My Tank is Foaming
Been in this hobby for over 45 years and I've seen just about everything. But, this new to me. Before anyone asks, water tests are fine. I added tablet fertilizer in my planted tanks Tuesday morning. Early this morning (Wednesday) while feeding my fish their breakfast, I noticed a bubbly foam on top of the water. I am under the assumption that the fertilizer has something to do with the sudden appearance of the foam. Fish are doing fine, and not all of the tanks fertilized are "foaming". I have not check for phosphates as of yet. Too much fertilizer? Water too soft? A combination of both? Water in the three tanks is testing 6.8-7.0pH. Doesn't seem to be a real problem, yet, but could it be?
More then likely its the phosphates. I would test that.
From what I remember of high school chem, soft water+phosphates can equal foam. By all means test if it worries you, but unless it's like there's a head on your tank, I wouldn't worry (and phosphate tests cost a frickin' mint!)

What Europe Can Learn From Japan
The euro zone's policymakers will have two economic factors at the forefront of their minds now.
The first is the region's semi-permanent recession and looming deflation. The second is the apparent dramatic effectiveness of Japan's recent monetary and fiscal measures.
Can they too end the former by adopting the latter?
The euro-zone economic growth prints for the first quarter, released Wednesday, made for gloomy reading. Germany barely grew; France slipped into recession alongside Spain, Italy, Cyprus, Portugal and Finland. Indeed, the euro area overall contracted by 0.2% on the previous quarter, continuing a contractionary trend that started in the final quarter of 2011.
Meanwhile, consumer price inflation has been falling, dropping to an annual rate of 1.2% in April.
But if the euro zone is turning Japanese, why not go the whole hog? The Bank of Japan has promised to generate 2% inflation through a huge expansion of its quantitative easing program–including extending it beyond the purchase of government debt–while at the same time maintaining huge government deficits. The International Monetary Fund forecasts Japanese government borrowing to remain above 5% of GDP through to 2018 at least.
There's an added incentive for the euro zone to look to Japanese solutions: the yen's devaluation by around a quarter since last fall is starting to put the squeeze on euro-zone exporters.
Although the Japanese government insists that a weak yen is just a by-product of policy designed to stimulate domestic demand, rather than the main aim, the boost to its industry is proving very welcome, particularly for Japan's equity investors. The Nikkei has surged some 80% over the past eight months in local currency terms.
There is, however, a big obstacle to the euro zone imitating Japan's measures. It's called Germany.

Authorities say they've located the driver who escaped a burning vehicle after a single car accident last week.
25-year-old Joseph Gayhardt is charged with hit and run, leaving a scene of an accident, driving while his license is revoked and reckless driving.
According to the Pitt County Dentention Center website, he was arrested on May 5th, the same day his burning SUV was found, on Mills road just outside of Greenville.

Results tagged "Zoning"
Backpiece by Tim Kern.
Tattooing got another huge legal boost on Friday when the Arizona Supreme Court ruled that tattooing is free speech in the zoning case of Coleman v. City of Mesa (link to decision). This is the first time in the United States that a state supreme court has extended First Amendment protections to tattooing.
A federal court, the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, ruled in 2010 that "tattooing is purely expressive activity fully protected by the First Amendment" in the case of Johnny Anderson v. City of Hermosa Beach, which was also a case where tattooists were denied the right to open up shop due to zoning restrictions. [My giddy discussion of that case can be found here.]
The Arizona Supreme Court noted that courts have been divided on the issue of tattooing being constitutionally protected expression (and gave example of different cases) but found that "the approach adopted in Anderson is most consistent with First Amendment case law and the free speech protections under Arizona's Constitution."
In both the Coleman and Andersen cases, the courts found that, not only tattoos but the process of tattooing, and therefore, the business of tattooing are protected speech. The Arizona Supreme Court also noted that this protection applies even if an artist is using "standard designs or patterns" like flash, just as cable TV companies are "engaged in protected speech activities even when they only select programming originally produced by others" (citing Turner Broad. Sys., Inc. v. FCC).
This is a win for the Colemans but the fight isn't over. The case now goes back to the superior court, which originally dismissed the tattooists' claims as a matter of law saying that the Mesa City Council decision in 2009 to deny the Colemans a permit to open their tattoo shop was "a reasonable and rational regulation of land use." The Colemans appealed and the Arizona Appeals Court overturned the Superior Court's dismissal finding that they should have had the opportunity to make their case. The City of Mesa appealed that, which is how the case found its way to the Arizona Supreme Court.
The Superior Court will now look at whether the decision to deny the permit served a compelling governmental interest and was reasonably related to furthering that interest. Local government does have an interest in regulating tattooing by protecting the health and safety of the public. The issue is whether the rules further that purpose.
In this case, the Mesa planning board had recommended that the Colemans be given a permit subject to certain conditions, like limiting the hours of operation, loitering, refusing to do racist and gang tattoos, and also working with police to identify known gang tattoos. They agreed to those conditions. But the Mesa City Council denied the permit, according to the Yuma Sun, "after hearing concerns from neighbors about the shop possibly drawing crime and reducing property values. Only Mayor Scott Smith was in support." Now Mesa needs to show that this decision was not arbitrary and irrational and did not go against the Equal Protection and Due Process clauses of the Constitution.
I'm guessing, or at least hope, that this case will settle. The tax payers of Mesa have already spent enough money on trying to stop a business from opening, when all a long they could have taxed them and gained revenue for the city -- and also made Mesa more artful.
Tattoo by the Jacqueline Spoerle of Corazon Tattoo in Switzerland.
As the deadline for my book on blackwork tattooing -- like that of the fabulous Jacqueline Spoerle above -- fast approaches, I'm grateful that the boys got my back and this blog to bring you the Tattoo 411, but some of the tattoo news was too important to let it pass.
The most important: 18 Douchebag Celebrities and their Douchebag Tattoos.
No, I jest.
The Washington legislature finally has passed a measure that requires body piercers and tattooers to be licensed by the state. Up until now, there have been no regulations, so any kitchen table scratcher can scar up anyone with a low tattoo IQ. One of the people behind the measure is bod mod artist Troy Amundson. I wrote about Troy's lobbying fight for BME in 2007 and his efforts to bring safe and fair regulation of the industry. And today I toast him for securing representation "as stakeholders in body art related issues" as he calls it. Cheers to Troy for getting shit done.
In more tattoo law news, the search is on for some garbage who tattooed a gang symbol on his 7-year old son. It's a heartbreaking story of how the child returned home to his mother, distraught and ashamed after spending Easter break with his father. He tried to hide the tattoo when taking a bath but his mother saw and called the cops when he told her the story of how his father held him down while another gang member forcibly tattooed a dog paw on his hip. Justice for this gangbanger would be some big jail daddy forcibly tattooing bitch on his ass. I know, not highbrow commentary but this just makes me sick.
It's these type of stories -- the negative associations with tattooing -- that perpetuate stereotypes and result in, say, idiot zoning regulations, like this one in Vista, CA that says a tattoo studio can't be located near parks, schools or child care facilities, as well as 1,000 feet from other parlors. Imagine passing a similar reg for nail salons or barber shops. Yeah, I can't either.
And of course it leads to personal tattoo discrimination, as Pat blogged about yesterday on Joel Madden having to cover his tattoos before boarding a flight because British Airways found them "offensive." [I love this Perez Hilton comment: "... Joel was embarrassed because 'all the people were staring and laughing! No, Joel, they were laughing because you're in Good Charlotte."] *giggle* Eonline.com says Joel did cover up to board to plane but will be complaining to BA. I won't be giving BA my business. If you'd like to voice your opinion to BA about this, here's their complaint form.

Digital PS4 Games Cost an Arm, Leg in UK
Which next gen console is for you? Game Front can help you make your decision with our Xbox One vs. PlayStation 4 Ultimate Buyer's Guide.
In the U.S., prices on digital versions of PlayStation 4 games on the PlayStation Store are the same as boxed copies. Which seems odd in and of itself because digital copies are less costly for the publishers due to no shipping, packaging, and printing costs. That's why it's particularly strange to see prices on digital PS4 games in the UK cost significantly more than a physical disc.
How much more? Electronic Arts has five games on the current list of PlayStation 4 digital games in the UK. All of them cost 63 pounds ($85 U.S. dollars). For the likes of FIFA 14.
Eurogamer spotted the latest UK PlayStation Store update this morning, which includes these PS4 digital games:
- Angry Birds Star Wars: £32.99
- Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag: £57.99
- Battlefield 4: £62.99
- Call of Duty: Ghosts: £54.99
- Contrast: £12.79
- Injustice: Gods Among Us Ultimate Edition: £52.99
- Just Dance 2014: £42.99
- Killzone Shadow Fall: £52.99
- Knack: £52.99
- Lego Marvel Super Heroes: £52.99
- Madden NFL 25: £62.99
- NBA Live 14: £62.99
- Need for Speed: Rivals: £62.99
- Putty Squad: £13.99
- Resogun: £12.79
- Super Motherload: £11.99
- Trine 2: Complete Story: £14.49
- Warframe: free
Eurogamer also notes that the prices are, by and large, more costly on the PS4 than the Xbox One. For example, a digital copy of FIFA 14 is 55 pounds on the Xbox One.
Considering there is also no trade-in/resale value of digital copies, the pricing is even more confusing.
Electronic Arts and Sony have yet to comment on the pricing of digital games in the UK PlayStation Store.

Peacock Eel problems
I was recently given a small peacock eel. I know that they like plenty of places to hide and also bury themselves during the day. I also know that the like live food like worms blood worms etc. The problem is even with all the plant and hiding spaces in my tank he never seems to come out. I figured that since they're nocturnal that he'd come out in the late evening or an hour or so after the lights go out, no such luck so far. I just wondered if anyone had any advice on feeding the little guy because I cant see to feed him if I cant find him. Any advice is greatly appreciated.
just put bloodworms or something like that in the tank right before you turn the lights off and the next morning see if he ate them

As far as depth goes though, the combination of White, Woodbury, Olaseni, Basabe, and Uthoff is much better than Niang, Ejim, Edozie, Gibson. Not because of the top 2, but because of the next 2 or 3. -DeanVogs

LIGHTS OUT LONDON! – June 21st
Posted By Jorge Chapa On June 18, 2007 @ 11:15 pm In Events,News | 14 Comments
Sydney started it, with massive success, and now London is getting into the act. The Lights Out London [2] campaign is inviting londoners to turn off their lights for one hour, between 9p.m. and 10p.m. on the 21st of June (the Summer Solstice). They are hoping to become the largest climate change event ever recorded whose only request is to switch off.
The Sydney event [3]was a resounding success. It was a sight to behold to see the a good chunk of downtown Sydney, including the iconic opera house and harbour bridge slowly turning off their lights against the backdrop of the evening sky. Energy Australia reported that Sydney experienced a 10.2 per cent fall energy consumption double of what they were expecting. Here's hoping that the London event is as big, if not bigger, success.

They are provided as a service by the CBA and are not the official language of this Court. The CBA cannot guarantee the accuracy or completeness of the summaries. Full copies of the Tenth Circuit decisions are accessible from the CBA website: www.cobar.org (click on "Opinions/Rules/Statutes").
No. 10-8086. United States v. Hernandez. 08/23/2011. D.Wyo. Judge Gorsuch. Sentencing Guidelines—Available Sentence on Revocation of Supervised Release—Maximum Term Permitted on Multiple Successive Revocations.
Defendant was convicted of possessing an unregistered firearm and sentenced to forty-six months in prison, followed by three years of supervised release. He served his prison sentence and began his term of supervised release. After he violated the terms of his supervised release, the district court revoked the supervised release and sentenced him to serve six more months in prison, followed by a new term of supervised release. Defendant again served his prison sentence and was placed on another term of supervised release, which he also violated. The district court revoked this supervised release and sentenced him to a twelve-month prison sentence and to a fourth term of supervised release. Defendant violated this term and the district court ordered him to serve eighteen months in prison, without a subsequent term of supervised release.
On appeal, defendant attempted to undo the final, eighteen-month prison sentence. He pointed to 18 U.S.C. § 3583(e)(3), which provides that a defendant whose supervised release term has been revoked cannot be required to serve more than two years if his or her offense, like defendant's, is a class C felony. He argued that the prior terms he served after revocation should be aggregated, resulting in a total term served for the three prior revocations of twenty-one months. According to defendant, this meant he could be sentenced only to three more months for his current, fourth revocation. The Tenth Circuit disagreed. The statute provides for a limit of two years "on any such revocation," and provides for no credit for time served as the result of previous revocations.
The language providing for the limit "on any such revocation" was added to the statute in 2003 as a result of the PROTECT Act, a piece of legislation aimed primarily at deterring child sexual abuse. The portion of this legislation encompassing the amendment was entitled "Supervised Release Terms of Sexual Offenders." Acting on this information, defendant argued that non-sexual offenders should still get the benefit of aggregating any prior terms served as the result of previous revocations to determine whether the maximum sentence was met. However, the Circuit noted that the plain language applies to all offenders on any revocation, without exception.
Finally, defendant argued that he was trapped in a never-ending cycle of successive revocations. The Circuit disagreed. Although terms of supervised release cannot be aggregated, 18 U.S.C. § 3583(h) provides that the maximum term of supervised release a court can order as the result of a revocation sentence is limited to the term of supervised release authorized for the original offense, less any term of imprisonment imposed on revocation of supervised release. For purposes of this portion of the statute, successive terms of supervised release are aggregated. Once a defendant serves in prison a total amount of time that is more than the maximum authorized term of supervised release, he or she can no longer be sentenced to an additional term of supervised release, so the "cycle" ends at that point, just as it did in defendant's case. Accordingly, the Circuit affirmed defendant's conviction and sentence.
No. 10-6134. United States v. Coleman. 08/26/2011. W.D.Okla. Judge Tymkovich. Sentencing Guidelines—Armed Career Criminal Act—Use of Youthful Offender Act Convictions as "Serious Drug Offenses."
Defendant pleaded guilty to being a felon in possession of a firearm and ammunition. At sentencing, the district court determined that defendant's three prior convictions for selling crack cocaine and marijuana, adjudicated under the Oklahoma Youthful Offender Act (YOA), constituted "serious drug offenses" for purposes of the Armed Career Criminal Act (ACCA). Accordingly, the court sentenced him under the armed career offender guidelines to a term of twenty years' imprisonment.
On appeal, defendant argued that his drug-trafficking convictions, which he accrued as a juvenile offender, should not count as serious drug offenses. Defendant committed his offenses when he was 16. He was sentenced to ten years' confinement for each offense, and was placed in the custody of the Oklahoma Department of Juvenile Affairs (OJA). After he escaped from OJA custody, a state court judge converted his YOA sentences to adult convictions and committed him to the custody of the Oklahoma Department of Corrections to serve the remainder of his sentences.
Under the ACCA, a serious drug offense includes a state law drug offense carrying a maximum term of imprisonment of ten years or more. Under the YOA, the maximum term a juvenile offender can receive is ten years' imprisonment. If the juvenile conviction is converted to a criminal conviction, the maximum sentence for the adult conviction is ten years minus the time served in OJA custody. From this, defendant reasoned that his adult convictions necessarily carried a term of less than ten years, and therefore could not be serious drug offenses for purposes of the ACCA.
The Tenth Circuit disagreed. To determine whether a conviction is for a serious drug offense, a federal court should look to the maximum term prescribed by the relevant statute. In this case, the relevant statute was Oklahoma's Trafficking in Illegal Drugs Act, not the YOA. It is the maximum punishment for any defendant, not the characteristics of a particular offender, that counts when determining whether a conviction qualifies as a serious drug offense. It also is the maximum penalty provided rather than the actual sentence that counts. Because the Trafficking in Illegal Drugs Act carries a maximum sentence of life imprisonment, defendant's convictions under that statute constituted serious drug offenses for purposes of the ACCA.
No. 10-3002. Kansas Penn Gaming, LLC v. Collins. 09/1/2011. D.Kan. Judge Tymkovich. Standard for Dismissal for Failure to State a Claim—ClassofOne Equal Protection—County Nuisance Enforcement.
Kansas Penn Gaming, LLC (Kansas Penn) sued the Cherokee County Board of Commissioners and others under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 in this classofone equal protection lawsuit. Kansas Penn claimed that after it withdrew its casino development on land in Cherokee County, the County issued a notice asserting that the unkempt condition of its property violated nuisance laws and regulations. Believing the nuisance notice to be in retaliation for the casino dispute, Kansas Penn filed suit, alleging that the notice violated its right to equal protection by arbitrarily and maliciously singling it out for selective enforcement. The district court dismissed the case for failure to state a claim on which relief may be granted. Kansas Penn appealed.
The Tenth Circuit first elucidated the current standard for dismissal for failure to state a claim, discussing the Supreme Court's formulation of the standard under Bell Atl. Corp. v. Twombly, 550 U.S. 544 (2007), and Ashcroft v. Iqbal, 129 S.Ct. 1937 (2009). The Circuit then addressed the equal protection claim, recognizing a classofone theory of equal protection in the zoning context, where the plaintiff alleges that it was intentionally treated differently from others similarly situated and that there is no rational basis for the difference in treatment. To prevail under this theory, the plaintiff must carry its substantial burden to show that the government action was irrational, abusive, and wholly unrelated to any legitimate state activity.
The Circuit held that Kansas Penn did not satisfy its pleading burden because (1) it did not support with factual content its claim that the condition of its property did not violate any laws; (2) it offered only conclusory allegations that other property owners were similarly situated; (3) although it sued the county commissioners as individuals, it failed to allege their personal participation, or any active involvement by the Board, as required for § 1983 liability; and (4) it did not allege that the nuisance notice was issued pursuant to a formal policy or show that it was authorized by a final policymaker. Accordingly, Kansas Penn's complaint failed to state a claim. The district court's judgment of dismissal was affirmed.
No. 103092. Helm v. Kansas. 09/07/2011. D.Kan. Judge Ebel. Sexual Harassment—Vicarious Employer Liability—Faragher/Ellerth Affirmative Defense
Plaintiff sued the State of Kansas (State) under Title VII, claiming that her supervisor, Judge Frederick Stewart, a state district court judge, had sexually harassed her for almost ten years. Although the State had a written policy prohibiting sexual harassment and a complaint procedure, plaintiff did not file a complaint. The chief judge terminated plaintiff's employment because she stipulated to facts charging her with a felony. Thereafter, plaintiff filed a charge with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) alleging sexual harassment. The EEOC dismissed the charge and plaintiff filed suit. The district court granted summary judgment to the State.
The issue before the Tenth Circuit was whether the State, as Judge Stewart's employer, could be held vicariously liable for his alleged sexual harassment of plaintiff. The Faragher/Ellerth affirmative defense is available to an employer where (1) the employer exercised reasonable care to prevent and correct promptly any sexually harassing behavior, and (2) the plaintiff employee unreasonably failed to take advantage of any preventive or corrective opportunities provided by the employer or to avoid harm otherwise. [Faragher v. City of Boca Raton, 524 U.S. 775 (1998), and Burlington Industries, Inc. v. Ellerth, 524 U.S. 742 (1998).] The Circuit determined that the State was entitled to this defense, rejecting plaintiff's assertions that (1) Judge Stewart was the State's alter ego; (2) Judge Stewart's harassment culminated in her termination (which would defeat the Faragher/Ellerth defense); and (3) genuine factual disputes precluded summary judgment. The district court's summary judgment in the State's favor was affirmed.
No. 10-9527. RiveraBarrientos v. Holder, Jr. 09/07/2011. Board of Immigration Appeals. Judge Tymkovich. Immigration—Asylum—Political Opinion—Membership in a Particular Social Group—Particularity Standard—Socially Visible.
The applicant is a native of El Salvador who sought asylum in the United States. In El Salvador, she refused to join a gang, and the gang viciously attacked her and threatened her with further violence if she continued to refuse to join. The applicant asserted that she was attacked by gang members because of her political opinion of opposing the gang's agenda, and because of her membership in a particular social group. The Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) denied asylum.
The Tenth Circuit found that substantial evidence supported the BIA's determination that applicant had not been persecuted on account of her political opinion. To show persecution because of political opinion, an applicant must establish that the political opinion was at least one central reason for the persecution. Here, the evidence showed that it was equally likely that the attack was motivated by anger at applicant's unwillingness to join the gang and their desire to coerce her into joining as it was by her political opinion.
The Circuit also considered applicant's claim that she was entitled to asylum because the attack was based on her membership in a particular social group, which she argued was made up of women in El Salvador between the ages of 12 and 25 who resisted gang recruitment. The Circuit determined that this group could meet the particularity standard, but it did not meet the socially visible test; that is, whether the citizens of the applicant's country would consider individuals with the pertinent trait to constitute a distinct social group, and whether the applicant's community is capable of identifying an individual as belonging to the group. The BIA's decision to deny asylum was affirmed.
No. 10-2060. United States v. Burleson. 09/12/2001. D.N.M. Judge Ebel. Fourth Amendment—Investigatory Stop—Scope of Stop Permitting Check for Warrants.
Defendant was indicted for possession of a firearm subsequent to a felony conviction. An officer discovered the firearm after he stopped defendant on a street in Roswell, New Mexico, shortly before midnight. The officer observed defendant and two companions exit an alleyway and begin walking down the middle of the street side-by-side. One of the individuals was carrying a pit bull without a leash. The officer decided to stop the individuals because (1) walking in the middle of the street is a violation of New Mexico law and a Roswell ordinance; and (2) they were carrying a dog that appeared to be older than a puppy, and dog thefts had been reported in the city. The officer stopped the individuals, told them they were not permitted to walk in the middle of the street, and asked them about the dog and asked for their names. He then performed a warrant check for each of them, using a portable radio attached to his belt. Dispatch reported that there was a warrant for defendant. The officer arrested him, at which point defendant revealed the existence of the weapons for which he was charged. The district court subsequently granted defendant's motion to suppress the handguns the officer found, ruling that the officer exceeded the permissible scope of the detention when he ran the warrants check. The government appealed.
On appeal, the Tenth Circuit considered whether defendant was lawfully detained at the time the officer checked his name for warrants. It concluded that an officer may perform a warrants check on a pedestrian during the course of a lawful investigatory stop. The district court erred in concluding that the stop had been concluded by the time the officer ran the warrants check. The officer's investigation continued after he told the individuals that walking in the street was illegal, because he had to assess their demeanor and determine whether a warning, a citation, or some other action was warranted. He also was entitled to ask questions about the dog they were carrying, and to obtain their names in case someone later reported the dog stolen. The three-to-five minute detention that occurred while he was obtaining this information was not unreasonable. Accordingly, the Circuit reversed the district court's grant of defendant's motion to suppress.
No. 10-3034. United States v. Blechman. 09/14/2011. D.Kan. Judge Ebel. Admission of Evidence—Hearsay—Double Hearsay Based on Account Information Submitted Over Internet and Not Verified—Harmless Error.
Defendant was convicted of mail fraud and conspiracy to commit mail fraud as the result of a bankruptcy fraud scheme in which he participated. He and a co-conspirator operated a business in which they were paid to temporarily halt home foreclosures by "attaching" foreclosure properties to fraudulent bankruptcies to take advantage of the Bankruptcy Code's automatic stay provision. On appeal, defendant challenged the district court's admission of an AOL record that connected him to an e-mail address used to communicate with his co-conspirator, as well as three federal court PACER records revealing that he had accessed fraudulent bankruptcy cases in Tennessee that were similar to the Kansas bankruptcies identified in the indictment. The Tenth Circuit held that the district court erred in admitting these documents under the hearsay rule, but that the error was harmless.
At trial, an investigator for AOL testified that account information the prosecution sought to introduce was kept in the regular course of business, made at or near the time of the information recorded, and made by a person with knowledge of AOL's business. However, she admitted that AOL did not verify who originally input the subscriber information showing defendant's name; it could have been inputted by anyone with a computer. The district court allowed the exhibit to be admitted as a business record, notwithstanding defendant's objection. The district court also admitted information from a Yahoo.com account showing that defendant used the AOL address as an alternate e-mail address, as well as e-mails exchanged between the AOL address and defendant's co-conspirator that tended to show defendant's participation in the scheme.
In addition, the district court admitted PACER information showing that defendant accessed PACER bankruptcy records using the same IP address as defendant's Yahoo account. The government produced evidence from a surveillance camera showing that defendant's mother had mailed documents to the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of Tennessee, as well as a screen capture from PACER's account maintenance application. The employee who sponsored the PACER screen capture admitted that he could not verify whether defendant was the person who accessed PACER over the Internet. Similarly, the government submitted business information from PACER showing that a PACER account had been used to access Tennessee bankruptcy cases similar to those used in the Kansas scheme.
Finally, the government admitted information showing that defendant purchased money orders and sent priority mail packages related to the fraudulent bankruptcy cases. The co-conspirator took the stand and denied knowing that any of the bankruptcies were fraudulent; he attributed all of the fraudulent bankruptcies to defendant.
The Tenth Circuit noted that both the AOL record and the PACER records were offered to prove that defendant was the registered owner of the AOL address and that he was associated with a PACER account used to access fraudulent bankruptcy cases in Tennessee. Thus, these records constituted hearsay. The district court admitted them under the business records exception. However, the records were double hearsay, because the information on the forms was provided by an outsider to the business and was itself hearsay within hearsay. Because neither AOL nor PACER made a meaningful effort to verify the identity of the person who submitted the information, the records should not have been admitted under the business records exception. Nevertheless, the error was harmless because other overwhelming evidence linked defendant to the AOL address, and because other overwhelming evidence linked defendant to the fraudulent bankruptcy scheme. The Circuit therefore affirmed defendant's mail fraud-related convictions.

Disney Exec Backs Mel
But will the rest of Hollywood follow along?
Are we really surprised at Mel Gibson's drunken anti-Semitic outburst last week? After his wink-wink Holocaust denials in the past? Probably not. The question is whether Hollywood will continue to countenance him. Disney is set to release his next movie; Oren Aviv, the new head of the Disney film studio, says he is prepared to forgive and forget.
For those who might not remember, Gibson's father is a Holocaust denier, and Gibson, pressed on the subject before the opening of The Passion of the Christ, said Dad had never lied to him in his life.
He also offered some choice Holocaust-denier code talk: Many people died in World War II and some of them were Jews. And we've heard that he didn't quite take the Jewish blood-curse language out of his movie—just the English subtitle. Since our dead languages are rusty, fact-checking this is tricky. God knows if it's true, if you know what we mean. Gibson's publicist, Alan Neirob, declined to offer any enlightenment on the matter.
Gibson has apologized for his recent outburst and said he didn't mean what he said (which was, among other niceties, "Fucking Jews … The Jews are responsible for all the wars in the world"). And of course, he was drunk. Certainly in our own limited experience with inebriation, we've never found ourselves inclined to articulate opinions utterly foreign to us. Given Gibson's Holocaust-denying history, it's hard to argue that he deserves the benefit of the doubt.
Even in his apology, Gibson fudged. "I am deeply ashamed of everything I said, and I apologize to anyone who I have offended," he said. "Also, I take this opportunity to apologize to the deputies involved for my belligerent behavior." We can see that Gibson had a lot of ground to cover here—he threatened to get one cop fired and called another "sugar tits." But still—he can single out a few deputies for an apology without a word for millions of Jews? Asked why Gibson didn't address his slurs directly, publicist Nierob offered a bold "No comment."
Disney is set to release Gibson's Apocalypto in December—the same Disney that recently announced plans to slash its staff and its production slate while it pursues more family-oriented movies worthy of the company brand. Certainly Apocalypto won't be one of those, as it deals with human sacrifice and the bloody fate of the Mayan people. You can be sure the subject has provided Gibson ample opportunity to indulge his well-established appetite for gore.
Aviv, who recently ascended to head of the Disney film studio, happens to be a committed member of the tribe that Gibson seems to blame for everything. It is well-known in Hollywood that Aviv stopped speaking to director Michael Mann in the weeks before the release of The Insider because Mann was rude and disrespectful. In fact, there are those who say that Aviv vowed never to work with Mann again. We asked Aviv whether he might also be annoyed by anti-Semitic invective and received the following statement:
"The rumored incident in regards to Michael Mann happened over seven years ago … it's behind us. He's a talented director and I respect his body of work. I've worked with Mel on several films over the years and we have a great relationship. We all make mistakes and I've accepted his apology to what was a regrettable situation. I wish him the very best on his path to healing."
Perhaps Aviv is showing greatness of spirit here. But while we're on the subject of fudging, note that he doesn't say he would work with Mann again, talented or not.
Will the rest of Hollywood follow Disney's lead? Some in the industry vowed not to work with Gibson after his earlier performance: Dances With Facts About the Holocaust. Yet when the big Passion grosses rolled in, many couldn't wait to embrace him. It's a business that will forgive just about anything if the hits keep coming.

Good Value, Good Breakfast, Pleasant looking pool and spa area, very friendly and helpful employees, beds more comfortable than expected, liked the 2 room suites. Rooms too small, bathroom not as clean as would have liked, breakfast area much too small for number of people, couch extremely uncomfortable - almost un-usable, freeway noice a little much
Great value for the money
My biggest complaint was the mold in the bathroom and/or in the room. They were kind enough to allow us to move to a different room.
location good, except distance to beach not walking distance. shopping center nearby.

In the movie Rio, Blue Sky Studios takes the opportunity to live up to their name and create a skyscape filled with playful clouds for Blu the macaw and his feathered friends. In CG, clouds can be quite complex and need to exist in wide varieties. Blue Sky turned to Houdini to help them build cloud tools which would provide the team with an efficient pipeline and the necessary creative control.
Blue Sky needed a system in place that would both create and then manage a large quantity of clouds. Because the movie would be projected in stereoscopic 3D, matte paintings wouldn't work. Additionally, the movie's bird characters were required to interact with the clouds during flight. Blue Sky also wanted the ability to store and reuse clouds therefore a cloud library would be needed.
The most important requirement throughout this process was complete control and flexibility which is where Houdini's procedural approach and Digital Asset technology came into play.
Building Assets for the Job
Using Houdini Digital Assets, Blue Sky built five separate tools to help them accomplish the task of creating, refining and managing clouds. With most of these shots taking place in the lower atmosphere, they would need to populate the skies with with Stratus, Stratocumulus and Cumulus Humilis clouds.
The Cloud Farmer Asset was built to establish the basic volume of the clouds by seeding spheres onto source geometry such as a model or a volume. It would then scale the spheres based on an algorithm that would simulate the billowing puffy shapes found within a cloud. The asset would let the artist add randomness to the scale of the clouds and make changes to the random seed that placed the cloud on the source model. These low level controls provided them with the flexibility to generate numerous cloud shapes from one single source model. Lastly, the Cloud Farmer asset would then convert the spheres into a volume. With as many as two million spheres per volume they already had plenty of detail at this early stage of production.
Next came the Cloud Noise Asset. This second asset would apply five layers of noise to the clouds and also convect and skew the data to produce even more detail. Using volume operators, they could flatten out the bottoms of the clouds when required.
And finally, there was the SmogVox digital asset. Although multiple-scattering is resource intensive due to the need to calculate multiple refractions of light rays through the volume, it is necessary to give clouds their characteristic warm internal glow. Therefore, they developed a zero-cost approximation of multiple-scattering in SmogVox, the volume renderer in their proprietary raytracer, CGI Studio. This enabled them to quickly render tests by exporting the perspective camera and lights from the Houdini scene and using SmogVox to render the cloud with the multiple-scattering approximation.
This asset enabled them to launch renders with CGI Studio, their proprietary renderer, using the perspective camera and lights from the Houdini scene while accepting SmogVox settings for multiple scattering and other features.
A Library of Clouds
It was also important that Blue Sky had the ability to build up a library of clouds that artists could draw from and then edit the clouds before exporting them to be used in a shot. For their Cloud Library Commit asset, they created a special export tool that sends the high res volume data to disk as well as sets up a directory structure and launches a turntable render for use in the 2D cloud pipeline.
When it came time to bring clouds from the library back into Houdini, they used their Cloud Library Import tool. Individual clouds were placed into a cloud set for each shot. After the clouds were placed, merged and edited as volumes, they were passed through a node that re-sampled the cloud volumes based on their distance from camera and a user-defined pixel size. This process reduced voxel count and RAM usage when the shots were rendered with CGI Studio.
Blue Sky found that working with procedural volumes was of great benefit to them when building clouds. This approach provided a much quicker alternative to using computational fluid dynamics, an option they would have had to use with other packages. Python scripting also allowed them to connect their Cloud and Sky pipeline to their proprietary renderer, giving them a graphical button-based wrapper to launch renders.
Using Houdini allowed Blue Sky Studios to build an efficient and flexible pipeline for the movie Rio. It also gave them the ability to create and manage a library of clouds that they could easily refer to any time they needed to build on existing work and ultimately achieve their creative goals.

Sean O'Leary wearing a Corner Brook Barons jersey in 1956. Submitted photo
The movie "42" has people talking again about Jackie Robinson and the sad, sad things he endured to become the first black player in Major League Baseball.
Even though I haven't seen the film - maybe some night this week - it got me thinking about a Newfoundland man who witnessed racism directed at Robinson firsthand.
The late Sean O'Leary was just a kid from Corner Brook when he attended Brooklyn Dodgers training camp at Vero Beach, Florida, in 1949.
Robinson had broken baseball's colour barrier two seasons before and the second baseman was an integral part of Dodgers' legendary lineup at camp.
O'Leary shared his experience with me for a story in 1997. He remembered one instance when he and some players were simply walking up the road.
A powder-blue Cadillac offered a ride and began asking questions about the Dodgers.
The cigar-chomping driver started asking about that "God-damned Robinson" and said he'd run him down if he saw him.
"That is what Robinson was up against," O'Leary told me.
The father of St. John's Coun. Sheilagh O'Leary, he also recalled dividing lines ordering blacks to sit in the back of the bus and whites to park in front, and signs over businesses that read, "No blacks or Jews."
"What an attitude people had," O'Leary said.
But Robinson - who had spit, baseballs and the N-word hurled at him as he overcame racism - played through it all.
O'Leary, as a first baseman on a tryout, didn't get to actually share the infield with Robinson, but to learn whatever he could, he studied the second baseman and the other Dodgers carefully.
"He was an absolute pleasure to watch," O'Leary said of Robinson. "He could really move. He could really pour it on. He deserves all the recognition he's gotten."
His fondest memory of Robinson was a long conversation over supper.
At camp, players tossed their name tags in a box and were told where to sit at supper.
One evening, O'Leary was put alongside Robinson.
"He asked me where I was from and it went on from there," he recalled. "We had a grand chat. Robinson was well-spoken, very modest. He was a gentleman, a diplomat. He was a super guy. He made me feel comfortable where I didn't belong."
In the end, O'Leary didn't make the Dodgers. He played that season with a semi-pro team out of Dartmouth, N.S.
He spent some time in the Canadian Air Force before returning to Corner Brook, where he continued playing ball and founded the Humber Hawks, a team that's still around today.
O'Leary later relocated to St. John's. He died in 2001 at the age of 72.
"Robinson did much more outside of baseball, more than anyone," he told me. "He did the world a lot of good."
That's why Robinson's story is so important to tell - in movies, newspaper columns and anywhere else.
Racism is ugly and unnecessary, and Robinson withstood unnerving amounts of it.
Sean O'Leary was lucky enough to be at the Dodgers camp - the first Newfoundlander to get a major league tryout - but he unfortunately witnessed the kind of crap Robinson faced.
"I didn't know enough about (racism)," he said. "I'm 18, green as grass, among 300 ballplayers, and didn't know a soul. It took a while."

People often wonder how on earth they're going to keep up with all the various social media accounts, so they ask me what I do.
A lot.
Actually, there are really three main applications I use on my laptop that help me tremendously in regard to time management. Now, I'm still a huge advocate of live tweeting, FB, etc.; please don't think I'm completely automated, because if you follow any of my accounts, you'll know I'm quite present.
However, much can be done to save you time and that's my focus today:
I'm a fan. Have been for many years. Hootsuite allows you to manage up to five accounts free; beyond that it's less than $10/month which is a great investment in you: in freeing up your time. I use Hootsuite primarily to manage:
(Both personal and pages)
(Both personal and pages)
(Business page only)
With regard to scheduling tweets and messages (know your keywords or topics – then it's easier to come up with them), I've found Hootsuite to be the easiest and most user-friendly.
It shortens long URLs for you, gives you the option of scheduling yourself or using their (fairly new) auto-schedule feature, (install the Chrome or Firefox extension to make it even easier), and you can schedule multiple tweets over different days, up to years at a time (which I don't recommend, given the nature of social media). I usually do a few days, up to a week.
There are SO many terrific components of Hootsuite, beyond scheduling tweets. If you have customers or simply want to know what's resonating, you can track individual tweets, get weekly reports, or even go in daily. There are also now hundreds of other applications it hooks into (Mailchimp, WordPress, Instagram…the list goes on).
For you Tweetdeck fans, knock yourselves out. I've just never enjoyed the layout and I like being able to manage G+ pages, which you can't do from there.
Also free for the start-up plan, I LOVE this application. It will suggest followers for you (and purges), let you set up a dripfeed of relevant content (again, know your keywords or topics), hook up to Twitter, LinkedIn, and Facebook, allow scheduling, allow you to reply to all the peeps who have RTd you in one fail swoop (either live or scheduled)…honestly, it would take me days to tell you all they do.
Admittedly, I was slightly put off by ALL the options when I first started with them, but each instructional video is around one minute and truthfully, much of what they do is self-evident. Just click around.
And their customer service is amazing. Who could ask for anything more?
You know I'm a huge fan of this Twitter app. Why? So many people think they are stuck at following the same 2K people and because Twitter imposes a 10% following/follower ratio at 2K, many people just sit there, hoping the issue resolves itself.
Stop it. Nothing about social media is passive, right?
Go to ManageFlitter, authorize your Twitter account, and clean that jack up. I go in a few days/week to delete inactives (haven't tweeted in 30 days or more), eggs (please), fakes (please, again), and if you haven't followed me back after a week or so, I unfollow.
And you can create whitelists, so those people who may be inactive but you don't want to unfollow are safe. And you can import your lists into ManageFlitter. And you can follow people, too, based on (guess what she's gonna say?) keywords. And (promise, it's my last one), there's a nifty little 'fast select' button which makes unfollowing and following lightening fast.
(Note: though, technically, you can follow up to 1,000 tweeps per day, I don't recommend more than 25-50, maximum 100. They will suspend your account if they think you're 'churning' (following and unfollowing) or following too aggressively.)
Listen, if you're on Twitter, you need to be ON Twitter. You should know who is interacting with you, RTing you, and is generally participating. You're wasting time and let's face it, money (if you're using Twitter to sell something or increase business), by following people who don't follow back.
Using this service has exponentially helped me to increase my following and interact with targeted users. So there. (P.S. I hype them so much – and they don't even pay me! — they actually interviewed me recently about what I love so much about it. Read that here.)
Twitter Lists: Okay, I lied. Here are four top tips. I've written fairly extensively about lists, but here's something many don't realize: if you're stuck at 2K (which come on already people, read number 3), you can use lists. Why? You can create up to 20 lists (public or private), which can have up to 500 people each. That's 10,000 tweeps you can list (and not necessarily follow) to increase your presence and make connections.
Lists should reflect your keywords and topics, (i.e, I write about men, women, relationships, writing, social media, right? So my lists are: Fab Writers, Great Bloggers, Charming Men, Hot Chicks. You get it.)
Listen, none of this is news. It's simply what I do to optimize my (and my clients') presence in the minimal amount of time we all have each day.
Got questions about any of this? Ask below, or share your own experiences with me! Be sure to sign up for newsletter so you don't miss any upcoming activities.
I'm a chick who writes stuff that makes you laugh. My book A Walk In The Snark hit #1 on the Kindle Motherhood list this past September (do you think they know I talk about sex? Shhh.). It's since hit about oh, I've lost count. #woot! I've been nominated for Funniest Blog, Best Humor Writer & Redhead Who Makes A Killer Dirty Martini (okay, I made the last one up, but it's true. Honest.). I released The Mancode: Exposed right after Thanksgiving 2011 and by January, it placed in the Amazon Top 100 Paid!
I'm a mom, a wife, and a recovering pharmaceuticals rep. It's been a long process, but I'm doing okay, thanks. I also used to sell Trojan-brand condoms. Yeah, it's hilarious, I know. I did it for three years way back when, and I was their top salesperson in the Western Region, a dubious honor at best. My number-one customer was the Mustang Ranch. No, seriously. The Mustang Ranch. I couldn't make stuff like that up. The experience definitely gave me insights into the… er… ins and outs of men.
So it should come as no great surprise that I write about how men (The Mancode) and women (Chickspeak) approach most things differently. And since I did, in fact, grow past my Trojan days (in more ways than one or–insert your own joke here), I've thrown in a few tidbits about marriage, kids, being a mom, living in the OC (ya know-being a pale redhead living in a sea of blondes), coffee, and vodka. Not necessarily in that order, depending on the day.
Like everyone, I've also had some rough times. I share those with you, too. Life can't always be martinis and beaches. Wait, this is the OC (Orange County, CA, for those of you from Canada, or people on the East Coast who don't know California beyond LA). Naw, not even here.

Lincoln slips to third in PVL following Colfax loss
By: Jim Linsdau News Messenger Sports Editor
Placer takes league crown
It certainly wasn?t the way the Lincoln High baseball team wanted to finish but a three-game losing streak capped by a 6-4 loss to Colfax Thursday ended their hopes of a Pioneer Valley League title. After defeating Placer 5-1 last week it appeared the Fighting Zebras were in control. However, the Hillmen bounced back to take the second of their two-game series and that started a Lincoln slump. Colfax then did the rest by sweeping the Zebras in the final two games of the regular season. Those last two games we should have won but we didn?t finish,? said Lincoln head coach Troy Peterson said after Thursday?s loss. ?We hit the ball well today but we hit it at them. I?ve got to think about how to get them motivated going into the playoffs and to win in the playoffs. But this team?s very capable of doing it.? Going in as the PVL?s No. 3 seed, Lincoln must travel to Benicia for a game against the Panthers. Benicia (12-3, 20-4 overall) was the Solano County League?s No. 2 seed. The game is scheduled for Monday, 4 p.m. Lincoln had six hits against Colfax in the final game including a double by Ethan Liddle and a home run by Trent Parks. However, where the Falcons? hits found the gaps the Zebras? hits found a Colfax glove. Jake Sola pitched the full seven innings giving up 12 hits and six runs. He struck out three and walked only one batter. Colfax right hander Austin Young had a solid day on the mound getting Lincoln to swing at some bad pitches. Where Young sometimes appeared unable to keep the ball out of the dirt it turned out to be effective in giving Lincoln little to hit. ?I go off of what my coach wants,? said Young of his pitching strategy. ?He tries to call it where he thinks the batter isn?t going to be able to hit it or not hit it as hard as he can.? The strategy worked as the Falcons claimed second in the league race. Colfax 6, Lincoln 4 R H E Falcons 2 0 0 0 2 2 0 ? 6 12 2 Zebras 0 0 0 1 0 1 2 ? 4 3 0

New Light Bulb Labeling Program Coming Next Year
Posted By Andrew Michler On July 7, 2010 @ 4:28 pm In Design,Green Lighting,Green Technology,Innovation | 1 Comment
The Federal Trade Commission [2] (FTC) has just announced a new labeling program for light bulbs that will help consumers compare the wide range of products available. Although CFL [3] and LED [4] bulbs have been available for a while now, they offer a bewildering number of choices [5] and have vastly different performance and quality issues. The program consists of two labels — the front label gives the product's brightness, energy cost, life expectancy, light appearance [6] (from "warm" to "cool" light), and wattage. The back label will add an energy-star label if the product qualifies, and a mercury warning if needed.
For a long time the lighting standard has been the 60 watt incandescent light bulb, so manufactures often label their CFL or LED bulbs as "equivalent to" that bulb, and they use it as a basis to calculate energy cost savings. This has always been a problem, because there has never been a third party testing to confirm claims — and because it simply doesn't matter. The real important figures are how many lumens a bulb has, its light output per watt, and its color.
Comparing modern lighting technologies to the hundred-year-old light bulb is a little like comparing a Model-T to a Prius — they both get you there, but in a very different way. Due to roll out in mid 2011, the lighting labels [2] are similar to food nutrition labels insofar as they are designed to give you basic information so that you can easily compare products.
Lumens [8] are the most important rating that consumers will need to be aware of. Obviously lighting can be much more complex than what a simple label can accommodate — other considerations include the Color Rending Index [9] (CRI), cold weather performance, dimmablity, light spread, and Lifecycle Cost Analysis (LCA). The new label program will hopefully help wean consumers away from the poor standard that is the incandescent light bulb — a product that is a pitiful 5% efficient!

This is a update to an article I published about a week ago. Since then, new data, negotiations, and information has been made available. The old article can be viewed here:The biggest change in the last week is that BART has since decreased their wage demands from 23% (7% a year) to a 12% cumulative increase (as of early October). Two raises of 3.7% and a final one of 4%. This is close to half of their original demand. This, in addition to other newly discovered data, has slightly changed my stance. In short, I believe BART and union workers can get what they both want if they properly manage the organization going forward.Even without this raise, BART workers still exceed their peers in the industry in gross pay, making more than 50% over their LA counterparts and about 1/3 over their Silicon Valley equivalents. BART workers make over $10K more than SF MUNI workers who presumably live and work in a city with one of the highest costs of living in the entire nation, if not world. This 12% increase (in cyan) would put BART workers far ahead of all of them. Asterisks denote Bay Area agencies:
"BART went into negotiations with the goal of cutting $100 million in labor costs, through reductions in health care and pensions and changing what they considered "wasteful" work rules, like unnecessary overtime."… four of the five unions and non-union employees to get a one percent raise if strict guidelines were met, including increased ridership and sales tax revenues."
[source]BART wanted to cut overtime payments and pension payments. They negotiated a bunch of new guidelines, that if met, would give BART workers a 1% wage increase. Those goals were met, ridership went up, revenues went up. But instead of taking the 1% that they negotiated for, they want 3.7%. And 3.7% the following year. And 4% the next.Historically, BART fares have tracked BART wages. If this trend keeps up, be prepared to pay even more in the coming years. The last strike threat was only 4 years ago.On the side of the BART workers, the argument of fairness comes up. Shouldn't BART workers get decent salary increases every few years? Yes, they should. I believe everyone should make as much money as they can with the talents and skills they possess. I also believe a 3-4% annual increase is reasonable for anyone in any industry.But I also believe that a strike is necessary to address employee grievances. On the topic of earnings, BART workers well exceed all of their peers. They have also reportedly agreed to a 1% upon meeting certain criteria as a part of their last bargaining agreement. This leads me to believe: this strike isn't about grievances, it's about excess.And excess is one of the union sticking points that they refuse to give up. In 2009, BART had to address "wasteful" work rules, like overtime pay. After looking over some numbers, this should be the sticking point BART should negotiate most aggressively. Some key figures:
Percent of union employees who received overtime pay in 2012
Percent of base, average employee earned in OT
The salary of a Senior Operations Foreworker
His overtime pay in the same year
Other people with the same title and skill set
Total overtime paid in 2012
The increase every BART worker could receive a year for three years
if overtime was abolished and redistributed
DEFINITIONUnder general supervision, plans, directs, supervises, and reviews the work of a shift of operations staff involved in revenue system support in rail and/or station operations; acts as a primary tower foreworker in rail operations; provides for the instruction of staff in work and safety procedures; performs a variety of administrative or special assignments; performs related work as assigned.MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONSGraduation from high school or the equivalent and two years of experience as an Operations Foreworker with the District.
No, the BART strike isn't necessary. It's analogous to a child throwing a tantrum because he can't have his cake and eat it too. But the onus isn't on them alone – BART has mismanaged their workforce to a point that multiple workers are making more than 140% of their regular pay in overtime. As a public agency, BART has the responsibility to properly manage their workers and shifts; while the unions should stop allowing, and exploiting this type of behavior. This is inexcusable behavior on both parties, and the only people suffering for it are the commuters.Another thing to consider. An editorial at the Oakland Tribune reports:
The three-year expiration would also line up with the end of the newly negotiated AC Transit contract, once again leaving the East Bay vulnerable to a walkout by workers at both agencies.

1. I'd read some testimonies and actually knew of some people who have had good results by applying RESPIRATORY RELIEF on their bunions, so I told my mother about it. She got definite relief, but it didn't go away.
2. I used MUSCLE RELAX on my bunion and saw noticeable improvement in about 3 days. It hasn't gone away, but it not longer bothers me, and I forget to apply the oil consistently.
3. Someone told me that bunions were an inflammatory response to a virus and occurs when a person is acidic and/or lacks minerals. Click here for anAlkaline/Acidic Food Chart.
4. According to a book by Ross A Hauser, Prolo Your Pain Away!, our ligaments get too stretched, losing their elasticity like worn out rubber bands. Injury can cause this or use of non-steroid pain relievers such as ibuprofen and cortisone. The loose ligaments can't do their job of holding things in place, so the tendons suffer also and eventually the muscles over compensate. The muscles pinch nerves and tighten up on joints so much that bone can be pushed out of place or chipped off! This is one cause of bunions and plantar fasciatis. This is a description of where I was. I used LEMONGRASS oil directly on my feet 2 times daily for 2.5 months with total relief after over three years of misery and trying all sorts of things for relief. (I now recommend that anyone who tries this dilute the Lemongrass!) My bunions didn't dissolve, but they are no longer painful.

O's: Garrett Olson says goodbye
Jeff Zrebiec, the Orioles' beat writer for The Sun, spoke to Garrett Olson today. Here are his thoughts on the trade.
First reaction to trade: "It was a surprise. I didn't look at anything online. I hadn't been paying attention to any trade talks. I just tried to ignore that this offseason. I got the call from [Andy] MacPhail this morning and it did catch me by surprise. It kind of hit me strange. It is exciting, a new challenge. But part of me is also sad to be leaving. It's like a family in Baltimore. It was always awesome to play there and I'll never forget that. But I'm also forward to going to Chicago. They're rich in tradition. I grew up watching games on WGN. It will be an adventure because I really don't know anyone there."
On whether he thinks he still may be headed to San Diego in potential Jake Peavy deal: "I don't believe in looking way ahead to see what the possibilities are. I really believe that whatever you're given, that's what you have. Right now, I plan on being a Cub. It's out of my hands. That's something that hasn't been talked about. When I talked to [Cubs general manager] Jim Hendry today, that wasn't an option. He didn't even bring it up to me. If that's going on, that's up to them."
Were you surprised because Orioles have so much uncertainty in rotation: "It kind of hits you by surprise. I've been up and down the last year and a half. I figured I had a great chance to come in and contribute this year. But I'm sure it will work out better for both sides. I think [Felix] Pie was somebody Andy has been trying to get for a while and he had to sacrifice something. I understood that and didn't take it to heart. I'm sure it will work out for both teams. Going to the Cubs, I realize that there aren't as many opportunities in the rotation. I feel like I have to prove myself again. But either way, I'm ready to go. I see the pros and cons in both. I think it will be a good change."
Did you get enough of an opportunity as an Oriole: "I feel like I was given plenty of opportunities and I feel like I did what I could. I'm grateful for it. I'm very proud to say I put in time with the Orioles. It was an amazing time. I felt like it made me a better pitcher and person. I feel like this is a new chapter to my career. What I got from developing and growing up in that organization, I feel like I can use that always."

Maybe it will turn out that Stuxnet was little more than the over-hyped tech version of the recent hurricane that left a path of destruction everywhere it touched down over large parts of Asia - or maybe we'll see that it ushered in a new era whose anxieties and terrors surpassed the most maudlin and morose predictions of futurists and Hollywood directors.
