Verizon Offering iPad 3 Online, Offline This Friday
On Tuesday Verizon Wireless announced that it will offer Apple's new iPad (3) with Wi-Fi + 4G nationwide on Friday, March 16. All three models will supposedly be available at launch --16 GB, 32 GB and 64 GB -- with "a range of attractive data plans." Tablet pricing starts at $629.99 USD whereas data plans start at $30 USD.
"Customers have been enthusiastic over the iPad on our 3G network and we expect even more excitement for the new iPad with Wi-Fi + 4G on the Verizon Wireless 4G LTE network," said Tami Erwin, vice president and chief marketing officer for Verizon Wireless. With more and more customers depending on their iPad for business, as well as personal use, it is important that they have a network that delivers high speed and reliability, nationwide."
Verizon also said that it will support the new tablet's Personal Hotspot feature, meaning owners will be able to share the iPad's 4G LTE connection with up to 5 additional devices using Wi-Fi, Bluetooth or USB connections. As previously reported, other iPad features include the super-sharp Retina display, Apple's A5X SoC with quad-core graphics, a 5MP iSight camera, a 10-hour battery life and more.
Postpaid data packages start at $30 for 2 GB per month, and includes a 5 GB allowance for $50 per month and a 10 GB allowance for $80 per month. The rate after the monthly allowance is $10 for every 1 GB. As for the tablets, it's business as usual with a $629.99 pricetag for the 16 GB model, $729.99 for the 32 GB model and $829.99 for the 64 GB model.
Customers can buy the new iPad at all Verizon Wireless Communications Stores and online at verizonwireless.com/ipad beginning Friday, March 16. Yet given that Apple sold out of pre-order units online in no time at all, we're betting the same will happen with Verizon.
"Customer response to the new iPad has been off the charts," an Apple spokeswoman said on Sunday. Currently potential consumers can purchase the new tablet through Apple's brick-and-mortar stores, but chances they'll need to camp out now to even get a chance of obtaining the highly coveted gadget. Will that hold true with Verizon's stock as well?
halcyonWhile I understand that many are excited about any news surrounding Apple or its wares I don't believe many of THG's readers belong in that group.
The 3rd generation iPad is a much anticipated device by a lot of people. I feel for the readers of THG that are prejudiced against Apple or just don't care for/dislike the company (for whatever reason) and don't want to see any news regarding Apple.
However, as you know, Apple is a tech company and they sell wares that man many many seem to enjoy so I can only suggest that if you dislike Apple or the news surrounding them that you ignore it. ...as I don't imagine THG is going to censor/filter what they publish to accommodate you anytime soon.

A 19-year-old woman was flown to University Hospital in Louisville on Monday after being impaled by a tree branch when she jumped into Taylorsville Lake.
The Taylorsville-Spencer County Economic Development Authority went from being funded, to not funded, then back to being funded again in a matter of minutes at last Tuesday's Taylorsville City Commission meeting.
A little more than 24 hours after having its funding chopped out of the county budget by the Spencer County Fiscal Court, the EDA was on the agenda to find out its fate from the city.
The proposed city budget for the 2011-12 fiscal year included $30,000 for the EDA.
A grim economy coupled with state budget shortfalls will continue to put a financial strain on the Spencer County School District's budget in the coming year.
The Board of Education approved the district's 2011-2012 tentative budget at its May meeting – a $24.3 million plan for operating the district, its five schools and 420 contracted employees.
The following property transfers were recently collected at the Spencer County Clerk's Office:
James P. Chinn and Angela A. Chinn, Taylorsville, to Leldon H. Lockart aka Leldon H. Lockart Jr. and Renee M. Lockart, Taylorsville, a 15.10 acre tract on Elk Creek Road, as described in deed book 238 page 111, $350,000.
Land Inc., Brandenburg, to Denise L. Epperson, Louisville, 10 acres known as tract 5 of the Smith-Snyder Farm Division, as described in deed book 238 page 119, $67,000 cash in hand.
The Beard family and related lines have been around Spencer and Nelson counties for a mighty long time. In The Terre Haute (Indiana) Morning Star, Oct. 17, 1904, there appeared a tribute to John L. Beard, 80, and his wife Judith Frances Wells, 75, who had been married for 56 years.
In a copy of the newspaper appears a picture of the couple, but because of the age of the paper, the photograph is not very sharp. The couple lived in Vigo County, Ind.
Curt Barnett first heard mention of worm composting in the movie "Dumb and Dumber." After noticing a couple other references, Barnett's interest was piqued.
As summer's wool blanket settles onto Kentucky from asphalt to tobacco base – some call it HHH, we look across the sports landscape and see ...
1. Could be big impact news for fans in Kentucky. In negotiations for a new contract, the NBA Players Union is reportedly agreeable to adjusting the age limit for entry from 19 to 18 again. High school graduates could go straight to the NBA draft ... OR commit to play college basketball for more than one year. Number on the table is two.
Evan McKinney of Taylorsville takes his turn during Saturday's mud bog in Lawrenceburg to benefit the Anderson County Sheriff's Office's Shop With a Cop program as well as the Kentucky Sheriff's Association's Boys and Girls Camp. Another Taylorsville resident, David Stevens, won the event's 44-inch tire class in his truck named Bow Tie Bogger.
On Saturday, the undefeated Hot Rods played the Reds at Ray Jewell park.
With the Reds leading the game in the last inning, hoping to give the Hot Rods their first loss of the season, Caleb Gettinger stole home to tie the game in the last inning to send the game into overtime.
Wyatt DeRudder, son of Coach Trent Derudder, then hit an infield home run to win the game for the Hot Rods.
The final score was 13 to 12.
The just completed 2010-11 school year proved that Spencer County is ready to be a contender in several sports at the region level.

Quite a few years ago, I created an Oracle/Java system for a client that supported only a handful of users, but did quite a bit of processing. Years later, and after an upgrade or two, I revisited that same system. Things had slowed quite a bit and since I happened to be re-reading Cary Millsap's Optimizing Oracle Performance at the time, I decided to use his performance methodology to attempt to tune the system. The client had no budget for any of Oracle's performance tuning packs or Method R tools. However, by simply turning on extended tracing and applying the methodology in Cary's book, I was able to fine-tune the system and easily spot the problem areas. One portion that involved fairly involved processing and generated thousands of PDFs was reduced from taking 13–16 minutes, to 26 seconds! The biggest surprise for me was how relevant the book still is, even with 10g and 11g. Thanks for a great book! Maybe I'll convince them to buy Method R tools for 12c… ;)

From http://www.hosierytips.com/:
"A lady wearing suntan pantyhose is found to be more attractive to men, according to psychologist at the University of Rochester, men like pantyhose.
Researchers conducted six experiments to see how pantyhose affected men, measurements were even taken in ways they didn't even realize revealing men like pantyhose per the following below.
"Besides the general trend regarding the forsakening of pantyhose to go bare legged, something as ubiquitous as pantyhose can have an extremely powerful effect on our behavior without our awareness," said a psychologist from Rochester.
You could take men's reactions to like pantyhose and mark it up to the way society in the past has viewed ladies in pantyhose, but the researchers feel if most likely comes from deep biological roots.
The experiments included showing men pictures of ladies in a cute outfit for the evening with either pantyhose or bare legs and asking which did the men find more attractive. Once the men were asked to pick which they found more prettier, then a new set of pictures were shown and then the men were asked who would they spend more money on a date with.
Despite women saying pantyhose are uncomfortable and do not fit, it is plain to see men cannot help but find ladies in pantyhose more attractive, even if they verbally do not acknowledging that fact. In our final conclusion, Ladies should start looking into higher quality pantyhose in the right size to get a jump on their competition, when it comes to men in the single scene. Men like pantyhose on women, but avoid confrontations with their female companion regarding the issue. They would rather catch a glimpse of a female that wears pantyhose by choice."

Walter Brasch: After significant compromise with the recalcitrant Republicans who want to continue to give the wealthy tax advantages while cutting significant social programs, President Obama has finally taken a stand on debt ceiling negotiations. However, in labor, wildlife management, and the environment he is still compromising rather than coming out forcefully for the principles he and the working class and environmentalists believe.
Author Spotlight: Georgianne Nienaber
To kick off what we hope will be a year-long series to highlight the work our many fine writers contribute to the LA Progressive, we'd like to give you a fuller view of Georgianne Nienaber's life and work.
Mary Landrieu Goes to Bat for Louisiana's Wetlands
Georgianne Nienaber: Landrieu did not mince words, blaming the federal government for malfeasance and mismanagement of a delicate ecosystem that has placed the Mississippi River Delta at "extreme risk of complete and utter collapse."
What's the Deal With the Water in Orange Beach Alabama?
Georgianne Nienaber: There is no doubt that BP lied about the amount of oil being spewed into the Gulf of Mexico from Day One, no doubt that the EPA has obfuscated issues surrounding the use of the chemical dispersant, Corexit, and no doubt that bloggers have gone entirely beyond the tenets of responsible journalism.
A Smeller for the Empire: Gimbling in the Wabe
Gary Corseri: My house is foreclosed on, my job is outsourced, and my wife runs away with a banker. So…,I figure there's nothing left to do but pack up the old mini-van, head on down to New Orleans and start a new life as a singer of blues. My border collie, Woof, rides shotgun, his handsome muzzle sticking part way out the window.
Gulf Dispersants
Georgianne Nienaber: So, dispersants are clearly present in the air, both over sea and land. If Unified Command is suggesting that oil spill responders might want to reconsider using respirators, why have we been told by the EPA, at a press conference, that there are no dispersants in the air?
Exploit This Tragedy
Tina Dupuy: The "don't exploit this tragedy" knee-jerk catch-all phrase is absolutely meaningless. In American politics, we rule by crisis. There is no political will to act unless something is burning, melting or spewing. We don't plan for the future – we brace for it.
Ten Thousand Shovels, Ten Thousand Buckets!
Steve Ybarra: Let us get serious here. If BP was interested in doing the right thing, it wouldn't take them over a month to get started fixing the damage caused by their greed. Meanwhile they have allowed the continuous destruction of the entire East Coast and Gulf Coast, including all fishing and sea-related industries. Indirectly, I am impacted, because the price of California fish just went up through the roof.
Call for Social Networking Reports on Deepwater Horizon Oil Impacts
Georgianne Nienaber: Social networking may turn out to be the first line of defense against public relations spin by providing real time gathering of data on the massive river of oil flowing into the Gulf of Mexico from the Transocean/Deepwater Horizon well explosion. Maps generated by satellite and "predictions" are only so valuable. One of the tenets of remote sensing is that "ground truthing" be a mandatory part of the equation. Truth is the operative word here as Gulf Coast residents face an unprecedented environmental disaster.

Painting a new steel exterior door
Recently I painted a new exterior door , the door had a matte finish, which I assumed was a primer. I applied one coat of a semi gloss exterior latex to see if we liked the colour we had chosen.
A couple of days later I noticed a few spots where the new paint was missing.
Any thoughts where I went wrong ?
Did you degrease it first? Any place there was hand prints or oils from manufacturing are not going to stick.
Did you paint it the required two coats on all sides not just the face and two sides.
You did use an acrilic latex paint right? The type of paint to use should have been written right on the stick on the door.
Also you did not paint it a really dark color if this door gets direct sun did you?
That info should have also been right on the sticker.
Just sounds like you missed a few spots. Apply a second or even a third coat to get better coverage.
I have never trusted factory primers on things like new steel doors and always put a nice coat of something I trusted on them first. Not much you can do now though but add another finish coat. Two coats of finish is the industry standard you will hear some of us preach. The first coat might cover color wise but you can only build up the needed paint film thickness with a second coat. There is no such thing as one coat coverage or primer and paint in the same can.
You are using real paint store and not some crappy box store paint right?
What are the odds?

The effect of thermal history (16 and 20°C) on growth of juvenile turbot, Scophthalmus maximus (initial mean weight 72.6 g, n = 157) was studied. Fish were divided into four groups, two groups remaining at constant temperature (C16, C20), while fish in the other groups were transferred from either 16 to 20°C (F16-20) or from 20 to 16°C (F20-16). Between 35 and 42 fish in each tank were individually tagged at the start of the experiment. The final mean weights were significantly higher in the F20-16 group (230 g) than in the C20 (213 g), F16-20 (211 g) and C16 (205 g) groups. The overall growth rate was highest in the F20-16 group (1.17% day−1) but comparable in the three other groups (1.00–1.04% day−1). Our findings indicate that, even at near-optimal temperature for a given size, the temperature history of the fish may influence future growth. Based on these indications, we conclude that as turbot grow larger, the temperature should be reduced to take advantage of the change in optimal temperature for growth with increasing fish size rather than rearing at constant temperatures.

This leg of the tour is approximately 45 miles long and takes around 5 hours and 45 minutes to complete. With stunning scenery in all directions, the Black Isle is not actually an island, but a peninsula. The exact origin of the name is unknown, but could be associated with witchcraft in medieval times. En route you will pass through Tain, Nigg and Cromarty, giving you plenty of opportunities to stop for something to eat at the many pubs and cafes. This part of the tour is rich in Pictish history, with the pretty towns and villages en route linked by the 'Pictish Trail'. The trail gives you the opportunity to visit ancient Pictish standing stones carved with unique symbols. Other than these distinct symbols etched into stone and jewellery, very little is known about the history of the Picts as very few written records survive, but it is thought that they lived in the area during and shortly after the Romans ruled Britain. Tain is Scotland's oldest royal burgh with a charter dating from 1066. If you have time, do check out the town's stunning architecture. Perhaps the highlight of any tour around the Black Isle is the possibility of spotting dolphins and seals playing in Rosemarkie Bay, and the end of the route gives you the opportunity to pitch your tent on the shores of the bay, relax and watch the sea. Full step-by-step instructions of the route can be downloaded below, and the map above illustrates the route you will be taking on the third day of your holiday.

We caught a swarm yesterday and were out checking on it when we noticed another one of of hives had large amounts of bees collecting on the ground before the hive. They are all alive and starting to kind of clump together.
I apologize I have tried to attach a photo but it doesn't seem to be working
We are really new to beekeeping and aren't sure if this is the beginning of swarm or something else. Any advice or ideas would be appreciated.

The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) published the fifth edition of Global Trends in Renewable Energy Investment, finding investment in solar energy jumped 52% to €117 billion ($147 billion) in 2011, attracting nearly twice as much as wind.
A massive increase in solar power helped renewable energy investments surge to a record €204 billion ($257 billion), despite falling equipment prices and severe budgetary restrictions.
Investment last year reached more than six times the level for 2004 and almost twice the total investment seen in 2007, the last year before the global financial crisis.
However, the 17% year-on-year increase in investment was markedly down on the 37% growth recorded in 2010 and the €204 billion ($257 billion) if new spending fell short of the €240 billion ($302 billion) invested in new fossil fuel capacity, bringing to an end a period during which renewable energy attracted the bulk of new energy investment.
This rise helped to add some 30GW (GigaWatt) of capacity over the year, a huge 74% increase on the global total, which now stands at 69GW. It also meant solar photovoltaic accounted for more capacity additions in the EU than any other technology for the first time ever.
Across Europe, renewables as a whole accounted for more than 71% of total new electricity capacity additions in 2011, swelling renewables total share of electricity capacity to over 31%.
Worldwide, renewable energy sources have grown to supply almost 17% of global final energy consumption, fairly evenly split between modern renewable technology and traditional biomass burning activities, according to the Renewables 2012 Global Status Report. In total, almost half of the estimated 208GW of electricity capacity added globally during the year was in renewables.

Voicing concerns
Page Tools
Playing for political points during a campaign is one of the oldest games in democracy. But it should be played according to the rules - especially ethical ones. Peter Sheppard, the national president of the Australian Retailers Association and a candidate for Melbourne's mayor in the forthcoming council elections, has shown astonishing insensitivity in criticising the accent of the incumbent, John So, saying his English is not good enough and embarrassing for the city. To be critical of an opponent's public record is part of the political process; but to belittle someone purely in terms of how he speaks is veering dangerously close to the sort of comments left behind on the goldfields of the 1850s, and which have no place in modern, multicultural society. Fortunately, many community leaders, including acting Premier John Thwaites and Opposition Leader Robert Doyle, have been quick to condemn Mr Sheppard's comments. Cr So has responded with dignity, saying people should judge him on his political performance rather than the way he speaks. Yet Mr Sheppard persists, describing Cr So's diction as "20 consonants short in his alphabet". The person who stands to lose the most from this illogical and ill-founded smear campaign is Mr Sheppard himself. His electorate includes many voters of Chinese descent who may well see his utterances as offensive.

Nobody 'Nose' Better Than Dr. Varkony! - Beverly Hills, CA
After researching cosmetic surgeons I came across Dr. Varkony because I was interested in nasal re-contouring. I scheduled a consultation to meet with him and see if it was right for me. Dr. Varkony explained everything to me very professionally making me feel comfortable about the procedure. I was hesitant as anyone having surgery would be but he made me feel at ease and I discussed the overall changes I wanted to the look of my nose as well. I used to have a hump at the bridge of my nose and it was droopy at the tip. The consultation was free, the price of the procedure was straight forward and Dr. Varkony's staff was very helpful every step of the way. I can't thank him enough. Dr. Varkony, as well as his assistant Andrea have been very friendly and personable with following up with me as I recover. Anyone who is interested in changing the look of their nose I highly recommend Dr. Varkony!

Prime Minister Stephen Harper has moved to fill two Supreme Court of Canada vacancies by nominating Mr. Justice Michael Moldaver, an outspoken Ontario appellate judge with vast experience in criminal law, and a former senior civil servant – Madam Justice Andromache Karakatsanis.
Judge Karakatsanis, who is fluent in English, French and Greek, would be the Supreme Court's first Greek-Canadian judge. Her appointment would forestall feminist criticism by maintaining the court's complement of female judges at four.
Judge Moldaver's nomination will be particularly applauded in the law enforcement community. It will also score points for Mr. Harper in the Jewish community, which he has courted politically.
"Both Justice Karakatsanis and Justice Moldaver's candidacies were examined through a comprehensive process," said Prime Minister Harper in a release. "Madam Justice Karakatsanis and Mr. Justice Moldaver are exceptional candidates who have the skills and qualifications necessary to serve Canadians as judges of the Supreme Court of Canada."
A judge who typically does not believe in striking down legislation, Judge Moldaver has publicly decried a proliferation of litigation under the Charter of Rights. Both factors make him an ideal nominee for a government with an ambitious law and order agenda.
The slow-paced search to replace retiring judges Ian Binnie and Louise Charron must go through one final stage. They will appear before a parliamentary committee to answer questions from MPs on Wednesday.
The Parliamentary committee that will question them has no power to reject the nominees, so their appointment is virtually certain.
While neither appointee comes as a surprise, both are likely to come under criticism for certain perceived vulnerabilities.
Having spent her career as a top civil servant, Judge Karakatsanis has vast administrative experience but little in the realities of a law practice. Her career on the bench has been short and she has produced little in the way of significant or memorable jurisprudence.
Her nomination is also likely to come under fire because of her close connections to powerful Conservatives – most notably, Finance Minister James Flaherty, with whom she worked closely when he was Ontario's attorney-general.
Judge Moldaver's inability to speak French is sure to provoke a degree of controversy, as will a public stance he has taken against courtroom strategies he perceives as wasting court resources and bringing the Charter of Rights into disrepute.
Judge Binnie had been appointed directly from a thriving practice at a Bay Street law firm. The fact that the court will now have no lawyers coming direct from practice will be a cause of dismay to those who believe the Court tends to be out of touch with the realities of practice.
Judge Charron was one of the court's only criminal law experts, while Judge Binnie acquired considerable expertise in the area. The fact that only one of their replacements is steeped in criminal law constitutes a modest setback for the court.
Replacing Judge Binnie and Judge Charron with the two new nominees will not create any seismic shifts in the Court, said Allan Hutchinson, a law professor at York University's Osgoode Hall law school. "These are clearly small 'c' conservatives and will do little to change the general direction of the court, other than to consolidate its right/centre orientation," he said.
Justice Karakatsanis is largely an unknown quantity, Prof. Hutchinson said. "Their nominations will go through, but Karakatsanis could be challenged as she has little to recommend her as a Supreme Court of Canada judge other than her political connections," he said. "She has no real judicial experience and has done little to make her mark on the Ontario Court of Appeal.
"Her appointment is a clear Conservative appointment with a nod to the women and ethnic lobby, but it is hard to imagine her doing much progressive for those groups."
Prof Hutchinson said that Judge Moldaver has a strong record on criminal law and is a natural replacement for someone with Judge Charron's conservative leanings: "He brings to the courts a law-and-order orientation that will not always play out the way some Conservatives might hope," he said.
Adam Dodek, a University of Ottawa law professor, said that the two appointees will not tilt the balance of the Court in any particular direction.
"These are solid, stay-the-course, appointments for the PM," Prof. Dodek said. "These are two judges with stellar reputations, first class intellects and strong judicial records."
Judge Karakatsanis began practicing law in 1982 after spending a year as law clerk to the Chief Justice of Ontario. She worked in criminal, civil and family litigation in a small Toronto firm.
From 1988 to 1995, she was chair and chief executive officer of the Liquor Licence Board of Ontario.
Her next administrative role was as Secretary of the Ontario Native Affairs Secretariat. Two years later, in 1997, she became deputy attorney-general.
In 2000, she rose to be Secretary of the Ontario Cabinet and Clerk of the Executive Council during the Mike Harris Conservative government. As the senior public servant in Ontario, she held a dominant leadership position over the province's deputy ministers and the public service.
Judge Karakatsanis was appointed to Superior Court of Ontario in 2002 and served as Administrative Judge for the Small Claims Court in Toronto. She was elevated to the Ontario Court of Appeal last year.
Judge Karakatsanis has also been actively involved in the administrative justice education and reform issues.
In contrast to Judge Karakatsanis, Judge Moldaver – a former law partner of legendary defence lawyer Edward Greenspan – has no apparent connections to the Conservative government.
Known to his colleagues as friendly, self-effacing and given to straight talk, Judge Moldaver's questions during appeal hearings are often blunt and drive straight to the heart of what is bothering him. As a Supreme Court judge, he would be a commanding presence in the courtroom, frequently interjecting with incisive questions and to prod lawyers toward key legal points.
Any opposition to Judge Moldaver's appointment is likely to come from the defence bar, which has been stung by his allegations that some defence lawyers elongate trials in order to milk legal aid programs.
The defence bar accuses Judge Moldaver of harbouring overinflated fears about violent crime and inaccurately portraying police as handcuffed by evidentiary rules.
"Believe it or not, I worry about the public loss of respect for the Charter," he said at a legal symposium in 2009, citing cases where society is effectively punished for the misdeeds of overzealous police officers.
His mission to fight courtroom inefficiencies commenced about five years ago, when Judge Moldaver lashed out at long Charter motions and accused some defence counsel of "pilfering precious legal aid funds," and of hijacking trials that end up in long-running constitutional battles over evidence.
Paul Burstein, president of the Criminal Lawyers Association, said that Judge Moldaver's positive contributions to criminal law must be kept in mind.
"He has always been an ardent defender of the factually innocent," Mr. Burstein said. "Many of his early judgments on the Court of Appeal exhibited a courageous defence of civil liberties and an appreciation of their importance to a free and democratic society."
Judge Moldaver developed a distinct ideology in recent years that unfairly maligned defence counsel and their responsibility for overly-long trials, he said: "Hopefully, we will now see a return to his earlier way of thinking about criminal justice and the Charter."
Mr. Burstein said that Judge Karakatsanis remains an unknown quantity when it comes to civil liberties and criminal justice. In one of her few significant decisions, Mr. Burstein said that Judge Karakatsanis spoke strongly in favour of privacy rights when it comes to material in computers.
"It was unfortunately tempered by compromise on the judicial enforcement of that right," he added.
Coming at a time when defence counsel felt they have been scapegoated for the legal-aid system's continuing woes, the defence bar denounced Judge Moldaver's criticisms as an unmeasured rant that was replete with inaccuracies and false stereotypes.
How could a one-time defence lawyer be so hard on his own? Queen's University law professor Don Stuart offered a theory that his practice had been composed largely of blue-chip clients, setting it apart from the world most defence lawyers inhabit.
"Being a defence lawyer is a very hard job," Prof. Stuart said at the time. "If you are already feeling strapped by your job and you hear someone as important as Michael Moldaver criticizing you, you can feel pretty hurt."
Veteran defence lawyers Alan Gold and Frank Addario adopted a different stance. "The reason most defence counsel are insulted by Moldaver's speech is that to he failed to identify the real cause of the problem," they wrote in a newspaper column.
"He dismissed the chronic underfunding of the justice system as irrelevant. Yet, each year lawyers and judges are asked to produce the same high quality justice with less money."
Since Crown conferences are not open to the public, what is much less known is that Judge Moldaver has also castigated prosecutors for stretching out trials unnecessarily by fighting hard for the admissibility of marginal evidence.
In a speech to judicial colleagues in 2006, Judge Moldaver vowed not to be deterred by a backlash to his campaign for a return to trial sanity.
"We can throw up our hands in despair and cry: 'C'est la guerre,' or, we can come together and say: 'We are mad as hell and we are not going to take it any more,'" he said, in a copy of his speech obtained by the Globe and Mail.
On the Court of Appeal, he frequently sits on high profile or complex cases. Earlier this year, for example, he opted to deny doctors their wish to unilaterally pull the plug on a patient they deem beyond medical help.
He also played an instrumental role in two historic cases involving convicted killers Stephen Truscott and Romeo Phillion. Both men were found to have been wrongly convicted because of faulty evidence, prosecutorial overzealousness and police error.
Judge Moldaver's tough-on-crime reputation is partly founded in his approach to punishment. Last year, for example, he drastically increasing the sentences of the a group of terrorists convicted under new anti-terrorism legislation.
More recently, he ratcheted up the sentence of a man convicted of luring a 12-year-old girl over the Internet, a welcome decision to the Harper government that created the law.
"The offence of luring carries very real dangers – innocent children being seduced and sexually assaulted or even worse, kidnapped, sexually abused and possibly killed," Judge Moldaver said in the case, R v Woodward.
At the same time, however, Judge Moldaver sometimes opts for leniency in cases where individuals with no history of criminality make uncharacteristic errors of judgment.
In an important case last spring, for example, he took the position that mothers who kill their infants while in the grips of a mental disturbance deserve leniency instead of automatic life sentences for murder the Crown had sought.
In legal circles, there will be considerable shock that a front-runner for the job – Ontario Court of Appeal Judge Robert Sharpe – was not one of the nominees. A perception that he too often takes a tough line against the Crown may have been his undoing.
Married three times, Judge Moldaver graduated from the University of Toronto law school in 1971. He began practicing with Mr. Greenspan two years later and was appointed to the Supreme Court of Ontario in April 1990. He was elevated to the Ontario Court of Appeal in 1995.
A one-time co-chair of the Canadian Bar Association and a director of the Advocates' Society, Judge Moldaver is well known in judicial and legal ranks. He has an abiding interest in judicial education and is in much demand at judicial seminars and Crown Attorney education sessions.

All Blacks 26
France 19
Raw courage, a bit of luck and some magic from Charlie Piutau saw the All Blacks cling on to victory this morning in Paris.
And they really were clinging. A finger grip is all they had in the final minutes as France threw the kitchen sink at them and came so, so close to scoring the points they would have needed to have at least drawn.
They were over the line at one point but couldn't get the ball down. From the ensuing five metre scrum there was every prospect of them scoring again. They owned the scrums all night. The All Blacks had another bad night at the set-piece - a dangerously bad one where they would split a few times and left with no option but to pull it down.
Somehow they escaped, though. Their bravery in defence enough to hold the French out and the final whistle couldn't come quickly enough.
The strange thing was that for the early part of the second half it didn't feel like it was going to be such a struggle.
In the first half yes. France were romping all over Stade de France to resounding cheers of allez Blues and oompah bands giving it heaps when, boom, boom the All Blacks flicked a switch and took control of the game.
That's how it often is in this part of the world. The home side, as France did, dominate for 40 minutes, maybe even 50 and then they begin to fray at the edges.
It was a five minutes blast on 50 minutes that turned things around. Dan Carter slotted his fourth penalty and then Charles Piutau produced two stunning pieces of magic.
The first saw him beat the cover defence to a Cory Jane kick, hack it over the line and control it for the try. The second was equally sublime, a reverse pass out of contact straight into Kieran Read's bread basket leaving the No 8 with an easy romp home.
So much hard work by France, so much possession and territory and in two lightning strikes the All Blacks had the game in their grasp. It was never easy. The All Blacks never had their foot on the throat as such, but they had the buffer from there.
They needed it too. France didn't unravel. They were all flow and movement. Wesley Fofana came to life as he's prone to do and holes appeared. The French defence was also a factor all night. Structurally they were clever in the way they chased kicks so well across the field and funnelled the All Blacks into places where they didn't want to be.
As for their tackling - it was thunderous all night. They barely missed and there were a few that some All Blacks will still be feeling later in the week.
France played with all the passion that was expected and none of the inaccuracy that often comes on those nights when they are emotionally charged. There was rhythm and purpose about their work - especially around the fringes of the breakdown where they off-loaded and recycled with precision and pace.
The All Blacks spend much of the first half scrambling as a consequence and their cause was not helped by a defensive effort that had a foot at either end of the spectrum.
There were too many missed first up tackles but some outrageously good make-up defence where French bodies were smashed after they had broken the line.
But in the end it was enough. It wasn't emphatic or overly convincing but it was enough.
France 19 (B. Dulin try; M. Parra 4 pens, con)
New Zealand 26 (C. Piutau, K. Read tries; D. Carter 4 pens, con; A. Cruden con)

The Pond
Short Story by: Verbatiam
Status: Finished
Genre: Fantasy
The Pond
With a sigh the world ended. The last of earth's beings ceased to be and the world closed its latest chapter. The fault, as it always did, lay with the conscious ones, the ones who thought themselves apart from the natural order and who spent their time picking at the base until it crumbled and took them with it. This shouldn't sadden me, I had watched the cycle many times from its beginnings in my home.
In a moment the cycle had begun again, the tiny water creatures began to spawn. They fed on each other and the ones who survived grew stronger, they didn't question the world yet, but it would come.
They began to rise from their watery homes, first it was only those who needed protection from the stronger ones, but soon others followed them, to hunt, to survive. Now they saw more of the world, more of its extremes, but they battled against them and some won out.
Now strengths began to show, some became quiet, fast and deadly. Some grew large and let fear of their might protect them. Other allied themselves with more of their kind. The few that were left became something different; they allowed their minds to grow, to reach the far branches for them, to move the immovable. These were the ones who believed themselves different; soon the minds would begin to reach too far.
Next the conscious ones began to do what the others could not. They began to take nature and bend her to their will, they needed heat so they burnt her, they needed shelter so they cut her, and they needed sustenance so they farmed her. Their greatest accomplishments did exactly what they shouldn't have done, it set them apart from her children and they left her protection.
As with many tribe creatures they had disagreements, and originally they settled them as animals did, the stronger passed judgement over the smaller and his ruling was final. The more they developed the difficult they made it for themselves, the leader had to become what he had never been, likable, the public had to be on his side on everything or they would abandon him. Now they had almost stretched too far, soon they would grab at a flawed hold.
War, this was their greatest affront, they attacked and killed, not only each other but all that surrounded them. Soon vast stretches became wasteland in the true sense of the word, not even the tiniest of organisms could survive in these sores upon the land. They declared that they fought for freedom, for justice, for god. Yet soon even they began to see their doom unfolding.
Once more oblivion called to the creatures of earth, and again they heeded its call. What starts this chain of events? Which link would I have to break for them to be safe? To be protect them from themselves. I knew what I would do this cycle; I would keep them here with me. For eternity they would stay in the darkness of the Pond.

Click here for more Caribou photos from last week's show
All signs surrounding Caribou's sold-out Middle East gig hinted that
summer may finally be upon us: a humidity-free week that gave way to a
comfortable Thursday evening, a blissful opening set from Toro Y Moi,
and a back catalogue that exudes imagery of pleasant days ahead.And
when Caribou kicked off their set with "Sundialing," it almost seemed
as if they were content with riding out the laidback vibe. That is,
until they stepped out of their warm-up and into "Leave House" from his
most recent album Swim. Quickly, it became clear where Dan
Snaith's head was at when forsaking his trademark dream pop overtones
in favor of an album's worth of material that aches to be given a run
on the dance floor. It was as if we'd all been suddenly transplanted
from Cambridge to the dankest, dingiest Euro club imaginable. Okay,
admittedly a gross overstatement, because the too-cool-to-move crowd
still took a while to come around to the pulsations emanating from the
stage. Swim formed the focal point in their 75-minute set,
as Caribou cranked through all nine of the album's assaulting tracks
while sprinkling in a couple of choice cuts ("Melody Day", "After
Hours") from previous efforts. Snaith took on the role of jack-of-odd
trades, handling a synth setup, vocals, guitar, tambourine, cabasa, and
even a recorder he broke out for a solo during "Odessa". But any review
pertaining to Caribou's live performance would be remiss to mention the
drums -- lead drummer Brad Weber is an absolute machine. The show's
high points arrived during the middle of a few of the more rhythmic
numbers, when Snaith would crouch behind his own mini-kit and the two
would sync to create a percussive onslaught while the guitarist and
bassist built toward a reverberated peak before dropping back into the
chorus, baiting the crowd into a frenzy without fail.

Jamie's MOF Bradford celebrates Food Rev Day 2013
Thu 27th Jun 2013 11:27 |
More Food Revolution Day news ïÿý this time from our friends at Jamieïÿýs Ministry of Food in Bradford. Andy writes:
We had a really good day for FRD2013 in Bradford. We set up some Marquees opposite the food centre and had some local partners who exhibited with us. Cafe West had a stand discussing the Eat Well plate and the importance of a balanced meal and The Hale project were talking about diabetes prevention. The local EHO were there to discuss the importance of food hygiene and having a clean kitchen and Foster College had a stand advertising their teaching college and training restaurant that is in the town centre.
Jamieïÿýs Ministry of Food Bradford decided to challenge the Fast Food mentality that seems prevalent in Bradford. We made over 100 Burger Sliders, using Jamieïÿýs Cracking Burger recipe and handed them out to members of the public. We used the burger to emphasise how easy it is to make a really amazing burger, that is cheaper, healthier and tastes better than ANYTHING that you could buy locally. We challenged anyone to bring us a burger of their choice and we would compare ours, confident that we knew that ours would be a better burger. Iïÿým glad to say that nobody took us up on the challenge. We also spent time talking with a group of kids from Carlton Bolling College of the importance of a balanced diet and how too much junk food isnïÿýt good for you. They all tried a burger and helped us outside the food centre telling others about the things they had learnt whilst attending the 8 week course.
We also made two huge portions of veg chilli and gave out samples for people to try. Between 12 and 1.00pm we had more than 100 people outside the food centre looking to try a sample of the great food that we had produced. All feed back was very favourable and we had to take care making sure that people didnïÿýt sneak double portions. We also made available a special offer for people who were interested in signing up on a course. If they signed up on FRD2013 we gave them a MOF goody bag with a pen and a mug and we had more than 10 people sign up for forthcoming classes.
It was a really good day and we were really glad to be part of such an amazing global initiative.
Discuss cooking and more.

Not that good 12/12/2007
This review is from: NETGEAR 8 Port Gigabit High Performance Desktop Switch (GS608)
Cheap, works... for awhile.
Although power protected using a UPS with AVR, well ventilated and utilized way under capacity, this switch toasted itself less than 2 years after purchase. Netgear's warranty doesn't cover it. Thing just stopped working one day, done, no power up, reset or LED's...
Other Thoughts:
nothing except more ewaste from the east. thanks netgear :-(

Menard stops Dardar
By Damien St. Pierre / gulfcoastboxing.com
For the first time in recent memory, a Louisiana state title has been defended and last Thursday night in Rayne, Louisiana it was defended successfully. "Rock Hard Mighty" Mason Menard captured his 10th victory as a professional by beating down a very game Thomas Dardar, of Golden Meadow, Louisiana (8-2) over four rounds.
Menard, 15 years younger than his opponent, started out strong and set a fast pace that Dardar simply could not keep up with. Menard turned it on in at the end of the opening round and would knock Dardar down twice in the 2nd round and again in the 4th, to his credit Dardar did get up on all three occasions. The very accurate and quick Menard forced Dardar's corner to stop the bout before the bell of the 5th round sounded.
Menard a Rayne, Louisiana native, has now won 8 straight bouts and holds the Louisiana state lightweight title.
* * *
Memphis, Tennessee's Bobby "The Prodigy" Bryant was forced to go the distance for the first time in his very short professional career. Bryant, (3-0) pummeled Mobile, Alabama's Ricky Dinkins for 4 rounds. Bryant showed flashes of what could be a very bright future. Dinkins was down in round 1. Scores were 40-36, 40-35 and 40-34 across the board.
* * *
Undefeated Jarred "Lethal Weapon" LeBlanc (12-0) of nearby Breaux Bridge, Louisiana made easy work of Brooklyn, New York's Rohan Nanton (7-25-1). LeBlanc dominated from the opening bell finally stopped Nanton 1:26 into the 2nd round of a scheduled 6 round bout.
* * *
Local super middleweight "The" Todd Manuel (2-0) won his second professional bout in as many tries with a workman like 4 round unanimous decision victory over William "Poison Pete" Johnson of Sardis, Mississippi. Scores were 40-36, 40-36 and 39-37.
* * *
In an all out war Lafayette, Louisiana's Jesse Patin (3-1) recovered from a brutal 1st round knockdown to score a brutal 3rd round knockout of the tough Tyrone Dowdy of Memphis, Tennessee. Patin was floored from straight right hand thrown by Dowdy and somehow got up only to be knocked down again. In the 3rd round Patin came out slugging and caught Dowdy with hard right hands and left hooks. Dowdy would go down three times in the round and the third he could not recover. Time of the stoppage was 2:40 into round 3.
* * *
Former University of Louisiana at Lafayette defensive back Bailey Bobbitt (1-0) had a very successful debut against fellow debut boxer Robert Hoyt (0-1) of Waveland, Mississippi. Hoyt was knocked down twice and the bout was waived off 1:05 of the 1st round.

Hi Guys,
I have a BMW e46 320cd se model with 18" m sport alloys. I love the look of the car but can't helping it would look slightly better lower to the ground. Is this possible. The reason I never went for the m sport was I got low mileage diesel se model and having 6 points the insurance worked out at £450 cheaper!. Any suggestions if this could be done and cost or is it a waste of time?
Thanks in advance

Whenever new opinion data about young people is released, there's a frenzy to figure out what it all means. Such is the case with the latest Harvard University poll showing Obama's approval dropping among 18-29 year olds – 11 pts in the last six months.
Here's how the director of the Harvard institute that conducted the poll sums up the results:
Young Americans hold the president, Congress, and the federal government in less esteem almost by the day, and the levels of engagement they are having in politics are also on the decline.
But just because Millenials (and many other age groups) are disgusted by all things Washington doesn't mean we're becoming politically apathetic.
It shouldn't be surprising that a president who campaigned on a platform of seemingly transcendent "change" would lose popularity when said change takes the form it has. Obama's (significant in my opinion) political victories include the complex and controversial Affordable Care Act and the establishment of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, among many others. The benefits of these, though, often aren't immediately palpable to the broader public – especially young people who are just developing financial skills and handling benefits. (Conservative misinformation campaigns and congressional Republican intransigence probably don't help either.)
The inability to effectively communicate the benefits to younger Americans, or to address youth unemployment (BLS data has around 37% of non-disabled 20-24-year-olds not working), is a big player in the turn off. Perhaps it's a reason for Obama's – I hate to use the word – pivot toward economic inequality.
Such frustration with politics as usual (the target of Obama's '08 campaign) doesn't automatically mean depoliticization, and lower levels of "political engagement" among young people doesn't mean they don't care what happens in their country or elsewhere in the world. Just ask members of the deposed regimes in the Arab world.
Closer to home, I've been keeping an eye on my own friend group, many of whom graduated college within the last three years. A number of people I went to school with work for elected officials. Other classmates now work for thinktanks, nonprofits and service organizations. And even if they don't work in such sectors or are struggling to find work, my peers regularly engage each other in political discussions. Some are political activists, and a couple have even been arrested for acts of civil disobedience for climate justice. And then, of course, there was Occupy.
Younger Americans also have a critical role to play in shaping the future of US foreign policy, as Eva Pereira noted last year in Forbes:
It will … be the responsibility of Millennials to correct a misconception that has plagued older generations of foreign policy thinkers – that all Islamist movements are inherently uniform and equally opposed to Western values.
A failure to rethink Middle East relations, and the continual use of dirty military and national security tactics – possibly the Obama administration and current political establishment's biggest failure – may lead to the most disenchanting and historically destructive result for young generations: more war.
Many young Americans have lived much of their lives in a wartime America, and are attuned to its impact (personally, the son of my frequent substitute teacher was killed in Iraq). Whether America would be able to stop the insanity of a few fringe hawks from spreading and starting another unnecessary ground conflict is debatable. But youth political engagement beyond just public office (and an attendant high level of dissatisfaction) would be a huge part if successful.
So does youth dissatisfaction with the present state of American politics but hunger for change mean we're bound for '60s era mass protests and social movements? Not necesarily – again, it's hard to generalize in the short term without using the type of anecdotal evidence I cited above. It's also hard to really hard to predict what effect presidential approval (or Congress's continually cratering approval for that matter) has on the non-electoral side of politics.
Yet, despite our distaste for those in power, many young Americans are active and will continue to be. And while the revolution might not be imminent, political discontent coupled with an educated, motivated, and in many ways screwed population, can be an explosive combination.
