Former Archives employee pleads guilty to theft
Tuesday - 10/4/2011, 6:36pm EDT
By JESSICA GRESKO
Associated Press
GREENBELT, Md. (AP) - A former National Archives employee pleaded guilty Tuesday to stealing and selling recordings from his former employer, including an original 1937 sound recording of baseball legend Babe Ruth.
Leslie Charles Waffen, who spent 40 years working at the National Archives and Records Administration, pleaded guilty to stealing property from the agency that safeguards government records including the Declaration of Independence and Constitution. Waffen acknowledged stealing at least 955 "sound recording items" from the archives, which were seized from his Maryland home in October 2010. More than 6,000 items were seized at the time, though Tuesday's hearing in federal court in Greenbelt, Md., did not make clear the nature of the other recordings.
According to a plea agreement Waffen, 66, stole and sold items from the archives between 2001 and 2010, selling some of the recordings on eBay. The sales included an original master recording of Babe Ruth hunting from 1937, which Waffen sold for $34.74.
Prosecutor Arun G. Rao did not disclose the subject of any other recordings that were sold, and Archives Inspector General Paul Brachfeld said he was under strict orders not to reveal more details about what was taken until after sentencing, which is scheduled for March 5, 2012. He did say that the Babe Ruth recording marked the beginning of the investigation into Waffen.
"That's when we knew there was a theft from our holdings," Brachfeld said, adding that the recording was a radio interview Ruth did while quail hunting in 1937.
The recording was part of a series of original recordings donated to the archives in the 1970s and processed by Waffen.
The maximum sentence for the theft is 10 years in prison. Government attorneys are asking that Waffen spend at least a year and a half in prison.
Prosecutors and Waffen's lawyer, Michael Fayad, disagree on the exact amount of the theft. Both sides agree the recordings were worth at least $30,000, though prosecutors argue they are worth over $70,000.
Waffen said little during Tuesday's hearing except to enter a guilty plea and acknowledge he understood the details. He and his lawyer declined comment following the hearing.
The U.S. Attorney for the District of Maryland, Rod Rosenstein, said in a statement that the theft was especially egregious because Waffen was a high-ranking employee who violated "his obligation to protect historical records." "These items were entrusted to the National Archives to be used by all citizens, not to be auctioned for personal profit to the highest bidder," he said. The head of the National Archives, David S. Ferriero, also put out a statement condemning Waffen's theft and adding that security at the administration's facilities has been heightened.

SEC case dismissed against ex-San Diego official caught in pension scandal
But Webster said that was an incorrect perception. Others were aware that earnings for pension systems and other investments had cratered at that time and she wasn't hiding anything.
She said she used "EEEK" for a less sinister reason: She had been told in a management seminar on email communications to put a catchy phrase in the subject line to make sure her email was read.
The various prosecutions have put the city on the hook for potentially millions of dollars in legal fees for all of the defendants. For the SEC case, the city paid $200,000 for Webster's legal expenses. Claims for legal fees for defense lawyers in the state and federal criminal cases total about $6.1 million, with Webster's legal debt at $1.3 million. The city has rejected those claims, and a suit seeking payment for the state fees is pending.

'Skin Wars' guest judge Lynda Carter: 'It's shocking' what they can do with body paintAdd to Favorites | Skin Wars
When former "Wonder Woman" star Lynda Carter agreed to appear as a guest judge on "Skin Wars," she expected to have a good time with her friend RuPaul. However, it was the amazement of seeing what the contestants are able to create with body paint that really blew her away.
"I knew I'd have a wonderful time, but it's also just this astonishing art form," she tells Zap2it. "When you think about it, it's hard enough putting your own makeup on, or certainly putting makeup on somebody. You've got a three-dimensional canvas. It changes from being hot to cold, it breathes, it perspires, it moves, it laughs and it does all these things."
"Skin Wars" takes that canvas to a whole other level, as they mask the human body in a way that completely changes its shape. "It's shocking. The shades of making something has sharp edges when the human body has no sharp edges," she says. "It's astonishing."
It's no easy job either, as Carter believes it takes a special kind of patience and endurance for not only the artists, but also their models. "I am so intolerant of makeup chairs by this point in my career," she admits. "It's torture just to get the nails and the hair. In my shows, I have it down to I can get ready in about 45 minutes. For these people, it's all day."
The body art isn't the only thing Carter hopes people take away from her appearance, though. She also wants the world to know the RuPaul she knows. "I hope they show some of the asides that RuPaul says when he's not being professional on camera, because he's the funniest guy," she says.
Carter appears as guest judge on the next episode of "Skin Wars," airing Wednesday, Aug. 27, at 9 p.m. ET/PT on GSN.

Infomercials are the bane of every hoarder's existence, but are dangerous to everyone. They bombard us with images of crap we really don't need, but somehow seem to convince plenty of us non-hoarders to pay for stuff that immediately goes into storage or out at the garage sale. What sorcery is this? How are otherwise sane and rational people roped into paying for products that, let's be honest, we all know aren't going to work? Here are 5 ways infomercials sell us on their literal garbage.

Personally, I find that taking the ball on the rise is the best way to defeat pushers. Taking the ball on the rise gives the pusher less time to recover and get to the next ball which is the most formidable weapon for a pusher. Be patient and take the ball on the rise as much as possible. You will see the result.

Ungood Fellas
The last decade of the twentieth century was not a happy one for the Mafia. During the nineties both the United States and Italy made remarkable strides in curbing organized crime, imprisoning gangsters and dismantling their business interests. Though it would be premature to declare either the Italian or the American Mafia dead, both have been wounded, the latter perhaps mortally. But if the Mafia is a shadow of its former self, you'd hardly know it from pop culture. In fact, media images of La Cosa Nostra seem to be proliferating in direct proportion to the decline of organized crime. Not since Francis Ford Coppola's The Godfather reinvented the gangster genre in the early seventies have there been so many wiseguys on screen. The past year brought the films Analyze This and Mickey Blue Eyes, and with i fratelli Weinstein, Harvey and Bob, having acquired the rights to the late Mario Puzo's final novel, Omertà, for their Miramax Films, there's at least one other high-profile Mafia movie on the way. Another may well be the fourth installment of Coppola's Godfather saga. According to the Hollywood Reporter, Leonardo Di Caprio and Andy Garcia (Al Pacino's nephew in Godfather III) are keen to sign on to the project, pending a suitable script.
On television, gangsters with Italian surnames have been a surefire audience draw, from the days of The Untouchables to contemporary cop shows like NYPD Blue. A very partial list of recent programs includes the network miniseries The Last Don and Bella Mafia, as well as biopics about John Gotti and his turncoat lieutenant Sammy "The Bull" Gravano, and, on Showtime cable, an absurdly hagiographic one about Joseph Bonanno produced by his son, Bill. But no mob-themed show has generated the critical accolades and viewer enthusiasm accorded The Sopranos, the Emmy Award-winning HBO comedy-drama that has become the cable network's most-watched series, its recent second-season premiere attended by an avalanche of hype.
Moving from The Sopranos' suburban New Jersey turf to Palermo, HBO last fall premiered Excellent Cadavers, a feature- film adaptation of Alexander Stille's 1995 book about the anti-Mafia campaign launched by two courageous Sicilian magistrates. Why is Italian-American (and Italian) organized crime such a mainstay of American pop culture, and do these images reflect the reality of the Mafia? And does the persistence of the Mafioso as a pop-culture archetype constitute ethnic defamation of Italian-Americans?
That many of today's depictions of the American Mafia are in the comic mode--The Sopranos, Analyze This, Mickey Blue Eyes, the parody Mafia!--is possible only because organized crime is much less fearsome than in its heyday. Both The Sopranos and Analyze This feature Mafiosi on the verge of a nervous breakdown, their psychological crackups reflecting the disarray of their criminal enterprises under the pressure of law enforcement and the breaking of omertà, the code of silence, by gangsters who'd rather sing than serve time. V. Zucconi, a commentator for the Italian newspaper La Repubblica, analyzed this development in an article titled "America: The Decline of the Godfather." Zucconi claims that in the United States the Mafia survives mainly in its pop-culture representations, and that while it used to generate fear, today it is a source of humor. He says that in America one can observe "the funeral of the dying Mafia," an outcome he hopes one day will occur also in Italy. Is Zucconi overoptimistic?
Criminologist James Jacobs reaches a similar conclusion in his study Gotham Unbound: How New York City was Liberated from the Clutches of Cosa Nostra (NYU Press). Organized-crime-control strategies "have achieved significant success in purging Cosa Nostra from the city's social, economic, and political life," he writes. Gangsters in New York, and also in other large and small cities, are losing their foothold in the labor and industrial rackets that have been the source of their power and influence; and there is a dearth of younger, rising stars to replace aging or incarcerated leaders. The decline, says Jacobs, has been so marked that "Cosa Nostra's survival into the next millennium...can be seriously doubted." It's a different story in Italy. The Sicilian Mafia's economic might, its alliances with politicians and indifferent law enforcement enabled it to grow so powerful that it threatened Italy's status as a modern nation. As Alexander Stille observed in Excellent Cadavers, the war against the Mafia in Sicily is not a local problem of law and order but the struggle for national unity and democracy in Italy. HBO's film based on Stille's book promised to tell that story, but, at barely ninety minutes, it ended up too compressed to offer more than a skim on the events he reported and analyzed so compellingly. Talk about missed opportunities: Instead of the Z-like political thriller it could have been, Cadavers is a rather routine policier.
In the eighties, Mafia killings accelerated as ambitious upstarts from Corleone (a real place, Godfather fans) challenged the Palermo old guard for the control of organized crime. The body count included not only Mafiosi but also police officials, magistrates and politicians, who came to be called, with fine Sicilian mordancy, excellent cadavers. Two magistrates, Giovanni Falcone and Paolo Borsellino, began to pursue the Mafia with unprecedented persistence. Their efforts culminated in the historic "maxi-trials," which resulted in the imprisonment of hundreds of Sicily's most powerful gangsters.
The Mafia, of course, retaliated, assassinating Falcone in May 1992 and, two months later, Borsellino. The murders, however, ignited the simmering rage of Sicilians against the Mafia and the officials who protected it. The government was forced to respond, and the subsequent crackdown resulted in the arrest of numerous Mafiosi and connected businessmen and politicians.
Italians overwhelmingly regard Mafiosi as the other; they do not identify or empathize with criminals, nor do they feel that portrayals of organized crime in movies, television and other media tar them with the brush of criminality. Many Italian-Americans, however, regard the seemingly endless stream of Mafia movies and TV shows as a defamatory assault. In mid-January a coalition of seven Italian-American organizations issued a joint statement condemning The Sopranos for "defaming and assassinating the cultural character" of Americans of Italian descent.

This is a great area to visit in Bishop. Its offers amazing views over the valley and of the mountains surrounding and is one of my favorite spots to visit.

Beautiful trails and great bouldering opportunties; for kids and adults. Very quiet and vast; relaxing and invigorating...
Took the loop about 3/4 around. The last portion was just too rough. We have encountered many out back roads that have suffered form water erosion. The view from the high point is fantastic. The day we were there it was windy enough that we did not get out of the SUV. And I don't mean breeze. Without the wind...
The Peabody Boulders in the Buttermilks west of Bishop are not your average, garden-variety stones. About 55 feet tall, the gigantic Grandpa and Grandma Peabody (once a single boulder) are two of the world's largest, and present challenging problems to even the most advanced climbers.

Scenic drive, ending into Lake Sabrina, North Lake and South Lake, beautiful lakes and creek, with a lot of fish, and areas where you can launch your boat. Worth driving and seeing!
This place is well known for bouldering, but rest assured: as someone who intends never to boulder in her life, I love the Buttermilks. You can make it through the Buttermilks, a short ride from Bishop, with a sedan, but SUV with 4WD is optimal. It's great for a switch from the mountains we hike -- less of a challenge,...

Performance-wise, PK-1 is a contender for the top spot as it beat other major brands of thermal compound in the market. To maintain top condition, we highly recommend reapplying PK-1 every year.

Rating: 4/5So far, great TIM
This review is from: Prolimatech PRO-PK1-30G PK-1 Thermal Compound - 30 Gram
Pros: Dropped my temps by 3C (22C at idle, 34C max on my Phenom II X4) from what it was with Arctic Silver 5, which beat AS Ceramique.
Cons: When I attempted to twist off the cap on the syringe, which is a regular syringe (and the 'cap' is the part that normally holds a needle), the inner spout broke off inside the cap, so I twisted the cap in permanently, cut off the tip to open a channel through it, and put a rubber cap over it. I was not going to send it back or risk contaminating the contents by squirting it into another syringe. Cheap plastic on something that was probably made in China? Who would've guessed?
Other Thoughts: I researched this very well before making a purchase. There as so many reviews/tests that show the best pastes swapping each other for the top spots that I finally decided to just go with the one of the top 10 with the best thermal conductance along with meeting my other needs: easy to spread, non-electrical, non-capacitive, non-corrosive, no cure time, long lasting and cheap. This seems to work very well -- or maybe I'm just good at applying it.

Love occupied the front seat as the trial into the grim episode of rape and assault of a telephone operator inside the Shakti Mills compound came to an end with the sentencing of four monsters. As copies of the verdict were made available on Monday, the story of the victim's boyfriend, who stood by her through thick and thin, filled everyone's hearts.
In her 192-page order, Sessions Principal Judge Shalini Phansalkar-Joshi has heavily praised the young man for his courage and unflinching support to the 19-year-old victim.
The copy of verdict, accessed by dna, says that witness Prathamesh (name changed to protect the identity of the victim and her friend) is only 20 and was subjected to criminal force by the accused.
It reads, "Prathamesh is not a person who will run away leaving his girlfriend in trouble. In the witness box also he has reiterated his resolve to marry her. He remained with her in the moments of crisis."
Judge Phansalkar-Joshi goes on to say that Prathamesh took the victim to a friend's village, got her examined by a doctor and stayed there for a month till she recovered a bit. The youth then brought her to Mumbai and filed a police complaint. "During the entire investigation and trial process, he has stood by her side, which goes to his credit," says the order.
The court further held that Prathamesh needed to be patted on his back for being with the victim and coming forward to give evidence as and when required. Elaborating on the kind of evidence recorded by the prosecution, the court said, "In this case, the sole testimony of the prosecutrix (victim) itself is sufficient to clinch the guilt of the accused"
The Sessions court had on March 20 convicted Ashfaq Shaikh (25), Kasim Shaikh (20), Salim Ansari (27) and Vijay Jadhav (18) for raping the telephone operator and assaulting her boyfriend on Shakti Mills premises on July 31, 2013. The court has sentenced the four to life imprisonment.

F800GS - RXV Shiver'ed Fork Conversion

In typical BMW style the XC has cheaper more compromised fork internals compared to "proper" Shiver internals. That being said, they aren't as cheap and crappy as the F800GS bits. They have proper compresssion damping adjustment on one fork and a more limited rebound adjustment on the other. Both adjustments are on top of the fork like the rebound adjustments on "real" shiver forks. Therefore you don't have to machine the fork bottoms for the compression adjusters and they literally are a drop in mod. The best part about them compared to the original 800 cartridges is that they appear to have hydraulic bottoming circuits so that I no longer have that terrible crashing, clunky bottoming happening.
It would have been very cheap and easy for BMW to have used cartridges like the XC (and HP2) ones in the F800GS. Some people would have found that they weren't good enough, but most people would have been happy, and they would have had some adjustment to play with.
YMMV as they say, but I'm pretty happy with the 800's suspension now. The rear (with Hyperpro progressive spring) is now the weak link, but I'm not sure I could really justify big, expensive changes at the moment, it all seeems to work pretty well. THe suspension people who did the work for me have a rebuild with modification for the rear shock, so maybe I'll go that way later.

ACI Worldwide's Point to Point Encryption Solution Helps Protect South Africans' Cardholder Data at Point of Sale ACI enables Ecentric, South Africa's leading payments processor, to better serve its customers' PCI compliance needs Business Wire NAPLES, Fla. -- June 5, 2014 ACI Worldwide (NASDAQ: ACIW), a leading international provider ofelectronic paymentand bankingsystems,today announced that Ecentric Payment Systems, South Africa's leading payments processor, is utilizing ACI's Point to Point Encryption (P2PE) solution to provide a more secure path for consumer transactions initiated at many of the largest retailers in Africa. P2PE is an emerging encryption techniquein the payments industrythat protects sensitive cardholder data in transit—asit is transmitted froma merchant's store to itsacquiring bank. Ecentric processes nearly 400 million transactions per year for retailers, and as more African markets develop and mature and South African retailers expand into other countries across the Continent, this number is quickly increasing. A long-standing ACI customer, Ecentric has broadened this relationship and is relying on ACI's P2PE solution to protect sensitive cardholder data across its customer base. "As payment technology advances across Africa, we are seeing tremendous growth opportunities for retailers, resulting in greater choice for consumers. But this growth also presents significant challenges—from protecting cardholder data to reducing the scope and expense of PCI compliance for merchants and related service providers," said Mike Scott, Managing Director, Ecentric. "We have a long-standing relationship with ACI and the company's proven P2PE offerings are at the foundation of our data protection strategy." "Protecting cardholder data is paramount to retailers and compromises can result in devastating and immediate losses in terms of both business and trust," said Paul Thomalla, Senior Vice President and General Manager, EMEA, ACI Worldwide. "With such high stakes, retailers and processors from around the world are realizing the importance of secure and turnkey point to point encryption and are turning to us to secure this sensitive data from the point of origin." About ACI Worldwide ACI Worldwide, the Universal Payments company, powers electronic payments and banking for more than 5,000 financial institutions, retailers, billers and processors around the world.

"If every beginning is a summit, then every summit is a beginning."
I could not recognise him. Was he the same person who was walking with a regal gait? Wherefrom has this awkward 'sickle bending' come about? Where is his authoritative voice and why is he meowing meekly? He looks run down, as if struck by a fiend. How could a week or 10 days diffuse a man's personality unrecognisably?
A common friend told me that he has been this way since his retirement. Pathetic. A glorious academic record and brilliance at work become meaningless the moment you hang up your boots? But then, this is the harsh and embarrassing reality of many who become a bundle of nerves; forlorn, and willingly get sucked into a vortex of self-pity as they become out of place in their own sweet home.
If you observe deeply, you will understand that they are so because they do not know what to do with themselves.
People who mistake responsibility for power are disillusioned immediately after retirement as official designations disappear and, all of a sudden, the crutches have left them.
No one is at your beck and call anymore. Yesterday, they were all singing your praise but today, they find it difficult to recognise you!
From today, you have to contend with several harsh realities like creating residence proof, being given a sit-up by the unlettered bunch in a cooking gas agency, the horror of unconfirmed tickets and being the first choice to fetch milk sachets in the morning to escorting grandchildren to the school and so on.
Welcome to the reality which you have refused to see so far; smart you thought you were, cloaked in an official position. This disillusionment and the ensuing shock and sadness are noticed even among the mild-mannered, well meaning, and enviably genuine people.
In this very world where millions of people do not have a morsel of food, you, with all your retirement benefits, look sad, which is bad indeed. Come! Let us get over this self-inflicted malady.
As one who embraced this so-called retirement a decade before it was due and is leading an active life of joy and peace, it would not be inappropriate for me to share a few personal learnings:
Do not die before it is due: "Weakness is death." Anything that weakens us and weans us away from our original nature of ceaseless joy must be shunned. We are here not to be lost in unjustifiable gloom but to radiate cheer and happiness. Just get up and walk in the glorious sun that illuminates everything with its golden rays.
Understand health, stay healthy: Health is not just related to the body. Physical health is achieved by eating, exercising and resting responsibly. Emotional health is obtained by associating oneself with some fine art or the other. Listening to good music is the easiest way to sublimate the raging emotions. Music is a magic wand that converts raw emotion into revering devotion.
Intellectual health depends on the company you keep and the books you read. Keep company with children and the wise old. Artless grace, beaming in abundance in the face of a child, disarms us instantly. A child is fascinating because it reminds us of the innocence we have lost under a heap of information that we mistook for knowledge.
The secret behind the success of all great achievers is this: They never allowed the child in them to grow up. Even at the height of the Second World War, Sir Winston Churchill would have his "do not disturb" luxury of half an hour, to read his favourite comics! And, seek the wise old who have walked the path before us and are ready to share the lessons that they have learnt in their long and interesting journey.
Family, the fulcrum: A captain is only as good as his team. You are what you are, thanks to the unrecognised support of your family. Spend quality time with them at least from now on. Compensate for what you missed while rearing your children, through your grandchildren.
Spirituality, the great reality: Everything is material — the world, life, body and even dream — but we are essentially spirit that is free and pure. "All human beings are originally and ultimately divine." You become divine when you discover you are divine. You arrive there by casting aside whatever is not you. Anything that binds, blinds and constricts is not you. Your body, mind and intellect are not you but are yours.
Realisation is nothing but constant remembrance of the truth. Spirituality begins where religion ends, though it does not have any quarrel with formal religion. Spirituality is above morals though it cannot have any conflict with morality. For anyone who is serious about it and earnest in its pursuit, not only are its doors ajar but it becomes an ever growing, everyday reality.
Soul is not an invention but the greatest discovery. It is not a thing to be located but a reality to be realised.
Begin simply. Pray every morning and evening, for the welfare of the nation, the well-being of your family and friends and for making your inner journey smooth. "Prayer lends purity. Purity gives strength to prayer. This is how great things are achieved."
Really, life begins only after retirement. Take a walk! The winding road is waiting for you!

Buffett: Stocks are good buy; ketchup is forever
Tuesday - 3/5/2013, 5:50am EST
AP Business Writer
Warren Buffet says stocks are a good investment, long-term government bonds are a dumb one, and ketchup is forever.
The billionaire investor covered a range of topics in a CNBC interview on Monday, including his purchase of ketchup maker Heinz, the "meat ax" of automatic budget cuts, and what's going to happen when the Federal Reserve stops pumping money into the economy.
Warren Buffett has long been bullish on stocks, and still is. But they're likely to be hurt when interest rates rise, he said.
Cheap loans make it easy to get money to invest. And low returns on bank savings make stocks more attractive.
Buffett predicted that those low interest rates won't go on forever.
"If interest rates go up dramatically, all assets will go down in value," he said.
Buffet says he'd still rather own stocks than other options such as farmland, junk bonds, real estate trusts, or long-term government bonds.
"They're not as cheap as they were four years ago" during the financial crisis and stock market selloff, he said in an interview on CNBC on Monday. "But you get more for your money" compared to other investments.
He called long-term government bonds "the dumbest investment." Interest rates are much lower than usual. If they rise, bond investors could see the price of their bonds drop. That's because bond prices fall when interest rates rise.
Buffett said money managers will be selling some investments when the Fed stops pumping extra money into the economy. He says it will be a "very interesting day" when it becomes clear the Fed has reversed direction.
"We've never had the degree of disgorgement that might be called for down the line, and who knows how it will play out. It will be noticeable," he said.
Buffett said that in 50 years of deciding whether to buy companies, he has never taken long-term economic worries into account. That includes his recent deal to buy Heinz. Last month he agreed to work with 3G Capital to buy the H.J. Heinz Co. for $23.3 billion.
"Charlie and I will talk about the business, we will not get into discussions about the Fed or whatever," he said, referring to Charles Munger, Berkshire's vice chairman. Buffett noted that he bought his first stock in 1942 during World War II, when the U.S. was losing the war in the Pacific.
Buying a company cheaply enough means that future economic shocks won't wreck a deal. He predicted that Berkshire Hathaway will own Heinz 100 years from now. "Heinz is forever, as far as we're concerned," he said.
Buffett said the automatic spending cuts that went into effect over the weekend are a "meat-ax way" to cut spending. But considering all the government spending and Federal Reserve cash infusions, spending probably has to be cut one way or another.
"You may have to use the meat ax first," he said, "and then people kind of look at their handiwork and say, 'We have to do better than this.'"
Buffett's company has been buying papers. Berkshire Hathaway will own 28 daily newspapers in small and mid-sized cities once its acquisition of the Tulsa World is complete.
And there are more to buy. Last month Tribune Co. said it has hired investment bankers to help it sell its newspapers, which include the Chicago Tribune and the Los Angeles Times.
"No thanks," Buffett said when asked about buying those two papers.
He said the papers that are going to make money will be those in a tight-knit community that wants local news.
He said that the smaller papers have smaller profit margins than most other companies that Berkshire Hathaway invests in.

Craigslist to drop 'erotic services' classifieds
CHICAGO A month after the killing of a masseuse who advertised on Craigslist, the classified ad site announced plans Wednesday to eliminate its "erotic services" category and screen all submissions to a new "adult services" section before they are posted.
Law enforcement officials praised the move as a victory against online prostitution, but they acknowledged doubts about whether the changes will curb the practice.
"I'm not going to take their word for it. We want to see action," said Dan Gallagher, an attorney representing Cook County Sheriff Tom Dart, who sued Craigslist in March, accusing it of being the nation's biggest source of prostitution.
The announcement marked a significant policy change for Craigslist, which in the past has never pre-screened ads, choosing instead to remove them only after receiving complaints. The new adult services ads will also carry a fee.
Skeptical authorities said the Web site had broken previous promises to monitor erotic ads.
New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo had even harsher words, saying that Wednesday's announcement came only after his office informed Craigslist a criminal probe had implicated the site.
"Rather than work with this office to prevent further abuses, in the middle of the night, Craigslist took unilateral action which we suspect will prove to be half-baked," he said in a statement.
Craigslist did little to address those concerns. The Web site refused to comment beyond a prepared statement and left unanswered a host of questions about how the site could possibly screen all the ads.
"It doesn't guarantee that such activity will not pop up elsewhere, and it doesn't guarantee that it won't pop up elsewhere using highly coded words," said Steve Jones, a communications professor at the University of Illinois at Chicago.
Jones said it will not be long before someone fills the void left by Craigslist's "erotic services" section.
"By now someone has probably registered the domain name 'Craigslisteroticicservices.com,'" Jones said.
Although authorities had expressed concern about the ads in the past, the Web site came under closer scrutiny last month after a Boston-area man was accused of fatally shooting a woman who placed an ad on Craigslist.
Police believe 22-year-old Philip Markoff may have been involved in other crimes against women who also posted ads on Craigslist. Some reports have suggested he was robbing victims to pay gambling debts.
Craigslist officials and attorneys general from Illinois, Connecticut and Missouri met last week to seek an end to the ads. Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan said the group told Craigslist that authorities' own checks had revealed the service was not monitoring the site as it had promised last year.
After receiving complaints about nude photographs, Connecticut Attorney General Richard Blumenthal brokered an agreement with the site in November to crack down on prostitution ads.
The erotic services ads currently posted will expire in seven days. The new "adult services" section was already up on Wednesday.
Law enforcement promised to keep a close eye on Craigslist as it implemented the changes. Madigan said there was a risk that the reforms could just drive prostitution to other platforms, but she insisted authorities will monitor those sites, too.

It has nice checkering and solid build quality. The trigger also seems good. That said, I don't buy railed 1911s. Seeing it prompted me to order the FX45 Military model, which is also nice. Of course it doesn't have the Thunderbolt's features, but its also $200 cheaper.

They basically say the same thing for every 1911 they make. No specs or anything LOL. If i found one for $600, Id probably give it a go. It has a magwell and front strap checkering, So it has the externals i wish the Spartan came with, but probably not as good internally as the Spartan majette08-02-2010, 20:03That said, I don't buy railed 1911s. you are missing out, even if you dont plan on attaching anything pick up a mc operator for the collection. http://a.imageshack.us/img834/5920/mcoptarg.jpg vBulletin® v3.8.7, Copyright ©2000-2015, vBulletin Solutions, Inc.

These bars look great on my truck. Really like the quality. Installation was a snap on the drivers side although the front bracket needs to be redesigned because it puts a lot of pressure on the emergency brake cable. Passenger side had factory overspray paint on the factory mounting bolts which was hard to remove and caused worry about cross threading. Black stainless bolts had hardened paint in the hex heads which made it difficult to tighten and had to be scraped out.

"What does not kill you will make you stronger."
-- Friedrich Nietzsche
Surprisingly, all pundits, financial gurus, the famous man-in-the-street and yes, even your mom all agree on one thing: business conditions this challenging have not been seen in most people's lifetimes. (And hopefully will not be seen again!) Yet you, as a small business entrepreneur, have the great privilege of determining your own financial future. A wonderful opportunity – if you do it right!
Last month we examined several "Early Warning Systems" that identify business problems before they grow into malignant cancers that can threaten your entire company. These EWS included systems that dig out loser employees, unhappy customers and hidden financial problems.
But all this macro-analysis can lead to the ugly problem of "not seeing the forest for the trees." It is just all too easy to lose sight of the big picture in business.
The very best way to get the big picture of your business? Just walk around! Great business managers and entrepreneurs have always seen the need to actively involve themselves in the actual work of their company. In 1982 Thomas Peters and Robert Waterman popularized the term "Management By Walking Around" in their hugely successful book, In Search of Excellence. The authors focused on large companies and how easily management can lose touch with their employees. But small entrepreneurs can use MBWA to their benefit too.
If you have employees, it is a no-brainer to keep in touch with them (see last month's column for some great ideas on staying close to your people emotionally). But carpet cleaning businesses of any size face an even greater challenge: it is all too easy to lose the big picture with your clients. So how can MBWA help you?
So therefore to be truly successful in this walking around game, you have to "Look Through Your Customer's Eyeglasses." Here are some great questions, along with the answers I would humbly propose.
- Who is your customer? The hardest thing to grasp is that you are not your customer! When I compared myself to my typical customer, I realized they were better educated, wealthier, usually older, more stressed out and definitely less mechanically and technically focused. (And, of course, not nearly as good looking!) Now, if all of the above was true of me as a more-or-less successful business owner, imagine the emotional gulf between the homeowner and my 23-year-old technician!
- What has your customer's history been with previous carpet cleaners? Sadly, you probably already know the answer. In public opinion polls, carpet cleaners consistently rank right down there with used car dealers and late-night hucksters. (However, we still rank above attorneys!) Seriously, though, your first-time customer very likely is going to be nervous, suspicious, cynical and even a bit hostile simply because of his or her bad experiences with other carpet cleaners. Once again, how can your company set itself apart from the crowd? By focusing on what I call the "Three A's"- Appearance, Actions and Attitude!
- What are their current circumstances? Empathy is defined as "the ability to identify with and understand somebody else's feelings or difficulties." This customer compassion is essential if you are going to successfully LTYCE. (This empathy is especially important if you offer emergency water-damage service.) And yet, we all too often fall short in this area. Why?
- You (or your employee) are stressed out, running behind and all too often are only focused on banging the job out, or
- The carpet cleaner doesn't know or care about what the homeowner is dealing with in their life. Why bother with all this feel-good stuff?
- How does the homeowner decide if your company has done a "good job" or a "bad job"? By far the biggest factor is their relationship with the person actually doing the work. If this individual is you, with your sparkling personality, congratulations! You are home free! (At least until one day when your aching body means that your scrub wand doesn't look as inviting as it did 20 years ago!) But if you are leaving this all-important relationship in the hands of the typical 23-year-old "I could care less" technician, the next question should make you a bit nervous.
- What will make your customer want to do business with you again? When you LTYCE, you realize a homeowner will come back again and again only if you can consistently provide them three things:
- Provide a "solution" to their problem. Most of us do a decent job at this. Dirty carpets? Bingo! Sparkling clean carpet! Making carpets at least "look clean" is relatively easy given today's equipment, chemicals and technical training. But here is your challenge. Just getting the carpet clean is not enough to differentiate your company from your competition and create customer loyalty.
- Make it "easy." Customers are more stressed today than ever before. So LTYCE and ask, "Is my company simple and easy to do business with?" For example, do you offer extended hours, flexible scheduling and different pricing options? How about online scheduling and a professionally produced Web site that allows your customer to research his or her options before calling you? So now you have made it simple for the customer to work with you. Great! You are already ahead of the pack. But to slam dunk the competition, you once again should focus on your customer's emotions.
- Give them "good feelings". That's right. You may have the biggest, baddest truckmounts around and workers who are well trained technically. But what is the "vibe" of your company? Are you personally fun to do business with? How about your employees? Remember, nobody really enjoys the disruption of having their carpets cleaned. At best, your visit is viewed by the homeowner as a tolerated irritation! However, you can ease the pain of this semi-annoying transaction by bringing a bit of cheer and good humor to your customer's day.

Fire-Tek™ Firebrick set comes with 1 back piece, 1 left piece, 1 right piece and installation instructions. It is a brick pattern and is considerably more attractive and much more durable than the original tan-brown colored soft fiber cera board that comes with a new stove or any after market Cera board (Cera is an abreviation for Ceramic). The Cera boards have tendencies to soften with use and puncture easily as they get older whereas this material actually gets harder after the first few fires.
This Fire-Tek™ firebrick set is new and comes with a 90 day warranty, however it will outlast Cera board under similar useage. It is a high temperature insulating material made from exfoliated minerals that are mined in N. America, S. America, Asia & Africa. This material is commonly used in wood stove fireboxes throughout Europe because of it's high temperature insulating values and it's ability to withstand moderate abuse. This set is precision manufactured on a CNC machine to fit the Whitfield Advantage stove models listed above that are 12 3/4" tall. This firebrick set is not made by Lennox.

Updated; crew members wanted to sail from portsmouth ri
OK, we will try this again. Last year I posted for a crew member for some long distance cruising, my ultimate goal is Australia. A female companion to share expenses and live the cruising life. People on this site accused me of trying to procure a boat U know what, I was appalled at the response's. On my first trip bringing this boat up from Annapolis to New England I was attacked onboard in Baltimore by a Male crew member, I do not wish to repeat the experience. So I believe my choice in whom I would like to crew with me is mine. Plus, my best racing crew was mostly female, what great sailors they were. This go round, I am looking for some crew members to enjoy this boat with me cruising from Portsmouth RI to places like, Marthas Vineyard, Cuttyhunk, block Island, Etc. I am recovering from a severe injury to my right leg, and could use some help. I do prefer females, but I will consider males also. Everyone will be screened carefully for obvious reasons. I am a gracious host, and known for taking care of my crew. I have taught many to sail, and would enjoy passing my knowledge to many more. There is a full picture spread of my "JO" under albums in my public profile. Look forward to meeting you, and may the wind be at your back. Captain La, because no one calls me Larry lol

Latest Southern African Large Telescope Stories
Astrophysicists writing in The Astrophysical Journal have shed some new light on the universe's brightest objects - quasars.
The first truly global telescope came a significant step closer to completion this month with the installation and first light on three new 1-meter telescopes at the South Africa Astronomical Observatory (SAAO) near Sutherland, South Africa.
Astronomers around the world are taking part in a marathon in celebration of the 400th anniversary of Galileo's first use of a telescope in 1609.
Starting Wednesday, March 26, Provencal--who is an assistant professor of physics and astronomy at the University of Delaware, director of the Delaware Asteroseismic Research Center (DARC), and resident astronomer at Mt. Cuba Astronomical Observatory in Greenville, Del.--will be coordinating some of the world's largest telescopes in a three-week-long "international observing run,†focusing on a white dwarf known as IU Vir in the constellation Virgo. The star's coordinates are...
One of the world's most powerful telescopes will begin spying on the universe on Friday, using its 34-foot wide mirror to search for planets similar to our own from a mountaintop on one of Spain's Canary Islands.
In the beginning all was smooth. And now all is scattered. How this process unfolded long ago is one of the secrets scientists hope to unlock with the Southern African Large Telescope (SALT) which was launched in a remote corner of South Africa's Karoo region on Thursday.
By Ed Stoddard JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) - South Africa will launch the largest telescope in the southern hemisphere next week and aims to put itself on the map as a destination for star-gazing tourists, the country's science minister said on Friday.
South Africa will launch the largest telescope in the southern hemisphere next week and aims to put itself on the map as a destination for star-gazing tourists, the country's science minister said on Friday.
Five years after breaking ground on a South African mountaintop near the edge of the Kalahari desert, astronomers today (Sept. 1, 2005) released the first images captured by the Southern African Large Telescope (SALT), now the equal of the world's largest optical telescope and a prized window to the night skies of the southern hemisphere.
