Carol Wilson profiled BroadbandCensus.com today in Telephony Online. She quotes me as follows:
"What we're trying to do in some respects is fact-check or truth-check the FCC's numbers," Clark said. "They have been saying there's lots of broadband available anywhere. On a ZIP code basis, they have said there are eight, 10, 25 different broadband providers. We want to see if that's really true."
What the FCC won't provide, Clark points out, are the names of the broadband service providers, which might reveal how many are actually reselling local telephone or DSL lines. Nor has the agency gone beyond five-digit ZIP codes to the more specific nine-digit listings which could show residential areas with many fewer options than business districts.
Also, Wilson wrote a separate blog post about her experience using the site on Telephony Unfiltered.
BroadbandCensus.com continues to undergo tweaks. For example, today we've add the ability to browse availability by state, city and ZIP code. That makes it easy to find out about availability and competition in areas where you do not know the ZIP code. Here's the link to 60076 in Skokie, Illinois, for example.
Please keep the comments and feedback coming!

Rabbit Beach in Sicily: Crowned Best Beach in the World
Recently named as the best beach in the world by a survey of travellers, Rabbit Beach in Lampedusa is certainly a sight for sore eyes. In the first annual best beach awards by TripAdvisor, this beach came top based on millions of reviews and ratings by tourists on their website.
This remote beach on the island of Lampedusa, off the south coast of Sicily, was described by travellers as an unspoilt nature reserve. And it can only be accessed by boat adding to the feeling of discovering somewhere spectacular.
With stunning turquoise waters and white sands, it is a haven for beach lovers who are looking for something a little different from the usual beach offerings. It is also one of the few places in the Mediterranean where the loggerhead sea turtle still lays its eggs.
Lampedusa is Italy's southernmost island and sits a mere 70 miles from the Tunisia mainland, actually closer to Africa than Italy, with Sicily almost 125 miles away. It is geologically part of Africa since the sea between the two is not deeper than 120 metres.
Off-season, this island is pretty deserted with only a sprinkling of eateries still open. Yet travellers who have visited this beach in chilly times have still professed how inviting the water is, and how they still have the urge to sit on the white sands. Not even overcast weather and a cold climate can deter from the natural beauty of the world's best beach.
Apart from the recessed cove of Rabbit Beach, the top ten included Whitehaven Beach in Australia, Flamenco Beach in Puerto Rico and a surprise entry at number 10 with Rhossili Bay in Swansea, UK. You can see the full listing of the top twenty five beaches according to TripAdvisor, here.
If you decide that a visit to Lampedusa is on the cards, then it is best to be prepared before you set off on your journey. Because of the secluded nature of the island, and especially the beach, it is essential to have all the travel money you will need before you go. You don't want to be without money in paradise, so make sure you think ahead of your trip so that you get the best currency exchange rates. Travelex have a great selection of deals and handy pick up centres so you can order online and pick up at a wide selection of agencies.

Listen to iBme's Executive Director Jessica Morey on episode 35 of the Present Moment Podcast. Jessica talks about the history of iBme, the key to working with teenagers, and what both teens and adults find surprising on teen retreat. Through her experience staffing and teaching teen retreats over the past years Jessica has watched teens grow and transform, and shares some of these changes.. Click here to listen.
Inward Bound Mindfulness Education Executive Director Jessica Morey has written a review of Susan Murphy's book Minding The Earth, Mending The World: Zen And the Art of Planetary Crisis, which will be published under the title "Bodhi Trees," in the November 2014 issue of Shambhala Sun magazine. To read the review, please click here.
iBme has been featured in this Seattle Insight Meditation Society article by retreat alumni Emily Yuen: "My father had pushed me to meditate with him in the past, but I had always been doubtful about its effectiveness. It had seemed too abstract to be applicable to my life. When he enrolled me in the iBme teen meditation retreat, I immediately wanted to cancel. But because I was in such an exceptionally fragile state, I decided I would try it." To read the full article, please click here.

- UMass Center for Mindfulness Annual Scientific Conference, April 4th. I will be presenting research on the impact of iBme's 2013 summer teen retreats with Dr. Brian Galla from the University of Pennsylvania.
iBme has been featured in this Greater Good article, How to Teach Teens About the Brain, by iBme volunteer retreat staff Amir Flesher – as a model for teaching teens contemplative practices in a fun, socially supportive environment.
iBme teen retreats were featured in Spirituality & Health Magazine's August 2013 edition, Easing the Angst of Adolescence: practicing mindfulness can help teens cope with the pressures of growing up – and even ward off symptoms of depression.
Ariel Parrella-Aurell, a teen retreatant on one of iBme's recent summer retreats, writes about her experience: My View: Meditation Retreat Improves Health.
An iBme staff, Caverly Morgan, wrote this beautiful blog post about her experience on the Virginia Teen Retreat this summer with many comments from teens.
Jessica Morey presented at the conference "Teacher Mindfulness and Compassion to Youth" in San Francisco in April. You can see a video of her presentation here in Session 1.
Jessica Morey and Dr. Willoughby Britton presented Dr. Brian Galla's research on the psychological benefits of iBme's summer teen retreats at the 2014 UMass Center for Mindfulness Annual Scientific Conference. 132 teens participated in Dr. Galla's three-month pilot study, which found that "participation in an intensive youth meditation retreat is associated with robust improvements in various indices of psychological well-being and mental health."

New York Times Feature - Mindfulness: Getting Its Share of Attention
"Hundreds of peer-reviewed studies verify the benefits of mindfulness training, and Mr. Tan appeared familiar with all of them. Meditation thickens the brain's cortex, it lowers blood pressure, it can heal psoriasis and "it can help you get a promotion," he said. Companies like Goldman Sachs and Farmers Insurance also hire Mr. Tan and his team to teach techniques like pausing before sending important emails and silently wishing happiness upon difficult co-workers…" More →
Update: Visiting Feelings has won a Mom's Choice Gold Award!!!
iBme friend and retreat staff Lauren Rubenstein's new book, Visiting Feelings, is now available. Visiting Feelings encourages children to treat their feelings like guests — welcome them in, get to know them, and perhaps learn why they are visiting. Through this purposeful and mindful exploration, Visiting Feelings harnesses a young child's innate capacity to fully experience the present moment and invites children to sense, explore, and befriend all of their feelings with acceptance and equanimity. Find out more or buy the book through the publisher, APA's Magination Press, or visit the Facebook page.
Also check this great video clip, "Mindfulness: Youth Voices.", which addresses questions such as, "What is mindfulness? Why would I be interested in it?" The highlight of the film is the youth sharing, in their own words, how mindfulness practice has changed their lives.

Reverse Blog II: The Bisons Stink
This is my second "reverse blog" that appears Tuesday in the D&C print edition. Enjoy!
The Buffalo Bisons thought they struck gold when they signed with the New York Mets last fall.
Fool's gold, perhaps.
The Bisons, who visit Frontier Field tonight, have the worst record in pro baseball at 2-15. It's their worst start since Triple-A baseball returned to Buffalo in 1985.
They're 13 games out of first just 19 days into the season. They're 1-11 at home and have been shut out there four times already.
The Mets signed several free agents for the Bisons and keep signing them (including veteran Wily Mo Pena last week). Nothing is working.
"I've never seen a team where virtually everyone is in a batting slump like this," longtime beat writer Mike Harrington told me.
Not one Bison is hitting above .270, and only three of the 16 positional players are over .250. The team average is just .196.
Star prospect Nick Evans was benched after a 5-for-53 start with 18 strikeouts. He has one single this season and is batting .089.
The Bisons entered Monday with one win against a pitcher. The other came against Pawtucket catcher Carlos Maldonado, who was forced to pitch in an extra-inning game.
Syracuse settled for the lowly Washington Nationals, but the Chiefs are doubled over in laughter now. They entered Monday 7-0 against Buffalo.
Two reasons why the Red Wings aren't winning: They don't have a power hitter, and they don't have a closer. Justin Huber should be the power presence, and he homered and doubled in his debut Saturday before injuring his hamstring.
"He changes our lineup," manager Stan Cliburn said.
It's closer by committee until Tim Lahey returns from a foot injury, which is still days away.
Saturday, Wings third baseman Luke Hughes became the fourth player in Frontier Field's 13-year history to clear the videoboard in left-center.
Only two players have fouled a ball back into the press box in that same time frame. That means it's twice as easy to hit a ball 450 feet to left-center than it is to foul one back 165 feet behind home plate (yes, we measured).
Baseball is, indeed, a funny game.
Leo Mazzone, fired by the Baltimore Orioles in 2007 after two years as pitching coach, recently told ESPN The Magazine that the Orioles were "the most dysfunctional organization I've been around in 42 years of baseball."
To which Red Wings fans everywhere are saying, "Amen to that."
The Yankees are taking a lot of heat for not filling the lower section of overpriced box seats at their new palace, but they still lead the majors in attendance, averaging 44,502. They are playing to 85 percent capacity.
Boston is eighth with an average of 37,719, but the Red Sox are playing to 101.6 percent capacity. Hey, somebody call the fire marshal.
The Yankees didn't always draw well at home: On Sept. 25, 1966, a scant 413 showed up at Yankee Stadium to see the White Sox roll 4-1.

Katherine Heigl to Star in HBO Original Movieby Steve Marsi at . Comments
Former Grey's Anatomy star Katherine Heigl, who left the show in 2010 to focus on her film career, is poised to return to the small screen for the first time since.
The Emmy winner has signed on to produce and star in an HBO original movie based on Ann Hood's best-selling novel The Knitting Circle, according to TV Line.
The semi-autobiographical book centers on a mother mourning the death of her young daughter and battling grief that jeopardizes every aspect of her life.
She begins to find her way back into the world through a knitting circle.
Dirty Sexy Money creator/playwright Craig Wright will pen the adaptation, Wright's first for HBO since his days as a writer for the acclaimed Six Feet Under.

Ok dirty sexy money had two full seasons.....
I want to know more of the CURRENT prominent figures of GA. Ofter all this is a page about GA. Move ON!!!!!!!
I first love katherine! But now i HATE her, she left greys for "family time" FUCKyou, this costs even moooore time then shooting episodes! My respect for her is totally gone
Wonder what sets off the MerDer loonies (or should I say "loony")? Several of "her" accounts are doing their usual bitching and name calling on another nameless site. Just another day in La La Land right-O?
I've tried to be a fan of KH (who I adored as Izzie) in other venues, but for me, for some reason, her acting seems hokey and forced in her movies (and I have seen most of them.) On the other hand, she was fabulous as Izzie. The part was made for her and she shined in it. Wonder if she'll look back someday and realize leaving a part that fit her so well for "greener patures" was a mistake.
We shall see something else in the hiatus so we could take KH movies for suggestion.
Lorna, it´s good that she says what she thinks, but she can´t complain and insult. There is a difference.
Who cares what it does?? enough!! now only my thoughts on Alex. Izzie no longer exists and also Katherine.
Gosh so many haters... just cuz she doesn't pretend and keeps her thoughts inside and says whatever is on her mind.. she is a bitch? KH has her life, so she can take decision whther she would like to work or leave any project.. Although as much as I miss Izzie ( and still secretly wish that she would show up for Alex) Best of luck to her for her future ventures! :)
Dirty Sexy Money, was canceled after 5 epi's.....and so will this one.

Shon Flores Sentenced in U.S. District Cour
The United States Attorney's Office announced that during a federal court session in Billings, on March 31, 2010, before Senior U.S. District Judge Jack D. Shanstrom, SHON FLORES, a 32-year-old resident of Billings, appeared for sentencing. FLORES was sentenced to a term of:
- Prison: 75 months
- Special Assessment: $100
- Supervised Release: 5 years
FLORES was sentenced in connection with his guilty plea to conspiracy to possess with the intent to distribute and distribute cocaine.
In an Offer of Proof filed by Assistant U.S. Attorney James E. Seykora, the government stated it would have proved at trial the following:
From August 2008 and June 2009, FLORES was distributing an array of cocaine in Billings, Missoula, and other areas of Montana by and through co-conspirators. His co-conspirators were a loosely knit group of former and current football players and coaches for the Billings Outlaws, a professional indoor football team.
T.C. was one of the main distributors for FLORES in Billings. FLORES traveled to Salt Lake City on numerous occasions either by himself or had other conspirators drive there to pick up cocaine for redistribution. Quantities received by FLORES himself included six ounces, quarter kilo, and half kilos of cocaine at one time. A total of approximately nine kilograms were received during the period of the conspiracy from his source of supply.
During the period of the conspiracy, the DEA and FBI working in conjunction, made undercover purchases and controlled buys of cocaine, by and through FLORES, T.C. and other co-conspirators, as follows:
DateAmount of Cocaine
On July 2, 2009, FLORES admitted to law enforcement that he was involved in a conspiracy and that the amount of cocaine involved was roughly nine kilograms. The cocaine was distributed to various individuals and groups throughout the Billings community, including business owners, professionals and salesmen.
Because there is no parole in the federal system, the "truth in sentencing" guidelines mandate that FLORES will likely serve all of the time imposed by the court. In the federal system, FLORES does have the opportunity to earn a sentence reduction for "good behavior." However, this reduction will not exceed 15% of the overall sentence.
The investigation was a cooperative effort between the Drug Enforcement Administration, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the Eastern Montana High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area (HIDTA) Task Force, the U.S. Marshals Service and the Billings Big Sky Safe Streets Task Force.

Bruce Campbell Says EVIL DEAD 4 Is Finally in the Works
by Matt Goldberg Posted 3 years, 163 days ago
Fans of the Evil Dead franchise have been clamoring for a fourth film for decades. They've imagined Freddy vs. Jason vs. Ash and they've taken comfort in the Evil Dead-style "spookablast" of Sam Raimi's Drag Me to Hell. But hard news of an actual sequel has been scarce. However, today offers the most promising news yet for Evil Dead 4. Dread Central reports that editor Bob Murawski (Army of Darkness) has gone to Detroit to begin work on the project, which will be "a small indie thing like the first two." But when star Bruce Campbell was questioned by a fan on Twitter about the project's veracity, he responded, "Believe in the remake, dawg! The project is real. In the works. Cool as hell. Scary as hell."
I believe the correct response to that news is "Groovy." Hit the jump for my thoughts on the sequel.

Published July 25, 2013
Britain's Prince William and his wife Kate, the duke and duchess of Cambridge, have named their son George Alexander Louis. He will be known as His Royal Highness Prince George of Cambridge. As Henry Ridgwell reports for VOA from London, there was a lot of pressure on the couple to get the name right, but his childhood should be markedly different from the royal babies of previous generations.

Can a universal remote control be sexy? Let's ask the Logitech Harmony One
And the remote responds with an enthusiastic yes! The Harmony One is Logitech's latest addition to its line of exceptional consumer-focused universal remote controls. The One seems to be a happy middle-man between Logitech's high-end Harmony 1000 and some of the middle- to lower-end models.
The one advantage the One has over the 1000 is the form factor. No matter how many times companies try, that brick-style of remote control just doesn't work. Consumers need something that is lightweight, sexy and can fit in one hand, like a glove.
The Harmony One includes a 2.2-inch, full-color touch screen that can be programmed specifically for the most uptight remote control snob. An included lithium-ion battery and charging station ensures the junk-drawer battery hunt will never take place, at least for the remote. The glossy black layout increases home entertainment sexiness 10-fold and as always, Logitech's installation software makes it easy as pie to replace up to 15 remotes in your home with this one device. It is available for $250.

These photos were taken about 12 weeks after
surgery. The most remarkable aspect of Dr. Bowers' technique is her extensive
use of externalized urethral mucosa: In this example, she has extended urethral
mucosa well above the clitoris, not just up to it (as do, for example, Drs.
Brassard and Menard). The patient did not like the appearance of so much pink
mucosa above the clitoris; she hoped that this could be revised, and more
hooding achieved, during a secondary procedure.
The labial structures are small, but there is
plenty of redundant skin around the vaginal introitus that could be used for
labial construction during a secondary procedure. Based on results like this and
comments on her web site, it appears that Dr. Bowers now expects that most of her
patients will undergo a secondary procedure and she has modified her technique
accordingly. The patient reported that her vaginal depth is 5-3/4 in. (14.5 cm)
using a 1-1/2 in. (38 mm) dilator. Erogenous sensation was good, but she had not
yet had an orgasm.
This close-up view, with the tissue surrounding
the urethral meatus pulled downward and laterally, shows the extensive margin of
urethral mucosa that has been preserved around the meatus. I speculate that this
may represent an effort to minimize urethral stenosis, which reportedly was a
problem with a few of Dr. Bowers' early vaginoplasties. The patient reported a
satisfactory urinary stream.

A Cobb County man is scheduled to be sentenced Thursday for repeatedly whipping a toddler over potty training. He was convicted of first-degree child cruelty on Wednesday and could get up to 20 years. Here's the story
Andrew Charles Pride, 31, is set to be sentenced Thursday and could be put behind bars for up to 20 years for whipping a 22-month old boy on his genitals, causing bleeding and welts. Pride's relationship to the child was not disclosed.
"This wasn't an accident," Assistant District Attorney Chuck Boring said. "This was malicious, and it was all because of potty training. Mr. Pride struck a 22-month-old baby in the groin multiple times because he wouldn't pee in the potty. This man's actions are the definition of malice."
Evidence presented at trial this week showed the whipping took place in August 2012 at an Austell residence.
Although Pride was convicted of one count of cruelty to children in the first degree, the jury deadlocked on a second charge. That charge stemmed from claims that Pride had enticed an older child to claim responsibility for the toddler's beating.
Superior Court Judge Rob Leonard will sentence Pride sentencing at 8:30 a.m. Thursday.
So what do you think is an appropriate punishment for this man? How much jail time should he serve? Is anyone else thinking he should be whipped like he did the child? (I'm sure that's not legal, but …)

Loaded my Recesky TLR DIY with a nice slide film because the sun was bright shining the whole day! Exposed the film on my way to school, back home and on a stroll with my boyfriend. I'm not sure but could it be that some photos have a lower color saturation and a loss of contrast?

text: Perez: One day something will happen with the tyres so we will regret it 7 October, 2013 Sergio Perez makes a pit stop to replace the nose cone damaged when a tyre blew on the McLaren McLaren driver Sergio Perez has added yet another dissenting voice to the debate about Formula 1's controversial and apparently dangerous Pirelli tyres. Fernando Alonso and Mark Webber in Korea slammed Pirelli for providing poor quality, heavily degrading products, but it was McLaren's Perez who actually suffered a scary accident in the race when his tyre exploded. "Pirelli will put the puncture of Perez down to a lock-up but the reason the drivers are locking up is because there's no tread left," Mark Webber had said. As predicted, Pirelli chief Paul Hembery did blame the Perez incident on a bad lock-up, but he said that Webber was wrong to point the finger. Sergio Perez in Korea "There are two issues here that Mark is conflating. [Perez's failure] was nothing to do with the delaminations earlier in the season," Hembery told the Telegraph. "The other issue about degradation is the same old story. We are only doing what we were asked to do, which is to create two to three stops per race." Perez, however, was making the link between Pirelli and compromised safety. "At the end of the day nothing happened," the Mexican is quoted by the AAP news agency, referring to injuries. "But one day something will happen. "Nothing happened so after today nobody will comment on the situation, but one day something will happen so we will regret it," said Perez. (GMM) Subbed by AJN.

They are a huge international company and should not listen to the little man and his manipulations. Perez is correct in saying that one day soon someone will get hurt or worse and the lawyers will have a field day. It is totally unnecessary that the tyres should be so marginal, there is no competition so its a manufactured situation. fapper Bring back either Michelin or Bridgestone… Bad Timer Pirelli is really in deep sh*t. Think about it, they joined F1 when bigger and wealthier tyre manufacturers (no.1 Bridgestone and no.2 Michelin) have pulled out. It is not cheap supplying those tyres to the teams. The only potential upside they wanted was a wider exposure of their brand and that's what they got. But this time around, in a very negative way. Paul Hembery can keep saying they were only making those specs out of demand but wasn't the mid-season spec change supposed to have addressed any safety-related issues? And realistically, who in the real world is going to fit Pirelli tyres in their pasenger cars now? I won't. Ever. I say bring back the real big boys like Bridgestone or Michelin too. Rt Goodyear EAGLE F1 Fletcher Memo to drivers before the race: If you lock up your tyres there is a possibility your tyre will explode. That's basically what he is saying and the drivers are suppoe to think What? Tyres need to be safe first and foremost. shadowman8882 No matter what, one of the main features any tyre manufacturer has to provide is SAFETY. If they cannot, then they should be immediately scrapped. What is FIA thinking? Waiting for someone to really get hurt….

Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
If you don't use your coupons before they expire, they're still worth the money you paid for them for an extra three months.
GrabOne FaceValue gives you another three months after your coupons expire, making it even easier to enjoy businesses all over New Zealand.
How does it work?
- A coupon is valid up until and including the expiry date printed on the coupon.
- If you don't use it before the expiry date for whatever reason, the coupon retains the value you paid for it for an additional three months.
- This means you can turn up to the business up to three months after the coupon has expired and put the money you spent to buy that coupon towards the service or experience printed on your coupon.
For example, if you spend $50 on a $100 dining voucher but don't use it before the expiry date, you will still be entitled to $50 worth of food and beverage services at that business for an additional three months.
The same goes for coupons without monetary values assigned to them. For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still put the money you spent on the coupon towards a bungy jump, for another three months. Remember, the FaceValue of your coupon can only be put toward the service or experience printed on your coupon.
A few things to note:
- FaceValue applies to all deals that display the FaceValue icon. If the icon is not on a deal, FaceValue does not apply.
- It's always best to use your coupon before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your coupons are about to expire.
- During the FaceValue period, your coupon can only be put towards the service stated on the coupon.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the FaceValue of your coupon can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- FaceValue does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- The conditions on your coupon still apply during the FaceValue grace period.

Paranoia takes many forms: A mental condition characterized by extreme and irrational suspicion. A 2004 industrial-espionage thriller by Joseph Finder. A print magazine dealing in conspiracy theories. A 2011 film starring Brad Jones. In this particular case, however, we travel to a world designed by Kafka, Stalin, Orwell, Huxley, Sartre, the Marx Brothers, and that crazy old man at the airport bar at 2am...Paranoia is a darkly humorous Tabletop Game originally created by Greg Costikyan, Dan Gelber, and Eric Goldberg.note It takes place After the End, in Alpha Complex, an isolated Underground and/or Domed city run by a supercomputer known variously as The Computer and "Friend Computer". After most of the human race was wiped out by some freak accident, The Computer tried to figure out what went wrong. Unfortunately, The Computer's databases had been corrupted, and after finding some Cold War propaganda, it came to the conclusion that Communists caused the disaster. Or possibly some other nebulous threat; no one is quite sure what happened any more, because what little true history of the world is left is heavily controlled.Already bonkers, following decades of successive subversion and reprogramming by various conflicting groups (High Programmers, Secret Societies, aliens from Pluto and/or Dimension 2Q4B), "Friend Computer" has only gotten more paranoid, schizophrenic, and insane. Neverthless, it still rules Alpha Complex with an iron fist, its dystopian society organized in a hierarchy of "security clearances" based on the electromagnetic spectrum (specifically Isaac Newton's version), from lowly Infrared worker drones, through Red grunts and Yellow managers, all the way up the rainbow to the Violet and Ultraviolet elite. note This society is supported by swarms of robots and spies, omnipresent surveillance, and a bureaucracy so huge and convoluted no one's quite sure who's in charge of what any more.Problems in Alpha Complex are solved by teams of Troubleshooters, whose job is to find trouble and shoot it. Threats include Traitors, Communists and other secret societies, unregistered Mutants, and Commie Mutant Traitors. This mission is complicated by the facts that Alpha Complex is a Communist state, and, thanks to years of clone breeding, overexposure to radiation, and other snafus, every last one of its inhabitants is a mutant. Everyone is also a member of one or more secret societies (mostly) plotting to overthrow the order of Alpha Complex. These groups include, but are not limited to:

A federal judge Tuesday struck down the practice known as "stop-and-frisk" in one case limited to private buildings in the Bronx. NY1's Erin Clarke filed the following report.
Officers in the Grand Concourse neighborhood of the Bronx patrol the buildings as part of an NYPD program known as Clean Halls.
"This is not heaven. They do have crime around here," Bronx resident Channon Lilly said. "This is, quote unquote, what they call one of the hoods."
Officers come in at the landlord's request and make stop-and-frisks as part of their patrols.
Many people -- some who preferred not to have their faces shown -- say they've experienced that practice all too often.
"Within a month period it would be like three to four times," one man said. "Last month it was like twice."
But Tuesday, a federal court judge ruled stop-and-frisks at these Bronx buildings unconstitutional.
It's one of three cases being heard challenging the controversial practice.
The New York Civil Liberties Union, which has been fighting stop-and-frisk, applauded the decision as a milestone.
"We're gratified and very very hopeful that this is a turning point with regard to stop-and-frisk, and that we're going to see a change," Donna Lieberman, NYCLU executive director, said.
Residents we spoke with had differing opinions on whether stop-and-frisk is fair -- or whether it's even working.
"I think that's awful," Bronx resident Willie Hayes said. I" think that should have stayed the way it is."
"You cannot violate a small amount of people in order to save another amount of people," Lilly said.
But some we spoke with say stop-and-frisks could be effective -- in some circumstances.
One thing those who live here do agree on is that officers don't come into the building very often. They say that's where their services would be best utilized.
"The smoking and the drinking, they should really take that to their own house, one resident said. "They do it right in the hallway. On the weekends they're here until two, three, four o'clock in the morning,"
In a statement, the city says the judge's decision unnecessarily interferes with the Department's efforts.
This is only a preliminary injunction, so the city will get a chance to argue against it in the coming months and two other cases that are also making their way through the courts.

After 35,693 shots fired, 583 grenades thrown and 2,184 bad guys killed, Bodycount's single-player mode lies bleeding before me. All seven hours and eight minutes of it. And I'm happy to report it was damn fun shooting holes in everything. In that respect, it is a big success. However, I was under the impression that the game would really come into its own on repeat plays in the eponymous Bodycount mode – and that's where things have gone awry.
But I'm getting ahead of myself. For those who've never encountered Bodycount before, it's a first-person shooter designed to put the fun back into shooting things. From the creators of Black (although with Stuart Black himself quitting the project before it was complete), it's similarly heavy on the destruction and all about the simple joy of firing a gun.
Above: Firing guns at things often ends in mass destruction. Which is as it should be, of course
I can't think of many FPS games with as much emphasis on weapon balance, which Bodycount excels at. Most games have shotguns that are predictably super-powerful up close but lose their sting rapidly over distance, but it's all exaggerated here, to great effect. Explosive grenade launchers are ludicrously powerful but take an absolute age to reload. And the silenced pistol is fast and quiet, but you need to be bang on with the accuracy or you're dead. It all translates into on-the-fly tactical changes that seriously turn the tables of combat.
There's a small amount of snap-to if you squeeze the aim button, but it's not enough to make this a skill-free experience. I did find myself using the trigger more for this feature, however, than the interesting walk/stand/lean mechanic that lets you squeeze the trigger to different degrees depending which effect you want. Leaning is fun, however, especially if you pretend to dodge bullets like Neo out of The Matrix.
That's not the only similarity with Keanu's finest hour (well, second-finest hour after Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure, naturally), as once you get through a few levels of naturalistic environments, suddenly you find yourself inside a very futuristic bunker.
Above: Bit of a curve ball, these sections. But they're ultra-challenging, even on Normal
It looks more like Capcom's Gamecube classic P.N.03 than anything else, and practically recreates the Matrix's lobby shootout in every room. Taking cover, waiting for reload gaps and leaning out to take a pot shot works really well and I can't help but think perhaps this futuristic concept should have been explored further. It has quite a distinct feel and could have had its own game.
But instead, it's used for variety (which is still commendable) and you soon find yourself back above ground, exploring a new area. From Africa to Asia, every setting has its own colour theme, meaning you can tell pretty much instantaneously how far through the game any screenshot is.
Above: Now, I like the orange area, but I also like the blue area. But which is best? Only one way to find out...
Asia's blue works beautifully, especially when the rain is hammering down. The sound effect of the rain on a tin roof is superb with stereo headphones on, especially with the gunfire, explosions and collapsing masonry sounding so good alongside it.
However, the music isn't so hot. It's generically themed to the area you're in, sure, but it's pretty featureless and all melody is passed up in favour of orchestral stabs and repeating ostinato patterns that get tiresome very quickly, especially when you're stuck looking for a way to reach the next waypoint marker.
It is frustrating when you're enjoying yourself immensely and then suddenly it all goes quiet because you've killed everyone and haven't found the next spawn trigger. You can see where you're supposed to go by the little on-screen marker (complete with distance reading), but signposting is pretty poor.
I always found my way eventually, but there were several occasions where I simply didn't know where I should be going. The coast in the bay was one, and another was outside the mine. It breaks up the action and could have been fixed so easily.
Impressively, the game doesn't get boring even when you're stuck on a particularly difficult section. I lost count the number of times I died and restarted on the Pirate Bay (when you're tracking a general in the warehouse). It's damn hard. But while the challenge itself was fine, it was the restart point that frustrated me.
Above: There's the warehouse in the background, guarded by a suicide bomber. Nice
You see, I'd found the general. I'd killed the guards, flushed him out and followed him to the other end of the map. And I killed him with a grenade. Mission updated – great. But then a sniper shot to the head cost me my life… at which point I was put back to the run-up to the warehouse. That's not fair. And it's not the only time a tough mission objective is cleared but you can still die and go back to the section before it - it happens quite often.
The game is still all about the action wherever you are in the narrative, so it doesn't grate for quite a while as you reattempt tricky sections, but reloading for the umpteenth time does start to stretch that willingness to try again.
I could live with the repeated set-backs if you only had to do it once in the campaign mode, but Bodycount mode sees the exact same instances of repeat deaths happening all over again. Why's that? Because you're literally doing everything again in exactly the same way.
The idea is that you play through previously-cleared levels, trying to better your grade for the level, then you compare your Bodycount score with your friends via online leaderboards. A great idea in theory, but it's incredibly under-developed.
You don't get to keep your unlocked weapons from the campaign mode, instead travelling back in time to the unlocks you had when you started that level. They're the same for everyone as there's no weapon shop here, but the game is replaying everything like it's the first time you saw the level. The first mission even has the tutorial instructions again! That's not a bespoke score attack mode, it's a level select.
Above: Bodycount mode is a glorified level select, only with your mates' scores next to it
Then there's the scoring system. The combo idea is solid enough – skill shots like grenade kills, headshots, explosion deaths and 'backstabbing' attacks from behind earn you a point on your combo meter. I could argue that it's somewhat haphazard, but let's say for argument's sake that you can pull these things off deliberately every time.
It's not based at all on perfection or clever ways to keep your combo up. The time between kills can be really long and will stay active as long as the skill shot kills keep coming. And while dying does stop your combo, it doesn't seem to affect your overall score. I died about 20 times replaying the Pirate Bay (same bit with the damn general), yet my 16-strong combo at the start earned me an A-grade. I didn't deserve an A-grade – I was embarrassingly bad in the latter half.
Above: Sure, my 19 combo was decent, but I died so many times. I do not deserve that 'A'
As a result, this score-attack mode is unlikely to see friends competing in earnest for bragging rights, which is a shame. I mean, The Club's scoring system is brilliantly balanced, yet even that didn't take off – what chance does this have?
It all comes back to the Operative Support Button, which is assigned to the D-pad and gives you access to four different boosts in all but the first few levels of the game, each of which using different amounts of your intel bar. At preview stage, this looked like being Bodycount's biggest asset, with the idea being you get more intel from enemies killed while using the OSB, thus souping up the action into a non-stop barrage of usage, reward and replenishment. However, after finishing the game, I'm not convinced it quite works like that.
The adrenaline shot works very well, giving you near-invincibility for a scant few seconds and really is your best friend in a tricky situation. However, the explosive rounds' effect wears off so quickly (and leaves you without that crucial adrenaline shot safety cushion), it's not really worth using in a firefight.
Likewise, the Radar upgrade is only really useful when it's become a sort of EMP-style weapon, sending out a lethal shockwave. However, this is only ever essential in the final boss battle (that's not a spoiler – the game comes up with a message explicitly telling you to use it so there can be no misunderstandings).
Above: Your OSB buttons get upgraded as you progress through the campaign, but are underplayed in single-player
And that leaves the airstrike, which is brilliant fun, but takes up so much intel (and only works outside), you only really get to use it when the game requires you to. I don't think I got to use it of my own volition once in regular combat during my entire play-through, which is probably better for game balance, but definitely not for player enjoyment.
Just when you start to think maybe the OSB (and, indeed, Bodycount itself) is turning out to be a bit guff after all its promise, you hit multiplayer mode. And suddenly, it makes a metric tonne of sense. For instance, each time you die, you are given a small amount of intel again when you spawn. Tap left on the OSB and you can immediately see the location of enemies around you (those higher or lower denoted with a small arrow in the appropriate direction).
It means kill streaks are not kept up not because you found body armor or an overpowered energy sword. Instead, they're kept up by using the intel you gather from felled enemies wisely. You shouldn't waste it all on an air strike or explosive rounds. You could use it to find your enemy, then switch to adrenaline and jump over the barrier he's cowering behind to fight him head on.
Above: Multiplayer maps can be vetoed by the majority, just like in CoD. But they're all decent
The destructible environments really come into their own in multiplayer, perhaps due to human behaviour that makes destroying a foe's last vestige of shelter so damn satisfying. Seeing someone turn and run is a wonderful power trip… as is hearing a distant explosion as some hapless individual steps on the landmines you laid several minutes ago. And at last, the 'I shot him a million times and he didn't die' whining can stop. He was using adrenaline, OK? Done.
Above: Standing out in the open like this is a very bad idea. But where can you hide?
While the shouts from the rebels that announced their presence in single-player is off-putting when you know there's no-one else around, the dip in ambient sound while someone speaks over voice chat is particularly slick. In fact, the fluidity of the overall experience is very close to the single-player game. There's perhaps a little more draw-in than during offline play, but it's solid and (pre-release) commendably lag-free. We'll see how the servers hold up when it's out.
Surprisingly for a shooter that's so perfect for party play, there's no offline multiplayer at all – you have to be connected to Xbox Live to get into a match with your mates. However, co-op is at least its own mode and not another retread of the single-player campaign.
This mode sees you facing waves of enemy attack, which plays really well (I went into more depth of this mode here if you want to learn its ins and outs). With the level of destruction and challenge just as strong as the single-player, I can see a lot of people enjoying this, but it's hardly CoD Zombies.
While I wouldn't say I enjoyed Bodycount as much as the equally short-lived Vanquish, Bodycount has really succeeded in making the process of shooting things fun again. There's so much action, it's impossible not to have fun with this game. Words can't really describe how chaotic and explosive it is, so I've made a short video to illustrate a typical section of gameplay:
There's always a sense of danger and the horror of realising the cover you've taken refuge behind is about as much use as an ice cream wafer against the barrage of shells heading towards you is genuinely exhilarating. And, while those restart points are annoying, as with Tomb Raider, the knowledge that death is going to undo a lot of progress does make you value your virtual life.
I don't think there's anything bad I could say of the gameplay, except perhaps that no cover is ever truly safe, as even solid rock can have a grenade chucked behind it. It is 'samey' if you consider you just shoot bad guys from start to finish, but that's what the game was designed to be. It's a shooting game you can just pick up and enjoy. It does that exceedingly well.
The grenades are fun, the mines are fun...
Above: Try not to giggle like a naughty schoolboy when you place mines everywhere
...the little electronic noise that sounds when you pick up intel is cute and the later weapons are ludicrously satisfying (even if they do take that age to reload). It's challenging, good-looking, technically accomplished and designed with the player's freedom in mind. And little touches like shot sounds changing with more electronic bloops as you near the end of your clip as an audio cue to reload are clever.
So it's not the gameplay that I take exception to at all. In fact, it's the game's sheer enjoyment factor that's saved this from a kicking. I really got into Bodycount because it lets you approach it in so many different ways - and makes you feel clever while you're at it.
But there's no denying, aside from the enjoyable and well-weighted multiplayer, pretty much everything around that core experience of destroying things with big weapons is flaky. Big time flaky. But thankfully, happiness really is a warm gun, even if it is on the 50th respawn before that damn warehouse.

Proposed bus service changes by the Metropolitan Transportation Authority for routes in Howard Beach and Lindenwood, thefts of automobile wheels and vandalism to cars were among the topics discussed at the Monday evening meeting of the Lindenwood Alliance held at the Rockwood Park Jewish Center in Howard Beach.
Joann Ariola, co-president of the Alliance, told the audience that starting on Sunday, July 1, there will be modifications to the routes of the Q11, Q21 and Q41.
She said that commuters from Lindenwood traveling south to Rockaway will now be required to transfer from the Q21 at 163rd Avenue and 92nd Street to the new Q52 limited route.
Under these changes, the Q21 will only go as far south as 164th Avenue and 92nd Street in Howard Beach. Northbound bus service will not be affected, according to the MTA.
"The bus stops remain the same here in Lindenwood," said Ariola.
Capt. Thomas Pascale, commanding officer of the 106th Precinct, was on hand to address residents' concerns.
Lindenwood resident Marie Marotta, who lives near 151st Avenue, said that her wheels were recently stolen from her 2011 Honda.
"I put new wheels on and they came back again," said Marotta, who reported it to the police.
She said that other residents told her that their wheels were also stolen, but they never reported the theft to the police.
"They didn't have the time," Marotta said the neighbors told her.
Pascale said the thieves seem to be zeroing in on Maximas, Accords and Camrys in Howard Beach, Old Howard Beach and Lindenwood. He added that the thefts are occurring around 4 a.m., usually on rainy nights.
The captain said the police are aware of the problem and are putting resources into the areas.
"We are addressing it," Pascale said.
Discussing vandalism to cars and the thefts of GPS systems from the vehicles in the Lindenwood area, Pascale said they had arrested the individual they believed to be responsible and that the suspect is currently being held in jail in lieu of $10,000 bail.
Joe, a Lindenwood resident, who declined to give his last name, told Pascale that he was concerned about motorists racing through stop signs in the community, particularly on 84th Street.
"Stop signs are worthless; it makes no sense," he said. Pascale assured Joe that he would look into the situation.
Nina DeBlasio of Howard Beach commended the captain for his efforts in getting the additional 15 officers who have recently been assigned to the 106th Precinct.
"While I applaud the elected officials for helping out, believe me, it's through his hard work that the cops are coming into the precinct," DeBlasio said.
The next meeting of the Lindenwood Alliance will be held on Monday, June 11 at 7:30 p.m. at the Rockwood Park Jewish Center in Howard Beach.

Welcome to "One Canon Park"
The opening of the Canon Americas headquarters in Melville, N.Y., in February 2013 capped a long journey for Canon U.S.A., which for many years had been searching for a place on Long Island that would be a suitable location to establish a new home.
Located off the Long Island Expressway and near the technology corridor of Route 110, the headquarters features modern amenities and a 52-acre campus.
Measuring more than 500 feet long and nearly 300 feet wide, the building reflects Canon's strong commitment to environmental sustainability. "One Canon Park" has been awarded LEED®Gold certification, a recognition for the design, construction, operations and maintenance of high-performance green buildings. The facility stands as a model for environmental stewardship and innovation, and is the largest commercial property on Long Island to achieve this level of LEED.
The grounds have an open, campus-like feel with plenty of green space, a walking trail and two retention ponds. Within the five-story building (plus lower level), employees enjoy a state-of-the-art learning center, cafeteria, fitness center and other amenities.
As always, Canon aims to be a good corporate citizen within the community and will continue fostering relationships in the surrounding area.

U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan issued the following statement today, recognizing Public Service Recognition Week, May 5–11, 2013.
"I am proud to honor the public servants who tirelessly serve our country. From my experiences working with these talented individuals inside the classroom, down the hall and throughout our communities, I know first-hand that public servants dedicate their lives, and sometimes risk their lives, for the good of the country – often without asking for much in return. As the events in recent months have reminded us, public service workers help to protect our children, families, and communities. Whether you serve in the federal, state, county, or local government, I'd like to take this opportunity to say thank you."
