Carol Ney was paid overtime as a Harahan police officer to help victims of crime, work that was paid for through a federal grant.
But federal prosecutors say that Ms. Ney, who was terminated in January, didn't earn the $10,840 in overtime that she was paid between October 2009 and September 2010.
A bill of information filed by the U.S. attorney's office accuses her of falsifying her time sheets. Ms. Ney is entitled to presumption of innocence. However, a bill of information is usually a signal that a defendant is planning to enter a guilty plea.
Prosecutors say that the work in question -- paid by the Harahan Police Department and reimbursed through a federal grant -- was never done at all or was performed during regular hours. If that's the case, Ms. Ney cheated the public out of money and crime victims out of help that they should have received.
Ms. Ney made $33,040 as a police officer, so the amount she's accused of taking is substantial.
Former Police Chief Peter Dale said that he did not "fool with grants,'' while he was chief and that each grant had its own administrator. He refused to identify who administered the grant that paid for Ms. Ney's overtime.
But Mac Dickinson, Harahan's new chief, has a different philosophy, and he deserves credit for discovering the problem and swiftly acting on it. He said that he noted discrepancies while preparing to take over the job from Mr. Dale, who was leaving office because of term limits.
Chief Dickinson suspended Ms. Ney his first week on the job and fired her after an internal investigation raised suspicions that she had mishandled a grant.
"I'm focused on running an efficient and effective department,'' he said. Rooting out corruption is an important part of doing so.

Juicing Mobile Payments

Technology seems to change almost in the blink of an eye these days. Ten years ago few of us had cell phones; last year, data from the Pew Internet and American Life Project showed that 56 percent of Americans had a smartphone. Mobile wallets, too, have been percolating for almost a decade but have yet to gain widespread saturation in the retail market.
Mobile payments first appeared in 1997 when a few vending machines in Helsinki, Finland, were enabled to accept payment via text message. The latest variation is the "touchless" system that requires users to do little more than swipe their phones across a reader. One iteration, the Isis Mobile Wallet, allows consumers to create a "digital wallet" loaded with payment options, loyalty programs and discount offers. Usage of the free app isn't widespread but is growing daily — the system can now be used at a number of national retailers like CVS, Office Depot and Petco.
In mid-November Jamba Juice began giving away a free small smoothie or 12 oz. juice daily to every customer with an Isis app on her phone; the promotion will continue until the restaurant has given away 1 million free drinks.
"We knew this would resonate well with our customers because they're already tech-savvy," Jamba Juice CTO Robert Notte says. "Digital wallets are a great brand fit for Jamba. It's cool, quick and convenient."
He says they have so far been very pleased with redemption rates and that most locations are seeing weekly gains of 30 percent in the number of customers using mobile payments.
Technology drives adoption
While touchless payments totaled only $4 billion in 2012, they will grow to $191 billion annually by 2017, according to an October 2012 report from market research firm ABI Research. Isis chief sales officer Jim Stapleton says the Europay MasterCard Visa mandate being pushed by credit card issuers will fuel the growth.
As proposed for the United States, EMV would be more secure than current magnetic stripe technology but less secure than chip-and-PIN systems favored by retailers because it would still allow a fraud-prone signature to be used rather than a secure personal identification number. Retailers aren't necessarily interested in spending billions to replace perfectly functioning card readers with ones that don't offer full security but card companies are nonetheless using changes in their agreements to force a change. Whichever system is installed, however, the equipment is expected to be compatible with smartphone payments.
"The EMV mandate will change things," Stapleton says. "There is already a healthy base of readers out there but there is a deadline coming where these readers have to be replaced and 85 percent of terminals will be touchless-enabled by the year 2016."
In addition, more consumer phones will soon support the technology. According to "EMV: The Catalyst for a New U.S. Payment Ecosystem," a report by MasterCard Advisors, only a small fraction of smartphones in the United States are enabled to support touchless payments. But based on carriers' push to include near field communication capabilities and the replacement rate of phones by consumers (1.7 years for the average American), the report projected that 50 percent of smartphones will be NFC-enabled by 2015.
The Isis Mobile Wallet is one of the few not tied to a specific merchant or financial institution. Stapleton says many retailer-produced wallets are gaining traction but have limited use because they are only good for that retailer.
"This is an open platform for any bank, issuer [or] merchant to participate in and leverage," he says. "It provides value for the consumer and commerce for the retailer."
With recent high-profile data breaches at major retailers, consumers are taking a closer look at card security. Stapleton says Isis is proactive on educating consumers that the system offers a higher level of security than a physical credit or debit card. Cards used in the wallet have the same lost or stolen safeguards as the plastic version. The wallet itself is PIN-protected and has the ability to be remotely frozen if the phone is lost or stolen. Sensitive payment information is stored on a special chip in the phone and a unique ID is used for each payment transaction, making counterfeit use of the card more difficult. Actual account numbers do not appear on the app or phone.
Consumer, retailer benefits
In a typical transaction, a consumer might have to use a debit or credit card, a loyalty card and a coupon. The Isis Mobile Wallet combines all of those elements in one easy-to-use application.
"It takes all the friction out of the process and makes it easy for the consumer to pay, use loyalty and do everything with [one swipe]," Stapleton says.
The Jamba Juice promotion is just an example of what is possible with the app. Promotions appear on a dedicated page in the app, allowing consumers to select their favorites or see what is available in the area based on their location. Users can also get rewards from banks and credit cards: One current promotion allows consumers to earn 20 percent cash back every time they use Isis to swipe pay through their American Express Serve account.
For retailers, Stapleton says the biggest benefits are related to consumer engagement and the ability to mobilize non-digital loyalty. He says Verizon, AT&T and T-Mobile represent almost 75 percent of cell-enabled consumers in the United States and deploy millions of handsets every year. Many of the carriers' new handsets are now pre-loaded with Isis, thus giving an ongoing boost to deployment. As cell companies are often eager to promote the wallet capabilities as a selling feature of their product, they also cross-promote retailers by displaying offers.
All three carriers are currently promoting Isis on their websites and at point-of-sale locations where consumers buy phones. Notte says Jamba Juice has used the strategy with the cell providers to display cross-promotional marketing materials in stores. It creates a unique partnership for not only Isis and mobile service providers but retailers as well.
"At the local level, we have encouraged our stores to partner with T-Mobile, Verizon and AT&T," Notte says. "Someone sees our signage about the wallet, we direct them to the [cell carriers]. And vice versa: Someone buys a new phone and sees they can get a free smoothie or juice at Jamba."
He says there is also a "big data" benefit to digital wallets because consumers are more inclined to use the loyalty program, giving the retailer better insight into purchasing patterns and consumer behavior.

NRD votes to buy 50% of Thirty Mile
The Central Platte Natural Resources District's board of directors voted Thursday to take 50% interest in the 30-Mile Canal.
The NRD will share management, income and expense responsibilities. Benefits for the NRD include the transfer of water rights to aide in getting the over-appropriated area of the district back to a fully appropriated status as required by LB 962 and the Platte River Program. This will satisfy requirements without having to regulate landowners.
Benefits for the canal shareholders are to generate adequate income to maintain their project through the rehabilitation of the canal.
The board also approved changes to the Integrated Management Plan; which the NRD developed with the Department of Natural Resources to better manage groundwater and surface water in the District.
The changes set up a new area of groundwater management consisting of those areas within the NRD whose groundwater impacts the Platte River below Chapman (parts of northern Hall County, Howard, Nance, Platte, Polk, and all of Merrick County except the southwest corner) within the Central Platte NRD.
Kent Cordes, Miller & Associates, provided an update on the bidding schedule for the Thirty Mile Canal project. Phase I will consist of 12+ miles of channel clearing and grading; split into five bid packages.
The board approved the bid date of Feb. 20 with contracts to be awarded on Feb. 23. Cordes said ideally March 1- April 1 would be beginning construction date, however; the area has been designated as habitat for the American Burying Beetle (an endangered species.) If the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the Nebraska Game & Parks Commission find that construction would disturb the beetles habitat, then construction would likely start in October 2012. The area is also subject to the Migratory Bird Act which wouldn't allow tree removal from April 1- Sept. 30.
Board member Jay Richeson of Gothenburg was selected as chairman of the water resources committee.

Eli Broad: An 'unreasonable' man on an urgent mission
Eli Broad is Los Angeles' biggest philanthropist, Jewish or otherwise. He is also a highly unreasonable man, judging by the George Bernard Shaw quote on the first page of his foundations' annual report.
"The reasonable man adapts himself to the world. The unreasonable man persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore, all progress depends on the unreasonable man."
Broad's three top unreasonable priorities are to turn around the city's and country's dysfunctional public education system, raise the level of public support for the arts, and -- a bit more reasonable -- upgrade medical and scientific research standards.
Quoting from the annual report, "We are not passive philanthropists. We don't wait for grant applications, calmly review their merits, pass out checks and wait to see if the money results in any changes for the good.
"We have a sense of urgency in our mission that extends to the goals we set, the way we operate and the standards to which we hold ourselves."
Speaking to The Journal last week, Broad estimated that through their two foundations, he and his wife Edythe have given away a total of some $2 billion, with current net assets pegged at $6 billion, give or take a few hundred million dollars.
Although the Broads' philanthropy goes back 35 years, most of the $2 billion has been dispensed in the last five years, and almost all has gone to their three priority areas.
"I realized that I got more money than my kids will ever need, and, as they say, you can't take it with you," said Broad, who, unlike most men in his position, does not hide behind spokespersons or "I'll have someone check this out for you" evasions.
Eli Broad was born 73 years ago in New York into "a liberal Jewish Democratic household" of Lithuanian immigrants, moved as a youngster with his parents to a Detroit suburb and, in 1961, headed for Los Angeles to make his fortune.
Arriving as a bright young CPA, he made his first fortune out West as a mass homebuilder, and a second one with the giant financial services company SunAmerica. He retired from business a few years ago and now works full time as a very hands-on philanthropist and all-around civic gadfly.
Broad also gives to specific Jewish causes and institutions.
"I give several hundred thousand of dollars to The Jewish Federation here every year," he said. His foundation recently donated $1 million to the National Museum of American Jewish History in Philadelphia, and also supports a children's program in Tel Aviv.
On the normal scale of charitable giving, these would be considered headline-provoking gifts, but they represent only a miniscule proportion of Broad's overall philanthropy.
In 2006, Broad said, he gave "several million dollars" to Jewish causes, out of $137.6 million distributed by his two foundations in 2006 (and $300 million in 2005).
In an interview with The Journal four years ago, Broad was more specific, saying that out of $350 million in philanthropy the previous year, $2 million went to specifically Jewish causes.
Such figures bear out the conclusions reached by researcher Gary Tobin of San Francisco, who found in a massive 2003 study that Jewish mega-donors ($10 million or above in one year), gave a mere 6 percent of their totals to Jewish causes, including support groups for Israeli universities.
The reasons given for this wide gulf in general and Jewish giving are many and not well proven. They include the ever-growing integration of Jews into American society, a redefinition of "Jewish giving" to encompass everything that "repairs the world," and the timidity of Jewish organizations in developing plans for mega-donations.
In Broad's case, while he believes in supporting Jewish causes, his philanthropic decisions are based on hardheaded business sense.
"Like venture capitalists, we look for untapped opportunities, and we make strategic investments," he declared in the annual foundation report. "As investors, we expect a quantifiable return."
With that standard in mind, Broad said, "If I find a Jewish philanthropy of merit, I will support it."

Surveys tend to go more quickly from the air than on the road, but smaller tornado tracks are sometimes difficult to see from above, and fine details can be missed. Since most tornadoes tend to be small/weak, the majority of surveys remain on the ground.
Eventually, results from surveys become available in "Storm Data", a monthly publication produced by the National Climatic Data Center in Asheville, NC.

The Shores of Capperi Potato Salad [Recipe]
I am genuinely amazed that despite the revolutionary strides our country has made in the last century in both civil rights law and handheld technology, a dull-colored, gelatinous bowl of mayonnaise-covered chunks is still our national potato salad. This blatant culinary depravity is emblematic of far deeper social issues that we are battling. This recipe is my one-woman movement to lead our country into a new era where mayonnaise is replaced by olive oil and flavor is inspired by the ancient civilizations that came before us. Greece and Rome laid the foundation of our constitution; it is now time to let them redefine our potato salad.
This dish will speak for itself, but what makes it particularly yummy is that it is tossed while still warm, letting the ingredients "melt into" the potatoes.
For those wondering about the title, capperi is Italian for capers. It is a play on words with Capri, the exquisite island off the coast of Naples on which the Roman emperor Tiberius elected to reside. (It is still possible to visit the remains of his palace on Capri which from atop stunning cliffs overlooks the perfectly azure sea below. Don't blame him. If you were emperor, where would you choose to live?) However, it proved to be against his better judgement, leaving too much power to the Praetorian in Rome. He was succeeded by his grand-nephew, the infamous Caligula.

Since it became an object of mass culture in the 1920s, football has constantly faced the issues of diversity and identity in France and Germany. Exploring positions held and parts played by foreigners and /or nationals with an immigration background in football as a sport activity and an entertainment industry appears very productive in a French-German context, especially because on both sides of the Rhine the respective definition of the Nation was founded on divergent principles.
The Colloquium will be structured in two sections. Section 1 will be focussed on diversity in professional football as covered by the media. Section 2 will adress the questions concerning diversity in amateur football.
This Junior Colloquium aims to arouse the interest of PhD students, Post-doc Students or Master Students focussing their research on immigrants culture and sport culture (football) in France and/or in Germany.
Language: French & German

So, now Indy has lost Melvin Bullitt.
It's clearly a big blow, but the larger question is: is this team done?
No, not by a long-shot.
Here's why:
1. Home games-The Colts have already played three road games. They won one. Not up to Indy's standards or our hopes, but probably good enough. The fact is that the Colts still have a major home field advantage. They haven't lost a meaningful home game since week three of 2008 when Manning was still recovering. They play one team with a winning record (Houston) at home the rest of the year. Two games are night games. I can't see the Colts going any worse than 7-1 at home. That's a formula for success in the NFL.
2. Winnable road games-If the Colts can win at home, they need only to win 2 or 3 road games to have a 10 or 11 win team at worst. Games at Oakland, Philly and Washington are all winnable. Suddenly the Pats trade of Randy Moss makes that team look infinitely less threatening.
3. Been there done that-While I so eloquently pointed out that it's not 2008, another reader has mentioned that it does feel a lot like the end of 2006. It sort of feels like 2004 as well. The truth is that this team has come back from slow starts before, just not as often as they've wiped the floor with teams. This offense is better than the 2008 team (which couldn't run at all). If you check the advanced stats, Indy's run game is fifth in power situations and 7th in fewest runs stuffed (a MASSIVE improvement over last year). The 2008 team was 21st and 27th in the same stats.
4. The 'best' AFC teams have bad offenses-It's hard to know what Pittsburgh will be, but the Colts can't be scared of the Jets or Baltimore, even on the road.
Will this team get to 12 wins? It would be difficult without a massive improvement from the defense. Can they get to 10 or 11? Sure, and I think they will. Honestly, if Tony was still around, I wouldn't be worried at all. That's not to say I don't believe in Caldwell, I just don't know if I can believe in him. My doubt has more to do with the fact that he hasn't earned my faith rather than that he's lost it.
My best guess is that Indy heads into the bye week 4-2 and plays for first place in a month against the Texans. After that, we should have a better guess as to what this team really is.

The (Sumter) Item
SUMTER — As Sonny Butler prepared to inbound the basketball for the Sumter High School varsity boys team with 28 seconds remaining in overtime of its third-round game of the Class AAAA state playoffs against North Augusta, he knew the ball was coming back his way.
"All I was thinking was 'I've got to hit this shot,'" Butler said.
Butler inbounded the ball, took the kickback and buried a 3-point basket to put the Gamecocks up for good in a 70-67 win on Tuesday at the SHS gymnasium that moves them to the Lower State championship game on Friday.
Sumter (18-10) will face Goose Creek at 8:30 p.m. on Friday at Florence Civic Center after it beat Ridge View 70-44.
"It's great to be playing in this game," said Gamecock post player Auntrell Holloway, who had a double-double of 13 points and 12 rebounds. "This is showing that all of this hard work has paid off."
Sumter coughed up a four-point lead in the final 1:22 of regulation and survived a shot at the buzzer by the Yellow Jackets that hit the rim to get to overtime tied at 53-all. North Augusta (19-7) got a 3-point play from Malik Dunbar, a trey from Christian Davis and two free throws from Chandler Harrison to go up 61-55 with 2:09 left in OT. The Yellow Jackets led 65-61 when Sumter began its comeback.
A Holloway followup with 1:02 to go cut the lead to two. The Jackets turned the ball over with 37 seconds remaining, the Gamecocks took control before having the ball knocked out of bounds under their basket. Butler inbounded to 6-foot-5 Anthony Moses, and he headed to the left corner. Moses gave him the ball right back and then set a screen.
"(Moses) set a great screen for me," said Butler, who had 13 points after the high-arching shot drained through the net to put Sumter up 66-65 with 26 seconds remaining.
"We knew Sumter had good shooters," said North Augusta head coach Al Young. "They ran a good play, and our defender just couldn't get to the shooter, and he hit the shot."
The Jackets tried to catch Sumter sleeping, throwing down the court on the inbound. The Gamecocks intercepted the ball and Butler was fouled with 18 seconds to go. He drained both free throws to make it 68-65.
North Augusta didn't go away easy though. Davis was fouled with 14 seconds left and hit both free throws to make it 68-67. Sumter turned the ball over on the inbound play, but Davis missed on a shot. Moses was fouled with six seconds remaining, and he hit both to make it 70-67.
North Augusta got a good look on a game-tying 3-pointer, but Tavarez Hall's shot hit off the rim.
"We've been in these kind of situations before this season," said Sumter head coach Sam Fuller. "We just continued to fight throughout the game, and we were able to get the victory."
Sumter had four players score in double figures. Along with Butler and Holloway, Brandon Parker had 12 and Micah McBride had 11. McBride hit three 3-pointers while Parker hit two.
Harrison led North Augusta with 18 points, while Dunbar and T.J. Sheppard had 15 apiece and Davis had 10.
The Jackets, the Region 5-AAAA champions, controlled the game through most of the first half. They led 20-16 after one quarter and scored 10 of the first 12 points in the second to go up 30-18. They were still leading 35-25 with 1:45 remaining in the first half. However, Sumter got a 3-pointer from McBride and a layup by Erick White with less than a second left to make the halftime score 35-30.
"I thought we made some ill-advised decisions at the end of the second quarter," Young said. "We were in control of the game and let it get away from us."
Sumter took control at the start of the third quarter, outscoring North Augusta 14-4 to go in front 44-39. It looked as though Sumter's depth began to show.
"This is what we've done all year long," Fuller said of rotating 10 to 12 players in and out of the game. "They guys know they're going to play, so when the opportunity comes, they're ready to make plays."
Sumter chose to take off some clock in the fourth quarter and North Augusta climbed back in the game.
North Augusta (19-7)—Christian Davis 10, Malik Dunbar 15, TJ Sheppard 15, Kenny Finley 1, Chandler Harrison 18, Tavarez Hall 8.
Sumter(18-10)—Kyles 2, Butler 13, McBride 11, Parker 12, White 7, Rembert 4, Holloway 13, Kershaw 2, Moses 6.

All India Bank Employees Two-Day Strike from Wednesday
By IANS - NEW DELHI
Published: 17th December 2013 10:47 PM
Last Updated: 17th December 2013 10:47 PM
Around 100,000 bank employees and officers of 27 public sector banks including State Bank of India (SBI), 12 private sector and eight foreign banks will go on a nationwide strike for two days from Wednesday, said the United Forum of Bank Unions (UFBU).
UFBU, the umbrella organisation of five employees unions and four officers unions of state-run banks in the country, is demanding immediate wage revision and is also protesting against the ongoing banking sector reforms.
SBI has informed the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) that UFBU has given a notice to IBA calling for a nationwide bank strike from Dec 18, 2013.
"All India State Bank Officers' Federation and All India State Bank of India Staff Federation being part of UFBU will also participate in the said strike," the SBI said.
Nine unions, AIBEA, All India Bank Officers Confederation (AIBOC), National Confederation Of Bank Employees (NCBE), All India Bank Officers Association (AIBOA), Bank Employees Federation Of India (BEFI), Indian National Bank Employees Federation (INBEF), Indian National Bank Officers Congress (INBOC), National Organisation Of Bank Workers (NOBW) and National Organisation of Bank Officers (NOBO) have given the strike call under the UBFU umbrella.
According to UFBU, the last wage settlement in the banking sector expired in October 2012. However, the discussions on a revised settlement since one year have been inconclusive, UFBU said.

Chain Reaction Collision: Who's Responsible?
Many residents and out-of-staters use New Jersey roads and highways for their commute, which unfortunately become congested with frequent auto accidents. When traveling on highways and toll roads, a minor miscalculation can lead to serious damage because vehicles are operating at high speeds. One driver's mistake may combine with another's carelessness to create a chain reaction, injuring multiple drivers, passengers, and bystanders. Public and private property may also be damaged as a result.
There are many different ways that another driver might contribute to one of the collisions involved in the chain reaction:
- Speeding
- Failing to keep a safe distance from cars in front
- Having faulty brakes, old tires, or other auto defects
- Being distracted or impaired
Who is responsible for injuries and damages in a chain reaction car accident?
A driver who rear-ends another car may also be responsible for injuries and property damage suffered by the driver behind him who was unable to stop in time to avoid the subsequent collision —even if that driver was speeding.
However, he is not the only one accountable for the damage. Under New Jersey law, the Comparative Negligence Act allows blame to be assigned to multiple drivers as a percentage of fault. A plaintiff can recover as long as his percentage of fault is less than that of the defendant(s). In other words, if a plaintiff was 20% at fault and the defendant was 80% at fault for an accident that cost the plaintiff $1,000, the plaintiff may recover $800 ($1,000 less his 20% liability). However, if the plaintiff was more than 50% at fault for the accident, the plaintiff cannot recover anything ("modified comparative negligence").
In addition, sometimes the fault extends beyond the drivers—there may be a defect in the design or manufacture of the vehicle, or it may have been negligently serviced or repaired.
Do not wait to pursue your auto accident claim—in New Jersey, you only have two years from the time of the accident to file a lawsuit for your injuries. If you were involved in an auto collision, get in touch with the Law Offices of Richard S. Greenburg today.

Who Should Apply?
Who Should Apply?
Our students go on field trips to historic locations and/or museums almost every day. While some historic sites are near-by, others are quite some distance away. Some of the historic places we will visit are well off the beaten path; some require an hour or more of one-way driving in College vans. Tidewater Virginia can be very hot and humid in the summer. Archaeology sites are, by their nature, dirty places. Bugs can be a problem. (The same can sometimes be said of tourists.)
Still interested? Good!
We are looking for highly-motivated high-school students with a deep commitment to learning about the past; who believe they have excellent analytical ability; whose writing skills are sound; who thrive in a competitive, though structured, discussion class format; and who would like a taste of life in a college dorm. A particular background in American history is not required. An open mind, independent thinking, creativity, healthy constitution and, above all, a spirit of adventure are the essential ingredients. If you fit this description, the three weeks of this program will seem terribly brief, and what you take away with you will be priceless.
ELIGIBILITY: Students who have completed at least their sophomore year in high school and are rising juniors, rising seniors or graduating seniors are eligible to apply and attend the program.
International Students: If English is not your first language, you will be required to submit TOEFL scores. A TOEFL score of at least 100 on the internet-based test or a 600 score on the paper test are W&M minimum requirements for application. Students will need to obtain an F-1 student visa. Since this process can take several months, we will work with accepted students to prepare an I-20 Request Form. After we have received all necessary payment paperwork, we will process the I-20. This may take several weeks for processing and for express mailing the I-20 to accepted students. Students should then contact their U.S. Embassy to obtain the F-1 visa. This may also take 2-4 weeks. Therefore students should plan their appplications with the understanding that this is a long process which will take time to complete. International students should submit their applications and their TOEFL scores to our office before MARCH 20 of each year in order to process all paperwork necessary for F-1 visas.

If the Kenai Peninsula Borough is to avoid the salmon mistakes of the Pacific Northwest, everyone needs to do their part. The banks of our rivers and lakes are critically important to fish. Where the water meets the land is where juvenile salmon spend the majority of their time in freshwater; millions of them are there now feeding, hiding from predators and living in the clean water we are fortunate to have. Without these basic elements our fish will not do well and future generations will not have the experiences we have now.
I have read recently that the Kenai River Sport Fishing Association sponsoring the Kenai River Classic has been moved from July to August to target Silver Salmon.
Why not help our communities of Kenai and Soldotna and move the 'Classic' to every two years and target humpies.

Well I'm the first vote on the poll and I voted "I would not wear this shirt". As a whole there is nothing wrong with the shirt or the message, however I do not wish to call attention to myself in the fact that I am armed; just as I place no NRA stickers of gun related info on my car. I want and choose to look like any other dummy of sheeple going down the street. Don't be fooled my friend and those that know me, know I'm armed. Discretion is often the better part of valor or somehting like that. LOL No, I wouldn't wear the shirt.
July 17, 2009, 12:30 PM
My wife makes 2nd amendment shirts... some of them are too out there for me to wear, but not many.
July 17, 2009, 12:32 PM
I wear big t-shirts to conceal with, not emphaisze, especially since I DO carry a snubbiy in my pocket sometimes. :)
July 17, 2009, 12:42 PM
I never associate people who have gun related t-shirts with carrying and I bet the vast majority of non-shooting people dont either.
Do you assume someone plays for the red sox because they wear thier shirt, or that they are baseball enthousiast?
I wear what I want to wear and I could care less if someone makes some sort of an impression about me because of it.
I suppose, that maybe a bad guy may target me for a robery to steal the gun they assume I am carrying... go for it... Like my shirt says... If you want to take my guns away, go ahead and try.

Lengthening the heel cord is the commonest single operative procedure in the repertoire of most orthopedic surgeons, and the reporting of any simplification of the technic seems justified, particularly if it brings to light an interesting embryologic phenomenon which explains the internal arrangement of the fibers of that structure, not generally appreciated. Before I developed my special but simple technic of subcutaneous tenotomy, I had abandoned that procedure because of frequent inability to get the severed tendon elements to slide apart, regardless of the near completeness of the alternate transverse cuts, and had employed an open tenoplastic technic, converting what should be a relatively simple operation into a much more formidable one.
The satisfaction that has long accompanied this lengthening procedure, together with the continual urging of my friends that I publish a description of the procedure, has finally prompted me to finish a task started many years ago. when

Glow plug(s).
I do dearly miss my KJ CRD!
It was my favorite Jeep.
My KK comes in a very close 2nd though. If I could buy another one NEW, I'd have one.
Re: 2005 Liberty CRD 2.8L
A respectful addon:
Glow plug #1 to be exact
If you are still using ceramics these are unavailable as new steel tip glow plugs replace them and all four are needed as well as the controller. Moparpartsamerica has them and I would first call Corey at ID parts as he he carrying lots of KJ CRD engine parts now and may have these....
IDParts.com - Shop TDI Parts, VW Diesel Parts, Diesel Engine Parts, Volkswagen Performance & Aftermarket Parts, Lubricants, Fluids, Additives at great prices!
The 2.8L I4 VM Motori is an amazing engine --- just gotta keep an eye on it...
Re: 2005 Liberty CRD 2.8L
Thanks I have been leaning toward the glow plug issue.

If the Transportation Security Administration does not change its mind, travelers will be able to bring small knives onto U.S. airplanes as part of carry-on luggage beginning April 25
It is difficult to think of legitimate reasons why Americans would need this new convenience (if that is an accurate description), but only one reason is needed to see why this change in policy is not necessary and possibly dangerous.
A reminder should not be needed, but box cutters, which certainly qualify as "small knives," were used to help carry out the horrific acts of terrorism and murder on 9/11. (Box cutters, specifically, will remain prohibited items.)
TSA representatives are scheduled to meet Thursday with the U.S. House Homeland Security Committee to explain this change in security policy.
TSA will need a better explanation than the one floating around in the media — that permitting passengers to carry small knives on planes will allow security personnel more time to focus on items like liquid explosives and improvised bomb materials.
TSA also offered this explanation on its website: "The decision to permit certain items in carry-on luggage was made as part of TSA's overall risk-based security approach and aligns TSA with International Civil Aviation Organization Standards and our European counterparts."
Let's be honest. Not all of our European counterparts face the same security challenges as America, so basing U.S. security policy on European policy is not always an accurate comparison.
TSA also has proposed changes in security policy that will allow types of "sporting equipment," such as golf clubs, baseball bats (weighing 24 ounces or less) and hockey sticks.
Tragically, in this day and age, even "sporting equipment" can be used as a dangerous weapon.
There weren't many Americans who considered a box cutter to be a dangerous weapon before 9/11, but times have changed.
The House Homeland Security Committee needs to grill the TSA on why this change in security policy is needed - and a better reason should be required other than making the TSA's job easier.

Opaque purple. Deeply pitched aromas of dark berry liqueur, cherry-cola, lavender and vanilla, with a spicy topnote. Fleshy, palate-staining blueberry and cassis flavors are lifted by juicy acidity and pick up a smoky quality with air. Supple and expansive on the endless finish, which strongly echoes the dark fruit and vanilla notes.

What Happened to Fileserve? Filesonic? Filejungle?
The internet is officially broken. Well, at least kind of. If you look at the internet for what it is -- a network of destinations that is connected by links -- then the internet really is kind of broken. You've likely arrived here because, all of a sudden, download links for Fileserve, Filesonic, Filejungle, Uploadstation and x7.to suddenly stopped working and you want to know what happened to all of these popular file download services and their not-working download links... well, here it is:
All these cyberlocker services / filehosters effectively killed themselves off, voluntarily no less. Think of it as a mass digital suicide, or self-neutering for download services, however you want to look at it.
Megaupload Takedown Fallout
On January 19th, the US Government took down Megaupload with a massive, worldwide effort. Here it is only a few days later, and all of a sudden most of today's popular file lockers have willingly destroyed their own services as a result.
Why can't I download files anymore?
The simple answer is that most of these now-effectively-dead filehosters have disallowed shared or third-party file downloads. In other words, in order to download a file from Fileserve, Filesonic, Uploadstation or Filejungle, you have to be the person who uploaded the file. It's insane, but this is the way it is: you can only download files that you personally uploaded.
This effectively nulls the millions of links on the internet that point to these filhosting / file download services. Which, by millions, I'm including Megaupload's now-defunct download links...
What about my premium account?
If you currently have (had...) a Fileserve, Filesonic, Uploadstation or Filejungle premium account, your first line of action should be to ask these services for a refund, especially if you recently purchased a premium account. Be prepared to wait a couple of days, though; I'd imagine that these filehosters' email inboxes are being bombarded with refund requests alongside the obligatory, and well-deserved mass-flooding of hate mails.
If you receive a less-than-favorable response to your premium account refund request, or no response at all, then you might consider trying to reverse or charge back the payment for the premium account. Obviously, you should only take this route if you were royally screwed and didn't get to really use what you paid for. Most payment options (PayPal, credit cards) allow buyers to dispute a payment 30-90 days after the date of purchase.
Why did this happen?
My guess, which is a pretty good guess, is that these cyberlockers killed off their services in an attempt to avoid serious charges and prosecution, very much like what happened with Megaupload. In basic terms, the owners/operators of these premium download services are scared -- scared enough to kill off their cash cows in hopes of avoiding prosecution, fines and likely jail or prison time.
Are premium accounts safe now?
For single filehosters: probably not, at least for the moment. Owners of digital locker services like Filesonic, Fileserve, Uploadstation and Filejungle are likely scared and are probably weighing their options to keep themselves safe from US prosecution. Some services may move out of the USA entirely, which is exceptionally smart, some may ban US IP addresses from accessing their services (like Uploaded.to did), some may kill off their affiliate programs, which means fewer download links for premium account members, or some services may decide to close their doors entirely like x7.to.
If you like the idea of having a premium account, which I do as well as countless others, I would highly recommend against buying a premium account from a single filehoster. However, despite the recent loss of 8+ of today's most popular file download services, I would still recommend using a multihoster like Zevera. While Leechpack is another popular multihoster, they are based in the United States, and their long-term viability, in my mind, is questionable so long as they choose to stay in the USA. Because Zevera is international, I think their premium download services are a much safer alternative to US-based services, and certainly a better value when, at least right now, you have no idea whether a particular individual cyberlocker will keep their doors open any longer.
Alternatives to Fileserve, Filesonic and other digital locker services
The good-ish news about all of this is that file download services will continue to exist. Just like the rise and fall of Rapidshare and Hotfile, new services will spring up to replace the fallen Uploadstations, Filejungles and Fileserves of today.
If you're looking for free download services to replace the likes the recently-fallen filehosters, I recommend checking out this Megaupload alternatives page. If you want better access to fast, direct downloads but don't want to risk buying a premium account with a single filehoster, I recommend checking out Zevera's download services.

Thanks for this article. It's a sad day indeed. Hope we fine relief soon.
thanks for the information you gave me
From what I understand, Megaupload is based in Hong Kong. Perhaps, they carried out some of their activities they were indicted in USA.

On the Beginnings of Media and Communication Studies: Theories of the Press and Its Social Function in Prewar Japan.
Fabian Schðfer,
The University Research Priority Program (URPP) Asia and Europe of the University of Zurich
December 5th, 2012
Room 301, 3F, Building 10
As early as prewar Japan, thinkers of various intellectual proveniences had begun discussing the most important topics of contemporary media and communication studies (such as ways to define the social function of the press, journalism and the formation of public opinion). In this talk, light is particularly shed on press scholar Ono Hideo, his disciple the sociologist and propaganda researcher Koyama Eizo, Marxist philosopher Tosaka Jun and sociologist and postwar intellectual Shimizu Ikutaro. Besides introducing the different approaches of these four figures, this essay also contextualizes the early discursive space of Japanese media and communication studies within international tendencies in Germany from three perspectives of transnational intellectual history.
Fabian Schðfer, PhD, is senior researcher at URPP Asia and Europe, University of Zurich. He is the author of Public Opinion, Propaganda, Ideology: Theories on the Press and its Social Function in Interwar Japan, 1918-1937 (Brill, 2012) and the editor of Tosaka Jun: Ideology, Media, Everydayness (in German; Leipziger Universitðtsverlag, 2011). His current research interests include Japanese cultural studies, media and cultural theory and transnational intellectual history.

Founded well before the establishment of the State of Israel (nearly 40 years prior, in fact), Tel Aviv is easily one of the most populous and influential cities in the country. It is also a terrific place to visit as it is home to dazzling viewpoints, a vibrant beach scene, jumping nightlife, flea markets and shopping centers, and a collection of noteworthy museums and cultural destinations.
Among the most significant attractions is the so-called "White City," the world's largest assemblage of Bauhaus or International style buildings, popularized by Jewish architects who had fled to the region from Germany in the early 1930s. Designed specifically to adapt to the scorching climate (light colors, raised foundations, strategically placed windows, etc.), the style also integrates the greater neighborhood into an organic whole in a way that is truly striking. You don't have to be an architecture aficionado to enjoy a visit to this famous site. In 2003, UNESCO named Tel Aviv a World Heritage Site, in particular for the presence of the more than 4,000 Bauhaus structures.
There have been various art installations and exhibitions dedicated to the neighborhood over the years, so take to care to check event and gallery listings scheduled during the course of your stay. Whenever you visit, you can at least avail yourself of the Bauhaus Museum on Bialik Street that was opened in 2010. The museum is only open two days a week (Wednesday, 11am to 5pm and Friday, 10am to 2pm), but you won't want to miss it.

The company failed for multiple reasons, the most technical of which
is that the product did not live up to customer expectations. It was
a web browser. Customers would try to use it to browse, and it would
choke on a large fraction of web pages because the software was
proprietary almost from the ground up. The marketing people had to to
start promoting the browser as a browser that could only work with a
few basic graphic formats. No audio. Etc.
It was not the sales and marketing departments' decision to make
technical recommendations to the engineering people, but given that
the engineering people were being unsensible (IMO), it might have
helped if all parties with a stake in companies success were aware of
all available options. I *think* the engineering people left the
marketing and salespeople in the dark purposely to preempt any
discussion of going with a commoditized OS and web browser.
In any case, the problems were never fixed. When customers asked why
they could not hear sound on the web pages, the answer was a shoulder

The LED problem was trivial to fix. The other problems were not
fixable given the path that had been chosen. We had more duct tape on
that product than a 3M factory. Every time it booted without
crashing, there was a sigh of relief on my part.

Apt unit worse than big city SLUMS - one room apt.
108 Bristol College Drive
Last Sept., I was in the hospital being checked for cancer. During my hours there, someone broke into MY MOBILE HOME, TORE IT ALL to PIECES, STOLE MEDICINES of mine, and made it in such a shape that AFTER THE GUY who was RESPONSIBLE FOR IT( HIS NAME AND STORY was in the NEWSPAPER AND ON TV) CALLED THE CITY, the city condemned it.(this same man who was "SUPPOSED" to be the park manager for the last 2 or 3 years, took the money for lot rent and stole it. He put in some OLD, Mobiles which EVEYONE of them were condemned. He SOLD some, even ONE TO A RELATIVE, KNOWING it AND THE OTHERS were about to be condemned the next month! It wasn't really the LANDOWNER'S FAULT, except in their poor choice of selectng a park manager who had NOT LIVED there to start with! I made him mad because I MAILED MY RENT DIRECTLY TO the mobile home park owner rather than pay him,(who I DID NOT TRUST!) which was GOOD FOR THE PARK OWNERS! So MY payment got there! OTHER people who paid their rent to this guy had THEIR rent money STOLEN, thereby making the park owners think the other tenants hadn't paid rent WHEN THEY HAD PAID to the "manager" who IS A THIEF and is in JAIL for burglary, NOW! I owned MY HOME, straight out with no mortgage payments. I lived there 12 years, made every monthly lot rent on time. When I got out of the hospital the next morning, the police served me with a condemnation notice of my mobile home. LOOKING AT WHAT HIS THUGS DID, I DON'T BLAME the CITY OR POLICE! I had ALREADY PAID my rent for the month of Sept., 2009, and moved on Sept. 9, 2009. I had to quickly find a place. The first place I came to was BUDGET RENTALS, on 108 Bristol College Drive. As soon as I moved in, I found the apartment OVERRUN WITH ROACHES, STRAY CATS KEEPING ON HAVING LITTERS, I had only ONE SMALL ROOM for $360 per month, high for this area, and found out the REFRIGERATOR DID NOT WORK, NOR did the HEAT AND AIR CONDITIONING UNIT! The place was a MESS to start with, but I had Steam carpet cleaners and other machinery to finally get the stains and dirt out. I later found out he rented to ANYONE who had money to pay. There was no lease. He, the owner ALSO of SLEEP CHEAP, ,OWNED and rented those apts. to DRUG DEALERS INCLUDING some who COOKED CRACK, plus THIEVES AND BURGLARS! HE REFUSED to put a DEADBOLT LOCK on my door unless I BOUGHT IT, gave HIM A KEY AND LEFT THE DEADBOLT IF AND WHEN I MOVED!This man CLAIMS to be a "Christian" but I go to church when physically able (I'M SEVERELY DISABLED)but I've NEVER MET ANYONE LIKE HIM who called themselves a "CHRISTIAN"! When I found a MUCH NICER, LARGER apt. to move to, he was MAD! It would cost him a tenant who paid EVERY TIME THE RENT WAS DUE, except I WAS LATE ONCE. My Social Security check was accidently SENT BACK to the SSA. Now, UNLESS EVERYONE AGREES IT'S OK TO make someone FORFIET MONEY, then even at THAT date, my check came in on the 16th, I OFFERED to pay him and he FLAT REFUSED IT! He said he didn't care about my social security check being late, to quote" ALL I WANT IS MY MONEY ON TIME! (DIDN'T JESUS HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY ABOUT THOSE "CHRISTIANS" AND OTHERS LIKE YOU WHO LOVE MONEY?) The 9th was MY due date as that was the day I moved in, on the 9th of Sept. 2009.As I had said, there was NO LEASE OR EVEN RULES WRITTEN OR PRINTED to rent an apt. I had a small, 20 lb. dog who was 16 YEARS OLD, and when I RENTED THE APT., I TOLD HIM the dog STAYS WITH me or I GO ELSEWHERE!(YOU READ IT CORRECTLY!The dog was 16 YEARS OLD!) and got to where he COULDN'T WALK, so I DID TAKE HIM DOWN to put him to sleep to get him out of the pain and misery he was suffering. He OFFERED to ACCEPT MY BACK MONTH'S RENT IF I WOULD TAKE AND "GET RID OF THE DOG". His (ONLY) two FRIENDS, 1 has two cats, the other an apt. FULL OF BIRDS!
(PEOPLE DID complain, ESPECIALLY ABOUT THE BIRDS MAKING NOISE ALL DAY AND NIGHT!) The 2 cat owner said if anyone came questioning him about HIS cats(MEANING THE POLICE or the FAIR HOUSING AUTHORITY!) HE would DENY OWNING A CAT and let them OUTSIDE TO RUN so not to be caught in his apt.! This "MAN" KNEW WELL HE HAD THOSE CATS, and he knows his other buddy has an apt. FULL OF BIRDS! NO ONE COMPLAINED about my dog. He didn't make a SOUND. People told ME they didn't even KNOW I HAD a dog! He was trained to ONLY BARK IF I FELL and needed help to get up. The DOCTOR WANTS me to have a dog just for that purpose. His EXCUSE was the dog! (AFTER HE KNEW IT'D BEEN THERE 11 MONTHS!) I told him my DOCTOR TOLD ME YEARS AGO to have a dog for such an emergency!(I'VE also suffered from a stroke) Yet his EXCUSE WAS the dog. HOWEVER, he said he would (EVER SO GRACIOUSLY!) let me continue to STAY IF I GOT RID of the dog!(ME get rid of a dog I had for 16 YEARS, yet HE WOULDN'T GET RID OF THE CATS, BIRDS, or ESPECIALLY THE COCKROCHES!) A 16 YEAR OLD SMALL DOG, which MY DOCTOR HAD ADVISED ME TO GET YEARS BEFORE! But I REFUSED TO TELL him that I had already HAD put the dog to sleep. HE STILL REFUSED MY OFFER OF THE BACK RENT,(INSISTING ON GETTING A PRE-DATED EVICTION NOTICE which he wouldn't have served if I HAD told him I'd had to put the dog to sleep)HELL would have FROZEN OVER BEFORE I TOLD HIM ABOUT THE DOG!! He was ALREADY MAD BECAUSE I WAS ALREADY IN THE PROCESS OF MOVING OUT of his SLUMS!! I LEFT IT IN THE SAME SHAPE I FOUND IT! BETTER SHAPE, ACTUALLY! I GOT a 1 BR, FULL KITCHEN, LAUNDRY ROOM, LIVING ROOM, DINING AREA Apt. for $35 LESS PER MONTH, and the place is BEAUTIFUL! MY WARNING is this: DO NOT RENT ONE OF THOSE HOVELS OF AN APT. FROM the owner of SLEEP CHEAP, not EVEN FOR 1 MONTH! YOU'LL HAVE ROACHES to get rid of from EVERYYTHING YOU OWN!! THE APTS. WILL be CONDEMNED THEMSELVES VERY SOON. As for his cheap sleep, BACKACHE AND NECKACHE business, the BEDS THERE ARE EXPENSIVE AND INFERIOR!
My Apt. was BROKEN INTO EVERYTIME I LEFT IT to go to the doctor or grocery store! The NEIGHBORS LIVING THERE, with HIS FULL KNOWLEGE, are DRUG DEALERS AS WELL AS BURGLARS! He will THREATEN TO EVICT YOU IF YOU CALL THE POLICE ON THEM! I CALLED ONCE,( one apt. had their door wide open, and you could see and smell crack cooking!)THAT WAS RIGHT BEFORE HE said to get rid of my dog and refused to accept my rent money! He is the ONLY person I've EVER HAD TROUBLE OUT OF. The others I rented from years ago, may or may NOT have been "Christians", but if they WEREN'T, THEY'LL have a MUCH BETTER CHANCE TO GO TO HEAVEN than this GUY, who goes to church once a week whether he feels like he needs to or not! He's ROTTEN, RUDE, LIES, AND IS A HIPPOCRIT! I'm GREATFUL, THOUGH because of the NICE APT. I AM NOW LIVING IN, allowed to have a new dog with me, and it's MUCH BIGGER, NEWER, BETTER ALL AROUND than BUDGET RENTALS, which even a HOMELESS person should be ashamed to stay there!I know I WAS TOO ASHAMED of the place to tell MY RELATIVES OR FRIENDS WHERE I WAS STAYING! AND as for him SAYING I was late on my rent, I HAVE EVERY RECEIPT that PROVES that ALL BUT THE MONTH MY SS CHECK was late, I was ALWAYS PAID UP BEFORE THE 9th of the month,.(Assuming he is christian enough NOT to try for "FOREITURE" forfeiting rent on 6 days I had to pay for anyway (a FULL MONTH RATHER THAN 3 WEEKS!)before I even DISCUSSED WITH HIM about renting and moving in! IF he wanted his rent on the 3rd! That made my RENT DUE date he 9th of each month, but I was paid up BEFORE THEN EVERY MONTH BUT THE ONE! HE LIED to a prospective renter, but lucky for ME, it didn't matter!PEOPLE TOLD ME THEY HAVE ALREADY HEARD ABOUT HIM, HIS BAD NAME, and how HE IS! BUDGET RENTALS is a SLUM, and HE IS A SLUMLORD! BEWARE!!!

'100-year-old injustice'
Wire Report | 4/5/2013, noon
HOUSTON – (AP) – He was among the first black sports figures to unapologetically flaunt his prowess, to live life on his own terms and to refuse to be bullied by a racist white power structure and its oppressive laws.
And most historians agree that he paid the price for such autonomy.
Now, a full century later, relatives and hometown supporters of the nation's first black heavyweight boxing champion are turning to YouTube to convince President Barack Obama to posthumously pardon him of a 1913 conviction for accompanying a white woman across state lines.
Jack Johnson, nicknamed the "Galveston Giant" after his Texas hometown, was at the center of racial tensions after winning the title in 1908. When he defended his title by beating up white boxer Jim Jeffries in 1910, dubbed the "Fight of the Century," the victory sparked deadly race riots across the county.
Three years later, an all-white jury convicted him of violating a Jim Crow-era law that made it illegal to transport white women across state lines for "immoral purposes." He was sentenced to a year in prison.
His family and other supporters say he did nothing wrong and that the century-old conviction continues to tarnish Johnson's image. Lawmakers have asked for a pardon three times in the past decade, most recently in March, though none has been successful.
Former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson this week announced that he is launching a new campaign urging Obama to pardon Johnson. U.S. Senator Harry Reid, who called the case "a racially motivated criminal conviction," and U.S. Sen. John McCain both have taken up the cause.
Tyson has now set up a petition on Change.org calling on fans to show their support for the issue.
In the call to arms, the fighter writes, "Let's show President Obama and the White House that we too care about Jack Johnson's legacy by signing this petition. In doing so, we are also righting the legacy of our great country."
The Justice Department, however, consistently has said that its general policy is not to process posthumous pardon requests, and the White House declined to comment on the most recent congressional resolution.
So last Sunday, to mark what would have been Johnson's 135th birthday, his relatives and supporters gathered in Galveston to honor him and record a video to go straight to Obama.
Leon Phillips, president of the Galveston County Coalition for Justice, which helped spearhead the effort, told reporters this week that the video adds another layer of support.
"Not only is it coming from Congress, but it will be coming from the citizens of the United States if we can just get everyone to click on that like button," he said. "President Obama's father could have been convicted of the same thing because he was married to a white woman and they traveled all over the world and from state to state."
Johnson's great-great niece, Linda Haywood, said Johnson was "railroaded" by authorities.
"I didn't know the man was my uncle until I was 12 years old, that's how ashamed my family was of the fact that he went to prison," Haywood said in the video. "A pardon would erase the shame and the stigma and allow us to hold our heads up high because we know what a great man he was."
"I'm asking President Obama as the first black, African-American president to give my uncle a pardon," she said. "A lot of times when he would come to his sister's house or his mother's house, he had to sneak at night with his white girlfriend or his wife because of the times that they lived in."
Authorities first targeted Johnson's relationship with Lucille Cameron, who later became his wife, but she refused to cooperate. They then turned to his former mistress, a prostitute named Belle Schreiber, to testify that Johnson had paid her train fare from Pittsburgh to Chicago, for immoral purposes.
Johnson skipped bail and fled the country following his conviction, but in 1920 he agreed to return and serve his sentence.
So far, the YouTube video hasn't had too many hits. But Haywood and other relatives are determined to get a pardon to clear Johnson's name.
"The color of your skin should not determine who you, or how you, love," Haywood said in the video.
