10:37 AM PT: Special Elections: We have our first two state legislative special elections following the November general election, and needless to say, Johnny Longtorso isn't missing a beat:
Alabama HD-30: This is an open Republican seat northeast of Birmingham. The candidates are attorney Beth McGlaughn for the Democrats and businessman Mack Butler for the Republicans. Don't expect anything interesting here as the district straddles deep, deep red Etowah and St. Clair Counties.
Iowa SD-22: This is also an open Republican seat, in the Des Moines suburbs. It was up in November, but the incumbent Senator, Pat Ward, passed away prior to the election, so a special election was scheduled. The candidates are attorney Desmund Adams for the Democrats and West Des Moines city council member Charles Schneider for the Republicans. The Ward/Adams race was still on the ballot last month, despite being nonbinding; Ward posthumously won 56-43.
11:07 AM PT: Pres-by-CD: We crunched presidential results for 43 new congressional districts over the weekend, and as always, thanks to everyone who's been sending in the data we need. (A reminder: You can find our complete chart here.) Forty of these districts are split across five new states:
• Missouri (4 of 8: MO-01, MO-05, MO-07 & MO-08)
Anyone who thought Democrats might have a shot at picking up the seat of resigning GOP Rep. Jo Ann Emerson will be disappointed by Obama's terrible performance here, dropping to a 32-66 loss to Mitt Romney, versus 38-60 against McCain in 2008.
• Ohio (8 of 16: OH-01 through OH-03, OH-07, OH-10, OH-11, OH-15 & OH-16)
The power of the gerrymander really shows through: In the GOP-held districts calculated so far, Romney's performance was in a tight band, from 50.1 percent to 54.7 percent, thus showing that Republican votes were spread as efficiently as possible. Meanwhile, in the two Democratic seats we have numbers for, Obama won 70 percent in one and over 80 percent in the other. Shame on Democrats in the Ohio legislature for going along with this.
• Oregon (3 of 5: OR-01, OR-03 & OR-05)
Regardless of how you feel about him, Dem Rep. Kurt Schrader gets credit for continually performing strongly in OR-05. Obama won just 51-47 there, down from 53-44, but Schrader defeated his Some Dude Republican opponent by 11.
• Texas (24 of 36: TX-01 through TX-09, TX-14, TX-16, TX-18, TX-20 through TX-22, TX-24 through TX-26, TX-29 through TX-33 & TX-36).
There's a lot here, but it's clear the difficulty we face in congressional races in Texas. Nick Lampson outdid Obama by more than six points in TX-14, but that wasn't quite enough. The wild card, of course, is that the state's map will likely get redone before 2014.
Further, we have updates on two previous states:
Dem Rep. John Garamendi's performance (54-46) came just under Obama's (53-43). We'd expected CA-09 to the south to be more competitive (Ricky Gill certainly fundraised more than Kim Vann), but the 9th turned out to be bluer than the 3rd based on 2012 presidential returns, whereas they were quite similar according to the 2008 results. So that probably explains why Dem Rep. Jerry McNerney also wound up winning 54-46 despite the higher quality of his opposition.
• Indiana (IN-02 and IN-03)
Democrat Brendan Mullen had quite the headwind in IN-02. The fact that Obama won this district in 2008 really shows his overperformance in the state that year, with a victory measured in decimals turning into a 56-42 Romney rout. That Mullen lost by little more than one percent is pretty amazing.
11:17 AM PT: SC-Sen-B: PPP went into the field over the weekend with a quickie poll after South Carolina Sen. Jim DeMint announced late last week that he'd be quitting Congress to spend more time with the Heritage Foundation. (I mean, who wouldn't, right?) In turn, that means GOP Gov. Nikki Haley gets to tap a temporary replacement for DeMint, but whom shall it be? Tom Jensen threw a whole bunch of names into the hopper, called up a bunch of Palmetto State voters, and said "Tell us who ya like." And the leading contender?
Ladies and gentlemen: I present to you Mr. Stephen Colbert. Now, the truthy-telling talkshow host has dabbled in politics before, hosting rallies in Washington, mucking about with his own Super PAC, and even running for president in his native South Carolina. But would Colbert suit Republicans, who of course want to replace the conservative DeMint with another right-winger?
I think so! Stephen Colbert once described Stephen Colbert as a "well-intentioned, poorly informed, high-status idiot," which if anything makes him overqualified to serve in the Senate as a Republican. But hey, 20 percent of South Carolinians want to see him succeed DeMint—a clear majority, as I'm sure Colbert would understand it.
Recognizing that Colbert might not want to give up his current reality-changing megaphone, though, Tom Jensen tested a few different possible lineups for Haley to choose from. Here's how it all falls out:
|Stephen Colbert
|J. Sanford
|Tim Scott
|Trey Gowdy
|Jenny Sanford
|Henry McMaster
|M. Sanford
|Mark Sanford
|Jeff Duncan
|Joe Wilson
|Mick Mulvaney
As you can see, if Colbert decides to stay in New York City rather than return home, his supporters help boost the cause of ... Jenny Sanford, the former wife of former Gov. Mark Sanford, who himself remarkably still has a few adherents. If you figure that Gov. Haley has no desire to welcome the Sanford sideshow back into town from its current road tour on the Appalachian Trail, and if you also assume she can't handle Colbert's unique brand of truthiness, column three gets you down to the boring "serious" names. All of them are current members of the House (except for McMaster, who is a former state attorney general). Tim Scott, who would be the only African American in the Senate were Haley to tap him, comes out on top.
But will Haley care about any of this? She gets to make the choice free and clear, though of course, there are always political considerations. As Jensen points out, she's one of the most unpopular governors in the nation, with a 42-49 job approval rating—good for just 35th place out of 43 sitting governors PPP has tested. What better way, as Tom says, to restore her standing than to appoint the man 100 percent of 20 percent of South Carolina voters choose? If Stephen Colbert am America, then so can Haley!
11:22 AM PT: FL-Gov: I don't know why he didn't do this at the Democratic National Convention earlier this year, when he had a speaking slot and a national audience and could have made more of a splash, but ex-Gov. (and ex-Republican) Charlie Crist has finally completed his transition. On Friday, he signed papers that changed his party enrollment from independent to Democrat, a necessary step if he tries to seek his old job back in 2014—something that's only possible at this point as a Dem.
11:37 AM PT (David Jarman): WA-St. Sen.: Putting Republicans in power even though Democrats have the majority: it isn't just for New Yorkers anymore! As has been previously threatened, the two renegade Democrats in the Washington state Senate (where Democrats are in control 26-23) just sorta-defected, not throwing the Senate to Republican control entirely but creating a centrist power-sharing arrangement that I doubt is going to leave anyone very happy except for maybe newspaper editorial boards. Democrat Rodney Tom, the ringleader of the enterprise (who was a Republican as a state Rep., until he ran for the Senate as a Dem in 2006) will take over as majority leader from Ed Murray, and co-conspirator Tim Sheldon will become president pro tem.
Republicans and Democrats will each chair one-half of the chamber's committees, including some that will be co-chaired -- although it's worth noting that some of the most moderate first-term GOPers, Andy Hill and Steve Litzow, will chair two of the most important committees, getting leapfrogged over much-more-senior conservative members. One other consequence that shouldn't be overlooked: seeing as how every vote needs to count in order to make the coup work, the Republicans were also forced to accept loose-cannonish (emotionally more so than ideologically) Pam Roach -- whom they kicked out of the caucus -- back into the fold.
11:56 AM PT: LA-03: The books were finally closed on the 2012 elections with Rep. Charles Boustany's 61-39 victory over fellow GOP Rep. Jeff Landry in Louisiana's redrawn 3rd Congressional District. Last year, mapmakers in the legislature had to eliminate one House seat thanks to the state's relative population shrinkage and Landry, the only freshman Republican in the delegation, saw his district just shredded to pieces. No matter where he might run, he'd face another incumbent, and he ultimately decided his best bet was in the 3rd against Boustany, even though he only represented 24 percent of the district's constituents (and for only a single term).
Landry, though, had socked the establishment hard in his initial victory in 2010, so we were never ready to write him off against the more rank-and-file Boustany. But it looks like geography was once again destiny: In the first round of voting in November, Boustany edged Landry 45-30, meaning he won the vote between the two men 60-40. That's almost identical to his score in the runoff. If anything, that's a little surprising to me, given that I'd expect Landry's high-energy tea party base would be more likely to show up for a low-turnout affair. But Landry did out-perform on at least one level, seeing as Boustany represents 76 percent of the 3rd but only took 61 percent of the vote in the end.
Of course, moral victories don't count for much in politics. But this may not be the last we hear of Landry: He's only 41, and he could potentially run for Senate in 2014. While Louisiana Republicans may well rally around an establishment-type candidate like Rep. Bill Cassidy, on a statewide stage, Landry would be on roughly equal footing in terms of name recognition. So I think it's definitely not impossible that he could ride movement conservative anger to a Senate nomination. And I suspect that Dem Sen. Mary Landrieu might very much be rooting for just that outcome.
12:14 PM PT: TX-23: GOP Rep. Quico Canseco, who lost to Democrat Pete Gallego 50-46 last month, says he's considering a rematch in 2014. Canseco ran for Congress twice before winning in 2010's tea party wave, and given his personal wealth, he could easily self-fund another campaign. But the possibility still remains that this district could get tinkered with further in litigation, and if it does, it's likely to become more Hispanic, and hence bluer. Meanwhile, the question for Gallego will be what happens to voter turnout during a midterm election, as opposed to a presidential year.
12:27 PM PT (David Jarman): As for the question of "why" behind the Washington Senate coup, for Tom it's a mix of power-questing and goo-goo centrist douchiness, while for Sheldon it's a matter of just being temperamentally conservative and repping a red district. The analogy would be if Joe Lieberman and Ben Nelson (respectively) had been given the opportunity to do the same thing in a 51-49 U.S. Senate.
As for what we might actually do about it, Washington has one of the highest bars to recall in the nation (the petition needs to be 35% of the votes cast in the last election), so recall is highly unusual. Tom and Sheldon, though, are both up in 2014. Tom is in a Dem-leaning suburban district in Bellevue and has certainly has made himself vulnerable to a primary challenge, though the mechanics of the Top 2 primary increase his odds of survival so long as he survives the first round (as he'd probably win either a Dem/Tom or Tom/GOP matchup). Sheldon is personally popular in his rural, GOP-leaning district and survived primary challenges (pre-Top 2 primary) from the left before.
1:18 PM PT: NJ-Gov: Assemblyman John Wisniewski, more of a longshot possibility among would-be Democratic contenders, says he won't run for governor next year and will instead seek re-election. Meanwhile, Passaic County Dem chair John Currie is trying to tout Rep. Bill Pascrell as a possible "compromise" candidate, even though he just won a bitter member-vs.-member primary against Steve Rothman earlier this year. Interestingly, though, Bergen County chair Lou Stellato agrees with his counterpart, despite the fact that Rothman hails from Bergen and the primary caused a pretty tense Passaic-Bergen split. In a statement from his office, Pascrell refused to rule out a bid, but I would note that he's 75 years old.
1:24 PM PT: PA-Gov: Hmm. This is as thin as you can get, but a local CBS station reports that "sources close to" newly re-elected Sen. Bob Casey are saying Casey's refusing to rule out a run for governor in 2014. In his prior remarks, Casey didn't definitively close the door, but when we last checked in, he didn't sound very interested: "My focus has been and will continue to be the work I'm doing," Casey said in late November. "I'm very content in the Senate." But as CBS's Larry Kane notes, this vagueness on Casey's part will make it a lot harder for other Democrats to ramp up and gain traction with campaigns of their own, so it's really incumbent on Casey to speak his mind clearly one way or the other—very soon.
2:28 PM PT: Meanwhile, in more serious South Carolina Senate news, Haley rather explicitly foreclosed the possibility of tapping a temporary replacement for DeMint who would not seek re-election in 2014. Said Haley: "I do not want to deprive our state's citizens of the chance to render their judgment on the appointee's performance by way of their vote."
2:33 PM PT: VA-Gov: Lt. Gov. Bill Bolling continues to play footsie with a possible third-party bid. When Bolling unexpectedly "suspended" his campaign for the GOP gubernatorial nomination at the end of November, he specifically didn't close the door on an independent run, and in a new interview on Friday, he repeated that stance, saying: "I have not ruled that out, and I'm not prepared to rule that out." Bolling did add that he would not wage an indie bid "simply to be a spoiler of some sort," so perhaps he's conducting some polling right now to see if he has a path to victory.
2:49 PM PT: NY-11: Lennie Briscoe once famously asked, "How come rich guys always owe a billion dollars?" The same could be asked of the terminally sketchball, though at least in these sorts of cases, the reasons are usually a lot more obvious: New campaign finance reports show that GOP Rep. Mike Grimm, who is under super-duper-investigation, owes his attorneys over $550,000. In fact, that sum actually stood at $678K—until Politico pointed it out and Grimm filed an amended report. (You can almost picture the call to Paton Boggs: "Guys, please do NOT cash that check until Jan. 1! I promise it'll be good then!")
Also interesting is that Grimm still has $242K on-hand in his campaign account, suggesting he felt very confident in his race against Democrat Mark Murphy (which he won 53-46)... though perhaps he preferred to save his pennies to pay his lawyers, rather than wind up even further in hock.

Guardians of Middle-Earth
what is gold mode exactly?
I have the season pass but I do not have any of the dlc? It keeps putting me in gold mode.
did you actually buy the game? you need to the game to use the season pass. but basically Gold mode is the trial version of the game. its free and you basically get access to the full game just only playable with people who downloaded the trial as well, or buyers who opened the game in gold mode. In gold mode you dont have access to any dlc, and i believe there are no updates to the game when played in gold mode.
I walk alone in the universe as the last of The Time Lords!
Yea I have the real game and the season pass. I deleted everything except my profile save and it didn't work. Still says gold mode. I even found an option in the settings that said regular mode but that didn't even fix it
about the only thing i can suggest is delete everything and redownloading the game. this is honestly the first time i have heard of this problem. sorry.
I walk alone in the universe as the last of The Time Lords!
I guess ill try deleting my profile save I suppose
I went on the official website forums and a lot of people are having the same problem. There is more posts in tech support then game discussion!! Gay.
It's happened to me a few times, always has been fixed by a restart except once. That time, I just reinstalled compatibility pack 3, and it has worked fine since.
The beatings will continue until morale improves.
ive posted in the other topic, but for me, nothing worked, restarting xbox, deleting cache, deleting all the game data and redownloading.
when prompted to chose storage device, press B so you boot up without a storage device selected. skip tutorial, go to help and options, and chose your storage device from there.

The Final Inspection
The warrior stood and faced God,
Which will always come to pass,
He hoped his shoes were shining,
Just as brightly as his brass.
"Step forward now, old warrior,
How shall I deal with you?
Have you always turned the other cheek?
To my church have you been true?"
The warrior squared his shoulders and
Said, "No, Lord, I guess I ain't,
'Cause those of us who carry guns
Can't always be saint.
"I've had to work most Sundays,
And at times my talk was tough,
And sometimes I've been violent,
'Cause the world is awfully rough.
"But, I never took a penny
That wasn't mine to keep.
Though I worked a lot of overtime
When the bills got just too steep,
"And I never passed a cry for help,
Though at times I shook with fear,
And sometimes, God forgive me,
I've wept unmanly tears.
"I know I don't deserve a place
Among the people here,
They never wanted me around
Except to calm their fears.
"If you've a place for me here, Lord,
It needn't be so grand. In life
I didn't expect nor need too much,
So if you don't, I'll understand."
There was a silence all around the throne,
Where the saints had often trod,
As the warrior stood quietly.
For the judgment of his God.
"Step forward now, my warrior,
You've born your burdens well,
Walk peacefully on Heaven's streets,
You've done your time in Hell."

By SIOW YUEN CHING
PENANGITES have complained of inefficient public bus services and rickety old buses for many years. They say the drivers are rude and there are no proper route schedules.
According to northern region Commercial Vehicle Licensing Board (CVLB) chairman Shah Headan Ayoob Shah, these problems came about when mini buses started operations in Penang about 10 years ago.
"There was a proper public bus system before then and there were not many complaints about the stage buses.
"The arrival of mini buses resulted in overlapping of services and this caused fierce competition," he said.
Bus operators began to compete with one another on lucrative routes and neglected their social responsibility to service "not so profitable" routes, Shah Headan said.
Bus drivers are not keeping to the schedule and designated bus routes because they want to get more profits.
Recently, Citizens for Public Transport (Cepat) Coalition raised concerns over "ghost bus stops" which misled commuters into waiting for buses on discontinued routes.
Shah Headan said there was also lack of enforcement from relevant authorities.
"Previously, the Road Tran-sport Department, CVLB and traffic police would deploy their own teams of enforcement officers to check on these bus operators."
However, under the restructured public bus system to be implemented on Saturday, CVLB has set up an integrated enforcement squad comprising officers from Penang Municipal Council, the Road Transport Department, CVLB and traffic police.

You thought ESI was complicated — Now add big data
How can a lawyer help with document preservation if he doesn't understand the structure of that client's data? In a world where data is king and the vast majority of data is electronic, ignorance is no longer an option.
Staying in 'control' of third party discovery
Depending on the jurisdiction, counsel should be cognizant that there may very well be a need to coordinate discovery with the company's third party vendors.
Bracing for the e-discovery dangers of employee status changes
Given the potential consequences of destroying legally responsive ESI, it is imperative organizations develop processes for protecting vulnerable data. Current approaches to addressing this critical preservation issue tend to be ad hoc, highly manual, time consuming and error prone.

Bounds on the spectrum for Markov chains and Markov processes: a generalization of Cheeger's inequality
Abstract | References | Similar Articles | Additional Information
Abstract: We prove a general version of Cheeger's inequality for discrete-time Markov chains and continuous-time Markovian jump processes, both reversible and nonreversible, with general state space. We also prove a version of Cheeger's inequality for Markov chains and processes with killing. As an application, we prove exponential convergence to equilibrium for random walk with inward drift on a class of countable rooted graphs.

Tideland Electric Membership Corporation is a not-for-profit cooperative born from the merger of four electric utilities. Pamlico Power and Light headquartered in Engelhard, NC, which began electric service on June 11, 1935, was the oldest of the four companies. It also had the distinction of being the only investor owned utility among the merged companies, owned largely by its operator Peleg Dameron "P.D." Midgett, Jr. South of the Pamlico River, Pamlico-Beaufort EMC energized its first line on July 27, 1942, with Grantsboro serving as its central office. Across the sound, Ocracoke EMC received its charter on August 17, 1944, and resumed electric service after a hurricane demolished generators owned and operated by Ocracoke Power and Light, a venture started by legendary island entrepreneur, R.S. "Stanley" Wahab. Soon thereafter, at the stroke of midnight on December 14, 1944, Woodstock EMC inaugurated its own electric service to residents in the Belhaven and Pantego areas of Beaufort County. Tideland EMC was incorporated in 1971 with the merger of Pamlico-Beaufort EMC and Woodstock EMC. On January 1, 1973, Ocracoke EMC merged with Tideland. And on March 31, 1975, Pamlico Power and Light's ownership was transferred to Tideland EMC. Today Tideland EMC serves more than 22,000 metered services in Dare, Hyde, Beaufort, Washington, Pamlico and Craven counties.

I have some very good friends visiting in the upcoming few weeks. One of them is Doreen Pendgracs/Wizard of Words a writer and lover of chocolate. We plan on doing some chocolate and wine pairings while she's visiting along with Cheryl Therrien/Grandmother Diaries and my friend Elizabeth Scott.
Chocolate and Wine Pairings
Who doesn't love chocolate and wine pairings? Often many are afraid to give it a try because they aren't confident as to what wine to pair with the various types of chocolate.
The fact is chocolate and wine is an amazing combination. Together they offer a unique experience for the chocolate lover. A particular chocolate helps prepare the tongue for the various flavors of a particular wine varietal. The beauty of this combination is it allows both the wine and chocolate to shine in concert with each other. So the question is how to make chocolate and wine pairings a magical experience.
There are some things that can help make your chocolate and wine pairings a success.
- It's recommended that both the wine and the chocolate be at the proper or recommended temperature. That means the wine is to be at the temperature recommended for the specific varietal and chocolate at room temperature.
- Properly taste the wine varietal to allow the wine flavors to unfold on your tongue (Taking The Mystery Out Of Wine Tasting).
- Now taste the chocolate by allowing it to dissolve slowly on the tongue. Take note of the various flavors or notes (such fruits and/or spices flavors).
- Sip a bit of wine so that it blends with the chocolate. This is when you experience all the differences in how the wine and chocolate taste together.
- It's best to cleanse your palate between each wine and chocolate experience to gain the full experience and pleasure of each pairing.
Recommendations: (Per Brix Chocolate For Wine)
- Milk Chocolate (46% Cocoa): Port, Sherry, Rose, Burgundy
- Smooth Dark (54% Cocoa): Champagne, Riesling, Pinot Noir, Vintage Port
- Medium Dark (60% Cocoa): Merlot, Shiraz, Zinfandel, Chianti, Rhone
- Extra Dark (70% Cocoa): Cabernet Sauvignon, Bordeaux, Barolo, Malbec
A chocolate and wine pairings activity is a fun thing to do with a group or a couple of friends. So go get some different varietals of wine and flavors of chocolate and have a little fun.
Time to eat and drink…

Russian troops killed
Wednesday - 8/24/2011, 4:41pm EDT
Six Russian soldiers were killed and twelve wounded after an explosion at a military base in the southern part of Russia. A spokesman said the blast happened as the soldiers were trying to dispose of old munitions on the base in the Astrakhan region. This mishap came after two major fires at ammunition depots in other parts of Russia this summer. The fires caused extensive damage and numerous injuries. The incidents raise questions about the soldier's training to facilitate explosive ordinance removal.

heck of an effort for belilse tonite 7 2/3 8k's and 105 pitches way to bounce back from that horrible start last time out when he is good like this tonite he can be a very good 3rd or 4th starter for years to come
heck of an effort for belilse tonite 7 2/3 8k's and 105 pitches way to bounce back from that horrible start last time out when he is good like this tonite he can be a very good 3rd or 4th starter for years to come
1. Harang
2. Arroyo

4. Belisle
We're going to be a heck of a lot better in 2008 than people realize.
I'd really like to see the Reds make a play for Paul Byrd to fill the 5th spot in the rotation next year. I live closer to Cleveland than I do Cincinnati, so I get ample coverage of the Tribe and Byrd has been very good so far this year. As long as the dollars aren't absurd, I'd have no problem with Krivsky signing Byrd to a 2/3 year deal
Belisle has been really good in some outings this year. He has shown enough to me that he belongs in the rotation.
Great effort by Belise tonight. Stormy gave the city a collective heart attack tonight at the end but congrats to the Reds on the first winning streak of the month!
I think Mike Gosling has improved this year and the Reds should give him another shot at the #5 spot.
Belisle is too inconsistant. He have looked very good in starts and very pedestrian in others. He needs to pitch good for a number of starts before im on the bandwagon.
If they don't resign Dunn, they will have $20 mil to spend. I'd like to see them add a #3 to go with Harang, Arroyo, Bailey, and Belisle.

It's perhaps the most highly anticipated text message in presidential campaign history -- and it will likely come within the next 24 hours.
Who is Barack Obama's vice presidential pick? So far, the campaign has kept it a well-guarded secret despite a media frenzy in trying to be first with the news.
With the Obama campaign promising supporters that they'll be the first to know via text message or e-mail alert, some say they're keeping their PDAs close at hand and their cell phones charged.
"I feel like I'm checking my BlackBerry every 10 seconds," said Shayn Prapaisilp, 20, a George Washington University student who is home visiting his family in St. Louis.
Prapaisilp said he's flying to Washington, D.C., tonight and will check his cell phone for a text the minute he lands. "Someone's going to break it first," he predicted, "so I'm hoping I'll be in front of my TV or be able to access some sort of medium where I can access it."
Others are getting sick of the waiting -- and the rampant VP speculation of political pundits and reporters.
"I'm checking for the message often but have stopped listening to the guesses du jour," said Jennifer Duffy, senior editor of the nonpartisan Cook Political Report in Washington. "It has become like waiting for the birth of a baby that is 10 days overdue."
With the news media working themselves into a lather this week trying to figure out who and when, it could be sweet revenge to some voters to know that political reporters, too, are anxiously awaiting the text and e-mail.
"I have been rather tied to my electronic devices, and it's made me a little loopy," Slate chief political correspondent John Dickerson told ABCNews.com. "I have slightly spotty cell service where I am, so I've hired some summer interns to light a series of warning fires along the distance between good cell service and my current location."
Dickerson said that thanks to a few false starts, his system has been thoroughly tested and he's confident he'll get the message.
"When the senator sends out his message I should know rather quickly and I'll be able to fearlessly engage in drawing sweeping conclusions instantly," Dickerson joked.
Obama's pick is such a closely guarded secret that the campaign has refused to tell ABCNews.com how many people have signed up for the VP alert.
The McCain campaign, which has attempted to deride Obama as a "celebrity" offered this shot at the anticipated text and e-mail alert: "I hope his fans know you can't text-vote for president like you can for 'American Idol,'" Michael Palmer, McCain's eCampaign director, told ABCNews.com.
Iowa voter Diana Van Zee, 59, heard about the Obama campaign's e-mail but didn't sign up for an alert.
"I'm still really undecided," she said, "and I'm not that much into it that I need to be the first to know."
The anticipated e-mail and text announcement has spawned an online hoax effort.
ABC News' Jake Tapper reports an email sent to an ABC colleague today read: "Dear supporters..I said you would be the first to know, and you are -- I have selected Virginia Gov. Tim Kaine as my running mate!" The hoax email's subject line is "My Vice President" and it is signed simply: "Barack."

Frailty, Thy Name Is Mad
William Shakespeare's Hamlet has seen many incarnations over the centuries: Hamlet in New York. Hamlet in Havana. Hamlet in modern times. Hamlet in the Old West. Even animated Hamlet.
But you've never seen the Bard's tale of crazy people doing crazy things in the hands of the Mad Cat Theatre Company. The Hamlet Dog and Pony Show, opening Friday at the Light Box at Goldman Warehouse (404 NW 26th St., Miami), is the theater company's original psychedelic mindscrew that will take audiences in, through, and out of Hamlet by way of overstaged performances, musical deconstruction, and everything expected from Mad Cat's darkly intellectual, subversive style. A layered and loose take on German playwright Heiner Muller's postmodern version, HamletMachine, Mad Cat's production features musical sampling and Prince's Purple Rain, employed to brazenly elicit scorn toward and distrust of Shakespeare's classic work. The performances are exaggerated, the sociopolitical messages are in your face, and most of all, the old tragedy of the Dutch prince is turned on its head to deliver a ball-tripping great time.
For tickets, visit madcattheatre.org, or call OvationTix at 866-811-4111.
Thu., July 26, 8 p.m.; Fri., July 27, 7 p.m.; Thursdays-Saturdays, 8 p.m.; Sundays, 2 p.m. Starts: July 26. Continues through Aug. 12, 2012

It appears animal owners will have another option in the area when their pets become sick or have other medical needs.
The New Tazewell Planning Commission approved a site plan from Dr. Michael Rowland to renovate a building at the corner of Hwy. 33 South and Rowe Street that, when completed, will become the Rowland Veterinarian Services.
The nearly 5,000 square foot structure once housed an assortment of businesses. It will keep the same footprint except for the addition of a small covered porch.
The clinic will be 100 percent contained in the building. No dog runs or water runoff will interfere with neighbors' properties, according to the plan.
The site plans call for the addition of a new stone facade to the front and stucco to the rear of the building. Major landscaping will also be completed around the structure.
In another matter, the New Tazewell Municipal Airport is undergoing a change in managers. Bill Hensley has decided to retire, leaving the position open for FAA certified mechanic Mitch Edwards to fill.
The Tazewell-New Tazewell Fire Station will be getting a new ladder truck. The Board of Mayor and Aldermen unanimously approved its share of $22,000 for the purchase of the vehicle.
Also, the New Tazewell Beer Board approved the transfer of two permits last week.
Lazy Days Market co-owners Keith Lovins, Shannon McDaniels and David Davis dissolved the partnership in the business. Davis has taken sole proprietorship. He said plans are to expand the business to include a delicatessen.
The beer permit for the BP convenience, store just north of DeRoyal Industries, was transferred from Karim Boghani to Umong Rasiklal Patel.
Both permits were approved by a vote of five to one, with board member Phil Greer casting the only vote against the action.

1) The self-play can be paused at any time. You may want to pause the play to take advantage of the URLs that are found in the self-play. When the URLs are clicked, a new window opens up, so with the closing of the window, the viewer can return to where they had left off and resume the presentation.
2) The viewer can also decide to switch to "notes" as opposed to "outline" view on the right-hand side. The notes section is the script for each slide, if the viewer wants to read along.
3) Besides the volume control on the monitor, the presentation itself has a volume control. The viewer will need to check both if there is a volume issue.
Comments and questions are welcome and can be sent to firstname.lastname@example.com by stemp003 at January 22, 2008 4:34 PM

I know this if off topic but I'm looking into starting my
own weblog and was curious what all is required to get set up?
I'm assuming having a blog like yours would cost a pretty penny?
I'm not very web smart so I'm not 100% certain. Any recommendations or advice would be greatly appreciated.
I'm gone to inform my little brother, that he should
also pay a quick visit this web site on regular basis to obtain updated from latest reports.
You really make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this matter to be really something which
I think I would never understand. It seems too complex and extremely broad for me.
I'm looking forward for your next post, I'll try to get the
hang of it!

Symptoms of Hot Flashes
- Intense feelings of heat in the face
- Irregular and rapid heartbeat
- Reddness and flushing in the face
- Regular sleep distrubances
- Perspiration
- Cool chills
- Being hot and sweaty from the knees up, yet having cold feet
What is an Irregular Period?
For many women, it is difficult to define what a normal period is. Every menstrual cycle is entirely different, depending on one's body and hormones. A menstrual cycle with an interval of 24 to 31 days is considered normal, with the duration of bleeding lasting for five days. There are many women who only get their periods one to four times a year, while others have heavy flows for months at a time. A great way to determine the regularity of your menstrual cycle is to keep a chart and count the number of days between each period. If the period occurs within the same number of days between each cycle, than your periods are normal.
Irregular periods affect about 30% of women in their reproductive years. Defined as any type of bleeding that is abnormal compared to one's typical menstrual cycle, irregular periods are characterized by unusual cycle lengths. Marked by changes in a woman's typical menstrual cycle that persists for several months, women who experience irregular periods encounter frequent spotting, mid-cycle bleeding, heavy bleeding or absence of period.
Types of Irregular Periods That Affect the Frequency of Menstruation
- Polymenorrhea – An abnormally frequent recurrence of the menstrual cycle, typically with intervals of 21 days or less
- Oligomenorrhea – Extremely short or infrequent menstrual periods. The frequency exceeds 35 days in between menstruation and less than three days during it.
- Amenorrhea – The absence of periods for more than three consecutive periods in women of reproductive age whom are not pregnant.
Types of Irregular Periods that Produce Pain During Menstruation:
- Dysmenorrhea – A medical condition characterized by cramps and severe uterine pain during menstruation. Involves menstrual periods that are so severe that it limits interferes with ones daily activities. The pain is generally in the pelvis or lower abdomen.
Types of Irregular Periods That Affect the Quantity of Menstruation:
- Hypomenorrhea – A condition characterized by scanty periods and a diminution of the menstrual flow; spotting at periods.
- Menorrhagia – an abnormally heavy and prolonged duration of bleeding. It is diagnosed when a woman's period lasts longer than a week and is often associated with dysmenorrhoea..
Irregular Periods and Fertility
Even with irregular menstrual cycles, pregnancy can occur anytime for women who haven't experienced menopause yet. Many women who are experiencing the beginning stages of perimenopause jump to the conclusion that they have lost their periods and are unfertile, but to their surprise, they have their periods return after a few months.
Anovulation is a condition where the ovaries fail to release an oocyte, (an egg) during a menstrual cycle, thus ovulation does not take place. Although you are bleeding during the cycle, you do not release an egg or ovulate. It is important to note that a woman who fails to ovulate at each menstrual cycle is not undergoing menopause. Women who experience anovulatory cycles before menopause can lead to difficulties in conception and/or infertility.
Although there are many natural approaches to treating this, many women who are dealing with anovulation are prescribed fertility drugs, such as Clomid, to increase the number of ovulation periods. Before one begins treatment for anovulation, it is crucial to rule out other conditions that could interfere with ovulation, such as diabetes, ovarian issues, abnormalities of the pituitary, adrenal and thyroid glands and liver disease.
Causes of Irregular Periods
Hormonal In order to have a menstrual cycle, your body must produce hormones, known as estrogen and progesterone. These hormones are found in the hypothalamus, pituitary gland and ovaries. In order to trigger ovulation and menstruation, these parts of the body need to send signals to one another. This process is closely controlled by the hypothalamus. As you age, the hypothalamus function declines and these signals are thrown out of order, causing irregular periods.
Estrogen is responsible for thickening the uterine lining before ovulating, so when estrogen levels decrease, the lining sheds and causes heavy bleeding. Progesterone is responsible for controlling the intensity and duration of the menstrual cycle, so when progesterone levels drop, it can lead to irregular periods. Other Causes While hormonal imbalance is one of the main causes of irregular periods during menopause, pre-existing health conditions and lifestyle triggers can also be responsible for irregular periods.
Health Conditions
- Polycistic Ovarian Syndrome
- Uterine abnormalities (cysts, polyps, fibroids, endometriosis)
- Tuberculosis
- Irritable Bowel Syndrome
- Diabetes
- Cancer
- Asthma
- Thyroid dysfunction
- Eating disorders
- Anemia
Lifestyle Triggers
- Stress and anxiety
- Significant weight loss or weight gain
- Over exercise
- Breastfeeding
- Poor nutrition
- Heavy tobacco use
- Excessive consumption of alcohol, caffeine and sugar
- Medication use
What To Do About Your Irregular Periods:
- Talk to your health care practitioner if you are experiencing any of the symptoms listed above.
- Schedule a complete physical, including a Pap Smear and a pelvic exam.
- Request for a complete blood count (CBC) to rule out anemia.
Managing Irregular Periods
For many perimenopausal women, simply decreasing stress levels, improving nutrition and dietary intake, while adding nutritional supplements can provide a natural way to restore a woman's regular menstrual cycle.
Diet Changes
- Stay hydrated – One of the most important diet changes to minimize hot flashes is to drink at least eight glasses of water a day. Water helps flush out toxins from the body and can have a positive effect on menstrual cycles.
- Eat Five Small Meals a Day – Eating sporadically, missing meals and dieting sends your body into survival mode. The bodies which are in starving mode will not cycle regularly, resulting in irregular periods. It doesn't have to be a complete modification of your diet, but it is important to decrease your intake of refined carbohydrates
- Avoid Foods That Cause Constipation – Avoid consuming foods that could lead to constipation, such as sour and fried foods. Avoid eggplant, yellow pumpkin and potatoes.
- Omega-3 Fatty Acids – Increase your intake of fish, such as salmon, tuna, mackerel, herrings, which contains omega-3 fatty acids that can help restore abnormal periods.
- Bamboo Leaves – Bamboo leaves can stimulate and promote menstrual flow, due to the emmenagogue property. Bamboo leaves can also relieve pain during menstruation.
Daily Lifestyle Changes
- Exercise – Any activity that promotes mobility, flexibility and relaxation can help a menopausal woman who is experiencing irregular periods. But DON'T engage in strenuous exercise when experiencing irregularity. Depending on how heavy your flow is or how intense the pain is, it is recommended to use stairs at work whenever possible and increase daily walking or jogging time. Working out reduces anxiety and increases endorphin levels, which raises your threshold for pain.
- Stress Reduction and Relaxation – Relaxation exercises, breathing exercises, massage, hypnosis, yoga and visualization techniques are all wonderful ways to help deal with stress and minimize the effects of stress on your body during menopause.
- Herbal Remedies – Black Cohosh, Red Clover, Dong Quai, Ginseng, Kava and evening primrose oil can be used as natural therapies, although there are some risks involved. Herbal supplements are not as closely regulated as prescription drugs and the amount of the herbal product, quality and safety may vary between brands.
- Prescription Treatments – Catapres and Aldomet (blood pressure medications); Birth control pills; Zoloft and Effexor(antidepressants); Provera and Megace (other hormones); and Neurontin (anti-seizure drug)
- Hormone Therapy Treatments (HRT) – For more severe cases of menopause, women may seek surgical or pharmaceutical treatments, although it is important to keep in mind that there are many studies showing hormone replacement therapy (HRT) increases a woman's risk of elevated blood pressure, endometrial and breast cancers, strokes, blood clots and gallbladder disease. It is advised to speak with your doctor or healthcare professional regarding the negative side effects before you begin treatment.
One of the most commonly used herbal remedies is Black Cohosh, a perennial plant that is a member of thes buttercup family. It provides powerful phytoestrogens that mimic the hormone's effects and bind to hormone receptors in the uterus and other parts of the body, alleviating hot flashes. Black Cohosh is also known to relieve hot flashes efficiently and is a good alternative to HRT. It is also used effectively for treating PMS, arthritis and lowering blood pressure. Red Clover, Dong Quai, Ginseng, Kava and evening primrose oil can be used as natural therapies, although there are some risks involved. Herbal supplements are not as closely regulated as prescription drugs and the amount of the herbal product, quality and safety may vary between brands.

Serious Problems with nvidia-drivers
I am experiencing serious Problems with the nvidia kernel- and glx-drivers.
Let me explain it like this:
(nvidia-kernel || nvidia-glx) && (v4l || xfree-dga) = Systemfreeze
If I use the drivers and the DGA-extension or the v4l-module is enabled, then my system freezes nearly immediately after I start a TV-Application like xawtv or zapping. If I disable DGA (Section "extmod", option "omit xfree-dga" or so in XF86Config)and v4l so that none of these two is enabled, then everything works fine.
I already reserved IRQ's for both, the Graphics-Card (GF4TI - formerly it was a GF2GTS with the same Problems) and the TV-Card (BT878) - didn't help. I also tried all three kinds of AGP-Support (agpgart, nvidia and none) - still freezes.
Of course, I could leave it with DGA and v4l disabled, but then I won't be able to watch TV in Overlay-Mode - and without Overlay-Mode enabled, the TV-Picture looks...uhm...well...not very good.
My PC:
Athlon-TB 1300
GF4TI with 64MB (formerly a GF2GTS with 32MB - same Problems)
Hauppauge WinTV-Theater with BT878-Chip
Any ideas for this problem ?
Thanks for your help!
Greetings from a very cold Germany
Hello beejay,
I have a similar problem with my card, a
GF4Ti (4200) , 128 MB .
I installed RPMs for SuSE 8.0 (kernel and glx)
from the command line, X-server not running.
No complaints during installation with "rpm -ivh xxx" (all according to Nvidia's installation instruction).
I used the X-Config program "sax2" to configure the display. I set it to 1024-768, 16,7 million
colors, 85 Hz V-sync. I chose the correct Nvidia
graphic card and activated the glx-option in
the 3D-properties. I did not play with any
expert-options in sax2.
The monitor can handle the resolution and frequencies. I also have Window-XP running on the
same disk and there everything works fine.
When I then try to test the X-server the monitor
becomes black and stays like that.
The system freezes.
The same when I just save the X-configuration
and start the X-server by runlevel 5 i.e.
The only choice I then have is to power off.
When I press CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE the system
powers off immediately.
When I use the card setting "VESA, 1024x768, 85 Hz" all is OK.
I don't know what is wrong.
I trusted in sax2 and did not try to find an
error in the X-configuration file.
Maybe I should, but what should I search for?
Not the same
When I was using SuSE, I also had this problem. The origin of your problem is - yes - Sax2 . It seems like sax2 has some problems in determining the capabilities of GeForce-Cards. If you configure your XFree with xf86config, then you will have more control over the setup-process.
If you done well with xf86config, then everything will be fine.:)
Ist there nobody out there who also experienced my original problem? Please - someone help. Some ideas might also help...!
I haven't had this problem with a similar setup, but using a clone TV tuner card with the BT878 chipset. It works fine no problems.
From memory I'm sure that the Hauppauge card has it's own xawtv setting for the BT878 chipset. As I seem to have noticed that even though it uses this chipset, Hauppauge may configure it in a different way which may be causing the system to freeze.
Other than that there's nothing else that I can suggest... :confused:
PS, this was using the old 2960 drivers from Nvidia though..
I have the same problem you have. But I think it is a Via problem.. not a nVidia problem.
VIA Problem
I don't think so because I have an ALi Chipset on my Mainboard

BJP's Uttar Pradesh in-charge and prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi's close aide, Amit Shah, remained unflappable when asked about party elder Jaswant Singh filing his nomination as an independent from the Barmer Lok Sabha constituency in Rajasthan. Shah said in a dismissive tone that the BJP is a winning party and that is the reason there is much demand for party tickets.
Earlier on Monday afternoon, party vice president Mukthar Abbas Naqvi was more diplomatic. He said Jaswant Singh belonged to the party, and the parting of ways does not negate his services to the party. A similar sentiment was expressed by party president Rajnath Singh's political secretary Sudhanshu Trivedi on Saturday. He too had emphasised that Jaswant's valuable past with the party will remain untarnished.
Earlier on Monday, Jaswant Singh accused Rajnath and Rajasthan chief minister Vasundhara Raje of "betraying" him by not fielding him from the Barmer Lok Sabha constituency, which he will now contest as an independent.
Saying that it was he who had recommended Raje for the chief minister's post and Rajnath as the BJP president, Jaswant said here after filing his nomination papers, "They have betrayed me."
Retorting to Arun Jatiley's advice that he should abide by the party decision and learn to accept a 'no', Jaswant said that he would not listen to preaching from Jaitley. Jaswant said the new regime reminded
him of the days of the 1975 Emergency that Indira Gandhi had imposed.
The official party line, however, is not to accept that the party leadership has been insensitive in dealing with senior leaders like LK Advani, Murli Manohar Joshi or Jaswant. The party spokespersons say that the fact that Advani had conceded to contest from Gandhinagar is an indication that there was no trouble in the matter. Likewise, that Joshi did not resist being moved from Varanasi, to make way for PM candidate Narendra Modi, to Kanpur, again indicated that there was no problem in the first place. In fact, Advani was nearly coerced into abiding by the party decision that he should contest from Gandhinagar, and an unhappy Joshi was made to swallow the bitter pill of being moved out of Varanasi to pave the way for Modi.
There was no possibility of explaining Jaswant's dissonant note because he went ahead and filed his nomination as an independent, which pits him against the party's nominee and Congress defector Sonaram Choudhary, a Jat, who is supposed to have an electoral advantage because of the Jat majority in the constituency.

Bodmin Town 3 Cullompton Rangers 2
Chris Wright's injury time strike sealed the victory which took Bodmin to the top of the Carlsberg South West Peninsula League premier division on Saturday evening.
But Bodmin looked anything but leaders as they allowed a 2-0 half-time lead to be cancelled out by second from bottom Cullompton, who had taken only one point from their previous ten away games.
Indeed Cullompton looked the more likely to snatch a winner as they pushed forward in the last 15 minutes against a Bodmin team who lost their shape and confidence.
The visitors had to be considered very unlucky to have left Priory Park empty-handed because their second half fightback was worthy of at least a point.
Wright had given Bodmin a 29th minute lead after good work by Seb Broomfield and Danny O'Hagan but there was a huge slice of good fortune about their second goal four minutes before the break.
Sam Matthews found himself in space wide on the left and seemed to be looking to pick out Wright on the far post but his cross hit the inside of the woodwork and rolled into the net.
Wright almost made it 3-0 on the stroke of half-time but Cullompton keeper Ryan Lewis made a save, the significance of which became clearer as the second half developed.
Central defender Dan Kenyan gave Cullompton renewed hope by smashing in a 57th minute goal and it was 2-2 in the 71st minute with Jack Towill sliding a low shot past Bodmin keeper Kevin Miller.
And three minutes later Towill should have put the visitors ahead. Miller made a fingertip save to deny Luke Skinner but the ball broke to Towill who somehow drilled his close range shot into the side netting.
Cullompton created another opportunity in the 78th minute with substitute Skinner dispossessing Shane Jewell in the penalty area and firing a low shot past Miller but also inches wide of the post.
Skinner then had Miller stretching to tip over a 25-yard blockbuster as the visitors saw the chance to pull off a shock result.
To their credit Bodmin got themselves off the ropes to create a spell of late pressure which ended with Jewell's left wing cross being fired in by Wright in the six yard box with only a minute of injury time left.
Bodmin: Miller, Podmore (Jewell 46), N Doel (Trethewey 81), Chambers, Morgan, Swiggs, Matthews, Alexander, O'Hagan, Wright, Broomfield (Kanaki 63).
Scorers: Wright (29 & 90+1), Matthews (41).
Yellow card: Matthews (69).
Cullompton: Lewis, Brookman, O'Loughlin, Pryse, Kenyan, Sanders, Towill (Matt Fanson 81), Beech, Kemp, James Fanson, Donohue.
Scorers: Kenyan (57), Towill (71).
Referee: Ben Judd.

And now the big news. This is where I spent 5 hours this afternoon
There were three different options from; riding on the road (they had the full range of bikes to choose from), track experience or off road coaching and riding.
So I still can't believe that I ended up astride a BMW 1000 weapon heading down pit straight! What a scary, exciting time. These bikes are so fast, their brakes are so good I think my eyeballs hit my visor when I first applied them. As my friends from home will confirm I am no road rider. If I was meant to find any apexes on the track, well I would still be out there looking. Anyway enough, here is the proof (check out the other bikes that were available)
And if anyone who was there today is reading this, no I wasn't swerving to warm the tires up as I left pit lane - that was my customary wobble....
Here is the off road school, this is Carlos on a brand new GS taking his group through the basics, man could he ride that well. We are staying with Carlos and Catarina in Lisbon, awesome couple.
These are some of the bikes available for the road ride.
Various suppliers also had stall including Touratech, BMW apparel etc.
BMW did it so well, right from the check in procedures, the free lunch / juice / coffee etc, the bike options and even to when we were leaving the bike wash people turned up to groom all of the bikes for tomorrow.
And finally some eye candy from my lunch stop in Estoril
Isn't that just gorgeous.
Is great to see you are having fun. I hope you enjoy the track. I have done some trackdays (in car) in Estoril and is a very nice track.
As promise , and sorry for delay i give some info about the A22- Via do Infante.
Is a toll road with ellectronic tolls, no tollbooth.
How it works:
Toll payment is based on a small transponder which is linked to your Portuguese bank account, and debited within a day or two of every passage, which is fine if you are a resident with a Portuguese bank account.
The alternative is to pay your tolls at the Post Office or Pay Shop, which must be done within five days, but only after 48 hours have transpired. That's ok if you have a rent-a-car with Portuguese plates, but you cannot post-pay your tolls if you have foreign number plates. The official answer is "wait until we write to you at your address back home", the reality is that we don't know anyone (yet) who has received such a letter. So, if you are a visitor, how do you pay, where do you pay, what will it cost?
Foreign license plate veicules tend to do this( except the spanish) Since you only live in the other side of the world and if the Portuguese autorities cannot get you address or fiscal number, you may be lucky and dont pay anything. but i dont advise to do that.
Pre Paid Passes:
If you have a foreign registered car, there are alternative options.
Option One
: You can purchase a pre-paid pass, valid for 3 days from any Post Office (and they are very clued up on the whole situation). A three day pass costs Euros 20 for a normal car, and is for unlimited tolls along the whole motorway for the three (consecutive) days you specify. You can only purchase six of these passes every year.
Pre Paid Airport trip
. You can also buy a one way or return journey pre paid ticket for a trip to: Faro Airport (via A22). Francisco Sá Carneiro Airport (Porto) (via A28/A41); or Francisco Sá Carneiro Airport (via A41/A42) from any Post Office
Option Two
is to purchase a five day pass, again from any Post Office, The cost is Euros 10 initially (or more), tolls must be pre-paid, so deposit enough to cover your expected journeys. As far as we can ascertain, you can only buy one of these, and you pay the normal toll charge, based on your journey. Refunds of unused tolls are possible, but we don't know anyone who has tried! You will get a receipt which you should display on your dashboard, and keep in a safe place thereafter. One reader has told us that he has been told that the unused part of his payment will be refunded to his Credit Card automatically once the toll road concessionaires have calculated what he has used in tolls."
Source :
Or you can not use it at all , maybe is the easy way. Just be very carefull in EN125 . In case we meet up in Faro for a beer or dinner
and you have use the A22 you can note the value in Euros of each cross in the electronic tool and i can go to the post office pay that for you. I go to post Office almost every day, so is not a trouble.
This is the electronic tools and with the price (is varies in each crossing) on that big blue board. The A22 from the exit of highway A2- autoestrada do Sul to faro is 1,70.
Other source of Info :
I hope Mike and Leanne have a lots of fun and enjoy this ride.
Ride safe.
Off topic:
Did you know Faro is the Capital of Motorcycle? Every year takes place Problaby the largest biker concentration of europe. Is petty you arent even near to see this show. Who already came to Faro know what I mean.
The program for this year.

Straight to jail
from Kanye West (Ft. Beyoncé, Big Sean & Charlie Wilson) – See Me Now Lyrics on Genius
In "Ghettopoly", the "Chance" deck should have like 10 of these:
This also may be a reference to a frequently debated political topic. Some people believe that the American judicial system has a bias and hatred towards African Americans who are wealthy and successful, and accuse that the courts are unnecessarily strict (an example would be Plaxico Burress, who accidentally SHOT HIMSELF and then spent years in prison for illegal gun possession, as if his self-afflicted gunshot wound wasn't a natural consequence) and also that law-enforcement plants evidence on blacks (an example was the Michael Jackson trials, although this claim is not backed-up my much evidence).
