David Briscoe, Associated Press
WELLINGTON, New Zealand — It's a story that almost defies belief: A man leaves Mexico in December 2012 for a day of shark fishing and ends up surviving 13 months on fish, birds and turtles before washing ashore on the remote Marshall Islands thousands of miles (kilometers) away.
But that's what a man identifying himself as 37-year-old Jose Salvador Alvarenga told the U.S. ambassador in the Marshall Islands and the nation's officials during a 30-minute meeting Monday before he was taken to a local hospital for monitoring. Alvarenga washed ashore on the tiny atoll of Ebon in the Pacific Ocean last week before being taken to the capital, Majuro, on Monday.
"It's hard for me to imagine someone surviving 13 months at sea," said Ambassador Tom Armbruster in Majuro. "But it's also hard to imagine how someone might arrive on Ebon out of the blue. Certainly this guy has had an ordeal, and has been at sea for some time."
Other officials were reacting cautiously to the Spanish-speaking man's story while they try to piece together more information.
If true, the man's ordeal would rank among the greatest tales ever of survival at sea.
Mexico's Foreign Relations Department says the man told Mexico's Ambassador to the Philippines, Julio Camarena, that he set out from an area near the coastal town of Tonala in southern Chiapas state, which would mean his journey covered a distance of more than 6,500 miles (10,460 kilometers), if he drifted in a straight line.
Armbruster said the soft-spoken man complained of joint pain Monday and had a limp but was able to walk. He had long hair and a beard, the ambassador said, and rather than appearing emaciated he looked puffy in places, including around his ankles. Otherwise, he added, Alvarenga seemed in reasonable health.
Armbruster, who speaks Spanish, said the survivor told the following story:
He's a native of El Salvador but had lived in Mexico for 15 years and fishes for a man he knows as Willie, catching sharks for 25 pesos ($1.90) per pound.
On Dec. 21, 2012, Alvarenga left Mexico in his 23-foot (7-meter) fiberglass boat for a day's fishing, accompanied by a teen he knew only as Ezekiel, who was between 15 and 18.
A storm blew the fishermen off course, and soon they were lost and adrift.
"He talked about scooping up little fish that swam alongside the boat and eating them raw," Armbruster said. "He also said he ate birds, and drank birds' blood."
After about a month, Ezekiel died, the survivor told officials.
Alvarenga also talked about eating turtles. Once near Ebon, he swam ashore.
"He thanked God, initially, that he had survived," the ambassador said. "He's very anxious to get back in touch with his employer, and also with the family of Ezekiel. That's his driving motivation at the moment."
Armbruster said the man said he had no family in Mexico but he does have three brothers who live in the U.S., although he could not immediately provide officials with contact details. The Mexican government also quoted the man as saying he had no family in Mexico.
Gee Bing, the acting secretary of foreign affairs for the Marshall Islands, said he was somewhat skeptical of Alvarenga's account after meeting with him Monday.
"It does sound like an incredible story, and I'm not sure if I believe his story," Bing said. "When we saw him, he was not really thin compared to other survivors in the past. I may have some doubts. Once we start communicating with where he's from, we'll be able to find out more information."

Breaking down Houston, BYU's Week 8 opponent
The true freshman had to step up after David Piland left the Temple game with a concussion. Piland has since left the program, citing his multiple concussions.
However, Houston's offense is in capable hands.
O'Korn has had an impressive début season, averaging 226 yards per game with 11 touchdowns and just one interception on the season. The BYU secondary will have its hands full trying to stop O'Korn on Saturday despite O'Korn's inexperience.
The secondary will have to keep a close watch on sophomore WR Deontay Greenberry. Greenberry leads the Cougars with 606 yards, and he has three games with 146 or more receiving yards this season. Junior WR Daniel Spencer is another dangerous target with four touchdowns on the season.
On the ground, the Cougars in Scarlet will turn to Ryan Jackson. While Jackson had two games with 100 yards or more rushing to start the season, he rushed for just seven against Memphis last week. Jackson and the Houston running game will have a difficult time moving the ball against Kyle Van Noy and BYU's front seven.

Good Offense, but against extremely weak competition. The toughest defense Houston has faced was Memphis, traditionally a better than average defense coupled with a terrible historic and current offense. Memphis held Houston to 247 yards and if it's horrid offense hadn't kept turning the ball over, Memphis would have won.

Sagarin has Houston ranked at 56 with their SOS at 135th. BYU is ranked 24th
with an SOS of 25. Houston could be much better than 56 but hard to tell.
Sagarin's Predictor for BYU is 82.09 and 75.15 for Houston (including the
home field advantage). As long as BYU is not looking past Houston and
concentrates on beating Houston BYU should win.
The public thinks BYU will win by nine as that is the point spread on betting sites. Sportschatplace picks Houston to win by a "narrow margin" because of home field advantage and Houston's expected turnover margin.
Should be a fun game to watch, if BYU can stop Houston's passing game and not lose the turnover battle BYU should win and might even win big if Taysom and team can duplicate their passing of the last few games!

BYU may not score many points in this game, but having watched 3 of Houston's games so far, their offense is overated, as it has seemed pretty average against poor opposition. As long as there are no Defensive touchdowns scored by Houston I could see BYU shutting them out.

Nuna masks represent bush spirits and perform every market day and at funerals and initiations. The rooster's red beak protrudes forward, while its ridged crest thrusts upward, morphing into the body and tail of a chameleon, a creature associated with magical powers, transformation, and fertility. The geometric designs incised on the mask are called scars and bear the same meaning as human scarification patterns.

NBC Green-lights New Cooking Competition From Top Chef Producers
Get ready for 'The United Plates of America.'
Because there weren't enough culinary competition shows in the world, NBC has signed on a new one called, rather horribly,The United Plates of America. Produced by Magical Elves, who you know and love from Top Chef, it'll feature a bunch of apparent newbies ("anybody can take part," says the executive producer) competing to impress investors with their chain-restaurant concepts. The winner will get to open four outlets across this great land. And when they fail, maybe Gordon Ramsay can bring in a camera crew and fix them!

His life in the theater began when Ron Spencer, artistic director and founder of Theatre on the Square, was a 6-year old growing up in McCordsville, Ind. Now 67, Spencer will take his final curtain call when "Superior Donuts", opening Friday, July 11, closes on Saturday, Aug. 2. The show will be presented on the Main Stage at TOTS on Mass Ave., located downtown in Indianapolis' Arts & Theatre district.
"Superior Donuts" is a comedy by Tracy Letts, who is best known for the Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award winning "August: Osage County". Spencer, who also directs the show, plays Arthur, the owner of a rundown donut shop who employs young Franco (Daniel Martin), an aspiring writer. Franco is enthusiastic and wants to update the business but curmudgeon Arthur, set in his ways, resists any and all change. Then there is the matter of Franco's gambling addiction which Arthur discovers and which complicates things further.
Others in the cast include Jerome Davis (James), Bridget Schlebecker (Randy), Jean Adams (Lady), James Lucas (Max), Gus McKinney (Kevin) and Scott Sawyer (Luther).
Spencer has been involved in nearly 130 shows, either as an actor, director, or in some other capacity, since he founded TOTS at its original Fountain Square location in 1988. During a recent sit down with Examiner.com on the set of "Superior Donuts" Spencer said, "This piece is pretty hard hitting in its own way but it makes such a beautiful statement about unlikely characters coming together and helping to redeem each other. I have wanted to direct this show for several years and always ran into casting or other issues. This time, we have an abundance of talent and playing the shop-owner, Arthur, has been on my bucket list since the play was published. One big reason I am able to direct and act in the show is because when I read a script I see it happening like a movie, so for me then, it is just a question of recalling that imagery in the movie. Ultimately though, this is my swan song as far as acting and directing in Indy theater."
Spencer indicated that once the show is over he is considering a full time move to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, which he discovered ten years ago when he first visited there after winning a vacation package in a charity event silent auction. Since then Spencer continued to vacation there regularly until three years ago, when he began to divide his time between his home in Puerto Vallarta and Indianapolis, with six months spent in each location. When in Mexico, Spencer said, and thanks to modern technology, he was able to work at half salary on behalf of TOTS, performing marketing, fundraising and other duties.
Though Spencer will no longer perform or direct at TOTS, he envisions that he'll continue to stay on with the organization until a suitable artistic director is found and then assist in a transition, but he indicated that there was no rush because it is important to him that the right individual be chosen. "I don't know who that candidate is yet. I don't know if the board feels I should hand pick someone, but I know they will look to me for guidance. My main concern is that we find an individual who doesn't have their own agenda. I don't expect TOTS to remain what it was under my tenure. I know every artist has to have the right to self-expression and to pursue what they feel is important. But I think it is important to give it some time," he emphasized.
Spencer also indicated that he felt that he owed his biggest supporters a gradual transition when he said, "There have been individuals such as Christel DeHaan of the Christel DeHaan Family Foundation and Jerry Zink of the Sunrise Foundation, Brian Payne of CICF, plus friends who wish to remain anonymous, that have been very generous to Theatre on the Square. Just this year Christel donated $100,000.00 from her personal funds to TOTS, in my honor. When you have individuals like her, making those kinds of gifts, and responding to your contributions to the community, you feel an obligation. I guess that's just part of my upbringing. Once you have that kind of endorsement, you just can't walk away. I have a plan for my life that I want to implement but by the same token I feel a responsibility to my supporters."
As to whether he will stay involved with the organization as a board member, Spencer said "I certainly hope so. It's my plan to discuss that with the board of directors." In the meantime, Spencer said he has already chosen the 2014-2015 season, lined up directors and secured sponsors for several shows. Will he eventually be able to let go of TOTS permanently? " I would say that it might be easier for me than some because I have a sense of 'Now, it's time for Ron.'"
Now that he is drawing closer to a new chapter in his life, Spencer, who says he is not in the least sentimental, nevertheless reflects on what TOTS has meant to him. "For 26 years it's been a huge outlet for my creativity. That is a luxury that very few people have." In regard to theater in general, Spencer said, "When I was younger it definitely meant an escape. An escape from poverty and a different life than that of my family. Even though I love my family and they were always very supportive of me, I was always different. I knew this and wanted to be somewhere where I felt like I belonged and could feel at home.
"Then, when I did more theater, I realized 'Wow. You can reach a lot of people with these plays. You can really tell someone else's story and have someone be incredibly moved by it.' There is nothing more rewarding, such as in Del Shore's 'Southern Baptist Sissies' when I played Peanut, the old gay drunk. He comes out of the bar and sees a young man standing there and says 'I want you to do me a favor. I want you to go home and look at yourself in the mirror and learn to love what you see.' When I delivered that line, I saw people in the theater with tears streaming down their faces. It is just so very moving."

The Hollywood rumor mill was set a churnin' last week when news broke that Universal was reportedly considering moving forward with a "Bridesmaids" sequel without star and co-writer Kristen Wiig.
Given the film's tremendous success — $100 million box-office gross and worldwide acclaim from critics and audiences alike — it's not surprising that Universal would want to line up a "Bridesmaids" follow-up as soon as possible, no matter who is involved. However, the official word from the studio was that they would ideally like to have the entire cast back for a second movie, but if a good idea for a sequel arises that involves new characters, they might move forward without Wiig.
When MTV News caught up with director Paul Feig and co-star Wendi McLendon-Covey at the People's Choice Awards on Wednesday, where their film took home the award for Best Comedy Movie, we asked them about getting the gang back together for a sequel.
"We're all optimistic; we would love to do it," Feig said. "We loved working together. It was so much fun. Everybody is busy now, but if we can come together and make it as good or better than the first one, then I think we'd all love to do it."
McLendon-Covey added, "And Kristen Wiig won't have a day off for the next 10 years."
"Our goal is to never let Kristen sleep ever again," Feig joked.
When we mentioned that we would be happy to see them all again in any movie, with or without any bridesmaids or weddings, Feig said, "I think even different characters [would be fun]. As long as we get the gang together, it would be a lot of fun."

MEDINA TWP. — Police are looking for the motorcyclist in a high-speed chase Tuesday night that started in the township and ended in Summit County.
Township Police Chief David Arbogast said speeds reached 156 mph as the motorcyclist fled a township officer attempting to make a traffic stop on Interstate 71 about 7 p.m. Tuesday.
"Our officer observed a motorcycle going about 79 mph and he pulled out to activate a traffic stop," Arbogast said.
The motorcyclist didn't stop and instead accelerated, he said. Ohio Highway Patrol troopers who were in an aircraft followed the motorcycle and began documenting the chase for officers on the ground.
"As luck would have it, the highway patrol was in an aircraft running radar and had several troopers up in the air," Arbogast said.
Lt. William Haymaker, commander of the patrol's Medina post, said troopers monitor speed from the air in an "air zone" in Montville Township. Large white lines mark every quarter-mile and troopers with stopwatches time vehicles traveling through the zone to calculate their speed.
The aircraft followed the motorcycle and estimated it hit speeds of 150 mph, 155 mph and 156 mph in the southbound lanes of I-71.
Haymaker said his officers continued to follow the motorcycle and stayed in touch with officers on the ground through a dispatcher.
Arbogast said his officer fell about a mile behind the motorcycle at one point.
"I guess you can't call it a pursuit because we were more than a mile behind," Arbogast said.
The chief said police cruisers didn't reach the speeds of the motorcycle and his officers likely would not pursue at those speeds out of safety concerns for other motorists.
The motorcycle moved onto Interstate 76 and had several encounters with troopers who got close to the cyclist, but were unable to stop or keep up.
The motorcyclist apparently spotted a Wadsworth police officer near I-76 and state Route 94 and picked up speed. He got off the interstate and onto state Route 261 just before the Summit County line, where he hit speeds of around 112 mph.
Troopers in aircraft also reported seeing the motorcyclist pass over a double yellow line and weave in and out of traffic on Route 261.
The motorcycle crossed into Summit County and turned off Route 261 onto South Hametown Road, where he abandoned his motorcycle in a garage and fled on foot.
Medina County sheriff's deputies assisted Medina Township police and troopers with the search, but were unable to find the motorcyclist.
Arbogast said his office may have a suspect but would not release his name because he is not in custody and charges have not yet been filed.
"The person has a little bit of a history," the chief said.
He said he plans to work with the county prosecutor to file charges against the man including fleeing and eluding, failure to comply and speeding.
The motorcycle, Arbogast said, had a high-performance engine, allowing it to travel faster than a regular factory model.
The chief said traffic was relatively light throughout the chase and he's thankful no one was injured.
"It's amazing he didn't wreck," Arbogast said. "Weaving in and out of traffic and hitting those speeds, we're lucky no one got hurt."

Excellent Eating, Dipping, Sauces. With a fantastic sweet and tart flavor, this Japanese apple will stay crisp for weeks.
Usage: Excellent for eating fresh & salads; Good for pies & sauce.
Selection & Storage: Good-quality Fuji apples will be firm with smooth and clean skin. The coloring is usually yellow-green with red highlights, but will sometimes have either a pinkish blush or be nearly all red. Test the firmness of the apple by holding it in the palm of your hand. (Do not push with your thumb). It should feel solid and heavy, not soft and light. To store, keep apples as cold as possible in the refrigerator. Apples do not freeze until the temperature drops to 28.5 F.
Avoid: Avoid product with soft or dark spots. Also if the apple skin wrinkles when you rub your thumb across it, the apple has probably been in cold storage too long or has not been kept cool.

Socrates (470-399 b.c.e.)
Socrates is to this day an enigmatic figure. Most of what we know of him comes from the dialogues written by his greatest student, Plato. Socrates never wrote anything down, and this alone is an indication of his character. Why write when you can live? His actions, his relations to other people and society, his command over his body and his mind—these things all contribute to Socrates' virtuous character.
The Character of Socrates
The character Plato presents is a complex one, undoubtedly embellished. It was fitting that Socrates was ugly, since outer beauty was of no consequence to him. He was concerned with excellence of character, excellence of action, not physical appearance over which nobody has control. Socrates had such control of his mind and body that he was known to drink wine all night and never get drunk, never lose his ability to reason and philosophize at great length and in great detail.
Socrates often highlighted the importance of self control. If we give into every impulse, every desire, he reasoned, we cannot fully appreciate them. Socrates did not advocate abstinence or the inhibition of all desire (as some Eastern thinkers do); he advocated the use of restraint when necessary. Think about the difference between eating an incredible, fattening meal every night for dinner and eating the meal once a month. Won't you have a greater enjoyment of the meal if you have it less often rather than more often? Furthermore, it is difficult to cultivate likes and dislikes when you are only seeking the nearest pleasure. If you just want to get drunk, don't you simply search for the cheapest, easiest method? But then, how to you learn to appreciate the subtle differences in good beers or wines?
The video above gives a contemporary illustration of some key aspects of Socrates' life.
The remains of Delphi in Greece are in the image below, where the Oracle famously said that there was no one wiser than Socrates. What made Socrates wise was the fact that he realized his ignorance, and this in itself allowed him to at least see the path to actual knowledge. How many of us can actually set aside our pride and acknowledge our ignorance in certain areas as Socrates did?
You can see the Socratic Method at work in modern day courtrooms as well as in college classrooms.
The Model Western Philosopher
Many philosophers of our day and age see Socrates' life as the quintessential life of a philosopher or as an archetypal individual, as Soccio puts it. Socrates was constantly thinking and using reason to develop himself as a person. And yet he knew when thinking was unnecessary and when action was appropriate. He did not write his philosophy, he lived his philosophy. The case is often made, however, that Socrates did not in fact exist. What if Plato just made him up? His existence has further support in the fact that Socrates was a part of the writings of other ancient Greeks, such as Xenophon and Aristophanes. Whatever the case, studying Socrates can be a very useful and interesting undertaking, the same way studying an incredibly in depth, fictional character in a novel can be useful.
The Socratic Method
In the dialogues of Plato, Socrates often uses the Socratic Method. So deeply has this been embedded in our culture that you have probably been a part of it, or observed it, without knowing it. Socrates thought that knowledge was in everyone, but that it needed to be drawn out of people. Thus, Socrates would ask people to continuously define and redefine terms in discussions. Here's a generic example:
"So you're saying this means this?"
Do you see the point of my little illustration here? That's the Socratic Method: two participants going back and forth, trying to reach the truth about something, the Socrates-type constantly asking for revision and redefinition.
Socrates also used irony in his speeches and discussions. At the beginning of a dialogue, he often pretended to be naïve and professed ignorance. But by the end, Socrates always had the upper hand and always made his "smart" opponent look like a fool. An example of Socrates in action from Plato's dialogue, The Republic, is in the text.
A Special Kind of Knowledge - Self Knowledge
Two related phrases that Socrates is famous for are "know thyself" and "the unexamined life isn't worth living." Knowing yourself is no easy feat, and it was a lifelong journey for Socrates. There are, naturally, different ways to interpret this command.
Socrates believed there was a special kind of knowledge that comes about when one learns to "Know herself." He called this knowledge "techne." For Socrates, this term encompasses theory and the application of that theory. A good basketball player knows the play book and how to execute the plays. In order to achieve human excellence (or "arête") one must possess techne.
Examining your life is one of the core components of almost any philosophical system. By examining your life, you gradually learn to know yourself. Think about Socrates' statement for a second: if you don't examine your life, it's not worth living. Now imagine all the people who, in fact, do not examine their lives and do not want to (including very materially-wealthy individuals). Each and every one of these people, Socrates would say, is living a life not worth living. Without knowing yourself and examining yourself you cannot grow, he would say. What do you think of this? Is Socrates full of it here, or does he have a point?
Who is the Wisest Man in Athens?
One of Socrates' friends once asked the Oracle if anyone was wiser than Socrates. The Oracle said that, in fact, no one was wiser than Socrates. When Socrates heard this, he was confused, for he did not see himself as the wisest man. He went around to different people who professed to have different types of knowledge. What he found was that, while these people professed to have knowledge, they actually had none. Socrates concluded that he was wisest because he realized that he didn't know. The fact that he acknowledged his ignorance opened him up to actually learn.
I can't count the number of people I've met throughout my life who profess to know many things. They'll sit for hours and tell me about all the things they know—what's wrong with the economy, who the best presidential candidate is, how to avoid getting a ticket! Whatever it is, they know. Have you met these people? The lesson of Socrates is that these sorts of people have closed themselves off. Sure, they might know a few things, but they are not wise because they don't realize that there are still things they don't know.
Even the wisest of figures admit their ignorance, and this is a great part of their wisdom. Einstein spent the last years of his life trying to develop a grand, unifying theory of physics (which, to this day, has yet to be developed).
And here we see one of the many indirect ways philosophy can benefit you as a student. For those of you who go on to something else, never to take a philosophy class again, remember Socrates' message to remain humble in the wisdom you acquire. There is always more to learn! You can get four PhDs and not exhaust the reservoir of possible human knowledge. Many of you might become great physicists, or computer scientists, or nurses—and this is great —but don't let that close you off, prevent you from learning about other things. There is always room for growth.
The Death of Socrates
Socrates' death is fitting and completes his life perfectly as an archetypal figure. Not surprisingly, he was charged with corrupting the youth and teaching about Gods not recognized by the state and put on trial. Although he gave an eloquent defense, the Athenian court still sentenced him to death by drinking hemlock (a type of poison). As the story goes, Socrates drank the hemlock willingly, despite the possibility of escape. As the poison took hold of his body, it moved from his feet upward. He was talking and philosophizing with students and followers the entire time, until the hemlock finally reached his brain—the last part of his body to go. (The famous painting to the right is called "The Death of Socrates" by Jacques-Louis David.)
Socrates had some interesting ideas about ethics. He thought that virtue is knowledge. No one does anything that's wrong if they know that it's wrong. Does this sound right to you? This means that when people do something wrong (not virtuous) then they just didn't know any better. Does it seem like there are people who know certain actions are wrong, but engage in them anyway?
"The unexamined life isn't worth living," said Socrates. Harsh words. Do you think this is true? Assuming the person in the picture above has not taken the time to examine her life, is her life still not worth living?
The famous painting above is called "The Death of Socrates," as immortalized in Plato's dialogue The Apology. Socrates is about to drink hemlock (a type of poison) as decreed by the Athenian court. However, he is still philosophizing while his friends are crying. What does this tell us about the character of Socrates?

Let $S$ be a simplex in $\mathbf R^n$ and let $\{S_i\}$ be a triangulation of $S$.
The boundary of $S$ is defined as the union of the boundary faces of $S$. Is this union equal to the topological boundary of $S$ (with respect to the Euclidean norm topology)? The answer seems to be an obvious yes but I'm having trouble proving it. Any tips or references?
It seems to be a well established fact, although I have never seen it proved anywhere, that each boundary face of a subsimplex $S_i$ of the triangulation is either contained in a boundary face of $S$ or is shared by exactly one other subsimplex $S_j$. I have been trying to prove this for a while now and it seems highly nontrivial. The proof I am constructing relies on the answer to 1 being yes. Any tips or references are welcome.

Prescription drugs are a more serious problem than ever in our society, and the drugs have been at the center of several high-profile robberies and killings over the past few years. Three years ago, on Father's Day 2011, prescription drugs took center stage following a murder at a Suffolk County pharmacy. The admitted killer, later convicted and sentenced to life in prison for the crime, murdered four in the pursuit of painkillers and other drugs.
More recently, a doctor from Queens was found guilty of manslaughter, for prescribing the now-imprisoned gunman medications, including oxycodone. He had also prescribed medications to other patients, who later died due to improper use of the medications.
Such a case is considered unique, since doctors have rarely before faced a trial, or conviction, for being reckless with prescriptions. But that is just how serious prescription painkillers are now considered in our society. Doctors in the New York area are now required to follow specific rules when prescribing these drugs, and often face fines or professional sanctions when they fail to do.
While these drugs are often not considered as dangerous as illegal drugs, such as cocaine or heroin, prescription drugs are just as addictive- and often, just as deadly, if used improperly.
Oxycodone is among the most addictive prescription painkillers, and is often used to relieve moderate to severe pain. The drug, however, can be addicting even if administered properly by the user, and so it should never be taken in large dosages. It should also not be used by patients with severe asthma, a history of prescription drug use, or mental illness. For example, three years ago, the shooter in the Suffolk County pharmacy had a history of drug addiction, and should never have been prescribed painkillers by any doctor.
Hopefully, the recent outcome of the case will be a warning to doctors to properly document patient's medical history, and abstain from prescribing any painkillers from patients who should not be taking them.

Scooter Libby Trial Lesson: Zip It!
"With yesterday's conviction, Lewis "Scooter" Libby joins a line of individuals stretching from Alger Hiss to Martha Stewart whose mistake wasn't committing an underlying crime, but lying to investigators," writes the WSJ. "In pursuing such well-known figures, prosecutors hope to send a message to the meek and mighty alike: Don't lie."
"But some lawyers predict Mr. Libby's conviction may send another message: Say nothing at all, invoke the Fifth Amendment privilege against self-incrimination. Ari Fleischer, for instance, the former White House press secretary, took the Fifth and then testified for the prosecution in the Libby case in exchange for immunity."
A bunch of big wig white-collar types weighed in on the weighty decision of whether to testify or "take five." Here's a roundup:
- Marvin Pickholz, Akerman Senterfitt: "Unless your client is in a situation where not testifying will cause them to lose their livelihood, and unless you're certain of what the facts are," there's no reason people under suspicion should talk with authorities. "Your best hope is to say nothing," he says.
- Alejandro Mayorkas, O'Melveny & Myers: "When you prosecute high-profile individuals like Scooter Libby for false statements, that resonates in the community of potential future witnesses in the sophisticated white-collar arena," making them more likely to heed an attorney's advice to be entirely truthful. "A lawyer has to be extremely careful to ensure the accuracy of his client's statements before" bringing him to the government or grand jury, he adds.
- David Seide, WilmerHale: Seide says most statements that trip the perjury trap aren't made with calculation, but on the fly. Witnesses who lie often fail to consider potential long-term consequences of trying to put investigators off the scent. Witnesses aren't thinking about how their words will sound two years later, says Seide. "You are looking at what you do in real time. What kind of statement do you make? Are you going to confess or not?"

Thank you so much! This one I really like, because of all this shadows of blue*_*
Very beautiful!
Her nails are very long, I wonder if they're honed. I like the design of her clothes and how they mostly use light, cold colors, but I don't think they'd do a good job keeping her warm in winter, especially with such a wide open neckline.
I think she could freeze if she was a common human. Fortunately she is a witch, and I hope she can warm herself ... or somewhere near she has a warm coat

Hi Everyone,
I'm new here, but have had my account for sometime.. Before I get started I'd like to send LOVE & LIGHT to all! ~Namaste
I decided tonight to write my first entry ever about guidance & understanding..being that I'm feeling overwhelmed lately! I'd pefer if I was in the position to be offering guidance but here I am seeking it..
First, I'll introduce myself as Ruthie..my birth name but I have this strong connection to 'mystical' so I've used it as a user name on myspace & other sites. However, it's not because 'I' think 'I'm' mystical but more because of the perception I have. About me: I'm 35, 3 children & married. Everything is spiritual to me..I think it always has been. As a child, I was different..I could levitate! lol Seriously, I remember doing it..I didn't know how but I did it! That's not something I tell every soul I meet..lol I had & still have the ability to know things beforehand or without knowing how.. I have strong connections to certain people so that I feel like I experience their life if that makes sense? Today, I'm a very busy & confused woman.. I love working with crystals, I am attuned to reiki, different kinds. I read books like it's fun! LOL it is!! ;-) I had people make suggestions that you eventually stop reading & that is not the case with me..not yet! And..I'm one of the 11:11 'STARSEEDS' I suppose, I see numbers daily! I use the angel numbers as a reference, but I feel like something is missing? I also communicate with angels, and my life has transformed a lot! I'm grateful!
I do feel like things just unfold as I go and I'm not sure if I'm just being impatient but lately I've been feeling confused. I homeschool my daughter so I'm very busy & I have 2 boys in public schools.. I'm just not making the best of my time I suppose!
Am I the only one feeling this way? Probably not but that's why I'm writing this.. I know I am a starseed, but I feel like I'm doing something wrong..like I'm missing something concerning my guidance. Like today I was suppose to meditate & I completely was so scattered today that I let it slip by and I cannot help but feel like I let myself down..
My spiritual work which is just spreading love & light to others feels like I'm stuck! I'm hoping & I do have faith that this journey will unfold as it should.. However, I done things lately that I don't understand & maybe I'm not suppose to but maybe others can relate..?
For instance..a certain crystal appeared to me & I KNEW I had to purchase one to work with which was sugilite which I know nothing about..besides the little I've read online. I do believe whatever the purpose will manifest even if it's behind the scenes. Another thing was intuitively, I was guided by the angels to use crystals in another way which had to be done before September 15, 2012... I did what I was ask, I still don't know what all of this means.. Does anyone else do things like this? I hope so!
I guess I'm just hoping for some guidance & reassurance that this will pass & others go through this as well.. Also, anyone have any ideas why my 3rd eye has so much pressure sometimes and none at other times?
What about starseed activations? Do I NEED to do that? I've been learning about the Merkaba & feel an INTENSE connection to the teachings..
btw..everyone I'm in Louisiana, anyone in my location I'd love to meet kindred spirits!
I'm sorry for babbling, I feel like I'm searching for something here, in reading, and I'm confused right now...besides thinking to much! lol
I'd love to talk to some of you & maybe hear some of your stories.. <3
Sincerely, Ruthie

Ballinasloe October Fair Returns
2011-09-30 16:30:00
The sporting news this week has been all about the Rugby World Cup in New Zealand and it's great to see Ireland doing so well in it. They followed their amazing victory over Australia with a 62 to 12 win over Russia last Sunday morning. I was one of the many Irish fans glued to the TV early on Sunday morning watching the match and cheering Ireland on to their victory. It'll be another early start this weekend as they take on Italy in what will definitely be a game worth watching!
The famous October Fair returns to Ballinasloe this weekend and this year's festival queen was chosen this week. Cathriona Farrell was crowned Queen of the Fair at the Carlton Shearwater Hotel and beat off strong competition to be awarded the title. The general manager of the hotel, Martin Daly, was one of the judges and admitted it was a tough choice as there were many great competitors. Cathriona represented "The Dunlo Tavern" and is set to have an extremely busy festival! I plan to head down to the fair this Sunday and hopefully I'll get the chance to meet Niall Quinn who is this year's guest of honour.
Hope you all have a great weekend whatever you get up to and don't forget to set your alarm clocks for Sunday morning!

The AP Top 25 Poll
You are here
No poll by Eric Hansen found for this week.
Eric Hansen
Notre Dame football beat writer for the South Bend Tribune. Co-host of Weekday SportsBeat on WSBT radio (960-AM, 96.1 FB, wsbtradio.com).
The South Bend (Ind.) Tribune
Poll Methodology
The AP Top 25 is determined by a simple points system based on how each voter ranks college football's best teams. A team receives 25 points for each first place vote, 24 for second place and so on through to the 25th team, which receives one point. The rankings are set by listing the teams' point totals from highest to lowest. The mathematical formula is the same as the one used for the AP Pro 32 rankings and the AP Top 25 rankings for men's and women's basketball.
History of the Poll
The Associated Press began its college football poll on Oct. 19, 1936, and it is now the longest-running poll of those that award national titles at the end of the season. The preseason poll was started in 1950. A panel of 61 sports writers and broadcasters from around the country votes on the poll weekly. All of the voters have an extensive background in covering college football. Alabama's nine AP national titles lead the way, with Notre Dame sitting second with eight. Oklahoma has seven, while Miami and Southern California have five each. Each team's ranking will be mentioned in AP stories throughout the preseason and the regular season, along with a link to the Top 25: collegefootball.ap.org/poll

Kamen Rider Battride for PS3
This kind of looks like a Dynasty Warriors styled Kamen Rider game which makes my pants all kinds of crunchy but a little sad because I don't have a PS3. There's also almost no chance this will get imported like the Gundam Musou games. So I'll just have to drool from afar. It looks freaking sweet.

Hallelujah, the weekend is in sight, and you need a no-brainer dinner tonight. Quick Main Thursday has you covered.
Here at Bon Appétit we get busy. Real busy. Which means a number of things:
1. No time to cook lengthy meals on the weeknights.
2. No time to date.
The latter may seem like it's coming out of left field, but seriously we're so busy we've turned down five offers for nights on the town. Solution? Kill two birds with one stone by cooking something, in this case pork tenderloin, and inviting that date over for dinner. This particular recipe is quick (as we said, we're busy), it's impressive, and it has DATES on it. Because it's a date. Get it? (We clearly have time for jokes.) Bonus: We won't have to drive home because WE'RE ALREADY HOME. And we'll have leftover pork for a sandwich tomorrow at work. You know, when you're too busy to go out and get lunch.

I just wondered what people though play's faster.
The new one or the previous one?
I just wondered what people though play's faster.
The new one or the previous one?
FM2008 by far.
I thought that.
When you watch it in 3d it take ages to start up or it could be my computer.
I think it runs quicker
fm08 by far...i just have commentary and full speed, it is very slow and frustrating!
FM08 for sure...
fm09 is like a snail crawling up the wall on my laptop
FM 09 is the most frustratingly slow game ...08 was amazingly fast
FM09 is an asthmatic ant with some heavy shopping. FM08 is a leopard.
Agreed i just hope there was a version of FM 09 without the 3d so people with crap computers could play it at proper speed but i guess SI have to advance so no problems. Il just revert to FM 08 with data updates
My system specs are fine to run the game, but with 3 leagues running it's stupidly slow.
Even on 2D it's unbearable
Im confused slightly...:confused:
Ive seen a lot of people on this forum suggest that FM 2009 is the best one yet.
However the comments in this thread that suggest it is slow and frustrating must surely contradict this?
Im not getting the game myself until next Friday.
So are people still finding it enjoyable despite it being slow?...Or is this ruining the game for you?
Fm 09 is faster for me! Weird!
It's a bit slower, for sure. Getting rid of the second match slider didn't help this. That said, it's still fast enough for me, running 12 countries.
the new fm is faster, but i dont play with the 3D im not a fan. Though iv'e never liked change.......
FM08 is far quicker on my machine with the same spec as last year...FM09 is very slow on 3d, slow processing and stutters on 2d...was perfectly fine last year :-(
Fm 08 is faster for me.
08 was faster for me
I actually have found '09 to be slightly faster, and more responsive.
I find fm09 much slower and this is making me rather bored of this game now.
Unfortunately FM09 feels slower for me and still hell no idea why TBH (I'm not talking about 3D - I don't even use it).
Me to in 08 i played with 12 leagues. Now i'm playing with 3 in 09 and it's much slower. 8 hours played and still in season one.
My computer specs are:
Amd 6000+ dual core 3.1 ghz
3072 MB ram
nvidia geforce 7900 GTX
so thats not the point
FM08 by a mile, I find it annoying when I go to make a sub, or a tactical switch, there is always a slight pause in the game.
I think you'll find (judging from comments on these forums) that if you have a good, recent computer, FM09 is actually likely to be quicker.
BUT... only if you at least 4GB RAM, quick dual/quad core processor, a hq graphics card (ie 4850/4870), and fully updated drivers for all hardware.
I.e. all those people with laptops who could happily play FM in the past, are likely to be disappointed by the speed of FM09, unless they have a custom built machine.
it's def slower but i think it's self explanitery. 3d isnt in use every moment the game is loaded so playing matches will obviously need to load it. FM09 is designed to work on high end machines or modern components.
despite what the min specs are, you need way way above them for a quick gaming experiance. if you think FM09 is slow wait untill next year and the year after lol this will seem like a sprinter on steriods.
i fell a little bit slower, sometimes the game have some kind of lag, but its ok
FM 2008 by far!
Slowly .
reguardless if someone has a powerful machine or a dinasour 09 should be slower. more processes = slower!
google windows update and when you get to site just click update
08 is a lot faster on my laptop
4gb Ram
T9300 core 2 duo 2,5 ghz

With FM08 I could run the best league from all contries with a lage db and the wating time was okay, but with 09 it's just muuuuuch to slow to run the same setup
FM08 ran a lot faster than FM09. It has taken me 13 hours to get to January. :|
They run the same when processing after continuing for me, but loading into the ME takes longer in 09 but understandable.
I didn't play FM08. I had FM07 and with quite an old PC now with 512MB, Pentium 4 2GHz and on Windows XP it ran fine. FM09 is so much slower and is frustrating as it takes 5 mins sometimes to process fixtures. It can't even play with 3D and the 2D is just jumpy. So annoying!!!
That is a seriously dated machine though, Trevez, you can't expect FM releases to stay at the same spec year on year on year.
For me 08 was much faster than 09 is. I also get random black screens and white screens while it's starting a new match or i just finished a match. Could probably be because i'm running it in windowed 1920x1200 resolution.
But back to the point.
08 is, by far, faster than 09 on my computer.
Yes and No.
Faster going through menus for me, but slower going through the match engine.
09 is so slow. It makes me feel better that others are having the same problem. But it takes so long just to get thriugh one week of games. It is starting to be a very big annoyance.
09 = Slooooowwwwwww
08 Definitely
I've been doing a lot of tweaking to my system and I actually find now that 09 runs faster than previous versions, especially the fixture processing. I had some slight UI lag before as well, but that seems to be gone now too.
Loading the 3D of course makes viewing the matches a little bit slower though.
I dont play Matches in 3D but still feel that overall 2008 is faster and more smoother doesnt glitch, freeze for few minutes etc etc.
2009 seems to have too many new features and so much bigger then most systems can handle even with updates and software still seems a bit to much to handle as 2008 was pretty simple and ok.
My laptop isn't even 2 years old and it struggles with FM09 badly whilst FM08 was no problem. In short, you better have a PC if you don't want to be drowned out by the noise of laptop fans.
I'm managing to do fine on my laptop, but then I have a fast hard drive in it and have done some nice tweaks for performance in the power settings and in task manager.
Also, I can't believe the number of people who play with their antivirus auto-protect running or not set to exclude FM files, this slows it down massively as well as being IMO the #1 cause of savegame corruption.
I noticed FM09 is pretty fast EXCEPT when i start a match it gets really slow e.g. takes 15-25 seconds to set up the match, in FM08 it only take 5 seconds or less! So i guess SI balanced it out. But i dont wanna imagine what would happen in 2015?
Integrity may need some tweaking in here
In FM08 you could complete a season MUCH faster.
- Bevor each game there are up to 25s loading times. This is despite the fact that I am not using 3d (removed it in the preferences).
- The 2D on my computer has amazingly low "frame rates". Almost kills the game for me, which is very sad...
- ...this combined with the fact that we now only have one slider to control the match speed this means that matches take much more time to process
- The overall processing speed when calculating games also seems to be lower on my machine (for example when calculating world cup qualification games)
For me FM09 is so slow that it is not much fun anymore. I didn´t have similar problems with FM08 or any of the previous games. So, while my computer certainly is not extremely fast (1,6 GHz Pentium M, 1Gig RAM, Ati X600 graphics card), the additional calculations in FM09 are the main problem.
yeah, slightly faster than fm2008
Its a bit faster than FM08 I've found
Well i originally had a laptop that didn't run the games brilliantly... 2d was very jittery. But i just got a new laptop yesterday and its fast and works really well. If you want best performance then a new machine is best! If your machine is real good it'll be quicker then 08 but if you don't it will feel a lot slower and laggyer! ITs only loading of match that takes a little bit

Well 09 is super slow for me and iv gone back to 08 but well im not complaining. SI has to move forward with the times and advance their games. And 09 is a super super game albeit a little slow.
All i can say is make sure your OS is up to date and stuff :s
What are your specs? I got a gaming laptop lol with a 7200RPM HDD and mines real fast Though i haven't got much time to play but as i'm being made redundant i've been given back the holiday that was supposed to be taken at Xmas so I may take a week off just to play FM
They both run exactly at same speed for me... but at least im someone who upgrades the computer more than once every 6 years.
Quad Core powah
And my specs are : Intel Core2 Quad Q6700 2.66GHz 4GB Ram (3.6 GB Ram in reality)
Geforce GTX 260 896-2291 MB
Display 1920x1200 59Hz
Windows Vista Home Premium
I realize now that i have a different CPU than i thought. Thought it was Q6600 (don't know much about that stuff )
I normally tweak the computer as much as i can so i don't run services i don't need and all that. But it seems like that didn't really make a difference.
I run 6 countries with the lowest divisions on playable in all the countries. Something which is far less than i ran on a CoreDuo 3,06GHZ with 2GB Ram and 7200RPM Harddrive. But that was on Windows XP Home.
I also experience a black (sometimes white) screen everytime i start and finish a match. I take it when it's going in to 3D view and going out from the 3D view.
Any suggestions would be great.
It is slower
i just got the demo working last night and its way to slow for me so wont be buying it.
I don't bother with 3D.
I really enjoy before and after the games - that runs pretty much the same as 08 for me.
But the matches are a pain in the jacksie!
That 3D engine (even thoug I don't use it still loads up) is a mole on the ass of society.
Changing tactics/subs mid match is a royal hassle too - setting up match pause for 10-15 seconds! It's so aggravating!!!!
well funnily enough, on my PC, i found out that fm09 was a lot faster than the previous installment!
And the fact we can have higher resolution as well makes it all the more better
I agree with Eshaan.
FM2009 is a very good game but it's very slow.
Compared to 2008 or 2007.
2007 run so fast on my machine and 2008 was quick but not as quick the previous game. But as i suppose every new game that come comes out on the same machine will eventually start running slow because every new game that comes out needs more processing.
I may go back to 2008 because i quite like that game or try and persevere with 2009.
Other than this I can't complain about processing other games (league, cups, internationalls) but, SI, can you improve just a little bit the thing that has been mentioned here by many of us???

i really thought that it was my laptop that was makin it slow but seems like everyone's on the same boat!
does any1 else think that it doesnt take as long to get through a season??
it seems that thers less to do between games??
I took my fm out of windowed mode and all of a sudden the game quicken up.
It used to take 10 minutes for the clock to play 90 minutes and now it's take 5. I just wondered is it because i took it out of window mode. i could be wrong but all of sudden it is playing quick.
FM09 definitley runs slower than 08 but my PC is a four yr old P4 with only 1.5g of ram so im not gonna start complaining.
I need to buy a new PC anyway but i am a bit concerned that people are saying that 09 runs slower on high end PCs. Anyone got any idea how fast it will run if i get the set up below?
AMD Phenom Quad Core
8gb Ram
64 bit Vista
nVidia 9500 gt 1024mb
^ Pretty quickly but it will still be slower than FM08
Damn! The processing time between days isnt a problem really its going into the tactics screen during the match, it takes about 30 clicks to get anything to happen. Thought it might just be my ancient pc. Gonna buy it anyway and hope the 2nd patch fixes this.
Looks like it is pretty much only with people with quad core processors that are finding the game significantly slower than expected given their specs. hmmmm....
'09 is faster then '07, but slightly slower then '08 (i play with 100+ leagues, all versions). Considering that you are getting something that is playable in comparison to inferior '08(even 07 was better then 08), it's small price to pay.
I got "only" dual-core and 2GB ram , and still running '09 with no problems.
FM 09 is very very slow that i cant enjoy playing it.i wont play Fm 09 anymore and go back to FM 08.
İ have Q6600(3.0 ghz),8800GT,3 gb ram and 500 gb hdd.
That's what happens when you don't code from the ground up and use Java instead. Game can't even take advantage of new hardware. No wonder they don't make a benchmark.
FM09 is definately slower than 08, but not significant enough that it will stop me playing... I'm running around 15 leagues and the slowness is pretty minimal for me. Mainly slow when at the beginning of a match and the 3D is loading.
Just upgraded my pc as 3d wasnt working very well on my machine. Gone from a 128mb graphics card to a 512mb with my p.4 2.8ghz processor and 2gb ram.....3d is watchable but still slightly jerky and it miles above the spec.

FM09 is rapid on mine, its the fastest I have ever had a FM run on my system. I did upgrade to 3 gig though
For me it's a bit slower than the 2008 version.
I'm running three leagues - Premiership, Bundesliga and Serie A.
If you want to improve the game speed then I suggest changing the detail level to 'minimum' (really, who wants to view every single detail of the Olympic or Euro Championship?).
Ticking the 'skin cache' box should also help.
There is also a 'Threading' option in Preferences (refer to manual for more details)
To improve the save / load speed unmark the 'Compress saved games' box.
09 is alot slower for me than 08
Im running the same three leagues as i did in 08 but it lags and it generally slow.
anybody else's heart sink when you get to processing league cup results!
i find it very slow compared to 08 but only some of the time its strange, seems to be very tempremental And im runnin 2gig of ram on xp as well and find it uses a hell of a lot of it up while playing the game!!
Try this for me please when you don't have a job and click on manager overview how long does it take for this screen to load!! For me its literally about 20-30seconds!!! (Only happens when you don't have a club!!)
I am ready to cry when the internation results are being processed!
Put the level detail down to minimum and then it shouldn't take that long to process unnecessary matches - that worked on fm08 - so far I haven't noticed a difference - although I don't use the 3d match engine
The overview screen for me is actually fine. I used to have problems with that on FM08, but so far not on 09.
For me it just seems random when stuff seems to slow down. At the moment it runs fine, but then it starts to lag. Nothing specific like on matcdays (used to be) or other things. Just whenever it wants.
Detail level on my game is all on minimum. So it's not that.
Last edited by roykela; 26-11-2008 at 17:33. Reason: Adding content
the problem with using minimum detail is it screws up your gameworld completely - every low detail match has a red card/injury (often more than one) and it can create some really unrealistic seasons.
Could try that. Playing in the Premier League though.
I'm going to try a little stress-test on my computer now. Loading all possible leagues in Europe as playable and i'm going to put the detail level on minimum and then, a little bit later, on maximum. To see how that goes (speedwise). Tried that on 08 on my CoreDuo and it worked like a charm. Had to fiddle around a little bit with the detail level until i found the acceptable configuration.
86 leagues from 30-something countries. Let's see how it goes. I expect it to be kinda slow.
Well it was kinda slow. It didn't start up at all. So i'm probably not going to do that, then
Very dissapointed with the speed. Have a low spec laptop which i upgraded to 1.5 Ram,and a macbook brand new which is only 2 Gb Ram.
Playing in 2d,although both machines now play 3d. Game set up time pre match is tiresome. English prem and spanish top 2 leagues.asn't going to buy it , but i did, having bought it for many yrs. Feel very indifferent to the new incarnation.
Doesn't flow.

How to Apply VO Where Clause to New Rows
By Sandra Muller on Mar 31, 2006
In this article I describe the solution we found for a problem with Subtype VO's. We had 2 ADF BC View Objects, each representing a different subtype of the database table without extending a supertype VO. The problem was: new rows appeared in the set of both View Objects, even though each new row clearly belonged to only one of the subtypes. The solution is to use the ADF BC RowMatch or RowQualifier to apply in-memory filtering.
If you read the example solution carefully, you will see that the RowMatch applied does not correspond completely to the where clause of that View Object. That is because expressions like "is null" or "is not null" cannot be used in RowMatches. The expression "is not null" can for Number attributes be replaced by something like "Attribute > 0", but I have not found a solution for "is null" yet. If you have a suggestion, please leave a Comment on this post!

Some people plan out their careers meticulously, while others just follow their instincts. Josh Uecker is the latter kind of guy. He was 21 when he got his first taste of bar life. "I was stuck in a job doing electrical work and I suddenly realized how much I hated it," the genteel barman recalls. "A friend of mine was working at The Quarter Bar, and he asked me to fill in one night as barback." The effect was like a bomb going off in Josh's life. "Man, was my mind blown! Even barbacking, it was like being on stage. I loved the fast pace and everything about it." He grins wide and gives the tip of his mustache a twirl. "That's when I realized there was no going back." A decade later, Josh finds himself behind the bar at The Blind Butcher, a buzz-worthy new bar on Greenville Avenue. "What's not to love about this place? We've got specialty cocktails, craft beer, and killer food. It's the perfect trifecta."
What's the best part of the job?
The social interactions. Seeing somebody that's having a bad day, and talking to them and helping them feel better. Maybe getting them to try a beer they've never tried. For a brief moment, you provide an escape for that person. It's great being the frosting on top of someone's day.
And the worst part?
Well, there are the days where you have loose cannons all around you. Like one day at this bar I used to work at, there was a guy going around on all fours smelling women's feet. At times like that, you just have to be calm and collected and say, "Sir, you can't go around smelling feet." It's also tough experiencing the dark side of human nature. Sometimes people can be a little too candid about what they're going through or behave in ways that are ugly. I'm more of the type of person when you go out, you should have a good time. It's crazy that some people just can't get the hang of that.
Tell me about your first day bartending?
I was clueless about everything. I had no idea what bartending would feel like. It's like you're under a spotlight, and it's so fast paced that it's nerve wracking. You've got lines of people at your well and everyone expects something out of you. All that pressure, and me not knowing how to do certain things . . . Man, I hated that feeling. People would look at me and I would just feel incompetent.
What's the craziest thing that's happened to you behind the bar?
There was this anniversary party at a bar I was working at. Or maybe it was a Christmas party, I can't remember. But I do know it was a big group of bartenders. So they decide they were going to set off firecrackers and sparklers in our bar. Like, who does that? So there's the sound going off and there's smoke everywhere and somehow we get them out of the bar and into to the parking lot. Thee next thing I know Dallas Police Department is knocking at the door asking for fire extinguishers because they were outside setting off more fireworks.
What's your hangover cure?
Pedialyte. If you know you're gonna party that night, then go to Walgreen's and get two bottles of the stuff and chug them, then follow it up with a whole bunch of water. It's a trick I learned from another bartender.
Tell me something about you that most people don't know.
I don't like my tattoos. If I had to do it all over again I would never have gotten them. You know, I got them when I was a young bartender, and back then I thought I was going to be some kind of rock star. But now I'm married and I have two kids and the tats just don't seem very practical. I guess I've just grown up.

Does anyone know if it;s possible to get the transcripts for deleted text msgs from the cell phone company?is there anyway they could give such information in any situation?

have you tried to sign up with the cell phone provider's web site? you will need to know the cell number. once there you can get an itemized list of all calls incoming and outgoing..if you find the number you are suspicious about you might be able to get more information from there. good luck.
|View More Posts Ignore
As far as I know, over here, the maximum we can get are the phone numbers to which the texts were sent.. If its a police case or something, the transcripts for the last 2 weeks or so could be released.. But it all depends on the service providers and how long they store the text messages in their servers..
|View More Posts Ignore
Most cell phone providers that I am aware of in my area will not give any information over to anyone without a court order. It invades the account holder's right to privacy. Even the police cannot access cell phone records without a court order.
Some have instituted a newer policy of requiring account owners to register a password with them when they sign the contract for their cellular service. The password is for setting up an online account regarding their cellular service account. If this is an older cellular contract, and you have the person's cell number and SSN, you can set up an online account and password - provided they don't already have one. I was able to do this with my wife's phone a few years ago. The password I chose for her was SLUT. And of course, she knew nothing about it. It was all done online, using my email address, and as far as Verizon knew, she had created the online account.
If you can do that, you can get listings for all of the cellular activity, including incoming and outgoing numbers, and the durations, but I don't think they keep a record of actual content of text messages - they only track the size of the message for billing purposes. However, if you can find someone who knows how to do it, I believe there is a way to retrieve the actual texts from the phone itself, even if they have been erased.
And, of course, even if you managed to do this, none of it would be admissible as evidence in court. You would only be proving things to yourself. In my case, it was enough for me to realize I wasn't crazy, and get an idea of who the guy was (that time) but it was a long way from KNOWING anything.

google sim card reader (((hugs)))

I don't know about text messages, but during the Discovery phase of my litigated divorce, my attorney subpoenaed Verizon for detailed call activity on my stbx's cell phone account. It wasn't rocket science to look at those records and see exactly how much back and forth was going on between him and the OW before he ran away from home. Very damning evidence, I might add.

not all phones use SIM cards - Verizon, for example, does not, they use CDMA. AT&T does use SIM cards, I think Sprint does too.
|View More Posts Ignore
I hope I am not being rude or offensive.. I apologize If I am..
What MorgiesDad said is absolutely right.. I am only going to slightly elaborate on it..
The reason CDMA phones do not have SIM cards is because of the country laws.. Like, I have a CDMA phone and it works using a SIM card.. But in USA, CDMA phones have proprietary handsets by the service providers.. Hence, they do not require a SIM card.. If you want to change the service provider, as far as i know, you will need to buy a new handset..
For CDMA phones, sim cards are called as R-UIM (Re-Useable Identification Module)..
There are various spy software for cell phones too.. If someone is using a cellphone that runs Symbian Series 60 operating system, then there are various softwares to retrieve or "break open" the phone.. OR at least monitor the messages sent/received after the installation.. It could be illegal though.. You have to refer to the national, legal laws..
The operating system info can be found on the outside of the box or in the manual and the website..
Anything you need, you can google it.. including step-by-step procedures and YouTube videos on how to use it..

Thanks raj - that's a great explanation. The only other thing I would stress (again) is that without a court order, anything you find will not be able to be used as evidence in court, unless your name is also on the cellular account. So keep that in mind if you are considering investing any money in doing something like this.

Thanks MorgiesDad.. :))

I bought a SIM card reader and it is a fraud. What has to happen is that the person has to have his phone preprogrammed not to delete the messages from the SIM card. So, if you do like I did, spent 100+ for a sim card reader without my stbx having preprogrammed he SIM card, you get nothing, nothing...of the 400+ text messages between my stbx and the OW...in only two months. I was sooooo anxious to get the content of the messages,,,but alas,,,,it will stay between the both of them. Well, may it stay in their concious.

OLYMPIA FIELDS, Ill. (SMU) - The SMU Mustangs could not gain ground on the leaders during Saturday's second round at the Olympia Fields/Fighting Illini Inviational, and now sit 12th with one round to go.
Bryson Dechambeau leads the Mustangs at four-over par, good for 12th individually.
SMU Head Coach Josh Gregory believes a solid final round will help his team moving forward. The OFCC/Fighting Illini Invitational is just the first of nine regular season tournaments that SMU can look forward to.
"Fortunately, this is the first event of the year," Gregory said. "We will have a lot to learn from this. We need to finish strong tomorrow and move up the board."
No. 1 Alabama holds a large lead on the field heading into Sunday's final round. Live scoring is available here.

A more tone-aware food writer would ask you to forgive them for the simplicity of this recipe. Grilled cheese? You think we need a recipe for cheese + bread + butter in a frying pan? But I won't to because making it this way changes everything. You can't be convinced by the aroma of buttery, toasting, crisping cheese in a hot skillet because you haven't made it yet, but I think that once you experience it — I mean, take a deep drag off the kitchen air and be so happy that you're home again — it will be what keeps you from making grilled cheese any other way again.
I like a hearty country wheat bread here, not too thickly sliced or it's hard for the cheese inside to melt. You may more or less cheese depending on the size of your bread slices, and your tastes.
Yield: 1 sandwich. Scale up to share.
2 slices bread of your choice
2 teaspoons butter, salted or unsalted
1/2 cup (2 ounces) coarsely grated cheddar
Spread butter on one side of each slice of bread, the one that will be on the outside of the sandwich. Scatter all but 2 tablespoons cheese unbuttered side of one slice. Top with second slice, so that the buttered side faces out. Heat skillet over low-to-moderate heat. (I like to use a well-seasoned cast iron frying pan here.) Sprinkle 1 tablespoon cheese roughly in center of skillet. Place sandwich on top. Cook sandwich until golden underneath and cheese browns and crisps, about 2 to 4 minutes. Carefully lift melted (frico-ed) cheese and bread onto spatula, sprinkle remaining spoonful of cheese back in skillet, then flip sandwich over on top of it. Cook on second side until golden and crisp as well, pressing down on it with the spatula to encourage it to all come together.
Transfer to a plate, cut in half if desired, and dig in.
Alternate riffs on the classic: Are you a purist or do you like to put other things on your grilled cheese? I'm a sucker for sweet and sour red onions with a baby Swiss or gruyere cheese (this recipe in the book). But when I'm using classic cheddar, I either like a thin slice of tomato inside my sandwich, or sometimes, like the day I made these, the thinnest schmear of smooth Dijon and a dash of onion powder.
