A United States Marine Was Kidnapped By Los Zetas Drug Cartels In Mexico, What Are Your Thought On This?

im asking everyone but if your in the military or law enforcement please let me know i am especially interested in your opinion. i live less than 4 miles from the mexican american border and see first hand how powerful and dangerous these guys can be, the violence from these cowards has hit close to home on different occasions, and due to the bad choices of a night club owner i used to work for (i was a bus boy) i’ve even come face to face with them (i was close enough to kill but my moral side held me back) i wont say why i hate these guys so much but if you do some research you”ll probably hate them to. they’ve decapitated raped and have forced people to watch there loved ones die in gruesome ways. there was even one story where they forced a 13 year old kid not even affiliated with the cartel to decapitate 2 other kidnapped prisoners… i have my own personal reasons for despising these animals but i will try not to let that influence the rest of my life. um anyway i saw this story and wondered if it would put pressure on the us government to try and help out our local law enforcement (which i dont know how much to trust because there have been some local stories popping out about how two of our county sheriffs and 9 Federal I.C.E. agents were found to be helping the cartels) we already have some fedral agencies helping us but we need way more funding and we need more border patrol guys. its basically civil war happening just a few miles down the road, we could even hear gun shots from a battle happening between the cartel and mexican army at our university (which is pretty close to the river that divides usa and mexico) the chpppers are up every night sometimes so close to the ground my house vibrates, once or twice a week our cops manage to find a truck load of drugs and they chase these guys but all they have to do is drive back to the river where boats are already wating for them with platoon sized groups armed with military grade weapons and the cops kinda just fall back once the bad guys back up shows up, they then simply load the trucks drugs onto the boats and end of story the bad guys keeps their drugs and they get away. ok i realize im strayying from the subject but i just wanted some feed back from americas law enforcment and military on our situation. i truly hope this marine makes it home but most of the people taken by these guys dont. and i dont know if it matters or not but yes i am a hispanic american but im not those proud to be mexican types with baggy pants im a pretty normal american and i love this land.

Case Method, Help Me Find The Main Problem ?

SITUATION
The Golden Bay Star Hotel was developed by a group of investors in the
late 1970s to be the premier luxury property of its type in the Bay Area.
The location in downtown was chosen for its proximity to the financial
district and art gallery community.
In its early years of operation, the Golden Bay Star enjoyed modest
success. But the ownership felt that better performance was possible.
They decided that name recognition was what they lacked. By 1982 the
ownership decided to affiliate the hotel with a national luxury management
company. The hotel and management company signed an agreement
that was renewable every five years.
For the next few years, the Star (as it is called) experienced record
revenue performance. The boom in the financial markets was reflected in
strong transient and group demand at high rates. The art market was
experiencing strong interest from individual and institutional inventors
from across the world. Auctions and other meetings were traditionally
held at the Star. All parties involved were satisfied with the arrangement.
By the late 1980s, accelerated hotel construction in the vicinity of the
hotel began to manifest itself. Properties of all product types and sizes began
to pop up all around the Star. Newly developed hotel concepts (the extended
stay and all suite) started to vie for the traditional business of the Star.
After several years of declining performance, the hotel owners began
to get nervous. They needed to know why they were in this situation and
how it would be remedied. The ownership sent a representative, Tom
Anderson, to the hotel to monitor the situation. Tom met with the hotel’s
general manager, Shelly Burns. Shelly had been at the hotel for 10 years.
She had been on board for the period of exceptional performance, so
naturally as the leader, she had been lauded. She was not used to being
in the position of having to explain poor performance.
Shelly Burns was a “hands on” general manager. She involved herself
in all aspects of operations and sales. She was so involved in sales
and marketing, she saw no need for a change. They had never needed to
advertise, and the sales office seemed to run itself. After all, she could
make those decisions if need be, so why incur the extra salary costs?
The senior sales person at the Star, Frank Nevins, had been on staff
since the opening of the property. He had long enjoyed a healthy relationship
with the local financial community. His contacts were renowned,
and he spent a great deal of time cultivating those relationships.
Tom asked Shelly to take a good look at the current state of the hotel.
He needed to report back to the owners and wanted a solid plan from the
hotel as to how it would improve performance. The owners were in the
fifth year of their current management contract and needed to act quickly.
He gave her one week to come up with a plan.
DISCUSSION
If you were Shelly, what would you do? This case presented background
on a fictional hotel, but these situations occur every day. As a group, or as
assigned, develop a plan for the Star. What factors should you take into
consideration?

What Is The Possibility That I Can Be Rich By Doing The Following?

1.) Be very professional at making websites.
2.) Make a very good quality official looking website that promotes more than 300 products (Affiliate marketing) and have each and every product with a review and a “Click here” link that would take them to the product owner website.
3.) Get free traffic generation strategies and ways to make a little traffic.
4.) After making a good amount of traffic that makes me lets say at least $10,000 in a few months, then I invest all what I made in very famous paid advertisement like Google Ad-Words and Yahoo and be in the top off these famous websites, and get visited by people who would look attracted to the official looking, top ranked website in Google and Yahoo.
So the only investment I could count is hosting a website which is what!? $10, $100 dollars a months!? into millions, it’s sound to good to be true, but I don’t see anything that makes it untrue.
So, what is the possibility that I can make millions and buy the dream car in my profile picture and a lifestyle if I followed these steps carefully? 😉

Which Of These Two Characters Should Wear The Wizard Hat?

I am writing a sword art online fanfiction involving my own characters. The story is going to take place in the original Sword Art Online during the first ark. As those of you who know what SAO is, there is no magic in the first game. As such, I thought I would make a joke by having one of these two characters wear a wizard hat; however, I am having trouble deciding which one would be more fitting.
Name: Leaf
Backstory: He’s a 15 year old American tourist who went to Japan with his Father; who was on a business trip. While there, he decided he would try the brand new Sword Art Online, virtual reality MMO; and ended up getting trapped in the game like everyone else.
After a year long time skip. He is shown to have become a highly successful thief within the game. His basic MO is to hit his targets with paralysis poison, open a trade window, take their stuff, then drop them off at a “safe spot” near town. Despite being a non-PKer he has an unusually high bounty that even rivals some of the lesser Laughing Coffin members.
Appearance: He is described as being lightly built, with medium length jet black hair and dark brown eyes, and tanned skin.
Personality: He is a complete jackass and even admits to being a narcissist. Throughout the story, he shows a very snarky and sarcastic sense of humor. He is also shown to have very loose morals, and even resorts to using trickery to get ahead within the game.
Combat Abilities: Unlike most players, Leaf has focused his stats on his speed and evasion, rather than actual combat. He has completely maxed out his hiding ability which in combination with a special item; he is even able to hide from characters that have top perception. Preferring ranged abilities over melee, he has invested a large amount of points in his throwing skill; and is especially good with poisoned daggers.
His absolute best ability however, is his alchemy. Leaf spends much of his time running experiments, and trying to perfect different formulas. As a result, he holds a number of gadgets such as; smoke bombs, flash bombs, flammable liquids, poisons, and so on.
————————————-
Name: Raisa
Backstory: She is a spunky 17 year old girl, and a major detective sloof. As was one of the top beta testers in the game, she has used her extensive knowledge of the game in order to get ahead of other players. She had initially joined the game along with her younger brother; however, due to her own overconfidence, he had been killed during an ambush by Laughing Coffin. She herself only survived only through the intervention of Kirito who had stumbled upon the event by chance. Since then, she has become a legendary bounty hunter; and has taken it upon herself to hunt down and exterminate as many PKs as she can, especially those affiliated with Laughing Coffin.
Appearance: She is described a medium height teenager, with dark brown hair and bright blue eyes. Her in game attire consists of a blood red armored dress, which along with her weapon of choice, has earned her nicknames such as; the Scarlet Maiden, and the Crimson Reaper.
Personality: She is described as extremely eccentric, and has used her detective level deductive reasoning skills to track down and kill; high ranking members of PK and bandit guilds, on several occasions. What she prides herself most on, however; is her combat abilities, and has even claimed to be the best female player in the game; despite it being well known that she had lost a duel with Asuna from the Knights of Blood.
When first meeting Leaf, she initially had a very low opinion of his abilities. Since then however, she has developed an almost obsessive goal of capturing him; as she considers him the only other player resourceful enough to keep up with her. Leaf has accused her on several occasions of being a tsundere, but she has firmly denied it.
Combat Abilities: Her fight style is described as aggressive and unpredictable. She utilizes a long scythe like pole arm, which she uses to hook and disarm her opponents. Her special attack is what she has dubbed; the “scythe dance”, which makes use of wide ranged spinning motions that allow her to attack and defend at the same time.
