There's an Ultrabook battery report out from the Electronics TakeBack Coalition – a company that "promotes green design and responsible recycling in the electronics industry" and it doesn't look too good. Only 2 Ultrabooks have been highlighted as having removable batteries but there's a different side to this story that hasn't been considered by the ETBC.

This Goldwater Institute report (pdf) from 2004 is probably a good antidote to the recent study of charter schools in NC. This sliver is particularly germane:
This study finds that charter schools are providing solid early education that propels students through the advanced grades, even though they had lower achievement test scores on average than their traditional public school peers. Charters also reach at-risk students in the middle and high school grades who might otherwise have slipped though the cracks. (Emphasis mine.)
Arizona is not North Carolina, but there are certainly lessons here. If you missed our red clay reaction to the study, go here. -MB

A special committee set up in March to settle a long-running land dispute between 52 families in Kompong Chhnang province and the wife of Mines and Energy Minister Suy Sem has finished its work, leaving 17 families without a deal.
Deputy provincial governor Dork Sothea, who chaired the committee, said the group wrapped up the negotiations last week, having reached pay-out deals for 35 families worth between $1,250 and $1,500 each, already paid by KDC International, the private development firm owned by Mr. Sems wife, Chea Kheng.
Ms. Sothea said the tens of thousands of dollars the rest of the families were demanding was too much and that they would now have to settle their disputes with Ms. Kheng in courton their own.
I will send a report to the governor and the court some time next week informing them that we reached a solution with only 35 families who will accept mon-ey from the company, she said. The other 17 families will need to fight in court by themselves because they demanded too much money.
The company claims it does not have the ability to pay them $20,000 to $30,000, she added. So I will tell the court to process their complaints.
Neither Ms. Kheng nor her companys lawyer, Phat Pauv Seang, could be reached. A representative for Ms. Kheng, Thai Hy, declined to comment.
Reach Seima, one of the 17 who refused to strike a deal with KDC, has also been accused of attempted murder and property damage over an incident last May during which villagers burned down a shed the company had built on the disputed land and allegedly chased down a group of visiting land management officials.
He said the provincial court summoned three fellow villagers for questioning on May 26 and suspected that the move was intended as retaliation for his not accepting KDCs offer.
It is new pressure on me for my repeated refusal to accept the little money from the company, he said. So the company has started to use the court system to intimidate us.
Duch Sinuon, one of the summoned men, said Mr. Seima was innocent of the allegations, adding that more than 40 villagers would go to the court on the day of the questioning to protest.

Police investigate report of a shot fired on Kent State University campus

KENT, Ohio -- Police are combing parts of the Kent State University campus this evening after the report of a shot being fired.
In a campus alert put out minutes ago, people are being asked to stay away from the area around the Bowman residential hall. Students and staff already in the area were told to take shelter.
According to an advisory from Kent State, a shot was fired in the ground near Bowman Hall. Police say the suspect is a black male in dark gym shorts, who has a silver handgun.
The campus is on lockdown. Police, with weapons drawn, are searching the Business Administration building on the west end of campus, one student reported in a twitter message. (See a map of the campus here.)
No injuries have been reported. Police are preparing to evacuate a building on campus, according to scanner traffic.
Anyone with information on the incident is asked to call police 330-672-3070.

Tax for public safety projects gets overhwelming approval in Greeley
November 2, 2004
Greeley voters overwhelmingly approved a ballot measure Tuesday that will raise the city's sales tax to pay for public safety projects including a new police headquarters.
Unofficial election results show 60 percent of voters cast votes in favor of ballot Issue 2A, which asked for a sales-and-use tax increase that will add 16 cents on every $100 in purchases. Forty percent voted no.
"I got to thinking about noon today that we're going to win in a landslide," Police Chief Paul Branham said Tuesday night, as off-duty officers, campaign supporters and city officials sipped celebratory margaritas.
But supporters weren't always so confident. Some initially predicted it would take at least two elections to convince voters.
The future seemed particularly doubtful after debate over where to build the new headquarters left city council divided on whether to send 2A to voters.
Three councilmen, Ed Phillipsen, Carrol Martin and LeRoy Johnson, voted against placing 2A on the ballot after a majority of council selected the former Kmart site in the 2800 block of 10th Street. The three dissenting council members said they wanted the headquarters to stay downtown.

"That was our most nervous moment when we had that split vote," said Alden Hill, president of the Greeley Police Association.
Under mounting pressure from downtown advocates, the council later backtracked on its initial site selection, which was made in closed session, and invited public comment.
But after hours of public testimony, the city council agreed to wait until after the election to choose a site, effectively muzzling a debate that many believed was diverting attention from the central question of whether cops need a new headquarters.
After that, the council unanimously passed a resolution supporting ballot question 2A.
Once the site-selection issue was settled, 2A supporters went into high gear telling voters about conditions at the 36-year-old headquarters at 919 7th St.
Greeley businessman Tom Roche organized a campaign committee and police officers spent off-duty time helping with the cause. Officers and their spouses made yard signs, campaigned door to door and researched voter turnout in Greeley precincts.
Even though voters continued to have questions about the site issue, few questioned the need for a new headquarters, Hill said. Some also had misgivings about whether the city will finish the project swiftly and on budget.
Roche vowed to follow progress of the new police headquarters, tentatively expected to be finished in early spring 2007, to ensure it's finished on time and budget.
One of the first steps will be choosing a building site. Mayor Tom Selders said council intends to do that by Feb. 1.
Selders, Hill and Roche were among many who spent Tuesday night savoring election results — and preparing for challenges ahead.
"This could be the easy part," Hill said of the passage of 2A. "The hard part could be choosing the location. We see the battle brewing."

2007 Texas Spur Jeep Jamboree; Fact or Fiction???
At exactly 12:01 am EST on December 1
, an e-commerce server located somewhere on the East Coast clicked on and began allowing eager participants to start reserving space for one of the hottest Jeep Events in the country. By the morning of December 6th all of the 125 Jeep Spots were sold, leaving a lot of people saying "
How could they already be sold out, it's not even Christmas yet?
" I'm speaking of course about the 3
annual 2007 Texas Spur Jeep Jamboree hosted on the historic Ink's Ranch, located in the gorgeous Oxford, Texas area nestled in the Texas Hill County between Llano and Fredericksburg.
You might find yourself scratching your head and asking; "
"; Why, would nearly 300 Jeep Enthusiasts travel in from as far away as 13 states, pay a hefty $265.00 a seatbelt, not a Jeep, entrance fee... to come and play on the pink granite boulders for two days? Over the weekend I visited with over half the participants and I asked many of them the same question. The responses were as diverse as the guests and the rigs they were driving. Each of the participants I visited with had their own reasons for being here but all of them agreed, this event offered a tremendous value in Off-Roading and it was worth every penny of the admission price! You see, in Texas over 90% of the land is privately owned and the only way for you to off-road your Jeep on this particular property is under the Famous Brand of Jeep Jamboree USA and Mark Smith Off-Roading Inc.
A good number of guests have been coming to the Texas Spur Jeep Jamboree since it began three years ago. A few of us have been attending the area Jeep Jamboree from its South Texas inception 14 years ago when it was hosted at the YO Ranch. But, quite a few guests still raised their hand at the Friday morning Driver's Meeting when asked "
How many of you are here for the first time?
I don't think there is one item or element you can put your finger on that makes this event so successful year after year. It is the magic blending of several key components. For starters, the ranch is magnificent, offering brave participants spectacular vistas of the beautiful Texas Hill County from the top of the massive boulders we affectionately call Watch Mountain, Hunters Hill, Balancing Rock or the arduous hill climb we nicknamed Moab. The trails can be as difficult and risky as you might want to make them, while others are just plain scenic, offering a variety of topography and challenges. A hefty part of the praise belongs to S.A.J.E. San Antonio Jeep Exclusive the area host & guide club. They offer Texas Spur JJUSA Guests: experienced trail guides over the numerous obstacles, while offering encouragement, help, support and when need be; an expert trail repair service.
A large part of the recognition needs to also go to the area Jeep Jamboree USA Coordinators, Tony & Nancy Winkler, who selflessly donate their time to take care of every detail making sure this event is a fun filled vacation for all of their guests. Still, a significant part of the credit needs to go to the Oxford Ranch Campground who catered our meals and provided campsites and RV hook-ups as well as public showers for tent campers wanting to wash off the mud and trail dust after an incredible day of wheelin'. Also, the area hotels and lodges go out of their way to offer Legendary Texas Hospitality to every visitor and deserve a tip of the hat too. Lastly; let's not forget the Legendary Hero of the weekend the toughest four letter word in the world... Jeep!
However, in my not so humble opinion, the real successes of the event should be credited towards the participants themselves. I've been to many Jeep Jamborees over the last ten years and I have to say there is an unusual dynamic created by the diversity of the participants that makes this event so much fun. As I bounced from campfire to campfire looking for energetic conversation and colorful tales from the trail, I was always amazed by just how diverse the make up of each group was. If variety is the spice of life; the magic seasoning for a successful Jeep Events is DIVERSITY with the only common DNA being that we all own and love the Jeep Brand even when we break something on the trail.
All of the participants were treated well by Mother Nature for their timely diligence to an early JJUSA Registration. After nearly 18 months of near drought conditions throughout South Central Texas, we were treated to charitable, well timed rainfall in October of 2006 ensuring a vibrant and colorful wildflower season. Most of the families who drove in were greeted to South Texas by our lush patches of bright purple roadside carpet we locals affectionately call The Texas Bluebonnet. From time to time you would spot the vibrant pink blossom of our famed Mountain Laurel in all their spring splendor. About twelve days prior to the start of the Texas Spur Jeep Jamboree, South Central Texas was washed clean by nearly 8" of much needed rainfall.
We all benefited from the additional rainwater because it added a few scenic water crossings to the low lying trails and riverbeds and made the ranch foliage explode with vibrant colors and the sweet smell of Hill Country Spring. As I visited with Tony Winkler on the phone Thursday afternoon, I could sense the concern in his voice as he recounted the story to me of when the rental company was erecting the massive dining tent - our home away from home for the weekend - while the workers were pounded with a heavy rain shower. He knew if the rain continued it would force us to abort several of our favorite trails for the weekend. Somehow our prayers were answered: on Friday morning we had only a light drizzle, so most of the groups were able to run all the trail we had scheduled.
After a hardy County Breakfast we gathered our sack lunches and organized into our color groups and hit the trails for two days of memorable off-roading fun. Rachel Melcher from JeepTales.com did her job Friday and Saturday evening setting a new team record collecting over 6,900 participant photos from the event. My written review only sets the stage for the weekend. The photos we have posted on JeepTales.com will tell "
The Rest of the Story
" I hope you enjoy our coverage of The 2007 Spring Texas Spur Jeep Jamboree and take pleasure in perusing all of the photo albums below.
As I was preparing to close my review Tony Winkler called me and told me that the second 2007 Texas Spur Jeep Jamboree, scheduled for September 14-16 is already over 50% sold out. If you missed the spring event, you might want to consider joining us again later this year for Texas Spur JJUSA II, 2007. Jeep Jamboree USA added the second event to help accommodate the demand for this memorable trip. Last year in my review of this event I predicted the March 2007 Event would sell out before Christmas. After the overwhelming response and success of this spring's event you may plan on the 2008 Texas Spur Jeep Jamboree selling out faster than a Garth Brooks concert. If tickets last more then three days, I'll be amazed.
See you on the trail soon,

Vietnam's bishops criticize new religion law
In bold words, Vietnam's bishops criticize new religion law They call on the communist government to have an accurate view of religions In bold words, Vietnam's bishops criticize new religion law
Vietnamese bishops pose for a photo at Nha Trang Bishop's House on April 28. A new religion law reinforces
state control over religion in Vietnam, say the bishops. (Photo courtesy of giaophannhatrang.org)
state control over religion in Vietnam, say the bishops. (Photo courtesy of giaophannhatrang.org)
Vietnamese bishops have told high ranking communist officials they are critical of a new religion law that is to take effect next year while also finding fault with the government's belligerence toward religions.
In a formal statement, the bishops criticized the Law on Belief and Religion because it "continues to strengthen asking-and-granting mechanism."
The bishops' statement said the law replaces words "asking permission" and "giving permission" with "registering, informing, proposing," which still request "religions to inform government authorities about their activities that authorities may or may not approve."
"This mechanism shows that religious freedom is really not considered a human right but a grace that needs permission (from the government)," said the statement signed by Archbishop Joseph Nguyen Chi Linh, head of the Catholic Bishops' Conference of Vietnam and Bishop Peter Nguyen Van Kham, its secretary general.
"It is the mechanism itself to legalize the government's intervention in religions' internal issues and its tight control over religious activities," they said.
The bishops' statement was addressed to Nguyen Thi Kim Ngan, chairwoman of the National Assembly, and 500 assembly members who are attending their month-long meeting in Hanoi. Most of them are Communist Party members.
In their statement, the bishops criticized the government's views of religions and religious organizations. "The government views pure religions with political aspects and regards them as antagonistic forces," the statement said.
The bishops stated that vague and abstract phrases such as "division of the nation and religions" and "infringement of national defense, security, social order" are repeated many times in the law. Such phrases they said, "are easily abused to shift responsibility onto and condemn religious organizations when the government is dissatisfied."
The law was ratified by the National Assembly last November and is set to take effect Jan. 1, 2018. It is the first ever law on religions since the country was reunified under communist rule in 1975.
Controlling all religious activities
In their statement, the bishops also said the government uses manpower and spends much money monitoring, probing and controlling all religious activities, while trying to use religious organizations as its tools.
The bishops pointed out that at state-run education centers, Catholicism is expressed with prejudice and hostility that create a wrong impression about the Catholic Church among the young generation. They also warned the government that such activities that will lose religions' real characters and divide followers.
They said charitable, educational and health care work done by religions is undervalued and even banned.
The bishops said religions, as well as the Catholic Church "always journey with the nation because they promote spiritual values in people, educate followers to respect justice and rights, do charity and respect human dignity." Those activities aim to develop the nation's fine traditions and build a society of justice, democracy and civilization, they added.
'Journeying' with the nation
The statement said, "the nation" is different from "political regimes that change by time." Journeying with the nation means "journeying with people including the poor and marginalized that form the Vietnamese people and their cultural and spiritual heritages," they added.
The government has called on religions to journey with "the nation" that it intentionally refers to the communist rule.
"The national assembly needs to have a more active vision on religions and religious organizations," the bishops said. "A proper vision on religion will be a premise of respecting people's true religious freedom."
The bishops hoped the national assembly would welcome their frank and honest criticism that comes from their patriotism and responsibility toward history.
They also hoped that the government would create conditions for religions to actively participate in building the country with prosperity, democracy and happiness.
The Catholic Church serves 7 million Catholics in Vietnam. The Vietnamese government currently recognizes 39 religious organizations from 13 religions, with 24 million followers.

On July 14th,2014 we will be running YWAM Turner Valley's first ever Mountain Venture DTS. Although DTS's have been running here for more than 25 years, never has our DTS had this kind of a focus or intentional interaction with the Rocky Mountains located in our backyard.
Scripture shows how God speaks to his people over and over while they are in the wilderness. He reveals more of his character and builds faithfulness in his people. It's in considering this that we decided to take the plunge into the wilderness with our DTS as well. Personal challenges in hiking, canoeing, camping, horseback riding, mountain biking, and rafting are a great way for our students to become more confident and step out of their comfort zone. We felt that a deliberate time set apart to know God in his creation, along with themed lectures and one-on-one discipleship would be a great asset to each student's personal growth, while drawing closer to the person of Jesus. Our desire is that this would become fuel for each student as they step out on outreach, sharing the love of Jesus.
Our Mountain Venture Discipleship Training School (DTS) is a 5 month program consisting of 2 phases, lectures and outreach. The 12 weeks of lectures are themed with the nature and character of God, bible study, prayer, godly relationships, evangelism, world view and missions. Each week will consist of lectures taught by varied speakers, small group discussions, one-on-ones with staff, work duties around the ministry campus, corporate worship and prayer as well as a chance to head into the Rockies.
The 8 week outreach will give each student an opportunity to put into practice some of what they have learned throughout the lecture phase. There will be opportunity to serve the less fortunate and share the love of Jesus through mercy ministries, teaching, running children's programs, evangelism, and service projects while on outreach.
We are looking for people who have a desire to get to know God in a deeper way, while experiencing more of his heart through his creation, his word, and his people. Know anyone who may be interested in a little adventure and a chance to get to know God more? Please don't hesitate to contact us.

How to use adjectives
Form of Adjectives
1. Adjectives are invariable:
They do not change their form depending on the gender or number of the noun.
|A hot potato
|Some hot potatoes
2. To emphasise or strengthen the meaning of an adjective use 'very' or 'really':
|A very hot potato
Some really hot potatoes.
Position of adjectives
a) Usually in front of a noun: A beautiful girl.
b) After verbs like "to be", "to seem" , "to look", "to taste":
- The girl is beautiful
- You look tired
- This meat tastes funny.
c) After the noun: in some fixed expressions:
- The Princess Royal
- The President elect
- a court martial
d) After the noun with the adjectives involved, present, concerned:
- I want to see the people involved/concerned (= the people who have something to do with the matter)
- Here is a list of the people present (= the people who were in the building or at the meeting)
Be careful! When these adjectives are used before the noun they have a different meaning:
- An involved discussion = detailed, complex
- A concerned father = worried, anxious
- The present situation = current, happening now

Today many bloggers will be sharing posts about compassion as part of the 1000 Voices Speak for Compassion project. My post for this project stems from a lesson I learned about compassion following an event my friends and I now call "The Great Cookie Theft."
"A lack of compassion is just as vulgar as an excess of tears." Lady Violet Grantham, Downton Abbey
To help set the stage for my story, allow me to explain the significance of the annual DiNoto Cookie Bake. I have written about it before. In case you are a new reader, this day of fun takes place each year on the last Saturday in November. My parents, five older sisters, family and friends gather at my sister Caroline's house and spend the day making a variety of cookie recipes. At the end of the day, we box up the treats to take home, filling our freezers with the staples for the many cookie trays we will all give away as gifts during the holidays. My sisters Caroline and Donna started this tradition with my mother in 1990. We have been baking together each year since.
In April 2010 we learned of my sister Mary Jane's terminal diagnosis of glioblastoma, brain cancer. Following her lead and her wishes, we continued our activities as always. We planned for our annual cookie baking not knowing if it would be the last opportunity for her to join us in person for our gathering. My parents and sisters, nieces and a great niece, friends and cousins all came to Caroline's house in late November. While we treasure time together each year, this day was special due to the question nobody wanted to acknowledge. Would this be our last year to bake with Mary Jane? We were granted another year, but we didn't know it then.
I went home from our marathon baking session as I usually do – laden with cookie tins and containers full of delicious morsels. My Personal Assistant, I'll call her M, packed the cookies away in my freezer then packed a suitcase for my upcoming business trip to western New York. I left the next morning for two days with my colleagues, not imagining anything would happen in my absence.
I returned home to find my front door unlocked. Odd, but not out of the question. The apartment managers had confirmed some repairs might be performed while I was away. But once I turned on the light, I knew something was very wrong. Instead of seeing my television and DVD player in the corner, I saw empty space.
I immediately left the apartment while I called the police. The local officer arrived within five minutes and efficiently cleared the apartment, verifying the thieves were not still inside. I gave a statement after a cursory review of my apartment indicated no other valuables were missing. I provided a list of my Personal Assistant employees to the officer. Noting his interest when I said M's name, I told him she was finishing my grocery shopping and would be at my apartment in ten minutes. He left to interview my neighbors while waiting for M to arrive.
When M showed up, with bags of food, she gave what I later came to call her "Oscar worthy performance." The rage and indignation she portrayed even included tears and a runny nose. Who would do such a thing? What level of character steals from a woman with a disability? I'm sure you can imagine the language she used to describe the burglars. She spouted off as she put my groceries away, pausing only when she opened my freezer to shriek, "Denise! They're gone!"
Sure enough – the freezer was empty. At that moment, as I realized the thieves had stolen my cookies, the crime became personal and I burst into tears. I could live, I had lived, without a television. But discovering they had taken my cookies, the cookies I made with my family, perhaps the last cookies I would ever bake with my sister Mary Jane, was more than I could handle. I sat sobbing, crying with M, knowing I wanted those responsible to pay the maximum penalty.
The police conducted their investigation, and before long it was clear M was involved in the crime. Although she never admitted to any part in it, and the culprits never identified her, the police were certain the burglars gained entry to my apartment with her assistance, especially when they learned she was friends with PP, the man who would eventually be charged in the burglary. Proof came when a subject told the officer he knew of a "job" PP had coordinated in my apartment community. According to the subject, "You wouldn't believe the cookies we got from this one job. I've never seen such variety in one place!" I
think hope it is the only time the DiNoto cookies were ever mentioned in a police report.
Two days later, I learned PP had also stolen a debit card from my apartment and tried to use it at a local Wal-Mart. This elevated the crime to a felony, rather than a misdemeanor. I was glad to hear this news because PP had disrupted my life and I wanted him to PAY! I was angry and wanted revenge more than I had ever wanted it before.
The following week, my co-workers surprised me with a generous gift. I wheeled into my cubicle and found the floor covered by grocery bags full of baking supplies. Flour, sugar, brown sugar, chocolate chips, vanilla, baking soda, baking powder – even eggs! They had also provided me with a gift card to help me replace some of the stolen tins and containers. Overwhelmed by conflicting emotions, I began to cry. I was gloating over the perpetrator of a crime being sent to jail and facing harsher punishment, advocating for maximum sentencing, unable to show compassion or forgiveness because of the rawness of my hurt. My friends were showing such compassion and generosity to me and I felt unworthy of these gifts when I was unable to feel any compassion towards those who had wronged me.
It took me almost a year to move out of anger towards compassion because of one reason. I could not find any empathy for PP or M. I was too mired in hurt, too caught up in the daily challenges caused by this crime to my personal routine to consider the mental health illness and addiction which drove PP and M to plan and commit burglary. PP sold my $600 television for $80 so he could buy drugs. M, who had been my employee for over a year, was also addicted. She did such a good job hiding it, I never knew of her drug use until after the burglary. A single mother of two, she lived hand to mouth through multiple part time jobs, scoring when she could through various means. When I fired her, she was unable to support her children and placed her three year old son in temporary custody with his grandmother. Yes, both PP and M made bad choices and were responsible for their actions. But I was not the only one negatively impacted by their choices.
I like to think of myself as an empathetic and compassionate person, but the truth is I find it almost impossible to connect or show empathy towards others when I dwell on my own hurt or day-to-day struggles. I tend to become so focused on my own pain, or what I need to do in the moment to solve a problem, that considering the perspective of another takes conscious and deliberate effort on my part. I suspect I am not the only one who faces this struggle.
Here's the rub though – when I force myself to consider another person's perspective, to embrace empathy, to cultivate compassion, I always feel better than when I stay in my own anger, stress or resentment. Instead of feeling bitter, I feel purposeful. Instead of feeling isolated in my perceived suffering, I feel connected to those around me. Brené Brown, in a popular TED Talk, describes empathy as "feeling with people." I agree with her statement, "empathy fuels connection." Connection is what enables us to feel more compassion towards others.
I was only able to begin to move out of anger when I was able to find empathy for PP and M. Since the cookie theft, my personal involvement with loved ones who live with addictions and mental illnesses of their own has given me a clearer picture of the desperation which leads people to make the choices they make. I still don't condone or approve always, but I am more understanding than I was. Finding empathy does not mean I have truly forgiven PP and M for their actions if I am honest with myself, but having empathy for their struggles has helped me show compassion towards others who face similar struggles.
Cultivating compassion is a choice, one that makes it difficult for me to maintain anger and resentment for extended periods of time. When I am cultivating compassion, I am not only making myself happier but I am hopefully connecting with others on a meaningful level. These authentic relationships are much more rewarding than the isolation and hurt created when I stew in feelings of anger and resentment. While it is not always my first response to chose compassion, as someone who is striving to be more charitable towards others this year, it is my goal to make it my choice more regularly than I may have in the past.
Today, when more than 1200 bloggers are writing about compassion, I challenge you to examine how you make compassion a part of your life. Is anything preventing you from cultivating compassion? What could you do to help find compassion in your own difficult moments?

I have been diligently scouring the Vehicle and Traffic Law and researching relevant case law precedents to craft a defense to my recent traffic ticket. Allegedly, I disobeyed a traffic control device. Click here for details.
As a New York traffic lawyer whose law firm fights the most traffic tickets throughout New York State, I need to win this case for pride (not to mention the $130 fine and surcharge).
Giselle Dragon, our cracker jack paralegal, noticed right away that the officer omitted certain information. Specifically, he failed to write the expiration date of my registration. However, unlike a parking ticket, omission of these types of details is not fatal (although it can be used to attack the officer's carefulness and credibility at the traffic trial).
She then pointed out that the ticket says "pavement markings" which here is helpful for me Disobeying a traffic control device is a catch-all moving violation. It refers to any sign, pavement marking or other official DOT device which restricts or prohibits certain movement. By writing pavement marking, the officer is narrowing the scope of this charge to a specific type of traffic control device.
More importantly, here, he claims that I improperly used the acceleration lane to pass motorists on the right. However, there really is no pavement marking which I disobeyed. At best, I crossed a broken white line but that's not illegal. Motorists cross these types of pavement markings all the time. Further, in my case, there actually were no markings on the pavement separating the right lane from the acceleration lane. See photo below.
So, here is my defense. I am charged with disobeying pavement markings which don't exist and, even if they do exist, would not be the type that restricted or prohibited me from crossing them. Having years of experience as a traffic lawyer, I can tell you that this type of legal argument is much more compelling to a judge than simply saying "I didn't do it".
Stay tuned. A not guilty plea will be entered and updates to then follow.

I don't know If I said it already but …Great site…keep up the good work. 🙂 I read a lot of blogs on a daily basis and for the most part, people lack substance but, I just wanted to make a quick comment to say I'm glad I found your blog. Thanks, 🙂
A definite great read..Jim Bean
I am in Florida and over here $69 is all we need to get out of a traffic ticket. I haven't paid a ticket in 10 years now. How much do you charge in New York?
Ellie, Florida is very different from New York (and most of the country for that matter). As I understand, you pretty much can get out of any ticket by paying money. Florida traffic lawyers charge only $69 to $99 because they can bundle dozens of cases together.
New York is quite different. In some places you can plea bargain and in others you cannot. At courts that allow plea bargaining, you can get a more favorable result in exchange for pleading guilty to the lesser charge. The type of plea bargain depends on the court, the prosecutor, your driving record and the type of ticket before the court.
On the other hand, in courts which do not allow plea bargaining (New York City, western New York, Rochester and Buffalo), you must either plea guilty or not guilty. If you plead not guilty, then your case will be scheduled for a trial where you will either win or lose.
Unlike most lawyers, we do not charge by the hour or appearance. Rather, we charge a flat fee to cover your entire case from beginning to end. From entering a plea, scheduling your case, fighting it and completing any loose ends, we handle it all. Our flat fee generally starts at $350 but can be higher depending on the circumstances. We offer free consultations and ticket reviews. It is our pleasure to answer any questions that a prospective client may have. Even if you don't hire us, we are happy to give you advice and try and make fighting your case as easy as possible.
Thanks for submitting your question and reading my blog.

Israel and weapons of mass destruction
|Weapons of mass destruction
|By type
|By country
Israel is widely believed to possess weapons of mass destruction, and to be one of four nuclear-armed countries not recognized as a Nuclear Weapons State by the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT).[1] The US Congress Office of Technology Assessment has recorded Israel as a country generally reported as having undeclared chemical warfare capabilities, and an offensive biological warfare program.[2] Officially, Israel neither confirms nor denies possessing nuclear weapons.
Nuclear weapons[edit]
It is believed that Israel had possessed an operational nuclear weapons capability by 1967, with the mass production of nuclear warheads occurring immediately after the Six-Day War.[2] Although no official statistics exist, estimates of Israeli nuclear weapons range from 75 to as many as 400.[3][4][5][6] It is unknown if Israel's reported thermonuclear weapons are in the megaton range.[7] Israel is also reported to possess a wide range of different systems, including neutron bombs, tactical nuclear weapons, and suitcase nukes.[8] Israel is believed to manufacture its nuclear weapons at the Negev Nuclear Research Center.
Nuclear weapons delivery[edit]
Nuclear weapons delivery mechanisms include Jericho 3 missiles, with a range of 4,800 km to 6,500 km (though a 2004 source estimated its range at up to 11,500 km), and which are believed to provide a second-strike option, as well as regional coverage from road mobile Jericho 2 IRBMs. Israel's nuclear-capable ballistic missiles are believed to be buried so far underground that they would survive a nuclear attack.[9][10] Additionally, Israel is believed to have an offshore nuclear second-strike capability, using submarine-launched nuclear-capable cruise missiles, which can be launched from the Israeli Navy's Dolphin-class submarines.[11] The Israeli Air Force has F-15I and F-16I Sufa fighter aircraft which are capable of delivering tactical and strategic nuclear weapons at long distances using conformal fuel tanks and supported by their aerial refueling fleet of modified Boeing 707's.[12]
In 2006, then Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert appeared to acknowledge that Israel had nuclear weapons when he stated on German TV that Iran was "aspiring to have nuclear weapons as America, France, Israel, Russia".[13][14][15] This admission was in contrast to the long-running Israeli government policy of deliberate ambiguity on whether it has nuclear weapons. The policy held that Israel would "not be the first to introduce nuclear weapons in the Middle East."[16] Former International Atomic Energy Agency Director General Mohamed ElBaradei regarded Israel as a state possessing nuclear weapons.[17] Much of what is known about Israel's nuclear program comes from revelations in 1986 by Mordechai Vanunu, a technician at the Negev Nuclear Research Center who served an 18-year prison sentence as a result. Israel has not signed the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), but supports establishment of a Middle East Zone free of weapons of mass destruction.[18]
Chemical weapons[edit]
Israel has signed but not ratified the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC).[19] In 1983 a report by the CIA stated that Israel, after "finding itself surrounded by frontline Arab states with budding CW capabilities, became increasingly conscious of its vulnerability to chemical attack... undertook a program of chemical warfare preparations in both offensive and protective areas... In late 1982 a probable CW nerve agent production facility and a storage facility were identified at the Dimona Sensitive Storage Area in the Negev Desert. Other CW agent production is believed to exist within a well-developed Israeli chemical industry."[20][21]
There are also speculations that a chemical weapons program might be located at the Israel Institute for Biological Research (IIBR[22]) in Ness Ziona.[23]
190 liters of dimethyl methylphosphonate, a CWC schedule 2 chemical used in the synthesis of sarin nerve gas, was discovered in the cargo of El Al Flight 1862 after it crashed in 1992 en route to Tel Aviv. Israel insisted the material was non-toxic, was to have been used to test filters that protect against chemical weapons, and that it had been clearly listed on the cargo manifest in accordance with international regulations. The shipment was from a U.S. chemical plant to the IIBR under a U.S. Department of Commerce license.[24]
In 1993, the U.S. Congress Office of Technology Assessment WMD proliferation assessment recorded Israel as a country generally reported as having undeclared offensive chemical warfare capabilities.[2] Former US deputy assistant secretary of defense responsible for chemical and biological defense Dr. Bill Richardson said in 1998 "I have no doubt that Israel has worked on both chemical and biological offensive things for a long time... There's no doubt they've had stuff for years."[25]
Biological weapons[edit]
Israel is believed to have developed an offensive biological warfare capability.[2] The US Congress Office of Technology Assessment records Israel as a country possessing a long-term, undeclared biological warfare program.[2] Israel is not a signatory to the Biological Weapons Convention (BWC).[26] It is assumed that the Israel Institute for Biological Research in Ness Ziona develops vaccines and antidotes for chemical and biological warfare.[27] It has not been possible to conclude whether Israel currently maintains an offensive biological weapons program; it is speculated that Israel retains an active ability to produce and disseminate biological weapons.[28]

Israel is believed to have the capacity to produce chemical warfare agents, and probably has stocks of bombs, rockets, and artillery shells. Public reports that a mustard and nerve gas production facility was established in 1982 in the Dimona restricted area are apparently erroneous. Israel is also probably poised to rapidly produce biological weapons, though there are no public reports of currently active production effort or associated locations.…Israel's primary chemical and biological warfare facility is at Nes Ziyyona [Noss Ziona], near Tel Aviv. The Israeli Institute for Bio-Technology is believed to be the home of both offensive and defensive research.

Israel does not stockpile or produce BW in large-scale today. However, we assess that Israel has a breakout capability for biological weapons and also CW, i.e. the knowledge needed to implement theoretical knowledge into the practical management of production and deployment of CBW. The knowledge base would be the one that was built during the 1950s and 1960s where today's advanced research can be used to upgrade potential BW and CW agents and their behaviour in the environment. We have not found any conclusive evidence that show that Israel's offensive programs still remain active today.

One of the biggest mobile manufacturing company, Nokia, which once ruled over the globe for about a decade, faced its first debacle after the launch of Android OS and iOS. To compete with its counterparts, Nokia made a fatal mistake of producing only Windows phones, which turned out to be a major fiasco. Nokia, later, sold its maximum share to Microsoft corporation. However, to fight back its position in the smartphone industry, Nokia decided to relaunch its Android Nokia mobiles in 2017. After making some interesting announcements about the launch of its upcoming handsets including Nokia Edge and Nokia 8, the company is apparently all set to amuse the consumers further with its latest handset Nokia 9. Nokia 9, the highly anticipated but yet to be confirmed flagship Nokia Android phone, has once again been leaked. According to a new report, the Nokia 9 top-end smartphone - which was earlierContinue reading »

Apple to launch its first curved screen iPhone handsets
If rumors are to be believed, Apple has placed an order for 70 million bendable Organic light-emitting diode (OLED) panels with Samsung to use in the next iPhone handsets. The new premium iPhone 8 models, which are likely to be launched in late 2017, will be waterproof and can be charged wirelessly. It will be the first time when Apple will adopt a curved OLED screen for its iPhones, marking a major overhaul and generating high expectations for the model. Apple is expected to launch three iPhone 8 models for the handset's 10th anniversary. The premium iPhone 8, which is believed will cost more than $1,000, will sport a slightly curved OLED screen. That panel is expected to have a screen of 5.2 inches. The other two handsets, measuring 4.7 inches and 5.5 inches, will adopt existing liquid crystal display technology without curved screens. Besides, the major new model will apparentlyContinue reading »

Many parents consider themselves to be pretty "tech-savvy" or at the very least to have some sort of awareness of the APPs our kids use, right? The truth is that even though our children may be friends with us on Facebook, Instagram, and even Snapchat, there is so much we don't always know. We thought we knew all about the dangers of Tinder and KIK and that we had perhaps solidified the rules about online behaviour… so we felt comfortable. Maybe too comfortable too soon…
A story from a Mom:
"Recently, my son finished his homework on a family computer and I felt prompted to check the history. Everything checked out except for a social media account that I didn't recognise. It was a private account and I just had a weird feeling about it. With a little bit of mother-sleuthing, I was able to deduce that the account was his. I was really taken aback!
I usually keep track of my kids' online behaviour, but then I just … stopped. However, technology keeps moving forward and provides my kids with new ways to connect and communicate online, many of which–I am sad to admit–I had no idea about.
We need to do better. We need to be aware of the Apps that are available because most likely, our kids already are. In fact, my children knew about all of these, and had seen many of them on friends' devices."
At Secure Rite we know that security requirements have spread far wider than just your physical home. There is a silent threat that lurks in our homes every day and if we do not stay informed and make it our business, our children could fall prey.
Here are just some Apps we believe parents should know about:
This App allows viewers to participate in online communities focused on similar interests, from Anime or Star Wars to sexy role-playing. It includes features for chatting, messaging, picture sharing, etc., all with strangers.
This is a live streaming App. Users create content and broadcast live to viewers that do not need to register any personal info or provide age verification. Anyone who has an account can access your child's "live stream," and your child has access to others' live streams that often contain nudity and offensive language and behaviour.
3. Music.ly
This sister site to Live.ly is promoted as a fun App for "kids" to lip synch and create their own music videos to share. Just like Live.ly, there is no age verification. All you need to sign up is a phone number, Facebook, Instagram or an email (any of which are easy to fake). It allows easy access to your child's profile as well. There are sexualized media, pornography, and cruel bullying on Musical.ly–and not just kid-to-kid, but adults bullying kids.
This is an online chat forum in which two strangers are paired up based on similar interests and can chat via messages and video. The typical chat starts with "ASL": Age? Sex? Location? This is one that my kids told me, "Don't even open Omegle. You will not believe what you can see."
Formerly called 'Yellow'. This is a free App allowing users to connect (flirt) with others in their local area, similar to Tinder. There is no age verification to use the App, and it links up with Snapchat and Instagram, allowing strangers complete access to profile information and pictures. Yubo has also been linked to drug dealers and has said to be a platform of choice on which drugs are sold.
A comparison and rating App. Users send in their picture to be rated by others, and have the opportunity to view the "hottest" users in their area and connect with them.
This site has been linked to some of the worst cases of cyberbullying. It allows users to ask anonymous questions. There is no way to know who is following you or who posted the question.
This is a dieting App that allows users to track their fasting activity. It has become very popular with youth who struggle with eating disorders. The App has a social media feature that connects the user with other fasters by creating profiles. Through the Vora Facebook page, users encourage each other to extend their fasts.
Hiding Apps: Some examples that fit into this category are Private Photo (Calculator%), Gallery Lock Lite, Best Secret Folder, and Keep Safe. These apps allow a person to hide messages, pictures, etc., but show up as an innocuous icon, such as calculator or clock when someone else logs into the phone.
Social Media Apps: These apps include Snapchat, Instagram, Tumblr, Twitter, and Pinterest. It is important to keep in mind that most apps have inherent risks. Messages and pictures on Facebook, Snapchat and Instagram are easily deleted after being received or sent. It is also becoming very common for kids to create fake accounts on Instagram (and other social platforms) called "finstas." Pinterest and Tumblr can have very questionable material as well, not just of a sexual manner, but in relation to self-harm, suicide, and other violence. Just because something has been around for a while does not reduce dangers!
The purpose of this article is purely to drive awareness in our continued efforts as both a Security business and as parents to keep our residents safe. It is vital that we stay informed and alert to any and all possible threats to our families.
So what can we do to keep our children safe online?
1. Educate yourself and stay up to date with new apps. Every few weeks do a quick online search for "new social media apps." Get familiar with the apps before your kids. Don't allow yourself to get too comfortable and don't shy away from technology you don't understand.
2. Discuss the apps/sites you find with your kids, ask them what they know, and keep the lines of communication open. Have monthly meetings with your family dedicated to all things involving the internet, apps, device usage, etc. You can even assign older kids to report on certain topics. Try having a 'family council' to discuss this.
3. Set appropriate parental controls, age restrictions for downloading apps, time restrictions, etc.
4. Check your kids' devices frequently and thoroughly. Connect to all of the apps from your child's device. View the child's activity, messages, contacts etc. Some companies, like Bark, offer software to help you monitor kids' activity on phones and apps. Be aware of your kids' friends online and offline.
5. Educate your children on the dangers of "oversharing" online. Teach them that every move we make does not have to be documented online, and remind them that social media is not a diary or a personal photo album.
6. Most importantly, maintain a connected relationship with your kids. Spend time with them, tell them you love them, and express your appreciation for them. Rely more on your relationship with them than filters and other safeguards!
Please keep us informed if you discover any new or strange Apps on your children's devices. Remember to contact Secure Rite for all your home and business security needs.

Top 10 Benefits Of Papaya
We all know that papaya is delicious to eat. But, do you know it can be used to treat dengue? Packed with nutrients, papaya reduces inflammation and fights diseases.
By Monali Bordoloi • 7 min read
Rajiv Das likes to eat papaya a lot. He can have papaya any time of the day. One day when Rajiv Das falls ill and is tested positive for dengue, his family members panicked, except him. Next day, Rajiv went out early in the morning and came back after collecting some papaya leaves. To his family's surprise, he informed them that papaya leaves are often used as a cure for dengue.
When Padmaja Kaushik was diagnosed with diabetes, the first thing she did was remove sweet papaya juice from her breakfast as doctors advised her not to eat sweet food. What she didn't realise was that the sweet papaya is full of fibre and in fact very good for diabetics.
Here are 10 benefits of consuming papaya:
1. Treats dengue
According to Priya Kathpal, a leading nutrition consultant of Chennai, "Papaya is a very a popular fruit for its easy availability, affordability and for its great taste. It has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and digestive properties. It also has anti-ageing and skin-healing properties.
Traditionally, papaya leaves are used as a cure for dengue. Dengue is an infection where the blood platelets counts drop dangerously. Dengue patients are asked to drink the extract or juice from the leaves of papaya leaves to increase the platelet count.
Case studies have indicated that the extract or juice of papaya leaves contain some enzymes named chymopapain and papain which help boost platelets count in dengue patients and relieve symptoms. Papaya leaf extract preparations are available in the form of capsules and liquid formulas. About 20-25 ml of papaya leave juice is recommended twice a day for a week for a quick increase in platelet count. However, papaya leave juice may lead to stomach upset in some cases, it's better to start it in small quantity and increase it gradually."
2. Improves digestion
The enzyme papain in papaya is helpful in breaking down protein, which in turn helps in digestion. Since long, papaya is used as a solution for constipation. Because of it protein-breaking powers, papaya is also used as a meat tenderiser.
3. Fights inflammation
Papaya has many healthy antioxidants which are easily absorbed by our body. These beneficial antioxidants fight and reduce inflammation in the body. It has also been used to treat ulcers as it helps in healing wounds and burns.
4. Protects the skin
Papayas are widely used in beauty regimes for its ability to keep our skin looking toned and radiant. The beneficial antioxidants in papaya help our skin fight sun damages. It is a good protection against wrinkles too. Rich in vitamin C, vitamin E and antioxidants like beta-carotene, papaya prevents your skin from free radical damage and thereby delays signs of ageing.
5. Good for diabetes
Even though papaya is sweet, it has a low glycemic index. Studies found that eating raw papaya help maintain blood sugar level because of its high fibre content.
6. Helps in weight loss
Papaya without worry as papaya is low in calories and therefore proves to be a superfood for weight loss. A serving of 140 grams of papaya contains only 60 calories, with total fat 0.4 gram and no cholesterol, 15.7-gram carbohydrates and 2.5-gram dietary fibre.
The considerable amount of dietary fibre makes one feel full for a long time, ideal for weight-watchers. It helps in good bowel movement too.
7.Lowers cholesterol levels
The dietary fibre, vitamin C and antioxidants present in papaya together prevent cholesterol build up in arteries. Thereby preventing serious diseases like heart attack and hypertension.
8. Protects against arthritis
It is said that papayas are good for bone health as they have anti-inflammatory properties along with Vitamin C. These properties help in reducing the risk of developing various forms of arthritis at a later stage.
9. Protects the eyes
Vitamin A, which is present in papaya, is required to protect our vision from age-related degenerating.
10. Eases menstrual pain:
If you suffer from period pain, have a large serving of papaya. Papaya is a very good remedy for menstrual pain and cramps. The enzyme called papain present in papaya helps in regulating and easing flow during menstrual periods thereby reducing pain and cramps.

Karnataka-cadre IAS officer Anurag Tiwari (36) was killed mysteriously in Uttar Pradesh on Wednesday. His body was thrown on road side on his birthday.
The officer was a native of Uttar Pradesh's Bahraich and was working as the
Deputy Commissioner in Bidar in Karnataka. But he was killed on Wednesday under mysterious circumstances in UP. He was identified later by the police by his belongings and ID. The body was sent to postmortem which showed that he had few injuries on chin. Initially the doctors hesitated to give full details about his death and wanted to prove it as a heart attack. But however the postmortem failed to come to a conclusion about his death and hence his blood and viscera samples have been preserved.
But the preliminary investigations have revealed that Anurag Tiwari was investigating a massive scam in Karnataka related to food and civil supplies and consumer affairs and was about to expose few big names in government. His brother Alok Tewari said that Anurag had recently uncovered a huge Rs 2000 crore scam in the Karnataka government and was under tremendous pressure to drop the investigation. He also said that he had submitted the investigation report to his superiors but they had not taken any actions.
His parents also reiterated that their son was threatened by powerful people in karnataka government after he unearthed the massive scam.
His father told the press that his son wanted to change the cadre, but his proposal was rejected by his seniors. His leave application was also rejected and was under tremendous stress.
When asked about the incident, Karnataka Food and Civil supply minister U T Khader rejected claims about scams in his ministry and said there was no information about it. But this is not the first time IAS and IPS officer are targeted in Karnataka under the Congress rule.
Just a year after Siddaramaiah government took over, D K Ravi, an IAS officer was murdered under mysterious condition. His death probe has still not been concluded. SP Ganapathy, a sub inspector had committed suicide a year back pointing at K J George in his death note and video.IPS officer Rashmi, IAS officer Shika, police officer Anupama Shenoy, Dc Priyanka Franscis were all threatened for going against corrupt officials.
Now the death of Anurag Tewari has again put serious doubts on the role of Karnataka government in the Tewari's death. All the police officers, IAS, IPS officers are being silenced by the Karnataka government.
According to reports, there are massive scams in the government which is being covered by the state government.

Flooding and Arkansas, unfortunately, seem to go hand-in-hand. Of the state's past 33 Presidential disaster declarations, 22 have involved a flood. That's two out of every three.
"Both the history of flooding in this state and the many floods throughout the midsection of our nation are reminders that flooding is a serious risk to Arkansas residents and the economy," said Federal Coordinating Officer Mike Moore of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). "Homeowners insurance does not cover flood damage and less than one per cent of Arkansas residents and business owners have flood insurance."
"We often can't prevent flooding, but flood insurance can cut the financial and emotional toll," said Arkansas Department of Emergency Management Director David Maxwell.
Low-cost National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) coverage is available to homeowners, renters and businesses in every community in the state that participates in the program. Home and business owners can buy coverage for their buildings and contents, and renters can purchase insurance to cover personal property.
