Drivers Say Cop Issued Street Sweeping Tickets On Wrong Day
Many cars were ticketed for street cleaning violations on Walton Street despite signs that don't restrict parking for street sweeping.
Permanent metal signs restrict parking for street cleaning on the second Wednesday of the month. But cars were ticketed on what was the third Wednesday of the month by a Chicago police according to DNA Info.
Vigilante Sign Makers Warn Drivers It's Street Sweeping Day
The bright pink sign went up under the cover of night and no one in the neighborhood knows the identity of this pugilist for parking justice.
This street is in the city's 1st Ward which has permanent signs designating which day of the month street cleaning occurs.
Drivers Rack Up Over 12,000 Parking Tickets In First Two Weeks Of Street Cleaning Season
MetroMile to Pay 100 Street Sweeping Tickets Wednesday
Chicago's street cleaning season has just barely begun but drivers have already racked up over 12,000 parking tickets in the first two weeks according to data from the city's Department of Finance.
In a response to a Freedom of Information request by the Expired Meter, the city says 12,224 parking tickets for street cleaning were issued between the April 1st start of the street sweeping and Friday, April 11th.
City data says over 250,000 street cleaning tickets totaling over $15 million in fines were issued in 2013 during the course of the eight month street cleaning season.
But there's good news for a handful of those several thousand motorists who got stung with one of these $60 tickets.
Auto insurance company MetroMile is going to help 100 of these drivers pay their parking ticket by giving them $60 cash if they show up with their bright orange street cleaning violation in hand Wednesday at noon outside of 435 N. Michigan Avenue.
MetroMile to Pay 100 Street Sweeping Tickets; App to Send Cleaning Alerts
A company called MetroMile has an app it says can help you avoid getting tickets in the future by using GPS to alert you when your car is parked on a street scheduled for street sweeping the next day.
What's more, the company, which is now offering its miles-based auto insurance in the area, says it will pay the street cleaning tickets of 100 drivers.
On April 23, MetroMile will be outside at 435 N. Michigan Ave. from 8 a.m. until early afternoon handing out a free device called a Metronome. At noon, the first 100 drivers who show up with a 2014 Chicago street cleaning ticket and who have downloaded the MetroMile app will get $60 toward paying their tickets, officials said.
MetroMile offers auto insurance coverage based on the miles a motorist actually drives as opposed to the typical insurance plan that charges based on an estimate of miles driven. The device plugs into a diagnostic port on cars to track miles driven and also pinpoints your car location via GPS.
Chicago's Street Cleaning Season Starts Tuesday
Every year in Chicago, April 1st marks the first day of the city's street cleaning season.
But the start of this year's street sweeping may be a bit more challenging than in recent years due to higher volume of debris leftover from the historically harsh winter.
In fact, street cleaning crews from the city's Department of Streets and Sanitation began sweeping the city's arterial streets last week to try to get a jump on these dirt filled streets.
The department is also using crews to pick up litter, refuse and other objects too large for sweepers to clean up.
"With this harsh winter finally coming to an end, Streets and Sanitation has been aggressively cleaning along arterial routes to ensure streets and curb lanes are clear of litter and garbage for the spring," said Commissioner Charles L. Williams.
Car Pal iPhone App Helps Drivers Avoid Parking Tickets
Varun Goel and Gaurav Goyal don't drive or own cars, but the two young programmers know how easy it is for drivers to get slapped with parking tickets — especially for parking on the wrong side of the street on street-cleaning days.
So, they decided to build an iPhone app that would let users know when street-cleaning is scheduled on their block.
Car Pal also will let drivers know if their car is parked on a street with a winter overnight parking ban or when it's time to feed the parking meter.
"It's definitely a pain to find parking in the city, especially in dense neighborhoods," Goel said. "This app helps drivers determine whether they're parking legally or not."
Both Goel and Goyal were born in India, went to school in the U.S. and ended up meeting after getting jobs as programmers at Morningstar.
Street Sweeping Extended Into December In Some Neighborhoods
Don't be surprised if you see bright orange signs and street sweepers on your street during December.
That's because Chicago's Department of Streets and Sanitation decided to officially extend street cleaning through mid-December.
In past years Chicago's street cleaning season runs from April 1st through November 30th.
But due to the prolonged and mild fall which delayed many trees from shedding their leaves until late in the season, Streets and Sanitation felt it would be important to winter snow removal efforts to make sure leaves were cleared from residential streets where possible.
WBEZ Explains Chicago Style Street Cleaning
A listener to WBEZ 91.5 FM posed a question to the stations excellent Curious City producers asking, "What's the deal with street cleaning? Does it actually do anything?"
The listener contended that after street cleaning, the street doesn't look much different than on the day the bright orange Street Cleaning signs went up, implying it was some sort of scam for the city to collect more revenue through parking tickets.
Curious City, in its usual thorough way, gives listeners a near dissertation on the subject of street sweeping in a recent radio story and on their website.
CBS 2: Drivers Confused By Street Cleaning Signs
CBS 2 News breaks an interesting story about a near west side neighborhood where signs for street cleaning are supposed to light up to warn residents–but don't work.
To make things worse, despite confusing and inoperable signs, the city is still ticketing there.
Read more about this great scoop at CBS 2 Chicago, "'No Parking' Signs Have West Side Drivers Confused."
Parking Tickets Continue Despite Broken Street Cleaning Signs
Residents in the Tri-Taylor neighborhood are frustrated and confused their cars continue to be ticketed for street cleaning violations despite street signs that are working improperly.
According to residents in this small section of the 25th ward along 13th Street near Western and Ogden Avenues, the city installed metal street signs restricting parking on days when street cleaning was scheduled several years ago.
Department of Finance spokesperson Kelley Quinn explains the lights installed on the top of the sign would flash red on days street cleaning would was scheduled and green all other times. When street cleaning was completed on the street it could be switched from red to green, therefore allowing residents to re-park sooner than the normal 3 PM time listed on the standard orange colored temporary paper signs used to warn drivers the street sweeper was coming.
"This was part of a pilot program from five years ago," said Quinn. "Red meant sweeping was going on, green meant sweeping was finished."
On Monday street cleaning was scheduled in the area and a handful of residents were outside scrambling to move their vehicles around 9 AM before the street sweepers start cleaning the streets.

I think in times the synthesis you've asked about will emerge in a new political party -- that is if the USA survives the next few years.
The Hegelian dialectic involves the engagement of two ideational entities in an ostensibly adversarial dynamic. However, neither of two ideational entities involved are dichotomously related. The conflict that ensues between the two is superficial at best and, eventually, results in their synthesis into a new ideational entity. This synthesis amalgamates the worst features of the opposing camps. ... America (thesis) clashes with Islamofascism (antithesis) which leads to the rise of an American Empire (synthesis) spoken so much about by the neoconservative faction of the elite in their Project for a New American Century (PNAC) documents.

When the Pope said Mass celebrated Mass at World Youth Day why did the Deacon read the Gospel?
Julianne Wallace Answers:
When a deacon is present at the Celebration of the Eucharist, he has some special duties that he is responsible for. These duties include proclaiming the Gospel (and possibly the homily), praying the General Intercessions, assisting in the distribution of Communion, and carrying out other liturgical duties as necessary. So although at World Youth Day there were tons of priests that could have proclaimed the Gospel, it is the rightful duty of the deacon to do so, if there is a deacon present at the Mass.

Great set of snowshoes!
- Familiarity:I've put it through the wringer
I've used them numerous times now and they have performed exactly how I want them too. I like that they are small enough to keep up with the runners, yet still big enough to stay on top of the fresh pow pow. Awesome snowshoes.
The only down side is that the paint or graphics they use come off pretty easily. I think mine rubbed off the first or second time I wore them. Maybe it was because you're not "supposed" to jump off 20 foot stumps into snow. :)
Was looking at these snowshoes for a while,...
Was looking at these snowshoes for a while, and was curious if the bindings on this specific set were compatible with a snowboard boot (in this case, a Men's 10). I'm looking at the 930, as I weigh 165, so would be in the 100-200 range with up to a 35lb pack. Don't plan on over-nighting, so I think it's the right size.
I have a pair of traditional insulated boots I would use for day hikes, but was wondering If I did end up hiking and bringing the snowboard along for the descents, if I would be able to use the snowboard boots without a big hassle (read: lugging around another pair of boots and changing on the mountain).
Thanks in advance, -MP

Dear Mom,
When in Rome, speak as the RomansŌĆÖ ŌĆō The Indians always have to have some ailment or other ŌĆō or their friends get suspicions that theyŌĆÖre getting something extra to eat. So I got Malaria. The first couple of days I was hot and cold in relays ŌĆō since then IŌĆÖve felt fine ŌĆō but a little weak. I donŌĆÖt think theyŌĆÖll let me out of the hospital for another week yet.
I havenŌĆÖt received any of the Air Mail packages you sent ŌĆō IŌĆÖll let you know as soon as I do. Glad to hear Bill likes it and I certainly hope he can get deferred and continue with medicineŌĆ"
ŌĆ"Well they still wonŌĆÖt let me out of bed. With nothing to do, IŌĆÖm slowly going nuts. This morning, while counting the cracks in the ceiling plaster, Coresia in the next bed says ŌĆō look Meehan ŌĆō and points behind my head, so I roll over and raise my head and ┬Į inch in front of my nose is a monkey. He scowled and I jumped ten feet ŌĆō Coersia roared. IŌĆÖve been sitting here sharpening my dagger and eying his throat. HeŌĆÖs laughing a bit nervously now. The monkey is a pet of the medics and has been inoculated as much as the G.I.s.
How are you all doing? I havenŌĆÖt had a letter for several days ŌĆō Pat, Betsy and Lou should be able to get along now. Dad should try to get some gold in ŌĆō his only hobby seems to be politics. Interested in hearing how Doc and Lou made out.
I think we should finish Germany next summer and Japan in ŌĆÖ45, which is the earliest I to expect to get home.

Hello dearest family!
Allow me to enlighten you on the last few days. Now, the Navy has inoculated people against smallpox for years, but they stopped doing it a few years back. I thought I got lucky and avoided it but nooooo, they were just building up their vaccine quantity. So this year, when we deployed, the docs informed us all that we were getting Anthrax (most painful shot of all time six times) and oh, btw, you're getting smallpox post-Turkey. Grand. ŌĆ" I have an entirely new perspective on the Black Death. Officially the most disgusting/worst way to die of all time. Oh, and your body is trying to fight it so your immune system is wrecked and everyone, I mean EVERYONE on the boat is sick. So anyways, that's the scene. Hopefully it will scab over soon and then please send massive quantities of Mederma. That's about all on my end! I love you all so much and I hope everything is going well! I've LOVED some of the emails I've received…Mom, I love the decorating emails and STM updates…Dad, I have more books for you! Read ŌĆśem for me, cause I have zero time right now ŌĆ"Kelse, we LOVE reading your emails…we miss college! And they're hilarious!…and PAT…WRITE ME AN EMAIL BRO Love, Mere
On Holidays and Missing Good Food:
1 January 1944
Dear Mom,
A beautiful cool New YearŌĆÖs afternoon with not much doing ŌĆō just lying around. Received your package containing soap and shaving supplies, Asprin ŌĆō IŌĆÖve never had a headache since IŌĆÖve been in the army ŌĆō except when I had malaria, and little liver tablets! Now I know IŌĆÖve probably bitched and griped about the food, but with all, itŌĆÖs never been that bad. Never took them in my life and donŌĆÖt intent to start now. I have never felt better.
Cards from Don DamiceŌĆÖs, Louise and ten-spot from Harry- no good here, but negotiable in China where U.S. money is called ŌĆ£Gold.ŌĆØ News from Germany sounds good with the Russians cutting off the Germans at China. I donŌĆÖt think theyŌĆÖll last long and Japan should be out a year after Germany falls.
Love Jimmie

Great Americans,
Hoping this email finds all of you quite well this 4th of July! Please have some corn-on-the-cob, potato salad and that jello and pretzel dessert stuff (is there actually a name for it? C'mon, you know what I mean!), for me…and a beer! Or two…or five… While life is fairly insane at the moment (no fireworks or celebrations for me this year), I spent the day up in the control tower and then out went out to the LSO platform (Landing Signal Officer), and watched some jets land. Now if that doesn't scream "'Merica!" I don't know what does! On a more serious note, things have been quite interesting around here, which has added to the already complex ops of day-to-day life onboard the boat. We all faced a steep learning curve over the last few weeks as certain international events unfolded, and I have learned vast amounts on a variety of subjects. The current situation means that we have an extremely high op-tempo, and┬Ājust as our aircrew have been busy flying, our maintainers have been working incredibly hard to keep our airplanes up and functioning. The other day, one of my AEs (I'm the Avionics Division Officer), fell off a ladder while he was fixing an engine component with his arm wedged all the way inside the engine nacelle, and he now his entire arm is mottled purple, red and yellow. Despite this, he was back to work three hours later, with a smile on his face, happy that he got the plane back up and ready to fly! These are the type of awesome guys and gals that make up my squadron, and I couldn't be more proud of them, especially on a day like today. Happy 4th, everyone!
It may be hard to see the similarities in experiences that are separated by so many years, policy changes and shifts in generational mindsets. But they are there. And they remind us that despite the differences, we share (at least) one fundamental commonality: we all wear/wore the uniform of a United States Armed Forces service member.

I hate to post anything from a hawk win but I'm watching '85 UI vs MI game on espn classic right now and didn't realize there was a time in college football when crowd noise wasn't allowed, the play clock is stopped if the crowd is too loud for the opposing teams offense. It got me to thinking that the NCAA has had a lot of dumb rules and not just the ridiculous new clock rules. Go Cyclones hopefully tech's qb will continue his fumbleitis
I'm watching the same game and forgot that rule existed. Crazy...
Maybe they realized that football games aren't tennis matches. Yikes.
Or maybe it could be abused easily. Crowd yelling for an extended period of time could give the home team an extended time out.
Go Sssssssssyclones!

It was only penalized to the home team, not to the visitor. But if you've got a large road crowd you could defeat that provision as well. All and all it's basically unenforceable.
The part you might not have known about the rule? It wasn't eliminated until this year. It was just never called.
believe the rule is gone now wasnt that part of this years rule changes?
I think another dumb rule was when they didn't allow fumbles to be advanced by the recovering team.
Also, I think there was a point where you couldn't advance an interception either.
Remember the great halo rule of a few seasons ago?

You know.....it wasn't that bad of a rule, its just that the refs didn't know how the hell to properly enforce it. If you had a gunner coming down full speed at a punt returner, it would make it look like he was inside the "halo" after he crushes the returner a split second after the catch, even if that wasn't the case.
Glad they got rid of that rule, though. It was too subjective as there was no way an official could come out and measure the distance between a returner and defender. Think it was a 15 yard penalty, too....an absolute killer.
ya know what rule i think is dumb? having the hash marks yards outside the goal posts. you know how many kicks that has caused our kickers to miss (j/k, but it's still kinda dumb)
Chuck Lidell: I paint my toenails with pink and black polish. Problem is, I get more paint on my toes and on the carpet than on my nails. Any advice?

Winter blankets........should I invest in a new one?
Well when I bought Sonny I got a heavy weight/water proof winter blanket for him....but I'm not sure if that was too heavy for him.
I'm not sure if I should invest in a light-weight or a medium weight also.
The BO always puts on the blankets if the horses need it, or takes off them if it's really warm....but wasn't sure what would be best.
I've been thinking of getting a new one, but I don't know if I'd particually need one. Should I get one?
does he get sweaty with the heavy blanket on?
if so, it might not be a bad idea to get a med. weight one.
just don't overwhelm your BO with a multitude of blankets!! :lol:
It's really up to you! :) I think if the one you have works, then use it. If it's too heavy (& making him sweat & such), I'd get a lighter one. :D They are always good to have around.

A notebook with a split personality
There's not much fanfare surrounding the launch of Lenovo's new Flex 10 laptop with Intel's Bay Trail architecture inside. Perhaps that's because the Flex line itself isn't new, though the 10-inch model hasn't been released before. The Flex 10 features a 10.1-inch touchscreen display with a 1366x768 (HD) resolution. What's unique about the Flex 10 is that the screen flips 300 degrees into stand mode so that you can tap away at the display.
Otherwise, it sits like a normal laptop with Lenovo's AccuType keyboard and multitouch touchpad that's optimized for Windows 8. The laptop itself is less than an inch thick and weighs under 3 pounds, Lenovo says.
The guts of the machine is comprised of up to an Intel quad-core Pentium N3510 processor, up to 4GB of DDR3L memory, up to 500GB of storage, and integrated graphics. It also has two USB ports (1 x USB 3.0 and 1 x USB 2.0), HDMI output, an audio combo jack, stereo speakers, Bluetooth 4.0, 802.11n Wi-Fi, 720p webcam, and Windows 8.1.
Pricing for Lenovo's Flex 10 laptop starts at $550.

Gato Barbieri
is the second Argentine musician to make a significant impact upon modern jazz -- the first being
Lalo Schifrin
, in whose band
played. His story has been that of an elongated zigzag odyssey between his homeland and North America. He started out playing to traditional Latin rhythms in his early years, turning his back on his heritage to explore the jazz avant-garde in the '60s, reverting to South American influences in the early '70s, playing pop and fusion in the late '70s, only to go back and forth again in the '80s. North American audiences first heard
when he was a wild bull, sporting a coarse, wailing
John Coltrane
Pharoah Sanders
-influenced tone. Yet by the mid-'70s, his approach and tone began to mellow somewhat in accordance with ballads like "What a Diff'rence a Day Makes" (which he always knew as the vintage bolero "Cuando Vuelva a Tu Lado") and
Carlos Santana
's "Europa." Still, regardless of the idiom in which he works, the warm-blooded
has always been one of the most overtly emotional tenor sax soloists on record, occasionally driving the voltage ever higher with impulsive vocal cheerleading.
's family included several musicians, he did not take up an instrument until the age of 12 when a hearing of
Charlie Parker
's "Now's the Time" encouraged him to study the clarinet. Upon moving to Buenos Aires in 1947, he continued private music lessons, picked up the alto sax, and by 1953 had become a prominent national musician through exposure in the
orchestra. Later in the '50s,
started leading his own groups, switching to tenor sax. After moving to Rome in 1962 with his Italian-born wife, he met
Don Cherry
in Paris the following year and, upon joining his group, became heavily absorbed in the jazz avant-garde.
also played with
Mike Mantler
Jazz Composers' Orchestra
in the late '60s; you can hear his fierce tone unleashed in the "Hotel Overture" of
Carla Bley
's epic work "Escalator Over the Hill."
Yet after the turn of the next decade,
experienced a slow change of heart and began to reincorporate and introduce South American melodies, instruments, harmonies, textures, and rhythm patterns into his music. Albums such as the live
El Pampero
on Flying Dutchman and the four-part
series on Impulse -- the latter of which explored Brazilian and Afro-Cuban rhythms and textures, as well as Argentine -- brought
plenty of acclaim in the jazz world and gained him a following on American college campuses.
However, it was a commercial accident, his sensuous theme and score for the controversial film Last Tango in Paris in 1972, that made
an international star and a draw at festivals in Montreux, Newport, Bologna, and other locales. A contract with A&M in the U.S. led to a series of softer pop/jazz albums in the late '70s, including the brisk-selling
He returned to a more intense, rock-influenced, South American-grounded sound in 1981 with the live
Gato...Para los Amigos
under the aegis of producer
Teo Macero
, before doubling back to pop/jazz on
. Yet his profile in the U.S. was diminished later in the decade in the wake of the buttoned-down neo-bop movement.
Beset by triple-bypass surgery and bereavement over the death of his wife, Michelle, who was his closest musical confidant,
was inactive through much of the 1990s. But he returned to action in 1997, playing with most of his impassioned intensity, if limited in ideas, at the Playboy Jazz Festival in Los Angeles and recording a somewhat bland album,
Que Pasa
, for Columbia.
Che Corazon
followed in 1999.
As the 21st Century opened,
saw a steady stream of collections and reissues of his work appear. A new album, Shadow of the Cat, appeared from Peak Records in 2002.

Bloodstains are one of the most commonly found forms of evidence at crime scenes. Traditional methods of documenting and analyzing bloodstains require a significant amount of time at the scene. The use of laser scanning technology with FARO Scene's Bloodstain plug-in is a validated and highly efficient method to perform area-of-origin analysis with the benefit of easily incorporating multiple, non-orthogonal surfaces into the results.
In this short webinar, Cellebrite global forensic training director Buddy Tidwell will offer an...
Forensic casework samples, are extremely variable in terms of DNA quantity and quality, and...
Big Data is the new norm in today's world. It is extremely challenging to capture, store,...
As Crime Laboratories have migrated to an ISO17025 accreditation status, there has been increased confusion regarding the calibration standards and requirements for microscope systems. This is especially true for comparison microscopes used in Firearm and Toolmark examinations. This webinar will discuss: the requirement levels and components used in calibration. the source of tools and process for calibration. the comparison microscope as it relates to ISO 17025 standards.
The DNAscan™ Rapid DNA Analysis™ System was developed to enable crime laboratories and law enforcement agencies to process DNA samples in under 90 minutes, thereby helping to accelerate the criminal investigation process. DNAscan System is fast, rugged, and easy-to-use and was initially designed and optimized to process single source, reference buccal swabs. Further development at NetBio is supporting expanded capabilities for the system.
Massively parallel sequencing (MPS), which has been described as next generation sequencing, has advanced substantially and offers the forensic scientific community novel and enhanced approaches to DNA typing. While capillary electrophoresis-based technologies have been the standard method for human identity typing applications, there are limitations in this methodology's resolution, scalability, and throughput. MPS has the potential to address these limitations and expand investigative capabilities and typing success. Because of it, high throughput MPS provides the ability to multiplex multiple types of forensically relevant genetic markers and sequence multiple samples per analysis. Additionally, MPS data may improve interpretation of mixtures.
Perhaps you are often faced with compromised samples and questions such as: was the DNA concentration too low? Was the DNA degraded or the amplification inhibited? The new Investigator 24plex Kit family contains a unique Quality Sensor (QS) that generates valuable information for quality control and performance checks, which can be used to choose the most appropriate rework strategy.
This webinar will address in detail the method optimization parameters that effect extraction of drugs of abuse namely: sample pretreatment, bed mass, sample size, conditioning, column washing, drying and elution.
In the past 20 years, forensic DNA analysis has become an indispensable tool in the criminal justice system. Yet despite improvements in chemistry sensitivity and process automation, data generation has remained relatively unchanged. Currently, routine analysis is restricted to the length of STR alleles and only 10's of markers can be combined in a single system. Comprehensive sample interrogation requires intensive workflows/methods and multiple parallel analyses.
The webinar will introduce the PowerPlex® Fusion 6C System, a 6-color STR system that simultaneously amplifies 23 autosomal loci, three Y-STR loci, and Amelogenin. The twenty required and three recommended expanded CODIS core loci are combined with Penta D, Penta E, DYS570, and DYS576 to give this system a discriminatory power that is unmatched by any other commercially available STR system.
The Hamilton easyPunch is a revolutionary automation solution co-developed by GE Healthcare and Hamilton Robotics designed for the forensic laboratory. The key design features of this technology include card and sample location imaging to obtain the optimum sample punch, full sample and card traceability and automated punching and liquid handling.
As forensic laboratories advance to newer and more sensitive instrumentation, it is useful to review how low level STR data is generated and interpreted. This webinar presentation will focus on the underlying instrumental and chemical factors that affect the appearance of low level DNA samples and mixtures, and will provide tips to attendees on how to appropriately address these challenges.
The need for at-site, rapid, reliable analysis of unknown compounds and materials is critical in forensic, environmental, homeland security and military applications. Agilent now provides key technologies that are optimized for at-site analysis and enable sampling of solids, liquids, air, gels, foods, and even blood. Results can be obtained in as little as a few seconds to a few minutes when and where you need answers.
Sexual assault samples are among the most difficult sample types encountered by forensic DNA laboratories, frequently suffering from multiple challenges including small quantity of male DNA, relatively high quantity of female DNA and presence of PCR inhibitors. Join this webinar to learn about powerful new tools for DNA sample assessment and amplification, including the Quantifiler® Trio, Yfiler® Plus and GlobalFiler® Kits, that can significantly improve the workflow for obtaining interpretable profiles from sexual assault and other challenging casework samples.
In this webinar, we will discuss the results from a large collaborative project initiated in September 2012 to collect, analyze, database and publish population data of 23 Y-STR locus haplotypes (PowerPlex® Y23 System which was released in August 2012).
Forensic DNA laboratories rely on reagent and plastics manufacturers to supply high-quality products with minimal interference from contaminating DNA. With the increasing sensitivity of short tandem repeat (STR) amplification systems, levels of DNA that were previously undetected may now generate partial profiles. To address the concern of laboratories regarding the potential of low-level DNA contamination in consumables, ISO/CD 18385 has been drafted describing guidelines for minimizing the risk of human DNA contamination events during the manufacturing process. The draft also proposes pass/fail parameters for Forensic Grade certification. This webinar will discuss studies to evaluate the proposed parameters.
The need for forensic laboratories to obtain more information in significantly less time from their STR analyses has increased steadily in recent years. The PowerPlex® ESX and ESI Fast Systems not only meet the ENFSI recommendation for DNA profile sharing across Europe, but they also use rapid cycling technology, so that amplification using these five-color systems can be done in less than 50 minutes.
For most death investigations, you start with a plain notebook and start writing. Wouldn't it be easier to just fill in the blanks beginning with time assigned to the release of the crime scene? The Checklist is designed to help you investigate a crime scene. It covers bodies found in structures, water, vehicles and open areas; it will put your investigation into a format where the information can be found. This information will also work as a reminder of what needs to be done, to get you thinking and to be more observant, as well as aid in the prosecution of the case. Class participants will be given a code to access the Death Scene Check List free of charge.

Inspired by "The Crow".
It looks sad!
I guess rain makes me a bit melancholic but in a creative way
myeah I know the feeling, although, with me it's not rain, it's sunshine I love rain! too much^^
THE CROW classic soundtrack
Yes ..one of my favorite movies of all time.
INDEED! Especially the scene on the cemetery
Well there are so many scenes i love in that movie like when Eric is back and he is in shock not knowing what happened and also that part when he is fighting Top Dollar on the church at the end of the movie.
hahaha indeed! I love that scene when he shows up at the basement where the "bad guys" are gathered, he sits on the table and his face is such that he really looks insane, his laughter is the one!
looks so great i love it!
really pretty shot! I love rain!
love the colors
This was very appropriate for me right now - it started raining, and I had to walk home from school without an umbrella. But it can't rain all the time.
Ouch was it cold rain or warm-ish kind of rain?
i love this!
Oww! I love this Shot.
Good job!
great photo
Lovely shoot!
This is a really cute shot

Interviews were conducted with a sample of parents and their children between the ages of 10 and 17. Children were asked questions about their neighborhood and school, such as whether they thought their neighborhood was a good place for children to grow up, whether they liked school, and whether they experienced peer pressure to engage in various behaviors. They were also asked how they spent their time during the summer, whether they could confide in their parents, and whether they often spent time in the house alone. Children who did not reside with their biological parents were asked about frequency and nature of contact with biological parents. Additional questions concerned weekend, after-school, and family activities. Parents were asked similar questions about their children's activities and behavior, as well as questions about their own attitudes and concerns regarding parenting.

Glock 20, if you are wanting a 10mm and can afford to shoot it.
Otherwise, what do you currently have and what are you looking for the gun to do for you?
Carry, range, home defense or ????
October 20, 2007, 02:01 AM
P345 alternatives:
SIG P220 (regular, carry, and compact)
Springfield XD 45 (service, compact)
Glock 30
Redhawk 44...nah, just get it!
The Glock 20 is a great gun too.
October 20, 2007, 02:04 AM
Do you not like the p345?
October 20, 2007, 02:11 AM
The P345 is not a bad gun, but i've never been much of a Ruger centerfire semi-auto sort of gun.
I too would recommend a Sig P220 Certified Pre-owned pistol instead of the Ruger.
Since you are considering a Glock 20, how about a Glock 21 or 21SF for a .45ACP?
October 20, 2007, 02:16 AM
I dunno what it is I just can't warm up to the sigs. I don't have a real good reason... Just didn't like the one that I shot i guess.
I have a p90 that I love, so I thought the p345 might be a good companion. I hear they are quite a bit thinner. I've never handled one though.
October 20, 2007, 03:00 AM
or??Well, you know... it pretty much depends on what you want it for.
If you want decent feedback, set your parameters a bit more clearly.
October 20, 2007, 04:24 AM
Get the new 4" barrel Ruger Redhawk. That 44 is sweet. :cool:

350 - 500 bucks depeneding who you buy one from
Just Jim
October 20, 2007, 01:42 PM
Buy ammo while you still can for the guns you allready own.
October 20, 2007, 02:54 PM
I vote for the G20. I've always wanted a 10MM myself. If you lived over here, I'd say get a silencer... That's what I'd do w/ an extra $600..:)
October 20, 2007, 03:59 PM
Depends on why these guns appeal to you...I personally would go w/ "or" but if the Ruger semi auto is calling you, get that :scrutiny:
October 20, 2007, 07:26 PM
Get a Lorcin...and LOTS of ammo!
October 20, 2007, 07:33 PM
the new ruger is in that price range too... and that thing looks hot
October 20, 2007, 07:34 PM
I would get the Springfield 1911 GI version. This would be a great handgun to send out to have customized in the future when the time is right.
October 20, 2007, 08:56 PM

The .45+p is a legendary manstopper. The 10mm can do what the .45 can do, and gives you enough extra power to hunt, though in the right gun the .45 can match the 10mm. The 20 makes sense for a camp gun in black bear country as well as the urban jungle. Ammunition is harder to come by and is more expensive than the .45 or .44 (for me, anyway). But if you don't need bear protection, it is a nice round. Now if you want something that can truly do it all, from stopping bad people to hunting and grizzly bear defense, the Ruger .44 Magnum (+p+) is the most prudent choice of the 3.
I wound up with two guns- a .45 as a BUG to the .44 I think I am well covered on the streets or in the woods. I chose the .44 and .45 over the 10 simply because of ammo cost and the fact that I can make my .45 almost equal the 10mm, and the .44 trounces it in power and versatility.
October 21, 2007, 12:31 AM
please explain!
The gun is just too awesome. I'd take my P99 over a 1911.
Go do some searched for "P99" on this site, The Firing Line, Handgun Forum, Glocktalk, and some other sites... U will see all positive comments - And, I'm known as the P99 fanatic everywhere...
I have gotten 15 people to buy them, 13 of them online (2 locally). Almost all of the online people did it w/o trying the gun first - just went off of my incessant praise for the gun. None regret it.
October 21, 2007, 02:44 AM
October 21, 2007, 02:53 AM
I also agree with the SIG CPO option over the Ruger. I just got a P-226 and it is twice the gun my P-95 ever thought about being. If you have the $600 to spend on a pistol, why not get the better one?
It would be one thing if that extra $200 was just not possible, in which case I would say go ahead and get the Ruger (which is still a good gun BTW). But that's not the case.
Just reread and saw that you don't really care for SIG's.
If that's the case, the P-345 is quite a bit thinner than the other Ruger .45's (I have handled them all but never shot any). I haven't heard anything bad about them but I'm also not sure what the holster and accessory situation is like with them. It took some looking to find a holster for my P-95 and in the end I pretty much had to just take it to a gun store and try holsters for other guns until I found one that fit pretty well.
Out of the available choices, I guess I can't really say. If you want something smaller than your current Ruger, the G-20 is probably not going to fill that role (but I think it is lighter).
As others have said, it will depend on what you want to do with it. But personally, I'd kinda like to have a Redhawk... ;)
If you are just looking for something different than what you have, what about a .357 revolver? A GP-100 or SP-101 is really on my wish list and I also wouldn't sneer at a nice old Security Six.

First I would ask myself exactly what am I going to do with this pistol, for a primary hunting pistol either the Glock 10mm or the Ruger Redhawk will due.
With the right loads the 10mm compares in power to a .41 magnum it is a flat shooting hard hitting round limited mostly by a lack of pistols chambered for it and ammunition availability.
For home defense or CCW you would be better off with the Glock or the Ruger semi auto.
There are better designs out there than the Ruger semi auto for example one could find a good used Sig 220 229 226 or Glock of most calibers and still have enough for a couple of magazines.
Better a used well cared for Mercedes or BMW than a new Hyundai.:evil:
Allot of affordable factory reconditioned and police trade ins are around if one looks for them.
Check www.auctionarms.com www.gunbroker.com www.gunsamerica.com also Southern Ohio Gun J & G and AIM surplus to name a few.
Best of luck.;)

Before you get the P345 be sure to look up the problems with it. It shouldn't be hard to find (even on the Ruger forum at unitedforums) since many of us who bought them had problems. Mine was the biggest gun mistake I ever made and I was very happy to get rid of it at a $200 loss recently.
October 21, 2007, 04:01 AM
I would go with a Glock 20. If its going to be an outdoor gun that would be my first choice in most environments. It depends on what your possibly going to encounter out there but a 10mm should be fine in my opinion.

Fools rush in. Don't fall victim to the "I've got $XXX burning a hole in my pocket and I've just got to spend it" mentality.
If you're not sure of what you want, wait until you are :)

Punching paper - 1911
Deer hunting - G20 or Redhawk
Self defense - a 9mm semi-auto
A Ruger or Browning .22 pistol plus 2000 rounds of ammo will cost you about $300. Burn through that ammo at the range and you will be a better pistol shooter than 99% of the people on the planet. A .22 is always handy for shooting practice, introducing new shooters and carrying in the woods.
October 22, 2007, 07:05 PM
How about a training class?
October 22, 2007, 07:07 PM
I can sell you a nearly new Makarov, a case of ammo, and you'll have money left over. It'll go bang ever time and is incredibly accurate.
Or you can have a NIB Colt 1991A1 and no $$ left over.
Your call...........
October 23, 2007, 08:47 AM
And, I'm known as the P99 fanatic everywhere...
Huh, I didn't know that. :p
October 23, 2007, 12:21 PM
Well, I'll have to make a positive comment for the Ruger P345. Sure, it had early production problems, but those have been worked out. I have taken it to the range several times and put around 300 rounds of various manufacture plus some handloads through it. Never a hitch. No break-in period required. It's light, sturdy and dependable. I use a holster for a P89 and it works just fine. Others may have different opinions, but I can't find fault with this pistol. Plus, brand new, you'd have money left over for other stuff.

My Thoughts on the Continuation of the Persona Franchise
By Aaox 11 Comments
God, it's been ages since I last wrote a blog post on this site. Even longer still since I wrote a good one (that time being approximately never ago), and who knows if this'll buck the trend. But enough self-pitying whinging; let's set this up. It's very long, also, so... you know. Be warned all ye who enter here.
With the recent announcement of all that Persona stuff - Persona Q: Where Are You?, Persona 4: Tunoku Don't Dance, and Persona 5, I found myself nowhere near as excited as I thought I would be. I've been worried about the franchise ever since Persona 4: The Animation was announced, and the recent explosion of Persona gave me pause for thought. I decided to sit down and try to write down what I felt about the franchise, and suddenly, an hour later, I'd written a 2,085 word long essay on the subject. If you care to read it, please do! If not, who can blame you; thank you for bothering to check this in the first place. So, without further ado:
Persona 4 may very well be my favourite game of all time. It has characters I love, some I still borderline obsess over. The setting was perfect, the gameplay pretty good for a turn based RPG, and the story was excellent. It is unique and beautiful and I care about it intensely. So, I ask myself, why am I worried about Persona 5? It's not simply a fear of the game not living up to the lofty expectations the last game set - I played Persona 3 FES after I finished 4 and still very much enjoyed it, even if I didn't like it as much. So why the fear? It's been troubling me for some time, and I figure the best way to sort it out is to write it down. Shake the tree and see what falls out, as it were.
I was first introduced to Persona 4 with, like many others, the Giant Bomb Persona 4 Endurance Run. I knew straight away that it was a game I had to play, and by episode six, the game was out in the UK. I borrowed my Uncle's Playstation 2 to play it, as I had found that mine had stopped working. Over the following two weeks I found myself sucked into the world of Inaba, hopelessly in love with Rise Kujikawa, and desperate to spend more time with the characters that populated that world. And that's not to say watching the ER alongside my own play through of the game - or several play throughs, if we're being specific - took away from the experience; it was the opposite - having two people I respect and look up to enjoying the same game I was didn't take me out of the experience - it simply made me enjoy it all the more. It felt like I was not only having this wonderfully immersive experience, but was sharing it with Jeff and Vinny. It felt like we were all in on it together, and it was wonderful.
So, some preface; I grew up in a small, rural village. I went to a relatively small countryside High School, The closest town was twenty minutes' drive away, and that town was very much like Inaba - nothing to do there except "hanging with my friends or getting part time jobs." That was pretty much my world. I had aspirations of greatness and big plans for the future, but as a 16 year old approaching the end of my compulsory schooling, I was stuck there. So straight away there were parallels; rural town, same age, same situation, and with a father that constantly goes overseas - my life was very similar to the mundane of Persona 4, just with a lot less social linking. As an introverted 16 year old who doesn't drink or enjoy going to parties, I was living a life of escapism, more or less. And then here comes Persona 4; also known as 'My life, but way, way more interesting." I could sympathise with Yosuke feeling like life was inescapably boring, I could sympathise with Kanji for feeling he didn't fit in, I could sympathise with Rise for having a lot of personas that she had to change between, and I could sympathise with Yukiko for feeling like she was trapped in her surroundings - every part of that game, every character, spoke to me. To an introvert with not much going on in way of mad friendship, and one who's always preferred a small group of very close friends than a large group of acquaintances, the Investigation Team felt like home to me. Familiar enough in both character and setting that I could simply become the blank, faceless protagonist, of whom I named 'Ben Tunoku', supplanting the name from the Giant Bomb Endurance Run with my own first name.
To me, Inaba was home, and the characters in that game were my friends. That made the ending all the more poignant - when Tunoku left the station to go back to his city life, leaving his friends behind, his situation mirrored my own, because it WAS my own. I was leaving the characters and fond memories behind me and returning to my real life. Ben Tunoku wasn't just my persona in that world - he WAS me. I inserted myself into that world, I fell in love with Rise, I saved the people who fell into the TV, I spent time with the characters - it was an intensely personal relationship that was brought about by having the protagonist being a blank slate, a veritable tabula rasa that one could impose themselves on and adopt the position of. Going into the TV became more than a little bit literal for me. It wasn't just playing a game, it was going into another world - living in Inaba, if only briefly. Persona 4 came along at the perfect - or, depending on your point of view, perfectly wrong - point in my life. My experience with Persona 4 was entirely reliant on me being in that state when the game came along. It was a perfect storm, and I suppose it's fair to say that my experience was rather unique - at least, insofar as my own personal life. That's not to say others didn't have the same experience, I just haven't heard from them.
So, Persona 4 ended, and then, months later, the Persona 4 Endurance Run ended. I said goodbye to my friends and went back to my ordinary life, sad, but happy for having had the experience. It felt like I really did go away to Inaba and come back. I felt sad that I had to leave the people I cared about behind, but what a beautiful, albeit bittersweet, ending to a wonderful experience. It was incredibly special, and I doubt I'll ever have that experience with another game for the rest of my life, unless Persona 5 is about a jaded 20 year old in University afraid of the impending, colossal unknown of the future.
Then, Persona 4: The Animation came out. That was fine; they had to give the protagonist a name, and I wasn't directly influencing it so that was alright. I wasn't being forced to be Yu Narukami; I could still separate him and myself. Yu had his adventure, and I had mine. That was fine. They were just two separate stories.
Then, Arena came out. A spinoff, but after waiting a year to play it because of the odd circumstances that surrounded that game's release in the EU, I was rattled to my absolute core. It shook me. It borderline horrified me, to be perfectly honest; Suddenly, I wasn't there anymore. It was like invasion of the body snatchers was happening right in front of me. I wasn't picking conversation options. I was sitting there watching Yosuke talk with Narukami, not me. I was watching Rise call the person who used to be my existence in that world a 'big bastard with a sister complex' with no mention of the relationship she and I had had in the previous game. All my input was gone; all the choices I made had ceased to be. I felt like I'd fallen into another world where I no longer existed; I was just the player, playing a game again. I completely agree with you if you're thinking that it was my fault that I got so invested that this troubles me, but as I've said, it was a perfect storm of circumstance that led to me being so invested in my time in Inaba that the suggestion that it was entirely non-canonical is completely abhorrent.
But it still stood; as far as Persona 4 Arena was concerned, I couldn't go back to Inaba. Yu came along and took my place. And that hurt, a lot. It worried me. The experience I had had with Persona 4 was something I hold incredibly close to my heart - did they just make everything I'd done completely redundant? Did they just ret-con Ben Tunoku? The time I'd spent in Inaba? My choices? My relationships with the characters? Could Ben Tunoku still exist in a world where Yu Narukami existed?
And there was no answer to that question. There was just a big, empty void, with no suggestion of any continuation of the franchise but Golden, which I bought and loved. Then that bloody countdown clock came along.
So for the past few months I've been worried. Not excited, worried; and that itself is strange to me. Persona 4 was and still is the best game I've ever played and my favourite game of all time, and Persona 3 is definitely in the top ten, so why am I not excited by the prospect of a Persona 5? Why did I try to rationalise that the introduction of the Multiverse in Persona 4 Golden was a method with which to allow there to be multiple stories taking place in different versions of Inaba, and not simply a way to work online functionality into the game?
Well, if you've stuck around to this point, the answer should be obvious. Persona 5 reflects the critical point where I'll find out if Ben Tunoku is still allowed to exist; and, of course, we don't know the answer yet. It doesn't look like Narukami's coming back for Persona 5, but that's all just speculation at this point - five chairs with ball-and-chains attached to them is hardly conclusive. I just think they'd lean harder on the existing characters off the bat if they wanted to hype people up about it. Also, important to note, the main character in Persona 4: Dancing All Night (still the best video game title ever) was referred to as 'Hero', not 'Narukami-kun', so that could be a big positive step at least as far as I'm concerned. And Rise you have never looked so fine. But at the same time, denying Arena and canon could seriously hurt the possibility of a continued franchise, and I hardly want Persona to go Final Fantasy route and have a completely unrelated story every time, reducing the franchise to nothing but a disconnected mess of similar situations. But if there are whole new characters, and I'm playing as someone else but can see Narukami and Rise and to a lesser extent everyone else from a distance, how am I going to feel? I still don't know, and that uncertainty is disquieting.
I don't want my time in Inaba to be over, but it might be. At the very least, Ben Tunoku certainly didn't go back for Golden Week. Or perhaps he did, but with a different name, and with a different personality. Perhaps it's high time I let go of my attachment to the characters and accept that they're not real, accept that it's simply a video game, and that it's impact on me is all one-sided; just lines of code speaking pre-determined dialogue to a faceless, voiceless character who was designed to give me a place. But I care about Inaba, and I care about the characters. Accepting it to be completely unreal is not something I could do lightly, as it was real to me, if only for a short while.
Perhaps this is a part of growing up; letting go even though the thought horrifies you. Maybe I'm just a man child who cares more about his computer friends than going out there and making actual, living friends, but that's neither here nor there - that'll simply be something I have to figure out as I go.
To finish, I'll simply state the obvious and render the entire essay I just accidentally wrote meaningless in a stark metaphor for the impact of canon on my time in Inaba. Persona 4 was a huge part of my life, and my time in Inaba ended with the train ride home. When the credits rolled and the screen faded out with Tunoku looking at that picture of his friends, I found myself looking at that same picture with feelings of regret, of sadness, of hope that I'd see them again. Of fond memories about the time I spent with them. For that one moment, Ben Tunoku and Benjamin Holdsworth were the same person. We didn't want to leave Inaba, but we thought we'd be back again someday.
And now, almost five years later, I've been told that Inaba might be open for business again. And I want to go back. But I'm not sure if I can go back, now. Perhaps the train headed for Inaba isn't waiting for Ben Tunoku anymore.
And there you have it; 15 paragraphs of overly dramatic self-indulgent nonsense, but perhaps you're of a similar mindset and appreciate it. Or perhaps it's an interesting case for study over over-immersing oneself in a video game world, who can say. But either way, thank you for reading it, or at least scrolling past it to see how long it was.

marge simpson feline by wagnerfWatch
©2011-2016 wagnerf
wow pokemon???
This is the hottest image of Marge I seen! I never like her much before but in the cat costume makes her look hot! I suggest you should draw another one of her at least showing her butt next time!
Damn she's hot, i always thought mutated marge was hot since i saw that episode when it first aired. She's almost as hot as what happened to both April O'Neil in that Ninja Turtles episode or Selina Kyle (aka Catwoman) in that Batman TAS episode, remember those episodes?
She looks like Felicia and Bagi combined
She looks like Felicia and Bagi combined
she rocks
Sexy ^^
Been Waiting for this.
I'd do her, but I wouldn't survive, maybe.
Mjau xD
Only flaw I see is the number of fingers Other than that the pic is brilliant, and sexy
Only flaw I see is the number of fingers Other than that the pic is brilliant, and sexy
I made a equal 2 that.
I wonder if theres more furry Marge art out there.
Well this is....different.
*Is oddly attracted to*
*Is oddly attracted to*
yeah it chapter was very cool...!!!
You should do TF art on Marge
yep. looks so cool like that
Always loved that version of her.
Now blend the "cat Marge" version with the "large Marge" version.
Kick-Ass As Usual!!!
i remember the episode and you marge pic are the best
Ficou legal prá caramba! Perigosa,ameaçadora e ,ao mesmo tempo,bem sensual! É uma pena que haja tanta censura na TV americana,e o Matt Groening não tenha criatividade(Nem coragem! ) para fazer algo assim. Meus parabéns pelo bom trabalho!
Whoah. Marge makes a fine cat. *.*
Wow! Was that like a Treehouse of horror episode!? Its been so long I can't remember anymore...can't help but think about the episode where the gipsy woman cursed the family and marge was all...wookieish ><. Nice pic man!
My what big claws you have!!! ^_^ I noticed that you gave her 5 of them.
Wagner awesome as always!!!
Wagner awesome as always!!!
I remember that episode Great pic!

Oh no Marge's become a monster! Which I got to admit I started to suspect during the sex. _ Homer Simpson
Nice work Wagnerf
Nice work Wagnerf
why she turned in a feline?
Doctor Hibbert created humans animals, just like Doctor moreau.
This is well-drawn as usual, though I wonder why this hasn't caught on with furry fans.
And I don't suppose you intend to draw Homer as a Walrus, do you?
And I don't suppose you intend to draw Homer as a Walrus, do you?
Really cool, I remember this episode and I haven't seen it in a while.
Excellent art, wagner. She is uber sexy purrfect, yet dangerous.

Read "Autofilling Table Cells" in the Numbers User Guide. It's in Chapter 4. You can download the guide from the Help Menu links.
Wayne Contello Feb 18, 2013 6:26 PM
in response to AlexanderFun
in cell A1 and a value (let's say 1), then in A2 enter the "next" value (let's say 2), now select A1 and A2, then grab (click and hold) the little circle at the bottom right of the selection and drag down as needed to auto fill. This works with numbers, days, dates months, etc

Hi, Wayne, anyway thanks.
I'm sorry, i didn't explain in detail, in order to select automatically, we usually input some words or iterms often used, then by the data validation, we can make a sequence, that is to say, drop down list, so we can select acording to the list and input automatically. This is easy to create in excel, but in numbers, i don't know how to achieve this.

What you want is cells formatted as Pop-up menus. In the User Guide, see on Page 99
Using a Checkbox, Slider, Stepper, or Pop-Up Menu in Table Cells
You can set cell formats using the Cell Formats button in the Format bar, or in Inspector > Cells tab
Jerrold Green1 Feb 19, 2013 5:08 AM
in response to AlexanderFun Solved
We often take questions from users who aren't comfortable using English in the forums, or who are unfamiliar with the Numbers terminology. This is a very normal thing and we are not bothered by it. The more complete the problem statement is, the more easily we can come to understand the needs. It now seems that you are asking about a menu format. Numbers calls it a Pop-up Menu, as Ian notes. Unlike some more developed spreadsheet programs, Pop-up Menu cells must be programmed in the Cells Inspector. There is no feature to create the menu, or to edit the menu, in a table. We hope that feature will be added in a future upgrade of the Numbers application.

Hi, Jerry,
Thank you very much, I have solved this problem with your help.

I dunno which to prefer Honestly though I will have to go for this one just because it has the added Mountain element added to it which makes it slightly more.... open.... The Photo looks restricted to one spot and I do not really like that in photos.
Absolutely stunning!! So much detail! Awesome work!

In VS2010, I'm using TestDriven.net to execute unit tests. It seems that each time I run a test, another myappname.vshost.exe loads into memory. It not uncommon to accumulate well over 20 of these processes. Is there something I can do to prevent this?
Or, is there a quick way to kill all of these processes?

About Irish American Heritage Month
Since 1991, Presidents of both political parties has designated March as Irish American Heritage Month to recognize the contribution that Irish immigrants and their descendants have played in the formation of our Nation. Among those contributions are nine signers of the Declaration of Independence, over twenty of Washington's generals, the first man to hold a commission in the United States Navy, over 190,000 Irish born Americans who fought in the Civil War, pioneering women such as Nellie Bly and Christa McAuliffe, the inventor of the modern submarine and 253 Medal of Honor recipients who list the place of their birth as Ireland.
Despite this, the public is largely unaware of "Irish-American Heritage Month". Should not the contributions of Irish American have the same national and institutional recognition as other ethnic cultural celebrations, such as; National African American History/Black History Month, National Hispanic Heritage Month, Asia/Pacific American Heritage Month? Yet while taxpayer financed institutions such as the Smithsonian, the Library of Congress and even the armed services actively celebrate and recognize the contribution of the groups mentioned above through special programs and materials, they continue to ignore the contributions of Irish Americans.
Full and appropriate national celebrations and recognition can only happen when all Americans take action. Irish Americans have done so much to shape and form virtually all areas of life in the United States throughout our country's great history. We must act now and speak up in order to be heard.
