A New Jersey man is taking a case of what he calls a violation of his 4th Amendment protection against unreasonable search to the U.S. Supreme Court.
Albert Florence was arrested by mistake in 2005 because of a bench warrant issued for a fine he had paid off years earlier. Despite having documentation of compliance with the court, a New Jersey state trooper arrested Florence during a routine traffic stop as his wife and child watched. Florence then spent seven days in jail.
Florence was reportedly strip searched at two separate jails, despite there being no evidence that he had any contraband or violent behaviors. Florence sued and lost and then appealed to a Philadelphia Court of Appeals, where he also lost.
The courts both ruled that it is not unreasonable to search all incoming prisoners, no matter the charge, citing recent appeals court rulings that found there is nothing in the Constitution that prohibits blanket strip searches of incoming prisoners.
A 1979 Supreme Court verdict in Bell v. Wolfish sanctioned "the practice of body-cavity searches of inmates following contact visits with persons from outside the institution; and the requirement that pretrial detainees remain outside their rooms during routine inspections." That decision was once interpreted by Federal courts to mean that reasonable suspicion must be noted before individuals arrested on minor charges are strip searched.
The American Bar Association has backed Florence in his fight, issuing a brief to the Supreme Court.
Nearly 14 million Americans are arrested each year. Many of these arrests are for misdemeanor offenses or a civil infraction that—like the offense of which petitioner was accused—do not suggest a motive or opportunity to smuggle contraband into a prison. Neither the Petitioner nor this majority of arrestees should be subject to the grave intrusion of a strip search on admission to a detention facility unless there is individualized, reasonable suspicion of possession of contraband.
Florence has been joined in his petition for suit against two New Jersey jails by others who have been strip searched following misdemeanor offenses. In the brief, Florence's attorney outlines other instances in which people arrested for minor offenses were strip searched over the years: Sister Bernie Galvin, a nun arrested in California at an anti-war protest; Bettye Heathcock, arrested in Washington, D.C., for leaving a parking garage because the toll was too high; Karen Masters, arrested in Kentucky for failing to appear in traffic court because she was given the wrong date by the judge; Vivian Anderson Smith, arrested in Maryland for not showing up for a child support hearing. The brief also includes a list of other misdemeanor offenses for which one might be strip searched.
The lawyers also allege in the brief that some officers knowingly conduct unnecessary strip searches because of underlying sadism and desensitization to subjects' humiliation. The brief cites a book by Phillip Zimbardo, The Lucifer Effect: Understanding How Good People Turn Evil, which is based on a study of a simulated prison in 1971. Zimbardo observed two groups of Stanford University students, one designated prisoners and one designated guards, to observe the effects of the manifestation of absolute power of one individual over another. The study lasted only days before the "guards" became so abusive and degrading to their "prisoner" counterparts that the study had to be ended.
Florence's lawyer also said in the brief to the court that 18 states, including New Jersey, prohibit search without reasonable suspicion, further supporting the 4th Amendment to the Constitution.

Pilot Project Approach on Use of Non-Governmental Entities to Implement Section 503 of Executive Order 12873 on Federal Acquisition, Recycling and Waste Prevention
Key Policy, Guidance Documents
Federal Acquisition Regulation
As issued by the Office of Federal Environmental Executive and EPA on April 24, 1998
Section 503(a) of Executive Order 12873 directs EPA to "issue guidance that recommends principles that Executive agencies should use in making determinations for the preference and purchase of environmentally preferable products." Section 503 (b) states that Executive agencies shall use EPA's guidance to "identify and purchase environmentally preferable products" and to "modify their procurement programs by reviewing and revising specifications, solicitation procedures, and policies as appropriate."
On September 28, 1995, EPA issued a proposed Guidance on the Acquisition of Environmentally Preferable Products and Services which includes a series of principles that are intended to guide Federal purchasers as they consider environmental preferability in their acquisition decisions. This proposed Guidance was the culmination of numerous discussions EPA had with staff from key purchasing agencies and departments as well as representatives from industry and environmental and other interested organizations.
In EPA's proposed Guidance (Supplementary Information - Section III (E)), EPA acknowledged the existence of non-governmental entities -- including, but not limited to, environmental standard setting organizations, third party certification programs, environmental labeling or environmental "report card" programs and other environmental consulting organizations -- to which Executive agencies, in appropriate circumstances, may refer for technical assistance1 in meeting the Executive Order goals.
In this paper, EPA suggests a pilot project approach to test the utility of various means of using non-governmental entities to achieve environmentally preferable purchasing goals. This pilot project approach will be publicized through a Notice of Availability in the Federal Register. Ultimately the findings from the pilot project approach will provide practical information to EPA in the development of its final Guidance.
Spectrum of Approaches
First, it must be emphasized that Executive agencies may choose to implement EPA's proposed Guidance without technical assistance from non-governmental entities. A number of on-going environmentally preferable purchasing (EPP) pilot projects are relying successfully on the in-house environmental and procurement expertise of EPA and the partnering Executive agency (e.g., General Services Administration and the Department of Defense). Therefore, this paper should in no way be interpreted as an EPA endorsement of a specific non-governmental entity, organization or program, nor should agencies feel obligated in any way to utilize the technical assistance of such entities.
However, to the extent that the Agencies are interested in tapping the expertise that resides outside the Government, EPA concludes that Agencies, in carrying out existing mandates for environmentally preferable purchasing may use non-governmental entities in accordance with appropriate operating guidelines. Executive agencies should note that they must avoid favoring, without reasonable justification, one non-governmental entity over another. Executive agencies should also inform their personnel about the Federal Trade Commission's Guides for the Use of Environmental Marketing Claims which govern environmental claims made by anyone, including manufacturers or environmental labeling or "report card" programs.
Thus far, EPA has identified a number of different potential approaches for how Executive agencies could use the technical expertise of non-governmental entities in furthering their environmentally preferable purchasing goals. All of the potential approaches described below require that the Executive agencies involved critically examine all information from non-governmental entities. The Executive agencies involved, and not the non-governmental entities, must make all final determinations regarding environmental preferability.
This list of approaches is not comprehensive. Agencies are encouraged to bring to EPA's attention other potential approaches for using non-governmental entities. In utilizing an approach, agencies have considerable discretion in incorporating environmental preferability into procurement decisions. For example, environmental considerations that result in limiting competition or in the payment of a price premium for goods or services may be reasonably related to an agency's definition of its "minimum needs" and therefore permissible.
Approach 1: Use of Existing Information Developed by Non-governmental Entities
Executive agencies' personnel could use existing information developed
by non-governmental entities regarding environmental preferability of
products and services, along with other available information (such as
product performance and price) in defining the requirements for procurements
and making more informed procurement and acquisition decisions. For example,
Agencies might consider undertaking pilot projects to test the utility
of non-governmental entities in the following instances:
a) Executive agencies could examine and evaluate already existing environmental criteria or standards developed by non-governmental entities for products or product categories (as well as for services or service categories), along with other available information, to identify a range of environmental attributes which can inform the agencies' own determinations of environmental preferability. Those determinations of environmental preferability could then translate into agency requirements, or at the very least, important criteria in the evaluation and selection of competing vendors or manufacturers.
b) In buying commercial items off-the-shelf, Executive agencies could inform their personnel to take into consideration environmental information (e.g., environmental claims, product profiles, "report cards", or environmental seals along with accompanying explanation, etc.,) either displayed on the products or provided through product literature or other materials (e.g., newsletters) in making purchasing decisions. This environmental information could be provided by vendors or manufacturers or by non-governmental entities. Executive agency personnel should be cautioned to avoid making their purchasing decisions on broad claims of environmental superiority.2
c) At the request of vendors or manufacturers, an Executive agency could include in its catalogs or schedules symbols from non-governmental entities denoting certain environmental characteristics, provided that (1) these symbols are accompanied by additional information that specify the reasons why a product has been "tagged" with a symbol; (2) the catalogs or schedules clearly emphasize that Executive agency personnel are not required to purchase products or services that are tagged; and (3) procurement officials should not rely on the symbols to make purchasing decisions, but instead, are required to take into account the environmental information underlying the symbol for relevance to the procurement.3 Agencies including such symbols in their schedules or catalogs should ensure that their employees receive appropriate guidance in utilizing this approach. Vendors or manufacturers who choose not to obtain a seal or other symbols denoting certain environmental characteristics from non-governmental entities may nevertheless also request that environmental information about their products be included in the agency's catalogs or schedules.
This option will be piloted on a limited basis so that it can be closely monitored to determine its effectiveness.
d) On its own initiative, an Executive agency could tag products or services in its catalogs or schedules with its own symbol which denotes environmental characteristics that the Executive agency, through its own determination, deems preferable. This symbol could be based on existing information (e.g., environmental claims, product profiles, "report cards", or environmental seals along with accompanying explanation, etc.) available from non-governmental entities or from vendors or manufacturers themselves. This symbol should be accompanied by specific information explaining the basis for "tagging" a product as well as the source of the information. Catalogs or schedules should emphasize that Executive agency personnel would not be required to purchase products or services which are tagged, but are requested to take into account the environmental information underlying the symbol for relevance to the procurement.
Approach 2: Use of Non-governmental Entities as Certifiers of Specific Claims
Executive agencies could require vendors or manufacturers to have specific,
measurable and verifiable claims certified by qualified non-governmental
entities. A product's percentage content of volatile organic compounds
(VOCs), for example, would be considered measurable and verifiable. The
rationale behind this approach is that credible certification by non-governmental
entities (or actual evidence from vendors or manufacturers themselves)
could increase the credibility of claims that may be displayed on products.
Such certification, or a vendor's or a manufacturer's ability otherwise
to prove particular claims of environmental preferability, could be a
prerequisite for competitive consideration.
This approach assumes that (1) no particular non-governmental entity is favored (without reasonable justification) over any other non-governmental entity; and (2) vendors or manufacturers who choose not to be certified by non-governmental entities are provided the opportunity to present credible evidence that their products or services conform to established standards.
Approach 3: Use of Non-government Entities as "Consultants" under Advisory and Assistance Contracts
Pursuant to the competitive contracting process as set forth in the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), non-governmental entities could provide consulting services to Executive agencies. Non-governmental entities may provide advice and recommendations about environmentally preferable purchasing, for example, through the identification of key environmental characteristics of product categories. Under this approach, Executive agencies would define environmental preferability with the assistance of a non-governmental entity on a procurement-by-procurement basis. As per FAR Subpart 9.5, Executive agencies must fully consider the potential for conflict of interest concerns where a non-governmental entity may be unable to render impartial advice or assistance because of private business or financial interests. Also, Executive agencies should make every effort to maximize competition in awarding these advisory and assistance contracts to avoid any exclusive or preferential relationship with any particular non-governmental entity. Finally, the environmental preferability standards developed under this approach could be used as a basis for defining the agency's "minimum needs" in particular procurements and for developing criteria for evaluating competing vendors.
EPA's Suggested Next Steps
One of the key tenets of EPA's proposed Guidance is to have Executive agencies undertake a series of pilot projects that can demonstrate the applicability and workability of the guiding principles as contained in EPA's proposed Guidance. The success of our efforts depends on learning from these pilot projects and sharing the results widely among the different Executive agencies. It is in this spirit that EPA strongly encourages Executive agencies to enter into pilot projects that test the potential approaches for using non-governmental entities as described above. Moving forward with this non-governmental entities pilot approach is desirable for a number of reasons:
- EPA can capture the lessons from the pilots and share them among the
Executive agencies so that there is no duplication of effort;
- we can determine where the use of expertise outside of the government
is appropriate and useful and where it is not; and
- the net effect of creating a market for such EPP services may encourage increased competition among existing and new organizations or programs that can support Federal procurement of environmentally preferable products and services. Ultimately, the results from this and other pilot project approaches will help Executive agencies identify the most effective and practical ways to achieve the goals of environmentally preferable purchasing.
EPA recognizes that any pilot project involving a non-governmental entity
will initially raise practical questions such as which non-governmental
entities are legitimate and are credible and which are not; is there a
need to certify a certifier? While EPA is not currently able to offer
an "approved" list of non-governmental programs best suited
to assist the agencies, it is prepared to provide assistance to Executive
agencies on an individual procurement- by-procurement basis. As an initial
step, Agencies are directed to the list of questions for evaluating non-governmental
entities contained in Section III, [E] Third Party Certification Programs
of EPA's proposed Guidance on the Acquisition of Environmentally Preferable
Products and Services. The list of questions is included as Appendix 1
of this letter.
Specifically, within the context of this non-governmental entity pilot project approach, EPA's Environmentally Preferable Purchasing Program in the Office of Pollution Prevention and Toxics, is prepared to:
- assist Executive agencies in structuring a pilot project involving
non-governmental entities, including providing support to assess the
utility of non-governmental entities on an individual procurement-by-procurement
- seek out and identify non-governmental entities who have expertise
in the area of environmentally preferable purchasing through a variety
of means, such as, but not limited to, Federal Register notices or announcements
in the Commerce Business Daily (CBD). To make such a task manageable,
EPA will identify, with help and guidance from the agencies, a few product
or service categories upon which to focus at first. If successful, further
federal register notices or CBD announcements could be issued focusing
on additional product or service categories;
- assemble a list of product categories for which eco-labeling criteria
and standards have been established, both domestically and internationally
for agencies to consider in developing their own criteria for environmental
preferability. If appropriate, EPA will assist in such evaluations;
- assist Executive agencies in structuring an environmentally preferable purchasing pilot project that does not involve non-governmental entities.
In turn, Executive agencies should consult with EPA when undertaking
pilots which may raise environmental issues beyond their expertise (e.g.,
where a pilot involves consideration of the way a product is made).
Furthermore, Executive agencies who choose to undertake pilots under option 1(c ) should consult with EPA in developing a written process or procedure for the role seals or symbols and the associated information would play in their pilots. For example, agencies should provide clear guidance which specifies the importance of considering the underlying criteria, not the seal or the symbol.
As EPA and Executive agencies embark on these activities, EPA will continue to explore a number of different ways that it can address issues which are raised within the pilot project context more definitively. Executive agencies will be kept informed of developments on these issues. Agencies should inform EPA of their efforts in environmentally preferable purchasing, whether such efforts involve non-governmental entities or not in order to share lessons learned among other agencies and to aid in the evaluation of the pilot projects. In this way, EPA can make EPP concepts more practical for use within the Federal acquisition context. To facilitate this, Agencies are requested to send the attached FAX BACK form. Pilot projects involving non-governmental entities will be evaluated over a period of the next three years. EPA will use the findings from that evaluation to inform the development of its final Guidance.

Appendix 1. List of Questions for Evaluating Non-governmental Entities4
Executive agencies should consider the following list of questions in evaluating non-governmental entities should agencies choose to use the expertise of these programs to pilot different approaches to achieve the goals of environmentally preferable purchasing such programs. Does the program have:
- an open, public process that involves key stakeholders (businesses, environmental and consumer groups, states etc.) in developing its criteria or standards?
- award criteria, assumptions, methods and data used to evaluate the product or product categories that are transparent (i.e., they are publicly available, easily accessed and understandable to the lay person)?
- a system of data verification and data quality?
- a peer review process (with representation of all stakeholders) for developing the standards or criteria?
- criteria which are developed based on a "systems" or life cycle approach (i.e., "cradle to grave")?
- an outreach program to educate the consumer, which includes clear communications to consumers that provide key information concerning environmental impacts associated with the product?
- an established goal of updating standards or criteria as technology and scientific knowledge advance?
- authority to inspect the facility whose product is certified to ensure compliance with the standards or criteria?
- testing protocols for the products that are certified which ensure testing is conducted by a credible institution?
- access to obtaining the seal by small and medium sized companies (e.g., the cost of the seal is not so high as to prevent access by companies)? and
- compliance with the Federal Trade Commission's (FTC) Guides for the Use of Environmental Marketing Claims?
Please Inform EPA about Your Pilot Project Involving the Use of Non-governmental Entities in Environmentally Preferable Purchasing!!
Type of Acquisition/Procurement:
(e.g., small purchase, credit card purchase, competitive bid, etc.)
Product/Service Category:
Please FAX to: Eun-Sook Goidel
1. For example, Executive agencies might seek technical assistance from non-governmental entities to help Executive agencies:
(a) analyze life cycle and multiple environmental attributes;
(b) analyze basic environmental performance characteristics for specific categories of products/services;
(c ) identify environmentally preferable product/service criteria for a given product category based on agencies' core environmental values; and
(d) identify products/services in a given category which meet agencies' predetermined set of environmental performance criteria. Executive agencies are reminded that they must critically examine all information from non-governmental entities. The Executive agencies involved, and not the non-governmental entities, must make all final determinations regarding environmental preferability. [Return to text]
2. The following excerpt from FTC's Guides for the Use of Environmental Marketing Claims illustrates this point:
A product is advertised as "environmentally preferable." This claim is likely to convey to consumers that this product is environmentally superior to other products. If the manufacturer cannot substantiate this broad claim, the claim would be deceptive. The claim would not be deceptive if it were accompanied by clear and prominent qualifying language limiting the environmental superiority representation to the particular product attribute or attributes for which it could be substantiated, provided that no other deceptive implications were created by the context. (From FTC's Guides, (a) General Environmental Benefit Claims, Example 6) [Return to text]
3. The following excerpt from FTC's Guides for the Use of Environmental Marketing Claims provides an example of this point:
A product label contains an environmental seal, either in the form of a globe icon, or a globe icon with only the text "Earth Smart" around it. Either label is likely to convey to consumers that the product is environmentally superior to other products. If the manufacturer cannot substantiate this broad claim, the claim would be deceptive. The claims would not be deceptive if they were accompanied by clear and prominent qualifying language limiting the environmental superiority representation to the particular product attribute or attributes for which they could be substantiated, provided that no other deceptive implications were created by the context.

Product Details
Cadillac Escalade 2002-2008, Pro 5R Air Filter by aFe®. The Pro 5R air filter provides increased airflow to your engine without sacrificing filtration ability. The increased airflow allows your engine to make more power, and have better throttle response and fuel mileage. And with a 98.6% filtration efficiency rating, it outperforms most other cotton gauze media air filters on the market. Get the best of both airflow and filtration, with the aFe Pro 5R.
- Improves airflow and engine performance
- Provides superior air filtration and engine protection
- 98.6% filtration efficiency rating
- 30% deeper pleats than comparable aftermarket filters
- Washable and reusable
- Economical
- Extended service intervals
- Backed by a limited warranty
- Proudly made in the USA
The aFe Pro 5R air filter was designed to provide the maximum airflow possible, to enable your engine to make the most horsepower and torque. But aFe didn't achieve this by ignoring engine protection. The Pro 5R outperforms most other cotton gauze air filters with a 98.6% efficiency rating.
The increased airflow and high filtration capability are the result of the Pro 5R's construction. It's made of 5 layers of progressively finer medical-grade cotton gauze. Competitors use constant size mesh gauze in their filters, which creates voids/openings that can allow dirt to pass through. As the progressively finer layers of gauze are stacked in the Pro 5R, the randomness of the openings increase, minimizing spaces with no filter media. Dust accumulates on multiple layers, increasing overall dust holding capacity and filtration efficiency.
The pleats in the Pro 5R are evenly spaced for greater dust holding capacity and the tips are rounded for better airflow. They're also 30% deeper than comparable aftermarket air filters for longer service intervals and greater dust holding capacity.
The sealing surface and supporting structure of the Pro 5R are made from 100% polyurethane, to withstand extreme engine temperatures. Flat panel filters are constructed with 4 sides, not just 2, for added rigidity and seal support, and feature a progressive bump seal to ensure an airtight seal.
The Pro 5R isn't only less restrictive and more efficient, it's also more economical. Under normal driving conditions it won't need servicing for 25,000 to 30,000 miles. Since a typical OEM paper element should be replaced every 15,000 miles, the Pro 5R will pay for itself before the first service is required. And since the Pro 5R can be washed and reused repeatedly, you'll never have to buy another air filter, ever.
Direct factory replacement Pro 5R air filters are backed by a limited lifetime warranty. Universal clamp on filters have a 2-year warranty while racing filters have a 1-year warranty.73.95Brand: aFe Part Number: 10-10005 UPC: 802959100059 This part is compatible with 45 vehicle(s)
aFe® (Advanced Flow Engineering, Inc.) manufactures performance products for late model cars, light trucks and SUVs. The company was founded in 1999 with an initial concentration on high performance air filters. Since then, the company product line has broadened to include cold air intakes, fluid filters, exhaust systems, intake manifolds, intercoolers, programmers, differential covers, transmission pans and throttle body spacers.

By KEVIN SCANNELLSun Advocate reporter
Two area residents died when the bullet bike they were riding skidded off U.S. 6 at the first curve on the west side of Wellington and landed near the railroad tracks early Friday.
The Carbon County Sheriff's Office identified the victims as driver Paul Simmons, 33, of Lawrence, and 27-year-old Krista Mower of Price. Simmons was owner of Extreme Automotive in Price.
The bike was spotted at 2 a.m. in Price near 100 North speeding on city streets. Price police pursued but when the speeds approached 100 mph they stopped their pursuit and the bike disappeared.
A short time later it reappeared speeding near the Smith's parking lot and the police chased the bike again, and again discontinued the chase for safety reasons as the bike headed east on U.S. 6 toward Wellington.
Carbon County Sheriff's deputies pursued at that point but when the speed of the bike got to 125 miles per hour, they also dropped the chase. The biker reached a known top speed of 134 miles per hour, according to Capt. Guy Adams. At one point, however, the biker reached a speed so fast radar was unable to determine how fast they were going, Adams said.
As county authorities patrolled Wellington to see if they could find the bike and its riders, dispatch got a call at 3:20 a.m. from a conductor on a Union Pacific freight train that reported that they thought they had just run over a body on the tracks.
Upon investigation two bodies were found near 400 West in Wellington. Simmons had landed near the tracks. Mower was apparently thrown from the bike and hit a utility pole. Simmons was not run over by the train, Adams said.
The motorcycle itself came to rest off the side of the grade with its light still on. Adams said the bullet bike was "almost disintegrated" when authorities arrived on the scene.
Adams said authorities will usually stop a chase when the speeds endanger deputies in pursuit or traffic in the area.

Wednesday, April 13, 2001
On Wednesday evenings, my Zen practice is to proofread or "second edit" the talks of my teacher, Zoketsu Norman Fischer. I am sitting in my living room right now, while hubby Joe and a few others are sitting in the zendo. Sometimes this separation from the Desert Mirror sangha feels a little weird to me, and sometimes it feels OK.
Lately – for months now – I haven't been in the zendo hardly at all, even on Monday nights, because I have been and continue to be pretty sick. I have a damaged immune system, and we have ordinary mold and fungus living in our heating/cooling ductwork, and the combination is not a pleasant one. My symptoms are kind of like a combination of having the flu, bronchitis, asthma, chronic fatigue, and bad allergies, all at the same time. It's a real roller coaster ride, not only from one day to the next, but even from one moment to the next. Talk about your major practice opportunities!
This evening I've been proofing a very interesting and important talk, on gender dynamics in our practice. This particular talk of Norman's was motivated by the two big sex scandals in our national American Zen community, and by some much subtler gender issues that have been raised by women in our Everyday Zen sangha. For the record, although I feel embarrassed by these very public scandals being associated with American Zen, I know that sex and power issues almost always go along with charismatic leadership, religious or otherwise. And I am proud of the conduct of my current lineage peers and teachers.
The great talk that Norman gave on gender dynamics (which hopefully will be posted soon on the Everyday Zen website) also gave quite a bit of focus to our overall intentions as a practice community. In our Soto Zen tradition, Norman said, "warm and personal relationship is at the heart of our practice. Trust in one another. Affection for one another and mutual commitment together is at the heart of our practice . . . Our way is a simple, warm-hearted way. I think it is the way of love. We become really close to one another in the dharma. We become good friends as we go forward practicing together."
But, he continued, "with this emphasis on love and warmth and human relationship, maybe there are also some problems. Sometimes when people love one another, we can hurt each other more. Maybe the possibilities for misunderstanding actually increase when you have expectations of one another in love and warm relationship. Maybe we don't intend these misunderstandings, but sometimes they happen anyway."
So Norman is acknowledging both the joy and the sorrow inherent in human relationships. This is what we try to do in Zen: When we talk about one side of something, we try to also hold up and give attention to the other side. We do our best to include all aspects in our view of things; but we know that we are always leaving something out.
The talk culminated with Norman quoting part of another talk given by Chris Fortin, a woman Everyday Zen priest who will soon be receiving dharma transmission (full teaching authority). The last paragraph of the Chris Fortin quote kind of sums up our whole practice intention:
"With a faith that makes us vulnerable, that humanizes and connects us, we vow not to turn away from what is uncomfortable. This is ferocious vulnerability. Practice awakens our hearts and minds to the wisdom and compassion of the buddhas. It cuts through limiting discriminations and self-centered views – the root cause of human suffering."
Let us practice this way together, shall we?
Love, Russ

Hey all. Just signed up for the site today and was wondering if you had any advice on good places to look and buy antiques/collectables. I'm in N. NJ, 5 minutes outside NYC. I'm interested in "most things antique" and don't really have an idea of what I like until I see it.
Any good places online to look? Ebay? Goodwill? Is there some fantastic antiques site only experts know about? My budget certainly is limited so original Monet paintings and things are a tad out of my league. Thanks for the help.

Welcome! Besides Worthpoint's own GoAntiques I would also recommend Ruby Lane for Antiques ... it's a really great Internet site to browse. As for real world places to look and learn about Antiques, check out Auction Zip. You can personalize a search by radius from your zip code and by Search term(s), and you can sign up for emailed listings of upcoming Auctions and Estate Sales. It's a great introduction to the Auctioneers in your area of the country. Good Luck!

Submission 3TB hard drives square off aginst everything else->
crookedvulture writes: Last week, Western Digital announced its intention to buy rival drive maker Hitachi. Interestingly, those are the only two companies with 3TB hard drives available for sale. The Tech Report takes a closer look at how the two models compare with each other and over 30 different hard drives and SSDs. The resulting data paints a detailed picture of the storage landscape and is worth skimming for anyone curious about how spindle speeds and flash memory impact performance, power consumption, and noise.

Sun Advocate reporter
This evening East Carbon residents were without adequate water for nearly three hours as city maintenance crews fought a main break in the municipality's culinary water system. According to East Carbon employee Burt Krauss, the break was caused by aging infrastructure which simply gave way to decades worth of pressure and winter cold.
The known leak at 163 Grassy Trail became a full blown break at approximately 5 p.m. Monday night causing city water pressure to drop off instantly. Local maintenance crews immediately jumped on the situation, blocking off the area for traffic safety and using a portable public announcement system to inform residents of the problem.
By approximately 8 p.m. East Carbon crews has dug through six feet of asphalt and frozen earth, located the leak and bypassed the problem. Due to falling temperatures, the department elected to restore water to the city's water pressure via bypass and repair the broken main on Tuesday morning.
Residents experiencing additional water issues are urged to call the local dispatch office for assistance at 637-0890.

The Road to Meaningful Choice - Are We There Yet?
At Lotame, we've spent a lot of time and resources working to provide consumers with meaningful choice when it comes to their data usage in connection with Lotame's services. And more generally, we have dedicated the lion's share of our industry-wide collaboration over the past two years to this objective. So, as we motor along on the journey towards an even more data-driven digital future, we need to ask the age-old travel question in relation to our meaningful choice goal: Are we there yet?
In response, I would say "yes" and "not yet." On the "yes" side, notwithstanding the often sensationalized press stories, steady barrage of advocate criticism, and periodic industry hand-wringing, there are now a plethora of privacy management tools available to consumers willing to invest in evaluating and acting on their choices. The industry has successfully rolled out a sophisticated enhanced notice platform, which is increasingly appearing on display ads around the Internet. This is no small feat given the industry-wide coordination and technical mechanics required to provide granular notice and choice options on a dynamic, standardized basis. In addition to this industry program, several other players in the marketplace offer consumer choice tools ranging from emerging Do-Not-Track options embedded within browsers to a gaggle of new consumer data management services. So if you (as a consumer) want to implement constraints around how your online data is collected, used, and shared, you have the tools available.
On the "not yet" side, we still have a way to go with the self-regulatory program. We need to effectuate much broader adoption and initiate real enforcement actions against companies who don't comply. A recent study of top websites found that only 11% of ads served by third parties contained the enhanced notice "Ad Choices" icon. Even if industry players debate the methodology of the study, we've got to quickly increase that number to demonstrate that the self- regulatory program can be a comprehensive choice solution for consumers. We also need to keep extending the self-regulatory program to apply to all major ad types, including video, rich media, and mobile ads. Of equal importance to the self-regulatory program, we need our industry groups (not just outside "researchers" and advocates) to surface and curtail the atypical, on-the-edge practices that don't align with industry standard—recent controversies over flash cookies, supercookies, and history-sniffing come to mind—so that consumers, advocates and regulators don't feel like we are playing a privacy shell game.
Can we get there? I continue to believe we can, led by the new and growing breed of companies offering privacy management tools to both consumers and businesses. As part of getting there, all of us as consumers will also need to accept some responsibility for using the tools available to us and for acknowledging the trade-offs involved when our data is used to improve and subsidize the services from which we benefit. Is new legislation necessary? I don't think so. I have serious concerns about the unintended consequences that will follow from any government effort to legislate choice mechanisms or further standards. New legislation will shackle a very dynamic and productive industry to backwards-looking technology and standards, putting the brakes on one of the few high-growth sectors in our economy. Imposing regulated restraints on data flow will also serve to artificially lock in an insurmountable lead for the biggest digital players who already sit on mountains of data (think search and social networking) which will ultimately be a disservice to consumers. What about reining in the "edge" practices that keep surfacing? As I said, we as an industry need to take the lead in ferreting these out. And regulators can already act on unfair or deceptive practices that don't reflect broader industry standards. (I am intrigued by the recent comments from White House official Danny Weitzner about a new approach to implement "privacy law without regulation" which wouldn't impose additional burdens on businesses with responsible privacy practices, but will need to see more details to understand whether this new approach changes my assessment above.)
Anyone who's taken a long car trip with kids knows you don't answer the "Are we there yet?" question just once. In this case, the same dynamic applies. We'll need to keep asking and answering that question as it relates to meaningful choice and by doing so, we'll continue to find ways to improve how we educate and empower consumers.

Hi all,
How do I go about executing a sql file, which is already on my webhost with phpmyadmin (also installed on the host)?
It's a 30mb file, hence I don't want to upload from my own terminal...
I figured it would be much faster if it was already on the same box...
I just can't figure out the file location to put in phpmyadmin SQL function.
the SQL file contains tables and the data to populate them..

wow way to kill a mood i was about to try the game out too....
Uh, you do know that if you set it to "User mode" you can change resolution settings.
I've seen a couple threads (maybe not on this forum, but around the net) with people complaining "doooh it makes no sense... I don't even know what to do... blah blah blah"... Has anyone faced this problem? Because the rediculously straight forward trainee camp got me to level 10 in no time, no problems, and enjoying myself 100% the entire time. I think this game is a great game for a F2P... and its pretty new still. I always say give new MMO's a chance... a few updates could turn the whole project for the better (for those of you who hate it of course). As of right now, the grind is a little boring I will give it that much, but the way job points are used and stuff... I like that. Needs more skills as well... all in due time though! thats my ramble for the night

this is jus for kicks... if sum1 notice sumthin...
the graphics are superb for a free game if u have a great comp spec to push the potential of the graphic to teh max! however the game itself sucks! what makes me lost interest about this game is that the moves/skill animations are shiiety! all with white lighting cover the charecter.
most shiiety mmo ever played = archlord
<I Love Tiina>
so he always said games were bad!!!!! why he played the games over and over again????????????????????????????????????????????? ???????????????
well maybe cause all the games you try are f2p? if you want a truly good game its gotta be p2p or at least b2p. the only f2p game that is good with races,classes,professions, is shadowbane and it used to be p2p but it then went f2p. and its not that great because they actually post all the spells available to each class, it doesn't have that many abilities and spells in the game...

atleast pokemon has a storyline >_> this thing takes up like tons of space and the reward is gettin bored after 10min...
i don't found this game interest me much...
read his post before you post he's saying that only because he can't change resolution.

Just Where The Hell Is Either God Or Jesus When They Are Really Needed?!
This past Sunday night, the National Geographic Channel aired a program based on the documented facts that there were 42 failed attempts to kill Hitler in: 42 Ways to Kill Hitler.
While attempting these 42 failed assassinations to kill this monster; six millions Jews, Jehovah Witnesses and other "undesirables" died in Nazi concentration camps along with millions of civilians and hundreds of thousands of soldiers.
When I was a student at Columbia Theological Seminary, the bottom floor of the school's library housed stacks of books (many written by Jews) trying to explain or deal with the crimes against humanity of Hitler and the Nazi forces in World War II.
If there is a God seated on his Royal Throne in Heaven, why did he not let at least 38 of these assassination attempts succeed since the death of Hitler could have stopped the Nazi machine or the latter of the 38 attempts would have ended the war?
In fact, the documentary noted Hitler consider himself immortal and protect by God. Plus, after 42 failed attempts on his life, Hitler was allow to end his life on his own terms and when he was ready to.
Here are a few basic questions:
If there is really some God of love watching over his creation, why did this God leave millions of his chosen / Covenanted people to suffer and die horrible deaths?
Why did thousands of Christian Jehovah Witnesses also died in Nazi concentration camps?
If God is "teaching us a lesson" what is it? He does not exist? He is now dead? He dose not / can not answer prayers? He wants his believers to prop him up theologically? Is he is doing some sort of religious test on believers?
And just what the Hell was Jesus doing as hundreds of millions of Christians cried out to him for help daily?
Christians, you have your work cut out for you now. It's time to create
some major theological excuse!

I agree, cross promotion is a great idea. But the last two iWPS events, especially the most recent iWPS are not typical of this event. They are, however, typical of this economy.
I know I'd be glad to pay an extra $10 on my IWPS registration if everyone else would too; then we'd have $600-700 with which we could offer international competitors a tad bit of assistance.
Every time someone has a project that interests them, they suggest an extra $10 added to registration for some event. It just doesn't work that way. An extra $720? Cool, let's prioritize that against all of PSi's other financial needs.
This is cracking me up.Jess wrote:Would we accept bids from Pilot to hold iWPS in Paris?DetroitPhoenix responded:I don't see why we wouldn't. We reviewed a bid from Toronto.I know what you mean but equating Toronto with Paris in terms of 'being international' is funny to me from over here in the faaaaar off land of Canadia. Just amusing. No offense.

The Maids
Directed by Christopher Miles, The Maids is a 1974 film version of the play by French absurdist writer Jean Genet. Solange (Glenda Jackson) and Claire (Susannah York) are two sisters who work as servants for a strict Madame (Vivian Merchant). When Madame and Monsieur (Mark Burns) leave the house, the two women enact dramatic role playing games. To get out their sexual frustrations against their boss and each other, they alternate the parts of master and servant. They both love and hate the Madame passionately enough to plot her murder. During a particularly intense game of play, Claire accidentally drinks the poison that was meant for the Madame. The Maids is part of producer Ely Landau's American Film Theatre Series, which ran in select theaters from 1973-1975. In 2003, all 14 films in the series were given a wide release on home video from Kino International.~ Andrea LeVasseur, All Movie Guide

|GPS Tracker Leads To Suspect's Arrest
|Written by Steve Frank
|Tuesday, 22 October 2013 12:10
Sometimes solving a crime is less complicated when the suspect wears a tracking device. That was the case for Boone Police in the October 17th, arrest of Jason Lynn Brown, 30, the Zionville man charged with two counts of felony Breaking and Entering a Motor Vehicle, three counts
of misdemeanor Larceny, two counts of felony Financial Card Theft and three counts of misdemeanor Financial Card Fraud. The police release says Brown is alleged to have broken into two vehicles at the Harris Teeter parking lot, stealing several items, including credit cards. Then Brown used those cards to make purchases at Little Caesars and Wal-Mart, according to Boone Police—all the while, Brown, who was on probation, was wearing a GPS tracker. Investigators were able to utilize GPS records and video surveillance to identify Brown and connect him—and his path—to all the crimes. Jason Lynn Brown was set a $3,000 secured bond pending a November 21st court appearance.

By TERRY WILLISSun Advocate writer
Dreams are funny things. I am not always sure what precipitates the things that pop into my head during dreams.
Last night, actually more towards morning, I dreamed that someone challenged me to name all the presidents that have served while I was alive. Weird, but I started doing it. I woke up as I was working on the list and then became obsessed with getting it right.
I didn't have too much trouble, except mixing up the order of a few that served while I was a teen. Politics weren't much on my radar then.
It did get me to thinking about how my political views have been shaped and changed by the list. I was born when Eisenhower was the commander-in-chief. Nothing to remember there, I was just too little.
But my first recollection was of the Kennedy's. I was in first grade when he was shot and my father came to get us at school. He cried as he drove us home. We didn't understand and it kinda scared us.
The Vietnam war was a staple in our lives and my parents were very critical of Johnson's administration. They were Republicans. It shaped my views of war.
I was in junior high as Nixon ran for office. I knew my parents were voting for him. My friends and I made fun of each other's parent's choices. Hubert Horacio Humphrey was a very funny name for us to taunt with. Of course so was Spiro Agnew for the other side.
I began to follow politics a bit and thought Nixon was a bit slimy as he approached his final days of office. We all ran around waving the two handed victory sign at each other to mock him.
But Ford seemed nice and always provided us a bit of comic relief. Mostly I remember TV bits of his wayward golf shots and his stumbles as he got off planes. "Saturday Night Live" began to shape my mind's window of the presidency.
I was married to a "lost hippy" during the Carter years. Despite being raised in a Republican household, I was registered as an independent and still found the middle was where I identified. H1 and I were not always in political agreement (or for that matter on many other things).
I like Carter, but he just didn't have the public appeal to serve a second term. The oil embargo and failed hostage rescue in Iran doomed him. I think his real legacy will be the work he has done since his presidency.
Reagan was despised by the left. I was living surrounded by many on the liberal left at the time. Doom and social collapse was prophesied. It didn't happen. But, the trickle down economic policy didn't trickle any wealth down to me or any one I knew either.
George H. Bush's administration didn't do much for my economic situation. It just seemed more of the same, but with a less media friendly president to try and sell it.
Clinton seemed to kick start things on an economic front. Economically things were looking good for many.
Environmental issues were being addressed. But morally, I was disgusted by his personal habits.
George W Bush just plain went against so much of what I wanted to see happen in our country. The 9-11 tragedy, war and economic collapse seems to be his legacy. The radical swing to the political right scared many of us.
Now we have again swung back leftward as a nation. I am still pretty happy with the direction we seem to be heading, but there is a lot of time left in this term to see.
There is more to every one of these presidencies than I sum up here, but this is my journey. I am humored by those who are preaching doom and disaster, just as the left did during Reagan. We will swing along as a country back and forth, right and left.
I sleep at night, no matter who is in office. Hopefully my list will grow longer and our country will stay strong and vibrant as it rocks its way through history.

Although we use vegetable oil for frying in our recipe, red palm oil is the preferred frying medium in Africa. And traditionally the black-eyed peas are skinned, but we think you get more bean flavor if you leave the skins on (and save a lot of time as well).
YIELD: Makes about 40 fritters
ACTIVE TIME: 45 min.
TOTAL TIME: 1 hr
- 1 cup dried black-eyed peas
- 2 red bell peppers, chopped
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 1 medium tomato, chopped
- 1 teaspoon minced fresh habanero chile (with seeds)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup vegetable or peanut oil
- 1/2 to 1 teaspoon dried shrimp (optional), ground
- 1/2 medium onion, finely chopped
- 1/4 teaspoon minced fresh habanero chile (with seeds)
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 6 to 8 tablespoons water
- 6 to 8 cups vegetable or peanut oil
Prepare peas:
Soak peas in water to cover by 2 inches for 8 hours. Drain in a colander.
Make sauce:
Purée bell peppers, onion, tomato, chile, and salt in a food processor.
Heat oil in a 10-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then cook purée over moderate heat, stirring, about 8 minutes. Stir in ground shrimp. Cook, stirring occasionally, until most of liquid is evaporated, 3 to 5 minutes more.
Make fritters:
Purée drained peas, onion, and chile in a food processor until as smooth as possible and blend in egg and salt. Blend in 6 tablespoons water until smooth and fluffy, adding remaining 2 tablespoons water if necessary to form a batter just thin enough to drop from a spoon.
Fry fritters:
Heat 2 inches oil in a 4-quart Dutch oven or a wide 4-inch-deep heavy pot until a deep-fat thermometer registers 375°F, then gently drop batter by tablespoons into hot oil, forming 8 fritters. Fry until golden, about 1 1/2 minutes on each side, and transfer to paper towels to drain. Make more fritters in same manner, returning oil to 375°F between batches.
Cooks' note: Holding tablespoon about ‰ inch away from hot oil and gently dropping batter into oil will help form a uniform fritter.
