American al Qaeda Traitor & Blogger Arrested in Texas
Daniel Maldonado (aka, "ABU MOHAMMED"; aka "Daniel Aljughaifi"), a native born American who converted to Islam, went to Somalia following the call to jihad to fight for the African Taliban. Maldanado was born in Massachusetts, but presently lives in Houston Texas (specifically at 9888 United Drive, Apartment #2207---so, he may be your neighbor). Why was he fighting in Somalia? Because he wanted to practice "true Islam".
He also admitted that he would fight the Americans if they came to Somalia and had no problems with the September 11 attacks. Which is, I believe, the very essence of treason.
I've noted in the past that the African Taliban---formally call The Islamic Courts Union --has an American citizen named Ibrahim Hassan Addou as their 'Foreign Minister'. You also won't be surprised to learn that Professor Addou spent some time as an academic here in America.
Oh, and via a link by a Charles Johnson I found out he's a blogger. What's so interesting about his blog is that Daniel apparently spent a lot of time at an Islamic chat forum, and appears to have had some part in both designing the website and running it. He's listed as "staff" in his bio. To each of his messages posted at the forum is attached the slogan "Unite and Conquer".
--->Much more below, including updates.
UPDATE: Thanks to Dave for finding this, one of the stories posted by Daniel to the main Islamic Network website was the conversion story of Yahiye Adam Gadahn--aka, Azzaz al Amreki--the Orange County convert to Islam who has appeared on several al Qaeda productions and who is said to have been charged with bringing a WMD into the U.S. The Islamic Network's search function shows that it was Daniel Aljughaifi who posted it.
In one post he laments:
Islam has become something that we read about and learn, and we rarely practice it sadly.On his blog, he asks: "Am I a Wahabbi?" No apparent answer, except for the title of that post: "Die Hard Wahabbi". Which is interesting, becauce on an earlier post at the forum, he claims he does not much care for the "Saudi Salafis" and their propensity to declare non-Wahabbs apostate.
Several of his posts about Somalia have been removed, but one about news that the ICU had taken Mogadishu he says, "I felt like crying. Make Dua' [prayer] people!" And in another, "Somalia may have an Islamic state inshaAllah! [God willing]"
On one debate Daniel had with a Muslim woman thinking about unveiling herself, he argued that true Muslim women were required to not only cover their heads, but their entire bodies except for their hands and eyes. In another he posts a quote from an Islamic scholar urging Muslims not to live in the West. All in all he has over 500 posts at that website.
UPDATE: The guys at IM are now reacting to his arrest. Most common response? May Allaah hasten his release. Aameen.
UPDATE: Looks like Dave saw many of these same threads too, and I would have saved a lot of time had I read his entire post the first time.....
What is clear is that his online activities seemed to have influenced his decision to commit jihad. The transformation from American kid to Muslim terrorist was supported in an online community.
The very first words of the complaint against Daniel Maldanado allege that he:
conspired to use a weapon of mass destruction, that is a bomb....outside the United StatesHe is also accused of:
knowingly receiving military-type training from al-QaedaWhich isn't incredibly surprising given that I've seen jihadi produced videos coming out of Somalia that show fighters who are definitely not from Somalia. You know, white guys. I always assumed that they were Arabs, but a friend of mine from Britain pointed out that at least one of them was from the U.K. Apparently, at least one of them was from the U.S. also.
More from the affidavit:
On or about November 24, 2005, he traveled to Cairo, Egypt, and in November 2006, to Somalia in search of a country where he could practice true Islam."True Islam", eh? By going to a country that wanted to kill apostates? Interesting...After being captured in Kenya, this is what he told the FBI:
MALDONADO statedThat would, of course, be treason. And since the U.S. was actively bombing targets in Somalia, I would suggest that fighting with the ICU is also an act of treason.
that he had chosen to fight in Somalia because he believed that he was fighting for a legitimate Islamic government. He said, "I would be fighting the Somali militia, and that turned into fighting the Ethiopians, and if Americans came, I would fight them too."
MALDONADO further stated that he believed he would kill other Muslims, in an attack, if they were apostates and not faithful Muslims.Remember, under Islamic Law apostasy is a captal offense.
The complaint goes on to explain how Maldonado arrived in Mogadishu and was equipped and trained then shipped to fight in Southern Somalia. At one point he even helped interrogate a flight attendant accused of being a "spy" because he had a camera phone. The "spy" was later killed.
Maldonado claims he never got to the front because he contracted malaria, but one of his jihadi associates claims:
MALDONADO did not go to the front because he had been selected for additional trainingBut that's not all, apparently the al Qaeda were the "cool kids" while Maldonado was part of the "B crowd":
MALDONADO stated that while residing with the young mujahadin in Mogadishu, he became aware that al Qaeda members were residing and training in the same compound.Hmmm, I wonder who that could mean?
A Yemeni who personally knew bin Laden, and MALDONADO, participated in nightly gatherings during which stories of bin Laden were told by the Yemeni. MALDONADO identified certain members at the camp as being al Qaeda, although he did not know for sure who all of the al Qaeda members were.
MALDONADO opined that al Qaeda fighters were given much more respect than members of the ICU. During discussions with the young mujahadin, they spoke about conquering Somalia, Ethiopia, and Egypt and making them Islamic states.
MALDONADO learned about a major al Qaeda operative fighting in the southern part of Somalia whom he did not meet.
As Andy Cochran notes, Maldonado's indictment raises serious questions about the threat of Muslim converts in America. I would also add that it raises equally serious questions about the role of the internet in promoting, encouraging, and recruiting for jihad.
UPDATE: So I'm reading this report from ABC News linked by Michelle Malkin. Why is "It wasn't clear Tuesday whether Maldonado had a lawyer" an important angle to the story?

In a Montessori prepared environment, the morning is based on an uninterrupted 3-hour work cycle. In our environment this commences at 9am.
It is a time when children can act spontaneously within their classroom, following their inner drives and interests.
During the work cycle, our guides present materials and concepts, and observe the children as they explore and interact with the environment.
It is our priority to protect this time from disruption and develop reverence when we are in the service of the child.
The creation of this space gives each child the opportunity to realize their potential.
All children commence stage 1 doing the "Transitional Program" half days from 9-12pm. These are consecutive days in your chosen community.
By the age of 4 your child, in most cases, should have grown into their full days.
However, as each child is different, the decision to increase the length of a child's day is considered in depth by our guides, including if your child is:
• coping with separation
• choosing materials independently and packing them away
• following simple instructions
• coping with the morning work cycle without becoming tired
• able to pack their bag and care for their belongings independently
• using the toilet independently
• is not showing signs of tiredness
• feels comfortable and at "home'' within the environment.
The Montessori journey is not just for your child. It is an opportunity for your whole family to learn and grow together.
When you feel connected with the environment, your child will inevitably feel the same way.
You can help them by:
• bringing them to school for the beginning of the "work cycle" so they can fully participate in the work cycle and respect other children's work cycle
• read any information sent out and do your own research on the Montessori philosophy
• get involved in parent information and discussion groups
• understand the purpose of the minimum days and transitional requirement within their chosen community
• commit to a 3-year cycle from the age of 3-6 to ensure you child has a complete experience
• trust the journey with your child within the Montessori Environment is unfolding in ways not always seen by you but experienced, often profoundly, by your child.
Attending Sakura together with your child is an opportunity for you both to feel comfortable as you begin the journey into schooling.
Once you start the program, you as parents/guides are role models for the children.
Your presence can help to create a peaceful space for the children, one that in time will begin to feel like "home".
Your role in the space is to observe the magic of your child as they choose and complete each piece of work. It is beautiful opportunity for you to witness their abilities.
Transitioning into Stage 1 depends on a number of factors including availability, readiness, and family commitment.
Our guides consider a child's readiness carefully before they can transition into Stage 1. Some of the readiness signs we observe and look for are the ability to;
• go to the toilet on their own (we understand that assistance may be required with wiping bottoms)
• pack their own bag
• close their own bag
• unpack their own bag
• walk up the path from the car park holding your hand or walking safely (not being carried)
• carry or wheel their own bag from the car
• dress themselves every morning- wearing simple easy clothing they can get on and off themselves
• choose their own clothes from limited choices
• put their own shoes on and off
• use all the containers (i.e. open and close) in their bag
• open and fill their drink bottle
• be involved in preparing their own snack and lunch (bringing a supply of forks, and knives to school if needed)
• follow instructions in class to the best of their ability
• choose a piece of work and put this back when complete.
You can help them prepare for Stage 1 by:
- ensuring they have a place to put their bag, drink bottle and hat at home
- creating time to observe your child in the home and encouraging independence.
In NSW children are to be enrolled in school by their 6th birthday.
For children enrolled at The Central Coast Montessori Preschool the transition process is based on each child's readiness. Since we respond to each child, this means the move may occur anytime between the ages of 5-and-a-half to 6-years-old, at any time during the year. The first step is to complete an expression of interest form and attendance at the Parent Information Session that is held 3 times a year.
For children transitioning from other non-montessori schools, how and when your child will begin to transition will be discussed during the application process.
For Preschool enrolments, from 1 January 2018 children who are unvaccinated due to their parent's conscientious objection will no longer be able to attend preschool. A school cannot enrol a child in preschool unless the parent/guardian has provided an approved immunisation certificate that shows the child:
- is fully immunised for their age, or
- has a medical reason not to be vaccinated, or
- is on a recognised catch-up schedule if their child has fallen behind with their vaccinations.
Only approved Australian Immunisation Register (AIR) forms can be accepted.
Let us answer it.

artwork: georgia o'keeffe
(Inspired by the painting by Georgia O'Keeffe)
by Cristina M.R. Norcross
Sun-burnt trees bow
and kiss the earth
like rows of praying women.
They lift their heavy heads,
leveling their gaze at the lake,
as the deep, lustrous tones of Autumn
spread like brush fire
during a dry heat wave.
Shadows play along the surface,
turning crystal clear water
into the troubled depths of sapphire blue.
The mountains stand guard –
a watchful blanket of crimson vegetation.
I wrap myself in this
scene of dark decay,
that smells of sweet licorice and smoke,
expecting to find more length
to the season.
Touches of yellow evaporate
on the tips of tree tops,
and the mellow sun fades
earlier each day.
Winter washes the palette clean,
and we wait impatiently
for buds to bloom.

Open Source Optical Character Recognition (OCR) on the Mac
I recently received a letter reply to an enquiry I made to South Eastern Trains. I wanted to make the text available (I don't like reading text in images) but didn't want to type it all out. Having scanned it in, I looked around for some OCR software, for the Mac, that would extract the text for me. Through the (relatively large amount of) search result noise, I managed to find a reference to tesseract. Installing from Mac Ports was easy but actually getting useful output was slightly tricker. I was trying to extract the text from this letter but kept getting garbled output. I tried a few things before stumbling across this page that suggests making the image greyscale and ensuring that the extension is .tif (not .tiff). I duly complied, using Seashore to convert the image to greyscale, and tried again. This time the text was extracted perfectly (even the addresses, that appear in two columns, were extracted correctly).

On April 18, 2018, a German startup company named Savedroid appeared to pull an ICO "exit scam" when they suddenly posted images on their website suggesting they had taken all of the money contributed so far and disappeared with it.
It turns out, however, that this was merely a publicity stunt to shine a light on how easy it is to scam people with ICOs. Although one may question the effectiveness (and sincerity) of this particular stunt, there is no question that there is a lot of fraudulent activity in the space (one example being that ICObench "experts" were able to retroactively change the previously stellar ratings they had given to Savedroid).
Although nobody likes a "scam," how exactly should that term be defined in a space that is known for being something of a playground for con artists and scammers (not to be confused with the State of Florida, which also has the same designation)?
According to Brian Kean, Chief Business Development Officer at ICORating (which is one of the few ICO rating sites we've found that appears to be unwilling to prostitute1 itself):
We define a project as a scam only when it is proven that the money collected during a pre-ICO or ICO was stolen and the team has disappeared. This means the fraud was preplanned and the theft of investor funds deliberate.
Don't Believe the Hype. Five Largest ICO "Exit Scams": Expert Take
Although intent to defraud may make sense from a criminal law standpoint, we believe that such a strict interpretation ignores far too many other ICOs that are just as likely to result in massive losses to their token holders. Furthermore, since these "lesser scams" don't necessarily involve criminal liability, there may be no legal recourse available to token holders who are suckered into contributing, so the overall potential loss may even be greater.
We therefore propose that in addition to those projects that meet Brian Kean's criteria, "ICO scams" should also include:
- projects where the founding team intends to distribute tokens in accordance with the terms of the token sale agreement but not to use any of the proceeds from the sale to seriously develop the project (which would include Centra and BitConnect); and
- projects where the only honest answer to the question "Why blockchain?" is "Because that's the only way we can raise fucktons of money via an ICO."
Unfortunately we believe the majority of ICOs today fall into this last category, which is one of the reasons we created Tokenicide. As we continue to review and highlight the bad actors in this space, we hope to educate prospective contributors on how to identify these sorts of scams themselves.
And curse a lot. Have we mentioned how much we fucking love doing that shit?
1Although ICORating charges $10,000 to be reviewed on their site, we do not consider this to be "prostitution" for purposes of this article. That's because ICORating does not guarantee a good review for $10,000, and most people wouldn't agree to pay a prostitute $10,000 if there was no guarantee that they were going to get serviced properly. To be honest, we're not quite sure why anyone would actually agree to pay ICORating $10,000 for a possible shitty review (which is why we write shitty reviews for free), but that's beside the point. We guess.

you can use a high end dac with a pc if you buy a good sound card either one designed for mixing or a high end sound blaster that has a coaxial digital output that will feed 16/44 digital signal to any audo dac.
Have you heard a PC played through a DAC?
Lately I've noticed some DAC's have a input for your PC. Are any of these models high-end? I'd like to feed high-sample rate (256k or higher, NOT mp3's) music from my PC to my pre-amp using one of these DAC's. Also, what is the best cd TRANSPORT for a PC. Ideally, it would be read/writable but read-only would be great. (From what I've seen lately, I may not have a choice). All help appreciated.

The port is:

The server has no mods, so you won't have interact by default (to keep griefers from destroying everything while I'm away). I don't have mods because I have to pay for them (see for yourself: http://www.minetesthosting.com/plans-pricing/), and I cannot afford to pay $5 a month (yes, $5 a month) to have a modded server, and I cannot do the usual way of hosting (port forwarding) because my router doesn't support port forwarding for some reason.

Oklahoma Nursing Homes Get F Grade in Nationwide Comparison
Oklahoma nursing homes received an F grade from the "Nursing Home Report Cards" presented by a Florida-based nonprofit.
The Nursing Home Report Cards averaged eight data points from the nursing homes of all 50 states. States were then divided into quintiles, with the lowest group receiving an F grade.
The 10 states that received F grades are: Texas, Louisiana, Indiana, Oklahoma, Missouri, New Mexico, New York, Michigan, Nevada, Illinois and Iowa. (Who says Oklahoma and New York have nothing in common?)
Oklahoma ranked lowest in the nation for registered nurse (RN) hours per resident per day. Nursing home residents in the state receive an average of less than 30 minutes a day of RN care. Alaska, the top-ranked state in that criterion, provides an average of 70 minutes of RN care per day.
The 10 states that received an A grade are Alaska, Rhode Island, New Hampshire, Hawaii, Oregon, Maine, Utah, Idaho, South Dakota and North Dakota.
The Nursing Home Report Cards were developed by Families For Better Care, which describes itself as "a non-profit citizen advocacy group." However, the Oklahoma Association of Health Care Providers, which represents nursing homes in the state, charged that the nonprofit is funded primarily by a law firm in search of nursing home lawsuits.
"The group's claim as to the unbiased nature of the report card is dubious at best," OAHCP director Rebecca Moore said.
However, the Report Cards methodology is based strictly on easily verifiable statistics. The Report Cards website provides a detailed explanation of its methodology. The grades are based on eight statistics. Five of the statistics were drawn from the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services' Nursing Home Compare:
1. Percentage of facilities in the state with above average registered nurse staffing
2. Percentage of facilities with above average direct care staffing
3. Percentage of facilities with above average health inspections
4. Percentage of facilities with deficiencies
5. Percentage of facilities with severe deficiencies
Two more data points, both about staffing, are drawn from the Kaiser Health Foundation:
6. State's average registered nurse (RN) hours per resident per day
7. State's average certified nurse assistant (CNA) hours per resident per day
Finally, one statistic is obtained from the Office of State Long-Term Care Ombudsman:
8. Percentage of verified complaints.
Oklahoma's F nursing home grade drew several responses from across the state. Charles R. Clark, Ponca City, a member of the Oklahoma Silver Haired Legislature, said in a Tulsa World editorial:
"As the number of older Oklahomans continues to increase rapidly, our state will require residences where individuals can receive professional and caring oversight in the twilight of life. Please don't allow another day to pass without expressing your commitment to improving our state's poor rankings. Before we know it, we will all be faced with the question: 'Who will take care of me?'"
Rep. Richard Morrissette, a Democrat state lawmaker who represents south Oklahoma City, said, "Do those seniors we love have a right to quality of life? We have a duty as a society to show them compassion." Morrissette proposed an interim study, "Improving Oklahoma's Nursing Homes," but the House has not approved the study.
Morrissette said key issues in Oklahoma's nursing homes include staffing, requiring the state Health Department to investigate all allegations of abuse which result in death, and requiring emergency medical resuscitation equipment and training in nursing home facilities.

Update and Some New Studies
Quick update on the training and running. After doing St. Louis Peak, I did my "fast" loop to continue to work on form and foot placement. It went well, but it was harder to run continuously at a steady state on the fronts of the feet when tired. I kept finding myself wanting to open up my stride a bit (instead of the quicker turnover associated with frontal running), as it felt more relaxing in my slightly tired state. However, when I do that I notice instantly how I would slow down just a touch and begin to slightly strike the heel. The subtle difference between the two is really noticeable on flatter terrain over longer distances. On hills, I always land on the fronts and use a quicker cadence. Its the flats and downhills where I need to learn to make up time.
After a day off, I ran Bottle Peak again this morning. I really love this run, as it involves a nice opening trail and some fun climbing at the end. I felt pretty good, although I attribute eating out for lunch yesterday (sadly, a burger and fries) resulting in my slightly un-energized speed. It took me 2:16 today.
Speaking of running form, a new study published called The Potential of Human Toe Flexor Muscles to Produce Force is interesting, especially if you are into the barefoot running or even the more frontal running style (as opposed to the heel-toe style). The study looked at what point does the long and short toe flexor muscles produce force in relation to ankle flex. The long and short toe flexor muscles are the ones that help "push" off around the big toe and area. The researchers wanted to know at what point during a foot strike were these muscles producing the most force, i.e., when did they give you the biggest push/benefit. They found that the biggest push/benefit from your toes comes when your ankle is at 0-10 degrees dorsally flexed. What this means is that if you are running with more of a frontal strike pattern, then your toes will help contribute to your push off (and thus momentum) almost at the exact moment when you strike (when you ankle is flexed 0-10 degrees and your foot is on its upward journey), while if you are more of a heel-toe striker, you will not get quite as much benefit from your toes pushing off, primarily because your ankle will be already flexed beyond 0-10 degrees dorsally. This under utilization of your toe force will increase the wider your stride is because it will change the angle of your ankle flex. So, what this means in layman's terms is that you want to try and have a slightly smaller stride (and most likely higher cadence) so that when you push off you do so with a minimal bend at the ankle. If you land flat or slightly on your fronts, and immediately begin to push off, you will have the most force to propel you forward. If you open up your stride, that force will decrease (at least in the toes, it may increase in terms of other muscle force expenditures) because your ankle will be at a slightly greater angle.
This is something to think about, especially on longer trail runs or during ultras. To keep up a good pace, it seems you want to have a higher cadence with a more flat or frontal foot strike to help keep the forces you are generating in pushing you forward. If you have greater ankle flex, then you will not be using your maximum force, which over time could result in some serious time or distance variances. I'm not an advocate for the barefoot thing, but I think that working on one's form is essential in improving one's running. So, next time you are out, pay attention to how you are landing, at which point you "push" off, and if you can tweak that a bit. It might improve your time by just enough to make a difference.

The theme of this contest is going: abuse.
It's a very sad thing. D;
Round #1's prompt:

Okay, so whoever wants to join can (and I suggest you should!), but only 10 people will make it to Round #2 D;
(Round 2's prompt will be announced after Round 1, but it will be a type of abuse)
And only 2 people will win Round #2.
Round #3 is going to be a showdown of the final 2.
Everyone (and I mean EVERYONE) is encouraged to cast their vote of who should win.
The final 2 will post their entries, and I will post the names on my page. Read both the entries, and tell me which one you think is best.
(I will still be the one choosing the winner, but voting will help me decide)
This is going to be very fun :) So even if you don't make it into the final 2, you could help by picking who you think should win.
The FINAL WINNER will be very lucky :) And prizes will be announced after the whole contest is over.

Recapitalization of office park joint venture
Arnold & Porter LLP represented the sponsor of an existing joint venture in a recapitalization that involved a new (second) equity partner, refinancing the existing mortgage loan indebtedness with a new lender, and issuing a carried interest to the prior lender.
This transaction involved an office park in North Carolina with 21 separate parcels, nine office/flex buildings and twelve undeveloped tracts. Our client, the sponsor and manager of the properties, acquired the office park in a joint venture with Equity Investor #1 in 2007. The acquisition was financed in part with a first mortgage loan from Lender #1.
Due to the market swoon, there was no possibility of refinancing the entire original mortgage loan when it recently matured. Thus, the parties worked out a recapitalization that included the following elements:
- Payoff of the original mortgage loan at a discount, with the issuance to Lender #1 of a carried interest in the event that the restructured venture is very successful;
- Obtaining a new mortgage loan (at a lower principal amount) from new Lender #2;
- Bringing in a new Equity Investor #2 to infuse additional equity; and
- Modifying the original joint venture with Equity Investor #1 to accommodate the new deal.
The transaction required the simultaneous negotiation of three separate joint venture agreements, a complete set of new loan documents, and real estate transfer and related matters for 21 separate parcels.

Met Ball's fashion hit and misses; dueling celeb pop-ups
Hot on Social: Met Ball fashion report
The annual Metropolitan Museum Costume Institute Gala (a.k.a. the Met Ball) was held Monday night in New York City to celebrate the museum's spring exhibition: "Manus x Machina: Fashion in an Age of Technology." The fash-tech mashup inspired some hits (Zoe Saldana and her Dolce & Gabbana train for days, Bette Midler in a gear-printed Marc Jacobs with headpiece by downtown party queen Susanne Bartsch, a classic Idris Elba in Tom Ford, the ageless Cindy Crawford in Balmain, Nicole Kidman in silver Alexander McQueen with matching cape) and some misses (Madonna's inappropriate-at-any-age Givenchy, a masked Zoe Kravitz in Valentino Haute Couture, Lady Gaga's pantless Versace robot warrior, Demi Lovato and Nicki Minaj in overdone Moschino). Among the most talked-about dresses of the night was Claire Danes' LED light-up gown by Zac Posen, which earned comparisons to Cinderella's magically constructed ball ensemble. Palo Alto author and fashion collector Christine Suppes, a member of the Friends of the Costume Institute, attended wearing Rodarte. Other Bay Area attendees included Apple chief design officer and gala co-chair Sir Jonathan Ive and his wife, Heather; Google's Sergey Brin; Tesla innovator Elon Musk, who brought his mother (and Style's 2015 fall fashion model) Maye Musk; 23andMe cofounder Anne Wojcicki and new boyfriend and Yankee Alex Rodgriguez; Denise Hale; Vanessa Getty; Trevor and Alexis Traina; and Ken Fulk. Among the talked about no-shows: Chanel designer Karl Lagerfeld who was traveling with a group of the house's best clients to Havana prior to the Chanel Havana Cruise Collection debut in the the city. Speaking of Vogue, the magazine's website bestowed "best dressed" honors upon Kim Kardashian in a too-tight sequined silver Balmain and husband Kanye West in ripped jeans and a crystal-studded jacket also by the house. As if that wasn't enough, the Yeezy designer also donned eerie blue contact lenses. In spite of Vogue's commendation, much of the Internet disagreed, which sums up fashion in the age of technology.
En garde
Whose side are you on? It's dueling celebrity pop-ups in May, with Gwyneth Paltrow's Goop Mrkt at 120 Maiden Lane open for business, and soon, from May 16-30, former model Amanda Hearst's ethical fashion pop-up Maison de Mode at 125 Maiden Lane (in the former Marc Jacobs space). Hearst, with designer Hassan Pierre, began launching the pop-ups in 2012 and the two have long eyed San Francisco. "Being personally familiar with the city, I know that there is a large group of people who care about what they wear," said the great-granddaughter of media tycoon William Randolph Hearst by email. "What I have noticed in San Francisco is that there is a large concern for the environment as well as how we as individuals impact the world around us." Clothing, jewelry and home goods by Maiyet, Osklen, Edun, Tempest+Bentley, Amour Vert, Spinelli-Kilcollin, Andrea Fohrman, Westward Leaning, Matson & Palmer, Tina Frey Designs and Azlee, among others, are featured. The shops have been well-received in New York, Los Angeles, Miami and even conservative Washington, D.C., where the duo were surprised to sell a purple sequined bomber jacket. "Our customers told us, 'We are so happy you are here! There is no cool fashion in D.C. right now,'" Hearst said. As for what will go over big in S.F., "I have no idea," she said. "That's part of the fun in doing this."
Tusk, tusk
In her purple pantsuit, Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., made a splash at the podium at the San Francisco Zoo's Zoofest on April 30, where she, the evening's honoree, joked she was not in mourning for Prince: "I want you to know this selection of a suit is only because it was pressed," she said, drawing laughs. More seriously, her focus was ivory — not the color, but the tusks of elephants. As mayor, Feinstein famously secured the loan of pandas from Shanghai, while her husband supported the acquisition of Asian one-horned rhinos (whose hoofprints-in-paint artworks went for $1,100 at silent auction). At the event, chaired by Elizabeth and Stephen Revetria and Charlot and Greg Malin,
Pace-ing themselves
Who says techies are too busy coding to care about fine art? Hundreds lined up in downtown Palo Alto on April 27 for the opening of the newest branch of New York's Pace Gallery, a leading dealer in contemporary art — a party that included philanthropists Laurene Powell Jobs, MC Hammer, Laura Arrillaga-Andreessen and artists James Turrell and Chuck Close, in the flesh. Young industrial designers and Stanford students were among those who stood in line for more than an hour to gaze at Turrell's light sculptures, featured in the opening night exhibition.
Gallery President Marc Glimcher began coming to Palo Alto years ago to work with Arrillaga-Andreeseen and her acquisitions, and realized Silicon Valley was a natural base for Pace. "When I started coming here, I experienced an amazing ability to share — this is about a community that is (an) inspiration," he said."We are here to stay."

Yes, of course you want "fair". Don't we all? But what does that actually mean to you, and why does it matter? Will your spouse's ideas of "fair" be the same as yours? Are you both at the same stage of grief over the end of your marriage? Are you being driven by the same emotions as your spouse in thinking about what you think is fair? Or might the whole "fair" question be where things start to unravel?
Is your idea of "fair" about:
- punishment and revenge for your disillusionment and hurt about the end of your relationship?
- squaring the ledger for the feeling that you have not been respected, or because you have been taken for granted in your marriage?
- getting what you can right now, because you don't know what your financial future holds?
- getting whatever your spouse doesn't want you to have, to show them that you are now going to stand up for yourself?
- revenge for your past dis-empowerment?
- giving you a future because you sacrificed so much in your marriage?
- the fact that you've damn well worked for it and now you're going to get the benefits of it?
- knowing that he/she is going to get a large inheritance down the track, and you'll never get to share in that?
- the legal advice you've had, either from a real lawyer, or from someone who "knows" the law (doesn't everybody?)
- believing that 50:50 is always fair?
When it comes to ending a relationship or marriage, you can actually only fight about two things, the kids or the money. Most people understand that going into battle about their kids as a way of avenging their anger and fear about the end of their marriage, is potentially harmful to their children. So that leaves the money, right? Hopefully not.
My experience tells me that what people think is a fair settlement is often about their stage of grief at the end of their marriage. Fair to an angry person might look anything but, to someone who is calmer. Fair to someone who is still in denial and may be prepared to be unrealistically generous, will look very different from how it looks to someone who has accepted the reality of their separation.
So when a client asks me what I think is fair, the law is about the last thing I am going to discuss.
Everyone needs to feel that their financial settlement is fair, to be able to live comfortably with it. Recognising the stages of grief in your separation, can help you to know what part of "fair" is being driven by negative emotions, and which is objectively reasonable, so you have the chance to reshape "fair".
In our upcoming book "Breaking up Without Breaking Down", Dr Tina Sinclair discusses the five stages of grief originally described by Dr Elizabeth Kubler-Ross, and how they will apply to grieving the end of your marriage.
The five stages of grief are:
- Denial
- Anger
- Bargaining
- Sadness
- Acceptance
It is not until you reach the stage of acceptance that you are likely to be able to focus on the future. At this point, "You realise that the divorce is going ahead and, even if you aren't happy about it, you can still make the best of it". So if there is an ideal time to negotiate a financial settlement, it is when you have been through the stages of denial and anger. You might see that "fair" means something different by the time you reach acceptance, from what it means when you are in denial or are angry.
But, the truth is that usually one person is in the driver's seat when it comes to the timing of settlement negotiations. If that is not you, and you are forced to the negotiating table, or worse to court, before you are even able to accept the end of your marriage, you will need help from a counsellor or psychologist.
It is unlikely that you and your spouse will arrive at acceptance at the same time. It is also true that time is not the only ingredient in arriving at acceptance. There may be reasons for you to be stuck at an earlier stage of grief, and you may need help to move past it.
If you feel you need support to cope with your separation, and if you want to work in a way that allows for grief in separation, please call me for a counselling referral or advice about collaborative divorce. Collaborative divorce is when two kind and co-operative lawyers team up with a psychologist and financial planner, to look after all your needs, instead of focusing on the law, and ignoring your pain. That is what I do. Every day.

Much the same could be said about the dumping of those with mental or social problems. The Thatcher government's Care in the Community programme, which closed many mental hospitals, left lucky mental patients as a burden on their families, while the less lucky ended on the streets or in police cells. However, the Blair/Brown government of 1997-2010 did nothing to rectify the situation, even though it had a massive majority in parliament and the benefit of a booming economy, which could easily have funded a relatively cheap social welfare programme. Although there is a tendency now to demonise Blair, it should be remembered that, electorally, he was the most successful Labour leader ever and that he was not a dictator – without the overwhelming support of the Labour Party, or, at least, the party in parliament, he could have done nothing.
Perhaps the answer is "a plague on both your houses"?
I have mentioned Oliver Tooley and his three time travel books before. I have just learnt that he has a Kickstarter project going to help him publish the first of what is projected to be a 9 volume series of children's books set in a fantasised Iron Age Europe. Well written children's books are vital to encourage children to start and continue reading, and, judging by his time travel books, Mr Tooley has the right touch. Mr Tooley is a local author, living in Ilfracombe, and deserves our support. A 9 volume series is an enormous undertaking, so let's get him off to a good start and support him at
I have put my (small) money where my (big) mouth is and have pledged something. If you can afford it, please do the same. The deadline is 18th April.
This year's Victorian celebration looks as though it is going to be the biggest and potentially most successful for ages, thanks to David Alexander, the volunteer artistic director, not to mention a bunch of enthusiastic volunteer helpers. The event was launched a week ago at the Lantern, where the programme was introduced. Harking back to earlier days, the programme is now free, although donations are welcome – like everything, it costs money to produce. The Victorian committee now has a much improved website – see ilfracombevictoriancelebration.co.uk, where you can also see the programme.
Now, I know that there are some folk in town who don't much like the Victorian week, but the same could be said for most events in town. At least with this one, if you don't like it, it's pretty easy to ignore. I have also heard the view that the week is just an excuse for a small clique to dress up as toffs and ponce around town looking down their noses at the plebs. If that ever was true, it is not now. The Victorian committee is anxious to involve as many of the town as possible, as can clearly be seen from what they say in the programme. As for dressing up, you can be as elaborate or casual as you wish. For men, it is quite easy. A working class man would have worn baggy trousers, a shirt (collarless, if you can manage it; if not, don't worry) open at the neck with a scarf or cravat and possibly a waistcoat. He would have worn a hat of some kind.
Women have it slightly more difficult since they have to wear very long skirts/dresses, which are unfashionable now, lest we men become uncontrollable at the sight of a well turned ankle. Calm down, gentlemen. I know it is a little risqué even to mention certain anatomical parts, but we are all adults here. I am told it is not too difficult to knock up a passable skirt from a suitable piece of material, but I suspect that this would not be one of my skills. In addition, a mobcap, which is readily obtainable or, again, allegedly easy to make.
Anyway, why not try – you might find you enjoy it. In any event, this is the sort of thing that keeps the tourists coming. Personally, my favourite bit is shouting sexist insults at the suffragettes. If I did it in any other context, Rita Clewes would probably beat me up, but here I can shout "Get back to the kitchen where you belong" and pretend I am only pretending!
I am always a little hesitant about commenting on court cases on the basis of a newspaper report. The case lasts hours, days or weeks, and the report, however detailed, can never cover all the points raised and may well fail to include matters crucial to the verdict or the sentence, especially when the report is just a few column inches long. However, sometimes, something leaps out at me. In this case, a young man was given a suspended sentence, a fine, community service and a driving ban for an accident in which an elderly lady was killed. I believe he was convicted of causing death by careless driving. There is a greater charge, which I believe is causing death by dangerous driving, which carries greater penalties, but I understand that the burden of proof is much greater. Anyway, I not infrequently read reports of this sort of incident, where an innocent passer-by is killed as a result of what is found to be careless driving, the driver walks away with a relatively minor punishment – often less than if (s)he had mugged the victim – and the victim's family is left feeling that justice has not been done.
The knee-jerk reaction is to say that killing someone is such a serious matter that you should lock up the perpetrator and throw away the key, and, as a victim of a drunk driving a stolen SUV in America some time ago, I have considerable sympathy for this point of view. On the other hand, why should a person's life be wrecked, as can often be the result of a prison sentence, simply because of what might be a moment's inattention?
In a sad situation like this, it is impossible to come up with an answer that suits everyone, and, in any case, each case must be judged on its merits. However, my view, for what it's worth, is that we currently tend too much towards leniency and that the penalty should be more severe, if only to encourage others to consider whether, at any particular day or hour, they are fit to drive. What do you think?
Last night I had dinner, for the first time in several years, at the Terrace Tapas. It has been under new management since the beginning of the year. However, not much has changed, presumably on the basis that, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
The wine list is different – very few Spanish wines. I had a decent Chilean Chardonnay and a very pleasant New Zealand Pinot Noir. I also noted a NZ Sauvignon Blanc that I might well try next time. Still, a bit more of a Spanish influence would have been nice. From what I ate, two dishes stood out. One was patatas bravas – very garlicky and with a delightfully fresh tasting tomato sauce. The other was habitas con jamon, baby broad beans with garlic and Serrano ham. If you like broad beans, you would love this. If you haven't been there recently, I suggest you give it a go.
If you look towards the top left of any page of this blog, and click the "Links" link, you will be taken to a page of links to useful sites having something to do with Ilfracombe. If any business, charity or other organisation would like to appear on this page, please let me know.
Finally, a plea to restauranteurs. Please put your opening times on the home page of your website if you have one or on your Facebook page. Since the opening times vary from season to season and change as a result of the individual judgement of each restaurant, no one can ever be sure whether a particular restaurant is or is not open. Judging by the number of times I see posts on Facebook asking about opening times, this must be a big problem to your customers.

A seasoned custom home builder can plan and build your home, exceed your expectations, build within your budget, and complete the work as scheduled. Here are some things to ask about the custom home building contractor you would like to hire:
1. Ask about their experience level.
- How long have you been in business? (Learn about their history in order to build trust.)
- How many custom homes have you built? (Discover how popular their custom builds are by gaining knowledge about the depth of their experience.)
2. Ask about their qualifications.
- Do you have a valid building contractor's license for the state of Oklahoma?
- Are you a member in good standing with the local, state, and national Home Builder's Associations?
- Are you a Certified Professional Home Builder?
- What type of continuing education classes do you take, and how often?
3. Ask about the designing and planning process for your custom home.
- Do you have timeless home design plans from which I can choose?
- How can those plans be changed?
- What are the standard features, and what upgrade options do I have in the design I choose?
- What type of energy efficiency features can we include to get the best long-term utility savings in my custom home?
- Can I provide my own designs and plans? How does that impact the price and timeframe of my custom home build?
- Have you built a home like the one I plan to build?
- Discuss your design preferences, and verify you have the right contractor to build your preferred style.
- How will specific needs we have, such as a home we can grow old in with accessibility features, be included?
4. Ask for references.
- Ask for several recent build references.
- Contact the references and discover what it was like to work with this specific contractor. Ask about their satisfaction with the custom built home and the building process. Ask about any difficulties they may have had in the building process.
- Ask about their construction standards to ensure quality.
5. Ask about your timeline preferences
Find out the estimated start and finish date for your custom built home project.
- Ask about what may cause delays in the schedule.
- Factor in weather and materials.
- Ask if the scheduled move-in date is realistic.
- Ask how many homes they built in the last year, and how many homes they build at a time.
- Realize their workload and understand how your project may fit into that.
6. Ask about communication
Ask about the best way to establish fluid communication with the person in charge of your custom home build. Fluid interaction is critical to a custom home builder. And when changes come up, written communication is a must.
- Find out who will manage the daily construction at your home site.
- Ask who your contact person will be and how you can best reach them.
- Ask how often you will meet with the person in charge of building your home.
- Ask about the process and timeline if you need to make any changes to the design plan. (Changing plans after agreeing on them can cost both time and money.) Find out the penalties and boundaries the custom home builder has in place for changes.
- Ask at what time during the construction process you can no longer make changes to the design features.
- Ask where you document the desired changes and how to communicate in a way that there is no risk of misunderstanding.
7. Ask about the job site.
- Ask how often you can visit the job site.
- Ask when the best time to visit the job site during the construction process is.
8. Ask about the warranties included in your custom built home.
- Ask if the warranty includes the structure as well as the workmanship and materials such as the home's windows, doors, and roof.
- Ask if the warranty includes the custom home's electrical, plumbing, heating, and air conditioning systems.
- Ask about the details of the home warranty. Specifically, ask what is covered and what isn't. Find out how long the warranty coverage is in effect for each part of the home.
9. Ask about site safety and cleanliness.
- Ask about the safety of their construction sites in the last several years. Find out if they had any major injuries onsite. Inquire about safety precautions they take to ensure worker safety.
- Ask how the building site is left on a regular basis.
- Ask if they adhere to the Oklahoma State Code of Ethics.
10. Ask about insurance.
- Ask if the contractor carries workers' compensation insurance and a minimum of one million in general liability coverage.

Center for Adult and Returning Students
The Center for Adult and Returning Students (CARS) is a resource for prospective and enrolled adult students and faculty and staff at the University. We are a one-stop shop to help prospective students think about their education and career paths and to assist enrolled students, particularly with Prior Learning Assessment. We serve as a source of information about adult student needs and best practices for faculty and staff. Our mission is to promote and advocate for adult students across campus.
What is an Adult Student?
Adult or non-traditional students are typically defined as students over the age of 25 who are financially independent and therefore not claimed as dependents on someone else's tax returns. Because of their age, adult students frequently have more responsibilities than younger students and may be working full time, caring for family members, whether children or parents, and juggling other duties and activities that impact the time and energy they have to devote to education. Increasingly, students under the age of 25 are handling these responsibilities as well, so can be considered as non-traditional students. No matter your age, we are here to connect you with the resources you need for success in your education.

As France go looking for a European Championship win that will end Spain's recent dominance in the competition, one player will be watching wistfully from in front of his television screen.
Raphael Varane would surely have played a huge part in helping his country until injury not only ruled him out of Euro 2016, but also the Champions League final where Real Madrid won their 11th title in European club football's premier competition.
The defender has seen his club career options diminish under Zinedine Zidane, and hasn't really had a chance to prove his worth since Rafael Benitez was dispensed with.
Under a Spaniard who was often castigated for a particular style of play, Varane flourished, yet under his countryman he's been regularly relegated to the sidelines in preference for the pairing of Pepe and Sergio Ramos.
At 23 years of age, the young Frenchman has a decade in age on Pepe and seven years on the 30-year-old Ramos.
What he lacks in experience, he makes up for with a high level of application in all areas of defending and given that his form was good at the time Zidane took the reins, it makes the decision to regularly overlook him even more baffling.
Although Jose Mourinho has already dipped into the transfer market and made Eric Bailly his first signing for Manchester United, he's known to covet the player whom he gave a senior debut to whilst coach of Real.
And the feelings are reciprocal.
Even if the Special One were to overlook him for now, there's certainly reason to believe that Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool or even Manchester City could offer him terms.
It appears more likely that Varane will move to pastures new to continue his development rather than stay where he's not wanted.
Zidane's words that his countryman is the 'future of Real Madrid' have been shown to be nothing but hollow rhetoric, and for a player of Varane's evident quality, there's no time to dwell on empty promises.
He won't come cheap of course, and arguably Los Blancos will play hardball with any team wanting to make a player who was French captain at 21, part of their defensive line for 2016/17.
Sometimes however the will of a player needs to be respected.
Varane has already articulated that he 'doesn't feel important' at Real Madrid and that 'I need to play, to thrive and improve.'
It wouldn't therefore be a surprise to learn he has already played his last game in a white shirt.

to Brush Your Dog's Teeth:
a quiet, convenient time when you and your dog are both relaxed.
The best time to begin is when your dog is very young. Don't be
too serious – make it fun. Start with gently teaching your dog to
being accustomed to your placing your finger in his mouth on his
teeth. Do this every day or two until your pup is comfortable with
you touching his mouth and teeth.
the first few sessions don't even use a toothbrush or finger brush.
Hold your dog the same as when you are cuddling him. Gently stroke
the outside of his cheeks with your finger, or you can massage the
pet's muzzle with your fingers. When there is no resistance to having
their face rubbed, lift up their lips and rub their teeth.
After he becomes comfortable with that, place a dab of toothpaste
on your finger and let him taste it. Most pets love the taste of
the special canine toothpaste.
Or you can dip your finger in something good like soup and then
rub your finger along his teeth. Rub it against his gums. Only do
this for a minute or two. Then stop and praise your dog.
you can wrap a piece of gauze around your finger to make it feel
a little different and rub that against his teeth. After awhile,
you will feel comfortable enough to put a toothbrush into your dog's
time, place a small amount of toothpaste on the brush. Let your
dog taste the toothpaste before attempting to brush his teeth. Allow
him to lick the toothpaste off your brush. Yum! Introducing a toothbrush
is a process of building confidence and trust so gentle encouragement
works best. When he has tasted the toothpaste, reapply paste to
the brush and start brushing in a slow circular motion brushing
gently on one or two teeth and along the adjoining gum line. The
purpose of this step is to get your dog accustomed to the feel of
the brush.
way of getting your dog used to a toothbrush is to take some garlic
salt, mix it with water, and dip an old toothbrush into it. Hold
the brush, and let your dog lick or chew the brush. The dog will
realize that a toothbrush is good and that it tastes good.
can do this a few times so the dog won't be scared of the brushing
process, and will let you brush daily. It is important to keep your
dog calm and relaxed by praising him and stroking his neck area.
Over the next several days, gradually increase the number of teeth
is important to eventually brush the rear teeth where plaque and
tartar have a greater tendency to accumulate, so when he is relaxed,
gently pull back his lips and cheeks to gain access to the premolars
and molars.
Go slowly and gently. Stop brushing when you decide to stop, before
your dog begins to fuss. If he learns to dislike the procedure and
finds out that more fussing makes you stop quicker, then this brushing
business is going to get harder, not easier.
up to about 30 seconds per side. Dogs don't get much tartar on the
inside surfaces of their teeth, so you only need to worry about
the outside surfaces Be sure to brush the big teeth way in back.
And always praise him for good behavior. Gently brush teeth and
gums using short, back and forth strokes. No rinsing necessary.

These Crispy Tofu Bowls have a fluffy quinoa base, crispy tofu and lots of garnish like sweet pomegranate, creamy avocado and vibrant arugula. Super satisfying for lunch or dinner!
Crispy Tofu Bowls (aka Buddha Bowls)
'Bowl' meals, or 'buddha' bowls, are something hubby and I eat a lot! Why? Because they are so.dang.easy. Plus, we get to use whatever odds and ends are floating around in our fridge. Waste not, want not right?
Today I'm sharing a tofu quinoa bowl, but the toppings? Let your creative monster fly, my friends! For any 'bowl' meal like this tofu bowl, start with a base, add some protein and then garnish to your little heart's content. Basically, you have-
- A grain, starch base or legume base
- Some protein
- Veggie or fruit add ins
- A delicious sauce
What's the Best Tofu For Frying?
Firm tofu is the best tofu for frying. Don't use silken or regular tofu. Firm is what you want. It doesn't have as much water content as, say, silken, and allows the tofu cubes to crisp up nice and golden brown. Ain't nobody got time for floppy, soggy uncrispy tofu. The Kitchn has a great guide for learning more about the various types of tofu.
How to Press Tofu Without a Press
As you may know, removing excess moisture from tofu is a key step in making crispy tofu. You can certainly buy a fancy tofu press, but if you don't have one at home (like me), no worries! To press tofu –
- Cut block of (firm) tofu in half.
- Wrap each half of tofu in paper towel (multiple layers, like 4-5).
- Place something heavy on top, like a cast iron pan or some heavy cans (like a canned tomatoes or the like).
- Allow to sit for at least 30 minutes before unwrapping and proceeding with recipe. If you want even more moisture removed, halfway through pressing, remove paper towel and replace with fresh stuff.
How to Marinate Tofu
How to make tofu taste good? It's easy peasy…marinate it! After you've pressed excess moisture from the tofu, I love to marinate to give extra flavour. Tofu by itself is not flavourful and pretty neutral tasting, which is not a bad thing! That just means it can take out whatever flavours you want it to!
So, to marinate tofu –
- Cut pressed tofu into strips.
- Cut strips into cubes.
- Place in marinade, stirring to coat.
- Allow to marinate for at least 15-30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
How to Cook Tofu? How to Make Crispy Tofu?
There are so many ways to cook tofu – simply pan fry it, scramble it, grill it or make crispy tofu (like I did for this quinoa bowl).
After the tofu has been pressed and marinated, now let's make crispy tofu. Honestly, you guys, I could pop these little bite-sized pieces like candy.
- Remove tofu from marinade, shaking off excess. Dab a little dry with paper towel, if you like.
- Place half of the tofu into a plastic bag and sprinkle in 2-3 tablespoons of cornstarch, shaking to coat.
- Repeat with remaining tofu/cornstarch. Ensure excess cornstarch is shaken off (I like to put them in a sieve to remove excess).
- In a large non stick pan on medium low heat (working in about 2 batches), add half of olive oil (1 tablespoon) and add half of tofu.
- Cook tofu on all sides, turning as necessary, until golden brown and crispy. Remove from pan and lay on a baking rack or plate while preparing second batch.
Yogurt Sauce for Quinoa Bowls
For these easy quinoa bowls, I made a super simple yogurt sauce to drizzle over top. Honestly, for the photos, I went a little easy. After? I piled it on, lol. It's garlicky, lemony and straight up creamy deliciousness.
Tips for Making these Quinoa Bowls with Tofu
- I used 1 cup of uncooked quinoa (which yields about 3 cups cooked). For me, it's plenty for 4 servings. However, if you want things a little more substantial feel free to cook more.
- If you are making this for meal prep, I would suggest not cooking the tofu until before serving. It's best (i.e. crispiest) when freshly made.
- Like mentioned above, coat the tofu in batches and ensure the excess cornstarch is shaken off. If not, the tofu will not get the best possible crispy exterior.
Variations & Topping Options for these Tofu Bowls
- Try another base like couscous, rice or bulgar.
- Mix up the greenage with other options like baby spinach, kale or swiss chard
- Edamame
- Rock some beans or lentils, like chickpeas, black beans, navy beans or green lentils for extra fibre
- Green onion or sliced red onion
- Tomato
- Olives
- Hot peppers
- Nuts or seeds
- For another sauce try sriracha or a vinaigrette

Borough upgrades old response equipment
April 5, 2018
The Petersburg Borough recently installed two emergency sirens in the area while the EMS team is looking forward to a new vehicle.
Sandy Dixson, the fire department and EMS director, said the borough is getting a new ambulance in May. One of the two operating ambulances was over 20 years old, and the borough has intended to replace it in the last two budget cycles. Dixson said it will cost about $187,000, which will be paid through the motor pool fund, a vehicle replacement pool that departments contribute to every year.

Two victims slain near Crosstown Concourse were both 18 years old, say police
Six people were shot, two killed and four injured, when gunfire erupted on Watkins and Cleveland across from the Crosstown Concourse Sunday night. Memphis Commercial Appeal
Two victims slain in a Sunday night shooting near Crosstown Concourse were both 18 years old, authorities said Monday.
Memphis police identified Dejuan Hill and Deandre Rogers as the two teenagers killed in a car-to-car shooting that wounded four others when gunmen opened fire near Cleveland and Watkins across from Crosstown Concourse about 9:30 p.m. Sunday.
Hill and Rogers were among six young men and teens riding in the same car when they were shot. The other four victims were 22, 19, 17 and 14 years old.
Related: 5 things to know about the fatal shooting near Crosstown Concourse
Two of the wounded were released from the hospital Monday, but others including the 14-year-old remained hospitalized, said police spokesman Louis C. Brownlee. No one was in custody in the shootings Monday afternoon. Brownlee urged people to call Crime Stoppers at 901-528-2274 with information regarding the shooters.
"Quit giving them the comfort of not telling what you know." Brownlee said.
Police released video of the shooting that shows two sedans driving southbound side-by-side appearing to cross the overpass for North Parkway. Brownlee said the sedan on the left of the screen is the victims' vehicle, while the shots were fired from the car on the right.
The video shows flashes between the vehicles — Brownlee said they're muzzle flashes from the gunshots.

Investigators said the suspected gunmen and the victims possibly knew each other, but have not provided any further details about the shooting.
Crosstown Concourse is a mixed-use development that turned an enormous vacant Sears building into a space featuring living, working, medical, exercise and shopping facilities.
The organization's leadership posted a statement Monday on Twitter.
"Last night, a car chase that began in (North) Memphis resulted in a shooting. Six victims were found in their car when it stopped across from Concourse," the statement says.
"We are deeply saddened by this event and for the victims and their families. At the same time, we want you to know that your safety is our highest priority. Although the incident did not occur at Concourse, building management and our security team are working closely with MPD's investigation."
The streets in the area were shut down Sunday night for hours as detectives combed the scene for evidence.

This past weekend I traveled to Chicago to go to a Notre Dame Game with my husband and his best friend. It was epic, as tailgating and watching a college football game often is.
But as I was packing for the trip I noticed that I was writing down a checklist of things to have for my flight. Of course, these items didn't include the most important things that would actually get me ON the flight (ticket) and TO Chicago successfully (credit card and license), because for some reason that's not where my mind goes to when writing a list of the things I HAVE to have on my flight.
For me, the most important things in my bag are items that help make the flight a healthy and occupied one. Here I am focusing on keeping it a "healthy" flight because I just need a good book and I am occupied for hours. Continue reading "My Must Haves When Flying"
