The Usual Suspects
It was a Sunday morning in July; the five cyclists, ranging in age from 26 to 45, were on their regular weekend ride. On this particular Sunday morning, they planned to ride from Kanata, on the outskirts of Ottawa, Ontario, to Pakenham, and back again, a round trip of about 57.5 miles.
They never made it out of Kanata.
Barely 3 miles into their trip, as the cyclists were riding single-file within a bicycle lane, a van angled into their lane as it passed the last cyclist, clipping her before continuing ahead, plowing directly into the remaining 4 cyclists.
The driver fled the scene.
The injured cyclists were reported to be:
• A man in his late 30s, who suffered closed head injuries and showed signs of brain injuries. He also suffered a broken ankle, and was intubated by paramedics before being airlifted to hospital. He was unconscious on arrival at hospital and is listed in critical condition;
• A man, 39, who suffered a concussion and other closed head injuries. He was listed in critical condition but stable condition, and was undergoing surgery late Sunday morning. The man's father, Marcelli Wein, identified him as Robert Wein, a public servant and father of two. Wein is a triathlete who competed last weekend in a triathlon in Carleton Place.
• A 26-year-old woman, identified as Hilary McNamee, a social work student at Carleton University by her father. She suffered closed head injuries, and a possible hip or femur fracture. She was taken to hospital by helicopter and was listed initially in critical condition, then upgraded to serious condition;
• A 36-year-old man, who suffered minor head and leg injuries;
• A woman, 45, who suffered a broken arm and a possible dislocated elbow, identified by a friend as Cathy Anderson of Kanata.
A few hours later, the driver turned himself in to police, and was charged with five counts of failing to stop at the scene of a collision causing bodily harm.
Apparently shocked by the senseless carnage, Ottawa police decided to address bicycle safety as a part of their Integrated Road Safety Program. The target of their bicycle safety campaign?
Directing their attention at safety violations made by cyclists, Ottawa police ticketed 340 cyclists in August, and handed out 500 free bicycle bells. Additionally, police handed out hundreds of information pamphlets on safe cycling at intersections known to be a high-risk for collisions between cyclists and motorists.
Now, if cyclists are violating the traffic laws, they should be ticketed; the traffic laws are a commonly understood and agreed-upon set of rules that give everybody on the road some degree of assurance that other people on the road will behave in predictable ways. The greater the enforcement of the laws, the greater the degree of compliance with the laws we can expect, and thus, the greater the degree of predictability we can apply to the actions of others. It is this predictability that allows us to maneuver our vehicles in close proximity without crashing into each other. Traffic laws, and their enforcement, are a proactive attempt to prevent accidents before they occur, while lawsuits and insurance settlements are a reactive attempt to deal with the aftermaths of accidents after they occur. So in that light, it is not only "acceptable" to enforce the law, it is necessary to enforce the law, because enforcement is a vital component of the accident-preventing intent of traffic laws.
And thus, if cyclists are violating the traffic laws, they should be ticketed. And as should be obvious, and even more essential to road safety, motorists who are violating the traffic laws should also be ticketed.
All that said, didn't it strike anybody—anybody?—at the Ottawa Police Service that in rounding up "the usual suspects," they just might be targeting the wrong people? If they were truly attempting to develop an enforcement response to a shocking and horrific crash—and there's no reason to believe that they weren't sincere in their response—would it make any sense at all to target cyclists? After all, the cyclists injured in the crash were all law-abiding cyclists, riding in the bicycle lane, and run down by a driver who never hit his brakes, continued driving for another 400 feet as he hit one cyclist after another, and then with his victims laying critically injured on the roadway behind him, continued on his way as if nothing had happened.
And the best response the Ottawa Police Service can come up with is an enforcement action that targets cyclists? Really? That's it? That's the best they can come up with?
What about a stepped-up enforcement action against drunk drivers? What about stepped-up enforcement against reckless drivers? Against aggressive drivers? Against drivers who harass law-abiding cyclists? What about targeting the most dangerous violations of the law, like excessive speed, or red light running? Wouldn't any of these have been a more appropriate response than a program targeting the victims of this horrific incident?
Tellingly, while their attention was focused on cyclists, Ottawa police still managed to nab 500 drivers who ran red lights. 500. It's an impressive number. But just imagine what the Ottawa police might have accomplished if they weren't so busy looking for cyclists with no bells on their bikes.
It looks like the usual suspects aren't only the most vulnerable party but also not as guilty as this police response implies.
The problem is that the campaign in connection with the tragedy blames the victims, and presents the image to the general public that riding single file in a bike lane is inherently dangerous, and it's up to cyclists to somehow change.
Too many drivers (and police officers sadly) already don't know cyclists rights on the roads. Things like this just make it worse.
Enough with the stop sign thing. Seriously. Park your butt at a stop sign intersection and count the number of cars that actually stop. As in their wheels stop rolling. This is a joke. A sad joke.
Not sure why this infraction is considered par for the course for cars and widely ignored, yet everytime bikes come up it's "oh the stop signs."
In Portland there was a similar thing a few years ago. A cyclist was killed by a truck that right hooked him. He was in the bike lane and had right-of-way. A week later a woman was right hooked in the exact same spot. She survived. Where were the police? You'd think that after a fatal collision they might be at that intersection citing cars for not yielding to bikes. Nope. They were 3 miles away running a stop sign sting at a major bike thoroughfare. At an intersection where there has not been one collision.
Psychologists also say that observation bias leads drivers to remember the bad cyclists, and forget the ones that behave.
Surestick, the Toronto study did not say that cyclists only cause 10% of vehicle/bicycle crashes. It said that driver error contributed to 90% of them. It's not a zero-sum game. Many crashes are caused by a combination of mistakes by both parties. An example would be a driver turning into the path of a wrong-way cyclist.
And by the way, I am also a cyclist and a motorist. And a traffic engineer.
I can't stand that there are SOOO many stupid cyclists nowadays. They think they own the road and that cars and pedestrians need to make way for them. I live in a mostly rural area with 45mph and 55mph speed limits. Two lane, curvy and hilly roads with no side line or only a few inches outside the lines. I would never think of riding on those roads. I was taught to think before acting. These people think the world stops for them.
Yet every day when in my car, there's a few idiots riding on those roads and taking up to three feet of space. Hell, I still find ADULTS all decked out with road bikes and gear riding AGAINST traffic!!! Even at night.
WTF? I never did that crap and still don't.
Then there's those who blow right through stop signs, lights, etc. They don't even bother to pause long enough to figure out if side traffic has a stop/light or is just pulling away from a legal stop. I've been hit broadside three times in four years by these idiots.
You mention that cyclists are notorious for breaking the traffic laws. Do you assert that car drivers generally don't break the law?
I recently spent a week cycling in and around Copenhagen. Cyclists there were of course much more numerous than in the US. They in general obeyed the traffic laws. Not all of them did, to be sure. But if cyclists want to be respected and treated as equals on the road, then more of them need to start riding as if the rules of the road applied to them.
And they are ticketed at every opportunity. Why should cyclists be any different? Your defense of 'everyone else does it' is very weak.
Just look at the comments here. KDT is the perfect example of someone who should spend more time doing something more productive than pointing fingers.
Some bicyclists ignore traffic laws.
Bicyclist that is obeying the law is killed by a reckless driver.
Therefore, warn bicyclists against ignoring traffic law.
Let's apply that to something we all - drivers, bicyclists and pedestrians alike - can understand.
Some pedestrians jaywalk.
A pedestrian that is not jaywalking is killed by a vehicle.
Therefore, warn all pedestrians not to jaywalk.
Gee, now that's a bit stupid, isn't it?
Everyone pay attention to your driving and cycling habits for a week. Notice each time you bend, stretch, or break a traffic law. And then don't do it.
Slow down. Use your turn signals (or hand signals). Stop *completely* at the stop sign or light. Don't try to "beat the yellow." Give others ample space. Don't swerve in and out of lanes. No texting. No telephone. Both hands on the wheel/handlebars.
Respect the laws of physics. Your speed and your size make you dangerous (yes, even a bicycle).
And then, at the end of the week, smile that you did this for a whole week.
And do it again the next week.
And this happens because we let it happens. Police appears more interested in easy prey than in addressing such isssues.
Cyclists passing in a 1:15 period: 41
Cyclists failing to stop at the traffic light: 0
Cyclists running a yellow light: 1 (it was marginally unsafe in my opinion)
Cyclists failing to stop prior to making a right-hand turn: 12
Motorists passing: I lost count
Motorists failing to stop at the traffic light: 3
Motorists running the yellow light: 6
Motorists failing to stop prior to making a right-hand turn: well over 30 - I lost count
Motorcyclists passing: again I lost count - this is a mecca for motorcycles
Motorcyclists failing to stop at the traffic light: 0
Motorcyclists running the yellow light: 0
Motorcyclists not stopping prior to making a right turn: over 20
I did witness a motorist who honked and yelled obscenities at a group of cyclists who were turning left in the left-hand turn lane. One of them apparently struggled clipping in.
Again - this is non-scientific. I'm sure I could pick the same intersection and get different results. I was honestly surprised at how respectful the cycling community was of the traffic regulations, and didn't expect the data to come out as it did.
Maybe if we found a way to sponsor a scientific study it would tell us (cyclists) where to focus our efforts. There are clearly infractions happening, but as many have pointed out, a built-in bias may be exaggerating our perceptions.

CLEVELAND HEIGHTS -- City Council voted unanimously Nov. 19 to raise trash collection and rental fees in 2013.
Starting Jan. 1, residents of single-family homes not receiving the homestead rate for sewage treatment service and units of buildings with multiple dwellings will see their monthly bills increase from $7 to $11.50. All other properties – excluding single-family homes receiving the homestead rate – will have their monthly bills increased from $12 to $18.
Residents in single-family homes receiving the homestead rate will be charged the same $3 per month.
The city's trash collection fees were last amended in 2009. The legislation outlining this latest change states "it is necessary to increase said fee to cover increased costs to the City associated with the collection and disposal of solid waste".
Also starting Jan. 1, the fee to accompany an annual application for a certificate of occupancy for any residential rental property will increase from $100 to $150 for the first unit in a building. The fee for additional units will remain at $25.
The maximum fee any building can incur has been raised from $1,100 to $1,150 per year.
Legislation concerning the rental fee hike states "it is necessary to increase some of the fees for certificates of occupancy for rental properties to more adequately covert he administrative costs of conducting inspections and issuing said certificates."

I read an article recently about ingredients that are in food. Things of which we aren't aware. One of those items was, wait for it . . . A beaver's anal gland 'juice'.

Have you ever been forced away from watching your favorite sports team because of some prior obligation, only to find yourself sneaking away to the nearest TV to check on the score? Well, then ScoreMobile's new iPhone app is for you. Essentially, ScoreMobile has taken its already killer iPhone web app and translated it over to a nice downloadable package. Right now, ScoreMobile offers real-time scores and stats for MLB, NBA, NFL, NHL, NCAAF, NCAAB, and even CFL for our Canadian readers.
Even though I have dropped a lot of jaws by showing off the instantaneous video highlights that MLB.com's iPhone app provides, it is certainly lacking in the statistics department. ScoreMobile picks up the slack. The application gives live standings, lineups, and a variety of other statistics. Even though it doesn't have video highlights like MLB's app, the statistics provided here are much more robust.
The lack of sports applications that are available for the iPhone is really amazing to me. There is certainly a large market of sports fans out there, waiting to be tapped into. Despite the apparent void of good sports applications, ScoreMobile's app for iPhone is clearly the best available right now. It serves up rich and timely statistics and has a slick UI. The best part is that it's free, so it's worth your click to download it at the very least. You can give it a try here.

Pictures of the premium Samsung Galaxy F leak
0. phoneArena 07 Jun 2014, 10:36 posted on
The Samsung Galaxy F is expected to be the "premium" version of the Samsung Galaxy S5, with features that include a 5.3 inch 1440 x 2560 QHD screen, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 processor, 3GB of RAM, and a 16MP rear camera with OIS. Instead of a plastic body, the Galaxy F employs a metal casing. What gives this rumor some bite, is that prior to the unveiling of the Samsung Galaxy S5 at MWC, there was speculation about a QHD screened Samsung Galaxy F...

The Galaxy S series sucks anyway, only Samsung's note series is good.

Yeah lol one guys point of view vs the million they have sold hahaha funny
73. Shatter (Posts: 2036; Member since: 29 May 2013)
Have you actually used the Note 3 next to the S5? Its hilarious how much better their phone that came out in September 2013 is... I own both phones from T-Mobile.
104. wilsong17 (unregistered)
i feel you but the s5 is not that bad they made touchwiz so simple is like a child can get with it... i own the note 3 waiting for the note 4.. but i really dont see myself changing the note right now i dont need to change
lol also guess wat i just froze 220 app on my note 3 now

lmaoooo. my dad has had a note 3 since maybe september yeah. I've been using the GS5 for a week now, and even my dad tells you that it outshines his Note in every single area, but surely not screen size and S-Pen, but in every other aspect, it beats the h*ll out of it.

I'll wait for the Note 4 instead. I believe everyone goes biannually now, like Sony, which I initially don't really like.
11. KillerKeyboard (Posts: 344; Member since: 21 Nov 2013)
Just another aftermarket case for the s5.
21. maherk (Posts: 3750; Member since: 10 Feb 2012)
This is a removable back panel, I have 3 of them (but not the metal ones, they affect network signal and locks down the gps). Anyways, just like I said yesterday, phonearena will publish whatever they stumble upon.
34. billgates (banned) (Posts: 555; Member since: 29 May 2014)
No they dont, I got to use my friends M8 in this little craptop town and it consistently had better service than my s5.
41. maherk (Posts: 3750; Member since: 10 Feb 2012)
I didn't mean to bash the M8. I was talking about those aftermarket battery covers. I never tried the M8 to comment on that matter, but my S5 always have 4 to 5 signal bars.
69. The-Sailor-Man (banned) (Posts: 1095; Member since: 25 Mar 2014)
You don't have the M8 crap, or the great S5. You just wanna bash Samsung.
98. billgates (banned) (Posts: 555; Member since: 29 May 2014)
Yep you know exactly what I own or have messed with.. effing idiot
12. ArtSim98 (Posts: 3535; Member since: 21 Dec 2012)
I just want that "powered by Android" text on my phone. Though I basically never turn my phone off/on.
As for that phone, it's FUGLY
14. fredmode01 (Posts: 19; Member since: 17 Jul 2012)
If I remember correctly, their Chief Designer was fired, or left the house several monthes ago.. That was a clever idea.. let's hope they found someone else, a better designer with fresh new and inspiring ideas for 2015, because they won't get me buy any Galaxy phone which looks that way (and i loved my SGS2 and Galaxy Nexus a lot)
17. DaftPunk (Posts: 22; Member since: 24 Apr 2014)
That "F" look like fake to me.
18. NokiaFTW (Posts: 2071; Member since: 24 Oct 2012)
I like this phone. Its the best looking Samsung phone to date IMO.
19. zuckerboy (banned) (Posts: 898; Member since: 22 Dec 2011)

20. Emmanuelz (Posts: 160; Member since: 01 Aug 2013)
Looks the same though waiting fore note 4
22. vintage (Posts: 15; Member since: 12 Feb 2014)
Most Of Yall Dont Have Your Own Mind You Comment The Same Thing As Someone Else For Likes. If You Dont Like Samsung Why Go On A Article Thats About It?
23. MINDoSOUL (Posts: 149; Member since: 28 Feb 2014)
SAMSUNG will you please give us a another design language, i am so sick of the physical button and capacitive ones. i was one of your loyal customers until you stopped listening to your customers a lot of us have been asking for the change for like 2 years now, at least start a pilot project and see the response i bet you will regain and maintain a lot of your customers. Just look at LG they are doing it right.
74. The-Sailor-Man (banned) (Posts: 1095; Member since: 25 Mar 2014)
The physical button and capacitive ones, are the best things that Samsung give us.
Though I agree that is time Sansung to change the design.(its funny how much the iboys speak about "design", because have nothing else to speak. But the iphone is fugly, and M8 too. Wrong design for smartphones )
81. Shatter (Posts: 2036; Member since: 29 May 2013)
There isn't much to change on the front they could really just change the design of the phone speaker and the button and the curve of the corners.
The M8 is targetted at people who like shiny expensive looking stuff even though its cheap alumnium that is not premium at all. Aluminum is actually cheaper than a lot of the plastics used in phones.
27. newbey123 (Posts: 573; Member since: 19 Mar 2012)
Wow, its still ugly and uninspiring.

Wow, that's uninspiring at ALL. All they have done is slap a metal back cover on original S5.
Please be fake, please be fake, please be fake~!!!

Wow this is super disappointing, it looks like the regular one with a different back cover. SS stop putting that generic front on everything... looks terrible

Does anyone know what update the s5 had on att yesterday? Mine updated but I didn't notice any changes
43. fzacek (Posts: 2486; Member since: 26 Jan 2014)
Samsung is stupid if it actually announces this phone. This is what the S5 should have been in the first place if Samsung wanted to have a more premium phone to compete with the G3. Now, they're just screwing S5 owners and making many people dislike Samsung's ways. Bad move, Samsung, bad move...
48. teerex42 (Posts: 209; Member since: 14 Jun 2012)
Wrong why do you think they out sell every others. ..best phones best screens.
53. fzacek (Posts: 2486; Member since: 26 Jan 2014)
True, but that doesn't justify them coming out with a flagship and then after three months changing their mind and coming out with something better. This kind of behaviour pisses people off...
78. GreekGeek (Posts: 1276; Member since: 22 Mar 2014)
Times are a-changing brother,
The days of 1 year flagship cycle is, safe to say, OVER
I guess we just have to accept this, it is what it is, after all we have no business complaining, we're only given choices, which is for the most part, a good thing
86. Cicero (Posts: 870; Member since: 22 Jan 2014)
805 is ready for the market now. Do you want Samsung not stepping on? All the time the technology evolved especially mobile site. Ram, Cpu, Gpu, screen, factoring on 20 nm etc.

Who ever doesn't like the design, it's easy jst don't f*** buy it n stop complaining.

55. spasticpat (Posts: 98; Member since: 18 Dec 2012)
The way I look at it, there's always going to be a newer and better device right around the corner, so when I'm ready to upgrade I look at what's available to me to order or preorder and I get what works best for me. Samsung just wants to make a profit like any other company.
59. psychox911 (Posts: 10; Member since: 10 May 2014)
Now i envy my patient to wait!
67. DogeShibe (Posts: 1113; Member since: 10 Jan 2014)
The only two phones (design) that i like from samsung are Samsung F400 & S8500 Wave.
76. na7noo7 (Posts: 278; Member since: 29 Mar 2014)
If this device has no heartrate sensor, then I will have a great phone.
77. GreekGeek (Posts: 1276; Member since: 22 Mar 2014)
Note 4 is where it's at
79. BaffledTruffle (Posts: 506; Member since: 07 Dec 2013)
The phone looks sturdy and heavy. I like it but the back cover looks blech. The front does look sexy, though.
83. Amir1 (unregistered)
WOW, why am i not excited...?
85. JMartin22 (Posts: 1969; Member since: 30 Apr 2013)
The design language of this S5 is fine. People that just inherently hate or despise Samsung will always go out of their way to illogically hate anything the company does, regardless if it's plastic, cheap soda can aluminum or what have you.
You want to know what I really think is ugly design language?
The M8 and its colossal size for a "small" 5 inch display, on top of the on-screen capacitive buttons that already eat into a good 15-20% of the screen real-estate
The Z2 for featuring such big and unattractive bezels that needlessly eat into the footprint of the phone and also make fitting a smaller screen onto something more cumbersome than it has to be. I'm sure they could achieve their IP ratings with more smarter and intelligent design engineering on their products.
91. HarryWild (Posts: 60; Member since: 18 Oct 2012)
So this is the Prime? Not that much to look at! Kind of ugly! But I'm going to buy it so it might be beautiful to someone that like it!
93. scy1192 (Posts: 11; Member since: 15 May 2014)
Last time we heard a prototype came with an 801 but would have an 805 on launch, it was the G3 and that certainly doesn't have an 805
94. Noble_One (Posts: 60; Member since: 18 Aug 2012)
Was thinking the same thing...

101. LeBrownJames (Posts: 201; Member since: 17 Mar 2014)
If this is still the design, then its Galaxy Fail.
102. simpleas (Posts: 196; Member since: 30 Apr 2014)
Not sure why you guys are so mad lol. Here's how I see it. Samsung makes great phones but looks wise, it could improve on a lot. But the fact is, their phones are great. Why it sells. I just wish they'd get a new design team. That, is their missing link.
103. bonsly16 (Posts: 68; Member since: 23 Oct 2011)
But...I just...got my S5...last week D:
106. willywanta (Posts: 285; Member since: 04 Jun 2014)
there there
just wait for note4
105. willywanta (Posts: 285; Member since: 04 Jun 2014)
i don't know. I think the design is still uninspiring.
Dear samsung, please retreat to your era 5-6 years ago when you produced beautiful phones. I miss my sensing bijoux agh-t500, my samsung true i sgh-t100, the chic slider agh-e800, and oh the ultra series.
Take inspiration from that and i'm sure your phones will be great

Again, this is fabricated! The placement of the 'F' is very asymmetrical it's obvious the 'S' and '5' were tampered. The brushed metallic battery cover can also be bought from eBay for 10 bucks. THIS. IS. FAKE!
110. kryme (Posts: 355; Member since: 24 Oct 2013)
these geeks need to remember wen samsung is making a phone, wat u want is exactly wat samsung dont care about... samsung going for the 200+million people who are actually buying their phones yearly than the 10 thousand geeks around the world who whine about how a phone looks.....
111. Jalil (Posts: 40; Member since: 28 Sep 2013)
Design is the same as original GS5.
I prefer LG G3 design.

Edmonton beats Val-d'Or in longest game in Memorial Cup history
LONDON, Ontario -- Curtis Lazar scored at 2 minutes, 42 seconds of the third overtime to give the Edmonton Oil Kings a 4-3 victory over the Val-d'Or Foreurs late Friday night in the longest game in Memorial Cup history.
Lazar deflected Cody Corbett's shot from the blue line past goalie Antoine Bibeau.
Western Hockey League champion Edmonton will face the Guelph Storm in the championship game today at 4 p.m. The Ontario HockeyLeague champion Storm finished round-robin play 3-0, beating Edmonton 5-2 on May 17 in the tournament opener for both teams. On Tuesday night, Val-d'Or beat Edmonton 4-3 in double overtime.
Val-d'Or defenseman Guillaume Gelinas forced overtime, scoring with 36 seconds left in regulation with Bibeau off for an extra attacker. Mads Eller, Mitch Moroz and Edgars Kulda also scored for Edmonton, and Tristan Jarry made 46 saves.
Phil Pietroniro and Randy Gazzola added goals for Quebec Major Junior Hockey League champion Val-d'Or. Bibeau made 50 saves.
At 102 minutes, 42 seconds, the game broke the tournament record of 95:41 set in London in 2005 when the Ottawa 67's beat the Kelowna Rockets in double overtime.
On Tuesday night, Val-d'Or beat Edmonton lost 4-3 in double overtime.

If it were bad for you, why would your liver manufacture 80% of the cholesterol in your blood (20% from diet). It's not a foreign substance to be minimized. There is a ton of newer info on cholesterol and your heart - again, get a more informed doctor.

'Twilight' soundtrack, Nickelback performed
NEW YORK — Warner Music Group reported some encouraging results Thursday despite ongoing unrest in the music biz.
Edgar Bronfman's company posted a $23 million net profit in the fiscal first quarter that ended Dec. 31 compared with a $16 million loss in the year-earlier period. Total revenue declined 11% to $878 million, but digital revenue soared 20% to $171 million and now comprises 19% of total revenue.
The profit figure includes a gain of $35 million related to the sale of a stake in Frontline Management to Ticketmaster.
Top sellers during the quarter included the "Twilight" soundtrack and new albums from Nickelback, Enya, Seal, T.I. and Johnny Hallyday. None came close to the 4 million-unit smash of the prior-year quarter, Josh Groban's "Noel," which was the No. 1 release of 2007 by any distrib.
The angst-ridden retail environment over recent months has accelerated consumers' movement away from packaged music and toward digital downloads. Some major retailers, including Circuit City and Woolworths in the U.K., have gone bankrupt while others are closing stores.
Due to those market conditions and tough comparisons, domestic revenue fell 19%, with international revenue slipping just 5%.
The company's beleaguered shares closed up 23.9% at $2.49 Thursday.
Execs noted that Warner Music had $549 million in cash on its books as of Dec. 30 vs. $160 million a year earlier.
In addition, Warner Music's Atlantic Records Group has upped Julie Greenwald to chair and chief operating officer. Her focus has been management strategies and marketing.

Into the void: Mapping abandoned mines in 3D
WILKES-BARRE -- Robert Hughes stopped his maroon SUV in the middle of Espy Street, turning on his flashers to let drivers know he might be there for a while.
He knelt by an uncovered hole in the street, about the diameter of a coffee can, and spooled a yellow, metal-tipped measuring tape into the dark. He lowered the tip 23 feet before a beep let him know it had touched water.
He had found the surface of the pool that formed in the abandoned coal mine beneath the Wilkes-Barre neighborhood.
"Do you think all these people here know there's water 23 feet below their houses?" Hughes said, nodding toward the homes about a hundred feet away. "Doubt it."
Borehole measurements are some of the data Hughes is using to create three-dimensional maps of the abandoned mines below the Lackawanna and Wyoming valleys. As executive director of the Eastern Pennsylvania Coalition for Abandoned Mine Reclamation, part of his job is studying the underground lakes and orange creeks left over from the anthracite coal era.
Last week, the state Department of Environmental Protection's Mine Subsidence Insurance Board issued the coalition a three-year grant of $321,968 to map the honeycombed voids beneath the anthracite region.
"If I was going to build a house anywhere in this area, I wouldn't only be concerned about whether or not there has been mining in there, I'd be concerned if there was water beneath your house," Hughes said. "You can get flooded basements; you can get subsidence in those areas where there is a mine pool beneath you."
Subsidence, or settling of the earth into voids below, is one of the lingering reminders of the long, often bloody, history of coal mining in Northeast Pennsylvania. For residents with long ties to the area, subsidences barely raise an eyebrow. Hundreds of these events occur every year.
Digitizing the thousands of maps will help the board and public see what lies beneath their homes or businesses, he said. More complete maps will be especially useful in the anthracite region, which has not been mapped thoroughly.
After the maps are finished, DEP will use them on its new Pennsylvania Mine Map Atlas, www.minemaps.psu.edu, which DEP spokeswoman Amanda Witman said went online in May. DEP launched the website after scanning and uploading 15,000 maps, a process that took 10 years.

New PC Opportunities Are Emerging
Updated December 8, 2003 -
Each of these opportunity segments will expand the PC market in the next decade. The Media PC has the largest potential because a large portion of household is a candidate for using a Media PC by 2010. Over the next year most PC makers will introduce products in this category and the success of this segment will spread from the USA to the industrialized countries in the next five years.
Dell and HP are currently the leading PC manufacturers and they will remain the top two vendors for many years. The next table shows historical PC sales and future projections of these two companies and the total PC market. Dell and HP sell nearly 3X more PCs than other vendors.
In the USA, Dell is the clear leader with PC sales nearly 50% higher than HP. Dell has nearly a 6X PC sales lead over third place IBM in the USA.
These are results from a new market research report by eTForecasts. The report explores the markets, technologies, product segments and opportunities for PCs including market estimates for six regions of the world from 1990 to 2008. eTForecasts publishes market research reports for the PC, PDA and Internet industries.

Fourth Live Event
1) Sherry vs Donna
2) Pam vs Lorraine
3) Lorraine vs Donna
4) Pam vs Sherry
5) Battle Royal
rate this movie:
Lorraine S
Donna S
Pam B
Two strong black girls are in action against two new girls, both slim and attractive.
1.Sherry vs Donna (14:53 mins)
Champion Sherry faces strong, big-busted and muscular Donna, who´s new. A tense match but will Sherry´s experience make up for the greater muscles on Donna?
2. Pam vs Lorraine (13:21 mins)
Pam is a svelte young blonde and Lorraine an attractive and slim black girl, both are new. This is faster paced but there´s plenty of spirited action. One girl has a slightly more skilled defence against her aggressor.
3. Lorraine vs Donna (9:34 mins)
Excellent match. Lorraine is smaller and faster than the muscular Donna. Donna has the strength advantage, which she uses well for pins and attempted pins, but as the underdog Lorraine gets pointers from the crowd for submissions. A very entertaining match.
4. Pam vs Sherry (8:50 mins)
Current Champ Sherry takes on smaller Pam who is outclassed so it's rather one-sided. But Pam is feisty and she does try.
5. Battle Royal (5:46 mins)
Donna vs Sherry vs Lorraine
A three way match to confirm who is the best at Festelle at the time. All three enter the mat and as they are submitted they leave. Bit of fun with them ganging up on each other at the start, but entertaining enough.
Another successful and well supported event with a spirited crowd cheering on their favourites.

I'm not a Wii programmer but I am a grad student focusing on operating systems. I can tell you that the difficulty of what you are asking could be very high depending on how the Wii currently handles input. Back on the game consoles old enough for me to understand how they work (about as far back as the first Playstation), events like controller input are routed directly to the game software without an intervening OS touching it at all sort of like how DOS used to handle things. If that hasn't changed, then there's just no good way for Nintendo to insert software code between the hardware event/interrupt and the game software that's in charge of handling it.Originally Posted by the$#!Za.
If the Wii acts like more of an OS in the desktop PC sense, then the Wii OS handles input and passes it on to the game program. The biggest advantage of doing things this way is that it works better in a multi-process environment. Given how the Wii doesn't spend much to any time running multiple programs at one time, I doubt they've invested in the overhead to implement such a system. Even if they did, it would roughly double the response time to add a translation layer that's transparent to the game program layer.
Either way, it's a LOT better idea for the game developers to handle the input mapping then it is getting Nintendo to handle it.

LABOUR will continue leading the coalition Executive after next May's elections but faces a municipal meltdown in the council polls held on the same day, a survey has found.
The prediction of a disaster for Labour in the council elections is based on the party's poor performance in local by-elections.
It no longer has overall control in former local authority strongholds like Fife and Aberdeen and could lose its majority in Edinburgh at the elections on 1 May.
According to the survey, carried out by the Press Association, a continued slippage in the party's vote between now and May could leave Labour with only a handful of authorities in which it has outright control.
Labour performed less well than expected at the 1999 elections, achieving a majority on 15 councils - less than half - of the 32 Scottish local authorities.
By-election losses or defections in Aberdeen, Inverclyde, Fife, Renfrewshire, South Ayrshire and West Dunbartonshire have reduced this to nine.
The latest analysis of 23 by-elections this year shows Labour's vote share dropping in each of the 12 seats it fought.
It lost four - two to Liberal Democrats in dramatic landslides at Aberdeen, and one each to the SNP and an independent in Fife.
Average vote share changes in five seats fought each time by all four major parties showed Labour's vote falling by 12.4 per cent ; the SNP, by 0.3 per cent, and the Tories, by 5.6 per cent.
In contrast, the Liberal Democrats - boosted by twin triumphs at Aberdeen - saw their vote soar by 16.5 per cent.
According to trends in further contests, Labour's majorities would disappear in East Ayrshire, Edinburgh and West Lothian, leaving the party in control of only six authorities.
The SNP, which would take four more councils in addition to the two it already has on a swing of less than 4 per cent, has an outside chance of matching Labour in the number of authorities controlled, the survey found.
The Tories would have a struggle to win any councils though the party has achieved notable by-election victories, gaining eight seats and losing none. Professor John Curtice, of the department of politics at Strathclyde University, agreed that Labour is likely to remain as the lead party in a coalition Executive after 1 May, 2003.
He said yesterday the prediction that Labour would be the largest party in the Scottish parliament was based on simple arithmetic and the effects of the current electoral system.
Prof Curtice said there was no doubt Labour had been losing seats "hand over fist" in local government by-elections.
However, he pointed out that these results may not necessarily lead to further setbacks for Labour next May, especially since the party did not perform particularly well in 1999.
Labour's campaign co-ordinator, Patricia Ferguson, said it was " wholly wrong" to base a prediction for next year's council elections on past by-election results. She insisted people would cast their votes on their local council's ability to deliver vital public services.
Nicola Sturgeon, the SNP election co-ordinator, claimed the Nationalists were best positioned to take advantage of "Labour's woes" and end its dominance of local government.
She said: "The analysis of the 65 council by-elections since May 1999 shows Labour has lost 16 seats and gained only one, with its share of the vote slumping by 9 per cent."
But the poll of polls also highlighted "a strong and consistent performance by the SNP across the country".

I.E. Don't type mary jones Type Mary Jones. If you find names in your tree that are spelt in all lower case letters, then you should correct these.
I have learned a lot from the Matches, but I also see what looks to be a propagation of the same error, over and over again. Wouldn't it be more helpful if there were some device to alert others that the Confirmation isn't confirming ALL their info?
Is there anything inherent in smart matching--besides due diligence on the part of the community--that keeps errors from propagating through trees? If I add a wholly fictitious person to my tree, will anything keep it from being copied and recopied and coming back to me as a "smart match"? In other words, should I treat smart matches as anything more than hints?
I have been getting notifications for new discoveries and then when I go do deal with them, I can either see one, and none of the others, or none.
The last notification I received claimed that I had 7 discoveries and 84 new ancestors and there was nothing.
I can't tell if I'm seeing old discoveries or if I'm not seeing actual new ones. Considering how many new people that I'm adding manually, I do wonder why I'm hardly getting any discoveries.
Is this a common problem?
With regards,
Tadeas Santarius
After a few emails were exchanged with Tech Support the problem was identified as a "Bug" and my issue was logged.
Today the problem expanded. I can no longer edit or add information to anyone in my tree. When I attempt to do so I get an "Error" message, advising me to "Try again later". This new development has lasted throughout the day.
I use MyHeritage online rather than FTB due to past data loss.
Can anyone advise if there is anything I can do to remedy or work-around these problems?
Any info appreciated...

Police searching for missing woman
Monroe Police are seeking assistance in the case of a missing 33-year-old woman, Christina L. Zier.
Zier, 5 feet, 4 inches, 140 pounds, with brown hair and green eyes, has not been seen or heard from since July 20. Since that time, she has missed a doctor's appointment and scheduled visits with her children. Missing appointments and not visiting her children are unusual for her.
Relatives went to her Monroe apartment on Currie Road Aug. 4 to check up on her and found that her pets had not been fed for at least a week. Nor had her voice mail been checked. Nothing in the house seemed out of place or unusual. Her medications, which she needs to take on a daily basis, were found in the apartment.
Zier's car, a red 1991 Daihatsu Charade (Washington plates 868-NOG), is also missing.
Operations Commander for the Monroe Police Department Rick Dunn said, "Friends and family have been interviewed. An exhaustive search hasn't turned up anyone (who has information about Zier's whereabouts). We're just trying to be cautious. We're hoping media coverage will help shed some light on the case."
Persons who may have had contact with Christina Zier are asked to contact Detective Tim Buzzell at (360) 794-6300 or (360) 863-4584.

The dog in the movie "performed", a live dog is the REAL world.

West Ashleys devastating loss was Cane Bays gain.
Dekeiya Cohen, the Lady Wildcats superstar and Baylor signee, is now out for the season with a knee injury and that has opened the door for the Lady Cobras to finish second in the region and host a playoff game. West Ashley is no longer the juggernaut it was.
If we take care of what we need to take care of weve got a chance to finish second, Cane Bay girls coach Ira Owens said. We played West Ashley to a one-point game last time and beat Wando If we do things were capable of, we can put ourselves in position to possibly finish second.
The Lady Cobras (5-11) lost to decisive favorite Goose Creek 60-37 on Friday, falling to 1-2 in Region 7-AAAA. They were set to end the first trip through the region against Stratford on Monday before hosting West Ashley in a crucial game on Friday.
With a win over the Lady Wildcats, Cane Bay will be in line to finish in at least a tie for second in the region.
In the loss to Goose Creek, Makayla Dudley led the Lady Cobras with 18 points while Shameque Robinson added six points.
On the season, Dudley averages team-highs in points (13.4), steals (3.9) and assists (2.7). Robinson averages 7.3 points and 7.1 rebounds.
Post players Lindsay Manning and Brett Pitcher average 8.8 rebounds and 5.6 rebounds respectively.

Customer Service » Screen Printing Tips and Tricks
Screen printing, also called silk screening, is a printing technique that's been in use for centuries. In earlier times, it was used primarily as a way to transfer designs onto various kinds of cloth. Today, though we still use it on fabric products like t-shirts and can coolers, we also can use screen printing to apply designs onto plastic pens, water bottles, and stress balls.
But why would any company, especially one as obviously sophisticated (and modest) as Quality Logo Products, use a process that some might consider old-fashioned? It turns out that screen printing not only is often one of the most inexpensive ways to customize a garment or other product; it's also a great way to produce an imprint that pops!
How It's Done
It all starts with your custom design. A negative of your design—a version that has the open areas of your original design filled in, and the filled-in areas left open—gets printed onto a screen. Traditionally, the screen was made from silk (hence the name "silk screening"), but today, industry-friendly materials that don't require the sacrifice of hundreds of silkworms, like polyester and nylon, are more often used for the screens instead.
With your design's inverse in place, the screen then is laid on top of the item being customized, and ink is spread across it. The ink seeps through only the parts of the screen left open, so your design comes out just as you imagined it. If you chose a second color for your imprint, the process will be repeated with a new screen as soon as the first batch of ink dries.
This is why we say that imprints seem to "pop" when screen printing is used: not because we're hell-bent on using language that captivates and demonstrates as all the writing guides suggest, but because the ink sits on top of the fabric or plastic instead of soaking into it. It really does stand out!
How Cost is Determined
As we mentioned before, screen printing is often the most affordable and budget-friendly imprint options. When our calculator monkeys sit down to figure out how much your custom imprint will cost you, they consider a number of factors:
Let's talk about this a bit more, shall we? If your design requires only one color, and you want it printed in only one location, you'll be charged a single set-up charge. Simple! Of course, as in any case, the more you add, the higher the costs go.
Each one color/one location combination you choose to customize on your apparel requires an additional set-up and print through. If you decide to have a second color in that same location (or any color in a regular location), you will incur a second set-up charge for the new screen.
Whew! And if that wasn't enough, there are additional services that, although worthwhile, will also add to screen printing costs, so keep these in mind:
So what can you do to take advantage of screen printing's low-cost nature and keep your order really affordable? Ordering in bulk helps. Screen printing presents a "The more you buy, the more you save!" scenario. Because a set-up fee is the same no matter how many custom shirts you're ordering, the more you print using the same screen, the lower the unit cost is for the entire order.
If you're near a price break or ordering shirts that can be stored for future promotions, consider a large order to save money in the long run. And to keep us in business, if it turns out you really like us.
Everything Else You Need to Know
It wouldn't be a "tips and tricks" page if we didn't bombard you with helpful tips to keep in mind. Here's all the other important stuff we think you should remember to get the most out of your screen-printed order:

It's because there's no one to play with online yet in America.
January 31, 2008
Well, Super Smash Bros. Brawl is now out in Japan and importers have already put their controllers down to blog about the game. Kotaku's Brian Ashcraft, who got his hands on an import copy of Brawl tonight, made a post about the anticipated fighter's online mode. Unfortunately, it seems his experience with Brawl online play hasn't been overwhelmingly positive.
See for yourself what he has to say:
"Back before Super Smash Bros. Brawl was released, footage of Nintendo Co., Ltd. in Kyoto and SSBB developer Sora in Tokyo playing each other online surfaced. The online aspect of the game looked very smooth with no lags whatsoever. I'm assuming it is smooth. Assume because I haven't been able to clock a single online brawl. Hello Xbox Live circa 2002."
Hopefully, things will be ironed out soon. After all, the game just launched in Japan today.

Yes, it's true. Election Day is over. No more political ads on TV, no more phone calls to annoy us. It's all over - finished.
Some of us are happy about the results while some are unhappy. Personally, I'm an old-fashioned conservative so obviously, I wish it would have gone the other way. But, as I said, and as we all know, it's over - it's history. So now it's time to move on.
I have some good friends who do not share all of my political views - I have a good family, some of whom do not share my views. It does not change my love and respect for any of them. Again, it's time to move on. We all live on the same planet - we all have different ways of seeing things. In spite of our different views on certain matters, we have to get along with one another.
It's not necessary to agree with each other, but it's necessary to do it in a more agreeable manner. Today, while viewing the "experts" on TV, the talk was about what should have been done, what should have not been done and what should now be done. As far as what the people in Washington should do, here is my suggestion. All Republicans should take off their Republican hat, all Democrats take off their Democrat hat, all liberals remove the liberal hat and all conservatives remove their concretive hat and then sit down and talk.
Yes, I know, they talk all the time - sometimes too much. But they should approach it a little different than they currently do. What they should do that is different is to forget about what is good for the party, what is good for them and what is good for their next election. Then talk about what's good for the country, what's good for our society, what's good for the world.
Next is the most important and usually the most over looked and it's this: While the other person is talking, they should listen - really listen. But being that it's the most important, it also seems to be the most difficult. We all know what happens when the other person is sharing his/her views. Instead of really listening, the other person is thinking about what his rebuttable will be. That's it - not really listening, but deep in thought about the rebuttal.
It happens all the time. It happens in politics, it happens in families, in business. Yes, it happens too often. In my opinion, that is what should be done next. If the people in Washington, our "public servants," could do that, I believe it would be a big improvement as far as fixing our problems is concerned.
Frank SanGregory,

When having political power is your goal, you will probably gain power. You might lack in principles, however. Likewise if having principles is your goal, you can achieve that. You just won't have any power. Depends on what you're interested in. Unfortunately only those with power get to make the decisions... and everybody has to live with them.

Bicyclist injured in collision with car on Erie's east side
A bicyclist was injured Tuesday when he was struck by a vehicle around 11:45 a.m. near the intersection of East Sixth and Ash streets.
According to witnesses, the cyclist was traveling south on Ash Street on a motorized bicycle when he collided with a gray Acura traveling west on East Sixth Street.
"He almost hit the (hanging) stoplight," said Tamika Clark, 36, who lives in a nearby residence and witnessed the crash from her living room window. "He went up that far."
The victim was transported by ambulance to UPMC Hamot, where he was being treated in the emergency room Tuesday afternoon. No other details were immediately available.

So it will be Ryan Newman that will drive the 4 car for Tony Stewart in 2009. Well, no surprise there as Ryan had been pretty much the driver Tony has been eyeing his fellow Hoosier for this ride during the past few months. So the announcement this morning at the Micihigan International Speedway pretty much confirmed it.
Of course they're just glad to be teaming up with each other. "It's just a great opportunity," Newman said. "I think a lot of Tony from a personal standpoint as well as a driving standpoint. Talking to Tony and his people, it seemed to be the best decision for the right reasons."
"The thing that impressed me the most about Ryan was he asked me all the right questions from day one," Stewart said. Sponsorship for Newman's car has yet to be determined at this moment, but those dominoes will fall soon enough.
