Police arrested a convicted drug dealer carrying a concealed firearm following a traffic stop Saturday evening.
The incident occurred on November 30, at approximately 7:33 p.m., when Corporal James MacColl and Officer Brandon Mosley observed a silver Nissan Maxima operating with suspended registration in the 500 block of West 9th Street. The officers conducted a vehicle stop and made contact with the three occupants. An investigation determined that the driver, Lekeisha Smith, 23, was operating with a suspended license and had no proof of insurance. Passenger Raheim Hunter initially provided officers with a false name but the officers positively identified him and found that he had active warrant for violation of probation out of Pennsylvania. The officers ordered the occupants to exit the vehicle to make arrests and tow the vehicle. The officers conducted a safety pat down of the third passenger, Akeem Cropper, and located a loaded .38 caliber revolver concealed in his waistband. Cropper is prohibited from possessing firearms due to a prior felony drug dealing conviction.
Cropper was arraigned at Justice of the Peace Court 20 and committed to Howard R. Young Correctional Institution in lieu of $30,000 cash bail.
Hunter was arraigned at Justice of the Peace Court 20 and committed to Howard R. Young Correctional Institution pending extradition to Pennsylvania.
Smith was issued multiple traffic citations and released.

Cohn, Alain; Fehr, Ernst; Herrmann, Benedikt; Schneider, Frédéric (2011). Social Comparison in the Workplace: Evidence from a Field Experiment. Working paper series / Department of Economics No. 07, University of Zurich.
We conducted a randomized field experiment to examine how workers respond to wage cuts, and whether their response depends on the wages paid to coworkers. Workers were assigned to teams of two, performed identical individual tasks, and received the same performance?independent hourly wage. Cutting both team members' wages caused a substantial decrease in performance. When only one team member's wage was cut, the performance decrease for the workers who received the cut was more than twice as large as the individual performance decrease when both workers' wages were cut. This finding indicates that social comparison processes among workers affect effort provision because the only difference between the two wage cut conditions is the other team member's wage level. In contrast, workers whose wage was not cut but who witnessed their team member's pay being cut displayed no change in performance relative to the baseline treatment in which both workers' wages remained unchanged, indicating that social comparison exerts asymmetric effects on effort.

Chicago -- So the New Orleans Saints are 4-0 for only the fourth time in the club's 46-year history. They are one of five unbeaten teams at the quarter pole of the 2013 season.
Raise your foam finger if you saw that coming.
For Saints fans, the season so far has been a month-long bacchanalia. It started with a euphoric last-second victory against archrival Atlanta and has been one rollicking second-line parade ever since.
Visions of a second Super Bowl appearance are dancing in the heads of the Who Dat Nation. The Big Easy in the Big Apple for the Big Game. It's a tantalizing proposition, albeit a premature one at this early stage of the season.
So many questions remain unanswered:
Can the injury-riddled defense continue to hold up against superior opponents?
Can the running game find its footing?
Can this team win on the road like the 2009 Saints?
These questions will be answered in the weeks ahead. We'll know more about the Saints' credibility in the coming days. Road trips to Chicago on Sunday and then Foxboro, Mass., to face the Patriots a week later will tell us all we need to know about the Saints.
If they continue to win, the comparisons to 2009 will be inevitable.
"I'm not going to sit here and compare '09 throughout the year," Saints quarterback Drew Brees said earlier this week, already tiring of the comparison talk. "I mean, I hope we get those questions because that means we're winning."
They still have a ways to go to match the 2009 club that reeled off 13 consecutive wins to start the season. The 1991 team went 7-0 before suffering its first loss. In 1993, the Saints went 5-0 before experience their first setback.
Those Jim Mora-coached teams in 1991 and 1993 dominated defensively but dawdled on offense. They lacked the offensive firepower to contend for a Super Bowl. Trying to compare them to Sean Payton's high-powered units is folly, a gridiron apples-and-oranges conundrum.
So for comparisons sake, let's take a look at how the two 4-0 teams from the Payton/Brees era measure up:
It's almost a dead heat: five checks for 2009, four for 2013 and one draw. The Super Bowl champs were more balanced, deeper and supremely well coached. This year's team is sounder on defense and special teams and might have more potential stars in Graham, Sproles, Jordan and Kenny Vaccaro.
Other similarities exist. Both teams entered the season with low expectations with new defensive coordinators, remade secondaries and new starting left tackles. Both also were motivated by unifying causes.
Four decades of pent-up frustration in the city seemingly propelled the Saints to the title.
The ugly 2012 season and consequent bitterness appear to be having a similar effect on this year's team.
Saints players and coaches loathe discussing the past, especially 2012. They've insisted publicly this team is not driven by last year, but they protest too much.
In a fleeting moment of candor, Graham admitted Monday night the Saints are driven by last season's events. "We came into the season with chips on our shoulders," he said. "Or bricks, you could say."
Whether the motivation was borne out of fear or loathing, it's become a unifying force for the Saints in much the same way the mission to make history did in 2009.
Indeed, if 2006 was about rebirth and 2009 about resurrection, this 2013 Saints' season just might be rooted in redemption.

Thanks to You
Let's get straight to the point: We wouldn't be here if it weren't for You. That's right, You with a capital "Y," the one who's reading this post.
It's You--Patagonia customers, fans of the Tin Shed, regular readers of The Cleanest Line--who deserve the thanks.
Last year, we ran a post expressing our gratitude for the greater grooviness of working for a place like Patagonia. Indeed, it's a privilege to be part of a company that consistently rates in a variety of "Best Places to Work" surveys. When people are asked why they like to work here, answers range from the concrete (on-site daycare, flexible hours and great colleagues) to the ineffable (the personal satisfaction that comes with working for a values-driven company).
One answer that underlies all of these benefits, however, is the customers. When it comes down to it, we can only be here doing what we're doing as long as you want us to. The day our customers decide we no longer offer products or business practices they can believe in is the day we go out of business.
We wouldn't be what we are, who we are, if our customers didn't believe in speaking up for things they care about. The boatloads of questions we receive arrive on a constant stream of criticism. These things force us to continually reexamine our strategies and values.
We also receive some true gifts; gemlike notes that arrive out of the blue and remind all of us why we show up every day to keep doing what we're doing. Today is a good time to share a sample of the good words you've sent us over the past few months, and to offer our humble thanks for making us a part of your journeys.

Do You Have to Pay Taxes on Cashed in Bonds?
Original post by Kathryn Hatter of Demand Media
Investors looking for a safe and secure investment may decide to purchase U.S. savings bonds. Issued by the U.S. Treasury Department, the U.S. government backs both the principal and interest earned from the initial principal. As you consider your investment, remember that you must pay taxes on cashed-in bonds. Because the financial institution that cashes your bond reports the interest earned directly to the Internal Revenue Service, you may face penalties for unreported investment income if you do not pay the taxes correctly.
Step 1
Locate IRS Form 1099-INT. You should receive this form from the financial institution when you cash in the bond, or the institution will mail it to you at the end of the tax year. If you received the form when you cashed the bond, file it with your other tax documents so you can retrieve the information before you fill out your income tax forms.
Step 2
Find the figure in box 3 of the 1099-INT. This figure is the interest you earned during the tax year after cashing in the U.S. bonds.
Step 3
Add the figure from box 3 of form 1099-INT to any other interest income. Transfer this figure to line 8a of tax return forms 1040 and 1040a.
Tips & Warnings
- If the earned interest was less than $10, the IRS does not require the financial institution to issue a 1099-INT. In this case, you still have an obligation to report the interest income, but you must find the interest income amount you earned by checking the paperwork you received when you cashed the bond.

Unless you have a Babci to make them for you from scratch, a quality pierogie-seeker is going to want to either venture to Greenpoint, Brooklyn or their local church for some of these voluptuous treats. If you don't have access to any of the above, it's time to head to the supermarket.
There really is no bad pierogie—that's one of the best things about the dainty ethnic foodstuffs—they're always tops. Pierogies make great meals. They make great desserts. They're wonderful conversation pieces and are sublime for first dates. And pierogies are always in season, whether it be the dead of winter or the sunny days of summer. Beach season is upon us, dear eaters. Bathing suit season is here. A solid dumpling heavy in starch and marinated in butter will surely bring you joy out among the sands.
Those of you who have not experienced a pierogie are surely missing out. And we can't have that, not here, at least. There is a lot of joy crammed within those puppies, and it is a happiness meant to be shared. Pierogies unite cultures. They bring people together: Irish, Polish, Middle Eastern, Italian, Ethiopian, the list goes on and on and on. There's no wrong way to cook a pierogie. And they're so [expletive] good.
Originally, this column was to be titled "Midnight Meat Pies" and consist of me slaughtering six slabs of four-day old Stuffed Meat slices from Phil's Pizzeria in Syosset (leftovers from our "Buy Heroin Here" dinner) that I had brought home from the Press kitchen. The feeding was to have lasted into the early morning hours, involved a heft dose of Law & Order SVU and potentially a mint-chocolate-chip double thick milkshake from Carvel. Alas, 'twas not to be for this column, fellow golumpki foragers. Not this week, at least. Someone had gotten to them before I.
So instead, Tommy D and I stopped off at Waldbaum's and picked up a 24-pack. No, not of Yuengling Black & Tans, but rather, two dozen America's Choice ($1.99 per dozen) Pierogies. Frozen pierogies are one of those great, quick, tasty meals you can cook for your family and friends if you don't have a lot of money but still want a solid food source of sustenance. We mixed up the batch: cheddar cheese and potato and onions.
Tommy D prepared the water, dumping one to two teaspoons of olive oil into a three-quarter-full pot and bringing it to a boil. The olive oil, Tommy explained, keeps the noods from sticking to the walls of the pot and each other. It also brings the water to a boil faster, he explained—an old Italian trick passed down through generations of Ds—something with the molecular structures of olives and water. The olive oil also adds an every-so-slight flavor to the dumps, making for a smooth swallow and preventing the potato-cheese pods from sticking to the sides of the esophagus on the way down.
Pierogies are great boiled or fried. We opted for both, first boiling them then plopping them on a frying pan coated with butter. Flip when browned. Pierogies are also very versatile. They really do go great with nearly everything—carrot slivers, kraut, cucumbers, avocados—but they really go best with a few dollops of fresh sour cream. We happened to have a container of the good stuff—remnants of a homemade taco splurge about a week back. Another story, for another time.
Tommy D, keeping with his family's tradition, prepared a side bowl of tomato sauce to dress the dumplings. We divided the bounty into four plates of six each. And it really did feed four people. (Remember: The pierogies were $1.99 for a dozen.)
My sisters, more pierogie purists than radicals, didn't care too much for the Italian twist to the dish. They stuck with the sour cream. They also couldn't finish theirs and only ate four each—so I picked up their slack and downed a total of 10. I took turns switch-hitting and slather-dunking between the creamy delight of the sour cream and the tangy caress of the sauce. Tommy's poetic license added a new dimension to the experience. The sauce was sweet, flavorful and thick. There were chunks of tomato in there, onions, herbs and the like. It coated the pierogie like a gorgeous, soothing blanket, and I was happy to tug and pull it off. I even mixed some with the sour cream.
Once again, proof, that there really is no wrong way to prepare a pierogie and that the weighty dumps cross ethnic and cultural walls with ease, uniting eaters from across the globe under the shared goal of a quality meal.
In between forkfuls, we spoke of saints and aliens and hospitals and China. We laughed and joked, gulped and slurped. Tommy D shared a rather bizarre and sad story about an old cat that had wandered into his family's business recently to die. A statue of St. Therese overlooked the table. Our dog, Princess Leia (aka Professor Mouskavitch), wanted some pierogie, too. Midway through the feast, one of my sisters cracked open a can of Shasta.
Family, friends and pierogies: What a great way to spend a Saturday night.

"My laundry isn't all that large. I am always looking for tips and advice to make the most of our production space. What general suggestions can you give me about how best to operate in cramped quarters?"COMMERCIAL LAUNDERING: Richard Warren is the general manager of Linen King of Central Arkansas, a commercial laundry that provides COG, rental and linen distribution services for healthcare clients. His experience also includes OPL and industrial laundering, linen supply, and leather/fur cleaning.
The rule of thumb for plant size is one square foot for each pound of laundry processed in a day. Using that measurement, you can get an idea of how you compare with others. This isn't just a problem for "small" laundries, as any laundry can run out of room if space is wasted.
A dryer operator once told me he'd be willing to donate toward the purchase of more carts to hold the dried linen. He was surprised to learn that it was a production problem, not a storage problem. When the production was up to par, there was no more talk about carts. Oftentimes, poor production makes people think they don't have enough room. In reality, the linen is sitting there too long.
This reminds me of Thanksgiving dinner. The room isn't large, but the crowd is. The solution: eat in shifts. The laundry situation may be similar. Only a limited number of people can be around the equipment at any given time.
The initial reaction is to purchase more equipment. But you have no room, so you add second and third shifts. That isn't as bad as it may sound, because your equipment will be accomplishing tasks instead of sitting idle.
You won't need as many machines, but longer hours of operation may make maintenance a bit more challenging.
Another idea is to stagger rest breaks or start times so that your machines continue to operate during rest periods. You're probably doing that with washers and dryers anyway, so the concept isn't foreign.
Are carts of "orphaned" linen or unused equipment still sitting in your plant? Do you have an excessive number of trash containers?
Are linen carts, tools, repair parts, new linen, etc., stored on the same floor level as plant operations? Can you use smaller rewash containers?
Some laundries install a metal roof and store their soiled work outside until it's ready to be sorted. Another twist is using trucks for clean-linen storage. Or you might consider purchasing a couple of tractor-trailers. They're weatherproof, dock-high and can be secured if necessary.EQUIPMENT DISTRIBUTION: Scott McClure is vice president of sales for Pellerin Laundry Machinery Sales, Kenner, La. He was hired as CAD engineer in 1992 and became the Louisiana sales rep in 1996, winning numerous awards while in the post. He became sales manager in 2003 and VP of sales the following year. He oversees sales in a seven-state territory.
Not having enough space is a common problem, particularly in on-premise laundries where space is essential for guest rooms, patient beds, meeting and banquet facilities, etc. The key factor is to implement a proper linen flow.
We recommend two designs whenever possible. The "straight line" approach moves goods from one end to the other and works best in long, narrow, rectangular-shaped laundries. The "U-shaped" design has the soil and clean door/docks on the same side of the laundry, with the linen flowing in a "U" from the soil entrance to the clean exit. This design works best in a more square-shaped laundry.
There are several equipment solutions available when floor space is limited. Soil and/or clean rail systems can significantly increase a laundry's floor space. Proper ceiling height is a challenge. Depending on what equipment the slings are loading, a rail system could require up to 24 feet, particularly if utilization of the space below sling storage is desired.
We have utilized conveyors on the clean side to transport linen from several different towel and sheet folders to one central makeup area. The conveyors help prevent the scattering of employees making up carts in several different confined areas. Conveyors can also be placed against walls to transport linen out of cramped areas.
Some manufacturers produce all-in-one ironer/folder/crossfolders that allow complete high-speed finishing in about half the floor space required by a separate ironer and folder. Utilizing automation, such as continuous-batch washing systems, can also maximize floor space by using equipment instead of employees and carts to transport linen from washing to drying to finishing.
Even choosing the proper carts and linen-storage devices, such as using taller carts, can help overcome tight quarters.

The mayor of Lambeth drew on countless hours of grilling local politicians during laborious council meetings as she turned her interviewing skills on American rock musician Jack White.
Councillor Christiana Valcarcel found herself the centre of attention when, having played his new album Blunderbuss for a crowd of 200 in South Bank County Hall, ex-White Stripes frontman White appeared before a stunned audience and sat down with the Mayor for questioning on Tuesday, March 20.
The Mayor declined to use the prepared questionnaire and asked her own questions, which included grilling the multimillionaire rockstar on his upholstery business.
Coun Varcarcel said: "He said 'yes, he was in the upholstery business in his early life and now he's resurrected it'.
"He turned to the audience and said 'if anyone needs upholstery work he's there to do it'.
"So I said 'as the Mayor, I want some upholstery done and I'm putting in my order now'."
Coun Valcarcel said she was not entirely unused to dealing with musicians, as she was once a music critic on a TV show in Sierra Leone.
"It was called Pop Jury, I was a member of a panel," she said.
"If a record comes out, you say whether it will be a hit or a miss."
The mayor gave White's album Blunderbuss "10 out of 10" and her favourite tracks were 'Love Interruption' and 'Hypocritical Kiss'.
She probed six-time Grammy Award-winning White on the meaning of the latter: "I asked him, 'what do you mean by 'hypocritical kiss''?
"Then I turned to the audience and I said 'have you ever experienced a 'hypocrital kiss'?'"
Coun Valcarcel said she had never experienced such a kiss: "That's why I was asking him to tell me."
Despite turning up for the function in full regalia, the mayor said she hadn't realised White was an internationally successful musician before the meeting.
She said: "I only realised he was a rock star after the event, when I saw all these top ranking music producers were coming to me and saying well done madame mayor, that was a great interview."

Several photos of actor-news anchor Paolo Bediones are now going viral on web, based on a blog entry of fashionpulis.com this morning, July 27, 2014 (Manila time) or this evening, July 26, 2014 (U.S. time), Paolo Bediones was allegedly caught on camera having sex with an unidentified woman.
Aside from his confirmed photos, an alleged sex or private video of Paolo Bediones is also making the rounds online this morning, according to lionheart.tv, said sex video lasts seven minutes and was allegedly taken by Paolo while having sex with a sexy starlet. A few years ago, some observers were questioning Paolo Bediones' sexual preference because of his choosy attitude.
That time; they were suspecting that Paolo was gay, but because of his strong personality, he proved them wrong. He transferred to TV5 from his former home network, GMA-7, the number two TV network that gave him the break in TV hosting. He was one of the popular male TV hosts of GMA-7 before he moved to TV5.
He had a very interesting career in GMA-7 especially when he was still hosting "Extra-Extra" with Karen Davila, Miriam Quiambao and Ethel Booba. Going back to his alleged sex video that continues to spread online, some people are saying that he should call the attention of the NBI and the PNP to trace the uploader of the video that continues to make waves online.
Unfortunately, despite the rumors and issues, Paolo Bediones is still keeping his silence regarding the circulation of the photos and a sex video on the internet. Some observers claim that he will give his statement in due time to confirm or deny the issue. His supporters are hesitant to confirm whether the alleged sex video and explicit photos are authentic or not. How about you, have you already had the chance to watch the sex video of Paolo Bediones?

The New Orleans Saints insisted that they won't be affected one bit by the news that Minnesota Vikings quarterback Brett Favre plans to retire - especially since they won't really believe it until they see it.
"I don't believe anything until it's official," Saints quarterback Drew Brees said, offering a brief reaction as he jogged off the field.
"There's a lot of time between now and Sept. 9," safety Darren Sharper said, referring to the nationally-televised Week 1 opener between the Vikings and Saints in the Superdome, which will almost certainly be dampened by Favre's absence.
"I haven't seen the film where he's said it ... and we've also seen the film where he's said it and he came back," said veteran defensive end Alex Brown, who spent the last eight years as Favre's rival with the Chicago Bears. "So hey, let's see. If he's not there Thursday night, that's when I'll believe it."
Brown did admit that as a competitor, he would "absolutely" prefer to face Favre.
"If this is it, and he does hang it up, it will definitely be a loss to the NFL," Brown said. "We'll be losing a really, really great player and a legend to this sport."
But he and the rest of his teammates and coaches said it won't affect their preparation over the next five weeks leading up to the game.
"I'm just worried about our team right now," said Saints Coach Sean Payton, who said he figured Favre's return was a "50-50" proposition this year. "Obviously, if he's playing, his presence on the field, you have to account for. If he's not, you have to prepare for who's playing in his place."
Saints defensive coordinator Gregg Williams wasn't available for comment Tuesday, which is too bad since he's been playfully goading Favre at times during camp - joking the other day that he's the only player in the NFL who can step in on Week 1 without needing training camp to get ready.
But Williams and his attacking defense will forever be linked to Favre if he doesn't return, since they pummeled him so physically in that NFC Championship Game.
Defensive end Bobby McCray, who landed the most punishing shot on Favre's ankle in that game, among some others, said he doesn't personally take any pride in being the guy who forced Favre into retirement. But he said the defense as a whole will take pride in winning that hard-fought game.
"As a defense, we got after them and they got after us," McCray said. "It was a great game, and the main thing was we came out with a win and went to the Super Bowl. You take pride in tough divisional games like that, to reach your goal."
McCray said you never want to see any player's career come to an end because of an injury. But other than that, he said he has no preference whether or not Favre will be on the field Sept. 9.
"I don't have a choice, and I don't care," McCray said. "They'll figure it out, and we'll just come to play."

Narrow year range (drag arrows to filter):
2015 marks the arrival of the second generation of 911 GTS variants. Available in rear-wheel drive and all-wheel drive, as well as coupe or cabriolet form, 2015 Porsche 911 GTS models pack 430 horsepower and slot between the Carrera S and hard-core GT3. For those keeping score, they raise the 911 model count to 19.
Now in their seventh generation, the all-new 911 Turbo and Turbo S variants join the roster for 2014. With some big shoes to fill, the 2014 Porsche 911 Turbo and Turbo S aim to reaffirm their benchmark status among the world's finest sub-exotic sports cars.
For 2013, the all-wheel-drive (AWD) Carrera 4 models (4 and 4S, in both coupe and cabriolet bodies) migrate to the new longer-wheelbase, seventh-generation platform (designated 991) introduced last year on the rear-drive Carrera models. Only the Turbo models remain on the previous (997) architecture.
The Carrera Coupe and Cabriolet and Carrera S Coupe and Cabriolet versions of the 2012 Porsche 911 bring forth numerous efficiency-focused technologies: a new electro-mechanical steering system that runs only when power boost is needed, an auto stop/start system that shuts off the engine at stoplights, a "sail" feature that allows the engine to idle when coasting downhill, and the first 7-speed manual transmission used in a passenger car.
The biggest news for the base 911 and its Turbo sibling is that buyers can now enjoy Bluetooth hands-free calling and a universal audio interface for a variety of MP3 players as standard equipment. Those convenience features were previously cost options.
No major changes to the Porsche 911 for 2010.
Changes made to the Porsche 911 for 2009 include modest exterior alterations and new LED-running lights. The biggest changes occur under the boot where heavily revised engines and a new twin-clutch transmission help the 911 keep pace with the march of advancing technology.
All 911 models offer a new sport bucket seat with folding backrest. The recommended service interval for oil changes is raised to 12,000 miles, while spark plug replacement is recommended every 36,000 miles.
In a largely carryover year, all 911 Carreras gain a standard tire pressure monitoring system. Meteor Grey Metallic paint and restyled 19-inch Turbo-design alloy wheels join the options list, while the available navigation system adds maps for Mexico and Puerto Rico.
After half a century in existence, the Porsche 911's profile is iconic and its handling has set the benchmark for a legion of rivals that range from the venerable
Chevrolet Corvette to up-and-comers like the
Jaguar F-Type. Over the years, Porsche has taken evolutionary vs. revolutionary steps, gradually increasing the capability and civility of this rear-engine
coupe and
convertible. The approach has paid off, with today's 911 boasting exceptional performance and refinement. Now encompassing nearly 20 models, the
2015 Porsche 911 selection spans from the "base" $85,000 rear-wheel-drive Carrera coupe to the nearly $200,000 Turbo S all-wheel-drive cabriolet. There are a dizzying amount of 911s to keep track of, so here's a breakdown of models and their base prices. No matter which you choose, you'll get an iconic sports car with power and provenance.
Porsche 911 Carrera, starting at $85,295
This "base" 911 is still a world-class sports car. Powered by a 350-horsepower 3.4-liter flat-6 engine, it can hit 0-60 mph in as little as 4.2 seconds.
Porsche 911 Carrera 4, starting at $92,025
The "4" represents all-wheel drive, which enhances traction. Otherwise this model uses the same powertrain as the base Carrera.
Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet, starting at $97,195
All the goodness of the Carrera coupe, but in open-air convertible form.
Porsche 911 Carrera S, starting at $99,895
The "S" signifies more power and a larger 6-cylinder engine, in this case 400 horsepower from 3.8 liters.
Porsche 911 Targa 4, starting at $102,595
The Targa has a sophisticated system that automatically tucks the mid-portion of the roof behind the fixed-glass rear window. This base Targa comes with all-wheel drive and the 350-horsepower, 3.4-liter engine.
Porsche 911 Carrera 4 Cabriolet, starting at $103,925
This 911 marries all-wheel drive for confidence in all seasons, and a convertible top to drop when those seasons are ripe for naturally breezy motoring.
Porsche 911 Carrera 4S, starting at $106,625
This 911 coupe adds all-wheel-drive performance to the additional power of the Carrera S.
Porsche 911 Carrera S Cabriolet, starting at $111,795
The more-powerful Carrera S in rear-wheel-drive, convertible form.
Porsche 911 Carrera GTS, starting at $115,195
The newest member of the 911 family extracts yet more horsepower – 430 – from the naturally-aspirated 3.8-liter engine and boasts other performance hardware.
Porsche 911 Targa 4S, starting at $117,195
This Targa variant boasts the more powerful 3.8-liter 6-cylinder of the S models and all-wheel drive.
Porsche 911 Carrera 4S Cabriolet, starting at $118,525
The extra horsepower of the S models, the all-wheel-drive system of the 4, and the soft-top convertible of a Porsche 911 Cabriolet, all wrapped in one vehicle.
Porsche 911 Carrera 4 GTS, starting at $121,895
This 911 model adds all-wheel drive to the more potent, 430-horsepower 3.8-liter engine.
Porsche 911 Carrera GTS Cabriolet, starting at $127,095
Rear-wheel-drive GTS performance meets open-top cruising in this 911 variant.
Porsche 911 GT3, starting at $131,395
Made for the racetrack – but legal on the street – the GT3 boasts a 475-horsepower naturally aspirated 3.8-liter engine, track-ready chassis, and high-performance hardware. This is a hard-core 911 for those who'd take the Nurburgring over Rodeo Drive.
Porsche 911 Carrera 4 GTS Cabriolet, starting at $133,795
All-wheel-drive traction, GTS power and a convertible top make this new 911 another standout.
Porsche 911 Turbo, starting at $152,095
With one magic word – "turbo" – the 911 becomes a supercar. Applied to its 3.8-liter 6-cylinder, the 911 Turbo unleashes 520 horsepower and grants 0-60 mph blasts in as little as three seconds flat. All-wheel drive and a PDK automatic transmission are standard.
Porsche 911 Turbo Cabriolet, starting at $163,995
All the joys of the 911 Turbo, in sun-worshipping form. Better hang on to your hat.
Porsche 911 Turbo S, starting at $183,695
Currently the most powerful 911, the Turbo S packs 560 glorious horsepower. Needless to say, its performance must be experienced to be believed.
Porsche 911 Turbo S Cabriolet, starting at $195,595
The most powerful 911, now playing in open-air form. Also the most-expensive model in the 2015 911 lineup. Need we say more?

Pros: "Fun to drive - Truly sporty- comfortable"
Cons: "No heads up display or lane departure warning"
Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10
"Traded 2012 BMW 650I for this baby with NO regrets. This car out performs any car I've driven. It's comfortable, newly designed, very smooth,great options, elegantly beautiful,practical for everyday driving. Hands down the most solid car I've owned. No heads up display option but I'll learn to live without it. Console & controls directly in reach making it remarkably easy to utilize, comfortable 14 way adjustable seats. Interior and exterior lighting options are convenient for exiting when dark, adaptable lighting shifts automatically, hugs the road,electronic steering feels great to me. Performance is amazing! Porsche kept with that ever so lovely engine sound that is unmistakable but changed almost everything else in this generations 911 S ( compared to the 2010 ) LOVE MY NEW CAR! The only reason I gave it a 9 out of 10 is because it is missing a few options I'd like."

Pros: "performance, sound, looks"

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 6
"This is the third 911 I've purchased new. My previous was a 2010 997 with PDK (by Aisin). I sold it at 73,000 miles. I had many electrical and mechanical problems during warranty and post warranty. EGV replacement took 45 days (45 days at dealer), excessive oil consumption with no improvement, window regulator failure, NAV system failure, ABS failure, numerous check engine lights, and leaking sunroof. The only part that didn't fail was the PDK and lighting. Interestingly, those two are made in Japan. The new 2015 I bought has been almost the same amount of problems, thus far. Last November, I lost power during a highway drive. Turned out three cylinders failed and I was driving a three-banger. The repair took over 20 days. This is a great performer and looker but comes with its problems."

"Just bought my first Porsche- 2014 911 4S Cabriolet. So far it's the best car I've ever owned. I have a Mercedes GL and a BMW X5 as daily drivers, have owned 3 of each brand in the past, but neither company ever had the same quality as this Porsche. PDK Transmission, Heated-A/C Ventilated Seats, Touch Screen HD Audio/Navigation, Windscreen with the push of a button, Sport Packages, Keyless Entry and Startup, all are must haves for the experience! Step up and don't skimp on options or you'll be sorry. Quality soft top makes it an easy to clean car (Tip- just wax the wheels to rinse off brake dust). Don't forget to buy a battery tender, you'll need it if it's a weekend only driver."

No. 21 Texas Tech Tops No. 28 Oklahoma, 6-1
Samantha Adams pulled a pair of upset wins to lead Texas Tech past Oklahoma, 6-1, on Sunday.
March 17, 2013
LUBBOCK, Texas – No. 21 Texas Tech extended its home winning streak to 13 straight matches with a 6-1 win over No. 28 Oklahoma on Sunday in the Lady Raider's Big 12 Conference opener at the McLeod Tennis Center.
"I felt like this was a good way to open conference play," said Texas Tech head coach Todd Petty. "We came out really focused in doubles. I think what it shows is that hard work pays off."
Texas Tech won its 13th doubles point in 14 tries this season, as the Lady Raiders swept the Sooners at all three positions.
It started at No. 3, where the senior duo of Elizabeth Ullathorne and Caroline Starck cruised to an 8-2 win over Mia Lancaster and Abi Melrose. The No. 61 tandem of Nikki Sanders and Rashmi Teltumbde were not far behind, as the upended the OU team of Emma Devine and Whitney Wofford, 8-5, to earn the point.
But there was still one match on the court and it was a battle. The No. 14 combo of Herman Brhane and Whitney Ritchie had built a 7-4 lead on the No. 34 tandem of Samantha Adams and Kenna Kilgo, the defending No. 1 Big 12 position champions. Tech's duo won the next game, broke serve and won again. All of a sudden, it was 7-7 and a tiebreaker enued. Adams and Kilgo had the momentum at this point and won the tiebreaker, 7-3, and the match, 8-7, to sweep doubles.
Ullathorne made easy work of Melrose, 6-4, 6-2, while Sanders used a second-set tiebreaker over Devine to pull out a 6-2, 7-6 (8-6) win and give Tech a quick 3-0 lead.
Oklahoma's Lancaster upset No. 118 Kilgo, 6-4, 7-6 (7-5) at No. 3, to cut into Tech's lead, 3-1, but Teltumbde answered with a straight set, 6-3, 6-4 win over Ritchie at No. 2, to secure the Texas Tech win. It was the first time Ritchie had lost to Texas Tech. She was 3-0 against the Lady Raiders entering Sunday's match.
Starck recorded career win No. 87 with a three-set victory over Wofford, 4-6, 6-2, 6-4 at No. 5 to extend the Lady Raider lead to 5-1. Her 87 wins are the most by any Lady Raider over the last 25 years. She ranks eighth on the career wins list and needs eight wins to move into a tie for seventh with former Lady Raider Lisa Roberts (1983-87, 95 wins).
Adams grinded out an upset win to close out the match, as she knocked off No. 106 Herman Brhane, 6-7 (2-7), 6-3, 7-6 (7-4).
The No. 21 Lady Raiders return to action on Friday, as the host Big 12 newcomer West Virginia at 6 p.m. at the McLeod Tennis Center.

When you think of a Shakespearean play you don't think of 43 actors on stage bursting into an Indian dance.
For four nights in November, under the direction of Danyelle Dunavold, Irvine High School students did just that when they performed "Much Ado About Nothing" in a Bollywood style.
More than 600 people attended the Irvine High Theatre Arts production, which was held in the school's theater.
The lead roles went to Preston Fox, Tessa Alleman, Dan Keilbach, and Caitlyn Rinard.
The three-act production "represented Indian culture and tradition in a method that would complement the plot of the play," said Zerkxis Bhandara, who wrote the Dramaturge's note that appeared in the program.
Bhandara explained that this Shakespearean play lent itself to a Bollywood production because the power struggle of the main characters (Beatrice and Benedick) and the young love of Hero and Claudio – which both resulted in marriages – echo the drama and ideology of Bollywood movies.
"It's always been a dream of mine to do this," said Dunavold, who is in her second year at Irvine High School, of the Shakespearean Bollywood production.
Dunovald said the next production – "The Wizard of Oz" – will be in March.
"We will be auditioning local elementary school students to cast as the munchkins," she said.

Problem is that the Customs folk don't just arbitrarily start enforcing the trademark, they have to have a complaint from the trademark holder, so Fluke is really at fault here.

As far as the chipsets, the datasheet says it supports GPS L1 and GALILEO systems. Only the LEA-6N and LEA-6H support those. But that's just an educated guess. It would be nice to find some more documentation though.

65-and-over group gives most
September 25, 2000
The 65-and-older age group allocated more of their expenditures to cash contributions in 1998 than other age groups did. "Cash contributions" include cash given to persons outside of the household, charities, churches, and other organizations.
Cash contributions by households headed by someone aged 65-and-older amounted to 6.2 percent of their total expenditures in 1998. This figure is about twice as high as the 2.9 percent given by the 35-to-64-year-old group and over three times as high as the 1.8 percent given by the under-35 age group.
Not only is the share allocated to cash contributions highest for the 65-and-over group, but the level also is. This group contributed $1,529 on average in 1998, compared with $1,232 for the 35-to-64 group and $536 for the under-35 set.
These data are a product of the Consumer Expenditures Survey program. Additional information is available in "Spending Patterns By Age," Issues in Labor Statistics (PDF 33K), Summary 00-16, August 2000.
Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S. Department of Labor, The Economics Daily, 65-and-over group gives most on the Internet at http://www.bls.gov/opub/ted/2000/sept/wk4/art01.htm (visited June 26, 2016).

Play up to 32 players online in dogfight and in cooperative modes depending on your internet connection.
When flying a multi-engine aircraft, you have an option to control its engines separately. The engine control routines have been reworked and expanded for the Forgotten Battles.
Throttle control remains essentially the same it was prior to Forgotten Battles. Yet now you may push it farther than Combat Power (100%) to force your engine into the War Emergency Power (Emergency) mode (up to 110%).
A number of aircraft modeled in the game have special systems allowing an engine to gain advanced performance over a short period of time.
IL-2 Sturmovik and IL-2 Sturmovik: Forgotten Battles are not compatible with each other when playing online.
