Are You a CarDoll Hater?
First of all, let me make a statement in regards to vested interests and financial motivations: Neither I, nor any of my business partners or affiliated companies receive any payment, advertising funds, or in any way benefit from the success or failure of "The CarDoll". The same holds true for Jamie Lynn's husband (Ted Ing) and his businesses, or any of their other business interests.
I respect the right of each and every ADM Professional Community member to express their opinion, and if you disagree with me, I will usually promote your post! Last Wednesday, Larry Bruce paid me a compliment in Houston when he said to an ADM member who was complaining about "The CarDoll" to me:
"One thing about Ralph, I have posted many articles and statements that he vehemently disagrees with, but I have never seen him delete or moderate somebody for having an opinion different from his..."
(or something like that - sorry Larry if I got that wrong) I am deeply optimistic that a few of you reading this, who disagree with me, may understand that people who are friends can have differing opinions on such matters. I simply feel, in my heart, that to attack someone for the way they dress, or their personal mannerisms is wrong...
Long before certain individuals started talking about punching a young woman in the face for wearing a short dress in an automotive training video, I despised bigotry, racism, prejudice against people who look and/or act differently, along with the intolerant and at times violent behaviors that go with such hateful principles... Such as judging people by their appearance or ostracizing a person because of their looks. Threatening a young person with harm or rallying and influencing others to adopt the same negative attitude and hatreds towards appearance that is outside what somebody has deemed acceptable.
That is probably why I tend to defend the rights of gays, lesbians, people of color, those shorter than me, taller than me, darker than me, lighter than me, or even those stupid car salesmen that don't wear ties to sales meetings! Heck, I am even so far out of the norm that I have willfully, gladly and with a positive attitude sold cars to strippers, porn stars, sluts and the whores that cheat on their husbands (the reverse are the manly men who cheat on their wives).
I have actually accepted payments from people wearing bikinis and short-shorts who wanted to buy a car... Worse yet, I have sold vehicles to many of the undocumented immigrants here in Arizona who get gouged on their payroll taxes, then never file a return to get a refund of their over-payments, but who needed a car to get back and forth from that same job.
One of the best characteristics about the car business (in my opinion) is how, for the most part, we do not act prejudicial, regardless of a customer's appearance... As long as they have the means or credit rating to buy a car.
I have seen restaurants and bars refuse to serve people who look different than their usual clientele, but am proud to say, and thank the Lord that in MY CHOSEN INDUSTRY, I have not yet seen a customer kicked out of a dealership for their appearance, or even something as offensive as too much cleavage or a skirt that is too short.
Maybe my support for The CarDoll (Jamie Lynn Ing) is misplaced, but try to take a look at it through my eyes... Because, I look at the situation this way - I was raised during a time in American culture when many of us were taught that if you don't have anything good to say about somebody, then you don't say anything at all... Those that know me, also know that i have on many occasions violated this principle when a company or person does something i feel egregious enough to speak out about... Such as fraud, charging for a product or service that does not perform as promised, etc. However, in this situation it seems to me that for ANYBODY to put a lot of effort into criticizing and personally attacking a community member in the social media space based on personal appearance is just plain wrong... This is how bullying and some of the related suicides we see in various news reports have occurred.
I had the unforgettable misfortune of witnessing deadly homophobic mob violence in Buffalo New York (outside of a Hertel Ave. bar), when I was 21 years old... The victim was guilty of dressing inappropriately, revealing his sexual orientation in the wrong place at the wrong time. At that moment, maybe I was in shock, I vowed to NEVER become a "hater" and to accept people who were different from me as individuals. Because we are fortunate enough to live in the United States, we are living in what most of us would like to describe as a free country... I was so radicalized by my traumatic experience that I am now foolish enough to believe that if a woman so chooses, she is entitled to wear short dresses, or even show off her cleavage if she wants to. If you find that concept shocking, you better move to Saudi Arabia... Or at least stay away from most Phoenix are dealership Finance Departments.
Now, with that said, I am quite comfortable with informing those that report to me in a work situation that clothing is either appropriate for our workplace, or it is not. I also understand that if the people working in a business are not dressed in a manner that meets the approval of some people, that that business may lose those people as customers. In fact, as incredible as some may find this to be about my background, I once escorted a high ranking Honda executive OUT of a party at NADA because of the scantily clad women who had been hired to mingle with the crowd at the party... (but Ralph, that doesn't happen in the car business!)
But guess what I did not do? I did not insult, assault or even pass judgement on the people who chose to stay at the party, nor did I slap any of the women or "punch them in the face"... as somebody has posted, describing what they want to do to Jamie Lynn (aka CarDoll).
I do not have to become a CarDoll customer, I am not now, nor do I intend to become one... neither do you or anyone else. Quite honestly, her appearance and mannerisms make me somewhat uncomfortable, but for those that enjoy her style of training and communication, more power to you... Vive le Différence!
What ever happened to simply posting a comment expressing a strong negative opinion? Trying to organize a public lynching of anyone for the reasons people are attacking Jamie Lynn (the CarDoll) is far too close to the sentiments that create Lynch Mobs and emboldens those that burn crosses on people's front lawns for my own morality and sense of right and wrong to accept.
How many of the CarDoll's detractors have communicated directly with her and attempted to coach her? I have... Have her other critics? Because, yes... I am a critic and Jamie Lynn and Ted Ing both know it.
If we deem ourselves enlightened, forward thinking "Thought Leaders", then we should refuse to accept "Hate Behavior", or any other form of online or offline bullying and appearance-based judgmental rejection... Where does it end? Are Burqas the next female clothing requirement in the auto industry?
Make no mistake, the way people have expressed a desire to physically abuse Jamie Lynn, to "Punch her in the face" is fueled by the same types of hatred and misogynistic motivations as when a group of Afghan men stone a young woman to death for exposing her face in public... Or, when an Indian girl is gang raped to death and the perpetrators say she had it coming. For those of you spewing hatred and intolerance for Jamie Lynn's appearance.... Osama Bin Laden has 76 virgins for you too.
Every single person in my life who is closely related to me, my daughters, granddaughters, my wife and many of my best friends, are women... I admire and respect women in general. I am thankful that my daughters and granddaughters were born in a country that protects a woman's rights, more so than many other countries (although not as much as several). I am not willing to be neutral or silent about judging any woman solely by her appearance, or the clothing she chooses to wear... Whether it is because she is a devout Moslem, choosing to wear a Burqa, or a Philadelphia news reporter wearing a dress that is too short by Amish standards; either way, such appearance based rushes to judgement and the inflexible standards implied seem wrong to me.
Regardless of the clothing Jamie Lynn (CarDoll) wears or even the way she displays an attitude that seems remarkably similar to what I see so many men expressing in public settings, and then being admired by their peers, and rewarded for, there is something fundamentally wrong with hating her, or attacking her for it.
I find the whole CarDoll bashing thing to be a disgusting example of intolerance and "socially acceptable" prejudice. These are people motivated by opinions far too similar to what drives violence against women, or result in a gay man tied to a fence in Wyoming, then beaten to death. I am ashamed of the people I know who are so eager to hate a woman who dares to act like the TV commercials used to sell cars, or for saying the same things that men are applauded and revered for.
As a whole, this world could use a little more love, and a lot less hate...

We're Talking About Marketing! We're Talking About Marketing! Not the game that we give our hearts and souls on the blacktop! We're Talking About Marketing!
The sexiest Super Bowl 2012 ads promise to titillate and tantalize as companies advertize their wares during the biggest football game in the world. Super Bowl XLVI commercials often include gorgeous models and celebrities acting as spokespeople for everything from sodas and snack foods to lingerie and sneakers. This list includes the absolute sexiest ads aired during the 2012 Super Bowl. Forget football: It's all about the hotness!
Fans of Victoria's Secret supermodel Adriana Lima were in luck in 2012: The gorgeous Lima was set to star in not one, but two different sexy Super Bowl XLVI ads: One for Kia (a spot that also features Motley Crue, Chuck Lidell and some sort of rhinoceros rodeo) and another for a Teleflora (just ahead of Valentine's Day, perfect timing). Lima's 2008 Victoria's Secret commercial was one for the ages, and she didn't disappoint in 2012, either. Another sexy Super Bowl XLVI commercial features the p***ycat Dolls for GoDaddy.com.
Sexy 2012 Super Bowl ads don't just feature hot supermodels: Men are well-represented as well, with soccer hottie David Beckham appearing in his underwear for H&M and John Stamos seductively stealing a woman's Oikos yogurt.
Some of the sexiest Super Bowl commercials of all-time have featured the likes of Cindy Crawford, Kim Kardashian, Danica Patrick and Ali Landry. Who can forget Cindy Crawford's ridiculously hot trip to the Pepsi machine to chug down a "new can" of soda in 1992? That seems a bit tame now, compared to some other sexy Super Bowl ads. GoDaddy.com's Super Bowl ads are always hot, too. Whether it's Danica Patrick or Jillian Michaels, the ads always feature plenty of skin -- and a whole lot of teasing. Other sexy Super Bowl ads in years past have included Kim Kardashian's Sketchers Shape-Ups Super Bowl commercial (she's been replaced by a French bulldog for the 2012 ad) and Ali Landry's ridiculously sexy ad for Doritos.
When it comes to Super Bowl commercials, sex sells, and the racier the better. With companies shelling out upwards of $4 million for a 30-second spot, they have to get your attention. What better way to do that than with a half-naked supermodel or celeb? Enjoy the commercials on this list: The Sexiest Super Bowl 2012 ads did not disappoint!
Rank #1 Teleflora Super Bowl Commercial Teaser: Adriana Lima
Rank # 2 Fiat Seduction Ad: Catrinel Menghia

I owe my sisters in this business better marketing than that. It's a silent burden they carry, for the most part, at least for those of them who care.
I don't think CarDoll posting pics of Jamie in her bra, wearing a skirt that shows her crotch and getting comments about folks liking her white panties, and CarDoll pointing out that she's now in the Urban Dictionary as things like the below (and CarDoll pointed this out with a wink on Facebook, you can see it in the screen caps I posted earlier).
Anyway, I don't support marketing that demeans and belittles my sisters in this business. Things may never change, but I don't like the marketing in the pics you posted, either, for that very reason.
Anyway, here's what the Urban Dictionary says is the definition of "CarDoll", and I would've never known (and most of her thousands of followers wouldn't have, either) if CarDoll hadn't pointed it out. So don't please blame me for the content.
"A pornstar of the highest caliber for car dealers and salesmen. Her work is all done on camera and posted online for "educational" or "artistic" purposes, then posted for easy access by horny car salesmen and mechanics. What the owner of every car dealership watches at least once in a while, whether they want to admit it or not. A classy slut (and teacher) who wears clothes that are so sexy, everything she says makes sense. A whore who brings pleasure to whoever sees her big boobs sticking out of those dresses and tight sweaters. A bitch with good business sense and sales responsibility. A hot chick with big tits who uploads videos of herself. A female sex tool to make car salesmen do what she wants them to do."
Okay, these ads are MARKETING, the Cardoll is NOT marketing. She's selling "training" & "consulting" (at least I thought she was).
Those women in the photos, did you have a "digital debate" with them? Did you talk about the best ways to price a used vehicle? The best way to take a phone up? Or did they just smile with their hand on their hip for a pretty picture?
Where is Cardoll's LinkedIn profile?
Sure, sex sells - but when it comes down to it - would you rather have a Playboy-esque person spinning deals who couldn't think on her feet to save her life, or would you rather have someone who was "average looking" who would talk and build rapport with the best of them in the box?
I know which one I'd chose....
Megan, I would rather have you represent my dealership than either The CarDoll or any of the women shown in these photos... And, the same goes for the 100+ ladies I have hired into the car business since 1981.
Although... The woman in that Fiat TV Commercial could not speak a word of English and still sell me a car. Shameful? Perhaps... But, I would struggle understanding her Italian and still make the purchase... If my wife gave me permission...
But I don't think we're talking about marketing here. I could be wrong, but I feel like Megan is pointing out that this has nothing to do with CarDoll's marketing. This isn't about an ad or a commercial, but the content as a trainer. I actually agree with her main point there. We cannot compare these marketing campaigns with this scenario because we are comparing how people advertise their product to what CarDolls main business concept is.
I also think the lines have been blurred in advertising as we know it and so it makes this debate a bit more difficult. Marketing as we've known it has changed because of social media. What she does on Facebook is still marketing, so I guess I see the point of "who are we to judge what she can/cannot say?". It is a public forum where people and the faces of a business come to brand and market their companies using conversations and personality. I agree that the posting is a bit extreme, but I have less problem with her method of marketing than the actual services being marketed.
That isn't to say I have a problem with every sexually charged marketing campaign. I don't dislike every company (like Fiat) that uses what they think will work for their general population. But they're not selling me the that, they are selling a car and using that message to get to the end user.
As always I love your straight to the point attitude. Similar to what I witnessed at AutoCon when we were all talking about process at the VinSolutions party. You tell em how it really is...
I am shocked to see Arnold Tijerina engaged in such frivolous and objectifying activities... Shame on YOU, Arnold! You can't fool me, those smiles you are wearing are genuine and have not been forced or faked on your part. I think you enjoy the objectification of women as "Booth Babes" (to quote Keith Shetterly). I dare anyone to come up with such pictures of me, unless April Rain and the assorted Internet Sales Manager counts!
I notice that Arnold seems to have a bigger smile in this pic than the ones with his favorite "Booth Babes"... Hmmmm... What is THAT all about?
Megan makes everyone smile :-)
Thanks Jim, but I never know if they're smiling AT me or WITH me! HA!

UM med school's big ambitions led to big layoffs
Miami Herald, July 30, 2012
Long before the University of Miami announced in May that its Miller School of Medicine had financial problems big enough to force layoffs of about 900 full-time and part-time workers, there were signs of serious trouble. As far back as October, billionaire car dealer Norman Braman wrote in a memo to fellow UM trustees that he and colleagues had been receiving anonymous letters for months "outlining a host of wrongdoings, mostly at the medical school." Braman and others closely tied to the school warned UM officials the medical school was spending too much, too fast in the push to build a world-class medical center.

UPDATE: 8 People Buy $1,000 'I Am Rich' iPhone App, Now With Video Tour!
Armin Heinrich made a $1,000 iPhone application called "I Am Rich" that doesn't do anything but open a picture of a glowing red gem. That way, nobody will feel bad about stealing your phone. And, God willing, punching you in the teeth with a car.
The app displays a glowing red gem on a user's iPhone screen for the sole purpose of proving to onlookers one is of the moneyed class. That's all it does.
You know, there are a lot better ways to let people know you're rich than a damn iPhone application. Including, but not limited to: grillz, throwing money from your car, and getting your member gold plated and/or diamond encrusted. But the real sick part of this story is that 8 people bought the application before iTunes pulled it. And you know what? IT WAS ME 8 TIMES! Suck it, peasants!
UPDATE: Video tour of the app and a link to a hacked version after the jump thanks to Tony, who may or may not be in the mob.

Asparagus Wrapped in Pancetta with Citronette
This dish is from Mario Batali's cookbook "Italian Grill." He shared it exclusively with Martha Stewart Living Radio (Sirius channel 112).
Get More
Subscribe to Martha Stewart LivingIngredients
- 2 pounds large asparagus, 12 to 18 stalks per pound
- 4 ounces thinly sliced pancetta
- Grated zest and juice of 1 orange
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 1/2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh thyme
- Coarse sea salt
Cook's Note
Step 1
Snap the tough bottom stalks off the asparagus. Unroll the slices of pancetta and lay them out on a work surface. Lay an asparagus spear on a slight diagonal across the bottom of one slice and roll it up, covering as much of the stalk as possible but leaving the tip visible (if you are using jumbo asparagus, you may have a few slices of pancetta left over for another dish). Place on a tray or small baking sheet and repeat with the remaining asparagus. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour (this rest will help the pancetta adhere to the asparagus).
Step 2
Preheat a gas grill or prepare a fire in a charcoal grill.
Step 3
In a small bowl, whisk together the orange zest, juice, and mustard. Continuing to whisk, slowly drizzle in the olive oil until emulsified and smooth. Season with salt and pepper, and set aside.
Step 4
Place the asparagus on the grill and cook, turning occasionally, until it is just tender and the pancetta is crisped, about 4 to 6 minutes. If the pancetta browns too much before the asparagus is cooked, move the spears to a cooler part of the grill.
Step 5
Whisk the citronette again, and pour half of it onto a serving platter. Sprinkle with half of the chopped thyme and pile the asparagus on top. Drizzle with the remaining citronette and sprinkle with the remaining thyme. Serve with a small bowl of coarse sea salt for dipping.

Thomas Edward John Jr. (born May 22, 1943) is a former pitcher in Major League Baseball whose 288 career victories rank as the seventh highest total among left-handers in major league history. He is also known for the revolutionary surgery, now named after him, which was performed on a damaged ligament in his pitching arm.[1] Well over half of John's career wins came after his surgery.
Playing career[edit]
John was an outstanding basketball player at Gerstmeyer High School in Terre Haute, Indiana, where he held the city single game scoring record. Choosing baseball when he realized he would not go on to play professional basketball, John signed with the Cleveland Indians and made his major league debut at twenty years-old in 1963. Following two partial seasons with the Indians, John showed occasional excellence during seven respectable years as a starting pitcher with the Chicago White Sox. However, it was a trade before the 1972 season to the Los Angeles Dodgers for mercurial slugger Dick Allen that began a skein of John's most famous years, first with the Dodgers and subsequently with the New York Yankees, where he posted a pair of 20-win seasons and was twice an All-Star. John was also named an All-Star in 1968 with the White Sox and 1978 with LA. He played in all three Yankees vs. Dodgers World Series of his era (1977, 1978 and 1981), having switched over to the Yankees by the time the Dodgers won the Series in 1981.
John was a soft throwing sinkerball pitcher whose technique resulted in batters hitting numerous ground balls and induced double plays. In the middle of an excellent 1974 season, John had a 13-3 record as the Dodgers were en route to their first National League pennant in eight years, before he permanently damaged the ulnar collateral ligament in his pitching arm, leading to a revolutionary surgical operation. This operation, now known as Tommy John surgery, replaced the ligament in the elbow of his pitching arm with a tendon from his right forearm. The surgery was performed by Dr. Frank Jobe on September 25, 1974, and although it seemed unlikely he would ever be able to pitch again, he spent the entire 1975 season in recovery. John would work with teammate and major league pitcher Mike Marshall who was said to know how to help pitchers recover from injuries and taught John a completely different way to pitch where he would not turn his leg and go straight to the plate which eliminated the chance of him hurting his knee and arm, and he returned to the Dodgers in 1976. His 10-10 record that year was considered "miraculous" but John went on to pitch until 1989, winning 164 games after his surgery—forty more than before and one fewer than all-time great Sandy Koufax won in his entire career. After Phil Niekro's retirement, John spent 1988 and 1989 as the oldest player in the major leagues. In 1989, John matched Deacon McGuire's record for most seasons played in a Major League Baseball career with 26 seasons played, later broken by Nolan Ryan.[2]
John decided it was time to retire in 1989, when Mark McGwire got two hits off him. McGwire's father was John's dentist. John said of his decision, "When your dentist's kid starts hitting you, it's time to retire!"[3]
In 2009, John failed to get enough votes to be inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in his last year of eligibility with only 31.7% of the vote.[4] On the June 22, 2012 edition of The Dan Patrick Show, Patrick and longtime baseball commentator Bob Costas discussed the impact Tommy John surgery has made on the game, with Costas stating "you could make a case for" John being awarded the Buck O'Neil Lifetime Achievement Award.
John did commentary on select games during WPIX's final year of broadcasting Yankee baseball in 1998. In the June 24, 1985 edition of ABC's Monday Night Baseball, John served as color commentator alongside Tim McCarver for a game between the Chicago White Sox and Oakland Athletics. He also guest-hosted the Mike and Mike ESPN Radio program on June 26, 2008. It is unknown whether he will do any further work for the network. On December 17, 2006, John was named manager of the Bridgeport Bluefish in the Atlantic League, an independent minor league in the Northeast. He is currently the spokesman for Tommy John's Go-Flex, a joint cream for older athletes. He is also currently doing a national radio tour to promote this product as well as talk about life as a minor league coach, his years in the Major Leagues and to educate younger pitchers on taking care of their arms.[5]
Tommy John resigned as manager of the Bridgeport Bluefish on July 8, 2009, to pursue a "non-baseball position" with Sportable Scoreboards.[6] In two-and-a-half years of managing, he compiled a 159-176 won-lost record with Bridgeport.
In 2013 the initial Tommy John Surgery, John's subsequent return to pitching success, and his relationship with orthopedic surgeon Dr. Frank Jobe, who developed the procedure, was the subject of an ESPN 30 for 30 Shorts documentary.[7]
Personal life[edit]
Tommy married the former Sally Simmons on July 13, 1970. They are parents of four children—Tamara, Tommy III, Travis, and Taylor. In 1981, when Travis was two years old, he fell 37 feet from a third-floor window in his family's New Jersey vacation house, bounced off the fender of a car, swallowed his tongue, and then lay in a coma for 17 days. He later made a full recovery.[8] On March 9, 2010, Taylor John, age 28, died as the result of a seizure and heart failure because of an overdose of prescription drugs.[9] As a 10-year-old in 1992, Taylor's singing and acting talents had landed him a role in Les Misérables on Broadway. He made news by taking time off from the stage, however, to play baseball at Federal Little League in Fort Lauderdale, Fla.[10] In 1998, Tamara John married Chicago Bears long snapper Patrick Mannelly.[11] His oldest son, Tommy John III, was an All-Southern Conference designated hitter for the Furman University Paladins in 1999; he later spent two seasons in the independent minor leagues as a pitcher for the Tyler Roughnecks and Schaumburg Flyers.[12] Tommy III was a 4-year letterman for the Paladins, leading the team in complete games a pitcher in 1997 (3 games), in home runs (9) in 1999 and is one of 3 Furman players in 113 years of varsity baseball to hit for the cycle, doing so on April 1st, 2000 vs the Appalachian State Mountaineers.[13]
On October 24, 2013; the city of Terre Haute, Indiana dedicated a baseball diamond at the Spencer F. Ball Park baseball complex as Tommy John Field in honor of the native son who became one of the greatest lefty pitchers in major league baseball history. The Terre Haute Parks Department selected that field, as it was the site of John's last non-professional appearance; a high school game as a Terre Haute Gerstmeyer High School Black Cat in 1961.[14][15]

If you are a founder trying to create a new mobile app or an investor trying decide whether an app has enduring value, it is helpful to separate the ways that people use apps into four categories.
1. Time wasters: Apps that can be used for short bursts when you are waiting in line, etc. The most popular time wasters are games. Some apps are used sometimes as time wasters and sometimes as utilities – e.g. Facebook is both a time waster (checking status updates few minutes) and a utility (sending Facebook messages).
Time wasters tend to be faddish. It is easy to get hooked on new games and also easy to tire of them. If you want to build a big company that builds time wasters, you need to build a machine that builds, markets and monetizes apps, as Zynga has done.
2. Core utilities: As a rule of thumb, core utilities are the apps on your home screen: camera, phone, contacts, texting, calendar, etc. Core utilities map to deeply engrained use patterns that usually existed before modern smart phones. In the past people might have carried around a paper calendar, a standalone camera, etc. Core utilities tend to be very sticky – if you gain widespread adoption for a core utility you can build long-lasting value.
One entry strategy for a startup is to replace a core utility. This is what Instagram did to the built-in camera app. It is unclear whether the "Instagram for video" companies are core utilities (video app replacements) or time wasters. Creating a new core utility that doesn't replace an existing core utility is very hard. Foursquare seems to have done this for the users who regularly check-in.
3. Episodic utilities: Episodic utilities are apps that typically aren't on the home screen but are extremely useful in certain situations. Some examples: Hipmunk when buying plane tickets, Uber when you need a car, and OpenTable for making restaurant reservations. Successful episodic utilities target a well-defined situation and then become deeply associated with that situation. Making an app that is too broad or has multiple use situations can hurt you. Because many of these situations involve purchasing, these apps tend to be monetizable.
4. Notification-driven apps: This is an emerging category. Android has had a good notification system for a while, but the iPhone only made notifications useful in IOS 5. People tend to enable notifications for communication apps like email, texting etc. Thus far, notifications for other apps haven't gotten widespread adoption because, among other things: it is easy to annoy users by over-notifying them, and running non-communications apps in the background tends to drain battery life. Expect this category to grow as apps get smarter about when to notify, and battery life improves dramatically over the next year or two.

text: Senegal's highest court ruled [JURIST report] Monday that President Abdoulaye Wade [official profile, in French] can run for a third term, rejecting an appeal by the opposition. The Senegalese Constitution [text, in French] had no term limits when Wade initially took office in 2000, but it was amended in 2001 to impose a two-term limit. After the court's preliminary ruling on Friday, a group of youth protesters were confronted by the police. With legal means of stopping Wade's candidacy now exhausted the country may face instability in the coming weeks. The governments of the US and France have both warned of instability that could result from election-related violence.

Two members of armed robbery crew sentenced in connection with middlesex county thefts
September 27, 2011 |
NEWARK, N.J. – Jonah Paul and Rashawn Landin, members of an armed robbery crew that primarily targeted businesses and homes in Middlesex County, were sentenced today to 219 months and 108 months in prison, respectively, U.S. Attorney Paul J. Fishman announced.
Paul, 23, of Sayreville, N.J., had pleaded guilty before U.S. Magistrate Judge Patty Shwartz on April 18, 2011, to a superseding Information charging him with one count of conspiring to obstruct commerce in connection with his role in robbing four premises from between March 2009 and June 2009, and one count of brandishing a firearm in furtherance of the robbery. Landin, 24, of Parlin, also pleaded guilty before U.S. Magistrate Judge Shwartz on April 18, 2011. Landin pleaded guilty to one count of an Indictment charging him with conspiring to obstruct commerce in connection with his role in robbing a home in May 2009. U.S. District Judge Faith S. Hochberg imposed the sentences today in Newark federal court.
According to documents filed in this case and statements made in court:
Paul admitted he conspired with Landin and others, including Raffaele Danise, 25, of East Brunswick; Joseph Smith, 39, of South Amboy; Joseph Passalaqua, 56, of East Brunswick; Dustin Groemm, 24, of Perth Amboy; Brian Parolin, 30, of Freehold; Erik Prascak, 22, of Milltown, and Joshua Lally, 24, of Middlesex Township, to rob a number of premises located in New Jersey and New York from March 2009 through June 2009. Specifically, Paul admitted he and certain of his co-conspirators robbed: the Chris Michael's Steakhouse in Woodbridge, on March 17, 2009; the Ristorante Barolo in New York, N.Y., on May 11, 2009; the home of victims "M.M." and "P.M." in Milltown, on May 21, 2009, and the Ritz Diner in Livingston, on June 5, 2009. Landin also admitted he robbed the home of victims "M.M." and "P.M." with Paul and other co-conspirators. Each of the robberies was at gunpoint, and in each case, the victims were bound in plastic zip ties while the robberies took place.
In addition to the prison terms, Judge Hochberg sentenced Paul to five years and Landin to three years of supervised release. Landin was fined $1,000 and ordered to pay $46,578 in restitution. Restitution in Paul's case will be determined at a later date.
All of the defendants have previously pleaded guilty. Groemm and Parolin were sentenced by Judge Hochberg on June 22, 2011. Groemm was sentenced to 75 months in prison, three years of supervised release and ordered to make restitution of $20,894. Parolin was sentenced to 79 months in prison, three years supervised release and fined $3,000. The remaining defendants await sentencing.
U.S. Attorney Fishman credited special agents of the FBI, under the direction of Special Agent in Charge Michael B. Ward in Newark, for conducting the investigation. He also thanked the Middlesex County Prosecutor's Office, under the direction of Bruce J. Kaplan, the Woodbridge Police Department, under the direction of Director Robert Hubner, the Sayreville Police Department, under the direction of Chief John Zebrowski, and the Milltown Police Department, under the direction of Chief Ray Geipel, for their assistance.

Shots - Health News Less Sleep, More Time Online Raise Risk For Teen Depression February 6, 2014 Lack of sleep contributes to depression in teenagers, two studies find.

Shots - Health News Higher Blood Pressure At 18 Means Hardening Arteries At 40 February 4, 2014 Blood pressure is just not on the radar of most young adults.

Shots - Health News Drug Tests Don't Deter Drug Use, But School Environment Might January 14, 2014 Drug testing might keep kids on the straight and narrow, but it remains controversial.

Shots - Health News Doctors And Teens Both Avoid Talking About Sex And Sexuality December 30, 2013 Teenagers would sooner die than ask about birth control or other sexual health issues at a doctor visit.

Shots - Health News Violence In PG-13 Movies Comes With Plenty Of Sex And Booze December 9, 2013 Watching violent movies makes teenagers more aggressive, and that violence is almost always associated with sex, drinking and smoking.

Shots - Health News Many Teens Admit To Coercing Others Into Sex October 8, 2013 Sexual violence appears to have roots in adolescence, so researchers asked teenagers and young adults if they'd ever forced someone to have sexual activity against their will. About 1 in 10 had. Psychological pressure was the most common tactic.
Shots - Health News 15-Plus Drinks A Night: Teenagers Binge At Dangerous Heights September 17, 2013 Twenty percent of high school seniors say they binge drink, with 6 percent consuming 15 drinks or more in a row. This extreme binge drinking accounts for high rates of emergency room visits by teen drinkers, researchers say, and poses a health risk that until now hasn't been adequately measured.
Shots - Health News Teens Curb Sodas And TV, But More Work Needed In Obesity Fight September 16, 2013 After a decade of pressure from schools, parents and public health officials, teenagers do seem to be doing a wee bit better when it comes to eating fruits and vegetables and cutting back on sugary drinks.

Shots - Health News Even When Told True Risks, Kids Often Misjudge Them September 10, 2013 Ask a 9-year-old how likely it is that his bike will be stolen, and he'll probably lowball the risks — even after you tell him the odds. Researchers say children and teens aren't very good at applying data about on dangers, which may explain their seemingly irrational decision-making.
All Tech Considered Teens Use Twitter To Thumb Rides YouthRadio August 15, 2013 Need a ride to the party or the concert?

Shots - Health News The Family That Tweets Together Stays Together July 16, 2013 Many parents consider teenagers' social media lives to be a dark, mysterious void.

All campfires should be completely extinguished before leaving a campsite and never leave a campfire unattended. The following are additional tips for campers:
•Clear a 10-foot safety circle of all leaves, pine needles and flammable material.
• Allow the wood to burn completely to ash, if possible.
• Pour lots of water on the fire, drown ALL embers, not just the red ones.
• Pour until hissing sound stops.
• Stir the campfire ashes and embers with a shovel.
• The U.S. Forest Service is also asking residents to postpone burning debris this week. Debris burning is a major cause of wildfires in the South.
Lastly, there are general fire prevention tips that visitors can follow including:
• Don't play with matches.
• Keep your cigarette butts in the car.
• Park vehicles so that the exhaust system does not come in contact with dry grass, weeds or leaves.

Congenital erythropoietic porphyria is a rare hereditary disease of cattle, pigs, cats, and humans in which defective hemoglobin formation results in production of an excess of Type I porphyrins in the nuclei of developing normoblasts. The defect in cattle is inherited as a simple autosomal recessive and is usually confined to herds in which inbreeding or close line-breeding is practiced. The condition has been recognized in the USA, Canada, Denmark, Jamaica, England, South Africa, Australia, and Argentina. This broad geographic distribution indicates that the disease likely occurs worldwide and probably affects all meat-producing animals, especially cattle, swine, and sheep.
Heterozygous animals seem to be normal, but homozygous recessive animals are affected at birth with reddish brown discoloration of the teeth, bones, and urine that persists for the life of the animal. The inherited enzymatic defect causes deficient activity of uroporphyrinogen III synthase—an essential part of porphyrinheme biosynthesis. Uroporphyrinogen III cosynthetase is the enzyme that is deficient. The urine contains an excess of coproporphyrin I and uroporphyrin I; in affected animals, the color is amber or reddish brown. Bones, urine, and teeth (especially the deciduous teeth) fluoresce pink when irradiated with near-ultraviolet light. Prolonged exposure to sunlight causes typical lesions of photosensitization with hyperemia, vesicle formation, and superficial necrosis of unpigmented portions of the skin. The severity of the skin lesions depends on the intensity of the solar radiation and the extent of cutaneous pigmentation occurring in specific families of animals. A normochromic, hemolytic anemia with macrocytes and microcytes and marked basophilic stippling develops. Splenomegaly eventually occurs. The texture of bones is not altered except in cases in which bones have increased fragility due to a diminished cortex. Affected animals are generally of medium to good condition unless solar injury has occurred. Some animals become progressively unthrifty unless protected from sunlight. A similar disease, bovine protoporphyria (see Cutaneous Manifestations of Multisystemic and Metabolic Defects), causes photosensitivity only in Limousin cattle and humans.
In humans, a series of porphyrias caused by defective functions of enzymes in porphyrinheme biosynthesis have been described and grouped according to their presenting signs. These vary broadly and may include severe cutaneous lesions on exposed areas of the body, acute photosensitivity reactions, serious liver damage, and acute attacks of neurologic dysfunction. In animals, the recognized diseases are commonly classified as either congenital erythropoietic porphyria, congenital erythropoietic protoporphyria, or porphyria. It is likely that all of the syndromes described in humans also occur in animals and that a broader classification could be used.
The defect in pigs and cats is extremely rare and differs from the condition in cattle in that photosensitization is not a feature. In pigs and cats, it is transmitted as an autosomal dominant condition. In pigs, even with high levels of porphyrins in the blood, photodynamic dermatitis does not occur. The disease has been reported only in Denmark and New Zealand; in cats, it has been recognized only in the USA.
Diagnosis should be based on the excretion of abnormal uroporphyrins, the brown discoloration of the teeth (which fluoresce when irradiated with near-ultraviolet light), the appearance of discolored urine, and hemolytic anemia.
The recessive genetic character is widely distributed in cattle, but the clinical condition is comparatively rare. Clinically normal heterozygotes have lower levels of uroporphyrinogen III cosynthetase than do normal animals, but laboratory identification of the carrier state is impractical due to the relatively low incidence of the disease and is not widely used. Morbidity can be controlled by keeping affected animals indoors and out of direct sunlight.

Because even if 52 books sell out as they have the ones that sell the least are going. Whether it's DC or Marvel or Image. Hell, Last of the Greats was a good series by two talent people who are also 'Gatherers' and because people took a wait and see now they apparently have the series on hold to see if the Trade does sell. And the odds of the Trade selling (single issue fans need to double dip which isn't likely) and new folks who were too disinterested to try a book for 3.50 will likely have a tougher time buying 3 or 4 issues of the same book for 10 bucks.
The Spider-Mans, the Batmans...they're safe. But all these other spinoffs and risk books that people say they want that arent the typical fare offered just end up getting ignored.

With smaller vessels, lower bone density and less body fat, pediatric patients have different imaging needs than adults. Pediatric patients frequently have difficulty holding their breath or staying still during a scan, creating the need for CT technology tailored for their needs.
Understanding the importance of technology designed for the pediatric market, Toshiba America Medical Systems, Inc.'s Aquilion® ONE 320-detector row CT system is ideal for pediatric imaging. Its ability to capture up to 16 cm in a single rotation reduces the amount of radiation a patient receives and lessens the need for sedation. Toshiba will feature the Aquilion ONE at this year's Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) annual meeting, held in Chicago, Nov. 29 – Dec. 4 (Booth #5629, South Hall).
Arkansas Children's Hospital was the first pediatric hospital to install the Aquilion ONE. "Any type of exam can be frightening for children, so the Aquilion ONE's ability to reduce radiation and sedation is a tremendous benefit to our patients," said Cindy Holland, vice president, Ancillary Services, Arkansas Children's Hospital. "The Aquilion ONE has been beneficial in multiple settings at our facility, including cardiology, orthopedics and neurology."
Traditionally, when children are imaged using multi-detector CT, sedation is frequently required to keep the patient still long enough to obtain a clear diagnostic image. The Aquilion ONE captures up to 16 cm of anatomy in one rotation, consequently less patient sedation is required.
The volume acquisition mode of the Aquilion ONE exposes patients to less radiation, providing safer pediatric exams. The Aquilion ONE also features Toshiba's SUREExposure™ Pediatric software, which automatically takes inputs on the size and age of each patient and tailors radiation dose to achieve the best and safest image quality for each exam. The software uses protocols selected based on the patient's age and size, and type of exam to ensure patients receive only the radiation required to obtain a clear diagnostic image. SUREExposure Pediatric software comes standard on all Aquilion products.
