Stubbed Tow
Mebrat Belay Yeazizw came to Minneapolis from Ethiopia 11 years ago and has great difficulty speaking English. The fact that her native tongue, Amharic, isn't commonly spoken on Twin Cities street corners undoubtedly had something to do with the problem she confronted one evening this past fall. But the language barrier appears to have been just one element of a racial and cultural divide that continues to grow between immigrants like Yeazizw and city authorities.
On Saturday, September 22, Yeazizw (pronounced YAH-zih-zoo) and her friend Almaz Tesema visited Karmel Square, an African mall that's a popular gathering spot for the local Somali population. Neither woman had been to the mall before, so it took a few trips around the block to locate the cluster of storefronts near the intersection of West Lake Street and Pillsbury Avenue South. But they eventually reached their destination and embarked on a shopping expedition.
A few hours later, when they returned to the lot where they'd parked, they spotted a tow truck. Fearing that her red Geo Prizm was about to be towed, Yeazizw raced to the car and pulled out of her space. She did not get far. When she'd arrived she had failed to notice that she was parking in a lot that belonged to a Walgreens drugstore, and the towing company that patrols the lot on behalf of the store had immobilized her car with a metal "boot."
What happened next resulted in the 39-year-old Yeazizw being arrested on the spot and spending several hours in a jail cell. She now faces multiple charges (some of which are gross misdemeanors): attempted assault on a peace officer, obstruction of the legal process, disorderly conduct, and failure to obey the order of a police officer.
According to the Minneapolis Police Department's report about the incident, Ofcr. Linda Chaplin was working off-duty at the lot, observing as cars were towed away. Chaplin states that when Yeazizw returned to the lot she refused to pay the towers the "drop fee" to get her car back. Instead, although Chaplin advised her not to, Yeazizw began driving away, toward a "crowd of people who were standing in the driveway." At this point, the report states, Chaplin ran after the car and ordered Yeazizw to stop, then reached into the car to turn off the ignition. "[She] punched me and continued to try to drive off," reads the report. "At this point I grabbed her by her hair and held her until help arrived."
Yeazizw's attorneys, Jill Clark and Jill Waite, assert that their client--who was grabbed by her hair, yanked from her car, dosed with pepper spray, and arrested--assaulted no one. In response to the officer's claim that Yeazizw posed a danger to pedestrians, they point out that her booted car could not possibly have moved fast enough to injure anyone. They also say that when Yeazizw first saw the tow truck, she approached the off-duty officer and asked whether her car had been ticketed, and the officer said no.
Though the complaint in the court file states that 15 to 20 people gathered to watch the incident, Clark says police failed to interview or get contact information from any witnesses. (Clark has obtained a sworn affidavit from Yeazizw's friend Tesema supporting her version of events.) The attorneys believe the charges against Yeazizw should be dismissed for lack of evidence. Further, they allege in a motion filed in Hennepin County District Court that the towing company, Gopher Towing Inc., failed to properly post signs and information explaining the parking regulations and was purposely targeting Somali immigrants.
Gene Buell, owner and president of Gopher Towing, says his company does not discriminate against Somalis, or any other group. "Absolutely not," he asserts, pointing out that his crews work on behalf of their clients. "We target limit-testers of any race, nationality, or income level." Buell does concede that the signs in the lot did not state the fees for towing or booting. That regulation is a new one, he explains; while he knew the city had discussed adding the requirement, he was unaware that it had been passed into law when the incident took place. (According to the Minneapolis City Clerk's Office, the change passed on September 14 of last year and took effect, coincidentally, on September 22. As of last week, the signs in the Walgreens lot still did not comply with the new laws.)
A hearing on the motion is scheduled for February 22. Mary Ellen Heng, an assistant city attorney for Minneapolis, is working on a response to Clark and Waite's motion. "From the state's standpoint, we have most of the facts I need and feel there's enough there to proceed with the charges that have been brought," says Heng. "The case was handled fine by the police. We have enough probable cause to go forward with the prosecution."
Yeazizw's attorneys contend that her case touches on a deeply imbedded institutional racial bias. "At the end of the day we're convicting a lot of black people," Clark sums up, citing a 1993 report by the state supreme court's task force on racial bias in the judicial system. "We've got to start looking at all parts of the system and see where we're going wrong."
With incidents like the one in the Walgreens lot, the issue goes beyond race: It includes cultural and language barriers that can prove difficult to surmount. These issues are familiar to Clark and Waite, who have represented other African immigrants in similar discrimination cases (see "A Matter of Principle," August 8, 2001)--and who are representing Yeazizw in a separate pending case against her former employer and the Edina Police Department. (In that matter they allege that Yeazizw was discriminated against by her employer, then abused by police and by employees of the Hennepin County Jail.)
Clark acknowledges that some people may be quick to doubt her client because she's claiming discrimination in not one, but two cases. "Looking at it from the side of the prosecutor, they say, 'She's clearly guilty of this, because she's accused in another city.' First we have a problem of being guilty until proven innocent," says the attorney. "This is what happens to the disenfranchised--it's a societal snowball effect. That's a high point of her cases: It highlights that issue."
Officials within the Minneapolis Police Department agree that cultural differences can sometimes pose problems between cops and the people they encounter. "The biggest challenge for law enforcement in Minneapolis is the different immigrant cultures and making sure we provide them with information," ventures Sharon Lubinski, commander of the Minneapolis Police Department's Third Precinct. "On the street it's less controlled, unpredictable, don't know which person you're dealing with. That's very, very difficult to deal with."
Lubinski is not familiar with Yeazizw's case, which took place in another precinct, and she emphasizes that she's in no position to judge what transpired. But she has had considerable experience in dealing with immigrant populations, especially East Africans. About three years ago, when Lubinski worked in the downtown precinct, she noted a wave of run-ins between police and East Africans. She helped the department get a federal grant to hire a Somali crime-prevention worker. "They were coming from a totally different culture and didn't understand the American criminal-justice system," Lubinski explains. "And the Minneapolis Police Department didn't have a good understanding of their culture, either."
The grant allowed the MPD to hire Ahmad Hassan, who serves as a liaison between the police and the Somali population. "I wish I had six of him," Lubinski says of Hassan, who helped develop information for Somalis regarding the 911 system and traffic stops. Lubinski says hiring Hassan--whose job is now a permanent part of the MPD's budget--is a step in the right direction, as are similar outreach efforts to Minneapolis's growing Russian, Southeast Asian, and Latino populations. "We take police officers from society, and there are a lot of biases in society," she says. "But police officers have a much greater obligation to act without bias. We have the power to arrest, to take people to jail--in certain situations, to use deadly force. We have to make sure that whatever action we take is based on the actions of the person, not just the race and background of the person."
Elements of the state's judicial system have improved overall, says Minnesota State Public Defender John Stuart, but there's still a long way to go. "A perpetual commitment is needed to improve this situation," says Stuart. "The question is: Does Minnesota have an honest commitment to having a high-quality justice system? A hallmark of a high-quality justice system is to keep responding to new groups of people and their needs."

Top 5: Dating Tips From George ClooneyThis article is sponsored in part Paco Rabanne (What's this?)
Any guy that wants to be more successful with women should start by being more like George Clooney. And no, we don't mean you need to get rich, make yourself famous or start being improbably handsome. There's more to Clooney than good looks and a big bank account. He's got charisma, style, class, and a host of other traits worth emulating.
Clooney was twice named People's sexiest man alive, once in 1997 and again in 2006 -- almost 10 years apart -- and we don't think it's just because the man is good-looking. Clooney's staying power can be attributed to his demeanor and his behavior, both things regular guys can imitate to make themselves more attractive to women. Take a look at these top five dating tips from George Clooney.

Don't let Piglet get to you.
Get a book. I had "Your pregnancy, week to week" from target. I still refer to it instead of flooding the BB with questions.
Also, everyone is different in their pregnancies. A PP said she lost her breast tenderness, and MS but maybe I will still be throwing up. You never know.

Taylor_Renee everyone's pregnancy is different but every now and then I have a lot of tailbone pain and my stomach has started to actually poke out a little more. I am also starting to sleep a little bit better. Not everyone enjoys reading books so I can understand why you'd want some answers from "real people".

yeh I prefare to get real womens experiences than reading in books must admit x
due any day :)
Months 4, 5, & 6 you're pretty much just on cruise control! You'll get a little bit bigger, but not as big as you'll get in the final trimester. In fact in the 2nd trimester I sometimes forget I'm even pregnant, because you pretty much feel back to "normal". I felt that way with DD and it's been the same so far this time around as well.
The rollar coaster, for me anyways, begins in the third trimester - you start getting bigger, may be uncomfortable, have Braxton Hicks, round ligament pain, have to go pee a lot, may cry more often, and start nesting... so enjoy the second trimester while it lasts! :)
Mommy to Bella ~ 5/21/2010 & Natalie ~11/18/11
Books like WTE ARE from real women's experience, actually all the books are. Because the books are about what happens to us during pregnancy. And we're all women so the books are based on real women's experiences. So reading in a book is actually much more informational than asking random women online AND it's from real women! Plus there are a gazillion websites out there with the same info. Google "what to expect during fourth month" and you don't even have to finish typing to get the results you need from a ton of reliable websites with REAL EXPERIENCES FROM WOMEN! Woohoo. They don't put random crap in books that don't happen to real women... so. I don't really get that statement.
- Sarah - S-8/8/08 8 lbs! B-10/22/09 T - 11/21/11 Miscarriages 8/07, 10/10 12/10.
When I was a FTM these BBs did NOTHING for me. Too many variables, too many different women with too many different answers. Most of the women were high risk or older and had complications.
I never asked questions on here unless it couldn't be answered by my books, which was NEVER.

Frog-eating behavior of wild black-capped capuchin (Cebus apella)

We know the capuchin (Cebus apella) is an omnivorous monkey; we have a considerable amount of information given by native hunters that it feeds on small-sized species of amphibians and reptiles, young birds and birds' eggs, as well as various kinds of fruit and insects. However, how the monkey discovers, captures, and eats such food has not yet been reported. Neither has it been reported that the capuchin feeds on certain species of them purposely, not accidentally.
The capuchin observed by the author fed on a kind of frog (Hylidae), which inhabits Guadua (Bambusa guadua) and each individual used the same method to discover, capture, and eat the frog. It can be suggested that the behavior in such a series are adaptive ones which guarantee the capuchin a constant supply of frogs.

Low Budget Wins the Day
'The Hurt Locker' Edges Out Blockbuster 'Avatar' in Oscars; No One Film Dominates
In a David-and-Goliath style showdown, "The Hurt Locker" became the lowest-grossing film ever to win the Oscar for best picture, beating out the most successful movie in history, "Avatar" for the film industry's highest honor.
The 82nd Academy Awards included numerous changes, big and small, designed to appeal to a broader audience than usual. Despite the effort to make it an everyman's Oscar ceremony, the top prize ultimately went to "The Hurt Locker," a film which has grossed just over $19 million world-wide.
"The Hurt Locker" and "Avatar" came into the awards with nine nominations apiece. "Hurt Locker" went home with six, including best director for Kathryn Bigelow, the first time a woman has taken that prize. "Avatar" won three, all related to the film's visuals.
Notwithstanding the face-off between "Avatar" and "The Hurt Locker," the awards managed to acknowledge numerous films, ranging from "The Blind Side" to "The Young Victoria."
"Precious" emerged as the night's little film that could, taking home a pair of prizes, including best adapted screenplay, a category in which it upset front runner "Up in the Air." Other surprise wins included best foreign film, in which "The Secret in Their Eyes" of Argentina beat out front runners "A Prophet" and "The White Ribbon;" and "The Blind Side," whose Sandra Bullock beat out Meryl Streep for best actress.
Some show changes were subtle. Presenters announced prizes by saying "The winner is…," instead of the more anodyne customary line "The Oscar goes to…." But the biggest shift was that the Academy doubled the number of best-picture nominees to ten. The last time the Oscars featured ten nominees, in 1943, "Casablanca" won.
"The industry has become about big films and small films," said Ashok Amritraj, a film producer and chairman of Hyde Park Entertainment. "But because the studios are spending so big on their blockbusters, it's so easy these days for smaller films to get lost."
Independent films have become more of a gamble for Hollywood, as financing has dried up and studios ramp up the amount they spend to promote their sure-fire blockbusters.
"You have to spend so much more just to get an audience to find your film," Mr. Amritraj added. "It's a miracle that a film like 'The Hurt Locker' can still break through the competition to get the attention of an audience—and in this case, it happens to be a very important audience: academy voters."
Expanding the best-picture-nominees field was just one attempt to catch fire with a broader public. When "Titanic" won in 1998, the Oscars had around 55 million viewers. That number has steadily fallen, and last year only 36.7 million watched "Slumdog Millionaire" take home the best picture statuette. That was an improvement on 2008, when the even-less-glamorous "No Country for Old Men" took the top honor.
Instead of the usual performance of each best original song nominee, the show included only brief snippets of each song, a move that was designed to speed up the program and make room for descriptions of the additional best-picture contenders.
The show slimmed down the usual lengthy self-congratulating among film-industry insiders. The lifetime-achievement award, usually a lengthy presentation during the telecast, was instead bestowed in a separate ceremony, of which just a few snippets were shown. B-movie king Roger Corman was the recipient of this year's prize.
Some such elements remained intact. The traditional homage to dead members of the film making community featured a performance by James Taylor, singing the Beatles' "In My Life." And Molly Ringwald and Matthew Broderick took the stage to narrate a lengthy homage to director John Hughes, who died last year.
The program also featured a montage paying tribute to horror movies like "Jaws" and "Nightmare on Elm Street"— films are often much more popular than the highbrow fare that wins Oscars. Breakdancing-inspired choreography accompanied the nominations for best score.
Announcing the best makeup nominees, Ben Stiller appeared on stage with his face painted blue like the alien characters from "Avatar."
"This seemed like a better idea in rehearsals," Mr. Stiller joked. "I will try to stand as far away from [the winners] as possible so as not to demean their moment of triumph." The prize went to "Star Trek."
Despite the measures used to speed up the program, cohost Steve Martin could not resist poking fun at the length of the show. "'Avatar' now takes place in the past," Mr. Martin cracked as the show wrapped up.

Putting Money Where Their Minds Are; Where Scientists Gather, Wagering Flourishes
By JAMES GLANZ
Published: August 25, 1998
AFTER escaping Germany within months of Hitler's rise to power in 1933 and wandering the world separately for 15 years, Maurice and Gerson Goldhaber were ready for the most ordinary of brotherly relationships when they reunited as particle physicists in the United States. So when Gerson was engaged in the experiment of his life, racing to discover a speck of antimatter called the antiproton, Maurice did what just about any scientist in a close family might do: He bet a colleague $500 that the antiproton did not exist.
Far from showing disloyalty, Dr. Goldhaber was merely carrying on a noble tradition -- wagering on the outcome of scientific questions -- that seems as pervasive in labs, observatories and supercomputer centers as pools on college basketball tournaments are in office parks and machine shops.
The tradition was already alive when titans like Johannes Kepler and Isaac Newton were setting the foundations of modern science -- and making bets.
This century's savants have ponied up on everything from the properties of matter's tiniest building blocks to the fate of the entire universe. The stakes generally range from a few dollars to a few hundred dollars, often in the form of pricey dinners or expensive liquor -- and in at least one instance, 100 gallons of gasoline.
''Many bottles of the finest champagnes and malt whiskies, and even more esoteric stakes, rest in abeyance while observers struggle to count rare photons from remote galaxies,'' wrote Dr. James Peebles of Princeton University and Dr. Joseph Silk of the University of California at Berkeley in the journal Nature a few years ago.
Such bets are ''a way to focus attention on what are the really key issues,'' Dr. Peebles said in an interview. Others think that because scientific betting is as common as shooting craps in a Damon Runyon story, the custom must say something important about physical research.
''There's often a stereotype that scientists are out to create a ground plan of the universe and that they believe their theories with religious fervor,'' said Dr. Robert P. Crease, a philosopher of science at the State University of New York at Stony Brook. ''Bets are interesting, because they reveal the game-like quality with which scientists often approach their work.''
But others are far from seeing anything so significant in scientific bets. Dr. Margaret Geller, an astronomer at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, called them ''sort of disgusting.'' She said, ''It has always struck me as one of the rather unsophisticated macho aspects of these fields.''
Added Sir Martin Rees, an astrophysicist at Cambridge University, ''I actually think it is rather frivolous to make them.'' In a scientific disagreement, professional reputations are the stakes that count, he said.
Maybe so, but the scientific tote board lights up with remarkable frequency. For decades at the old Bell Laboratories (now part of Lucent Technologies) in New Jersey, a betting ''book'' lay in the tearoom, where scientists gathered for discussions each day at 4 P.M., recalled Dr. Pierre Hohenberg, a physicist who is now a deputy provost at Yale University. ''A few of us were ideologically inclined to say that arguments should end up with a bet,'' Dr. Hohenberg said. ''Talk is cheap.''
The handwritten, laboratory-style notebook recorded bets on highly technical subjects like competing explanations for superconductivity, in which certain chilled materials transmit electricity without resistance. It also contained more general wagers on political and economic issues. The book disappeared from the tearoom around 1990, perhaps stolen by a sore loser. Long before then, however, a chance remark by a regular bettor at Bell Labs inspired a similar book on the opposite coast.
''On the front page it says, 'The Official SLAC Theory Group Record of Wagers,' '' said Michael Peskin of the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center in California. It contains 28 pages of mostly scientific bets dating to 1984.
His own proudest entry, he said, is a winning bet against Dr. Sidney Drell at SLAC regarding the existence and mass of the top quark, an elementary particle discovered to much fanfare in 1995. ''Dinner for four,'' said Dr. Peskin with satisfaction.
The German astronomer Johannes Kepler is believed to have begun the game in 1600, when he was given the problem of figuring out Mars's orbit around the Sun from astronomical observations made by his mentor, Tycho Brahe. Kepler took over the problem from a senior Brahe assistant, Longomontanus.
Kepler bet Longomontanus he would crack the problem in a week or so, said Dr. James Voelkel, a historian of science at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The stakes are not known, but Longomontanus won going away: It took Kepler five years to find the solution.
That set the stage for what was ''undoubtedly one of the most crucial wagers in scientific history,'' said Dr. Alan E. Shapiro, a historian of science at the University of Minnesota. Kepler's pondering had produced his three laws of planetary motion, which describe the elliptical orbits and how fast planets moved in them. Unfortunately, nobody knew why planets would behave like that.

I have a C++ application called A which open a TCP connection to Application B. Application C knows about this connection and can close the socket from B side. My question is: how can I know if the connection has closed in proper closing, or it is the network connection problem? Currently I have a timeout which knows when there is no receive, but this not indicate about a proper closing or network connection problem.
I heard that since it is a TCP connection if application C close the connection properly the OS must know about it, do you know how can I know in application A that the connection has closed properly?
if you can attach a c++ sample it will be helpful.

Wildfires Scorch Lives on Texas Lake
POSSUM KINGDOM LAKE, Texas—Nancy Ustick got the word a week ago Friday that her small cabin on this bluff-lined lake was in the path of wildfires that were consuming a vast stretch of the state, a tract bigger than the size of Delaware.
She packed a few photo albums and rounded up her three cats and six dogs, and told her 10-year-old daughter to prepare a bag—just in case. But then, Ms. Ustick settled back into her daily routine. "I just didn't think it was going to happen."
The next day, though the blaze was still miles away, an encroaching flurry of ash and smoke made her realize she had to go. It took two trips in her small boat to get everyone off the three-quarter-acre plot, which is accessible only by water.
As Ms. Ustick looked back, she prayed the wind would switch direction. But once she got to the other side of the lake, the flames engulfing nearby coves made it clear she wouldn't be so lucky. She didn't stick around to watch.
"I'm thankful I didn't see my place on fire," she said. "It was the most beautiful and serene place in the world."
All that's left of it now is a cement sculpture of a seagull that sat atop a dock piling.
All across Texas, parched conditions and violent gusts have spurred thousands of fires since the beginning of the year. Rains last summer thickened the ground brush, which turned into an abundant fuel source after one of the driest winters in years.
So far, about two million acres have been scorched. The fires took out a large portion of the West Texas town of Fort Davis, narrowly missed the famous McDonald Observatory, and even reached into the city limits of Austin, torching 11 homes there. Fires are burning ranchland in West Texas and the piney woods of East Texas.
State forest-service officials are used to wildfires, but can't recall ever dealing with so many burning at the same time.
Texas Gov. Rick Perry is asking the Obama administration for help, and on Thursday he called for a weekend of prayer.
Nowhere has the damage been as extensive as in Possum Kingdom, where four fires merged into one conflagration that destroyed 160 homes and two churches.
The area, about 100 miles west of Dallas, got its name for an abundance of the fuzzy gray marsupials properly called opossums. That was before the Brazos River was dammed in the late 1930s.
Now the lake's 310-mile-long shoreline, dotted with many of the community's 3,000 homes, is mainly a weekend getaway for city residents, though about 1,000 people live here year round.
During the past week, residents were forced to evacuate and to pick belongings that would fit in their getaway cars.
"We're in Texas, so we pack guns and knives," said Ted Lewellen, a real-estate agent.
Recent rains have kept the flames from spreading in the past two days, and on Friday some residents were allowed to go back into their homes for a few hours. With the exception of that temporary visit, the lake remains sealed as only 25% of the blaze is contained.
A group of evacuees set up a command center in a cramped hotel room and updated their neighbors on the fire through a blog. Some residents hired a plane to take aerial pictures to study the damage; others remotely monitored security cameras in their homes.
The home of Lance Byrd, a Fort Worth oilman, served as a depot to store and prepare food for local and out-of-town firefighters until a gigantic fire column barreled his way. As he watched it approach, his main worry was how he would break the news to his seven-year-old daughter if the fire reached the place where she plays cowgirl with her pony. A change in wind direction spared Mr. Byrd and his ranch.
After volunteer firefighters lost a battle to protect the First Baptist Church here, the only recognizable remains were a few metal folding chairs, an empty safe and the church sign, quoting from 1 Corinthians 13: "Love is kind."
The flames have been capricious. At one subdivision, all that remained of some houses were charred chimneys, while others, including one owned by Mr. Lewellen, the real-estate agent, stood untouched.
He's still worried about his and his neighbors' possessions—televisions, fancy furniture, boats—that could be at the mercy of looters. "All that is sitting there unattended," he said.
Ms. Ustick has been dwelling on her things, too, the ones she lost: Her address book of 20 years; the painting of Koi fish, which are supposed bring good fortune; her daughter's Nintendo Wii console.
At times, she says. she thinks, "How could that happen to me?"
But at night, when she leaves a friend's trailer where she is staying to gaze at the moon, she thinks about how her daughter is safe. And so are her dogs, playing in their temporary pen.
"I got the most important things out," Ms. Ustick said.

GreenJackets starter Kyle Vazquez (4-2) shutout the Braves through six innings but surrendered a single, double and Whitmer's triple in the seventh to blow a 1-0 lead.
Rome added a run in the eighth when Cory Harrilchak walked, stole second and third and scored when GreenJackets third baseman Chris Dominguez failed to cover third base and catcher Tommy Joseph's throw bounced into left field.
Rome starter Brett DeVall (2-2) got the win after allowing two hits and no earned runs in six innings pitched. David Hale struck out seven in three hitless innings of relief to get the save.
Augusta's lone run came in the fourth inning when Rome committed three errors. The GreenJackets left a runner at third base in the inning, one of six runners stranded by the home team.

Did I go too far last week?
Countering the market's bubbly enthusiasm on Friday, I singled out seven bellwethers that analysts see posting lower quarterly profits this week. Things may be bad, but they're not that bad. In fact, several companies are growing in this recessionary climate.
The turmoil in the markets makes it too easy to justify selling any stock these days. Yet, while panic never helps investors, it's still a good idea to play devil's advocate with investments.
Historically, tumultuous times offer some of the best opportunities to buy stocks,
and the market's recent mess surely qualifies. Some investors will
never tread back into the waters of financial stocks again, but many
investors think financial services giant Morgan Stanley (NYSE: MS) should be an exception.
You know, it's kind of wrong for companies to make political and charitable contributions. Don't get me wrong -- it's not because I don't believe in giving to those in need. I do, and have supported and have even run our annual Foolanthropy campaign.
f you thought the rally that began in mid-March is running out of steam, pull up a chart.
If you've been paying attention, you'll have noticed that there's been quite a rally in the stock market over the past six months. The S&P 500 is up about 37% since the beginning of March!
Despite the ripple recently when the Brazilian government sought to win
a bigger role in the country's pre-salt region, primarily in the
deepwater Santos Basin, events continue to rock along in what has
become one of the centers of the energy universe.
It's been a tough year since what I like to call The Autumn of the Massive Collective Pants-Soiling.
Have we grown up, sobered up, or started building a healthier economy?
I think not. Welcome to the world of institutionalized speculation.
Welcome to the second installment of a series detailing my thought and
research process when investigating an unfamiliar oil stock. As you'll
see, a lot of these considerations are universal to fundamental
investment research, so you don't need to be an oil addict to learn
something here.
All right, I take it back! I'm sorry.
Was I a little rough? Yes. Did I bash the mutual fund industry? Sure. Did I expect hate mail? Of course. But not this.

Kim Dotcom's Internet Party claims to have signed up more
than 900 voters since launching its membership drive
yesterday and aims to submit its registration application to
the Electoral Commission on Monday.
"Having gone 'live' at midday yesterday, the target of 500
people signed up was achieved at 7pm on the day and has
continued to climb to more than 800 today" the party said
this afternoon.
Internet Party chief executive Vikram Kumar said membership
details were now being checked before submission to the
Electoral Commission.
"We're working hard to have this done by Monday."
The commission will then verify those members before the
party is officially registered, a process expected to take
about six week.
Mr Kumar said there had also been "a huge response" from
people who wanted to work for the party as volunteers.
"We've also had strong interest from people wanting to join
the party as candidates."
The party was launched yesterday at Dotcom's Coatesville
mansion in rural Auckland and has released some high level
policy. Apart from the previously indicated emphasis on
cheaper faster internet, the party also wants to see the
introduction of a government sponsored digital currency.
Mr Kumar said the party wanted to see a fundamental change in
New Zealand's intelligence and surveillance regime, including
a withdrawal from the US led "five eyes" intelligence sharing
Because he is not a New Zealand citizen, Mr Dotcom cannot
stand as a candidate in his own party. He is also facing a
bid to extradite him by US authorities to face copyright,
money laundering and racketeering charges.

People love their almond milk. It tastes great. It's healthy for you. It's dairy free. Depending on the brand you buy, it's a natural product. Unfortunately there are more than a few brands that are riding the coattails of that "health halo" that has formed around the product itself. Just do things the FoodFacts.com way and check the labels of some of the popular brands and you might be surprised. Now a new difficulty has come to the forefront in the form of a false advertising law suit against Almond Breeze almond milk.
According to a class action lawsuit filed in New York this past May (and amended on July 14), these popular items are more full of lies than they are actual almonds.
A pair of brave citizens are squaring off against Blue Diamond Growers, the largest processor and marketer of almonds in the world (according to their company website) in civil court. The plaintiffs, Tracy Albert and Dimitrios Malaxianis, are claiming that Blue Diamond's almond milk brand, Almond Breeze, has been fraudulently advertising itself as primarily containing almonds, when in actuality, it only contains about two percent.
According to the amended complaint, available to the public, Albert and Malaxianis were avid almond milk lovers — Albert even residing in California, where Blue Diamond helps produce a significant amount of the almonds grown in the U.S. every year. However, they became shocked when they learned that their Almond Breeze, according to nutritional information displayed by its UK counterpart, only contained two percent real almond. No such disclosure exists on the U.S. side of the almond milk aisle.
"Defendant is using its website to lead distributors, grocery stores, restaurants, consumers and other buyers and resellers of almond milk in the United States to believe that their almond milk branded products are primarily made from almonds," read their complaint. "Said information from Defendant's website has created a false perception amongst the public that Defendant's almond milk labeled products are premium products that are healthy for you because they are primarily made from almonds."
Regardless of the outcome, the civil case, filed in New York because of Malaxianis's residency there, is coming at a time when almond milk has become incredibly popular. An article referenced by the complaint notes that sales of almond milk cleared over $700 million last year, with Blue Diamond the top dog (the original suit also named Whitewave Foods, which produces Silk, a brand that now includes almond milk). According to research they conducted online, the average amount of almond that should be found in almond milk is around 25 to 35 percent.
The two, fighting on behalf of themselves and "all other persons in the United States" who have ever purchased Almond Breeze, are claiming the company has committed unfair and deceptive business practices, false advertising, fraud, and unjust enrichment.
So it appears that Almond Breeze almond milk contains only 2% actual almonds. Of course, they needed to leave room in the product for the carrageenan and evaporated cane juice that are used to make Almond Breeze the tasty alternative to dairy milk so many consumers enjoy. Like we said, make sure you read the labels.

We fall shortJuly 06,2013
We fall short
Dyslexia is a serious learning problem and is broadly defined as not being able to read fluently and with accurate comprehension despite normal intelligence. It seems that as a society we are impaired in a similar way. We have difficulty reading glaringly obvious messages, that our political leaders are sending us, indicating that they dont care a tinkers damn for social and economic justice.
Its also obvious that the Egyptian people have no such learning disability. They amassed by the millions to force President Morsi out when he betrayed the promises for true democracy he made to get elected. Morsis government imprisoned dissenters without trial, illegally brought charges against journalists, kowtowed to the IMF by cutting public spending, violated core political and legal principles and did nothing to discourage the growing power of the reactionary Muslim Brotherhood.
We Americans have a similar experience with our lying chief executive, but few people seem to care. In a comparison with the Egyptians in Tahrir Square, who are willing to put their bodies on the line, we fall miserably short.

AbstractThe Grand Portage Reservation is located in northeastern Cook County, Minnesota (fig. 1). In 1997 and 1998 the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) conducted a study, in cooperation with the Grand Portage Band of Chippewa, to determine the quality of water in selected inland lakes and streams in the Reservation. The USGS collected and analyzed water from two streams, two wetlands, and four lakes (fig 1). Water samples were collected in the spring and fall of 1997 and 1998. In addition, samples of bottom sediments were collected from two of the four lakes in 1998. The purpose of this report is to present the data collected by the USGS from the study during 1997-98. Water-quality data include temperature, pH, specific conductance, dissolved oxygen, alkalinity, and concentrations of major ions, nutrients, and trace metals. Lake sediment data include concentrations of trace metals and selected organic compounds.

Batman: Arkham City Cheats
In Past Made for Steam.

Hey Cal and Pwiz,
Thank You,
Just want to start by saying Thank You Both for all you do. I have a question off of Cal's last comment on the trainer post. I use to buy my games threw D2D and switched back to buying from STEAM, who I hate to support. I did this because Pwiz told me in cases where the developer made multiple games, you would always make the STEAM version, not others. I understand the drama that goes with this, so I am not trying to bust your chops. I just want to know so I can stop buying from STEAM if this is not the case anymore.
Thank You,
Caliber posted on Dec 17, 2012 1:01:49 PM - Report post
we usually buy from steam. if it is an origin game only then we buy it from there instead. sometimes we are forced to purchase the game from other sources and we 'try' to accomodate multiple versions if we are able. however, it's these multiple versions that cause the problems when we had to update to windows 8 older trainers from years ago.. some of them weren't installed any longer and/or the notes for these games and trainers were old and in some cases the trainers could not be recompiled after the fact. it's just a stupid api fluke that the developers of windows 8 decided to change a few api calls and we use ONE of these in our trainers and it had to be changed in the programming and recompiled. some games like batman have 4 versions or more. we simply can't go back and recompile all these trainers, sorry.
