The plan to revive the mobile speed enforcement system is likely to draw criticism from the community and is already getting mixed reviews from city councilors. The speed SUV program originally was sold to the city as a public safety measure, but there is little hard evidence to show it has made the roads safer.
City Councilor
In its proposal to
Both Maestas and Trujillo said they don't believe federal corruption charges against
The city had sought a new contract for operation of its speed SUV program, after allowing its previous contract with
Speeding tickets issued through the program are
The fines are paid directly to
The city and the state split the rest of the revenue.
During the time the speed SUVs were operating in
The New Mexican reported in January that the SUVs generated 8,850 citations in 2012 and 6,919 citations in 2013.
And although the program's success at slowing drivers is hard to track, one report does show a decline in crashes in the city from 2,709 in 2008 to 2,200 in 2011, two years after the speed SUVs were introduced.
Trujillo said he believes the program has led drivers to slow down on wide thoroughfares such as
During the school year, two of the city's three speed SUVs were parked in school zones in the morning and afternoon, to slow traffic while students were arriving at school and leaving.
"It's very good for the city," Trujillo said. "To me, it's curbed speeding in the community. We cannot have police presence everywhere."
City Councilor
But Lindell, who got nabbed by one of the speed SUVs, said she walks the same residential road twice daily, and on the days when the SUVs were parked nearby, she noted motorists driving slower.
"I was really opposed to them," she said. "But I do think they serve a purpose for safety."
Maestas argued that an officer issuing traffic tickets is a stronger deterrent to speeders than an SUV, but he admitted, "I don't have a viable alternative."
Dominguez said he feels the community has mixed feelings about the program. "I think we need to get answers," he said. "And I welcome the public debate."
A police officer reviews each of the images and then decides if a fine is warranted. According to the department, the tickets are citations that don't affect a person's driving record or insurance.
Speed SUVs are not allowed on state roads, which includes major thoroughfares in

Salisbury Graded School - 2nd Grade, Batavia System
The Salisbury Graded School at some point must have instituted the Batavia System of education. The Batavia System of Individual Instruction, by John Kennedy, published in Syracuse, N.Y. by C.W. Bardeen in 1914 is a method of classroom organization that put an extra teacher in the classroom to conference individually with students while the "regular" teacher conducted lectures and recitations. It was meant to help the students who might not be working up to grade level keep up. As you can see by the photograph, the classroom size was quite large.

The Barclays Premiership club are in the midst of a bitter dispute with the Football Association over compensation for the knee injury the 27-year-old striker suffered at last summer's World Cup.
"If the FA don't offer us a fair settlement, we are prepared to go to court to get an injunction that could stop Michael playing for England against Estonia," chairman Freddy Shepherd told the Sunday Mirror.
"We would do that very reluctantly, but the FA's stance is unfortunately leaving us with no other option. We will be seeking a reimbursement of his medical costs, and if there is no offer from the FA we will have no choice but to involve our lawyers.
"We have not been paid a penny by the FA for Owen's recuperation bill. They have not paid the price of even an aspirin for Michael since he left their care. They cut him loose as soon as he was put on the plane home.
"They have refused point blank to pay us, despite it costing us well over £150,000 to aid his recuperation.
"They even told us to get the money off FIFA when it was clearly the FA's responsibility as he was in their care and control. After the World Cup, they didn't want to know him medically.
"The only thing that concerns them is when he could play for England again.
"We didn't even get a letter asking how he was or offering their regrets. Not a word. Is it any surprise that we are angry about how the FA have behaved?
"The FA are abusing a dominant position. They are taking our prize asset for nothing and then returning him as damaged goods."

My boyfriend C has always said that not one person in my family has a comfortable seating area in their whole house, and he refined this at the weekend: the problem is that the focal area is always the dining table. So the focal chair is always a dining chair, and that is never as comfortable as a comfy chair (I'm coming to the point, I promise … ) What you want (he says) is the focal point to be the telly. Then the key seating will always be a sofa, and everyone will be happy. Yes, I say, apart from people who want to eat while not watching telly.
He looks genuinely perplexed. "Why would anyone want to eat while not watching telly?"
To persuade him to have anything but a TV dinner, I have to invite six other people round and call it a dinner party. So I have refined my viewing-chewing pretty well, over time. Speaking for myself now (I don't want to sound like some hellbeast who puts her beloved on a diet), I steer away from anything you can eat with your fingers while you watch: the distraction of the infotainment makes you forget what you're doing and eat too much, even if it's a segment on The One Show about cholesterol. Nigel Slater will periodically specify a finger-food-programme combo (this one he said to eat with Sex and the City), but it's a mug's game – you'll just get fat. By series six, you'll be watching these improbably thin women, whose fault it partially is that you are now fat – I can't believe that would be enjoyable.
If you're having teas on knees, it has to be something that you at least need to eat with tools, and preferably look at from time to time, rather than just fork it in. But nothing splashy: and the worst, most indelible splash combination is fat, tomato, and anything else that is red. I don't bother with chorizo or pasta or soup, ever. I often make this Delia sausage stew: it is the only one I that I like as much as this Ross Dobson one, which is banned on account of its tomato content. I avoid luxury cuts of meat because it seems profligate not to concentrate on them, and I do a lot of "mix a leftover with an egg and pretend it's a frittata" cooking. C doesn't notice because he is too busy watching telly, but you know, I am a feminist, so if he ever complained, I would tell him to make his own dinner. He would make a sandwich, there would be no splashing, no over-eating (it is a self-limiting size, the sandwich), and all these problems would just vanish between two slices of bread.
What are your favourite TV dinners?

Virginia Tech 69, Rhode Island 50
Associated Press | Last updated November 12, 2012
Erick Green tied a career high with 25 points to lift Virginia Tech past Rhode Island 69-50 on Monday night.

But the Hokies scored the last eight points of the half - six of those coming on two Green 3-pointers - to take a 36-24 lead at halftime. Rhode Island got no closer than 11 the rest of the game.

Boring poems
Poem by: poijhhffbcdghffhgth
Status: Finished
Genre: Humor
boring writers you all are
telling yourself you are good
its all a knee slapper
too many liars
why so nice?

This is boring. see there, no more mister nice guy.
Wow you really have the audacity to insult my work when this is the best you can come up with? You are a bully and clearly lacking in any kind of written talent. How about instead of acting like a critic whose opinions possibly matter, you put your spiteful, vindictive energies into creating something of actual substance? Crazy idea I know!
I love how your comments don't really say anything :P "Boring!" you write. Great. But why? I mean, come on. If you're going to diss people, at least do so with some wordsmithery.
Then you can get a job as a critic for the New York Times :)
Hahaha mister bored got his desire stirring the pot and the fire... All you wanted to do was pull a string and make some angry people sing. It inevitably works about 90 percent of the time and will get your ass kicked if you try it without hiding behind a computer screen cheeky monkey. ;.D keep dancing on the edge mister balls. It's people like you that fall and fill the canyon so people like me can dance across it without missing a step. And when you are old and grey you can tell your grand kids I spent all my free time heckling people with talent cause I never owned any my self. Kisses retard. ;.))

How to avoid Packers ticket scams
Since advancing in the playoffs, Packer fans definitely have football fever. However, the Wisconsin Better Business Bureau warns fans to beware of potential scams by fake ticket sellers seeking to cash in on the Packers' season.
The opportunity for sports fans to be scammed by fake ticket sellers occurs most often when people buy tickets from individuals outside the stadium, on the street or through online auctions, classified ads and bulletin boards.
"We are warning sports fans, they can get burned by purchasing counterfeit tickets or paying in advance for tickets that never actually arrive," said Randall Hoth, Wisconsin BBB president/CEO.
The secondary market for sporting and entertainment tickets is a $10 billion a year industry. It includes tickets bought and sold by professional brokers as well as those purchased and resold by speculators and season ticket holders.
"The Internet has become the arena of choice for sports fans looking to buy or sell tickets," Hoth said. "Unfortunately, it also has become a breeding ground for scammers looking to take advantage of sports fans."
The BBB's database includes reputable, secondary market ticket firms that provide buyer protections, including money-back guarantees if tickets are fake. On some sites, sellers also must provide credit-card numbers so the site can charge a seller's card for the cost of replacement tickets if they sell fake tickets.
The BBB offers the following advice for fans seeking tickets:
- Be careful buying tickets from someone on the street. When you get to the gate and find out your tickets aren't real, the seller will be long gone.
- Before buying from an online ticket broker, look for the BBB logo on the website and click on it to make sure it's real.
- Make sure the website has a secure payment processing system, usually denoted by https:// at the start of its website address or URL, or a small closed lock icon at the bottom of the screen.
- If you buy tickets through an online auction site, choose a seller with a long history of satisfied customers. Scammers can hijack old accounts, so make sure the seller has recently sold other tickets.
- Ticket buyers also should be wary of sellers who try to lure buyers from a legitimate site to another site for a "private" transaction. Scammers often want to conduct their business on sites with names that mimic well-known companies but actually are fakes.
- If you are buying tickets through an online classified ad site, never pay the seller by wire transfer. You will have no way to get your money back if the tickets do not arrive or are counterfeit. Pay by credit card. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act, credit card customers have the right to dispute charges for services not rendered.
- Ask the seller to email you a picture of the tickets, including a receipt or other proof that the tickets are not counterfeit. Scrutinize the picture carefully, looking for any alterations or inaccuracies, and cross-check the seat assignment with the map on the venue's Web site before you buy.
- Try to purchase from a local seller that you can meet in person. Meet in a public place and do not go alone.
- When meeting the seller, ask for some identification, and write it down in case you need it later.
Before you do business with a charity or company, check its BBB Business Review at www.bbb.org or by calling 414-847-6000 (metro Milwaukee), (920)-734-4352 (Appleton), (608)-268-2221 (Madison) or 1-800-273-1002 (elsewhere in Wisconsin).

The Curious World of Wine
Facts, Legends, and Lore About the Drink We Love So Much
(If any tax is payable it will be calculated and shown at checkout.)
Preview (read now) Add to my own site Give this ebook to a friend Add to my wishlist Author's page Publisher's page
About the authorBorn and raised in the Finger Lakes region of upstate New York, Richard Vine began his wine-making career in 1958 at the Pleasant Valley Wine Company (Great Western) in Hammondsport. While first a cellar worker and then a laboratory technician, he was promoted to winemaker and assumed responsibility for more than six million bottles of annual wine production. In 1977, Vine accepted a research position at Mississippi State University, where he earned his baccalaureate and doctorate degrees while also writing the first of four academic wine books.
Purdue University gave Dr. Vine the call in 1991 to fill their initial professor of enology position. In 1999, Purdue dedicated a wine library in his name at the Philip E. Nelson Hall of Food Science. During his university tenures, he was also the wine consultant for American Airlines for twenty-one years.
moreThe Curious World of Wine is a fascinating miscellany about the colorful characters, celebrated places, and quirky events surrounding wine-making. Recounting wine tales that are by turns amusing, surprising, and occasionally a bit naughty, wine expert Richard Vine reveals little-known facts such as:
• The oldest vineyard still producing grapes is thought to be in Maribor, Slovenia, where vines up to four hundred years old remain fruitful.
• "Plonk," a term used to insult any modestly priced wine, got its name from the French words for white wine—vin blanc, pronounced "vawn blawnk," which was corrupted to "plawnk" or "plonk."
• Thomas Jefferson was so eager to plant native French vines at his Monticello mansion that he nearly went bankrupt fruitlessly hiring experts to defeat a condition that caused European vines to mysteriously die in North American soil.
• Touching wineglasses as a toast was originally a deft move to exchange a splash of wine into each other's cup to ensure that neither party was being poisoned.
The Curious World of Wine will keep any wine fan entertained and enlightened—from the most erudite connoisseur to Two Buck Chuck devotees. less

You Turn Around to Run, but Fall on your Face on the Doorstep
You got up but your head was pushed down again by one of the farmhouse guy's creepy sons.
You will try to raise your head again but the creepy boy will push it down again, laughing.
You try to raise your legs but the boy's father comes out, puts his hands under your armpits and lifts you onto your feet.
"Enough off games," he would have said. You would have been transfixed as his entire family would have hovered a few inches off the ground. "Vee all fly to our home - our rreal home. It eess not here - it eess in Transylvania."
Like a nightmare you will have been swept off your feet and flown amongst the cackling, crazy family, faster and faster, fields whizzing along underneath you along with railway lines, bridges, roads and the ever-glistening sea.
They might have tried to take you to Transylvania but a border dispute might have made the European Union force you all to land early while they and NATO officials discuss whether your mode of transport was environmentally friendly and which country might have had the right of way to hover in this area.
While they were all arguing you made your way back to your rental car all those miles away. You got in it and realized you were out of gas. The brakes didn't work and your car sped rapidly backwards down the hill and crashed into a vat that stored the local sewage. Boy, when things go wrong!
