"Heath Miller should be president," was how Roethlisberger greeted reporters for his weekly locker room talk.
"Forget Pro Bowl, he's the president. I'm starting the campaign today. I'm getting him on. I'm going to be his campaign manager."
Roethlisberger has always called Miller the best tight end in the game, and yesterday he reiterated it.
And why not? Miller is in a three-way tie for the NFL touchdown lead among tight ends with five. (Miller and Kyle Rudolph both have two-point conversions to edge ahead of Rob Gronkowski in total points.)
The season has yet to reach the halfway point, but Miller has more than doubled his touchdown output of two from last season. Is Roethlisberger looking for him more often this season?
"I've always looked for him," Roethlisberger said. "He's always been a comfort zone and blanket. He's a great player, great teammate, maybe the best teammate I ever played with at any level. That's a high compliment but he deserves it."
Is it Roethlisberger? Or is it new offensive coordinator Todd Haley?
"I don't think Ben's mindset has changed," said Miller. "Maybe it's just a few more opportunities based on the scheme that we're running."
The statistics show a major increase in the Steelers' use of Miller in the red zone this season.
Last season, when the Steelers scored touchdowns 47 percent of the time they visited the red zone (counting postseason), they sent 7 percent of the plays and 15 percent of the passes Miller's way.
This season, with the Steelers scoring touchdowns 55 percent of the time they visit the red zone (20-yard line or closer), they've sent 20 percent of the plays and 38 percent of the passes Miller's way.
In six games he's already been thrown more red-zone passes (12) than he had in 17 games last season (11). He's caught 7 passes for 5 touchdowns this season, compared to 6 passes for 2 touchdowns all of last season.
Those numbers don't include the two-point conversion in Cincinnati, which came on the heels of much confusion.
The Steelers had put in their jumbo package to force the Bengals to play without cornerbacks, and the Steelers would slip Miller out for a pass.
But the Bengals left their corners on the field and the Steelers tried to call timeout. The officials wouldn't oblige them, so Roethlisberger threw to Miller for the score anyway.
Miller's most entertaining catch, according to Roethlisberger, was one of his 4-yard touchdown catches in Oakland.
"He caught that touchdown and he looked right into the Black Hole and he gave them a little flex," Roethlisberger said. "That's awesome. It's fun and it gets you going, because a guy like that, who doesn't show a lot of emotion, when he does it you know it's time to go."
Miller's next touchdown will tie him with Elbie Nickel for most touchdown catches (37) by a tight end in team history.
Is Miller the best in the game?
"Absolutely," Roethlisberger said. "All-around tight end? Yeah. People are going to argue with numbers, but all-around tight end? There's no doubt about it."

Got an antique snowmobile sitting in a barn somewhere collecting dust? Well, 2011 will be the year to get it out on Michigan trails.
The Michigan Legislature passed a law in time for the Christmas holidays that creates a program to allow historic snowmobiles on Michigan trails for a one-time fee of $50.
"The law will take immediate effect, but the program won't go into effect until next year," Bill Manson said about House Bill 6261, introduced by Rep. Joel Sheltrown (D-West Branch).
Manson is the executive director for the Michigan Snowmobile Association. His group and others pushed for passage of the bill sent to Gov. Jennifer Granolm on Dec. 15. It takes effect Monday.
Historic snowmobile enthusiasts are happy about the decision.
John McGuirk, the former president of the Antique Snowmobile Club of America, said thousands of antique and classic snowmobile could "come out of the woodwork." His organization has 2,400 members.
"We are sitting on pins and needles every day," McGuirk said. "It's got a lot of people talking about it and quite a buzz."
Historic snowmobile owners say the program likely will help the economy because more old sleds will come out of mothballs. Antique and historic sled shows are growing in number and popularity. Each has the potential to become a tourist attraction for Michigan communities.
Many historic sled owners have put them away because they didn't want to pay the full cost to register them and buy annual trail stickers just to use them now and then. Collectors, until now, have had to pay the same as modern snowmobile owners: $30 for a three-year registration and $35 for a trail permit annually.
The old sleds, however, never were designed to go fast or be reliable, so they are used far less than modern sleds. Historic snowmobiles are ridden an average of 65 miles per year compared to 1,100 miles for modern sleds, Manson said. A 180-mile day is not unusual for a new sled, but old sleds prove a tough ride for 10 to 20 miles.
"We looked at Michigan registered sleds that are 25 years or older and found 15,000 to 16,000 on the books," Manson said. "(Owners) register them for occasional use on the trails, but their owner's biggest heartburn is to pay full price.
"We figure there are another 25,000 to 30,000 sleds that are still running and sitting in the barn or backyard. ... The feedback we've gotten from the antique snowmobile groups is that this will get them back in the system."
Back in the system means more money for trails and trail enforcement. A new crop of old sleds will enter the system every year.
Proponents like Doug Lubahn, a retired state police officer from Lapeer who represented an online network of vintage sled enthusiasts at hearings in Lansing this year, said he has more than 60 vintage sleds. McGuirk said he owns 140 antique sleds. Collectors, they say, often have several dozen.
"Ten years ago, there was maybe two or three antique and classic snowmobile events in Michigan," Lubahn said. "Now there is one literally every weekend, sometimes multiple events on the same weekend. At the Naubinway show last year, there were just under 200 sleds lined up for the breakfast ride."
Manson said the program will begin next winter for a couple of reasons. Some people already have registered their machines or paid for trail passes. It also will give the Secretary of State office time to reprogram its computers.
Sleds 25 years and older will qualify. To drive them on state trails will require a one-time $50 fee. Three dollars will go to the Secretary of State for administration. Another $5 will go to the Michigan Department of Natural Resources and Environment to provide grants to county sheriff departments for law enforcement on snowmobile trails. The remaining $42 would go for construction or maintenance of the state's 6,500-mile snowmobile trail system.
The program should prove to be a win-win-win situation all around. That seems like a pretty good Christmas gift to me.

Our View: Fiscal reality must guide teacher negotiations
It's time for a reality check for the Erie School District, the Erie School Board and representatives of the Erie Education Association. The district and the teachers union must negotiate a new contract in line with the current economy. State funding is tight, pension costs are rising and homeowners in the city of Erie can't absorb increases in property taxes.
The Erie Education Association's contract expires June 30, and negotiations for a new contract have begun. As talks proceed, transparency must be the rule. When teacher contract talks have hit snags elsewhere in Pennsylvania, some districts have opted for the public's right to know by placing information about the contract terms they are offering on their websites.
So far, both sides are saying the right things. EEA President Greg Henderson said the union and the administration of Erie schools Superintendent Jay Badams are both concerned about cuts in state funding. "This is the first time that I could remember ... that we're kind of together on our angst," Henderson told reporter Erica Erwin. "There really isn't any money right now. We have to figure out how to make it so we don't have significant losses, too."
Badams put it this way: "The math is really simple. If you are in an urban area that is not growing where you can expect flat revenue, you undoubtedly will have increased expenses. If pensions continue to rise to 30 percent of salaries, it's simply not sustainable with our existing funding formula."
Henderson blamed Gov. Tom Corbett for cutting education funding, but Corbett is justifiably irked that the General Assembly cannot agree on a way to reform pension plans for two large groups of workers: the Public School Employees' Retirement System and the State Employees' Retirement System.
The Erie School District's contribution rate for pensions will rise from 16.9 percent of payroll to 21.4 percent for 2014-15. The increase means the district will pay $1.7 million more just in net retirement costs.
But in addition to the pension contributions, negotiators on both sides must look out for the district's long-term financial health. That wasn't the case when the district and EEA negotiated a five-year early-bird contract in 2008, months before the old contract was due to expire.
That contract increased wages, on average, about 4 percent a year, just as the bottom was falling out of the economy. "Teachers want to make sure the district, the students and the parents have five more years of stability," Carol Laskowski, then-president of the teachers union, said in November 2008, when teachers overwhelmingly approved the new contract.
Just two years later, when Badams succeeded Jim Barker as superintendent, Badams learned he had inherited a $22 million deficit, thanks in part to salary increases. The Erie School District has climbed out of that financial pit by cutting teachers and staff, closing schools and raising taxes by 1.16 mills for 2013-14.
No tax increase is proposed for this year -- that is how Erie taxpayers define "stability."

NEW SMYRNA BEACH -- Edward and Patricia Hunt spent the morning with their 5-year-old boy at the beach. Then he was off to the babysitter so they could enjoy a stroll on Flagler Avenue and a glass of wine at Clancy's Cantina.
NEW SMYRNA BEACH -- Several thousand people jammed Riverside Park on Saturday for the Memorial Day Weekend Striker Tournament, also known as FishStock. People of all ages enjoyed the sights, sounds and sunshine. Some, like 11-year-old Cory Troiano, didn't leave home without man's best friend, in this case, a shepherd mix, named Alex.

Passing pointers to functions
Prewarning: The Gwin commands are the graphics window we use
Hey, so i have to, create a function called WeightLoss. This function will take as its ONLY
parameter a POINTER to a Patient. The purpose of thefunction is as follows:
If the Patient passed in is male, the function will reduce the Patient's weight by 10%.
If the Patient passed in is female, the function will reduce the Patient's weight by 20%
#include "stdafx.h"
cpp(43) : error C2664: 'weightLoss' : cannot convert parameter 1 from 'double' to 'double *'
cpp(66) : error C2556: 'int weightLoss(double *)' : overloaded function differs only by return type from 'double weightLoss(double *)'
cpp(28) : see declaration of 'weightLoss'
cpp(66) : error C2371: 'weightLoss' : redefinition; different basic types
(74) : warning C4805: '!=' : unsafe mix of type 'double' and type 'bool' in operation
Re: Passing pointers to functions
Ok so cant find edit. So far i have the program reading the structs etc, reads the bmi array out puts selected colums from the bmi array. Trouble is with passing the pointer from the function. the newly reduced array of bmi then goes through the nested if functions in the main function

Chicken Pecatta
This is a basic recipe, which I give a little twist to by adding a provolone or smoked gouda slices melted on top of the breasts. Sometimes a fancy cold cut feels good. Add frozen peas at the end and you get a complete meal! Enjoy!
ciao! Tebaldi
Yield: 4 servings
- Chicken Peccatta
- Ingredients:
- 4 (6-ounce) chicken breasts
- 2 cups all-purpose flour, seasoned with salt and pepper
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 2 cups chicken stock
- 1 tablespoon capers
- 1/3 cup unsalted sweet cream butter
- Instructions
InstructionsDust the chicken breasts with the seasoned flour; shake of any excess.
Heat the olive oil in a heavy sided medium saute pan over medium heat and then add the chicken
breasts. Saute until golden brown on both sides. Once the chicken breasts are browned, drain the oil
and add the lemon juice, chicken stock, and capers to the pan with the chicken. Reduce for about 5
minutes, turning the chicken breasts halfway through. The chicken is done when it is firm to the
touch. Turn off the heat and add the butter, stirring until melted.
Put 1 chicken breast on each of 4 plates and sauce the dish
You could add your favorite cheese, or Prosciutto to top this off as well!!
Ciao! Tebaldi

'With skilled intervention as early as possible things can be improved and be made more tolerable for all concerned'
Sir, I am puzzled by Matthew Parris's venture into the complex area of Asperger's spectrum illness and his apparent attempt to make it a "medical diagnosis" with a simplistic "unable or unwilling" "clarity of the claimed pathology" (My Week, Apr 11). What is he hoping to achieve?
There may be many different factors contributing to different expressions of autistic traits: defective brain anatomy and physiology, delayed brain development, unconscious conflict over maturation and dependence on others, reactive responses to parental emotional states and parental behaviour. Attending to the interaction of these difficult interactive factors with compassion and thoughtfulness is

Good job guys! You were able to survive all the hustle and bustle of the semester. We have all worked hard throughout the semester..the papers..the sleepless nights..its time to take a break. If you didn't like how your grades came out, then prepare to work harder next semester.
A quick reflection…I had a home – school – work – home routine for my first 3 semesters in CCBC. I didn't think I needed to do anything other than academics in school.
However with the persuasion of a friend (Edward), I decided to get involved in my fourth semester (wished I didn't wait that long). I became a member of the Cyber club, Honors Program, Phi Theta Kappa and the Multicultural Students Association (MCSA) in which I served as Secretary. I also became a Student Ambassador and a blogger for CCBC. It has been a great journey so far and I am thankful for the people I met during this fun-filled journey. I want to thank google for being there for me when no one was!
Next step – I would be transferring to UMBC fall 2014 to complete my Bachelors degree in Computer Science with a minor in Cyber Security.
The President of CCBC, Dr Sandra Kurtinitis is such an awesome woman! (Sorry for the blurry pic )
That was my favorite shark, he was too shy..or she i don't know lol
The smaller fishes..they look like they're about to go for dinner
Somehow I forgot turtles were amphibians, meaning they live on both land and water..depending on their swag
You know when you ask someone if the pimple on your face is big?…
Yup! Thats a sea animal..#PokerDot lol
I just got ordered my graduation gown yesterday…YES! I'm graduating this May! Its been a long but interesting journey for me. You guys are going to miss me, I know :'( Funny enough, a lot of my friends are also graduating this May..also a lot of ambassadors and mentors. Student Life has started receiving applications for students who want to be either ambassadors or mentors.
I am a Student Ambassador and what I do is pretty much help with school events. The college organizes lots of cool events all through the semester and Events such as First Week, College and Transfer fairs, The President's Distinguished Speaker, Poverty Stimulation, Legislative Breakfast, End of the year BBQ and lots more. Its so much fun . We as student ambassadors help organize and publicize these events. Talking about publicizing…I am also privileged to be part of the bloggers & I help publicize school events on here. We also help give tours to incoming and curious outsiders (sort of giving tours to aliens on earth..its fun!)
First year Mentors deal with students and mostly freshmen. They are there to help students who are going through challenges academically, socially and otherwise. They make students feel welcome in the college and encourage them to maximize their college experience. They also share their experiences in ACDV classes and orientations.
No matter which of these positions you become, you're basically being the intermediary between the college and students, while enhancing your leadership skills. For more indept description of the two positions, you can click the link ahead that would take you to the application form (hopefully ) Student Leadership Program Application (Its the same form for both positions but you would be able to state your preference.) The applications are in the Student Life Office in case you wanted to grab one. If you need me to, I can refer you Just ask when you stumble into me on campus..not literally pls lol.]]>

At a 2009 Menopause and You event, attendees posed
questions to our guest speakers: Emily
Pollard, Lankenau Medical Center plastic and reconstructive surgeon;
Helena Schotland, Bryn Mawr Hospital sleep medicine specialist; and Marilyn
Ryan, Paoli Hospital endocrinologist. The session was moderated by Beverly
Vaughn, Menopause and You medical coordinator. This is a
summary of that Q&A session.
Surgical menopause assumes that the ovaries have been removed prior to
natural menopause. If estrogen is provided, the changes in skin, face
and hair shouldn't be different from those in someone who still has
functioning ovaries. A significant effect can be seen in bones and the
cardiovascular system. In the absence of estrogen there will be bone
loss and an increased chance of osteoporosis. Women who have an early
surgical menopause are at higher risk for coronary artery disease; this
is particularly true if they don't take estrogen after the surgery.
There are no tablets that are substitutes for estrogen. Black cohosh was
thought to be helpful, but this was disproved in a recent study.
Certainly soy products have benefit for the reduction of hot flashes.
Soy has isoflavones that have estrogen-like properties in some of the
body's tissues. The actual food has to be consumed for this effect to be
valuable. Good sources are tofu, tempeh, edamame beans, and soy milk.
Prescription estrogen shouldn't have a deleterious effect on high blood
pressure or kidney function.
I don't know of a support group for patients with surgical menopause.
You can get information on premature menopause, which includes surgical
menopause, from our website. You may also want to look at menopause.org,
the website for the North American Menopause Society.
The daily value for vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is 60 mg per day for
non-pregnant women, and the elderly have requirements up to 125 mg per
day. Requirements for smokers are increased by as much as 40 percent.
Best sources of this vitamin are fruits and vegetables. Vitamin C is
eliminated through the urine. If a supplement is taken, 100 to 200 mg
daily is adequate. Large doses of vitamin C (more than 1,000 mg daily)
have been associated with diarrhea and abdominal bloating. There is also
a possible relationship of high-dose vitamin C ingestion and calcium
oxalate kidney stones.
There are no specific foods that help to increase the metabolism and
energy levels, but there is some evidence that your energy improves if
you consume carbohydrates and protein together. It has also been
suggested that including at least three food groups at every meal is
beneficial for your energy level.
An appropriate strength-training regimen should be done about three
times a week for about 20 minutes each session. Two sets of eight
repetitions each are recommended. When the eighth lift is no longer a
challenge, the weight should be increased.
No, not necessarily! The basal metabolic rate (BMR) will decrease by
about 200 calories per day between the ages of 30 and 60 if a woman does
not maintain her muscle mass. If she works at maintaining muscle mass,
her BMR will remain the same. So yes, her daily requirements will
decrease by 200 calories daily, only if she allows her muscle mass to
diminish over time. (Importance of strengthening exercises!)
Try sleeping on your side rather than on your back to reduce snoring.
Also, stopping smoking or losing weight might also help.
This is typically determined during a sleep study (Polysomnography).
Newer CPAP machines also monitor compliance and efficacy, and this data
can be downloaded from the CPAP machine to a physician's computer. We
also follow the patient's symptoms.
Yes, both sleep disorders and sleep medications (typically
sedative-hypnotics) can affect memory.

Earnest Collins Jr. often refers to his University of Northern Colorado football team as his family.
Except on Thursday nights, that is. Oh, and some Saturday nights.
That's when Collins leaves the Xs, Os, film study, tendencies and player evaluations in his office at Butler-Hancock Sports Pavilion.
His wife Tabitha and daughters Tayler and Marci go from top shelf to top shelf with a bow.
Football can always wait when it comes to Collins' family, but the demands of his coaching job are time consuming and there are no guarantees.
Family time is special to Collins and there is a guarantee — "when I come home, 95 to 98 percent of the time, they're at the door to greet me with a hug," Collins said of his daughters."
Most nights — in fact every night except Thursday during the season — Collins doesn't usually head to the homestead until after 9 p.m.
When you start your day before the sun comes up, that makes for marathon work sessions that are the norm for Collins.
"Starting in August until basically that first week in February, there's just a couple of weeks for Christmas, it's seven days a week," said Collins, moments after directing final preparations for this afternoon's game at 4 at Northern Arizona University.
If the Bears play a Saturday afternoon game, Collins also reserves Saturday night for Tabitha and the girls.
"There was one afternoon game this year, and I don't even remember which one, but after everybody had left (the facility), I changed clothes and went back upstairs and started watching film on our next opponent," Collins said. "Just for about an hour, though. Then I went home."
Sometimes, Saturday nights at home even involve football.
"Oh, they'll tell you 'Dad comes home, and he's so mad, after an hour, I'm up in my room,' and that's it," Collins said. "That's where I have to get better of letting it go.
"This year has been such a frustrating year though with injures, suspensions and whatever," Collins added. "I probably haven't been very fair to my family in that sense. The last home game was better."
Thursday night, Collins was en route to his car when he stopped for an interview minus any game film or even a play chart in sight.
"It's family night, I'm going home," he said. "We cut the TV off, no cell phones, no nothing,."
No TV? On Thursday night? Really, Collins?
That means no Grey's Anatomy or Scandal along with Parks And Recreation or Glee?
"Well, not during dinner," Collins added. "After dinner we sit and watch one of our weekly shows — anything from NCIS to Bones, to Castle ... you have a DVR, you can record anything.
"Now my wife, she'll cut to the football game, she loves football," Collins added. "She has the NFL package, the whole thing."
Tabitha stopped short of calling herself a football junkie, but confirmed "I just love the game.
"I usually check the Cincinnati Bengals games because one of their players (offensive lineman) Anthony Collins is a player that Earnest recruited when he was coaching at Kansas."
Wednesday night this week was the Bears' Thanksgiving dinner for the coaching staff and their families, "which was really nice," Collins said.
Collins' personal schedule has altered some with Tayler, 15, starting basketball practice for University High. Marci is 11.
"During the season, the girls and I have a routine," Tabitha said. "When they were babies, it was more difficult. Now, they're more independent."
Sundays may be a day or rest for some, but for Collins, it's one of his busiest days.
"I've been here as early as 5 a.m. on Sundays," Collins said. "Now I might decide to leave at 8 and go to church, but then I come back."
Sunday is also a light practice day for the Bears.
Now, in the offseason, Collins' hours are more flexible but hardly that a of a banker.
"It's more 8-to-5 or 8-to-6," Collins conceded. "Now that the girls are getting older, it means going to a practice or a game. Take my wife out to dinner, but either way, there's more family time. It revolves around my family.
"We still designate a day ... Thursday," Collins said, adding, "whether it's during the season or in the offseason.
"Now, if you leave it up to my oldest one (Tayler) she'd be gone every weekend," Collins added.
Tabitha called the Collins' system "one that works," adding "it works for us. Maybe not everybody, but it works for us."
Collins and his wife will celebrate their 12th wedding anniversary on Christmas Eve, and one of his lifetime goals has been to make sure his girls know nothing different than having both parents attached at the hip.
"For me growing up it was just me and my sister and my mom who worked really hard, and when she'd get home, she was really tired," Collins explained. "I was always involved in athletics anyway,
"I don't have too many family members who have stayed married very long, so for me, it's like breaking that curse," Collins added. "I wanted my girls to see something different. They don't know what's it like to not have mom and dad around. For that, I'm really happy."

Just Conduct: Regulating Bench-Bar Relationships
Dana Remus
University of North Carolina School of Law
Yale Law & Policy Review, Vol. 30, No. 123, 2011
In this Article, I examine relationships between the American legal profession and judiciaries through the lens of judicial conduct regulation. Close relationships between bench and bar have been theorized to increase the political efficacy of these related institutions, but the increased political efficacy can be used to undermine as well as to support liberal democratic values. I argue that the legal profession's ongoing involvement in defining and regulating permissible judicial conduct has eroded the legitimacy and independence of both institutions. Through the twentieth-century process of judicial conduct regulation reform, the profession increased its own power at the expense of judicial power. Through the resulting codes of judicial conduct, the profession ensured that special and more lenient standards would apply to lawyers' interactions with judges. The result has been a challenge to core liberal democratic values through problematic appearances, problematic contacts, and excessively close relationships between bench and bar. I argue that these relationships should be voluntarily reconditioned to ensure that strong and independent judiciaries are supported by a strong and independent profession.

FLINT, MI -- Attorneys are still working to evaluate whether a criminal charge and $1.2 billion penalty against Toyota over accusations it misled the public and investigators about unintended acceleration will have any impact on a Genesee County lawsuit stemming from the death of a 77-year-old woman.
The U.S. Department of Justice announced the charge and financial penalty against the auto manufacturer Wednesday, March 19, but attorneys for the estate of a Flint woman, who they claim died from a crash resulting from unintended acceleration, say it's still too soon to tell how the announcement will affect their case.
"We're grateful for the work the Justice Department did," said West Virginia-based attorney Benjamin Bailey. "We're studying and assessing if it will have an impact on the allegations in our case."
Bailey is one of a number of attorneys representing the estate of 77-year-old Guadalupe Alberto. The attorneys claim that a sensor in Alberto's vehicle may have contained a "tin whisker" -- a small, electrically conductive outcropping -- that caused her vehicle to accelerate. They are also exploring possible problems with the vehicle's software system.
The penalty announced by the Justice Department only addressed unintended acceleration caused by accelerator pedals being trapped by floor mats and mechanical problems that caused accelerators to be stuck in the depressed position -- not the vehicles' electronic systems.
Toyota has denied that tin whiskers played a role in any of the unintended acceleration cases.
Alberto's 2005 Toyota Camry careened down West Copeman Boulevard in Flint April 19, 2008, at 80 mph, weaving in and out of traffic before hitting a tree, sending her vehicle airborne. The car eventually smashed into another tree, hitting it 8 feet off of the ground, killing her instantly.
Secretary of Transportation Ray LaHood said in 2011 that teams from NASA and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration concluded that there was no electronics-based cause for the high-speed acceleration in vehicles.
But the talk of tin whiskers picked up again after a separate team of NASA scientists published a study that said a tin whisker-induced short was responsible for the failure of an acceleration sensor in a 2003 Toyota Camry. Sen. Charles E. Grassley, R-Iowa, also called for tin whiskers to be looked into in a letter he wrote to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration in July 2012.
"So-called 'tin whiskers' are not a new phenomenon and do not represent a mysterious or undetectable problem in a vehicle's electronics," Toyota wrote in a statement following Grassley's letter. "Indeed, no data indicates that tin whiskers are more prone to occur in Toyota vehicles than any other vehicle in the marketplace. Further, no one has ever found a single real-world example of tin whiskers causing an unintended acceleration event, nor have they put forth any evidence of unintended acceleration occurring in a Toyota vehicle because of tin whiskers forming inside an accelerator pedal position sensor."
Toyota's $1.2 billion penalty -- the largest penalty of its kind ever levied against an automotive manufacturer -- stems from a charge that Toyota defrauded consumers in 2009 and 2010 by issuing misleading statements about unintended acceleration issues in its vehicles.
Federal authorities say the auto manufacturer also took steps to hide the defects from National Highway Traffic Safety Administrator investigators.
"Toyota stands charged with a criminal offense because it cared more about savings than safety and more about its own brand and bottom line than the truth," U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara for the Southern District of New York said in a statement. "In its zeal to stanch bad publicity in 2009 and 2010, Toyota misled regulators, misled customers, and even misstated the facts to Congress. The tens of millions of drivers in America have an absolute right to expect that the companies manufacturing their cars are not lying about serious safety issues; are not slow-walking safety fixes; and are not playing games with their lives. Companies that make inherently dangerous products must be maximally transparent, not two-faced. That is why we have undertaken this landmark enforcement action. And the entire auto industry should take notice."
The agreement between Toyota and federal authorities includes a stipulation that calls for prosecutors to dismiss the criminal charge if the auto manufacturer makes the required monetary payment, abides by the terms of the agreement and continues to cooperate with the government.
"At the time of these recalls, we took full responsibility for any concerns our actions may have caused customers, and we rededicated ourselves to earning their trust," Christopher P. Reynolds, chief legal officer of Toyota Motor North America, said in a statement. "In the more than four years since these recalls, we have gone back to basics at Toyota to put our customers first."
The case over Alberto's death is scheduled to proceed to trial May 6 in front of Genesee Circuit Judge Archie Hayman.

Wrongfully convicted NorCal man freed from prison
Ronald Ross spent 7 years behind bars
A judge in Northern California has released a 51-year-old man who spent nearly seven years behind bars after being wrongfully convicted for attempted murder.
Ronald Ross sobbed when Alameda County Judge Jon Rolefson ordered his release Friday. A team of volunteer lawyers argued for four years that Ross was a victim of sloppy police work and lies by witnesses.
He says he harbors no anger.
He was convicted and sentenced to 25 years to life in prison for his alleged role in the 2006 shooting of Renardo Williams, a neighbor of his mother in Oakland.
After Ross lost his appeal in 2008, the Northern California Innocence Project at Santa Clara University and the San Francisco law firm Keker and Van Nest began investigating his case.

Somewhere amidst the Bob Sanders and free agency talk is the obvious thought among Jaguars fans that the draft is going to be key towards rebuilding the secondary. Even if Eric Weddle or Bob Sanders are signed, the long-term depth at safety and cornerback arguably goes no further than Derek Cox and Courtney Greene.
One cornerback that Gene Smith has sat down and offers the potential to be a mid-round draft pick is USC's Shareece Wright. Unfortunately, I have been left underwhelmed by Wright's athletic ability and coverage ability. Couple those with supposed character concerns and Wright is a guy I would rather the Jaguars pass on come April.
Shareece Wright fits the profile of an NFL cornerback, but doesn't excel in any particular category physically. His 5'11, 182 pounds is a good frame, if not a little light. His 4.4-4.5 speed is average.
I have watched tape on Wright and watched him in person and nothing about his play leapt out to me as special. I watched USC CB Kevin Thomas during the 2009 season and the difference between he and Wright seemed minimal. Thomas was drafted in the late 3rd round to the Colts and went on injured reserve shortly after being drafted so I'll reserve judgement for now.
However, Thomas was slightly bigger, slightly faster and had a much shorter list of concerns. Among Wright's concerns is an injury history that becomes even more concerning with his light frame. In 2008 he suffered a hairline fracture in his neck that ended his season. The neck took a long time to heal and could be a concern for teams considering drafting Wright.
Also concerning are his struggles with academics that left him temporarily ineligible for competition in 2009 and a charge for resisting a police officer also in 2009. As someone who doesn't personally know Wright or the circumstances surrounding both events, I will not pass judgement; however, it is something that will surely be addressed by teams talking with Wright at the combine.
Setting character concerns and injury history aside, I don't believe that Wright's athletic skills and cornerback instincts justify a 2nd, 3rd or even 4th round pick. Add the concerns on top and Shareece Wright is another player I would avoid in this year's draft.

About Willow Smith
At the age of 11, Willow Smith has already been seen on the big and small screen opposite some of today's most successful actors and actresses, including her father Will Smith. Wanting to pursue her real passion, Smith launched her music career with the release of the hit single, "Whip My Hair," which debuted to rave reviews and quickly became a dance anthem, selling more than two million copies. In the fall of 2010, Smith signed with Jay-Z's record label, Roc Nation. Continuing to make waves in the music industry, Smith teamed up with hip hop superstar Nicki Minaj in the fall of 2011 for her third single "Fireball." The duo shot the music video for "Fireball" under the direction of acclaimed video director Hype Williams.
Smith also is a philanthropist serving as a youth ambassador, alongside her brother Jaden Smith, for Project Zambi in conjunction with the Hasbro Corporation. She is currently working on her debut album scheduled for release in 2012. Smith is the recipient of several awards including an NAACP award for Outstanding New Artist and BET's "YoungStar" award.

In the last few years, J has penned songs for the likes of Chris Brown and Lisa Lois, the winner of Holland's "The X Factor." Her life inspired the melody of a major hit record, "Party in the USA," performed by Miley Cyrus. J has had huge success in the U.S. with the Dr. Luke-produced "Price Tag," an upbeat, energetic dance number that highlights her booming voice.

Hundreds apply for 10 police dispatcher jobs
Jobs pay $35K-$47K annually
UPDATED 2:05 PM CDT Mar 30, 2013
Hundreds of job-seekers turned out Saturday for just 10 dispatch openings with the Milwaukee Police Department.
Applicants told WISN the job appealed to them because it involved making a positive difference in the community.
"I would love to help people -- that is my main goal," said applicant Cheryl Pease. "If I see somebody hurt on the street, I'm going to do what I can to help, and hopefully it would be coming back to me. So if this is what I can do to help, this is what I'm going to do."
The new dispatchers will make between $35,000 and $47,000 a year.

HONOLULU (AP) - State officials are continuing to assess how severely last month's molasses spill into Honolulu Harbor harmed coral, fish and other marine life.
Frazer McGilvray, administrator of the Division of Aquatic Resources, said he doesn't have an estimate of the extent or severity of coral damage.
"We know that there's significant numbers of dead coral down there," McGilvray told the Honolulu Star-Advertiser in a report published Thursday. "What we've seen is substantial injuries to corals of various species below the water."
How long the assessment takes will depend on what state-contracted divers find below the surface.
What state officials conclude could eventually help determine the cost of restoring the area.
Shipping company Matson Navigation Co. has taken responsibility after a faulty pipe leaked molasses into the harbor and has pledged not to pass on cleanup costs to taxpayers and customers.
As for remediation and restoration costs, Matson said in an emailed statement that it will be in a better position to address its role once government agencies finish assessing the damage.
Whether the coral will recover depends on the "ecological conditions moving forward" in the harbor and Keehi Lagoon, McGilvray said. "Different species of corals will react differently to the molasses and recover at different rates, if there's going to be a recovery at all."
Up to 1,400 tons, or 233,000 gallons, of molasses leaked into the harbor from the Matson pipe last month. More than 26,000 fish and other marine species suffocated and died after the spill.

We want you to be our customer for life. We want your referrals and testimonials. Please remember that this process, from beginning to end, happens involving humans. Despite our efforts, there may be times when things may not go as smoothly as we would like. If the unlikely should happen, please know that we promise to remedy the situation ASAP. ACG2 furniture is handcrafted in imperfect conditions by imperfect human beings, using Polylumber, a recycled product and certain small imperfections are considered natural and characteristic. We promise to operate under the Golden Rule, "Do unto others as you would have others do unto you." ACG2 expects that those individuals we have the pleaser of doing business with do the same. Remember 'Nice gets Nice…!'
Let's get this started; "I can't wait to get my furniture…!"
- With a 50% deposit due at the time you place your customized furniture order, we promise to get your order to the crafter promptly. The remainder amount due is at time of pickup or delivery. During our "Winter Sales Event" other arrangements may be required. FYI: Orders typically take between 30 and 60 days, unless otherwise specified. Some orders may, in exceptional circumstances, take up to 90 days. "Spring Thaw" in most cases means, anywhere between late February and early May (assuming the order was placed in the winter months)! Estimated arrival dates, to our warehouse, are approximate and may occur before, on, or after the date listed.
- We promise to use the information on your order, for all pertinent correspondence. Please make sure it is correct (street vs. avenue, house # and telephone #, etc.).
- We promise to fulfill the order as it is written on your order form. Please know the first color listed is the seat and/or back color. The second color listed is the frame and arm color. We are happy to give you the option of more than two color combinations, for an additional charge. Please understand each crafter builds their furniture as an artist would paint canvas, so there are individual limitations set by each crafter including color, function, and style. We promise to help you understand any such limitations.
Oops, "I changed my mind…!"
- We promise to contact you as soon as your furniture is ready for pick up! Due to limited space, we ask that you make every effort to come within 10 days of notification.
- We promise to have your furniture at the store as long as we are given 48 hours notice that you are coming, as items must be brought from the warehouse to the store for pickup. Customers who fail to pick up furniture on schedule day, without notice, will be charged a $10.00 per day storage fee. This fee will be due at the time furniture is picked up along with the remaining balance.
- We promise to make this process as smooth as possible, by having staff available to help you load your furniture onto your vehicle or trailer. In order to do this, we must ask you to schedule a "specific time" on a "specific day" chosen to pick up your furniture.
