Praja Pragati Ranga (PPR), a new political front in the State, is considering a pre-poll alliance with the Karnataka Janata Paksha (KJP), which will be launched "officially" by the former Chief Minister B.S. Yeddyurappa on December 9 at Haveri.
The PPR is a coalition of 14 Dalit, Backward Class and religious minority organisations. Its constituents are the Karnataka Rajya Raitha Sangha, the Samata Sainik Dal, the Republican Party of India, the SDPI, the Bahujan Samaj Party, the Lok Janshakti Party, the Welfare Party of India, the Sarvodaya Karnataka Paksha, the Karnataka Dalit Sangharsh Samiti (Bhimavada), the Alemari Budakattu Mahasabha, the All-India Christian Council, the Dalit-Christian Okkoota, the Dalit Sena and the Dalita Sene.
Though KJP State president V. Dhananjaya Kumar ruled out the possibility of having a pre-poll alliance with anyone, Mr. Yeddyurappa is said to be making overtures to garner the support of various political fronts and small political parties.
Speaking to The Hindu, Kodihalli Chandrashekar, PPR chairman, admitted that he and the leaders of some of the constituents of the front had met Mr. Yeddyurappa recently and discussed about seat-sharing in the coming election to the Legislative Assembly. "However, the executive committee meeting of the front, which will be held shortly, will take a final decision on pre-poll alliance," he said. When asked whether the PPR is prepared to have an alliance with the KJP, Mr. Kodihalli said that as long as the KJP remains secular, the PPR had no problem in joining hands and sharing seats with it.
The goal of the PPR was to defeat the Congress, the Janata Dal (Secular) and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). "We are not averse to join hands with a regional party with secular credential," he said.
However, another senior leader of the KRRS faction, led by Mr. Kodihalli, said there was sufficient reason for the PPR to have a soft corner for Mr. Yeddyurappa. "The former Chief Minister had announced many programmes to help farmers and uplift backward communities during his tenure," he said.
Vatal keen
Mr. Vatal Nagaraj, president of the Kannada Chaluvali Vatal Paksha, is also ready to support the KJP "if asked".
The BSP, however, is still contemplating on the matter. State BSP president Marasandra Muniyappa said party chief Mayawati would take a final decision.

AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW) -- The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers announced they will fund the $300,000 feasibility study of repairs and updates to Lock and Dam.
"The work plan funds 29 feasibility studies, six projects in the Pre-Construction Engineering and Design phase and 38 construction projects or elements of projects to completion," a release said.
Congressman John Barrow (D-Ga.) praised the announcement.
"Augusta commerce and recreation have developed around the deepened Savannah River ever since the lock and dam was built during the Great Depression," Congressman Barrow said in a release. "Business leaders on both sides of the Savannah River agree that this project is vital for the economic stability of the CSRA. Moving this project forward has been one of my top priorities, and I am proud and encouraged to see progress being made to protect the jobs that depend on the New Savannah Bluff Lock and Dam."

So what's a "tin ear" and what do you suggest for better sound quality? I'm looking to install a sound system inside the cabin this year (will be easily heard outside in the cockpit). My plan was to install two 151's or something similar up high in the cabin and a pair of subwoffers cut in to the space under port and stbd settees. I saw the 151's installed in a trawler at a boat show last year and thought they looked and sounded pretty good.

Charmayne James Signature Series Bits from Professional's Choice are a Big Hit! Western Horse Tack
Professional's Choice and 11 time World Champion Barrel Racer Charmayne James team up to produce twelve new bits for Charmayne's Signature Series. Dealers and merchants at the WESA show in Denver, Colorado this past weekend were impressed with the new Charmayne James Signature Series Bits and spurs released at the show. The new bits will be available in tack stores this spring.
Nobody can deny that Charmayne knows a thing or two about barrel racing! When she and Professional's Choice teamed up two years ago to produce a line of bits designed especially with the barrel racer in mind, everyone in the discipline was excited.
The line was so well accepted that it was natural for Charmayne and the Professional's Choice development team to continue to expand the line to include bits for every aspect and level of the sport.
With two Sliding Draw Gag bits, there are a total of twelve new bits. The new Short Shank and Long Shank Leverage Series each have five different mouthpieces to choose from, including: smooth snaffle, twisted wire snaffle, three piece dogbone, medium port pretzel and low port twisted pretzel.
The leverage bits give the rider greater lift of the horse's shoulder and rib cage encouraging tighter turns around the barrel.
Charmayne has been part of the Professional's Choice development team for many years, helping to develop and field test products designed with top performance in mind.
The more comfortable the horse, the better the performance. To locate an authorized Professional's Choice dealer near you, call 800-331-9421 or visit their website at www.profchoice.com.
Professional's Choice is a pioneer in producing products strictly with the well being of the horse in mind. As inventor and manufacturer of the original patented Sports Medicine Boot, the SMB Elite™ and the SMx Air Ride™ Saddle Pad, Professional's Choice continually produces high quality products recognized by top trainers, professionals and everyday horseman alike.

Waiting For AO

from Kara Yorio of the Sporting News,
A couple of weeks ago, I waited for Alex Ovechkin. We were supposed to meet at 7:30 p.m., but a late flight and photo shoot gone long set the meeting back a couple of hours.... Ovechkin arrives at the hotel in a bright pink t-shirt that reads "Love Metal" and jeans with ripped patches. He apologizes for being late, even though it's not his fault, and makes sure his newly acquired, signed Sidney Crosby jersey is taken care of. Then he is ready to go. He is visibly tired, but he sits down and never mentions that he has plans or would like to be somewhere else. But I know better. It's a little past 9:30 p.m. He's a 20-year-old professional athlete in Manhattan. He must know someone in New York City and, even if he doesn't, he has plans. He better. But still, he doesn't rush. He doesn't look at his watch. He works hard to find the right English words to answer the questions. And sometimes, it seems, he works hard to keep from saying too much or something that might be misinterpreted.more

Balsillie Not Talking

from the CP via 680News,
Balsillie's speech was peppered with references to sports and hockey, including a nod to Wayne Gretzky winning his first Stanley Cup. However, when asked to confirm a report that he was a front-runner to buy NHL team the Pittsburgh Penguins, he told the audience that he was giving a solid "no comment." Balsillie had previously denied the claim. "The problem is that if you say anything, then the next time somebody has something that has substance to it, and you say, 'No comment,' are they going to buy you? No," he said. "The problem is you're in for a penny, you're in for a pound in answering those kinds of highly speculative questions." Balsillie later told reporters that he won't attend a pre-season Penguins game against the Buffalo Sabres, scheduled for Saturday at Hamilton's Copps Coliseum. Instead, he said he will be in Australia.

Possible In-Season Moves

from Spector at Fox Sports,
With NHL training camps now in full swing and the new hockey season fast approaching, here's a look at the players from each club in the Eastern Conference who could become potential trade candidates throughout the 2006-07 season. ATLANTA THRASHERS: Vyacheslav Kozlov. He's hit the 20-plus goal mark nine times in his career, most recently in 2005-06. Still a valuable offensive performer but also an unrestricted free agent at season's end. Thrashers' management would prefer to retain him but the lure of free agency could be too strong for "Slava", which could spell a trade deadline deal if the Thrashers are out of the playoff picture by March.read on for the rest of the East...

from the Atlanta Thrashers,
Two years ago Thrashers fan Andy Freeman got some startling news: his kidneys were failing and he was in need of a kidney transplant. He immediately began going to a clinic three times a week for hemodialysis, a three-to-four hour process that involved having his blood removed from his body, cleaned, and filtered back into his system. Time consuming and tiring - not to mention inconvenient for someone who works - hemodialysis was a temporary solution. After five months of it Andy switched to peritoneal dialysis, a procedure which could be done at home while he slept. Most importantly, as he put it with a laugh, it allowed him to eat and drink almost anything he wanted, as long as he watched his sodium intake.continued

Nils Ekman, meet Sidney Crosby. "It's exciting, I feel honoured," the 30-year-old Swede said Monday after practice at the Moncton Coliseum. "I want to do well here as well, maybe help Sid win the points title this year. It'll be a fun journey, I'm sure." Ekman has skated with Crosby and right-winger Colby Armstrong since camp started and head coach Michel Therrien says that's the plan to start the season. "We believe that's going to be a pretty productive line for us," said Therrien. "(Ekman) plays well at both ends of the ice and he's got the speed to play with Sidney Crosby."more

It's not just the chance to drive to the game with the top down that Roberto Luongo will miss this season. He also had to leave his classic Pink Panther mask behind when he was dealt from Florida to Vancouver. His new design, which features a submerging orca on the front, and a growling bear and destroyed old-school mask on the crown, is a real piece of work.much more...

3 "A's" For Pens

via the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review,
The Penguins have decided not to name a captain for the 2006-07 season coach Michel Therrien announced Monday. The team will continue to use three alternates, as it did after Mario Lemieux retired last January. "We won't have one captain, and the biggest reason why is respect for Mario Lemieux and what he did for this franchise," Therrien said. "We're going to keep doing what we did when he retired last year." Therrien did not say who the three alternates would be.

from Matt Casulli at NHL.com,
After enduring a lockout that cancelled an entire season of hockey, I assumed it would be rather easy to get by any future off-season. Well, I was wrong. This summer, I quickly found myself chomping at the bit waiting for hockey to arrive. I had planned on going to the Hurricanes' first day of training camp, on Friday, but my physics professor felt the need to give an exam. Instead of skipping a test, I waited to go to the second day. Getting up was tough, but after I put on my lucky Cory Stillman shirt I could hardly contain my excitement. Well, as excited as a college student can be at 8:30 a.m. on a Saturday.continued

Inline League In Vegas

from the Las Vegas Business Press,
Growing up in Montreal, hockey was in Dan Corsatea's blood. Today, the sport is still a huge part of Corsatea's life, but living in Las Vegas has its limitations when it comes to ice hockey. Here, it's played on inline skates, in a building at the Commercial Center that he describes as "a big square box with no heat in it," far from the fabled Montreal Forum. The 42-year-old Summerlin resident, who used to be in the copier business, has put together a league that has approximately 500 players, ranging in age from 5 to 72. They fill 64 adult teams, six youth squads and 10 high school teams.read on

Lisa Santiago, Teachers College Graduate
The trip to Salt Lake City from New York was exhausting, but the journey Lisa Santiago experienced to get to graduation would be one she will never forget. Lisa was traveling to Salt Lake City for WGU's summer graduation ceremony for which she had been chosen to be a graduate speaker. She delivered her speech to 100 other graduates in her primary language, American Sign Language.
Lisa was born and raised in New York and attended a special school for deaf students until the sixth grade. She was mainstreamed into the public school system and learned the importance of having specialized teachers for hearing impaired students. This experience stayed with Lisa through most of college, until she found WGU. "I had become frustrated by the lack of support services at other universities, such as professors not being able to meet to clarify concepts, assignments, ideas and tasks," Lisa says. "However, I was determined to earn my degree and decided to look on the internet for an online college or university."
Lisa enrolled in WGU's Teachers College in September 2005 to finish her degree online and achieve her dream of becoming a teacher for other deaf students. "I knew I wanted to be a teacher for deaf students so I could serve as a successful role model," Lisa said.
Lisa was excited to meet her WGU mentor at graduation for the first time to thank her in person for all the extra help she gave. "My mentor was so kind, understanding and patient with me when I was struggling with concepts and assignments," Lisa said. "She would give up her time to explain the things in more detail that I didn't understand right away."
Lisa has worked as a teacher's aide in a school for the deaf for over ten years. Now, having earned her Bachelor of Arts in Interdisciplinary Studies degree, Lisa can now have her own classroom.
"Even though I am deaf, I am very proud of myself because I have proven that I am capable of earning a very challenging degree just like people who can hear," said Lisa.
"WGU is one of the best experiences I've ever had compared to any of the other colleges and universities I've gone to, just because it's more of a family, team-work. It's exactly what I needed. People were there when I needed them, and the information was there and ready anytime…"

Welcome to a wet and slushy Thursday, Hamilton business community. Here's what's on the agenda today.
Reporter Steve Arnold is looking into new pension complaints against a local company.
He's also preparing a piece on a local labour leader who is being honoured with the Queen's Diamond Jubilee Medal.
Reporter Meredith MacLeod is looking at the reuse of former industrial and commercial buildings for creative uses.
In today's Spectator business section:
• Workers at Hamilton's Max Aicher North America plant are faced with sharp wage and benefits cuts in a new contract proposal from the company.
• MPP Paul Miller, of Hamilton East-Stoney Creek is demanding the provincial government freeze insurance rate hikes for Hamilton cabbies while an investigation is launched. He wants to know what cabs are facing annual insurance rates of up to $20,000.
On the markets:
The Toronto stock market headed for a higher open with strength likely from the financial sector following a string of positive earnings reports from three of the big banks.
The Canadian dollar was down 0.14 of a cent to 97.61 cents US.
U.S. futures were little changed as traders put aside worries about this week's Italian election, which failed to yield a clear winner and the sequestration. That's the name for a series of automated, across the board spending cuts of US$85 billion set to take effect Friday.
The planned sequester could hit U.S. growth if no deal is reached to avoid it. Previous experience, however, suggests a last-minute deal will be cobbled together.
The Dow Jones industrial futures added four points to 14,064 after reassurances from Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke that the central bank is in no hurry get rid of economic stimulus helped pushed the blue chip index to its highest close this year.
The Nasdaq futures were ahead 1.8 points to 2,742.2 while the S&P 500 futures inched up 0.75 of a point to 1,516.5.
Commodity prices were weak with April crude on the New York Mercantile Exchange down four cents to US $92.72.
Earlier in Asia, Tokyo's benchmark jumped 2.7 per cent after the government of Prime Minister Shinzo Abe nominated Haruhiko Kuroda, currently president of the Asian Development Bank, to head Japan's central bank. Kuroda is seen as a supporter of Abe's efforts to overcome Japan's 20 years of economic stagnation with bolder monetary easing, a weaker yen and bigger government spending.
Elsewhere, South Korea's Kospi ended 1.1 per cent higher, while Hong Kong's Hang Seng added two per cent.
Royal Bank of Canada (TSX:RY) has announced a dividend increase along with its latest financial report, which included a record profit at RBC's core segment and adjusted earnings that beat analyst estimates.
Royal's overall first-quarter net income was up by $215 million to $2.07 billion, or $1.36 per share, on revenue of $7.9 billion. The banks says its adjusted earnings amounted to $1.38 per share, beating analyst estimates by six cents.
Analysts had expected earnings per share of $1.32 on revenue of $7.67 billion, according to Thomson Reuters.
• TORONTO - CIBC (TSX:CM) says its net income slipped to $798 million in the first quarter, the first — and so far only — major Canadian bank to report a year-to-year decline in profitability for the three months ended Jan. 31.
Among the negative items that reduced CIBC's profit in the quarter was a $148-million loss from the settlement of a contract dispute linked to the collapse of Lehman Bros. in 2008.
That item reduced CIBC's first-quarter profit by 27 cents per share.
CIBC's profit was also reduced by one cent per share related to amortization of intangible assets, partially offset by a gain of four cents per share from the sale of a wealth management business that operates in Hong Kong and Singapore.
• TORONTO - Bakery and grocery company George Weston (TSX:WN) says net earnings attributable to shareholders fell 40 per cent in the fourth quarter, pulling full-year net profits down more than 23 per cent. The Toronto-based concern, which is the largest shareholder in Loblaw Cos. (TSX:L), says net earnings attributable to shareholders fell to $65 million or 43 cents per share in the 12 weeks ended Dec. 31. That was down from $109 million or 77 cents in the same 2011 period even as revenue climbed 1.2 per cent to almost $7.73 billion from $7.64 billion. For the full year, George Weston reported net income attributable to shareholders of $486 million or $3.45 per common share on revenues of $32.74 billion. That was down 23.5 per cent from net earnings of $635 million or $4.58 per share on revenue of almost $32.38 billion in 2011.
HOFFMAN ESTATES, Ill. - Sears posted a smaller loss in the fourth quarter as it reduced its inventory and expenses while sales at its namesake stores rose slightly.
The retailer which also owns the Kmart store chain said Thursday that it lost $489 million, or $4.61 per share, for the period ended Feb. 2. That compares with a loss of $2.4 billion, or $22.63 per share, a year earlier.
Excluding certain items, earnings from continuing operations were $1.12 per share.
Revenue fell 2 per cent to $12.26 billion from $12.48 billion.
• BRUSSELS - Top European Union officials late Wednesday struck an agreement on a package of financial laws that includes capping bankers' bonus payments at a maximum of one year's base salary.
The bonuses will only be allowed to reach twice the annual fixed salary if a large majority of a bank's shareholders agrees, said Othmar Karas, the European Parliament's chief negotiator.
"This overhaul of EU banking rules will make sure that banks in the future have enough capital, both in terms of quality and quantity, to withstand shocks. This will ensure that taxpayers across Europe are protected into the future," said Ireland's Finance Minister Michael Noonan, who led the negotiations for 27 governments.

Five Useful Mother's Day Gifts
If you really think about it, Mother's Day is the perfect opportunity to make up for all those times you gave mom a hard time during your youth. After all, a bouquet of daffodils now definitely excuses that time you snuck out of the house at 2 am. And a box of gourmet truffles? The perfect antidote to the antique china you broke while running around like a wild banshee.
But while flowers and chocolate are dandy, they don't last long. Treat Mom to one of these five Mother's Day gifts she'll both use and love for years to come:
Creative Ways to Decorate Your Easter Eggs [VIDEOS]
The Easter practice of egg decorating has meaning behind it: the egg itself represents rebirth, something early Pagans celebrated during the spring season, and was later adopted by Christians to represent the resurrection themes of the Easter holiday. Back in the olden days, colored eggs were decorated in springy hues and given away to lovers and friends sort of the same way we do with Valentines. The egg tradition has held over as the holiday evolved, with most people using store-bought dyeing packages to color their hard boileds.
This year, stray from the usual and create unique Easter egg decorations with the help of these video tutorials.

That's exactly how the man in this video felt after using the ReWalk ExoSkeleton robot. Designed by Argo Medical Technologies Ltd., the robot is a lightweight brace device that attaches to your legs and restores a person's mobility functions.
Eritera Is World's Most Expensive Place to Buy Gas
Gas prices are utterly crazy!
Last week, the average cost of gasoline in the United States was $3.84. In places like Los Angeles, the price has jumped to $4.23 a gallon. These increases are correlated to conflicts in Middle Eastern oil-producing nations.
Adorable Baby Ocelot Makes Debut at Seattle Zoo [VIDEO]
Residents in Seattle now have access to one of the best pick-me-ups ever.
A baby ocelot named Evita finally made an appearance Monday morning at the Seattle Woodland Park Zoo. The 3-month-old spotted feline was born in early 2011 and has since been bonding with its mom behind closed doors.
New Movies in Theaters: 'Water for Elephants,' 'Madea's Big Happy Family' [VIDEO]
Two new movies are opening nationwide this this weekend. One is a film adaptation of the bestselling novel 'Water for Elephants,' starring Robert Pattinson (in a non-vampire role) and Academy Award winner Reese Witherspoon.
The other is a sequel in a long line of sequels in the 'Madea' franchise, called 'Madea's Big Happy Family.' It's hard to say which film will do better at the box office, as one looks to be aiming for Oscar consideration while the other is an ensemble comedy with a well-known leading character.
Take a look at their trailers, Mr. Moviefone's Six Second Reviews and a list of movies still in theaters after the jump.
The Five Best Kenny Chesney Covers on YouTube [VIDEO]
Kenny Chesney's accomplishments as a performer are second to none — as evidenced by his current "Goin' Coastal" tour, and the dazzling live sets documented in his new concert film, Kenny Chesney: Summer in 3-D. But Chesney's no slouch when it comes to songwriting, either — in fact, we think Chesney's live show wouldn't be anything without his powerhouse new-country songwriting as its foundation.
Florida Residents Given Capes to Fight Unemployment
A government-supported unemployment agency in Central Florida is in hot water today after it reportedly spent $14,200 to fund 6,000 superhero capes to hand out to unemployed area residents.
It's all part of what's being called the 'Cape- A-Bility Challenge,' a contest in which out-of-work Floridians take on "Dr. Evil Unemployment," a cartoon character that represents the current state of the economy. (The agency also spent $2,300 on foam cutouts of this job-killing super villain.)
Once they enter the contest, they will be provided with a red cape -- while supplies last, of course. The campaign, which some are calling "insensitive and wasteful," runs through June 30.
Easy Easter Dessert Recipes [VIDEOS]
Though technically a religious holiday, Easter has become more synonymous with milk chocolate candies in the shapes of eggs and bunnies, fruity snacks in springy hues and all sorts of decadent desserts. Stock up on the goods in stores, but also think about making a few of your own delectable treats this year.

With the competition now at the halfway mark, the stakes have been raised, and each contestant must bring their A-game if they want to have any hope of moving one quickstep closer to the mirror ball trophy.
So who actually made the grade tonight?
After the jump, relive the three most memorable moments from week 5's performance night.
How To File an Extension For Your 2010 Taxes
Because of Emancipation Day, a little known Washington D.C. holiday that this year is being celebrated on April 15, US taxpayers had until April 18 to file their taxes.
For some people that still won't be enough time to get all their papers in order. If you find yourself in that boat, you can file for an extension with the IRS.
It's important to remember that filing an extension doesn't extend the due date for any money you owe the IRS, and you will have to pay interest and possibly penalties on any money you send to the government after the April 18 deadline.
Read on for advice, from the IRS website, on who should and shouldn't file for an extension.

"If you've recently gotten engaged, the first thing you should do is sit down and think about your guest list," says Wedding Planning Radio host Jeannie Uyanik. "Because it sets the tone for two things: how much space you need, and how much money you need to pay for all of those guests. Whenever I talk to couples, I always ask, 'How many people on your guest list? And they always say something like, 'We think it's about 200.' But most of the time, it's actually about 300."

ARCADIA, Calif. (AP) - Ron the Greek won't run in the $5 million Breeders' Cup Classic because he has a hoof injury.
Mott says it's not a major problem, but the timing of the injury won't allow the 6-year-old horse to compete Saturday.
Ron the Greek was fine during a gallop on Wednesday. Mott figures the horse later bumped the heel of his hoof, causing the abscess to develop. The Hall of Fame trainer says Ron the Greek should be fine to resume training in a couple of weeks.
Ron the Greek was fourth in last year's Classic at Santa Anita, and was coming off an upset win in the Jockey Club Gold Cup last month.

text: There are too many variables to give a precise a date that the beer will be ready. Normal : 1 week primary,2 week seconday,3 weeks bottle. I hear 3 months in bottle for extract kit (tins) helps a lot. This is what I leave mine for. The best way is to keep careful notes of all steps of the process including tasting notes, storages temperatures etx. Drink 1 per week and keep notes on the taste. Over a period of time you should see the taste getting better and then perhaps worsening. The next time that you brew use your notes taken previously to determine when to both start tasting and the period of time that your beer will be at its best. No point drinking beer that is not ready or past it prime. P.S. I keep no notes and really should!!!

OK, I am going to be buying a Stack On Elite series safe tomorrow. It is a 24 gun model with a dial combo lock. 3 dead bolts and 5 sliding bolts to lock it. 30 minute fire rating up to 1400 degrees.
I know Stack On is not the top of the line but it is what I can afford right now and it is a damn sight better than what I currently have which is a locking metal gun cabinet.
Here is a link to the model I am purchasing.

If anyone has or had one of these I would like to hear any reviews you can provide. It won't change the fact that I am getting it but I'd still like to hear what you have to say.

Webinar: How Does Your Theory of Markets Shape Your Portfolio?
Whether you think of markets as being largely efficient or not is more than an academic question. It has ramifications for whether you take a passive or active approach to investing, whether you hold stocks for the long term, and how much you diversify or concentrate your holdings. Three experienced asset managers talk about when they actively look for alpha and when it makes sense to sit back.
This webinar will be moderated by Roger Ibbotson, Professor in the Practice Emeritus of Finance. He will be joined by Ranji Nagaswami '86, Paula Volent '97, and George Wyper '84.

Defendants in Indian River County 'pill mill' case allowed to remove ankle bracelets
VERO BEACH — An Indian River County judge has ruled that defendants in a widespread Florida "pill mill" case can remove their state-monitored ankle bracelets, after their attorneys cited the inconvenience of the devices and the long wait for trial.
Circuit Judge Robert L. Pegg ruled Wednesday that all defendants can remove the devices if they report regularly to their attorneys so the state can track the defendants' whereabouts.
All 14 defendants were in the courtroom to plead their cases through their lawyers.
The defendants all face drug-related felony charges after an investigation of the Stuart Pain Management Clinic in Vero Beach. The investigation by federal, state and local law enforcement officials led to the 14 arrests in June.
Pegg set an Oct. 2 court appearance by the defendants, but attorneys said it is likely the trial could not be started for more than a year.
"There is no question this is a big, big case, just from the discovery standpoint," Pegg said, acknowledging the hours of federally wiretapped conversations and mountains of evidence files to be reviewed.
Because of the long wait, Pegg agreed to the ankle bracelets' removal. But Pegg ordered the defendants must meet in person with their attorneys every one to two weeks, rather than by using Skype or other communication methods.
If a defendant fails to report, "I would expect that attorney to notify us immediately," the judge warned. "The state is being very generous."
However, some attorneys said the state is hindering the defendants' ability to get a fair trial.
Attorneys Fred Haddad of Fort Lauderdale and Curtis Boyd of Fort Pierce asked the judge to remove them from their case because their client, Stuart Pain Management owner Bruce Karlin, 63, hasn't paid them for nine months of work.
The attorneys said the state blocked Karlin's efforts to access funds — including the sale of his home — by declaring all his funds to be drug-related. Karlin is charged with trafficking in controlled substances and other offenses.
Pegg allowed the attorneys to exit the case, and said Karlin will be represented by the Public Defender's Office.
"The state is being hard-headed, it's not right," Boyd said of the state blocking Karlin's funds. "He had equity in his home because he made a lot of money long before this case."
Vero Beach attorney Nicole P. Menz, who represents Dr. Michael Bengala of Pompano Beach, said defendants are being forced to cover a variety of court costs before their trial.
"These payments have always been paid by defendants only if they are found guilty at trial," Menz said.
None of the defendants spoke during the hearing.

Heeeey folks.
Firstly, thanks for all the birthday well-wishing. Veritable.. mountains of well-wishing. Though I'd be just as content postponing my birthday until next year. And then maybe the year after that, and after that..
A year older and a year wiser. Well, the latter is debatable. But definitely a year older! This year has been a wild, satisfying, disappointing, exciting one. It marks my first total year as a freelancer, which has been simultaneously one of the most liberating and terrifying career leaps I've ever made. Thankfully, the studio I've ended up working with for the entire year has been a very welcoming one. The workload can be immense, but outside of being paid, there are few rewards greater than seeing your work animated in a game after toiling on it for hours. Getting to visit Barcelona was another fantastic perk.
I really can't complain at all about work, this year. I've worked with the guys from Wayforward, Vigil, did a bit of here-and-there for my old studio Spidermonk. I've been quite comfortable here in Texas, and even recently started house-hunting. Though to be fair, it doesn't come without a price.
The most obvious being time. Time isn't a commodity freelancers have in spades, that's for sure. And you wouldn't think it either, given that you can work from your own place, on your own terms, make your own hours, choose your own clients. You know? It all sounds too good to be true, until you realize you have to pick up the slack for about a billion other things you wouldn't think of were you working in-house with a studio. I've had a crashcourse in business matters, and I've come out of it mostly successful, but with a mess of bruises to show for it! I am terrible at managing myself.. as a matter of fact I think Zombiesmile all but took up those reins for me, even from the distance we're still at (VISA/green card stuff ETA is 02/13, btw). Very thankful for all the help she's given me, seeing as how she's far and away my superior when it comes to freelancing experience.
But yeah, time. Time I wish I could spend here. Well, you know what I mean. At my desk, drawing stuff for myself. As grateful as I am to have steady work and a roof over my head, I feel like I've been missing a part of myself for the past.. well I don't even know how long, anymore. I miss making gigantic, rambling journals. Participating in contests, HOLDING contests.. you've no idea how long I've been trying to piece together a new, streamlined, fun art competition. Though I wonder, is there anyone still out there on dA that would enjoy doing that sort of thing? I'm loathe to use the word "OCT".. they were very popular for a time, and I have fond memories of that time, for the most part. But nowadays I'm not getting the same sense of energy that was present in those endeavors. Though to be frank, I think the whole notion needs a serious retooling. As I said, streamlining. I think a return to art-focused, short-but-sweet material would do wonders. Have you ever heard that one question regarding video games? It goes something like, would you rather play a game with 60 hours of content you enjoy, or a 5-6 hour game that completely blows you away? Don't get me wrong, I love me some big, sprawling games myself. But have you ever played The Walking Dead game, by Telltale..? Yeah.. exactly.
So I have something more like an art jam in mind. Still competitive, still character focused. But much, much more focused on art. Short, intense conflicts, with a set page limit to keep everything compact. I'm not saying there isn't a place for the more meandering, plot-heavy model anymore? But I do think the sheer time commitment it takes can be off-putting to people who have things to do on a daily basis. And, well, to be honest, if I want to write a big sprawling story that's big on dialogue and plot, I might as well be making my own comic with that time, I figure. With a contest, I kind of just want to go all-out and have a good time arting it up. Especially with something as cathartic as big, bombastic fight scenes. Maybe I'm the only one that feels this way, I dunno! I could always gauge interest with a poll I suppose. Or heck, if you have any thoughts on the matter, please feel free to let me know in the comments. It would be appreciated.
But that's just one thing I'd like to do with extra time. It'd be easier if there weren't a million other things competing with that thought. I still have a mountain of your characters to add to that megaposter, I still have an INCREDIBLY delayed sketchbook I've wanted to put out for the past year and a half but keep running into snags. I still want to update regularly to dA, but you know what's actually been stopping me in that department? Every time I sit down to draw a character or two, I get hit with this guilty feeling that I've already done more than enough to introduce people to them, and what I should really be doing is focusing on actually TELLING THEIR STORY in the first place. Which puts me in a difficult place, because trying to tackle a graphic novel while working full time for a game studio is a tall, tall order, but I'd still like to update dA.. so I end up in this continuous loop of starting to draw, but then rethinking it over and over and getting nothing done. Then it's the next work day and I'm back in the loop again. Haha. Ah well. Here's hoping this following year I'm able to better free myself up and just draw for the sake of drawing. Even if I'm not releasing a comic about Ree, or the girls of Living in Sin, or if the starts align my god even a reboot of Everafter-as-it-should-have-been, I should probably not think on it so hard that I keep myself from drawing ANYTHING about them and sharing them here.
For the people that keep coming back to my side of the site despite a severe lack of steady updates since like.. 2009, I'd like to start giving you all a reason to come back, you know? With the notes and compliments, the fanart and cosplay, all those amazing things I've continued to receive for these past few years, I'd like to start making it up to you. And myself, really, because I've been denying myself the simpler joys of just drawing art for arts sake for way too long now. I hope I can rectify that. Though until then, all I can continue to say is thank you, to all the folks that do keep swinging by. The same folks who have come over today to wish me a happy birthday.
You guys are, without sounding.. too overtly creepy.. my LIFEBLOOOOOOD. YES THAT'S RIGHT. But no, hear me out. It's totally true. No sacrificial altars involved, I promise.
On my worst days, when I feel like I've fallen off the proverbial art-horse, you guys are the ones who shove me back on with sizzling hot pokers of love. When I feel like I haven't done anything of merit in far too long and am in danger of just being totally forgotten, you guys give me the confidence to get back on my feet, to shut the hell up and just draw. I have received the most wonderful notes over the past year, from people asking permission to cosplay, asking when certain webcomics will renew themselves (and if any of you remember, add three more months to the time that will happen.. ohoho), or just tell me that I've inspired you. I can't possibly overstate how amazing this is. This is not bragging, this is not me asking for a sudden influx of this kind of correspondence. As I said. I just can't overstate what that means to me, every single time. Even if I don't get a chance to respond to your note, your frontpage comment, your questions, etc. I know that's kind of a hot button issue on dA from time to time, artists who never reply to people who ask them/poke them/note them with something. But you have to know, even if I don't. I've read every single last one of them. And just because I'm a forgetful ass with the memory capacity of a severely impaired sea snail, it goes straight to my heart. I mean, obviously it does, or I wouldn't be acting like big mushy super-thankful what-the-hell-is-he-drunk End right now.
I want to start a short story series this year. I'd like to begin livestreaming more. Get more tutorials up on Tumblr. Hold another contest. Shamelessly draw more character stuff even if I don't get to a single comic about any of them. Introduce people to the world I've been building for the past year, based on a bit of art I uploaded last October. I'm feeling pretty damn energized.
So let me close here and get to work, dammit. Thank you, guys and gals.

A what if situation for you guys (or ladies)
You're walking down the street in seattle at night with a lady type friend. Just enjoying the night as i enjoy to do after going to anthonys or daniels steakhouse or something. A man comes out of a alley and points a revolver at your face and tells you he wants your wallet or you and the lady die.
He's kind of in the shadows and there are not a whole lot of people around so don't plan on any outside help. The revolver is cocked and you can see bullets in the cylinder. His finger is uncomfortably tight on the trigger.
You have your ccw at 3 oclock (in my case a 642 with speer golddots)
He is about 10-15 feet away.
What do you do?
The lady has instictively gotten behind you and the guy is impatient. Obviously you can legally blow him away, but would you risk it?
I'm not sure what i would do really. He has the advantage. I could feint going for my wallet and instead give him some lead instead. Or i could give him the wallet and hope for the best. He's too far for hand to hand ninja stuff or disarms (which i don't trust myself attempting anyway)
Also lets say this girl (or guy) you are with is not good with guns and is not trained in anything.
They are completely helpless.
(so no "why wife and i would dive in opposite directions like we trained while shooting matrix style with our matching ivory gripped 1911's")

How to pump out or clean a septic tank: this septic tank pumpout article series provides a step by step, photo-illustrated guide to opening, pumping, and inspecting septic tanks, how a conventional septic tank is located, opened, pumped out, cleaned, and inspected. This guideline is intended for septic pumping tank truck operators and as general information for homeowners or septic service companies concerned with septic system care. The steps in servicing a septic tank are listed below, accompanied by photographs that show each of the critical steps in pumping, cleaning, and inspecting a septic tank. Green links show where you are. © Copyright 2015 InspectApedia.com, All Rights Reserved. Pumping Out the Septic Tank - how the solids & waste are removed from a septic tankThe operator may use a muck-rake, an instrument resembling a long hoe, to stir sludge on the tank bottom during pumping to aid in sludge removal. The operator uses the muck raking tool to break up both the floating scum layer and settled sludge layer in the septic tank. A few minutes are spent with this tool before pumping begins. During pumping the operator continues to use this tool to break up and pump out the floating scum layer in the septic tank. Also see Septic Tank Pumping Frequency Guide for a table explaining when to schedule a septic cleanout. With the vacuum lines all connected, the pumper truck's vacuum pump operating, and the muck rake inserted into the septic tank, tank cleanout can begin. The operator moves both the vacuum line and the muck rake continuously during the pumping operation, to break up scum and sludge, to mix these materials with effluent in the tank, and thus to remove them with the vacuum hose. The breakup of sludge and scum and the mixing of them with tank effluent permits easy removal with the vacuum hose. After removal of the scum layer and the first several inches of effluent, an astute septic pumper operator may pause the pumping operation and even shut off the pumper truck for a moment to listen. If one hears septic effluent spilling back into the septic tank from the tank outlet line the operator has learned that the drain field is saturated, in failure, and is going to need replacement. This is valuable information which may otherwise be tough to obtain. If the septic tank is plastic or fiberglass it may have a bottom or side plug. The operator should be alert for possible accidental removal and loss of the tank plug during pumping as without the plug the tank will drain improperly into surrounding soil. Lost plugs will need replacement. The photo shows a rectangle of floating scum layer material that has fallen from the septic tank inlet baffle area as the effluent level in the tank drops. Septic service operators call this the "pillow" and its appearance is important. If this material is left in the tank baffles the system may become clogged. Pumping continues to remove effluent and settled sludge. Septic effluent is mixed with sludge on the tank bottom to aid in its removal.

The paper introduces a process algebra for business process models. The algebra is located within Problem Oriented Engineering, a framework for engineering design, and is based on a process pattern defined by Hall and Rapan- otti by which Problem Oriented Engineering developments should be structured. The pattern is a generator for processes being composable in three ways: in sequence, in parallel and fractally. In explicating this process algebra, a machine readable and animatable CSP is used, which forms a semantic basis for the behaviour modelling of processes. The benefits of this algebra are: simplicity, support for business process analysis and synthesis, and explicit recognition of choices (and their impact) made by agents.

THE world is not winning the war against AIDS. By the end of this year, 3m poor people infected with HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, are supposed to be receiving the treatment they need. So far, though, barely 1m are. At present, about 40m people are living with HIV, some 5m are infected with it each year and over 3m die from it. The human and economic cost is huge. India may well have more infected people than any other country. China's epidemic has the potential to dwarf all others (see article).
In most of the world, AIDS tends to affect fairly discrete groups, usually prostitutes, homosexuals and drug addicts. In most societies these people are frowned upon. Democracies like them no more than autocracies. When it comes to receiving help from taxpayers, they are never at the top of anyone's list, especially in countries so poor that basic health care is not available to most citizens.
But if AIDS is not contained among the groups that harbour it, it spreads into the general population, as it has in Africa. There, it affects every section of the population—slum-dweller and sophisticate, peasant and professional. Everyone who engages in that near universal activity, sex, is at risk. As it is, AIDS is no respecter of morals: it affects babies as they are born, children as they are orphaned, nurses as they are accidentally pricked by a dirty needle, patients of any kind as they receive a transfusion of contaminated blood. Indeed, it affects the entire society in which its victims live and die.
It also affects the faithful wife of the unfaithful husband. That is why the ABC slogan so beloved by the Bush administration—Abstinence, Be faithful and Condoms—is, in practice, a slap in the face to many people. The President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief commits at least a third of its promised $15 billion to "abstinence until marriage" as the main way of stopping the spread of AIDS. It also urges that the use of condoms be confined to people who engage in "risky behaviour"—prostitutes or couples with one member who is HIV-positive. Many groups are reported to be ending or reducing their condom-promotion schemes to qualify for American money.
That might not matter if condoms did not matter, but they do. In the absence of a proper vaccine, an absence that is likely to continue for years, condoms are the best prophylactic available to anyone at risk of HIV infection through a sexual encounter, within or outside marriage (see article). Abstinence might, it is true, be better still, but abstinence will not, in the real world, be practised widely enough to bring AIDS under control. Now, in a further demonstration of its moral zeal, the Bush administration is insisting that all groups, American or foreign, that are engaged in the struggle against AIDS must declare their opposition to prostitution if they are to receive American money. The administration is also against all needle-exchange projects for drug addicts, one of the groups most likely to contract, and spread, AIDS in Russia, India and China.
The poor countries that have got on top of nascent AIDS epidemics—Brazil (see article), Thailand, Uganda and Cambodia—have done it by changing behaviour. That is no easy task, involving as it does a variety of actions across a wide front. It has proved possible because limits have been set on the endeavour: people have not been asked to act morally, merely in their own self-interest, which happens to be in the interest of society.
The lesson for rich and poor alike is that to contain AIDS morality must take second place. Politicians may find it easier to yield to sanctimonious lobbyists than to explain why refraining from judging other people makes more sense. But that does not excuse them. Too many lives are at stake.

Ohio State men's tennis claims 9th straight Big Ten regular season crown
April 21, 2014
Kane Anderson
For the ninth consecutive season, the No. 1-ranked Ohio State men's tennis team took home the Big Ten's outright regular season title and finished the conference season unbeaten. Playing at home in their final two regular season matches, the Buckeyes (27-3, 11-0) defeated Iowa 7-0 Friday to clinch the title, then defeated Nebraska, 6-1, Sunday to finish the conference season unscathed and give redshirt-senior Peter Kobelt a win on Senior Day. "It was tough (at first) being the only senior on a team full of freshmen, essentially," Kobelt said Sunday after the match, holding the Big Ten Championship trophy tightly. "To be able to go out of here with a…

Opinion: Women on a quest for 'dream guy' need to re-evaluate, love themselves first
April 21, 2014
Chloe Aparcedo
Lately, I've found myself reflecting upon the relationships in my life, thinking about that great love many people have spoken about since Romeo and Juliet. We talk about love with our girlfriends, we see love portrayed in the media, and wonder if one day we will ever be lucky enough to come across that great love. Recently, I read an inspiring piece of advice in "Cosmopolitan Magazine" on love and relationships that really got me thinking. In the excerpt, New York Times Best Selling author Gabrielle Bernstein recommended, "Make a list of things you want to bring to a relationship … too often we think about what we want the…

Ohio State baseball wins weekend series against Murray State
April 21, 2014
Nick Deibel
In the midst of a slump on the field, the Ohio State baseball team decided to loosen things up in order to get back on track. The Buckeyes were playing tight in their losses to West Virginia and Ball State earlier in the week, redshirt-junior first baseman Josh Dezse said. So to loosen players up and help boost team morale, the coaches decided to have the team play wiffle ball during practice Thursday, which Dezse said helped against Murray State this weekend. "It was nice to just have fun all of us together, I know we've been grinding lately. Obviously losing is not fun so that was really nice to…

Late man-down goal gives Columbus Crew 1-1 draw against D.C. United
April 21, 2014
Andrew Todd-Smith
The outcome didn't look good at Crew Stadium. For most of the Columbus Crew's game Saturday night against D.C. United, the team trailed and couldn't find the final touch that would at least earn it a draw. Trailing 1-0 late, the Crew was playing shorthanded soccer against United after midfielder Bernardo Anor received a red card in the 81st minute, and the window of opportunity for a comeback at home looked to be quickly closing. Midfielders Wil Trapp and Hector Jimenez, however, saved their best plays for last. With the final seconds of regulation ticking away, Trapp chased down D.C. forward Fabian Espindola from behind, stole the ball, and moments…

Ohio State track and field turning focus to future after Jesse Owens Classic
April 21, 2014
Taylor Cameron
Under sunny skies, the Ohio State men's and women's track and field teams stood tall at the Jesse Owens Track Classic. Leading the way for the Buckeyes at the two-day meet was the women's 4×100-meter relay team of sprinters sophomore Aliyah Everson, redshirt-junior Chesna Sykes, senior Alycia Prior and redshirt-senior Ashlee Abraham, who scampered to a time of 44.56 seconds. The result is a season-best time for the squad and the best in the Big Ten this year. Several individual events also scored high, as junior distance runner Nicole Hilton won the 3000-meter steeplechase under the lights Friday with a time of 10:37.78. Saturday afternoon, senior sprinter and jumper Adenike…

Japanese culture celebrated at Ohio State festival
April 21, 2014
Regina Bonfiglio
People from all different ethnicities joined together Saturday in the Ohio Union to celebrate one thing: Japanese culture. Saturday was the ninth annual Japanese Spring Festival, an event presented by the Ohio State Japanese Student Organization, with the purpose of showcasing traditional and modern Japanese culture. More than 250 people arrived at the Ohio Union Performance Hall for the event, which was filled with booths in the form of a U-shape with a cluster of tables in the center where visitors sat using chopsticks and ate Japanese food from the local Tensuke Market. With careful bites, people filled their mouths with pieces of bean bread, cream bread, melon bread and…

Opinion: Ohio State tradition, winter blues balance each other out in overall review of Columbus
April 21, 2014
Shelby Lum
"Zooming In" is a weekly series in which Photo editor Shelby Lum provides her insight. It's been a good go Columbus, really. But I think I owe you a bit of honesty. Monday is my last day of undergraduate classes at THE Ohio State, and it has been quite a run to get here. But four years in a city (and state for that matter) that I had never thought about until I received my acceptance letter has had both ups and downs. So as my classes come to a close and my (hopefully) passing grades are posted for one last time on Carmen, I can't help but wonder how…

Review: Karmin goes from classical training to Columbus stage
April 20, 2014
Danielle Seamon
Karmin boasts a new, uncharted model in the pop genre. The blueprints of the duo in itself, consisting of Amy Heidemann and Nick Noonan, aren't unique. Music has exhibited the power of the dyad for decades from the likes of famous twosomes Simon and Garfunkel, Sonny and Cher and Johnny and June. However, the Top 40 doesn't exactly embrace the concept of a two-person group. In fact, in the sea of solo acts and boy bands amongst Billboard's pop-induced ranks, the only pair in practice is Macklemore and his inconspicuous other half, Ryan Lewis. "That's the thing — there really isn't a model for (musical duos)," Noonan said in an…

Romeo y Julieta Reserva Real #2
"Mild, but enjoyable"
Romeo y Julieta Reserva Real Magnum
I have to disagree with the item description; this cigar is by all means a mild smoke. The flavor profile, as others have stated, is not a complex one. Very little flavor on the start develops into cedar with floral aromas and a good bit of pepper. Somewhat tight on the draw. Great burn and construction. Best ash I've developed in a while. Overall, I have to concur that this is a beginner's smoke, but a fairly good one.
Tim H in Pittsburgh, PA March 18, 2013

"Just Thinking..."
Romeo Y Julieta Reserva Real Robusto
Chances are, a lot of these boxes are bought for the special occasion. Do you think that the fact that some guy has recently brought a baby boy into the world has anything to do with the high rating of these 'gars?
Mike_T in Connecticut November 10, 2012
"Fine smoke, beginner flavors"
Romeo y Julieta Reserva Real Lonsdale
Beautiful cigar, fine construction, perfect slow burn. All good there. Flavors not very complex, but a nice complement to a sugary bourbon drink or a big buttery chardonnay. I'll keep these in my collection for sure, as the QPR is high, the consitencey is spot on and I'm never disappointed. Solid 90 point smoke. Enjoy.

"Great Smoke"
Romeo y Julieta Reserva Real Churchill
Being relatively new to cigars, I gave the Magnum a try. It is beautifully constructed, the draw is very smooth, and the taste is consistent throughout. A very good cigar.
Brian in Apopka, FL July 2, 2012
"Delicate and Pleasant"
Romeo y Julieta Reserva Real Short Belicoso
Delicate flavor and pretty well constructed. I did have a small flip up of leaf on this one I am smoking now but the others are perfect. Its pleasant to smoke. Not a crazy amount of flavor in this one but its a nice wind down after work smoke. Has a nice tobacco flavor with a slight sweetness to it. Clean even burn and nice plumes of smoke. I give it an 88/100
Ian in Columbus,OH June 29, 2012
"Great Looking and Nice Smoke"
Romeo y Julieta Reserve Real Petit Robusto
The Romeo y Julieta Reserva Real Short Belisco was a really nice looking cigar. I was very excited to fire one of these little bad boys up after ordering a five pack from Famous Smoke. Appearance alone on these cigars is spectacular. Just a well made, great looking wrapper and size. Upon lighting the cigar there were definite tastes of cream. Not my favorite flavor, but the aroma was awesome. The smoke and draw were PERFECT. A little hot towards the end which gave off some slightly harsh earthy tones. Overall, a well rounded cigar and one to enjoy if you have about 35 minutes or so.
Tony in TEXAS May 20, 2012
"harsh sickening"
Romeo y Julieta Reserva Real Lonsdale
i have had 3 boxes of these over the last couple years and the first one was good, alot of flavor good aroma and smoke out put. second one was to say the least mediocre and i thought maybe it was just a fluke. bought another box and it is harsh, makes me sick easily,smell is bad and draw is tight. if i didnt know better id swear the blend has changed. stay away from these.
