Google to Focus on LG Nexus 5 Release Date, Gives X-Phone Project Driver's Seat to Motorola
- Order Reprints
- Text Size
By Erik Pineda | May 10, 2013 3:01 PM EST
There will be one Google smartphone flagship set for a grand release date this year, a new report, and it will be the LG-manufactured Nexus 5.
The internet search giant has handed over the steering wheel of the X-Phone to its subsidiary, Motorola Mobility, according to a new report published by blog site Android Guys. It appears that Google grew frustrated with the Motorola handset development, deeming the undertaking as not innovative enough, the report added.
The source of the story is an analyst from China named Sun Changxu. Ms Changxu revealed that Google has abandoned the project, apparently disappointed with the shortfalls encountered in putting together what it envisioned originally as a game-changing smartphone.
But the analyst quickly clarified that the Motorola X-Phone remains on course for release date this year, possibly in August. Google's withdrawal will only mean that the main entity to steer the project to completion would be Motorola.
The backtracking move also translates into the likelihood that the upcoming X-Phone is no longer an exclusive Google gadget. This explains the recent leaked images of the smartphone that showed U.S. carrier AT&T having a prominent role on its scheduled American market debut.
The report seems to back recent rumours that Google and LG have agreed on a new partnership that would produce the Nexus 5, a follow up on the Nexus 4 that gained immediate popularity on its release but faltered due to supply chain issues.
With the shift of focus, it is more likely that it is the LG Nexus 5 that will access the first latest Android make that analysts said will be unveiled via the annual I/O Developers Conference, set for staging a few weeks from now.
Google, however, has kept its silence on the matter and there are no clear indications if the smartphone will be unwrapped through the same event. It is the Nexus 7 that will be introduced by Google during the gathering, KGI Securities analyst Ming-chi Kuo said in a new note.
The Nexus 5, nonetheless, will be a recipient of the new stock Android build that the Google event will surely let out. It could be Jelly Bean 4.3 or Key Lime Pie, according to conflicting reports.

Egg, Tuna, or Chicken Salad - You can put lettuce between the bread and the salad to keep the bread from getting soggy.

Running The X.Org Server Without Root Privileges
Published on 26 September 2010 01:40 AM EDT
Written by
Michael Larabel
5 Comments
Besides talking about
the X.Org Server development process
the X.Org Server 1.10 plans
, Keith Packard also talked about not running the X.Org Server as root (also sometimes referred to as a "root-less X Server") during
XDS Toulouse
Thanks to kernel mode-setting and other improvements to the X.Org Server, we are basically there, but it's something that has been said
for over a year
. Moblin though has been running
the X.Org Server as a user
since their Moblin 2.0 release and now with the MeeGo operating system while others are now looking to get in on the root-free action.
Canonical hoped to
not run the X.Org Server as root
with their forthcoming Ubuntu 10.10 release, but they didn't make that goal. Though the Ubuntu developers are just about there so it should be a candidate for
Ubuntu 11.04
As talked about at the X.Org Developers' Summit in Toulouse, one of the last development changes to overcome is how to handle input devices when you have multiple X.Org Servers not running as the root user so as to know which input to direct to the appropriate X.Org Server. For those more interested in this topic, below you can see/hear our compressed recordings from this XDS talk. There aren't any slides or other visuals really expressed so the audio feed is more important than anything else.
Due to YouTube limitations, the video is available in three parts.

Was cool anyways
The preloader was simple as almost always is. The animation itself seemed a bit random but hey, not every flash needs a plot line with good animation to be a piece of art. Several artists got front page despite their flash not always having a real plot to them at all. This little animation is no real exception since it still fits into the random comedy section anyways.
The animation seemed to look alright here so not bad for only working on this for an hour. What caused that sea creature to blow up at the start if I can ask you that? That part seemed awkwardly funny in a way. Then you had the friends talking and apparently the gift was a fish that makes completely random sounds.
Overall, was humorous even though it was random and the such.
that was ok
i know that this was quickly done but if you spend a little more time on these you could make something a hundred times better.
what you should do instead of submitting short animations one by one you could save them up and make a montage.
Sounds like a good idea.
Not Bad..
For an hour of work.
Back to the drawing board
Not clever, witty, funny nor amusing. Your arnt a terrible artist but not plot = fail.
Tell that to Egoraptor.
We Will Give You The Best Sex Ever
That damn song is in my head.
For a Flash made in one day, this is kind of okay. It's a random blurb, but hey, not every cartoon has to be a masterpiece.
Doesn't stop it from sucking major.

Tom Mannin, the pastor of Oklahoma City Community Church which uses the Oklahoma City Civic Center Music Hall for its worship services, is breaking his silence on the city's decision to allow a satanic "black mass" and the Christian service to be held inside the same building later this month.
In a blog entry posted Tuesday on the church's website, Mannin said his congregation, as well as Christians in general, have to respond with "love and hope" toward the Dakhma of Angra Mainyu who will hold a black mass in a theatre space at the civic center.
"As a church, we want to respond as people of love, who are consistent with the teachings of Jesus and the ways he responded to those who rejected him and even hated him," Mannin wrote. more >>
"Strangers to Fire: When Tradition Trumps Scripture," an anthology published by the Foundation for Pentecostal Scholarship rebuts John MacArthur's "Strange Fire" book and conference which took aim at the charismatic Christian movement and their use of the supernatural gifts of the Holy Spirit.
The book, compiled by 26 scholars, consists of two parts with the first half giving direct replies to John MacArthur's "Strange Fire" and the latter with classic replies to cessation theology.
Cessationist Christians hold to the view that the supernatural gifts such as healing, speaking in tongues and prophesying were used as signs to confirm the validity of who Jesus and his followers were and that they are no longer necessary for the church. They also believe the position of Apostle no longer exists. more >>
Justin Kintzel, worship pastor for Liberty University's Campus Band, has been nominated for a Dove Award from the Gospel Music Association.
A release from the university said he was nominated for his original songs "Love Displayed" and "Death is Overcome," both of which are featured on Vital Worship's "Songs For The Living King," which was nominated in the "special event album of the year" category.
Kintzel explained that the nomination shocked him because it was the first time his music had been distributed nationally. more >>
As ISIS continues to pose a menace to religious minorities in Iraq and Syria, Christians from the region have spoken with horror about what the terrorist group is doing to their communities.
Auday P. Arabo, lay spokesman for the St. Thomas Chaldean Catholic Diocese, told The New York Times that Iraqi Christians are calling it "a slow-motion genocide."
"It's unfortunate people don't feel it until it hits home. But I guess it's human nature that you only see what's happening in the mirror," said Arabo. more >>
As teenagers across the United States begin their school years this week, one Ohio adolescent will be preparing to preach the Gospel.
Kory Logan, a 16-year-old preacher whose father heads Mt. Zion Missionary Baptist Church in Glendale, will be a featured speaker at that congregation's youth event later this month.
Logan told local media that years ago he felt a calling to preach, being the fourth generation in his family to answer such a calling. more >>
Steven Curtis Chapman will embark on Joy: The Christmas Tour this holiday season which will hit more than a dozen cities.
The tour will also feature Grammy nominee Brandon Heath and special guest singer/songwriter Jillian Edwards. Joy starts off in Houston, Texas on Nov. 29 and will travel throughout the East until the week of Christmas.
"The Christmas season is my very favorite time of year, and I'm so looking forward to this get-together of friends and family," said Chapman in a press release. "My band, crew and I have been working on the plan for the tour and the song list, and it's going to be a great night of caroling, worshipping, storytelling and fun as we celebrate the hope and the joy of our Savior's birth together.

Battle of the 'Titanic' TV Series: Chris Noth and Neve Campbell Join 'Blood and Steel'
Production is already underway on the 'Titanic' mini-series, which has been penned by 'Downton Abbey' creator Julian Fellowes and will star 'Law & Order' vet Linus Roache among others.
Now casting is being finalized for a rival 12-part series 'Blood and Steel.'
According to Deadline, Derek Jacobi ('The King's Speech,' 'I, Claudius'), Chris Noth ('Sex and the City'), Neve Campbell ('Scream') and Kevin Zegers ('Gossip Girl') are all in various stages of negotiations to join the project.
Law and Order's Linus Roache: In the Limelight
Well, it turns out that Linus Roache played Robert Kennedy in the mini-series, RFK. The Kennedy connection was even alluded to in last week's episode; at the end of the show, after McCoy had to defend his decision to prosecute overzealous New York City cops by taking the stand in open court, Roache's character, Cutter, gives him a tie pin that once belonged to RFK. With the last line of the show, Cutter says, "I found it on EBay."
Quinn joins FOX's Canterbury's Law
Aidan Quinn, who was last seen in the anti-7th Heaven drama Book of Daniel, has joined the cast of FOX's Canterbury's Law, which stars Juliana Margulies. He will have a recurring role as Matt Furey, husband to Marguiles' character. Elizabeth Canterbury.
Now, if you have seen a preview of the show on the FOX website you're probably saying to yourself 'Wait, doesn't she have a husband already?'. Well, yes. It's Matthew Canterbury, played by Linus Roache. Only Linus, the show's producers and FOX broadcasting know the reasons for the re-casting. So goes television.
Roache joins Law and Order
Linus Roache, who starred in NBC's Kidnapped, has joined Law and Order as an assistant district attorney. His character will replace Jack McCoy (Sam Waterston), who moves to serve as New York district attorney. McCoy (Waterston) replaces D.A. Arthur Branch, who was played by former real-life senator Fred Thompson. Thompson left the series to explore a possible presidential bid.
Roache also appeared in Canterbury's Law, a midseason pilot for FOX starring Juliana Margulies as a lawyer who doesn't mind bending the rules. It's unknown at this time whether or not Roache will appear in both series.
Roache's other credits include the movies Batman Begins and the TV movie RFK, in which he played Robert F. Kennedy.

So its not just me! Hahaha, its gotta be a bug
Are you pressing F or B on the control panel to pull it apart? I am and it doesn't get pulled apart it just releases and comes after me again, I've killed its tentacles over and over and the three yellow orbs from his mouth (they dont even regrow for me, the ones in its mouth that is, the three on top keep regrowing but he wont die even after he gets trapped by the harpoons and I press the button over and over)

and 9; and
FIG. 11 is a crosssection view taken at the lines 11-11 of FIG. 1a.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT Referring now to FIG. la, there is showna side view I of a fowl wetting and defeathering system. A conventional overhead roller-chain conveyor 10 extends along a predetermined path through a prewetting station 11,
the length of the conveyor 10 and animal carcasses 21 are suspended therefrom for moving along the path of the conveyor 10. It will be understood that the present invention is useful for the processing of animal carcasses other-than fowl, such as for pretreating hog carcasses prior to dehairing operations. In the preferred embodiment, for simplicity of illustration, the processing' of fowl will be described hereafter.
transported therebetween and pull the feathers away As shown in FIGS. la and 2, theprewetting station I 11 comprises a chamber open at opposed ends and inattached to conduits hot fluid is forced from the spray nozzles 23 for impingement upon the bodies of the fowl as they are carried therethrough by the overhead conveyor 10.
Each of the conduits 21a and 22a and 21b and 22b are mounted for pivotal or nutating movement and are oscillated by electric motors 31 and 32 through offcenter crank arrangement, one of which is illustrated in FIG. 10. As shown in FIG. 1c, the electric motor 32 drives a crank member 33 having a rotatably mounted pin 34 extending from the front face near the edge. The pin 34 is connected to a pair of circular members 35 and 36 by means of adjustable shafts 37 and 38. The centers of each of the circular members 35 and 36 are 21b and 22b which extend through the circular members to the rotary fluid connections 24 (FIG. la). The lengths of the shafts 37 and 38 can be varied to adjust the rate and the arc of oscillation of the conduits. As the crank member 33 is rotated by the motor 32, the conduits 21b and 22!) are oscillated in opposite directions so that while one conduit is spraying the lower part of the fowl the other conduit is spraying the upper part of the fowl. The conduits 21a and 22a are driven by the motor 31 through an eccentric crank arrangementidentical to that shown in FIG. 1c. Preferably, the conduits oscillate between 15 and 75 com plete'cycles per minute. In place ofthe electric motors, 31 and 32, the conduits may be powered by motors driven by the high pressure water, steam, or air. The purpose of the prewetting spray is to wash loose feathers, dirt and other debris from the fowl prior to 7 their enteringthe main housing of the apparatus Also, the hot fluid pretreats the feathers and tends to make the subsequent operations more efficient. It should be further noted that the prewetting station 11 serves as an excellent shackle washer and sterilizer when empty shackles are passed through it and high temperature water is sprayed upon the shackles.
FIG. lb illustrates a front view of the entrance to the prewetting station 11. The entrance includes a pair of vertically oriented conduits 41 and 42 positioned along opposite edges of the entranceway. Each of the conduits 41 and 42 includes a plurality of spray nozzles 43 positioned along the inside portions to direct a spray of water toward the opposite conduit and form a water curtain 44 through which the fowl are carried by movement of the conveyor 10. The curtain 44 serves to enclose the prewetting station 11 and prevent the escape of heat and moisture therefrom.
Referring again to FIG. 1a, the hot water sprayed upon the fowl by the conduits2la-b and 220- and the curtain 44 is collected in the bottom portion of the stations and drained through a conduit 45 into a water collection reservoir 46. The collected water is preferably filtered to remove the debris collected therein and recirculated.
After passage through the prewetting station 11, the fowl are conveyed to the inlet side of a generally rect-. angular chamber 47 comprising the wetting station 12 wherein the fowl are subjected to treatment by the agitating and wetting system of the invention. The system,
referred to generally by the character 48, comprises a pair of hollow drums 50 mounted for rotation about their ends and which include a plurality of flexible finge'rs Sl-Sla which strike the bodies of the fowl as they Referring to FIG. 3, there is shown a cross-sectional view of the wetting station 12 illustrating the fowl agitating and wetting system of the invention. Each drum is hollow and rotatably mounted at one end for rotation about its longitudinal axis. As stated above, the other end is connected by a conduit 50a to a source of scalding hot water through a rotary connection 50b (FIG. la). The longitudinal axes of the drums 50 extend in a generally horizontal direction inclined slightly upwardly toward the second scalding and wetting station 13. Certain'ones of the fingersSl are formed of solid rubber while others, 51a, are hollow water dispensing fingers, as shown in FIG. 4. The number and arrangement of solid fingers and hollow water dispensing fingers is dependent upon the individual requirements of a particular system andrnay be changed as needed. Both the solid fingers 51 and the hollow water dispensing fingers 51a include transversely extending, spaced apart rib portions 52, best shown in FIGS. 4 and 6 which provide firm engagement when the fingers contact the feathers on the fowl.
As shown in FIGS. 4-6, the water dispensing fingers 51a include an elongate flexible portion'53 which is mounted through an aperture in the drum 50 by means of a pair of ridges 54 and 55 which define an annular groove 55a so that a virtually water-tight seal is formed therebetween. The fingers 51a also include a hollow portion 56 which extends'longitudinally from the end joined to the drum 50 to just short of the tip end of the flexible portion 53. A plurality of fluid dispensing apertures suchias slits 57 are formed in a transversely ex tending direction across certain ones of the ribs 52. The slits 57 extend through the surface of the flexible portion 53 and are joined with the hollow portion 56. When the water dispensing fingers 51a is unflexed, as shown in FIG. 4, the slits 57 are closed so that very little water escapes from the hollow portion 56 to the outside of the finger. However, when the finger 51a is bent, as shown in FIG. 5, the slits 57 are opened so that the water from within the drum 51 passes through the slits and impinges on the body of the fowl.
Referring to FIG. 7, a cross section view of one of the hollow fingers 51a is shown, illustrating the hollow portion 56, a rib 52 anda slit 57 therethrough. The finger 51a is stiffened by a plurality of longitudinally extending reinforcing members, such as fibers 59, which are embedded within a longitudinally extending rib 60.
As shown in FIG. 3, the drums are rotated, respectively, in the direction of theadjacent arrows 58 so thatfeathers. Both the hollow and solidflexible fingers pull the feathers away from the body of the fowl so that the scalding water reaches the skin where the feathers are attached and loosens them. The flexible fingers may, in addition, partially pluck the fowl as the fingers strike the body.
It is to be noted that not all of the fingers attached to the drums 50 are of the hollow water dispensing variety. Some of the fingers 51 are solid and serve to pull the feathers away from the body so that scalding water reaches the skin and further serve to partially pluck the fowl as they strike the body.
The fowl agitating and wetting drums of the invention result in improved wetting of a fowl passed therebetween, particularly 'in the area of the fowl carcass to which the feathers are attached.
Referring again to FIG. 3, the housing 47 surrounding the wetting station 12 includes a plurality of rectangular conduits 61 mounted between spaced wall portions 62 and 63. Each one of the conduits 61 has spaced therealong a plurality of nozzles 64 through which steam is injected into the wetting station to raise the temperature of the environment and further aid in loosening the feathers from the fowl. Each of the processing stations, including the wetting station 12, is to tending therefrom. As shown in FIG. 11, the drums 73' may be rotated in either direction so that the flexible fingers 74 strike the bodies of the fowl in a generally transverse direction. The housing 47 surrounding the wetting stations 13 is identical to that shown in FIG. 3,
with steam and scalding water nozzles extending through the walls. The flexible fingers 74 on the drums trolled operation of the damper 94 is described in detail in U. S. Pat. No. 3,561,040. The baffle plate 91 prevents the hottest temperature steam medium from being directly exhausted through the duct stack 93 and I has been found to substantially increase the temperature within the station 14 the like. i i Preferably, the majority of the structure of the system is formed of stainless steel metal. A plurality of support legs 95 securely supports the stations 12 and 13 at a and to eliminate hot spots and prescribed angle of inclination to the horizontal. The inclined configuration of the stations assists in maintaining the desired internal temperature, as well as enables the system to be maintained in a sanitary condition. An internal temperature in the range of about 140 F. to 175 F. is very effective fpr bacteria destruction and loosening of the feathers from the bodies of the fowl. The system readily controls the desired heating temperature of within several degrees fahrenheit 73 move the feathers about so that hot water reaches and thoroughly wets the skin of the fowl while at the same time pluckingsome of the feathers. As the fingers strike the fowl passing through the wetting station 13, the fowl are pressed against the guide bars 71 and 72 which prevent the fowl from being drawn into and between two of the drums 73.
The feathers which are removed from the fowl during wetting in both of the stations 12 and 13 are collected in the bottom of the housing and washed down the incline by the run-off scalding water. The feathers and other debris pass through an opening 124 in the bottom of the station 12 and an opening 13a in the bottom of the station 13. The feathers are collected in a disposal trough (not shown) from which they are periodically removed.
Referring to FIGS. hand 2, as the fowl move out from the second wetting station 13, they move into a turnabout station 14 wherein the conveyor is directed about a pair of rotating wetting wheels 81 and 82. The
wheels 81 and 82 incorporate fluid applicators 83 and 84 which include nozzles for directing a hot fluid stream to the difficult-to-wet straddle areas of the fowl. The wheels 81 and 82 and other apparatus not shown in detail maybe identical to the apparatus disclosed throughout essentially the entire length of the system. Thus, the fowl are subjected to a substantially constant and uniform predetermined temperature for the full U- shaped path of travel through the stations.
The temperature sensing and control system of the invention operates a motor, not shown, which controls the position of the damper 94. Upon sensing of an undesirable increase in the internal temperature within the station 14, the damper 94 is opened and ambient air enters through the openings 12a and 13a. The ambient air is drawn into the housing by convection and rapidly passes upwardly along the inclined chambersdue to the draft created by the opening of the damper 94. The ambient air then passes out of the duct stack 93. It will be understood that in some instances a fan may be inserted in the stack 93 to cause a forced draft of the ambient air therethrough. This ambient air flow is in the same direction as the travel of the fowl during one segment of the generally U-shaped path through the system and in an opposite direction during the other segment of the path through the system. Such passage of ambient air rapidly reduces the temperature within the stations to the desired level, that temperature condition being sensed by the system which then operates to and claimed in co-pending patent application entitled close the damper 94.
The upper inclination of the stations may vary between certain preferred limits so long as the angle chosen permits the rapid upward flow of ambient air as just described. Also, the inclination chosen is substantially less than vertical so that the housing will conserve floor space andyet will permit the system to be positioned in buildings having normal height ceilings. Inclination in the range of from approximately 10 to approximately 40 relative to the horizontal has been determined as necessary for meeting the stated needs and to permitthe apparatus to perform its desired objectives. An inclination falling within a narrower range of approximately 20 to 35 has been found preferable, with an inclination of approximately 20 being highly effective for insuring close temperature control while permitting the apparatus to conserve floor space and without creating any necessity to alter or raise the roof of'any conventional building in which the apparatus is installed. Further, such inclination produces the desired results without adjacent fowl contacting each other and without requiring any modification in the shackle spacing of the conventional overhead conveyor.
The inclination of the stations has further advantages as the vaporized medium, particularly steam, sprayed from the nozzles in the walls of the stations will pass upwardly along the sides of the housing toward the stack 93 due to the draft created therethrough. This draft keeps the medium moving and prevents formation .of hot spots in the housing, without requiring expensive circulation equipment for that purpose. Moreover, the,
inclination insures that feathers or other debris which is inadvertently carried into the housing with the fowl and which are removed from the fowl by the spray and contact of the water dispensing fingers with the bodies of the fowl will flow downwardly with the liquid toward the lower ends of the stations and out the openings.
When the fowl leave the turnabout station 14, they pass into another wetting station 15 which includes a pair of horizontally extending conduits 101 and 102. Both of the conduits include spray nozzles 103 staggered relative to one another to form inwardly curved sides. The contoured surfaces of the drums and the outermost ends of the fingers 117 define inwardly V directed sides which conform generally to the shape of a fowl.
V The defeathering drums are each rotatably mounted at opposite ends and connected to suitable driving sources such as electric motors (not shown). The
drums are rotated about their longitudinal axes to bring the-fingers 117 in contact with the body of a fowl 21b being transported through the region between the drums. The contoured sides of the defeathering drums,
' shown in FIG. 9, have been found to be particularly adapted to plucking of a fowl in that there is substantial contact between the body of the fowl and the many fingers 117, particularly in the head and tail area of the mounted along facing surfaces thereof. The conduits 101 and 102 are rotatably mounted and coupled through rotary connections 104 and 105 to a pressurized source of hot fluid, such as water. The fowl pass I by means of the conveyor 10 between the conduits 101 and 102. The conduits 101 and 102 are periodically oscillated through a preselected arc by means of a nutating motor and cam arrangement, not shown, which may be similar to that illustrated in FIG. 10. Preferably, the conduits 101 and 102 are oscillated so that when one is applying hot water to the upper portion of thefowl, the other conduit is applying water to the lower portion of the fowl. The pressurized scalding water is applied directly to the skin next to the feathers to further V loosen the feathers and prepare them for plucking. Referring to FIG. 2, after-passage from the wetting station 15, the fowl pass into the plucking station 16 fowl.
As shown in FIG. 10, a further embodiment ofa fowl defeathering drum comprises two generally cone shaped domes 121 and 122 rotatably mounted so that their axes are aligned. A plurality of plucking fingers 123 are fixed to extend perpendicularly from the surface of domes. Each one of the domes 121 and 122 are mounted for rotation about its axisJThe domes may be rotated either in synchronism with one another or at different rates or in directions to provide for maximum contactofthe fingers 123 with the feathers of the fowl.
The domes 121 and 122 together form a contoured region adjacent their sides which conforms generally to the shape ofa fowl. The useof separately rotatable domes enables the selection of more plucking finger contact on either the upper or'lower portions and the carcass of the fowl asneededf which includes four vertically oriented, contoured dealigned with the region between the opposite drums 112 and 113, and the drum 113 is aligned with the region between the opposite drums 1 10 and 111.
Referring now to FIG. 8, there is shown a top view of the plucking station 16 and the contoured defeathering drums 111-113. The two drums 110 and 111 are spaced from the two drums 112 and 113 andthe con- It will be seen that the fowl agitating and wetting system of the invention provides improved feather loosening-capabilities. The use of flexible, hollow Wetting tingers in the system of the invention produces thorough wetting of flow in the areas where the feathers are at- I tached to the carcass thereby enabling more efficient defeathering.
' Having described the invention in connection with certain specific embodiments thereof, it is to be understood that further modifications may now suggest themselves to those skilled in the art and it is intended tofcover such modifications as fall within the scope of the appended claims.
veyor system 10 is arranged to carry shacklesupported fowl through the path between the two sets of drums i A pair of restraining guide bars 115 and 116 extend be- V tween the two sets of drums to prevent a fowl being carried therethrough by the conveyor 10 from being drawn in between the drum and to hold the fowl in position during plucking.

Eastern Pkwy ReopensPosted June 21st, 2010 by Virginia Mattingly
Kentucky's Transportation Cabinet will embark upon a three-phase construction project to some of the main thoroughfares on the eastern and southern borders of Belknap Campus. Construction will begin in late August and is expected to be completed by the end of December. Enhancements to the area will include bike lanes, structurally enhanced bridges, increased safety, better signage, and a landscaped median.
The law school will be most impacted by Phase II that involves a major redesign of the portion of Eastern Parkway nearest Third Street. During that period, access along Eastern Parkway will be restricted. Visitors are encouraged to approach from either Third Street (west) or Cardinal Boulevard (north). Some of the spaces in the red, green, and blue parking lots will be temporarily relocated. TARC bus #29 will be rerouted at Crittenden Drive. The Black Loop will not be impacted.
Update, 6/21: Eastern Parkway between Third Street and the entrance to the Speed School of Engineering parking lot will be blocked off Tuesday morning, June 22, from about 10 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. for the dedication and opening of the renovated Eastern Parkway bridge. The lot is accessible via Brook and Warnock streets during the ceremony. Gov. Steve Beshear, U.S. Rep. John Yarmuth, Metro Louisville Mayor Jerry Abramson and other state and local officials will join UofL President James Ramsey for the ribbon-cutting ceremony. UofL Provost Shirley Willihnganz and student Preston Bates also will represent the university at the event. Eastern Parkway will be opened for traffic immediately following the ceremony. Old Eastern Parkway, which runs under the bridge, will remain closed until about July 1.

ACS is pleased to distribute "Disorderly (mis)Conduct: The Problem with 'Contempt of Cop' Arrests," an Issue Brief by Christy E. Lopez, a civil rights attorney with a practice focusing on police and criminal justice reform. Almost a year ago, the issue of "contempt of cop" arrests was thrust into the national news when Harvard University Professor Henry Louis Gates, Jr., was arrested by Cambridge Police Department Sergeant James Crowley. Sergeant Crowley was responding to a 911 caller who had reported a burglary in progress at Professor Gates's home, which is where the two encountered each other. As the events unfolded - Crowley's investigation of the burglary call and Gates's response to the Crowley's questions and actions - the situation escalated, and led to Sergeant Crowley arresting Professor Gates for disorderly conduct in the middle of the day just outside the front door to his house. The charges were later dropped, and after President Obama waded into the whole affair by saying that he thought the police acted "stupidly," the President later hosted a "beer summit" with both Gates and Crowley at the White House to help resolve the situation.
Ms. Lopez argues that "Sergeant Crowley's decision to arrest Professor Gates may or may not have been stupid. It may or may not have been consistent with Cambridge Police Department policy. But, if the facts are as Crowley asserted in his arrest report, the arrest was unlawful." She describes the law, and contends that, however loud, rude, or obnoxious Gates was, his behavior "falls squarely in the realm of speech protected by the First Amendment," and he should not have been arrested. Ms. Lopez continues that, "[d]espite its illegality, the arrest of Professor Gates was not unusual. This scenario - an individual being arrested after responding obstreperously to perceived police misconduct - is one that plays out routinely across the United States, albeit without the Ivy League backdrop or culminating in conflict-resolution-through-beer."
In this Issue Brief, Ms. Lopez asserts that there is "widespread misunderstanding of police authority to arrest individuals who passively or verbally defy them" and that there is "abundant evidence that police overuse disorderly conduct and similar statutes to arrest people who 'disrespect' them or express disagreement with their actions." She believes that "abusive arrests cause direct and significant harm to those arrested and, more generally, undermine the appropriate balance between police authority and individual prerogative to question the exercise of that authority." To fully explore this issue, Ms. Lopez discusses the relevant law governing these types of arrests, and several investigations of problems in police departments around the country. She then details her reasons for asserting that "the harm caused by improper arrests and threats of arrest for disorderly conduct far outweighs the justification given by some police and pundits for the aggressive (overly-aggressive, some would say) use of these statutes," and concludes by proposing "a roadmap for legislators, advocates, law enforcement officials, and others seeking to address this problem."

"Citizens United: The Aftermath" by Monica YounPosted June 8th, 2010 by Virginia Mattingly
Citizens United: The Aftermath
An Issue Brief by Monica Youn
ACS is pleased to distribute Citizens United: The Aftermath, an Issue Brief by Monica Youn, Counsel at the Brennan Center for Justice at New York University Law School. In this Issue Brief, Ms. Youn examines the political impact of the Supreme Court's January 21, 2010 decision in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission and outlines potential responses that, the author contends, "would buttress existing campaign finance safeguards from further attacks and mitigate some of the harmful effects of [the decision]." In Citizens United, the Court held that limitations on corporate funding of independent political broadcasts in candidate elections violate the First Amendment, striking down a significant portion of the Bipartisan Campaign Finance Reform Act. Ms. Youn contends that the 5-4 decision represents an undermining of precedent with potentially grave consequences:
By holding, for the first time, that corporations have the same First Amendment rights to engage in political spending as people, the Supreme Court re-ordered the priorities in our democracy -- placing special interest dollars at the center of our democracy, and displacing the rightful role of voters.
Ms. Youn proposes a variety of responses to the decision. In the short term, the author recommends a legislative response that includes enactment of stop-gap measures (such as shareholder consent and increased corporate disclosure requirements) and larger structural reforms (such as public financing and voter registration modernization). However, in the longer term, Ms. Youn recommends closer attention to the Judiciary and judicial nominations:
[I]n the long term, reclaiming the First Amendment for the voters will be the best weapon against those who seek to use the First Amendment for the good of the few, rather than for the many. Judges whose conception of the First Amendment takes account of the interests of voters can speed this process. As the nation seeks a successor to Justice Stevens, we hope that his successor advances a vision of a democratic, deliberative, and voter-centric First Amendment.

Stylist Jeannie Mai: 'Time Stopped' When Sofia Vergara Hit Red Carpet
This year's Screen Actors Guild Awards were the perfect opportunity to put Mai to work. The stylist dished on what stars should have taken home awards for their red carpet looks and how to incorporate a little glamour into an everyday ensemble.
"When Sofia Vergara hit the red carpet, time stopped," Mai said of the 'Modern Family' star's red carpet entrance in a vivacious sapphire blue Roberto Cavalli gown.
See what Jeannie Mai thought of the over-the-top fashion at this year's SAG Awards after the jump!
Vergara's look wasn't the only dress to write home about -- Mila Kunis stunned in a red floral print Alexander McQueen gown. "Ring the alarm, this fiery siren set the red carpet ablaze in this flowy showstopper," Mai said. "Someone had to hose me down after I saw her!"
Recently divorced Eva Longoria also scored points with Mai for her daring Georges Hobeika couture gown. "Eva spells divorce with 'diva.' Here she is striking, stunning and sensationally single," said the stylist.
'Modern Family' star Julie Bowen truly gave fashionistas something to talk about when she stepped onto the red carpet in a Catherine Malandrino jumpsuit and Brian Atwood shoes. Mai gives the fashion-forward actress props for being so daring, "Julie brought the modern from the family to her fashion with this pantsuit. Beautifully fashion-foward for the red carpet. Something refreshing that we don't often see."
A red carpet look is much more than a jaw-dropping dress. The perfect ensemble pays attention to the details. Hollywood's heavyweights put their best faces forward with sultry hair and makeup. "Every A-list Miss who knew how to make her mark certainly did it with undone hair. Sexy dresses reigned supreme for this 2011 SAG session. From Lea Michele to Sofia Vergara, the looser the waves, the sexier the siren," said Mai.
While celebrities may have teams of stylists fussing over every strand of hair, a red carpet attitude is what everyday women can take away from Mai's best dressed list. Take it from the stylist: "Looking good is all about feeling good. Stand tall ... smile ... and have fun, no matter where you are. You'll feel better and your confidence will shine through!"

While I love Mila's dress, it makes her look wider than she is. And I do love Eva and Bowen, but did anyone else notice the tops were nearly identical? I definitely think Sofia was the best dressed.

I am really sick of seeing boobs hanging out and skirts so short you can see their tonsils. There is nothing pretty or feminine about this look. One boob looks like any other; we know you all have them, that the chances are pretty good that they are fake, so cover them up!
- Monday 31 JanuaryBy member1070
I agree with you. Watching someone constantly grabbing at their hem to try to cover their butt is tiresome.

So can I translate this article to mean the rest of the awards were boring ?

When Danica Patrick met the Obamas…
Apr 1, 2013, 3:30 PM EST
When Danica Patrick met the Obamas, a picture of her trip to the White House was tweeted.
It's odd timing perhaps given today's date of April 1, and the litany of joke releases that populate the Internet as a result, but Patrick did offer photographic proof of her on the White House lawn for the Easter Egg roll in Washington, D.C. on her Twitter page.
"Just met the whole Obama family including their dog Bo!" Patrick tweeted early Monday.
NASCAR, like all major series, had off this past weekend for Easter. So in lieu of a simple break and staying out of the spotlight, it appears Patrick took the opportunity to visit the nation's most iconic house.
Since her rapid start to the year with pole position and an eighth place finish in the Daytona 500, Patrick's results have cooled off. In the last four races, her best qualifying effort has been only 37th with a best finish of 26th, last race at Auto Club Speedway.
Sponsor GoDaddy entered victory lane in IndyCar a little more than a week ago with James Hinchcliffe of Andretti Autosport on the streets of St. Petersburg.

I'm not at all surprised. She never had what it takes to match the hype. In regards to qualifying in particular, she always liked it in the rear in IndyCar.
- nomoreseasontix - Apr 2, 2013 at 11:36 AM
Sure is a smokin hot little thing, though.
- techmeister1 - Apr 3, 2013 at 1:37 AM
Patrick is another good race car driver but a she is also a rookie to NASCAR. She is racing against the best NASCAR drivers in the world, many with decades of experience in this form of auto racing. Qualifying on the pole at Daytona two years in a row – as a rookie – and leading laps and finishing 8th in Cup at Daytona tells you this woman can drive and isn't afraid to let it all hang out.
Her lack of experience on the shorter tracks is going to hurt her for years. It's not a lack of ability, its a lack of experience. We see with Montoya, Gordon, Stewart, Speed and even with Hornish that even the best of the best do not do well in NASCAR all the time.
As far as the hype that is the media not Patrick. because she is an attractive woman achieving success in a sport perceived as a "man's sport', she gets a lot of media coverage. She in fact is a fan favorite no matter what series she races in and she's good for the sport. Those who have raced against her and worked with her say she is very competent and has the potential to run up front more often when she gets some real experience. Hating on the girl for being hot, popular and capable is ignorant. She isn't writing the hype so blame those who are if it bothers you.
BTW, to illustrate what A-Holes the TMZ crew is, they filmed Patrick trying to do a little sight seeing in DC over Easter and they had the audacity to ask here if it's more difficult for a woman race car driver "when she has go to the bathroom" than a male driver. What a bunch of worthless scumbags.
- drylake - Apr 4, 2013 at 8:57 PM
All racers wear Depends, right? So nobody's worried about pee breaks during a race. Got a laugh at Tagliani during the St. Pete grid run by Robin Miller. "Been a while since I had to use the Porta Potty at the rear of the field." Meaning he needed to qualify better.

Topic: Pests
Title: Use of saltwater to kill weeds in gravel in Hamilton Co. TX
Answered by: Barbara Medford
QUESTION:I want to get rid of weeds and grasses in our gravel driveway and parking areas. Which would be less harmful to the adjacent native plants and trees: saltwater or herbicide?
From what we have been able to find, both could be equally damaging to surrounding plants, including to the roots of plants that may be under your gravel driveway.This article from Garden Guide.com Salt Water as a Weed Killer lays out the facts better than we could. Of course, our usual recommendation, which is the lowest risk to the environment, is to pull the darn things out. This may be pretty daunting at first, depending on the size of the area you have to deal with, but many weeds are annuals. If you start when they first start to peek out in the Spring, and stay with it, they will at least be diminished. The main thing to do is not to allow any weed to go to seed. If you can't pull a weed out right away, at least cut the blooms off before they go to seed. There will be seeds from other places that will be blown in or delivered by birds, so you will never be without weeds.

Green energy boss Dale Vince accuses Government of risking energy security by cutting subsidies and changing agenda
Tom Bawden
Tom Bawden is Energy and Resources Correspondent for The Independent and Evening Standard.
Sunday 12 May 2013
The founder of Britain's first green electricity provider has accused the Coalition of risking the UK's future energy security through a "disastrous" inconsistency in policies. Ecotricity boss Dale Vince accused the Government of hugely undermining confidence among potential investors, who are desperately needed to finance an essential overhaul of the UK's energy infrastructure at a cost of around about £200bn over the next decade.
"Confidence has been badly damaged by the way the Government keeps moving the goal posts on subsidies for renewable energy," Mr Vince told The Independent. "The Government has not just turned its back on renewable energy, it feels like they're actively trying to obstruct it. This will be disastrous for energy security."
Laying claim to having built Britain's first solar-power park in Lincolnshire, he said he has received planning permission to build two more solar parks that would have produced enough electricity to power 10,000 homes. But he argued that he has had to put the plans on hold after the Government reduced the level of subsidies.
Mr Vince added it was now much harder to borrow money to finance new projects because "the Government keeps changing its agenda and impeding growth in renewable energy".
The former new age traveller turned multi-millionaire energy boss made his comments in the wake of his divorce victory last week. The Appeal Court dismissed his former wife's attempt to claim a £2m share of his fortune, on the basis it was made years after she divorced him in 1992.
Now turning his attention back to industry matters, Mr Vince also cast doubt on whether Britain's shale gas industry would herald an era of cheap, secure energy. Shale gas is produced by the controversial practice of fracking, the technique which has generated widespread opposition from environmentalists and some communities near potential reserves over reported links to earthquakes and water pollution.
After a temporary ban, the Government has ruled Britain's fledgling shale gas industry should resume under close supervision, with George Osborne and David Cameron both enthusiastic backers. He said: "There is still huge uncertainty around how much shale gas there is and how much can be extracted. But it's clear it's been hyped beyond anything reasonable by the Government and the industry."
When asked about the much-publicised friction between the gas-focussed Treasury and the relatively green Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC), he added: "You've got to wonder about George Osborne. Ed Davey is doing a good job under difficult circumstances."
Ecotricity has about 71,000 customers and is Britain's largest green energy provider after the Co-Op. His comments follow last week's accusation by Tim Yeo, chair of the Energy and Climate Change Select Committee, that there was evidence of a "broad-based hiatus in energy investment, which is worrying given where we need to be in three years' time with new capacity being brought online".
A DECC spokesman said: "It's right we review subsidies to ensure the best bang for the consumers' buck, but the Government has given notice, consulted and put in place transitional arrangements as we move to our market reforms. We've also secured a trebling in support for low carbon by 2020."
