TRUCKEE, Calif. — The Fourth and Fourteenth Amendments prohibit unreasonable searches and seizures. If you are pulled over for a traffic stop, and the officer discovers there is an old warrant stemming from a decade-old minor criminal matter (which was cleared but the warrant inadvertently stayed on the statewide computer database), can you be arrested, held for six days and strip searched? The U.S. Supreme Court says YES.Outstanding WarrantIn 1998, Albert Florence was arrested in New Jersey for fleeing from peace officers. He entered a plea of guilty and was sentenced to pay a fine in monthly installments. He did so, but in 2003 fell behind in his payments and a bench warrant was issued for his arrest. Immediately afterwards he paid the outstanding balance of the fine, yet somehow the warrant remained in the New Jersey computer database.Two years go by. Albert Florence and his wife are stopped for a traffic violation and, based on the outstanding warrant, he is arrested. He stays in a detention center for six days, then is transferred to another facility and finally released — with apologies. That was after two humiliating full-body strip searches by the New Jersey jail authorities.DelousingNew Jersey requires every arrestee, before being placed in a general jail population, to shower with a delousing agent. Arrestees take off all of their clothes and are checked for scars, marks, gang tattoos, and contraband. They have their mouths (and other orifices) thoroughly inspected. Mr. Florence was required to lift his genitals, turn around, and cough in a squatting position. That brings back ugly memories of high school physical exams by nurse Whatshername: "Turn your head and cough while I lift." Fortunately she didn't seem too interested in my equipment. And she was not exactly a cheerleader-type.Unreasonable SearchMr. Florence sued claiming a violation of his Fourth and Fourteenth Amendment rights — arguing that people arrested for a minor offense should not be required to remove their clothing and be subject to close visual inspection as a routine part of the jail intake process. That kind of strip search may only be maintained if there is some reason to suspect a particular inmate of concealing a weapon, drugs or other contraband. That was the argument.Drugs, Weapons, ContrabandThe trial court ruled in favor of Mr. Florence; the Court of Appeal reversed, ruling for the jailers. The U.S. Supreme Court took the case on appeal. The Court discussed the need to protect against lice entering into jail facilities, and the importance of looking for wounds and injuries and other physical attributes manifesting a need for medical attention. Plus there is a need to look for tattoos and other signs of gang affiliation, so gang violence can be managed. And of course the obvious need to look for drugs and other contraband like knives, guns, scissors, razor blades, glass shards and in at least one case, a pen. And don't forget hairpins that can open handcuffs, wigs that conceal drugs and weapons, chewing gum that can be used to block locking devices, pills and medications that enhance suicide risk, plus the obvious: lighters, matches and cell phones. And in a jail, money and cigarettes, which can be used for any variety of reasons, are considered contraband. But should everyone that is arrested be subject to a strip search? In one case discussed by the Court, a woman who was arrested for not wearing her seatbelt was subject to a thorough search, not quite a strip search. That was upheld.In a 5-4 Supreme Court ruling, with Justice Kennedy (who else?) writing the majority opinion, the Court's conservative majority wrote, "County jail procedures struck a reasonable balance between inmate privacy and the needs of the institutions. "A case-by-case evaluation of the seriousness of particular crimes (would be) a difficult task for which officers and courts are poorly equipped."The strip search policy was upheld.DissentThe four liberal-leaning Justices' Dissenting Opinion was summarized in this paragraph: "In my view, such a search of an individual arrested for a minor offense that does not involve drugs or violence — say a traffic offense, a regulatory offense, an essentially civil matter, or any other such misdemeanor — is an "unreasonable search" forbidden by the Fourth Amendment, unless prison authorities have reasonable suspicion to believe that the individual possess drugs or other contraband." Free AdviceSo here is my advice. Don't get arrested. If somehow you can't accept that advice and you get arrested, take care of the matter, even if it is a very minor crime that may stay on the books and years later cause you to get arrested, thrown in jail and strip searched. Call that the Albert Florence Take Care of Old Business Rule.Jim Porter is an attorney with Porter Simon, with offices in Truckee and Reno.

Guitar Slim
Share This
No 1950s blues guitarist even came close to equaling the flamboyant
Guitar Slim
in the showmanship department. Armed with an estimated 350 feet of cord between his axe and his amp,
would confidently stride on-stage wearing a garishly hued suit of red, blue, or green, usually with his hair dyed to match! It's rare to find a blues guitarist hailing from Texas or Louisiana who doesn't cite
as one of his principal influences:
Buddy Guy
Earl King
Guitar Shorty
Albert Collins
Chick Willis
, and plenty more have enthusiastically testified to
's enduring sway.
Eddie Jones
in Mississippi,
didn't have long to make such an indelible impression. He turned up in New Orleans in 1950, influenced by the atomic guitar energy of
Gatemouth Brown
. But
's ringing, distorted guitar tone and gospel-enriched vocal style were his alone. He debuted on wax in 1951 with a mediocre session for Imperial that barely hinted at what would soon follow. A 1952 date for Bullet produced the impassioned "Feelin' Sad," later covered by
Ray Charles
(who would arrange and play piano on
's breakthrough hit the next year).
With the emergence of the stunning "The Things That I Used to Do" on
Art Rupe
's Specialty logo,
's star rocketed to blazing ascendancy nationwide. Combining a swampy ambience with a churchy arrangement, the New Orleans-cut track was a monster hit, pacing the R&B charts for an amazing 14 weeks in 1954. Strangely, although he waxed several stunning follow-ups for Specialty in the same tortured vein -- "The Story of My Life," "Something to Remember You By," "Sufferin' Mind" -- as well as the blistering rockers "Well I Done Got Over It," "Letter to My Girlfriend," and "Quicksand,"
never charted again.
The guitar wizard switched over to Atlantic Records in 1956. Gradually, his waxings became tamer, though "It Hurts to Love Someone" and "If I Should Lose You" summoned up the old fire. But
's lifestyle was as wild as his guitar work. Excessive drinking and life in the fast lane took its inevitable toll over the years, and he died in 1959 at age 32. Only in recent years has his monumental influence on the blues lexicon begun to be fully recognized and appreciated. Incidentally, one of his sons bills himself as
Guitar Slim, Jr
. around the New Orleans circuit, his repertoire heavily peppered with his dad's material.

Thanksgiving Conversation Fail (Almost)Seth Taylor
Me: Hey, Kid. I have this great idea for a Thanksgiving post on Babble.
Her: What?
Me: You tell me what you're thankful for this year, and I'll write it down, and then I'll post it, and everyone will read it and think it's adorable and write comments about how I'm the best dad ever to raise such a wonderful child.
Her: That sounds like it'll be boring.
Me: It won't be boring. It'll be poignant and sweet.
Her: I don't think so.
Me: No, this'll be great. Just think for a second about what you're thankful for this year. Just be honest. But be creative. And charming.
Her: I can't think of anything.
Me: What do you mean? You're not thankful for anything? I believe I raised you better than that.
Her: Of course I'm thankful for things. I'm thankful for a ton of things, but it's all boring stuff. No one would want to read about that.
Me: What do you mean, "boring?" What boring things are you thankful for?
Her: You know. I'm thankful for you, and Mommy, and Amma and Backa and Oma and Opa and Aunt Kris and Uncle Sam and Kate and Alexander and Cammy and Molly and Elina and food and iCarly and the Hunger Games and my bed and the Wii and electricity and maple cookies and Indiana Jones and our car. Boring.
Me: (Pause) That's not boring at all. Maybe we can just punch it up a little. You know, make it more quirky. Readers love quirky children.
Her: This is child exploitation.
Me: First of all, how do you know that term, and second, it's only exploitation if your name is Honey Boo Boo and I make a ton of money off you.
Her: Why don't you just write your own list?
Me: Because I'm not a cute 11-year-old with an impressive vocabulary and precociousness coming out her ears. Could you just cooperate with me this one time?
Her: (Huge sigh) Fine.
Me: Great. Ok. Remember, we're going for Humorously Heartfelt here.
Her: Ok, ok.
Me: Just tell me about what you're extra super thankful for more than anything else.
Her: I'm thankful for my family more than anything else.
Me: Good, that's good. Your grandparents will be glad to hear that. Now talk about why.
Her: But that's boring!
Me: Why?
Her: Everybody's thankful for their family, right? It's, like, automatic for everyone.
Me: Hmm. I'd like to think so. I don't know, though. Not everyone has a family to automatically love.
Her: Like orphans?
Me: Right. Or people who don't have loved one nearby for some reason or another.
Her: Like castaways?
Me: Sure.
Her: Well, I'm definitely thankful I'm not an orphan or a castaway.
Me: See? Now we're getting somewhere. Tell me about how you that your family is important to you.
Her: Because if zombies came and took over the world, I'd save my family first.
Me: I think that's a great barometer for thankfulness. What if the zombies came, and they were banging down the front door, and you had to choose between saving your family, or saving the Wii? Which would you choose?
Her: Daddy, that's THE lamest question in the universe.
Me: I'm just asking. It's hypothetical.
(Pause. Her brow furrows as a new thought seems to occur to her.)
Her: Daddy?
Me: Yes?
Her: Even though we're not eating together for Thanksgiving this year, I'm still thankful for you.
Me: I know you are. I'm thankful for you too, Doofus.
Her: You're the doofus. Don't write any of this down.
Me: I won't.

Rev. John Downey: Is difference division or diversity?
Many Christians have been hearing readings from the letter of Paul to the Romans at Sunday worship services during the summer months, one of the most significant New Testament writings.
Its message of God's grace through faith in Jesus has changed lives and launched movements of renewal. It also contains some difficult passages.
Chief among these are Chapters 9-11, where Paul agonizes over the emerging division between those Jews who recognized Jesus as the Messiah and those who did not. As a Jew, this separation was personal for Paul -- these were his own people, his family and friends.
As time went on and church and synagogue divided into two religions, Christianity gained political power, persecuting Jews and at least aiding and abetting the pervasive anti-Semitism of Western culture.
Must difference lead to division? When difference has led to division, can it be converted to diversity, a welcome diversity that enriches? These questions lie deep at the heart of today's challenges, both within American society and in the world. The divisions we struggle with today are stirred up by many factors, including religious differences.
Religious convictions cannot be soft-pedaled into mere differences of opinion. They are, after all, about the great questions of life and its meaning. However, after centuries of division and conflict, perhaps we can hold them with a strong dose of humility, open to the possibility that there is much we do not understand, that there is always more to learn, and that we might even be wrong sometimes.
While I am not able to simply accept every point Paul makes in Romans 9-11, I can appreciate that he is struggling with something baffling and painful. He could not have known what the future held and how it has led to a time when the urgent need is for people of faith to speak and listen with a paradoxical combination of conviction and humility.
However, he approached that need when he wrote, "O the depth of the riches and the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments and how inscrutable his ways!" (Romans 11:33).
Reflections is a column by religious leaders in the region. The Very Rev. John P. Downey is dean of the Episcopal Cathedral of St. Paul, 134 W. Seventh St.

PANHANDLE - The wooden contraption does not look like much - a few boards hinged together with metal thingamabobs sticking out along its sides.
But in the hands of Jonathan Edwards of Panhandle, it transforms. Swing this metal thingamabob here. Stick that there. Fold it this way, and voila! You have steps.
But wait. The 12-year-old inventor shows the true purpose behind his invention: the ability to collapse those steps and turn it into a stiff, flat board - a ramp for pushing wheelchairs or moving heavy objects, as his vision sees it.
"Your grandmother could come over and could fall back and hurt herself going up stairs,'' he said Thursday. "This way you can just push her up and not hurt anyone.''
For his invention, which he calls a Step Ramp, Edwards was named a national finalist in the sixth-through-eighth grade category of the Craftsman/National Science Teachers Association Young Inventors Awards Program.
He received a $5,000 U.S. savings bond and the opportunity to go to the national awards ceremony in Chicago with 11 other national finalists in Chicago in September, where he could win another $5,000 savings bond if he is named as one of two top national finalists.
He also could meet Bob Vila, a television home-improvement personality and the awards program spokesman.
The project came after a last-minute hustle to get the assignment done in time, said Annette Bonner, Edwards' guardian. Edwards worked with Bonner's husband, Joey Bonner.
"He's a pretty special kid,'' she said. "We love him to death. They (Joey Bonner and Edwards) went in the garage that night and put it all together.''
"We were just messing around,'' Edwards said.
Bob Burke, general manager at Sears at Westgate Mall in Amarillo, presented Edwards with his award Thursday at the school. He picked up a T-shirt, a certificate, a Craftsman baseball cap, a banner to hang in his school and a $100 gift certificate from Sears.
The crowd went crazy, filling the junior high gym with cheers.
His science teacher, Kevin Meyer, said he was proud of his young student.
"We were jumping up and down in the hall when we found out,'' he said. "He's had some bumps in his school career. This could go a long way to motivate him.''

CHICAGO – The Coyotes have been waiting for the type of game that reaches their potential, and it doesn't come close to resembling their recent results.
"Regulation 10-0 win," coach Dave Tippett said.
That might be a little far-fetched, especially Thursday night against the defending Stanley Cup champion Blackhawks in Chicago.
"Nah, I don't know," Tippett said. "It's a game of mistakes, but you just want to see your team play a solid game. To me, it's a solid, disciplined game where everybody's contributing, and that's both sides of the puck – not just defensively (but) offensively."
After racking up seven wins in their past eight games and nine in their past 11, the Coyotes can comfortably nit-pick their performance.
They want to improve their play, but they aren't mad about the victories. And that's an unusual crossroads to be stuck at, frustrated with the process but appreciative of the outcome.
"It's nice that we're talking about this when we're winning than we're on the other end of the spectrum and we're finding ways to lose games," goalie Mike Smith said. "But I think we're never going to complain about winning hockey games. But we just talk about if we want to be in the upper-class of teams in this league, we're going to have to improve on some things."
Their stagnant style with the lead is one of them.
The Coyotes clung to a one-goal lead Tuesday in St. Louis before the waves of pressure from the Blues finally forced a tie. They pocketed two points with a 3-2 overtime win because of Smith's 37 saves and a timely game-winning goal from defenseman Oliver Ekman-Larsson.
"We didn't get enough players playing at the speed of the game that needed to play," Tippett said. "That's just executing plays under pressure. That's winning a battle to create an opportunity."
The Coyotes insist they can revert to their old ways to be successful. Their recent methods – blown leads, third-period comebacks and overtime thrillers – don't have as much staying power as strong defending, top-tier goaltending and opportunistic scoring.
"We recognize what our strengths are, and we also recognize new things we're capable of doing," captain Shane Doan said. "But at the same time, in order for us to win long-term, we have to do it the way it's worked for us in the past."
But maybe keeping a few tricks in their repertoire isn't a bad thing. These wacky wins have looked so odd because previously, the Coyotes could win with only one approach. Now, with the addition of a playmaker such as Mike Ribeiro, an effective power play and an air confidence, the Coyotes are winning in different ways.
"That's what needs to happen for you to be a good team," Smith said. "… There are times when you need to come back in games, or you're ahead and lose the lead and you're still in the game. You find ways to win those games, too. We have this year where in the past it's kinda like we're down a couple goals going into the third period the game's pretty well over."
The Coyotes still have plenty of time to find a happy medium. They hope they can continue the search while still piling up the wins.
"That's the exciting thing about it," Smith said. "We know we're capable of much more."

The Boston Celtics made 60 percent of their shots and had three players score in double figures to take a 65-55 halftime lead. Hornets MVP candidate Chris Paul played only seven minutes after getting into early foul trouble and scored seven points.
At the midway point in the second quarter, the Hornets cut the Celtics' lead to 45-43. Then, the Celtics went on a 15-2 run to take a 60-45 lead. During the run, Kevin Garnett made consecutive mid-range jumpers under pressure. Paul Pierce led the Celtics with 16 points and Ray Allen and Rajon Rondo each had 13.
Hornets forward Bonzi Wells came off the bench and scored 10 points, which matched David West for the team lead.

Edugyan Wins Giller
Congratulations to Esi Edugyan, winner of this year's Scotiabank Giller Prize! Edugyan's win was announced at last night's Giller gala. Half-Blood Blues, set amidst the jazz scene in Europe before and after the Second World War, has been greatly praised since its release and the Giller jury added to this acclaim, remarking "It's conventional to liken the prose in novels about jazz to the music itself, as though there could be no higher praise. In this case, say rather that any jazz musician would be happy to play the way Edugyan writes." The book was also nominated for the Man Booker Prize, the Governor General's Literary Award for Fiction (English) and the Rogers Writers Trust Fiction Prize, recently won by Patrick deWitt.
Edugyan was a favourite of many bloggers and critics, along with Michael Ondaatje, nominated for this year's The Cat's Table. Ondaatje won the Giller in 2000 for Anil's Ghost (along with David Adams Richards' Mercy Among the Children). But the other nominees were extremely accomplished as well: deWitt's The Sisters Brothers, David Bezmozgis' The Free World, Lynn Coady's The Antagonist and Zsuzsi Gartner's Better Living Through Plastic Explosives rounded out a shortlist widely acknowledged as one of the strongest in years.

Ramliana was invited to speak in front of the gathering delegates. In his speech Dr P.L. Ramliana said,"Teachers are the builders of the nation by giving education to millions of youth of the country. We also want to let the Government know that we teahers do not merely give degrees to students, but build their character and shaped their destiny.It is therefore extremely important that the demands of the teachers be implemented by the government. We the MCTA totally support the demands of the AIFUCTO". As a token of the MCTA's support to the AIFUCTO Dr P.L.Ramliana handed over Rupees fifty thousand as 'Struggle Fund' to the AIFUCTO leaders. The AIFUCTO President, Prof.Kesab Bhattacharya, who presided over the protest meeting (Dharna) expressed his appreciation and thanked the Mizoram College Teachers' Association for lending such support.

The Minister assured the delegation that the government will look into their demands at the earliest.
Later in the evening, a delegation of AIFUCTO & FEDCUTA leaders met the Hon'ble Minister, HRD, Smt. Smriti Zubin Irani and submitted a memorandum to her. She apprised the delegation about the steps taken by the Ministry on the setting up of the UGC Pay Review Committee and other demands of the AIFUCTO. The Minister assured positive action on these issues raised by teachers' representatives.
The next day (15th March) NEC meeting was held and AIFUCTO leadership called upon the teachers not be restive only on the assurances of the Government. The AIFUCTO leaders advise members to take a 'wait & watch' policy and decided to evaluate the situation in the next NEC which is expected to be held in June 2016.

Comments Thread For: Price Would Face Fury or Chisora For Lonsdale Belt
DAVID PRICE is worried that he may be unable to win a Lonsdale belt outright because there is a lack of serious domestic rivals.
The 6ft 8in Liverpool puncher won the British heavyweight title last year by defeating Sam Sexton, and made quick fire defences against Audley Harrison and Matt Skelton.
He needs one more notch to own a Lonsdale belt outright, but there are currently no suitable active contenders.
Price (15-0) is now boxing at world class and meets American double world title challenger Tony Thompson (36-3) in a 12 rounder at Liverpools Echo Arena on Saturday 23rd February.

He should perhaps fight Chisora after Thompson, and then move on to some ranked heavyweights.
Price is #14 in the new WBO HW rankings I see.
I just hope he fights often in 2013. Price turned pro around the same time as several heavyweights like Wilder and Pulev who've had more fights.

Price is a very good prospect and I am following his career closely but he is promoted by a buffoon who does not keep him active enough what the hell did learn against Audley that he can punch - we all know that and Maloney keeps talking about throwing him now with a Klitschko he is young and learning it is too early to face him against Champions who have had so much experience he needs to be active a guided perhaps on the lines of Thompson (who his fighting next he will win but this guy will not offer much resistance but this is already sealed not much we cn do about that) after that fight Chisora who will give him a few rounds if not take him all the way and he will learn more in that fight than he has learnt in the whole of 2012 and he will have his Lonsdale belt) then maybe against someone like Chazz Witherspoon in the states to raise his profile over there after that someone like Shane Cameron and rais his profile in Australasia then Chris Arreola a good stern test and then Helinius some one big like a Klitschko and then he will have 20 or so fights witha lot of experience and then maybe then if comes through these opponents with good performances he can face a Klitschko but if you throw this Kid in to early you could Destroy his legacy before he starts these are a few options - anyone ELse got an opinion on this feel free to share this with me.

He can't fight Fury - Fury is busy defending the coveted Irish heavyweight belt.

The crop of young heavies coming up are good lads but Price has much more natural ability. He can throw himself in the mix and maybe have a bad night and lose a year....if you follow me, or....he can move ahead of the group and lead by having a good outing against a Klitschko.

Hard not to agree with Billeau2.......
..........Price is in a funny place right now, he's cleaned-out the domestic locker and the Harrison and Skelton fights really looked a bit like treading water evenings. He won them at a canter.
The only other decent domestic-level fights out there are actually world-title eliminator class match-ups with Fury, Chisora and Haye.
David either needs to decide to push on quickly and have a crack at the K Brothers or spend a bit more time with some risky fights with Chisora, Fury, Helenius and Chris A.
My tuppence on the whole Fury v Price fight is that it does not happen until one of them has a world belt and they can cash-in properly on their rivalry with a mega fight at Anfield or Old Trafford.
Would not be too surprised to hear that some sort of unofficial gents agreement exists between these two and that all the current 'handbags and hype' is just designed to make sure the Big One lands a motherload of cash.

fury or chisora would be good but fury has bigger fish to fry with his current ranking so fighting price makes no sense for fury. chisora would be a good fight. chisora has a good chin & is much better suited to fight bigger men.he pushed both helenius & vitali around during their fights & held his ground in the trenches. price is big & has a big time power but can he take a punch? can he get off the canvas if he gets dropped? how does he handle being cut? can he go 10 or 12 rounds without becoming fatigued? none of these questions have been answered yet. harrison was the first step, thompson will be next & i really think he should try & secure the chisora fight.

Language distributionSwitzerland has four unevenly distributed languages and a wealth of dialects.
German (63.5 %)
German is by far the most widely spoken language in Switzerland: 19 of the country's 26 cantons are predominantly (Swiss) German-speaking.
French (22.5 %)
French is spoken in the western part of the country, the "Suisse Romande." Four cantons are French-speaking: Geneva, Jura, Neuchâtel and Vaud. Three cantons are bilingual: in Bern, Fribourg and Valais both French and German are spoken.
Italian (8.1 %)
Italian is spoken in Ticino and four southern valleys of Canton Graubünden.
Rhaeto-Rumantsch (0.5 %)
Rumantsch is spoken in the only trilingual canton, Graubünden. The other two languages spoken there are German and Italian. Rumantsch, like Italian and French, is a language with Latin roots. It is spoken by just 0.5% of the total Swiss population.
Other languages (6.6 %)
The many foreigners resident in Switzerland have brought with them their own languages, which taken as a whole now outnumber both Rumantsch and Italian. The 2000 census showed that speakers of Serbian/Croatian were the largest foreign language group, with 1.4% of the population. English was the main language for 1%.

Out of the tech companies, Apple, with its current $33.5 billion in brand value, is preceded by IBM, Microsoft, Google and Intel, but it has moved before an industry behemoth like HP...

Egg McMuffins are delicious...
32. hepresearch (unregistered)
Oh, I know... I feasted upon the Egg McMuffins in my youth, and now, as a result of my lack of self-control many years ago, I am suffering through an Egg McMuffin famine for the remainder of my life. They taste so good, but they will kill you. Death by food...
I can't really think of a way to transfer that thought to the iPhone... oh well. Oh, well, maybe I do... I exercised self control for many years and avoided the iPhone like the plague... so maybe I will be the last person to adopt the iPhone when there is nothing else left to choose from, and I will be the last person that Siri turns against...
"Siri, open the pod-bay doors!"
"Sorry, hepresearch. I can not do that..."
Alright, I am not making sense any more. I've been checked for cancer in all sorts of places these last six months, so maybe it is finally time to check for tumors in my brain...

yes, because the most important thing as a consumer is KNOWING that you are paying more than the item is worth to make a billionaire.. richer.
you sure are a smart one gallito. :)
18. gallitoking (Posts: 4718; Member since: 17 May 2011)
I pay for what is worth.. if I dont like what I buy.. I can sell it and not lose money.. so in reality I dont lose... unlike you that have to keep that android phone for 2 long years.. for not being smart.. I think I do pretty good...
20. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
are YOU STILL using that stupid and WRONG iphone value crap? dude, i busted you on that not 2 days ago. GO LOOK ON EBAY. The nearly year old galaxyS2 has a higher resale value than both the i4 and the new i4S. get a clue.
and you also still comparing carrier subsidized 2 year pricing with non subsidized pricing. your not making any money and ur sure as heck not breaking even. You PAY for that phone in the length of the contract + extra. Why do you think there is such a discrepancy between prepaid and contract? Its not just the extra services you get with contract, because honestly its not that much more.. its the cost of the subsidized phone buried into the contract. It generally takes about 20 months to pay back the subsidy and the carrier pockets the last 4 months.. so you are paying for that phone + interest... if you keep it or not
And if your dumb enough to buy an iphone on contract and then sell it on the side markets and buy something else, you are paying for that iphone + a new phone.. you are LOSING money.
The longer you hold that iphone the dumber you seem to get. I remember you at least making some sort of sense at one point.

how you ever eaten a hot dog at a stadiummm expensive.. huh... do you think is worth what they charge?... so your argument about me overpaying for a product.. unless you are not a consumer... you over paid for stuff... next...
21. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
no, its absolutely NOT worth what they charge. but do u know why they can charge it? because they shut out all competition. only stadium approved brands at stadium approved pricing is allowed there. Sound familiar? That is the EXACT REASON why Apple tries to sue competitors out of existence instead of making licencing deals like everyone else in the industry. The more competition that surrounds them, the more value orientated they must become or they will suffer. And they have suffered. While they maintain huge industry profits, their market position in the world has barely changed in over a year and is on the verge of its first shrink if WP7 takes off. WP7 is going to cut more from apple users who want an easy to use smartphone, more than android users. Most of apple's sales are to existing customers with only a small % coming from new customers... so if they lose those upgrades to people trying new OS's, they are in serious trouble.
22. gallitoking (Posts: 4718; Member since: 17 May 2011)
so you never overpaid for anything?.. wow.. I gues your Sonata was paid cash right?... you went into detail on the hotdogs at the stadium.. the thing is that they are overpriced and thousands of people buy them.. gas prices... we all paid for overpriced stuff.. so dont understand your original comment for me overpaying for a phone... get the geek out of you so we can debate nicely....
24. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
my sonata was haggled down from 19500 to 12,000 3 weeks after the model launched for the year (and consequently 3 weeks of haggling) with all the options i wanted and with 5 miles on the car (3 from my test drive). Its also being paid of a year early to save on interest payments which were low because I keep my credit nice and pretty. The car before that was a 2 year old Xterra that I haggled down to 13000 with only 35k miles on it and..again.. every option i wanted. Saved about 8000 off of what they wanted for it.
No, I rarely buy something when its brand new unless its a great buy to begin with. I find what i want and wait for the inevitable sale. Why would I want to over pay if i dont have to? It doesnt help me, and thats where my caring ends. I dont understand why you cheer on a company for insane profit margins, when all it really means is they are gouging you for more than the item is worth and you are just smiling as they do it.

yea, you linked me to a page of $0.01 items.. good job.
We just had this conversation 2 days ago, and i linked you every phone, the i4, the i4s, and the SGS2. The most expensive average price was on the SGS2. not my fault u cant read.
34. gallitoking (Posts: 4718; Member since: 17 May 2011)
if you see 0.1 cents phones then is your android phone... because my laptop shows the SGSII at 380.00 but anyhow is not a secret that android phones dont sale well.. and you can bring unknown links... all you want... dude.. bottom line is that why paid for an overpriced Android when a new one pops out in a week... when it comes to buying you are a fool... just because the tags says retail price is 36.00 and you paid 7.00 doent mean you beat the system... well luck buying you gallon of milk at walmart..
38. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)

now, unless they changed the rules of math, i'd say that the galaxy nexus has the highest resale value. And just for giggles, the sgs2 and the i4s 16gig have the same full retail new and on contract pricing. Also the SGS2 was released 6 months or more before the i4s, which means not only is it worth more, its holding its value longer.
42. gallitoking (Posts: 4718; Member since: 17 May 2011)
wow... not only the galaxy international is from Hong kong.. not in the US and the iphone is from Oklahloma...dude please keep it in the US... and you will be wrong.. but anyhow believe what you want.....my brother makes money on the iphone every year.... take for what is worth.... of course you went with the SGSII but the Galaxy is not Android.. is part of Android.... ok check on Ebay the LG phones.. the Motorola... as well... dont play me for a fool... Samsung is just not Android,,,
45. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
i use the i9100 because its the OLDEST version of the SGS2 and the true SGS2. No, i will not use an american SGS2 with snapdragon bullcrap in it, just to make you happy. if its not exynos, its not an SGS2. And btw, the AMERICAN ATT SGS2 is the same price. you still have NO ARGUMENT.
OK, tell me how.. in your little mind, and SGS2 is not android? its the highest selling android phone on the market. you want me to go to lesser phones to playcate your dumb pointless point. Nope. King of androids vs king of iOS. You LOSE.
48. gallitoking (Posts: 4718; Member since: 17 May 2011)
ok so the SGSII on T-Mo is not a SGSII... I was fooled... I lose.. what did I lose.. my car is still outside.. food in my fridge... and money in my pocket... calm down.. remix.. Android is sucking the fun out of you... or could be your network (T-Mo)...

Giardia infectionGiardia; G. duodenalis;G. intestinalis; Traveler's diarrhea - giardiasis
Giardiasis is an infection of the small intestine caused by a tiny parasite (protozoa) called Giardia lamblia.
The parasite lives in soil, food, and water. It may also be found on surfaces that have come into contact with animal or human waste.
You may become infected if you:
- Are exposed to a family member with giardiasis
- Drink water from lakes or streams where animals such as beavers and muskrats, or domestic animals such as sheep, have left their waste
- Eat raw or undercooked food that has been contaminated with the parasite
- Have direct person-to-person contact in day care centers, long-term care homes, or nursing homes with people who are infected with the parasite
- Have unprotected anal sex
Travelers are at risk for giardiasis throughout the world. Campers and hikers are at risk if they drink untreated water from streams and lakes.
The time between becoming infected and symptoms is 7 to 14 days.
Diarrhea is the main symptom. Other symptoms include:
- Gas or bloating
- Headache
- Loss of appetite
- Low-grade fever
- Nausea
- Weight loss and loss of body fluids
Some people who have had a giardia infection for a long time continue having symptoms, even after the infection is gone.
Exams and Tests
Tests that may be done include:
- Stool antigen test to check for Giardia
- Stool ova and parasites exam
- String test (rarely performed)
If there are no symptoms or only mild symptoms, no treatment may be needed. Some infections go away on their own within a few weeks.
Medicines may be used for:
- Severe symptoms or symptoms that do not go away
- People who work in a day care center or nursing home, so that they do not spread the disease
Treatment is successful for most people. A change in antibiotic therapy will be tried if symptoms do not go away. Side effects from some of the medications used to treat this condition include:
- Metallic taste in the mouth
- Nausea
- Severe reaction to alcohol
In most pregnant women, treatment should not start until after delivery. Some drugs used to treat the infection can be harmful to the unborn baby.
Possible Complications
- Dehydration (when your body does not have as much water and fluids as it should have
- Malabsorption (inadequate absorption of nutrients from the intestinal tract)
- Weight loss
When to Contact a Medical Professional
Call your health care provider if:
- Diarrhea or other symptoms last for more than 14 days
- You have blood in the stool
- You are dehydrated
Purify all stream, pond, river, lake, or well water before drinking it. Use methods such as boiling, filtration, or iodine treatment.
Workers in day care centers or institutions should use good handwashing and hygiene techniques when going from child to child or patient to patient.

Hoboken has gotten a bit more bike-friendly today … at least for city employees.
As part of the 2010 Bike-to-Work Week events and Mayor Dawn Zimmer administration's continued commitment to making the city of Hoboken more bicycle-friendly, it was announced today that municipal employees may park their bikes inside of City Hall.
"Lack of secure parking is one of the leading deterrents to potential bicycle commuters," said Mayor Zimmer. "This is just one part of our comprehensive plan to make Hoboken the most bike-friendly city in New Jersey."
Mayor Zimmer extended the challenge to other employers in the City.
"I challenge all businesses in Hoboken to allow indoor bike parking for their employees," added Zimmer. "Everyone in the community benefits from healthier employees, less traffic, and less pollution."
Businesses who already have - or want to institute - a Bike Friendly policy are urged to contact the City's Department of Transportation and Parking, at firstname.lastname@example.com, in order to be added to a "Bike Friendly Business" list to be featured on the City's website, www.hobokennj.org.
As a side note ... it was also announced today by the League of American Bicyclists, the state of New Jersey has been listed as the eighth most bike friendly state, which seems hard to believe!

With their sparkling "stained glass" centers, these cookies are beautiful served alongside another dessert, or with a cup of hot apple cider on Christmas Eve. I find baking them on a silicone baking sheet is the best way to keep them intact, but parchment paper will work as well.
Amanda Haas is a cookbook writer, recipe developer, and founder of the website One Family One Meal.
When these cookies are hung from a Christmas tree, light shines through the colorful candy centers, creating a beautiful stained-glass effect. Your kids will be so proud of their creations!"
*Gluten-free flour works really well in this recipe. The cookies are still buttery and flaky. If you choose to use the gluten-free flour, simply lower your oven temperature by 25 degrees and check for doneness a minute or two early.
Whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt in a bowl.
In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the butter, powdered sugar, vanilla extract and citrus zest. Beat until smooth, stopping to scrape down the sides if necessary. Add the flour mixture and beat on low speed until the dough becomes smooth.
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. (A higher temperature will burn the cookies.)
Line two baking sheets with silicone mats or parchment paper.
Roll the dough 1/4" thick on a lightly floured surface, then cut out large stars. Arrange the stars about 2 inches apart on the cookie sheets, then use the smaller star cookie cutter or a knife to cut an opening in the center of each cookie. Place one piece of hard candy in the opening of each star. (Note: The candies may need to be cut in half, depending on the size of your cookies.) If you're planning to hang your cookies from a tree, use a drinking straw to punch a hole in the top of each cookie.
Bake until the candies are melted and the cookies are barely golden, about 8-10 minutes or 6-9 minutes for gluten-free. Allow the cookies to cool and the candies to harden before removing them from the baking sheets. Cool completely before eating.
Note: The centers will have the same firmness as hard candy when the cookies have cooled. Please use your best judgment as far as hard-candy precautions when offering them to children.
Recipe adapted by Amanda Haas from Donata Maggipinto's Christmas Family Gatherings

Volunteer American lawyers & healthworkers needed in China
28 July 2004
Minnesota: Global Volunteers, a volunteer-sending organization, invites US lawyers to volunteer and participate in its groundbreaking "American Lawyers in China" programme from 9 to 23 October 2004.
Lawyers will be tasked to conduct seminars on American legal issues such as business and criminal laws, arbitration and mediation and international contracts. They will also teach conversational English and legal terminology to law students.
The organization is also searching for healthcare professionals, under its "Medical professionals in China", to deliver and participate in seminars on medical issues and teach English medical terms to Chinese doctors and nurses. The assignment starts on 23 October and runs until 6 November 2004.
Both programmes will be undertaken in Xi'an, Shaanxi province, some 1,500 kilometres southwest of the capital Beijing.
"This experience promises to be a meaningful and engaging cultural exchange. Now, more than ever before, it is important for individual Americans to reach out and work with our neighbours around the world -- person-to-person -- to promote justice, tolerance and understanding," said Burnham "Bud" Philbrook, attorney and president of Global Volunteers.
The service programme fee of $2,595 covers all meals, lodging, transfers to hotel, project expenses and the services of a team leader. Airfare is not included. All project-related costs, including airfare, are tax-deductible for U.S. taxpayers.
Spouses, significant others, teenage and adult children may also participate by teaching conversational English at one of the many Xi'an schools, from elementary to university level, where Global Volunteers has established volunteer programmes since 1995.
Xi'an, a bustling city of seven million people, is one of China's oldest cities and served as the capital of 13 dynasties and is the origin of the legendary Silk Road.

Goodness me Silvergirl you really have had quite a bad run with it all. I couldn't imagine having allergies to all of those foods as I eat them regularly and amidst everything else I'm intolerant to I don't think I'd be left with much else to eat! I have the standard gluten issues as well as having to try and avoid most starches as it aggrivates my inflammatory arthritis. I am hesitant to ever give up dairy as I love it sooo much! I had considered doing the Whole 30 but I think for those of us that have underlying health issues it might be too much too soon for our systems to be able to deal with so I have approached it in a slower more gradual way by slowly decreasing bad foods while introducing the new good foods. My main aim now is to try and heal my gut. I really believe that if it does fully heal I will have less intolerances and digestive issues with all types of foods (well that's the plan anyway!).
I am going to be getting myself some Primal Defense Ultra Probiotics as I have read these are one of the best but as I live in Australia I will have to pay top $$ for them as they are imported from the US. I am also going to buy a kefir starter kit and some raw milk to start making my own kefir, as well as purchasing some Kombucha tea (I have read that these 2 things are ridiculously high in live probiotics and are extremely helpful in repairing the gut). I will also be loading myself up with coconut oil in case there are other nasties in there that shouldn't be :-)
It can be so debilitating having digestive issues at it affects your whole life in every possible way. I wish you the very best of luck with your new treatment and I hope you are able to get some relief soon.

First US printing. Goldman was born in France in 1944, near the end of World War II, of politically-radical parents who were active in the French underground. However, when his mother was expelled to Poland, the boy became a displaced person and petty criminal. At 25 he was arrested for a double-murder he did not commit but was convicted; he wrote his autobiography in prison, and the book created a sensation in France, where it was known as 'the Goldman Affair' and it won a retrial which exonerated him of the murder charges, although he still had to serve time for armed robbery. More than just an account of a miscarriage of justice, this is a picture of the contradictions of justice. Translated by Joan Pinkham. 230 pp. Very near fine in a like dustjacket (remainder line.) .ISBN # 0-670-272736

How can you confirm that? just call?
Calling might work. You could also look for their ad that says they'll have wii in stock 12/16, which is where I got the info from, hopefully it's not just a local chicago thing.

Best bet for getting a Wii from a store? Befriend a store clerk. They'll tell you when they get the console in. The rest is up to you being there when it arrives. That's how my friend got his Wii. However if you blindly harass them expect the cold shoulder.

The University of Texas-Pan American is among 10 Hispanic-Serving Institutions across the United States recently awarded funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to help revitalize neighborhoods, promote affordable housing and stimulate economic development in their communities.
UTPA will receive $599,990 of the $6 million in awards that were announced by HUD Secretary Steve Preston on Sept. 9. The funds, provided through HUD's Hispanic-Serving Institutions Assisting Communities (HSIAC) Program, will go toward a three-year Mobile Community Development Initiative to provide information, resources and training on a variety of community needs to the residents of the Rio Grande Valley's Delta Region.
Utilizing UTPA faculty, staff, graduate students and a mobile unit, the project will provide Delta Region residents microenterprise training; youth financial literacy education; fair housing lending program education; diabetes, obesity and nutrition education; and job resources education - all areas identified through research as the most pressing needs of the that region, which encompasses the communities of Elsa, Edcouch, La Villa, and Monte Alto.
"Hispanic-Serving Institutions not only play a vital role as places of higher learning, they can be powerful instruments of community development," Preston said. "I am proud of the partnership HUD has with these colleges and universities so that, together, we can help revitalize neighborhoods, offer needed public services and stimulate community development around their campuses."
A key component of the project - a 38-foot, air-conditioned, fifth-wheel mobile unit, equipped with seating and laptop computers with Internet access for up to 15 persons - will be driven to low income neighborhoods in the Delta Region. Staffed by a trainer and community development specialists, the unit will provide convenient access for residents to information, resources and training that will stabilize and contribute to sustainable development of the region's communities. Information and training will also be provided through an office at the Delta Region Revitalization Corporation's Mercado Delta, a public/farmers market to be opened in Edcouch in November 2008.
"Because many Delta Region residents do not have affordable access to transportation, there is a need to take the information, resources, and training out to residents in these communities," said Michael Uhrbrock, associate director of economic development at UTPA's Office of Center Operations and Community Service, who will direct the project.
The project will also involve participation by UTPA's Department of Social Work faculty and graduate students. Nine students from the department's master's degree program will serve as community development specialists. Dr. Hector Díaz, social work department chair, will serve as the project evaluator and Dr. Sharon Pittman, social work professor, will serve as the graduate student adviser.
"The Department of Social Work is pleased to be part of this community project that will give our graduate students an opportunity to get out and practice what they are learning in the classroom and gain some valuable real world experience," Díaz said.
UTPA and its business development division will work closely with its partners which include The Delta Region Revitalization Corporation, ACCION Texas, and the Texas/Mexico Border Coalition, to coordinate services in the project's target area.
For an institution to qualify as a Hispanic-Serving Institution, at least 25 percent of the undergraduate student enrollment must be Hispanic. HUD's HSIAC program is designed to help these institutions address pressing community development needs in the communities they serve. For more information about the local project, contact Uhrbrock at 956/316-7185 or via e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com.

2K Sports today announced that the Oklahoma City Thunders Kevin Durant, Los Angeles Clippers Blake Griffin and Chicago Bulls Derrick Rose will all be on the cover of the forthcoming NBA 2K13.
Rose, Durant, and Griffin have all taken the NBA by storm, with all three being past winners of the NBA Rookie of the Year accolade; the trio have earned eight All-Star berths, three scoring titles and one Most Valuable Player award between them.Being crowned as one of the NBA 2K13 cover athletes is a huge honor and something I always dreamt about , said Durant, who won his third straight scoring title and led the Thunder franchise to their first NBA Finals appearance since 1996. Its definitely humbling to grace the cover after the likes of Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, and Larry Bird.
Theres so much young talent around the NBA, so its very exciting to be chosen for NBA 2Ks New Dynasty alongside Kevin and Derrick, added Griffin, who helped lead the Clippers to their first postseason since 2006. The NBA 2K series has always been my first choice when I want to get a game in.
Its a dream come true to be one of the cover athletes for NBA 2K13, commented Rose, the 2010-11 NBA Most Valuable Player, who led the Bulls to a league-best 50-16 record this season. Ive worked closely with 2K Sports since NBA 2K10, and Im honored to follow in the footsteps of Michael Jordan as the latest Chicago Bull to be featured on the cover.
NBA 2K13 is being developed by Visual Concepts, a 2K Sports studio, and will be available during the holiday season for Wii U. Those fans who pre-order at participating retailers will get the downloadable NBA All-Star content package presented by Sprite on day one for free.There are many young superstars in todays NBA, but weve selected three incredible athletes for the cover of NBA 2K13 that represent the NBA well, concluded Jason Argent, vice president of marketing for 2K Sports. Its clear to us that Blake, Derrick and Kevin are the most deserving guys to inherit the NBA 2K cover from Jordan, Magic and Bird.

National / International Reputation
Housed in Kennesaw State University's Department of Political Science and International Affairs, the MSCM program has been around for more than a decade and has graduated more than 250 students. Unlike most other graduate programs in Conflict Resolution or Conflict Management, our cohort model and close faculty supervision result in a graduation rate of more than 90%. Our faculty members are well known as both scholars and practitioners of Conflict Resolution and Conflict Management. Our faculty members frequently provide students with opportunities to gain experience by job shadowing and collaborating in service projects outside of the classroom.
The international weeklong study abroad experience brings students into contact with people directly affected by ongoing or recent conflicts, as well as with networking with professional peacebuilders working in these regions (e.g. Israel/Palestine, N. Ireland, etc). The combination of top-notch classroom preparation and hands-on experience makes this program unique. When our students graduate, they are ready for positions in the fields of conflict resolution, peacebuilding, mediation, ombudsing, humanitarian relief, negotiation, and business management.
Our graduates hold positions as practitioners, teachers and researchers within organizations that contribute to the successful resolution of conflict from local courts to the United Nations, and many places in between. Our faculty speak frequently at international conferences and publish in a wide variety of journals, in addition to lending their practical expertise to the development and evaluation of alternative dispute resolution programs at home and abroad.
