To foster rigorous intellectual exchange, Colorado Law faculty hosts distinguished lecturers, colloquia, and works-in-progress. Our legal scholarship pushes the boundaries of theory, doctrine, and practice.
Faculty Colloquia & Distinguished Lecturers
Schultz Lectureship Series The Schultz Lectureship Fund was created in 2007 by the generosity of John H. ('53) and Cynthia H. Schultz to support a lecture each year by scholars in the fields of oil and gas, energy, or natural resources law.
Recent lecturers and topics have included
Austin W. Scott, Jr. Lecture Series Austin Scott was a member of the Law School faculty for 20 years. He was an excellent and much beloved teacher as well as a prolific writer. His scholarly work was in the fields of criminal law and procedure. In 1973, former Colorado Law Dean Don W. Sears established the Lecture Series in his memory. Each year, the Dean of the Law School selects a member of the faculty engaged in a significant scholarly project to lecture on his or her research.
Recent lecturers and topics have included
John R. Coen Lecture Series John Coen was a distinguished member of the Colorado bar and an able public speaker. In 1955, his widow Adrian S. Coen established the lectureship in his memory. The purpose is to bring a prominent and distinguished lawyer, jurist, or scholar of law to deliver an annual lecture to Colorado Law's students and faculty on a legal subject of interest and benefit to the profession, preferably with some public or political aspect.

Have your Say on 2013 Academic Policies
Over the past three years Academic Senate has been undertaking a project to streamline its policy instruments (including Rules, policies and procedures). Whilst the high level Rules and schedules are intended to be immutable and subject to a five year review cycle, the underpinning policies and procedures are updated annually.
Edits have now been made to the key policy documents for 2013 in response to feedback received to date.
These are:
- Admissions and Enrolments
- Program Management
The specific changes will be listed at the front of each procedure manual but they include:
- strengthened English Language Proficiency requirements for all new students,
- inclusion of additional steps to triagestudents who are failing to maintain academic satisfactory progress;
- strengthened external review of programs; and
- new dates for submissions of new and revised programs.
A new policy suite has also been developed for Courses and Assessment.
Members of the University Community are now invited to review and comment on the 2013 versions of these important academic policies. Go to Academic Senate Matters to download the latest versions and have your say!
Feedback will be accepted up to 18 September 2012.
A tentative Forum date has been set of Thursday 13th Sept - 1 - 2.30 pm in HB15. Anyone planning to attend should register their interest at firstname.lastname@example.com
We will confirm the date as soon as possible and let you know.
We look forward to seeing you there!

The Daviess County Sheriff's Office arrested two juvenile males in relation to the vacant church fires.
Firefighters in Daviess County, KY responded to the fires on Sunday morning.
The first fire was at Mt. Zion Church on Windy Hallow Road, just off Hwy 81. Officials say it started sometime before 10:00 a.m.
The Daviess County Fire Investigator Harvey Henderson says the church collapsed and made it hard for firefighters to control all of the hotspots.
The second fire was at a vacant church on Macedonia Road, just off Hwy 815.
The chief from the St. Joseph Fire Department says the fire was coming through the roof when crews arrived. The chief says it was knocked down within 30 minutes allowing firefighters to get closer to it.
Officials tell 14 News that they believe both fires are suspicious. They say the churches are within five miles of each other.
"The houses have been without power for a long period of time and stuff. I know we have had some weather today and stuff and we are looking into it. It's a possibility it could be an accidental fire, but we are leaning more towards it could be an arson," Henderson said.

7 things to think before quitting your job
If you're like most people, you have days where you fantasize about
quitting your job--getting away from your boss and your co-workers, and
maybe even the work itself. But while there absolutely are times when
quitting is a good idea--when your boss asks you to do something illegal
or unsafe, for instance, or when you've been offered a fantastic
opportunity somewhere else--most of the time it's smart to think through
all the consequences before you decide to leave.
Here are seven things to think through before you deliver your resignation.

Is there such a thing? Best I can do is overload the write() function like so..
public function write() {
// do some stuff
}The problem is, the "do some stuff" gets executed 4 times. Any idea why write() gets called so many times? Once for each relation, maybe? And what can I do about this?
Re: onAfterWrite?
9 September 2008 at 12:20pm
There should be an onAfterWrite method you can use. Well theres a onAfterWrite() in trunk at least.
Re: onAfterWrite?
9 September 2008 at 12:44pm
Cool. Any idea why the write() method runs four times on my updates? Does it run once for every related object?
What I'm trying to do is take data that is saved on the object and duplicate some of the record info into another table when the form is saved. The problem is, when the write() method gets executed 4 times, it makes 4 insertions into that table.
Re: onAfterWrite?
9 September 2008 at 12:46pm
Also, while I have you here... I'm wondering, how do you specify the difference between data that was already saved on the record versus info that the user is saving into it through the form?
$this->record['FieldName']doesn't seem to bring different results for me. Should $this->record be populated with the user's form data?
Re: onAfterWrite?
9 September 2008 at 1:23pm
Ive just had alook at onBeforeWrite() and it looks like the current value is stored in $this->Field and the new data in $_POST['Field']. Just tried the same with onAfterWrite and it returned exactly the same - $this->Field contained the old values hmm.
Re: onAfterWrite?
11 September 2008 at 2:24pm
I'm experiencing similar problems - onBeforeWrite seems to execute multiple times, onAfterWrite does not appear to execute at all.
Re: onAfterWrite?
11 September 2008 at 2:25pm
ah, found this on another post:
//WHATCH OUT: The function onAfterWrite() is only useable when you use the Daily builds, it's not included in the Version 2.2.2
function onAfterWrite() -
Re: onAfterWrite?
12 September 2008 at 12:15am
Interesting. Thanks for that. Did we ever figure out why write() and onBeforeWrite() fire so many times?

Institute for Genome Sciences
Director: Claire M. Fraser-Liggett, PhD
Professor, Department of Medicine
The mission of the Institute for Genome Sciences is to understand gene and genome function in health and disease. To this end we use large-scale experimental and computational tools, which also generates data and resources that are of value to the general scientific community.
Created in mid-2007, the Institute has more than 45 employees, including a team of 14 faculty with primary appointments in one of four departments: Microbiology and Immunology, Medicine, Epidemiology & Preventive Medicine or Biochemistry. IGS is currently housed in multiple sites within the HSH-I and HSF-II buildings on the University of Maryland School of Medicine campus. It is expected that the Institute will relocate to BioPark-II in late 2008.
The scientific team at IGS is inter-disciplinary in nature and is comprised of international experts in microbiology, molecular biology, parasitology, plant biology, technology development, informatics, computer science, and mathematics. IGS investigators have been involved in the development and deployment of cutting-edge methods that have been used to decipher the genome sequences of hundreds of organisms across the Tree of Life, including the first bacterial, archaeal, parasite and plant species.
Two resource centers underpin IGS activities. The Genomics Resource Center (GRC) functions as a high-throughput core laboratory supporting the scientific programs of the Institute and external collaborators utilizing state-of-the-art technologies to generate high quality genome scale data in a cost-effective manner. The Informatics Resource Center (IRC) provides bioinformatics resources to the GRC and Faculty research activities, and is dependent on a custom-built and dedicated computational infra-structure. This organizational structure facilitates interaction among IGS scientists and fosters collaborations with outside investigators. Embedded in all of the IGS activities is a commitment to educating the next generation of scientists and physicians - as well as established investigators in the field of genome science - through courses, workshops and hands-on training.
IGS provides an unprecedented opportunity to enhance the genomics expertise on the University of Maryland Baltimore campus and to serve as a catalyst for new collaborations in other areas of research that will benefit from the application of large-scale approaches such as cancer biology, cardiovascular and gastrointestinal disorders, pediatric diseases, a better understanding of the world's most deadly infectious diseases such as malaria, tuberculosis, and diarrheal diseases, as well as the emergence of novel pathogens.

It was recently announced that "Crossface," a movie about WWE/WWF/WWC/ECW wrestler and former champion Chris "The Canadian Crippler" Benoit has a biopic movie in the works. The wrestler murdered his wife and seven-year-old son before committing suicide. And now, writer Sarah Coulter has given a quick update about the direction of the film via WorstPreviews.com.
"There are a lot of unknowns about that weekend [when the murders/suicide took place], which is probably why so many people have tried to fill in the blanks with conspiracy theories," she explained. "Chris Benoit was behind the murders, but we still wanted to touch on several of those theories."
Coulter then commented on which wrestlers will be part of the film. "Eddie [Guerrero] is obviously very important to the story," she said. "Triple H, Kurt Angle, they're all there, but it's early and things can still change."
Regarding whether the movie is a Chris Benoit biopic, Coulter replied: "Chris had a remarkable career. You take a look at his time in Japan and with Stu Hart, and you realize that you'll need more than one movie to tell the entire Chris Benoit story. Ultimately, it's about the 2007 murders/suicide, so we had to pick and choose the right moments in Chris' career that may have been factors in his downfall."
Coulter also stated that there are several actors in talks for the lead role and that an official casting announcement is coming soon.

Nikon D7000 Digital SLR Camera with 18-105mm VR Lens
Click on the image to zoomProduct information
Packing high-end image technologies into a surprisingly portable body, the D7000 marks a new era in creative flexibility. Sturdy enough to travel anywhere and powerful enough to handle any situation, its range of advanced features will satisfy any photographer ready to further their skills, with an impressive 16.2 megapixel image sensor ensuring exceptionally detailed results.
Key benefits:
- If you live life in a hurry you'll appreciate the near-instant start-up time and approx. 0.052-second shutter-release time lag, as well as the ability to capture fast-moving action at six frames per second.
- The high ISO (100-6400) light sensitivity - manually extendable up to 25600 using the Hi2 setting - enables faster shutter speeds for finely detailed images with minimal noise, when you shoot fast-moving subjects or take pictures in low light. It also features an Auto ISO setting.
- The razor-sharp 39-point Autofocus system has nine cross-type sensors in the centre, offering fast and precise autofocus coverage across the frame. Four AF-area modes, including 3D-tracking AF, deliver sharp results, whether your subject is off-centre, moving fast or completely unpredictable.
- Twin SD memory card slots allow for enhanced shooting flexibility. You can use the second card when the first is full, or record stills on one and movies on another. The D7000 is also SDXC compatible.
- A 2,016 pixel RGB metering sensor delivers highly accurate metering for exact exposures and provides precise data to the camera's Scene Recognition System, which optimizes exposure, autofocus and white balance immediately before the shutter is released for sharply defined images.
A built-in HDMI connector makes it easy to watch your photos and movie clips on an HD ready TV. Simply connect a compatible HDMI cable (sold separately) between your camera and the TV.
Feeling creative?
One of the biggest advantages of SLR digital cameras is the sheer shooting flexibility they offer. You can use various additional lenses to take wide-angle, telephoto, or close-up shots, to shoot a wide variety of subjects. The shorter the focal length (measured in mm), the wider the view will be – the longer the focal length, the more telescopic the picture. With a selection of interchangeable lenses at your disposal, the creative possibilities are endless.
Why not take a look at our range of additional SLR lenses?
Note: Please check the compatibility of the lens with your camera.

BKE Marled Cardigan Sweater 2 2
warm!!! this is a cute sweater! i got it in the outfit shown and it fits true to size! January 16, 2013
not for busty ladies i adored the fabric, color, and accents on this sweater. it didn't lay correctly on me in part because my chest got in the way. normally, i can make sweaters work around them, but not in this case. i think it may be due to the thicker fabric of the sweater, but i'm not sure. it also hid most of my curves and made me look a bit boxy. this would be perfect for someone smaller-chested.

We cannot just brush it to the side: no matter what we do, we will have made a decision on which charity to give to. Deciding to withhold judgement until further research has been done is just putting off the help we could provide.
Indeed, while it would be nice to have the time and resources to investigate every charity individually, giving them the time and attention that they deserve, we unfortunately do not have the ability to do so. It is therefore important for us to prioritize our research as well as our giving. Fortunately, Giving What We Can have developed ways for us to focus down the field of potential giving opportunities.
The greatest variation in charity effectiveness arises as a result of the activities that a charity undertakes, as opposed to any particular characteristics of a charity itself. For example, in global health alone, various interventions can differ in effectiveness by factors of 10 to 100 or even more.1
These differences in efficiency are taken from the list of health interventions at the Disease Control Priorities Project . (Close footnote)
On the other hand, charities that waste 99% of their donations are fairly rare and easy to spot. Thus differences in effectiveness between charities will tend to be dominated by differences arising from the effectiveness of their interventions.
For this reason, Giving What We Can's research methodology tends to be very top-down. We arrived at our current recommendations used the following method;
- We started by focusing on interventions based in the developing world, recognising that these would be more cost-effective because of their lower costs.
- Within developing world interventions, we begun research into heath & poverty interventions, as there was plenty of quantifiable evidence that such interventions are highly effective.
- Our research revealed that the most cost-effective interventions in this sector are deworming and insecticide-treated bednet distribution.
- From here, we looked into the charities that specialised in this kind of intervention. We found that the best charities were the Schistosomiasis Control Initiative, Deworm the World, and the Against Malaria Foundation.
Of course, this approach meant that we ran the risk of overlooking some good charities. There may be outstanding charities with weak activities, or outstanding interventions in otherwise unpromising areas. We think that this will happen sufficiently infrequently that this is not a significant problem, and it is extremely hard to eliminate this problem without inefficiently searching through an exhaustive list of charities.
It is also hard to assess entire areas of human endeavour accurately. Sometimes the comparison is clearer: labour and production costs are much lower in the developing world, so other things being equal, we would expect it to be easier to solve problems in the developing world. However, it is much harder to tell, for example, whether political advocacy might yield giving opportunities as dramatic as those in health. Having established some outstanding giving opportunities so far, our next priorities will be both deepening our knowledge of the promising areas we have already found and broadening our search to consider areas such as political advocacy, climate research, health research and others in greater detail.

LOS ANGELES (AP) - California's reign of pump pain is easing as prices drop for the second day in a row. The AAA's Daily Fuel Gauge Report for Thursday says the average price of regular is just under $4.66 a gallon - down more than a penny in two days. However, it's still the highest price in the nation. The highest state price is $4.75 a gallon in the San Luis Obispo area. San Francisco has $4.73, with Los Angeles and San Diego reporting around $4.70. The drop follows a 50-cent runup at the pump, fueled in part by refinery and pipeline problems. Some lawmakers have called for an investigation of the hike. Analysts say California's early switch to a cheaper but more polluting winter blend of fuel should help lower prices.

Dr. Behnam's Philosophy:
Dr. Sean says: "I only perform one hair transplant surgery daily to make sure that every aspects of the procedure is preformed with the highest care so each patient gets the best possible results".
Beyond surgery, Dr. Behnam's philosophy revolves around providing the highest care and the most artistic results. He performs only one surgery a day to make sure none of his staff technicians feels rushed through the procedure. For Dr. Behnam, it is all about the artistic quality.
The process actually begins from the consultation. Dr. Behnam performs a comprehensive, thorough consultation that includes a hair loss exam. Please read why you should attend consultation to see an in-depth analysis of the procedure. The most important part of our consultation is accurate calculation of the number of hair grafts you might need for correct costing. This calculation must not be too low and must not be too high. It must be just right.
During the consultation, Dr. Behnam performs a microscopic hair analysis, density analysis, hair mapping and creates a master plan to address your hair loss problem. Please see "Consultation and Examination" to read more on microscopic hair analysis, density analysis, and hair mapping.
On the day of the procedure, he makes sure enough time is dedicated to explaining all aspects of the procedure so the patient has a clear understanding of what will be achieved. There are NEVER surprise charges on the day of the procedure.
Following the procedure, you will have access to his direct cell number so you are able to reach him at any time. He prefers to see his patients many times over the following two weeks to make sure everything is going well. He does not charge for follow up visits.
His long dedication to all his patients, past and present, have won him the Patients Choice Award and Compassionate Doctor Award.
Dr. Sean is a fellow researcher, an innovator, a teacher, and an artistic leader. Over the past few years, he has modified significant steps in hair restoration surgery for its aesthetic value. He has also made the process easier for patients. His intense effort in modifying hair transplant practice has lead to less downtime, minimal to no swelling after the procedure, minimal scabbing, no bruising, and better patient experience overall. Dr. Behnam's patients who have had previous procedures elsewhere say that his care and attention to artistic details make the experience in his clinic a total joy. Dr. Behnam's patients describe it as relaxing, rejuvenating, and an artistic transformation. (Please see video testimonails).
Dr. Behnam invites you to a complimentary consultation, please call 1-888-543-8424 to schedule a consultation.
Dr. Behnam completed his training at the top US medical schools and residency programs followed by an intense training in hair restoration at the Distefano Hair Restoration Centers.
- University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) for Undergraduate Education
- Oregon Health Sciences University (OHSU) for Medical School
- University of California, San Francisco (UCSF-Fresno) for Residency
- Distefano Hair Restoration Centers for Hair Transplant Training
Come and see why thousands of people attend Dr. Behnam hair loss consultations. He has 7 southern California locations.

Insider Pages Reviews for Sean Behnam MD★★★★★balding attorney abbe G. I have been been losing my hair for many years now. I have been looking to do transplants for a while. Didnt know who to trust. I checked out a lot of hair transplant sites and it seems that doctors have to pay to be part of them… I went to various docs, but didnt feel the connection. I Saw Dr Behnam on Fox 11. I was impressed by his work. Im still contemplating soing surgery, but so far i've met with dr sean 3 times and it has been going better than expected. He listons to my concerns and every session we have spent about 45 minuted talking about my hair transplant. So far, I think I will go with him…He is more expensive than the average. but quality is more important to me. He gives his direct cell phone to me after the procedure and that make me feel comfortable. So far after 3 meeting with him, he is a 5 star…. June 23, 2011 ★★★★★Amazing!! Julio T. At first I was scared and somewhat sceptical of the procedure, but once I went through the process I was surprised and happy that it didn't leave any marks on my scalp. I feel very happy and satisfied with the doctor and with his team or surgeons. It is very satisfying to see how the result have changed my life and helped me have very high hopes. I am living happier with my life and next to my wife. I would recommend this to anyone who feels insecure or who needs a little bit of a push to go ahead and get this procedure done. It is very professional and with magnificent results. It will bring you happiness and to those around you who walk next to you in life, and this is why I took the chance to say thank you to the doctor for changing my life. In the mean time you should see my photos and the way I have been improving day by day. If you guys have any questions you can email me. I just want to tell you my life now has taken another path with a brighter horizon. May 28, 2011 ★★★★★better results Torri H. had previous hair transplant by another doc. But had poor result. Came to Dr shawn behnam for 2nd opinion. He did my 2nd procedure. A bit more expensive, but got twice as much hair that the last doctor did. I was inhis office from 7am-6pm. Last time, it only took 2-3 hours. I jyst had my 7 month folowup with dr benham and the results are great. Im very happy. More expensive than other places, but the quality is much better, better results. May 22, 2011 ★★★★★Happy Client derek k. I am delighted to write a review for Dr Sean Behnam. Very professional. I had a great experience. I had a hair transplant by a doctor in Oregon 4 years ago. it turned out to be OK, i got 1,200 grafts. I came to see Dr Sean 2 year ago because the transplanted hairs were not dense. He said he would get over 2,000 grafts. he showed me a special scalp excercise and he got over 2400 grafts. It now looks great. He was not pushy and disnt rush me into the procedure. I had to do my scalp excercice for 4 weeks before he scheduled me for the procedure. Im glad i found someone who cares more about patients than just $. May 22, 2011 ★★★★★I am delighted wih my hair restoration Suresh S. After seeing an advertisment in L A Times, I went to Dr. Behnam clinic for Hair Restoration out of curiosity. I am a senior citizen and did not make any sense for me to do hair restoration.

I had a great experience with Dr. Behnam. Not only was hos staff friendly and knowledgeable, but walking into the office completely put me at ease. I was skeptical at first about what he could do for me, but after a consultation with Dr. Sean, I was well informed and impressed at the advances he's made in African-American restoration. I would recommend his office to anyone looking to have a modern treatment with minimal to no scarring. The guy's a life saver!!!!! Thank you! |

I had a hair transplant done by Dr Sean in 2010. I never write a review. I am very please. I was completely bald. I had a hair transplant in 2007 by another doctor, but it didnt take so well. I was very skeptical. I was left with big plugs in the front of the scalp. Then, I was referred to Dr Behnam by a friend of mine. I went to see him. I was surprised that he spent 2 hours planning, desining. I was convinced that this is the doctor to fix up my previous blunder. So in Jan 2010, I had a hair transplant. The day went very well, almost painless. The difference was amazing from the begining. It has now been 1 year 3 months, the hair has grown out. Dr Shawn Benham has fixed the plugs. The hair translplant looks very natural. I can go out again. I have regained my social life. The doctor makes such a huge difference. I have already reccommended Dr Behnam to a lot of my friends and consistently have the same results. Highly recommended. |

It was awesome working with Dr. Behram. He was very thorough and explained every detail of the procedure. He took me step by step through what I should expect, and was beyond accurate. Dr. Behram and his staff are friendly and make the whole experience very comforting.

I never really considered myself a transplant candidate before now. Anyway, had my procedure with Dr. Behnam yesterday and everything went well. No pain whatsoever and his staff and technicians were professional and courteous, answering all my questions while working efficiently. My only disappointment was my graft count, which was less than expected (due to low density in donor area). After the procedure was completed the doctor explained the lower than expected graft count and even refunded part of the cost back to me. Oh well, I would have preferred the grafts instead, but he could only work with what he had. I would highly recommend Dr. B to anyone considering this type of procedure. |

When exactly did home entertainment product packaging, not the product itself, become relevant? Probably not when the first mass market TVs and stereos were carefully perused at your local audio-video dealer. But some believe that product packaging actually fueled the success of Apple's first iPod. The design of the box was so entrancing it whipped the competition, which arguably had better MP3 players.
Now-a-days it's all about theft prevention. It's surprising retailers haven't been sued more often for puncture wounds (and worse) when customers, once home, try to get their products out of the packages.
I recently analyzed several CE, PC and home networking products for major (undisclosed) retail buyers as well as for some friends who were buying a new home and hadn't upgraded their CE stash in 15 years. In the end, my criteria for choosing a product was influenced more by the convenience factor of getting the darn things out of the box and into operation safely and quickly than by the product itself. I checked the speeds, feeds and tech specs, too…but in many instances they were exactly the same, give or take a few decibels and pixels. Here are some leading products in their categories along with a review of their packaging.
Video Games
The easiest to play is the hardest to get out of the box. If you expect the youth driven Nintendo Wii to be easy, wait til you try and get the double shrink plastic nunchucks out of their cage. Do not use your hands. Unless you use a hacksaw you may be too injured to play games. I'll bet that some senior citizen homes, where the Wii is a top seller, have had to employ experienced mechanics to get the damn thing out of the box.
The Microsoft Xbox, which will be experiencing a steep price cut soon, and may be adding some terrific home entertainment add-ons, has gone through three product packaging changes in its short history. The latest iteration uses too much cardboard, but in the end it's still safer and easier to unpack than the Wii.
Sony's PlayStation 3 and PSP are the easiest to get out of the box quickly and safely. The accessories and add-ons for these games systems, whether by Sony or a third party, are very easy to get out of the box, too. Even the tough shrink wrapped Sony accessories have a secret pull-apart section, making the impossibly tough looking protective shield a snap to remove and open.
Home Theater in a Box
Sometimes, when prices come down, the quality of the packaging comes down, too. The mid level rated HTIBs, such as LG, Boston Acoustics and Samsung, seem to have it down pat. Four speakers, sub-woofer, center channel speaker (DVD player-tuner receiver) are all wrapped easily and efficiently…but because these models are so price-sensitive and produce very little or margin for their manufacturers, newer packaging is tight to make the boxes smaller. This, in turn, makes the packages difficult to get out of the box without breaking the box, which could make returning these items a problem.
When you get to a higher class of product, such as products from Onkyo, Sony, the fabulous new JVC models, the much improved Panasonic models and the overhyped, over-priced Bose Systems, you will have an easier time getting the components out of the box and into your living room or den.
Our favorite is the Yamaha HTIB and its regular components, too. The company hasn't skimped on its easy to get out of the box interior packaging. We also give a nod to certain higher end 2009 models as they include wireless rear speakers and/or wireless subwoofers so there may be less wires or cables in the box. Could it be that the packaging people from some of these firms have listened to consumer complaints and actually changed their ways?
Portable Car GPS Systems
In this very fast growing category, all the major players use one of two mapping services. So besides some differences in car mounts and built-in accessories like picture, video viewing and music playing, the average person is not going to find too drastic of a difference in the mid level Garmin, Tom-Tom, Magellan or LG models. But packaging here can hinder your initial out of the box experience. Garmin and Tom-Tom have an annoying iPod way of layering the product so you might even drop the actual device while pulling the plastic over the area in which the GPS system is placed. It took a focus group and me quite a few minutes to locate the actual car mount in the Tom-Tom because it was hidden in a compartment below the device itself…literally on the other side where you normally wouldn't look for a part. The top of the line LG, a few dollars more than the Tom-Tom, was the easiest to set up, but the instruction booklet was bad. We count that as bad packaging, too.

There are 45 days remaining before the 2014 Daytona 500. Hence, the number for Thursday is:
45: The number of NASCAR Sprint Cup Series starts at Daytona International Speedway for veteran driver Ken Schrader, who announced last season that 2013 would be his final year in NASCAR Sprint Cup racing. Schrader never won a points event at Daytona, but, after parting with owner Junie Donlavey in 1987, he made a statement in his first race for Rick Hendrick with a pole-winning run in 1988 Daytona 500 qualifying.
In fact, that was the first of three straight Daytona 500 poles for the Fenton, Mo., legend. Schrader's best finish at the 2.5-mile superspeedway was second in the 1989 edition of the Great American Race, where he finished runner-up to Hendrick Motorsports teammate Darrell Waltrip.

A Crown Point man was sentenced to four years in prison for the death of his passenger in a July, 2011, crash. The Lake County Prosecutor's Office reports Nicholas Stockman was charged with felony operating while intoxicated causing death after his vehicle left the roadway while heading north on I-65, just north of the U-S 30 exit, and struck a light pole, causing both Stockman and his passenger, Desmond Ramos to be ejected. Ramos was pronounced dead at the scene, and authorities reported neither man was wearing their seat belt at the time of the crash.

Commentary: Sportswriter told Robinson's story
In this July 20, 1962 file photo, baseball player Jackie Robinson embraces Branch Rickey in New York. Rickey was general manager of the Brooklyn Dodgers when Robinson was hired. (AP) |
Baseball's greatest story will be rewritten again Monday as the sport celebrates the 66th anniversary of Jackie Robinson's breaking the major leagues' color barrier.
Yet the man who wrote the story will be forgotten.
In every game, players from every team will wear 42, the number on the back of Robinson's jersey when he debuted for the Brooklyn Dodgers on April 15, 1947.
Yet nobody will sit in the stands with a manual typewriter atop their knees in memory of the man who, even as he wrote about integration on the field, was barred from the press box because he was black.
Nobody will honor the man who endured the same prejudice as Robinson as he fought that prejudice with his words. Nobody will remember the man whose hidden fight became an inspiration for Robinson's public battle.
Everyone will remember the headline, but few will remember the byline: Wendell Smith.
The humble, bespectacled journalist was Robinson's chronicler, his confidant, and sometimes even his conscience. As sports editor and columnist for the black-owned Pittsburgh Courier, Smith accompanied Robinson throughout his first major league season, creating his image, reporting his words and crusading for his rights.
As Robinson grew more popular, Smith became more invisible, until he eventually became Robinson's ghostwriter in the literal sense, the memory of him turning ethereal and nearly vanishing altogether.
"Everywhere we went, Wendell Smith was there," said Don Newcombe, former Dodgers pitcher, who was Robinson's longtime teammate, friend and fellow pioneer. "He was instrumental in so many things that happened, he should not be forgotten."
The movie "42," which opened Friday and chronicles Robinson's entry into the major leagues, is the rare piece of work that illuminates Smith's role in Robinson's life. Smith is the first voice heard in the movie, and his presence as Robinson's guide and companion is visible throughout. It was so startling to see Smith's image resurrected that, when the character first appeared on the screen, Newcombe nudged his wife Karen and said his name out loud.
"I was so happy and surprised to see him up there," Newcombe said.
That it took 66 years for Smith to be appropriately recognized is, sadly, not surprising.
Although he was the only baseball writer assigned strictly to follow Robinson, he wasn't even allowed into the Baseball Writers Association of America until Robinson's second season. Although Robinson often cited Smith for his contributions to baseball's desegregation, he wasn't inducted into the writer's wing of the Baseball Hall of Fame until 1994, 22 years after his death.
Yet even today, Smith's 91-year-old widow, Wyonella, follows the advice that her husband often gave Robinson as the two men traveled through the baseball world battling ignorance.
"If I complained about anything, Wendell would be turning over in his grave," she said from a Chicago retirement home. "Like he would tell Jackie, you can get angry as heck, but you don't take anything as an insult, because you know who you are."
In the best tradition of old-school journalists, Smith was not only a writer, but a fighter. He found his cause in 1931, at age 17, when he was a pitcher for a Detroit American Legion team and his catcher was close friend Mike Tresh. One day, with major league scouts watching, they combined on a 1-0 victory. Afterward, a scout signed Tresh, not Smith. His explanation? Tresh was white and Smith was not.
Tresh enjoyed a 12-year career with the Chicago White Sox and Cleveland Indians. Smith headed off to West Virginia State College to become a sportswriter whose career was based on righting that injustice.
"Wendell decided that day that if he was going to do anything in his life, he was going to make sure blacks played in the major leagues," Wyonella said.
Once Smith began covering the Negro Leagues for the nationally circulated Courier in 1937, he had his platform to make a difference. About that time, Robinson was at UCLA and became the first athlete to letter in four sports at the school.
In 1945, it was Smith who accompanied Robinson, then a shortstop with the Kansas City Monarchs, to a group tryout with the Boston Red Sox. When that proved to be a publicity stunt, Smith traveled to Brooklyn to personally alert Dodgers general manager Branch Rickey about Robinson's potential as a groundbreaker.
"Wendell is the one who got the ball rolling on the whole thing," Newcombe said. "He's the one who recommended Jackie to Mr. Rickey."
This recommendation, followed by positive scouting reports, led to Robinson's being summoned to Brooklyn for a meeting with Rickey. Responding to Rickey's questions about whether he could stay calm in the face of harassment, Robinson asked, "Are you looking for a Negro who is afraid to fight back?" Rickey replied that he needed a player "with guts enough not to fight back."
Once Rickey signed Robinson, he also signed Smith, at $50 a week, to accompany him for a year with the Dodgers' triple-A team in Montreal, then for Robinson's 1947 debut season with the Dodgers. That promise Robinson had made to Rickey was enforced by Smith, who constantly reminded Robinson of his importance to the community and the cause.
"They became great card-playing partners," Newcombe said. "Jackie needed somebody he could trust, and Wendell was there."
Their relationship was tested early when Rickey ordered Smith to drive Robinson out of Montreal's Sanford, Fla., training camp because of threats. Robinson didn't want to leave but Smith refused to leave without him. Robinson gave in, and a bond was slowly forged.
At the time, many white reporters were, like many of their readers, skeptical of Robinson and other black players. So Robinson trusted his most important words to Smith, who often was joined in his coverage by another future Hall of Fame sports columnist, Sam Lacy of the Baltimore Afro-American.
"It's not that we wouldn't want to talk to white reporters, but some of them weren't real particular about wanting us there," Newcombe said. "Anything important that Jackie had to say, he wanted to say it to the black newspapers and Wendell."
In turn, Smith often would advise Robinson about the questions white America would be asking, and how to respond to them. When Robinson wanted to fight back verbally, Smith preached calm.
"Wendell would always say, if you flared up, nothing good would come of it," Wyonella said. "When Mr. Rickey would worry that Jackie would be too hot-tempered, Wendell would always say, "No, no, he'll be just fine."'
Smith would become angry only when Robinson refused his help, at which point Smith would remind the star that he was enduring the same racial slights, only without the stardom.
"We would see Wendell sitting up there in the black bleachers typing his story. They wouldn't even let him in the press box, it was worse than you could ever imagine," Newcombe said. "Everything we went through, Wendell went through the same thing."
After Robinson became an established major leaguer, Smith moved to Chicago, where he became the first black reporter for The Chicago Herald-American and later became a WGN-television sports anchor while writing a column for The Chicago Sun-Times.
It was at the Herald-American in 1961 that Smith wrote a series of articles about the continued segregation of black baseball players in Florida during spring training. It wasn't long before all baseball players were allowed to share the same hotels and restaurants during their training.
"Everyone said he should have won a Pulitzer Prize for that series, but there was no way they were going to give it to him," Wyonella said. "He didn't care. He just kept pushing."
Despite his impact, Smith carried little public celebrity. Brian Helgeland, the director and writer of "42," said he had never heard of Smith when he began his research.
"But his name kept showing up in all these stories, and it became apparent he was a big part of everything," Helgeland said.
On Oct. 24, 1972, Robinson died of a heart attack at 53.
Almost exactly one month later, on Nov. 26, 1972, Smith died of pancreatic cancer at 58.
"Even in the end, they were together," Wyonella said.
Smith was too sick to attend Robinson's funeral, but from his hospital bed, he wrote Robinson's obituary.
"He never backed down from a fight, never quit agitating for equality," Smith wrote about his friend in words that could have described himself.
In a career filled with prose that changed the world, it was one of Wendell Smith's best stories.
It was also his last.

Most information on Midcontinent Rift volcanic rocks was derived from study of exposures in the Lake Superior region. In that area the volcanic rocks (mafic dominated) flowed from fissures along the margins of the central graben and formed a series of discrete basalt plateaus (Green, 1972). In Iowa extremely limited drilling has sampled only late stage volcanic rocks.
Early Rift Volcanism
The deposition of the basin-fill clastics was short-lived, as evidenced by a maximum-known thickness of about 120 m (400 ft) (Morey and Ojakangas, 1982). Their deposition was interrupted when a series of mafic dikes breached the crust and issued floods of mafic dominated lavas which filled the deepening basins (Green, 1972). The dikes include the Gunflint Dikes (Minnesota) and related dikes (Weiblen, 1982; Fahrig, 1987). The lavas are given a variety of names in various areas of the Lake Superior region (click to view MRS stratigraphic nomenclature), but Anderson (1992) grouped them under the name Mamainse Point Group. Soft sediment deformational features in the underlying Nopeming and related rocks indicate that they were not yet lithified when overridden by the magmas. Also, basal volcanic rocks display pillow structures in some areas, indicating that they were erupted into bodies of water, probably the lakes in which the clastic rocks were being deposited.
The Mamainse Point Group rocks, which reach thicknesses in excess of 6.3 km (3.9 mi), erupted as a series of individual flows ranging in thickness from less than a meter to more than 400 meters (Green, 1982). A series of coalescing basalt plateaus that thicken towards the axis of the rift were eventually constructed. Typical of rift environments, these lavas were dominated by mafic (tholeiitic) compositions, but also included minor felsic magmas. In periods of quiescence, the axis of the basin continued to subside. Rivers flowing over the lava plains eroded the distal portions of the lava plateaus and drained towards the rift axis, depositing interflow clastic units (Merk and Jirsa, 1982). In the Lake Superior area the rift axis subsided slowly. These volcanic rocks, and the overlying North Shore Group, lack depositional structures indicative of the presence of a central graben at the time of active volcanism (Green, 1972). In Iowa, however, seismic evidence, supported by gravity modelling in this study, failed to identify basalts on the footwalls of horst-bounding faults along any of the six studied profiles. This suggests that the central graben in Iowa was active during magmatism. If any of the Iowa basalt flows extended beyond the limits of the graben they were probably not extensive and were mostly soon removed by erosion.
The Mamainse Point Group was deposited between 1109 - 1098 Ma ago (Van Schmus and Hinze, in press). This period includes two magnetic field reversals: (1) Keweenawan lower reversed to lower normal polarity and (2) lower normal to upper reversed polarity. Both reversals are associated with periods of volcanic quiescence in known exposures, and neither reversal has yet been observed in the volcanic rocks. The top of the Mamainse Point Group is marked by a third reversal, also associated with a period of volcanic inactivity. This was apparently a period during which a regional unconformity developed.
In Iowa the lower volcanic unit rocks occupy the same stratigraphic position and are probably contemporaneous with the Mamainse Point Group of the Lake Superior region. This lower volcanic unit reaches thicknesses of about 8 km (5 mi) on several of the gravity profiles (10, 11, and 12) (click to view Iowa MRS profiles), assuming the arbitrary base of the volcanics at the base of the upper crust, 13 km (8 mi). There is little to distinguish the upper and lower volcanic units on the seismic profiles. In general, the upper unit displays more continuous parallel reflectors than the lower unit, the upper unit is generally more nearly horizontal, and an angular unconformity can usually be identified between the units. The difficulty in identifying the units with seismic reflection data and their similarity in the gravity models, suggests that large inaccuracies in their geometries may be possible, perhaps as much as 50%.
Late Rift Volcanism
A second package of volcanic rocks, with an upper normal polarity remanence, has been identified in the Lake Superior region. These rocks, like the lower package, have been assigned different names in various areas, but in his study Anderson (1992) referred to all related late rift volcanic units as the North Shore Group. In the Lake Superior area these rocks are similar in lithology and chemistry to the Mamainse Point Group and reach a maximum known thickness of 7.1 km (4.4 mi) (Green, 1982). The U-Pb ages of the North Shore Group rocks range from 1096 to 1086 Ma (Van Schmus and Hinze, in press), with age determinations bracketing the contact between the North Shore Group and Mamainse Point Group at 1097+1 Ma (Davis and Paces, 1990).
In Iowa, the upper volcanic package is considered equivalent to the North Shore Group. This unit, identified on all seismic and gravity profiles, is characterized on the seismic profiles by long, continuous sets of reflectors, generally horizontal to subhorizontal. The unit displays a maximum thickness of about 6.4 km (4.0 mi) on most profiles, but reaches 9.6 km (6.0 mi) along Profile 9.
Rocks correlated by Anderson (1992) with the upper volcanic package were encountered in 44 drill holes in Iowa, 36 wells with cutting samples totaling 116 m (388 ft) of basalt and 8 cores totalling 51 m (170 ft). Most of these samples are currently reposited at the Iowa Department of Natural Resources Geological Survey's Oakdale Research Facility. The most complete and informative basalt samples are from the Northern Natural Gas #1 Sharp core, drilled in Webster County near the town of Thor, which encountered upper package volcanics at a depth of 647 m (2156 ft) below the surface, and penetrated 17 m (57 ft) of the unit. All or portions of three individual basalt flows can be observed in the core, separated by weathered, vesicular flow tops. The rocks in this core are the "type" for the informal name "Thor volcanic Group" that is applied to upper volcanic package rocks in Iowa (click to view depositional model for Thor volcanics). A second deep core, the Finnegan #1 drilled in 1973 in Guthrie County, penetrated 72 feet (21.6 m) of gabbro and was studied by Fischer (1982). This gabbro may represent an unroofed late-stage pluton or possibly the crystallized interior of a thick upper package flow.
