ATLANTA -- Now to the debate about some hi-tech phone apps:
It's Saturday night, and you or your loved ones are out and about, and need a ride home.
Who are you going to call?
You could call a taxi, and, perhaps, wait awhile.
Or you could use one of those smartphone "apps" like Uber or Lyft to find a ride.
Just tap on the app and see on your screen, in real time, all of the Uber or Lyft drivers nearby who can come to you in minutes -- just tap the app again to summon one of them.
No phone call and no dispatcher are involved, and since you have already submitted your credit card information when you signed up for the service, no money changes hands. The total cost of the trip is posted on the app before you decide to hire the driver.
And the driver will likely drive you for less than a taxi would cost.
State lawmakers say all they want are regulations to make sure the drivers and cars are safe.
So, those businesses may soon face some heavy, state regulations.
And a lot of their customers worry that the proposed regulations are so heavy-handed they might chase the businesses out of state.
As it is, traditional taxi drivers hate the new app-based ride-referral services.
"Their way of working is not like us," said Tesfaye Lagibo of Atlanta, while waiting in his taxi, in line, for a fare outside a downtown Atlanta hotel.
Lagibo said that because of strict government regulations on taxi cabs, he can't compete with the new guys such as Uber and Lyft.
"They don't have a [taxi] stand, they don't have lines, they do it everywhere.... We don't have opportunity to go outside to get a customer."
The bill that several state lawmakers introduced would require businesses such as Uber and Lyft to comply with taxi-cab-style regulations -- complete with heavy fines for drivers who disobey.
Representative Alan Powell, (R) Hart County, who chairs the House Public Safety Committee, said it's a public safety issue.
"The drivers need to have background checks, they need to have driving record checks."
And, he said, they need to have liability insurance.
But Keith Radford, the general manager of Uber in Atlanta, said the drivers already do, even though Uber does not employ the drivers, but "partners" with them.
"The fact that we don't employ any of the drivers, that makes that much more important, to make sure that we're putting properly vetted people onto our system. See, we go above and beyond in terms of making sure that the drivers that we put on the system that are picking up Uber riders are screened in terms of the background check process, to make sure that none of the drivers have felonies, DUIs. And so, you know, we do a screening, seven year background check, to make sure that anything that does surface, we can address immediately.... And if there's any collision, accident, Uber makes sure to cover that."
Meet an Uber driver named Buzz, who went through all the background checks and training:
Buzz's other part-time job -- he's a Republican state representative from Gwinnett County, Buzz Brockway. Brockway is critical of the bill and of his fellow legislators, Republicans and Democrats, who support it.
"They're trying to take regulations that we have on the taxi industry and apply them across the board to companies like Uber. And what we should be doing is looking at those regulations that are on the taxi cab industry and getting rid of most of them. It's just outrageous some of the barriers that we've built up in Atlanta and around the state, barriers to taxicab industries. We're heading in the wrong direction. We shouldn't be looking to regulate more, we should be looking to regulate less and let people exercise their entrepreneurial spirit and provide transportation to people."
Rick Hewatt, the president of Checker Cab in Atlanta, supports the bill and agrees with Rep. Powell that the Number One issue is the safety of the public. And right behind it, Hewatt said, is being able to stay competitive.
"We've had to abide by ordinances, in the city and the state, for decades. And a lot of companies come in here with no regulation. And to compete with that is not fair."
Hewatt pointed out that Checker Cab already has an app to assist people who want to "call" a taxi. He said an upcoming app update will provide many of the same features and conveniences that the Uber and Lyft apps provide.
A happy Uber customer is Mary Margaret Oliver, another State Representative. Oliver, (D) Decatur, said maybe the law should simply require Uber to do what Uber is already doing, and no more. Don't regulate it like taxi cabs, she said, let taxi cabs become more like Uber.
"I think this is a competition, and who's going to provide the best service for the best price is probably going to win."
She signed on as a sponsor of the bill, she said, so she could be involved in changing the initial version, and ultimately writing a final version that could stake out some middle ground.
"There are some safety issues. We do regulate taxis. We do regulate limousines. We regulate drivers. There's a history of safety provisions in relation to commercial carriers.... I see a lot of complaints and a lot of businesses complain that they're not getting a level playing field. And the taxi guy who has to have certain safety precautions, oversight, he's got a right to complain."
There will be hearings and a lot of debate over this at the Capitol over the next few weeks before the bill has a chance to get to the floor for a vote in the House.

Not sure what the partner pricing is though as my provider doesnt offer the ZAD licenses. Probably one that works as a smtp proxy is best, though I am really not on the admin side of things, so I could be wrong. The only project I know of so far that comes with a web gui is MailArchiva Email Archiving & Email Compliance Features, but its open source version is pretty limited.

Robert McCarter 1932 Ford roadster - 2010 Street Rodder Goodguys Columbus Top 100Written by Eric Geisert on July 19, 2010 Harrisburg, NC
Robert is just 36 years old, and this is the first hot rod he's built--a collection of different influences he's experienced. The screen vent in the hood side is unique, as is the Karmann Ghia dash. A 350/350 engine-and-trans combo was used, but Robert did stitch up his own interior. Once done, he drove the car from North Carolina to the LA Roadster Show in Southern California a few months back, and has been enjoying the ride since.

KU law professor Stephen Ware interviewed on Wichita TV about Kansas' unaccountable judiciary
KU professor Stephen Ware: "This violates basic equality among citizens, the principle of one-person, one-vote. The current system elevates one small group and treats everyone else like second-class citizens." Kansas is the only state in the union that grants lawyers a majority control of the judicial selection process. I can't imagine how it's constitutional. 10,000 lawyers control 2.8 million Kansans.

The Various Segments that Comprise the...
It Remains Extremely Challenging to Identify...
Foundation Medicine and New York's Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center are partnering to co-develop a new molecular diagnostic intended to match patients with blood cancers to targeted therapies or clinical trials, the organizations said today.
Through this collaboration, leukemia, lymphoma, and myeloma specialists at Sloan-Kettering will provide clinical and genomic expertise to assist in product development. The resulting test will be based on technology, methods, and computational algorithms developed by Foundation Medicine, which intends to commercialize the test internationally, the company said.
"The development of clinical-grade sequencing is rapidly changing the practice of oncology, enabling us to more precisely understand and target the genomic alterations that drive a patient's individual cancer," Sloan-Kettering President and CEO Craig Thompson said in a statement. "We are partnering with Foundation Medicine to develop a best-in-class assay for hematologic cancers because we view achieving this goal as an extension of our mission as a comprehensive cancer center: making it possible for all patients to be treated with the therapy that is matched with their individual cancer."
Foundation Medicine said this product in development complements its FoundationOne™ test, which produces a genomic profile for solid tumors and a concise report to help clinicians match patients with targeted drugs or clinical trials best suited to the patient. This new product, however, uses both DNA and RNA sequencing to identify genomic alterations characteristic of hematologic malignancies. The firm added that it expects to launch the new test by year-end.

VIDEO: Bernd Zangerl's Hardest Problem Yet--V16?
Bernd Zangerl has been a visionary in the bouldering scene for over a decade. From world class first ascents such as New Baseline (V14) in Magic Wood, Switzerland, to the discovery of entire new areas with endless potential, Zangerl's lifelong journey into the deepest depths of bouldering have helped shape the discipline.
Recently, Zangerl contacted Rock and Ice after sending what he now considers to be his hardest boulder problem ever. When we asked Zangerl about the problem's difficulty, he neglected to give a rating, however, he did state: "It's for sure another level up compared to Dave Graham's From Dirt Grows the Flowers (V15), which I repeated in 2009 and is still considered to be that hard."
Watch the videos below to witness the process and ascent and be sure to check out Zangerl's story about Shantaram--a problem that is now surely a contender for the world's hardest--in the new issue of Rock and Ice 216, which is available at news-stands January 16.

Hi everyone,
I like to understand a bit better of the no rebrand version for Open Source Zimbra.
I don't mind having zimbra logo, to be honest. But can I put my logo at the top, maybe beside Zimbra. Or remove zimbra at the top and put below, powered up by Zimbra, something like that?
I could do this with other open source projects particularly openerp and alfresco. How about this one?
Any help? Thanks.

Successful rock musicals usually have swagger, audacity and a decibel level that sets them apart from shows that don't plug in, amp up and let 'er rip. But like most musicals that click, they also tend to tell a good story.
In its world premiere at ACT Theatre, "These Streets" does capture the raffish spirit and music of the defiantly anarchic, in-yer-face early-1990s rock scene in Seattle — a post-punk surge labeled "grunge" that produced such thrashing yet soulful bands as Nirvana and Pearl Jam, along with many, many others.
This show will hit nostalgic notes for those Seattleites who shared the excitement.
But "These Streets," which centers on the fierce women rockers who were a vital part of that scene, has not mustered much of a tale to tell. High on ambience, it's very light on compelling characters and plotting. And it's as if the creators couldn't decide to go for an homage concert, a documentary or a dramatic story of rock paradise lost and (partly) regained.
- Seattle's vanishing black community
- Bellevue School District seeks to fire football coach Goncharoff over scandal
- Designed in Seattle, this $1 cup could save millions of babies
- Infections are the culprit in Alzheimer's disease, Harvard study suggests
- 1,000 fraternity, sorority members trash Lake Shasta campsite
Most Read Stories
So what co-writers Sarah Rudinoff, Gretta Harley and Elizabeth Kenny have wrought is a hodgepodge of all three. And it's messier than Kurt Cobain's coif, and as ragged as a pair of very distressed jeans.
"These Streets" has drawn much advance press, largely due to its focus on the unsung women — not just singers, but also guitarists, drummers, bassists — who helped kick down some longstanding gender barriers (and female images) in the rock world.
What musical director Harley's tight, hard-driving band contributes is a rough-dozen sampling of vigorous songs originally performed by such grunge-era bands as her own Maxi Badd, Bell, 7 Year Bitch and Lazy Susan.
With strong vocals by Rudinoff, Harley and others, most still pack a punch, with muscular lyrics (when you can make them out) that lay it on the line. Those by Kristen Barry are some of the best, and there are new songs by Harley and Rudinoff (who are current members of the band We Are Golden).
The house band is positioned on an elevated stage, which is plastered with music posters and represents a small club. Dramatic sequences under Amy Poisson's direction are relegated to the floor below, with dialogue drawn from more than 100 hours of interviews with musicians and other scenemakers.
Information overload may account for how scattered and muddled the narrative is, as meandering scenes of a grunge-era group of gal rocker roomies in their 20s overlap with takes on the same women in their 40s.
Making out who is the older version of whom ain't easy. And there's not much to these characters beyond the sketchy outlines of ambitious singer-songwriter Christine (Terri Weagant and later, Imogen Love); shy yet talented singer Kyla (Hollis Wong-Wear, and later Sarah Rudinoff); slogan-spouting lefty Dez (Samie Detzer, later Elizabeth Kenny) and stoner Ingrid (Eden Schwartz, later Gina Malvestuto).
Leisurely sequences of the younger women drinking, trash-talking and, theorizing about the communal, do-it-yourself nature of their scene, in between happy excursions to the Off Ramp and other happening clubs, get banal and sloppy. And they alternate with listless on-air reminiscences of a deejay (John Q. Smith) and the women, two decades later.
After Seattle's music goes viral and commercial, the young roomies descend into jealous backbiting and feuding — irritatingly resurrected when the group holds an awkward reunion 20 years later.
Perhaps tracking the rise and fall of one band, or even one musician, would have given "These Streets" more shape, specificity and narrative drive. So far, however, it's the show's blazing musical interludes that best capture the guts and the glory of a special Seattle era.

|Health is not a condition of matter, but of mind
|Written by Lee Pitts
~Joe has been having a hard time sleeping, so his doctor prescribes him some extra-strength sleeping pills which he takes on Sunday night. Joe wakes up in the morning before his alarm goes off, has time for breakfast and gets to work early. He tells his boss, "I didn't have any trouble at all getting up this morning!" His boss responds, "That is fine Joe, but where were you on Monday and Tuesday?" ~
Even after all of the advances that science and medicine have made, we cannot say for sure why we sleep and we don't even really know what sleep is for. The brain is not at rest during sleep, it stays active for most of the night.
There are two basic types of sleep: REM (random eye movement sleep) and non-REM sleep. During REM sleep the eyes are actually moving rapidly, and when the brain's waves are analyzed, they look very similar to the patterns of a person who is awake. During this time the mind is active but the brain is disconnected from the body, and the person is essentially paralyzed.
During REM sleep is when people are usually dreaming. Scientists think the brain is organizing and storing its memories during this time. This is an important part of sleep, and many things can affect your body's ability to get the REM sleep it needs. Some things that are harmful to REM sleep include alcohol, some anti-depressants, sedatives and, ironically enough, some sleeping medications.
Non-REM sleep is broken up into four different stages. Stage One is light sleep, with Four being the deepest type of sleep. The amount of sleep and the quality of sleep change as we age. The deep and most restful sleep decreases as we age, with more of the time of sleep spent in light sleep. This is why we more often and more easily awake during the night as we age.
Research has shown the average person needs about eight hours of sleep per night. However, there are differences among people and some only need four-six hours per night. It has been shown people who sleep less than four hours or more than 10 hours are usually less healthy than those who sleep a normal number of hours.
Sleep deprivation can add up, and missing one hour of sleep when compared to a normal night can decrease the mental capacity of the person. If one hour is lost per night, after one week the person has lost seven hours. This is basically the same as a person missing one night of sleep, and a person who has lost one hour per night, each night for a week will perform the same on mental tests as someone who did not sleep at all for one night.
Sleepy patients often report difficulty with performing mental tasks and they report short term memory loss. A sleep deprived person can have symptoms of anxiety or depression. They may have a bad mood, be irritable and have poor judgment.
Excessive sleepiness is the second leading cause of automobile accidents in the United States, and is the number one leading cause of truck accidents. The article next week will continue this topic and the treatments for insomnia.

ClimateMadrid is located on the altitude 650 m over the sea level, because of this during the winter is colder than in the cities situated on the coastline; due to Madrid%27s altitude and dry climate the difference between summer and winter temperature is rather big. The most pleasant weather falls between May and first half of June (20-23 degrees C), and through end of the summer it's really hot. Nevertheless Madrid's climate is considered to be one of the healthiest in Europe due to its close proximity to the mountains.
Madrid's metro is divided into 4 Metro Zones – A, B1, B2, B3 - according to the further one's gets from the centre of the city. You can buy a individual ticket for every zone priced at 2.00 euros – it's valid for one journey through chosen zone and it's also include one EMT bus journey. The tickets are available at the ticket office or the automatic ticket machine. But it's more convenient to buy a Metrobus 10 journey ticket (9.30 euro) that gives you 10 journeys on every metro line through zone A and 10 EMT bus journeys – these buses depart from Plaza de Colón to Madrid Airport. The Metrobús ticket has no expiration date so it can be used by your travel companions – these kind of tickets are available from automatic ticket machines on the bus and metro stations.

By SHAWN RINE
WHEELING - With a stunning, last-second loss to Cabell Midland in the first round of last season's playoffs still fresh in their minds in that locker room in Ona last November, Wheeling Park coach Chris Daugherty liked what he saw from his players. Maybe more importantly, he approved of what he heard.
"Our kids' mentality after that loss to Cabell Midland, the young kids in that locker room said 'we're taking this farther next year,' " Daugherty said.
And with that, expectations at Wheeling Park changed. No longer are the Patriots trying to get back to the playoffs after a drought. They've been there, and now the goal is to win the whole thing.
"It's nice to have goals as a coach, but it's even better when the kids set their own goals before you can even do it. Their work ethic, starting in January kind of went along with their mouth," Daugherty said. "We all know with the weight room, just because you go in there for three months doesn't mean you're going to win. You have to go in there for three years.
"This set of seniors is the first set of kids that has really lived that. We also felt like if you do those things, you become vested. When you become vested you don't want to quit - you're willing to stay and fight and claw for everything every game, every minute, every quarter. Sometimes when guys aren't vested they don't put that time in and then give up on a Friday night when things aren't going so well."

Win 7, Lose 3
The Patriots lost a bevy of important seniors, but the coaching staff feels as though this season's club won't miss a beat.
Offensively, it starts in the slot where juniors Bryce Ingram (5-foot-9, 178) and Eric Banks (5-7, 152) return and figure to form one of the toughest 1-2 punches in the Ohio Valley. They have a chance to be truly special.
"They really do," Daugherty said. "I tell them all the time 'don't play like a junior, because you're not.' Most of the time juniors, that's the first time out on the field. You need to play like you're seniors and hopefully next year they play like first-year college players.
"There should be a huge gap between them and most of everyone else."
Ingram carried 67 times for 401 yards and seven touchdowns last season, while also hauling in 14 passes for 216 yards and a pair of scores. Banks, meanwhile, gained 373 yards and scored six times on 44 carries. He also has seven catches for 72 yards.
Wheeling Park has a plethora of running backs it can hand the ball to including senior Josh Dent (5-6, 163) who will roam from slot to running back. The Patriots will also use junior Geremy Paige (5-10, 200), senior Greg Myers (5-8, 190) and sophomore Theo Blackston (5-11, 216).
"All four of those guys, anybody would love to have them," Daugherty said.
Calling the signals will be junior quarterback Zach Phillips (6-1, 153), who Daugherty has high hopes for. Phillips' dad is former West Liberty and current Wheeling Park defensive coordinator Keith Phillips.
"I really think he's going to surprise some people,'' Daugherty said of the younger Phillips. "He grew up in a coach's house and sat in on college quarterback meetings. His knowledge of the game, his football IQ is very high.
"It was just a matter of physically becoming a junior."
Cole Bertol, Michael Grove, Killian Coyne were pretty much equals in terms of backing up at the position during the preseason.
The Patriots will have a whole new group on the outside at the receiver positions as graduation hit there perhaps the hardest. Though guys like Ingram and Banks will get most of the passes thrown their way, fans can also expect to see good things from seniors Quashad Pugh (5-11, 173) and Julian Figaretti (5-8, 158), as well as sophomore Nick Vargo (6-2, 165) and junior Josh Angalich (5-7, 135).
"We'll be a lot closer to last year's offense than people would think. But I believe in running the football, so we're going to run the football," Daugherty said.
They'll do so behind a bigger, more powerful offensive line. It's a line that Daugherty believes must have the ability to push people off the ball, even when the opponent knows the Patriots are going to run.
Leading the way is 6-4, 230-pound junior right tackle Matt Hackathorn. Senior Zach Drake is the left guard and is fully recovered from a broken leg suffered during the playoff loss, which enabled classmate Reese Folmar (6-0, 260) to get some quality playing time. Folmar will battle it out at right guard with junior Eric McCave (6-1, 237) who the coaches are high on.
That leaves seniors Trent Nicholson (5-11, 225) and Nathan Miller (5-10, 214) as well as a "bunch of younger kids coming up" to fight for the left tackle spot.
"We're definitely going to be bigger. Matter of fact, no matter who wins those positions we're going to be 200-and-over everywhere," Daugherty said. "For years we would put 200 on paper, but in reality they were more like 190, 185.
"We like an athletic line anyway. We're not going to go and weigh our kids and put the heaviest ones out there. We feel like we're going to be 220 and higher."
Liam Casey, a 5-9, 148-pound junior, will take over the kicking duties.
Paige, who led the Patriots in tackles last season, is back at Mike linebacker. Daugherty said he weighed 180 last year, but is 205 this season.
Senior Andrew Wheeler (5-8, 190) is back for his third season at inside linebacker, and Markieth O'Neal returns at one lineman spot, up to 185 pounds from 160.
"It's hard to believe we played a 160-pound defensive end last year, but people had a tough time blocking him. They'll have a tough time this year too, because he's even faster and stronger," Daugherty said.
Daugherty said the Patriots are in search of a pair of nose tackles, one of which is likely to be filled by Myers. The other could be 6-4, 317-pound sophomore Elliott O'Brien.
The right tackle, though the staff would like to see Hackathorn play there, remains open.
"We really think we're going to be able to start our season and go Game 1 with our offensive and defensive lines not having to go two ways, which I think is important," Daugherty said.
The secondary is going to be green as nearly the entire unit was lost to graduation. Daugherty said Dent will provide speed from one outside backer spot, while Blackston will be the sledge hammer on the other side.
Banks and Ingram will have to "come out of defensive retirement," according to the coach.
The key toward the end of camp, was finding a corner and a free safety. Junior Chaz Huntsman (6-0, 194) was given the first crack at punter.
"It will not be a successful season if we're not in the playoffs," Daugherty said. "If we're in the playoffs I will say it's successful, but I don't think it will satisfy anyone.
"Anytime you can get into the Top-16 and move on, I'm going to count it as a success."
Daugherty will be assisted by Phillips, Rick Marsh, Andy Seals, Shane Glass, Daryl Johnson, Drew Biehl, Joe Subasic, Andrew Yahn, Bob Pyle and Tim Ickes.

ALEXANDRIA, Va. (WUSA9) -- Officials have charged three people in connection to an armed bank robbery in Virginia.
James McNeal, 63, James Link, 56, and Alphonso Stoddard, 59, all face a maximum penalty of 25 years' in prison if convicted. They robbed multiple banks in the DC area.
The FBI had followed them as they left from Maryland to a Wells Fargo bank branch in Arlington. That's where an FBI SWAT team was prepositioned and were able to catch them before they fled the scene. During that attempted robbery, one of the suspects Stoddard jumped over the teller counter and took around $47,000 in cash, officials said.
Officials note that 'criminal complaints are only charges and not evidence of guilt. A defendant is presumed to be innocent until and unless proven guilty'.

Four standouts from the 2011 North American Handmade Bicycle Show
- By Nick Legan
- Published Mar. 4, 2012
- Updated Oct. 30, 2014 at 9:51 AM EDT
- Igleheart is clearly a lover of fine things. Photo: Nick Legan
- Igleheart installed 324 Labs new hydro-adapter for disc brakes. Unlike most other adapters that mount to the steerer tube, the design clamps to the handlebars and is compatible with Formula R1 brakes. Photo: Nick Legan
- Lights, camera, poach! The Schmidt generator hub is the latest SL Wireless version. Photo: Nick Legan
- Look ma! No wires. Schmidt's latest design uses the dropout to conduct power from the hub to the wiring harness inside. Photo: Nick Legan
- Igleheart made the headset cap switch for his light. The stem is also an Igleheart creation, incorporating a bolt-on bell. Photo: Nick Legan
- The newest Igleheart model is the Trail Poacher, not that he condones such activity... Photo: Nick Legan
- Igleheart used a swinging rear dropout to make changing between the two gears a bit easier. Photo: Nick Legan
- Something's missing...Notice the crown that clamps the integrated stem/steerer tube as it exits the bottom of the head tube. Photo: Nick Legan
- An eccentric bottom bracket is used to tension the belt drive. A chainstay-mounted rear brake keeps the bike looking clean. Photo: Nick Legan
- An outboard driver is used to connect the drivetrain. Photo: Nick Legan
- English's Project Right was very popular at the show, and rightfully so. Photo: Nick Legan
- A beautiful touch on the Cherubim was the seatstay bridge wrapping the "seat tube." Photo: Nick Legan
- Now that's a seat mast. Photo: Nick Legan
- Flowing lines are a hallmark of the Japanese builder. Photo: Nick Legan
- Is that UCI legal? Who cares! It's certainly beautiful. Photo: Nick Legan
- Part hot rod, part spaceship, Cherubim's latest creation is certainly striking. Photo: Nick Legan
- The curved down tube is so pleasing to the eye, but follow it to the rear dropout for the real treat on Moots' new prototype. Photo: Nick Legan
- Running through that Chris King rear hub is a 142X12mm thru axle. It helps stiffen the rear triangle of the bike, even on a hardtail. Photo: Nick Legan
- From this angle you can see the replaceable threads of Moots' new post mount, a very clever touch. Photo: Nick Legan
So many amazing craftsmen attend and show at the North American Handmade Bicycle Show that giving them all due credit is nearly impossible. After the first day of the show, however, we have found four bikes that stood out for their creativity and execution. Here they are.
Igleheart's Trail Poacher
Chris Igleheart, of Wenham, Massachusetts, builds some impressive steel frames and forks. His unassuming, quiet nature belies incredible skill in fashioning bicycles that are beautiful as well as functional. At this year's show, Igleheart displayed his latest model: The Trail Poacher.
It's essentially a cyclocross bike designed around disc brakes and larger than normal tires. Igleheart installed a White Industries two-speed crank and double-freewheel. A Schmidt generator front hub powers a light for after dark trail poaches (not something Igleheart or we here at VeloNews.com explicitly endorse). Igleheart also made a clever headset cap switch for the light.
A hydraulic disc brake adapter lets drop bar riders take advantage of the Formula brakes' increased power. Swinging dropouts make chain tensioning and gear changing easier. Igleheart has also toyed with the idea of installing a Rohloff 14-speed rear hub on the bike.
The crowning detail of the bike though would have to be the Chimay beer bottle caps used as bar end plugs. Clearly Igleheart has his priorities in order.
Cherumbim's Silver Flyer
Last year Japanese builder, Shin-ichi Konno, of Cherubim, displayed a ravishing red pursuit-style fixed gear. This year, the color is silver and the handlebars are a drop model, but it is no less beautiful. The finish work is exemplary and the concept is high art. Part hot rod, part spacecraft, the Cherubim shows what happens when a builder thinks outside the double diamond box.
English Cycles Project Right
Bright green and missing half the tubes of a normal frameset, English Cycles' Project Right is striking to say the least. A uniblade fork and the missing left chainstay and seatstay meant that English had to get creative when it came time to propel this machine. In collaboration with Fair Wheel Bikes, a solution was found; a belt-driven outboard driver that powers the rear wheel, much like the Mike Burrows-designed Lotus bike that Chris Boardman used to win the 1992 Olympic pursuit.
Other features include an integrated seat mast, an eccentric bottom bracket and custom hubs laced to Enve carbon rims.
Moots Prototype mountain frame
Moots displayed a new titanium hardtail frame with a 142 x 12mm rear Thru Axle and post mount rear brake attachment. With mountain bikes, Thru Axles are the direction many are headed, but there are several small builders on the road and cyclocross side of things who are going there with them. The post mount rear brake eliminates the need for adapters, thus saving weight and reducing flex.

Forest City Ratner to develop Coliseum site
(Page 2 of 3)
The minimum annual rent of $4 million is $1.4 million greater than what MSG was proposing, said Mangano, and the $195 minimum rent throughout the 34-year lease was more than $80 million than what the county would accrue from MSG, according to the county's financial adviser, Public Financial Management.
In making its decision, Mangano said his RFP committee studied the two companies' programming, financing and marketing abilities, as well as their past performance, and determined they were "neck and neck." The decision he said, then "turned to the economic benefit for the county."
Representatives from Forest City Ratner will join county officials outside the Coliseum on Friday afternoon for a second press conference, at which Mangano said a more specific construction timeline would be revealed.
Bruce Ratner, executive chairman of Forest City Ratner, said he would commit $229 million to his proposed renovations, which would reduce seating in the arena to 13,000 and add an outdoor amphitheater, a movie theater, a bowling alley, a House of Blues or a Filmore Theater, and retail space. The project would take an estimated 15 months.
Ratner's proposal would bring the New York Islanders to the arena for six games per year, and it would also host Nets practices, boxing, lacrosse, arena football, college basketball and minor league hockey.
Representatives from Forest City Ratner could not be immediately reached for comment.
Mangano said he called both Bruce Ratner and MSG president Hank Ratner — who is of no relation to Bruce — 10 minutes before Thursday's press conference to inform them of his decision. "I thanked them for their commitment to Nassau County," Mangano said.

Why can't we have the Islanders all year round? This is where they belong. The people want them here wher they should be. Don't know if anyone will go there nw that the Islanders are gone.
Will it be built to withstand a Tornado or severe Hurricane?
Mr Mangano , if you cared about the residents of Nassau County this could have been accomplished two years ago.
A folly election that cost the taxpayers over 2 million was the best you could do. You wanted us to finance 400 million .
You should be ashamed of yourself. You like all politicians care about politics not people.

Before Going to Court
Small claims courts have been set up by the state legislature to handle disputes about money. In California, small claims courts usually hear cases that involve $10,000 or less if they are filed by individuals or sole proprietorships -- or $5,000 or less if filed by businesses (other than sole proprietorships) or by government agencies.
NOTE: If you do not want money, but rather you only want the defendant to do something or stop doing something (for example, you only want the trees trimmed, or to have a dog stop barking), or if you want more than $10,000, then small claims court is not for you. In these cases you need to use a different court. For more information, please read "Case Type Definitions."

A Light and Fun Joomla Template
Don't let the school demo and graphics fool you. This practical Joomla template could be used for a myriad of websites. A collection of primary colors, rich typography, and basic design lend themselves to to be used in a fun and content rich site.
Key Features
Bonus Typography Styles
ABC is bundled with dozens of typographic preset styles to help make your content "pop". You will have access to many style options thanks to Boostrap from Twitter!
Single-click layouts
ABC allows you to easily change sidebar/column widths from the template interface, as well as moving the columns to provide a two left column, two right column, or traditional left / center / right column layout.
Six color packs
ABC ships with 6 default styles including layered Adobe graphic source files for designers who wish to easily mock up their own color combination.
Mega-Optimized for SEO
ABC is source ordered, truly semantic, HTML5 valid, lightweight, and search engine optimized.
Built using the Wright 3 Framework!
Why Should you care what Framework your Joomla Template is built upon?
- If you want your site to load quickly, then you need to have a Joomla Template built with a Framework that's Lightweight.
- If you want your site to be able to run the latest version of Joomla, then you will need a Joomla Template built with a Future-Proof Framework that is quickly updated with each Joomla release.
Are all Template Frameworks built the same way?
Other Frameworks have taken what we are convinced is the wrong approach. They have integrated tons of features that have made their frameworks bloated, fat, slow, unreliable and tiresome to update and maintain. There is simply a lot more stuff to go wrong in them and more stuff to update with each new Joomla release. Soon you start to realize that when it comes to Frameworks: less is more.
Why is Joomlashack's Wright Framework Different?
We believe that the Framework should be minimalistic - - it should have the bare minimum to load and function. At 1.2Mb, Wright v1 was already the most lightweight Framework out there: Wright 3 tips the scales at just 563kb! As a result, when compared with other Frameworks,
- Sites built with Wright load quicker.
- Wright-built Joomla Templates are always the first to be updated when a new version of Joomla is released every 6 months.
- Wright works reliably with the most popular and the obscure Joomla Extensions.
- Sites built with Wright, are easier to migrate.
The Joomlashack Joomla Template - a "Strictly Joomla" Template
We build light, non-bloated, and simple to install Joomla Templates to make your life easier. We call them "strictly Joomla" because in most cases you are able to install them using only the Joomla CMS and it's built-in features. Other template companies usually require you to install extra plugins, extensions, and need a CCK to get your site to look like their template.
Experienced developers have loved our "Strictly Joomla" Templates since 2005 because:
- You don't need to install heavy plugins or extensions to make the template work.
- Less extra plugins and extensions means easier updates and maintenance as well as better compatibility with 3rd party extensions.
- A light and quick-loading template / site is good for SEO.
- Our templates' simpler overrides reduce installation, support, upgrade, and maintenance needs.
The result is a more robust, more reliable, and easier to maintain site.
Learn more about the Wright Framework, the lightest framework in the Joomlasphere.
The following is included with the purchase of your template:
- The template install file.
- Installation and configuration support and advice.
- Source Graphics (but in most cases not the placeholder images) used to create the template, allowing easy customization of template graphics.
- A guarantee the template will work as promised with default Joomla, and that bugs in this template if found will be fixed in a timely manner.
Color Options
What module positions are in this template?
ABC supports 17 module positions. {mslink,3} for a look at the positions in use.

OCALA - A 53-year-old man struck by a vehicle last week remains hospitalized.

Suzanne Santangelo, spokeswoman for Ocala Regional Medical Center, said Wednesday that Rayfield remained in critical condition.

Ptolemy was a famous wizard. He was featured on a Chocolate Frog Card, which, in 1991, was one of two that Ron Weasley had yet to collect (the other being Cornelius Agrippa).
Behind the scenes
- There are several historical figures who bore the name Ptolemy, the most famous being Claudius Ptolemaeus (c. 90 AD – c. 168 AD), a mathematician, astronomer, geographer, and astrologer who lived in Egypt while it was under Roman rule. Another famous historic figure was Ptolemy I, who was one of Alexander the Great's generals. He was the first Pharaoh of the Ptolemaic dynasty.
- Ptolemy's famous wizard card doesn't appears in any of Harry Potter games and Pottermore, the reason is, maybe it is very rare card, because Ron Weasley had about five hundred Chocolate Frog Cards and he was missing only Agrippa and Ptolemy.
The name "Ptolemy" comes from the Greek name Πτολεμαιος (Ptolemaios), derived from Greek πολεμηιος (polemeios) meaning "aggressive" or "warlike".
- Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (First mentioned)

ATLANTA -- Another sign of the times -- the latest protection for children: bulletproof backpacks.
The bulletproof backpacks for schoolchildren are able to stop pistol rounds, not rifle rounds.
No one's claiming that they're the perfect defense for kids.
But since Friday parents have been buying all they can find, on-line, for around $200 to $300 dollars each.
"It's designed to stop anything up to a .357 Magnum," said Richard Brand in Salt Lake City, Utah, who spoke with 11Alive's Jon Shirek in Atlanta Wednesday via Skype.
Brand's company, Amendment II, makes lightweight body armor for police and the military.
And earlier this year, at the request of parents, he said, the company also started making bulletproof backpacks for schoolchildren, made to the same rigorous standards as the adult body armor is.
"It's qualified and it's officially approved for police officer and military use. Most of your standard handguns is what this will be able to stop, the most common threats out there."
Brand said he regrets to have to say that since Friday, on-line sales of the bulletproof backpacks for children have exploded, twenty and thirty times normal. He regrets it, he said, because the company never expected the sudden interest and is scrambling to set up some sort of non-profit to distribute the children's backpacks.
"We don't want to make a profit on this, we just want to protect people."
Another maker of police body armor pointed out that a stack of books inside a regular backpack can also stop a bullet.
Still, what a skill for a child to be asked to learn:
"So get behind it, crouch behind it, cover as much body as you can, and keep it between you and the threat," Brand said, as he held one of his products up to his chest.
During the Cold War of the 1950s and '60s, school children were taught how to protect themselves, in case of nuclear attack and the atomic bombs that they were told could explode at any moment.
"You have to know what happens when an atomic bomb explodes," said the narrator in an old instructional film shown in classrooms to countless students during those years, showing children diving to the floor and ground at the sudden flash of The Bomb. "First, you duck and then you cover. And very tightly you cover the back of your neck and your face...."
Now, the lesson for many schoolchildren is -- shield yourself with your bulletproof backpack.
Richard Brand, Amendment II, Salt Lake City, Utah:
Amendment II is a ballistic, body-armor company. We've developed an incredible technology, over the last couple of years, and we actually have ground-breaking military protection. And right now, our material is so light and so flexible that we've claimed we can put it into anything. Armoring cars, armoring houses, armoring boats, armoring planes....
And [months ago] when parents saw this product, they asked us if we could put it into a backpack to help protect their children. Of course we were willing to do that, there's nothing more valuable than our children.
[The company makes the bulletproof backpacks, and also bulletproof inserts that can fit into regular backpacks]
This [insert] right here weighs less than a pound, and it's extremely flexible, it weighs about three-quarters of a pound, and it can be easily inserted into a backpack. And so now you've got complete ballistic protection that is easily removed and put in, so parents can put this into any backpack at any time.
What we actually use is "RynoHide," that's our technology that we've developed.
[It's sewn into the backpacks]
This is a brand new technology. We have just passed the National Institute of Justice testing. And what that means is, is that it's shot over 400 times. At velocities much higher than the standard handgun. And NIJ does a rigorous test, proving our product's ability to stop bullets and to keep from penetrations at normal ballistic speeds.
It's qualified and it's officially approved for police officer and military use.
It's designed to stop anything up to a .357 Magnum. That would be bullets up to 1400 feet per second, and slower.... Most of your handguns is what this will be able to stop. With more material, we can stop greater threats.
We hope it goes unnoticed [and unobtrusive when worn], but we want [children] to be aware that their backpack is a tool for protection if they get into a bad situation.
Run away, get away, do not use this for protection, get away from the threat. If you find yourself trapped, or in a situation where you cannot get away, then do your best.... Bring it to your front as a shield for your vitals. So get behind it, crouch behind it, cover as much body as you can, and keep it between you and the threat.
Our sales [of the backpacks] are far beyond anything we had ever honestly hoped they would be. We're used to selling [body armor] to military and law enforcement [not to parents wanting backpacks]. We never expected this to explode. Our sales have become beyond the demand right now. Up more than 20, 30 times the [normal] interest in these products, this is not what we want. We're in the business to save lives. We will do everything we can to get our armor into as many hands to protect people. But at this point, with these backpack inserts and backpacks, we're trying to get them into the hands of the people. We don't want this to be at the expense of the parents. We want to find other networks, other [non-profit] ways to get this product out, we don't want to make a profit on this, we just want to protect people.
