Get several quotes on the car you want to buy. If you go to a Chevy dealer and they say they can give you the car you want for $20,000, for example, leave and go to another Chevy dealer. Tell them what the other offers on the table are for the car and see who can beat it. If you've got three or four dealers competing for your business, one of them will want the sale bad enough to give you the lowest price. You can also get multiple car quotes by emailing the dealer.

Q: I recently purchased a car and now lost one of my jobs. My car is financed and I'm having a huge problem maintaining the payments. I have never missed a payment or been late but it's getting very difficult every month. Please advise me on my options. Although I need a car I would be ok at this point with purchasing a used car. My payment is $450 a month. My interest is very high, like 19%. It's a Hyundai Tiburon 2008 and I didn't put a down payment. I traded in my last vehicle, which was a 2006 Elantra, a year ago.
A: Start by contacting your lender to explain your situation to them. They may refer you back to your selling dealer to see about your options in downgrading to a vehicle that fits your new budget. Additional cash down from savings may be the ticket to lowering your auto expense and acquiring another vehicle.
Also, if the job that you lost was the main basis in your loan approval, they may assist you with a plan that will defer your entire monthly payments or a plan that pays for the intere

CYPRESS, Texas—With school already canceled, 9-year-old McKenzie Diggs was really hoping for snow. But despite weather predictions, only sleet and rain fell out of the sky Tuesday morning.
"I was really disappointed," she said.
So her father rented a snow machine and brought in 400 pounds of snow in bags.
"My kid wanted a snow day," said Charlie Diggs . "So I decided to make it a snow day."
Diggs dumped out the snow in a park in the Fairfield subdivision and fired up the snow machine. Within minutes, he created a miniature winter wonderland.
Word quickly spread on Facebook and neighbors came to enjoy the faux snow storm.
"He gets the father of the year award," said Michelle Cole, a mom who lives down the street. "The kids got excited, it sleet a little bit, but nothing stuck. We want the kids to have fun."
Children made snowmen, snow balls and snow angels. And McKenzie got her wish.
"It's awesome," she said.
This will be one snow storm these kids will remember for years to come.

Three people were injured in a one-car accident on March 1 at Elk-Chattaroy and Tallman roads.
According to Spokane County Sheriff's Department collision investigator Deputy J. Thurman, the vehicle was traveling west on Elk-Chattaroy Road when it drove onto the shoulder of the roadway. The driver was not able to negotiate the vehicle back onto the road and struck a large tree head-on.
The family of four was not wearing their seatbelts which contributed to their injuries, he said.
Two helicopters were required to transport an adult female and juvenile female to a local medical facility. A juvenile male was transported by ambulance to a local medical facility. The three injured passengers were listed in serious condition.
Investigators believe alcohol was not a factor in the accident.

Cruise is the young athlete Ron Kovic, an idealistic and patriotic American who joins the Marines to fight in the Vietnam War. When he gets there, his brash eagerness is diluted by horror when he accidentally kills one of his own men. The pains in his heart are compounded by a bullet wound that leaves him paralyzed from the chest down. Returning home, he steadfastly clings to his national spirit, which puts him in conflict with the populace's growing aversion to the mess in Vietnam. He winds up in Mexico as a tormented drunkard, then reforms and becomes an anti-Vietnam activist, writing the autobiographical book on which this movie is based.
This movie is tremendously powerful because of its acute historical significance, strong anti-war message, and Tom Cruise's stunning acting. The movie is sad and wrenching, but it ends with an uplifting note of someone who rises above the pain and hate to a stronger condition. This is Oliver Stone's best film, I think. I also love the score by John Williams; the movie's theme does an incredible job evoking the feelings behind some of America's most painful years.

National Guard Panther Racing Team Owner John Barnes a Lincoln Tech Graduate, Hall of Famer
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. - (March 29, 2013) – Two-time IndyCar Series Champion Panther Racing announced today it has extended its relationship with Lincoln Technical Institute for the 2013 IndyCar Series season, which kicks off this Sunday at the Grand Prix of St. Petersburg. Lincoln Tech has been associated with Panther Racing since 2006 and John Barnes, the team's Managing Partner and CEO, is a Lincoln Tech graduate and a member of the Lincoln Tech Hall of Fame.
"Lincoln Tech has been a part of the Panther family for a long time, and we couldn't be prouder that they will continue their association with the team again this year," Barnes said. "Being a graduate myself, and having employed several Lincoln Tech graduates over the years, I can assure you it's the best technical school in the country. Additionally, we're excited to continue to try to find ways to involve Lincoln Tech in Panther Racing's 'Operation: Hire Our Guard' program, so we can all work together to train and employ all the unemployed Veterans in the country."
Lincoln Tech originally partnered with Panther during the 2006 IndyCar season, including as a primary sponsor for many races during the second-half of the season, and has continued its relationship with the team for the past six years. The organization has a diverse offering of course programs, and graduates find job opportunities in an equally wide array of fields, from automotive, computer networking, criminal justice, culinary, dental and business administration to electronics, massage therapy, nursing and a little of everything in between.
"At the Lincoln Group of Schools, we offer a broad range of options for people who want to launch exciting new careers," explains Piper Jameson, Lincoln's Executive Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer. "The professions we train for are the careers that build America—and Automotive Technology has been a cornerstone of our offerings for many years. We're excited to be partnering again with Panther Racing and combining our tradition of automotive training excellence with Panther's history of excellence on the track. It's a partnership that really embodies everything exceptional about the two organizations."
Panther Racing kicks off the 2013 IndyCar Series season on March 24 with the Grand Prix of St. Petersburg in a season that will be highlighted by the 97th Running of the Indianapolis 500 Mile Race on May 26th. All IndyCar Series races are broadcast on either the NBC Sports Network or ABC.

Happy reading
You misunderstood me: I *know* what a distortion is, I just didn't read any *review* that says the lens has a problem with it. Dpreview & KR have no review yet, Photozone: "At 24 mm the lens shows a heavy amount of barrel distortion (~3.8%), which flips over to a slight pincushion type (~0.8%) at 70mm. In the middle range the distortions are marginal. "
Of course there a dozens and dozens of user reviews out there - but given the poor Tamron quality control many people "test" a bad sample and generalize their findings. I'd rather rely on a professional reviewer who replaces a lens if he discovers unexpected problems. Btw, even a moustache distortion could be corrected with the correct lens profile, it's just a question how much quality is lost.

About 1,200 people are expected to attend this year's Enterprise 2.0 show, set to begin Monday in Boston, a rise of about 20 percent, according to the conference's organizer, Steve Wylie.
"I think there's a lot of people who want to get up to speed and act on it," he said.
Enterprise 2.0, according to the man often associated with the phrase, Harvard Business School professor Andrew McAfee, is defined as "the use of emergent social software platforms within companies, or between companies and their partners or customers."
The conference is placing more emphasis this year on customer use cases, with presentations scheduled from Pfizer, Sony and others.
It wasn't as difficult this year to find solid case studies, Wylie noted, which could be a sign of the market's maturity.
And one prediction has the space ready to explode. Forrester Research recently said that enterprise spending on technologies such as social-networking platforms and RSS feeds will grow to $4.6 billion by 2013, from $764 million in 2008.
However, other data suggests many enterprises are generally interested in employing social software in a business context but are confused about how to do it.
A recent study by the research firm AIIM found that while nearly half of respondents said Enterprise 2.0 is "imperative or significant to corporate goals and objectives," 74 percent said they have "only a vague familiarity or no clear understanding" of the concept.
And some companies are still too busy to care.
Vince Biddlecombe, CTO of Transplace, a Frisco, Texas, company that sells logistics software and services, said the company's technical team has been consumed recently with meat-and-potatoes projects involving virtualization and business intelligence.
"In terms of the social networking and stuff like that, to be honest, we haven't even thought of it," he said.
"It could be useful," Biddlecombe allowed. "The nature of what we do is very collaborative and our ecosystem is very broad. But the honest truth is, we haven't had time to even look at it."
Vendors, in contrast, are fairly bullish, describing the market as having reached a modest level of maturity with room to grow.
"In the marketplace we're definitely seeing a lot more traction, a lot more interest. ... Companies are beginning to figure out you can't just innovate at the product and service level. You have to innovate at every level of your business process," said Tim Young, CEO of Socialcast, one of the many makers of "white label" social networking platforms in the market.
Oracle is finding that customers now generally understand the "better phone book" type of benefits that Facebook-style applications can provide and are now looking to push the concept deeper into their workflows, said Vince Casarez, vice president of product management for Oracle's Fusion Middleware division.

Freddie Freeman hit a two-run walk-off homer in the ninth, helping the Atlanta Braves clinch one of two N.L. Wild Card spots with a 4-3 win over the Miami Marlins Tuesday at Turner Field. It was Freeman's 22nd blast of the season.
The bottom of the ninth started with a double to right-center field by Chipper Jones, off reliever Mike Dunn, who blew his fifth save this year. Freeman took his turn and Dunn threw a wild pitch, which moved Jones to third. With a 1-1 pitch, Freeman sent it to deep center field to end the game -- giving the Braves a new ticket to the postseason, one year after a disappointing collapse.
This was the 22nd consecutive win for Atlanta in a game started by Kris Medlen, who allowed three runs and fanned eight in seven innings. Craig Kimbrel earned the win after tossing a shutout ninth inning with one hit and a strikeout.

Changes could be coming to how you care for your pets in Lee County. a proposal heads to leaders tomorrow. Animal services want to make it illegal for you to tether or chain animals outside 24-7, and they want to prohibit permanent penning of animals in zoned residential areas.
This does not apply to pet owners using a leash to supervise animals for recreational purposes. Experts say chained dogs suffer immense psychological damage--and can become aggressive.
"I think it's a great idea because so many of these dogs are not well taken care of. You can tell they look dirty and they don't have clean water when they're out," said dog owner Sally Knoll.
Animal services investigate more than 800 chained dog complaints a year. Collier County already has a similar ordinance in place.

The restaurant is solid: good, eclectic European food prepared by German Chef Hubert. Brunch on the weekends is wonderful, featuring the best bloddy mary in town. It's also one of the few places where you'll find Bitburger on tap.
However, better than the restaurant is the wine cellar. They offer a pretty extensive selection of wine, and a rather wide range of domestic and import craft beers. You can build your own six pack, or enjoy a beer right there at one of the tables in the cellar--along with dishes from the main restaurant if you like.
The Spagio cellar is where I often go when beer shopping, as they offer a good selection that is often infused with new, hard-to-find product.

I came into town to visit my dad and bless him he went about to show me all the beer places he found. This place is in a really nice part of Grandview in a cool strip mallish area. Spagio is more of a restaurant that has a nice grocery part with lots of wine and some beer. A decent collection of beer probably 50 different signles and sixers. They were sorted nicely by country and style which is nice. However, the quality of the beer is only average, nothing outside the mediorce beer store or nicer grocery store.
A cool place to hang out for drinks or dinner but not a place to come to just get beer unless you are within walking distance.

It was a nice day and I had some time to kill so I took a short drive to Grandview Ave.
This place is located on the side of the street amongst lots of other eateries and Grandview attractions. Between the Wine Cellars and their pizzeria, Spagio occupies most of this block of restaurants.
There is a smallish patio crammed with tables to dine alfresco. These tables were pretty filled up because of the nice weather. Inside there is more seating which, for the exception of one table were all vacant.
The interior is neat. It appears to be very old with original creeky hardwood flooring and chandeliers and the like. It was very dimly lit and I was mostly focused on looking at beer.
There are wine racks all over the walls. The beer coolers are in the back along the left wall. There really isnt much in the way of macros which is good. The first few doors are bombers divided by country. Nice selections of German beers as well as some surprising Belgians.
The rest of the cooler is filled with 6-packs. Every bottle is individually priced so they are all fair game for creating a mixed 6-pack.
The gentleman working there came to ask me if I had anything in mind that I would like to find. He said they can take orders for beers or wines and try to have them stocked. I didnt need any help but it wouldnt be hard to get some if need be.
Some beer highlights were Urthel Hop-it, Duchess, nearly every Weihenstephan, Thomas Hardy's and some KBS!!
I picked up the last 4 pack of KBS leaving two orphans still in the cooler for the next lucky shopper.
Prices seemed to be a bit high. KBS was $6.99 a bottle, Thomas Hardy was about $10.99 a single and Shlitz Gusto was $3.99 a single!!
I might visit here again but if I do it will be to sample some beers there and maybe check out their food.

This was the fourth stop on a four stop beer store tour of Columbus (From the Vine, The Andersons, Kenny Road Market, and Spagio's Cellars).
A mostly wine bar with an emphasis on epicurian pursuits. I did not eat here. It's mostly wine with all beer in the cooler.
They had a large table of people dining right by the beer cooler and I felt a bit intrusive bending down to look in the cooler and opening the door while they were eating.
All their beer was the high-quality variety. I stumbled upon two bottles of Three Floyds Anniverary X ale. FFF is not sold in Ohio so this was unexpected. The clerk told me they were well connection. When I asked about Black Albert (which From the Vine had) he told me he could call the distributor and get it. I left it as that as I wish it was that simple. Throw in some Black Ops while you're at it.
The FF were $13.99 a bottle which is steep but I appreciate the uniqueness of them offering this.

Went to Spagio's Cellar a little while ago with my wife and a friend of ours (another BA). I can't believe I have not yet submitted a review for this one. The idea of the cellar is pretty neat. You just sit down at a table where the waiter will bring you any item from the limited menu. It is mainly appetizers, cheeses, and pizzas. A much smaller menu than the restaurant Spagio. They have mostly wine obviously, but there are about 7 or 8 large windowed coolers that have beers from all around the world with country labels above their location in the window. Just walk up and grab a bottle and take it back to your table. The server will come around open it and pour into the proper glassware for you. We spent most of the afternoon drinking great beer and eating some fine cheese.

I decided to go here for my last night out in Columbus. I was pleasantly surprised. We went immediately for the cellar portion of the restaurant because of my beer nerdiness. Just driving up to the place told us it was in an upper middle class part of town with a bunch of trendy eateries and nice houses. Upon entering you notice the plethora of wines and lots of artsy decor. This isn't an insult at all either, I thought the place was very nice and the kind of restaurant that I would like to frequent. I spent a long time looking through the beer cooler to decide what I wanted to go with. Since I already spent a ton of dough on bottled beer at the nearby distributors, I went with a single bottle of Gulden Carolus. It was $3.99. I eventually broke down and bought a 4 pack of Blackout Stout because I won't be getting it for awhile or anytime back in PA. I took the beer out of the cooler and sat it down on the table and the waitor quickly brought me a nice Unibroue glass and poured it. We shared the cheese board and a vegetable pizza. Both were perfect and just enough food. The pizza was cooked in a wood burning oven. The cheeses were Brie, Chevre, 70%Brie30%Bleu blend, 3 yr old Gouda, and a spanish cheese. The board also came with bread, apple butter, dried apricots, grapes & dried figs. It was very nice. $12.50. The service was prompt, but we were kind of waiting awhile for our check at the end of the night. Mayeb the waitor just didn't want to bother us. The selection was great for beer and the food was just right for a nice dinner. The beer wasn't overpriced at all (maybe by $1) compared to local distributors, which was comforting because we were buying it from a restaurant. This was by far my best experience for dinner/beer in Columbus. It was just my kind of place.

Spagio Cellars is attached to the main restaurant of Spagio in the Grandview neighborhood of Columbus. Parking can be a little tricky on the street, although they have a number of spots behind the building.
Very cozy atmosphere - a pleasant place to be in both summer and winter. Low ceilings, dimmed lighting, with wine, beer, and cigars lining the walls.
Extensive collection of beverages. The wine is their featured selection, but their beer choices don't disappoint. All bottles, but a wide selection. Plenty of domestic microbrews and imports from Asia and Europe. Almost all of their bottles are priced individually, for consumption on or off the premises.
The staff is incredibly knowledgeable on their wine, and while I've never tested them on their beer, I'm sure they know quite a bit.
Food is excellent. They have a limited menu in the Cellars, but you can walk over into the restaurant (which is great, too) and purchase some of their fantastic desserts to eat in the Cellars.
Highly recommended place for food and drink in Columbus. It's hopping every weekend night, and they're open fairly late.

Atmosphere: Just like others have said. Very much a wine bar but it has nice wood seats and big tables to sit and talk. Nicely done candles and lighting around the cellar.
Quality: They must have expanded the beer selection b/c I was very impressed. A nice selection of many English beers, Stone, and GLBC. Many seasonals in there as well. They are all sitting in the cooler so they are WAY too cold but I didn't see too many macros so that was cool.
Service: Pretty good even though it's serve your self on the beer. You just grab a bottle and they bring a glass to your table. They have some pretty cool glasses which showcased my selections very nicely.
Selection: Again, plenty of good things to choose from. I imagine if I came here often, I would quickly get through all of them, but I was very impressed. I didn't see any macros and they had a great selection of things that you don't see everyday.
Food: Lost points here just because the selection is limited. But the pizzas and cheeses are very good.
This place doesn't claim to be anything other than a wine/beer cellar. It is what it is. That being said, it fills it's niche very nicely.

The Spagio Cellars is located adjacent to the Spagio Restaurant in Grandview. Grandview is a nice little town near downtown Columbus. Spagio Cellars is located in an area of small eclectic shops (upscale hair dressers, art stores, an indy movie theater etc) and your parking options are either street or a small lot.
The Cellars has a wine bar feel, and you can tell they cater to wine sales and events (there was a tasting going on that night as a matter of fact). The central seating area has a lot of wood and candles and it is all surrounded by racks of wine that they sell. They do have a cooler section devoted to beer though. There is also a small bar where you can order drinks from the restaurant, and I did hear that you could buy beer or wine and drink it there which is pretty cool.
The beer is all cold, and aside from the usual macros and micros (Sierra Nevada, Young's, Chimay) you normally find, they had some regional selections from GLBC, Bluegrass etc.
I can't say much about the service in the Cellars because we were just looking at the selection while a wine/cheese event was going on around us, but our service in the restaurant was very good.
I am including a food score even though technically you can only buy cheese at the Cellars. There is a walkway connecting the Cellars and the restaurant, and it is definitely worth eating there if you make the visit. Spagio has amazing food. Smoked Chicken in creamy garlic sauce and wood-fired pizza were both excellent.

The JU softball team will look to bounce back to its winning ways after struggling earlier in the week as it travels to Fort Meyers, Fla. to take on Florida Gulf Coast for a three-game series starting Saturday.
The Dolphins (30-12, 11-5 A-Sun) had their nine-game winning streak snapped on Wednesday when they were swept by A-Sun foe Stetson in a doubleheader. The offense that had powered the Dolphins to the nine consecutive wins and much of the season was absent as the team combined for just seven hits and two runs in the two games.
Despite the dropping the two conference games, JU still sits alone in second place in the conference standings trailing only the nationally ranked USC Upstate Spartans.
JU ranks near the top of the conference in almost every offensive statistic including leading the league in home runs with 44. Senior catcher Sarah Simon leads the team with a .381 average, 34 RBI, and 14 home runs.
The Eagles (27-15, 8-6 A-Sun) are the defending conference regular season and tournament champions but come into the weekend also having dropped its last two games, both on the road to Kennesaw State.
Leading the offensive charge for the Eagles is junior catcher Chelsea Zgrabik. She is batting .325 on the season with 14 home runs and an impressive 51 RBI.
The two teams met three times last season with FGCU winning them all. JU however held a lead going into the final half inning of play in every one of those games.
Saturday's doubleheader is scheduled to begin at 2 p.m. Sunday's single game is set for 1 p.m.

I didn't know what to expect from cruising, or from Carnival, this being our first cruise. Let me first say that the service was beyond belief. Everyone smiled, was friendly and helpful, and cleaning staff we'd barely seen always greeted us, often by name. The wait staff in the dining area was amazing, and we'll miss Jayadi, Gusti and Kristian very much.
Carnival is about fun, Fun, FUN!!! and if that's your game, you'll find plenty to do. My wife and I are more low-key, though, and I was worried we'd be swarmed by the fun-seekers. Quite the contrary. There are places to find quiet, not least was our balcony. We paid just a little extra to get one of the few double-wide balconies, and I recommend it highly. We wound up losing a couch in the cabin, due to the layout, but in exchange, we had our our deck chair on the balcony, as well as two chairs and a table. A great place to sip wine and watch the ocean.
The decor of the ship matches the fun, Fun, FUN!!! attitude, and at first it struck us as a bit over the top. But it's kinda like Vegas- after a few days, you expect to see garish decor. The rooms, thankfully, are simple and appropriate.
The food was outstanding, highlighted by the Steakhouse dinner. We were given a free bottle of wine as we booked the steakhouse the first night. All of the steaks were cooked perfectly, even my order for "blue" (below rare), which was tender and warm throughout.
Announcements were often missed, as our the only speakers that worked in our room were in the bathroom, and those only used for the muster drill. We would have to scurry to open the hall door sometimes to catch important information: for instance, when our stop at Roatan was cancelled due to high winds.
Other than the winds at Roatan, we lucked out on the weather. A few cloudbursts, but nothing that interrupted any of our shore excursions. The ports (Costa Maya in Cozumel, Belize City, Grand Caymans) were virtually indistinguishable, sadly. They all seemed to sell the same "mayan" bags (made in China), Tortugas rum cakes (#1 souvenir for Cozumel, Belize AND Grand Cayman), and Diamond International shop of over-priced bling. If you're going to do some shopping, get away from the ports and go find something local. We never had enough time, regrettably.
Carnival did, as they try, exceed our expectations in nearly every regard, and we will definitely cruise with them again. We may look at other cruise lines just for comparison, but we were thrilled with the value we had for our vacation.

Peyton Manning talks about Clyde Christensen, the man who is working as Indy's current offensive coordinator.
Larry Keenan, executive director of the NFL coaches association, provides more updates on when Tom Moore and Howard Mudd could return to the Colts.
Peyton Manning is not a happy camper about how the Colts have handled the Tom Moore and Howard Mudd coaching situations.
Owner Jim Irsay confirmed Wednesday he plans to bring back Moore and Mudd, each of whom retired last week because of concerns with the NFL's pension program. They are expected to return as consultants, perhaps by the start of training camp, which opens Aug. 2. ... According to Larry Kennan, executive director of the NFL coaches association, Mudd, 67, is under the impression a retired coach must wait six months from the time he files his retirement documents to assume a paid consultant's role. That would make it mid-November before he and Moore, 70, could return. It might be possible for them to return earlier as unpaid consultants until they were allowed to be added to the team's payroll.The Indy Star's Mike Chappell on when the Colts might expect Tom Moore and Howard Mudd to return as consultants to the team. Tip to AussieColtsFan.
That's the million-dollar question, and I'll be honest: if I had an answer, I'd have written it already. It's a question I expect will be asked of Colts President Bill Polian and Colts Chief Executive Officer Jim Irsay often in the coming weeks — at least until there is an answer. There's been something in me since the beginning of the process saying I just couldn't believe this pension issue would force the duo away. It just seemed silly that some solution involving money and . . . and . . . and, well, money — could be reached if all parties really wanted Moore and Mudd to stay."Indy Football Report and Colts.com writer John Oehser on the question of whether Howard Mudd and Tom Moore will return to the Colts as consultants.

The Phoenix City Council voted Wednesday night to cut the city's 2-percent food tax in half.
The vote was 8-1 in favor of the reduction.
The tax will go from 2 percent to 1 percent, or 1 cent of every dollar. Some people say that doesn't sound like much -- but to struggling families, that adds up.
The tax started in 2010 and has been a bitter issue between council members and the mayor. It was enacted because the city had a huge budget shortfall at the time.
The food tax reduction would begin in January 2014 and will continue through January 2015, when it will expire.
FOX 10's Linda Williams explains.

Apple killed the Keyboard Dock for a new stand
Mar 3, 2011, 10:14 AM
Anyone noticed Apple has a new iPad stand? The keyboard dock is dead!
Mar 3, 2011, 12:52 PM
What are you talking about? The smart covers?
I wonder if the keyboard dock is compatible with the new iPad.
Mar 3, 2011, 01:13 PM
It's still showing (http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC533LL/B?fnode=MTc0MjU4NjE&mco=MTczNzY0MzA) in the online store, ships in 1-2 business days, currently.
Mar 4, 2011, 05:15 AM
Smart covers won't kill the iPad keyboard dock.
Clue being, Smart covers are neither docks, nor keyboards. Plus smart covers are iPad 2 only. They'll still sell 1st gen stuff.
Mar 4, 2011, 01:00 PM
Yeah, I've noticed this to. I bought the keyboard dock a few days prior to the iPad 2 launch (yupp, I'm stupid. But I can afford my behaviour :rolleyes:). Fingers crossed that the iPad 2 will fit in the "old" keyboard dock...
Mar 4, 2011, 02:10 PM
...so with the keyboard dock dead, how about Apple actually use all the f-keys on Bluetooth keyboards?
Mar 4, 2011, 03:26 PM
...so with the keyboard dock dead, how about Apple actually use all the f-keys on Bluetooth keyboards?
I was thinking this exact thing earlier today. Apple eliminated the keyboard dock, and are actively showing the Bluetooth keyboard as an iPad 2 accessory. One would think they would update 4.3 to better take advantage of all the buttons. I wonder if anyone can try it with 4.3. If not, it is certainly something they should "button up" (pun intended)

Blackburn yobs go on damage spree at old hospital doctors' homes (From Blackburn Citizen)

Blackburn yobs go on damage spree at old hospital doctors' homes
11:00am Friday 31st August 2012 in News By Vanessa Cornall, Crime reporter
YOBS have gone on a wrecking spree in homes once occupied by doctors in Blackburn.
Groups of up to 15 teenagers have been gathering in Infirmary Close, opposite the old hospital, to break into the houses and flats owned by East Lancashire Hospitals Trust.
They smashed windows, ripped out fire places, smashed down doors, set mail alight, ripped up floorboards, pulled out wiring, threw mattresses downstairs and burnt furniture left in the properties.
More than 10 homes have been targeted since doctors left three weeks ago.
Residents living close to the street said the problem had become so bad over the last few days they feared for their own properties.
Mum-of-two Diane Hawkins, 23, of Ivy Street, Blackburn, which backs on to Infirmary Close, said: "Whenever a house is left derelict around here the local kids pounce on it and break in.
"It makes me scared to leave my own house in case they get in here while I'm out."
Fellow Ivy Street resident Tammy Carrington, 34, said: "The kids have caused a real problem over the last few days.
"I have had to call the fire brigade and the police several times after spotting smoke and flames near the old doctors homes.
"The kids have been throwing furniture out of the windows and then setting it on fire. Its disgraceful, the parents should be doing more to stop their kids acting up."
The properties are due to be auctioned in Manchester next month by The Auction People.
PC Scott Boast, of South West Blackburn Neighbourhood Policing Team, said: "We have received many complaints over the last three days and one resident even managed to catch the youths on film with their mobile phone.
However, the footage is not clear enough to make out faces.
"I now urge anyone who knows anything about the damage to contact police.
"In the meantime we have increase patrols."
The cost of the damage has been described as 'extensive' by East Lancashire NHS Hospital Trust and is expected to run into the thousands.
Martin Morgan, director of estates and facilities, said: "The trust can confirm that we are aware of break-ins to a number of trust properties around the Infirmary Road area in Blackburn. The properties are empty and are currently up for sale.
"The properties have been secured and the police are investigating the incident."
Ewood ward Coun Maureen Bateson said: "The fact young people have felt it necessary to cause so much damage to these properties is totally unacceptable.
"It is a shame the owner of the property didn't learn from all the damage that was done to the old Infirmary building. If these properties had been secured properly this could have been prevented."
Anyone with information about the damage should call police on 101.

The number of traffic wardens is on the increase though. Hopefully they will plough the revenue collected from parking tickets back into policing.

RupertsReason says...
These words of wisdom by Councillor Maureen Bateson are sure to help the situation.
If i'm right in reading what you have said there, the whole fault of this is down to the owners of the property not taking heed from other counts of mindless, needless and as yet, uncountered vandalism, and not the same group of feral, wily, abusive, disrespectful young vandals that saunter around the whole Infirmary area doing what they want, when they want?
No doubt Maureen, you'll spout the usual rhetoric of prevention being the better cure. Good point. However. If these gangs had been brought to justice for wrecking the Hospital in the first place, then maybe they wouldn't have touched these houses. Good policing is stopping the crime from happening as much as catching the criminals after the fact.

Am sure that my 16.0Megapixel Night-vision camera won't be good enough.
Of course there is a security firm keeping watch but the last time the Police were called on a Sunday lunchtime, it took them nearly an hour to respond!

Errr no, its a shame that people have to board up their properties to prevent this happening. Its a shame the local councillors and police don't do more about the feral youths freely causing the damage.
If it has been going on for days and a resident has had the time to film them then surely it wouldn't take a rocket scientist to work out that maybe a patrol car could pass the properties on a regular basis throughout the evening to catch them in the act.

When the houses were vacated, common sense dictated that they needed to be totally secured, or the services of a security employee deployed.
Which would/will now cost more? Just another added expense to the NHS Trust.
In the report, it says that groups of up to 15 have been seen hanging about - one call to the Police should have sorted it, IF the Police responded immediately which is not always the case.
Learn indeed
