Followup on the story of the 3 murdered and 1 wounded college students.
A third suspect wanted in connection with the execution-style killings of three college students Saturday night in a Newark schoolyard was taken into custody this afternoon, law enforcement sources said.
The suspect, a juvenile, was removed from a home in Morristown, the sources said. Paul Louriquet, a spokesman for the Essex County Prosecutor's Office, said "there have been developments with a third suspect, but not an arrest."
Investigators believe up to five people participated in the crime, which was chilling enough to thrust New Jersey's largest city into the national spotlight. Jose Larchira Carranza, a 28-year-old illegal immigrant from Peru and a 15-year-old boy are already in custody. Authorities are still looking to question one more adult and one juvenile, law enforcement officials with knowledge of the investigation said.
This morning, Larchira Carranza, who surrendered to authorities Thursday, pleaded not guilty to three counts of murder, attempted murder, robbery, conspiracy to commit robbery and weapons offenses.
During the proceedings at the Essex County Courthouse in Newark, Larchira Carranza's lawyer, Felix Lopez Montalvo, said the defendant does not have a Social Security number and is in the United States illegally. "My client has no documentation," Lopez Montalvo.
In a news conference afterward, Essex County Prosecutor Paula Dow and other officials would not comment about whether prosecutors had reported Larchira Carranza's illegal status to federal authorities after his two previous arrests, which include a charge of child rape.
...
Larchira Carranza, an Orange resident, is married and has a daughter described as 1 or 2 years old. He was facing two sets of criminal charges even before police identified him as a suspect in the Newark triple murder.
According to court records, he was charged with aggravated assault and weapons counts stemming from a bar fight last October. In the more serious case, when he was charged as Jose Larchira, he is accused of repeatedly raping a girl over a four-year period.
The assaults began when the child was almost 5 years old, according to an indictment handed up last month. The alleged attacks ended in January. Larchira Carranza was free on bailWTF!!! and awaiting trial in both criminal cases when he surrendered Thursday. Rest at link.

Anyone care to guess?
Got a feeling it's gonna be a loooooong week in the Essex County Prosecutor's Office...
Actor Leonardo DiCaprio has decided not to campaign for any of the 2008 U.S. presidential candidates, because none of the politicians in the running "inspire" him. The Blood Diamond star, 32, was a staunch advocate of Democratic hopeful Senator John Kerry during 2004's presidential election and even traveled across 14 states to rally support and raise funds for him. But DiCaprio admits the frontrunners for 2008's election - Democratic candidates Senator Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama and Republican Ron Paul - have yet to catch his attention with their environmental policies.
New campaign song for the Ron Paul-ites: Near... far... whereever you are... I believe that the heart does go on...

The political equivalent of the sinking of the Titanic.

You know, in some ways it would be cool to live in an America where Ron Paul could be a front runner. I certainly don't agree with him about the war, but slashing the size of government....

There's no question in my mind why it never caught on. They never came out with the proper accessories to make a bigfoot version or modify it with camo and gun rack.

Blame being placed by MSM on capitalism, global warming, and Bushitler in 5, 4, 3, 2......

It's from generations of abuse by pols who poorly prioritize and misappropriate billions in existing tax revenue flows for pet projects and down home pork. I'm surprised that more of this doesn't happen with greater regularity cause of that. In China some engineer or pol would be literally up against the wall with the Bejing Quality Assurance Program [tm].

Initial reports are the supports may have been undercut by a a series of 'monsoon season' rainstorms (in case you don't live in the desert, think 'deluge').
An 11-year-old girl was rescued yesterday from an attempted under-age marriage at Gopalpur village in Tala upazila as her fellow students took to the streets in protest. The students of Tala Model High School submitted a memorandum to Upazila Nirbahi Officer (UNO) Mohammad Waliullah Mia requesting him to save Putul Rani Das, a student of class six of the school, from an under-age marriage with a 20-year-old youth of a neighbouring village.
The UNO summoned the girl's father, Ganesh Chandra Das, a cobbler, to his office and asked him to cancel the wedding scheduled for next Sunday. Ganesh complied with the UNO's instructions and signed a bond stating that he would not arrange any under-age marriage in future.
Putul on Monday told her classmates that her father fixed the date of her marriage next Sunday, but she dared not protest it. Her classmates tried to persuade her father Ganesh to cancel the wedding in vain. Later, over 200 students of the school took to the streets and submitted a memorandum to the UNO requesting him to intervene on Wednesday. UNO Mohammad Waliullah Mia confirmed the incident.

"And it would have worked too, if it wasn't for those meddling kids!"
Blogger Steve McIntyre of Climate Audit.org noticed a strange discontinuity, or "jump" in many locations while inspecting temperature graphs, which later revealed a Y2K bug in the NASA program. 5 of the 10 warmest years on record now all occur before World War II.

It may in fact be the case that a) we are in a warming period and b) it is accelerated or enhanced to some (perhaps significant) degree by human activity.
But the data being used and the models that have been constructed aren't nearly as clearcut as the Gorebots feel they should be. The whole issue has been politicized to the point of being nearly hopeless to untangle.
Been re-reading William Ruddiman's Plows, Plagues & Petroleum this summer. Ruddiman (a highly respected paleo-climatologist) argues that humans have been influencing the climate since the start of agriculture 8000 years ago - to the point of having cut short an impending cold age. But he makes his case through careful review of a variety of data and by showing how it improves the ability of climate models to 'predict the past', i.e. to make sense of what we know did happen. Which (unlike data 'smoothing') is responsible science.
it has a negligible effect (2nd digit to the right of the decimal point) on the standard global records
Which demonstrates how tiny the difference is between the warmest year on record, the coldest year on record and the length of our entire dataset in geologic terms. The problem, of course, is that people without scientific training - or scientists angling for research grants - have little valid perspective from which to make policy.

Truth be damn, it's the grant money that's the thing. I wonder if the world would end if we had a five year moratorium on any research grant monies?

Hansen's opinions and his science have been suspect for some time because of his politics and his connections to rock stars like Gore, et. al.. This is first time someone caught a systematic flaw in his methodology. The error does not explain all of the "trend". However, if you add the "heat island" effect regarding the siting of modern instrumentation, and the measured increase in the solar constant that explains 35-50% of the rise in temperature....CO2/man-made warming dissolves into the noise.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
