Albany -- Another undercover sting of Dougherty County stores to check for selling alcohol to underage buyers was held last Thursday and Friday. Nearly forty percent of the stores checked sold booze to officers under 21-years-old.
These are some of the alcoholic drinks that were purchased by undercover sheriff's deputies during the operation. Sixty-two stores were checked, 27 sold alcohol to underage buyers. Nine of the stores were caught for the second time in one year.
One clerk sold to the undercover officers for the third time. District Attorney Ken Hodges says they are disappointed so many stores continue to sell to underage buyers. " We will be seeking harsher penalties for those individuals and stores. I'm certain the city and the county will start alcohol license reviews of these repeat offenders."
Sheriff Jamil Saba said "We don't know if they are just trying to make more money, or if they are just not looking at the I.D. cards right. But they need to pay attention because we don't any of these kids to get hurt. We don't want anyone to get hurt."
Earlier this year the Albany City Commission suspended store's license to sell alcohol for seven days after being caught for the second time.
You wonder what they do with the beer, wine, and malt liquor gathered in the stings. Right after the news conference Albany Dougherty Drug Unit officers poured it down the drain.
This is a complete list of the stores checked in the alcohol operation.

Six people are without a home after losing almost everything in a massive fire Friday morning
The blaze blocked off Route 231 (Gordonsville Road at Stony Point Pass) in Keswick for most of the afternoon as firefighters fought to bring it under control.
The fire was in a rural part of Albemarle County, without much access to water, and it escalated quickly.
"There was a lot of dark smoke coming out of the back of the house, and within probably five minutes the front of the house, the flames engulfed," Pamela Myers, a neighbor.
Myers and her mother watched the fire engulf their neighbor's home.
"I think I was the first one to see it, and I called it to her attention. And I ran in the house, got the phone and called," said Norma Smith, Myers mother.
It took crews more than two hours to get the fire knocked down, largely because they were in a very rural area, with little access to water.
"There's a pond down the road, and apparently they're drawing from that. But yeah, that's an issue," Myers.
"That's what we've trained to do, we've trained for incidents like this. We prepare for incidents like this, so we are prepared to arrive and go to work, and establish that water supply, and fight this thing in a rural environment," said Chief Dan Eggleston of Albemarle County Fire & Rescue.
Crews say much of what was left inside is destroyed, but no one was hurt.
"Things can be replaced, but not the lives," said Myers.
The only thing salvaged from the ashes was a Bible.
"It is a tremendous loss, and we want to be very sensitive to them, and try to get in and help them recover as much information as possible," said Eggleston.
The American Red Cross was on the scene helping the family. Disaster workers are providing financial aid to help with meals and clothing.

10/19: Florida at Missouri post-game report
The No. 22/22 Florida Gators (4-3, 3-2 SEC) were embarrassed by the explosive No. 14/14 Missouri Tigers (7-0, 3-0 SEC), falling 36-17 on the road at Farout Field in Columbia, MO. After the tough loss, Florida head coach Will Muschamp met with the media to provide some of his thoughts on his team and its defeat.
"We're just not a very good football team. Certainly not today. It falls on my shoulders. We're inept offensively. We have a hard time running it and certainly can't protect very well. It obviously showed today against the front we played against. Just very disappointed that we haven't made more positive strides offensively this season, just regressed again from last week. We're going to go back and work extremely hard to get those things corrected. Defensively, [we allowed] too many big plays. …
"As a football team, we didn't do enough good things out there, and that falls on my shoulders. We just need to get better and that's what we're going to do. Disappointed with the way we played. We need to improve and get better. We got an off week to get it turned around."
» Missouri improved to 2-1 all-time against Florida, winning the first and only game the two teams have ever played in Columbia.
» The Gators are now 1-5 in their last six games against ranked opponents, beating Florida State in 2012 but falling to Georgia, Louisville, Miami, LSU and Mizzou all since Oct. 27, 2012.
» Florida fell to 7-11 under Muschamp when rushing for fewer than 150 yards and 4-10 when tied or trailing at the half.
» The Tigers posted 500 yards of offense against the Gators' top-ranked defense, the most UF has allowed in a single game since the 2008 Capitol One Bowl against Michigan.
» Florida gained just 151 yards of offense, the fewest in a single game since the 1999 SEC Championship against Alabama.
» UF went 3-for-15 on first down, averaged 1.9 yards per rush and 6.1 yards per completion. Mizzou averaged 5.5 yards per carry and 16.4 yards per catch.
» The Gators' defense had allowed just one play longer than 40 yards all season but coughed up three on Saturday.
» Florida failed to hold an SEC opponent under 20 points for the first time in 14 opportunities.
» UF forced at least one turnover in 17-straight games.
» The Gators went 109:01 of game time dating back to Oct. 5 without scoring an offensive touchdown until crossing the goal line in the fourth quarter.
» Florida lost the time of possession battle (29:18-30:42) for the first time this season.
» The Gators did not sack the opposing quarterback once for the second-straight week.
» Florida's porous offensive line allowed six sacks on the afternoon.
» The Gators committed at least eight penalties in a game for the fifth time this season. Three of those five contests ended as losses.
» UF was held to 2.8 yards per carry and under 150 team rushing yards for the second-straight game and third time overall this season (two losses).
» Florida registered a season-high eight pass defenses.
» Freshman running back Kelvin Taylor registered career-highs of 12 carries and 74 yards – and scored his first career rushing touchdown – during Saturday's game. He has combined for 22 carries and 126 yards over the last two weeks.
» Senior wide receiver Solomon Patton returned a kickoff for a touchdown on the first play of the second half, catching the ball five yards into the end zone and bringing it back the length of the field. It was his first career return touchdown.
» Sophomore defensive back Brian Poole registered an interception, two tackles for loss and a pass defense. He nearly had a second interception, too.
» Redshirt junior walk-on kicker Frankie Valez kicked a 23-yard field goal in the first quarter and is now 3-for-3 on his career.
» Freshman punter Johnny Townsend made his first start and booted the ball eight times for 365 yards, averaging 45.6 yards per punt with a long of 61 and two touchbacks.

By Karen Cohilas - bio | email ALBANY, GA (WALB) – Congressman Sanford Bishop sat down with members of the SOWEGA Council on Aging Board Wednesday to get an update on plans for the new senior center.
All the land has been cleared and unsuitable buildings torn down at the site that will become the new headquarters for the Council on Aging and all its programs for seniors. Because of the economy, plans have been scaled back and an existing structure will be renovated inside and out to make a new headquarters.
Congressman Sanford Bishop says it's a long overdue building that's needed in the area. He said, "With the demographics, the large senior population, people are living longer now and of course, they need to have a high quality of life and Senior centers and the programs that they offer, SOWEGA Council on Aging and other aging agencies across the country, just are tremendous in improving that quality of life."
While at the Council on Aging offices Wednesday, Congressman Bishop was closely watched by Dougherty County deputies. They escorted him in and out of the meeting.
Bishop wouldn't say if he's had any specific threats since voting on the health care bill, only that Congressmen were advised to inform local law enforcement agencies where they would be traveling during the two week district work session.

While I don't blame Coach Reid for his challenge, I think the refs got it right: Fasano's shoulder hit ground before the ball touched/crossed the plane.
While I think Smith could have executed better on the 4th down play, I think going for it there was the right call.
Eric Fisher is coming along well. Last week, he gave up a sack early and allowed a pressure later by giving up on a block too soon. But his main opponent (J. Hunter) was held to just a single solo tackle, and nothing else. Allen is now the weakest link on our line.
Does anyone else think Jamaal Charles is having a significantly sub-par season?

The Republic of Guinea, Conakry, on the western coast of Africa has a history that mirrors that of many other countries on the African continent. From colonialism, imperialism and dictatorships, Guinea has managed up until the present to avoid major ethnic clashes. Although there have always been ethnic tensions hovering over the Guinean society, Peuhl, Malinke, Susu, Kisi and all other groups have found ways to live as one nation. The current outbreak of ethnic violence in the wake of the first and second rounds of elections has roots in the beginning of the modern Guinean state.

The event was a benefit for the San Francisco Bay View newspaper, an independent monthly that covers a variety of local and international stories. Her speaking tour follows her recent expedition on a Free Gaza boat attempting to break the siege of Gaza by sea and on a Viva Palestina caravan from Egypt that succeeded in delivering some of its cargo of humanitarian aid to Gaza.

University Student Ambassador Program (USA)
Since 1987, the Student Ambassador Program has been the premier leadership organization on campus. Ambassadors are comprised of the 25 best candidates from the Student Alumni Association and are appointed by UWF President Dr. Judy Bense to serve as the Official Hosts and Hostesses of the University of West Florida. Famous for their green jackets, the Ambassadors are called upon to assist at important University events such as Fall and Spring Commencement, Donor Dinners, the President's Barbeque, Athletic Hall of Fame Ceremonies and much more.
As student leaders, they devote a minimum of ten hours per month to special campus and/or community activities. These student volunteers are selected through an interview process based on minimum GPA requirement, communication abilities and an interest in promoting UWF. The ambassadors have assisted with numerous university functions and served as liaisons between students, faculty, alumni, parents and the community. Each new group of Ambassadors will complete an orientation that includes an overview of UWF's history, organizational structure, familiarity of campus layout and practice tours. Ambassadors also have the distinction of being able to serve on the Student Alumni Association (SAA) Leadership Council, the executive board of the Argos 4-Ever.
The Ambassador program is supported by the UWF Alumni Association and the Office of Alumni Relations.
Interested in this great opportunity? Ambassadors who are at least a second semester Freshman will be chosen each Fall and Spring as needed, so be sure to attend as many SAA events as possible to ensure you get the best chance to be considered for this prestigious group!

Very nice collections, thanks for share….
thanks for this article… very nice!!!
Great list, but i would add Fotobook and Facebook Photo Fetcher Plugins which are great for sharing your profile facebook or Fan Page photos on your wordpress enabled website…
Thanks for the tip! One of the drawbacks to a lot of these photo galleries is the inability to easily rearrange the order of pictures once they're uploaded. In Facebook, it's a simple drag & drop process.
Great compilation!! It really helped.
wow, thanks, it's all that I needed
These articles are fantastic; the information you show us is interesting for everybody and is really good written. It's just great!

Great list. I will recommend http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-gallery-plugin/ great plugin created using Jquery Nivo Slider.
Awesome plugins, thanks for all
I've not found a better platform for building and managing a website. Doesn't matter whether you're blogging, have a store front, create a massive business site or need a basic, static website to promote your services and products – WordPress can manage it all.
And te themes are not only good for personal use, but also for your clients, makes it easier to customize to there style.
The NextGEN Gallery picture shows a thumbnail bar over an image, but I don't see a way to make NextGEN Gallery generate a thumbnail bar.
I found funny plugin http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/funny-demotivators/ – demotivational pictures in wordpress
Here's a new free gallery plugin that we've just released. The thumbnails sit in the sidebar, and when clicked you get the main image loaded into the centre column.
You can find out more at http://www.kinocreative.co.uk/plugins and there's a support forum at http://www.support.kinocreative.co.uk.
All feedback is welcome on this one.
I'm looking for a gallery/thumbnail viewer that also lets the user download the full-sized image I have stored (I'm using this so that magazine editors can find and get photos of our products).
I don't want them to have to right-click, but I want a "download" or "save" link that will give them the full-sized image.
Oh, and ideally, I'd like to have some specs about the photo in a description area (e.g. actual size in pixels and KB)
could you not do a custom field (like nextgen gallery's custom fields plugin) and add the url to the full image in there?
Dear Friends,
I just saw your post it was really and i saw few more post about wordpress image gallery mac doc effect. what do you guys think about this product. Here is the source i found http://www.apptha.com/category/extension/Wordpress/Mac-Photo-Gallery
When I view your wordpress plugins its really amazing and nice to see… click through this link and find more updates http://www.apptha.com/category/extension/Wordpress/Apptha-Banner
Thanks a lot for this great list.
We were just looking for a facebook style gallery (for our event and photo site http://www.evefo.ch) and found more useful plugins!
NextGen gallery has been brilliant for me, great plugin and with the java addons its a pretty sleek gallery

How do you get your images on wordpress to work in all browsers?
Fantastic list. I have tried several of the flash galleries in the past and found that most of them use a lot of server resources. I use "Just Host" and they flip out and close your account if you hit 90% resource use. I had to just remove all galleries due to worry of losing my account after such an incident.
Does anyone have a suggestion for a gallery that uses very little resources? Perhaps just one you are using without problems on a host with the same 90% restriction.
Thanks for the great list.
these are the really most needed plugins for everyone it helps to choose the right gallery plugin for my site.
How is it that TN3 Gallery is a "WordPress Plugin". There is no WP plugin for TN3 Gallery on their website. Please, if you can, provide a link to a TN3 Gallery based WP Plugin. TIA
I agree with Marc – kind of misleading to have a non-wordpress product on this page. I bought the darned thing and now can't use it! According to TN3 they are working on a WP version but it is not out yet and no timeline mentioned…
It is simply superb and very interesting too……..
what about gallery that shows a full image? all of these are just square, landscape or portrait.. what about having a gallery with all options? I don't just photograph or design in all landscape or all portrait anyone know of anything good i can use for this?
You might want to add my new jQuery Facebook gallery to the list.
It's cool but not flash, so google will index your captions (and keywords with them)
You can stop uploading your photos to WordPress and just use your own existing Facebook Albums!
TN3 Gallery – JQuery Image Gallery is not a WordPress Plug-in. At least not yet. But not definitely at the time this article was written. Please update this article to remove TN3 from this list. Reading posts on TN3 website, many people are purchasing a license because many other websites have this listed as a WP plugin. Please help by removing TN3 from this list.
NOTE: As of 2/1/2012 TN3 still is suggesting that a plugin will be available very soon, but give no mention of an exact date. They've been saying "very soon" for a while now.
Nice review. Verry interesting.
galleries! thank you!!! for the designers, this is surely a job very well done
This a great collection of galleries that can be used for WordPress and other sites. Another easy to use gallery to consider is WP Easy Gallery.
Great list! We just launched Social Gallery (http://www.socialgalleryplugin.com) – which will add even cooler lightbox effects and will work with some of the gallery plugins here – it's a Facebook-style photo viewer for WordPress! Check it out!
thank's for your posting, is nice article, for me.
Nice plugins, thanks a lot.

Oxnard residents displaced by fire get temporary shelter
The Ventura County Board of Supervisors has secured nearly $41,000 for temporary housing to help families displaced by a fire in Oxnard more than two weeks ago.
About 95 people from 27 households were originally moved to the Oxnard College gymnasium, which was set up as a shelter with the aid of the American Red Cross, according to a county staff report. The shelter then moved to Frank Intermediate School in Oxnard.
The shelter stays were organized by the American Red Cross and will expire Friday.
At a special meeting Tuesday, supervisors unanimously approved a $40,652 transfer from the Ventura Riverbed Cleanup and Relocation project fund approved on Sept. 11, 2012, to the Human Services Agency. During the next 30 days, seven families will be placed in motels until social workers find them permanent housing, according to officials.
Agency Director Barry Zimmerman said about one-third of the displaced people are children younger than 5. Zimmerman said the temporary motel space will be safe for families and allow the children to remain in school and parents to continue working.
The Oct. 4 fire destroyed six buildings and three garages on South Oxnard Boulevard. Many residents were farmworkers.
Since the fire, social workers have found housing for 14 families, Zimmerman told the board. County officials said they have had limited contact with some families and so it was unclear whether they needed housing.
"I know we do our very best about finding places for families to stay. It may not always work, but I know your team will do everything they can," Supervisor Kathy Long said.
Supervisor Linda Parks said she was delighted for the county to be able to help families.
"I can't think of a better use for it," Parks said.
Editor's note: An earlier version of this story incorrectly stated who funded the Oxnard shelters.

I attended the Wembley game, Bears v Bucs,and it was a great experience. Not only for the vital win, but the opportunity to achieve a Chicago away game.This win put the Bears back on track towards play-offs. More after the jump.
I wore a Chicago Bears Eighties varsity jacket, that attracted a lot of attention.I was asked a number of times, by a lot of American Bear fans if it was for sale.I did not know it was that valuable, and after reflection, I don't think I could part with it. ( I am going to look after it a lot more and treat it with more respect ). Underneath the jacket, I had on a Richard Dent Throwback gameday jersey.With the man himself attending the event, I with a lot of patience,managed to get this signed by him. Also in attendance for the Bears, was another legendary player Otis Wilson,who could ask for anything more. Wow 2 great Chicago defensive players from the 4-6.. Under the jersey I wore a DA BEARS t-shirt.You would have thought, this was a home game for Chicago, by the number of navy and orange jersey,s worn on the day. I really enjoyed this event, and hopefully I get the pleasure of being able to get more Chicago Bear games under my belt.I will be putting the jersey in a frame, and hanging it on the wall next to my other framed Bear items,in my upstairs den.

About this event
The day focused on community building from both a social capital and economic development point of view. While many examples were about Greensboro, we tried to make the talks relevant to the development of any community. A particular success was the "imagine when..." exercise that occurred during the breaks and at lunch. We also held a reception the evening before to give participants a chance to meet and mingle.

10. As they always do at their home games, the No. 13 Miami football team ran onto the field amidst a cloud of ceremonious smoke Saturday night. Little did they know, the smoke this time was coming from the candles on Florida State coach Jimbo Fisher's birthday cake.
9. "I'm very proud of our football team," Fisher said. "We played a complete football game in all three phases, which we knew we would have to do to beat a very good Miami team."
8. "They just flat outplayed us from the first quarter to the fourth," Miami linebacker Sean Spence said. "I'm embarrassed. You never want to lose like this, especially on your home field."
7. "They ran the ball down our throat," said linebacker Colin McCarthy, referencing FSU's 298 rushing yards. "They hit us with big plays early and often that killed us."
6. "It's a real great feeling. It's great to be in Florida State's history book. You know, that's not a real easy thing to do," said Chris Thompson about his career-long 90-yard touchdown which is now the third longest in school history. Only Larry Key's 97-yarder in 1976 and Sammie Smith's 95-yarder in 1987 were longer. It was also the longest run ever surrendered by the Hurricanes.
5. "I tell you what, winning's nice, but dadgum, that's cold," said Jimbo Fisher with a laugh after received his first dousing of ice water.
4. "I'm not going to sugarcoat it," Miami coach Randy Shannon said. "We got our butts whipped. We didn't come out and play. We weren't ready. Period. It's embarrassing."
3. "We're learning to play on the road and in a hostile environment," Fisher said. "They're maturing. But we have so much room to grow and finish. We're still leaving a lot out there on the field. We have to push and find those inches and keep clawing for everything. But I'm proud of them."
2. "We had to win the battles. We couldn't just throw it. [Miami has] too many athletes," FSU coach Jimbo Fisher said. "If you can run and throw, you have to do it. It creates a toughness for your football team. That's what we tried to do. Just because he's not throwing for 300 yards, doesn't mean he's not playing great football. He's unselfish. He's throwing for under 200 yards and he's the happiest guy on the football field."
1. "I had about 10 minutes in the locker room. That's it. We're going to prepare for the next team," said Jimbo Fisher when aked if he was able to savor the win.
1A. BONUS QUOTE courtesy of K-Man with this prelude: After all the years of well-documented heartbreak and agony against the University of Miami and their mystique, this quote from Jimbo Fisher was a refreshing dose of goodness in an all-around refreshing past 10 months:
"You knew they had too much pride and competitiveness to not come back. I told (the players at the half) I'm calling (plays) like it's 0-0. I'm going to be aggressive and we're going to march down the field".

Employment Equity at OCAD University
Employment Equity is a federal government initiative whose purpose is to ensure all Canadians have a fair chance in the areas of recruitment, hiring, remuneration, promotion and training. This program strives for a diverse workforce, equitable and fair employment systems. In particular, it seeks to improve the employment status of four designated groups, namely Women, Aboriginal Peoples, Persons with Disabilities and Members of Visible Minorities, who have traditionally faced discrimination in the workplace. Under this program, employers are required to identify and remove barriers in employment policies and practices, remedy effects of past discrimination, and ensure proportionate representation of designated groups throughout the organization.
OCAD University is committed to supporting equity, diversity, inclusion and dignity of all people as well as establishing equal opportunities in employment. To that end, the university will seek to identify and remove barriers in employment including its recruitment, hiring, training, and promotion practices and foster a climate of equity. Over and above the four designated groups the University shall from time to time review status and identity other underrepresented groups
The Federal Contractors Program (FCP)
The Federal Contractors Program (FCP) requires that organizations with 100 or more employees and who receive at least $200,000 in federal contracts commit to implementing employment equity with regard to four designated groups — Aboriginal people, people with disabilities, visible minorities/racialized groups and women — by seeking to remove systemic barriers to the representation of these designated groups in the workforce. As of Fall 2010, OCAD U is voluntarily participating in the FCP.

Semin Traveled to Novosibirsk for 1st Lokomotiv Game
Alexander Semin lives in Krasnoyarsk, Russia, a 12-hour time difference from DC. On Sept. 6 he flew to Novosibirsk, 500 miles west of Krasnoyarsk, to watch the 1st game of the new Lokomotiv team. Unsurprisingly, he was quite affected by the plane crash a year ago, having known and/or played with several team members. I remember him saying he learned of the crash when his sister called him while he was driving. He had to pull over. This is a brief interview from Sept. 6. It needs Google translate or similar.

"I was shocked by it a little bit," Vikings linebacker Ben Leber told reporters. "It's something we have to stand behind. We're not going to let it be a distraction or anything like that. It'll be news today and then we'll come back on Wednesday and it will be forgotten about."
Today is Wednesday, and although I'm pretty sure the Moss waiver hasn't been "forgotten about", I certainly am not as upset as I was Monday. I actually feel pretty good, and I assume our team of professional football players are carrying on with business as usual. We have a home game against the Cardinals, which I predict get spanked pretty hard. I'm not even that angry with Childress anymore, although I still think this should have been handled much differently. My sincere hope is that Childress can keep his job for the rest of the season, because that will mean we're racking up W's. The freakshow is over, for better or for worse - let's get on with the rest of the season!
How about the rest of you Vikings fans? How are you feeling today?

QE2: Will the Fed Surprise the Markets?
(Updated with latest ADP private-sector employment numbers)
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Will the Federal Reserve's move to boost the flagging U.S. economy be too little to make a difference or will it be too much, too soon? That is the big question for investors anxiously awaiting the Federal Open Market Committee statement on Wednesday afternoon.
The S&P 500 has risen 14% since the central bank first hinted that it will resume the purchase of long-term assets to boost the economy -- dubbed QE2 -- in August. While the prospect of quantitative easing has driven down the dollar and helped push up stocks, investors remain uncertain of what the actual outcome of the Fed's move will be on the economy and job growth, as the central bank heads into unchartered territory.
Skeptics have said that further quantitative easing will do little to help an economy that is stuck in a "liquidity trap" and would only succeed in creating dangerous asset inflation. Supporters argue that the Fed must use every tool it has at its disposal to prevent the economy from slipping back into a recession and to keep the threat of deflation at bay.Fed chairman Ben Bernanke and his colleagues have, in various speeches over the last two months, tried to steer market expectations in a spirit of transparency. But Fed officials themselves have voiced disagreement on what the size and nature of the monetary stimulus should be -- and some have questioned whether it is warranted at all. The dissent within the central bank has led to divergent market expectations on what the central bank's ultimate announcement will look like. Estimates have ranged from $50 billion to $100 billion in monthly purchases over several months from those who expect an open-ended approach by the Fed to an injection of anywhere between $500 billion to $1 trillion through the end of 2011 by analysts who predict the central bank will make a more significant push. But the broad consensus appears to be settling at $500 billion. Brian Bethune of Global Insight expects the Fed to announce a minimum limit of $500 billion, a floor that was set by New York Fed President William Dudley in early October. "The Fed may give a range of $500 billion to $800 billion and make incremental purchases of $100 billion a month, which will then be calibrated to the performance of the economy," said Bethune. "This will give it some wiggle room to do a significant amount but not do too much."

The legal community must begin coming down harder on identity theft and the online companies who abet identity theft and make their fortunes by knowingly abetting criminal behaviour, in the instant case, the website Twitter.com.
Let us take a current real-world example involving the trademarked name of our own syndicated blog, LawPundit, whereby someone - not I, the trademark owner - has unlawfully taken the name lawpundit at Twitter. This unknown person who has surely chosen anonymity as a shield against his or her crime, is "following" legal websites, and is thus creating confusion for my own brand, since people think it is I. Here is my complaint to Twitter, sent today:
"This is the second complaint that I am lodging about identity theft at Twitter because the Twitter identity theft that I identified to you previously at http://twitter.com/lawpundit continues unabated.
You are knowingly - and thus criminally - abetting the infringement of my lawpundit trademark, since this is a form of common law fraud in order for you to make money.
LawPundit is a mark in trade, a trade mark, i.e. a trademarked name
specifically so declared online since September, 2003 in the phrase:
"LawPundit™ is a trademark name"
as found on over 1000 LawPundit postings online: see http://www.lawpundit.com/blog/lawpundit.htm.
A search of lawpundit by Google, for example, currently gives 34,000 hits. It is impossible that a good faith Twitter user could not have found that the name lawpundit is trademarked, since that trademark is declared on every website page of LawPundit at more than 1000 postings.
Someone - not I or anyone affiliated with me - has intentionally stolen the name lawpundit for use at Twitter and is following legal sites - thereby creating intentional confusion in the legal community that the "lawpundit" at Twitter is the present writer, which is not true. Anyone receiving a Tweet from this Twitter name might think that it is I. It is identity theft.
This complaint to Twitter is a formal legal request to close down that infringing Twitter account and to transfer the Twitter name lawpundit to me, Andis Kaulins, the rightful trademark owner.
You can see address information about lawpundit.com and me at WhoIs.net - http://www.whois.net/whois/lawpundit.com, where I am listed as the owner of the website, since the year 2003.

If this correction is not done promptly, I intend to sue Twitter as an example of a clear case where people are making money by acting wilfully as accomplices to identity theft, and I will see if I can convince local prosecutors to lodge criminal charges against the management and board of directors of Twitter, because once Twitter has been advised of the facts, continued permission of the use by infringer(s) of the name lawpundit in a legal context is an intentional criminal act.
Thank you.

Effective April 1, the El Toro post office in Lake Forest will reduce its hours, officials said.
The Raymond Way office is one of seven Orange County postal outlets scaling back hours to save money, according to a U.S. Postal Service press release.
The El Toro branch's new hours will be 8:30 to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday and 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturdays.
The other post offices cutting hours are in Irvine, Huntington Beach, Costa Mesa, Laguna Hills and Orange.
The locations were chosen "after careful analysis of customer traffic patterns and transaction history," the USPS said.
All of the affected branches have automated kiosks available 24 hours a day to purchase stamps, weigh mail and ship packages, officials noted.
In addition, usps.com enables customers to buy stamps, print shipping labels and download postage, schedule a free package pickup, change their address when they move, look up ZIP codes and hold mail when they are away.

Fire investigators are looking for the cause of an early morning house fire that heavily damaged a Breckenridge, MN home.
The fire started early Wednesday morning at a home on the 800 block of 11th Street North. Smoke alarms alerted the family to the fire and the two adults, three teenagers, a dog and a cat were able to get out safely.
Homeowner, Alan Comeau, describes getting out of the house as in-describable and frightening.
"You see it all the time and you think god I bet I could get through the smoke but it's a whole different story, you suck it in you can't breathe you cant see it takes your breath away, you don't want to breathe," said Comeau.
The home is a total loss and The American Red Cross is providing shelter for the family in a hotel, along with clothing and food.
The Red Cross says they will be reaching out to other community partners to help the family recover.
The investigation of the cause is focusing on the outside of the house on the front porch. Fire officials say it may have been caused by a cigarette.

Trude Wright loves spending time at her summer camp in Milton with her grandchildren.
"The lake and the trees, the cedars and the Adirondacks across the lake," she said.
But something she can't enjoy right now is fresh drinking water from her spring.
"First time in 45 years we're not able to drink it," Wright said.
The spring she shares with neighbors has been contaminated with toxins, even after they treated it with bleach.
"The folks that maintain it cleaned the tanks, purged the lines. We did everything we're supposed to do according to the water authority and tested it again and it still came back funky," Wright said.
She and her neighbors think the near-constant rain this summer is to blame. They've sent samples to the Vermont Department of Health, which are consistently testing positive for both coliform and e.coli. That could make them sick.
"Usually gastrointestinal illness, things like stomach cramps, nausea, vomiting," said Sarah Vose, the toxicologist for the Vt. Department of Health.
Vose has seen an increase in concern in recent weeks.
"What we've seen is that small towns where there could be isolated flash flooding-- there are a lot of calls from the areas that may be flooded on that day," Vose said.
She says runoff into springs and standing water on top of well covers are just a few reasons many water supplies are unsafe to drink this summer.
"If there are any rivers or culverts that have changed patterns or come closer to a well, that could indicate some changes in the quality of the well water," Vose explained.
She says if you notice any sediment coming from your faucet or if the water has a funny smell don't drink it. Either boil it or switch to bottled water until you can get a test kit from the state.
"If their tests come back positive for coliform we do recommend they shock their well with chlorine and we have guidelines on our website on how to do that," Vose said.
She says usually one round of disinfection will do the trick, but Trude Wright is still waiting for the second dose of chlorine to work its way through.
"It's not really unexpected," Wright said. "Like you would think, 'How could this possibly have happened?' But it's a consequence."

Matt Herren finished up 18 holes at The Patch, golf course, but to hear him tell it it's not really playing golf.
"It's kind of in disrepair right now the tee boxes all messed up it's kind of like hitting off of dirt, the greens some of them have grass, he said.
Months of no maintenance have taken a severe toll on the course, the city is again going out for proposals to find a private operator, and meanwhile the Recreation Department has submitted a proposal for more than $580 thousand dollars in the 2014 budget to fully staff and operates the course next year.
But right now the city currently operates it on a shoestring.
"Some of the greens you know you putt on them, you got little canyons you for little valleys balls goes left ball goes right," says Floyd Strausser a Patch regular.
This week the Georgia High School Association announced it is bringing the state golf championships back to Augusta next May.
1000 kids needing 14 courses, and though courses in Thomson,Waynesboro and Columbia County will be hosting events The Patch didn't make the cut, and commissioners say for the city owned course in the home of the Masters that's nothing to be proud of.
"Well we're not proud of it it's been back in our hands for over a year now we just haven't designated the funding or adequate funding to really address it and get it back up to par we've been trying to figure out what route we're going to go with it," says Mayor Pro-Tem Corey Johnson.
"Well I think it's shameful. I can understand why they would avoid because we haven't done what we are supposed to do," says Commissioner Bill Lockett.
In its current condition the High School association wanted no part of The Patch current players are not surprised at all.
"No it's not a good display of Augusta golf, in my opinion," said Herren.
They saw it its pretty bad," said Strausser,
"It's embarrassing?"
"It is yes", he said.
"There's no excuse I just hope this is some type of incentive or motivation for us to go on and do what we need to do with that particular golf course," says Lockett.
The tournament Director for the state championships, Wade Marchman, says The Patch was looked at to host an event in 2011 for the 2012 tournament, but the concern was the city was preparing to lease it so there was a question of whether it would be available.
The same for next year Marchman says a lack of stability at the course and of course condition kept The Patch out of play.
Bob Levine Recreation and Parks Director say the Request for Proposal has been presented for commisisoners to make informal comments they'll have until November 15th to do so.
The plan is to then turn the RFP over to the Procurement Department November 22nd.

Race car suspension Class

some notes on wheel hop
you said
When straight line braking , such as in road racing whatstops wheel hop or rear wheel lock up with out dialing all front brake in.
Rear wheel hop is basically the suspension gets into a resonant situation and doesn't dampen itself out.
Under acceleration, the rear suspension compresses. Due to inertia, the wheel continues traveling upward. This unloads the tire, reducing the acceleration force. The spring then pushes back down on the wheel, and it regains traction, forcing the wheel back up.
Play and movement in suspension arms can exaggerate the problem.
The best way to fix it depends on the vehicle. Vehicles suspension can be designed with "anti-squat" capabilities, but at the expense of ride quality. 4 link cars with solid rear axles can use "no hop" bars to change the suspension geometry.
Angle of upper link on rear end will effect wheel hop. A large amount of anti squat ( down hill angel of top link) will cause rear end lightness and rear wheel hop under braking. The 3rd link shock will effect it as well.
Shocks, shocks shocks..check the shocks...stiffer shocks will help.
Leaf spring cars can use traction bars to eliminate it.
is there any rear measurements that can be adjusted to stop so much weight transfer to the front when braking , or be able to make the whole car lower during braking
Stiffer ARB ( sway bar). Softer rear spring package. Need to keep more weight on rear end.
Also, test the car with a light fuel load because the weight difference (sometimes in the neighborhood of 150 pounds) can affect wheel hop as well. Wheel hop is less likely on production-based sports cars with an independent rear suspension because the center- section of the axle is hung by the chassis, but it can still occur especially if an unskilled driver is punching the brakes and shifting the gears

The Rams football team will try to slow a potent passing attack in Friday's conference opener.
Mt. Vernon (2-1) travels to Belleville where its will face Althoff (1-2) at Lindenwood University. The Crusaders enter the game after watching Mascoutah rally past them in the final quarter last week.
"I'm sure they've had a tough week of practice and prepared for us," Mt. Vernon football coach Jared Shaner said. "They got second in state last year, made a deep run and had a nice season. I don't care who you lose, if you're going that deep in the playoffs, you're a good football program. You don't go from that level to being a bad team or a bad program in one season."
Four-year starter and quarterback Eric Mertens will be a central focus for the Rams defense. Mertens has already attempted more than 100 passes this season through three games. Two of his favorite targets are Keenan Young and Luke Frazier.
"They just have some weapons at receiver and running back," Shaner said. "They have a lot of kids who have some experience from last year's team, and they're just fast, athletic. They get them the ball in open space, and it's tough bringing them down."
Shaner said defensive pressure will be key, but he doesn't expect the experienced Mertens to get rattled no matter what happens in the game.
"This kid has a ton of experience," Shaner said. "I don't know if you're going to rattle him to the point where he's making poor decisions or anything. But if you can just speed up a quarterback … it can be huge. It can be the difference between a perfectly placed ball, which he can do a lot or maybe just one that's just a little bit off one way or the other."
The Rams have had success this season putting pressure on opposing quarterbacks with nine sacks this season.
"Our (defensive) line has been a bright spot for us," Shaner said. "I think those guys have done a good job. Coach (Troy) Medvick our new guy on staff is doing a nice job with them, and they are getting out and playing well."
Pressure might be more challenging for the Rams this week because of how quick the Crusaders' passing game works, and it emphasis on short receiving routes.
"Hopefully our (defensive) line will come to play on Friday, and get after him a little bit," Shaner said.
The Rams are riding a two-game win streak entering Friday's matchup after victories against Mascoutah and Triad. In both games the Rams controlled the ball and ran it effectively. Last week against the Knights, Mt. Vernon was turnover free.
Shaner said solid perimeter blocking and limiting turnovers remain a focus for the team along with minimizing dead ball penalties like formation violations and false starts.
Friday's game starts at 7 p.m.

Great... RR and CC will meet with his agent. Were screwed. Man, Nellie likes pushing players out of town.
YES! This is even more exciting than the Warriors beat-down of the hated Utah Jazz tonight at the Roaracle. Amare to the Bay! And for the record I'd give up BOTH Monta Ellis and Andris Biedrins to get it done. Hey if the Suns want cap space, maybe they can trade for Monta and then void his deal citing Moped Gate- I kid. Also check out what MT's got: Warriors Want Amare [Inside the Warriors] Amare Trade Rumor Open Thread [Bright Side of the Sun]
Our friends at the excellent CelticsBlog find this surprising? They ain't seen nothing yet!
It's not official yet and nothing's for sure till we see a press release from either the Warriors or Knicks, but here's my initial reaction: Fantastic move for the Warriors and the Knicks are really, really angling for that 2010 free agent campaign. Definitely stop by Posting and Toasting for some Knickerbocking thoughts. Also check out what GSoM buddy Tim Kawakami has to say: Harrington to Knicks is close to happening, but do the Warriors get Crawford or Rose? [Talking Points]
In the golden age of GSoM I used to append the end of every rumor with "99% of rumors never happen, but 99% of them are fun to talk about." In this piece SoulHonky breaks down "how 90% of NBA rumors are born."
"Danilo Gallinari is available during the next draft. Is he a player who can fit in with the Raptors? 'Gallinari is an optimal player. The problem is that we pick 17th this year and by that time Gallinari will have been selected by another team.' Could you make a trade to ensure a higher draft pick? 'We can, certainly, but that would not guarantee that we'd get Gallinari. Last season we tried to do the same thing to get Belinelli but it didn't work out.' But Belinelli isn't playing for Golden State. Considering him doesn't seem to be out of the question. Wouldn't you like to bring him to Toronto and have him play alongside Bargnani? 'Belinelli is a very talented player who can do well in the NBA. However, just like Bargnani, he has physical strength issues. I'm convinced that he'd integrate well in a situation such as Toronto, and that here he'd have more opportunity than he had at Golden State.'" -- Mario Cangnetta for Tandem

The regeneration of Portsmouth's waterfront has opened up a wealth of possibilities for events
In 2005, Portsmouth discovered its waterfront. Formerly MOD land in a relatively down-at-heel part of the city, the creation of Gunwharf Quays, with its array of bars, restaurants, shops and entertainment venues – with plenty of sunny waterside terraces – has transformed the area.
The development was based on the Victoria and Albert waterfront in Cape Town, and, on a sunny May afternoon, the comparison doesn't feel as absurd as it might have done five years ago. The city owes much of its rapid progress to a forward-thinking council, which has not been too shy to sanction bold additions to its traditional maritime architecture, most notably the striking Spinnaker Tower. The new arrivals now sit side-by-side with the meticulously restored tall ships and the handsome naval buildings for which Portsmouth has long been renowned.
While it may not be a city for five-star hotels or gleaming conference centres, the varied range of quirky traditional and contemporary venues, combined with a pro-active, efficient convention bureau and easy access from London, make Pompey a playground for the imaginative organiser.
The New Waterfront
A breakfast reception on the observation deck of the Spinnaker Tower (tel: 023 9285 7520), 100m above sea level with views stretching 23 miles on a clear day, is the perfect introduction to the city. The iconic building, an inspiring modern structure that soars skywards from the waterfront, was opened in 2005 and has fast become an emblem of the new Portsmouth. Two of its three observation decks are available to hire for morning and evening events, with space for a 150-person reception on the first (with a dizzying 'don't look down' glass platform), and a sit-down meal on the second. Branding can take a more traditional form – screens in the entrance hall, for example – or there's always the less conventional option of abseilers delivering brand messages from outside the windows of the observation decks. For those without a head for heights, the sunny south-facing roof terrace, just above ground level below the main body of the tower, can accommodate a marquee seating up to 200.
At the foot of the Spinnaker, bustling Gunwharf Quays (tel: 023 9283 6700) can provide a fresh, contemporary backdrop for events. The complex does have function rooms, but far more interesting are the outdoor spaces, including the central plazas, pontoons and canalside areas, which are used predominantly for product launches and exhibitions. There are branded restaurants and bars by the bucketload, as well as a bowling alley and comedy club Jongleurs (tel 023 9229 8563), which hosts corporate comedy events for 360 cabaret-style, though the venue can hold 1,200. The enormous Tiger Tiger (tel: 023 9288 2244) also offers ample space for entertaining, with six bars across two floors, though the nicest space is the 200-capacity restaurant, which has a balcony overlooking the harbour. A shiny new 130-bedroom Express by Holiday Inn (tel: 023 9289 4240) also offers two pleasant enough conference rooms for 50 delegates each and there's on-site parking.
For an edgier approach, contemporary art gallery Aspex (tel: 023 9277 8080) has been installed in a former naval storehouse next to Gunwharf Quays. The ample proportions of the historic building lend themselves to the minimalist modern style of the gallery, with a fresh, whitewashed main space for drinks receptions of 150. The café and Intro area seats 50 for food or 80 for theatre-style presentations on a huge projector screen. The excellent in-house catering majors in simple, well-sourced ingredients, and a small boardroom seats 10.
Historic Dockyard
Portsmouth is justifiably proud of its naval heritage, and the handsome dockyard is home to three of the most famous ships in the world: HMS Warrior 1860, HMS Victory and the Mary Rose. HMS Warrior (tel: 023 9277 8600), a Victorian Battleship, is the only one available for hire. Its sleek iron-hulled exterior hides a meticulously restored interior and evening drinks receptions can be arranged on the enclosed deck, before guests retreat to the spaces below for dinner.
The intimate Wardroom seats 20 for dinner and there's a larger Half Deck for up to 60, but the most exciting space is undoubtedly the Gun Deck. With 24 bench tables of 10, between the huge black canons that line either side of the room, atmospheric evening events can be bathed in torchlight or set to sea shanties.
As well as its shining maritime showpieces, the Dockyard's converted boathouses offer sizeable and versatile event spaces in Portsmouth's naval heart. Action Stations (tel: 023 9289 3338) in Boathouse No. 6, is home to navy-based interactive exhibitions and experiences, but also has a 275-seat auditorium and cinema, while a single pared-down function space in Boathouse No. 7 (tel: 02392 728065) has a dinner capacity of 350 people. On the other hand, if you're planning to go all the way with the historic theming, the Mary Rose Museum (tel: 023 9281 2931) celebrates the ship's 16th-century heyday with costumed guided tours and Tudor Banquets complete with buxom wenches and old English fare for up to 56.

Three of the Best - Forts
Set on a rock in the middle of The Solent, this 19th-century fort has been converted into a 180-capacity conference and party venue. A short ferry ride from the mainland, the alfresco spaces are well worth the journey, and the venue is renowned for its spit-roast dinners. There is accommodation for four in the fort's lighthouse.
The Solent, tel: 01329 242077
Built in the 15th century, this two-floor tower, with
a roof overlooking the harbour approach and a number of original Tudor features, comes fairly rough and ready. It's therefore best suited to exhibitions and shows, but if you've got a production budget, it's a memorable setting for dinners of 60 upstairs and 80 down.
Broad Street, tel: 023 9282 7261
Portsmouth's principal defence against invasion for nearly 400 years, this fortress on the point in Southsea is available for exclusive hire for dinners of 100, which are held in a purpose-built marquee in the castle grounds. It's the place to come for atmosphere rather than technology, but conferencing facilities are also offered.

Hundreds of consumers in our area have received the telephone calls, telling them someone has purchased a medic alert system just for them.
The caller says, "We're calling to schedule delivery of your medical alert system."
It's the "fallen and I can't get up" type of system you've seen on TV.
The calls come in on the consumer's land line and the cheerful voice says all they have to do is "press one" to have their medic alert device sent to them.
"There's no cost to you whatsoever. Also says here that the shipping has already been paid for, so to schedule the delivery of your emergency medical alert system, press one," claims the unidentified caller.Jo Ann Beam is one of many who received the call.
"We've had multiple calls, probably about five in the last six weeks," said Jo Ann.
While Jo Ann didn't fall for it, she's concerned others might.
"To me, it was a scam that would hurt some people if they fell for it. I just thought, how can people, is it worth it to have a job to have to do something like that?" she said.
Carmen Million, president of the SWLA Better Business Bureau, says while the calls appear to be local they are likely from outside the country.
"These companies are contacting consumers nationwide. Every Better Business Bureau has received this particular call and every call is basically the same. The only thing that's different is that the number that shows up on the caller ID shows up as a local phone number. And we've contacted the number, we've not been able to get through. The calls are being made from a voice Internet call, so it's not just a normal telephone. They're using a voice over network to get to consumers and they're contacting a large number of people," said Million. Million suspects people who agree to have the alert system shipped will wind up being victimized in some way, likely by someone seeking their personal information.
"Eventually, they're going to want something from them whether it's their Social Security number, their personal financial information. They're going to want something from that consumer. We haven't talked to anybody who's actually received a medic alert, at this point," said Million.
Million said a number listed on some phones is caller ID 318-309-4967 which she said is a call via Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) which is a call made over an Internet provider network.
Again, Million warns against ever giving personal financial information to an unknown caller. When in doubt, check it out by calling your Better Business Bureau at 337-478-6253.

WILMINGTON, NC (WECT) – A person was shot during an attempted armed robbery in the 800 block of Dawson St. in Wilmington Wednesday night.
Lieutenant Blanton with the Wilmington Police Department said a person was driving down Dawson Street then pulled over to the side of the road to talk with a family friend. According to the victim, a man came up to the car and demanded money.
The driver of the vehicle refused to give the man money, and that's when the suspect pulled a gun.
The driver still refused to give the man money, so the suspect "racked the weapon," effectively loading it, so the driver of the vehicle took off.
According to Blanton, the suspect shot the driver in his car as he was trying to get away. The bullet entered the man's left arm and exited his body through his right arm.
The man drove himself to New Hanover Regional Medical Center with non-life threatening injuries.
Police say the suspect is a thin black man between 17 and 25 years of age, with dreads down to his shoulders. The suspect was wearing a black jacket and carrying a black handgun.
Authorities say this is still an active investigation and will release more details at a later time.

I have never seen a draft this uncertain. For all we know this could end up being 2001 draft all over with the best players coming far later. Here is my quick assessment.
Williams = Is a tweener...so I think he has the ability to be a niche(y) star player. Like Lamar Odom, he has a good shot off the pass and a terrific drive but he does not seem like he has a shot off the dribble...once again like Lamar Odom. At best I feel like he heads Melo / Barkley route and becoming a bully SF with a good shot. At worst... and more likely, I see him going Jamison route and being an All star quality Offensive player without an identity on any team. It seems like tweeners are doomed for being 6th man award type players (Jamison, Odom).
Kanter = A worthy gamble (6 and 18 worthy). Worst case scenario, Darko, Laetner, etc. Though he has been likened to Marc Gasol and Horford, I see him more in the likeness of Tim Duncan. Not athletic, but sound and immovable. If he could be anywhere close to Timmy D, in any capacity, a worthy gamble.
Vesely = Joe Alexander
Biyombo = Seraphin on steroids. I really liked the Seraphin pick and I still do, so naturally I really like Biyombo. The one thing that has me wanting Kanter more is our team needs. Biyombo will not be anything offensively and will be raw outside of 1 on 1 D and the spectacular weakside block. The fact is, we already have this guy, though he is more athletic and less physical. Ideally I would love to have both Kanter and Biyombo if it was pssible to trade Blatche for the possibility.
