Windows Phone may not have unseated Google's Android or bloodied the nose of Apple's iOS since it burst onto the mobile scene in 2010, but Nokia's latest release could mark a significant change in its currently dire fortunes. The Lumia 610 is the first Windows Phone for the cheaper end of the market -- a sector which has been ably exploited by legions of low-cost Android devices.
With weaker technical credentials but also a more reasonable price tag, the Lumia 610 aims to expand Windows Phone's reach to younger mobile buyers. Monthly contract prices start from around £15, while SIM-free handsets can be picked up for roughly £180.
Should I buy the Nokia Lumia 610?
If you've watched the development of Microsoft's Windows Phone platform with interest but haven't been brave -- or perhaps rich -- enough to take the plunge, then the Lumia 610 is going to be right up your street.
The cheapest Windows Phone device yet seen, the Lumia 610 doesn't offer the latest quad-core tech or a pin-sharp display, but instead provides a smooth and satisfying experience for a fraction of what its larger rivals cost. It also compares very favourably with the vast majority of similarly priced Android devices, boasting a superior user experience and better build quality.
Design and display
In keeping with its cheap and cheerful aspirations, the Lumia 610 showcases a modest handset design. The screen is surrounded by a plastic bezel, which is clad in a faux metallic coating. On the back, you'll find a soft-touch plastic battery panel that wraps around the lower section of the phone, forming a rather fetching chin.
Removing the cover reveals the battery, a micro-SIM slot and nothing else -- there's no microSD support on this device.
In terms of physical inputs, you'll find the volume, screen lock and camera keys on the right-hand side of the Lumia 610. The three standard Windows Phone commands -- Back, Home and Search -- are capacitive buttons below the 3.7-inch screen.
The rest of the phone is entirely bare, apart from the 3.5mm headphone socket and micro-USB port on the top edge. You certainly can't describe the Lumia 610 as fussy, and that's to its credit. I really like the minimalist yet surprisingly robust design. Despite its restrained and understated nature, this feels like a handset that's worth more than its retail price.
The phone's 3.7-inch LCD screen has a resolution of 480x800 pixels -- standard fare for Windows Phone devices. It utilises a capacitive touch panel, which means you don't need to apply pressure to register an input. This results in better accuracy and responsiveness, but it also means you can't use a traditional stylus, like the one supplied with the Samsung Galaxy Note.
The LCD screen itself is pretty average. Viewing angles are decent, but colours look a tad washed out, and blacks aren't as deep as they appear on phones with AMOLED screens. It's not the best display I've ever clapped eyes on, but to get the phone to market at such a low price, sacrifices are inevitable.
Processing power and internal storage
The Lumia 610 is part of Nokia and Microsoft's new approach to Windows Phone. While previous efforts were subject to rules and restrictions on minimum specifications, these have now been relaxed slightly in order to bring in more affordable handsets.
The Lumia therefore has an 800MHz single-core processor and just 256MB of RAM -- about half the memory seen in most currently available Windows Phone devices. This move has created some headaches for Nokia -- with downloads such as Angry Birds and Skype refusing to operate with the reduced RAM -- but updates are expected to rectify such issues.
Fragmentation -- an ever-diversifying range of devices with varied capabilities -- has been an issue for the Android platform. If Microsoft and Nokia want to compete in the same sectors as Google and its hardware partners, they're going to have deal with the kinds of problems this throws up too.
There's 8GB of internal memory included with the Lumia 610, but the aforementioned lack of a microSD card slot means you can't expand that figure. Thankfully, Microsoft's SkyDrive service offers 25GB of free cloud-based space for this device, which should help overcome your more pressing storage conundrums.
Windows Phone 7.5
The Lumia 610 ships with a version of Windows Phone 7.5 called Tango. It's slightly adapted to the lower specs on board, but as with Mango, the operating system revolves around Microsoft's innovative tile-based Metro user interface. The intention is to avoid hammering the user with endless torrents of information and instead focus on important activities.
Given the humble nature of the hardware, I fully expected the Lumia 610 to stumble and stutter -- after all, most low-cost Android phones are plagued with performance issues. Amazingly, Windows Phone runs almost identically on the Lumia 610 as it does on the pricier Lumia 800. Transitions are smooth, navigation is fast and there's no irksome delay when switching between applications. Microsoft has clearly done a fantastic job of optimising its operating system for lower-specced devices. Google's software engineers should probably give them a call.
Despite the encouraging performance, there are some caveats to consider. The aforementioned issues with apps not being compatible with the Lumia 610's decreased RAM is one I've already touched upon, but Nokia has also had to remove some features to make sure the OS plays nicely on its hardware. For example, HD video playback is no longer supported, which could dent the phone's appeal with mobile movie watchers.
It's also worth pointing out that Windows Phone Marketplace's application and game support is lagging behind iOS and Android by a considerable margin. Given the popularity of mobile downloads with young people, this could prove to be the Lumia 610's Achilles' heel -- even more so if developers refuse to optimise their apps to suit the phone's lower RAM quota.
Camera and video recording
There's no front-facing camera on the Lumia 610, so face-to-face video calls via Skype are off the menu. This is disappointing, but not entirely unexpected when you consider the low cost of the phone. What's more bothersome is the generally poor quality of the shots captured by the 5-megapixel rear-facing snapper.
I took photos in a wide range of conditions and the common theme throughout was a lack of accurate colour replication. Shots taken in bright environments look washed out and drab, while the Lumia 610's LED flash rarely grants enough light to fully illuminate your subject when shooting in dark locations.
The camera software is curiously lacking in creature comforts, with no face tracking or panoramic shooting mode. On the upside, the dedicated camera button enables you to fire up the camera quickly and lends a tactile experience to taking pictures.
To expect HD video capture on such a low-cost device is probably pushing it. True to form, the Lumia 610 lacks even 720p-resolution recording. Instead, you have to make do with a 640x480-pixel resolution, which is adequate if all you intend to do is exchange movies with friends on social networks like Facebook. It's less than ideal for committing special moments to digital memory.
Battery life
I had high hopes for the Lumia 610's stamina. After all, lower specifications should mean lower power demands and a longer-lasting battery. Thankfully, this has proven to be the case. While not quite in the same realms as some of Nokia's pre-smart phone devices, which could happily last an entire week between charges, the staying power of this budget blower is encouraging.
After a day of constant use, the Lumia 610 had enough juice in the tank to make it through the night. Following the next top-up, I adopted a more casual pattern of usage and found that the phone's power cell was still beating strongly at the end of another day. If you're super-fastidious in your mobile habits then you could eke out even more performance per charge.
I think that expanding Windows Phone into the budget arena is a very wise move from Nokia and Microsoft. Although tech boffins love to bleat about the high-end Samsung Galaxy S3 or HTC One X, there are lots of people looking for low-cost smart phones, as Android handset manufacturers like Huawei and ZTE have discovered.
The Lumia 610 is actually a cut above its budget Android rivals, despite the lowly tech spec. It offers a silky smooth experience that's often missing from cheap Google phones. The blissfully intuitive Windows Phone UI is sure to appeal to cost-conscious mobile newbies -- possibly even more so than the often befuddling Android operating system.
Update: A previous version of this review said the Lumia 610 runs Windows Phone 7.5 Mango, when in fact it runs Tango.

Sack Neil Redfearn now!
Neil Redfearn has proved himself an inept manager and has demoralised both the players and supporters of Northwich Victoria with his actions. His record in his first season speaks for itself: one draw and seven defeats, putting us bottom of the Blue Square Premier. We, the fans, call for his immediate removal to prevent him causing further damage to our beloved club and to allow sufficient time for a new manager to try to save us from relegation.

Talk to Me
Getting technical education right
By Bill Lydon, InTech, Chief Editor
I recently visited Lee College in Baytown, Tex. (www.lee.edu), which is a community college doing an amazing job of training automation and instrument professionals that are needed by industry. The core of the Lee College mission, "We build and deliver just in time, targeted, and customized training to meet industry's call for new hires and/or incumbents." The college works closely with industry to understand talent needs and builds programs that will meet those needs. It is getting results being ranked sixth in the nation for degrees awarded in science and technology with approximately 50% of Lee College students in technical programs. Lee has a more diverse student population than other community colleges of comparable size, including 46% White, 30% Hispanic, and 18% African-American. Graduates are getting good paying jobs because they are work ready.
First, I was impressed full-time faculty members are required to have a minimum of 15 years' direct industry experience. The experience of the staff is obvious as I talked with them and visited the student labs, where they use real-world industrial instruments configured in working processes. The labs are built to teach full process control with industrial field hardware, including instrumentation, drives, and pumps moving fluids. One instructor talked about how students invariably will ask "what if" questions, and he lets the students try it out in the lab and see the validity or their idea or problems created. He noted when students see the consequences of doing things wrong working in the safe environment of the lab they are likely to remember the lesson.
Lee College has several professional partnerships and affiliations to stay engaged in the community to be sure they are doing the right things. Partners include the International Society of Automation (ISA), National Science Foundation, Department of Labor, and Fieldbus Foundation. It is worth noting they have 96 student members in the school's ISA chapter, putting them in the top five worldwide. (The top two were from China.) Last year, Lee College held an event, "Automation Day" in conjunction with the Automation Federation, with more than 650 high-school students from several local school districts introducing students and teachers to automation and the different fields of study and jobs available.
Chuck Carter, center director, Lee College Center for Digital and Fieldbus Technological Education, provided his thoughts on programs at the college. Carter expressed his belief in the value of hands-on experience, and he championed the building of a full-scale processing facility at the college that has been running since 1998. The college is working to cultivate more internship programs with companies since they have been successful for the students and participating companies.
Carter said perspective students can relate to a number of potential careers, such as firefighter, police, pilot, and auto mechanic, since these bring to mind a visual image, but they have no idea that jobs exist in the automation and control field. The college has been doing outreach to inform the community about opportunities in the field.
Carter said what I believe illustrates the overall attitude at Lee College, "We tell everybody when they ask what they need to come in and take the program to be successful. Number one, you need the want to; if you've got the want to, by golly gee, we have the resources to work with you."
Carter mentioned they are always looking for good equipment to give students hands-on training. If you can help, contact him at firstname.lastname@example.com.
The industry needs more cooperation between users and technical schools. Think about how you can help.

With decades of experience skimming the shores of Lake Erie, U.S. Coast Guard–licensed Captain Sib Randolph has had ample time to hone in on the best spots to nab walleye, bass, and perch. Though he relies on years of successful fishing charters to guide his routes, it doesn't hurt that his 27-foot SportCraft fishing boat is equipped with fish-finding and navigational equipment. In addition to advice on the likelihood of a fish's ability to grant wishes, Captain Randolph supplies fishermen with free bait and ice.
Customers at West River Kayak & Canoe take their pick from a fleet of kayaks, canoes, and standup paddleboards to cruise down the 27-mile Vermilion-Lorain Water Trail, a Class I–II waterway. Turtles, beavers, and deer make their homes along the banks and occasionally dart out to greet travelers as shale cliffs rear up in the distance. The shop's staff ensures that even boating newbies can wend their way through the picturesque scenery by offering introductory tutorials before each rental to impart the basics of paddling, from how to turn to how to rub two paddles together to make a fire for roasting hot dogs.
Under the choppy surface of Ohio's quarries and waterways, the Columbus Scuba team guides students into the world of underwater exploration with specialized training courses. In order to prepare students for diving situations and encounters with bullies in schools of minnows, the team also holds classroom sessions, including PADI open-water certification. In addition to training students, Columbus Scuba dedicates itself to the diving community by operating the Mid-Ohio Divers club, through which they organize barbecues, camping trips, and group dives in far-off reefs and caves.
From an elegant perch in the clubhouse, diners at New Albany Links Restaurant and Grill sup on a menu of classic Italian entrees as they survey the adrenaline-pumping action on the course's 18th green. Seafood enthusiasts can cast a wide net over multiple courses starting with flaky, pan-seared crab cakes with aioli ($7.99), followed by a bowl brimming with angel-hair pasta, fresh basil, shrimp seared in extra-virgin olive oil, and morally upstanding sun-dried tomatoes ($7.99–$14.99). A twice-baked lasagna offers up layers of meat sauce, ricotta, provolone, and romano cheese for toothsome excavation ($7.99–$11.99), and multi-taskers will enjoy the way the chicken marsala mingles pan-seared chicken breast, sautéed mushrooms, and marsala wine into one decadent dish ($7.49–$12.99).

Posted 14 March 2013 - 10:27 PM
Oh. Well, nothing like that I know of. Sears can provide interactive drawings for appliances and such because they own the copyrights.
But for HVAC, just getting info from the manufacturers is like pulling teeth. They want "dealers only". I do not foresee any possibility of a unified info-sharing resource for residential heating and cooling.

BINGHAMTON, N.Y. -- The City of Binghamton continues to explore new options to cut down on crime. An informational meeting was held Wednesday, looking at how the city can improve police presence in the community.
City Council members Bill Berg and Chris Papastrat say they've received calls from constituents about safety in their districts. Due to budget constraints, there is no money to beef up patrols right now. Lawmakers are exploring a number of options to help curb crime, including working more closely with auxiliary police, retired police officers and even citizen patrols.
"Crime is not what we want to bring into the city. We're looking at economic development, bringing in jobs and if the crime rate for the city is that high, we're not going to attract the people we want to," Berg said.
Police Chief Joe Zikuski says he is working with the council on improving police work. His biggest concern is making sure the options on the table are legally viable.

SALT LAKE CITY — Dead Boston Marathon bombing suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev boxed in a national Golden Gloves tournament in Utah in 2009.
Tsarnaev, 26, lost his one and only fight in the 201-pound weight class in a decision to Lamar Fenner of Chicago. The loss eliminated him from the weeklong tournament held at the Salt Palace Convention Center.
Troy Fullmer, a longtime Utah boxing official, helped put on the event but said with 300 boxers in town, he doesn't remember Tsarnaev.
Like all boxers who qualify for the national championships, Tsarnaev would have had to win very competitive state and regional tournaments to represent the New England area.
"You have to be really dedicated and be a really good boxer," Fullmer said.
"These kids are always good, hard-working kids. They come from a different background. Boxing is a colorful sport."
Larry Fullmer, a member of the Rocky Mountain Golden Gloves board of directors, said he understands Tsarnaev might have been training to return to the national tournament, which Salt Lake City will host again next month.
But a February story in the Lowell, Mass., Sun about the New England Golden Gloves championships does not list Tsarnaev among the boxers competing for a spot on the team.
Tsarnaev came from a Russian region near Chechnya, which has been plagued by an Islamic insurgency that has carried out deadly bombings. He grew up in Grozny, the capital city of the Chechen Republic, much of which was destroyed during the Russia-Chechen conflict. His family left seeking a better life and he has lived near Boston for about a decade.
Larry Fullmer said young boxers often come from at-risk, low-income homes and violent backgrounds.
"Boxing has kind of channeled that, taught them discipline. That's what the coaches dedicate their lives to do is helping these kids change their lives. This is like it backfired in this particular situation. You just wonder what happened to a kid to make him change like that," he said of Tsarnaev.
The Lowell Sun covered Tsarnaev's fight in Salt Lake City:
"In Team New England's last bout of the night, Tamerlan Tsarnaev dropped a controversial decision to Lamar Fenner of Chicago in the 201-pound division. After flooring Fenner with a huge punch that required an eight count, it seemed that Tsarnaev was in control of the whole fight. Yet somehow the judges saw it differently and awarded Fenner the decision, a decision that drew boos from the crowd."
Fenner went on to lose in the finals.
Tsarnaev apparently was the subject of a photo essay, "Will Box for Passport," taken before he competed in Salt Lake City. In it he is quoted as saying, "I don't have a single American friend, I don't understand them."
John Curran, of Watertown, Mass., Tsarnaev's coach at the nationals in Salt Lake City, recalled that Tsarnaev wasn't felling well one particular morning.
"So I went to his room and knocked on the door," Curran told the Sun on Friday. "I walked into the room and he was doing that Muslim thing, he was praying. There was a little carpet. I didn't know he was a Muslim. I was surprised. I had never seen anything like that."
But Curran would not connect what he saw that May 2009 day in Salt Lake City to this week's events.
"If you had asked me two days before this happened what kind of person he was, I would say terrific, talented, respectful," Curran told the Sun while under lockdown in Watertown. "Suffice to say, I am shocked beyond belief today."

I am having difficulty sharing my garden with nature. I have a ton of ants running around outdoors, and lots of wasps and hornets flying about near my front carport garden. I found these ground nests, and I'm really not sure which pest is responsible. I did see something fly into one of the holes twice, and I'm thinking it's more of a hornet/wasp thing. But then, since I think hornets/wasps feed on ants, could they be ant nests?
Whoa is me! I have had an exterminator around twice this year for both. I am thinking for these ground nests I'll get DH to spray at night, taking proper precaution in the event the nest belongs to the stinging insects.
I hate using pesticides, but the thought of somebody getting stung is disturbing. Also, as I have had carpenter ants show up in the house now and then, I get sspraying done as needed OUTDOORS, not indoors........and I don't want a huge problem that results in the need to spray indoors as I am uncomfortable about that.

Dawn I just thought I'd give you a heads up. tonight I noticed Ebony sniffing my garage door (wood) and when I looked closer, there they were, carpenter ants on the move. there weren't as many as I had at the last house, maybe a couple dozen flyers and a hundred or so teenytiny crawlers. Apparently they had decided the door would be okay and were also crawling up the side of my stucco garage up to the wooden roof. Luckily I had a can of spray to get them with.
Anyway, just thought I would warn you in case yours are also moving around now too.
Yes fingers crossed. There sure are times when you have to take chemical or other approaches you might rather not use when it comes to pests and the damage they can do. All you can hope is they don't have long term effects on the humans but take care of the pests.
Yes, you probably will have a lot of replacing to do when you do want to paint. My veranda was a smaller example but it is an example. From simple cosmetic job to kill an hour or two to completely rebuilding and all that entailed.
Oh gee, if those ants are getting into your roof I think I'd be reallllllly worried. Once those creeps are eating your wood you could be in for some very big repairs not to mention danger if they hit a support. You might want to get some advice from your municipality or someone (who isn't selling treatments) to see how far you have to go with this as it sounds like you have some determined ants there.
I had them on my front varanda at the last house. I never really thought much about them or even noticed them until I wanted to paint the railing. When I was scraping the old paint it became apparent the wood underneath was actually gone in places so I used wood filler. Next day, sawdust in places as the ants started a new tunnel. They really were fast. I ended up having to replace all that wood before painting (typical DIY job gone bigger than expected). I thought I'd taken care of it until I saw those hoards I mentioned coming out from under the step not long after. I'm glad I sold that house because there was a lot of wood on that house and I'm just glad I don't have to deal with it anymore.
I did some surfing on the net and it seems both skunks and raccons will dig up at night yellow jacket nests to get to the sweet combs. I guess they are immune to stings.
I have posted a pic of a dug up comb.
I also found this info>
"Since the nest was underground, we located it finally and then went at night and put a big piece of plastic over it, securing it around the edges with earth so they couldn't escape. Before securing the plastic, we poured a little gasoline down each hole.. The gas fumes did the trick. We left the plastic on for a week." The yellow jackets were gone.
Here in BC (coast and interior) the big carpenter ant hatch occurs without fail during the first hot spell in May. I worked in a fishing/outdoor store when I was younger, and we would sell carpenter ant tied flies by the hundreds over the course of a few days during the hatch!
Be careful. I didn't realize how bad yellow jackets were until a paramedic acquaintance brought his son over to teach him how to mow a lawn (which helped me a lot at the time). Anyway he spotted a yellow jacket nest in the garden of the house next door (about 10' away) and wouldn't let the kid near it. he said they are totally unpredictable and just walking by a nest can cause a swarm. I think he said they take at least one person a day to emerg from being swarmed by them.
So serious little problem if they decide to be. Personally I had walked by that nest at least once a day (actually I had never noticed it) but he said the problem is you never know when they will go off on you.
I think they make a spray you can use from several feet away and I wouldn't use it during the day as they are probably too active then.
As for carpenter ants, the ones we have here can be caught once a year if you are lucky with your timing. They actually can be caught looking for a new 'hive' when they split and all of a sudden thousands of them just emerge. I caught them at my last house just by accident (I was out mowing and noticed the activity). A neighbour also caught hers while out watering one day. I think it's normally mid/late aug but you may check with your local city types who monitor parks and such as they tend to know the cycles of their local insects. It's quite amazing as zillions of them just seem to come out one after the other, dozens at a time, walking and flying and they all head off together like some mass army.
The nice part is you can catch so many (or step on them which is what I did and boy were my feet tired after) as well as find the main entrance to the main hive/nest so you know where to shoot the poison.
if it is yellow jackets they eat other bugs and you will also see them hovering around garbage cans around your home and in public places., so you may want to spray your cans with something too if they are in the area of all the bugs. Ah yes skunks and raccoons visit here quite regularly. The dogs know as they yap like crazy inside and with a flashlight I see them through the windows. :mad:
Here are a few pics nest holes and the insect.
They are a few dusts you can by that you spray down the hole at night. You may also try mixing a liquid bug killer with some water and pour it in the holes.
Usually there area few entrance/exit holes with the nest underneth the earth.
Yellow jackets often nest underground.
That looks kind of like the hole I saw a bee digging in my walkway. You say you've only seen something flying in once or twice - could be that it's a type of miner bee. They are solitary (no queen/hive), and they dig holes to lay up to 8 larvae. Once the larvae hatch & pupate or whatever it is they do (need to brush up on my high school biology obviously!) they leave. Personally I'd leave it bee :D but if you really can't handle having it there, a dose of Raid ought to take care of it.
Where's Pearl_girl?. She always knows these gardening type things. We have lots of ants around here but no holes that are that big. You're right to take an aggressive approach before someone gets a bad bite.

Many international jurisdictions are currently debating legislation that would ban full-face scarves and the burqa. UK Immigration Minister Damian Green [official profile] indicated Sunday that Britain's coalition government would not seek or support a British law banning [JURIST report] the wearing of the Islamic burqa [JURIST news archive] or other face coverings in public. Last Tuesday the French National Assembly [official website, in French] voted [JURIST report] to give police the authority to require women wearing the veils to show their face, and, if they refuse, they could be forced to attend citizenship classes or be charged a USD $185 fine. The proposed legislation would also make it a crime to force a woman to cover her face, with a penalty of one year in prison and a fine of USD $18,555. Similar legislation is also being considered in Belgium, where, in April, the Belgian House of Representatives voted to approve [JURIST report] a bill that would ban the burqa and other full-face veils in public.
The generally negative report comes despite continued efforts to streamline and oversee intelligence gathering and coordinate government agencies. In July 2008, former president George W. Bush [official profile] issued an executive order [JURIST report] giving the DNI the authority to coordinate information sharing between different US and foreign intelligence services and to make funding decisions for the various US agencies. Bush signed the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004 into law in December 2004, implementing a series of intelligence reforms recommended by the 9/11 Commission [official website] and authorizing the broadest re-working of the US intelligence structure since President Harry Truman signed the National Security Act of 1947.
AI's report was released one week after Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir [case materials; JURIST news archive] was charged by the International Criminal Court (ICC) [official website] with three counts of genocide [warrant, PDF; JURIST report] in relation to the Darfur conflict [BBC backgrounder]. The charges included "genocide by killing, genocide by causing serious bodily or mental harm and genocide by deliberately inflicting on each target group conditions of life calculated to bring about the group's physical destruction." They were issued after the Appeals Chamber reversed a prior decision [JURIST report] by the lower chamber denying the prosecutor's request for genocide charges. ICC prosecutors appealed the decision [JURIST report] not to charge al-Bashir with genocide in July 2009. Bashir has eluded arrest since the issuance of the first warrant. The warrant has been controversial, with Egypt, Sudan, the African Union and others calling for the proceedings against Bashir to be delayed, and African Union leaders agreeing [JURIST reports] not to cooperate with the warrant.
Last month, Florida Governor Charlie Crist [official website] vetoed [veto letter text, PDF; JURIST report] a bill [HB 1143 materials] that also would have required women seeking an abortion to undergo an ultrasound or listen to a detailed description of the fetus before the procedure would be performed. Crist said that "personal views should not result in laws that unwisely expand the role of government and coerce people to obtain medical tests or procedures that are not medically necessary. In this case, such action would violate a woman's right to privacy." In May, Oklahoma lawmakers approved a bill [JURIST report] requiring women seeking an abortion to complete a questionnaire containing information on marital status, reason for seeking the abortion and whether the pregnancy is the result of rape or incest. In April, the Oklahoma Senate voted to override a veto [JURIST report] of two anti-abortion bills, resulting in the bills immediately becoming law. The first bill [HB 2526 text, RTF] prevents "wrongful life" lawsuits in which parents seek damages for a child born with a birth defect because the mother was unable to obtain an abortion. The second bill is the one blocked by the court Monday.
The US-Swiss agreement was before the Swiss parliament due to a court ruling in January, when the Federal Administrative Court ruled [JURIST report] that an American taxpayer's financial information at UBS may not be disclosed to the IRS pursuant to an August 2009 agreement [JURIST report]. Also in January, the Federal Administrative Court ruled [JURIST report] that the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority [official website, in German] violated the law in February 2009 when it ordered UBS to disclose information to the US on more than 250 of the bank's clients without the authority to do so. In September, the US and Switzerland signed a treaty [JURIST report] that would increase the amount of information shared between the two nations on would-be tax evaders. The agreement came one month after a Swiss banker and lawyer were indicted in US federal court [JURIST report] for helping clients hide assets. In March 2009, the Swiss announced their intention to adopt a more stringent definition [JURIST report] of tax evasion and to work with other countries to investigate such claims.
Hicks' 2001-06 detention was as a belligerent captured in war, not for a crime. This was and remains lawful under the Geneva Conventions - as was confirmed by the US Supreme Court in the June 2006 Hamdan ruling - and is not disputed by any serious international lawyer. ... [W]hether Hicks' later separate criminal trial, conviction and sentence by US Military Commission was justified in international law or not remains understandably controversial. But it does not change the factual and moral situations that if Hicks was to commit the same acts today as he has freely admitted doing in 2000-01 he would commit an offence against Australian law. Even ignoring Hicks' own admissions and boasts about voluntarily joining terrorist training camps, in moral terms [Hicks should] never have his name cleared of any terrorism links.
Hicks was released from prison in December 2007 after being transferred from Guantanamo to Australia [JURIST reports] in May of that year to serve the remainder of his sentence at a maximum security prison near his hometown of Adelaide, South Australia. He was later made subject to a control order which was lifted [JURIST reports] in December 2008.
Federal authorities have indicated that the workload would continue to grow [AP report] if Arizona's new immigration enforcement law [SB 1070 materials; JURIST news archive] is implemented. The Arizona law criminalizes illegal immigration and requires police officers to question an individual's immigration status if the officer has a "reasonable suspicion" to believe an individual is in the country illegally. The constitutionality of the law has been widely disputed, and the legislation is now facing several lawsuits [JURIST report]. Earlier this month, US President Barack Obama called for comprehensive immigration reform [statement; JURIST report], noting the role of immigrants throughout US history and indicating that immigrants must continue to play a role as the country grows and develops. He acknowledged the continuing difficulty with securing the border but cited efforts made by the administration to improve enforcement of current laws, including increased numbers of enforcement agents.
Russia faces ongoing criticism from the international community regarding its human rights record. In October, the UN Human Rights Committee [official website] issued a report [text; JURIST report] criticizing Russia's record on human rights and calling on the country to take extensive legal reform in order to guarantee its citizens rights such as fair trials and freedoms of speech and of the press. Last June, the Council of Europe (COE) [official website] urged substantial reforms [JURIST report] to correct systemic problems in the Russian legal system, including the prevalence of political prosecutions and a lack of judicial independence. Medvedev has acknowledged the need for judicial reform [JURIST report], saying that transparent courts would restore faith in the justice system and prevent people from seeking redress in the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) [official website].
The ABA has long opposed initiatives such as S.B. 1070 that, by their plain language, can only be implemented by usurping the federal government's exclusive authority to make immigration law and set immigration policy. While the ABA believes ... that the federal immigration system must be reformed, and while the ABA appreciates Arizona's desire to tackle the problems faced by that state, the ABA also urges that our Constitution does not allow for unilateral state action in the formulation of immigration law. Immigration matters are and must remain federal, and states should not be permitted to enforce immigration law independently of specific federal authorization; the practical result of the contrary would be the undermining of uniformity in immigration law and immigration law enforcement.
Earlier this month, the ABA filed their first brief in support of a class-action lawsuit led by the ACLU, arguing that the law will increase the use of racial profiling, resulting in unlawful and unreasonable detentions and increase the burden on the state's indigent defense system. The ABA usually waits until a case reaches the appellate level to file an amicus curiae brief, but ABA President Carolyn Lamm [professional profile] said this case requires "extraordinary action." The ACLU filed the class action lawsuit [JURIST report] in May. Two week ago, the US Department of Justice (DOJ) [official website] filed suit seeking to permanently enjoin [JURIST report] the law from taking effect, arguing that the Constitution and federal law "do not permit the development of a patchwork of state and local immigration policies throughout the country," and calling it counterproductive to national immigration policy. The suit was filed against the State of Arizona and Governor Jan Brewer (R) [official website], who signed the legislation into law [JURIST report] by in April.
The Israeli Knesset [official website, in Hebrew] approved the amnesty law in January. The amnesty measure, which passed by a vote of 51-9 [Haaretz report], does not extend immunity to people who committed acts that endangered human life, but rather mainly affects approximately 400 teenagers who were charged with committing minor criminal infractions. This is the third general amnesty measure issued by Israel. The first two were issued after the Arab-Israeli conflicts of 1948 and 1967 [NPR backgrounders].
Camp Cropper, the last US-run detention facility in Iraq, and the 1,600 prisoners held there were transferred to the Iraqi government [BBC report] on Thursday. In March, the US military transferred Camp Taji prison [JURIST report] to Iraqi authorities. The US began to scale back its Iraq detention facilities in September when Camp Bucca [JURIST news archive] in southern Iraq was closed [JURIST report] pursuant to the Status of Forces Agreement [text, PDF]. According to the agreement, all US troops must be withdrawn from Iraq by the end of 2011, and the US must release all prisoners or transfer them to the control of Iraqi authorities. The Iraqi government must have arrest warrants or detention orders to accept transferred prisoners into Iraqi facilities, otherwise risking release. A fourth US-run prison, Abu Ghraib [JURIST news archive], was transferred back to Iraqi control [JURIST report] in 2006. The Iraqi government has recently faced criticism for its treatment of prisoners from Human Rights Watch (HRW) [advocacy website]. In April, the rights group claimed that Iraqi detainees were repeatedly tortured [JURIST report] in a secret prison in Baghdad.
German Interior Minister Thomas de Maiziere [official website, in German] announced earlier this month that Germany would accept two detainees from Guantanamo. The Obama administration had originally asked Germany to take up to 10 detainees [JURIST report] from the facility. De Maiziere emphasized at the time that Germany had informed the US it would not consider any further requests [DW report] to accept detainees. There are currently 181 detainees remaining at the Guantanamo facility. The Obama administration continues its push to close the Guantanamo Bay facility, despite missing its self-imposed one-year deadline [JURIST report] in January.
Abortion remains a controversial issue at both the state and federal levels. Last week, a judge for the US District Court for the District of Nebraska [official website] issued a preliminary injunction [order, PDF; JURIST report] preventing a new Nebraska abortion law [LB 594 materials] from being enforced. The law would require physicians to evaluate the mental health of the woman seeking the abortion and to inform the patient of all risk factors and complications [LB 594 text] statistically associated with the procedure. Last month, Florida Governor Charlie Crist [official website] vetoed a bill [JURIST report] that would have required women seeking an abortion to undergo an ultrasound or listen to a detailed description of the fetus before the procedure would be performed. In May, Oklahoma lawmakers approved a bill [JURIST report] requiring women seeking an abortion to complete a questionnaire containing information on marital status, reason for seeking the abortion and whether the pregnancy is the result of rape or incest. In April, the Nebraska legislature approved a bill prohibiting abortions at or past 20 weeks [JURIST report] on the theory that a fetus can allegedly feel pain following that point. Advocacy groups have criticized the laws and indicated they will challenge them in court.

Find out which alpine ski resorts attract the most UK skiers and what it is that gives them the edge.
Here are the top five resorts for UK skiers in the big four: France, Austria, Italy and Switzerland. Results were compiled over five years and published in the Snowsports Analysis 2012 (in alphabetical order).
The UK's favourite ski resorts:
France: La Plagne, Les Arcs, Meribel, Tignes, Val d'Isere
Austria: Kaprun/Zell am See, Kitzbuehel, Mayrhofen, Obergurgl, St. Anton
Italy: Cervinia, Courmayeur, Sauze d'Oulx, Selva Gardena, Sestriere
Switzerland: Davos-Klosters, Saas Fee, Verbier, Wengen, Zermatt
A lot of big names make the list, so too do a lot of big ski areas: Paradiski, 3 Valleys, Espace Killy, Ski Arlberg, Milky Way and 4 Valleys. Marion Telsnig from Crystal Ski says, "Lift-linked ski areas are what our customers really like – lots and lots of available pistes."
La Plagne and Les Arcs in the Paradiski area both make it into the UK's top five French resorts. Telsnig says, "This ski area has become the favourite for British skiers as they find all they want in these resorts."
The extensive, varied pistes of the 425km ski area are largely above 2,000 metres and benefit from snowsure conditions. Other highlights include easy-to-reach, powder-packed off-piste and plenty of ski-in/ski-out accommodation. La Plagne is the livelier of the two, offering an enormous choice of restaurants and bars catering to the young crowd.
Telsnig says, "Another advantage is that we offer direct flights from 13 UK airports to Chambery making the journey to and from resort shorter and more convenient."
UK skier Tim Baker says, "The high-altitude skiing and great conditions in the Paradiski area are hard to beat, especially on a clear day, and if the weather takes a turn you just head down to the lower, wooded runs which are also fun to explore."
3 Valleys
Meribel is slap-bang in the centre of the 600km 3 Valleys. Of the eight resorts that make up this vast ski area, Meribel is the only one to make it into the UK's top five French resorts, beating neighbouring Courchevel and Val Thorens.
Meribel's local slopes are plenty big enough on their own (150km) with a highly efficient lift system to boot. It is a particular favourite with British snowboarders for its good, varied terrain, snowparks and number of tree runs.
The resort is also one of the more tastefully designed purpose-built French resorts and features high-quality accommodation, gourmet restaurants and an excellent après-ski atmosphere with regular events such as live bands and shows.
Espace Killy
Tignes and Val d'Isere together make up the 300km Espace Killy ski area and it's no surprise to see them both on the UK's favourites list. The high-altitude slopes make the area one of the best alpine bets for snowsure skiing and ski-in/ski-out accommodation.
The extensive, varied terrain has some of the best expert skiing around and plenty of lift-served off-piste. Val d'Isere, the prettier of the two, offers a wider choice of après-ski, but do keep an eye on the prices – it is one of the most expensive resorts in France.
UK skier Robin Gue says, "Val d'Isere is hard to fault for my family. We've been coming here for five winters now and we've always had excellent snow. Last year my wife and I took off-piste lessons which was a whole new experience and one we'll definitely be repeating this year."
Ski Arlberg
St. Anton in Ski Arlberg is one of the UK's top five Austrian resorts. St. Anton is lift-linked with St. Christoph and Stuben, but the Arlberg Pass also covers you for skiing in Lech, Zuers and Oberlech for a combined 260km. The varied terrain, and particularly good off-piste, make it a big hit with experts and adventurous intermediates.
Fresh powder here is common, particularly in spring. St. Anton gets more snow than a lot of resorts the same height as weather systems tend to move in from the west, dumping straight on the Arlberg.
The car-free centre offers a lively après-ski scene – so lively in fact they've just introduced a 'no drinking in ski gear' policy after 8pm to try to discourage drunken behaviour.
Milky Way
Sauze d'Oulx and Sestriere, both in the UK's top five Italian resorts, belong to the 400km lift-linked Milky Way ski area which straddles the Italian-French border. The uncrowded slopes, with a mix of tree-lined and open runs, make it ideal for intermediate skiers and there's good-value accommodation close to the slopes.
Sauze d'Oulx made a name for itself as the "Benidorm of The Alps" for its boisterous nightlife, and you'll probably hear more English voices here than Italian, having said this it's still easy enough to find a quiet family-run restaurant within the pretty cobbled streets of the old centre. The Milky Way resorts are also easy to reach, the closest (Sauze) being just 90km from Turin Airport (a 60-minute drive).
UK Skier Hannah Price says, "We like the small-town friendliness of the Milky Way villages, we're on first-name terms with a lot of locals, but at the same time it offers a huge and varied terrain."
4 Valleys
Verbier, in the UK's Swiss top five, is part of the 410km 4 Valleys ski area. The local ski area is best known for its serious off-piste and each year hosts the finals of the Freeride World Tour. Highlights include the Tortin snowbowl with its huge bumps, the extreme couloirs below Les Attelas, the steep skiing around Mont Gele, and the legendary Col de Gentianes run.
Verbier sits at one end of the extensive 410km 4 Vallees ski area, linking it to Nendaz, Veysonnaz, Thyon and other resorts. The local gondolas and chairs are good, but the wider ski area can seem a little sprawling at times and there are a few tedious links.
The sizeable village gets plenty of sun and the lively, varied nightlife is hard to beat, although watch the high prices in bars and restaurants.
The Snowsports Analysis 2012 also listed these top five resorts with UK skiers in the USA and Canada:
USA: Aspen, Breckenridge, Heavenly, Jackson Hole, Vail
Canada: Banff/Lake Louise/Sunshine, Big White, Fernie, Tremblant, Whistler
Across the whole of North America, Whistler consistently ranks as number one for UK skiers. Telsnig says, "The resort gets huge snowfalls every season and everything here is built for convenience, from its modern lift system with new Peak 2 Peak gondola to its incredibly wide choice of restaurants on and off the mountain. Vancouver as a city add-on option is also very popular with our customers."

Giovanna Plowman (Photo: Twitter)A video posted by West Seneca, N.Y. teen Giovanna Plowman in which she seems to, um, remove and then snack on her own tampon has sparked a wave of disgust, disbelief, and even outrage online. And the desperate-for-attention high school freshman seems intent on making it her claim to fame.
Related: Why Do People Love Honey Boo Boo?
"I just want to say, I'm not pulling any tricks," she says softly in the (very NSFW) video, which seems to have been shot in her bathroom. "This is obviously going to be disgusting."
It is.
She posted the video online last week, and both Facebook and YouTube quickly took it down for violating their terms of service -- but not before it was mirrored elsewhere and thousands of people watched it.
It may be the grossest stunt she's pulled in public, but her Facebook page -- which currently has 198,000 followers -- shows that she's been going for shock value for a while. Her profile photo is of her with one hand on her hip and her boobs pushed up to her neck; the cover photo is of a woman's waxed bikini line wearing nothing but a little strip of tape that says "Caution Wet." Suggestive photos, self-conscious videos, and teasing, sexually explicit "will I or won't I" status updates abound. Even the infamous tampon video features lots of leaning over in a low-cut shirt and push-up bra.
Honey. Please. Just. Stop. Now.
"Have you ever watched jackass? Fear factor? Jersey shore? I know you all have," she tells her critics via Facebook. "Its okay for them to get famous from eating and doing such stupid stuff or being sluts and partying hard. But i eat a tampon and get so much hate? It makes no sense."
Predictably, the tampon stunt has brought on the bullying, but Plowman doesn't seem to mind. It's all part of her grand plan. (No word on what her parents think about all this.)
"what i did was stupid...but SO WHAT?!" she tweeted on Tuesday. "i'm famous for that, ill be on ellen, ill get verified, i'm getting money to show up at some parties!!"
We find it difficult to believe that anyone would pay a 15 year old to party, but people who say otherwise are haters, she says.
"Just because im a girl and ate something gross and got famous you hate on me?" she lashed out on Facebook. "Im a real nice girl. Dont start drama and i have only ever had one boyfriend? Please tell me how im a slut. Smh idgaf about you haters ill shine on with or with out you!"
Plowman bears a striking resemblance to Snooki and we'll admit that we've seen grosser stunts on MTV's "Jackass" -- and possibly more pitiful pleas for attention from former "Teen Mom" stars -- but Steve O and his crew of idiots are grown men doing stupid (and dangerous) things for a lot of money. Plowman is a teenage girl who is degrading herself for free. There's a difference.
After watching the video, we have to admit that we think it's a hoax. (One Shine editor points out that the tampon looks like it's been dunked in Kool-Aid; online listings for "Plowman" in West Seneca didn't immediately turn up her parents). But there are plenty of people who think it's for real -- and plenty more who are giving Plowman the attention she wants (including us, we'll admit.) Several fake Facebook pages and Twitter accounts have cropped up, each quickly gaining thousands of followers. (Plowman is combating them by plugging her own accounts.) She's even caught the eye of gross-clip-show host/not-funny comedian Daniel Tosh from "Tosh 2.0."
Note to Plowman: No teenage girl should aspire to be on "Tosh 2.0"
"Why can't people just admit I'm famous," she gripes on Twitter.
That's because there's a huge difference between fame and notoriety. Just ask Lindsay Lohan.

Skin cancer occurs when errors (mutations) occur in the DNA of skin cells. The mutations cause the cells to grow out of control and form a mass of cancer cells.
Skin cancer begins in your skin's top layer — the epidermis. The epidermis is a thin layer that provides a protective cover of skin cells that your body continually sheds. The epidermis contains three main types of cells:
Where your skin cancer begins determines its type and your treatment options.
Much of the damage to DNA in skin cells results from ultraviolet (UV) radiation found in sunlight and in the lights used in tanning beds. But sun exposure doesn't explain skin cancers that develop on skin not ordinarily exposed to sunlight. This indicates that other factors may contribute to your risk of skin cancer, such as being exposed to toxic substances or having a condition that weakens your immune system.

CD/LP/Track Review
Nik Bartsch's Ronin: Live (2012)
Ronin's music has been called Zen Funk, ritual groove music, and mechanistic minimalism. Live proves the group is just as tight onstage as it is in the studio. This is a band that gets into a groove and won't let go, setting upwith extended repetition of three, four or five-note riffs and layered rhythmshuge tension, released (finally) by explosive, rock energy bursts that settle back into new momentums, new repeated motifs, new layers.
The collective band sound has a sharp edge Bärtsch's piano often has a metallic sheen. Bassist Bjørn Meyer locks hard into sometimes loping, sometimes hyper-tight runs. And Sha , the band's reedmanwho, in a more standard ensemble might be the lead melodic voicesets up deep low moans on the contrabass clarinet that sound like the atomic power source of a starship approaching a leap across interstellar space, while drummer Kasper Rast and percussionist Andi Pupato drive the sub-nuclear energy sources serving the ship's mechanical components.
Not that there aren't moment's a tranquility and introspection. "Modul 45" features moments of pianistic delicacy, interspersed with percussive bombast behind the anguished wailing of Sha's alto saxophone, capped off with gathering, end-of-the-world seismic drum rumble.
"Modul 35," heard originally on Stoa, is one of the group's most distinctive tunes. Opening here with the same crisp, lonely, percussive tinkling, it then surges with a burst of collective energy, riding the rubbery bounce and pop of Meyer's powerhouse bass, and then shifting into what sounds like an immersion into a dark, dystopian urban world full of danger and dread, before the band gels back into a rhythmic momentum.
Live was recorded around the world, in Tokyo, Amsterdam, Wien, Lorrach, Liepzig, Mannheim, Gateshead and Salzau, between 2009 and 2011. Different venues, the same tight precision. "Modul 41_17" opens the recording, with a lively bass solo. It's fitting intro, because Meyer is moving on, handing Ronin's bass chair to relative newcomer Thomy Jordi , who is featured on the last tune of set, "Modul 55." There is a sense of calmness, an almost pastoral serenity to the sound on this single offering, as Nik Bärtsch's Ronin transitions from a ten-year Meyer tenure, to bring in the component of a fresh perspective.
Track Listing: CD1:Modul 41_17; Modul 35; Modul 42; Modul 17; Modul 22. CD2: Modul 45; Modul 48; Modul 47; Modul 55.

Thread: Upcoming Silverado SS?
Upcoming Silverado SS?
Has anyone heard of GM producing a new Silverado SS? I've seen the blue 2 door concept, as well as the ZR2. But I'm asking about an SS for actual production.
05-01-2011, 01:45 PM #2not sure about this one, as the only potential SS's I've seen are the blue one and the ZR2 as well and for now they are just concepts. I'm sure the idea is floating around the GM design department so I would just keep your eyes peeled for any new/ upcoming rumors on the new SS.

Miraculous story of survival
MIAMI (AP) - Seven people, including a 4-year-old girl, survived 20 hours at sea by clinging to their capsized boat and a small blue cooler after their vessel flipped during a fishing trip off the Florida Keys, officials said Monday.
An 80-year-old woman who was with the group is missing and presumed drowned.
Three other women on board told rescuers they didn't have time to grab life jackets for anyone except the girl when two waves suddenly flipped the boat off Long Key in choppy, rainy waters Saturday afternoon, Seaman Kendra Graves said.
Three men on board tried to help the 80-year-old woman, but she went under the water within minutes of the 22-foot-long boat capsizing, said Florida Fish and Wildlife Spokesman Robert Dube.
"She was one of men's mother - he could not hold onto his mother and she went under," Dube said.
At some point, the boaters drifted apart - three women and the girl hanging on to the cooler; three men holding on to the boat.
A commercial fisherman spotted the capsized boat Sunday morning, Dube said, and rescued the men clinging to its bow. The women and girl were soon picked up by the Coast Guard, several miles from where the boat had capsized.
The group of women started waving and yelling for help when they saw the Coast Guard vessel, Graves said.
"They were hanging onto the cooler. It was afloat but its main purpose was to keep them together," Graves said. Once aboard, the women asked about the men.
"They wanted to know, `Where are our husbands?"' Graves said.
