All is Not Well as Futures Sink on Syria, U.S. Debt Debate
TheStreet) -- Stock futures were slumping Tuesday on concern the U.S. may strike Syria and amid worries that Congress will once again force a stalemate over the debt ceiling and a protracted debate over spending cuts. Futures for the S&P 500 were falling 11.75 points, or 11.98 points below fair value, to 1,642.5. Futures for the Dow Jones Industrial Average were declining 90 points, or 85.46 points below fair value, to 14,841. Futures for the Nasdaq were shedding 24.75 points, or 25.52 points below fair value, to 3,096.25.December gold futures were surging $25.10 to $1,418.20 an ounce as investors fled to safety assets. October crude oil futures were spiking by $2.51 to $108.43 a barrel on concerns that the conflict with Syria would result in the disruption of supplies. J.C. Penney (JCP - Get Report) shares were off by 1.35% to $13.17. Pershing Square Capital Management's Bill Ackman is selling his entire stake in J.C. Penney. The stake, about 18% of the struggling retailer's common stock, is worth about $526 million, based on J.C. Penney's closing stock price on Friday. J.C. Penney will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the shares. Major U.S. stock markets sharply dropped Monday after Secretary of State John Kerry said there was "undeniable" evidence that Syria had used chemical weapons, leaving investors to wonder whether the U.S. will take overt military action to unseat the Assad regime. U.S. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel told BBC that the U.S.-led forces would be "ready" to strike if President Barack Obama ordered an attack. Meanwhile allies of Syria including Russia and China have been warning against military intervention in the country warning of the devastating results for the region. Treasury Secretary Jack Lew's warning that the U.S. government could reach its debt limit by mid-October and that Congress should take some action about that soon also sent jitters through the markets. "Geopolitical risk is back to worry financial investors," while "the U.S. Treasury has started the roughly semi-annual debt ceiling dance with Congress," Paul Donovan, a London-based global economist at UBS, commented in a note.NEW YORK (

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Yes I see the same thing, I removed a movie and repopulated, the description disappeared. Although the description still exists in iTunes, I suspect this is an issue in the iTunes update rather than the Apple tv update.

Jurisprudens Mar 9, 2011 7:16 PM
in response to phoe66I too lost all my user meta data, though it still shows in iTunes. I had laboriously added descriptions when I digitized my DVD collection, with year, director and short descriptions. Now it's all gone and I can't find a way to get it back!
Anyone know how to solve this annoying problem?

Tell Apple so they can fix it.
William Shepherd Mar 9, 2011 8:33 PM
in response to Jon WalkerYes, please send feedback on this issue. It's really annoying and I can't believe it's intended behavior.
While you're there, also request that "Episode ID" be displayed on ATV.
P.S. I've noticed that if the Episode Description is the same for every episode in a season, the description will display on ATV.
jwilliams0523 Mar 9, 2011 8:41 PM
in response to phoe66I'm having a similar problem. When I go to play a movie for my children and go to the Children's Genre under movies. It shows only 145 movies which is right but when I open it everything from songs, tv shows, and movies show up. Not children genre either. It had Airplane the movie, Nirvana, Say Anything, along with all my kids movies but I don't know how to fix it. The count under the genre title is right it's only after opening that it displays everything.
Alohajoe5 Mar 9, 2011 11:01 PM
in response to jwilliams0523I'm having the same problem. All of the video metadata is gone on all self-entered videos or songs. I contacted apple to report a problem but I can't believe that this is something intended. Hopefuly they will correct this very...very...very soon.
BlackMeister Mar 10, 2011 5:32 AM
in response to Alohajoe5Hi guys,
Had the same issue and would you believe just did all the description updating last night before the SW update using: iFlicks, MetaX and cut and paste from IMBD....then updated about 02:00 to find the descriptions all missing again!! (I say all, randomly a few remained that were original MP4 and one .mov)
Anyway I now have all my descriptions back on Apple TV 2!!
I just used iFlicks and the the "Automatically Update Metadata of Selected" in iTunes ran it and one by one the descriptions are showing up in Apple tv (they never disappeared from iTunes). Admittedly this only works for descriptions that are pulled of the internet. I haven't tried editing them yet to see what happens.
Hope this helps some of you. iFlicks gives a free 14 trial with full use. The only issue I had with iFlicks initially was it chose low res pics, but now it seems it is not overwriting my high res pics....I hope!
hypnicol Mar 10, 2011 9:17 AM
in response to jwilliams0523i have had this exact same problem. when i enter the childrens genre i get my entire itunes collection - songs, films, tv shows etc. i changed the genre title to kids and even the names of my kids but it didnt solve the problem. i even completely restored my apple tv2 !!
spiderguy84 Mar 10, 2011 12:43 PM
in response to hypnicolI think I fixed this issue. It seems to me that the Apple TV can't handle certain characters after the update. Try going to iTunes and changing the kid's genre to kids genre, just remove the apostrophe altogether. I did this, and it worked fine.
William Shepherd Mar 10, 2011 1:34 PM
in response to phoe66This is even weirder than I thought. My movie descriptions appear, except for those which were labelled "Unwatched." TV descriptions don't appear, except for cases where all the episodes contained the same descriptions. My genres seem intact; it's just the descriptions that are the problem.
Again, everyone please leave feedback about their metadata problems at www.apple.com/feedback; complaining on this forum won't get it fixed.
bazzaro Mar 10, 2011 2:31 PM
in response to Winston ChurchillThis is definetlly a Apple TV Issue. I had my iTunes updated two days before updating the Apple TV and the descriptions showed fine. As soon as I updated the Apple TV meta data issues. I filed a complaint to the apple feedback, everyone else please do the same.
If this isn't fixed I will be really upset.
mmarionsd1 Mar 10, 2011 3:24 PM
in response to phoe66Chaulk me up as another who lost descriptions from my tons of movies and tv shows I added myself and spent all the time adding metadata to. The date, title and genre seem to be there just not descriptions. Neither in the movie/show list nor when playing and hitting up twice.
Already reported via feedback,
Was hoping update would give back old grouped listings too. Alas, no dice.
William Shepherd Mar 10, 2011 4:29 PM
in response to phoe66Just to be clear: we're all talking about metadata that is still in iTunes but won't show up in Apple TV, right?
We haven't actually lost any metadata, we just can't see it where it appeared before the update.
I just added a new movie to iTunes, and no, the description I entered does not appear on Apple TV. Cast, director, producer & length all appear, but no description. (Also no Date, but that has never been up there - I don't know why not, as it's rather essential information - perhaps someone who has not yet left feedback can add this to their complaint).
Alley_Cat Mar 10, 2011 7:55 PM
in response to Winston ChurchillSeeing this on iTunes 10.1.2 so I don't think it's iTunes.

To the Editor.—
The occasional association of von Recklinghausen's disease (VRD) with visceral tumors, such as neurofibromas, meningiomas, gliomas, and pheochromocytomas, is well documented1; however, its association with gastrointestinal (GI) carcinoids is limited to only a few case reports.1,2 The purpose of this letter is to document further this association.
Report of a Case.—
A 53-year-old woman with VRD since adolescence was admitted to the hospital for right-sided upperquadrant abdominal pain of 24 hours' duration. Physical examination showed several fleshy pedunculated cutaneous tumors, café-au-lait skin lesions, and a right-sided peroneal palsy. Moderate right-sided upper quadrant abdominal tenderness and guarding were observed. Total serum bilirubin value was 1.9 mg/dL (normal, 0.2 to 1.0 mg/dL) and serum alkaline phosphatase value, 129 units mU/ mL (normal, 30 to 105 mU/mL). Both ultrasonography and an upper GI series examination demonstrated a small tumorlike lesion in the second portion of the duodenum. Exploratory

Rebekkah Barrow never forgot the tender attention her grandmother, Maylene, bestowed upon the dead of Claysville, the town where Bek spent her adolescence. Now Maylene is dead and Bek must go back to the place, and the man, she left a decade ago. But what she soon discovers is that Maylene was murdered and that there was good reason for her odd traditions. It turns out that in placid Claysville, the worlds of the living and the dead are dangerously connected.

Downsizing may be appealing, but consider these first

"Today was all about the Fed decision, which funny enough is
tomorrow," mused Schaeffer's Senior Technical Strategist Ryan
Detrick, CMT. "Nothing much happened, though, and volume was rather
light. In other words, nobody wanted to rock the boat too much
ahead of tomorrow's Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) update.
The reality is that this is a very bullish time of year, and we all
know that. The last thing standing in the way of a strong year-end
rally is the Fed. Will the central bank rock the boat and announce
a taper? I don't expect them to taper until at least March, but
we'll have to tune in tomorrow to see for sure." Against this
backdrop, the
Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJI)
finished slightly south of breakeven.
Continue reading for more on today's market, including
Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJI - 15,875.26)
spent most of the day in the red, and finished the session 9.3
points, or roughly 0.1%, lower. The blue-chip barometer's nine
advancers were led by 3M Co's (
) 2.9% gain, while a 1.5% decline for Verizon Communications Inc. (
) paced the 21 laggards.
S&P 500 Index (SPX - 1,781.00)
was also parked in negative territory throughout the session, and
shed 5.5 points, or 0.3%, by the close. Meanwhile, the
Nasdaq Composite (COMP - 4,023.68)
dropped 5.8 points, or 0.1%, on the day.
Elsewhere, the
CBOE Volatility Index (VIX - 16.21)
reached an intraday high of 16.67 around 11:30 a.m. ET, but pared
its gains in the afternoon hours to end 0.2 point, or 1.1%,
A Trader's Take
"It was a nice change to catch our breath before tomorrow's
fireworks," Detrick continued. "The big thing grabbing our
attention is the action in the VIX. It has really spiked recently,
and the reason is that some traders are antsy ahead of the Fed.
This, of course, reminds us of last year, when the VIX moved higher
during December's fiscal cliff drama. Then, once that was out of
the way, all of the worry translated into buying pressure. Should
the Fed not rock the boat too much tomorrow, there is more than
enough worry out there to provide a nice end-of-the-year bounce

Crude futures edged lower today, despite expectations for a
weekly decline in oil supplies. By the time the dust settled, the
January contract shaved off 26 cents, or 0.3%, to finish at
$97.22 per barrel.
Meanwhile, gold futures also faltered, as anxieties over
whether the Fed will announce plans to taper its asset-buying
program dragged the malleable metal lower. February-dated gold
shed $14.30, or 1.2%, to finish at $1,230.10 an ounce.

The North Carolina Department of Insurance Office of State Fire Marshal is implementing an updated fire incident reporting system in 2016. This is being implemented at no cost to North Carolina Fire Departments.
Departments who are using third party software for NFIRS reporting may continue to do so by following exporting instructions provided by OSFM.
Departments who are using the USFA Data Entry/Online Reporting Tools will be required to switch to the Fire Bridge software by December 31, 2016.
The Fire Bridge internet based software is also available for NC Departments to use at no cost. Fire Bridge is a comprehensive NFIRS 5.0 compliant records system with tools available to support your department's operations, including staff and training information, inventory management, occupancy, preplans, hydrant location mapping and the fire inspections module. Fire Bridge is also scalable for the needs of entities requiring investigations or multiple-department reporting.
Fire departments can use tools listed below:
To see and "test" the software you may access their demo site @ https://demo.rescuebridge.com
Username: ncfire
Password: Welcome2
Recent changes in Administrative Code now requires all departments be NFIRS compliant in order to pass the fire department ratings inspection. Non compliance can result in the department being placed on probation for a period of time and further non compliance can result in the department failing their ratings inspection.

Militant rise galvanizes Assad's camp in Syria war
DAMACUS, Syria – Ahmed Luay's second-eldest son, a soldier in the Syrian army, fell in battle with rebels just over a month ago. Three more of his sons are still on the front lines in the Damascus suburbs. Luay insists he's prepared to sacrifice them all in what he says is a war against a terrorist invasion.

-4xx12amanxx , May 21, 2008 6:01 AMVERY INTERESTING...
5custommadename , May 21, 2008 7:21 AMPeople can still play games with this quad core. Sure, it's not as fast as a quad core from Intel, but it's evidently more than suitable to handle today's games. However, for about $200 it's a horrible value.
-1Anonymous , May 21, 2008 7:26 AMJust a quick question... at 1.8GHz is this chip even competitive with a higher speed dual core (even when considering 4 core vs 2 and considering multi-core optimized applications)?
It'd be interesting to add in a Intel mid to high range dual core and look at the power consumption and performance vs the relatively low clocked quad. Dropping the clockspeed so low would seem to give back most of the games from having 2 extra cores (and would be worse for SW that cannot use 4 cores).
1JSP78 , May 21, 2008 7:41 AMIm an Q9450 owner and to just drop the multipler on the QX9770 and use the same vid isent fair.
My Q9450 VID = 1.1v, EIST drops VID to 1.0375v
C1 stepping, slawr l806a762
I bet thats gonna make it hard for the phenom to beat
2thuan , May 21, 2008 8:25 AMPage 12 title is wrong. It's 9.8% not 8.8%. Just mention it, as it seems no one's noticed it yet.
-1royalcrown , May 21, 2008 11:02 AMThis just goes to show how crappy "Barceloney" really is.
Consider the fact that one can buy an e8400 or 8500 which uses the same power, can keep up with AMD's quad cores (even when they are over clocked), and also DESTROY this thing at gaming. WHY exactly would I buy this piece of crap again Frank ?!?!
I guess if I ran Cinebench benchmarks all day and did NOTHING else, then this cpu would look good.
People that buy quad cores are not going to care about 35 watts, they want to brag about speed OR get their work done ASAP, and AMD is crap for that right now !
-1Reynod , May 21, 2008 11:09 AMAn excellent review Frank ... well done.
Very impartial ... showing the strength's and weaknesses of the low power unit.
The overclocking limit of 2.4 would be interesting to explore further.
Can you elaborate on what settings you went to ... and the HTT frequency please?

0OMA , May 21, 2008 11:55 AMWhy did you underclock the l3 cache and memory controller? The ht link is ment to be overclocked, not underclocked! L3 runs the same speed as ht link not 2,4 ghz. Slow L3 is a big bottleneck in games.
2skittle , May 21, 2008 12:23 PMcomparing power consumption of a 1.8ghz phenom with a stock q6600 and touting the phenom as the power consumption king is a very inaccurate conclusion. The articles here just keep getting worse and worse... seriously who hires these clowns?
2sandmanwn , May 21, 2008 12:26 PMQuote:Its performance is perfectly adequate for office work and entertainment, though not for games.
I hope that statement was intended for this particular CPU only, or the fanboyism of this site just went up 10 notches to ludicrous stupidity.
1royalcrown , May 21, 2008 12:53 PMskittles, even if it is accurate, so what because INTEL could just under clock the q6600 and draw 65 watts to, but the performance would suck also.They're just pushing efficiency because AMD is getting destroyed on the performance front and there is no real news right now on any performance oriented front.
3Anonymous , May 21, 2008 1:19 PMThe real point of this (chip and article) is twofold:
1, If you're really going to run multithreaded apps 24/7 (or not much less) this processor is really perfect. This points to the fact, that K10 was really made for server segment: it is scaling very well in multisocked configurations, and at lower clocks it is very energy-efficient.
2, The biggest deficiency of the current dekstop Phenoms is that they are way too power-hungry. Maybe the SOI is to blame, as I've read the SOI process has a frequency tipping point after which the dissipation grows tremendously. Anyway, the situation seems curable, as this 9100e can be clocked to perform on par with 9750 yet consuming substantially less. That brings some hope for AMD.
-5royalcrown , May 21, 2008 1:33 PM@Rachotilko
Uh what about the fact that they SUCK (x4's) ?! This architecture is AMD's version of Netburst. This design sucks no matter how you try to spin it; here is hoping the next cores from AMD fare better. Where is the advantage in buying this piece of junk ? Maybe if I had a bank of servers, maybe...as far as any real desktop apps go, I'd be just as well of going core 2 duo as I would on this thing, winning in one benchmark doesn't impress me because I do lots of things with my desktop.
0Mathos , May 21, 2008 2:25 PMEh, 9100e still has at least one ace up it's sleeve. If you use bios 1.2 with that chip, you can lower the VID on the northbridge/IMC and it will cut the Load and Idle power a lot. Depending on what it's stock set at, there should be plenty of room to lower it and still keep it stable. My 9600 BE was doing 2.4ghz on the NB at the stock VID, and could easily do 2ghz on the nb at 1.1v VID, stable. Only problem is, changing the VID I dont know if C&Q will still work. Still the biggest issue with Phenom Power consumption is the IMC, until they make it throttle or lower voltages like the rest of the chip.
0apaige , May 21, 2008 2:39 PMAny chance on finally getting your Sandra memory bandwidth benchmarks straight?
0qasdfdsaq , May 21, 2008 2:55 PMI don't see the significance of a 65W Phenom running at 1.8Ghz. Intel has already announced their QX9300, a 35W TDP Core 2 Quad running at 2.53Ghz:
Even if AMD have a slight lead now, they will be totally raped come Q3/08.
0etstech , May 21, 2008 4:03 PMAccording to Intel, they have a Quad-core Xeon with a rated TDP of 50W.
1wild9 , May 21, 2008 4:43 PMI think AMD is even more efficient than most tests claim; the memory controller is intergradted into the processor and not the Northbridge part of a motherboard's chipset. Extra traffic and external components running on 65nm (or higher) chipsets is surely to add to the power consumption of all Intel processors especially when dealing data storage facilities or super-computers.
1jckrieger , May 21, 2008 6:27 PMI'm not sure about this article. From the benchmarks, it looks like this cpu is slower and consumes more power than a Q6600 which is Intel's old 65nm cpu. Performance per dollar and performance per watt still seems to lean in Intel's favor. The only thing I see worth mentioning in this article is AMD released the world's slowest quad core that still costs as much as a respectable Q6600. As the others pointed out, if you don't need performance, get a reasonably clocked dual core and keep general application performance at a higher level.

Mad Man Blues (1986)
Not A Rebirth, But A Solid Set Nonetheless
It wasn't easy being a stateside Dr. Feelgood fan. Their trio of great releases, Down By The Jetty, Malpractice and Sneakin' Suspicion, were righteous, pre-punk blasts of working class pub rock, circa 1975-1977. But then… punk came along, goose-steppin' all over the band's stylistic turf of stripped and edgy rock and roll. One year, the Feelgoods were this fresh, energetic new thing. One year later, punk made it all seem tame. Go figure. After Wilko Johnson split in '77, the group's footprint in America became almost non-existent, as Sneakin' Suspicion would be their last released in the USA. Lead vocalist Lee Brilleaux, just like the working man he plays on TV, devoted all his energies to the Feelgood's live shows, releasing numerous live albums up until his death in 1994. Here's a great, under-the-radar example from 1986. A raw, rigid collection of oldies and blues numbers given the Feelgood's distinct 4/4 rhythms and Brilleaux's pub crawling shout. No substitute for the mid-70s, of course, but a solid resurgence for Brilleaux's lifelong baby. Keep an eye out for Oil City Confidential, the excellent documentary on the band. Amazon.

Respond to Review of CLOSED: Cigkofteci Orbay
by judgecal
Review: We trekked to visit this outlet and were disappointed to find it's basically a hole in the wall style kabin selling fruit and veg, no seating of any kind. Save yourself the effort and head for the Salad Station if you want vegan food in a hurry. Deserves zero rather than the minimum of 2 stars I've been forced to give it by the site.

TCL > June 2001 Issue > 2000 Annual Report
Introduction and Overview
The following report details the Colorado Commission on Judicial Discipline's ("Commission") background and report of activities for calendar year 2000.
Colorado's first disciplinary commission for judges was created in 1966, when Colorado voters approved an amendment to the state constitution that replaced the political process of electing judges with a system based on merit selection, appointment, and retention. At the time Colorado's Commission was created, only five other states had disciplinary commissions to supplement impeachment as the traditional method for disciplining or removing judges. Today, all fifty states and the District of Columbia have these types of judicial disciplinary bodies.
Colorado's voters amended the constitutional provisions affecting the Commission in 1982, making changes to the Commission's procedures and membership. The Commission's name was changed from the "Colorado Commission on Judicial Qualifications" to the "Colorado Commission on Judicial Discipline." The Commission's membership also was expanded to include more citizen members.
Today, the Commission consists of ten members. These members include: four citizen members, who cannot be judges or attorneys, appointed by the Governor; two attorneys, each having practiced law for at least ten years in Colorado, appointed by the Governor; and, two district court judges and two county court judges appointed by the Colorado Supreme Court. Appointments made by the Governor require confirmation by the Colorado State Senate. While Commission members serve four-year terms without salary, they do receive reimbursement for actual and necessary expenses in their conduct of Commission business.
At the close of 2000, the Commission membership included:
While the Commission operates independently, it is housed within the judicial branch of government. Its procedural rules are approved by the Colorado Supreme Court and its operating budget is approved and provided by the Colorado State Legislature.
Commission Responsibilities and Powers
The Commission has constitutional jurisdiction to investigate and act upon allegations of a judge's:
Misconduct involving a violation of criminal laws also may fall within the Commission's jurisdiction, although the Colorado Supreme Court can take action directly to suspend or remove a state judge charged or convicted of a misdemeanor, felony, or offense involving moral turpitude.
The Commission has jurisdiction over the conduct of the 280 justices, judges, and senior judges who serve the Colorado state court system. It does not have jurisdiction over magistrates, the 17 county court judges in Denver, or the more than 300 full-time and part-time municipal court judges serving on the bench in cities and towns throughout the state of Colorado.
Local municipalities approach judicial discipline in different ways. While complaints against judges in most cities must go directly to the city council or mayor, the City and County of Denver has a separate Denver County Court Judicial Performance Commission to handle complaints against its county court judges and magistrates. The City of Lakewood has a Judicial Review Commission that considers complaints against its municipal court judges.
Commission Process and Procedures
Any person may file a complaint against a judge by completing forms provided by the Commission or by writing a letter addressed to the Commission. It is the policy of the Commission to accept and review all complaints filed, even if such complaints relate solely to a complainant's disagreement with a decision or order a judge may have entered in that person's court case. The Commission also may commence investigations on its own motion without receipt of a written complaint.
Complaints are reviewed by the Commission's staff and, if the complaint falls within the jurisdiction of the Commission, by the Commission itself during its regularly-scheduled meetings. The Commission also holds special meetings, hearings, and telephone conferences, as needed, throughout the year.
Some complaints are dismissed following staff review or following initial review and evaluation by the Commission because the complaints do not fall within the jurisdiction granted to the Commission by the Colorado Constitution. As previously stated, for example, the Commission must dismiss any complaint pertaining to a judge's rulings or orders in a person's court case. These types of issues can be reviewed only through the appellate process.
If a complaint is dismissed following this initial review, the judge is not notified of the complaint. If the Commission determines that further investigation is warranted, the judge is informed of the complaint and told the name of the complainant, or the judge is told that the Commission is proceeding on its own motion. The Commission provides the judge with an opportunity to respond to the complaint and to present additional information that may assist the Commission in its investigation of the matter.
Preliminary investigations may include: reviewing court records and transcripts; obtaining statements from the complainant, attorneys who may have been involved, other judges, court staff, or other persons who may have some knowledge or information relating to the allegations contained in the complaint; or conducting legal research into the substantive areas of the alleged misconduct. The Commission's staff screens all complaints and conducts all preliminary reviews and investigations.
Following the preliminary investigation, the Commission may dismiss the complaint; continue it for further action, investigation, or review; issue a private admonition, reprimand, or censure to the respondent-judge, either in writing or in person; order a physical or mental examination of the judge; or order the judge to undergo a specific remedial program, such as an educational, court management, or counseling program. The Commission also may begin a formal action against a judge. In each case, the complainant is fully informed, in writing, about each stage of the Commission's decision-making process.
A formal action is commenced when the Commission hires an outside attorney to act as its special counsel in formal proceedings against a judge. The special counsel investigates the matter further; prepares a written statement of charges; files it with the Commission; and, after the judge has had an opportunity to respond to these charges, a formal hearing is scheduled. The special counsel and the judge, together with the judge's attorney, if the judge has retained one, are present at all formal hearings before the entire Commission.
After hearing all of the evidence and argument, the Commission may dismiss the complaint; take any of the informal actions described above; or recommend to the Colorado Supreme Court that the respondent-judge be removed, retired, censured, reprimanded, or otherwise publicly disciplined.
All matters before the Commission are handled in the strictest of confidence pursuant to constitutional requirements (Article VI, § 23(3)(g), Colorado Constitution, and §§ 24-72-401 and 402, Colorado Revised Statutes).
While requests for the disqualification of a judge, in a matter pending before that judge, are not granted automatically, the Commission does have the authority to disqualify a judge under certain circumstances.
Complaints against judges who are members of the Commission are automatically disclosed to them, and they must respond to all complaints, whether frivolous or not. Judge-member commissioners do not participate in any discussions or decisions involving complaints against them.
Judge-member commissioners who sit on the bench in the same judicial district as a judge against whom a complaint is filed are automatically disqualified from participating in that case. Judge-member commissioners also are disqualified from participating in a complaint if they are a friend of the respondent-judge or if, for any other reason, their participation in that judge's case may raise an appearance of impropriety.
Citizen-member and attorney-member commissioners also are disqualified if they live in the same judicial district as the respondent-judge, if they are friends of that judge, or if, for any other reason, their participation in that judge's case may raise an appearance of impropriety.
2000 Caseload Description
During the year 2000, the Commission responded to over 2,200 telephone calls or personal visits to its offices, either to answer questions about the Commission's role and responsibilities, or to direct individuals to proper agencies or offices that could address their questions or concerns. The Commission also distributed a total of 560 complaint forms.
At the close of 2000, the Commission had received and processed a total of 209 new complaints. When considering the total number of complaints received and processed during 2000, the Commission's caseload in 2000 was up approximately 46 percent when compared to 1999. This numerical increase is attributed to the receipt of several complaints pertaining to appellate matters, over which, as discussed above, the Commission has no jurisdiction.
It is important to note that 76 percent of the 209 complaints filed during the year 2000, i.e., 159 complaints, came from individuals incarcerated in state correctional facilities. These complainants generally alleged that they were unhappy with the rulings and decisions made by judges that led to their placement in these facilities. In addition, 70 of the 159 complaints were filed against each of the seven members of the Colorado Supreme Court by ten inmates who were incarcerated in a private correctional facility in Colorado. These ten inmates had been transferred to Colorado from another state. They alleged that the Colorado Supreme Court had violated their individual rights because these inmates were being held "against their will" in Colorado. They requested that the Commission release them immediately. These complaints were dismissed since they dealt solely with appellate matters that were outside the jurisdiction of the Commission (see Table 5).
In actuality, during 2000, the number of substantive complaints meriting Commission review and action was lower in 2000 compared to 1999. As explained in greater detail below, this decrease in Commission action can be attributed in part to an intensive judicial ethics training and advising program for all judges continued by the Commission during 2000. It also reflects the Commission's proactive role in educating the general public on the role and responsibility of the Commission in addressing concerns about the conduct of Colorado's judges.
At the close of 2000, the Commission had processed to completion 207 of the 209 cases that it had received during the year. It carried over two cases into the year 2001. In 2000, corrective action was taken against one judge out of the total 207 complaint/case dispositions. In addition, two judges were retired from office for medical disabilities by order of the Colorado Supreme Court.
2000 Case Attributes
Type of Judge
Of the total 207 cases disposed of during 2000, complaints filed involved 82 of the 280 judges at all levels of the Colorado state judicial system. In other words, some judges had more than one complaint filed against them during the course of the year.
These 280 judges include: 120 district court judges; 101 county court judges; 36 senior judges; and 23 appellate court judges.
As indicated in Table 1, slightly less than half, or 46 percent, of all complaints filed were against district court judges. Approximately one-third, or 35 percent, of all complaints filed were against members of the Colorado Supreme Court or the Colorado Court of Appeals. The complaints against the members of the Colorado Supreme Court are explained above.
Case Type
In 2000, types of cases giving rise to complaints were weighted toward criminal matters. As indicated in Table 2, 85 percent of all complaints filed involved criminal proceedings.
Subject Matter of Complaints
During 2000, the subject matter of complaints dealt primarily with a complainant's dissatisfaction with a judge's legal rulings in his or her court case. As Table 3 indicates, a total of 204, or 97 percent, of all complaints filed, came from individuals who expressed dissatisfaction with the judge's legal rulings. As explained above, the Commission is not an appellate court and does not have the authority to review the substantive legal or factual issues involved in a judge's rulings. Therefore, these cases were dismissed.
Type of Complainant
During 2000, there were several categories of complainants. Table 4 details the categories of these complainants. The vast majority of complainants, 95 percent, were individuals who were directly involved as litigants in cases in which the respondent-judge presided. As noted above, during 2000, a very large number, 159 of the 209 complaints filed, came from individuals incarcerated in state correctional facilities.
Complaints Filed by Judicial District
Complaints filed by judicial district are reported in Table 5. After each judicial district, the number of judges serving in that district is listed in parenthesis. As might be expected, the larger the district (in terms of number of judges and caseload), the greater the number of complaints filed. For example, the five judicial districts encompassing the Denver metropolitan area (1st, 2nd, 17th, 18th, and 20th Judicial Districts) accounted for approximately 26 percent of all complaints filed. Thirty-four percent of all complaints were filed against members of the Colorado Supreme Court. During 2000, no complaints were filed against judges in the 14th, 19th, and 22nd Judicial Districts.
Commission Action
During Commission review of the 209 new cases received during 2000, the Commission resolved 207 of the 209 complaints filed.
As Table 6 indicates, the Commission requested responses from judges in five of the cases. Further, in addition to reviewing and screening all 209 cases, the Commission requested that its staff investigate five complaints in greater detail (see Table 7).
Commission Complaint Disposition
The disposition of complaints and the Commission's cumulative workload for the last three years are shown in Table 8. Of the 207 cases processed to completion during 2000, 204 cases were dismissed following Commission review. Of these dismissals, approximately 12 percent (24 of 204 cases) were dismissed based on a finding of "no misconduct" after Commission review. More significantly, 180 of the 204 cases, or 88 percent, were found to be "appellate in nature" and, therefore, outside the legal jurisdiction of the Commission.
A total of one case resulted in corrective action being taken against the respondent-judge. In that case, the Commission determined that there was judicial misconduct and issued a private letter of censure to the respondent-judge.
In two cases, the respondent-judges were retired for medical disabilities by order of the Colorado Supreme Court.
Cumulative Overview
As a result of the Commission's work over the past 34 years, 23 judges have been ordered retired for a disability, and the Commission has issued 160 private letters of admonition, reprimand, or censure against judges. The Colorado Supreme Court has issued one public reprimand against a judge.
Although not necessarily reflected in the statistics, 43 judges have resigned or retired during or following Commission investigations. The Commission emphasizes, however, that many judges resign or retire from the Colorado judicial system each year for reasons completely unrelated to the disciplinary activities of the Commission.
Sample Cases
The Commission is often asked to describe types of misconduct it considers to be serious enough to merit disciplinary action. Some examples of judicial misconduct that have required action by the Commission over the past few years are highlighted below. As used here, an admonition is a private letter of discipline issued to a respondent-judge providing a warning that his or her conduct suggests an appearance of impropriety falling outside the expected minimum standards of judicial conduct.
Letters of reprimand or censure also are private. These letters inform the respondent-judge that the Commission has determined that there has been a direct violation of the Canons of the Colorado Code of Judicial Conduct and, further, that such conduct is unacceptable. In reaching these types of disciplinary findings, the Commission determines that the misconduct, while serious, does not merit a formal hearing or recommendation to the Colorado Supreme Court that the respondent-judge be publicly disciplined or removed from office.
As examples, over the past few years, the Commission has issued private letters of discipline to judges who:
In several of the cases cited above, the level of discipline imposed by the Commission was related to the respondent-judge's decision to retire or resign prior to the Commission's initiation or conclusion of formal proceedings against that judge.
Beginning in 1992 and continuing through 2000, the Commission undertook a proactive educational program to inform new and continuing judges of their ethical duties and responsibilities under the eight Canons of the Colorado Code of Judicial Conduct. The Commission concluded that this type of proactive educational program demonstrated positive results, particularly by contributing to a smaller number of substantive complaints being filed against judges, and a smaller number of corrective actions having to be taken against judges, since 1992, as compared with earlier years.
In addition, in July 1994, based on the recommendation of the Commission, the Colorado Supreme Court, through Chief Justice Directive 94-01 (amended in 2000), announced the creation of, and promulgated procedural rules for, the Colorado Judicial Ethics Advisory Board.
This board provides ethical advice and guidance to Colorado's state judges and magistrates and complements the educational programs undertaken by the Commission. The board is comprised of five members, with the Commission's executive director and general counsel serving as the board's reporter and chief ethics advisor. During 2000, this board provided informal ethical advice to 88 judges seeking the board's guidance.
In addition to its oversight and educational activities, the Commission also provided reminders to judges concerning their conduct and activities that appeared to place them in danger of violating the Canons of the Colorado Code of Judicial Conduct; made suggestions to judges concerning the overall management of their dockets; referred matters to other agencies or departments for resolution of problems outside of the jurisdiction of the Commission; and aided in the administrative resolution of several matters.
During the year 2000, the Commission's overall workload increased approximately 46 percent when compared with that of 1999. However, this increase was based on 70 complaints filed by ten inmates incarcerated in a private correctional facility against each of the seven members of the Colorado Supreme Court. If these 70 complaints were not counted, the workload for 2000 would have been comparable to that of 1999.
When considering total corrective actions taken against respondent-judges during 2000, as a percentage of total complaint/case dispositions, the number of corrective actions taken against Colorado state judges in 2000 was the same as 1999.
Although much of the Commission's work is not completely open to the public because of constitutional confidentiality limitations, every effort is made to act in the public's interest while safeguarding individual rights and reputations from unfounded allegations of misconduct. The Commission's performance over the past 34 years suggests that it has succeeded in improving and strengthening Colorado's judicial system while carrying out its public responsibilities.
The Commission performs a vital role in maintaining a fair and impartial judiciary. Since the judicial selection, retention, and tenure system is based on merit selection, rather than political election, the Commission serves to maintain the balance between independence and accountability in the judiciary.
For additional information about the Commission, its role and responsibilities, please write to: Rick Wehmhoefer, Executive Director and General Counsel, Colorado Commission on Judicial Discipline, 899 Logan Street, Suite 307, Denver, Colorado 80203; or call him in Denver at (303) 894-2110.

Suz Weldon racing for Wines of Washington and sponsored by Team Bike Hugge takes 2nd in the time trial at Mt Hood.
Velonews reports on Mt Hood and includes a photo of Suz Weldon. Suz races for Wines of Washington and is sponsored by Team Bike Hugger. Photo Credit Kurt Jambretz/Action Images
A person operating a bicycle or human-powered vehicle approaching a steady red traffic control light shall stop before entering the inter-section, and shall yield to all other traffic. Once the person has yielded, he may proceed through the steady red light with caution. Provided however, that a person after slowing to a reasonable speed and yielding the right-of-way if required may cautiously make a right-hand turn."
This is brilliant. There are plenty of bike folk who behave as though this is the law in Seattle (I noted a couple of blatant red-light-runners on my way in this morning). As much as I hate stopping and waiting, it's the law where I live. In Idaho they have it figured out: Treat all red-lights as Yields. No complete stop necessary, no waiting. Sure, if there's traffic you wait, but how much quicker would your commute be if you never had to wait at an empty red light. Time to write my congressman. At 180lb some seriously wasted momentum!
The concept of the modal travel bike is to have a bike that is thoughtfully designed and equipped so that it could be run as a regular road bike or quickly converted into a single-speed road bike with minimal fuss and fit into an airline-friendly case for travel.
The S&S couplings allow the frame to separate into 2 pieces and fit into the travel case. The case just skims in under the airline surcharge. Once you put the frame in the case, you choose the "mode" of the bike and throw in the associated "modal" components.
The regular road mode would be ideal for cycling vacations when the itinerary is centered on cycling. Gonna ride the road to the sun in Hawaii? You're gonna want all the gears.
But if you are going on a business trip to NYC or Berlin, you just want a bike that is quick and simple to build and pack. You might not have time to even leave city limits, assuming you knew where the best cycling route (which you probably don't). Then you bring the bike in single-speed mode, and enjoy a quick break from tedious activites or enjoy freedom in new surroundings.
The core of the Modal Travel Bike is a frame with S&S couplings that is somewhat sporty in design. The modes are determined by which "modal" parts are added (chainrings, rear wheel, handlebar/lever, and chain). Packing the bike requires the same amount of disassembly as switching the modal parts, so you could use the bike as your everyday road bike while switching the bike to single-speed is the same operation as packing it: you are just tossing in a different set of parts for when you build the bike at you destination.
On the Bike Hugger Modal™ bike, I'm spec'ing vertical dropouts with a chain-tensioner for single-speed use, though my own bike by sycip has track dropouts that have a derailleur hanger. My dropouts make wheel changes awkward. However, my bike is not only fixed-gear compatible but also fully track legal if you removed the brakes. Byron will never run fixed, so I chose vertical dropouts for his bike. If we chose to develop this modal bike further, we will have to decide what type of dropout to use on a production basis.
I will be using a steel fork with lowrider mounts in place of the original carbon fork so that i can run front panniers and tour Japan. Thus, the fork is also a modal component.
My own bike has 4 handlebar sets:
- drop bar with sti for road race/touring
- drop bar with standard levers for fixed gear riding
- drop bar clean for mass-start track riding
- [aero and base bar for time trials (road fixed) or pursuits (track)](http:// bikehugger.com/2007/03/50_prize_purse_and_a_free_pier.htm)
2 hollowtech cranks (use same BB)
- triple crank for touring
- road crank for road racing with double rings or for track/fixed with single ring
2 rear wheels:
- hugi 240 cassette hub for road race/touring
- phil wood 130mm spaced track hub
2 forks:
- carbon look fork
- custom steel sycip for with lowrider mounts (chris king headsets make fork changes a clean operation since the bearings don't fall out when you take the fork off)
2 sets of derailleurs:
- Dura Ace double derailleurs for racing
- Tiagra triple derailleurs for touring
2 chains
- wipperman 10speed chain with masterlink
- wipperman Weisstern track chain with masterlink
With the use of Ritchey Cable Splitters and multiple front brakes, I don't need to tune derailleurs or replace cables when I convert the bike from one mode to another. It takes me a maximum of 30-40 minutes to convert the bike from one mode to another or to pack the bike. As a fixed gear, I have regularly packed the bike in 25 minutes and assembled it in 15 minutes. Granted, I'm a bicycle mechanic, but a halfway competent person should take no more than twice as long to do the same.
If it takes so little time to assemble the bike fully geared, why would one want to take it as a single-speed/fixed? Because the single-speed parts are stronger and less vulnerable to damage in transit. You never need to worry about something going wrong with a single-speed when you only have one afternoon to ride in some out there location. It's easier to pack since there are less components to carefully arrange in the travel case, and the bike is quicker to assemble. A single-speed is just less to worry about, and having a bike on a trip should relieve stress rather than add to it.
I've got my bike so thought out that I only need 5 tools (single-use, not multi-tools) to assemble the bike in any configuration.
What would really make my modal concept perfect would be a true 144mm bcd track crank made to fit an external bearing bb like the shimano's hollowtech. As it stands, I cannot use real track rings because dura ace crank is 130mm bcd.
Hello, sram corporation? wanna sell me one of those truvativ "omnium" track cranks? I'll be your best friend! I need a 165mm crank, thank you very much.
The Mt. Hood Cycling Classic 2007 starts tomorrow and Team Bike Hugger is already there getting ready, previewing the course, and strategizing. Follow their progress on our team blog, check the photos on Flickr, cheer them on, and wish them luck.

I'm not keen on chocolate cake, but I love cherries ...............
Oh chocolate cake...now we're talking!!
Lily - don't mind at all, but (wiv me chef's hat on) I have to say cherries & chocolate compliment each other well....which is why I used them.
Any forum that encourages us to eat cake has got to be good
A cake with cherries in has to be one of our 5 a day!
And chocolate is made from cocoa, and cocoa is made from beans - that's another of the 5 ................... and I've got a slice of lime in my Campari .......... we have a very healthy diet don't we?
Sorry David....I understand that they would compliment each other....its just I don't like cherries................really sorry
Any left I have a bit of room ?
I missed it all....
Can I have some tomorrow David? Any of your cakes will do - they all look yummy. How can you not like cherries lily....all the more for me though
It's also the quality of the jokes here that makes this forum so good. Second to none...
I have to say I used to belong to another forum, but it was a nightmare, people were very rude about people's thoughts on what a plant may be, and what to do, and most the time it felt like i was a child from a divorced couple who were arguing all the time. Such a contrast to this lovely forum !
I wouldn't be making my garden into what it is without everyone on here, your patience (oh no peanuts not another daft question, may be thought but is never said ). I have in the last week started a Facebook group for local gardeners to ask advice, give advice, share plants and seeds and find out more about gardens and local offers on. I had to channel my obsession, sorry passion somewhere.
Anyway a week in and we have 100 members. I certainly wouldn't have had the confidence to do something like that without all of your positive advice and support. thank you !
I think both of those instances mentioned have made me realise what a great 'group' this is, but also the general sense of caring. This week I have had a bit of upset and the messages from some of my 'friends' has cheered me up no end.......thank you everyone
Thanks for the cake David....you're the best with super cake and sweet pea advice
More Pimms anyone? I don't have a borage plant, maybe I should get one I have mint in it, still grown by me
I'll join you in the pimms Orchid Lady, you've made me realise I need to plant some borage !
Help yourself peanuts, I think everyone else has gone to bed part from us and Lily on the Forkers thread It's not my suggestion about the Borage, I can't remember who said it now, Nutcutlet maybe? I've never used Borage with Pimms, in fact if I'm honest I've never used borage I'll have to have a look and see what can be done with it
I too love to dip into this forum each day and see what others are saying,and, if I can offer some advice to those asking for help.
I was unsure at first if I'd " fit in" but I hope my contributions have , on the whole , been seen as well meant and good humoured.
Wasn't me on the pimms OL, with or without borage,
I only drink real ale and white wine
Hopefully not together Nut

Think you definitely fit in Hostafan - if you weren't here you'd be missed - you're part of this growing gorgeous gregarious gardening gang
Dove- I think some of the 'imbibers' from last night would have difficulty saying that today...
I agree, this forum has gone from strength to strength and members are a perfect mix of specialist, expert, experienced, 'weekend' and beginner gardeners. It's that last word starting in 'g' which is the important one and a general sense of our love of gardening is what comes through on the forum, above all else.
Morning all. (bleary eyes)
This is the first place Iook when I come on line. Always some interesting, amusing or helpful titbit, answers to my Qs, opportunty to show off the little knowledge I do have and feeling amongst friends.
I've also been in forums (fora?), Peanuts, where people have been unpleasant to each other. Life is too short.
Tea. I need tea.

A niche design, but these KEF speakers will please some with their smooth, detailed sound
A flexible, versatile product that offers a sound traditional iPod docks can only dream of
Good, but it needs to offer more scale and non-Apple streaming to compete fully
Great features for the price, but this is not a class-leader in outright sound quality
Bass lovers on a budget will love this dock, but at the cost of the definition we crave
It's no all-rounder, but the Consolette remains a unique AirPlay-and-more device that can sound simply gorgeous
Stylish and portable with a seriously enjoyable sound – there's a lot to like about this Bluetooth speaker
It may be the first of its kind, but it's already set the bar. The Venue LT is a versatile, talented, and enthusiastic speaker dock
Rugged, versatile and wireless: your new festival friend?
Rich, smooth valve sound for your iOS or Android device

Does anyone know of any manufacturer that makes a similar style bar to SOMA's Noah's Arc bar?
Know where i can find/purchase this style of bar?
Does anyone know of any manufacturer that makes a similar style bar to SOMA's Noah's Arc bar?
Know where i can find/purchase this style of bar?
i know dimension makes one. i tired to order them 2- months ago but they were always out of stock.
i'll coast when i'm dead
Similar for half the price:
I bought one and it's nicer than I expected for the price.
Last edited by Grand Bois; 07-08-08 at 07:24 AM.
yeah, i obviously realize where to buy the soma ones. but i was asking does anyone know a place selling a bar that's not soma. I've seen these around on a few bikes, and they seem to be made by different company (diff finish etc). The NYCB one looks pretty cool. I was looking for something with a fully smooth, curving shape, but on that bike it looks pretty good. Thanks for the lead. I'll see if i can hunt down a dimension bar as well.
I wasnt sure what this style of bar was called. And looking up arc bar all over, including ebay wasnt yielding the results i was hoping for.
Thanks again.
Look for a bike shop that used to sell Bridgestone and see if they have any leftovers in their take-off bar bucket. Some of their lower end hybrids used to come with arc bars and I used to pick them up cheap from shops where an original owner swapped them out for something else. Might be a few years too late by now, though...
Dimension makes a set, as mentioned. I have both.
The dimension bars are about half the price, but they have more of a kink in them compared to the continuous bend of the somas. The somas are noticeably lighter, slightly wider, and I think have more sweep.
I'd get the soma bar first, unless you're broke.
And don't chop them down!

I have a front brake, but I only use it for slowing or stopping.
yeah the problem is that i'd want to chop them down (when i was looking for arc bars) so i figured it would almost defeat the purpose of having the arc in the first place
i'll coast when i'm dead
Zacked, Thanks! that is what i was hoping for. some actual testimonial and some great photos to illustrate the point. You rule!

Will Miami spell end for LeBron James, girlfriend?
You would think after nearly breaking a world record for consecutive third-person references and uttering the iconic phrase, "I'm taking my talents to South Beach," in LeDecision, that LeBron James would choose his words more carefully.
Instead, the self-proclaimed king just keeps on providing fresh material.
James is profiled in the upcoming issue of Harper's Bazaar -- which hits newsstands on Aug. 17 -- and makes some major missteps when characterizing his relationship with longtime girlfriend and high school sweetheart, Savannah Brinson, the mother of James' two sons, LeBron Jr., 5, and Bryce, 3.
James tells the magazine that with or without a wedding ring, he believes Brinson will always support him.
Yeah, and Cleveland fans will welcome him warmly when the Miami Heat play there.
"A person like myself always needs a great sidekick and a person you can rely on no matter the circumstances. And she's that," James told Harper's. "She's got my back, and I love her for that."
Sidekick? Ouch. So does that mean his kids are his assistants?
I'm not saying the 25-year-old James was obligated to profess his eternal love for Brinson, but he certainly gave every indication that he's in no rush to crown a queen.
That means the over-under on James' relationship lasting in Miami, known for its bevy of beautiful, exotic women, just swung dramatically in the groupies favor -- especially with Brinson, 24, admitting she wasn't feeling Miami as a destination.
"Personally, Miami was not my favorite place," she told the magazine. "Vacationing there is great. You go for three days and get some sun and it's time to go home."
So will the Miami relationship curse claim another couple? It got Shaq and Dwyane Wade. Brinson and James, better watch out.
