Officers investigate alleged assault at Kalispell Middle School
KALISPELL, Mont. - Kalispell police officers arrested a middle school boy after an alleged lunch room assault. Officers say the incident was caught on surveillance footage taken in the lunch room.
The school resource officer NBC Montana spoke with says the boy reportedly walked up and punched the other boy in the face on Monday, and then chased him around the lunch room, hitting him four times in the face total. Officers say a custodian eventually broke up the fight.
Officers are recommending a misdemeanor assault charge, and tell us the victim had reportedly antagonized the suspect earlier.

Last week I was once again hustling through a brutal travel week (10,000 miles in the air and two packed red-eyes) when I came across something really interesting. It was ~ 9 AM and I'd just gotten off AA flight 4389 from Toronto. I was a bit bleary eyed from a 4 AM call with a Finnish customer and was just trying to schlep my way to the Admiral's club for a cup of coffee when I stumbled across Accenture's Interactive Network display at the juncture of terminal H and K.
So what? You might ask, it's just a big screen and we already know our future is minority report -right? Yes - those of us in the echo chamber might know that, but what really struck me was watching my fellow travelers and how they interacted with the display. I sat and watched for about 10 minutes (while forgetting about the sorely needed cuppa joe) and just watched people as they started to walk past, then pause, then go up to the screen and start playing with it. On average folks would stay for a few minutes and read some of the latest news feeds, then hurry on to their next stop. But what I really found intriguing was how they interacted with the system:

Apple pitched the iPad at launch as a third device that consumers would use alongside the PC and the phone. While the iPad has genuinely innovative software and hardware, Apple has done little new to make the device easy to use in tandem with existing devices, beyond what is already in the iPhone. Consumers must sync the iPad using a cable with PC/Mac iTunes to transfer music or videos; while photos and podcasts are easiest if loaded the same way.
Apple has left too much in the hands of consumers to transfer and manage manually. For example, if a consumer wishes their video viewing position to be remembered across their devices, then they must sync first the iPad with iTunes, followed by syncing their iPhone or iPod. Contrast that with Amazon's Kindle: Whispersync maintains a person's reading position automatically between Kindle apps on PC or iPhone and Kindle eReaders.
The same issue hits multiple areas on iPad from games' scores and progress, the reading position on Apple's own eBooks, and the preferences of Apps downloaded from Apple's App Store, email, calendar and contacts.
There are workarounds for some of the above from app developers. Games built with the Plus+ network essentially have their own cloud service built in. Consumers may sync Calendar/email/contacts with a cloud by using a specific provider such as Google apps, a corporate account with Exchange, or Apple's own MobileMe. Other apps have their own app specific cloud abilities like Evernote or the iPhone/iPad Kindle app.
For iPad to really fly, preferences, usernames, passwords, and content should transfer automatically across the different devices that Apple intends consumers to use together: PC, phone, and iPad. Apple should use a consumer cloud to do it. Consumers should not have to think, all of this should just work. Tethered sync is a twentieth century product feature.
If Apple does not extend its consumer cloud services, iPad will rely on a patchwork of cloud services to deliver the third device experience. But, as a consumer cloud is essentially software, Apple could easily fix all of these things mid-life for existing iPad owners. iPad is after all very much a version 1.0 .
Every time I think of the iPad as "the third device," the image of Orson Welles from the film the Third Man appears in my head:
"You know what the fellow said – in Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace – and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock."
iPad is no cuckoo clock, but it's not, yet, a Michelangelo either.

Crime in South Whitley
Posted in the Columbia City Forum
#1 Sep 26, 2006
Hello I moved in town last summer and was robbed this spring! I lived in town and thought South Whitley had no crime and no kids running around stealing and etc. I feel the South Whitley Police Department in my case was rude and not very helpful even after I let them no my handgun was stolen! I feel that the twon need's to crackdown on this problom I see kids running around smoking and cussing and out till late hours and never even see the police in town. I now have moved to another location in South Whitley and work in Fort wayne. I just would like to see a crackdown on minors.

I used to live in South Whitley and still have family there. I agree that the efforts to control unruley minors is lacking. Often times there is one patrol vehicle making the rounds and although the town is very small, one is not enough. To the residents of South Whitely, if you want change to actually happen, get involved. You chose a small town to live in so adequate staffing may not be available for the police department. IF you want to see a crackdown on minors, then contact the local police department and ask what you can do to help. I do not want to suffer from the consequnces of uncontrolled crime by my family members becoming victims any more than you yourself do not want to be put at risk.

hola! I love South Whitley. It provided me with a job and Carol's Corner. All our minors are well behaved!

if there was something for kids/people to actaully do in south whitley, besides going to the bar(s). there is no basketball/ baseball or sport leagues, or any activities for people to do. what do you expect. anything and everything is out of town. they use to have a basketball tournment. that ended when the people having it moved. and have anyone looked at the park lately?
#7 Jan 18, 2009
The "so called" authorities of South Whitley need to stop worrying about stray cats or dogs in the town and START DOING SOMETHING ABOUT THE DRUNKS AND DRUGGIES !!! Yes ... officers you know who they are . Quit putting our lives and other community lives at risk and start busting the "BAD GUYS !" The dogs will go home where they belong. THEY DON'T DRINK AND DRIVE !
#8 Mar 5, 2009
1. heard of a gun safe? 2. if there was anything to do in this town, there wouldn't be a problem. there is no basketball or sport related things to keep them busy. only thing in this town is bars. the park is run down and in bad need of a overhual. and not forget not being safe for younger kids. cameras would be helpful in the safety of the park as well. and yet there is money being spent left and right on stuff that you can't tell it is making any visable change in the town of south whitley. i'm not saying that your feelings aren't wrong. just things could be better, if things were being done the right way.

I hate South Whitley...I do know that the teenagers there are doing what they want..where are those parents at? And for the cops there, they wouldnt make it in a real town.
#11 May 20, 2009
i agree with you. but, the sad part of it. things aren't going to change becuase people comment on it. the police are going to do what ever they can get away with. They are hardly ever at the police station.when (certin officers) are they act like your bothering them. if they aren't, there you have the fun job of calling to another police dept in another county. so i ask what is the point. south whitley isn't that big to patrol. is it?
#12 May 20, 2009
I will be leaving this crappy town in less than a month, I still am having a hard time understanding why in the world SOUTH WHITLEY needs A DODGE CHARGER POLICE CAR? To chase barking dogs? they sure aren't chasing the drug sellers or the people who feel they need to steal other peoples properties! My brother was chased out of town for having 5 dogs, my neighbor has 6! go figure? the school system? don't even get me started on that, your ok as long as you have a name to back you up, if not your screwed from the start!
#13 Jun 4, 2009
does south whitley really need a group home? or did the town get stuck with it? just curious.
#14 Sep 16, 2009
What on earth would cleaning up a park do?? Do you really think that teenagers now want to go play some basketball, most teenagers doing these things you talk about...staying out late etc. they don't enjoy sports, if they did they would play and your name to back you up at school thats just silly I went to school there my name was nothing big....I did really well, school is based on performance and attitude not your name.

Dont ask the police to baby sit your kids. They are exercising their right of lawful assembly. Besides they are too busy chasing down old people to beat up...

I've never had a problem with the police. Always found them, and you do not call another county, you call your sheriff's department where they are dispatched from. Get your facts in order or its just bunk and slander. About the kids, talk to the goddamn prosecutor. The police have their hands tied because the people are pussies. If the parents do their jobs...maybe the police wouldn't have to police them. Moving on to a better subject....

#19 Aug 21, 2012
All I've been reading is how awful the police are, and how bad these kids have it. Bullshit! These kids, not all, have destroyed the park, trashed it. They do criminal mischief acts and peddle drugs. What do you expect? What the town needs is a local judge, and a detainment cells. The towns government is new, and we should be helping them and watching out for political bullshit like the last 20 years. I think it would be the best policy to dissolve government here and turn it over to the county. You people don't appreciate shit. I vote to shut the Fuckers down. No one gets shit. You want to wait 15 minutes for response? No? Get off your dead assholes and take positive local action. You see something, and that doesnt mean being snoopy, then say something. Be the community, not a rude non understanding bitches.

Nagarjuna and Mamta to set the stage ablaze
Producer Sivaprasada Reddy says, "We recently canned a song at a specially erected set involving some models and Nagarjuna. Likewise, we also shot some scenes involving Nagarjuna, Sayaji Shinde and Brahmanandam too. Let me mention here that Ankur, who played villain in Slumdog Millionaire, is also playing villain in our movie. Some scenes related to the villain, some fights with Nagarjuna and some chases were also shot there. The current schedule continues till November 4 and our unit would return from Goa after November 4. The next schedule is planned in Hyderabad from November 10. Mamta Mohandas is pairing up with Nagarjuna in the film, while an American girl Linda is playing another heroine. The film will have all kinds of commercial elements and at the same time, would run in a new style. We will soon announce the title of the flick. We are making efforts to release the film in December."

Activist Hedge Funds Are Making Friends
This DealBook article about the new alliances between activist hedge funds and long-only institutional shareholders is full of enjoyable oddities; here is my favorite part:
"Periodically, we are approached by large institutions who are disappointed with the performance of companies they are invested in to see if we would be interested in playing an active role in effectuating change," said William A. Ackman, founder of the $13 billion hedge fund Pershing Square Capital, who is best known for his positions on J. C. Penney and Herbalife. Institutional investors even have an informal term for this: R.F.A., or request for activist.
Also good are T. Rowe Price's and BlackRock's vague non-denials that they issue R.F.A.'s, and a proxy solicitor's statement that "Institutional investors want to share the sick children in their portfolio with someone who can help make them better."
Lazard's delightfully titled "head of corporate preparedness" is quoted saying, "This is the biggest shift in the battle for corporate control since private equity was invented in the 1980s," and it's worth thinking about it in the larger context of the separation of ownership and control. 1 Companies are let us just say "owned" by their shareholders, 2 but typically individual shareholders don't have much control over the companies they "own." Their main rights are to vote for directors -- normally a one-party affair where your only option is to vote for the directors nominated by the board, or just vote for no one -- and to sell their stock if they're unhappy.
So an individual shareholder should value her control rights at basically zero. On the other hand, a big mutual fund that's a shareholder has some real control rights. It can, in theory, do the monitoring and cajoling and proxy-fighting work to actually force changes in management. But this is a lot of work and arguably away from its core expertise as a passive investor.
So, more efficiently, it can just issue an R.F.A., have an activist firm do the work, and vote for the activist. The mutual fund's main way of getting control is by making the one-party state of most corporations into a two-party state: You can't get anything you want, but you can get the choice between, say, Tim Cook and Carl Icahn. And as a big shareholder, you have some ability to influence the activists who are, after all, campaigning for your vote.
And, usefully, an individual shareholder in a mutual fund has some control rights in that mutual fund. Most notably, she can just take her money elsewhere if the mutual fund underperforms. This is very different from selling your shares in an underperforming company, because withdrawing from a mutual fund leaves the fund with less money. Selling your shares of a bad company doesn't affect the company; it just leaves the shares in the hands of some other schlub.
Also, it is easy for her to see if the mutual fund is underperforming. A mutual fund's whole job is to provide investment returns, and that is easily measurable against some market benchmark. How do you measure if a company is doing its job? What even is its job? Stock price appreciation is one relevant measure (over what period?), but not the only one. Maybe it's net income. Maybe it's revenue growth. Maybe it's active monthly users. Shareholder bamboozlement is easier for the manager of a company that makes things than it is for the manager of a fund that just makes money.
So big mutual funds pulling activist strings are a way to aggregate and simplify control of corporations in a way that give some control rights back, ultimately, to the individuals who own the residual claims on corporate earnings. It goes like this:
Instead of like this:
Financial innovation: Adding value!
Or at least redistributing it. Obviously there is counter-innovation, and I guess your priors will determine how you interpret the recent wave of public offerings in which shareholders have reduced control rights. Are they just self-interested management entrenchment? Are they a way to preserve companies' ability to pursue long-term value in the face of shareholders who are overly focused on immediate returns? Is the notion that shareholders should control corporations sort of passé anyway?
Those have long been fun theoretical questions; for myself, I'm a big fan of the notion that companies should be able to choose exactly what rights go in the bundle that shareholders get, and what level of care and catering they promise to shareholders. But the new world of an activist (or three) in every stock, and passive-shareholder support for and use of activists, makes these issues a lot more practically relevant. Companies will need to figure out if they're run for the purpose of providing financial returns to shareholders, or for some other higher/lower/more self-interested purpose. If they don't, their shareholders might figure it out for them.
This column does not necessarily reflect the opinion of Bloomberg View's editorial board or Bloomberg LP, its owners and investors.
That link is to the official-looking JSTOR page for the 1983 Fama and Jensen classic, "Separation of Ownership and Control." Here is what seems to be a free version.
Those scare quotes are because it's not true, come on. Shareholders provide capital to a corporation in exchange for a bundle of rights defined by state law and the corporation's charter and bylaws. That bundle of rights has certain similarities to "ownership," but that doesn't make it ownership.
An obvious exaggeration: Selling your shares tends to lower the stock price, affecting stock-price-based executive pay, capital-raising ability, prospects of being taken over, etc. But the mechanism with mutual funds is more direct.
By the way this is all loosely from Fama & Jensen:
For the purpose of decision control, the unique characteristic of the residual claims of mutuals is that they are redeemable on demand. ... The decision of the claim holder to withdraw resources is a form of partial takeover or liquidation which deprives management of control over assets. This control right can be exercised independently by each claim holder. It does not require a proxy fight, a tender offer, or any other concerted takeover bid. In contrast, customer decisions in open non-financial corporations and the repricing of the corporation's securities in the capital market provide signals about the performance of its decision agents. Without further action, however, either internal or from the market for takeovers, the judgments of customers and of the capital market leave the assets of the open nonfinancial corporation under the control of the managers.

Discovering Amarone~
***Amarone rhymes with macaroni.
Yep, love amarone wine so much, years ago~ I bottled my own! Have always liked reptiles.... so for a label photo~ I grabbed my yellow anaconda, to call it "Andy's Anaconda Amarone" ...... I'll try to save a bottle for the Recreation Unlimited Wine Tasting friday night!
Grapes harvested for AMARONE WINE are chosen from bunches having fruits not too close to each other, to let air flow. The name Amarone, in Italian, means 'the great bitter' .....open it a few years after it's bottled and you end up with a deep ruby red wine with a spicy, earthy bittersweet finish. It goes great with intensely flavored roasts or pasta with rich meat sause.

No thump on My YJ . A click tho as the relay operates.
Replacing the YJ's "wima' input caps with Decent ones helps increase detail accuracy.
Dunno.. Lepai can sound V good but I had to wipe off the ..entire... tone circuit crap to get there. As well as replace inductors output caps anf Input caps.
Not many OEM bits left at all :-)
YJ seems to improve further by judicious parts upgrades as well.
IMO there is NO need for a preamp... Tried it, No improvement/advantage whatsoever for me.
But then My tube pre is a decade long project and it IS "transparent'.
One can cap roll to tame percieved tizzyness.
I've found that a simple resistance reading on a input cap will give indication.
Higher resistance ones will be less bright.
Dunno if that's an accurate correlation but it's works for me.

Sorry .. confused,
No on off sounds. on yj... well almost none.. very slight ones. Seems to be input cap dependent ;-)
My Lepai has the relay widget.. it clicks audibly.

Older model vs. newer model Lepai?
I have an older model Lepai (without tone defeat button, and through-hole PCB) as well as the newer model. I performed quite a few of the mods on the older version and that really made a huge difference. The biggest improvement was the mod to bypass the tone controls.
Since the newer model has lots of SMD components, I haven't done any mods to it. It sounds OK, but to me, the older version (modded) sounds better.
On the newer model, I wonder if the tone defeat button actually bypasses the exact same part of the circuit and achieves the exact same result as the bypass mod that applies to the older version?
Anyone compared the older and newer versions side-by-side?
I think the older models are hard to find now on eBay as they are no longer in production. I believe some sellers on AliExpress still have them.

The newer LP-2020A+'s have a second op-amp used for the volume control (the pot is used in the feedback loop to set the gain, instead of being used as a straight up attenuator. The tone controls are bypassed with the tone/direct button, but the op-amp in the volume control is not.

I have experimented a lot with the Lepai 2020s, have 1 of the old model and 2 newer ones. To me these sound very good, especially driving headphones (either with transducer leads isolated, or with the negative outputs bridged by two 5.6 Ohm power resistors, connected to the common terminal of a standard headphone jack (this setup works for the Lepai, but not for other T-amps). I find that a good substitute for the Lepai as a power amplifier is the TPA3122 (TI) based through hole kit from Sure Electronics or Parts Express. At the moment this sells for $15, but does not include a power supply, though a couple of compatible 24VDC supplies are available from various sources. The TI chip design is single ended and will drive headphones without trouble (but not phones and speakers simultaneously). Into loudspeakers, this little amp board has tremendous headroom (much more than the Lepai), and its gain can be adjusted (4 settings) so that it will match pretty much any computer audio output or MP3 Player/smartphone. The Lepai's sound very good into high efficiency speakers, and have the Tripath characteristic (described in reports of multiple TA2020 and TA2024 based amps) of making some speakers that sound mediocre with class AB drive sound much, and sometimes much MUCH, better.
Driven by a 30VDC or so power supply, this board will put out about 15 clean watts per channel into 4 ohm speaker loads. about 10W into 8 ohms, but I have driven 8 Ohm medium sensitivity speakers to room filling volume with these. The design of these boards is over simplified, and some have been marginally stable, needing repeated on-off cycles to achieve stable operation. Once they 'catch', they remain stable. I liked the TPA3123 board, also, from Sure (about 25 WPC into 4 Ohms) but this was not cost effective and was withdrawn. In passing, I have not tried out the new STM based class D boards, which reviewers have panned somewhat for sound quality, even when properly output filtered. Apparently the Tripath and TI class D amps, as well as the more finicky high powered IR chip (which demands a 50+VDC bipolar supply, unlike the other chips, which makes the power supply twice as expensive as the board(!) and also means that you have 100+ VDC potential difference in your rig, which makes it a potentially dangerous design for novices). I am intrigued by the TI TAS5630 design, and wish TI would bring out a lower power version (250 WPC into 4 Ohms sounds like an invitation to set your speakers on fire if you accidentally turn the volume too high, let alone eardrum damage). I have heard that if you drive the 5630 with less that 50VDC the sound quality deteriorates.

Older Lepai
I purchased one of the older models on Ebay for a project a few years back but never really ended up using it. I moved recently and figured it would make a good way to bring sound to the kitchen. Unfortunately when I actually tried to use it I found that the left channel had no sound and the right had a loud buzz coming out of it. I read through this thread and started doing some of the mods (replaced inductor with toroids, replaced tone caps w/ mkt, removed the fault diode, replaced the op-amp with a n5332, replaced the volume pot with a log pot and grounded it, and changed out a few resistors) hoping that I would fix the problem as I went along. Right now I'm guessing that there's a bad ceramic cap somewhere or the TA2020 went and cooked itself.
I've still got a few things left on the mod list as well such as replacing input and power filter caps, and adding the overshoot diodes. I might also add the pop suppressor circuit as well assuming I can actually get this thing to work.
Anyway, does anyone have any suggestions on the channel issue? Or has anyone had a similar problem and traced out the issue?
Thanks a ton,

On one of my Lepais, there is no output on one channel.. it's because the Chip is damaged (tripped over/pulled out a speaker wire while in use)
IMO the entire Lepai tone Garbage circuit needs deleting !
It's the Ta chip which holds the goodness.
NOT the Mickey Mouse Lepai board implementation.

So the fix would be to replace the TA2020 chip huh? I figured that might be the case. As for the tone circuit I figured I'd play around with it for a while before bypassing it completely.

text: Well I had the front end of this truck, (The very last job to do ) and bought a kit with al the bushings, and I fell for the advertising about "Polyurethane infused with Teflon" ad. Well it's done but it rides so hard you'd think the dashboard is going to split in half. And it is so squeaky I'm afraid to take it out at night as I fear I'll wake my neighbors with al the squeaking. I guess you live and learn again. I'll never use polyurethane bushing ever again. Damn I screwed up with this job. Got no one to blame but myself.

The country's best-performing funds the past three months have been adding retail issues, such as Krispy Kreme Doughnuts (KKD), Chuy's Holdings (CHUY), Domino's Pizza (DPZ), Lumber Liquidators (LL), and Cabela's (CAB) in their latest reporting periods.
In this economy, Americans are still eating out, but choosing the fast-casual dining route with lower price points. That's why quick bite restaurants such as Domino's Pizza, Krispy Kreme and Fiesta Restaurant Group (FRGI) have been doing well.
Although Chuy's Tex-Mex themed restaurants offer full-service dining, the average bill is still affordable for consumers.
Several IBD Leaderboard stocks were popular with top funds: Lumber Liquidators, Celgene (CELG) and CommVault (CVLT). They all remained within buy zones after clearing bases or add-on buy points.
IBD found 14 funds poured an estimated $172 million into Celgene. The developer of treatments for breast cancer, arthritis and other illnesses has been under solid accumulation since its June 2012 bottom, though volume has softened recently as the stock pushes to new highs.
Lumber Liquidators is hanging near its new high set last week after the stock cleared a three-weeks-tight add-on pattern. It remains in the buy zone.
CommVault has drifted back to the top of the flat base it cleared on March 14 in below-average volume.
Another bright spot in the market is financials. Managers of leading funds have continued to snatch Ocwen Financials (OCN), Financial Engines (FNGN), Portfolio Recovery Associates (PRAA), Evercore Partners (EVR) and HFF (HFF).
Ocwen, which was featured in January's column before its attempt to break out of its consolidation, has started work on a new base. The mortgage servicer is trying to regain support its 10-week moving average. Its earnings are seen rising 254% this year and 17% next year.
Sell Side
Top-rated funds have been taking profit of medical stocks, including Air Methods (AIRM), Pfizer (PFE) and Baxter International (BAX), in their latest reporting periods.
After hitting a 52-week high of 51 on March 7, Air Methods has pulled back in recent weeks. It's trading in a third-stage base. Such late stage bases are more prone to failure.

The Biodex Isokinetic Dynamometer for knee strength assessment in children : advantages and limitations
Tsiros, Margarita D., Grimshaw, Paul N., Shield, Anthony, & Buckley, Jonathan D. (2011) The Biodex Isokinetic Dynamometer for knee strength assessment in children : advantages and limitations. Work : A Journal of Prevention, Assessment & Rehabilitation, 39(2), pp. 161-167.
Objective: To critically appraise the Biodex System 4 isokinetic dynamometer for strength assessment of children.
Methods: Appraisal was based on experiences from two independent laboratories involving testing of 213 children. Issues were recorded and the manufacturer was consulted regarding appropriate solutions.
Results: The dynamometer had insufficient height adjustment for alignment of the knee for some children, requiring the construction of padding to better fit the child within the dynamometer. Potential for entrapment of the non-testing leg was evident in the passive and eccentric modes and a leg bracket restraint was constructed. Automated gravity correction did not operate when protocols were linked or data was exported to an external device.
Conclusions: Limitations were noted, some of which were applicable to knee strength testing in general and others which were specific to use with children. However, most of these obstacles could be overcome, making the Biodex System 4 suitable for assessment of knee strength in children.

I know this has probably been beaten to a pulp, but I feel the officiating in the game vs GB was the most atrocious I have seen in a long time!!
Nevermind the TD catch by Driver which he NEVER had control of the ball, and even Mike Francesa and the league itself admitted that was a bad call. The Ballard call I think they got right, althought I know all this commotion has been made of it.
But the absolute MOST EGREGIOUS call to me was the 3rd down play when they sacked Rodgers andd the refs called illegal use of the hands on the defense, automatic 1st down. It was absolutely RIDICULOUS!! Then also the Prince PI penalty where he didn't even touch him, another call which was just plain wrong!!
I also think that Tripplett is the WORST official in the league, remember the Thanksgiving coin toss?
I don't know if we still would have won the game, but I believe things would have been different. Especially that Driver TD in which he never had control, that was 3rd down and they would have been forced for a FG attempt.
Also, when the Giants had the ball on the final drive, 1st and goal, you GOTTA run the ball a couple times, you know you can't give Rodgers the ball back with a minute left and a TO. Poor clock management for sure.
Overall I know we have to look forward, and I think actually what TC and JR are doing is silly running around with this photograph, the game is over, worry about the Cowboys.
If we play like this the rest of the year, we make the playoffs, but which Giant team shows up next week. Just remember, in our SB year, that last game of the season we lost to NE by the EXACT same score, 38-35. Maybe its an omen!!
Anyway just my 2 cents, any thoughts??
Another thing I wanted to add, WHY THE HELL DIDN'T they blitz Rodgers more? I understand blitzing is taking a gamble, but if you don't blitz hes gonna sit there and pick you apart anyway, you mine as well blitz and if you get burned you get burned, but at least by blitzing you have a chance to create big plays, sacks, FFs, Ints.. Just don't understand it. If you don't blitz hes gonna score and pick you apart anyway, mine as well take your chances. I would have been blitzing 70% of the defense downs

I have a 1997 Olds Cutlass Supreme , with 156,000 miles, It will not move in drive or reverse. Could it be transmission is gone ? thanks
This is a great inspiring article.I am pretty much pleased with your good work.You put really very helpful information. Keep it up. Keep blogging. Looking to reading your next post.Manpower services Global staffing services Employment agencies in Pakistan
Generally cars this old and which have run so many miles do have problems with engines and transmissions. A major overhaul with parts replacement could get you along quite well. Sometimes it becomes quite cumbersome and expensive to repair the damages and a replacement saves time as well as money. You can go in for a used replacement for the transmission from places like automotix.net/usedtransmissions/1997-oldsmobile-cutlass-inventory.html which will cost you around $300 with warranty and free shipping.

I am 5'8 weigh 140lbs and and a 36A/B!! I have always wanted bigger boobies and after having a baby, my boobies have become stretched, deflated, not something I feel good about!!! So I finally found a PS and I am One week away from my surgery date! He is awesome, attentive, and super caring! I am getting so anxious though! I decided to get 475-500ccs silicone under muscle! The surgeon will decide on the final size during the procedure but I am pleased with either! The closer I get, I get more nervous, i keep thinking about all the complications and things that could go wrong! I just hope everything turns out well! YIKES!! I am just getting everything situated before I go!!
Boobie City in One Week!! Yikes! 500ccs Silicone Unders! - Walnut Creek, CA
I am 5'8 weigh 140lbs and and a 36A/B!! I have...
Post op boobies!
So after my surgery i felt amazing!! it wasn't until later on in the evening i started having a lot of pain- couldn't sleep and felt like pain meds were not strong enough. I have just been taking my pain medication around the clock.. ICE packs also around the clock.. Doing stretches and I am Slowly feeling better.. My muscles are really sore!! One of my breasts sits slightly higher than the other but it was smaller to begin with so I think the tissue needs to stretch more! I go to my follow appt in a couple days but they said asymmetry is perfectly normal early on! I love my new breasts! I can't wait for them to drop. They are really tight right now and feel like two rocks on my chest!! I got 500ccs in my right (smaller one preop) and 475ccs in my left! My PS was amazing, very caring and good at his job! Very excited!
Day 3
My moods are all over the place.. can u say bipolar temporary?? One minute I love my boobs then the next minute I am picking out things wrong with them!! One is slightly higher but its because it was smaller preop so the skin needs to stretch a little more on that side-my friends couldn't even notice until I pointed it out!! I notice it thou because I'm staring at them so hard!! If its one thing I'm learning from this experience, it is to have patience!! They will fall into place- swelling will go down and everything will work out!! I just need to stop worrying and remind myself this.. Otherwise the pain is decreasing, I am doing alot better with stretching, just super fatigued still and need to pace myself.. I am attaching a pic of day 3!!
Bobbies are doing much better.. I have some pain on the sides and the incision but Its only sometimes and I am healing great!! I just have been able to start sleeping on my side! Next appt is Tomo with my doctor.. ;)

Where I stayed
We decided to stick to our coastal route so we left Highway 101 and took 128 to Hwy 1. Surprisingly, 128 was beautiful and lined with vineyards and redwoods. If we had the time and money, we would've definitely stopped for a wine-tasting…or two. But instead, we continued on our merry way until we realized we weren't in Marin anymore.
More redwoods greeted us at every turn and no matter how many groves you drove through, you never stop being amazed at how awesome they are.
In Humboldt County, we drove one last time through the big redwood drive-thru tree in Leggett, CA. Further north, we cruised through the Avenue of the Giants, which is a road that's lined with redwoods and runs parallel to 101.
Around Orick, CA we ended up at an elk meadow, where we were able to get out of the car and take a few pictures of elk and then watch an amazing sunset.
Once we arrived in Crescent City it was too late to set up camp, so we decided to find place to stay indoors. We settled on the Curly Redwood Lodge, which was built out of a single redwood tree. It was very mid-century/modern and had free wifi, so we decided to spend the night there. Tomorrow, we'll head into Jed Smith S.P.

We've written before about the importance of building a personal brand for independent web workers, and others have pronounced it a "prerequisite for career success." If you're a believer in this idea, and you have a Twitter account, there's an easy way to help define and promote your own brand: use your Twitter page background.
I picked up on this idea from @Pistachio, though it's been going around. The screenshot is from my own Twitter page – which now, thanks to the ability to upload a custom background, promotes my field, shows my availability, and tells people how to get hold of me. If you've got a modicum of talent with any graphics program and a few minutes to spare, you can do the same. The only drawback: no clickable links. But it's way better than letting Twitter provide the default background, or posting pictures of your cats.

AC Milan 0-0 Napoli
Sunday, February 5
AC Milan missed out on the opportunity to leapfrog Juventus at the top of Serie A with a goalless draw against Napoli at San Siro on Sunday. Zlatan Ibrahimovic, scorer of 15 goals in 19 matches so far this season, was sent off in the 64th minute. The result leaves Massimiliano Allegri's side a point behind Juventus, having played one match more.

Jack Kerouac's Former Girlfriend and Biographer Talks the Beats at HuffPo
Joyce Johnson, Kerouac's former girlfriend and author of The Voice Is All: The Lonely Victory of Jack Kerouac, published last month, has written a column on the birth of the Beat Generation at the Huffington Post.
One of the many surprises tucked away in the vast Jack Kerouac Archive at the New York Public Library is the tiny pocket notebook in which Kerouac reacted in the fall of 1947 to a conversation he'd just had with his mother. She had been horrified by a story in her morning paper about bands of abandoned children living in caves in a remote part of Italy, who were ravaging the countryside in their search for food and having sex and babies as early as 13. Jack's mother wanted the Pope to step right in and put a stop to this. Her son wrote in his notebook: "I want to go there."
…The Beat Generation was born all at once in Kerouac's mind in late November during a long talk with [John Clellon] Holmes about what the 1920s writers Gertrude Stein had called the "Lost Generation." Jack stopped the conversation with, "You know this is really a Beat Generation!" Since 1945, he, as well as Allen Ginsberg and William Burroughs, had made beat part of their vocabularies after first hearing it uttered by a drug addict and petty thief named Herman Huncke. Long before it meant black stockings, berets and Bongo drums, beat was a coded word for those in Jack's circle, signifying a state of mind they all could identify with after the war–the feeling that came from being exposed to the extremes of experience, but being able nonetheless to look outward and upward. For Jack, who had been raised as a devout Catholic, it had another meaning–beatific.
Can't get enough of the beats? Read the full post here.

Germantown Friends School will develop a Summer Leadership Academy for rising 9th grade students from local urban public and private schools. Through the study of water, the Academy will demonstrate that students and faculty can work across race and class barriers when engaged in a common educational enterprise. GFS will host the Academy, where students will examine water across three dimensions: environmental science, political/economic, and expressive arts.
By tying their work to specific outcomes relating to social justice, students will be encouraged to use their talents and knowledge to educate and advocate for change. GFS and its public and private school partners, Breakthrough of Greater Philadelphia, Temple University and the Philadelphia Water Department will plan the program in the summer of 2009 and enroll students in the summer of 2010.

James Davis, the government's top witness in convicted swindler Allen Stanford's fraud trial, was sentenced on Tuesday to five years in prison for his role in a $7-billion (U.S.) Ponzi scheme.
Mr. Davis, 64, who could have been sentenced to 30 years, told the court in a breaking voice: "I am ashamed and I am embarrassed." He added that he let down his family and thousands of investors.
U.S. District Judge David Hittner cited Davis' co-operation with prosecutors when he handed down the punishment.
Mr. Davis' lawyer, David Finn, had asked for a four-year sentence while prosecutors sought a 10-year sentence.
Mr. Stanford was convicted last year of bilking thousands of investors using fake certificates of deposit issued by Stanford International Bank in Antigua. He is serving a 110-year prison term in Florida.
At Mr. Stanford's 2012 trial the former chief financial officer told jurors that he and Mr. Stanford used fake accounting to prop up his offshore bank as withdrawal requests poured in during the financial crisis in 2008.Report Typo/Error

I love Sig pistols, but mine are all in the Classic "P" line (P220 Carry in 45acp, P229 in 40sw, P226 in 9mm).....that is they are all made with stainless steel slides with aluminum frames. I've never owned a polymer Sig so can't give you any advice in that area. You should be able to buy a brand new in the box Sig P229, P226 or P239 for less than a grand. It really comes down to what you plan to do with the pistol. If you just want a gun to take to the range....you really can't beat the P226. Afterall, it was the finalist in the competition for the US contract for new sidearm for our military. If you intend to carry the Sig, then I'd recommend you go to a gun shop and hold the P229 and P239. The P229 is a double stack and the P239 is a single stack. If you have medium to small hands, you're probably going to like the feel of the P239. The P229 is larger and heavier, but has a larger capacity. They are all sweet pistols and you're going to love what ever you get. Mine have all been 100% reliable and are very accurate. Quality made firearms...
I have a sig sp2022 and my wife has the p250 sub compact. Both AWESOME guns. Great shooting, great accuracy, easy take down. I picked mine up from a buddy of mine for $500, but it also came with 8 mags. My wife paid $479 for her 250. They eat everything. I have never had a problem with either of them. I would highly recommend them.
I've never seen a Sig for over $1k unless it was a marked up 1911. I thought all of their 9mms will be under that...just looked on the sight and maybe they have raised their prices? Either that or else when I bought mine new the dealer knew what a reasonable markup was. I paid about $700 for my 226 DAK 5 years ago. The least expensive is probably the polymer ones - they have some full size, compact, and tiny ones.
Full size - SP2022 MSRP $540
Compact - 250 MSRP $570
Tiny - 290 $570
It's all on their website. Also - expect the MSRP to be 10-20% over what a gun shop would list them for normally. Although during this "craze" they might go for full MSRP or even more.

Magna Carta to get modern makeover for 800th birthday
By Michael Holden
LONDON (Reuters) - The Magna Carta, the English medieval document considered a cornerstone of modern democracy, is to get an overhaul and be brought back into the public spotlight in time for its 800th anniversary, academics said on Thursday.
A three-year research project will also attempt to discover whether King John, the monarch who signed the document in 1215, really was the villainous monster made popular by portrayals in the Robin Hood legend.
"We're hoping to gather together all of the evidence for this iconic document that hasn't previously been assembled," Professor Nicholas Vincent, the historian leading the project, told Reuters.
"Everyone's assumed that all the work on this thing had been done because it's so famous, it's so well known, somebody must have done it. But in fact since 1804 there has been no proper attempt to do that."
The Magna Carta, which translates from the Latin as "Great Charter", was signed by King John of England at Runnymede to the west of London following an uprising by his barons, establishing certain rights of the English people and curbing the powers of the monarch.
Not only does it form the bedrock of Britain's constitutional freedoms, it was the basis for both the U.S. Constitution and the Declaration of Independence.
Auction house Sotheby's described it as "the most important document in the world" when it sold an original copy from 1297 five years ago in New York for more than $21 million. Continued...

Yule Be Swell
Blue Yule might be a super-apt description for Christmas this year, given the financial dire straits many of us are finding ourselves in right now. Between layoffs, escalating prices on almost everything and dwindling stock portfolios, it's a little hard to find yourself in the Christmas spirit. And gift-giving this year? Let's just say that the stockings will be a little lighter than in years past. Shoppers will be looking for the most bang for our bucks, and if you can get in a little gift-scouting combined with philanthropy and entertainment...that's a total score. Blue Yule is a savvy fund-raiser put on by the McKinney Avenue Contemporary (MAC), 3120 McKinney Ave., that combines an evening of jazz from renowned percussionist Jamal Mohamed; an auction for an array of perfect Christmas gift items donated by area stores, salons and restaurants; and a wonderland of one-of-a-kind ornaments hand-decorated by local artists. Drinks (including a mystery punch sure to make your pocketbook woes fuzzy) and snacks are provided, and all proceeds will benefit the artistic and educational endeavors of the MAC throughout the year. The price of admission is a very reasonable $20 at the door. The event runs from 5:30 until 7:30 p.m. Call 214-953-1212 or visit the-mac.org for more information.

Top 10 wines in the US press
2012 Belle Ambiance Cabernet Sauvignon, California
Gil Lempert-Schwarz, the chairman of The Wine Institute of Las Vegas, recommended this Californian Cabernet Sauvignon produced by the Delicato Family Vineyards writing in the Las Vegas Review Journal this week.
He said: "This is a deep blackish-red color with an opaque purplish-red colored center going out into a violet-red rim definition and medium-high viscosity.
"On the nose: It exudes layers of ripe crushed black fruit with dominance by black currant, boysenberry, blueberry jam, then comes a touch of creme de cassis, vanillin from oak, earthy minerals and phenolics.
"On the palate: It immediately coats the palate with black fruit characteristics, followed by cherry and cassis juices, and then ripe, firm, yet silky tannin structure with some degree of alcohol as it comes out a little "hot." It has an excellent midpalate with loads of fruit and crushed loganberry and finishes nicely with chunks of cherry liqueur and creme de cassis. It does need to open up for about half an hour or more before consumption to give it a chance to "burn" off some of the initial alcohol, but then it reveals nice concentration and excellent potential for this price category."
Price: $6.99

Grand plans are afoot to get cyclists and motorists far enough apart that they can co-exist without pulling each other's hair.
As coffee tried vainly to force my brain into life the other morning, I caught Auckland Mayor Len Brown on the telly talking about bikes and how they would fit into the scheme of things in the future.
Now - despite my incessant reassurances that I despise only those cyclists who insist on ignoring the road rules with the sort of arrogance someone dressed in a skin-tight advertisement should not really be capable of - this sort of talk, before the beans had a chance to work, wound me up a bit.
While the surge in pedalling may be as much a passing fad as hula hoops, rollerblades and United Future, there's always going to be a large core group of cyclists that we share the roads with. Things do need to get sorted, but is getting a private developer to fund a four metre-wide path being tacked on to the Harbour Bridge and then charging tolls the answer? With a cost between $25 and $35 million, it's not likely.
Cyclists want to be able to ride between the North Shore and the city, so they should be happy to pay up, right? Um, probably not at $5 each way, but some will. If it became popular for commuters, it could be like the Northern Gateway, but every single day on the way to work. On the bright side, it's cost-neutral to the council, so the rates bill won't be going up.
While more bridge clip-ons didn't seem ideal, Brown made good sense in other areas - like split pedestrian/cycle lanes where possible - with the end goal of keeping hard cars and comparatively soft cyclists apart.
To be fair to the mayor, that would make everyone's lives a bit easier - as long as all, or even most, cyclists actually used them. Tamaki Drive's rutted and tatty lanes aren't exactly winning over people on bikes, obviously.
Later that day, I looked up from my desk to see Brown wandering through the office on his way to record an interview about the Auckland Unitary Plan (bit.ly/13C7Tvp).
I suggested a trebuchet as a cheaper and far more entertaining way of getting bike riders back to the Shore. He asked what a trebuchet was and after explaining it wasn't a font but a catapult I think he might have seen some value.
It'd save on toll booth waits for the cyclists and keep gridlocked drivers amused.

Ripoff Report
About Faces Models and Talent3400 Peachtree Road, Suite 147 Atlanta, Georgia USA
About Faces Models and Talent/ Lisa Laforce This agency makes money primarily through charging models for "workshop classes" Atlanta Georgia
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
Avoid this agency at all costs. My first booked job with About faces consisted of three days of runway work. I showed up on time, did all three shows and was told the pay rate was $340.00. I never recieved payment for the shows because the director of the show had a falling out with About Faces and its owner, Lisa Laforce. Lisa Laforce is the owner of About Faces and when she has a disagreement with the people who hire her agency, it's the models who get stiffed financially. Lisa also godssips about the agencie's models and I found this to be extremely unprofessional along with the workshops held in the agency office. Additionally, reputable, legitimate agencies do NOT offer "workshops" and charge models for the training. Always be wary of aggencies offering workshops--it typically indicates the agency isn't making enough money through real jobs for models, but rather by charging models for classes they don't need or want to take. When I was with is agency, Ms. Laforce had a constant flow of models interviewing with her and getting talked into signing up for workshops. Don't be naive! Find a real agency.

About Faces
SUBMITTED: Thursday, August 13, 2015POSTED: Thursday, August 13, 2015
I am signed with About Faces and I am more than happy with the work they have found for me so far.
I'm not sure why you didn't get paid for the show. Did you talk to Lesa about it? I am sure she would have worked something out with you concerning your payment. It seems highly unlikely that you just didn't get paid.
I have never heard Lesa say anything bad about any of the talent that work for her. Why would she do that? That wouldn't benefit her at all.
The fact that there is a constant flow of talent interviewing with Lesa should be proof enough that About Faces is a legitimate business. If they weren't talent would stop coming.
The "workshops" are not provided to make the agency any money. The agency doesn't receive any profit from these classes. The money you pay goes directly to pay the instructors that teach the classes. The classes are there to help you become better at your trade whether it be modeling, acting, or commercial work. If the classes weren't offered, you would be less likely to get booked on jobs. The people teaching the classes are very skilled in the profession and know what most casting agents are looking for. Like I said, the classes are there to help you. The agency can never promise work to a talent, but I can assure you, they don't supplement "real" jobs with classes. I would rather pay the money and take the classes through my agency, rather than try to find my own source to take them. You are far more likely to get ripped off if you try to find some where else to take them.
Overall, I have been very pleased with my work with About Faces so far. Anything worth doing in life is going to cost some kind of investment. Starting out in this business is expensive, but if you are proactive and work hard, you can make your investment back very quickly. Just like anything else, your achievements in this line of work depend mostly on you. How far you are willing to go, how hard you are willing to work, how much you're willing to invest (not just financially, but physically, emotionally, time-wise etc).
You do have to be careful in this market as there are a lot of scammers, but I can assure you, About Faces is nothing but professional and legitimate.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

text: I love my Bernina 440 QE with the BSR. From what my dealer told me, a lot of people bought the 440 without the embroidery package. The embroidery capability was not being used so the 550 is basically the same machine but without the embroidery. This makes it less expensive to make so it is at a lower price. The new 700 series are nice with the larger capacity bobbins but they use different feet from previous Berninas.

Overheated: What Should I Replace?
My wife just drove our '02 330i while it was overheated. She's not sure how long she drove it that way, maybe a couple miles (which I know is more than enough). When I tried to start it after she got home (maybe that wasn't smart, but I wanted to see what it did) the temp needle immediately pegged to the right, the engine clicked loudly, ran rough, and then stalled. I was certain it was DOA.
However, I went out the next day and it started fine with the temp needle right in the middle. I topped the water off and bled the coolant then took it for a short drive and it had plenty of power and drove smoothly for a 30 minute drive. Water is steaming out of a crack in the side of the radiator, but I know that's an easy fix.
I had known there was a slow coolant leak before, but I couldn't tell where it was coming from so I recently replaced the Thermostat, Water Pump (with an EMP Stewart), and both hoses. That didn't solve the leak, but it was very slow so I procrastinated on replacing the radiator and expansion tank (kicking myself now.)
Questions: When I replace the radiator and expansion tank, should I repair the following?:
1. Since it over heated after those repairs, do I still need replace the thermostat even though it's almost new? (I know with older engines this was always advised, but the thermostat seems to be operating normally.)
2. Should I tackle the fan clutch while I'm at it?
3. Do I need to change the oil or should the fully synthetic stuff be okay with the brief overheat? (I changed it less than 1k miles ago.)
4. Would anything else be damaged? Please don't say the new $200 water pump.
5. Is there still a good chance that the top end is fried and I would just be wasting my money on all of the above repairs?
Thanks gang. Chris
be sure to search or check the stickied threads:
Thanks. I wish I had read this thread a few months ago. Now, unfortunately, I'm looking for what to do when these things have already happened.
You'll know if your head gasket blew and head warped pretty soon after the overheat, if not immediately.
If your engine is ok then just solve the leak (radiator)
Your thermo, WP, & rad. hoses should be ok.
Replace radiator and expansion tank (get a NEW cap with it), asap.
While you're there do fan clutch and fan blades, plus all pulleys and belts. Probably a good idea to get a new auxiliary temp. sensor (for the lower rad. hose, if you haven't already). Fill with BMW coolant and re-bleed.
Report back.
I was in a similar situation a few months ago...
My car ran ok for the first days after replacing expansion tank and then every thing started.... so before changing anything I would suggest to drive the car a few days and see how it behaves.
Good Luck
The Engine.....:eeps:
Yup, I can't see the engine still being serviceable long term.
Sell car now!!
Preferably to an undeserving high schooler.
Do a leak down test. If pressure holds, and your coolant level doesn't rise while you're doing the test, you're probably fine.
If it does leak, time for a new engine.
Replace the wife
That's a bit harsh..
You're looking at $400-500 in parts and another 80-110k miles of reliability of the cooling system.
Some people think I'm harsh or trolling for telling some new members about the cooling system when they post "what color" or "how wide" threads...
Now you know why.
(As if the other 8,000 threads where people say "I wish I would have seen this information earlier." weren't telling enough)
The fight continues. Good luck, OP.
It's a good fight nonetheless, Mango.
Anyway, so what color and how wide? I'm curious to know your thinking on that! :lmao:
I would just drive it a little, short trips, few times a day next few days. See if any lights come on or anything else bad happens. If the light comes on then you'll at least have codes to give you a guide to what else might be wrong. If nothing pops replace the cooling system and hope everything else is fine.
Check your anti-freeze

Karly's Bio
My name is Karly and I am currently 24 years old. I went to George fox for two years and received my associates and now have my bachelors of science in film, business and communications from Portland State. I have lots of experience with a variety of families and ages (infant-12), experience with kids who attend Montessori schooling, multiples and with children with disabilities (ranging from seizures, autism, cerebral palsy, down syndrome etc.) and I have excellent references. I have reliable, safe transportation and I am trained in CPR/first aid/lifeguarding. I love to have a set schedule a day ahead of time so I am prepared to have a fun filled day of activities and outings. I love going to parks, museums and the zoo, as well as finding indoor games if the weather permits us to stay indoors. I am an active young lady that loves to be silly, but knows how to be responsible. I also am very reliable and punctual because I know how important it is when being a nanny. I love to be around children because they have so much joy and excitement even over the smallest things. It gives a nice break from the adult world, an opportunity for responsibility and the "it's okay to be silly and play". I try and build a relationship with the families I nanny and/or babysit for.

Are Conservatives Inherently More Biased than Liberals? The Scientific Debate Rages On
Chris Mooney | August 2, 2012

In the first round of critical reactions to my book The Republican Brain, there wasn't much to impress. As I related at AlterNet, the general conservative response to the book was to misrepresent its arguments, rather than to engage them seriously. (The book predicted this, incidentally.)
But now that some researchers have been able to read and process the book, some highly intellectually serious criticism arrives courtesy of Yale's Dan Kahan, of whose work I've written a great deal in the past. You can see Kahan's first two responses to the book here and here—the latter includes new experimental data. You can see my roadmap for how I plan to respond to Kahan here.
This is the first post of my response, and it is solely dedicated to clarifying my position in this debate. You see, while many people will read this exchange as though I am claiming that conservatives are inherently more biased than liberals—or in other words, claiming that they engage in more or stronger motivated reasoning—it isn't actually that simple.
The closing words of The Republican Brain are these:
I believe that I am right, but I know that I could be wrong. Truth is something that I am driven to search for. Nuance is something I can handle. And uncertainty is something I know I'll never fully dispel.
These are not the words of someone who is certain in his beliefs—much less certain of the conclusion that Dan Kahan calls the "asymmetry thesis."
