Truck driver helps get abducted girls to safety.
Truck driver Moez Somrani was heading south on Interstate 40 in Oklahoma in late October when his phone went off.
It was an Amber Alert.
Law enforcement agencies across multiple states were looking for a man who had reportedly killed his two sons in Leavenworth, Kan., and abducted his two young daughters.
He was on the run with the girls – and police thought they might be headed to Oklahoma or Texas.
Somrani took in the information, saw the Amber Alert one more time on an electronic billboard, and kept his eyes peeled for a dark-colored Honda Accord.
About 30 minutes later, Somrani's day changed. He spotted a car matching the suspect's vehicle on an exit ramp.
The driver also fit the description of the Amber Alert – but it was a bit too far away for Somrani to be sure. As he pondered whether to make a U-turn to get a better look, the suspect did the work for him.
"Like five minutes after that, I saw the car passing me fast, really speeding you know," Somrani said. "That's when I saw the license plate, and I looked again on my phone to see the license plate, and I was sure it was the car. It's the same license plate as the alert, so right away I called 911."
A state patrol cruiser sped past him shortly after that – and a few miles up the road, Somrani passed by as a trooper was walking up to the vehicle, gun drawn.
The suspect, Donald Ray Jackson Jr., who is now facing capital murder charges, was taken into custody, and the girls were safe.
Many hailed Somrani as a hero, but the truck driver rejects that idea.
"It's my duty to help when I can, and I call on everyone to help when they can because it costs nothing to help and it's part of our daily lives. We help each other. Humans help each other. You help somebody today, you get help tomorrow from a stranger too. You never know." LL

Spanning the Blogosphere
It's been a busy day on the ol' blog, as I attempt to calm my nerves before my cross-continental flight tomorrow. Has travel anxiety ever affected any of you? I used to travel all the time, for vacation, as a kid. When I started working, I used to fly about once a month for business reasons. Sometimes, I'd feel a bit of anxiety about flying and not landing safely, but for the last couple of years I've had a different emotion. Now, I get to the point where I cannot rest before a flight. I have dreams that I am going to miss my flight, or I'm forgetting something important on my way to the airport. It's terrible. I wish I could simply relax and calmly pack my bags and be on my way, like I used to. But instead, I'm left with these fears & uncertainties about what lies ahead. My theory is that I cannot calmly travel without my sweetheart. For some reason, leaving someone behind, or even rushing back for a reunion, makes me about as anxious as a promiscuous male on Maury Povich.
So, here I sit in Andaluzia, trying to get my mind off of tomorrow's 17 hours of travel by reading hot stove reports with the help of Rob Neyer, Buster Olney, and Tim Dierkes's group of writers on MLBtraderumors.com. Without further ado, here are some of the recent stories that I have found of interest...
As mentioned in our latest post, Henry Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle, writes that Buster Posey has a chance to be a regular contributor to the Giants if he can succeed as an infielder.
Jeff Wilson writes that the Rangers may be done shopping this offseason, but they may want to add a right-handed hitting platoon partner for Chris Davis. I would highly suggest that, considering Davis' resume against left-handed pitchers includes 2009 slash numbers of .189 / .235 / .311, with 6 walks and 49 strike outs. That is despicable. According to Frank Thomas, Jermaine Dye is considering retirement, but I think Jon Daniels should be very interested in his services.
Nerd Alert! If you are so inclined, check out this discussion on the advanced pitching stat SIERA.
After reading this Anthony McCarron piece, Yankee fans can look forward to Jorge Posada's successor, Jesus Montero. Similarly, Met fans should be pretty excited about 20% of their games because John Harper reports that Johan Santana is getting pretty close to being on top of his game.
Keeper league roto players take note: David O'Brien writes that baseball's #1 prospect has a very good chance of winning the starting right-field position in Atlanta... Keep in mind, he's only 20-years old, while measuring 6'4" 245lbs.
Everyone agrees the Yankees have a fantastic chance to repeat this season. I think the smart money is on them for 2010. Reading this John Tomase article about the Red Sox reflects that the AL East is scary good.
Speaking of scary good, do American League hitters really want to hear that Zack Greinke is getting an early start to honing his craft for 2010? Sorry, Lincecum fans, but Greinke is probably the best pitcher in baseball.
Hey! Here's a guy that my roto team might end up keeping this offseason... Kyle Blanks has lost weight and looks to be a big time bopper for the Padres.
With reports like this one from Geoff Baker, the Mariners are quickly becoming my 2nd favorite team.
I've always been fascinated, yes fascinated, with how teams construct bullpens. Last summer, I tried writing a post about that very topic, but I couldn't get my mind around the topic in either a micro or macro sense. Here is a nice little piece about how Walt Jocketty has built the Reds 'pen this offseason. The only question remaining is how (not if) Dusty Baker will mess this up?
Getting back to Chris Davis, of the Rangers, this Evan Grant article, mentions that Davis started choking up on the bat with 2-strikes at the end of last season. Davis calls it a "breakthrough". If he can cut down his strikeouts, he should be a very dangerous hitter in that lineup & ballpark.
If you click on only one link in this post, click on this one from the beloved Ernie Harwell.
Actually, if you're only going to click on one link in this post, change it to two and also click here. I love Hal McCoy, Andrew Dawson, and Tony Perez references.
If you're a Cubs fan, like me, you probably don't want to click on this preview of the NL Central. Why not? How about a big photo of Marlon Byrd that will remind you that the Cubs bleeping stink.
White Sox fans rejoice. Ozzie Guillen is reportedly happy with his roster, for once.
I think the Twins will win the AL Central, and the White Sox will be good. While the Tigers have some questions, there is no doubt that Jim Leyland will have them within striking distance next September.
Wrapping up with the World Champs, George King writes that the Yankees are taking a close look at Cuban defector Adeinis Echavarria to be either Derek Jeter's replacement or the center fielder of the future. Staying with Jeter, Tyler Kepner foreshadows a fairly easy new contract negotiation between the team and its Captain.
That ought to keep y'all busy for a while. If you'll excuse me, I'm going to see how FC Barcelona can come back from this 2-0 whole they've fallen into against Atletico Madrid. My cousin Jaime must be furious.

All of us must have worn badges or monograms on their school uniform. A badge is an identification that represents your school and so every time you wear it, you are recognized as a student of a particular school. The school badge stands for the student's identity and also points out to which institution the student belongs. The badges can be customized as per the requirements of the school.
Badges- What do they represent?
The reward badges convey motivational messages to your classmates, to every student of your school and to families and friends at home. Wearing a reward badge sets as positive example to all the other pupils. There is a great range of badges to be found that has specific meaning and essence, which are different from each other. A badge might represent a sports team in school or it might also represent school subjects. Well, a badge can be personalized the way you desire or design it exactly the way you want.
Button Badges– A button badge serves as a fun way of rewarding students and bestowing credit to their achievements. This kind of badge is indeed a long lasting alternative to anything else to celebrate talents of an individual.
Bar badges– Bar badges are yet again another great way of rewarding students in special areas. For instance, a student celebrating his or her birthday on a particular day can wear this badge only for the day. There are anti-bullying and awareness badges too which a student should wear to show his voice against bullying and atrocity.
Shield badges– These are special types of badges meant for rewarding students for special reasons. For instance, if you are part of your games team or a school group or any school team; then the badge will identify so.

Isabella Tobias Lites and Samuel Lites' real-life Cinderella-style wedding is finished with modern flourishes.
Isabella Tobias Lites started ice skating when she was 5. "I saw it on TV and absolutely loved it," the Manhattan native says. By age 8, she had added ballet training to her resume, and she continued studying ballet and ice dancing at the highest level until she was 12.
Samuel Lites, the son of Denise Ilitch and James Lites, also has an affinity for ice — he is an amateur scout for the Detroit Red Wings (which his grandmother owns).
The bride and her girls in silk robes, gifts from Isabella.
It was at a baseball game, however, that the two met. Isabella accompanied a friend to Comerica Park for a Tigers-Yankees game. Clad in the opposing team's garb, Isabella had already endured a bit of heckling from Tigers fans when her friend spotted Lites, a family friend, and they went to say hello. Native Detroiter Lites, of course, wore a cap and jacket emblazoned with the logos of the Tigers (which his grandmother also owns).
Two months into dating, Isabella was scheduled to compete in the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia. "It was really important to me to have him there — he ended up meeting my entire family for the first time at the Olympics.
The chuppah, designed by Emerald City Designs, is embellished with 4,200 white hydrangeas, Champagne "quicksand" roses, pink "sweet Eskimo" roses and punches of greens.
Soon after the Olympics, when Isabella headed to Tel Aviv for a competition, she says, she had an inkling that something was afoot.
In addition to competing at the Olympics, a career highlight for Isabella was performing a routine to music from "Cinderella." "It's very close to me," says Isabella, who, with the help of event planner Ann Owens at Emerald City Designs in Farmington Hills, was inspired to create a magical, Cinderella-style wedding celebration.
Isabella also had a very specific vision of what she wanted for her gown — and when she walked into the Vera Wang shop in New York, she found it hanging by the door.
Officiants: Rabbi Tamara Kolton and Sam's aunt, Pastor Lisa Ilitch Murray, officiated the interfaith wedding.
The Gown: Vera Wang satin-faced organza ballgown with illusion sleeves and dramatic tulle skirt.
Veil: Custom Vera Wang two-tiered cathedral-length, edged in lace and crystals.
Shoes: Manolo Blahnik crystal-embellished blue satin pumps.
Bouquet: White peonies, ivory Playa Blanca roses and white gardenias.
Tux: A black tuxedo by J. Crew; for the reception, the jacket was switched out for a cream dinner jacket, also by J. Crew.
Late-Night Snack: Servers passed out Little Caesars slices and Redcoat Tavern burgers.
Honeymoon: Bora Bora. "We really wanted to relax and spend time with each other," Isabella says.

Citizen Dave: Compromise and flexibility are at the heart of America
by Dave Cieslewicz
Today is the 225th anniversary of the signing of the United States Constitution. It is the product of a long summer of compromises, and has proved to be a flexible document, adaptable to issues that couldn't have been imagined when it was written.
So, it's ironic that the current movement that likes to think of itself as the defenders of the Constitution is so adamantly opposed to any compromise, and believes that the document should be set in amber.
The tea party movement is not the defender of our constitution, but the very antithesis of what it stands for.
Compromise and flexibility are at the center of that document. It wasn't always pretty. In fact, sometimes it was pretty ugly. The southern states, which didn't want to recognize slaves as human beings much less allow them to vote, cynically wanted to count them in their populations so that they could get more representation in Congress. The compromise was to count the slave population as three-fifths of what it really was.
By any measure that was unprincipled. If slaves were property, then how could they be counted even partially as human beings? By locking in higher representation for the slave states, the Constitution guaranteed a long fight to end the peculiar institution. But it worked to get the document approved. If legislating is like sausage making, then the Constitution is smorgasbord.
And the entire issue of slavery was so divisive that the Founders simply punted on it. As the historian Joseph Ellis has pointed out, they might be forgiven some of their other political incorrectness on grounds that they were simply reflecting the mores of their time, but they knew slavery was wrong and they failed to end it. So, it was finally abolished after a bloody civil war, and so the Constitution's failure to deal with our nation's great original sin echoes down to today.
So, the Constitution wasn't a perfect document. It was born with deep flaws but it survives because it contained the means for evolution and change -- it can be amended, and it can be dragged into the present day through court interpretations of its meaning.
On this anniversary, it's good to remind ourselves that compromise and flexibility are at the very heart of the United States of America. Those who disdain those things, whether of the right or left, are truly un-American.

This article is the third in a series that originally appeared in AN's July/August 2018 issue which focuses exclusively on Texas and was guest edited by AGENCY. The rest of the essays will be released in the coming days and examine architecture and practice across the southern border of the United States.
In discussions of the U.S.-Mexico border region, what often gets lost is a full exploration of the geographic and social networks produced by the lives that span it. Taking in the meaning of the U.S.-Mexico boundary, the largest migration corridor in the world, requires an understanding of both ends of the journey as well as what lies in between. One way to do this is to follow the money—in this case, migrant dollars earned in various locations throughout the U.S. that are channeled back to households in Mexico. The economic term for this capital flow is remittances, typically used by political scientists, demographers, and NGOs that investigate how and if remittances alleviate poverty in receiving regions. I follow this capital flow to its material conclusions as manifested in migrant hometowns. The "remittance house," a term I use to describe houses built in Mexico by workers performing unskilled or semiskilled wage labor (or migrants "from below") in the U.S., reveals Mexican pueblos as distant hinterlands of American cities and as critical nodes in our understanding of the U.S.-Mexico borderlands at large.
I first became interested in the remittance house through the stories of my co-workers, Mexican male migrants who lived and worked in Berkeley, California, while investing a portion of their earnings into new homes in Guanajuato, Mexico. The Central Bajío state of Guanajuato and its neighboring state of Jalisco have historically high rates of both emigration and remitting. Economist Paul S. Taylor documented migrants using dollars to build or remodel homes in Jalisco as early as the 1930s. Jalisco is an epicenter of remittance construction that includes homes as well as communally funded public projects like rodeo arenas and cultural centers. Today, Mexico ranks as the world's fourth-largest remittance economy after China, India, and the Philippines, receiving approximately $20 billion dollars annually, and new construction financed by remittance dollars is evident across Mexico's 32 states.
Formally and materially, the remittance house has become a source of curiosity both for people who live in Mexican towns as well as for those peering in from afar. This has to do with the houses' heavily articulated facades that present a dizzying array of representational strategies. Fluted columns, zigzagging concrete cornices, and repetitive pediment-shaped window frames grace facades topped with false fronts that represent gable roofs or brick battlements. These eclectic arrangements clash with the built fabric of small towns composed of adobe or fired brick buildings with teja tiled roofs—towns once marked by uniformity and homogeneity.
In the remittance house, architectural style carries great symbolic weight, as design ideas are pulled from various corners of migrant experiences and journeys. Homes with recessed yards, metal fences, carports, and picture windows are referred to as "estilo Californiano," or "California style." Yet they are hybrid forms, where the image of wooden stick-frame construction is translated into local masonry traditions, supported by migrants' desire to have homes "built to last." New migrant homes have created a maelstrom of commentary throughout small towns. A local architect in Jalisco described the migrant building style as "garigoleado," or excessively adorned, pointing out a lack of rhythm, proportion, and pattern in the use of generic classical ornamentation, while some neighbors described migrant homes as distinctly modern. Whatever their stylistic attribute, the homes, as defined by artist Walterio Iraheta, are autorretratos—or self-portraits—of their makers. They are a material transformation of the built environment directly linked to the interior world of the self.
But the remittance house is not primarily an opportunity for migrants' personal expressions; it is the material manifestation of the specific political and social conditions under which contemporary social mobility and immobility for migrants takes place. Structural inequality, an absence of access to legal documentation in the U.S., and diminishing opportunities for economic and social mobility in the U.S. and Mexico have produced the spaces in which the remittance house becomes a viable, albeit imperfect, option.
To understand these newly constructed homes as imperfect is to ask about the costs and consequences of binational building from below, building a dream home in one place while living and working in another. In order to remit, nuclear families are often separated or fragmented across geographies. For example, mothers and daughters live in a remittance house in Mexico, while fathers and sons work in and send money from the U.S. Meanwhile, elderly parents live in a home built with dollars on a street mostly abandoned or empty due to what neighbors refer to as "the floating population" abroad. Families split by gender or generation incur social and psychological costs as bodies are replaced by dollars, and living at a distance from one's immediate family is normalized.
The project of building a remittance house—of attempting to secure and invest in a future for one's family—is also susceptible to the complexities of living life as a migrant in the U.S. Both documented and undocumented migrants might lose their jobs, build new relationships in the U.S. while attempting to maintain marriages or relationships in Mexico, become responsible for their ill parents in Mexico, or become ill themselves. Undocumented migrants are especially vulnerable as they live under the terror of apprehension, incarceration, and deportation, and are generally unable to return home without incurring great risk. For any number of reasons, homes may be incomplete or abandoned altogether.
Ultimately, the remittance house teaches non-migrants important lessons. They are evidence of migrants' strengths, the discipline required to achieve personal goals. They are evidence of complex social patterns and costs for families fragmented by global capital, and for whom remitting has become a way of life. Scaling up, they are also evidence of the Mexican and U.S. governments' unwillingness to enact binational protections and opportunities for a flexible and exploited labor force that the U.S. economy has depended on for over 100 years. Understanding the remittance house in its messy complexity can cultivate the public's awareness of the extended and complicated spaces that "migrants" are enmeshed in and co-constituting. If Mexican migrants in the U.S. were collectively supported, the term "remittance house" would become obsolete. With the capacity to choose where to live and work, and with the ability to travel, those who built homes in Mexico would join the millions of elite Americans and Mexicans who have second homes or vacation homes. For now, the remittance house captivates, and its meaning reverberates within Mexico and across the Rio Grande.


No, this isnt some deadly dull piece, dont worry, just a touch of my dry, tongue in cheek humour.
I realised today that I dont use any of the so called etiquettes of travelling by public transport, mainly because I'm too polite to do so. But all of these are true events that happened today on 4 trains and 2 buses.
1. Seemingly the most popular, as I saw this so often today, I think it must be the norm.
Take one seat for yourself, take the seat next to it for your handbag, shopping bag, or just about any other item that stops someone else actually sitting on the seat, even if a number of people are standing. Me, I need one seat for myself, and my handbag is quite happy sat on my lap, but…have I got this assumption so wrong? Its not like they actually pay for the second seat or anything like that! Me, on the one train I wasnt going to get a seat on otherwise, not subtle, "Is anyone sat there?" I ask.
Weird thing is, she answers "Yes." but then removes the handbag and I sit down. I assume its either the done thing to say that, or she was incredibly stupid, because 20 minutes later, when the train arrives in Leeds, no one else has tried to claim the seat. I was glared at by her, but thats like trying to melt Antarctica with me! As I said, she wasnt the only one, but some people arent as 'domme' as me, and seemed happy to stand up, just so their poor bags could take the seat instead.
Had this happen on the train coming back tonight, this guy literally shoved his way in front of me on to the train at Leeds, got to the narrow part of the passageway, and stopped. As he showed no signs of being turned into a mannequin by some laser beam, I had no idea why! I asked politely to be let by, but he seemed to have gone mysteriously deaf. Finally, and I do mean finally, when there is only one seat left, he rushes towards it, and takes it, so I'm left standing. I think I worked out why, but not knowing the mysterious way that some men's brains work, I cant be sure. It seems his travelling companion wasnt as pushy as him, and was behind me. For some strange reason, this froze him to the spot, presumably until he was told to move by this other man? I only worked this out when seats became available at Dewsbury, and I was sat opposite this other guy on the train.
Please, if you cant take a seat without permission, just get out of the way and let someone else take it!
3. Dont take the inside seats, have the 2 of you sit on the outside seats, and guard them with your life.
Two old ladies got on the train together at Leeds, luckily for them, before the idiot who shoved in front of me. No, they cant sit together (for whatever reason?) despite the option to do so. They have to sit on the outside seats together, and take a 'thou shalt not pass' attitude to the seats inside them. Irony was, they were still on board when I got off at Huddersfield, but they'd been up and down twice because the people they forced to sit on the inside firstly both got off at Dewsbury, and then their replacements both got off at Huddersfield! They could have sat together, and not moved once, but…!
Funniest one though was not on any of the trains, it was on the bus coming back out of Huddersfield to home tonight.
A woman got on at my stop with one of those baby buggy things, placed it correctly in the space so that a second one could easily fit in, and went and sat down. Next stop, the other main one in town, another woman with a buggy gets on. Plenty of room to park it, but oh no, she wasnt having that. Hers had to go in sideways according to her logic, and that meant the other buggy had to be moved. First woman wasnt having that, she'd parked it correctly (and indeed had) and it wasnt going anywhere. To say they nearly came to blows over this is no exagerration! Finally the second woman slammed her buggy in (sort of side on), grabbed her baby, and stormed off the bus and sat down. First woman then proceeded to pull her buggy across the bus (blocking half the aisle), and glaring incessantly at her, and both were still in that state of war when I got off 10-15 minutes later.
Clearly I am far too easy going, and non agressive for travel by public transport, I must learn from these fine examples lol!
The choice of song, not really a favourite of mine as such, but so suitable for today.

Silver Medal Challenge International Bordeaux.
Our parents created this cuvee in 1982. Precursors,they started to age their best wines in barrels and after multiple tests, they found the best blend for this full-bodied and generous cuvee.
Located at 50 Kms north of Mediterranean sea, our vineyard is at the foothills of Caroux and Espinouse. The geological diversity of the soils which composed the domain represents a unique range.
Traditional Vinification : The whole vintage was hand picked and sorted in the vineyard, then all grapes from the 3 varieties were destemmed. The wines were vinified at high tempertature with a long maceration. Daily pumping-over and delestage.
After its malo-lactic fermentation, this cuvee was blended and aged 14 months in barrels (25 % new oaks) until bottling in Spring 2015.
The wine has a deep red robe, followed by a complex nose, displaying ripe fruit and spices. Voluptuous in mouth, it unveils fleshy silky tannins.
This cuvee is characterised by its black fruit and spices.
Enjoy this cuvee as early as the beginning of autumn. Try roast veal with chanterelles, chicken with morels or matured cheeses.
Need cellaring (3 to 5 years).

Q: VS Publish Profiles - Is there a way to link the application pool without setting the "IncludeIisSettings" option to true? To give some context, I'm publishing 3 web applications in the same server, and each of them uses a different application pool.
What I want to achieve, is to generate the deploy package with instructions to link the app to a specific already created application pool during the deploy.
So far, I have added the following parameters in the publish profile xml file:
<Project ToolsVersion="4.0" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003">
  <PropertyGroup>
    <IncludeAppPool>True</IncludeAppPool>
    <IncludeIisSettings>True</IncludeIisSettings>
   ...

In addition I have added a Parameter.xml file to the project with the parameter to set a default value for the application pool to be linked:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<parameters >
  <parameter name="Application Pool Name" description="Application Pool for this site" tags="" defaultValue="AppPoolNameXXX">
    <parameterEntry kind="DeploymentObjectAttribute"
                    scope="application"
                    match="/application/@applicationPool" />
  </parameter>
</parameters>

This configuration works as expected, however, because of the IncludeIisSettings parameter, it requires to have IIS installed in the Build Continuous server (team city), and I don't like that.
My understanding (I might be completely wrong about his) is that whatever you put in the parameters file, gets applied to the archive.xml file located inside the package, which during deployment is used to set information on the installed app.
So, in the case of the application pool, if the archive.xml does not have an "application" tag, the parameter does not work, because there is nothing to overwrite.
This "application" tag right now is generated thanks to the IncludeIisSettings parameter.
Is there another way to generate this "application" tag on the archive.xml without having the IIS dependency?
Thanks in advance for your help.
