If S&P thought this week's lawsuit from the Justice Department was a problem wait until the New York Attorney General figures out a way to sue the agency.
Earlier this week the United States Department of Justice sued Standard & Poor's for giving top-notch ratings to mortgage securities it knew were toxic in order to win business. This same week NY Attorney General Eric Schneiderman quietly launched his own investigation into the credit rating agency–one that could become more damning than the Fed's case.
The federal suit received a lot of attention in the industry for a couple of reasons. For one thing, it only went after one credit rating agency leaving the two other major firms, Fitch and Moody's, out of its complaint. There's been no indication as to why but plenty of chatter that the Feds may be singling out S&P because of its downgrade of U.S. credit in 2011.
Another reason the Fed's complaint received extra attention was that it seemed to be suing S&P on behalf of federally insured financial institutions, or banks. Banks like Citigroup, Bank of America and JPMorgan Chase were defrauded by S&P's manipulated ratings on mortgage securities, the Department of Justice argues in its complaint. If that seems a little odd that's because it is.
Many of those same banks were underwriting the very toxic loans that were packaged into mortgage securities and then rated by S&P and others. But the Justice Department argues that S&P was giving the securities high ratings to keep the business of banks who pay them for ratings.
Here's how Bloomberg's Jonathan Weil puts it:
Under the government's theory, Citigroup and Bank of America paid S&P for ratings that convinced the banks their own CDO offal was rock-solid. And because S&P deceived them into thinking the best of their own rubbish, these banks and other lenders suffered more than $5 billion of investment losses, according to the suit.
Then there's the fact that the DoJ filed a civil, not criminal, suit against S&P. That's less of a mystery though since civil suits are easier to win than criminal ones. The DoJ brought its suit under the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act which protects federally backed financial firms from fraud; it has a low burden of proof and long statute of limitations. Reuters notes that previously unsuccessful criminal inquiries prompted the DoJ to try a new path in the way it goes after firms involved in the crisis.
Enter New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman. He's launched his own investigation of credit rating agencies and could build a case much more powerful and damaging than the Department of Justice's. His office has subpoenaed S&P and requested information from Moody's and Fitch, according to a source. That makes the whole thing a lot more interesting.
Why? Well, for one thing Schneiderman and the Department of Justice seem to be after the same thing but they're acting on their own. That's noteworthy because Schneiderman leads a state-federal task force created by President Obama. The task force's mission is to bring together state and federal agencies including the DoJ to collectively investigate fraud in the mortgage securities market. That task force helped bring the $11.2 lawsuit against Credit Suisse in November–a suit led by Schneiderman's office.
Why then did the DoJ and Schneiderman go their separate ways in the credit rating agencies investigations? It may have to do with a 2008 agreement that former New York Attorney General and current Governor Andrew Cuomo made with the three ratings agencies. That agreement said there would be no investigations or lawsuits against the ratings agencies by the NY AG so long as they agreed to and did not violate reforms.
The agreement ended in 2011 but it was enough to complicate matters and prevent Schneiderman's office from leading the charge on one big case against the ratings agencies like the one against S&P.
That's unfortunate for the DoJ in a way; had Schneiderman been left in charge he could have sued under a much more powerful law dubbed the Martin Act which makes it easier to prosecute fraud. New York's Martin Act was signed in 1921, prior to major federal securities laws, to protect against fraudulent stock schemes.
The Martin Act is fierce in that it can preempt federal law and it does not require the New York Attorney General to prove that defendants acted with intent to defraud, only that they acted negligently. The other zinger: Schneiderman could bring criminal charges under the Martin Act and still wouldn't have to prove intent to defraud. That's a big advantage for the NY AG and one the Feds do not have in its case against S&P.
Don't count Schneiderman out of the credit rating crusade just yet though. Schneiderman is no stranger to striking out on his own. He was a big thorn in big banks' sides during the nationwide foreclosure settlement. Had it not been for Scheiderman's opposition to an early agreement that prevented individual states from suing banks in the future the foreclosure settlement would have likely ended much sooner than it did and for less money.
He's already subpoenaed S&P and has been in touch with Moody's and Fitch which means he's gathering information for a possible case of his own. "As a former Assistant Attorney General in the N.Y. Attorney General's Office of Investor Protection and Financial Crimes, under both Eliot Spitzer and his predecessor, I know that office does not issue such high profile Martin Act subpoenas without careful consideration," says New York attorney Stuart Meissner.
If Schneiderman finds a way to get around the 2008 Cuomo agreement (by finding that the agencies violated the terms, for instance) and push his own case forward he could make the DoJ's civil case look a lot less ominous. Sources familiar with the New York Attorney's General investigation and the DoJ's case say the two sides are coordinating but that won't stop them from competing with one another.
Says Miessner, "The New York Attorney General's office does not like to take deference to Federal authorities when it comes to its securities division and I have no doubt that this will not be an exception." He adds, "They are different animals and they live to compete with each other."
He thinks the competition will force both sides to be more aggressive in their pursuit of gathering evidence and building a strong case. It may lengthen the overall process but it will ensure there won't be a rush to settle.
That kind of competition among regulators is something more cases stemming from the financial crisis could benefit from.
S&P and Moody's would not comment for this story. Fitch Ratings said in a statement, "We are unable to comment on the S&P matter as it does not involve us, other than to say we have absolutely no reason to believe Fitch is a target of any such action."
Neither the New York Attorney General's office nor the U.S. Department of Justice would not comment for this story.

The Universe in Zero Words is the latest book by Dana MacKenzie, who you may know as a regular contributor to the AMS series What's Happening in the Mathematical Sciences. The book is aimed at the interested layman, and proceeds by discussing the history and use of twenty-four equations. The topics range from the ancient (Pythagorean Theorem, 1 + 1 = 2, etc.) through the modern (Black-Scholes, the Lorenz equations, the Chern-Gauss-Bonnet equation).
The chapters are fairly short, typically about five or six pages, and there are interesting illustrations throughout. It is an attractive book.
However, I found it hard to read. It wasn't the prose, which was excellent, but rather the depth of the content. I kept expecting more depth, more detail and more rigor. Clearly, this is due to my profession. Given that I am not the target audience, I tried an experiment. I gave the book to a seventeen year old university student majoring in biology and asked her to read the chapter on the Lorenz equations, which I enjoyed. Her response was lukewarm when asked if she wanted to read other chapters, or if it made her want to know more about chaos. She did say, however, that she found the chapter easy to understand.
So, I'd suggest looking at the table of contents and/or some chapter samples available at the author's web site to help you decide if this is the right book for you. You may also want to have a look at Ian Stewart's In Pursuit of the Unknown: 17 Equations that Changed the World, which seems similar in approach, and was favorably reviewed here.
Peter Rabinovitch is a Systems Architect at Research in Motion. He recently defended his PhD thesis on Mallows permutations, and is now trying to condense it into something readable.

United Way of Greater Toledo investment down from last yearWritten by Brigitta Burks | News Editor | email@example.com
The United Way of Greater Toledo will invest $11.8 million in programs throughout Lucas, Wood and Ottawa counties during its 2013-14 fiscal season. This is down from $12.9 million last year.
$9.3 million will be directed toward graduating students by targeting education, income and health, according to a news release. That amount was $8.6 million last year.
Karen Mathison, CEO and president, said $868,000 less is being spent in the community and the local United Way will make cuts of about $600,000 internally. This means six staff positions are being eliminated or not being filled and technology upgrades and training are being put off.
The cuts are a result of the board's decision to take a 5 percent payout from its strategic reserve fund instead of 10 or 12 percent like it's done in recent years, Mathison said.
"If you think about your savings account, if you have a $100 in there and every year, you take $10 out, at some point, it's gone. So we're using less of our reserve fund to help off-set and do more community programming, but it's more sustainable for us in the future," she said.
Mathison said she has been meeting with community organizations to discuss the budget the past couple days. She said the organizations have appreciated meeting face to face and engaged in "rich dialogue."
The local American Red Cross is one affected organization. It received $601,878, which is a 9 percent decrease from last year. However, it was expecting a 16 percent cut, according to a release. The four homeless shelters that the United Way helps support, Family House, St. Paul's Community Center, the Aurora House and Catholic Charities, each received 5 percent in cuts, Mathison said.
Programs that received funding last year, but won't next year are the Northwest Ohio Developmental Agency's Individual Development Account program, WGTE's First Book program, Ottawa County Family & Children First Council's Family Preservation Program, Vanguard-Sentinel Adult Career Center's V-S-GED testing contract and Wood County Health Department's personal care contract.
Mathison said the United Way began telling organizations about the potential cuts in January to give them time to prepare.
The United Way board of trustees decided on the budget based on assessments from community volunteers and approved the new budget, which takes effect July 1, on May 15.

"I Was Made That Way, Can't Help It:
The Impact of Consumerism, Liberalism, and Imperial Culture on Weimar Cabaret."
The Paper:
My essay focuses on cabarets in Berlin from the turn of the century to the end of the 1930s. In the essay, I analyze how the changing culture of Berlin affected the way cabarets were presented. I argue that the drive for profit forced cabarets to compromise their liberal aspirations with conservative realities. It's fun stuff.
I got the idea for this paper from The Dresden Dolls, a duo from Boston who create amazing music. They have a term "Punk Cabaret" that they throw about, and it seemed like an interesting idea to pursue. My final topic—consumerism and censorship—came from the reading I did throughout the summer and the semester.
The Sponsor: David Imhoof, Ph.D., associate professor of history
I liked working with Dr. Imhoof. I'd already taken his European History class, so I knew his expectations for my writing. His specialization in German interwar history didn't hurt matters either.
The Process:
I started my research during the summer, reading two books recommended to me by Dr. Imhoof. Throughout the course of the semester, I think I used about twenty different sources: books, articles, essays and scripts. I read and read and read.
When it came time to write, I outlined my ideas, pulled some quotes, and went at it. I would talk with Dr. Imhoof after each draft to discuss what improvements could be made, what things could be eliminated, etc. Then I would make those improvements and do more research as needed.
The Reward:
When I started my essay, I was a bit apprehensive about the process. I'm used to writing papers in about a week. Writing a paper over a whole semester seemed a bit intimidating. Now that I've reached the light, though, I've found my experiences have been mostly positive. I think I've become a better writer, especially in the areas of structure and incorporating outside sources to my benefit. The information that I found was also quite interesting, so it's nice to walk away with an appreciation for that too.

Saturn is the most beautiful planet in our Solar System. Famous for its bright yet ethereal rings, the gas giant has over sixty natural satellites in orbit around it – and one artificial satellite: NASA's Cassini spacecraft, which provides many of the results and images that will be showcased in this talk. We shall explore the weather observed in the atmosphere of Saturn, the curious structures that develop within the rings, and its wide variety of moons – from smog-shrouded Titan, two-sided Iapetus, to busy Prometheus, and the icy plumes erupting from frozen Enceladus.

2 cups
fresh basil leaves
2 tablespoons
crumbled feta cheese
1/4 cup
freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup
pine nuts, toasted
artichoke heart, roughly chopped
2 tablespoons
chopped oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes
1/2 cup
extra-virgin olive oil
1 pinch
salt and black pepper to taste
I wanted to note... a little late, but better late then never, add between 2-4 cloves of garlic. Depending on how much you like. I forgot to add that in when I submitted the recipe.
Glad ya'll liked it!
Great recipe!!! I will definitely make again! I omitted the pine nuts and artichokes because I didn't have any and I added 2 or ts of minced garlic. I ended up with about 1 cup of pesto and tossed it with a (cooked) 1 lb. box of campanelle pasta, sauteed baby bella mushrooms and some extra sun-dried tomatoes. There were about 4-5 generous servings. I'd like to make this again and include the pine nuts & artichokes. This would also be great with roasted eggplant/zucchini and broccoli or paired with grilled chicken. This is a dish that's impressive enough for company, but also quick & easy so it's perfect for everyday eating, too!

The first time I made this, I used dry tomatoes, instead of the oil-packed ones, which made it too dry to toss with pasta. I spread it on a thick, whole-grain pizza crust, top it with crumbled feta cheese, artichoke heart chunks, sun-dried tomatos, and maybe a few Calamata olives. Bake it for eighteen minutes, or until the cheese starts to brown, then remove it and let it sit for 10 min.
That's GOOD pizza!
My sister and boyfriend (both against all things green) loved this. I made a few minor changes to pacify my lactose intolerant system. Instead of Parmesan, I used nutritional yeast and replaced the feta (often made with cow's milk in the US) with crumbled goat cheese. I also didn't have quite 2 cups of basil, so I put a little extra tomatoes in instead. I left the final product a little chunkier so that I could add it to pasta. I tossed the pesto with penne pasta and wine-sauted (savignon blanc) mushrooms for an oh-so-delicious dish that I served with baked chicken. I think I'll make a double batch next time to freeze. I've read up on freezing pesto and the best I've seen is to fill ice cub trays with the pesto and top with plastic wrap (so that it touches the pesto) and freeze. Once frozen, put the cubes in a freezer bag and use as necessary. I can't wait to try it!
This is the best pesto I've ever made! I used it for the Pesto Cheesy Chicken Rolls. Wow! It was awesome by itself and spectacular in the chicken. Thanks!
Excellent!! I took another reviewer's advice and used it on pizza as a sauce covered with feta cheese, fresh grated Parmesan cheese, and artichokes.
One of the best pestos I have ever made! ...although red and green doesn't mix to make a very pretty color. I didn't have any parmesan cheese so I used a vintage white cheddar cheese in place along with feta and it worked great. Also used garlic powder since I didn't have any fresh and I replaced pine nuts with toasted walnuts because thats what I had on hand. Definitely worth a try!
I started growing basil just so I can make this more often.

As we continue the tour of our garden, you will notice how the bearded iris are really at their peak. Only a day or two from now, we will need to start dead heading the spent blossoms and beginning to notice the sage growing up from between their leaves to replace these iris beds.
Next you will notice the Kousa dogwood showing its bracts, but not as white as they will get as they mature. Kousa dogwood bears its bracts after leafing out, unlike the florida dogwood which first opens its bracts and then leafs out.
The snow ball viburnum are so heavily laden with blooms that the branches are sagging down and making the overall plant look even fatter!
Oh, here are more bearded iris, this time two toned light and dark purple.
Finally, we come to the oldest bush in our collection, a 35 year old rhododendron.
Come back soon, and as the season progresses, there will be more to see and smell! Anyone who wants a cutting or root, let me know, and we'll dig it now, before you leave!

H. Upmann Vintage Cameroon Belicoso cigars are a full-flavored departure from the milder H. Upmann cigars. This shape earned a 92 in Cigar Insider for its depth, balance and gorgeous Cameroon wrapper. A true connoisseur's cigar, with a complex-tasting 3-nation filler that's not to be missed.
One Light, one burn, no tunneling, wonderful smooth flavor and close to mild. No wrapper tear and nice draw for 60 minutes. deacon
Nice burn, decent smoke, but very thin on flavor.
I bought a 5 pack of these H Upmann's and have been quite pleased. They light up easily, burn consistently, nice puffy smoke and a good flavor. I'd buy them again.
Smoke tasted great! Nice and smooth. About a third through the wrapper started cracking. I thought maybe my humidor was running low. Nope and all my other cigar were fine. If it wasn't that I would say this could be a regular smoke for me. I have another one from a sampler pack. Will write again and see if that one is better.

There's a dirt trail running from Berlin's main railway station, and it demonstrates how this city works: First, someone comes up with something; then everyone does something completely different; and, finally, the whole thing goes haywire.
In the summer, the dust of eastern Germany's March of Brandenburg region whirls through the air, making people cough. In the winter, tourists wrestle their wheeled luggage through a sea of mud, as if they had just landed in Lagos at the height of the rainy season.
Of course, there actually is an official path. It extends from the main railway station — which still looks angular and inelegant, as if it had dropped directly out of the sky — toward the Chancellery, which seems almost touching in its structural presumptuousness. What giant, one wonders, left these huge chunks of concrete lying about?

TARTA creates artistic movement on Toledo roadsWritten by John Dorsey | | email@example.com
Northwest Ohio will once again have reason to celebrate its creative class when the annual reception for Art in TARTA kicks into high gear Dec. 3.
Toledo Area Regional Transit Authority and the Arts Commission of Greater Toledo have partnered with representatives of BGSU and UT to provide this opportunity for local artists. The intention is to encourage exposure and appreciation for the arts in the community by artistically enhancing buses, bus shelters and stops throughout the TARTA service area.
The program objective is to invite the public, schools, businesses and local agencies to participate in expanding the visual, literary and musical arts throughout the region.
The Glass Poetry Competition was a collaboration of TARTA and the Young Artists at Work program. For the past 14 years, the Arts Commission of Greater Toledo has offered a six-week summer youth employment opportunity, which enables diverse and at-risk youth to benefit from an intense exposure to the arts. The YAAW program encourages expression, refinement, cross-cultural sharing and the exchange of ideas. The opportunity provides exposure to the concept of art as a business, as well as the creation of public art for the greater-Toledo community.
For the introductory phase of this collaboration, author Larry Levy developed a creative writing curriculum focused on poetry with the theme of glass. A panel of professional writers, professors and TARTA representatives judged the students' poems. The selection panel chose three poems for first-place awards, eight for runners-up and 11 honorable mentions.
Arts Commission of Greater Toledo Executive Director Marc D. Folk said the organization received more submissions because it opened up the process to a larger part of the community.
Graphic design students at BGSU were chosen to create artistic visual interpretations of the first-place poems to wrap four TARTA buses. They worked under the creative direction of Mary Dawson, Matthew Davis and Amy Fidler. The final designs were chosen by a panel of judges from TARTA and the Arts Commission of Greater Toledo.
The reception will take place from 1 to 3 p.m. in the Parkwood Gallery. The awards ceremony will begin at 2 p.m.

WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY) — City Council met tonight, and the future of Wilmington was front and center.
On the agenda was how to regulate the growth of Wilmington's suburban areas. A decision was made, but everyone was not in agreement.
Council sparred over how to address a new zoning classification, urban mixed use, which would essentially allow taller, larger structures to come to more suburban parts of Wilmington. Some of council was concerned this was rushed through to provide zoning for the Galleria shopping center recently acquired by the city from Wrightsville Beach. Council was supposed to zone the property tonight to be in line with state statute, and they wanted to zone it under the new classification. Some council members were just not comfortable with the speed of the decision.
"I appreciate the effort. It just was done too fast," Councilman Kevin O'Grady said. "I think as you saw tonight there's a number of questions about how it will apply, and we didn't get any public input on it. We normally do."
Despite the opposition the first reading of the urban mixed use classification was pushed through with a 4-2 vote. However the vote on zoning the Galleria shopping center was pushed back until the next meeting, which will be outside of the 60-day time limit. This means the city will be in violation of state statute, as the property will remain unzoned.
The city says as of tonight they cannot speak to exactly what that will mean.

This Party Hat Ring, created by Karen McGovern for Nunn Design, can be made to suit any style. Use crystal rondelles and a large crystal bead on the end for a blingy ring; mix metals and/or colored enameled metals like Karen did for an eclectic party-style ring, or use all silver- or gold-tone pieces for a more subtle, elegant design.
Party Hat Ring by Karen McGovern
I start by getting my ring components ready. I like texture, so I hammer my aluminum and brass discs on concrete or on a bench block till I get the look I want. For this ring, I hammered the 1-inch aluminum disc on concrete and the brass gear on a block.
Nunn Design large round ornate adjustable ringNunn Design brass bead cap3" brass headpin with flat head1" aluminum disc1" brass gear disc3/4" mesh disc1/2" brass gear hoop1/4" green enamel discblue enamel-dipped wire bundlebrass gear beadenamel-tipped head pinwood ring mandrelwire snipsround-nose pliersneedle-nose pliersDremel or flex shaft with 1/16" drill bit or metal hole punchchasing hammerdapping blockrubber hammerneedle fileSharpie marker
1. Mark the center of the aluminum disc with a Sharpie. Drill or punch a 1/16" hole in the center. Use the needle file to clean the hole and smooth the edges.
2. Dap the aluminum and brass discs in a dapping block to give a gentle curve.
3. Create your enamel dangle by creating a basic loop wrap in the wire.
4. Open the adjustable ring enough so that you can drill through the center of the bezel and not hit the band. Place the ring on a wooden ring mandrel snugly. Drill a hole in the center of the bezel.
5. Remove the ring from the mandrel and insert the brass head pin with the flat head on the inside of the ring. Readjust the ring band to whatever size you wish.
6. Assemble your ring, sliding the aluminum disc, brass gear disc, mesh disc, gold hoop, enamel disc, wire bundle, gear bead and head pin.
7. Hold tightly and create a simple loop on the brass headpin. Slide on your enamel head pin dangle and finish the loop, wrapping the wire tightly to the stack. Make sure the wire is snug, to hold the stack in place. Snip the end of the wire and tuck tightly into the wrap. File edges if necessary.
Tips: Have fun with this ring! Add more layers to the stack, more dangles on the top, whatever you can imagine! Buttons work well with this design, as do Chinese coins, flat lampwork glass beads, beach stones--anything with a good hole in the center. Make this as tall as you want, and go for color!! --Karen

It could. Roger Cohen's piece today praises Hugo Chavez and attacks the United States because Venezuela just demonstrated it is more of a democracy. I wish I were joking. I mean, really. It quotes Chavez in the aftermath of the defeat of the referendum that would have made him a dictator: "The people's decision will be upheld in respect of the basic rule of democracy: the winning option is the one that gets most votes." After which Roger Cohen observes: "The United States might ponder those words — not just because of what happened in the presidential election of 2000; not just because the arithmetic of voting has proved unpalatable in Palestine; not just because of the past U.S.-abetted trampling of elected Latin American leaders in Chile and elsewhere — but because democracy was alive and vital in Venezuela on Sunday in a way foreign to President Bush's America."
Foreign to Bush's America? You mean Bush's America where out-of-power Democrats won 32 seats in the House and seven seats in the Senate only 13 months ago? Is there no such thing as an editor at the New York Times?

Choosing Pregnancy Without a Partner
Brenda Levine* always wanted to have children. When she reached her late 30s and still hadn't met her ideal mate, she decided that with the help of a sperm donor and in-vitro fertilization (IVF) she would conceive on her own. As a result she had twins, a boy and a girl, at age 45.
"I did everything that I wanted to do in my life," says Brenda. "I did the traveling for 20 years. And this was next."
For more than a decade, single women choosing to parent without a partner have been popping up in plots of well-known television programs. The phenomenon first appeared on Murphy Brown, then on Friends, and more recently on the television series Jake in Progress. On the show's sneak-preview episode, Jake's female boss grumbles that no man would date a middle-aged woman who's six months pregnant. She adds that the father, donor number 326A, was unavailable.
Whether television has influenced reality, or real events have sparked new program ideas, women on and off the air have decided to opt for pregnancy without a partner. Unlike women who are left alone due to divorce or death of their spouse, these women have consciously made their choice to have children on their own.
In 1997, single mothers delivered 32 percent of the 3.9 million live births in the United States, according to the National Center for Health Statistics. Ten percent of these women were teenagers, and 17 percent of the births belonged to single mothers between the ages of 20 and 29. Today, one-third of all American children are being raised in single-parent homes, headed by the mother, according to the US Census Bureau. Older single women are contributing to the single mother statistic, but for different reasons and with different resources.
"The literature and my experience suggest that women who make a deliberate choice to become moms, whether it's through conception or adoption, are different from people who accidentally become moms," says Dr. Mary Casey Jacob, professor of psychiatry and OB-GYN at the University of Connecticut Health Center. "The women who are choosing this tend to be educated, to generally have strong support systems, predictable income—not necessarily rich—but they're able to afford a home, childcare, and either adoption or medical treatment [assisted reproductive services]."

Suspect Arrested in Sexual Assault Investigation in the Village of Big Bend
MADISON — On September 21, 2012, the Village of Big Bend Police Department issued an alert through the Wisconsin Crime Alert Network (WCAN) in reference to a sexual assault that occurred a day earlier. The victim had reported being sexually assaulted by an individual who was selling magazines door-to-door the afternoon of September 20, 2012.
The Mukwonago Police Department received the alert, and then contacted Big Bend police to report that a resident had contacted their department to report a door-to-door salesman whose behavior was suspicious. The individual's description matched the description of the suspect involved in the assault in Big Bend. Mukwonago police located a group of door-to-door magazine salespeople who were in the area and worked for the same company as the suspect. This group provided information about the location of the suspect, who was arrested on September 22, 2012, by the Milwaukee Police Department.
"This was the first WCAN alert issued by the Big Bend Police Department, and through an alert citizen and old fashioned police work, combined with new technology, investigators were able to track down a suspect in this case and possibly, prevent further victimization," Attorney General Van Hollen said. "Alerts like this one also serve to warn residents and business owners of possible criminal activity in their area, which shows the WCAN is about preventing crime as much as it is about solving it."
With the WCAN, law enforcement officers issue alerts at no cost to them either by fax, e-mail or text message to individuals and business owners, who may enroll online to receive alerts at a cost of $12 a year. Officers may choose from more than 50 categories, such as pharmacies or convenience stores, when issuing their targeted crime alerts across the county, a multi-county region or statewide.
The Wisconsin Department of Justice has launched, as part of its Public Education Program through the Wisconsin Broadcasters Association, radio and TV spots to promote the WCAN. You can watch the TV spot at the following web address: WCAN Audio and Video

South Korean regulators are investigating Asiana Airlines following a 19 April incident in which the crew of a Boeing 767-300 aircraft did not divert after they observed a warning with the aircraft's port-side engine.
One hour into a Seoul Incheon-Saipan flight, the crew observed a warning light relating to one of the aircraft's two General Electric CF6 engines, says a statement from South Korea's Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, and Transport.
The crew reduced the engine's power, but the warning light remained on. Rather than divert to an airport in Japan, the crew elected to fly on, eventually landing in Saipan four hours later on a single engine.
Maintenance personnel in Saipan later discovered "metal particles" – apparently caused by abrasion – blocking an engine oil filter. According to South Korean official news agency Yonhap, a replacement engine had to be flown to Saipan.
The flight number was OZ603, and there were 253 passengers aboard. The carrier was unable to provide Flightglobal with the aircraft's registration number.
Flightglobal's Ascend Online Fleets database shows that the operator has seven 767-300s and one 767-300ERF. The average age of its 767s is 18 years.
A 47-member committee comprising government officials and experts will be assembled to look into the incident.
The Yonhap report adds that the two pilots involved in the incident have been suspended pending the outcome of the investigation.
The incident will raise further questions about the competence of Asiana's flight crews following the crash of an Asiana Boeing 777-200ER while attempting to land in San Francisco on 6 July 2013. Investigators later attributed this crash to pilot error.

Welden - Many years ago, living in Philadelphia
I became interested in modern art as there were many galleries
and museums there to frequent. I also had some formal instruction
for a very short time at the Print Club. After I retired from
postal work I started to renew my interest in painting and drawing.
Having been a part time musician, I tend to use subject matter
that is related to Jazz music and its environments, although I
do not use music themes in my work entirely. I like to work in
acrylics, inks and various textures to achieve a certain kind
of personal result. I have very much to learn and am grateful
that I am able to do art at this time in life. I find it a very
positive, healthful and entertaining avocation.
My backyard studio is located in Montrose, near the hospital,
across from Medical Arts Pharmacy. I am at the corner of Maple
and Church Streets. Partially wheel chair accessible. 570-278-1886

Sidney Ribeau, president of Howard University, announced earlier this month he would step down amid mounting financial challenges that have plagued the institution many view as the Harvard of historically black colleges. The news has sent shock waves throughout the nation's 105 historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs), and concern over their future is at an all-time high.
In the last few years, black colleges like Howard have faced mounting challenges in funding, management and student recruitment. According to a new study released by the Ford Foundation, in the past four years nine HBCUs have had their accreditation suspended by their accrediting body or have been warned or put on probation. In the last 20 years, five HBCUs have been shuttered.

Thong Tran
Our bodies, aligned and frozen in stature. The indistinct shouting's became faded, enveloped by the stillness of the silence. The countdown began. A second, but hours, they were. The muted chanting's, nothing more than broken whispers of a hushed chorus. With each hollow resonance, the man in khaki shirt inched his gun further and further as he aimed the sky. He clutched the handle tightly and squeezed the trigger. The bang reverberated for seconds as entrails of wispy smoke flowed endlessly from its mouth. Gone was the haunting odiousness of the calm. A resounding presence so deafening, its reality conquered the distortions of time and sound. In an instant, our leading arm and leg sliced the atmosphere. Like machines of memory mimicry, our strides were bountiful, but equal nonetheless. We battled measures of inches as the torrent winds became resistant and a factor against fatigue. To my left, a slow of weary anguish as the distance became greater until he was visible at blinds eye no more. To my right, a constant fluidity of mechanics that showed no signs of slowing, but instead, increase. Titans, we were. Warring for the smallest gain as the finish line stood a beacon of end. With a shutter of an eye, we slowed and a surge of overlapping cheers followed.

I hope its good, its an aggressive price point, the tablet market needs some competition to get me a better iPad!
Amazon Kindle Fire -- Android software meets PlayBook hardware meets iPad content?
Rumor has it word that Amazon's rumored 7-inch tablet will be known as the "Kindle Fire", and in addition to a forked version of Android software, it might also be using a reduced cost version of the BlackBerry PlayBook hardware.
TechCrunch scored the name Kindle Fire, and says Amazon won't be ready to release it until the second week of November. Ryan Block from GDGT further broke down the reasons TechCrunch felt inclined to compare the form-factor of the Kindle Fire to that of the Blackberry Playbook:
My sources tell me that RIM originally outsourced much of the hardware design and production of the PlayBook to mega-ODM Quanta -- a company that builds, and sometimes helps design, hardware for name brands. The time eventually came that Amazon's executives decided to do an Android tablet -- far likelier to respond to the dark-horse success of the Nook Color than to the adjacent success of the iPad -- Amazon's own Kindle group (called Lab 126) apparently opted not to take on the project, in favor of continuing to work solely on next-gen E-Ink-based devices. From there, Amazon's team determined they could build a tablet without the help and experience of Lab 126, so they turned to Quanta, which helped them "shortcut" the development process by using the PlayBook as their hardware template.
Block seems worried about this "shortcut" move by Amazon on the hardware, but TechCrunch asserts that the user-experience is top notch thanks to custom Android software running the tablet. Regardless, it's an interesting pedigree to say the least.
Amazon has also apparently been working on last minute content deals with Fox for streaming movies and TV shows, and the tablet is expected to include their MP3 service and Kindle bookstore next to a proprietary Android Marketplace. Additionally, AllThingsD says a few big-name magazine publishers have signed on to provide content for the device.
When Amazon unveils its new iPad-like device on Wednesday, it will have the backing of at least three of the big magazine publishers: Hearst, Conde Nast and Meredith all have deals to sell digital versions of their titles on the new device, according to industry sources.
And then there's the pricing issue. It was previously speculated that Amazon would price the tablet at around $250 with the inclusion of a free Amazon Prime membership, which comes with their popular streaming video service and free shipping on all products across the site. It's now believed that Amazon may sell the Kindle Fire at $300 with Amazon Prime included, with another option available at $250 without the service.
We'll have to wait and see after the announcement on Wednesday, but so far the rumor buildup has my curiosity piqued. Could this actually be the first real iPad competitor everyone has been waiting for, or will it only grow the still maturing tablet market even more?

Amazon Kindle Fire -- Android software meets PlayBook hardware meets iPad content?
I doubt it is going to be an iPad competitor. It sounds more like a more usable Kindle with audio and video streaming. That sounds great for the Kindle market, as even adding a touch-screen would be quite beneficial (I only worry about weight). It doesn't sound much like an iPad though... an iPad is considerably more. They do have a basic tablet form factor in common I guess.
one year of prime? or prime is included, wam bam thank you ma'am? I'd gladly stop paying yearly for prime for the cost of this tablet.
If released as speculated, the Kindle Fire...
...is not an iPad Competitor because it will be unable to do a large number of things and iPad can do.
...is an iPad Competitor because it some (a lot?) of people will buy this instead of an iPad.
The iPad itself cannot do half of what a laptop can do, costs a lot more than half of a generic windows laptop...and yet it has had a huge impact on laptop sales, because consumers have found the half-of-a-laptop the iPad offers a great value.
The question is not "will the Kindle Fire be as good as an iPad?" It won't be. The question is "will the half-of-an-iPad the Kindle Fire offers be enough to eat into iPad sales significantly?"
Very good points, that's actually a good way to look at it. For under $200 you have to admit that's a real good value for your money. Sure, it doesn't have the specs the iPad does (and of course nowhere near the price tag) but some people just want something simple and affordable that works. It's no comparison to the iPad, but I can see a big market for something like the Kindle Fire to be honest.
I liked reading this. If you want, check out my own website.
I thought new applications for iPad were supposed to support all orientations. However, after installing some games on iPad I realized that this was not the case. I am confused. This was specifically underlined in Apple's Development Program as a must. Any thoughts on this?
Thank you for another magnificent post. Where else could anyone get that type of information in such an ideal means of writing? I've a presentation next week, and I am at the look for such information.
Why there's no link to install it on iPod Touch 2G ??


text: Tender Peach (26) Rouge Volupte Lipstick ($34.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a light-medium peach with a hint of pink and warm undertones and a glossy shine. It had rich, opaque color coverage. The texture of this shade seemed a bit thicker than other shades, so while it applied evenly initially, when you press your lips together, some lines can show. It lasted for three hours on me. Givenchy Beige Plume (102) (P, $36.00) is less glossy, slightly darker. MAC Antonio's Girls (LE, $16.00) is more matte. MAC Sweet & Sour (LE, $16.00) is warmer. See comparison swatches.

A few years ago I read that you can add a switch to the power antenna circuit to control whether or not the antenna goes up and down when the factory stereo is turned on. I was working on my aftermarket power antenna because the mount was loose and figured that particular day would be a good day to add the manual control switch.
You'll need the following…
- Wire stripper/Cutter/Crimper (18ga)
- 7mm socket w/extension or screwdriver-handle-type-adapter
- Flathead screwdriver
- Lighter/Heat gun (if using heat-shrink tubing)
- One 12V automotive switch rated at least 15A @ 12VDC (if lighted, you'll need to add a ground wire)
- 4 to 6 feet of 18ga wire
- 2 feet of black 16ga wire (if using lighted switch)
- Crimp connectors for 18ga wire – 2 butt connectors, 2 female spade connectors
- Crimp connectors for 16ga wire (if using lighted switch) – 1 quick splice, 1 female spade connector
- Electrical tape or heat-shrink tubing
- Wire loom (optional – 1/4″ to 1/2″ depending on personal preference)
There are three wires going into the factory power antenna:
- 12V constant power (+)
- 12V signal power (+)
- Ground (-)
On the antenna-side, orange is 12V constant (+), green is 12V signal (+), and black is ground (-).
The orange and black wires are unimportant – what we are concerned with is the green wire (12V signal power). There is always power (orange), and ground (black) to the antenna, so what does the green wire do? Well, that green wire turns into the 18 gauge pink wire on the largest connector on the back of the headunit. When the headunit is turned on, it sends 12V power through that pink[green] wire into the antenna. The antenna senses 12V power on the green[pink] wire and uses 12V power from the orange wire to raise the antenna. When you shut off the headunit, it removes the 12V power from the pink/green wire, thus the antenna stops sensing 12V power at the green/pink wire so it uses power from the orange wire to lower the antenna (just like how it raises).
By installing a switch enabling/disabling the flow of power on the pink/green wire, you can control whether or not the antenna will receive the 12V power to raise up when the headunit is turned on. If you cut power to the pink/green wire using the switch when the headunit is on, the antenna will simply lower like normal into the down position.
If instead you install a switch on the pink/green, and instead of connecting one end to the pink wire at the headunit, you use an always-on 12V power source (cigarette lighter 12V), you can control whether the antenna is up or down, regardless of the car being on or off. I didn't wire it this way, but theoretically you could do it.
- Start by removing the headunit to expose the area behind it. You can do this by pulling the radio bezel outward and off, then unscrewing the three 7mm bolts holding it in.
- Disconnect the headunit plugs that are clipped in, and set the headunit aside.
- Look at the largest connector on the headunit. You will see the 18ga pink wire that controls the antenna. Separate that wire from the rest of the wires and cut it, leaving a few inches on both ends so you can still hold it to crimp any connectors on & cut off & redo if necessary (you don't want to cut).
- Crimp one butt connector on each end of the factory pink wire. On the other side of the butt connectors, crimp a length of wire from each connector and run it behind the headunit to where your switch will be (I used roughly 2 feet each).
- Crimp two female spade connectors (the kind that slide onto the switch connections securely) onto each of the two wires you just ran.
- If you want to mount it under/in the console, you'll have to remove at least the upper console.
- The upper console is held in by the shift knob (automatics need a flathead screwdriver to pry the retaining staple out, manuals just untwist) and two 7mm bolts under the change holder inside the pocket in the center console. Lift the rear of the upper console and slide it upwards and backwards. If an automatic, you'll want to set the E-brake and put the car into gear (D or 2 usually works) to allow the upper console to be lifted out. There are things plugged into the upper console: the shift selector light (automatic trans – just untwist counter-clockwise), ashtray light (I think? on a manual), and the cigarette lighter (squeeze and pull to remove).
- If you want to add a lighted switch, now is an easy time to add a ground by quick-splicing a black wire w/spade connector on one end to the black wire on the cigarette lighter connector. Connect the switch to the wires, and if it's a lighted switch don't connect power to the ground! Wrap your wires up in the wire loom, hide/mount your switch, tuck the wires-in-loom away securely so it won't move, and reassemble. Test and enjoy!
Here is a pic of the messy wiring behind the headunit. The red arrows point to the pink wire that I cut/spliced. I ran the two lengths of 18ga wire behind the headunit and under the center console to be connected to a switch. The green arrows point to my iPod interface box that has just been hanging there without any problems (Google search for iPod2car).
The red arrows below point to the switch and the switch wiring. I spliced in a ground to the wiring in case I change the switch to one with an LED, and wrapped the three wires in a plastic cable protector sheath or two. It's long enough to reach under the console lid, or to any other potential mounting spot. Right now the switch is wedged between the center console and the carpeting, and is easily accessible yet not easily seen. The excess wiring is wedged securely under the center console. The ends of the wires have crimp connectors covered with heatshrink tubing that simply slide onto any 12v automotive toggle switch.
This is how the switch looks from the outside. Barely visible yet easily accessible.

21 or Older and Mature thread
Post: #71
RE: 21 or Older and Mature thread
A friend of mine asked for some advice earlier.
Her bf who she has been with for nearly 2 years refuses to go out socially with her. He only goes out for special occasions. He refuses as he says going out with her is boring. He goes out with friends,and they invite my friend and he tells her he doesn't want her to go as it's a guys thing. Then later she finds out that his friends girl friends were there. My friend asked me if I thought she was being paranoid about it all,as he has just moved in to a new flat,and has been out with his new flatmates 4 out of the 7 days he has been there,she spent the weekend there and the flatmates asked them to come out and her bf said no.The day she left he went out with them. When she gets upset and brings it up with him,he tells her she is over reacting and being weird.
I told her I thought she had every right to over react and should ask him what his problem was.
What do you guys think?
