Postgame Quotes - October 20, 2013
Pistons at MagicDetroit: Maurice Cheeks | Andre Drummond | Peyton Siva
Orlando: Jacque Vaughn | Kyle O'Quinn | Tobias Harris | Victor Oladipo
Pistons Head Coach Maurice Cheeks
(On removing Peyton Siva in the first half) "I always knew point guards were important. I tried to just give him a breather, like a break, because I knew that he was going to be playing the whole second half. I really was just trying to give him a quick breather and it kind of collapsed on us right there but we got back in it."
(On his team's comeback in the second half) "We just need to play a little bit harder and make them miss shots. They were making shots but I don't think we were helping them miss shots. We made some substitutions, put some different guys in there. It was a 23-24 (points deficit) and they got it down to a 17-16 (points deficit) and we just started being a little bit more aggressive defensively."
(On Peyton Siva playing through an injury) "He's (Siva) tough and that was tough for him to play against. That kind of defense with those guys swarming him like that, and he's not that big so it's going to be a little tougher for him but the way he played; I knew he could play that way. He played 46 minutes. As a rookie playing like that, it's going to be tough but I thought he was great."
On Josh Smith playing more comfortably… "He (Smith) was on the bench for a while. He came back in and he played well. I think he just had a little bit more energy, a little bit more life to him, and he played well. He was active, he was active defensively, and he was active offensively."
(On his team's turnovers in the first half) "The ball wasn't as free for some reason. I guess in the fourth quarter you realize how important it is and I think our guys realized how important it was. The first couple of quarters were not good but fortunately we took care of it in the fourth quarter."
(On Kentavious Caldwell- Pope's shot selection)
"I liked it. I don't think it was crazy with his shooting. He was starting for the first time in his career and I thought he played pretty well. Each game I think he learns a little bit something, learns about better shot selection. He just learns a little bit more and for rookies to do that I think that's pretty good."
Pistons Center Andre Drummond
"He (Siva) passed the test since summer league in my book. For a rookie to come out here and play 47 minutes and play the way he did is absolutely outstanding. Of course he made some mistakes but he is a rookie. I am still making mistakes and I am in my second year. I am really proud of him and told him as soon as we walked off the court. He didn't fold and played his heart out."
(On comeback) "I can't tell you the words that were said to us by Coach but there were quite a few words exchanged by all of us. He knows how to get his players going and it fueled the fire. He is a player's coach and he played in the league so he knows what it takes to get a reaction out of somebody. He can say certain little things that make you think twice and gets you to start playing again. It is just a blessing having him here and I am just glad he is my Coach."
"This is already my season. I take every game seriously. Every day is a stepping stone for all of us. We are starting to come together. I am proud of everybody tonight. We came out and were getting killed in the second quarter, things were going South and we came together, figured it out and it came down to the last shot."
"We (Drummond, Monroe, and Smith) all can pretty much do the same thing. Josh obviously shoots the three but can also bring the ball up the floor and create for the other players. Greg's passing of the ball and can create off the block…the same with me as I can create for people off the block. I can just grab rebounds, block shots, and dunk everything I get my hands on. It is just fun. We have never played with each other before even for Greg and me. We are figuring it out and it is all starting to come together."
"We tried to make a late run and started playing hard. We can see the potential of our team when we start playing hard. I think we played a good game tonight."
"It is just tough when you don't have another point guard. Kyle did a good job of handling the point guard position. Guys got tired and when we started putting in that conscious effort, guys that came off the bench like Jonas, Kyle, K.P., gave us good minutes and all of our starters picked up the energy."
"I know I made some mistakes out there with just taking care of the ball, but a lot of them (veterans) gave me some good compliments like running the team and playing all those minutes. Like Mo (Cheeks) said, he never looked at the stat sheet after a game. He felt like we all played hard and contributed something. He saw what we can do and that is what we are trying to build on. Guys will get healthy. Rotations will get better but right now we are just trying to push through."
Magic Head Coach Jacque Vaughn
Talk about end of the game and learning lessons from that situation: "I look at it entirely different perspective of we need everybody prepared to play. That could have been three games in four nights, four games in five nights and we had a group in there that I wanted to keep those guys in for them to finish. To see what it feels like to finish at the end of games. Good test, especially with Detroit having their stars in the game."
On Tobias and his ankle: "yes, it was the same ankle and he's going to be ok. So, it's good to see him out there and I just talked to him and he's going to be ok."
On the Magic's defense played in the first three quarters tonight: "It was great to see, like you said, pretty much under 40 percent most of the night, nine points in the second, 18 in the third that we gave up and so even though we didn't shoot the ball very well it gave us a chance to win a ball game. The deflections, the steals, the activity, it was great to see."
On Victor being more aggressive, how has he done: "I think on both ends of the floor he was part of that unit that really got us going defensively and with his pressure our ability to create havoc on the defensive end of the floor. He was part of that, and then his attacks offensively. I specifically remember a shot of his getting blocked by Drummond, one of the best shot blockers in the league, I love it though. It gives us an aggressive mentality where we're dictating what's going on."
On end of the first half and what team did well: "I think overall the first thing I loved was our heads didn't go downwards at all. There was a confidence that we were still in the game, and there was a lot of game to be played and I think we showed that by defensively getting into guys, creating turnovers and creating a pace that we wanted to play at."
On full-court pressure throughout game and why use that: "Not the first time, we've used it in preseason before. It just gives us an aggressive mentality. Like I said, we're going to approach every game and we're going to try and dictate what goes on, on both ends of the floor that's how we have to play. And I think I have a group that's committed to playing that way."
On Maurice and keeping him aggressive and out of foul trouble: "It's tough, tough combination especially he started out guarding Smith tonight. Picked up some early ones, I don't mind that though, the fact that he was playing aggressive getting into passing lanes, you know really making guys make decisions under his direction, which was great to see. Then at the same time he was efficient on the offensive end of the floor, attacked the rim, so overall very good night for Maurice."
Were you happy with how Magic adjusted to Detroit as game went on: "That's the part of maturation right there, and it's seeing how the game is flowing. There's a different pace to every game, whether fouls are called early or not, and so being able to adjust to the referees to the style of play, the physicality of play. That showed a lot by our group for sure."
Magic Center Kyle O'Quinn
"Everyone was playing with a lot of energy, getting a lot of deflections, just playing off of everybody else's energy and we all brought it as a group."
"I looked up at the score and we were up 20, then up again and then we were up 4 and the lead was the worst thing you can have. You're mind just gets comfortable, it's just natural."
(On Victor Oladipo) "He's one of a kind. He just comes in and does anything he has to do to fit in. Whatever Coach says to do, he does. Whatever the vets and even the second year players, you give him a tip and he runs with it. On top of his talent, it just makes it that much better out on the floor."
Magic Forward Tobias Harris
"We got a lot of deflections. We showed when we focused on the defensive end, really locked in and that's where our lead came in this game. That's where we were able to get into the open court and make plays. We keep buying into that, keep buying into that type of way; we'll be a hard team to beat."
"The way you practice is the way you play. So if we go out there and get physical in practice and push each other, I think it correlates to the game. I think it showed tonight. So that's a good sign for us."
(On his three-point shooting) "Went out and shot the ball a lot, extended my range. Game by game I work on different things, just look to embrace that and continue to work on it as a part of my game arsenal."
Magic Guard Victor Oladipo
"I just missed shots today. I think I was pretty aggressive, I think I was pretty aggressive on both ends of the floor. Those are the shots I usually get so I'm going to keep shooting them."
"It helps a lot, when we (himself & Mo Harkless) set the tone on defense, we can play out there and our teammates feed off our energy. We just have to keep it up."
(On what he's learned summer league to now) "To stop going so fast. Sometimes I don't realize how fast I'm going. I missed a lay-up today and I was like, 'OK' but everybody was like running out and I was going so fast I didn't realize I missed it. So sometime I have to slow down. Other than that, I think I'm doing pretty good. There are mistakes here and there but, they're correctable mistakes so I'll keep growing as a player."

Long-lived bats offer clues on diseases, aging
By Tan Ee Lyn
HONG KONG (Reuters) - The bat, a reservoir for viruses like Ebola, SARS and Nipah, has for decades stumped scientists trying to figure out how it is immune to many deadly bugs but a recent study into its genes may finally shed some light, scientists said on Friday.
Studying the DNA of two distant bat species, the scientists discovered how genes dealing with the bats' immune system had undergone the most rapid change.
This may explain why they are relatively free of disease and live exceptionally long lives compared with other mammals of similar size, such as the rat, said Professor Lin-Fa Wang, an infectious disease expert at the Duke-NUS Graduate Medical School in Singapore who led the multi-centre study.
"We are not saying bats never get sick or never get infections. What we are saying is they handle infections a lot better," Wang said in a telephone interview.
What was missing from both species of bats was a gene segment known to trigger extreme, and potentially fatal, immune reactions to infections, called the cytokine storm.
Cytokine storms end up killing not only offending viruses in the body, but the host's own cells and tissues too.
"Viruses rarely kill the host. The killing comes from the host's immune response. So it looks like what bats are doing is depress the inflammation (cytokine storm). If we can learn that, we can design drugs to minimize the inflammation damage and control viral infection," Wang said.
The study, which saw the participation of researchers from China, Denmark, Australia and the United States, was published on Friday in the journal Science. Continued...

Bull Flags Abound
Yesterday's action was highlighted the the summer livewire stock AIG which saw a 25% move higher as it burst out of a tight wedge pattern. Elsewhere in the market, there are bull flags galore. PNC is a stock that is flagging nicely that has plenty of room to the upside. AIG should still be at the top of your list and you should trade any pattern or level intraday if the opportunity presents itself. Stay tuned to the radio where, like yesterday, Marc Sperling and others will take you through the AIG and other trades.

For the past few weeks we've been talking about various ways to catch postspawn smallies. I just realized, however, that I neglected a very effective technique when it comes to making these transition fish bite. That's the weightless, double-fluke rig.
It's easy to put together. All you need to do is tie a three-way swivel to your line and then a couple of leaders off the remaining two rings. I like my leaders to be two different lengths. It seems like if I make one about 9 or 10 inches long and the other 2 or 3 feet long, I have better results.
What I mean is that I catch a lot of doubles on those lengths. I think it's because most of the later postspawn fish are in loose schools. When one bass bites one bait, the others move in to see what's going on and to see if they can get in on the action. When they do that they see the other fluke and bite it.
I like the standard Zoom Fluke for most of my fishing. There's something about them that the fish like. I don't get real fancy with my hook, either. Sometimes I use a circle hook through the nose but at other times I run an offset worm hook into the nose, out the belly (through the slit) and then back into the body. I leave the point of the hook barely exposed above the back. That gives me good action and a good hook-set.
If you want a little more flotation with your baits try fishing Strike King's fluke-looking lures. They have a couple of different models. Pick the one you like and throw it. They're basically the same thing as a Zoom Fluke but they're a little lighter and float a little higher. That helps when you want to work them slow but don't want them to go all the way to the bottom.
The best retrieve is erratic. I twitch mine once, let it rest, and then twitch it two or three times until I find what they want. Just be careful not to move your baits too fast. Most times that'll kill the bite.
I don't worry much about color. If the water's fairly clear I fish something that looks like a natural shad. Sometimes, if the water gets dirty, I'll switch to a green pumpkin color. If you aren't sure, go with the natural shad stuff.
Your tackle choice depends upon where you live and fish. If the fish are small, spinning tackle is fine. If the fish are more than 3 or 4 pounds, I'd suggest baitcasting equipment. But hey, if you can cast weightless flukes better with a spinning rod, go for it. There's been plenty of giant fish caught on light tackle.
Go catch some of them!

Influential Arkansas legislator Jodie Mahony dies (Updated)
Jodie Mahony, who served many successful years as a member of the Arkansas House of Representatives and Arkansas Senate, has died after a long bout with cancer.
Mahony, who represented the El Dorado area, was always a key figure in championing progressive changes in the state, especially in the area of public education. Mahony was the brother of Emon A. Mahony Jr., a long-time Fort Smith resident — now living in El Dorado — who served as president of Fort Smith-based Arkansas Oklahoma Gas Corp..
Gov. Mike Beebe issued the following statement: "Jodie Mahony never quit. As a legislator, he fought until the end for causes important to him and to the betterment of Arkansans. When term limits dictated that he could no longer serve, Jodie joined the House staff and remained a key advisor on education issues. And when the doctors said that cancer had won, Jodie fought and stayed with us far longer than anyone expected. To his final days, you could find Jodie in the Capitol, still upbeat, still working the halls, and still fighting. Arkansas has lost an outstanding man who exemplifies public service in our State."
Updated info: Jake Files, a former member of the Arkansas House of Representatives from Fort Smith who served with Mahony, provided the following statement to The City Wire: "I respected and admired Jodie's knowledge and ability to get things done. He was a very effective leader for his district and the state, and someone of his caliber is not easily replaced. I wish his family and friends the best during this difficult time."
Rep. Rick Green, R-Van Buren, said Mahony's passing is a real loss for Arkansas' political system.
"I certainly considered him a friend and he'll be someone who will be sorely missed. The thing that struck me the most about him was that he was a no-frills legislator. He never sought to be a committee chairman or sought to be recognized by other members. He carried his bills around in a cardboard box. … He was just a basic person, but he was extremely effective. … I'd have to say he was the most effective (legislator), without question, that I've seen."
Green said Mahony was "very even tempered," but would become agitated when a fellow legislator or member of the press didn't follow the rules.
"Jodie was very particular about protocol. That speaks to the fact that he was very respectful of the institution," Green explained.
More important to Green was that Jodie never once mentioned or complained about his illness.
"He put all that aside and kept doing his job," Green said. "This is a real loss for us all."
Joseph Kirby Mahony, II, 70, died Dec. 5, 2009, He was the son of Mabel Farmer and Emon Mahony and the brother of Emon Armstrong Mahony, Jr., and the late Michael Farmer Mahony.
Born in El Dorado, AR, on Sept. 12, 1939, he attended Washington and Lee University, the University of Arkansas, and Southern State; was in the United States Marine Corps; and received his law degree from the University of Arkansas.
He returned home and joined the Mahony and Yocum Law Firm. Members of his family practiced law continuously in El Dorado for over 100 years, and his grandfather, father, mother, and both brothers were lawyers.
Jodie was elected to the Arkansas House of Representatives in 1970 and took office in 1971; he spent his first twenty-four years of public service in the House, his next eight in the Senate, and his final four back in the House before term limits forced him to retire. After retirement, he continued to work on education legislation for the Speaker of the House.
During his time in the Legislature, he introduced over 1400 bills and resolutions, served on major state and national legislatives committees and regional boards, and won both state and national awards for legislation. His focus was on improving public education, strengthening child support enforcement, improving services for the developmentally disabled, conserving natural resources — particularly water, revising election laws, and making state government more efficient. He served with Governors Bumpers, Pryor, White, Clinton, Tucker, and Huckabee.
Jodie never sought a leadership position in the House or Senate nor did he consider seeking higher office as he felt he could accomplish most in the State Legislature, a job he loved for thirty-six years. He chaired the Joint Interim Oversight Committee on Education Reform and was a member of more than a dozen legislative committees of the General Assembly. In addition, he served on committees of the National Conference of State Legislatures and the Southern Regional Education Board, and numerous subcommittees and ad hoc committees. He received national awards from the Nature Conservancy and the National Child Support Enforcement Association, which selected him as Legislator of the Year in 1994.
Jodie valued the Legislative staff, counted them as friends, and constantly acknowledged their contribution to his work in the General Assembly. He loved quail hunting in South Texas; he enjoyed travel, reading mysteries, fishing, and thoroughbred racing, and, a fine athlete, he played tennis and participated in a number of mini-triathlons. He was also a member of the Southern Regional Education, Nature Conservancy, and Vera Lloyd Foundation boards.
He is survived by his wife of 40 years, Bettie Anne Humphreys Mahony; sons Joseph K. Mahony, III, of Little Rock and Michael Emon Mahony of New York; brother and sister-in-law Emon and Kay Mahony of El Dorado; sisters-in-law Alice Mahony of El Dorado and Kathryn Schopfer of Dallas; nieces Martha Mahony of San Francisco, Michelle Mahony of Houston, and Elizabeth Nevenhoven of Ft. Smith; nephew Emon Mahony of Little Rock; and three grandchildren, Jordan, Alexandra, and Joseph K. Mahony, IV.
Visitation will be from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. on Tuesday at Young's Funeral Directors, 508 Champagnolle in El Dorado. The memorial service will be at 11 a.m. Wednesday at First Presbyterian Church, with a reception to follow in the Fellowship Hall.
In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to the Joseph K. Mahony II Scholarship Fund at the South Arkansas Community College Foundation, 300 South West Avenue, El Dorado, AR 71730, or the First Presbyterian Church of El Dorado, 300 East Main, 71730.

Solid start to Hong Kong art fair despite downturn
By James Pomfret
HONG KONG (Reuters Life!) - A burgeoning international art fair in Hong Kong aimed at tapping Asia's growing pool of contemporary art collectors, has shown positive signs of shrugging off the global economic downturn.
The event -- the Hong Kong International Art Fair or ART HK 09 -- is seen as Asia's answer to major international art fairs such as Art Basel in Switzerland and Frieze in London.
Hong Kong has been trying to position itself as Asia's cultural capital, and is now the world's third most important auction hub for Asian artwork, behind New York and London.
Spread throughout a cavernous hall in Hong Kong's convention center overlooking the city's sweeping harbor, a slew of big-hitting art dealers have been lured out this year including New York's Gagosian Gallery and London's White Cube.
Sprinkled among the 110 galleries from 24 countries are an array of works including "walking" minimalist LED nude sculptures by Julian Opie; raw, whorled, wood carvings by David Nash; lurid Chinese contemporary oil paintings by the likes of Yang Shaobin, haunting plastic dolls by Korea's Jin Young Yu, and a silver sculpture by Damien Hirst with a price-tag of 1.5 million pounds.
Despite recent signs of weakness in the global art market amid the financial downturn, there were a number of notable sales at ART HK 09 including a large Gilbert & George "Gingko" picture bought by an Asian collector for 325,000 pounds

She has no choice but to move to Canada where she discovers a family she never knew existed. But that's not all she discovers. She also finds out about some frightening and intriguing family secrets. One of which is about her: she isn't who, or what, she thinks she is. Book II, December Moon, comes out in September.
Where are your books available?
At the moment they are available as ebooks on Amazon, Smashwords, Barnes & Noble, Apple.
Where did you get the idea for your books?
It was during a visit to Canada in 2009. I was totally inspired by the beautiful surroundings there, particularly in British Columbia. It was so awe-inspiring. Those majestic mountains, the deep blue icy lakes, the dark forests, the vast ocean... it was all so dramatic and I thought it would be the perfect setting for a series of YA urban fantasy. One day we picnicked on a small beach in Powell River and the ideas just started to coming to me.
How did you come up with the titles?
To me, ravens are eerie and mysterious, just like my stories. That and the fact that there were so many of them where we visited in Canada! I'm not sure how I came up with December Moon to be honest... but I love it!
Who designed the covers?
I designed my first cover using a photo my husband took but after a month I realised it wasn't right, so I went online and searched the stock photography sites so I could purchase the perfect image. I eventually found it and designed the new cover around it. For December Moon, I did the same thing. I have to say, I'm totally in love with the December Moon cover! The picture I found is just exactly as I pictured the main character, December.
Who was your inspiration for writing?
There are so many authors who inspire me. JK Rowling, Stephenie Meyer, Margaret Atwood, Jean Auel, Sophie Kinsella, Ken Follett, Jenny Colgan... I could easily go on! But I am easily inspired, not just by people but by places, music and photos.
How many books have you written? Which is your favorite?
I've actually written three. The first, Molly, I wrote about 12 years ago but I got so tired of receiving rejection after rejection that I gave up writing books for a long time. I started again last year after I was made redundant and I've since written Raven and December Moon. My favourite is probably December Moon.
Do you have to travel a lot for your books?
I'd love to be able to say yes but I've never travelled for my books. I've been travelling and been inspired to write but never the other way round.
When did you write your first book and how old were you?
I was in my early 20s in the late 90s!
Do you think your books have the potential for a good movie?
Absolutely! Especially if it was filmed in British Columbia. That would be totally awesome. But then I guess all authors would say that.
Do you have any suggestions for me on how to become a better writer?
The best advice I can give you is to read, read, read! And then write, write, write. Reading other people's work really helps you to hone your own writing skills and the more writing you do, the better it will get. Don't just stick to one genre... read as many different styles as possible. It surprised me how much I learned that way.

After Wednesday's Atlanta auditions show, some outlets began reporting that Antonio "Skii Bo Ski" Wheeler, the red-shirted, smooth-dancing fast talker who successfully tried out for American Idol with I Heard It Through the Grapevine, was the same Antonio Wheeler tasered by an Orlando, Fla., police officer in March 2005.
WESH-TV in Orlando reports on the incident at the time.
Wheeler, who had been arrested on drug charges, was taken to the Florida Hospital Orlando after police came to believe he had swallowed crack cocaine. When he refused to give a urine sample, he said, a police officer tasered him twice while he was handcuffed and strapped to a hospital gurney.
"It's like a traumatic moment, being tortured," Wheeler later testified in a trial against the officer, who was charged with two misdemeanor counts of battery. "It wasn't voluntary. It was mainly forced by the Taser. . . . I was to the point where I felt if I didn't [urinate], I didn't have any choice. I was just going to keep getting Tased all night. He Tased the [urine] out of me."
A jury cleared the officer for one of the battery charges, but deadlocked on the stemming from his use of the Taser, resulting in a mistrial. A second jury also deadlocked, and that charge was eventually dismissed.
Wheeler, who had all charges against him dropped, sued the hospital, the city of Orlando and the police officer. (You can read the complaint he filed against the city here.)

I think those of us who are eager to try these out, merely want to get rid of the piss-yellow color, and that should be doable with these LED's.
The error message is not pleasant, however it doesn't harm your car in any way (it's not even stored, just a bulb check), plus, I'm sure it's a matter of tuning the resistor a bit. There will be definitely an update/upgrade which will take care of it.
What this intelligent man just said!
And getting your dealers opinion on "aftermarket" products... FAIL.
I understand your concerns but I've been modding my cars for years and realistically... It's all trial & error. Now even though I get no errors, I would still keep em if I did knowing it's simply a lessor 'current' that the car is seeing. I also have the MTEC in my e65 and although they are not bright as factory F10s, I am completely happy with the look/brightness/color they provide.
And head on in Sunlight!
Again... Anything beats that creamy vanilla color from stock.

I have to define the meaning of liberty. I know the basics of what it means, but I need some help to make it deeper.
Thank you for using the Jiskha Homework Help Forum. It's always a good idea to begin with a definition from a good dictionary:
Main Entry: lib·er·ty
Pronunciation: 'li-b&r-tE
Function: noun
Inflected Form(s): plural -ties
Etymology: Middle English, from Middle French liberté, from Latin libertat-, libertas, from liber free —more at LIBERAL
Date: 14th century
1 : the quality or state of being free: a : the power to do as one pleases b : freedom from physical restraint c : freedom from arbitrary or despotic control d : the positive enjoyment of various social, political, or economic rights and privileges e : the power of choice
2 a : a right or immunity enjoyed by prescription or by grant : PRIVILEGE b : permission especially to go freely within specified limits
3 : an action going beyond normal limits: as a : a breach of etiquette or propriety : FAMILIARITY b : RISK, CHANCE <took foolish liberties with his health> c : a violation of rules or a deviation from standard practice d : a distortion of fact
4 : a short authorized absence from naval duty usually for less than 48 hours
synonym see FREEDOM
- at liberty 1 : FREE 2 : at leisure : UNOCCUPIED
Now, to make it "deeper" consider what it means to you!
P.S. Just look at this definition:

Palm Desert neighborhood soaks up $2.8 million from poor property design
PALM DESERT, Calif. - Araceli Moreno has lived in the Paseo Vista development in Palm Desert for the past 8 years. She pointed out the areas where a series of rainstorms caused severe flooding, sometimes up to two feet, throughout her community in 2008, 2009 and 2010.
A Riverside jury delivered a verdict of nearly $2.8 million in damages in Paseo Vista's favor Thursday after the homeowners association took legal action in 2010.
"To hear we got the money to get it corrected is great," said Moreno.
Attorney Robert Gilliland said it was professional negligence, blaming the project developer and civil engineer Stantec for poorly designing the 65-home development's grading and drainage system.
"Stantec's position was that they were not responsible, but rather the grading contractor who performed the work of the retention basins caused the flooding," said Gilliland.
Gilliand's legal team discovered Stantec was at fault for neglecting to consider the the large pockets of clay or "problem soils," which caused water to pond, and for allowing emergency overflow drains to be placed at a higher elevation than ground level.
Neighbors said they look forward to the project to getting corrected as soon as possible.
"Now the association has a new lease on life, they'll have the funds to re-engineer the grading deficiencies to fix draining and make it what it should've been from the very beginning," said Gilliland.

Social Security in rural America
Social Security has a greater economic impact in rural areas than it does in metropolitan ones, according to a study conducted by Roberto Gallardo at the Southern Rural Development Center (SRDC) at Mississippi State University. Dr. Gallardo conducted the study in conjunction with the Daily Yonder, the independent rural news journal published by the Center for Rural Strategies.
Dr. Gallardo found that Social Security makes up a greater proportion of rural counties' total income. The study also revealed that a greater percentage of rural populations receive Social Security payments than metropolitan populations do.
In addition to creating national reports on the impact of Social Security in rural America for the Daily Yonder, the project created reports for each rural and "micropolitan" county in the United States. Rural Strategies distributed these reports directly to community media in those counties, localizing the story for each county. (Micropolitan counties are those that contain small cities -- less than 50,000 residents).
More than 90 newspapers and radio stations in 33 states have produced stories about Social Security's economic impact, as of November 10, 2011. In addition, another 150 radio stations broadcast a network news report on the study. This map shows where the story has been printed and broadcast.
"The goal of this project is to get local, newsworthy information about Social Security directly to rural residents through a targeted and trusted source -- local media," said Tim Marema, vice president of the Center for Rural Strategies. "It's important for rural communities to have this information about Social Security at a time when policy makers are considering changes in this program."

For a company using an 192.168.1.1, or any other IP address, it is important to utilize only the very best routers. When it comes down to it, Cisco is far and away the safest options out there, even when going against Huawei routers. While Cisco equipment often costs more, it is the reliability and safety that makes the equipment so desirable.
For starters, it is possible to configure an easy VPN all the way to customizing advanced routing between two fiber endpoints. Really, whatever you might want to do with your 192.168.l.l IP address, you can do it. All of the Cisco hardware runs flawlessly with one another and is not going to run into problems where there is a weak link in the chain. While it is always important to implement a security feature on the router in order to make sure it is secured to the highest possible standard, in terms of just hardware, there is nothing like it.
Beyond the hardware, the customer service is the best on the market. With the professional customer service representatives out there, it is possible to work out any possible problem you are having with the 192.168.l.l address or any other element of your network. The reps know the hardware in and out, which is not something that can be said regarding Huawei.

text: MINNEAPOLIS, Feb. 14, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- A new dog leash invented by a woman in Idaho was recently introduced through infomercial. The Instant Trainer(TM) is a humane solution that stops dogs from pulling when being walked and greatly improves the walking experience for both dogs and their owners. Lambert & Lambert, the licensing firm that put the deal together, released the news now that the product hit store shelves at Walmart, Target, and others. Trevor Lambert, the president of Lambert & Lambert said, "We are happy to facilitate deals between independent inventors and companies well-positioned to commercialize new inventions. It's truly satisfying when we are also involved in design and development like with the Instant Trainer(TM) and so can contribute on multiple levels to make the invention a success." Terry Silva, the inventor of the Instant Trainer(TM), initially developed the product for her 110 pound German Shepherd-Alaskan Husky mix after he dragged her across the street, causing cuts and bruises that sent her to the emergency room. "I went to the Dollar Store and purchased a bunch of dog collars and linked them together over his spine and around his abdomen," said Silva. "I was pleasantly surprised when it worked, so I had a sturdier one made that my dog Ziggy loved! He walked by my side and I never had to put any pressure on the new leash." Like most inventors who develop their invention, Terry determined that licensing it to a company with connections at retail would be the best option. That's when she reached out to Lambert & Lambert, an industry expert, to help her design and market her new invention, make presentations, and negotiate the license deal. "Working with Lambert & Lambert has been a pleasure. They are true professionals and I couldn't have done it without them."

The boss of Airbus maker Eads has admitted the company's proposed £30 billion merger with defence group BAE Systems has spooked staff and backers of both groups.
Tom Enders said last night that negotiations between the companies and the French, German and British governments "cannot go on much longer".
Some politicians have demanded the companies ask the Takeover Panel to extend the October 10 deadline to formalise the deal, which is hugely sensitive as Eads wants to water down the control Paris and Berlin wields over it.
Enders said: "Combined, we have more than 200,000 employees wondering what is happening, investors who are reacting badly."
Enders, who is widely expected to take over the top job at the merged submarines-to-satellites empire, described the deal as a "merger of hope".
He argued that there would be tremendous growth opportunities, safeguarding jobs, but governments fear there could be large-scale redundancies under a tie-up.Reuse content

Yeah, you heard that right. Kate Upton is a movie star now. Sure, she's been in a couple of things where she basically stood around and played Kate Upton, but her new movie THE OTHER WOMAN will be her first, full-fledged acting part. Great for her, but I'm rather underwhelmed thus far by the set candids. Hopefully this is just one of those between take moments where she's got her sexy costume covered up by a thick coat. Otherwise, this is going to be the mother of all miscast roles. If you're going to put Kate in your movie, you better be prepared to show off her tits.
If you're curious about the rest of the film, it stars Nikolaj Coster-Waldau (aka Jaime Lannister from Game of Thrones) as a cheating husband who's wife (played by Cameron Diaz) finds out about his extracurricular activities and decides to seek revenge. Kate will play one of his side quests who was similarly unaware of his marital status and thus joins with Diaz to take him down. Sounds like something my ex-girlfriends would enjoy. I doubt I'll see it, unless Kate plans on combining her first big time movie role with her first full-fledged nude scene, in which case I'll have my ticket pre-ordered.

I ask the impossible!
Conduit for mechanical protection
Okay, I had my rough inspection yesterday, and I have a few issues to resolve before the inspector will pass my project. Kind of irritating because it holds up insulating, and my furnace is not keeping up with the cold we have right now - and I have the ceiling insulated with R30 unfaced batts over top of the joists, just not the walls, and he's okay with that but I do have 2 rows that cover wires, so when I get reinspected I'll pull those down before he gets there Monday.
Anyway, my issues are that
1) I have wires that are accessible in side attics that will be enclosed, I just hadn't finished the framing - doesn't require anything I wasn't already going to do.
2) I have a 4x4 box for 2 switches that the inspector didn't like, it was a pain figuring out a box that would actually fit a 2" deep wall cavity and had 2 gangs, but again on this one I was squeezed for time and went with the only box that would work from the hardware store at the end of the street because I didn't have enough time last weekend to get to the big box store.
3) He wanted me to use fire block in all penetrations through top plates and bottom plates, easy enough to do. Kind of redundant though since NONE of the wall cavities involved are sealed, i.e. they're open on the back to the knee wall attic. I'm fine with just humoring him on this since it's an easy thing to do.
4) I had a surface mounted schedule 40 electrical PVC conduit run for the washing machine. He wants to see EMC.
The last one is where my question comes in. This is a conduit run dedicated for the washing machine and a sink pump. That's easy to take care of. But I want to be thorough so that when he comes back, I don't have to deal with the same issue in a different location just because he didn't look at everything this time.
I have 2 more surface mounted conduit runs of 2' long going out of the wall in the same room and straight up through the ceiling. These are in the middle of the run and they're above the water heater, I did this because it's a difficult area to access because of the water heater and the wall is a formerly exterior wall so there are a lot of layers to go through to go inside the wall. This is the middle of 2 cables that are secured to the top of joists over the utility room and fished through walls in the kitchen, and he passed rough inspection for the kitchen.
In short, pulling the cable out would be a huge pain in the ass, and would probably keep me from being able to take care of everything to be ready for inspection Monday, and to get inspection Monday I need to request it today.
So, the way I see it, my options are to either leave the PVC or do splices inside a junction box at the ceiling and at the wall penetration with EMC between the junction boxes. I'm not sure I'd have enough wire to get 6" x2 inside the junction box, and if I do and can do this with 1 splice I will, but for now I'm planning based on needing to do 2 splices.
Preferred would be to not have to splice, so the question is would a 2' conduit run like this be considered subject to mechanical damage and thus require the EMC?

Is there any way to post a pic of the area in question?
What didn't the inspector like about the 2 gang box?
IMO, not that it counts, the PVC would have been sufficient down the wall for the protection of the cable for the washer.

I ask the impossible!
My digital camera quit last Friday, gears in the mechanism for the mechanical zoom have stripped so it shuts down when turned on because it can't open the lens.
On the box, I had installed the metal box and mud ring cover shown below, he wanted a box with the tabs for attaching to the stud and he complained that the metal box needed to be bonded to the ground - correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't grounding the switch provide a path to ground for the box? At any rate, I prefer to avoid the issue with a plastic box, so I'm going to use the plastic box and cover shown below.

Your original question is way to long to read. So I will answer the last question concerning the boxes you picture.
Your inspector is giving you his interpretation of the code requiring boxes to be supported. The metal box can be supported to either metal or wood studs as it is and the mud ring is correct for 2 gang application. There are more than one way to secure a metal box and the code does not require the mounting ears. I use a length of 2x4 for wood or a length of metal stud for metal. Sometimes I just use the two small holes on the side. I only do this when I am using conduit. I have NEVER used a box with mounting ears. They cost to much.
The plastic box and ring are self explanatory. Don't argue with the inspector unless its something major. Like if he was requiring you to use boxes with flanges throughout a complete structure. I would fight that until. One box is no big deal.

Pretty bogus reason to disallow that mounting method for the box. You would still need to bond the box with a grounding conductor and a ground screw.

Okay, for a work related project I have my work camera with me, so I have some photos relating to the question for which I really need the feedback. The box is kind of a nuisance that's questionable if there's anything actually against code, but not worth arguing so I'm just making the change. But man, what does bother me is the fact that I'm stuck holding off on insulating, the heater can't keep up and it's getting cold inside, and it has to be like this until Tuesday afternoon, which is the next day the electrical inspector works.
Pictured below is the run from the framing for the subpanel to the duplex receptacle for the washing machine and sink pump, which the inspector specifically pointed out that schedule 40 PVC conduit needs to be metal for protection from mechanical damage. He also said it needs to be secured, which it is so I don't know why he was pointing it out, I just assume he wanted me to be sure when I replaced it with EMT that I secured it.
I don't mind changing that one, again if nothing else just to humor the AHJ - that one isn't that difficult to change.
The real question for the other 2 pictures. These are the 2 other locations I have used PVC conduit. One is a 1-1/2" and a 3/4" run from the main panel to the ceiling, not too hard to change. The other is 2 runs from the ceiling down 18" to enter into the wall. I'd have to make 2 splices in each cable because I don't have 12" of free length and it's the middle of 30' or so, and the fishing and securing of these cables was a lot of work.
The question would be if I have a leg to stand on to leave this particular run as schedule 40 PVC? I mean, I think I get that schedule 40 isn't approved for protection from severe mechanical damage, and I can see that 3-4' off the ground I could ram a appliance into it while moving it around, but maybe the top 18" near the ceiling is a bit remove from anywhere any damage is going to happen unless something launches like a rocket.
Or should I go ahead, cut the wire and make my splices in junction boxes connected my EMT?
I ask the impossible!
The biggest problem for me is the timing of this... Rough inspection failed on Thursday, so after this I go to work for the last couple hours of the day, I come home (takes longer because of freezing rain), we have dinner, give the kids their bath, by the time I get my list of materials together, it's 5 minutes before the big box stores close, and it's about a 5 minute drive to get there. So I can't even get materials Thursday, even if I had been able to schedule the re-inspect Friday I wouldn't have been ready. Since the inspector doesn't work Monday, I'm stuck without insulation Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday before I get inspected, and even if I pass I don't have the time on evenings I would on a weekend.
What's worse is the weather outside is cold, and that was less of an issue before when the least insulated room upstairs was closed off by a door. The very last thing I had done preparing for rough inspection was the reframing of the wall that had the door because I'm putting in a larger door. So now I have no door and a huge escape path for the heat in the rest of the house. I'd rather have been able to get that room insulated so I could hang the door after the floor levelling project that's likely to skew the door frame a little.
At this point it is what it is, I just want to do what I need to do so I pass on Tuesday.

Choral Arts: An Enchanted Christmas
The Holiday Concert and Gala of the Choral Arts Society of Washington was held at the Kennedy Center Dec. 16. Olwen Pongrace was gala chair, and the Ambassador of Italy and Mrs. Bisogniero served as honorary patrons, as 2013 is the Year of Italian Culture in the United States. The program in the Concert Hall fittingly highlighted music from Italy, including traditional Christmas carols as well as music of Andrea Gabrieli and Salmone Rossi, who wrote scared Hebrew texts in the Baroque style. The Children's Chorus of Washington, under the baton of Joan Gregoryk, performed selections from Benjamin Britten's "A Ceremony of Carols," composed during a perilous Atlantic crossing during World War II. Guests rose to acknowledge the many invited military families. Artistic director Scott Tucker led the audience in several carols, including an Italian verse to "White Christmas." Post-performance festivities included a silent auction and reception followed by dinner and dancing at the Roof Terrace level.

The Cowboys cut Miles Austin and DeMarcus Ware? Who cares?
The Giants possibly found their new starting running back? Pssh, overrated.
The 49ers traded for one of the worst first-round picks in recent memory? That's just stupid.
All of those stories pale in comparison to today's real news: kickers, kickers, kickers. They may think they are being devalued with the movement to push back the extra point, but on Tuesday, they were signed up as if they were their team's first priority.
The Colts' Adam Vinatieri got it started Tuesday when he re-signed for two years and $5 million.
Phil Dawson followed with a two-year deal of his own to stay with the 49ers.
Then the Bills re-signed Dan Carpenter for four years, and the Jets gave Nick Folk , the guy they franchise-tagged two weeks ago, a four-year contract worth $12 million.
Also, the Giants are reportedly close to re-signing Josh Brown.
Fantasy Analysis:
What does it all mean?
Not a whole lot. Yes, Vinateri and Dawson were very solid, top-10 fantasy kickers last season. For them, age is not an issue. If you want to rank them, I think those guys are at the top, followed by Folk, Carpenter and Brown. But keep in mind that, yes, kickers are a week-to-week crapshoot in general. Never take one before the final two rounds of your draft, and be flexible; don't be afraid to drop a highly ranked preseason option in favor of a more productive guy who has come from off the radar. I try to play kicker-by-committee, choosing the best kicker each week on a decent offense with a good defensive matchup. It's a lot of guesswork that doesn't always pay off, but welcome to fantasy sports. Half the job is guessing right.

Stepping out to promote their hit series, a full slate of co-stars joined together at TV Academy's special screening of "Glee" at Leonard H. Goldenson Theatre in North Hollywood, California on Tuesday night (May 1).
Coming together for the Hollywood premiere of their newest film, the cast members of 20th Century Fox's "The Three Stooges" gathered together on the red carpet on Saturday afternoon (April 7).
Among those turning up at the star-studded Grauman's Chinese Theatre event were leading trio Sean Hayes, Will Sasso and Chris Diamantopoulos, as well as "Glee" actress Jane Lynch.
Getting movie goers ready for its April 13th release, "The Three Stooges" has just unveiled a brand new teaser trailer.
This revamp of the classic comedy trio sees Larry, Curly, and Moe getting into all kinds of trouble as they strive to save their childhood home.
Taking care of some promotional duties, the cast of "Glee" was spotted at the FOX All Star Party last night (January 8).
Lea Michele, Jenna Ushkowitz, Jayma Mays, and Jane Lynch all turned out to represent the ladies at Castle Green in Los Angeles.
Making a comeback from years ago, Larry, Moe and Curly are returning to the big screen for the upcoming film "The Three Stooges."
A brand new trailer was released to the web today (December 7) that features actors Sean Hayes, Will Sasso and Chris Diamantopoulos, who play the infamous trio.
Each year, the Primetime Emmy Awards are a highlight of the entertainment industry's fall season, and Sunday evening's ceremony definitely didn't disappoint.
With Jane Lynch tending to hosting duties, the 63rd incarnation of the Emmy's had plenty of memorable moments and appearances, with a bevy of trophies being handed out.
Readying for her grand moment in the spotlight, Jane Lynch was on hand at the press preview for The Academy of Television Arts & Sciences' 63rd Primetime Emmy Awards on Wednesday (September 14).
Clad in all black, the "Glee" actress rolled out the red carpet and took to the mic to say a few words ahead of hosting the Emmy Awards coming up this Sunday.
Looking to put some of its hard-earned cash towards a good cause, "Glee" is set to donate $1 million to school arts programs across the country.
Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment and the National Association for Music Education (NAfME) recently kicked off the "GLEE Give a Note" campaign.

The Grant County Fiscal Court did not hold a second reading of the ordinance to adopt the county budget during their May 22 special meeting, as they had previously planned.
The E-911 Board agreed during a meeting May 11 to recommend a $36 annual countywide unit service fee for the Grant County Fiscal Court to pass to collect revenue. The recommendation comes after researching details about a potential monthly water bill charge.
Vicki Brownfield was trying to make sense of her recent retirement when she got a call from her former employer, Williamstown Jr./Sr. High School. One of their instructors had to be placed on maternity leave, and they needed a long-term substitute to cover for her. Brownfield did not even hesitate.
The day after Grant County's Biggest Winner competition ended, Karen Schreyer fell down while running with friends and broke her clavicle.
"Maybe I was talking too much and not watching where to step," she said about the injury. "I'll start running again in July."
However, the 61-year-old's fortunes were reversed at the Derby Day festival when Schreyer was announced as the overall Biggest Winner.
Belinda Furman's dream of becoming a teacher began in elementary school.
Doris Freeman was only 24 years old when she was diagnosed with cancer. She and her husband were trying to have a second child, and at the same time she found out she was pregnant, she found out she had uterine, ovarian and cervical cancer.
The doctor told Freeman that if she was lucky, her body would feed the fetus and not the tumor. The baby was born in October, and by November a biopsy showed the tumor had grown to the size of a golf ball. By the time they removed it in February, it was the size of a grapefruit.
Kim Haubner didn't realize her cellphone was in the pocket of her jacket until the person she gave it to had already left the building.

Provide Platform for General Awareness
Regional Conferences
As part of general awareness-raising, regional conferences
on public health aspects of epilepsy have been organised.
Such regional conferences took place in all six WHO regions.
The last region to have its Regional Conference was EMRO,
where a conference was held in Cairo, Egypt in March 2003
and as in the other regions a Regional Declaration was developed
and adopted.
Development of Regional Reports
Status reports on the implementation of the GCAE are being
prepared in a number of WHO regions (AFRO, SEARO, WPRO, AMRO/PAHO),
which will include the data collected through the questionnaires.
These documents are intended to be tools for advocacy and
instruments for dialogue with governments, health care providers,
donors and other partners. The reports are working papers
and provide basic knowledge on epilepsy and basic facts about
the epidemiological burden, as well as proposals for the next
steps to be taken.
Sessions, Lectures, Meetings and Symposia
Sessions were organised in Beijing, China, at the International
Child Neurology Congress (21-25 September 2002), in Nagano,
Japan at the 4th Asian and Oceanian Epilepsy Congress (12-14
September 2002) and during the Eastern Mediterranean Congress
in Athens, Greece (22-24 November 2001).
A lecture was delivered in Sao Paulo, Brazil at the 3rd meeting
of the Brazilian Epilepsy Association (2 June 2002) and finally
a progress report was delivered at the annual meeting during
the meeting of Non-Governmental Organisations in neurology,
neuroscience and psychiatry, which is convened by WHO (16
December 2002).
A preparatory strategic planning meeting was organised in
Basel following the meetings of the Joint Executive Committees
earlier this year, with the aims to:
On 26 April 2003 EPICADEC (Epilepsy Care in Developing Countries)
funds were transferred to IBE and ILAE. On the occasion of
this transfer a symposium was organised.
Information and Public Relations
Two publications need to be mentioned especially: A supplement
of Epilepsia was published in October 2002, reporting
on the launch of the Global Campaign and a Manual for
Medical and Clinical Officers in Africa (August 2002)
was published, based on a manual written by the late Nelly
Dekker, a Dutch expatriate doctor who had worked in Ethiopia
and Kenya for many years. She was co-founder of the Kenyan
IBE chapter.
Assist Departments of Health in the Development
of a National Epilepsy Strategy
Country Resources for Epilepsy Questionnaire
These questionnaires were sent to all 196 WHO member states
and all IBE or ILAE chapters with the aim to map the needs
and resources for epilepsy world-wide.
In addition they have been translated into French and Spanish
for use in the French speaking countries of Africa and for
Latin America. The questionnaires are now being collected
in all six WHO Regions.
The collection of completed questionnaires is ongoing with
the assistance of some of the WHO Regional Advisors on Mental
Health as well as some members of IBE and ILAE.
To date questionnaires have been returned from over 100 countries.
Demonstration Projects
China : In China, 55,616 people were screened in
five provinces. A paper based on the outcomes of the first
phase was published in the journal Neurology in
May 2003. The outcomes of the epidemiological phase are illuminating.
Previously the lifetime prevalence of epilepsy was thought
to be approximately 4 in 1,000. From such figures it was also
estimated that there would be around 5 million people with
epilepsy in the country. Now the estimate is found to be 7
in 1,000. Therefore the estimated number of people with epilepsy
in China is almost 9 million.
There is a possibility to extend the project nation-wide;
fundraising efforts are being made through WHO channels.
Zimbabwe: The epidemiological survey has been completed,
and the next phase is about to begin.
Senegal: The Senegalese Project is completed and
the results are being analysed.
Argentina: The protocol for the Project has been
finalised. An updated budget and a plan for fundraising are
being developed.
Brazil: A Meeting of Principal Investigators was
held concerning the initiation and implementation of a Demonstration
Project in Brazil.
Pakistan : Through a local initiative a Comprehensive
Epilepsy Control Programme (CECP) was launched in Karachi
in March 2001 and is now extending services all over Pakistan.
Technical Consultative Meetings
Technical consultative meetings were organised by the WHO
Regional Advisors for Mental Health in collaboration with
the Global Campaign Secretariat with the aim to:
Such meetings
took place in Togo (March 2002) and Zimbabwe (4-5 June 2001
and 22-24 October 2002) in AFRO, in Thailand (19-22 November
2001) and Myanmar (23-25 September 2002) in SEARO, in the
Philippines (14-15 November 2001) in WPRO and in Argentina
(6-7 July 2001) and Brazil (08-10 August 2002 and 13-14 June
2003) in AMRO/PAHO.
Other Activities
Development of Evidence-based Guidelines
Guidelines on the treatment of epilepsy in childhood
and adolescence are being developed in collaboration with
the WHO Department of Child and Adolescent Health and Development
(CAH) and with the support of the WHO collaborative centre,
OASI, Sicily, Italy. These guidelines will hopefully be finalised
by the Lisbon congress, ready for field-testing.
WHO Regional Advisers on Mental Health
The annual meeting of the Regional Advisers for Mental Health
was held in WHO Headquarters in Geneva in March 2002. For
the second year "epilepsy" appeared on the agenda
and representatives of IBE and ILAE were invited to participate
in the discussions on this topic.

The tool is new to most of us too so if I were you I would do a little research a get a email address for the creator of the tool.
So Ive been playing around with wifizoo, both on BT3 and installed on BT2 using Dr_GrEeNs tutorial.
Im noticing that I am only able to capture useable cookies for gmail. Heres my test methodology:
I login to gmail 4 times. I see the cookie roughly 2 out of 4 attempts.
I login to another secure website i.e. hotmail 4 times. I see nothing, or if I do, when the cookie is set and I browse to the website, I see nothing (as if I am not logged in)
I login to yet another secure website 4 times. Same as above.
Note: I clear the cookie each time prior to logging in.
Ive tried this with approximately 4 other different popular secured websites, but it seems only gmail is susceptible to cookie interception.
I am able to see the traffic move back and forth in the shell prompt. I am running kismet for channel hopping. I have configured firefox to use the wifizoo proxy (127.0.0.1:8080).
I am using a dlink g630 wireless card (atheros), a netgear and a cisco wireless router.
Why cant I see any cookies for other websites?
The tool is new to most of us too so if I were you I would do a little research a get a email address for the creator of the tool.
I know that it is possible, since I have seen a number of video tutorials where people log on to different websites using wifizoo.
Some more theoredical questions I have are: If I am able to connect to a WEP or WPA secured network, why won't wifizoo pick up cookies coming accross the secured network? And what is to keep someone from developing "etherzoo" where they could plug into a default gateway/switch/router and intercept the cookies? To me, this would be a particularly devistating attack, since the victim would have no knowledge or indication that their account is being hijacked.
Edit cookie extension for firefox? Might work.
I felt like bending the bars back, and ripping out the window frames and eating them. yes, eating them! Leaping, leaping, leaping! Colonics for everyone! All right! You dumb*sses. I'm a mental patient. I'm *supposed* to act out!

The law regarding what a motorist is required to do when approaching a crosswalk where a pedestrian is present varies state by state. In some states, the law requires the motorist to yield, and in other states the motorist is required to stop.
For state-specific laws and codes the Resource Guide on Laws Related to Pedestrian and Bicycle Safety published by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, is a compilation of vehicle and traffic laws that were judged by the guide's developers to have the potential to improve pedestrian or bicycle safety, either positively or negatively. It is designed for easy use by anyone interested in vehicle and traffic law and pedestrian or bicycle safety.
