The Samsung Gear Live was the surprise smartwatch at Google IO and yet it's already priming to become the one of the first available Android Wear watches.
Sure, Samsung has made Android-compatible smartwatches before. Its Samsung Galaxy Gear even ran Android until it was updated to Tizen, and the Gear 2, Gear 2 Neo and Gear Fit followed suit.
But this one is different. It's a Google Now-powered wearable that instinctively beams location and context-sensitive messages to your wrist.
This is on top of porting smartphone-linked notifications and, of course, showing the time. Best of all, it works with more than just a few Samsung devices this time around.
Release date
Samsung loves being "the world's first," even when it's often tied with its day-one South Korean rival, LG. That's exactly the case here.
The official Samsung Gear Live release date was announced to be July 7, the same day the LG G Watch is set to ship, or at least that was said at Google IO.
Pre-orders through the Google Play Store tell a different tail. In the UK, Gear Live is expected to be "dispatched from the warehouse by July 4."
However, in the US, Samsung's smartwatch won't be ready to leave the warehouse until July 8. This may have to with that US holiday in which Americans celebrate their independence from Great Britain.
Gear Live matches the LG G Watch with the official, albeit inconsistent July 7 release date, but Samsung undercuts the competition with a slightly lower price in the US at $199, not $229.
In the UK, it's actually a bit more money. Samsung Gear Live is going for £169, while LG's watch costs $159.
This reflects the fact that smartwatch pricing is all over the place as the product category is just taking off. This may be one of the many reasons the Moto 360 launch date and price are still veiled in secrecy.
Motorola's smartwatch is said to be $250, which would make it a bit more than its Android Wear-powered competitors.
The Google Now-influenced Android Wear platform is the major reason to own one of these new watches, but the hardware of course needs powerful enough specs to be wrist-worthy.
Samsung Gear Live lives up to that requirement with a 1.63-inch Super AMOLED display and a 320 x 320 resolution that is 278 ppi.
Its screen size is a hair smaller than the LG G Watch, which is 1.65 inches on its face. But LG's take on Android Wear won't have as sharp of a display. It's resolution is 280 x 280.
Everything else is pretty much the same. There's a 1.2GHz processor, 4GB of internal storage, 512MB of RAM and Bluetooth 4.0 LE on board.
Is Samsung Gear Live waterproof?
Samsung touts that you can "wear Gear Live in all conditions." To that point it's water resistant, though not exactly "waterproof."
Officially, it's another IP67 water and dust resistant device from the South Korean manufacturer, which says you can "keep it on when you wash your hands, take a shower, or do the gardening."
This is the same "International Protection Marking" that the Samsung Galaxy S5 received, so it'll hold up in most cases, but it's not recommended to wear when swimming in the pool or ocean.
Battery life
As small as you want a smartwatch to be, the battery needs to be big enough to hold a full day's charge. Samsung says it pulled that off here.
The Samsung Gear Live contains a 300mAh battery that's said to provide a charge for exactly one day. The LG G Watch adds a few extra milliamps with a 400mAh battery.

BEAVERTON – At the center of the hype surrounding 2014 Beaverton football is junior quarterback Sam Noyer.
Already rated as one of the top quarterbacks in the state, Noyer discussed the ways his game has improved over the past offseason Monday.
"My arm strength is up a lot. I've been doing band work every night before I go to bed," Noyer said after the team's morning practice.
Noyer also said he has put in a lot of work getting his timing down with his receivers, which includes big target Bryce Barker and slot receiver Stephen Marcille.
As a sophomore, Noyer helped the Beavers to their first playoff win in five seasons. He threw 21 touchdown passes, 11 interceptions and passed for 2,384 yards in his first year leading Beaverton's spread offense.
His passing average of 199 yards per game was the fifth best mark at the school dating back to the 1992 season.
Watch the video above to hear Noyer and coach Bob Boyer discuss the progression he has made this offseason.

A hotel in Abu Dhabi decided to go extravagant this holiday, erecting a bedazzled Christmas tree valued at more than $11 billion.
The tree is filled with expensive jewelry from diamond necklaces and earrings, to pearls emeralds, and rubies.
The 43-foot artificial tree is in the lobby of the Emirates Palace hotel.
The tree alone -- without decorations -- is worth about $10,000.
Emirates Palace has a track record of over-the-top stunts.
The hotel installed a gold ATM near its lobby, where customers can buy bullion, and holds a Guinness world for the most expensive alcohol.

Parents Just Don't Understand: Readers Share Their StoriesLori Garcia
Remember back in 1988 when DJ Jazzy Jeff and The Fresh Prince sang a catchy little ditty titled, "Parents Just Don't Understand"? Me too. At the ripe age of 12 I was pretty sure this anthem was the most genius thing I had ever heard. Well, next to "Straight Up" by Paula Abdul anyway.
Despite the blessing of having two great parents I often felt misunderstood. All kids do. It's just a thing we all have to go through for a while and yeah, it sucks.
I'm reminded pretty often by Boy Wonder to just "never mind". That's code for "Mom, you just don't get it". I guess I just can't wrap my brain around why a 4th grader needs an iPhone or a pair of
death traps Heelys. Not understanding the superficial wants are one thing, but I worry about my ability to understand the big stuff someday – because the big stuff is coming.
When I asked you beautiful readers for your childhood memories of being misunderstood, you were quick to offer the sincere and the heartbreaking. I want to personally thank all of you who contributed because your answers reminded me to keep trying to understand, and when I find myself unable, to keep trying anyway.

FG to take some body blows but Labour will have the bloody nose
Despite tailwinds of an economic recovery, the elections will be choppy for one half of the Coalition
Published 20/04/2014 | 02:30
The results of this latest Sunday Independent/ Millward Brown opinion poll, conducted over a 10-day period up to last Tuesday, points to a divergence in fortunes between the two government parties. Ordinarily, mid-term poll results can be explained away by being exactly that; being mid-term, with no discernible litmus test on the horizon.
But this springtime we have the added spice of both local and European elections – the first time the government parties will return to the national stage since their triumph of February 2011. Both, but in particular the Labour Party, are running out of track if they want to avoid a bloody nose on May 23.
Of course, local elections in particular (and to a lesser extent European elections) have a tendency to do that – allow the electorate to blow off some steam. Notwithstanding this, Labour is at a critical stage in the life cycle of this Government. The storm clouds looming over the party continue to darken.
After a brief revival earlier in the year, when it reached the heady heights of 12pc, it has now dropped back to six per cent. Following a drop of four points in February, this latest poll sees it shed a further two points, and it is now at its lowest point in this series of polls.
Fine Gael, on the other hand, has seen its share increase two points to 29 per cent since February. Whilst neither movement in both government parties' support since February is statistically significant, the psychological significance for both is immense.
Relatively speaking, Fine Gael has led a charmed existence. Take, for example, the controversy over the whistleblower affair and the subsequent retirement of Garda Commissioner Martin Callinan amid the revelations of taping of garda station calls. All happening under the watch of a Fine Gael minister.
Yet it was another Fine Gael minister who first broke ranks to articulate the unease that many of us had. The Coalition benefited from some breathing space in the Dail with the St Patrick's Day break. Upon return, the pressure had eased somewhat, and Fine Gael has increased its support (even if the public is less benign in its appraisal of Justice Minister Alan Shatter).
It seems that Fine Gael has, to a certain extent, an almost Teflon-like ability to deflect attention from controversy when delivering bad news.
Labour, on the other hand, serves as a lightning rod for the public's ire. Each time there is a stumble in government message, policy or via an unforeseen curveball, that ball seems to bounce more unkindly for Labour.
Of course, these are all relative successes. Fine Gael will probably receive a rebuke in the upcoming elections (they gained close on 35 per cent of the local election vote last time out). However, the growing consensus that the economy has definitively turned a corner will buffer it somewhat from the worst excesses.
In the short-term at least, it appears Fine Gael is benefiting from the tailwinds that economic recovery delivers, whilst Labour remains in the doldrums.
Labour's battle for the Left, or the left-of-centre vote, is being lost to Sinn Fein and a range of independents. For some, the optics seem that the Government's self-styled watchdog, as it declared itself in their general election campaign, has displayed little bite in facing down proposals put forward by its senior, centre-right coalition partner.
This is, however, a national snapshot. Labour will take solace in that it will be focusing on particular areas or pockets of strength. But in Dublin, traditionally a fertile ground for the party, it mustered just 10 per cent of the vote. No matter how these findings are interpreted, the fact remains that for Labour, it will be an uphill battle in the short-term at least.
Sinn Fein has remained remarkably consistent over the past 14 months, and is averaging 19 per cent overall (this latest snapshot sees it at 20 per cent). The local elections, in particular, will be a platform for it to cement this support. Or to gauge how surefooted this support is. As a party it will be looking to cash-in on the apparent value of its stock.
Fianna Fail has dropped one point – it would seem the apparent revival it had last year may be losing momentum. That said, Fianna Fail has had a tendency more recently to over-index on polling day – in contrast to Sinn Fein.
Turning to Mr Shatter, and his handling of the current several crises within his department, the public has had its say – over half believe he should have resigned over both the whistleblower and garda-taping revelations. When we exclude those without an opinion on these matters, confidence in him reaches 30 per cent at best.
For Fine Gael nevertheless, the mantra is clear – continue upon this steady course. For Labour, this course seems far less clear cut.

Denise Crawford -- 43-year-old Metairie native, Mandeville resident, registered nurse, Archbishop Chapelle and Charity School of Nursing alum -- makes exercise a part of daily routine despite the fact that she has to juggle work and raising two children under the age of 3. "It's got to be part of your daily routine," she says. "Every night when I go to bed, I know tomorrow what I'm going to be doing for exercise."
Nutrition Bio: "I don't eat fried foods. I eat a lot of salads. I eat protein bars. I don't eat out. I'm not a restaurant eater. I fix at home so I can control the calorie content. I eat really low fat, a lot of vegetables."
Workout Bio: "At about 33 years old, I was exercising at the gym a few days a week, eating the same stuff every day, and I put on 15 pounds all of a sudden, and I kind of realized, I've got to step it up. I can't keep doing what I've been doing. Your metabolism slows. So I started increasing my exercise, and I trained for a triathlon back then, Crawfishman. I did a triathlon in 2005."
Fitness Goal: "I just want to stay in shape. I just had a baby, and my goal is just to stay fit, stay healthy. I want to look good. I want to age gracefully. And exercise is so good for your head, as well. I exercised to the day I delivered, and I was back at the gym in two weeks, walking on the treadmill."
Fitness Plan: "I go to the gym at least once a day, and then I cycle at least five evenings a week. I live near the Tammany Trace. I've always pulled my 2-1/2 year old behind my bike since he was about 3 months old. When we had this other baby, I wanted to start biking at about two weeks. But you can't put two kids in the carrier, so I pull two trailers behind my bike. It's like a train, and I tell you, it is funny lookin'! And it's hard. If I do a good hour-and-a-half bike ride pulling those kids, I'm spent."

Bob Tumolo, who opened the first Rita's-brand summertime water-ice shop in 1984, was a city firefighter from South Philly who sold out, after 20 years, because growing the chain made him tired. And selling it made him rich.
Jonathan C. Fornaci, who now runs the 600-store, $140 million-plus (yearly sales) franchise chain from Trevose, has had a career that reads like energy personified: He's a Berkeley-trained physicist, founder of a Silicon Valley venture consultancy (Atomic Tangerine), a former General Electric executive, Peruvian gourmet-restaurant owner, and West Coast pizza-chain boss.
He's taking Rita's global, and he hopes to sell it for its owners, in a few years, for a fat profit. Since taking over last winter, Fornaci has signed deals to open dozens of new Rita's in China and India, California and the Dutch Caribbean isles — while cutting franchise costs to boost store profits in Rita's East Coast heartland.

Guest Editors Javier Aparicio, Aurelio Major, Mercedes Monmany
This month we present poetry and prose by twelve Spanish masters whose dazzling work has been unavailable to the English-language world. Exploring scenes ranging from the devastating Madrid subway bombing to the idyllic coastline of Greece, in rhapsodic poetry and anguished prose, these writers provide new insight into Spanish literature today. Read Fernando Aramburu, Cristina Fernández Cubas, Miquel de Palol, Ignacio Martínez de Pisón, Antonio Gamoneda, Pere Gimferrer, Berta Vias Mahou, César Antonio Molina, Juan Antonio Masoliver Ródenas, Olvido Garcia Valdés, Pedro Zarraluki, and Juan Eduardo Zúñiga, and discover the breadth and depth of contemporary Spanish writing. This issue is part of the SPAIN arts & culture program and was made possible thanks to a charitable contribution from the Spain-USA Foundation. We thank the Foundation for its generous support, and our guest editors, Javier Aparicio, Aurelio Major, and Mercedes Monmany, for their excellent work in selecting the authors and pieces presented here.
Elsewhere, we present writing from Syria, as Zakariya Tamer tells tales of djinns and talking walls, Abdelkader al-Hosni reflects on friendship, Golan Haji considers magic and loss, and Lukman Derky mourns a history of war.

As of Monday, the Ville-Marie Expressway eastbound ramp and the Highway 20 westbound ramp, off Highway 15 north, will be closed until June for repair work.
Transport Quebec is suggesting motorists continue on Highway 15 north, exit at Côte-St-Luc road and then swing back around to take the 15 southbound, to reach the Ville-Marie and the 20.
But the reconfiguration of the Décarie, Côte-St-Luc intersection, to accommodate the detour, is causing a traffic nightmare for NDG residents.
"They are so concerned about the exit that they're not even considering all the people from NDG that have to come here, it's the only way out of the city," an NDG resident, whose commute is now 45 minutes longer, told CJAD.
CJAD traffic expert Rick Letner says there are other alternative routes that Transport Quebec is not talking about.
"Get off at the Atwater exit, go up Atwater and get on the Ville-Marie Westbound, then you can access the 20 Westbound, or go along St-Patrick to Monk and get Highway 20 at Notre-Dame."
Sherbrooke St. between Décarie and Northcliffe will also be closed for the next six weeks, as the city completes sewage work. One lane remains open westbound.
Motorists can use Côte-St-Luc, Upper-Lachine and St.Jacques as alternative routes.
"NDG is concerned at the way this has occurred, in terms of the lack of concertation with MTQ, from the city of Montreal's part, we've tried to mitigate the impact," City Councillor Lionel Perez said.
Transport Quebec spokesperson Mario St-Pierre said the situation would get better over time.
"There will be adjustments, then things will settle down and it will be easier."

Allie Darrow of California spent five months interning at a microbrewery in Tel Aviv on Career Israel.
Israel has a magnetic effect on Allie Darrow.
Growing up in the Reform movement in the Bay Area, she first caught a whiff of Israeli culture through a synagogue youth group leader.
So when she had a chance to visit Israel for herself on a Birthright trip in 2009 she jumped at the chance. After that she was hooked.
"I've always wanted to come to Israel," said the 25-year-old Californian who recently completed a five-month Career Israel program, one of the more than 180...

Well, let's be honest about this, I wasn't expecting too much here. I mean, Michael Jackson, he might be a very 'talented performer' and everything, but he's a bit of a... well, he's a bit 'funny', isn't he? And did you see his film?!!? Blimey! Words fail me. (Except for these ones, of course - "What a load of old crap!")
But (but! BUT!), having said all that, Moonwalker the game's actually not too bad. Or rather, it's really, really, really 'bad' (in Michael Jackson speak) which means 'quite good' to the rest of us. In fact, it's so 'bad' (meaning 'good') it's bloomin' terrible! Quite how has this rather spooky state of affairs come about then? How can you take what even Katy, Sean, Zeke and Skipper the dog (Michael's pals in the movie) would admit was a pretty atrocious film and turn it into a half way decent computer game? Well, it's simple, innit? Moonwalker has such a slight plot (basically one long chase dotted with fight and dance sequences) and so many expensive set pieces that it's pretty simple business to pick out the good bits. You then just pick out some more good bits (but this time from old games like Gauntlet and Op Wolf), sort of squish them all together and 'Roberto es tu tio' (as they say in Spain). (Er, that's 'Bob's your uncle', readers. Ed) The first two levels are rather Gauntlety. In Numero Uno, you (as Wacko) are on the run from a whole host of grotesque tourists, fans and journos. It's one of those scrolling, overhead view maze jobs, and what a massive one it is too. So large you sort of vaguely remember bits when you come back to them, but can't quite figure out how it all fits together. The idea is that Michael needs to disguise himself to escape the mob. How shall I do that, he thinks. Should I dress as something inconspicuous like a cleaner and just slip out the back? No, I'll go as a giant rabbit! No one'll spot me like that! Quite a subtle plan, eh? So Michael has to pick up the bits of a giant rabbit suit from all around the place (plus some other odds and sods), spotting them by watching the dots on the map thing at the bottom of the screen. The ones that are moving are either baddies or Michael himself, but if one just sits there chances are that it's a piece of bunny clothing. Great! Now you know where it is, you just don't know how to wiggle through the maze to reach it.
Working out how, if you ignore Michael's rather odd running action, is a surprising amount of fun. The tourists are suitably grotesque, the dodging-around-obstacles and avoiding-being-caught-up-a-dead-end bits are quite challenging and, all in all, there are a lot worse ways of spending 20 minutes. The Bad soundtrack is (just about) recognisable too.
Michael escapes from this on to Level Two, a rehash of the first, only this time divided into four sub-sections populated with bullet-firing hoods and other spooky bad guys. You're mounted on a motor bike and must crush stashes of drugs and collect crystals. Get ten and you turn into a super car and can then jump over a barrier wall out of one sub-section and into the next. This is all very well but having to do the whole process four times soon becomes as tedious as, erm, a very tedious thing. Next level quick!
Phew! Level Three happily moves away from mazes into Op Wolf territory. This bit's really bizarre and quite clever. Clever in that even though it's basically a horizontal scroller it doesn't look like one. Your well-animated Michael sprite runs around the edge of a nightclub dance floor in a loop (jumping on to tables should he feel like it), so eventually you'll come back to the same bit again. Behind you the walls and windows come closer, then receed, giving the whole thing a feeling of depth. And behind the windows lurk the baddies, which is where the really bizarre bit comes in! Michael's got a gun! And he shoots people with it! I mean, strewth! I mean blimey O'Reilly O'Rourke!
Michael picks the gun up, collects some clips lying around the floor, then pulls the trigger and ratatatat! A little cursor appears, he spins round to hit a baddie and... all the bullets run out. Phew! The baddies are relieved ('cos Michael wasted all the rounds moving the cursor about) but the thought was there! As soon as he (er, you) get the shooting process sussed out there'll be baddies littering the place, as well as a few of your kid pals, who the bad guys tend to hold up in front of them as hostages. Oops! Imagine - Michael In Murder Shock! It's a scandal.
So is Level Four, in fact, which is another cursor shoot-'em-up jobbie, but this time with baddies appearing in doorways around a giant Michael robot. You (the robot) take pot shots at them all, as well as a rather f'nar-worthy giant laser in the top corner of the screen. It's quite playable but again rather repetitive (yawn), though the animation sequence at the start (Michael walking on screen and turning into the robot) and the end pay off (the robot turning into a space ship and taking off) do go some way towards making up for it.
In fact, Moonwalker has more than its fair share of little animation bits. For instance, it begins brilliantly. Here come Michael's feet in a spotlight, tippy-toeing on to centre stage. Then (fizzle fizzle!) he does a funny little dance, all glittering tinsel stuff falling out of his trousers and (sptang!!) turns into a prancy feet Moonwalker logo. Fabulous! It has to be one of the neatest intro sequences I've seen in yonks.
That's the game all over really. Smoothly implemented but rather repetitive gameplay, coupled with the occasional neat and watchable animation sequence. All in all, a rather nice surprise.

Hi all. I had my baby about a week and a half ago and started taking my placenta pills six days ago. I am following my postpartum doula's recommendation to start at one pill and add a pill every day. So day two is two pills, day three is three etc. She wants me to max out at ten provided I do not experience a headache and take ten a day until they are gone. This is not consistent with the information I have read online. Everything I have read recommends taking a large dosage immediately postpartum (around six pills a day) and slowly tapering off over about a month.
Also, I was wondering how quickly the effects should be taking place? Anyone I've discussed this with talks about how amazing the results were and how quickly they got back on their feet. Women who suffered from PPD had fewer if any symptoms. Right now, six days in, I'm not feeling that much better physically. I can easily attribute that to an easier delivery and much more help around the house than I had at either of my prior births. Emotionally I'm feeling worse as the days go by, not better.
If anyone is willing to share their expirences and/or knowledge on this matter, I would greatly appreciate it!!
I took 2/day 3 times a day for a week and then then 2/day 2 times/day for another week. Then 1 at a time, 2 times a day. Etc... I was about 7 weeks out and taking one a day or every few days as needed.
I did feel a lot better emotionally. No random bouts of crying. Physically, my second labor/pushing was easier, so I'm not sure if it was the pills or the labor in general. No PPD either time.
I hope you find a combo that works for you! And congrats on your new little one :)
Mama to three

Tun will be the perfect person to ask if Malaysia in 2007 is better than Malaysia is 1957. 50 years on, it would be nice to hear from someone who has been there, done that.
Instead of some stupid politician telling us everything is rosy posy.
- Ko-chi Wai said...
since you mentioned that Tun Dr Lim is one of two survivors (who is the other one?) of a team to draft the federal constitution, wouldn't it be prudent to request him, being an esteemed leader in the political circle, to come forward and clarify again the status and position of the federal constitution, as well as the meaning of Article 3 vis-a-vis the position of the constitution, in the light of the current worsening socio-religious divide facing our country? currently all the debates that have been going on regarding the issue have been made by people who are, more likely than not, not even there during merdeka let alone be privy to the drafting of the constitution. the closest we have were reports from the Reid Commission as well as statements by the Tunku made in newspapers and such. if the two surviving original drafters could come out and clarify the matter, it could be the nation's best opportunity at this point of time to reverse the worrisome religious divide threatening to rip it apart.
- Khoo Kay Peng said...
Chi Wah,
Constitutional students, researchers, the Bar Council, the media etc. should take the opportunity to speak to him. He is a retired statesman.
It is not his nature and habit to come out, however imprudent you may think, to speak out on the issue. But interested individuals can try to make an appointment to see him.
He passed on the torch. As an 88 yr old person, I am not in a position to ask him to do more than just to explain to me and help me to put on record some of the things he said in an upcoming book.
I hope we can respect that. Our generation and the current leaders know what is wrong. We must fix the problem and not throw it back to someone else.
Lim failed in his attempt to secure pendatang as Malayan then. The position remains

grant data
Program Narrative
Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant Proposal
Critical Incident Task Assignment Program
The Caldwell and Nampa Police, along with Canyon County Sheriff's Office have worked together to implement programs that allow deputies and officers to collaborate towards a common goal. Some of these goals include the control of: gangs, drugs, and violent crimes. The three agencies, along with other task forces, have designed and executed project "Street Sweeper", a night-time event that allows officers from several different agencies to come together to confront the above mentioned crimes and situations. In 2006, "Street Sweeper" assisted officers in locating several gang members, and gave them the opportunity to target certain gang leaders, which eventually led to their arrest and subsequent convictions on serious felony charges. In doing so, two major gangs in Canyon County have been disassembled, providing the county's residents with security and peace of mind. They were also able to remove numerous weapons and drugs from the street. The project continued through 2007, and is slated to continue for as long as it is feasible to do so. While these agencies pull together their resources, it is an absolute necessity that they are afforded additional monies to allow programs like this to continue.
In the event that grant money is awarded from this program, it is our intention to use these funds to support special task activities that require a collaborative effort between different agencies. These activities and projects might not occur without this funding. Budgeting and funding for the police department is quite restricted, as it is for the county government generally. Overtime is closely monitored. A high percentage of the budgets are used for payroll and benefits, which restricts the abilities of the agencies to implement programs that are necessary to the safety of the citizens. In addition, all agencies are in need of more money to add to their budgets in order to keep certain objective and programs in place.
It is our proposal that the $42,443.00 grant funds will be shared equally by Caldwell Police Department, Canyon County Sheriff's Office and Nampa Police Department to fund overtime for special task assignments that may include:
- Surveillance
- Gang sweeps
- Saturation patrols
- Curfew Sweeps
- Intel gathering and follow-up
- Repeat offenders program
- Motorcycle patrol
- Bike patrol
The three agencies have agreed to have the City of Caldwell administer the funds by establishing an interest bearing trust account. The City of Caldwell will distribute funds to the other two agencies in equal amounts. Each agency will be responsible for distribution and documentation of overtime funds for their employees. No matching funds are required by local government entities. The City of Caldwell will be responsible for the progress reports which will include input from Nampa Police Department and the Canyon County Sheriff's Office. A quarterly meeting between the agencies will be held to review the progress of the program and the expenditures by each department.
This grant will provide funds for the Caldwell Police Department, Nampa Police Department and the Canyon County Sheriff's Office to work together to carry out special task assignments to help curb gang and street crime by providing overtime funds for each department.
To encourage input from community members, this proposal has been posted on the City of Caldwell website at www.cityofcaldwell.com.Contact the Caldwell Police Department: 110 South 5th Avenue, Caldwell, ID 83605, 208-455-3115 or AskCaldwellPD.

Highland Park Village Theatre is an institution and has been showing movies in Dallas since 1935. The theater's facade hasn't changed, vintage marquee with neon lettering included. The inside, though, received a multi-million dollar makeover in 2010: Turkish marble floors, leather seats, a lustrous bar and private viewing rooms available for rental.
The theater is small and only has four screens, but it is comfortable and classy.
Repertoire: The theater used to be one of the only places to catch blockbuster hits in Dallas along with a few arthouse flicks. Nowadays, the theater has an eclectic offering of movie showings. After all, there are only two auditoriums and two smaller screen rooms. Movies could range from G-rated Disney films to movies like The Bourne Legacy. 3.5 kernels
Concessions: Moviegoers can eat food at the Marquee Grill, which is directly right of the concession stand for some grub that's not your typical concession fare. The concession stand itself offers some unconventional items such as warm nuts and gourmet chocolates. Plus, patrons can pop into the Village Bar for a drink. Four and a half kernels.
Comfort: The theater has been a staple in the area for more than 75 years, but it went through renovations in 2010. Screenings rooms are outfitted with comfortable chairs with plenty of room. Patrons can also rent private screening rooms for 4 kernels
Technical quality: Renovations in 2010 included the addition of an all-digital projection system. So, the picture is crisp and the sound is good. Though, the sound can sometimes be a little too loud. 3.5 kernels
Convenience: Highland Park Village is generally full of bustle, so parking can be a pain. Valet parking is an option if you'd rather not drive around searching for a parking spot. Highland Park Village also offers a handful of restaurants including The Marquee Grill & Bar, Mi Cocina and Patrizio for those who prefer dinner and a show. 3.5 kernels
Intangibles: Highland Park Village Theatre offers moviegoers an old-school, but luxurious time at the movies. The theater is in the middle of a shopping center, it's a family-friendly and convenient destination (aside from that whole parking thing.) The food is a step up from your typical concession fare, too, so the theater offers more than your regular movie experience. 3.5 kernels
What Yelpers say
"VERY clean theater and SUPER nice! Leather seats in the auditoriums are a definite plus. It is not overly crowded, so that is always great... even on opening nights! The tickets are about a dollar more than normal (around $11 to see a movie instead of $10), but that is expected for the area it is located in. This is a GREAT spot for a dinner date, because there are awesome restaurants around it." -- Lauren T.
"i totally love this theater! came last friday with friends after practice and it was super nice, pretty, and clean! Also there's some great food places around, which makes it a fun place to go with friends and relax after shopping, which is what we did :)" -- Neda S.
"Three stars for rude, cold and unwelcoming person that checked us in. The theater overall alright. It was cozy and I liked that. Theater's proximity to great restaurants and shopping is what made me bump up my review to three. To me product is nothing when served badly. In the case of this theater, I didn't get what I paid for. I got half." -- A K.
32 Highland Park Village, Dallas
Admission: $11.75 adults, $8.50 children and seniors, $8 matinee

Unfortunately I only found it once, and no matter how hard I've looked, I've been unable to locate it again.

"We've had one officer assigned to this fugitive task force for a number of years now," Saginaw Police Chief Gerald H. Cliff told City Council at its meeting Monday. "We pay his salary, they pick up $5,000 per year of his overtime, he operates out of our detective bureau and in exchange for our participation we get the services of this task force when we have someone to be chased down.
"That alleviates us of having to dedicate manpower that would otherwise be doing investigation, so it's a good deal for us; it's not an imposition."
This is similar to other task forces, such as the Gang Task Force and the Bay Area Narcotics Enforcement Team, to which Saginaw police are assigned in exchange for the services of the task forces, Cliff said.
Saginaw "is not offering up one of its police officers to go off and do (U.S. Marshals Service) work, nor will we be 'subsidizing a U.S. Marshal,' " Mayor Greg Branch wrote in response to concerns raised by some readers in the comment section of a story on MLive.com Monday. "This establishes ground rules under which we actually bring more law enforcement resources into the city."
Saginaw "benefits from the additional resources to take out people we want arrested" and the U.S. Marshals Service "benefits from the local knowledge and resources," Branch said.
Cliff did not know the cost of the officer's salary or benefits.

High quality. WAY too high of quantity.
By Amber
from Phoenix, AZ
Comments about Levenger Translucent Circa Notebook Covers (set of 100):
I have some translucent covers from Levenger/Circa and they are much better quality than what I can get in the same style from competitors. I'd really like to order in quantity, but I don't have the use for 100 notebook sets at the moment. I'd be happy to buy a set of 10 or 25, but having the option be 2 or 100, well that misses a huge lot of us that would buy right in the middle. Also, I'd like to buy discs in bulk, but 1000 of the same size is just too much for me at one time. I agree with the comment from 2013, and would have hoped in the last nearly three years, this would have been addressed.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Quantity Required is Just Too Large
By ExplEngineer
from TX & KY
I like the Circa System well enough, my only issue is that the little cut in binding tabs do not have an especially long service life if removed frequently, but my MAIN COMPLAINT is the ABSURD QUANTITY REQUIRED TO BE PURCHASED. I as a sole practitioner and I would have to use these covers to line my coffin to use 200 of them at a time. There should be some middle ground in quantities where pricing is more realistic, as in the $2.50 to $3.00/pair in quantities of 25, 50, or 100 notebooks [50/100/200 /covers. I have a couple of sets of leather covers received as gifts, and I just don't like them, they are too bulky, the covers are difficult to write on when folded over to be opened, and too subject to being damaged in my customary usage. Levenger's hit the mark just right with these translucent covers, except that they have completely missed the price point when they charge $12.00 for a set of 2 [$6.00ea] when they only charge $250.00 for a set of 100 [$2.50 ea]. It does not seem unreasonable to be able to buy a set of 10 for $27.50 or a set of 25 for $65.00, decreasing the gap in the price differential
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Merchant response: We appreciate your detailed review of our Circa Translucent Covers. We understand your concerns with the quantity amounts available. We have forwarded your concerns to our product development team in order to investigate the possibility of smaller quantity options. We apologize for the inconvenience this has caused and will contact you to discuss a resolution.

It's really hard to find good parking on and off campus
its hard to find a spot and for games some have to move their cars even though it is the right lot to park in.
There are rarely any metered parking spots open on campus and you have to have a parking permit to park anywhere else. Parking permits are based on faculty and student status.
I don't take car to campus that often, since I have parking at my apartment complex and convenient bus-service right to the center of the campus.
The on-campus cost is absurd, but off-campus is reasonable and convenient.
{{review.SectionLabel}} at {{review.EntityName}}:
Sorry, there are no reviews.
Campus entrances are marked with bright yellow signs that read "WELCOME," but that sentiment is almost refuted by another line: "PARKING IS BY PERMIT ONLY." ECU is, however, primarily a pedestrian campus, and the Student Transit Authority is efficient enough to get students where they need to go. It is not really necessary for freshmen to even bring cars. The freshman lot is so far away from campus that freshmen who use Student Transit or meet upperclassmen with cars probably will not need to go to the freshman lot until they leave for break. During breaks, students can carpool with someone from their region by posting a card on the travel board in the basement of Mendenhall, or more efficiently, by posting on the Banner forums or on www.partyeastcarolina.com.
Parking and Transportation Services is perhaps the least popular office at ECU, and their white vehicles with green police-style lights on top are annoying, if not terrifying. The no-nonsense officers are dreaded by anyone who has committed even the slightest parking infraction. Many students complain about ECU parking, but for those students who look online and make the effort to know which lot is which, which permits allow them to park where, and which permit they are eligible to buy, parking will never become a huge issue.

Since I previewed the wrong pitcher last week (Francisco Liriano for the Twins when they actually started Brian Duensing) I will take a few extra precautions in this weeks preview. Of course the trade deadline is tomorrow so we will know by the end of the first game of the series if either team will be making any more moves.
July 31st, 8:10 PM EDT: Derek Lowe, Chris Seddon or Josh Johnson vs Luke Hochevar, RHP, 6-9, 5.26 ERA
Derek Lowe has continued on his path to retirement as so far in July he has given up 19 runs in 21 innings. He will almost certainly make this start but the rest of his season is in jeopardy. If he can somehow manage to decrease his monthly ERA from 8.14 to somewhere near 6.75 he could earn himself another start or two in the rotation. If the Indians do pull the trigger on a big name trade and bring in two starters, Lowe would be the second man out of the rotation after Josh Tomlin. Josh Johnson would be a fantastic pick up, even better than Zach Greinke was for the Angels as he is under control for more than this year.
Hochevar started the year pitching against the Tribe in two very different outings. Two of his first four starts came against the Indians and in the first game he was shown an early exit, allowing 7 runs on 9 hits through just four innings. His second start was the complete opposite as he threw 6.1 and just allowed two runs. He has pitched many times against Cleveland (13 starts) and the results have been more like the first game in general (5-8, 5.57 ERA against CLE) than the second.
August 1st, 8:10 EDT: Zach McAllister, RHP, 4-2, 3.18 ERA vs Luis Mendoza, RHP, 4-7, 4.47 ERA
The new Indians ace will do his best to salvage the season as he goes up against a pitcher that could be considered the Royals best. McAllister continues his great rookie season as he has yet to have a bad start (only bad offensive support behind him). Mendoza has the best ERA out of the current Royals rotation, but that isn't saying much as they have struggled all year with starting pitching, possibly even more than the Indians have.
August 2nd, 8:10 EDT: Josh Tomlin, James Shields, Joe Blanton or Corey Kluber vs Jeremy Guthrie or Jake Odorizzi
The Indians are unlikely to make a huge move at this point, but they have been rumored in the discussions of James Shields and there has been talks within the team about the immediate demotion of Josh Tomlin. They are basically waiting to see if a deal is made, in which case the new pitcher would certainly take Tomlin's spot in the rotation. If a deal is not made there is still no guarantee that Tomlin will make this start as he was absolutely obliterated in his last game against the Twins. Corey Kluber (a September call-up from 2011) and Chris Seddon will likely be the first selections if the Indians decide to bring someone up from AAA.
The Royals just picked up former Indians farm hand Jeremy Guthrie, but he doesn't really fit the style of their team so he could possibly be moved again before the trade deadline in order to pick up some more talent for their run at the Central that always seems to be three years in the future. Odorizzi is a young stud that Royals fans can't wait to see, so why not bring him up now and give him a couple month head start on 2013.
This series preview has been a "stick your head in the sand" version of a normal series preview. Burning River Baseball will reassess the season more realistically after the series with the Royals and tell you if it's worth sticking around for.

To the Editor:—
Who among us cannot recall with longing the idealisms of our student and intern days or taste with remorse the disillusionment of these ideals? Is not the most bitter disillusionment of all that of strife within our own profession? Physicians, being human, share with other people the frailties of sin and failure. They also share the common desire for acceptance, recognition, and praise. Similarly, they react to oppression, criticism, and threats to freedom with suspicion and hate. To whom can we turn for solace and support when we fail, if not to one another.The fundamental purpose of the physician has always been and shall ever be to heal the mind and body of his fellow man. It would seem incongruous that, with so powerful an adversary as death, we find energies to devote to petty bickering and puerile lust for political power. Expending energy jockeying for

"I got my driver's licence and volunteered at the Olympics the same year," recalls Joy, who is a manager of 285 volunteers for Eastern Access Community Health. She's also the mother of five and grandmother of 12 keen volunteers.
"There's certainly more pressure from government now, more regulations; but there's also better communication and more networking between people in volunteering. Before, you felt a lot more isolated," said Joy when considering her three-decade career in volunteer management.
"There's been a real change in the length of time people are willing to volunteer. Now they're more likely to be looking for short-term roles to help them gain job skills and find work. I've helped eight volunteers already find office-type jobs after volunteering with me."
And Joy's advice on successful recruitment? Honesty. "If you tell people up-front exactly what the role involves then there's no surprises for them and they're more likely to stay on." Sounds like it's working. Joy says that several people apply for every role she offers.

Those of us who live in Charleston are privileged. We live in one of the greatest cities in the world and it is our duty to share it with others. We are ambassadors of this city we love so dearly, and it is my hope that we can uphold our reputation for being a charming, friendly, and hospitable place. To do this, the Charleston population must treat all people with equality and respect. I, sadly, feel slighted by my own fellow Charlestonians.
I am a tour guide for a carriage company. It was only after learning, cover-to-cover, a 492- page manual and passing the municipal Tour Guide Exam that I was able to obtain my tour guide license.
Throughout my relatively short time giving tours (15 months), I have found that many of my neighbors don't recognize the legitimacy and seriousness of the official tour guides of Charleston.
Countless incidents of disrespect and mistreatment from residents both South and North of Broad leave my heart heavy. I have been stopped, honked at, cussed out, heckled, glared at and told that factually sound information is wrong. But, I am simply doing my job.
Tour guides are not your enemy. They are a crucial part of Charleston's economy. We are the ones who bring customers to your businesses and interested homebuyers to the houses we pass by on our tours. We are not out to slander this kingdom with lies. Please allow us to represent the city as best as we can.
All tour guides, having been licensed by the city, have proved themselves to be competent and well-versed in Charleston's history. We aim to educate, entertain, and dazzle tourists with the colorful stories of this city's past.
If you hear an outrageous story coming from the mouth of a tour guide, don't think, "It can't be true," because it probably is.
On behalf of all tour guides, we ask you to follow the Golden Rule of the streets: treat us the way that you would like to be treated.
To the residents of Charleston, please think before you shout, roll your eyes, rev your engines, or flick someone off - think of how you are showcasing the No. 1 destination in the world. By your actions, you, too, represent this city. If you love Charleston, give back to it. Give it a smile, a wave, or a few kind words. Together, we create the atmosphere of our city. Let's make it a great one.

The actress, who celebrated her 18th birthday on Tuesday with a party on the beach, is the latest mustachioed face of those "Got Milk?" ads.
"You don't have to be a hero to feel invincible. That's why I drink milk," she says in the ads, part of a campaign to get teens to drink three glasses of low-fat or fat-free milk a day.
The ads, debuting Sept. 10, were shot in May by famed photographer Annie Leibovitz and show Panettiere in a sleek red dress holding an exploding glass of milk.
On Monday, the actress joked to David Letterman on his Late Show about her milestone birthday: "I don't think much changes when you're 18 – maybe the way people treat you. But I think the only things I can do is buy cigarettes, porn and, if I get in trouble with the law, I'm kind of screwed."
Check out behind-the-scenes video of Panettiere's photo shoot:

Predators Hire Peter Laviolette As Head Coach
The Nashville Predators announced via press release that the team has hired Peter Laviolette has head coach.
?Having reached the peak as a Stanley Cup Champion, Peter knows the intensity and urgency it will take to help our team reach its ultimate goal,? Poile said. ?He is a great hockey mind who not only has a winning resume, but has done it with an aggressive offensive philosophy while also excelling in helping young players reach their potential. We look forward to Peter instilling his culture in Nashville immediately following his duties coaching the United States at the 2014 World Championship.?
?I love the nucleus of this team, starting on the back end with two of the best players at their positions in defenseman Shea Weber and goaltender Pekka Rinne, in addition to a solid group of dependable veterans and talented, rising young talent,? Laviolette said. ?My challenge will be to impart a system that enables our young forwards to thrive and reach their offensive potential. Being a perennial Stanley Cup contender requires buy-in, passion and commitment from every player on the roster. I can?t wait to get to Nashville and get started on our journey.?

Fewer Florida students to receive 'Bright Futures'
What does this mean for our inner-city youth?
Ashley Montgomery | 4/24/2014, 9 a.m.
Tougher requirements in the state's Bright Futures program have dramatically reduced the amount of students who qualify for scholarships.
Only half of Bright Futures scholarships will be awarded this fall compared to last year.
About 21,340 students are expected to be eligible for the merit-based scholarship this fall, much fewer than the 41,107 who qualified last year.
According to the Florida Student Scholarship and Grant Programs for the upcoming school year, the previous standard for an SAT score increased from 1020 to 1170. The bar was also raised from an ACT score of 22 to 26 to qualify for the Medallion scholarship.
In 2010, the state dramatically increased the required SAT and ACT scores for students graduating in 2014 in an effort to cut program costs. Legislators complained that the qualifications were too low to be considered a merit-based scholarship.
Critics say the new standards are unfair and make it harder for low-income students and minorities to qualify. They also argue most Bright Futures scholarships go to white, affluent families who could afford college without financial assistance.
The criteria, according to the National Center for Fair and Open Testing, hurt many Blacks who tend to score lower on standardized achievement tests that over the years have been criticized as culturally-biased.
Since the program's inception, more than $4 billion have been awarded to Florida students and the scholarship has helped thousands of students pay for college since its creation in 1997.
Those on the opposite end of the spectrum say that the award is merit-based and has nothing to do with race or one's financial background. Republican State Representative George Moraitis said because there are limited scholarships available, educators and administrators should be more selective.
"If you're giving a merit-based award, it should go to the top students in the state," Moraitis said.
Top students qualify for awards worth as much as $3,100 a year, or half of tuition and fees.
Before 2009, the lottery-funded Bright Futures scholarship paid full tuition and fees at any state public university and 75 percent for students with a grade point average of 'B' or higher.
At one point, Bright Future's budget was $429 million, but that amount has fallen to $306 million.
More reductions are expected to bring that number further down to $180 million by 2017 as fewer students will qualify, according to the state's Office of Economic and Demographic Research.
Federal officials are revisiting the case as they question whether the Bright Futures program violates minorities' civil rights. They're also concerned that the new qualifications are unfair to economically-challenged students.
To counter the changes, James Sterlin, scholarship coordinator at Florida Memorial University believes that more students need to apply for other scholarships that are not awarded by a government or a school. They encourage students to seek financial help from private companies, charitable organizations or foundations.
"Working here, I have to pull teeth for students to apply and there are a lot of scholarships out there waiting to be given away," Sterlin said.
The new standards will not affect current recipients of Bright Futures scholarships. Those students will continue receiving money they were originally awarded.
The money is likely going to be out of reach for minorities and those who need it most.
"Incoming freshmen will suffer most," Sterlin said. "It cuts out more Black students and I think it's kind of selfish."
