I found this picture on Copyranter's blog, but it was too big to post here. He has a link back to the original, which is even bigger.

I shrunk and saved a smaller version to post here because... well, I think you all should see it, and I doubt you'd all click through.

A moviegoer at the midnight premiere of ‘The Dark Knight Rises’ claims he saw someone prop open the emergency exit door that the gunman entered through.
Although police initially thought ‘Dark Knight’ alleged shooter James Holmes acted alone, a witness told CBS that the shooter may have had an accomplice.


“As I was sitting down to get my seat, I noticed that a person came up to the front row, the front right, sat down, and as credits were going, it seemed like he got a phone call,” the witness told CBS. “So he went out toward the emergency exit doorway, which I thought was unusual to take a phone call. And it seemed like he probably pried it open, or probably did not let it latch all the way.”

The witness believes the person who took the phone call may have propped open the emergency exit door, making it easy for the shooter to enter the theater.

“As soon as the movie started, somebody came in, all black, gas mask, armour, and threw a gas can into the audience, and it went off, and then there were gunshots that took place,” the witness said.

Although the witness’ claim could point to an accomplice in the ‘Dark Knight’ shootings, police are still focusing on James as the only suspect.

“All the evidence we have, every single indicator, is that this was all Mr. Holmes’s activity,” police chief Daniel Oates told CBS. “He wasn’t particularly aided by anyone else.”

It's true. Modern scientific research proves it. Music is getting louder and more lame BY THE DAY!

Pop music too loud and all sounds the same: official

LONDON, July 26, 2012 (Reuters) — Comforting news for anyone over the age of 35, scientists have worked out that modern pop music really is louder and does all sound the same.

Researchers in Spain used a huge archive known as the Million Song Dataset, which breaks down audio and lyrical content into data that can be crunched, to study pop songs from 1955 to 2010.

A team led by artificial intelligence specialist Joan Serra at the Spanish National Research Council ran music from the last 50 years through some complex algorithms and found that pop songs have become intrinsically louder and more bland in terms of the chords, melodies and types of sound used.

"We found evidence of a progressive homogenization of the musical discourse," Serra told Reuters. "In particular, we obtained numerical indicators that the diversity of transitions between note combinations - roughly speaking chords plus melodies - has consistently diminished in the last 50 years."

They also found the so-called timbre palette has become poorer. The same note played at the same volume on, say, a piano and a guitar is said to have a different timbre, so the researchers found modern pop has a more limited variety of sounds.

Intrinsic loudness is the volume baked into a song when it is recorded, which can make it sound louder than others even at the same volume setting on an amplifier.

The music industry has long been accused of ramping up the volume at which songs are recorded in a 'loudness war' but Serra says this is the first time it has been properly measured using a large database.

The study, which appears in the journal Scientific Reports, offers a handy recipe for musicians in a creative drought.

Old tunes re-recorded with increased loudness, simpler chord progressions and different instruments could sound new and fashionable. The Rolling Stones in their 50th anniversary year should take note.

I saw the rolling stones tour bus on the freeway.

It was in the left lane going forty miles an hour, and the left turn signal was on for 300 miles.

Snakes like that have a medical cleaver hung by the cages.

It's not for the snake.

Police trying to solve mystery of man found with cache of fake IDs, Boy Scout uniforms, NASA flight suit

Police in Florida are asking for the public's help in the unusual case of Roy Antigua, a 52-year-old man who was found in possession of a cache of fake IDs—including CIA, Coast Guard and hospital badges—medical paraphernalia and a NASA flight suit and space helmet.

"In 20 years, I've never seen anything this elaborate," New Port Richey police Detective Michael Anderson said at a news conference on Monday.

On July 31, police stopped Antigua's black Cadillac Escalade, which had tinted windows, a Department of Homeland Security registration sticker and Coast Guard decals. He was cited for driving with a suspended license. During questioning, Antigua showed police a military ID that turned out to be fake.

A subsequent search of two homes uncovered about 200 suspicious items, New Port Richey Police Chief James Steffens told CNN, including "diplomatic license plates and dozens of fake identification cards from the Department of Homeland Security, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Department of Defense, CIA and NASA," as well as "access badges to hospitals around Florida, doctor and nurse scrubs, a respiratory technician badge, police blue lights and access stickers to Coast Guard bases." Antigua also had at least six Boy Scout uniforms.

"The question remains," WTSP-TV said. "Is Roy Antigua a true threat, a possible danger with the approaching Republican National Convention? Did he have devious plans with all the paraphernalia he possessed? Or was he just living a fantasy?"

"He's definitely strange," Steffens said. "But we need to know if he's truly dangerous."

Steffens said that Antigua, dressed in a Coast Guard uniform, approached him in May during a Memorial Day event. "He blended in and even introduced himself," the Steffens said. "We never knew."

He added: "The best case scenario is he just liked to dress up and wear outfits."More...

According to Fox's Tampa Bay affiliate, local police are working with the Secret Service to determine where Antigua's CIA badge came from.

Antigua—a native of Cuba—is being held in Pasco County Jail for an unrelated probation violation, giving police time to solve the mystery.

"We just want to know what this individual has been involved in," Pasco County Sheriff Chris Nocco said at the news conference. "Has he been committing crimes? What kind of individual would want to dress up like this? That is why we need the public's help."

Bead Window! Bead Window! Repeat, bead window! Deny everything, affirm nothing!
This Roy Antigua is just a lone nut, and don't forget to confiscate and destroy all the evidence!!!
