PATRICK DAVID JOHNSON, age 21, of Vancouver, Washington, pleaded guilty today in Federal District Court in Tacoma to four charges relating to trafficking of methamphetamine and heroin, possession of two handguns after being convicted of a felony offense, and possession of a firearm in furtherance of drug trafficking. He faces a combined mandatory minimum sentence of at least ten (10) years and up to life imprisonment on the counts. His prison time will be followed by at least five (5) years of supervised release, when he is sentenced on November 18, 2005 by United States District Judge Ronald B. Leighton.
According to court records, on November 24, 2004, police executed a state search warrant at a residence at 10413 N.E. Burton Road, Vancouver, Washington. In the course of the search of JOHNSON's bedroom, officers found two loaded pistols, approximately seven ounces (194 grams) of methamphetamine, and more than one-half ounce of heroin. Police also recovered scales, packaging materials, and drug notes frequently associated with drug traffickers, a collection of approximately thirty (30) knives, about a dozen car stereos, and over $2,400 in cash. JOHNSON had two prior felony methamphetamine convictions in 2002 and 2003 from Clark County Superior Court.
The money, stereos, guns, drugs, and other drug trafficking paraphernalia have been or will be forfeited as part of the prosecution and JOHNSON's guilty pleas.
JOHNSON was prosecuted as part of the Project Safe Neighborhoods program. Unveiled by President George W. Bush in May 2001, Project Safe Neighborhoods, a comprehensive and strategic approach to gun law enforcement, is a nationwide commitment to reduce gun crime in America by networking both new and existing local programs that target gun crime and then providing them with the resources and tools they need to succeed. Implementation at the local level -- in this case, in Vancouver and Clark County -- has fostered close partnerships between federal, state and local prosecutors and law enforcement, resulting in the successful targeting of individuals who commit gun crimes such as those committed by PATRICK DAVID JOHNSON.
This case was primarily investigated by members of the Camas Police Department, the Clark County Sheriff's Office, and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives. The case was investigated and prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Gregory A. Gruber.

Subrata Roy: India detains Sahara group chief
One of India's most flamboyant tycoons, Subrata Roy, has been taken into police custody after surrendering himself for arrest in a fraud case.
The Supreme Court ordered the arrest of the Sahara group chief when he failed to appear before judges on Wednesday.
Two Sahara firms are accused of raising 240bn rupees ($3.9bn; £2.3bn) through illegal bonds.
Market regulators say Mr Roy failed to refund money to millions of investors despite a court order.
He was remanded to police custody until 4 March when it is expected the Supreme Court will hear the case.
Indian media reports say he has requested to be kept under house arrest.
'Law-abiding citizen'Earlier on Friday, Mr Roy issued a statement denying he was trying to avoid arrest, after police in Lucknow said they had raided his house on Thursday but failed to find him.
Mr Roy said he was in Lucknow but had left his home to consult doctors about his mother's health.
Who is Subrata Roy?
- Chairman of Sahara, an $11bn business group
- Business empire spans finance, housing, manufacturing, aviation and media
- Owns New York's Plaza Hotel and London's Grosvenor House
- Employs 1.1 million workers, India's biggest private employer
- Sponsors India hockey team, owns a stake in F1 racing team Force India
- Owns a fleet of private jets, helicopters, Rolls-Royces, Bentleys and BMWs
On Wednesday, judges ordered the businessman's arrest after his lawyer said the Sahara chief had been unable to appear in court because his 92-year-old mother was unwell.
The case stretches back to August 2012, when the court ordered the two Sahara firms implicated to refund money to 22 million small investors within 90 days and with 15% interest.
In December 2012, the court gave the firms more time to repay.
In February last year, market regulators froze the firms' bank accounts saying they had failed to refund the money.
But Sahara disputes the amount it should pay back, saying its liability should be no more than the 51.2bn rupees it has already paid back.
Mr Roy is a household name in India.
His group, worth $11bn, has businesses ranging from finance, housing, manufacturing, aviation and the media.
It also has interests overseas - it owns New York's landmark Plaza Hotel and London's iconic Grosvenor House.
Sahara also sponsors the Indian hockey team and owns a stake in Formula One racing team, Force India.
With more than 1.1 million workers, the group is India's biggest private sector employer.

Concierge.com's insider take:
Nearly half of St. John's Virgin Islands National Park is underwater, and coral reefs can be found just offshore along much of the coastline. Without a doubt the most popular site is Trunk Bay, where a trail of plaques set 5 to 15 feet underwater explains the complex coral-reef ecosystem. Suitable for beginners, the route extends about 100 yards along the west side of Trunk Bay, with good specimens of brain and elkhorn coral, schools of yellowtail snapper, and plenty of stoplight parrotfish. Two novice-level sites, Caneel Bay's Scott's Beach and east-side Waterlemon Bay, both have have sandy bottoms and sea grass beds that attract spotted eagle rays, southern stingrays, and green sea turtles. More experienced snorkelers can tackle rocky Salt Pond Bay, where octopus may be sighted. But mind the sea urchins and be sure to wear fins, or you may struggle against the wind-whipped current on your return to the beach. Many hotels provide complimentary snorkeling gear or rentals for a nominal fee.

Fashion Week, 10 Years Later: A Bond Forged in Tragedy (NY Times)
"It is but a small footnote to history that the 9/11 terrorist attacks happened on what was to have been the fourth day of New York Fashion Week for the spring 2002 season… In the days that followed, many designers, as they struggled to make sense of their world and resume the daily business of fashion, arranged simple presentations… But for the younger designers… There was no viable way to show their collections to the buyers or press."
Richemont Five-Month Sales Rise on Increased Demand in Asia (Bloomberg)
"Richemont, the second-biggest luxury-goods company, reported sales that beat analysts' estimates as Asian consumers bought more Vacheron Constantin timepieces and Cartier jewelry. Revenue rose 29 percent in the five months through August from the year-earlier period, the Geneva-based company said… Sales rose 46 percent in the Asia Pacific region, where growing numbers of millionaires are fueling demand for high-end goods."
Fashion Week's Impact, by the Numbers (On The Runway)
"Since Fashion Week moved from Bryant Park to Lincoln Center a year ago, a lot of people (designers, journalists, locals) have debated the impact of relocating such an enormous media event. While the move has drawn significant complaints from area residents about the noise and pollution caused by the portable generators that power the tents, a new study released… Noted that the shows have had a positive impact in at least one regard, the local economy."
Netrobe Is A Virtual Closet For Your iPhone (TechCrunch)
"Inspired by the now infamous virtual closet in Clueless, Netrobe, an iPhone app out of Athens, Greece, attempts exactly this, helping you remember the individual items from your wardrobe by giving you a tool to catalog them. Netrobe allows iPhone users to mix and match individual items of clothing or accessories on a Styleboard, create outfits for events, pack entire suitcases or add inspirational images to a Lookbook."
Remembering Diana Vreeland (On the Runway)
"Diana Vreeland, who died in 1989, is hardly an unknown figure in the worlds of fashion and journalism… But now, a new documentary that was shown over the weekend at both the Venice and Telluride film festivals has the potential to bring Ms. Vreeland's story, and a pretty compelling one it is, to a wider audience."

Top Critic Reviews
Rotten: It's a curio, ripe with dreamy atmospherics and intriguing mysteries, but little else.
- Ann Hornaday, Washington Post, Friday, June 15, 2012
Fresh: The movie casts such a seductive air of mystery that the resolution feels anticlimactic, yet there's plenty to enjoy along the way, particularly Hawke's nuanced lead performance as a quiet man with secrets of his own.
- Ben Sachs, Chicago Reader, Thursday, June 21, 2012
Fresh: Those who prefer tidy, "Murder, She Wrote" closure are advised to shop elsewhere.
- Colin Covert, Minneapolis Star Tribune, Thursday, June 28, 2012
Audience Reviews
Pawel Pawlikowski's The Woman in the Fifth is ridicilous imitation of nightmarish paranoia thrillers of Roman Polanski. First of all Pawlikowski does not have even remote amounts of same skill as a director which Polanski has and while ambitious with it's plot, this film ends up being nothing but a frustrating mess without single bit of logic in it. Ethan Hawke plays American writer Tom Ricks who is trying to make an connection with his daughter, but what begins as a rather ordinary kind of drama very soon spirals out of control and goes into a completely and utterly stupid direction. Director/writer Pawlikowski clearly thinks that he has invented something truly original with his story, but quite honestly he has created a one of the most confusing and logic defying screenplays in many moons and not in a good way. This is a film about nothing, nobody and travel to nowhere. There is no beginning and there is no ending. There is just this stupid and cheap entertainment which is aiming to be something much more psychological, artsy and complex than it actually is. Those who are looking for good mystery thriller won't find it here. This is just complete waste of time.

First "Elles," and now "The Woman in the Fifth." Two films made in Paris by Polish-born filmmakers in one year. And Joanna Kulig appears in both of them! Quite a coincidence. The good news is that Poland is finally appearing on cinema's world stage. More good news is that these two films are good and operate at quite a high artistic level. They're not great, but they are artistically ambitious. They aim high. In a year that is so far one of the worst in cinema history, this is a relief to see. When every other filmmaker is aiming low, it's especially satisfying to see two filmmakers aiming high. Thank you, Poland, for resisting 2012's trend of brainlessness and artlessness. "The Woman in the Fifth" is a portrait of madness. An American novelist (played by Ethan Hawke) arrives in Paris, struggling to make contact with his estranged wife and young daughter. It's never specified what happened, but the wife has a restraining order against the husband. She calls the police as soon as he shows up. The bulk of the film concerns his attempt to find an apartment in Paris, earn some money, and try to get visitation rights to see his daughter. He also meets a woman (Kristin Scott Thomas) and begins a passionate relationship with her. Then weird things start happening. His daughter is abducted and left in a public park. When she is found, Hawke is the prime suspect. Is he being framed, or did he do it? Does he have a Jekyll and Hyde type of split personality? Other eerie things happen as well, especially a whopper concerning Ms. Thomas's character. It's an intriguing, upsetting exploration of what it must feel like to lose one's mind. But ultimately it's not that satisfying. I didn't care about the characters as much as I would want to. At times the film feels like an intellectual exercise, but there are many moments of real feeling as well. It's not a masterpiece, but "The Woman in the Fifth" is a true work of art and has moments that are fantastic. It's one of the best films of the year so far.

"The Woman in the Fifth" starts with Tom Ricks(Ethan Hawke), a university professor and one-time author, traveling to Paris to visit his six-year old daughter Chloe(Julie Papillon). Except his very estranged wife Nathalie(Delphine Chuillot) wants nothing to do with him, citing an exclusion order to call the police on him. Luckily, he escapes cleanly but is later thoroughly robbed on a bus, except for his passport and a stuffed giraffe intended for his daughter. Instead of going to the American embassy, Tom ends up at a flophouse where he cuts a deal with its manager, Sezer(Samir Guesmi), to keep watch from 10 pm to 4 am every night for 50 euros a night. This also gives Tom enough time to stalk his daughter, write and visit Margit(Kristin Scott Thomas), an interpreter. As a psychological drama, "The Woman in the Fifth" is decent enough by hinting more often than not. And it takes a chance by having a lead character rarely off screen who is unstable. This is in a Paris, absent of its usual landmarks in favor of graffiti, that consumes people whole from other countries, like Ania(Joanna Kulig), from Poland. Otherwise, there is not that much of a story, as the movie has a way of going around in circles before a plot twist that is so off the wall, considering the circumstances, that is past doozy into WTF territory. At the same time, it does sort of eventually fit in with rest of the movie's themes.

A familiar tool helps you do the necessary tinkering
Executive Summary: To get Server Core's network stack set up, you can use the Netsh utility, which has gone through some recent changes. Here's how to use the latest incarnation. |
If you're like me, you're excited about the prospect of Server Core, Windows Server 2008's GUI-less alternative. In this space, I've tackled a few aspects of Server Core configuration. Now, it's time to get Server Core's network stack set up. To do that, I'll use Netsh, a tool that I've described in the past but that's changed enough to warrant a new look.
IP and DNS
Netsh can accomplish many tasks, and one of those is to set a system's IP address and DNS servers. Like the IPv4 Properties GUI that you'll find in the full Server 2008 installation, Netsh lets you choose to either assign a static IP address or get IP information from a DHCP server. Using DHCP makes for a simpler command, so let's start with that:
netsh int ip set address "local area connection" dhcp
DHCP is the default setting, so it's more likely that you'll want to set a static IP address. To do so, assemble a Netsh command as follows: address> <netmask> \[<gateway IP address> \[<metric>\]\]
Notice that the gateway is now optional. Some older versions of Netsh complained if you left the default gateway's IP address off a Netsh command. For example, to assign a static IP address of 192.168.2.2 on a /24 network with a default gateway address of 192.168.2.1, you'd type
192.168.2.2 255.255.255.0 192.168.2.1
First, Second, Third…
Finally, you'll want to specify one or more DNS servers' IP addresses that your Server Core system can use for resolving names. Netsh can do that, but the syntax is a bit unexpected: You use netsh int ip set dns to set the preferred DNS server and netsh int ip add dns to specify your additional choices. The syntax for setting the first DNS server is easier than for setting the IP address:
netsh int ip set dns "<adapter name>" static <IP address> | dhcp
For example, to give your Server Core system a preferred DNS server with an IP address of 10.50.50.4, you'd type netsh int ip set dns "local area connection" static 10.50.50.4
To add subsequent DNS servers to search, you'd use the syntax
netsh int ip add dns "<adapter name>" <IP address>
No static keyword is necessary in this command; you can't tell your system to accept a statically assigned, preferred DNS address but then get the subsequent DNS server IP addresses from DHCP. So, for example, to tell your Server Core system to look to the DNS server at 10.50.50.1 when the DNS server at 10.50.50.4 doesn't respond, you would type netsh int ip add dns "local area connection" 10.50.50.1
Assemble a Batch File By now, you're pretty far along in the process of setting up your Server Core system. I recommend assembling a batch file that contains all your setup commands—it would be a great tool either for rebuilding after a disaster or building a test network that parallels your real network!

I am going through some bad times with my husband .
He's computer smart and he has posted videos with the help of his Interne friends and made videos of me and my family, putting together my voice he recorded in secret.
I found out through this net group he's involved in that he has hacked into my phone and other family members' phones, and don't tell me this can't be done.
I have found where it looks like he has made comic books and magazines about me and my daughter.
Has anyone heard of Surrey University in the UK? This university pays people for private info, then this info is set up in a classroom and talked about and discussed to put their spin on this info to say yes or no if you're crazy or depressed.
The slander and stalking has all been done to cover up his dirty internet crimes.
What can a person do to stop this and to protect their family? This is an international Internet group of hackers and attackers. Does anyone have any advice or info?

Hello, everyone. I was an atheist until at the age of 27 I began to study the Bible in order to debunk it. I learned quickly that the Bible was grossly misrepresented by apostate Christendom's adoption of pagan teachings such as the immortal soul from Socrates, the trinity from Plato, the cross from Constantine, hell from Dante and Milton, Easter from Astarte, Christmas from the winter solstice celebrations, and most recently the Rapture from Darby.
Though I have never and will never be a part of organized religion, my beliefs are not entirely dissimilar to that of The Jehovah's Witnesses, due to the removal of the aforementioned pagan influence. I have studied briefly the history of the major world religions, Buddhism, Christianity, Confucianism, Hinduism, Islam, Judaism, Shintoism and Taoism and have published sacred and non-sacred texts from each of these online: The Dhammapada, Four Noble Truths, Paradise Lost, Divine Comedy, Analects Of Confucius, Bhagavad Gita, Qur'an, Pirqe Aboth, Nihongi, Kojiki, Tao Te Ching and Chuang Tzu.
Having been an atheist most of my life and given that nearly everyone I know is atheist, I think I understand and respect where most of you are coming from. I don't believe in "converting" anyone to anything, but I do think the atheist tends to be mislead when it comes to the Bible. Not that that matters much, except for that I do enjoy, given the opportunity, to correct them in thoughtful and polite discussion and debate.
I hope we can have some interesting conversations.
I expect that some of these types of cats and dogs did not exist at the time of the supposed 'flood', but the point is taken. This seemed about as effective as some of the other animal protection commercials I have seen.
Well DONE!
That is overall one of the best channels on Youtube, I heartily recommend it.
Then there's the problem of space. Two of every animal species on earth could not possibly fit into an ark. Even if they could, two animals are not a viable breeding population, so the species would have been doomed anyway.
@David - Of course you can't. And then when I leave you react to that as well. Atheist forums are shinning examples of codependent personalities -
co-dependent personalities, and proud of it,that people from all over the world, are of like mind, but very different personalities - I am learning all about what makes Kenya tick, all about the tribulations of ex muslims and how strong women are in these patriarchal religious shite holes, and the men who support them, that is what makes us humans, there is even a cartoon and jokes page you might like to visit,it might lighten you up, and not be so serious and angry, it is not good for your health :)
There is a very big world out there, and it would be part of your education to find out about it, so do stay coming onto this site, and broaden your horizons, and find out, life is not just about religion. Now that would be a revelation :)
No,no, please stay - you reinforce why I am an Atheist - you, as all those christians before you, have never answered a question, lot of words, no truth or meaning, and how you, as typical of christians before you, fudge what you don't like in your bible, which you follow, then don't want to be called a christian. You may not want to call yourself a christian, but the last time I looked, people who believe in a god, and read the say, KJV of a bible, are called christian.
Sorry, reality of life :)
So what does 'codependency' mean to him?
If someone tells me that I should not 'feel' the way I do, or 'think' the way I do, or eat shell fish because it offends 'them', or 'they' condemn me to hell because for a long list of petty offences, what does say to you? If I do any of these, or more, inspite of 'them', am I co-dependent, or free man?
Anyone here have a working knowledge of the concept of 'co-dependency'? I am a little thin at 2:10am..LOL
I woke up a 3 am, myself, and read and wrote stuff here. That might count as co-dependency?
I can't imagine any goup more codependent than Christians, with their multiple weekly meetings to reinforce each other's belief systems.
Or the daily gatherng of atheists, picking on the most recent theist that has volunteered to be the next meal! Don't get me wrong, after a life time of putting up with theist grandstanding, meanness, falt finding and general cursing to hell, it does seem that turn around is fair play.
I just can't find any 'place' to send the theists to. When we have paved hell over, pulled out the fence posts, kicked the gate down, and told satan to get a real job, it just looks like we are stuck with them. It could be worse, but I just can't bring myself to it. I am just trying to have a nice day...
@David - and the lovely David is just as angry as the usual run of he mill christians who come onto this site to show us the way - they give me my laugh for the day :)
Angry, tilting at imaginary windmills, battling with trolls and demons. Sadly the only ones he found had to be us, fellow humans...
@David there are a lot of Atheists here against one - Dearest David, I am not 'against you' I just feel so sorry for you, and just want to pat you on the head and say, "Everything will be alright, there,there.'

Fellowship and solidarity seen at weekend prayer rally
by WILY/WRXX News Staff • October 21, 2013 • News
It was an afternoon of prayer, fellowship and solidarity in Centralia for a Saturday rally calling for the Murray
Developmental Center to be kept open.
Parents, friends, and employees of the Murray Center, along with families, friends and employees of correctional facilities, are calling on a higher power to keep the home of more than 200 developmentally disabled people open.
My Brother's Keeper founder Marsha Griffin says her group's philosophy is they have to be a voice for those who actually have no voice otherwise.
The group was originally formed to comfort those coping with the closure of Tamms Correctional Center and is now "praying it forward" by joining forces with Murray supporters in the fight against Gov. Pat Quinn's plans to close the Centralia facility..
Griffin says they believe there will be a miracle and Murray Center will be saved, adding that's what's best for the residents, and what's just, and what's right.
She is hoping the outcome for Murray won't be the same as it was for Tamms. The supermax prison has now been closed for 10 months, and many against the closure believe it's caused an increase in violence throughout Illinois correctional system.

Hear Jack White and Butthole Surfers' Gibby Haynes Thrash Goofily on 'Paul's Not Home'
Adrenalin O.D. cover hails from Valentine's 7-inch
Yesterday we learned that Jack White (guitar) and Butthole Surfers singer Gibby Haynes (vocals) teamed up to record a handful of tracks that will be released on White's Third Man Records come Valentine's Day. Aw. Today, we can hear a whole song from The Gibby Haynes Blues Series, and it happens to be a ripping cover of '80s goofball thrash jam "Paul's Not Home" by Jersey punks Adrenalin O.D. Stream that careening comical bruiser below and learn the surprising answers to such burning questions as "Is Paul gay?", "Is Paul on fire?" and, for the Beatlemaniac's out there, "Is Paul dead?"
This is the A-side to the three-song set, which includes a pair of originals as well: "You Don't Have to Be Smart" and "Horse Named George." We'll be awaiting the answer tracks, "He's Out With Ringo" and "Thief Named John."

Rhino Doughnuts & Coffee Opening First Location This Month
The world is a mixed bag of different people and experiences. We come from different countries, different cultures, different religions, different socioeconomic statuses. Heck, most of us seem to have a signature specialty diet these days.All photos courtesy Rhino Doughnut Maple and Bacon are coming to town
As diverse as we may be, there's one thing we can all agree upon, doughnuts. (If you don't, we just can't help you. Sorry.)
Fortunately, those sweet little circles of fried dough are all the rage these days -- we can thank our friends maple syrup and bacon for that.
And South Florida is just about to receive it's newest specialty doughnut and coffee shop later on this month. Rhino Doughnuts & Coffee is opening its first location in the coming weeks.
Starting with a soft-opening Lauderdale-by-the-Sea on Memorial Day weekend, and following with Boca Raton in early July, Las Olas Riverfront, Delray Beach, and culminating with Cypress Creek, owners Athan "Tom" Prakas and Davin Tran plan to have all four locations open within the next six months.
Each shop will serve an array of gourmet made-from-scratch doughnuts and baked good prepared at a commissary kitchen in Sunrise. The chef-prepared pastries are all natural, with a wide variety of fillings, toppings, and glazes.

Former Sevilla goalkeeping coach Javier Garcia has joined Swansea City as a replacement for Adrian Tucker.
The 34-year-old was highly praised last season for the part he played in Sevilla winning the Europa League with a 4-2 penalty shoot-out victory over Benfica.
Garcia is also a 'coach educator' and goalkeeping scout for the Spanish Federation and has two spells with Espanyol's U21s before moving to Sevilla in 2011.
\"I'm delighted to be given the opportunity to work at a club that is growing at a rapid rate in the best league in the world,'' he said.
\"All the information I've received about the city and how the club, chairman and manager work convinced me to come to Swansea.
\"It was hard to leave Sevilla because it is such a good club with good people. But it's a great opportunity for me to work in such a positive environment where I can develop and grow with the club. It's an exciting challenge.''

Having viewed the "Well Done" signs all over the restaurant, we ordered a large pizza. Who gets a pizza medium rare anyhow? The pizza arrived burnt, black in spots on the bottom and the edges were black, like the coal they use in the coal fired oven. Pizza was also tasteless. My recommendation is to eat anywhere else.
Posted by Chris_A on 12/25/2012
First off my issue is with the focaccia sandwich , the over use of arugula and no pesto spread on the bread. Also the sandwhich was to salty no balance in the flavor. I would not recommend this place to anyone looking for a good sandwich. Local pizza places are a much better value and more tastier .

It's next to impossible to get thin crust pizza out in the 'burbs. So, I'm a fan of Anthony's pies and glad the company landed here. The pizzas are super thin, nicely seasoned, crispy, though sometimes black burnt. Anthony's considers that a-ok because "It's pizza well-done", remember). With the niceties out of the way, here's what I can't stand about the place: the tile floor and other hard surfaces that make the noise of dozens of screaming kids and loud conversation of grown ups unbearable...the inexperience of waitstaff that always leaves you waiting: you keep turning your head around wondering where your server is ... the painfully high prices (2 lg pies and a salad: $46)...and, if you're doing carry out, the ridiculously long time for them to get your order ready. (we were told an hour and a half one night). We don't go often because of these reasons. But, it sure is good tasting 'za.
Posted by Great Pizza - like the whole "burnt dough" thing on 03/04/2012
Our favorite pizza. Try the steak calzone.

Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza is OUTSTANDING, I work for a company that uses them on a regular basis and they are so genuine and helpful. Everyone from the Hostess to the Managers are very classy and polite. ESPECIALLY Kristina (with a K). This is the kind of place you can take the guys, take the family, or even take a date. Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza REDEFINES COOL & CLASSY for pizza...A+ Service A+Atmosphere A+Pizza A+Flavor this place is a slice above the rest. (pun intended)

Let's see I called up ordered a pizza because I really wanted to try this place. I get there they didn't have my order so I waited I asked for X cheese and Pepperoni I got plain and they charged me almost 20 bucks. My hands are black from the junk off the bottom, the crust darn near busted a tooth and we had to add hot pepper flakes to give it a little taste. When I called to tell them they were no we charge that for our plain pizza. I wanted pizza not burnt dough if I didn't live 4 miles away I would have taken it back and dumped it on their floor
Posted by john on 08/17/2011
I met a friend here last week for lunch. The service was good, the food was good also. I had a lunch sized pizza with pepperoni and she had the Italian Salad. She asked for chicken on the salad, which they were out of that day so she got meatballs instead. She said everything was good. Even the Yards Brawler I ordered on draft was fresh. Bonus points on that one. All in all we enjoyed our meal. I would definitely go back again.

Last-Minute Pitches, Endorsements and Lame Duck Days
Felipe Calderón, in the closing hours of his bid for the Mexican presidency, is touting his "grand plan" for Mexico. In an interview with El Universal, Calderón, the conservative nominee from Vicente Fox's ruling party outlined his 24-year agenda.
Calderón, who had moved ahead in the polls this spring only to find himself now in a down-to-the-wire dead heat, complained that the "missile" attack ads by Andrés Manuel López Obrador had distracted voters briefly. But now he says Mexican are focused once again on the central issue of the campaign: the economy.
In the front page interview, Calderón also reiterated his promise to form a coalition government if he is victorious Sunday. There are, of course, limits to his bipartisanship.
"While pledging a coalition government, he added that he would reserve certain key cabinet posts - such as the interior, finance and foreign relations secretaries - for his closest political allies. "'The opposition´s participation (in my government) will depend on their level of commitment,' he said."
Calderón's final campaign events have drawn crowds in the tens of thousands. In Leon, local PAN officials claimed they would deliver 1.4 million votes for their nominee. That would be 500,000 more than Fox received from the state of Guanajuato in his victorious 2000 race.
Even though the voting hasn't yet begun, López Obrador is already fanning suspicions that his opponents may try to steal the vote. Stumping on Calderón's home turf of Morelia, AMLO accused the PAN of--horrors!--stooping to the tactics of the old PRI.
Just in case anyone was wondering, López Obrador says if he is elected, he won't lie, steal and betray anyone. That's nice.
The former Mexico City mayor, making a bid for the up-for-grabs women's vote, is also promising to appoint women to half of his cabinet positions.
Maybe it's just jumping on the bandwagon; maybe there really is a coalition forming. We won't know until, you guessed it, Election Day. But there are some interesting endorsements in the final week of this increasingly nasty campaign. One hundred prominent writers, artists, academics and moviemakers purchased a full page ad in La Journada urging a vote for AMLO. The ad states that the group has made AMLO its choice because it opposes inequality, racism, homophobia and discrimination against indigenous peoples.
López Obrador also looks to have won the support of Arturo Gallardo, a columnist and online editor of MySanAntonio.com, a joint project of the San Antonio Express-News and local television station KENS 5.
"Despite his early mistakes, López Obrador has provided a clear ultimate goal, the reduction of poverty, and he seems committed to achieving a more egalitarian society in a shorter term than the other two major candidates," Gallardo writes. "This vision should appeal to the majority of Mexicans who need a more inclusive political system."
The Crime Issue
AMLO may be focused on criminal business activity, but a much greater concern for average Mexicans appears to be violent crime, namely the persistent drug wars and kidnappings that plague much of the country.
"The country of 106 million now has the second-highest incidence of kidnapping in the world, after Colombia. The most recent police figures for federal crimes show drug trafficking and weapons possession rose 12 per cent between 2001 and 2004," according to the Globe and Mail. "Felipe Calderón, a 43-year-old Harvard-educated lawyer and candidate for the ruling National Action Party, has promised to bring a mano firme (firm hand) to end the violence, and has called for life sentences for kidnappers. Mr. Calderón is tied in the polls with Andres Manuel López Obrador, the 53-year-old candidate for the leftist Party of the Democratic Revolution, who believes that violence and crime must be fought with job creation and opportunities for the poor."
Both Calderón and PRI candidate Roberto Madrazo have proposed creating a unified federal police department and a centralized intelligence agency.
"Democratic Revolution Party (PRD) candidate Andres Manuel López Obrador wants to re-evaluate every officer in the federal attorney general's office and shake up state and local police forces."
Campaign Conexión One-on-One
One of the most prominent Mexican intellectuals, a self-proclaimed liberal, is actively speaking out against the left-leaning candidate in the race. Historian and essayist Enrique Krauze does not mince words when it comes to the prospect of Un Presidente López Obrador, whom Krauze describes as "irresponsible but irresistable."
In an interview at his Mexico City office, Krauze painted a portrait of a man with a messianic complex who plays on class tensions and has little interest in the world beyond Mexico's borders. AMLO's public appeal seems to go beyond populism or charm, said Krauze. "I think he really believes he's Mexico's savior."
Krauze said he would vote for the liberal in the race if that person were more like Brazil's Luiz Inacio Lula De Silva. But his concern with López Obrador, whom he interviewed in 2003, is that the PRD candidate will move to consolidate power and turn back the clock on Mexico's democracy.
"He has good advisers, but I doubt he listens to them," said Krauze, seated behind his immense desk. "He listens to himself."
Krauze has reported that López Obrador does not have a passport. The AMLO campaign has been vague in answering questions about his travels outside of Mexico. Adviser Jorge de los Santos told Campaign Conexión that López Obrador went to Cuba for his honeymoon (decades ago) and visited President Bill Clinton at the White House. (In an interview with El Universal, López Obrador said he has been to Argentina and Brazil.)
Of course, Krauze doesn't blame lower-class Mexicans for being drawn to López Obrador's for-the-poor-first candidacy.
"For the majority of its citizens, Mexico is still a very poor country -- a shameful reality that has given the left considerable appeal," he writes in a comprehensive, coherent analysis of the political winds south of the border. "Whatever the weaknesses of certain of his policy proposals, López Obrador owes his political advantage to his seriousness in accepting and confronting this burden -- a concern for the poor that gives him a connection to some of the core ideals of the Mexican Revolution. A victory for the left would also be understandable as a reaction by the public to the real and perceived failures of the Fox government.
"As president, Fox has not done any major damage (unlike many of the PRI'S authoritarian presidents), but he has not done enough real good either...it is probable that the PAN will be punished because of the widely held perception that Fox has not governed effectively. "
In our conversation, Krauze described the Fox tenure as "frivolous, irresponsible" and said the still-popular president "wasted his political capital."
Even though Calderón has run on a platform of continuity, his team clearly sees there are risks in being too closely associated with Fox. In an online chat Tuesday, Calderón adviser Arturo Sarukhan was asked: How can you sell your man as the candidate of continuity, with the dismal record of unfulfiled Mr. Fox's campaign promises?
His response: "Felipe is not Vicente Fox."
Lame Duck Quacks (and Quacks and Quacks)
Fox's lame-duck status hasn't stopped him from speaking out on subjects as diverse as the Mexican soccer team and the 2010 festivities marking 100 years of Mexican independence. He has even been sanctioned for promoting Calderón's candidacy (a big no-no for sitting Mexican presidents). After a recent meeting with his security team, Fox promised there would be no disruptions of Sunday's voting.
The Boston Globe's Jo Tuckman examines Fox's mixed legacy, noting that the first non-PRI president in seven decades brought some measure of economic stability, expanded some social welfare programs and made government more transparent
But, there are plenty of buts.
"But economists insist that the lack of reforms designed to increase government revenue and encourage private investment condemned Mexico to levels of economic growth and job creation far below the pledges Fox had made...At his final annual address to the legislature in September, Fox was periodically shouted down by opposition deputies. His performance on human rights also came under fire."
The Arizona Republic convinced Fox to field questions from readers and released a lengthy transcript on its Web site .
In it, the former Coca Cola executive claims that Mexico's economy has fundamental indicators equal to those in the United States and that the problem in his country today is not job creation but training workers for those jobs. As for crime, that is largely the fault of the U.S.
"The challenge is organized crime, and that organized crime is generated by the enormous (drug) market in the United States. So we, the U.S. and Mexican governments, have established that it is a shared responsibility. The Americans consume, and we pay the price in Mexico, because the money that is generated in that enormous drug-consumption market in the United States is used in Mexico to bribe police and public officials."
And after his successor is inaugurated? He plans to "ride horses in Arizona, and give speeches."
What to Watch
With just hours left of formal campaigning, all eyes turn to Mexico City's zocalo Wednesday evening for López Obrador's final campaign rally. For more stories from the campaign trail, check out fellow bloggers at the Associated Press.

There's a correction to be made, on 2010 is the celebration of 200 years of Mexican independence, not 100. That year also marks the celebration of the 100th anniversary of the Mexican Revolution (unrelated to the independence)

Thanks for catching that error. Bruno is absolutely right. It's 200 years of Mexican independence and the 100-year anniversary of the revolution.

I find myself agreeing with Krauze in just about everything. I get ridiculed for saying some "liberals" or leftists thoroughly distrust AMLO, but that is my case as well as Krauze (and even someone like Sergio Sarmiento, who thinks AMLO's economic plan is demagogic rubbish). What I do not agree with is his contention that AMLO will concentrate power and turn back the clock to introduce some sort of new PRI-like electoral machinery. (The party lacks the discipline for this). I am more afraid of runaway spending in trying to build such a machine.
Posted by: Gabriel | June 28, 2006 02:59 PM
Three things....
Ceci, I'm a huge fan of yours, and as an occasional viewer of Fox News Sunday, I believe you offer the most reasonable centrist perspective of any of the panelists. I've written them to ask that you become a regular contributor.
Two, Gabriel, I assure, you, you have nothing to worry about with respect to "runaway" spending. AMLO and his finance team realize that Mexico is like a public corporation, constantly scrutinized by the financial markets. The second that these economic agents believe that AMLO will resort to deficit spending, the country risk premium would increase on our dollar denominated debt, as would the yield on Mexico's peso-denominated long-term bonds. Given the priority that AMLO has given public works (which are VERY dependent on low interest rates), AMLO would never allow this to happen.
Gabriel, I also remind you what the Wall Street Journal said about Clinton's economic program when he was campaigning. Yet, Clinton surrounded himself with brilliant public servants at Treasury who convinced the financial markets of President Clinton's fiscal resp. Result? LT rates plummeted, and the economy surged as it has never done before.
Three, Krause is no different from Zell Miller, claiming to be a Democrat when he has sold out to the RightWing extremists.
Posted by: Richard | June 28, 2006 07:33 PM
Both candidates belong to the system. The system must to change. The Constitution carry over 568 changes. The soberanaty of states doesn't exist; because the federal government take it. No one state give an ID is ridiculus. Mexico needs a New Constitution and the candidates seem ignore this theme, why?
Posted by: José Reyes | June 29, 2006 06:55 AM
Hola Ceci,
Thanks for quoting an excerpt from my column about the candidacy of Andrés Manuel López Obrador. The coverage provided in your blogs seems interesting and colorful.
Just to clarify, I do not endorse or support any presidential candidacy in this election. My aim is to analyze their campaigns and their possibilities of success in this electoral process.
This is another excerpt from a column written about Felipe Calderón:
"The great merit of Calderón's team is turning the election into a true race in which the proposals matter. His campaign has maximized the use of mass media, won the first debate and continued to improve his presence in northern Mexico."
Here is the url for that column. http://www.mysanantonio.com/news/mexico/stories/MYSA060506.2O.gallardocomment.1c92dab.html
By the way, if you're interested in some additional coverage, we are also live blogging the election from Mexico in our Beyond the Border blog.
Thanks again!

If Felipe Calderon got a law degree in Mexico and a degree in public administration at Harvard, is it not misleading to refer to him as a "Harvard educated lawyer"?

Erik L. Hewlett, MD
Structure and function of bacterial toxins as probes of cell signaling
The Hewlett research group interest is in bacterial toxins, as biomedical research tools, as well as virulence factors contributing to the pathogenesis of infectious diseases. Specifically, work in the laboratory is directed at the molecular mechanisms of action of anthrax toxins, edema toxin and lethal toxin, and two toxins from Bordetella pertussis, adenylate cyclase (AC) toxin and pertussis toxin. Edema toxin (ET), produced by Bacillus anthracis, is composed of a binding subunit, protective antigen (PA), and the enzymatically active adenylate cyclase, edema factor (EF). Although simplistically this toxin has a similar function to the bordetella AC toxin, namely producing supraphysiologic levels of cyclic AMP from host cell ATP, the functional and consequential differences between the two are just now becoming fully appreciated. For example, bordetella AC toxin elicits apoptotic cytotoxicity in multiple cell types, whereas ET does not, despite also increasing intracellular cAMP levels. Observations such as these are proving very useful in understanding physiologic processes in the biology of normal and cancer cells, quite apart from microbial pathogenesis.
Lethal toxin (LT) is known to cleave one or more MAPK kinases in target cells and to cause cell death, perhaps by a mechanism related to the MAPKK proteolytic cleavage. The molecular mechanism of LT-elicited cell death and the complementary effects of LT and ET are being studied in cultured macrophages, endothelial cells and other cell types. Of particular relevance is the recognition that LT has activity against melanoma cells and it is being evaluated as a potential treatment modality for that cancer and others.
The other toxin on which extensive work has been done in the lab is pertussis toxin (PT), an ADP-ribosyl transferase that covalently modifies a select population of G proteins, resulting in inhibition of their ability to transduce signals from cell surface receptors. PT is a remarkable tool for cell biology and cancer research, enabling characterization and manipulation of receptor-linked pathways.

I'm happy with the battery and that's what counts. I went the extra $1 to get the tools as I had never attempted to replace the battery in an iPhone before. I ended up using my own tools to get the job done because the provided tools were a joke. The pry bar scarred trying to get the face off the iPhone and started to break when I tried using it to pry. I ended up using a suction cup. I HIGHLY recommend using a suction cup to remove the face of the iPhone! SO much easier!!! By the time I got to the battery itself it was glued to the bottom of the back panel and that's where the pry bar snapped. I was trying to loosen the battery up around the edges and it just snapped. I ended up using a flossing pick to get the battery pried loose and out, lol! It was stronger than the pry tool that I got in the package if that tells you anything. The price was right. It came in at just under $10 after shipping costs. It took 10 days to get the product. That was a bit of a let down for such a giant site. I could have had it from NewEgg in 3 days for a couple dollars more. That'll teach me for going the cheaper route, lol. 10 days isn't that long but when you rely on your phone for appointments, contacts and everything else and the battery starts to die quickly that 10 days seems like an eternity, lol. All in all, it beat paying Apple $** to do something you can do yourself as long as you're careful and patient:-)
These are excellent tools for the iPhone. Perfect battery too and at a perfect cost.
I purchased this to replace the current battery in my 3gs phone. After installing this battery my phone continually rebooted and would never keep a charge. I removed and reinstalled the battery several time, and even updated the firmware on the phone several time to see if that was the issue. None of this fixed the problem, so i reinstalled the old battery and everthing is back to normal. I will just keep the old battery in the phone till i get a new phone next year. As for the installation tools, the screw drivers are great, but the pry tool is a piece of junk. I have replace the screen before on the 3gs and the suction cup is a much easier method to remove the screen from the case than trying to pry it with this toool.

The National Association of Chain Drug Stores Foundation raised $1.77 million for scholarships, research and charitable activities from 114 benefactors at the 13th Annual NACDS Foundation Dinner.
Retail News Breaks Archives
ALEXANDRIA, Va. – The National Association of Chain Drug Stores Foundation raised $1.77 million for scholarships, research and charitable activities from 114 benefactors at the 13th Annual NACDS Foundation Dinner.
NACDS said that funds generated by the dinner, held Tuesday evening in New York City, support efforts to improve patient health and quality of life by fostering an understanding of prescription medicines, promoting medication adherence, enhancing patient care services at community pharmacies and educating future health care professionals.
Among the foundation's work, donations support the new Community Pharmacy Residency Expansion Project (PREP) to provide grants to colleges and schools of pharmacy for the development of 30 fully accredited post-graduate residencies.
Separately, the NACDS Foundation presents more than $500,000 in scholarships to pharmacy students annually.
"Consumers can benefit by better understanding their medicines, and tomorrow's pharmacists will play an even greater role in advancing the public health through enhanced innovative services and care," new NACDS Foundation president Kathleen Jaeger said in a statement. "The NACDS Foundation helps fulfill those necessities by leading an unparalleled effort to improve the public health through community outreach and fostering educational opportunities for the next generation's pharmacy leaders."
At the dinner, CBS Evening News anchor and managing editor Scott Pelley delivered a keynote address informed by his decades of independent coverage of war-torn regions and access to the world's decision makers.
The NACDS Foundation has also teamed up with the National Consumers League on its Script Your Future medication adherence public education campaign, having contributed the largest single donation to this initiative at more than $1 million. Script Your Future has emerged as a top priority for U.S. Surgeon General Regina Benjamin, who also spoke at the dinner and reinforced the public health importance of medication compliance.

Summer Changes
Howdy Folks!
Dave Robison here, for Tex's Amway Global Blog.
Summer is here, or very nearly here, and I decided to spruce up Tex's Blog with a few changes.
You can now view some great photos of Texas in the side bar as well as catch up on the "goings on" in several of Texas' largest cities. Maybe you wanna plan a summer trip to The Lone Star State; and plan to attend one of the events.
Laying out under the stars on a warm summer night may be your passion--if so, I've included a gadget that will let you see some amazing photography of our galaxy. Too bad, a summer vacation there might not be in the cards for a few more years.
Of course, don't forget the regular features in the sidebar; Tex is always adding some comments to his Position Papers links. If you don't see a new blog entry in a couple of days, that doesn't mean you can't still mosey on over for a look at the blog and try out the new gadgets or read some new comments.
But, we won't mind if during part of the hot weather, you unplug from the Internet and take a dip like the boys in the photo from Burnet, Texas. Burnet, by the way, is the Bluebonnet capital of Texas.

Betcha can't guess which of the 4 dudes is me!
While you're in Texas, you ought to stop by and visit me as well, I can tell you all about the LCKs and their tool scams. Not planning on being in Texas? No problem, just click on the "TALK TO TEX" link and it will be almost as good as being here. - June 4, 2009 at 6:36 AM

Why can't "Bridgett" use the same logic she used to talk about government waste to describe the tool scam? She says,
"I'm wondering why the idea of REDUCING EXPENSES is not considered.
There is so much waste and corruption in governments. We, in America may APPEAR to be more "civilzed" but the bottom line is that the United States citizens are being taken for a ride just like in an overtly corrupt government.
Being from Illinois, from Cook County (Chicago), I will tell you that my tax dollars are NOT being used for the betterment of my county and my state. And the Federal government (esp. now that we've got the Chicago Machine in there) is the same deal just on a bigger scale.
Do I want to "help the poor?" ABSOLUTELY! However, I am much more willing to donate my money, and have most (usu 95% for good charities) of it go to the people in need, than to be taxed on my money and have a teeny tiny bit go to those of it in need, while the rest go to a select few polititians, and their friends and family who have "patronage" jobs and contracts.
Living right next to Cicero, a freakin' third-world-country-run town and seeing the INSANE abuse of power. Which hooks right in to Chicago, and in to Illinois, and Washington D.C. Having someone close to me who covered that town for three years for the Chicago Tribune and just seeing the magnitude of the corruption...ug. And, of course, this isnt some isolated incident. When you've got big piles of Other People's Money (OPM), which that's what Government is, there is corruption and waste.
Dont' even get me started!

ibofb has an interesting video on his site which is supposed to represent what happens with Amway, and does, in limited cases:
However, this is before the tool scam becomes known. The video doesn't continue. If it did, it would show how everyone walks away after the tool scam becomes known, with 99+% losing money.
Here's a better representation for most IBOs, because many more people are becoming aware of the tool scam:
LOL - June 10, 2009 at 10:53 AM
Now that I've been booted off another lame blog/forum:
http://forums.randi.org/showthread.php?p=4858684#post4858684 I will respond to the below point:
corplinx - I read Tex's blog. I don't understand why anyone would continue to operate in a business so rife with fraud, coercion, and heavy handedness as he describes it. ---- This person obviously only skimmed my blog, as I clearly state in several places my "prime directive" is to take down the tool scam, and have elected to do that by driving a wedge between Amway and the LCKs. I took this approach way before the UK took the same approach, and now the LCKs have disappeared from UK soil. - June 30, 2009 at 10:09 AM
Adding to the above point, I am taking action to prevent others from being financially and otherwise abused by the LCKs. corplinx can't seem to understand there are still people in the world helping other people.

Arrested: John D. Odenwalt, 31, Mountain Home
Charges:Possession of a Controlled substance (Meth)(F), Possession of Drug Paraphernalia (m), Driving Without Privileges (DWP)(m), Resisting and Obstructing (m)
Boise Police on patrol last night (November 2nd) at approximately 6:30 p.m. saw and heard a vehicle travelling west on Kootenai Street with extremely loud amplified music in apparent violation of Boise City Noise Ordinance. As officers began to make a U-turn to maneuver behind the vehicle in preparation to conduct a traffic stop, the driver of the suspect vehicle accelerated and turned north onto Owyhee st. Officers soon located the suspect vehicle abandoned on the 1100 block of S. Owyhee Street. Officers located the driver minutes later walking on foot near Edson and Cassia Streets. Officers noted that the suspect had discarded items of clothing including a shirt and hat. At first, Odelwalt refused to comply with instructions given by police. He was eventually taken into custody with no further incident. Officers later determined the suspect had a suspended drivers license. Officers recovered the discarded clothing from a nearby street. A Boise Police K-9 alerted on the abandoned vehicle indicating the likely presence of drugs. A search of the vehicle revealed a container with several plastic baggies containing approximately 13.5 grams total package weight of Meth. The suspect was booked at the Ada County Jail on the above listed charges.
Boise City Ordinance - Section 6-20-03 NOISE PROHIBITIONSIt shall be unlawful for any person to operate or permit the operation of any loud amplification device in such a manner that the sound therefrom: A. is plainly audible within any place of residence not the source of the sound, or, B. is plainly audible upon a public right-of-way or street at a distance of one hundred (100) feet or more from the source of such sound.
Warrant Arrested: Selina O. Chocktoot, 48, Boise
Warrant Charges: Exploitation of a Vulnerable Adult (F)
The suspect was taken into custody on an outstanding felony warrant for Exploitation of a Vulnerable Adult yesterday.
The arrest warrant stems from an ongoing investigation the theft of funds from an elderly male victim. Evidence indicates the suspect was involved in obtaining the funds from the victim in his 90's in 2008. The victim and suspect shared a home during part of the time the suspect is accused of taking the funds. That investigative information was forwarded to the Ada County Prosecuting Attorney's Office and resulted in the felony warrant. No further information is available at this time.

Texas Rangers slugger Adrian Beltre was quick to react when asked about former teammate Eric Gagne's claim that 80 percent of the Dodgers used performance-enhancing drugs while Gagne and Beltre played in Los Angeles.
"He should have mentioned names," Beltre said. "I know for sure I'm not one of them. I haven't read the book. I'm not interested in it. He should have come up with names instead of a percentage."
The two were teammates from 1999 to 2004 and when Beltre hit a career-high 48 home runs in 2004.
Gagne, who was named in the 2007 Mitchell Report, admitted to using HGH during his record-setting performance in 2003 when he saved 55 games and won the 2003 NL Cy Young Award.
Gagne made the claims in an French autobiography called Game Over: The Story of Gagne.
Don't expect Beltre to get a signed copy. "My French is not too good," Beltre said, in reference to the book.
Beltre is in the running for the AL MVP Award this season. He's batting .315 with 35 HR and 98 RBI.

Environmental Justice Certificate
The University of Michigan has a long-standing commitment to the academic study of Environmental Justice. It is the site of the first environmental justice curriculum of any major university in the nation.
Environmental Justice refers to cultural norms and values, rules, regulations, behaviors, and policies that determine whether people will have confidence that their environment is safe, nurturing and productive. Environmental Justice is most successful when there are no environmental barriers to one's personal or collective potential; it is supported by decent paying and safe jobs, quality schools and recreation, decent housing and adequate health-care, democratic decision-making, personal empowerment, and communities free of the violence that often emerges from poverty. Environmental Justice communities are characterized by respect for cultural and biological diversity and a commitment to distributive justice.
The certificate coordinator is Associate Professor Rebecca Hardin.
The objectives of the Environmental Justice Certificate Plan are to provide fundamental skills and knowledge; methods and applications of Environmental Justice to enhance the education of students from a wide-range of relevant disciplines at the University of Michigan. The objectives are as follows:
1. Examine the historical, scientific, social, legal, cultural, and political complexities of the relationship between people and the built and natural environment. Examine past research on the environment and design new research to study and enhance our knowledge of how race, class and gender affect our environmental experiences, attitudes and perceptions, and influence how we construct environmental discourses.
2. Master research methods and approaches to rigorously study perspectives about and impediments to safe, sustainable communities for all people.
3. Communicate effectively in written, oral and visual forms to a wide variety of audiences, both academic and popular or policy-oriented. This goal entails two more concrete objectives:
3a. Participate in efforts to educate policymakers, educators, lawmakers, health professionals, industry leaders, and the public about environmental inequalities.
3b. Participate in educational and strategic planning efforts to help communities take effective action to ameliorate harmful environmental conditions.
The Certificate Plan consists of five courses totaling 15 credit hours. Five three-credit courses are required, with two selected from the list of four core courses, and the rest selected according to student interests and competing requirements. In the selection of the third, fourth, and fifth courses, the student's advisor will work with the Environmental Justice Certificate Coordinating Committee and the student to arrive at the most appropriate courses to be taken. Additionally, an experience related to the goals of the certificate that is defined and approved by the Environmental Justice certificate faculty coordinator (Rebecca Hardin) is required. The experience must be planned with the faculty coordinator and may include (and is not limited to) a professional experience, participation in an on-campus event, or engagement with a community organization. Students already enrolled in a Rackham or non-Rackham graduate degree program must complete at least one term before applying.
The four core courses, from which students should select two:
1. NRE 593 Environmental Justice: Research and Policy Developments (3 Cr)
2. NRE 582 Conceptions, Practical Issues, and Environmental Justice (3 Cr) (Cross-listed with Social Work and Urban Planning)
3. NRE 501 Environmental Justice: Theoretical Approaches (3 Cr)
4. NRE 501 Conservation Justice (formerly conservation anthropology) (3 Cr) (Cross-listed with Cultural Anthropology and permanent course number pending)
The remaining nine credits may be selected from a long list of courses. Although not exclusive, a list of courses that would be considered appropriate for certificate students to take would include the following. Courses not on this list would need approval by the Environmental Justice Plan Coordinator.
1. LAW 889 Race, Poverty and the American City (2 Cr)
2. SW 846 Seminar: Poverty, the Underclass and Public Policy (3 Cr)
3. POLSCI 730 Women and Employment Policy (3 Cr)

Maidened mine at the slope today and it flys very well in my opinion, and that is comparing it to an (un)powered mouldie of similar span and appearance. Responds well to slope and thermal lift but the CG is way too forward. I have added some lead to the tail and have used a small battery (1300 mAh) on purpose to keep it light and move the CG back, and it is still nose heavy.
Don't expect hotliner performance, how can you guys - come on ! For my purposes, it should fit the bill very nicely. I wanted something to complement my Parkzone Radian for flat field soaring when the wind is 10mph + |

Jimmy, V-Tail mixer module.... http://www.micronradiocontrol.co.uk/accessories.html
One thing I did notice with my Blaze is that it can be very hard to tell which way it's going, at low altitude..especially on a gray day...I don't know how the hotliner mouldie boys do it when their planes are probably doing twice the speed of the Blaze. |

OK think I have set my heart on one of these babies !!! Thanks dekan for the V tail mixer unit info, will get one of those !!!
My question to you guys with experience is I am used to flying my Parkzone Brushless Mustang and Trojan T28....do you think this Blaze is a little to hot for me or do you think I will do fine, at the end of the day you dont have to fly it like your hair is on fire !!! will it fly sedately until I get used to it at which point I can let rip and scream around !!! lol Cheers, Jim. |

It has quite a good glide and the longer span wing means that you must land it fairly flat otherwise a wing tip may dig in and cartwheel it |
