The delineation between forwards and strikers can be blurry, but there's no question Clint Dempsey is the top American up top.
Six goals in nine games for the USA last year confirmed his status as the most dangerous U.S. forward, and with Landon Donovan on hiatus, the focal point of its front-line attacking play.
In a traditional two-forward alignment, players of different abilities are often paired to present a more complex and difficult task to the opposing defense. Some players can swap roles comfortably, with one playing underneath the other, others are more limited even if they are effective. Teams that play with three forwards or one player alone up top add to the overlapping of assignments.
In the broadest terms, forwards are more versatile than strikers, who tend to play centrally in the restricted roles of posting up, playing one-twos, and getting shots on frame. Forwards have all of those responsibilities in addition to roaming side-to-side in search of space, floating into midfield to draw defenders and open up lanes, and using the wings to drive past opponents to serve crosses or take shots. The differences between a (second) forward and an attacking midfielder aren't always clear, either.
These rankings are based on national team performances, future prospects, and other factors, such as club form.
Soccer America's Top 6 U.S. Forwards
1. Clint Dempsey (Tottenham), 91 caps
2. Chris Wondolowski (San Jose Earthquakes), 10.
3. Juan Agudelo (Chivas USA), 16.
4. Chris Rolfe (Chicago Fire), 10.
5. Teal Bunbury (Sporting Kansas City), 4.
6. Joe Gyau (St. Pauli), 1.
Also considered: Jesus Padilla (La Piedad)
His tally of five goals in 18 league matches isn't all that impressive, yet Dempsey needed time to settle at Tottenham and convince Coach Andre Villas-Boas that he could play in support of teammates Jermaine Dafoe and Emmanuel Adebayor, or without them alone up top. His communication with winger Gareth Bale is also blossoming, as evidenced by his excellent headed goal against Coventry City in a 3-0 FA Cup win that was Deuce's second of the game.
The main concern for Coach Jurgen Klinsmann, aside from injury, will be monitoring Dempsey's energy levels, especially in the three Hexagonal qualifiers to be played in June after the English season has concluded. He will need plenty of support as opponents take their shots to stop him. His range of movement and variety of tricks gives him more attacking weapons than any other U.S. player.
Wondolowski's frustrating stints with the national team -- no goals in 10 appearances that include a few glaring misses –- haven't affected his MLS performances, though he's also yet to net in a playoff game. The movement of the ball, the poise and balance with which he shoots, the exemplary commitment and workrate, and the attitude of a consummate pro would seem tailor made for the international game. He's the top MLS forward yet is spinning his wheels for the USA.
After scoring on his debut in the post-2010 World Cup friendly against South Africa, Agudelo's hit only one goal in the last 15 appearances. A move from the Red Bulls to Chivas USA didn't revive his club career and a rumored transfer to Glasgow Celtic has further muddled his status. His only U.S. appearance last year produced an assist against Russia and though he looked capable in his 28 minutes of action he's yet to prove that at age 20 he's truly ready for this level.
Rolfe has been out of the national team since 2009 but there's no doubt he's among the most skillful and craftiest American MLS players. Whether that translates to call-ups from Klinsmann remains to be seen. His first season back in MLS following three up-and-down years in Denmark produced eight goals in 22 games; it's not hard to see him in the Gold Cup squad this summer if he and the Fire start strongly.
Bunbury's game features the pace and athleticism Klinsmann likes but a knee injury suffered in August limited him to just two U.S. games in 2012 and kept him out of the January camp. Once he recovers should be back on the U.S. radar screen by the back end of the Hexagonal schedule if not the Gold Cup.
A loan from Hoffenheim, which has replaced Fulham as the go-to club for American players, to St. Pauli in the German Bundesliga 2 is a key factor in the development of Gyau. He's played for the U.S.-17s and U-20s, and last year played all four games for the U-23s in their failed attempt to qualify for the Olympic Games. Another player blessed with speed and skill, he needs some solid showings for St. Pauli to get a shot with the big team.

Hi KEF students, I saw this in article in the Arctic Sounder and thought it would be nice to share with you! Keep up the good work in school and life. Summer is almost here!
"Barrow woman reaching lofty goals" by Cary Restino in the Arctic Sounder, 4/13/2012:
Most teenagers waffle a bit about what they want to be when they grow up. Not Heather Dingman. Choosing what do with her life was the easy part. Achieving her goals has been a bit more challenging.
Dingman, who is from Barrow, said a trip up in a helicopter when she was in school sealed the deal for her.
"It really hooked me into wanting to learn more about what it took to fly or be a pilot," Dingman said.
More than a passing childhood fantasy, Dingman held onto the dream, and when her class was asked to explore a career at 16, she looked up the path she'd need to follow to become a helicopter pilot.
The next year, she tried to enlist in the Air National Guard, thinking that would be a good way to learn to fly. But a pre-existing heart condition kept her from being accepted. Far from being deterred, however, she enrolled at University of Alaska Fairbanks with a major of aviation technician. It was then that she realized how expensive her dream really was.
"I couldn't afford the flight time," Dingman said, adding that the cost of renting aircraft to get the required hours to become a pilot has a big price tag.
Instead of give up, however, Dingman majored in business, figuring it was a degree she could use to earn enough money to some day get back to flying. She found a job working for the North Slope Borough's health department, and started saving. With her savings and scholarship funds, she was able refocus on her dream and get back to flying. After about a year, she achieved her first goal and in December, received her helicopter pilot's license. Now, she's attending instrument ground school so that she will be licensed to fly in instrument flight weather. After that, and a lot of hours in a rented helicopter, Dingman will be able to fly commercially.
Her ultimate goal would be to fly as helicopter pilot for the North Slope Borough, perhaps in the emergency services field.
Why not choose something a little less stressful, like flight-seeing tours?
"I guess I was inspired by my dad growing up," said Dingman, whose father, Joe Dingman, is a captain and training officer with the North Slope Borough Fire Department. Heather Dingman said she learned the value of community service from him.
"I saw how important it is for the community to have people (respond)," Dingman said. "It would mean more to me and more to my community."
Dingman said anyone who is similarly inspired should stick with it, despite the challenges would-be helicopter pilots face to be certified. While the path to becoming a commercial helicopter pilot is not easy, the same inspiration she felt on that first ride continues to drive her efforts.
"Being in a helicopter, the control you feel when flying one, feels amazing," she said.

In Feb. Motor Trend, they tested the '04 EVO RS that will be sold this year, with only 3500 produced a year. Its everything that the 2003 Evo is, but there are some exceptions:
Audio System
HID Headlights
Carbon Fiber Wing
Rear Wiper
Map Lights
Rear Assist Handles
Leather Wrapped Brake handle
Center Console Lid
Keyless Entry
Oh, and also a stripped trunk, unpainted side mirrors and door handles
-This gives it an 88-144lb reduction depending on options
Options for this car are and upgraded 315-amp seven-speaker infinity stereo w/ trunk mounted sub, and leather Recaro seats.
Doing this keeps mitsubishi with their promise of keeping the Evo under 30k. But at the same time will keep producing the Non-RS Evo most likely with better performance #'s and over 30k.
(^^ My opinion)
The Evo RS price as tested in the magazine is for $26,500 ($27,095 est.)
Evo RS/Evo Performance Specs from Magazine:

Service expectations placed on the fire service, including Emergency Medical Services (EMS), response to natural disasters, hazardous materials incidents, and acts of terrorism, have steadily increased. However, local decision-makers are challenged to balance these community service expectations with finite resources without a solid technical foundation for evaluating the impact of staffing and deployment decisions on the safety of the public and firefighters. For the first time, this study investigates the effect of varying crew size, first apparatus arrival time, and response time on firefighter safety, overall task completion, and interior residential tenability using realistic residential fires. This study is also unique because of the array of stakeholders and the caliber of technical experts involved. Additionally, the structure used in the field experiments included customized instrumentation; all related industry standards were followed; and robust research methods were used. The results and conclusions will directly inform the NFPA 1710 Technical Committee, who is responsible for developing consensus industry deployment standards. This report presents the results of more than 60 laboratory and residential fireground experiments designed to quantify the effects of various fire department deployment configurations on the most common type of firea low hazard residential structure fire. For the fireground experiments, a 2,000 sq ft (186m2), two-story residential structure was designed and built at the Montgomery County Public Safety Training Academy in Rockville, MD. Fire crews were deployed in response to live fires within this facility. In addition to systematically controlling for the arrival times of the first and subsequent fire apparatus, crew size was varied to consider two-, three-, four-, and five-person staffing.

About Toronto
The city of Toronto is by far the most populous in all of Canada, and has long been regarded as one of the most ethnically and culturally diverse cities in the world. The many distinct neighborhoods, restaurants serving every type of cuisine, and international events held year-round mean that you can see the world without ever leaving the area. Explore the trendy shops and glitzy attractions of Old Toronto, the charming parks and green scenery of Scarborough, and the array of restaurants scattered throughout York.
Here are just some of the must-see attractions and activities in this cosmopolitan getaway destination:
- Art Gallery of Ontario: See the vast exhibit of Canadian paintings and the largest collection of Henry Moore sculptures in the world.
- CN Tower: Take a glass elevator to the top of this structure that is over 500 meters tall.
- Spadina House: This historic mansion which is well over 150 years old has recently been renovated and also contains a beautiful garden which is free to the public.
- Toronto Zoo: This zoo is particularly unique because the animals are divided up by zones according to their continents of origin.
- Go to the Beach: Toronto is home to lovely beaches including Point Beach and Wasaga Beach.
- The Toronto Islands: Take a ferry ride from Bay St. to these nearby tranquil islands with amazing city views.
With over six million residents living in the Toronto area, it's no surprise that there seems to be a major event taking place in the city almost every night of the week. Sample the artwork of some of the top artists throughout Canada at the Scotiabank Nuit Blanche in October, join the thousands of residents who travel to Nathan Phillips Square for the Cavalcade of Lights in November, or celebrate Canada Day in July with live music and fireworks at Mel Lastman Square.
Whether you're looking for a luxury condo or an apartment with world-class views of the Toronto Skyline, there's a vacation rental available that will meet both your vacation needs and budget. The city also serves as a great base for exploring the rest of southwestern Ontario. If you have some extra time to explore, drive an hour south to the beautiful Niagara Falls, or head two hours north to the charming countryside town of Muskoka.

Rape, mutilation: Pakistan's tribal justice for women
Note: This article contains disturbing content that may be triggering for some readers.
By Rebecca Conway
(Reuters) - On April 14, two men entered Asma Firdous' home, cut off six of her fingers, slashed her arms and lips and then sliced off her nose. Before leaving the house, the men locked their 28-year-old victim inside.
Asma, from impoverished Kohaur Junobi village in Pakistan's south, was mutilated because her husband was involved in a dispute with his relatives, and they wanted revenge.
Her fate is familiar in parts of Pakistan's remote and feudal agricultural belts, where women are often used as bargaining chips in family feuds, and where the level of violence they face is increasing in frequency and brutality.
At the hospital in nearby Multan town, Asma's shocked parents sat quietly by her bedside and struggled to explain what the future holds for their now disfigured daughter.
"I don't know what will happen to her when she leaves here," Asma's father, Ghulam Mustafa, said, in a dilapidated ward heavy with the smell of antiseptic and blood, where other women, doused with acid or kerosene by relatives or fellow villagers, awaiting an equally uncertain future.
Asked if Asma will return to her husband, her father remains silent.
Pakistan is the world's third-most dangerous country for women, after Afghanistan and the Democratic Republic of Congo, based on a survey conducted by the Thomson Reuters Foundation.
In its 2010 report, the Human Rights Commission of Pakistan says almost 800 women were victims of "honor killings" -- murders aimed at preserving the honor of male relatives -- and 2,900 women reported raped -- almost eight a day.

Steve Earle
Feed, Seed and Tires. A sign I remember from visiting my grandparents in mid-Ohio back in the early seventies.
While I'm not NOT a fan of Steve Earle, it wouldn't be truthful to call myself a fan. You know what i mean. I'd always found him pretty easy to ignore, to be honest, until I caught him in his turn acting on HBO's excellent drama "The Wire". Earle's music was featured in several episodes as well, and maybe by virtue of his association with the show I found myself intrigued and wanting to better familiarize myself with his recordings.
I have a passing familiarity with country/folk music, mostly where it intersects with rock music. Mostly I like my country music (and I do like my country music) unadulterated by pop/rock and of the pre-Nashville variety. I'm well aware of Graham Parsons and Townes VanZandt and the impact their material had on many contemporary rock musicians. Mr Earle's story became infinitely more interesting when I learned that Townes VanZandt was indeed his mentor and they had a professional relationship and friendship that lasted for 25 years until Mr VanZandt's death at the age of 52. Earle honed his craft under the tutelage of Mr VanZandt; unfortunately it would seem that VanZandt also showed his protege to a life in shadows.
VanZandt's struggles with alcohol and heroin are well known and it it widely believed that his excesses brought him to his early grave. Mr Earle managed to kick his heroin addiction in the middle nineties while in jail on drug and firearm posession charges. His character on 'The Wire' was that of an ex-addict and a wise, empathic NA sponsor. He was charismatic in the role and most convincing. His unique presence and appearance inspired this portrait which was used as a self-promotional piece.
Townes VanZant's "Waiting Around To Die" is a masterpiece of high lonesome. And nobody should roam this earth without having heard "Quicksilver Dreams Of Maria" at least once.
"The Devil's Right Hand" By Mr Earle is a catchy yet scathing indictment of gun violence although Earle insists it's 'just a folk song'. The barrelhouse piano and raucous atmosphere of "Snake Oil" belies the song's underlying condemnation of 'politics as usual'; it suceeds admirably on both levels.
Fate Favors The Fearless
If you are an Illustrator or a regular reader of this blog, you are undoubtedly aware of SooJin Buzelli and the high regard in which she's held by those of us in the picture-drawing industry. If, in fact, you can comfortably call it an 'industry'. Whatever- the point is that Mrs Buzelli is a joy to work with; she uses illustration to great effect and seems to place a great deal of trust in the artists that she hires. As a result the artwork showcased within the pages of the magazines she art directs is generally head and shoulders above that seen in similar titles.
SooJin recently hired me to illustrate and article entitled "Investors Not Afraid". Her brief went something like this: 'Investors are not afraid; bullish".
No, it's not a razor-toothed pig. As Dr Freud said, Sometimes sketches are just that: sketches.
I honed in on that simple phrase-'not afraid'. Soojin in her wisdom eschews traditional 'biz mag' images of men in suits, dollar signs, and computers; one is encouraged to interpret the article's focus and produce a novel image..
I thought the sketches that depicted sharks were the likely choices, but SooJin chose the bullrider with the caveat that I change his clothing to less resemble a prisoner. Fair enough; I really hadn't even considered why I drew the rider in striped PJ's in the first place, just one of those things that...happen, i guess.
I enjoyed making this image and think it suits the article, but I was still surprised that this solution was given preference to the shark concept which I thought quite clever. Surprised, that is, until I saw this.
Great minds think alike, but in this case the great mind of Shout thought of it long before I did.
I'm Never Gonna Die Again
The last decade, as heartless and hungry as it was, couldn't see fit to exit quietly and without one last swipe at humanity. And so we lose another true original. As we are granted so few in our lifetimes the loss is keenly felt.

General Pest Control - Crickets/Spiders
I live in Oklahoma and was looking for a good pesticide to spray on the exterior of the house that would keep most crickets and spiders from coming inside the house.
I have read about Cypermethrin @ 25.4% concentration. (Viper Insect Concentrate)
I noticed the Demon WP Insecticide or even the Cyper WP has Cypermethrin @ 40% concentration. But, it does leave a white residue that is noticeable on darker surfaces as it is a wettable powder.
Is there something stronger or better out there?
Would I need a non-corrosive spray tank Insect spray?
I have heard that the pros use granules as well. What is a good product?
Do these granules have an adverse reaction to burmuda grass?
Please advise.
I have looked at Lambda-cyhalothrin and Cypermethrin (LIQUID AND SPRAYABLE POWDER).

Central Montcalm Public School approves new hires
STANTON — New Central Montcalm Public School Superintendent Chuck Muncatchy sat in on his first school board meeting Wednesday night and watched as the board approved hiring a new high school principal, six new teachers and an athletic trainer to help the district be ready for the influx of students at the start of the new school year.
The board agreed, in a 5-0 vote, to hire Charles "Marty" James as the new high school principal.
"Marty brings a lot of enthusiasm and communication skills to our team," said Muncatchy, who was on his eighth day on the job. "I am happy to make this recommendation to the board."
Athletic Director John Kearney introduced to the board the district's new athletic trainer, Katelyn Saunders, hired through a partnership with Spectrum Health.
Susan Koster, principal of the Upper Elementary, introduced to the board Beth Clingenpeel, who will be teaching fifth grade and Jennifer Dankert, a new second grade teacher.
James introduced new high school teacher Chelsea Stech, a special education and English/language arts teacher.
New Central Montcalm Elementary School Principal Roberta Wittkopp introduced Kasie Adams, a new first grade teacher; Nicole Long, also a first grade teacher, and Kathleen Stein, a part-time music teacher.
The five board members also agreed to enter into a contract with Coca-Cola, switching from previously selling Pepsi products. Muncatchy explained that contracts come up about every five years, and the contract with Pepsi was up. After making inquiries, he learned that not only would there be more financial benefits to the district through incentives offered by Coke, but also that customer service was lacking in Pepsi vendors.
"Does that mean we will also sell Coke products in the concession stands?" asked Treasurer Mike Barnwell.
Vice President Todd Giles agreed that Mountain Dew (a Pepsi product) was the top seller in those venues.
Kearney explained that the Sports Boosters would receive one free case of water for every seven cases of Coca-Cola beverages sold, and agreed the Pepsi vendors were difficult to work with.
"We will definitely see some different kinds of beverages in the vending machines, " said Amy Meinhardt, who served as interim superintendent prior to Muncatchy's hiring. "They are up on all the laws and will have the correct diet sodas, sports drinks and milks."
The board also agreed to have a special meeting at 5:30 p.m. Aug. 27 in connection with a tentative agreement with the MESPA, and another special meeting at 5 p.m. Sept. 10 in connection with goal setting for the district.

Tracking weekend rain chances for central Indiana
Here is the latest timing on Saturday rain chances with FutureTrak13. The band of rain will start to fall apart as it moves into western Indiana early Saturday morning. There will be more clouds than sun, but there should only be a few spotty areas of rain on Saturday. There is a better chance for showers and storms on Sunday.

simultaneous equations - eliminating variables and solving
Hi, I am a postgrad student and completely new to mathematica, I am just starting to realise the possibilities.
I am trying to do a chemical speciation calculation.
I have a set of simultaneous equations which represents the equilibria, mass balance, and charge balance in the system.
I want to eliminate some of the variables, and then be able to solve for the remaining ones.
My system of equations looks like this:
This is what my formula looks like sofar.
Solve[{a == b + c + d, e == f + g + c + 2 d, h == c/(b*g),
i == d/(c*g), h*i == d/(b*g^2), j == m*g/f, k == l*m,
n + m + b + c == g + l}, {g}]
Basically, I can solve for the variable I want, but I am having trouble eliminating the ones I don't want (ie. I am getting an answer that is in terms of the wrong variables)
I have been in the help files for ages, and don't really understand how to do this.
I would really appreciate some pointers!!

I also have a 2.5 year old curlie.. I find it hard trying to see if her hair likes moisture or protein as she's always rubbing her head on the couches or on the bed, it gets dry and frizzy easily no matter how much sealing I do.. ..
Atm she has a moisture/protein leave in with Shea butter and coconut oil mix sealant.. but I haven't tried gel before on her hair.. do you think it makes a difference? Mine sleeps on a mulberry silk pillowcase too but wakes up looking like krusty the clown .. do I need to do a night spritz before she goes to bed?? And what about 2nd and 3rd day hair? Do I need to do a spritz or another leave in routine??

Big Eighth Inning Propels Aberdeen to Win
By Paul Taylor / Aberdeen IronBirds | August 15, 2013 8:22 PM ET
Aberdeen, MD- The Aberdeen IronBirds completed a two game sweep of the Staten Island Yankees, winning 10-6 in a wild, back and forth affair.
Staten Island got on the board in the top of the second inning. Mike O'Neill was hit by a pitch from Janser Severino. He stole second base and scored three batters later on a Mike Ford RBI single, making it 1-0 Yankees.
Aberdeen would not let the lead last long. In the bottom of the second, Hector Veloz, Jared Breen, and Pedro Perez led off with consecutive singles to load the bases. Sam Kimmel then roped an RBI double down the right field line, scoring both Veloz and Breen, making it 2-1 IronBirds.
In a back and forth affair, the Yankees scored again in the third. After a Derek Toadvine walk and an Abital Avelino single, Eric Jagielo hit an RBI double, scoring Toadvine and moving Avelino up to third. Avelino would score when the next batter, Yeicok Calderon, would hit a sac fly to left, giving Staten Island a 3-2 lead after two and a half.
In the bottom of the third, Aberdeen sent eight batters to the plate and retook the lead. Conor Bierfeldt led off with a double, and Austin Wynns followed with a single. After a Yankees pitching change, Jeff Kemp was hit by a pitch to load the bases. Veloz then came up and hit an RBI groundout, good enough to score Bierfeldt from third. Wynns advanced to third and then scored on a passed ball with Jared Breen at the plate. Breen wasn't done, however, as he hit a bloop single to right and it scored Kemp, making the score 5-3 in favor of the host IronBirds.
Staten Island tied the game up in the fourth on three consecutive singles. Toadvine came up with the bases loaded and hit a ground out back to the pitcher Severino, but it scored Bubba Jones from third. Mike Ford then scored on a passed ball, tying the game at five.
The Yankees took the lead again in the sixth. After a leadoff walk to Toadvine, Jagielo slammed a ball into deep left field, scoring Toadvine from second.
Aberdeen tied the game up again in the bottom of the sixth. With the bases loaded and one out, Wynns hit a sac fly to right, scoring Kimmel from third, making it 6-6.
Aberdeen would finally break away in the eighth. They batted around and scored four runs, all without recording a hit. There were three walks, a hit batter, an error, and a sac fly, putting the IronBirds in front for good by a score of 10-6.
Alex Santana gets hit first win of the season, after pitching 3.1 innings of relief.
Aberdeen improves to 28-24 and opens up a two game lead in the McNamara Division.

Real quick question on tires....
Ok.....I decided on Firestone Destination MT's (285/75R16)
They are comin in on Monday but I saw some Mickey Thompson's today and loved em. Which would you go with?
1) Firestone Destination MT
2) Mickey Thompson Baja Claw Radial
3) Mickey Thompson MTZ
I don't go offroad very much but like the aggressive look. Tread wear is an important factor
the cheapest...
I just bought some 30x9.5x15 firestone destination m/t's.. and ill have to say they are hands down the best tire i have bought.. really aggressive for daily driving.. but i dont mind.. wont let u get stuck in the mud even if u stopped in it.. i got all 5 for 585$. i get some humming at 45ish.. and then when i am breaking... But awesome all around... Hope that helps a little..
I have 33x12.50x15 firestone destination MTs and have 8000 miles on them tread depth wear is ok but starting to see a little cupping and have rotated x2 but compaired to my interco trxus the firestones are great but if you are looking for longevity none of the ones you selected are going to give 50 or 60k IMO.
pro comp xterrain's I have over 10,000 miles on mine and still over half tread still left
or some bfg mts I had 30'000 an the ones on the truck
well since its mostly a mall crawler just put some 20's on it:flipoff:
Im teasing:D
I donno about the Claws but MTZ's have seen 30-45k with mild trail usage and regular rotation.
2 or 3
My Claws chunked up pretty bad after that last trip I took. I'm not certain I'd buy them again.
Thanks for the quick replies.....I will get some pics up this week.
I really liked my BFG All Terrains. Wore really well on road and performed GREAT off road. Also there was no tire noise with them whatsoever.
I would go with the Claws have had the on my Jeep for over a year and would not get anything different

What happens for a second offense driving on suspended license?
Question Details:
First time was 2 years ago.
Get Help with a Suspended License Charge from a FL Lawyer. Many people who are pulled over and charged with driving on a suspended license had no idea that their license was under suspension. You may never have received a notification of suspension if you moved, or if the traffic incidence causing the suspension occurred out state. Or you may not have understood the terms and duration of a suspension. But it's happened to you, and suddenly you are facing a criminal charge. So what do you do next? It almost always is in your best interest to fight the charges. You do not want to have a permanent criminal record for a minor traffic violation or a paperwork mistake, and you do not deserve one. Do not plead guilty, and do not make any statements that you were aware of the suspension to the police, court officers, or anyone. Remain silent!Please call and speak to our attorneys to find out what you can do to protect your freedom to drive and keep your record clean. Can I Beat My FL Suspended License Charge? Yes, absolutely. The most common defense is that you did not know that your license was under suspension. We may have to establish lack of notification with evidence that you have moved, or other information, but this is generally the way to win.If we can convince the judge that you were not aware of the suspended license, then under Florida traffic laws, they must reduce the charge to a non-criminal traffic violation. Florida Driving on Suspended License - Penalties and LawsIf you are found guilty of operating a motor vehicle while your license is under suspension, you will be convicted of a second degree misdemeanor penalty under Florida criminal law. A 2nd degree misdemeanor carries a maximum sentence of 60 days in jail and a $500 fine.A second offense suspended license charge is a first degree misdemeanor (up to 1 year and $1000 fine. A third or subsequent offense driving on a suspended license charge is a third degree felony, which brings the maximum penalty up to 5 years in prison and $5000 in fines.Additional license suspension periods will also likely be added to any conviction. The prosecutor needs to prove that you were aware of the suspension to convict you. Evidence could be statements that you've made, proof that you received the notification, or a prior conviction is also sufficient proof that you were aware that your driver's license was under suspension. Penalties for driving on a revoked license are even more harsh.

ACA -- Don't worry, we've got you covered -- Selling fear instead of facts -- Picking up the check -- Taking on cost control -- Keeping seniors safe and sound -- Good things on the horizon.
| "Health Care Reform: What It Is, Why It's Necessary, How It Works is a deeply informed, opinionated, immediately accessible explanation of why health care reform is essential, why the legislation Congress passed is our best bet for solving the problem, and why it would be disastrous if we revoked it. Poll after poll shows that the majority of Americans are against health care reform. Polls also show that the majority of American's simply do not understand what is at stake, how reform works, and what its immediate and long-term consequences will be. Health Care Reform explains the stakes, means, and consequences with the immediacy of comics and the authority that only Jonathan Gruber can bring. And with Nathan Schreibers' illustrations using a visual style reminiscent of the political cartoons of Thomas Nash and Walt Kelly, the book will leave no one in doubt: Americans can no longer afford to be ignorant of the facts. Few experts know more about America's dire need of health care reform than Gruber. And of that short list, he is the only one prepared to enter the pages of a comic book to make the case. To be clear: Gruber is not an expert; he is the expert. An award-winning MIT economist and the director of the Health Care Program at the National Bureau of Economic Research, he was a key architect of the ambitious health care reform effort in Massachusetts and is a member of the Health Connector Board now implementing it; in 2006 he was named by Modern Healthcare as the nineteenth most powerful person in health care in the United States. In 2008 he was a consultant to the Clinton, Edwards, and Obama presidential campaigns. The national legislation passed by Congress in 2009 derives directly from Grubers' insights learned during the Massachusetts health care debate"--Provided by publisher.

super love this one.
I really like this version. Well done.
God bless the Dutch
very minimalistic.. but nice..
love it
I wanna ride...
Such a beautiful photograph! It reminds me of when I went Amsterdam, really really cool
Sic transit gloria mundi ...
looks nice
These are the kinda of photos I'm talking about when I talk about balance and lighting and that empty yet timeless feeling that makes monotone photography so great. I'm not a photographer but I can really appreciate a good shot. I love this piece. It just has everything I would look for in a photo I'd consider putting in my wall
Lovely shot
...so awesome.
I love the contrast. The fading of the trees in the background to the middle really helps put focus on the foreground, I just love it so much. The fogginess of it, the soft edges... awesome composition
wonderful--nature and simple technology. The bicycles seem to be in-love, like the trees looking at each other, admiring one another. lovely.

Wonderful..so dreamy
I think one of the wonders of still life photography is the fact that you can take any normal, everyday thing and make an impressive and interesting piece.
this is such a stunning photograph, so well captured!
Something about how the trees are fading and the white mist makes the photo look surreal. I love it!
black and white but not boring, great work
I like the stillness implied in this photo. It looks so peaceful
black/white... formidable...

Computer World –
Microsoft Corp.'s systems have been subjected to a roller-coaster ride of outside attacks since last fall, with yesterday's denial-of-service assault against its Web sites following two earlier hacking incidents. That's prompting some analysts to suggest that the software vendor needs to take a closer look at its security practices.
Eric Hemmendinger, an analyst at Aberdeen Group Inc. in Boston, said Microsoft has also been hit by some "plain old bad luck." That appears to have been the case earlier this week, when the company blamed a Web site outage that started late Tuesday and continued until Wednesday night on a "mistaken configuration change" made to the routers on its domain name system (DNS) network.
But the denial-of-service attack that struck Microsoft's Web sites yesterday adds fuel to the argument that the company needs to spend more time looking at its overall online presence, Hemmendinger said. "Security has probably not been given enough priority [by Microsoft] at this point," he said. "I would have to call into question whether they've paid enough attention there."
Some of Microsoft's Web sites again appeared to be experiencing intermittent performance problems today. Company officials didn't return calls this afternoon seeking comment on the current status of the sites.
Hemmendinger noted that denial-of-service attacks, in which servers are flooded with so many information requests that they either crash or stop responding, can't be prevented with existing technologies. "In their defense, it's really hard to defend against [such an attack]," he said.
Microsoft is also an intriguing target for attackers because of its size and influence, Hemmendinger added. But the bottom line, he said, is that Microsoft's systems "are probably an easier target than they need to be because they themselves haven't internally taken the issue seriously enough."
Ric Steinberger, a technical director at online security information provider SecurityPortal Inc. in Mount Vernon, Wash., said the recent problems should force Microsoft's IT managers to look at the robustness of the company's entire network architecture with a very critical eye. "They need to demonstrate that they understand the Internet infrastructure more than they have in the last couple days," Steinberger said.
In particular, Microsoft has faced questions for having all four of its DNS servers located at the same physical site on a single network. That leaves it without any external back-up servers if problems arise on that network -- a setup that some observers said is fraught with danger.
This week's outages follow an incident last fall in which Microsoft disclosed that its internal computer network was hacked by intruders who were able to view the source code for an unspecified future product. And two months ago, a Dutch hacker penetrated one of Microsoft's Web servers on two separate occasions after the company failed to plug a known security hole in its Web server software.
Microsoft spokesman Adam Sohn today defended the company's network and its Web security, saying that officials at the software vendor "take the security of our Web [sites] very seriously." Microsoft has "a very competent [security] team," he added. "They know what to do and they do it."
However, Sohn said Microsoft plans to carefully review the recent outages and make changes if needed in order to "insulate customers" from any similar future problems. "In general, security is a journey, not a destination, and we know that," he said. "We're always looking to make changes to raise that bar."
Pete Lindstrom, an analyst at Hurwitz Group Inc. in Framingham, Mass., said yesterday's attack shouldn't necessarily be held up as evidence of a security shortfall at Microsoft because of the difficulty of preventing denial-of-service assaults or stopping them once they've been launched.
And while some users said yesterday that this week's Web-site outages made it hard for them to get important technical support information, Lindstrom said he doubts the back-to-back problems will have much of a lasting impact on Microsoft from a customer relations standpoint.
Some users did experience "lost time and productivity," he said. "But are people going to stop buying Microsoft products? I doubt it. Are they going to stop going [to its Web sites]? Maybe."

March 1, 2012
Saturday's contest between UAB and Florida State will be the first-ever collegiate sand volleyball match played anywhere as an NCAA-sanctioned emerging sport.
With UAB's inaugural sand volleyball season beginning this weekend, head coach Hal Messersmith sat down with uabsports.com to discuss his team, the upcoming season and the development of sand volleyball as a collegiate sport.
The Blazers will open at home this Saturday with a 1 p.m. match against Florida State. The team's brand new sand facility is located right next to West Campus Field -- the home of the UAB soccer teams -- on 11th Street South.
Messersmith, a veteran of the coaching profession, serves as the director of volleyball operations for UAB's indoor volleyball team, and he is just one of many familiar faces fans will see when they go out to Saturday's match.
The Blazers' sand volleyball roster is composed of the same players who make up UAB's indoor team in the fall. But, as Messersmith explains, the game fans will see won't be quite the same ...
Q. What are the biggest differences between sand volleyball and the indoor game?
A. "In sand we only have two people on each side of the court; indoor we have six. That means in sand you touch the ball a lot more than you do indoors, and it's a lot more of a control game. Indoor is a lot more power and speed."
Q. Is there a major adjustment from playing indoors to playing in the sand?
A. "Some people think there is a big adjustment. I don't think there's that big an adjustment. The surface and the elements, the wind, the rain and the sun, change things a lot. It slows down the game. It also means there's much more ball control needed outdoors than you have to have indoors, and you don't have as many specialty players like middles. You have to be able to both pass and hit and do the things you need to do as an all-around player in the sand."
Q. What can fans expect when they come out to see a match?
A. "Since it's an outdoor game, I think that we'll try to create more of a `party'-type atmosphere. If it's a beautiful day, we'll have a lot of fans out there, maybe more than we have for indoor at the present time. The biggest thing is that it's relaxed and fun."
Q. What are the benefits of adding a sand volleyball program?
A. "It helps in your recruiting both indoor and outdoor, and it allows the girls to have a place to try to play professionally when they're done. There are a lot more professional leagues in sand volleyball than there are in indoor volleyball. You have to go overseas to be a professional in indoor volleyball. The biggest thing, though, is that it allows your volleyball team to train all year long and to recruit people from coast to coast, and just gives girls more opportunity to play."
Q. How quickly is collegiate sand volleyball gaining popularity?
A. "It's the first year they've had it as far as an NCAA-sanctioned sport, and it's definitely gaining popularity really fast because they've got a lot of schools that are adding the sport. There are 16 this year, and they expect to have double that next year and on down the line. "
Q. How do you see the sport developing over the next five to 10 years?
A. "There are 16 teams right now. Next year I think they said there will be another 16, if not more. In the future, I think everybody will have sand volleyball if they want to have a good overall volleyball program. The reason being that right now we're having more and more players transferring away from the big programs and going to schools that have sand volleyball. All of those programs are going to fall in line eventually.
"I think the sport is going to be huge. Only one state now has high school sand volleyball and that's Arizona. The rest of the states, I don't know how quickly they'll add high school sand volleyball, but if I read correctly, there are 300,000 girls participating in sand volleyball all across the country in club sports. Programs like ours give them a chance to go play in college."
Q. How have the players already in the volleyball program taken to the idea of playing on the sand team?
A. "Our girls love it. They want to be out here every day. Our school built us such a beautiful facility, they are excited to be out here."
Q. How much of an impact has Olympic beach volleyball had on the growth of the sport?
A. "There's no doubt in my mind that the United States men and women winning gold medals in the Olympics the last few times has made an impact. The television popularity of that sport in the Olympics has been almost beating everybody. That has really upped the young ladies trying to be sand players."
Q. What is it like to be able to lay the foundation for a sport in its first year?
A. "It's a great opportunity. Our biggest thing is that we want indoor and outdoor. We're trying to keep our kids happy and we're trying to get the best volleyball players we can to come to UAB."
Q. What will this year's schedule look like?
A. "Most of our matches are going to be duals this year. We only play one open tournament and that is hosted by North Florida in Jacksonville. In duals, you have five two-on-two matches, and whoever wins three wins the match, much like college tennis. The open tournaments will be just the pairs and they'll go through a tournament format to see who wins."

Many musical enthusiasts, classical and pop, would agree with that statement. So would those technical experts who claim that the conversion of a digital signal into the ones and zeros of digital code involves a perceptible loss of quality. None of this will worry the iPod generation for whom the joys of downloading digital tracks from the internet and playing them anywhere they want more than offsets any loss of quality that people from a former age can discern.
Mr Daltrey is out of touch, however, if he thinks he would need to be a billionaire to build a factory making vinyl records. In fact he could buy the entire industry many times over for that. Britain is down to its last dozen or so factories. But his timing is shrewd. Vinyl records, far from being confined to some retro museum, have been enjoying a renaissance, albeit from a low base. Sales of seven-inch vinyls increased by 87% between April and June to 288,780 compared with the same period last year, buoyed up by interest in indie and rock bands, and from disc-scratching DJs.
One feature of vinyl often forgotten was that it was easy to tape copies without the music industry getting angry as it does with digital downloads. Companies such as HMV are now selling downloads at affordable prices and people are buying them in vast quantities. The rebirth of vinyl may not prove anything at all - except that, as with Mr Daltrey, you cannot keep a good rocker down.

differentiate y = (x + 2) / (x^3 + x - 2)
Neither. You know that lines are parallel if they have the same slope, and perp, if the slope is the negative inverse. The slope is the inverse, but it is still positive. So neither.
I said it in the reverse order. I'm sorry for the confusion. You SHOULD divide (3 1/2)/(4 3/8), not (4 3/8)/(3 1/2).
Your error is that you keep trying to divide (3 1/2)/(4 3/8). When you should do it the other way. (4 3/8)/(3 1/2) You should get 4/5.
pre algebra
First-Distribute: 8(n-1)= 8xn-8(1)= 8n-8. Now, subtract 10n so you have -2n-8

Ray Hutchison, GOP Leader, Husband of U.S. Senator, Dies at 81
Ray Hutchison, Texas' always upbeat 'Mister Republican' who was best known for his unflagging support of the political ambitions of his wife, U.S. Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison, has died at the age of 81, 1200 WOAI news reports.
Hutchison was a former member of the Texas House of Representatives and Chairman of the State Republican Party, where he helped put the party on course to the dominance it holds today.
"Ray Hutchison was a tremendous champion and defender of conservative values," Attorney General Greg Abbott said. "Ray impressed upon so many others what it means to be a leader."
Hutchison was best known as a behind the scenes player at the power law firm of Bracewell & Giuliani, where he helped handing the bonding for some of the largest projects ever built in north Texas, from D/FW International Airport. In fact, Hutchison was so instrumental in getting the big airport in Grapevine built that there was a suggestion to name it for him.
Hutchison was an established state lawmaker and candidate for governor in 1978 when he met a young legislator named Kathryn Ann Bailey, who turned to politics after managing a failed bank. She credits him for getting her involved in politics and supporting her run for State Treasurer in 1990, a run which is credited with helping nudge the Republican landslide which happened later that decade.
Hutchison had two children when he married the future U.S. Senator, and they adopted two children as a couple.
Many Texas reporters remember Hutchison as a constant presence in Republican Party events, and always excited about boosting his wife's career.
