Peter Rüegg reports from ETH Zurich (Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich) that cities are heat islands – not only above ground but below ground too, and therein lies the enormous potential to better harness this energy through geothermal heat exchangers. A group of researchers demonstrated this in a case study conducted in the city of Zurich and published by Elsevier.
Cities and densely built-up areas are warmer than their environs. This is particularly noticeable on hot summer days, when the heat builds up between the buildings and streets radiate sweltering heat. The air outside the city is often noticeably cooler.
But cities are not just heat islands on the surface; the ground below built-up areas is too. The heat dissipates into the ground through the streets, cellars, underground garages and sewers. This heat input can be considerable; for example, in the city of Zurich, 20 meters underground, it is several degrees warmer than at the same depth outside the city.
Heat input regenerates the natural reservoir
In an article published in the journal Renewable Energy, a group of researchers, including ETH earth scientist Jaime Rivera, demonstrated that these subterranean heat islands harbour an as yet untapped potential source of energy production. This potential could be tapped with systems already used for the collection of geothermal heat.
Thus, Rivera and his colleagues used a model to calculate that the potential for the use of geothermal heat in urban areas is much greater than in rural areas due to the island effect – up to 40 percent higher.
The extra heat stored in the ground also regenerates the natural heat reservoir in the soil, which can be tapped using geothermal heat exchangers. By exploiting only the underground thermal energy surplus, geothermal systems in urban areas can be used for longer periods and more intensively than if only natural heat is used. "If the use of surplus geothermal heat is moderately intensive, the waste heat from urban structures is sufficient even to regenerate the natural heat reservoir," says Rivera, lead author of the study.
More energy, shallower drilling
Thanks to the surplus heat input, more thermal energy could be collected from the ground and the length of the drill holes shortened. "Each additional degree Celsius at the urban ground surface means the borehole required to collect the same amount of energy can be four meters shorter," explains the earth scientist.
In order to test their model, developed to calculate the heat usage potential, the researchers used an example from the Zurich metropolitan area. In addition to the increased heat flux from the island effect, they also included atmospheric warming due to climate change.
"Our findings will be helpful in the planning of geothermal energy systems in areas with elevated soil temperatures," says Peter Bayer, who is leading the study. Cities also have other heat sources that contribute to soil warming, such as tunnels, sewers and district heating systems. "But since all these heat sources are artificial, strictly speaking we're not exploiting a naturally renewable energy source," emphasizes Bayer.
Geothermal heat
Geothermal heat pump systems are the most common type of geothermal technology in Switzerland, normally with boreholes of about 150 metres – even deeper in cities. A heat exchanger – usually two U-shaped pipes through which a fluid circulates – is installed in the borehole. This fluid absorbs heat from the ground and then transports it to the surface. An (electric) heat pump uses the thermal energy in a building to heat rooms and process water.

99 TJ Starting Issues
When the engine is cold, my Jeep starts right away, but after it warms up and say I go into the store for 10 minutes and come back to crank it, it takes a while to finally turn over, or I cut the switch all the way off and turn it back on and it will fire right up. A buddy of mine, told me it was the fuel pressure regulator, as he has replaced his twice. I changed that and the issue is still there. I had the fuel pressure checked and it is okay.
Anymore ideas on what could be causing this? I was told possibly the crank sensor?

Lewis Carroll's Dodo of Wonderland was such a swell old bird. When Alice and an assortment of small animals had finished running an incoherent ''caucus'' race to dry themselves off, they surrounded the Dodo and demanded to know, ''But who has won?'' The Dodo pressed a finger to his forehead, gave it a ''great deal of thought'' and replied, in the stirring spirit of a self-esteem coach, ''EVERYBODY has won, and all must have prizes.''
In real life, of course, not everybody wins, least of all the poor Dodo. A large flightless bird native to Mauritius Island, east of Madagascar, the dodo was first encountered by Europeans toward the end of the 1500's. A mere half century later, the guileless dodo was extinct, the victim of human hunters and the pigs and rats that accompanied them. And so few specimens of the bird were preserved that scientists have been arguing ever since over what sort of creature it was, what its evolutionary tale may have been and in what avian family tree it nested.
Now a team of scientists, relying on DNA extracted from the preserved dodo thought to have inspired Lewis Carroll, has confirmed one longstanding school of thought about the bird's heritage. It seems that the dodo and the closely related solitaire bird -- another flightless giant native to neighboring islands in the Mascarene chain -- are nothing but overgrown, landlubbing pigeons.
Reporting in the March 1 issue of Science, Beth A. Shapiro, Dr. Alan Cooper and their colleagues at the University of Oxford and the Natural History Museum in London discuss their comparison between genetic sequences in the dodo and the solitaire, and those of 37 other species of pigeons and doves.Continue reading the main story
The researchers determined that the dodo and solitaire are not outlying members of the pigeon clan, but sit smack in the middle of the 310 or so species that make up the Columbiformes group. Their closest living relatives are the Nicobar pigeons of Southeast Asia, the crowned pigeons of New Guinea and the toothbilled pigeons of Samoa.
Based on molecular discrepancies between the dodo and other pigeons, the researchers calculated that the dodo and solitaire separated from the other pigeons about 42 million years ago and then flew to the Mascarene Islands, a volcanic chain in the Indian Ocean.
Once the birds settled, they did what island-bound species often do: they evolved to suit their habitat. With few predators to worry about, the birds lost their need to fly, and they could instead focus on becoming big: the dodo stood about three feet tall and weighed as much as a good-size turkey.
''In an island situation, the birds that put on the most mass, and eat the most, can dominate in terms of mating and territory,'' Dr. Cooper said in a telephone interview. ''Breast muscles needed for flying are very expensive. They're fast-twitch muscles that use a lot of energy keeping them there. So a bird that can afford to give up those muscles and use the energy to get big will be rewarded very quickly.''
Without wings, the big birds had no way to escape from human hunters or the ravenous mammals they brought along. ''The Portuguese sailors used them for food, because they were so easy to catch,'' Dr. Cooper said. ''But they complained about the meat. Apparently the birds didn't taste very good.''
In fact, it has been suggested that the negative connotations of ''dodo'' have as much to do with the rotten flavor of the bird as with their apparent naïveté in the face of danger.
Despite their taste, in short order many thousands of birds had been slaughtered. Dr. Cooper suggests that one reason people are fascinated by the dodo is the ecological message it bears. ''It's the first time that Europeans watched something go extinct in real time,'' he said.
Lewis Carroll, too, deserves credit for the dodo's fame. He drew inspiration for his character from the specimen at the Oxford Museum of Natural History, which was brought to Europe in the 1600's for exhibition and consists of a head with skin, leg and foot. The dodo is said to be a stand-in for the author, whose real name was the Rev. Charles Lutwidge Dodgson; a stutterer (and an irrepressible punster), he supposedly introduced himself as ''Do-do-Dodgson.''
In John Tenniel's classic illustration, the Dodo is presented as a kind of Oxford don, with an academic's blousy sleeves from which human hands poke forth.
If everybody must have prizes, perhaps the Dodo's is its enduring literary fame. Even being pigeonholed can't change that.Continue reading the main story

A New California Dream
California doesn't need more lofty rhetoric about what a Dream place this state is. Our government is in crisis. The impartial Legislative Analyst's Office projects $20+ billion deficits until at least 2015.
Cynics say that Californians are too polarized, too diverse, and too burdened with a byzantine bureaucracy to come together to face this mountain. Yet this deficit is only roughly one percent of California's nearly two trillion dollar economy.
And these cynics don't offer reasons s
My Heritage
"Before I can say I am, I was."
–Wallace Stegner,Angle of Repose
Put in a word, I'm Californian. My maternal great-grandmother was a trailblazer, running for the State Assembly as one of this state's first women candidates during the Hiram Johnson Reform Movement. On my dad's side, my grandmother came West in the thirties with her family to escape the dustbowl and eventually help the war effort, bringing nothing more than they could fit in their blue Chevy and building a new life in Long Beach. Both my parents were raised here and went to Stanford University. My mom chose a career in public service, working as a legislative analyst and then deciding to become an elementary schoolteacher at the age of forty. My dad pursued a career in water policy, supplying Southern California with innovative new sources of local water. Tellingly, our family home in Paradise Valley has California native landscaping and uses one third as much water as the average Southern California home. In a deep way, good government is the Atwater family religion.
Today my family makes our own limoncello. We play board games with a spirit of fiercely friendly competition. Atwater family dinner involves a trip to the local farmers market, the neighborhood Korean grocery store, the Italian deli down in Glendale, the Middle Eastern market on Verdugo or the great fish market near Wilson Middle School (or more likely all of the above). Conversation would often turn to blue sky policy debates about the role of education in a democratic society, how to deal with the reality of millions more people immigrating to water challenged Southern California, or the governance implications of humanity becoming a truly spacefaring race. It's these sorts of conversations that really get at what the Atwater family is all about. Humanity has problems. Why not solve them? Of course, the size of the question doesn't mean you have to be stilted in answering it. Growing up, I'd often spontaneously bring friends by for dinner, still sweaty after a workout at the YMCA, because you can't let formalism get in the way of a great meal, and, well, I'm Californian.
And really I've been blessed to live the California Dream. Growing up, I snorkeled in the Great Barrier Reef off Australia, hiked the Swiss Alps, and climbed the Eiffel Tower. It was only when I was older, however, that I came to appreciate the stunning natural beauty and cultural heritage right here in California. Where else in the world does geography as varied as Yosemite, Mount Whitney, Death Valley, Big Sur and Malibu exist in a region the size of California? Who but the California people would think of putting Korean BBQ in a Mexican taco? More than just the good life, however, I have enjoyed California's famous opportunity, getting an incredible education in the state's public schools.
Of course, as Joan Didion aptly put it in her eighth grade graduation speech: "We can't stop and become satisfied and content. We must live up to our heritage, go on to better and greater things for California."2 And that's really the question I've been chasing my entire life: why not go on to better and greater things? My older brother Drew was a top math student, and I was always striving to beat him. I would end up getting second place at Los Angeles County Math Field Day. My parents ran the Los Angeles Marathon, so in sixth grade when I heard about Students Run LA, a program that gets kids to run the LA marathon, I ran home to tell my mom about it. My parents' gave me a knowing smile. I ran and completed the Los Angeles Marathon in seventh and eighth grade. When I went to high school, I took every AP classes I could, because I thrived on intellectual rigor. My Dad played at Stanford, so I joined the football team. I would be an All-League linebacker and Scholar-Athlete both my junior and senior year and go on to start all four years at Claremont McKenna. I enjoyed my other major, Philosophy, Politics and Economics (PPE), for similarly competitive reasons. Somewhat uniquely, PPE at Claremont has regular tutorials, opportunities for you to sit down with the professor and a classmate and debate the merits of your paper – essentially intellectual combat. In the meantime, I took a steady diet of abstract math classes. I was continually searching for something more, always looking to beat myself and go on to better and greater things.
Sometimes, of course, chasing that Dream has unforeseen consequences. On February 5, 2010, I asked my lifelong buddy Drugan, "Why not bike into Pasadena?" It was raining, but we'd talked about doing it for a while, and I was rarely in town. Really the timing was too perfect. So soon enough we were off and pedaling into the misty unknown, with nothing by my trusty Android phone to guide us. We went up Figueroa to Colorado, and while riding along these iconic LA streets past both rich and poor neighborhoods, I was struck by a surprising unification to these supposedly disparate Los Angeles neighborhoods. Everywhere I looked I saw the same low to medium density housing, the same autocentric culture, the same peculiarly L.A. eateries (old school cafeterias, burger joints, taco trucks, etc.), and the same love of backyard BBQ. The defining differences were of kind, not of category—the size of the houses, the niceness of the cars, the number of thousands in the gas grills.
Once in Pasadena, we reminisced about shenanigans past and schemed about the night to come. My best friend. My favorite city. The moment seemed too perfect to last. It was: soon we had to leave the comfort of the Thirty-Fiver and head back outside into the cold rain. We shivered our way back along Colorado until we reached the onramp to the 134 and the entrance to the aptly named suicide bridge. Deciding that trying to navigate a freeway onramp on a mountain and single-speed road bike might not be the best idea given the dark and rainy conditions, we elected to take the sidewalk to the pedestrian walkway. Narrow but navigable, the walkway put us right on top of the yawning panorama of the Arroyo Seco. I was quickly overwhelmed by the beauty of the moment. The aesthetic grandeur and rush of wind at my face fomented a sense of pure possibility, a bursting imperative asking why the California Dream couldn't become reality.
Distracted by these thoughts, I found myself almost crashing into the railing. I quickly adjusted and chastised myself for admiring the valley below when there was a road in front of me, and turned my sights to the matter at hand. Still the darkness, the mist, and the old-fashioned lampposts created an ethereal atmosphere, and an inescapable floating sensation emerged. Soon enough that floating became all too real, as the ground fell out from underneath me. I found myself tumbling down what felt like a set of stairs. I don't really remember what happened next. Yet later I'd learn what happened: I had fractured two vertebrae in my back and only by a small miracle avoided paralysis.
I think something similar has happened to our collective California Dream. This idea has become so rarefied, so hyperidealized, that it cannot but crash into inconvenient realities. You see this impossibly perfect dream at work in beachfront communities, which convinces homeowners to imagine this land a sort of picturesque Camelot – perfect for raising the kids! – never mind how many times it's slipped into the sea. You see it in California's public employee pensions, which seem to imagine California as sort of Atlantian engine of unending economic growth. You see it in the aspiring starlet, who imagines California a sort of Edenic home to the good life and makes the pilgrimage to Los Angeles no matter how many stories she hears about struggling actress-waitresses. Historically, we saw the dream of California as a bastion of economic opportunity for all crash into reality of narrow corporate interests at the turn of the last century, when the railroad slipped its octopus-like tentacles into every aspect of California governance for its own selfish ends. More unsettlingly, we saw the dream of California as a society in which everyone had a place crash into the reality of the Watts and Rodney King riots, exposing prejudices deeply ingrained into our most cherished social and political edifices.
Most poignantly, we feel the crash of the dream today. Our economy is slipping, with vast swathes of the population endemically unemployed. Our K-12 schools, once exemplifying California's commitment to equality of opportunity, now rank in the bottom of the nation. Our vaunted higher education system, formerly the envy of the world, is in crisis amidst fee hikes and an unprecedented reevaluation of the fundamental tenets of its master plan. Our prison costs are exploding. The list goes on and on. And amidst all these pressing policy challenges, our politicians can only bicker across a yawning ideological divide. Yet there is hope. After the dysfunction of the Octopus came the great Progressive Reform of the early 20th century. After the great racial earthquakes came the present day, a time when political scientists have started talking about postracial voters and when a generation is coming of age that cares less and less about the old antagonisms of the past. History is on California's side. We have overcome our societal crashes before, and there is no reason we cannot overcome them yet again.
Later that fateful February night, my parents left my bedside to go home, only to find a few hours later that our home had become an island, awash in a sea of mud. The Station Fire had raged just feet away from my neighborhood earlier that year, stripping the mountain of plants to hold the dirt in place. The inevitable mudflow flipped cars and tossed multi-ton K-rails like toys, crashing them into my neighbors' homes. The dream my family built in Paradise Valley was running into the reality of living in a fire-prone chaparral.
At a policy level, the courage and dedication of the firefighters, police officers, and other emergency workers belied that truth. The tremendous resources society spent to protect our home hid the fact that we chose to live in such a dangerous area. There is no good reason for all of society to subsidize well-off Californians like my family to live in natural disaster prone areas. Either we need to pick up more of the tab through user fees, or we shouldn't be allowed to live there. Being a fan of freedom, I would prefer the former. That way people can still live in immediacy with California's incredible beauty, but they are both made aware of the costs of their choices up front and society does not have to unreasonably bear their burden. The underlying point is that we can, through smart policy making and other institutional mechanisms, structure society so that the dream doesn't crash so dramatically—or even perhaps, at all. It is these sorts of stories, of a dream made too abstract for this world, and the potential for sound governance to provide a firm reality-based structure to undergird the abstract beauty of the California Dream, that I hope to elaborate in the coming pages.
Because at the end of the day, Californians will dream. Volunteering at my mother's classroom, I read a book about a family coming to California during the Gold Rush. I asked the kids, who could have formed a nice mini United Nations, why their family came to California. They told touching story after touching story about how their parents immigrated here because in California there were better jobs, better weather, or really just the possibility of a better life. Those stories affect how we live our lives. The other day I met a young father over in Compton who was looking for a new job so he could move to the Inland Empire and live closer to the San Gabriel Mountains. There Charles said he would find good schools and a good community where he could raise his daughter. And I think that explains the intense look in his eyes as he explained how everyday he looked at the San Gabriels and why I will remember the way he said "My Mountains" for the rest of my life. Even in the depths of the sea of sprawl that is contemporary Los Angeles, people look up and dream of something more. So as California stands mired in an unending budget crisis and gnawing doubt about what the future holds, I have written this book to ask the California people a simple question: Why not come together as Californians to fix our government and build that better life?

Bella Online DVD Review
M. E. Wood
BellaOnline's Large & Lovely Editor
Big Yoga - Flexibility
"For those who don't look like the traditional Yoga models."
A few years ago I reviewed another yoga CD (Big Yoga - Hatha 1) by Meera Patricia Kerr and while the technique and instruction were good it wasn't really a beginner's exercise video. Big Yoga - Flexibility is more of a starting point "to ease ourselves into yoga" or any physical activity for that matter.
Meera Patricia Kerr has been teaching yoga for 30 years and is certified in Hatha 1, Cardiac and Extra Gentle Yoga, and Meditation. Her approach is not commercial but strives to include a full body experience including a peaceful mind and strong breath.
The Flexibility CD begins with adaptations to positions to ease tension or pressure on hips, knees and wrists. Meera has a belly and admits it gets in the way while doing movements but it means she cannot bring the positions as close to her core as a slimmer person could. It does not mean they are not doable or beneficial, just different.
Big Yoga - Flexibility makes sure the ankles, hips, shoulders, neck, and wrists all get some activity. The movements are performed on the floor but many moves can be done in the chair or standing position if getting down on the floor is difficult. She uses layman terms and official yoga terms to cement understanding. Throughout each movement she gives helpful prompts to enliven the lungs with proper breathing (when to inhale or exhale) and rhythm.
Following the flexibility movements Meera takes viewers through one of the most popular sequence of yoga asanas, the Sun Salute. In the Hatha 1 video she taught viewers how to do the Sun Salute with a wall. In this video she teaches how to do it with a chair. This helps to keep the momentum going and is easier than getting up and down from the floor quickly and repeatedly but it is still beneficial. As the user progresses they can eventually transition to using the floor if they choose.
One of my favorite activities at the end of a yoga class is the guided relaxation/meditation. It helps me take stock of what my body is doing. In Meera's video it is done on the floor to relaxing music but can just as easily be performed on a bed or sitting in chair. The final part of the relaxation is nostril breathing and then she goes into a lovely peace chant.
For those who want to explore the chanting aspect of yoga this CD closes with an explanation of OM Shanti chanting -- personally, I found the accompanying accordion irritating after such a lovely relaxation and I think would have been better a cappella as Meera has a lovely voice. Chanting is not for everyone and having it at the end of the video makes it easier to skip.
The CD is divided into five sections totaling seventy minutes:
Intro - 6:22
Flexibility Series - 26:18
Chair Sun Salute - 6:40
Guided Relaxation and Pranayama - 23:46
Peace Chant - 7:41
There is the option to play the full program from start to finish or visit the specific chapters mentioned above.
Overall, this isn't your typical yoga video. There isn't a series of yoga movements to practice other than the Sun Salute but a series of gentle movements to increase the body's range of motion and full breathe. Big Yoga - Flexibility would be perfect for anyone who hasn't been active in a while. It is slow but invigorating for the whole body and would be a perfect start OR end to the day. It is good for all sizes and all ages (the instructor is in her sixties). I highly recommend Big Yoga Flexibility series by Meera Patricia Kerr (BigYogaOnline.com) for anyone who wants to ease back into being active.
Purchase Big Yoga Flexibility from Amazon.com.
Disclosure: Meera Patricia Kerr provided Big Yoga - Flexibility to me free of charge to review.

For sixteen centuries the Order of Pythia has awaited the reappearance of the ancient oracle of sacred knowledge at Delphi. An earthquake, rending the earth beneath the ruins, has now heralded her return. Dorian Belecamus, a beautiful and bewitching archaeology professor, sees an opportunity to do more than dig into the past: this is her chance to seize control of her country's future—by becoming the Oracle of Delphi! And she's found just the man to help her consummate her scheme. He's brash, he's reckless, and he's fallen under her spell. His name: Indiana Jones.Their adventure spans the globe from Chicago to Paris to Greece, where, bullwhip in hand, Indy descends into the bottomless pit of the serpent god and finds a sacred stone that holds the key to the oracle's prophecies. But Dorian has designed an even more sinister fate for young Indy: she means to make him her lover, her priest, and her pawn in a plot to kill the king. Will Indy find the source of Pythia's powers—or will he find himself sacrificed at Dorian's altar, a victim of her deadly ambition and desire?

Belmont Charter School
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
"Belmont Charter School was founded in 2002 by the Philadelphia School Reform Commission. Formerly a public school with the Philadelphia School District, Belmont Charter School is unique in the fact that student enrollment is determined by a geographic catchment area (39th Street to 42nd Street, from Lancaster Avenue to Mantua Avenue), versus the typical lottery style of enrollment associated with charter schools. As such, Belmont truly is a ""community"" based charter school in every sense of the word. The current 1st through 8th grade program serves 430 students and has a 17:1 student to teacher ratio. Over 99% of Belmont students identify as African-American. A high percentage of neighborhood residents live below the poverty line (38%), and the percentage of residents who received public assistance in 2009 (14%) is also nearly twice as high as the city-wide average (8%). Ninety-eight percent of our students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. We aim to equip our students with a comprehensive education to confront the challenges that an underserved population may face. Belmont Charter School is open year-round, offering out-of-school-time programs, yoga and dance classes for adults, family events, and emotional, mental and behavioral support through our Family Support Specialists team."
"Belmont Sprouts was created in 2009 to incorporate educational gardening and greening activities into Belmont Charter's curriculum. An initial site plan was created by several students which included six raised beds, a fruit tree, and several rain barrels. To date Belmont Charter has leveraged the resources necessary begin this original vision – with the help of Recyclebank we hope to make our garden complete. To date our students have grown an assortment of plants and vegetables – including peppers, tomatoes, and kale. Earlier this year we have ramped up our curriculum and our capacity, engaging additional teachers and students. In 2012 Belmont Sprouts received a Woolly School Garden grant to create a vertical edible garden on our building. We also received support from Whole Foods allowing us to provide user-friendly gardening curriculum to our teachers. This allows all our teachers - even those without green thumbs - to educate students on healthy food choices. We seek additional support through the Recyclebank Green Schools Program to complete the construction of our Belmont Sprouts garden and to host a special Mother's Day Spring Planting event. As a community school we see engaging parents in Belmont Sprouts as a creative opportunity to educate our families around healthy lifestyle options. Our goal is to create three additional raised beds, install a greenhouse, and plant a fruit tree. We are also requesting tools and supplies to allow Belmont Sprouts to maintain our crops throughout the season. We anticipate constructing the raised beds and greenhouse in late March 2013, with a spring planting in early April around Mother's Day. Sustainability is a key element to our program – as our gardens needs tending to grow, so do our students. We seek to create an outdoor classroom environment which would allow us to teach multiple subjects. We anticipate incorporating math and science lessons through Belmont Sprouts, using our garden and our greenhouse as an interactive way to engage students with nature. Through identified Sprout volunteers, teachers will help students create a work plan to maintain their garden, harvest their crops, and plan ahead for future plantings."

Everytime the waiter came back someone else had the hat on...He finally figured it out. I was nearly in tears from laughing.

Achim Steiner, the executive director of the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP), on Monday formally declared his intention to vie for the top seat at the UN refugee agency (UNHCR).
In a statement, Steiner revealed he had already submitted his credentials to the UN Secretary General Ban-Ki Moon.
"I can confirm I have submitted my candidacy to the Secretary General for the post of UN High Commissioner for Refugees. I also acknowledge with gratitude that my candidacy has been endorsed by the German government," he remarked.
Among other competitors for the UNHCR top position currently are former Danish prime minister Helle Thorning-Schmidt and Italian diplomat Filippo Grandi, a former leader of UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA), reported Xinhua.
The UN General Assembly in 2006 approved the nomination of Steiner as the UNEP executive director for a four-year term.
In 2010, Steiner's helm at the UN environmental body was extended up to June 2016.
A German national, Steiner has worked in a number of global bodies that deals with conservation and water resources management.

Criminal Law
Criminal Law Questions? Ask a Criminal Lawyer.
Hello. My name is XXXXX XXXXX I will be glad to help you.
Are you online with me?
Welcome to JustAnswer.com
I am very sorry to hear about your son's unfortunate situation.
Do you know it any of the charges are felonies?
Well this is a very serious situation.
When was your son arrested?
Has he been in jail since then and what is the amount of the bond?
Does your son have any prior criminal history?
Does you son have any prior criminal history?
Was he also charged with possession of CDS with intent to distribute or just felony possession?
Well, Oklahoma has some of the nation's toughest laws when it comes to drugs.
Unfortunately, if convicted your son would fact a minimum of 2 years in prison and a maximum of 10 years in prison.
The only think that you could do at this point to help him, is to bond him our and to hire a private experienced local criminal defense attorney to fight for your son's freedom in this criminal case.
I am sorry to give you this bad news, but the law is actually very clear on penalties for this specific felony drug offense.
Well, jail is generally not the best place to be in.
Also, it would be easier for your son's local criminal defense attorney to consult with your son, if your son is out of jail.
Does it make sense?
It is possible, but it would be up to the local criminal defense attorney to negotiate a plea deal which might allow your son to plead to a reduced charge and hopefully to avoid prison time.
However, the fact that your son has prior conviction would make the job harder.
Public Defenders are good lawyers, but unfortunately they are severely overworked and underpaid.
And your son's situation would require a lot of work and attention.
Does this make sense?
Do you have any related follow up questions for me at this time?
I wish you the best of luck.Please click on the "Excellent Service" feedback, so I can receive credit for my answer.Bonus and positive feedback are always appreciated, but are not required

Marcus: Anyone special waiting for you back home?
Ivanova: No, not anymore. You?
Marcus: Someone. She doesn't know it yet.
Ivanova: That's a strange way to pursue a relationship.
Marcus: I suppose so. Ah... I want this thing to go right. I want it to be special.
Ivanova: Oh. A romantic! I don't think I've felt that way since the... first time!
Marcus: That's what I'm talking about.
Ivanova: You mean you don't... you haven't...
Marcus: Yes.
Ivanova: You're a...
Marcus: Exactly.
Ivanova: With anyone?
Marcus: Never met the right person before.
Ivanova: Wow. I thought the First Ones were rare! Well, I hope she appreciates it.
Marcus: So do I.
Vir: Remember, what I said before, there must be another way? I was wrong. Kill him!
Ivanova: (attempting to speak Minbari) Added both engines at full... high power. hatrack ratcatcher to port weapons... brickhat lingerie!
Garibaldi: We could barely stop the Shadows, how do we stop them and the Vorlons?
Lyta: I don't know. All I know is that unless you do stop them, it won't matter who wins and who loses, because none of us, not a single world in 70 light years in any direction, will live to see it.
Sheridan: Since the Shadows are ready to strike back at any time now, we are caught in the middle again.
Lyta: This latest incident, everything that's happened lately, it's convinced the Vorlons that their only alternative is to destroy the Shadows and anyone touched by them. Like an infection, you have to... cut it out.
Franklin: And any healthy tissue that's cut out along the way.. well, that's okay, because it's all for a good cause.
Delenn: Why the wars? Why the fighting? If each side agreed to respect the other..
Sheridan: I don't know who started it first, Delenn, but somewhere along the line they both decided that their way was the right way, the only way, and we've been caught in the middle ever since.
Sheridan: When most of the First Ones left, two of them, the Shadows and Vorlons, stayed behind. Their job was to keep an eye on the younger races, help them along, but .. they couldn't decide or agree on what had to be done. The Vorlons believed that strength comes through order and discipline, the Shadows believe in promoting evolution through conflict, starting wars.
Lennier: Those are diametrically opposite positions.
Sheridan: Exactly. Now, at first there was a balance between the two sides. They abided by rules of engagement, respected each others positions, but that changed over time.
Sheridan: We can end this. Not just for now, not just for the next thousand years, but forever.
Marcus: I'm picking something up.
Ivanova: A unicorn? .. Sorry.
Kosh: Would you know my thoughts? Would you?
Lyta: While I was carrying you, you felt cold, hard. What are you hiding from me?
Kosh: Your work for now is done here. Go. Sleep.
Lyta: I have a right to know. I've done everything you asked. I let your people modify me, enhance my telepathic abilities so I'd be more suited to carry a Vorlon around in my head, because I believed. Kosh, the real Kosh wasn't like this. I think in some level he cared about us, about me. With you it's as if I'm being used and then thrown away when I'm not needed anymore. Dammit! I have earned some respect! And I have earned some answers!
Kosh: Respect? From whom?
Delenn: I thought he would welcome the chance to strike at the Shadows.
Lyta: I think the Vorlons have plans of their own. There's .. there's something going on.. Something they haven't told us yet.
Delenn: Do you have any idea?
Lyta: No, and frankly, I'm afraid to ask. I don't think that they care about what happens to us anymore, Delenn. I think their game just got bigger than that.
Delenn: He can't force you to live like this, can he?
Lyta: Yes, he can.
Cartagia: Silence! Silence! Where's the joy in that, really? He's so insubordinate, I can't have him challenging my authority that way.
Cartagia: Damned! Damned! Damned silence. He refuses to bow, he refuses to drink.
Londo: Majesty!
Cartagia: Did you know we assigned one of our best pain technicians -- pain technicians, they used to be called torturers, ever since they got organized it's 'pain technicians' -- Why are you here? One of our very best torturers, I felt certain he would break him. Two hours he worked, not a sound. I said: 'Give me a cry, rin-tintsy. Give me a shout, a whimper, a scream.' Silence! So, I got to it myself. You can't leave these things to others, they never get it right! And well, you can see for yourself. If I didn't know better, I would say he was a mute. Silence! I'm beginning to understand what you're going through with this G'Kar. How you put up with this at all, I have no idea.
Londo: He was a small burden.
Vir: I can't believe it. Did you see him?
Londo: I was right there, Vir. I saw him.
Vir: How can you see G'Kar like that and feel nothing?
Londo: I feel, Vir. I wish that I didn't, it would make this all much easier. We must play along until the time is right.
Vir: I don't know if G'Kar can survive that long.
Londo: He will survive. He must. For my sake as well as his own.
Ivanova: What's next on the list?
Marcus: Sector 87/20/42. At least a dozen ships have reported seeing something rather godlike in the area, and since neither you nor I were there, it must be one of the First Ones.
Ivanova: You are having delusions of grandeur again.
Marcus: Well, if you're gonna have delusions, you may as well go for the really satisfying ones.
Delenn: Tell the crew: 'Anyone who laughs will answer to me personally.'
Sheridan: The Ambassador is correct I went to Z'ha'dum. I've seen the face of the enemy. They're not gods, and they're not indestructible. I've fought them and I've killed many of them, and I've survived. There is a way out of this. A way to stop this insanity once and for all. Now Delenn's fleet is a start. Now we have to build on it. Together we will form the largest fleet in history. Not just for a battle, but to change the shape of the galaxy. Not just for ourselves, but for our children and our children's children. You tell your governments that the only man to survive Z'ha'dum sends this message: we can end this! Not just for now, not just for the next thousand years but FOREVER! I stand before as PROOF that it can be done! We can fight and we can WIN but ONLY if we do it TOGETHER! -- Can I count on you?! -- Can I count on you?! WILL YOU STAND TOGETHER?!
Drazi: Captain? We're sorry. We thought you were dead.
Sheridan: I was. I'm better now.
Cinzia Zanetti, Ron Pipes, John Vulich, John Wheaton, Mike Measimer, Gabriel De Cunto, Rob Sherwood, Liz Dean and Fionagh Cush were nominated for the 1997 Emmy Award for "Outstanding Makeup for a Series" for this episode.
Outside of "The Gathering" this is the first regular episode to feature all the cast members listed in the opening credits. Each previous episode had always been missing at least one.
The reason Garibaldi is standing way in the background when Sheridan returns is because Jerry Doyle thought he was finished with the episode, and wouldn't be back until the next week, so he had his head shaved. Then he found out he was supposed to film one more day. So to avoid any continuity issues, they put him way in the back.
Biblical Reference: G'Kar is whipped 40 times.
G'Kar is whipped 39 times because 40 would kill a Narn. The is most likely a reference to Deuteronomy 25:1-3 in the Old Testament which warns against whipping a man more than 40 times. Whipping someone more than 40 times will cause one to lose the respect of one's brethren.

I'm a little bit insane but I enjoy who I am and I'm quite satisfied with my life even though at times it doesn't seem too grand. My hobbies consist of watching random tv shows, staying up to crazy hours of the night and sleeping during the day, writing anything that comes to mind no matter what the time or the situation, tape, yes I like tape, and anything 100% natural, earthwise. I acquire my inspiration from the happenings around me and things that occur in my own life and how I am feeling overall. Music is something that I am extremely passionate about, even though I am musically challenged, I listen to it every second that I can. My musical taste consists of anything that is meaningful and loud enough that it will give me a massive headache in a matter of seconds. You may ask me about music and books and I will love to have a conversation with you about both of these things. My works aren't going to be very well written because I don't get much feedback from my peers, because a good majority aren't mature enough to know what I'm writing about, but I would love to get it from everyone that reads my works. Constructive criticism is greatly appreciated. :) If anything I write or post offends you, you can just cease to read or look at that specific piece. Thanks world. :) P.S. I have a Lycan/Vamp story that is in the making and will be posting it as soon and my life decides to take a break from the chaos. It's not based off of any stereotype but what I think a Lycan/Vamp story should be like.

Twenty-Four Hours
Whether you use a boxed hair color at home or you get it done professionally at a salon, the recommended wait time before washing your hair is 24 hours. If you use a double-process color (such as a base color and highlights), try to go 48 hours without washing your hair to allow your hair and scalp to build up their natural oils again.
Wash Immediately
If you have unexpected results such as an overly vibrant, dark or ashy color, the professionals at Schwarzkopf (a leader in the hair color industry) suggest washing your hair immediately.
Bottom Line
Wait a minimum of 24 hours after any color process for best results, unless you want to tone down the color-in, in which case wash it immediately. Always follow up with a deep conditioner to restore moisture to the hair.

OnForce's Services Marketplace Index Reveals Consumers And Business
OnForce, the trusted online marketplace and national network of thousands of technology service technicians, today released the OnForce Services Marketplace Index (OSMI) for the second quarter of 2009. Based on more than 70,000 service events this quarter across North America, the OSMI provides a comprehensive analysis of key spending trends in information technology (IT) and consumer electronic (CE) services. Key findings this quarter show that spending in the "break-fix" sector – from diagnose and repair to parts swap – remained at a consistent high with Q1 2009, accounting for 63 percent of all work orders. In addition, OnForce saw enterprises utilize the platform more extensively to handle longer term projects in order to maximize efficiency.
In terms of highest volume categories, PC Desktop ranked first for highest work order volume for the fourth straight quarter in a row (accounting for nearly one third of all jobs.) Of this, three quarters were break-fix related work. Other high volume work categories for the quarter included TV/Video and Network, which accounted for 19 percent and 13 percent of all work orders respectively.
"As evidenced by the overall drop in PC shipments this year, it is clear that businesses and consumers are still opting to repair and retain, rather than purchase new equipment for the time being," said Peter Cannone, CEO of OnForce. "Although we are seeing cautious behavior in a challenging economy, there are signs of a turnaround including the stabilization of work order pricing in our Marketplace."
Other key findings include:
While high in terms of overall completed work orders, TV/Video experienced the largest decline in volume this quarter. The category saw a four percent loss, from 23% in Q1 to 19% in Q2. This can be partially attributed to businesses and consumers opting to repair or install converter boxes for the Digital TV transition, rather than install new television sets.
Hourly rates for Home Theater onsite service continued to be priced higher than all other CE categories.
The "Other" category accounted for nearly 8% of all work order volume this quarter due to an increase in micro staffing and project related work among enterprises.
Average work order value for both VoIP/Telephony and PC Desktop dropped significantly over Q1 2009.
Work order values declined from $359 to $271 in the VoIP/Telephony category
Work order values declined from $114 to $101 in the PC Desktop category
Houston, Chicago, and New York saw the most onsite service volume for the third quarter in a row.
ï€ Kentucky, West Virginia, and Maryland were the least expensive states for onsite service in Q2, a shift from Q1 when Ohio, Indiana, and Massachusetts were the least expensive states.
Massachusetts saw a marked uptick in pricing for onsite services, jumping to #16.
"Due to economic conditions, we are seeing enterprises using the OnForce platform for more nontraditional service events," noted Cannone. "With companies looking to maximize efficiencies across the board in a down economy, we expect this to be an increasing trend over the next year."
The OSMI Q2 2009 report is available for download at

Project New Dawn (All-In-One server)
New Dawn was created back in July 2011 by HeHu and 3ventic, the server was up for 4 years, until August 2015 and then closed!
But as they say "Criminals always return to the scene of the crime." and New Dawn is back in action, now being lead by Fruity and HeHu!
What is New Dawn?
New Dawn is a multi-mode server created to satisfy every player's desires, ranging from simple stunting, to crazy stunting, to reckless car demolition, to weaponry and much more!
New Dawn is one of the very few servers having many different gamemodes in one and only server!
But by bringing other games, like MTA's unique gamemodes into SAMP, it becomes even more unique and enjoyable!
Yea, nice to know about that but what are those gamemodes?
Don't worry we will tell you everything you need to know about the current 7 gamemodes present in our server!
Here are they:
Basejump [BJ]
Basejump is a skydiving gamemode, the main objective is to reach the end of the map without dying, passing through many different obstacles! When many players reach the end of the map, every player will be given weapons to fight for the number #1 spot!
Bio-Hazard [BH]
Bio-Hazard also known as "Zombie Mode" is very known by everyone, a random player is infected at the very beginning of the round, his objective as a zombie is to infect the survivors before the end, in the opposite case the main objective for survivors is to survive the zombie attack until the end!
Race DM [DM]
Race DeathMatch is a MTA very own gamemode, it's objective is to drive until the end of the map, without failing and grab the hunter at the end, when you've finished the map, if there is any other player alive, your objective is now to kill them with your hunter!
This mode contains maps ranging from normal maps where your skills are put to the test, to almost impossible maps where your skills are pushed to the limits! You have a very very large amount of maps to chose and play!
Derby [DD]
Derby, the objective in this mode is very simple, all you have to do is destroy the other players' vehicles or push them out of the map/into the water and be the last one alive to win the round!
Easy DM [EDM]
Easy DeathMatch is exactly the same concept as Race DM, but it's way easier!
Hunger Games [HG]
Hunger Games mode! Inspired from the movie, in this mode your objective is to kill every other player in the map! You'll spawn with nothing, no weapons, no food, no drinks, nothing. You must find weapons to kill the other players, gadgets and protections to survive and food and drinks in order to stay alive and win! You lose if you get killed or die of thirst or hunger!
Let the games begin, and may the odds be in your favor!
Stunt / Freeroam [ST]
Stunt, the easiest gamemode in our server, why? Because there's no objective, you're free to do whatever you want, you can spawn weapons and vehicles using our commands, drive around the map, have fun with your friends, stunt and plenty of other cool stuff!
Looks nice but, do you have any good video, to show us what is looks like?
Ask and you shall receive!
All of this looks really cool and nice, I really want to join!
That's amazing, here you have all of the information you need to join us:
IP: server.dawn-tdm.com:7777 (Hosted-Tab)
Our server also has a TeamSpeak and Discord server to make playing more enjoyable!
Forums + UCP: https://dawn-tdm.com/ / https://ucp.dawn-tdm.com/
Find out more about the server in our forums, like special VIP features, events soon to come and much more!
Hope to see you soon there!

Malcolm Boyd recalls the day he was met Thomas Merton.
He welcomed me to his home, a large, silmple room in the monastic community. Books and LPs were stacked everywhere, including my book of prayers, "Are You Running with Me, Jesus?" Ours quickly became a torrent of conversation. We know our time together was limited. So we talked about virtually everything. War. Peace. Race. Prayer. Literature. He explained that he did not see films because his was an isolated rural life. Yet he included French cinema director Jean-Luc Godard in our conversation.
We gossiped! We dissed both the Vatican and the Episcopal Church! Both religious institutions clearly stood in need of a sense of humor, particularly in relation to themselves. So our conversation covered glaring faiilures of organized religion as well as scintillating reflections of hopefull signs for a future. I was struck by his alert humor, easy grace and gentle openness. He was a unique sort of holy person, totally human, devoid of posturing. His life was clearly not a scripted one. Thomas Merton was not playing a role. I found him a pure delight because, as much as I cherish theatre, I prefer to keep it on a stage. In my view all the world's not a stage at all. So I was delighted simply to meet a kindred soul.
What struck me with considerable force was an instant awareness that we weren't meeting as two persons in an instititutional setting, religious or otherwise. In other words, we weren't locked into "ecumenical" or "interfaith" recognized categories. We carried no religious passports. No so-called allegiance to any religious institution defined us or in any way limited our freedom to be ourselves. I guess one could say that we un-self-consciously celebrated the peculiar and wonderful freedom of faith.

We also ask that you limit your comments to no more than four comments per story per day.
What strikes me about Fr. Boyd's recollection is how much it's grounded in the facade that is social interaction. From this and from other things I've heard about him, Thomas Merton seems to have been a very dynamic and passionate individual, a really wonderful person to talk to. Those aren't particularly saintly characteristics, however, and I'm somewhat troubled by what I've heard about how poorly Merton lived out his commitments.

Santini Winter Overshoes
Every winter, you head out to ride swathed in warm layers. That is, everywhere except for your feet, and of course, every winter you curse yourself for this. This year, with Santini's Winter Overshoes, you're finally able to say goodbye to cold feet, and to stay a few steps ahead of the cold. Winter shoe covers often fit like large, baggie sacks over your cleats, and as a result, cold air seeps in through the gaps. Santini's Winter Overshoes, however, were sewn from its Tour Thermofleece fabric in order to prevent this. Basically, this material is a highly flexible, thermal fabric that pulls on easily and conforms to the curves of your shoes. In other words, there are no gaps between your shoes and the fabric. Additionally, the covers received an Acqua Zero treatment that creates a water resistant finish at the surface. So, you won't have to worry about your shoe covers being soaked through from wheel spray. The design of the overshoes reflects its fit streamlined and minimal. They feature a pull on styling, which means that you won't have to fumble with zipper tabs or hook and loop closures while wearing gloves. It also means that there are no cracks for cold air to pass through. Additionally, the soles are cut out for your cleats, as well as your heel, which minimizes tentative strides off the bike. Reflective piping and a reflective Santini logo increase your visibility to motorists in low light conditions. The Santini Winter Overshoes are available in the sizes X SmallSmall, MediumLarge, and X LargeXX Large and in the colors Black, Royal, and White. Please note that these overshoes were designed for use with standard three hole road cleats.
