RIM published a post on their Inside BlackBerry for Business Blog this morning, regarding jailbreaking (aka "rooting"). BlackBerry PlayBook and future BlackBerry 10 owners will want to take note of this one, as it outlines RIM's official stance on jailbreaking:
To be clear, RIM recommends against installing any jailbreaking tool. Customers who use a jailbreaking tool on BlackBerry products void the manufacturer warranty and also increase the long-term risk of negatively impacting the stability and user experience of their BlackBerry products.
To my knowledge, this is the first time we have seen RIM say that jailbreaking voids warranty. Jailbreaking has less of an allure these days since the OS 2.0 update has been released for the PlayBook, since Android Apps can now be easily sideloaded onto the PlayBook without having to first jailbreak the device. In the article, RIM further outlines the process they take in addressing security vulnerabilities. Keep reading for all the details and be sure to join the discussion on this one in the forums.
Original Post
How We Manage Jailbreak Issues
I'm Adrian Stone, and I am the Director of the BlackBerry Security Incident Response Team (BBSIRT) here at Research In Motion. The BBSIRT is responsible for responding to potential security issues and investigating vulnerability claims that may impact RIM's products. Security is a priority for our customers, and that's why I'll be contributing regularly to this blog. For my first post, I want to provide some insight into how we investigate and respond to jailbreak-related reports.
"Jailbreaking", or gaining root access to a device, has become common place in both the mobile and gaming industries. Essentially, gaining this deeper level of access to the core functions of the device allows the user to do things not originally intended by a manufacturer, such as install software outside of "official" channels. Unfortunately, gaining this level of root access may increase the security risk. For this reason, most device manufacturers, including RIM, strongly discourage jailbreaking while understanding that whole communities exist for just that purpose. At RIM, we take these issues very seriously. Let's walk through how we assess and respond to jailbreaking reports.
From a user perspective, there are two primary ways to jailbreak a device. First, there is the method where the user voluntarily makes changes that require: a) the device to be tethered to a computer; b) access to an authorized user account on the device; and c) may even require the user to make changes to the device's default settings by putting it into developer mode (which can also compromise security). This method cannot be used by remote attackers to compromise user data or the integrity of the device as it requires both possession of the device and valid user credentials for the device. The second method involves less interaction on the user's part. For example, a software bug may be exploited from a web page to gain root access to any mobile device and not require any interaction from the user except visiting the page.
On hearing reports of a jailbreak for a BlackBerry product, the BBSIRT will quickly triage the underlying issue and method used to perform the jailbreak. If it falls into the first category, where extensive user interaction is required, we will seek to address it in a future software update. If it falls into the second category (where a vulnerability is exposed with little to no user interaction), that is an indication of a more serious underlying issue and will most likely result in the release of a security update to address it as soon as possible. When this happens, my team publishes a security advisory or notice. These notifications typically offer an assessment of the issue and the required steps customers should take to resolve the vulnerability.
To be clear, RIM recommends against installing any jailbreaking tool. Customers who use a jailbreaking tool on BlackBerry products void the manufacturer warranty and also increase the long-term risk of negatively impacting the stability and user experience of their BlackBerry products. Use of a jailbreaking tool could also amplify the impact and severity of a future security issue, making your personal data more vulnerable to theft and more difficult to protect. If new jailbreaks for BlackBerry products are reported, rest assured that we will evaluate them and take appropriate action to help protect customers.
But the best actions you can take to protect your BlackBerry products are also pretty simple to follow: 1) keep your BlackBerry software up to date; 2) don't install jailbreaking tools; and 3) don't install software from unauthorized or unverified sources.

chill RIM!! dingleberry boy no care about waranty for sure ~!
they will keep do more research on pb what will them can port into their pb with dingleberry..haha
Adhamalghamdi Mar 21, 2012 at 11:13 am
but PB owners will care, and thats the point of RIM's post
efd2051 Mar 22, 2012 at 12:47 am
wow - don't honestly know how to feel about this. On one hand I never condoned jailbreaks of iphones, but BB playbook was/is such garbage, that I was glad someone was trying. Certainly RIM has not been able to make much difference.

Don't do the crime if you can't do the time...
world traveler and former ceo Mar 21, 2012 at 11:30 am
+100 .. i support RIM 100 percent on this .... makes sense.
npunk42 Mar 21, 2012 at 11:08 am
This is supposed to be news? Of course it voids the warranty. What did you expect? You can monkey around with the deepest levels of the OS and expect RIM to pick up the pieces when you mess something up? Where is the sport in that?
EchuOkan1 Mar 21, 2012 at 2:04 pm
Correct, that is how it usually works. Do any modifications to your car by installing chips to get more horsepower or tune your engine and you will find yourself in the same situation.
joski Mar 21, 2012 at 11:16 am
I always thought Dingleberry was retarded but I have to give credit where credit is due:
If it weren't for Dingleberry, since the "de-brick" didn't work via DM, I wouldn't have been able to security wipe and downgrade to 1.08 prior to the official OS2 (not Warp ;)) drop.
But, let's leave the rooting nonsense to the Android and iOS devices.
Darlaten Mar 21, 2012 at 11:18 am
Research in Motion should be sounding off and explaining why it supports censorship by blocking magazines listed as PG-13/Mature from being viewed on the Playbook.
Or put another way, why does RIM think that a "professional" tablet can be good enough for people responsible for billion dollar businesses yet those same people obviously need to be protected from PG-13 content. Oh the horrors!
Rootbrian Mar 21, 2012 at 7:08 pm
All you have to do is adjust the parental controls or TURN THEM OFF. RIM doesn't have to do anything. If the BEST administrator made that change, realize you can't do squat to change them.
mythdraug Mar 21, 2012 at 11:19 am
Ah, but the real question is.
If you root then de-brick prior to filing a warranty claim, can they tell that you had previously rooted?
Dreadramon Mar 21, 2012 at 11:19 am
RIM can say this, but this is not true for a big part of the warranty. It might void warranty in some cases. But f.e. if you case cracks because of manufacturing errors, they will have to repair this under warranty, since jailbreaking has absolutely not influence on the case. Ofcourse there are grey area's in this matter, but RIM will have to prove that the damage was done by the user (by jailbreaking in this case). So it is not voided by default.
guerllamo7 Mar 21, 2012 at 11:19 am
The way I read this article, as long as I have a password on my Playbook and I don't visit weird/untrusted sites and download stuff from them, there is no known way for someone to break into my Playbook and steal my confidential information. Is this correct?
I have used developer mode to sideload android stuff but provided this .bar files are clean it is still secure in my view. Is this your assesment as well?
Majestic Lion Mar 21, 2012 at 11:26 am
How do you make it possible for Android apps to be sideloaded, with all the attendant security and bug issues, but you draw the line at rooting? Do it yourself the right way and none of this would be an issue, RIM. *facepalm*
Skeevecr Mar 21, 2012 at 11:53 am
Who knows, maybe their os is built in such a way that unless you are tampering at a lower level (like a jailbreak) the os can limit the damage a user could do.
eashleyfl Mar 21, 2012 at 7:47 pm
That's it exactly. Normal user programs are put into separate "sandboxes" meaning each application has its own memory and storage space and cannot read or write to any shared memory or storage media without express permissions from the user.
jpgrove Mar 21, 2012 at 12:09 pm
To be honest i am surprised that they have in the past warrantied such activities, after all you wouldn't mess with the EMU on a car and then expect the maker to fix it when it breaks.
I hope that RIM keep to there promise to expand the Playbooks appeal and to keep updating the software, this way there would be little if not no need to root it.
PrimalYeti Mar 21, 2012 at 12:47 pm
Didn't Apple try to do the same thing with jailbreaking iOS and they were told that legally users are allowed to do it? How can RIM get away with doing it?
Don't get me wrong, I like my stock PB and have no desire to jailbreak it. I'm just confused as to how RIM can say it voids warranties but Apple can't.
mhsobhani Mar 21, 2012 at 8:36 pm
You can jailbreak but you may not. That's what rim is saying. It just voids your warranty but it's not illegal. Apple was lobbying for it to be illegal.
habsfan170 Mar 21, 2012 at 1:10 pm
I haven't gotten into rooting, nor do I want to - but it's not like losing the manufacturer's warranty is any major loss. RIM won't fix my PB's screen which had a dead pixel out of the box. Just straight up won't do it - has to be 'multiple dead pixels'. Insanity.
sk8er_tor Mar 21, 2012 at 1:33 pm
That's standard practise with all manufacturers. Have a look at the warranty of your TV, it will state the same thing.
Wh0mpu5 Mar 21, 2012 at 1:32 pm
Ok first of all ,what apple tried to do was make the act of jailbreaking their phones and such illegal , which would mean they could Sue the individual who jailbroke and the person making the jailbreak software. However if the Idevice had warrantable issues and was found to be jailbroken , then they can and will denie coverage. What RIM is saying is they follow suit , and that if you root or jailbreak your device and it causes damage to the unit , they can and will denie any warranty claims. Its not a matter of whether the unit has a physical defect or not. They do not want their security tampered with. That is why all Jailbreakers give Forewarning that you do the jailbreak at your OWN RISK.
RIM is covering their butts , leave it at that. If you jailbreak or root , thats your risk your taking . Deal with it
sk8er_tor Mar 21, 2012 at 1:34 pm
+1 for what you said but -1 for the spelling.
Wh0mpu5 Mar 21, 2012 at 4:10 pm
Thanks and sorry only had a short time to type that out . hehe
Abrante Mar 21, 2012 at 5:38 pm
Imagine how much longer your message would have been if you had more time :)
siddo_d Mar 21, 2012 at 2:25 pm
Blackberry shouldn't be jailbroken because of its security and some devices can run slower than before
Anguish Mar 21, 2012 at 3:16 pm
Rim can say whatever they want but it won't make it true. I bought my device and now I own it. I am permitted to use it however I see fit. As long as that use doesn't constitute abuse, the warranty is unchanged.
To those bringing up vehicle mods, the fact is that if a modification can't be demonstrated to have caused a failure resulting in warranty claim, by law the manufacturer has to honour the warranty. If you tune your engine for more horsepower and the paint corrodes early, you get free paint. If you install a custom exhaust and the battery dies, you get a new battery for free. If you install HID lights and your brake calipers fail, you get new calipers. Auto manufacturers can't even deny you a brake claim due to engine upgrades. "You must be stopping more." Unless they can prove that aggressive stopping is caused by an engine upgrade (it isn't), they have to fix the brakes.
Rooting a phone or tablet voids the (non-existent) software warranty. Sure, if you end up with a bricked device I can see RIM denying your warranty claim, but if you brick your device while rooting, you abused your device. If you "e" key stops working, you're probably not, so RIM gets to honour their warranty.
This is more FUD, nothing more. There's a public perception that a device that can be rooted is inherently in danger of being exploited from the outside. Fact is that jailbreaking is done by owners to gain more control of the devices they own. Nobody does anything to you because you've rooted.
Wh0mpu5 Mar 21, 2012 at 4:17 pm
I can honestly say i disagree with some of what you say.
In this particular case you can not compare automotive warranty to Electronic warranties.
Yes you own the device , yes you paid for it. But if you change something in the software and because of that change cause the processor to calculate more equations than it was tested to normally do , and hence cause a failure , the warranty is void. Simple.
Rooting , or jailbreaking can and will allow people who want to be more daring than the average Joe to do things they should not. for example overclock , add software load to the memory and processor resulting in more heat which will damage the electronic components more. The statement from Rim is a Generalization about rooting/jailbreaking as a whole. We all know 90% of the time people who root or jailbreak , are adding software changes , but a small minority will push the root/jailbreak to do other things , and its those things that RIM will avoid.
So law or not , if you "break" the device and they can prove it was due to a software change like rooting and jailbreaking , they will void your warranty.
Like it or not ,that's the way it is.
To put in a automotive term you may understand. If you take the stock air intake and replace it with a cold air intake , and your engine dies , is the manufacturer going to heavily look at that modification with alot more scrutiny than if you hadn't , of course they will , they will have to figure out whether that mod changed the parameters that could have caused the engine to fail.
again like it or not , that's the way the cookie crumbles.
Bobcat665 Mar 21, 2012 at 3:58 pm
As long as the device is customizable enough without having to jailbreak then I, personally, see no need to do it. If you jailbreak, you do it at your own risk! It's that simple...
Endoflow Mar 21, 2012 at 4:49 pm
Who gives a shit about the warranty. The jailbreak will come and those of you who are too stupid to jailbreak it to get all the bonus apps and features don't deserve them anyways...lol
renegade37918 Mar 21, 2012 at 7:29 pm
rooting is a wonderful thing both my android devices are rooted and i dont have any issues. nothing gets into my devices that I dont put on them... no bloatware, no apps that i will never use just taking up screen space.. keep in mind a Canadian with there rules. drink the kool aid dont customize YOUR device how YOU want it. have the same set up as everyone else with a pb. my pb is tucked away in my closet until something special happens for it
lowellton Mar 21, 2012 at 8:09 pm
i used ddpb. is that rooting?
I rooted my playbook back in January so I could install 2.0. Ever since the moment I did that, my touchscreen was whacked out. It would work intermittently. I restored back to Official OS and still had the same problem.
I dont know it was coincidence or not, but my playbook was screwed after that rooting.
I sent the playbook back to RIM for repair after hours on the phone with tech support. Result: They shipped me a brand new playbook.
Maybe there is a reason why they void the warranty now... Just sayin.
blackberrystorm1234 Mar 21, 2012 at 10:20 pm
I agree with what Adrian says. Jailbreaking is a risk. However, RIM must realize that alot of people bought the PB because of it's "rootability." I'm sure lots of people tried rooting within the first 48 hours of buying their PB.
moyjoy Mar 22, 2012 at 1:32 am
There's a reason its called "jail"breaking...
m2k_mz Mar 22, 2012 at 4:49 am
This is standard procedure for any company to protect their software/ device and i agree with RIM for doing so. At the same time i support and congratulate all the jailbreakers. Its thanks to them that the OS gets improved in terms of security, modifications etc.
gRoberts84 Mar 22, 2012 at 5:18 am
If RIM had done it properly, there would be little or no reason to Root or Jailbreak a PB.

Local columnist
— To go from marriage to divorce is a heartbreaking struggle. Years before, two people stood in front of their friends and family committing their lives to one another, then for one reason or another, it didn't work out. Without kids, they never have to speak again.
With kids, it gets more complicated.
The term "co-parenting" means to find ways that two parents can work together, when they have significant differences in opinion. These concepts work within divorce situations, but also apply between partners that are together. These three tips will make co-parenting easier.
Talk ahead of time
One of the first steps a divorced couple can take is to talk about potential future situations. What would you do if our son or daughter did X or Y?
Or, I saw a child do this the other day; what should we do if that happened with our child?
Do you think there are specific ages that privileges should expand? When parents can talk about the future, it sets the stage for creating a few rules that can be agreed upon.
Have a few common rules
Parents usually have harsh, angry or hurt feelings following a divorce. When those can be set aside to create a plan for their children, it forms a certain level of consistency in the child's life.
This reduces children's anxiety and helps them to know what to expect.
Having a handful of common rules can begin collaboration, even in the midst of wanting no part of one another's lives.
A starting point might be bedtime, amount of screen time or when homework is done.
Other common rules are length of time for time-outs, what maturity level of video games can be played or how much sugar/soda can be consumed.
Don't undermine one another
Even when an ex-spouse does something really stupid, undermining them as parents serves no one. Children will defend their parent and feel that they have to choose sides. Smart parents will seek to allow children to make their own decisions about the other parent.
When kids feel that their parents are working together, even in minor areas, it helps them feel more secure and have less anxiety.
It is hard work to be a smart co-parent. It involves actively ignoring your own hurt and anger.
However, when two parents can do this effectively, it helps kids to know what to expect, feel more protected and thrive.

---- — Team Members
JAY — Ward Lumber has named Team Members recognized for outstanding achievements and contributions to the Ward Lumber team, according to President Jay Ward.
The following were selected for the second quarter of 2012:
Diana Trim, kitchen designer, Malone store; Philip Dooley, sales assistant, Yard, Jay Store; and Melissa Whisher, building materials accounting manager, Support Center at corporate headquarters.
Awards received
PLATTSBURGH — Mountain Lake PBS has captured two awards for Excellence in Production and Community Engagement. The awards were handed out at the New York State Broadcasters Association (NYSBA) 50th annual Executive Conference held at The Sagamore Resort Hotel.
A collaborative program between Mountain Lake and the Plattsburgh Public Library designed to encourage young children and their parents to become interested in science and the language of problem solving has earned an NYSBA Community Engagement Award.
Through the free initiative, which featured Mountain Lake PBS' "Sid the Science Kid," more than 100 parents and their children viewed an episode of the show that focused on growing things and reading an interactive story. They then participated in numerous science- and literacy-focused activities and projects. Children also took their projects home and received a free book to practice their literacy skills.
"This outreach program to promote science, technology, engineering and mathematics is a perfect example of how local stations can work with the community to help educate tomorrow's leaders," said NYSBA President David Donovan, noting that the association launched the Community Engagement Awards to recognize the critical relationship between local stations and organizations that work to improve their communities.
Celebrating the visual and performing arts, Art Express, produced, written and edited by Paul Larson, was awarded Outstanding Locally Produced TV Show. The program features people in the Mountain Lake PBS region, such as a Montreal-area sculptor who deals with the pain of a family loss through her work. It also highlights talented people of international significance who inhabit the PBS landscape, such as violin virtuoso Joshua Bell.
"Our staff works diligently to create programs that highlight the best of our region while meeting our mission to inform, educate, involve and entertain, and we're proud to be recognized for doing it well," said Alice Recore, president and CEO of Mountain Lake PBS.
Patient safety
SARANAC LAKE — An additional level of protection has been added to further enhance patient safety for people receiving care at Adirondack Medical Center.
All staff is held to the highest standards to provide a clean and safe environment to protect patients against hospital-acquired infections. The data demonstrates the infection rates at AMC are consistently lower than other similarly sized facilities in the state and nation. And while the rates at AMC are lower, the objective is to continually strive for an infection rate of zero.
To that end, AMC has implemented a cleaning verification and monitoring system.
The system involves the use of a stylus roughly the size of a small marker to take a surface sample from a frequently touched area, such as a door knob or tray table. The stylus is then placed in a hand-held scanning device to verify how well the surface has been cleaned. The information is then stored in a database and tracked over time. The data validates the practices followed by the environmental services team by confirming the cleanliness of an area. The results also show opportunities for improvement.
When a patient comes to AMC for a surgical procedure or to recover from an illness, a clean and safe room is as important as regular visits from the nurse or doctor.
The environmental services team at AMC is a highly trained group of individuals who play a key role in the recovery of patients. Every time a patient is discharged from the Medical Center, the team thoroughly sanitizes the room. This is in addition to the assigned cleaning tasks conducted daily for the duration of the patient's stay at the Medical Center.

School program
PLATTSBURGH — For the past 15 years, Price Chopper Supermarket's signature Tools for Schools program has made a significant impact on school communities. More than $10.5 million in school supplies, musical instruments, microscopes, computer software and easels have been distributed for use in classes that range from arts and music to science and math and for extracurricular activities including sports and clubs.
From now through March 30, parents, friends and neighbors are encouraged to participate in this innovative, grassroots program by using their Price Chopper AdvantEdge card to help schools rack up credits that will enable them to acquire new equipment and education material.
"This program helps family and friends to make a difference by designating a neighborhood elementary, middle or high school to receive credits relative to their purchases at our stores," said Mona Golub, vice president of public relations and consumer and marketing services. "For school districts, the program is a welcome boost towards the purchase of educational, technological and extracurricular equipment that they may otherwise not be able to afford."
Shoppers may designate a school at the Guest Services desk at a local Price Chopper, at the school or online at www.pricechopper.com. For every dollar spent, the designated school earns one point. By purchasing select brands, the designated school earns double points.
As an added incentive this year, the top 100 schools will receive a free Price Chopper Gift Card Basket worth $575.
Technician honored
PLATTSBURGH — Out of more than 28,000 Chevrolet, Buick, GMC and Cadillac service technicians across the United States, Terry Relation of Knight Automotive Inc. is one of only approximately 1,300 service technicians to achieve the status of General Motors World Class Technician.
The GM World Class Technician program takes service training to a whole new level above Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) industry training by adding comprehensive Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) training. General Motors service technicians have the unique opportunity to become World Class Technicians in the GM Service Technical College program.
"Terry is truly the best of the best, and we are proud to have him on our team helping us provide a truly exceptional customer experience for North Country drivers," said Richard Knight, president of Knight Automotive Inc.
Relation earned World Class Technician status back in 2003, and has maintained that status to present. To become a World Class Technician, Relation completed more than 540 hours of training and achieved ASE and GM Master Technician certification in eight technical categories including electrical/electronics; engine repair; heating, ventaliation and air conditioning; brakes ASE Certification; steering and suspension; manual drivetrain and axle; automatic transmission/transaxle; and engine performance or diesel engine performance.
A service technician can achieve GM World Class Technician status in two areas, mechanical and body, where both can be achieved when a technician successfully completes all related GM Service Technical College training and the appropriate GM Master Technician Certifications.

The New School provides an array of employment benefits to its faculty and their eligible dependents. We currently offer medical care and dental care plans, a health care flexible spending account, a retirement plan, a transportation expense reimbursement plan, a tuition assistance plan, and an employee assistance program. This site provides detailed information about our benefit plans and programs, including eligibility requirements, cost of coverage, and the enrollment process. If you need additional assistance, feel free to contact the benefits staff at firstname.lastname@example.com.
A part-time faculty member may participate in the university's health care and dental care plans if he or she meets the eligibility requirements set forth in the collective bargaining agreement between the university and ACT-UAW.

What is the most defining moment of your life thus far?
I know it might sound trite, but for me that moment was definitely the day I became a mom for the first time. I often tell people that I was born the day my son was born.
Growing up, I knew that I wanted to be certain things: rich, powerful, influential, and admired by the masses. I wasn't certain that I wanted kids.
Somewhere around the age of 26, though, I wanted to be mom. I never did become rich, powerful, influential, or admired by the masses. But I did become the me that I'm certain I was destined to be all along: Mom.
I'm writing about this today because I had another row with my son last night that's become the norm, rather than the exception, since he plunged headlong into the chaotic and insanity-riddled state they call puberty. I was correcting his sister, he butted in, and I flipped out because I felt my authority had been undermined. He, in turn, blew a gasket and the evening ended with tears, tantrums, and hurt feelings.
My son didn't take it well, either.
The common theme of these fights is always my son telling me that he doesn't believe I love him. My rational side tells me that I'm being emotionally manipulated, but the part of me that remembers all too well my own teenage years reminds me that he's telling the truth. He genuinely feels that way. If your own child has ever said this to you, you most certainly know what it feels like to have your heart break.
I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong that my child feels this way, or it's just a genetic feature, or if every teenager feels unloved at times. But when I hear those words come from the mouth of the very person I base my reason for existence on, I can't help but feel like a failure in every sense of the word.
The thing about being a mom is that every day has to be a defining moment. You can't take a break from it, and everything you do counts. Maybe I do have days where I don't show enough love to my kids, or to anyone else around me for that matter. Maybe I do slip up and yell when I should talk calmly, or not pay enough attention, or simply say or do the wrong thing.
But being a mom does not imply perfection. My son will have to learn this someday, and he will have to learn that even the purest and most powerful love has occasional deficiencies. It's not my job to raise my children in a perfect world. It's my job to teach them how to survive in an imperfect one.
Should he question love? Of course, he should. Nothing in this life is guaranteed, and this skill will someday help him weed out the people who don't love him.
Should he question MY love? I wish with all of my heart that he wouldn't, but I know that someday he'll leave all of that doubt behind. I suspect it will be the day his own child is born, and he, like me, will be born then, too.
Perhaps that will be HIS defining moment.

Title text: I don't want to talk about it
This comic plays off the pun between stump, to confuse someone, and a stump, which is the remnants of a tree that has been cut down.
- Original Randall quote: "I'm on vacation! At home. Fresh drawings when I return!"

- This is the thirty-sixth comic originally posted to livejournal. The previous was 33: Self-reference. The next was 35: Sheep
- [A tree holding a chainsaw over a recently cut-down tree.]
- I found this in one of my high-school notebooks. I think I drew it just to take revenge on people snooping through my stuff.

Curtis High School biology teacher Michael Edison Allen, who is accused of having a sexual relationship with a 17-year-old Curtis student, has resigned from his position at the University Place school.
His resignation is effective Saturday, University Place Superintendent Patti Banks said. Also, Banks said, she filed an official complaint about Allen with the state Office of Professional Practices that investigates misconduct by teachers and has the power to revoke a teacher's state certification.
Curtis, 33, pleaded not guilty to five counts of sexual misconduct with a minor in Pierce County Superior Court Feb. 12. He was released on $25,000 bail, with a trial date set for April 7.

Runs snug. I normally wear a medium and find the large perfect. Very similar to Lululemon's Swiftly Tech shirt, but better! Is long and fits perfect for length with a little extra (I'm 5'11"). Does not ride up! Neckline is lower than Lulu's shirt, which is way more comfortable for me.

Protection from despots
What is really at stake? The Second Amendment, simply put, is a deterrent put there by the Founding Fathers to prevent a government of career politicians from completely taking over. It's not about hunting. It's about a nation being able to defend itself from all enemies foreign and domestic.
When a people become controlled by those in governmental authority rather than the people controlling those in government, we cease to be a free nation. History is our witness – Pol Pot in Cambodia rose into power and slaughtered 25 percent of the population in three years. He did so because there was no armed militia to oppose him. All the ruling power in the Khmer Rouge needed was to slander a group of the population – intellectuals – disarm them and instill fear in the ignorant and angry.
Beware career politicians with an agenda and that agenda being to remain in power.

NYX & MAC Haul!! (Warning - Picture Heavy!)
Thursday, 22 April 2010
Just in case you didn't know, Harrods stocks NYX products and their stand can be found on the 4th Floor right by Juicy Couture! :)
Here's what I got!
I've always wanted the jumbo pencils, especially Milk, as a lot of Beauty Gurus use it! The Pencils were £5.95 each, a tad bit more expensive than what you'd pay across the pond or Online, but I felt the need to go and see the products for myself, have a little swatch of them and feel them. I was very impressed with the quality of them. I couldn't leave empty-handed so I picked these up...
This one was I a bit of an impulse buy! It's a cute pink lipgloss that I feel will go perfect with my Lucky Green eyeshadow by MAC. £4.95.
Pinky Natural
I picked these up because i've been looking for a good nude lippy. Freckletone is a Lustre finish, quite sheer, but can be intensified after a few coats. Shy Girl is a Cremesheen finish, with a pinky undertone. They were £12.50 each.
Shy Girl
Another Impulse Buy! Sheesh! A Nude Lipliner called Summerfruit...would go well with Freckletone. £10.
I wanted a Coral Lipgloss for Summer so I bought this one. It's called Lychee Luxe...strange name, but ok. Nevertheless it's a pretty colour! £12.
Lychee Luxe
And lastly Two more eyeshadows to add to my collection. Antiqued is a very pigmented Veluxe Pearl finish, would be great in the outer corner over Painterly for a Neutral eye. Gleam is a Lustre finish pink with gold undertones...Gorj! £9 each.
Can't wait to do Tutorials with these! :D

Pryor heads into Tuesday's Tahlequah game, fresh off a three-game winning streak.
After a slow start (1-3) from the Mayes County squad with high preseason expectations, potential has *begun to materialize.
Their 4-3 record indicates the tide is turning.
In each of the Tigers recent triumphs, team-strengths have grown.
A five-point victory on the road over Fort Gibson began the streak.
A 57-35 blowout-win over visiting Collinsville the following week served as a defensive turning point, according to Head Coach Greg Arnold.
"Our entire intensity level was higher on defense, which carried over to offense," Arnold said.
A one-point, overtime win at Skiatook last week required Pryor to battle back from a double-digit deficit.
The Tigers performance revealed a team capable of unrelenting mental toughness, a trait deserving attention from future opponents.
A 2-4 Tahlequah team is winless at home this year.
Though Pryor's newly achieved, one-game above .500 status overshadows the Tiger's 2-4 record, common-opponent statistics suggest the game may be closer than anticipated.
Both teams suffered high-margin losses to Bishop Kelley and dominating wins over Collinsville.
Pryor escaped Skiatook by one point, while only four points kept Tahlequah from a notch in their win column against the Bulldogs.
Tuesday, a Pryor team in the process of a successful turn-around will face an opponent on the road who is looking to develop a similar identity.

The following hypothetical consultation about surgery for carotid artery stenosis is presented for purposes of general information. Please see your doctor to discuss your individual case and the exams and treatments that are best for you.
The following consultation about carotid artery stenosis could apply to any adult. The condition is most common in older adults and can result from atherosclerosis, which is hardening and narrowing of the arteries due to the buildup of plaque.
Doctor: Good morning. What can I do for you today?
Patient: I'm here because my primary care physician was listening to my neck and said he heard sound in it and said I should come see you.
Doctor: He probably heard something that we call a "bruit." That is essentially just a sign that you have some turbulent flow in the artery, and it may tell us that you have significant narrowing of the artery. The reason that your doctor sent you would be that there are things that we can do to relieve that blockage in order to prevent future problems that can occur, such as stroke.
Patient: What other symptoms might I have from this blockage?
Doctor: If you do have symptoms, you might have something that is called a "TIA." That is essentially a mini-stroke. Typically people may describe episodes where their arm or their leg becomes transiently weak or even paralyzed and then it returns to normal. There may be times when you or a family member may have noticed a droop of your face on one side or the other. You may have trouble speaking or expressing words even though you are completely conscious. Occasionally you may even have trouble understanding what someone else is saying to you. There is one other symptom that is quite common, which is where you may see in one eye, like a window shade coming down, and then it resolves completely.
Patient: Sometimes for no obvious reason I just sort of feel dizzy for a little bit. Could this be from that as well?
Doctor: It is doubtful. Most of the time, a blockage of your carotid artery shouldn't cause dizziness in and of itself. However, the carotid blockage is a manifestation of blockages all throughout the body, which we refer to as atherosclerosis or plaque buildup. So there are other arteries, such as the vertebral arteries which are in back of the head, that may be also affected. In combination with carotid blockage, that could account for your symptoms, but rarely is that the case.
Patient: My doctor was quite concerned about this and he ordered an ultrasound, which I had done. I don't really understand that test and I know that he sent you the results. I was curious what it was and what was found.
Doctor: Your ultrasound report shows what we would call a moderate to severe degree of narrowing in your right carotid artery. The ultrasound exam looks at flow through that artery and it also looks at the plaque in the artery. Then, based on a combination of how much plaque there is and how much that flow is altered, we make an estimate of how much narrowing there is. The reason that this is important is that the higher the degree of narrowing, with or without symptoms, the more important it is for you to have that obstruction relieved to prevent future episodes of stroke.
Patient: You seem to be talking as if I need an operation.
Doctor: Based on the narrowing that is seen on your ultrasound, I would recommend an operation. It is not imperative, but all of the studies show pretty clearly that if you have a good surgeon, the risk of stroke after an operation is much lower than the risk of stroke with carotid artery narrowing that is treated medically. I would recommend an operation.
Patient: Do I have alternatives?
Doctor: The alternatives include medical treatment, which is essentially using aspirin or any of the aspirin-like agents which would prevent clotting or reduce the risk of clotting. And of course, lifestyle modification such as controlling high blood pressure, better control of diabetes if you have diabetes, stop smoking if you are a smoker. These are things you could do with or without surgery that certainly are important.
The other alternative treatment is carotid stenting. Carotid stenting is being used more and more. However, the clinical trials that need to be performed in order to justify it as a true alternative to carotid endarterectomy are still in progress. Carotid stenting has been approved for certain high-risk patients, and there are a variety of reasons that a patient may be considered high risk. However, for the standard patient who is asymptomatic, or even symptomatic, who can undergo carotid endarterectomy, that is still considered the gold standard. If you have a very bad heart or very bad lungs or for some reason are deemed to be at high risk to undergo carotid endarterectomy, then carotid stenting may be a viable option, and we are able to provide that therapy as well. The current data indicate that the older you get, the higher your risk of stroke with carotid stenting, so that is not something I recommend for patients who are aged 70 years or older, but that may evolve in the future.
Patient: Can you tell me a little bit about the surgery?
Doctor: The operation is called a carotid endarterectomy. We make an incision along the front of your neck on the side of the affected artery. We stop the flow through the artery using clamps, and we open up the artery and shell out the plaque that is obstructing the flow. While we are doing this, obviously, you need to have blood flow to your brain, and the other arteries throughout your neck provide that flow in the great majority of patients. During the operation, about 10 percent of patients may need what is called a shunt, which is a way of providing blood flow at those clamps so that the brain is getting enough blood flow while we are cleaning out the plaque. Then, if everything goes well, you are usually in the hospital for a day and you go home the next day, unless there are other issues that keep you longer.
Patient: When can I return to normal life? And when can I return to work?
Doctor: The recovery from this operation is quite quick. You can go about your daily business the following day. The one thing that we ask you not to do is drive for two weeks because the neck incision needs to heal. Some people may experience some pain, but most people don't. It is still safer to avoid driving. Other than that, you can resume your other normal activities certainly a week or so later.
Patient: Are there complications?
Doctor: Yes, there can be complications and risk of having complications is directly related to the competence of the surgeon, so your choice of surgeon is very important. You should be sure that the surgeon is someone who has done this operation many times before. The major risk of the operation is the risk of stroke from the operation itself. The national statistics show that the risk should be no higher than 2 to 3 percent.
Patient: Are you telling me that I have a 2 to 3 percent chance of having a stroke from having the surgery?
Doctor: No, it is true that there is a risk that you might have a stroke. The national statistics say that if you have 100 patients undergo this operation, 2 or 3 of them may end up with a stroke. What your individual risk is, nobody can really say. These numbers are based on what the risk is for other people like you.
Patient: Are there other risks?
Doctor: The other risk is that there are many vital structures in the neck, some of which are nerves, which can be injured during the operation. If they do get injured, you may have symptoms such as voice changes, hoarseness or difficulty swallowing. Most of the time, if these symptoms do occur, they are short term and will return to normal within a matter of weeks. But sometimes they can become permanent.
Patient: What about anesthesia? Do you use a general anesthetic?
Doctor: Yes, and that is the other major risk. Any time a person undergoes an anesthetic, it is possible that the patient will have a heart attack or abnormal rhythms of the heart. It doesn't happen very often and we always make sure that the heart is in as good a condition as it can be before a patient undergoes an operation. Those are the major risks of this surgery.
Patient: It sounds to me like I should get this done. How do I schedule it?
Doctor: If you tell me that you are ready to go ahead and have this done, my office will arrange for a time in the operating room and they'll give you a call. At your convenience we can go ahead and schedule.
Patient: Thank you.

Bruce Smear "Pick & Roll"
18 Jul 2014 — Henning Lahmann
Stylishly riding the zeitgeist, Bruce Smear's brand new tune "Pick & Roll" is everything you thought it would be after taking a glance at the cover art of his upcoming Chlorine EP. That probably shouldn't come as a surprise, of course, cause what are you supposed to come up with if you live in Brooklyn in 2014 and spend most of your time playing guitar in Beach Fossils, an amiable outfit that's into that kind of music which was en vogue a few summers ago – you know, when blogs were still a thing. This is post-Internet now, we assume, so fuck your stringed instruments and get out your glacial synth presets already! Seriously though why not, and the result sure is compelling, so go listen below.
The Chlorine EP is out on tape on August 26 via Driftless Recordings. Pre-order your copy over here.

I am going with Lynch because he improved his YPC, most more involved in the passing game getting more than twice the amount of receptions he did last year, and getting 1336 all purpose yards. I was glad to see him used more in the passing game while maintaining (and improving) his ground game. He definitely progressed this year
RB C.J. Spiller - 927 yds, 4.6 ypc, 33 rec, 185 yds, 2 TD

Lynch or Jackson ran the team after week 6 and you can never argue with the offensive headliner so I would have to go with lynch although there really is no clear cut winner.

I feel sick giving it to an offensive player but I'm going to say Lynch. When we look at the highlight reel of the season it is only going to contain Lynch runs.

I would say that statement is debatable.

Just missed: PR/WR Roscoe Parrish, CB Terrence McGee, WR Josh Reed, S Bryan Scott, P Brian Moorman
My vote goes to
Marshawn Lynch
. He was quiet early on, but eventually got the running game going with his hard running style. He also took the blame for the ground game even though he was only partly to blame. I would have liked to pick a defensive player but no one on that side of the field clearly stood above the rest. Whereas on the offense (albeit a poor offense overall), Lynch is the player that really sticks out.
Where else would you rather be than right here, right now?
When it's too tough for them, it's just right for us

By LOHR McKINSTRY Press-Republican
---- — TICONDEROGA — State auditors say Ticonderoga Central School District needs a multi-year financial plan to avoid future budget shortfalls.
The district already has a long-range fiscal plan, and they're following it, Superintendent John McDonald Jr. said in response.
That protocol was developed following the auditor's visit but before the release of the audit report.
"What we did is we developed a three-year scenario based on very conservative revenue and very conservative spending," the superintendent told the Press-Republican.
"We went high on expenses and low on revenue, and it looks like we'll be in very good shape going forward."
The audit report just released by the State Comptroller's Office acknowledged Ticonderoga has had severe financial problems in recent years.
"The district has struggled with fiscal challenges due to a deteriorating financial condition," the audit report said.
"We found that the (school) board adopted budgets that limited costs and tax increases by reducing administrative and instructional positions in response to the district's decreasing enrollment, negotiating salary freezes with faculty and support staff and adopting a different medical insurance plan that reduced rate increases."
Ticonderoga School District went from 953 students in 2008-09 to 875 for 2012-13. Teaching staff was reduced from 91 to 77.
The district had a $17.8 million budget for 2012-13, with a $10.3 million tax levy.
"The adopted 2012-13 budget was about $1.1 million less than the adopted budget for 2011-12," the audit said.
"It also included a tax levy that was more than $400,000 under the district's property tax (state) cap limit. The district cannot reasonably continue to develop balanced budgets in this manner without a multi-year financial plan."
Besides the recommendation for the financial plan, the audit made two other recommendations: that the School Board ensure that future budgets are structurally balanced and that it closely monitor financial operations to establish and maintain financial stability.
They're doing all those things, McDonald said.
"We're going to tweak some things, and there are no problems at all. They said, 'Keep doing what you're doing.'"
He said the state auditor was very good to work with and gave them excellent fiscal advice.
"They were very complimentary on some of our internal controls. They said some good things (about district operations), but it didn't make it into the report."
The report said the long-range plan should consider many factors.
"District officials should formulate a plan that takes into consideration projected enrollment trends, current economic conditions, the recent trend of reductions in state aid and the impact of the new property-tax-cap law on revenue projections.
"Further, the increases in employee salary and benefit costs, including medical insurance and required contributions to the retirement systems, must be addressed in the plan."
The School Board must also evaluate the establishment and future use of reserve monies, the audit said.
The district's 2011-12 fund balance from the previous year was only $384,000.
"Trends in student population changes should be analyzed, and the future impact on programs should be anticipated," the audit advised.
"A well-designed plan can assist the board in making timely and informed decisions about the district's programs and operations."
McDonald said the multi-year financial plan was developed for use starting with the 2013-14 school year and is part of business office's duties, with oversight from the School Board and superintendent.

Prerequisite: ENGL 100, 101 or 3 credits from ENGL 110-139. May be repeated with a different topic. (3 credits)
A study of a particular genre, such as the novel, the short story, poetry, drama or autobiography.
Topics for 2010-2012
ENGL 271 Studies in the 19th and 20th Century Novel: Portraits of WomenA close analysis of representative examples of 19th and 20th century English novels with particular emphasis on social and psychological portraits of women. Texts may include novels by Austen, Bronte, Eliot, James, Lawrence and Woolf.
ENGL 272 The Short StoryStudents will read, discuss and write about a wide-ranging selection of short stories, studying authorial and historical technique, point of view, voice, structure and subject matter.
ENGL 273 Renaissance DramaWe consider plays written by contemporaries of Shakespeare and his heirs. We will study dramatic traditions (such as revenge tragedy and social comedy) and theatrical contexts in the light of Elizabethan and Jacobean culture. The playwrights include Christopher Marlowe, Ben Jonson and John Webster.
ENGL 274 Modern DramaModern English and American drama with some attention to continental influences. Authors studied may include Ibsen, Shaw, O'Neill, Miller, Williams, Albee, Beckett, Pinter, Stoppard and Shepard.
ENGL 275 The American NovelAn introduction to the development of the American novel from the late 18th century through the 20th century. May include works by Rowson, Hawthorne, Melville, Harriet Wilson, James, Chopin, Cather and Plath.
ENGL 277 English Renaissance PoetryWe explore the major poetic traditions of the late 16th and early 17th centuries. The sonnet, mythic/erotic narratives, religious lyric and pastoral are among the many forms and conventions considered in the readings. The poets studied include Sidney, Shakespeare, Donne, Herbert, Herrick and Marvell.
ENGL 278 The Woman in the PoemA study of 20th century American poetry by and about women. The class will emphasize close analysis of particular texts by poets such as Denise Levertov, Adrienne Rich, Sylvia Plath and Anne Sexton.
ENGL 280 20th Century Ethnic Narratives: Writing Ourselves into AmericaIn this course, we will explore how national and personal histories of ethnicity in the United States are handed down, revised and contradicted in both autobiography and fiction. Along the way, we will also pay attention to themes of family, work and growing up, as well as definitions of community and individuality, asking how someone's ethnicity might inform his or her world view. Readings may include fiction by Paule Marshall, John Edgar Wideman, John Okada, Julia Alvarez, Sherman Alexie and Cynthia Ozick.
CLEN 281 Greek and Roman DramaThis course focuses on the tragedies and comedies produced in Athens and Rome beginning with the Oresteia of Aeschylus (early 5th century B.C.) and concluding with the tragedies of Seneca (late 1st century A.D.). Plays are selected to analyze the diachronic treatment of popular stories, such as those of Oedipus and Medea, and to highlight the various roles theatre played in Greco-Roman society (religious, social, economic, etc.). Students will be expected to write critically about ancient plays both as literary texts and in their original performance contexts.
ENGL 284 The Medieval Romance: Audacious Knights, Daring Deeds and "Virtuous" MaidensWe will explore the development of the romance as a literary genre. Included in our investigation are societal influences on the texts and literary influences on society: how did authors use the genre to depict idealistic love and, likewise, to interrogate society's emphasis on courtly love as the perfect form? The texts that we will examine include (but are not limited to) "Gawain and the Green Knight," "The Lais of Marie de France," selections from Chaucer's works such as "The Canterbury Tales" and "The Book of the Duchess" and Mallory's "Le Morte de Arthur."
ENGL 285 The British NovelThis course will explore the British novel as a site of ongoing experimentation and development. We will move from the genre's 18th century hybrid origins, to the romance and realist traditions of the 19th century, and into the modernist and postmodernist movements of the 20th and 21st centuries. Consideration of formal features and traditions will unfold in the company of historicized discussions about identity formation and representations of gender, class, race and nation. We will ask how novels as material constructs come to "matter" in the socio-political circumstances in which they arise, and why novels—old and new—continue to matter today. Authors may include Defoe, Sterne, Austen, Dickens, Hardy, Woolf and Ishiguro.

Everyone is now welcome to join Jazz.net. A special thank-you to all our Rational customers and partners, the university researchers and students, and everyone else who was part of the Jazz.net early pilot program.
