Page 3 of 4
The Montana Legislature's history with DUI is long and well documented, indicating that even elected officials aren't above the pervasive culture of alcohol abuse. Shockley is far from the first to get popped; former Kalispell Sen. Greg Barkus made headlines in August 2009 for his role in a drunken boating accident on Flathead Lake. Barkus, whose BAC registered nearly twice the legal limit of 0.08, crashed a speedboat into the rocks along the lake's shoreline after attending a party at a Lakeside restaurant. All five passengers, including U.S. Rep. Denny Rehberg, were injured. Rehberg staffer Dustin Frost remained in a coma at Kalispell Regional Medical Center for 10 days.
Two years prior to Barkus' storied accident, Sen. Scott Boggio, R-Red Lodge, was arrested for DUI in Helena in the midst of the 2007 legislative session. Boggio's BAC registered at 0.14 percent, and his passenger at the time—Rep. Elsie Arntzen, R-Billings—was a member of the Yellowstone County DUI Task Force. They'd borrowed the vehicle from a third legislator, Rep. Harry Klock, R-Harlowton.
Perhaps the most troubling DUI tragedy to come out of the Legislature in the past decade occurred in August 2001 when Shane Hedges, former policy director for Gov. Judy Martz, killed House Majority Leader Paul Sliter, R-Somers, in a late-night car crash outside Helena. Medical records from the Montana Department of Justice reveal Hedges had been driving with a BAC of 0.15 percent, and Sliter's BAC was posthumously recorded at 0.16 percent. Witness testimony later indicated the two had spent the evening drinking at Marysville House, a steak restaurant 25 miles from Helena.
Sliter's death generated a nationwide media storm unlike Montana's more recent Legislature-related DUI cases. Articles in The New York Times and The Denver Post linked Martz to a suspected cover-up, and Martz admitted months later that she had washed Hedges' bloody clothes when he arrived at the governor's residence immediately after the accident. She claimed she had no idea until days later that the clothes were evidence. Police reports even cite possible evidence tampering at the crime scene involving a number of beer cans and bottles.
Even Missoula's local government officials have something of a tarnished record. In late February 2010, local police arrested City Councilwoman Pam Walzer, a Democrat from Ward 2, for driving with a BAC of 0.08. Walzer's DUI came at the most inopportune time, as the council had only recently begun discussing stricter DUI laws including a fine for refusing a breathalyzer (Walzer voluntarily submitted to a breath test when pulled over). She refused to step down from her position, instead apologizing and vowing to continue her work for the city.
The incident goes to show just how pervasive the DUI problem in Montana has become.
"A lot of folks still think the roads are theirs and they can do anything they want," says Missoula County Sheriff Carl Ibsen. "'By God, this is our drinking state.' So I think we may have a bit more of a percentage-wise difficulty with it than other areas...I would speculate that well over half, maybe as much as three quarters, of what we do as cops has some relationship to drinking—obviously drinking and driving, a lot of our wrecks. It's pretty rare you go to problems at bars where they haven't been drinking, pretty rare you go to family beefs where they haven't been drinking."
Tragic DUI stories hit close to home in Missoula County—far away from the buzz of the session. Officials have long recognized the need for a harder approach to drunk driving. Spurred by personal experience, locals have dedicated themselves to a daily battle against alcohol abuse on our roads.
Ibsen, a 39-year veteran of law enforcement in Missoula, campaigned hard for sheriff last year on the premise of taking a stronger stand against DUI. A Montana arrest record is now tacked above his desk in the county courthouse, a personal reminder of why he's focused his office's efforts on drinking and driving. The man pictured is David James Bugni, a Butte resident arrested in September 2009 for causing a fatal car wreck on Interstate 90 while under the influence of alcohol. The woman Bugni later pleaded guilty to killing was Judy Wang, Ibsen's wife and an influential Missoula city prosecutor. The loss, Ibsen says, has made DUI enforcement a significantly more personal matter.
"Up until that time, I thought that I understood the feelings of the victims' families and the victims," Ibsen says. "All of a sudden we find we aren't immune and our families aren't immune, because it puts a real picture on it...It puts a more personal face on it, it really does."
Ibsen doesn't mask the fact that he feels Montana's laws are inadequate. Moreover, he's heard directly from felony DUI offenders that the current penalties don't do enough to prevent drunk drivers from developing a pattern of behavior. Members of the state's six-month Warm Springs Addictions Treatment and Change (WATCh) Program have told Ibsen that had they faced more stringent punishments on their first DUI, they might not have reached their third, fourth or fifth conviction. That's why Ibsen supports legislative attempts like Hansen's that seek to curb drunk driving early on; a binder on his windowsill contains copies of scores of bills from the session, complete with status notes he updates as often as possible. But the lengthier jail-times and alternative treatment options now being discussed aren't going to solve the problem on their own, Ibsen says.
"Somewhere along the line society has to figure out a way to collectively say, 'You as the drunk driver, you are a pariah,'" Ibsen says. "How many times when you were a teenager did you know friends who went out, got hammer drunk, got home and called you in the morning to say, 'God dang, I got so drunk last night. I don't even remember how I got home'? And everybody laughs and jokes about it because they made it home. We need society to get to a point where when your buddy calls you and says that, you say, 'You dirty, rotten SOB. How could you do that?' And basically shun them."

Okay so I have been searching for a good hour on how to update or add words to my iPhone's dictionary and I haven't really come up with anything. Most of what I found is stuff from a year or 2 ago and it doesn't work anymore. The other method of typing into Safari and then into Notes isn't really what I am looking for either. If it turns out that is what I have to do then fine but I am just looking for a solution that will allow me add words so that my phone doesn't try to autocorrect or underline words that I don't want it to.
On my quest I did find a keyboard directory I can access through iFile but I'm not entirely sure that what I want. I saw a word in there that I added through the Safari method and it still underlines it.

Freeport's Clawson takes aim at WPIAL golf title
When she's not at the golf course playing in matches or tournaments, Audrey Clawson can be found in a field behind her house hitting short pitches and chip shots.
"I like to chip balls with my 54-degree wedge into a bucket," said Clawson, a sophomore at Freeport.
So call winning a WPIAL championship an item on Clawson's bucket list.
She will compete in the Class AA tournament Monday at Hill Crest Country Club in Lower Burrell, where she shot a 2-under-par 33 during a match earlier this season.
If she can score better than 17 others, she'll become her school's first golf champion.
Hill Crest seems like the perfect venue for a breakthrough.
"When I play a course, I either love it or hate it," said Clawson, who plays on the Freeport boys team. "Hill Crest I loved from the beginning when I played a practice round there. I like the layout and the greens rolled perfect for me."
Clawson is the only Alle-Kiski area player in the championship. She took fourth last season when she shot 87 at 3 Lakes Golf Course.
Routinely Freeport's top scorer this season, Clawson has to be considered one of the favorites. Defending champion Gillian Alexander, a junior from Jefferson-Morgan, is in the field, along with Central Valley senior Macky Fouse, a Seton Hall recruit.
Chipping and putting could be what guides Clawson to success.
"This year, her short game has become much more efficient," Freeport coach Joe Sprumont said. "She has been able to knock a couple shots off her average probably just around and on the greens.
"Her mental approach and ability to stay in the moment and focus on the next shot, under any circumstance, is as good as any golfer of any age that I've ever been around."
Clawson shot 6-over 80 to win the Section 1-AA qualifying tournament at Latrobe Elks. Her round started rocky as she was 6-over after four holes, but she steadied things with five birdies down the stretch.
"I don't want to get too confident because it's golf and I know anything can happen," Clawson said. "I want to tune up my putting and make sure I am hitting greens in regulation. I need to focus on the score I know I can shoot."
Clawson also will be seeking a return trip to the regional round of the postseason.
The top eight finishers in Class AA and top seven from Class AAA advance to the PIAA West Regional Tournament on Oct. 15 at Tom's Run Golf Course at Chestnut Ridge Resort.

Short Film: "From Darkness" by @Khingz
We arrived in California, rallied the troops, built the sets, and soon after we were ready for our first camera day. Michael Biehn who played Kyle Reese in the original Terminator movie came onboard to play Agent Doug Albright. Former WWE Superstar Al Snow dropped by to put me in a headlock and one of the producers from the hit television series "Eureka" came through to see what us crazy Canucks were up to. So if you've got a minute or ten, take a moment and watch "From Darkness" directed by Andrew C. Erin.

It is a common sight in America to see a couple cuddling their Chinese adopted child, but those scenes may not be so apparent in the coming years. Fewer Chinese children will be available for adoption by foreigners if the shift toward adoption by Chinese couples continues to grow. About 52,000 children were registered for adoption and foreigners adopted 12,000 but last year the number available to be adopted had declined to 46,000 and foreigner only adopted 10,000. Wang Suyng of the Ministry of Civil Affairs(MCA) notes: "the number of Chinese couples applying to adopt children has been substantial in recent years." Chinese officials working with orphaned children argue they are attempting to adhere to international standards which given preference to couples from the native land of the child.
Historically, Chinese couples preferred male babies but there appears to be a shift as more and more of those in the growing affluent class seem more interested in enjoying the experience of being a parent and less concerned if the child is a boy or girl. As Wang pointed out, "now more and more chinese people are adopting kids simply because they love children and are proud to become foster parents."
Most probably American couples seeking adoption will have to move on to other areas in the world.

There seems to be a common misconception that because the MR helmet was scanned from an original helmet, it is perfect and virtually identical to the original. Unfortunately we are not quite in the Star Trek age yet and while scanning technology is amazing, it is far from perfect. Likewise, while the MR helmet is extremely nice and I would encourage anyone to get one, it is NOT perfect and is NOT exactly like the original.
While every original Fett helmet is slightly different, they share many common features and are more or less the same. Some time ago, I had the privilege of comparing the MR helmet (scanned from the pp3) to a FIRST gen casting from the Preproduction 2 helmet. Below are comparisons of the two helmets, showing the similarities and differences. I think most of the comparisons are pretty good except the back shot in which the PP2 casting helmet was tilted too far back, making the brow band look odd.
The MR is a commercial helmet, readily available to the public while the PP2 casting helmet is not. This will probably make the MR seem better in the eyes of some, and I think from a costumer's standpoint, it IS the better helmet, but in terms of sheer accuracy, I think these pics clearly show that it is not perfectly accurate to an original. The PP2 casting helmet is a direct cast of an original helmet, and has all the original blemishes, warps, warbles and ugly spots that a real screen used prop has. You can see the dome is lumpy and uneven. The brow is warped. The aspects are very rough and asymmetrical. The MR on the other hand is based on an original, but to a degree, has been idealized. It is a gorgeous helmet with smooth surfaces and very clean, flowing lines. To me, it represents what the helmet should look like and does look like in our heads. Ones preference comes down to whether you like absolute accuracy, or idealized perfection. Neither is wrong, but I feel it IS wrong to use the term "screen accurate" interchangeably with terms that really mean you simply like the way a helmet looks.
Thanks to those who made these helmets available for me to compare and photograph. You know who you are.

Courts are government institutions that administer justice in criminal and civil matters. They're mediated by one or more judges, magistrates or justices who have been appointed or elected.
Courts rely on an adversarial system of justice, which is intended to resolve disputes with fair and impartial outcomes. Their primary purpose is to decide questions of law and determine facts. Attorneys for each side present arguments and introduce evidence to support their arguments.
In some court cases, the final judgment is handed down by a jury of citizens chosen through a selection process. In other cases, a judge makes the final ruling. Cases may be heard in criminal court, civil court, or appellate court.

I've continued to look at and research the Elkmont areas after hiking there with Barb, John and Mike G during this autumn season. The mountain Jedi had a feeling he had been here before (a long time ago)....maybe it was just the ghost coming out of me. So, I dig through some old photos and I find this one.
This was the cabin of Westley (West) Ogle who married Rachel Ownby (Lem Ownby's sister). One of those places that doesn't show up in deeds or on some of the topo maps for it was built on Lem Ownby's land. But, the fall hike-a-thon folks had been here. I had even sat down on a rock to take a break just about 30 yards from where the train engine is in this photo.
The house sat just across the creek. It's a place where you can ford the creek or use the Park foot-bridge. Then, about 20 more yards look to the right and find the home place.
I love when I figure out stuff like this and it makes my researching worth it.
West and Rachel (also spelled Rachael) Ogle. West was also a Park Ranger and this photo by Ella Smith is them in Elkmont. They had 11 children. West was born in 1889 and Rachel in 1893. West was the son of Ephraim Ogle (1850-1933) and Mary Ann Reagan (1851-1931). Rachel was the daughter of Thomas D. Ownby (1845-1930) and Sarah Watson (1851-1931) and her parents are buried on Jakes Creek at the Elkmont Cemetery.
The Lee Higdon chimney is still standing and Lee was married to Rachel and Lem's sister, Julie E. Ownby (6-16-1886 / 7-7-1963) and Lee (11-19-1883 / 4-21-1969).
Now, we start to understand the relationship of all these neighbors in Elkmont. At one time Elkmont was just two major family farms. The Ownby's in the upper ends and the Trentham's in the lower areas near the river.
Looking forward to more hiking in Elkmont.

MIke M, Thanks for the clarification. It is nice to know here everyone lived.
Curtis, you're getting a little confused. The standing chimney in Mike G picture below is the Hidgon place. House 407 is the one showing in my blog and is West Ogle's.
Mike G, Do you know who lived at 407?
Thanks for more pics and information about Elkmont! I look forward to doing more exploring up there! It is such a special place!
Mike G, is MM saying that the chimney in the picture is at 407
nice picture with the railroad cars loaded down with logs. where mike m has red line of "todays trail" to the left of the homestie in the pic is meigs mts trail and the upper "todays trail" is jakes creek trail. found that homesite years ago and now it has a name, thanks mike
Cool thanks!
Mike, no...it be number 407 on your map.

Once the final judgement has been ordered by the judge, how long does it take for the sheriff to process the writ of possession?
Question Details:
The judge has issued the motion for default and the final judgement. How long does it take for the Writ of Possession to be issued and the tenants to be removed from the property?
Generally speaking the processing of the writ can be done quite quickly. Once the final judgement is entered the clerk issues the Writ of Possession to the Sheriff describing the premises and commanding him or her to put the landlord in possession after 24 hours' notice to the tenant. Notice must be "conspicuously posted" on the premises. It is generally attached to the front door by some means. Once done and the 24 hours has run, then Sheriff can generally enter the property and remove the belongings on to the street (the law varies in each jurisdiction as to what must be done). Get some help with all of this if it is not too late. Good luck.

The Capitals held an optional skate Wednesday morning in Arlington as Coach Adam Oates opted to give his players recovery time before they play three games in the next four days.
Those who played last night but didn't take part in the practice were: Alex Ovechkin, Nicklas Backstrom, Mike Green, Mike Ribeiro, Troy Brouwer and Wojtek Wolski.
"The thought process is we've got a lot of hockey in a short span of time," Oates said. "Like we talked about last night, it's going to be a lot of skates for those guys a lot of minutes and trying to identify conditioning versus fatigue. We've got a game Sunday afternoon that's three games in four days with a practice in between. That's a lot of hockey. Not that it's necessarily the perfect formula, but it's one we're going with."
After practice, Oates said Michal Neuvirth will make his first start of the season Thursday night when the Capitals host Montreal at Verizon Center. There will be more on Neuvirth a little later in the day, so be sure to check back.
Brooks Laich (groin) did not take part in the skate despite Oates suggesting earlier in the week that the forward might be ready to participate. The Capitals are stressing patience with Laich's injury, Oates said.
"Making sure that when he comes out it's going to be not too far away," Oates said of Laich. "He wants to skate when he can continue to progress and be with us. We're just being very cautious with it."
Meantime, Jack Hillen who suffered an apparent shoulder injury in the season opener against Tampa Bay, skated alone for roughly 20 minutes before the rest of the group hit the ice. Oates said he "didn't really expect him to be back so soon", so it seems like a positive sign.

Have "Cops" Crew Members Ever Been Involved In Anything Like This Before?
Until last night's tragic accident in Omaha, I can't find a single instance of a "Cops" crew member being shot or killed during production of the program. Considering all the situations they've faced in the 25-year history of the show, that's remarkable.
That's not to say that crew members haven't gotten involved in the action. From Wikipedia:
In one episode, the sound mixer for the camera crew, a former EMT, assisted a police officer in performing CPR.
In another episode in season 11 that took place in 1998 in Atlanta, Cops camera operator Si Davis, who was coincidentally a Las Vegas Reserve Police Officer, had to drop the camera and assist an Atlanta police officer in wrestling a suspect into custody. The APD officer, it turned out, had been severely injured during a foot pursuit; meanwhile, sound mixer Steve Kiger, picked up the camera and continued recording the action which eventually made air. Because the camera crew was dressed in tactical gear, no one noticed that it was the camera operator in front of the camera.
In an episode of season 14 (2001–2002) during the arrest of a man after a car chase in Hillsborough County, Florida, the sound mixer held the sister of the man away from the deputy after she tried to intervene in the arrest of her brother. Also, during the first episode of Season 22, a Las Vegas officer was scuffling with a suspect high on PCP, who eventually tackled the officer and required the camera operator and Las Vegas paramedics to wrestle the suspect off of the officer.
In an episode of season 26 (2013-2014) first broadcast on February 1, 2014, during the arrest of a man in Sacramento, California for battery on his girlfriend, one of the camera crew had to pull one of the suspect's pit bulls away from one of the arresting officers. The dog was biting the officer on the leg after being commanded to do so by the suspect.

South Florida Targeted By Red Cross For Anti-Drowning Campaign
The South Florida area is targeted by the American Red Cross as the organization kicks off its big anti-drowning campaign.
Cynthia Gutierrez White with the local branch says the goal is to reduce drowning rates by 50 percent in 50 communities across South Florida.
The majority of Americans surveyed expect to participate in water-related activities this summer, but many will be in places with no lifeguard.
The Red Cross's survey also reveals just 2 percent of adults and only 20 percent of children will take swimming lessons this summer.
Thirty percent of non-swimming adults say fear still keeps them from learning to swim.
The Red Cross offers classes all over the South Florida area -- some of them are even free.
The organization is encouraging everyone to check out the schedules and take lessons in order to reduce the risk of drowning.
Visit the Red Cross website here, and enter your ZIP code to find the classes nearest you.

Wood floor padding silence underlayment insulayment
I live in an apartment built 5 feet high on stilts/telephone poles.
This is my subfloor, 3/4 inch plywood. It is severly warped because of uneven pressure from the supporting poles.
I am trying to make it level with a combination of shims and sheets of plywood like this, but with more shims than shown:
The floor should look like the part on the left when I am done and it should be fairly level:
I want to install solid hardwood floor from lumber liquid.
I want it to be quiet.
Which underlayment should I use? Dream home Insulayment?
Where should I sandwhich the underlayment for maximum silence? Between the shim layer and the final plywood sheets?
Should I use glue to fix the hardwood planks to the final layer of levelled plywood?

Trip Tips: Japan hotels offer tight space for a tight budget
By Junko Fujita
TOKYO (Reuters) - With Japan's tourist numbers and hotel prices on the rise thanks to a weaker yen, developers are getting creative with a new niche line in stylish but cheap accommodation in bunks, cabins and pods of all shapes and sizes.
Even a tiny double room in a hotel with limited service can set you back 30,000 yen ($240) a night in central Tokyo these days. But if you look a little more, you can bed down in comfort for a mere fraction of that.
Just 10 minutes' walk from Tokyo's famous Akihabara shopping district, an eight-storey white building called Grids stands among office and apartment blocks. The hotel, a conversion of a 34-year-old office building that opened in April, offers rooms from 3,300 yen to about 5,000 yen a person.
A bunk bed in a shared room is the cheapest option, and comes with slippers, a bath towel and a locker and key.
A 12 square-meter standard double with a shared shower and toilet costs just 3,600 yen a person. If you've come with family or friends, the top floor has a 28 square meter premium room with tatami mats on a raised floor where guests can lay out futons for four, costing about 5,000 yen per person.
"Converting an office building into a hotel is an ideal way to respond to the immediate needs for hotel rooms," said Yukari Sasaki, senior managing officer for Sankei Building Co, a property developer for Grids.
"Building a hotel from scratch costs too much money now because of high construction costs," she added.
It typically takes about three years to build a new hotel, while Sankei spent less than a year to open Grids once it started planning last summer. Continued...

...I'm interested in making my BBC look as retro and 50's-60's as possible. It's in my chopped and "Z-ed" '40 Chevy Sedan which I'm also trying to make as retro looking as I can. Having said all that, I'm considering a Hilborn or Inglese traditional styled EFI. I know they're pricey...I don't care. I just want "the look" of 50's-early 60's style fuel injection.I've also considered dual quads, but in each instance I've researched, I've either found dual quads to be lacking in low end torque (street tunnel ram) or actually a step down in power from a single 4 bbl carb (see Super Chevy Magazine's comparison of Edelbrock's Air Gap single and dual 4 bbl applications...the 4 bbl made more power). I've tried to find info on the new Barry Grant Twin Pro dual quad setup but he doesn't even have info about it on his own website. And there doesn't seem to be anything about it on the internet except a basic description of it. So, I don't know if it's any better than the other traditional dual quad setups. IMHO, dual quads is the only multiple carb setup that looks like it belongs on a BBC. To me, tri-power and other multiple carb setups just don't.I've considered a supercharger but I'd have to rebuild the bottom end for a super charger application. I don't want to spend that much money right now, having just rebuilt the engine a couple years ago.So that brings me back to vintage looking EFI. According to the Hilborn and Inglese websites I'll be spending anywhere from about $4000-$7000. The Inglese system costs the least but I'm not sure if they have a BBC system yet. That may leave the Hilborn or perhaps the very similar Kinsler system as the only choices. And at about $7000, they're the most expensive.Has anyone else out there gone through the same dilemma as me regarding vintage style EFI and a BBC? I will spend the money for it but I'd just like to know if there are any other, perhaps less expensive, options? Thank you for your comments.TomEdit/Delete Message
a possible alternative for you. how about an offy single plane dual quad manifold with two holley 950 cfm throttle body injectors above?

Maryrose Kristopik, Hero Music Teacher, Saved 15 Children During Connecticut School Shooting
A music teacher at the Connecticut elementary school where a gunman went on a Friday shooting rampage is being hailed as a hero after she saved 15 children by herding them in a closet and barricaded the classroom door as the shooter tried to get inside.
Sandy Hook Elementary School teacher Maryrose Kristopik is being lauded for her heroism after she saved 15 children from certain death by ushering them into a closet and barricading the door to her classroom as gunman Adam Lanza hammered on the door and repeatedly shouted "Let me in!"
"I want to thank her. She saved their lives," said one unnamed mother in her 40s whose 9-year-old son was saved by Kristopik's act of heroism.
But, she said, "now I have to explain to my 9-year-old that his friends won't be coming back. How am I supposed to do that?"
Mom Brenda Lebinski told the Daily Mail that Kristopik saved her 8-year-old daughter too.
"My daughter's teacher is a hero," Lebinski said. "She locked all the kids in a closet and that saved their lives."
Adam Lanza, 20, went on a shooting rampage at the Newtown, Connecticut elementary school where his mother worked this morning, killing her, the school principal and at least 20 children. Lanza, whose motive is not yet known, was reportedly killed by a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

What he did was not right and I think that it is a good thing that he is dead. I say that if he was still alive he should be killed, because who knows what he would do if he were allowed to live.

Fulham are closing in on a deal for Ghana midfielder Derek Boateng.
Sources close to the Ghana squad, currently training in Abu Dhabi ahead of the Africa Cup of Nations, suggest the 29-year-old has passed a medical and obtained a work permit for the Premier League.
Fulham manager Martin Jol came close to signing Boateng (above) last summer and must now agree a fee with Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk, who are thought to want around £2million for a player, who has made no secret of his disaffection with life in Ukraine. Boateng has also played for clubs in Greece, Crete, Israel, Germany and Spain.

For Release Sunday, January 6, 2013
© 2013 Washington Post Writers Group
In the midst of fierce winter storms, dire budget crises and a tragedy as deep and disturbing as Newtown, it's possible to discern at least one glimmer of positive news. It's new openness to drug law reform.
No, the United States isn't quite ready to abandon its concerted "war on drugs." It's "as vicious as ever," notes Tony Newman of the Drug Policy Alliance. More than 750,000 people a year are arrested for marijuana possession. More than 500,000 are behind bars for some type of drug law violation. No other nation on Earth even begins to equal these figures. The cumulative negative impact on human lives is nothing less than breathtaking.
Still, change is brewing. A first, dramatic finding was a Gallup Poll, released late in 2011, showing 50 percent of Americans now favor legalized marijuana use – up from 36 percent just six years ago.
But the top drug news of 2012 was the Election Day decision of voters in Colorado and Washington to legalize marijuana, not just for medicinal but for recreational sales and use.
The Obama administration could have spoiled the outcome by insisting on prosecuting marijuana sale and use in those states. Marijuana remains – preposterously – classified under the Federal Controlled Substances Act as a substance with high potential for abuse and no accepted medical application.
But President Obama, who's been mostly silent on drug issues, has made a clear decision. Asked about the Colorado and Washington referendums, he told ABC News' Barbara Walters: "We've got bigger fish to fry. It would not make sense for us to see a top priority as going after recreational users in states that have determined that it's legal."
That doesn't necessarily mean the administration – with a record of repeated crackdowns on the medical marijuana industry in California – might not still go after producers in Colorado and Washington.
But liberalization's time seems finally to have arrived. The cause just received its first truly powerful congressional boost. Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., wrote in December to the White House drug czar, Gil Kerlikowske, suggesting federal legislation might legalize up to an ounce of marijuana, at least in the states that permit it. Leahy also sought assurance that Colorado and Washington officials would not be prosecuted for implementing their new laws.
Leahy's move, including his suggestion of Senate hearings, is "really significant," a "shot fired across the bow" of standard "war on drugs" practice, suggests Drug Policy Alliance leader Ethan Nadelmann. Eighteen states have legalized medical marijuana use, Nadelmann notes, but before Leahy, not one of those states' 36 senators had spoken up to defend their own states' legalization laws.
Other key signs of new and open debate: endorsement of marijuana decriminalization both by Gov. Andrew Cuomo of New York, who has known presidential ambitions, and Chicago Mayor Rahm Emmanuel (a former Obama White House chief of staff).
Plus, two powerful new films may generate rising popular support for drug reform action.
Noted producer Eugene Jarecki's image-packed "The House I Live In" depicts America's drug war as little less than "a holocaust in slow motion." Wherever he went on a 25-state investigative journey, Jarecki wrote recently to The Nation magazine:
"Everyone involved – prisoners, cops, judges, jailers, wardens, medical experts, senators – all described to me a system out of control, a predatory monster that sustains itself on the mass incarceration of human beings. Their crimes, most often the nonviolent use or sale of drugs in petty quantities, have become such a warping fixation for our prison industrial complex that they are often punished more severely than violent crimes." (See the trailer online.)
Jarecki's film doesn't get into specific drug use reform possibilities. But the other new film, "Breaking the Taboo," does precisely that. Reviewing the horrors of the oppressive and often bloody drug wars in the United States and worldwide – from Colombia to Afghanistan to Mexico – the film raises the image of more peaceful solutions, legalization of marijuana and, for more serious drugs, individual counseling of addicts to help them reconstruct their lives rather than sentencing them to years or decades of incarceration.
Several ex-presidents of nations are featured in the film, lamenting drug war costs and suggesting humane alternatives – among them Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton of the United States, Fernando H. Cardoso of Brazil, and Ruth Dreifuss of Switzerland. There's an appearance by Colombia President Manuel Santos, whose nation has been ravaged by drug wars (with heavy U.S. support). Santos recently became the first sitting national leader to join the chorus to "break the taboo," insisting it's time to replace the futile "wars" against drugs and drug cartels, even to consider forms of drug legalization.

Isaiah Prince got as much of the red carpet treatment as is allowed on an unofficial visit when he came to Florida on Friday. After the trip was almost over, Prince was ready to say it was very worthwhile.
"It was a really great trip we got to spend some time with the coaches, got to see the campus, the players are really cool," Prince said on the outside of Ben Hill Griffin Stadium following the Friday Night Lights camp. "We got some great work in and see how it is. I can't imagine what it will be like on game day."
There were several reasons that led Prince to visit Florida and camp to show what he could do.
"The tradition… there have been some great players that have come through here (Florida)," he said. "I know there are some great coaches. It would e playing in the SEC. It is a great school and a great campus. I want to study Sports Management. Everything is close on campus. Everything is right by the stadium."
Florida has a new offensive line coach and the current players and the prospects that he has coached up at camp have raved about Summers. Add Prince to the list.
"I think he is a really good coach," Prince said about Summers. "I like the fact he doesn't yell and scream. If you make a mistake he pulls you to the side and coaches you up. Most coaches just pull you out or yell at you. He actually takes the time to correct your mistakes."
Florida is one of a quartet of schools that are at the top for Prince.
"Right now, the schools that stick out to me are Maryland, Alabama, Florida, and Ohio State," he said. "I will probably get more in the mix as I take more visits."
He does know a few official visits he will line up as well.
"I have to be here for a game," he said about The Swamp. "I will also get back to Bama and Ohio State."
Prince plans on making a decision after his senior year of football. He says there are a few things he is looking for when making that final choice.
"Building a great relationship with the coaches and the people that care about me other than the football part of it," he said. "I want to be a good education and the players (are important)."

Personal Letter From Ewen Chia
"The TRUTH About Making Real Money On The Internet"
You're probably interested in starting your own internet business and making money from the internet the right and genuine way. You know you need to do that quickly to earn an extra income from home in these troubled times.
However there're so many programs and systems online that often lead you to information overload and confusion.
There're also outright scams from "bad apples" in the industry that had led you to be disappointed. We can't stop them all unfortunately.
Question is - how do you manage?
If you're jaded and lost - I don't blame you. Don't even blame yourself. It's OK to be a beginner because no one becomes an expert overnight.
You should consider yourself a beginner if you're struggling or if you aren't making at least $1,000-$3,000 online every month. It doesn't matter the amount of knowledge you have, it's HOW you use it...
In this letter, I'm going to address that, and I'll show you how to start making real money online.
You may be asking me: why are you doing this?
You see, I know exactly how you feel...
I know how it feels like to be filled with so much hope only to be met with disappointments. I know how it feels like to be desperate because I've been through EXACTLY what you're probably going through right now.
My Personal Internet Business Dreams And Journey...
My own internet business dreams started in 1997 when I was just out of school and in a new job. Like many people, I was not from a rich family and needed money, and the internet seemed to be a 'way out'.
From 1997 to 2002, I got into almost every "get rich quick" opportunity you can think of. Each one seemed to be the answer, the one to make me successful. I was in downline clubs, MLMs and more....
None of them worked.
I didn't make a single dollar for the first 5 years, while spending up to 4 hours every single day from 10pm to 2am just learning and trying everything. I was working in a full-time job then and I can tell you it was both rough and tough.
My life and relationships with people around me were going downhill. Truth is, I had no life. Only sweat and tears from the struggles to make money from the internet. My best "friend" was the computer (it was more like an enemy though).
I've made millions of dollars online since then and made contacts that would never have been possible.
Making money online is about running a real business, and helping people in the process.
It's about understanding the fundamentals of the business, getting the skills required. I'll talk more about these below...
Here are the 5 biggest secrets I learned about making real money from the internet...
Secret #1 - Take Responsibility For Your Own Success
I mentioned earlier how I did "something" that changed everything...well, that "something" was simple...
I decided to finally become an adult and be responsible for my own success.
This was a HUGE turning point because it completely changed my mindset. Things started to "clicked" when I looked at it through a refreshed, responsible attitude. Prior to this I was blaming everyone and the programs I bought which didn't work.
Truth is, it wasn't the programs, it was ME.
I wasn't serious about taking action and working hard. Heck, I wasn't even serious about really wanting to succeed. I was looking to other people to make me successful but as we know, that just won't happen. Remember, "nothing happens until something happens".
You've got to take responsibility for your own success, do the necessary. Only then will things change.
Secret #2 - Recognize That There Are NO "Magic Pills"
As human beings, we are often looking for the laziest and easiest way out. That's perfectly normal. In reality however, there are no "magic pills" or "bullets", especially in the internet business.
Being guilty of this myself, it drowned me in futile searches for 5 long years. Success came when I realized that I needed to treat the internet business as a real BUSINESS. I started to make real money when I stopped looking for another magic pill. Ironic I know, but it's the truth.
Instead, when I chose to learn the correct internet business and marketing principles, the money started flowing in. I had an internet business and was applying internet marketing.
Secret #3 - Learn The Fundamentals And Basic Skills
This one is crucial - you've got to be equipped with the basic skills and the correct fundamentals of the business in order to run the internet business successfully. The easiest way to do that is to LEARN and APPLY what you learn conscientiously.
Look, some of you reading this will go "but I don't want to learn, I just want money falling into my lap!"
Stop and think about how silly and unrealistic such an attitude is. You can't expect to make money if you don't even want to take the initiative to learn. No one is going to hand you money for nothing. You've to work for it. You've got to learn it so you can depend on yourself in the future.
The internet business is a SKILL you can pick up, only question is - are you willing?
If you aren't and expect others to do it for you, then you'll be waiting and waiting, hoping that money will fall from the sky. This was my attitude before the turning point, and it cost me 5 years of my life!
These days it's so easy and affordable to learn the internet business as long as you want to. Resources are available readily and people are willing to help, but you have to help yourself first. There are NO EXCUSES.
Secret #4 - Start Small And Dream Big!
Before starting any business, you need to PLAN and have a goal. Know how much you want to make, only then will you be able to reach it. As the saying goes, "To Get Started, You Must Have A Destination."
For example, set a goal to make $1,000 in 30 days, and work backwards from there. Always set goals for yourself. This is a very powerful and effective way to motivate yourself.
However you have to be realistic and know your capabilities, set small goals first and celebrate small successes. When you're more experienced, you can set bigger goals. This ONE method will move you forward like it did for me.
Secret #5 - Work Towards Your Goals, One Step At A Time
After teaching and training thousands of students around the world, I discovered that for most people new to the internet business, the most important skill you can have is FOCUS.
Focus on one thing at a time while you're working towards your goal.
Don't jump around, instead stick to your plan at least for 30 days. Because the internet business is new to you, you'll have to manage your time and progress at your own pace. You can't learn to run before you walk.
It's ok to take each step slowly, one at a time. Don't stress yourself, there's no deadline in the internet business.
Instead, have fun and enjoy the process!
A Final BIG Secret...
One important big secret I learned too was to work smarter...
By this I mean you should get help. This is a powerful and proven way to become successful FAST.
You don't have to reinvent the wheel or stumble in the dark. Learn from other successful people, leverage on their experience and knowledge. Get others to help you as much as possible.
That's one of the most important things I ever did that accelerated my own success and it will do the same for you.
I trust these lessons will guide you along.
Moving forward, I've created a complete training program you can continue with called...

UPDATE: Man shot dead in Burien on 8th Ave. So.; Murder charge filed
Friend of family shot to death by ex-husband
Update for Sept. 1
Information from King County Prosecutor's Office:
A charge of Murder in the Second Degree was filed today against Jaspal Gill, who is accused in the shooting death of an unarmed man in Burien on August 28. Gill argued with the victim, Harjit Singh, and then shot him multiple times. Prosecutors also added a Firearm Sentencing Enhancement to the charge. If convicted as charged, the defendant's sentencing range is 15 to 23 years in prison. Gill, 47, remains in jail on $3 million bail. He will be arraigned on September 13 at the Maleng Regional Justice Center, courtroom GA.
Update for Aug. 30
The 47-year-old man who turned himself into Burien police after fatally shooting a family friend of his ex-wife had a bail hearing on Aug. 9.
Bail was set at $3 million and the King County Prosecutor's Office has until Aug. 31 to file charges.
Original post on Aug. 28
A cab driver was shot to death in Burien at around 5:45 pm Tuesday evening in the 14000 block of 8th Ave South.
Cindi West, King County Sheriff Public Information officer said, "A female called 911 and said that someone had been shot. When deputies arrived they attempted CPR and when aid got here they pronounced the victim dead at the scene.
The woman that lives here, lives here with her 16 year old son and her 14 year old daughter. The suspect is the father of the children and also the ex-husband of the woman.
The victim was driving a cab is a friend of the woman and he had just picked up the daughter and brought her home. The daughter had just gotten out of the car when the suspect pulled up, got out of the car and came up to the cab, opened the drivers door and fired a number of shots, striking the driver, killing him.
We believe that the 16 year old son and 14 year old daughter both witnessed this.
Within five to ten minutes of deputies arriving on the scene we received another 911 call from the suspect indicating he was at the Burien precinct and he was turning himself in. That's where he is now and was being interviewed by detectives."
It was unclear as to whether or not there was a history of domestic violence with the suspect. According to what the sheriff's were told they had been divorced for approximately 8 years. They were also told that the relationship between the mother and the victim was, "only friends."
The investigation will continue and we will update when more details are released.

Home If You Live in Mumbai What Media Says Feng Shui Art Feng Shui Products Feng Shui Consultation Testimonials
Feng Shui for Cyber Cafes
"You visited my cyber café when I had almost decided to shut the shop, and now I am renovating the café to add 4 more seats. I have added two more connections to make it four." - Peter.
Four cyber cafes, spread across the countries including USA, Japan, South Africa and India have a hoarding:
Consult renowned Feng Shui Master Mohan Deep.
Click: Http://www.Fengshuimiracle.com
These hoardings (or notices on the walls of the cafes) are not paid for. The grateful owners of the Cyber cafes have voluntarily done it. This is their way of acknowledging the role Feng Shui played in their success and this not-so-silent publicity attracts more people to our website.
It all started with a cyber café in Mumbai, three years ago.
The man who ran the cyber cafe was Peter Fernandes.
"I started cyber café thinking it to be the business of tomorrow but it is simply not working out. I have arrangement for 6 persons at a time but you will never see more than two persons in my shop. Sometimes, there is just one visitor. Besides, there is fear of law. I'm responsible for the surfers' behavior. If they visit porn site, or are up to some mischief or up to hacking I get dragged into it. I was thinking of closing it but someone suggested your name. Do you think Feng Shui will help?"
Totally in red, he had incurred losses to the tune of rs 200,000 in less than six months. It may seem small change (just 5,000 US$!) but this was half of his savings and he had quit his job to start cyber café! He also had a small web site he used basically as an affiliate. This site was another drain on his income as he had to keep a web designer.
Feng Shui boosted Cyber Cafe's business
Feng Shui changed everything for Peter! My suggestions included the logo of his business, the design of his home page (color, fonts and lay out) and the décor of the café. This was an unusual case where I saw the kind of flaws I had never seen while giving the regular business consultation and the impact of the flaws was already visible. I scrutinized the computers (in use and disused), monitors, hard disks, keyboard and mouse pieces. The next target was his desk and the cash box, the main door and the toilet.
Six months later Fernandes continued to be in the same business but with a wide grin spread on his face.
"You visited my cyber café when I had almost decided to shut the shop, and now I am renovating the café to add 4 more seats. I have added two more connections to make it four," he said. "I am grateful."
He invited me to drop in while on my way to town any day and promised `something of my interest` in his shop.
A week later, while driving past his shop, I met him. He had printed two posters bearing the legend:
Consult renowned Feng Shui Master Mohan Deep.
Earlier, while chatting online to a fellow cyber café owner in USA, he had talked about the `miracle` of Feng Shui!
Whether it is because of the mouth publicity, chats on message boards or due to these hoardings some other cyber cafes have approached me over the last three years and the result is three more cafes pinning / pasting / hanging the legend about my web site. It makes me as happy as my painting hung and helping someone in some distant country.

The guy I bought it from said the coolant reservoir exploded on thursday. He said his local mechanic said it needs head gasket. What's ur take on it? When I remove the over flow hose from the reservoir and increase the rpm, very little coolant comes out. After I let go of the pedal, the coolant gushes out on the over flow hose. Thermostat is opening. Guy said the water pump, thermostat and belts were replaced last year. The problem started Thursday when the old reservoir exploded. Pls let me know what you think. I was thing of replacing the belts , water pump and thermostat with oem.

It's that time of year again, when everyone comes together to focus on the things that truly matter: The Consumer Electronics Show! And this year, let's remember to keep the CONSUMER in Consumer Electronics Show. Anyway, we here at Woot will be heading to Las Vegas for our annual exercise in expense account fraud, but this year we figured we'd try something a little different: this year we thought we'd try preparing.
We're putting out the call. Are you going to be at CES? Then let's get together! We want to hear from you if you'll be at the convention with a product to demonstrate, a party we can crash, a spokesman you'd like us to interview, or press credentials we can abuse. If you've got a CES-related event and want Woot there delivering snarky, irrelevant coverage then hit up the Woot Writers on Twitter. Let us know what you've got going on and how we can "enhance" it. (I put "enhance" in quotes because really I meant "mooch off of it." But seriously, we'll interview you and junk.)
And if you're heading to CES in a geek blogger capacity, stay tuned for a special opportunity to become a Woot Writer For a Day!
Are you excited for CES and our annual avalanche of coverage? Planning on going yourself? Want to suggest something we should cover? Don't give a damn about the whole thing and just came here to complain about an order or something? Let's talk about it in the comments!

New Video Courtesy of Ben Howe: 'Failure of Leadership'
posted at 12:22 am on August 11, 2011 by Susannah Fleetwood
My third grade teacher, Sister Therese, used to always say, "Be careful what you pray for–you just might get it". Well, Barack Obama obviously prayed, wished, and worked extremely hard for the glory of being president. However, as my friend Ben Howe demonstrates in his brilliant new video, Obama forgot to ask God (or Gaia) how to, you know, competently perform the job of Commander-in-Chief once he actually made it to the Oval Office.
As Moe Lane points out, all Ben had to do to prove that Obama is in way over his head was to juxtapose Obama's own words with a bunch of soundbites and news clippings.
Ouch! That was painful to watch. I almost felt sorry for poor Barack Obama. The man is seriously out of his depth as president of the United States. Somewhere, Sister Therese is smiling.
Update: Thanks so much to Smitty over at The Other McCain and Fox Nation for the links and for re-posting this awesome video–Ben and I appreciate you!

As I found out last year with my wife's CTS, you cannot go to the local auto parts houses and buy an OTC battery for your CTS. The same holds true for the STS as I found out last week. The series of the battery is 101 for the STS. A dealer item only. They go for $178 and up depending on what dealer you talk to.
The parts houses will not sell you any sort of a replacement or try to fit something in of comperable quality saying "The incorrect battery was not made for that car and cannot warranty it." They are scared to even try.
I got in the yellow pages under "Batteries" and located a few businesses that stocked car batteries. I remember a place that my Dad used to buy Semi-truck batteries at. They looked it up in their books and came up with 101 as the replacement. They installed a battery of the same dimensions with the exception of the replacement battery being about 1/2 inch taller than GM DELCO coming out of the car. Had the same CCA as GM. Also the battery warehouse said, "It did not matter what car their battery went into, they would give the full warranty for it." Not sure of the series number of the battery they put in but it fit in with little problems. A tight fit but no problems. Even the hold down mount matched up on the replacement battery. Cost less than $70 with tax. It was the same on the CTS last year.
The new Gel Batteries-Optima, etc. are a line of thought for future replacement.
What else are other doing to solve their battery suitations?
