DENVER (AP) -- Authorities investigating the death of Colorado's prisons chief have issued an alert seeking two members of a white supremacist prison gang.
El Paso County sheriff's Lt. Jeff Kramer said Wednesday that deputies are seeking 47-year-old James Lohr and 31-year-old Thomas Guolee in connection with the death of Tom Clements. He says their names surfaced during the investigation and the men could be headed to Nevada or Texas.

How To Make Avgolemono, The Winter-Spring Transition Stew
In Greek, ” avgolemono ” means egg-lemon. In practice, it means creamy, cozy, lemony chicken soup.
Image by John Mahoney/Buzzfeed
Looking out the windows of Winter Stew HQ this afternoon, I noticed a lack of gray clouds and oppressive sleet. I explored further. A massive, burning orb had appeared overhead. It seemed to be issuing warmth of its own accord. How strange.
Back inside, I considered life with a source of warmth other than the bubbling pot on the stove and the friends gathered around it. I immediately thought of avgolemono, a Greek stew flavored with lemon and thickened with eggs. Avgolemono is perfectly suited to evenings when you know warmer climes are coming, but haven't quite arrived.
One of the most frequently asked questions submitted to the Stew Desk inbox is "what's the difference between a soup and a stew?" To that question, friends, there is no easy answer. When I think of "stew," I think of a thick, rich liquid, in which are suspended hearty chunks of meat and vegetables cooked until tender and delicious. And since I'm the stew correspondent, what I say goes.
Avgolemono sits squarely in the center of the stew/soup continuum. It's fresh and lemony. But I would argue that there's a whole chicken boiled for an hour, which puts this recipe decisively in stew territory — not to mention the rich broth thickened with creamy beaten eggs. But you can easily omit the chicken and some of the rice, creating a smooth, velvety soup.
Recipe adapted from Max and Eli Sussman's This Is a Cookbook.
INGREDIENTS
1 whole chicken, 3-4 pounds
2 32-ounce containers of good chicken stock (or use homemade!)
1½ cups long-grain white rice (or you can try orzo for extra Greekiness)
4 large eggs, yolks and whites separated
3 lemons, juiced
Chopped fresh parsley for garnish
4 or 5 strips of bacon, fried and crumbled
Kosher salt and ground black pepper
PROCEDURE
1. Rinse the chicken (and remove any gizzards or other fun organs from inside), and put it in a large pot or Dutch oven.

Mickey Mouse Was A Health Nut In The '80s

Watch The Original "Daria" Pilot
Here's the five-minute short the creators made to convince MTV that Daria was the shit.
In "Sealed With a Kick," we get introduced to several of the series' main characters including Daria, Quinn, Jane, Kevin, and Brittany. In this short, Daria lures Kevin into a revenge plot, making him fall for her. In the end, he ends up on a date with Quinn.
The final scene is a total throwback to '90s culture. Quinn's beeper goes off and she demands Kevin to drive her to a pay phone.
In the pilot, the school is simply "Modern Day High."

Cosplayers Have A Message To All Perverts
In response to a growing concern amongst convention goers about the harassment of cosplayers, Photographer Sushi Killer created the “The Beginnings of CONsent” project.
Source: 16bitsirens.com
Last weekend at Wondercon 2013, I began work on a project I have wanted to do for some time now. As many of our readers may know, there has been escalating tension within the convention going community regarding the physical and emotional safety of cosplayers. Last week, cosplayer Meagan Marie spoke out against the people within the gaming industry who treat female cosplayers as pieces of meat, only there for the enjoyment of men. This, and the continued discussion within my circle of cosplay friends has pushed my plans forward, and I now present to you the beginnings of my photo essay, inspired by #IneedFeminismBecause; "CONsent: The Importance of Treating Cosplayers with Respect.

The artist presented everyone with a white board simply reading “Cosplay =/= Consent” and asked them about their experiences of harassment.
