Christie Administration Announces E-Mail and Fax Voting Available to New Jerseyans Displaced by Hurricane Sandy
New Jersey Governor Chris Christie announced e-mail and fax voting available to New Jerseyans displaced by Hurricane Sandy. A process that is already available to military and overseas voters, the electronic voting system will hopefully make it easier for citizens displaced by Hurricane Sandy and first responders assisting in recovery efforts to vote. Below is the statement released by the Christie administration:
Trenton, NJ - The New Jersey Department of State has issued a directive today to county elections officials to permit New Jersey registered voters displaced by Hurricane Sandy to vote electronically. This directive also is intended to assist displaced first responders, whose tireless recovery efforts away from home has made voting a challenge.
"This has been an extraordinary storm that has created unthinkable destruction across our state and we know many people have questions about how and where to cast their vote in Tuesday's election. To help alleviate pressure on polling places, we encourage voters to either use electronic voting or the extended hours
at county offices to cast their vote," said Lt. Governor Kim Guadagno. "Despite the widespread damage Hurricane Sandy has caused, New Jersey is committed to working through the enormous obstacles before us to hold an open and transparent election befitting our state and the resiliency of its citizens."
To vote electronically, displaced voters may submit a mail-in ballot application either by e-mail or fax to their county clerk. Once an application is approved, the clerk will electronically send a ballot to the voter by either fax or e-mail in accordance to the voter's preference. Voters must return their electronic ballot - by fax or email - no later than November 6, 2012, at 8 p.m.
Voters can download a mail-in ballot application for their county by visiting http://nj.gov/state/elections/voting-information-vote-by-mail.html. A list of county clerk websites, phone numbers and fax numbers are available by visiting http://nj.gov/state/elections/voting-information-local-officials.html.
Separate directives issued today enable displaced voters and first responders to vote by provisional ballot at a polling place in a county other than the voter's county of registration. The deadline for county clerks to receive mail-in ballots has been extended to November 19, 2012, for any ballot postmarked on or before November 5, 2012. Mail-in ballots post marked later than November 5 will not be accepted.
County elections officials have also been directed to print a sufficient number of provisional and emergency ballots to accommodate voters.
Voters are encouraged to take advantage of extended office hours at county elections offices to cast their vote early and in-person. Registered voters can obtain and cast their ballot in-person at their county elections office up until 3 pm Tuesday. County election offices are to remain open, at a minimum, from 8:30 am to 4:30 pm throughout the weekend, until November 5. Voters that have a mail-in ballot and choose to deliver their ballot to the county elections office in person must present their completed ballot to their county elections office no later than the close of polls on Tuesday.
Information is also available by calling 1-877-NJVOTER."

Primary use is for a monthly newsletter, and photos. It has performed flawlessly and amazes everyone in the office who has used it. I loved it so much I bought one for home. Owned for a year and has never missed a beat. Initial setup would'nt display ink levels, but a quick and friendly call to HP tech solved the problem quickly. Had no problem with second unit.
This is a great buy, and PCRush had a great price. I've been an HP printer user for years and knew that this would be a great buy. I got this all-in-one as a gift for my boyfriend--he loves it and is very satisfied with the quality of the prints that this printer does.
I use this printer to print e-mail messages and documents... scan documents... upload pictures.Quite easy to use.I haven't found in negatives to speak about.
The software that accompanies this product conflicts with other computer applications. We have two of these printers, tied to two different computers with similar problems. The printer is nice, has a small footprint and does an excellent printing job. It's the software that lowers my rating of this product.
a great hp product. This is the second photosmartprinter we have purchased. the set up was very easy.all functions perform nicely. It is a bit noisywhen printing. also,somewhat slow when printingmultiple copies. the photo prints are excellentin color, tone and contrast and easy to use. the HP Photosmart C7280 would be an excellent choice if you are looking for an all in one printer

While I'll agree that most don't know how to use their phone to it's full extent, I don't think it would be a good thing for everyone to start watching streaming video on their phone just because of the congestion it would cause. And as for paying twice, sure being poor wouldn't help but if paying an extra $40 per month is that big a hassle maybe you need to cut back in other areas.

A special envoy of the President of Niger, Mahamadou Issoufou, on Monday, February 18, 2013 handed over a sealed message to the Prime Minister, Head of Government, Philemon Yang for forwarding to President Paul Biya.
The envoy, Salifou Labo Bouche, who is Niger's Minister of Communication and New Information Technologies, was received at the Star Building, Yaounde in the presence of Niger's Honorary Consul to Cameroon, Abdoul Mohamed and Cameroon's Minister of Youth and Civic Education, Bidoung Mpkatt. The special envoy used the occasion to invite Cameroon to attend the 43-member Conference of Ministers of Youths and Sports, CONFEJES, that will hold in Niger from March 4 to 8, 2013.
He also solicited Cameroon's support for its candidate to the post of President of the Conference of Ministers of Youths and Sports. Salifou Labo Bouche told the press that the Prime Minister assured him the matter will be examined and he hopes for a positive response.
The Niger minister also lauded bilateral relations between Cameroon and his country. He expressed hope that relations will be further strengthened when his country's proposed oil pipeline eventually passes through Cameroon. He disclosed that the project was on course and country's officials will at the right moment finalise the file with the Cameroon government.

Who says Valentine's Day is just for lovers? I say it's for everyone you love, even those wee little ones who have no earthly idea what February 14th is all about. Well, yet anyway. So here I've rounded up some of my favorite Valentine's Day gifts for babies that I bet you'll love as much as I do. And even better, you'll get lots of use out of them beyond Valentine's Day.
- 'Tis the season for booties, and what better way to keep those little toes warm than with these ridiculously adorable Valentines baby booties.
- For those of you with little boys, these sweet Valentine's day tie shirts and onesies are amazing! And way better than trying to deal with a clip-on tie for sure.
- So sure, babies don't care about artwork, but how cute is this Valentine's Day dinosaur print for their nursery? Plus, it transitions well to a big kid room or play room.
- My kids lived in Trumpette socks when they were babies because they actually stayed on, so it's no surprise I love their Valentine pixie socks.
- My little girls never had enough hair to wear barrettes as babies, but if your baby girl does, these Valentine's Day hair clips are perfect!
- Since babies can't have candy for Valentine's Day, we've got the next best thing for little ones with budding chompers: This handmade wooden ASL I Love You teether.
Are you going to celebrate Valentine's Day with your little one?

Here is my beef: I see it commonly. A hydrophilic coatings company will "whip up" a coating and put it on the market. Putting it on the market is not a problem. "Whipping it up" is, especially when the company goes on to make all kinds of ridiculous marketing claims about it, many of them patently false or unproven. I wish the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) would take a look at some of these claims, honestly. As a generic example, "XXXX is the most lubricious coating available." or "XXX enhances the design features of any device." These sorts of claims often come from companies that never show testing data beyond 10 cycles. Anyone can do that. Essentially, these claims are made without any meaningful data to back them up.
This is just one example. Others exist. Another example is when companies take a hydrophilic coating, dump an antimicrobial into it and mix it together and just because it mixes successfully the company touts the coating as an "antimicrobial hydrophilic coating".
So, why do I have a problem with these practices? Two reasons: a client can really hose itself by going to one of these companies and then finding the coating is completely untested and probably never would have worked in its application. Time is wasted. Second, it ruins it for the other hydrophilic coatings companies that do the right thing and put their coatings through extensive verification testing BEFORE putting them on the market. Coatings that are done right have a better chance of success because their vendors are more knowledgeable of how they will perform under certain applications.
Now let me get specific. In my opinion, for a coating to be released to market for use in medical devices, the vendor must have some idea that it will work in at least some intended applications, and most medical applications have certain things in common like shelf-life determination and sterilization. That means certain tests need to be conducted on the coating before trying to release it to market:
1) Lubricity and durability baseline - What is the coefficient of friction and how many cycles can the coating withstand initially after applying to a surface? Sure, you can show 10 cycles with a tiny normal force, but know that the best coatings out there can bury you if you do that.
2) Lubricity and durability after sterilization - If you are going to say your coating is sterilizable, then you darn well better actually sterilize it and see if it is. For every method you claim, you need to do a test for it: Gamma-irradiation, Ethylene Oxide, Autoclaving, Other, etc. How much lubricity/durability does it lose?
3) Lubricity and durability after Aging AND Sterilization - It's nice if your coating can be sterilized every which way, but what happens if you sterilize it and then stick it on a shelf for three years? Will it function after that?
These are just some items to look at. Other things could include a knowledge of what substrates work best with the coating, an Arrhenius Plot of degradation at different temperatures, a study of the coating solution aging characteristics, and more. That is what it means to know a little about a coating, but barely scratches the surface.
Antimicrobial coatings have it worse. Probably 90% of the antimicrobial hydrophilic coatings out there are untested. Their creators just mixed them up and got them to mix successfully and put them right out into the field. If I were a buyer, I'd be scared. What is the release profile of the antimicrobial from the coating? What is the primary method by which it kills? What organisms does it target? For how many days does it release? Most importantly, does the addition of the antimicrobial affect any of the other four things I talked about above: lubricity, durability, sterilizability, and aging of the coating? What happens if you store the coating solution containing the antimicrobial? Remember, the "product" sold by the hydrophilic coating company is usually a bottle of liquid coating solution, not a dry coating on a finished device. Has the hydrophilic coating company done sufficient shipping tests, aging, and pot life characterization of its product? The answer for most of these companies is a resounding "NO", and that is why I am not pleased, on one hand.
On the other hand, the companies that are doing this right, but taking a little longer to get to market, will have a business 5 years from now.

Saturday 31 May – Saturday 2 August 2008
Moray Art Centre is honoured to feature this intimate retrospective of the work of John Byrne, including work generously loaned from private, regional and national collections, as the inaugural exhibition in the new gallery. The artist has closely informed and supported the exhibition, personally selecting many of the works as well as loaning new work from his own private collection, Joie de Vivre (Portrait of Honor & Xavier).
The exhibition displays the breadth and strength of a painting practice spanning nearly forty years, demonstrating Byrne's special and unique contribution to Scottish Art. Byrne studied painting at Glasgow School of Art from 1958 – 1963 and was hugely encouraged by their strong tradition of figurative painting, subsequently traveling to Italy where he viewed Giotto's frescoes and the paintings of Duccio and Cimabue, ultimately honing a masterful representational talent. Byrne's expansive and diverse career has also seen his work reach wide audiences in the form of record covers for the Beatles, Gerry Rafferty and Billy Connolly. Byrne arguably remains best known for his surreal 'faux-naif' images famously produced under the pseudonym, 'Patrick', one of the finest examples of which is the monumental American Boy on loan to this exhibition from Glasgow Museums.
Featuring the robust and poignant work, Portrait of the Artist Steven Campbell from Paisley Museum & Art Galleries, the exhibition also displays highlights from the collection of the Scottish National Portrait Gallery including Self-Portrait in a Flowered Jacket and Portrait of Billy Connolly. The latter work is made more acutely relevant to this exhibition by the inclusion of two works from Connolly's own private collection. The selection demonstrates two distinctive polars of Byrne's painting practice – grand and figurative; illustrative and surreal. In a similar way, Flak, a recent and powerful self-portrait may be contrasted sharply with a work produced in the same year, Suzi, Green Dress, a playful character study for the National Theatre of Scotland's adaptation of the momentous TV series, Tutti-Frutti, which Byrne conceived, wrote and designed.

Illinois seeks to restrict violent gamesFebruary 28, 2005
At a hearing here, members of a U.S. House of Representatives panel on consumer protection said gaming companies aren't doing enough to protect children from explicit products and called for a re-examination of the voluntary ratings system used by the industry.
Committee Chairman Cliff Stearns, a Florida Republican, and others also suggested that certain explicit games don't deserve traditional free speech protections. "Building a video game around a premise based on very realistic, cold-blooded assassinations of innocent bystanders and police" is "more akin to hate speech, not free speech," he said.
The meeting brought a renewed focus on a controversy revealed last year related to the wildly popular game "Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas." The committee played a brief video of shooting scenes from the game, which created an uproar last year when the public learned of a sexually explicit scene embedded in its code.
The Federal Trade Commission recently published a proposed settlement with the game's developers after completing a yearlong investigation requested by outraged members of Congress. The agreement would require the game to strictly adhere to ratings rules or face fines of $11,000 per violation.
That deal came under attack by Michigan Republican Fred Upton, who said it provided "no consequences" for developer Rockstar Games. "I would've liked to think they would be fined millions of dollars for the trash they put out across the country with the label they got," he said.
Lydia Parnes, director of the FTC's consumer protection bureau, said she understood those concerns, "but the fact is, simply, the commission does not have the statutory authority to impose civil penalties for Rockstar's conduct."
Upton said Congress may need to consider new laws to give the regulators heightened powers.
Illinois Democrat Jan Schakowsky said she was "especially concerned about those who, in their zeal to make a buck, make massive loopholes for those under 17 to get games rated 'Mature' or above." She said it's "easy as the click of the mouse to get mature-rated games from online stores like Wal-Mart."
Customers must check a box indicating they are older than 17 before being clear for online purchases of "Mature"-rated games, and the retailer doesn't sell "Adults-only" games, Wal-Mart Senior Vice President Gary Severson told the panel. When pressed by Schakowsky, he acknowledged that the check-box procedure is a "limitation of the Internet" and worth another look.
A couple of pending proposals in Congress would impose stiff fines on businesses that sold video games with a "Mature" or "Adults-only" rating to minors. But it's unclear how such bills will fare, as a handful of state and local laws criminalizing the sale of such games to minors have already been tossed out by courts as unconstitutional.
"For that reason, I believe self-regulation (by the video game industry) remains the best method in providing information to parents," said Rep. Tammy Baldwin, a Wisconsin Democrat.
Such self-policing will only be effective if the government forces the Entertainment Software Rating Board, the organization that rates the games, to make its review process more transparent and to submit new games to independent researchers for additional vetting, said Kimberly Thompson, a Harvard University professor who studies video game content. Her suggestions drew praise from Stearns.
Douglas Lowenstein, president of the Entertainment Software Association, which represents the video and computer game industry, cautioned politicians not to overreact, reminding them that 85 percent of the games sold last year were deemed appropriate for children under 17. "No rating system, no parental control system will work unless the parent is engaged," he said. "But if the parent wants to be involved, wants to be informed, the tools are there."

- Who will protect us from Government numbskulls?
- At what point did the Government decide that video games are more dangerous than hurricanes which have destroyed a city, or terrorists which have destroyed lives? This is just one more example of how out of touch our supposed "representatives" really are. Parents should be responsible for monitoring what our children have access to. As a parent I choose what my son sees and plays. I do not rely on a government full of people who cannot govern their own lives, much less the well-being of our country, to decide what my son will be exposed to.

- Elections Ploy
- This is simply an ploy for congressmen to get there name in the paper for being "against the corruption of our youth" through violent videogames. This is also an attempt to get on the good side of older voters and parents who may not be familiar with videogames, and scare them with talk of Grand Theft Auto and other games. If you actually look at the issue, video games has by far the best rating system out of any entertainment industry. If there needs to be more legislation on entertainment it should be violent movies first, as opposed to violent video games.

- Hypocrites
- These politicians are HYPOCRITES. If any one of them has read a fiction book or gone to a summer blockbuster movie, they are just as guilty as us gamers. Violence in movies and video games is an escape. Its the viewers chance to experience something they would not normally do in the real world or is too dangerous to actually do in the real world.
I agree with the other posters, this is election time grandstanding and needs to be categorized as such.
I've written my letters to my congressman, have you? Get on it!

- Deeper issue
- The entire enterainment industry (not just game developers) needs to take to heart the suggestion that violence in entertainment (whether it be active in a game or passive in a movie or song lyric) can cross the line from free speech to hate speech. We need to be asking ourselves WHY is it desirable to virtually experience "something they would not normally do in the real world" for some types of activities? One can reasonably argue there are some experiences that if you find them desirable, virtual or not, it probably indicates your personal moral/ethical compass is distinctly out of alignment. Persons with a strong religious grounding refer to these desires as "sins."
It is because the enterainment industry is not addressing this question itself that politicians are getting spooled up. I agree that heavy-handed government regulation is not a good answer. That said, I also believe producing an entertainment product of dubious character and stamping it "mature" is not a good answer either.

Jul 17, 2013 - By Andrea Novotny, Staff Writer
The Riverton grad has four pieces on display at Natural Health Solutions.
Lilly Iden Riter, who learned to paint at Riverton High School and Central Wyoming College, now works independently painting in Oregon. Her most recent piece, "Bison," is one of her four pieces displayed in Natural Health Solutions, 705 E. Fremont Ave., Riverton.
She was commissioned to paint each of the works by Dr. Walter Conard, who owns Natural Health Solutions.
She said she has been painting her entire life and has "never stopped painting." She calls painting her "zen."
"It's what I use to both reconnect with myself and escape," she said. "When I paint, I'm in my own world, and I like my own world."
Despite Iden Riter's little formal training, her art has been displayed in galleries and art shows around Wyoming as well as outside of the state.
"Bison" is done in the style of photorealism, a common style in Iden Riter's work. She said she likes the style because of the challenge it presents.
When painting photorealistic pieces, Iden Riter said she likes to work concurrently on other canvases and in different styles, such as abstract ex
Most of her commissioned pieces are portraits of people or animals, "But I do it all," she said.
"I don't think there is a style I haven't tried, nor is there a style I would shy away from," she said.
All of Iden Riter's work is done in acrylic paint.
Iden Riter said she returns to Wyoming every few months to work for Natural Health Solutions as a massage therapist.

Hogs' Friday game still on, for now
Posted: February 20, 2013 at 12:14 p.m.
FAYETTEVILLE Arkansas' baseball game against Evansville is still scheduled to be played at 3:05 p.m. Friday, Razorbacks coach Dave Van Horn said, though officials are closely watching a winter storm that began to move in Wednesday.
Van Horn said if field conditions are poor Friday, a doubleheader could be scheduled for either Saturday or Sunday. Forecasts call for partly sunny conditions Saturday with a high of 56 degrees, and sunny conditions Sunday with a high of 47.
Washington County is under a winter storm warning through Thursday. Moderate snow fell in Fayetteville early Wednesday and ice accumulation is expected overnight. The University of Arkansas closed at 2 p.m. and canceled all remaining classes Wednesday.
The Razorbacks were scheduled to play New Orleans on Wednesday afternoon, but pushed the second game up to Tuesday. Arkansas won both games in the doubleheader, 14-0 and 3-0.
Baseball isn't the only sport that could potentially be impacted by the winter weather. Arkansas' basketball team is scheduled to host Georgia on Thursday at 6 p.m. and the Southeastern Conference Indoor Track & Field Championships begin at Randal Tyson Track Center on Friday.

Forested 712-m-high Mount Camiguin occupies the SW tip of 22-km-long Camiguin Island in the Babuyan archipelago, north of Luzon Island. Following construction of an andesitic volcano during the Pliocene, the subsidiary cones of Minabul to the north and Caanoan to the east were constructed on the northern part of the island. The southern part of the island consists of three volcanic centers located along a SSE-NNW line, the andesitic Mount Camiguin stratovolcano and the young andesitic lava domes of Mt. Malabsing and Pamoctan. A phreatic eruption, possibly in part submarine, was reported from Camiguin de Babuyanes around 1857. Fumaroles are found on the SW, west, and east flanks of the volcano, and a boiling spring is located near sea level on the western flank of the volcano.

Originally written on Fox Sports Ohio | Last updated 12/11/12
NEW ORLEANS (AP) -- Former NFL Commissioner Paul Tagliabue has overturned the suspensions of four current and former New Orleans Saints players in the league's bounty investigation of the club. Tagliabue, however, found that the players' conduct was detrimental to the league. He says they participated in a performance pool that rewarded key plays -- including hard tackles -- that could justify fines. But the former commissioner said Tuesday that "this entire case has been contaminated by the coaches and others in the Saints' organization." Saints linebacker Jonathan Vilma initially had been suspended the whole season, while Saints defensive end Will Smith, Cleveland linebacker Scott Fujita and free agent defensive lineman Anthony Hargrove received shorter suspensions.

Read more: "The search for dark energy"
WE WILL be lonely in the late days of the cosmos. Its glittering vastness will slowly fade as countless galaxies retreat beyond the horizon of our vision. Tens of billions of years from now, only a dense huddle of nearby galaxies will be left, gazing out into otherwise blank space.
That gloomy future comes about because space is expanding ever faster, allowing far-off regions to slip across the boundary from which light has time to reach us. We call the author of these woes dark energy, but we are no nearer to discovering its identity. Might the culprit be a repulsive force that emerges from the energy of empty space, or perhaps a modification of gravity at the largest scales? Each option has its charms, but also profound problems.
But what if that mysterious force making off with the ...

Is there a better Baltimore corner bar (actually located on a corner) than Kisling's Tavern? It's the type of bar Baltimoreans will always love — unassuming, no frills, just delicious, greasy bar food and an ample beer selection.
Walk into the Canton spot on any given night and you'll likely see a mix of social sports league teams, old-time regulars and satisfied chicken-wing lovers. Kisling's takes its wings seriously, offering more than a dozen flavors, ranging from Asian Ginger to Honey Dijon. But first-timers should start with the original flavor (discounted to $7.99 on Sundays after 5 p.m.), arguably the best wings in the city.

Below is the poem entitled Magnolia which was written by poet
vaso. Please feel free to comment on this poem. However, please remember, PoetrySoup is a place of encouragement and growth.
Read Poems by
Arthur Vaso
You whispered good morning
Late within your voyage, where fate blinded us
Your neck is covered in crosses
Devotion to the hereafter
Where you know one day
We shall meet
Gothic black, veiled for your special day
When pleasure and pain shall join us
In a soft summer breeze
As we caress in the graveyards' playground
Black roses blowing in the wind
Pearls from deep below, I bury with you
Mardi gras in the south of France
Behind our masks we massaged our facades
We were entwined in passions embrace
Yet we never once met
Until red lipstick ran down your face
The tears fell upon lost yearnings
Magnolia's bloomed

Windows Phone 8 In Images
Article Comments 10
Jun 20, 2012, 3:27 PM by Eric M. Zeman @phonescooper
Microsoft's Windows Phone 8 platform marks a significant change for Microsoft's mobile strategy. It ties Windows Phone 8 together with its desktop and tablet platforms for a broad ecosystem play that should help Microsoft's mobile ambitions grow by leaps and bounds.
Windows Phone 8 is the latest step in a years-long effort by Microsoft to unify its desktop, laptop, tablet, and smartphone platforms. The new operating system shares its core with Windows 8, which simplifies the story Microsoft needs to sell to developers, who are needed to support the platform and help it thrive.
Beyond just updating the core, Microsoft added long overdue support for new hardware parameters, a new Start screen, NFC and mobile payments, better multitasking, the desktop version of Internet Explorer 10, and a wide number of under-the-hood changes that should please developers.
Here are some images we captured of the new operating system during today's keynote. Microsoft played the new platform close to the chest, and wasn't allowing any sort of hands-on. We were able to look at the Start screen of a Lumia 900 running WP7.8, though. This is as close as anyone got to a "hands-on" at the event.

Scholars win research awards, Toro gives keynote
Eighteen students from UALR attended the 2014 Arkansas Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation Spring Research Conference, held April 11-12 in Little Rock.
The UALR students presented six posters, more than any other Arkansas university, with junior Victoria Dawson bringing home a first-place award for her research focused on peanut allergic responses.
Senior Bukola Odeniyi earned a third-place award for her research on the effects of microgravity on mammalian cells.
UALR Executive Vice Chancellor and Provost Zulma Toro, who has a background in engineering and is originally from Puerto Rico, provided the keynote address during Saturday's banquet.
Dr. Toro discussed her career path, and she provided advice for minority students considering professions in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics).
Senior Dolapo Odeniyi, who won a first-place award at the Emerging Researchers National Conference earlier this year in Washington, was invited to give an oral presentation on how enzymes affect immunity and development in tomato plants.
Twin sisters Dolapo and Bukola Odeniyi were invited to discuss guidelines and their tips for getting accepted into a university M.D./Ph.D. program. Junior Jeffrey Jones was invited to discuss transitioning from a two-year college to a university.
Other UALR students who presented posters at the conference include Autumn Brown, Lafayette DeRamus, Jeffrey Jones, and Taylor McClanahan.
Drs. Jim Winter and Janet Lanza and Student Support Specialist Erin Cates attended the conference with the students.

He is regularly asked to opine about Sports Law-related matters on television, online and in newspapers.

[Sports law] is largely an amalgam of interrelated legal disciplines involving such areas as contract, taxation, employment, competition and criminal law but dedicated legislation and case law has developed and will continue to do so. As an area of academic study and extensive practitioner involvement, the time is right to accept that a new legal area has been born—sports law.—Professor Simon Gardiner
It takes an experienced, knowledgeable and well-versed practitioner to be able to handle the wide array of Sports Law matters that may exist. We not only take on lawsuits in this realm, but also dedicate a large chunk of our practice to transacational matters, which include drafting, revising and negotiating of performance and endorsement contracts, promissory notes, appearance deals, autograph signings, life rights grants, etc.
Litigation in the world of sports also varies from the typical practice of law. The vast majority of disputes are governed by mandatory arbitration proceedings, oftentimes required pursuant to regulations created by players' associations or collective bargaining agreements. We are well versed with all of the major players' associations regulations governing agents, collective bargaining agreements entered into between players and owners, and nuances in the laws that affect athletes, agents, and other professionals in the sports industry.

Eventhough there have been times Lindsay Lohan's relationship with her parents strained, but she still loves her parents and does not think they took advantage of her.
She told Oprah Winfrey, "I don't think anything was intentionally done in that way. I hate what a bad rap people give my parents. Because they are just parents, really, at the end of the day trying to stand up for their daughter and themselves."
"Nobody's perfect. I love my parents. And I'm not going to say that certain situation, I would have preferred to have been handled differently. Certain things I would have preferred to have been kept within my family, in private. But that's in the past."

Tiger 955i - Your Opinions
I rode the 885 Tiger last year in a test ride and was quite taken with in. Almost bought it, but a deal on a Sprint ST came up which I couldn't resist. Still have a desire for a big trallie big and the Tiger, and am considering changing the Sprint ST for the new 955i Tiger. Very interested to hear what the new 955i version is like.
I've read that Triumph have done some changes to quieten the engine down and cure it of some of the rattles in the Tiger 955i.
Whats the views/opinions from those that own one ?
I don't own one but I've been up test-riding it twice. It's very quiet but somehow has a very sexy audio tone, at least to my ear. Not much mechanical noise at all. And it's bloody smooth and very fun to ride. Lots of power.
You'd better go ride one and report back.
Had my Tigger 955i for 2 months so far.
Latest opinions are:
Torque, torque and more torque
Quiet (relocated starter and starter clutch now disengages)
Footpegs down on every corner
Brilliant suspenders for the shite UK roads
Loads of carrying capacity
Excellent pillion seat (from recent backseat reports)
Centre stand fell off when the mounting bolt disappeared.
Dropped it on the LHS when I left the disk lock on (DOH!)
Gear lever now in MUCH better position
Needs the crash bars from Jack Lilleys
Replaced the clutch lever with one from a T595 (adjustable) with a little modification of the hand guard
Scottoiler is a MUST !
3,500 miles and counting
Bloody marvellous bike.

So the remaining question is how well it will hold up over the long-term. When I read about how much trouble Dag Jensen has had with his (olde) Tiger in his world travels, I shuddered.
But I read one of his earlier installments and somehow he got saltwater in the engine due to improper shipping. http://www.mpz.co.uk/cwm/contrib/bla...ll_coholic.gif Ack. That might do it for any engine.
Once upon a time I ran across a site that did an expose' on a Triumph 955 engine with 100,000 miles and the internals showed no wear. But I can't find it on the web anymore.
Mmmmmm - all sounds good so far for the 955i. Its top in the ratings for my next bike I think. Another test ride is in order plus an operation to extend the legs to make me 6ft.
What's the story regards luggage. I know GIVI does an adapter to allow you to fit a top box, but is there a kit to allow you to fit panniers ?
The Tiger 955 luggage system
Triumph have put out, in cahoots with Givi, a full on pannier system.
The problem is not one of them does an after market system specifically for the Tiger after 2000. It's either the Genuine system or nout. I reckon the cost is too mcuh and I'm worried about damaging those cute little panniers off road.
So I set about getting a custom made set. Here goes, for a fraction of the price I had made, two extensions on either side which attached to existing holes and fixtures.
One fixing point was the Rear Footpegs, another being the mid seat bolt hole, which is there for that purpose and the other, after a small incision on the rear seat frame. It takes about 5mins pers side to put on and/or take off.
I got some fixing mushroom lugs and a locking clip from Givi. If you want pictures I can organise it. Also I bought a top plate to fix to the existing rack, atop is a Givi pannier. The total cost in Australian dollars is around AUS$1400 $1000 short of the Triumph quote.
What to do about wind protection? I've heard it's one of the downsides to the Tiger (as it is with the GS).
New Tiger 955i
Great engine , not as butch looking as my steamer
Have a 955i for 2 months now, traded in my '99 ZX-6R fot it.
Fitted a GIVI topbox and took it to Germany to get proper rided-in.
So far done 5500KM with it and sufferd from 2 problems and have 1 improvement action planned.
- Oil leak at front sprocket (it's English isn't it?)
- non starter as a result of a defect (all control lights OK, engine turned but no sparks)
Improvement to be made:
- bigger or smaller screen, the standard makes a hell of a noise.
For the rest it's a fine bike, a ride it to work every day (600KM a week) and taking it to the Pyreneeën (F) for a 3000KM ride next month.
International views and opinions - this is excellent !
Wind protection
The standard screen creates a huge amount of buffet from the trailing (top) edge. This hits me squarly in the middle of the visor and the wind roar, noise and movement make it bloody unconomfortable. Thus that had been removed. This leave me with the buffet off the top of the front fairing in the chest, which is no problem up to 100mph then it starts to become a bit of a pain, especially after 100 odd miles. I am looking out for a double bubble type screen as these actually leave a smooth airflow off the top of the screen instead of an unstable vortex of buffeting air.
Looking through my Essential Superbike on the Tiger, I see that ERMAX make a high screen for the bike.
955i windscreen
A friend has a 955i with the sportscreen mounted. Definatly better than the original, if you are as short as me (180cm or 6ft). The weather protection is of course not improved but it is nice and more silent to sit in the wind. Looks better too. More like the beautyful "pre-99" Tiger i ride..
The new Tiger is much easier to ride and do wheelies with than my old one, not only because of the more power but also the lower centre of gravity..
picture 955i with sportscreen
1 Attachment(s)
If this works you´ll see one picture with the sportscreened Tiger 955i together with a Honda AfricaTwin and my Tiger..
GIVI for Tigers
I have a 2001 955i Tiger and as of about a month ago, GIVI does make a tubular rack system for their excellent panniers. Ask for the PL 725 rack. As with all their stuff, the fit is great and absolutely solid.

Each year, the school Annual Report communicates progress and standing on numerous topics. Some of the items contained in the reports range from an overview of the Michigan Educational Assessment Program (MEAP) tests, to student activities and details of significant parent and community involvement. The yearly publications provide a means to share the vision and outstanding achievements at each one of our District's schools.
The Michigan Educational Assessment Program (MEAP) tests were developed for the purpose of determining what students know and what students are able to do, as compared to these standards, at key checkpoints during their academic career. Hundreds of educators from throughout Michigan continue to be involved in the development and ongoing improvement of these tests.
In August 2011, the Michigan Department of Education released a list of Michigan schools, ranked "top to bottom." This annual ranking is required by federal law in order for states to receive federal education dollars. This is the second year of the requirement. The rankings are based on the following:
• Student achievement.
• Student improvement.
• Achievement gaps between students.
• Graduation rate (high schools only).
The ranking number of each school represents "percentile rank." A percentile rank depicts the percent of schools that lie below and above a particular school. For instance, if the percentile ranking for a school is 80 percent, that means that 80 percent of the schools on the list rank below it and 20 percent rank above it. Here are P-CCS rankings:
Allen - 83%
Bentley - 91%
Bird - 97%
Canton High School - 86%
Central Middle School - 70%
Discovery Middle School - 91%
Dodson - 85%

Newcastle striker Shola Ameobi admits matching last season's top-five finish would be the biggest achievement of his career on Tyneside.
The Magpies will head into the new campaign having created a new expectation following their remarkable and largely unheralded surge into the upper reaches of the Barclays Premier League.
But Ameobi, who has played Champions League football and suffered the pain of relegation during his time at St James' Park, knows repeating the feat will be a tough challenge. The 30-year-old told the Journal: "It's certainly going to be really difficult to replicate what we did last season."

i like the idea of using a broiler instead of frying in a pan with a lot of butter. next time, i'll stick with 1000 dressing instead of the mayo/chili sauce combo. otherwise, an easy sandwich.
we really liked these. I did use thousand Island dressing for the sauce though.
Delicious!Instead of sauerkraut,we used a jar of sweet-sour red cabbage,and spray butter on outside of sandwich before broiling. Definetly a keeper!

McDonnell asks schools to limit tuition hikes
April 18, 2013 - 02:00 pm
Decrease Increase Text size
RICHMOND, Va. (AP) - Gov. Bob McDonnell is asking Virginia's public universities and colleges to limit in-state tuition and fee increases for the fall semester.
McDonnell's office on Thursday released an April 4 letter that he sent to school presidents and boards making the request.
In the letter, McDonnell asks that tuition increases voluntarily be held to the Consumer Price Index's annual increase.
He says he's concerned about the affordability of a college education for young Virginia residents, despite additional state funding for higher education over the past three years.

"Rivane Neuenschwander: A Day Like Any Other" is the big summer show opening at the Miami Art Museum, a Knight Arts grantee, this week (following the big summer show at Museum of Contemporary Art of Ryan Trecartin, posted previously). It is coming direct from the New Museum in New York and is the first mid-career survey of the Brazilian conceptualist.
The biggest elements here will be three interactive installations, which seem to be at the heart of the exhibition. One, called "Rain Rains," involves numerous aluminum buckets. The ones hanging from the ceiling will drip water into buckets on the floor below them, emptying after four hours, after which the process beings again with the aid of helpers. In the colorful "I Wish Your Wish," visitors will be encouraged to take one of the many ribbons attached to the walls with wishes written on them and tie them to their wrists. In return, they will write another wish and tack it back to the wall. There is clearly a theme of continuum here. "First Love" employs a police sketch artist, who will be sitting at a table and drawing portraits of a visitor's first love. Those will then hang in the gallery for the rest of the exhibit.
But even her videos are interactive, involving "conversations" and influences from a variety of artists and everyday encounters (one interacts with a bar and its napkins). "A Day Like Any Other" covers work made throughout a decade and also includes photography and sculpture. And almost all continue with a recycling thread — motifs repeat with regularity, including mapping, measuring, trading and categorization. It should be a good fit with the Miami Art Museum.
"Rivane Neuenschwander: A Day Like Any Other" opens July 17 and will run through Oct. 16 at 101 W. Flagler St., downtown; 305-375-3000; www.miamiartmuseum.org.

Daredevil Nik Wallenda still owes Niagara Falls $25,000?
A daredevil who conquered an amazing stunt over Niagara Falls in May could owe the City of Niagara Falls $25,000, according to a Wednesday report.
Nik Wallenda made history with a U.S.-to-Canada walk on a cable strung over the falls. The event was shown live on ABC15.
The event was a huge spectacle for the area, but now they want him to dish up $25,000, according to wkbw.com.
The Niagara Falls Mayor says Wallenda owes that much to cover the city's police and fire overtime costs.
The city council did vote to forgive Wallenda of the costs, but it's not that easy.
The council reportedly didn't establish the fee and might not have the power to rescind it. Read more.
What do you think? Should Wallenda have to foot the bill? Or should Niagara Falls just pay?
