Testing the Nitto Motivo All Season Ultra High Performance Tire
By Tom Paule
"Hey, want to do some tire testing for Nitto next week?" is what the voice on the phone says. "Hey, want to come with us and shred some tires driving someone else's car" is what I hear. I'm at max vacation days at work, and this is a great excuse to get out of the office, so I say "I'm in – just tell me when to be there." and hung up the phone. The details were to spend a day at Cal Speedway to evaluate three different Nitto tires with fellow drivers Formula D pilot Mike Essa and the incomparable Tyler McQuarrie, putting the Nitto NT05s, Invos and all new All Season Motivos through some very tough courses to evaluate each at their limits.
The tires would be evaluated on three identical Jaguar XFs shod with the same size tire (245/40R19) in each of the Nittos. This car was picked as it had the same stock tire size that each of the three Nittos were available in. Immediately I thought I knew the results, but I tossed out my pre-determined bias and decided to let the tires do the talking. Our job was to drive the tires through three tests, the first a wet course consisting of a 0-60 full throttle romp, followed by an immediate transition to full braking with ABS activation, then a left turn with a max speed of 25-30MPH, then a nearly immediate right hand turn and another full throttle stomp for 100 feet then braking under ABS to a full stop – all in the wet. The second test was a high-speed six cone slalom and lastly was a 200 foot radius figure eight.
We had a water truck at our disposal for the entire day, and we had it keep the first course as wet as possible. For the most part puddles were not forming due to the slight grade of the pavement that we were on and the overall smoothness of the pavement, but the tires were already starting to show some impressive results.
The dry condition biased max performance NT05 was a surprise with its minimalistic tread employing only two major grooves. This tire was designed for maximum dry grip. We were amazed that it actually had a lot of grip in the wet. Even with the water not allowing much temperature build up in the tire, it gripped much more than expected in the wet. At the limit in the water, the NT05 would remind us of its dry biased roots, once it did let go, it did so completely and recovery took some driver skill and countersteering to bring the car back under control. An interesting note was that the NT05 had better wet grip than the stock all season tires on the car!

What do we really have to hang onto when it comes to Campbell? Is he or can he lead us to the promised land? God, I hope so, but my gut and what I've seen says no. Cutler may be turnover prone, but who isn't?
So which comes first? Are we going to be screaming because Jason has won us a Super Bowl or are we going to be screaming for his head? I'll let you answer that.
Are we saying "Please don't trade Jason" simply because we don't want to emulate Snyder and just keep changing things? What's really going to change? Are we going to be better? Probably. Are we going to be worse? Not a chance.
So I say go for it. We literally have nothing to lose.
I'm a fan either way, and I always will be. It's my curse.

April 27, 2006
Albany - State laws requires young children be restrained in a car seat, but car seats aren't cheap. So many parents buy second hand car seats at yard sales, consignment shops or from other parents who don't use theirs anymore. That could be a deadly mistake.
Like many on-the-go parents, Ross Cook buckles and unbuckles his daughter Kylie countless times a week and knows all the safety precautions to take.
"You want to make sure the lock is across the chest, and it's locked tightly between their legs," said Cook.
But he didn't know he made a dangerous mistake by buying a used car seat.
"One of our friends had one that was in good condition. So we bought it from him. But in hindsight, I should have gotten a brand new one because they ended up actually being in an accident with that car seat. Nothing happened, but you look back and think what if something did."
"This is your child's life," said Michele Demott.
Michele Demott, with Safe Communities Now, says parents should never buy a used car seats.
"You simply don't know if all the parts are available with the seat and if those parts are the correct parts." And you can't tell if there's ever been a recall on the car seat and if the problem was fixed.
Demott says seats are only good for five years because the straps, foam and plastic degrade over time.
"You certainly don't know if the seat has ever been involved in a crash. We have come across seats that on the surface appeared to be perfectly fine but with the covers removed, we've found that they've actually been involved in a crash. Were that seat to be involved in another crash though, it could be potentially lethal for the child," said DeMott.
It's a lesson Cook almost learned the hard way.
"It's definitely worth it when it comes to your child's safety," said Cook.
His next car seat was brand new and worth every penny because it's protecting his only child.
Parents, you don't have to buy the most expense car seat. The government mandates all seats on the market meet regulated safety requirements.

text: It is very ironic that a referee named Triplette misses a trip. This was a key point in the game and you have to wonder if Jeff Triplette should be an NFL referee. I know referees have a very difficult job and they are human, but reversing a call like this on the field should question the competency of the referee. The call on the field was down by contact. There was no indisputable evidence that Chapman did not trip BJGE. In fact there was more indisputable evidence that Chapman did in fact trip BJGE as he stumbled toward the goal line. Further there have been pictures circulating on the internet showing in fact Chapman did trip BJGE. So how does this call get overturned. The explanation from Triplette was he only reviewed the play to check on contact at the goal line. Triplette failed to look at the whole play which was confined to about a 3-4 yard area. This is an epic brain shutdown. And that is why the NFL should question whether Triplette has the competency to be an NFL referee. Btw, Triplette was involved in another serious blunder the prior week at the end of the Redskin game related to the 1st down marker being moved erroneously. Jeff, you've had a couple tough weeks. Take a vacation.

Awful lost ........time to regroup and move on.
What's it going to take to win the division? What's it going to take to clinch a playoff spot?
12 or 11 Wins? Does 10 wins plus winning all the division home games cut it?
Who's left to play?
Cards =Must Win
Hawks=Must Win
Skins =Must Win
Phins =Must Win
Bucs =Must Win
Jints =Either way
Bills =Either way
Division Home Games (Eagles and Jints) = Must Win
Who here is ready to quit on this team and doesn't believe the above is attainable?
Hold your head up guys.
As a Giants fan I am looking forward to a worthy adversary who's full of pride and anger!
Please don't mistake this post for advocating the Cowboys should shoot for 10 wins, ofcourse you all want them to win every single game, I'm only trying to forecast whats the min that gets them to the playoffs.
Don't forget to make your vote and add your 2Cents in the comments section.
Due to the number of you who voted to see the charts updated weekly I have the charts below.
I tweaked a few things to try to make it clearer as there was about 10% of you who indicated the charts are too confusing to understand. That's right I still care about the 10% of you.
The big change was the order of the NFC East teams. As one viewer suggested the reason why.... This chart should represent last years end of season standings.
The "separate 2 games" are based on the standings of last year.
The other reason why is because it should remind all of you what the Cowboys need to strive for; being #1 in the division!.
Once again the chart above should reflect what Willgfass' post explained. The NFL doesn't use a lottery or names out of a hat system to figure out the schedule - instead there's a systematic process that dictates what the 8 common games will be for each division in football. This year the NFC East is going against the NFC West and AFC East.
There is a rhyme and reason why the Cowboys faced the Lions and soon the Bucs. The 2 separate games for the NFC East is against the NFC North and NFC South. The Cowboys finished 3rd place therefore face the teams that finished 3rd.
Here is where I think the 10% of folks are getting confused. The Division chart works differently then the 2 previous charts. I personally think its a thing of beauty because it reminds me of the multiplication "cheat" chart that was behind my notebook in elementary school. Click for image.
Ah but I digress, so anyway the previous 2 charts above had WON or LOST reflected for the teams on the column header but we can't do that here. This is because our division is also represented in the rows. Instead the cells are color coded to represent which team won the game. The teams on the column header represent the Home team and the teams on the left represent the visiting team. So what you end up with is 3 games for each team away and 3 games for each team at home. Orange box represents the win/loss for the away team and yellow box represents the win/loss for the home team - add them up and you have the division totals for each team. If you're still confused try clicking on the link above that says image.

Location to Gaslamp Quarter, free shuttle service to hotel, taxi back to airport, cleanliness, and having a microwave/fridge in the room.
Being on the side of the hotel that was closest to the street traffic. It was hard to get a full good nights rest due to this.
They thought of everything--like popcorn, microwave, refrig, hair dryer, exercise facility. Was walking distance to lots of bars and restaurants. Free breakfast.
Very, very small room. I've never been in one smaller. No view--looked out on a wall. But I got some sleep. The breakfast was totally overcrowded and no place to sit down. I could barely even grab something to take to my room to eat. Not enough elevators! Had to wait forever since there were so many people staying there.
I was pleasantly surprised by the cleanliness of the hotel, friendly professional staff and excellent breakfast choices. I was expecting more street noise but the ear plugs provided worked really well. I will definitely stay here during future visits to San Diego and will recommend your facility to all my friends.
That were was nothing to dislike.
Friendly helpful staff. Close to centre of town. Would stay again
Kitchen items and convenience
Bed uncomfortable.
Location. Affordable. Clean. Parking. Coffee.
Sliding bathroom door was difficult to operate. Scrambled eggs as part of the free breakfast were too salty.
Fine room and bathroom Hotel staff was very nice and helpful great location
The room is slightly small and there is no nice view from the windows.
solar energy,energy saving(shutting off refrigerator,A/C when room unoccupied
Clean, good breakfast
Parking was not near the hotel with no surveillance. Rooms are really small and stuffy. Elevator sounded unstable every time we rode in it
Breakfast was okay
The cleaning staff was very loud they let every door slam multiple times as they clean. The water to the shower went hot cold hot cold. Also very noise area of town.
Breakfast was great! Staff helpful!
Only one entrance go facility!
my companion left her ipad and she got it back. Thanks so much,
location and cost of parking. Good breakfast
The hotel's décor was a bit dated. The elevator was the very slow.
Great Position
A lot of noise during the night, but it's normal in this district
It's location amongst places I was going compared to price was just great.
Shower water temp varied up and down as I bathed.
not suitable for business professionals
The locaton was perfect. The staff was very friendly.
When booking the room the information was very misleading. I expected a room with two beds and the confirmation email said "double room" i was surprised t find it only had one bed. It was too late for me to find another room so we made it work. The A/C was horrible and we were uncomfortable all night.
Excellent location, just walking distance to the convention centre with lots of food options close by. Staff were friendly and able to help Room was clean and comfortable
Wifi was poor and kept on not letting me log in, would work fine when showing staff of the issue.
Very good location. Staff very helpful.
Layout of breakfast area was cramped. Patio off of lobby area could use improvement.
Location great,free wifi other hotels wanted min $15 pr day! Nice free breakfast,free water,free coffee,treat pillows! Most hotel pillows hard and supongo
Elevador very show for 4 floors.room very small
price for amenities. room was very cramped and small, lots of noise, AC was in the window and did not cover the out door lighting
Breakfast, staff, location, facilities, parking
Free shuttle from the SAN Airport, free hot breakfast, free parking, free Wi-Fi, with microwave and ref in the room.! The location is great! The price is the best! Thank you so much.
It was a nice place.
Nothing bad to say.
Having a desk in my room. Being within walking distance of what I wanted to see. Free transport to & from the airport
-Noisy aircon, noisy street if I wanted the window open for some fresh air. -Free transport to & from airport, but no mention on website that coming in you need to catch the super-shuttle, and the driver will get a voucher from reception when you arrive -No attempt to be more environmentally responsible - plastic everything at breakfast, towels etc changed every day, no bins for us to put recyclables in ...

El Tratado De Guadalupe Hidalgo:
Definicion y lista de las concesiones de tierras comunitarias en Nuevo Mexico (Informe Preliminar)
GAO-01-331: Published: Jan 16, 2001. Publicly Released: Jan 16, 2001.
(202) 512-2667
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Under the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo in 1848, which formally ended the Mexican-American War, the United States assumed control over vast new territories, including much of what is now the state of New Mexico. The United States agreed to recognize ownership of property, including the ownership of land grants, in the ceded areas. Whether the United States carried out the provisions of the treaty, especially with regard to community land grants, has been a controversial issue for generations. Land grant documents contain no direct reference to "community land grants," nor do Spanish and Mexican laws define or use this term. GAO did find, however, that some grants refer to lands set aside for general communal use or for specific purposes, such as hunting, maintaining pastures, wood gathering, or watering. Scholars, the land grant literature, and popular terminology commonly use the phrase "community land grants" to denote land grants that set aside common lands for the use of the entire community. GAO used this broad definition to determine which Spanish and Mexican land grants could be identified as community land grants. GAO identified 152 community land grants out of 295 land grants in New Mexico. GAO divided these community land grants into three distinct types: 79 of these were grants in which the shared lands formed part of the grant according to the original grant documentation; 51 were grants that scholars, grantee heirs, or others believed to contain common lands; and 22 were grants extended to the indigenous pueblo cultures in New Mexico.

Despite the clouds, the High Line has welcomed thousands of visitors so far today, during the first weekend that Section 1 has been open.
The Post ran this as part of their coverage of opening this week. A good, short summary.
The New York Times architecture review is in, and calling the piece -- by architecture critic Nicolai Ouroussoff -- a rave would be no exaggeration. Ouroussoff describes his walk on the High Line as a linear narrative made of a series of episodes, with the careful balance of landscape elements serving to tie the design together:
Today's blog post was guest written by one of our new Greeters, Claudia Berger.
Today I was on the High Line for its first morning in operation. I was very impressed by how determined people were to see it– not even the rain could stop them. Visitors braved the rain, but none of them felt it wasn't worth it. The morning attracted not only die-hard fans of the High Line, but some curious opponents. However, even in the rain, they could not help but enjoy it. One visitor told me she was determined to hate the High Line, but spent her time up there in awe. She loved it, rain and all.
We need your support tomorrow at the Community Board 4 public forum on the Western Rail Yards. Even as we open the first section of the High Line as a public park today, one-third of the structure still has an uncertain future, and may be partially demolished. Come help us show the City, developer and the MTA that the preservation of the entire historic High Line must be made a priority at the Rail Yards.
Today's blog post was guest written by one of our new Greeters, Claudia Berger.
Today's ribbon-cutting ceremony with Mayor Bloomberg marked the unofficial opening day on the High Line. (The official opening day is tomorrow, Tuesday June 9th, when the park will be open for its first full day, from 7:00am - 10:00pm.) Once the ribbon was cut, the High Line saw its first visitors as the public came up.
I spent the first afternoon on the High Line acting as a Greeter, one of several Friends of the High Line volunteers who walk along the High Line answering any questions visitors might have. When you go up on the High Line, seek us out– you can identify us by our gray t-shirts with the green High Line logo. Most of the questions I was asked today were about the water feature near the 16th Street access point. As the day went on and got sunnier, this became an increasingly popular place to sit, so I spent a lot of time there talking to visitors.
Just moments ago, we stood with Mayor Bloomberg, Speaker Quinn, Borough President Stringer, Congressman Nadler, and other leaders and supporters and cut the ribbon on the High Line, officially opening the first section to the public. This historic day is the culmination of ten years of advocacy, planning and construction, and we're so grateful to everyone who has helped make this opening possible.
Stay Connected with the High Line

And here's Gareth with another combat snippet!
Steel Song
Or: The Danse Macabre
SpoilerFrom the records of Manus Inkfingers, official scribe and aide to General Tialla Hammerblade of Karvak, dated 217 RR
"Sending a strike force was a bold move. Not like Khyber at all. Manus, if you were a betting man, would you say that they acted without orders?"
My lady, Tialla, was often given to these sorts of questions. She was always curious, despite her sole occupation being the ending of lives and the parting of property from its rightful owners in the name of Karvak. That she was beautiful was not in doubt at all; tall, regal, with long blond hair and soft blue eyes, she could have been a bard or a spy, but instead she hid her curves under armor and let her hand rest on one of the two swords at her belt, smiling a small smile. She turned and grinned widely at me.
"They're coming to take the relay codes from us. One of them is coming for me. I know. She told me."
And as if on command, the door was kicked open. In front of it was a half-elven youth, barely even a man, with a shock of short brown hair and green eyes. His body was covered in what looked like sheathed daggers, but we knew better - they were longswords, shrunk by magic and kept in astounding numbers on his person, each a trophy taken from a worthy foe.
"I got this one guys. Move on ahead!"
His voice was arrogant, cocky, but strong, and he took a step into the room with his hands empty. The young man moved with an assured grace that put into mind images of cats stalking their prey, or of the swooping dive of a dragon that has seen its foe.
"You're Tialla, right? The Lady of War and Karvek's biggest asset? I've been looking for you for a long time."
My lady laughed joyously, without a trace of irony or contempt.
"I'd expected you to be taller, Sword Saint. Aren't you supposed to be taller than a giant?"
The youth grinned impishly, "Call me Francis, ma'am, and you'll find that rumors of my god-like properties are greatly exaggerated. Who's your friend with the parchment? Some kind of scribe?"
"He is, at that, Francis. He'll not interfere."
As if by unspoken signal, Francis sprinted into the room, twin blades leaping from their sheaths into his hands. Before he'd taken two steps, the swords had left his hands, flying end over end at Tialla, and two more soon joined them. Tialla drew her own blade from its sheath, ducking low at the same time to dodge the first flying blade. She advanced, swatting another blade out of the air and rolling her shoulder pauldron forward to deflect the third. She rose, caught the fourth blade, and threw it aside in time to meet the Sword Saint's furious charge, whipping her sword in front of her in time to block a vicious double slash. The impact drove her back half a foot; clearly, the half-elf was stronger than he looked.
I have seen warriors battle for their lives before, witnessed the cautious dance that precedes the violence. There was none of that here; the Sword Saint threw himself at Tialla in a storm of steel and fury, blurring the air gray with his sheer rapidity of his strikes. Tialla gave ground before him, bringing her blade up again and again for desperate parries, letting blows through to crash painfully against the plates of her armor. A song of steel filled the air, like bells crying out in beautiful pain.
Even still, blows crept through; a slice so fast as to be barely seen clipped off the top of her ear. A crushing blow stove in the side of her breastplate, cracking a rib. She gritted her teeth through the pain, giving way slowly, letting her opponent exhaust himself.
The two of them broke apart after what felt like an age, panting and smiling goblin grins of joy and blood lust.
"You're good," the youth said eagerly. "You're damn good. I've never had a fight like this!"
"You're pretty impressive yourself, Sword Saint. Sadly, I know something you do not."
His grin widened, "Let me guess, you are not left handed?"
"No. This is not a longsword."
My lady stepped forward with a sweeping slash well short of the Sword Saint, and as her blade came around, it lengthened, becoming a slightly shortened claymore scything for his neck. With a yelp, he threw himself backwards, leaning back and throwing his momentum into a flip that took him over Tialla's next blow, an ankle swipe. He spun to the side as she whipped her claymore back and brought it crashing down. Tialla used her heavy blade like it was lighter than air, moving it without a care in the world in ways that would make a giant swordsman green with envy. The Sword Saint bent his body in increasingly astonishing ways to stay out of the path of its knife-sharp edge, keeping himself a hair's width away from a swift end.
Then he did something unexpected - he attacked, his form blurring as he shouted a command word in elven. I recognized the haste spell affecting him as he threw himself into the assault, leaping into the air for a series of spinning slashes that came down like hammer's blows on Tialla's blade. His feet hit the ground and he advanced like a metal hurricane, forcing her to block blow after blow with her wide blade.
Why do this? It wasn't getting him anywhere. Unless...
The spell wore off and my lady lashed out with her booted foot, catching the elf in the chest. He spun as he fell, his swords going flying out of his hands, and she brought her weapon up and around - only to see Francis catch himself, regain his feet, and draw a single weapon in one smooth motion. As her claymore hit the floorboards, he brought an adamantine longsword down on its blade, cracking the already weakened metal in half and spraying its shards all over the floor. His free hand reached out and drew Tialla's other blade from her sheath, and he flicked it across her throat with a backhanded slash. A neat red line appeared on her throat, which then became a rapid gush of blood. For a moment I could swear that the blade he'd done the deed with pulsed, as though breathing.
"What will you do now?"
"My job," he said with a shrug. "I have my trophy. I'm done here."
He left after that. I never saw him again.
Three Days Later, in the Sword Saint's tent
"So, soul-stealing sword, huh?"
"Soul-storing, really. I thought you might use it against me, and I figured I could be safe rather than sorry. Do you intend on killing me?"
"No way! We've got a lot to teach each other. And it's not like I can't afford the spell if I can get you on our side."
"Oh, definitely. Are you...?
"What, single? Yeah, actually. You wouldn't think it, but yeah. Want to get some drinks or something to celebrate coming back from the dead once we get back to Porthaven?"
"Sounds marvelous."

Visitors to Kokomo Opalescent Glass factory this week didn't expect they'd soon be appearing on South Korean television.
"This is an exciting week for us!" Cindy Locke said to a tour group Tuesday morning, as she explained they'd be filmed for an upcoming public television segment shown halfway around the world. "This could be shown to 10 million people."
Los Angeles film team Daniel Hong and Dongin Choi, both originally from Seoul, South Korea, are producing shows for Korean Broadcasting System — primarily focusing on American businesses that are more than 100 years old. They've visited a guitar company in Pennsylvania, a knife company in Idaho, and now they're in the almost 125-year-old glass factory, which CEO John O'Donnell says is the most toured place in Kokomo. O'Donnell has taken the filmmakers to see the company's glass out in the real world; to the stained-glass windows at St. Patrick Catholic Church and Cook McDoogal's.
"We've filmed other glass companies, but this is the first time we've seen stained glass," Hong said. "We're trying to focus on that. How they've been surviving in this industry for over 100 years."
The men will film through this week, capturing the glass being melted from its raw form into massive 2,500-degree molten globs, dried and cut into sheets and prepared for shipment. They'll also show how the resident artisans hand-create one-of-a-kind blown art pieces in the hot glass studio, as well as other artists who use wire and glass to form nativity scenes, bells and other shapes. The many tour groups that go through the factory each week will serve as a backdrop to the factory's rich history.
Once they've completed filming, interpretors will translate the English into Korean to prepare the documentary for television. Hong and Choi expect that post-production will be completed quickly for a Nov. 18 release date. They said the documentary will be shown on television in Korean communities around the U.S. and online.
O'Donnell hopes the documentary will be just another chapter in a business that has sent glass worldwide. It's used in stained-glass displays in churches around the world and will very soon be the source of 900 glass castings to be installed in the Washington, D.C., Metro system.
"We're excited about this because it tells the world about this company that survived the war, survived the Depression, survived everything," said O'Donnell. "This company has done well in every economic time."
Though Hong and Choi are world travelers, they said they've particularly enjoyed the warm welcome they've received in Kokomo. They said they looked up the Asian population of Kokomo before arriving and were shocked to see there were so few people of Asian descent. But they still don't feel out of place.
"It's pretty small compared to Seoul, but the people are very, very kind," said Hong.

Okay guys, now before you bestow me the next great General Manager, hear me out. I may be under qualified to hold a HC or FO job for this organization (or not, judging by recent position holders), but I assure you that all my Super Bowl rings speak loudly enough to merit some legitimacy. Hell, I'm already in the HOF on my Madden Career.
Okay, with all kidding aside - I have this scenario that's been playing out in the my head the past couple of hours. If the stars align correctly, it could give us a solid foundation to build a bright future in Kansas City. Ya know, kinda like Oakland thought before they
drafted donated to Jamarcus Russell.
So, putting myself in the position of armchair GM, my goal going into the draft is to trade out of the #1 spot, as far down as we can get. Realistically, pick #10 is realllllly stretching it. But that's the area I'm shooting for, with the stipulation I receive enough ammo to trade back into the lower-middle portion of the 1st round. This, of course, leaves us with 2 first round picks.
So we trade them both for RGIII, set the game on rookie and rewrite the record book. Sorry, Madden logic kicking in.
Now, I realize that the draft is very much so a living, breathing animal. And trying to mock who goes where with what pick is impossible. But my basic idea here is to take a WR with our early pick. If we are taking a receiver in the top 10, we are almost certainly reaching. But sometimes that is the nature of the beast - and reaching isn't always a bad thing if it fills a need. My target is Cordarerelle Patterson. He has decent size and speed, and could fit nicely in a role that stretches the field. WR - Check.
Next, I turn my attention to the QB. With a pick in the lower half of the first round, I set my sights on EJ Manuel. I believe he possesses great tangibles. I love his arm strength and athleticism. His accuracy worries me, but I believe coaching can cure that in time. To me, Manuel is here at the perfect time. As a young, developing QB, he may not scare defenses with the passing game early on. But after watching the success with which Kaepernick, Wilson, and RGIII ran the read-option this year, I find it hard to believe a tandem of Manuel-Charles would be anything less than explosive. Teams would have to stay honest against the run, and that would give Manuel good looks in the passing game as he develops under center. QB - Check.
As for LT, my solution is pretty simple. Slap the tag on Albert, try to get a deal done with him or address the position next year.
Am I way off base here? I have seen some pretty ridiculous draft/trade scenarios proposed on here, I like to think I have a firmer grasp on the reality of the NFL. While nobody would argue trading a young Stanzi for an old Manning (I'm looking at you, Archie) it just doesn't work that way. Thoughts?

Attorney General
DOJ Says It Will Enforce Marijuana Laws in Calif., Prop 19 or No
Posted Oct 18, 2010 4:44 PM CDT
By Sarah Mui
U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder announced last week that even though efforts would be "greatly complicated if Proposition 19—a California ballot measure to decriminalize marijuana—is passed, the Department of Justice would still prosecute federal drug laws there against the substance.
A letter that Holder sent to nine former chiefs of the Drug Enforcement Administration on Wednesday stating this position was made public Friday, the New York Times reported. The former officials suggested the DOJ take legal action to prevent Proposition 19 from becoming law, the Wall Street Journal reported. In response, Holder only said that the DOJ is "considering all available legal and policy options" if Proposition 19 passes. The vote on the referendum takes place Nov. 2.
This policy is a contrast to the DOJ's stance on medical marijuana: Holder said said last year that his office had no plans to prosecute the sale of medical marijuana in states that allow it.
Last week, dozens of law professors signed a petition urging voters to support the passage of Proposition 19.

Also posted over at Rogue Medic (now at EMS Blogs).
Continuing from Part I, Part II. and Part III.
After assessing what it is that the abdominal pain patients want/expect from a visit to the ED (Emergency Department), how many X-rays it takes to deliver the same radiation as an abdominal CT (Computed Tomographic imaging), whether CTs increase the lifetime risk of cancer, and how many abdominal CTs equal some sort of measure of the radiation exposure of Hiroshima survivors, the authors conclude that people do not understand the risks of radiation.[1] This study is followed by an excellent editorial.
The easy conclusion from these findings is, unsurprisingly, that patients are ill informed, and thus efforts to improve their education and awareness should help to mitigate the overuse of imaging and its consequent risks.[2]
Dr. Wears does not discuss the validity of assuming that there is only one right answer to the questions asked. There is also a podcast discussing this study and discussing the editorial, but the podcast is similarly missing the problem with the study taking for granted that there is a single right answer to the study's questions.[3]
First, the "rational person" assumption holds that, given correct information, people should arrive at consistent choices about alternatives (eg, to image or not) based on the net expectation of probabilities and outcomes.2[2]
If we make rational decisions, why do so many of us smoke?
If we make rational decisions, why do so many of us eat to the point of obesity?
If we make rational decisions, why do so many of us spend so much time watching reality TV?
Dr. Wears cites some of the studies that show that we do not make rational decisions. To insist that we make rational decisions is also irrational. Isolated examples of decisions that appear rational do not mean that a person makes rational decisions any more than a stopped clock being right twice a day means that the stopped clock keeps accurate time.
The authors provide excellent examples of irrationality in one question they present.
Click on images to make them larger.
How a multiple choice question is presented will affect way the answers are chosen.
Why is there no choice for I don't know?
For most people not familiar with X-rays and CTs, the only honest and rational answer is I don't know.
When graphing the results, we can further distort the results by making the distances between numbers completely arbitrary. Why present the choices as the Same radiation (the same, or zero difference is 50 x 0), 50 times more (greater by a factor of 50 x 1), 100 times more (greater by a factor of 50 x 2), 250 times more (greater by a factor of 50 x 5), 300 times more (greater by a factor of 50 x 6), and Over 350 times more (greater by a factor of 50 x at least 7).
Why blur the distinction between 100 times and 250 times? When the numbers become blurred, the numbers lose their meaning. When there is no difference in meaning between one number and a number 2 1/2 times as large, are we providing information or are we providing confusion?
We seem to most insist on stripping information of its meaning when we create multiple choice tests. Correct answers become a simple matter of memorization separated from understanding. This is one way to create the protocol monkey – the automaton, whom we claim is rendered harmless by being prevented from thinking. This desire to prevent the use of judgment may be the ultimate irrational decision.
If the difference between 100 and 250 is the same as the difference between 250 and 300, how do we expect anyone to notice differences in dosages? 100 mg – 200 mg – 300 mg – what's the difference? With memorized answers, the only difference is whether it is graded as correct. With real patients, the differences can be fatal.
We memorize our way to recklessness.
We do not memorize our way to safety.
Previous literature estimates the radiation dose for an abdomen-pelvis CT to be equivalent to 100 to 250 2-view chest series.2,10-12 For the purpose of this investigation, we used the conservative estimate of 1 abdomen-pelvis CT = 100 2-view chest radiographs.[1]
I agree with their choice to use the more conservative number, but what this still does not do is put this in a context that helps people to understand. Without understanding something about the radiation exposure of an X-ray, this is an unknown. 10 times an unknown – 100 times an unknown – 1,000 times an unknown – what's the difference?
Presenting misleading information to medically naive people and proclaiming Eureka! is misleading. We are not finding anything. We are presenting a spectacle, although not as much of one as Archimedes did running naked through the streets (assuming the legend to be true).
The second assumption is that the problem is "out there" in patients, not "in here" in physicians. This might be viewed as a form of the psychologist's fallacy,3 the idea that although patients' preferences might suffer from irrationality, ignorance, or irrelevant considerations, ours (physicians') do not.[2]
An excellent point that should be extended to researchers.
How much of the problem is in the study design?
What are we measuring?
If the purpose of controlled trials is to examine things objectively, why use a study that seems to
depend insist on subjectivity?
I will write more about Dr. Wears editorial later, because it covers a lot of important material on making decisions.

Best, worst NBA head-coaching hires?
2. Which team has made the worst coaching hire thus far? Kevin Arnovitz, ESPN.com: If you're someone who believes that experience on an NBA bench is a prerequisite, then it's Golden State with Jackson. If you feel that "players buying in" is overrated, then it's Houston with McHale. If you think that incumbency shouldn't mean anything, it's Indiana with Vogel. And if you insist the Lakers could've had anyone under the sun, then Brown might be a head-scratcher. Rahat Huq, Red94: Anyone who watched the Cleveland Cavaliers even passively during "The LeBron Era" would share befuddlement over the Lakers' selection of Mike Brown over far more appealing candidates. The defense was solid, sure, but few have been less imaginative with a clipboard. Most disturbing is that franchise icon Kobe Bryant was not consulted for the decision, foreshadowing inevitable turbulence. Graydon Gordian, 48 Minutes of Hell: Mark Jackson is the worst hire so far. I've always enjoyed Jackson's work as a color commentator, but his résumé does not suggest he's prepared to be a head coach in the NBA. He may prove to be a success, but there are several other candidates whose capabilities are more certain. John Converse Townsend, Truth About It: Golden State. The Warriors fell in love with Mark Jackson's strong personality and undeniable leadership skills, but it remains to be seen whether he can translate those qualities to the chalkboard. Jackson must quickly find a way to keep the undisciplined Warriors in line. His job depends on it. Jared Wade, 8 Points, 9 Seconds: I am a St. John's University alum and the '98 Pacers are perhaps my favorite team of all time, but I just can't see any way that the Mark Jackson hire works out well in Golden State. If Monta Ellis gets dealt, that could help, but his inexperience plus that roster is worrisome.

Kong tells Wandy take your supplements at 205 or get KTFO at 185
Tom Watson tells Wanderlei Silva to keep taking his supplements at light heavyweight or, if he chooses, come back to middleweight and "get knocked the fuck out." I guess "Kong," despite just a 1-1 record in ZUFFA after beating up the best of BAMMA, is trying to pick a fight with "The Axe Murderer" in the hopes that a highlight-reel stoppage might instantly elevate his 185-pound stock. However, after watching the bloodbath at UFC on FUEL TV 8 (watch it here), I'm reminded of the old saying, "Be careful what you wish for."

Those in the Flathead don't have to miss out on the Economic Development Summit in Butte, thanks to a live simulcast today and tomorrow.
Flathead Valley Community College is screening some of the conference proceedings in real time in the Arts and Technology building.
There is no charge to attend and it is open to the public.
Following today's simulcast, the Entrepreneurship Center hosted a community discussion about the hardships facing female leaders in business. The panel included three local business women.
"These are some of the biggest names in the tech world--internationally, globally," said Jill Seigmund, the entrepreneurship coordinator at FVCC, "For them to be in Montana, I think is probably a very historic event, for all these people to be in Montana at the same time and we wanted people to have access."
The simulcast starts up again tomorrow, September 16 at 8:15 a.m. and runs until noon.

Brisbane, Nov 9 : Australia's latest Test debutant Rob Quiney once weighed 115kg and was obsessed with Coca-Cola, scoffing junk food and drinking beer.
Quiney may look fit in his debut Test, but as a teenager he was a perfect candidate for a crash course in weight loss.
At age 18, the young Victorian went to play league cricket in England and he spent most of his nights on the couch watching pay television, eating poorly and drinking.
At 115kg, Quiney ballooned to being heavier than most rugby league players and was only a few kilograms lighter than Queensland State of Origin hulk Dave Taylor, News. com. au reports.
"I went to England after my first year playing at St Kilda. I went at 100kg and I came back 115kg. I was parking myself on the couch and just watching TV because there was pay-TV over there which we really didn''t have in Australia back then," Quiney said.
"I used to drink two or three cans of Coke a day, at least. There was plenty of bad eating, drinking beers and just general laziness. I was just so lazy and just rolled along as opposed to working hard like I should have."
The Transformation happened when Quiney returned from England and literally hated what he saw when he looked in the mirror one day.
He immediately vowed to shed the kilograms, go on a fitness drive and make something of his talent.
Quiney is now a shadow of his former self and his weight hovers around 87kg, but he admits he always has to work hard on his fitness levels and can never afford to slacken off. (ANI)

The Missouri Tigers clinch the Big XII North for the 2nd straight year after defeating Iowa State 52-20 up in Ames. Jeremy Maclin, Derrick Washington and Chase Daniel all had very strong games, and William Moore added his first INT of the season and returned it for a TD. Moore is the first player in Mizzou history to return 4 interceptions for TDs and is also the first in Mizzou history to score defensive TDs in 4 straight seasons.
High Definition is what you're looking for, by the way.

CATEGORIES Deals, RumorMonger, Movies, CinematicalIt's time for a rumor of the very best variety. Let's take a minute and spark our imagination. Close your eyes and imagine how a cinematic collaboration between the man who helps bring us flicks like the New York City-destroying Cloverfield, and the man who made tadpoles a vicious monster to fear in The Host, would turn out.
Now that visions of dragon-like monsters and people running and fighting for their lives are in your head, picture this: A new rumor claims that J.J. Abrams and Bong Joon-ho have had extensive meetings in order to work out a collaboration between the two, which Abrams will produce and Bong will direct.
/Film has a source who claims that the producer visited Korea last year to conduct these "extensive meetings," and once the Korean filmmaker finishes Snow Piercer -- his latest film based on a French graphic novel -- he will head to Hollywood, team up with Abrams, and make his first US film.
As the site rightly notes, Bong has an "off-kilter approach" to filmmaking, where he mixes "morose drama and physical comedy." Just look at The Host, where heroic deeds of one little girl are intermingled with her family throwing themselves on the ground and convulsing with shrieking, silly sobs. It's a technique that should prove brow-raising to US audiences, but it also makes me like the idea of these two men collaborating all the more intriguing.
Abrams might be known these days as a genre dude, busy with sci-fi treks and monsters, but he's also the man who helped create Felicity back in the '90s, and is currently producing a remake of Little Darlings. Bong, on the other hand, really made a name for himself with The Host, before digging into romantic agoraphobia, and then a crime drama about one strong Mother. Since both have interests in a myriad of genres, I can only begin to imagine the thoughts and visions they could pull out of each other, and the film that could result.
But even if it's just a simple monster movie, I'm all-in. How about you?

New York law gives preference to vets for state temp jobs
January 20 2014
A new New York State law gives military veterans preference for state temporary jobs normally filled by employees from for-profit temporary staffing firms, New York State Sen. Greg Ball's office announced.
Ball backed the bill, which was recently signed into law.
"We jump through hoops to prepare young men and women to enter into the military, but once they finish their service there is often very little transition back into civilian life," Ball said in a press release. "Many of our servicemen and women find this transition very difficult and often times can't fine meaningful employment upon their return."

WSVN -- April is a mother of two and when she isn't taking care of her kids, she worked for a company that took care of sick people.
April Riley, Needs Signature: "It's an agency where they send out nurses to take care of patients."
Life with her son and daughter made her happy. But at work, things were not going well. So she decided to quit and turned in her two week notice. The next morning her boss called her.
April Riley: "And told me don't come back in but send you letter of resignation. And my statement to her was, if you already fired me over the phone, why would I give you a letter of resignation?"
Needless to say the two won't be exchanging Valentines Day cards next week. But April does need her bosses signature on one thing.
April Riley: "Loss of income."
This form is required by DCF before April can apply for government assistance.
April Riley: "For benefits, for public assistance benefits, as in Medicaid, you can receive cash or food stamps for the family."
But days after leaving her job, you can imagine how excited April's old boss would be to rush to sign a form to help her former employee get food stamps.
April Riley: "I mean, I just think she's doing it out of spite. What reason? I don't know."
April says there is no reason for her boss to not sign the form- that the government assistance won't affect the old company at all.
April Riley: "Nothing, nothing will come out of her pocket. It's something that the government furnished for families that in need. It's not like unemployment where she has to pay for a percentage of what I'm receiving."
And April wants to point out she can live without the government handout, but it's not about her.
April Riley: "If it was just me I'd probably just brush it off, but it involves my children."
April emailed her old company a few times, even dropped off the form completely filled out, only needing her bosses signature that confirmed she no longer worked there. But no luck.
April Riley: "I would like my form and I would like to find why. Is there something else that is going on? Why is she refusing the form?"
Well before we find out why, Howard the legal question- does a boss have to sign a form so a former employee can apply for government assistance?
Howard Finkelstein: "No, legally there is nothing that requires a former employer to sign a form. However if they refuse, you are not out of luck. Contact DCF and they will tell you what you need to do."
We first spoke to April's old boss who told us they weren't delaying signing the paper, they just wanted to send it out with April's last paycheck.
DCF told us if an employer refused to sign the document, contact them and they will talk to the former employer. If they still refuse, DCF will accept a written statement from the applicant so they can get the assistance.
Howard Finkelstein: "April wanted food stamps and medical care for her children. But each entitlement program has its own rules. So call DCF or the government agency or go on their website to find the steps you need to follow."
April Riley: "I received the paper in the mail."
Her boss kept her word and gave her the signed document with her last paycheck. April was told she will get her government assistance a couple of days.
April Riley: "Just thank you for all his effort and help, for my self and my two children."
Patrick Fraser: "Glad we could help. And one more tip- no matter what you do, email or letter, keep a dated copy. It could come in handy. Also, a lot of these agencies are being overwhelmed with requests for help. So try emailing instead of phone calls. It's quicker and you have proof."
Your boss decided you are not exactly the employee of the year. You decided your boss isn't exactly the ideal person to work for. We can't do anything about that. But every other problem, you can employ us to help you out.

Pećanac Chetniks
|Pećanac Chetniks
| Nazi Germany
Government of National Salvation
|Kosta Pećanac
The Pećanac Chetniks, also known as the 'Black' Chetniks[1] were a Chetnik force which operated in the Territory of the Military Commander in Serbia under the leadership of Kosta Pećanac. They were loyal to the fascist government and fought against Yugoslav Partisans and the Chetniks of Draža Mihailović.
At the time of the invasion of Yugoslavia, Pećanac was located in southern Serbia. He was, before World War II and along with his rival Ilija Trifunović-Birčanin, one of the most well-known leaders of the various organizations that called themselves Chetniks, years before Draža Mihailović and his Ravna Gora movement began to use the name.[2] Pećanac's Chetniks, which were already in existence before World War II, were an entirely different organization than Mihailović's, even though they could occasionnally be confused.
Pećanac kept the organizational structure of his detachments simple.[3] All of the commanders were selected personally by Pećanac and consisted of former officers, peasants, Orthodox priests, teachers, and merchants.[3]
During World War II, units of Kosta Milovanović Pećanac committed numerous crimes against the civil population of Albanian villages on the border between Kosovo and Sandzak.
Pećanac was assassinated on June 6, 1944 by Chetniks loyal to Mihailović.[4]

KUSA - Wes Welker felt like he was someone out of the future, but the Denver Broncos receiver showed why he's been so valuable in the past.
Welker played Sunday for the first time since Dec. 8. He missed the final three regular-season games because of his second concussion this season.
He wore an oversized helmet Sunday to help protect his head.
"I've been practicing with it for the past few weeks, so I got used to it, "Welker said. "But it kind of looks like 'The Jetsons' out there."
He was hit during the Dec. 8 game against Tennessee, this after sustaining a concussion in the Nov. 10 game against Kansas City.
Welker gave Denver a 14-0 lead with 6 minutes left in the first half Sunday when he caught a 3-yard pass on third down. He also converted another third down and finished the game with six catches for 38 yards.
"It was good to have Wes back. You always like to have all of your guys back," quarterback Peyton Manning said. "It was the first time since November that we've had [Eric] Decker and [Demaryius] Thomas and Julius [Thomas] and Welker were on the field together. ... Wes made some big catches, and he drew a big pass interference. He would have been open would he not interfered. Always good to have him back out there."
Welker, who played for six seasons in New England, joined the Broncos in the offseason. In 34-31 loss earlier this season at New England, Welker finished with four catches for 31 yards. He didn't practice leading up to that game because of the concussion symptoms.
"Any time you get a playoff win, it's a big deal. Now it's on to the next one. We've got a really big one coming up this next weekend," Welker said.

With LeBron Out, Spurs Win Game 1
When's the last time cramping was the cause of sidelining an NBA superstar? It happened Thursday night during Game 1 of the NBA Finals, when San Antonio's air conditioning failed and LeBron James cramped up so bad that he only played five minutes in the fourth quarter. The San Antonio Spurs took advantage, outscoring the two-time defending champion Miami Heat 36-17 in the final quarter to take Game 1 110-95. "It was the whole left leg, damn near the whole left side," James told ESPN about the cramps. "I was losing a lot [of fluids] throughout the game. It was extremely hot in the building, you know, both teams, fans, everybody could feel it. I was the one that had to take the shot." James still led the Heat with 25 points. Tim Duncan had 21 points and 10 rebounds for the Spurs. Game 2 will be held Sunday night. (Photo: Eric Gay/AP Photo)

By Margaret Maynard
For The Herald Bulletin
---- — This is the third of four stories that will publish in October during Breast Cancer Awareness Month detailing the stories of breast cancer survivors.
ANDERSON — Anderson resident Martha Hardin is a private person but was persuaded by her youngest daughter, Chastity Hardin, to share her personal story about her fight with breast cancer.
Chastity submitted the following to The Herald Bulletin:
"My mother's name is Martha Hardin and she was diagnosed with breast cancer in June 2010. After a routine mammogram, followed by a biopsy and surgery, my mother and our family were thrust into the fight of beating breast cancer.
"My mother has gone through a range of emotions during these past three years. There have been fear, tears and cheers and I'm happy to say my mother has remained cancer free since her surgery. I am so proud of my mother and the strength and faith she has shown. I love my mother more than words can express and I will continue to be her biggest supporter fighting alongside her. Humbly submitted by, Chastity Hardin, daughter of a breast cancer survivor."
Chastity, however, didn't tell her mom she had sent the idea for a story to the newspaper.
"My mom is a very private person," said Chastity, "so when I was called about including her story in the newspaper, my first thought was, my mom is going to kill me."
After talking to her mom about sharing her story, Martha agreed, thinking it was important to share the story that might help someone else.
Martha's story
Martha Hardin, 67, retired from Guide Lamp after 30 years and has been married to her husband, Josh, for 43 years. "I have seven kids and 17 grandkids," she said.
Martha said that she was diligent about doing her breast self exams and annual mammograms.
In June 2010, Hardin went for her annual mammogram at Saint John's Women's Center. They did a mammogram and Hardin was sent out to the waiting room and then called back for another picture to try and get a clearer image of part of her breast.
Martha was asked to come back for a follow-up mammogram another day. After completing the mammogram, they continued to do some other tests, including an ultrasound of her breast.
"My mom called and told me what was going on," said Chastity. "I was at work and immediately left to be with my mother."
"Everything went really fast after that," said Hardin. A biopsy of the breast was scheduled within a week, and it confirmed breast cancer.
"I remember hearing the doctor saying that my mother had breast cancer," said Chastity. "Tears were streaming down my face as I was thinking I've got to be strong for my mother."
Martha said, "Chastity couldn't stop crying, so I was trying to reassure her and she said, 'Mom, I should be the one consoling you.' I kept telling her I was going to be all right. I'm going to fight this, no matter what it takes."
"Later when I got home, I was lying in bed and finally started crying," said Martha. "When I was first told about the cancer, I was numb and couldn't cry. It was unreal to me. I asked the Lord to help me find strength."
The type of breast cancer Martha was diagnosed with was Infiltrating Ductal Carcinoma (IDC), Stage II. Because there were multiple areas of her breast affected, a mastectomy was suggested. As a result, Hardin didn't have to have any chemo or radiation. She takes a medication called Femara in pill form once daily. She has been taking it for three years and is to continue for two more years.
Martha stressed the importance of having an annual mammogram. Thanks to having hers, the cancer was found early.
"I would suggest to women that they take someone with them to their mammogram appointments to keep them company while waiting and to be there for support if needed," said Martha. "Just sitting there waiting can be scary."
Chastity, who works at St. Vincent Anderson as a medication access coordinator, has taken her mom to all of her appointments, mammograms and even family doctor visits since her mother's follow-up mammogram three years ago. "I think it's good to have a second set of ears," said Chastity.
"It sounds strange but the cancer actually strengthened my faith," said Chastity. "It made me realize how strong my mother is. I was able to see her strength. I did some serious praying for my mother and God answered our prayers."
Invasive (or Infiltrating) Ductal Carcinoma (IDC) This is the most common breast cancer. It starts in the cells lining a duct, breaks through the wall of the duct, and invades (grows into) the tissue of the breast. From there it is able to spread (metastasize) to nearby lymph nodes or other parts of the body. IDC accounts for about 8 out of 10 invasive breast cancers. Information from The American Cancer Society website: www.cancer.org

Valli Couture-------
Giambattista Valli is no longer a guest member on the Couture calendar. The Paris-based designer, who made his debut on the Couture runways for the first time last season, was granted the official haute couture appellation early (typically designers have to wait five years to be eligible) by French fashion's governing body, the Chambre Syndicale.
Of the decision, Chambre Syndicale president Didier Grumbach tells WWD, "It was clear from his show [in July] that he has caught the attention of a new generation of customers, and he immediately took important orders for his couture," he says. "So it's true that the haute couture appellation gives him legitimacy, but objectively speaking, he is already part of the system."
The New Chambre Maids (And Men), David Gandy: The Book, Fly The Standard Skies, And More…-------
France's Chambre Syndicale, the body that organizes Paris' fashion shows, has announced its newest members and associates. Congrats to Azzaro, Carven, Damir Doma, Felipe Oliveira Baptista, Thimister, Véronique Leroy, and American (sometimes) in Paris Zac Posen. [WWD]
Dolce & Gabbana have found their ideal poster boy (literally) in David Gandy, who's starred in many of the label's menswear campaigns and runway shows. They're now cementing their affection for the British-born model with a new book dedicated only to pictures of him—the first they've ever done focusing on a single model. [Vogue U.K.]
Next up for the Standard: its own airline. André Balazs' do-no-wrong hotel group has launched its own mini plane service, StndAIR, offering flights to the Hamptons in a plane painted the Standard's own cherry red. Here's hoping for a liftoff from the Boom Boom. [W]
And Lindsay Lohan takes on her latest role: art star? The troubled actress gets in front of the lens for a short film—the first—by artist Richard Phillips, who's no stranger to celebrity portraiture. [T]

had lunch at Camden Yards yesterday
we sat outside at the restuarant thats in the warehouse buiding beyond the right filed bleachers. when we sat down i noticed several round plaques in the concrete in the street between the bleachers and the warehouse. looked over a few feet from our table at the closest plaque and saw this: apparently when someone hits a home run out of the stadium onto the street, they put a plaque in the concrete where the ball landed. the most impressive one is the plaque on the side of the warehouse wall, hit by Griffey Jr.

LAS VEGAS -- From a high profile fight, to Cinco de Mayo celebrations, the strip is extra busy.
Clubs, bars and hotels are rolling out drink specials, music and entertainment trying to get people from all over in the door.
"The reason we came here tonight is because they have a drink special," said Michael Torres.
While the tequila is flowing at Carlos and Charles' at Flamingo, down the street, fans at MGM will have their attention focused on two big names: Mayweather and Guerrero.
"I've come all the way from Trinidad to Las Vegas to see the Mayweather," one fan told 8 News Now.
"We came here we decided we had to see the fight, because it's a once in a life time event," said Jim Vig.
These big events not only bring enthusiastic fans, they're bringing out big spenders. Whether it's for merchandise or drinks, the parties are just getting started and people say they don't mind spending, if it means having a good time on the strip.
"Las Vegas is the only place you can go to have a good time," said Torres.

Help fund our 'Stop Top Two' radio ads in California
Posted on Jun 4, 2010
Dear Friend of Liberty,
First I'd like to thank the 2010 convention delegates for electing me to serve as your new Libertarian National Committee Chairman. I hope to tell you more about our future plans, but right now I need your help to fend off an immediate threat to the Libertarian Party.
Please donate $1,000, $100, or whatever you can to help pay for our radio ads to fight Proposition 14 in California, the "Top Two" elections proposition.
Proposition 14 would limit the November ballot to only two choices. The way the plan is set up, those choices will almost always be Republicans and Democrats. Other parties like us will be forced off the ballot early, which guarantees that only Republicans and Democrats will have access to the voters in the November election campaign.
We sent a press release on this yesterday.
Special interest groups are spending millions of dollars to promote this plan, to ensure that no one can compete against their hand-picked candidates in November.
Last Friday, at the last meeting of their term, the Libertarian National Committee (LNC) voted to approve $10,000 to spend on radio ads fighting Proposition 14. Our newly elected LNC thinks the threat is so significant, they voted to spend another $15,000 on these radio ads. You can listen to the ad here.
A similar election system was passed in Washington State in 2008, and it has made things much more difficult for the Washington LP. I'm concerned that if this passes in California too, it could start a nationwide trend and threaten Libertarians around the country.
If you are unable to donate, but have some time available, we could use your help to make phone calls to California voters. The election is this coming Tuesday, so we need your help right away. To volunteer, call the LP California office at 877-884-1776. You can also email firstname.lastname@example.com, or visit this website.
You do not need to be in California to help make phone calls. We have an easy-to-use system and can train you in about 15 minutes. And we especially need people willing to put in a couple of hours per day between now and Tuesday.
Two recent polls showed support for Proposition 14 at 60% and 52%. We're hopeful that our advertising and phoning will help bring that support down in the final days leading up to the election. We can't guarantee success, but we're not sitting idly by -- we're putting up a fight!
Please help by sending $100, $500, or even $1,000 right away.
Mark Hinkle
Chairman, Libertarian National Committee

SATURDAY'S return of the Bendigo Bowls Division pennant season has been called off because of heat.
The pennant season was set to resume on Saturday for the first time since December 7 with round 11.
However, because the forecast temperature is for more than 38 degrees, the BBD has evoked its heat policy.
Division one games were to have been: Golden Square v Castlemaine; Eaglehawk v Kangaroo Flat; South Bendigo v Bendigo; and Bendigo East v Inglewood.
Sunday's Provincial Championship at Bendigo East has also been cancelled.

SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. - A lot of money will be riding on the Travers Stakes Race on Saturday and Monday, New York Racing Association announced enhanced security measures for the race.
With the Travers stakes being a pricey $1 million, NYRA officials want to make sure the mid-summer derby will be a clean and transparent race.
For starters, all horses in the race have to be at Saratoga Race Course by Wednesday and cannot leave until after Saturday. There will also be an out-of-competition blood test for illegal substances. Also, the barns will have constant security, logging every visitor and veterinary checkup.
In previous years, horses had to stay in secured stakes barns, but this year they will be able to stay in their own barns with 24-hour supervision, which seems to be a win for everyone.
"Now that they can sleep in their own beds, so to speak, so the horsemen are happy because they want the race to be fair just as much as we and the fans do," says Eric Wing, NYRA Director of Communications.
The Travers Stakes Race is Saturday, August 24.
