BikerBeauties.com Moves to Bandit's Cantina of Bikernet.com
Sam Dixon has photographed knockout models and award winning custom motorcycles since 1996. In 1998 he met Bandit in Daytona Beach during Bike Week and inquired about getting into Easyriders. A few months later Bikerchics.com was started. In 2004 he teamed up with Livia Crisan to start Biker Beauties and turned the website into a print publication in 2006 which covered five states for over 5 years.
Sam photographed thousands of models and celebrities over the past 19 years and now his entire library and future shoots are coming to Bikernet as part of Bandit's Cantina. His work has been featured on Bikernet and inside the Cantina for over a decade. If you're a fan of silicone and chrome you've probably seen his work.
His annual Great American Muck Run takes him around the United States shooting in 25+ cities with over 500 models every year. Those silky photo shoots are published in various print and online publications around the world, and now they will be a major contributor to Bandit's Cantina.
Some 80% of Sam's photo library has never been seen and now it will fly exclusively into Bandit's Cantina with The Daily Bikerbabe section and a weekly blog from his Road Tour. Fans of Bikernet are invited to come out to shoots and be a part of the Great American Muck Run, so watch for news when Sam will be in your area and your bike could be featured next along with the hottest Biker Beauties he shoots at every location.

NHL Playoffs: Sharks win to reach 1st Stanley Cup Final
NHL Playoffs: Sharks win to reach 1st Stanley Cup Final
SAN JOSE, Calif. -- Joe Thornton, Patrick Marleau and the rest of the San Jose Sharks gathered around the Campbell Bowl for a celebratory picture after winning the Western Conference final.
In that moment, all those past playoff disappointments and collapses were forgotten. It will take four more wins to put to rest those questions about if they had the fortitude to win it all.
Captain Joe Pavelski scored an early goal, Joel Ward added two more and the Sharks advanced to their first Stanley Cup final in franchise history by beating the St. Louis Blues 5-2 on Wednesday night in Game 6 of the Western Conference final.
"It's a pretty cool feeling," Thornton said. "Obviously it's our first time. It was pretty neat to get this done at home. The fans here have waited so long, 25 years. We've waited 18 years or so. So it's a great feeling."
Joonas Donskoi also scored, Logan Couture had an empty-netter and Martin Jones made 24 saves as a Sharks team notorious for postseason letdowns will play for the championship that has eluded Thornton and Marleau since they entered the league as the top two picks in 1997.
Thornton assisted on Pavelski's goal less than four minutes into the game to set the tone and Marleau had two assists in the third period that set off chants of "We Want The Cup! We Want The Cup!"
"We're just enjoying the ride right now," Marleau said. "We've had some really good teams over the years."
Despite making the playoffs 16 times in 18 seasons and winning the second-most games in the NHL since the start of the 2003-04 season, the Sharks have been known for their soul-crushing playoff disappointments.
They won just three games in three previous trips to the conference final, were knocked out twice in four seasons by a No. 8 seed and most notably blew a 3-0 series lead to lose in the first round to Los Angeles in 2014.
The impact of that loss lasted for a while as San Jose missed the playoffs entirely last season. But led by first-year coach Peter DeBoer and bolstered by some key acquisitions by general manager Doug Wilson, the Sharks recovered this year and are now only four wins from a championship.
Game 1 of the Stanley Cup final will be Monday night. The Sharks will either host Tampa Bay or visit Pittsburgh, depending on which team wins Game 7 of the Eastern Conference final Thursday night.
"It's a great moment for those guys who have put in a lot of work but we still have another series to go," Couture said. "We still have four more wins to try to get. It's another step. This is the third one now. We're ready for that next challenge."
With the loss, the Blues' postseason woes continue as the franchise still seeks its first championship and first trip to the Cup final since 1970. Coach Ken Hitchcock's second goalie change of the series did not work as Brian Elliott allowed four goals on 26 shots in his return to the net.
Vladimir Tarasenko, a 40-goal scorer in the regular season, got his first points of the series when he scored twice in the third period but it was too late for the Blues, who still trailed 4-2.
"It stings right now," captain David Backes said. "Six more wins and we're having parades on Market Street. Right now ... not enough."
This was the first time in San Jose's history that the team played with a trip to the Stanley Cup final on the line. The atmosphere in the Shark Tank reflected the high stakes with the fans at a frenzy during pregame introductions and the "Let's Go Sharks!" chants starting soon after the puck dropped.
The Sharks fed off that energy and were buzzing early as Hitchcock predicted before the game. St. Louis nearly silenced the crowd when Alexander Steen got a chance in the slot early in the period but Jones robbed him with a glove save.
That led to a breakaway for Thornton, who missed the net on his chance. But Pavelski recovered the puck behind the net and before Elliott knew what was happening, Pavelski tucked the puck in on a wraparound for his NHL-leading 13th goal of the playoffs.
San Jose added to the lead early in the second when Ward tipped a point shot from Brent Burns past Elliott to make it 2-0.
Ward's second goal and another by Donskoi in the third period removed any drama and allowed the fans to celebrate and the Blues to ponder their missed opportunity.
"They're hurting right now," Hitchcock said. "We're all hurting. "You don't want this to be our best opportunity. You want this to be a building block."
Marleau played his 165th career playoff game, the most ever for someone who never played in the finals. Thornton is next on the list with 150 games, followed by Curtis Joseph with 133. ... The only franchise that has played longer than San Jose without going to a Cup final is Arizona, which began NHL play as the Winnipeg Jets in 1979-80.
NBA Playoffs: Cavs respond to destroy Raptors in Game 5
NBA Playoffs: Cavs respond to destroy Raptors in Game 5
CLEVELAND -- Back home, the Cavaliers were not hospitable.
They rudely roughed up the Raptors again.
LeBron James scored 23 points then sat the fourth quarter, Kevin Love scored 25, and Cleveland unleashed tenacious defense on Toronto to regain control of the Eastern Conference finals with a 116-78 rout of the Raptors in Game 5 on Wednesday night.
On their court in front of 20,000-plus screaming fans following two straight losses in Canada, the Cavs opened a 34-point lead in the first half and never slowed while taking a 3-2 series lead.
They can clinch their second straight conference title and trip to the NBA Finals with a win in Game 6 on Friday night in Toronto.
"We ought to be able to transfer that on Friday," James said. "Playing in that beast of an arena that we're going to we got to be composed, we got to be tough and we got to be sharp."
The Raptors, who came in with momentum and confidence after winning Games 3 and 4, left Quicken Loans Arena shaken and one loss from having their deepest playoff run stopped.
"They kicked our butts, bottom line," Raptors coach Dwane Casey said. "That's been all three ballgames."
James had eight assists and six rebounds in 31 minutes before checking out late in the third quarter with the Cavs up 37. He spent the fourth quarter resting on the bench while Cleveland's reserves finished the romp.
Kyrie Irving added 23 points and he, James and Love outscored the Raptors 43-34 in the first half. Cleveland has won its three games in the series by a combined 88 points.
"They are a different team here," Casey said. "We came in here with a chance to do something special and we didn't get it done. They pushed us around and took what they wanted."
DeMar DeRozan scored 14 points and Kyle Lowry had 13 for the Raptors, who were overwhelmed from the start. Bismack Biyombo had just four rebounds after getting 40 the past two games. The only positive for Toronto was center Jonas Valanciunas, who returned after missing eight straight games with a sprained right ankle. He scored nine points in 18 minutes.
Playing defense as if every possession was the game's last, Cleveland held Toronto to 34 points in the opening half while building a 31-point halftime lead -- the largest in conference finals history. Since their expansion arrival in 1993, the Raptors had never been down by 30 before in any game -- regular or postseason -- at halftime but they have rarely seen a defense like this either.
The Cavs were all over the court, swarming and stifling DeRozan and Lowry, who combined for 67 points in Game 4.
A courtside doctor might have stopped this one in the first half.
Love found his shooting touch after it went missing during the lost weekend in Toronto, where he went just 5 of 23 and was benched for the fourth quarter of Game 4. He finished 8 of 10 from the field, a confidence-boosting performance that should temporarily quiet his critics.
"Kevin Love being Kevin Love," Cavs coach Tyronn Lue said. "He had two bad shooting games and we made a big deal out of it. Nothing he does amazes me. We gotta keep him aggressive all the time."
The Cavs made a point of getting Love the ball right away and he responded by making all four field goal attempts, dropping a 3 late in the first quarter that pushed the Cavs to a 37-19 lead.
"He was just locked in," James said. "We saw that and just wanted to keep giving him the ball. The easiest one he had tonight, he missed."
Cleveland's onslaught continued in the second quarter, and when James got free for an easy two-handed dunk, Cavs fans could relax and begin making TV viewing plans for Friday.
These looked more like the Cavaliers who opened the postseason with 10 straight wins, obliterated the Raptors by a combined 50 points in Games 1 and 2 and given a chance to beat whomever survived in the West.
Center of attention
Valanciunas hadn't played since May 7. He scored two quick baskets in the first quarter when the Raptors were still close.
Raptors: Dropped to 2-7 on the road in this postseason. ... Played a game every other day since April 29, going 7-7. . Biyombo and Valanciunas are the only teammates with at least 120 rebounds this postseason.
Cavaliers: Trumped their 31-point win in Game 1, which was the previous most lopsided playoff victory in team history. ... James played in his 191st career postseason game, moving him ahead of Magic Johnson for 12th place on the all-time list. ... James (1,320) is tied with Kobe Bryant (1,320) for the second-most free throws in postseason history. Michael Jordan made 1,463. ... Improved to 7-0 at home in these playoffs.
Up next
Game 6 is Friday night in Toronto.
Best of MLB: Walk-off single gives Giants 13th win in last 14 games
Best of MLB: Walk-off single gives Giants 13th win in last 14 games
SAN FRANCISCO -- Brandon Crawford singled in Matt Duffy with two outs in the 10th inning, and the surging San Francisco Giants beat the San Diego Padres 4-3 Wednesday for their 13th win in 14 games.
Duffy singled off Brad Hand (1-2) with one out, pinch-hitter Hunter Pence popped out, Duffy advanced on a wild pitch and Crawford hit a 1-2 offering over center fielder Jon Jay as Duffy scored standing up.
Crawford also singled and scored after some alert baserunning in the second inning. Duffy and Denard Span drove in runs for the NL West-leading Giants.
San Francisco completed a three-game sweep, extended its winning streak to five and improved to 9-0 against the Padres this season. The Giants' two walkoff wins in the series were against Hand (see full recap).
Arrieta moves to 9-0 in Cubs' win over Cards
ST. LOUIS -- Jake Arrieta remained unbeaten on the season despite allowing as many as four runs for the first time in nearly a year and the Chicago Cubs beat the St. Louis Cardinals 9-8 on Wednesday.
Arrieta (9-0) joined the White Sox's Chris Sale as the only nine-game winners in the majors.
Arrieta allowed four runs in a regular-season game for the first time since June 16, 2015.
Arrieta became the first Cub to win his first nine decisions since Kenny Holtzman in 1967 and it is the best start to a season for the franchise since Jim McCormick went 16-0 in 1886.
Kris Bryant hit a three-run homer and Jason Heyward and Ben Zobrist each drove in two for the Cubs (see full recap).
Bradley extends hit streak to 29 in BoSox victory
BOSTON -- Jackie Bradley Jr. extended his major league-best hitting streak to 29 games, Xander Bogaerts homered to extend his hitting streak to 18 games and the Boston Red Sox beat the Colorado Rockies 10-3 on Wednesday night for their fourth straight win.
Travis Shaw had three RBIs and Boston moved to a season-best 12 games over .500. The Red Sox have scored eight or more runs 10 times in their last 14 home games.
Steven Wright (4-4) had another solid outing, giving up three runs, two earned. He has now given up three runs or fewer in eight of his nine starts.
Chad Bettis (4-3) held the Red Sox scoreless through three innings but was responsible for seven runs over the next two innings before getting pulled.
The Rockies have lost six of their last seven -- all on the road (see full recap).

The world's attention, so recently focused on the uprising in Egypt, is now riveted on the fierce struggle taking place between the forces of Libyan dictator Muammar Gadaffi and the opposition seeking to end his more than four decades-long reign. As the military struggle surges back and forth, and reports surface of the Qaddafi regime's air attacks, some in the opposition forces and some around the world - including in the U.S. - are urging a "no-fly zone" to redress the imbalance in the air, in the hope of lessening civilian casualties on the ground.
Some seem to view a no-fly zone as a relatively benign alternative to outright international intervention. But, as U.S. Secretary of Defense Robert Gates pointed out March 2, such a zone must begin with a military attack - what he called "a big attack in a big country." His warning was echoed by others in the U.S. military, who cautioned that such intervention would be complicated both diplomatically and militarily.
Any such attack would mean destroying the Gaddafi regime's anti-aircraft missile installations, almost surely resulting in civilian casualties on the ground.
Opposition forces in Libya have also expressed deep concern over the consequences of foreign military intervention. Human rights attorney Abdel-Hafidh Ghoga recently told journalists, "We are against any foreign intervention or military intervention in our internal affairs. This revolution will be completed by our people with the liberation of the rest of Libyan territory controlled by Gadaffi's forces." Opposition military leader Gen. Ahmad Gatroni said the U.S. should "take care of its own people, we can look after ourselves."
For the danger such action poses to civilians, one need look no farther than the abysmal record of U.S. and NATO forces in Afghanistan, which in the name of combating the Taliban and other armed insurgents have brought death to thousands of innocent Afghan civilians and destruction to hundreds of villages.
The latest example: the tragic death of nine Afghan boys, the oldest just 15, who were gunned down by NATO helicopters last week as they gathered firewood for their families.
For all these reasons, it's urgent to "just say no" to a no-fly zone.

Nor-Tech Steps Up In White-Box Notebook ArenaIt is no secret that as screen sizes expand and feature sets increase, many notebook computers have become powerful enough to substitute for desktop systems. However, when looking to get rid of their desktop PC, the majority of users will only consider a brand-name offering from a big player such as Hewlett-Packard or Sony. Instead of looking only at the brand, solution providers and their customers should eye white-box notebooks, which often bring a lower price point with comparable capabilities.

Stackable Fibre Channel Switch Can Help Meet Future Performance NeedsSelecting the right network switch for a particular setting is a tricky task that involves balancing today's needs against the possible expanded needs of the future.

Anticipating future needs, one might use high-end switches with lots of ports and excessive price tags. But the high-end hardware goes to waste if the anticipated growth never materializes.

As Americans we share a common bond. That bond is freedom. Freedom unites us from around the world regardless of the color of our skin or the beliefs we hold in our hearts. People from all walks of life converge into our beloved country because here we all understand freedom. Or do we?
I'm writing this letter because I believe our freedom is being violated. Every time we take a drink of water we are being medicated without consent. That medication is fluoride and has been added to Vancouver's water supply since 1961. Recently some startling information regarding water fluoridation and the dangers to health have come to my attention. Such knowledge and information is unsettling to say the least and I am compelled to alert others.
The Fluoride Action Network's website, http://fluoridealert.org, is an excellent resource for somebody who would like to educate themselves about fluoride. I am confident that anyone who takes a look with a critical and open mind to the information held therein will stand up with me and put an end to the fluoridation of our otherwise pristine waters. If for no other reason, it violates our freedom. And as we all know, that is un-American.

Chinese and Indian fertilizer buyers are ruining Bill Doyle's potash party. The CEO of Potash Corp. of Saskatchewan blamed disappointing third-quarter earnings Thursday on foreign purchasers, since they are balking at paying the high prices he and other potash producers are charging.
But Mr. Doyle is confronting an even more unwelcome party guest: anti-trust forces south of the border. A class-action lawsuit moving its way up the U.S. court system accuses Potash and six other producers in Saskatchewan and the former Soviet Union of colluding to keep potash prices high, not in China or India, but the U.S. itself.

The mood is glum in Valueville these days. Conditions are so depressed that its inhabitants can be spotted packing up their Bloomberg terminals and heading off on extended vacations.
As other investors pile into stocks they must be wondering why value investors are leaving. After all, the market is well up from its lows of 2009 and it continued to move sharply higher last year. Even better, the economy seems to be on the road to recovery and there are signs that the good times are here again.
Problem is, every upward tick makes stocks less attractive as investments. They've climbed so high in recent times that price-sensitive value investors are starting to run for the exits.
As the Economist observes, Professor Robert Shiller's favourite measure of the market, the cyclically-adjusted price-to-earnings ratio or CAPE, is now at historically lofty levels.
It represents a dark portent for the S&P500 according to calculations by Dr. Clifford Asness. He points out that after the market hit similar levels in the past it went on to provide real gains of less than 1 per cent annually over the subsequent decade, on average. If history is a good guide then investors should expect to receive relatively little for taking on a good deal of risk.
But Professor Shiller's formulation has its critics. Some analysts believe the 2008 crash was a once in a lifetime event. As a result, the depressed earnings from the period paint an overly pessimistic picture.
A more substantial criticism comes from Professor Jeremy Siegel who notes that accounting standards have changed in recent years which tends to undermine the metric. It's an interesting critique that is discussed in some detail at the Philosophical Economics blog.
However, Professor Shiller's ratio hardly stands alone. Several other market measures suggest the market is pricey. For instance, the Q ratio follows a pattern very similar to that of Professor Shiller's CAPE. (It tracks the market value of companies compared to their replacement cost.)
While these measures are far from perfect, they represent some of the best long-term indicators we have.
But that doesn't mean the market is doomed. It could march higher over the next few years. It has been a lesson learned the hard way by many tardy real estate buyers in Toronto and Vancouver where expensive markets have become even more so – at least in the short term.
In addition, while the market is pricey, that doesn't necessarily mean bargains are scarce. Just think back to the internet bubble of the late 1990s. Sure, high-tech stocks traded at outrageously high prices, but many less glamorous companies could be purchased for a song.
Alas, we aren't quite in the same situation today according to money manager Lonnie Rush. He examined research that suggests stock valuations are unusually compressed. In other words, stocks are trading in a much tighter price-to-earnings range than they have in the past and there are relatively few stocks with very low ratios to be found.
It's something I've noticed in my own business. One stock screen I follow spotted more than 40 candidates near the bottom in 2009. But the number of stocks that pass the test has dwindled over time and now only a handful remain.
These are some of the reasons why many value managers are holding more cash in their portfolios than usual. MoneySense's Jonathan Chevreau talked to Vito Maida of Patient Capital Management, who thinks new accounts should keep 75 per cent in cash. Lonnie Rush is of a similar mind and has more 70 per cent in cash. Others are a little less extreme.
But if they're right, investors might do well to take a little vacation until the next big crash.Report Typo/Error

OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) — Gov. Chris Gregoire and six other governors have sent a letter to leadership in the U.S. House and Senate asking for an extension of the state and local sales tax deduction.
Washington is one of seven states without a state income tax. Instead, residents have been allowed to deduct the sales tax they pay, but only on a temporary basis. In 2010, Congress approved an extension for the 2010 and 2011 tax years, but would need to do so again to extend the deduction for 2012 and beyond.
Signing on with Gregoire on Tuesday were the governors from Florida, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas and Wyoming.

Psychosocial Working Conditions, Occupational Groups, and Risk of Disability Pension Due to Mental Diagnoses: A Cohort Study of 43 000 Swedish Twins
Samuelsson, Åsa, Ropponen, Annina, Alexanderson, Kristina, Svedberg, Pia, Scandinavian Journal of Work, Environment & Health
Samuelsson Â, Ropponen A, Alexanderson K, Svedberg P. Psychosocial working conditions, occupational groups, and risk of disability pension due to mental diagnoses: a cohort study of 43 000 Swedish twins. Scand J Work Environ Health. 2013;39(4):351-360. doi:10.5271/sjweh.3338
Objectives The aim of this study was to investigate associations between psychosocial working conditions, occupational groups defined by sector, and disability pension (DP) with mental diagnoses while accounting for familial confounding.
Methods A prospective population-based cohort study was conducted, including all Swedish twins who, in January 1993, were living and working in Sweden and not on old-age pension or DP (N=42 715). The twins were followed from 1993-2008 regarding DP. Data on DP, exposures, and covariates were obtained from national registries. Cox proportional hazards regression models with hazard ratios (HR) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) were constructed for the whole cohort, and for discordant twin pairs.
Results The associations for the whole cohort between DP with mental diagnoses and (i) job demands (HR 1.23, 95% CI 1.06-1.43), (ii) job control (HR 0.91, 95% CI 0.83-0.99), (iii) healthcare and social work (HR 1.41, 95% CI 1.04-1.92), and (iv) service and military work (HR 2.07, 95% CI 1.37-3.14) remained after accounting for possible confounders, including familial factors, while the associations between DP and (i) social support, (ii) type of jobs, and (iii) some of the occupational groups were attenuated, becoming non-significant. In the discordant twin pair analyses, commercial work was significantly associated with lower risk of DP (HR 0.55, 95% CI 0.32-0.95).
Conclusions One unit increase in job demands and working in the occupational groups healthcare and social work or service and military work seem to be risk factors of DP with mental diagnoses, independent from various background factors including familial ones. However, one unit increase in job control or working in commercial work seem to be protective factors of such DP, accounting for confounding factors of this study.
Key terms job exposure matrix; JEM; mental disorder; mental health; mental illness; population-based cohort study; prospective study; sick leave; sickness absence; Sweden.
In general, work is considered to be positive for mental health (1, 2). However, work can also be a potential risk factor for mental ill-health in that it might contribute to the development of and/or prolong a mental disorder (3). A mental disorder may lead to sickness absence and even to permanent work incapacity giving rise to the granting of a disability pension (DP) (3). In recent decades, the incidences of both mental disorders (4) and DP due to mental diagnoses (5) have increased. At present, mental diagnoses constitute the most common reason for DP (5, 6). Still, there is a lack of studies of work-related risk factors for being granted DP due to mental diagnoses (7).
Psychosocial working conditions can be risk factors of this kind and have often been measured using the Job Demand-Control-Support model (8-10). According to this model, jobs with high demands, low control, and/ or low social support, and jobs with a combination of high demands and low control (high strain) and low social support (iso strain) are associated with increased risks of sickness absence/DP due to mental diagnoses (7, 11-18). In most of the previous studies of psychosocial working conditions, self-report surveys have been used to assess these factors (11, 15-19), but fewer studies have measured these working conditions by applying a validated job exposure matrix (JEM) (20-22), based on mean scores of job demands and control and social support in different occupations. Moreover, only a few previous studies are based on population-based cohorts (23), which limits the generalizability of their findings.
Although the right to be granted DP is related to the individual's work history, there are only a small number of studies (24-29) that have investigated the association between occupation and risk of DP. …

Nineteen-year-old Matias Perry, who threw the first punch in the attack that led to the death of Matthew Chew on a New London street two years ago, pleaded no contest to manslaughter Thursday and will be sentenced in February to 15 years in prison.
Perry is one of six New London teens charged in the Oct. 29, 2010, stabbing death of Chew, a 25-year-old artist and restaurant worker who was walking home from his job at a Huntington Street restaurant. He is the second person to accept a plea offer in the case, and more pleas are anticipated in the upcoming weeks.
The person considered the lead aggressor, Idris Elahi, 19, pleaded guilty to murder and was sentenced in May to 35 years in prison. The state then began making plea offers to the other five defendants, all of whom remain incarcerated, based on whether they cooperated with the investigation.
Perry, one of two teens who did not cooperate, received an offer to plead guilty in exchange for a sentence of 20 years, suspended after 15 years served and five years probation. According to statements made in court, he initially appeared reluctant to accept the offer but changed his mind after talking with his mother and his attorney, Peter E. Scillieri. Had he taken his case to trial, the state would have prosecuted him on the original charge of accessory to murder, which carries a maximum sentence of 60 years in prison.
Standing before Judge Susan B. Handy Thursday, Perry had to be reminded to speak up as he answered a series of questions the judge posed to ensure he understands the deal.
Chew's parents, Marilyn and Rick Chew, were aware of the plea offer and are expected to attend the Feb. 7 sentencing. Perry's mother, who lives in Florida, also is expected to attend.
According to the prosecutor Stephen M. Carney, the six teens met at Elahi's house and devised a plan to go downtown and jump somebody. Chew, who had just finished his shift as a cook at 2Wives Brick Oven Pizza on Huntington Street, was walking toward his home on nearby Washington Street when one of the teens asked him for a lighter.
"He reached into his pocket and this defendant (Perry) did assault the victim," Carney said.
According to co-defendant Brian Rabell, who described the attack during a probable cause hearing in the case last year, Perry and then Marquis Singleton punched Chew in the head, and the other teens joined in on the attack.
Nineteen-year-old Rahshad Perry, who is not related to Matias Perry, received the same plea offer as Matias Perry because he, too, declined to provide a statement to police and testify at the probable cause hearing. Rahshad Perry initially rejected the offer and said he wanted to take his case to trial. He may reconsider the offer when he appears in court next week, according to his attorney, William Grace.
The other defendants who cooperated with the investigation — Rabell, 20, Tyree Bundy, 19, and Marquis Singleton, 19 — have received plea offers that involve a shorter prison sentence than the 15-year offer extended to Matias and Rahshad Perry.
They have been told their cases would be resolved next.

Bigger babies may grow up to be happier adults.
A study of medical records of more than 4-thousand people in england finds people who were born at a lower birth weight tended to have more depression and anxiety as adults.
The study did not look at possible causes, but said it could be that stress hormones pass from the mother to the fetus.
The study included medical records on 4,627 people who were born in 1946.

Worst Food Processor Ever
This review is from: Cuisinart FP-14DC Die-Cast Elite Collection 14-Cup Food Processor
Pros: Very versatile blade design.
Cons: Doesn't completely chop or shred food. Poorly designed blades leave too much gap and as result large chunks of food end up in bowl. Also gasket in top leave food trapped and moisture trapped resulting in a black moldy buildup that is impossible to clean.
Other Thoughts: I would never spend this kind of money for a Cuisinart product again. This product claims to be an "Elite" product but it is the worst food processor I have ever owned. It is impossible to clean the gasket in the top. As a result it leaves food trapped there and eventually begins to develop a black mold in the gasket. I spoke to customer service about this and they suggested a few things to try, but none of them work. It's design is just clearly faulty. In addition, the design of the top does not allow for foods to be adequately chopped or grated as advertised. The space between the blades and the covers allow for large chunks of the vegetables as an example to get trapped and as result it leaves large chunks of vegetable unchopped or ungrated. You then need to strain out the large pieces from the chopping bowl. The product is not worth the money and Cuisinart and Conair does not stand behind their products. They do not offer solutions to the problems presented and hide behind their warranties. I would strongly suggest to anyone considering a food processor or other kitchen appliance to look outside of the Cuisinart products.

Great food processor
This review is from: Cuisinart FP-14DC Die-Cast Elite Collection 14-Cup Food Processor
Pros: This thing is amazing! we used it for thanksgiving dinner and it made short work of a lot of the effort of slicing, mixing, and chopping. It ran very smoothly then and we have used is many times since then and it has never failed us. I used it to make pumpkin puree to freeze for later and it effortlessly pureed over 40 lbs of pumpkin. It helped me undertake that momentousness task in under half a day. I am not disappointed.
Cons: Sometimes some of the food particles end up in the larger containers when using the smaller ones so you end up having to clean all the bowls but its not terrible.
Other Thoughts: This was the first food processor I bought for my wife. I wanted to get a good one the first time instead of work our way up and I am not disappointed. We loved ours so much we convinced my in-laws to buy one.

Awesome deal
This review is from: Cuisinart FP-14DC Die-Cast Elite Collection 14-Cup Food Processor
Pros: I use this food processor at least two or three times a week, it is really easy to use and overall a great addition to our kitchen. It is also built like a tank, so I hope it will last many years.
Cons: The top lid can be a pain to clean sometimes, just don't let it sit dirty overnight and you'll be fine.
Other Thoughts: Best price+shipping I found for this food processor

Very nice machine
This review is from: Cuisinart FP-14DC Die-Cast Elite Collection 14-Cup Food Processor
Pros: This machine is a beast - This can be a good or bad thing to some. I love the machine I never worry about not having space for whatever I choose to make. It feels very solid and has enough power to make anything from dough, to sauces, and salsa.
Cons: It is pricey however with this quality I am very happy to spend it.
Other Thoughts: If you need a food processor and feel you will use it a lot then buy this machine and never second guess yourself as it is a wonderful machine. I researched a machine for over a week at multiple sites reading every review I could find. This was the best overall pick for me.

The Seattle City Council is considering a $290 million bond measure for the November ballot to replace the sea wall and rebuild two city-owned piers that extend from it.
Outside the Seattle Aquarium this week, city road crews surveyed a sidewalk and street edge that had partially collapsed, the results, the city says, of water from Elliott Bay penetrating the aging waterfront sea wall and undermining the asphalt above.
Several years ago, crews injected grout near Waterfront Park to raise another sagging sidewalk.
"It's an ongoing problem," said Tim Kuniholm, director of public affairs for the aquarium. "There's a sense of urgency that we're not going to be able to hold back the bay without a fix."
City engineers say the sea wall, which runs from South Washington Street to Broad Street, has been seriously eroded by bore worms and tides. Built more than 70 years ago, it wasn't designed to withstand a major earthquake.

City consultants have put the risk at 1-in-10 that an earthquake in the next decade could cause the sea all to fail, threatening the Alaskan Way Viaduct, the state ferry dock and waterfront businesses.
"Failure of the wall could severely disrupt transportation and commerce in the region and lead to widespread property damage, injury and loss of life," said City Councilmember Tom Rasmussen.
The Seattle City Council is considering a $290 million bond measure for the November ballot to replace the sea wall and rebuild two city-owned piers that extend from it. The 30-year measure would cost the owner of a $360,000 home about $59 per year.
The city's sense of urgency is compounded by the Highway 99 viaduct replacement-tunnel project already under way. The new sea wall must be in place before Alaskan Way can be rebuilt where the viaduct now stands.
Planning also is under way for an extensive new city waterfront park that will run the length of Elliott Bay, where the current Alaskan Way now runs. Ambitious preliminary plans for the park include a gondola climbing from the waterfront up to First Avenue at Union Street, a broad, descending walkway to connect Pike Place Market with the Seattle Aquarium, and public plazas and overlooks.
City planners considered including elements of the new park in the sea-wall bond project, but ultimately rejected that idea in favor of the current measure, which holds down the total cost and focuses on the wall.
"We didn't want it to be a Christmas tree with lots of added-on projects," said Rasmussen. "This is about transportation, public safety and essential infrastructure. We don't want it confused with the waterfront-park design that is still under way."
The $290 million bond measure would complete the sea-wall replacement from South Washington to Virginia Street. A second phase would rebuild the remaining portion of the wall. The city hopes to secure some federal funding for that work.
Additional funding for the initial project will include $30 million from the King County Flood Control District and nearly $30 million from the city's general fund.
The sea wall was damaged in the 2001 Nisqually earthquake, but the full extent of its deterioration wasn't discovered until the following year, when inspectors found infestations of gribbles — tiny marine crustaceans — in the sea wall's untreated support posts.
Engineers estimate that between 50 and 60 percent of the sea wall is weakened and could fail in another earthquake.
The sea wall was built between 1916 and 1936. It's not just a wooden face, but extends back under Alaskan Way and the viaduct and is composed of rip rap and other fill that has settled over the years.
In addition to replacing the sea wall, the bond measure will include some habitat and shoreline restoration designed to improve salmon migration.
The measure also will include rebuilding Waterfront Park, just south of the aquarium, and Piers 62 and 63, just north of the aquarium. All are owned by the city and are badly deteriorated, city officials say.
Summer concerts used to be staged at the piers, but were discontinued in part because they could no longer safely support large crowds.

How does it work?
Upgrade to the brand new iGO primo app now!*
Easy to learn - this app is ideal even for people who have never tried GPS navigation before. The maps are part of the application**, for navigation you don't need cellular network coverage. NO ROAMING FEES, no surprises.
Getting there - easier and faster
Select your destination — either by searching for an address, a place of interest, or by picking a spot on the map. Our Smart keyboard and Smart search make it easy. Our Adaptive Search Results technology actually learns from your use of the application and tailors search results accordingly.
iGO primo app calculates the route to your chosen destination and displays a map overview along with the most important information, such as journey distance and estimated travel time. Just tap Go! and iGO primo app guides you to your destination with clear voice guidance and a smoothly moving 3D map. Lane assistance and signposts are now country-specific and therefore even more realistic to help you find your way no matter where you go.
Apart from fast, short and easy-to-follow route variants, you can now also use our new Green routing option, for lower fuel consumption and CO2 emission. The route variants are calculated and displayed simultaneously, so you can compare the alternatives visually on the map and pick the one that suits your needs best. You can avoid freeways, ferries, unpaved roads, and toll roads, and the new Avoidances option lets you bypass any road section of the itinerary. You don't have to worry even if you miss a turn: iGO primo app instantly re-calculates the route.
Installation and setup
Please note that since iPod touch and iPad do not have built-in GPS-receivers, an external GPS-receiver is required. Compatible are only those which are officially supported by Apple. Due to the size of the package, we recommend purchasing and downloading the application via iTunes.
Note: Continuous use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life. Background navigation has to be turned on - you can do this under Settings / Advanced settings.
* This update is not available for iPhone 3G devices.
** NNG will make the latest maps available as part of the free software updates, depending on availability. Conditions apply.
Stunning 3D visualization
The iGO primo app offers stunning 3D visualization. Complex junctions are displayed in 3D to provide a rapid understanding of your next maneuver, while true-to-life 3D renderings of famous landmarks, valleys, hills, and mountains are clearly displayed.
TTS Pro
The Text-to-Speech (TTS) feature allows pronouncing city, street and highway names as part of the guidance instructions. The new TTS Pro reads out not only standard voice commands, but also traffic events, a summary of the planned route and relevant country info after crossing a border. Text-to-Speech is available in the following languages: English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian. Note: The languages mentioned above vary in the applicable packagages.
HERE Places Search

Supporting multi-point routes
You can now add one intermediate destination to your route. This feature was introduced in version 1.1.
Calling POIs (Places)
If you find a Point of Interest (POI) that has a phone number, you can call it immediately from the navigation application.
Quickstart function
No need to remember road names and house numbers. Save an unlimited number of favorites for a quickstart.

Where am I? - emergency function
Find help in emergency situations! This function displays nearby assistance options based on your current GPS position, including police stations, tow services, ATMs, etc.
Millions of POIs
Select from millions of Points of Interest along your route or at your destination. This also helps you easily find nearby hotels, restaurants, ATMs, gas stations, etc.
Multi-touch screen
You can zoom the map in and out with two fingers, much like an iPhone. But for quicker control, one-touch operation is also supported.
Smart Keyboard
The Smart Keyboard speeds up the address entry by completing the most likely city and street names.
Explore the map
You can freely browse and explore the map in both 2D and 3D mode: zoom, drag, tilt, rotate, and select any point on the map as a destination.
Auto orientation
To make navigation on the phone really handy, the application automatically selects between portrait and landscape format.
Lane assistance and realistic signposts
The iGO primo app makes navigation easy, even in complex situations. Country-specific lane guidance and signposts give you even more realistic help in choosing the right lane well before upcoming maneuvers.
Day and Night mode
With changing light conditions when driving in tunnels or at dawn, the iGO primo app automatically switches between Day and Night mode.
With the iGO primo app, users can select different images for their position markers, so the traditional arrow can be changed to a variety of realistic 3D symbols, including a pedestrian, a bicycle, and numerous car models.
Navigation resumes after incoming call
Following an incoming call during navigation, the iGO primo app simply resumes guidance without any user interaction.
"We can say that aesthetically it's really enjoyable; when first starting up we notice right away the presence of 3D monuments on the map, unique in its kind; we start the navigation and after a few moments we have the GPS signal (I have to say that within Rome it never lost the signal); here we are, starting the navigation, discrete voice, good route, re-calculation of the route in just 5 seconds,..."
"iGO My way for iPhone is a good navigation software that fights head-to-head with other applications present in App Store. Among its advantages are maps in 3D, immediate satellite signal, fluency during navigation and free map updates until the end of 2010. Personally, I liked it for its simplicity and its fluency when responding to the driver's input, for example a continuous route modification. If you are looking for an excellent navigation that won't let you down on the road (battery permitting), iGO My way for iPhone is an ideal choice."
"iGo is an extremely good replacement for a car GPS, it was even an improvement for me. Some may say that its going rate of $79.99 (USD) is a lot but its cheaper than most other GPS's and iGo is one of the better ones. From its clear maps and eerily-human voices to its smooth tracking and myriads of features, iGo is the best GPS turn-by-turn in the appstore."
"The software weighs less than the Sygic although it makes massive use of 3D graphics, not only for roads but also for landmarks. This means we can immediately single them out on the maps. What's more, 3D graphics are also used for position markers. Some are very original, like the tank or the flying carpet."
"One feature I really liked is a 'where am I' mode. You tap the map while en route, and select 'where am I'. It gives you latitude, longitude, altitude and the city, state, and street you are traveling on. In the lower right is another button labeled 'help nearby'. Tapping it gives you links to the closest car repair, police, health facilities, and ATMs. I think this is a terrific feature, and should be on every nav system, but as far as the iPhone goes, I've only seen it on the iGo package."
