Iran's Use of Deep Packet Inspection Spurs New Call Against 'Virtual Wiretap'
by Wendy Davis on Jun 29, 4:15 PM
The current events in Iran have spurred digital rights advocates to renew calls for Congress to investigate deep packet inspection technology. This morning, groups including the Open Internet Coalition, Free Press, Public Knowledge and the ACLU wrote to Congress to ask for hearings about how U.S. companies are using deep packet inspection, or "virtual wiretap" technology.

Federal Judge Wants To Copyright News
by Wendy Davis on Jun 26, 3:45 PM
Yesterday at 5:20 p.m., the Web site TMZ.com reported that pop star Michael Jackson had died. TMZ's scoop was soon picked up by every major media outlet -- online and otherwise -- in the country. But some industry watchers are floating a proposal to revise copyright law in a way that could prevent this type of news distribution in the future.

AP Turns Employees Into Facebook Police
by Wendy Davis on Jun 25, 4:45 PM
The Associated Press' new social networking policy shows, once again, that the news organization hasn't yet grasped the workings of digital media. The company's new rules, obtained by Wired, instruct staff to avoid expressing "political views" or taking "stands on contentious issues." But the AP goes beyond just telling employees to keep quiet. The organization also proposes that employees should censor their friends. "It's a good idea to monitor your profile page to make sure material posted by others doesn't violate AP standards; any such material should be deleted," states the policy.

City Drops Quest For Job Seekers' Passwords

City To Job Seekers: What's Your Facebook Password?
by Wendy Davis on Jun 19, 4:00 PM
The problem here goes far beyond the privacy rights of job applicants. That's because if the government has access to people's messages, it's also getting information about people's friends -- information that those friends had no reason to think would be shared with Bozeman human resources officials.

Hearing: Congress Nervous About Privacy, But Iffy On BT Laws
by Wendy Davis on Jun 18, 5:31 PM
Seems like some lawmakers aren't big fans of behavioral targeting techniques these days. At a Congressional hearing this morning about privacy, Rep. Joe Barton (R-Texas) said he "hits the delete button" every few days to erase cookies. "The information about myself is mine," he said. "Unless I choose to share it, I would just as soon it stay as my information only."

Paper Quilt
I've taken some new photos of my Quilt in action. It's made completely from paper - specifically the pages of Vs. Magazine. I soak them in water first and then let them dry to give them a worn and distressed look.
This is not intended for and is very delicate. The paper has intentional tears as rips all over it.

WOW! I wasn't prepared driving in my Model S Sig today to get a negative taunt thrown at me... I was showing some friends of mine at their office in a heavily walked area. Some guy comes up and says "Oh, so that's what my tax money is paying for." Now, I'm not normally political, but I went off... For those just receiving your car, have some nice witty retorts just in case you get something like that... I have a few good ones now that I am prepared. Of course, that's been the 1 bad out of 100 good who keep stopping and looking or wanting to see it (and I've only had it on the street for less than an hour)...
It really just depends on what your driving patterns are. Some people literally never leave a 50 mile radius in their car. Practical is a very, very subjective assessment.
I think there are a good range of responses on this thread. I like the penny toss idea, but I really prefer to think of the tax credit another way:
First, you probably pay more taxes than this guy does, so you are providing more overall benefit to the 'greater good' than he is. Next, you only get to keep the $7500 if you are already paying it. So if you pay $30k in taxes, the government is saying, "we'll take the money you owe, but if you want, you can keep $7500 OF THE MONEY YOU ARE ALREADY PAYING US and do something in both of our interests, which is to reduce our reliance on foreign oil." That can be buying a Volt, or a Leaf, or yes, a Tesla Model S. In many ways, though, the Model S is a more important vehicle for getting us off oil because it is really the first EV that--price notwithstanding--the public sees as a practical daily driver. It has enough range, power, and space to meet most needs in a package that people want. Or aspire to.
Proving out the Model S gets us to Model X and GenIII, which helps meet more use cases at (ultimately) a lower price point.
Last, this guy is a grade A jerk, and while you could go on and on about many of these topics, as many of said here, life is too short to try and fix every one of them. Enjoy the car--there are many of us here in Texas that are in the same boat you are, and I've gotten way more positive feedback than negative so far. I'm sure your positive experiences will be the norm.
In case this wasn't mentioned, it costs oil producers $2.00 to make a BARREL of oil. I'd rather support us government backed startup.
60 minutes:
And back on the topic of the thread, another legit response would be, "What aren't your tax dollars paying for nowadays?"
@larmorfreq: it costs oil producers $2.00 to make a BARREL of oil
Keep in mind that gasoline is derived from oil, so you get considerably less than a barrel of gasoline from a barrel of oil. Also keep in mind that you have refine the oil, put in additives and transport the stuff all over God's good earth. That takes pipelines, refineries, supertankers, storage tanks, trucks, lots of skilled and unskilled labor, etc. That stuff all costs money, which is why it's not $2 for a barrel of gas, if that's what you were implying it should be.
Oh, and don't forget all the taxes and costs imposed by regulatory requirements.
would it be too much to ask to post a really good photo from the bar in the sunroof from the back seat?
"Oh, so that's what my tax money is paying for."
Sadly, the way things are, I think you could look at anything or anyone and say that.
@BestbrokerinDallas: Tonight I went to my local TexMex for a quick bite and luckily found a place right near the door. I started to get out and a guy came up very excited about the car. We ended up talking for 30 minutes, he sat in the car (he was a real car guy, and his buddy is on the board of Fisker), and then offered to buy me a margarita while his group arrived. Long story short, they bought me dinner (I tried to pay) and they were very nice folks. As we sat there, people came in and quite a few took photos of the car. More positivity!
My comeback is (and will always be) the bumper sticker I had designed for the back of VIN 76: OPERATION OF THIS VEHICLE DOES NOT FUND INTERNATIONAL TERRORISM. Ask Mr. Tax Money if he can say the same of his car.
@Michael S;
But do keep in mind: only 45% of oil is now import (and dropping), and about 1/4 of that comes from the Gulf. Canada sends about as much as all those countries put together.
By purchasing a Model S, you're actually helping the company be successful - so they can repay the federal loan...
Michael S. You may wish to rethink your bumper sticker. I will defend your freedom of speech and your message, however, I question your wisdom. First, the 'S' is rolling art, a bumper sticker will not improve the aesthetics. Second, why paint a bullseye on your 'S' for the idiots to focus on?
Less is more. Knowing you are in the right, is reward enough.
Agreed. It's for that reason I don't even put bumper stickers even on my current crappy car. I wouldn't dream of spoiling a Model S with one - kind of like hanging a T-shirt on the Venus de Milo.
Ah, Texas. I'd be tempted to tell the jerk, "I see you chose to drink the Kool-Aid, too." But I would probably leave it at, "At least I pay enough in taxes to get some of my money back on the rebate. Meanwhile, in buying this car I'm helping Tesla pay back their DOE loan to reduce your tax burden, to create thousands of well-paid American jobs, and to reduce our dependence on foreign oil. Which of those things don't you like?"
Amazingly, here in CO my Sig Red S has yet to draw a comment of any kind, positive or negative. Seen some turned heads, though.
mrspaghet... Thanks, however, I may reconsider and put one of those smiling faces… No wait, that's me with the smiling face. Never mind.
I have owned and driven many exotic cars. You get one of two types of comments. The first are from people who appreciate cars and are happy that you spend the time to talk with or educate them while the second type are like the person you encountered.
The arguments vary but in many cases the underlying issue is that the perception is that you are part of the 1% and they are not. You are not going to win that debate and a flippant comment just confirms the opinion.
I ignore the comments and move on, I have more important things to worry about at any given time.
@Michael S
In addition to the othe rcomments people made about your potential bumper I also think it's a bad idea because I find it to be very insensitive. I understand that you may not have been thinking this way, but the option to buy a Model S or even a Volt or a Leaf is not even close to possible for most of the people who will see your bumper sticker. Even if your statement was true, what are the people who see your bumper sticker supposed to take away from that? "Oh I should save up six figures and buy a car with it to make the world a better place!" ?
No, most likely, if they're just going to resent you for trying to suggest that you're a better person than they are because you have the money to buy a Model S, regardless of whether you're "the 1%" or if you're a public school teacher who saved money for 10 years to get a Model S, it doesn't matter. That kind of bumper sticker may sound cute to some people, but to others, it will make you look like a jerk, and, if you worry about nothing else, at least worry about the fact that fairly or unfairly, it might make you or your car a target.
I would say..."I can pay for yours if you get one."
@Michael S
Saying that "Buying oil from the Middle East funds terrorism" is akin to saying "Watching a Hollywood funds pedophiles in the US Catholic church".
~ Prash.
Sign me up!!!!
@Prash, it's a lot more complicated then that. Although you can say that not all Middle Eastern Countries or their leadership does not support terrorist or extremist activity. The fact remains that we are flooding money into a region that would have otherwise been a huge dust bowl and nothing more if it wasn't for oil. We don't send our troops to many other countries to stop the inhumanity that occurs there. I am not saying we go to the oil rich countries to fight solely for the oil. What I am saying as that it a pretty big coincidence. History proves countries will go to war for things far less important then natural resources. My parents were actually born in the region and there are really good people there, like anywhere! But there are also really bad, misguided, ignorant and heavy influenced people as well that can do a lot of damage given the funds needed to do so. They already have the motivation and with stupid videos put out on YouTube, they build even more of an extremist following everyday. Propaganda has always been a great manipulator disguised as a motivator.
@BYT, while I agree with some of your reasoning, I feel that it applies to pretty much every country. Of course, except Antarctica.
~ Prash.
"Well yes, and I hope you enjoyed it when President Obama opened up the strategic oil reserve"
Ask for compassion: "I'm neither in the 1 percent or the middle class, or the 47 percent. I'm in the 5 percent, so I guess neither political party is looking out for me. I need tax savings wherever I can find it."
"talk to the hand - looser"
If someone is that uninformed - or that addicted to FOX news.
"talk to the hand - looser"
Actually, it's "loser". Don't spell like one.
I have my top 10 list of responses ready
10) I gave my tax credit to the food bank, got a problem with that?
9) believe me, I put more money in this car than you did
8) what do you drive....(pause for response)...oh, I'm sorry.
7) what do you drive.... (Jerk says GM or Chrysler product)... Hey, you should be thanking me!
6) the sales tax is higher than the tax credit
5) you pay taxes? Dude, you need to hire a better accountant!
4) it's a corporate lease so I have to thank BP and the people of the Gulf Coast
3) I'm Canadian
2) oh it's not mine, this is Ron Regan's car
1) if you work hard, someday this technology will trickle down to you too
Anyone have good responses that won't get me keyed? Thx! I live in sf where I've seen someone burn a car with a cig because the owner corrected them on the make.
There is really no way to protect yourself against envy. Anyone who would damage a car out of spite will do that whether they talk to you or not.
I've been thinking about this thread and think hostile reactions to the Mod S are a "teachable moment". The oligarchs have trained us to see each other as the enemy. When someone gives a dig about the tax credit or DOE loan, if we have the time, we can gently say something like "I'd like to hear more of your ideas about Tesla". Engage them and listen. They probably don't know what they are talking about and have just been programed to deliver a hostile one-liner. Discuss the relative merits of government subsidies. Remind them that the DOE loan is a LOAN! Mention that Tesla is an American company show them the car. etc. Be gentle and respectful, otherwise we are just playing into the oligarchs' hand.

|that until I can get more organized, that I will count calories and try not to exceed 1200 a day.
I have several things woking against me. One is that I have polymyalgia and even though exercise is good, I am limited to the amount and the intensity, because of total exhaustion. Also am on blood thinners because of atrial fibrilation and am extra sensitive to green veggies, salads, bananas, etc. Right now, my blood thinner has had to be increased as I very modestly tried a few of these things, being very careful that it was only a very limited quantity per day.
I started off at 160 pounds which was too much in 2007. Shortly after starting prednisone, I jumped to 192. As the prednisone lowered, I managed to lose 12 pounds but had a couple of flare ups, so it has been partially increased and the dosage will stay that way until June 2010 unless another flare up. I now weigh 187. I'm sure that isn't all due to prednisone but partly my sweet tooth. My goal would be 145. I would like to be able to do this by June 25th 2010
How do I go about participating in the weigh-ins. From past experience, I feel that is what will help keep me motivated.

|Ivamae, there's nothing to it. You're in. I'll record this as your weigh-in for this week when I start next week's thread.
Sorry about your health problems.

|Iva, how tall are you? What is your BMI? You need to make sure 1200 isn't going to throw your body into shock... do you have a calorie counter online? That was really helpful for me. See you in the weigh-in thread!!!
|I calculated my BMI this morning and when I measured myself I was shocked. I used to be 5'7.25" I have degenerated discs and knew I was shorter but didn't realize how much. I measured 5'5.25 " My BMI worked out to30.9. That is disgusting.
You asked about the calories. How many calories do you think I should be eating? I'm finding 1200 gives me lots of food so that I'm not hungry. It just means that I have cut back a great deal on sweets. I am eating more green veggies as I get my INR tested in a couple of days to see how the larger dose of thinners is working. I do want to be able to eat more lettuce, tomatoes, green beans, bananas etc. I'm very sensitive to some meds and don't react to them the way the Dr.s expect many times.
We'll see what happens when I weigh myself to-morrow and also see what happens when my INR is tested. Won't know the results of that before next week.
Thanks for your posting

At your height and weight, you are probably eating around 1800 calories to maintain the same weight. That's if you are not getting much exercise. If you want to lose say a pound a week on average, you have to eat 500 calories less per day than that. That works out to about 1300, so I think you are in the right ballpark with a 1200 calorie diet. You might try it a couple of weeks and see how much you lose, then adjust it accordingly.

MAKE A SWEET START | Polenta taragna, a northern Italian specialty made with cornmeal and buckwheat, becomes a treat with a drizzle of maple syrup or molasses. OR SKEW SAVORY | Garnishes of peanuts, chives and fiery chili-sesame oil dress up a simple, soothing rice porridge infused with warming ginger. James Ransom for The Wall Street Journal, Food Styling by Jamie Kimm, Prop Styling by Daniel Murphy
DESPITE ITS appearance in countless storybooks (Three Bears, I'm looking at you), a bowl of porridge isn't exactly the stuff of most youthful fantasies. It certainly wasn't my breakfast of choice as a kid. I craved Lucky Charms and Fruity Pebbles, not Cream of Wheat or oatmeal with their whiff of dowdy virtuousness. On chilly mornings when my mother served such stuff, I greeted it the same way I did the itchy wool sweater I pulled on over my school uniform: as something to be endured, not enjoyed.
But all that has changed and, along with a toasty pair of socks and a mug of tea, a steaming bowl of cereal is my new favorite way to ease into a dark winter's morning. Maybe my conversion is a natural consequence of age. A proper porridge's subtle flavor and long simmering on the stove do seem to demand an adult's restraint and patience. Or maybe I'd just never had a really good rendition. Rolled oats are the porridge base most Americans encounter, but there is a wide world of tasty grains out there—from amaranth to quinoa—that benefit greatly from a bath of water or milk and prolonged, gentle cooking.
My palate is partial to cornmeal, which yields a soothing, sunny porridge with a faint sweetness. Whether you call it grits or polenta or plain old mush, it's perfectly delicious plain and even more irresistible when shot through with nutty kernels of toasted buckwheat—a hearty preparation known as polenta taragna in the Lombardy region of northern Italy.
" A steaming bowl of cereal is my new favorite way to ease into a dark winter's morning. "
Beyond that, a pat of butter and a sprinkle of coarse brown sugar lend some creaminess and crunch. Or, if you're feeling a bit more indulgent, you can take my lead and nod to Indian pudding—a Yankee cornmeal dessert I spooned up eagerly whenever it was placed before me as a child—with a generous glug of molasses or dark maple syrup.
Still, there are mornings when my sweet tooth sleeps in and I want something closer to the salty end of the spectrum. To my mind, the savory breakfast cereal of champions is congee, a silky, soupy rice porridge that is thought to have originated in China during the Zhou dynasty and remains a morning staple throughout East Asia. In its most elemental form, congee is nothing more than rice simmered in stock or water until the grains disintegrate. It's the garnishes that let a cook get creative.
In China, laba zhou—a rich rice porridge of assorted grains, red beans, nuts and dried fruits—is traditionally eaten in early-to-mid-January, to kick off the celebration of the Lunar New Year. But even simple additions, like chopped scallions or a dash of fish sauce, can make a congee sing.
In deep midwinter, when roast chicken is my Sunday-supper constant, I often simmer a stock from the leftover bones. Monday morning, into my biggest pot that goes, along with a cup of rice, a flurry of salt and a knob of fresh ginger. An hour later, the kitchen is fragrant and cozy, and my stomach is rumbling. Finished with fiery chili-sesame oil and a spoonful of crushed peanuts, the result is a grown-up porridge that never fails to make my inner Oliver Twist beg for more.
Cornmeal and Buckwheat Porridge
Total Time: 1 hour Serves: 6
⅓ cup kasha
8 cups water
1⅓ cups polenta (not instant)
Pinch of salt
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
Grade B maple syrup and/or dark molasses (optional)
1. Grind kasha: Add kasha to a blender or food processor and pulse briefly until grains are coarsely broken up. Set aside.
2. Bring water to boil over medium-high heat in a medium-large saucepan. Stir in polenta, kasha and salt. Reduce heat to low. Simmer, stirring often, until grains are tender and consistency is thick but not dry or stiff, about 40 minutes. (Add more water to the pan as needed.)
3. To serve, ladle porridge into bowls while hot. Top each portion with a pat of butter and a generous drizzle of maple syrup and/or molasses, if using.
Ginger Chicken Congee
Total Time: 1¼ hours Serves: 6
4 cups chicken stock
6 cups water
1 2-inch piece ginger, peeled and minced
1 cup long grain white rice, such as jasmine
1½ teaspoons salt, plus more to taste
Freshly ground black pepper
Chopped chives, for garnish
Crushed peanuts, for garnish
Chili-sesame oil, for garnish
1. In a medium-large saucepan, combine stock, water, ginger, rice and 1½ teaspoons salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then stir and reduce heat to low. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until rice has broken down and congee has consistency of a thin oatmeal, about 1 hour. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
2. Ladle congee into bowls. Garnish each portion with chives, peanuts and a drizzle of oil.

When you hear the term "Detroit food economy," it doesn't refer to Detroit's great economy of self-sufficient, homesteading urban farmers who defy government edicts and turn vacant land to productive use, nor does it refer to North America's oldest and largest anarcho-farmer's market that puts the industrial food system to shame. "Detroit food economy" is actually braggadocio terminology for the giganta-welfare model that proudly gives away 100,000 free meals a day to children of negligent, self-serving parents.
I listened to this rubbish on NPR today, where the Executive Director, Office of Food Services for Detroit Public Schools (yes, they have such a title) talked about her program that made her a local hero for managing to make it a sweeping entitlement for almost all Detroit children to get free breakfast, lunch, and dinner, thanks to bilking the taxpayers to fund this entitlement swamp. The same old bilge is trotted out to try and sell the warm-and-fuzzies to the peabrain halfwitted masses:
So to see the food program for the kids is a great blessing. You may have some kids this may be their only meal.
Only meal? But wait … it doesn't end there … Detroit has also managed to plunge this city into further bankruptcy by also providing these kids with two meals/day all summer long via the summer food service program. The NPR show I listened to today also discussed why these programs should be expanded to include the parents … (yes, parents) in the free breakfast-lunch-dinner welfare-o-rama. The parents are hungry and they have to eat, too.
These are the same parents and/or kids that I see at the bus stops or restaurants, or elsewhere in the city, with smartphones (hint: pricey data plans), big-ticket baggy jeans adorned with leather or embroidered patterns, very expensive leather coats with the same adornments, $200+ hair jobs (including hair extensions or wigs), $60+ nail salon workups (gel or acrylic, with airbrushed nail color), Cadillac Escalades and $30k+ Dodge Chargers, and an assortment of other VIN (Very Important Needs) adorning their bodies and cars. Imagine what you could afford in terms of ostentatious indulgences if you could pass off $400+/month in food bills to the redistribution state and its hoodwinked captives?5:21 pm on February 26, 2013 Email Karen De Coster

Dr. Perri Klass, renowned author and pediatrician, was the invited speaker at the second annual Medical Student Humanism and Bioethics Symposium, held on December 6, 2012. The symposium is hosted by the office of bioethics education, to promote humanism and a high standard of ethics in medicine.
During a spirited and inspiring talk, "Hearing Secrets, Telling Stories," Dr. Klass, who is professor of journalism and of pediatrics at New York University, shared anecdotes and reflected on her personal experiences both as a clinician and as a writer. Emphasizing that the two are intricately intertwined, she noted, "What drives you in medicine, drives you in writing."
She explained that her love for writing and interests in biology and medicine began to converge while she was a medical student at Harvard in the 1980s. Since then, she has drawn material for her stories from experiences inside and outside of the clinic.
Her writing spans a variety of forms, including novels, essays, short stories, and journalistic pieces, through which she offers insights into family life, raising children, life as a physician and the value of literacy.
Dr. Klass has won numerous awards for her work as a pediatrician and as a writer. She also serves as president and medical director of Reach Out and Read, a national nonprofit that promotes early literacy through doctors and nurses who provide primary care to young children.
In closing, she told students, "Studying medicine really does make writers of us all."

I just came across this article on The New Yorker website about the largest leveraged buyout in history – The purchase of TXU Corp in 2007. The price? 44 billion (with a 'b') dollars.
I remember when this deal happened, and I remember reading a number of articles at the time about the buyout. The narrative I remember was quite a bit different than the one in this New Yorker article. Here's the quote in The New Yorker article that really jumped out at me:
Goldman Sachs, KKR & Co., TPG Capital, Lehman Brothers, and others paid more than eight billion dollars in cash, and incurred another thirty-six billion dollars in debt, to purchase TXU Corp., an electric-utility company that provided power to a quarter of Texas residents. They renamed the company Energy Future Holdings. Much like the home buyers who believed, in 2007, that house prices would continue to rise indefinitely, the private-equity firms assumed that the price of electricity, Energy Future's main product, would keep increasing.
Here's the truth. It didn't much matter if the price of electricity kept increasing. Up, down, sideways, the price of electricity just wasn't very important to those who invested in this deal. Sure, it would have been better if the price of electricity did continue to rise, but even if the price of electricity fell to zero, yes zero, the companies that put this deal together (Goldman Saches, KKR &Co, Lehman, etc) could still make money, and lots of it.
So how does one make money off of an investment in company that goes bankrupt?
The answer is "special dividends".
What happens in leveraged buyouts is the companies that put together the deal want to turn a profit as soon as possible (which is understandable). They have a couple different paths to do this. But two of them are:
- Sell off parts of the business, and then take the cash and issue themselves a "special dividend". Special dividends are just like dividends with stocks, they're cash payments.
- Issue a bunch of debt on the company's balance sheet (the company that was bought), and then take that cash and pay themselves a large special dividend. Nice work if you can get it.
So I'm sure Goldman Sachs, KKR, Lehman, etc, would have liked it if electricity prices held steady or increased, but this was not imperative to the deal being a success for them. The $8 billion in cash they put together in the deal could be recouped with asset sales and additional debt put on TXU Corp's books, and then issued out to themselves as special dividends.
The business model was pretty simple back in '06-07, just find someone who would lend you a bunch of money (super easy to do back then), and then buy a company. Start selling that company's assets, and issue as much debt as you can on their books. Take these proceeds and pay yourself back in special dividends. This is a low-risk, high-reward strategy, and you'd be a fool to pass it up. But it's not very good for the company that was bought.
On a side-note, Warren Buffett actually bought debt from this deal. He ended up losing $837 million dollars on this investment. I can't believe he would have thought this was a good investment. TXU Corp was loaded with debt from this deal, $36 billion dollars to be precise (plus whatever else was added after the buyout completed). So Warren, I'm scratching my head here…

Saul Nuno Pleads Guilty in U.S. Federal Cour
Bill Mercer, United States Attorney for the District of Montana, announced today that during a federal court session in Billings on January 27, 2009, before Chief U.S. District Judge Richard F. Cebull, SAUL NUNO, a 31-year-old resident of Billings, pled guilty to conspiracy to possess with the intent to distribute marijuana and possession with the intent to distribute marijuana. Sentencing is set for April 29, 2009. He is currently detained.
In an Offer of Proof filed by the United States, the government stated it would have proved at trial the following:
Through a confidential source (CS#1), agents learned that during the years 2003 and 2004, a source of supply (SOS#1) was transporting multi-hundred pound quantities of marijuana from California to Montana, to be delivered to NUNO and others. The SOS#1 was receiving drugs from Mexico that were smuggled through the port of entry in Tijuana. The marijuana was concealed in the undercarriage/gas tanks of vehicles, and the gas tanks were removed to withdraw the marijuana. The organization used SUV type vehicles, but also used a Toyota Camry with an electronic hidden compartment. During the period of the conspiracy, SOS#1 transported in excess of 1,300 pounds of marijuana to Billings. NUNO and another individual were two of the main recipients and distributors of these loads.
Numerous drivers were used to transport the drugs from California to Billings. The drivers stayed at local hotels in the Billings area. The SOS or the CS would go and pick up the driver(s), provide them with a car, and take the loaded vehicle and have it unloaded. The SOS used several different locations to unload the drugs. The drivers were paid $3,000 for transporting the drugs.
On occasion, the SOS brought the marijuana to the CS's house where they weighed it and broke it down into one pound packages. They hid the marijuana in the rafters of the garage, a hidden trap in the kitchen area, and also in the ceiling of the basement.
In November 2002, NUNO and another individual were at a residence in Billings removing a gas tank that contained marijuana from a vehicle, when the vehicle caught on fire. NUNO was able to remove the marijuana and hide it, but the Yellowstone County Sheriff Office (YCSO) and fire department responded. The load of marijuana, approximately 200 pounds, had been provided by SOS#1. NUNO was storing the marijuana at his house and a subsequent check with the YCSO revealed they reported the fire as a vehicle fire/structure fire of an accidental nature.
CS#1 was present on two occasions when two individuals and SOS#1 assisted with removal of the marijuana from a vehicle. The first time, in May 2004, SOS#1 made arrangements to store drugs at one of the individual's house, and the individual assisted with weighing and repackaging the marijuana. The second load arrived approximately three months later. Each of the loads consisted of approximately 200 pounds of marijuana. CS#1 would go and pick up the marijuana from the individual's house and deliver it to customers.
During the conspiracy, NUNO started buying marijuana from this individual, who was also getting marijuana from SOS#1.
In mid-2004, CS#1 and another individual drove to Las Vegas and picked up SOS#1 and approximately 100-200 pounds of marijuana. SOS#1 drove back in the loaded vehicle with the individual.
During this same time frame, SOS#1 transported approximately 5 kilograms of methamphetamine and drug proceeds to Billings. SOS#1 told CS#1 he was selling the methamphetamine to make up for the money and marijuana lost during a robbery at his residence in Billings in May 2004.
Agents learned that NUNO, the manager of a restaurant in Billings, had marijuana for sale, and SOS#1 had methamphetamine for sale.
On January 21, 2004, CS#2 stated he was in contact with NUNO on January 20, 2004, and learned NUNO had pound quantities of marijuana for sale at $800 per pound. NUNO told CS#2 he would bring the marijuana to the restaurant and CS#2 could pick up the marijuana. On January 21, 2004, at approximately 11:00 a.m., CS#2 placed a recorded telephone call to NUNO in an attempt to arrange the purchase of marijuana from NUNO.
On January 22, 2004, CS#2 placed a recorded telephone call to NUNO. NUNO was working at the restaurant and CS#2 agreed to meet him to purchase the marijuana. CS#2 and a law enforcement officer met with NUNO and purchased approximately 901.6 grams of marijuana from NUNO at the restaurant.
On March 3, 2004, agents learned that NUNO had approximately 26 pounds of marijuana at his home. Because the marijuana was old, NUNO was selling it for $600 a pound. NUNO also had "new" marijuana that he was selling for approximately $800 a pound. He also had very high quality marijuana that he referred to as "chronic" which was approximately $3,000 a pound.
On March 3, 2004, CS#2 spoke with NUNO about obtaining methamphetamine in addition to the marijuana. NUNO told CS#2 he would check on the availability of methamphetamine and agreed to bring the marijuana to the restaurant the following day.
On March 4, 2004, a law enforcement officer and CS#2 met with NUNO and purchased approximately 3.8 pounds of marijuana. NUNO introduced himself and stated he was expecting fresher marijuana in the future. The law enforcement officer asked NUNO if he would be able to set him up with "some of the white stuff," referring to methamphetamine. After they spoke, the law enforcement officer handed NUNO $2,400 and NUNO counted the money.
Law enforcement officers seized 130 pounds of marijuana in March of 2005 that was destined to NUNO. On January 3, 2008, a co-conspirator provided a detailed statement concerning the drug trafficking of NUNO and another individual. The co-defendant informed law enforcement officers that he was providing multi-hundred pound quantities of marijuana to NUNO in Montana.
The amount of marijuana directly attributable to NUNO is between 400 and 700 kilograms.
NUNO faces possible penalties of a mandatory minimum of 5 years in prison and could be sentenced to 40 years, a $2,000,000 fine and 4 years supervised release.
Assistant U.S. Attorney James E. Seykora prosecuted the case for the United States.
The investigation was a cooperative effort between the Drug Enforcement Administration, the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and the High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area (HIDTA) Task Force.

PEORIA Friday Mar 15 2013 Simeon's Edward Morrow (33) comes in for a shot in the last quarter against Proviso East in the state basketball semifinals.| Michelle LaVigne~Sun-Times Media
Article Extras
PEORIA — Before the season even began, Simeon senior Jabari Parker saw something special in 6-6 sophomore Edward Morrow. Parker chose Morrow as the underclassman most likely to take over his role as Simeon's superstar.
The Simeon coaching staff chuckled when they heard Parker had picked Morrow. There are several more highly pedigreed underclassmen in the Simeon program.
Friday in the Class 4A state semifinals at Carver Arena, Morrow might have turned his coaches into believers.
"I just wait for the coach to call my number," Morrow said. "Coach [Robert Smith] always tells us to be ready. That's why I work as hard as I do in practice. I was surprised when I got as many minutes as I did, but I was ready for the challenge.''
Morrow only played 13 minutes and scored just six points, but his play was the crucial difference in the Wolverines' 68-56 win over Proviso East.
"Edward Morrow stepped up big for us and got some big baskets," Smith said. "To bring a guy in off the bench like that was huge."
Simeon's rotation has been cut severely short over the past month, with the five starters playing almost the entire game together.
"[Morrow] has the passion for the game," Parker said. "He got the opportunity, took advantage of it and he shined."
Parker sparkled as well, continuing his run of dominant play in March. He finished with game-highs of 20 points and 18 rebounds.
Kendrick Nunn added 14 points and four assists and Kendall Pollard scored 15, grabbed six rebounds and dished out four assists. Jaylon Tate finished with nine points and seven assists.
Simeon led 33-31 at the half and 43-41 after three. The Wolverines opened the fourth quarter with an 8-2 run to build an eight-point lead. The Pirates closed to within 55-51 midway through the fourth but Simeon responded with a 7-0 run to finish it off.
"I really think Morrow was the difference," Proviso East coach Donnie Boyce said. "We didn't anticipate him having the impact he had in the second half."
Parish McCullum led the Pirates (29-4) with 19 points. Sterling Brown added 12 points and 11 rebounds, Jevon Carter scored 12 and Paris Lee scored 11 and dished out 10 assists.
Simeon (29-3) will face Stevenson in the state title game Saturday at 8:15 p.m. Win or lose it will be the final game for Simeon's five senior starters.
"A lot of that stuff doesn't mean much to me until we win," Parker said. "Most importantly I'm just going to cherish every moment with my team."

Rest assureddesigners Shawn Henderson and Marie Turner Carson have taken the measure of these nighttime essentials that are crucial for any bedroom
By Laura Regensdorf
Covered in a distressed white buffalo leather and accented with brass nailheads, this nightstand is ideal for a rustic lodge, says Henderson. "The finish will take on an interesting patina with age," he adds. Carson describes it as contemporary-meets-vintage and likes its "edgy, Western feel." It's practical too: The drawer provides storage, while the open cubby offers a place to display a basket or books. 27" w. x 18" d. x 27" h.; $895; rh.com

A week after more than 400 HSBC jobs were spared, the company announced it would be vacating one of the most recognizable sights on the Buffalo skyline. YNN's Meg Rossman has more on the company's plans to leave One HSBC Center and what it will mean for more than 3,000 local employees.
BUFFALO, N.Y. — "You've got that tower and what are they going to do with it," The Irish Times owner Marie Stachera asked.
That was the million dollar question Wednesday, hours after HSBC officials announced they'll be vacating downtown Buffalo's tallest building.
"I don't know what's going to happen with the tower itself but it certainly creates a huge hole in the real estate market in downtown Buffalo," Erie County Executive Mark Poloncarz said.
And likely add to the growing hole in the wallets of local business owners like Stachera.
"With the Canadian Consulate leaving and now HSBC is closing down, it's almost empty over there," Stachera explained. "It's having a huge impact on my lunches."
According to HSBC officials, the company will begin vacating the building early next year with plans to completely vacate One HSBC Center when their lease expires in October 2013. Despite the move, however, they aren't anticipating any layoffs as a result.
"They're just going to be moved to other locations in Erie County, whether it's the Atrium Building downtown or the Depew location," Poloncarz explained. "But I am very worried because hundreds of thousands basically of square feet of office space are going to be popping up on the market."
Whether a new tenant will step up to the plate remains to be seen.
Wednesday, Buffalo Mayor Byron Brown issued a statement saying in part:
"…We already have in place a number of strategic initiatives designed to attract new investment to the building and in Downtown Buffalo…"
"Whether it's helping them with parking or cheaper rent, they have to do something to get people into the city."
Law firm Phillips-Lytle previously announced it would also be vacating the tower in 2014.

It can be 'seer-sha' or 'sair-sha' I wouldn't butcher the spelling. Once people know what it says they'll remember.

I think more people here on Nameberry - who are interested in and look into names - will know how to pronounce Saoirse correctly than people in the outside world. I mention this because asking here will not be the same as asking your friends, or non-name-nerds.
There's an actress with the name, which makes it more familiar too.
I have a name that is difficult to pronounce if you see it written out (its my s/n). However, I can't recall ever being bothered by having to pronounce it for others.
June 6th, 2013 09:32 PM #7
It's pretty, but it WILL be mispronounced and misspelled. I guess you could spell it phonetically, but I think it would lose a lot of it's charm. I wouldn't consider this name myself for this reason.

It's a middle name on our list - but only a middle name. I'm comfortable with it being little more than an S. on many forms (I have my own odd S. middle name so that's a bit cute actually) and I am not brave enough to use at as first.
I hate the idea of it phoneticized. Takes it right to what I think of as "Shavonne land." I hate Shavonne/Sh'Vonne/Chevaughn (all things I've seen done to Siobhan) so much.


text: LA vows clampdown after Zimmerman-linked violence Print article Send a Tip AFP 7/16/2013 7:34:09 PM Los Angeles' police chief vowed Tuesday to clamp down harder on protests over the Trayvon Martin trial, after 14 people were arrested on a second night of violence.Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) chief Charlie Beck said his officers would not allow a repeat of Monday night, when protestors jumped on cars, damaged shops and attacked bystanders."We cannot allow a small group of individuals to not only damage ... and strike fear the community, but also to destroy the message of so many in the community," he said.Police gave "a lot of leeway" to demonstrators Monday evening to allow them freedom of speech, he said. "Unfortunately we won't be able to do that tonight because of the circumstances of last night."Of the 14 arrested, seven adults and six juveniles were suspected of failing to disperse and one was suspected of inciting a riot, said LAPD spokesman Gus Villanueva. Firefighters had to extinguish several small fires and responded to a couple of minor injuries, a Los Angeles Fire Department spokesman said.On Sunday eight people were arrested, including at a protest outside the CNN building in Hollywood, over the acquittal at trial of volunteer neighborhood watch guard George Zimmerman.Then late Monday 14 people were arrested after businesses including a Wal-Mart store were damaged as some 150 people "sought to exploit" Zimmerman being cleared of murdering black teen Martin, Los Angeles mayor Eric Garcetti said.The protesters skirmished with police along several streets in the Crenshaw District in southwestern Los Angeles. The Wal-Mart store was damaged, and a restaurant window smashed, local media reported.Los Angeles is ever mindful of the deadly April 1992 riots in the city, which erupted after the acquittal of four white police officers over the notorious 1991 beating of Rodney King.The Martin case pitted people who thought Zimmerman, 29, -- son of a white father and a Peruvian mother -- killed Martin, 17, in self-defense last February, against others who considered it a racially-motivated killing.Garcetti condemned the protestors at a press conference late Monday."The trial that we saw in Florida has ignited passions, but we have to make sure that it will not ignite this city and we see a small group that has taken this opportunity to exploit this situation," he said."The Martin family was very clear that those who sympathize with their plight, the best way to honor their son and their loved one is in a nonviolent manner."

Huntelaar committed to Schalke
Klaas-Jan Huntelaar has insisted leaving Schalke "is not part of the plan" after making a winning return to action this year.
The Dutchman ended five and a half months of injury agony by inspiring the Royal Blues to back-to-back victories in 2014.
Huntelaar is reported to have a release clause in his contract, which expires in 2015, but he does not care for that.
– Schalke forward Klaas-Jan Huntelaar.
I'm fully focused on Schalke. Leaving Schalke is not part of the plan.
I don't know all the precise details of my contract, but that doesn't play a role anyway.

The effects of conflict on children are well-documented. Family researchers generally agree that parental conflict is the biggest predictor of poor outcome for children. The most powerful determinants are the level and intensity of the conflict between parents, and whether the conflict is resolved. This is true no matter whether parents are married or divorced.
Summary of the Research on the Effects of Conflict
"I know that what I am about to do is damaging to you and is likely to affect you forever. But at this moment, indulging my anger is more important than your well being."
Yikes! Who wants to say or do that to their children? Yet, when we fight with the other parent in front of our kids, in essence our actions say to our kids, "I don't care how you feel about this."
One way to counter the negative effects of conflict on children is to learn to fight differently. It's called fair fighting and it's all laid out on this page. It may take a bit of time to learn to work on solving a problem instead of trying to win at all costs. But the results will be so well worth your effort. Your kids need this from you almost more than anything else.

LTD, that pic is along the lines of what I'm thinking although I prefer a baffle mounted version.
Directly copying the QSC is a little questionable ethically IMO. At least if it is done for more than your own use. I think it would be more appropriate to do something similar or improved. Something similar to the 152 horn but with more width would be great, but I think a asymmetric OS WG would be the best.
This is what I'm thinking:
1. Develop the mathematical model to create a graphic representation of the profile.
2. Take that model and create an actual 3D model with the appropriate material thickness, baffle mounting area, and driver mounting area
3. Send it to a 3D printing/rapid prototyping shop for a 1-off
4. Make some casting molds using the 1-off
5. Cast horns using a rigid urethane plastic

Baba ghannouj (eggplant dip)
Preparation time: 13 minutes
1 large eggplant
Preheat oven to 400°F. Cut eggplant in half lengthwise. Place it on a baking sheet with cut sides down. Bake in hot oven for approximately 20 minutes, until skin is dark and eggplant is soft and cooked through when pierced with a fork. Meanwhile, place garlic in a small mixing bowl; add tahini and lemon juice. When eggplant is done, remove from oven and run cold water over eggplant halves for one minute. Drain water and cool slightly. Remove skin (it will peel back easily). Dice the eggplant and place it in bowl with tahini mixture. Mash the eggplant with the other ingredients to make a lumpy dip. Sprinkle with parsley and cayenne pepper, and drizzle the olive oil over the top of the sauce. Chill until serving time. Serve with pita triangles.

Cindy and Gloria completed the pharmacy technician program at AACC this past summer. The final component of the program was an internship in the field. While they both decided to study and work in the medical field, their stories and experiences are quite different.
Cindy Michael first learned how to be a pharmacy technician in the air force, or as she calls it, in another lifetime. After the air force, she went to nursing school. Then, she was a stay-at-home mom for a while. In 2004, with her youngest grown, she decided to return to school. Cindy wanted to study to become a pharmacy technician again and AACC could help her do just that.
AACC had the pharmacy technician certificate program and it was the only local pharmacy technician program that was recognized by American Society of Health-Systems Pharmacists (ASHP) known to her.
"The program is all set up and laid out for you. All you have to do is follow it," said Cindy. "Stephanie, [the coordinator and instructor for the program], is great to talk to and she'll keep you on track. The classes were small and the teachers really knew their subject matter. It is a great program and it will definitely prepare you for the field."
Right now, Cindy is enjoying some time with her new granddaughter. When she returns to work, Cindy wants to explore different areas. In the air force, she was in a hospital setting, but a military hospital and a civilian hospital are different. Cindy said that working with civilians will be new to her. She also has an interest in working in a community setting because she likes to interact with people. But no matter where she ends of working, as long as she is working in the medical field, she will be happy because that is where her passion lies.Gloria's Story
Gloria Eichelman came to AACC in 2004 and this past summer she completed the pharmacy technician certificate program. She is continuing to take classes at the college to earn her associate degree.
Gloria is very busy with work, school and a family. She has worked in customer service at Lowe's for six years and has two children – Alexander, who is 2, and Caitlyn, who is 5. Returning to school wasn't easy but she is glad she did.
"I wasn't serious about college at first, then I had two children, and I realized I had to do something," said Gloria. "AACC was a starting point for me. It was better than trying to go to a university. AACC is local and convenient. There are classes all the time and the people here are willing to help you."
Gloria plans to start working at a retail pharmacy in the spring and also continue to take classes part time. She hopes to be able to also earn her bachelor's and study to become a research pharmacist.

NEW YORK ( TheStreet Ratings) -- Each month, the ETF Industry Association) analyzes the assets under management and the net cash flow data for a growing list of U.S. exchange-traded funds. Net cash inflows totaling $12.9 billion in June brought ETF net cash inflows year-to-data up to $75.9 billion.
Overall assets under management in exchange-traded products, covering 1,476 exchange-traded funds and exchange-traded notes, surged by $41.1 billion in June to end at $1.18 trillion. All of the asset and flow data included in this article was released on Tuesday, July 3rd by the ETF Industry Association.
U.S. equity exchange-traded products did well in June with total net inflows of $4.6 billion. These U.S. equity funds represent the second largest recipient of new money at $22.7 billion year-to-date. $1.3 billion flowed into SPDR S&P 500 (SPY) reversing the year-to-date net outflow to a net gain of $561 million. PowerShares QQQ (QQQ) pulled in a $1.4 billion net cash flow in June while $454 million exited from SPDR DJIA (DIA).
Together with the nearly $1.2 billion flowing into the global and international equity ETF category, equity inflows outpaced fixed income in June. The largest June inflows came to Vanguard MSCI Emerging Markets (VWO) at $1.0 billion, making this fund the largest collector of year-to-date cash flow at $7.4 billion. iShares MSCI-Emerging Mkts (EEM) at $226 million, Wisdom Tree EM Equity Income (DEM) at $223 million and iShares MSCI-Brazil (EWZ) at $133 million all drew in positive net cash flows for June.In the 18th consecutive month of net inflows, another $4.8 billion entered fixed income ETFs in June setting the mark for year-to-date inflow at $35.1 billion.

I worked at Charles Schwab full-time (more than 5 years)Pros
Flexibility, 1 month paid sabbatical for every 5 years of service, work/life balance, clear infrastructure & easy navigation throughout different departments, positive corporate cultureCons
Way too many changes to objectives and the comp plan for financial consultants, an HR department that doesn't have the back of employees but is strictly there to protect management, poor compensation for overall responsibilities, poor identity of branch talent, lack of diversityRecommendsNegative OutlookDisapproves of CEO

I worked at Charles Schwab full-time (more than 5 years)Pros
The corp side of the company is fare to the point of pay and benefits.Cons
They let unqualified managers manage their people. Instead of promoting within, they go out and get their managers from less than great company's like E*Trade. They would rather go outside so there are no conflicts from promoting with in. They are afraid that if you promote someone, that others around them at their previous level wouldn't respect them. So you have a bunch of qualified people already in house, but instead you go outside the company to find, excuse my language, idiots, that have no idea what they are doing. I would say this wasn't the norm, but in my five years there I never saw anyone in the branches promoted, not anyone! But I did see a high turnover of idiot managers they hired from the outside world.
I left because I was sick or working for idiots that I can honestly say a trained monkey could do a better job. Not to mention, they hired a few Mormon managers from Utah and immediately good employees started getting fired and funniest thing, they were replacing them with Mormons. Now tell me corp should have at least caught onto that.Advice to ManagementAdvice
Stop hiring from outside! You have a ton of talent at the bottom, they just can't get anywhere because you keep hiring in people above them for outside of Schwab. It doesn't take much smarts to know, that hiring in managers and managers that have worked their way up are totally different people. Fact, people that have worked their way up understand the company's values and how to do their job along with how to do the jobs of the people below them. Another Fact, people promoted up the chain stay with the company longer. Another Fact on that subject, company's that promote within and employee's actually see this happening get to keep all their trained employee's longer, but when you are some place for 5 years and see no one promoted, you know it is time to move on!Doesn't RecommendPositive OutlookApproves of CEO

Selection of search terms in an online search environment can be facilitated by the visual display of a knowledge map showing the various concepts and their links. This paper reports on a preliminary research aimed at designing a prototype knowledge map using DDC and its visual display. The prototype knowledge map created using the Protæ#169;gæ#169; and TGViz freeware has been demonstrated, and further areas of research in this field are discussed.
