Hijacking your thread for a minute
I have a ross Mt Whitney I bought in 95? It's aluminum,chrome moly fork,16" frame I believe,with 26" tires. It has all deore lx components ritchie wheels and tires I paid about $650 when I bought it,any idea what it's worth now? It needs brake pads and a cable adjustment,but still has good tread on original tires. I realize it is not an american made ross,but it had the same components as bikes costing much more,at that time,so I bought it. |

It'll strengthen your core a fair amount. Stems are available in all kinds of lengths and angles to make it comfy. Specialized makes one that uses a shim to change the angle 6 different ways so you can make it way up or way down and anywhere in between.

Look for a used Specialized maybe a Hardrock and slap some road tires on it. You should be able to pick one of these up between $200-300 and some decent road tires will run you another $40. This is a good way to put some miles on the road and in a few minutes you can swap the tires out, throw the bike in the back of the 4x4 and go trail riding.

both my little one's are racing Haro's on the BMX track, Haro still makes good bikes. JohnnyJ kids don't have the boner's for bikes like we did when we were kids, the only kids that even know if they have a cool bike are the ones I see at the bmx tracks on the weekends, or at the dirt jump's, or at the Downhill races I go to....EVERY neighborhood kid these days just rides walmart shit....
But, if you still want to spend the money on an expensive bmx bike for your boy check out something like dan's comp. They have a lot of quality brands. |

I use the app Badass Battery Monitor to check my battery usage. I've been checking for a while which apps might be using up my battery, but it all seems normal. The only thing that seems abnormal is the amount of battery my phone's kernel uses up. The app says the kernel is taking anywhere from about 25%-35%. Is this range too high? The screen's usage is usually only at about 20-30%. I keep 4g data on and not 3g. I don't know why the kernel is taking up this much battery. Nor do I fully understand what a kernel is, but I feel that it shouldn't consume that much battery.
The kernel is the lowest level of the operating system, it's the framework upon which the Android OS runs, and depending on what you may have running in the background. At times it might not show up on the list, others it can be a major drain. Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk with speech to text translation. Please excuse any minor grammatical/punctuation/spelling errors.
Also remember its not using 25-30% of your battery. Its using 25-30% of the battery used so far. So if you're at 70% battery left the kernel is only using 25-30% of the 30% used. If you're not using your phone much then low level stuff will be all that's using anything. With your screen % so low I can assume you're not a heavy user and hence why some lower level things are even showing. Sent from my DROID3 using Tapatalk 2
I also use bad###battery monitor and have the same kernal usage but my battery is fine. I easily get a full day with moderate to heavy use with anywhere from 4-6 hours of screen on time. Yesterday was a heavy usage day where I used GPS for about 2 hours and my daughter watched a Netflix movie plus some calls and texts and after 17 hours I still had 30% left with a total if 4 hours and 50 minutes of screen on time , mostly using 4G. So I'm not to concerned about it. Now the best paet is if I need to stretch I turn 4G off and can stretch for 2 days with light use. Never could have done it with any other Android device before. So I have to assume that its normal. I dont really know why I monitor battery anymore, I have a hard time killing this thing. Lol Sent from my Droid RAZR MAXX
Both excellent representations. The percentages often confuse people so if you were thinking it was pulling that much of the battery's actual capacity, you're not alone.

Theyskens' Theory Fall 2012
>> Olivier Theyskens has hit his stride at Theory. For Fall 2012, the designer worked just the right bit of darkness into the label's signature streamlined silhouettes. Whisper-sheer, trumpet-shaped skirts floated ethereally beneath sharp-cut blazers; and slouchy, wide-legged trousers paired effortlessly with leather, brocade, and knit. But best of all were the designer's signature gowns, which looked understated — and totally stunning — in sparkling sheers, structured taffetas, and printed silks.

text: I'm looking at possible users for sqlite3. In the book, qt-3.3.8b has sqlite as an optional external dependency. But, the current version appears NOT to be able to use a 'system' sqlite3. It says it finds sqlite, but that by default it is not enabled. So, I added '-plugin-sql-sqlite' to the configure, built it, and did an INSTALL_ROOT to review it. I was expecting it to be like qt4 (i.e., that the file plugins/sqldrivers/libsqlite.so links to libsqlite3.so), but ldd doesn't show that. I then looked at the log, but all the references to sqlite are using the *internal* copy. Reviewed configure options - nothing. Looked at fedora, gentoo, debian - they just use the plugin option I'd already tried. Then I looked a bit further into the configure script. sqlite) if [ -f $relpath/src/3rdparty/sqlite/sqlite.h ]; then CFG_SQL_AUTODETECTED="$CFG_SQL_AUTODETECTED sqlite" fi ;; In other words, the 'detected' message means the tarball's copy was found. According to sqlite.h it is version 2.8.13. At this point, I start to wonder if I'm missing something obvious. Opensuse don't build against sqlite, and they stopped doing so back in 2004 on the grounds that the included version was broken. Finally, the questions : has anyone built a recent version of qt3 using an external sqlite3 ? Have I indeed missed something obvious ? Should we drop the link to sqlite on the qt3 page ? ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, das andere Mal als Farce

Tie-dye is a colorful pattern used on clothing. It is made by tying a piece of clothing into a tight bundle, and then dying it with various colors. This became very popular in the 60's and 70's. It was often made to represent signs like 'peace' and 'flower power'.

Comments: I bought this racquet new and tried all summer to use it. For me, it seemed sluggish and lacking power.
It is, indeed, a heavier racquet, but is headlight, and is less stable unless you always hit the ball dead-center in the strings. Sold it
online. Did nothing at all for my game.
Comments: I love it! Great power!
Comments: Bought this racquet two weeks ago and really like it so far. I have Lux 4G in the mains and Babolat
XCel in the crosses, and it's a nice setup I think. My shots have good pop and depth, and my serves feel like they're coming out of
a rocket launcher. What I did was take the grip off and replace it with a Head Hydrosorb Tour grip and then put the Wilson
Advantage overgrip over that, and it feels great. Very soft and plush, and I feel like I can do anything I want with no ill effects on
my hands or joints. I'm going to try putting the Luxilon in the crosses and a different multifilament string in the mains. Not sure I
like the Lux in the mains, but that's neither here nor there. The racquet is a good one for players with a big game and who like to
Comments: I have played with the Babolat APD for 3 years and it hurt my elbow, shoulder and arm. So I switched a
month ago to this Juice 100 and am amazed. It is far superior.
Comments: Almost the same amount of power as the BLX, maybe a bit more.

Asia Entertainment & Resources Ltd. Announces Pre IPO Enquiry In Relation To AERL's Feasibility Of A Dual Listing In Hong Kong
Asia Entertainment & Resources Ltd. ("AERL or the "Company), which operates through its subsidiaries and related promoter companies as VIP room gaming promoters, today announced that it has engaged an investment bank and a Hong Kong law firm for a Pre IPO enquiry in relation to seeking a dual listing of its securities in Hong Kong.
About Asia Entertainment & Resources Ltd.

Forward-Looking Statements
This press release includes forward-looking statements made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 that involve risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements are statements that are not historical facts. Such forward-looking statements, based upon the current beliefs and expectations of AERL's management, are subject to risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual results to differ from the forward-looking statements. The gaming industry is characterized by an element of chance. Theoretical win rates for AERL's VIP room gaming promoters' VIP gaming room operations depend on a variety of factors, some beyond their control. In addition to the element of chance, theoretical win rates are also affected by other factors, including gaming patrons' skill and experience, the mix of games played, the financial resources of gaming patrons, the spread of table limits, the volume of bets placed by AERL's VIP room gaming promoters' gaming patrons and the amount of time gaming patrons spend on gambling — thus VIP gaming rooms' actual win rates may differ greatly over short time periods, such as from quarter to quarter, and could cause their quarterly results to be volatile. These factors, alone or in combination, have the potential to negatively impact the VIP gaming rooms' win rates. Investors and potential investors should consult all of the information set forth herein and should also refer to the risk factors set forth in AERL's Annual Report on Form 20-F filed on March 16, 2012, and other reports filed or to be filed from time-to-time with the Securities and Exchange Commission.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

A century ago, Americans searched for the meaning of patriotism.
This Fourth of July photo shows the Hedlund family of St. Paul in 1911.
Photo: Star Tribune file image, RPA - Minneapolis Star Tribune
Reprinted from the July 4, 1904, edition of the Minneapolis Tribune.
In the early days of the republic, the Fourth of July was a political sacrament. It was universally called Independence Day.
That simple but expressive name has nearly disappeared, except from the stilted oratory to which few listen. It was celebrated in primitive rural fashion, even in the most considerable cities of the time. Sophisticated Americans of today smile to read of the train bands, the barbecues, the patriotic picnics, the spread eagle speeches, and the clumsy canon and anvil firing through which the unsophisticated Americans of that time expressed their patriotic emotions.
But the patriotic feeling was genuine, however crudely it was expressed. The feeling itself was a sign of sound national life and the expression of it was a wholesome exercise in the training of a citizen. How much genuine patriotic emotion is behind the more sophisticated and strenuous means by which Americans celebrate the Fourth of July today?
Patriotic feelings remain in the American breast, as we prove in every grave crisis of affairs, whether political or military. But we have grown ashamed of the old, simple, straightforward expression of it in Independence Day oratory and social exercise. We celebrate the Fourth of July with far more vigor than formerly, but how many of us remember that it is Independence Day or draw any lesson of patriotism from the celebration?
It has become a holiday without meaning. To most of us it is only a day to knock off work. To many it is a day to seek innocent recreation in the country. To some it is a day to indulge gross appetites. To a large number, it is a day of horror when quiet citizens must lock themselves in their houses like medieval burgesses when a guild riot broke out.
The simple noises and the rude sports of an early time, which were tolerated for the effervescent patriotism they expressed, have grown to a saturnalia of deafening clatter and maddening shocks, dangerous always to the sanity and often to the life and limb, which expresses nothing but irregulated boyish spirit and lawless temper.
This has gone so far that the mortality of the day exceeds that of a modern battle. The last Fourth of July cost nearly 500 lives and inflicted injuries less than death on nearly 4,000 persons. No one would grudge these lives lost and injuries suffered in any useful service to the nation. No one grudged the few train band and artillery firing accidents of the olden time any more than we grudge the lives of sailors killed in target practice.
But the modern celebration has lost all color of national feeling, all guise of a patriotic sacrament. The significance of the day has been forgotten and its lesson lost.
Its primitive meaning remains only in the minds of a few who shrink from its noise and riot. To the multitude, it has become only a day of freedom from toil. To the lawless, old and young, it has become only a day of license. We have none too many holidays of rest, and it is well that the Fourth of July should remain as a day of innocent recreation.
But it is time to abolish it as a day of license. If we have lost the sacrament, let us put an end to the desecration. Let us not spend the lives of our children for a purpose so trivial and unworthy. A beginning has been made in many states this year, which we think will soon put an end to the annual massacre of the Fourth of July.

On May 28, my husband would have been 67 years old. My children and their families put balloons on his grave and a stepping stone under the tree near his grave. We only left them a few hours because of the cemetery's rules. I went back to take the balloons off and they had been stolen. The stepping stone stayed almost four days.
If you have a garden, chances are you appreciate nature in all its glory. But, sometimes nature gets in the way of our desires to cultivate. Deer browsing, rabbit munching, squirrel digging, mole trenching and resident vole feasting have all come up in the last two weeks. While I have no silver bullet for any of these problems I do have some practical approaches to offset the shared feasting on our gardens.
I would like to address a problem we are having in our Battle Grove Cemetery. No, it is not with the caretakers. I know that sometimes we don't agree with things, but there is no graveyard that I know of that looks as good as ours does all year round, even in the winter.
Chasteen calls state tourney
Local resident Steve Chasteen was tabbed to umpire in his third KHSAA Fast Pitch Softball State Tournament three weeks ago in Owensboro. This time, Chasteen was selected to be one of the four umpires given the task of calling the championship game(s).
He called five games through the course of the 16-team, double-elimination tournament, and was assigned second base in the first championship game between Owensboro Catholic and Louisville Mercy.

Distribution Amplifier
These high performance distribution amplifiers feature specifications such as a true one-to-one ratio, no signal loss, low noise, low distortion and unity gain.
I've installed several of these, and it does just what it says. No noise introduced, and reliable. I have used these for restaurant background music, in larger installations requiring several amps, and this is just the ticket to distribute a line level signal. This is the only amp like this on the market at this price point, and I'm glad it's around. I will continue to use this product gladly.
We have 6 of the A/v 700 DA. They all function well and have been in seady use since May of '09 and show no appreciable signal loss even when using all 7 outs.

WNBA Scores
Saturday, Aug 3rd
10:00 PM ET, August 3, 2013
US Airways Center, Phoenix, AZ
Although Angel McCoughtry is one of the WNBA's top scorers, the Atlanta Dream still need others to step up with two other key players out.
They hope Alex Bentley can provide that lift moving forward.Short-handed Atlanta tries to snap a four-game road skid against Brittney Griner and the Phoenix Mercury on Saturday night.The Dream (11-5) looked like the class of the league with a 10-1 start. But Tiffany Hayes (10.8 ppg) and Sancho Lyttle (14.3 ppg) suffered injuries and haven't played since June 30 and July 9, respectively, and will still be out Saturday.Atlanta dropped four in a row from July 9-July 21 -- all on the road -- including losses at Minnesota and Tulsa by a combined 49 points.However, the Dream entered the All-Star break feeling slightly better with a 74-65 home win over Connecticut on July 24. McCoughtry -- the league's second-leading scorer at 20.3 points per game -- put together a typical performance with 22 points, but Bentley, who entered averaging 7.7 points, stepped up by matching a season high with 17."Alex is really helping our team with Sancho and Tiffany being out, so she's going to get better and better," McCoughtry said of the rookie from Penn State. "She's young and she's learning the game, but she's done well so far."The break seemed to come at a good time for Phoenix (9-10), which came in with losses in five of six. But even with Griner back after missing five games with a sprained left knee -- albeit in limited minutes -- the Mercury opened the season's second half with an 88-79 loss at Seattle on Thursday.Griner finished with 11 points, four rebounds and four blocks in 18 minutes as she played for the first time since July 7."She could only play four minutes a quarter," coach Corey Gaines said.DeWanna Bonner had 19 points, nine rebounds and seven assists while Diana Taurasi was 3 of 10 for 10 points -- more than 11 below her league-leading average -- and fouled out with 2:59 left.One of the league's highest scoring teams at 82.8 points per game, the Mercury have been slowed recently, averaging 75.0 points while losing three in a row.Atlanta has the league's second-best defense, limiting opponents to 72.8 points per game. The Dream's 11.3 steals lead the league, with McCoughtry and Armintie Herrington first and third at 3.3 and 2.6, respectively.Each team has five wins in the all-time series, though Atlanta won both meetings last season. Bonner averaged 24.5 points, 12.5 rebounds and 4.5 steals for the Mercury.

Gaiam To Divest Its Entertainment Media Distribution Business In Sale To Cinedigm Corp. For $51.5 Million Plus A Net Working Capital Adjustment
Gaiam, Inc. (NASDAQ: GAIA) ("the Company"), a lifestyle media company, today announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement to sell its non-branded entertainment media distribution business ("GVE") to Cinedigm Corp. (NASDAQ: CIDM) for $51.5 million. The sale price also includes an adjustment for closing net working capital that is expected to total approximately $5 million to $7 million in additional cash consideration. The transaction is expected to be consummated next week, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions. The Company is retaining all its Gaiam branded media business.
Following the consummation of the transaction, Gaiam will focus on its two core businesses, the Company's branded health and wellness business, including Gaiam branded fitness media content and products, which have a presence in over 40,000 retail doors, as well as the Company's branded e-commerce platform, and on Gaiam TV, the Company's streaming video subscription business. Gaiam TV currently provides over 5,000 exclusive video titles, including films, documentaries and original programming dedicated to conscious media, personal growth, and spirituality, and has the world's largest online library of yoga, fitness, and wellness videos. Gaiam continues to be the leader in U.S. health and wellness media with an approximate 40% market share over the twelve month period ended September 30, 2013.
Gaiam intends to utilize the proceeds from the transaction to fully pay down the outstanding borrowings under its existing credit facility, which are estimated to be approximately $10 million net of related cash inflows between the transaction signing and consummation dates, and to pursue organic and potential acquisition growth initiatives for the Company's core businesses. The Company does not expect to pay taxes on the sale, as it intends to utilize a portion of its net operating loss carry forwards to fully offset any income tax gain.
Lynn Powers, Chief Executive Officer of Gaiam, commented, "Monetizing the value of our non-branded entertainment media distribution business reflects our strategic emphasis on pursuing growth in our core health and wellness and Gaiam TV businesses. Since combining Vivendi Entertainment with our existing entertainment media distribution operations in March 2012, we have achieved our goal of growing GVE to become the leading independent - and second largest overall - distributor of non-theatrical content in the U.S. by bringing added scale and operational synergies to the business, making GVE a more unique, valuable and attractive asset. The value we are realizing from this transaction represents a good return for our shareholders and further strengthens our balance sheet and financial flexibility. Our strong financial profile and targeted business focus favorably positions the Company to invest its management and financial resources to achieve growth both organically and through acquisitions within our core operations."

Sylvie, Marketing Rotation Program
When did you join Dell and what roles have you held in your time here?
I joined Dell in February 2007. I first joined as an Online Merchandising Manager but then very quickly shifted into Marketing Communication roles. I have been able to work for multiple segments (including Global, Public, and Higher Education segments), and these positions gave me the possibility to move from a role dedicated to the French market to EMEA roles and global ones.
Tell us about the career development opportunities at Dell and what inspired you to apply for the Marketing Rotation Program?
When I learned about the launch of the MRP, I decided to apply as I wanted to improve my skills, learn new ones, and experience other areas of marketing at Dell. I saw this program as a good way for me to be able to broaden my experience at Dell, working in different marketing departments and in different countries. The MRP was a great opportunity to understand better how our Marketing Organization is structured and how the different teams are working together. This program opened up new horizons for me and was also a good way for me to take on new challenges, improve my leadership skills, and boost my career.
What has been the best part about participating in MRP?
The best part of the Marketing Rotation Program has been discovering new marketing departments and learning new skills such as global communication and services marketing. I was able to spend my first year in Austin which was an amazing experience for me. Not only because I was able to live abroad, but also because I experienced working in Dell's headquarters, which provided me with a completely different perspective. Being part of this program really enabled me to grow.
What has been your most rewarding project so far in your career at Dell?
When I was working inside the Global Communication team, I was in charge of PR for our Giving programs. I was part of the core team who was working on the announcement of the launch of our new "Powering the Possible" program for pediatric cancer care. All people working on this project (the CSR team, the marketing team, the Healthcare PR team) were so passionate and motivated to make this launch the best it could be! We all worked collaboratively to make this launch a big success. This was a wonderful experience for me professionally as it was the first time I was managing PR, and personally I was really proud to be part of this amazing story.
How would you describe the Dell culture?
Dell is a company centered around our customers. What we do as a team every day is to enable our customers to access to the best technology solutions that can help them achieve what they want to do. And Dell is integrating its people as one of the most powerful elements to its success. Dell provides a positive working environment where everyone is encouraged to take time to understand where they want to go and provide all the tool and help to really meet their career goals.
Describe your Dell experience using 5 words.
Collaboration, open-minded, positivity, achievement, thriving
What advice would you give others who are considering applying for one of Dell's Development programs?
These programs are just a glimpse into the wonderful tools and opportunities that Dell gives to our employees to enable them to improve their skills, learn more, and open their minds to new area of the business.

Banzaicon was AMAZING. The con was intimate, unique and incredibly fun. We had an amazing reception there, I would have never imagined that so many people wanted to meet us from all over the place. A huge thank you to everyone who came to our panels. They were all full, including the 10am ones (which UBER impressed me, cause even Nova and I were tired for those XD). Everyone was so friendly, funny and a pleasure to be around
I want to give a special thanks to the Banzaicon staff who were incredibly professional, accommodating and took perfect care of us while we were there. The con had so many things that I had never seen at other cons, which was especially impressive because it was a small-size con.
We had an amazing time in Norway in general as well, everyone we met was so nice!
All the people at the con were so wonderful. We got so many lovely gifts as well! Thank you to everyone for making us feel so welcome and thank you so much for having us! TAKK~!
I can't even begin to write down the con highlights, so it's PICTURE TIME! XD
Me in Larvik's famous birch forest that we explored on Friday before the con started.
The MC, Eirik, doing his thing on stage before one of our panels.
Me and DarkSideAlex!
Team 7 and Kiba! Awesome Shiruvya and BreakDownFences as Sasuke and Naruto/Sakura (they share an account I think )
Sexy dance timez with Eirik.
Our team (Takk Kylling... meaning "thank you chicken in Norwegian XD) during the anime quiz
AND THEN TEAM THANK YOU CHICKEN WON the anime quiz! XD We were surprised too!
And finally, us at the closing ceremonies presenting the Banzaicon organizers (Kris and Martin as well as the creator, Martine) with the most Canadian gift we could think of... maple syrup
We had an incredible time, and I really can't wait to see some of our Banzaicon friends again at Alcon!!!! 8D I hope that we get a chance to return to Norway for another Banzaicon, it was so much fun! I miss everyone already
Vancouver FanExpo
It's our third con in a row, but I just purchased tickets so we're going! Not 100% sure what we're bringing. We're thinking Eden of the East (Akira and Saki) on Saturday and then I may do Kiba or Ichigo on Sunday. I figure I'd mind as well wear a cosplay from Banzaicon since they're all out and ready to go XD
I would wear X-Men again, but Nightcrawler is too uncomfortable (and in pieces atm XD) to wear for a full day without a hotel room nearby to change at.
To those of you who are going, I hope to see you there!
Next on the list after FanExpo is Fanime in late May. So it's back to costume making right after FanExpo XD this has been one heck of a con season! haha I'm REALLY looking forward to Fanime, though. It's always a good-times con :3

I am looking for information on a Santos Silvas (early 1900's-?) from Starr County in TX. He married a Barbarita Salazar (circa 1903-1925) with whom he had a son named Flavio Silvas (1925-1980). My family has no other information except that my great-gma Barbarita may have died giving birth to my g-pa, Flavio. On FLavio's baptismal record (the only record we have) one of the witnesses is a Frutoso Salazar who could be related to Barbarita, maybe a brother or her father but we're not sure. If anyone has any information, it would be a great help. Flavio ended up in Corpus Christi, TX for a number of years before settling with his wife, Aurora Rodriguez, and 18 kids in Lubbock, TX. Again...any info would help!? Thanks Notify Administrator about this message?

Shocking reports late last year showed almost half of Japanese men urinated while sitting down in their toilets at home. http://mdn.mainichi.jp/culture/waiwai/news/20080118p2g00m0dm006000c.html LOL :bricks:
"In response to that, our company in 2006 came out with the industry's largest toilet seats to make it easier for men to sit down and relieve themselves in comfort." I've seen asian porn. They don't need bigger seats.
well, I know a European lady who request that her male quests sit while peeing. Her reasoning is that it is healthy because nothing splatters on the floor. Everyone is different. I respect her reasoning. Japanese people are very clean people from what I have observed from several trips. Maybe this has something to do with it. There are other reasons particular to the culture.
I pee standing up and i leave the bathroom clean after i peed ( buy cleaning products ), it's only pigs who are dirty , and i will never change and nobody will change me, because it is an Unatural thing for me to do.
I live in a permanent Master/Slave BDSM arrangement with my master Hector and he makes me sit to pee all the time. It's really not that bad.

Romano: A small court case might be a big sign for medical marijuana
03/04/15CriminalSometimes, change arrives dramatic and loud. And sometimes, it is as understated as two simple words.
Not guilty.
With that declaration, a Broward County jury may eventually have as much impact on Florida's medical marijuana debate as all of the advertising and shouting that preceded last fall's failed constitutional amendment.
For what is believed to be the first time in state history, a jury has accepted a medical necessity defense in a marijuana trial. And so Jesse Teplicki, a 50-year-old marine mechanic who says he suffers from chronic anorexia, avoided a potential five-year prison term for having 46 cannabis plants growing in his home....
Romano: In Medicaid battle of wills between state House, feds, the poor lose
03/02/15LegislatureAs lawmakers show up for a new Legislative session this morning in Tallahassee, let's review where we stand on the issue of Medicaid expansion:
In the past week, the state's Senate majority leader and a spokesperson in the governor's office both sounded the alarm about a looming budget calamity.
Safety net hospitals are growing increasingly nervous about the potential loss of $1 billion in federal funds, and nearly 1 million residents are still without health insurance....
Romano: Crime statistics dispute need for guns on college campuses
02/28/15CrimeBeware of the sex offenders!
The murderers, terrorists and crazies, too!
The folks supporting legislation to allow guns on college campuses want everyone to know about all of the dangers potentially lurking behind every tree in the quad.
One thing they don't want you to know?
The truth.
And the simple truth is your sons and daughters are much safer on college campuses than almost any other place in pretty much any given city....
Romano: Smarter, not tougher, drug sentences
02/26/15PerspectiveTHREE YEARS AGO, the governor made a mistake. A costly, shortsighted, foolish mistake.
It was the summer of 2012, and states all around the nation were looking for ways to reform prison systems that were bleeding budgets and taxpayers dry.
In a rare burst of wisdom and cooperation, the Florida Legislature came together to pass a bill that would cut prison costs and, hopefully, slow the perpetual cycle of drug-addicted convicts booking return trips to jail cells. More than 97 percent of your state representatives and senators voted in favor of this commonsense bill....
Romano: Supreme Court says Enron law shouldn't catch Manatee County fisherman
02/25/15CourtsThe captain is older now, and spends more time on land than a fisherman should.
For John Yates, life has been irretrievably altered since that summer day in 2007 when a fish and wildlife officer boarded his boat in the Gulf of Mexico and accused the Manatee County man of catching undersized grouper.
What happened next is still disputed, but no one denies the fallout has been both chilling and far-reaching. Prosecutors accused Yates of destroying evidence by tossing a few fish overboard, and charged him under a law designed to go after Wall Street frauds....
Romano: Here's a novel idea — openness and transparency in Florida government
02/23/15LegislatureIn another era, this probably wouldn't qualify as news. In another state, it might go largely unnoticed.
But here in Florida, amid the most secretive, duplicitous, unapproachable administration Tallahassee has seen in years, it's darn near heroic.
State Sen. Jack Latvala, R-Clearwater, turned heads last week when he suggested a new formula for determining which pet projects might end up in the state budget....
Romano: Stadium teamwork is better in long run
02/21/15 Local GovernmentThe conversation seemed to go on forever. They talked about everything and managed to say nothing.
A St. Petersburg City Council workshop to discuss baseball stadium issues was minutes away from being a complete waste of time when a rare burst of common sense saved the day.
Charlie Gerdes stepped up first, and Darden Rice followed minutes later. It wasn't that they offered foolproof, beginning-to-end solutions. Trust me, we're a long way from that....
Romano: Students suffer when state refuses to budge on testing
02/18/15K12Fun fact about the new Florida Standards Assessments:
This highly anticipated replacement for the FCAT has never been given in Florida, and yet the state's Department of Education already knows how many students will fail it.
How does the state know?
Because it has arbitrarily decided to flunk a certain percentage of students, based on the number of children who failed the FCAT last year....
Romano: Rick Scott's handling of FDLE change puts new chief in bad spot
02/16/15GubernatorialThe cop deserved better. He deserved hallelujahs and huzzahs.
His career was distinguished, and his honor seemed impeccable. His latest promotion should have been greeted with widespread acclaim instead of questions and whispers.
So, yes, new Florida Department of Law Enforcement chief Rick Swearingen has every right to be angry.
He just needs to understand where his anger should be directed....
Romano: Medical pot groups' dilemma — get it done now or hold out for more?
02/14/15 State RoundupWhen is the time right to lower your fists? Do you accept an opponent's hand when it is offered, or do you keep swinging until the fight is completed?
Metaphorically speaking, this is medical marijuana's dilemma.
Legislation has been proposed that could make marijuana available to tens of thousands of patients throughout Florida, but not as accessible as supporters had once envisioned....
Romano: Real change for Florida's prisons require compassion
02/09/15CrimeOutrage has its limits. I get that.
There are only so many times you can be shocked, and only so many tears you can shed over the world's injustices.
So maybe you have glossed over the headlines of abuses, misdeeds, coverups and even deaths when it comes to the state's prison system.
Maybe you have had your fill of jailhouse sob stories, and maybe you secretly believe we only reap what we sow....
Romano: Chart future of St. Petersburg's Pier while remembering past lessons
02/07/15 Local GovernmentNostalgia doesn't play fair. It softens and blurs. It lies and distorts.
It can make an inverted building sitting atop an aged pier seem like a city's most loyal and trusted friend. And, naturally, the truth is much more complex than that.
I suppose that's important to remember as St. Petersburg embarks on the next phase for choosing a new pier on the city's waterfront. The past can be a valuable guide of days yet to come....
Romano: Impending freedom for priest in abuse scandal stuns victims
02/04/15CrimeAfter all these years, the lie had begun to seem real. Chris McCafferty had convinced himself the past had been put to rest, and distant memories could no longer touch him.
This, of course, was never quite true. And all it took was a single phone call to plunge him back into a world of doubt, fear, shame and anger.
The former Catholic priest who McCafferty said sexually abused him as a child in Pinellas Park is scheduled to be released from prison in nine days....
Romano: Backyard gun ranges — a dumb idea brought to you by your Legislature
02/02/15 Public SafetyOn one side of the fence there are tree houses. A sand box in the middle of the yard. Children laughing and running while friendly dogs bark and give chase.
On the other side of the fence is a makeshift gun range. A wooden pallet backed by a small mound of sand and some other pallets.
In between it all?
Residents in St. Petersburg's Lakewood Estates were horrified to discover one of their neighbors was planning to use a relatively small wooden target for shooting practice in his back yard. Their horror only grew when they discovered it appeared to be legal....
Romano: Lack of integrity hangs over FDLE mess
01/31/15PoliticsBased on what we know, there seem to be two possible conclusions about Gerald Bailey's departure as head of the Florida Department of Law Enforcement.
1. Gov. Rick Scott and/or his staff got approval from a Cabinet member, or Cabinet staff, to force Bailey's resignation. If this was the case, it would appear to be a clear violation of the Sunshine Law that requires such matters to be discussed in a public forum....

Kelly Rowland, Beyoncé's "adopted" sister in Destiny's Child, has fashioned a respectable solo career with "Dilemma," "Motivation" and David Guetta's "When Love Takes Over." On June 18, she'll drop her fourth album, "Talk a Good Game," touted as a return to R&B. That's obvious on the first two singles, the dreamy medium-tempo "Ice," featuring an R-rated rap by Lil Wayne, and the suggestive grinder "Kisses Down Below." The album also features a track, "You Changed," with all three members of the final incarnation of Destiny's Child. Also performing is The-Dream, best known for the hits he's written and produced for others, including "Single Ladies" and "Umbrella." (9 p.m. Thu., Myth, $33-$100.) Bream
Heiruspecs' outsized influence on the Twin Cities hip-hop scene is evident in the list of other musicians who employ its members, including Dessa and Brother Ali (and maybe even by the fact that Dessa and Brother Ali have backing bands). The five-piece live rap crew returned to the studio recently and will hit the stage for its fourth annual scholarship fundraiser for music students at St. Paul Central High, the group's alma mater. About $10,000 has been raised in previous years. Sean Anonymous, Whistle Kid and DJ Beatnick will also perform, along with some surprise guests. (10 p.m. Sat., First Avenue, $8-$10.) Riemenschneider
Though he still looks boyish, and maybe always will, jazz drummer and educator Phil Hey is celebrating his 60th birthday with a two-night stand. No Twin Cities drummer is more versatile, more reliable or more knowledgeable (and not just about music — Hey is an info bank on all manner of sports and his former hometown, Philadelphia). A veteran of Eddie Berger's Jazz All Stars, Tribute to Mingus and a host of fine bands, Philly Phil has long led a creative quartet of his own, one with unchanging personnel — Dave Hagedorn on vibraphone, pianist Phil Aaron and bassist Tom Lewis, savvy stalwarts all — but an ever-expanding repertoire. (9 p.m Fri.-Sat., Artists' Quarter, $10.) Tom Surowicz
You've got to hand it to guitarist, composer and West Bank School of Music/MacPhail prof Paul Renz. The guy never lacks for energy or initiative. This weekend he imports his old flute-playing pal from Sweden (via New York City) Anders Bostrom to kick off "Jazz at the Steeple Center," a new program at a former Rosemount church. Bostrom is an excellent Berklee-trained and Broadway-seasoned soloist, and Renz pens lots of fine material, some of it bluesy and rockin'. (8 p.m. Sat., Steeple Center, 14375 S. Robert Trail, Rosemount, 651-322-6000. $10-$15.) Surowicz
Martin Taylor was marvelous in a cameo in February at the Dakota as part of the International Guitar Night tour. A master of the solo fingerstyle guitar, he impressed with sublime interpretations of famous jazz tunes as well as his witty patter. The British guitar star, who has worked with everyone from Stephane Grappelli to David Grisman, is touring with Laurence Juber, another British fingerstyle guitarist who may be best known for his two-year stint as lead guitarist with Wings, Paul McCartney's other band, in the late 1970s. (7 p.m. Sun. Dakota, $25.) Bream
This weekend likely marks the season's only opportunity to hear the Minnesota Chorale performing with a symphony orchestra. Their partner for "Praise in Heaven, Joy on Earth!" is the Metropolitan Symphony Orchestra, under music director William Schrickel. Chorale artistic director Kathy Saltzman Romey will lead the massed forces in Dvořák's "Te Deum," a smaller-scale work that inspired some of his finest music. Then Schrickel will conduct Beethoven's Symphony No. 9, featuring the Chorale in the final movement, "Ode to Joy." (8 p.m. Sat., Roseville Lutheran Church, 1215 Roselawn Av. W., Roseville; 4 p.m. Sun., Dragseth Auditorium, South View Middle School, 4725 South View Lane, Edina. Free.) William Randall Beard

Avoid poor dietary choices on Independence Day, K-State program director says
An expert on diet is suggesting ways to attain independence from poor dietary choices during this holiday.
Amber Howells works in Kansas State University's College of Human Ecology. In a prepared statement from the university, she offered tips:
Eat what you want during the holiday, she says. Even hamburgers and hot dogs. But ... moderation, moderation.
For hamburgers, buy lean. "If you are using ground beef, try to get that 96 percent lean meat," she said in the statement. "With hot dogs, you really want to find that version that is less than 150 calories per serving size and less than 14 grams of fat. Hot dogs are probably also higher in sodium content because they are more processed, so look at the sodium content and try to find something with less than 450 milligrams of sodium."
Meat? Check labels. Chips? Baked or high fiber are better – and watch the portion size.
Veggies? Good, but watch the fatty, salty dips.
Watermelon? "Watermelon is a fantastic choice because it is a fruit and naturally low in fat," Howells said.
Even ice cream, homemade, is good – in moderation, she said in the statement.
Caffeine? Not necessarily good, given that it helps dehydrate you. Lemonade? Better.
Splurging? Good. Every now and then, she said in the statement.
In moderation.
