East St. Louis Councilwoman & Boyfriend Charged in Beating of Elderly Best Buy Employee
An East St. Louis councilwoman and her boyfriend were charged for beating an elderly employee at Best Buy this week.
Councilwoman LaToya Greenwood – City of East St. Louis
KMOX reported:
It's considered normal procedure by most to be asked for your receipt while leaving a busy store like Best Buy with expensive items. But Latoya Greenwood, 38, didn't take kindly to the request.
Police say she began shouting obscenities at the 61-year-old Fairview Heights Best Buy employee at the exit door. Her husband got into the act and smacked the man across the face, sending him down to the ground while his wife didn't flinch and kept the curse words flying.
The husband, 39-year-old Hickey Thompson, is charged with felony aggravated battery and is held on $20,000 bond. Greenwood is charged with disorderly conduct.
The Belleville News Democrat has more on the cheery couple: more

LaToya. Why do they always have to be named LaToya?+6
My first thought of this story was the fact that Best Buy had an "elderly" person working there. 35 is "elderly" for the Best Buy stores here.+4

EU puts costs of Cyprus reunification at 2bn euro
15.04.04 @ 17:26
BRUSSELS - Two billion euro over a period of five years will be needed from the international community to implement the UN plan for the reunification of Cyprus, the EU said on Thursday (15 April).
The European Commission estimates that 962 to 1,082 million euro will be needed between 2004-2009 for housing needs - such as for Greek Cypriots moving back to the north and relocation assistance for Turkish Cypriots.
On top of this, 759 to 839 million euro will be needed for other areas like infrastructure and job creation.
The international community is "prepared to help Cyprus to carry the costs of reunification", enlargement Commissioner Günter Verheugen said after the morning session of a preparatory donor's conference, attended by representatives from 34 countries.
The US has already pledged 400 million dollars to help in the island's reconstruction.
However, this financial aid from the international community will only be made available if both Cypriot communities vote "yes" in a referendum to the UN plan to reunite the island on 24 April.
Opinion polls suggest that the majority of Greek Cypriots will vote "no" in the referendum, while the northern Turkish Cypriots are likely to accept the plan.
Mr Verheugen said that the whole international community supports the UN plan and is strongly urging both Cypriot communities not to waste this "unique opportunity".
He warned that if there is no solution to the island's division before the end of this month, "there will be no solution for a very long time", and that if the UN plan is rejected, "the situation will change not for the better".
But the Commissioner said if Greek Cypriots vote "no" in this month's referendum, the European Commission would "guarantee that Turkish Cypriots will not be punished", and it would make proposals to overcome their economic situation.
On Wednesday, Turkish Prime Minister Mehmet Ali Talat said it would be unfair if the Turkish part of the island were to still be isolated if the Greek side rejects the plan.

CCG Automation, Inc. is a solution-based building automation provider focused on high quality, comfortable buildings with low energy consumption and easy to use systems. CCG's approach to focusing on the total cost of ownership over the life of the building rather than first cost allows customers to afford their utility bills from the completion of the project throughout the life of the building.
An all too common scenario that CCG encounters are the brand new buildings that have higher than normal utility bills because the budget to build the building only allowed for the lowest price rather than looking at the contractor with the lowest total cost of ownership over the life of the building. Sadly, this largely neglected and foreign notion in the construction of new buildings today results in unhappy building owners unable to afford their utility bills. If you cannot afford your utility bills, are looking to build a new building, or simply looking to replace your building automation system…don't look any further, CCG Automation is your solution.
In Memory of Timothy Mosley
On June 28, 2014, CCG lost a great friend and customer. Tim Mosley, the facilities manager for UH-Parma Medical Center passed away suddenly at this home. Tim brought CCG into Parma Hospital over 17 years ago and he has been a friend of Brian Wagner's for over 22 years. Tim was our biggest fan. He constantly spoke highly of our people and services to others in the industry. We could always count on Tim to regularly call and, in his own funny way, provide relief from the stress of the day.
In honor of Tim, CCG started The Tim Mosley Memorial Fund through the Parma Hospital Healthcare Foundation. The earnings from the funds will be used to help the patients Tim spent his life supporting. To donate, please send a check to The Tim Mosley Memorial Fund c/o Parma Hospital Healthcare Foundation, 7007 Powers Blvd., Parma, OH 44129.
Tim is already missed by all of us at CCG. Visiting UH-Parma Medical Center will never be the same.

The first time I laid eyes and fresh ears on Krallice was in a conceptual artist's oversized studio, framed by boxes of wire and sticky with someone else's blood. It was a rainy night in Queens. The Manhattan skyline stood slick and weary in the humid air, and the Hudson slithered by as languidly as a sated python. As summer light died away sweetly and darkness stole quietly into its place, the scent of burning flesh wafted by. A skinny man in a leather jacket brushed past me, and a woman in yellow tip-toed behind him. It was July in the year 2008, and with Dagon in tow, Inquisition had brought their occult black rituals to New York. An intriguing new band from the outer boroughs was slated to open the proceedings. A massive art space nestled on the banks of the river had been called into duty, and an unlikely mélange of leather jackets, cheap beer, silver necklaces and ballerina flats populated this alien slice of the city. Flanked by an upscale restaurant and a loading dock, the "venue" seemed as out of place there as its temporary residents, and no one was quite certain of what to expect. As longhairs and curious passersby gnawed bones and snuck swigs from carefully stowed bottles, a great rumbling came from inside the warehouse's cavernous depths – a harbinger of things to come. As bodies trickled in, four men fiddled with instruments and twiddled knobs, preparing. And then – it began.
The juxtaposition of corpse paint, bemused and be-V-necked voyeurs, and a severed pig's head lent an air of surrealism to that arresting, monumentally cathartic performance that that young band with the strange name and even stranger aesthetic had chosen to unleash. Whether or not we realized it then, Krallice had arrived.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

text: I was very happy to see http://www.sonatype.com/Products/Sonatype-Insight/Why-Insight/Reduce-Security-Risk/Security-Brief. Finally some attention to the elephant in the room; what is the use of secure coding if your software depends on third party components with flaws? The paper makes some very good points on the general lack of governance for open source components. It mainly focuses on the lack of visibility and control of project dependencies. I.e. what does a build pull in? Are these trustworthy components? Does the build select component versions with flaws? Is any attention paid to security advisories and dependencies updated to versions with the flaws fixed? These points are important. However, I am also concerned about component distribution. How can I be sure that the binary component my build script retrieves from, say, Maven Central is the one released by the relevant open source project? I know there are checksums and such, but I remain to be convinced that this typically affords adequate protection or that it even could do so. If my fears are well-founded, current distribution mechanisms of open source components provide the ideal opportunity for installing back-doors on the server side. I hope I am just being paranoid and the authors neglected to talk about distribution because it is obviously secure. I certainly would have been happier if distribution had been analysed and found secure, or, even, not terribly insecure. Does anyone else share these concerns? Or can anyone allay my fears? kr, Yo -- Johan Peeters http://johanpeeters.com

Inouye to be honored with Medal of Freedom
Updated On: Aug 08 2013 12:54:39 PM HST
The late Sen. Daniel Inouye of Hawaii is one of 16 people President Barack Obama will honor later this year with the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
The White House announced the list Thursday.
Inouye is among musicians, scientists, activists to receive the honor.
Others include former President Bill Clinton, former Washington Post editor Ben Bradlee, women's rights activist Gloria Steinem, country music legend Loretta Lynn and broadcaster Oprah Winfrey.
Three including Inouye are receiving the award posthumously. The two others are astronaut Sally Ride and civil rights activist Bayard Rustin.
The president decides on the list of medal recipients after reviewing an advisory board's recommendations of individuals who have contributed to America's cultural, security and other public interests.
The Presidential Medal of Freedom is the nation's highest civilian honor. President John F. Kennedy created the medal of freedom in an executive order signed 50 years ago. The White House says more than 500 people have been honored.

Eau Claire, WI 54702-4004
George Maurer to Perform
July 6 at UW-Eau Claire
(715) 836-4741
(715) 836-2900
MAILED: June 24, 1998
EAU CLAIRE Jazz pianist George Maurer will open the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire's Summer Session Programs for the week of July 6.
The free outdoor concert will run from 7 to 9 p.m. Monday on the Central Campus Mall (rain: Schofield Auditorium). Refreshments will be sold. Audience members are invited to bring blankets or folding chairs for lawn seating.
A George Maurer concert is an experience in foot-stomping, piano-pounding ragtime, reflective piano solos, and rock 'n' roll parodies. A 1997 nominee for the National Association for Campus Activities' Jazz Artist of the Year award, Maurer has performed hundreds of concerts across the United States from St. Paul's World Theater, home of "A Prairie Home Companion," to the White House and the United Nations. Originally from Sun Prairie, Wis., he is now called "Minnesota's premier new-age/jazz pianist" (KARE TV, Minneapolis).
These free Summer Session Programs also are on campus during the week of July 6:
"Angels with Dirty Faces" (1938) will screen at noon and 7 p.m. Tuesday in Davies Theatre. Michael Curtiz's tough, entertaining social drama stars James Cagney and Pat O'Brien (1899-1983, born in Milwaukee, Wis.) as two childhood friends. Although their roots are the same neighborhood, chance takes their lives in different directions: one becomes a celebrated criminal, the other becomes a priest. Humphrey Bogart, Ann Sheridan and the Dead End Kids co-star in the 97-minute classic, which will screen via video projection.
The Jazz at Noon series will continue at noon on Wednesday the Central Campus Mall (rain: The Cabin, Davies Center). Refreshments will be sold.
"The Servant," a 1963 British film directed by Joseph Losey (1909-1984, born in La Crosse, Wis.), will be presented at noon and 7 p.m. Thursday in Davies Theatre. The first major American director to settle in England in the wake of the McCarthy era, Losey gained international stature with this sardonic film about the impermanence of power. James Fox stars as a young upper-class Englishman who hires a manservant (Dirk Bogarde), and becomes hopelessly dependent upon him. Scripted by Harold Pinter, the 115-minute film co-stars Sarah Miles.
Spotlighting the artists and personalities of the state as part of the Wisconsin Sesquicentennial, the Summer Session Programs series continues through Aug. 6. A complete schedule is available from the Activities and Programs Office, Davies Center 133, (715) 836-4833.

Description: Trent Reznor has always been a one-trick-pony, but it's a damn good trick: sunny melodies filtered through ferocious electronics. Unfortunately, the trick's impact was often watered down by a tendency toward petulance and self-absorption. Still, almost six years after NIN's last release, The Fragile, the trick itself has lost none of ... (more)

Signing of Gonzalo Segares to long-term deal keeps Fire's back line intact
BY SETH GRUEN For Sun-Times Media December 6, 2012 7:39PM
TORONTO, CANADA - SEPTEMBER 12: Gonzalo Segares #13 of the Chicago Fire moves the ball against Toronto FC during MLS action at the BMO Field September 12, 2012 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. (Photo by Abelimages/Getty Images)
Updated: December 6, 2012 10:05PM
The Fire made clear this offseason that its first priority was to keep intact a defensive unit that was instrumental in its success last season.
The team announced Thursday it had accomplished that goal when it signed left back Gonzalo Segares to a multiyear deal. The move came three days after the club had declined a team option on Segares for the 2013 season, allowing the Fire to negotiate this long-term extension.
The Segares deal — coupled with the re-signing of center back Arne Friedrich in November to a one-year deal — guarantees that the Fire will return its starting defenders from a year ago. Center back Austin Berry and outside back Jalil Anibaba are under contract.
The back four, along with goalie Sean Johnson, allowed 41 goals last season, which was second-best in the Eastern Conference.
"I'm very happy to continue on as a Fire player," Segares said in a team statement. "Chicago is my second home and the Fire have been a big part of my life for a long time. I look forward to more success with the club in the future."
Segares, a Costa Rican international, has played all eight of his MLS seasons with the Fire.
Last season, Segares started in all 31 matches in which he appeared and tallied three goals and one assist. He has played in 207 matches for the Fire and is only the seventh player in franchise history to have played in at least 200 matches.
"We're pleased that Gonzalo will remain a member of the club," Fire President of Soccer Operations Javier Leon said in a team statement. "He has been a tremendous asset to the Fire back line for nearly a decade and has been key to our defensive stability."

Thailand's new cabinet is set to be sworn into office after the candidates were endorsed by King Bhumibol Adulyadej on Saturday.
Abhisit Vejjajiva, the country's third prime minister in four months, will lead his team to be sworn in on Monday, but even before they are officially inaugurated, Abhisit has already drawn criticism for his choices for several of the leading posts.
While the business community cheered the choice of Korn Chatikavanij, a former investment banker, as finance minister, other choices, such as Kasit Piromya as foreign minister, were criticised.
Kasit, a former ambassador to the United States, gave prominent support to the so-called People's Alliance for Democracy (PAD) street campaign that occupied Government House for three months and Bangkok's main airports for over a week.
His appointment has raised questions about Abhisit's commitment to reaching out to supporters of Thaksin Shinawatra, the former prime minister ousted in a 2006 coup and now convicted of corruption and living in exile but still popular among the rural masses.
Controversial choice
Abhisit pledged in his inaugural address to restore Thailand's tourist-friendly image, damaged by six months of political turmoil that culminated in an eight-day siege of Bangkok's airports late last month that stranded more than 300,000 travellers.
The 44-year-old's elevation to the prime minister's post came after a court dissolved the People Power party leading the previous government, which was packed with Thaksin's allies.
Korn, also 44, is a respected economist and former investment banker who headed Thailand's office of JP Morgan Chase & Co from 1999-2004.
But Kasit, 64, is a controversial choice.
The former ambassador to Japan, Germany, Indonesia and the former Soviet Union appeared several times as a guest speaker at the months-long protests led by the PAD.
He even praised the November 29-December 3 airport blockade as a "new innovation for public protests".
Another Abhisit pick has been linked to corruption.
The Democrat party's secretary-general Suthep Thaugsuban, 59, was appointed deputy prime minister to oversee security matters.
Suthep was accused in 1995 of distributing plots of land allotted for agricultural use by the poor to his cronies. The scandal brought down the administration of the then prime minister, Chuan Leekpai, a Democrat.
Chavarat Charnvirakul, 72, a former Thaksin supporter who defected to the Democrats, was rewarded with the interior minister's portfolio.
Chavarat was a deputy prime minister in the previous administration led by Thaksin's brother-in-law, Somchai Wongsawat.

Claire Diterzi
Country of origin:
Type of music generally:
Beautiful and fierce experimental, evocative/eclectic pop
Most recent release, Le Salon des Refusées (2013)
See also:
Claire Diterzi's site
She is unique, but the best description I can come up with is a darker Kate Bush
Covers/own material:
Mostly own; occasional covers and co-writing
General comments:
Claire Diterzi's music feels like a force of nature: stormy, complicated, unique and yet universal. She can be experimental, but also traditional. She's not afraid of wild, rough edges or of softness, though the edgy and tougher side does predominate. Her music is a brilliant mix of Kate Bush inventiveness, a little Middle Eastern influence, a touch of Kym Brown. Really, just wonderful, energetic, creative music and interesting vocals and a confidence with experimenting that really won me over. Highly, highly recommended, and a must-listen for anyone interested in Kate Bush-like creativity. (Neile)

"Boucle" translates as loop, or buckle. This is an amazing and powerful album, complex and gorgeous. Claire Diterzi alternatively wails and croons. Highly effective and affecting. (Neile)

This is the soundtrack for Anne Feinsilber's movie. Dreamy, dark, twangy, and western. Includes a husky, whispered cover of Dylan's "Knocking on Heaven's Door," three tracks with spoken word by Kris Kristofferson, and a lot of strange, haunting vocalizations and whistling over instrumental lines. If you like odd soundtracks you should give this one a try. (Neile)

This is an album composed for a production based on the life of the socialist activist and heroine Rosa Luxembourg, who was assassinated in 1918. This is a passionate, powerful tribute and not at all the usual nostalgic vision of other tributes. It's now up there with my other favourite musical exploration of a woman's life, Veda Hille's Here is a picture (Songs for E Carr). Like all the other Claire Diterzi albums I've heard, it's ambitious, offbeat, provocative, sometimes uncomfortable, but overall delightful listening. (Neile)

It's no secret that credit cards can get consumers into trouble. Spend more than you're allowed, get hit with exorbitant fees. Miss a payment, see your interest rates shoot through the roof. Pay the minimum payment every month, and it could take a lifetime to get rid of the entire balance.
There is some good news, however. The Credit Card Accountability and Disclosure Act of 2009 (CARD Act) offers protections for consumers, eliminating many of the shadier practices that credit card companies had used to squeeze as much money as possible out of you.
Still, to the surprise of few, these companies quickly found loopholes and added conditions in fine print to ensure their money keeps coming in.
So what does this mean for you, the consumer? Here are some implications of the new law, as well as a few things the credit card companies have done in an attempt to counter the CARD Act (our thanks to Consumer Reports? ShopSmart magazine and Bankrate.com):
First, the good news. Here are protections offered to consumers:
No longer will credit-card companies be able to raise interest rates on an existing balance. They can raise your rates on new balances if you signed up for a promotional interest rate and it expired, if you have a variable rate card, or if you are more than 60 days late in making your minimum payment. In that last case, the bank has to reinstate the lower rate after six consecutive months of on-time payments. Further, rates cannot be raised during the first year of an account, and customers must receive at least 45 days? notice before rates are increased.
Varying due dates have been eliminated. Credit-card issuers are barred from switching the day your payment is due from month to month. As long as your bank receives your payment by 5 p.m. on that day, it is considered on-time.
No more fees on purchases that exceed your credit limit. Customers will not face "over-limit" fees unless they allow the credit card company to approve transactions that surpass their pre-approved limit. Card issuers also cannot charge more than one of these fees per billing cycle. (Note: Team Fixer doesn?t recommend OKing these over-limit transactions!)
Unfortunately, though, with every protection the new law bestows upon the consumer, the credit card companies seem to have found another money stream. As ShopSmart put it, here are the "gotchas" the companies are using:
There is no limit on interest rates. Essentially, the credit card companies can charge whatever rates they want because there is no cap. And though they must give the aforementioned 45 days' notice before raising (or lowering) your rate, the companies can raise them at any time for any reason after the first year. Also, the increase applies to everything you buy starting 14 days after the notice to change your rate is sent out.
Increased minimum payments. We do recommend paying more than just the minimum every month, but creditors are now allowed to make your minimum payment high enough so that you are paying off your balance in five years. And as long as the companies don?t raise your interest rate, they can raise your minimum payment to any level.
Your account can now be closed without notice at any time. Make sure you keep up with the rules of the contract that govern your card --- and try to stay on the companies' good side.
More hidden fees. These include fees to receive paper statements (as opposed to electronic statements via e-mail or the company's Web site) and higher fees on overseas and other foreign transactions, cash advances and balance transfers.

Final Score: (25) Marquette 63, South Florida 50
Milwaukee, WI (Sports Network) - Behind a career-high 30 points from Vander Blue, the 25th-ranked Marquette Golden Eagles took down the South Florida Bulls, 63-50, in a Big East bout at the Bradley Center.
Blue shot 13-of-20 from the field for Marquette (15-4, 6-1 Big East), which extended its home winning streak to 21 games and is now tied atop the Big East standings with Syracuse. Trent Lockett added 10 points and eight rebounds for the Golden Eagles, while Junior Cadougan handed out six assists.
"I know what I can do," Blue said of his breakout game. "I've been playing basketball for a long time. I've played against the best competition pretty much my whole life. I just knew my time was coming."
JaVontae Hawkins scored 14 points to lead USF (10-10, 1-7), which has lost three straight a seven of eight. Victor Rudd chipped in 13 points and four steals, while Zach LeDay tallied 10 points and seven rebounds.
"We were missing a lot of shots and not shooting well," South Florida coach Stan Heath said. "The counter of that was they got too many transition baskets and out hustled us down the floor. And Blue really took advantage of that."
Marquette led the game 10-3 less than four minutes in, but USF responded with a 17-7 run to take a 20-17 lead on a LeDay 3-pointer at the 7:25 mark. The Golden Eagles closed out the half on a high note however, and they went into intermission with a 28-24 advantage.
Blue took control after the break with 21 of his 30 points, as the Golden Eagles led by double-digits for most of the second half.
Game Notes
Marquette shot 55.1 percent from the field but just 2-of-15 from 3-point range ... USF made only 15-of-55 attempts from the field (.273) ... The Golden Eagles dominated the Bulls in the paint, 38-14 ... Marquette has won 18 of the 21 all-time meetings between the two programs.

Captain Fred McCall, founder of the Bowness Flying Field, June 1919
Calgary Herald, June 30, 1919
I'm always learning new things at the heritage events I attend. What I learned recently was that Calgary's first commercial airfield was actually in Bowness, started by Fred McCall, a former RAF pilot on fallow land near the Calgary Electric Railway tracks just after the end of the First World War. According to Bernd Martens, writing in the Bowness history book Our Village in the Valley, "the airplane hangars associated with the Bowness Flying Field were located just east of present-day Bowness Road. The runway extended eastward in a large empty block of farmer's field, likely between the present 47 Avenue and 44 Avenue and eastward to the present high school field."
The Bowness Aerodrome (as it was sometimes called, a rather lofty name for a farmer's field) saw its first flight in May 1919 when Frank Donnelly flew his Curtiss from Bowness to the HBC company building in downtown Calgary to drop streamers advertising the company's 249th birthday. "1670 – A Message From Mars – 1919" was what the streamers read. "Calgary celebrates the greatest event of the year, the 249th birthday of the Hudson's Bay Company. So unusual are the values that we've chosen an unusual way to tell of them….Keep this streamer as a memento of the first literature ever dropped in Calgary from an aeroplane." Tappy Frost was one of the first to get his streamer, chasing it down in his little Ford car and clambering up on a roof when the elusive little thing tried to hide from him.
Power was taken from the electric railway lines to service the hangar but there were no runway lights so when Capt. McCall was flying at night, he would buzz his house so his wife would know to bring the car to light the runway with its headlamps. Car lights provided illumination for the landing of Capt. Ernest C. Hoy from Vancouver, the first flight over the Canadian Rockies, which touched down in Bowness on August 7, 1919.
The Bowness Flying Field was also the place from which the plane carrying W.J. (Bill) Oliver, Calgary Herald photographer, took off. Oliver would take the first air photos of the city which were published in the Herald. Below is the photo published in the June 30, 1919 edition:

The program begins with a two-day orientation that introduces you to the IES Abroad Dublin staff, your fellow students, and the city of Dublin. Topics such as academics, housing, transportation, and health and safety are covered during this time.
Additionally, CORE™, IES Abroad's Comprehensive Orientation & Re-entry Experience, begins during orientation and continues throughout the semester with activities focusing on cultural adjustment, goal achievement, and preparing for the return home.

As Richard Rose Debuts, WLNY Making Long Island Headway at Nine
To say that WCBS/WLNY "got the message" might be too strong, but we are seeing some positive signs for a Long Island presence.
First, WCBS, which completed its purchase of independent WLNY (TV 10/55) in April, has finally added the only pre-acquisition holdover.
Richard Rose is reporting from the WCBS/WLNY Long Island bureau, a revamped, HD facility to WLNY's former Melville location. Rose delivers a Long Island business segment each night on the News at 9, anchored by Chris Wragge and Dana Tyler.
FishbowlNY previously argued that WLNY, especially its new prime time newscast, needed a larger Long Island focus, given that the FCC has the license based in Riverhead. At the time, a spokesperson said Rose's delay was because the studio was not ready. However during that time, Rose did not report from the CBS studios on West 57th where the broadcast originated, nor did he hit the road within the Island to find stories.
Now Rose and the new studio are in place. The spokesperson says Rose joined the News at 9 on July 30, one week after our "review." His contribution is included in the second half of the newscast.

AT&T's Anti Texting While Driving PSA Will Make You Cry (The One)
In March 2010, AT&T launched a campaign called 'Texting Can Wait', aimed at educating the public about how dangerous it is to text while you're driving.
As part of that campaign, they released a short film cum PSA called 'The Last Text' earlier this month that documents the stories of individuals whose lives have been forever changed because of texting behind the wheel.
It's heartbreaking to see the way that something as simple as a text asking "where r u?" has destroyed these people's lives, but it's also an important reminder that this technology we love so much can impact something beyond your running commentary on your high score in Angry Birds.

This could just as easily be called The Last Mascara or The Last Breakfast Sandwich. And the cop that starts the show, if he's equipped normally, has a laptop he's running plates on constantly while driving.
Any distraction can cause an accident. Our driving fatality rates are the lowest in history, and having laws based on an activity rather than the quality of driving just leads to more reasons you can be pulled over, it doesn't increase the quality of driving. It does not reduce deaths (http://www.google.com/search?q=texting+laws+decrease+accidents). If you're driving poorly you can already be pulled over, and many people, such as police and others can and do multitask safely daily. Is it ideal? No. Will it change? No.
The laws just mean the person has their eyes at the floor of the car while they're texting, instead of maybe holding it on the steering wheel where you can see the road. I doubt too many people will agree, but the laws make inevitable texting even less safe.
No more unnecessary laws, and no more tearjerker anecdotal reasons for more laws that make an unsafe practice even less safe.
By smi04
I did not see anything about introducing new laws in the video. If more films like his got the message across, no new laws would need to be introduced. One could say the creators and yourself want to see the same thing.
"The laws just mean the person has their eyes at the floor of the car while they're texting, instead of maybe holding it on the steering wheel where you can see the road. I doubt too many people will agree, but the laws make inevitable texting even less safe."
This though is completely idiotic; watch the security footage of the driver in the film holding the phone on the wheel. It makes no difference at all.
By Jimmy D
Yeah, nice try, Morgan... But your troll-fu is weak. So just because other things cause accidents too we shouldn't even try to make things better. Brilliant logic. The whole "it's inevitable so why bother" mentality is a losing argument. It's also bloody transparent that you're just fighting for your own "right" to text & drive dangerously....
"If you're driving poorly you can already be pulled over, and many people, such as police and others can and do multitask safely daily."
Wait. Let me guess. You just happen to be one of those people. Wow! Maybe I can get your autograph or something one of these days.
By Teresa Breen
I am first of all very grateful for AT&T doing this but for some reason they did not show our son's portion that we taped but maybe they will. His last text was "Yeah T" and has been airing on tv. Our son was 23, a United States Marine, father and brother and yes knew better then to text and drive but for some reason on March 15, 2009 he did and paid the price... Our son was home getting paperwork in line for his then 2 year old daughter before his deployment when this happened. Not 24 hours before his accident my husband told our son "Put that phone down, it is taking over your life" and then we recieved "That" phone call at 9:22 p.m. that NO parent ever wants to receive... I speak every chance I get about this and the last thing I ask people, Look at your last text and tell me, is it really worth dying over or killing someone else?? Thank you for your time...

By putt4par
Glad these videos are out there....but you have to wonder how much good they are doing. Statistics show that drivers 16-25 are much more likely to have accidents regardless of the reason - less experience, distracted driving, etc. Making new laws to prohibit texting or using a phone while driving don't do much if anything to keep everyone else safe on the road. They just enacted a no texting and hands free only law in my state, and I see more people than ever during my daily commute texting and using their cell phone. Eating while driving, having a van full of kids, having the radio turned up and jamming to your favorite song - these distractions are just as bad theoretically as texting while driving, yet they are still "allowed." The key factor is driver age and experience - period. I'm not saying texting while driving SHOULD be allowed - just don't portray this as the be all to end all (local, state and federal gov't)

SAN – Senseless Advocates of Nigeria?
In a recent feel good news credited to Mr. Olusegun Obasanjo, president 99-07, about corruption in Nigeria, couple that with the array of Nigeria legal class made up of legal practitioners and the judiciary, it's mere toothless bull dogs.
To crown the clowns of Nigeria legal practitioners, a dubious class dubbed SAN – Senior Advocates of Nigeria, ruinously and ridiculously known as – SENSELESS ADVOCATES OF NIGERIA, make nonsense of Nigeria laws. If not, how come it took a British court to indict, try and convict former Delta State Governor Ibori and now a US court is following an order to confiscate what Ibori stashed in US.
As Nigerian lawyers go around with laughable salutation of 'Learned Colleague', it is no wonder there is hardly collateral substance in what laws they defend or fight to uphold. They are fair weather lawyers: Anything goes sort of practitioners. They neither understand how laws help a society migrate to higher plane nor enforcement of prosecution/defense of laws to create and enable/enhance stability, deterrent, fairness and equity.
It is a national shame that in 21st century, Nigerians are busy displaying dances and songs in the square while others deploy their resources from remote locations to help create and make sense in a senseless society. What would it have taken for a group of defiant Nigerian lawyers to bring class action law suits against errant public officials as 'Friends of the Country', and fight as public defenders of trust to promote probity? Instead, the clamor for legal title is the same as in non legal civil society, consumes their energy. The practice of law should not be based on seniority and or title.
SAN is a dubious title that unduly rewards those that possess it. I have witnessed court proceedings in Nigeria, and it is a joke to see how even a Judge defers to a SAN and stand up to offer their salutation. The privileges extended to SAN is like one accorded a King of the Court. How can justice be dispensed when title and seniority are accorded undue advantage as opposed to judicial procedures and rule of evidence?
The Nigerian Legal Council, assuming there is such a thing, ought to reject SAN designation and if possible by doing away with such. Since SAN holders are same people that take village titles and crave for all others to shore up their profile, maybe it should be awarded to those who will not appear in court. It should be for legal scholars devoted to fighting for legal issues dealing with Nigeria and not to defend any particular litigant. SAN should be seen as a crowing of legal status and given to those whose character and conduct pass commoners test. Some of the SAN are dubious and exploit advantages such confers on them.
To many, they are basically: Senseless Advocates of Nigeria while they pretend to be Senior Advocates of Nigeria. Go Figure!
U.S court orders seizure of Ibori's assets
The United States Department of Justice has secured a restraining order on the assets of former Delta State governor, James Ibori. The assets in question include more than $3 million looted funds and a mansion in Houston, Texas, U.S. The former governor is currently serving a 13-year jail term in the United Kingdom for corruption and money laundering. He was convicted and sentenced by a British court on April 18.
The department got the powers through an application filed under seal on May 16 in U.S District Court in the District of Columbia, to register and enforce two orders from United Kingdom courts against more than $3 million in corruption proceeds related to Ibori. The Assistant Attorney General Lanny A. Breuer of the Justice Department's Criminal Division and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Director, John Morton, disclosed this in a statement on the U.S Justice Department website on Tuesday.
"The application seeks to restrain assets and other proceeds of corruption belonging to Ibori and Bhadresh Gohil, Ibori's former English solicitor. "Specifically, it seeks to restrain a mansion in Houston and two Merrill Lynch brokerage accounts. U.S. District Judge Lamberth granted the application and issued a restraining order under seal on May 21. "The department was notified today that its application to unseal the restraining order was granted.
"The United States is working with the United Kingdom's Crown Prosecution Service and the Metropolitan Police Service to forfeit these corruption proceeds," the statement said. According to the application, Ibori served as the governor of Nigeria's oil-rich Delta State from 1999 to 2007, and misappropriated millions of dollars in Delta State funds.
He laundered those proceeds through a myriad of companies, intermediaries and nominees in several jurisdictions, including the UK, with the help of Gohil. Although Nigeria's Constitution prohibits state governors from maintaining foreign bank accounts and serving as directors of private companies, Ibori and his associates accumulated millions of dollars in assets in the UK and U.S, according to the application.
Gohil was also convicted in November 2010 of money laundering and prejudicing a money laundering investigation and was sentenced by a British court to 10 years in prison. "Instead of working to benefit the people of the Niger Delta, Ibori pilfered state funds and accumulated immense wealth in the process," said Assistant Attorney General Breuer.
"He conspired with Mr. Gohil to funnel millions of dollars in corruption proceeds out of Nigeria and into bank accounts and assets maintained in the names of shell companies and nominees," he added.

Web Design
Whether you're looking to promote your existing brand with an online presence or create a new online shopping experience we're here to help. Talk to our web designers at our Scunthorpe studio and see what we can do for you!
Brochure website design
Are you looking for a way of marketing your brand on the web? We have designed and developed brochure websites for a variety of companies such as TJ's Coaches based in Brigg, Kapil Care Homes in Scunthorpe and British Garden Centres based all over the country and have 7 websites with us.
Despite the different sizes, all are treated with equal importance as the quality is reflected on us.
"We had been looking to update our website for some time, so after sitting down with Jonathan and reviewing what we were looking for, the team at Urban Feather came up with some proposals to get us bang up to date. They had some great ideas and we are really pleased with the results.
However, their trump card, in my opinion was that after the website was launched, they didn't disappear. Jonathan and Richard kept in touch and were always on hand to help.
All in all, we were very satisfied with the service and would have no reservations in recommending them."
Ecommerce website development
If you require a new online store talk to us! Our web design team will work with you to firstly create the look and feel of your website before handing it over to the developers to start the build.
We'll keep in contact with you throughout this process so we can ensure you're happy with the site before it's launched.
Some examples of our ecommerce solutions include Crowston's Tack Shop in Scunthorpe and Green Saffron based in Ireland.
Mobile web development
With the constant evolution of technology mobile sites can be an easier way for your customers to view your brand or store on the go. The process usually involves displaying a more mobile efficient version of the site for quicker browsing on the smaller screen.
At the end of last year we developed a mobile version of our website. Get in touch if you'd like us to do the same for you.
Responsive web design
You may not have heard of responsive web design as it is relatively new to a lot of people.
Instead of having a separate mobile site we would develop one which folds or hides various sections of the pages to fit the different screen resolutions seamlessly.
Our recently launched site for Northern Fire & Safety based in Scunthorpe is an example of a responsive design as it displays differently on a standard screen, a tablet or a mobile.
"From the early planning stages right through to the implementation of our new website, Urban Feather have been very approachable, professional and a pleasure to deal with. The new website is our first responsive website, but any questions we've had or challenges we've faced have been dealt with by Richard in a timely manner and we are very pleased with the final outcome of the project."
