...military calls a "maximum security, semi-permanent, hardened facility." Thick cement walls loom over the tropical landscape. Inside are two-story cellblocks branching out from a guard station. Thick metal doors seal tiny cells; no one but Military Police can see in or out except for surveillance on closed-circuit television...
...gang held a bank employee's wife and child hostage while they rifled the safe. But don't expect all this to start a trend. Among villains, bank raids are old hat. The tricky thing about robbing banks is, you have to actually go somewhere (risking witnesses and closed-circuit-television cameras) and steal things that have a real weight and presence, like jewels or money. These days, it's easier and safer by far to sit in some semitropical Margaritaville, fire up the laptop and do a bit of identity theft or credit-card fraud. Banks are for those...
...course, flying down on his right ski before regaining control. As far as skiing goes, it was a spectacular recovery. As far as outcomes, it was another dud. Miller was spotted after the race skiing out of the area toward the mobile home he lives in on the winter circuit. He has also been seen at nightspots in Sestriere, even bussing the requisite Playboy Playmate, a type that shows up at the Olympics just like those annoying mascots.

Still, John Glynn, the circuit-court judge who signs many of the city's body attachments, says the system works better when witnesses testify voluntarily instead of being coerced by the court.

Baltimore, like many state and local governments, lacks the resources to protect witnesses after they have testified. The Baltimore witness-assistance program used to be called witness protection, but with a shoestring budget and local motels doubling as witness safe houses, officials realized they couldn...
With the recent release of their cheekily-monikered "Elf-Titled" album, the Advantage have brought legitimacy to a style of music dubbed "Nintendocore," becoming the first group in this genre to take covers of classic 8-bit theme songs past the LAN-party circuit. Featuring drummer Spencer Seim from post-hardcore savants Hella, the group legitimizes the project in part with their impressive underground cred. The songs on the album range from spazzed-out level select ditties to "Kraid's Lair," a haunting boss theme from the classic NES game "Metroid." Regardless of origin, all the tracks burst...
