I need a plain ribbed sweater pattern knitted with Guernsey wool using approx 2.5mm /3mm needles, it is sometimes known as a fishermans sweater but OH doesn't want the cables, just plain with round neck, maybe a rib of 3 knit, 1 purl.
Can anyone suggest anything please as I have bought the wool with a pattern from the shop (he deosn't like the picture as end the result).
Sorry but I am still learning and have tried to work this pattern out but not very good at this yet.
I am open to suggestions and all the help you can offer.
There is a picture of what he would like on ravelry but it is for a baby size
This is the linkhttp://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/204--pull-chaussette
Thanks so much in advanceSquiz
I think knitty has a men's ribbed pullover that's plain; I can't remember the name but if you go through their archives you'll find it.
Thank you I will look there now, fingers crossed
This is one possibility (and it may be the one Sue was thinking of) that comes close to the needle size and style that you're asking for.Alternatively, you could take the yarn and needles that you have and knit a swatch in a 3-1 rib, see what gauge you get, and see if the pattern you have can by adapted to that size and gauge. It may depend on how complicated the cables etc. are in your current pattern however. If nothing suits, maybe the yarn can go back to the yarn store and you can look for another pattern with different yarn? Good luck with it!
Yes, thank you, it was Leo.
Thank you, I have shown him that, but he is so fussy and doesn't want that one, this is the actual pattern I need but not available , as I said I am not experienced even though I did finish my last sweater you all kindly helped me with (I couldn't have done without you)If someone can tell me how many ribs, I think 1 + 1 but probably wrong or do you think 2 + 1 would be better and how do I calculate how many stitches for a 42 finished chest on the needles I need.
Thank you
Fishernan's rib is an actual stitch similar in appearance to brioche stitch. You can look up videos for it online and also patterns. It works very well in 1 + 1 rib but you'll need to learn the st and do a gauge swatch.
Could you do the basic pattern following Leo, but do Fisherman's rib instead of the ribbing shown? There's a tutorial for F Rib here.
Thats it, :cheering: and the stitch looks so easy too, thank you, gonna start this evening but no doubt I will be back here soon
Squizzer, do make sure you do a decent size tension sample and measure well for fishermans rib, it does not measure like ordinary rib. Good luck!!
Thanks for that tip, I will do, the wool cost too much for it to turn out wrong
The sts will be wider and shorter than you'd usually get with the same yarn and needles, but they're more loose and open, so you can either do a smaller size of the pattern, or use a smaller needle.

Evaluate Initialization button?
I have written a notebook containing a package and example applications.
I would like to make the package available to beginner Mathematica
users that have no idea of what packages or initialization cells.
The package is contained in the notebook's initialization cells, inside
a closed cell group.
What I have in mind is a well-visible, active button that says
"click me to load package"
and that triggers "evaluate initialization" from the Kernel menu. Just that.
I browsed the on-line help but without luck. It seems that
"EvaluateInitialization" is not among the available commands.
Anybody knows how to do that? Or something to the same effect?
Thank you in advance,

Snake wine
Snake wine (蛇酒, pinyin: shéjiǔ; rượu rắn in Vietnamese; 뱀주, RRK: bemju in Korean) is an alcoholic beverage produced by infusing whole snakes in rice wine or grain alcohol. The drink was first recorded to have been consumed in China during the Western Zhou dynasty (ca. 1040–770 BC) and considered an important curative and believed to reinvigorate a person according to Traditional Chinese medicine.[2] It can be found in China, Vietnam and throughout Southeast Asia.
The snakes, preferably venomous ones, are not usually preserved for their meat but to have their "essence" and snake venom dissolved in the liquor. The snake venom poses no threat to the drinker. It is denatured by the ethanol—its proteins are unfolded and therefore inactive—[citation needed] and would be denatured by stomach acid anyway.[citation needed]
The Huaxi street night market (華西街夜市) of Taipei, Taiwan, is renowned for its snake foods and wine products.
There are two varieties of snake wine:-
- Steeped: A large venomous snake can be placed into a glass jar of rice wine, sometimes with smaller snakes and medicinal herbs and left to steep for many months. The wine is drunk as a restorative in small shots or cups.
- Mixed: The body fluids of the snake are mixed into wine and consumed immediately in the form of a shot. Snake blood wine is prepared by slicing a snake along its belly and draining its blood directly into the drinking vessel filled with rice wine or grain alcohol. Snake bile wine is done through a similar method by using the contents of the gall bladder.
Snakes and their tissue portions have long been considered by followers of Traditional Chinese medicine to be invaluable for the promotion of vitality and health. The drink was first recorded to be used in China during the Western Zhou dynasty (771 BC) and the medicinal use of snakes was noted in the medical manual Shen nong ben cao jing (神农本草经) compiled between 300 B.C. and 200 A.D.[3] The detailed use of various snake species, their body parts, and various preparations were greatly elaborated in the medical manual Bencao Gangmu (本草綱目) of Li Shizhen in the Ming dynasty.[4]
Snake wine can be found in many areas of Vietnam, Southeast Asia and Southern China.
Claims of medicinal value[edit]
Snakes are widely believed to possess medicinal qualities and the wine is often advertised to cure everything from farsightedness to hair loss, as well as to increase sexual performance.[3][4] In Vietnam, snake wine (Rượu rắn) is widely believed by some individuals to improve health and virility. A similar drink is made with geckos or sea horses rather than snakes.[5] Snake wine, due to its high alcohol percentage, is traditionally drunk in shot glasses. Braver drinkers may eat certain parts of the snake, such as the gall bladder, eyeballs and the stomach.[citation needed]
It is illegal to import snake wine to many countries because the cobras and other snakes killed in the production are often endangered species.[6]

text: Late yesterday, CNET reported that Brian Hogan and Sage Wallower, the two men involved in finding a lost iPhone 4 prototype in a Redwood City, California bar last year and selling it to Gizmodo, have pleaded no contest to the theft charges that had been brought against them. The two men were each sentenced to one year of probation and 40 hours of community service, and were required to pay $250 in restitution to Apple. In a follow-up report relating an interview with Wagstaffe, CNET shares that Gizmodo was ultimately cleared of any charges related to the case because of a lack of evidence. Wagstaffe did, however, have some harsh words for the behavior of Gizmodo's staff. The district attorney's office had specifically looked for evidence of Gizmodo's participation in theft leading to possession of stolen property, as well as potential extortion, but did not find sufficient evidence to support either charge.

A video which shows a teenage girl being flogged by Taliban fighters is being seen throughout the world. The once peaceful Sawt Valley in Pakistan has been surrendered to Taliban thugs by the Pakistan government and the religious fanatics are now imposing their will upon a population that is terrorized. Two men hold the girl down while a third whips her repeatedly as she cries in desperation, "please stop it. Either kill me or stop it now." After receiving 34 lashes the girl is led into a building. Taliban spokesperson Muslim Khan took responsibility for the flogging. "She came out of a house with another guy who w as not her husband, so we must punish her. There are boundaries you cannot cross." The video is being shown because the Taliban wants everyone to understand what happens if you cross the black turbaned thugs who now control the Swat Valley.
Sher Muhammad Khan, an official with the Human Rights Commission of Pakistan noted: "they have committed so many atrocities since the peace deal. They have taken control of the district. They decide disputes according to their whims." It appears where the government has abandoned an area, the Taliban impose their own laws and brutality.
One of the men holding down the girl was her brother. Such is life in Taliban Pakistan where a government has allowed criminals to impose their brutality. After all, the Taliban was created by the Pakistan military.

Join Ernie at The Furry Arms Hotel for a musical lesson in just how useful counting can be. When Ernie finds and returns a misplaced key, he uses his knowledge of numbers to return the key to the correct guest. As Ernie begins to learn about the hotel business, he finds many common situations in which counting is essential. Throughout the 30-minute video, Ernie and his friends help children learn to count from 1 to 20 with such songs as the jazzy "That''s How the Numbers Go," an original version of the Chorus Line show tune "One," and "Rap Song #11." Favorite Sesame Street characters Elmo and The Count are joined by new characters including Ding the Dinger, a furry fellow with a bell on his head, and Benny, the bellboy that responds to Ding the Dinger''s dings. Children as young as 18 months will bounce happily along with the catchy tunes and 2-year-olds will be inspired to count aloud with Ernie. Kids up to age 5 will hone their counting skills and laugh at the increasingly frustrated Benny as he delivers everything from 1 bucket of ice to 15 stampeding elephants! If you''re looking for a fun video that teaches counting skills, here it is. --Tami Horiuchi

After a day of ceremony and separate meetings with President Obama, Israel and the Palestinian Authority sat down together this morning to begin direct talks for the first time in nearly two years.
Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton is presiding over the first day of negotiations at the State Department, with Middle East special envoy George Mitchell and representatives from both sides.
All three parties to the talks met for about 90 minutes this morning, first with aides present at a horseshoe-shaped table in the department's Benjamin Franklin Room. Then the two leaders, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, met privately with Clinton and her special envoy to the Middle East, George Mitchell. Finally, Netanyahu and Abbas met one-to-one.
One of their first agreements was to meet again on Sept. 14-15 somewhere in the Middle East. Clinton and Mitchell be there, but it's not clear whether they will mediate inside the meetings or remain outside. They also agreed to meet about every two weeks thereafter.
Mitchell said the leaders condemned "all forms of violence that target innocent civilians and pledged to work together to maintain security." That was a reference to violence in the West Bank Tuesday and Wednesday that left four Israeli settlers dead, including a pregnant woman and a mother of six.
He said they also agreed to seek a framework agreement early on that could guide the talks toward the "fundamental compromises" that will be necessary if all core issues are to be resolved and the decades-long conflict ended within a year -- the goal of both sides.
"At least in a couple of instances (in the past), time ran out," Mitchell said, referring to peace negiations in 2000 under President Bill Clinton and 2008 under President George W. Bush. If the talks fail again, he said, "It isn't going to be because time ran out at the end."
The lead-up to today's meeting has been cordial in Washington but contentious in the cradle of civilization. Many Israelis don't want to give up land for peace, particularly in East Jerusalem. Palestinians want Israel to extend its moratorium on West Bank settlements as a first sign of good faith.
That puts Netanyahu and Abbas in a difficult spot. If they amicably begin bargaining, they will alienate many of their constituents who favor a hard line. If they stick by previous positions on issues such as dividing Jerusalem and returning refugees, they will upset U.S. mediators.
"To those who criticize this process who stand on the sidelines and say 'no,' I ask you to join us in this effort," Clinton said in opening the session. "As President Obama said yesterday, we hear often from those voices in the region who insist that this is a top priority and yet do very little to support the work that would actually bring about a Palestinian state. Now is the opportunity to start contributing to progress."
Netanyahu cited legitimacy and security as the "two pillars" of peace. He said the Palestinians must be ready to recognize Israel and the nation-state of the Jewish people and help provide for its security.
At the White House on Wednesday, he lamented: "We left Lebanon, and we got terror. We left Gaza, and we got terror once again." This morning he said security is even harder with the rise of "Iran and its proxies" and missile warfare.
Abbas was equally blunt, calling on Israel to "end the occupation" of the West Bank that began after the 1967 war, end the construction of settlements there and completely lift the embargo over the Gaza Strip, governed by the Islamic militant group Hamas.
The talks are being monitored in Washington by three other parties: Egypt and Jordan, which have their own peace agreements with Israel, and the Quartet, a coalition of the U.S., Russia, European Union and United Nations represented by former British prime minister Tony Blair.
They're no doubt being watched warily in Iran as well. Netanyahu has mentioned Iran's threat at every opportunity. And Mitchell said Iran's policies are having an effect.
"They influence what is occurring here. And in my judgment, they add another argument ... as to why this conflict should be resolved," he said.
The day's preliminary negotiations were opened with brief statements from Clinton, Netanyahu and Abbas. Here are a few excerpts:
By being here today you each have taken an important step toward freeing your peoples from the shackles of a history we cannot change and moving toward a future of peace and dignity that only you can create .... I fervently believe ... that you are the leaders who can make this long, cherished dream a reality, and we will do everything possible to help you.
President Abbas, I see in you a partner for peace. Together we can lead our people to an historic future that can put an end to claims and to conflict.
The people of Israel and I as their prime minister are prepared to walk this road and to go a long way, a long way in a short time, to achieve a genuine peace that will bring our people security, prosperity and good neighbors, good neighbors to shape a different reality between us. That's going to involve serious negotiations, because there are many issues in contention.
We anticipate difficult days before we achieve the much desired peace. The last two days have been difficult. They were exceedingly difficult for my people and for me. Blood has been shed, the blood of innocents ... and so achieving security is a must. Security is the foundation of peace.
President Abbas, history has given us a rare opportunity to end the conflict between our peoples, a conflict that has been lasting for almost a century. It's an unprecedented opportunity to end a century conflict.
We do know how hard the hurdles and the obstacles are that we will face .... (Security) is vital for both of us, and we cannot allow for anyone to do anything that would undermine your security and our security .... Security is fundamental and very sensitive.
At the end of those statements, Clinton thanked both men and said, "Now it's time to get to work." Abbas and Netanyahu reached across Clinton and shook hands.
Outside experts said too much shouldn't be made of the early camaraderie between leaders who have agreed to disagree for so long.
"You could easily leave that meeting concluding, 'Hey, look at all they have in common,'" said Aaron David Miller, a Middle East specialist who served six previous secretaries of State. "As much as there may appear to be a new look to this ... none of that adds up to what will be required to deal with the old dimension of the problem."
Mitchell acknowledged the talks will be tough. But he said the two sides will never reach agreement if they begin by "suggesting that the mountains are too high and the rivers are too wide, so let's not undertake the journey."

Bangalore: After skipper Saurav Ganguly, master blaster Sachin Tendulkar on Monday strongly supported coach John Wright continuing in his job, saying the former New Zealand Captain is trying hard to put India on the success path.Asked specifically if he would recommend continuation of Wright, who has completed his one-year contract, as Coach, Tendulkar replied, "I would say so. He (Wright) has done a good job".Tendulkar's support for Wright comes two days after Ganguly came out in strong defence of the coach in Ahemdabad, saying "there is no question of changing John Wright. He has been a very good coach".Tendulkar said, "He (Wright) is a good coach. He is trying hard on us (the team). I appreciate his efforts. Success does not come overnight. He is trying hard at it."Tendulkar's comments came during a chat with reporters after he along with Leander Paes and Mahesh Bhupathi showcased the official match ball of 2002 FIFA World Cup at the Adidas exclusive store here.To a question on the third and final Test starting here on Wednesday, he said cricket is a tough game and it's hard to predict. "Both sides are good. We will try our best."Tendulkar said he does not follow football "very much", adding, he is a keen follower of tennis and Formula one race. PTI

Pope breaks tradition with BBC broadcast
By Avril Ormsby
LONDON (Reuters) - Pope Benedict called for people to remember the significance of Christ's birth in a Christmas message specially recorded for Britons and aired on the BBC on Friday.
It was the first time the pope has addressed a Christmas message specifically to one of the countries visited during the year, the BBC said.
The pope recalled his four-day state visit to England and Scotland in September, and told the people of Britain and every part of the English-speaking world that they were in his prayers in the Holy season.
The recording was broadcast in the "Thought for the Day" slot on the Radio 4 current affairs program "Today."
The slot lasts about three minutes and has a regular place on the morning program broadcast Monday to Saturday. It offers a personal perspective, from leaders of a variety of religious denominations, on topical issues.
"God is always faithful to his promises, but he often surprises us in the way he fulfils them," the Pope said in the message pre-recorded at the Vatican.
"Let us joyfully proclaim to those around us the good news that God offers us freedom from whatever weighs us down. He gives us hope, he brings us life."
The pope's visit to Britain, the first ever official papal visit to the country, was deemed a success despite a backdrop of a global sex-abuse scandal within the Catholic Church and hostility from one of Europe's most secular nations. The pope did not refer to sex abuse in his broadcast. Continued...

Name: Adam Ehrlich
HT/WT: 6-foot-1/200 pounds
Bats/Throws: L/R
Position: C
Body Type:
thick 6'1" frame. Has put on a lot
of muscle over the past year, originally listed at 180-185 lbs and is now just
south of 200. Ehrlich is growing well into his body as his top half continues to
mature. Bottom half provides a set of strong legs. Also has a set of big, tough hands that
can already handle professional velocities. Body comparison to
Using a slightly open stance, Ehrlich has a long, flat swing plane with a balanced stride. He has the power to drive the ball, but won't be your perennial home run threat (think plus gap power). Can take the ball to any part of the field, but his strength lies in lefty-pull power. Could become a doubles machine. Great plate discipline with pitch recognition skills. His baserunning speed is above average for a catcher, but by being a catcher, it's unlikely he'll swipe bags at the big league level. Keeps a focused field awareness, both on defense and on the basepaths. Rarely turns his attention elsewhere.
Behind the dish, Ehrlich is a natural defender. He has some time at first, but will not be leaving the backstop anytime soon. His durability at such a young age is his best attribute, with a surplus of stamina to "catch all day long and make it look easy and graceful." (BaseballBeginnings.com). His catching game is fluid, effortless, and with more instruction, could essentially be flawless. Has strong average arm strength with the projection of a plus arm as his throwing mechanics improve. Thanks to his quick feet and an even quicker release, his outstanding POP times have been listed in the 1.85 to 2.00 second range. He projects to POP closer to 1.80-1.90 once he perfects his footwork. Called games his senior year at Campbell Hall, not something you see from most high school catchers.
Ehrlich already has a tremendous knowledge of the game and continues to work hard to refine his baseball skills. Has a willingness to do the little things, and won't question getting dirty. His ability to receive and adjust a pitcher's game plan is far surpassed what his age group would usually show. Maturity is coming along nicely for the 18-year old.
Hitting skills are still raw. His long swing plane mentioned before can work against him. His elbows usually stay close together, but when they begin to separate, his swing becomes even longer than it already is. Ehrlich's plane should be shortened to create a more compact swing. His leg kick is inconsistent and can be very high during the load. Has a slow pivot out of the batter's box, which doesn't match up with his quick feet on defense. Lacks trust in his ability to use his natural power. He attempts to take the ball the other way when he should be pulling inside pitches. He must become assertive with pitches on the inside part of the plate. Also, he is too patient at times. While he was pitched around on multiple occasions his senior year, Ehrlich would watch hittable pitches go by.
Defensively, his arm strength is still developing. He occasionally rushes himself with an aggressiveness to catch runners stealing. Has trouble fielding well-placed bunts. His receiving skills are above average for a young catcher (glove beats pitches before they hit the strike zone, keeps hands steady to secure a strike), but he has a tendency to stab at the ball. Could use some work on blocking pitches, especially breaking balls in the dirt. He's been game-calling for just over a year, but those skills are relatively underdeveloped. Still has confidence to communicate with his pitchers.
It's rare to find high school catchers that are as defensively sound as Ehrlich is. However, he cannot rest on his laurels. As he strives for consistency, his abilities as a natural catcher could lead him to the big leagues. Offensively, his hit tool is far from polished, but does show promise. Ehrlich has multiple mechanical issues to iron out, including his swing and stance, and must learn to trust his own talent. If he can hone his skills at the plate, I can project a future .255-.260 hitter at his peak, 8 to 10 home runs a year. Not out of the question for him to hit 20+ doubles during a full-length season. Having only played at the high school level, it should take Ehrlich four to five seasons before he reaches the Majors. It's possible his value can exceed his status as a sixth-round pick up.

Missoula city officials have dreamed for years of connecting the Kim Williams Trail to the confluence of the Blackfoot and Clark Fork rivers past Bonner. Now, a judge may decide whether the city can compel developers to make that dream a reality.
The city's desire stems from a lack of alternative routes to and from the eastern parts of Missoula. As it stands now, bicyclists must fight high-volume traffic on Highway 200 and Interstate 90 to reach downtown from East Missoula and Bonner. An extension of the trail would bypass those roadways and provide a scenic path along the river.
City Council thought it found the solution to the problem with its Nov. 26, 2007, approval of developer Bob Brugh's application for the Clark Fork Terrace No. 2 subdivision. Brugh's company, Neighborhoods by Design, proposed 33 homes on 47.38 acres east of Deer Creek Road along the Clark Fork River near East Missoula.
As a condition of approval, the city proposed a trail running along Deer Creek Road to the east. That trail would connect with the abandoned Old Milwaukee railroad line and, the city hoped, eventually extend to the Kim Williams Trail, linking the popular Missoula path with Bonner.
Brugh agreed to the council's stipulation, but balked at a second condition of approval—an easement along the river to build a second trail. Brugh then sued the city, in part, to remove the additional condition.
On Tuesday, Missoula District Judge Ed McLean held an evidentiary hearing to decide whether the city has the authority to force Brugh to create an easement. McLean put the burden on the city to provide more information on why, exactly, the riverfront trail is necessary to the project—and why Brugh should be responsible for it.
City Attorney Jim Nugent first called Peter Nielsen, an environmental health supervisor with the Missoula City-County Health Department who has worked for the past 15 years to extend the Kim Williams Trail. Nielsen explained that an easement and riverfront path would make the extension more desirable—a vital component to a route he expects to be in heavy use. As proof, Nielsen pointed to traffic figures that project the subdivision will add more than one car per minute to local roadways, making an alternative commute to services in Missoula all the more necessary. He also said children living in the subdivision would likely attend the Bonner School, and to drive to the facility parents would need to backtrack to East Missoula, then back up the river—a circuitous 5-mile drive. With a pedestrian bridge the city hopes to build, children could walk or bike just 1.4 miles to school.
"It is, in fact, the subdivision that creates the need [for a trail]," Nielsen said.
But on cross examination, Alan McCormick, the attorney for Neighborhoods by Design, had Nielsen explain that the roads in the subdivision, bordered by sidewalks, already led to the trail on Deer Creek Road, which eventually leads to the abandoned Old Milwaukee Line. McCormick's point: the subdivision provides sufficient non-motorized access out of the neighborhood without the easement.
During Nielsen's testimony, McLean asked why the city didn't use the power of eminent domain to just build the riverfront trail itself.
"Because it's part of the city's subdivision regulations," Nugent answered.
To explain the regulations, Nugent called Tim Worley, a planner with the Office of Planning and Grants (OPG), to testify. Worley pointed to a provision mandating that all trails should be continuous and provide access to services, including open space.
Jackie Corday, open space program manager for Missoula Parks and Recreation, then testified that when Brugh's application passed her desk, it included a conservation easement along the river. Recognizing that conservation easements generally preclude public access, Corday asked Brugh to leave space for a public trail, which Brugh allegedly supported. Brugh didn't return a call seeking comment.
"I don't think there's a person in this room who isn't a fan of the city's riverfront trail system," McLean told the courtroom. "But the issue of this case is not whether the trail can be built. It's whether the city has the authoritative power [to take the easement]."
In addition to the riverfront trail issue, Brugh is also arguing against other conditions attached to the city's approval of his development. One states that if the city isn't able to buy the Old Milwaukee line from Burlington Northern, the council wants to use Brugh's property to extend the Kim Williams Trail with an additional easement. Also, the subdivision has slated nine acres that "resemble" public space. The city wants the space to actually be open to the public.
McLean didn't rule on the case Tuesday. McCormick said he thinks a decision will come in the next three to six months.

Suit: Bank of America neglected RI skyscraper
PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — The owner of Rhode Island's tallest building is suing Bank of America for more than $23 million, saying it neglected the Art Deco-style skyscraper known as the Superman building.
A lawsuit by Newton, Mass.-based developer High Rock says Bank of America breached its lease by failing to adequately maintain the 26-story building. The suit says the bank left crumbling facades and other problems when it left it vacant this year.
Bank of America denies it and has countersued.
The building is the distinguishing feature on the Providence skyline and had been used as a bank since it opened in the 1920s. Locals think it resembles the offices of the fictional Daily Planet.
The lawsuit was filed in July and is scheduled for a hearing Thursday.

The bacterium Staphylococcus Aureus (S. aureus) is a common source of infections that occur after surgeries involving prosthetic joints and artificial heart valves. The grape-shaped microorganism adheres to medical equipment, and if it gets inside the body, it can cause a serious and even life-threatening illness called a Staph infection. The recent discovery of drug-resistant strains of S. aureus makes matters even worse.

Evening Bus Service Returns to Some Colorado Springs Routes
By Andrea Chalfin News Dir. On April 2, 2013 · 1 Comment · In Colorado Springs, Hannah Sohl, KRCC News, Transportation
Evening service has returned to some bus routes in Colorado Springs. KRCC's Hannah Sohl reports.
During the economic downturn, the city cut funding to Mountain Metropolitan Transit, which meant the transportation system cut services. Now, some are back. Service for almost half the city's routes is extended until about 9:45 p.m. Among the selected routes are Academy, Pikes Peak Avenue, and from Pikes Peak Community College to the World Arena. Vicki McCann with Mountain Metropolitan Transit says there's lots of need for the returning services.
"Bringing some evening service to our system was a request we heard very often and it going to help connect our riders with jobs and shopping, dining and entertainment, give them some options they haven't had for quite a while."
McCann says they also get lots of requests from riders to add more frequent service as well as transportation on Sundays. But she says there is still a shortage of additional funding to make that happen.

Book II: Blood Ties
A work of fan-fiction based upon the Star Trek universe created by Gene Roddenberry
Authored by Stephen T Bynum
All rights reserved
Chapter One
Matt snapped upright in his bed, his body soaked with sweat as he panted and felt his veins throb at the run-away pace of his heart. Slowly, he relaxed, and he leaned forward to rest his elbows on his knees and he laid his face down in his palms. It was just a dream, he thought, just a bad dream. "Lights," he said as he peeled away the damp sheets and stood, while the computer obediently raised the illumination levels in his cabin. Matt grimaced as he saw the time display: 0244 hours.
Still, he was awake and he knew that he would not be going back to sleep any time soon. The Captain of USS Republic made his way into the small adjourning bath-room, relieved himself, and he left his shorts on the deck as he stepped into the shower, where the hot water helped him come fully awake.
He shut down the water flow and toweled off before stepping in front of his mirror, wiping away the steam and then mixing up a mug full of shaving cream. He quickly lathered up and then deftly cut away the emerging tips of his nightly whiskers. Washing off the last of the lather and cut hair, he dropped the towel and then his shorts in the soiled clothing receptacle and heard the hum as they were broken down into their constituent elements, and then replicated clean and fresh into the dispenser. Matt picked them up and he stored the towel, then walked back into his cabin and began to pull on his uniform. Once fully dressed, he paused long enough to open a drawer and extract a Type I Phaser—a cricket—which he carefully checked to ensure it was indeed charged and locked on stun; then he headed for the door and exited into the corridors of his ship, the lights behind him automatically dimming in his absence.
Republic was in night-mode, with her lights cut by a third from the normal day-shift illumination; but the powerful cruiser never truly slept. A full quarter of her crew were going about their nightly duties, manning stations and performing all of the various task required for the ship to continue functioning. Still, the corridors were mostly empty at this time of the night and Matt encountered no one as he walked to the turbolift. As he did, he felt the slight shiver of the hull as the warp drive disengaged, and he nodded. Right on schedule, he thought to himself. The doors slid aside at his approach and he stepped within. "Bridge," he commanded, and the turbolift obeyed.
Galok of the House of Mak'vegh looked up from his feigned disinterest as one of his Warriors turned about to face him.
"Commander, our quarry has dropped out of warp." He smiled a very Klingon smile. "Their shields are down and they dropped out of Warp quite near where we were told they would emerge."
The Klingon nodded and he smiled as he straightened his shoulders and sat back in his chair. "Battle conditions," he ordered. "Range? Bearing?"
"Six thousand kellicams . . . and closing," another replied. "We are approaching from her stern, my Lord."
"Good, good!" Galok bared his teeth. "Signal Treleak and Vashoon—tight-beam, minimum power!" he barked. "Stand by to transfer energy to weapons . . . at my command!"
"Understood," the engineer answered.
"Dekar," the Klingon leaned forward. "Be ready to transmit their command prefix upon my orders—only on my orders. They must have no warning of our attack."
The communications officer nodded briskly. "Awaiting your command, my Lord."
"Four thousand kellicams . . . and closing," the sensor technician reported.
"Steady. Steady," whispered Galok.
Within seconds the transport car had reached the bridge and the doors once again slid open; Matt walked out onto his command deck and he saw the steady stars out of the corner of his eye on the main viewer. We've reached the Camulus system, he thought. Why Starfleet wanted us to survey this system en route to Cygnus, I'll never know.
Lt. Commander Amanda Tsien stood from his chair, a puzzled look on her face, and Matt grinned. "Miss Tsien, don't you ever sleep?"
She smiled back. "I prefer the night shift, Captain," she answered quietly. "It gives me a chance to get command time under my belt—for when I get my own ship."
Matt chuckled, and he motioned the Science Officer back into the seat. "I have some work I need to finish this morning, Amanda," he whispered softly so that no one else could hear him. "No surprise Red Alert drills today. Patch me through to the Vulcan Embassy on Earth, please."
"Aye, aye, Sir," she answered as she sat. "Mister Galloway, place a ship-to-shore call to the Vulcan Embassy on Earth," she ordered.
Dekar blinked as his console began to receive a signal—the Federation ship was powering up their sub-space communications array, and he cursed softly. These humans must not be allowed to warn the others—Lord Mak'vegh had been quite explicit in his instructions for Galok to intercept this ship . . . and if possible to destroy it using the stolen codes. Dekar knew that; he might not have been authorized to view the transmission . . . but then again, he was the comm officer. And so he had seen it with his own eyes and heard Lord Mak'vegh with his own ears.
"Two thousand kellicams . . . and closing. They have yet to detect us," the executive officer reported from his station.
Dekar drew in a deep breath and snarled, but no one on the tight confines of the bridge payed any attention to the warrior assigned to monitor transmissions. Then he pressed one key.
"My lord, they are attempting to contact their sub-space relay buoys—I am jamming their transmissions," he reported.
Matt nodded in appreciation and began to walk towards his ready room, when a puzzled voice stopped him dead in his tracks.
"No response from sub-space comm relays, Ma'am," the junior Operations Officer of the Watch called out. "I'm not even receiving a carrier signal."
Matt frowned, as did Amanda as she swiveled the chair. "Reroute through the secondary network, Mister Galloway."
"No response again, Ma'am."
Amanda stood and walked over to an unmanned Science Station, where the Captain joined her. "Are our communications down?" he asked.
"No, sir. Diagnostics are clean—Galloway is correct, we aren't receiving the carrier signal from the sub-space radio net, either primary or secondary. It is almost li-. . . ," she suddenly stopped and inhaled sharply. "Captain, I think our communications are being deliberately jammed."
Matt licked his lips. "Miss Tsien, I have the conn. Sound Red Alert and set General Quarters throughout the ship—do not raise shields or arm weapons, put them on standby."
"Aye, aye, Sir. Sounding Red Alert and setting General Quarters throughout the ship," she said as the klaxons began to blare.
Matt sat down in his command chair and buckled the safety straps about his chest and waist. And he stared at the viewer showing only the stars as the officers and crew of Republic rushed to their stations.
"You mindless toh-pah!" Commander Galok shouted at the defiant communications officer. "If you have alerted them, I will cut out your heart and feed it to my tarq!"
"They were trying to summon aid, my Lord! I thought it best . . ."
"P'tahk!" Galok shouted as he stood. "You did not think at all! You warned them! They are now determining if their own communications are defective, and when they find that they are not, what conclusion do you suppose they will draw?"
"They are spineless Federation humans, my Lord, without the heart of bat . . ."
The Klingon officer snarled with rage and drew his disruptor pistol; he fired a single bolt into the chest of the communications officer, who dissolved into nothing. "Pitiful fool; these humans destroyed Krull and Val'qis."
Galok sat again and gazed upon the screen, frowning. "Have they responded to the jamming?"
"No, Commander," answered the executive officer. "Range now one thousand kellicams and closing."
"They will before long. Inform the others that we attack at five hundred kellicams! Communications," Galok hissed. "Prepare to transmit the command codes—on my orders only! Is that understood?"
"Understood clearly, Commander," Dekar's former assistant and now successor answered as sweat pooled on his forehead.
Galok glared at him for a moment and then he sat back in his command chair—his command throne. "Good. Gunnery, target their warp core—let us end this battle with the first stroke of the sword."
Chan came running up to his console and quickly scanned it as the rating responsible for third watch stood aside. "All compartments are manned and standing by at General Quarters, Sir," the Andorian reported. "Shields are energized, but not yet raised; weapons are manned and in stand-by mode. Is this a drill, Captain Dahlgren?"
"Let's hope so, Mister Shrak," Matt answered. "Someone is jamming our communications; and since there is nothing to be seen on sensors . . ."
"That means there is a cloaked ship is out there," the XO finished. "Permission to load quantum torpedoes into the ready magazines for the forward tubes, Sir?"
Matt swiveled his chair and looked at Chan for several seconds, and then he nodded. "Granted, Mister Shrak, but do not arm; not yet, at least."
The Captain looked down at the repeater display on the arm of his chair. "Any contact, Miss Tsien?"
"No, sir," she answered from her Science Station. "I could fire a tachyon pulse burst—that would at least confirm the presence of a cloaked ship."
"No, Miss Tsien, if they are jamming us then they mean to attack; quite likely at point-blank range to maximize the impact of their disruptors. We will let them come in close—we got lucky this time in that they jumped the gun on the jamming of our communications; we have an opportunity to surprise them now. If instead they withdraw and come at us again, at another time and place of their choosing, we might not be so lucky the next time."
"CONTACT!" barked Pavel Roshenko from Tactical. "Three Klingon bird-of-prey, K'Vort-class; they are raising shields!"
"Raise shields and arm all weapons; hail them, Mister Shrak."
"No response, Sir; shields are . . .," Chan began, and then the Andorian cursed, his head snapping up to stare in horror at Matt. "Shields are down!"
"GET THEM UP!" snapped Matt.
"No response, phasers off-. . .," Pavel answered, but a strangled incredulous yell from Operations cut him off.
"SIR!" Grace Biddle interrupted from the Operations station. "They are transmitting our command prefix code! Shields down—phasers off-line—torpedo launchers off-line!"
Matt jerked upright and he blinked—for just a fraction of a second, he almost refused to believe what he had heard, but then he heard his own voice snapping orders even before Grace finished her report. "OVERRIDE! Helm, evasive port!"
"Too late," Chan snarled as he grabbed hold of his console, disrupter bolts and torpedoes streaking across the main viewer as the Klingons overtook Republic from astern.
Galok snarled as his over-powered disruptor bolts and torpedoes slammed into the unshielded back of Republic and the Federation starship spun out of control, streaming air from a dozen minor hull ruptures. But the mighty starship remained—mostly—intact!
"HOW COULD THEY SURVIVE?" he bellowed as all three of his ships soared over the wounded Federation vessel.
"Commander," the sensor technician—almost as lowly in the chain of command as the newly promoted comms officer—spoke up. "The cowards armored their hull! But the armor has been weakened, my Lord."
"Bring us around for another pass," Galok ordered as he nodded at the warrior's report and glanced over the sensor data—it was true. The human cowards had armored their vessel, but his first strike had stripped away much of their defenses; a second against the same hull section would prove lethal.
"Shields, my Lord?" the executive officer asked.
"Divert all power to maneuvering and weapons! We will finish them with this strike!" And Galok smiled. "The humans are defenseless and we have torn from them their claws."
Republic heaved as disruptor bolts and torpedo impacts tore into her back and the three birds-of-prey streaked past her. Emergency lights came to life as the normal bridge lights flickered and died, even as Matt and his command crew fought to maintain their seats and footing as the hull groaned and the ship spun out of control; the inertial dampeners overloaded and subjecting all of the crew to a gut-wrenching surge of gravity before Isabella and Grace managed to compensate and pull out of the death spiral.
Matt winced as a console exploded and a rating screeched in agony as he was burned by the electrical fire—but his straps held him in place. He slammed a fist down on the arm of his chair as he looked over the blinking red lights of the damage control board—the Klingons had aimed for the warp core. If it hadn't been for the armor, Republic would have already been destroyed. And the old girl was showing secondary damage to other sections.
"They're coming around!" Pavel snapped.
"Shield control . . . RESTORED!"
"RAISE THEM!" barked Matt.
"Phasers . . . phaser arrays still off-line . . . torpedoes . . . torpedoes are back up in local control only!" Pavel continued.
"FIRE!" Matt snarled—just as Chan barked out, "Shields UP!"
"BRACE FOR IMPACT!" Matt ordered as the Klingon cruisers began to spit luminous green disruptor bolts and sullen red torpedoes—and he bared his teeth as Republic shivered and four blue-white orbs of death and destruction streaked away in reply.
The impact of the enemy weapons drove home against shields still straining to reach full power—but the shields held , , , for the most part. Still, it was if Republic had been a ground car that had just slammed into a brick wall, and there was a scream as a damage control tech went flying overhead to slam into the helm—narrowly missing Isabella as the Lieutenant fought to retain control of the ship's systems. Alarms blared and acrid smoke stung Matt's eyes, but he didn't blink as his own torpedoes drove home against the tight formation of Klingons.
The first, struck by a single quantum torpedo, staggered as one entire wing shattered and she spun out of control—the second torpedo missed the second ship narrowly. But the remaining two flew true and went home against the third bird-of-prey—and when the glare of the explosion faded only debris remained.
"Phasers on-line!" Pavel reported as the intact Klingon ship streaked past.
"Bring us about on a pursuit course, Miss Montoya—Mister Roshenko, lock phasers."
"Locked," the young officer answered.
Galok felt his stomachs twist and tighten as two of his ships were removed from the fight—and then he saw that Republics shields were restored . . . and her phasers were coming on-line! "Fool! Lower their shields! Disable their weapons!"
The newly promoted comm officer looked up in horror. "I cannot—the codes are no longer working!"
"WARP SPEED NOW!" Galok bellowed as he half-stood from his chair-throne. And then he breathed a sigh of relief as the old vessel accelerated first to, and then past, light-speed. The sudden maneuver left Republic far behind him, along with her golden phaser beams slicing through now-empty space.
"Engage cloaking device!"
The lighting subtly changed and Galok released his breath again. "Plot a course to rendezvous with Lord Mak'vegh."
"We are running, my Lord?" the gunnery officer asked.
Galok snarled and he drew his pistol a second time—but the officer submitted, bowing deeply and offering the flotilla commander a clean shot at his spine. The Lord and Master of the bird-of-prey, accepted the submission of his underling—and he holstered the pistol and sat once more. "Dekar cost us the chance at victory with his clumsy jamming of their communications that alerted our foe to our presence! We must warn Lord Mak'vegh that his codes are not longer effective! Do your duty, warriors!"
The warrior bowed and turned back to his station as the surviving bird-of-prey fled Camulus and the ship Galok had planned to kill.
The Klingon ship commander sat and he rested his chin in one hand. And Lord Mak'vegh needs to know that the Federation lied about which ships can carry and fire their quantum torpedoes; perhaps he can use such information to draw away some of Martok's more . . . reluctant supporters.
"Sorry, sir," Pavel said. "She went to warp before I could get a shot off," he paused and then shook his head. "She's gone into cloak, Sir."
"Understood, Mister Roshenko," the Captain answered as the mortally wounded bird-of-prey on screen erupted in an eye-tearing explosion.
"They activated their self-destruct," Amanda reported. "Jamming has ceased—we've restored contact with the sub-space relay network."
"Very well, Miss Tsien—I want a 360-degree tachyon burst scan; let's see if they have anything else out there. Damage report, Mister Shrak?"
"All systems are now returned to our control, Captain—and the prefix codes have been reset to a random combination. Structural damage on all decks; but no hull breaches and we have both warp and impulse power. Medical is reporting a significant number of casualties, but just three dead."
Matt nodded. "We got lucky," he whispered.
"Truth, pink-skin," Chan said just as quietly in answer as he stepped up next to the command chair. "Of course, we are also very good—that helps."
"Indeed it does," Matt chuckled grimly. "You have the conn, Mister Shrak—keep the ship at Red Alert and coordinate the D/C teams as well as medical recovery." Matt sighed. "I need to speak with Starfleet Command."
"Aye, aye, Sir. I have the conn," the Andorian answered as Matt walked to his ready room.

Difficult decisions ahead for the world's print media
The China Post news staff Wednesday, March 23, 2011, 10:25 am TWN
Some people enjoy the morning ritual of reading the newspaper over breakfast. Some like holding a newspaper in their hands; some even profess a love for the crisp smell of newsprint. Many others, however, have no such sentimental attachments to the physical form of a newspaper and instead, read an online version.
For the past decade or so, newspapers around the world have felt the sting as readers abandon print subscriptions in favor of the online experience. Newspapers around the globe have been put between a rock and a hard place. On the one hand, they cannot afford not to have an online edition, as they would see their influence diminished. On the other hand, many newspapers literally cannot afford to give away free content; especially as print subscribers decline to renew with the papers.
From major international newspapers to local dailies, papers across the world are struggling with the twin blows of lower print subscriptions and an exodus of advertisers who prefer to put their money into the drastically cheaper medium of the Internet. Editors, writers, reporters, editorialists, staff, photographers and others in the industry have to be paid of course, and dwindling revenue gives newspaper owners few options but to cut back to a bare-bones staff. Many smaller newspapers around the world can no longer afford to retain many investigative journalists or reporters that can be dispatched to do interviews or write firsthand accounts of local events.
But, the entire industry could be on the verge of change. Next Monday, March 28th, American and international visitors to The New York Times website will discover that the free ride is over. The Times, one of America's most venerable news organizations with a website that attracts 30 million monthly visitors, has announced plans to begin charging for online subscriptions. The basic price has been set at US$15 for four weeks (around NT$445 NT). There are several pay plans for reading the Times on a tablet or smart phone with the most expensive plan, which grants access from all kinds of devices, costing US$35 (NT$1035). Online readers without a subscription will be allowed to view 20 free stories a month and print subscribers get free access to all online content.

Townsend, Tennessee - Fly Fishing in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, East Tennessee and Western North Carolina
Welcome to the Fishing Report. It is overcast and 69 degrees in Townsend this morning. There was a noticeable lack of human activity when I drove to work. Visitors are here. The motel parking lots are full. People were just not outside earlier.
We got some rain around us but none fell here. Somewhere in the Little River Watershed rain did fall. The river level spiked up for a short time then dropped back to where it was yesterday morning. The Knoxville Airport received ¼ inch of rain during the past 24 hours.
Little River is flowing at 98 cubic feet per second (cfs) or 1.61 feet on the gauge. Median flow for this date is 89 cfs. The water temperature at 7:50 am is 70 degrees.
I think fishing is still pretty good in the Smoky Mountains though I don't remember talking to any customers yesterday who were returning from the Park. Fishing has certainly been very good during the past week. Anglers are doing best using a dry and dropper. Terrestrials are working well, flies like beetles, ants and Green Weenies.
Fishermen are out and about, that's for sure. I did talk to Joe yesterday. He and John floated the Clinch River last week and had a great time. He didn't mention how good the fishing was for them. With their skills, I'm sure it was good. I didn't have to ask.
Fishing for smallmouth bass in the lowland rivers has been very good. Lynn told me yesterday the bass are packed into pockets below riffles and feeding on nymphs. Josh is reporting good top-water action too.
We have been very busy this weekend so far. Don't forget, we are open today (Sunday) and tomorrow (Labor Day). August was a good month for us. Most of our customers live in the Eastern United States. Fishing has been good in many of those areas. I have been hearing that fly fishing on lakes has been off this year. I can vouch for that.
This Spring and early Summer, the tailwaters in our area were cranking so much water, many trout fishermen could not fish. That was not good for our business. But somehow, we managed to do well. I think it is because the freestone streams, though high at some times, offered excellent angling the other times. Water levels were up and down. There were weeks when those streams were just about the only option for fly fishermen.
We saw good business from states near the Appalachians. Mountain stream levels go up and down due to rain events but they do not stay stained very long. Most are on public land and there is almost no agriculture activity, which could cause days of discolored water conditions.
We have been in the mail order business for 17 years. Though we do have an online store, and we get orders every day, many of our customers call us to order. I look at every mail order transaction when I do the books daily. What I see, are a lot of people we have known for years. I can look you up in our point of sale computer system and see when you first visited our store. Many of you, who order from us, started out by first visiting in person. Our records go back to 1998 in the computer.
I don't think you could design a online store, run it up on the internet and expect much. Many of our mail order customers, are longtime friends. We met you first, in person. We must have made a good impression and you rewarded us with your business when you got home. That is the way our business model has worked for years.
There is also something else, a policy we started 19 years ago. We don't let you down. If something goes wrong, we fix it. If you don't like something you bought here, bring it back or mail it back.
Bill mentioned the other day, "I don't ever remember seeing a customer, who had a issue with something they bought, leave here dissatisfied." Bill has worked here several years. I don't think I've ever seen that happen either. Maybe we don't have something you want. But if you buy something, we stand behind it. If we do not have something you want, we'll try to get it for you.
We don't ever want to lose a customer. I've spent 19 years working with our team, past and present, and we all want to keep the customers we have. We want everybody to be happy.
Most of our manufacturers feel the same way. If they don't, we won't buy from them. When you have manufacturers who stand behind their products, it makes our job easier. Our customers are happier.
I feel fortunate to work with great people, buy from great people, and serve great people.
Thank you for being here and have a great day.

Wow that is crap! Another reason I don't fly anymore.
This is a discussion on SCOTUS Declines to Hear Airport Gun Arrest Appeal within the The Second Amendment & Gun Legislation Discussion forums, part of the Related Topics category; This Utah man got stranded in the Newark, NJ airport.

This Utah man got stranded in the Newark, NJ airport. He made a boo-boo and took possession of his luggage that contained a gun. The SCOTUS has declined to hear the appeal of his arrest.
Revell was flying from Salt Lake City to Allentown, Pa., on March 31, 2005, with connections in Minneapolis and Newark, N.J. He had checked his Utah-licensed gun and ammunition with his luggage in Salt Lake City and asked airport officials to deliver them both with his luggage in Allentown.
......................... Revell missed his connection to Allentown. The airline wanted to bus its passengers to Allentown, but Revell realized that his luggage had not made it onto the bus and got off. After finding his luggage had been given a final destination of Newark by mistake, Revell missed the bus. He collected his luggage, including his gun and ammunition, and decided to wait in a nearby hotel with his stuff until the next flight in the morning.
When Revell tried to check in for the morning flight, he again informed the airline officials about his gun and ammunition to have them checked through to Allentown. He was reported to the TSA, and then arrested by Port Authority police for having a gun in New Jersey without a New Jersey license.
Wow that is crap! Another reason I don't fly anymore.
My name is Frogman46 and I'm tougher than you.
I only fly a few times a year and this is unfortunately why I never bring my guns.
It's disappointing that the SCOTUS won't hear the case....why do states get away with this? The guy did not have any criminal intent AND the charges were dropped....
Magazine <> clip - know the difference
martyr is a fancy name for crappy fighter
You have never lived until you have almost died. For those that have fought for it, life has a special flavor the protected will never know
Because technically he broke the law, and the courts will not allow the defendant to sue if the Police acted in good faith and within the letter of the law. The police ultimatelty dropped the charges but they have the right to do that within the DA's discretion. It may be a sucky situation and not the defendants fault Per Se., but he was technically in violation of NJ state law and the Police in their discretion had the rights within the law to arrest him. Now I believe that the PA cops were not going to let a gun collar get past them as gun collars are big when it comes to officer jackets.
One more step and it's on!
According to the Appellate Court which affirmed his conviction, the issue was not NJ law but the fact that FOPA protection could not be used as an affirmative defense because he had "access" to the firearm while in the hotel. While he had no criminal intent, technically he was in violation of NJ law. I guess the court didn't want to open a can of worms by taking the case and possibly diluting existing law.
The way to avoid this is to leave your luggage at the airport if you get stuck in NJ. Then you don't have "access" which is the reason the appeals court affirmed the conviction. It sucks but that's NJ for you.
I won't get into the political aspect, except to point out that it would have taken only 4 justices to vote to hear the appeal, and there are at least that many justices who profess to be pro-gun owner; to be gun owners; blah blah etc.
Justice, in the sense of coming up with a punishment which fits the crime has not been served. Worse, they just opened the door to various states doing even more violence to the intention of the Federal travel law. Will LEOSA be next on the list of some states?
The Supremes may consist of a group of sportsmen and gun owners, but they are still insensitive to the needs of the concealed carry community.
While totally disgusting that the SC declined to hear the case, in effect, that is a ruling from them as well. It was also the correct decision. Ref. McDonald & Heller.
This may not bode too well for us and gun rights. It appears that any Heller/McDonald court challenge will need to be very specific and provable. The SC is not going to be easily persuaded to modify their decisions on Heller & McDonald.
The reason I say this is both Roberts and Scalia are known incrementalists. They do not like sweeping changes and both McDonald and Heller are prime examples. The Thomas opinion in McDonald SHOULD have been the majority opinion. However both Roberts and Scalia would not have gone along with that. Therefore it was up to Alito, and his watered down opinion that saved the day. Alito gave us a 5-4 victory, such as it is, rather than a 6-3 defeat.
There is already some case law relative to state law vs LEOSA. In the South Dakota incident the DA tried to pursue certain charges and they were thrown out pursuant to LEOSA.
"I do what I do." Cpl 'coach' Bowden, "Southern Comfort".
(I'm not affected by LEOSA, but I think it is an extremely important law because its existence shows that the Federal Govt. can indeed legislate a kind of national reciprocity if it wishes to do so.)
I can "kinda sorta" see why the Supremes didn't intervene, but they sure denied the defendant a common sense fair shake.
So... what would've been his options? Ask an airline clerk to store his luggage 'till the next day?

Common sense has long since gone by the wayside in some of the legal and political workings in this country.
