A Democratic committee said it has gathered evidence showing that as many as 600 newly registered Republicans - part of an increase touted by the party in recent months - may be fraudulent.
Republican Party officials acknowledge there are some registration problems but say the scope is much smaller than Democrats claim.
So far, the Democratic Voter Education and Registration Fund has given the Orange County Registrar of Voters Office 37 signed complaints in which Orange County voters said they were switched to Republican registration without their consent.
According to the committee, 40 other voters requested that complaint forms be sent to them with forms to re-register as Democrats. An additional 200 did not want to fill out complaint forms, but asked the committee to help them switch back to the Democratic Party. The committee also found more than 300 forms listing invalid addresses and phone numbers.
"People came to us complaining about this," said Paul Hefner, the Democratic committee spokesman. "They were getting cards in the mail that said, 'Welcome to the Republican Party.' They said they had been tricked and they were angry."
The committee provided The Orange County Register with copies of the complaint forms and other documentation of their investigation. They are trying to determine which agency would be most appropriate to conduct a criminal investigation.
The registrar's office has found an additional 65 cases - separate from the Democrats' list - of people being registered to the Republican Party without their knowledge.
Scott Baugh, chairman of the Republican Central Committee of Orange County, said he believed the problems were confined to a few individuals who were fired over the past two months for "inaccuracies" in registration cards or because they were the subject of voter complaints.
"We've received six complaints out of the 15,000 letters we sent out to welcome people to the party when they register," Baugh said. He did not identify the workers who were fired, one on Jan. 18 and two more on Feb. 2.
Baugh also said the committee and the party each conduct audits of the process because they pay a $10 "bounty" per registration card to their workers.
One of the criticisms of the Republican Party's method is that the bounty, although legal, creates an incentive for fraud. The California Democratic Party, after it was the subject of a criminal investigation in 1988, began paying workers by the hour instead of using the bounty system.
Changing a voter's party by filing a false registration card is a felony. So is giving the county registration cards of people who do not exist. Both crimes carry prison terms of up to three years and possible fines.
Shannon Gomez, who got her new Republican registration card in the mail in January, said she was tricked in front of a Food 4 Less store in Anaheim. A man in his mid-40s gave her a petition to sign, and tucked underneath was a card. He asked her to sign a box on the card, saying it was only to be used by the registrar's office to verify her signature on the petition. He first attempted to get her to switch her registration voluntarily, saying he needed the $10 he was paid to feed his family.
"It upset me that he tried to use his family to get me to do something that I didn't want. I have the right to vote as I wish," Gomez said.
Voters who were switched unknowingly or who fail to switch back in time could be disqualified from voting in their party's primary in June.

Leaping lizards inspire new robot design
An African Agama lizard, and Tailbot
After observing the jumping habits of lizards, scientists have created an active-tailed robot that is able to adjust its body orientation in mid-air
Article Summary
For some time now, scientists have assumed that dinosaurs' tails didn't simply drag on the group behind them, but were instead held out to serve as a counterweight for the giant reptiles' heavy front ends when running. More recently, however, researchers from the University of California, Berkeley, have discovered that modern-day lizards also use their tails to control the orientation of their bodies when leaping through the air. It's a discovery that could be applied to devices such as search-and-rescue robots, and in fact already has been. Based on their observations, the UC Berkeley team created a small, tailed robot known as Tailbot.

text: EASTERN - Allen Central High school received a special visit from Gov. Ernie Fletcher Monday, after test scores, released last month, showed that the school had one of the largest margins of improvement for CATS scores at 11 percent.Fletcher took the opportunity to tour several classrooms while on site and it made it a point to visit the sophomore English class, which is preparing this year's students for CATS tests and was the highest overall area of improvement for Allen Central students.Fletcher signed an enlarged graph for the school to display which lists the school's progress on CATS scores since 1999 and displays a constant rate of improvement since that time.Fletcher singled out principal Lorena Hall for her efforts and said, "Thanks for your leadership. We appreciate all you are doing."Fletcher was also greeted by students in the JROTC program at Allen Central, boasts a 20 percent enrollment in JROTC - double that of the minimum requirement for hosting the program. He also noted that he was in the ROTC program and followed it up with a six-year stint in the Air Force."We want to encourage you to pursue your education," Fletcher told the students. He also noted that the military would give many of them a chance to see the world but closed his remarks by saying, "We hope you stay in Kentucky."For her part, Hall was pleased with her schools progress but observed, "Our goal is to come in at 100.

Repeating the assurances made by previous governments after the floods in 2005 and 2006 in the district, district in-charge Minister Satish L. Jarkiholi on Monday promised to draw up a plan to rehabilitate the residents of 39 flood-prone villages along the banks of the Krishna river in Chikkodi, Athani and Raibag taluks.
Talking to presspersons at Kudachi in Raibag taluk, Mr. Jarkiholi said the proposals on permanent rehabilitation had remained in cold storage. He would convene a meeting of legislators soon after the legislature session to prepare a proper rehabilitation plan.
The Minister, who visited some of the flood-affected areas during the day, handed over compensation of Rs. 1.50 lakh each to the families of Ningavva Ningappa Balobal and Lakshmi Ramakrishna Dhangar who were killed in a house collapse at Katakbhavi village in Raibag taluk.
The Krishna river and its tributaries flowing through the northern parts of the district are in spate. While there was some respite with a reduction in rainfall in the catchment areas in Maharashtra, more than 500 residents of Kallol and Agali have returned to their homes from the temporary relief centres.
According to official sources here on Monday, 424 residents of Kallol in Chikkodi taluk and 159 from Aigali in Athani taluk were shifted to relief centres the river began to rise last week.
Tungabhadra rises
The Tungabhadra river is swollen following continued heavy discharge from the Tungabhadra dam at Hospet in Bellary district.
The bridge across the Tungabhadra has been submerged, and the link between Kampli in Bellary district and Gangavati in Koppal district and other parts of the Hyderabad Karnatak region has been cut off since Sunday evening.
On Monday, the inflow into the reservoir was at the rate of 1.32 lakh cusecs while the discharge was at the rate of 1.49 lakh cusecs. Ancient monuments and temples, including the Kodanda Rama temple and the Koti Linga, along the banks of river in Hampi continued to be flooded.
The authorities have cautioned people living in villages on either side of the river to move to safer places
KRS outflow down
The historic Paschima Vahini near Srirangapatna in and a few other places in Mandya district were inundated by the swollen Cauvery.
The Krishnaraja Sagar reservoir near Srirangapatna is full and Cauvery Neeravari Nigam Ltd. has been discharging a huge volume of water.
While the outflow rate was 15,000 cusecs on July 22 when the crest gates were opened for the first time this year, it was 62,544 cusecs on Sunday evening.
Apart from the Paschima Vahini, the Ranganathittu Bird Sanctuary, the bathing ghats near the Nimishambha temple at Sangam and a few other places were inundated between Sunday evening and Monday morning because of swollen Cauvery river, sources at the district administration told The Hindu here on Monday.
However, flood level slightly reduced on Monday evening. Also, the flood water has reached Sai Baba temple on the banks of Cauvery river, sources added.
Meanwhile, the water-level at the KRS touched 123.45 ft against the full-reservoir level (FRL) of 124.80 ft at 6.30 p.m. on Monday. However, the inflow rate has decreased to 50,956 cusecs from 61,183 cusecs on Sunday evening. CNNL officials decreased the outflow to 33,393 cusecs on Monday evening.

Washer was making noise especially when spinning. I took the washer apart to clean it, That is what it really needed. Also adjusted the water level to prevent overflows which caused soap and water to get underneath into the drive belt area as well. During inspection noticed a nick in the drive belt, Although this was not really causing immediate problem wanted to repalce it to prevent problems. Ordered the belt; it came in two days with no special postage. To install, just leaned the washer over on its front on a slight incline. Took old belt off and put new on by turning the big pulley. It is spring tensioned, so no tools. This may be the easiest part repacement I ever did. Took longer to write this paragraph than to repalce the belt.

The tendency for animals to outperform their human coworkers in comedies. Most often takes the form of a gorilla or chimpanzee in a business suit who quickly climbs the corporate ladder after being hired. PowersuitMonkey can come in a few flavors:
Type One: Said monkey actually is competent, at least according to the other character's {{Lampshading}}. Type one's competence is normally contrasted to another human character's incompetence for laughs. Type one never speaks, and other than being a part of the scenery, typically doesn't interact with the human characters physically unless their job requires it.
Type Two: This is when the monkey acts just like a typical monkey would, but the work environment is so atrocious to begin with this behavior actually lands the monkey promotions and praise from his coworkers. Unlike Type one monkeys, Type twos are free to interact with their coworkers, usually in the form of random tantrums, face-scratching, and the classic poo throwing.
Type Three: Type three monkeys are practically human in all but species. Type threes typically form rivalries with the Protagonist, but are otherwise portrayed as popular with the rest of the characters. While you are more likely to see a Type three courting the office hotty or chatting it up with the fellas at the water cooler, they do sometimes slip back into Type two territory, usually when tempted by a banana.

** As a matter of fact, the Librarian used to be a wizard, working in Unseen University's library until a magical accident in [[Discworld/TheLightFantastic the second book]] turned him into an ape. He's been transformed for so long that most people new to the series ''assume'' he's this trope, and even his fellow wizards have trouble remembering that he used to be human (although depending on the RuleOfFunny it can be the other way around; it's mentioned that if you told the other Wizards there was an ape in the library, they'd [[ComicallyMissingThePoint go and ask the Librarian if he'd seen it]].)

* Judy from ''[[WebComic/TheAdventuresOfDrMcNinja Doctor McNinja]]'' counts as a type one.

Actually, rather a lot of them; one of them is marrying Muscleman's sister, and the "groom's side" is full of gorillas in suits and dresses. At least one of these (the groom's uncle) is firmly convinced that humans are the inferior species, and he's not shy about telling everyone his opinion either.
* There's a duck named Stuart in ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons''. He works at the power plant. And outranks Homer.
** In "Homer's Enemy", Mr. Burns hires a dog to fill the job he originally planned to give Frank Grimes.

"I need my own travelogue series...." jmhenry1123's Profile
Hello from the windy city of Chicago.
I am happy to answer questions about this great city and country of mine to anyone interested in travelling throughout the U.S. I've seen most of it and if I haven't I probably know someone whose been there.
If I were to write a personal ad, after stating my affection for long walks on the beach at sunset, it would soon be followed by world travelling. I admit that I am still a novice at it, but I've tackled all of North America and most of continental Europe. I still haven't made it up to those Scandinavian countries.
In the near future I would like to go to Australia and New Zealand. I would also like to travel in Africa on a Hemingway like adventure.
I have been quite busy in the travel sector of my life through 2003-2004. Fortunately they all have been trips for leisure and not business. Things are so much more relaxed when there is no business.
In 2003, I went on a cruise to the Western Caribbean; Charleston and Pawleys Island, SC; Phoenix, AZ; Las Vegas, NV.
In 2004, I have been to Rome, Florence, Venice, Italy; Vienna, Austria; Prague, Czech Rep; Cologne, Germany; Paris, France.
In Dec 04-Jan 05 I will be in Barcelona, Spain. Soo excited
I started 2005 in Barcelona covered in champagne. Now taking suggestions for other places to go.
I've stayed local lately. I went to Columbus OH in February.
Went to Rockford IL for a night in April.
Definite...Gulf Shores of Alabama (USA) in August. Venturing only to knee-deep waters to avoid shark attacks.
There is some talk amongst friends about going to St. Petersburg Russia.
Boston, MA - Head of the Charles Regatta
I'm going on a pilgrimage service trip to Lourdes, France. I'll be a chaperone of 50 teenagers and college students. On the same trip, I will visit Lausanne, Switzerland. Recommendations welcome!

I have been on both and know the 350 very well.
Let me just state my experience:
Big fat keels are more succeptible to currents. However, like a paddle in the water, they make act as a opposing force in the wind. Also, a heavy keel increases the diplacement of the boat. Heavier boats are not pushed as easy by the wind.
All that being said, it is the current and the wind that will make the difference versus the keel type. The 350 especially is a very wide body boat that has a lot of wind area to push it around.

Join Military Men Exposed
Heads Up!
This review is outdated. Information may be inaccurate.
This review is outdated. Information may be inaccurate.
Many people feel that the underfunding of military families is a travesty. I suppose that sites like Military Men Exposed give some struggling young men a helping hand in more ways than one. First there's the cash they earn and then there are the money shots that leave them spent. It's surprising how far a straight guy will go to not only make some dough, but also to get off when he gets horny enough.
MilitaryMenExposed is updated once a week with new vids. There are 58 videos and you'll find mostly good-quality playback when you check them out. They can be downloaded in Windows Media format and MP4s that can also be streamed in an embedded Flash player. You can also check out 40 photo galleries that show up in an embedded slideshow. They can't be downloaded and the images aren't that big.
You'll see quite a few shoots that start with an interview and the marine, soldier or some civilian is often straddling a weightlifting bench. They eventually take their clothes off and start to beat their meat. What I like about this setup is that when they finally climax, their sweet white loads look especially impressive against the black vinyl that is covering the exercise equipment.
However, some scenes go much further. It often starts innocently enough by letting another guy touch their junk. Then they might be coaxed into letting their rod get stroked by another man's hand. That's often just a prelude to receiving a blowjob. There's at least one standout session where you'll see actual anal fucking. In fact, it's bareback sex that goes down, which ratchets up the heat.
There are a few negatives about this collection though. There is a download limit, although it is supposed to be high enough to not affect the average user. You can rate the content, but you can't save your favorites or leave comments. You can check out a model index with some lengthy bios for the various guys.
The site doesn't have the most impressive design, but I feel that it really brings you hetero hotties like it promises. Some other sites kind of stretch the truth on that count. Also, even if this collection isn't the largest, the cost of joining is quite reasonable. Overall, Military Men Exposed is inexpensive enough to make it worth checking out.
* Please include a pro and a con about the site. Balance is essential in making a comment worthwhile. Scores without comments will be deleted.
* Watch out for ratings of zero and 100. In our opinion, there is no such thing as a site that is absolutely perfect or completely worthless.

Starting my stringing business, looking for thoughts on my flyer

Nothing against the OP, but Ash is right on the similarity to other pages. There seems to be a small collection of new "stringing businesses" popping up. I'm relatively new to TT, but I wonder how often this happens.
As I noted in another post, you have to be careful with this, "There are now low cost alternatives for those professional prices!" kind of stuff. It is sort of like saying, "alternatives to professionals." Most of the pro stringers on here describe their prices as what I think are reasonable. I don't know your market, but I do hope you have adequate experience to be calling yourself an "alternative." Aside from general experience, they have certifications that address quality and proper techniques.
Also, if the stringing prices in your area aren't realistically "outrageous," I don't favor anyone undercutting the market rate. If you get a decent number of customers, you'll have to produce at a decent rate. Hopefully, you have the skills to do that without loss of quality.
True players will have questions on experience and quality issues. Aside from the stringing, they are putting an expensive piece of hardware in your hands. They'll probably also notice the "markup" on the string.
Nice comments Rad.....You need to be careful when you compare yourself to a professional.
I think the best policy is not to compare yourself, but list your attributes. Explain why a player should go to you, not why "you think" you're better than the pro shop. AND, if your pricing structure isn't "on par" with the market rate in your area, I believe it diminishes your credibility.
In my case, when I meet a player and hand them a card, the first thing I ask is "do you have a stringer you normally use". I still hand them the card, and depending on what they say, I tell them (if it's the pro shop 20miles away) "they're really good at what they do, probably the best around" and "I'm here in a pinch if you need an emergency job".
Part of that is also because, I'm friends with those people and my objective is not to take business from them, but offer relatively the same service without having to travel 20 miles.
If it's a local stringer, (there are 2 that I know of, that string for others) I list my attributes, (certified, Star 5, thousands of frames, etc....) and say "I'm here in a pinch".
IMO, there's nothing worse than saying "I'm better than xxxx because xxxx"
One stringer in my area is a 13yr kid on a Klippermate. Real nice kid. His mother was telling one of my regulars that "my kid is just as good, he (me) uses that crap string (SPPP, I have about 12/15 others as well) and my kid will string it for $10"
I couldn't believe she said that AND, my regular was pretty turned off by that. This kids mother, basically, shot her kids foot off.
I offer: Frame inspection, frame cleaning, tubing/grommet replacement (if necessary) free replacement over wrap, quality equipment (star 5) experience (a few thousand frames)
Conclusion: I've polled my customers, they all say "I wish your price was cheaper" but they also say, it's a decent price for what I offer.
My service is "QVC" " quality/ value/ convenience........

Not to be a stickler, but I'd be careful with Tap Water. What comes out of the tap varies greatly throughout the world. In many locations the tap water is very hard with high levels of mineral salts. Generally not the best to use on the soft coatings of filters.
This is not a problem for me in the SF Bay Area because we get very pure, soft water siphoned from the Yosemite Valley. It WAS definitely a problem when I lived in the Las Vegas Valley and the California Central Valley. That was nearly 20 years ago, but the hard water in those areas left more residue than it removed! In recent times, I have been at locations in the Southwest and the Midwest and I can attest to the fact that in many of those locations the water has high mineral salt contents.
Now, for English water, I have to segue to my beer brewing. I dump a "Hell of a lot" of mineral salts to replicate English tap waters to make British ales.
The mineral concoction is commonly called "Burton Water salts".
I do agree with Ralph that sometimes a dish detergent will help, especially where there are organic and/or oily residues.

On cycling, near-death experiences and content
I biked to work today. Which has nothing to do with this post, except that I biked back, too. My ride home includes a 500-foot climb that pitches up to a 10%+ grade in a few places. No big deal when I was 30 (or even 40). But now, at 44, with about 10 extra… Read More

How Google gave the spammers all the power
Google launched the Penguin update to filter out spammy links. Great! That's fantastic! Lead us, oh tuxedoed little birdie, to the Golden Age of SEO!

Web copyright for the complete dumbass
I'm a generous guy. So, when I see someone acting like a complete scumbag, I assume they're ignorant, instead. For example, if you take an article I wrote in 2005 and put it up for sale, without my permission, on a third-party site, like this: …I take the high road: You're not a dishonest pile… Read More

6 lessons that changed my career
I'm feeling introspective today. These are realizations to which I can point and say "Yep, that's where I changed": It's not all about me. Successes, failures, perceived snubs, etc. are never solely my own. Share credit, accept blame, assume the best of people (a continuing struggle for me, but hey, I'm working on it).

Environment Conscious efforts taken by the staff of Vivanta by Taj-Surya to reduce pollution and ensure efficient water consumption have paid rich dividends
Vivanta by Taj Surya is two years old in Coimbatore and General Manager V.K. Prasad's joy knows no bounds as he says, "I am delighted that our hotel has been given this status just two years after starting operations here. We have been following environmentally friendly practices right from the start, advising our guests to adhere to the norms as well." He is referring to the 'Bronze Benchmarked Status' for adhering to environmental norms by renowned Australian environmental management, benchmarking and certification company, EarthCheck. Vivanta by Taj-Surya is the only hotel in the city so far to be awarded this status.
On what this certification means to the average person, Prasad explains, "It means that they will develop a sense of confidence in us and our concern for the environment."
There are certain measures that the hotel follows that ensures environment-friendly practices. The focus is on responsible conservation, recycling and minimal wastage. A sewage treatment plant recycles water that is used for gardening. Paper, stationery items and food containers are also recycled. Cleaning agents used in the hotel are environment friendly and non-toxic. "For example, used batteries are immediately given to the State Pollution Control Board to recycle," says Prasad. They hotel also ensures that food is not wasted and leftovers are regularly supplied to an orphanage and a home for the mentally challenged in the city.
The hotel staff is encouraged to constantly adhere to common-sense practices and the message is also passed on to the hotel guests. "Simple things like not keeping the tap running while you shave or brush your teeth are advocated. We also screen animated videos on our TV screens that reiterate messages of conserving water and food," Prasad points out.
The hotel celebrates Environment Day each year when the manager and staff plant trees in orphanages, give children saplings and distribute free seeds to the guests. Their recent Deepavali celebrations had smoke-free candles and sweets distributed to all guests.
Parameters for EarthCheck certification (matched by Vivanta by Taj-Surya)
Water consumption (must not exceed 15 kilolitres per room)
Waste sent to landfill
Water savings practices
Water recycling
Community contributions and commitments
Paper product ratings
Cleaning product ratings
Pesticides product ratings
Keywords: Environment Conscious, EarthCheck certification, Vivanta by Taj-Surya, water consumption, environmental management

US to search for World War II missing in Myanmar
Friday - 1/11/2013, 6:27pm EST
By MATTHEW PENNINGTON
Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) - The U.S. military is preparing its first search in eight years for remains of American soldiers lost in Myanmar during World War II, an official said Friday.
The resumption of the search is a product of the revived U.S. ties with the country also known as Burma after its government initiated democratic reforms.
The Hawaii-based Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command said that a coordination team will head to Myanmar Jan. 21 to prepare for a visit by investigators a month later.
About 730 Americans are missing, mostly U.S. air crews that went down in the rugged northern mountains and dense jungles while flying supplies from India to China.
Spokeswoman Michelle Thomas said starting Feb. 21, about one dozen investigators, mostly linguists and analysts, are scheduled to spend three weeks in Yangon Division and Mandalay Division to pursue leads. They will talk to known witnesses and obtain oral histories from government and military officials.
Another mission is planned for the summer, in hopes of gathering enough information to send in recovery teams later.
The remains of seven airmen were recovered after U.S. recovery operations in 2003 and 2004, during what was a rare instance of cooperation with Myanmar's military before it halted the searches. The airmen's C-47 Skytrain crashed in a remote area of northern Kachin state in 1944, probably downed by Japanese ground fire. They were buried with full honors in Arlington Cemetery in 2010.
Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton urged resumption of remains recovery when she made a landmark visit to Myanmar a year ago. Washington has since suspended economic sanctions, and in November Barack Obama became the first U.S. president to visit the country, further cementing ties.
Most of the crash sites are in Kachin state, but JPAC is conducting its initial investigations in other regions. Fighting between ethnic Kachin rebels and government forces, including air strikes, has intensified in recent months, likely placing many parts of that province off-limits to U.S. search parties.
Tens of thousands of villagers have been displaced in the fighting, prompted fresh criticism of Myanmar's military from human rights groups.
A British excavation team is currently searching for a stash of World War II-era Spitfire fighter aircraft in Myanmar and has so far managed to locate one wooden crate believed to contain one of the planes.
