Four people were arrested on felony drug charges after a marijuana bust by the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office.
Deputies served a search warrant on the home Thursday night, near 63rd Ave and Indian School.
They located 70 bundles of marijuana weighing 1,571 pounds, and $47,000 in cash. The stash of marijuana was worth $785,000.
Miguel Sanchez, Lizabeth Medrano, Yadira Medrano, and Osmar Cortez were booked into jail on felony drug charges in connection to the bust.
"We're finding more and more illegal drugs smuggled into the United States by illegal aliens, to warrant a crime suppression operation aimed at drugs and illegal immigration in the near future," said Sheriff Joe Arpaio.

i don't think lots of women realize how much space they need for all their clothes and junk until later, haha.
it's the chuck ragan blueprint sessions 7"s. the one on ebay was listed at $40, but it's already at $53 with over a day left to go so i guess i'll probably have to pass on them since i don't want to pay through the nose for them. one of the guys on vc sent me the CD for cheap so that's tiding me over for now.
i found out no sleep records is in my town... i pass by it on my way to whole foods every week so i might drop by and pick up their exclusives. i don't really care about la dispute or touche amore though, but i might pick it up for a friend who does. it's not a priority for me to get out to a store on that day since there's nothing on the list that i'm dying to have, but if i feel like it, i might stop by no sleep, bionics and/or vinyl solutions.
HWM just posted this picture of 4 of the 7(!) varients they are doing for Exister. I can't even tell which one would be the varient i ordered (dookie w/ electric blue)

D.C. police shoot, kill German shepherd after 3 bitten
Metropolitan Police shot and killed a German shepherd Tuesday night after three people were bitten by the dog.
Detectives said the dog attacked three people--including one in a wheelchair--before officers opened fire.
Jose Meija tried to swat the 75 pound dog away with his hat before the dog dug into his leg, piercing through his pants.
Meija was one of three people with dogbite wounds police found when they arrived in the 6400 block of 14th Street NW.
Police also found a woman who had been bitten repeatedly as well as a man in a wheelchair. But it wasn't until the dog lunged at police that they fired shots, killing him.
Samuel Nwalozie, 12, watched the entire episode unfold from his window.
"It was barking at first and then it started chasing some people because I heard some screams," Mwalozie said.
Neighbor Tommy Miles had to help a friend get her pets inside after the German shepherd was violently taunting them through a fence. Moments later, the dog went after people instead.
"The German shepherd was very aggressive," Miles said.
The owner of the dog didn't want to talk, distraught over the death of the family pet.
Police say none of the victims were seriously injured.

Swivl pans your smartphone to keep you in the shot
By Ben Coxworth
November 14, 2011
When I was a kid, it always used to bug me when someone was supposed to be talking on a locked-off "video phone" in a movie, and yet the phone would pan with them to keep them in the shot! Well, like a lot of other things from sci-fi movies of the past, motorized face-tracking webcams are now a reality - albeit, they're still not very common. As it turns out, however, more and more video calls are being made not from desktop computers, but from smartphones. So, that being the case, how do you go about getting one of those to pan with you? Well, you could buy something like the Swivl.
There are two parts to the Swivl. One of those is the motorized platform, that holds, pans and tilts the phone. The other is the marker, which is wirelessly tracked by the platform. Users can wear that marker to keep the camera trained on themselves, move it in their hand to direct the camera to something else, or hand it off to another speaker.
At the time of its impending commercial launch, Swivl will be available with software designed specifically for newer iOS devices (other than iPad). That said, the basic follow-the-marker function should work with any smartphone or pocket video camera that can fit in the platform - they need to be less than 11 millimeters thick. Smaller point-and-shoot video cameras that have a threaded hole in the bottom are also compatible, via an including tripod mount accessory.
Crowd-sourced funding for the development of Swivl was recently accomplished through the IndieGoGo fund-raising website, at which time the product was called Star. Shipping is now expected to begin early next year. If you want one of your own, you can reserve a system for US$159, at the Swivl website.
To see how the Swivl moves, check out the video below.

Last week, I wrote a post detailing five APIs that I think developers should know about. The reason: they offer useful functionality that most developers (and entrepreneurs) aren't going to want to build from scratch.
The post hit the Hacker News front page and sparked an interesting discussion. One participant, 'Figs', wrote, "Building software on top of someone else's web api is a really, really bad idea."
by Patricio Robles 15 December 2010 11:59am 0 comments
Developers have arguably never had it better. A big reason for that: there are virtually countless APIs that enable developers to build really cool applications on top of foundations that someone else invested in laying down.
When it comes to APIs, however, a lot of attention is focused on popular services that have created platforms that developers can tap in to. Facebook and Twitter are two of the most prominent, and many developers have cashed in developing on their platforms.
by Patricio Robles 10 December 2010 13:08pm 17 comments
If you list some of the most popular and important companies on the internet today, you'll notice that most have one thing in common: they offer an API. And, in most cases, for good reason. APIs can be a valuable asset for an internet business.
But is an API a business development asset, and over time, should it cannibalize business development?

These days it may seem like just about every company on the web is building its own development platform. Enticed by the success of platforms like those offered by Apple, Facebook, Twitter and Salesforce, more and more companies are deciding to give third party developers the ability to make their products and services better.
Yet as we have seen time and time again, building and managing a development platform can be very difficult. For that reason, companies need to be prepared and strategic if they hope to build a successful platform that can thrive long-term. Here are ten tips for doing just that.

Online payments behemoth PayPal thinks developers are key in its quest for world domination. Late last year, it launched a portfolio of new APIs that PayPal hopes will give developers the ability to create applications that extend PayPal's footprint into markets in which it believes its payment solutions could be better utilized.
But if the credit card associations have their way, PayPal will have to compete for the best developers.

Google announced yesterday that it is "retiring" its Google Advertising Professionals program and that a new one, the Google AdWords Certification program, will be taking its place.
The good news: the previous $1,000 minimum 90-day ad spend required has been eliminated for individuals who would like to participate, and the minimum 90-day ad spend for agencies has been reduced to $10,000 from $100,000. That means that more individuals and agencies will have the opportunity to participate.

When Steve Ballmer repeated the now-famous and parodied words, "Developers, developers, developers", he may have been far more sane than he looked at the time.
From Apple to Facebook, some of today's most successful and popular internet companies are taking advantage of third party developers to extend their products and make them more useful and appealing. In many cases, these companies owe some of their success to developers.

Beer served on draft that the brewery, this is the non-barrel fermented version of this. Beer is dark brown with a tan / off white head of small bubbles, nice lacing, moderate to low carbonation.
Aroma is a little smoky / roasty, sweet, mild caramel, not as peaty as some but really nice.
Beer is medium in body and sweet with a nice mild bitterness from grain roast at the backend of the beer. An easy drinking well disguised 8% beer that I'd have a lot more of. Looking forward to the barrel fermented version. Nice job.
Serving type: on-tap

On tap @ Meridian Pint (Washington, D.C.) on 5/4/12. Served in a pint glass.
Pours a deep dark ruby, topped with a ½ finger of rich mocha head. This maintains some robust foamy edges, leaving back a good bit of lacing which hangs down the sides of the glass in sticky swathes. The aroma smells of dark fruit, cocoa, and some smoky malt character. The smoked peat aspects of this gain some strength as this warms.
The taste is smoked malt, some darker nutty roasted character, and then sweet malt notes of cocoa and toffee. The dark fruit flavor here is VERY strong and is dominating the profile for me, even leaving back an almost cherry-like pithiness that lingers after each sip. The mouthfeel is medium bodied, maybe a touch fuller, with some sharpness on the tongue and then more of a firm creaminess that spreads out across the back. For 8% ABV, the alcohol isn't really holding this back a whole lot and the overall drinkability of this for the size is probably my favorite aspect of this.
Yeah, I just couldn't get into this one. The domination of that dark fruit character just kind of gives this a flat feel throughout the taste that left this lacking any real robustness or complexity. This drank well for the size but ultimately came off as fairly forgettable to me.

Poured on tap into a half pint glass/tumbler at Bier Baron DC.
A light caramel head that fades rather quickly, to simply give a nice collar on top of a classic walnut brown body. Beer looks pretty light for a Scotch Ale, there's some lacing while drinking, and some red hues. Fairly transparent.
Nose has a giant nut and roast. Dry malts with out a lot nutty tannic qualities. Seems more like a porter.
On taste a real light body hits with a great dark sweet caramel malt action, but also a bit of a wet palate. Afterfinish gives of a real nice roast character more in the sense of a charing light porter.
Overall it seems like a hybrid porter rich malt Scotish Ale tasting, almost charing mild like roast palate. It's really easy drinking for 8 abv as well you can hardly even tell. I'd have another easily, but it's quite different.

22oz bottle poured into my DC Brau glass. Dark brown in color with a little mahogany tint to it in the light. A full, thick head fades into a thin sticky covering. Very nice lacing as I drank it.
The aroma has a rich, sweet maltiness to it with notes of dark fruits, cherry, caramel and a hint of roasted malts. The malty sweeter dark fruit, cherry like flavors are very good. They did a very good job showing off the sweet malts in the style without becoming overly sweet and sugary.
The taste shows a little more of the roasted malts to it with some noticeable coffee and milk chocolate notes in the finish. The sweeter dark fruits, cherry and caramel flavors are there as well. The roasted malts make it seem like it's leaning towards the porter spectrum to me, but I really like the balance the roasted malts seem to give it. I thought the flavors were excellent for the style.
The mouthfeel is medium bodied with moderate carbonation. Overall, it was a very solid beer. It had more of a roasted malt character to it, which actually worked very well for it in my opinion and gave it some needed balance. So many versions of this style just feel overly sweet and sugary, which is why think this one stands out to me. Very good tasting and interesting version of the style. Although it's probably not brewed exactly to style, I thought it was one of the best scotch ales I remember having.

4/5 rDev +0.3%
look: 4 | smell: 4 | taste: 4 | feel: 4 | overall: 4
Pleasing brew, feels closer to the roasted notes of a porter at times.
Presentation: Growler from DC Brau's NE headquarters. Small dry board with general growler offering notes. Served in a tulip glass.
A - Dark brown pour with a rich creamy head, good retention, fair surface memory, with nice touches of lacing.
S - Roasted nose, malty insinuation, sure enough, but there is plenty of bitter coffee coming through...
T - And the palate follows with a rich roasted note, coffee, hint of caramel, nutty touch…
M - Medium body, softly textured carbonation with a nice soft bitter finish that lingers a bit...
O - Nice flow, rather compact, with a nice lingering roasty/malt sense.
Notes: Nice brew but I can't help but feel at times that this is a kinda porter with a sturdier malty profile. For a second I though of their PQP with a sturdier sense. Not a complaint, just that it does not hit much of the profile that I would typically associate with a Scotch ale.

S: Slightly roasty, some mineralness. Fairly clean, slight wood.
L: Very dark brown, light tan head that dissipates slightly, decent lacing.
T: Sweet, roasty malt up front, slight caramel sweetness. Little hop flavor, medium low herbal bitterness. Finishes with some light mineralness or smokiness, very subtle. Finishes slightly roasty, fairly dry.
M: Medium bodied, medium carbonation. Alcohol hidden.
More of a stout than scottish. Not bad, but nothing too exciting.

22 oz bomber, bottled sometime in September or October, 2012, poured into a pint glass.
A- Pours black with a thin khaki head, leaves some spotty lacing.
S- Big malty aroma, lots of caramel, hazelnut, roasted malt, lots of peat and a bit of smoke. Smells really nice.
T- Big roasty malts, bitter dark chocolate, some caramel and hazelnut, lots of roasted grain and coffee. Earthy peatiness is still noticeable but is a bit less prominent beneath the roasted grain.
M- Medium-bodied, moderate carbonation with a smooth, very creamy feel.
O- A really nice Scotch ale, it's very aggressive on the roasted malt but is still complex and enjoyable, I definitely recommend picking this one up.

*From notes
-- Muchos gracias, Juanny --
A: God I hate to say it, but this looks pretty terrible. It seems like this wasn't racked, or not enough. There's no separation of sediment. It's an ugly muddy and overly cloudy brown. A solid pour yields a one finger head that leads to a small collar and not a whole lot of lacing.
S: Lots of dark roast. And luckily it's not overly green. A firm backbone of malt reveals itself as it warms.
T: Chocolate malt, medium char, molasses, freshly bricked charcoal and of course plenty of dark roast. If I didn't know any better, I would have told you this was a Porter.
M: I'd like less bubbles and the viscosity of used motor oil, but that ain't happening. It's certainly not bad as it is, it's just a bit lighter in weight and rough around the edges.
O: Certainly not my favorite DC Brau brew. It's not brewed to style, yet I like how it's pushing the boundaries of what you'd consider a Scotch Ale or Wee Heavy. (Luke warmly) Recommended for those looking to spread their crafty little wings.

Tyler Stableford Puts Canon's 1D X Through its Sub-Zero Paces in 'Shattered'
Premiering at last month's NAB, Aspen photographer and director Tyler Stableford's short film Shattered provides a poetic portrait of the elemental battle undertaken by ice climbers as seen through the eyes of Steve House and was entirely shot on the Canon 1D X which Stableford was fortunate enough to be the first in line to get an in the field hands on with.
As well as doing its thing despite the low temperatures, the 1D X impressed the Shattered director with its high ISO capabilities, the team shooting night scenes at up to 25,600 ISO:
I have to say the camera's low light capabilities blew my mind. We shot some nighttime footage and the camera could see better than the naked eye. I feel like it's a game changer in terms of what we as photographers and cinematographers can now capture.
The team have diligently tracked the production process of Shattered through all its stage and put out three Behind the Scenes videos which you can watch below.
In part one Stableford sets the scene for the project's genesis and explains how Shattered was driven by the voiceover script and sound design considerations:
The crew hit the ice and snow with their pair of 1D Xs and a mix of regular, tilt-shift and macro lens in part two:
In the third Behind the Scenes we get into the post process as the team cut Shattered in Premiere Pro and run it through Blackmagic's DaVinci Resolve for colour grading:
Also, if you'd like to see exactly how Stableford used Canon's 600 EX speedlites and STE3 transmitters to enhance the images he captured check out this tutorial:
Have Stableford's results got you excited about getting your hands on the 1D X?

Is it just me, or does the resolving power out of this camera seem better than the 5DIII?
Hi Mar, thank you for the kind writeup! Say, the link to the first of the three behind-the-scenes features should actually be this video: https://vimeo.com/42784084
Best regards,

Censors ban an animated video which bashes China's human rights record.
A violent animated film depicting an unjust world in which rabbits revolt against their tiger overlords has been deleted from a Chinese video-sharing website ahead of the Year of the Rabbit, its creator said.
"It has been deleted," said director Wang Bo, who created the South Park-style cartoon, which features babies poisoned by toxic milk and rabbit children run over by tigers.
"It's probably because the cartoon is very violent," said Wang, whose film references the recent Sanlu tainted milk scandal, which sickened thousands of infants, and the death of a Hebei college student hit by the car of a 23-year-old police chief's son.
"I don't know how other people will see this," Wang said. "But the inspection authorities frequently delete things that I create."
"Of course I don't like to have my stuff deleted, but maybe it broke one of their rules ... I'm not sure exactly which rule ... There's not really much I can do about it," Wang added.
But other commentators said the gruesome content pointed at real problems in today's China, and gave vent to simmering public anger over widespread official corruption and shoddy safety standards.
'Background of social realism'
The cartoon went viral on video-sharing sites in recent days, suggesting it touched a nerve with Chinese netizens.
"I have seen this cartoon," said Ai Xiaoming, literature professor at Guangzhou's Zhongshan University. "I thought it was extremely clever. Everything that happens in it is the sort of thing that people today are worrying about."
"It was made against a background of social realism, and especially the anger depicted," Ai said. "They have turned people's real feelings about events into a whole meaning system."
"They have managed to express things which people are unable to express in any other way."
Guangxi-based author Jing Chu said the authorities appeared to be stepping up controls over the Internet, inhibiting ordinary people's freedom of expression in favor of social stability.
"I saw the rabbit cartoon. It exposes a number of problems which we find in contemporary Chinese society," Jing said.
"The authorities are controlling the Internet ever more tightly now, because they are afraid."
"The government has always relied on lies and terror to control China, [but] sometimes on the Internet you can still see something authentic."
Creating 'a pressure cooker'
Jing warned that suppressing the Internet as the last forum for free expression would lead to greater social instability.
"If you close off every possible [outlet] then it turns into something like a pressure cooker, which is extremely worrying," Jing said.
The cartoon opens with baby rabbits who die horribly from drinking "Sanlu" milk formula, made by the now-defunct Chinese dairy giant that was at the center of a huge scandal in 2008 over tainted milk.
The milk was blamed for killing six infants and sickening 300,000 others.
The rabbits in the video refer to the Chinese Year of the Rabbit, which begins on Feb. 3, while 2010 was the Year of the Tiger.
At the end of the video, the rabbits stage a mass uprising against the tigers, sparking general bloodbath.

With Hu Jintao, China's president, currently visiting the United States, stories about growing Chinese economic might are everywhere. And those stories are entirely true: although China is still a poor country, it's growing fast, and given its sheer size it's well on the way to matching America as an economic superpower.
What's also true, however, is that China has stumbled into a monetary muddle that's getting worse with each passing month. Furthermore, the Chinese government's response to the problem -- with policy seemingly paralyzed by deference to special interests, lack of intellectual clarity and a resort to blame games -- belies any notion that China's leaders can be counted on to act decisively and effectively. In fact, the Chinese come off looking like, well, us.
How bad will it get? Warnings from some analysts that China could trigger a global crisis seem overblown. But the fact that people are saying such things is an indication of how out of control the situation looks right now.
The root cause of China's muddle is its weak-currency policy, which is feeding an artificially large trade surplus. As I've emphasized in the past, this policy hurts the rest of the world, increasing unemployment in many other countries, America included.
But a policy can be bad for us without being good for China. In fact, Chinese currency policy is a lose-lose proposition, simultaneously depressing employment here and producing an overheated, inflation-prone economy in China itself.
One way to think about what's happening is that inflation is the market's way of undoing currency manipulation. China has been using a weak currency to keep its wages and prices low in dollar terms; market forces have responded by pushing those wages and prices up, eroding that artificial competitive advantage. Some estimates I've heard suggest that at current rates of inflation, Chinese undervaluation could be gone in two or three years -- not soon enough, but sooner than many expected.
China's leaders are, however, trying to prevent this outcome, not just to protect exporters' interest, but because inflation is even more unpopular in China than it is elsewhere. One big reason is that China already in effect exploits its citizens through financial repression (other kinds, too, but that's not relevant here). Interest rates on bank deposits are limited to just 2.75 percent, which is below the official inflation rate -- and it's widely believed that China's true inflation rate is substantially higher than its government admits.
Rapidly rising prices, even if matched by wage increases, will make this exploitation much worse. It's no wonder that the Chinese public is angry about inflation, and that China's leaders want to stop it.
But for whatever reason -- the power of export interests, refusal to do anything that looks like giving in to U.S. demands or sheer inability to think clearly -- they're not willing to deal with the root cause and let their currency rise. Instead, they are trying to control inflation by raising interest rates and restricting credit.
This is destructive from a global point of view: with much of the world economy still depressed, the last thing we need is major players pursuing tight-money policies. More to the point from China's perspective, however, is that it's not working. Credit limits are proving hard to enforce and are being further undermined by inflows of hot money from abroad.
With efforts to cool the economy falling short, China has been trying to limit inflation with price controls -- a policy that rarely works. In particular, it's a policy that failed dismally the last time it was tried here, during the Nixon administration. (And, yes, this means that right now China is going to Nixon.)
So what's left? Well, China has turned to the blame game, accusing the Federal Reserve (wrongly) of creating the problem by printing too much money. But while blaming the Fed may make Chinese leaders feel better, it won't change U.S. monetary policy, nor will it do anything to tame China's inflation monster.
Could all of this really turn into a full-fledged crisis? If I didn't know my economic history, I'd find the idea implausible. After all, the solution to China's monetary muddle is both simple and obvious: just let the currency rise, already.
But I do know my economic history, which means that I know how often governments refuse, sometimes for many years, to do the obviously right thing -- and especially when currency values are concerned. Usually they try to keep their currencies artificially strong rather than artificially weak; but it can be a big mess either way.
So our newest economic superpower may indeed be on its way to some kind of economic crisis, with collateral damage to the world as a whole. Did we need this?

Chinese authorities move against a writer who exposed their involvement in a casino.
A blogger who served one year and nine months in labor camp after exposing official corruption on the overseas Chinese-language website Boxun said he will continue to fight for compensation after state security police threatened his family.
"This morning, several officers from the Shenyang municipal national security police burst into my relatives' home and started threatening them and intimidating them verbally," said Sun Haiyang, who was sentenced in early 2009 after he wrote a series of articles about officials' involvement in a local casino.
"They don't want me to speak out about this miscarriage of justice, and they don't want all the news about this protected casino to come out in the media for even more people to read," Sun said.
"So, when they couldn't find me, they started threatening and intimidating my relatives."
Sun, who said he had already received a beating in June 2007, of which a video recording was available online, vowed to keep up the struggle to tell his story and fight for his rights.
"I did nothing to break the law," he said. "It seems fairly clear to me that this is an act of revenge against people who work in the media."
Corrupt officials
Sun said he began writing about the local casino on a news blog hosted by the U.S.-based Boxun, which is blocked inside China.
"The local officials hated me, because I reported that they all had shares in the casino," he said.
"I revealed a dark side of corruption among the local judiciary, and so local officials took their revenge against me."
Sun's lawyer said he has so far been unsuccessful in lodging an official complaint against Sun's sentence to "re-education through labor," an administrative punishment which can be handed down for up to three years without a trial.
"The authorities haven't provided him with the decision document [from the re-education through labor committee] ever since he was released last year," said lawyer Wen Haibo.
"We tried to get it from the Heping district police, but they were afraid we'd use it to pursue some sort of legal challenge, so they wouldn't give it to us, even though we went round a number of departments ... We didn't succeed in getting it back from any of them."
Sun was first detained on Jan. 9, 2009 after he wrote an article for Boxun four days earlier about illegal parking by a vehicle belonging to the Shenhe district police department.
According to local sources, the article led to the criticism of the Shenhe police department at a municipal-level meeting six months later.
Increased attacks
Overseas rights groups say press freedoms came under greater attack in China in 2010, amid increased government censorship and attacks on individual journalists.
While Chinese journalists and intellectuals now increasingly use social networking tools like Facebook and Twitter to disseminate information, the authorities have stepped up reprisals against those whose reporting steps across officially defined boundaries of acceptable reporting.
The Paris-based media rights watchdog Reporters Without Borders listed China as 171st, or eighth from the bottom, on its Press Freedom Index 2010.
The group has documented previous cases of apparent reprisals against Boxun bloggers and citizen journalists, including a four-year jail term for Nanjing-based journalist Sun Lin in 2007.

Chinese authorities refuse medical parole for a rights activist and winner of the Sakharov Prize.
Jailed Chinese AIDS activist and rights campaigner Hu Jia's health is deteriorating badly, according to his wife Zeng Jinyan, who visited him in a Beijing prison on Friday.
"When we were talking, he suddenly had a seizure, with his face and lips turning pale and his head sweating," Zeng wrote on the microblogging site Twitter.
"He said his left abdomen was hurting. Then he could no long sit upright, so we let him lie down, and we saw that his shirt was wet from perspiration. The guards sent him to the prison hospital, and my visit had to end early," Zeng wrote.
"Hu Jia has always been sick like this. Seizures similar to the one on Friday actually happened several times before, but he hadn't told us," Zeng said in an interview on Monday.
"His medical treatment in prison has never been adequate," Zeng added.
Hu suffers from hepatitis and cholelithiasis, but authorities have denied him medical parole five times in the past without explanation, according to Zeng.
Zeng applied anew on Sunday for Hu's release on medical grounds.
"I filed on Hu Jia's behalf for medical parole again," she said. "Even one day less in jail is a plus for the health of my husband."
Phone calls to Beijing City Prison, where Hu is serving his jail term, went unanswered on Monday.
Wrote critical articles online
Hu's Beijing-based lawyer Mo Shaoping said, "The prison really should give either oral or written explanation for why they have denied Hu Jia's appeal for parole."

U.S. leader to raise human rights at U.S.-China summit.
President Barack Obama has held his first meeting in the White House with key campaigners for human rights in China, highlighting the prickly issue in bilateral relations ahead of talks next week with Chinese leader Hu Jintao.
The meeting on Thursday came as Obama's top diplomat Hillary Clinton, in an unusually forthright message, urged China to release dissidents, including Nobel laureate Liu Xiaobo.
The Secretary of State said on Friday that "the longer China represses freedoms, the longer it will miss out on" opportunities and "the longer that Liu Xiaobo's empty chair in Oslo will remain a symbol of a great nation's unrealized potential and unfulfilled promise."

When China's president, Hu Jintao, visits here next week, the exchange rate between Chinese and American currency will inevitably become a big topic of conversation.
China has been holding down the value of its currency, the renminbi, for years, making Chinese exports to the United States cheaper and American exports to China more expensive. The renminbi's recent rise has been too modest to change the situation, and Mr. Hu's state visit is sure to highlight the real tensions between the countries.
Yet the focus on the currency has nonetheless become excessive. The truth is that the exchange rate is not the main problem for American companies hoping to sell more products in China and, in the process, create more jobs in this country. The exchange rate does not need to be the focus of next week's meetings.
For the United States, the No. 1 problem with China's economy is probably intellectual property theft. Technology companies, for example, continue to notice Chinese government agencies downloading software updates for programs they have never bought, at least not legally.
No wonder China has become the world's second-largest market for computer hardware sales -- but is only the eighth-largest for software sales.
Next on the list, say people who work in China or do business there, is the myriad protectionist barriers China has put up. These barriers make this country's recent efforts at "buy American" protectionism look minor league. In some cases, Beijing has insisted that products sold in China must not only be made there but be conceived and designed there. The policy goes by the name "indigenous innovation."
The renminbi certainly matters, too. It affects the price of every American product sold there and every Chinese product sold here. But discussion of the renminbi typically ends up exaggerating the problem somewhat by relying on an imperfect measure.
The most relevant comparison of two currencies is one that is adjusted for inflation in the two countries. When inflation is higher in one country, as in China today, it means that country's products are becoming more expensive -- and imports into the country become relatively cheaper. In effect, the real price of Chinese-made goods is rising faster than the exchange rate suggests.
Without taking inflation into account, the renminbi has risen 3 percent against the dollar since last summer, when China began letting it rise. Once inflation is accounted for, the real increase has been about 5 percent. At that pace, the renminbi could erase its artificial undervaluation -- as some economists estimate it -- in less than two years.
Of course, one reason for the rise is the political pressure from the United States and other countries. As much as China's Communist Party leaders may claim otherwise, they really do respond to international lobbying sometimes.
The obvious question now is how the Obama administration can apply similar pressure on intellectual property theft and trade barriers. Arthur Kroeber, a Beijing-based consultant and editor of the China Economic Quarterly, goes so far as to call the currency discussion a distraction. "What exactly there is to be gained by quibbling over a point or two in the annual appreciation rate," Mr. Kroeber says, "is beyond me."
The best hope for getting another country's leaders to do anything is to persuade them that it's in their interest. That task is not so easy with trade barriers, because every time an American company is kept from making a sale in China, a Chinese company presumably benefits. It makes the sale instead or, in the case of piracy, it saves money that it would have spent on the authentic product.
Still, China's leaders have reason to be nervous about all the barriers they have built. China's elite, in government and business, are deeply concerned that their companies remain unable to create truly innovative products. The obsession with the fact that no Chinese citizen has won a scientific Nobel Prize stems partly from this worry.
Opening up your economy to more competition may bring some short-term pain, but it also forces companies to become stronger and more creative -- or to wither. Competition breeds innovation.
This self-interest argument is the one that Mr. Obama and his advisers are most comfortable making. They worry that outright pressure on China will put it on the defensive and ultimately backfire. Sometimes, they may worry too much. Pressure clearly can work, as the last few months have demonstrated.
The United States should be able to round up some allies on these issues, just as it has with recent military matters relating to China. BASF and Siemens, two big German companies, have already complained about Chinese protectionism, as have some European leaders. Other countries also have reason to be frustrated with the exchange rate: relative to many currencies other than the dollar, the renminbi has actually lost value in recent months.
But even by itself, the United States is big enough -- and important enough to Chinese companies -- to exert some pressure. That is why the recent "buy American" provisions in a couple of bills, small as they may be, are useful. The same goes for continued discussion of Congressional bills that would penalize China.
If anything, the Republican takeover of the House offers a new chance to hold hearings on those bills. Representative Dave Camp, the Michigan Republican who will become chairman of the Ways and Means Committee, has been a vocal critic of China's protectionism.
Finally, both Republicans and Democrats can use Mr. Hu's coming visit to emphasize -- to him and to the many Chinese citizens who will be following -- just how frustrated many Americans are with the economy's woes. As the scholar Zhang Guoqing wrote in a Chinese newspaper recently, "A high unemployment rate and the trouble in stimulating the economy" are helping to create "enormous hidden dangers" in the United States.
One of those dangers is the possibility that American politicians will eventually decide that tough talk isn't enough to satisfy voters' anger. If that day comes, the United States and China could end up in a trade war that only worsens the situation for both countries.
Editorial | The New York Times | Print Edition of January 11, 2011
While the Obama administration has been pressing China to stop artificially cheapening its currency, Chinese leaders still resist, insisting that that would damage exports and risk the country's economic health and possibly its social order. Spiraling inflation -- exacerbated by the cheap currency policy -- could threaten both.
Right now, China is twisting itself into a pretzel as it tries to rein in prices while also holding down the value of the renminbi. The central bank has increased interest rates twice since October, and in recent months it has boosted banks' reserve requirements three times and introduced price controls on food.
Annual inflation still hit 5.1 percent in November, the highest in more than two years, while higher interest rates are pulling in more money from abroad, fueling a housing bubble and further complicating economic management. Price controls and crackdowns on hoarding might temporarily ease the inflation rate, but they cannot provide a lasting solution. They tend to push businesses to the black market and depress production of regulated staples, leading to shortages -- and often more inflation.
Allowing the renminbi to rise substantially would be far more effective. It would reduce the domestic price of imports, pressuring local producers to keep prices low. And it would temper money inflows by introducing a dose of uncertainty to the exchange rate. A rising currency could ultimately prove far less damaging, in terms of lost growth and employment, than the raft of conflicting policies that the Chinese government is deploying, so far unsuccessfully, to keep rising prices at bay.
So why won't China let the renminbi rise? The most plausible answer is that powerful interests in the export sector are swaying its decisions. Cheap exports have turbo-charged China's growth, but these days it is generating very few new jobs. And the policies supporting the export sector are detrimental to many Chinese, who earn little and pay more than they might for imports.
A more expensive renminbi would cool inflation. It would bolster Chinese leaders' stated objective of developing the domestic consumer economy. The government could deploy some of the hundreds of billons of dollars of reserves it has amassed (now parked in American Treasury bonds in order to keep a cheap currency) to pay for pensions and health insurance for ordinary people. Chinese consumers would then be able to consume more, encouraging imports and slowing exports, and helping both the world economy and the Chinese people.
China would be wise to stop tailoring economic policy to satisfy its exporters and start thinking about the big picture, starting with its own people.

China is failing to deliver on pledges to help its 300 million smokers kick the habit, according to health experts who warned of a sharp rise in tobacco-linked deaths if strong steps are not taken.
By 2030, more than 3.5 million Chinese could die from smoking-related illnesses each year, compared with 1.2 million in 2005, a joint report by Chinese and foreign medical experts said.
The report, "Tobacco Control and the Future of China", was officially released on Thursday and said China would almost certainly miss a January 9 deadline to impose an indoor ban on smoking.
China, the world's largest tobacco producer and consumer, pledged to enact the ban when it became a party to the World Health Organization's Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC) five years ago.
"China's score remains low in terms of its implementation of tobacco control and FCTC obligations. China significantly lags behind in its implementation of the FCTC's requirements," the report said.
The report was sponsored by the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention.
Despite its pledge, no such indoor smoking ban has been put in place and smokers in China continue to light up freely in restaurants and office buildings.
Tobacco is the country's top killer, and smoking and exposure to second-hand smoke result in a huge medical and social cost, the report said.
"Medical costs and labour losses caused by smoking are increasing year by year and at an ever-faster rate," the report said.
Smoking is deeply ingrained in Chinese society and widely accepted, with the offering of cigarette a common gesture of greeting.
As a result, the report said, an estimated 738 million Chinese are exposed to second-hand smoke, including 182 million children.
Government agencies are the largest buyer of high-grade cigarettes, which are often given as official gifts, sometimes as bribes, according to the report.
It singled out the Chinese cigarette industry for particular blame, saying it had seriously undermined anti-smoking efforts and was a key barrier to effective tobacco controls, it said.
"The tobacco industry has become the largest 'health-hazard' industry," said the report.
"Although it is a major taxpayer, the industry is generating a much greater social burden."
China's tobacco monopoly acts as the lead entity in implementing the tobacco control framework, which effectively allows it to impede adoption of anti-smoking policies and laws, it added.
The report called for the establishment of a high-level tobacco control bureau to implement rigorous anti-smoking activities and for the government to discourage smoking by hiking cigarette taxes and other market measures.

MURGHAB, Tajikistan -- On the outskirts of this wind-scoured town, founded in 1893 as a Russian military post, the construction of a new customs compound heralds the return of another major power.
When it opens this year, the sprawling new lot will accommodate much larger caravans of Chinese trucks than the existing trade depot, speeding the flow of clothing, electronics and household appliances that have lately flooded Central Asia, from nomadic yurts on the Kyrgyz steppes to ancient alleyways in Samarkand and Bukhara.
"Trade is growing between China and all these countries around it," said Tu'er Hong, whose truck was one of about 50 from China transferring goods to Tajik drivers one day recently at the current post.
While China is seizing the spotlight in East and Southeast Asia with its widening economic footprint and muscular diplomacy, it is also quietly making its presence felt on its western flank, once primarily Russia's domain.
Chinese officials see Central Asia as a critical frontier for their nation's energy security, trade expansion, ethnic stability and military defense. State enterprises have reached deep into the region with energy pipelines, railroads and highways, while the government has recently opened Confucius Institutes to teach Mandarin in capitals across Central Asia.
Central Asia, says Gen. Liu Yazhou of the People's Liberation Army, is "the thickest piece of cake given to the modern Chinese by the heavens."
The five predominantly Muslim countries that won independence after the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991 -- Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan -- are once again arenas for superpower rivalry, much as the region was during the 19th century Great Game between Russia and Britain. This time the players are China, Russia and the United States, which uses Central Asia as a conduit for troops to Afghanistan.
Chinese officials are wary of what they view as American efforts to surround China, seeing American troops and military alliances in Central Asia, India and Afghanistan as the western arc of a containment strategy that also relies on cooperation with nations in East and Southeast Asia.
China is flexing its own military muscle in the area, conducting sophisticated war games in Kazakhstan in September as part of annual exercises that traditionally include several Central Asian nations. According to a State Department cable released by WikiLeaks, American officials suspected China of offering Kyrgyzstan $3 billion to shut down the American air base there.
The cable, dated Feb. 13, 2009, described an awkward meeting between Tatiana C. Gfoeller, the American ambassador to Kyrgyzstan, and Zhang Yannian, the Chinese ambassador there, in which Ms. Gfoeller confronted Mr. Zhang with her suspicions of the $3 billion bribe. "Visibly flustered, Zhang temporarily lost the ability to speak Russian and began spluttering in Chinese to the silent aide diligently taking notes right behind him," the cable said. Mr. Zhang then rebutted the accusation.

Beijing may be moving to tighten censorship and protect state-owned companies.
Chinese officials and media are warning of a crackdown on "illegal" Internet telephony services, like those provided by Skype, that are not licensed or approved by the country's powerful telecoms regulator.
"We are currently working together with relevant departments to launch a crackdown on illegal voice-over-IP (VoIP) telephony," Beijing's ministry of industry and information technology (MIIT) said in a statement carried on its website.
"We are looking to recruit members of the public who have clues in cases of illegal Internet telephony," said the statement, dated Dec. 10 but featured prominently in official media reports on Friday.
The statement provided a hotline number for anyone wanting to report information to the authorities.
The ministry's move is seen by some as a means of protecting the lucrative international call business of China's state-owned telecom operators.
Others have speculated that the government is also concerned that high-level encryption on VoIP services such as Skype make calls too difficult for the authorities to monitor.
Skype has been a popular tool with activists and others who want to share information relatively freely, getting around the complex system of blocks and filters known collectively as the Great Firewall (GFW).
Gong Shujia, an expert in electronic communications at George Mason University, said the fixed-line service providers found it very hard to compete with the Internet-to-phone services.
"If you have a fixed-line telephone in your home, that'll cost you 30-40 yuan per month, whereas if you use Internet phone services you will only spend 2-3 yuan per month," Gong said.
Important factor
But he said profits were not the only concern behind Beijing's planned crackdown on Internet telephony.
"There are two issues here. One is the issue of the profits of the telephone service providers," Gong said.
"The other is that any information sent as speech over these networks...is already encrypted when it leaves your computer."
"Even if someone was listening in, they wouldn't be able to hear the sound, so I think that is also another important factor [behind this decision]," he added.
Officials have so far declined to clarify the implications of the message for specific services.
But the Beijing Morning Post on Thursday quoted MIIT vice-minister Xi Guohua as saying only state-owned major Chinese telecommunications operators were licensed to provide Internet phone services linking telephones and computers.
Discounted rates
Beijing officials have made similar statements in the past, and also declined to clarify their implications for services such as Skype.
However, Xi said communications between computers (PC-to-PC) remained open to China's 450 million Internet users.
Currently, Skype operates both PC-to-PC calling services, which are free, and PC-to-phone services which enable users to dial international phone networks from their PC at discounted rates.
The ministry has previously said unlicensed VoIP services are illegal, but has declined to specify what action would be taken.
The Beijing Morning Post cited the case of UUCall, a homegrown VoIP service which calls itself "the first Chinese Internet phone brand," which was shut down in October 2009.
UUCall resumed business in February after moving its domain name to Hong Kong, the paper added.
"Not banned"
Netizens hit back at the proposed ban, complaining that VoIP was a public good that should not be declared illegal.
"What benefits people is not legal. I really want to curse out loud," one angry user said.
Skype told Bloomberg on Friday that its services in China remained operational.
"Skype is not banned," Jennifer Caukin, a Palo Alto, California-based
spokeswoman for the service provider, said in an e-mail to the financial news service.
"Our users in China currently can access Skype via Tom Online, our majority joint venture partner."

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Don't tell Capital coach Jon Carpenter that Austin Hensley and Hurricane can't beat the good teams.
Hensley has led the Redskins to victories over the Cougars each of the past two seasons, including one in thrilling fashion last year, driving his team 80 yards and scoring on his own 1-yard run with nine seconds left for a 23-20 win.
That flies in the face of the conventional knock on Hurricane, which is 14-0 against teams with losing or .500 records since Hensley took over at quarterback as a sophomore, and 5-12 versus teams with winning records.
"He's beat us twice,'' Carpenter said, then added wryly, "so we must not be very good.''
Hensley and Hurricane get another shot at Capital tonight, visiting Laidley Field at 7:30 in a tussle of Class AAA playoff hopefuls. The Cougars (7-1) enter the game tied for No. 4 in the ratings, with the Redskins (5-3) at the moment holding the 16th and final spot.
"I thought he took the game over last year on that last drive,'' Carpenter said of Hensley. "He did a real good job. If there's anybody around here better than him, I don't know about them.''
The game matches teams that like to pile up the points. Hurricane averages almost 46 points and Capital nearly 40. The Redskins also crank out 214 yards per game on the ground and 250 in the air.
"That's worrisome,'' Carpenter said of Hurricane's balance, "because it's a little bit easier to stop people who are one-dimensional. Offensively, they're tougher to handle than most people. They just don't beat theirself. We're fortunate to get them later in the year to get our ducks in a row and get a better chance.''
The Patriots expect the return of senior running back Draven Riffe (1,379 yards, 18 TDs), who sat out the last two games with an ankle injury. In his stead, Jacob Jackson has carried the load with 64 attempts, 635 yards and eight touchdowns in his two starts.
The Dragons held Winfield's Chris Turner to four catches and 39 yards last year, but couldn't stop the Generals from rushing for 300-plus yards. SA hopes for the return of quarterback Noah Reed, who missed last week's game with an illness.
Logan's Brynden "Worm'' Street needs 90 rushing yards to go over 1,000 for the season. Josh Rein has accounted for 11 TDs for Logan, five receiving, four rushing and two passing. Nitro's Nick Brown (601 yards) has taken over the team's rushing lead from Brayden Underwood (597), who has missed the last three games with a groin injury.
The Big Reds allow 283 rushing yards per game and have given up 33 rushing TDs in eight games - good news for a Warriors attack that ran for 244 yards against South Charleston a week ago. Riverside also gets back leading rusher Will Jackson, who sat out the last game with an injury.
Poca has tallied at least two TDs in every game this year, but can't keep the other team from putting up 41 points per game. Last year, the Dots allowed 353 rushing yards in a 53-24 setback to Sissonville.
The game pits two of the top rushers in the Cardinal Conference - Shaun Dotson of Hoover (1,043 yards, 12 TDs) and Deonte Joplin of the Miners (672 yards, six TDs). Last year, the Huskies fell to Mingo Central 44-0, with the Huskies held to 194 net yards.
The injury-ravaged Bison have been dressing just two seniors in recent weeks - top receiver Isaiah Robinson and defensive back Mack Williams, the team's leading tackler.

I think the Mary Jane shoes are a good-looking shoe. My problem is that they are too wide. I have narrow feet and I thought that since they have a strap that they would work. Not so.

WINTERSTAR This year we have the Winterstar variety, which is an early berry with the traits of the Radiance and Festival strawberry.
Most importantly DO NOT SET THE PLANTS TOO DEEP! This is the most common error made in planting. Be sure the crown is above the ground. If soil or mulch covers the crown it will die. The plant may appear to lie down when first planted. After the plants are set, it is vital that they be thoroughly watered. Keep the leaves moist and the ground saturated for three to five days. After 7-10 days the plants should be rooted, then water as needed. As for insecticides, we recommend Spectricide and Malathion. For fungus, any rose fungicide works well.
Happy planting!

Loma Linda University Loma Linda University Medical Center Adventist Health System / Loma Linda IOLW Wednesday, August 30, 1989 COMA LINDA UNIV. LIBRAE' . crpl'l q r.~ PdPTM'N ™ _____ Volume 2, Number 15 LOiviA LiJMDA, CA 9^ 350 LLU Trustees vote to restructure University The Lx> ma Linda University Board of Trustees voted on Mon day, August 28, 1989, to restruc ture the University, in effect mak ing it a single university with a dual organizational structure. The 33- 3 decision to provide separate operating boards and chancellors for each campus, but retaining a single board of trustees and a single president, was made at a three- day board retreat held in Palm Springs. The new organizational structure will become effective on January 1, 1990. In the plan, each campus will receive separate accreditation from the Western Association of Schools and Colleges. In the past, there has been one accreditation for both campuses. Each campus will be supervis ed by separate operating boards, which report to the University president and a central board of trustees on major decisions and matters of policy. At the present time, both campuses are admin istered by one president and one board of trustees. Norman J. Woods, PhD, cur rently president of LLU, was unanimously elected president and chief executive officer in the new organizational plan. Dr. Woods is heading a search for the two chancellors, who will be responsible for the day- to- day operations on each campus. He will make his recommendations at the board's next meeting in October, to be held in Washing ton, D. C. At that meeting, the board will also refine details of the reorganization. Reacting to the board's deci sion, president Norman J. Woods, PhD, said: " This clear mandate and the statement of support indicated by the board's decisive vote provides the basis that the institution has needed to aggressively pursue the fulfillment of its mission and the resolution of current challenges." The Loma Linda University Board of Trustees meet at the Wyndham Palm Spring hotel on Monday, August 28. The trustees met in a three- day retreat session. During their meeting, they voted to restructure the University, in effect making a single university with a dual organizational structure. Fiftieth infant receives new heart at LLUMC T\\ enty- day- old Katherine Ix; hto on August 20 became the fiftieth infant under seven months of age to receive a heart trans plant at Lxmna LJnda Uni\ ersity Medical Center. Ninety percent of the 50 have survived. The three- hour surgery \ vas performed by Steven Gundry, MIX associate professor of surgery and pediatrics. Baby Katherine was born with hypoplastic left- heart syndrome, a lethal underdevelopment of the left side of the heart. She \ vas referred to Loma LJnda from Kngland, where her father is sta tioned with the United States Air Force. The infant heart transplant pro gram at Loma Linda began on November 20, 1985 when Leo nard Bailey, MD, chief of pediatric cardio- thoracic surgery, trans planted a one- ounce heart into Baby Moses, at four da\ s of age. At the time, the infant was the youngest person in the world to undergo heart transplantation. Baby Moses ( Kddie Anguiano) is now almost four years old. The infant heart transplant pro gram at L^ oma LJnda has led to an increasingly comprehensive understanding of the immune system in newborns. It has pav ed the way for new technology in the administering and monitor ing of immunosuppressive med icines ( which are designed to pre vent the rejection of transplanted organs), and eventually to minor improvements in surgical tech niques. Baby Katherine is the sec ond baby of a U. S. serviceman to be referred from England. Eight Canadian babies also have receiv ed new hearts in I^ oma LJnda. School of Nursing announces degree program for nurses ' ITie School of Nursing is pleas ed to announce a program for registered nurses to obtain their bachelor of science degrees while working. Full time students taking 14- 16 units per quarter may complete the program in four quarters if the general education requirements and prerequisites have been completed. Created for the registered nurse with an associate of science degree or diploma in nurs ing from a National League for Nursing accredited school, lower division credits of 105 units may be transferred in; nursing credits ( 30 units) from the basic nursing program are accepted as equivalent to the first clinical year of the LAA'SN nursing cur riculum. A bridge course has Please turn to page 8 Trustees' chairman Neal C. Wilson, who is also president of the General Conference of Seventh- day Adventists, said that " the study done by the Select Commission led the board to its clear conclusion and nearly unanimous decision that the University should remain as one institution with a separate administrative structure." He noted the solid contribution each campus makes, both to the University as a whole and to the world- wide work of the church. " On the Loma Linda campus, the health- related schools and Loma Linda University Medical Center are well known for a special sense of mission, not only in providing quality health care and health science education, but also na tional and international outreach programs. " Similarly, the board noted the contribution of the La Sierra cam pus to the overall strength of the University, including the interna tional extendion programs, that are added to a united Universi ty," Pastor Wilson said. One advantage of the new or ganizational structure that the board noted was that it allows both campuses to retain the Loma Linda University name, while at the same time giving each campus a high degree of self determination including separate accreditation, leadership, gover nance, budgeting, finance, and operating policies. It will also enable both campuses to develop specific but complementary missions. Other advantages include the utilization of the facilities already in place, and allows for continued sharing of the existing centraliz ed services. It does not jeopardize university- level programs and na tional and international contracts already in place. A select commission establish ed by the board at its June meet ing explored several organiza tional options, and presented each option to the board, to gether with its advantages and disadvantages. The commission was headed by Gordon Madgwick, PhD, ex ecutive secretary for the North American Division Board of Higher Education. He was assisted by Charles T. Smith, Jr., Please turn to page 7

Since these files are such high quality, they can be manipulated by color and size while still maintaining a clean file with little to no pixel blocking. Below is just a sample of the flares included in the package.
Easy to Use
In your editing software, simple import the flare files, drag and drop a file over the footage you want to affect, then set its opacity to "Add"…or you can try different opacity modes.
