Q: What's up with "Columbo" and his questions for Obama?
A: The interrogator in a chain e-mail gets his facts fouled up and makes false accusations.
Have you seen this one making the e-mail rounds? I've seen that you've disproven at least one or two items contained in this "Colombo" e-mailing. Can you debunk any of the rest on your Web site?
Thank you very much for your good work
Subject: Sorry to bother you
Remember Colombo?
Ah, sorry to bother you Mr. Obama, Sir. . …
Excuse me Mr. Obama, I mean President Obama, Sir. Um . . I know you're busy, and important and stuff. I mean, running the country is very important and — ah — I hate to bother you, Sir. I will only take a minute. Ok, Sir?
See, I have these missing pieces that are holding me up, and I was wondering, Sir, if you could take time out of your busy schedule and help me out. You know, no big deal, just some loose ends and things.
Hey, you have a nice place here! The wife sees houses like this on TV all the time and says, boy, she wishes she had digs like this, you know? Is that painting real? Really? Wow!
I saw something like that in a museum once.
Oh, sorry Sir. I didn't mean to get off the track.
So if you could just help me out a minute and give me some details, I will get right out of your way. I want to close this case and maybe take the wife to Coney Island or something. Ever been to Coney Island Sir? No? I didn't think so…
Well, listen, anyway, I can't seem to get some information I need to wrap this up. These things seem to either be "Not released" or "Not available." I'm sure it's just an oversight or glitch or something, so if you could you tell me where these things are I have them written down here somewhere — oh wait. I'll just read it to you.
Could you please help me find these things, Sir?
1. Occidental College records — Not released
2. Columbia College records — Not released
3. Columbia Thesis paper — "Not available"
4. Harvard College records — Not released
5. Selective Service Registration — Not released
6. Medical records — Not released
7. Illinois State Senate schedule — Not available
8. Your Illinois State Senate records — Not available
9. Law practice client list — Not released
10. Certified Copy of original Birth certificate — Not released
11. Embossed, signed paper Certification of Live Birth — Not released
12. Record of your baptism — Not available
13. Why your wife, Michelle, can no longer practice law as an attorney? (Insurance Fraud?)_
14. Why your wife has 22 assistants, when other First Ladies had one?
15. Why were you getting "foreign student aid" as a college student?
16. Which countries "passport" did you have when you visited Pakistan in 1981?
Oh and one more thing Mr. President, I can't seem to find any articles you published as editor of the Harvard Law Review, or as a Professor at the University of Chicago. Can you explain that to me, Sir?
Oh, but hey — listen! I know you're busy! If this is too much for you right now — I mean — tell you what. I'll come back tomorrow. Give you some time to get these things together, you know? I mean, I know you're busy. I'll just let myself out. I'll be back tomorrow. And the day after. . …
What's that Mr. President? Who wants to know these things?
We the People of the United States of America! You know, the ones that vote.
In the old television series "Columbo," the rumpled Los Angeles police lieutenant played by actor Peter Falk solved crimes by asking penetrating questions based on his own keen eye both for evidence and for holes in the suspect's story. But the fake "Columbo" in this widely forwarded message misstates facts and makes baseless insinuations.
Birth Baloney
Probing for some evidence that President Obama perhaps isn't actually a U.S. citizen, the fake detective asks "Why were you getting 'foreign student aid' as a college student?" But Obama got no such aid. That question repeats a claim made in an April Fools' Day hoax that we exposed last May. He also asks, "Which countries [sic] 'passport' did you have when you visited Pakistan in 1981," suggesting that Obama must have traveled on a non-U.S. passport. But as we reported June 5, Americans routinely traveled to Pakistan using U.S. passports in 1981, and a conservative blogger's claim that Obama necessarily used a foreign passport is false.
"Colombo's" most blatantly false claim is that Obama has "not released" any "Embossed, signed paper Certification of Live Birth." That's simply not true, as we reported Aug. 21, 2008. We posted high-resolution digital photos of Obama's "Certification of Live Birth" showing quite clearly that it is indeed embossed with the official state seal of Hawaii and also bears the signature of Hawaii state registrar Alvin T. Onaka (who uses a signature stamp for these things). As we reported, that document is legal proof of Obama's citizenship, meeting the requirements for obtaining a U.S. passport from the State Department.
Nevertheless, "Columbo" asks for more. He wants a certified copy of an "original" birth certificate, presumably meaning whatever form was filled out at Kapi'olani hospital when Obama was born there on Aug. 4, 1961. Such a document may well exist, but it would be in the file drawers of the state of Hawaii, and the state does not release those. Since 2001, the only document the state gives to those who want proof of their birth is a "certification" like the one Obama released. But we have excellent evidence that Obama's "certification" accurately reflects whatever the state has on file. Dr. Chiyome Fukino, director of the state's Department of Health, states that she has seen the "original vital records" and that all is in order. She said in an official press release:
Fukino, July 27, 2009: I … have seen the original vital records maintained on file by the Hawai'i State Department of Health verifying Barack Hussein Obama was born in Hawai'i and is a natural-born American citizen.
Other Insinuations
"Columbo" doesn't stop at questioning Obama's citizenship; he also attacks his wife. The faux "Columbo" even suggests that the first lady has been disciplined for criminal activity, asking "Why your wife, Michelle, can no longer practice law as an attorney? (Insurance Fraud?)" But the fact is that Mrs. Obama is merely "voluntarily inactive" as a lawyer in Illinois, according to the state's attorney registration Web site. The president himself is listed as "voluntarily retired" from practicing law. The Attorney Registration and Disciplinary Commission of the Supreme Court of Illinois lists no record of any disciplinary action against either of them.
The questioner also asks "Why your wife has 22 assistants, when other First Ladies had one?" It's true that the first lady has a large staff — 24 at the time we checked. But as we reported Aug. 5, Laura Bush had at least 18 on her staff that we could identify from personnel records, not just one as our not-so-swift detective asserts. (Laura Bush might have had even more; a spokeswoman for Michelle Obama told us her staff is the same size as Laura Bush's, but we couldn't confirm that.)
"Columbo" asks why Obama's medical records were "not released." Actually, neither Obama nor his rival John McCain made complete disclosure of medical records in the 2008 campaign. McCain allowed a select group of reporters to look over his for three hours, but allowed no photocopies to be made. Obama's personal physician provided reporters with a detailed summary of his health status in May 2008, pronouncing him "in excellent health" with a normal electrocardiogram and normal lab results — including a cholesterol level of 173. There are surely plenty of other medical records pertaining to Obama that are not public, but we know of no evidence that these might contradict what his doctor says. And "Columbo" doesn't provide any such evidence either.
This tactic is repeated in other questions that are meant to raise suspicions by asking for records that aren't ordinarily made public, without any evidence that those records contain anything derogatory. "Columbo" notes that Obama's student records from Occidental College, Columbia University and Harvard Law School are "not released," for example. But the truth is that it would be illegal under federal law (the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974) for those institutions to give those records to reporters or members of the public without Obama's specific, written permission. Obama hasn't given that permission, but other presidential candidates generally don't either. George W. Bush didn't give permission to either Andover or Yale to release his grades when he was running for president, for example, according to a 1999 profile in the Washington Post. Bush's grades at Yale eventually became public, but only because somebody leaked them to the New Yorker magazine. We have no idea whether any embarrassing secrets might yet be lurking in Obama's old student records. But neither does the author of this "Columbo" interrogation.
Other "Columbo" questions are just insinuations that Obama is hiding something, without any evidence of that. He wonders why Obama's "schedule" and his "records" as an Illinois state senator are "not available." But the truth is that all the bills Obama sponsored or cosponsored, along with full transcripts of what he said on the Senate floor during his service between 1997 and 2004, can be found on the Web site of the Illinois Legislature. It's true that other records probably exist — perhaps daily schedules listing his meetings with constituents or lobbyists — but what reason would there be to think they would show something bad? Or that anything unflattering would be revealed by Obama's list of law clients, or his college thesis, or his draft registration, all of which "Columbo" wants to examine? "Columbo" doesn't say. In detective parlance, he's "got nuttin' " on Obama regarding any of those subjects.
Our conclusion: This phony "Columbo" is no Sherlock Holmes.

If you want to save money, upgrading from your single or two-speed pump will help you do exactly that. Compared to other models, variable speed pumps are designed to be able to work for the task at hand... rather than just a static rate. In other words, different pool tasks require different amounts of energy. Rather than over-pump in certain circumstances and drive up your energy bills, variable speed pumps were created specifically to be adaptable.
Worried you may be wasting energy or burning out your equipment too quick? You need a variable speed pool pump in your Sacramento pool. Unlike old pool pumps, which just run at one speed no matter what you are doing, variable speed pool pumps are designed to change speed either automatically. Previously single speed pumps were set up to work at the required strength for your toughest tasks, such as water jets or vacuuming. Variable speed pumps are designed to adjust so that when you are simply filtering your pool, which requires far less pump power, you aren't wasting energy... and they run quieter!
There are a number of reasons why, as a homeowner in Sacramento, you should invest in a variable speed pool pump today:
If you are thinking about fixing or replacing old pool pumps in Sacramento, you should certainly look into variable speed pool pumps. The new pumps have been designed for easy retrofitting, and also for very simple control coordination.
For most people who are looking for pool pumps in Sacramento, these modern pool pumps are perfect for your needs. They are quiet, energy efficient, durable, and long-lasting. Not to mention most companies offer warranties on your pumps and will even come out and service them if there are any issues. While the sticker may be a shock at the beginning, between energy efficiency and convenience these pumps will pay for themselves in 2-3 years. What a great investment.

Shelton racked up plenty of offense in its showdown with Daniel Hand on Friday.
The Tigers, however, piled up a little more.
Tyler Phan's 29-yard field goal with 24 seconds left lifted Hand to a 44-41 win at Finn Stadium.
The game-winning kick was ultimately a bit of redemption for Phan, who missed an extra point three minutes earlier to keep it 41-41. It was his first missed PAT this year.
"One of my goals coming into this season was to be perfect on extra points," the junior said. "I lifted my head up too early in a critical moment and it could've cost us the game. But I'm glad our offense was able to go back down the field."
Phan didn't let his earlier miss or Shelton's time out immediately before his field-goal try bother him.
"Obviously I hear their crowd, their chants, they're trying to faze me. … That didn't mess me up or anything," Phan said.
Hand coach Steve Filippone knew his kicker would ultimately step up.
"Talk about kids and resilency. … It would've went through from 35 (yards) or 40," said Filippone, whose team improved to 6-1.
Shelton dropped to 5-2.

Model of winter scene, New Rochelle, New York -- Penn Eastern System
constructed by the author
by Edwin P. Alexander/photos by the author
This was the first model railroading feature to appear in the first issue of The Model Craftsman in March 1933. We have reproduced it here for you to enjoy and appreciate just how far our hobby has advanced over the last 80 years! --The Editors
Starting very slowing but in the last year gathering considerable momentum, the branch of model making devoted to miniature railroads has gained large numbers of newcomers for its ranks. By model railroads, we refer, of course to true scale replicas, not the commonly seen toy trains. These new thousands of fans have joined their older or more experienced members of the fraternity for various reasons. One is no doubt because they want something more realistic than toys, another is because it provides outlets for their mechanical ability in wood, metal, cardboard, and all materials. Another side appeals to the electrically minded in the field of control and signaling which is really identical with actual practice. Still another aspect draws the artistically inclined where scenic effects and backgrounds provide them with something to create. Fundamentally, of course, all have a liking for railroads, motive power, rolling stock and accessories. Naturally then with so many different phases to draw and hold the interest, this hobby is growing rapidly.
There are a number of gauges and scales in use of which 1/4" scale is by far the most popular. This is used for 1 1/4" gauge. Others are 3/8" scale for 1 3/4" gauge (also used for the toy "standard" gauge although it should actually be 7/16"), 1/2" scale for 2 1/2" gauge and 3/4" for 3 1/2" gauge as well as several larger sizes. The writer has in various articles described 1/4" scale models due to its popularity and universality and the following remarks accordingly apply to it.
New type construction of passenger cars. All cast aluminum.
Planning a Layout
Laying out a model railroad, is, except of course, in its space limitations and roadbed, like planning a real one. In other words model track material does not come like toy sections. The rail is solid steel (easily bent, however) and must be laid on real ties. Splice bars for the rail ends, cast switch points or blades, cast frogs and guide rails, brass 3rd rail, connectors and chairs are available. Therefore your railroad can be planned, following actual practice as far as possible, to suit yourselves as no arbitrary fixed curves or track sections will limit its realism. The radius for curves on your model line should be 3' absolute minimum and 4' for main line curves, always more if space permits. Keep the main line towards the wall of the room and the yards, extra sidings, etc., towards the center so you will not have to reach across the main line on which trains may be running to operate switches or yard engines. Do not lay the tracks on the floor but always use a specially built table, baseboard, or shelving.
Model built by author
Laying out a model railroad is not merely putting down a lot of toy track hit or miss. It should be carefully planned and built. Every main detail should be gone over before actual construction is begun.
While these remarks refer chiefly to O gauge or quarter-inch scale, as most model railroads are in this size, they apply also to any one working in a larger scale or smaller scale if the available space is proportionally larger or smaller, radius of curves being a consideration.
Click for larger image
Figure 1 shows a suggested layout for a smaller space, 10 by 12 feet. In this case, as in the other plans, 4 foot radius is the minimum for main line curves, although larger is used where possible; 3 foot radius curves may be used for yards if necessary. The plans I have given here are only suggestions; the individual should design his own layout to suit the size and shape of room at his disposal.
Figure 3 gives an idea of baseboard construction. Seasoned wood should be used to avoid warping. When building the baseboard it is a good idea to allow places about 8 inches deep wherever bridges or trestles will be wanted later. For the roadbed proper 1/2-inch pine (No. 2 shelving dressed down) is best. For single track lines it should be 3 1/2 inches wide and for two track lines 7 inches.
The edges may be beveled slightly so that when the slate-surfaced roofing used for ballast is laid over this and nailed down, it will not have a tendency to crack along these edges. Cut the roofing 2 inches wider than the roadbed. When this is laid, the projecting inch on each side should be nailed to the baseboard, thus forming a small bank on each side.
Curves can be laid out on baseboard and roadbed with railroad curves (used for drafting), a template or a trammel. After roofing has been put in place, a colored pencil can be used to show where the rails will come. After these lines have been drawn, ties may be laid. Ties should not be more than 3/8 inch apart. Ties should be 1/4 inch by 1/8 inch and 2 1/4 inches and third rail ties should be 1/2 inch or 3/4 inch longer.
As rails come only in straight lengths, curves can be laid to any radius. Rail is best bent by hand rather than bent while laying, because it is so springy. One rail should be laid for a good stretch before the other is aligned with it. On curves this should be the inside rail and the apex or track gauge placed on this when laying the other rail.
The builder naturally desires to have something running as soon as possible, and as the completed plan will probably mean months of work before its culmination, I suggest that only one track or loop be laid first, rather than build simultaneously two tracks of a double-track system.
An important thing to consider while laying track is the signal system. The length of blocks, locations of signals, and similar problems should be decided on. I will not go into automatic block signal circuits at this time, for if the railroad is only no being started, there is plenty to do before the signaling stage is reached. However, I will say that a complete block can be connected within an hour, provided the track work is already done, including relay, signal and batteries at a cost less than $9.00.
Many model builders hesitate about making switches, although they are not difficult. Figure 4 shows the layout of a switch. Cast frogs are used, doing away with the necessity of filing ends of rails to points and troublesome fitting formerly done. The outside rails should be filed vertically on the inner side to take the points of the switch when thrown.
The points should be filed down and soldered 1 inch apart to a small bar (to connect with the stand, rodding, or switch motor). The heel of the switch is similarly soldered, only the bar is wide enough to be drilled at the center for a wood screw used as the pivot. Thus the movable rails are in one rigid piece.
Rails abutting the frog should not touch it if they are at the end of blocks. The outside limits of the third rail collectors are shown on the drawing and switches of different lengths in the gap in the third rail.
A supply of ties cut in successively 1/4 inch longer lengths and kept in separate containers is very handy so that cutting the ties for each individual switch will not be necessary. It is well, too, to have a piece of rolling stock with accurately spaced wheels (1 1/16 inch to 1 1/32 inch back to back on axles) with which to try out the switches.
Besides being easy to connect with switch points, rodding looks very realistic. Model electro-pneumatic controls also may be had (only electric contacts) for electrically controlled switches. These also provide extra contacts for interlocking.
Signal diagram boards serve the same purpose as in actual practice, and some switches may be mounted directly on them. Colored lamp caps, which may be had for 10 cents each, come in red, green, amber, white, and blue; they may be used to designate signals, switches and tracks, whether or not occupies.
These boards may be wood, bakelite, or similar material with narrow paper strips glued and painted white to represent the tracks. Switches or push buttons can be mounted directly on tracks they control. Switches, signals and tracks should be numbered to correspond with the levers in your signal tower.
Rolling Stock
One of the reasons for the large radius curves mentioned is that scale models of the latest types of locomotives will not negotiate a smaller curve. Such engines run up to and over 26" in 1/4 scale. Pullman cars and coaches are 18" to 21" in length and these too require a large curve for their long wheelbase trucks and to prevent excessive overhang. Model railroad supply firms can supply models of practically any company's motive power although most models seem to be of Pennsylvania equipment at present. The distinctive "Tuscan" red of this line's passenger stock seems to appeal to many although other road's yellows, blues, and greens are also attractive. It seems usually true that most enthusiasts model equipment of the roads serving their communities.
A model of the latest type (K-5), P.R.R.
All locomotives are entirely of metal, bronze castings entering to a large extent in their construction. Passenger cars have been built of nearly all kinds of material, the commonest being with wood roof, floor, and ends and mounting board sides. To the uninitiated this may seem flimsy but in the last six or seven years the writer has yet to see one of these cars break up or come apart, the construction has been surprisingly strong. However, a new type of construction is appearing -- an all cast aluminum Pullman with practically every detail cast on. The price runs somewhat more than others, of course, but is no doubt worth it. Freight cars are of wood or metal, box cars wood although cast aluminum cars will soon appear. Other cast cars are hoppers, gondola, flat and container. Cabooses are mostly sheet brass. Of course, model supply companies have a hard time trying to standardize such equipment, in fact it is almost impossible. The reason is that every railroad has its own distinctive designs in rolling stock and model firms cannot afford to list hundreds of types of equipment. They have, therefore, put out first the most important roads, Pullmans, for instance, are standard everywhere.
The subject of miniature railroad is much too extensive to go into detail in such an article as this but it is hoped these remarks provide a general idea of their possibilities. Innumerable hours of pleasure for years are what they offer and after all that is what one pursues a hobby for.

- Out-of-state driver's license/non-operator's identification card
- United States passport
- United States military identification card
- Employer issued identification card
- Student identification card issued by an Iowa high school or college
When the ID indicates that it is non-expiring, it is considered unexpired and valid. If the photo ID presented does not show the resident's current address, the residency requirement has not been met and supporting documentation must be provided.
Proving Residency
The proofs of residency listed below are the only proofs of residency acceptable for use by person's wishing to register and vote on Election Day. The proof of residency must contain both the person's name and current address in the precinct.
Acceptable Proofs of Residency
- A residential lease
- A property tax statement
- A utility bill
- A bank statement
- A paycheck
- A government check
- Other government document
If the voter cannot prove identity and residency, they may have a registered voter attest for them and be allowed to vote. If the voter does not have anyone to attest for them, they can return home and get the necessary materials and come back to vote or they will be allowed to vote a provisional ballot. The will have until noon the Thursday after the election to bring in appropriate documentation to the Auditor's Office if they voted a provisional ballot.

Even with all the gadgets I have and time I spend on the computer, I still look forward to reading the print edition of my local newspaper every morning. Recently, I saw an ad in the paper from a hypermarket (combination of grocery and department stores) that I'll call CubeMart.
Normally, I don't pay attention to ads, but this full-paged ad caught my eye because it's misleading. The ad shows a customer's shopping list and compares her receipt from two stores. What store first comes to mind that would be CubeMart's competitor? Bull's eye. It'd be another hypermarket.
Not in this ad. CubeMart decided to compare itself with a drug retailer that I'll call CubeGreens. If there was ever a time to use the apple and oranges cliché, this is it. Both serve different purposes. I shop at those two stores in very different ways. When I go to the drug retailer, it's usually to pick up a couple of items or grab things on sale. It's walking distance from my house, so it comes in handy during an illness.
I certainly wouldn't buy pull ups at the drugstore — not because I don't have kids that need them — but because they're almost always overpriced. Pull ups, laundry detergent, snacks, toiletries, medicine, plastic bags and nine other items appear in the two store receipts CubeMart used to show the customer would've saved 15 percent had she chosen CubeMart.
Even if CubeMart had used a direct competitor in the ad, I notice the fine print says prices may include special prices good through a certain date and they may not be representative of prices in other stores of the two chains. And, of course, it covers itself by saying that prices at CubeGreens may have changed.
This is a simple example of how companies can skew data to tell a story that reflects positively on their brand. Here's another example. Every year, a popular news magazine publishes a list of the best schools in the U.S. Dig deeper and you'll find plenty of stories reporting problems with the data used to create the list.
If you agree with everything an expert says, maybe that's because they're just saying what you want to hear.
— Dan Zarrella (@danzarrella) July 17, 2012
Many accept information without questioning them. This also happens with expert commentary, encyclopedias (both famous encyclopedias have published errors) and wordgraphics. (I call them that because they're too wordy to be true infographics).
We're overloaded with information, but we don't have time to question it all. It requires we change how we absorb information and what we do with it.
Most of the time believing reported information is harmless. If a customer believed CubeMart's ad and switched (still apples and oranges), the worst that can happen is the customer doesn't save as much as money as she could have at the real competitor's store.
When should we believe or verify the information we receive? How do we know what sources to trust?
Between my digital camera having video recording capabilities and cutting clutter, I decided to sell my barely used HD video camcorder on Craig's List. Or rather, the camcorder posted it begging for a home that will take good care of it and use it often. Within hours of posting, an email comes in from Walt Julius asking if the item is still for sale. After confirming, he replies [edited for readability]:
Thanks for you reply, i am located in Kansas, i really need to buy this and send to my friend schooling outside the state as a Gift to him, i have been trying to buy this on eBay but is very stressful buying on eBay and i will not want to miss out on this opportunity so am making you an offer of [deleted] to rap the sale off.
I will be paying through PAYPAL because i have a verified account with PayPal. So kindly get back with your PayPal email address so i can make payment into your PayPal account. Once payment clears, shipment will be handled by me through my personal FedEx account, so you don't have to pay for shipment. Get back to me if my approval is granted. I would like to see the pictures please.
Sounds OK so far. I take pictures and record a couple of videos. Though I spend more time than I'd like doing this, it turns out to be a good thing. I find out the battery doesn't last long and needs replacing. The camcorder works fine while plugged in. I send him the pictures, let him know about the battery and lower the price to make up the difference to replace the battery.
Then comes the kicker … [email edited for readability]
I have just made out the payment online now. Go and check the mail you used in opening your PayPal account I believe the confirmation mail must have been sent there check the in box trash or the spam message you should be able to see it there. I wanna let you know that i am having some little problems with my FedEx account as i checked it online now and i was asked to reactivate it so i cant do that now as i have to sort one or two thing out with them. So i am sorry as i wont be handling shipment through my FedEx account again.
So, pls get the postage cost to the following address via post office (USPS EXPRESS MAIL) and ship out the item via post office (USPS) asap cos i have told Ryan to be expecting it. I have also included $100 extra for the shipping. i think that should be enough for you to ship.
Ryan Coker
[address deleted]
Country: Nigeria
Let me know how much it costs you to ship.After you ship get back to me with the amount you used in shipping. I am really sorry for the inconveniences. Please get back to me asap.
Suspicious. Without looking at the email, I sign in PayPal and see a balance of zero. I never click PayPal emails — not even legitimate ones — because it's often used in phishing. Whenever I receive a PayPal email, I go to PayPal and check there. No clicking on links.
Your cover is blown, Mr. Julius or whoever you are. Curious, I look for the emails and sure enough, phishy. The "From" says, "Service@PayPal" with the email address coming from "in.com". Here are the subjects of the three emails I received:
Just when I thought it was over and I'd never hear from him again, another email came in after I told him the email wasn't from PayPal and no money came in:
i will confirm from paypal now because my money as been deducted, dont worry go and send the it item to the address i receive from my friend now, he has called me he told i told him u have send it through fedEx please do so.
I didn't reply.
What threw me off about the whole thing was the response to something I posted (and a Gmail address, too) and then his responding to multiple messages. I share these names because they're fake and to help others who may encounter them. When I figured it all out, I searched the web to see if others had reported a similar incident. It's often an eBay scam.
I forwarded the three messages to firstname.lastname@example.com who confirmed they're phishing attempts. Anytime you get something like this, please forward it to PayPal. I won't explain the other mistakes he made as I don't want to help the phishers improve their scams.
Stay safe out there.
What tips do you have for protecting yourself online?
OK, the summer season doesn't end until September 21, but this refers to summer off from school. I remember discussion about year-round school when I was a student and dreaded the idea. Of course, I changed my mind about that when I became a parent. It's not about trying to keep the kids out of the house. They'd still get summer break, just not for such a long time that they forget what they've learned.
Year-round school also gives them a couple of more breaks during the school year to recuperate. Every single year — without fail — the kids start acting up by April. They're burned out and tired by then. Back before Texas legislature intervened to create a single start date for the entire state (for the sake of tourism), we used to start earlier and get one week off in the fall. This worked well because it provided older kids with the opportunity to visit college campuses at a time when colleges were in session.
Can I just say I don't like moving a blog from one software app to another?

What's one memorable thing you did this summer? (Or during the time between June and August 2010 as it's not summer everywhere!)
Another teen hits my family. My daughter went first. My brother's daughter turns 13 today. She's the only niece/nephew (Always wondered if there was one word to describe this relative category — also for aunt/uncle, too) I watch grow up because the husband's brothers' children are older and don't live in the area. First cousins close in age living nearby doesn't happen much in my family. I appreciate having her sweet self nearby to give my kids a cool first cousin they hang with at family events.
Even though my work environment in the summer isn't the same as during the school year, I enjoy watching the Food Networks, TNTs, USA Networks and Bravos on cable TV. It's about time someone figured out to offer first run shows in the summer. Even if some of us take vacations, few take vacations that last the entire summer or from watching TV.
Of course, I'm not saying watching lots of TV is a good thing. It's about moderation and choosing what interests you rather than just watch anything that airs. Anyway, thanks to history lover hubby, I discovered Pawn Stars (I love the banter and learning about the history of the items brought in the shop). I also watch Top Chef (Nice to see a chef from Dallas: Tiffany Derry of Go Fish Ocean Club) and The Next Food Network Star, Psych (love the '80s references) and decided to record The Closer's new season rather than waiting for the show to come out on DVDs. (I record everything to watch while doing laundry or working out.)

I have a table containing the column names 'Min' and 'Max' when these are defined in a SELECT statement then the driver seems to confuse them with the functions Min() and Max().
I have tried the following SQL incarnations but an SQL exception is still raised:
SELECT Min, Max FROM MyTable
SELECT MyTable.Min, MyTable.Max FROM MyTable
SELECT MyTable.Min as MinValue, MyTable.Max as MaxValue FROM MyTable
SELECT "Min", "Max" FROM MyTable
SELECT "MyTable.Min", "MyTable.Max" FROM MyTable
I accept that it was probably not a good idea to name these columns Min and Max, but I am attempting to use this driver on an existing database design so changing column names is not really an option. By using SELECT * FROM MyTable I can workaround it, but I just thought it was still worth informing you of a possibility of a bug with this version of the driver.

Multi-Family – 15 Units in NoPa
Solar Domestic Hot Water for Multi-tenant Building
As the proud owner of four apartment buildings in San Francisco, Linda Erkelens has been doing everything she can to reduce her buildings' energy and water use. In November 2009, she installed a solar water heating (SWH) system on her 15-unit building on Hayes St, the third of her four properties being outfitted with this renewable energy technology.
Linda knows that being green and saving money means more than installing solar. She has also taken a comprehensive approach to water use in her buildings, using simple water conservation tools to get even better results from her SWH system. "I did every building," Linda said. "We went through all the units and did all the measures recommended by the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission water auditors. They were so cool! They gave me boxes of kitchen faucet aerators and low-flow showerheads to install."
Linda's system was installed by SunWater Solar and uses 8 Schüco Premium LA collectors. At 232 sq ft of collector area, the system is expected to provide over 60% of the energy needed for domestic water heating each year at this location, significantly reducing her natural gas cost. The system includes two 120 gallon Rheem Solar Tanks that supply the pre-heated water from the solar system to the existing hot water storage tank, for a total of 360 gallons of storage capacity. A Schüco monitoring system with SunReports allows Linda and SunWater Solar to view and track the performance of the system over the internet, helping ensure that energy production is optimized over the system's lifespan, expected to be 25 years or more. This system is helping Linda control costs where she can. "My water bills are high, my garbage is high, my electricity is reasonable, and my gas bills are coming down. I don't think I can do anything about the garbage, but the water is just going to keep skyrocketing because of water and sewer use."
Chris Chappell of SunWater Solar offered, "Linda is definitely a San Francisco hero of apartment energy and water upgrades!"

By Adam Armour/The Itawamba County Times
If the Cates-Gaither house were able, it would surely shift its floorboards into a splintery smile, its walls reverberating with a wooden "thank you."
The 150-year-old Fulton home has certainly found its fair share of admirers. More than 20 arrived at a special meeting last week to show their support for restoring and moving one of Fulton's oldest homes, now standing empty on Main Street. Calling themselves the Preserving Itawamba County's Heritage Committee, the group hopes to transport the Cates-Gaither home to a new location within the coming months.
Tossing around ideas, the group named several potential locations to consider moving the oldest section of the home, an approximate 36×28-foot space. The group is currently pursuing several possible locations throughout downtown Fulton.
"I'd love to see it in downtown Fulton, in a more walkable area," said Fultonian Joel Ewing. He later commented on the importance of preserving the old structure. "This home is a part of our history and therefore a part of who we are. It's about more than just saving a worthy old structure. This beautiful home will help us shape our future by reminding us of our past."
Members of the group are currently branching out, scouting locations and making new contacts in an effort to garner support to save the old house. They will regroup next Tuesday to further discuss their plans.
The need to either move or lose the house is a result of the necessary growth of its owner, Fulton United Methodist Church. Willed to the church by its last owner, Opal Gaither, in hopes that the land on which it sits would be used to build a parsonage, the house stands as both a link to the past and a barrier to the future. It's a difficult position in which the church finds itself.
So in an effort to be a good steward, the church decided to seek community interest in preserving the house, offering to give it away to anyone interested in having it relocated.
Arranged by church member and Fulton resident Sharion Aycock, the June 23 meeting was meant to determine whether or not the community was interested in saving the house in the first place. The question was answered fairly quickly.
"If you're waiting for someone to say he's interested in saving the house, I'm interested. I'd hate to see that house torn down," Ewing piped during the meeting. The crowd, the members of which ran the gamut from lifetime Fulton residents to impassioned history buffs, were in adamant agreement.
The plan, it was agreed, is to move the house to a new location in hopes of eventually renovating the structure into its original condition and using its as a historical site. The group is currently looking to have the structure designated as a historical landmark, which would help raise money for the eventual renovations.
Of course, moving a 150-year-old house will be a delicate, likely expensive project, estimated at more than $10,000 and possibly as much as $20,000, so fundrasing is a short-term goal for the group.
"The initial costs of moving this house are going to be a community issue," said Jerry Maxcy, who represented Fulton United Methodist Church that night. "It's going to have to start in the room and move outward."
All members agreed that remodeling the home and opening it to the public would help bring about a sense of pride in Itawamba County's heritage.
The Preserving Itawamba County's Heritage Committee plans to meet again on Tuesday, July 7, beginning at 6 p.m. at the ICDC in Fulton. Everyone is invited to attend.

Management Controls over the Department of Energy's American Recovery and Reinvestment Act – Louisiana State Energy Program
The Department of Energy's (Department) Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) provides grants to states, territories and the District of Columbia (states) to support their energy priorities through the State Energy Program (SEP). Federal funding is based on a grant formula that considers the population and energy consumption in each state, and amounted to $25 million for Fiscal Year (FY) 2009. The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Recovery Act) expanded the SEP by authorizing an additional $3.1 billion to states using the existing grant formula. EERE made grant awards to states after reviewing plans that summarize the activities states will undertake to achieve SEP Recovery Act objectives, including preserving and creating jobs; saving energy; increasing renewable energy sources; and, reducing greenhouse gas emissions. EERE program guidance emphasizes that states are responsible for administering SEP within each state, and requires each state to implement internal controls over the use of Recovery Act funds.

There's a big difference between a sporting concept car and an automobile set to see production. Innovative and advanced real-world cars and trucks take years of product development and huge investments by automakers. Should their bet on superior technology and a willing consumer base fail, it could damage the company's reputation for years.
This is why so many exciting ideas and concepts never really take off. They're simply too much of a risk for big companies to take on.
The world's top auto shows are typically where top automakers are ready to introduce cars that will drive their brands in very different directions. This is done to feel out consumer interest and create brand buzz, among other things. In some instances, it means a model known for excess will get an electric motor; in another, it involves a famously durable pickup truck getting a new suit of body armor. Other times, there are cars that simply buck industry trends. At the end of the day, these vehicles all share one thing in common: they're calculated risks.
Needing some examples? Well dig in, because here are seven vehicles that represent major gambles for automakers. Some are on the market. Some will be soon. But rest assured that industry execs and insiders will be watching like hawks to see what happens.

A second inning uprising by the Beeville girls got the team going. Tif'Ni Puebla stroked a double off the fence in left field to drive in two runs as did Samantha Salazar later in the contest.
Also later, Teresa Trevino and Christina Alcorta provided the firepower with base hits to drive in two runs apiece to help secure the victory.
Amanda Garza pitched the complete game for the JV girls and got the win.
"The team played well," said JV coach Alan Burkett.

Studio William Students Display Work at V&A
Posted on July 25, 2012 by
Sweet Instruments of Desire: Challenging historical flatware design
LONDON-The London Design Festival at the Victoria and Albert Museum here for the first time will include a showcase of dessert flatware designed by students as part of the Studio William national flatware design competition.
The free display will also feature seven Studio William flatware patterns that have been acquired for the V&A's permanent collection as examples of contemporary British design.
Studio William launched its national design competition in a bid to encourage student designers to create innovative yet practical flatware forms for the dessert course. The winning design, Leaf, by Anabela Chan, is now being manufactured by Studio William and will be sold in John Lewis stores across the United Kingdom beginning in September.
"We are honored that the V&A has selected seven of our flatware patterns for its permanent collection," said Studio William Chief Executive William Welch. "We believe that good design should be a mixture of innovation, beauty and functionality. Our flatware design competition, Sweet Instruments of Desire, was established to encourage and celebrate new designers. We were astounded by the quality of the submissions and look forward to launching Leaf later this year."

Commissioner Eloy Rodriguez said that he requested the court look at the position after he received complaints from several businesses owners who felt intimidated by Beeville and Bee County Fire Marshal James Barrie
"We have had a lot of concerns with the business owners," Rodriguez said.
At issue are the fees being charged by Barrie, a licensed peace officer, and his carrying a sidearm.
"I think it is kind of intimidating. To some people he might be a bit scary," Rodriguez said.
"I don't think we want to get rid of the guy. I just think I want him to understand that he may have been going about it the wrong way."
Barrie said that many of the misunderstandings about his actions could have been solved by a phone call to his office.
He said that as an investigator, he is sworn to protect the public and as a peace officer, he needs to wear a firearm.
"I could walk in any time on someone getting robbed," Barrie said.
The fees he charges, he said, run the office.
"I am an independent contractor. I have to run my own office," he said.
The fees also go to fund the other duties of the position.
"Part of my job is also public education and to further public education in the schools which is lacking," Barrie said.
He added that he would be open to having the position as a full-time job of the county or city as it would also make it easier to get grants.
Commissioners hired Barrie about two months ago to fill the position left vacant by Kenneth Orrell, who retired.
About a month ago, Barrie announced in this paper that he would begin inspections.
"The appointment of a new fire marshal means getting up to standards for the city and county," Barrie said at the time. "Per current state laws, it is the responsibility of the fire marshal's office to conduct annual fire code and life safety inspections on all commercial occupancies."
According to Barrie, the fees, published at the time in this paper, for inspections is based upon the type of business.
• Foster care/child care homes is $50
• Non-hazard occupancies is $75
• Hazardous occupancies are $100-250.
Rodriguez said he doesn't have all the answers, such as if the inspections are required, which is why he is asking the court to look again at the position. The commissioner said he has received information that contradicts what he was previously told by Barrie.
A copy of Monday's court agenda was released late Thursday.
Rodriguez stressed that he wasn't calling to have the fire marshal removed.
"It is more that we want to clarify some things," Rodriguez said, "the fees, the weapon, the money that is not coming to the county."

Objective: This study aimed to assess the safety and efficacy of the Elevate Anterior/Apical transvaginal mesh procedure in pelvic organ prolapse (POP) repair at 12-months follow-up.
Methods: This prospective, multicenter, multinational study enrolled 142 patients experiencing anterior vaginal prolapse with or without apical descent (POP-Q ≥ stage II). Each patient received a single-incision transvaginal polypropylene mesh implantation anchored to the sacrospinous ligaments bilaterally. Primary outcome was treatment success defined as POP-Q less than or equal to stage I at 1 year using the Last Failure Carried Forward method. Secondary outcomes included validated quality-of-life measures. Fourteen subjects who received a concomitant posterior apical support procedure were excluded from the analysis.
Results: Of the 128 subjects, 112 (87.5%) completed the 12-months follow-up. The mean age was 64.7 years. The anatomic success rate was 87.7% (95% confidence interval, 80.3%–93.1%) for the anterior compartment and 95.9% (95% confidence interval, 88.5%–99.1%) for the apical compartment. POP-Q measurements (Aa, Ba, and C) improved significantly (P < 0.001) with no significant changes to TVL (P = 0.331). Related adverse events reported at greater than 2% were mesh exposure (8; 6.3%), urinary tract infection (7; 5.5%), transient buttock pain (5; 3.9%), de novo stress incontinence (5; 3.9%), retention (5; 3.9%), dyspareunia (3; 3.2%), and hematoma (3; 2.3%). All quality-of-life scores significantly improved from baseline (P < 0.001).
Conclusions: Twelve-month data show that Elevate Anterior/Apical support procedure completed through a single vaginal incision yields favorable objective and subjective outcomes.

You spend a lot of time preparing for your next hunt: You've tested your equipment to make sure it's working, you've scouted a prime location… Perhaps you've even made travel arrangements for your hunt of a lifetime. When that gobbler comes into view through your scope and he's within shooting range, all that preparation will be worthwhile. But then what? P.J. Perea of the National Wild Turkey Federation says that despite their best preparations, many hunters are not prepared for legally tagging and transporting their bird post-hunt.
"When it comes to turkey hunting, some parts are more important than others. Especially the part after killing a bird and transporting it back to camp or home. Some states have rather specific requirements for tagging, registering, field dressing and transporting game animals after harvest. There are physical parts of a turkey that are very important to keep intact, as they will verify that you've killed a legal bird."

Facebook Camera Captures Support For Albums, Notifications And More
Facebook Camera, the official standalone camera app of the eponymous social networking site, has just received its first major update. Released back in May, just a little over a month after Facebook acquired the hugely popular camera app Instagram, Facebook Camera is like a photos-only offshoot of the main Facebook iOS client. Facebook Camera allows you to view a feed containing nothing but photos from your Facebook friends. It also lets you post multiple photos at once, complete with tags, captions, and even Instagram-like filters. The most recent update to the app, apart from providing better language support and the obligatory bug fixes, brings a number of enhancements. First and foremost, Facebook Camera now has album support. In the app, it's now possible to add photos to a selected album or create a new one as you go. [caption id="attachment_333648" align="aligncenter" width="676"] Facebook Camera[/caption] The app now also has improved support for likes and comments. For one thing, likes and comments are now displayed for posts with multiple photos. For another, likes are now available for individual comments. Moreover, notifications for likes and comments you receive as well as photos in which you're tagged are included in the new version of Facebook Camera. The updated app also features an expanded view of all users who have liked a photo, including their names and profile pictures. Further, it makes long captions easier to read in full screen view. The newly updated Facebook Camera is available now in the App Store for free. So is Instagram, by the way, on the very off chance that you don't know.

Gabbling the Mass
Willis explains that Catholicism and Protestantism are essentially two different religions. "The idea of worship is different ... for, in truth, the religions are different. Don't deceive yourself, my dear Bateman: it is not that ours is your religion carried a little further - a little too far, as you would say. No, they differ in kind, not in degree: ours is one religion and yours is another".
This is an important perception today, when much misunderstanding is caused both in ecumenical dialogue and in the subject called 'Comparative Religion' by those who fail too realise that religions can have radically different structures; their fundamental grammar may be wholly different, not just their superficial features. As so often, Newman is a thinker and an analyst very much for our time. But let us follow Willis's explanation:
"To me nothing is so consoling, so piercing, so thrilling, so overcoming, as the Mass, said as it is among us. I could attend Masses for ever, and not be tired. It is not a mere form of words - it is a great action, the greatest action that can be on earth. It is, not the invocation merely, but, if I dare use the word, the evocation of the Eternal. He becomes present upon the altar in flesh and blood, before whom angels bow and devils tremble. This is that awful event which is the end, and is the interpretarion, of every part of the solemnity. Words are necessary, but as means, not as ends; they are not mere addresses to the throne of grace, they are instruments of what is far higher, of consecration, of sacrifice. They hurry on as if impatient to fulfil their mission".
In other words, for classical Protestantism, the Eucharist is an acted word; it is a sermon dramatised; it is intended to instruct the witnesses and draw their heart to that saving faith which justifies. But for the Catholic, it is an opus operatum; an action which by the powerful and indefectible promise of Christ is objectively (not merely subjectively and in the heart of the believer) effective. So the celebrant is not in the business of moving or instucting or edifying or converting the viewer - if such may be the the by-products, even useful ones, of the action, they are not its intrinsic purpose. The priest's intrinsic purpose is to confect and offer the Body and Blood of the Redeemer in sacrifice for the sins of men. Failure to realise this is at the heart of what is wrong with so much modern and 'relevant' liturgy; and, to judge from my own reading and experience, the error is just as pervasive and deep-rooted inside the Roman Communion as it is outside it. .
"[The words of the Mass] hurry on as if impatient to fulfil their mission. Quickly they go, the whole is quick; for they are awful words of sacrifice, they are a work too great to delay upon; as when it was said at the beginning, 'What thou doest, do quickly'. Quickly they pass, for the Lord Jesus goes with them, as he passed along the lake in the days of his flesh, quickly calling first one and then another; quickly they pass ... " but I invite the reader to get and read the book; in these weeks leading up to the Beatification, I can think of no better way of getting into Newman's mind than by reading this semi-autobiographical novel.
In terms of rhetoric and apologetic, it might seem that Newman has cleverly (no wonder Protestant England considered him dangerously sinister in his cleverness!) justified 'gabbling' the Mass. But his purpose is deeply theological. I would put it like this (I am borrowing the illustration from Eric Mascall's section in Corpus Christi where he explains the logic of 'Private Masses'). If a Protestant went into a Catholic church and saw half a dozen side-altars, and at each of them a priest murmuring a 'private' Mass, his reaction would be likely to be 'Why are all those Ministers taking separate services, each of them with no more than one person to watch? What good does it do? Actors don't put on Hamlet to empty theatres just for the sake of it. It's pointless'. But the priest knows that offering the One sacrice for the sins of all the world is the most worthwhile thing a man can do, whether his congregation is thousands ... or no-one. It is not a performance to impress.
Naturally, Doing This each day takes hold of a man and changes him. To quote Newman again, "You, who day by day offer up the Immaculate Lamb of God, you who hold in your hands the Incarnate Word under the visible tokens which He has ordained, you who again and again drain the chalice of the Great Victim; who is to make you fear? what is to startle you? what to seduce you? who is to stop you, whether you are to suffer or to do, whether to lay the foundations of the Church in tears, or to put the crown upon the work in jubilation?"
May this great Doctor of the Church watch over his children, both Anglican and Catholic.

Father, this is really superb.
I can't express how grateful I am to have found your blog, to be able to read your insights.
I truly believe that after his canonization Newman will be named a Doctor of the Church.

So, in you estimation, how long should a Tridentine Mass (or a decent Novus Ordo Mass) take? I'm writing an essay on the proper length of Holy Mass -- how it should neither be too long nor too short, neither slipshod nor dragged out -- and I'd like your input.

Your paragraph, beginning "In other words, for classical Protestantism..." is excellent!
However, it would not be easy to convince me that Catholic parishes where the Pastor is Catholic (in Newman's sense), even if the congregations appear to function on the Protestant principle of worship (didacticism, chapter and verse of the Bible, etc.) are not deep-down really Catholic. Just yesterday, I was chatting with our Pastor (a Catholic, in Newman's sense) who after the English-language NO Mass (of the Ascension), led the parish in the Leonine Prayers (in English). I asked him how long he had been doing that. His reply, with a smile, was "Oh, for a few months now; I only do it at the weekday Masses as of yet, but I hope eventually to say them after all the Masses. At first, there were questions, but no objections; now they expect it; in a few months they'll say, He's always done that! It's a good way to help them pray a thanksgiving after Mass, and I think they like that."
There's a lot to be said for doing without commenting on exactly what one is doing (cf. Ambrose, de Mysteriis).

Newman was a clever clogs, but I tend to agree with my old tutor (himself an eminent Church historian and formerly of the Oratory) that were Newman alive today, he'd have long since converted to Orthodoxy.
As for a Protestant walking into a Catholic Church and witnessing a host of priests saying "private" Masses at side Altars, as a Catholic myself I agree with the Protestant - that it is rather strange. Give me one High Mass a decade than daily Low Mass for a century. If the august Sacrifice is so perfect and mind-blowing then It is a pretty boring miracle at Low Mass...

Carlos Palad: I believe Pius V legislated that Low Mass should not take less than 20 minutes, nor more than 30. Sorry I can't give a reference.

"…the error is just as pervasive and deep-rooted inside the Roman Communion as it is outside it."
Great article, Father! And as to how far we have fallen in much of Catholic Liturgy, you're right. Once the 'Spirit of Vatican II' crowd got going on the Mass as merely a meal, things went downhill and the true sacrificial meaning of the Mass was lost for many people – not to mention many clergy. The Mass became a 'performance' with Father 'Cool and with-it' the prime actor and center of attention.
The Holy Father dealt with this decisively in his book "The Spirit of the Liturgy" where he noted that while the Mass ("the new reality")was established within the framework of the Passover Meal, it was not the meal as such that he commanded us to repeat, but the new reality. He blamed the turning around of the altars for making the celebrant, rather than Our Lord, the center of attention.
We have lost much. We have much to re-gain!
- 15 May, 2010
- C. Wingate said...
Actually, on one level this Protestant has no problem with a more-or-less private mass. For a year I would arrive at the dreary west chapel at UMCP, and Wofford Smith and I would wait for the third person to arrive for eucharist. On All Saints the third person never arrived, and we bent the old rules a bit and did it anyway. "Whenever two or three...."
But one need not "gabble" even on so small a scale; one can do it "decently and in order". What is decent and in order for two or three may cease to be so when done for two or three hundred. I am tempted at least to insist that if circumstances allow for production values to be raised, then they should be raised; but in no case is there justification for slovenliness, and that is what, I'm afraid, too many Catholic defenders of "gabbling" end up supporting in practice.

Father, many thanks for your posts. I have enjoyed reading several of them this evening and it is refreshing to read catholic theology and sentiment expressed lucidly and without apology. I have just finished training for the priesthood and am somewhat weary of the trite, lightweight works that are supposed to equip us these days. Many thanks

I use Texnixcenter TeXnicCenter As far as I know Word does not work with miktex. I wish it did.
I am taking a few math intensive courses this semester and I love how easy latex is to use. I did some research on-line and downloaded the complete package of MikTex and WinEdt. My goal was to be able to type notes or a paper in Microsoft Word and have correct mathematical notation present.
Did I download the right programs? Are there better ones? The set up on mathhelpforum is so easy but I can not seem to get WinEdt to work like that. Any ideas?
Thank You very much for your time.
I use TextPad and MiKTeX. CaptainBlack likes to use LyX, which definitely has a lot going for it.
Avoid MS Word at all costs.
Tip: you can use Mathematica to generate LaTeX code for large expressions. Use the //TeXForm suffix to any command to have its output in TeX format.
if i was typing notes from today's class, what would be the easiest way to have equations in my word document. When i try to copy and paste from mhf, i get the negative of the picture. I don't really need all of the raw power of winedt. right now i am particularly thinking of physics notes.
IF you're using Word (and it seems perhaps that's what you've decided to do), then I know of no other way to get LaTeX into it than to use MathType. You can type the LaTeX, then with the Alt+\ shortcut, convert it to "equation view" (i.e., a MathType equation). If you prefer to type the notes for the entire class before you convert the equations, go ahead. When you're finished, select the entire document and click the Toggle TeX command in the MathType tab of the Ribbon. You can either edit the equations in MathType (double-click), or use the Alt+\ shortcut to convert it to LaTeX, make the correction, then Alt+\ again. There's a free 30-day trial version if you want to try it out.

Reports are hitting the Internet about the iPhone 3GS and overheating issues. Some are even speculating that a recall could be necessary. Apple has not responded to these claims at this time.
An informal poll around the office reveals that none of the 3GS owners at G4 are experiencing any overheating problems. Have you experienced anything like this? What about with different iPhone models? Past experiences lead me to believe that most overheating issues are actually caused by software.
If you are experiencing any issues, try a software reset and wipe the phone. It just might solve your issue.

Mazdaspeed Miata Cruise Control Installation
By Doug Collette – email@example.com
This information supplements the excellent instructions that have already been written by others and is specifically focused on installing the Audiovox CCS-100 cruise control in the Mazdaspeed Miata (MSM). Although there are some people that say that a vacuum operated cruise control will not work on the MSM due to the positive pressure (boost instead of vacuum) when the turbo spools up, my experience has been that it works perfectly, even on steep hills. A good, low-cost source for the Audiovox unit is BRANDSPlace.com (http://store.yahoo.com/brandsplace/0002-ccs100.html) where it sells for $80.95.
To start, remove the three screws holding the attached bracket to the servo and reverse the bracket so that it comes off the opposite side of the servo. This will enable you to directly mount the servo to the engine compartment as shown in the following picture. As stated by others, the servo DIP switches should be set as follows: SW1, SW2 and SW4 to ON and SW3, SW5, SW6 and SW7 to OFF.
There is an existing threaded hole near the Diagnostic Connector and one of the supplied M6 bolts in the kit fits this hole perfectly. Use this bolt with a lock washer to secure the servo and ground wire.
The blue VSS wire needs to be connected to the green wire with the yellow stripe inside the Diagnostic Connector. Some people have jammed the blue wire into the appropriate connector socket, but if you're careful, there is room to use one of blue Scotchlock connectors inside the Diagnostic Connector housing. This is much neater, more secure and will let the Diagnostic Connector remain functional.
To connect the servo cable to the throttle, I used the throttle cable clamp from the kit and clamped the servo cable below the throttle cable as shown in the following picture. Add the barrel wire adaptor to the throttle mechanism in the hole above the one used by the throttle cable. Cut the bead chain to the correct length and attach using the bead chain couplers. I had to slightly enlarge the opening in the bead chain coupler to accommodate the large hex end of the barrel wire adaptor. It may be necessary to slightly spread the sides of the cable track on the throttle mechanism to ensure that the bead chain doesn't slip out of the track.
For the servo vacuum source, I used the vacuum line near the rear of the engine. It is advisable to use a one-way check valve in the cruise control servo vacuum line to prevent the servo from seeing positive (boost) pressure when the turbo spools up. Fortunately, there are several one-way check valves already installed in some of the engine vacuum lines. The one-way check valves are white and green barrel shaped plastic pieces. Insert the T-connector from the kit after the one-way check valve as shown in the following picture.
The under dash wiring is the same as described in the NB section and is pretty straight forward. Instead of mounting the control switch assembly on the dash to the right of the dimmer switch, I followed the suggestion of M1MiataMike and mounted it on the plastic housing beneath the steering wheel as shown in the following picture. The housing comes off easily with the removal of three screws and the controls are easy to reach. It's simply a matter of preference.
Since the switch assembly keypad lighting uses a couple of low-power, long-life LEDs, I decided to solder the grey wire to the red +12V power lead in the 4-pin connector. This leaves the keypad lighting on as long as the car is running but it saved having to find and splice into one of the lighting wires.
I mounted mine in the blank panel of the MSM Bose 6-CD changer where an additional cassette/minidisk player would go. This is an option that blends in with the dash better.
