To insure that the NBPA has an Executive Director in place before the start of the 2014-15 NBA season, an impressive search committee has been assembled to speed up the process. According to a league source, the Search Committee members include Kevin Johnson (chairman and Sacramento Mayor), Sonja Henning, James W. Quinn, David Drummond, Troy Carter, Ulysses Lee Bridgeman and Charles A, Tribbett III. CSNNW.com

The NBA doesn't have a Hall of Fame, leaving the duty of honoring its all-time greats to the Basketball Hall of Fame – an organization hung up on honoring players and coaches (way too many coaches) based on accomplishments at lesser levels. Its processes are both screwed up and secretive (though maybe the former will get marginally better). Advice: Never predict who will be enshrined, and don't dwell on who should be enshrined. It doesn't make sense and won't make sense. But that doesn't mean we can't take a few moments to honor those elected in what's still a huge honor. Five former NBA players were finalists this year, and two were reportedly elected. In: Alonzo Mourning Mitch Richmond Out: Tim Hardaway Kevin Johnson Spencer Haywood NBCSports.com
Q: Were you as surprised as the rest of us when the Seattle thing didn't go through? Phil Jackson: No. Q: How come? Phil Jackson: I have inside information. Q: But was there a point when you thought it was leaning that way? Phil Jackson: Yes, when Chris was able to purchase the Maloofs' interests. I was (convinced it would happen) until I was told there was that opening in the buyout where somebody else could come in and purchase it from a local group. And being a guy who likes (Sacramento Mayor and former NBA All-Star) Kevin Johnson — even though we had a lot of run-ups against Kevin when he was playing — I highly respect what he tried to do and how he was able to save that for the community. Whether that's a good deal or not is still to be determined. USA Today Sports
Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson on being named a finalist for the 2014 Basketball Hall of Fame: Via official statement from his office: "It is a tremendous honor to be chosen as a finalist for the Hall of Fame and I am sincerely humbled. It is especially gratifying to be recognized by the Committee for all of the hard work and effort we all put into the game. To be considered along with three great peers of mine, Tim (Hardaway), (Alonzo Mourning, and (Mitch Richmond), as well as (Spencer Haywood), is icing on the cake," said Johnson. Sulia
In a scene reminiscent of other rallies throughout the three-year saga to keep the Kings in Sacramento, Mayor Kevin Johnson announced Thursday the launch of a political campaign aimed at defeating a June ballot measure that would require voter approval of subsidies to sports arenas. Flanked by labor, business and political leaders from throughout the city and region, Johnson said the new group – called The4000 – would work to protect the planned Downtown Plaza arena project, which he called a "once-in-a-lifetime economic game-changer that has an opportunity to transform downtown forever." Sacramento Bee
As the campaign seeking a vote on Sacramento's arena subsidy prepares to turn in its petitions, Mayor Kevin Johnson went on the offensive this morning, saying those behind the ballot measure "are not folks who have Sacramento's best interests in mind." "For me, this isn't what it appears to be," the mayor said in an interview with The Bee. "This initiative is a Trojan horse, it's like a bait and switch." Sacramento Bee

Aston Villa striker Darren Bent admits this season has been as difficult a time he's had in his career.
He lost his place at Tottenham under Harry Redknapp before joining Sunderland in a £16.5million move in 2009.
Speaking at the launch of Electronic Arts' new video game Medal of Honor Warfighter, Bent told The Sun: "It's always hard to take, I do better when I'm playing games.
"Spurs was probably the hardest thing I've been through. That was new to me, I came from Ipswich and Charlton where I'd been playing every game.
"Suddenly I was at Tottenham where they had Berbatov, Keane and Defoe so I knew how hard the challenge was going to be. But I wanted to go there to challenge them and it was always going to be difficult.
"Now I'm older and wiser, I know how to get through it. The Villa setbacks are on an equal par, but I've dealt with them better this time around.
"More than anything, it was the injury last season when I ruptured ankle ligaments. That was the first serious injury I'd had in my career.
"But it did toughen me up for this season. Now I expect anything. There was the injury, losing the captaincy and being in and out of the team. It's difficult. But I'm a stronger person now — a stronger character.
"Throughout my career I've liked to play to a rhythm, it's hard to play one game here and there.
"I've always tried to play consistently — that's worked for me. But if the current situation goes on into the season then I'll have to adapt, I guess."

[0001] a. Field of the Invention
[0002] The present invention relates to wheelchairs and, in particular, to a side frame assembly constructed of sub-upper and lower portions that are connected together without the use of welding.
[0003] b. Prior Art
[0004] Designing wheelchairs that are both adaptable and easy to manufacture has been particularly challenging. The typical wheelchair frame has a side frame with an upper member, a lower member, and one or more vertical members welded into place on the lower and/or upper side frame members. FIG. 1 illustrates a portion of a prior art welded frame 5 in which vertical support members 6 and 7 are welded into place. Although the vertical, welded members are typically necessary in order to provide vertical strength to the wheelchair frame, the welding process is time consuming and expensive. Furthermore, once a piece is welded into place on the side frame, it is impossible to move the location of the welded piece. Consequently, welded wheelchair side frames are both slow to manufacture and not versatile once the wheelchair has been constructed.
[0005] Welded frames have been used to manufacture small wheelchairs for children. The seat of the wheelchair is preferably low to the ground, so that a child can easily climb into the chair. To reduce the height of the chair, it is desirable to reduce the height of the sideframes. One approach to making relatively short sideframes has been to weld vertical support members between horizontal sideframe members, as FIG. 1 illustrates. These welded sideframes suffer from the same problems described above, namely, they are time consuming to manufacture and have a fixed, non-adaptable configuration.
[0006] An alternative type of sideframe is a one-piece, non-welded sideframe having an upper portion, a lower portion and at least one side portion. There are bends in the sideframe at the juncture of the upper portion with the side portion, and at the juncture of the side portion and the lower portion. The bend is typically a portion of a circle. Sideframes having a height as measured from the bottom of the lower portion to the top of the upper portion of approximately nine (9) inches have been achieved with this design. However, it is very difficult, if not impossible, to manufacture a one-piece, non-welded design of this sort that is short enough for a small child's wheelchair, in which the sideframe can be as short as six (6) inches or less. The radius of curvature of the bends that join the upper, side and lower portions would need to be prohibitively tight for standard tubular sideframe members.
[0007] There is, therefore, a need in the art for a wheelchair side frame design that is easier to construct and more versatile than known wheelchair designs utilizing welds. Furthermore, there is a need for a non-welded sideframe construction that can be used to construct small sideframes for use in children's' wheelchairs.
[0008] In light of the problems inherent with welded sideframes, the present invention presents an improved and more adaptable sideframe design than is known in the art. The present invention includes a wheelchair side frame having an upper member and a lower member separate from the upper member. The upper member is removably interconnected with the lower member, and the sideframe is generally free of welds. This two-piece, nonwelded configuration is especially useful in designing short wheelchairs for children, although it also can be used for larger wheelchairs.
[0009] In accordance with one particular embodiment of the present invention, a sideframe for a wheelchair has a top frame and a separate bottom frame. An axle plate extends between and is attached to the top and bottom frames, thereby interconnecting the top and bottom frames. A caster plate is attached to the sideframe, and the top frame and the bottom frame are removably attached to one another.
[0010] The sideframe may have a variety of additional features. The top and bottom frames may each comprise a plurality of bolt apertures. Similarly, the axle plate and the axle extension plate each comprise a plurality of bolt apertures. In an arrangement for support a rear-mounted major wheel, the axle plate is to the rear of the sideframe and the caster plate is to the front of the sideframe. In an alternative arrangement for supporting a front-mounted major wheel, an axle plate is to the front of the sideframe and the caster plate is to the rear of the sideframe.
[0011] In accordance with further alternative features, the top frame may comprise an upper portion and a downwardly extending rear portion. The downwardly-extending rear portion may be removably attached to the lower frame member. The downwardly extending portion may include a concave end piece adapted for engagement with the lower frame member, which may have a variety of different cross-sections, including tubular. In either arrangement, the caster plate may be attached to the bottom member and to the top member to interconnect the bottom member with the upper member.
[0012] In accordance with another aspect of the present invention, a wheelchair frame comprises left and right sideframes. The sideframes are removably connected to one another by at least one connecting member extending in between and connected to the first and second sideframes, respectively. The connecting member may include one or more concave end pieces adapted to interconnect with the top and bottom members. The concave end pieces may each have a bolt receptor. The frame may include an anti-tip member extending rearwardly or forwardly therefrom. The anti-tip member may include one or more wheels such that the anti-tip member rolls along the ground with the major wheel.
[0013] The proceeding generally summarizes major points of the invention. However, additional points and objects of the invention may be gleaned from the Detailed Description of the preferred embodiments, from the drawings, and from the claims. Consequently, this Summary is not to be viewed as limiting the scope of the invention.
[0014]FIG. 1 is a section of a prior art welded sideframe;
[0015]FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a wheelchair frame in accordance with the present invention;
[0016]FIG. 3 illustrates the interface between the upper and the lower portions of the sideframe;
[0017]FIG. 4 illustrates an axle plate as used in a presently preferred embodiment of the invention;
[0018]FIG. 5 illustrates an axle extension plate as used in a presently preferred embodiment of the invention;
[0019]FIG. 6 illustrates a presently preferred castor plate;
[0020]FIG. 7 is an exploded view of a connector member and associated end pieces for joining the left and right sideframe portions;
[0021]FIG. 8 is a detail view of an end piece; and
[0022]FIG. 9 illustrates an alternative plate for use in a major-wheel-forward embodiment of the present invention.
[0023] Referring to FIG. 1, a wheelchair 10 has left and right wheels 12 and 14 and a seat 16. A lower frame 18 includes a left side frame 20 and a right side frame 22. Small forward wheels 24 and 26 extend from casters 28 and 30 respectively. A single piece footrest 32 extends between the left and right footrest hangers 34 and 36, respectively.
[0024] Each of the side frames 20 and 22 have respective upper frame members 40 and 42, respectively, and lower sideframe members 44 and 46, respectively. The lower frame members 44, 46 are spaced by spacer members 50 and 52, respectively. The upper frame members 40 and 42 are spaced and interconnected by spacer bar 54.
[0025] The wheelchair is stabilized by anti-tip members 60 and 62, respectively, each of which is generally a rearwardly extending member having stabilization wheels. These anti-tip members 60 and 62 prevent the wheelchair from tipping backwards during use.
[0026] The respective upper and lower sideframe members are interconnected without the use of welds. Considering the left sideframe, and referring to FIG. 3, the upper frame portion 40 and the lower frame portion 44 are interconnected at a juncture point 46. The upper member 40 in the preferred embodiment is a tubular member that is hollow inside. Tubular members for wheelchair frames are well-known in the art, although a presently preferred embodiment of the invention incorporates tubular members having a diameter of 1″ and a wall thickness of {fraction (1/16)}″.
[0027] Extending from the end of member 40 at juncture point 46 is an end piece 48. The end piece 48 is shown in detail in FIG. 8. The end piece 48 has a convex surface 50 having a threaded bolt receptor 52. The member 48 also has a neck portion 54 that is sized so as to fit within the tubing that forms a members of the side frame. A bolt aperture 56 extends through the neck portion 54 such that a bolt may be inserted through aperture 56 to secure the member 48 within the tube within which the member is to reside. An optional indentation 58 may be provided to accommodate a spring-loaded pin type of retaining system. FIG. 7 illustrates how end pieces 60 and 62 are inserted into respective ends 64 and 66 of member 50. Respective bolts 68 and 70 are inserted through opening in the tube 50 through the apertures 72 and 74, respectively, in the members 60 and 62, and then through bottom openings in the tube 50. Nuts 76 and 78 secure the bolts 68 and 70 into place.
[0028] Returning to FIG. 3, a bolt 80 is inserted through the tubular member 44 and into the end piece 46 in order to interconnect member 44 with upper member 40. However, the end piece 46 and bolt 80 combination is only one means for securing the members 40 and 44 together. The upper and lower members are also secured together by way of an axle plate 82, which extends between and is bolted to both members 44 and 40.
[0029] Referring to FIG. 4, the axle plate 82 has a plurality of holes along each longitudinal side 84 and 86. This plurality of holes 84 and 86 provides the user with flexibility as to where the plate will be attached to the respective frame members 40 and 44. For example, if the spacing between members 40 and 44 in a particular embodiment is especially short, the user may use the same plate 82 to join the two members together. The user simply reduces the spacing between the holes along the plurality of holes 84 and 86 and inserts bolts to hold the plate onto the frame members. In this way, the present system for interconnecting the members 40 and 44 is particularly versatile. Compared to systems in which members are welded, the use of the members such as 82 greatly simplifies the manufacturing process. To modify the way in which members 44 and 40 are joined together, the user simply unbolts member 82, and then is free to move member 82 forward or backward as the situation requires. This flexibility is simply impossible in frames that are welded.
[0030] Considering member 82 further, an elongated opening 88 is provided through the center of member 82. The opening 88 is wide enough to accommodate an axle sheath receptor into which an axle may be inserted. The axle sheet receptor, as seen in FIG. 3, has reference numeral 90 and serves to accommodate the axle of the wheel 12 (not shown). An axle extension plate 92 is bolted onto axle extension plate 82 to provide means for retaining a wheel axle. The plate 92 includes sets of holes 94 and 96 and an alternative axle opening 98 which can be used to accommodate a wheel axle in some embodiments of the invention. Like the axle plate 82, the axle extension plate 92 is designed to provide the user with considerable flexibility and adaptability. The plurality of holes 94 and 96 permit the user to vary the way in which the axle extension plate 92 is mounted onto the axle plate 82. In most embodiments, the axle extension plate 92 is secured onto axle plate 82 with four simple bolts. However, with the plurality of holes 94 and 96, the user can secure the axle extension plate 92 onto the axle plate 82 using more than four bolts, or potentially fewer bolts.
[0031] The axle extension plate 92 serves to provide an axle sheath receptor 90 for receiving and retaining a wheel axle. In an alternative embodiment, the axle plate 82 may itself be provided with the axle sheath receptor 90 so as to unify the functions of plates 82 and 92. However, in the presently preferred embodiment, a separate axle plate and an axle extension plate are employed.
[0032] Returning now to FIG. 2, an additional means for securing the respective lower side frame members 44 and 46 to the respective upper side frame members 40 and 42 are caster plates 38 and 30, respectively. Turning to FIG. 6, a caster plate 38 includes a plurality of bolt holes 100 about the perimeter thereof. As with the axle plate 82 and the axle extension plate 92, the apertures in caster plate 38 provide the user with considerable flexibility in manufacture. One caster plate 38 may be used in any of variety in wheelchair designs because the plurality of bolt apertures 100 provide the manufacturer with a variety of connection points from which to choose. The caster plate 38 is provided with a central opening 102 through which the respective caster 28 may be mounted.
[0033] By way of illustrative dimensions, and not by limitation, the following components in one small wheelchair embodiment of the invention may have the following particular dimensions. It should be noted, however, that the present invention is not limited to any one embodiment. The wheels are approximately 16 inches in diameter. The lower sideframe members are approximately 17 inches long. The space between the left and right sideframes is approximately 10�inches. The space between the upper and lower side frame members is approximately 5 inches, as measured from the center of the upper tube to the center of the bottom tube, or 6 inches as measured from the bottom of the bottom tube to the top of the upper tube. The upper and lower sideframe members are hollow metal tubes having a diameter of approximately one inch. The axle plate is approximately 6�inches long by 2 �inches wide.
[0034] It is generally noted that the above dimensions pertain to a presently preferred embodiment of the invention. The structure of the sideframe design presented herein permits the very short spacing between the upper and lower sideframe members described above. The six-inch top-to-bottom sideframe spacing of the presently preferred embodiment is considered to be a noteworthy achievement in the art, particularly with the presently preferred adaptable, non-welded sideframe.
[0035] The foregoing has described one presently preferred embodiment of the present invention. However, it is to be understood that the present invention is not limited to any one embodiment. Consequently, various improvements and changes may be made. For example, the embodiment illustrated in FIG. 2 has the major wheels 12 and 14 mounted to the rear of the wheel chair and the minor caster wheels 24 and 26 mounted at the front of the wheelchair. However, in some embodiments, and especially in embodiments for small children, it is desirable to mount the major wheels 12 and 14 on the front of the wheelchair, and to move the smaller caster wheel 24 and 26 to the rear of the wheelchair. In such an embodiment, the anti tip members 60 and 62 will be mounted in the front, rather than the back of the wheelchair, such that the members 60 and 62 extend forwardly with the wheels thereof being in front of the wheelchair.
[0036] Thanks to the versatility of the present invention, it is a simple matter for a manufacturing standpoint to reconfigure the wheelchair into a forward wheel design. The respective axle plates and their corresponding axle extension plates are simply moved forward along their respective side frames and bolted to the front rather to the rear of the frame. To move the caster wheels 26 and 24 backwardly an additional caster plate is added to the rear of the frame. FIG. 9 illustrates a caster plate 110 that can be added to the rear of the frame to support the casters 28 and 30. The caster plate 110 is provided with a plurality of apertures for mounting the plate onto the side frame and for mounting the casters to the respective additional caster plates as illustrated in FIG. 9. In this alternative embodiment, it is preferred that the respective side frame portions 40 and 42 be provided with sufficient apertures along the rear portions thereof for mounting the additional caster plate.
[0037] Various other modifications may be made. For example, the one piece footrest 32 may just be easily be broken into separate left and right footrests. The respective handles may be made to be foldable or rotatable forward, as desired. The relative sizes of the wheels 12 and 14 may be made larger or smaller as the need arises. The design may be adapted to construct folding wheelchairs, for example, rather than the rigid configuration as shown. Consequently, it is to be understood that the present invention is not limited to the preferred embodiment illustrated herein.
[0038] It should be further noted that although the drawings illustrate one embodiment of the invention, these are not engineering production drawings. Consequently, the relative dimensions that the drawings illustrate are not necessarily those that would be used in production.

Christopher Lee in Robin Hardy's THE WICKER MAN (1973).
Photo: , Rialto Pictures/ Studiocanal
In this 1973 suspense classic (⋆⋆⋆ out of four stars, rated R for nudity), Sgt. Neil Howie (Edward Woodward), a puritanical Christian investigating a girl's disappearance, encounters forces beyond his imagining. With its warm Gulf Stream currents and palm trees, lush Summerisle off Scotland's west coast could not be more different from Howie's chilly Highlands, and the locals' pagan rites shock his inflexible piety. A pleasingly literate script by Anthony Shaffer ("Sleuth") toys with the conventions of missing-person stories while capturing a sense of menace lurking beneath the everyday. Christopher Lee (pictured) plays the urbane Lord Summerisle, whose subjects worship fertility in all its forms. Howie, offended by this heresy, endures isolation and agonizing sexual frustration, rather than the usual cops-and-robbers rough stuff. Ultimately, he finds himself the unwilling main character in a heathen passion play. While the film technique is creaky and the Scottish folk songs outstay their welcome, Lee and (especially) Woodward shine. Now re-issued with several minutes of restored footage. (Uptown Theater, 2906 Hennepin Av. S., Mpls.)

Epping selectmen won't spend money on ghost hunt

Town Administrator Gregory Dodge, who has heard the strange sounds on numerous occasions over the years, said there have been many offers made to the town to investigate the noises. However, he said, "Selectmen do not intend to spend any tax dollars."
Selectman Karen Falcone has said selectmen are interested in exploring the sounds of footsteps and doors opening and closing often heard by town employees when no one else is around. She suggested it may be time to have a ghost hunter check out the town hall, but at this point selectmen aren't sure how they'll investigate the unexplained occurrences.
The noises have been heard by several people, including police officers who worked in the basement of the town hall until they moved into the new public safety complex in 2001.
Police have investigated the sounds of footsteps late at night but never found a source.
Epping native Daniel Harvey, who has a deep knowledge of the town's history, said he hasn't heard the ghost stories in the past, but he didn't discount the possibility that spirits may exist in the town hall that was built in the late 1800s.
"All I know is what I've heard recently. If they said they heard it then maybe they did," the 92-year-old Harvey said of the several employees who claim to have heard the noises.
In researching the town hall's history, officials said the only death known to have occurred there happened in 1940 when resident Herman Lussier fell from the clock tower. Harvey remembered Lussier and the accident.
"He slid off and fell onto the front steps," he said.
While the noises remain a mystery, one thing is for certain: bats have haunted town hall visitors for years.
In 2011, a bat interrupted a selectmen's meeting when it flew into the room and swooped around the heads of board members. The encounter was caught on the town's TV cameras and broadcast live to viewers watching on the public access channel.

head-scratching article
pammyfayApril 25, 2009
The Washington Post today ran a piece about the cost of storage units versus the cost of buying a new place with more storage.
Do you think people actually think of those two options first? And not the "get rid of the excess stuff" option?
Here is a link that might be useful: WashPost
I am amazed by the number of people that have storage units for their stuff that they never use. My nieces rented a unit for $100 a month. They stored happy meal toys, beanie babies, christmas decorations, and other stuff that had very little monetary value. They have finally decided to unload it, and are discovering just how much money all this crap really cost them to keep. Talk about a 180, they really are purging now.

Does Your Firm Monitor Employee Social Media Output?
Filed under: SEO
Okay if you're like many of the lean firms that has so much on their plate that they seldom have time to even think about marketing items on the 'back-burner' then maybe it's time to move Social Media up front.
We've just completed a full study for a client in the retail sector and what we've been able to show is that when it comes to employees, you NEED to have a solid set of guidelines in place, else you're toast!
Well, maybe not real toast, but in the words of Warren Buffet "it takes 20 years to build a reputation and 5 minutes to ruin it!" and that is just so so true if you think about the immediacy of Twitter and Facebook and LinkedIN too!

Is Your TITLE tag Properly Optimized?
Filed under: SEO
Okay, it"s title tag time again as the SEO world is generally looking at this factor – the #1 factor most of us agree – as the simplest and best way to gain some SEO ranking juice.
As you may know for years we (the SEO world that is) preached that if you want to use a title tag longer than say 70 characters, you'd be indexed, but Google et al would only show the first 69/70 characters. End of story. Do that and you were fine.
Except not so much for some of us…and yes, I did go to www.seomofo.com (not updated tho!) and read Darren's testing on that and see that he was one of the first to push the new thought that maybe it wasn't "characters" that were counted, but "pixels" themselves. Or go here to moz.com and see their tool here…

Our New eBook: Here's How I Did It!
Filed under: SEO
It's not often that one gets asked by a publisher to contribute to a book as an "expert" so when the call came in a few months back, I did my own due diligence to check on both the validity of the firm itself as well as vetting the "other experts" too.
And yes, I did spend some hours looking at many many online reputations for experts in fields that I know something about – as well as nothing about too.
I'm still a bit amazed at how some of these admitted experts worked their magic…what I know about tv companies and lawyers and such is pretty small having never spent any time "within" such an organization.

Mo. judge says warning speeders of police OK
A federal court judge in Missouri says penalizing drivers for the headlight flash violates their First Amendment right to free speech
By Jim Salter
Associated Press
ST. LOUIS — It's a common practice among drivers who pass through a speed trap: Flash your headlights at approaching cars as a warning to slow down. Now, a federal court judge in Missouri says penalizing drivers for the headlight flash violates their First Amendment right to free speech.
U.S. District Judge Henry E. Autrey in St. Louis on Monday issued a preliminary injunction prohibiting the St. Louis County town of Ellisville from citing and prosecuting drivers who flash their lights to warn of radar and speed traps. Ellisville's city attorney said there are no plans to appeal.
The order stems from a lawsuit filed by the American Civil Liberties Union of Missouri on behalf of Michael Elli. On Nov. 17, 2012, Elli flashed his headlights to warn oncoming vehicles of a radar set up by Ellisville police.
An officer saw the flash and pulled Elli over, citing him for a city ordinance violation, though a similar statute exists in Missouri law. Elli was told he would likely face a fine of up to $1,000 if convicted.
The case was eventually dropped. Ellisville City Attorney George Restovich said the city changed the policy and no longer pulls over people for flashing headlights.
"The reality is that the injunction doesn't change the way the city has been operating for the past 12 months," Restovich said.
Still, Ellisville continued to fight the suit. At a hearing last year, Ellisville officials made the case that flashing headlights could interfere with a police investigation.
But Autrey said in his ruling that the flashing of headlights was essentially a good thing, sending "a message to bring one's driving in conformity with the law — whether it be by slowing down, turning on one's own headlamps at dusk or in the rain, or proceeding with caution."
Jonathan Turley, a criminal attorney and a professor at George Washington University Law School, said courts across the country are dealing with the same issue. In virtually every case except those still being decided, the person cited has prevailed, Turley said.
"This has sweeping implications for the First Amendment," Turley said. "What this citizen is doing is warning other citizens about the violation of law. People regularly warn others about the possibility of arrest. There's no difference between a verbal warning and a mechanical warning. Both are forms of speech."
Jeffrey A. Mittman, executive director of the ACLU of Missouri, said that since filing the suit, his office has heard from many other drivers across Missouri complaining about similar police practices.
"It is important that law enforcement officers in other jurisdictions take note of this federal court decision and the ACLU-MO's commitment to free speech," Mittman said in a statement.

For the next 60 years or so—basically, until everyone roughly my age has died off—former Alaskan senator Ted Stevens will be widely remembered (and mocked) for once describing the Internet as "a series of tubes".
But here's the thing. It's easy to make fun of Ted Stevens. It's harder (much harder) to explain quickly and at a relatively simple level—for lay people with no tech background—what actually happens when they call up a web page.
That's why Greg Boustead and the nice folks at the World Science Festival put together this short video, explaining the basics of the Internet, specifically the basics of packet switching. The video should help the average person understand the Internet just a little better and it has been run by several experts for accuracy, Boustead says.
I have to admit that when I had to screen it for "father of the Internet" Vint Cerf, who invented this process, I was more than a little nervous, certain he would pick it apart. When he replied with "This is so good - can I please use it to explain the concept of packets at public lectures," needless to say, I was over the moon.
So, the Internet. It's not a big truck. It's not a series of tubes. It's more like a bus full of tourists.
Matt Scone and sculptor Sanden Henning offer this splendid Forever Alone sculpture.

We invested about 2.5k into the project, in fact we're still losing money selling them. But we had fun working on the project so it's not all a lost."
Scone describes the development and manufacturing process:
1) We had a 3D render of the statue made
2) 3D printed it, which is really expensive but getting cheaper by the day
3) Cast a mould around the figure
4) Had 30 of them made in resin
5) Hand paint them
6) Custom packaging
7) Ship from China to the States

Last week, lost in a haze of book tour, I found myself at brunch with several friends who were talking about a YouTube meme I'd entirely missed—people attempting to eat whole spoonfuls of cinnamon and failing miserably. (Warning, the video ends in tears and heaving.)
While others wonder "why?" or, perhaps, "why not?", we here at BoingBoing prefer to ask, "No, seriously, how does that work?" Luckily, Jason Bittel at BittelMeThis had the answer. Turns out, humans are generally doomed to fail the Cinnamon Challenge for a very specific scientific reason—we need things to be lubricated in order to swallow them.
The spice that magically transforms dough and sugar into a sticky bun is actually ground up tree bark, which means we're talking about a lot of water-resistant cellulose. And according to retired physical chemist Vince Calder, the rest is "a mixture of volatile organic compounds, a major component being cinnamanaldehyde, which is not very water soluble."
If you want to see this in action without risking asphyxiation, put a tablespoon of cinnamon in a bowl and jostle it until the powder is level. Using a straw, allow a drop of water to fall on the surface. Instead of saturating the cinnamon – like it would with sugar – the water just beads up and rolls around like the liquid seed of a rusty T1000.
In a nutshell, all of this means that the Cinnamon Challenge can, in fact, be fairly dangerous.

This is a really involved job, including removing the seats, carpet, steering column and much more.
I can't possibly address this here. I can recommend a couple of websites that could help you if you want to find out what you're in for.

Slavoj Žižek's take on freedom was never going to be common-sensical, so it's perhaps no suprise that he begins his recent Guardian Comment is Free video in typically paradoxical style. To be truely free, for Žižek, would involve "the state taking care of things, not only without my choice, but even without me knowing about them."
Renowned Slovenian philosopher and cultural theoriest, Slavoj Žižek, recently participated in a live webchat on the Guardian website. Guardian readers were asked to submit their questions for the typically rambunctious Žižek, and they ranged from his thoughts on Scottish independence, ISIS and the London riots to...cats.
One of the signal features of our era is the re-emergence of the 'sacred' in all its different guises, from New Age paganism to the emerging religious sensitivity within cultural and political theory.
Verso has published for many years a range of critical accounts of Christianity and the broader issues of religion, belief and faith. Here, in conjunction with the publication of Pier Paolo Pasolini's St Paul, Verso presents a Radical Christianity reading list.

The best billboard for solar power is a solar panel. People are captivated and inspired by solar panels quietly at work producing clean energy. Last month, Americans saw tens of thousands of these billboards through almost 600 American Solar Energy Society (ASES) tours of homes, municipal buildings and businesses in 38 states, each demonstrating the use of clean, affordable solar power.

Our staff strives to support the media covering solar energy issues and guide our members on effective media outreach with clear statements, background materials, news and multimedia resources.
SEIA is committed to informing policymakers, the media, and the American public about the benefits of solar energy for today's communities, our economy, and our country.

Clean-tech's future hinges on election
"If private investors say no to you, and green investors like the people at Google or Al Gore say no to you, and you only have Uncle Sam to turn to, what does that tell you about your project?" said Jerry Taylor, a senior fellow at the Cato Institute libertarian think tank.
U.S. Solar Jobs Outpace Total Economy, Non-Profit Says
The U.S. solar energy industry added jobs at about 5.74 times the rate of the rest of the economy in the 12 months ended in September, according to a report from the Solar Foundation.
Solar industry jobs up 13 percent from 2011
Some solar power companies may be struggling to keep their doors open, but a new report issued Friday shows the nascent industry is adding jobs at a brisk pace.
U.S. Solar Energy Jobs Increase by More Than 13 Percent
WASHINGTON, D.C. – The Solar Energy Industries Association® (SEIA®) today highlighted initial findings from The Solar Foundation's (TSF) third annual National Solar Jobs Census showing that solar energy jobs have experienced strong growth in the U.S. over the past year, despite global economic challenges. The full National Solar Jobs Census 2012, with analysis of employment trends across the entire solar industry is scheduled for release on Nov. 14, 2012 by TSF, a nonprofit research institution located in Washington, D.C.
Renewable Sources of Power Survive, but in a Patchwork
JUST a few years ago, the future of renewable energy looked as bright and shiny as a white turbine blade coming out of the mold.
Poll: N.C. Voters Want Choice on Buying Clean Energy
Almost 87 percent of North Carolinians would support legislation that allowed them to buy electricity produced by clean renewable resource from power companies other than their local utilities, according to a new poll.
Poll Finds Support for Fossil, Renewable Energy
Politicians on all sides of the nation's energy debate can find things to ponder in a new poll that suggests Americans are inclined to develop natural gas resources and build a disputed oil pipeline from Canada, but also want the government to support renewable energy.
Home Solar Systems are Becoming More Popular
While large solar farms are cropping up in the area, smaller projects for homes and businesses are also becoming more common.
Hickenlooper, Bennet Tout Colorado's Energy Leadership
If the United States is to pursue an "all of the above" energy policy, Colorado will be the model for the nation, said Gov. John Hickenlooper, speaking Tuesday at the Global New Energy Summit at The Broadmoor.

Great guest! Left the apartment spotless.
Amanda, her family and dogs stayed at my house for four days and took great care of the place - they even did my laundry for me!
Amanda is really easy to deal with - very responsible and leaves your house as clean and tidy as you left it. All around a blue chip airbnb guest and a lovely person.
Amanda and her family were great guests. They took good care of the house and left it in impeccable conditions. It was a great pleasure hosting and assisting them in their trip to Milan.
Amanda was wonderful to deal with. I would have her in my apartment any time!
Wonderful hotes, nice and courteous. It was a real pleasure to have them as guest. Communication was super easy. The apartment was left in a perfect condition. I'm sure you will be 100% confortable having her as guest. I would gladly have her back any time!

|Welcome to Davenport
This site is for users of Davenport railway station, Stockport, England - and for all the people of Davenport. Our aim is to have plenty of useful information for users of the station, and act as a forum for contributions and suggestions.
Please note that this site is unofficial and is not connected with Northern Rail or any rail company. Information here is presented in good faith, but we cannot be responsible if your train (or bus) does not arrive when expected.
Plans for New Franchise
On 27 February the Department for Transport has published its requirements for the Northern and TransPennine raiway operations in the form of Invitations To Tender. Also published is a Stakeholder Briefing Document, which summarises the responses received to the eariler consultation and explains what will be happening in the new franchises.
Details, and links to the documents can be found on the Government website. The highlights for Northern are given as:
Incidentally, the operator will be allowed to make over-inflation fare increases to fund the new rolling stock. There are also suggestions in the docoment that some trains might run without conductor/guards on lines where there was sufficient opportunity to buy tickets at stations.
There's a spreadsheet provided which specifes the minimum number of trains which must be provided at each station. If we understand this rightly, in the case of Davenport this is much the same as at present on weekdays, the service between 10:00 and 16:00 remaining half-hourly. However, on Sundays from December 2017 the specification calls for a half-hourly service between Manchester and Hazel Grove for most of the day (mostly hourly at present), half the trains continuing to Buxton. Annoyingly, however, the current poor level of Sunday services to Middlewood is accepted, with its unnecessary inconvenience to leisure users of the Middlewood Way with no benefit to anyone else.

First Look: House Of Cards Season 3 Trailer
Some of the biggest buzz surrounding last night's Oscar's broadcast had little to do with Neal Patrick Harris in tighty-whities, John Travolta heavy-petting Idina Menzel's face or John Legend and Common's moving musical performance to their Oscar-winning song, "Glory." Today, many people are talking about the President of the United States. Okay, okay, the fictional President of the United States, but still…people can't stop talking about Francis Underwood, the devilish fake president played by Kevin Spacey on Netflix's House of Cards and the series' dramatic Season 3 trailer. Last week, the third season of the critically acclaimed drama was "accidentally" … Continue reading

Esquire Network documentary series to chronicle Clay Aiken's congressional campaign
Clay Aiken, perhaps the most famous second-place finalist on American Idol (he was runner-up to Ruben Studdard in Season 2), came in second once again yesterday when North Carolina voters chose not to elect him to the House, opting to stick with incumbent representative Renee Ellmers. Had he won in the predominantly Republican 2nd Congressional District, Aiken, who ran as a Democrat, would have been the South's first openly gay representative in Congress. The drama of Clay Aiken's improbable congressional campaign will be chronicled in a four-hour documentary series for Esquire Network, set to premiere on the cable channel in … Continue reading

Scottish independence from the United Kingdom, after a 305-year political union, is up for a vote on Sept. 18, and everyone from pundits and economists to The Simpsons' Groundskeeper Willie has weighed in on the financial, social and political pros and cons of such a move. But on Thursday, the people of Scotland will decide in a referendum whether their home country should be an independent nation or not.

If the 1980s were America's technicolor candy land, filled with shoulder pads and parachute pants, MTV and the Brat Pack, the 90s was the decade that grew us up a little and connected us a lot, in ways that both thrilled and horrified us.

Not long after, HBO offered the witty Brit his own weekly news-satire series.
