Alternate claims jury bias in first Ramparts trial
|(LOS ANGELES) -- The convictions of three officers in the biggest corruption scandal to rock the police department were jeopardized on Oct. 17 when an alternate juror accused the foreman of deciding the defendants were guilty before testimony even began.
The foreman and another juror disputed her allegations and said they stand behind the verdicts.
The alternate also alleged that the jurors often discussed the case among themselves outside court before deliberations began - a violation of the judge's instructions.
Superior Court Judge Jacqueline Connor ordered more testimony on the matter later this month. Defense attorneys said the allegations are sufficient to warrant a new trial. The district attorney's office refused to comment.
The allegations came three days after the verdict in the first trial to come out of the scandal.
Sgt. Brian Liddy, Sgt. Edward Ortiz and Officer Michael Buchanan were convicted of conspiracy and other crimes Oct. 16 involving the framing of gang members four years ago. Officer Paul Harper was acquitted of all charges.
Alternate juror Wendy Christiansen, 30, who did not participate in deliberations, told the judge that on the day the jurors were selected, she had lunch with an alternate and foreman Victor Flores. "A comment was made that he believed the defendants were guilty," she said.
But Flores told KNBC-TV on Friday that he "absolutely" stood by the verdicts and denied concluding the officers were guilty before deliberations. "No, I did not say that; that wouldn't be something I'd even utter because the law says they're innocent until proven guilty," he said.
Christiansen also alleged that throughout the trial other jurors openly said they thought the prosecution's police witnesses were lying when they claimed they didn't remember things. And jurors often expressed their dislike for three defense attorneys, she said.
"Every time we'd come back from being out here (in the courtroom), there were a lot of comments being made about the defense attorneys. They didn't like the defense attorneys. The person they did like was (Joel) Isaacson," she said.
Isaacson's client was the officer who was cleared.
"Whether they like me or not I could care less," said Barry Levin, Ortiz's lawyer. "But whether you like an attorney or not, you can't take it out on the client. The crux of the judicial system is you're entitled to 12 unbiased jurors."

FORT WORTH, Texas — Connor Dietz won't have second lieutenant bars on his Air Force jersey Saturday when the senior quarterback plays his last game with the Falcons against Rice in the Armed Forces Bowl. It's going to be football as usual.
Dietz has been getting some needling from teammates after graduating from the academy a week ago. As the commissioned second lieutenant talked after practice Thursday, Air Force offensive tackle Jason Kons couldn't resist the opportunity to salute an officer. Dietz ignored it and emphasized that he is focused only on playing a top-notch game against the Owls.
"There's nothing different," Kons said of Dietz. "He's still a good leader and he still has a close relationship to us."
Dietz has put aside the euphoria of a week ago, when he completed the long, hard grind of study to graduate from the academy. He participated in the Falcons' bowl-preparation practices before graduation and went home to Ohio for a few days before reassembling with his teammates Monday in Fort Worth.
"There's a little difference for me as far as the weight being lifted off my shoulders by getting a diploma. But the biggest difference is how my body feels," Dietz said. "We don't talk about the graduation. I'm not detached from the team. We're still brothers and we're going out together."
Dietz had been bothered by an assortment of bumps and bruises. But with a month away from heavy contact, he feels fresh.
Dietz's statistics this year are comparable to the senior seasons of the Falcons' previous two starting quarterbacks, Shaun Carney and Tim Jefferson. Dietz has 246 plays for 1,785 total yards (658 yards rushing) in 12 games. Carney and Jefferson each had 336 plays in their senior seasons. Each finished with more than 2,100 total yards.
"They all had their own strengths," said coach Troy Calhoun. "At Air Force, we really have to alter what we're doing to fit the strengths of our players. All three have been fine leaders. Connor's strengths are temperament and quickness."
A year ago at this time, Dietz was on cloud nine. He received an extra semester of eligibility because a football injury suffered during his sophomore year hampered his completion of academic and military assignments. He didn't play much in the four years that Jefferson was the starter, but made the most of his opportunity this season.
"I'm finished with the rigors of this place, but I can't say enough about the opportunities it has given me," Dietz said of the academy.
The Falcons need a victory to finish 7-6, which would be their sixth consecutive winning season. Whatever happens Saturday, the program has left its mark on Dietz.
"Playing football at Air Force will always be a part of my life," Dietz said. "I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world. Coming back this season meant the world to me."
He will be wearing his second lieutenant bars starting Sunday.
Footnote. A snowstorm in the Fort Worth area forced Calhoun to change his practice schedule. The Falcons planned to practice at a high school this week. Instead, they practiced Tuesday and Wednesday at TCU's indoor facility. The Falcons went outside for a short workout Thursday, their last practice of the season. "We emphasized getting our younger players involved more in practice," Calhoun said. "We made sure they got some significant practice time."

Last February's cover story, "I Was Seduced by the New Economy," turned out to be so popular that we decided to do it again this year, but with a twist. In "I Was Seduced by the Web Economy," we focus on the mistakes companies make as they take on the challenges of doing business in a digital age. There are two things I love about this package. First, it doesn't focus on strategy or valuations, unlike most other Internet coverage these days. Beyond that, it has a sense of authenticity that can only come from on-the-ground reporting. Consider the case of NetGrocer.com Inc., which got into trouble and turned for salvation to a retail and merchandising master whose background was in ... laundry detergent.
E-culture club
This month's column by Rosabeth Moss Kanter ("Are You Ready to Lead the E-Cultural Revolution?") marks the beginning of a project we've undertaken with her and a host of other players -- the Harvard Business School, where she teaches; the World Economic Forum, just wrapping up its annual conference in Davos, Switzerland; EarthWeb, an on-line provider of tools and services for IT professionals; Mainspring, an E-strategy consulting firm; and Theglobe.com, an on-line community.
The project will explore how technology is changing the way every aspect of business is being conducted in all types of companies -- large and small, new and old, traditional and cutting edge. To kick things off, we're teaming up with our partners to conduct a survey of corporate leaders around the world. It will provide benchmarks we can use to compare different E-cultures and see how they evolve over time. If you'd like to participate, you can find the survey by going to www.inc.com/poll. We'll publish the results in a future issue, along with commentary by Professor Kanter and articles by Inc. staff members on some of the most interesting cultures and practices we come across.
This month's Upstarts section features Linda Kellogg, the founder and CEO of Start-up Resources, which handles all the back-office work involved in getting a new business off the ground. Strategically located in San Jose, Kellogg's company specializes in helping technology start-ups reduce the crucial period between the conception of an idea and the rush to market. As hot as those companies are these days, the smart money says that services such as Kellogg's will be the next big thing, and not just in Silicon Valley.
Grudge match
If you find the digital economy a little too, well, abstract for your taste, there's a brawl taking place in "Turf Wars." The combatants are upstart FieldTurf and its archrival, AstroTurf, which is owned by the American Sports Product Group and claims 75% of the North American market for artificial playing surfaces. There's nothing abstract about this battle. To all appearances, these guys really don't like each other. What's more, they have all sorts of nasty things to say about each other's products.
Of course, there's nothing new about that sort of competition. It's as American as Monday Night Football. And while it can get pretty ugly at times, I suspect there's a thing or two that young Internet types could learn by watching these two companies go at it.
The anti-portfolio
Need a little comic relief at the turn of the century? Look up the "Anti-portfolio" at the Web site of Bessemer Venture Partners, one of the nation's oldest and most venerable venture-capital firms. There you'll find a listing of some of the companies that Bessemer has decided not to invest in for one reason or another, including Apple Computer, eBay, Intel, Lotus, Compaq, and Intuit. As for Federal Express's Fred Smith, Bessemer said absolutely, positively no to him an incredible seven times.
"Our reasons for passing on these investments varied," says Bessemer in its introduction to the list. "In some cases, we were making a conscious act of generosity to another, younger venture firm, down on their luck, who we felt could really use a billion dollars in gains. In other cases, our partners had already run out of spaces on the year's Schedule D and feared that another entry would require them to attach a separate sheet."
I guess that when you've picked as many winners as Bessemer has lately, you can afford to laugh about the ones that got away.

Johnstown's Clayton Bullard wasn't taking anything for granted Thursday at the Division III state tournament.
The junior had built a 4-1 lead against Versailles' Kyle Dieringer, but Bullard stayed aggressive during the match before eventually winning 8-2 in a 195-pound first-round match at Ohio State's Value City Arena.
"I was really nervous the whole time," Bullard said. "Everyone told me that it was really important to win the first match, so I knew I had to go out and take care of business. ...

I was disheartened to read Rekha Basu's column ("Food Prize Goes Too Far in Honoring Monsanto," June 30). I am dismayed because her analysis is correct, in my view.
The World Food Prize has enjoyed a proud history of honoring those who have given their life's work tirelessly to lift up the lives of millions. Past laureates include eminences working to create a just and sustainable food supply, such as Ray F. Smith and Perry L. Adkisson, co-recipients of the 1997 World Food Prize, "who were among the first to note the harmful environmental and economic effects of indiscriminate synthetic chemical pesticide use." The quote is from the World Food Prize's own website.
Over the years, awarding the prize to scientists such as Smith and Adkisson blunted the reproach leveled at Norman Borlaug (who founded the prize). His plant breeding innovations vastly increased yields in third world countries, saving millions, but resulted in massive loss of genetic diversity. Borlaug likely could not have foreseen that consequence and can be given a pass.
Monsanto is another matter. Monsanto eagerly promotes and sells the very chemicals Smith and Adkisson warned against. The worst of their wrongs is letting the genetically modified organism (GMO) genie out of the bottle. There is no magic wand which can call back living organisms once they are loosed in the environment.

Whiteford 74, Blissfield 52
WHITEFORD — Colin Lake started his quest for another scoring title with a bang. Lake scoring 27 points. He led all players, despite only shootin 9-for-17 from the free-throw line.
Chris Sims scored 6 points and brought down 11 rebounds in the win that coach Jim Ross credits to the defense.
"Chris did a great job for us, taking four charges," he said. "Most of our offense came from our defense. (Zach) Perry had five steals. Lake had five steals."

Please fill out the form below to send a link to this story to your colleagues.
The 2010 National Association for Pupil Transportation (NAPT) Summit, held in the fall in Portland, Ore., addressed with intensity such issues as bullying and bus loading and unloading safety, highlighting the need for continued sharing of information on these topics to maximize student safety on and off the school bus.
Speakers also headed sessions that provided possible solutions to common challenges that pupil transporters face, as well as ways to increase operational efficiency.
Measures to ensure bus loading and unloading safetyPupil transportation consultant and industry veteran Dick Fischer, together with Peter Lawrence, director of transportation at Fairport (N.Y.) Central School District, gave a presentation on safety during loading and unloading.
Lawrence urged attendees to connect with county officials to receive the latest mapping data to ensure districts take into consideration newly built roads, sidewalks and other changes during routing each year.
Fischer suggested that route sheets be tested by substitute drivers, as they will rely on them most during the school year. He told attendees to print text in a large font and mark locations where students must cross the street in bright red.
Transportation managers should also train drivers to evaluate stop safety and report hazards as soon as they arise, the presenters said.
The Pupil Transportation Safety Institute's (PTSI) School Bus Stops Safety Guide and the National School Transportation Specifications and Procedures manual — which "should be on every desk," Fischer said — were among the resources the presenters recommended to attendees.
Among the participants in a panel on bullying was second-grader Chancellor Coger (second from left), who said that people need to listen more to what kids have to say. Coger was a victim of bullying.
Special event focuses on bullying
Some attendees expressed appreciation for Florida father James Jones' newfound dedication to school bus safety and anti-bullying efforts, applauding his comments during a panel. (Jones illegally boarded his daughter's bus in September and threatened students who allegedly had bullied her. He has since been charged with disorderly conduct and disturbing a school function, and has apologized.)
Also present at the panel table was Thomas Built Buses essay contest winner Chancellor Coger. Moderator Barry McCahill asked Coger about the types of bullying he'd seen at school. "People need to listen more to what kids have to say," he began. "When I told my teachers," he said, then began to cry and was unable to finish his sentence.
In a dramatic moment, Jones spoke up. "There are kids like this all over the country, and seeing this brings all the feelings back," he said. After that, comments took on a new level of urgency.
"Bullying is not new, and suicide because of bullying is not new," said panelist Kevin Jennings, who is assistant deputy secretary of the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Safe and Drug-Free Schools. "What I'm hoping is new is this is the moment in history when we as a country say, 'No more.'"
Session offers insight on students with behavioral disordersIn an engaging session, Kathy Furneaux, executive director of PTSI, spoke to attendees about another common problem that pupil transportation professionals encounter: behavioral disorders among students.
She emphasized that when students act out, it is a symptom of their emotional problems — it is not the cause of their emotional problems. In acting out, they are attempting to stop whatever is upsetting them.
To handle students' emotional disorders, Furneaux recommended that pupil transporters turn to parents to find out the root of their children's behavior problems. She also said that it's important for managers to trust their drivers' instincts and observations about students and their actions.
"Students with behavior problems will look to someone they can trust, like a bus driver, to intervene and help them — acting out is a cry for help," Furneaux explained.
She said establishing a behavioral intervention plan is important, and she provided several intervention strategies for drivers. They include keeping students' interest and using "planned ignoring" when students exhibit undesirable behavior.
Workshops cover cutting costs, boosting efficiencyNorth Carolina state director Derek Graham gave a presentation that demonstrated how several school systems in his state have adjusted routing through a funding program that incentivizes efficient service.
Routing and fleet data is collected through a statewide computerized system. "Each district is compared to the highest performing district using real-world data, not some pie-in-the-sky ideal, to create a budget rating for the district," Graham explained. "The incentive is to spend less and operate fewer buses to improve the rating."
Without impacting the number of riders, and in some cases improving ride times, many counties have been able to reduce miles traveled per student and take buses off the road. Staggering bell times and creating hub-style bus stops in neighborhoods have been key measures in their efforts.
Tim Ammon of Management Partnership Services Inc. discussed the benefits of using performance metrics to improve efficiency and explain costs in an operation's maintenance garage. He said that looking at performance metrics helps create a "cheat sheet" for where most costs are generated and the possibilities for inefficiency.
Ammon outlined 10 metrics that operations can use:1. Overall maintenance and repair costs per VEU (vehicle equivalent unit. VEUs should be assigned to all vehicles to set a base level that measures fleet demand).2. Total parts cost: This measures all work going into the fleet.3. VEUs per technician.4. Productive hours per technician. Ammon said this helps determine howmany technicians are needed and what level of productivity to expect.5. Inventory turn rate. (This ensures that parts bought are needed/used.)6. Number of fuel transactions per unit.7. Replacement backlog.8. Average mileage.9. Preventive maintenance compliance rate.10. Vehicle availability.

Ahead of the eagerly awaited online eCommerce Summit on May 27-29, I asked a couple of email marketing experts a challenging question:
"There are so many ways to increase conversions – segmentation, testing, copywriting, deliverability just to name a few. What is the number one (key) piece of advice you would provide to increase conversions for an eCommerce email marketing campaign?"
It was a challenging question and as usual Dave Chaffey of SmartInsights provided some great advice to apply immediately to your campaigns and Dela Quist of Alchemy Worx took a different approach (as usual!) and provided valuable advice on measuring your conversions.
Dave Chaffey, Founder of SmartInsights and expert presenter for one of our eCommerce Summit webinars "10 Email Marketing Trends for 2015" (May 29th 10am BST) says:
"Email marketers get excited about subject lines and responsive designs and rightly so since they're creative and testing these will boost response. But to make an Ecommerce email marketing campaign effective you have to personalise emails based on a solid segmentation and targeting scheme.
Using dynamic content to tailor the hero offer and other panels in the email will pay dividends into the future as you standardise your targeting process. It's best to think through your targeting options as different layers from product categories purchases, position in lifecycle based on Recency and Frequency, current and potential and demographics. See my 6 layered Email targeting options for some examples."
Join Dave on May 29th to discover some great new trends within email which will help your email marketing conversions.
Dela Quist, CEO of Alchemy Worx and expert presenter for our eCommerce Summit webinar "Stop Segmenting Start Personalizing" (May 28th 16.00 BST) says:
"When it comes to conversions there is a tendency for people to try to think in terms of conversion rates. My advice would be to focus on total conversions rather that conversion rates. With the possible exception of revenue per customer I do not value any KPI that tracks or targets rates such as open rate, click rate, conversation rate, even revenue per email. I always advise clients to measure and target totals. Total opens, total clicks, total revenue, total conversions, total unsubscribes etc.
Once you start measuring totals rather than rates you begin to see tactics such as segmentation and deliverability in a very different light"
Join Dela and hear more about on this topic on May 28th in his webinar 'Stop Segmenting Start Personalizing'.
At the ecommerce Summit, I'm presenting 'How to Create a Persuasive Journey' (May 28th 12.00 BST) and my answer to the question is:
"Stay focused on the objective of the email and ensure you take advantage of your role as the Director of the email. Use persuasive elements such as implicit (e.g. line of sight) and explicit (e.g. arrows) visual cues to guide them. Additonally, remember that there are 3 steps within the conversion path of the email:
1: Persuade them to open the email
2: Persuade them to click through to the landing page
3: Once on the Landing page, persuade them to convert to the final objective
The objective of the email is not to convert them to the end conversion within the email, but rather to convert them to take action within the email in order for them to arrive at the landing page – where the actual conversion takes place."
To hear about this in more detail, join me on May 28th to discover more about 'How to create a Persuasive Journey'.
Lot's of great ideas and there's plenty more to come! Join us on May 27- 29 for our online eCommerce Summit which not only features Dr Dave Chaffey, Dela Quist and myself, but also Oli Gardner of Unbounce, Catherine Toole of StickyContent, Justine Jordan and Chad White of Litmus, Olly Beckett of Expedia and more!

Is there any way to overwrite the 65,000 record limit?
Is there any way to overwrite the 65,000 record limit?
"Veni, Vidi, Velcro"
(I came; I saw; I stuck around.)
Maybe I should have been a bit clearer
"You selected more records than can be copied onto the Clipboard at one time.
Divide the records into two or more groups, and then copy and paste one group at a time. The maximum number of records you can paste at one time is approximately 65,000."
I ran a DB and tried to export it to excel.
I knew that.. I am running Office 07. Ill figure it out
I know this thread is a little old, but incase the issue is unsolved or someone stumbles upon it in the future like I did, here is some additional info.
There is not a way to increase the limit. The only feasible method, aside from using something separate from Excel (highly advised), is to draw only 65000 records at a time and then copy/paste them. This is similar to what is called Pagination. After pulling records 1 to 65000, you would then pull records 65001 to 130000. It is a pain, but the only work-around that I'm familiar with.
I figured out that if, when selecting to export to excel, you dont check any of the 3 boxes then the export will run all records.
More specifically, in the export wizard, leave the "Export data with formatting and layout" unchecked and it will export!

November 29, 2015
Brian Vande-Stouwe, 23, of Tucson, Arizona was arrested by Texas A&M University Police after his irate behavior forced the plane on which he was a passenger to be diverted to College Station.
Easterwood Airport Director of Aviation John Happ said he was notified Wednesday evening of a passenger's disruptive behavior on board the Continental Express Jet.
"The first call I got was approximately 8:10 p. m.," Happ said. "That's right after it was called in to the general aviation desk through the tower," Happ said.
He also said that phone call triggered notification of several other agencies.
"We start with UPD and UPD then in turn notifies the FBI, the Highway Patrol. We notify TSA," Happ said.
The first agency to make contact with Vande-Stouwe was University Police. UPD Chief Elmer Schneider said officers were on top of the situation.
"The officers met the subject at the door of the plane and escorted him into the terminal," Schneider said.
The problem began, Schneider said when Vande-Stouwe decided he wanted to get off the plane.
"He apparently had left his seat at some point and had went up and attempted to try to open one of the doors to the plane...to the external plane to exit the plane," Schneider said.
During the police interview, Vande-Stouwe admitted to drinking a couple of alcoholic drinks and smoking marijuana before the Continental flight left Dallas. Schneider said Vande-Stouwe now has to answer for a charge in Brazos County.
"He was ultimately arrested by our department for Public Intoxication," Schneider said.
An official with the U.S. Attorney General's Office in Houston said Vande-Stouwe has been charged with Felony Interference of a Flight Crew and Flight Attendant of an aircraft prompting an emergency landing. He will be transferred to federal custody and is scheduled to go before a U.S. Magistrate judge in Houston on Friday.

It was one of those days when you can remember where you were when you heard something, Barbara Harrison said. "On that day in December 1978, I was standing in my kitchen when I heard on the television news that formal relations were to be re-established between China and the United States. Then President Carter spoke. I don't remember his exact words, but I remember how happy and excited they made me feel. Many years later (in the 1990s), I met President Carter at the U.S. Embassy in Beijing, and I was able to tell him personally that I still remembered the day he made the announcement. It was a moment that still sticks in my mind."

The Chinese New Year (or Lunar New Year) will be on Jan. 26 this year. The lunar New Year usually falls in January or February, but the exact date varies from year to year because it is based on the cycles of the moon (thus lunar) as opposed to the linear structure of the Gregorian calendar.

Slash - APOCALYPTIC LOVE
I've long said it, and I'll continue to say it. Slash is the single most overrated guitar player on the planet. While I definitely acknowledge him as not only a solid player and someone that has a very distinct sound, I really laugh when I see him listed in the same sentences with Malmsteen, Van Halen, Dimebag, Zakk Wylde, Randy Rhoads, etc. If he was that unbelievable, he wouldn't have been able to have been replaced by whatever goof Axl Rose trots out from tour to tour.

VENICE, Italy (AP) - Nicolas Cage says after more than three decades acting in films he has no intention of retiring anytime soon, despite "fantasies of a life of contemplation."
Cage, who is premiering David Gordon Green's "Joe" at the Venice Film Festival, said Friday that he may take off more time between films, "but film performance is a part of me." He called "Joe" ''one of the most memorable" films he has worked on in his career.
The 49-year-old Cage plays the title role, a hard-drinking ex-con whose struggle to maintain control of his life is undermined by his instincts to help a boy, portrayed by Tye Sheridan, living under the crux of an alcoholic father. The film is among 20 vying for the coveted Golden Lion, awarded Sept. 7

On Par for Golf Promotions
While seeing a car on a golf course is not unusual, especially if the prize for a hole-in-one is that car, GLVADA continues to take it to new extremes. Due to the participation of our dealers, GLVADA has featured a minimum of 12 cars for each of the three tournaments we sponsored this summer (so far). Tournament presenters identify our displays as the "Mini Auto Show" on the course. Because of the number and variety of vehicles displayed at each tournament, the cars become a feature of the tournament, rather than an add-on.
At the first three tournaments sponsored by GLVADA this year, 28 different dealerships participated by displaying a vehicle. Several had their vehicle attended by a sales associate handing out business cards. If you have not yet participated in one of the GLVADA sponsored tournaments, you still have time. The Bethlehem Chamber's Walla Gazoo tournament, played at the Bethlehem Golf Club is scheduled for August 19th. If you would like to display a vehicle, please contact Tom Kwiatek at 484-767-8457.
To the right is an example of how the vehicles are displayed and advertised at the various tournaments.

Grace Johnson sings for G.C.R. in this August 2012 file photo.
- Filed Under
Grace Johnson was a bucket of nerves before she took the stage.
But once the 12-year-old started singing, all her fears disappeared. She belted out "Live Out Loud," from the musical "A Little Princess," and took home first place in her age division for the Columbus Children's Choir Voice of the City competition.
Johnson earned $200 in prize money, but the best part of the competition was getting to meet so many new people, she said. She knew a few of the contestants from other singing events, but most were new faces, she said. ...

It makes me a bit annoyed when I find people who feature 100% of their work. I don't want anyone to take offence to this, it's just I think people should bear this in mind when they feature their writing. This is kind of a petition so you can put (sign) at the end of your comment if you want to sign it.
The reason for featuring your writing is to point out what you think is your best work. A decent amount of books to feature, I think is a maximum of 9. Otherwise it gets to cramped. There are people with, say 30 pieces of writing, which are all featured. This can increase the page size by nearly 70% if you don't already have a massive profile.
People feature all their writing because then it is more likely to be featured on the homepage. This can and has caused lots of problems. If everybody featured all of their writing then the homepage might end up with 40% of the featured writings, drafts with loads of errors and mistakes, and a summarry of 'Tell me wat u think of my story'. Do you want this?
Please remember that I am not trying to offend anyone, I have written this for the sake of Booksie.

text: October 23, 2014 Quinn, Gerard A Tagged: Art (1927- ) Northern Irish illustrator, at times credited in error as Gerald Quinn. Sometimes described as one of the "grand old men" (with Brian Lewis) of British sf art in the 1950s, the self-trained Quinn entered the field by successfully submitting his work to editor John Carnell, who then hired him to do numerous covers and interior illustrations for the magazines he was editing, New Worlds and Science Fantasy. His early covers can seem amateurish, but he gradually improved his craft and discovered his forté, realistic astronomical paintings in the manner of Chesley Bonestell. One outstanding effort, for the cover of the July 1954 issue of New Worlds, depicted spacesuited astronauts exploring a moon of Saturn with the enormous ringed planet dominating the sky. Quinn also did occasional book covers, including an intricate rendering of a Space Station under construction for Arthur C Clarke's Islands in the Sky (1952) and a spaceplane on a horizontal launching track for a 1953 edition of Clarke's Prelude to Space (1951). His paintings foregrounding human figures were usually less successful, although his cover for a 1956 edition of Robert A Heinlein's The Man Who Sold the Moon (coll 1950), a close-up of an elderly man's head in a space helmet with a cratered Moon in the background, perfectly captures the spirit of the collection's story "Requiem" (January 1940 Astounding).Quinn continued working for Carnell until he lost control of his magazines in 1964; the artist then did some interiors and two covers for Vision of Tomorrow and, much later, two covers for the Semiprozine Extro, which was published in his place of birth, Belfast, Northern Ireland. There is otherwise little information available about his activities in recent decades.

Combined, the Boilermakers and the Fighting Illini are 1-11 against Big Ten teams.
However, one team – Purdue – remains in the hunt for a bowl game. Illinois, not this year.
Yes, the Boilermakers can still make it to a bowl but can they save coach Danny Hope's job? After Illinois, they host Indiana. It's possible to reach a bowl game for the second straight year but the answer to Hope … we'll see.
I miss Chief Illiniwek
Useless statistical information: The Boilermakers lead the "Cannon Trophy" series 31-26-2. The cannon, which was brought to Champaign, Ill., in 1905 by a group of Purdue students, hasn't been fired since 2001. It is no longer functional. Too bad, it would make for an interesting postgame handshake.
For our gambling friends: The Boilermakers opened as a 4.5-point favorite but the line has climbed to 6.5 and 7, depending on who you know and how many fingers that person has. Purdue has been a road favorite of 3.5 to 7 points only nine times since 1993, and is 7-2 straight up in those games. Meanwhile, the Illini are 0-5 against the spread as an underdog this season.
• Ralph Bolden. That's the running back we watched during the 2009 season and again at the end of last year. Tough runs. Not afraid of contact. A burst of speed.
Surpassed the 100-yard mark for the fourth time in his career. Needs 146 yards to reach 2,000 in his career, which has been riddled with injuries. Just think if he was healthy for four straight years.
• Landon Feichter. Now that the sophomore will be scholarship next semester, will he still play downhill? Not expecting any change from the Fort Wayne native. Leads the team in tackles and interceptions, but has been a workhorse this season.
Takes on running backs and tight ends that have a 20 to 25-pound advantage. Has become one of the keys to the defense.
• Jalani Phillips. Newcomer to the list. Could play a big factor if the health of defensive end Ryan Russell doesn't improve. Did register a sack last week at Iowa, and may be called on to see more action. Purdue's defensive front is banged up, and the options are quickly becoming limited. Phillips remains a raw talent but may need to step up today.
• Nathan Scheelhaase. Had a monster game against the Boilermakers two years ago, collecting 313 total yards.
But that was a different team with different chemistry. Still a dangerous quarterback because he can run. Everyone keeps waiting for Scheelhaase to carry the offense.
• Michael Buchanan. The defensive end is on plenty of watch lists, but like the rest of his team, he's struggled.
Will be a handful for Purdue's offensive line if Buchanan comes to play since his talent translates to him playing on Sundays. Had 13.5 tackles for loss and 7.5 sacks in 2011, but hasn't come close to matching those numbers.
• Mason Monheim. The freshman linebacker has won a Big Ten weekly award twice, including after registering 15 tackles against Minnesota one week ago. He had 11 tackles against Penn State. Leads the Illini in tackles and is an active player, but will need to play at a high level today.
• Are the Boilermakers ready to find some consistency?
• Is the offense better with receivers coach Patrick Higgins calling the plays?
• Will the Boilermakers force another turnover this season? They've gone three straight games without a takeaway.
• Is Tim Beckman the answer in Champaign?
• Will quarterback Nathan Scheelhaase's talents emerge?
• Will Senior Day provide enough motivation?
Follows the blueprint from the Iowa victory – balanced attack, quick start and the ability to respond and make plays.
It all comes together on one afternoon, especially on Senior Day. Forces turnovers and is able to control the line of scrimmage.
Purdue 34, Illinois 16. If you thought the Boilermakers were enduring a bad season, the Illini have it worse. They've been outscored 211-63 by Big Ten teams and haven't been involved in a close game. Illinois has talent, but there's a disconnect, leading to the struggles. Purdue regained its footing against Iowa and must continue to push forward to reach another bowl game. A quick start by the Boilermakers should dash any hopes the Illini have for an upset.

William Lee (English judge)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sir William Lee (2 August 1688 – 8 April 1754) was a British jurist and politician.
He was an MP for Wycombe from 1727 until 1730 when he became a Justice of the King's Bench. Lee was Lord Chief Justice of England and Wales from 1737-06-08 until his sudden death in 1754. He was appointed as Chancellor of the Exchequer as a temporary expedient on 1754-03-08, with his brother Sir George Lee as Under Treasurer of the Exchequer, until April 6. Lord Campbell noted that Lee 'certainly stood up for the rights of woman more strenuously than any English judge before or since his time'.

Uganda Gets One of The Youngest Member of Parliament in The World
by gaby7 on 15/09/12 at 2:44 pm
She was declared winner of the Usuk Constituency in Eastern Uganda by the Electoral Commission with a majority of 11,059 votes, beating nine mature, veteran politicians with a very big margin.
A 19 year old girl was last week elected to the Ugandan Parliament with an overwhelming majority. Proscovia Alengot Oromait is by far the youngest legislator the Ugandan Parliament has ever seen in the august House. Given that the normal age in which people around the world start to engage in politics is on average 30 and above, Proscovia could be one of the youngest parliamentarians in the whole world today.
She was declared winner of the Usuk Constituency in Eastern Uganda by the Electoral Commission with a majority of 11,059 votes, beating 9 mature, veteran politicians with a very big margin. Honorable Proscovia Alengot Oromait replaces her late father who died two months ago. Many believe her fortunes came largely out of sympathy votes from the electorate, given that her father was a very popular politician.
Proscovia Alengot looks visibly young and childish, but she is determined to serve her people just as well as her late father did. She was due to join University but the Ruling NRM part stalwarts identified her as one who could spark off emotions of sympathy and bring success to the party. Many commentators saw the resort to a 19 year old girl by the ruling party as an act of political desperation given that they had been losing a string of bye-elections held in recent times.
According to the Guinness records, the world's youngest known Parliamentarian ever has been MP Anton Abele. He got elected to the Swedish Parliament at the age of 18 for his activism against street violence. The other was a 19 year old Canadian, Luc Dusseault and we can say, Uganda's Proscovia Alengot Oromait has joined the world club of the youngest Parliamentarians.

Rose Lassi, Rose Milk, Rose Thirst Quencher – Recipe
According to the ayurvedic texts, it is not a coincidence that the rose is associated with romance, because it balances Sadhaka Pitta, the subdosha of Pitta that governs the emotions and their effect on the heart. Sadhaka Pitta can go out of balance more easily in summer, when the hot, humid weather increases all aspects of Pitta dosha — the mind-body operator that governs heat, digestion, and metabolism in the body.
So there's a physiological reason that roses have been the ideal gift to express love and forgiveness for thousands of years. They literally soothe the heart and emotions. What may surprise you is that the rose also balances the mind. It enhances the coordination between Sadhaka Pitta and Prana Vata (the subdosha of Vata that governs the brain, head, chest, respiration, sensory perception, and the mind). Other properties are equally surprising.
The rose is cooling, yet it supports agni, the digestive fire. This is a unique quality which makes it balancing for all three doshas. These beneficial properties are not lost on modern researchers, who are investigating the effect of the rose in balancing hormones and supporting overall well-being. Essential rose oils used in aroma therapy are also being investigated for their health-promoting properties.
One traditional preparation of the rose is found in Organic Rose Petal Spread. This product contains dozens and dozens of dried rose petals, making it a concentrated, potent means for balancing the emotions. The recipe for this delightful confection can be traced back to a time when royalty gave jars of rose petal spread to their beloved if they wanted to inspire unconditional love. Later, the tradition evolved into our present-day habit of giving roses on Valentine's Day or just to say "I love you." Organic Rose Petal Spread actually acts as a powerful tonic for the heart. By balancing Sadhaka Pitta, it supports positive emotions, and intensifies the experience of happiness and bliss.
We call it "Love in a Jar," because even if you are angry at someone, you can take a teaspoon of Organic Rose Petal Spread, and it will help you to start thinking more loving thoughts. An ayurvedic expert from The Council of Maharishi Ayurveda Physicians notices this in his interaction with persons interested in adopting Maharishi Ayurveda diet and lifestyle recommendations for better health and well-being. "When I come across a person who is feeling emotionally insecure, a little suspicious or sad for no reason, I recommend that the person take 1-2 teaspoons of Organic Rose Petal Spread before thinking more about the problem. This immediately pacifies Sadhaka Pitta, and right away the person starts to think more positively."
If you have a mild Sadhaka Pitta imbalance, or just to cool your body in summer, you can carry rose oil or a blend such as Pitta Aroma Oil in an aroma locket. Or you could use Blissful Heart Therapeutic Aroma as aroma therapy while sleeping. Organic Pitta Tea also contains roses, and it helps balance Sadhaka Pitta, cool the body, soothe the mind, and settle the emotions. Organic Rose Petal Spread can also be added to milk or can be added to sweet lassi to make a delicious summertime drink. Try these recipes:
Sweet Rose Petal Lassi
- 3 parts water
- 1 part freshly-made yogurt
- 1 heaping tsp. Organic Rose Petal Spread
- Blend together for a soothing summer drink, or to pacify Pitta all year round.
Rose Petal Milk
- 1 cup milk
- 1 tsp. Organic Rose Petal Spread
- Be sure to boil the milk and let it cool before adding the Spread.
Boiling the milk makes it more digestible, but if it's too hot when you add the Spread, it will destroy the rose's delicate properties. You can drink this before bed to help balance Sadhaka Pitta and produce a more restful, sweeter, deeper sleep.
Rose Petal Thirst Quencher
If you are feeling the effects of the hot summer sun, have to skip a meal for some reason, or naturally have Pitta dosha predominating, it can be challenging to keep cool. Any time you feel extra thirsty and dry-mouthed, even when you keep drinking water, try this summer thirst quencher.
- 2 cups milk
- ½ tsp. fennel
- 1 pod cardamom seeds (crushed but not powdered)
- 1 small piece of licorice root
- 1 Tbsp. Organic Rose Petal Spread
- Boil milk and other ingredients, except the spread, for five minutes.
- Let cool to room temperature.
- Mix in one tablespoon of Organic Rose Petal Spread.
- Sip the milk throughout the day. If you are lactose-sensitive, you can use water instead of milk.
The Rose Petal Thirst Quencher is inexpensive and simple to make, but it has many benefits. It works quickly, because you inhale the aroma of the rose as you drink it, injecting every cell of your body with rose essence. It can also help balance acidity. It's a good drink to sip before going to bed in summer, or any time Sadhaka Pitta is out of balance, which can cause you to toss, turn, and wake up before you are fully rested. Anyone who is feeling irritated all the time could benefit from this drink. You could drink it twice a day. This mixture can also support memory, because it promotes the coordination between heart and mind and nourishes the mind with its pleasant flavor and aroma. So it's a healthy drink for people of all ages, from children to the elderly.
For women, sipping this drink before and during menstruation can help stabilize the emotions. It also has a long-term effect, because the Organic Rose Petal Spread enlivens all the body tissues by enlivening the cell-regeneration process, and especially supports the reproductive (shukra) tissues. Finally, because the rose is one of the best sources for water-soluble fiber, Organic Rose Petal Spread and any of the drinks that contain it help cleanse the intestines and alleviate occasional constipation.

The HVA has struck a partnership with the Military Vehicle Preservation Association.
On November 13, 2010, the HVA attended the Military Vehicle Preservation Association (MVPA) Board Meeting at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton, Ohio. The MVPA's 10,000 members form an international organization for military vehicle enthusiasts, historians, preservationists, and collectors interested in the acquisition, restoration, preservation, safe operation, and public education of historic military transport.
HVA board member, Greg Stropes, presented the HVA's mission and objectives and discussed some of the threats facing the historic vehicle community. The MVPA Board of Directors voted unanimously to partner with the Historic Vehicle Association. "We feel the HVA will be a great asset in the MVPA's efforts to monitor and act on legislation that affects the MV hobby," said David Welch, MVPA President. The MVPA, formerly the Military Vehicle Collectors Club (MVCC), has been in operation for nearly 35 years. It is active legislatively through their Government Liaison Committee and lobbying relationships and manages the MVPA Historical Archives, which house over 50,000 drawings and blueprints of military vehicles from the U.S. Army Tank Automotive Command in Warren, Michigan. The group also hosts an annual convention and numerous events with their affiliated clubs throughout North America. Visit www.mvpa.org for more information.
So that's the case? Quite a revleation that is.

Today, increasing numbers of synagogues are engaging in interfaith campaigns on vital issues of local concern, from public education to building affordable housing. Three components are essential to the process: one, congregants engage in one-to-one conversations within their synagogue, and often with other congregations, about their social justice passions; two, leaders engage in extensive clergy and lay leadership training and development; and three, synagogue leaders work side-by-side with dozens of faith institutions and progressive organizations in their community, across lines of race, class, and faith.

*EDIT: I guess I didn't do my research enough. Price reduced drastically to reflect the market*
I have some new Niche's on order, so up for sale are my graphite wheels. As you can see there are some chips (I am being as honest as I can) and rash. I noticed the chips as soon as bought the car, but Cadillac would not warranty them. The rash on the other hand was an unfortunate "had to get at of the way of someone texting." My new wheels are being made and should be in around the end of August so that is when I would be able to ship. Just DM me if you have questions. The tires will need replacement immediately by the time August rolls around and will have anywhere from 14-15k miles on them.

Dodgers bring community closer over holidays
LOS ANGELES -- The Dodgers are reaching out to Southern California with a pair of events as part of their "Season of Giving," a community-focused campaign that seeks to improve the lives of children in Los Angeles.
On Nov. 19, in partnership with Ralphs/Food 4 Less, the club hosted the 11th annual Community Thanksgiving Turkey Giveaway at Dodger Stadium.

How many people will be singing "I Didn't Know What Day It Was" when they wake up New Year's Day and admit that they really aren't in the 21st century yet? It seems everybody knows the facts; but everybody wants to get the 21st century underway early. Oh well, we can have another "Next Millennium" New Year's Eve party on December 31, 2000. At least it'll be great for the economy!
There was a year numbered "1" but there never was a year "0" -- the first time a zero occurred was in the year "10" and then it came up again at the end of each decade thereafter. The year 2000 is actually the end of a decade and the end of this century. The next century actually will begin when the calendar goes from 2000 to 2001.
In an e-mail from his Florida residence, Bob Rodgers of Joseph H. Brown Lodge No. 751, Philadelphia, noted that in each of the last two issues of The Pennsylvania Freemason there were references to the ending of the 20th century and the beginning of the 21st century. He reminded, "Surely you must be aware the 21st century begins on January 1, 2001, NOT on January 1, 2000."
The Committee on The Pennsylvania Freemason and the Editor are aware. Last Spring, the Committee discussed the communication dilemma that the universal misinterpretation of time has wrought and decided in order to announce and report the events of these times, we have to go along with the worldwide willingness to rush the coming of the 21st century. So, crooning "With My Eyes Wide Open," the Editor goes with the errant flow toward a new century that'll be here before its time.

Receiver Tracy Moore nearly left Oklahoma State before taking parents' advice
Oklahoma State receiver Tracy Moore received a medical redshirt after suffering a high ankle sprain at Kansas, but he nearly didn't take advantage of his extra year of eligibility. Moore, in a Q&A with Anthony Slater of The Oklahoman:
Were you close to jumping?
I was about 50-50, but don't nobody know better than my parents, so I put my trust in them and I made the right decision.
