Madison - Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen and State Senator Dan Kapanke met today with local legislators, law enforcement leaders, and judicial personnel. Law enforcement leaders came from throughout Western Wisconsin to attend the roundtable, including public safety officials from Richland, Crawford, Monroe, Vernon, and La Crosse Counties. The topics of discussion at the roundtable included the role of Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) in the judicial system, alternatives to incarceration, funding for the Department of Justice's multi-jurisdictional enforcement groups, and concealed carry permission for retired law enforcement officers.
"I am grateful to Senator Kapanke for his efforts to organize this roundtable and his invitation for me to participate," Van Hollen said. "Today we had an opportunity to discuss matters of regional and statewide concern. I was able to listen to local law enforcement and judicial leaders to assess how the Department of Justice can be of further assistance to address the concerns identified here. This was also an opportunity for me to thank local leaders and members of the Legislature for their work on behalf of the Department of Justice's agenda to fight crime and restore integrity."
Senator Kapanke said, "This has been a great privilege, as your Senator, the opportunity to bring together Western Wisconsin law enforcement leaders with Wisconsin's ˜Top Cop,' the Attorney General. It is essential that we have open lines of communication and the ability to discuss these important issues."
Van Hollen praised the Senators efforts and thanked those who attended. "This is a great example of how Wisconsin communities can work together with statewide officials, and I am pleased with the level of collaboration and cooperation we saw here today," Van Hollen said.

The best part about digital photography is the fact that it no longer costs a fortune in film and processing to take the thousands of images you need to experiment and learn the art of photography. A few years ago I took a cruise down south and spent over $1000 on pro slide film and processing. For that amount now, you can buy a decent SLR camera with two lenses, a few cards and take as many pictures as you want!
The sad fact of digital imaging that most people forget (until it happens to you) is that with one computer hard drive crash you can lose years upon years of precious memories.
You need a backup plan.
With all the nice aspects of digital photography, the one benefit of negatives and slides is you could throw them in a drawer and forget about them....until your kids find them years later and make fun you.
Making Copies
Currently the most economical method for backing up large amounts of data is an external hard drive, which costs roughly $100 for terabyte of space. Burnable DVD's and CD's are okay if you are a casual shooter, just get in the habit of burning two copies, in case one fails (go ahead, get one wet or leave it in the sun and see what I am talking about, they are not a very permanent media!).
Hard drives being relatively cheap, I always make sure I always have two copies of everything from the moment I transfer my files to the computer.
I have dual hard drive system in the computer that automatically make copies of themselves (or RAID for the computer geeks in the crowd). I will go through everything and make sure to delete obvious mistakes and bad photos, as there is no need to keep them, let alone letting them take up space in your backup system.
I tend to sort and name all photos in folders by date and there are some great software packages out there for managing your images and cutting out the amount of time you actually have to sit in front of a screen (Adobe Photoshop Lightroom being my personal fav, but that's for another column....).
Once a month, or when the drives are getting full, I move everything off the main computer as multiple copies on separate external drives. If you have a safety deposit box, consider storing a copy of everything offsite. In the event of fire or flooding you will still have your images. Even if you don't have a safety deposit, consider teaming up with another photographer and store you backups at each others houses.
Get your head in the clouds
Another interesting idea that is becoming popular lately is "cloud" or internet storage of your files. You upload your data to the internet, pay someone and let them worry about backing up your data. Let them buy the big fancy storage arrays and spend some more time shooting. There a few different services, Amazon S3, Smugmug and Carbonite to name a few. Some even let you specify a folder and the service will automatically scan that folder and backup any new data that you have added. If having your photos on someone else's machine doesn't bother you, this might be a good option, especially for offsite backup.
Go big or go home
If you shoot a lot of photos and videos, you are going to want to upgrade pretty quickly from just standard one terabyte external drives, each with a connection cord and power supply to something larger, but maybe not as large as owning your own server. Enter Drobo.
Drobo is an external enclosure that hold multiple external drives (four or more) in one sleek looking unit. It automatically makes duplicate copies of all your data across multiple drives, so that if one fails, you simply pop in a new drive and you are good to go. If you fill up the Drobo, you simply swap out one or more drives with a larger drive and you automatically have more space. It doesn't help you much if you want to have an offsite backup, but it is a pretty powerful all in one backup solution.
As with all technology, all the above solutions will probably be outdated in a year or two, so you have to make sure to keep up with new technology as it emerges and migrate your data forward. Don't think your whole image collection could end up useless? Two words: Eight Tracks.

My dissertation research explores the public's perception of water governance organizations at different spatial scales (local and regional) across two states, Nebraska and Washington. In order to measure public perception, I designed and implemented, along with colleagues Dr. Don A. Dillman (of WSU and the SESRC) and Dr. Jolene D. Smyth (of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln), a large-scale general public household survey using both web and mail modes and address-based sampling. In addition, this study included a methodological experiment testing the effects of local (within state) and distant (out of state) university sponsorship on survey response rates.

Yarmouth boys' lax fights off Falmouth's upset bid, 8-6
YARMOUTH—If next month's state championship games are anywhere near as compelling as Friday night's Falmouth at Yarmouth boys' lacrosse showdown, fans of the sport will be in for a treat.
Amid a playoff atmosphere, the two-time defending Class B state champion Clippers managed to extend their win streak to 29 games and their mind-boggling home string to 70 consecutive victories by holding off the Yachtsmen, 8-6.
But this one didn't come easily.
Yarmouth fell behind 3-0 less than six minutes in, then, after scoring six straight goals and holding Falmouth scoreless for nearly 33 minutes, the Clippers found themselves tied and on the ropes with time winding down, but a man-up goal from standout senior Steven Petrovek with 1:31 to play and an insurance tally from classmate Even Henry 37 seconds later allowed them to earn yet another victory, their ninth in a row this spring, which dropped the Yachtsmen to 7-2.
"We were lucky to come out with a win," said Yarmouth's senior goalie Cam Woodworth. "(Falmouth) made some good plays, then we adjusted defensively and settled down and made the plays we had to. We're a veteran team. Our seniors and everyone have grown this season. We're not uncomfortable being tied or playing down a goal."
"I'm proud of our kids," added Clippers coach Craig Curry. "We've been in these wars. We understand what it takes. They were trying to put a statement out and so were we. I think the statement is it will be a great game anytime we play them."
Part two of three?
A year ago, these teams weren't even close to being on equal ground. Last May, Yarmouth went to Falmouth and cruised, 18-5, en route to the championship (a 12-9 victory over Cape Elizabeth).
The Yachtsmen made great strides a year ago, however, reaching the regional final for the first time (before falling, 11-7, at Cape Elizabeth), and this year have risen to the occasion time and again.
Falmouth opened with a shockingly easy 11-4 triumph at the Capers, the Yachtsmen's first victory ever over the state's most storied program. After crushing host Waynflete, 18-9, Falmouth hosted Yarmouth on April 30 and hung tough for 48 minutes, but lost, 7-4. The Yachtsmen responded and won five straight, 12-9, at North Yarmouth Academy, 4-3, at home over Scarborough, 18-3, over visiting York, 10-7, at Brunswick and 9-7, at home over Cape Elizabeth Tuesday.
The Clippers, meanwhile, have been rarely tested to date. After opening with an 11-5 home win over North Yarmouth Academy, Yarmouth won at York (17-3) and Falmouth, held off visiting Cape Elizabeth, 8-6, dominated Brunswick, 13-6, and Waynflete, 14-2, enjoyed a 13-2 triumph at Cheverus, and won at NYA for the first time since 2005 with a decisive 19-1 triumph Tuesday.
The Yachtsmen entered Friday night's game seeking their first ever win over the Clippers. They're still searching, but came mighty close.
Falmouth got off to a sizzling start when, after sophomore Abyn Reaby-Gerwig won the opening faceoff, senior standout Dan Hanley took a pass from sophomore Mitch Tapley and beat Woodworth for a 1-0 lead.
Just over a minute later, senior Chris Janelle scored unassisted and with 6:34 to go in the opening quarter, Hanley scored an unassisted goal to make it 3-0 Yachtsmen.
"(Falmouth) won those first faceoffs and ground balls," Petrovek said. "Their offense did a great job and they got three quick goals."
"(Falmouth) had a lot of possessions and did some nice things on offense," Curry said. "We were a little lethargic."
Little did Falmouth know that it wouldn't score again until well into the fourth quarter.
Momentum turned Yarmouth's way on a fluke play 17 seconds later. The Yachtsmen appeared to have won the faceoff, but the ball was flicked back toward the Falmouth goal where Petrovek grabbed it and raced in alone on helpless Yachtsmen sophomore goalie Cam Bell, whom he beat to get his team on the board.
Just 41 seconds later, Petrovek scored unassisted again, this time after a pretty individual move. When Henry scored unassisted with 4:40 to play in the opening stanza, the Clippers had erased their early deficit and drew even, 3-3.
"That fluky first goal they got, I think threw us off a little bit," said Falmouth coach Mike LeBel. "We were on a roll, but that gave them a little momentum. They fed off that and kept rolling and we couldn't cover for a long while."
Just 1 minute, 2 seconds into the second quarter, the hosts went ahead, 4-3, when senior Mike Johnson scored unassisted. With 4:31 to go before halftime, in transition, junior Matt Murphy set up classmate Kyle Groves for a goal and a 5-3 lead at the break.
In the first half, the Yachtsmen won six of nine faceoffs and 28 of 48 ground balls, but were outshot 20-11 and done in by 11 turnovers.
The third period was scoreless, but both teams had opportunities. Midway through, Hanley got a good look with his team playing man-up, but it was denied by Woodworth. With 3:20 left in the quarter, Henry's shot hit the post. A minute later, Hanley got another good look in close, but Woodworth stymied him again.
When Henry scored unassisted 1 minute, 56 seconds into the final period, ending an 18 minute, 27 scoring drought, Yarmouth had a 6-3 lead and appeared on the verge of locking up the victory, but Falmouth embarked on another flurry to make things very interesting.
With 9:48 remaining, senior Kyle Lucas raced in off a faceoff win and beat Woodworth to end a 32 minute, 46 second drought and make it 6-4. Two minutes later, after junior Nick Bachman hit the post, Janelle set up sophomore Jack Cooleen for a goal which cut the deficit to one.
The Yachtsmen would tie the game with 5:28 to play in regulation. Just seconds after a Bachman bid was denied, freshman Will Sipperly grabbed a ground ball in front of the Yarmouth goal and beat Woodworth to make it 6-6.
But with the game on the line, the Clippers, as they always seem to do, managed to make the plays down the stretch.
Falmouth had a golden opportunity to take the lead when Yarmouth was called for an off-sides penalty with 3:30 to play, but the Clippers were able to kill it. A minute later, the Yachtsmen were flagged for a slash and Yarmouth would take advantage.
With 1:31 to go, Petrovek took a pass from senior Colby Shields and unleashed a rocket that Bell couldn't stop. It tickled the twine and the Clippers had the lead for good, 7-6.
"It was a play to set me up and I was able to finish," Petrovek said.
"There are certain kids on your team every year and he's one of those kids you want to have the ball," Curry said. "You want seniors to step up."
"You just can't get a penalty in a 6-6 game," LeBel lamented. "You can't go in the box with two minutes left and expect to come out on top. Something bad is going to happen. It was a very well-placed shot. The only place it could have gone in. At least it wasn't a fluke shot. It was a good goal."
After a faceoff win, Henry scored unassisted with 54.2 seconds remaining and that brought the curtain down on Yarmouth's hard-fought 8-6 victory.
"We both came out firing, then both teams settled down," Woodworth said. "Both defenses played well and both offenses got in a rut. It wasn't the cleanest game. We're comfortable here. We never doubted ourselves for a second. Everyone trusts each other."
"That fourth quarter push was a little scary, but we were able to counter," Petrovek said. "It helps being in state championship games and knowing that the other team will come back and that we have to live with it and counter."
Petrovek and Henry each had three goals for the Clippers. Groves and Johnson added one apiece. Murphy and Shields both had assists. Woodworth made six saves.
Yarmouth wound up with a 39-22 edge in shots (16-12 in shots on goal) and won 37 ground balls. Sophomore Sam Torres led the way with seven, while Shields had six. The Clippers forced 20 turnovers and only gave the ball away 16 times.
"We were able to get our possessions and goals," Petrovek said. "They locked off Evan Henry which threw us off a little bit. We were a little sloppy, but they played good team defense and their goalie had some key saves."
"Our offense got possessions and we can control the ball as well as any team in the state," Woodworth said. "Falmouth's definitely a solid team. All the respect in the world to them."
The Yachtsmen were led offensively by two goals from Hanley. Cooleen, Janelle, Lucas and Sipperly all scored once. Janelle and Tapley had assists, while Bell made eight saves. Sophomore Mike Ryan had a team-high seven ground balls. Bachman finished with six. Reaby-Gerwig won 10 of 17 faceoffs.
"Offensively, it could have been a little better," LeBel said. "Defensively, you couldn't ask for a better performance against that offense. I think (senior) Tom Caswell did the best job a defenseman has done on Petrovek, who is probably the best offensive player in the state of Maine this year. He's not necessarily our best defender, but we thought he was the best defenseman on Petrovek, so we tried it out and he did alright.
"I think the key for us was playing good team defense. They had the ball a lot. We were on defense a lot. I think it was a combination of their pressure defense and we made some mental mistakes and threw the ball away when we didn't have a ton of pressure on us.
"We went into this game very relaxed with no pressure. We treated it as a summer league game where we would experiment with some things and work different matchups. We learned quite a bit. We weren't concerned with coming out with a win. It was awesome, a lot of fun. Someone has to lose. I wouldn't have wanted it any other way, other than us winning. It was a great experience for the kids. We almost came out on top."
The streak lives
Yarmouth hasn't lost at home since May 24, 2002 (15-6 to Cape Elizabeth). Curry chose not to comment on the streak, but the players, especially the seniors, are well aware of the history and significance.
"We know about (the streak) and keep it hush-hush, but we definitely don't like losing here," Petrovek said.
The Clippers have one regular season home game remaining in 2010 and likely a pair of playoff games as well. After playing at Freeport Friday and going to Cape Elizabeth May 28, they close the regular season on Senior Night against visiting Greely, June 1.
Believe it or not, but Yarmouth still feels it has room to improve.
"We're here to play the next game," Curry said. "Cape will be a big one. I feel like we're getting close. I feel really good about the players and where we're going as a team. If we continue to improve, I feel we'll separate (from the other teams in the league)."
Falmouth is back in action Tuesday, at home versus Wells. The Yachtsmen end the regular season Thursday of next week at home against Fryeburg.
Falmouth is oh so close to becoming the best team in the state.
"I think we have a lot of offensive potential," LeBel said. "We just haven't really clicked in the big games. We have to get everybody on the same page offensively. We're finally starting to get everybody healthy. We need to find an offense that really works for the talent we have."
Mark your calendar
If Falmouth and Yarmouth meet again this spring it will be June 19 in the Class B state final. While the Clippers appear to be a shoo-in to make it to Fitzpatrick Stadium, the Yachtsmen will have to find a way to beat Cape Elizabeth for a third time in the playoffs.
Falmouth and Yarmouth is the matchup that most want to see.
"We might see them again," Woodworth said. "If we do, we'll be ready and so will they."
"They've come a long way the last couple years," Petrovek said. "It would be fun to see them a third time."

Gear Review
I narrowed down my jacket search to this jacket and the Sessions MVP. I wound up sending this one back, but certainly not because I felt the jacket was lacking, but more because I liked the fit of the Sessions jacket a bit better. I'm 6'1 195 lbs, and the L was probably the right size for me (I could MAYBE go down to M, but I'm not sure if the arm length would be right in that case). The chronic color is pretty sick, and the jacket has some pretty awesome features and tons of pockets. I only docked it a star because the location of the pass pocket is kind of silly (inside the jacket around the waist/hips instead of on the arm or in the lapel) and because it would also be nice to have some headphone guides like the Sessions jacket has. So, to sum it up, if you like a bit baggier of a fit, go with this jacket and you won't be disappointed.

no need to be so angry, its not a test.. but it is something very important so they should take their time and fill in the ballots... I took my time when i voted for Ron Sparks this morning..
We definitely don't need to see Bentley in office, it would be another 4 years of Riley and we don't need to make that mistake.. Get out and Vote for Sparks!
I got out bright and early to cast my vote for Sparks!
I feel bad that they had to go to two places, but it's awesome to see that people want to make a change in our state and they didn't let it inconvenience them and still voted! I do hope that they voted for Sparks he's the one we need to see in office..
all i know is I Voted for Sparks and I hope alot of other people did too, he really is going to change our state for the good and get us out of the mess Riley left us in....
there are no pictures, because we all went on our own free will to vote for Sparks. Because Sparks is a way better choice then Bentley is...
Trust me I got out early this morning and cast my vote for Mr. Sparks! he's the best choice to be our next governor...
Continue the fight Sparks! we all want to see you in office..
I like bingo so what? What do you have against bingo that makes you hate it so much? I don't care if you call me a bingo.bot you are a Anti bingo.bot. its a free country, you can call me whatever you want.. we won't ever agree on anything 5points and that's fine with me, but i won't hate you for that..lol... but I'm still Voting for Sparks tomorrow! Because in the end I think he's the one who really is going to help this state out..
get real Elmoq369, just because someone wants to vote for Sparks you think they are a bingo bot... I'm voting for Sparks tomorrow because he's a better candidate then Bentley does that make me one too?
Keep up the great work Sparks! we all appreciate the fact that you want good things for the kids in our state, everyone deserves a chance to go to college.. I will definitely be voting for you tomorrow!
Your Just a conspiracy theorist, the NWO is a Conspiracy.... I'm Voting for Sparks tomorrow
"There are evil forces out there that are trying to change things, or trying to keep us from changing things, I really should say," he added.
No Bentley we do not want another liar in office. No one is making up lies about you it was proven. The only thing we would like to change is making sure we do not have another Riley in office.
who really knows how much Bentley has. I just don't want to have someone like him in office who continues to be so shady. Everyone needs to get out and vote on Nov. 2 for Ron Sparks, we need to see a good man take office and help our state out...
I have yet to see anything worth wild from Bentley.. Sparks continues to impress me with plan after plan to move our state in a great direction, he will definitely be getting my vote on Tuesday.
we all understand how important next Tuesday is. We need to get Sparks into office so we can get our state back on the right track and get things moving forward once again.. We can't afford to have someone like Bentley in office who continues to hide his lies, it would be like voting for another Riley... Vote Sparks so we can look forward to something good!
Integrity is on my mind when i think about voting, that's why i'm voting for Sparks a man with Integrity... Bentley is the last person i want to see in office..
Bentley has continued to do things that make people question his motives, do we really want someone like that in office? I don't think so, we need someone who is going to move our state forward and get us out of this mess that Riley put us in. I think its pretty obvious that the someone is Ron Sparks, he is the one with all the plans for our great state. Let's Go Sparks!
Bentley really thinks Evil forces are trying to change things? Wake up Mr. Bentley the only thing changing things are all those lies you told, you tell us to go vote for you but its not gonna happen.. I'm voting for Ron Sparks he is a way better candidate for the Job... Vote Sparks!
I am interested in what you said about taxes Mr. Bentley. you said you won't create any new taxes if you are elected Governor, but you do favor a "Streamlined Sales Tax" that would raise taxes on us by as much as a billion dollars... Why do you continue to say one thing and then do something completely Different?

This seminar will focus on three sports: swimming, cycling and running. There will be two components to the seminar: classroom sessions and a "laboratory" in the form of a structured training program. The classroom component will introduce the students to the chemistry of their own biological system. With swimming, running and cycling as sample sports, students are encouraged to apply their knowledge to complete a triathlon shortly after the term.

Surabaya. Indonesia should take a leaf out of China's book and
introduce the death penalty for corruption, Constitutional Court chief
Mahfud MD said over the weekend.
"The death penalty is possible if there's danger. China has been implementing it and the people are satisfied," he said.
who has long supported the death penalty for graft, was speaking on
Saturday at Dr Soetomo University in Surabaya, just days after
disgraced former diplomat Sjahril Djohan was jailed for just 18 months
for channeling bribes to a National Police general.
highest sentence handed down is 20 years," Mahfud said. "It was
received by a former prosecutor named Urip. Others have received just
one to four years."
He was referring to senior prosecutor Urip
Tri Gunawan, who was caught taking $660,000 from businesswoman Artalyta
Suryani and sentenced in 2008.
Mahfud said the death penalty would be an effective deterrent.
He said rejection of the death penalty on human rights grounds was just one way of looking at it.
fact is that it has gone down well in China and has never been
protested by her people. In China it has reduced corruption cases,"
Mahfud said.
The debate over the use of the death penalty to
fight corruption last ignited in April at the height of the Bank
Century controversy.
The amended 1999 Anti-Corruption Law
introduced capital punishment for corruption committed under special
circumstances, including during an economic or monetary crisis, an
emergency, a national disaster or in the aftermath of rioting on a
national scale.
Justice and Human Rights Minister Patrialis
Akbar has said that no corruption case had been proven to have taken
place when the state was in crisis. But Prosperous Justice Party (PKS)
lawmaker Andi Rachmat had said the main instigators of the Bank Century
bailout could face capital punishment because it had come at the height
of the economic crisis, in November 2008.
The bank was rescued
on orders from Vice President Boediono, then central bank governor, and
then Finance Minister Sri Mulyani Indrawati, who said the bailout was
necessary to prevent a systemic threat to the banking system.
Of about 100 inmates on death row, all were convicted of murder, drug trafficking or terrorism.
Transparency International ranked Indonesia 111 out of 180 countries in a corruption survey last year.
Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, a liberal ex-general who first came to power
in 2004, was re-elected last year on a pledge to root out corruption,
which permeates every sector of public life, from the courts to the
customs office.
The International Monetary Fund said last
month that Indonesia must make fighting corruption a top priority if it
wants to build on its progress as one of the world's best-performing

There are super fans, and then there are super crazy fans.
This Venezuelan man is one of the latter.
Henry Damon had his nose chipped off along with several other surgeries to make him look more like the villain Red Skull from Captain America.
"He has loved comic books since he was a kid and always dreamed of being Red Skull, but never got round to doing it," said one of his friends.
Damon now goes by the name "Red Skull" and in addition to the nose removal, he also had his eyeballs tattooed black, his face tattooed red and black and subdermal lumps added to his forehead.
His next step is to get silicone implants on the cheekbones, chin and cheeks and dye his entire face red.
Maybe he should have opted for the Chris Evans look instead.
From the South China Morning Post:
The used underwear, which belonged to women in the neighbourhood, had been stolen by a male resident over the course of the year, news website Gxnews.com.cn reported.
The report said the man hid the stolen lingerie above ceiling tiles in a number of stairwells within the residential building where he lived.

According to a supposed Googler, Android 3.2 might be coming to the Motorola XOOM in a matter of days. Buried in the comments of Android Open Source Project Issue 16992, a one line response states, "There should be a 3.2 update coming within days, and that should help those of you with Xoom." The issue the comment is referring to concerns problems with Exhcnage support arrising after the Android 3.1 update, and while a fix is welcomed that's not what has us excited.
This is one of only a handful of times we have heard mention of Android 3.2, an update that is said to bring support for a wider range of screen sizes and help bridge the gab to Ice Cream Sandwich. The update was first mentioned alongside Huawei's upcoming tablet, and later more information was detailed. This is the first we have heard of it going to the Motorola XOOM, but it wouldn't surprise us to see the flagship Honeycomb device receive the update. We wouldn't even be surprised if the rumored XOOM 2 ships with the new version out of the box.

I am a semi-retired accountant living in White Plains working in Norwalk CT. I have never been married. I have one married sister living in Rochester NY with 2 grown children.. Both are in the theatre world (my nephew is a performer and my niece is a production stage manager). I am a member of a local synagogue (I was treasurer for 3 years) with many friends but not that special person. My interests include music (oldies mostly), theatre, sports and I love the outdoors. Other than currently working 2 days a week, I see friends for lunch or dinner, go to local dinner and movies or to NYC for dinner and a Bway Show. I try to walk on my days off (substitute for going to a gym) up to 5 miles each time at good pace. I and a fellow congregant are semi-official greeters at our synagogue for Friday evening services and a group of us usually go out to dinner afterward. If I am home early enough, I'll watch late evening TV - I like "Blue Bloods". I haven't traveled extensively as I am not fond of air travel but will be travelling to Las Vegas in the fall for my niece's wedding.

This has been my favorite sushi restaurant since I was 5 years old.... And I'm in my thirties now. Nuff said! I love it, I love it, I love it!!!! The greatest atmosphere of all. They really know what they're doing! A great date spot...perfect lighting and great decor. When they're in season, Get the sweet shrimp cause they're super sweeeeet!!!Yum yum yum. And get a shirt!
Posted by Sushi lover on 03/09/2009
I've been to many Japanese restaurant in Beverly Hills, Hollywood, Irvine, and Japanese cuisines on Sawtelle. This sushi place, Iroha Sushi of Tokyo, is the best restaurant i have ever been to. this restaurant has its reputation in Tokyo and this restaurant is worth it. Their fish is very fresh espacially 'uni' (sea urchin) and their Toro and their hot plates are really good. For this kind of satisfaction, the price is reasonable.
Posted by studio city resident on 12/02/2008
I've gone to Iroha a bunch of times and have always enjoyed it. It's close to home but that's not why I go there, as there are tons of sushi places on Ventura. The atmosphere is very pleasant and the food is very good, albeit a bit pricey. I usually go around lunch time and haven't had trouble getting a seat. Parking is a little sparse, but there is a valet. Anyway, I'd recommend the place.
Posted by Disappointed on 01/04/2008
Maybe I've been spoiled by getting to have GREAT sushi very often, but I was expecting a lot more from this place after reading reviews online. Either people have very indiscriminating taste in sushi or I went on a very off night. They had the reservation wrong, which I had called to confirm earlier in the day, had only written down half of my phone number which is why they didn't call me, didn't have a table for us, made us wait 30 minutes, and when they did finally seat us, it was at the table right by the bathroom. Call me a snob, but all of this is totally unacceptable. Even if my meal were free, I expect much more from any restaurant I choose to patron. Our service was slow, the sushi was okay, at best, and certainly far from great. We did have a crab roll wrapped in cucumber which was really good, but everything else was mediocre and done better at other restaurants. The one good thing is we didn't leave smelling like fish/tempura, which is nice, but overall, I would go elsewhere.

a little expensive, but always delicious

I absolutely adore this restaurant. Quite honestly I hated sushi before I came here. It has such a relaxed atmosphere with great service and evern better food. You will not find a better Japanese restaurant in L.A.

This one was slow starting for me. But, once I got into the "Kitteridge" groove, it was a ride I thoroughly enjoyed. I think one of the off-putting things for me was that Olive is not the most likable character. Actually, she can be quite a B$*&%& at times. But, she does have her soft side, so once you get to know her, she does grow on you. Another thing that might have initially hindered my immediate enjoyment was that Olive's story told in a series of interconnecting short stories. I'm not a big short story reader, so I admit I might have started this one thinking…"Oh, I'm not going to like it. It's stories…" But, soon, that prejudice vanished when I figured out that Strout was not writing separate stories that happen to feature some continuing characters. She was weaving a tale of a woman's flawed and marred life, through the eyes of all of the people around her. A strikingly good read!

IS 4160 - The Ice Age
Credits: 3
Integrates scientific and anthropological inquiry. Focuses upon the myriad environmental and evolutionary changes that took place during the past 2.5 million years commonly referred to as "The Ice Age." Climatic changes, rapid at times, led to lowering and rising sea levels, shifts in flora and fauna, and land form change, profoundly influencing the evolution of hominids from australopithecines to Homo sapiens. During this period humans moved out of Africa, to Europe, Asia, Australia, and eventually the Americas. Examines the physical changes in humans and cultural adaptations to the environments in which Ice Age humans lived. Spring of even years. Prerequisite(s): Junior status. (INCO)

Jalopnik brings us these new photos of the BMW M5 test prototype spotted out testing. The upcoming M5 will be powered by a twin turbo V8 rumored to produce 578hp.
5post member Alpine325ci (Gerald Alvarez) continues his stunning M5 photoshops. What we're seeing are not only beautiful impressions of the F10 M5, but also some of the most life-like versions we've seen. Full set of new images inside.
The F10 M5 seen currently in winter testing has shed some of its front end camouflage to reveal more of the M5 than recently seen. If you look closely, you can make out the lower front fascia design behind the remaining black tape, which appears to cover the entire front bumper. Other external parts may yet remain preproduction version — the final hood will likely see a power bulge (a signature ///M feature), the fenders may yet be widened, the mirrors become sleeker, and the … CONTINUED

Indeed that is awful. Good news (for me and the other countless M5 Touring owners throughout Europe et all) I was informed that there will be a F11 M5 Touring as the car has proved to be very popular even the final production models are being snapped up as we speak.

Check out these beautiful renders of one of BMWs most hotly anticipated new M cars — the F10 BMW M5. The new M5 is expected to bow in one years time at the 2011 Geneva auto show, a year after the regular F10 5-series sedan makes its world premiere at the 2010 Geneva show next month.
Well, there is no end to the photoshops of the upcoming M5 that have been bubbling to the surface. The general notion is that the cars line will follow the E90/E92 M3 front bumper however it will be significantly more angular (think X5/X6 M) and obviously wider to fill out the larger 5-Series based body
Time marches on and the F10 BMW M5 continues its cold weather testing ahead of its scheduled launch for 2011. To recap, this car is expected to utilize a turbo charged V8 engine derived from the motor used in the X5 and X6 M. Power outputs are still unknown but I would bet on it being higher then that of the X5/X6M. Other M5 Spy pictures can be seen here.

We design and create exquisite contemporary jewellery that is truly special, not only in style but in the story of how each piece is made.
Our handmade elements are individually produced from reclaimed materials using traditional methods by disadvantaged groups around the world. These elements are then trasformed in our studio on the edge of the Cotswolds, to create jewellery that ranges from the elegant to the quirky.
We are very pleased to say we offer the option of personalising many of our designs to make them even more special.
The natural characteristics of many of the reclaimed materials we use means our jewellery is incredibly easy to wear. It has a relaxed style, but every bead and charm is individual hand crafted giving each piece its own creative story.
We only work with groups with the highest work standards and fair trade credentials, so not only will you be buying a gorgeous piece of jewellery but you will also be helping to support craft people in rural Africa and the Indian Ocean.

So with one worthwhile phone OS left (lets face it, nobody is seeing BBOS as cool anymore and WP7, no matter what, will still have WM stigma lingering), how long before it starts taking the iPod route?
iPod, once it reached the top of the heap, never really did much to stand out after that. They increased size and that was it until Touch came.
I'm not really worried so much as Android being gone, there are other good OSes...it's just the fact of wondering how long before Apple goes for other companies they deem a threat (which I'm not knocking, it's business and they have to do what they have to do). And if not a threat, how long before they just sit back and become "Microsoft" in nature. Living off their high market share and only needing to do something big when a threat arises.
Microsoft wants to make Android more expensive, Apple wants to make it less usable
An administrative judge at the International Trade Commission (ITC) has issued an initial determination that HTC is infringing on 2 Apple patents, which -- in a worst case scenario -- could result in an import ban of iPhone-competing HTC Android smartphones. HTC's stock has taken a hit since the ruling, obviously, but it's important to remember it's an initial ruling and a lot can change between now and any final decision, including an agreement between HTC and Apple, similar to HTC's existing agreement with Microsoft.
Florian Mueller from FOSS Patents doesn't think that's likely, however.
For Apple this is not just about money. They're not going to let HTC build fully functional smartphones and tablets in exchange for $10 or $20 per device unless HTC owns patents that Apple absolutely needs to license.
It's a fallacy to assume that Apple v. HTC is just the usual patent dispute between two large players, and therefore going to have the same kind of happy end. This one is different. From a shareholder value point of view, what Apple needs to achieve -- even if it costs a lot of time and money -- is as much of a technological gap as possible between its own products and the Android-based products offered by HTC and other vendors.
In other words, as Florian discussed in our World War Patents podcast, while Microsoft seems to want to make Android more expensive, Apple wants to make it less usable.
HTC meanwhile, could be fighting back using a company called S3 as a proxy. HTC's chairwoman is a major S3 shareholder, but S3 has to do what's best for S3 and that could end up being a licensing agreement with Apple that doesn't end up providing any cover for HTC.
I could imagine a situation in which Apple might agree on a partial cross-license that would grant Apple access to all of HTC's and S3's patents while HTC would get access to only some of Apple's patents: maybe just enough so that HTC can at least continue to sell Android-based products of some kind, but those products could be limited and there might be substantial degradations of the user experience.
Google, for their part, is continuing it's terrifying silence on all things patent related, including a remarkable non-answer by Larry Page during the latest financial results conference call. This probably means they're either playing their cards very close to their ninja vests, or they're just not concerned with how this might play out, including the unlikely possibility of HTC switching to Windows Phone exclusively, just to avoid any more patent-related headaches.
Check the link below for Florian's full rundown and his excellent "battlemap" visualization of the dispute.

Microsoft wants to make Android more expensive, Apple wants to make it less usable
So with one worthwhile phone OS left (lets face it, nobody is seeing BBOS as cool anymore and WP7, no matter what, will still have WM stigma lingering), how long before it starts taking the iPod route?
As I explained to my friend on the situation. I'm in no way happy about this at all. BUT in the current state of the world, property rights is what we have to follow. If Google or any of the OEMs for Android WILLFULLY infringed upon patents that belong to someone, then they have to pay.
This falls under the same light as those old ignorantly stupid laws in the lawbooks that no one abides by, because they're dated and broken. If Apple is trying to take out Google's Android, then you can see what kind of future you have for the iPhone. One where it wont change or get amazing new features, a day and age where they'll sell you a mediocre upgrade for the rest of your lives. I mean why bother.. if you're the only one playing the game.
An easy way I think Android could avoid this is by just changing the "Linkify" portion of it. Instead of linking to a specific function based on the text, why not copy the text then from there analyze the data and give options on what to do with the data. Not specifically linking to one specific function...since that's what the patent itself is speaking on.
If I did read the patent correctly, the main infringement is the point of identifying the set of data as a number/email/address then directing it to the specific function that would handle that.
If, for instance, I tapped a number and it provided options to copy or call, wouldn't that be different enough to not be infringing on said patent since it's not really 'linking' to the dialer directly?
That's the Apple way, if there's no patent on it, patent it. It doesn't matter if they didn't make it, as long as they have the patent.
Looks like Apple and Microsoft are planning on taking out Android. Knowing they can't take out Google themselves, they know that they can take out the people who make Android. Why would anyone want an expensive yet, unusable phone?
Apple is pathetic, if this is how they want to get ahead I'm done buying their products.
Crap like this is why I switched back to Android from an iP4. Apple's business practices are despicable. If Apple somehow made the only smartphone in the country I would rather go with someone else's dumbphone than support Apple. They will never get another penny of my money... Ever.
To quote Rene's linked androidcentral.com piece:
"Now, the patent system as it currently exists is broken beyond the point of embarrassment...It's a terrible system, but it's the system we're stuck with. And it's the system Google is stuck with as well."
There is another possibility here that neither Rene nor Florian consider -- that Google is setting themselves up (or resigning themselves) to be the test case that highlights the absurdity of the system enough to force some changes. After all, Google has never had a problem with various system-level patents (e.g. Google pays feeds on the consortium's various patents on wireless radios), but has turned a blind/naive eye to things like Apple's link-to-a-phone-dialer patent, Amazon's 1-click patent, or Microsoft's patent on page up/page down. (For that matter, Apple itself appears to substantially ignore the latter two, unless there is some cross-licensing agreement going on behind the scenes.)
It seems like a huge gamble, but, as small as their patent arsenal is, Google is going to lose any war under the current system, so why not think differently and try to change the system?
Of course, we are also talking about a system that granted a patent for the act of swinging sideways on a swingset, so by comparison these software patents are only marginally absurd.
The actual Apple, Amazon, Microsoft, and swingset patents are all linked above, but, while Disqus allows HTML links in comments, apparently the markup/css here leaves them indistinguishable from regular text. Mouseover to see the links.
Very interesting thought about Google possibly using patent disputes as a test case the absurdity of the current patent system.
Well, if Google is doing this then I sure hope put away reserve large sums of cash for patent settlements/litigation expenses among other things.
However, IMO Google is no "patent vigilante"... Heck they have not (publically) consistently shown the willingness to assist their business patners with patent disputes related to their products.
The same reason why Google tried to buy Nortel's patent portfolio. Google seems very lethargic (or otherwise unlucky) when it comes to patent acquisition.
Again, Google is not a "patent vigilante". Google cant just "choose" not to heed the current USTPO system just because they don't agree with it as it stands today. This would NOT be a smart business practice for a major player like Google.
You are missing the point. Of course google can't pick and choose what laws to followhey you rare the only one trying to make them the Batman of the USPTO. What they can do, however, is contest patents they feel should not have been granted, and pressure (media or government) to change the relevant processes. The more fewer patents they license, the less attention they give to trolls like Lodsys, and the more questionable patents they contest, the simpler this campaigns would be.
Not that they would be easy, not matter what.
Some companies are much worse than others. I don't pretend to be an expert on patent legislation (nor do i want to be). However, R&D is expensive and risky and what seem to be "broad or a simple innovation" could have actually cost a company up to multiple millions of shareholder's money to design, implement, prefect and bring to market. And almost as importantly, R&D means a company devote their LIMITED human resources and time to innovate.
So for those of you who think that just because a company sues for patent infringement that they somehow "evil" - obviously you are entitled to your opinion. And in this case, if you choose not to buy Apple products because they choose not let HTC have a "free ride" with certain innovations - then good luck finding a "non-for-profit" technology provider.
@ Supafly_Boy Face plam on ignorance.
@ John Bibbs Good for u bro.
Why can't we all just get along!?!?
The people who really make out here are not the innovators (Apple, HTC, etc.) or the non-innovators (Microsoft, ...umm?), but rather the LAWYERS.
The law is made by lawyers and for the benefit of lawyers and this is a perfect example of that fact. I'm also going to go out on a limb and offer my opinion that this is mostly true here in the United States. :-P

Student Comments
Kristen Hylenski, CCSU @ Freiburg 1994-95
I had an outstanding year in Freiburg! I love the people Ive met. Ive loved traveling. Ive loved experiencing German culture and everyday life first hand. There is absolutely nothing as helpful to ones German as studying in a German speaking land. My year in Freiburg not only helped me personally, in the areas of character development and global awareness, but also profoundly influenced my future. I am starting my Ph.D. in German at Yale in fall 1996!
Jennifer Bouchard, SCSU @ Heidelberg 1993-94
This was the best year of my life. I was able to experience what it is like to be a student for the first time. In the US, I am always running from one place to the next. There is no time to enjoy life. Heidelberg is incredible!
Jennifer Wright, Hartt. School of Music (UHa) @ Stuttgart 1995-96
What I have enjoyed most is . . . People! People! People! New food, a new cultural sense of humor, the taste of another language, eloquent architecture, ancient castles, free concerts, the pianos at the music school, pizza in Italy, train travel, a new awareness of history and "the rest of the world out there, " German chocolate and hazelnut ice cream, traveling with friends, feeling at home in a wonderfully different place!
Nicholas Sinn, CCSU @ Heidelberg 1995-96
Broadening my horizon and experiencing a different lifestyle are perhaps the most rewarding experiences I have had.. Every day sheds new light on my life.
Daniel Doerr, SCSU @ Heidelberg 1995-96
I have enjoyed simply experiencing another culture. Not just food, entertainment, etc., but slowly gaining insight into German views and values, what Germans think of one another, other Europeans, etc. As a student of European history, it is extremely interesting for me to see how historical events still affect the consciousness of today. It has also been interesting and informative to see what people of other nations think about the US their prejudices, judgments, expectations of what American are like. It has caused me to rethink some of my opinions about America -- good and bad.
Alice Fritz, SCSU @ Konstanz, 1995-1996
I was very much afraid to move into a dorm . . .Much to my pleasant surprise, my dorm situation here is very much like the nicer apartment situations I have had at home. My roommates are very important to me. In a way they are a family to me. We cook together now and then, sometimes on a weekend one of us will bake a cake and we sit around with coffee and cake and chat about our week. No one demands that the others be sociable, but theres always some one there when one wants to be. They have helped me with my assignments and various problems of dealing with German red tape. I am glad that I have also been able to help, with English assignments or chocolate chip cookies. I think that without the dorm situation that I have here it would have been much harder to integrate myself, and much less enjoyable overall.
Cynthia Bruce, UCONN @ Tübingen 1992-93
I have learned so much about myself and my capabilities -- thanks to my year abroad. I have learned how to be independent and how to fend for myself . I became much more independent. As for insights, I realized this world is a big place and I want to get out and see and experience more of it.
Sarah Schneider, Connecticut College @ Konstanz, Spring 1993
I returned with many new insights especially a new appreciation for what is unique about the U.S as well as what makes Germany unique. I have more confidence since returning and most of all, Ive learned to be more straightforward with people. Thats because in a foreign language you have to be more directyour language skills, although decent, are not sophisticated enough to be subtle. . . . One high point of my semester, as silly as it may sound, was buying my used bicycle. I was so proud of my ugly, old bike because I did everything on my own to contact the seller and go look at it and then buy it. Its one of those things that would have been relatively easy back home, but in Germany I was intimidated by having to call up a complete stranger and discuss the price, where to meet, etc., all in German. But it all worked out, and I was able to sell my bike at the end of the semester and get some money back.
James Frey, UConn @ Karlsruhe, Wintersemester 1996-97
At first in Heidelberg [in September] I wondered "What the heck did I learn back at UConn?" Because I really couldnt understand the dialect at all. Now [February] I have no problems whatsoever. It took a little time to get used to -- is all.
Whats it like to study here? The structure is completely different. Here (Germany) there are almost no daily or weekly requirements in classes. Whether or not you go to class at all is entirely up to you. At the end of a semester, if you want a Schein or a grade, you have to ask to take a test. Can you imagine: Oh please, oh please may I take an exam?
I have met so many people through extra-curricular activities its fabulous. I also teach bicycle repair in the metal Werkstatt in the basement of my building Thursday nights. Tip: when you first move into your room at your university, invite your floor to coffee/teach and cake (Bake it yourself). I know this sounds funny, but it will pay off ten-fold in how fast you will meet all of these new faces.
So far this has been great. Throwing oneself into a new and different environment really forces one to exercise some of those old rusty brain cells. It challenges perspectives. They [the Germans] have radio and television tax here; just for owning one here you have to pay a monthly fee, for example. It really is a different mindset.
Jennifer Wright, Hartt School of Music (UHa) @ Stuttgart, 1996-97
The Heidelberg Language Program is a great thing. Its a good buffer for the first month in a strange country and prepares you a little bit for the shock of conducting all business in German. Its true that you may not learn a great amount, but you do learn some German! Its good to get a lot of initial scary questions about living in Germany answered there. Heidelberg is also a huge treat as a city. Mostly its a chance to meet other students and set a small base of friends together, who can all help each other later. Its also good to have these friends in Uni cities other than yours, because you have a good excuse to visit them and see the new city at the same time.
Monica Black, Connecticut College @ Heidelberg 1992-93
The BW-Exchange provided not only an invaluable cultural experience for me but also an excellent edge for entering the international job market. I was one of two candidates chosen from 240 for a position with Credit Suisse in New York City and professional studies in an applied international banking program with the German Chamber of Commerce.

Triclosan: Regulation and Policy
EPA publishes petition to ban Triclosan for public comment
8, 2010) EPA announced a 60-day public comment period for the petition
filed by Beyond Pesticides and Food and Water Watch to ban the controversial
antimicrobial pesticide Triclosan for non-medical use. The petition filed
on January 14, 2010 identified pervasive and widespread use of Triclosan
and the agency's failure to address Triclosan's impacts on human and environmental
health, conduct assessments for residues in drinking water and food and
concerns related to antibacterial resistance and endocrine disruption.
The petition cites various violations of numerous environmental statues
including the Clean Water Act, Safe Drinking Water Act and the Endangered
Species Act.
Urges FDA to Ban Triclosan.
Pesticides tells FDA that Triclosan is too hazardous to the aquatic environment
FDA and EPA respond to calls to ban Triclosan (April 8, 2010). Prompted by a 2009 petition by Beyond Pesticides, Food & Water Watch and others outlining the dangers associated with Triclosan and echoed by Rep. Markey's (D-MA) letters of concern, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) responded, "existing data raise valid concerns about the [health] effects of repetitive daily human exposure to these antiseptic ingredients," and announced plans to address the use of Triclosan in cosmetics or other products. In its response, EPA maintains that the agency does not currently plan to reevaluate its regulations surrounding the use of Triclosan until 2013.
Beyond Pesticides and others petition EPA to ban consumer uses of Triclosan (January 14, 2010). Beyond Pesticides, Food & Water Watch and 80 other organizations petitioned EPA to ban Triclosan for non-medical applications on the basis that those uses violate federal laws regulating pesticide registration, clean and safe drinking water, and endangered species.
Beyond Pesticides and others petition FDA to ban consumer uses of Triclosan (July 14, 2009) Beyond Pesticides and Food & Water Watch petitioned FDA to ban Triclosan for non-medical applications on the basis that those uses violate federal law.
Groups tell EPA to restrict Triclosan (December 29, 2008). Groups sign statement seeking to restrict Triclosan citing EPA health and environmental standards too weak (read comments to EPA). Tell EPA to ban the non-medical uses of Triclosan.
EPA releases
Triclosan RED, allows continued use of toxic chemical (October
29, 2008). The EPA released its final Reregistration Eligibility Decision
(RED) document for Triclosan which contained several amendments to the
risk assessment as a result of comments submitted by Beyond Pesticides
dozens of public health and environmental groups. However, despite many
lingering issues related to Triclosan's continued threat to human and
environmental health, the agency concluded that Triclosan is eligible
for reregistration.
Groups Tell EPA to Stop Uses of Anti-Bacterial Consumer Products (July 7, 2008). In comments to EPA on its new risk assessment and evaluation of the widely used anti-bacterial chemical Triclosan groups point to health and environmental effects and call for end to consumer products. Read the press release and comments to EPA.
FDA asks for data on Triclosan (October, 25, 2005) The Non-Prescription Drug Advisory Committee of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a call for further research regarding the risks and benefits of specific consumer antibacterial products.
Regulating Antibacterials
In general, EPA regulates all of the pesticidal uses of antibacterials when they are used as a preservative, a fungicide, or a biocide, such as with Microban® in plastics. Articles or products that claim to be effective in controlling microorganisms such as E.coli etc, must be registered as a pesticide, once the product makes a public health claim that goes beyond the use of the pesticide as a preservative to protect the product itself.
According to the EPA,
