Nearly 600 Israelis have signed up for a campaign of civil disobedience, vowing to risk jail to smuggle Palestinian women and children into Israel for a brief taste of life outside the occupied West Bank.
The Israelis say they have been inspired by the example of Ilana Hammerman, a writer who is threatened with prosecution after publishing an article in which she admitted breaking the law to bring three Palestinian teenagers into Israel for a day out.
Ms Hammerman said she wanted to give the young women, who had never left the West Bank, "some fun" and a chance to see the Mediterranean for the first time.
Her story has shocked many Israelis and led to a police investigation after right-wing groups called for her to be tried for security offences.
It is illegal to transport Palestinians through checkpoints into Israel without a permit, which few can obtain. If tried and found guilty, Ms Hammerman could be fined and face up to two years in jail.
But Israelis joining the campaign say they will not be put off by threats of imprisonment.
Last month, a group of 11 Israeli women joined Ms Hammerman in repeating her act of civil disobedience, driving a dozen Palestinian women and four children, including a baby, through a checkpoint into Israel.
The Israeli women say they are planning mass "smugglings" of Palestinians into Israel over the coming weeks.
"The Palestinians who join us are mainly looking to have a good time after years of confinement under the occupation, but for us what is most important is our act of defiance," said Ofra Lyth, who helped establish an online forum of supporters after attending a speech by Ms Hammerman.
"We want to overturn this immoral law that gives rights to Jews to move freely around while keeping Palestinians imprisoned in their towns and villages," she said, referring to regulations that bar most Palestinians in the occupied territories from entering Israel, and Israelis from assisting them. Exceptions are made for Palestinians with permits, sometimes issued for a medical emergency or to some labourers with security clearance.
For the Palestinian women, though, it is not about making a statement or defying an unjust law, said Ms Lyth.
Known and very popular cialis coupon which gives all the chance to receive a discount for a preparation which has to be available and exactly cialis coupons has been found in the distant room of this big house about which wood-grouses in the houses tell.
"The Palestinian women tell us: 'Go ahead and make your political point, but for us we're breaking the law so that we can enjoy ourselves and remember how life was before the checkpoints and the wall.' One woman told me: 'I just want to be able to breathe again'."
For Palestinians in the West Bank, it is not often easy to breathe. The territory is home to a growing population of 300,000 Jews in more than 100 settlements. The settlers are able to drive into Israel on roads that the army oversees with checkpoints.
It was through one such settler crossing, near Beitar Ilit, south of Jerusalem, that Ms Hammerman took the three Palestinian teenagers this year.
For their protection, she has not identifed the young women or the West Bank village where they live. She refers to the women as Aya, Lin and Yasmin. They, too, could face jail for breaking the law.
In Ms Hammerman's article, published in the Haaretz newspaper in May, she admitted that she was aware her actions were illegal.
She told the women, who were 18 and 19, to take off their hijabs for the day and dress in western-style clothes to avoid attracting attention from soldiers at the checkpoint. She also taught them an easy Hebrew phrase -- Hakull beseder, or "Everything is okay" -- in case a soldier spoke to them.
She then took them on a tour of Tel Aviv, visiting the city's university, a museum, a shopping mall and the beach, which she noted none of them had ever seen even though it is only about 40km from their village.
Gisha, an Israeli human rights group, said Israel introduced a permit system to limit Palestinian movement out of the West Bank in the early 1990s – about the time the young women were born.
Ms Hammerman wrote that the only dangerous moment during the trip was when a plain-clothes policeman stopped them and asked for the women's identity cards. Ms Hammerman lied to the officer, telling him that the women were Palestinians from East Jerusalem and therefore entitled to enter Israel.
In June, Yehuda Weinstein, the attorney general, was reported to have approved a police investigation of Ms Hammerman after a settler organisation, the Legal Forum for the Land of Israel, complained.
The ranks of Ms Hammerman's supporters have swollen since the group placed an advertisement, titled "We refuse to obey", in Haaretz this month. The ad said the group was "acting in the spirit of Martin Luther King", the US civil rights leader, and demanded that Palestinians be treated as "human beings, not terrorists".
Over the past week, the online forum has attracted more than 590 Israelis signing up to repeat Ms Hammerman's act of civil disobedience.
"That has really surprised and encouraged me," she said. "I did not realise there were so many other Israelis who have had enough of this outrageous law."
Still, the coverage of Ms Hammerman and her supporters in the Israeli media has been largely hostile. During a television interview last week, she was accused of endangering Israelis with her trips. The show's host, Yaron London, asked whether she had inspected the Palestinian women's underclothes for explosives before allowing them into her car.
She will will not be deterred, though. She said the group had discussed future trips for Palestinians, including taking them to pray at al-Aqsa, the mosque in Jerusalem that has been inaccessible to most Palestinians for at least a decade, and visits to Palestinian relatives they cannot see in Jerusalem and Israel.
"We need to get Israelis meeting Palestinians again, having fun with them and seeing that they are human beings with the same rights as us."
She said her immediate goal was to kick-start a discussion among Israelis about the legality and morality of Israel's laws and challenge the public's "blind obedience" to authority.
Ms Lyth added that the Palestinian women "who have gone on our trips are the heroes of their village. They and their families know they are taking a big risk in breaking the law, but harassment is part of their daily lives anyway".
Till now the trips have been restricted to smuggling Palestinian women and children only, said Ms Hammerman. "It is harder to bring men in without being discovered and the authorities would be likely to treat Palestinian men much more harshly if they were caught."

Drug Name: GINSENG
GINSENG DESCRIPTION: GINSENG (Eleutherococcus sp.) - ORAL
GINSENG SIDE EFFECTS: Headache, nervousness, agitation and trouble sleeping may occur. If these effects persist or worsen, contact your doctor promptly. Unlikely but report promptly diarrhea, fast or irregular heartbeat, skin rash or unusual vaginal bleeding. If you notice other effects not listed above, contact your doctor or pharmacist.
HOW TO USE GINSENG: THIS PRODUCT: Take this herbal product by mouth as directed. Dosage is based on its use and the source of the herb. Because ginseng may make it difficult to sleep, do not take it near bedtime. Use of ginseng for long periods of time (several months or more) is not recommended. Siberian ginseng should not be taken for longer than 3 weeks. If your condition worsens or if you think you may have a serious medical problem, seek immediate medical attention.
GINSENG USES: Ginseng has been used to increase endurance and stamina. It has also been used to strengthen the body to fight fatigue and stress and thereby improve physical and mental performance. It is considered to be an "adaptogen", which is a substance that may normalize the conditions of the body to help reduce stress and resist disease. Siberian ginseng, from a different species of ginseng, has been used to boost the immune system, therefore it may increase resistance to colds and other mild infections. The FDA has not reviewed this product for safety or effectiveness. Consult your doctor or pharmacist for more details.
GINSENG PRECAUTIONS: If you have any of the following health problems, consult your doctor before using this product: high or low blood pressure, fever, cancer, diabetes, heart problems, any allergies. Patients allergic to one type of ginseng should avoid taking the other types. Ginseng may lower blood sugar levels. Diabetic patients must monitor blood levels carefully while using this product. Liquid preparations of this product may contain sugar and/or alcohol. Caution is advised if you have diabetes, alcohol dependence or liver disease. Ask your doctor or pharmacist about the safe use of this product. Ginseng is not recommended for use during pregnancy. Consult your doctor before using this product. It is unknown if this product is excreted into breast milk. Because of the potential risk to the infant, breast-feeding while using this product is not recommended. Consult your doctor before breast-feeding.
GINSENG DRUG INTERACTIONS: Before using this product, tell your doctor or pharmacist of all prescription and nonprescription medications you may use, especially of "blood thinners" (e.g., warfarin), MAO inhibitors (e.g., furazolidone, moclobemide, phenelzine, procarbazine, selegiline), antipsychotic drugs (e.g., phenothiazines such as chlorpromazine); other stimulants including caffeine-containing products (e.g., coffee, cola); corticosteroids (e.g., prednisone); or anti-diabetic medicines. Check all nonprescription medicine labels carefully, especially appetite suppressants and cough-and-cold preparations, since many may contain stimulants (e.g., phenylpropanolamine, pseudoephedrine). Consult your pharmacist.
GINSENG OVERDOSE: If overdose is suspected, contact your local poison control center or emergency room immediately. Symptoms of overdose may include trouble sleeping or swelling of ankles, feet, face, or hands.
GINSENG NOTES: There are three types of ginseng: American, Asian (Chinese and Korean), and Siberian. Siberian ginseng is from a different species of ginseng and may have different effects. Because of the different types and grades of ginseng which vary widely in quality, and the addition of ephedrine and caffeine in some of the products, it is important to read product labeling carefully.
MISSED GINSENG DOSE: If you miss a dose, use it as soon as you remember. If it is near the time of the next dose, skip the missed dose and resume your usual dosing schedule. Do not "double-up" the dose to catch up.
GINSENG STORAGE: Refer to storage information printed on the package. If you have any questions about storage, ask your pharmacist.

TwiIt seems so natural to many people now, that it's a hazy memory of a time when it wasn't possible to catch up on the latest news stories or updates from celebrities on your mobile, in the same amount of time it takes to step off the tube, jump on the escalator and order a latte in the coffee shop next door. In the modern world people want information quickly and in an easily digestible format, and this helps to explain the growth in popularity of Twitter since its inception six years ago.
The most striking thing about the use of social media in 2012 is the normality of it for many. Almost half of the GB population has accessed Facebook in the last three months, for example. Although it's by no means universal, and there are certain groups who tend to be drawn to different sites, it's clear that social media has become an increasingly important part of people's lives and has completely changed the dynamics of how media is consumed.
One of the most telling technological changes of the last few years is the increasingly mainstream usage of smartphones. At Ipsos MediaCT, we know that 9.5 hours of smartphone users' time is spent on social media apps each month. Twitter accounts for nearly 3 hours, and Facebook just over 5.
The three hours spent on Twitter is notable when you consider that Facebook has a lot more users in GB than Twitter (46% vs. 12%). We also know from our MediaCT Tech Tracker that Twitter users access the site via their mobile almost as much as they do using traditional devices like a PC/laptop (65% vs. 67%). It seems that Twitter is perfectly matched to a device that people are well used to for consuming snippets of up to date information on the move.
Twitter users aren't quite as broadly spread across society than Facebook users. Most are male, they are typically more affluent, and are also more likely to be working. Well over half (58%) of Twitter users are aged 15-34, compared to 47% of Facebook users. This could change in the coming years as social media becomes even more mainstream. Facebook has attracted new users from older generations in recent years, and the same could happen with Twitter.
However, there are commentators who have questioned the hype surrounding Twitter by highlighting it as still being very niche, and pointing to the relatively low proportion of its members who tweet on a regular basis. There are also challenges emerging in 2012 to the principles of free speech that made Twitter such a unique tool for sharing opinions and ideas in 2011, such as during the Arab Spring revolts. Governments now want tweets to fall in line with laws within their own country regarding what can or cannot be said by its citizens.
2012 is set to be another interesting year for social media. Although Twitter is some way behind Facebook and is certainly more niche in terms of the demographics of its users, its impact on the world in the last five years has certainly been considerable in terms of allowing people to share ideas and changing the interactivity of TV and events. Arguably the numbers who are using their smartphones to access the site suggests that it's only going to grow as more of the population become used to consuming information on the move.

There are several "social host" laws, on the books by the State of Maryland, that pertain to civil and criminal responsibilities involved in serving alcohol to others. When hosting a party and alcohol is available to minors or when charging others to consume alcohol, there is significant risk for the host.
Here are a few tips to think about when hosting a party to create an environment where your guests are making low-risk CHOICES about alcohol consumption:
•If you are going to serve drinks, mix it up. Serve non-alcoholic drinks in between alcoholic drinks.
•Avoid large distribution devices such as kegs.
•Avoid drinking games; they increase the likelihood that one or more of your guest will get out of control. Drinking games create two potential problems: ingesting alcohol rapidly and ingesting alcohol with high liquor content. Both problems will lead to impairment.
•Have food available. Even though this may add some expense, food helps to slow down the rate of alcohol absorption and will reduce the overall focus of the party on drinking. To reduce costs ask your guest to bring a dish, make it a potluck.
•Have activities, so that people are moving and not sitting around drinking.
•Plan when your party will start and when it will be over. When you set time limits it will help avoid pre-gaming or extending the party into overtime.
•Have non- alcoholic beverages available for guests who choose not to drink and to encourage other guests to consume other non-alcoholic beverages.
•Demonstrate good-host practices by avoiding intoxication. Model the behaviors you would want your guest to follow.
•Monitor guests who show signs of intoxication and encourage them to reduce their drinking by establishing limits.
•Make it clear to your invited guests that they must let you know in advance if they are bringing guest.
•Only allow invited guests to attend your party. A large party in an apartment often becomes unmanageable.
•Allowing guest you do not know may create some party related problems such as someone stealing from you, assaulting you or your guests and damaging your property.
•Never serve alcohol to minors or charge admission to guests. This increases your civil and criminal liability if something goes wrong.
•Avoid serving drinks with high alcohol content, such as jungle juice or hard liquor. The risk of impairment is increased when guest consume high alcohol content beverages, and this will increase the likelihood of your guests using poor judgment.
•Avoid pushing drinks on your guests. Make sure their glass is empty before refilling and avoid mixing drinks that have heavy amounts of alcohol.
•If your guests are bringing alcohol to the party, recommend that they only bring beer / wine which can be an appropriate request on your part as the host.
•Be a good neighbor and let your neighbors know in advance when you are having a party.
•Keep your noise and music levels appropriate and make sure your guests are parking in designated areas to avoid conflict with your neighbors.
•Remember the purpose of this party is to socialize and enjoy the company of friends, not to simply consume alcohol.
•The University of Baltimore is a wonderful community where students and full-time residents co-exist in the Mid-town community.

Atlanta Auction March 29
Foreclosure Sales are Up Nationwide
There has been a lot of attention to nationwide foreclosures in the news lately. The number of foreclosures is up this month, and looks pretty drastic. This is partly because of the moratorium on foreclosures in December and through February, awaiting word from the White House on how the federal government would intervene. Now that the moratorium is over, foreclosed properties that were already set for auction have been again scheduled for sale, and now there is a backlog of them.
Foreclosures are pressuring the real estate market in many cities, …

It's a common news story these days: A bus on the highway crashes, resulting in multiple deaths and injuries. And the official cause is "driver fatigue." Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., backed by the Amalgamated Transit Union (ATU) and the AFL-CIO, has a bill, the Driver Fatigue Prevention Act (S.487), to reduce such tragedies by extending the Fair Labor Standards Act's overtime pay provisions to intercity bus drivers. For over 50 years the Department of Transportation has precluded overtime laws from applying to such travel. The ATU in recent weeks has stepped up pressure for passage of the bill, unveiled last March.
Among the criticisms of the new Senate immigration bill is the secretive manner in which it was written. And given the details, it's hardly any wonder that the eight senators overseeing the proceedings - the "Gang of Eight" - refused to hold hearings or debates until after the bill's release. Case in point: Tucked away in the measure are two sections that would route a combined $150 million or more to "public or private, non-profit organizations" that are "community, faith-based or other immigrant-serving." Recipient groups could use funds to aid potentially tens of millions of illegal immigrants and family members to obtain lawful permanent resident status and eventual citizenship.
If there were any doubts that the oft-used term "comprehensive immigration reform" is a stalking-horse for amnesty, a new Senate proposal unveiled yesterday should dispel them. The measure, touted as a way to fix our "broken" immigration system, will do the opposite. Not only will it demean U.S. citizenship and rule of law, it also likely will produce adverse economic effects. The main feature of the 844-page bill is that it would allow millions of illegal immigrants to apply for legal residency and eventual citizenship. Significantly, the bill bears a strong union influence. And labor officials aren't bashful about it. Ana Avendano, AFL-CIO director of immigration, declared last week: "Politicians know that if they stand in the way of citizenship we will steamroller them."
"Jobs that Americans won't do" is a weak, if common rationale for high levels of immigration. Get set for an equally dubious idea to justify immigration: "housing that Americans can't buy." Senators Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., and Mike Lee, R-Utah, are believers. And they're offering a sweet deal. On Thursday, October 20, the two lawmakers unveiled legislation, the Visa Improvements to Stimulate International Tourism to the United States of America Act, or VISIT-USA Act (S.1746), one of whose elements would provide renewable three-year resident visas to foreign nationals who invest at least $500,000 in residential real estate here. The plan thus assumes both the need for a housing industry bailout and a large injection of foreign capital toward that end. Supporters should spend some time pondering the downside.

I recently experimented with XBMC and Ps3ms
I copied the conf file of the ps3 and started building one for XBMC.
In this process i removed "H264Level41Limited=true" from the config file. because XBMC does not have this limitation.
Then i tried some Transcoding as i have movies with AAC 5.1 sound, but my Reciever only undestands AC3
The Video is Level4.1 compatible, so PMS is trying to recode the sound and to remux the video.
Unfortunately this always fails with an error in tsmuxer, which is not capable of identifying the stream.
I came up with the analysis that on transcoding AVC Streams PMS is generating data which tsmuxer is not
able to understand directly. PMS is modifying the stream according to h264 annex B. because mencoder is not able
to produce streams that are instantly usable by tsmuxer. Sadly, if the upper flag in the config file is not set
PMS is not using this 'tweak' and tsmuxer fails.
Can someone proove this so we can work this out ?

Technical Abstract: Fusarium head blight (FHB) is a destructive disease of wheat worldwide. Identification of new and novel sources of effective resistance to this disease has been an urgent need in wheat breeding. Although sources of resistance to FHB are limited in wheat, Fusarium head blight resistance has been identified in relatives of wheat. Alien chromatin carrying FHB resistance genes has been incorporated into wheat through genetic manipulation such as chromosome addition, substitution, and translocation. Relatives of wheat demonstrate a great potential to enhance resistance of wheat to FHB.

Just a couple weeks ago, it looked like the Colorado Republican Party's decision to move its precinct caucuses up to the first week in February wouldn't matter much. Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, by all appearances, was prepared to bag the first three presidential nominating contests — in Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina — leaving it to subsequent states merely to nod their approval and endorse the presumptive nominee.
But things didn't work out so smoothly for Romney. When all the results were in, it turned out he only won New Hampshire, trailing former Pennsylvania U.S. Sen. Rick Santorum by a handful of votes in Iowa and losing big to former House Speaker Newt Gingrich in South Carolina, throwing the contest back up for grabs, and thrusting Colorado's GOP presidential straw poll on Feb. 7 into the national spotlight.
"It's a testament to putting ourselves in that position," said Chuck Poplstein, executive director of the state GOP. "We thought moving it up would give us a better chance of having a better say in the process, and that's exactly what you're seeing happening."
As the four remaining Republican presidential candidates battle it out for the chance to take on Democratic President Barack Obama — the fourth candidate, Texas Congressman Ron Paul, though he hasn't won a contest yet, can count on a solid slice of avid support for his no-nonsense brand of libertarian conservatism — Colorado's caucuses could be a chance for Romney to reclaim the lead by repeating the dominant win he scored in 2008, or state Republicans could prolong the fight by tapping another candidate.
On Feb. 7, tens of thousands of registered Republicans will convene in schools, church basements and community centers statewide. While the precinct caucus stands as the first step in the candidate nominating process for county, state and federal offices, it's also an occasion for parties to organize themselves at the most grassroots level by electing precinct captains — the bulk of every county's party central committee — and considering resolutions that could become planks in party platforms. But this year, a nonbinding presidential preference poll, conducted by secret ballot before most of each caucus's routine business gets underway, will be the focus of a national battle set to descend on Colorado next week.
Colorado Republicans voted in late September to move up the caucus date from March 6 — that's when Democrats will be holding theirs, although those promise to be quieter affairs without a presidential or statewide contests — with an eye toward standing out from a crowd of 10 other states registering preferences on the March date, known as Super Tuesday.
Poplstein said he doesn't expect any confusion as the parties caucus on different dates this year for the first time. "While the Democrats are sitting there waiting until their date, Republicans have the spotlight early, and we're getting attention. The Democrats don't have that — we're getting the momentum," he said.
Only five states will have reported GOP presidential results before Colorado and Minnesota, which hold caucuses on the same night, though the ranking gets complicated. Maine Republicans start caucusing on Feb. 4 but don't post results until Feb. 11, and Missouri's Feb. 7 primary doesn't pick delegates. As it stands, only the Jan. 31 Florida primary and the Feb. 4 Nevada caucuses stand between the Republican candidates' scattered early finishes and Colorado's chance to weigh in.
"The minute Florida's over, you're going to see everyone flip a switch over here," said Poplstein. He added that all four GOP presidential contenders are ramping up activity in the state but warned that Coloradans ain't seen nothing yet. "If something happens in Florida," he said, and then paused, considering the enormity of what could soon descend on the state. "Some things could happen that could explode it here," he said. "That'll all depend."
The only public polling conducted so far in Colorado — albeit nearly two months ago, an eternity in this Republican primary — showed Gingrich with a wide lead over Romney among likely GOP caucus attendees, even though the state is considered Romney territory. A Public Policy Polling survey released on Dec. 6 had Gingrich nearly 20 points ahead of Romney, with Minnesota Congresswoman Michele Bachmann — who has since withdrawn from the race — and other candidates down in single digits.
In 2008, during his first presidential run, Romney clobbered the competition with 60 percent of the vote in the Colorado preference poll, ahead of eventual nominee Arizona Sen. John McCain's 18 percent and former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee's 13 percent. Ron Paul trailed with 8 percent of the vote, followed by a passel of contenders who failed to break 1 percent support. (Colorado's 2008 caucuses fell on Super Tuesday, and Romney dropped out of the race the next day after McCain swept most of the other states.)
But that was when Romney was considered the more conservative of the candidates, a mantle claimed this time around by all three of his remaining competitors. This year, none of the campaigns are ceding the state's 36 delegates for a nomination some expect could drag on until the Republican National Convention in late August.
All four campaigns are starting to organize in the state, Poplstein said, although with most of the attention so far back east, Colorado has yet to see the enormous advertising barrages that are currently pummeling voters with closer contests. Paul's is the only campaign to have opened an office in Colorado, though Romney has so far claimed the lion's share of high-profile endorsements and has the most visible organization in place.
Details are sketchy, but GOP officials say to expect visits by all four candidates in coming weeks. Paul would be the first to land in Colorado, with three scheduled events on Jan. 31. Romney will be here Feb. 6 and 7, with a fundraiser planned for one night. Santorum and Gingrich both plan to campaign in Colorado, Poplstein said, though their campaigns didn't respond to requests from The Colorado Statesman for details.
While the presidential preference poll results will yield the numbers that make headlines, Republicans won't pick delegates empowered with nominating a candidate until later assemblies in March and April, although the process starts at caucuses. From there, each precinct sends a predetermined number of delegates on to county assemblies — where some counties have fewer delegates than usual because they're allocated based on the 2010 vote for the Republican candidate for governor, when nominee Dan Maes drew an historically low vote — and those assemblies elect delegates on to the next steps, congressional district assemblies and the state confab on April 14 in Denver.
Colorado gets to send 36 delegates — and 33 alternates — on to the RNC in Tampa, Fla., at the end of August, and that's where delegates finally get to vote for a presidential nominee. Each congressional district picks three delegates and an equal number of alternates to the RNC, and a dozen delegates and alternates will be elected at the state assembly. In addition, state GOP chairman Ryan Call and the two Republican National Committee members are automatic RNC delegates.
This year's caucuses will be high-wire acts for a few reasons, Republicans say. Since once-a-decade reapportionment and redistricting wasn't finalized until December, county clerks didn't finish drawing precinct lines until recently, so party stalwarts used to gathering at the usual place with the usual bunch of neighbors might find themselves thrown into another precinct that meets somewhere else. To help Republican voters navigate their way to the right meetings — caucuses start promptly at 7 p.m., party officials stress — county parties and the state GOP have set up online caucus locating systems tied to voter addresses. GOP officials are encouraging voters to visit www.caucus.cologop.org to find caucus details.
Poplstein said traffic to the site — which also allows Republicans to register in advance for caucuses, though that isn't required — has exceeded expectations. "There's been a ton of traffic to the site," he said. "After New Hampshire, we got a big spike; after South Carolina, we got a big spike."
He said Republicans expect turnout to be on par with 2008's record attendance of 70,000 — that night, roughly 120,000 Democrats showed up and handed Obama a 2-to-1 victory over his rival, then-Sen. Hillary Clinton — but added that organizers will be ready if the crowds are even bigger.
Legislative candidate Rick Enstrom told The Statesman he anticipates tremendous crowds at GOP caucuses this year.
"Everybody here is champing at the bit, has the wind at their back," he said during a Jefferson County Republican Party meeting last Saturday in Lakewood where precinct committee people gathered to prepare for the big night. "I know — mixed metaphors — but they're ready to roll!"

Here's one way to bring more women into your dealership: Harley-Davidson of Knoxville will show more than just motorclothes at a special event this spring: the dealership will host a catwalk for Knoxville's first Fashion Week.
Every fashionista has heard of the Mercedes Benz-sponsored fashion week in New York. But entrepreneur Jaime Hemsley decided Knoxville, Tenn., has enough of a homegrown fashion scene to support the city's own showcase for local designers.
To generate extra interest, Hemsley lined up local businesses to host runway shows between Feb. 29 and March 4. The show at Knoxville Harley-Davidson West is the grand finale for the fashion event. It starts at 8 p.m. March 3. Tickets are $30 each, available from the Fashion Week website.

Hi Bike Reviews readers!
I am happy to announce that last September we officially launched Bike Reviews and managed to cover InterBike live as press. It came from a huge push by all staff at Bike Reviews, seeing how the domain name was just acquired a month before launching.
Since Bike Reviews went live, we have received a great deal of inquires, many of which challenge our mission statement's pledge to review bikes. After all, a site with a name like Bike Reviews should review bicycles, right? Now, back at home, our top priority is to offer just that, an intuitive bike index containing in depth reviews on an array of bicycles. But first we must finish constructing the site, which can take a while so please bare with us.
In the interim, we will continue to work diligently on completing the framework of Bike Reviews while maintaining…

The Modulus system adapts to just about any situation, with its adjustable length with two locking ports.

From Arenus – St. Charles, MO – July 12, 2012 - What do Open and Non Pro NRHA Derby champions Shawn Flarida, J. Harper Conner, Jose Vazquez, and Sean McBurney have in common? A winning formula for success that includes Arenus products ASSURE®Guard and SORE NO-MORE®.
Jose Vazquez, who won the Non Pro Derby Level 4 with Moonshine Juice, and placed Slj Ruf Juice sixth in the same derby, observed, "We went to the NRBC and won. We went to the Derby and won. What could be better than that?" Reiners using Arenus products won or finished near the top of all four levels of Open and Non Pro Finals at the 2012 National Reining Horse Association (NRHA) Derby Show, June 24-30, at the State Fair Arena, Oklahoma City, OK.
In addition to winning the Open Derby Level 4, Shawn Flarida earned two of the top five scores of the Derby Show, topping the leader board with the 226.5 win in Level 4 on Michell Kimball's Spooks Gotta Whiz, and scoring 225.0, on Gus and Gaynia Revenberg's Quistador, to also finish fifth. Shawn says, "My horses depend on good digestion. That's the reason I use the ASSURE Guard System. When my horses get to the show, they're ready to go. I'm not worried about my horses having ulcers because they're comfortable, they have energy, they are focused and they are feeling they're best." And Spooks Gotta Whiz was definitely feeling his best. CinderLakesRanch.com reported "The crowd roared from the moment Spooks Gotta Whiz ran into the arena for his crack at pattern 10. They were not disappointed." For a video of Shawn's winning run, go to http://cinderlakesranch.com/horses.
The Open Derby Level 3 saw much of its top ten also powered by Arenus products, including first-place Sean McBurney, riding Brian Knutson's Chics Loaded Gun, fourth-place Troy L. Heikes on Denise Bixler's Lil Gun Dunit, eighth-place Robin Schoeller on Miz Wisconsin for B. Elizabeth Himes, and tenth-place Brent Naylor on Reining Whiz for BNE Syndicate, LLC. Praising Mc Burney, NRHA.com said: "Sean guided Chics Loaded Gun to a score of 220.5 to top the Level 3 Open division. They also earned finalist honors in the Level 4 Open division and nearly $30,000."
Above, Sean McBurney poses with Chics Loaded Gun for his Level 3 Open win.
Arenus was represented in the ribbons in every Open Derby Level, thanks to Schoeller, who was fourth on Miz Wizconsin in Level 2, and Roy Van Der Hoeven, fifth in Level 1 on SI Lenas Starlight for Sweet Lake Land & Oil Co., LLC, and an assistant for Gabe Hutchins. Rounding out an elite cast of Open finalists were Todd Sommers and Mike McEntire.
ASSURE Guard and SORE NO-MORE users also proved unstoppable in the Non Pros, with J. Harper Conner winning the Level 1 and 2 Finals, and placing fourth in Level 3, with Conner Petra Zeitler's Sparkling Bells.
Also counting on Arenus in the arena was Heather Johnson, third in the Novice Horse Open Level 1, on Stephanie Edman's Surprizen The Chicks, and Morris H. Kulmer's Dreamy Little Sailor, who won the 7 & UP Level 4 Open ridden by Andrea Fappani.
As a proud sponsor of the NRHA Derby Show, Arenus gave awards for the top three placings in 11 divisions. Champions received a 9.4-lb pail of ASSURE Guard, reserve champions received a 3.5-lb. ASSURE Guard, and third-place received a month's supply of STEADFAST Canine Small Breed.
Arenus also donated a percentage of all sales at Oklahoma City to the Reining Horse Sports Foundation (RHSF), giving back in support of the foundation's efforts to help NRHYA (youth), international reining efforts and the Dale Wilkinson Crisis Fund.

Climate deniers put Earth, humanity at risk
Charles Krauthammer, in "The myth of 'settled science'," (Opinion, Feb. 23), denies being a climate denier and tells us that he believes "it cannot be good for humanity to be spewing tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere."
He then argues that the tiny number of scientists who doubt the reality of climate change may possibly be correct and that anyone who advocates taking action based on the consensus of the vast majority of scientists are either propagandists or whores.
Meanwhile, glaciers melt, oceans rise, coral reefs die from ocean acidification, storm damages worsen, wildfire seasons lengthen and we continue to spew carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. Someday, science may finally "settle" to the point that even Krauthammer is convinced.
By then, it may be too late. We will be like someone who awakens to the smoke alarm and smells the smoke, but decides to wait before calling 911. After all, there could be other reasons for the alarm and the smell and we wouldn't want to waste the taxpayers' money on false alarms.

Oakland's rent law should be changed
The absurd clause in Oakland's rent-control law allowing landlords to charge their tenants for capital improvements needs to be eliminated altogether ("Oakland rent law under fire as one couple faces 112 percent rent hike," March 8).
Landlords should not be allowed to pass any of the cost of capital improvements to their tenants through rent increases -- especially because all repairs, other than capital improvements, on rental property are 100 percent deductible from the landlord's taxes.
The government, in effect, is paying for all the landlord's repairs, and now these landlords want their tenants to pay the only expense left: capital improvements? Landlords own the property; they would have to maintain the roof, the exterior of the building, etc., even if the building was vacant.
Rental property is an investment, not a ticket to ride for free. Basic common sense and fair play demands that the capital improvements clause be eliminated from Oakland's rent control laws immediately.

More must be done to prevent cybercrime
As reports of cybercrime are becoming more common, I have begun to question the safety of my personal information in the hands of others. It was when the recent security breach at Target surfaced that I realize how much personal information I have out there and the possible risk of it being compromised by cybercriminals.
Many companies and other institutions have moved all their records online, making those hot targets for cybercriminals. It makes me wonder how vulnerable I am to identity theft, knowing that my information is in the hands of multiple places such as my employer, my school and everywhere I shop.
Cybercrime is more common than people think and our government needs to take more measures to ensure that our private information is protected.

Not accepting letter of protest was an insult
As a writer, I stand with Cecile Pineda, author of "Devil's Tango," and her anti-nuclear power readers. Pineda wrote a message to Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, representing the members of No Nukes Action at the third anniversary of Fukushima disaster rally.
During this rally, no one came from the Japanese Consulate to accept the letter, though it always has happened before. Pineda says of the Japanese secrecy law, passed Dec. 7, 2013, "The law provides for up to 10 year's imprisonment for anyone who either inquires or reports anything about the status of your three meltdowns at Fukushima Daiichi."
At each of the last 19 rallies in front of the Japanese Consulate, a person has come out to accept our message. This time, it didn't happen. We at the rally were furious about the indignity to the Fukushima victims.

New lights in Oakland aren't an improvement
As a property owner who pays for Oakland city lighting, I protest the new, harsh blue lights that have replaced the old, warm bright ones.
They are cold and leave scary shadows. They invite crime. Oakland at night now resembles the dark side of the moon.

Three years ago Swedish container producer ILAB and Polish manufacturer Janusz Kiedrowski came up with a winning idea: to produce a stronger and lighter household waste container that costs as much as a regular container. Today the idea is a reality, thanks in part to high strength steel from SSAB.
"Our target was to reduce the weight by 25 percent," says Bo Silén, managing director and owner of ILAB in Sweden. "We achieved this with the new LV-M containers, using stronger, thinner steel. Now the containers weigh 800 kilos less, which means our customers can carry 600 tons more per year than a regular container but at the same price."
The new containers were designed and produced in close cooperation with SSAB and ILAB's manufacturing partner, Janusz Kiedrowski (JK). At a brand-new, state-of-the-art facility in Byslaw, Poland, mass production of the containers will begin in November 2011, using a mix of Docol 1000, Hardox and Domex 700.
"The lighter containers mean that customers can increase their payload or decrease fuel consumption, which benefits the environment," says Janusz Kiedrowski, managing director and owner of JK. "The containers also require less steel and welding."
According to Lukasz Piechal, regional sales manager for SSAB EMEA, all three companies worked closely together to design the containers and test the prototypes. ILAB and JK also received special training from SSAB in how to work with high strength steel.
"The container industry has been built up by practical people," says Bo Silén. "Now we have SSAB's theoretical expertise to take us to the next level."

It isn't officially Christmas season for this Killers fan until the annual release of their holiday song...something they've been doing for the last six years. Brandon Flowers and the boys don't disappoint with this year's "The Cowboys' Christmas Ball," which has a catchy country sound with their trademark Las Vegas flair. The video is their typical silliness--funky suits, goofy expressions and, of course, a robot alien breakdancing at a holiday hoedown.
For your enjoyment, here's your first look at "The Cowboys' Christmas Ball"...
Now just for fun, let's look at the videos of the songs from years past. We'll start with 2010's "Boots," which includes an ode to the 1946 movie classic, It's a Wonderful Life.
The 2009 song "Happy Birthday Guadalupe!" is a heartbreaker featuring the one and only Luke Perry. (Sorry--he'll never be anyone but Dylan McKay to me.)
"Joseph, Better You Than Me," from 2008, features Elton John and Neil Tennant from the Pet Shop Boys and has extensive footage from the 1951 movie The Living Christ Series. I think it's a little dull, especially the video. (Wait, maybe I should I have told you that after you watched it?)
Okay, I'm wide awake again and loving 2007's "Don't Shoot Me Santa." This song is a blast of fun with ugly sweaters galore and Brandon tied up with some tinsel.
And, lastly, my all-time personal fave, "A Great Big Sled" (2006), is just so energetic and happy with its youthful sound and lyrics like: "I want to roll around like a kid in the snow. I want to relearn what I already know." It makes me want to make snow angels and catch snowflakes on my tongue. However, it should be noted that if Brandon was dancing around in a tutu singing "Jingle Bells" I'd probably think it was a pretty awesome performance. He's on my Obsessed list.
All of these songs are available on iTunes and the proceeds go to the RED campaign.
Which song did you like the best? How does the new one compare to the others? And what are your favorite songs to listen to around the holidays?

I'm starting to lose track of how many people have come to me in the last
few days whining about "the board signing the cda/nda".
in 2004 (go check the minute archives) hp was pressuring the board to sign
an nda, essentially saying sign or we won't talk to you. you can easily see
in the archives where the board DID approve the WORDING of the nda (after
extensive negociations with hp) but NO WHERE will you see that the board
SIGNED an nda.
because IT DID NOT HAPPEN!
additionally, http://www.openmpe.org/minutes/Minutes20051215.htm clearly
shows that hp relented.
hp and the board have operated all these years under a 'gentlepersons'
understanding that our conversations are private. it's been this
understanding that fostered an atmosphere of trust for hp, showing that
openmpe was/is/and remains serious about our quest to preserve mpe's future.
no one is more frustrated than the board about how long this process has
taken. but I'll dare to say that it has only been openmpe's board that's
had the dogged determination to 'keep after hp' regarding mpe. when anyone
else can show that they've continuously worked for hp for one purpose, then
maybe the nay-saying and otherwise faithless support of openmpe will be
- d 'speaking for myself and not the board'

Credit Suisse Hires Two Former Samsung Securities Bankers
This post has been updated.
Credit Suisse AG has made two senior appointments from Samsung Securities, just as the Korean firm scales back its international operations.
The Swiss bank said in a statement it appointed Viktor Shvets as a managing director and head of Asia Pacific thematic equity research, a new position based in Hong Kong.
Mr. Shvets was head of research and chief strategist for Samsung Securities in Hong Kong, and before that was co-head of Emerging Europe, Middle East and Africa equity research at Lehman Brothers and then Nomura in London.
Credit Suisse also appointed Timothy Ross as a managing director and head of Asia Pacific transport research in Singapore.
Mr. Ross headed Asian transport and infrastructure research at Samsung Securities. From 1998 to 2005 he ran the regional transport-research team in Asia for UBS AG; he returned to the bank last year before moving to Samsung Securities.
Last month, Samsung Securities said it would exit equity sales, execution of trades and markets research outside of South Korea to focus on its Korean equities business. It employed about 100 people in Hong Kong, most focused on equity sales. Samsung's retrenchment from Hong Kong marked the end of its ambitions to become one of the city's largest brokerages and build out an investment bank.
Nomura also hired two automobile analysts from Samsung Securities this week, while Macquarie hired an ex-Samsung Securities director for its China equity sales team.

Staten Island Player of the Year Joins Southampton Graduate Campus Men's Basketball
S.I. High School Star Greg Testaverde, Texas A&M Transfer John Stevens Are Among 7 Top RecruitsContact: Joe Dionisio
(516) 287-8360
Two top national prospects are among seven new recruits who will join the Southampton Graduate Campus Men's Basketball team for 1996-97.
Greg Testaverde, a 6-3 shooting guard, was the 1995-96 Staten Island Player of the Year and winner of the Warren Jacques Memorial Award. At St. Joseph by the Sea H.S., he totaled 1168 career points and averaged 23.2 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists per game.
"I'm excited to be part of such a growing program," said Testaverde, of Southeast Annadale, N.Y. "I think we have the talent to be one of the best Division II teams in the country."
John Stevens, a 6-9 forward/center, transferred from Texas A&M where he was First-Team All Region and First-Team All Conference. The Irvington, N.J., resident averaged 9 points, 6 rebounds and 2 blocks per game.
"Playing for Southampton and learning from a professional like Coach (Sidney) Green will make me a better player," said Stevens, who also played at Lamar Junior College in Colorado.
The Runnin' Colonials' season opens Nov. 22 at the Southern Connecticut Tournament.
Former Knick Sidney Green, whose 1995-96 coaching debut gave the men their best season in 15 years, says these additions can make Southampton one of the nation's best Division II programs.
"We're thrilled to have such outstanding players join us this year," said Green. "It says a lot about our program's reputation that we are now able to get seven recruits of this caliber."
Kosta Diamantis, a 6-2 shooting guard, comes from South Shore H.S. in Brooklyn. He was nominated All City, and averaged 15 points, 4 rebounds and 2 steals per game. Diamantis has a career high 96% free throw percentage.
Noel Diaz, a 5-10 point guard from Middletown H.S., was a First-Team All Star, County All Star, and team captain and MVP. Diaz, of Middletown , N.Y., averaged 18.9 points and 8 assists per game.
Karlton McCants, a 6-10 center from Mt. Vernon, N.Y., transferred from SUNY Cobleskill. He ranks second in the school's history in career rebounds and blocked shots.
New Recruits 2-2-2Marcus Simmons, a 6-7 forward, also transferred from SUNY Cobleskill, where he became the school's all-time leading rebounder. The Newburgh, N.Y. resident was a First-Team NJCAA All-American, and was twice selected First-Team All Region and First-Team All Conference. Simmons' 66.5 field goal percentage is a school record.
Bradley Washington, a 6-2 shooting guard from Baldwin H.S., was an All County selection in 1996. As team captain, the native of Queens averaged 16 points, 8 rebounds and 2 assists per game.
The seven recruits join returning players Kevin Fleming, Josh Gorman, David Harrison, Isaiah Russell, Andrew Francis, Nick and Paul Warywoda, Wally Midgley and Ron Cromer.
Last season, Southampton went 16-13, earning a bid to the ECAC playoffs, its first post-season appearance since 1972. The Runnin' Colonials also won the 1995-96 Sam Schoenfeld Sportsmanship Award.

Per Daniel 5:25–28:
And this is the writing that was inscribed: mina, mina, shekel, half-mina.

Though Taylor Swift could arguably persuade almost any artist to join her onstage to trade a few lyrics—she's performed with everyone from Faith Hill to Nicki Minaj, Justin Bieber, Stevie Nicks and Def Leppard—the 21-year-old singer says she considers more than just her duet partners' musical skills; she also considers attitude.
"I really tend to go and gravitate towards the nice people in whatever genre I'm kind of hanging out in at the time," she tells The Tennessean [1]. "If I'm in L.A., the people I'm going to call [to] come hang out and play a song in my show are the nice people that I've had really great experiences with, who've been awesome and sincere. That's the same thing in Nashville."
Taylor brings her Speak Now Tour to Nashville's Bridgestone Arena Friday and Saturday (Sept. 16 and 17) for two sold-out shows, but she doesn't give any hints as to who her special guests might be. "I hate to advertise things before they happen, but I also have friends in Nashville whose music I'm a fan of," she says, "and it could be really fun."
