I have researched and test drove and researched some more over the last few weeks and these are the options I find in my price range. Please tee off on why you think one is better than the other:
Dahon Speed D7 2008 $386 slightly larger than the 2009, but slightly lighter as well 10400 cubic inche
Dahon Speed D7 2009 $432 15% smaller when folded than the 2008, but a little heavier to carry 8775 cubic inches
Downtube fs9 $359 shorter high gears in gear inches. but a more forgiving ride 9345.6 cubic inches
and lastly the : eco 3 $339 11.7 x 31.2 x 25.7 26.7lbs 9381 cubic inches
all prices are at reasonable dealers. I have test driven all the dahon, but not the downtubes.
My needs: tall 6'2" 170 lbs. 23 miles commute roundtrip. 13-miles the most in any one time.

The Grand Hotel is one of Sopot's defining architectural features. Sitting majestically overlooking the beach just to the north of the pier, the Grand, or Kasino Hotel as it was originally called, opened in 1927. Its construction marked a new era in the history of the city and its opulent design and adjacent casino attracted the great and the good from all over Europe. This inter-war period marked a golden age for town, and the hotel was where the millionaire playboys of the age would party and bed down for the night following an evening of gambling their fortunes at the roulette and blackjack tables in the casino. According to local myth, the side street by the hotel was something of a suicide alley, where those who had lost the coat on their backs would finish their lives with a bang.
One of the many who reputedly lost their fortune here was the former mayor of Sopot, Erich Laue.
With the invasion of Poland and the Free City on September 1, 1939, the Kasino Hotel found itself centre-stage again. Adolf Hitler based himself at the hotel in mid-September while he waited for the fall of Warsaw and stayed in suites 251-253. While he was staying at the hotel he was accompanied by high-ranking Nazis and military such as von Ribbentrop, Bormann, Keitel and Rommel.
The hotel managed to survive World War II despite much of the adjoining complex of buildings, including the casino, being destroyed as the Red Army took the city and drove the Germans out. It was soon back operating as a hotel (now renamed the Grand) run in turn by the Gdynia-America Shipping Company, the Polish Ocean Lines Group and finally the state-owned hotel operator Orbis. The hotel continued to attract international guests and was both the hotel of choice for Polish communist leaders and a focus of attention of the Polish Secret Services during the Cold War era, with the long-serving director a major in the Polish Secret Services (SB). With the introduction of the Sopot Music Festival in the 1960s the hotel played host to the international stars who came to perform as well as the major events surrounding the festival.
A casino returned to the hotel in 1990 following the fall of Communism but the hotel found itself rather frayed at the edges and in need of serious modernisation. With the takeover of the Orbis hotel group by the French company Accor in the early part of the 21st century the Grand finally had an operator capable of returning it to its former glory. The hotel was closed and completely modernised re-opening in 2006 under the international Sofitel brand.
The hotel has always been synonymous with style, and the guest book reads like a Who's Who of 20th century figures: Fidel Castro, the Shah of Iran and Charles de Gaulle are a few of the names who came to sleep here and the bar contains walls of photographs of some of the hotel's most famous guests.
The Grand has once again assumed the mantle as one of the best hotels in Poland. Individually designed rooms come with acres of space to roam around in, and a breezy elegance that harks to the hotel's heyday. Flat screen televisions stand in front of huge beds, and rooms feature classy dark wood finishes with many coming with views of the pier. Ensuite bathrooms tout dressing gowns and cosmetics, and the hotel also boasts state-of-the-art fitness and spa facilities. There is a beautiful private garden and the hotel also has a private beach out front making the Grand once again a top-class beach resort hotel.

But some of those little details are pretty fascinating and give insight into what the system can and can't do. Here are a few things you might not know about Microsoft's latest console.
It can help you improve your TV's picture. Next generation graphics aren't going to be as eye-popping as they could be if your TV isn't optimized. Hidden in the Xbox One's settings (in the display and sound category) is a calibration tool that helps you tweak the brightness and color settings (among many others) on your set to get the best picture possible.
There are professionals who charge hundreds of dollars to do this very same thing. While their services are likely much better than the Xbox One's advice, this is still an easy way to prepare your HD set not for only games, but for better quality television viewing.
The controller was almost completely different. The Xbox One controller may not seem a whole lot different than what you had for the Xbox 360 - but before settling on the less-is-more design philosophy, Microsoft reportedly spent $100 million exploring some crazy ideas.
Among those was a device that emitted smells. Another came with a projector that beamed out visuals around the player. And Microsoft toyed with the idea of a touchpad, camera and speakers in the controller. Ultimately the ideas were nixed so that players would remain focused on the TV in front of them and the controller's battery life would be longer.
You can pace while you Skype. When you Skype with a friend from your laptop or desktop, it's a pretty stationary affair. If you move more than a foot or two, you're usually out of the picture. With Xbox One, you can roam if you want to.
The Kinect camera is designed to stay focused on you, so if you pace while on a call, the camera will follow you around the room, even zooming in if you're far away. It's a minor feature, but a very useful one that finally makes videoconferencing as convenient as using a handheld phone.
It has three operating systems. Xbox One has multiple purposes; making a single operating system to juggle all of them presented risks. A tweak to improve, say, Skyping could affect the gameplay experience - which would be disastrous.
As a result, Microsoft made the decision to have three brains within the console. One is used to run apps such as Skype. Another is focused on gaming. And a third acts as a mediator of sorts, ensuring that the first two are talking to each other.
It doesn't do 4K... Perhaps because of the last-minute policy changes - and perhaps because Ultra HD televisions are just hitting the market – the Xbox One does not support 4K games or movies at this point. That's expected to change in the future, though, as Microsoft officials say 4K support will be included in a future update.
It doesn't do 3D either... Microsoft, unlike rivals Nintendo and Sony, has never fully gotten behind the 3D-gaming movement. They're not changing that stance with the launch of the Xbox One. (And, really, who can blame them, given how fast the trend seems to have faded?) That said, the company says it realizes there are people who enjoy watching movies and playing games in 3D, and it plans to bring those capabilities to the system in a future software update.
…but you can play your home movies. Sony upset its users when word slipped out that the PS4 didn't support media server functionality - and the company is racing to correct that. Microsoft dodged the bullet. Through DNLA, you can watch videos, look at photos and listen to music from virtually any media storage device in your home.

Archived Story
Russellville man accused of breaking into police carPublished 3:49pm Monday, October 21, 2013
A Russellville man accused of breaking into a police car over the weekend was arrested on Saturday, officials said.
Michael Trent Markhem, 26, 308 Edwards Lane, Russellville, was charged with breaking and entering a motor vehicle, second-degree theft of property, unlawful possession of a controlled substance and trafficking illegal drugs, Russellville Police Chief Chris Hargett said.
According to Hargett, investigators were dispatched Saturday morning to the home of a Russellville police officer whose patrol car had been burglarized.
Police investigator Lt. Scotty Lowery said the car in question was one of the K-9 patrol units.
Lowery said during the break-in, a Remington shotgun and other items were reported stolen.
Lowery said Markhem was developed as a suspect during the investigation and was located by patrol units two hours later.
During questioning, Lowery said Markhem admitted to the break-in and told investigators where the shotgun and other items could be found, which were recovered a short time later.
Markhem is currently being held in custody at the Franklin County Jail without bail pending a bond revocation hearing in a separate case.

X-POSITION: Phoenix, Upstarts & More Tear Up Bowers & Sims' "X-Men '92"
Comic Books
Graphic novels | A number of incoming freshmen at Duke University have refused to read Alison Bechdel's Fun Home, chosen as the summer reading selection for the class of 2019. Brian Grasso started the conversation by posting on the class Facebook page that he wouldn't read the graphic novel because of its depictions of sexuality, saying, "I feel as if I would have to compromise my personal Christian moral beliefs to read it." That opened up a discussion in which some students defended the book and said that reading it would broaden their horizons, while others shied away from the visual depictions of sexual acts. And Grasso felt that the choice was insensitive, commenting: "Duke did not seem to have people like me in mind. It was like Duke didn't know we existed, which surprises me." [Duke Chronicle]
Concluding this week, DC Comics' Convergence put the big in "big event": There were 89 individual comic books – a nine-issue weekly miniseries and 40 two-part miniseries – created by more than 75 writers and pencilers, plus a comparable legion of inkers, colorists and letterers.
Because of the sheer size, it's difficult to review the event in its entirety, so I'm not going to bother picking it part here. The main series wasn't particularly good, while the 40 tie-in series varied from terrible to excellent, with most of them falling somewhere in between.
In case you've watched this leviathan of a superhero event passing by without reading much – or any – of it, I thought it would be worthwhile to point out some of those excellent books, the ones that you should read if you decide to pick up any of Convergence, regardless of your interest in, or affection for, particular characters.
Ahead of the release later this month of DC Comics' Convergence: Shazam! #2, artist Evan "Doc" Shaner has gathered his model sheets for the major characters that appeared in the debut issue, including Captain Marvel/Billy Batson, Dr. Sivana, Captain Marvel Jr. and Mary Marvel.
They're interesting in and of themselves, of course, but also for the head shots in which Shaner mimics the styles of such greats as C.C Beck, Mac Raboy, Marc Swayze and Kurt Schaffenberger, showing from whom he drew inspiration.
Continuing with our annual "Looking Forward, Looking Back," we asked creators and other industry figures what they liked in 2014, what they're looking forward to in 2015, and what projects they have planned for the coming year.
In this installment, we hear from Faith Erin Hicks, Kevin Colden, Ben Towle, Gabriel Hardman, Jeff Parker, Jennie Wood, Blake Northcott, Irene Koh, Gus Storms, Janelle Asselin, Nolan Woodard and Janet K. Lee!
Be sure to check out Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, and Part 4, and then come back Saturday as ROBOT 6's sixth-anniversary celebration continues.
Legal | The Wally Wood estate has sued Tatjana Wood, ex-wife of the late cartoonist, claiming she's in possession of 150 to 200 pages of his art erroneously sent to her address in 2005 by Marvel. The couple were married in 1950 but divorced in the 1960s; Tatjana later worked extensively as a colorist for DC Comics. Wally committed suicide in 1981, leaving "all bank accounts, whether savings, checking, Certificates of Deposit, or otherwise" to Tatjana, and everything else to his estate, supervised by John H. Robinson. [The Comics Reporter]
Creators | "I'm an acquired taste," says Howard Chaykin, who was speaking to the press in advance of this weekend's Vegas Valley Comic Book Festival. He talks about working for small publishers, his unhappiness with the licensed Star Wars comics he did for Marvel, and the current trend of movies based on comics: "It's really just a matter of the guys who beat us up in high school finally figuring out a way to make money off our asses." [Las Vegas Review-Journal]
There's a lot to like in DC Comics' December solicitations, most of it due to the return of some old friends and the uber-nostalgic glimpses at a traditional status quo. It's not like the New 52's changes are being rolled back — I have no illusions about that, and I'm not sure how it would work if it did happen — but DC is always best served when it can channel the familiar aspects of its past in vibrant new forms.
I am starting to think Secret Six is the comic Gail Simone was born to write, even more so than Birds of Prey. There's always been a dark undercurrent running through her DC work, from BOP to Batgirl to The Movement, but only with the Sixers could she really cut loose. Indeed, as much as I enjoyed Scandal, Bane, Deadshot and the rest, I'm eager to see what she can do with six cryptically united strangers, most of whom will probably be new to us.
Those who believe the traditional, pre-New 52 DC Universe is still out there, somewhere in the Multiverse, can reasonably hang their collective hat on the return of the Keith Giffen/J.M. DeMatteis Blue Beetle and Booster Gold in Justice League 3000 #12. I'd go even further, and say this version of Beetle and Booster probably follows directly from the two "Super Buddies" arcs that Giffen, DeMatteis and Kevin Maguire produced in the mid-2000s. The second one, I Can't Believe It's Not the Justice League, ended rather pointedly with Beetle and Max Lord sharing a happy moment. That, of course, stood in stark contrast to the Countdown to Infinite Crisis special, in which Max shot Beetle in the head, and then (a few months later) successfully dared Wonder Woman to execute him. Therefore, the Beetle and Booster of JL3K hail from an Earth where things turned out quite differently — but ironically, they've been awakened in a dystopian future where the Justice Leaguers are darkly twisted versions of their old selves. Not that Giffen and DeMatteis can't find some comedy there, but I'm having trouble summoning up a bwah-hah-hah.
As a kid, The Phantom was one of my favorite comic strips. So last year, I was enthused when I learned that writer Jeff Parker was collaborating with artist Marc Laming on a miniseries called Kings Watch, starring Flash Gordon, The Phantom and Mandrake the Magician.
Ahead of the July release of the trade paperback collection, I spoke with Laming about the miniseries, and to briefly discuss how the project has opened the door for future work for him. My thanks to Laming for his time and to series editor Nate Cosby for facilitating the interview.
When I first heard about DC Comics' digital-first Batman '66, I thought it was going to be a novelty with little staying power. Nostalgia for the campy Adam West TV series has been pretty high lately, especially in the wake of the popular The Brave and the Bold cartoon, and the artists behind Batman '66 are faithful to the '60s pop-art look, most spectacularly rendered by Jonathan Case in the debut issues. But what happens once the initial thrill has passed, and you clear away the cobwebs of nostalgia?
Second, there's the unique format: When you swiped the page on a tablet, you'd sometimes get limited animation, you'd sometimes get a view of the artwork with the balloons out of the way, and sometimes you would experience a slight shift in the color palette with some retro screentone effects here and there. Sure, it's a little gimmicky … but it was employed a truly artistic sensibility that's impossible to replicate on paper. Sadly, as early as Issue 4, the novelty is seemingly abandoned.
I wonder… is there an equivalent to Glen Weldon's Superman: The Unauthorized Biography that tracks the 80-year career of Flash Gordon? Only, instead of tracing society's shifting tastes in authority figures, it instead contextualizes the spirit of athleticism over its eight-decade lifespan.
When Alex Raymond launched the comic strip in 1934, Flash was a polo player. Flash forward (heh heh) to the 1980 movie, and he's a quarterback for the New York Jets. During the '90s, the Flash Gordon animated series introduced the character as a skateboarding enthusiast; he's a track-and-field star in the Syfy series … which isn't exactly the coolest sport, but an appropriate one in a world that's become conscious of concussions and other injuries
Dynamite Entertainment's new Flash Gordon, written by Jeff Parker and illustrated by Evan Shaner and Jordie Bellaire, casts the title character as an extreme sports aficionado. It's a little out of date: Flash is introduced doing a dangerous bungee jump off a bridge, reminiscent of a similar scene in the Vin Diesel movie xXx (the most extreme spy, dude, way cooler than that lame-o James Bond). Still, it does establish something crucial about Flash: The world is far too tame for his wild, adventurous spirit. Flash gets a slap in the face and a stern, parental warning to stop with his childish garbage (one imagines the frequently bare-chested Alex Raymond Flash would have instead been applauded). Is there a place for him somewhere that isn't totally lame?

Legal | More details have emerged about Hirofumi Watanabe, the 36-year-old man suspected of sending more than 400 threatening letters to convention centers, retailers and other sites in Japan associated with the manga Kuroko's Basketball. The newspaper Mainichi Shimbun revealed Watanabe studied anime at a vocational school but dropped out at age 20. Also, a search of Watanabe's apartment turned up toilet bowl cleaner, a scrap of paper that said "creating hydrogen sulfide" and, not surprisingly, several volumes of Kuroko's Basketball.
Oddly, Watanabe claims to be two different perpetrators who use two different accents, standard Japanese and a Kansai accent, and many of the statements he made in his letters and online postings, including that he was acquainted with Kuroko's Basketball creator Tadatoshi Fujimaki, appear to be false. Anime News Network also reports that when he was arrested, Watanabe had about 20 threat letters in his backpack, and that he told police he was jealous of Fujimaki's success. [Anime News Network]

As promised, Justin Bieber has finally kicked off Music Mondays , dropping "Heartbreaker" at the stroke of midnight.
The R&B slow jam finds Bieber hoping to reignite the flame he had with former love. And, no matter how much she doesn't want to pick up the phone to hear his pleas, Bieber isn't ready to let her go. "Don't tell me you're my heartbreaker/ 'Cause girl my heart's breaking," he sings on the chorus. "Don't tell me you're my heartbreaker/ 'Cause girl my heart's breaking (heartbreaker)."
In case that didn't work, Bieber has a spoken word part mid-song: "So what I'm really tryin to say is, and what I hope you understand/ Is despite all the imperfections of who I am I still wanna be your man." That's when the song slows down a bit, breaking into a more mature structure than fans might be used to from the 19-year-old.
But diehard Beliebers probably expected it when he tweeted Monday night, "You will know my words, my heart. #journals."
You will know my words, my heart. #journals
— Justin Bieber (@justinbieber) October 7, 2013
Earlier this year, manager Scooter Braun told MTV News that Bieber's latest project, music journals , is a game changer.
"So we're hoping the witch hunt [is] gonna end when he really just speaks for himself in the music," he said. "And we're gonna do it in a way that's very, very unique, so when you see 'Heartbreaker,' know it's coming directly from him and don't think [of] the normal 'Oh this is my single and this is going to be on the album' [rollout], realize there's gonna be a very unique way of how this music is going to be released unlike we've seen before from him."
"Each week the songs get better #musicmondays," Bieber added. "maybe u might get lucky with two songs in a week."

Assume old eyeballs, if that makes a difference.
I have a JMI that I can upgrade to a two-stage focuser (at considerable cost). I'm wondering if it is worthwhile.
Visual use only, on a Dobsonian.
Is a two-stage focuser needed for an f/5 scope?

A bigger knob helps .
Posted 24 November 2012 - 09:05 AM
Not if observing at lower magnifications. However, if you want to get really fine focus at high magnification, such as when observing planets, then it really is nice to have, especially for older eyes. I also use big focus knobs on my f/8 Dob and it does help. Small knobs are a PITA no matter what the scope speed or type of focuser.

A cheaper option might be to use a helical fine focuser. However, I like 2 stage for all my scopes. Even makes my f/9.4 better.

The Chapel Hill Police Department will host its Community Police Academy beginning Tuesday April 5 and now is your chance to apply.
The Community Police Academy is a chance to get an "inside look" at the workings of the police department said Chapel Hill Police Lieutenant Josh Mecimore.
"It's a good opportunity to spend a few hours on two different days learning about the police department, meeting a lot of our police officers, finding out how we train, who we are, why we do the things we do," said Mecimore.
Participants will have the chance to do exercises that simulate real police scenarios, learn about arrest procedures and investigative policing over a two day period.
"On the Saturday you'll get to meet out K-9 units and then learn a lot of stuff about fair and impartial policing," said Mecimore.
Mecimore said the academy is a great opportunity to have a positive interaction with the police.
"I think it's a good opportunity for people to learn about us and not have it be like that five minute interaction you might have when you get stopped for a speeding ticket or something," said Mecimore.
Mecimore said they usually have about 30 participants and afterwards those participants often form a closer bond with the police department.
"We've had a lot of fun, I think most of them have enjoyed it. I've stayed in contact with quite a few, some of them regularly call to talk about things or to find out what's going on around the community," said Mecimore, "So it has been good for us and I hope it's been good for the people that went through it."
Anyone over to age of 16 is invited to participate. The application is open until Monday March 14.http://chapelboro.com/news/news-around-town/chpd-accepting-applications-for-community-academy
During March Madness, Chapel Hill Police have their hands full dealing with lots of alcohol-related offenses.
And every year, the police are well-prepared.
Chapel Hill's Alcohol Law Enforcement Response Team, known simply as ALERT, was out in force this past Friday night, issuing citations for various infractions.
Lt. Josh Mecimore, a spokesperson for the Chapel Hill Police Department, said it's typical for the ALERT team to be active around March Madness.
"It's a group of officers that will come together on busy weekends — game weekends – and then, sometimes, just random weekends for things like alcohol enforcement," said Mecimore.
Other special ALERT duties include responses to loud parties, and looking out for underage alcohol purchases at convenience stores.
On Friday, police focused their efforts downtown, within the central business district – West Rosemary, Church Street, and East Franklin Street, in particular.
"The majority were for things like underage possession, open container, and a couple of fraudulent uses of ID," said Mecimore. "One person was charged with misdemeanor possession of marijuana, and one person was charged with carrying a concealed handgun."
Mecimore added that finding concealed weapons is not common to this type of operation.
But it's not unheard-of, either. He said that sometimes, somebody may have informed an officer of a concealed weapon, but doesn't have a permit.
Mecimore said that ALERT operations are not necessarily related to just the university's calendar.
"We also to the same thing with the high school schedules," said Mecimore. "So, around prom and graduation, and some of the breaks that they take."
That, said Mecimore, is when the calls to respond to loud parties become more frequent.
Throughout the year, ALE liaison officers train local bartenders in responsible serving practices. That includes learning to spot a fake ID, and knowing when to cut someone off when they've had too much to drink.
Over-serving alcohol to a customer is a violation of state law.http://chapelboro.com/news/safety/chapel-hill-police-are-alert-to-march-madness-booze-violations
Police chiefs from Chapel Hill and Carrboro will meet with the local NAACP Saturday to answer questions about racial equity in Orange County policing.
The meeting follows up on forums held back in October, after citizens started asking questions about military gear and tactics used by local police departments all over the U.S.
Such issues were highlighted by unrest in Ferguson, MO. over the Aug. 9 death of unarmed black teenager Michael Brown, who was shot by Police Officer Darren Wilson. The officer was not charged in the incident.
Concerns over policing were also stirred by a New York Times article that shed light on the 1033 program of the Department of Defense.
The program supplies surplus military gear to local law enforcement agencies nationwide. Chapel Hill and Carrboro police have, at times, participated in the program, but did not receive high-powered weapons, according to both chiefs.
Chief Chris Blue of the Chapel Hill Police Department hosted a forum with citizens at the Chapel Hill Public Library on Oct 4.
Blue addressed concerns about low recruitment of African-American officers on his force by saying the CHPD had "not done a very good job" in that area, but he added that applications have been generally declining in recent years.
Two days later, Carrboro Police Chief Walter Horton held a similar forum at Town Hall. He admitted that he took exception to questions about racial profiling.
"We don't racially profile," said Horton. "To be honest with you, I kind of feel offended by that, because, being the first black chief – I know how it feels to grow up being a black male here. I've been walking, and had people cross the street. I've been in other places and looked at funny by the police. I know how that feels. So, I would not let that go on."
Both chiefs have attended Organizing Against Racism workshop training since holding their October forums.
Saturday's meeting of the Orange County NAACP and the police chiefs of Chapel Hill and Carrboro takes place at noon at the Rogers Road Community Center on 101 Edgar St. in Chapel Hill.http://chapelboro.com/news/news-around-town/police-chiefs-chapel-hill-carrboro-meet-naacp
An effort by local law enforcement to honor a former officer has prompted an outpouring of support from police officers across the country.
Officer Tom Mitchell was diagnosed with a brain tumor in 2011 and medically retired from the Chapel Hill Police Department after 16 years of service.
Friend and former colleague Officer Eric Dallin says the tumor has robbed Mitchell of his short-term memory, but not his love of the job.
"Tom suffers from some confusion sometimes," says Dallin. "He still believes he's in law enforcement, even though he has medically retired. He gets up and puts his uniform on to go to work, and his mother has to tell him, 'You have the day off.'"
This month, after several medical setbacks, Mitchell was placed into hospice care. His mother told friends and family Mitchell had one request.
"She asked him what he wanted for Christmas," says Dallin, "and he said he wanted 'the police department.' And of course, that kind of broke all of our hearts."
Dallin put out a statewide call to find a way to make Mitchell's wish come true.
"I thought to myself, how do we grant Tom the wish of giving him 'the police department' for Christmas?" says Dallin. "And, basically, we asked everybody in the state of North Carolina, all 100 counties, if they would share with Tom, something that is representative of the word 'family,' or something that represents their commitment to serving their communities."
He says the response has been overwhelming. The department has received everything from patches and badges to blankets, helmets, and handcuff keys.
As the donations continue to pour in, word has spread nationwide, prompting law enforcement officials from across the country to send in mementos for Officer Mitchell.
Dallin says the family is honored by the outpouring of love.
"They are just, really, honored and speechless," says Dallin. "There are just no words that can explain what that type of support means to a family that's really struggling with the things that the Mitchell family is struggling with."
Mitchell joined the Chapel Hill Police Department in 1995. Dallin was sworn in about two years later. He describes Mitchell as someone with a "giant heart," who's always among the first to make anyone feel welcome.
The police department is still collecting items, and Dallin says that officers will likely make multiple deliveries to the family in the coming days.http://chapelboro.com/news/news-around-town/chapel-hill-police-honor-officer-hospice-support-pours-nc
Chapel Hill police now say a man was struck by two cars during a September 29 hit and run incident.
23 year-old Joseph Russo was hit shortly after 3: 30 a.m. on Fordham Boulveard at East Lake Drive. He was taken to Duke Hospital with serious injuries.
Based on evidence collected at the scene, officials say one of the vehicles was a full-size pickup. The other was Subaru Legacy sedan, manufactured between 1995-1999. The sedan likely shows significant damage to the front passenger side.
Russo has been released from the hospital, though doctors say he faces a long road to recovery.
Anyone with information about the accident is asked to contact the Chapel Hill Police Department at (919) 968-2760 or CrimeStoppers at (919) 942-7515.http://chapelboro.com/news/crime/chapel-hill-police-seek-2-september-hit-run
The Chapel Hill Public Library was the target for thieves on Thursday.
Chapel Hill Police Sergeant Bryan Walker says the manner in which the crime was committed is unusual.
"Apparently someone overnight had actually removed glass from one of the doors," says Walker. "The glass and frame had been removed and was not broken."
Once the glass was removed someone stole an Apple computer estimated to be worth $2,000 from the library's teen center.
The crime was discovered by employees when the library opened on Thursday morning. Chapel Hill Police are still investigating the incident.http://chapelboro.com/news/crime/thieves-target-chapel-hill-public-library

Downtown Residents
The Town of Chapel Hill will make every effort to keep people who are attending the event from parking in your neighborhood. Access to your neighborhood will be limited by barricades and police personnel at the roads leading into your neighborhood. This will begin early in the evening.
Residents of the neighborhood will be able to drive in and out of the enclosed area. Tell the officer at the barricade where you live.
Your guests will also be able to enter and leave. They will need to tell the officer at the barricade exactly where they are going.
Illegally parked vehicles (even of residents, guests) will be ticketed and towed.
Traffic will be congested and getting past the barricades may be a slow process. We recommend that you plan accordingly.
Yard waste collection will be conducted as usual on Thursday, Oct. 31. Friday yard waste collections will be postponed to Friday, Nov. 8.
In response to public interest in police tactics, following recent events in Ferguson, MO, the Chapel Hill Police Department has released a list of SWAT operations dating back to 2002.
WCHL requested the list to include racial identities of suspects arrested in SWAT operations.
But Chief Chris Blue, who provided the list to WCHL, wrote in an email that he did not "have a report that captures all the demographics of arrestees in all these cases."
The reports shows that Chapel Hill Police carried out 83 SWAT operations between Jan. 14, 2002 and July 26, 2012.
One well-publicized incident occurred on Nov. 13, 2011, when a SWAT team removed protesters from the Yates Motor Co. building on Franklin Street.
Search warrants accounted for 67, or 80.7 percent of SWAT operations between 2002 and the summer of 2012.
Sixty-one of those warrants, or 91 percent, turned up drugs. Twenty, or 29.9 percent of search warrants, led police to weapons.
Seven out of 67 search warrants yielded neither weapons nor drugs.
Only one operation is listed as a "no-knock" raid. That occurred on Aug. 30, 2011, for an unspecified search warrant at 177 Ashley Forest Rd., Unit A.
Drugs and weapons were seized, and no one was injured.
There were no gun-related injuries listed throughout the report, and few injuries in general. In one instance, two officers were bitten by a pit bull.
In three buy/bust operations, suspects had drugs all three times, and weapons in two instances. Other operations included four-high-risk arrests; one hostage situation; clearing people from a building; and assisting in the protection of Vice President Joe Biden when he visited Chapel Hill in July 2010.
On Oct. 8, 2002, a SWAT team removed demonstrators from Rep. David Price's office on Fordham Boulevard. The sit-in was staged by protesters concerned about Price's position on the then-forthcoming Iraq War resolution.
Three people were arrested. A week later, Price voted against the resolution.http://chapelboro.com/news/crime/chapel-hill-pd-releases-swat-report
Chapel Hill Police say the investigation into a cyclist's recent death has come to a close and no charges will be filed against the driver in the incident.
On the morning of October 3, cyclist Pamela Lane was hit by a car near the intersection of Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard and Hillsborough Street. She was transported to UNC Hospitals where she later died.
Police say she was was traveling southbound on the eastern sidewalk of Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd and the car was exiting the parking lot of the Mobil station at the Hillsborough St. intersection at the time of the collision.
Lane was reportedly traveling against the flow of traffic when she was hit.http://chapelboro.com/news/safety/chpd-charges-filed-cyclist-death
Chief Chris Blue of the Chapel Hill Police assured citizens at a Saturday forum that his department was not weaponized by the Department of Defense.
"I am not a gun lover," Chapel Hill Police Chief Chris Blue told a group of citizens at Chapel Hill Public Library on Saturday afternoon. "I carry one for a living. I also respect your right to carry as many as you want, as long as that's legal to do that.
"But I will say this: I send men and women out into the street to encounter people who may have 50 of those 300 million guns in the back seat of their car."
On August 9, unarmed African-American teenager Michael Brown was shot to death in Ferguson Missouri by Police Officer Darren Wilson. The media images of police on the street in riot gear that followed sparked conversations all over the U.S. about the seeming militarization of law enforcement.
That concern was amplified after the New York Times published data about the federal 1033 program.
"This is the program the Department of Defense runs, to give local law enforcement folks surplus military equipment," he said. "Some of what you have seen on the news – huge armored personnel carriers, mine-resistant personnel carriers, tracked vehicles, you know, like tank-kind of tracks – the Department of Defense will give you that kind of stuff. We don't have any of that."
What the CHPD has, he added, is a 1985 Dodge armored vehicle that has never been used. It was parked outside the library on Saturday, for all to see, after the one-hour-and-22-minute forum was concluded.
According to Blue, the 1033 program also supplied his department boots, raincoats, and filing cabinets. But the department buys its own guns, he added.
The police chief made the point that U.S. citizens own about 300 million guns just like the ones brandished by police back in 2011, during the infamous Yates Motor Company incident.
On Nov. 13 of that year, a Chapel Hill SWAT team, armed with assault rifles and dressed in riot gear, forced Occupy protesters out of the Yates building off Franklin Street.
That incident was a public relations headache for the police department of a town with a progressive reputation; and where most of the reported offenses are property crimes.
"What we've done since Yates is that we've written a policy for our SWAT team," said Blue. "We've had a SWAT team since 1977. We got a policy written for them in 2012 – should've had one before."
Prior to that, he added, the SWAT team just had a list of procedures to follow.
Blue took questions toward the end of the forum. One person asked if there were enough African-American uniformed officers on patrol in Chapel Hill.
The chief quickly responded there were not, adding that the department had "not done a very good job" in that area of recruitment. He also pointed out that the applicant pool has been declining in general, over recent years.
There are 176 members of the Chapel Hill Police Department. One hundred thirty-one, or 74.4 percent, are white.
Forty black employees make up 22.7 percent of the force. There are four Hispanics, and one listed as "other."
Town Council Member Maria Palmer was in attendance, and she expressed concern about the mere handful of police officers that actually live in Chapel Hill. Palmer suggested subsidized housing for police officers and other public employees.
Blue was asked for demographic information about people stopped for searches, questioning and arrests. He directed citizens to the North Carolina Department of Justice website, where those records are available. He said the police department is working to make that information more easily accessible.
The chief also described the process of registering complaints about an officer's conduct. He said that all complaints end up on his desk, and that they are taken seriously.
Blue added there is also a citizens advisory board, although he admitted it had not been granted legal authority to review departmental actions by looking at personnel files.
As a last resort, Blue said, dissatisfied citizens can always go to the Town Council.
Most of the citizens in attendance at Saturday's forum were members of the Chapel Hill/ Carrboro NAACP, including its president. Minister Robert Campbell.
Blue accepted an invitation to make a presentation at the NAACP's meeting on the first Saturday in November.
A similar public forum with Chief Walter Horton of the Carrboro Police Department and other town officials is scheduled for tonight at 7, in the Town Hall Board Room.
Carrboro Town Hall is located at 301 W. Main St.http://chapelboro.com/news/safety/chapel-hill-chief-blue-forum

Arrogance much? – Minnesota congress-critter Keith Ellison is at again spewing his usual 'Big Brother' BS to anyone that will listen…and listen many do, unfortunately. – What he says should set your hair on fire, then again…maybe we're all getting used to this type of blather. Yet, we can't forget that what they've demanded via laws inflicted upon all of us will continue to cost us dearly…in one way or another! – But, but, but, they have a right…we have none! You'd better just hand over your money while they pick your pockets some more in one fashion or form, if you don't…they'll make you pay, they have many vessels to ensure that! – What country are we living in anymore…anyone?
Here's a well-stated, short summary of what he had to say. – See what you think:
Keith Ellison is a Democrat House of Representative politician and the first Muslim to be elected to Congress.
He also thinks that government has a right to people's money:
"The bottom line is we're not broke," Ellison said. "There's plenty of money, it's just the government doesn't have it."
"The government has a right, the government and the people of the United States have a right to run the programs of the United States," he continued "Health, welfare, housing – all these things."
Yes dear politicians – just dream up your wonky, shonky pie-in-the-sky policies and the people will come running with their wallets open to do your bidding, seeing as you, the great almighty government think you have the right to the money we earn with our hands and brain, all to pay for what you dream of implementing in exchange for votes to keep you in government.
Thanks for putting into words what we have always suspected – you're a bunch of out of touch, protected wankers who think you have the right to do what you like to us, the little people. Why not just take all our money and decide how best to give it back to us, like they did in the USSR?
Oh, I forget, that's already happening when we fund welfare programs for your voters….
Watch below, this only takes under a minute flat:
Side-note: Some of you may know about who Ellison is, along with plenty that support and back him. For those of you that don't much about him, I suggest doing a bit of quick research. – I will say this much, CAIR loves him!
Anyone think Ellison needs a cluebat to hit him a good one on the side of the head when it comes to the debt the US Govt. is in…'stuck on stupid' he is…you can bet he depends on the rest of the nation to be in the same mode too. Heck, come to think about, according to the last election – you fill in the blanks.
So, folks…do you have any message you want to send Keith, and those that think like him…hmm?
If so…Fire Away – Inquiring Minds Want to Know!

Shapeways: Bring your creativity to life in 3D http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php Shapeways: Bring your creativity to life in 3D Need help for possible commercial product (magic trick) http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=43192&th=8082#msg_43192 <![CDATA[Need help for possible commercial product (magic trick)

 I am looking for an affordable professional 3D CAD designer/engineer to help me create a molded thin plastic prototype for a possible commercial product sold to magicians. I want to see if my idea for a relatively simple "gimick" can be made a reality, and if successfully so, eventually market it as an inexpensively mass produced trick.

 Familiarity with 3D Printers is essential as I have never gone about doing something like this before (creating something in 3D, not magic marketing - for I have created & sold a successful trick in the past), and a little hand holding may be necessary to point me in the right directions to make the idea in my head a reality.

 I believe I will need it engineered on CAD in a format compatible with 3D printers. If you can show me some engineering design examples that shows designs you have done that have been modeled, it will make things a lot easier to pick someone that I think would work best.

 Once I narrow down those interested in the project, I can provide more details on exactly what I'm looking after signing a confidentiality agreement. I'm sure it won't be necessary, but the magic society as a whole is very secretive, and protective of their ideas. I hope you understand.

 I will say that I'm currently a struggling writer, so I can't spend a ton for this project. It should be relatively simple to do, so I'm hoping to get it done reasonably priced. I will say that it most likely will be fun to do, and if I do eventually market the trick, I would be more then willing to give a percentage of the profits for your help as well.

 Thank you for your time & consideration - I look forward to finding the perfect partner for this project.

[b]The program has doubled in size since 2008 and quadrupled since [/b]2001. Food stamps are one of nearly 80 means-tested federal welfare programs, including 17 for nutritional support. Collectively, these programs cost $700 billion annually, plus $200 billion in state contributions. From 2001 to 2006 the food stamp budget doubled, even as unemployment remained around five percent. Food stamps make up 80 percent of the current farm bill, costing $770 billion over the next 10 years. Food stamp spending is projected to remain permanently and significantly above pre-recession levels. Were food stamp spending returned to pre-recession (2007) levels, and increased at the rate of inflation, it would produce 10-year savings of $340 billion. The current farm bill calls for only $4 billion in savings. The rapid increase in assistance is remarkably similar to the rapid decrease in the ratio of workers to Social Security/Medicare recipients, and it's just as unsustainable. It's also a demonstration of how absurd the program has become. We are the wealthiest nation on Earth, and yet 1 in 7 Americans have to get food assistance? More than 40% of us don't pay federal income taxes, which means the burden of these costs fall on fewer and fewer Americans as well — about 4 in 7, if that. That kind of ratio will lead us to the same entitlement crunch we're already barreling toward with Social Security and Medicare http://hotair.com/archives/2012/06/27/sessions-food-stamp-programs-exploding-in-costs-size/ ---- So we have $770 billion dollars in food stamp programs alone, that's upwards of a trillion dollars in that one program alone. It's unsustainable. No way around that. Recipients have DOUBLED in size since Obama took office. Well, here we go for another 4 years. Will it double again? [/quote] Corporate welfare = MANY, MANY trillions. [/quote] Link???

Original Message
A lot of you people here on GLP seem to think people on welfare(the vets, the disabled, the old, people who make under 20k) are the problem. But there is no outrage or anger for the companies who make billions yet find ways to stick their hands in the pot. When you come one here and make threads about people who receive "handouts" when most of them actually need all the help they can get but fail to mention companies who exploit gov assistants you look like a bunch of selective problem solving hypocrite. How can you sit behind your screen and bash these people yet turn the other way at the real problem. Its like the cop who would rather chase down someone peeing in an ally instead of the guy mugging down the street.
We need to do better.
