I told you along time ago to stop betting Jardine and Vera

Actually, Vera's my boy when it comes to betting, whether win or lose:

Vera vs K-Sos: Bet Vera - WIN
Vera vs Couture: Bet Couture - WIN
Vera vs Jones: Bet Jones - WIN

I'm thinking of taking him over Thiago Silva, depending on the line. I think he can win that one.

Damn, what the fuck's wrong with Randy Quaid?

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. – Actor Randy Quaid and his wife are facing burglary charges in California after the owner of the couple's old house reported they had been living there without permission.

A representative of the property owner called Santa Barbara County sheriff's deputies Saturday afternoon to report that squatters had been staying in the guest house illegally. When deputies arrived at the house that evening, they found Randy and Evi Quaid, who said they had owned the property since the 1990s.

The property owner's representative provided documents that showed his client had bought the home in 2007 from a man who had purchased it from the Quaids several years earlier. A contractor showed police more than $5,000 in damages to the guest house that he believed was caused by the Quaids.

Police arrested the Quaids on charges of felony residential burglary and entering a noncommercial building without consent, a misdemeanor. Police also charged Evi Quaid, 47, with resisting arrest.

Bail was set at $50,000 each. Messages left with Quaid's attorney and agent were not immediately returned Sunday.

Last September, the couple was charged with defrauding an innkeeper of more than $10,000 as well as conspiracy and burglary after an invalid credit card was used at San Ysidro Ranch in Montecito.

Senior Deputy District Attorney Arnie Tolks had said an invalid card also was used at The Biltmore, a luxury resort in Santa Barbara.

Felony charges were later dropped against Randy Quaid, 59. Evi Quaid pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor count of defrauding an innkeeper and was sentenced to three years' probation. She was also ordered to perform 240 hours of community service.

Randy Quaid won a Golden Globe Award and was nominated for an Emmy for his portrayal of President Lyndon Johnson in "LBJ: The Early Years," but he's perhaps best known for his roles in the "National Lampoon's Vacation" movies, "Independence Day" and "Kingpin."

He is the older brother of fellow actor Dennis Quaid.

A fast-moving fire south of Salt Lake City, Utah, prompts evacuation of some 1,200 homes


CAMP WILLIAMS -- Crews are working to contain a large, fast-moving fire burning at Camp Williams Sunday. At least 1,262 homes in Herriman have been evacuated.

Fire officials have confirmed three homes have caught fire, but did not give specific addresses. That number could grow overnight.

Herriman City Mayor Josh Mills has declared a state of emergency. Gov. Gary Herbert and Salt Lake County Mayor Peter Corroon are both on site with Mayor Mills.

Unified Fire Capt. Brad Taylor says residents of 232 homes in The Cove at Herriman Springs and all 500 homes in the High Country Estates II subdivision are under mandatory evacuation. The city has now expanded the mandatory evacuation order to all homes south of Emmeline Drive, Butterfield Parkway and Blackridge Reservoir, as well as everything on Rose Canyon Road.

Also included in the evacuation zone, anything south of 14000 South and west of 5575 West. Westbound 13400 South at 5600 West is shut down as well.

Officials are asking residents in Salt Lake County to stay off their cell phones so emergency information can be transmitted. Residents are asked not to call 911, but to instead call Herriman City Hall at 801-446-5323. Updates are also available on Twitter at Be Ready Herriman.

This is fucked up.

I'll say two things:

1. I respect and admire the courage of anyone who continues to be an active journalist in such an environment. Knowing that any day you could be killed and yet you carry on anyway in an attempt to expose the truth. That's incredible.

2. The newspaper should know that they can't give in to intimidation. I think instead they should arm their journalists with about 20 lbs of firepower and send them out in groups.

CIUDAD JUAREZ, Mexico – The biggest newspaper in Mexico's most violent city will restrict drug war coverage after the killing of its second journalist in less than two years, just as international press representatives will urge the government to make security for journalists a national priority.

In a front-page editorial Sunday, El Diario de Juarez asked drug cartels warring in this city across from El Paso, Texas, to say what they want from the newspaper, so it can continue its work without further death, injury or intimidation of its staff.

"Leaders of the different organizations that are fighting for control of Ciudad Juarez: The loss of two reporters from this publishing house in less than two years represents an irreparable sorrow for all of us who work here, and, in particular, for their families," the editorial said. "We ask you to explain what you want from us, what we should try to publish or not publish, so we know what to expect."

It was the newspaper's second front-page editorial since gunmen attacked two El Diario photographers Thursday — one a new employee and the other an intern. The new employee, Luis Carlos Santiago, 21, died and the intern was seriously wounded as they left their office to have lunch. In 2008, a crime reporter for El Diario was slain outside his home as he was taking his daughters to school.

At least 22 Mexican journalists have been killed over the past four years, at least eight of them targeted because of their reports on crime and corruption, says the Committee to Protect Journalists, a U.S.-based media watchdog group that plans to present its report to Mexican President Felipe Calderon on Wednesday. At least seven other journalists have gone missing and more have fled the country, the report says.

Many media outlets, especially in border areas, have stopped covering the drug war. Until Sunday, El Diario was not one of them.

"Even in one of the places where violence is worst ... El Diario was still doing a lot of good reporting on crime," said Carlos Lauria, a CPJ senior coordinator. "The fact that they're giving up is really bad. It's an indication that the situation is out of control."

Calderon's Interior Ministry condemned the killing hours after the shooting, calling it an attack on freedom of expression for all Mexicans and saying that federal authorities are involved in the investigation.

But both front-page editorials accused the government of doing nothing about the intimidation and assaults on journalists by drug cartels.

The El Diario editorial Sunday said it addressed its plea to the drug gangs because they are now the city's de facto authorities. It also said Calderon made several promises as a candidate to protect journalists that have not been fulfilled.

Violence between two warring cartels in the past two years has killed nearly 5,000 people in this city of 1.3 million people, making Ciudad Juarez one of the world's most dangerous cities.

"We don't want to continue to be used as cannon fodder in this war because we're tired," Diario's editor, Pedro Torres, told The Associated Press on Sunday.

He said his staff felt great rage, helplessness and despair after burying Santiago on Saturday. "Burying the body does not bury the impunity or pain," he said.

The report released earlier this month by the Committee to Protect Journalists said Mexico's "federal government has failed to take responsibility for widespread attacks on free expression," noting that less than 10 percent of crimes against news media have been successfully prosecuted.

The report also said some Mexican journalists have been corrupted by the cartels.

The committee is urging Calderon to make attacks on news media a federal crime and create a government committee to protect threatened journalists. It also calls for giving more autonomy to Mexico's federal special prosecutor for crimes against reporters — an office that the media group calls ineffective.

"We now have criminal organizations trying to directly influence and battle for the control of information and this has become a national crisis," Lauria, the CPJ coordinator, said Sunday. "It has gone way beyond the press and affected the fundamental rights of thousands of Mexicans."
