Obsessive Wrigley Renovation Watch: Alderman Tunney Doesn't Like Playing the Villain (Also: Meeting Details)
With the emergence of an offer to move the Chicago Cubs out of Wrigley Field and a suggestion that the Cubs move the iconic Old Scoreboard to accommodate advertising that doesn't block rooftop views, Alderman Tom Tunney is losing the public relations battle these days – so much so that anonymous political compatriots are coming to his defense.
Already viewed by many as a hard-lining obstructionist in all matters Cubs (but concededly viewed by many in his ward as a guy who legitimately works for their benefit), this very public battle with the Chicago Cubs over the renovation of Wrigley Field and the funding thereof hasn't done much for Tunney's image among Cubs fans. That may not be fair, but politicians tend to care very deeply about one thing in particular: being re-elected. Cubs fans almost certainly aren't the largest voting base in Tunney's ward, but I suspect they do matter.
Perhaps sensing a turning of the public tide, Tunney is working to soothe his image, and remind folks that he's trying to work with the Cubs, not against them.
"These [stories] take on a life of their own," Tunney told the Chicago Tribune of the way he's been portrayed in the negotiations. "I'm upset about the mischaracterizations."
One mischaracterization about which Tunney feels strongly is that he was behind the idea to move the Old Scoreboard to accommodate a JumboTron. He explained to the Tribune that the idea was one of many discussed with Mayoral staffers and Cubs employees, and although he may have originally suggested it at those meetings, it was discarded, and he didn't push for it.
(Interestingly, Serena Dai of DNAinfo writes that the move-the-scoreboard idea actually dates back to community meetings in 2012, at which Tunney and Cubs representatives were present, and at which a resident suggested the idea. Also interesting: Serena notes that there is annual community meeting next Tuesday, March 26, at which renovation issues are sure to be discussed. The meeting – thanks to Serena for the details – is at 6:30pm in the community room at the 19th Police District's headquarters, located at 850 W. Addison, should you live in the area and be inclined to attend. You can see some details on the meeting here. I'll remind folks about the meeting early next week.)
Tunney added that he was "disappointed" with the David Axelrod tweet that painted him as the reason a deal has yet to be completed. Tunney said that he's spoken to Mayor Emanuel, who is close with Axelrod, about the tweet. (That whole dynamic is pretty weird. Yes, Axelrod's firm has previously done work for the Cubs, but you wouldn't think that he would be a political ally of the Ricketts Family to the exclusion of Tunney, a Democrat. His criticism of Tunney didn't do much to help the Cubs, even if that was his intention. I'd love to know who reached out to Axelrod to scold him first – Emanuel or the Cubs?)
For their part, the Cubs denied to the Tribune that they've been orchestrating any of the negative PR against Tunney (by, for example, leaking the scoreboard plan, or asking Axelrod to rip Tunney), but reiterated that the April 1 deadline for having a deal in place (in order to make the construction arrangements need to start work after the season) is very real.

What is the point of some people meeting just later to have it end? I'm talking about when you meet someone you truly care for, open your heart and soul, fall in love, and for what? Just to have it end in pain and sadness?
Why do we meet someone just to have it end? What is the point of it all? How many of you wish could go back in time and stop your self from meeting that someone?
ι ωιℓℓ αℓωαу ℓσνє уσυ му нєαят ♥ αη∂ ѕσυℓ вєℓσηgѕ тσ уσυ ♥♥
guess that won't do , ~ besides the whole process of meeting someone is to know someone or to find the right match for you and the scenario of you breaking up or being left by someone means that certain person or you doesn't like you that much or just end up cheating on you . there are lots of reasons why that certain person might have left . but who knows ~ it all depends on life .
Well I guess part of the adventure to life is meeting new people, which also involves departing from people. As you age people change and so do their priorities, it's just a part of growing up. It's always sad to leave those behind that you care for, but sometimes it is necessary for us to grow as individuals. Take the childhood friend syndrome for instance. You could become friends with someone at the age of 3, but when you say hit 16 your interests change and you stop being friends. Or maybe with a lover priorities change, one may want a family while the other just wants to party.
Would I go back to stop myself from meeting that "special someone", no. You have to take your experiences in life and learn. No matter how painful it can feel at times, we humans are lucky to have the ability to learn from the past. It sucks loosing that "special someone", but do you really want to loose those memories and experiences that you had? I sure don't. I'd rather look back, take notes what went wrong and try to avoid that in the next relationship.
Either way leaving those behind that are important to us can hurt for awhile, but it is instances like those that help us develop as humans and strengthen us for the next round of people that may come our way.
Life, dreams, hope. Where do they come from? And where do they go?
It does seem pretty terrible; sharing your life with someone, then just throwing it away. But perhaps the reason why, is to learn from experiences, or make life more interesting, whether we're aware of it or not.
NEW ACCOUNT: galaxiias
Ask yourself that.
Why do we live if we're just going to die?
The love that occurs with someone else is simply a window to the love that is always there. Something you should always be aware of. Being together with someone can provide spiritual insight, but it should always benefit the self....
This was the first thing that came to mind.
I think the answer to this question is very different for different people. Change is hard, that's for sure...and losing people sucks. The problem is that everything in life is continually changing...sometimes getting better, sometimes getting worse - but it's always changing. Sucks, I know.
Which goes to the idea of friendships/relationships. Are you happier with or without friends? Are you happier with or without a relationship? The answer to those should drive if you go for forming various relationships in your life.
For myself...social needs are very low. I don't need/want a whole lot, and that's okay. The same is true for relationships. I have a handful of friends, some closer than others, and that's okay. I get enough socializing in a day to be "happy enough". Could I be just as happy with less? probably but this is okay. I don't anticipate the people who are my friends now will remain my friends my whole life. Things change, and as others said - priorities change. For a lot of society, that priority tends to be work/family rather than with friends..or that's my perspective, anyways. That part really sucks, from my point of view.

I can't answer this one. After all my failed relationships I don't date anymore. It always ends up me having to break up with them and hurt them or they have to do it to me. So I definitely more relate to this post this time wwe and I don't have an answer for it. But every relationship has taught me on how to be better in my next one so that's a positive. But relationships are still an emotional pain. Don't be like me, though. Relationships are a beautiful thing. I just haven't been able to put myself out there again.
For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
[No information available]
i guess shit happens and people get tired of each other.
For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. . .
Thanks for beating me to that
My former did the same after for numerous months telling me that she needed me until she found others. I've posted about it before, I was very Ill even to the point I was stuck in a medical facility. She never once came back and asked me how I was doing during that period, Her response to that was I forgot about you. Shortly after I found out that she had been cheating on me.
When I confronted her with all of this she just shut me out completely and ended everything and took everything we had used together online. It took me a long while to get over that as I cared for her beyond what I'm capable of expressing. Within the recent weeks, after almost 4 months I have finally started to become more like myself again. I finally decided I will not let what she did or my memories of her hold me back any longer the action I took for that was this. I decided erased everything relating to her and any moments we had together even dating back to the first days we met.
I've managed to find happiness inside myself again after much searching I know you will someday too soon Wwe, you've got a strong will.

I don't know how many Panther fans made the trip to Green Bay. But even if they don't like the game, they can't complain about the atmosphere. The best fans in the NFL fill the bleachers at Lambeau Field and the bars, restaurants and igloos around it.
There are several qualities about Packer fans I admire. They care, and they don't care who knows it. The percentage of G (for Green Bay) stickers to residents is as high in Green Bay as the percentage of G (for Georgia) stickers is in Athens. Maybe Green Bay's percentage is higher after Georgia's loss Saturday to Georgia Tech.
Packer fans don't hate because you come from a different city or cheer for a different team. Although they desperately want their team to win, they also want to have a good time, and they don't mind if you have one, too. At some of the massive sports bars near the stadium, they'll offer you a seat at one of their crowded tables. And as much as they want to talk about their team, they want to ask about yours.
Lambeau, even the retooled edition, is still the rare stadium you don't enter right away. You stand outside, your layers of clothing keeping you warm, and admire it. You think of all that has gone on there. And then you think, and I'm going in.
So Green Bay fans are No. 1. I'd rank Pittsburgh's a clear No. 2. Third? I don't know. There are several contenders, but none of them break from the pack the way fans of the Packers and Steelers do.

I wonder if the lack of response on this thread (and the overwhelming response in "schools with hottest girls) is because people only care about getting booty in school instead of dating someone.

Chris Duffy's Sports Editor's Notebook: The punishment should fit the crimeBy CHRIS DUFFY
Union Leader Sports Editor
August 20. 2017 11:12PM
Catching up on some topics, most notably the fuss involving one very bad decision by a Goffstown Little League baseball coach.
• Little League Baseball needs a tougher penalty to deter coaches from breaking the rules. As it stands, the punishment for a coach who chooses to commit the Little League crime of not using a player in a game is a two-game suspension for the coach — a price Jeff O'Connell was apparently willing to pay.
Had Goffstown rallied to beat South Portland, Maine, and advanced in the New England tournament, and the 13th player still hadn't played — it's possible he could have batted if the game had continued past where it ended — the assistant coaches would have taken over for O'Connell. And tournament all-star teams generally have very capable assistant coaches who can manage a game quite nicely.
Remember, the deed in question here is breaking a rule. The Little League pledge, which is recited by players and coaches before the season and before big games, includes the line, "I will play fair." So the penalty should be harsh.
And if a coach wants to justify not using a player "for the greater good of the team," or some such malarkey, forget about it. The ends do not justify the means.
Plus, aren't the adults supposed to be teaching the children to follow rules?
Little League needs a penalty that takes any consideration of rule-breaking out of the equation. How about suspending the entire league from tournament competition the following season? I doubt any coach would risk that.
• Still on the subject ... Didn't you find that quite uncomfortable when ESPN, otherwise known as the Little League Network, kept its cameras on the Goffstown boy who didn't play?
There's a bit of a gray area in the sports media business when it comes to appropriate coverage of kids. Specifically, we're talking about when a kid makes a big error or strikes out in the crucial situation. Or doesn't get to play in a game and, through no fault of his, becomes a newsworthy figure.
Any of those situations is "news," meaning it's worthy of a mention in a newspaper story. When it comes to LIttle League (mostly 12-year-old boys), though, you may find the player's name omitted ... because he's only 12.
For the high school sports? In our paper, anyway, you'll likely see that player named ... because he/she is probably at least 16. Yes, there's a different standard.
There's no hard and fast rule about these kinds of things, however, and every case is different.
But TV? Well, now that ABC/ESPN has decided that sooo many Little League regional and World Series games are worth airing, we'll see for ourselves the best and worst of everyone. There's no hiding from the cameras, kids.
• Merrimack's Mickey Gasper won a Cape Cod Baseball League championship and a huge award along the way. His Brewster Whitecaps claimed the title by beating Bourne in the finals. Gasper, a catcher, finished the summer at .305 (39-for-128) with five home runs and a team-leading 30 RBIs.
Also, the Bryant College senior-to-be earned the CCBL's John Claffey Award as the top New England prospect. The honor goes to a player who is from New England and/or plays for a New England college or university. A previous winner of the award is Andover, Mass., catcher Ryan Hanigan, formerly of the Red Sox and now with the Colorado Rockies.
Twelve months earlier, Gasper was named the Futures Collegiate Baseball League MVP.
• Southern New Hampshire University's Penmen Stadium is just about ready. The stadium, which will be the home for the university's soccer, lacrosse and field hockey teams, is scheduled to open on Saturday, Oct. 14 with a tripleheader of field hockey, women's and men's soccer, according to Eric Coplin, SNHU's director of athletic communications.
• Two UNH football games will be live-streamed on CBS Sports Digital, it was announced last week. The games are opening night, Thursday, Aug. 31, against Maine, and Saturday, Nov. 18, at Albany. The games are part of a Colonial Athletic Association's partnership and will be available for free on College Sports Live online (collegesportslive.com) and on the College Sports Live mobile app.
• High school sports have arrived. Soccer begins Friday, and we have our eye on the Manchester Central at Bedford boys' game. The schools' girls' teams play Saturday at noon at Gill Stadium.
The Queen City Football Jamboree is Friday, with six scrimmages set for Gill: Trinity's junior varsity vs. West, 3:30 p.m.; Salem vs. Goffstown, 4:30 p.m.; Nashua North vs. Manchester Memorial, 5:30 p.m.; Timberlane vs. Manchester Central, 6:30 p.m.; Londonderry vs. Bedford, 7:30 p.m.; Souhegan vs. Concord, 8:30 p.m.
Football's regular season begins Friday, Sept. 1. Strike up the bands.

Schaumburg woman to attempt world-record stair climb
Schaumburg's Kristin Frey, one of the top-ranked female tower runners in the world, will join three others from across the nation to attempt a new world record in stair climbing next month in Florida.
Frey, 28, has been ranked among the top three female tower runners worldwide since 2010 and has qualified for the Boston Marathon 10 times.
On Jan. 4, she and her teammates will attempt to repeatedly climb the 42 floors of stairs at the Bank of America Tower in Jacksonville to raise money and awareness for the American Lung Association.
Their effort is also intended to promote the "Fight for Air Climb Jacksonville" event on Feb. 2.
The two-man, two-woman team hopes to collectively climb more than 5,000 floors over the 24 hours. Success would mean having climbed more than 100,000 individual stairs -- said to be the equivalent of climbing Mount Everest more than twice.
All members of the team are elite athletes who are known nationally for their stair-climbing prowess. The other members are Mark Trahanovsky, 53, of Yorba Linda, Calif.; PJ Glassey, 46, of Seattle; and Kacie Fischer Cleveland, 27, of Ponte Vedra, Fla.
"We're climbing on behalf of those who can't," Trahanovsky said in a statement. "The majority of the stair climb races in the U.S. are organized by the American Lung Association, and we're so thankful for everything they do!"
Trahanovsky is the creator of the USA Stair Climb Association and ranked among the top 50 stair climbers in the world.
Glassey is ranked among the top 10 U.S. tower climbers and is the owner of X Gyms. Cleveland was among the top 10 female tower runners in the world in 2010 and 2011 and recently broke a world record for inline skating more than 2,800 miles across the U.S.

About Author
Martin Brian Mulroney (born March 20, 1939), PC, CC, GOQ, was the 18th Prime Minister of Canada from September 17, 1984 to June 25, 1993, and was leader of the Progressive Conservative Party of Canada from 1983 to 1993. His tenure as Prime Minister was marked by the introduction of major economic reforms, such as the Canada-U.S. Free Trade Agreement and the Goods and Services Tax, and the rejection of constitutional reforms such as the Meech Lake Accord and the Charlottetown Accord. Prior to his political career, he was a prominent lawyer and businessman in Montreal.
Mulroney was born on March 20, 1939, in Baie-Comeau, Quebec, a remote and isolated town in the eastern part of the province. He is the son of Irish Canadian Catholic parents, Mary Irene (née O'Shea) and Benedict Martin Mulroney, who was a paper mill electrician. Six of the couple's children survived infancy. As there was no English-language Catholic high school in Baie-Comeau, Mulroney completed his high school education at a Roman Catholic boarding school in Chatham, New Brunswick operated by St. Thomas University (in 2001, St. Thomas University named its newest academic building in his honour). Benedict Mulroney worked overtime and ran a repair business to earn extra money for his children's education, and he encouraged his oldest son to attend university.
Mulroney would frequently tell stories about newspaper publisher Robert R. McCormick, whose company had founded Baie-Comeau. Mulroney would sing Irish songs for McCormick, and the publisher would slip him $50. He grew up speaking English and French fluently...

[Produced by Large Professor]
[Chorus: Grand Wizard + Nas]
One time for your mind, one time
Yeah, whatever
One time for your mind, one time
Yo, whatever
One time for your mind, one time
Hey yo, Nas? Kick that fuckin' rhyme!
[Verse 1: Nas]
Check it out, when I'm chilling, I grab the buddha
Get my crew to buy beers
And watch a flick, illin' and root for the villain, huh
Plus every morning, I go out and love it sort of chilly
Then I send a shorty from my block to the store for Phillies
After being blessed by the herb's essence
I'm back to my rest, ten minutes, some odd seconds
That's where I got the honey at, spends the night for sexin'
Keep lubrication, Lifestyle protection
Hitting up my stereo's remote control quickly
Ron G's in the cassette deck, rocking the shit, G
I try to stay mellow, rock, well a cappella rhymes'll
Make me richer than a slipper made Cinderella, fella
Go get your crew, Hobbes, I'm prepared to bomb troops
Y'all niggas was born, I shot my way out my mom dukes
When I was ten I was a hip-hoppin' shorty wop
Known for rocking microphones and twisting off a 40 top
[Chorus: Grand Wizard + Nas]
One time for your mind, one time
Yeah, whatever
One time for your mind, one time
It sounds clever
Hey yo, Nas? Fuck that, man, that shit is phat
But kick that for them gangstas; fuck all that!
Right, right
[Verse 2: Nas]
What up, niggas, how y'all? It's Nasty, the villain
I'm still writing rhymes, but besides that I'm chillin'
I'm tryin' to get this money, God
You know the hard times, kid
Shit, cold, be starving make you wanna do crimes kid
But I'ma lamp, 'cause a crime couldn't beat a rhyme
Niggas catching 3 to 9's, Muslims yelling "Free the mind"
And I'm from Queensbridge, been to many places
As a kid when I would say that out of town, niggas chased us
But now I know the time, got a older mind
Plus control a 9, fine, see now I represent mine
I'm new on the rap scene, brothers never heard of me
Yet I'm a menace, yo, police wanna murder me
Heini Dark drinker, represent the thinker
My pen rides the paper, it even has blinkers
Think I'll dim the lights, then inhale, it stimulates
Floating like I'm on the North 95 Interstate
Never plan to stop, when I write my hand is hot
And expand a lot from the Wiz to Camelot
The parlayer, I'll make your heads bop, pa
I shine a light on perpetrators, like a cop's car
From day to night, I play the mic and you'll thank God
I wreck shit so much, the microphone'll need a paint job
My brain is incarcerated
Live at any jam, I couldn't count all the parks I've raided
I hold a MAC-11, and attack a reverend
I contact eleven L's and max in heaven
[Chorus: Grand Wizard + Nas]
One time for your mind, one time
It sounds clever
One time for your mind, one time
Yeah, whatever
One time for your mind, one time
Yo, from '92 to '99
Yeah, that shit was crazy fat, pa
Know what I'm sayin'?
But check it, you got another verse for me
I want you to kick it, you know what I'm sayin'?
Kick that shit for the projects
This is a slow track when compared to the rest of Illmatic. One might be led to believe that it lightly conflicts with Nas's claim on "N.Y. State of Mind" that he's taking rappers through rap slow.
Rather than contradicting himself it displays his ability to weave in and out of mellow bass lines, exemplifying his lyrical prowess and versatility with the mic.
Large Professor (the producer of the track) says in an interview with HipHopDX:
The beats were cool. They were good backdrops, but just the lyrics and the experience that he was putting down over those beats just it is why that album is heralded the way it is today.
A collection of their collaborations can be viewed here.
Nas told this to XXL about the song:
Nas: Honestly, that song was just like, "Hey, we chilling." That song, I didn't give a fuck— it was just, go in there & have fun. I wanted Wiz's voice on that. Out of everybody around, I thought that he had a voice that can be on a record & come off. I always wanted him to rhyme & shit, & that was my way of pushing him into that shit.

Hello to all you steeler brothers...
I am planing a trip with some friends to go watch a Steeler game this year. Planing on arriving Friday night and leaving Monday morning.
This will be our first NFL experience. We want to tailgate before the game, but we don't know how it works. Also we want to get tickets in a section where we can chant and have fun all game.
Any suggestions and tips would be greatly appreciated.
Steeler fan for life

ASUS GTX580 MATRIX Review
ASUS has been creating some major waves across the board in the mobile space — first taking the market by storm with its EeePad Transformer series Android tablet, then quickly following it up with a slider model and the newly revealed Padfone. Despite the success of the mobile unit, the desktop parts have not missed a beat, with the company tearing through its release schedule release after release. NVIDIA's GTX500 series has been well received in the market by both performance junkies and tweakers alike with its overclock ability. ASUS now maximizes this ability by potently combining one of these chips with state of the art support components in its newest release, the Matrix GTX580 Platinum. You may recognize the Matrix tag, as there have been a few other cards released under the same tagline, namely the GTX260 and GTX285 back in 2009, which scored an Editors' Choice and a Gold award from OCC, respectively. ASUS states that the Matrix series is designed to be the ultimate in graphics performance while providing superior cooling, tweaking, monitoring, and overclocking. Those two cards performed admirably and it looks like, on paper, ASUS has lined this new model to push the upper echelon of performance once more. With the Matrix GTX580, ASUS has prepared two SKUs: the 'standard' Matrix GTX580 and the review card I am testing today, the Matrix GTX580 Platinum, which features all the abilities of the first card, but adds on a premium, hand-picked GPU factory-overclocked to 816MHz. Both models share TweakIt voltage modding, direct on-PCB ProbeIt voltage monitoring and Mod-Zone hardware volt modding, a Safe Mode button comparable to a clear CMOS button, a brand new GPU Tweak utility that is a special Republic of Gamers release to allow for superior control of the card, a 19-phase Super Allow Power technology power system to maximize the new software and high performance GPU, a DirectCU II Matrix edition cooler to chill the premium GPU, and a Matrix LED lead indicator to top it off. Yes, this new card from ASUS packs some super-premium features on paper, but does it actually deliver? $530 is a steep asking price, so let's see if it's actually worth it!
Closer Look:
Republic of Gamers packaging is stock awesome for ASUS. They've been using the red flame motif design since mid-2009 when the ROG Rampage II GENE passed through our halls and have released most every ROG product since then with the same styling. For those who aren't familiar with the ROG look, the retail box is a deep red matte finish with MATRIX GTX580 Platinum plastered across the front in aggressive pearlescent lettering with the ROG logo adorning the top left corner and ASUS in the bottom right with a very contemporary red flame motif shooting out. As with an exhaustive list of previous ROG units, the front panel opens up to reveal an additional flap, packed with information and features, as well as teasing the card itself on the bottom section.
Flipping over to the back of the box is a basic specification listing with accessories and minimum system requirements running the center column, with four pictures highlighting TweakIt, the GPU Tweak OC tool, the card's 19 phase Super Alloy Power system, and the DirectCU II cooling inclusion along the left side.
I opened up the box to reveal inner packaging that closely resembles the boxes used in ROG motherboards, such as the recently reviewed Crosshair V Formula motherboard. The large box contains the graphics card, while the smaller box opens from the center to reveal the accessory bundle included with the card. In this case, I am provided with a SpeedSetup guide, a DVI to VGA adapter, an extended SLI cable to reach over the massive cooler to another card, a driver CD, two dual 6-pin to 8-pin power connections to ensure the card will have enough power (the card requires TWO 8-Pin PCI-E power connections), and a very high quality metal case badge that is classy in its own right, able to fit on any case, from gaudy to minimalistic, and draw looks. The badge is a matte black with ridged red extrusions.
Now don't get me wrong, I really do like the ROG styling because it feels refined, elite, and aggressive all at once — it's perfect. That being said, I just can't wait to see its next iteration of packaging design to see what three years and countless reference iterations can do, as the jump from the last design to this one was epic. If you feel differently, of course, let me know in the comments and let me hear your opinions! On to the graphics card itself.

Tarquinius's son has gone to the Gabinos as a spy:
Benīgnē ā Gabīnīs exceptus paulātim eōrum benevolentiam cōnsequitur, fictīs blanditiīs ita eōs adliciēns, ut apud omnēs plūrimum posset, et ad postrēmum dux bellī ēligerētur.
Kindly welcomed by the Gabini, gradually he cultivated their goodwill by empty flattery, till he had attracted them so much that among them he would be able to something, and finally would be elected to run the army.
I don't quite get plūrimum posset. I'm assuming that esse has been left out, but I still don't get it. He would be able to be most? What does 'plūrimum' mean here?
So, realising that my dictionary was perhaps lacking I went out and bought a brand new Chambers Murray, hoping for better luck. So, in this expensive new dictionary I find - by the way, the rant has started - plūrimum. Good start. Near the end I see plūrimum as noun with partit gen. [...] qui apud me dignitate plurimum possent! Yes! just the word I'm looking for, and in a similar phrase! But wait! No translation! So now there are two phrases I don't understand. F! Thanks very much C & M. And this is where the rant really gets going. You may wish to look away. Did it occur to the people who write these dictionaries, did the merest thought even begin to speculate upon the possibility of crossing their minds, that people use fing dictionaries to find the fing English meaning of a words, not just to fing see them quoted by fing Latin authors. Do they think the purpose of a dictionary is to show how fing erudite the compilers are? Oh look, aren't we clever, look how many times we've found this word while we've been reading. Yes, we'll show you the word, we know what it means, but explain what it means to you? Oh, no. that's far beneath our dignity. We'll just sit here in our big comfy armchairs drinking our port, laughing at all the little people who aren't as clever as us.
I feel a lot better now. Still wish I hadn't bought that dictionary.

After BlackBerry announced it would allow organizations using BlackBerry Enterprise Service 10 to create Secure Work Spaces on Android and iOS devices, people have been speculating what this might mean for BlackBerry's hold on the government smart-phone market. Even though many agencies, such as the Homeland Security Department's U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, are implementing pilot programs for BlackBerry, many are convinced that there is nothing BlackBerry can do to reverse the trend of more users adopting other devices for government use.
BlackBerry's answer is the Z10. This newest offering from BlackBerry shows exactly what the new BlackBerry 10 operating system can do. The device measures 5.12 inches by 2.58 inches by 0.35 inches and weighs under 5 ounces, making it one of the lightest and smallest BlackBerry devices.
The 4.2-inch touch display is roomy enough and responsive to swipe commands. The display is bright; everything displays clearly from practically any angle, and the only time it wasn't bright enough to see was in direct sunlight. The two dedicated hardware buttons were for volume and a lock button that also functioned as the power switch. In addition to the micro-USD port for computer interface, the Z10 has a micro HDMI port to display onto a monitor or projector, one of the few smart phones with this feature.
The 1.5 GHz dual core processor, 2G RAM and 16G flash memory did a good job keeping things moving without freezing up or hanging. Downloads via the Verizon network went smoothly and at expected transfer rates. BlackBerry 10 allows up to eight apps to run at once, which is a welcome feature in a mobile operating system. Switching between them is just a matter of swiping from the bottom of the screen and clicking on the desired app.
The BlackBerry Hub keeps all of a BlackBerry 10 user's alerts and messages in one place – to the left of every navigation screen – and is accessed by a swipe up and right from the screen. Actually, when starting the upwards swipe, the user can see a count of the types of alerts received. The Hub lists e-mail, messaging and other alerts, and one touch lets users compose new messages from there.
One feature of likely interest to government users — and network administrators— is BlackBerry Balance. When connected to a BlackBerry Enterprise Server (BES), a user can switch between work and personal apps and data with a single downward swipe and a touch. It does a good job of keeping apps and data separate, and programs such as BlackBerry World will only show apps that administrators have approved. This secure container function would be a good addition to any agency's mobile management solution, but it only works with BES. Many dedicated BlackBerry users lament this necessity, but since BES is a relatively inexpensive management platform now — which can accommodate Android and iOS devices — it seems worthy of admins' consideration.
Security has always been a top priority for BlackBerry, and what the company puts into the Z10 reflects that. The built-in BlackBerry Protect app will help users find their Z10s and protect it if it ends up lost or stolen. This security is simple to set up: create a BlackBerry ID and register the Z10 with it. Then go to the Protect website and log in. The site will identify the particular Z10 registered and display a few options. Selecting View Location shows a map view of the device's location. If the Z10 is misplaced within a house or office, the Play Sound function, will help owners find the device. If the phone has been stolen, users can lock or even wipe the device. The great part about this feature is it works even without a BES watching over it.
The BlackBerry Z10 retails for around $700 when purchased unactivated. Most carriers, like Verizon, offer it for $200 with a 2-year agreement. This is a good price for a full-function smart phone that is able to have so many apps open at the same time.
The Z10 and its BlackBerry 10 OS have a lot going for it, and existing BlackBerry users will take to it quickly.

What about it does not work with our current Blackberry servers?
Our federal agency went to the iPhone 4s recently which is a loser with GOOD Enterprise for business use. I would go back to the Blackberry in a flash. The Blackberry excels as a work smartphone and the iPhone fails badly in my humble opinion. Being a real keyboard junkie I opt for the Q10 ASAP. Very impressed with Blackberry 10's.
Not a bad little toy, but it still has some maturity issues (aka bugs) - no more'n any other first market entry though. The Kitchen Boss is still hopin' gen two'll be a bit less skittery for her.
Wow. This is more than enough features to make me give the BlackBerry platform a second look. I was thinking about jumping ship, but perhaps I just need to upgrade to the Z10.

CagePotato Roundtable #12: Who's the Baddest Motherf*cker of All Time?
Friends, Romans, countrymen, welcome to the most star-studded — and foolishly ambitious — CagePotato Roundtable in history. This week's topic is "Who's the Baddest Motherfucker of All Time?" and we have two very, very special guests to help us out. They are…
- Ben Fowlkes, the former CagePotato senior editor who abandoned us in April 2010 and has been writing incredible features for MMAFighting.com ever since. Last month, he and fellow CP veteran Chad Dundas launched a hilarious and thought-provoking weekly MMA podcast called The Co-Main Event.

- Jason Ellis, the professional skateboarder, author, MMA fighter, truck racer, boxer, singer, and actor who hosts The Jason Ellis Show on weekday afternoons on Sirius XM Radio's Faction channel. Jason's best-selling autobiography — the appropriately titled I'm Awesome — details his triumph over drugs, personal tragedy, and being Australian, en route to becoming "the new voice of action sports in America"? Go buy it.
I'm sure some of you have already passed out from shock and excitement. As for the rest of you, pack a canteen and follow us into the abyss. Warning: It's gonna get weird…
You want to talk old school badasses? I mean really, really old school? Like pre-Rickson Gracie old school? Look no further than Julius Caesar, son. Right about now you're all like, 'Who, dude with the cheap pizzas?' First of all, that's Little Caesar's, which sucks. Second of all, shut up.

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — An Oregon terrorism suspect allegedly waited just 12 minutes to tell a man he thought was an al-Qaida recruiter that he wanted to detonate a bomb in the U.S.
The purported recruiter was an undercover FBI agent in his first meeting with 21-year-old Mohamed Mohamud. The agent testified Monday under the pseudonym "Youssef" to a courtroom cleared of the public and media, who were allowed to watch a closed-circuit feed that didn't show his face.
It was the fourth day of Mohamud's trial on terrorism charges.
"I asked him what he's willing to do," the agent said. "He says he wants to wage war inside the U.S."
According to the agent's testimony, Mohamud wasted little time in spelling out his intentions, describing a plot similar to the one he is accused of attempting to carry out: a truck bomb parked near a public place, detonated from afar. The conversation wasn't recorded because of a failed recorder battery, the agent said.
The details of Mohamud's thinking in the early days of the investigation are key to both the prosecution and defense. If government attorneys can convince the jury that Mohamud was predisposed to committing terrorism before their agents intervened, they stand a better chance against Mohamud's defense that he was entrapped.
Mohamud is accused of trying to blow up a November 2010 Portland Christmas tree-lighting ceremony. A set of six 55-gallon drums that he thought was a bomb was in fact a dummy device provided by the undercover agents, according to authorities.
The entrapment defense rests on the theory that Mohamud was persuaded to commit the crime, led into it by agents who gave him the idea and the means to carry it out. Entrapment defenses have failed in other, similar terrorism-sting operations.
"Youssef" testified that he was born in an Arabic-speaking country and came to the U.S. when he was 16. He was a business analyst and a software engineer before he joined the FBI eight years ago.
For nearly all of that time, he has served as an undercover agent in four face-to-face operations and more than a dozen online operations. He is now based in San Francisco, but came to Portland for the Mohamud operation.
Even after their initial meeting on July 30, 2010, in which Mohamud allegedly professed a desire to detonate a bomb, the agent said he wasn't convinced of Mohamud's sincerity.
"At this point, I still don't believe he's going to move forward with anything," the agent testified. "I figured it was all talk."
Government prosecutors noted the failed recorder battery, but showed surveillance photos of Mohamud and the man they said was "Youssef," his face in the picture obscured by a gray box.
Led by a prosecutor's questions, the agent went to some length to establish that he came into the operation without preconceived notions of Mohamud's guilt, and repeated that he was unsure about Mohamud's resolve. His testimony is expected to continue Tuesday.
Before the trial adjourned for the day, the jury saw a 15-minute surveillance video that documented Mohamud's first contact with "Hussein," who he thought was an al-Qaida explosives expert but who was in fact another undercover agent.
The two agents brought Mohamud food, which he hungrily dug into with his hands, while hearing him out on his personal frustrations with his parents. Mohamud said in the video that his mother doesn't believe in the radical elements of Islam, and his father "betrayed" him when he conveyed his worries to the FBI.
Mohamud's father called the FBI in 2009 after Mohamud said he wanted to travel to Yemen, a hotspot for al-Qaida training camps.
Earlier Monday, FBI agent Miltiadis Trousas, who led the electronic side of the operation against the 21-year-old Somali-American, testified that Mohamud showed a persistent eagerness to contact a man he thought was an al-Qaida recruiter in Yemen.
"(Pray) that I will be a martyr in the highest chambers of paradise," Mohamud wrote to a friend in an email quoted by Trousas. Mohamud already was under surveillance because of his emails to an American-born al-Qaida recruiter.
"He's talking about martyrdom here," Trousas said.
"And why did that concern you?" asked Assistant U.S. Attorney Ethan Knight.
"He might be doing something that would endanger people," Trousas replied.
Trousas said other communication by Mohamud convinced the bureau that he was "already radicalized and dangerous."

Organic Vegetables
William Bartram's 1776 account of the Cuscowilla Indian village onthe south edge of Payne's Prairie, near present day Micanopy,describes a society that lived in balance with their environment(Figure 1). He published Travels through North and South Carolina, Georgia, East and West Florida in 1791. In it he described how they produced their food, saying:
"They plant but little here about the town; only a small garden plot at each habitation, consisting of a little Corn, Beans, Tobacco, Citrus (and more). Their plantation, which supplies them with the chief of their vegetable provisions, lies on the rich prolific lands bordering on the great Alachua savannah, about two miles distance".
There were no synthetic fertilizers or pesticides. These savvy farmers grew crops organically. They took the time to understand their environment, and probably understood that their precious crop could be wiped out by insects or weed competition. Imagine these early farmers, moving through production areas; aware of every nuance regarding how various plants and insects interact. It is not a far stretch of the imagination. In fact, these farmers knew certain insects ate the crops while others ate insects. Today, these insects are referred to as being either "pests" or "beneficials". In fact, nowadays you can purchase "good bugs" to eat the "bad" bugs on your crop!
During the 19th century, the demands of population growth on food supply were met with new technologies including mechanized farming, chemical pesticides, commercial fertilizers and vigorous plant breeding programs. These methods made it possible to grow more food per acre than ever before. However, rising fuel costs and increased competition for once abundant natural resources like water motivate University of Florida/IFAS researchers to constantly look for ways to produce crops more efficiently while preserving theenvironment for many generations to come.
Today, organic production is a combination of new technology and traditional methods. As a result of recent research, there are many new tools for organic farmers to use including soil analysis, plant nutrient monitoring and integrated pest management systems. Additionally, there are many new commercial organic fertilizers and pesticide products on the market which have made organic farming more user-friendly than ever.
Consumers are showing their support for this method of production at the market. Demand for organic produce has increased 20% a year on average since 1990. This has resulted in higher profit potential for organic producers. For more information about organic vegetable production, please see the resources listed here or contact your local UF-IFAS County Extension office.

Examiner: "Since the project stopped being supported many have been clamoring for Microsoft to return to the realm of game shows on Xbox Live just like it did with its highly experimental 1 Vs. 100. Today, a Twitter user asked , Corporate Vice President of Microsoft Game Studios, Phil Spencer whether we'll ever see the something similar return to the companies portfolio and the answer might surprise you."
Yes please. 1 Vs. 100 was great fun and I'd love to see something similar on Xbox One.
1 vs 100 was pretty sick. Why'd they get away from it?
Another thing they could do is make existing game shows interactive. Let the veiwer guess along with the contestants of jeopardy for example.
They need to bring 1 vs 100 back also. Promote the hell out of it. I think it was one of the great ideas of this generation for a game like that. It actually required the community to participate to make it great.
I'd love if they did another 1 vs 100 game, I just hope they release the game out-side the US because last time I had to make a US account to play. That game was so beast!

The chain saw buzzed, then a rifle-shot crack and a giant branch thudded onto a snow-covered field - the end had come for an ancient tree.
SANDWICH — The chain saw buzzed, then a rifle-shot crack and a giant branch thudded onto a snow-covered field. The end had come for the old tree.
A sad business, but a silver lining. That sums up the fate of the dead 250-year-old European beech at Heritage Museums & Gardens.
"We are going to save the bottom 20 feet or so of the trunk and have that carved," Les Lutz, Heritage's director of horticulture, said on Tuesday as the dismantling began. "Every other part of the tree is going to be recycled or reused in some way."
Some of the wood will end up as cutting boards and boxes to be sold at Heritage's museum store. A couple of 8-foot chunks will be turned into a wooden train play space at a Norwell nature center. Parts of the behemoth also are headed for Hidden Hollow, Heritage's outdoor nature classroom, as teaching tools. Woodchips and firewood will be harvested from the tree, as well.
"If you've got to take down a tree that's over 250 years old, at least you're making the best of it," said Ashleigh Slyker, Heritage's director of marketing.
But before the woody recycle-fest could begin, the beech with a 22-foot trunk circumference had to come down.
That's where the precision tree guys came in, high up in the branches, casually dangling from ropes, wielding chain saws like surgeons.
There would be no "Timber!" moment here.
"It would've been great to make one cut at the base and let it fall," said Jim Holmes, owner of Cape Cod Tree Experts. "But we'd all be in big trouble then, so we've got to get up, rig it out and take it out one piece at a time."
Holmes estimated the job could take three days. Branches of the 120-foot-tall beech were removed from the bottom up, with care not to fell them onto other plants, including some splendid rhododendrons, located under the tree.
"If you make the correct directional cut, you can steer a limb almost," Holmes said.
What does it take to be a good tree worker?
"It's experience," Holmes said. "The first time you get up in a tree usually you're scared, but after 15 to 20 years of doing it, it's like walking down the street."
But remember this, aspiring tree professionals: "You got to love it or you're in the wrong profession," Holmes said. "It'll kill you if you're not into it."

An ancient order of Force-wielders devoted to the dark side, the Sith practice hate, deception, and greed. Notable for their red-bladed lightsabers, black dress, and use of their aggressive feelings, the Sith look to amass power at all costs. The evil Darth Sidious, along with his apprentice Darth Vader, achieved the Sith goal of galactic conquest after a millennia of plotting.
History //
The Sith remained a distant memory -- until the rise of Darth Sidious and his apprentice, Darth Maul, in the last days of the Republic. Sidious hid in plain sight as the unassuming Senator Palpatine of Naboo, while secretly orchestrating the Trade Federation's invasion of the planet. This allowed him to make a play for the galaxy's highest office in his civilian persona and sow the seeds of Sith revenge. Maul attacked Queen Amidala of the Naboo and later killed Jedi Qui-Gon Jinn, but fell to Obi-Wan Kenobi. Despite this setback, the Sith had returned, clouding the Force with the power of the dark side. And the arrival of Anakin Skywalker, a young boy especially strong with the Force, offered a potential new recruit for the Sith.
With the loss of Darth Maul, Darth Sidious took on a new apprentice: Count Dooku, former Jedi. Adopting the Sith name Darth Tyranus, Dooku became the face of the Separatist movement and pushed the galaxy into war. As a result, the Jedi became generals and compromised their ideals, which is exactly what Sidious wanted.
The Sith continued to plunge the galaxy into darkness with the Clone Wars. Jedi, once peacekeepers, were now generals and warriors -- a development that was all part of the Sith plot. Planets were ravaged and distrust and corruption became commonplace.
During this time, Count Dooku took on an apprentice of his own called Asajj Ventress. She became his personal assassin and weapon, engaging Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Ahsoka Tano on numerous occasions. While loyal, she was ultimately betrayed by her Master on the orders of Darth Sidious. Ventress sought revenge using Savage Opress, a hulking Sith apprentice, but failed to kill Dooku.
Though Opress would turn on Ventress, his journey was not over. The Zabrak found that his brother, Darth Maul, had not been killed as previously believed. Maul, though driven into madness, survived his injuries on Naboo, and Opress turned to Mother Talzin to restore the once deadly Sith. Gifted new mechanical legs and clear mind, Maul was back and obsessed with enacting revenge on Kenobi. He would have it, killing the Jedi's former love, and made his own play for power by taking over Mandalore. Maul incurred the wrath of his former Master; Darth Sidious killed Opress and took his old apprentice captive in an elaborate Sith gambit to settle a longstanding and deadly dispute with the Nightsisters.
To the surprise of Darth Sidious, Yoda visited Moraband, the Sith homeworld. The Jedi Master encountered an illusory spectre of the ancient Sith Darth Bane, who was buried on the barren planet, and battled Sidious on a spiritual plane as a result of an ancient, arcane Sith ritual. Through his experience, Yoda gained a new enlightenment about the Force that the Sith did not foresee.
After three years of the Clone Wars, Darth Sidious' grand scheme was almost complete. He sacrificed Count Dooku to a violent killing by Anakin Skywalker -- a necessary loss in order to manipulate the young Jedi. As Palpatine, he told Anakin a "Sith legend" about Darth Plagueis. Plagueis, through the dark side, had gained the ability to keep people from dying -- until, ironically, his apprentice killed him in his sleep. This story entranced Anakin, who was desperate to learn this power in an effort to save his wife, Padmé Amidala. Eventually, Palpatine revealed himself as Sidious, and converted Anakin with this temptation.
With Anakin now a Sith called Darth Vader, Sidious enacted his masterstroke. He executed Order 66, the slaughter of all Jedi, with Vader leading the assault. In the political arena, he reorganized the Republic into the Galactic Empire, installing himself as Emperor. Once more, the Sith ruled the galaxy, unbeknownst to all but the few surviving Jedi.
Unchallenged for a generation, the Sith faced a new enemy: Luke Skywalker, Jedi Knight. The Emperor feared that the young Jedi would destroy him, and sought to turn Luke to the dark side. In a final confrontation on Death Star II, Sidious goaded Luke into a violent attack on his father, Darth Vader; by using his hatred, the boy would embrace the power of the dark side, kill his father, and take Vader's place as the Emperor's enforcer. Luke ultimately resisted this temptation -- much to the anger of Sidious. The Sith unleashed a torrent of Force lightning upon the Jedi, determined to destroy him for this outrage. Vader, however, turned on his Master. The good in him awakened by his son's love, Vader saved Luke and threw the Emperor down a deep chasm. The tyranny of the Sith was over, and a new age dawned.

Emperor Palpatine / Darth Sidious
Scheming, powerful, and evil to the core, Darth Sidious restored the Sith and destroyed the Jedi Order. Living a double life, Sidious was in fact Palpatine, a Naboo Senator and phantom menace. He slowly manipulated the political system of the Galactic Republic until he was named Supreme Chancellor -- and eventually Emperor -- ruling the galaxy through fear and tyranny.
Darth Vader
Once a heroic Jedi Knight, Darth Vader was seduced by the dark side of the Force, became a Sith Lord, and led the Empire's eradication of the Jedi Order. He remained in service of the Emperor -- the evil Darth Sidious -- for decades, enforcing his Master's will and seeking to crush the fledgling Rebel Alliance. But there was still good in him…
Darth Maul
A deadly, agile Sith Lord trained by the evil Darth Sidious, Darth Maul was a formidable warrior and scheming mastermind. He wielded an intimidating double-bladed lightsaber and fought with a menacing ferocity. Though he fell in battle against Obi-Wan Kenobi, the Zabrak from Dathomir would prove to be much harder to destroy than originally believed.
Count Dooku
Count Dooku was a menacing Sith Lord and central figure in the Clone Wars. Once a Jedi -- trained by Yoda -- he became disillusioned with the Jedi Order and thirsted for greater power. Dooku voluntarily left the light side behind and became Darth Sidious' dark side disciple, taking the secret name Darth Tyranus and leading the Separatist army. Dooku advanced Sidious's secret plot to take over the galaxy, but forgot that betrayal is the nature of the Sith.
Savage Opress
Savage Opress was once a common Nightbrother whose fighting prowess impressed Asajj Ventress. Transformed into a monstrous warrior by Mother Talzin, Opress became Count Dooku's new assassin and secret Sith apprentice. His loyalty, however, remained to Talzin. The Nightsisters leader gave Savage a new quest: to find his brother, Darth Maul, who had somehow survived his apparent death and was living in exile in the Outer Rim. Savage located Maul and became his brother's enforcer in the Shadow Collective, but died when Darth Sidious confronted the two Sith warriors on Mandalore.

I was surprised to learn recently that MySpace has been developing an Outlook plug-in. This is the same MySpace that has all but lost the social networking wars to Facebook and Twitter, and the same MySpace that often found itself near the top of many Worst Websites lists over the years (i.e., worst site PCWorld, 2006 http://www.pcworld.com/article/127116-7/the_25_worst_web_sites.html and fourth-worst site Time.com 2007 http://www.time.com/time/specials/2007/article/0,28804,1638344_1638341_1638339,00.html). But MySpace is not dead yet. The latest revamp of MySpace.com was implemented in March 2010, and they've added games and application access to compete with Facebook. The MySpace.com website still leaves a lot to be desired, but what if you could benefit from MySpace without having to use its website? Though most have fled in favor of Facebook and/or Twitter, many people and even small businesses still use MySpace. MySpace makes it easy to display media files, audio and video, and remains a marketing tool for musicians to share their work or demos.
There are many applications that use the MySpace APIs to access and manipulate MySpace content, including mobile apps (like MySpace for Blackberry) and workstation apps (like TweetDeck and Hootsuite). MySpace has produced an Outlook plug-in to integrate MySpace into the Outlook UI. The plug-in, while still in beta, works with Outlook 2010, as well as Outlook 2003 and 2007 when certain prerequisites are met. You can download the plug-in here: http://www.myspace.com/msoutlook. I used beta version 184.108.40.206 dated March 8, 2010.
Outlook 2010 adds a social media connector, called Outlook Social Connector (OSC) to integrate contact and status information from other social networks into Outlook. In Outlook 2010, MySpace for Outlook uses the new OSC to provide images and updates from contacts and senders who are also friends in MySpace. If you're installing the MySpace for Outlook plug-in for Outlook 2003 or 2007, you must first install the OSC.
The OSC beta installation brings the OSC functionality found in Outlook 2010 to Outlook 2007 and Outlook 2003 and is available at the Microsoft Download center (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=c87e257c-d76f-4785-a09b-af36babd6e32&displaylang=en ).
Outlook 2003 will also require Windows Desktop Search (http://www.microsoft.com/windows/products/winfamily/desktopsearch/getitnow.mspx ). MySpace for Outlook on Outlook 2003 also requires Windows Desktop Search (http://www.microsoft.com/windows/products/winfamily/desktopsearch/getitnow.mspx ).
The MySpace for Outlook plug-in is a separate small installation which must be run with the outlook.exe process closed. The simple installation implements a .dll called MySpaceOSC.dll and adds an uninstall option to the Start Menu. MySpace for Outlook doesn't appear in the Outlook Add-ins list in Outlook because it is an extension of the OSC. After you install MySpace for Outlook, when you first run Outlook you are presented with a window to input your MySpace credentials and add MySpace to the OSC aggregation as shown in Figure 1. MySpace for Outlook doesn't have a major impact on the Outlook UI. Indeed, if you didn't know where to look, you might not even notice the new Contacts folder created for MySpace contacts as shown in Figure 2. The MySpace contacts provide a more direct way to send messages to those MySpace profiles. You can send email messages to friends with @myspace.com addresses directly using normal Outlook email.
MySpace for Outlook polls MySpace.com for changes shortly after Outlook is started and at regular intervals. There is no setting within Outlook to control the polling frequency, and I was unable to reveal an option in the registry to configure this setting. When a friend is added in MySpace, the contact is created in Outlook at the next synchronization with MySpace. There is minimal impact on mailbox storage because the plug-in only synchronizes the main MySpace profile photo, creates a contact in the mailbox, and adds status updates at regular intervals. If a MySpace friend adds videos or photos, only a text status update is downloaded into Outlook, not the actual multimedia. Figure 3 shows a contact with Status Updates and other activities showing at the bottom of the image. The picture for this contact was retrieved from MySpace by the OSC and MySpace for Outlook. Clicking on a friend's MySpace status in the OSC will launch the default browser, opening MySpace to that status update. The synchronization is one direction only. There is no option to upload content to your MySpace account.
Documentation for this plug-in is still weak and it is unclear how much new functionality can be expected from this plug-in in the future, though there seem to be opportunities (see Figure 4). I am not sure that MySpace will make a full resurgence; however, steadfast MySpace users who also use Microsoft Outlook may benefit from single interface access through Outlook.

DVI expertise in the field
Since 2004, a total of 17 disaster victim identification (DVI) teams have been deployed to disasters across the world. Some examples are below.
Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines
In November 2013, an INTERPOL DVI team supported authorities in the Philippines following Super Typhoon Haiyan which left nearly 7,000 people dead or missing.
The team worked with Philippine authorities and other international experts to develop a structured DVI network in order to avoid duplication of DVI efforts. Strategic and practical challenges included the need for temporary mortuary sites equipped with refrigerated containers and mobile forensic laboratories and work facilities.
Plane crash in Namibia
DVI teams are able to coordinate identification efforts on an international level, which is crucial in cases involving victims from multiple countries. For example, in November 2013, a plane crash in Namibia caused the death of 33 passengers and crew members from six different countries. An INTERPOL DVI Team was deployed to Windhoek to conduct DVI operations together with Namibian authorities.
Westgate Mall terrorist attacks in Kenya
Following a high-profile terrorist attack at the Westgate Mall in Nairobi, Kenya (September 2013), in which more than 60 people were killed and some 175 others wounded, an INTERPOL DVI Team assisted Kenyan authorities with crime scene processing and the identification of victims. Specialists carried out real-time comparisons against INTERPOL's global databases on DNA and fingerprints and other evidence gathered from the crime scene. Read more in the media release.
Plane crashes in the Congo
In December 2012, following the crash of a cargo plane a few hundred metres from Brazzaville airport which killed at least 30 people, an INTERPOL team was deployed to assist and advise the Scientific Police of the Congo with regard to DVI procedure.
Following a plane crash which killed 23 people in March 2011, an INTERPOL team was dispatched to Pointe-Noire in the Republic of the Congo, to lend its expertise in the area of DVI.
Terrorist attacks in Uganda
In July 2010, an INTERPOL Response Team was sent to Kampala, Uganda, following bombing attacks on a restaurant and social club during the final match of the FIFA World Cup. The attacks left more than 70 people dead and at least 70 others seriously injured. DVI experts played a central role on the ground, supporting the work of national authorities with their identification efforts. In addition, two Black Notices featuring reconstructed photographs of the suspected suicide bombers were issued and an Orange Notice was published to inform law enforcement authorities worldwide of the modus operandi used by the terrorists.
AF447 air tragedy
An INTERPOL Incident Response Team (IRT) assisted the Brazilian and French police in identifying the victims of the Air France AF447 plane tragedy in June 2009, in which 228 people from 32 countries lost their lives. The IRT acted as a liaison point in collecting ante-mortem data (such as dental and medical records, fingerprints and DNA from the victims' homes or family member) and assisted experts leading the operation to collect post-mortem data from the remains of the recovered victims. The international coordinated effort led to the identification of all 50 recovered victims.
Ferry disaster in the Philippines
Some 1,000 people perished during Typhoon Frank in the Philippines in June 2008, with more than 800 victims from the capsized ferry the Princess of the Stars alone. Eight days later, an INTERPOL Incident Response Team arrived in Cebu City to support the local authorities in identifying the victims.
Comprising DNA and Disaster Victim Identification (DVI) experts and a representative from the International Commission on Missing Persons (ICMP), the team played a central role on the ground in supporting the work of the Philippines National Bureau of Investigation in their ongoing DVI efforts.
The IRT showed INTERPOL's capacity to support a country in a long-term, large-scale specialized operation. Practical requirements included:
- Refrigerated containers to preserve the bodies with dignity;
- Mobile forensic labs for swift and efficient DNA analysis;
- Victim Identification Information Centre for grieving relatives and friends;
- Close cooperation with the ICMP in Sarajevo, which has expertise in large-scale victim identification and the most up-to-date DNA matching techniques.
More than 3,000 DNA samples were collected from victims and from their relatives. Of the 609 bodies recovered from the vessels, 483 were identified using DNA analysis and other traditional methods such as examination of fingerprints and dental records.

As a World Studies and Current World Issues teacher at East Stroudsburg High School South, Maury Molin got a firsthand experience by visiting seven continents and 70 countries.
As a World Studies and Current World Issues teacher at East Stroudsburg High School South, Maury Molin got a firsthand experience by visiting seven continents and 70 countries.
"If I was going to be a good teacher," he explained, "I wanted to know the places I was teaching about. It gave me credibility with the kids when I could say, 'I saw this when I was in Kenya, or that when I was in China.'"
As the curriculum evolved, his travels coincided. When the focus was on Latin America, he headed south. When course work featured Asian studies, he was off to exotic locales. It was this kind of dedication and desire to make his lessons relevant for his students that made him a most beloved teacher for more than 35 years.
Two of the Class of 2015 Officers, Elli Ligouri and Mathew Cavanaugh, organized a surprise retirement party for Molin. "Colin Fish was another of the main organizers, too," Molin added. "I can't forget him; I even taught his father and aunt." More than 60 students attended the emotional celebration. The students had tee shirts made with "Molinisms" printed on the back. "The kids took 6 of my typical sayings from class like: 'Good? Better? Indifferent?,' 'Giddy up,' and 'Feed me, I'm hungry.'" Molin said. "I taught them that revolutions were caused by a hunger for something — religious freedom, freedom from tyranny and things like that," Molin explained.
When asked why he thought he was such a popular teacher, Molin answered, "I think it's for three major reasons: dedication, consistency and genuine interest in my students." Molin often arrived at school at 5:30 a.m. He was organized with his plans, notes and videos and was ready to go at the bell. "Teaching was never really a job for me," Molin said. "Oh, sure, grading papers was no fun. But the rest of it was my passion, my joy. Teaching lit a fire in me."
From August through June, teaching consumed his time. He was regarded as a teacher who showed no favoritism; what applied to one, applied to all.
"I set the bar high, but always with the possibility of success. At the end of the school year, and sometimes years later, my students would say they reached higher and achieved more than they thought possible," Molin said proudly.
He coached track, went to the school's sporting events and concerts, and paid attention to what was happening in the lives of his "kids."
"Sometimes they were surprised if I asked about their brother's wedding, or a family member's funeral, but I really cared about them," he said.
On the last day of school, his student — T.J. — gave him the last gold medal he'd won in a gymnastics competition. Molin didn't want to accept it, but T.J. urged him and said, "If you don't take it, I won't love you anymore." Molin maintains friendships with his former students that he's known for more than 30 years.
Up next? Six months of rest and relaxation, catching up with friends, and then Molin is considering joining the Peace Corps. He'd like to go to Africa or Eastern Europe to serve. As he moves into a new phase of his life, he leaves behind some wisdom: "I tell my students to follow their dreams "� and to keep going after it."
In the 1945 classic movie, "The Bells of Saint Mary," Bing Crosby's character says, "If you ever need anything, no matter what it is, or where you happen to be "� just dial 'O' for O'Malley."
Molin told his students, "just text 'M' for Molin."
