The player takes the role of Jonathan Hunter, later to be known as "GoldenEye", an ex-MI6 agent who is recruited by Auric Goldfinger to assassinate his rival Dr. Julius No. Throughout the game, many legendary allies and enemies that appeared in previous Bond movies, which you will fight alongside and against such as Pussy Galore, Oddjob, Xenia Onatopp and Francisco Scaramanga, will help develop the story as your main mission is vengeance and demolition. Despite Electronic Arts' attempt to recreate the success of the best-selling Bond game entitled GoldenEye 007 in 1997, GoldenEye: Rogue Agent received mediocre reviews due to its lack of innovation, personality and mediocre gameplay.Gameplay" Why save the world when you can rule it?"This game is a typical first person shooter with some extra twists. Several gameplay mechanics will come in handy as you will encounter tougher enemies and several boss battles. Firstly, you can use cover to your advantage. Since this game is in first-person view, you can either crouch or stand behind anything in your environment to avoid enemy attack. Secondly, your health replenishes when you take cover. You can pick up armor that are placed throughout the maps or dropped by enemies when they die to quicken the healing process. Thirdly, the game lets you dual-wield weapons to create devastating weapon combination as you can shoot them separately or together by using the right and left triggers on your controller. In addition, you can subdue an enemy in close combat by using hand-to-hand attacks. After a couple of strikes, your opponent will be stunned and you can either hit him again to knock him out, or use him as a human shield. Using an enemy as a hostage is a great way to replenish your health and ammunition when cover is scarce. Furthermore, there are many machine traps located throughout the game in the environment that can be used to defeat opponents. These deathtraps can eliminate quite a few enemies once mastered.The infamous Moonraker deathtrapFinally, with the help of Francisco Scaramanga, your eye is replaced with an upgradeable synthetic eye which lets you see enemies through cover using MRI vision, manipulate electronics and weapons using the EM Hack, deflect damage with the EM Shield and send enemies flying across the room with the Magnetic Field.MultiplayerAlong with the fully integrated single-player, this game offers 4-player split-screen and online gameplay for the Playstation 2 and Xbox. However, on November 26 2006, the servers for both versions were shut down due to inactivity online. Furthermore, Activision had acquired non-exclusive rights to develop and publish James Bond games later that year.Different game modes were present in the game such as:Multiplayer frenzy in Scaramanga's FunhouseShowdown (Every man for himself)Team Showdown (Eliminate the other team)Domination (Capture domination points to keep your counter high)Tug-O-War (Teams compete to transport a bomb to their goal)These modes could also be modified by changing the rules by playing them on:Normal (Play the match with not special rules)Golden Gun (Place Scaramanga's legendary Golden Gun in the map)You Only Live Twice (Each player receives only two lives)License to Kill (All weapons are one hit eliminations)WeaponsSpec-9- standard pistolType-s Frag GrenadeJackal .357- Powerful pistolMamba 12 GA. - Shotgun that can be dual wieldedHS-90 - Submachine gunAR4 CommandoLongbow SR (campaign only) - SniperHarpoon RL- rocket launcherPredator MGVenom 200ML- paralyzes targetsMK2 Detonnater - shoots an explosive chargeMag-RailTesla EM (campagin only)OMEN XR- Vaporizes enemiesGoblin mine (multiplayer only)Golden Gun (multiplayer only)

You're not the only one. At my job I get a bit of down time in the morning at the office before I head out to do inspections, and also in the late afternoon when I get back in from the field. During that down time I'm usually here. I keep telling myself that I'm going to cut back from the internet (this site in particular) during work hours, but I never quite manage to do it.

A couple of months ago, I realized that I had Molluscum Contagiosum. I went to a doctor and had that confirmed and I started the treatment and now the bumps are gone and there is nothing left. So I was wondering whether I could still be contagious or not because I am about to start seeing somebody and I need to make sure that I don't have anything. :)
Dear Reader,
Mollusca are typically small, skin colored bumps or lesions that appear singly or in groups and can be found anywhere on the body. These bumps are caused by a virus that is usually transmitted through skin-to-skin contact with an infected person. Though it is less likely to occur, it can also be spread through sharing contaminated objects such as towels, washcloths, clothes, or gym equipment.
If left untreated, mollusca usually disappear on their own. It can take anywhere between six months and four years for them to disappear completely. For those with weakened immune systems, the bumps may take longer to clear up. Since mollusca are more likely to be transmitted when bumps are present, some people have them removed. A health care provider may use freezing, scraping, electrosurgery, laser cautery, or chemical agents to remove the bumps.
After bumps have disappeared or are removed, new bumps can appear for up to six months (though they tend to clear after about two to four months after treatment for most people). The good news is once the bumps have cleared, this is a signal that the virus is gone and a person is typically no longer contagious. It's possible to get molluscum contagiosum again — having had it before does not prevent you from being infected another time. If new bumps appear at another time, it's likely due to contact with another infected person or contaminated items.
Asking whether or not you could still be contagious shows that you not only care about yourself, but about others as well. It may be a good idea to keep an eye out for additional bumps that might appear following your treatment. Covering up any new bumps with watertight bandages will help minimize the risk of transmitting to another person. Just make sure to remove the bandages at night (as long as there is no risk of contact with another person) to keep your skin healthy. Additionally, safer sex is a good idea when people are interested in protecting themselves and their partner(s). As you may know, the first step in protecting yourself and potential partners is open and honest communication. Sharing your experiences and making time to discuss the situation will only serve to make the relationship stronger. You may also want to have some information (this Q&A perhaps) with you during the talk.
Congratulations on meeting some new and interesting,Alice!

My Apologies To Rick Mercer
I was watching Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert the last few nights and wondering what their coverage and commentary would have been of Vic Toews and the Conservatives over the past week or so had they been Canadian Shows, and wishing we had the same here.
Are we missing out on Rick and 22 Minutes being "daily shows" or at least more frequent and do we need to bring back the Air Farce…we desparately need something more than the Media Coverage we are getting from Parliament Hill?
Regardess, thumbs up to Rick!
An IP address plus email address, provider and name is not a telephone book.
February 22, 2012
Chris Lewis, Commissioner of the Ontario Provincial Police was today on TVO (Ontario Educational TV station) and said that the police is too busy to look at everybody's Internet activities and therefore the average Canadian doesn't have to worry about this bill 30. He is obviously only thinking of the traditional manual surveillance, but the government in this bill will have the right to specify the hardware that will be installed at the internet provider, thereby allowing the ability of automated, computerized systems that can screen, sort and catalogue information, thereby exposing everything people do, think, their opinions, political, sexual and religious orientations, etc.
He also compared the personal information bill 30 is allowing to a telephone book, but a telephone book gives the name, address and telephone number of a person. It will not tell who I am calling and will not expose the contents of my telephone calls to others.
Other concerns are that the government through this installed hardware will be able to snoop directly on your hard drive. Where will it stop? If Canadians allow this bill without drastic modifications we will be soon in much deeper water. May I remind you that the Canadian government was recently hacked by China. You can see where this is leading to. All our personal information will be everywhere and the government will not take the responsibility. Identity theft, criminal activity, loss of savings and property will be our next problem.
Data Breaches
@W Wissing: the implication of data breaches add another troubling dimension to this development.
By disemnifying ISP's from legal recourse for disclosing the private data they collect about their customers, this proposed law may also do the same for data stolen from their systems, either through the new "back doors" they'll be required to create for "authorized persons" or another attack vector (of which there are too many to count).
Long story short, this proposed legislation spells big trouble for personal privacy rights in Canada.
Do a strength, don't let today's lazy become tomorrow's pain.

I have a major questions for the old car enthusiast. a 1976 Plymouth Fury Sport with a 318 engine, can it go over 180 mph? What was the horsepower? Would it have been a different engine than was stamped on the engine? I did some research and the engine for a police cruiser for a 1976 Fury was ~155 hp I don't believe it's right. This car was supposevely built to be a state trooper ghost car. It had the 120 inch wheel base and not the standard 117.5 inch. I know some of the older 318 engines had higher HP, could this car have had one of those engines? the electronic timing of the day would only screw up the engine, it would not operate right. A couple of old mechanics back home would adtjust the timing by ear and a screw driver.
I can't help you. Sorry.
No. It could not go 180MPH or more, even if it had the 440CID V8. The aerodynamics would probably rule that out as much as the weak engines of that time. 150HP or so is correct for a 318 of that time.For information about basically anything Chrysler, go to Allpar.com.http://www.allpar.com/squads/engines.htmlhttp://www.amazon.com/gp/blog/post/PLNK1DEQWAFM578YGThis is a Fury ("B" body, intermediate)...This is a Gran Fury ("C" body, full size)...

I agree Giz. Looks like you can change calibers without a new upper.
Boy, this is an interesting tactical platform.
I agree Giz. Looks like you can change calibers without a new upper.
Not a big fan of "Combat Weapons".......for the money, I'd rather have a nice SXS 20 ga. for bird hunting. But, I've got (2) shotguns, (2) .30 caliber rifles, and (2) .22 rifles.....seems like enough to keep me shootin' and satisfied. I've also got (4) S&W revolvers........or, until they "pry them from my cold, dead hands"! Didn't somebody say that before???? Bob
When you want the BEST! Bob
I'm really interested in seeing one of these guns. The ability to turn it into three different butt stock configurations is neat, or the gun can be fired without a rear stock ~ pistol style. Cleaning looks easier, interchangeable bolts and barrels without changing out the entire upper is another plus.
Cool gun..
This is the Magpul "Masda" rifle and it's being developed right here in Maine by Remington / Cerberus at their Bushmaster Subsidiary.
My people inside tell me to steer clear until they get it "fixed and running right....."
".... Evil Flourishes When Good Men Do Nothing...."
Finally, an AR platform available in a usable caliber.(I guess you all figured I'm no fan of the 'Poodle-Shooter' round)
"Diligentia, Vis, Celeritas"
Jeff Cooper
The only new guns that I've bought are.... the Ithaca M-37....about 30 years ago.......after 40 years of developement! The Walther P22 about 8 years ago, and the Savage Mark I bolt .22......last year. I just don't trust the new-fangled things!!!! Bob
When you want the BEST! Bob
The Masada has been around in prototype and development since late 2006. Three and a half years later it still has teething problems.
In general design execution it reminds me of another "Modern Marvel" of the firearms world, the 5.57 x28 FN PS90 Carbine, also something less than a complete commercial success.
As much respect as I have for Magpul and Bushmaster, the jury's still out on the Masada as far as I'm concerned. I was frankly quite surprised to see that normally very conservative Remington Arms Co. allowed their name to be put upon this monstrosity.
".... Evil Flourishes When Good Men Do Nothing...."
I suppose that Remington just finally decided to join the other manufacturers, and produce a "Combat Rifle". Everybody else is making "Big Bucks" producing these things.
Drew, Though I'm not particularly "turned on" by the trend towards modern military rifles (AR style), that SOCOM that you have....... sure looks interesting!!!! Perhaps it's the more conventional styling (like an M-14), but........it sure looks like a winner to me!!!! Although, I have no good use for one......and can't afford one, anyway. Bob
When you want the BEST! Bob

Clinic Operator: 1-800-4-Sansum1-800-472-6786
If you eat cold cereal, read on for tips to a better breakfast. Breakfast is important and can help you with weight control, improved emotional health and being able to concentrate. Although cereal is popular, it can be high in carbohydrates (carbs). Three quarters (¾) cup of cereal can contain as many as 15 gm of carbohydrate. Add 8 oz milk (12 gm carbs) and a small banana (30 gm carbs) and the result is 57 gm of carbohydrate, which is equivalent to almost four slices of bread. For comparison, a two-inch brownie contains 45 gm and a small donut contains 30 gm of carbohydrate.
Cereal is a convenient breakfast, but there are a variety of alternative choices that may improve your health.
Have you ever experienced increased sleepiness, mood changes and/or decreased ability to concentrate midmorning? If so, you might want to evaluate your carbohydrate load in the morning. Your pancreas makes insulin to maintain a healthy level of glucose in your blood and cells. Carbohydrates convert to glucose – the more you eat, the more insulin you need. Without diabetes, your body will handle the higher carbohydrate intake with insulin but the abrupt change in blood glucose from higher to lower can cause feelings of shakiness, dizziness, anxiety and at times, extreme hunger.
Insulin's other function is to store fat which tends to appear around the midsection. According to Sansum Clinic Pediatrician Saida Hamdani, MD, "A high protein breakfast can prevent the roller coaster effect of alternate carbohydrate craving (reactive low blood sugar caused by the high insulin) and fat storing (caused by the insulin) which happens several times a day throughout the day. It sets the tone for a more stable blood sugar without wild fluctuations."
Physical activity increases glucose uptake from your blood into your cells – more muscle activity means more glucose uptake. After the age of 30, we all begin to lose muscle at a more rapid rate. Routine exercise maintains and builds muscle. Exercise has a healthy effect, similar to insulin, enabling glucose to enter our cells. So enjoy the "breakfast of champions" on mornings when you will be active instead of working at a computer or sitting in a classroom.
Your liver is especially active in the morning producing glucose for your brain and muscles. Overeating carbohydrates adds to an already higher blood glucose level. In addition, the hormones that wake us up in the morning make our bodies more resistant to insulin doing its job and add to the glucose challenge. Stress, caffeine and lack of quality sleep can exacerbate this condition.
Many people believe smoothies are a healthy quick breakfast. However, a 24 oz blended drink can contain 100+ grams of carbohydrate.
For weight control, it is better to eat whole fruit. Mechanically pulverizing the fiber in the fruit initiates the digestion process and stimulates an intense and more rapid insulin response.
Drinking fruit smoothies and juice in the morning is healthier before or after exercise.
You might be wondering if your high fiber cereal is acceptable. Check the sugar content. High fiber cereals often contain added sweetener to make that "cardboard" tolerable. Each 4 gm of sugar or honey is equivalent to 1 teaspoon of sugar.
High fiber content does not 'wash out' the carbohydrate content as some food manufacturers suggest. The daily fiber recommendation is 25 gm of fiber from a variety of plant foods including whole grains, beans, fruits and vegetables.
The answer to this question is best answered individually. It depends on variables such as your activity level, when you are most active, your fasting glucose level, your muscle mass, stress levels, how long your days are or your sleep cycles.
On mornings when you have time to be active, enjoy a higher carbohydrate cereal breakfast. Consider muesli or granola. Try seasonal local fruit such as berries. When choosing hot cereal, look for whole grain and multi-grain cereals such as quinoa, brown rice, oats, barley, amaranth, wheat or rye. The fiber amount on the label should be greater than 2 gm per serving.
Leftover quinoa, brown rice or other whole grain prepared with organic almond milk, cinnamon and nuts is a delicious, quick and healthy breakfast. Whole oats or steel cut oats are the best sources of fiber. Quicker cooking oats have been cut smaller and/or pre-cooked, which will spike your glucose or insulin levels and can cause more fat to be stored. Convenience usually comes with a cost to your health.

The connection between 'Breaking Bad' finale and Marty Robbins' 'El Paso'
EL PASO, Texas - Marty Robbins' classic "El Paso" had two prominent placements during the series finale of "Breaking Bad" on Sunday night.
Warning: Minor Spoilers ahead. Stop reading if you haven't seen the series finale.
Marty Robbins face and name can be seen in Walter White's car as he is about to drive at the beginning of the finale. (Editor's note: Some online are saying it was a ticket stub to a Robbins' concert but it looked more like a cassette tape case).
As the car starts, "El Paso" starts playing, with the lyrics about a bullet finding the protaganist seeming particularly profund.
Much later in the episode, White is humming the song and singing some of the lyrics as he prepares a gun.
For more on the finale and the song, go to http://bit.ly/16b5wUO and click on the various reviews, theories, and discussions.


text: The Dolomites Mountain Range, belonging to the Italian Alps, has 80% of its land area in the Province of Belluno in northern Italy. Its name comes from Deodat of Dolomieu, a French geologist who discovered the composition of the rocks in 1791. The highest mountain in the Marmolada massif is approximately 3342 meters high, but there are other peaks over 3,000 meters. In the region of the Dolomites, there are towns such as Cortina d'Ampezzo, Ortisei and Corvara. The Dolomites were declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2009. In this region, the most spoken language is the Ladino language, a Rhaeto-Romance language that has developed due to the isolation of the mountain valleys, but they also speak Italian and there is a German speaking minority. In the area there are rivers and lakes such as the Piave Misurina, plus glaciers though they are retreating and some have already disappeared. It is a region of majestic beauty and overwhelming scenery.

On Saturday, around 18 months after President Obama signed it into law, the Leahy-Smith America Invents Act will take effect. Ostensibly, the act is designed to bring U.S. patent law in line with the rest of the world. Of course, not everybody feels it will help achieve the patent system's goal of protecting inventors while fostering innovation, and its effect could be even more pronounced on the DIY inventor.
Although the act includes a number of small changes, the meat of it is considered the biggest shakeup at the USPTO since 1952. Formally known as H.R. 1249, the act was penned by Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-VT) and Rep. Lamar Smith (R-TX), the duo who introduced the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) and Protect IP Act (PIPA). For product designers and makers and DIYers the proverbial monkey wrench is being thrown into the mechanism for filing a patent — and the timing with which you do so. Today, if you file a patent, someone can come along and tell you they had that idea first, and with much documentation and legal wrangling, deny you the right to apply that invention. Tomorrow, nobody will care who came up with the idea first — only who filed it.
It's called "First to File" (as opposed to the previous "First to Invent") and it shifts the system's emphasis from the date it was invented to the date its inventor dropped an application at the patent office. (It does preclude stolen ideas; it's been more accurately termed "First Inventor to File.")
"It's a big deal, and all the patent attorneys I know are busy right now, filing applications before that goes into effect, Saturday, which tells me that most of their clients are better off under the old system," says Robert Barr, a professor of intellectual property law at UC-Berkeley, though he adds that some of the rush is simply due to uncertainty about how the new law will play out.
"Under the old system, if you kept lab notebooks … you could prove you were the first inventor even if you were not the first to file, so you didn't necessarily have to be the first to get to the patent office," he says. "Now, with a few exceptions, you need to be the first. If two people come up with the same invention, and they often do … it's not going to matter if you can prove you were the first inventor if you weren't the first to file."
Supporters of the law say that, in addition to aligning U.S. law with the rest of the world, the act will speed up patent review and cut down on the backlog of applications. The patent office offers steep discounts to small businesses, and under the new law will offer steeper discounts to entities with fewer than four patents. But the majority of the cost of a patent remains in the fees associated with having it written up by a qualified lawyer, and opponents worry that first-to-file will favor big companies that can afford to apply for more patents, more quickly.
"If you're working out of your basement, you make a decision, hey I came up with something clever, now I got to scrape together some money to hire an attorney," says Jonathan Withrow, a partner at IP law firm Rankin, Hill & Clark. "You may not file an application 'cause you don't have the money." And that leaves the door open for someone else to file.
"Will it happen that often?" says Withrow. "I doubt it. Does it happen that often now? I don't think so. But it's a possibility."
It's trendy to frame first-to-file as a race to the patent office — and not totally wrong.
"Now it's really important to be the first to file, and it's really important to file before somebody else puts a product out, or puts the invention in their product," says Barr, adding that it will "create a new urgency on the part of everyone to file faster — and that's going to be a problem for the small inventor."
Of course, as with any new law, you never know quite how it's going to be enforced until the judicial system gets its hands on it, and so it'll be months or years before the particulars are straightened out. But Alex Lee, president of product development firm OXO, which licenses designs from individual inventors, says it primarily encourages faster filing, at the expense of refining a patent — and its ever-important claims — and maximizing the 20-year protection period.
"I don't think it's changed our behavior in a huge way," says Lee. "It certainly simplifies things a lot from a litigation perspective. In the past, if we have a patent issued to us, some person, some company can still claim, hey, we had that invention a year prior to your filing date — it's all documented on our sketch pad. Then we have to go back and figure out, even though we filed it on this date, whether our invention actually happened more than a year prior to that. So it's a big kind of argument about who came up with the idea first."
There are a few additional complications from the act. Public disclosure starts a one-year grace period that allows inventors to wait to file, but most of the world does not acknowledge this period, so using it could preclude filing in other countries. There will be some changes to what constitutes disclosure, though Barr says it remains to be seen how disclosure is defined in practice. Anything on sale, or publicly disclosed anywhere in the world is considered prior art. And a third-party review takes disputed patents directly before a panel of judges dedicated to evaluating the patents' legitimacy, rather than just a single patent examiner.
It's not a simple situation — the term "morass" would be appropriate — but Fast Company last year published a guide to the act, the USPTO is hosting a public forum and webinar today from 1 to 4 pm EST, and the ambitious can read it in its entirety at the Library of Congress website.
Meanwhile, everyone's favorite villain probably won't be affected at all.
"I don't think there's anything in the bill that helps fight patent trolls, and I think that's really disappointing," says Barr. "It should have, and if it was designed a little differently it would."Go Back to Top. Skip To: Start of Article.

Jack Russell Rescue of Scottsdale AZ
Our Pet List
Our Featured Pet...
Since we get Jack Russell Terriers each day, usually as owner turn-ins for one reason or another, please feel free to call 480-391-9837 and inquire what dogs are presently available for adoption. We place both the long-legged and the short-legged JRs. All our JRS are spayed/neutered, all shots are current, Heartworm testing and vet check have been done, and all JRs have been microchipped prior to adoption. The adoption fee is $300. We also have Jack Russell mixes from time to time.
Please understand that a Jack Russell Terrier is NOT for everyone! The Jacks that you see on TV like Eddie on "Frasier" or Wishbone are media myths. Jacks are bred for foxhunting and are VERY active dogs. If you are looking for a dog to sit quietly at your feet in front of the fireplace, a Jack Russell is NOT for you! Jacks live to be 15-20 years old, so a Jack is always a puppy at heart! You may want to go to the Jack Russell Terrier Club of America's website at www.terrier.com and read about these feisty little dogs. Then call JRRS at 480-391-2007 and we will email or send you an Application for Adoption immediately. A home check of the new adoptor is required as are follow-up calls.
Who We Are
Jack Russell Rescue of Scottsdale (JRRS) is an organization in Scottsdale, AZ, whose purpose is to take unwanted, abandoned, or displaced Jack Russell Terriers and place each one in an appropriate Home for Life with a new family. Educating adoptors and getting the new owners and their Jacks involved in a JRT club that meets monthly are fringe benefits of JRRS adoptions. Sue Murphree, coordinator of JRRS, will be happy to answer any questions you have about Jacks.
Adopting a friend
Why do these JRs need rescue? Sometimes it is a case of a young JR that was given to elderly parents by their children, but the dog is too active for the recipient. Sometimes a JR is lost and we are unable to find the owner. Sometimes the owner has made a wrong choice in buying a JR and is unprepared for the care required of a feisty terrier. Sometimes life situations and jobs change which make keeping the dog impractical. Many of these dogs are unwanted simply because the owner has not done the proper research before purchasing the JR and cannot provide the attention necessary for the JR. To place a JRT in rescue, all shots must be current, the dog is spayed/neutered, and heartworm testing has been done. The owner must get all this done prior to placing the JRT in rescue, or JRRS will arrange for these services but the owner will have to pay JRRS for this service. If the owner wishes to make a contribution to JRRS, we welcome a monetary gesture of thanks. When an owner calls JRRS about giving up a JR, we first try to refer the owner to a certified behavior modification expert for the purpose of helping the owner keep the JR. That failing, we take and place the JR. The former owner must complete a lengthy Dog Personality Profile which is made available to the new adoptor. The JR is then taken by JRRS and observed and evaluated by JRRS prior to placement. JRRS is not a dumping ground for people who just want to dump their Jacks.
Come Visit Us!
Appointments may be made by calling 480-391-2007. We do not have a "shopping cart" philosophy here at JRRS. We know the JRs that are available for adoption, and we know our clients - so we match the appropriate Jack to the appropriate family. You may visit our JRRS Rescue website at www.jrtconnection.com Our motto is "Why Buy a Dog when there is a Rescue Jack Russell Terrier waiting to become a member of your Family?"

A Pirate's Life for Me
Strap on your cutlass, grab your buccaneers and prepare to plunder: Today is BrethrenCon, Denvers first-ever pirate convention. The one-day event is a celebration of all things piratey, with vendors, workshops, food and even a zombie-pirate themed dance to end the evening.
We have six hours of classes based on some fun, whimsical stuff and some historical, authentic stuff, everything from what did pirates eat to what life on the account was really like life on the account being a euphemism for being a pirate, explains organizer Simon Page. Because our Buccaneer Bash is themed as undead pirates, we have a zombie defense tactics [class], which is basically just a reason to pick up foam swords and hit each other with them.
There are also costume contests, talk-like-a-pirate contests (the following day is Talk Like a Pirate Day, so its great practice), a Liars Dice tournament, fundraisers to benefit the Gulf Coast oil cleanup and more. It happens today from noon to midnight at the Denver Airport Marriott at Gateway Park, 16455 East 40th Circle in Aurora. Tickets are $25 and include a lavish Captains Feast if you pre-register, but its $30 at the door and you wont get the meal. For more information, including a full schedule, and to buy tickets, visit www.brethrencon.com.

Cathedral City budget cuts could endanger public safety.
CATHEDRAL CITY, Cali. - The public safety budget could not be spared from Cathedral City's controversial budget cuts last July. Two million dollars came out of the fire department alone.
The city manager told the fire department, unless it came up with a way to cut costs, he would make personnel cuts and close a station permanently. So, the department implemented the only plan it could.
Cathedral City Mayor Kathy DeRosa said, "The fire department came forward and said here's what we would like to do, here's how we'd like to reorganize, and this is what we think we can do. Unfortunately now what they did on paper, they're finding that is really not working in the real world."
The new budget cuts five firefighters and forced the department to close station 412, on Desert Vista Road, for about two weeks out of every month. Since the budget passed, station 412 has shut down for the day more than 50 times.
The staff cuts and shutting down the fire station increases the response time for the fire department, sometimes even doubling how long it takes to arrive at the scene. The department often operates under the preferred crew minimum of ten.
Mayoral candidate Chip Yarborough believes the city mismanaged the budget, and if he becomes Mayor, plans to do something about it. "I believe when you keep a communications officer and you get rid of a fire chief, somehow those priorities just don't make sense to me. I believe that one of my first priorities is to restore public safety in the city. The fact that we have two fire stations protecting a population of 54,000 people is just unsafe," Yarborough said.
Palm Springs or Riverside Fire may need to lend a helping hand in situations the short handed department can't handle. The burden on fire staff could increase again during the tourist season, when the population increases in the thousands.

Bound Unbound: Lin Tianmiao - Asia Society and Museum
Ages: All
725 Park Ave. - 212-288-6400
New York, NY
Description: One of Lin Tianmiao's clearest recollections of her childhood in China was helping her mother sew clothes for the family. When she returned to China after spending eight years living in New York, she was inspired by this memory to create a technique she calls thread winding, where she winds silk or cotton thread around an object until it is completely covered and ultimately transformed. She used this in one of her first major works called The Proliferation of Thread Winding in 1995, which began her career as an artist and is included in the exhibition. Her use of the technique continues today and can be seen in such recent works as All the Same.

Refitting for the Spring
I have a Hunter 25 that I paid very little for, and is in decent shape. I like that it has a 3' draft, and I don't want to pay $10,000 or more for a "real" boat (I wouldn't have the money to cruise if I did that..). I do want to refit it and make it as seaworthy as possible.
I was thinking about entirely cutting off the liner inside and taking out the cabinetry. Then reinforcing the bulkheads with some more glass and building a crash compartment. Maybe reinforce the areas behind the chainplates. Then I would build my own interior bunks/galley in a more ergonomical way suiting my own needs. I don't care about resale too much because I barely paid anything for the boat anyway. I like working on projects like this, and have some experience with fiberglass.
Does what I am planning on doing make sense? Worth it? Anyone think I would just be wasting my time?
I welcome your opinions, especially from anyone who has taken the liner out of their boat before...
What you want to do can make sense. What is important is whether the liner is there purely for the builder's convenience or whether it is also there for strength. I haven't crawled around a Hunter 25 so I can't say.
Does what I am planning on doing make sense? no
Worth it? no
Anyone think I would just be wasting my time? yes
Probably never finish and make it unsailable and unsellable, just my opinion.
You want to beef up the boat so that you can sail in waters for which it was not originally built? I get that.
I don't understand why you want to rip out and replace the entire liner. Our bulkheads and chain plates were reinforced by the PO without doing that.
Maybe it will all be a waste of time, but it's your time to waste and if you enjoy doing the work, who cares?
Some people like working on boats as much as sailing them. Nothing wrong with that. If no one liked to work on boats there would be more derelict boats out there.
Go for it, I am doing a refit on mine this winter as well.
Is it worth it, lots will say no but I really like my boat and to me it will be worth rvery drop of sweat. Sounds like you get a good accomplishment from doing the work if only to say Damn thats fine work..
As for liner make sure you really need to remove that, or do you have some sort of carpeting on yours. If thats what your calling a liner then sure go ahead.
Remember takes pictures along the way and update the post on how your doing.
I'll echo the sentiment to revisit the "ripping out the interior liner" idea. Odds are the manufacturer has integrated structural components into said liner. Something to think about. Now, as to the "am I crazy" question: aren't we all? Last I checked, most of us have a screw loose here and there, so what we think about the idea is probably a mute point. You can easily "make the boat your own", without the need to tear out the liner. By converting a settee into galley cabinetry, for instance, you change the ergonomics and layout of the boat.
Whatever you decide, it's your choice because it's your boat. Words like "resale" and "value" and "depreciation" really don't apply to most old boats, because they're worth whatever the next buyer is willing to pay. So, go ahead and spend the winter making it your own. Document the refit in a thread complete with pictures. If nothing else, your project will give us all something to watch over the winter. Good luck!
Ditto for knowing whether the liner is a structural part of the boat. Seems likely.
Obviously, it's your's to do with as you please, but because you asked, I think you're going to find other much better places to spend your time and money on an old boat. I KNOW you will.
A crash compartment? Seriously? Do you hit a lot of stuff (tongue in cheek)? How many 25' sailboats sink from head on collisions vs. other cause? I'll betcha darn few. Try fire, through-hulls, and general stupidity. Also, bear in mind not many of them sink.
I understand going for better ergos down below, but it's still going to be a 25' boat when you're done, so you're not going to gain much. What are you REALLY planning to do down there with the ergos that you hope will be better? Just sail the boat. Keep it seaworthy and shipshape. That's no small undertaking on an older boat. You'll use the cabin to overnight sometimes, get out of the weather, cook chow, store your gear, and maybe get laid. Rearranging will not likely enhance your experience.
I used to sail a Grampian 26, and I really loved that boat. I did a lot of repair and upgrades to it outside and inside. The bulkheads in that boat were covered with formica, and I thought it looked really cheesy. I paneled over it and added trim here and there on the interior. I wanted a bigger head on the boat with a shower and figured out I could put a shower in the forepeak in place of the v bunks. Glad I never did that. Looking back, I'm glad I did all the work on the outside, but the stuff I did non the inside was just a waste of time, effort and money. Fix the broken stuff, rewire where needed, and just enjoy it.
and SAIL
Well I took a closer look at the cabin this weekend. The galley cabinetry has much unused space, and its general construction is a bit shaky after 30 years (the countertop is a bit loose). The ice box, which I never use mostly because it has no drain, blocks access to the area underneath the cockpit floor and does not maximize space at all. I believe a large water tank could easily fit behind it (I currently have only a waterbag under the v-berth). The area of the cooler is another one that has much unused space. The laminate countertop is old and peeling slightly in a few spots. I think this whole area could be re-done more efficiently. I plan on ripping out the galley and cabinetry, and re-fitting them in a way that maximizes the use of space. Particularly, I think I will get rid of the ice box, and rely on a removable one instead. I would replace the laminate with, maybe tiles? or... something similar that looks nice... bamboo? And add a cabinet where the ice box currently is.
I inspected the liner of the boat, and much of it appears at least somewhat structural, especially considering that it is in many areas thicker than necessary for purely cosmetic purposes. I think I will leave the bunks as they are. They actually work decently as is, and re-doing them would be a LOT of work, probably more than it is worth. Good suggestion siamese. The boat as a space between the v-berth and main cabin, in between two bulkheads. To starboard is the portapotti. To Port is a nearly open space in which it would be simple to install a cabinet/armoir into.
There are several areas of the boat, especially up front where it would matter, where the liner completely covers the hull and there is no access behind it. Into these spaces I may consider installing simple plastic deckplates, so as to have some access in case of getting holed so I could at least stuff something in them to slow the flooding. I think a crash compartment would be difficult to do, because the v-berth bottom seems to be at or just below the waterline (which is where I would be most likely to hit something) and would not be easy to seal without making access to the spinnaker that I store under there, and extra line/hardware, difficult.
Most of the ports don't open, and all of them are heavily glazed and cracked/chipped in part and most are slightly leaky (a few drops only in rain, I'm sure more if a wave hits them). I priced ports at almost $120 each minimum, I would need 8, so that isn't an option. Maybe I could replace them with simple, bolted on lexan?
The transom, where the backstay and my engine mount attach, is a bit light and I can see it flex at the motor mount when I push the motor up and down. An easy fix should be to fit a 1/2 inch plywood transom reinforcement, attached to the transom with thickened epoxy and through-bolted at the backstay and engine mounts. This should stiffen it a bit, and allow the fitting of a stronger backstay when I eventually get around to beefing up the rigging (this can wait for another year).
I can't figure out for the life of me how one reinforces the bulkheads. They seem completely fused to the hull in fiberglass all along the hull bottom. Then, from about the waterline to the deck, they are not connected at all. Should I finish the bulkheads up to the deck? Or reinforce them where they are? Or add to bulkheads wherever I can, by laying up extra glass and using plywood bulkheads to fill the gaps? I don't know what to do about that...
I most likely will be able to take a year off of work in the next few years, and still return to it. I plan on going cruising in this boat. Coastal, down to Florida, then the bahamas, then I don't know. I won't be crossing the atlantic, but I will need a seaworthy boat even if it is a Hunter. I will watch the weather carefully because I am scared of rough weather. I mean, my girlfriend is. Not me... I have built several small wooden boats, and generally finish any project I start. If that helps...
Your opinions and personal experiences welcomed!
I will take you at your word that you finish projects. Many of this magnitude are not finished.
My most serious caution would be to take this in bite sized pieces. You may finish, but you may not finish by the Spring. Every project I've ever undertaken has tripled in time and complexity. Once you start ripping things out, you will find more that needs to be done.
For most of us, just getting the repair list completed over the winter is too much to ask.
Well, with the help of my girlfriends father I got the galley table and cooler removed from the boat today.
Im gonna install a battery port under the cockpit floor, and a watertank there as well. Im gonna cut a new galley countertop from ply. Not sure whether to cover it in fake granite laminate, or bamboo flooring to get a bamboo countertop. Or tiles? Any opinions on this choice welcome!

The following article originally appeared in Tar Heel Monthly in May of 2002. See below for an update on the story.
The proposal was perfect. That wasn't a surprise, since Ryan Kohart was the consummate planner. First, he asked Melissa White's father for her hand in marriage. The proposal would take place on the island of Capri in Italy, and Kohart even told his future father-in-law exactly what day it would happen. Nothing to chance. Everything perfect.
Kohart had spent a semester studying in Italy, so he was the perfect tour guide for White, his girlfriend of two years, when the pair went back to Italy for a nine-day vacation last summer. He showed her around Florence, and then they traveled to Positano, a gleaming city on the coast considered one of the most romantic places in the world.
Then it was off to the island of Capri. On top of a mountain, looking out over a nearly Carolina-blue ocean, Kohart asked White to marry him. She said yes, of course. That was all part of the plan.
"It was possibly the most perfect proposal you can imagine," White said. "It was just like him. Everything we did together was always perfect."
Kohart's life followed a specific plan. Growing up in Garden City, New York, a bedroom community of New York City on Long Island, he was a lacrosse standout. In Garden City, kids pick up lacrosse sticks the same way that kids in Chapel Hill pick up basketballs, and the area had a thriving youth lacrosse league. By fifth grade, he was already quite proficient with the stick. There was a long Kohart lacrosse tradition in Garden City, as an uncle had been on a state champion team at Garden City High. Ryan duplicated the feat as a senior. Four Kohart brothers would eventually play major college lacrosse.
Older brother Geoffrey Kohart, Jr. attended Johns Hopkins on a lacrosse scholarship but had friends who went to North Carolina. After a visit to Chapel Hill to see them, Kohart returned and told his lacrosse-playing brothers that they would be foolish not to consider playing for the Tar Heels if they were recruited by them. "When we were being recruited, he told us, 'Don't be stupid, go to Carolina,'" Brett Kohart remembered.
Carolina wound up with two Kohart brothers, not just one. Ryan's freshman year was 1995, when he was the co-recipient of the Jay Gallagher Award, which is given to the outstanding freshman player in the lacrosse program. The next fall, he was joined by Brett, who was a Carolina standout from 1996-99.
"It was terrific," said their father, Geoffrey Kohart, Sr. "We drove down in the spring to almost every game. We didn't miss many, either home or away. We still have friends that we see from those teams. Lacrosse almost seems like a little fraternity."
Brett was even more highly recruited than Ryan, and by virtue of his position, Brett, a midfielder, received more accolades than his brother, a defenseman. In lacrosse, midfielders score the goals. Defensemen do the dirty work.
That's what made it even more special when the Tar Heels played a road game at Hofstra to close out the 1997 season. After 17 straight years of making the postseason, Carolina had an 0-3 ACC record and the team already knew they would miss the NCAA Tournament. But their season finale would be a special one for the Kohart brothers. Their high school games had been played at Hofstra Stadium, the same place that would host the season finale. A bevy of local family and friends were on hand to watch the game. The Tar Heels pulled out a 10-4 victory with some surprising offensive contributions.
"Ryan was bringing the ball downfield, and nobody picked him up," Brett said. "Right after he shot it, he got his clock cleaned. He scored, but he was just laying there on the ground. And then all of a sudden you saw his two arms pop up. No matter how hard he was hit, he always got up with a smile on his face."
Brett Kohart remembers September 11: "I got up around 8:30 or 8:45 and went online. The first thing that flashed up on AOL were the towers burning. I kind of freaked out, but I had forgotten he was up that high. Then the power went out and all the cell phones went dead. All you could hear were sirens. I lived on the Upper East Side and it was nuts. I live right by the Tri-Borough Bridge and it was gridlock. All I could see was smoke coming up. We pretty much kind of knew, but we had hope. What else have you got?"
Kohart captained the Tar Heel laxers in his senior year. Elected by his teammates, he presided over the team at a difficult time for Carolina lacrosse. After years of winning national championships and competing with the elite of the sport, the Tar Heels were suddenly having trouble even winning games in the ACC. Virginia was gaining a reputation as a powerhouse in the sport, stealing some of the limelight from Carolina.
By the time the team held their end-of-season banquet, it was a somewhat fractured squad. It had been a difficult time period for the program, which would get even more bad news in the fall when Kevin Reichardt was killed in the Henderson Street shootings. Despite a bid to the NCAA Tournament, it almost seemed that there was more bad news coming out of the Tar Heel lacrosse program than good news.
It was with that backdrop that Ryan Kohart took the podium at his final men's lacrosse banquet and gave what was by all accounts a classy and eloquent speech.
"The team was in turmoil and had had a tough season," said his father. "Some people were pointing at the coach. But he told the juniors who were soon to be seniors that they had to look at themselves and work with the coaching staff to make the program better. He really came across positively. He was always that kind of person who people looked up to. He always did the right thing."
Another thing he always did was spend the summer in the Hamptons. It was something people from that area of the state did naturally, like Triangle residents making their annual trip to North Carolina's beaches.
The summer of 1998 turned out to be more than just the typical summer, because it was then that Kohart met Melissa White. A student at Holy Cross, White also spent most of her summers in the Hamptons. Ryan was earning money parking cars at a beach club, and their paths crossed.
"He was so thoughtful and caring of others," White said. "He was so sweet and so kind. He was a perfect little gentleman."
Kohart finished his degree at Carolina the next fall semester while simultaneously dating White, who completed her studies at Holy Cross the next spring. After graduation, it was time for the next phase of Kohart's plan.
Geoffrey Kohart, Sr., remembers September 11: "I work on Wall Street, and I couldn't see the building, but I could see the debris. I started calling him on the phone and there was no answer. I was with a couple of people from my office and we started over there, and didn't get halfway there before the second tower collapsed. It was a huge wall of white smoke and powder.
"We headed east and had to walk over the Brooklyn Bridge to get out of Manhattan. This was about 30 minutes after the plane had hit, and the building came down while we were on the bridge. All the emergency vehicles were on the bridge. It was a bizarre scene that you never thought you'd be in.
"We thought he had a chance to get down because the North Tower was up for quite a long time. I walked through Brooklyn and got a train to where we live. All our family had gathered there. I said to my wife, Joy, that we just have to be lucky.
"Then it was two or three days of them saying that people had been sent to different hospitals or here or there, and it was just a difficult time. Everyone was telephoning. What we eventually realized was that where those planes hit, anyone above there just didn't have a chance, because the planes were filled with jet fuel. Once we realized that, we went from hoping to coping."
Working in New York City was always in Ryan Kohart's plan. He had interned on Wall Street on several occasions, and his father worked there as well. Within two weeks of graduation from Carolina he had a job as a junior equities trader, and he proceeded to get all the necessary licenses. After fulfilling the necessary requirements, he moved to an attractive job at Cantor Fitzgerald, where he worked in the North Tower of the World Trade Center every day.
Established in 1945, Cantor had evolved into a global financial services conglomerate. It occupied 250,000 square feet of space over five floors of the WTC, sharing room with eSpeed, its subsidiary for electronic trading. It was a high-pressure environment, but the daily grind also created a family atmosphere.
"The type of person who worked there was exactly who Ryan was," White said. "They were so driven professionally but also had so many outside interests. On the outside it would look like work came first, but really it was family and friends who came way before that. Everybody there was just what you would call your typical great guy."
658 of those lives perished on the morning of September 11. Ryan Kohart was one of them. Garden City lost 21 citizens, the most of any local community. Occasionally, Geoffrey Kohart sees a neighbor on his block riding his bike with his three sons. The neighbor's wife, who Kohart used to see regularly on the train into the city, died in the attacks.
Ryan's memorial service, like the hearts of those in the area, overflowed. The main floor of the Cathedral of Incarnation, which holds about 800 people, was packed. The basement level was filled to capacity. Estimates put the crowd at between 1300 and 1400 people. The staggering attendance represented less than half of the lives lost on the 11th.
Almost immediately, the Kohart family began looking for a suitable memorial. White remembered a conversation she and her fiancé had had when planning their future.
"Everyone was asking me what Ryan's charity was and where they should donate, and we just thought the lacrosse scholarship would be a good idea," she said. "He had always wanted to give back something to Carolina because he had loved it so much, and he wanted to do that through a lacrosse scholarship."
A fund was established almost immediately. In their talks, Ryan and Melissa had always imagined it as a full scholarship. The initial goal was simply to fund a half-scholarship, which involved a still-daunting total of $75,000. In less than six months, the Ryan Kohart Memorial Scholarship Fund sprinted past the half-scholarship mark and now is nearing $120,000, just $30,000 away from Kohart's dream of being able to fund a scholarship for a lucky Tar Heel lacrosse player.
Donations have come from a variety of places. In lieu of giving wedding favors, one couple made a contribution to the scholarship and put notes on every table at their reception indicating their donation and the address where guests could follow suit.
"It has been very unique, as was the incident that spurred its creation," said Sue Walsh, the Educational Foundation's vice president for endowment. "Generally, when you do a memorial scholarship, you have a few individuals donate and you get up to a couple thousand dollars. It's amazing the different types of fund-raisers that have been held. Everyone in our office who has come in contact with the family has gotten great strength from their fortitude."
The lives of his family and friends go on, even while it sometimes seems that they, too, stopped on September 11. On May 11 in Garden City a memorial lacrosse game was held and Ryan's high school number was retired, the first number ever to be so honored by the school. Brett, who was spurred by the tragic events to follow his dream as a songwriter and musician, has played several benefit concerts with his band, Acquiesce. The group recently raised almost $10,000 for the scholarship fund with concerts in Chapel Hill.
Cantor Fitzgerald recently signed a lease on new office space on 57th Street in Manhattan, filling 80,000 square feet on five floors. Kohart's parents took a month-long trip to Florida this spring to decompress. His father has dramatically decreased the amount of time he spends at his downtown office, choosing instead to work more frequently from his home office. Family members have been tested for DNA so that recovery workers can attempt to match unidentified remains with Ryan's genetic characteristics. But even as they hope for a match in order to provide some closure, his father said that they have another image in mind, one that recalls that perfect day last summer on the island of Capri.
"The wind was blowing out toward the Atlantic that day," said Geoffrey Kohart, Sr. "With all the heat that was in that building, we have this image of Ryan and all the people he worked with just blowing out into the ocean."
Melissa White remembers September 11: "I work downtown at an investment bank and I was a stone's throw away from the towers. I was probably about 100 feet away. If you weren't there, it's hard to relive it for you. The media makes it seem gentle...You relive it every single day. It's a personal hell every day that I wake up and it's that much harder."
Kohart and White were to be married on September 7, 2002.
2013 update: The Ryan Kohart Memorial Scholarship Fund was eventually funded to over $155,000. A men's lacrosse player is selected as the recipient each year; this year, it's Ryan Kilpatrick, a junior from West Chester, Pa.
The principal of Rams Club's scholarships stays intact and the interest is used to pay for the cost of educating the student-athlete. As such, contributions to the fund are still being accepted in an effort to grow the principal to $400,000. If you would like to contribute to the scholarship, make your check payable to The Educational Foundation and mail to PO Box 2446, Chapel Hill 27515 with a notation for the Ryan Kohart Memorial Scholarship Fund, or contact Sue Walsh about stock gifts.

Learn what the IEA is all about in two minutes
Our Mission Statement
The Interfaith Encounter Association is dedicated to promoting peace in the Middle East through interfaith dialogue and cross-cultural study. We believe that, rather than being a cause of the problem, religion can and should be a source of the solution for conflicts that exist in the region and beyond.
In Greater Details
It's easy to watch the news at a time like this and feel powerless. But despite this latest flareup of hostility in the Holy Land, and with the help of the Interfaith Encounter Association, we are coming together – now more than ever – to build bridges, overcome prejudice by replacing it with face-to-face knowledge, and thus ensure a better future for ourselves and our children.
There's an old proverb that says:
"If your vision is for a year, plant wheat. If your vision is for ten years, plant trees. If your vision is for a lifetime, plant people."
Those words really speak to us, because that's exactly what we have been doing since 2001, as members of the IEA. We're in this for the long haul. And our efforts are bearing fruit, recruiting more activists to the cause of peace than any other organization in the Holy Land – thus far, over 8500 participants have met the Other in a deep and life-changing way in the IEA's 73 encounter groups.
Making enemies into friends isn't easy. It means taking risks, making oneself vulnerable, and reaching out to those who other groups give up on, or don't even try to involve. But by cultivating an approach which is truly different, which utilizes the power of religion as a force for peace and compassion instead of conflict, we are building a mass-movement of people who refuse to be enemies.
How YOU can make a difference:
- Help spread the word by sharing this with others.
- Become involved. If you'd like to contribute your time and skills to the organization and attend encounters, please send us a note at firstname.lastname@example.com
- Please make a financial contribution. We need your help to keep going! Your donation of:
- $30 – covers printing and communications costs for one encounter session
- $60 – buys food for one encounter session
- $100 – pays for transportation for Palestinian youth to come to Israel for an encounter session
- $250 – allows us to retain trained coordinators of one encounter session
- $500 – covers all the costs for one Palestinian and Israeli Youth Encounter
- $1,000 – pays for one conference
- $5,000 – can sustain one ongoing dialogue group for one year.
Please contribute now online at http://interfaithencounter.wordpress.com/donate/. As always, all contributions of any size are very warmly appreciated!

The site itself doesn't seem to have any strict mode stuff, but ga_redirect is strict-mode.... but that shouldn't break it, I'd think. I also don't get the exceptions from comment 1.

Heads Up! Several New Laws Aimed at Improving Safety
Several new laws going into effect on January 1, 2010 are aimed at making roads safer for travelers of all kinds: pedestrians, bicyclists, drivers and passengers. Here's an overview of several specific laws:
'Move Over' law. The Move Over law requires a motorist to move over to another lane if there is an emergency vehicle on the shoulder with its lights flashing. If you cannot move over safely (for example, there is a big truck in the next lane or it's a two-lane road), you are required to slow down. For 2010, the law has added two types of vehicles to the list of "emergency vehicles" requiring motorists to move over or slow down: 1) roadside assistance vehicles; and 2) tow trucks. In addition, the law clarifies that "slow down" means slowing down to at least 5 mph below the posted speed limit.
Cell phone use. A new law bans using mobile communications devices while driving unless you are using a hands-free device (drivers under 18 are banned from using any kind of mobile communications device whether it is hands free or not). The law is intended to improve safety on Oregon roads by discouraging distracted driving. There are some exceptions to the ban, such as for those using a mobile communications device while driving if the vehicle is necessary for the person's job, or for emergencies. In general, however, drivers should stay focused on the driving task and avoid distractions of any kind.
Motorcycle endorsement. The new law increases the penalty for riding a motorcycle without a motorcycle endorsement from a Class B ($360) to a Class A ($720) violation. The law also requires a court to suspend the fine for the violation if the rider completes training and receives a motorcycle endorsement within 120 days of sentencing. For information on how to get a motorcycle endorsement, visit the DMV Web site, www.oregondmv.com. For information on Oregon's approved motorcycle rider education courses, visit the TEAM Oregon Web site, www.team-oregon.org.
Motorcycle training. The new law phases in the requirement that all new motorcycle riders complete an ODOT-approved motorcycle safety course before they can be issued a motorcycle endorsement by DMV. Beginning Jan 1, 2011, all new motorcycle riders under the age of 31 must complete the TEAM Oregon basic rider training course as part of the endorsement process unless they have a valid motorcycle-endorsed license from another state. The knowledge test and on-cycle drive test option, as well as the intermediate rider course and knowledge test option, will not be available to riders under age 31. Additional age groups will be phased-in.
For information on how to get a motorcycle endorsement, visit the DMV Web site, www.oregondmv.com. For information on Oregon's approved motorcycle rider education courses, visit the TEAM Oregon Web site, www.team-oregon.org.
DUII penalties. A revised law allows a greater minimum fine for a person convicted of DUII with a blood alcohol level of .15 percent or higher. The new minimum is $2,000. Previously, there wasn't a different fine based on BAC level.

I assume we're all in favour of openness, accountability and free exchange of information, but do you ever secretly long for a time when we didn't know quite so much about people's lives, whether they be public figures or not?
This was, of course, the days before Twitter, an age when people kept their feelings to themselves, or at least didn't have such easy access to a medium on which they could express their every thought. I have said previously that I regard Twitter as the most powerful new medium of my lifetime, and that we're only now just grappling with its possibilities as a frighteningly efficient means of disseminating news and opinions, as well as its use as a publicity tool.
Stephen Fry, for instance, has an astounding 4.4 million followers. Just imagine what that means for the efficacy in getting across any message he chooses.
If he wanted to stand for parliament, or be chosen as the people's head of state, he'd have quite a start. No need to do a round of tiresome interviews when the new box set of QI comes out, he can recline on his sofa in his dressing gown (I don't know why, but this mental image just surfaced) and a few key strokes on his iPhone will suffice.
But it is the very convenience and simplicity of Twitter that gets people into trouble, and we have seen an outstanding example of this during the past few days with the disintegration of the marriage of Ben Goldsmith and Kate Rothschild, above.
As scions of two of Britain's most notoriously rich families, it stands to reason that even this most private of catastrophes would attract public attention and comment. And in the past, various PR flunkies would have tried to put their client's side of the story. Now, however, there's no need for the dark arts to be employed: the principals spill every emotion within the confines of 140 characters.
So he calls her "appalling" and says she should pay more consideration to the children, and she seemed to suggest her husband had in the past been cheating on her. So far, so undignified.
Then wiser counsel prevailed, and the couple issued a joint declaration that they would tweet no more. But when you're feeling angry, grief-stricken, betrayed or misunderstood, the temptation to have one more hit of the narcotic that is Twitter may be too powerful to resist.
So when, in a newspaper article, Janet Street-Porter took the couple to task for "letting it all hang out", Mrs Goldsmith was back, angrily punching those keys. I wish I didn't know as much as I do about the Goldsmiths' marital problems, but I do think a very powerful point about the appeal of Twitter as an unmediated court of opinion emerged from this sad affair.
Mrs Goldsmith tweeted that she wanted to avoid her opinions being "twisted and magimixed by the press". She added: "Twitter is the only recourse for most." Alternatively, she could have a word with Stephen Fry: much more effective that way.Follow @Simon_Kelner Reuse content

It seems like just yesterday we watched San Antonio Spurs great David Robinson interact with his kids in Oreo cookies commercial where he complimented a very young Corey Robinson on his cookie dunking abilities.
Robinson now compliments Corey on touchdown catches as a junior at San Antonio Christian High School, and Robinson will more than likely be making a few trips to South Bend, Indiana not too far down the road.
According to a report from the Fort Wayne Journal Gazette, Corey committed to attend and play for Notre Dame as part of the 2013 Irish recruiting class.
Robinson, who is rated a three-star prospect by Rivals.com, is the ninth player to commit to Notre Dame and the sixth pledge since Saturday. He is also the second receiver to join the Irish's Class of 2013, joining Minnesota's James Onwualu.
The 6-foot-4, 195-pound Robinson is the son of former San Antonio Spurs center David Robinson. He caught 42 passes for 660 yards with 10 touchdowns last season for San Antonio Christian.
Corey also had scholarship offers from Iowa, North Carolina, Wake Forest, Kansas and Navy, where his father was an All-American.
"There was something about (this past weekend's visit). I can't explain it," Robinson told Rivals.com. "Me and my dad and my mom, we were just praying about it. We just felt that the Lord gave us a lot of peace when we went on that campus, peace about Notre Dame ... I did not see a reason to wait if I had that peace about it."
While Corey is excelling on the gridiron as opposed to the hardwood, the apple clearly didn't fall far from the tree in this case.
