The Chrysler 300 has undergone a facelift and the new version will make an appearance at Januarys Detroit Motor Show. At the front, the new Chrysler 300 features a much needed toned down grille than the one that dominates the current car. Chrome is still on offer but not in the abundance as used before and the more rounded bonnet, grille and new headlights that feature LED daytime running lights helps soften the Chryslers appearance. The rear of the car has new taillights and with the new chrome strip which sits beneath the boot really helps finish the car off. Chrysler has improved the all round quality on the inside and has fitted a new 8.4-inch infotainment touch screen package while also improving the quality of the leather and new trim materials. No announcement on new engines yet for the 300 but UK models look like they will be sticking with the 3.0 litre V6 diesel engine which is available with either a manual or auto gearbox. The car shown here in the picture is top spec up (US Spec) so expect a little less chrome on the UK version which goes on sale late 2011. The Chrysler 300 will retain its badge in the UK and it will be joined by the new 2011 Grand Voyager. Lancias Delta and Ypsilon will also join the Chrysler range but both will be rebadged with the Chrysler logo.

International Student Reflects On His Experiences At USC Upstate
Andy Gellert is an international student at University of South Carolina Upstate by way of Germany. He was born in Kazakhstan (former Soviet Union) where he lived for 16 years before relocating to Germany with his family. He made his home in the southern part of Germany for 19 years before moving to East Germany where he attended Magdeberg University who is partnered with Upstate. He will return home in June.
Andy is enrolled as a Non-traditional student and is studying Technical Translation for languages: Russian-German-English. He is taking a variety of subjects in an effort to improve his English skills.
Andy believes his experience here at Upstate has greatly prepared him for his career stating, "I have been learning a lot of things while being here. First of all, the language itself is the reason why I am here. By listening to the lessons in class, reading the assignments, completing written assignments, and talking to different students and people in general, I am learning the culture as well as linguistics. All of these things combined broaden my horizon and help me to prepare for my future goal."
Andy feels the professors at Upstate are "very friendly and ready to help" because they are "interested in his learning progress". He appreciated their efforts in using a variety of teaching methods to aid in his comprehension of the subject matter.
When asked about his fondest memory as an international student, Andy said he was not expecting such warm welcome. "Together with a small group of international students, we were taken to a restaurant by members of the Center for International Studies, and were given all the necessary information we needed to know about the university in particular and the United States in general. We did not even have to pay for the lunch. Another, very impressive experience for my whole family was the Thanksgiving Day we spent in the house of Judy Srock, Director of the Department Special Events and Facilities Scheduling. I never knew this lady before but she invited us to come to her house and we were really stuffed with a variety of American food. It is not because of food that we were glad about, but our excitement is about the generosity and kindness of these people. Thank you, Judy!"
Andy believes his biggest accomplishment as an international student has been having his family here with him on his venture. Andy is thirty-six years old, married to his wife Ellen and the father of two daughters, ages four and two. On the weekends he and his family enjoy hiking in the Appalachian Mountains and dining on Russian, Asian, German and Italian cuisines prepared by Andy who has a passion for cooking. Andy and his wife are teaching their daughters to speak Russian, German and English.
Andy and his family are members of the Bible Cleveland Park Church. He praises the church members for welcoming them and assisting with finding an apartment and automobile.
Andy is very pleased with his experience as an international student. He said, "All students studying Translation in Magdeburg/Germany are expected to go for a year abroad. I decided to come here because USC Upstate is a partner university of the university in my home country. I could not afford to go somewhere else and USC Upstate was able to pay for my tuition and fees. I am glad to be here."

NYT Quotes 'Retired Cuban Leader' Castro on 'Idiocy' of GOP Field, 'Had Reason to Be Annoyed'
Who cares what an unelected dictator thinks about the U.S. presidential campaign? Well, New York Times reporters do. Michael Shear and Trip Gabriel were in Miami following the campaign in the runup to next Tuesday's Florida primary and quoted Fidel Castro in Thursday's "Candidates Scramble to Win Hispanic Voters in Florida."
They even suggested the dictator (who they merely called "the retired Cuban leader") "had reason to be annoyed" at threats voiced by Republican candidates Newt Gingrich and Mitt Romney.
After noting that Cuban-Americans were "a force in South Florida's Republican politics," Shear and Gabriel quoted the Cuban dictator, and described his 50-plus-year dictatorship in the blandest possible terms:
As the Republicans appealed for votes among Cuban-Americans and other Hispanics, one person who said he was not enamored of the field expressed his distaste: Fidel Castro, the retired Cuban leader whose 1959 takeover prompted the exodus of Cubans to South Florida.
"The selection of a Republican candidate for the presidency of this globalized and expansive empire is -- and I mean this seriously -- the greatest competition of idiocy and ignorance that has ever been," he wrote in an opinion piece in state-owned news media.
He had reason to be annoyed. In Monday's debate, Mr. Gingrich said he would authorize covert actions to bring down the Cuban government, while Mr. Romney cited the Jan. 19 death of a Cuban prisoner, Wilman Villar Mendoza, in calling for maintaining a tough policy toward Cuba. The candidates also discussed whether the 85-year-old leader would go to heaven or hell.

And as for 'annoying' somebody - I think those Cubans who live in Florida are pretty 'annoyed' with Castro, as well as a helluva lot of poor souls who never got out of there.

Funny thing about those Cubans, Killa.
Submitted by Newsbubba on Fri, 01/27/2012 - 11:58am.
The vast majority of Cubans in South Florida who are here as a result of the actions of "the retired Cuban leader," (sounds like a real sweetheart, doesn't he?) are very conservative. Even if they don't personally remember what happened because they are too young to have lived it, their parents and grandparents have never let them forget it.
They are well aware of the devastation caused by Communism, and they don't want to see that Shiite in the USA.
We also have a huge population (for this little island) of kids from the former Eastern bloc countries in Europe. Talk about a bunch of conservative attitudes! Talk to them in glowing terms about Obama and his push for socialism, and they will kick your ass. They are quick to tell you what they and their parents experienced under communism and the USSR. They literally despise communism, and they despise Obama. If the democrats ever figure out that those immigrants will never vote Democrat, they may cut off their immigration completely and focus solely on taking in Mexicans, Middle Easterners, Africans, and Haitians.
Ever wonder what the MSM will start referring to Hitler as? Maybe "the deceased former leader of Germany who led his people to greatness after WWI, before he was ousted by imperial American actions"

I think we can thank that
Submitted by killa37 on Fri, 01/27/2012 - 12:08pm.
I think we can thank that great 'Liberal Lion' - Ted 'the swimmer' Kennedy - for downsizing the number of 'white' immigrants coming into our country and increasing the 'oppressed races'. Of course, it's really had a positive effect on our country, hasn't it?? But as long as they stay dependant on the system, and vote Democrat, then it's a good thing. I noticed that you didn't mention Asians, who - as far as I can tell - generally work hard and do a decent job of keeping things together for themselves and their families. Tell those Eastern Europeans to keep up the good work and spread the word..............I can imagine them pissing off some dopey liberal, who would be offended that some 'immigrant' would be trying to educate him about something like that.
One of my sister-in-laws is a Nicaraguan, whose family had to flee the country during the Sandanista communist takeover. She's worked hard and is successful. And DON'T start talking trash about the USA - she'll tear you a new one!!! You think Jan Brewer gave the petulant prick some grief yesterday - he's lucky he never met my brother's wife!!!

A-level student left scarred following sledgehammer attack speaks out as family offer £12,500 reward
Updated 5:17pm Tuesday 25th February 2014 in News By Anna Roberts, Crime reporter
A 16-year-old girl has described the horrifying moment she was attacked in her own home and left needing plastic surgery.
Shannon James, 16, an A-level student, was at home in Cricketers Close, Ashington, near Horsham, on August 29 last year when two masked robbers broke in.
She was attacked with a crowbar and sledgehammer and left needing stitches to her face.
Now Shannon and her mother Rebecca, 42, have chosen to speak out about their ordeal.
Ms James and partner Graham Childs had been watching TV until about 8.30pm before going to bed.
She said: "I remember we switched off the light about 8.55pm and then a little while later Shannon woke me after hearing a banging on the front door. I remember shouting, "who is it?".
"The people at the door then started shouting 'Police, Police'.
"I remember feeling relived because I thought it was the police and thought we haven't done anything and have nothing to hide.
"So I went down the stairs. That's when two men burst through the door wearing balaclavas. I knew straight away it wasn't police.
"One of the men was carrying a sledge hammer and hit me with it as I was coming down the stairs and Graham grabbed me. The one with the crowbar came up the stairs and tried to hit me and caught me on the hand. He then tried to swing again but missed.
"Shannon was suddenly there and said "Leave my mum alone". I think she saved my life that night. But the next thing I remember was her screaming.
Shannon said: "I remember seeing these two men in balaclavas and thinking this isn't real. I thought I was dreaming. I didn't really think but I wanted to help protect my mum. But the second man hit me with a crowbar as I came down the stairs. I didn't know if I was badly hurt."
The two men, who didn't speak at all once they were in the house, then left. They did not ask for money and jewellery and took nothing.
Shannon added: "I think about that night every day and I wake up every night, I jump everytime I hear a bang. People stare at the scar on my head and that's hard. I just want to know who did this and why."
Rebecca has struggled for the last five months and although her scars are not as visible as Shannon's, she has suffered emotionally.
Family members have all pulled together to put up a £12,500 reward for the conviction of those responsible for the attack.
Detective Constable Katy Lewis said: "The attackers are both described as tall, white men. The one with the sledgehammer was stocky and big and the other man is described as slimmer. They were dressed all in black and wearing balaclavas.
"We believe a green VW Golf which was found burnt out on Post View in Storrington the next day could be connected to the attack. We are hoping someone might have seen this car being driven in Ashington either before or after the attack that could help us.
"This was a terrifying attack for the whole family and they are still suffering the effects now. If you know something that could help us find the people responsible please get in contact.
"You can either speak to us at the police on 101 or email firstname.lastname@example.com quoting 1601 of 29/8 or speak to the independent charity Crimestoppers who will take information anonymously on 0800 555 111."

type of at least one shape in each using System.out.print statements. Minus
three points for each shape incorrectly identified.
For example, say the ten images were evenly mixed with half having one shape and half having two shapes, if all ten were correctly identified as to how many shapes were in each then that is fifty points and if ten of the fifteen shapes were correctly identified that is another fifty points, finially deduct fifteen points for the five shapes misidentified for a total of 85.
Bonus points: 1 for each shape recolored according their type: circle (yellow), triangle (green), rectangle (teal), square (blue), and polygon (purple)

RALEIGH — Two men who stopped to help a trucker stranded in the snow along Interstate 40 were killed Thursday night by a hit-and-run driver who was found about an hour later hiding in the woods, according to state authorities.
Marshall Hudson Doran, a 21-year-old UNC-Wilmington student from Kure Beach, was charged with two counts of felony death by motor vehicle, along with impaired-driving and drug charges.
The fatal collision occurred after a tractor cab of a tractor-trailer driven by Cardell Gayfield of Clayton hit a patch of fresh snow and spun out of control, stopping perpendicular to the westbound lanes of I-40 near the U.S. 70 Bypass at about 8 p.m.
So I get out, and I put down the reflective triangles, Gayfield said Friday. People were squeezing by a couple skidded out into the snow and regained control.
Gayfield tried to move his truck to safety, but two cars soon swerved off the right side of the highway to avoid him. Nathaniel Williams, 34, of Hope Mills climbed from his car up the embankment to the stopped tractor-trailer. Larry Kepley, 39, of Winston-Salem parked his own tractor-trailer on the westbound side of the highway and got out to help.
The guy in the truck, he got out and asked if I was all right, Gayfield said. Eventually, with some guidance from the two men, Gayfield got his trucks wheels spinning and drove toward the side of the road, he said.
As he was moving, he said, he spotted a car flashing by at a speed he estimated to be 60 mph. As the car passed, Gayfield saw a roadside sign wavering as if a car had struck it but didnt realize the two men who were helping him had been hit.
Gayfield saw Kepleys body first, he said, with glasses and a shoe knocked off.
Its a sad thing'
I didnt realize that that was the good Samaritan, that got off the truck that helped me, Gayfield said. Its sad, its a sad thing. Heres somebody who didn't know me, and yet cared enough to offer his assistance. You dont find that a lot nowadays.
Its unclear where Williams and Kepley were standing, or what they were doing, when they were struck by the 2001 Volvo as it passed Gayfields cab and then drove off, according to the Department of Public Safety.
Emergency responders in cars and a helicopter began to hunt for the Volvos driver. Authorities say they found Doran hiding in a wooded area some 10 miles away, near Trailwood Drive and Lineberry Drive, just east of the Gorman Street exit in Raleigh.
Doran eventually emerged from the woods and was arrested by a Wake County sheriffs deputy around 9 p.m., according to state authorities.
He initially was charged with second-degree murder, but those charges were reduced to two counts of felony death by motor vehicle during a Friday afternoon court hearing. The difference between the charges is the absence of suspected malice on the part of the suspect, according to Doug Kinsbery, an attorney representing Doran.
Kepley, who died on the scene, had driven trucks and delivered industrial laundry and dry-cleaning supplies for three years, according to Ken Farrington, an owner of NS Farrington, an industrial laundry supply company.
He just has a real heart for people, and he's always going out of his way, Farrington said. Im just not surprised that he would stop along the side of the road to help someone.
Mike Kepley had last spoken to his younger brother on Wednesday, as he worked his way through a delivery route. He said his brother was on his way to Raleigh, where he planned to sleep before heading home to his wife in Winston-Salem, according to his brother.
He would go out of his way to try to help somebody in need, and last night it cost him his life, said Mike Kepley.
Williams, who was carrying U.S. Navy identification, died later at the hospital.
Doran cant think of much else but the death of the two men and the effect on their families, said attorney Roger Smith Jr. Frankly, hes devastated for the two men, Smith said.
Doran also was charged with felony hit-and-run causing death; reckless driving with wanton disregard for others; misdemeanor driving while impaired; possession of a Schedule 2 drug, the category that includes cocaine; and misdemeanor resisting arrest. The attorneys said that the full picture of the case hadnt emerged and that they werent sure yet of all the details.
Doran, of 740 N. Fort Fisher Blvd. in Kure Beach, attends UNC-Wilmington, according to a student directory and a man who said he worked with Doran.
Marshall is an outstanding person I'm lucky enough to call him a friend, said Tyler Switzer, manager of Pleasure Island Rentals in Carolina Beach. Ive tried getting a hold of his family and friends. Theyre in my prayers everyone involved.
Driving record offers insight
Dorans criminal record includes a charge of speeding last year, which resulted in a verdict of improper equipment; a 2009 charge of reckless driving that resulted in a verdict of improper equipment; and a 2008 larceny charge and misdemeanor paraphernalia and marijuana charges from three dates in 2009 that were all dismissed.
Switzer said he has not seen Doran use or abuse drugs, or drive while impaired. Switzer said Doran, who grew up in Carolina Beach, is typically eager to help others and had volunteered at the last minute to work without pay at a military benefit.
This is completely out of character a mistake was made, and I know it cost two peoples lives, he said, adding that he would leave the question of Dorans potential guilt to a judge.
Authorities originally set Dorans bail at $5 million, but reduced it to $500,000 bail after the court appearance Friday afternoon.

A drive along highways running parallel to the Wabash River's southern miles offers peaceful sights.
The business route of U.S. 50 crosses the Wabash at Vincennes, with the George Rogers Clark Memorial on the Indiana side and a monument honoring the migration of Abe Lincoln and his family to Illinois on the western side. South of Vincennes, Illinois 1 leads to Mount Carmel, land of the riverside Hanging Rock formation, and Grayville, the town that watched the Wabash reroute itself during 1985 flooding. Indiana 69 skirts New Harmony, with its unusual architecture and history. Indiana 62 runs from Mount Vernon, along the Ohio River, to the Wabash, which marks the Illinois-Indiana border.
Maine native Frank Doughman, superintendent of the George Rogers Clark National Historical Park, came to Vincennes 18 years ago. Through 30 years of working for the National Park Service, Doughman had lived in five other states.
He chose to stay in a Wabash River town that preserves and celebrates its legacy, and enjoys it. "I could think of a lot worse places to get stuck," he quipped.
The 26-acre park, and Vincennes itself, give visitors plenty to see. It's been around awhile. When frontier legend Daniel Boone settled Boonesboro, Vincennes already had 600 residents. Clark scored a transformative Revolutionary War victory, capturing Fort Sackville from the British at Vincennes in 1779, an event commemorated by the monument, national park and annual war re-enactments. Over the past decade, the federal government has invested $10 million in improvements to the park, which sits right at the water's edge, Doughman said.
Further downstream, New Harmony beckons for those fascinated by the concept of utopia. Two societies sought perfect harmony — one by a religious group, one by academics and intellectuals — on the banks of the Wabash. Elements of those communities, as well as the avant garde attitude they spawned, remain tourist attractions. The open-air Roofless Church fits that blend of religion, art, history and futuristic structures. So does the "Oculus" special effect — a real-life version of the way the human eye interprets images — added to a cabin by resident landscape artist and architect Jim Buchanan.
"You get all these angles," said MeLissa Williams, visitor services coordinator for Historic New Harmony, "and we're a small town of 1,000."

- 500 Miles of Wabash
MAX JONES: Telling a river's story, in words and pictures
Among a newspaper's most valuable assets are its storytellers, the men and women who employ their journalistic skills and talents to report, write and capture pictures of topics relevant to readers.
500 Miles of Wabash Part I: The Wabash has humble beginnings
FORT RECOVERY, Ohio — The Wabash River reaches its romantic stage far downstream from here.
It begins amid a homely, isolated patch of tall grasses and weeds at the edge of a farm field four miles south of the tiny village of Fort Recovery on the western edge of Ohio.
MARK BENNETT: Living downstream: From source, Wabash bears mark of mankind mile after mile
Something was missing. I'd never visited this spot before, but the view looked familiar. I've walked the banks of the Wabash River and its tributaries countless times, catching crawdads and skipping rocks in Honey Creek as a kid. On the other side of the state, where the Wabash crosses from Ohio into Indiana, trees arched over the water as it ran under a bridge on a quiet country road. It looked like western Indiana, except for one absent element. Litter.
Points of interest along the Wabash: Nondescript origin can fill in some blanks of Hoosiers' Wabash knowledge
For Hoosiers, the birthplace of the Wabash River - in rural western Ohio - amounts to a curiosity point.
500 Miles of Wabash Part II: Where the Wabash gets its name
WABASH — Wearing sweatsuits and smiles, they hold hands and briskly stroll the Wabash River Greenway on a crisp June morning.
Points of interest along the Wabash: Small northern Indiana towns display Wabash front-and-center
BLUFFTON — A quest to see the white limestone bedrock that gave the Wabash River its name requires tenacity.
The Miami Native American tribe labeled the waterway "waapaashiki," meaning "water over white stones," describing the clear river they witnessed in its upper reaches in northern Indiana. Their moniker morphed to "Ouabache" by French fur traders to the pioneers' Anglicized "Wabash." The river water appeared clearer in those Native Americans' days than now, thanks to a murky tint from sediment and nutrients.
500 Miles of Wabash Part III: Lafayette makes Wabash 'magnet'
Thick fog sat atop the Wabash River as the morning sun lit the valley between Lafayette and West Lafayette.
Points of interest along the Wabash: Parks, diners, nightspots — even ice skating — surround Wabash at Lafayette
LAFAYETTE — Lafayette and West Lafayette share the liveliest riverfront on the Wabash.
The most compelling sights depend upon a visitor's tastes.
500 Miles of Wabash Part IV: 'Adventurers' see Wabash's most famed stretch from a different perspective
On the water. Down in the valley.
The view of the Wabash River looks starkly different from that vantage point, compared with overlooks, scenic as they may be.
Points of interest along the Wabash: A few public access points provide unique peeks at river communities
While giving a presentation on the Wabash to a gathering of Indiana State University's Osher Lifelong Living Institute in June, river enthusiast Brendan Kearns asked how many people in the audience had been "on the river."

NetBEUI (NetBIOS Extended User Interface) is a new, extended version of NetBIOS, the program that lets computers communicate within a local area network. NetBEUI (pronounced net-BOO-ee) formalizes the frame format (or arrangement of information in a data transmission) that was not specified as part of NetBIOS. NetBEUI was developed by IBM for its LAN Manager product and has been adopted by Microsoft for its Windows NT, LAN Manager, and Windows for Workgroups products. Hewlett-Packard and DEC use it in comparable products.
NetBEUI is the best performance choice for communication within a single LAN. Because, like NetBIOS, it does not support the routing of messages to other networks, its interface must be adapted to other protocols such as Internetwork Packet Exchange or TCP/IP. A recommended method is to install both NetBEUI and TCP/IP in each computer and set the server up to use NetBEUI for communication within the LAN and TCP/IP for communication beyond the LAN.

With a modern elegant design, incorporating advanced environmental technologies and materials, the Bardessono is undoubtedly the greenest luxury hotel in America.

This place is spanking new and is all about healthy balance. Rustic, but refined; gracious, yet green. Solage takes the natural and makes it truly super, with organic design, thoughtful service and indulgent amenities. The only perceived disadvantage may be that there are no other restaurants within walking distance.

Calistoga, CA 94515
Tucked into a private canyon in the Upper Napa Valley on a 157-acre site marked by ancient oaks, majestic hills, a rock-hewn stream and private lake lies Calistoga Ranch.

A while back I wrote about the upcoming 2012 election and what marijuana reform measures would be on the ballot in the various States. In that piece I mentioned that Missouri would have a ballot initiative for full legalization. Every one expected states like California, Colorado, or Washington to go for full legalization but surprisingly Missouri, a Midwestern state, is in that group. Now I know why.
There is a You Tube video, obtained by a Freedom Of Information Act request, of a police swat raid conducted in 2010. Officers dressed as though they were on a military commando raid break down the door of a young family, shoot the two dogs, and in a ham handed fashion arrest the homeowner over some pipe residue, on , I presume, a no knock warrant to 'destroy the dirty drug dealers who are ruining our country!' You can view the video at this link.
The man was eventually charged with possession of paraphernalia and they dropped the charges of misdemeanor marijuana possession and second degree child endangerment. They should have charged the cops with first degree child endangerment for firing their guns in the first place. I was in tears before the video was finished. Then I got angry. This type of paramilitary police action happens to 100 to 150 families a day across this nation and it must be stopped. I challenge the president, or any legislator currently in office or running for office to watch the video with his or her family and not be moved as I and my family were.
Needless to say, this video is a gift to drug policy reformers everywhere. It is, and should be, shown every chance supporters of reform get to show it. This is a perfect example of the ineffective and totalitarian nature of our prohibitionist policies. We now have a police force not looking out for and helping the citizens, but a paramilitary force imposing the will of the government and corporations on the citizens to keep them in line.
The image of this is all around us. The black uniforms, facemasks, automatic weapons, dogs, clubs, battering rams, and in some cases armored personnel carriers and helicopters are all proof of the militarization of the police as a result of our failed prohibitionist drug policy.
Now I understand why Missouri will have full legalization on the ballot. All they have to do is keep playing that video every day till the election. What are the authorities gonna do, arrest the whole state?

Guide Review - 2010 Toyota FJ Cruiser
I decided to revisit the Toyota FJ Cruiser recently, as I had not driven one since its debut as a 2007 model. Toyota kindly loaned me a 2010 FJ Cruiser 4x4 with a base price of $25,270 ($30,707 as tested), equipped with the Convenience Package ($2,275), the All-Terrain Package ($1,335) and other optional equipment.
When I first drove the FJ Cruiser at its launch, I was mighty impressed. I was quite taken with its retrofuturist exterior design. Back then, I said the the FJ Cruiser was "so cool it's hot." Looking at the FJ four model years down the road, I'm still impressed. The design is so timeless that it is aging quite well, and still looks as striking and fresh today as it did back then.
My reservations about the FJ are few. I sometimes had trouble seeing stoplights if I was the first car in line at the intersection, because the flat windshield and overhanging roof are so far away. The rearview mirror is such a reach from the driver's seat that by the time you lean to adjust it, you've lost the idea for where it should be set. Looking over your right shoulder doesn't help much with the rear side view -- you have to rely on your mirrors and your instincts when changing lanes. I kind of wish there was a factory navigation screen available, with an integrated rear view camera system, but my test vehicle made do with a backup camera monitor built in to the rear view mirror as part of the Convenience Package. The view was a little small, but worked.
There's plenty of function built into the FJ Cruiser. Generous cargo space and luggage space behind the second row mate with easy access via a big swing-out tailgate and a pair of clamshell rear doors that can be opened only when the front doors are already open. As a driver who rarely carries passengers in the second row, I didn't mind this feature, but I know that some families with children might find it an inconvenience. Materials and surfaces inside the FJ are ruggedly family-friendly, and appear to be quite durable.
I didn't challenge the FJ Cruiser to off roading feats during my week with the vehicle. We did traverse a few dirt roads and sandy patches, and I was quite pleased with how little the ride changed from solid pavement to dirt. FJ Cruiser is quite civilized and smooth in most circumstances, and would do fine as a daily driver. A long stretch on the highway revealed a bit of excess wind noise, and a slight susceptibility to buffeting in cross-winds, but that's a sacrifice to styling that seems unavoidable.
I'm still a big fan of FJ Cruiser. I just hope that Toyota is dreaming up some clever improvements for a second generation of the coolest SUV on the planet.

News Article
Yesterday at WonderCon, director Peter Berg appeared to discuss Battleship, his upcoming film adaptation of the classic board game. Of course it's a pretty loose adaptation since the game has no story or characters whatsoever, and the principal antagonists of Berg's film are aliens. "Ah, but what kind of aliens?" you ask. The just-released trailer briefly shows an alien hand emerging from an armored spacesuit, so I asked Berg how much more we'll see of the unarmored aliens in his film, and what went into their design. Find out what Berg told me -- and check out the full image of the new Battleship WonderCon poster featured above -- after the jump.
Regarding how much of Battleship's aliens we'll get to see outside of their armor, Peter Berg commented, "You do see them quite a bit. We walked the walk there. These aliens come from a planet that's got a similar climate to ours. They've got respiratory systems and nervous systems. They can see. They have issues with our oxygen level, and so breathing issues. They're a little more light sensitive. But we see them and come to get a pretty good sense of what they look like and sound like and how they behave. And what you don't want to do around them versus what you do want to do around them."
As for designing the aliens, Berg said, "It was just more my aesthetic, starting with eight really great designers. Then I just started talking about what I liked and what I didn't like. Then they went out and started drawing pictures. Then I would find things that I liked and we'd discuss it and we'd do anatomy drawings where we figured out what kind of origins they had and what kind of skeletal features they had. We'd look at different animal movements, and had dancers come in and different pro football players. We looked at Ndamukong Suh, who's the defensive end on Detroit, who has a little bit of a temper problem. He stomps on people. [Laughs.] He was an inspiration, because here's a six-foot-five, three-hundred-and-thirty-pound man that can move like an NBA Guard with his agility. That was really one of the fun experiences of making a movie like this. World creation and getting to work with guys like George Lucas and his army of geniuses. [But] it starts with moving around toy boats."

The Committee on Women in the Law (CWIL) invites you to
browse this web page for information to help you manage your busy life, family
and your daily practice of law. One of our primary goals is to assist women in
the resolution of issues that constantly face women, including gender bias, pay
equity, the struggle to build a career and reputation in the legal community,
the challenge to find skilled child care and to juggle family issues. The
quality of life issue has become increasingly important as the profession
continues to grow with strong competent women who are continually performing a
balancing act with life and work.
The CWIL remains committed to supporting women in the law and we
welcome your input and participation on issues that are important to you and the
legal profession. If you have any comments or suggestions, please contact
the co-chairs of the CWIL, Ellen Makofsky, at email@example.com, and Ferve Ozturk,
at firstname.lastname@example.com.
The CWIL Best Practices sub-committee has prepared a report and recommendations
outlining initiatives for the New York State Bar Association to recruit, retain, and tap leadership potential from women members.
The initiatives are (1) a targeted career development
program for junior women attorneys, (2) a targeted career development
for women attorneys transitioning back into the workforce, (3) a
partnership program between the NYSBA and New York law firms, (4) a
trailblazer award for women attorneys, and (5) a program
to strengthen the NYSBA online Women's Community.
On June 19, 2014, the NYSBA Executive Committee accepted the report in principle
and directed CWIL to further advise on the structure, logistics, and
funding needs of each proposed initiative for presentation at a future
Execute Committee meeting.

All-star 2012 tribute concert on CD and DVD
This celebration of Woody Guthrie's one hundredth birthday is more like a family gathering than an all-star tribute. That's because every one of these performers is an artistic descendent of Gurthrie's music. It's impossible to overstate Woody Guthrie's impact on popular music, as his themes, songs, style and attitudes have transcended several generations of performers and fans; Guthrie remains a North Star by which folk-derived music is navigated. The song list includes many of Guthrie's best-known and best-loved songs, along with archival lyrics posthumously set to music by Joel Rafael, Lucinda Williams, Jackson Browne and Tom Morello.
Staging this homage as a concert, rather than a collection of studio recordings pulled together over weeks and months, honors one of the basic tenets of Guthrie's work: music as a shared, visceral experience. Guthrie's songs were written for live performance, and every one of the night's performers was fueled by both the material, the stages they've traversed throughout their careers, and each other. The breadth of Guthrie's mastery is evident in material that ranges from endearing children's songs to strident social commentary and searching introspection. The universality of his work is equally evident in the range of musical styles in which his songs are comfortably expressed, and the continuing currency of his topics.
The CD artfully edits the performances into a briskly-paced 77-minute program shorn of between-song banter; the DVD augments the program with a reading from Jeff Daniels and a short speech from Guthrie's daughter, Nora. Both of the spoken pieces, and six of the musical selections are additions to the one-hour PBS broadcast cut. The DVD also adds several extras, including an audio track of Woody Guthrie discussing his early recordings and rare clips of him performing. This tribute concert capped a year-long celebration of Guthrie's centennial that was filled with books, box sets and symposia, and provides a renewed opportunity to remember his empathetic genius.

Is Django a good solution for creating applications that won't use any database and communicate only through an internal API?
Depends what you call 'good'.
However, while you can use django with no database, the object-relational mapper is pretty much its first and foremost advertised feature. Django was designed to produce database-backed web sites, so if you're not going to use a database you might end up dealing with a bunch of unnecessary hassle.
Although there is nothing stopping you from not using a DB in Django, my advice would be: "If you don't need a full stack framework, don't use a full stack framework". Python has many excellent microframeworks that might suit your needs better.
This blog post discusses some of them: http://www.konstruktor.ee/blog/python-web-framework-roundup
My personal favorite is Flask: http://flask.pocoo.org/, but I have not done much real work with it.
From the Django book:
You can use the framework to make a site with some logic in it, but you will be wasting some of its potential. Besides, interacting with the database from Django layer is too easy to ignore it.

A new face will be representing District 2 of Washington County, according to unofficial results from the Minnesota Secretary of State.
Ted Bearth unseated incumbent Bill Pulkrabek for the District 2 seat with 11,123 votes (52 percent). Pulkrabek received 10,054 votes (47 percent).
All 17 precincts reported their numbers just before 2 a.m. Wednesday.
Pulkrabek has served as a Washington County commissioner since 1999. Before that he was the mayor of Oakdale from 1995 to 1999.
Pulkrabek underwent heavy scrutiny when he was involved in a domestic incident stemming from last year.
Bearth has also served as mayor of Oakdale and city council member for a combined total of 26 years. He is an active member of the Oakdale Veterans Memorial Committee and an Oakdale Park Board Commissioner.
All results are unofficial until verified by a canvassing board.
This post will be updated.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Sept. 9, 2004
Correction to calls for service figures in audit report
The City Auditor corrected Exhibit 6 of the "Follow-Up Audit: Kansas City, Missouri, Police Department Patrol Deployment: Blackout Analysis" report released Sept. 1.
Exhibit 6 compared the average number of calls for service by division for 1998 and 2003. The exhibit incorrectly showed increased calls for service in each division. The corrected data show decreases in four divisions and an increase in one division.
The average number of daily calls for service by division are as follows:
Central – 212.2 in 1998, 200 in 2003, -5.7 percent change
Metro – 243.4 in 1998, 162 in 2003, -33.4 percent change
East – 227.3 in 1998, 195.5 in 2003, -14 percent change
North – 89.1 in 1998, 96.8 in 2003, 8.6 percent change
South – 107.9 in 1998, 84.3 in 2003, -21.9 percent change.
The error does not affect the findings or recommendations in the report because it does not affect calculations of blackout – periods when all patrol officers assigned to respond to calls for service in a division are busy and cannot respond to an additional call.
The City Auditor will reprint the report with the corrected data and will update the report on the City Auditor's Web page (www.kcmo.org/auditor) by Sept. 13.

Clearside Biomedical, Inc. is a privately-held ophthalmic pharmaceutical company dedicated to developing and commercializing therapeutics that safely treat diseases of the posterior (back) segment of the eye like macular edema, wet AMD and inflammation. The Company's patented microinjection dosage form is the only non-surgical method for focal delivery of drugs to the retina and choroid through the suprachoroidal space (SCS). Clearside Biomedical has initiated clinical development of its lead product in macular edema following non-infectious uveitis and following retinal vein occlusion, expanded its internal drug development efforts in steroid-sparing anti-inflammatory drugs as well as multikinase inhibitors for wet AMD, and entered into a collaboration with Santen Pharmaceuticals Co., Ltd.
The company reports that these milestones have been reached:
In January 2012, Clearside announced $4 million Series A financing from Hatteras Venture Partners, a venture capital firm based in Research Triangle Park, N.C. Hatteras Venture Partners focuses on seed and early stage prospects in biopharmaceuticals, medical devices, diagnostics, and related opportunities in human medicine. This financing is funding the development of Clearside Biomedical's ocular microinjection platform, the initial clinical testing of the company's lead product for inflammation and the establishment of Clearside Biomedicals' team of scientific experts in offices in Alpharetta and Raleigh.
The Hatteras Venture Partners team brings operational experience, a successful track record, and a proven ability to enhance the value of the companies in which it invests. With four funds, the firm has more than $200 million under management.
"Clearside Biomedical represents an ideal fit for Hatteras Discovery," said Christy Shaffer, Ph.D., Venture Partner and Managing Director of Hatteras Discovery, and Chairman of the Board of Clearside Biomedical. "The platform technology is highly innovative and based on elegant science. The lead product is expected to be in clinical trials in the U.S. in 2013."
The microinjection platform was developed cooperatively by the laboratories of Mark Prausnitz, Ph.D., Regents' Professor and Love Family Professor of Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology, and Henry Edelhauser, Ph.D., Emeritus Professor in the Department of Ophthalmology at Emory University School of Medicine.
The research was supported by the National Eye Institute, which is part of the National Institutes of Health, and by the organization Research to Prevent Blindness.
The researchers' study was reported in the July, 2012 issue of Investigative Ophthalmology & Visual Science. In addition to demonstrating that microneedles can deliver drug molecules and particles to the eye, the study established that the suprachoroidal space could accommodate a variety of drugs and microparticles. This finding could lead to the use of timed-release drugs that may reduce the need for frequent injections to treat chronic eye diseases.

As Apple looks to upgrade the iPhone after the device's five-year anniversary, fans are buzzing over the highly anticipated next model.
Since its inception, the revolutionary device has taken over as the world's premier smartphone and infiltrated the lives of people everywhere. Now, there are rumors swirling of the iPhone 5 being unveiled next month, including a possible thinner and larger display, smaller dock connector, and increased mapping capacity.
As the days grow nearer to the expected release, customers at the in Downtown Palo Alto share their opinions on the company's flagship product.
"The thing I like most about the iPhone is being able to be on-the-go and still staying connected," said one patron. The phone itself has utilized 3G connection since the iPhone 3G model was introduced in 2008.
Nearly one in three smartphone owners carries an iPhone, according to Yahoo! News. While Google's Android still dominates the market, with a number of different phones capable of using its system, Apple's iOS is reputed to be more accessible to the casual smartphone user.
However, the iPhone is not without its faults, according to Apple users we spoke with.
"Battery life is the most important to me. Right now, the functionality is great, but there's no point if you can do all of it for only 8 hours," said another customer.
The iPhone 4S was critically acclaimed, but one of the main gripes about its overall performance was the short battery life, a problem confirmed by Apple. It has not been announced yet if the iPhone 5 will have an improved battery.
Apple and the iPhone have taken the world by storm over these past five years. As the latest in a series of wildly popular phones will descend upon us this next month, fans can only speculate about what the iPhone 5 will bring.
"I have had a Blackberry for the past three years, but every time a new iPhone is released I always ask myself if it's finally time for me to switch," another customer said. "I think with the 5 I might finally make that switch."
Do you have an iPhone? What do you want to see in the iPhone 5? Tell us in the comments!

IRS CALLING SCAMS - March 21
The IRS has seen a recent increase in local phone scams across the country, with callers pretending to be from the IRS in hopes of stealing money or identities from victims. These phone scams include many variations, ranging from instances where callers say the victims owe money or are entitled to a huge refund. Some calls can threaten arrest and threaten a driver's license revocation. Sometimes these calls are paired with follow-up calls from people saying they are from the local police department or the state motor vehicle department.
To protect yourself, never give out your personal or financial information in response to an unsolicited phone call, fax or email, no matter how official it may seem. The Bank will NEVER call, email or text you to ask you for your account number, PIN, or password to your account. If you receive this type of correspondence, it is likely a scam and should be reported to the Bank and law enforcement!

A crash involving three semitrailers and a truck likely stemmed from a group of teens throwing cups full of water onto Interstate 43 from a bridge deck above the highway, according to a press release from the .
A group of three to four male juveniles had been standing on the bridge, throwing water-filled cups onto passing motorists, the release said. They were driving a red or dark-red truck with darker windows in the back, and with smaller seats in the rear of the truck cab. They were likely between 15- and 18-years-old; the driver was a white male wearing a knit-type cap on his head.
The truck is "newer" and on the side window behind the driver there was a decal sticker of an "M" associated with Monster Drink, an updated press release from the county department said. The sticker was green in color with the "claw" design running through the letter "M."
The Ozaukee County Sheriff's Department responded to the crash at 9:17 p.m. Monday on I-43, just north of Cedar Beach Road in Belgium; the right lane of traffic was briefly closed while working to remove the damaged semis from the highway. Wisconsin State Patrol also responded to the incident.
If apprehended, the teens may face a felony charge.
Anyone with information regarding the accident is asked to contact the Sheriff's Department at 262-284-7172.

My final peach season send-off. This treasure was awaiting a friend to join in the fun, we finally got our collective acts together, got the very last of local peaches from the 250 year old orchard up the street. Once our area was full of farms, now we are a 'bedroom community' of NYC, with a handful of small farms (under 5 acre) and 2, quite old, large ones, both orchards who produce corn, tomatoes and rhubarb in the summer as well. I appreciate the seasonal fruits grown right here in suburban-land.

Census setback for Cornish nationals
Posted: December 03, 2009|
A MOVE to include a Cornish nationality tickbox on the 20111 census has been rejected by MPs.
North Cornwall MP Dan Rogerson's amendment to the Draft Census Order 2009 for England and Wales was defeated by 261 votes to 49.
It followed a Facebook campaign backed by more than 3,000 people. The issue of Cornish language and identity was "considered" by the Office of National Statistics but was "not included in the proposals for the 2011 Census".
Speaking after the vote, Mr Rogerson said: "Since we are printing and processing a census anyway, there can hardly be any additional cost to adding a further box for people who want to use it.
"It beggars belief that Labour and Conservative MPs should have entered into this petty, unholy alliance against the Cornish interest.
"What harm would it do to have a Cornish box there and let people tick it if they want?"

Ottumwa Courier
---- — OTTUMWA — All Ottumwa district teachers attended the first of two A.L.I.C.E. training sessions on Wednesday. The training is part of a collaborative effort between the Ottumwa Police Department and Ottumwa Schools to incorporate a new violent intruder response program.
The A.L.I.C.E. Program teaches students and teachers what tactical advantages they have if an intruder situation occurs in their school. The program is divided into five steps: alert, lockdown, inform, counter and evacuate. The program focuses on survival strategies that will save lives.
"The safety of the students and teachers is our only concern," said Dave Harper, Evans Middle School principal and A.L.I.C.E training coordinator. "We believe this program provides the best chance at saving lives in a crisis situation."
A.L.I.C.E. is in response to new guidelines released in 2013 by Vice President Joe Biden for school safety. The guidelines incorporate lessons learned from recent incidents and include multiple options that go beyond the lockdown-only advice published in 2007.
