Especially if you encrypt your phone only with a PIN, it appears that it's quite easy to find that PIN. More than that, there is already a script on github which automates a lot of the process.
Now the unanswered issue is: Which command do you use to mount the partition in Linux?
In any case: be aware, the encryption does not protect you much at all. Of course that's what you should expect with a 4 key (usually numeric) PIN.

How would Buddha vote?
"Health is the greatest gift, contentment the greatest wealth, faithfulness the best relationship," he wrote. "Without health life is not life; it is only a state of languor and suffering - an image of death."
On another occasion, he is recorded saying, "To enjoy good health, to bring true happiness to one's family, to bring peace to all, one must first discipline and control one's own mind. If a man can control his mind he can find the way to Enlightenment, and all wisdom and virtue will naturally come to him." And at yet another time, he said,"To keep the body in good health is a duty... otherwise we shall not be able to keep our mind strong and clear."
Hmmmm. But nothing about IRS enforcement of mandated payments.

MONTE SERENO — Police handling the case for the killing of Silicon Valley venture capitalist Raveesh "Ravi" Kumra refused to provide any further information Sunday, a day after announcing they had arrested three more suspects.
Kumra, a tech investor who once owned the Mountain Winery in Saratoga, was killed in his 7,000-square-foot Monte Sereno home on Nov. 30 at age 66, the first homicide in the small town since 1972. His wife, Harinder, called 911 after being beaten by the suspects, who also ransacked the home, police said.
Since then, Los Gatos-Monte Sereno police have arrested a woman with a history of prostitution, Raven Chanel Dixon, 22, of Alameda, who was arraigned on Dec. 21 after being charged as an accessory in the killing.
On Saturday, police issued a short news release announcing they had arrested three more suspects on suspicion of homicide: Lucas Anderson, Javier Garcia and Deangelo Austin. Anderson appeared in court Friday while Garcia and Austin could be arraigned as soon as Monday.
Austin was booked by police in Sacramento on Saturday, Garcia was arrested by Oakland police Thursday and Anderson was charged after being interviewed on Wednesday in Santa Clara County Jail, where he was in custody on unrelated charges.
No further details have been released. Still publicly unknown are:
More information could be released Monday.
Sgt. Kelly Harris, a spokesman for the police department, said additional details have not been provided due to what he termed the "active and ongoing" investigation. He did not know whether the three latest suspects have hired lawyers.
The Santa Clara County District Attorney's Office, contacted on Sunday, also did not have further information on the case.

If you're new to graphic or web design, you may find it confusing when you use an image editor and see some of the various color models and modes available. This post aims to briefly explain the theory behind models in Photoshop and why you would choose one particular model over the other.
What is a color model?
A color model is simply a way to define color. A model describes how color will appear on the computer screen or on paper. Three popular color models are:
- CMYK (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black)
- RGB (Red, Green, Blue)
- Lab Color
Let's take a look at each of these in turn.
1. The CMYK model is used for print work and it describes colors based on their percentage of Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black. These four colors are used by commercial printers and bureaus and you may also find that your home printer uses these colors too. These four colors are needed to reproduce full color artwork in magazines, books and brochures. By combining Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black on paper in varying percentages, the illusion of lots of colors is created.
CMYK is known as a "subtractive" color model. White is the natural color of the paper or other background, while black results from a full combination of colored inks.

The separations below, on the left use maximum black and a minimal amount of cyan, magenta and black. On the right are separations for printing with process cyan, magenta, and yellow inks.

2. The RGB model is used when working with screen based designs. A value between 0 and 255 is assigned to each of the light colors, Red, Green and Blue. So for example, if you wanted to create a purely blue color, Red would have a value of 0, Green would have a value of 0 and Blue would have a value of 255 (pure blue). To create black, Red, Green and Blue would each have a value of 0 and to create white, each would have a value of 255. RGB is known as an "additive" model and is the opposite of the subtractive color model.
In this situation, when we talk of "value" of color, we're referring to the strength of the colors in relation to each other. In the image below, you can see a photograph separated into its red, green and blue elements.
Girl's Print Colorful with Flower Shoes Grey flat Ballerina Wild Comfort On Slip rBwvCqAr
3. The Lab color model is a slightly more complex beast. It is made up of three components – the lightness component (L) ranging from 0 to 100, the "a" component comes from the green-red axis in the Adobe Color Picker, and the "b" component which comes from the blue-yellow axis in the Adobe Color Picker. Both "a" and "b" can range from +127 to –128. When Photoshop is converting from one model to another, it uses Lab as the intermediate color model.
So, after all that which model should you use?
If you know that your work is being sent to a commercial printer, then it's a good idea to start your document in CMYK mode. Otherwise it's safe to say that you can work in RGB for almost any other non-printing project. It is possible to convert from one color model to another but as RGB and CMYK spaces are both device-dependent spaces, the conversion formula is not that simple and requires a color management system (such as Photoshop or other graphics editor) using color profiles and that is why conversions are rarely exact. If you do need to convert from one color model to the other, it's just a matter of choosing Image > Mode and then picking the one you need.

Think Gen III and newer engine swaps are a bit spendy and limited to those with deep pockets? Try again, because we're about to extinguish those beliefs and show you how to get up to date with today's modern powerplant without breaking the bank.
We've showcased many LS conversions, but this has to be the most affordable transplant we've ever seen. It all started with getting the inside scoop on Stoker's Hot Rod Factory's latest LS conversion brackets; add in the '55 Tri-Five they picked up recently for their shop's ride, a $900 Vortec 5300 5.3L sitting in the corner, and you have the recipe for a cool street machine that'll provide a lot of fun for years to come.
For this conversion, we're strictly focusing on the engine hardware, namely the LS conversion brackets. However, for those of you wondering about the computer harness and fuel system, there are a number of options to choose from.
In this case, a MSD high pressure fuel pump was used to provide the petrol; priced at just over $100, these gems can support up to 500 hp while only requiring 5.4 amps. For the return line, a 5/16-inch hardline was plumbed to the original drain in the tank; nothing overly complicated. If this isn't an option, then drill and tap the fuel sender.
When it came to the harness, again, you have several options that range from the factory setup to a complete stand-alone system. Our setup retained the factory harness both from an economical standpoint and because it came with the engine.
There you have, an easy way to bring your street machine up to date with a modern-day powerplant on a blue-collar budget.
What's a Vortec 5300
Displacement: 325ci
Engine block: Cast-iron or aluminum
Cylinder heads: Aluminum or iron 15-degree cathedral port
Bore & stroke: 3.780 x 3.622
Compression: 9.5:1-10:1
Power: 285-320 hp and 325-340 lb-ft
Used in: 1999+ mid/full-size trucks and SUVs

So there are two ways one can respond to this. Either in agreement or disagreement.
Now an argument against the statment that gods are not correspondences is that not all practitioners are theistic or see it as more than an aspect of the psyche, working psychologically.
i understand their point of view and would not say that they are wrong in that regard however i agree that gods are not mere correspondences.
Psyche is Greek for Soul after all. i do thing god-forms are created by psychological correspondence, I do.... which are imbued either with ones one life or some divinity outside of themselves depending on ones model.
they are more than correspondences, they are also syntaxi, thought-patterns and com plex psychological pathways traveled by that we consider transcendent. i will say this, and i stand by it: Even if you see them as psychological correspondences you had better treat them right, in fact that's a good reason to treat them right because treating them wrong is treating yourself wrong and without some kind of personal relationship to them, you aren't going to be working with them as well.
now people can take or leave that statement.
I will also say it pisses me off when people use a god from a culture they dont understand, not taking the time to properly approach the entity. Seeing them as entities they shall work with who they chose, i'm not saying one can't work with them because they aren't from the same culture. the personal relationship is personal between them. that said, I do feel that it is wrong to call up an entity simple because they are listed as corresponding to a given candle color or what have you. It is disrespectful to the entity, it is disrespectful to their followers, to the culture and it also prevents you from forming strong relationships.

The Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts (PAFA), 128 N. Broad St., has just opened "A Mine of Beauty, Landscapes by William Trost Richards," now on view until Dec. 30, an exhibition of small-scale watercolors by American landscape and marine painter William Trost Richards, created between 1875-1885.
Hailed in 1873 by a critic as "America's best known watercolor painter," William Trost Richards (1833-1905) created this series of watercolors as tokens of esteem and affection for his patron, Philadelphia collector George Whitney (1819-1885), who owned one of the city's greatest 19th century art collections. In appreciation for the financial support that Whitney provided, Richards would include small watercolors with his weekly letters that the two men joked were "coupons" on their bond — both personal and financial.
The exhibit features popular Chestnut Hill retreats such as "The Forest" (1868), a large and detailed painting of Devil's Pool; and "The Wissahickon" (1872), a stunning painting of the picturesque creek winding between wooded banks through Fairmount Park. "The Forest" was lent to PAFA by the Palmer Museum of Art of Penn State University, and "The Wissahickon" is courtesy of Drexel University College of Medicine.
Whitney, a hugely successful businessman whose fortune came from the manufacturing of wheels for railroad cars, acquired at least one oil painting from Richards annually from the mid-1860s until 1872, and "The Forest" was one such purchase. It thus represents Whitney's eager support of Richards' career and was also likely Richards' way of repaying Whitney for funding the artist's travel abroad in the mid-1860s, further exemplifying the close working relationship between these men.
Hailed by critics as Richards' Pre-Raphaelite "triumph," "The Forest" captures the deeply shaded wooded dell known as the Devil's Pool at the confluence of the Cresheim and Wissahickon Creeks in Chestnut Hill.
"The Wissahickon" depicts another scenic passage of Wissahickon Creek, here shown as a stream winding between tree-lined banks through a thickly wooded area of Fairmount Park. Set in Germantown, where the artist lived, and not far from Whitney's summer residence in Chestnut Hill, this detailed rendering of a popular local retreat represents the close bond between these men both socially and geographically. The luminous canvas hangs in this exhibition with its earlier, low-lit counterpart, "The Forest," just as it once was hung in Whitney's own 19th-century Philadelphia art gallery.
Coordinated by Curator of Historical American Art, Anna O. Marley, and accompanied by a catalogue containing more than 100 full-color images, the exhibition documents both a friendship between artist and patron that spans continents and decades and a remarkable Philadelphia landscape painter at the height of his powers.
"Whitney's important collection was dispersed at his death; however, these watercolor gifts from Richards remained a treasured family possession," said Marley. "Thanks to the generosity and vision of Dorrance H. Hamilton, they have now found their way back to Philadelphia, and particularly to PAFA's collection."
Hamilton, a Main Line heiress of the Campbell's Soup fortune, obtained the paintings (about 200) from the Whitney family, which had them ever since George Whitney died in 1885. Exhibited in their entirety and hung alongside a selection of Richards' large-scale works from both PAFA and select private collections, these works offer views spanning Richards' travels from the picturesque southwest coast of England and the River Thames in London to Newport, Rhode Island.
Compelled by the shift in American landscape tastes in the 1870s from the descriptive realism of mid-century toward a more painterly and subjective approach, Richards was persuaded to embrace coastal subjects and watercolors. This decision prompted the artist's sojourn to England in 1878 to expand his repertoire, with two summers of expeditions spent along the country's dramatic southern coast.
Richards passed the English winters in London, preparing paintings for exhibition from myriad studies during summers along the coast. Richards' strongest response to London seems to have occurred on the River Thames: "I am beginning to learn," he wrote to Whitney in December, 1879, "that the Thames is the most picturesque river in the world, and I wish I could give myself up to Thames subjects alone. Even Turner has not done justice to it."
For those who would like to learn more about the exhibition, PAFA will be conducting an "Art-at-Lunch" program every Wednesday, 12 noon to 1 p.m. that is free and open to the public. No reservations are required, and all lectures take place in the Hamilton Auditorium of the Historic Landmark Building.
For more information about the exhibit, call 215-972-2106 or visit www.pafa.org

Williston State College on the cusp of important upgrades
Monday, May 20th, 2013
Posted by Williston Wire/Williston Herald
Important state investments are on the way to Williston State College, designed to continue bringing the facilities and experience on the nearly 50-year-old campus up to today's high standards.
"Our campus has to be something meaningful for the student, it should provide a sense of belonging," said Ray Nadolny, president of Williston State College. "Everything should be inviting, on a smaller scale than a large-size university, but a quality experience regardless of size."
The two most recently funded changes will focus on the main entrance to the college and the building at the center of the campus experience, Stevens Hall.
In lieu of the current setup where parking lots dominate the front entrance to campus, the campus drive just off University Avenue will be reconfigured into a circular drive in front of the buildings with a campus quad at the center. This will all be landscaped and made to feel park-like. This project comes at a cost of just under $2 million.
"We want to think big and make things happen," said Nadolny. "This will allow us to create a meaningful difference in the community."
The largest difference that will happen as a result of state funding will take place to Stevens Hall. At just over $11.6 million, the renovation of this critical building will provide a learning environment with an inside and outside look that feels more like a university in North Dakota. Nadolny is grateful the state stepped up to provide the sorely needed funding for improvements. The well-used structure was built by the Williston community, and this marks the first time that the state has invested the dollars needed to upgrade Stevens Hall since it opened more than 40 years ago.
"We're looking forward to having more flexible learning, administration, and student life space within the building," said Nadolny. "The college and its students need to be able to take advantage of this foundational building for decades to come. Having this funding and making these renovations will make that possible."
Williston State College officials expect improvements to the campus drive to start as soon as funds are available and be finished prior to winter of this year. The timeline for renovations at Stevens Hall is longer, as plans call for this larger project to be finished in early 2015.
Tuition, Salaries and Housing
Along with great financial support for these two major projects on campus, President Nadolny has indicated that North Dakota Legislators and the Governor have allowed for additional unprecedented advances for Williston State College, specifically in the areas of tuition and salaries.
Williston State College's tuition of $100.68 per credit hour, the lowest in the state, was set in 2009. Williston State has not raised tuition for five years. As a result of the 2013 legislative session, the college will again be in a position not to raise tuition. While the State Board of Higher Education has approved the college's ability to raise tuition, Williston State will be making a request not to raise tuition.
And when it comes to attracting the right employees, Nadolny feels positive that he is "in the best position to attract and recruit people." The biggest reasons for this sentiment come from a big boost in what the college is able to pay new and long-time employees and the housing opportunities opening up soon on campus.
When President Nadolny started at Williston State College, four years ago, starting faculty salaries were $28,000. Starting faculty salaries for this coming fall will be $40,000. The college is currently putting together next year's budget and, assuming nothing changes, the average faculty salary will increase from $48,919 in 2012 to $59,858 in 2013.
To cap off the current surge of excitement and energy, a new 74-unit apartment building will be move-in ready in early August. The housing is a combined effort between various local and state entities that need housing for their essential community services personnel. Thanks to the efforts of the Williston State College Foundation, the North Dakota Housing Finance Agency and many others, rent prices will be kept down in an effort to retain affordable housing.
Maintaining a bright future for the College during a time of great investment in Williston; all part of what Nadolny calls a "phenomenal outcome" for Williston State College.

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Three college students from California are among 32 U.S. students who will be awarded the prestigious Rhodes scholarship to study at Oxford University next Fall.
Larkspur native Catherine Laporte-Oshiro, Daniel Price of Grass Valley and Bakersfield's Evan Szablowski were among the Rhodes Scholars announced on Sunday. The scholars are selected based on a core set of criteria: academic achievement, personal integrity, leadership potential and physical vigor.
A senior majoring in ethics, politics and economics at Yale University, Laporte-Oshiro will pursue an advanced degree in modern Chinese studies at Oxford.
Price will graduate from the University of California, Berkeley, with two degrees, one in bioengineering, and one in electrical engineering and computer sciences. At Oxford he will continue his bioengineering studies.
He said he will focus on researching and developing medical devices that are "accessible to all demographics."
Szablowski majors in mathematics at the United States Military Academy. He hopes to get a master's degree in mathematical modeling and scientific computing. He said he hopes to eventually work in military intelligence.
The scholarships provide all expenses for study at the prestigious university in England.

Godzilla's 50th birthday was marked by an over-the-top celebration. On Nov. 29, 2004, the much-loved monster was given a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in front of Grauman's Chinese Theatre. The event also honored his retirement from the movies, after completing the Toho Pictures Inc. film "Godzilla: Final Wars."
The icing on the cake was when Hollywood's honorary mayor, Johnny Grant, proclaimed Nov. 29 "Godzilla Day."
Actor Tsutomu Kitagawa donned the rubber suit he wore to portray Godzilla to accept the award alongside producer Shogo Tomiyama.
It was a good week for Godzilla. He appeared on a float in the Hollywood Christmas Parade on Nov. 28 and walked the red carpet at his final Japanese film's premiere on the evening of Nov. 29.
Godzilla has received a number of awards, including an MTV Movie Awards lifetime achievement honor in 1996. This year's release of Warner Bros.' "Godzilla" brings him out of retirement.

Bighorn Sheep Visit March, 2002

|Arboretum visitors, volunteers and staff enjoyed a rare treat on March 31, 2002, when a healthy young desert bighorn ram and ewe walked onto the Arboretum grounds from the adjacent Tonto National Forest.

|The Ram sunbathed on the volcanic rocks inside and below magma ridge, close enough to the main trail for the delight and hotographic advantage of everyone who visited that day.March 31 isnt the first time this year the charismatic animals have been seen in the Arboretum. Twice this winter staff and visitors spotted a ram (probably this same animal) accompanied by a ewe. On this visit he appeared to be alone.The young ram was first spotted on a boulder on the south side of Magma Ridge, just past the Wing Memorial Herb Garden.

|He remained there until mid-afternoon, then ambled over the ridge and drank from the stream that cascades from the pumphouse atop the ridge and down the north side into Ayer Lake.

Our thanks to all
the Arboretum visitors that day who respectfully remained on park trails to
photograph this magnificent animal. Thanks also to Arboretum horticulturist

The top teams in the league are starting to present themselves as such -- or so we think -- and thus, we'll see a little less spastic movement in the rankings.
No teams jumping 10 spots, although the little Buffalo Bills got a bump of some note, as did the Washington Redskins and New Orleans Saints. All three delivered big wins to their fan bases, but perhaps New Orleans' was the most impressive. One week after an emotional home win over the previously undefeated Atlanta Falcons, Drew Brees and company showed no letdown, travelling across the country to dominate the Oakland Raiders.
The key for the 5-5 Saints, and everyone else vying for a wild-card spot, is the conference record. You see, two of the Saints' losses came versus the AFC West, leaving their conference record -- a principal factor in the postseason tiebreaker process -- at three up, three down. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Dallas Cowboys and Seattle Seahawks -- all eyeing the final two playoff slots -- each have four conference losses already. And just like in baseball pennant races, it's all about the loss column. That's something to keep an eye on in the coming weeks.
Ahh, but we don't have to pull out our TI-81 graphing calculators to figure out playoff computations just yet. Let's see how teams stack up right now.
And per the usual, bring on the dissension.
(Note: Arrows reflect change in standings from last week's Power Rankings.)
PREVIOUS RANKINGS: Week 11 | 10 | 9 | 8 | 7 | 6 | 5 | 4 | 3 | 2 | 1
Neither of the top two teams looked dominant in Week 11, but both survived to improve to 9-1. Sometimes that's what it takes in the modern NFL. The bright spot in the win was Andre Johnson, who looked like the guy who was once voted as the best wide receiver of the Y2K era. Fourteen catches, 273 yards and a walk-off touchdown. So much for being old and slow.
Big ups to the Atlanta Falcons' defense. Coordinator Mike Nolan's unit continually bailed out Matt Ryan, who threw five picks against the Arizona Cardinals. The defense has not been dominant, or even formidable, but it has been quite effective at limiting big plays in the passing game. The Falcons have allowed just 26 pass plays of 20-plus yards (tied for sixth in the NFL) and just aren't giving opposing offenses any gimmes down the field.
It has to make you ponder how much noise the San Francisco 49ers will make in the postseason when they win by multiple scores with their backup quarterback. Colin Kaepernick was fantastic Monday night. San Francisco now has head-to-head wins over the Green Bay Packers and Chicago Bears, two of their three biggest competitors for home-field advantage. In case you're wondering, the 49ers do not play Atlanta in the regular season.
The Green Bay Packers drop a spot to make room in the top three for the 49ers, who absolutely dominated the Bears. Kicker Mason Crosby must have had so many Packer fans holding their breath right before his field goal to go up 24-20 with under a minute to play in Detroit on Sunday. His two early misses loomed large, but the play in the win had to be M.D. Jennings' 72-yard interception return for a touchdown. It was his second huge pick this season -- except this one counted.
Joe Flacco at home: 66.5 completion percentage, 322.4 yards per game, 10 touchdowns and three interceptions.
Joe Flacco on the road: 54.2 completion percentage, 176.6 yards per game, three touchdowns and four interceptions.
If you can explain that trend, Baltimore Ravens fans, I'd love to hear it. @Harrison_NFL. Good luck.
All those people who flooded my Twitter inbox saying the Indianapolis Colts were gonna win? Crickets. Some might feel Denver is the best team in the AFC, but the Broncos have yet to pull off a 59-point demolition like the New England Patriots. Not to mention the fact that Denver was soundly beaten in New England earlier this season. Thus, the Pats get this spot, and the Broncos get ...
Who thought Brandon Stokley would give the Broncos this much production this season? Denver didn't exactly have to fight off a bunch of suitors for the 36-year-old slot receiver. I saw him on the field after February's Super Bowl, just walking around with his son, sporting a nondescript gray zip-up and jeans, looking at a bunch of confetti. Stokley had played two games for the New York Giants (catching one pass) and was at Lucas Oil Stadium to cheer on his teammates. How many people even knew he was in the NFL last year? But there he was Sunday, catching a 31-yard touchdown pass for his fifth score on the season. That's more than Miles Austin, Dez Bryant, Larry Fitzgerald, Antonio Gates and Roddy White.
I was about to write something deep here, but the 49ers ran a stunt and pummeled my laptop.
Seattle finds itself in the wild-card mix at 6-4, with the primary issue being a middle-of-the-road conference record (4-4). The Seahawks have to take care of business against four remaining NFC opponents to fare well come tiebreaker time. Seattle faces the Cardinals, 49ers and Rams at home, with a game against the Bears at Soldier Field.
The New York Giants move up a spot after a bye, thanks to the Steelers' drop, as well as several Big Blue players getting an opportunity to get healthier (Ahmad Bradshaw, Hakeem Nicks, etc.). Hopefully, offensive coordinator Kevin Gilbride and quarterback Eli Manning put their heads together during the bye week to figure out the recent malaise afflicting the passing game. Over the last three contests, Manning has completed just 54.5 percent of his passes with zero touchdowns and four interceptions. He's also thrown for a grand total of 532 yards over that stretch. Considering he put up 510 in Week 2 alone ...
Sunday's win in Charlotte was absolutely ridiculous. The throw-and-catch from Josh Freeman to Vincent Jackson, when the Bucs were down, 21-13, with 15 ticks left, was unbelievable. Freeman's ball placement on the subsequent two-point conversion said a lot about his development from last season. Speaking of which ... the next couple games on the Bucs' docket should reveal much about the ilk of this team: vs. Falcons, at Broncos.
Injuries and a loss force a three-step drop. And expect a lot of those from Charlie Batch, too, because he ain't throwing it deep.
Would you believe that if the Falcons had not been able to pull out the win versus Arizona, we'd be talking about the Saints' chances at winning the division? A month ago, the playoffs seemed like a freaking pipe dream. A huge reason for the Saints' success is the recent play of the secondary, which competed its butt off in Oakland. Next week, New Orleans hosts the Niners in a rematch of the top game of 2011.
The Minnesota Vikings finally got a week off. Good thing, because the rest of their schedule is absolutely brutal: at Bears, at Packers, vs. Bears, at Rams, at Texans, vs. Packers.
Let me deliberate on it for a moment. No.
@harrison_nfl really, honestly, sincerely, do you think vikings have any playoff options, please, be honestâ Mr. Shameless (@emanuelpazos) November 16, 2012
From the brink of disaster to 5-5. And losses by both the Colts and Steelers gave Marvin Lewis' group increased hope in the wild-card race. A win this Sunday at home against the lowly Raiders likely would make the Dec. 23 trip to Heinz Field the most important game of the season for Cincinnati.
Another solid showing by Tony Romo, who avoided throwing an interception for the third straight week. Interesting that another NFC quarterback threw five picks this week, which inspired this tweet ...
Couldn't have said it better myself. On the other side of the ball, DeMarcus Ware is not enough to get consistent pressure. The more defensive coordinator Rob Ryan is forced to use the blitz, the larger the gaps in coverage on the back end.
@harrison_nfl Ryan throws 5 picks against a bad team: little attention paid to it. Romo throws 5 against a great team: national criticism.â Joe Walker (@SardonicSatire) November 18, 2012
Indianapolis Colts are playoff-bound, says everyone.
They've been outscored by 50, says the Power Rankings wet blanket.
The Detroit Lions are in serious trouble. Not only is Detroit last in the NFC North, but an 0-4 record in the division and a 3-5 conference mark means this team probably needs to run the table to make the playoffs. #Doubtful
Tecmo Super Bowl stat line of the week goes to Robert Griffin III: 14-for-15, four touchdowns, no picks, 84 yards rushing. Ironic it came against the Philadelphia Eagles, because that was a "QB Eagles" stat line from the greatest video game ever.
What a performance from Mario Williams last Thursday night versus the Fins. Jimmy Buffett must've let out a silent cry while watching Williams thoroughly dominate rookie right tackle Jonathan Martin. Next up: at Indianapolis. Big game.
Who the heck is Ryan Lindley? Guarantee you that question was asked in dorm rooms, Hooters and snazzy luxury suites at the Georgia Dome thousands of times. The third-stringer was pressed into service after John Skelton (another household name) was benched. Lindley was so-so at best. (Maybe that's even a stretch.) The Arizona Cardinals' offense couldn't generate much, particularly Lindley, who went 9-for-20 for 64 yards. Nonetheless, you have to hand a pound of respect to a Cardinals defense that generated six turnovers and held the Falcons' offense in check most of the day.
Some Tennessee Titans fans might be holding out hope for a late playoff push -- or a .500 push -- with a decent schedule down the back stretch. The best guess here would be a 7-9 finish, giving Mike Munchak a .500 record through two years. The jury is still out on the coach and Jake Locker as a tandem; they came in together, but Locker's early-season shoulder injury derailed a true evaluation process. Either way, this team has looked miles better than whatever that was early in the season, particularly with regard to Chris Johnson, who, amazingly enough, is averaging more than 5 yards per carry despite a horrid start.
Miami's wideouts struggle mightily to get any separation. I found myself feeling bad for both Ryan Tannehill and Dolphins fans everywhere. For all who follow the little mammal with a helmet ( don't change the logo!), there must be a certain sense of dread when this team falls behind by two scores, like it did in Buffalo. This is not an offense that takes shots down the field, nor is it built to come from behind.
The San Diego Chargers had an opportunity to be just one game behind the Broncos in the AFC West with a tie in the head-to-head department. Now the Bolts are three games back, though in reality, they're down by four, because of the 0-2 record versus Denver. Opportunity lost. Philip Rivers' uneven play continues to madden Chargers fans, but the guiltiest party in another underwhelming season is a subpar running game that averages 3.8 yards per carry, 24th in the NFL. On Sunday, the Chargers ran 23 times and gained all of 53 yards. That's brutal. That's 4-6 football.
Nice to see the New York Jets playing like a cohesive unit Sunday in St. Louis. Mark Sanchez played well. The defense wouldn't allow Sam Bradford to do the same. The Jets also ran the football a whopping 41 times, burning clock while not placing the hopes of an entire football team on Sanchez's shoulders. Looks like Tebowmania ain't happenin', folks.
At some point, Sam Bradford has to start playing ball. His career has a Rick Mirer arc to it, at least at this stage. On Sunday, he threw 44 passes ... for 170 yards. Talk about no gas mileage.
Brent Celek says he's "sick about this crap." He's sick of losing. He's also surely upset about his drop that led to an interception. Well, if he's back next season, he won't be sick of faces; many of the familiar ones could be gone. With Michael Vick due $15.5 million next season ... you get the point. Although, all those Philadelphia Eagles fans clamoring for the Nick Foles era got a trailer Sunday -- as in, a trailer for movies of quality, like Terminator Salvation, The Green Lantern and Alexander.
Of all the losses in the Ron Rivera era, the 27-21 debacle in Week 11 has to be the worst. I mean, from here, there's nowhere to go but up. The Carolina Panthers were winning, 21-10, with just over two minutes to play. The reality is Rivera has only won eight of 26 games. The general manager who hired him is gone. His quarterback has regressed. And the defense -- Rivera's side of the ball -- has struggled late in games. Ironically, next Monday night, Rivera's Panthers face a team in a tailspin of equal gravity: the Philadelphia Eagles.
Cleveland Browns fans have been forced to endure far too many close losses, starting all the way back in Week 1 versus the Eagles. Both Cleveland lines dominated the Cowboys, and yet, the team lost its eighth game of the season. That doesn't make sense. Defensive penalties absolutely killed Dick Jauron's unit, which sorely missed cornerback Joe Haden. Look for the Browns to address the secondary in the 2013 NFL Draft. We're already looking forward to the draft. Dude, is there any harder team to be a fan of than the Browns? Yes, the next team in the rankings ...
While losing myself in the three overtimes from the early games Sunday, I did look up long enough to notice the Raiders were down, 14-0. In two weeks, they've been outscored 93-37. Oakland Raiders football. Get excited.
Is there any question now that the Jacksonville Jaguars' offense looks better with Chad Henne in there? It appeared that way in Oakland and against Indianapolis a few weeks ago. But after a huge day in Houston -- and a narrow loss to the class of the AFC -- it behooves Mike Mularkey to play Henne, irrespective of Blaine Gabbert's health. It's only fair to the players, who must earn their jobs. Time to make Gabbert earn his.
We moved the Kansas City Chiefs up a slot for playing Pittsburgh so tough two Mondays ago. Any momentum possibly gained there was lost in another blowout loss to Cincinnati. Make that a home blowout loss. The Chiefs have been demolished by the Falcons, Chargers, Raiders and Bengals in front of one of the most supportive fan bases in pro football. And to think their lone win came in overtime.

Clearance stock. We only have the sizes available.
In our opinion, the Roof Desmo has to be one of the most innovative helmets to come onto the motorcycle helmet market for many, many years.
Roof has spent many years looking at ways to develop the original RO31 helmet model and have come up with the Desmo: the world's first fully versatile full-face helmet.
The helmet is crammed full of new features including Roof's special 3D aerated cheek, neck, windguard and headband lining which are all removable and washable. The Roof Desmo also has an ergonomic chinbar locking mechanism, which can be operated with just one hand.
Inlaid Venturi front and top air intakes gives the rider exceptional airflow around both the head and face; the flow of air can be adjusted easily with one hand. The chinbar has two individual air intake shutters – one that directs air across the face and the other that directs flow directly across the visor via an air deflector enabling rapid demisting.
The Desmo has a dual seal with two Roof joints, which work together to keep you dry on the road. One of the joints is mounted in the shell itself while the second is mounted on the chinbar on their own 'highly technical memory foam'.
Moving the chinbar controls the movement of the visor automatically, enabling the rider to go from full face protection to an air jet configuration 'in the blink of an eye'. When in air jet configuration, the visor automatically comes closer to the shell to limit air turbulence.
As you would expect, the Roof Desmo has double E22-05 certification to cover both jet and full-face configurations. The helmet has progressive density dual shock absorbers for optimal protection.
Available in a range of solid colours, including this gloss silver version.

The cleanest way to handle a major rebuild is to create a new chroot and build your first package (typically the package you are doing the rebuild for). Then create a local repo in chroot. To do this:
$ sudo mkdir <chrootdir>/root/repo
$ sudo mkdir <chrootdir>/root/repo
Revision as of 16:39, 10 December 2009
This article is part of the DeveloperWiki.
Building in a clean chroot prevents missing dependancies in packages, whether due to unwanted linking or packages missing in the depends array in the PKGBUILD. It also allows you to build a package for the stable repositories (core, extra, community) while having packages from [testing] installed on your system.
Building with chroots requires aufs2. You will need to install the aufs2 and aufs2-util packages before you get started
# pacman -S aufs2 aufs2-util
Setting Up A Chroot
The devtools package provides tools for creating and building within clean chroots. To make a clean chroot, firstly create the directory you want it to reside in. For the purposes of this article this will be called <chrootdir>. The create your chroot using
$ sudo mkarchroot -C <pacman.conf> -M <makepkg.conf> <chrootdir>/root base base-devel sudo
The -C and -M flags are optional, but it is recommended to provide these with clean pacman.conf and makepkg.conf files (directly from the pacman package) during first creation of clean chroot to ensure lack of user specific adjustments.
Edit the <chrootdir>/root/etc/makepkg.conf file to set the packager name and any makeflags. Also adjust the mirror list in <chrootdir>/root/etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist and enable [testing] in <chrootdir>/root/etc/pacman.conf if wanted.
Building in the Chroot
Firstly, make sure your chroot is up to date with:
$ sudo mkarchroot -u <chrootdir>/root
Then, to build a package in your chroot run
$ sudo makechrootpkg -c -r <chrootdir>
A unionfs is used to maintain the clean chroot during building. All installed dependencies or makedepends and other changes made during building are done in <chrootdir>/rw. Passing the -c flag to makechrootpkg ensures that this directory is cleaned before building starts.
Handling Major Rebuilds
The cleanest way to handle a major rebuild is to create a new chroot and build your first package (typically the package you are doing the rebuild for). Then create a local repo in your new chroot. To do this:
$ sudo mkdir <chrootdir>/root/repo $ sudo chmod 777 <chrootdir>/root/repo
The chmod statement allows you to copy package files and create the local repo as your user rather than root.
$ cp <package> <chrootdir>/root/repo $ cd <chrootdir>/root/repo $ repo-add local.db.tar.gz <package>
Then add the local repo to <chrootdir>/root/etc/pacman.conf
[local] Server = file:///repo
and update your repo
$ sudo mkarchroot -u <chrootdir>/root
With every additional package rebuilt, copy the package to the local repo directory, add it to the repo database and update your chroot.
Alternate Rebuild Handling
The above directions will work fine, but they can dirty the "pristine" chroot that makechrootpkg tries to keep in check (that is the point of using unionfs - dirtying a separate 'rw' directory).
Using a custom repo
Follow the steps above to setup a local repo inside the chroot.
Build packages using:
$ sudo makechrootpkg -r <chrootdir> -u
The -u will update the chroot before building (-Syu) but updates will be installed to the rw layer, maintaining a clean chroot.
Manual package installation
Packages can be installed manually to the rw layer of the chroot by using:
$ sudo makechrootpkg -r <chrootdir> -I package-1.0-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz
Installation after building
You can tell makechrootpkg to simply install a package to the rw layer of the chroot after building by passing the -i arg. Unrecognized args get passed to makepkg, so this calls `makepkg` with the -i arg.
$ sudo makechrootpkg -r <chrootdir> -- -i

Of course, the problem with that premise will be that the more obscure the song, the more difficult it will be to find a video of it. The quality of today's video will attest to that fact. It is a live version and not nearly as haunting and poignant as the studio cut.
So, now that my intro is crudely out of the way . . . .
(Vol. 1)
Artist - Sixpence none The Richer Album - Divine Discontent
Americans like distractions.
We must, because we are so easily distracted. Why do you think bad news always comes out late on a Friday afternoon? Although you'd barely know it from the (American) media, there has been a great deal of brutal carnage going on in Gaza for the last month. To be fair, there has been a lot to distract us from the rest of the world lately; the holiday season, the banking crisis, the economy, the new administration nominating cabinet officials, and of course, the inauguration.
It seems the human race just can't keep from killing and maiming one another. I challenge you to find a 5 year period in modern history without a war of some type. Hell, I haven't done the math, but I'll bet a 2 year period doesn't exist. Perhaps that's why we hardly treat it as news anymore. What is your reaction when you watch an account of a village being bombed? Do you ignore it? Are you anesthetized to it? Or do you grieve?
This song was written 10 years ago, but it will sadly remain topical for as long as human nature remains as it is. It is also an appropriate response to violence.
Again, seek out the studio cut, it's so much better.
(Matt Slocum)
I look out to the fields
Where blood is shed upon the ground
I breathe in, breathe out
Change the channel, mute the sound
I take a match, a cigarette, and a walk to clear my head
Stomach's reeling at the thought of all those (human beings dead)
I breathe in, breathe out
I'm going to an interview
About a song, three minutes long
I just need something to do
Especially when my dearest friend
Was sent to cover Kosovo
His last assignment brought a bullet
And now he's gone, he's gone
Feels like I'm fiddling while Rome is burning down
Should I lay my fiddle down, take a rifle from the ground
I need the Ghost to breathe a Northern Gale tonight*
'cause I'm paralyzed, I'm paralyzed
I packed his books up, left the office*
Went to tell the wife the news
She fell in shock, the baby kicked,
And shed a tear inside the womb
I breathed in, I breathed out,
Soaked the ground up with my eyes
It's hard to say a healing word
When your tongue is paralyzed
Feels like I'm fiddling while Rome is burning down
Should I put my fiddle down, take a rifle from the ground
God give me strength to pray that You will set things right
'cause I'm paralyzed, I'm paralyzed
*Yes - some of these lyrics don't quite match the live version. This band was originally signed to a Christian label, and was still representing this label in 1999 when this performance was recorded. The song wasn't actually released until 2002 on a secular label. I am supposing that is the difference. These lyrics match the studio version.

Steven Pinker meets Sir Arthur Conan Doyle in this entertaining, insightful look at how the fictional London crime-solver used sophisticated mental strategies to solve complex problems of logic and deduction. Psychologist and author Maria Konnikova (who cites Pinker as a mentor) goes on to explain how we, too, can learn to develop
Holmes's habits of mind and how that training can help us make better decisions in our own lives.
Konnikova grew up in Russia listening to her father read Sherlock Holmes stories at bedtime, the beginning of her lifelong fascination with both Holmes and the human mind. She organizes her book beautifully, showing Holmes in action from Doyle's stories and then tracing his patterns and methods of inquiry through the lens of the latest findings of neuroscience and psychology.
One major theme in the book is the importance of knowing yourself and understanding how you think. So the author begins with a look at the concept of the "brain attic," Holmes's metaphor for how best to problem solve. The idea is that we are working with large but finite mental space, so we need to sift information, choosing what we keep carefully, and organizing new and stored information thoughtfully so we can retrieve, combine, and recombine knowledge in useful ways. It turns out that "subsequent research on memory formation, retention, and retrieval has . . . proven itself to be highly amenable to the attic analogy,'' Konnikova writes.
She then entertainingly contrasts Holmes and Dr. Watson, showing that most of us are plodding Watsons. Among the hardest things for us Watsons, notes the author, is to withhold judgment until we've analyzed all the evidence.
"Begin with a healthy dose of skepticism instead of the credulity that is your mind's natural state," writes Konnikova. While Watson is quick to jump to conclusions, Holmes forces himself to reserve judgment until he has all the facts, a more effective path. Once people reach a theory, they tend to singlemindedly focus on confirming it regardless of the facts, thus inviting error, explains the author. Holmes "knows that if he comes too quickly to a judgment, he will miss much of the evidence against it and pay more attention to the elements that are in its favor."
Holmes also cultivates a kind of mindfulness. His methods include sitting in a comfortable leather chair for hours considering alternatives, arranging and rearranging the evidence like puzzle pieces. His mind is fully engaged, as is his imagination, while we Watsons live in an age of limited attention spans: "We constantly make the active choice to disengage," writes Konnikova, "We listen to our headphones as we walk, run, take the subway. We check our phones when we are having dinner with our friends and family."
Another mistake we Watsons make, notes Konnikova, is missing the forest because we see only trees. We don't take a step back to view the bigger picture. Watson dives into a problem; Holmes pauses and reflects. Such distancing allows Holmes to see alternatives and complexities, notes the author. "We must learn to stretch our experience, to go beyond our initial instinct," Konnikova suggests. "We must learn to look for evidence that both confirms and disconfirms" our own views.
Alas, Holmes's creator didn't always follow in his creation's footsteps. Konnikova explains how Doyle, who believed in the existence of a spirit world, was fooled by staged 1920 photographs showing small, winged fairies. That belief led Doyle to lose his Holmesian skepticism, leading him to write a magazine article proclaiming the existence of fairies that would later prove extremely embarrassing.
This practical, enjoyable book, packed with modern science and real-life examples, shows you how to get your inner Holmes on and is worth at least a few hours of pipe-smoking reflection in a comfortable leather chair.Chuck Leddy, a freelance writer who lives in Dorchester, can be reached at chuckleddy@comcast

|Walter as a young man
with his parents,
Julia and Clyde Roesch
Walter is remembered as a young boy carrying his violin to school as he took music lessons. He spent many months in Eau Gallie Florida as a child with his parents in a cottage on Highland Avenue. His father, Clyde, purchased it from his brother, William Russell Roesch, Mayor of this charming town.
After graduation from Potosi High School, Walter attended Bayless Business College in Dubuque, IA. During World War II, Walter served in the U.S. Army. He worked as an administrative assistant at the Potosi Brewery. Walter later worked at the Civil Defense Office in Lancaster until his retirement. He was a member of the Davies Memorial United Church of Christ, where he played the organ for over 40 years.
Five months have now passed since Walter's death. Then a surprise came to me on June 22, 2012 in the form of a message waiting for me on ancestry.com. It read:
My name is John C. and I work for the Department of Veterans Affairs in the Memorial Programs Service and have received an application for a marker for Walter C. Roesch. Unfortunately there is a requirement that a next of kin signs the request in order to issue the marker. If you wish to be of help in this matter, please contact me at 888-101-1111 ext 111. Regards,
I immediately called John. It seems a veterans agent in Wisconsin had called him about the situation for he said that Walter had no next of kin. John told me that when these situations arise he researches ancestry.com to see if he can find a relative. This is how he found me.
I was overwhelmed with emotion and so grateful for the opportunity to do something so very special for Walter.

If you've ever poured more time or money into a bad decision despite mounting evidence to sprint the other way (think bad investments and bad relationships), then you've experienced what Haas Professor Barry Staw calls "escalation of commitment."
Staw, who retired at the end of 2012 after 32 years, coined the phrase in 1976 in his seminal paper "Knee-Deep in the Big Muddy: A Study of Escalating Commitment Toward a Chosen Course of Action."
To this day, "Knee-Deep" remains one of the most highly cited studies in organizational behavior (OB), and the concept is a mainstay in business school courses. It helped pioneer the field of behavioral decision theory, a sub-area of behavioral economics, and is just one of many examples of Staw's far-reaching influence on the field of organizational behavior. That influence was recognized in 2008 when he received the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Academy of Management's Organizational Behavior Division.
"Staw's work has illuminated people's thoughts, actions, and feelings in organizational and social settings in incredibly important, convincing ways," says Keith Murnighan, a leader in the field of OB and professor at Northwestern's Kellogg School of Management. "I know of no one in our field who has done so much provocative, important work."
No One-Trick Pony
Many academic scholars dream of having one brilliant idea in their careers. Staw has achieved much more.
Staw's classic study on intrinsic versus extrinsic reinforcement is counterintuitive, like much of his work. The study showed that ROTC members who were not going to be sent to the Vietnam War (due to their draft lottery number) were actually more committed and worked harder in the military organization than those who knew they were going to war.
Staw also reintroduced the concept of personality back into OB in the 1980s when it was unpopular to do so. He showed that whether people were unhappy or happy in junior high could serve as a predictor of job satisfaction late into their 50s and 60s. Because of this early work on happiness, there's now a whole branch of psychology called positive psychology and a popular field of emotions in OB.
Staw's most cited paper, "Threat-Rigidity Effects in Organizational Behavior: A Multilevel Analysis" (1980), argues that when people or organizations are under threat, they tend to be less adaptive. Rather, they become rigid in thinking and actions; revert to prior, known behavior; and add more rules and regulations.
"People and organizations actually do the worst thing that they should be doing," says Staw. "Instead, they should be looking for new approaches and innovating."
More recently, Staw has studied culture, creativity, and innovation. In a 2006 study that involved 204 university students, he concluded that firms who focus on individual employee achievement and uniqueness are more conducive to creating innovative ideas than companies who emphasize a more team-based structure.
The upshot of this research is that companies should protect individual perspectives, Staw says. "Organizations try to hire people who fit with the culture, but should instead look for people who are different," he says. "Nurturing individualistic perspectives is better than having a corporate-wide direction."
Real-Life Inspiration
Everyday life inspired Staw's research. For example, the failure of his father's discount chain, ABC Stores, inspired his escalation of commitment research. The store was once ranked the seventh largest discount chain in the country, but was eventually wiped out by larger chains like Kmart.
"Most people who were in my dad's situation were taking their personal money out of their businesses," recalls Staw. "But my father never gave up; instead he doubled down with every cent he had ever earned. He nearly lost everything."
Beyond research, Staw has taught hundreds of Berkeley MBA and PhD students since coming to Haas in 1980 from Northwestern, where he earned his PhD and worked as a professor.
Haas Professor Jennifer Chatman, PhD 88, a leading expert on organizational culture, studied with Staw as a PhD student. "Barry has had a huge impact on my thinking and on my career," says Chatman. "He always opened Pandora's box, getting me to rethink things and to ask the less obvious questions."
Even during retirement, Staw expects to closely watch the field of organizational behavior evolve from the sidelines, sort of-he has no immediate plans to move to Hawaii and golf full time. "Hopefully I'll be fading out slowly," he says. "I'll miss working with our students and colleagues the most."
And they will miss him: Berkeley Haas, the OB and management community, and the world will be losing a creative thinker who is never afraid to challenge conventional thinking, hallmarks of Berkeley Haas.

Press Release
State Alleges Felony Theft Charge in PFD Investigation
June 16, 2005
(Anchorage) - On Tuesday the Department of Law filed charges against Sabrina M. Ruffin** of Lawton, Oklahoma, alleging one count of theft in the first degree and four counts of unsworn falsification, stemming from an investigation of permanent fund dividend (PFD) fraud.
According to charging documents, Ruffin, 41, left Alaska in 1998, but continued to file for Alaska PFDs every year since 2000 for herself and her children. The state alleges that Ruffin falsely claimed that she was "in Alaska today", and falsely stated that she was "not gone from Alaska for more than 90 days total".
On each of the questioned applications, Ruffin used her parents' Anchorage address, rather than her true Oklahoma address. The applications were submitted from the Alaska address. Ruffin received over $29,000 in Alaska PFD payments between October 2000 and October 2004."
Ruffin's arraignment is currently scheduled for June 21, 2005 in Anchorage. She will be allowed to appear telephonically.
"Lying to get an Alaska PFD check is a crime - and often a felony level crime," said PFD fraud investigator Dan Boone. "People should realize that the PFD program does have a criminal investigation department. Those who lie to get dividends should know that they will be investigated, and they should expect to be taken to court."
"The Department of Law's Special Prosecutions Office supports the Department of Revenue's efforts to protect the dividend program," said Assistant Attorney General James Fayette. "When the PFD investigators detect fraud, it will be aggressively prosecuted."
Members of the public that may have any information regarding suspected fraudulent PFD applications are urged to place an anonymous call to the "Fraud Tip" line, at 907-465-2654 b(in Juneau) or (907) 269-0385 in Anchorage. For additional information regarding the Ruffin case, please contact Assistant Attorney General James Fayette, Office of Special Prosecutions, Anchorage, at 907-269.-6250.
** The charges in this case are merely an accusation. Defendant Sabrina M. Ruffin is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty.

Changes in the uterine and umbilical circulations after intra-aortic injection of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) or prostaglandin F2α (PGF2α) to either the fetus or the mother have been examined in 13 ewes at late gestation. PGF2α given to either the fetus or the mother is vasoconstrictive in both uterine and umbilical circulations. PGE2 given to the fetus results in a dissociated response with vasodilation of the uterine circulation and vasoconstriction of the umbillcal circulation. PGE2 given to the mother causes a uterine contraction that precludes specific hemodynamic analysis. Therefore, exposure of either maternal or fetal ovine circulation to exogenous prostaglandins is associated with acute changes in both placental circulations. Similar responses to pertubations in endogenous prostaglandin levels may exist in pregnant sheep.

RANCHO CUCAMONGA — Nearly two decades after the shooting death of a 20-year-old Rancho Cucamonga man, San Bernardino County Sheriff's Cold Case investigators arrested a 35-year-old man with gang ties for his alleged connection to the killing. Authorities believe the shooter may also be involved in another homicide.
Gabriel Ralph Bencomo, 35, of Rancho Cucamonga was apprehended in Riverside Thursday in connection to the killing of Joseph Anthony Anguiano's, according to a news release.
Members of the Cold Case team looked over the case in 2010 and resubmitted DNA samples gathered at the scene 17 years ago, said Deputy District Attorney John Thomas. Thomas is one of the members of the Cold Case team.
"DNA technology has changed and improved so much over the years," noted Thomas. The sample reportedly came back as a match to Bencomo, a man with known gang ties, though it's not clear of the cold case homicide was gang-related, Thomas said.
On Aug. 4, 1996, Anguiano was shot in the front yard of his home in the 8800 block of Hermosa Avenue. He was taken to Loma Linda University Medical Center where he later died.
Records show a blood trail, believed to have belonged to the shooter, was seen leading away from the crime scene.
Detectives followed numerous leads at the time of the killing, but it remained unsolved.
In 2010, sheriff's cold case detectives reopened the case, taking another look into the evidence collected in 1996.
Through DNA evidence, deputies were able to identify Bencomo as a suspect in the slaying, according to the Sheriff's Department.
The investigation, though, did not stop there.
Authorities soon realized Bencomo may have also been involved in another homicide case out of Rancho Cucamonga.
On July 15, 2007 Eliseo Salas was attending a party on London Ave in Rancho Cucamonga when he was shot and killed by an unknown man, according to sheriff's reports.
Investigators Bencomo was involved along with others in Salas' slaying.
Bencomo was booked into West Valley Detention Center in Rancho Cucamonga on suspicion of murder and is being held in lieu of $1 million bail.
In November, Bencomo was convicted of battery of a former spouse and in 2008 he was convicted on charges of fighting in public, according to court records.
Anyone with information on either the Anguiano or the Salas case is asked to contact detectives Jerry Davenport or Ryan Ford at 909-387-3589.

Growing Book Program Gives Rural School Children Access to Textbooks
Thousands of schoolchildren in the northwest region of Cameroon are benefiting from a co-investment schoolbook program established by Knowledge for Children (KFC), a Cameroon-Dutch based non-governmental organization (NGO).
-Despite high enrollment rates, one in two students in Cameroon leaves school without basic literacy skills, a metric that is significantly worse among students without access to textbooks
-In the northwest region of Cameroon, a local development project has made school books available to more than 27,000 children in rural primary schools, which provides the potential to hugely enhance a student's academic performance
-Since 2005, the number of primary school students in the northwest region with access to books has increased from 15% to 25%
"if you think education is expensive, try ignorance" Manjong Sixtus, Delegate for Basic Education, Donga-Mantung
During the 2010 – 2011 academic year, 95 schools participated in the program that has made school books available to children in rural primary schools. But, thanks to a US$20,000 (XAF 10,470.900) grant awarded during the 2011 Development Marketplace competition in Cameroon, KFC has been able to extend the program to 15 new schools during the 2011-2012 academic year, bringing the total number of participating schools to 110 and reaching 27,500 children.

Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
I picked these up mainly because they were on sale, and I liked they way they would have looked in my car versus speakers in the factory setting. The trim color matched well enough, slightly brighter, but then again the plastic in my car is over 15 years old. My main problem was that while the panels themselves fit the car like a glove, the speakers I had would not fit the panels without excessive modification(my speakers were listed as 6 3/4 that fit 6 1/2). Before hacking the panels to bits, I sampled having the speakers in the doors(factory location) and resting where the panels would have been. If there was a difference, I couldn't tell, but the distance between the two locations was less than a foot. I think theses would be a good choice if your car doesn't have speakers even remotely close to the kick panel, or if your selected speakers fit better than mine did.

Wilwood's Big Brake Kit Install - Give Me A Brake
Wilwood's Big Brake Kit Adds Stopping Performance & Racecar Looks
Customizing a truck is a multi- step process. The first step is usually the inexpensive, easy bolt-ons like intakes, grilles, and even a tuner. Next comes the lift or lowering kit and big wheels and tires. Adding these oversized wheels and tires looks good, but the OEM brakes were never meant to be able to handle the extra unsprung weight. Too many people forego upgrading the brakes because of fear of the unknown, cost, or any number of reasons.
Upgrading your brakes shouldn't be a daunting process. That is exactly what Wilwood thought when they came out with their big brake kit for the 1999-to-current GM 1500 pickups and SUVs. The kit is simple to install, returns factory-like stopping performance to big-wheel-equipped trucks, and looks far better than stock. We took a trip to the Wilwood headquarters in Camarillo, California, to catch the install of this kit on a 2011 Chevy Silverado, check it out.
