LEWISTON – For centuries, the circus has captivated and delighted audiences around the globe, becoming a cultural phenomenon. Now, for the first time, step inside the ring, where the stories are true and the magic is real, for an intimate look at the mystery and thrill of it all with CIRCUS, a multi-part documentary premiering November 3, 2010, 9:00-11:00 p.m. ET on MPBN, the Maine Public Broadcasting Network.
Over the course of six dramatic hours, Show of Force, the production company whose founding partners were two of the key creative visionaries behind the Emmy Award-winning PBS series Carrier, turns its lenses on the world-renowned Big Apple Circus. CIRCUS follows the company on an unforgettable journey from the big top to the "back lot," where nail-biting drama unfolds both high in the air and down on the ground and the real heart of the circus beats.
CIRCUS goes behind the scenes to explore a distinctive world with its own rules and lingo and no fixed address. It reveals the sights, sounds and stories of the circus' fascinating cultural legacy in unprecedented breadth and scope as viewers escape into a place of passion, excitement, perseverance and even heartache. From the training and rehearsals to the bravery and the intensity of life — and work — in the circus, the cameras capture it all. Grab a front-row seat as members of the Big Apple family experience life-changing moments:
Founder and artistic director Paul Binder announces his departure and faces the realities of leaving behind his home and his creation, the Big Apple Circus, after 30 years in the ring.
New clown Glen Heroy searches for his place under the big top while dealing with a haunting past.
Twin brothers Marty and Jake LaSalle, life-long juggling partners, battle with the decision to keep their act together or part ways professionally.
Teen acrobat Christian Stoinev grapples with leaving the family circus legacy for a "normal" life in college.
Love fizzles and blossoms inside the close-knit group of ring crew members.
A long-time company member faces the challenge of a life-threatening illness.
Acts are fired and hired as the circus — and its performers — face tough times.
Still, the show must go on.
"CIRCUS reveals the lives of the men and women who create the magic and wonder of this enduring art form," says John F. Wilson, PBS senior vice president and chief TV programming executive. "Viewers can delve more deeply into the circus experience through engaging online content and explore educational elements, which reveal some of the science behind the amazing feats and tricks."
"CIRCUS offers an intimate portrait of the amazing performers from around the world, as well as those that construct the tent, fit and tailor the costumes and choreograph the show. The series highlights the physical demands of human performance as well as the confinements of living life on the road for 10 months straight with 150 other people of differing nationalities, belief systems and backgrounds.
Throughout the series, viewers are provided with an exclusive look at unbelievable performances, including:
Death-defying trapeze troupe the Flying Cortes.
Russian barre act the Rodion Troupe, winners of some of circus' most coveted international honors.
Dog trainer and 8th generation circus performer Luciano Anastasini.
Disciplined and stunning tightrope walker Sarah Schwarz.
Veteran equestrian husband and wife team Christine Zerbini and Sultan Kumisbayev.
"For the first time, viewers can explore this unique lifestyle in some of the most unprecedented, revealing and honest footage seen on television," said Maro Chermayeff, CIRCUS executive producer, co-creator and director. "Viewers will laugh, cry and ultimately relate to the characters in this unscripted drama that illuminates the enduring mystery and allure of the circus."
The six-hour series is a never-before-seen look into how a traveling big-top show functions. Constantly in motion, startlingly insular and completely interdependent for months on end, the circus community demands a uniquely high level of sociability, diplomacy and flat-out patience. Audiences will quickly discover that running away to the circus does not always guarantee one's troubles won't eventually catch up.
"While the circus community is unique unto itself, our series reveals that struggles and hardships are universal," said Jeff Dupre, CIRCUS executive producer, co-creator and director. "From the economic crisis that hit while we were filming to personal tragedies faced by the cast and crew, CIRCUS uncovers the real individuals behind the magic."
CIRCUS airs on MPBN over three consecutive Wednesdays, starting November 3rd from 9:00 pm to 11:00 pm.

Looking to buy plushies to gain new tokens? Well you've come to the right place! I recently went on vacation and found a few stores with a lot of Neopets plushies for sale. Looking to provide others with new tokens, I bought as many as I could. Now I'm a little strapped for cash and I'm looking to sell them as quickly as possible! These plushies are good presents for all ages: for those who want to fill their collector case, collect the plushies themselves, or to the little ones that would love Neopets.
These 6" Neopets plushies are all for sale on eBay. Go ahead and take a look!
These are the plushies I currently have listed on eBay:
Yellow Flotsam - Series 4 - 7 Available
Red Ixi - Series 4 - 4 Available
Purple Kau - Series 4 - 2 Available
Pink Korbat - Sold Out
Split Grundo - Series 4 - 9 Available
Striped Usul - Series 4 - 2 Available
Rainbow Blumaroo - Series 4 - 7 Available
Rainbow Chomby - Series 4 - 2 Available
Halloween Jubjub - Sold Out
I did find some rarer plushies from different series locally, but I cannot buy and then sell them until I sell most of these first. So be sure to stop by and take a look! :3
If you are a plushie collector and are not in it for the codes (I know you're out there somewhere), feel free to message me about purchasing a plushie with no code. Options can be found here, in my Neopets Collector Case. Most of those tokens that I've obtained have a tag-less plushie looking for a good home. And I'll even make the shipping free; just message me to set up a price and eBay listing.
Many thanks to the Jellyneo staff for letting me post here! I was in need of a base of operations, and now I have one. Thanks again. <3

Junauda Petrus had been living in New York when she was initially inspired to begin the creative process of writing and developing the concept for the gripping play entitled There Are Other Worlds. Her original idea for the performance, which sold out each night of its four-night run, was a little different than the work which was presented at the Open Eye Figure Theatre in Minneapolis April 25-28, 2013. At first Petrus just "wanted to do an aerial performance piece featuring all Black women" and combine those elements with "poetry vignettes," and was inspired by Ntozake Shange's For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When the Rainbow is Enuf. But during the creative process, the concept eventually transformed into a powerful and poignant story that touched on a number of topics considered taboo, such as the treatment of Black women, rape, murder, and the prison industrial complex in the United States. One element of the original concept that remained was the aerial performance, something Petrus wanted to exhibit. She describes aerial performance as "a circus art that deals with hanging apparatuses," where acrobatic movements are incorporated with the use of materials hung from the ceiling.

Deeplinks Blog posts about Content Blocking
Just when we thought censorship in Pakistan couldn't get any worse, it has. After our joint effort with numerous Pakistani and international organizations succeeded in putting plans for a national filter on hold, and Pakistan relented after a brief experiment with blocking Twitter, we thought we could turn our focus elsewhere for a little while.
We were wrong.
Jordan is one of a handful of countries in the Middle East that does not censor access to websites.1 Instead, the government has taken a more liberal approach to Internet regulation, and as a result has attracted companies like Google and Yahoo!, both of which have offices in the capital city of Amman.
The Russian Duma overwhelmingly approved the controversial Internet regulation Bill № 89417-6. 441. A total of 441 out of 450 deputies representing all four party factions within the Duma, voted to support the bill. The regulations set forth within the bill, including the creation of a national blacklist and legal partnership with a content-monitoring bureau, are expected to go into effect in January after President Putin signs the bill into law.
Today, Russian-language Wikipedia, Livejournal, and other prominent RuNet websites have gone dark to protest Bill № 89417-6, which is currently being considered in the Duma. The bill is comprised of amendments that create an Internet blacklist which opponents say poses a serious threat to freedom of expression in Russia. The blackout follows in the footsteps of other similar high-profile protests against Internet censorship bills, including SOPA/PIPA in the United States, and DDL Intercettazioni in Italy.
Last week, a spokesman for the Pakistani Ministry of Information Technology announced that Pakistan was blocking access to Twitter because the site had not removed links to a competition on Facebook to post cartoon images of the Muslim prophet Mohammed. Why Twitter and not Facebook? The spokesman went on to say that Facebook had agreed to address the Pakistani government's concerns—Facebook later issued a statement saying they had blocked the content about the contest in Pakistan—but they viewed Twitter as recalcitrant.
"The government is in contact with Twitter and had asked them to remove the material. When they didn't, it was decided that the site would be blocked."

It's actually 360 if you're not a subscriber, and I've decided crunchy roll is not worth 8 dollars per month to me. They just don't have a selection of anime I care to watch-I subscribed previously for about 4 months, watched everything I wanted to and stopped. Simul casts are like what 4 episodes per month and most of them are shows I don't care for?
And for the record I buy loads of DVDS to make sure I contribute my fair share to the industry. If they release an R1 for Fate/Zero, you bet your **** I'm buying it.

Kennebunk middle school Principal Jeff Rodman tells The Portland Press Herald (http://bit.ly/1fiLLMp) that the girl heard a popping sound Friday morning and smoke started billowing around her.
Boys were herded from the room so the 14-year-old girl could shed her flaming pants. She also did the "stop, drop and roll" move to help put out the fire. She was treated at a hospital.
Her mother had given her the Apple iPhone 5C two months earlier.

Recent Edgartown Area Reviews
Perfect Place in Edgartown
This place was EVERYTHING I expected! And then some! Perfect location, charming, extremely clean, full kitchen, washer/dryer...I had every convenience of home. I felt so relaxed and comfortable thanks to the beautiful yard, great unit and most of all to the extremely warm and gracious hospitality from the owner, Gigi. This is a must stay that I will suggest to all my friends. Also, while you are there, rent a bike and ride into town and take in all the local flavor. It's absolutely picturesque! Try breakfast/brunch at Among The Flowers Cafe, try a quick lunch at Lucky Hanks and grab an ice cold beer late night at The Wharf Pub. It was an amazing trip, beautiful town and my stay at Seapines Rental completed the entire trip to perfection.

Estimated publication date
January 23, 2013
Record of the decision to request the transition
RDF WG telecon of 12 December 2012:
CR duration period
The minimal duration for this CR period is until 23 March 2013.
The Resource Description Framework (RDF) is a general-purpose language for representing information in the Web. This document defines a textual syntax for RDF called Turtle that allows an RDF graph to be completely written in a compact and natural text form, with abbreviations for common usage patterns and datatypes. Turtle provides levels of compatibility with the existing N-Triples format as well as the triple pattern syntax of the SPARQL W3C Recommendation.
This document was published by the RDF Working Group as a Candidate Recommendationt. This document is intended to become a W3C Recommendation. W3C publishes a Candidate Recommendation to indicate that the document is believed to be stable and to encourage implementation by the developer community. This Candidate Recommendation is expected to advance to Proposed Recommendation in the course of 2013. If you wish to make comments regarding this document, please send these to firstname.lastname@example.com (subscribe, archives). The Candidate Recommendation period ends 23 March 2013. All feedback is welcome.
This document was produced by a group operating under the 5 February 2004 W3C Patent Policy. W3C maintains a public list of any patent disclosures made in connection with the deliverables of the group; that page also includes instructions for disclosing a patent. An individual who has actual knowledge of a patent which the individual believes contains Essential Claim(s) must disclose the information in accordance with section 6 of the W3C Patent Policy.
The following features are at risk and may be removed due to lack of implementation. @@
Changes to the Last Call version
See: https://dvcs.w3.org/hg/rdf/raw-file/default/rdf-turtle/index.html#sec-changelog
The changes include:
- Renaming for STRING_* productions to STRING_LITERAL_QUOTE sytle names rather than numbers
- Local part of prefix names can now include ":"
- Turtle in HTML
- Renaming of grammar tokens and rules around IRIs
- Reserved character escape sequences
- String escape sequences limited to strings
- Numeric escape sequences limited to IRIs and Strings
- Support top-level blank-predicate-object lists
- White space required between @prefix and prefix label
None of the changes made since the July 10, 2012 start of Last Call are considered to have the effect of completely invalidating any previous review of the specification.
Evidence that the document satisfies group's requirements
The requirements have not changed since the previous transition. All requirements previously satisfied remain satisfied.
Evidence that dependencies with other groups met (or not)
The specification has one normative reference to a W3C specification that is not yet Candidate Recommendations, namely
The specification has been very widely reviewed both by public commenters, by other W3C working groups, and by key participants involved in work at other organizations such as the IETF. A Disposition of Comments document is available, as well as a list of open issues and related change proposals that are awaiting working-group decisions.
W3C groups that submitted comments include (but are not limited to) the W3C TAG, CSS WG, Internationalization WG, MultilingualWeb-LT WG, Protocols and Formats WG, Responsive Images Community Group, Web and TV IG, and XML Core WG.
Evidence that issues have been formally addressed

X2 Hot is our longest fairway wood ever, a technological marvel with more distance, consistent launch & versatility.
We made it thinner, lighter and more robust. It's how the Hyper Speed Face Cup delivers faster ball speeds with more distance to make this club even longer than the X Hot Fairway Wood. Yes, you read that correctly. Longer.
The CG is precisely located, and because of that you'll get more consistent launch and spin across the entire face. That leads to longer shots more frequently, which leads to you having more fun, which then leads to you playing more golf. You like more golf. We like more golf.
This is our best and most versatile sole design and it makes the X2 Hot Fairway easier to hit from every lie. And isn't that what a great fairway wood should do? We think so.
This premium shaft offering delivers excellent feel and control. It's built to optimize launch conditions too.

Weidman: Prescott, AZ Report
NEWS May 9, 2010
The second session I was around 5th again, and we then decided to try a gear change for the next one. However, it didn't really work and we were 13th that round. We changed it back for the last round to get a good time, but we broke a coolant line, and didn't get to finish the practice. Ron got the bike back going again for the heat race and we were confident that I could do well. I had a stacked heat, but found the right lines to work my way up to the lead for a little, but I ended up blowing the groove and heading all the way back to 5th before I worked my way back up to 3rd. A video that shows me moving through the pack pretty good can be found at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YJ7YRHaaGNQ.
I missed the dash and the front row which was a really big bummer, but I felt really fast and comfortable for the main. We had everything ready to go and got an awesome start the first time, right around 4th or 5th, when a red flag came out because we couldn't see. It was pretty scary going into the turn completely blind, and we were all very lucky they immediately threw the red flag. They went back out and put a little more water on it, and we were ready to go.
I took off the line, went about 20 feet and the bike broke: that meant the end of my day. It was a major bummer for me, Ron, and the whole team. We had a very capable bike, and I felt very good on it. We definitely had the ability to pull off a top 5, or even better. Just one of those things that happen in racing though, and you just have to move on to the next week. It was exciting to put the BMW in a Grand National Main for the first time since 1954, especially since I had never sat on the seat before Saturday morning!

Hood Safari
this wiki
- "Franklin and Lamar show Trevor a typical South Los Santos neighborhood."
- ―Description.
Hood Safari[1] is a mission in Grand Theft Auto V, given by Lamar Davis to protagonists Franklin Clinton and Trevor Philips.
As said above, the mission can be introduced in either Franklin or Trevor' perspective. The mission begins at Franklin's house, where Lamar and Denise heckle the latter for his neglect of the CGF as of late. Franklin however doesn't want to be apart of the petty gang banging in anyway possible. Trevor suddenly appears out of the blue. After giving Denise a few bucks and shooing her back into the house, he says his reason for being there is to make new friends. At that moment, a drug deal sounded ravishing.
The men load themselves into the back of Trevor's van, along with Lamar's dog Chop, and head to Grove Street, where they'll do the exchange with the Ballas. After reaching Grove shortly, everyone gets out of the van and follows Lamar up to one of the houses. The door opens suspiciously as all three men are presented with a white block wrapped in plastic. Once it's cut open, Lamar gets a taste and is extremely eager to hand over a large sum of cash.
Trevor however is much more skeptical. He asks if they can take a sample from the other side of the brick, but the dealer refuses to do so and instead plays hardball. As Trevor grows frustrated, he snatches the block from out of the guy's hands, and snaps it in half, proving his skepticism to be correct after all; It was just a gram of nose-candy hidden inside a block of drywall.
The throbbing score violently begins to increase as the shit hits the fan. Chop can be spotted running back home. In the heat of the battle, the LSPD show up to bring the urban uprising to a halting conclusion. Franklin and Trevor follow Lamar through a narrow alley that he found in an effort to help the men escape. As they ran towards the open water, they see a rapper and group of girls in colourful bikinis dancing for a film crew in front of three jet skis. After stealing them, all three men head towards the open sea.
After riding across the ocean and putting distance between them and the cops, Franklin figures that the cops would have a harder time catching them if they all split up. From there, depending on who the player is controlling, can either have all the characters go off on their own or pair up with another character to escape the cops. Depending on who the player is playing as and which way they choose to escape will either end the mission early or open up unique conversations with Trevor, Lamar or Franklin.
Mission objectives
- Get in the van.
- Go to Grove Street.
- Go to the house.
- Escape from Grove Street with Lamar and Trevor.
- Follow Lamar.
- Follow Lamar.
- Lose the Cops.
Gold Medal Objectives
- Time - Complete within 07:00.
- Accuracy - Finish with a shooting accuracy of at least 70%.
- Headshots - Kill 12 enemies with a headshot.
Video Walkthrough
- MC Clip - Can be killed by either Franklin or Trevor to steal his Seashark.
- Ballas members - Killed by Franklin, Trevor and Lamar during an ambush.
- The mission can be seen in the pre-release screenshot up above, but its name was never revealed at the time.
- As the player approaches Grove Street, they will be able to see 3 men on bicycles riding away in the opposite direction. The three men resemble Carl Johnson, Big Smoke and Ryder. This may be an easter egg, referencing the mission Sweet & Kendl in GTA San Andreas, in which CJ, Big Smoke and Ryder escape the pursuing Ballas on bikes.
- The drug deal goes down at a house that is on exactly the same spot that CJ's house was on in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.
- If the player decides to escape the cops with Lamar, Franklin and Lamar will talk about how Grove Street was once Families turf and that they were called the Grove Street Families. This is a reference to the Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas times.
- During the confrontation, some Ballas members also shout that Grove Street does not belong to The Families anymore.
- The name and setup of the mission are reminiscent of Concrete Jungle, a mission in GTA IV in which Niko gets his first gun.
- The player can hear three different dialogues by the end of the mission, depending on which characters get together after losing the cops. Franklin and Lamar talk about how The Families used to rule Grove Street, Franklin and Trevor talk about Michael being a bad influence on Franklin, and Trevor and Lamar talk about what the colors represent to the gangs.
- Originally the mission was going to be named Urban Safari.

The world needs American firmness, clear vision and leadership. To create this, the president — any president — has to be able to govern without unwarranted obstruction, impediments, roadblocks, and the just plain craziness of "gotcha" power politics that threaten our economy and our security, as well as world peace. All of these issues are in play in the controversy surrounding Susan Rice, U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, creating speculation that she will be nominated to replace Hilary Clinton as Secretary of State. But it has nothing to do with Rice. Continue Reading →

Naked accountants!
Roll up, roll up!
Somehow I seem to have started organising a charity calendar and yes, you know what I'm going to say next...
It was born on the AAT forums and at the current count we are 5 men short. The ladies calendar is currently full but reserves are always welcome.
That's right, 5 lucky AWeb users could be featured in the 2013 Naked Accountants Calendar!
It will of course be tasteful and as professional as this thing can be – we all have professional reputations after all and none of us want our clients to see too much! There will be no naughty bits on display... mostly. It all depends how everyone feels on the day, but there will be many a strategically placed large calculator and/or old fashioned ledger to cover up wobbly and other bits.
Please have a look and if you can't volunteer, make sure you buy a calendar for next year ;-)
By the way, we have young, old, big, small, there are no entry requirements other than to be an accountant, and to be either brave or able to overcome your shyness for one day.
Roll up, roll up, and get nekkid for charity!
All details on the website :)
Yours sincerely,
Miss October

if you look at the prices of say sensors from the suppliers for example Sony (one of the main suppliers of sensors), the number of pixels on a chip is irrelevent to price. That mean a 1/3" sensor has the same price regardless whether it is 4mp, 8mp or 13mp.
We put the HTC One's ultrapixels to the test
Andy Westlake and Lars Rehm | Published: Mar 29, 2013 at 19:01 UTC172
Shortly after the launch of its latest flagship smartphone, the One, HTC published a white paper explaining the thinking behind the 4MP 'ultrapixel' camera in its latest device. This covers some key factors affecting image quality, including the lens, sensor and processor, in a fairly non-technical way. The document is light on numbers though, and worryingly high in quotes from journalists so scientists and engineers may find it unsatisfying.
Daylight, low ISO
The 4MP backside-illuminated CMOS sensor in the HTC One is made by ST Microelectronics and also being used in a number of video devices. This explains the, for a still camera, unusual aspect ratio of 16:9. Switching to 3:2 or 4:3 aspect ratios crops the image sideways. The latter for example reduces the overall pixel count to 3MP.
In the well-illuminated scene below the Apple sticks to its base ISO setting of 50 while the HTC reports a slightly unusual sensitivity of ISO 112. The HTC is doing a decent job in these conditions albeit with a much warmer color response than the iPhone, but the latter is clearly better. In good light more pixels simply means more detail and this is clearly visible in the samples below. Whether this persists in typical social media use is a totally different question though.
Here we've got another shot in good light but more overcast conditions. Both phones struggle rendering the distant low-contrast areas but again the Apple's 8MP sensor captures more detail overall. On the flip-side the HTC produces a cleaner image with visible less shadow noise.
Digital Zoom
Digital zoom is generally awful on smartphones apart from the Nokia 808 with its PureView technology and both the HTC One and iPhone 4s are no exception. That said, with its comparatively low 4MP pixel count the HTC's image quality is deteriorating faster than the digital zoom of higher resolution smartphone cameras as you can see in the samples below.
Low light, high ISO
In low light the HTC One is clearly better than the iPhone, producing a much cleaner, more noise-free image and giving brighter, more colourful images. It's difficult to isolate the effect the effect of the ultrapixels in this context as both the IS and the fast F2 lens playe a role too but in a way that's academic, it's the end result that counts.
These images have been shot in Auto ISO mode but the HTC allows you to select ISO manually. However, a lack of information about shutter speed renders this feature pretty much useless.
When taking into account that many editing and sharing apps for smartphones reduce the size of images it also makes sense to compare the low-light samples above at roughly the same size. For this purpose we have reduced the iPhone 4s image to the same width as the HTC image (1520 pixels). Due to the Apple's 4:3 aspect ratio you end up with an image just over 3MP but the size of objects in the image is approximately identical in both photos.
As you can see in the 100% crops below the low-light advantage of the HTC is somewhat reduced when looking at images of the same size but the HTC One's image is still visibly cleaner with less luminance and chroma noise. So, when shooting in low light the HTC offers a real advantage over higher resolution sensors, even when the image size is reduced for sharing, social media or editing.
Soft image areas
In quite a few, but not all of our HTC One sample shots we noticed extreme softness on the right side of the frame. We haven't been able to determine the exact reasons for this but we are suspecting the effect could be caused by the image stabilization system decentering one of the lens elements. Once we get a review unit here in Seattle we will check if this is only a problem with the particular copy of the phone that Andy had in London and invesitage further. The problem is very visible in the samples which were taken within a few images. Exposure data for the two images is identical but if you click through to the full version of the image on the left you can see that are large area on the right side of the frame is extremely soft, making the image pretty much unusable.
First image quality impressions
Overall, from what we can see from these first sample shots, the HTC One with its 4 "ultrapixels" CMOS sensor performs pretty much as we would have expected. In low light and at higher sensitivities the HTC delivers cleaner images than the higher-resolution iPhone 4s. However, this is as much due to the optical image stabilization and fast F2 lens as the sensor. The HTC's advantage decreases if you compare images at the same size but is still clearly visible.
It doesn't come as a surprise that in good light the HTC trails noticeably behind its higher resolution peers in terms of detail capture. In good light more pixels simply mean more detail. The question is by how many users this will be viewed as a disadvantage, given a large proportion of smartphone images is being edited and shared at lower resolutions anyway.
We should also mention the HTC's strong tendency to produce purple flare with light sources that are located just outside the frame, a very similar effect to the one found on the iPhone 5. This is very obvious in the first image of our sample gallery below.
We will analyze the purple flare effect and image quality of the phone in general in much more detail once we receive a reviewable unit at our studio in Seattle. In the meantime we have included a few additional sample images in the preview gallery below for you to examine.
Sample Gallery
There are 12 images including a couple of panoramas in our HTC One preview samples gallery. Please do not reproduce any of these images on a website or any newsletter / magazine without prior permission (see our copyright page). We make the originals available for private users to download to their own machines for personal examination or printing (in conjunction with this review), we do so in good faith, please don't abuse it.
Unless otherwise noted images taken with no particular settings at full resolution.

California sex offenders shouldn't have to turn over their Twitter, Facebook or e-mail account information to police because they have a right to anonymous online speech, privacy advocates told a judge.
The American Civil Liberties Union is seeking to keep a voter-approved law targeting human trafficking and sex exploitation from taking effect while its lawsuit aimed at invalidating portions of the measure is pending.
Convicted sex offenders have the same free speech rights as anyone, and the law's language is vague as to what registered sex offenders must disclose, making them "vulnerable" to retaliation by the police because of their speech on the Internet, ACLU lawyers said today at a hearing.
"There is no historical precedent of striking people of their First Amendment rights simply because of a crime they committed," Michael Risher, an ACLU lawyer, told U.S. District Judge Thelton Henderson in San Francisco. "They have the same First Amendment rights as anyone as soon as they finish serving their sentence."
California law enforcement officials say tracking Internet communications can prevent offenders from preying on children.
'Victim's Life'
"Possession of this information may provide enough of a head start to save a victim's life," California Deputy Attorney General Robert Wilson said in a court filing. "Having Internet identifying information, however, does not permit access to, or monitoring of, private communications."
Proposition 35, approved by more than 80 percent of California voters last month and backed by former Facebook Inc. executive Chris Kelly, was set to take effect next year. Henderson put the measure on hold when the ACLU sued the day after it passed. The ACLU asked the judge today to keep an injunction in place while the case is being decided.
The law increases prison terms for sex offenders and adds reporting requirements for them. Registered sex offenders in California would be required under the law to report to law enforcement all Internet identifiers and online service providers they use. Registrants also would have to provide in writing any changes or additions to their Internet accounts and screen names.
Speech Limits
Anonymous speech on the Internet can be restricted when the state has an important interest in doing so and the limitations are narrowly tailored, lawyers for the state said in court filings.
The ACLU said the new rules let police investigate offenders even if there's no crime committed. The law is so broad that law enforcement officers can snoop into online communications and require offenders to turn over login information for bank accounts. The ACLU and the Electronic Frontier Foundation sued on behalf of two sex offenders whose identities aren't disclosed in the lawsuit.
Sex offenders are already required to fill out a form after release from prison or parole reporting where they intend to live. Offenders must also register with the police department near their home and update the information every 30 days if they move. They must also report any name changes.
Before Proposition 35, sex offenders also had to supply the name and address of employers, fingerprints and a current photograph and license plate number. Starting last year, the California Justice Department's registration form included fields to report e-mail addresses and screen names and social networks used.
Police are allowed to access the computer system that stores the information, and Internet identifying information is currently only available to the Justice Department.
The case is Doe v. Harris, 12-05713, U.S. District Court, Northern District of California (San Francisco).

Choosing the Right Meter for the Right Job
Whether updating an existing substation or constructing a new one, choosing the best meters for the job doesn't mean you have to spend a lot of money on each one. With a full range of intelligent metering and control devices available today, it's easier than ever to assemble a top-notch enterprise energy management network by choosing just the right meter for each job. In many cases, this means combining a single higher-end device with several entry-level meters. For example, a substation may install a single higher-end energy and power quality meter on the main incoming feed, and a smaller, inexpensive meter on each outgoing feed. If so equipped, the meter on the incoming feed could use its large onboard memory and multiple communications options to receive information from each of the smaller devices. It could then process the information and send it upstream to the company's SCADA system, a dedicated energy management system, and any additional systems serving other utility departments. As long as each component is chosen with the specific features and flexibility to do its job, this arrangement can offer considerable advantages. For example, although the smaller meters would not need a large onboard memory, as long as each one can display real-time readings on its front panel, you can easily check operational parameters to verify that the system is working properly. This instant feedback is particularly useful when fine-tuning the substation's electrical system, for example, when performing tap change control to adjust voltage levels. Also, if the meter on the incoming feed offers RTU/PLC abilities, it can perform additional control and alarm functions throughout the facility, to help manage any conditions requiring immediate attention. Plus, multiple communications options such as Modbus and DNP increase the flexibility of the unit, enabling it to send data to a centrally located workstation or SCADA system over the existing communications network.
With the main meter overseeing the smaller meters in the substation, you can review a month's worth of historical data logs, right from the primary unit's main screen. An onscreen trending feature on this device is useful for diagnosing events that have occurred in the past, and for identifying conditions that could cause problems in the future. Overall, this arrangement provides a simple and cost-effective way to monitor the whole system, providing detailed real-time and logged system information both at headquarters and right on site.
As a stand-alone meter or part of a larger system, each component in an enterprise energy management network can make a big difference in helping to maintain the reliability, power quality, and overall uptime of a substation. It's just a matter of choosing the right tool for the job.
It would be helpful to put in some comparisons for cost. If you don't want to put in the actual cost numbers, you could use percentage changes. For example, look at putting four meter of the same design vs. your suggested plan of three less expsensive meters with the one expensive meter. If you have a customer that has utilized your approach, you might mention that also.
This would give the utility planner the incentive to dig deeper into your suggestion.

1) a dresser DIY (inspiration & DIY directions @ Marcus Designs). I saw Nancy's amazing tutorial for her dressers, and I knew it would be perfect for the side table in my living room (+ the price was right!). The gold paint I bought failed, and I'm now deciding if I should just leave off a gold Draper-style design. **My fav feature: I left off the backing of the dresser so I can run cords through the back, store laptops in the drawers, and leave those cords out of site; I love it!!
Rast Dresser from Ikea ($29.99). I won't show you what was there before. It's too embarrassing! :)
2) A pillow DIY!! I loooved this silk dress and the pattern from Martin + Osa (which sadly no longer exists). I bought it for a trip to Mexico, and darlings, it was just far too short for me. It worked in Mexico, but not in my normal life. I tried it as a shirt, and no, it looked crazy, so I took the scissors and sewing machine to it and made this little pillow for the couch, which I adore! *My DIY tip is about "up-cycling". If you don't use something as it is anymore, could you use it in another way??

3) the bedroom: bedding & lamps (jewelry organizing, here). I don't have a real before photo (which is a good thing for you) so this mid-way through photo will have to do. I chose neutrals for the bedroom, whites + grays, because I like my bedroom to be as serene as possible. I'm in love with how it turned out.

4) Bedroom Dresser - also an Ikea fixer-uper (can you tell we were on a major budget?). I simply bought some new drawer pulls, the ones from the living room dresser, and I think the impact is huge. *Minor (& budget friendly) changes can make a huge difference. New drawer pulls are a great way to modernize/ freshen something up.
5) Last but not least, and I'm a little embarrassed to say this on my blog, in full disclosure, I still have a futon in my living room. Ok, I told you we were on a budget, so a new couch wasn't in store yet. A new pillows are all it took to somewhat hide the fact that indeed we had a futon. A new cover would work great as well, but I tried a white one, and it looked awful, so stayed with navy. Some gold and ikat pillows freshened up the look, don't you think? **Searching the interwebs for ways to update a futon is DIFFICULT. I went with my gut instinct, a) buy what you love and b) lean towards richer fabrics & prints to offset the futon-ness of it all. I think it works well enough for now, and I love the pillows.

Hope you enjoyed this little before-and-after home tour (let me know what you think)!! I'm headed out of town today to visit one of my oldest and dearest friends and her new bebe in DC. I'll be back next Tuesday or Wednesday with something yummy!

Comments On Feb 24, 2014:I bought the plow last year, when installing the frame, I had to use a jack to bend one tube to get it to hook, It was sitting to low even using the spacer included.
After I got it hooked up, it worked fine, but you could see 2 small bends in each tube from lifting the plow up were it hits the frame.
I have to use the plow a couple times this year (new England snow) and the tube on the right side snapped off, it was a really bad weld, the weld came off clean, looks like they tried welding over paint. This is the plate holding the blade to the frame. Since that happened it caused the tube to bend.
I had to cut all the welds off re bend the tube and re weld the frame, could of made my own frame i will see how it works
I would if you to spend the extra money since I have 6 hours redoing the frame.
NOTE: Set up is no good If you have a brush guard on the front the angle causes the wench cable to snap by going up and down and rubbing on brush guard.
Buy with caution if the frame did not snap and twist and bend it does push snow.

Comments On Dec 17, 2013:I purchased the Honda foreman with the plow on it. The cycle country plow works great in the deep snow. I have plowed hundreds of miles with it. I love how simple it is to install. Its a great product that allows the quad to to do dounts.

Comments On Dec 20, 2012:Was not happy to see Made in China on plow blade box. The two other boxes were not marked so I don't know where the other parts were made. Products Made in China normally look good but are very poor quality. Poor quality steel is hard to detect and China is noted for it. If it didn't cost so much to return the plow blade I would return it for that reason alone. The push tube and frame mounting plate seem to be made very well but are they made in China? Wish they would label advertised products that are imported like Cabelas does. Made in USA is a big deal to those of us us that are trying to support our countrys mfg.and buy a quality product. I would not buy this plow again unless it was labeled "Made in the USA".

Comments On Dec 04, 2012:it comes with lots of parts to put together

She amazingly offers tons of Free Educational Printables on her blog, all of which she has created herself! I have downloaded most of them and I am always so anxious to see what her latest creation is! One of her latest printables is her "I Can Cut, Glue, Trace and Color" Book.
It includes a front cover and a page for all 26 letters of the alphabet. The kids read the sentence, Trace the words at the bottom of the page, then glue them in order. They also need to draw in some details on the picture so the sentence makes sense. It is such a wonderful book and I can't wait to get started on it with my preschooler.
She also has a store through Teachers Pay Teachers where you can purchase tons of printables at a very affordable price. Her blog and store have become such a great resource for me in teaching Luke at home, and I know you will all LOVE Michelle and her products.
Let's learn a little bit more about Michelle...
I am so honored to be able to add my "Fall Book" to Rachel's give away.......she is the queen of craftiness and I love checking her newest creations out!

My husband and I are currently full time "House Parents" at a residential school (this basically means I am SURROUNDED by 14 boys ALL DAY LONG!!). In an effort to retain some sanity and share some of the teaching ideas I had, I started my blog "Musings Of Me" about a year ago. I really am pretty new to the blogging world and still have so much to learn but I'm LOVING it :-)
Teaching is my PASSION (there are not many night I don't wake up with an "idea" for my future classroom) and I plan on going back to teaching when we move back to Australia some day. I have discovered during the last year that I love to create printables! Many of which you can find for free on my blog :-) I also have a Teachers Pay Teachers store where I sell some printables and my keepsake books (like the "Fall Book"). I am having a blast creating them and I think they will be a treasure for parents to hold on to for when their children grow up. I hope you'll stop by and check out what I have to offer :-)
Here's what's included in the Fall Book:
*An original rhyming poem written by Michelle (one line per page).
*10 crafty fun projects that match each line of the poem.
*Detailed craft instruction and photos to go along with them.
*Additional ideas you could do with each page.
The best part is that since these are all PDF Files, any of my International Readers are eligible to Win! Yay! So please enter even if you don't live in the U.S.!

My book that I am doing this report on is Wringer by Jerry Spinelli. It is a great book for forth graders and up I am reading it in fifth grade. My favorite character is Palmer because he isn't a jerk like Beans. My sister was the first one to recommend this book to me and it is a great book. And I recommend it to any person who hates violence.

Is the Inside Graphics Detail in the Enlightened Stoned Cremini Jacket? Also, What size would I get if I am roughly 5'2" and 150 pounds? Thank you. It has a stellar look to it! I am looking for a great jacket for Gunnison and of course Crested Butte!
Hey Alyeska,
Yes the graphic detail you see above will be featured in the Enlightened Stoned color. Also, I would double check the sizing chart above to see what size will best work for you. You will need to compare your bust and waist measurements. Just hit that little white ruler icon located beneath the size options. Hope that helps! This jacket is really sexy, can't wait for snow!

so i have this jacket and it doesn't look like a winter jacket its really thin is there a liner that goes with it or whats the deal
Just because it is thin doesn't mean it's not warm. The waterproof and breathability ratings are what matters. A good jacket shouldn't have to be thick or heavy. Lighter is better. Plus this jacket has plenty of room for layering.
Hey Chastene,
This jacket is just a shell to protect you from the elements. It's meant to be used with layers underneath.

Drug War Crimes
Recorded: Thursday, May 6, 2004
Each year, the U.S. government spends over $30 billion on the drug war and arrests more than 1.5 million people on drug-related charges. Currently more than 318,000 people are behind bars in the U.S. for drug violationsmore than the number of people incarcer-ated for all crimes in the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, and Spain combined. Have current drug laws deterred drug abuse and reduced crime? What are the real costs of this countrys war on drugs? Is there a link between the homicide rate and the amount of resources given to drug prohibition? Please join us as Boston University economist Jeffrey Miron (author of the major new book, Drug War Crimes) and former San Jose police chief, Joseph McNamara, examine these questions and explore real alternatives to Americas War on Drugs.
Jeffrey A. Miron

His articles on Drug Policy have appeared in Social Research, Boston Globe and the London Observer. He received his Ph. D. in economics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
