Griots Garage Wheel Cleaning Clay
Remove corrosive brake dust from wheels!
Griot's Garage Wheel Cleaning Clay completely cleans wheels to prevent pitting and restore a smooth shine to wheels. Detailing clay removes brake dust and stubborn grit from all wheel finishes. Griot's Garage Wheel Cleaning Clay is a key step in cleaning and protecting your wheels from corrosion.
Detailing clay works by removing contaminants that have become embedded in the wheel finish. Because these contaminants have often pierced the coating, regular cleaning and washing does not remove them. Only Griot's Garage Wheel Cleaning Clay grabs and removes wheel contaminants, like brake dust and industrial fallout, to leave the wheel surface slick and smooth. This totally clean surface is then ready for a wheel wax or sealant.
Why clay wheels? Brake dust is highly corrosive and capable of eating through clear coat, paint, and plating on wheels.
Griot's Garage Wheel Cleaning Clay removes brake dust to prevent pitting and corrosion.
Regular use of Griot's Garage Wheel Cleaning Clay will keep your wheels looking like new!
Griot's Garage Wheel Cleaning Clay works just like detailing clay for the paint. Use
Griot's Garage Speed Shine Detailer
as a clay lubricant. First clean each wheel. Then spray one wheel at a time with Speed Shine Detailer. Use a small piece of Griot's Garage Wheel Cleaning Clay to rub back and forth over the wet area until there is no drag. Wipe dry with a soft microfiber towel. Then use Griot's Garage Best of Show Wax or Paint Sealant. Refold the detailing clay bar often since you're likely to pull at lot of brake dust off the wheels.
Note: Griot's Garage Wheel Cleaning Clay should only be used on the wheels! Once used, it should never touch the paint because it will transfer brake dust to the paint.
Griot's Garage Wheel Cleaning Clay is safe on all wheel finishes. The large 7 ounce (200 gram) clay bar will clean many wheels depending upon the amount of contamination on the surface. Once you use Griot's Garage Wheel Cleaning Clay, your wheels will look shinier, smoother, and cleaner than ever before!

As with all clay you need to use lubricant. If you fail to use lubricant on any part, have fun getting the clay off your wheels. As for removing containment's I either have very clean wheels or it doesn't pick up much.

Wheel Cleaning Clay
September 1, 2012
I found this clay to be excessively soft sticky and difficult to use especially inside a wheel. Required a large amount of QD to keep it moving across the paint. It was able to clean off some of the really stuck on tar and brake dust that would not clean up with several other wheel cleaners.

Hudson has not named a new football coach, despite Internet reports claming former Gaither coach Mark Kantor had been offered the position, Cobras athletic director Keith Newton said Monday.
"That's not true," Newton said of rumors that Hudson hired Kantor, a former Cobras assistant.
Kantor confirmed to the Times that he had not been offered the position.
Hudson will post its job opening this week for the third time since head coach Justin Fenton resigned during Christmas break to spend more time with his family, Newton said.
Kantor, a Wharton assistant, was not among the applicants during the job advertisement's two windows. He said he applied Monday and could talk with Hudson officials as soon as Tuesday.
The initial applicants for Hudson's job were:
Phil Hayford (former Shorecrest Prep head coach). Hayford said Monday he was offered the Hudson job early last week but turned it down because the school was not close enough to his family in St. Petersburg.
Rick Kravitz (former USF assistant)
Jay Fulmer (former Gulf head coach)
Bill Berry
Mark Nash (former Hudson, Nature Coast head coach)
Josh Ballinger
Alvaro Muente
Pat Stewart (former college assistant)
Casey Moore
Hudson finished winless in Fenton's two years as head coach.
Ridgewood remains the other open football coaching vacancy in Pasco County after Kent Reed resigned in January for personal reasons. The Rams finished 1-9 last fall.
Athletic director Tom Wellington said Friday that the school has narrowed its search to a few finalists but that no decision has been made.
Both schools would like to fill the positions before the schools go on spring break next week.
Times staff writer John C. Cotey contributed to this report.

TweetDeck for iPad
REVIEW DATE : September 1, 2010
PROS: Free. Intuitive interface. Accurate geotagging.
Twitter is one of the premier social networking applications around, but it was designed for use with keyboards and cell phones; to get the most out of the 140-character-or-less micro-blogging movement on your Apple iPad ($829, ), you'll need a solid app designed for the tablet. That's where TweetDeck for iPad comes in; it adds Twitter functionality to Apple's slate in a way that's well-suited for use with the Apple iPad's 9.6-inch display and multi-touch capabilities. It has some minor issues, but if you want a more intuitive, feature-rich experience than what the Twitter Web site provides, this free app is a worthy download.
TweetDeck for iPad Setup
After I logged in with my Twitter credentials, I was presented with the option to go directly to the interface or to sign up to create an universal TweetDeck account that would let me sync created columns across all devices on which I have the app installed. Sync proved problematic as it didn't receive updated information.
Interface and Navigation
Tapping the name of a column lets you choose the refresh rate (between one minute and ten minutes). I like that I could scroll through the people I follow simply by flicking up or down, and the speed of which is governed by the speed of your gesture. Pulling a column downward reveals a search box. Tapping a contact opens a tweet in the large area above the columns where you can check out the person's name, twitter handle, location, bio, and last tweet. There are icons to reply, retweet, direct message, e-mail, and mark favorite tweets. Opened links appear in the area above the columns, but there isn't enough space to take in the entirety of a page; you must scroll up and down to view page content. You can simply tap "View in Safari" to check out the site in a Web browser.
Turning the iPad to a horizontal orientation affords less vertical space, but it lets you see the Direct Messages feed without flicking. Tapping a contact in this mode opens a menu that lets you reply, retweet, send a direct message, e-mail a tweet, and mark favorite messages, but you can't view profiles, which is a small gripe. Still, the overall experience is smooth and intuitive in both orientations.
Should You Tweet with TweekDeck for iPad?

A report has emerged suggesting that all most half of all Wi-Fi networks can be hacked in as little time as five seconds.
An insurance and protection company, CPP, commissioned a study into Wi-Fi security, and discovered that a total of 40,000 networks in the country could be easily hacked, while a quarter of all networks did not have even a basic password protecting them.
The experiment was conducted by 'ethical hacker' and senior vice president of CRYPTOCar Jason Hart, who travelled between major cities using 'WarDriving' kit. This essentially means a laptop, some software, a badly set-up Wi-Fi hotspot and some patience.
In the experiment the Hart was able to harvest 350 names in one hour, sitting in a town centre near coffee shops and restaurants. One of the most worrying aspects was that 200 people logged onto a fake Wi-Fi network over the course of an hour.
The biggest danger is the harvesting of data for identity theft and access to financial information.
CPP's identity theft expect Michael Lynch said, "This report is a real eye-opener in highlighting how many of us have a cavalier attitude to wi-fi use, despite the very real dangers posed by unauthorised use. We urge all wi-fi users to remember that any information they volunteer through public networks can easily be visible to hackers. It's vital they remain vigilant, ensure their networks are secure and regularly monitor their credit reports and bank statements for unsolicited activity."
Hart, who carried out the experiment said, "With the growth in the number of smartphones and wireless networks, it has become far easier for hackers to crack usernames and passwords, allowing them access to emails, social networks, and online banking sites and even to assume the online identity of their victim. It's vital that both businesses and individuals think very carefully about network security and what information they provide when going online."
Top tips to protect your network include, using WPA2 encryption rather than WEP, and not broadcasting your SSID if you can help it. If you have to, at least change it from the default and naturally, change the password too.

O'Reilly: "CNN has now entered the dark side with Media Matters"
Research ››› ››› BRIAN LEVY
During the September 25 broadcast of his nationally syndicated radio show, Fox News host Bill O'Reilly advised listeners to tune in to his Fox News program for "a great segment tonight" on how "CNN has now entered the dark side with Media Matters." O'Reilly further claimed that CNN "will use the far-left assassins," and "will prop them up." Later in the broadcast, O'Reilly referred to "another attack on me by another far-left, loony, smear website that CNN picked up."
On the September 24 edition of CNN's Out in the Open, host Rick Sanchez and CNN contributor Roland Martin discussed O'Reilly's recent statement -- documented by Media Matters for America -- that he was surprised "there was no difference between Sylvia's restaurant and any other restaurant in New York City ... even though [Sylvia's is] run by blacks." Sanchez stated that, during an "animated" phone conversation, O'Reilly denied any "racial intent" in his comments and described the story as "a hatchet job by Media Matters."
On his September 25 program, O'Reilly also said of CNN: "[T]his is so dishonest, it's so ridiculous and you know CNN -- I have never said anything bad about them. I made fun of [host] Larry King a little bit but, you know, in an affectionate way, 'cause they've usually been pretty good." In fact, as Media Matters noted, on the June 12 edition of his Fox News television program, O'Reilly attacked CNN for its coverage of the Iraq war, asserting: "In my opinion, CNN and especially MSNBC delight in showing Iraqi violence because they want Americans to think badly of President Bush." On his radio program the same day, O'Reilly said: "I'm taking an argument that CNN and MSNBC are actually helping the terrorists by reporting useless explosions."
From the September 25 broadcast of Westwood One's The Radio Factor with Bill O'Reilly:
O'REILLY: The kooks, the loons have a louder voice in this country right now than the 80 percent of Americans who know what's going on, and the reason is the Internet -- the mainstream media sympathizing and using the far-left loons, OK, to crash and burn any opposition. See, the real savvy people like [PBS journalist] Bill Moyers and [HDNet host] Dan Rather, you know, the real committed leftists, they don't want to get their hands dirty. They don't.
CNN -- we have a great segment tonight. You gotta watch it 'cause CNN has now entered the dark side with Media Matters, but CNN doesn't want to get its hands dirty. It will use the far-left assassins. It will prop them up. It will give them credibility. And that's why this [Iranian President Mahmoud] Ahmadinejad was so disconcerting, because no far-left loon wanted this guy to come over here.
O'REILLY: A lot of discussion tonight because our lead story is another attack on me by another far-left, loony, smear website that CNN picked up and you're going to want to see this. It is unbelievably absurd. But I got to tell you, when Mother Teresa gets attacked, then I have to put it in perspective. OK, that, you know -- and once in a while I feel sorry for myself, I have to admit it. I try not to. I say, look, this is so dishonest, it's so ridiculous and you know CNN -- I have never said anything bad about them.
I made fun of Larry King a little bit but, you know, in an affectionate way, 'cause they've usually been pretty good. I mean, NBC News is the worst. But now they're so desperate for ratings and they're doing so poorly that they have now jumped into this far-left, defamation Internet world, and it is -- we're going to answer it. We are going to answer it.

I never have the "luck" to run into SS, but I finally have a story! On Saturday I went to the bank, and just as I was getting to the counter, two small children ran in, promptly climbed on some chairs, reached AROUND the counter and grabbed a tub of suckers, and helped themselves to several each. They moved so quick, it looked like it wasn't the first time they had done it! The parents wandered in shortly after, but by that point they were running around, going in and out of empty offices, and then pulled down and entire stack of deposit slips from the self serve counter. I think there was one half hearted "stop that" from SS parent the whole time this was going on. I couldn't believe none of the staff did anything! I left before they did, but I wonder if they caused any further destruction.
The late teens/20ish idjit who just about ran me over on his skateboard at the shopping center the other day...right as he was rolling over the "No skateboards/rollerblades/rollerskates" signs on the sidewalk.

Warning for language though.https://medium.com/race-class/d778c31aa9beWe don't have a Whole Foods in the neighborhood but we have a Union Market. That's about the same. We shopped there once or twice when it first opened but no more. As in the story, staff members were very helpful and good-natured but, oh the customers! For some unknown reason, there are people who think paying $10 a pound for potato salad makes them masters of the universe. It may not be hip but we'll stick with places like C-Town or Key Food.

Back in the day, college football players pummeled one another to a springtime pulp with up to 30 days of full-contact practices. Perhaps a couple of newspaper guys showed up at the end of it all to crib a few quotes and jot down the stats from the official spring scrimmage.
Today, teams can work out only 15 times and full-contact tackling can occur in only eight of them, but the results are parsed via newspaper, television, social media and online message boards. Some teams take to the road for exhibitions-a la the Tar Heels going to Charlotte and Greensboro-and the spring-ending climatic event has morphed into a mini-version of a home Saturday in the fall. Alabama has drawn more than 90,000 fans at no charge for its spring game, Nebraska has attracted more than 65,000 playing $10 a head, and Carolina's high-water mark was 30,000 for its ESPN-televised 2010 Blue-White Game.
"Football has become a year-round sport now," says Tar Heel coach Larry Fedora. "As soon as basketball is basically over, everyone turns right back to football. You see it more and more around the country with spring football being a much bigger deal. There's more excitement and hoopla than ever."
Brian Chacos was a Tar Heel offensive lineman from 2002-06 and now is on the Rams Club staff in a marketing and fan development role. He and his staff set up a tent at Grimsley High in Greensboro April 4 to promote season ticket sales and visit with fans before and during the Tar Heels' intra-squad scrimmage that evening. "When I played, we had 14 practices at Navy Field in Chapel Hill and beat each other up for a month, and then had the spring game in Kenan Stadium," Chacos says. "There was no real fanfare or excitement around it. Now the spring game and the scrimmages out of town are ways to market the program to recruits and season-ticket buyers and keep football out front 12 months a year."
Adds Rick Steinbacher, another former Tar Heel football player and now an associate athletic director, "Sports aren't as restricted by seasons as much anymore. Obviously, there is still a 'playing season,' but the media coverage, attention and interest is a 12-month thing now. We went from the football season and a little bit of spring football to now spring football being part of a year-around experience.
"For our spring game, we're trying to build game-day traditions like we have in the fall. Today we treat our spring game like it's the first game of the 2014 season."
Spring football games at Carolina have taken on various forms and formats the last quarter century.
Mack Brown preferred a controlled scrimmage with no score kept. Carl Torbush once tried to jazz the proceedings up by inviting walk-on candidates from fraternities to take the field on the kick-off cover team, hoping to create a "12th-man" tradition a la Texas A&M. That idea fizzled when one of the young men tore up his knee. John Bunting liked to anoint two captains, hold a player draft and stage as much of a lifelike game as possible, the losers eating hot dogs and having to wash cars for charity. Butch Davis invited youngsters to run a 100-yard wind sprint with players at the end of his first Blue-White Game in 2007, then the kids could get autographs from the players and a special-guest contingent of NFL alumni that included Dré Bly of the Denver Broncos, Alge Crumpler of the Atlanta Falcons, William Henderson of the Green Bay Packers and Jeb Terry of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
The buzz reached its high water mark in 2010 when ESPN offered to telecast the game as part of its expanded campus presence in April, and as a way to kick-start promotion for Carolina's season-opener against LSU in Atlanta in August. The network had begun covering spring games in 2007 and in 2008 it staged a spring GameDay Live from Gainesville before the University of Florida spring game. Some 30,000 fans filled most every crevice of the north and west seating areas in Kenan Stadium on a brilliant April afternoon.
"To have 20,000 to 30,000 fans show up today was phenomenal," cornerback Kendric Burney said. "As a player, it makes you want to work that much harder the next five months. Fans don't realize how much impact they have on players."
The introduction of a new head coach and his up-tempo spread offense was an ideal hook in 2012 to ratchet up the spring game experience a few notches. More than 15,000 Carolina fans descended on the Chapel Hill campus for a spring fest of country music from ex-linebacker Chase Rice, kids' photos with Rameses, autographs from the players and concessions ranging from venerable Eastern North Carolina barbecue to a pizza truck that sold salami, pistachios and smoke gouda mixed on the same pie. Fedora has even auctioned off "coach for a day" positions to a pair of fans-giving them locker room and sideline access and the chance to call a play or two.
"It was a great crowd today, a lot of students showed up," tailback Giovani Bernard said. "We had great support."
And it's not just spring football itself that's risen in public awareness-it's the annual pro timing day as well. In March 2011, some hundred-odd NFL scouts, head coaches, assistants and general managers convened at Navy Field on a cool, gray morning to watch The Greatest Show on Turf-Johnny White dashing to 4.53 time in the forty, T.J. Yates completing 98.2 percent of his passes and Robert Quinn pounding 24 reps at 225 pounds and running a 4.59 sprint to boot.
"Boy, what do they have in the water around here?" wondered Joe Vitt, the New Orleans Saints linebackers coach.
One of Fedora's challenges when he went to Southern Miss in 2008 was to raise the Golden Eagles' profile against in-state rivals and SEC members Ole Miss and Mississippi State, and one way to do that was to take spring scrimmages outside of Hattiesburg. In 2009 he began taking one scrimmage north into the Jackson area and a second one south to the coast, to Biloxi or Ocean Springs. That concept transferred well to Carolina by moving the Tar Heels to Charlotte and Greensboro.
It's a lot of man-hours for sure, picking up a team and its medical, video, equipment and coaching staffs and moving them off-campus. But it's worth it. Having more of a game-day atmosphere hones the players' focus and the road shows are innovative outreach to fans, high school coaches and recruits.
"I think it's a great idea," says receivers coach Gunter Brewer, whose in-state recruiting focus is the Charlotte area. "If you're going to change the culture around a program, you've got to be willing to try new things, new ideas, different approaches. Going to Greensboro and Charlotte make a statement that it's not the same-old around our program."
NCAA rules prohibit one school playing another in the spring, but a team could play an alumni team or a team made of other students. The idea of a scrimmage or mock game against another school, similar to the NFL's practice of training camp scrimmages with other teams, has been floated for years among coaches and NCAA administrators.
Alabama's Nick Saban and Oklahoma's Bob Stoops have been against the idea, saying spring is for developing young players and that playing another team would divert that focus and perhaps create more off-season injury issues. Other coaches like Michigan's Brady Hoke and Harvard's Tim Murphy note that basketball, soccer and field hockey scrimmage against other schools prior to their first games, and cross-school exhibitions could be a means to generate revenue.
For now, there's nothing concrete brewing along those lines, but you never know as revenue generation becomes more important and seasons spread to more niches on the calendar. Meanwhile, Carolina will hold its annual Blue-White Game Saturday at 3 p.m. in Kenan Stadium with an array of entertainment and dining options and with football followed by fireworks and the Tar Heels' baseball game at 6 p.m. against Wake Forest.
"We're trying to make our fan base understand that football is a 12-month a year deal," Chacos says. "We want to see them treat the spring game like it's a game in the fall and we're doing our best to make the experience worth the trip."

Saturday Night Live-related movies don't often come with positive buzz. But could MacGruber be an exception?
The restricted trailer doesn't look so shabby. You've got a fun cast that includes Will Forte, Kristen Wiig, Val Kilmer (yes!) and Powers Boothe. It features plenty of action and a bit of '80s-style silliness. As Cinematical points out, MacGruber's "'running from an explosion' image is so much cooler than The A-Team's 'running from an explosion' image."
Note that the NSFW clip includes salty language. You can watch it here or below, though that will probably be removed soon.
MacGruber opens April 23.

Hi Matt,
I've tried in Math 5.2 what you're asking for.
I get no problem:
In[1]:= sol={Subscript[x, a_]®a x };
\!\(\(sol2 = {x\_a_ \[Rule] x^a};\)\)
In[2]:= \!\(x\_5 /. sol\)
Out[2]= 5 x
In[3]:= Subscript[x,5]/.sol
Out[3]= 5 x
In[4]:= \!\(x\_5 /. sol2\)
Out[4]= \!\(x\^5\)
In[5]:= Subscript[x,5]/.sol2
Out[5]= \!\(x\^5\)

larger community fish
I have a 55 gallon tank that I'm just beginning to stock. So far I have 10 neon tetras and 6 zebra danios. I was realizing that all the fish I'm planning on getting are all going to be approximately the same size- between 1.5" and 2.5".
I'm planning on getting glow light tetra, black phantom tetra, 6 female bettas, and some julii cories.
I would like at least one type of fish that's a bit larger as all of those fish grow to be about the same size. I would like to get some dwarf gourami but I can't because of the bettas. I was advised against angelfish because they could potentially eat my other smaller fish when they are full sized. Any other ideas? Thanks!
Group of swordtails? Couple of twig catfish or bristlenose plecos? Group of smaller rainbow fish?
dwarf neon rainbows would look stunning and fit in with the crowd
German rams
Any fish that gets bigger then your other ones will always pose a threat to the small fish no matter what the temperament. If it can fit in its mouth, there's a good chance it will eat it.
The only way I know of to keep a big fish from eating smaller ones is to feed it 100% flake or pellet food. No blood worms or other live/frozen food. I've seen big oscars that were raised on pellets and flake food that won't even think of eating a small fish.
That being said, sevrums can be pretty nice to have in a tank. They are pretty docile (especially if its a single one). I had a redhead sevrum (heros sp. rotkiel) in an oddly stocked community tank and it was great with the rest of the fish and never hurt a soul.
Keyhole cichlids get about 4 inches and are sweet as can be (for cichlids; they have their moments, but nothing too out of line).
I would go with albino bristlenose plecos. They stand out a lot and get a good size for something bigger in the tank.

can a rotary pump be switched to a inline pump on a 4bt and which is better do both have fuel adjustment screws to increase or decrease fuel ? thank you
can a rotary pump be switched to a inline pump on a 4bt and which is better do both have fuel adjustment screws to increase or decrease fuel ? thank you
To answer your first question yes. To change pumps you will need the inline pump, drive gear, new timing case housing, pump support bracket, oil feed line to the pump, new injection lines, injectors, new lift pump and possibly pistons. It would not be termed a cheap conversion. I mentioned the pistons because inline engine generally have different combustion bowls in the piston but the others have been used ok.
As for which is better, it depends on where you're going with the engine. The VE rotary pump was used on about 95% of all the road use 4bt's. It is a fairly simple pump and replacing seals is not a major affair. It can be modified to produce a lot of power for not too much cash outlay. Adjusting the pump timing is not too difficult and as you noted you have all kinds of screws to adjust and tweek to your heart's content. The inline pump on the other hand has none the screws. Fuel metering is handled by the pump but there are mods that can be made. For more fuel you can change the delivery valves or adjust or change the cam plate in the pump. Inline pumps were available on 4bts in several types and models. There were "A" pumps found on industrial engines as well as P3000 pumps. The gold standard of the inlines is the P7100. That's the one everyone wants. These can be tuned for extreme performance. The P pump generally has the best reliability history and can deliver better fuel economy, but it comes at a cost. I have seen new VE pumps for sale in the $700-1000 range. If you bought a new P7100 you'd be looking at 3 times that amount. Just recently there were 2 Cummins rebuilt P7100's sold on ebay and they went for about $1600 each which I thought was quite reasonable. There was a P7100 take off complete with all the accessories except injectors which brought about $2000. That was getting close to what some like to pay for a complete 4bt. If you ran down to the local Cummins store and gave them the list of parts for a complete change over you'd probably be staring at $5000 worth that you could carry out in your two hands. Most of the guys who build really high performance engines go the P pump route but there's nothing wrong with the VE.
thank you

The news meant that the beleaguered sport would go at least 34 years without a Triple Crown winner.
Ligety fell short and Miller pulled off a Triple Crown, winning bronze, silver, and gold.
As the wait for another Triple Crown champion continues, a question lingers.
Finishing the Triple Crown with the Belmont is like concluding a triathlon with a marathon.
Most of these have the symbols of the four Evangelists, the Triple Crown, and crossed keys.
Before him are borne the Triple Crown and other Pontifical ornaments.
A veil of old English point was fastened to her head by a Triple Crown of pearls, and falling to her feet, quite covered her.
The Triple Crown of the popes is more commonly called the tiara.
Adrian's head; too; languishes beneath the Triple Crown but twenty months.
I have heard him say that the offer of the Triple Crown could not have tempted him to change his life.

Whats the use of an apple product? i dont get it. I will sit with itunes on a pc to be able to use it? You must be kidding me, theres nothing to envy in an apple product, and affording them is not a problem, i could pay my Note II cash straight up $749 so then i think i can afford an iphone5 at $199. It never occurred to you that we use android because its better and has superior hardware to choose from?
And again, most of all, it has no restrictions and does not depend on itunes to be used. Theres nothing to desire and you think we are jelous, how is it possible to be so ignorant? Your post written in a victorious tone was just pathetic, i truly feel pity for you.
Anonymous, 11 Nov 2012i do not care, i love apple,ios,powerful headphones output. i am not isheep, i have a passion,... morereal passion for mediocrity
I own a nexus 7 and just got my hands on iPad mini. Well mini looks and feels stunning. Nexus 7 is high in specs but mini is just enough with the provided specs. The screen resolution is good. There is not a big difference between retina display and this one. Navigation is extremely smooth, sound is good and iPad apps are far superior than nexus 7 apps. Overall I am glad I bought this device.
[deleted post]The price argument in my opinion has been argued so badly from both sides. I don't for example, believe that people who buy Ferraris stay at home crying due to unhappiness, at the same time, I wouldn't say someone who bought something due to value, a poor person. Value is not determined by price alone, and at the end of the day, it is determined by the buyer, due to various factors. iOS and Android provide rather different experiences, or very similar experiences, depending on what you look at, and in the end market forces determine the end result. So everyone chill out, buy what you like, and enjoy!
only thing i like in apple is its products external looks .....wonderful but inside awful .... though this looks a bit like samsung 7.7" tab
Anonymous, 11 Nov 2012One of my posts was deleted also, but im not surprised. And you should not be surprised at all... morefrustrated? hahahaha!! look who is talking!! i am shamed to show myself in public with a samsung or any android device.i have owned for a while a sgs2 and i have hidden it in public every time. i am proud and full satisfied of my apple devices and i am showing off in public with them because i know you envy me
brnare, 11 Nov 2012just make it $99 and i will buy it.!iphone 3g is 100$ on 2nd hand market,if it looks and works impecable,neverlocked. iphone 3gs is 200$ at 2nd hand in the same pristine conditions. so you have to wait 5-6 years to find an ipad mini at 100$. at that time you may be dead. live your life and buy it now
Rams, 11 Nov 2012I am surprised there is no mention of low RAM at 512 MB.If I am not wrong Nexus 7 and Kindle F... moreYes exactly it has only 512 mb hardware is SOOO outdated
This one of overpriced and Main disadvantages shows how terrible this table is for the price the ask....
Main disadvantages
- Only 512 mb, 7" Android tablets have 1 GB
- Mono speakers
- More expensive than 7" Android tablets, only $70 cheaper than iPad 2
- No Retina display, 162ppi only
- Same chipset as iPad 2, now two generations old
- iTunes still required for most of the content uploads
- Reflective screen struggles outdoors
- No standard USB port, Lightning accessories still rare and expensive
- No GPS receiver in the Wi-Fi version
- No memory card slot
- Lack of basic iOS apps - weather, stocks, calculator, voice memos
On page 5 you can see that iPad mini is better than nexus 7 in 3 benchmarks but nexus 7 is better in 3 benchmarks and in drop tests iPad mini is the winner too and the design of iPad mini(aluminium) is very much better the nexus 7 design(plastic).but there is some problems with iPad mini.1-High price.2-lower resolution.3-a bit weaker chipset.But at the end I don't prefer both because they are small and I prefer to have a big tablet and the best choice now is
iPad 4.
I have owned a 16G Black WiFi iPad mini for a few days now, and a) The sound quality is superb. b) The screen is fine and all these comparisons with the retina display are a waste of time. The thin form factor, build quality and featherweight design are priceless benefits that make the iPad mini the first tablet that is what all tablets should be like - the only negative being the lack of a high resolution stylus option. But Apple have filed a patent for a stylus technology so perhaps they will release one as an accessory?
I am surprised there is no mention of low RAM at 512 MB.If I am not wrong Nexus 7 and Kindle Fire HD have 1 GM RAM with no inferior hardware, perhaps, with better hardware. The only thing is that they boast 7 inch screen. An 8 inch screen would be a perfect paperback book size making it ideal for e books. Of course, i Pad mini is slimmer and lightweight. But that doesn't stop me craving for more RAM. I am still undecided about what to buy Nexus 7 (because of its monstrous hardware) Kindle Fire HD because of its all round multimedia capabilities with exceptional speakers.
[deleted post]One of my posts was deleted also, but im not surprised. And you should not be surprised at all, since you used the BS word about android users. Its unfortunate that apple fans more often have their posts deleted in threads like these, it kind of kills down healthy discussion, several of you always have to resort to using harsh/bad words, and show anger against fair critics.
I guess the anger comes from frustration over the restricted gadgets you own, as you can see we android users are not frustrated and dont easily resort to bad words, see so happy and balanced we are? LoL

Anonymous, 10 Nov 2012Why you angry man? Try to relax, dont get carried away. Its a fact that apple users have more ... morei do not care, i love apple,ios,powerful headphones output. i am not isheep, i have a passion, a real passion for their products
Even though I'm fandroid honstley ipad mini way better thannexus 7 and samsung ttab7.7. Android with all these HD resulation and powerful chipset came with nexus 7 still can't beat ipad mini in terms of performance.
Finally.. A blog that recognize that the one year old Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7 is one the iPad Mini main competition. Especially considering it has almost the same dimension as tne Mini. Plus the better resolution, Super Amoled screen, SD card expansion.. And.. t is also a phone! Oh wait.. Apple successfully banned the Tab 7.7 across Europe. There goes the competition..
Someone, 10 Nov 2012I hate to break it to you folks but here's the reality.
As the review said, the iPad Mini h... morepeople who bought this device are:
1)people who have owned apple products before and HAVEN'T USED ANYTHING ELSE.
2)people who want to show off with their apple fruit logo.

George Michael was taken to hospital by ambulance after falling ill at home, it has emerged.
Paramedics went to the 50-year-old singer's house in north London on Thursday last week following a 999 call made by a friend.
A London Ambulance Service spokesman said: "We were called just before 8am on May 22. We sent two ambulance crews and staff treated one patient, a man, who was taken to hospital."
In a statement, the singer's agent said: "George Michael was in hospital for routine tests but there is nothing further to say."
A man arriving at Michael's home today played down the seriousness of his "sudden collapse" last week.
The man, in his forties and dressed in a track suit, who pulled up in a Land Rover Freelander before going into the house, said the singer was "perfectly fine". He added: "We've been working down at Air Studios round the corner in Hampstead. That's where we do all the recordings. He's been mixing a demo tape over the weekend."
Michael — whose real name is Georgios Kyriacos Panayiotou — nearly died in late 2011 when he was struck down with pneumonia in Vienna.
In May last year, he was airlifted to hospital with a head injury after falling from his vehicle on the M1.
He has also had health scares and run-ins with the police linked to his drug use. In September 2010, he received an eight-week jail sentence after crashing his Range Rover into a north London shop the previous July.
He was also given a five-year driving ban after he pleaded guilty to driving under the influence of drugs and possessing cannabis.
In 2006 he was banned from driving for two years and sentenced to 100 hours of community service for driving while unfit through drugs, after he was found collapsed in his Mercedes.Reuse content

Transforming a puzzling patchwork of disjointed legacy applications to an integrated yet flexible suite may seem a daunting task.
But it's a goal the Ontario government is well on its way to achieving thanks to its new Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) initiative.
SOA is a software architectural concept that defines the use of services to support the requirements of software users. Stressing virtues of interoperability and reusability, SOA promises greater flexibility and responsiveness in data systems and the business processes they support.
In Ontario, the new SOA framework will reuse systems for common business processes and make the government's IT infrastructure more flexible to adapt to changes in government programs, and even changes in governments.
Ron Huxter, chief technology officer in Ontario's Ministry of Government Services, used an IBM Canada breakfast on SOA best practices in Toronto last month to outline the government's blueprint. He said one key driver for moving to SOA was the need to be more agile. "We have 200 to 300 different lines of business

Cabarrus cities look to Albemarle for future water needs
Albemarle could sell Concord and Kannapolis up to 5 million gallons of water per day as soon as 2013, according to a $21 million plan to construct an 84,000-foot water line to the Stanly County city, which has water intakes on the Yadkin River.
Concord Mayor Scott Padgett and Kannapolis Mayor Bob Misenheimer called a meeting Wednesday between all three city councils — a historic event and the culmination of years of work to find alternative water sources for the future.
All three councils must vote on the agreement to make it final and move forward with the design and construction of the water line, city officials said.
City managers from all three cities opened the meeting describing both the need for another water source in Concord and Kannapolis and the benefit to Albemarle in selling to the two cities.
"We found out not only do we have problems for the future, but we also have a problem in yield in our current reservoir," Concord City Manager Brian Hiatt said.
Kannapolis City Manager Mike Legg said the two cities would need about 36 million gallons of water daily by 2035.
During the recent drought, both cities added connections — Concord connected to Charlotte's system and Kannapolis to Salisbury's.
Raymond Allen, city manager for Albemarle said selling water to Concord and Kannapolis would help defray the cost of maintaining the city's system and future improvements to it.
"We're using about a third of our treatment capacity," Allen said, adding that the city sells water to the majority of Stanly County.
"Under the sales arrangement with Concord and Kannapolis, we could spread our fixed costs over a larger base," Allen said. "If we had the additional revenue from the sale to Concord and Kannapolis… there would be additional funds for maintenance, the city could also retire the debt service for its portion of the line."
Allen said the Yadkin River is the second largest river basin in North Carolina, but still has a relatively small demand on it.
The proposed water line would run parallel to N.C. 49 from an existing 30-inch stub near the intersection of N.C. 49 and Main Street in Richfield to the end of an existing 30-inch line near the
Cabarrus Arena and Events Center, at the intersection N.C. 49 and Old Airport Road. A portion of the water line will be constructed along Fisher Road, Moose Road, and N.C. 73 to avoid any major impact to existing development along N.C. 49.
Albemarle would pay for 25 percent of the $21 million water line and Concord and Kannapolis would equally split the remaining 75 percent of the cost.
Albemarle is looking for new customers for its water service after losing several industrial customers with the decline of North Carolina's textile industry over the last three decades.
Albemarle Mayor Elbert Whitley said he's concerned about future water needs and getting an increase in the city's allocation. Whitley said he thought Concord and Kannapolis should apply for an allocation from the Yadkin before going ahead with the project.
Engineering and city officials said the two Cabarrus County cities could not get an allocation for water until they have an intake agreement with Albemarle because otherwise they have no access to the water.
The proposed agreement would allow the two cities to buy water from Albemarle for $1.58 per 1,000 gallons, according to Concord city officials.
That's the lowest rate Albemarle offers, according to Ernest Borders, the city's utilities director.
"We're talking about reserving 5 million gallons a day of water," Borders said. "We can do that fairly easily. We have options for a future agreement of 10 million gallons per day. We wanted a flexible agreement. We don't want something so rigid we can't work with it. The agreement initially talks about 30 years with automatic extensions of 20 years."
Borders said the cities would open discussions about future water sales before Kannapolis and Concord reach 10 million daily.
"When we're approaching the 8 million gallon per day mark, we're going to start talking about what we've got to do as far as expansion," Borders said.
All three city councils must approve the agreement to build the water line with a vote. Padgett said that could happen as soon as June, allowing the design phase of the project to begin this summer.

Several maps show this piece of land extending to the banks of the South Fork of the Teton, but other ownership maps show that this parcel stops short of the river. I would like to know if I can access the Teton River there.
The IDFG property at Beaver Dick does not extend up to the Teton River. Most of our property lies south of Highway 33, and there is a parcel of BLM that gets close to the Teton, but it doesn't actually touch the Teton. You can use a boat to go upstream and reach the Teton if you choose.

Does Tim Tebow Expect God to Do ALL the Work?
January 1, 2012 at 7:50 PM Leave a comment
I live in the Denver area and I can tell you that the local sports shows aren't at all happy with the Denver Broncos tonight. This is the kind of thing I'm hearing (as in a lot of irritation):
Whatever swagger the Denver Broncos had following their six-game win streak has flown out the window. The offensively offense-less Broncos lost 3-7 to the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 17, dropping their third straight game to finish the 2011 season 8-8.
Tim Tebow's fourth quarter magic has been noticeably missing of late. … His fumble in the second quarter within striking distance of the Chiefs' end zone was an even larger game-killer. Tebow finished 6 for 22 for 60 yards and an interception.
6 for 22? In one game? Really?
Is the guy even trying?
Does he expect God to do all the work?

Juicy J
Juicy J (born Jordan Houston) and DJ Paul (Paul Beauregard) first came together at the dawn of the '90s, when they worked as DJs in the Memphis area. The two soon began producing their own tracks and invited numerous Memphis rappers to rap over the beats. They released the resulting tracks locally as Triple 6 Mafia; years later these recordings would resurface as re-releases. In 1995, the loose collective changed its name to Three 6 Mafia and self-released its debut album, Mystic Stylez. The album became an underground success, and Three 6 Mafia, in turn, signed a distribution deal with Relativity for its Hypnotized Minds imprint. Throughout the late '90s, Juicy J and DJ Paul produced numerous albums a year for Hypnotized Minds and capitalized on the lucrative distribution deal. By the end of the decade, the two producers were at the helm of an empire, having extended their brand to alarming lengths, culminating with their commercial breakthrough album, When the Smoke Clears (2000), which debuted at number six on Billboard's album chart.
He launched his solo career during a break in Three 6 Mafia's usually busy recording schedule, releasing the hardcore effort Chronicles of the Juice Man: Underground Album in 2002. Gucci Mane, Gorilla Zoe, and Webbie all appeared on the 2009 follow-up, Hustle Til I Die. Two years later, Juicy became part owner of Wiz Khalifa's Taylor Gang imprint and released "Bandz a Make Her Dance" on the label in 2012. The single landed on his third solo album, 2013's Stay Trippy, which was released through Dr. Luke's Sony-owned imprint Kemosabe Records. It debuted at number four on the Billboard 200 album chart and was supported with a U.S. tour co-headlined with A$AP Ferg. That same year he appeared on Katy Perry's number one hit "Dark Horse," while 2014 saw him drop the single "Low" featuring Nicki Minaj, Young Thug, and Lil Bibby, as well as a contribution to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles reboot "Shell Shocked," with Wiz Khalifa, Ty Dolla $ign, and Madsonik. "For Everybody" followed in 2015 and featured Wiz Khalifa along with R. City, then his solo mixtape 100% Juice dropped that same year.
In 2016, TGOD Mafia: Rude Awakening, his collaborative effort with Khalifa and producer TM88, was issued. The mixtape was released by Atlantic and debuted at number 26 on the Billboard 200.

Thank you, Norman [Reimer], for those kind words -- and for your exemplary leadership as Executive Director of the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers. It's a pleasure to share the stage with you this morning. And it's a great privilege to stand with dedicated leaders like NACDL President Jerry Cox and so many distinguished jurists, passionate public servants, members of the defense bar, and engaged citizens.
I want to thank this organization's entire leadership team, staff, and membership for bringing us together this morning -- and for everything this group has done, in the 57 years since your founding, to help expand access to justice; to strengthen the rule of law; and to draw America's legal system ever closer to the values -- of equality, opportunity, and justice -- that have defined our profession, and shaped this nation, for more than two and a quarter centuries.
Since 1958, the attorneys and staff of NACDL have exemplified the finest traditions of service and advocacy, striving to ensure justice and due process for those who stand accused of crime and misconduct. You've long stood at the forefront of our efforts to improve the administration of justice for all litigants. And you've worked tirelessly to educate practitioners, the public, and the judiciary about matters ranging from mass incarceration to the indigent defense crisis -- consistently standing up and speaking out for populations that are too often overlooked and too often underserved.
Especially today, as we commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Criminal Justice Act of 1964 -- a landmark measure President Lyndon Johnson signed into law half a century ago this month to codify the Sixth Amendment right to counsel -- it's appropriate that we pause to reflect on the invaluable contributions, and the many sacrifices, that this Association's members and so many others have made to ensure equality under the law. But it's just as important that we mark this anniversary, and honor the legacy of the Supreme Court's historic decision in Gideon v. Wainwright, by recommitting ourselves to the work that remains unfinished -- and the significant challenges now before us.
As we speak -- more than five decades after Gideon , and 50 years after the Criminal Justice Act established a framework for compensating attorneys who serve indigent federal defendants -- millions of Americans remain unable to access or afford the legal assistance they need. Far too many hardworking public defenders are overwhelmed by crushing caseloads or undermined by a shameful lack of resources. And it's clear that, despite the progress we've seen over the years, a persistent and unacceptable "justice gap" remains all too real. It poses a significant threat to the integrity of our criminal justice system. And meeting this threat will require bold action and renewed efforts from legal professionals of all stripes.
As my predecessor, Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy, reminded a gathering of legal professionals 50 years ago next week, it's incumbent upon us to ensure that "the scales of our legal system measure justice, not wealth." That's why this Administration -- and this Justice Department in particular -- is committed to doing everything in our power to address the indigent defense crisis. Over the last four years, in spite of sequestration and other deep budget cuts, the Department of Justice has committed more than $24 million in grants, initiatives, and direct assistance to support indigent defense work around the country. The President's budget request for Fiscal Year 2015 would do even more in this regard. And thanks to the hardworking men and women of the Department's Access to Justice Initiative -- an office I launched over four years ago to improve access to counsel, increase legal assistance, and bolster justice delivery systems -- we're working closely with state, local, tribal and federal officials, as well as members of the bench and bar, to extend our outreach efforts; and to broaden access to quality representation in both the criminal and civil justice systems.
Last summer, we took a significant step forward by filing a Statement of Interest in a class action lawsuit -- Wilbur v. City of Mount Vernon -- asserting that the federal government has a strong interest in ensuring that all jurisdictions are fulfilling their obligations under Gideon . In December, in a pivotal decision, the U.S. District Court found that there had, in fact, been a systemic deprivation of the right to counsel -- and mandated the appointment of a public defender supervisor to monitor the quality of indigent defense representation. These and similar efforts will help us meet our constitutional and moral obligations to administer a legal system that matches its demands for accountability with a commitment to due process. And they are only the beginning.
Moving forward, we must continue to come together -- across aisles that divide counsel tables and political parties -- to ensure that America has a criminal justice system that's worthy of its highest ideals. To make certain that those who pay their debts to society have fair opportunities to become productive, law-abiding citizens. And to empower justice professionals to meet 21 st -century crime challenges with 21 st -century solutions.
With this goal in mind -- one year ago -- I launched a new "Smart on Crime" initiative, which includes a series of targeted, data-driven reforms that are designed to advance these goals. Since that time, my colleagues and I have implemented a range of meaningful changes -- by increasing our focus on proven diversion and reentry strategies; by making criminal justice expenditures both smarter and more productive; and by moving decisively away from outdated and overly-stringent sentencing regimes.
I want to be very clear: we will never stop being vigilant in our pursuit of justice and our determination to ensure that those who break the law are held rigorously to account. But years of intensive study -- and decades of professional experience -- have shown that we will never be able to prosecute and incarcerate our way to becoming a safer nation.
As you know, the Smart on Crime initiative has led us to revise the Justice Department's charging policies with regard to mandatory minimum sentences for certain federal, drug-related crimes -- so that sentences will be determined based on the facts, the law, and the conduct at issue in each individual case. This means that the toughest penalties will now be reserved for the most serious criminals. Over the last few months -- with the Department's urging -- the U.S. Sentencing Commission has taken additional steps to codify this approach, amending federal sentencing guidelines for low-level drug trafficking crimes to reduce the average sentence by nearly 18 percent. Going forward, these new guidelines will impact almost 70 percent of people who are convicted of these offenses. And last month, the Commission voted to allow judges to apply these revised guidelines retroactively in cases where reductions are warranted.
Now, some have suggested that these modest changes might somehow undermine the ability of law enforcement and prosecutors to induce cooperation from defendants in federal drug cases. But the reality is that nothing could be further from the truth.
Like anyone who served as a prosecutor in the days before sentencing guidelines existed and mandatory minimums took effect, I know from experience that defendant cooperation depends on the certainty of swift and fair punishment, not on the disproportionate length of a mandatory minimum sentence. As veteran prosecutors and defense attorneys surely recall -- and as our U.S. Attorney for the Western District of Wisconsin, John Vaudreuil, has often reminded his colleagues -- sentencing guidelines essentially systematized the kinds of negotiations that routinely took place in cases where defendants cooperated with the government in exchange for reduced sentences. With or without the threat of a mandatory minimum, it remains in the interest of these defendants to cooperate. It remains in the mutual interest of defense attorneys and prosecutors to engage in these discussions. And any suggestion that defendant cooperation is somehow dependent on mandatory minimums is plainly inconsistent with the facts and with history.
Far from impeding the work of federal prosecutors, these sentencing reforms that I have mandated represent the ultimate expression of confidence in their judgment and discretion. That's why I've called on Congress to expand upon and further institutionalize the changes we've put in place -- so we can better promote public safety, deterrence, and rehabilitation while saving billions of dollars and reducing our overreliance on incarceration.
Beyond this work, my colleagues and I are also striving to restore justice, fairness, and proportionality to those currently involved with our justice system through an improved approach to the executive clemency process. In April, the Department announced new criteria that we will consider when recommending clemency applications for President Obama's review. This will allow us to consider requests from a larger field of eligible individuals -- who have clean prison records, who do not present threats to public safety, and who were sentenced under out-of-date laws that are no longer seen as appropriate.
I'm pleased to report that we've already established an extensive and rigorous screening mechanism. We've facilitated efforts to engage assistance from pro bono attorneys, including many in this bar. We have detailed a number of lawyers within the Justice Department to temporary assignments in the Pardon Attorney's Office. And we've taken important steps to establish a process by which we will consult with the U.S. Attorney's Office and the trial judges who handled each original case -- so we can evaluate every clemency application in the appropriate context.
I am particularly grateful for the assistance of dedicated criminal defense attorneys in and beyond this room -- as well as nonprofit lawyers -- who have stepped forward to answer the call for experienced pro bono counsel. As our process unfolds, these associated groups, including NACDL, and individuals -- who stand more than a thousand attorneys strong, and call themselves "Clemency Project 2014" -- will work with incarcerated people who appear to meet our criteria and request the assistance of a lawyer.
Your efforts in this regard -- and your partnership in strengthening our criminal justice system across the board -- have been in keeping with the most critical obligation entrusted to every member of our profession: not merely to represent clients or win cases, but to see that justice is done. Every day, in courtrooms from coast to coast, criminal defense attorneys take on cases that are fraught with difficulty and often controversy -- because you understand that, for our criminal justice system to function at all, every accused individual must have effective representation. And every defendant's right to due process must be guaranteed.
Yet with the integral role that defense attorneys play in our justice system comes a tremendous responsibility: to uphold the highest standards of conduct in every single case. Prosecutors and defense lawyers can agree that we all must act in good faith in discovery, including refraining from alleging discovery violations as a routine practice. Our overburdened court system is ill-served by such unfounded tactics. And the interests of justice demand that legal professionals look to their ultimate obligations: to strengthen the system as a whole; to address the disparities and divides that harm our society; to confront conditions and choices that breed crime and violence; and to harness innovative tools -- and new technologies -- in effective and responsible ways.
Over the past decade, we've seen an explosion in the practice of using aggregate data to observe trends and anticipate outcomes. In fields ranging from professional sports, to marketing, to medicine; from genomics to agriculture; from banking to criminal justice, this increased reliance on empirical data has the potential to transform entire industries -- and, in the process, countless lives -- depending on how this data is harnessed and put to use.
With programs like CompStat -- the New York City Police Department's management tool, which has been replicated and deployed in a number of police departments across the country -- we've seen that data gathering can lead to better allocation of police resources. On the federal level, we know that the development of risk assessments has, for years, successfully aided in parole boards' decision-making about candidates for early release. Data can also help design paths for federal inmates to lower these risk assessments, and earn their way towards a reduced sentence, based on participation in programs that research shows can dramatically improve the odds of successful reentry. Such evidence-based strategies show promise in allowing us to more effectively reduce recidivism. And ultimately, they hold the potential to revolutionize community corrections and make our system far more effective than it is today -- by better matching services with needs; by providing early warnings whenever supervised individuals stray from their reentry plans; by incorporating faster responses from probation officers to get people back on track; and by yielding feedback and results in real-time.
It's increasingly clear that, in the context of directing law enforcement resources and improving reentry programs, intensive analysis and data-driven solutions can help us achieve significant successes while reducing costs. But particularly when it comes to front-end applications -- such as sentencing decisions, where a handful of states are now attempting to employ this methodology -- we need to be sure the use of aggregate data analysis won't have unintended consequences.
Here in Pennsylvania and elsewhere, legislators have introduced the concept of "risk assessments" that seek to assign a probability to an individual's likelihood of committing future crimes and, based on those risk assessments, make sentencing determinations. Although these measures were crafted with the best of intentions, I am concerned that they may inadvertently undermine our efforts to ensure individualized and equal justice. By basing sentencing decisions on static factors and immutable characteristics -- like the defendant's education level, socioeconomic background, or neighborhood -- they may exacerbate unwarranted and unjust disparities that are already far too common in our criminal justice system and in our society.
Criminal sentences must be based on the facts, the law, the actual crimes committed, the circumstances surrounding each individual case, and the defendant's history of criminal conduct. They should not be based on unchangeable factors that a person cannot control, or on the possibility of a future crime that has not taken place. Equal justice can only mean individualized justice, with charges, convictions, and sentences befitting the conduct of each defendant and the particular crime he or she commits. And that's why, this week, the Justice Department is taking the important step of urging the Sentencing Commission to study the use of data-driven analysis in front-end sentencing -- and to issue policy recommendations based on this careful, independent analysis.
At the state level, data-driven reforms are resulting in reduced prison populations -- and importantly, those reductions are disproportionately impacting men of color. We should celebrate this milestone -- a turning point -- and hope that front-end applications can also result in both public safety and racial justice. Careful study of the issue is warranted.
We are at a watershed in the debate over how to reform our sentencing laws. A generation ago, the "truth in sentencing" movement of the 1970s and 80s sought to mete out equal sentences across the board, but sent the prison population soaring. By contrast, the idea of sentencing defendants based on risk factors may help to reduce the prison population, but in certain circumstances it may run the risk of imposing drastically different punishments for the same crimes. Neither approach may, by itself, provide the answer. Instead, policymakers should consider taking the good parts of each model. The legacy of the truth-in-sentencing era is the lesson that the certainty of imposing some sanction for criminal behavior can indeed change behavior. And the "Big Data" movement has immense potential to make the corrections process more effective and efficient when it comes to reducing recidivism rates. A blending of these approaches may represent the best path forward.
Of course, whatever the outcome of this debate, there's no doubt that these are complicated questions that implicate extraordinarily difficult issues. We seek -- and we are bringing about -- nothing less than a paradigm shift in our approach to criminal justice challenges. Ultimately, we're striving to turn the page on an era, and an approach, that relied on incarceration over rehabilitation; that emphasized punishment over outcomes; and that too often discounted the ability of our justice system to prepare criminal defendants to reenter their communities as productive members of society. Through the Smart on Crime initiative, we have already achieved a tremendous amount. As we move forward together, my colleagues and I will continue to rely on leaders like you to advance, to hone, and to grow this work.
This morning, as I look around this crowd of passionate professionals and dedicated public servants, I cannot help but feel confident in our ability to do just that; to develop smart solutions to the toughest problems we face; to protect the rights of everyone in this country, no matter their salary or their skin color; and to further enshrine the ideals of American justice into the annals of American law. The very existence of organizations like NACDL reminds us that -- no matter how complex the challenges or how contentious the debate -- there will always be men and women who do not shrink from the responsibility to bring this country closer to its highest principles and deepest values.
Even in the face of great trial and challenge, despite criticism and public scrutiny, you have for nearly six decades remained faithful to your mission to ensure justice, foster integrity, and promote the fair administration of our criminal justice system. I thank you, once again, for your inspiring commitment to these efforts. I applaud your dedication to principled and inclusive leadership of America's legal community. And I look forward to all that we'll achieve together in our ongoing efforts to deliver on the promise of equal justice under law.
Thank you.

'We Need God to Help Us' says Anti-Gay Activist
SAN FRANCISCO--Gathered outside the San Francisco Civic Courthouse, activists from America Forever, an anti-gay activist group, say the focus of the issue on gay marriages should consider the children in the case made against gay marriages by Campaign for California Families (CCF), a statewide nonprofit, nonpartisan family issues leadership organization.
Protect the children,?chanted members of America Forever, who drove 12 hours from Salt Lake City, Utah, in order to let others know homosexuality is "selfish?and "an unnatural act? One sign read "Children Against Anti-Species i.e. Proganda i.e. (homosexual and lesbian)?
Judge Superior Court Judge Ronald Quidachay halted the hearing for recess and the case was left inconclusive. On March 29, the case will be resumed.
On the hearing, Sandra Rodriges, one of the activist leaders of America Forever said, "If they legalize it, they are legalizing Sodomy. If they legalize it, they are validating it. They are committing a crime against the minds of the children.?
Rodriges cited the 1982 case of New York v. Ferber where the Supreme Court ruled to protect the children under the age of 16 from being exposed to sexual conduct material.
America Forever is committed to end the support for gay marriages before more propaganda relating to sex issues reach the children. They believe that "the word (gay, homosexual, lesbian) can not be separated from the [sexual] act? Therefore, children of "tender ages?would become even more affected by the sexual propaganda as the dialogue on gay marriages will force its way into schools, homes, and society.
"We are here because we believe the silence of the people to be the loudest voice for this act,?said Rodriges, holding onto a banner that contained a message alluding to the 30-year-old statute. It read: "See No Evil, Hear No Evil, Read No Evil?with corresponding images of monkeys enacting the slogan.
Civil rights cannot be used as a justifiable argument for same-sex unions, according to Rodriges who would not compromise with any marriage between a man and a man or a woman and a woman. "What do you do next? Allow them marry with dogs??
"Repent America," a Philadelphia-based group opposed to "homosexual rights," also carried signs denouncing the unnatural act, listing homosexuality alongside the sins the Bible speaks of. One sign read, "Warning Fornicators, Thieves, God Haters, Drunkards, Adulterers, Liars, Homosexuals. Judgment."
The group also sang a rehearsed rhyme, in which one line said, "This nation stands for the truth.?
Truth to the matter is that in 2000, California voters passed Proposition 22, which defines marriage as a "union between a man and a woman? The marriage licenses that have been issued in San Francisco have violated more than just the California State law.
A few lines into the rhyme, the activists said, "We cry, we cry for this nation to never deceive human nature.?
"It's not right,?said Dean Jason Jackson, an African-American male supporting the efforts of American Forever. "Things can be better. We need God to help us!?
He pointed toward the direction of a near-by park and said, "We are setting a bad example for the children.?
Although the activists were passionately voicing their view on the corner entrance of the courthouse, they assure the people that they do not tolerate hate crimes.
"I do not hate them,?said Rodriges. ?But] we cannot be silent so we can look at the future. We can look in the mirror and say, 'we tried.'" The organization's website displays a quote reading, "In America's Greatness Lies the Hope of the World. In your hand lies the greatness of America.?
She also urges others to do their part.
"Pray that they will think about their children, and look at the future,?said Rodriges. "I can imagine the world will be an ugly world if the innocence is lost. Things will never be the same.?

Prius Driver Has a Meltdown...
:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
But seriously... If she or anyone walks over to my car cursing in front of my kids... It's ON! :mad:
Sounds like the truck is a desiel, if so I would have got my smoke screen on and really set her off. I was always told its harder on desiels to start them then to just keep them idling. But they did show alot more restraint then my wife and I would have if we were in the same situation
Sent from my thumb to your eyes
Typical useless Prius anus!!
I own two BMW autos and a Prius. No affectation here.
Sent from a HTC EVO
If she wasn't such an ignorant bitch she'd realize that her prius will do just as much damage as the diesel truck will in a lifetime.
Commence the coal rolling!
(Definitely not me or my truck :eeps:)
She was a classless bitch but I too have a pain with idling vehicles, if it's someplace I'm sorta stuck at. Li'l bit o' extra wear and tear on the diesel to have to restart it? Stop, you're breaking my heart.
The lady was, indeed, an obnoxious ass but she had a point. Turn the bleeping noise maker off people, when it makes sense to do so. It's not like she's asking them to start it, run it for 2 minutes, then shut it off, and repeat that about 50 times (or until the battery dies).
Oldie but a goodie...
I couldn't tell exactly why those people were congregated in the parking lot, but it appeared that they needed to wait there for something. I've gone to a bunch of the barter fairs up in N. Central WA state, in October, near Canada so it gets cold at night. I can't tell you how many times I was just about to drift off into slumber when some nimrod starts his rig and runs it for 30 minutes to an hour, or tries to before I get in their face and read them the riot act. There we are, way up in the hills, away from the sounds of the city, tranquil peace and quiet but no, these people don't have a good enough sleeping bag or their feet are like, cold, man, and they idle their bleeping rig. Imagine you're asleep in bed and someone brings a car into the hallway outside your door and starts it up. That's about what it sounds like. The noise of the idle dominates.
^ My car sits low enough that most full sized trucks exhausts are window level. You know what I do.... I stay a little back or ahead. Doesnt look like it was a overly packed parking lot so what makes her so special? Just get over self, your not jesus cause you drive a prius.
Sent from my thumb to your eyes
I leave my diesel run when I go into a store just so it's nice and cool when I get back in. I do the opposite in the winter. :p
I've owned 3 Hybrids and my parents have had three Prii. Drive a diesel now. If I had a bitch come up to me and talk to me like that about the X5, I would definelty go off on her
No sympathy for lowlifes like that. She can take her prius and shove it up her ass and this is coming from a previous Toyota Hybrid owner
People in this country need to grow up ASAP and stop being children in adult's bodies. No matter how much you yell/bawl and beat your feet on the ground you do NOT have*
- a right to clean air
- a right to silence when you desire it
- a right to smell-free environment
- a right germ-free environment
- a right to pollen-free environment
- a right to children-free environment
- a right to music-free environment
- a right to food-smell-free environment
- a right to tatoo-free and piercing-free environment
- and so on.
What you DO have a right to do is to f*ck off and go where it suits you until you grow up and learn to live and let live.
That's all.
Don't believe me? When was the last time you cracked The Constitution and Bill of Rights?
It's a bit weird for people to assert that their li'l girl just cannot get her nap, ya'all, w/o a 200hp/300ft.lb. engine idling away to run the AC. Holy $h!t batperson, we've turned into a nation of wussies.
The woman was over the top a PITA, no question. Under the right circumstances, I could see myself questioning the gentleman's conduct, and instructing him to shut the damn thing off. Ain't no truck stop here, bubba.

Aurora, Indiana - Woman Buried in Her Cadillac
Aurora Schuck loved her Cadillac El Dorado so much that she asked her husband to bury her in it when she died. Ray Schuck purchased 14 lots and had a crane lower the convertible into the large concrete vault. When Ray passed away in 2002 the vault was reopened and Ray was placed next to his wife. It was said that he moved her over because it was his turn to drive.[RAYDD, 08/11/2012]
Ray told the media covering the 1989 burial of his wife in her '76 Caddy that he had the oil changed and filled the gas tank. Too bad there's nothing above ground at the site referencing the car. Maybe put your ear to the ground and listen for the faint sound of an engine revving.

Citation: Vantoai, T.T., Shannon, G., Roberts, V.S., Hua, D., Nelson, R. 2001. Tolerance of 108 soybean germplasm lines to flooding at three growth stages. Agronomy Abstracts. Interpretive Summary:
Technical Abstract: Flooding is an important stress that reduces soybean growth and seed yield. The study was conducted to determine the tolerance of 108 PIs and 6 Midwest soybean cultivars to flooding at the seedling, V3 and R1 growth stages. Tolerance of complete submergence was determined by submerging 4-d old seedlings for 4 days in darkness at 26 C. Tolerance to flooding at the V3 and R1 growth stages was conducted in growth chamber and greenhouse experiments, respectively. Plant height and leaf color were measured at the end of the two-week flooding period and also after one week of recovery together with leaf area and plant biomass. The experiments were repeated two times, each with three replicantes. The results showed not correlation between the flooding responses at the three different growth stages. In the greenhouse experiment where the plants were flooded under high light intensity and high temperature, plants of some PIs died during the one- week recovery period. The PIS that died in this experiment were highly correlated with those that died in the 2000 field screening experiment in MO. This study indicated that tolerance to flooding is highly affected by temperature and light during the flooding and recovery periods suggesting that screening tests should be conducted under these conditions.
