The FBI Truck is an Armored Personnel Carrier (APC) similar to the SWAT Tank intended to be featured in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.
A rugged near-indestructible police vehicle, the rear-wheel drive FBI Truck handles well on rough terrain and is capable of high speeds, making up for its poor steering and braking at high speed due to its weight. The FBI Truck is based on the Dodge Peacekeeper or Cadillac Gage Ranger (as the SWAT Tank is based on the Cadillac Gage Commando V-100).
The FBI Truck seems to be a well-armored police vehicle, but it has an average damage-proof body, like most vehicles ingame. Sadly, it cannot take many major hits from larger vehicles. Although the FBI Truck can withstand bullets for a decent amount of time, but only of several weapons (eg. Desert Eagle makes damage on the vehicle as on any other vehicles like Turismo). Also, there is also an opening at the top, where a member of the FBI would shoot from. Oddly, the FBI Truck seems to be well-armored and nearly indestructible, but it gets damaged even from the smallest hit.
As is with the Tram, it cannot be normally obtained by the player and it is not used by the FBI to chase the player when the player has a wanted level. It can only be obtained through the use of third-party trainers, cheat devices, car-spawner or modifications.
- Oddly, the FBI Truck uses SAPD markings instead of FBI markings for unknown reasons.
- The hatch from the top cannot be opened, even with mods.
- The car was meant to be featured on a mission called The Truth is Out There.

I've heard a couple comments recently about how clipping your cell phone to your belt/waist is a fashion faux pas
or even, nerdy.
I'm not real concerned about it myself, but I find it odd in so much as this is a practical way to carry your cell phone. What is the alternative? Women can throw theirs in a purse, but what options do guys have?
I get that sporting a mullet was in style at one time, but now is not. In the end, it is like many things that come and go with the times. But there is no practical reason to continue have to have a mullet hair cut
.or wear white pants in December
.or white socks with a suit
etc. It is just not fashionable to do so. But in the end attaching your phone to your waist is practical. How else is a guy (not wearing cargo pants/shorts with large/extra pockets) supposed to carry his cell phone?
Keep doing what you're doing to build Strong Towns.
Front pocket...simple as that.
Blackberry Tour BTW
Pocket, if you clip it to your belt you might as well strap on a fanny pack and throw it in there.
I wear pants or shorts with pockets to accommodate my cell phone, and I have the largest smartphone on the market too the EVO.
Clip it to my belt for work. Could care less that I look like a geek/dork or whatever.
When I'm not working I'll just throw it in a pocket in my cargo shorts. I assume cargo shorts are probably also behind the times.
Depends on the color of your jorts...
Unless you're carrying one of these I don't see how it wouldn't fit in your front pocket. Or maybe you wear incredibly tight jeans?
Some people can't wear jeans to work. In addition, I think skinny jeans may be back in.
I take the fashion risk of wearing mostly cargo shorts and pants and always put it in a pocket.
When I'm not wearing those, it usually goes in a front pocket. When I don't have pockets, I generally have to carry around a backpack or bag of some sort and it goes in there.

and the lump in your front pocket looks better? (spare the obvious joke here) It looks tacky IMO especially if you're wearing nice dress pants (which I do most days for work). Also, how's that comfortable with jeans?

Fine, but pants of any kind should be able to accommodate a cell phone shouldn't they? Maybe not leather, OP do you wear leather pants a lot?

How big is your phone that you can see a visible lump? We must be talking about a 10 year old Nokia here, maybe that's the confusion.
I carry my wallet in my front pocket along with my personal phone (Palm Pre) my work phone (HTC Incredible) and car keys. Sometimes I get crazy and throw in a chapstick or pen or gum.
Needless to say, no I am not happy to see you, its my personal items.
This is seriously so dumb. The only reason why I don't wear the belt clip is my love handles make it uncomfy. Seriously, though - I don't know if there's anything more annoying than the fashion police. If it weren't for my wife, I wouldn't see the problem with wearing my comfortable brown belt with my black shoes. That and I don't get the problem women have with wearing black shoes with a blue suit (women refuse to do it - they "have" to have blue shoes" or why you can't wear white shoes after Labor Day...
I would prefer the clip on at work but when I got the last new phone, and new holster thingie I kept knocking it out and busted up my phone. I just gave up and it goes in my pocket now. I didnt ever sport the holster outside of work, though. I'm not terribly concerned with what the fashionable think. I'm old enough to be out of style cause what I see 'stylish' people wearing I usually think looks ********.

She was just a few feet away from her apartment when a gun was aimed at her.
Her assailant ordered her to the ground and threatened to shoot her if she looked at him. As she kept her eyes locked on the ground, the suspect grabbed her purse and ran off.
Police say the robbery happened in the 3800 block of Lakehurst Drive, near Jetwing and Academy, at about 8:30 p.m.
The suspect has been described as a 20-something black man, 5-foot-6 with a medium build, dressed head-to-toe in dark clothing: a black hat, black hoodie and black pants.
Police are currently investigating the possibility that the robbery is connected to one 90 minutes earlier earlier on nearby Painted Sky View.
If you saw anything suspicious in that area, please call Crime Stoppers at 634-STOP.

Candlesticks, Patina
Casting an antique appearance, these candlesticks (11`` H) will add an earthy beauty to any Shabbat table. The plate is sold separately. The Vichinsky`s handcrafted Judaic ceremonial objects feature an uncluttered design which reflects their concern for balancing form with function. Their work has been featured in Better Homes & Gardens, and in the permanent collection of the Wolfson Museum in Jerusalem.
Bobeshes (drip cups) are recommended for all candlesticks and can be found in the candlestick section of our website.

WASHINGTON, DC (WUSA) -- Frequent flyer Deen Kemsley isn't sure what to expect when US Airways merges with American Airlines.
"It hurts competition. On the other hand, it also gives us more route choices on a particular airline, so if you're a frequent flyer, like I am, on American," he says.
It will be the largest carrier in the world, with more than 300 destinations in 56 countries.
Frequent fliers from both airlines should be able to keep their miles. But some analysts believe this may not be a sweetheart deal for passengers in the long run.
"Consumers end up paying more for airline tickets. In general, they have less convenience during mergers. There's less flights and schedules," says FareCompare CEO Rick Seaney.
The new company will take the American name and a brand new log.
The CEOs of both airlines will stay on board. US Airways chief, Doug Parker, will take the top spot.
Parker says, "We're going to work together between now and then to make sure we have a nice transition."
The merger will also bring major logistical challenges. The recent union of United and Continental led to a spike in customer complaints. This is the fourth major airline merger since 2008.
"I think it's just something that we have to accept, and hopefully, it will not lead to higher fares," Karen Daroff says.
If the deal does go through, just four airlines will control 70 percent of the market.
Passengers who have already booked tickets don't need to worry because the merger still has to clear several hurdles.
US Airways' shareholders have to vote and federal regulators have to sign off on it.
The deal is expected to be approved.

Comments On Jun 16, 2014:These braces offered me good protection & I attribute them to me having only one sore knee in 6 months of riding hard multiple times per week. Without the right brace I would have likely been in a world of hurt when I ended up sweeping a dead fall in tall grass. Instead of being badly injured I had a sore knee for a week.
I bought an XL set. They didn't fit in my SG10's well with my large calves. The ratchet mechanism on these is fluffy eye candy & IMO, is there to make this brace apear similar to some other high dollar units. I popped off the female portion of the closure mechanism & drilled an eye hole & a keyed slot. On the male portion of the mechanism I drilled a hole & used a chicago bolt. This eliminated a significant amount of girth that has to be tucked into the boot & worked well for me.
These braces have a number of pinch points in the design & are a little difficult to get adjusted properly every time they are stripped down to wash. They are also quite warm & bulky.
The bulky issue has worn holes through a cheaper set of Oneil & Fly F16 pants from the inside out over the last 3 months or so. I am also seeing wear on the interior lining of a set of Klim Mojavi pants after 3 rides & this, along with the regular pinching issues have me looking for an upgraded set of braces. I'm happy with the initial purchace of these for the clearance price I paid

Comments On May 22, 2014:These are good for the price. I don't know how much safety they actually provide as I have not twisted my knee yet wearing them...maybe that means they are working. The buckles are slightly difficult to get open. You also might want to order bigger straps for your boots as I can barely get mine latched while wearing these. Overall I think they are supportive, fairly comfortable, and seem to be wearing well.

Comments On Mar 26, 2014:Been wearing these for about two years now and have never really liked them. Major issue is with the velcro that holds the padding together. The original velcro pieces ripped off the plastic shell almost immediately. Replaced the velcro and got it to stick but the way these are designed when they bend it pulls the padding down exposing the hard plastic to your upper leg..not fun on long rides/2hr hare scrambles. Just never been impressed with the fit and finish on these, definitely more of a knee guard than a brace.

Comments On Nov 11, 2013:Worth the price. My first ride with these was of 5 hours and it was like using nothing on my knees.
Was this review helpful?
Comments On Apr 04, 2012:For the money, I don't think anything comes close. I've tried the les expensive braces/guards, and they are nothing compared to these. Easy to get on and off and very comfortable, and fit well under Klim pants.

Comments On Mar 12, 2012:I have hit so many trees and stumps with these braces and they don't break. Love them and while riding you don't know they are there.
Was this review helpful?
Comments On Feb 10, 2012:I bought them for my son. He likes the fit not being too bulky like EVS other mid priced braces. However, 2 buckles have broke and neither was while riding. I'm contacting EVS today to see what they'll do. I'll let you know here soon.

Comments On Jul 04, 2011:I bought the large size after following the recommended measurements and they are too big. I can't return them due to me not living in the USA. But my boots help to hold them up and in place so I'm happy with them sort-of.! I wear them with leg-ins to stop the chafing. The braces have given me a boost of confidence after a big stack without them on. It left me with a ruptured posterior cruciate ligament. The braces quite possibly could have prevented that injury. I wear them all the time now.
Was this review helpful?
Comments On Oct 05, 2010:I've had these since they first came out. They had to be sent back to EVS three times for repairs due to breaking during rides/races.
The braces broke all three time during normal off-road riding/racing. The failures were NOT due to crashes. EVS was very good at repairing them each time but I had to go weeks without them.
I also would not consider these a "brace" per se but an extensive knee protector that has coverage up into the thigh area.
There was slight irritation on the inside of my knee from squeezing the bike - even with liners on underneath. Not a big deal though.
I think the RS8's are great in concept but just not durable enough for the rigors of off-road racing.
Was this review helpful?
Comments On Jun 01, 2010:What a great value! My knees are trash and these fit perferctly and are very comfortable. The construction is better than others I have used, and the adjustability is great. Look at the fit chart before you order. They have my vote as the best brace I have used for the money.

As your representative in Congress I am committed to doing everything I can to help businesses create jobs. As a small business owner in the Tennessee Valley for over 25 years, I understand the driving factors of growing your business and the challenges that come along with that.
That's why in 2011 I announced my jobs plan for America "Less Government, More Jobs." My plan lays out seven ideas that are vital to getting Tennessee and our country back to work.
I believe that the free-market based solutions in my jobs plan are what we need to get people back to work now. The tax, borrow and spend policies of the Obama Administration are not the solutions and, in fact, are making the problem worse. My jobs plan is centered on less government and more freedom for private enterprises.
It's simple and clear. 7 steps we can take now to help get Tennesseans back to work:
1. Temporary reduction of the capital gains tax to 0%
2. Rein in regulatory agencies
3. Stability in the marketplace
a. Repeal ObamaCare
b. Repeal the Dodd-Frank Act
4. An energy policy based on domestic exploration
5. Tort reform
6. Tax reform
7. Free trade

Its 17th-century depiction of forests, castles and animals is based on traditional European folklore. Each bowl is crafted at a small Portuguese pottery where ceramists rely on time-honored techniques to meticulously decorate it by hand. The pieces feature a new creamy white background that sets off the intricate design.

This is the SIS (Intermediate level) Test Group, #1 of 3 (part of the Straight-in Shots group) from the Billiards Skills Competition Training Program book.
To score yourself (or when challenging your friends), see the Instructions below.
PURPOSE: Setup and shoot the layout three (or 5) times and record your score (see below). Ask a buddy (or several) to shoot the same shot. Compare scores. Pay the pot to the winner.
1) Buy a package of those little paper reinforcement rings (for binder paper) at any office supply section of any large store (i.e., Staples, Walmart, Target, etc.). These are also known as donuts.
2) Print out the Challenge Shootout table layout you want to try.
3) According to the table layout, put down the donuts on the practice table.
4) Set up the balls and start shooting. On a notepad, track your shots and scores.
Version 1 (3 shots per inning)
1 success in three = 1 point
2 successes in three = 2 points
3 successes in three = 5 points
Version 2 (5 shots per inning)
1 success in five = 1 point
2 successes in five = 2 points
3 successes in five = 4 points
4 successes in five = 6 points
5 successes in five = 10 points.
Challenge your buddies
Besides checking out your personal skills with the layout, get a few buddies together and put some money on the shooting and scoring results say, 25 cents per turn per person, with the pot going to the first person to get a perfect 10 points.
Or there can be a round robin of, say, five innings. Everyone shoots an inning, marks their score, and then repeats five times. Person with the highest score gets the pot.
(You can also handicap this i.e., a beginner might begin with 20 points, an intermediate with 10 points, and a good player at 0.)
These table layouts can be played on any size table.

|Martok (2374)
|At least one son named Drex
|Chancellor of the Klingon Empire
|J.G. Hertzler
Martok (played by J.G. Hertzler) was a Klingon warrior who rose to the rank of general in the Klingon Defense Forces, and later became Chancellor of the Klingon High Council. His brilliant leadership during the Dominion War made him very popular both among other warriors and among the civilian population. As the leader of the House of Martok, he became a good friend of Worf while the two were stationed together on Deep Space 9.
Early career
Martok was born in the lowlands of Ketha Province on Qo'noS to a common family. Fifteen generations of Martok's family had served the Empire as warriors, but Martok's father had hopes that Martok could become an officer. It took some doing, but Martok was able to take the entrance exam, and passed. However, when he went before the oversight council, his application was rejected. Kor, Dahar master, felt that it was inappropriate for a man without noble blood to become an officer in the Klingon forces. With the "mark of Kor" on his record, Martok was reduced to a civilian laborer and served on board General ShiVang's flagship from around 2345 to 2350.
Fortune would smile on Martok, however. During a battle with the Romulans, Martok's ship was boarded. Martok acquitted himself so well in the fighting that he earned a battlefield commission. (DS9: "Once More Unto the Breach") From there, Martok worked his way up the ranks until he became a general. He played an important role in commanding the forces loyal to Gowron at the Battle of Mempa during the Klingon Civil War in 2368, and began his steady rise to hero status in the Empire. (DS9: "Apocalypse Rising")
By 2372, Martok had become an important military advisor to Gowron, and was instrumental in convincing Gowron to attack the Cardassian Union, starting the Klingon-Cardassian War. (DS9: "The Way of the Warrior") However, it was not realized until early in 2373 that Martok had actually been replaced by a Changeling some time in late 2371, and the Changeling was attempting to foment war between the powers of the Alpha Quadrant as a prelude to Dominion invasion. This Changeling was discovered by a Federation covert ops team on Ty'Gokor in 2373. (DS9: "Apocalypse Rising")
The real Martok had not been killed, however. After he was abducted from Qo'noS while hunting Sabre bear on Kang's Summit, Martok was taken by the Dominion into the Gamma Quadrant and imprisoned in Internment Camp 371, where it was expected he would spend the remainder of his life. There, he was forced to fight the Jem'Hadar in single hand-to-hand combat, as the Jem'Hadar were training for an invasion of the Alpha Quadrant. During one of the fights, First Ikat'ika maimed Martok by destroying his left eye, leaving him half-blind.
In mid-2373, Martok was joined in the camp by Worf and Elim Garak. Worf was also made to fight against the Jem'Hadar in daily combat, and Martok served as his "coach" and supporter. He even saved Worf's life in a moment of tova'dok (understanding between two warriors). (DS9: "Soldiers of the Empire") Together, Martok's and Worf's actions in fighting the Jem'Hadar kept the Dominion soldiers occupied long enough for Garak to complete modifications to a secret transmitter that commanded a nearby runabout to beam the prisoners out of the camp. (DS9: "In Purgatory's Shadow", "By Inferno's Light")
Fighting the Dominion
Following his escape from the prison camp, Martok returned with Worf, Garak, and Julian Bashir to Deep Space 9. There, with the approval of Gowron, Martok was made the commander of the detachment of Klingon soldiers assigned to the station. (DS9: "By Inferno's Light")
Late that year, Martok was given his first field assignment following his imprisonment — command of the IKS Rotarran, with orders to locate the missing cruiser IKS B'Moth. Recognizing his inexperience following his confinement, he invited Worf to join the mission as his first officer. Martok was initially unaccustomed to commanding a Klingon warship, and, combined with the crew's already-low morale (thanks to a long string of defeats against the Dominion), made for a dangerous situation aboard the Bird-of-Prey. Martok himself exacerbated the situation by deliberately avoiding several opportunities to engage the Jem'Hadar in combat.
The situation came to a head when the crew nearly mutinied against Martok, but Worf changed the situation by challenging Martok himself, accusing his friend and commanding officer of being a coward. In the fight, Martok severely injured Worf and retained command, gaining the crew's loyalty and realizing his duty as a soldier of the empire. (DS9: "Soldiers of the Empire")
After the Dominion War broke out, Martok, along with Worf, was instrumental in convincing Gowron to lend support to Starfleet's offensive to recapture Deep Space 9 from the Dominion in Operation Return. Although Klingon forces were late arriving at the battle, they played an important role in defeating the Dominion fleet in that engagement. (DS9: "Favor the Bold", "The Sacrifice of Angels")
Martok continued to serve as commander of the Rotarran, and was later promoted to supreme commander of the combined Starfleet-Klingon Ninth Fleet in early 2374. Martok resented the position because of all the paperwork and bureaucracy involved in commanding an entire fleet, and also resented his elderly "assistant", Darok. (DS9: "You Are Cordially Invited...", "Once More Unto the Breach") As commander of the Ninth Fleet, Martok led several of the most important engagements in the war, including the First Battle of Chin'toka, the Second Battle of Chin'toka, and the Battle of Cardassia. (DS9: "Tears of the Prophets", "The Changing Face of Evil", "What You Leave Behind")
Ascension to chancellorship
As one of the most prominent military leaders in the war, Martok gained immense popularity in the Empire for his near-heroic exploits against the Dominion. Gowron, ever the politician, feared Martok's popularity and devised a plan to discredit Martok and end any potential threat to his authority. In late 2375, he presented Martok with the medal of the Order of Kahless, and immediately assumed personal command of Klingon forces on the front lines, relegating Martok to a secondary command role. (DS9: "When It Rains...") Gowron then began ordering Martok on near-suicidal missions against Dominion forces, hoping that a string of defeats would weaken Martok's popularity and discredit him as a military leader. However, Worf and Benjamin Sisko recognized that Gowron was jeopardizing the entire war effort to satisfy his political ego. Worf tried to convince Martok to challenge Gowron for the leadership on the grounds of dishonorable conduct in orchestrating the discrediting of Martok. However, Martok refused to betray his loyalty to Gowron, despite the latter's treachery.
Worf then challenged Gowron himself, accusing Gowron of being a coward for squandering the Empire's resources on a petty act of vengeance. Gowron was killed in the fight, but rather than accept the position of chancellor, Worf appointed Martok to the position instead. Martok tried to refuse, claiming he did not seek the leadership, but Worf responded by quoting Kahless: "Great men do not seek power, they have power thrust upon them." (DS9: "Tacking into the Wind")
Following the successful conclusion of the war, Martok returned to Qo'noS to assume the role of leading the Empire and finally purging it of the corruption that had so weakened it in the past. (DS9: "What You Leave Behind")
Personal details
Martok was married to Lady Sirella, a noble woman, and they had at least one son, named Drex. (DS9: "You Are Cordially Invited...", "The Way of the Warrior") Martok was by all rights a traditional Klingon; he viewed marriage as another form of combat, albeit one disguised and more subtle than most. (DS9: "The Changing Face of Evil")
When he was young, Martok had a pet targ; "a filthy, mangy beast" as he once said. As Martok was moving into Sirella's house following their marriage, Sirella "accidentally" left the door open and the targ escaped, and Martok never saw him again. (DS9: "You Are Cordially Invited...")
During the time they spent serving together on Deep Space 9 and on the Rotarran, Martok became close friends with Worf. He invited Worf to join the House of Martok as a friend and brother in late 2373. (DS9: "Soldiers of the Empire") He also later invited Worf's son Alexander Rozhenko as well. (DS9: "Sons and Daughters")
In late 2375, after becoming Chancellor, Martok requested that Worf be appointed as the Federation's ambassador to Qo'noS. Worf accepted, something that pleased Martok to no end — he observed that he had someone to go targ hunting with. (DS9: "What You Leave Behind")

Officer collected as much as $15,000 per unauthorized immigrant he let into U.S.
San Diego A former Customs and Border Protection officer has pleaded guilty to conspiracy, bringing in unauthorized immigrants for financial gain and bribery, federal prosecutors in San Diego said.
Hector Rodriguez, 45, admitted at a court hearing last week that for almost two years he accepted bribes in exchange for allowing carloads of unauthorized immigrants at the San Ysidro border crossing to pass through the lane he staffed.
Also pleading guilty was a co-defendant, Gerardo Rodriguez, who is not related.
Court records said Hector Rodriguez on 37 occasions allowed cars to pass through his inspection lane without being properly checked. In more than half those instances, the cars were being driven by Gerardo Rodriguez.
After crossing, Gerardo Rodriguez would collect cash for the transit, between $10,000 and $15,000 per person.
Hector Rodriguez was arrested July 13 along with Gerardo Rodriguez, 42, and another co-defendant, Vanessa Moya, 30. She was also a driver whom Hector Rodriguez allowed to pass through with a load of unauthorized immigrants. She pleaded guilty to conspiracy, bribery and bringing in unauthorized immigrants for financial gain in December.
As part of his guilty plea, Hector Rodriguez will forfeit a 2009 Jaguar, a dozen luxury watches, televisions, computers and jewelry. Gerardo Rodriguez will give up a 2005 Mercedes, a 2006 Harley-Davidson, $60,000 in cash as well as computers and televisions, the U.S. Attorney's Office said.
They face five years in prison on the conspiracy charge, and 15 years on the bribery and smuggling charges.

The Norway-class was a type of Federation starship in service with Starfleet during the 2370s. Armament included a phaser emitter mounted on the dorsal bow.
In 2373, at least four Norways saw action at the Battle of Sector 001. (Star Trek: First Contact)
Ships commissioned
- USS Budapest (NCC-64923)
- Star Trek: First Contact
- DS9: "Favor the Bold" (display graphic)
- VOY: "In the Flesh" (display graphic)
Studio model
The Norway-class starship was one of the four CGI models designed by Alex Jaeger, once referred to by him as being "Voyager–esque", for the Battle of Sector 001 in Star Trek: First Contact. (American Cinematographer, December 1996, p. 70) A single image of the CGI rendering can be seen in Star Trek: The Next Generation Sketchbook: The Movies. During the pre-production phase of the film, the producers approved alternative backups for ship names and registries. The ship scale sheet showing the back-up names and registries can be found on John Eaves' blog. The CGI model of the Norway-class was constructed at Industrial Light & Magic (ILM) by Larry Tan and Paul Theren, executed in the Electric Image software for animation, and Form-Z software for the model itself. [X]wbm
One year later, ILM was requested by Paramount to hand over their CGI models made for First Contact – the Norway amongst them – to Digital Muse for reprogramming in the LightWave 3D software, in preparation for use in the upcoming Deep Space Nine episode "Sacrifice of Angels", but the Norway design was never again featured. One of the apparent factors for the model of the Norway not appearing in later productions following First Contact, was according to DS9 Visual Effects Supervisor David Stipes at the conclusion of Deep Space Nine's sixth season, that "the Norway needs to be resurfaced and modified," further stating that it "may be done on later episodes." [1] This was apparently never completed, and, as rumor had it, the CGI files for the Norway were either lost [2] or corrupted [3], the latter the more likely as it was something Stipes himself hinted at in an earlier blog entry, "I believe we removed the Norway-class for technical reasons". This made First Contact the only CGI appearance of the Norway design.
Though the class has never appeared on screen again as a model since First Contact, it did re-appear as display image graphics, they featuring in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine's "Favor the Bold" and Star Trek: Voyager's "In the Flesh". The latter display prop, which clearly reads "Norway-class", was later sold as Lot 5212 in the August 2007 It's A Wrap! sale and auction for US$2,025.00. The Deep Space Nine transparency was lifted from Doug Drexler's art he made for representation of the class in the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Technical Manual (page 154).
Technical Manual
The following information of specifications and defenses comes exclusively from the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Technical Manual:
- Production Base: ASDB Integration Section, Spacedock 1, Earth
- Type: Medium Cruiser
- Accommodation: 190 officers and crew; 500 personal evacuation limit
- Power Plant: One 1,500 plus Cochrane warp core feeding two nacelles; one impulse system
- Dimensions: Length, 364.77 meters; beam, 225.61 meters; height, 52.48 meters
- Mass: 622,000 metric tonnes
- Performance: Warp 9.7 for 12 hours
- Armament: Six type-10 phaser emitters; two photon torpedo launchers
In the video game Star Trek: Starfleet Command III, it was stated that a Norway-class starship had a crew complement of 337 personnel, including three passengers and fourteen dependents.
- Norway-class ship names in Starfleet Command III:
- USS Aliyah
- USS Assawari
- USS De Ruyter
- USS Defence
- USS Glorie
- USS Groton
- USS Iowa
- USS Kortenauer
- USS Medina
- USS Meko
- USS Michigan
- USS Mikasa
- USS Missouri
- USS Naken
- USS North Carolina
- USS Norway
- USS Olympia
- USS Pervenetz

The Norway class is also a playable ship in Star Trek: Legacy.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) -- A deal to loan Mark Martin to Joe Gibbs Racing as a replacement driver for injured Denny Hamlin fell apart Friday, when Michael Waltrip Racing said Martin will fulfill his commitment to its team.
When the dust settled for both teams, Brian Vickers wound up as Hamlin's replacement driver for at least four races. He was already scheduled to drive Martin's car for MWR at Martinsville next week and will keep that commitment, with Martin driving Hamlin's car.
Then Martin will go back to MWR, and Vickers will drive Hamlin's car until he's medically cleared to return from a fractured vertebra in his lower back.
The about-face came down from MWR roughly 24 hours after JGR said Martin will take over the No. 11 Toyota until Hamlin returns. He's out at least five races.

Wynn Resorts Ltd Stock Hold Recommendation Reiterated (WYNN)
TheStreet) -- Wynn Resorts (Nasdaq: WYNN) has been reiterated by TheStreet Ratings as a hold with a ratings score of C+ . The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its impressive record of earnings per share growth, increase in net income and notable return on equity. However, as a counter to these strengths, we also find weaknesses including weak operating cash flow, a generally disappointing performance in the stock itself and generally higher debt management risk.Editor's Note: TheStreet ratings do not represent the views of TheStreet's staff or its contributors. Ratings are established by computer based on metrics for performance (which includes growth, stock performance, efficiency and valuation) and risk (volatility and solvency). Companies with poor cash flow or high debt levels tend to earn lower ratings in our model. NEW YORK (

- WYNN RESORTS LTD has improved earnings per share by 41.2% in the most recent quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago. The company has demonstrated a pattern of positive earnings per share growth over the past two years. We feel that this trend should continue. This trend suggests that the performance of the business is improving. During the past fiscal year, WYNN RESORTS LTD increased its bottom line by earning $4.89 versus $1.28 in the prior year. This year, the market expects an improvement in earnings ($5.44 versus $4.89).
- The net income growth from the same quarter one year ago has exceeded that of the S&P 500 and greatly outperformed compared to the Hotels, Restaurants & Leisure industry average. The net income increased by 13.1% when compared to the same quarter one year prior, going from $122.03 million to $138.06 million.
- 35.40% is the gross profit margin for WYNN RESORTS LTD which we consider to be strong. Regardless of WYNN's high profit margin, it has managed to decrease from the same period last year. Despite the mixed results of the gross profit margin, the net profit margin of 11.00% trails the industry average.
- WYNN's stock share price has done very poorly compared to where it was a year ago: Despite any rallies, the net result is that it is down by 26.99%, which is also worse that the performance of the S&P 500 Index. Investors have so far failed to pay much attention to the earnings improvements the company has managed to achieve over the last quarter. Turning toward the future, the fact that the stock has come down in price over the past year should not necessarily be interpreted as a negative; it could be one of the factors that may help make the stock attractive down the road. Right now, however, we believe that it is too soon to buy.
- Net operating cash flow has decreased to $322.33 million or 36.52% when compared to the same quarter last year. In addition, when comparing the cash generation rate to the industry average, the firm's growth is significantly lower.

IN a YEAR TOP-HEAVY with GENERIC MOVIE PRODUCT, I LOVE YOU, BETH COOPER MAY BE the MOST GENERIC MOVIE of 'EM ALL...
THE STANDARD ISSUE "HIGH-SCHOOL-GEEK-with-a-CRUSH-on-the-HEAD-CHEERLEADER" TEEN COMEDY, BETH COOPER HAS ABOUT as MUCH CHANCE of MAKING a KILLING at the BOX OFFICE as TRANNIES, TOO HAS of BEING a BEST PICTURE OSCAR® NOMINEE.
FEATURING a CAST and CREW of MOSTLY HACKS-for-HIRE, BETH COOPER WILL BE LUCKY to EVEN BE REMEMBERED COME YEAR's END...LET ALONE BY the END of ITS OPENING WEEKEND...

Am I the only person who thinks Hayden Panettiere isn't that hot and is about as talented as any actress that the Disney Channel hires? She's almost as overrated as Jessica Alba or Megan Fox, in the "all looks, no talent" department.

I still remember the movie Remember the Titans, with Denzel Washington and Will Patton. Back then, Hayden was so young. Believe me, no one can stay that young forever...

True, Hayden was once part of Disney Channel's herd of actreses. But that was during the time we still had Even Stevens (remember when Christy Carlson Romano was going to be a big actress?), that Tru Confessions movie (remember when Disney dealt with real-life situations?), and Kim Possible (remember when Disney Channel aired cartoons?)
I don't know about Megan Fox, though. Whether or not she's a good actress is up in the air. She could have easily been an actress who did only DTV junk for the rest of her life, but she became a big star after Transformers. And look at all the films she has in the pipeline. Hell, that Jennifer's Body film looks downright entertaining, something that could join Drag Me to Hell as one of the best times any true horror fan would have at the cineplex. And who could roll their eyes at the "It smells like Thai food. Have you guys been f**king?" and "I go both ways" jokes? And let's not forget the creators of Juno are behind it, Jason Reitman and Diablo Cody, and from what I hear, they're hot commodities.
Jessica Alba seems like a lost cause. She went from a Golden Globe nominee for Dark Angel (a James Cameron TV show no less) to one of the worst actresses of our generation. Let's hope whoever plays Sue Storm in the long-gestating Fantatic Four reboot can do more than half the job she could. Though I would keep Michael Chiklis and Chris Evans, they filled the shoes of their roles respectively.
You think you know, but you have no idea.

Ulgh... Chris Evans' Human Torch had my brain cringing! Chiklis was fine though, and I didn't really have a big problem with (Insanely British Name Guy) as Reed Richards.
Jennifer's Body didn't look terrible. "I go both ways" didn't do anything for me.
And then, oh yes, THIS movie. Yea, I don't think it looked like a straight to DVD, but as for "most forgettable," I could see that. This looks utterly devoid of any major appeal. But from what I gather, the twist is that the prom queen learns to be herself, and SHE'S the character who evolves, rather than the nerd, so... that's different. It looks pretty bland though, in general.

I have no idea why Fox is a mainstream actress. She looks like a porn star, she has the acting ability of a porn star, she once said she has the sex drive of a porn star, so I say she might as well become a porn star, because when people go to see her movies, it's not her performances they want to see.

The fact that Beth Cooper was directed by the same guy who directed Home Alone and Mrs. Doubtfire is the biggest shocker since I found out Mark Waters was directing Ghosts of Girlfriends Past.

Back in April when I saw 17 Again, I was for sure that I had seen the
worst teen comedy movie of the year. I now stand corrected 6 1/2
months later after seeing I Love You, Beth Cooper. This is without a
doubt, one of the worst coming-of-age comedies I've seen in years, and I
will eat my hand if I see a worse one this year (or five years in fact).
What I find most interesting is that it's based on a well-received novel
and the screenplay written by the same author of the original book.
Throw in the guy who directed Home Alone and Mrs. Doubtfire
and one would think that this would be one of the funniest movies of the
year. So what went wrong in the process? I have no idea where I should
point my fingers, but whatever wit or insight there was in the screenplay
must have been lost in translation somehow because barely is the movie
tolerable, let alone appealing.

I was expecting more from this movie.
This counts as comedy but found it more serious than comedy. I think in this movie is too less College style jokes. But this is my personal opinion.
If you want to spend good evening with your girlfriend this movie will entertain very good.

Since the '80s we've been told geeks can get the most popular girl.And it's true...unless:
1)The guy has 0 charm and confidence.
2)The guy does something stupid or awkward every 2 seconds.
3)The guy's feelings for the girl are only physical(she points it out at one point).
4)The girl,despite moments of sweetness,is a total b*tch!
5)The guy and the girl's talks aren't deep and they bond over practically nothing.
I was pissed that they kept shoving that message down our throats and at the same time highlighting the guy's geekness.
The movie was funny and sweet,but not enough.And the entire time is obvious why,and how it could've been funnier and sweeter.
I give this 5/10.

Is it possible that the U.S. governments response to the 9/11 attacks has served al-Qaeda interests? Despite the hype, U.S. law-enforcement officials have found little evidence of serious terrorist activities inside the country, compelling them to escalate their use of prosecution and entrapment to justify their enormous budgets.

Recorded: Thursday, February 16, 2006
The recent elections in Iraq have not resolved the main problems therea constitutional crisis, continued terrorism, a potent Sunni rebellion, and fighting between religious and ethnic groups that could result in a full-blown civil war. Is the Iraq war a hopeless quagmire that has been lost, or can the U.S. still foster a united, peaceful and prosperous Iraq?

Dr. Jorge Orochena S., the Director of Services Organization, from the Health Services Department, gave his blessings and endorsed the continuance of the Salud del Sol solar autoclave project. After the team's technical explanation of the autoclave and its workings, Dr. Orochena praised the idea for its utility in health clinics without electricity—the great majority of the clinics in the country. He is only aware of about 10 of 935 clinics that do not have good access to direct sunlight. He readily acknowledged the environmental benefits of such a device and discussed ideas for the device itself, including the importance of an alarm or other method to verify sterilization.

I've been seeing videos and posts as of late inferring that bands are an ineffective tool for strength training. Here is a quick rebuttal I made:
I've been seeing videos and posts as of late inferring that bands are an ineffective tool for strength training. Here is a quick rebuttal I made:
There is this whole new wave of raw, boxless, bandless, chainless lifting mostly coming from the guys at juggernaut who i respect greatly, especially brandon lilly, that i find incrediblly aggravating. He has a new video out that essentially is another westside/gear bash. I didnt expect this from him.
2000 or bust
Chris this is a good summary on the benefits of bands. What is you take on the nay sayers cons to bands such as (I'm no agreeing with the cons, just want your take):
Bands put you in a groove and prevents you from building stability since the bands lock you in place?
Bands train the wrong end of the strength curve for raw lifters since the most force is on the top and most people struggle on the bottom?
People who train on a box and with bands lack stability in the hole and should be doing pause squats instead?
Or overall, is there a balance, and based on your weaknesses/strengths will depend on how much band work you do. Geared lifter more band work than raw. Weak lockout more band work then someone weak off the chest or in the hole?
I agree the bands impart stability in one sense, but depending upon their placement (i.e. the angle of the band) they can also do just the opposite and force the lifter to fight the band pulling them laterally one way or the other. I think this is a non-issue if both bands and straight weight are used.
The strength curve argument is stupid. Even with the squat where there may be some validity to the argument, see my above point of including straight weight in your rotation.
The same argument for the box squat.
Cool vid, thnx
yes, it is 9.8 m/s2
Now, couldn't one also make the argument that bands are a very effective tool for hypertrophy - and by extension strength? As well as many other arguments I suppose.
"Those who think they have not time for bodily exercise will sooner or later have to find time for illness" - Edward Stanley
Very informative, thanks Chris.
If I could ask you to expand on one point, does training with overspeed eccentrics carry over to one's lifts with straight weight (e.g., at a meet)?
Meet PRs: Squat 455 / Bench 270 / Deadlift 525
The greats weren't great because at birth they could paint; the greats were great because they paint a lot. - Macklemore
Be happy. This world can be ugly, but isn't it beautiful? - Jack's Mannequin
Bands make me seriously, seriously f'ing sore.... thats all I can say about them. I've rotated them in and out of training for years, and they still make me seriously f'ing sore.
Finally ELITE @ SHW..
Single ply: 931 squat, 760 bench, 530 deadlift and 2180 total
Multi ply: 960 squat, 770 bench, 550 deadlift and 2250 total.

Not until the plans were made, and executed, did the meaning of the date sink in.
Sure enough, though, I attended a screening of Lincoln last Monday, exactly 149 years to the day after the 16th president, on Nov. 19, 1863, ventured to the dedication of a new cemetery at Gettysburg and delivered the "few appropriate remarks" that became the most famous and meaningful speech in American history.
Those 272 words, memorialized and memorized by generations, form the basis of the very first scene of Steven Spielberg's instant masterpiece. It comes from soldiers, both white and black, reading back the speech to Abe as he bids them farewell on their latest trip to the front lines.
Right there, and in every scene that follows, we are transformed back to a time when our nation's very existence was still in question, and it took a particular, self-made genius from the Midwest to try and bind things back together amid fratricidal bloodshed unimaginable to our times.
From the moment it was known that Spielberg had gained the rights to adapt Doris Kearns Goodwin's masterful Team of Rivals for the big screen, the apprehension, and excitement, grew. What would our most famous and imaginative filmmaker do with the large, overwhelming subject of the greatest president in our history?
Libraries are filled with exhaustive scholarship dealing with Abraham Lincoln. Add to it the multiple potrayals of him in movies and TV, and the inevitable caricature that emerges – tall man, beard, honest – are so ingrained that to shake that image is nearly impossible.
That's the challenge Spielberg, and screenwriter Tony Kushner, faced. Skilled as they are, it still would have been quite easy, and quite understandable, for them to turn Lincoln into something sprawling and myopic, a life treatment of the man that would make him heroic, almost saintly.

Picture it.
You're lying on a chaise lounge on your tent's private veranda, without a care in the world. Spread before you is the Maasai Mara, a green landscape that undulates into infinity. A herd of giraffe nibble on acacia trees in the middle distance. Elephants are silhouetted against the sinking sun. Hippos chortle and bubble in the waters of the Mara River below.
A waiter comes to bring a bucket of champagne. You thank him with a smile. And you didn't have to move from your chaise lounge to find your wallet…
Earlier that day you said goodbye to your driver guide in another game park—that "thank you" was said with a hug and an exchange of emails. You've promised to send him the video you took of him dancing and singing a song in Swahili.
You sip from your chilled glass, sigh and stretch to the last rays of sun warming your face. You haven't had this few worries since childhood.
And your wallet? That's been tucked away in a series of room safes since you arrived in Africa—you haven't had to use it once.
Sounds too good to be true? It is… unless you're on safari with Micato. This year, in a practically unprecedented move, absolutely every tip is covered on your safari.
Yes, we're covering ALL tips, even those to your Micato safari directors, drivers, and guides—something virtually no other tour company in the world does. Also included are gratuities to the Micato concierges as well as the staff you'll meet at every lodge, camp, and hotel during your safari.
So imagine it. Throughout your safari, every "thank you" will be said not with cash, but with a handshake or a hug. In other words, friendship—the best thanks of all and with Micato, the only thanks necessary.

The 6-foot-4, 222-pound pass-rusher had spoken some to head coach Bob Stoops but as of yet had no contact with Wright.According to Irokansi the first meeting between himself and the Sooner coaching staff, things couldn't have gone much better."The visit was great. I just met all the defensive coaches and even some offensive coaches and saw some players. It went pretty well," Irokansi said. "We got to watch them practice and coach Wright seemed like my coach, I like the way he coaches. I also got to watch coach Brent Venables and coach Bob Stoops. We actually got to see an hour and thirty minutes of practice, so we got to see them coaching and how they do things." ...More... To continue reading this article you must be a member. Sign Up Now!

A 60-mile stretch of highway has reopened after a suspicious item found in the roadway was removed.
Highway 50 was closed in both directions from Montrose to Gunnison for three hours Thursday night while crews investigated.
According to Colorado State Patrol, a CDOT worker found a container with unknown contents on a pole in the Dillon Pinnacles overlook area, which is near the Blue Mesa Reservoir on Highway 50. After troopers responded to the scene, they decided to shut the highway down as a precaution to investigate the item further.
HAZMAT crews and the Grand Junction Bomb Squad were then called in to help evaluate. After arriving, they determined that the item was not an explosive or hazardous. It was taken into custody for further testing and evaluation.
Highway 50 was shut down in both directions from 7:30 p.m.-10:30 p.m.

Newport Harbor Corp., a hospitality company located in Newport, R.I., has offset 100% of its electricity needs for its entire hotel, restaurant and corporate portfolio with wind power. The purchase represents the first private company in the state to be certified by the Environmental Protection Agency's Green Power Partnership program at the leadership level.
Newport Harbor purchased renewable energy credits (RECs) from Sterling Planet, a Norcross, Ga.-headquartered retail provider of solar, wind and other renewable energy sources. According to the companies, the wind power Newport Harbor purchased is generated from many different wind farms across the U.S.
'Moving away from traditional energy to green power is a natural fit within our company's overall philosophy,' says Paul O'Reilly, Newport Harbor's president and chief executive officer. 'Our company is 46 percent employee-owned, and our core values reflect their wishes – making better choices for our environment through our corporate and culinary decisions and practices.'
Newport Harbor's estimated annual traditional electricity cost is $333,876. With the green purchase, the cost increased 2.3%, or approximately $8,700. To offset this increase, the company plans on implementing energy-efficient products in its businesses. Newport Harbor owns and operates a number of companies in the area, including Castle Hill Inn & Resort, 22 Bowen's Wine Bar & Grille, The Mooring Seafood Kitchen & Bar, Blackstone Caterers and the Newport Yachting Center.
