Fox News' Geraldo Rivera: "Hoodie as Responsible for Trayvon Martin's Death as George Zimmerman"
Appearing on this morning's edition of Fox News' Fox and Friends, Geraldo Rivera opined that Trayvon Martin's hooded sweatshirt was as much to blame for the teen's death as the man who killed him.
The veteran journalist opined that the unarmed black teenager, who was shot to death on February 26 by George Zimmerman, a self-appointed neighborhood watch captain who often called police to report "suspicious black men," brought his death upon himself with his choice of clothing.
"I am urging the parents of black and Latino youngsters particularly to not let their children go out wearing hoodies," Rivera admonished. "I think the hoodie is as much responsible for Trayvon Martin's death as George Zimmerman was."
Rivera continued: "When you see a kid walking down the street, particularly a dark skinned kid like my son Cruz, who I constantly yelled at when he was going out wearing a damn hoodie or those pants around his ankles…There is some things that are almost inevitable. I'm not suggesting that Trayvon Martin had any kind of weapon or anything, but he wore an outfit that allowed someone to respond in this irrational, overzealous way and if he had been dressed more appropriately, I think unless it's raining out, or you're at a track meet, leave the hoodie home. Don't let your children go out there."
As multiple media outlets have pointed out, it was raining when Trayvon Martin was shot. The 17-year-old's only "crime" was 'walking while black' in a gated community in the South. Blaming his hoodie for his death is akin to blaming a rape victim for wearing a short skirt. It's much easier for folks like Rivera to blame Martin's tragic and untimely demise on a piece of clothing than it is to unflinchingly examine the role that race and guns, especially "stand-your-ground" "self-defense" laws, played in his death.
UPDATE: According to the Huffington Post, Geraldo Rivera's own son, who he referenced in his comments about hoodies, is "ashamed" of his father's position. "My own son just wrote to say he's ashamed of my position re hoodies," Rivera tweeted.

MEPA removes illegal structures in buffer zone of Fort Rinella
Large illegal structures that were intruding the visual integrity of the Grade 1 Scheduled Rinella Fort were demolished by the Malta Environment and Planning Authority (MEPA) in a direct action operation at the Mediterranean Film Studios at Rinella, limits of Kalkara.
These structures, which fell within the buffer zone area of the world's first mechanical fort, consisted of a 'hangar size' metal structure, an extension to a canteen and storage area and a large metal canopy.
In a brief statement, MEPA Chairman Mr Austin Walker said "that while the Authority supports the initiatives and efforts the filming industry takes to remain competitive in the international market, we cannot tolerate that illegal and insensitive development takes places, especially on the doorstep of a historical site which daily attracts numerous visitors." He continued to say that "We need to safeguard and enhance the cultural and architectural heritage of our Island and keep working to improve our product together"
The studio manager of the Mediterranean Film Studios had been notified to submit a planning application to sanction works on site but this application was never received by the Authority. These structures are not temporary props of any film production but illegal structures that began mushrooming in the area.
The Authority is taking all the necessary steps to ensure that this operation does not disrupt any on-going filming activities at the studios.

RE: Co-Displaying Combinatorica and Graphics Objects
Why don't you give us a complete specific example so that we don't have to

Re Mathematica 184.108.40.206 under WinXP.
Let G1 be a (Combinatorica) Graph object (e.g., G1 = FromOrderedPairs[...]).
Let G2 be any Graphics object, e.g., G2 = Graphics[...].
I want to display G1 and G2 side-by-side via Show@GraphicsArray@{G1, G2},
but can't figure it out:
- G1 isn't a Graphics object (and so my command fails).
- I can display G1 via G3 = ShowGraph@G1, but then Show@GraphicsArray@{G3,
G2} fails (G3 is a symbol).
- Hoping to piece together a Graphics object from FullGraphics@G1, I am
stumped by the embedded Rule object.
Any ideas on how to display these two objects in an array?

It says 'TR' and RND as if it was in random playback mode (I've never set it to that), and nothing will work CD-related. I can't change the track (no number appears, only TR), nor can I eject the CD.
The radio works fine, as does the steering-wheel and head unit controls to change the stations; just nothing works with anything pertaining to CD functionality. I can't even eject the CD whilist the vehicle is off (if you hold the eject button down while the car is off it will eject the disc).
Does anyone have any insight as to why my CD player is behaving the way it is?
Did you ever manage to resolve this problem? My Business CD started acting-up in the exact same manner as you described. Did pulling out the fuse work, or something else?

Post-Christmas Gift Return Rush Begins [AUDIO]
Whether it's a DVD they already owned, or a sweater that's way too big, the day after Christmas is when people flock to stores to make their returns.
Whether it's a DVD they already owned, or a sweater that's way too big, the day after Christmas is when people flock to stores to make their returns.
It takes a special kind of person to brave the elements and moreover the people. to go out after a nice Thanksgiving dinner and go shopping at the stores or malls for Black Friday...
If you were out shopping today for Black Friday and made it home safe and sound, consider yourself fortunate. Before you start mapping out your plans for next year, you may want to watch a very cool video compilation created by Digg.com of some Black Friday shoppers who didn't fare as well.
Every Black Friday, the infamous shopping day after Thanksgiving, is a madhouse that we cannot seem to get enough of.
Even if you live under a rock (its time to stop disrespecting our below surface dwelling brethren), you know this Friday was BLACK FRIDAY!!! What you also know is that this year, many major stores technically opened Thanksgiving Night (no one considers midnight the start of the next morning. So stop condescendingly correcting people to that end.) What you may not know is that on Thanksgiving Night 2011, a big piece of me died.
Me, either. In fact, if I can't buy it at the supermarket while I'm food shopping, or order it online, it's not a good gift.

Click here for a clickable gallery of this year's highlights.
COOPER GOLF DAY – Golfers get ready for the Bud Cooper Memorial Golf Classic, held June 14 at Wild Bluff resort in Bay Mills, Mich.

SAULT STE. MARIE, Mich. – Thousands of dollars were raised for Lake Superior State University's men's basketball program during the Bud Cooper Memorial Golf Classic held June 14 at Wild Bluff in Bay Mills, Mich. Friends and alumni of LSSU came from as far away as Texas, Virginia, Wisconsin, and Washington state to participate in the third-annual fundraiser.
The "Cooper Classic" is named in honor of Ronald "Bud" Cooper, the late Laker student-athlete, coach, and athletic director. Cooper devoted hours of his time since retirement in 1986 to raising hundreds of thousands of dollars to support athletics, scholarships, and renovation initiatives at Lake State.
This year's Classic was a three-person scramble that included a Million Dollar Shot contest and other special events. Current members of the Laker men's basketball team greeted all golfers and assisted on the course with their putting skills.
Scramble results are, for First Flight: Brian Robinette, Casey VanDamme, and Mike Peterson in first place; Pee Wee Synett, Alex Sawruk, and Freddy Benoit in second place; and Gary Sharp, Jamie Davison, and Alan Bouschor in third place. Second Flight results were Kyle Jean, Kory Kaunisto, and Brian Jean in first place; Rob Mackie, Joe Claxton, and Dave Thomas in second; and Dave Copeland, Randy McArthur, John Barton in third. Susan Fitzpatrick, Leah Voss, and Joan Killips took top honors in the Women's Flight.
This year's sponsors included Ron and Corey Sober, Gallagher Benefit Services, Riverside Medical Associates, Cooper Dental, Billy Cooper Family, Gundlach Champion, War Memorial Hospital, Pingatore Cleaners, Old Mission Bank, Precision Edge Surgical Products, Rick Cooper, Rodenroth Motors, and O'Connor's.
Next year's event returns to Wild Bluff with a barbeque, the Million Dollar Shot, and putting contest on Saturday, Aug. 2, with a four-person scramble format starting at 8:30 a.m. on Aug. 3, 2014. For more information, contact head men's basketball coach Steve Hettinga at 906-635-2174 or by e-mail at email@example.com.

Interior: Preserving Installation Screw Holes During Skim coating?
I have some workers coming in tomorrow and the next few days. They are going to scrape and patch my plaster walls/ceilings. The building is 1920s and has wood/lathe wall construction. THere lots of flaking paint and also some cracks. It is also possible that they will do a quick/dirty skim coat.
I have a few heavy items (shelving, cabinet cleats, bookshelves, etc) that I had installed and hung, and I have just taken them down. Most of the stuff was anchored using 3/8" x 4"+ lag bolts driven into either the studs or joists. Obviously, there's now a few dozen holes, along with some broken plaster in some places around the entrance holes.
I want to re-hang the items after the work and I DO NOT want to have to redo the very laborious layout, measurement, drilling again. How can I preserve the actual screw holes so they can be accessed after the compound and/or plastering work? Is there some form of place marker I can put in the lag screw holes to prevent them from being filled up and that will NOT interfere with, or complicate, the plastering work? One wall, for ex., has two dozen holes for very heavy duty shelving brackets.
Thanks a bunch.
I usually just go back immediately after the wall has been skimmed and put the bolts/screws back in a turn or two. A few times it's been little bits of dowel rod, coat hanger, drinking straw, etc.. I can't imagine that not working for you.
See, the wall is fairly beat up in some of thee areas, so the workers are going to chip, chop, scrape, etc., and in some places there are cracks as well so there will be quite a bit of filling and resurfacing taking place. If they completely cover the wall over with compound/plaster, how will I find all the holes? Anything I place in the screw holes will be buried....it will turn into an archaeological dig to find them again and I'll likely destroy the wall doing that. Conversely, anything I place in the holes and that still stands proud of the surface, in order to mark the holes for future use, will interfere with the worker's smooth surfacing and knife/trowel work.
Do you get the picture?
Tack a sheet of transparent visqueen over the whole area. Mark each hole with a marker on the visqueen.
Make sure you have some reference that will enable you to place the sheet of visqueen right back up in EXACTLY the same location.
Your holes will be right underneath your marks.
Thanks for the solutions!

I would have to say, brilliant move yesterday, making 15 recess appointments right before you leave for Afghanistan knowing that tomorrow's arrival in Kabul would trump yesterday's news. That's Clintonesque...
President Obama has landed at Bagram Air Force Base in Afghanistan for a surprise visit to that country.CNN reports that Obama left for the trip around 10:30p.m.Eastern last night, here's a report from AP
U.S. Army soldiers return fire accross an opium poppy field after Taliban insurgents attacked their unit, in this March 14, 2010 file photo at Howz-e-Madad in Kandahar province, Afghanistan.
(John Moore/Getty Images)This is Obama's first trip to Afghanistan as commander-in-chief, though he visited once as a senator, on July 19, 2008, during the presidential general election.
Obama made a surprise and secret visit to Baghdad last April and addressed U.S. troops at Camp Victory.
Today, Obama is scheduled to meet with Afghan President Hamid Karzai and members of the Afghan cabinet and to address U.S. troops at Bagram Air Base.
After a lengthy strategy review last fall, Obama announced in December that he was ordering a troop surge in Afghanistan to target insurgents and secure key areas here.

How do I know if I should do something to control the cutworms?
Once you've identified that you have a problem the next step is to determine how serious the problem is. The economic thresholds for chemical control of cutworms vary from 1 to 4 larvae per 30 cm (12 inches) of row depending on the cutworm species, crop and crop stage. For more details on thresholds check out these links:
Economic Thresholds for Insects Attacking Cereals and Corn
Economic Thresholds for Insects Attacking Oilseeds
What do I do if the economic threshold is reached?
Once you've made the decision to control the cutworms you need to choose a product that is registered for both the crop and this pest. Matador, Decis, and Lorsban are examples of chemicals that can all be used to control cutworms. For more chemical choices consult your local agronomist, the 2004 Crop Protection Guide and/or our The Blue Book on the web site.
Chemical control should be done from late afternoon to evening. The reason for spraying late is that cutworms feed at night and to get control you need to apply the chemical as close to the time that they emerge as possible.
If you want to learn more check out the information at our website or contact us at: 310-FARM (3276)

Coach Plocki on WTKA Insider | The All-Around Podcast
Friday, Feb. 8 -- at No. 20 Ohio State (Columbus, Ohio), 7 p.m.

Social Media: Facebook | Twitter
The No. 3-ranked University of Michigan women's gymnastics team (7-1, 3-1 Big Ten) hits the halfway point of the 2013 season this weekend, reigniting its rivalry with No. 20 Ohio State (3-2, 2-1 Big Ten) on Friday (Feb. 8) in Columbus, Ohio. The meet will begin at 7 p.m. inside St. John Arena.
Michigan remains at No. 3 in this week's GymInfo/Troester rankings (196.855). The Wolverines have been ranked in the top three through the first five weeks of the season (No. 1 on Jan. 11 and Jan. 21, No. 2 on Jan. 14). The top two spots in the rankings continue to be held by Florida (197.135) and Oklahoma (197.025).
The Wolverines rank among the top 10 nationally in all four events, including a top-three ranking in three of them. They are ranked second on balance beam (49.155), third on both uneven bars (49.215) and floor exercise (49.310) and ninth on vault (49.175). Individually, junior Joanna Sampson ranks sixth in the all-around (39.460), while senior Katie Zurales is 10th (39.406).
The rankings, which are determined by season scoring average, are released every Monday. The rankings will switch over to Regional Qualifying Score (RQS) on Monday, Feb. 25. [ Rankings ]

Michigan is 39-22 all-time against Ohio State. The two teams split last season, with the Wolverines winning the regular season meeting, 195.500-195.175, in Ann Arbor (Jan. 13, 2012), but the Buckeyes finished higher at the Big Ten Championships, 196.225-195.875. Prior to that defeat at the Big Ten Championships, Michigan had won 38 straight meetings. U-M head coach Bev Plocki has a 37-3 record against Ohio State, which includes just one dual meet loss that came in her first season as head coach (Feb. 11, 1990).
The Buckeyes are ranked No. 20 this week, averaging 195.035. They are ranked 16th on vault (49.000), 21st on uneven bars (48.770) and 24th on balance beam (48.695). Ohio State is led by junior Sarah Miller, who ranks 11th nationally on vault, and is tied for 14th on both balance beam and floor exercise.
Junior Joanna Sampson was named Big Ten Women's Gymnast of the Week for the second time this season after winning all four event titles and posting a new career-high score in the all-around against Iowa last Saturday (Feb. 2). Her all-around score of 39.600 against the Hawkeyes ranks as the fourth-best performance in the country this season, behind only Florida's Kytra Hunter (39.700), UCLA's Vanessa Zamarripa (39.675) and Nebraska's Emily Wong (39.650). Additionally, she is the third gymnast since 2004 to post an all-around score of 39.600 or better. The others were Kylee Botterman (39.675 vs. Illinois in 2010; 39.625 at Michigan Tri in 2011) and Sarah Curtis (39.600 vs. Georgia in 2008). Her previous career-high score in the all-around was 39.550, set two weeks ago vs. Illinois (Jan. 19, 2013). This season, Sampson has won or shared 10 event titles, finished second in two others and has three first-place finishes in the all-around. [ Release ]
Michigan has scored at or above 49.000 in all four apparatuses in every meet this season. The Wolverines have scored below 49.000 in only one rotation this season, scoring 48.975 on vault at the Cancun Classic on Jan. 4. Also, Michigan gymnasts have won or shared 16 of a possible 20 event titles (including ties).
Through five meets, Michigan is averaging a total score of 196.855, an increase of 2.185 over the same stretch last season (194.670). The Wolverines are also scoring better in all four events as opposed to last season's cumulative average, including positive margins on vault (+.073), uneven bars (+.354), balance beam (+.632) and floor exercise (+.560).
Junior Reema Zakharia was in the lineup on three events last Saturday against Iowa for the second time in her career. She tied for fourth on floor exercise (9.825) and also performed on vault (9.750) and balance beam (9.675).
Senior Brittnee Martinez has been in the lineup on uneven bars and balance beam in all five meets this season. She has scored above 9.800 in every routine on each of those apparatuses this season.
Sophomore Annette Miele returned to the lineup against Iowa after sitting out the previous meet at Minnesota (Jan. 26). She was in the lineup on uneven bars (9.800) and balance beam (9.125).
Freshman Austin Sheppard was the only Michigan freshman to appear in any lineup last Saturday against Iowa, appearing on vault to tie for fourth (9.825). Two others -- Briley Casanova and Lindsay Williams -- were exhibition competitors.
With the win over Iowa, Michigan head coach Bev Plocki has 594 career wins. Since women's gymnastics was named a varsity sport in 1976, Plocki has accounted for 83 percent of the team's all-time victories (594 of 713).
Michigan will compete on the road in four of its final six regular-season meets. Each of the four sites could also be potential postseason destinations. Michigan State (March 2) will host the Big Ten Championships (March 23), Ohio State and West Virginia (Feb. 24) are host sites for the NCAA Regional Championships, and UCLA (March 10) will host the NCAA Championships (April 19-21).
|Bev Plocki
Head Coach
Q: Why did you feel your team had a below-average performance last Saturday against Iowa?
A: I didn't think we had a bad meet. We just were not as clean and not as sharp as we have been previously. We still didn't count any falls or any major breaks, and that's something most teams would be very satisfied with. I felt that compared with some of our other performances this season, we didn't execute as well. The first two beam routines weren't our best, but I was extremely proud of the back four. They did a great job. Floor was a little up and down, too. We'll learn from it.
Q: What does it say about your team that they didn't perform their best but still managed to come away with a decent score? There's something to be said about this team's resilience.
A: Everything I've seen so far this season indicates to me that we have a very good team, one that is very determined and mentally tough. That's all really good. You take away something to learn from every meet. The first couple of meets, it's easy to be energized. We're already a third of the way through the season now. This is the time when it starts to become work. Bodies aren't as fresh. There's a sore ankle here, a sore shoulder there. Not to the extent of being injured, but your body starts to feel the wear and tear. This is when maintaining the positive energy, focus and our attention to detail becomes a bit harder. We have to work at it. We can't just expect it to be there. I think that's what we learned from this last meet. When it's not easy, we have to work harder.
Q: Reema Zakharia was in the lineup on three events against Iowa. In the past, she's mainly been a floor exercise specialist, but now she's someone you can go to on upwards of three events. Talk about her progression.
A: She's done a really great job. Unfortunately, she's got a bit of a leg problem. I wouldn't call it an injury, but we have to monitor it and be careful going forward. I would expect to see her in and out of the lineup depending on where we feel like we need to rest her. Her primary event of importance is floor. If we can use her on beam and/or vault when we're trying to rest someone else, then we want her to be ready for that. Certainly, we think we can count on her to do that, but I don't think we can get her through the season if we use her on three events in every meet.
Q: Talk about what the next few meets look like. We'll be competing on the road, but in terms of potential lineup changes, what do you foresee happening and who do you see stepping in?
A: We're going to start to see a few other people participating. Our strategy for the next month is to hopefully have additional people prepared and ready to go, so we can strategically rest others from the lineup. You're going to start to see a few more faces. It's very probable that we'll see Natalie (Beilstein) in the uneven bars lineup soon. It's also probable that we'll see Briley (Casanova) and Austin (Sheppard) making debuts, whether it's an exhibition or in the actual lineup. Lindsay (Williams) has had some opportunities and will continue to receive them. These next three-to-four weeks the plan is to see some changes.
Q: Friday's opponent, Ohio State, is obviously a very familiar one. It's a high-intensity rivalry in any sport. You know that Ohio State will be fired up to host not only the No. 3 team in the country but also its main rival. What do you tell your team to prepare for that this week?
A: I think that this team is a team that will rise to the occasion under those circumstances. Like any team here at Michigan, we don't like to get beat by Ohio State. It's a great rivalry. We know Ohio State typically performs well at home. We know that we have to be at our best to be able to go in there and pull out a victory. This team is up for that challenge.
Michigan won its 14th straight home dual meet against a Big Ten team with a 196.675-195.200 victory over Iowa last Saturday (Feb. 2) at Crisler Center. [ Recap :: Postmeet Video: Bev Plocki | Joanna Sampson ]

I don't
This is a discussion on Attorney within the Concealed Carry Issues & Discussions forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; Does anyone keep an attorney on retainer in case you do have to use deadly force against a BG?...
Does anyone keep an attorney on retainer in case you do have to use deadly force against a BG?
This comes up periodically.
I have a number of a good local attorney to call, and I don't pay a retainer. I don't know why anyone would?

Go to a good defense lawyer and ask his/her advice on post shooting contact with the police. Take one of his/her business cards and carry it at all times. Then if you are involved in a shooting you have established a relationship with that lawyer.
This has been discussed here before, IIRC, a retainer sorta kinda doesn't work that way anyway... Bill Lindsay's advice is probably a good course of action... you might want to talk to several lawyers, and find one that is in criminal defense with trial experience.
I know, you're not planning on being a "criminal" but if you are charged with a crime, or even detained for one, you will have "become one" in the eyes of the law.
It could be worse!
I suppose
Look what topic is back!
How many people are you planning to shoot before your attorney retires? Are you Clyde Barrow or John Wesley Hardin, and think this would be a good use of your money given the likelihood of you shooting someone?
As oakchas says, this is not how a "retainer" for legal services works. I'll step aside and let the real attorneys chime in.
H*ll no !! I'm not about to give some bloodsucker money for not sucking !!! Remember our government is being run by lawyers, and look at what's going on. Kind of like having the fox watch the hen house. Way too many lawyers in this country wanting to sue for any reason and anybody. Also getting paid buy the government, ( our money ) to defend criminals that there is not doubt of their guilt. That's why it takes 15 to 20 years to get a death sentence carried out. I could say don't get me started, but you already have !!!!
" The beauty of the second amendment is that it will not be needed until they try to take it." Thomas Jefferson
Took a class on the legal aspects of CC and shootings. The lawyer that taught the class recommended you find a good criminal defense attorney, and keep his number in your phone, and if you need one, shut up and call him.
Simple and straightforward.

One option that might be a good fit for some folks is PrePaid Legal. My plan was $25 per month for most things I would need an attorney for...document review, drawing up contracts, wills, etc. $1 per month extra gives you 24 hour access to a pool of lawyers in the event of arrest and provided for a certain number of trial hours. When I used to travel 3-5 days out of the week and had the opportunity to carry in other states, this was nice piece of mind. They even provided wallet cards with instructions to the police that said you were represented and you were invoking your right to legal counsel upon presentation, with contact information for the hotline. Local attorneys contract with them at a national level, so one call would get the process rolling and a local attorney on his/her way to help you.
Although I don't have it right now, I plan on signing up again at the beginning of the year.
My wife had something similar through her employer. I think it was $7 per check or $14 per month. We had it for a while and used their lawyers to review some documents and other such things. Decided to drop it a few years ago as we almost never consult attorneys if it can be avoided. Not sure it would be a good investment, unless you travel and your local lawyer would not be much good in another part of the country.
The thickest part of the Yellow Pages is the listing of attorneys. Are you concerned that you might not be able to find one if needed?

Stephen Fry and Douglas Henshall Star in Ovation Original Film, DOORS OPEN 4/13
Ovation Network will premiere an Ovation original film, DOORS OPEN, on Saturday, April 13 at 8 p.m. ET. Based on the 2008 novel by crime writer Ian Rankin, DOORS OPEN stars Stephen Fry (Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows, Jeeves and Wooster) and Douglas Henshall (Dorian Gray) in the story of a self-made millionaire, an art professor and a banker who come together to undertake an audacious art heist.
Set in Edinburgh, Scotland's world of corporate banking and fine art, DOORS OPEN stars Douglas Henshall as "Mike Mackenzie," a self-made businessman with too much time on his hands. Bored by the comfort of his millions and grieving for the woman who walked out on him five years previously, his adventurous side is about to get him into trouble. When the love of his life, "Laura Stanton" (played by Lenora Crichlow, Being Human), art consultant and auctioneer, returns to Edinburgh, his whole world is turned upside down and he'd risk anything to get her back.
With art expert Professor Gissing, (Stephen Fry) and banker Allan Cruickshank (Kenneth Collard of Anna Karenina), Mike dreams up a plot to rip off one of the most high-profile targets in the country - Edinburgh's private art collection owned by a national bank. Incensed by wealthy patrons hiding works of art away in private collections, the trio devises a plan to swap priceless masterpieces stored in the gallery's warehouse with brilliantly accurate forgeries. Fortuitously, Edinburgh's buildings of special interest are open to the public for a single day under the "Doors Open" scheme. It's the nation's celebration of public access, the perfect opportunity for these three to pull off the perfect art heist.
Mike enlists the help of "Charlie Calloway" (played by Brian McBride, Titanic mini-series), an old school friend and small time gangster, to beef up their criminal know-how, but Charlie's involvement comes at a price: he brings the unwelcome attention of some less-than-friendly outlandish gangsters. By the time the gallery warehouse doors are flung open to the public, there's no going back.

Need advice on 2013 BMW 328i Xdrive.
First off if I'm in the wrong area for this then I apologize. Right now I'm deciding between a 2013 BMW 328i Xdrive or a 2013 V6 Honda Accord EX-L with Nav. Now I know what your thinking "how can you compare a BMW to a Honda?" Well I'm not sure how but I am. What concerns me about the BMW is that replacement parts will cost more. I'm wondering what are issues with the 2013 BMW 328i X drive, and your opinion on what I should be looking for. Also I have heard that this car is Premium Gas only ? (need clarification) I have drove a 2013 Honda Accord EX-L V6 and it's more roomy then the BMW. I drove two BMWs and I have to say it's fun to drive with a very smooth transmission and I love the cold weather package. The only major differences are that the BMW is $10,000 more, and the gas mileage is a little better. What do you think ? And what are issues that you have experienced with them ?
Thanks in advance.

Interfaith Dialogue
Apologetics and Dialogue
By Roger Keller
My fundamental problem with apologetics is that it tends to breed contention, and if there is any text in the Book of Mormon that has profound meaning for me, especially as I hold this Richard L. Evans Chair of Religious Understanding, it's 3 Nephi 11: 29-30:
For verily, verily I say unto you, he that hath the Spirit of contention is not of me, but is of the devil, who is the father of contention, and he stirreth up the hearts of men to contend with anger, one with another.
Behold, this is not my doctrine, to stir up the hearts of men with anger, one against another; but this is my doctrine, that such things should be done away.
I was pleased to hear one of the other speakers saying that the Holy Spirit could not be present where there was contention and from my standpoint any forum in which the Spirit can't be present isn't a place worth being. That underlines, to some degree, my concern about apologetics. I have a friend who used to say that you can't win a spitting contest with a camel. All too often that's what I think apologetics boils down to.
We used to have on the front of the Old Testament syllabus at Duke a cartoon that showed a young man lying on the floor thumbing through his scriptures. His wife was standing over him and he's saying to her, "Go away, leave me alone. I'm looking for a biblical text to support my pre-conceived notion!"
That is my perception of most persons who are anti-Mormons. They're not interested in this kind of rational discussion.
When we joined the LDS Church, I had spent fifteen years in the Presbyterian ministry. For almost three months I didn't hear from my brother or his wife, so I finally called them and the first thing that my brother's wife said to me was, "Well I guess we're happy that you're happy, but we're really concerned that you would join a non-Christian cult." Normally I would've thought that if, when Beth and I joined the Mormon community, instead of just figuring that we'd gone off the deep end and gone screwy, my in-laws would have wondered if their pre-conceptions maybe were wrong. Those pre-conceptions have still not changed. We visit there and every now and then there's an anti-Mormon book lying out on the coffee table. It stays there a couple of days, and then sort of disappears. There is no desire to find out what we Mormons really believe.
I think my first contact with a real anti-Mormon was with John Smith, who ran a ministry to Mormons based in Oklahoma. When I was still a Presbyterian minister I had participated on the committee that examined The God Makers, a notorious anti-Mormon film. He accused me of being a wolf in sheep's clothing. You need to know that I have been a Latter-day Saint twice, and just before I was ordained to the Presbyterian ministry I asked to have my name taken off the rolls of the LDS Church. Well, in 1971 you didn't just have your name removed from the Church's rolls; the only way you got out was to be excommunicated. They figured that if I was becoming a minister in a Presbyterian Church that was probably apostasy, so they excommunicated me.

Another Setback for W Hotels
The three sailors aboard the Open 60 W Hotels were dealt another blow early this morning when they broached after being struck by a large wave. The trio had been waiting for an opportunity to re-ship its port rudder, which had only recently been repaired.
Although there were no injuries, the boat is now over 100 miles behind its rival Estrella Damm, which crewmembers Alex Pella, Pepe Ribes and Stan Schreyer reported was making 17 knots some 400 miles west of Gibraltar. The two boats are racing to set a new benchmark between the cities of New York and Barcelona, Spain.
Yesterday morning a wave had hit the windward rudder. We had almost completely fixed it, said W Hotels crewmember Pachi Rivero. We were nearly there when this wave hit and we lost control. It felt like a lot of time knocked down, and on top of the broken rudder, which was just curing, it is a pretty sorry sight. We have put as much as we can right for the moment. It is a shame because many boatyards would be envious of the repair which Too Piris had done and we were almost ready to go.

This week I preached on the topic of lesser and greater evils. I touched on the question of how we know whether we're choosing the lesser of two evils out of necessity, or if there are really more options. As I mention in the sermon, I don't think there's an easy answer. And I'm curious [Read More…]

Ceremony & Reception Venue:
The Tracy Castle
"The Dark Ages of the Castle are back! Old videos and DVD's handed out suggest that this place was once a nice place to get married. However now that Josh, the old coordinator/customer service is gone, the only thing left is the Venue. The Venue is pretty, but there is a ton of baggage that comes along with it. Unfortunately I know from personal experience. I only wish my wife or I had read the reviews before making our first visit. One positive thing is they are no longer false advertising with their old website, but they still claim to be an all-inclusive venue. You can ask about the prices of things such as: Flowers, Cake, Food and even give them your budget; they will tell you $2000 or $2500 for the Venue, give you information on the cost of their food, and explain you can negotiate and pick out what works with their vendors at the "Friends of the Castle" meeting. That's where they spring all sorts of hidden fees, when you are already committed with a deposit and expected to pay half of the total wedding the day of the meeting. You either continue at that point or walk away. I'm suggesting to everyone to walk away. I don't know what happened in the past, but I know now since I just got married that they don't delivery on all these services that they promise and charge you for. www.tracycastletruth.webs.com http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yAwKNt0Su8s http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L3Oc2wAd0IA"

Breakdown of a Racing Helmet
Make sure your helmet is more than a shiny hat.
Your mom wants it to meet the Snell standards. Always listen to mom.
Is anyone out there not clear about the purpose of a crash helmet? Okay, were not seeing any hands, but remember, you cant just strap a Tupperware bowl to your head and hope that yesterdays macaroni salad will provide adequate padding.
A helmet needs to be able to withstand heavy impacts from a crash and the flying debris that often follows. It must stay securely strapped to your head and keep your ears from being burned in the event of a fire. The Snell Memorial Foundation sets a widely adopted standard for helmet performance. (Formula 1s sanctioning body, the FIA, has a similar helmet standard that applies to some international racing events.) The Snell certification sticker on a helmet means it has passed a series of tests that, with any luck, you wont have to experience yourself. Here is a breakdown of a helmets parts, along with some highlights from the latest Snell SA2010 standard (updated every five years, though helmets as old as 10 years are often still acceptable).
For more on safe head coverings, read our comparison of four crash helmets.

DiNapoli: Wall St. Tax Revenue Drops, Threatens Balanced Budgets
Welcome to Politics Bites, where every afternoon at It's A Free Country, we bring you the unmissable quotes from the morning's political conversations on WNYC. Today on the Brian Lehrer Show, New York State comptroller Thomas DiNapoli discussed his Wall Street forecast, and the role that the financial sector plays in the local economy.
As Wall Street sheds jobs, NY loses revenue
In his annual report on Wall Street profits and bonuses, and their impact on state and city services, Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli notes that Wall Street provided 14 percent of New York state tax revenues last year and about 7 percent of New York City tax revenues.
That represents a decline from previous years. Before the 2008 crisis, Wall Street tax revenues accounted for around 20 percent of state tax revenues. DiNapoli said that the drop in collected revenue reflects a shudder in the financial services sector of the local and national economy.
The year began with strong profits and jobs being added. Now we see the opposite: Profits tailing off. We have a cooler forecast. We're starting to see firms laying people off; over the next year or so, as many as 10,000 jobs could be lost.
DiNapoli didn't ask anyone to cry for bankers and investors. Profits might be down by a third, but the industry is still doing very well by comparison. Average salaries are still five times higher than most other private sector employees.
What should Occupy Wall Street make of the decline?
Declining tax revenues may engender cognitive dissonance among Occupy Wall Street protesters. Those who want to see corporate profits reined in, exorbitant salaries reduced, or (in the extreme) big banks topple, have to rectify their demands with the reality that less revenue from the industry would likely mean cutbacks to public employee compensation, layoffs, and and overall reduction in state and city services.
DiNapoli said that the scariest number was the 10,000 jobs Wall Street is expected to shed in the next year.
When employment contracts, that's personal income tax revenue, and money that's spent in neighborhoods on goods and services, so that's where that ripple effect happens.
Mayor Bloomberg recently argued that public employee unions participating in Occupy Wall Street were "vilifying" the very people whose taxes paid their salaries. DiNapoli didn't say anything to that effect, but he did point out that the city and state budgets are based on projected revenue; when gaps appear, governments really miss the Wall Street cushion, and may have to look for spending cuts.
Anybody that thinks this is a return to the old days, where at the end of the fiscal year overheated Wall Street profits took care of any budget imbalance, that's not happening this year.
Responding to Bloomberg
One caller brought up the most obvious response to Bloomberg's argument: Everyone who has a job pays taxes, and if wealth and employment were less concentrated toward lower Manhattan, revenue lost from Wall Street could be made up on Main Street. DiNapoli agreed.
Anybody that's working is going to be paying taxes and contributing revenue. We want to keep New York as the capital for finance, and we need to understand and be reminded how important that sector is to our economy—but there are other parts of our economy as well, and too many people in many other sectors of our economy that are on the unemployment line today. If we could get more of them to work, that's going to help get the revenue as well.

February 17, 2011
Leicester, United Kingdom (rushPRnews) 02/17/11 — Solar Guide, the free online resource for homeowners and engineers regarding all solar-related issues, has found the average price of a domestic solar PV installation to be less than £12,000.
Figures, taken from the second half of 2010, show the average cost of a completed solar installation was £11,657. The research was carried out by Solar Guide to see how quickly customers can expect to see a return on their investment and to investigate the growth of the UK's solar market.
From June – December 2010 experts at Solar Guide studied 2030 customers using a total of 286 different companies, all of which will be eligible for the Feed-In Tariff (FIT).
The Government's Feed-In Tariff scheme allows homeowners, businesses and communities to receive payments for generating their own renewable electricity. As well as lowering their energy bills this scheme has the added advantage that applicants can receive extra cash by exporting any unused electricity to the power grid.
Since the launch of the Feed-In Tariff in April 2010, more than 21,000 registered installations have been carried out across the UK.
The size of a solar panel installation and the amount of electricity it produces determines how big a payment someone can receive. And Solar Guide's very own Feed-In Tariff Calculator allows potential customers to see exactly how they could benefit.
Anyone wishing to install solar PV panels on their buildings can calculate what size a solar panel system they need, how much it will cost and how much money they could be paid back from the Feed-In Tariff.
According to Solar Guide, consumers adopting a solar PV installation in the beginning of 2011 can expect to pay between £11,000 and £14,000 for a 3kWp system which would pay for itself in eight to nine years with a return of 5 to 6% AER over 25 years.
David Holmes, Founder of Solar Guide said: "The statistics by Solar Guide shows a positive response to the Government's Feed-In Tariff. Our customers are seeing the benefits of solar electricity for themselves and the profits to be gained from this growing market.
"I would encourage anyone considering a solar installation to visit the Solar Guide website. With over 500 nationwide solar installers, all MCS accredited, we can provide you with a complete service starting with up to three free quotes. Our unique feedback service also enables customers to leave honest assessments and up to date reviews of installers, to give the fullest peace of mind."

Patrick Barry presents, "The Force of Focus, The Art of Advocacy: How the Words You Choose Can Change the World Judges See"
A lot of lawyers seem to forget that the briefs they write will be read by an actual person. They're too long. They're too dry. And they often fail to fulfill their core function: telling a persuasive story.
In this lunch talk, Patrick Barry, who co-taught a course on brief-writing in the University of Michigan Child Welfare Clinic last semester, will help you avoid some of these mistakes and many others. He will also show you what some of the best brief-writers around do in their briefs, so that you can start doing the same - to the delight of your clients (and Bigelows)! Organized by the Office of the Dean of Students.

Career, Technical, and Agricultural Education (CTAE) involves integrated relationships between academic education and specific career opportunities. CTAE offers lifelong learning experiences through a variety of Career Pathways. These pathways are state-approved career enhancement programs that, combined with the recommended academic course work, will prepare students to continue their education at any level or enter the world of work. The Career Pathways concept provides focus and a personal plan for EVERY student that involves parents, counselors and teachers in the process. In addition to selecting a Career Pathway, students are encouraged to participate in work-based learning. Work-based learning opportunities are available through individual job shadowing, internships, co-op, or through the formal Youth Apprenticeship program offered at both high schools.
Preparing young people to participate in our economy is a critical challenge. We must equip students with a broad range of skills to enable them to succeed in their future careers. Students must acquire a sophisticated grasp of technology and its applications in the real world. They must learn to communicate effectively and develop the ability to master new skills and find creative solutions to problems. Most importantly they must learn to continue to learn--in post secondary education, in their careers, and throughout life.
As we enter the 21st century, we invite you to join us in creating futures for students that are economically rewarding and personally satisfying.
Career, Technical, and Agricultural Education in the Oconee County School System will be nationally recognized for excellence by ensuring that all students receive skills that prepare them for post-graduate success through rigorous application of curriculum, leadership development, and community/business partnerships.
To build a bridge between academic knowledge and technical skills to promote personal and career success.
Oconee County Schools will be a nationally-recognized leader in academic achievement by ensuring all students receive a rigorous, balanced education that will enable them to compete in and contribute to a global society.
