Chavez Jr - Pulls a lot of dirty tricks, re hydrates a lot, has the WBC sucking his dick and is only there because of his fathers name.
Victor Ortiz - I actually didn't mind him at first, but realistically I don't like him inside and outside the ring for lack of heart, and sure people say you can't not have heart and be a boxer, but somehow Ortiz has pulled it off.
Margarito - Self explanatory, while I certainly don't like Cotto, no man deserves that.
Mayweather - In the ring I can't fault the guy, outta the ring he has a tendency to do stuff to annoy me.
Pac - Outta the ring when he doesn't speak up at times makes me go WTF dude as his fan.
Bradley - People can say what they like, and in the ring against 'Rocky' he displayed the heart of a lion, but I still don't like the dude bragging as if he beat Pac by a large margin and it was a piece of cake, while I want to see a rematch, I think his chin has been comprised Roy Jones Jr style. I hope am wrong.
Canelo - FUCK HIM, how can this motherfucker sleep at night I don't know, I wonder how can he look himself in the mirror and say I am the best 154lber when he's never fought one? I mean it's alright to do it out of confidence but he says it as if he's achieved something.
Shane Mosley - The PEDs son, the PEDs...
David The LieMaker Haye - Wasted money on his PPV with Wlad, I hope he chokes on the food the money buys him.
Tyson Fury - Mans a fool and has fought nobody of any real worth aside from Chisora and Johnson, probably came out with the best line of his career the other day "I hit him, he hits the floor, I hit New York"
Any Fighter Given A Gift - and then comes out all cocky insteading of shutting the fuck up or admitting it was a gift

I forgot to add Chad Dawson to my list...what a waste.
This dude has all the tools and potential to be great, but his "cruise control" fighting style and mental lapses have done him no favors over the years. I remember the Pascal fight when he went bad to his corner and complained, "My shoulder, my shoulder fucked up".
So after he get whacked by Pascal in the later rounds, and got that bad cut, he decided to step on the gas. When Merchant interviewed Dawson after the fight, he inquired about the shoulder injury. Chad's response (paraphrasing), "Nah, aint nothin wrong with my shoulder, my shoulder's fine". Huh???
Dude, the whole world heard you to tell your trainer that your shoulder was messed up, or did you need an excuse for your poor performance? Dude is a tool and a waste of talent.

Workers at coal preparation plants in West Virginia and Pennsylvania will get medical examinations for working near a potentially dangerous chemical, according to a news release from lawyers representing coal plant workers in a class action lawsuit.
The chemical in question is polyacrylamide, known as flocculent or floc. The chemical is used to separate solids from liquids. According to the class action lawsuit, the chemical is toxic and exposed workers to a higher risk of "serious diseases."
"The defendants have agreed to pay approximately $6.6 million for free medical examinations for workers included in the class," a release from attorneys stated. "Anyone who worked at a coal preparation or water treatment plant in West Virginia or a coal preparation plant in Pennsylvania where the chemical was used is included in the settlement as a class member."
Anyone who worked at a coal preparation plant or a water treatment plant that used polyacrylamide is eligible.
Those who want an examination must fill out a claim form at www.FlocSettlement.com or call 877-738-3562. The deadline has not yet been set by the court, the release states, but could be as early as March 1, 2014. Objections to the settlement may be filed in writing up until April 1.
The lawsuit was brought against Chemtall Inc., CIBA Specialty Chemicals Corp., Cytec Industries and other chemical companies who produced or distributed the chemicals.

Gloucester Daily Times
---- — To the editor:
Tuesday's Times featured a most disconcerting story about the latest senseless act in an all-too-frequent pattern of vandalism in Dogtown.
Alan Davis devoted hundreds of hours of valuable time to create something that would benefit the city rather than idle away his time playing video games or causing trouble. However, some ignorant, low-class, immature people destroyed Davis's hard work in the traditional modus operandi of the coward — under the cover of darkness.
Anyone who spends any time in Dogtown knows that vandalism and litter is as commonplace as the stone walls. Dogtown, by day, is a popular recreation spot for all Cape Anners; by night, it is a campground for homeless derelicts and a party spot for the city's underage drinkers. On each subsequent visit to Dogtown, I find a new camp and/or party spot strewn with empty alcohol containers, and graffiti-defaced rocks.
The city owes it to all of Gloucester's residents and guests to step up efforts to clean out the illegal activity in Dogtown, not only to preserve a cultural and natural resource, but to ensure the safety of visitors and residents of the surrounding area.
As a history teacher, local historian, and lover of the outdoors, it pains me to see the ongoing and escalating destruction of one of Gloucester's most precious assets and the city's failure to curb it. As a realist, I know better than to expect a nightly police patrol of the Dogtown trails as police assets, in the scheme of things, are best used elsewhere in town.
The city should utilize reserve police or volunteers empowered as Dogtown constables in the tradition of Joe Orange. A consistent visible and vigilant presence is the only viable solution to reclaiming Dogtown and keeping the public safe.
With this in mind, I urge the city of Gloucester to take action.

Toronto FC selected Luis Silva with the No. 4 pick of the 2012 MLS SuperDraft. Silva will most likely be able to start early on, most likely in the middle of the midfield band of Aron Winter's 4-3-3 formation. While Silva showed a nice scoring touch during his senior year at UC Santa Barbara, he is comfortable as a playmaker as well.
Silva is a rare breed, indeed. In addition to his playmaker/scorer combination, he also has the kind of size that should make his transition to MLS relatively smooth. At 5-foot-11 and 165 pounds, he's already got plenty of size and will surely be able to put on a few more pounds over the next few months.
At UCSB, Silva was pretty much unstoppable, at least during his senior year. After three years in which he showed promise but not necessarily star power, Silva busted out in 2011. with 17 goals and 10 assists, he was among the college points leaders.
The only question about Silva might be if last year was a men-against-boys situation. At 23 years old, he is a little advanced for some of his competition, but he showed well at the MLS Combine and seems to have answered any of those concerns.
For the latest updates from the draft, be sure to follow this StoryStream.


text: ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) - Three years ago, anti-abortion "missionaries" Tara and Bud Shaver left Operation Rescue's base in Kansas with one target: a clinic that abortion opponents say has turned Albuquerque into the late-term abortion capital of America. But after a loss at the medical board and making little headway in the Democrat-controlled Legislature, their group, Project Defending Life, gathered enough signatures to place a late-term abortion ban on the municipal ballot. It is believed to be the first such referendum of its kind in the country and is being watched as a possible new front for activism in the abortion wars that have typically been waged at the federal and state levels. On Tuesday, Albuquerque voters will decide whether to ban abortions after 20 weeks.(Copyright 2013 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.

Peyton and Skillz Together Season 6
I'm so sick and tired of Lucas and him going from girl to girl. Or actually more specifically, from girl to Peyton. It's the same story line over and over again! Season 1: Lucas presents Peyton with a big commitment. She gets scared and runs. She realizes her mistake and he's moved on, and claims to be the guy for Brooke. Season 5: Lucas proposes to Peyton. She gets scared and runs. She realizes her mistake, but he's moved on. He tells Lindsey that he loves her more than anyone. This is so annoying now! I love Peyton and I just want to see her happy. Not crying over that indecisive jerk. That's why I think Skillz and Peyton would be great together. They're cute and seem to enjoy each other. I think they could be a great couple and be happy together. I think they need each other and I feel the tension is thick... Please sign if you agree that the writers of One Tree Hill should get Skillz and Peyton together in season 6.

Similar to security at an airport. Once you pass through there is a representative to direct you into line. Having upgraded to a Penthouse we were sent to a VIP line and from that point escorted to a waiting area. We then met our concierge and told we would be taken to the ship shortly. The first of many picture ops is taken at this point...very annoying. It should be an option if you want your picture taken, instead they harass you until you allow it to be done. I learned my lesson and from then on absolutely refused any further pictures. I know a lot of people enjoy this but for us it's just another way for the cruise line to make money and is irritating.
The first thing noticed when boarding was the smell of cigarette smoke. It smells of an old Vegas casino. The decor is dated but not gaudy as on other ships.
The cabin itself was in need of simple updates, paint etcetera. Overall it was such a relief that we upgraded given the amount of time we spent in the cabin. The extra living and bath area was wonderful. Our butler and steward were always smiling and helpful and met every need asked of them.
The ship hit 70 plus gale force winds making it impossible to wear heels and dress nicely for dinner so the relaxed dining options were much needed. We dined in Windows the first night - mediocre. We dined at the Sushi bar and it was good. Cagney's very good, dined there twice. La Bistro the best, also dined there twice and the steak was better than Cagneys. Raffles was a horrific show of people acting like they'd never seen food in their lifetime, pushing shoving absolutely disgusting. Manners simply did not exist. I would think NCL could resolve some of this by simple placing cue lines for the buffet.
Another great thing about booking a Penthouse is you get dining privileges at Cagney's for breakfast and lunch at no additional fee. This was such a relief, the food was so much better than the other options and the atmosphere a thousand times better!
Well considering most people on this cruise were Senior Citizens the pool area was comedic and somewhat disturbing. As cold as it was people were out in droves and I honestly have never seen so many seniors in speedos and bikinis in one place. Definitely tried to avoid the area. Kudos to them for not being body conscious...I think.
The evening entertainment we only went to twice. The Motown show was very good and we had a great time. The other show was supposed to be a comedic musical show. It was terrible. The lead an Irishman with old vulgar jokes who spent quite a bit of time hawking their CD to the crowd. After that show we decided we'd rather sit on our balcony checking out the waves and the stars with a glass of wine...much more fun!
Fuchal was absolutely beautiful and for us the highlight of all the excursions. Arrecife was amazing as well and we did the camel rides which were fun. We visited the caves of Nerja which was incredible. Malaga was too large of a city for me. We spent our afternoon on the pier drinking Sangria, shopping and people watching. The final excursion to Monserrat was a must do. Be aware however that the bus ride up the mountain is very curvy and very high! Would have loved to stay there overnight and gone hiking.
Fairly simple just know that if you have an excursion you have to lug your bags with you to the bus...the porters are non-existent as well as no baggage racks to help.
We stayed one additional night in Barcelona at the NCL suggested hotel Mont Blanc. I would never stay there again. The lobby looks nice however the rooms are worse than a shabby Best Western I would rate it a one and a half star. There was no air unless you wanted heat and was very stuffy. We had to keep the window open so basically did not sleep as the street in this part of Barcelona always have people out and about. I laid there wishing we had just left for the airport directly after our tour in Monserrat.
Overall I have to say without booking the Penthouse this would have turned into a horrible cruise for us. We relished the time in our cabin and personal balcony. Any time spent outside the cabin is going to cost you. They nickel and dime you for absolutely everything and the drinks are outrageously expensive. If you enjoy the "standard" cheap shows and silly games....that still cost money to participate in then this may be the ship for you.
On a brighter note I can say that the staff was very good. Always pleasant smiling, knew our names and greeted us cheerfully. They seem to take pride in trying to keep this old ship from going downhill too fast. There is always cleaning being done and I appreciated the hand sanitizers wherever we went.

Some Giles County residents are worried about the potential of a private gun range moving into the Clover Hollow area, near Newport.
One of the items in front of a joint hearing with the Giles County Board of Supervisors and the County Planning Commission is a request for a special permit to re-zone an area near Newport, enabling a possible outdoor firing range and training facility to be established.
"It's very quiet, we all pretty much revere the quiet and the peace" said Hanna Craig, a Giles County resident who has lived in the area for more than a decade.
Craig says she's not opposed to guns but is opposed to a gun range moving in.
"Why do that if you really want to develop this as a community to live in?" Craig said.
"If you cannot legally own a gun, you can't be part of this" said Craig Stallings, one of the business partners behind Top Brass Shooting Sports, that wants to move in on more than 100 acres of Giles County land.
"Gun sales are way up and I have a concern that there are people buying firearms and they're legally able to do so but they may not necessarily know how to use them" said Barry Link, a business partner.
Link says his family has owned the land for decades and it will be cleared out for a target range, training facility and classrooms. He says they've shooting guns on the land every Sunday for more than a year and have not gotten any complaints.
"God made a nice shooting range here" said Stallings. "It's remote, it's about a mile from any road, the closest neighbors are 3/4 of a mile."
It would be a closed range for three groups:
-recreational shooters who would become members
-local law enforcement
- people who want training
"It's something that's needed and it's something that will lead to people more educated in firearms" said Stallings.
"Once they get in, they could easily expand size, time, that's another big fear is how out of hand could it get once they're in?" said Hanna Craig who is worried about an increase in neighborhood traffic, noise and safety.
The public hearing is scheduled for tonight (Thursday, April 18th) at 7 p.m. in the Giles County General District courtroom located at 120 North Main St. in Pearisburg.

News: Fabolous Unveils "Loso's Way 2" 9/11 Anniversary Plans [Video]
Saturday, Jun 11, 2011 9:05AM
Brooklyn rapper Fabolous is reminding fans to not become too comfortable with his new S.O.U.L. Tape underground project by revealing plans to drop his forthcoming Loso's Way 2 solo album by summer's end.
While an exact date has not yet been cemented, Fab is looking to drop the LP on the 10-year anniversary of his Ghetto Fabolous debut.
"The next album is coming in September, so I'm working on that, trying to finish that up," Fab said referring to Loso's Way 2. "We're looking to do that around September 13th. September 11th is actually when my first album dropped, ten years ago, that was also the tragic day of 9/11, so you know, my album dropped that same day. And we kind of want to do a ten-year anniversary kind of feel. So, we looking for September 13th. I'm working with a lot of guys. It's still in the baby stages, so I don't want to give too much of the info out right now but it's soon to come. Everything will be out there." (Hot 106)
Last April, Fab said he decided not to give the project a definite deadline in order to have it come together organically.
"The album, we just started on that. I really just got a lot of beats on that, picking beats out or whatever. Then I lock in and attack the beats, like a monster in a cave. [Laughs] I drag the beats back to my cave. [Deadline?] Not really. I usually have deadlines but I don't. They tell you what time you need to do something, and it's like, 'Okay, I work toward that time, but if it's not ready, it's not ready.' But I'm definitely not the type that will just let something not come out. There's a couple [of] albums right now that people have been talking about for a year..." (XXL Mag)
In May 2010, Fab said he hoped to put the project out by the fall.
"I'm trying to get it out there for Thanksgiving," Fab revealed in an interview with radio host Tim Westwood. "I think Thanksgiving will be a great time. I'm just grabbing up all the beats. Once I get all the bones of it, I can just lay the skin right on top of it. I kinda got where the concept of where I want to go with it but I just got to find the music to pull it all together. I've got about 12 beats right now, looking for maybe about four more. And I worked with more young, hungry producers this time. Last time I had a lot of big features and producers but this time I wanted to shake the chemistry up a little bit..." (Tim Westwood TV)
Around December 2009, Fab initially said the project could drop sometime in the second quarter.
"I'm looking to come next summer," Fab said of the album's release date. "I like summer releases. It's good timing. People are out, a lot of people need good music to ride to. I'm looking towards June or July again and come with Loso's Way 2." As of now, the roll-out for the original Loso's Way is still underway. Fab wants to release viral visuals for "Lullaby," "Last Time" and "Makin' Love," while a clip "I'mma Do It" hit the 'net a few weeks ago. (MTV)

CATEGORIES Comedy, Documentary, Drama, Foreign Language, Gay & Lesbian, Independent, Noir, Exhibition, Family Films, Other Festivals, Cinematical Indie, Movies, CinematicalI used to live in Rochester, New York. It sits nestled on Lake Ontario. In the fall, the foliage is spectacular. In the winter, the town competes with Buffalo for who gets the most snow (the last year we lived there, Rochester won -- if you can call it that -- with 92"). There's a cute little indie theater nestled near downtown Rochester called The Little Theater, where Rochesterians can sample a fine selection of independent film -- maybe not quite as soon as the folks down south in New York City get to see them, but they do get them pretty darn quickly. What they didn't have when I lived in Rochester, though, was a film festival. Now that I live 3,000 or so miles away in Seattle, of course, they have one.
2006 marks the sixth year of the High Falls Film Festival, one of the few fests in the country that focuses on Women in Film. This makes sense, because conservative Rochester has a rich history of feminism under its surface. Susan B. Anthony lived in Rochester (if you're going to be in Rochester for the fest, you can take a tour of her house while you're there), and Rochester is also the home of Eastman Kodak founder George Eastman -- the man whose ideas helped make it possible for us to have movies today. It's a great city to host a regional film festival
This year's fest runs November 8-13, and features a pretty impressive slate. The fest opens with Copying Beethoven, and other films I'd recommend include Ten Canoes ( which got good buzz around Telluride and Toronto), Deliver Us From Evil (I'm curious how that film will play in Rochester, which has so many Catholics that the Friday Night Fish Fry is a local tradition -- mmmm, fried haddock), Little Red Flowers, American Blackout, The Lives of Others, After the Wedding, and 13 (Tzameti), which doesn't have any women in it, but is a good film nonetheless. You can check out the full schedule here.
Regional film festivals are one of the best ways to see the kinds of films that play major fests like Sundance, Cannes and Toronto, without having to travel too far from home. If you're in upstate New York, and you make it to the High Falls Film Festival, pop on back here and let us know how it is. Oh, and stop off at Kelly's Apple Farm and pick me up a Dutch Apple Pie while you're out that way.

Representatives from wholesale electricity providers invited to discuss power alternatives were missing from Tuesday's Logansport Utility Service Board meeting after city officials determined it would be best to wait until current negotiations with the proposed waste-to-energy plant's developer have concluded.
John Davis, chairman of the utility service board, said at March's meeting that he was planning to invite representatives from the Midwest Independent Transmission System Operator, Inc., the Indiana Municipal Power Agency, the Wabash Valley Power Association and Duke Energy to meet with utility service board members to explore further alternatives for the city, should Pyrolyzer, LLC's proposal to develop a plant powered by refuse-derived fuel not come to fruition.
Davis originally felt the meeting would be more accommodating for the power providers if it was held in executive session. Citing the part of Indiana Code pertaining to municipalities engaging in executive session, Logansport City Attorney Randy Head said the meeting would have to be public.
"After researching the statute, my opinion was that the meeting could not take place in executive session, it would need to be public," Head said.
Davis said Head told him members from the power agencies could attend the utility service board meeting, but that their participation in any kind of discussions would have to be limited.
"The attorney had indicated we could have them here, but we couldn't ask them questions that could be interpreted to be negotiations because there's a fine line between information and discussion and negotiations," Davis said. "With those findings from the legal part of this, we withdrew the request until a later date if necessary. At this point, we'll see where current negotiations go."
Paul Hartman, superintendent of Logansport Municipal Utilities and a utility service board member, said meeting with power providers are still very much a part of the plan.
"They're going to be contacted during our negotiations, which are from now until October," Hartman said. "They were always planned to be contacted. To have them present at a board meeting would preempt what's happening in the negotiations and it just isn't appropriate."
Hartman went on to say that the providers will meet with the study team of consultants assisting the city with the power plant project currently in negotiations with Pyrolyzer.
"The timing is that we have to do it during negotiations and not a public meeting," Hartman said. "You never negotiate during a public meeting. Negotiations will be with the study team and we'll report what the results of them are."
Todd Miller, a utility service board member, said he felt alternatives would be adequately addressed during negotiations with the study team, but has concerns regarding the purchase power agreement the team, the city and Pyrolyzer are currently working on.
"I know I wouldn't be comfortable with considering just any purchase power agreement, although it does appear city council is completely in charge of it," he said, citing an ordinance passed by the council to adopt a memorandum of understanding with Pyrolyzer to engage in negotiations. "The USB has no authority anymore... It's entirely between the mayor and city council."
As the utility service board won't be a part of the negotiations, Miller said he hopes those involved will take great care in assessing this part of the deal.
"As a USB member, something I would hope is they would consider analyzing other suggestions for a purchase power agreement," Miller said. "I'm not sure how we would be informed if it's good if there's nothing to compare it to."

Manufacturers Roundtable: Apparatus
Firehouse® Magazine asked a cross-section of apparatus manufacturers, large and small, about their recommendations and creative ideas on how to specify and finance apparatus in this challenging economic environment. This is an excerpted version of the...

Factors in the final costs include not only the initial price, but the cost of financing and perhaps most important of all is the cost of maintenance, Gerace said. Departments need to look at the manufacturers' abilities to support the apparatus over its life.
"You're not buying apparatus for just year one," Gerace said. "You have to consider the total life of the product."
Gerace said departments that look to grants for funding must be especially thoughtful when writing them. Too many times, grants sought by worthy departments are kicked out because they are poorly written and not well-thought-out. "Poor presentations by rushed individuals can jeopardize the departments' chances," Gerace said.
Shane Krueger, sales manager of the rescue, fire division of Marion Body Works, is a big proponent of pre-sold demonstrator units for saving money. Companies, including Marion, are all going to build demonstrator units for shows and sales presentations. If a department can negotiate with the company, Marion will build what the department wants with the understanding that it will be driven a certain number of miles and be on the road for a certain period.
"We give a pretty good discounting on that kind of apparatus," Krueger said. To save money, Krueger said, Marion will reuse and remount certain equipment on new apparatus – cord and hose reels, for example – if they are in good shape and arrangements are made at the time the apparatus is specified. "That can save departments a lot of money," he said.
Another way to save money at the time of specification is to build into the apparatus accommodations for future accessories and equipment, he said. "It becomes almost plug-and-play when the department can afford to buy it in the future," Krueger said, noting it is far less expensive to build for the future than it is to try to reconstruct after the apparatus is completed.
There are some items, such as lettering and graphics, that departments may find more affordable if done locally, especially if the shop is willing to make a donation or a cost reduction for the ability to claim the local apparatus as an example of its work.
Tom Whitmer, director of business development for Oshkosh Capital, a division of the Oshkosh Corp., parent company of Pierce Manufacturing, touts a proprietary lease program for Pierce apparatus as a good way of getting departments the apparatus they need. Pierce Flex Financing, which is exclusive for Pierce apparatus, offers serious savings for departments, Whitmer said. The Pierce financing program has a tax-exempt lease for municipalities where Pierce gets tax credits for leasing money to towns and cities and passes the savings on to the departments in reduced interest rates, Whitmer said, adding that the payments are tied to a department's budget cycle and do not start until the next cycle.
"Interest rates are at historically low levels," Whitmer said. "We believe it's an opportune time to purchase equipment."
Pierce, through Oshkosh Capital, offers 15-year, 100% finance programs at a fixed rate for the entire term with no closing costs, Whitmer said. Another advantage of leasing is not having to go to the voters for bond approval to get the equipment they need. "We think it's a good solution for our customers," he said.
Mike Watts, national sales manager for Toyne Inc., said when departments are looking for affordable apparatus, they should not be willing to sacrifice quality. To meet the needs of price-conscious departments, Toyne developed a program truck called the HQRP (for high-quality, reasonably priced), Watts said. Customers pick one of five body styles that have been pre-engineered and offer the accompanying cost savings.
"Not all trucks are created equal," Watts said, adding that a higher-quality truck is going to last longer and give better service than a lower-quality unit.
"An apparatus will be around for 20 to 25 years," Watts said. "So you have to look at total cost of ownership, not simply who is the lowest price at the bid table."

Court Rules that New Mexico is in Violation of Federal Voter Registration Law
by Project Vote, Wed Dec 22, 2010 at 02:58:47 PM EST
Voting rights groups scored a major victory in their efforts to bring the State of New Mexico into compliance with the National Voter Registration Act (NVRA) when a judge ruled that the state Human Services Division is violating the NVRA through their policy of only offering the opportunity to register to vote to clients who explicitly request to do so.
Yesterday's ruling was the result of a lawsuit brought by a coalition of voting rights groups against New Mexico's Human Services Division (HSD) and Secretary of State Mary Herrera, which cited clear evidence that New Mexico public assistance offices are violating their federally mandated responsibility to offer tens of thousands of New Mexicans each year the opportunity to register to vote. The plaintiff is represented by voting rights groups Project Vote, Dēmos, and the Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law (Lawyers' Committee), as well as by the law firm of DLA Piper U.S.
Section 7 of the NVRA requires that public assistance agencies give clients a voter registration application with every application for benefits, recertification, and change of address. New Mexico policy, however, has been to give voter registration application forms to only those clients who explicitly request them, a practice that plaintiff maintains is in violation of the NVRA.
Yesterday, United States District Judge Judith Herrera agreed and the court held that "Section 7 does not make the provision of a voter registration application contingent upon an affirmative request," meaning that the State's current policy is a violation of the law.
"This is a huge victory for NVRA enforcement, not just in New Mexico, but all across the country," said Project Vote's Director of Public Agency Voter Registration, Nicole Zeitler. "Agencies must give out a voter registration application form to everyone who applies for benefits, recertifies, or changes address. Federal law requires it, the Department of Justice has confirmed it, and now the federal courts are ordering it."
The voting rights groups are hailing this as the first legal ruling on the issue of whether clients must "opt in" to be offered the opportunity to register to vote. "This should be a wake-up call to other states whose agencies are still refusing to give out voter registration applications unless the client specifically asks for it," says Zeitler.
The voting rights advocates won on all fronts in yesterday's ruling. Not only did the court grant plaintiff's motion for partial summary judgment, but it also denied both HSD's and the Secretary of State's motions for summary judgment. In denying HSD's motion, the court pointed to plaintiff's allegations of years of widespread non-compliance, noting that "the Court cannot say as a matter of law that HSD has demonstrated that it has the tools in place to be compliant in the future without an injunction and Court monitoring."
"The Court hit on the exact reasons why we brought this case in the first place," says Robert Kengle, Acting Co-Director of the Lawyers' Committee's Voting Rights Project. "New Mexico's public assistance offices have been out of compliance with the NVRA for years, and nothing short of comprehensive reform, ordered and monitored by the court, will repair the damage that has been done to the voting rights of low-income New Mexicans."
In another important decision, the District Court rejected Secretary of State Herrera's claim that her office is not responsible for ensuring compliance with the NVRA in New Mexico. Relying on the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeal's decision in Harkless v. Brunner, an NVRA lawsuit filed by the same voting rights groups in Ohio, Judge Herrera agreed with the Sixth Circuit that "each state's chief election official is responsible for NVRA state compliance," and that therefore "Defendant Herrera has the obligation to prescribe the actions that the state, including HSD offices, must take to comply with Section 7."
"Courts now have repeatedly confirmed that state election officials must take responsibility for ensuring that low-income voters receive the voter registration opportunities required by federal law," said Demos' Counsel Allegra Chapman. "This decision should encourage chief election officials throughout the country to examine agency practices on voter registration, and take corrective action when needed."
The coalition of voting rights groups has been advocating for enforcement of the NVRA in several states, and settled a related claim against New Mexico's Motor Vehicles Division in July of this year. Following the groups' successful lawsuit in Missouri in 2008, voter registration applications submitted at the state's public assistance offices skyrocketed from fewer than 8,000 a year to more than 130,000 a year. More than 200,000 clients have applied to become registered voters in Ohio after a similar lawsuit was settled in that state last year.
The groups estimate that proper implementation nationwide of the NVRA's public assistance provisions could result in 2-3 million additional registrations per year.

Hi all,
I'm trying to get my N82 to play nicely with my LAN.
I can connect via W-LAN all right, however a) the DHCP client on the N82 doesn't seem to respect the domain name it is offered by the DHCP server, nor does it b) send a hostname when asking for a lease. Additionaly, c) netmask and broadcast address announced by the server are not picked up by the phone according to ifinfo.
a) results in the phone being unable to resolve unqualified hostnames, e.g. "myserver" does not resolve whereas "myserver.example.com" resolves all right.
b) does not allow my DNS to add an entry for the phone, so neither "myphone" nor "myphone.example.com" can be resolved.
Not sure about the impact of c) at the moment.
I'm pretty sure I can rule out a DHCP server misconfiguration, as both windows and linux clients pick up correct data. (I'm using ISC dhcpd-3.1.1)
Is there a way to configure the DHCP client of the N82 to send a hostname when requesting a lease from the DHCP server?
Is there a way to configure name resolution on the N82 to append a DNS suffix when given an unqualified hostname (i.e. as if "search example.com" was added to /etc/resolv.conf on Linux, or "example.com" was added as "DNS suffix for this connection" on Windows)?
If the DHCP client cannot be configured to do so, are there any other DHCP clients available for the N82 I could try?
Can I somehow get verbose output from the DHCP client to do some further debugging?
Thanks for any pointers,

Lancashire Telegraph review by Becky Lees from June 4, 2011.
A SUNDAY afternoon spent at the Kettledrum Inn was the perfect end to a busy weekend for myself and my family.
On arrival we were warmly welcomed by local residents and bar staff before making our way to the restaurant.
The dining area itself was small but segregated from the pub which served the purpose of separating the 'eaters' from the 'drinkers'.
Three of us opted for the traditional Sunday roast lunch for a reasonable price of £5.95 each.
Cooked to perfection and drizzled with gravy, the succulent beef pleased both the 'rare' and 'well-done' meat eaters.
A generous amount of roast potatoes was served boasting a golden crisp colour while maintaining a fluffy soft centre.
It has to be said, the Kettledrum's roast gained a thumbs up from all three very full eaters.
The remaining diners chose the traditional fish and chips.
Served with a slither of oozing lemon and green peas, the fish and chips proved to be another satisfying delight.
Much to our disappointment we had no room for dessert after the generous sized meals.
Instead we chose to enjoy a drink in the pub while the sun disappeared over the rolling hills.

WILMINGTON, NC (WECT) - The Cape Fear Public Utility Authority has finished repairs to six water valves as part of its "Water Quality Valve Exercise and Identification" program.
A precautionary boil water advisory was issued for the following areas while crews worked in the area:
1) All addresses between N. 4th and N. 6th Streets and between Harnett and Nixon Streets; and
2) All addresses between N. 4th and N. 8th Streets and between Harnett and Campbell Streets.
That advisory has since been lifted and water is safe for consumption.

Updated July 13, 2012 by Lindsey Henry: Members of the Sunny Jim Little League Park in Joplin are asking for help and donations to repair a shed destroyed in a fire.
Last year the park was destroyed in the tornado and while crews began restoring the field, a fire quickly burnt down one of its main structures.
The fire happened about a week ago but now park officials say they're in need of many donations in a short time period. A lawnmower, shelves and supplies were inside the new storage and bathroom building.
Board members say the community has donated several hundred dollars since the fire, but that the needs are far from being met.
"The storage building as well as the fire and obviously the rest of it was destroyed by the tornado and we made great leaps and bounds but there is still a lot of work to be done," says board member Todd Zar.
Park officials say the storage shed and bathrooms will cost about $50,000 to rebuild and that they were hoping to have everything finished in the next month.
The reason for the fire is still under investigation.
To make a donation to Sunny Jim Park mail to:Joplin South Little LeaguePO Box 4114Joplin, Missouri 64803

Reported July 6, 2012: Just as a Joplin Little League ballpark struggles to recover from last year's tornado, it now has to deal with fire damage.
An overnight fire swept through a building that housed restrooms and a storage shed at the Sunny Jim Little League ball park. It contained a lawnmower and other landscaping supplies, banners and bases.
Damage is estimated at more than $50,000.
The building was new, built after the tornado took out an earlier structure, so officials tell us this loss hits hard.
"Volunteers came out this summer and donated hundreds of hours," says Dantley Harbin, a Sunny Jim Park board member. "They helped us get this park back in shape for the kids to play this summer. To have this happen is a punch in the gut."
No word on the cause of the fire.
The park board still hopes to host a tournament at the park later this summer.
News release from the Joplin Fire Department
The Joplin Fire Department responded to a reported Structure fire at 715 E 20th at 23:40hrs (11:40pm) last night. Fire crews arrived on the scene at 23:45 hrs to find heavy smoke and fire involvement coming from a storage and restroom building at the Sunny Jim Little League ballpark. The fire cause heavy smoke and fire damage to structure. The fire was brought under control at 23:56.
The facility is owned and operated by the Joplin South Little League. The facility was not occupied at the time of the fire.
There were no injuries to fire crews during the incident. 6 Joplin Fire Units and 18 Joplin Fire personnel responded.
The cause of the fire is still under investigation at this time.

As spring turns into summer, London's West End is seeing a boom in the number of new productions, and many are turning to White Light to supply their lighting needs. The Rocky Horror Show was the first production ever supplied by the fledgling White Light back in 1971; the company has been involved with the show ever since, with White Light Group member The Moving Light Company supplying some of its first equipment to a tour of the show nine years ago. The current touring production will make a short appearance at the Queens Theatre, using Martin Professional MAC 2000s, MAC 600s, and MAC 500s in a lighting design by Michael Odam.
White Light's equipment is lluminating a range of Hollywood stars. Arriving at the Albery Theatre after a short UK tour is The Master Builder, starring Patrick Stewart in a production lit by Howard Harrison. Harrison is using the full range of ETC Source Fours plus PARs, 5kW fresnels, and four Vari*Lite® VL5s™, which are now available from The Moving Light Company. At the Comedy, Nigel Edwards is lighting Minnie Driver and Friends star Matthew Perry in David Mamet's Sexual Perversity in Chicago. White Light's equipment has also been lighting Kristin Scott Thomas in The Three Sisters at the Playhouse Theatre, in a design by Mark Henderson.
Hitchcock Blonde is transferring to the Lyric Theatre from the Royal Court complete with its acclaimed video-based design by William Dudley and lighting by Simon Corder, using a rig based around four Strand Pirouette PCs from The Moving Light Company. A White Light rig is once again occupying the Old Vic, this time lighting the RSC season of Coriolanus and The Merry Wives of Windsor, both lit by Hartley TA Kemp, who is using six Vari*Lite VL1000TS™ spotlights to help light two shows playing in rep. At the Shaftesbury, James Whiteside has lit the musical Calamity Jane.

Pros: The vehicle is tight and quiet. Gas mileage is not as advertised, but is getting better with age (now 7000 miles), averaging about 19 mpg in mixed city/highway.
Cons: The vehicle has lost the TCS/Stabilitrak/ABS and braking system twice in the past month. First time lost braking system at 70 mph. Luckily highway was empty. First fix was a patch only to have the exact same issue happen again in less than one month. Engineers "working out" the problem, suggesting that the BECM and full wiring harness should be replaced which "should" fix the problem. The "fix" is taking weeks - literally - to figure out. Not exactly inspiring.
Overall review: Should have been a great truck. Poor build quality in Mexico, and no QC meant missing seal could have resulted in major accident. Poor fix and problem happening a second time means now going for lemon law refund before the truck kills someone. What should have been the best pickup truck with combination of utility and reduced gas consumption has turned into a nightmare. Seems Toyota isn't the only one with braking issues!!

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) -- Michael Phelps won the 100 butterfly Thursday night at the Indianapolis Grand Prix after finishing second in the 100 freestyle.
It was a strange night session at the IUPUI Natatorium.
Ryan Lochte, Phelps' biggest rival, failed to qualify for the final heat for both of his events -- the 100 free and the 100 fly. Lochte won both consolation heats with a season-best 49.46 seconds in the 100 free and a career-best 52.32 in the 100 fly.
And despite splitting his trunks at the start of the 100 free, Nathan Adrian still held off the hard-charging Phelps. Adrian finished in 48.62. Phelps was next at 48.74.
Dana Vollmer dominated the women's events, winning both the 100 free and 100 fly.

Stanborough Park Seventh-day Adventist Church to welcome new pastor
10:40am Friday 21st December 2012 in News By Frazer Ansell
A newly-arrived pastor is soon taking up his post in the New Year leading an international team of five - consisting of three ministers and two volunteers - at a Garston church whose 600-plus members are made up of more than 30 different nationalities.
Pastor Jacques Venter has replaced recently-retired Pastor Paul Clee as Senior Minister at Stanborough Park Seventh-day Adventist Church in St Albans Road.
Having grown up in the coal mining countryside of Mpumalanga in South Africa, Pastor Venter, studied theology at Helderberg College, graduating in 2000.
After working as a minister in South Africa he and his wife, Lara, decided to seize the opportunity to come to England to work, arriving at the end of 2007. Since then he has continued his studies part time and is about to complete an MA degree in Youth Ministry and has pastored Adventist churches in Hemel Hempstead, St Albans and Welwyn Garden City.
He and Lara, a teacher, have two daughters.
Associate Minister, Swedish-born Pastor Karin Wieczorek, arrived at the beginning of 2012 having been working in Adventist churches in Australia for some years.
A fluent English speaker she also speaks Spanish and Polish as well as her native Swedish and has lived in America, Spain, Australia and England. Married to a Polish Seventh-day Adventist minister, who is currently extending his theological studies, she has two children and lives in Watford.
The third member of the Pastoral Team is Pastor Ivana Mendez who arrived in the autumn as the Intern Pastor.
Currently working 3-4 days a week as a church pastor this is her first appointment since qualifying as a minister.
The daughter of two doctors living in Slovenia, her husband is in his final year of theology studies and is planning to work as a Seventh-day Adventist minister too.
Like the Venters she also has "great expectations" for 2013 with her first child being due in February.
Completing the international flavour to the team are two "student missionaries", Pavle Milanovic from Serbia and Charlotte Rashleigh from Brisbane, Australia.
They are part of a large number of Adventist young people around the world who take up short-term posts within the denomination on a voluntary basis, in return for accommodation and an allowance. Pavle and Charlotte help out with church-based activities for the members as well as those for the local community.
Of his new appointment, Pastor Jacques, as he prefers to be known, said: "The lord has blessed us so far with a wonderful spiritual journey in England as part of our own life journey.
"We look forward with great excitement to joining the Pastoral Staff, Church Leadership team and members of Stanborough Park Church.
"To be part of the vibrant life of The Stanborough Centre excites us and we also hope that God will work through us as we minister his love and care to the citizens of Garston and the wider community of Watford."

Isn't that usually known as a 'job'? I get an 'allowance' for going to work and it pays for my accommodation. Does that make me a volunteer too? I mean, nobody forces me. Can I avoid paying tax too?

Andypandy, whats sad in this day and age is people with ignorant viewpoints like yours.
Hornet no12 who is 'they'? Are you talking about the three people mentioned in the article in particular or church ministers in general? Because, some US TV evangelist apart, I'm yet to find any minister who is rich. Indeed almost all the ministers I meet and see and know arent well paid, have the same financial problems as anyone else, work well in excess of the bog standard 40 hour week including well into nights and of course weekends. If you are financially motivated then becoming a minister is not the career to choose!
LSC the clue is that they are students and this is a short term thing. You're attacking work experience kids who are being given accommodation and a token amount of spendo for a few months. Good job LSC, score one for the atheists.Well done, have you given yourself a self congratulatory pat on the back yet? Woo hoo, YEAH, go team non believers. Give me an A. Give me a T. Give me a H. Give me a E. Give me a I. Give me an S. Give me an T. What have you got, NUMPTY!! Yayyyyy. Whats your next big project? Is it going to your nearest pre-school and nicking the kids dinner money and ripping the heads of their teddies?
It's a shame but it long ago ceased to be a surprise that atheists display the exact ignorance and other traits they claim (incorrectly) people of belief have.

LSC says...
Historically it was very different of course!
I also agree priests work very hard and must find themselves with some extraordinary and unusual situations, and their vocation means they can't shy away from them. I respect them for that.
But I was merely pointing out that working in exchange for physical rather than spiritual reward is a 'job', and doesn't make you a volunteer as we generally use the word.

Being given 'pocket money' to buy a can of beans and shower gel isn't extravagant, it's a human necessity and completely realistic.
And if you're still not convinced, why not wander over to Stanborough Park and spend some time with them, find out more about where they've come from and what they do...maybe in doing that you'll realise how very easy it is to cast assumptions when you don't know the person inside.
8:24am Thu 27 Dec 12
garston tony says...
If the situation was for these two 'oh, I need somewhere to stay what can I do for accommodation and to get a token amount of money? I know I'll become a student missionary' then you would be right this would be a job. But if you think that you obviously have no idea what the situation is!
I'm going to make what I believe is a pretty sound guess here that being young people they are probably still living at home and have either just completed or are mid way through education (that's the usual norm for student missionaries). As such they already have a home and do not need to do this to meet their accommodation needs. Im also pretty confident that they could earn far more financially staying at home and working in a local store or retaurant so money is not their motivation either.
Their motivation is therefore clearly not physical, they wont be leaving when their time is up with any physical gain but I'm sure they will have a spiritually rewarding time whilt there.
11:24am Thu 27 Dec 12
LSC says...
But I love my job and chose to continue. That does not make me a volunteer. It probably makes me a bit of a mug, but it is a job, nothing more.
People who volunteer, as we tend to use the word, get NOTHING physical in return. They might get a 'feel good' factor, or maybe just a reason to get up in the morning, but accomodation in Watford is not cheap, so just to get that in return for your efforts is a JOB.
2:13pm Thu 27 Dec 12
Bumbleb33 says...
You can search for the negative all you like, but your arguments are really quite ignorant LSC. These are just a couple of young people trying to give a little something back to society without starving in the process...
Let's just hope you don't work in the voluntary services, there'll be a lot more first world problems if you do!
3:47pm Thu 27 Dec 12
LSC says...
Well you quite clearly aren't reading what I post, otherwise you would know that I do exactly that. I currently have well over 100 volunteers working for me, to a greater or lesser degree. I don't give one of them food, accomodation or money.
I also employ a small number of staff, who, unlike the church, are taxed on their wages, as I am.

They'll laugth at you of course, just as who ever is reading this discussion probably is too.
It is perfectly possible and indeed in many cases reasonable to be a volunteer and get some sort of support to help you with it. In this instance, as with many many others, that assistance is somewhere to sleep and a little spending money. Its not like they already live in Watford or surrounding area, they have come from other countries to volunteer at this church. And from my own personal experiences I know that if someone volunteers to work overseas accommodation and meals at the very least provided by whoever has organised the trip or the host.
If you truly don't get this then you need to investigate the definition of volunteering. However I suspect strongly that you're refusing to acknowledge that they are volunteers as that would not sit well with your quest to have a go at religion at every possible opportunity no matter how tenuous the link may be. And that is getting all rather pathetic and tiresome.

Agents working with homeland security confiscated scores of fake gun parts from the home of a Cary woman as part of what sources tell WNCN is a larger investigation.
Using search warrants, agents swept through Jennifer Tan's home and seized scores of items from her garage.
"I sell lights, lasers and scopes," Tan told WNCN's Steve Sbraccia when he went to her home to ask about the raid.
Tan said she buys the items on the Internet and then resells them at places like gun shows.
"I don't know what they are for," she said. "I put it on the table. Whoever needs it, they take it."
The documents allege Tan is "engaged in an ongoing criminal business to import and distribute counterfeit items such as gun sights."
Tan, who says she is a nurse by trade, says she sells the items as a hobby.
"I'm just doing it for fun," she told WNCN. "When I have time a little bit, I go there."
WNCN wanted to know more about the items listed on the warrants so we took the documents to a North Raleigh gun shop.
"Some of the items I've seen on the list are very high-end items," said manager Justin Card. "Some of the rifle scopes that Trijicon manufactures for the military and civilian market can range in price from $1,200 to 2 or $3,000 dollars depending on which model you go with."
Card says there's a big business in counterfeit gun accessories.
"China is doing a lot of work to influx the U.S. market with counterfeit products like that," he explained.
Jennifer Tan claims she didn't know items she was selling were fake.
According to Card, if the confiscated items on the warrant were legit, they'd be worth a lot of money.
"You're probably talking close to $100,000 worth of merchandise these people were trying to traffic," he said.
No arrests have been made in connection with the raid.
Meanwhile, sources say the probe is continuing.

TOKYO (AP) -- Two-time defending champion Japan hit a record-tying six home runs Sunday to overpower the Netherlands 16-4 and advance to the championship round of the World Baseball Classic.
Hayato Sakamoto hit a grand slam in the seventh to make it 16-4 and the game was called under the 10-run mercy rule when the Netherlands failed to close the gap in the bottom of the inning.
Takashi Toritani led off the game with a solo homer to right for Japan's first home run of the tournament.
Nobuhiro Matsuda widened the lead to 3-0 with a two-run homer and Seiichi Uchikawa made it 6-0 with a three-run blast that knocked Netherlands starter Rob Cordemans out of the game in the second inning. Atsunori Inaba and Yoshio Itoi also homered for Japan.

WORCESTER Ś Granted, the number of championship banners for sports such as wrestling, softball and field hockey do outnumber those for boys basketball in the Methacton gymnasium.
But imagine the surprise the Warriors got when they did their early morning reading Friday and found out some scribe from a local dot-com picked sixth-seeded Methacton to lose to 27th-seeded Bensalem in the opening round of the District 1 Class AAAA playoffs.
Suitably revved over the perceived slight, the Warriors amply demonstrated just why their basketball prowess may have been a tad underrated.
Grabbing a double-digit lead in the first quarter and maintaining it the rest of the way, Methacton ran roughshod over the Owls, 67-49, in a game that only got relatively close in garbage time.
Methacton advances to the second round of districts, where it will host 11th-seeded Souderton, a victor over Pennsbury Friday in another district contest.
ōWhen we saw that Bensalem was picked to beat us, that made us mad,ö said Warriors senior Brendan Casper, who had 16 points, 10 rebounds, three assists and three steals in the romp. ōWeÆre no joke.ö
ōThe kids were talking about it in the shoot-around (Friday) morning,ö said Methacton head coach Jeff Derstine. ōTraditionally, (the boys basketball program) hasnÆt been a power in District 1.
ōBut we have a solid team.ö
A solid team that knew what it needed to do to get past Bensalem, and did so impressively.
ōI think we executed our game plan as well as we could,ö said senior forward Matt Forrest, who had 16 points of his own, including a quartet of treys. ōWe wanted to slow (Bensalem) down, and we were able to do that.
ōWeÆre not a team that runs up and down the court.ö
ōThat was the plan, to make them play half-court and to not let them out in transition getting easy shots,ö Casper said.
Forrest opened the first-quarter scoring with a three, and the Warriors never looked back. In fact, Methacton actually flashed a little transition of its own early when a Forrest steal and solo put the home team up, 7-0, midway through the quarter.
It didnÆt get much better for the Owls, who saw CasperÆs baseline drive put the Warriors up, 12-2, and moments later a Sean Mann three-ball increased the Methacton lead to 17-4.
By the middle of the second quarter the Warriors enjoyed a 19-point bulge following a pair of Anthony OÆBrien free throws, and went into the break in front, 35-19.
At the break, Derstine cautioned his team that the Owls would come out swinging from the heels at the outset of the second half.
The Warriors responded with a 9-0 run to open the third period, and any thoughts of that prediction of an upset coming true were in the rear-view mirror.
ōWe swing the ball really well,ö Forrest said, ōand weÆre always looking for people who are shooting with confidence. Everyone was shooting with confidence tonight, which helped.ö
The Methacton lead stayed in the 20s for the bulk of the second half. And with their point made, the Warriors called off the dogs and began thinking about Round Two.
ōWe executed our game plan, played four quarters and played great team basketball,ö Derstine said. ōWe knew how explosive Bensalem was, and we didnÆt want them getting out and running.
ōAnd I have to give some credit to (Warriors guard) Joe Ruhl, who did a great job defensively on (Bensalem guard) Leo Vincent. VincentÆs a 1,000-point scorer and very dangerous and Joe took on the challenge and played real well defensively.ö
Now the focus shifts to Souderton, a team that defeated Methacton earlier this year.
ōWeÆre going to have our hands full,ö Derstine said, ōbut our kids are confident.ö
And another prediction of an upset is welcome.
