Gangs are acquiring high powered, military-grade weapons more frequently, according to the latest National Gang Intelligence Center Report. And FBI and law enforcement officials suggest gang members -- both enlisted and those working at military bases as contract civilians -- may be funneling the firearms to their street-level counterparts... As of April of this year, the NGIC has identified gang members from 53 gangs who are serving in the military. Members of 37 of those gangs -- including the notorious 18th Street and Mara Salvatrucha 13 -- have infiltrated the Army. Twenty-eight gangs have been identified within the Marine Corps' ranks and five in the Air Force... According to the latest NGIC report released last month, gang members are getting their hands on a variety of military-grade weapons including rifles, grenades, artillery rounds and even body armor...
Note: The article shows a Black soldier flashing a 'gang sign', but I'm here to tell you that it could very well be an 'Aryan Nation' type just as well. The article does mention the 'Hammerskins', too... Altogether, very scary...

If some Christian groups get their way, Johnny Depp will end up with a lump of coal in his stocking this Christmas.
The "Pirates of the Caribbean" star has enraged at least two religious organizations by contributing vocals to the song "Jesus Stag Night Club" by the British band Babybird.
The song, which recasts the Son of God as a booze-chugging party animal who revels in driving stolen cars and facilitating bachelor parties, begins with the lyrics, "Saw a man in a bar with his hair like a lady/ Bloody thorns round his ear like he was a crazy/ He had holes in his hands and a cross for a spine/ Crushed a berry in his Perrier and called it wine."
For some reason, this has raised the hackles of some religious folk.
It may seem like a long 13 years after his death that Ted Hughes was honoured in Poets' Corner at Westminster Abbey, but compared with other literary greats like Shakespeare and Byron, the wait was relatively short.
A service will be held on Tuesday to unveil the memorial stone, which features an extract from his poem "That Morning": "So we found the end of our journey, So we stood alive in the river of light, Among the creatures of light, creatures of light."
At Tuesday's ceremony, fellow poet and Nobel Laureate Seamus Heaney will give an address, and six of Hughes' poems will be read, three by actress Juliet Stevenson and three by Heaney.
Worshippers will also hear an extract from a letter Hughes wrote to his then wife, the American poet Sylvia Plath, in 1956, shortly after they married and seven years before she took her own life, aged 30.
Copyrights and images from Marilyn Monroe's first photo shoot sold for $352,000 at an auction that included items from Lady Gaga and John Lennon.
Julien's Auctions spokeswoman Caroline Galloway tells The Associated Press on Sunday that the Monroe photos - taken in 1946 when she was still Norma Jeane Dougherty - were the highlight of the Beverly Hills auction known as "Icons & Idols"
The photos come with negatives and the rare right to sell and distribute them. A judge in September ruled they must be auctioned to settle debts of photographer Joseph Jasgur.

Model Lauren Scruggs was able to respond to voice commands today by moving her arms and legs, less than two days after the 23-year-old walked into the propeller of a small airplane, leaving her body severely mangled.
Scruggs had just got off of a two seater plane at a private airport in McKinney, Texas, Saturday night after looking at Christmas lights when she ran into the plane's propeller. Her left hand, shoulder and face areas were hit.
The model, who also founded a lifestyle magazine, was rushed to Parkland Hospital in Dallas where her left hand was amputated.
She underwent several surgeries over the weekend and is now in stable condition. However the extent of her brain injury is still not known, family spokesperson Janee Harrell told ABCNews.com.
How Scruggs ran into the propeller remains unclear.
Voters in the city of Los Angeles, home to the nation's porn industry, could be asked next year whether condoms should be required in adult film shoots to cut down on sexually transmitted diseases.
The AIDS Healthcare Foundation said on Monday it had submitted about 71,000 signatures, surpassing the required number of 41,000, for a ballot initiative that could go before voters in June 2012.
If the signatures are certified by city officials and a vote is held on the measure, residents would be asked whether to force Los Angeles officials to require the use of condoms on porn sets as a condition for film permits.
The California Division of Occupational Safety and Health has issued over $125,000 in fines against porn producers in the past five years for various violations, but some of those citations are on appeal, according to figures from the agency.
Despite facing fines, most major porn companies continue to shoot without condoms, and some in the industry have argued that using the latex would take away from the fantasy appeal of their product.
The woman accused of burglarizing "Jeopardy!" host Alex Trebek's hotel room in San Francisco this summer won't face a "three strikes" charge that could have sent her to prison for 25 years to life.
The San Francisco Chronicle reported Monday that District Attorney George Gascon doesn't think the nature of 56-year-old Lucinda Moyers' prior offenses calls for a three-strikes prosecution.
Records show Moyers has been convicted of four burglaries since 1990.
Authorities say she broke into Trebek's room at a downtown San Francisco hotel July 26 and stole a bracelet, purse and wallet with $661 in cash.
The Jeopardy host says he tore his Achilles tendon as he tried to chase Moyers.

Martin Sheen is shining a spotlight on a New York prisoner's efforts to get his 1999 murder conviction thrown out.
The actor joined a Manhattan news conference Monday after meeting with inmate Jon-Adrian Velazquez at a suburban prison. Sheen says he believes Velazquez is innocent. He says "the case cries out for justice."
Sheen called his meeting with Velazquez inspirational.
Velazquez was convicted of fatally shooting retired police officer Albert Ward in an underground betting parlor in 1998. Velazquez's lawyers say two key eyewitnesses have since recanted their identifications of him as the killer in a case with no physical evidence.
