I don't think Nolan Ryan is big on P.R.
Mar 18, 2010, 9:57 AM EDT
I was on Sirius XM's MLB Home Plate this morning and I was asked something I hadn't considered before that moment: In light of the Rangers' decision to give Ron Washington a second chance, will it now be harder to fire him for poor performance than it would be to fire any other manager? I took that to mean would it be harder from a PR perspective and would it be construed as caving to media pressure or something.
My answer, which now that I've had an hour to think on it I feel even more strongly about: Nolan Ryan is the last guy who cares about petty public relations games. My guess is that Washington will keep his job as long as the team contends and that if the team disappoints, he'll be fired. And when he is fired, Ryan will say "I
fired him because we stink," and that'll be that.
I think we in the media tend to over think the PR implications of everything, and that the whole "fire Washington/don't fire Washington" thing is an example of that. There were and there still are far more important considerations than PR in this situation: would keeping Washington last year be a bad move for the team? Would it be good or bad for him as a person? Would disciplining him last year raise employment law concerns? Same too with firing him at some undetermined point in the future, although in that case the biggest question by far is whether or not Washington maintains control of the team and puts them in a position to win baseball games.
Which is what every manager is up against. Not too many of them get to leave their jobs on their own terms. Bobby Cox will this fall. Tony La Russa, Joe Torre and probably Lou Piniella will. Maybe Ron Gardenhire. Everyone else? They get canned eventually. Unless he wins a ring or two, Ron Washington will someday as well. And when it happens, I don't think anyone will be thinking too hard about the cocaine.
(BTW: how often do you think Nolan Ryan is asked to pose this way for pictures)

He's probably not big on P.R. Just hope he doesn't think P.R. stands for something he doesn't like, then he'll be big on punching you in the snout craig! LOL!

Sure, while I was getting b'fast at work. Figures. I woulda called to heckle.

He definitely doesn't care about PR. Trust me, I know firsthand.
- Charles Gates - Mar 18, 2010 at 11:20 AM
Not putting a high value on PR is different than being ignorant of it. The first is an organizational strategy. The second has the real potential to alienate a lot of fans.

Scioscia maybe could be added to the list

Nolan Ryan for Commissioner of Baseball!!!!!!!
Time to go, Bud, and get someone in the job who actually cares about the game and the fans, and not making money for the owners.
- Jack Marshall - Mar 18, 2010 at 1:11 PM
It's one thing to say that the decision won't be driven by PR, and another to argue that a manager who has tested positive for cocaine mid-season isn't down a couple strikes. Are you really saying that if the Rangers look shaky, and a manager who hadn't tested positive would hold on to his job by the hairs on his chinny-chin-chin, a manager who HAD tested positive will also, on Nolan's team or anyone else's? Because I think that's both unrealistic and naive…a little like saying that E. Dukes was only released for "baseball reasons."
- jwb - Mar 18, 2010 at 2:41 PM
By all accounts I've read, Ron Washington is a very likable guy. Likable guys catch breaks, people want to be nice to them. As long as he flies straight (attends counseling sessions, passes frequent piss tests) this won't be held against him.
By all accounts I've read, Elijah Dukes is a PITA. PITAs don't catch breaks.
Did you see that Milton Bradley got tossed for a relatively minor transgression?
- Morgan W - Mar 18, 2010 at 3:21 PM
How can this manager possibly tell young players to get in line when he is out 'trying' coke last season ?????
So every player has one so called 'get out of jail free' card if they misbehave/slack/turn up late following a big night/test positive for class A narcotics ???
Could be a great guy/great manager but hes got to go!

Raf Simons Hi-Top Sneaker
Raf Simmons has released this pair of hi-top sneakers that I find interesting. The clean white leather really pops due to the bold black lining that is found throughout the shoes. I think the black lining against the white sort of reminds me of a Piet Mondrian sans the coloring and the velcro straps add to the overall look.

Staff Reporter
Thrissur: A conference on 'Geriatric mental health', organised by the Indian Association for Geriatric Mental Health (IAGMH) here on Sunday observed that 'cognitive reserve' may delay onset of dementia.
'Cognitive reserve' refers to the mind's resilience to neuropathological brain damage. Chittaranjan Andrade, professor of Psychopharmacology from the National Institute of Mental Health and Neuro Sciences (NIMHANS), Bangalore, said that brain had large number of neurons capable of carrying out cognitive activities such as memory.
'Cognitive decline'
"These neurons are interconnected and each neuron is connected to at least a thousand others. If we use neurons for cognitive tasks, they will develop more such links. A person engaging in cognitive activities will have a better developed network of neurons. This will increase his 'cognitive reserve'. Better cognitive reserve fights cognitive decline in old age," he said.
Not much cheer, however, for couch potatoes. For, passive activities such as watching TV do not build 'cognitive reserve'. Only activities such as reading, organising, calculating and problem-solving do.
Physical exercise
Dr. Andrade referred to the positive effects of physical exercise in preventing cognitive disorders. Aerobics help prevent or delay onset of cognitive problems.
Rajeev Kumar, associate professor with the Australian National University, spoke on the importance of early identification and management of mild cognitive impairment, a condition different from but more common than dementia.
"It denotes a slightly impaired cognitive state. Early identification of those affected by mild cognitive impairment will help," he added. M. V. Varunny of Sacred Heart Hospital, Pullur; M. Thiruvanavakkarasu, professor of Psychiatry with the Stanley Medical College, Chennai; and K. S. Jacob, head of the Department of Psychiatry of Christian Medical College, Vellur, also spoke.

Martyrs Sahid Bhagat Singh, Sukhdev and Rajguru were remembered on Martyr's Day that was celebrated in the city on Tuesday.
The Democratic Youth Federation of India (DYFI) and the Students' Federation of India (SFI) organised a blood donation camp at the Sahid Laxman Nayak Community Hall to pay tributes to the martyrs.
The blood donation camp was inaugurated by CPI (M) leader and former MP Shivaji Patnaik.
A meeting was also held to remember the ideals for which Sahid Bhagat Singh would always remain immortal. Addressing the gathering,
Mr. Patnaik said, "Bhagat Singh was a pure patriot with a strong belief in secular principles, who dreamt of a society free from poverty and hunger. But, more than 70 per cent of our countrymen still earn a pittance, which is not sufficient to run their families."
During the meeting a book on life of Bhagat Singh, 'Raktaranjit Nayaka', written by Bidhuprabha Rath, was also released.
Statue installed
Members of the Sahid Bhagat Singh Club installed a statue of the martyr at Haridakhandi square of the city. The statue was unveiled by State Revenue Minister Suryanarayan Patra.
Keywords: Orissa, Martyrs Day, Bhagat Singh, Rajguru, Sukhdev, Shivaji Patnaik, CPI(M), DYFI, SFI,

Absolut, "silverpoint", Punchdrunk, Somethin' Else
Rating: 5.0
By John Reynolds, mediaweek.co.uk, Thursday, 08 April 2010 10:00AM
Bailey, the highest paid director at Trinity Mirror, netted a basic salary of £736,000 and a cash bonus of £671,000 in the year.
Her overall remuneration, including a £248,000 pension contribution, rose to £1.68m, compared to £1.53m the previous year.
In March this year, the publisher of the Daily Mirror reported a 41% drop in pre-tax profits for 2009 after its regional titles and digital operations were hit by a tough advertising downturn.
The group, which recently acquired Guardian Media Group's regional newspapers including the Manchester Evening News, scaled back its operations in the past year and reduced its headcount by 20%, which equates to 1,700 people. Further costs have been saved by a group-wide recruitment freeze.
Trinity Mirror's annual report also reveals that the company's next highest paid director, finance director Vijay Vaghela, took home £909,000 last year, including a basic salary of £430,000.

By Rey Anthony: MEXICO CITY, In his quest for redemption, Future hall of famer Juan Manuel Dinamita Marquez (54-6-1 39KO) outclassed WBO #4 contender Serhiy The professor Fedchenko (30-2-0 13KO) of Ukraine in a 12 round light welterweight battle for the interim WBO title in front of a packed New Mexico City arena in Distrito Federal, Mexico. Televised by HBO Pay-Per-View and promoted by Top Tank Inc. It was Fedchenkos first professional fight outside of Europe.
While in front of his home crowd for the first time in 18 years, Marquez did not fail to disappoint his fellow countrymen. The two fighters were in a classic feel each other out round during the opening of the fight Fedchenko was visibly awkward in his fighting style but he was able to contain Marquez counter punching abilities which made him the aggressor of the fight. It is a style that we rarely see from Dinamita.
The fight progressed and Fedchenkos comfort started to build up but it was Marquez stiff jab, quick and hard combinations both to the head and the body were the more effective weapon despite Fedchenkos lead off jabs and slippery defense.
The third round was the only round that proved to be a challenge to Marquez. Fedchenko started showing signs of confidence. He started loosening up, might be a little too loose when he started to drop his hands in front of his opponent.
The fight was all about Marquez who was visibly bigger and more muscular than his previous fight last November as he also tried to put on a show in front of his own crowd. His quick fluid combinations and sharp body punches started digging into Fedchenko who just started to wear down round by round.
Despite the punishment he was receiving during the fight, Fedchenko, was able to withstand Marquez relentless assault. One of which was a sharp right uppercut and right hook combination during the 7th round.
As Fedchenko just started to solely rely on his legs strength by keeping his distance from Marquez pursuit. The crowds disappointment can be heard during the final rounds of the fight. A lot of whistling can be heard from the stands which according to one of the announcers from Mexico said it is a bad thing in Mexico.
Marquez tried to close the show with a good finish and give the crowd what they want behind their chant Si Se Puede which roughly translates to yes it is possible by throwing his fierce combinations that backed up and snapped his opponents head back that also put the crowd on their feet. But Fedchenko was just too slippery in his defense that his head was just not there to be hit and get knocked down. After 12 grueling rounds, the judges scored unanimously in favor of Ring Magazines number 6 Pound for pound fighter. Juan Manuel Marquez.
Marquez, who is 38 years old, is 7 years older than his opponent but did not show any sign of aging in the ring. After contemplating retirement after his last fight back in November of 2011, a couple of viable opponents are being considered for his next fight including fellow Mexican Erik El terrible Morales. But it can be recalled that prior to accepting a fight, he was pushing hard for a guarantee that his next fight will be against an opponent of his choice. His impressive performance showed his hunger and determination to score a much awaited fourth fight against his Filipino nemesis current number one pound for pound champion Manny Pacquiao.

Bengals-Bears Preview
While the Cincinnati Bengals believe they have the club capable of winning their first playoff game in 23 seasons, the Chicago Bears hope going north of the border to find their new coach will lead them back to the postseason.
The quest for both begins Sunday when the visiting Bengals try to keep the Bears from a fourth straight season-opening victory.
Heading into his 11th season, Cincinnati's Marvin Lewis is the NFL's second-longest tenured coach behind New England's Bill Belichick. The Bengals have been to the playoffs two straight seasons and three of four, but are 0-4 in the postseason under Lewis.
Though the immediate goal is to become the first Cincinnati team to make three straight playoff trips, the organization won't truly be happy until recording its first playoff victory since the 1990 season.
"One of the hardest things to overcome is expectations," cornerback Terence Newman said. "I think it's easy when you're the underdog because you have to work, people are discrediting you.
"Once you get so much expectation and people pat you on the back, some people start to believe it. It's just the worst thing possible."
After spending more than $180 million to keep last season's 10-6 team intact, the Bengals brought in ex-Pittsburgh linebacker James Harrison to join a unit that ranked among the top seven in total defense each of the last two seasons. Cincinnati allowed 20 or fewer points in the final nine games of 2012, including a 19-13 playoff loss at Houston.
The Bengals drafted Notre Dame tight end Tyler Eifert and versatile North Carolina speedster Giovani Bernard with hopes both will immediately contribute to an offense led by quarterback Andy Dalton and receiver A.J. Green.
"As far as the talent on this team, it's unparalleled," Newman said. "You can look at different teams and say, 'Well they've got this, they've got this.' We have just as good as anybody else."
However, there's room for improvement, especially for an offense that ranked 22nd at 332.7 yards per game.
Dalton is the first quarterback to lead the Bengals to the playoffs in each of his first two seasons, but he had four touchdown passes and seven turnovers in five December games last year while getting sacked 20 times. He's thrown four interceptions and no TDs while posting a 48.6 passer rating in two playoff losses to the Texans.
"You have to win big games - which he's won - but you have to win playoff games and then, obviously, win a Super Bowl to be looked at as an elite quarterback in the NFL," Lewis said.
Green has caught 162 passes for 2,407 yards and 18 TDs in his first two seasons, but had only one score over the final six regular-season games of 2012.
The Bengals have lost four of five season openers, but they've won two straight and four of five in Chicago. Though the teams haven't played since 2009, Cincinnati has won the last two overall meetings by a combined 69-17.
The Bears, also coming off a 10-6 season, have won three straight openers - all at home - but enters this one with a new look on the sideline.
Longtime coach Lovie Smith was fired after the team failed to reach the playoffs despite starting 7-3 in 2011 and 7-1 in 2012.
Enter Marc Trestman, who makes his NFL head coaching debut after leading Montreal of the CFL to consecutive championships during a five-year run in Canada.
"I think the best thing about him is he's feeling it out himself and looking for changes that he can make that makes him a better coach," tight end Martellus Bennett said. "He's always trying to do the things he can do to become better."
Trestman had success as an NFL offensive coordinator with Cleveland, San Francisco and Oakland, helping elevate the play of quarterbacks like Bernie Kosar, Steve Young and Rich Gannon.
He'll try to do the same with Jay Cutler, whose 81.3 passer rating last season was 20th in the league and the second-worst of his seven-year career. He's completed just 58.4 percent of his passes over the past two seasons, but in his defense, Cutler was sacked 61 times in 25 games during that span.
Chicago made strides to upgrade his protection by signing veteran tackle Jermon Bushrod and guard Matt Slauson. It also drafted Kyle Long and Jordan Mills, both of whom will start on the right side.
Cutler still has his favorite target in Brandon Marshall, who set club records with 118 catches for 1,508 yards and caught a career-high 11 TDs. However, no player besides Marshall and running back Matt Forte topped 30 receptions in 2012, and the Bears want Cutler to use others in Trestman's West Coast offense - like Bennett and second-year wideout Alshon Jeffery.
"We're going to spread it around," Cutler said. "We can't just throw to Brandon and give the ball to Matt. We've got to figure out ways to get other guys involved."
Devin Hester failed as a receiver, but the owner of an NFL-record 18 touchdown returns on special teams will be used solely as a returner once again.
Defensively, the Bears forced a league-leading 44 turnovers and returned eight interceptions for touchdowns in 2012. However, longtime franchise face Brian Urlacher was let go and later retired. Mel Tucker comes over from Jacksonville to coordinate a defense led by aging stars Lance Briggs and Charles Tillman.

The supposed draw of this event was the haute couture designer doggy outfits (Vivienne Tam, Kate Spade, Alice Roi). Yawn. I wanted to spend the whole time with Sugarplum and Pumpkin, two Pomeranians, and a papillon named Marshmallow. Oh, what a lovely puddle of fur they made. The Humane Society was on hand with dogs who needed homes (sweet Sammy, a Portuguese with a missing eye, was my fave). Rich people, I discovered, are much more tolerable when they are surrounded by adorable puppies.
I keep meaning to make it to Missionwhich is apparently flooded with rich peoplebut even though the rich are flush with cash, they don't always spread the wealth. Puffy (yes, him again) waltzed in last Thursday hiding a bottle of wine under his jacket; he proceeded to the back (where MTV was filming his show, Making the Band), drank the whole bottle, and left without ordering a thing or leaving a cent. And, and, andeven funnierhe was downing the cheapo $6 variety. Guess he's over Cristal?
I prefer to kick it with the regular people. You know, it keeps me humble and down-to-earth. Richie Hawtin had a teeny tiny bash at the teeny tiny Filter 14 on Friday. The formerly bald and bespectacled one spun with Magda after "DJ'ing" with iPods at the Apple store. (It's not possible to DJ with an iPod, although Mr. Hawtin told me that the Apple folks are working on an iPod with pitch control.) Hawtinwho just got rid of his Williamsburg digs so he could move to Berlin to work on his next albumhad 700 partygoers eagerly awaiting entrance to the 150-person capacity club. Eventually 450 made it past the doors throughout the night, which went till 6 a.m.
Hawtin may cause trouble on dancefloors but at least he doesn't cause a ruckus at airports. You know the guy who holds up the line at the terminal gates because his bag or package (not that one) needs to be sniffed for bombs? Well "mild-mannered" trance DJ Christopher Lawrence was That Guy two weeks ago at LAX. A box of gear he was shipping Down Under to his Melbourne studio had traces of explosives on it, resulting in swift appearances by the bomb squad and the feds! Part of the United Airlines terminal was evacuated, and Lawrence was interviewed by up to 30 officials before he was set free. He shouldn't feel too terrible: French techno DJ Laurent Garnier was also at the center of an unusual travel mishap. Garnier had to cancel his gig at Centro-Fly a few weeks back because the van delivering his passport and visa was stolen and set afire.
At least I don't need a visa to DJ in this city: In the interest of maintaining journalistic impartiality, I would like to preface this by saying I have no vested interest in The Village Voice's rocking Siren Festival, which just announced its lineup. Again, I would like to stress that I don't even knowmuch less carewho most of the bands are. And I'm not the mouthpiece for the publicity department, either, but I can tell you that the headliners Modest Mouse, the Kills, Hot Hot Heat, !!! (pronounced "chick chick chick"), Sahara Hotnights, Northern State, Ted Leo/Pharmacists, Radio 4, the Pattern, and all the other bands, like, totally rule. Our PR lady Jessica Bellucci said so. In case you actually wanna go to this absolutely awesome all-day, all-ages, free party (not that I'm biased), it's only two torturous months away (Saturday, July 19) at Coney Island, so mark your calendars. Also, I'm spinning with Boozy Jo and the Bag Lady between band sets. (I told you, I'm totally unbiased!)

This stuff is just like the Xtra SPF 25 TM, which is HG for me by the way! It is exactly like the TM, but no color as well as more expensive.
Very moisturizing for dry skin. Product sinks into skin with no greasy residue nor a greasy looking face.
To me this is a 3 -in- 1 product ( moisturizer, SPF, primer). Love the elegance of the glass jar, don't love the price so much ( $85).
Highly recommended if you want to banish dry, tight skin. I wouldn't recommend it for oily skinned ppl as it may be too emollient. Overall a gr8 product, but if you want it for less, try the Xtra TM Spf25 instead and save about $35.

Lovely. Nice, thick consistency for my dry skin, feels amazing on. I use it everywhere but my chin, which breaks out at times. If you have dry skin or patches of dryness, this is the moisturizer for you, plus, it does contain broad spectru UVA and UVB sun protection. The smell is absolutely fantastic as well.

Fantastic product.
Everything you would want,
Luxurious, rich, full of essential oils
And your skin really benefits from it
In the long run.
My face now looks great without makeup.
Loves you Bobbi x
P.s, what's all this rubbish about the smell?
It has a light lemony fresh smell to it, its the nicest smelling cream I have ever come across

Love it. My skin is very dry in areas and very fair so I have to wear sunscreen. In the past I have always had dull dry looking skin and foundation looked horrible. This cream is amazing. I put it on in the morning right before my makeup and everything after goes on beautifully. Granted, this moisturizer is heavy so it is not for the oily or combination skin types. You really need dry skin to appreciate it. I also like that it has a very light smell as I really don't like moisturizers for my face to be heavily perfumed. The price is the biggest kicker though but a little goes a long way unlike other creams that I had to slather on to feel like it was working. The jar lasts me close to 6 months. For me $85 2x per year is worth it.

I am a big fan of Bobbi Brown products but I was very disappointed with this moisturizer. I found it be quite thick and VERY greasy. I normally have very clear skin however, after a week of using this my face broke out in pimples.
I do like how this moisturizer smells but it's just too thick and greasy for me :( I will not buy this product again.

I have been using this product for a while now.. It is way too expensive but I must admit there is a lot of product.
It is very creamy and moisturizing and makes my skin feel flawless.
The smell is lovely. The packaging, which is kind of very BB is classic but I am starting to dislike glass jars.
Has it made my skin better? not sure, because this is just one of the many products and cleansers that I do use. Is it good -- yes. Is it worth the heavy price tag.. doubt it.
There are many other products which can dupe this.

Wouldn't call this a balm, it's pretty much just a rich cream.
I love this stuff and it's soothing when my face is feeling irritated and my allergies are flaring up. Crazy expensive which is a downside.

Overall, I love this product, I just wish it wasn't so expensive! Its 85$ for 1.7 oz. This is the best moisturizing sunscreen I've ever used. When I apply it in the am, I don't have any dry, flaky skin till the evening. It does have an odd medicinal smell that goes away after several seconds. I have very sensitive skin and this has not broken me out. I have repurchased it once.

This is my HG winter-time moisturizer b/c it is super-thick and rich, and my poor extremely dry skin just drinks it in. When I don't use this, my fake gets flakey during the day; and I keep a small container in my bag. I also like that it has SPF 25. It's hard to find a good moisturizer w/semi-high SPF that doesn't smell chemically. I actually find the scent of this product quite pleasant and will continue to buy a new jar every winter.

Shelby health department offers free mosquito-eating fish
She is a demure vamp with an easy touch who loves a trashy, stinky home.
Most of the time you won't even know she's around. But the Southern house mosquito wants to suck your blood.
Bug experts say the tiny tan skeeters land so gently that people don't realize they're next on the menu. And unlike their more aggressive and larger ninja-type cousin, the black-and-white striped Asian tiger mosquito, the Southern house mosquito is a carrier of the West Nile virus.
With U.S. health officials reporting this week that they are seeing the biggest outbreak of the West Nile virus since officials started collecting data on the virus in this country in 1999, the Shelby County Health Department is offering something for free that is less bloody than any stake through the heart for those vampire-like skeeters.
Tiny fish that residents can put in ornamental fish ponds or non-working swimming pools. Native to the Mississippi River basin, gambusia (gam-BOOZ-ya) affinis fish love the wiggle and jiggle of mosquito larvae.
Health department officials are raising the mosquito-eating fish in a small ornamental pond in the shadows of Christian Brothers University. "One fish can eat up to 120 larvae per day. These aren't exotic. We go out and get them in ditches," said Dr. Dan Sprenger, manager of the department's vector control program.
So far, 55 residents have stopped by the Health Department's Vector Control office at 2480 Central this summer and gotten a plastic bag of the environmentally friendly fish. "I don't think they know about it. This is one of the ways that people can help themselves," Sprenger said. A female mosquito fish grows to about 2.5 inches long and has more of a pouch or a middle-aged spread belly. The males are slimmer and shorter reaching a length of 1.5 inches.
For those without ponds or non-working swimming pools, another way to get rid of the wingers is to dump the skeeter pool party altogether. Anything that collects water is a potential 7-day birthing resort for mosquito larvae — trays under flower pots, tin cans, buckets, a child's toy, a boat without a cover, a wheelbarrow, used tires. "Clogged gutters, even a bottle cap of standing water can be a problem," vector control entomologist Ture Carlson said. "Bamboo is a natural container."
Health officials have suggested that birdbaths or wading pools be emptied and cleaned weekly. Water bowls for pets should be emptied and refilled every few days. Leaky outside faucets or failed septic systems should be repaired.
And if bitten by an infected mosquito, a person is at risk for West Nile virus. Most of the time it won't matter. Except for a bug bite, four out of five people have no affects even if they are infected. Serious symptoms occur in about one in 150 cases.
This week the Shelby County Health Department confirmed three cases of West Nile virus — a 25-year-old man and two women, ages 48 and 63. Health officials wouldn't say where the three live or if their cases were mild or severe.
For a look a national map pinpointing areas hardest hit by the West Nile virus, click here.
Residents who want the mosquito-eating fish can call the Shelby County Health Department's vector control office Monday through Friday. The office is located at 2480 Central in an alleyway entrance. Bring a gallon-sized plastic bag or a minnow bucket.
The office also will send inspectors to search for breeding habitats for residents having an inordinate amount of mosquito activity in their yards. Call 901-222-9715 between the hours of 7:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m.

Crash Records
Effective January 1, 2015 the Arkansas State Police will not provide online accessibility to Motor Vehicle Crash Reports. In order to comply with Arkansas Code Annotated §27-53-202 (b)(2)(B), the crash records must be reviewed by staff personnel for redactions applicable to minor age children.
The Arkansas State Police is required by state statutes to maintain a repository of all highway, street or county road crash investigation records prepared by any Arkansas law enforcement agency.
These records are available to the public and copies may be obtained from the state police. A statutory fee of $10 must be collected for each copy of any single report.
The records of crash investigations prepared by a local or county law enforcement agency contained within the state police repository are duplicates of those records routinely available at the department where the report was initially generated. Typically the Arkansas State Police reports are available at troop headquarters within three to five working days after a crash is investigated by an Arkansas State Trooper. To locate the appropriate troop headquarter information with the county where the accident occurred, hover over and select an area on the state map below.
Once a report has been checked for accuracy by a trooper's supervisor, the document is forwarded to the crash records repository at Little Rock administrative headquarters and can be ordered in most cases within 30 days of the report being completed.
Requests for copies of the reports can be mailed to the following address:
Arkansas State Police
Attn: Fiscal Section
1 State Police Plaza Drive
Little Rock, Arkansas 72209
The minimum information needed for clerks to retrieve your crash report include date of the crash, highway number, county in which the crash occurred and the name of at least one driver. The search includes the crash reports prepared by local and county law enforcement agencies.

Shay Mitchell vs. Ariel Winter: Colorful Eyeliner Beauty Battle
Whose bright eyeliner do you like better?
Shay paired a hot pink blazer and multi-colored necklace with metallic green eyeliner. The simple ring of color around her brown eyes adds a slight kick to her otherwise very natural makeup. The Pretty Little Liars star kept her hairstyle casual for the daytime event, wearing it down in loose waves.
Unlike Shay's contrasting colors, Ariel matched her royal blue eyeliner to her dress. The Modern Family actress also chose to keep her liner just to her upper lash line instead of bringing the color all the way around her eyes. A simple half-up hairstyle with volume at her crown completed the look.
Both girls are beautiful, but whose eyeliner do you like best? Vote!

Psy performs at South Korean inauguration
- By Uri Friedman
Uri Friedman is deputy managing editor at Foreign Policy. Before joining FP, he reported for the Christian Science Monitor, worked on corporate strategy for Atlantic Media, helped launch the Atlantic Wire, and covered international affairs for the site. A proud native of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, he studied European history at the University of Pennsylvania and has lived in Barcelona, Spain and Geneva, Switzerland.
By all accounts, the inauguration of South Korean President Park Geun-hye on Monday was a stately affair — that is, until the rapper Psy took the stage. "I know this is a very formal event, but if you could please stand up and join me for the horse dance, it would be great," the South Korean artist told the crowd (and all we got was a lip-sync controversy?). The Guardian is characterizing the performance as a "family-friendly version" of Gangnam Style. Here's the video:
During the South Korean presidential election, Psy didn't publicly support any candidate and refused to allow the contenders to adopt Gangnam Style as their campaign anthem. But that didn't stop Park from galloping along to the hit song. As the Hollywood Reporter noted at the time of her election, the South Korean leader had "been spotted more than once doing the famous 'horse dance.'"

Pune: Even after Shahi Imam Syed Ahmed Bukhari announced support to Congress, Imran Pansare, cousin to 2009 NCP Maval candidate Azambhai Pansare, has announced support for Shiv Sena candidate Shrirang Barne.
Following a meeting between UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi and Imam Bukhari, the Shahi Imam had announced support to Congress at the national level, and had appealed Muslim citizens to vote for Congress. He had appealed to Muslims to vote for Trinamool Congress in West Bengal and Rastriya Janata Dal in Bihar. He said that communalism was a bigger threat than corruption.
Despite that, Imran Pansare Mitra Mandal on Sunday conducted a a rally in support of Barne. His supporters, riding hundreds of two-wheelers and four-wheelers, started the rally at Bhakti-Shakti Chowk and rode through the entire PCMC area. Interestingly, Gajanan Babar of Shiv Sena defeated Azam Pansare in the 2009 elections, and Babar who is now out of the Sena has now teamed with MLA Laxman Jagtap, who has the support of PWP and MNS.
Targeting Jagtap, Imran Pansare said, "We will work to defeat forces which were responsible my brother Azambhai's defeat in 2009 elections."
Meanwhile, minister for department of minorities Naseem Khan, appealed to the minorities to work towards the victory of Vishwajeet Kadam. He was speaking at minority rally at Rajyog Mangal Karyalay in Shivajinagar assembly segment. Khan criticised Narendra Modi for announcing himself as the prime ministerial candidate, and said, "Communally biased Modi is taking it for granted that he would become prime minister. Minorities should vote for Congress to put Modi in his place." Candidate Vishwajeet Kadam, Patangrao Kadam, Harshawardhan Patil, Satej Patil,MLA Vinayak Nimhan, Chandrakant Chhajed and others were present at the rally.

pulled oven out, unplugged, unscrewed element attachment to the back of the oven (from the inside). element did not work. we tested the upper element and that did not work either. the burst of sparks, heat and flame from the shorting of the original element caused damage to the computer board. we called a local repair man to change the computer board, and then the unit worked, with our new element that we replaced!

METAIRIE, La. - Police used a helicopter, patrol cars and searched on foot for a suspect that escaped into an Old Metairie neighborhood early Tuesday morning. Authorities eventually captured the suspect, according to Sheriff Newell Normand.
The suspect was wanted by the New Orleans police and had allegedly abandoned a car and fled into the neighborhood.
Around 1:30 a.m. WWL-TV began to get calls into the Eyewitness newsroom from concerned viewers about a helicopter that was circling near Bonnabel and Metairie Road.
Dozens of deputies were walking around the streets looking for the unidentified suspect that was reportedly seen in the area.
The suspect, identified as Brian Baker, 30, of Laplace, was apprehended by Jefferson Parish deputies after a short struggle with a police dog, according to JPSO spokesman Col. John Fortunato.
'As the search continued throughout the night and into the early morning hours, with the assistance of our Air Unit and K-9 unit, First District Patrol Officer Greg Joerger discovered the suspect hiding in a shed around 2:30 a.m. in the rear of 1908 Homer Street in Metairie,' said a statement from Fortunato.
Baker ignored repeated commands to surrender, until the police dog forced Baker to give in to authorities. Baker was treated for minor injuries from a dog bite, according to Fortunato.
Baker was booked into the Jefferson Parish jail on two counts of criminal trespassing, one count of resisting arrest and four counts of outstanding warrants from Westwego, according to Fortunato.

And if consumers stopped existing we'd forget how to use words
from Cannibal Ox (Ft. El-P) – Ridiculoid Lyrics on Genius
People have become so obsessed with money and capitalism that if not for interactions during sales or other business deals, we would simply lose the ability to communicate with each other.
People have essentially put consumerism ahead of relationships as our society continues to develop into one that values material things over all else.

Deleting Archives with 0 items
Due a broken administrative process many of our users have multiple vaults created. We wish to tidy these up by deleting the vaults contain 0 items and 0 item size. However in the Admin Console the vaults listing show there have the same vault names. I managed to use a SQL query to output list of vault IDs which are empty contain 0 items and 0 item size. It's a long list and too resource intensive to use the Admin Console to delete them as vault IDs is not displayed in the vault listing, I must view the vault properties then go to Advanced tab.
Is there any way I can delete a vault based on the vault ID, a store procedure?
Comments 3 Comments • Jump to latest comment
Hey, that's an easy one... :)
update Archive set ArchiveStatus = 4 where RootIdentity in (select RootIdentity from Root where vaultentryid in (
Just list all your vault id's there...
Be careful however to have really selected the proper vault id's
please please please perform a FULL BACKUP of the entire EV system and all its components before you attempt to run this.

Watched a movie called "Not Forgotten" with Simon Baker in it last night. Baker and his mexican wife live in Texas near the Mexico border. His daughter is kidnapped and taken to Mexico. He doesn't know why she was kidnapped. As the movie goes on, you find out he's not who you think he is and has a shady past. The kidnapping has to do with the Mexican Mob and some payback toward him.
It was okay. Not great. Not horrible. Kept my attention mostly.
"Without Limits" about Steve Prefontaine
Toy Story 3. Very good, but surprisingly sad. It played much more like Wall-E or Up than the prior Toy Story movies. There were a few scenes that might even be a bit intense for the youngest part of the crowd.
Saw "The Last Airbender" last night.
In a word: Trainwreck.
This movie is "Dune" for a new generation. It's a giant mess that, in what I can only assume is a compulsion to be absolutely faithful to it's source material, ends up glossing over any interesting ideas, leaving whole aspects of the "universe" it exists in unexplained, and creates characters that wold generously be described as shallow and 2D. The acting ranges from hammy to awful, the plot follows no discernable logic, and there is nothing by way of character development.
I'd stay far away.
*61 last night.... since the Reds had me pumped about baseball
We watched "When In Rome" with Kristen Bell and Josh Duhamel on PPV as part of my dues in the marriage continuation club. A takeoff on "Three Coins in the Fountain" and "Roman Holiday" but not nearly in he same class.
Just blah. not even any gratuitous nudity or any other redeeming factor. fluff and not very good fluff at that.
It took me about 1/2 the movie to recognize Jon Heder (who was my favorite character). I did say "hey, jeez, look, its whatshisface from "Miami Vice". And I figured Danny Devito and Anjelica Huston must have needed a paycheck.
It did have a few moments but its overall stupidity turned me off. They could have made this a pretty good escapist rom-com but, alas, no.
FTR - I enjoyed When in Rome. I enjoy a lot of movies though.
Watched Knight and Day. Not bad. But not something I would tell someone they should make time to go see either.
What Inspired It:
The truth is quite a bit stupider than that. This Academy Award-nominated classic was inspired by something off of the same children's television network that introduced the world to Rugrats, Clarissa Explains It All and Doug. Yup, Nickelodeon.
http://cdn-www.cracked.com/phpimages.../25790.jpg?v=1It turns out that Shyamalan was one hell of an unofficial member of the Midnight Society in the 90s, since his magnum opus was inspired by an episode of Are You Afraid of the Dark?.
Technically, SNICK.
The episode in particular, "The Tale of the Dream Girl", is basically the same story as The Sixth Sense except it was written for the same audience that followed Salute Your Shorts.
Only Johnny's sister believes in him. In fact, she's the only person who has really been speaking to him. Oh, and there's this dramatic scene with the ring, and a totally unexpected--because it was original--twist where... well...
Hell, considering the work he's done since then, it might pay for him to get some more Are You Afraid of the Dark episodes on DVD (it had a nice run of seven seasons) and see what else he can dig up.
http://cdn-www.cracked.com/phpimages.../25793.jpg?v=1Also, it's worth noting that "The Tale of the Dream Girl" aired on March 26 1994, which means Shyamalan had to be at least 23-years old during that life-changing Saturday night he was at home watching SNICK
There's enough cinematic gold in this season alone to keep Shyamalan busy for decades.
