An accused Ecstasy dealer known as "Super Dave" who has already served five stints in Florida prisons has been indicted by a federal grand jury.
David Shawn Poindexter, 46, of the 1220 block of Watson Street, was indicted Dec. 20 on two counts of distribution of a controlled substance, and one count of possession with intent to distribute a controlled substance.
He faces a maximum sentence of 60 years in federal prison if convicted on those counts.
Poindexter's arraignment before U.S. Magistrate Lurana Snow has been tentatively scheduled for Jan. 6 in Key West, according to court records.
Poindexter, who was arrested earlier this month by Key West police on cocaine charges, is currently facing both state and federal drug charges, but Monroe County Assistant State Attorney Mark Wilson said he expects the state charges will be dropped in light of the larger federal case.
The defense attorney for Poindexter, Richard Wunsch of Key West, has declined to comment on both pending cases.
In the most recent case, Poindexter admitted to investigators that he sold "thousands of tablets of MDMA (Ecstasy) over the last several months," records state.
In all, local and federal authorities seized about 6 ounces of cocaine and 1,464 tablets of Ecstasy from his home, as well as from his employer's business, Island Safari Rentals at 424 Greene St., according to federal court records.
Poindexter reportedly told agents with the Department of Homeland Security Investigations that 1.4 grams of cocaine, 3 Valium pills and 878 tablets of Ecstasy found at the rental shop were his, as well as 167 grams of cocaine and 586 Ecstasy pills later found at his Watson Street home.
The case began when Key West police used an undercover informant to make two small, $100 buys of cocaine -- 1 gram and a second for 1.7 grams -- from Poindexter while he worked at the rental shop, according to federal court records.
Poindexter has been in and out of Florida prisons since 1987, mostly on break-in convictions, with his most recent stint being a five-year stay from 2002 to 2007 on a burglary charge out of Volusia County, according to Department of Corrections records.
He is being held at Monroe County Detention Center on Stock Island under no bail.

Ulf Ekman, founder of Word of Life megachurch in Sweden, stunned his congregation on Sunday when he announced he and his wife are converting to Catholicism.
Ekman's Word of Life ministry includes a congregation of about 3,000 with a staff of 12 pastors. He also launched Scandinavia's largest Bible school and constructed the largest free church building in Scandinavia. His recorded teachings have been spread around the world, he has published books in 60 languages and his television media program has a presence on all seven continents.
Ekman said of his journey toward Catholicism:
"We have seen a great love for Jesus and a sound theology, founded on the Bible and classic dogma. We have experienced the richness of sacramental life. We have seen the logic in having a solid structure for priesthood, that keeps the faith of the church and passes it on from one generation to the next. We have met an ethical and moral strength and consistency that dare to face up to the general opinion, and a kindness towards the poor and the weak. And, last but not least, we have come in contact with representatives for millions of charismatic Catholics and we have seen their living faith."
Ekman also admitted that his prejudices against the Catholic faith were proven false upon further study of Church teaching. He said:
"It really challenged our Protestant prejudices, and we realized that we, in many cases, did not have any basis for our criticism of them. We needed to know the Catholic faith better. This led us to the realize that it was actually Jesus Christ who led us to unite with the Catholic Church."

On the back of the package I received, there is a paper label attached below the diagram of how to prepare the seaweed, reading: "California's Proposition 65 WARNING: This product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm." What?!..... Is this referring to potentially high levels of mercury or other contaminants in sea plants? Or to preservatives in this particular product (I couldn't find an ingredients list to check this). Perhaps because there is a preservative packet inside which is not meant to be eaten? (although I've never seen a warning such as that for a common preservative packet). I've never seen a warning like that on a food item before and found it rather disconcerting, especially as it wasn't listed on the product online when I bought it.

Located half a billion light-years from Earth, ESO 306-17, is a large, bright elliptical galaxy in the southern sky of a type known as a fossil group. Astronomers use this term to emphasize the isolated nature of these galaxies. However, are they like fossils -- the last remnants of a once active community -- or is it more sinister than that? Did ESO 306-17 gobble up its next-door neighbors?
Gravity brings galaxies together and bigger ones swallow smaller ones. There is evidence that our own Milky Way galaxy has "snacked" on numerous smaller galaxies that strayed too close. ESO 306-17 and other fossil groups may be the most extreme examples of galaxy cannibalism, ravenous systems that don't stop until they've devoured all of their neighbors.
In this image, taken by the Advanced Camera for Surveys aboard Hubble in November 2008, it appears that ESO 306-17 is surrounded by other galaxies, but the bright galaxies at bottom left are thought to be in the foreground, not at the same distance in the sky. In reality, ESO 306-17 lies fairly abandoned in an enormous sea of dark matter and hot gas.
When zooming in closely on ESO 306-17, one can see faint clusters of stars through the bright shine of the galaxy's large halo. These are globular clusters -- tightly bound groups of stars that can often fend off cannibalism from larger, "bully" galaxies. Studying these surrounding clusters will prove helpful to astronomers in their pursuit to put the pieces of ESO 306-17's history together.
Researchers are also using this image to search for nearby ultra-compact dwarf galaxies. Ultra-compact dwarfs are mini versions of dwarf galaxies that have been left with only their core due to interaction with larger, more powerful galaxies. Most ultra-compact dwarfs discovered to date are located near giant elliptical galaxies in large clusters of galaxies, so it will be interesting to see if researchers find similar objects in fossil groups.

THANK YOU! I found this via pinterest for my daughter's 2nd birthday -- she is obsessed with Mickey. But I wanted something simple that she could wear the rest of the year too. I used red polka dot fabric & a walmart "garanimals" white tee. And followed your directions to a T -- My machine left it a bit gappy in between the stitches on the smallest setting so I went around twice (it looks more like your Etsy example when done). Its perfect!! And bonus it didn't take me long, which is great since the party is in 2 hours! haha :PReplyDelete

Monthly Business Conditions
Business Conditions Report: May 2013
Tuesday, May 21, 2013
For more information, please contact Christie Carmigiano
CLEVELAND, OH—May 21, 2013—According to the May 2013 Precision Metalforming Association (PMA) Business Conditions Report, metalforming companies anticipate steady business conditions during the next three months. Conducted monthly, the report is an economic indicator for manufacturing, sampling 110 metalforming companies in the United States and Canada.
The May report shows that 63% of participants predict that economic activity will remain unchanged during the next three months (up from 56% in April), 23% believe that activity will improve (down from 28% in April) and 14% forecast that activity will decline (compared to 16% in April).
Metalforming companies expect little change in incoming orders during the next three months, with 34% anticipating an increase in orders (down from 37% in April), 47% predicting no change (compared to 42% last month) and 19% expecting a decrease in orders (down from 21% in April).
Average daily shipping levels increased in May. Forty-one percent of participants report that shipping levels are above levels of three months ago (up from 34% in April), 41% report that shipping levels are the same as three months ago (compared to 44% in April), and 18% report a decrease in shipping levels (down from 22% in April).
The percentage of metalforming companies with a portion of their workforce on short time or layoff dipped to 11% in May, down from 14% in April. The May figure is similar to one year ago, when 10% of metalformers reported workers on short time or layoff.
"Suppliers of metal parts and assemblies experienced modest gains in orders during the first quarter of 2013, but suffered a 6% decrease in shipments compared to March 2012," said William E. Gaskin, PMA president. "The automotive market is the sector with the strongest shipments, but most other markets have leveled off or declined somewhat from levels consistent with 2012. Expectations for the balance of the year rest on whether Congress and the President are able to address the critical budget and tax issues faced by all manufacturers. Congress and the President need to set aside their partisan differences and take action to ensure that the manufacturing sector continues to grow."
The monthly Business Conditions Report has been conducted by PMA since 1979. Full report results are available at http://www.pma.org/public/business_reports/pdf/BCREP.pdf. PMA is the full-service trade association representing the $113-billion metalforming industry of North America—the industry that creates precision metal products using stamping, fabricating, spinning, slide forming and roll forming technologies, and other value-added processes. Its nearly 900 member companies also include suppliers of equipment, materials and services to the industry. PMA leads innovative member companies toward superior competitiveness and profitability through advocacy, networking, statistics, the PMA Educational Foundation, FABTECH and METALFORM tradeshows, and MetalForming and Fabricating Product News magazines.

On The Bayfront
By Elisa Hinken
Bits and Pieces …
Tree alert! Many trees upstate have been defoliated by an eastern caterpillar invasion. I've seen a few "tents" in trees around here, but we are lucky enough to have a natural balance to circumvent an epidemic. We also don't have as many fruit trees as in rural areas. This eastern tent caterpillar is a native pest that defoliates trees during its larval stage. The larvae produces a conspicuous silken tent in the spring. Their favorite trees are cherry and apple, but will feed on other forest and fruit trees as well.
The insect over-winters in egg clusters wrapped around twigs. The eggs begin to hatch in the spring when buds break and leaves begin to expand. The larvae begin constructing a tent on a branch crotch near where they hatched. They will leave the nest to feed and return to rest. When the larvae are almost fully grown they will often come down out of the tree and congregate. They will enter a resting stage (pupate). Pupation occurs in silken cocoons. The adults will then appear as moths and eventually lay eggs for the following year. There is one generation per year.
An effective control on small trees is to prune egg masses before they hatch, or you can destroy the larvae when they are young in the nest. They often stay in their nest on a rainy day and return to the nest at night.
Populations have been known to increase to high numbers on a ten year cycle. Natural controls including a virus, parasitic fly, bacterial disease, or a combination will eventually cause the population to crash.
In other news, the fishing season has been the finest in all my memory (I'm creeping toward that "half century mark"). How do we hypothesize this? Cleaner water? Cooler than normal water and air temperatures keeping the Spring season around a little longer? Have marine recreational fishing regulations been THAT effective for conservation purposes? Global warming? El Niño? Rising sea levels? I really don't have the answer, but it may be a combination of factors. Whatever the reason, I hope people are taking advantage of the fine fishing we've been experiencing. With 7 ½ miles of beach, a vast bay and open inlet, the Rockaway community has the opportunity to be one of the finest angling territories on the eastern seaboard. However, our communities have been slow to support this sport. Local park regulations are too steep and do not properly address this issue. A minority of the fishing population are slobs. Lack of marinas, parking and bait shops are an issue. The village of Montauk touts little motels and "bed and breakfasts" which cater to the angler. It's one thing if our sleepy little community were self sufficient, but it's not. Attracting tourism for angling sportsmanship can do wonders for our local economy. Rockaway is back on the map because of new quality housing and surfing. Let's keep the momentum going by supporting better infrastructure while preserving and building upon our recreational opportunities. We need to preserve all available waterfront as well.
Finally, my last bit… did you know that we have an artificial reef about 1.6 nautical miles off the coast of Rockaway? Artificial reefs have long been used to enhance marine habitat and attract marine fish and other animals for harvest. Reefs are built of any hard, durable structure that simulates the habitat of particular species of fish, crustaceans or mollusks. Most artificial reefs in New York are made of rock, concrete, or steel, usually in the form of surplus or scrap materials. Reefs were developed to provide new fisheries habitat and more accessible fishing grounds for anglers. Divers also visit our reefs for nature observation, photography, and catching lobsters. Fishes common to New York reefs include blackfish (tautog), black sea bass, porgy (scup), bergall (cunner), hake, and cod. Specifically, the reef is 413 acres (2000 yards by 1000 yards) in size and 32 to 40 feet deep. It was formed by sinking 6,000 tires in 3-tire units; 60 steel buoys; rock; concrete slabs, pipes, culvert, decking and rubble. One tire unit is configured into a 15-tire pyramid. There is an unconfirmed report of 16 auto bodies sunk, probably disintegrated by now. By the way, fish pots are banned by State Law from being placed at this reef.

Steelers Fall To Raiders, Now 1-2 On Season
Ben Roethlisberger had a good day, throwing for 384 yards and 4 touchdowns. But the running backs only combined for 54 yards rushing.
Fumbles were costly. Antonio Brown lost the ball late in the game. That lead to the Raiders tying the game on a field goal. And the Steeler defense couldn't hold Carson Palmer and the offense. Palmer did have an interception, but also threw for 3 touchdowns.
Pittsburgh falls to 1-2 on the season. They'll have a bye next week, and then play the Philadelphia Eagles on October 7th at Heinz Field.

TUC works for vulnerable workers
A government minister has seen a groundbreaking TUC-run project that is providing vulnerable workers in London's East End with badly needed employment advice. Minister for employment relations Pat McFadden met with local workers at the TUC's Vulnerable Workers Project (VWP) this week. VWP, based in Whitechapel, is a £400,000 project funded by the Department for Business (BERR). The pilot, which started preparatory work in April last year before being launched in November, focuses on workers in the cleaning, security and building services sectors working in the City of London and Tower Hamlets. It offers support, advice and training for workers experiencing problems, and free training on employment rights for local employers. Already hundreds of workers have turned to the project for help. Pat McFadden said the government has brought in employment rights on topics including health and safety, the minimum wage and flexible working. He added: 'Most employers do the right thing and implement these rights fairly, but there are dark corners of the labour market where rogue employers try to exploit people, so it's vital we enforce the law to protect vulnerable workers' rights. That's why we're doubling the number of agency inspectors to investigate abuses and boosting penalties for those who break agency laws or don't pay the national minimum wage.' TUC general Secretary Brendan Barber said: 'The VWP has heard from workers in London who are working excessively long hours, have no contract of employment, are receiving low pay or are not being paid for all the hours they work, and are not getting any health and safety training. Unions are keen to help workers stop rogue employers from using an ignorance of UK employment law or a poor grasp of English or as an excuse to treat people badly.'

Speaking Spanish does have its advantages. For instance, while on the bus, there were several seemingly random stops in what seemed to be the middle of nowhere. Rather than panic about South American bus hold-ups or other dangerous road crimes that all local taxi-drivers conspired together to warn women traveling by themselves about, I was able to eaves drop on fellow passengers. "The bus must have dropped a piece of luggage" mused one passenger. "We must be picking up hitchhikers," supposed another. And like magic, a few minutes later, one or two passengers/hitch hikers would board and we were on our way again.
The hotel I was staying at in Puerto Natales was definitely budget, but nice and comfortable for a few days stay. The driver there, Nelson, went to pick me up at the bus station. He was very friendly, but didn�t smile. The next day, he took myself and another passenger, Gustavo, to Torres del Paine. After a few hours of joking with him, he finally revealed a toothless smile.
So back to Gustavo, he continued to flirt. He bragged about his company and how much money he made last year. He claimed that he could take care of me. Ummm. No thanks. I can take care of myself. He continued with compliments. "Dominican women are so beautiful. I can�t imagine why you�re single.".....so I fibbed. Another, woman traveling alone harmless white lie! I told him I had a boyfriend back home and showed a picture of a friend I had in my camera. I waited until both him and Nelson were there in order to do my show and tell. Since Nelson himself, had flirted a few times, flashing his toothless grin shamelessly once he became comfortable with me. I must say, after I showed the picture, they were both extremely respectful and actually asked for details of my fictitious relationship!
On the boat, I met Francisco, from Vi�as del Mar. He was traveling by himself on business and booked the boat trip on his day off. We quickly noticed we were the only solo travelers and linked up for the you take my picture and I�ll take yours bit. We also buddied up with Miguel and Manuel from Andaluc�a, Spain and Juliana and Paolo from Brazil. We had such a great time, both on the boat and also on the 30 minute hike to the big blocks of ice.

Discussion in 'Chevy Silverado Forum (GMC Sierra)' started by ChevyFan, Nov 4, 2009.
Pretty nice. I wonder how much it cost.
I like it. Paint not so much, but it is definitely pretty cool
It looks good, looks like how a truck should look, what are the specs like.
I like it, the rear end reminds me of the 60s model trucks with the stamped Chevrolet gate. The HD style front clip, colors don't go well but do like the black center. Did we get interior pictures? I didn't go through all the pages. I do agree however that the front bumper is rather low for an aggressive off road vehicle. One more thing, not complaining but just wondering why did Chevy & Ford go from SS Silverados & Lightnings to ZR2 & Raptors?
Well this was from 2009 SEMA? has anything like it came out? It's been at least 2 years. Personally I love the look but I am a little bias, I would rather have a Schwinn than a Ford and yes I have owned many Fords in my life. I am a 4x2 guy you know sport trucks? so I would like to see a 2wd model. Go Chevy. By the way, the government I.E. you and I the tax payer only owns 26% of GM. It is not like they have controlling interest or something. Also, I think GM could have recovered without the Government bail out but I surely didn't want to see GM disappear.
I'm in love. That thing is gorgeous...my truck will be paid off in 2 months...hmmmmm hahahah
I would like to place that front bumper in the back window of a Toyota Prius! Awesome truck. Needs different paint color though.
Oh Yeah, It looks 100% better than the Ford 'Atlas' and with a supercharger I'll bet it a real monster on a 1/4 mile strip. But why can't GM get the paint schemes worked out ? Why did the two-tone paint option disappear ? I know I own an old truck, but you'd be surprised how many guys ask "What year is that ?" and once I tell them, they all say the same thing, "why no two tone paint ? Mine has Black over a gold bottom. Last one I saw like it was a 1999 Silverado 1500 ? The two tone breaks up the "Massive" bulk of the side view of the profile of the truck. just my $0.02 !
Not a fan of the color at all!

Hi. I've been dealing with this issue since a loong loong time ago on many linux workstations, so I was wondering if there is a workaround. I could just use HTML5, but not all websites like showing embedded youtube videos using HTML5. And the playlist view in youtube doesn't support HTML5 too.
Sometimes it's broken, somtimes not. I'm using the latest flashplayer from arch repos. And by the way flash doesn't work on the native Linux Steam, but that's another and not important problem. Here is how it looks like.

I don't have any ideas. You may want to tell us which browser you are using.
Nothing is too wonderful to be true, if it be consistent with the laws of nature -- Michael Faraday
You assume people are rational and influenced by evidence. You must not work with the public much. -- Trilby
How to Ask Questions the Smart Way
The browser doesn't matter within this issue. I use chromium, firefox, opera and this happens sometimes when changing from 360p to 720p or 1080p, well still it's a mistery why this occurs.
I'm gonna bump this up, because the issue is still present.
Does this happen entirely randomly, or is it reproducible on certain videos?
Which graphics driver are you using?
This happens randomly for me. And I have noticed it with different distros.
Hmm, using KDE4 Plasma, Google Chrome, and AMD Catalyst drivers here and Flash videos work nearly flawlessly. What's your graphics driver?
Hmm, using KDE4 Plasma, Google Chrome, and AMD Catalyst drivers here and Flash videos work nearly flawlessly. What's your graphics driver?
Could the difference be in the flashplugin being used? If you are using Google Chrome wouldn't it be different than the stock flash in the repo. Not that this solves the matter since I use the repo flash w/ firefox and don't have any problems. Perhaps the op should try Google Chrome and see if a different flashplugin fixes his problem?
I laugh, yet the joke is on me

An outbreak of chikungunya in the Caribbean region was reported from the French part of the island of Saint Martin on 5 December 2013. It is the first time that autochthonous transmission of the virus has been documented in the Americas. An ECDC risk assessment of the outbreak published on 12 December concluded that the risk of the disease spreading to other islands in the region was high. Since then, new chikungunya cases have been reported from several islands in the Caribbean.
As of 9 January 2014, the following number of cases has been reported:

Associated Press
CHARLESTON, Mo. - Cornealious "Mike" Anderson spent 13 years free from prison due to a clerical error, then nearly a year behind bars when the mistake was caught. On Monday, he walked out of a southeast Missouri courtroom a free man again - this time with no need to look over his shoulder.
Mississippi County Associate Circuit Judge Terry Lynn Brown needed just a 10-minute hearing before ruling that he was giving Anderson credit for time served for all 4,794 days between his conviction and when he was arrested last year. The judge granted Anderson his immediate freedom.
Anderson, 37, left the courthouse with his wife and 3-year-old daughter on one arm, his grandmother on the other, tears in all of their eyes.
"Very happy," Anderson said as he climbed into a sport utility vehicle for the ride home to suburban St. Louis and a planned family celebration. "My faith has always been in God. I'm just so thankful. I just thank God for everybody."
Anderson was 23 when he was sentenced to 13 years in prison for his role in the robbery of a fast-food restaurant's assistant manager. He told The Associated Press last month that he waited, and even asked about going to prison, but the order never came.
In the years since his conviction, Anderson started his own construction-related businesses, married and had children. He also coached youth football and volunteered at his church in Webster Groves, Missouri.
At the hearing Monday, Anderson's attorney, Patrick Megaro, said Anderson remained out of prison through no fault of his own, and in the intervening years, turned his life around.
"He has been able to accomplish for himself what the criminal justice system does not accomplish in many situations," Megaro told the judge.
Brown agreed. He pointed out that Anderson's crime was serious, but acknowledged that he's a far different man now than he was then.
"You've been a good father," Brown said. "You've been a good husband. You've been a good taxpaying citizen of the state of Missouri.
"That leads me to believe that you are a good man and a changed man."
As the judge announced his decision, about 10 of Anderson's relatives broke out in sobs and cried. Some hugged and thanked God.
Anderson's plight drew international headlines last month. An online petition on change.org includes more than 35,000 signatures urging the state to set him free.
The release was met with virtually no resistance from the Missouri Attorney General's Office. Assistant Attorney General Michael Spillane told Brown the court should consider the seriousness of Anderson's crime, but also Anderson's behavior over the 13 years of his freedom and the impact that imprisonment would have on his family.
Attorney General Chris Koster said in a statement, "From the outset, I have proposed a solution that balances the seriousness of Mr. Anderson's crime with the mistake made by the criminal justice system and Mr. Anderson's lack of a criminal record over the past 13 years. Today's outcome appears to appropriately balance the facts as we understand them."
The judge said that rather than grant parole, Anderson would get credit for the entirety of the time he should have been in prison. The distinction is important because it means Anderson doesn't have to report to a parole agent.
Megaro lauded the state's understanding of an occurrence that is exceedingly rare.
"This was not an easy case," Megaro said. "I believe it teaches us that justice can be swift, justice can be harsh, but justice also can be merciful."
Anderson had never been convicted of a serious crime before the robbery. He was sentenced to 13 years in prison for the holdup, then told to wait for orders that would specify when and where he was to report to prison. But the orders never came. Anderson suspected his case had been overlooked and asked his former attorney what to do.
"Day by day, month by month, year by year, time passed, and they never picked me up," he said in an interview last month.

Hunter's First Shrimp Tank
6 Attachment(s)
Hello everyone! Thanks for taking a second to look at my first shrimp tank.
All I have now is low grade Cherry's thanks to Soothing Shrimp.
I'll post more later. Just wanted to get a few pictures up now.
Looks like they are really enjoying your planted scape!
I agree.
Nice growth, what plants do you have in there?
Beautiful tank man, let me know when you get some extra moss you need to sell. Keep up the hard work!
Hello everyone. Sorry this weekend got real busy.
It's time I took a min and updated at least what plants I have and then I have a few questions.
Forgbit - Love it in this tank!
Anubias - It's in the back corner attached to the DW. You can't really see it because the moss has really grown out.
Moss - I'm not sure what type. I bought it a long time ago and it has been in another tank. Believe it or not the moss is tied to some cholla(SP) wood. It has totally engulfed it. Maybe someone can tell me what it is if they know what it is?
Bacopa Caroliniana - in the back right corner. For some reason in this tank it is turning red. Don't know why but I love it!
Baby Tears covers the front right. It's not the dwarf kind. It's much easier to grow. It's time for a trim actually.
Over the last week I have had three shrimp deaths. It looks like it was from a bad molt. Keep in mind this is my first shrimp tank so I'm not sure what a bad molt is. But it looks like they have a crack on the back of their shell like the were trying to molt but didn't.
It seams that something in my tank is lowering the GH. I have be using distilled water from the supermarket and remineralizing it with MMP. I get the GH to about 8 and then in a few days it's back down around 5. I have my TDS up to about 230 trying to keep in at 8. Any ideas to why this is happening or am I just crazy.
Thanks everyone.
Sounds great, what moss is it? I got two pieces of driftwood that would love it :)
Tank looks awesome! Do you have any pics of how you modded the filter area or a more detailed description? You told me about it briefly in my journal and I was curious what exactly you did because it sounded great.
That's okay that you don't know which moss it is. I would research it when I could take a better look at it. Or you could post it in the plants section and ask for some help ID'ing it.
Got some IAL for the shrimp tank. What all do they do exactly? It's my understanding they help lower the ph. If thats all the do I will just put them in the back of the filter. But if the shrimp actually feed on them I will move them to tank its self.
I think I finally have the tank at parameters the shrimp like. I haven't had a death in a week and I have a barried shrimp. She is pretty young so I don't think she will carry them full term but I'm excited she is comfortable enough to become barried.
IAL supposedly have antibacterial and anti fungal benefits too.
great little tank!

It looks like it's a mid-engine config, but the engine is in the front. In back are the twin superchargers which are visible along with the intake plumbing through the '71 Boat Tail Riv rear window. Launier is not only the owner but the builder, which is fairly unique for recent Ridler wins. Congrats to JF!

Assembly Passes Subscription Renewal Law
Assemblywoman Audrey I. Pheffer is pleased to announce that legislation she sponsored to provide increased consumer protections for magazine subscribers, has passed the Assembly.
In 2006, Pheffer introduced legislation, Chapter 204 of the Laws of 2006, which required magazine publishers to provide subscribers with enhanced disclosure of the month and year in which their subscription expires in any written renewal invitation.
"As Chair of the Assembly Committee on Consumer Affairs and Protection I have received many complaints regarding magazine publisher's failure to disclose subscription expiration dates in written renewal offers, or to disclose such dates in a manner that is easily read and understood by the subscriber. The original statute, as well as the increased protections provided in this legislation, will strengthen this important consumer protection," said Pheffer.
This legislation, A.2642-C, strengthens the provisions of Chapter 204 by: requiring that the subscription expiration date disclosure, in addition to being clear and conspicuous, is understandable and readable; requiring that in instances in which a magazine subscription renewal offer is packaged with an issue of the magazine, the location on the mailing label of the subscription expiration date must be disclosed on the offer; requiring forprofit third-party magazine subscription solicitors to include a subscription expiration date disclosure in any renewal offer; and, providing for a civil penalty of up to $100 for a single violation and up to $500 for multiple violations resulting from a single act or incident (up to $500 and $1000 for knowing violations).
Subscriptions sold by a not-for-profit entity, a charitable organization, or as part of a school fundraiser or gift subscription are exempt from the bill.
The legislation is now awaiting action before the Senate Consumer Protection Committee. Senator Peralta, chair of the Senate Consumer Protection Committee, is the sponsor of the legislation in the Senate.

The Celloist
you can't hear the screaming men
who shout distractions and broadcast colours
they left me hollow inside, and their c__ts
twisted, gnarled beggars stealing my thoughts
yes, the color, have you considered
the connection
red and reading? People will die
and no one is concerned with the raptures
Bummm Bumm BUHM bumm -/ buhmm buhmm
Buhmm Bhmm bum bum de dum
Bumm BUHM bum BUHMdedum
BUHM bumble bee bum DUHM buhmm
The bridge offers me sheletr for cello cased pillow
Your rented cages are too quiet - the silence lets them in
It is here they have to drown, I lead them;bait them
to discord, where my vibrato shouts them out
That string of moving headlamps
are one string of six in this; my composition
and every time an angry horn breaches a scathing note,
I'm able to count 4 or 8, 4, 4, 8
- see? Now you relate
times and rhymes.times and ryhmes.times and rhymes
Are these questions or thoughts put into my brain?
Excuse me, have you mentioned the colour red -
have you examined its purpose and for that
I've spent considerable time pondering
You wish a safe place for me? It's hear as long as I'm not talking
It's not the talking, it's the hearing, the angry mouth must be shut
An allegro, measured time, LISTEN! Ple!ase, stop tal!king
I have to turn the chattering away with my stick

Apple Thunderbolt Display
REVIEW DATE : September 22, 2011
PROS: Sleek design. Lots of connectivity ports. Good image and color quality. Impressive audio output.
You don't have to be an Apple fanboy to appreciate the new Apple Thunderbolt Display ($999 direct), but you will need to have a Thunderbolt-ready Mac destkop or laptop to use it, and be willing to shell out close to a grand for the privilege. This 27-inch beauty is the first display to utilize Thunderbolt I/O technology, and its connectivity prowess makes it an ideal docking station for Thunderbolt-enabled MacBooks. It also delivers bright, accurate colors and excellent image detail. Its flawsa relatively slow response time produces some motion artifacts, and a glossy screen coating that can be very reflectiveis somewhat minor compared with what it has to offer. It earns our Editors' Choice for high-end monitors.
A word about Thunderbolt technology; co-developed by Intel and Apple, Thunderbolt is a dual-channel I/O solution (based on PCI Express and DisplayPort technologies) that delivers twice the I/O performance (10Gbps) as USB 3.0 (5Gbps) using a single cable. According to Apple, Thunderbolt is up to 20 times faster than USB 2.0 and 12 times faster than FireWire 800. All of that bandwidth allows users to daisy chain multiple peripherals and still achieve good I/O throughput. (For more on Thunderbolt, check out our primer, "Intel's Thunderbolt: 10 Things You Need to Know.")
Design and Features
You won't find any function buttons on this monitor, as all settings are adjusted from within the System Preferences Display control panel. Here, you can change the resolution, rotate the screen image, adjust brightness, and select a color profile. There's also a Calibration Assistant that helps you tweak gamma and white point settings. Chances are you won't have to do much tweaking as Apple calibrates each panel before it leaves the factory. As with the Cinema Display, a light sensor automatically adjusts the panel's brightness according to ambient light levels, but you can disable this function if you prefer.
Two hard-wired cables protrude from the rear of the cabinet. One is a traditional three-pronged power cord and the other is a double header containing Apple's awesome MagSafe power connector and a Thunderbolt connector. One of the many cool features of this display is that once you plug in the regular power cord you can power up and charge your laptop with the monitor's MagSafe plug. Also around back are three USB (2.0) ports, a FireWire 800 port, a gigabit Ethernet port, and a Thunderbolt port. It's not unusual to find an Ethernet port on an HDTV but you rarely see them on desktop monitors. I connected a labs Ethernet cable to the display, and thanks to Thunderbolt, received a wired network connection notification on my MacBook Air within seconds. You can use the display's Thunderbolt port to connect up to six peripherals, such as external storage and video capture devices, as well as multiple monitors.
IPS panels are known to deliver wide viewing angles, and the Thunderbolt Display is no exception. You can place this monitor just about anywhere without worrying about color shifting or experiencing that dark screen effect that you get with most TN+ panels. What you will get is some instances of motion blur, however, which comes by way of the Thunderbolt Display's 12-millisecond pixel response. The artifacts aren't overwhelming and certainly won't have much of an impact while watching streaming video (which is usually susceptible to artifacts anyway), but if you decide to use this monitor for gaming you'll notice some minor motion lag. That's just one of the trade-offs that come with using an IPS panel rather than a TN+ panel, though.
There's a lot to like about the Apple Thunderbolt Display. It's the first monitor to offer Thunderbolt high-speed connectivity, it delivers excellent image quality, and its audio output is top shelf. Having the ability to connect multiple devices makes it an ideal base station for MacBook laptops, and like nearly every other product sporting an Apple logo, it's a real head turner. It is certainly more expensive than most 27-inch monitors, but no other monitor can do what it does, at least not yet. All this is why this monitor earns the Editors' Choice. If you own a Thunderbolt-enabled MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, Mac mini, or iMac, the Thunderbolt Display makes perfect sense.

(Another) boxer becomes a promoter!
By Bob Caico
Boxing gave recently retired heavyweight Paul "The Italian Hitman" Marinaccio the opportunity to get the word out about the ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, often referred to as Lou Gehrig's disease). Many times Marinaccio donated his purse from his matches to the cause that took the life of his good friend. Now the Buffalo, NY native and Cary, North Carolina resident wants to give back to boxing by starting his own promotional company: Jawbreaker Promotions.
"As a retired boxer it is a pleasure to still be able to work with fighters and be a part of their careers," said Marinaccio. As a boxer, Marinaccio had a reputation as durable boxer-puncher which he demonstrated by going twelve rounds with former heavyweight contender Michael Grant. Now Marinaccio wants to establish a reputation as a durable promoter.
His inaugural event is this Saturday at the State Fairgrounds Exposition Center in Raleigh, NC. The card will feature three professional boxing matches and seven amateur MMA bouts. This will be the first combination boxing/MMA event in the State. Undefeated heavyweight Donnell "The Real Touch of Sleep" Holmes (30-0, 26 KOs) from Ivanhoe, NC will tangle with Ryan Thompson (9-7, 6 KOs) of East Cleveland, OH in a ten-round scrap for the WBF All-America title. Vitaliy Demyanenko (16-0, 11 KOs) of Kazakhstan will defend his WBC Asian Boxing Council, WBO Asia Pacific and PABA welterweight titles against Atlanta's Paul Delgado (20-8-1, 4 KOs) in a twelve-round contest. The third professional bout will have welterweight prospect Rashad Holloway (10-1, 5 KOs) from Raleigh, NC in a six round battle.
Marinaccio – who retired with a record of 24-5-3 – is excited about this new venture. "It's my first show and we are coming out swinging."
Doors open at 6:30 pm and the first bell is at 7:30 pm. Tickets are $35, $65 or $80 can be purchased at www.rapidfitness.com or call 919-239-4626.

Paan Singh Tomar has become a symbol: Irrfan
Actor Irrfan is riding the wave of appreciation of his biopic on the athlete-turned-rebel from Morena in Madhya Pradesh.
New Delhi: "Paan Singh Tomar would have never thought, long after him, he'll become a symbol," said actor Irrfan, who is riding the wave of appreciation of his biopic on the athlete from Morena in Madhya Pradesh. The film opened to generally positive responses from critics all across the country and Irrfan's interpretation of Paan Singh, an award-winning runner who turned rebel in Chambal, praised.
Actor Amitabh Bachchan had high praise for the film as he tweeted: "Paan Singh Tomar": a stupendous film .. Tighmanshu Dhulia and Irrfan you are exceptional gentlemen ..many more laurels for you !"
Irrfan's tweets reflected his relief after he won over audiences with his performance: "So fortunate to be in a time when the audience is ready and asking for a change! Fortunate pst chose us to complete his race. Or we Chose him to Complete his race. Who knows!"
"I want to send the message to PST's family that PST has become a voice for unsung heroes," he said.
In an interview with the actor prior to the release of the film Irrfan spoke about his career, his international projects, his children and the hard work he put in for PST.
It's surprisingly easy to pin down Irrfan even on his busiest day before the release of his film Paan Singh Tomar for a telephone chat. He will talk to you for as long as you want if you do not mind the chomping sounds over the phone as he grabs a quick bite to eat in between interviews.
The actor, with his unconventional look and solid stage and television training, is perhaps the most unassuming Khan in the Indian film industry where stars are often famous for being famous and superstardom is a family legacy. He is also the most underrated, though he vehemently disagrees.
"I am Irrfan, just Irrfan. I have taken out Khan from my name quite some time ago," the actor said from Mumbai. "I do not want to be known by my religion, surname or lineage. I don't want to be recognised for what my forefathers did." The actor, whose name is Sahabzade Irrfan Ali Khan, says likes the sound of the two 'R's as they roll on the tongue. "I always thought ' Sahabzade Irrfan Ali Khan' was too pompous."
I play the common man, but I'm a very special common man
In one of the more popular songs from his film Paan Singh Tomar are the lyrics "duniya mane bura toh goli maro" and Irrfan has lived by this rustic philosophy all his life. He broke into the big scene with a bit role in Mira Nair's Salaam Bombay! But it was not until Maqbool in 2003 that the audiences sat up and took notice of the lanky man whose total lack of inhibition in front of the camera was only comparable to veteran actor Pankaj Kapoor.
However not all his roles were chosen well. He has hammed it in Thank You, and his performance in Mallika Sherawat's Hisss was completely bizarre.
It is sensibility shown in films such as Life in a Metro, Namesake, Road to Ladakh, A Mighty Heart and now Paan Singh Tomar that establishes him as one of India's finest method actors.
Irrfan has played the common man countless times. "I refuse to be an object of people's fascination. I'm not here to do a fashion parade. When I play the common man, I play a very special common man. I am his strength. If you decide who plays a hero by how he looks, you need to redefine heroism."
He thinks great actors are never remembered for larger-than-life roles. "Look at Dilip Kumar, Rajesh Khanna, their best roles were not where they played larger-than-life heroes."
"I have never understood the PR system"
Most of all he hates to market himself. For someone who has worked with Angelina Jolie, Danny Boyle, Ang Lee and Mark Webb, he is surprisingly reluctant to talk about his international ventures. Even before Anil Kapoor or Aishwarya Rai, Irrfan had quietly bagged roles in Hollywood projects and established a name that foreign directors came coming back to.
"I haven't understood the system where you get work through PR. I know you have to market yourself, but it irritates me. I don't want to deceive my audiences in any way. No matter what you have to be honest with the audience. Honesty always works, even in these times. A film is a collaborative effort. I like to see how the final product shapes up before I send it out to my audience," he says. "I get work for my work. I don't get work because I have great marketing. If I spend energy learning how to market myself now, I will be diverting it from work. You call me underrated. If I was underrated, Mark Webb (Director of Amazing Spiderman, in which Irrfan plays a role), would not have come to me."
He gets terse when I remind him about how Shah Rukh Khan worked the promotion for RA.One. "He knows it, I don't. I won't ever be in that situation."
"Don't put social responsibility on a film's shoulder"
He has learnt how to run the steeple chase when he started shooting for Paan Singh Tomar. "There was no document about Paan Singh. It took me a long time to get the idea registered. This is one role I want to keep with me forever, the way he felt, his passion, the story of a simple man and what he did for his country," he says. He has worked hard for the film. "Shooting in May-June in Rajasthan and Bihar was not easy. By lunch break everyone's tongue would hang out in the heat. I had a great buzz going."
Will PST ever change the way India treats its struggling sportsmen? "A film does what it does, society changes with political action. It can affect people, make them more aware but it can't affect policies."
Is there a market in urban metros for rustic biopics?
"Never underestimate our audience. They want to hear good stories. I have become an actor to connect with people. And Paan Singh Tomar is my love letter to the country."

Encana Executive Curses On Call, Company Wants Audio Removed (Strong Language)
A lawyer for Encana Corp, Canada's largest natural gas producer, is demanding the removal of an audio file of a company executive cursing at an analyst, The Globe and Mail reports.
The company apologized last week because one of its executives' cursed after an analyst asked about whether new Canadian investment rules would prohibit its takeover by foreign state-owned entities.
When asked the question by Canaccord Genuity analyst Phil Skolnick, interim CEO Clayton Woitas said: "The answer would be no." Then, in a whispered comment that was clearly audible on a replay of the call, someone can be heard saying, "fucking asshole."
A Globe and Mail reporter posted the audio file online, and Encana requested the founder of the website where the audio file was posted, Chirbit, to remove it, the newspaper reports.
"Something like that should never have been said and we're sorry about it," Jay Averill, a spokesman for the company said last week.
Story continues after the slideshow
According to a federal lawsuit, a 2007 email allegedly written by an investment banker to an S&P analyst included this statement. Other emails sent by S&P suggested that analysts were very much aware of how little quality control was valued at S&P.
Goldman Sachs Vice President Fabrice Tourre sent internal emails suggesting he had major doubts about the collateralized debt obligations he sold to investors in early 2007.
In an internal email sent in December of 2006, an S&P employee indicated that he knew how bad collateralized debt obligations were before the heart of the financial crisis, The New York Times reported.
By 2006, Goldman Sachs traders were internally describing subprime home mortgages in a very negative light.
Blodget encouraged investors to buy stocks that he privately wrote in emails were not good investments, to say the least, Time reported in 2009.
In private emails, Barclays traders wrote incriminating statements indicating the manipulation of libor, the Financial Times reported.
JPMorgan Chase claimed in a lawsuit that Lehman deceived JPMorgan with bad assets, which Lehman employees allegedly referred to internally as "goat poo."
Back in the early 2000s, then-Attorney General Eliot Spitzer used internal emails from Merrill Lynch to prove that the bank continually promoted stocks -- such as Internet company GoTo.com -- that it did not really believe in.
Morgan Stanley bankers openly joked about a toxic investment they were creating in 2007 and debated naming it "Shitbag," "Nuclear Holocaust," "Subprime Meltdown" and "Mike Tyson's Punchout," according to recently unearthed emails. The bankers later agreed upon the name "Stack."
It is not the first time that open microphones have proved problematic for corporate executives. In 2007, the CEO of U.S. student lender SLM Corp, Albert Lord, was caught saying at the end of a testy conference call: "There's no questions - let's get the fuck out of here."
Lord subsequently apologized, saying he recognized his "comments were offensive."
And in taped comments in 2001, then-Enron CEO Jeffrey Skilling mockingly thanked an analyst for a question on a conference call, ending with the clearly audible word: "Asshole."
The abusive comment was subsequently seen by short sellers as a sign of how much pressure Skilling was under at the time as Enron's accounts, which were later discovered to be fraudulent, began to unravel.
"If I could go back and redo things, I would not have used the term that I used," Skilling, who is currently serving a prison sentence for his role in the Enron scandal, later told a Congressional hearing.
CORRECTION: A previous version of this story stated incorrectly that Encana's CEO cursed at the analyst. The person swearing has not been identified by Encana.

text: Denni Fitzsimmons November 19, 2012Senior Health Fair: A learning opportunity for all Each fall, DMU hosts a Senior Health Fair which is coordinated by the Geriatrics Club. Many of the clubs on campus participate in the health fair, providing screenings and information for hundreds of senior guests. There are also organizations from out in the community that participate and provide services and/or information.This year the health fair was held on November 3. I had the privilege of organizing the booth run by the Student Osteopathic Medical Association (SOMA). We calculated our visitors' BMI, waist-to-hip ratio, and discussed how these numbers were related to their health and cardiovascular risk. In addition, we were able to provide some great literature resources pertaining to weight, exercise, and nutrition after the age of 50.We had an amazing turn-out of SOMA volunteers, who did an amazing job talking to and teaching our older guests. It was a great opportunity for the students to get some experience talking to real people about their health. Even our first year students really stepped up to the challenge and appeared to be quite comfortable with their roles. Everyone had a great time, and I think we ALL learned something that day.I learned just how big of a role this health fair has come to play to some of our regular guests. It's an opportunity for them to get tons of information on a wide range of topics, receive some really valuable health screenings free of cost, and get out in the community and socialize. They always seem eager to converse with a younger generation and enjoy the chance to play a real role in the education of new physicians. Many of these individuals have health issues and understand the importance of building a healthy supply of doctors for the future.It was a great experience, and I strongly encourage all current and future students to get involved with these types of events. It's valuable to both your education and to the people in our community. Leave a Reply Cancel replyYou must be logged in to post a comment.

The legal and regulatory framework governing research misconduct and effective compliance systems to manage risk - .PDF file.
By Tom Fletcher and Linh Nguyen
We have seen a number of high-profile and research-intensive universities respond to allegations of serious research misconduct in recent months against the background of significant media interest. In addition to complying with obligations imposed by funding bodies, universities must also give careful consideration to whether such allegations must be reported to relevant state bodies who are charged with enhancing community confidence in public sector accountability and its legislative obligations to protect whistleblowers. Privacy and defamation issues loom large and also need careful consideration.
From recent press coverage, it would appear that the universities involved have acted quickly and appropriately when becoming aware of research misconduct, avoiding further reputational damage that would have flowed from an inadequate response. However, the press, public, regulatory bodies, university community and ultimately funding bodies (and corporate funders of research) are likely to be less forgiving of universities whose compliance systems fail to prevent systematic contraventions of research obligations.
These high-profile cases have led to several calls for an independent body to oversee university investigations and collect data on allegations of misconduct or errors. These developments highlight the importance of universities managing these risks through a strong research compliance culture and effective research compliance systems…
