Our city is a collection of neighborhoods, each one having unique characteristics. When people think of good things about their city, they usually think of the neighborhoods within the city. Neighborhood groups and registered associations are an important part of the planning process in Ann Arbor. Registered groups are notified about proposed developments in their area and invited to meetings regarding these proposals. They are invited to participate in other city-wide processes such as zoning code amendments and parking improvements as well. Recommendations and comments made by registered associations are taken into consideration by City Planning Commission. City Council, by resolution, is committed to protect older or established neighborhoods. There are approximately 114 registered residential or commercial associations in Ann Arbor.
The links below provide maps indicating the location and boundaries of the registered groups and information on how to contact the association.
Registered associations are divided into two categories:
See the Public Involvement page for information on how to register your association or download the registration form.
Whereas, It is the City of Ann Arbor's established policy as stated in its Master Plan to protect older and/or established neighborhoods;
Whereas, The City of Ann Arbor recognizes that it is appropriate and advantageous to involve its citizens and neighborhood units at the earliest stages of the planning process; and
Whereas, Neighborhood associations and organizations formed by its citizens play an important (vital) role in representing the views of residents;
BE IT RESOLVED, That the City of Ann Arbor Planning Department notify in writing neighborhood associations and/or organizations whose members live within 300 feet of any proposed annexation, zoning, area plan, site plan, land division, or preliminary plat at the beginning of the City departments' review schedule per Chapter 57, Section 5:129 and the Review Cycle Calendar prepared periodically by the Planning Department;
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That the recommendation and comments on proposed development or zoning changes submitted in writing by neighborhood associations or organizations shall be considered by the Planning Department and given to the Planning Commission or Advisory Development Committee if received prior to completion of the staff review. (In cases where the Planning Department takes exception to recommendations and/or comments, an explanation for the exception shall be included in the staff report.) This process does not preclude groups and individuals from presenting information and comments to the Planning Commission or ADC at the public hearing; and
BE IT FINALLY RESOLVED, That neighborhood associations or organizations who desire preliminary information concerning development or zoning of property in or near their neighborhoods must register with the Planning Department and include the names, addresses, and phone numbers of current officers, and director of the organization, a specific contact person, and the area that the organization represents.
Approved by Council: February 6, 1989

Home > Research Legal Advice > Criminal Defense > I got a ticket for Misdemeanor Vandalism. How can i defend myself.
I was at a frat party . every guy was wearing a Hawaiian shirt . i punched a glass window in my own house before going to the frat party , so my hand was bloody . on the walk back home , the cops were in front of my house and my next door neighbor pointed at me , saying I matched the description of the suspect ( who was wearing a Hawaiian shirt ) who broke his roommate's car windows with a frying pan . The fact that my hand wasn't bleeding didn't help . I was written a ticket for misdemeanor vandalism . Basically my neighbor has a witness and the police took pictures of my hand and then took pictures of my shoes saying there were glass shards on my shoe . It didn't really look like there was anything on my shoe . How should I go about this in court ?
Car window glass is different than house window glass. Get shards of both broken windows. The differences will probably be apparent to the eye, but a lab or glass shop can confirm. Did you have med treatment for your hand? Stitches? The injuries and debris in injured part of hand may be indicative of which kind of glass caused your hand injury. Any independent proof that house window was broken before car was vandalized? Anyone witness it? Hear the breaking glass? Or hear what came just before it?
Don't answer any of these questions here. But talk about them with your lawyer. These are the kinds of issues that your lawyer needs to consider in developing your defense, whether for trial or negotiations with the prosecutor. Don't forget to explore a civil compromise under PC 1377 with the prosecutor.
It's going to be very difficult to defend yourself at court. You'll need an attorney to present your case for you. You can use avvo to find a couple of local criminal defense attorneys, and give them a call - most will offer a free consultation. Otherwise, if you qualify, you can obtain the services of a public defender, but that won't happen until the you're actually in court. I just can't imagine that fighting this yourself, no matter how straightforward it might seem, would prove to be beneficial. Good luck.
Jasen Nielsen
You should hire an attorney who will fight this case for you. Vandalism cases are definitely winnable. You seem to think that because there was a witness that your case is lost. However, if the ID is really as vague as you say, then there are holes able to be poked in that. Then there's the fact that there was a party, so you probably have several people who can be witnesses that it wasn't you. Or you can show where you were. The broken window at your house can hopefully be corroborated by witnesses, receipts for fixing the glass, etc. There are so many possible avenues that your defense can take. You need to not give up hope, and should hire a good private attorney. Many of us who have experience in Los Angeles county can definitely give you advice and may of us offer free consultations and payment plans. Good luck!
Do you own the house or rent the house? If you own your home, you have a total defense. You can dispose of your property any way you would like. If you rent the home, you should have an attorney approach the landlord and see if they would be willing to not press charges. The neighbor in most cases cannot press charges on something that does not belong to him/her. You should not post specific facts on the message board. Contact me tomorrow to talk about this case. What court in Los Angeles County is your case assigned?
Seth Weinstein, Esq.
Southern California Criminal Defense Attorney
(310) 707-7131
The accusation is that a neighbor's CAR was vandalized. The problematic evidence is the glass from the asker breaking the asker's own window.

Hospitals on notice, Obama is cutting Medicare reimbursements
This is just one phase of a larger scheme.
Hospitals are on notice that under Obamacare their Medicare payments will be docked in 2014. According to the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) 1,400 hospitals will see their payments docked as a result of poor service.
Under Obamacare, hospitals that perform poorly will see a reduction in their payments as a penalty for poor performance. Hospitals that do well could see an increase.
AFTER THE UNSPEAKABLE, WE SPEAK HOPE. Support Catholic Online's response to Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines. DONATE NOW ...
So far, the government is ahead. 1,231 hospitals are seeing an increase while 1,451 are being subjected to the penalty.
The program is designed to be largely budget-neutral, so it does not increase costs, at least not for now. It also provides a powerful incentive, particularly to for-profit medical centers, to improve patient outcomes and satisfaction.
The program itself is paid for with an across-the-board cut of 1.25 percent in all hospital's DRG payments. In 2013, the cut was 1 percent, and it will increase by increments until 2017 when it tops out at 2 percent.
The end result is facilities that do well should see their cuts washed out by increases in Medicare reimbursements. However, those that do poorly could see an overall cut of nearly 3 percent. Although such numbers may seem paltry, the annual cost to facilities across the nation can be in the millions.
If there is any criticism, it is that the criteria on which hospitals are evaluated may be somewhat subjective. Patients will enjoy the empowerment of being able to rate their experience and seeing that reflected in a facility's bottom line.
At the same time, this level of government involvement serves as an added disincentive for doctors to accept Medicare and Medicaid patients. In fact, this is the real consequence of the entire policy. Most doctors accept these patents because they represent guaranteed income via the government, even though they can make more money working in private practice or for a major health firm. Yet as the government exerts more and more control over their operations, doctors will be increasingly discouraged from treating Medicare and Medicaid patients.
The again, perhaps doctors and hospitals should acclimate to this brave new world of healthcare. It's becoming increasingly apparent that Obamacare is part of a larger scheme that will end with socialized, single-payer healthcare in the United States. Then, doctors will see what a true disincentive looks like and the rest of us, previously accustomed to speed and quality, won't like it either.

We were all warned and informed about the 'Death Panels'. If doctors and hospitals are not going to get paid, bye bye health care for senior citizens and hello death.

The despot Obama is growing desperate.
Seeing his Obamacare Socialized Medicine going through it's death throes, he has decided to rape and rob other government programs for the poor to feed his monstrous, black hole of a program.
People are now seriously calling for his indictment for his bald face lies with impeachment.
We will not relinquish!
We will continue with our peaceful revolution, so that this demonic Obamacare can be repealed!

With Indian Land High School's graduation now at Winthrop Coliseum in Rock Hill, you may wonder how the change affects the cost – and who's picking up the tab.
The school's May 30 graduation ceremony was planned for Winthrop's Byrnes Auditorium, but that building will be closed for renovations. The school's graduation had been held at Byrnes for the past several years.
After a senior class vote last month, Winthrop Coliseum was picked as the new venue over Indian Land High's gymnasium and stadium.
Money matters
When Lancaster High School girls basketball star Miteka Trueheart made her recent recruiting visit to the University of Alabama at Birmingham, it was, in basketball terms, "a slam dunk.""The school is nice and I felt like part of the family," said Trueheart, who signed with the Conference USA Blazers on Wednesday at LHS. "There was a nice vibe there. We just seem to bond."The basketball program is up and coming," she said. "I like the team and coaches.
In response to the article pertaining to the ILHS graduation, we have to say that the way the "uncertainty" period and decision-making was handled is not as written in the article.
In the news release, it appears the school administrators had everything under control and that there was no reason for concern on the students' or parents' part, when, in fact, the administrators were fumbling with their process on how to handle the situation and were the ones who put the students "up in arms" over graduation.
The Andrew Jackson boys soccer team advanced to third-round play in the Class AA Lower State playoffs with a 2-1 win over Barnwell at Volunteer Stadium on Thursday night.

When paramedics arrive, six people are wounded and need medical attention. One person is already dead, but will anybody else survive?

Quick assessments of a situation and appropriate care sometimes make the difference between life and death. In this particular simulation, Greg Robinson and Kelly Snipes' judgment was considered the best.
A pair of upstart Chesterfield County teams halted the postseason softball runs of Andrew Jackson and Indian Land on Wednesday afternoon.
Kevin Granata, geographic information systems director for Lancaster County, has a large flat-screen TV on his desk.
It's not for entertainment, but to keep track of the maps Granata works on as part of his job. These maps are important for tax purposes, land sales and voter registration.
In fact, it was county election official Cassie Stump who nominated Granata, 31, for county Employee of the Quarter.
"He's very helpful, very accommodating, friendly and always in a good mood," Stump said. "He's also very knowledgeable about computers and helps me out a lot."
Roy Gleiter said if he can complete his journey, then so can resolute Americans make the economic and political systems speak for them.
As cars passed by Gleiter's camp site just outside Buford on S.C. 9 last week, they honked. Gleiter is a homeless man who's traveling by foot with his mother, Debra Cowden, and their dog, Pofer. Their destination is the state of Washington.
Gleiter, 49, not only has a long trip ahead, but a heavy load to carry. He's pulling a nearly 5,000-pound wagon, full of possessions. His mother and their dog are following him.
The Buford High School golf team finished fourth in the Class AA Lower State tournament at Sweetwater Country Club in Barnwell on Monday to earn a bid to the Class AA state tournament.The Jackets shot a 335 team total to finish behind Waccamaw, Bishop England and Central of Pageland.Waccamaw shot a 307, while Bishop England had a 313. Central, the Conference VIII-AA champion, finished with a 326. BHS, the VIII-AA runner-up, followed the Eagles.Buford was led by Trevor Banks' 77 (36-41) and Taylor Banks' 79 (39-40).

I am assuming you have Windows 8 on the computer.. Can you tell me which Photo Gallery you are using?
I mean when you open a picture which program opens it..Is it Windows Photo Viewer Or is it Windows Live Photo Gallery.
Try this also..
Open the pictures folder and then Right Click on any photo and then click Open With. Try the different
programs under Open With one by one and check if the same problem occurs..
Although I am an HP employee, I am speaking for myself and not for HP.

Type Families and Pokemon: School of Haskell Pick of the Week (fpcomplete.com)
submitted 11 months ago by DrBartosz

[–]hiptobecubic 0 points1 point2 points 11 months ago
I really appreciate that someone took the time to write this out, but I have two complaints.
My first attempt to add electric pokémon resulted in a runtime(!!!) error because I wrongly assumed that by not copy pasting an implementation of pickWinner into class Battle Fire Elec, it would use the default specified in the battle class.
Second, as I alluded earlier, the solution was to copy paste a bunch of code and change the word "Water" to "Elec" and nothing else. If you look at the code on this page, a huge amount of it is literally copy pasted boiler plate. How is this helping us? It didn't even catch my error at compile time. Define an Elec type however you'd like. Then give it a Battle instance:
instance Battle Elec Fire -- pickWinner is missing but with the default Winner a b type, there's only one implementation possible instance Battle Fire Elec where type Winner Fire Elec = Elec pickWinner = flip pickWinner
Now run it and watch it burn when it comes time to pick a winner. So i thought ok fine, I'll just specify a default implementation for pickWinner in the Battle class, not sure why they didn't do that to start with.
pickWinner a b = a
Nope. Can't deduce (a ~ Winner a b). Ok fine.
pickWinner a b = Winner a b -- using the type synonym from the class
Nope, type constructor Winner is not defined.
What is this? Are we really forced to paste the default implementation into every instance? Doesn't that defeat the entire purpose of this exercise? Someone help me out here.
[–]ppilate 0 points1 point2 points 11 months ago
The reason that you can't simply
to the Battle class is that altho the default implementation of Winner is
type Winner a b = a
it can be overridden, like it's done in instance Battle Fire Water, for example.
all it takes is a username and password

is it really that easy? only one way to find out...

Admin's Note: This post originally appeared on O'Dwyer's. Writing many years after the fact, John Hay, who served as a young White House aide to Abraham Lincoln, noted that if his boss had "died in the days of doubt and gloom which preceded his reelection," rather than in the final weeks of war, as the Union moved to secure its great victory against the Confederacy, he would almost certainly have been remembered as a middling or mediocre president. It's a useful time to think about the historical construction of presidential reputations. Strange though it seems to the modern ear, in his own lifetime, Lincoln was a deeply controversial leader – reviled throughout the South, disdained by a strong plurality of Northern voters, and underrated even by many in his own party, who agreed with one Republican senator that the nation sorely needed "a president with brains; one who can make a plan and carry it out." It took a massive, quarter-century effort on the part of his aides and family members to rehabilitate his legacy. Lincoln's son, Robert, carefully managed his father's historical image. Choking off access to the president's official papers until 1947, he allowed only two men –…

Corporate Leaders: Eat More Humble Pie
"The pessimist complains about the wind. The optimist expects it to change. The leader adjusts the sails." At MWW, we counsel our corporate clients to keep one fundamental axiom in mind: people trust people, not companies. An organization's leadership is on the front line of the reputation game. You can build the best widget or provide the best service, but if your company's senior leaders convey the wrong values or point of view, your stakeholders will move in another direction. If 2013 was a rocky year for corporate leaders – think Chip Wilson's curious remarks about Lululemon's customer base or the personal tribulations of Google co-founder Sergey Brin – it's encouraging to find a rising corporate star who promises to be a beacon to American business leaders. Enter Microsoft's new CEO, Satya Nadella. To be sure, the naysayers have their doubts: could an understated 46-year-old Indian immigrant known for quiet collaboration have what it takes to corral the cowboys of America's hyper-completive corporate sector and, in the process, reawaken a slumbering tech giant? Only time will tell, but for now I am grateful that the decision is shining a light on the importance of one of the most overlooked and…

Legal Sea Foods Turning a Tragedy into a Cause
Carbon monoxide poisoning, caused by what appears to be a fault in or failure of a flue pipe in a water heater, tragically took the life of Steve Nelson, the manager of a Legal Sea Foods restaurant at a mall in Long Island, NY last Saturday night. The Company responded quickly to the terrible news with postings on its Facebook page and a press release expressing its grief and focusing on the Legal Sea Foods family. CEO Roger Berkowitz traveled to Long Island to personally comfort staff and meet with reporters. As unfortunate as the incident is, it also showed an executive and communication team that was prepared and was on message with their response and having the CEO in the lead. While the investigation continues, from local officials and the Federal OSHA, media reports are looking at the causes (if not potential blame) and what could have been done to prevent such an incident. The Town of Huntington, where the restaurant was located, has already issued a summons to Legal Sea Foods for defective equipment and the Mall owners have been quick to point out that the Mall was outfitted with carbon monoxide detectors. The Legal Sea Foods did…

The Top Crises of 2013
2013 had its share of reputation losers but there were also a number of crises that caused the companies involved to take a step back and rethink their strategies. In Part 1 of The Holmes Report's Top 12 Crises of 2013, Carreen Winters discusses where JPMorgan Chase went wrong with its misguided Twitter Q&A that was meant as an informative discussion and turned into another attack into the company's reputation. JPMorgan's reputation is one to watch in 2014 as it looks to reclaim its title as the best of the big banks. Part 2 of The Holmes Report's list is expected to publish later this week.

"The Worst Carpenter This Side Of The Mississippi": Your Reputational Rights In Flux
In today's hyper-charged media environment, it takes just one false utterance to create a new (albeit false) reality. Back in the day, if a news outlet misreported a particular fact, the damage could be contained to a single print story or broadcast statement. The best remedy in these circumstances was to correct and move on. Today, the landscape is much more treacherous. One misstatement on a cable news show or error in a print article can quickly reverberate across digital and social channels and feed a self-referential string of follow-up stories, blog posts and organic conversations. That's why many of our clients, both individual and institutional, often seek our counsel on how best to address both intentional and inadvertent misrepresentations of fact. There's a natural inclination on the part of aggrieved parties to sue. Setting aside the question of whether legal action is the best first approach to dealing with a media-related reputational crisis (it's usually not), there are substantial hurdles to pursuing correction or redress through the legal process. In effect, the system privileges the collective right to open discourse over the individual's right to protect his personal or institutional reputation. But the changing nature of celebrity and fame –…

When Friendly Fire Cause a Crisis: Three Easy Ways to Avoid a Brand Scandal
I came across this slideshow about the biggest brand scandals, and its simplicity made the problems, and the solutions so clear. Here are three ways to avoid brand scandal: 1. Learn from the mistakes of others – Victoria's Secret tried to launch a "sexy" line of underwear for tweens. Abercrombie did the same thing, and got hammered. 12-year-old girls don't need thongs, and their parents won't pay for them. 2. Remember that nothing is "only internal" – if you don't want to say it on Twitter, or see it printed on the front page of The New York Times, don't say it, and definitely don't write it. Case in point: Target and the "sombrero" remark. 3. Include a sensitivity check in your final approval process – if the joke is at someone's expense – or at the expense of an entire gender, ethnicity, religious group or other demographic, it isn't funny. Don't do it. Half of the brands that found themselves on this list earned their spot this way. We are all existing in a complex environment where it is difficult to get attention. Where speed kills. But any attention is not good attention.

Will the Super Bowl Be A Reputation Win For New Jersey?
After months of anticipation, the Super Bowl will finally come to New Jersey this week. The view from my office window overlooks the stadium, and I've been listening to the expert opinions about what a boon this will be to New Jersey for over a year. No doubt, the economic impact of the Super Bowl will be huge, even with all of the expenses for extra security, clean up and the like. But has anyone considered the reputational impact of the Super Bowl for New Jersey? And that it might not be positive? The weather certainly won't help…but it also can't be helped. Some very wise airline executives I know always say, when Mother Nature is winning, let her. Playing the game in a stadium without a dome during the coldest winter on record would be just about our luck. Who knows how many fans will become sick or injured due to the cold, and with the traffic in and out of the stadium, we know they will have to be there early. But I hardly think we can hold a state responsible for the weather, and the committee chose to have the game in a dome-less stadium. Here are…

Using Social Media to Drive Financial PR in 2014
Admin's Note: MWW chief social strategist Mitzi Emrich was recently quoted in The Holmes Report's annual trend forecast for the financial PR sector. In addition to her thoughts in the story, Mitzi has outlined four trends below on what financial PR should be aware of in the social space in 2014. Content means more than marketing: From videos on Vine to photos on Instagram, consumer marketers now regularly leverage multimedia as an indispensable component of communicating with targeted audiences. With videos increasing the visibility of a press release by more than four times, and with tweets that contain images generating 200 percent more engagement than text-only tweets, content can no longer be the domain of marketing alone; for IROs and other functions responsible for reporting on the performance of a company, creating multimedia assets is a requirement. By transforming said talking points about financial performance into compelling content, such as infographics to highlight key details from quarterly earnings or brief videos of executives explaining their vision of success, financial communicators can steal a page from the marketing handbook and ensure that important market information is easy to understand and amplify. A move to (safe) mobile: The use of mobile devices—such…

Seized Smog Pump
So, my smog pump seized up this morning on the FJ60. Has anybody installed the smog pump eliminator kit on a 2F. If all of the emissions are still hooked up, will it run different? I dont know how all of the emissions crap works. I would like to desmog it eventually, but Its been my DD for the last few months, so I dont have the time to have the carb redone. Any input would be appreciated. If I cant get this fixed, Ill have to start driving the 40
..which would be fun, but I dont really want to expose it to the salty roads.
Thanks, Will |

The only 2f I desmogged was my 78' 40.The 60 came that way.I'd offer you my spare, but I think I'm going to need it real soon.Mines rattling bad.Used as a idler.You could try to gut it.Maybe just the fins inside went south.P/S leaking on it?I'll look around in the barn.What year is your 60?1985?I think they change pump styles in the mid 80's.I was just reading about em like 2 days ago. |

Beginning in 2009, the EPA launched a competitive grant program to assist tribal and local governments in establishing and implementing climate change initiatives. The goal of the Climate Showcase Communities grant program is to create replicable models of sustainable community action that generate cost-effective and persistent greenhouse gas reductions while improving the environmental, economic, public health, or social conditions in communities.
On February 25, 2010, the EPA announced that $7.8 million in grants will be awarded to communities to develop and implement these projects. It is estimated these projects will reduce greenhouse gas emissions by about 135,000 metric tons. This decrease is equal to the emission produced by 12,000 residential homes or 25,000 passenger vehicles.
Over the next months, an additional $2.2 million is expected to be awarded to tribal and local governments. Currently there are 20 Climate Showcase Communities, two of which are tribal community projects:
Reduction of Greenhouse Gas Emissions by Development of an Innovative Climate Projects Coordination Structure- Gila River Indian Community, ArizonaAn additional $10 million in funding for this program will become available in late spring 2010. If any tribes wish to receive notification when more funding is available, you may sign up for EPA listserv notification of opportunities at: http://epa.gov/statelocalclimate/listservs/index.html

Celebrity Tattoos: Did Selena Gomez ink Justin Bieber's name on her wrist?
September 12th, 2011
Disney Princess Selena Gomez might be toying around with a design for a new tattoo. Justin Bieber's girlfriend was spotted with the name Justin scrolled in black ink on the inside of her wrist while performing at a concert in Las Vegas in September of 2011. Celeb gossip sources are debating whether or not the tattoo was real or was simply written in Sharpie permanent marker. It also could have been something drawn on with Henna ink, as the pop singer and actress has been playing with it recently. The teen celebrity couple seem quite happy together, and the Biebs says he'd like to be married and starting a family by age 25. Keep reading... More good news and green gossip on this [...]
Celebrity Couples: Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux spend spa days together?

Actress Jennifer Aniston and new boyfriend Justin Theroux denied they were dating, making the press look bad for making stories up. The trouble with that? They really were dating and are openly living together now. While her denials of the romance with Theroux might have been something she did to stay out of hot water for stealing an otherwise taken man from the woman he had been living with for years, what she really accomplished was making herself and her press agents look like liars. He, on the other hand, looks like a rock star thanks to Aniston carving a new look for him out like he had been a diamond in the rough. How? Keep reading...

No Creedence To Reunion Rumours
CCR bassist denies that the band may reunite
Following John Fogerty's hints last year that he would now be open to a reunion, saying "Realizing that it doesn't really kick up a big firestorm of emotion, it kind of suggests that at least if someone started talking I'd sit still long enough to listen."However, bass player Stu Cook tells Uncut Magazine "Leopards don't change their spots. This is just an image-polishing exercise by John. My phone certainly hasn't rung."
Drummer Doug Clifford added, "It might have been a nice idea 20 years ago, but it's too late."

Stan Van Gundy still communicates with the player who was most responsible for him being successful with the Orlando Magic, and the same guy who was chiefly responsible for him being fired. In an interview with the Los Angeles Times, Van Gundy said he still exchanges friendly text messages with Dwight Howard.
In the interview, Van Gundy discussed Howard's status with the Los Angeles Lakers and shared two noteworthy opinions. The former Magic coach says Howard, who is coming off back surgery, does not look like the same player. He also says Howard is adjusting to being a secondary offensive option on the Lakers.
"I don't think he looks quite as explosive or as quick as he has in the past," Van Gundy told the Times' Ben Bolch. "Now, he's still above almost everyone in the league at that size athletically, but he has not totally looked like himself to me."
Howard stopped playing for the Magic in April because of his back injury, and he underwent surgery for it later in the month. It ...

IRVINE, Calif. (Aug. 13, 2013) –In just a matter of weeks, the American International Motorcycle Expo (AIMExpo) has surged from 250 committed exhibitors to now proudly announcing B&W Trailer Hitches as its 300th exhibiting company. The new landmark number is an indicator of how powersports companies both large and small are fully embracing the inaugural event this October 16-20 in Orlando, Fla.
"The promise of AIMExpo continues to resonate with the industry, and this recent surge in exhibitor commitments is a clear demonstration of the momentum that is building at an increasing pace," said Larry Little, Vice President and General Manager of the Marketplace Events Motorcycle Group. "To think that just three weeks ago we were announcing our 250th exhibitor and to now be at a point where 50 more brands have committed to the expo is absolutely remarkable! We welcome B&W to the AIMExpo platform, and their opportunity to interact with the media, dealers and consumers, all in one place at one time."
B&W Trailer Hitches prides itself on being American made. Since its start in 1987 the U.S. based company has been at the forefront of cutting-edge manufacturing technology, leading to the creation of groundbreaking hitches like the Turnover Ball, the brand's namesake product. B&W's latest creation, the Biker Bar, has taken the industry by storm with its quality made latching system for loading and unloading cruiser motorcycles without the need for straps or tie downs. B&W also produces a variety of additional hitches and truck accessories, all aimed at making the process of loading, unloading, and transporting as easy and safe as possible.
"We are looking forward to showcasing all of our products at the inaugural AIMExpo because it provides us with a way to reach our audience in a way we've never seen before," said Charl Hill, Sales Representative for B&W. "The Biker Bar has been a great addition to the powersports industry and has quickly become a popular option for all motorcyclists because its so easy to use and very well made. We'll have the chance to really show how great the product is at AIMExpo and we couldn't be more excited about that."
As the lineup of exhibitors for AIMExpo continues to grow at a rapid pace, the anticipation for the event also increases as it sets out to revolutionize the Powersports industry as North America's first combined consumer, trade and media event. Combining indoor exhibits with outdoor activities, it presents the ideal time and place for new product launches, demo rides, educational programs and more.
AIMExpo will be held on October 16-20, 2013 at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Fla.

Apple Reveals 2012 Final Cut Pro X Update with Multichannel Audio Editing, RED Support and More
Apple met with video consultant and trainer Larry Jordan on the eve of the 2012 NAB show and shared some upcoming plans for Final Cut Pro X. The following features are expected in Final Cut Pro X in 2012: Quote:
While those are the only features officially announced, Apple indicated that they wouldn't be the only new features coming this year. Jordan also asked for hints about upcoming hardware, but Apple didn't provide any information. The National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) conference kicks off this week in Las Vegas. Apple has not held a major presence at the show in recent years, but did use the venue last year to introduce Final Cut Pro X. Apple again appears to have a presence at the show and is at least meeting with some prominent figures. The NAB runs through April 19th.

The more time goes on, the more i really feel for Apple when it comes to FCPX. They screwed up when releasing it, but it looks as though they're really trying to make amends and give the people who purchased it the features they actually wanted, and as free updates. I purchased FCPX and have liked it since the beginning, but understood why some professionals thought it was a weak release.
You have to hand it to them, most of the major complaints about the initial release of the software, such as lack of broadcast monitoring, multicam, no XML capabilities and now viewer have all been rectified in a short time. Nice one Apple. And they're actually being a bit more public about the updates which is something they never usually do. Now if only they released a fantastic Mac Pro to go with it, professionals like myself might finally shutup about Apple abandoning the Pro community. |

It's not perfect yet but I'm excited for the future. I think people will love FCX in the years to come. In many ways it reminds me of the first iPhone. You can easily explain what's not there now, but the foundation is solid. Just like with that iPhone, you can see how it will grow. |

But is it really needed. Aside from the ability to swap drives, does one really need a Pro.
The only 'mistake' was perhaps in killing FCS3 so fast. |

Apr 15, 2012, 04:17 PM | #18 |
That's really what i meant. If they had released FCPX as 'A Preview of The Next Generation of Video Editing', and kept FCS3 available, then i'm sure the reaction would not have been so bad. But they removed all traces of FCS3, said FCPX was the replacement, pure and simple and that was it. A marketing failure really more than anything else.
Anyways, lets not get into that again |

This release will cause us to get at least one station of a new Mac, a seat of FCPX to service the RED equipment we rent for special events.
If it works out for us with our low duty cycle, the folks who watch our bleeding edge resolution and speed needs, will then consider the setup for FX and CGI stuff. We are looking in particular for the graphics co-processor aspects of the unannounced features. TB can probably keep up with 4k and 8k at 60fps, and we may need a SSD cache. We have pretty short capture times, under 2 minutes. Rocketman

Good to see these improvements. Too bad they are not here yet, although I applaud the decision to let the pro community know what is coming.
And while RED camera support will (eventually) be great to have I know numerous places that depend on R3D workflow who moved away from Apple after Apple dropped them. I'm not sure if this will recapture the trust lost from those whose business investment was built around Final Cut and left when functionality that was in FCP7 was not included in FCPX. ---------- Quote:
The hype backfired. ---------- When people say the "pro" market is a bunch of whiners, this is a good example of the level of financial investment to be at that level. So when something can no longer be trusted to work it is off the job. If your software of choice drops support for you, you move on. |

The FCP7 to FCPX transition was a royal F up. Most people don't buy RED equipment. They rent it for a couple of days or weeks. That way it is financially practical to actually use a 24k device at 120fps. And you don't even have to sell your house to do it.

well intel chips are finally here, and FCPX, there last piece of somewhat professional software, is receiving a solid update. So a hardware update would make sense... let's see.

'12 Years a Slave' rises up at Academy Awards
Perhaps atoning for past sins, Hollywood named the brutal, unshrinking historical drama "12 Years a Slave" best picture at the 86th annual Academy Awards.
Steve McQueen's slavery odyssey, based on Solomon Northup's 1853 memoir, has been hailed as a landmark corrective to the movie industry's virtual blindness to slavery, instead creating whiter tales like 1940 best-picture winner "Gone With the Wind." "12 Years a Slave" is the first best-picture winner directed by a black filmmaker. -

Wendy Davis tours Port of Beaumont
State Sen. Wendy Davis burst onto the national political stage in June, when she spent 11 hours filibustering in an attempt to block Senate Bill 5, a contentious piece of legislation that banned abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy and required abortion clinics to meet the same standards as an ambulatory surgical center. Although the bill passed the next month during a special session called by Gov. Rick Perry, Davis breathed new life into a Texas Democratic Party that last saw an official elected to statewide office in 1994.

Dallas, Texas (March 6, 2000) The Biotechnology Industry Organization (BIO) has named Texas Rep. Brian McCall (R-Plano) as BIO State Legislator of the Year for his support of the biotechnology industry's continued viability and growth in Texas.
Rep. McCall was selected from among 7,000 state legislators nationwide for advocating biotechnology development and educating Texas citizens and his fellow lawmakers about the industry. The BIO award will be presented on March 8 at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center. The award ceremony will take place at 10 a.m. in the McDermott Administrative Building, Conference Room B-12.
BIO President Carl B. Feldbaum said, Rep. McCall's leadership in Texas has contributed directly to the biotech industry's progress in solving the toughest challenges our society faces in health care, agriculture, manufacturing and environmental management. We applaud his efforts to protect vital medical research and secure economic development initiatives for technology-based industries. We hope he will continue working with us in support of the vast benefits to be derived from biotechnology innovation.
Rep. McCall was instrumental this past legislative session in his support for Senate Bill 441, said Patrick Kelly, BIO's director of state government relations. This legislation included a research and development tax credit for qualified expenditures after January 1, 2000. The R&D credit is limited to 25 percent of the corporation's franchise tax liability, with the ability to carry forward any unused credits for up to 20 years. This type of incentive is critically important for biotechnology companies due to the protracted research and development times.
Texas is recognized as one of the leading states in medical and agricultural research. The health-care technology industry alone employs more than 50,000 people in the state. The industry is ahead of state averages for employment growth and wages, and is stimulating the creation of jobs in other sectors as well.
BIO represents more than 900 biotechnology companies, academic institutions and state biotech centers in 47 states and 26 nations. BIO members are involved in the research and development of health-care, agricultural, industrial and environmental biotech products. In Texas, BIO works closely with the Texas Healthcare and Bioscience Institute (THBI).
About BIO
BIO is the world's largest trade association representing biotechnology companies, academic institutions, state biotechnology centers and related organizations across the United States and in more than 30 other nations. BIO members are involved in the research and development of innovative healthcare, agricultural, industrial and environmental biotechnology products. BIO also produces the BIO International Convention, the world's largest gathering of the biotechnology industry, along with industry-leading investor and partnering meetings held around the world.

Book Description:"An intimate portrait of Lincoln, so well-drawn that he seems to come alive on the page."—Charleston Post & Courier Lincoln's Men by Daniel Mark Epstein offers a fascinating close-up view of the Abraham Lincoln White House through the eyes of Lincoln's three personal secretaries: John Nicolay, William Stoddard, and John Hay. Like Doris Kearns Goodwin's monumental New York Times bestseller, Team of Rivals, Epstein's Lincoln's Men sheds a new light on the 16th U.S. president—his brilliance and vision in a time of national turmoil and Civil War—by focusing on his relationships with the men who worked closely by his side. USA Today writes, "This is not your typical work of history. Epstein, a poet, employs a dreamy, novelistic tone in describing these young men and their tormented boss."

Got diet chocolate milk?
With milk sales going down the drain, the dairy industry wants the US to approve low-calorie sweeteners for the kid-targeted drinks.
The milk industry is dealing with a crisis, with sales evaporating to their lowest level since 1984. Sports drinks and bottled water are taking the place of dairy as consumers worry about calories and some schools cut back on serving chocolate milk to kids.
But now, the dairy industry is asking the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to approve the use of low-calorie sweeteners -- including aspartame -- in milk products. So, the agency last week asked for comments and data about the issue.
The reason? Allowing low-calorie sweeteners in milk would "particularly benefit school children" who tend to drink chocolate and strawberry milk at school, according to the petition from the National Milk Producers Federation and the International Dairy Foods Association.
Chocolate milk sold by companies such as Nestlé (NSRGY) is already available in options like Nesquik's "no sugar added" flavored drinks, but the dairy industry is arguing that labeling terms such as "reduced calorie" don't appeal to kids.
Chocolate milk is already something of a lightning rod among parents, with the sugar-laden drinks cited as one contributing factor to a rise in obesity among children. Some school districts have sought to ban chocolate and strawberry milk from their cafeterias, while celebrity chef Jamie Oliver has singled out sweetened milk as "really bad for [kids'] health."
The milk industry's options are currently limited because the FDA now allows "milk" only on beverages with added ingredients containing calories, according to the Huffington Post. That means ingredients such as sugar and high-fructose corn syrup.
Nevertheless, aspartame-sweetened milk might not make parents feel any better. The sweetener, sold under the brand names Equal and NutraSweet, has been rumored to be linked to a number of health issues including cancer, although the American Cancer Society says "no health problems that have been consistently linked" to its use.
Tags: | Food |
Yea put in cancer causing man made chemicals instead... great idea. So we will have fat kids dying of cancer. Yea, chocolate milk is the only reason kids are overweight. How about declining recess time?
I have personally known someone who died of cancer and it was linked to aspartame so take the "not consistently linked" and shove it up your ****.
Adding more chemicals into our food and natural beverage supply is irresponsbile to LIFE and QUALITY OF LIFE.
But hey as Monsanto's stock continues to rise the US is becoming aware of it's investors and most are in office in WA. DC!
THE FDA has a choice to make---Quality of life or profits as you cnnot have both!

Cincinnati, OH (Sports Network) - Brian Moehler was solid on the hill and Miguel Tejada hit a solo home run, as the Houston Astros edged the Cincinnati Reds, 3-1, in the third test of a four-game set.
Moehler (8-4) gave up one run on five hits and fanned three over seven frames to get the win. Jose Valverde tossed a perfect ninth to pick up his 28th save of the year.
Lance Berkman drove in a run for the Astros, who have won seven of their last nine to pull within two games of .500 at 57-59.
Bronson Arroyo (10-9) was saddled with the loss despite a decent outing of two runs on five hits with seven strikeouts and four walks over six innings.
Jay Bruce went 2-for-4 to extend his hitting streak to a career-best 13 games for the Reds, who matched a season-high by dropping their fifth straight game. Edwin Encarnacion knocked in the lone run for Cincy.
Houston jumped on top, 1-0, in the first inning. Kazuo Matsui led off with a walk, moved to second as Tejada singled and crossed home when Berkman followed with a single.
The Astros were dealt a blow in the third inning as Carlos Lee was hit by an Arroyo slider on his left pinky finger and had to leave the game. Darin Erstad pinch ran and took over in left field for the slugger. Further tests revealed that the finger was broken, and Lee will be evaluated on Monday.
Moehler opened the fifth stanza with a double, advanced to third on Matsui's sac bunt and scored as Arroyo uncorked a wild pitch to make it 2-0.
Tejada belted a solo homer over the fence in right field to give Houston a 3-0 cushion in the seventh.
The Reds got on the board in the home half. Bruce and Brandon Phillips connected on one-out singles and Adam Dunn flied out to move Bruce to third. Encarnacion then ripped a grounder to Tejada, who couldn't field the ball, and Bruce crossed the plate to make it 3-1.

Young AmericansIsner, Querrey, Young make solid trio of U.S. hopefulsPosted: Friday August 17, 2007 11:01AM; Updated: Friday August 17, 2007 12:48PM
As American tennis fans, we've been spoiled by the long line of men's champions our country has produced. But it's been awhile since one of our own has broken through -- the last American Grand Slam champ was Andy Roddick at the U.S. Open in 2003. The cries for a new generation of stars to follow Pete Sampras, Andre Agassi, Jim Courier, Michael Chang and Roddick have been getting even louder. Luckily, we have three excellent prospects on their way. They're all different in their style of play and personality, but they all have what it takes to challenge the elite of the game. John Isner, a 6-foot-9 giant who recently graduated from the University of Georgia, created a frenzy by reaching the finals in Washington, D.C., a few weeks ago in just his second ATP-level event. He won an unprecedented five straight third-set tiebreakers and showed he not only has one of the biggest serves in the history of the game, but also thrives in pressure situations. Isner is capable of disrupting anyone's rhythm with a serve that routinely surpasses 135 mph and second serve that rarely dips below 120 mph. When he acquires more experience at the ATP level and defines his game plan to focus on attacking and putting pressure on his opponents, he'll be a nightmare for anyone in the world to play against. Tennis has never seen such a tall player that moves as well, hits the ball as cleanly off both sides and has such soft hands around the net. But what's more is that Isner is also a very approachable, modest and polite 22-year-old. He's very marketable and will resonate with tennis fans, and is destined for the upper echelons of the game. Isner also a result of the college-tennis system. Hopefully the progress he made during his years in Athens will instill more confidence in the American college system as a reasonable alternative for players who need refining and maturing on- and off-court. As a result of his impressive start to his professional career, Isner was granted a much-deserved wild card into the main draw of the U.S. Open, and he will be a name nobody wants to see as an early round opponent. Sam Querrey has also been impressive as of late. The 19-year-old Los Angeles-area native burst onto the scene last year and, while he struggled during the clay- and grass-court seasons, a return to the comfort of his favorite hard courts has yielded success. Querrey advanced to his first career semifinal earlier this summer in Indianapolis where, on his way to an upset of fellow American James Blake in a third-set tiebreaker, he set an ATP record with 10 straight aces. Sam's impressive summer has continued with wins over Marc Gicquel, Mikhail Youzhny and Juan Mónaco in Cincinnati, and he'll be playing in his first Masters Series quarterfinal on Friday. Querrey's game is similar to Roddick's in that his main weapons are his serve and forehand, but he's an underrated mover for someone his size, also like Roddick. Querrey has unlimited potential and will only continue to improve as he develops his skills at the net. Sam's off-court personality mirrors his California upbringing. He is laid-back and relaxed, and his ability to diffuse tension will help him deal with the inevitable pressures of tour life. Donald Young is the third American star on the rise. As I wrote last month, expectations have been high for the 18-year-old southpaw from Atlanta, and while it has taken him a little longer to develop than many anticipated, he's making huge strides lately. He won the Wimbledon juniors competition last month and immediately followed that up with a dominating performance in winning the $75,000 challenger in Aptos, Calif. Young has yet to break through at the ATP level, but the talent is there. He has gotten stronger and the result is a more explosive serve that enables him to use his forehand as a tremendous weapon. His speed and deft touch are as effective as they are entertaining to watch, and with his continued development he will surely be a force on the ATP Tour soon. Yes, Young is a little less overtly outgoing than Isner or Querrey, but he's very smart, endearing and enjoyable to be around. Similar to Isner, Young was granted a main-draw wild card into the U.S. Open in a couple weeks. American tennis fans have a lot to look forward to in these three distinctly different future stars. Keep watching. Twelve-year ATP Tour veteran Justin Gimelstob writes for SI.com on alternate Fridays.

A History of Private Life Vol. I From Pagan Rome to ByzantiumISBN 0674399749 / 9780674399747 / 0-674-39974-9Find This Book |
First of the widely celebrated and sumptuously illustrated series, this book reveals in intimate detail what life was really like in the ancient world. Behind the vast panorama of the pagan Roman empire, the reader discovers the intimate daily lives of citizens and slavesfrom concepts of manhood and sexuality to marriage and the family, the roles of women, chastity and contraception, techniques of childbirth, homosexuality, religion, the meaning of virtue, and the separation of private and public spaces.
The emergence of Christianity in the West and the triumph of Christian morality with its emphasis on abstinence, celibacy, and austerity is startlingly contrasted with the profane and undisciplined private life of the Byzantine Empire. Using illuminating motifs, the authors weave a rich, colorful fabric ornamented with the results of new research and the broad interpretations that only masters of the subject can provide.

I've been following this issue VERY closely for the past year as it has become worse and worse. Months ago I posted on here that I couldn't believe there was not more of a unified outcry from within the Industry about just how ridiculous this "inbound links policy" is and how ultimately it will be a massive mistake with massive implications. I'm sort of a pessimistic dude though so I think folks also try to see the positives...I'm not seeing many personally.
Things are finally getting interesting:
The discussion there and Mu's response does seem to indicate there may be some type of "penalty" involved in this whole deal or whatever name we wanna call it, and if so IS based on a certain length(s) of time per usual Google practice.
Mu says that he recommends NOT to wait it out and people should submit the reconsideration request (even if they don't have an idea if their drop was due to algo or manual reasons etc) which leads me to that conclusion, BUT it makes you wonder the way he phrases things. Cryptic fear-mongering with a corporate touch at its finest. How long for some people is gonna be the question I guess...
I'm hoping that thread goes viral especially "coolguy's" post lol...
I'd say this is a pretty clear indicator that you can "penalize" the majority of newer, less established websites owned by average individuals that make up the majority of the Internet. The severity/length of time the "penalty" lasts is probably dependent on some other factors we won't know.
How anyone could read that discussion there and then conclude that you can't do that to just about any URL owned by an average Webmaster here (if the site is NOT already an "authority/established" SERP leader)...I have no clue, because this type of thing is currently happening all around us to your typical affiliate/IM websites in decently-competitive verticals.
I don't care to argue with folks that don't believe is happening, because evidence certainly suggests otherwise. I always hear: 'WELP TANK WIKIPEDIA OR HOW ABOUT THIS CNN ARTICLE...CAN'T DO IT? When people bring this up (a point that I agree with) I don't think it really brings anything productive to the table other than give Google and friends a reason to say: "Hey, see that website, you can't harm it! So therefore you probably can't harm ANY website...lol" It is a very good point that yes MANY websites out there are certainly "immune", I just don't want this thread to get derailed for pages on end because people argue about whether you can tank certain authority websites...the answer is probably not.
What really matters to all us here going forward is that negative SEO is seemingly a very real concern for the majority of websites on the Internet. IMO this won't really change much unless there is major publicity and studies being done, many of which are in the process, etc...
The thing is, competitors don't even have to "tank" your site several places/pages to do damage, now that we know incoming links can directly harm you in certain ways, it is very easy for competitors to REALLY "junk up" your website's backlink portfolio. WMT is only going to show you SOME stuff, imagine the backilink scanning power and vast knowledge of inbound links that Google now has, all being organized into type, class, etc...
So your competition can directly hurt your assets (many of my own websites I consider assets, dunno about others). What if they send links that don't trigger any filters today, but when you go to sell some of your assets in a year the buyers get weary looking at the type of inbound links your assets have accumulated over the years? etc...
Hell, certain types of links could basically be a "ticking time bomb" for some people's assets. Meaning if Google doesn't have an issue with them now, they might 6 months from now. This is certainly a problem to consider when you have ZERO control over the type/velocity of incoming links. Just the tip of the iceberg of things to consider in this type of "eco-system" that apparently is existing...
I often hear people reply: "negative seo is just impractical so it must not really be an issue for most people, because for every one website you tank, another will just take its place, how will you know which websites will shift positions and take up certain places for your ultimate benefit in the SERPs? etc..." Umm, dunno about folks here, but in most of the niches we operate in, there is usually a group of 3-5 "major" players competing for similar organic traffic...so for most folks, if some of those major players are not yet properly aged and established enough to handle bad incoming links with overoptimized anchors from spammy properties, it WOULD be practical to get rid of these websites for an extended period of time, would it not? Ethics and morals aside here, because we all know it isn't about what the good guys won't do, it is all about what the "bad" guys ARE doing.
Let's say people do get hit with some sort of penalty, depending on severity drops their rankings for 60-90 days. 60-90 days is still a lot of money involved for folks. Just makes me wonder if eventually we'll see some high-profile litigation stuff related to this.
I don't know how long other folks have been in this industry, but Google doesn't really often make many major moves unless they get major negative feedback and press coming from different connected avenues, kind of like any other giant company. So I get a little bit frustrated when some folks basically start slinging insults at people telling them that Google will take care of everything and the problem is obviously them as a webmaster or their website must have QUALITY issues and clearly Google doesn't want to index their "crap" blablah. For many folks in many cases, yes this IS the case. But certainly not the majority of websites we have been looking at with this issue lately.
Simply put, telling the entire eco-system of online businesses and IMers (on all different financial and knowledge wavelengths) that shouting from the rooftops about this porblem is going to do them no good is counter-productive in my experiences dealing with giant corporations. It can only help in the long run, right?
I mean Google knows there is a problem for folks, they read all these boards, case studies, reports, complaints from publishers that made them six figures year after year, so are they going to address this specific negative SEO issue you guys think? I doubt it lol...but it certainly can't hurt to keep reminding the general public and the industry that there is potentially a major MAJOR problem at hand...
Another related post from Aaron Wall:
The typical forum posts on many IM boards nowadays:
[forums.#*$!.com ]
That is just one minor variation of popular "negative SEO" efforts being implemented behind the scenes. There are hundreds more posts like that all over the IM community. Not sure why links seems messed, Google: "[METHOD] Illuminati Link Domination Strategy" to see the type of nonsense I am talking about. And THAT is nothing in regards to the type of thing we are looking at on our end here guys...seriously.
IMO Google does not have enough data for reliability purposes other than data related to links (historical perspective, type, class, velocity, etc) to base the majority of their crap off of right now IMO, obviously they're heading for much more social/Author rank, but they are certainly a ways off and will need to do link evaluations for the foreseeable future. Taking this route seems pretty risky from a PR standpoint... It should be an interesting year ahead is all I can say...GETCHAAAA POPCORRRRRRN
"Donnnn't worrrrry, about a thinnnng. Cuz Every little thinggg, is gonna be alriiiiight...."
