If the Hudson triple-murders weren't awful enough -- some sleazeball is now using the tragedy to scare you into buying his company's product.
A. John Peters -- we're guessin' the A stands for A-hole -- sent out a press release with the unbelievable title: "Could a Bedside Shotgun Rack Have Saved Jennifer Hudson's Family from Tragic Death?"
The answer is most likely no. Only one of the three victims was shot in a bedroom.
A-Hole says he didn't issue the release to capitalize on the family's pain -- but are you buyin' what he's sellin'?
OMG how can anyone use this tragedy like this....I hope they sue the hell out of him ....A HOLE
What a sleaze bag! A bedside shotgun? Doesn't this fool know that some people are actually killed with their own weapons?
What a classless, loon!
Oh my God! Seriously TMZ....give us this guys address so he can received thousands of letters telling him what a sleeze he is! Of course, someone like this would probably enjoy it. I can't believe anyone would be so cold and heartless.
OMG, somebody trying to profit off the tragedy? *cough*TMZ*cough* Pot, meet kettle. /rolleyes
"Ask not what your country can do for you, but, what you can do for your country" JFK a real democrat.
he has to be rolling over in his grave to see what has been done to our party.
I forget who said this next quote, but it fits me to a tee. "I didn't leave the democrat party, it left me"
You people are nuts, I can't believe I'm gonna vote elephant, but, our party has taken on too many lefties. See ya
They should have one designed for the couch too. Because that's what 'these kind of people' are like. Once they get up in the morning, they just move their asses to the couch.
I'm kind of tired of hearing about Jennifer Hudsons family. Yes it's a tragedy, but they're covering it like it happened to the president or something.
On topic: Everyone should have a shotgun or handgun in their bedroom for home security. Underneath my bed you'll find a 12 gauge loaded with double aut that I just have to remove the trigger lock to use. Something like that might have saved at least one life in this tragedy simply by racking a shell into the chamber to create the universally understood sound of a shotgun being put into the ready to fire position.
who could be so cruel to do something like this to her when she is already enduring soooo much.
Its funny how people are mad at this. What about the real answer to saving her family........
1. Not getting involved with dirtbags.
2. Having a convicted felon near your family.
What do people expect when they allow people who have history of violence in their lives. Im not SHOCKED to see what happened. It does happen all the time. It starts at the parents and you can tell that the MOM had no brains. Being famous I guess doesnt sheild you from the iggorance of your parents.
This should not have happened but was destined by the WRONG CHOICES of her sister.
I laugh at the people who feel so bad for the family, WHEN IT WAS THE FAMILY WHO MADE THE CHOICES THAT LEAD TO THIS HORRIBLE ACT.
She had the means to be safe but CHOOSE not too.
Its not a bedside shotgun rack she needed, IT WAS GOOD PARENTING FROM THE START.
Pull you head out of your hearts people. This is sad, but it's reality and the reality is, should you choose to do so, you should have the opportunity to defend yourself from something like this. This is a decent product, though storing a shotgun next to your bed when you are not home is just an invitation for someone to steal it. We are shielded from so much that most people actually think they are safe in their cars or homes. We need even more disclosure so that people know the reality of situations like this. This could be your situation! Offering up a product that one sells and referencing a case where it may have been used is not a bad thing.
Perhaps if we had more info and were more in tune with tragedies like this so many people would not be going after or Second Amendment rights.
Here's the link to the story
as TMZ never seems to CREDIT anyone.
"A. John Peters, president of Home Back-Up Protection, said Tuesday that he didn't issue the news release to capitalize on the Chicago family's pain."
His website FAQ states:
"Children visit regularly. What should I do?
It is never wise to keep a loaded weapon close to children. Unload your shotgun, put it away and lock it up."
So either he didn't know there was a 7-year old child involved, which means he fired off this press release to make a quick buck; or he knew about the child but ignored his own website recommendation to fire off this press release to make a quick buck, which shows he's a gosh-darned liar.
All I can say is that at least hopefully this gun rack could save lives. But what about all of the magazines out today that are capitalizing on the tragedy?
To persons who criticize the media( e.g.#7, #9), It was a triple murder within one family you insensitive people.. Whether it was Jennifer Hudson or an average civilian, the story should be covered, just like Elizabeth Smart's case was, the cop who gunned down the fiance in N.Y. and not to mention the interrupted local news and soap opera channels that were interrupted to covered Michael Jackson and crew driving to and from the court house.. News is news, and maybe there are people out there who can learn from this incident. I would much rather them discuss the trial next for the murdered, than to keep hearing all of the bashing that is going on between the political parties. I will be glad when the election is OVER!!!
This tragedy is horrible and I feel for Jennifer! What a terrible loss. The saddest part is that it was avoidable if that sister of hers hadn't made tremendously bad choices in her life ... and "bad choices" is cutting her a HUGE break! When will the Gangsta' crap end? It's a blight on our inner-city communities all over this country. The blame is usually misplaced as well ...

| Nope, i love the fact that it's changing, but I always wait awhile before jumping in. And my PC is almost 2 years old and is still kicking, so while I enjoy talking Sandy Bridge I'm not upgrading. I built the computer when the Core i3/i5/i7 were just coming out and were quite expensive. I instead went with the previous LGA 775 components and built a great box and saved some cash. My Q9550 chip was $209 at the time, where the core i7 was about $600. And my friends who bough i7's at the time, now all want a Sandy Bridge CPU today. I'll almost always buy something when it's not the latest and greatest, but rather 1 generation back. It just works for me. And I feel great about having a wandering eye as a kid because it impacted my ability to see 3D movies and such. So, I don't need a 3D TV because i flat out cannot see it properly And the Best Buy BuyBack program seems like the dumbest thing you could possibly do. Pay more up front to get at max 50% back in a very short time that you can use to buy even more. What's wrong with people today. |

When it comes to phones, i leave all the fancy stuff to the younger folk. I get an occasional update when my son gets a new phone, as he gives me his old one, providing it is not too worn out. |

Montreal - Phoenix
To MTL: Mikkel Boedker
To PHO: David Desharnais, MTL 2013 2nd round pick (projected 35th - 40th pick) Habs need a dynamic LW that can play in their high flying system on the 2nd line. Boedker's speed would be used greatly in MTL. I think he's being wasted in PHO with their trap, defense first system. PHO just lost their only pure playmaker in Ray Whitney, and could desperately use a playmaking center (currently have Hanzal, Vermete, Gordon) Desharnais showed that his size was not an issue when flanked with big power forwards. Would look good beside Doan. Habs new top 9 Pacioretty - Plekanec - Cole Boedker - Eller - Gionta Bourque - Galchenyuk - Armstrong Coyotes new top 9 Korpikoski - Desharnais - Doan Sullivan - Hanzal - Vrbata Torres - Vermette - Gordon |
But but...David Desharnais is a french Canadian.
I dont personally mind it, but when you do proposal like this..trading a french Canadian to another team, Jesus watch you, and you make him very sad. |
David Desharnais is a monster. I wouldn't trade him for Boedker..
Also living in Quebec, most people know how to pronounced his name but when they don't it's so funny. |
I think that is a horrible trade. You are trading a guy that centered your first line last season so you can have a guy that puts up half the points on your second line. Plus we have to give a second also.
Please go build some other team. Boedker may be younger and have some untapped potential, but at this point he hasn't shown that he could put up points in the AHL let alone the NHL. Quite the fall from Cammalleri-Bourque-Boedker. Who's next, Blunden. |
I think the Habs would have to pass... they need the points and creativity of Desharnais right now. I'm a fan of Boedker from junior days, but don't really see him enough in the NHL to get a sense of how representative his linear-ish stats lines are of his overall progression... my hunch is that he's kind of like Eller, where he actually is playing and progressing well, even if the stats don't declare that, and is poised for a mini-breakout of sorts sometime soon. Anyway, he's a relatively high 1st round pick and a guy with lots of potential, and I don't think the Coyotes would be trading him away for somebody of Desharnais' pedigree either. I would pass from both sides. In a few years if/when Galchenyuk actually has arrived, then we can start looking at stuff like this, maybe. Not yet.
At this point I think Desharnais has more value than Boedker. He had full of potential but he was badly mishandle and might not be able to reach what was forseen when he was draft 8th overall. As for Desharnais, last season might be a fluke but he did put up points.
At first, I thought mike was a big fella. I checked, now I'm more like: 'naaaaaah....'
I love me some David D srsly tho. I prefer david's upside |
It doesn't seem like a deal that benefits either teams.
Boedker put up 69 pts in his 208 games he's played .Desharnais put up 60 pts last season alone.Easy no from the Habs.
As far as this trade is concerned, it's not bad but I think both teams say no. In a few years we could see different answers to this trade but at this point both players are too young and still have too much to prove. |
I counter (even if i know the anwser) Vermette, Louis Domigue and a 3rd 2013 vs Plekanec, Palushaj and a 2nd 2013 I'd rather keep Desharnais ! |
If Montreal takes the long-term view, the OP proposal is an easy yes for the Habs, imo.
I like Boedker and that kind of talent we need and can use. Montreal is going to have to make a decision about what centers to keep and which to let go and these kind of offers make the decision easy to make. |
Most of us Coyote fans think Boeds turned the corner and expect great things in the future for him. Most of us also hope Miele can turn out to be as good as Desharnais!
I think Boedker playing with his countryman Eller on the second line would be epic in Habs land. He's one of the fastest players in the game and fits our team to a T. For me the decision is an easy one for centers.....Pleks, Eller, Gally going forward. I understand the want (and even the need) for a French star on the Habs, but we need to stop placating that need with the Darches, Lapierres and even Desharnais' of the world, and start striving for the Girouxs and P. Bergerons. Does Jonathan Drouin fit that description? Maybe, but I'd much rather have Barkov. |
and don,t tell me that Plekanec can be the same when he is playing a north south style when DD is playing an east west style «Pacioretty - Plekanec - Cole Boedker - Eller - Gionta Bourque - Galchenyuk - Armstrong ??? - ??? - ???» Vs Pacioretty Desharnais Cole Galchenyuk Vermette* Gionta Prust Eller Bourque Armstrong White Moen * (i use Vermette as if my counter offer was accept if not you can put Plekanec) |
Plekanec is better than Desharnais, and it's not even close.
Plekanec put up 69 points playing with similar players in a veteran Kovalev (akin to Cole) and Andrei Kostitsyn (akin to Patches) who still had upside at the time. So he wouldn't put up points playing with those 2. Are you kidding me. He had 52 pts last season (not far off from Desharnais' 60) playing with scrubs half the time.....and having to expend a huge amount of energy each game on the PK (2nd amongst forwards with 3:13 SH time per game) There's a reason why Plekanec is seen as the most underrated player in hockey....even his own fans can't see his value. Put Desharnais in Pleks role and Plek in Desharnais' role and then check the track record. NOT EVEN CLOSE. I bet you also thought that Ovechkin was better then Crosby when he was putting up 110 pts with Backstrom and Semin, while Crosby had to play with Kunitz, Armstrong, and a washed up Bill Guerin and John Leclair. Put Crosby with that talent and see how many points he puts up. It's pretty obvious to me now that you're a french homer, that just wants to see all french players on the team, regardless of talent. I have no problem with french players (Pat Roy is one of my all time faves and I was even a big fan of Richer as a kid) but I'll stick to wanting a Giroux on my team while you stick to stop gap solutions like Desharnais and PA Parenteau |
Seriously, if Desharnais is going to be that undervalued by Montreal, I'd gladly take him in TO
Out of curiosity what would Habs fans think about a trade for Higgins or Raymond? Or would Booth be a better fit?
Plekanec as the most craziest pk ice vision while DD as the craziest playmaking vision. Go ask to *********** Mike Cammalleri ! |
Raymond has speed that we can use on the second line, but he's too inconsistent, and we've just gotten rid of that problem (Andrei InKostitsyn) So I'd have to go with the concussed Booth. At least he can throw the body and has speed on top of it. Scored 30 once with a crappy Florida team, so why not in Montreal (guess you were saying that in VAN too huh?) So Desharnais straight up for Booth? DEAL!! |
The problem last year was Cammy, being lazy, not going to the net, sulking, playing a perimeter game... not Plekanec. I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree. You love Desharnais and I think Plek is better, and neither of us will change our minds. |
Plek is good but don' fit the style while DD is good and fiting but need to upgrade is denfensive laibility wich will come ... give him another year too see and you'll be surprise! I don't think Plekanec is bad or done it,s just time to give a chance to a newcomer in the organisation : Passe le flambeau man! |

@720BOMBER: Think of it this way... Wii Music is just like a Mario game. You can just follow the path or you can explore around for little secrets. Rather than saving the Princess for the reward, however, you get a music video. If you did a good job it's a great reward. So if that sounds interesting to you... a kind of musical take on Mario/Zelda, then you will love it. The alternative is Rock Band/Guitar Hero where you do not explore but instead practice to complete a level as shown. I love the game, but honestly I'm not surprised that a lot of people have trouble with it - it's very hard using your ears rather than your eyes! And the reward is not very traditional.

Hot answers tagged autism
First question, how deep is your knowledge about autism and Asperger Syndrome? Do you understand how autistic people think? Do you understand, what this girl have meant, when she have written, she doesn't really understand what each means?
For neurotypical person, a typical use-case for I understand you phrase is I know what you feel. But autistic people by ...
I don't think this is a serious scientific theory at all. The "theory" makes many assumptions about the supposed behaviour of Neanderthals that are not based on evidence, e.g. that they preferred cold to heat. Archaeological evidence indicates that they used fire. There is also a lack of evidence that their social skills were on par with those of autistic ...
I don't know if it's a reasonable scientific theory, but here's some more info:
Autism: The Eusocial Hominid Hypothesis
ASDs (autism spectrum disorders) are hypothesized as one of many adaptive human cognitive variations that have been maintained in modern populations via multiple genetic and epigenetic mechanisms. Introgression from "archaic" hominids ...
I am by no means any sort of expert at the French mental health system, but I was curious and found a few reasons that may indicate why such a philosophy is prevalent.
In this blog, an American psychologist analyzes the differences between the American and French schools of thought on ADHD, but the observations hold for other conditions as well. While ...
Researchers at Boston Children's Hospital compared raw EEG data from 430 children with autism to data collected from 554 control subjects, all ages 2 to 12. They found that children with autism displayed consistent EEG patterns which indicate altered connectivity between brain regions. They found evidence of altered connectivity throughout the brains of ...
Assuming there's not a neurological dysfunction underlying sleep deprivation (which is even more possible with Aspergers as sleep dysfunction is a typical comorbidity) it can simply be a learned behavior. The more you do something (whether you particularly "enjoy" it or not) the more likely you are to build it up as a habit. Procedural memory is always at ...
Feeling as though you have seen a face before is perfectly normal. It may reflect actual similarities between the new face and the face you have seen before. There are people who genuinely look like each other, an example being celebrity look-a-likes. It may also reflect a commonly observed cultural/ethnic effect where people of a different ethnicity look ...
This is a partial answer suggesting a possible causal mechanism.
One of the factors leading to birth defects and autism is mutations in the parent's genetic material. In a recently published article, Sun et al. (2012) observed that:
The paternal-to-maternal mutation rate ratio is 3.3, and the rate in fathers doubles from age 20 to 58, whereas there is ...
From my very brief skim of the field, it seems like the consensus is that savants have access to the kind of low-level information processing which non-savants do not. I'll summarize one such theory in some detail, since it's the one that I've happened to read. But I'm not an expert in this field and this is just one of the theories, the rest of which I ...
Although I don't know any publications exactly on that matter it is possible to be true.
So please treat this as a speculation.
People with Asperger Syndrome (or High-Functioning Autism) have higher attention to detail and tend to build more rigid structures in their minds (while neurotypicals may have more error-tolerant but less efficient structures). So ...
Generally speaking, yes; it's relatively more common for psychosis to be comorbid with or present after diagnosed Autism.
For a good overview of this topic read Autism and Schizophrenia (Yael Dvir, MD and Jean A. Frazier, MD).
COS (Child Onset Schizophrenia)—the onset of psychosis before age 13 years—is considered a rare and severe form of ...
Well that looks like the behavior of any person with a strong passion and focus for his work. There are plenty of these around!
I guess it would be more common in any field of work were people already have dedicated a significant part of their life to it, and where it is almost a prerequisite. Being a mathematician selects and cultivates people able to ...
Depends which IQ test you use - individuals with ASDs show a typical "pattern" on the WAIS, which can cause it to appear like they have lower IQs. When tested with tests which aren't biased in this way, they appear to have the same IQ range as neurotypicals.
The assumption that those with an ASD are cognitively impaired pervades both popular and scientific ...
Sounds no more dubious than the pop-psychological view of Neandertals in general. One should be aware that the real picture of what Neandertals were, and how various modern human populations are related to them, has changed very rapidly in recent years. I doubt the claims you include about Neanderthal society.
We have no idea about to what degree a ...
How do the brains of savants such as Orlando Serrell and Temple Grandin compare to a standard brain?
I believe the answer lies in minicolumnar morphology in the neocortex. It's been shown that the minicolumns of autsitics and gifted individuals have narrower minicolumns, with greater spacing between each minicolumn. It's speculated that this creates an increased ability to distinguish percepts. Here is a paper on the topic:
Casanova MF, Switala AE, Trippe ...
In general, no. People with excellent memories can just as easily misapply the availability heuristic as people with poor memories.
To see why, consider a situation where a reasoner is asked to estimate the relative frequency of murder and suicide. Because examples of murder or more "available" (i.e., more easily recalled) than examples of suicide, the ...
There's a very small percent of people who enjoy the adrenaline of mental exhaustion. While that signals most people to stop, there are people who will continue exhausting themselves. This isn't physiologically healthy. You need to recognize when you're worn out and rest. Don't get hyper-focused on your problem.
Sociologists King and Bearman have been looking into this (see King & Bearman, 2009a; King & Bearman, 2009b; King & Bearman, 2011; King et al., 2009). They estimate that some of the increases in ASD identification are due to the following:
25% attributed to diagnostic accretion - particularly children with mental retardation now being ...
I'd like to expand on volkerjaan's answer. I am Asperger myself. I know what :-), ;-) and ;-( mean (though I know ^^ only as see above). I don't necessarily understand when people are using them. I do understand their origins, and I suspect that is what the question boils down to.
To explain what they mean:
:-) — person feels happy
:-( — person feels sad
How one performs quick mental calculations through tricks and shortcuts can easily be looked up on the internet. How some Savant's do it cannot because we don't know. There is some argument that some do those same tricks but others seem not to do so.
Consider that a substantial amount of computational power goes into immediately recognizing that your ...
While quantitative changes like the ones described in the EEG in the other answer are critical in distinguishing an person with autism from a non-autistic person, they are not really diagnostic tools yet.
You had mentioned the possibility of using a CT scan for a diagnosis. As far as I can tell, there is no way of doing this as of late, but several groups ...
If you define mental disorder as any behavior not applying to (more or less arbitrary) social norms, then yes, the activity you describe would probably be considered mental disorder. However, the same would apply for example to:
most hobbies
asceticism and religious devotion
playing and listening to music
The last may seem odd, but Plato ...
Your question is very broad. But from my reading of the literature, my hypothesis would be that there wouldn't be a difference in the degree to which learning curves are logistic.
In a very general sense, learning generally involves the accumulation of a vast number of smaller components. Some components are easier to acquire than others and some yield ...
You could take the AQ Test, which is based on the Autism Spectrum Quotient. It was published by the Autism Research Center at Cambridge University. It doesn't give you a diagnosis, but rather suggests that some have more autistic traits based on their score. It measures autistic tendencies other than ones that would be considered a disorder, like most in the ...
Not sure about any of this, since I just found out today by reading this article:
about the French alternative approach. I guess the only thing I can add is that the article above indicates there are some benefits to the French approach over the American, as well ...
:) (also spelled :-))
A modifier meaning that someone is happy or want to relieve.
I was a really nice day :).
Don't worry, you will pass the exam :).
:( (also spelled: :-()
A modifier that someone is sad or wants to say sorry.
...and then I spilt all milk :(.
I couldn't do it for you :(.
;) (also spelled: ;-))
The most succint way to explain emoticons is that they are an expression of informal rating on a person's recent comments.
:) represents, as Omoe said, a informal expression of pleasure at something which has just been expressed.
:( a contextual informal 'unhappiness'.
Emoticons are just 'up-votes' and 'down-votes'. They have nothing to do with real ...

SVTP Reviews True Forged's New Mustang Jacking Pad
True Forged's new Jacking Pads are one of those "well duh" tools that everyone needs in their toolboxes. If you own an S-197 Mustang you know what a pain it can be to properly jack your car up without crushing the pinch weld seam (Ford's recommended area from which to lift the car). True Forged owner Steve Medina saw the opportunity here to develop a product to make Mustang modder's lives a little easier. After a few prototypes and a couple of revisions Steve@TF has brought to market the True Forged Jacking Pad. The True Forged Jacking Pad is hewn from a solid piece of billet aluminum and is Made in the USA. They basically cradle the unibody during a lift while placing the pinch weld seam safely in a machined slot. By locating the seam in this slot you greatly reduce the chances of it being damaged by the jack. http://www.svtperformance.com/articl...k_Pads_001.jpg They are made from one solid piece of billet aluminum. http://www.svtperformance.com/articl...k_Pads_002.jpg True Forged is currently running a Group Purchase here on SVTP for these jacking pads. For $50 (plus $5 shipping) you can avoid marring up the underside of your car with a fine American made product from a long time SVTP Vendor. I suggest buying a pair for use with a set of jack stands. http://www.svtperformance.com/articl...k_Pads_003.jpg The True Forged Jacking Pad fits perfectly in this location. http://www.svtperformance.com/articl...k_Pads_004.jpg We tried to use the jacking pads on this 2013 Boss 302 LS. http://www.svtperformance.com/articl...k_Pads_005.jpg Unfortunately, this bolt for the side exhaust is in the way and prevents the pad from being used on this application. http://www.svtperformance.com/articl...k_Pads_006.jpg However, it works perfectly on many other models. http://www.svtperformance.com/articl...k_Pads_007.jpg Without this pad in place you would run the risk of damaging this pinch welded seam. http://www.svtperformance.com/articl...k_Pads_008.jpg The True Forged Jacking Pad cradles the seam inside this slot and supports the body on both sides of the seam. http://www.svtperformance.com/articl...k_Pads_009.jpg This way you can avoid unintended body damage. http://www.svtperformance.com/articl...k_Pads_010.jpg Unlike this cheap Harbor Freight jack, the True Forged Jacking Pads are 100% made in the USA. http://www.svtperformance.com/articl...k_Pads_011.jpg When placing an order with True Forged be sure to tell them that you're a member on SVTP. http://www.svtperformance.com/articl...k_Pads_012.jpg According to True Forged these are the known applications for their jacking pads: They DO fit:

If I didn't have a pair of jacking rails installed, I'd definitely look at picking one of these up.
i want it!! wish it was a bit cheaper though.
Bought mine on a group by in November......highly recommend if your car is lowered.
Soooooo much easier lifting car!! Gets my stamp of approval :rockon: |
These work great! :thumbsup:
Nice write up! |
So this does not fit a 2013 GT500?
I test fit one on my 2012 GT500. It does fit. It fit my Fox GT, but did not fit my 98 Cobra.
Have you guys considered adding a firm high density rubber to the pad-to-car mating surface to minimize any scuffing or scratching of the undercarriage?
I really need this! :) Would love to get one, just sad they won't fit the 94-98's :(
I've had one for about a year now. Its a handy thing to have.
I want one. Lifting the car is a pain. Fits 03 I'm guessing. Anyone had personal experience on the 03's.
I can tell you they don't fit 94-98 Saleens :(..
Very cool
Here is a lnk to Revan Racing's website. For GT500s, you need to specify whether you have a 2007-2010 or a 2011+ model. Thought I had wasted $65 for a minute there. True Forged Billet Jacking Insert - Revan Racing, Inc. |
If one is to remove their side exhaust, I'm guessing these will work on the BOSS?
currently we have two types. version 1.0 and version 2.0 lol. version 1.0 fits the mustangs listed above but did not fit on 2011-2013 gt500s because ford decided to make the cut out smaller. so we revised the part to be smaller to fit those as well. currently i have a large stock of version 1.0, hence the GB for them. once that stock is depleted we will only be making version 2.0 since that works for the version 1.0 fitments AND 2011-2013 gt500s. and i just found out tonight that version 2.0 fits the Focus ST as well. the cut out is a weird triangle shape but it does fit with a little wiggling Trying out new billet jacking pads |
Good to see that the product is still undergoing revisions and improvements to allow it to fit more models. :beer:

In Florida, an election battle is being waged over the state's Supreme Court. Three Florida Supreme Court justices are on the ballot to decide if they will be retained. Typically, those judicial retention votes generate little public interest. This year, though, the Republican Party in Florida - and outside political groups - have targeted the three justices for defeat. From Miami, NPR's Greg Allen reports.
GREG ALLEN, BYLINE: In Florida, Supreme Court justices are nominated by a commission and appointed by the governor. Every six years, they're up for retention. Voters decide whether to keep them on the bench or let them go. Since the system was put in place in the 1970s, retention votes have been pro forma affairs, with justices doing little fundraising or campaigning. But this year is different.
UNIDENTIFIED WOMAN: But then the Florida Supreme Court removed the amendment from the ballot, denying us a voice and a vote on the historically important issues. Shouldn't our courts be above politics and...
ALLEN: That ad was paid for by Americans for Prosperity, a national political action group founded by conservative billionaire David Koch. It sent a signal that conservative activists have set their sights on reshaping one of the state's most powerful government bodies - the Supreme Court.
The ad criticizes the justices for blocking a 2010 initiative that opposed Obamacare. It was one of several decisions by the court in recent years that have angered conservatives.
Fred Lewis, one of three Supreme Court justices up for retention, says conservative groups are injecting politics into a judiciary that's intended to be nonpartisan and independent.
JUSTICE FRED LEWIS: When you turn a judicial process into a popularity contest, then you have judges of whatever level looking over their shoulders before they make a decision. And that's not the way this democracy is going to remain.
ALLEN: In response, the three justices have begun active campaigns of their own. Here's Supreme Court Justice Barbara Pariente at a meeting with the editorial board of the Orlando Sentinel talking about David Koch and Americans for Prosperity.
JUSTICE BARBARA PARIENTE: We now have an out-of-state group wading into the Florida judicial system. And that should be for any Floridian a wake-up call that our judicial branch is under attack.
ALLEN: Faced with attacks by Americans for Prosperity and other groups, this year the three justices have collectively raised more than a million dollars. In addition, the state bar association and many in Florida's legal community have rallied around to support the judges.
Ratcheting up the pressure on the judges recently, Florida's Republican Party also announced it's opposing their retention. It's the first time the Florida GOP has ever taken a stand opposing a sitting justice. But the head of the state party, Lenny Curry, rejects charges that Republicans are playing politics with the state's highest court.
LENNY CURRY: They're on the ballot. This is the law right now. And if our critics don't like the law, then they ought to try to change the law. If they don't think judges should be up for a do-not-retain vote, then work to change the law.
ALLEN: Curry says the proposal came from the party's grassroots - Republican activists around the state who've been unhappy with recent court decisions. Paula Dockery says she doubts that. Dockery is a state senator, one of several prominent Republicans critical of her party's decision to work to unseat the justices. She notes that much of the money for Americans for Prosperity comes from outside of Florida.
STATE SENATOR PAULA DOCKERY: What do out-of-state interests care about the Florida Supreme Court justices? So, it leads one to believe that this is a test run for their attempts to do this in other states.
ALLEN: The battle over judicial retention in Florida comes two years after conservatives won a similar fight in Iowa, ousting three members of the state Supreme Court who ruled in favor of same-sex marriage. This year, as in Florida, conservatives are working in Iowa to reshape the state's highest court, opposing retention for a fourth Supreme Court justice.

Halle Tecco, co-founder and CEO of Rock Health, led a digital health funding panel at a recent Life Science Ventures Summit hosted by the Kauffman Foundation. The panel included Dana Mead, Milena Adamian, Esther Dyson and Sean Ahrens.
Last night I had the privilege of watching the first ever Get in the Ring Competition in the United States. Though this competition is in its sixth year, this was the first year that the United States had participated. The process began in August with groups of judges sorting through about 300 applications from startups all across the country. After several rounds of judging, the final eight startups were invited to Kansas City to participate in the U.S. version of Get in the Ring, the American Startup Clash.
Even with the most intuitive educational material, sometimes the most important thing a students needs is the ability to ask questions. For entrepreneurs, who are often lifelong learners, this is essential to the application of the material to their business. While online learning can facilitate opportunities to learn lessons anytime, anywhere that might not otherwise be available, the opportunity to engage directly with experts creates important connections and discussions.
Leaving presentations to chance is like embarking on a trip without a map (hat tip to Amanda Schnieders for the metaphor). If you don't know where you're headed and how you'll get there, you may not reach your destination.
What if we could take the top talent coming out of colleges and universities today, those that tend to feed into law school, med school, Wall Street and consulting, and put them in startups all over the country? Imagine the job growth possibilities we could create in the country just by giving recent graduates a taste of that entrepreneurial bug. Now, what if I told you there's an organization trying to do just that. Enter--Venture for America.

Romain is pimping the pimping of Swing apps. Of course, I have to pick at him:
It looks bad by default. You have to change it to [get] a good-looking application. Swing makes that really easy. You can override everything, the behaviors, the feel, you can change the look.
You have the powerful Java2D API [that] gives you all the drawing tools you need to create very rich user interfaces, with animation and nice effects. It's the same technology we see in the old-style Swing applications, [and] with the same technology we can create things [that look] similar to the Vista [UI].
When you bring up Windows, most rich clients aren't that rich, actually. They're just gray and dull and have a lot of buttons and text fields. We needed to find a term to talk about clients that go beyond that–rich clients with animation and 3D. The kinds of stuff you see on Vista today. We used the term filthy-rich clients to talk about those clients that tried to go beyond the existing user interfaces…
Rich-clients are getting better and better. They steal ideas from the Web, so we are now at this integration of several media. You have 3D, you have video, it goes beyond just the images we've had so far.
Here is the thing: I don't want to monkey with all the stuff to make my swing app look good. If it is gray and dull that is because you aren't providing me with a default that looks better. This is one of the reasons people respond so well to Flex apps: they look great with just the defaults. I, like most programmers, am lazy. I usually just want an app that does X as quickly as possible. Give me a toolkit that makes it look good by default.

US congress rules Huawei a 'security threat'
dgharmon writes | about a year and a half ago
dgharmon writes "Chinese telecom company Huawei poses a security threat to the United States and should be barred from US contracts and acquisitions, a yearlong congressional investigation has concluded.
A draft of a report by the House Intelligence Committee said Huawei and another Chinese telecom, ZTE, "cannot be trusted" to be free of influence from Beijing and could be used to undermine US security."

Our Purpose
Our Goals
Mission Statement:
The mission of Entheogenic Research, Integration, and Education (ERIE) is to 1) review and conduct research on the use of traditional plant medicines, and their modern analogs, for healing, personal growth, and spiritual exploration; 2) develop new methods that, combined with existing integration practices, help people incorporate transpersonal experiences into their lives; 3) envision an educational paradigm that reframes Indigenous knowledge of the plant kingdom in order to make it relevant to people living in modern, Western, urban contexts; and 4) create a forum for the responsible discussion of these topics.
Our Vision:
ERIE envisions a multidimensional, integral, evolutionary worldview that is suited to a living, conscious, meaningful cosmos. We believe that this perspective is necessary to achieve a healthy, sustainable future for our species and for the biosphere. It will also begin to heal existential angst and other deleterious effects on human psyches and society that have arisen from the materialist-reductionist worldview. The integral view entails remembering our once-respectful relationship with nature and the lessons that she has to offer us.
Our Temporal Stance:
Entheogens have been used since prehistory by Indigenous peoples, who say they learned the use of medicinal plants through their respectful and intimate relations with Nature. We honor the wisdom that Indigenous elders have held in trust for the world for centuries; we also honor the wisdom of modern Western elders such as Hoffman, Grof, Metzner, the Shulgins, the McKennas, and Luna, standing on their broad shoulders to survey the state of entheogenic research. We strive to coordinate ancient Indigenous wisdom with contemporary research to produce a composite picture that is meaningful and relevant to the lives of contemporary Westerners.

Nope, it's not a mirage. The Billabong Desert Daze Strapless Black Dress is the real deal! A gorgeous, strapless bustier bodice is covered in a colorful, embroidered tribal pattern, with a smocked back panel for a custom fit. Crinkled gauzy black material flows from an empire waistline into a lightweight high-low hemline. Adjustable spaghetti straps included. Metal logo tag in back. Dress is lined to mid-thigh. Model is wearing a size small. Dress measures 15.5" longer at back. Shell: 82% Cotton, 9% Polyester, 6% Acrylic, 2% Rayon, 1% Spandex. Lining: 100% Cotton. Hand Wash Cold. Imported.
Need More Info?"I bought this dress for my upcoming honeymoon and found that it fits true to size. However but it's definitely longer than I expected; I'm 5'5" and the back almost hits my ankle. The empire waist also has some gathering so it's not exactly the most slimming look, but its comfy nonetheless. Overall, I found the embroidery to be very nice but the fabric is very cottony and casual-looking so it may become something I would wear to the beach rather than a dinner."

State police say 18-year-old Eric Rutledge told them he thought the 12-gauge shotgun didn't have a shell in its chamber when he pulled the trigger while pointing it at 18-year-old Courtney Rose Daily Tuesday night.
Police say Daily was visiting from Colorado Springs. Rutledge was jailed on a charge of criminal homicide after Daily died early Wednesday in a Pittsburgh hospital.
Police say Rutledge told them Daily aimed the gun at him first but said she didn't have the nerve to shoot someone and never touched the trigger. Police say Rutledge told them he felt the same way and pulled the trigger believing the safety was engaged.

Many call this curious gorge their grave, but early inhabitants left only these outposts behind in memoriam.[1]
Hemorrhage is a map variant of Forge World. It is a remake of Blood Gulch from Halo: Combat Evolved with specific elements from Halo 2's Coagulation built into the Canyon.[1] Specifically, the bases are ported from Blood Gulch, while the terrain is a direct port from Halo 2's Coagulation, scaled to match Halo: Reach.
Hemorrhage is featured in the Team Slayer, Team Objective, Multi Team, Big Team Battle, Doubles Arena, and Team Arena playlists.
In order to survive in this deadly environment, you're going to need all the weapons you can get. From the caves of Hemorrhage to your own base, you can find the locations of all the weapons on this map here.
- Needle Rifle: In the red base, it's at the north end of the the roof. At the blue base, it's at the south end.
- Plasma Repeater: The Plasma Repeaters are found in the center of each base, on the bottom floor.
- DMR: Each base has a DMR on the roof. The red base has one on the east side, and the blue base has one on the west side.
- Magnum: You can find a Magnum in the center of each base, on the bottom floor.
- Sniper Rifle: When you get to the top of your base, the Rifle is leaning on one of the pillars. In the blue base, it's by one of the northern pillars, and in the red base, it's by one of the south pillars.
- Shotgun: Both of the Shotguns on the map are on the eastern side of the valley. There is a cluster of tall rocks nearby each base. At the center of each group of rocks is a Shotgun.
- Plasma Launcher: In the middle of the map, there are three rocks that stick out of the ground. The Plasma Launcher is at the center of the rocks.
- Concussion Rifle: The first Concussion Rifle is along a ridgline on the west side of the valley, and can be reached by following the path set into the western cliff. The second Rifle is reached by following the path along the eastern cliff, and up onto the ridge near the red base.
- Needler: One of the Needlers on the map is right next to a large hole below the ridge in the western cliff. The other is in the middle of four large rocks. These rocks are next to the eastern cliff, near where the blue base teleport receiver is.
- Frag Grenade: Both bases have a pair of Frag Grenades on the roof, opposite the teleporter.
- Plasma Grenade: Two Plasma Grenades can be found on the eastern ridge near the red base. The other pair is on the ridgeline to the southwest, on the southern side of the cave there.
Because of the unique shape of this map, many players find using vehicles to be a clear path to victory. But beware! Although vehicles play a vital part in many strategies, remember that your enemies will know the uses of their vehicles just as much as you do.
- Falcon: Although this vehicle will not appear in all game types, you may still find one on the southern side of the blue base, and one on the northern side of the red base.
- Revenant: Each base comes with a Revenant, and both of them are next to a pair of Warthogs. If you're at your base, facing the other base, then both the Warthogs and the Revenant should be on the right side of your base.
- Warthogs: Like I said before, both Warthogs will be on the right hand side of your base if you are facing the base opposite.
- Scorpion: You can find a Scorpion at either base in Hemorrhage. The blue base Scorpion is to the west of the base, and the other Scorpion is on the eastern side of the red base.
- Mongoose: There is a pair of Mongooses assigned to each base, and both sets can be found nearby the walkway to the top of the base. There are two walkways, but the Mongooses are on the opposite side of the base from the Warthogs.
- Ghost: Similar to the positioning of the Revenant and the Hogs, both bases have a Ghost sitting right behind the pair of Mongooses.
Points of InterestEdit
Vehicle Boost: As there are no flying vehicles on this map (save some game types), many people find that the fastest way to travel in this deadly canyon is by Covenant vehicle. As everyone knows, Covenant craft are equipped with a speed boost that can help you make an escape or turn your vehicle into a ballistic missile. You can use them in this case to get from one side of the valley to the other in a matter of seconds.
Perfect Sniping Spot: To the right of the red base, by the flooded cave, it is possible to climb up the mountain without any armor abilities, useful in games such as Slayer Pro and Invasion slayer, where you don't have jetpack. Climb up the first big rock, then on the cliff, a thin rock can be seen jutting out. Jump to it, and walk along the wall. Jump up to the next big rock, and then walk up the steep narrow path. You will find yourself on a long, flat cliff. Since you are very well hidden, you can bring the sniper rifle up with you and snipe as many enemies as your ammo clip will allow. Even if you are found, enemies will keep trying, and failing, to climb the cliff, constantly falling and sliding back down. Use this to your advantage, and kill them with whatever weapon you brought up as your secondary. Just beware of any grenades they throw up there!
Hide n' Seek: On the cliff mentioned above, if you bring a grenade and sprint, you can grenade-sprint-jump up the slope to the right. Walk down slowly, and once on the grass, you will be greeted by a 10-second kill timer. Make your way to the walls as fast as you can, and drop down on the opposite side. You will take enough fall damage to drop your shields and a bit of health, but you will live. Once at the bottom, hug the wall, there is no 10-second kill timer there. Congratulations! You have just found the best hiding spot on Hemorrhage! Just remember, you cannot kill any enemies here, unlike you could on the sniping cliff. This spot is usually only used for the kinds of players that like to take the lead by a point or two, and hide the rest of the game, resulting in a win. (Your enemies cannot kill what they cannot see.)
- The name Hemorrhage is the third reference to blood in the Blood Gulch line of multiplayer maps (the other two being Blood Gulch and Coagulation).
- There is a glitch on this level that makes grass appear inside the red base. This may, however, be due to the placement of the bases in their current position on the blank Forge World map, given that this was the method used to construct the bases.
- The canyon itself seems to be based on Coagulation, the terrain type is that of Valhalla (without the flowing river), while the bases themselves are those of Blood Gulch.
- This was used as the Red vs Blue's Halo: Reach introduction.[2]
- The description contains the words "this curious gorge" This is a reference to the Halo 3 map, Valhalla, which is another map loosely based off Blood Gulch.
- If you use the orange FX filter on Hemorrhage, you can get a similar color to Blood Gulch on the ground.
- In CTF a few teams will pile Warthogs, Mongooses, and Ghosts onto the flag to protect it. A few grenades are the perfect solution to this.
- Red vs Blue has an explanation why the map became more natural. One of the red team members had forgotten to turn off the sprinkler. That also explains the water puddles.
- Hemorrhage replaces Blood Gulch from Halo: Combat Evolved, as it is a re-skinned version of Blood Gulch.

Air Canada's new discount carrier will fly in July
Additional planes will be added as Air Canada starts to take delivery of new Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft in 2014, ramping up to 50 planes.
It plans to hire 200 flight attendants and pilots for the new low-cost carrier. The pilots will be existing Air Canada pilots who will transfer to the new fleet that will cater to the leisure market.
Air Canada pilots complained during labor negotiations earlier this year that the airline's launch of a low-cost carrier could threaten their job security and working conditions. In the end, a federal arbitrator chose Air Canada's final offer that included provisions allowing the airline to create a budget carrier.
Air Canada is the 15th largest airline in the world, serving more than 33 million passengers last year.
Canadian competitor WestJet is also launching a discount regional carrier in the second half of next year. WestJet Encore will cater to smaller markets with Bombardier Q400 propeller aircraft.

Doing Something
Doing Something, originally uploaded by Tabitha Blue / Fresh Mommy. Taken on my iPhone.
It's amazing how quickly the tide can turn on our plans. Just yesterday I was riding a comfortable wave where one leg was dangling in cuddle time with my kids while the other kicked it's way through that unending list that comes along with working at home. And then it happened. The phone call. Moments later I was using every muscle I had to paddle frantically to shore. The tide had changed and I would be flying out of town for work in less than twelve hours... Of which the next hour was spent on my phone adjusting schedules and making arrangements as I simultaneously stroked the silky hair of the little one sleeping next to me on the big bed and listened to the hum of rhythmic breathes coming through the monitor from the baby's room. I missed them already.
Spontaneity and flexibility, two words that describe my family very well. Two words for which I'm grateful. A date night and a family trip to the lake for ice skating are plans that will wait for another weekend, and will need to be trumped by something spectacular. That is something I can deliver. But the reaction of my littles to go with the flow and smile in the face of the changing waves? That is something only they can do, and they deliver with a perfectly carved cutback every time.
Even now as I type, hovering over the cloud's own version of a white foamy sea, I'm reflecting on the ebb and flow of life. Just when I think I have things planned out, a new break opens up reminding me, once again, to cherish the calm.
Last night, my family rallied for a dinner out. Spirits were high as laughter literally filled our table, inviting comments and compliments from staff and neighboring tables alike. And back at home, bedtimes stretched late into the night, after an evening of filling our bellies and souls. A filling that will hopefully last through the weekend.
But we shouldn't wait for a tidal change to bring on special moments of spontaneity. No, those are moments we'll cherish whether it's followed by the ebb of a brief trip away or the flow of a normal day.
Plane's landing... Gotta run.
Do something spontaneous today, just because. 'Till the next re-filling!

Justin Bieber partied with his boyz this week ... and there are photos that appear to show a large bottle of codeine at the shindig -- aka sizzurp.
The photos show Justin, Lil Za and Lil Twist (we're told both of whom have smoked pot with Bieber) at a table rolling up blunts. Also on the table -- two sets of double cups (a known style of consuming sizzurp which was made popular by Lil Wayne).
In one of the photos, Bieber is drinking out of a double cup. Sources connected to Justin adamantly deny he uses the drug. Based on multiple recent photos, however, it's pretty obvious he smokes pot. In the pics, we don't see anyone present actually consuming the drug.
Bieber is getting pressure from some of his people who think he's basically a good kid ... but hanging out with Za, Twist and some other dudes are taking him down a bad road.
We couldn't reach Za for comment. As for Twist, we reached out to his rep -- so far, no response.
just wait till they say hey J, can you go pick us up some of the sto. We ALL gonna hang here wit' your moms and get to know each other. ;-)~~ HaHa
You guys should stop with all this fake justin bieber crap. Its like this company has something against him. He will seriously sue your ass one day. If instagram is your main source or just even one of your sources that is stupid. I dont know if youve heard of something called photo chopping... but this is clearly what this is! You guys should really do some hard core research before you guys just assume this is real. You guys are so fake and most people know that. This is you guys... Justin: "breathes" Tmz: " Famous popstar Justin Bieber steals air from people who need it more. This is actually what you guys sound like.... I hope u know the whole world knows you are just plain fake.
It must suck to be born black. By default, you're automatically guilty of any law thats broken around you. The law will always question the black kid before they question the white kid. You're born guilty as soon as you come out of your mother.
LSU #1 draft pick JaMarcus Russell got a HUGE NFL contract from the Oakland Raiders and then pissed his career away by messing around with "purple drank" which is the same thing as "sizzurp". JaMarcus Russell goes down in history as one of the biggest NFL draft BUSTS of all time.
You want to go down as one of the biggest busts in the history of pop music Justin? Keep on hanging out with "Lil Twist" and keep on doing lots of drugs like marijuana and sizzurp. Justin shouldn't be surprised when they offer him some crack cocaine or meth one night while he's already high from smoking pot and sizzurp. Then his career will go over a cliff in a hurry.
Justin should watch the Tom Petty video "Into the Great Wide Open" that has a young Johnny Depp in it. It's a cautionary tale about stardom and the Hollywood party scene, etc.
the next thing we're going to hear is he hangs with Lil Scrappy Doooooo, but then Shaggy, Fred, and Wilma won't think too highly of him. But that's the age of his fans.
He should have finished High School.
He is judged by the company he keeps.
What is next?
You know, Harvey and company, you bragged yesterday that you saw the photos and instead of buying them you just memorized what you saw and then post about it? Sorry, if you are too cheap to buy the pics I'm too cheap to buy what you are selling without proof.
Dont forget, it was the black guys. . . According to beibers rep. Why is it always the black folks. White people are just as bad...i can sau this cause i am white

One of the softwares you can try is Easy Recovery. Its a very good software and I have used it quite a few times. It can recover data from raw partitions as well. It costs a little but it well worth it.

Eat the slimes for stat changing (isn't necessary better). Eat mushrooms for health. (Use items by pressing the number on the right of the inventory.) edit | delete

Edie Sedgwick.
Pioneer of "it girls," junkie chic, modern muses and troubled heiresses. White girls like me can understand Edie. I know what it's like to burn through a trust fund, to live in hotels and to have a massive circle of celebrity friends. I think her grandpa invented the elevator or something.
She had a glamorous life- running around the streets of Manhattan in fabulous clothes, never having to worry about annoying things like making your own money, working a "regular" job or going back to school.
Like Edie, I have a gay BFF and an affinity for uppers. She wore leotards before American Apparel existed. She was really an enigma. People have told me that I'm an enigma too. By people, I mean nobody.
