5 Places in Riviera Maya You've Got to See
Science says theres such a thing as happy clothes. Ever notice how a case of the blues has you reaching for your cozy blue jeans? So have researchers, who discovered after surveying 100 women that denim (and anything baggy) are the preferred item of choice for depressed people. Instead, glam up the next time you feel down, and youll be letting potential boyfriends know youre actually fabulous.
You may have hit the beauty jackpot with your baby blues, but there could be a downside. After looking at 80 photos, a significant number of participants in a study from the Czech Republic found brown-eyed faces more trustworthy than blue-eyed faces, regardless if they were male or female. There was one exception, probably familiar to any girl secretly in love with the Biebs: Baby-faced guys looked equally believable.

News 12 at 6 o'clock / Tuesday, Oct. 16, 2012
MCCORMICK, S.C. -- From the outside, the McCormick County school complex is a beautiful new building, but on Monday, something happened inside that has Tashekia Moore fighting mad.
"I know there's going to be some backlash for this, but I'm ready for it, because McCormick County School System is broken. It's flawed," said Moore, whose son attends the McCormick Real Academy, an alternative school.
Her 14-year-old son sent a mass text from school. He told his mother and other family members that he was in danger.
"At 8:48 a.m., he texted me saying, 'They just got a knife out of the student's book bag and ain't report it,'" Moore readd from her phone.
A McCormick County Sheriff's Office report shows that an unidentified student did have a butcher knife in class.
"It was a butcher knife, not a pocket knife. A butcher knife starts this big and goes down slender," Moore said.
Fearing that the incident would go unreported, Moore went up to the school. She says it was only then that the knife was secured by deputies and a report was filed.
"That boy with the knife could have went into the hallway and just started stabbing children, and now we're dealing with a Columbine situation," she said. "I had parents writing [me] saying, 'Thank you and your son for saving my daughter.' 'I would like to come meet your son and shake his hand.'"
But the actions of her son weren't celebrated. Instead, he was given a form and suspended for the rest of the day for texting in class.
"Explanation of the Incident: Student took out a cellphone and texted his mother that there was a weapon at the middle school. I was completely shocked," she read from the form.
Superintendent Dr. Earlean Smiley says the school was following protocol. She says the incident is still being investigated and will continue to be investigated until they have all the facts. She says there's no evidence to suggest that a teacher tried to conceal the incident and that the incident was handled properly. She says one theory is that Moore's son planted the knife in the book bag. Regardless, she says either student will face due process and be punished as necessary.
Moore, outraged by the allegation, says there's no way her son brought a knife to school and planted it. She says he didn't even bring a backpack to school that day.
She says her son actually got video and pictures of the incident and the knife, but the teacher took his phone and gave it back to him with everything deleted.

text: There are a lot of basic, common words that don't fit in a non-Earth setting. For example, I had one character say "the heavens", just referring to up. Well, this is an alternate world. There's no bible, there's no Jesus, there's no angels, there's no Judeo-Christian God. So there's no such concept as heaven. Or if you've got a character who's paralyzed who's in kind of a steampunk wheelchair. Except, would they use the word 'wheelchair'? It seems like that's culturally dependent. And then I heard that Mary Robinette Kowal made a custom dictionary out of all of Jane Austen's writing for her regency novels, to make sure she didn't use a word that was out of place. So my question is, hasn't anyone ever done this for medieval fantasy? Seems like it's a no-brainer, with some constant mistakes writers do. Or at least, maybe we can crowd-source a list?

Hi all,
Love this program!! Just wished I knew what all the settings mean?... is there a help file or site somewhere that explains all the settings and how to optimize it. It works great right out of the box, but I'd like to know how to make it even better for my particular setup. I've read the Readme and FAQ/help, not very extensive.

Using Slax with GParted to format USB drive to EXT3
Although Ubuntu is highly rated and has GParted as standard on the its Live CD, it is 700MB or so to download, so if you are wanting a smaller download, then this GParted Slax Live CD (I've built) is for you!
Here's my guide to formatting a USB drive to EXT3 using a Slax ISO I've built with the GParted disk utility. I believe that the latest Ubuntu Live CD (v10.10) no longer included GParted, so although Ubuntu is quite useful only with the older releases, having GParted ready for us to use.
I visited the Slax website and built a Slax release, which is the core release with the GParted utility and the libraries it needs to run. You can do the same or download it from the Linux Download page in the My Humax Blog, here: https://myhumax.org/blog/?page_id=189
This ISO is a small 203MB in size, so it should be faster to download than most Linux distributions. You can burn it to make a Live CD and boot up your computer temporarily to perform the USB drive format. Stick the CD in the drive and boot your PC via the CD-ROM drive. Your screen should look like the picture below:
Insert your USB drive if you've not done so. Slax will recognise your drive and will mount it. Start the GParted utility by clicking on the 'K' start button and choosing System and then GParted Partition Editor. Or you can open up the Terminal application (second icon on the bar at the bottom left corner of the desktop) and type 'gparted' followed by return. GParted should fire up as the screen below shows:
GParted will startup showing you the master hard disk's configuration. Mine happens to be Ubuntu Linux. Under no circumstances should you modify your master hard disk (which most likely to be Windows). Windows partition type or filesystem will be marked as FAT32 or NTFS, example below:
A few seconds after inserting a USB drive, Slax will pop-up a window askin you what you would like to do with it:
If it is a drive you want to format to EXT3, then choose the 'Do Nothing' option and click on OK. Otherwise the drive will get mounted and you will not have the format option in GParted (cannot format a mounted drive).
Once GParted is running, pull down the drive menu in the top-right corner and select the drive you wish to format:
The image above states that I have 3 drives on my PC – the boot disk and 2 USB drives. I'm going to format a USB stick formatted in FAT32 called 'KINGSTON':
Right click on the drive entry and choose 'Format to':
Then select EXT3. Once that is done, click on the 'Apply' button to get GParted to format the drive. It will ask you to confirm of course, before it will perform the action.
If you have a drive that mis-behaves – GParted informing you that it can't format the drive, you will need to delete the all the current partitions and create a new one on the drive. To do select the drive and choose 'Partition' from the menu.

Summit Middle School students prepare to delight on Thursday with a performance of "The Frisco Kid," a comic opera they created completely from scratch - including everything from the script to the songs and the set. The performance is the culminating event of "Build an Opera," a program from Central City Opera brought to SMS for a second year by the Breckenridge Music Festival's Music in the Schools outreach program.
The storyline of "The Frisco Kid" has it all - love and laughs intertwined with themes from immigration to terrorism - all set in a fictional Frisco bakery straight from the eighth graders' imaginations.
Though students began working on the project in January, SMS teachers Julenne Moore (drama), Donna Clark (choir) and Mark Koob (piano, theater tech) attended Central City's week-long Build an Opera workshop last July, where they studied the opera, "Carmen," as well as techniques needed to guide students through the process of creating their own opera.
"I'd never truly appreciated the genre of opera until after the training," Moore said. "We actually wrote our own opera - so we were the students going through the process. From that perspective, we were able to understand where students would be coming from in trying to write an opera."
Starting in January, the three teachers then worked with Judeth Shay-Burns, a teaching artist from Central City Opera, to lead approximately 40 students from four classes in the show's production. The first step was to write the script, which combined ideas generated by drama students. The drama class also wrote lyrics for the songs, after which piano and choir students worked together to create "a rhythmic sentence and melody" for each one, Koob explained. The theater tech class designed and built the backdrops and selected costumes and props for the show.
"Having room for each student to have a voice and to explore their own ideas is the most important aspect of the project, so this flexibility is crucial," said Shay-Burns, who is a member of the Central City Opera Ensemble and a voice teacher at Colorado College and Colorado Springs Conservatory. "The deciding factor is always the question, 'What has the most dramatic viability?'"
"Judy has worked very hard making the music and script that the students wrote fit into the style of an opera" and "making the opera they wrote become a reality on stage," Clark said. "Without the experience of a real opera person we would just be taking a stab in the dark."
"Any time you can get those real world connections, the learning process becomes easier for students," said SMS Principal Joel Rivera, expressing gratitude to the Breckenridge Music Festival and all the organizations and individuals who support Summit Middle School through direct involvement, volunteering and fundraising.
"Every year I go to a camp that's about acting and I don't think I'm very good, but after this experience I think I've really improved," said eighth-grader Emmy Moul, who plays Nuki, one of two inept terrorists bent upon blowing up the Dillon Reservoir dam.
Anakayla Carchi (Gunny) felt it helped her get better at the "business" of drama - "where to walk, what looks better onstage" and "what to do if I'm onstage and other people are acting."
Lexi Zangari (bakery worker) said she appreciated the stronger friendships that developed as she worked through the process with classmates. By getting out of her comfort zone onstage, Luisa Carreno (Madame Monroe) said she felt "more comfortable around others" overall.
Starring actor Ethan Davis (Olivier Monroe, the baker) said he appreciated acting as "another avenue for me to express myself."
The BMF will host a reception following the public performance of "The Frisco Kid" on May 24. There will also be a school-wide performance at 2 p.m. on May 25.
"The greatest thing about this project is the collaboration that takes place between all the classes," Moore concluded. "I hope in the end that students will realize how important collaboration is, and to get one show onstage takes the work of so many minds."
The Breckenridge Music Festival's Music in the Schools program is funded in large part by The Summit Foundation.

A man is in custody after a brief standoff today with law enforcement officials at a residence near Dawn.
Jeffrey S. Griffith, 40, was taken into custody shortly after 8 a.m. Griffith was wanted on a Platte County felony warrant of resisting arrest, a Buchanan County warrant for assault, and a St. Joseph warrant for failure to appear in court. Griffith was located inside of a building on the property near Dawn, and initially refused to exit the building when directed by law enforcement officers. Additional Missouri State Highway patrol troopers, Livingston County deputies, and Caldwell County deputies responded to the area to assist.
Griffith was taken into custody without any further incident, and taken to the Daviess DeKalb County Regional Jail.

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky.: "The single most important thing we want to achieve is for President Obama to be a one-term president." He made this statement on Oct. 23, 2010, and repeated it.
"Thus began a carefully planned and executed Senate strategy of historically unprecedented filibuster and obstructionism," wrote Melinda McWilliams in a letter published Oct. 29 in the Sky High News. "It has been party first to the detriment of the country. To hear Romney claim he will lead in a bipartisan way is disingenuous and hypocritical."
Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney's lies, distortions and hypocrisy never end. Even when he is caught in a lie, he and his ads continue to spew his lies, etc., without a single word of remorse or correction. Here are but a few of his non-stop lies and distortions:
Sarah Jones in Politicus Oct. 21: "In spite of Romney's claims that a businessman can fix what's broken, his record in one term as governor of Massachusetts (2003-07) tells another story. In one term, he managed to explode the debt per capita and decimate job growth, in addition to raising taxes and fees on everyone but the wealthiest residents.
"That's because in just one term, Romney drove the state down to 47th out of 50th in job creation, increased per capita debt to the largest in the nation, left his successor a $1 billion deficit, and pushed through a tax cut that overwhelmingly benefited 278 of the wealthiest residents while raising taxes and fees on everyone else. And he did all of this while refusing to work across the aisle."
According to USA Today, Jan. 1: "Unlike Obama, Romney took office during an economic uptick. Massachusetts had a net job growth of 1.4 percent under Romney. However, that was far slower growth than the national average of 5.3 percent. As Romney's opponents have frequently, and correctly, noted, Massachusetts ranked 47th in job growth over the entirety of Romney's term. The only states that did worse: Louisiana, Michigan and Ohio."
In one of Romney's very recent ads, the gist is that he worked with the Democratic Legislature in Massachusetts while Obama blamed his inability to accomplish many of his objectives on an obstructive opposition from the House and Senate Republicans.
This is another Romney and Republican lie, and Obama is correct. Obama tried to reach out to the Republicans for nine months and got absolutely zero cooperation.
The GOP's sole objective from the minute he became president has been as described by McConnell above.
The Boston Globe: Romney "was perhaps the most vetoing governor in Massachusetts history. He claimed in the debate with Obama that he was good at working with the opposition party which controlled 87 percent of the Legislature. In reality he was an obstructionist, the embodiment of 'no.' Because the Legislature 707 times overrode his 844 vetoes, he was an ineffectual governor. ... Romney vetoed an increase in disability payments to a policeman injured in a fall. He vetoed a bill recognizing students' rights to refuse to carve up living or dead animals in biology and pre-med classes. ... In cases when the Senate challenged him, Romney was overridden every time. When the House challenged him, Romney was overridden more than 99 percent of time."
Romney claims credit for the Massachusetts health-care program, but he merely went along with the work that the Democratic legislature started and wrote the legislation, and had enough votes to override any veto.
Romney defeated $220,000 in programs to give to the homeless shelter. Theissues.org reports: "Budget Item 7004-3036 was reduced by the Governor from $1,221,925 to $1,000,000; the Governor disapproved $141,000 for Just-A-Start housing stabilization conflict management services, a program to prevent homelessness; and $80,925 for the Central Massachusetts Housing Alliance."
According to FactCheck.org, in 2006 Romney vetoed a minimum wage increase, but was overridden unanimously by the Legislature.
FactCheck went on to say, "It is misleading to claim that Romney closed the deficit without raising taxes. He increased government fees by hundreds of millions of dollars."
According to Michel Wines of The New York Times: "Statehouse Democrats complained he (Romney) variously ignored, insulted or opposed them. Unemployment dropped less than a percentage point during his four years."
Romney complains of a $900,000 subsidy to PBS while ignoring the billions in subsidies to big oil companies and the trillions of subsidies in corporate welfare to war profiteers. Romney wants to de-fund PBS.
Huff Post Politics, Oct. 29: "In one of Romney ads, he claims sole credit for saving the 2002 winter Olympics. Missing from the ads, and Romney's own telling of the story, is how that hope for the 2002 Olympics was also restored through $342 million in direct federal funding and an additional $1.1 billion in indirect financing from Washington. ...Throughout Romney's candidacy, his campaign and affiliates have used the event to tout Romney as an Olympics savior."
Another Romney lie, which this alone should cause any objective individual who plans to vote for Romney to give serious reconsideration and then vote for Obama.
Sarah Jones, Politicus, Oct. 25: "Romney said, 'I saw a story today, that one of the great manufacturers in this state, Jeep, now owned by the Italians, is thinking of moving all production to China. I will fight for every good job in America, I'm going to fight to make sure trade is fair, and if it's fair, America will win.' The truth is that Chrysler is not moving its Jeep production from America to China. As Chrysler said today, 'Jeep has no intention of shifting production of its Jeep models out of North America to China.' "
In case Romney is still confused, "Chrysler Group announced that it will invest $500 million at the Toledo Assembly Complex (Ohio) for the production of the next generation Jeep SUV in 2013. As a result, the company will add a second shift of production or about 1,100 jobs in the third quarter of 2013," Jones writes.
Despite Romney's arrogant stupidity and distortion of the facts, at least as of today he has not recanted his scare tactic lie. The negative response to Romney's lie is universal.
Wall Street Journal: "So far, the Romney campaign hasn't issued a public statement on the flap."

I have noticed that recently Dillon Valley has become a popular dumping ground. The former church parking lot is very popular. I have seen beds, couches and right now there is a flatbed trailer with all sorts of junk also sitting there. Also, lots of old tires are popping up too. Come on folks, take your junk to the dump. We don't enjoy looking at other peoples castaways.

Floyd Mayweather Jr. will make the first defense of the WBC welterweight belt he won by stopping Victor Ortiz last month against an opponent to be determined on May 5 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Mayweather's adviser, Leonard Ellerbe, confirmed to RingTV.com on Wednesday night.
ESPN.com initially reported the story.
"Floyd is just looking to make the biggest fight out there, and everybody knows what that fight is," said Ellerbe, referring to THE RING No. 1-rated pound-for-pound Manny Pacquiao (53-3-2, 38 KOs), the current WBO welterweight titleholder.
"Floyd's always been willing to make the biggest fights that are out there, and that's what we've been doing. Floyd has fought the biggest and the best that are available and the best competition that's been out there."
Negotiations for a megabout between Pacquiao, who is promoted by Top Rank Inc., and Mayweather (42-0, 26 KOs), who is handled by Golden Boy Promotions, have failed twice over Mayweather's insistance on Olympic-style random drug testing.
Prior to his past two victories over Shane Mosley and Ortiz in May of last year and in September, Mayweather required that his opponents undergo Olympic-style random drug testing of urine and blood that was conducted by United States Anti-Doping Agency.
Pacquiao has an ongoing lawsuit against Mayweather, accusing him of defamation and asserting that the fighter has continued to insinuate publicly that Pacquiao's success over eight weight classes is the result of having used performance-enhancing drugs.
But Top Rank Inc. CEO Bob Arum believes that those details can be worked out.
"That's not a problem," said Arum of the lawsuit. "That's something that could probably get worked out as part of a negotiation."
What could be a problem, said Arum, are the number of outstanding legal issues pending for Mayweather.
"But the major thing is his criminal legal situation. There's a lot of serious stuff going on," said Arum. "He may not be around in May. He can't go into a fight and then, maybe have to go on trial."
Mayweather, who turns 35 in February, ended a 16-month layoff when he dethroned Ortiz by fourth-round knockout on Sept. 17.
Prior to that, Mayweather scored a one-sided decision over Mosley. The win over Mosley followed a similarly one-sided unanimous decision rout over current THE RING lightweight champ Juan Manuel Marquez.
Mayweather emerged from a nearly two-year retirement to face Marquez, having previously scored a 10th-round stoppage of Ricky Hatton in December of 2007.
Marquez is preparing for his third bout with Pacquiao on Nov. 12 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, having battled Pacquiao through a draw and a split-decision victory in two prior meetings as featherweights and junior lightweights.
"Any opponent that Floyd Mayweather fights, in his whole career, the most money they've made has been against Floyd Mayweather," said Ellerbe.
"But anybody that Floyd Mayweather fights is going to be in the biggest fight that he's ever going to have been in. Everyone knows what the biggest fight out there in the sport is, and that's no secret."

Game of Thrones has the dubious title of being the most pirated television show this spring, with more than 5 million people downloading the Season 3 premiere alone, according to TorrentFreak. The number of overall downloads for the HBO hit was up 25 percent over last year. Interestingly, Game of Thrones' ratings increased by about the same percentage this season from legal views.
David Petrarca, the show's director, previously told TorrentFreak he isn't bothered by the show's popularity among pirates. The "cultural buzz" generated from such views is "how [shows] survive," he said.
Other shows that made TorrentFreak's list of the Top 10 Most Pirated TV Shows included The Vampire Diaries, How I Met Your Mother, and newcomers Hannibal and Arrow.
The numbers used to compile the list do not include online streaming and cyberlocker downloads, which cannot be measured accurately - meaning that the actual number of illegal viewers is higher than that included in TorrentFreak's list.
Check out the full list below, including estimated downloads:
1. Game of Thrones (5.2 million)2. The Big Bang Theory (2.9 million)3. How I Met Your Mother (2.85 million)4. The Walking Dead (2.7 million)5. Hannibal (2.1 million)6. Vikings (1.9 million)7. Arrow (1.85 million)8. The Vampire Diaries (1.8 million)9. Modern Family (1.75 million)10. Revenge (1.7 million)

The Granite Falls Hospital Board has come full circle. After nearly pulling the trigger on a 40 acre site in the Industrial Park, happenstance has motivated the board to reconsider the location of its proposed new nursing home to a site it has coveted all along.
During a special meeting held Tuesday, board members directed Granite Falls Hospital CEO and Administrator, George Gerlach, to approach the Granite Falls City Council and request approval to enter into a purchase agreement for an 8.1 acre plot of land located adjacent to Granite Ridge Place.
According to Gerlach, the hospital was originally looking to acquire 40 acres of property that would allow for both a new nursing home as well as a future hospital that would create an integrated healthcare campus somewhere down the line.
Original negotiations with property owner Dale Voss were said to have been cost prohibitive for 40 acres at the Granite Ridge location. As such, the board explored a number of sites before originally settling on the Industrial Park––for which the hospital negotiated a purchase price of $83,400, or roughly 2,000 per acre.
The Industrial Park might have very well been the final location had the nursing home initiative not been slowed by news of forthcoming changes by Blue Cross Blue Shield, which are projected to impact the hospital's line by close to a million dollars. As a result, the news forced the hospital to reconsider its financial situation which allowed time for additional site discussion.
According to Gerlach, the conversations involved community concerns about whether the Industrial Park was an ideal location for a healthcare campus. Concerns included whether the nursing home would be detached from the residential community as well as how the campus might affect the business nature of the Industrial Park.
In the wake of discussions the board began to reconsider potential nursing home sites, including those smaller than 40 acres. The consideration of smaller sites was significant, as it represented a willingness of the board to abandon its healthcare campus initiative––at least for the present.
Under this mindset, Gerlach said the board re-ranked its options. Topping the list was the property adjacent to Granite Ridge Place. The Industrial Park was ranked third or fourth.
Following preceding negotiations between Gerlach and Voss, the board gave the administrator its blessing to approach the city council at its July 15 meeting to request approval to enter into a purchase agreement with Voss at a cost of $147,084, or just over $18,000 per acre.
If approved, the site would allow for the creation of a joint nursing home and Granite Ridge Place campus, which may or not see the buildings connected. The hospital owns the senior living facility.
As to what lies after, Gerlach said the pieces are still coming into the periphery. "We'll jump through this hoop," he said. "If the council gives the go-ahead we'll make a formal offer to Dale Voss and then we'll go onto whatever the next step is that presents itself."

We all teach our kids not to talk to strangers. Then we turn around, every day, and let them do it. As you'll see in this special assignment, like it or not, when your kids are logging on to the Internet they could be logging on to danger.
They are our sons and our daughters, and they're growing up in an internet-world. It's a place where even an innocent online game can pull kids onto a chat page where they can see lines like: "Is it hot in here, or is it just me?"
Mark Staples is the Chief Information Security Officer at the Medical College of Georgia, and he's talking about some of the parents he deals with in seminars on Internet safety. He wants your kids to repeat these rules:
"I don't talk to strangers and I don't post information about myself or my family that can be traced back to me," Staples said.
The most dangerous place on the net? Chat rooms where your kids are already speaking a language all their own. Mark says you need to learn it.
"Like P-I-R, parent in room, a young person types that in and all the conversation stops until the parent leaves, so the parent doesn't see what's going on," Staples said,
And there's A-S-L, shorthand for Age/Sex/Location, a clear sign that someone's fishing for information.
Think you're really ready to see what's going on? Comes with us to the website perverted-justice.com. Don't let the name scare you away, these are the good guys. It's a site devoted to turning the tables against the people targeting your kids. They catch pedophiles in the act, post their pictures, and let you see how the conversation unfolds.
Here's part of a conversation between someone with the screen name "pervectguy" and someone he thinks is a 13-year-old girl:
pervectguy (10:02:35 AM): hmm i wish i could take you
swgeorgiapeach91 (10:02:45 AM): me to
pervectguy (10:03:29 AM): i like to see the way you look
in your bikini
pervectguy (10:04:34 AM): you know i will have a hard time
keeping my hands off of you
swgeorgiapeach91 (10:04:48 AM): yeah
pervectguy (10:05:43 AM): you wouldn't mind?
swgeorgiapeach91 (10:05:48 AM): no
The rest of the conversation is too graphic to show you, but pervectguy is now facing charges.
Again, a chat room is the best place for a pedophile to contact your kids.
"If you walk up on your child and he's on the computer, watch for them switching screen real quick or minimizing the screen, that's real important right there," said James Van Metter, MCG.
And remember this, the Internet can be a very deceiving place. Just because someone says, "I have brown eyes and long hair, I'm a vegetarian and I love spending time outdoors," the reality might look a lot different.
Parents, if you want to contact Mark or James, the internet security experts at MCG, they'll be happy to do a seminar group for you. The email address is email@example.com. And that eye-opening website we mentioned is perverted-justice.com.

SAN FRANCISCO - The Golden State Warriors today released their latest design plans for a new waterfront arena in San Francisco, but local community advocates say they still oppose the size and location of the project.
The Warriors are seeking to move in 2017 from their current home at Oracle Arena in Oakland to an 18,064-seat arena at Piers 30-32 between the Bay Bridge and AT&T Park in San Francisco.
The latest iteration of the arena, the third version of the project proposed thus far, increases open space at the site from 50 to 60 percent and reduces the event center area by more than 30,000 feet.
Despite the changes, the project is still being opposed by the San Francisco Waterfront Alliance, a coalition of neighbors, homeowners and others.
"It doesn't matter how many designs the Warriors redo, it's just not a good location for an arena of this size," said Buffy Martin Tarbox, the group's community relations director.
The alliance has voiced concerns over the traffic congestion that the arena would create, along with reduced views of the waterfront.
Tarbox noted that San Francisco voters last week overwhelmingly rejected two ballot measures that sought approval of 8 Washington, a luxury condominium complex further north on the waterfront.
"We think the vote that happened last week showed San Franciscans do not want these types of developments on our waterfront," she said.
But arena spokesman Nathan Ballard said the projects are very different and should not be compared.
"It's not even like apples and oranges, it's like a lemon tree and an elephant," Ballard said.
"It's a project of a different stripe, and enjoys much more public support," he said. "If we held a referendum on the Warriors arena tomorrow, we would win overwhelmingly."
Putting the arena project on the ballot for voters is being considered by both supporters and opponents, but no plans are yet in place.
In the meantime, Ballard said project organizers are continuing to gather public input on the plans.
He said despite opponents' concerns over congestion, the arena site's proximity to San Francisco Municipal Railway, BART and Caltrain service would make it "the most public transit and pedestrian-friendly arena in professional sports by the time we are done."
More information about the new arena design proposal can be found online at www.nba.com/warriors/news/20131112/sf.

LODI - The California Highway Patrol made three arrests and confiscated 160 marijuana plants Wednesday after making a traffic stop on Highway 99 near Harney Lane, authorities said.
An officer initiated an enforcement stop about 1:40 p.m. after spotting a truck towing a horse trailer with expired registration, the CHP said. As the officer approached the vehicle, he noticed the inside of the trailer was full of marijuana plants, authorities said.
Igmacio Pimentel, 26, Jesus Pimentel, 22, and Jose Reyna, 25, all of Othello, Wash., were arrested on suspicion of possession of marijuana for sale and transportation of marijuana for sale, the CHP said.
STOCKTON - Police are searching for an arsonist who used gasoline to set a vehicle on fire late Tuesday night in a south Stockton neighborhood, authorities said.
A man called police about 11:15 p.m. to report that someone had poured gasoline on his vehicle and set fire to it, officers said. The arsonist, described as a Latino man standing 5 feet 10 inches tall and weighing 220 pounds with black clothing, then fled on foot, going east on East Taylor Street toward Searchlight Avenue, police said.
A witness extinguished the fire, which caused minimal damage to the vehicle, authorities said.

Lenovo A2107 Review
Reviewed by Geoff. Review Posted 27/01/2013
Hi All
I have the Lenovo Z575 Laptop. (Lenovo are IBM)
its a really good laptop. so i was looking also for a tablet and found this. and after weighing up the options between Galaxy Tab and IPADs it seemed ludicrous not to try this because you get so much for the money. again it is my first tablet and already have the iphone.
I just couldnt see why i should spend so much money on a tablet with 3G facility when this does it all for £150
comes as 16GB and can have a 32GB exp Card
Has VPN & tethering facility
Robust body work with roll cage
Front and Back Camera
Dual Sim Facility
Back camera 2mg but it is really good
Front facing VGA
It means i can go to a site, have a job sheet sent through via email, with an App installed the customer can sign it on my tablet and using 3G and can email it straight back
Why have a tablet just on WIFI?
My iphone battery is so bad im going to buy the Lenovo p700 mobile phone. looks like ive made the jump to Android
Hope this helps

Reviewed by Alan Graham. Review Posted 08/12/2012
NOTE: This is my first tablet/Android device.
What I think is missing from the sales details are quite important and very hard to find until you have the product in your hands.
Here's what I think needs telling:
A big bonus with the A2017 is it does have WiFi AND 2 sim card slots, one shown as 3G/2G and the 2nd as 2G. Also a space for a microSDHC card. These are hidden under a cover around the rear camera.
Although it has the 3G this is for data cards, it is not a phone. You can use Skype however.
Between the 3G and GPS this unit is excellent when used with Google Maps. Works just with GPS but the map is basic.
I have marked it down a star because it doesn't have the following sensors:
So no compass apps and Google Sky will not work fully because the Accelerometer only allows up and down! BIG LET DOWN, just as well the GPS works so well... It has light and sound sensors.
Will replace my laptop on holidays nicely :)

OK but but 3G can be flaky
Reviewed by Martin. Review Posted 12/05/2013
This is basically a good tablet. The main reasons for marking it down are the problems I and many people have had with using the 3G facility, and the complete lack of interest from Lenovo in solving problems or even acknowledging them.
The screen has good resolution - there are better ones out there, but at a price. It is difficult to read in bright light but fine indoors. That makes the GPS of doubtful use.
Back to the 3G: there are two normal-sized SIM slots, one marked 2G and the other 2/3G. There are a number of menus involved in getting 3G working, not all of which are easy to find, and the manual is useless in helping. Some SIMS seem to work, others not. I have no problems with Three in the UK, whereas SFR in France I never succeeded in getting to work - it told me there was a 3G signal, received and sent texts, but no internet. If 3G is important to the buyer, it is worth looking elsewhere.
Battery life is good at about 8 hours, much less with the 3G SIM turned on.

Reviewed by Paul Gray. Review Posted 09/07/2013
The product was returned to lenovo to repair a small crack to the screen. The tablet was still in useable working order and only 7 months old.
Quoted £180 to replace the screen despite tablet only costing £150 brand new.
We requested tablet be returned without repair as the quote was ludicrous and it was still in working order.
The tablet was however returned from Lenovo with the screen completely smashed and not working at all.
Lesson learned, some large companies are not to be trusted. Poor product, and very very poor company.

Secondary Sources: Are Banks Lending Too Little, or Too Much?, Scrimping Consumers, Economics 2033
A roundup of economic news from around the Web.
-Are Banks Lending Too Little, Or Too Much?: The Wall Street Journal and Bloomberg have dueling pieces on the lending environment for businesses. The WSJ's Shayndi Raice says there's "a renewed willingness by some banks to lend cheaply and on flexible terms"—so much so that there is a "new concern": That "the pendulum [is] swinging too far the other way," i.e., risky lending. (Commercial and industrial loans were up 16% in 2012.) Meanwhile, Bloomberg's Elizabeth Dexheimer says while banks are lending more in absolute terms—total loans by the biggest eight lenders rose in the fourth quarter to $3.9 trillion—banks are lending little relative to the flood of deposits they're getting. The average "loan-to-deposit" ratio for the top 8 commercial banks was 84% in the fourth quarter, the lowest in five years. Banks, in other words, are sitting on a lot of cash they could be lending. If they lent it (and consumers and companies wanted it), that would boost the economy. Whether banks are lending or not, one thing's for sure: Banks, as Paul Miller of FBR Capital Markets points out (in both stories), are drowning in deposits as savers struggle to find a better place to park their cash.
-Scrimping Consumers: Tyler Durden worries the U.S. consumer is in worse shape than some recent data are letting on. "Think the Walmart 'disastrous' sales memo was a one-off event, which net of Walmart's damage should be completely ignored (something the market has been perfectly happy to oblige with)? Then listen to a separate perspective on the US consumer, this time from a very different angle: that of Town Sports International which operates such gyms as New York Sports Club, and specifically its CEO David Gallagher … 'As we moved into January membership trends were tracking to expectations in the first half of the month, but fell off track and did not meet our expectations in the second half of the month. We believe the driver of this was the rapid decline in consumer sentiment that has been reported and is connected to the reduction in net pay consumers earn given the changes in tax rates that went into effect in January."
-Economics 2033: Barry Eichengreen wonders what a "Principles of Economics" textbook will look like in 2033 given how bad economists have been at predicting the economy lately. At the World Economic Forum in Davos, he asked participants and got this: "Economists working on the border of economics and psychology … argued that behavioral finance, in which human foibles are brought to bear to explain the failure of the so-called efficient markets hypothesis, would be given more prominence. Economic historians, meanwhile, argued that future textbooks would embed analysis of recent experience in the longer-term historical record. Among other things, this would allow economists-in-training to take the evolution of economic institutions more seriously. Development economists, for their part, argued that much more attention would be paid to randomized trials and field experiments. Applied econometricians pointed to the growing importance of "big data" and to the likelihood that large data sets will have significantly enhanced our understanding of economic decision-making by 2033. Overall, however, the picture was one in which the economics of 2033 differed only marginally from the economics of today … The consensus, in other words, seemed to be that there would be nothing in the next 20 years as transformative as Alfred Marshall's synthesis of the 1890's or the revolution initiated by John Maynard Keynes in the 1930's … This presumption is almost certainly mistaken … we can't say what the next revolution in economic analysis will be, but more than a century of modern economic thinking suggests that there will be one … one might [even] question the very premise that, two decades from now, there will be textbooks as we know them … [one possibility is] textbooks will be like wikis, with faculty adopters and students modifying text and contributing content. There still may be a role for the author as gatekeeper; but the textbook will know longer be the font of wisdom, and its writer will no longer control the table of contents."

NYC show at Knitting Facotry CANCELLED. here's their excuse
Due to a rising tide of anti-Knitting Factory sentiments among several of our unrelenting, politically connected neighbors who would like to see us located somewhere other than on their block (even though we were here first), we need to take immediate measures to placate them. This means re-soundproofing our Main Space, which in turn means a massive construction project that calls for the space to be closed for longer than we'd like. Unfortunately, this schedule includes a date that you are supposed to play, and we have to cancel it. We have tried hard to avoid any interruptions in the schedule, but the neighbors are dictating this time frame, and nothing other than immediate action will satisfy them. It's this, or being closed for good.
Hopefully in the end, we'll no longer be distracted by the neighbors and we can get back to focusing on the music, the artists, and the audience.
I apologize for this, and will make it up to you. Please feel free to contact me with any other questions, or to schedule a make-up date.

same shit has happened in phoenix, Nita's hideaway(probably the coolest venue in the whole city) was trying to relocate to a bigger area and the neighborhood was petitioning and trying to get the city to stop them, so they cancelled all their hardcore and hiphop shows to prevent any incidents from happening, hiphop nights got cancelled and an anticon tour stop....which amused me cause anticon shows are probably the last place your gonna see any voilence

Nah, Knitting Factory is a dope venue, but this news sucks something proper.
Throw Lif on the bill and pack the Bowery Ballroom. Either that or play S.O.B.'s, you'll pack that place handily even though I think the venue is on the lame side.
Too bad.

Why hasn't their website posted anything about this yet? You'd think it's information that they'd want to get out to the public, considering it's supposedly "massive".

, do you still wanna rock a show?

Knowing the situation at the knit, ( I promote over there, I did the last Sage show with Alias) what he's telling you isn't a lie. They have serious problems with the neighbors near there. Their liquor license is up for review and the neighbors are trying to shut them down. They build a huge luxury condo next to the club and then complain about noise. Didn't they realize they were building next to a club? From what I understand Adam Yauch & Irv Gotti have apartments there, so you can see the kind of money we are talking about. It probably doesn't make you feel any better but he's being straight up with you.
We have a show in Brooklyn,NY on the 29th in a venue equal in size to the knit. We'd love to have you as a special guest. Hit up Dom at the email above or me at
if you're interested.

The expansion of Volvo truck operations was extremely fast in the mid 1930s. By then the annual production of trucks was nearly 5,000 units. Obviously, there was sufficient customer demand to offer Volvo trucks for every type of transport, including even the most demanding operations.
The emergence of heavy power
There was still one thing missing in the Volvo product programme: a really powerful engine. But by now there were plans for a heavy city bus and a powerful new truck, which would even have sufficient engine bhp for snow-plough operations; both of these were to be introduced in 1937.
The LV290 series of trucks (which would be nicknamed the 'Longnose' for obvious reasons) was an impressive vehicle, which would successfully be produced into the 1950s, more or less without changes. Compared with previous heavy-duty trucks from other Swedish manufacturers, the LV29 series of trucks (and the concurrent LV18/19 series) were efficiently produced in large numbers.
The LVs - updated and modernised
The basis for the LV18/19 and the LV29 was a very strong heavy-duty chassis which was to some extent related to predecessors LV66 and LV68, but naturally with updated and modernised specification. In fact, two versions fairly similar technically to the predecessors were presented at the same time as the powerful LV29, namely the LV18 (with single reduction rear axle, replacing the LV68 series) and the LV19 (with double reduction rear axle, replacing the LV66).
These two versions, however, did differ visually from the more powerful LV29 series in having the same (shorter) bonnet as the LV9.
Suited for excessive loads
The chassis of the LV18/LV19/VL29 was extremely strong, with strong axles and wheels and a frame suitable for the most excessive loads of the day. Even if these trucks were available with high GVW in three-axle execution, it is as two-axle trucks for snow-plough service that they are most remembered today.
Even if the 'Longnose' LV29 petrol/Hesselman truck had a very long bonnet, it was not the most powerful of all the LV29s. In 1946, the diesel version LV29 C/V was introduced, basically identical to the petrol-engine version but with an even longer bonnet to house the very powerful diesel engine.

Red-Light Cameras
Published: Wednesday, February 27, 2013 at 12:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, February 26, 2013 at 8:35 p.m.
I don't run red lights, but I can sure see why, here in Florida, some people do choose to commit this dangerous act.
I have traveled pretty well all over the United States and Canada, but I have never seen traffic lights stay red as long as those in Florida — nowhere near as long. It strikes me that, if the real reason behind the traffic cameras is to reduce red light running, a much easier and more appreciated solution would be to shortened the length of time the lights stay red.
Of course, if Lakeland administrators are merely trying to raise money, I guess traffic cameras make sense to them. Otherwise, they defy logic when a much simpler solution exists.

I was wondering if there was a way to play media at scheduled times. A bit like having your own home TV station via the PS3.
Along the Shoutcast lines. But obvioulsy with video media and under more control.
Drag and drop to a spreadsheet outlay and hopefully the timings from the files fit in. Hope thats clear?
This might be under a different idea. I read through but couldn't find anything that stood out.

- Nor, given the fiduciary duty of the Trustee, is there any reason to imply any such limitation.

1.1 archaic Held or given in trust: fiduciary estates
More example sentences
- The fiduciary estate is distinct from the fiduciary's personal wealth.
- Drilling two new wells on the Fiduciary land can provide a short-term solution to the city's water problems.
1.2 Finance (Of a paper currency) depending for its value on securities (as opposed to gold) or the reputation of the issuer.
Example sentences
- However, even with the existence of a central bank that guarantees their solvency, it is not in the interest of the fractional reserve banks to issue fiduciary media as quickly as possible.
- Furthermore, this tendency is now strengthened by the decrease in the objective exchanged value of money following the increase of fiduciary media issued by the banking system.
- A second contradiction is related to another limit on the circulation of fiduciary media mentioned by Wicksell, the limit set by the use of precious metals for industrial purposes.
noun (plural fiduciaries)
A trustee.
Example sentences
- Executors or trustees are fiduciaries - agents legally responsible for managing property for the benefit of another individual or a group.
- Equity, which imposed obligations on trustees and fiduciaries, was always a separate entity.
- This ensures that trustees and fiduciaries are financially disinterested in carrying out their duties.

My friend gave me a set "for fun". My granddaughters, ages 8 and 5, loved the Buddy Chopsticks, so I bought each of them a set. They use them to eat everything; soooo much fun, and a lot of laughs!
I just bought these chopsticks for my 2 1/2 year old son. I started him off with a few mini marshmallows and in minutes he had figured out how to pick them up with his Buddy Trainer Chopsticks. They are the right size for kids and you can put other chopsticks in the little buddy if you have a larger learner. He loves the happy little character. I also noticed that the chopstick part is not too slippery - we had tried another kind without much success because all of the food seemed to slip out from between the sticks and made it frustrating for the kiddo. Plus, all the parts on these are washable. Great product - and now our son doesn't feel left out when mama and papa are eating dinner with chopsticks!

(It's amazing what they can do with technology these days, huh?)

Nothing beats good, old fashioned running for the ultimate workout! Five miles in the morning, 30 minutes of free weights after, then 30 minutes of yoga before bed. Nothing faddish about it, but it works for me! That is the key - - find something that you love, then stick with it.

I have Hip Hop Abs by Shaun T and he's hilarious but the workouts are so-so. I'll stick to yoga and basic circut training. Good music can help bust through a fitness plateau.

Everyone always says that working out makes you feel better, but honestly it just makes me feel dirtier... maybe one of these would help?
