Skip to comments.Florida teen gets 30 days in jail for insult to Miami judge
Posted on 02/05/2013 4:25:35 PM PST by SMGFan
A cranky Florida teenager, upset over getting arrested for drug possession, lashed out at a Miami judge during her bond hearing Monday, flipping him the bird and earning a 30-day sentence for contempt in the process. Penelope Soto, who had been arrested for having Xanax and was charged with possession of a controlled substance without a prescription, was brought before Miami-Dade County Circuit Judge Jorge Rodriguez-Chomat on Monday. The stern jurist asked the 18-year-old Soto, who was wearing an orange jail jumpsuit, about her assets, probing into how much her jewelry was worth, according to NBCMiami.com. Soto, who had been laughing and smiling through the hearing, chuckled at the question.

She earned it. If you ask me the judge was surprisingly good tempered with her.
These judges that slap on extra time because somebody dared to disrespect their authority(!) look nothing but petty and small. He'd look like a much bigger man if he simply shrugged it off.
Obviously this girl is a piece of work, but judges aren't special or above the average citizen (although most of them seemingly think they are). They shouldn't be allowed such discretion in things such as things.
Saw the video on FNC earlier and I could not understand the judge! He sounded like an East European!
I don't disagree with the judge but it's been a long time since the judiciary in this country deserved any respect.
Governments of all branches and levels are earning less and less of my respect anymore. I know of a few police departments that are thugs, crooks, and tax collectors. Legislators are almost all socialists. The executive branches (save some Republican govenors) are corrupt favor factories.
I used to be mildly optimistic about American governance.

I used to be mildly optimistic about American governance.
In this case the judge certainly didn't do or say anything to earn the girl's disrespect.
I once had a judge ask me what I did for a living. When I told her I worked as a painter in a factory she told me that all painters are drunks.
Rodriguez-Chomat began his career in 1971 as an internal revenue agent. He then served as a Certified Public Accountant in 1976. He also ran his own law practice, Law Offices of Jorge Rodriguez-Chomat & Associates, P.A. In 1994, he was elected to the Florida House of Representatives, where he served District 114 as a Republican from 1995 to 1999. He joined the Circuit Court in 2011
No, not all of them. However, MANY house painters do have problems with alcohol. I've seen it first hand. It is not painting houses that causes that, but the difficulty in finding good house painters that allows those with alcohol problems to still get jobs painting houses.
Well, it is time the adults took control and insisted on some self control. It is about respecting the institution, not necessarily the judge personally. I would have given her more time just for being an a$$....
"Soto, who was wearing an orange jail jumpsuit, about her assets,"
There ya go!
"When I told her I worked as a painter in a factory she told me that all painters are drunks."
I knew one that wasn't a drunk. He just drank a lot.
Should have been a mistrial right then and there
There needs to be order in the court for it function. She got less than what she deserved. Repulsive little junkie.
Our courts are supposed to be. But no one has any respect for the law anymore.
I was in court years ago in L.A. when a young kid, about 16, was up in front of the judge for driving his mom's boyfriend's car without a license. This constituted multiple offenses.
The judge asked him "How do you plead, guilty or not guilty?"
The kid, to his credit, had in the meanwhile gone out and gotten his license. He wanted to show the license to the Judge, and began mumbling, thrusting his hand forward.
The Judge, obviously clueing into what the kid was trying to do, said sternly "Guilty or not guilty?"
After about three times the kid reluctantly pleaded guilty.
The Judge then said, in an equally stern voice, "What's that in your hand?" The kid immediately brightened up and said "Oh, I got my license!".
After the Judge inspected it, and found it good, he fined the kid $11.00. He then asked the kid if he had it. The kid didn't have it. So, in round two, the Judge said "Well, I have a nice warm jail". The kid said "I can get it", whereupon the Judge released him and gave him 'till 4:00 p.m. to get the money to the clerk.
It was obvious that the Judge was impressed by the fact that the kid had gotten his license in the meantime, and cut him a whole lot of slack as a result. It was equally obvious that he wanted the kid to sweat a bit, so as to realize that this wasn't nursery school.
Some people catch on, and some don't.
"When I told her I worked as a painter in a factory she told me that all painters are drunks"
I thought they were thieves?
Ya ever seen the inside of a courthouse in today's America?
They have more cash registers than a super walmart..
Too bad we all don't have the power of government judges, who can throw a tantrum and put people in cages for a month at a time because some young kid flipped um off.
The judge must be a real petty punk, or someone the other kids picked on in school.
I agree.
She obviously had never been taught to respect any authority. She will probably not be mouthing off quite as much once she is in jail for 30 days.
People don't respect a law so thick with offenses that everyone is guilty, so arbitrarily applied, and generally asinine. I'm sick of the whole lot.
I will not even begin to argue that point due to other experience I have had.
Does she do that for a living?
My sympathies lie with the judge. There are a lot of stupid people out there who neither understand nor appreciate that they are in trouble, and the judge before them will determine how much trouble they are in.
A lot of them act like animals in front of the judge, playing with themselves, laughing, ignoring the judge and trying to converse with their friends in the gallery, throwing things, cursing, spitting, getting violent, threatening people, and the list just goes on and on.
It is no surprise that judges get very crusty about it.
So now this party girl will get 30 days, and when she comes back she had better be extra respectful or she will get another 30.
That little puta is a hero of the revolucion!
What's new?
This will cost the tax payers tens of thousand for this stupid incident just so the judge can beat his chest and not look stupid during his tax paid lunch.
Back when I was a teenager (telegraph was still the main form of e-comm) my old daddy was a Hale County Deputy Sheriff.
If I had been busted for something, my old daddy would have been standing right next to me there before the court, and he would have been on a personal level with that judge.
If I had even thought about extending my middle finger at that man behind the bench, I would have been spitting Chiclets darn fast.
Ahhhh, the good old days.
That's right. It's us sheetrockers are the drunks!
She was acting like a little snot, and had the opportunity to save herself. Instead, she decided to insult the judge's intelligence during the part where she was disclosing her assets, then she stepped over the line by cussing out the judge. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
Filthy little skank. She got off lucky, If she were back at duh club and she tried that some homie would have put a cap in her a$$
To: US_MilitaryRules
In case you're wondering, at least one of us got it.
On FRee Republic.
This isn't a cop or some other LEO who's abusing his authority beating on a suspect or carrying out an illegal search. This is a judge presiding over a bail hearing where there's no need for confrontation. All she has to do is be polite for 15 seconds and she can't even manage it. The woman is showing contempt for the court; it's clearly criminal contempt, and that means contempt for the people of Florida.
I'm sure it'll make the judge feel better about himself that he has the power to FORCE someone to apologize.
Dumbest non-sequitur I've read all month, but it's still young...
Yeah that's one of the friendliest judges I've seen and her behavior was uncalled for.
This is exactly why we'll never have the glorious revolution that some here seem to fantasize about. Too many have zero respect for authority and aren't even smart enough to fake it. Their little revolution is doomed by a million little generals who are worried about being disrespected.
It is a matter of her lack of respect for our laws and the court, not about the judge.
Ya don't have to respect everybody but ya gotta be smart enough to know when to fake it.
Bad memories about your own court experiences? Good luck if you can't see the problem with stupid behavior by stupid, arrogant people in court.
1. When in court, it is not meant to be a humorous affair. It is quite serious.
2. Keep your opinions to yourself, whether verbal or gesticulated. Court is not interested in them nor in your wasting time with them. You want to waste your or anyone else's time, go find a soapbox and an alley to stand on to express them freely and expound upon whatever tickles your fancy. Not in court -that is not what they are there for. Just as you are a fool if you make unflattering comments or gestures to the man you are renting a room from and subsequently get tossed out of his house on your big fat keister for it, no one has any sympathy for your idiotic actions and the consequences thereby if you do.
3. Get caught and wind up in court because of it; time to pay the piper. Man up. Disparaging comments or flipping the bird is not going to cut it. Quite a few of the locales I came to know over the years you would be lucky to get away with just losing a finger over such an action, and anyone witnessing your stupidity would just shake their heads in disgust at you and walk away. Just in case such stupidity was contagious.
Yeah - bit of a red herring there, BUT many here on FR said much worse than this little twit concerning that ruling. The only difference was that it was in the court of public opinion and not in a courthouse.
As for respect, that is earned. I don't know the judge, but asking the defendant about her assets seems to be a bit overboard. Was he trying to take everything she owned to prove a point?
Maybe it will do her some good, she isn't a bad looking kid, doesn't sound stupid. She could probably have a decent future if she wants to.
Like a previous poster so eloquently stated: "play stupid games, win stupid prizes."

Funner than I thought
By Cher@MomandMore
from Chicago, IL
Comments about Learning Resources Hide-n-Go Fish™:
So first off the Hide-n-Go Fish is a a plastic blue bowl that comes with nine rubber fishes. Kids can put them in and take them out and even snap them together. I was skeptical at how much fun she'd get out of this fish bowl but she actually really likes it. She has even started carrying it around the house with her since her fishes are inside. What is so fun about this bowl is that it has multiple uses. I am working with Olivia on picking out the different colored fishes ("Can you give me a purple fish?"), Picking out a different sized fish ("Which fish is bigger or smaller?"), and Counting the fish. When we are all done we store all the fishes inside it and put it away. I figure too when she is bored with the fishes I can put other things inside and have her pull them out.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Hours of Fun and Learning for Little One
By Second Time Around
from Salt Lake City, UT
**I received this product free of charge in order to do an honest review. My opinions are 100% my own**This is my son's new favorite toy and he plays with it daily for hours. He loves to "catch" the fish and put them back in. It's been a great way to try and teach him about colors, sizes, and more. He also likes to pull the fish apart and put them back together, so it's been great for his fine motor skills. I love the fish bowl and it looks so cute in his room when he's not playing with it. Everyone always comments on it when they see it because it is so adorable and unique!
Very Versatile Fun Toy
By Planet Weidknecht
from Pflugerville, TX
Disclosure: I received product at no charge in exchange for my honest review. Preschoolers are fascinated by fish. Take that curiosity to a new level with Hide-N-Go Fish from Learning Resources. Made for ages 2-4 years, this open-ended educational toy will provide hours of fun imaginative play plus provide opportunities for matching and counting. The fish bowl is opaque, so in order to find out what's inside, the child must reach through the rubberized opening on top. The nine fish inside boast three colors and three sizes, providing learning moments for learning about big, bigger, biggest; small, smaller, smallest; and even small, medium, big. Parents and caregivers can create tactile games by encouraging youngsters to "reach in and pull out a big fish" or "find two fish of the same size." Each fish has a tab on its tail that will also connect to the mouth of each other fish, allowing children to strengthen fine motor skills. It's such a fun learning toy! Learning Resources has tons of great learning materials and educational toys that are durable, thoughtful, and versatile.
Fun With Shapes, Sizes and Surprises!
By Sweet Silly Sara
from Galion, Ohio
My son loves to play. When the Hide-n-Go Fish Game arrived at our door he couldn't wait to get his hands on this fun toy. The Hide-n-Go Fish Game is designed for children 2 and older. It is a fun way to learn about shapes, sizes and surprises.This toy includes a fun fish bowl that is just the right size for small hands to reach into and pull out a fish. There are 9 fish included. 3 purple, 3 green and 3 orange fish in assorted sizes. My son likes the element of surprise this toy offers. I love watching his face light up with each fish he pulls out of the bowl.My son will pick a fish and tell me if it is a Daddy fish, a Mama fish or a baby fish, which is adorable. It is also impressive to see that he can identify the role the fish play in his imagination based upon size. I like that this toy helps his coordination too. He likes to put the fish together, mouth to tail and connect them all. This is definitely a multitasking toy for my son, he loves to discover the fish in the fish bow, he plays family with the fish and just making them swim around is pretty fun too.Learning Resources offers a lot of fun toys to appeal to your the imagination of a child while inspiring learning and fun. We were very impressed and pleased with the Hide-n-Go Fish game and would willing to recommend this toy to other parents of small children."Disclosure of Material Connection: I received one or more of the products orservices mentioned above in the hope that I would mention iton my blog. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personallyand believe will be good for my readers.

My 2-year old LOVES it!
By Beautifully BellaFaith
from Memphis, TN
Learning Resources has a brand new toy that just became available this year! We received the Hide-n-Go Fish toy to review. This is ideal for children ages 2 and up. Isabella will be turning three this April, and she had a blast discovering the fish in the bowl. The bowl looks a lot like her snack bowls, since they have vinyl flaps to prevent spills and peeping. She even tried to eat one of the toy fish. Uh oh!Isabella was VERY interested to see what was inside of the bowl. She knows what fish are, and as soon as she pulled one out she imitated the face the fish was making and exclaims "FISH!". Two year olds are exploring the world around them every second of the day, and this includes determining which color is which. We've been focusing on our colors lately, and she's picked them up quickly. The Hide-n-Go Fish toy includes nine fish, three of each color – purple, green and orange. One of her favorite colors is purple, so that was destined to be the first fishy she pulled out!

Don�t worry about cutting a wire or plumbing line again!
Ever worry about damaging a plumbing line or wiring when you cut a hole in siding or paneling? Next time, try this trick from Club member Erwin Cohen of Orlando, Florida. Snap off the end of your jigsaw blade so it is no longer than the thickness of the material � this way the blade won�t cut into anything on the other side. However, Irwin points out, it�s important not to make the blade too short; if you do, it could lift clear of the kerf when it reaches the top of its upstroke.

On my commercial flight to AOPA Aviation Summit, I started daydreaming about the products that would be on display in the exhibit hall. If my purse had no limit, I thought, what would I buy? Immediately, I thought of a new pair of headsets. I've been borrowing a pair for almost a year now after my signature blue Sigtronics that I've had for 12 years started to interfere with communication. Then, I started making a wish list of everything else. List in hand, I set out in the exhibit hall with two budgets in mind: unlimited and a more realistic $500 limit.
Unlimited budget
$500 budget
I've been weak in the knees ever since I saw 5G Aviation's fire-engine red Super Decathlon in the Parade of Planes on Oct. 10. So, I headed straight to the exhibitor outside the Palm Springs Convention Center to inquire. For $175,000, the base airplane would be mine; plus, I'd purchase two $1,995 training sessions from them to finish off my tailwheel endorsement and take an unusual attitude recovery class.
I'd buy a Cirrus SR22 for my distance-flying machine. That costs $449,900.
Subscription to Trade-A-Plane. I'm on a 10-year savings plan to buy a used aircraft, so Trade-A-Plane will help educate me on the market. A one-year subscription costs $9.95.
Headsets are very personal items. I tried out David Clark, Lightspeed, Bose, and Clarity Aloft headsets in the exhibit hall. The Clarity Aloft headsets interested me because they wrap around the back of my head and fit inside my ears. Traditional headsets typically start hurting the top of my head after about two hours of flying. If I had an unlimited budget, I'd buy one from each headset manufacturer, fly around with them, and then pick my favorite.
I'd buy the tried and true David Clark H10-30 headset with passive noise attenuation for $270. David Clark will repair anything that breaks or goes wrong with the headsets—for free, no questions asked. Even though they don't have active noise canceling, they are comfortably quiet.
Garmin aera 796 portable GPS—oh, the luxury of not folding and unfolding a sectional a million different ways. The aera 796 costs $2,499.
I would enter every raffle exhibitors at Summit were offering to win a free iPad. Then I'd wait a few weeks for AOPA's FlyQ EFB to be released and buy the VFR plus IFR subscription for $119.
Aviation adventure
Air Race Classic 2013—four days of flying over 2,133 nautical miles. The adventure costs $6,000 per team.
I'd live vicariously through The Aviators. I can buy a season on DVD for $20.
Scheyden talked me into trying on their Albatross line, which costs $209. I have an older pair of Scheydens that have served me well. They've lasted three years so far, a remarkable feat for someone who has stepped on and rolled a nosewheel over sunglasses before.
Hazebuster exhibited some stylish sunglasses at Summit that range in price from $38 to $115.

great RS supp.
Posted by Reviewer1720224 on Nov 05, 2011
Perfect quality and excellent result when cooking. I use it mostly for simple and fast desserts that are very popular in Eastern Europe. Boil water with your favorite jam or juice (it can be also dried fruits boiled in water, anything that you like), add sugar and when boiling add potato starch previously dissolved in small amount of cold water (depending on the amount of water, 1-3 tablespoons of starch). Mix quickly until you get the desired thickness and wait for the first bubble from boiling. Eat hot or cold with milk or whipped cream.
Love it!

I not only use this in my gluten free bread and cake products, I also use this to thicken stews and soups. It is usually interchangable with cornstarch. If you want twice the thickening power, use tapioca starch. I do find this very nice to make cream puffs and eclairs, instead of wheat flour. The reason is, you do not have to pull out doughy mass in the middle of the puff (what you have to do with wheat flour puffs), as it all bakes up nice all the way through with a nice hollow in the center for filling. For wheat eaters, if you use some with your wheat flour, substitute some wheat flour with the starch, it will greatly lighten up your cakes and breads. For those who use gluten free flours, sift in with your rice flour and other starches as this makes it easier to measure accurately and mix better.
Your health depends on health of your bacteria.

In short: Only 110 runners - which I enjoyed..Date of review: March 10, 2008
In short: My first ever 10K and I really enjoyed it. The finish anyway! Well organised. Thanks to all involved.Date of review: March 10, 2008
In short: A bit over priced but well organisedIn full: A nice run but I also find doing laps a bit of a mental challenge. The brief at the beginning of the run leading you up to the start line was good - no confusion as to where we were going!! Good mile markers and friendly people on the water station. The scenery gets a bit boring and sadly there weren't enough runners to create a really good atmosphere, however a couple of other competitors I spoke to were very friendly. Great commentry at the finish line and very accurate finish times. I did think the event was a little overpriced but would definitely do it again.Date of review: March 10, 2008
In short: Windy!In full: Not a PB course - well, not yesterday, anyway. Excellent running surface but laps are always a mental challenge for me. Good organisation but more people would have made it more enjoyable.Date of review: March 10, 2008
In short: Friendly people, windy course and the cafe make a mean chilli!In full: Always an excellently organised event followed by the Chilly Duathlon. Very friendly and the cafe always does great bacon/sausage rolls and excellent chilli! Although it is an inevitably windy course because it is so open a dip in the hot tub after the run makes it worthwhile. Well done Will, another great event! See you in November!Date of review: March 10, 2008
In short: Good, well organised race.In full: Great to run totally traffic free course, and I agree very spectator friendly. Being on a motor racing circuit, the temptation is to start off a bit too fast, and there was a strong headwind for approx 3rd of each lap, but on a good day, this course could certainly get you a PB. Just pick the racing line!Date of review: March 10, 2008
In short: Well organised, smooth surface and a definate PB opportunityDate of review: March 9, 2008
In short: Fab! The ultimate traffic-free road race!In full: This was my 3rd time at Castle Combe and it was as good as ever. Fantastic organisation and nice medal for finishing, goodies too if you'd pre-booked.Pity about the strong wind on the back straight, but a definite PB race and the pleasure of no traffic! Refreshments, stalls and a warm viewing tower for supporters makes it a family-friendly event...will be back for more!Date of review: March 9, 2008
In short: welcoming and well organisedIn full: Really appreciated that they gave a junior prize even though it wasn't on the list as encouragementDate of review: March 9, 2008
In short: A sound race - even better without the wind! Will definitely be back to have another go at it!Date of review: March 9, 2008

About the Author: Robert W. Maggi serves as Coordinator for Counter Piracy and Maritime Security in the Department's Bureau of Political-Military Affairs.
In the waters off the Horn of Africa, the summer monsoon season is coming to an end and pirates are returning to sea to target humanitarian aid and commercial vessels transiting one of the world's busiest shipping corridors.
Through the Contact Group on Piracy off the Coast of Somalia, the United States has partnered with more than 50 nations and international organizations to work towards realizing Secretary Clinton's vision of "a 21st century solution to the 17th century crime of piracy." Since its creation in January 2009, the Contact Group has doubled in size, reflecting the broad international consensus on the need to safeguard the seaways. Together, we have made several positive contributions toward curtailing piracy in the Gulf of Aden and the Somali Basin.
The State Department has worked closely with our colleagues at the U.S. Maritime Administration and the U.S. Coast Guard to partner with the International Maritime Organization and the shipping industry in developing simple, cost-effective self-protection measures that individual vessels can take to deter would-be attackers. These measures include briefing crew members and increasing watches, adding additional lighting and blocking access to the vessel while at sea, and taking evasive maneuvers if confronted by would-be attackers.
Contact Group participants have also helped establish a 20-nation joint naval patrol to establish an Internationally Recognized Transit Corridor for vessels transiting the region. The U.S. Navy partners with the Republic of Korea and several other nations in a Combined Task Force, as well as through the NATO-led Operation Ocean Shield. Both these efforts coordinate closely with Operation Atalanta, a maritime security mission led by the European Union, as well as additional naval contributions from fellow Contact Group participants China, India, and Russia to safeguard the shipping lanes.
As we work to combat piracy's impact at sea, we are also working to address the conditions in Somalia that have allowed piracy to take root. To this end, the Contact Group on Piracy works in parallel with the UN's International Contact Group on Somalia in support of the Somali-led Djibouti Peace Process and Somalia's Transitional Federal Government. The United States has consistently been the largest single-country provider of humanitarian assistance in Somalia as well, providing more than $180 million in food and non-food emergency aid since 2008. Additionally, the United States continues to support the Djibouti Peace Process and Somali-led efforts to stabilize Somalia, which can ultimately provide the governance structures necessary to end piracy from its land-based origins.
Recent months have seen several positive developments toward curtailing piracy, including:
• On April 12, President Obama issued Executive Order 13536 blocking the property of certain persons contributing to the conflict in Somalia, including two pirate leaders.
• Abshir Boyah, an admitted pirate ringleader who was among the individuals designated in the U.S. Executive Order, was arrested by authorities in the northwestern Somalia region of Puntland.
• The Department of State works closely with its partners from the Departments of the Treasury, Justice, Homeland Security, and other interagency partners, to engage our Contact Group counterparts on how best we come together to track and disrupt the financial networks that support the pirates' illicit activities.
• Kenya and the Seychelles continue to prosecute suspected pirates in their national courts, and Tanzania has taken steps to amend its national law to facilitate the prosecution of suspected pirates in its national courts, regardless of whether the particular piracy attack has a Tanzanian nexus. We urge other states in the region to join these states in their efforts to prosecute suspected pirates or imprison convicted pirates. The United States also sits on the board of the UN Trust Fund Supporting the Initiatives of States Combating Piracy off the Coast of Somalia, which helps provide capacity building assistance to countries in the region to support their efforts to prosecute and imprison pirates while improving the rule of law and their own security more generally.
Piracy off the Horn of Africa is an international problem that requires an international solution. Much work remains ahead, but so far, we are making solid progress in combating this shared security challenge.

Maybe I look at this problem a little differently than most folks, I don't know.
Sometimes I get the sense that folks are trying to deal with this as a "law enforcement matter" (not to get political here, but as reference to the actuality of matitime law and its enforcement) rather than in context to the war on terrorism these very same nations in partnership are engaged in with us as allies, globally.
When Bin Laden declared war he talked of "bleeding us dry", economicly. The WTC targeted on 9/11, piracy off the horn of Africa...part of the same game plan in my assesment.
Now, if folks don't think Al Shebbab and al-quaida have deep ties with pirates, one just has to assess the common interests, and funding potential for terrorism every time ransom is payed for ship and crew, and one may understand why I call it "bin Laden's navy".
So, we can have this conversation for a long time to come with update after update on piracy, or folks can treat this as a theater of war and deal with this on the ground where they base the opperations and have their "safe havens".
Frankly in my assesment, terrorists only enjoy them when we fail to take the fight to the enemy and fall back to a "holding position" instead.
I really don't see as nations have an excuse if they want this propblem to end and stop throwing money at it by the billions, not to do what's neccessary to turn Somalia into a UN protectorate and clean house there, as hard as that may be for some to commit the forces necessary for the job.
Not dealing with it has cost an awful lot of innocent lives in Somalia over the years and that just can't continue.
Folks need to get real serious about this as the war that it is, and look at the bigger picture.
You can treat the symtoms, but if you don't do surgery on the cancer, you won't save the patient. And civilization is the patient.
My question to you is whether my understanding and perspective is shared by my government?
And how might it differ?
Donald M. in Virginia writes:
Go United States Navy!!!
Eric in New Mexico your right...
Osama bin laden succeeded... he managed to put our nation in the biggest deficit, create wars, and almost break the Spirit of Americans. Well, our Nation might be broke, but we havn't lost our Spirit. Women should have rights, not be stoned to death because of an outdated religion which believes in the old testiment. The fact is women have proved themselves, accomplished, distinguished, and they will rise to the occasion. The old ways will vanish. The Leaders of Iran in my opinion, is ridicious. I would laugh my butt off, if when the Leader of Iran perishes, he founds out its a Woman who Judges him in paradise, while he is waiting on the 72 virgins. In the end it might be the 72 virgins throwing the stones. For yea who throw the first stone... or cast thea... a message for the Iran Government.
Eric in New Mexico writes:
If you are perhaps suggesting Sen. Harry Ried might have been right when he declared "The war is lost" just before the surge in Iraq that led to being able to hand it over to Iraqis...in context with the parameters of intent al quaida has to disrupt the world's economies...understand that all he can do is trigger reactions and sow instability on the cheep to manipulate the response...or try to. We haven't as they say, "begun to fight" was my point.
Some one just the other day tried to sink a supertanker in the straits of Hormuz, and if succesful would have blocked shipping for weeks, if my assesment of the intent of the attack is correct.
Now, I don't know if what I've asked Robert is beyond his pay-grade to answer, but until someone does, I think these problems will continue.
Eric in New Mexico writes:
"And finally, the United States strongly condemns today's murderous attack by al-Shabaab against civilians staying at the Mouna Hotel in Mogadishu. Our condolences go out to the families and friends of the victims. The attack occurring during Ramadan highlights al-Shabaab's complete disregard for human life, Somali culture, and Islamic values. The terrorists appear to have been targeting Somali parliamentarians and other members of the Transitional Federal Government – further evidence that they are bent on depriving Somalia of security, peace, and stability.
The United States reaffirms its strong commitment to stand with the Somali people and transitional government and the African Union Mission in Somalia as they courageously work to restore peace and stability in Somalia. And this comes at a time – and we're very grateful for the fact that this week we have additional resources arriving in support of the AMISOM mission, troops coming from Uganda."
-PJ Crowley, State Dept briefing; August 24, 2010
@PJ Crowley,
If you get this, perhaps you'll be able to offer a thought in response to the question I asked Robert here on this thread previously, because I just can't understand why the President hasn't asked for a declaration of war from Congress on al shebbab to lend AMISOM the full weight of American naval and air power, conterterrorism capabilities , recon, etc. to dimantle this terrorist org.
Well something is being done, but maybe it's time to ask you if the State Dept. would consider making such a recomendation to President Obama at this point in time?
I'm asking because I think it would help clarify things for the American public what our policy is, and the kind of "end state" we might expect.
I know what I expect as a citizen, but what does my government expect to achieve if it's solution is approched with less than that full measure of applied public committment in defeating terrorism and piracy?
See, the process that is in place in Somalia isn't getting the job done PJ, and that is self evident.
Djiboti peace proccess is a current perpetual state of war, and no one can make that work without creating the space for that to happen, and we haven't been creating the space well enough or fast enough to save lives.
I fear if we don't adjust our approach, this problem will continue to fester till we learn the lesson once here at home again why failed states are a national security threat, and if we're going to prop up a transitional government, why we better do that right as well.
I would think that if the transitional government were to ask for the UN to place Somalia under its protection, then additional powers could be brought to bear on resolving the development and civilian infrastructure formation that a viable government must be able to maintain.
Al Shebbab wants to cut humanitarian aid, the UN member states should physicly remove them from being able to do that, period.
Or void their 2005 UNGA commitment to protect populations.
Best regards, Go Red Sox!

I love our tradition, but we have to bring some excitement to the fans with a little more color in the uniforms. The Browns wore white in every game last year. Come on! It is 2012, not 1950. All I'm asking for is the Brown uniforms or even the orange ones weren't bad.
My favorite Browns unis were the orange pants, and Brown tops. They have only worn those once since the return in 2003 on MNF against the Rams. I was there.....they lost.

Rachel Poynter is a foreign affairs officer serving as the lead on environmental, health, and border economic development issues on the Mexico Desk in Washington.
When I heard that the North American Leaders Summit was going to take place in my home state of Louisiana, I jumped at the chance to represent the State Department in organizing this meeting. I wanted to make the connection between my daily job as a health, environment and science officer in the Office of Mexican Affairs at State and the daily conditions and situation of my own community, my own family.
I surprised myself by how many connections were taking place between the discussions of the leaders and our daily lives in Louisiana. Our leaders have been talking about making our businesses more competitive so fewer jobs would go overseas; about sharing technology and research on clean energy; about making sure products which cross our borders are safe; about coordinating our responses when emergencies or disasters occur. For a full read-out on the meeting as well as the latest photos, you can check out the White House web site.
What I am seeing is a foreign policy which touches our lives in concrete ways, and positively. I am reminded how the Canadians and Mexicans offered spontaneous support to the distressed people of Louisiana following Hurricane Katrina. I am reminded in this great port city of how much trade from Canada and Mexico transits here, how we get more of our foreign supply of oil from our two neighbors than anywhere else on earth. It's true that North America comes together in New Orleans.
One more vignette. Our world famous jazz music greeted both the Canadian and Mexican leaders on their arrival. When President Bush went to the ribbon-cutting at the Mexican consulate, he was greeted by mariachis. This brought home to me one other truth. Each of our countries have our own proud traditions which will remain strong and vibrant even as we do draw closer together.
Zharkov in U.S.A. writes:
Mexico and Canada are now close enough, thank you, so please push them back a few inches so we can breathe.
What you need is a "Let Mexico Stay In Mexico" organization, along with a "Keep Canada Canadian" committee.
Now if we could only find someone who is patriotic enough to care about America, maybe we might have jobs for our university graduates somewhere other than in the government.
There is a reason why countries have borders but it seems nobody in the State Department can remember why.

Columbia Customs 6" Swimbait Box With their recent surge in popularity swimbaits have certainly secured their place in the realm of bass fishing. The problem with these baits that they are typically too large for and difficult to store in your normal tackle boxes and that is why Columbia Customs developed their line of swimbait boxes to alleviate this problem. These baits are designed to have a life-like look and feel so safe, proper storage is a necessity and this box will hold a total of 16 swimbaits up to 6" in length without bending or kinking.
* Safe swimbait storage
* Holds 16 baits up to 6" in length
* Quality Plano outer shell
* Stainless steel components
* Built to last
Customer Reviews
Comments: This is a very nice box and my first swimbait box. The spacing on the keepers is very close, and i am using every other hook keeper right now. My 6" trout BBZ does not fit with the installed clips and will destroy the soft plastic tail if i leave the box strait up. It does fit the 6" hudds very nice and will keep there tails from getting all kinked. I just got the box, but so far i am satisfied. I plan on swaping out one of the hangars to see if i can get the BBZ to hang in there.

Reducing taxes in N.D.
Ray Zajac, Mantador
North Dakota's governor and legislators will be reducing taxes in this legislative sessions. Which are the best taxes to reduce?
North Dakota has basically four taxes: income tax, sales tax, property tax and fees and licenses.
I am not a person who favors income tax but in North Dakota's case it would be one of the worst taxes to cut.
The reason: because of the oil boom we have so many out-of-state individuals and corporations working in North Dakota who send their money out of state. Giving them a bigger paycheck and sending more money out of state is not going to increase economic activity in North Dakota. The citizens of North Dakota are going to have to pick up the tab with poorer roads and less property tax relief.
The governor wants to cut income taxes by $125 million. Why not take the $125 million and divide it 50-50 between education and infrastructure.
If you agree, let your legislators know.

Mal;I like to use 14-ounces of dough for my 12-inch deep-dish pizzas (for a dough density of 0.124-ounces per square inch of pan surface area). All of my pans are dark colored so I don't need to bake them on a stone, but I do need to move them around in the oven. I start out with the pizza on a lower rack position to get the bottom started (about 2/3 of the total baking time) and then move the pizza to a higher rack position to achieve the top bake that I'm looking for. When I've used a stone I always end up with a darker bottom color/bake than what I like. My oven is an electric oven with only a bottom element in the oven chamber and I bake at 425F. Total baking time typically runs about 20-minutes, maybe a little longer. I normally don't bake to time, but instead prefer to bake to color and doneness. I look for the nice, golden brown top color and then use a cake decorating spatula to pick the pizza up out of the pan to get a peek at the bottom. If the color is nicely browned, it's done.Tom Lehmann/The Dough Doctor

Area Police
Two fugitives from
justice apprehended
ELLERY – On Satur-day, Bryon G. Burchan, 43, of Gladewater, Texas, and Fred L Parker, 43, of Hermi-tage, Pa., were detained by state police from the James-town barracks as felony fugitives from justice.
At about 11:30 a.m. a trooper checked on a disabled dump truck on Interstate 86. The truck was traveling with other commercial vehicles employed by LND Asphalt of Texarkana, Ark. A file check of dump truck driver, Burchan, re-vealed an active felony warrant for larceny out of the Upshur County Sheriff's Office in Texas. A file check of Parker, another driver, revealed an active felony warrant for robbery out of Mercer County, Pa.
Both men were arraigned in the Ellery Court and remanded to the Chautau-qua County Jail with no bail. Multiple safety violations were observed in the commercial vehicles by members of the New York State Police Commercial Vehicle En-forcement Unit. This resulted in all vehicles being placed out of service at the Ellery Overlook Rest Area.
Fredonia troopers charge two teens
SHERIDAN – On Sunday, troopers charged Michael P. Monroe, 19, and James D. Sidon, 18, both of Warren, Pa., for unlawful possession of marijuana.
Monroe was stopped for reportedly speeding on State Route 20. Troopers report he had about 21 grams of marijuana and two marijuana pipes with residue in his possession. Sidon, the passenger, was reportedly in possession of about 2 grams of marijuana.
Both were issued appearance tickets for the Town of Sheridan Court.
Jamestown woman charged with DWI
On Saturday, state police from Jamestown charged Colleen Harrison, 42, of Jamestown with aggravated driving while intoxicated.
She was pulled over on East 2nd Street for reportedly driving erratically. She reportedly failed several field sobriety tests and was transported to state police barracks in Jamestown. The breath sample she provided was reported to be .22 percent.
Harrison was processed, issued tickets returnable to the City of Jamestown Court and released to a sober individual.
Ripley man charged with criminal mischief
RIPLEY – On Friday, Brandon L. Murphy was charged with fourth-degree criminal mischief.
Chautauqua County Sheriff Deputies were called to a residence for a disorderly person. It was alleged that Murphy damaged property that did not belong to him. He was taken into custody without incident.

Classes start on May 20.
Hip Hop: America's Narrative Platform (HUM 199 C) is an exploration of the historical context of hip hop culture as the first interactive media platform in America. Walk through history from the slave narratives to the beginnings of Hip Hop and finally into its maturity. Along the way you will explore the Blues, 'yardie' culture and Chicano protest murals.
"As a digital media campus, we constantly discuss and learn about platforms. The first platform I learned was the elements of the hip hop culture so I wanted to share it with Cogswell students as a way to increase innovation using a culture the students already acknowledge and love." -Bret Sweet, Faculty
"I want to take the Hip Hop class because it is a chance for me to learn or begin to grasp everything surrounding the hip hop movement and all its forms." -Troy Sinclair, Student
Game Animation (DAA 499) focuses on game specific animations such as Prototypes, In-Game cycles, Paired Animations and Combat. You will use the Unity Game Engine to dig deeper into the animation pipeline, tools and associated physics. Learn to speed up your animation workflow and capture character personality and aesthetics according to direction given and delve into basic techniques like idles, hits, attacks, chain attacks and reacts.
"As a Video Game Animator working across different Genres, I feel the need for students to learn about the Game pipeline before they get out of school. The Game Animation class is designed to give students the unique opportunity to test their skills, as in an internship at a Video Game company. Students will create assets (animations) and test them in a Game engine. By working with strict directions and time constraints, they will understand the technicalities that are necessary in a Game pipeline." -Jonali Bhattacharyya, Faculty
"Animation for film is wonderful, but learning to animate for games involves a whole other world of techniques that animators need to employ to be successful. I wanted to take Game Animation, not only to better myself as an animator, but to expand my skill-set, learn to pose characters that need to look good from all angles of viewing and perform specific actions with a limited frame count. At the end of the semester, I look forward to making some really cool character actions that can be used in games!" -Robert Mariazeta, Student
"Games boast interesting and inventive characters and enemies, so the challenge of understanding how to animate how each acts and reacts intrigues me. I'm also intrigued by game animation because it is so different from animation for film and television. There needs to be several animations to accommodate the large variety of commands a player can have over a character. I am looking forward to game animation because it will open new opportunities for me as I prepare to look for jobs and internships." -Amanda Martinez, Student
Audio Theater (DAT 498) If you have ever wanted to tell a story using only sound, here is your chance. During Cogswell's summer term immerse yourself in the production and recording of short dramas and narratives using only audio tools. Along with your classmates you will be given the opportunity to develop your skills in script creation, voice acting, sound effects, background music and dialog editing. An exciting medium in itself, it is also an effective test bed for developing soundtrack skills for animation and video games.
"Audio theater is a perfect test bed for learning all types of sound track skills (dialog recording and editing, foley, sound effects and theme and background music) without the overhead of developing a visual track. Whereas a 3 – 4 minute animation might take 1 – 2 years to develop, a 3 – 4 minute audio theater piece of comparable narrative quality can be done in a month. And it must be done correctly, because there are no visuals to distract from production errors and poor quality audio content. Audio theater can be even more vivid and immersive than film or animation because everything takes place in the listener's mind. Orson Welles' radio performance of H. G. Wells' "The War of the Worlds" caused major panic when it premiered. Listeners who tuned in after the start did not understand that it was fiction." -Timothy Duncan, Faculty
"When I heard 'War of the Worlds' for the first time, I was amazed by the way the piece impacted people. They really got caught up in the story. I thought this is how I want to present stories like the classic radio decades of the 1950s to 1980s. I can see this class becoming the Project X of the Audio Department." -Nick Connors, Student
International Political Relations (SSC 399) brings you up close and personal with world's political scene and how it affects your life. Anyone who has paid any attention to current world affairs, knows that the world is changing. The class seeks to answer such questions as; how do other nations operate, why do they make the decisions they do and what responses are available to states and the international community. The class will focus on five general areas: politics and society, the linkage between society and government, policy decisions, defense and security and international law.
"The world today is interconnected in ways that human history could not have imagined even 50 years ago. Right this minute, a student could live video conference with a friend in Moscow, close a web business deal in Buenos Aires and transfer source code and funds instantly, and that same student could fly to Beijing and arrive in less than 14 hours. Our growing closeness as 'citizens of the world' makes it vital that we understand the world beyond our borders because as technology advances the concept of borders becomes less and less of a significant distinction – what happens abroad, happens here." -Michael D. Lee, Faculty

It was clear that with the acquisition of Sun Microsystems Oracle Corp. will not only transform itself, but will also re-shape the world or corporate software and servers. At present the company is boosting its own direct sales channels to depend less on resellers, but such a move causes its partners to start working with direct rivals, Hewlett-Packard and IBM. Oracle admits, that its direct/mixed sales strategy may not pay off.
Oracle makes no secret that it not only plans to transit to a mixed direct and indirect sales model, but wants larger portion of sales to be direct. Naturally, it has all reasons to expect its relationships with partners to worsen and if its strategy is not successful and/or its rivals manage to be more successful as a result of strategic partnerships with the company's partners or major acquisitions, Oracle's financial results will be affected negatively. In fact, the company has just officially warned about such possibilities in its filing with the SEC.
"Although we will continue to sell our hardware systems products through indirect channels, including independent distributors and value added resellers, we have enhanced our direct sales coverage for our hardware products and intend that our direct sales force will sell a larger portion of our hardware products in the future than they do now. [...] Our relationships with some of our channel partners may deteriorate because we are reducing our reliance on some of these partners for sales of our hardware products, are modifying our approach and timing to the manufacturing of our products and are altering certain of Sun's legacy business practices with these channel partners, which could result in reduced demand from the channel partners or certain customer segments serviced by these channel partners," the entry reads.
Oracle admits that there are risks that its direct/indirect sales model many not earn similar revenue as its current business model, which means declines in sales.
"Some hardware revenues from channel partners may not be replaced by revenues generated from our own sales personnel or may not be replaced as quickly as we expect. [...] Even if we can meet our [sales personnel] hiring needs, these salespeople may not be able to achieve our sales forecasts for our hardware business. If we experience any of these risks, our hardware revenues or profits may decline," the entry claims.
Some of the company's partners are already considering switching to HP and IBM when it comes to hardware. Naturally, they are unhappy with the fact that Oracle is essentially stealing their business.
"They've already started getting rid of partners. Oracle is saying it's going more direct? Just ask Oracle how they're doing. It sounds like pure stupidity. Oracle could rebuild their partner base. They have all their software customers we work with. When customers' software renewals come up, we could help talk to them about the hardware. Or Oracle could do it direct. But guess what? We are in there now with other vendor partners. We can ask customers, 'Have you seen the Oracle roadmap? No growth? Well, have you seen the HP roadmap? The IBM roadmap?' If Oracle had brought us in first, we'd be singing, 'Kumbaya, Oracle'," said one of Oracle's partners, a solution provider, in an interview with CRN web-site.
Oracle also confesses that its effort to get rid of smaller partners may play a bad joke with it and its revenues will drop.
"Our software indirect channel network is comprised primarily of resellers, system integrators/implementers, consultants, education providers, internet service providers, network integrators and independent software vendors. Our relationships with these channel participants are important elements of our software marketing and sales efforts. Our financial results could be adversely affected if our contracts with channel participants were terminated, if our relationships with channel participants were to deteriorate, if any of our competitors enter into strategic relationships with or acquire a significant channel participant or if the financial condition of our channel participants were to weaken. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in maintaining, expanding or developing our relationships with channel participants. If we are not successful, we may lose sales opportunities, customers and revenues," Oracle concludes.

Lower-Cost Power Authority Electricity to Help Create 25 Jobs in Delhi
April 27, 2004
WHITE PLAINS—Score one for a Delhi company planning to manufacture sports construction equipment like football goalposts, long-jump pits and foul poles, in connection with an allocation of lower-cost electricity from the New York Power Authority (NYPA) that will lead to 25 new jobs over the next year.
The Power Authority trustees Tuesday approved an allocation of 400 kilowatts to the Delaware County Electric Cooperative (kw), to help make possible an expansion by Sportsfield Specialties, Inc., a corporation formed in 1998 as a products marketing company.
"The allocation of lower cost power will help support Sportsfield's relocation to a larger building in Delhi for a new manufacturing operation and expanded number of jobs," said Louis P. Ciminelli, NYPA chairman. "We're excited about the prospect of helping the company transition from a business that until now has been limited to marketing sports construction equipment produced by others."
Sportsfield has moved into a newly-constructed 16,400-square-foot building attached to a 6,000-square-foot storage building on State Highway 10. It's planning to spend a total of $1.5 million, including purchase of manufacturing and fabrication equipment, on the expansion.
The allocation of power will be drawn from a block of 108,000 kw provided for under an economic development program for the 51 municipal electric and rural cooperative systems in New York State whose full or partial electricity requirements are met by NYPA. The Delaware County Cooperative, which submitted an application for power on behalf of Sportsfield, is a full-service customer.
Half of the electricity under the economic development program is hydropower from the Power Authority's Niagara Power Project, near Niagara Falls. That power is among the lowest cost in the state.
The remaining half is available from other economic power sources arranged by NYPA.
The allocation to the Delaware County Cooperative leaves more than 75,000 kw still available for the economic development program in the service areas of the municipal and cooperative systems. Under the program guidelines, the hydropower amount not designated for a specific company is sold on a withdrawable basis to the electric systems as a whole.
The New York Power Authority, the largest state-owned public power organization in the country, allocates lower cost electricity under several allocation programs, including Governor George E. Pataki's Power for Jobs program. The combined total number of jobs linked to these programs is about 420,000 statewide.

Case study: Using Spartan to support green energy development
Post a comment
Post a comment
Editor's Note: I am delighted to have the opportunity to present the following piece from the third quarter edition 2012 of the Xcell Journal, with the kind permission of Xilinx Inc.
Product development for industrial applications involves extensive research and preparation in an environment of rolling deadlines and ever-evolving product specifications. While time-to-market for this sector may not be as short as it is for consumer electronics, products must ship quickly and with as many essential functions, features and potential hooks for the next generation as possible. Companies vie to be industry leaders in their respective competitive arenasespecially in new markets such as green power, which in their infancy and without defined leaders require pioneers to design, develop and deliver new products. Success depends not only on an inspired, dedicated team of engineers, advanced computing technology and new materials, but also on angel investors or government agencies to provide grants for promising approaches to improved energy generation, distribution, monitoring, metering and consumption.
In the fall of 2011, engineers from Princeton Power Systems (PPS), a New Jersey-based manufacturer of advanced power-conversion products and alternative-energy systems, demonstrated their latest green power product. This demand response inverter (DRI) was the result of a three-year collaboration between PPS, the United States Department of Energy and Sandia National Laboratories Solar Energy Grid Integration Systems (SEGIS).
The resulting multi-terminal DRI (Figure 1) is uniquely flexible to be more reliable, more efficient and more cost-effective than currently available inverters. Equipped with multiple AC and DC terminals, the DRI can route power to the grid, a microgrid, DC energy storage or dynamic loads. Programmable power curves and charge profiles enhance control for generators, loads and batteries, ensuring greater efficiency. And the use of advanced high-capacity long-lifespan switches maximizes reliability.
Figure 1 The flexibility in Princeton Power Systems demand response inverter comes from FPGAs.
Princeton Power Systems showcased features of the DRI that improve electrical-grid interconnectivity and efficiency, enhance the performance of renewable energy systems and allow for better integration of electric vehicles and distributed power generation. The DRI was part of the companys An Island in the Sun microgrid demonstration (Figure 2), which detailed key advancements in clean technology and manufacturing, including a 200-kilowatt solar array and lithium-ion battery system.
Figure 2 Princeton Powers flexible, multi-terminal DRI is here configured for an electrical microgrid.
A microgrid can operate independently of a major utility grid to supply reliable, low-carbon-emission energy. PPS DRI is compatible with AC generators such as diesel or gas, and with photovoltaic (PV) or wind inputs. A small community using a DRI is less dependent on the grid and can reduce its carbon footprint and utility costs. The DRI can also provide grid services, PV with storage and charging for electric vehicles.

Looks good Norma, except you'll need to thin that out a bit, as I'm sure you know.
I opened the can of Gangi Supreme Super Heavy Pizza Sauce today and I thought it actually tasted good and was redder than I remembered. It isnt as sweet as what I normally use though. I added some oregano and black pepper so it might develop some flavor of the oregano until tomorrow. I might have to add more oregano tomorrow, but I didnt want to add to much oregano at first. A batch of 10 Macks clone dough balls were made today to see what my customers think of a boardwalk style pizza.Norma
Sounds fab Norma....good luck. Don't forget your squeeze bottle!!
That is a cool looking pitcher and the other goodies you have lined up now will be awesome...I do believe you are ready to rock.
What a shame....I know this is start up time for a new season.....but dang, these guys are old pro's man.
I think I have pizza overload. My daughter returned home from the shore earlier than I thought she would. She brought me a whole Macks pizza home. My daughter said two slices of pizza she ate at Macks were burnt on the bottom and sure didnt taste like it used to. She just ate two slices since she came home and said the pizza she brought home was better than the fresh slices she had at Macks. For me, the Macks pizza doesnt taste as good as it once did. The crumb tasted bready to me when I tasted it tonight. The rim crust is flatter than I recalled too. The cheese tastes good and was buttery, but didnt have the tang that I recall. I check how thin the sauce must be applied and the sauce sure looks like it is spread on thin. Macks TF is really low.Norma
Maybe Macks is having the same problem that we are! Getting the right cheese that has that tang.
