text: According to the dictionary, the word "dirt" is defined as "a filthy substance." This is clearly a well-merited definition. But a new book called Dirt attempts to redefine soil in a more-positive light. The book's authors are a team of dirt-lovers, including: Megan Borne, landscape and architectural designer at James Corner Field Operations in New York; Helene Furján, assistant professor of architecture at the University of Pennsylvania School of Design; and Lily Jencks, who runs the landscape and architectural design office LJA+L and in London; with Phillip M. Crosby, adjunct assistant professor of architecture in the Tyler School of Art at Temple University. Together, they make the case that dirt is an essential agent of landscape architecture, urban planning, design—as well as fine arts. The book investigates dirt as "active agents" in cities that have post-industrial ruins, such as Philadelphia: In such contexts, dirt is restored back into a center of productive urban life through both existing formal structures, as well as its informal and adaptive forms. It is capable of breathing life and cultivating growth—both plant and urban. Dirt features over 300 illustrations, and an arrangement of essays, interviews (including ones with Sylvia Lavin and Marion Weiss), and project materials by landscape architects, theorists, and various distinguished writers. As written by the founder of World Landscape Architecture, this book "will be on many landscape theory reading lists in the years to come." Architects might want to put it on their reading list, too. • $34.95; PennDesign and the MIT Press, January 2012

A settlement reached in Chardon
(Chardon) A legal fight has been resolved over a fund created to help victims of a deadly school shooting in Ohio.
A settlement was announced Friday resolving complaints by survivors of three students killed Feb. 27, 2012, at Chardon High School.
Terms weren't disclosed, but the announcement says affected families will receive "some additional payment."
Families of victims sued in May over money distributed from the fund. Some parents complained they were cut off while still suffering emotionally over the tragedy.
More than $950,000 was donated to the Chardon Healing Fund after the shooting. Testimony on the lawsuit indicated the fund paid the three families' living expenses for a year.
The teen convicted in the shooting, T.J. Lane, was sentenced to life in prison and is appealing.

A house full of garbage, rats and other objectionable matter will not be cleaned by the city of Chiefland.
This decision came Feb. 25 after the Chiefland City Commission learned Heidi Prophet will be 90 days behind her mortgage payment and the lender - the U.S. Department of Agriculture -- will foreclose.
Then the house becomes the lender's problem rather than a city problem, city leaders decided.

Hi I'm pretty new to this so please excuse that.
I'm trying to crack a WEP and its taking a really long time. Aircrack has been running for almost 48 hours and has tried over 2 billion keys but in that time i've only collected 156k IVs. I'm showing good signal strength. I started with 2 copies of aircrack running. One assuming that the key was 64bit and another assuming 128. Both have a fudge factor of 4.
I'm running backtrack 2 Final installed on a Dell X300 with 768 MB of ram and with a Linksys WPC54G V3.1; Any thoughts on what I'm doing wrong would be appreciated.
Thank You
To be successful here you should read all of the following.
If you are new to Back|Track
Back|Track Wiki
Failure to do so will probably get your threads deleted or worse.
Yea that's the video I watched to learn how to do it in the first place. I mean in the video his cracked it after 9 key attempts.
the pb is not aircrack , you will go nowhere with only 156 IVs ........
you need at least 5000 IVs for a 64 wep key / 20000 IVs for a 128 one
this values are ok if you use latest aircrack version wich uses PTW attack by default
Watch your back, your packetz will belong to me soon... xD
BackTrack : Giving Machine Guns to Monkeys since 2006
oups my bad ! sorry ...
first i never used the 64 or 128 switch,
secondly don't touch the fudge factor (2 is default)
wich version of aircrack-ng are you using ?
because if it's native bt2(0.7) , you will need to upgrade it ......
if you use latest stable (0.9.x), take care to use -z switch
if you use 1.X beta then your key should be cracked within 50000 IVS max
from what i can guess you are trying to do the old attack .... and this one need 1 000 000 keys before be able to crack it
in stable version -z use PTW attack, wich reduce the number of IVS needed to crack (max 50000 usually)
in beta 1.x version , ptw is done auto without the use of -z
please could you check your version of aircrack-ng
i bet you need either to update or to modify your cracking line with the -z switch .
Watch your back, your packetz will belong to me soon... xD

Related stories: 'Sexting' allegations made against five students | 'Sexting" can lead to serious legal impact for juveniles
Opinion: Send kids the message that 'sexting' is a crime
RANCHO CUCAMONGA -- Sheriff's deputies arrested a 16-year-old boy and cited a 14-year-old girl on Friday morning following a two week investigation into a sexting scandal at Etiwanda High School.
After questioning numerous people, including four victims, detectives arrested the boy and booked him into the San Bernardino County juvenile hall.
"We have already addressed this unfortunate incident with our students," said Mat Holton, the superintendent of Chaffey Joint Union High School District.
"And we're going to continue to be proactive in our responsibilities to our students education beyond the curriculum. "
During the investigation, detectives served search warrants to Twitter, a real-time information network, as well as conducting and completing a data analysis on both suspects' cell phones and computers.
The boy was booked on suspicion of distribution of child pornography, sheriff's spokeswoman Cindy Bachman said.
"Communicating through social media is what high school aged kids do," Holton said in a previous interview. "In a high school district of over 25,000 teens, it's incumbent on us to educate them on the etiquette but more importantly the danger of sending pictures and other materials. "
A school security officer at Etiwanda High looked into the matter and reported the sexting incidents to the Sheriff's Department. The officer learned the boy allegedly had four semi-nude photos of female students on his cellphone and sent them to others via text message.
The students being investigated - the boy who initially sent the photos and four girls - attend either Rancho Cucamonga or Etiwanda high schools.
"This has certainly caused students to be very aware of the long-term effects that social media can have on their future," Holton said.
Students at Etiwanda High School expressed disappointment, outrage, shock, but also the need to move on after the incident.
Linda Arias, the mother of a sophomore student, was waiting to pick up her daughter in front of the school on Friday. Her daughter sat in front of the male suspect in Algebra 2, she said.
"It's very upsetting because they have access to so much now technology-wise," Arias said. "In the past, a naughty picture would have just been local, but now, it's global, on the Internet, and they don't realize how much damage it can do."
Celia Dixon, a freshman at Etiwanda High School, said, "What he did was really wrong, and he deserves to be arrested."
Deallan Guy, a freshmen at Etiwanda added, "That was kind of foul."
"That was out of line," Guy said. "I just don't think it was right. He posted their names. The pictures were enough, but the names was really too far out there ... It basically got out to the whole world. It was on Twitter."
Students said the male suspect, a sophomore at Etiwanda High School, took down his social media posts and would likely be expelled.
"The student doesn't represent the school," said Jonathan Diaz. "It's just one student, and he doesn't represent our entire school."
Camila Cabrera added, "Everybody's moved on -- everyone's focused on themselves, trying to graduate."
This is not the first sex scandal this year at Etiwanda High.
In November, the school's principal, Brian Joseph, resigned prior to being arrested at his Corona home for an alleged sexual affair that he was having with a former student.
The student was a minor and attending Etiwanda High when the affair began.
The investigation will continue due to the potential for identifying additional suspects and victims, sheriff's officials said.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Detective Dave Clifford at 909-477-2800.

Phoenix City Panel Recommends Phase-out of Pension Spiking
(KFYI News) – A special subcommittee of the Phoenix City Council is recommending changes aimed at making it more difficult for city employees to "spike" their pensions. The practice happens when workers "cash in" the monetary value of unused sick and vacation time as part of their salary in the year before retirement, thus increasing pension payments, which are based on the final three years' salary.
Mayor Greg Stanton appointed the subcommittee over the summer. It was chaired by vice mayor Bill Gates, and included citizen members.
After meeting for five weeks, the panel unanimously recommended disallowing city workers from including the unused vacation and sick-time payout in pension calculations from this point forward. However, the change would not be retroactive.
"Anything that's already been earned or accrued by a city employee, we don't want to take away," Stanton told KFYI News. "I believe that the recommendation balances the interests of protecting the taxpayers of the city of Phoenix, being fair to the employees of the city, and taking into account legal issues" such as existing employee union contracts, some of which specifically discuss the conversion of accrued vacation and sick time into pension payouts.
At subcommittee meetings over the last several weeks, members heard from people on both sides of the issue. Some told the committee that they chose employment with the city – at a lower salary than they might have gotten in the private sector – specifically because of the ability to convert unused sick and vacation time into higher pension payments after they retire.
Some people predicted the city will incur more overtime costs in the future as employees begin to use more of their sick leave and vacation time if it won't count toward their pension payments.
The issue comes up for a vote before the full city council on Oct. 22, at which time council members may approve the subcommittee's recommendation, reject it, or revise it.

iPad for the win.
Nice hunch back of Notre Dame Picture
Right now its not a question of who will ultimately win the tablet market, but who will take second, third, and so on. Apple has amassed a massive lead a la the iPod and become the de facto comparison when new products are introduced to the market. Until someone can supplant Apple's iPad as a cultural icon, then this conversation will always pit Apple at number one, and the rest battling it out for the remaining market share.
These are two very much different devices. They also gear toward different markets. It will be hard comparing them. One is an optimized tablet running a customized OS (ipad), the other is a designed for a laptop replacement (Windows 8 tablet). I have both the Samsung Slate 3g and Ipad 2 3g. UI of the Ipad is smoother but I found myself using the Slate everyday while once or twice a week for the ipad/Notebook. I paid close to 900 for the iPad 64GB and roughly 1050 for the i5 128gb slate.
I wonder if they will do something creative with Ballmers Frankenstein silhouette when he dies like they did with Steve Jobs.
I think this article is quick to dismiss the abilities of Intels newer processors. Intel has been demonstrating their medfield processors that are supposed to be shipping in new android devices and performance has been pretty good. Battery life will be something we will need to keep an eye on. However building a battery in the case of the device does wonders for the iPad. If tablet manufacturers start building sleek small devices that ultimately marry to a case battery style device you will get the performance and portability for a successful product. Problem is that apple has perfected the process and because of that other companies have to spend more money to accomplish the same goal. This cost is passed onto the consumer which makes their product not as appealing as a iPad or MacBook air for example.
Also Microsoft isn't helping any when they radically introduce new concepts that deviate far from the general progression that windows 3.1->Windows 7 built upon. When you start doing things like this you force consumers to make a different choice. No longer is it a go with what I'm comfortable with or "try something new". It's "try something new with a company that is losing market share or a company who's been struggling to stay innovative" or "try something new with a company who's been innovating quite a bit lately and has been gaining market share". Your safer bet is with apple. Microsoft is forcing the hands of consumers and you're gonna lose both young consumers looking for something new and exciting as well as the veterans who are forced to learn something new.
Jailbreak for iPad 2? It's been almost a year and no jailbreak, except a pdf exploit that very few got to use.The iPad is slim and with jailbreaking, can be versatile keeping its long battery life of up to one month shelved.
Who actually leaves their tablet on the shelf for a month? Apple's stated battery usage isn't real world usage that's for sure.
But Remember
thats why and iPad you have to SYNC it with your laptop to do you Keynote of etc....then sync Back to the iPad to go to your presentation...of whatever.... its a quicker way better way for transporting your info/data/presentation etc..etc.....
An accurate article, I'd say. well done.
Just had this discussion in the other thread with these fanbois babbling about how the iFad is a total Laptop replacement
Apple, iPhone and iPad News | ModMyi - iPad Owners Relying Less on Laptops in Enterprise Sector
I swear the only people that say that crap are the ones who only use their iFad to play games, surf the web, and listen to music! I mean lets be honest, aside from that crap you really can't do a whole lot more on the iFad when compared to a Laptop! How about the lack of STORAGE EXPANSION with an iFad compared to a laptop. Oh and how bout comparing that wussy A5 processor that iFad carries to some of Intel's dual core processors? Yeah no comparison there. Oh and how much RAM does that iFad have? Oh yeah a whopping 512mb!! WHOA that's wayyyy more than the 4GB most ultrabooks offer. But then of course the cost of the iFad is where it really shines over a netbook/ultrabook/laptop right? Yeah because for the $830 you pay for the highest iFad that Crapple offers you could have gotten a full blown Toshiba Portege Ultrabook, 13.3" display, 4GB RAM, 1.4GHz processor, 128mb SSD hard drive, 8 HOURS BATTERY LIFE (since you wanna act like only the iFad can pull that off), oh and lest we forget TWO USB 2.0 ports and ONE USB 3.0 port!! Not to mention most importantly it runs a FULL BLOWN OS so you can do practically ANYTHING compared to an iFad. Oh and it's $30 bucks LESS THAN THE iFAD!! The model is Z835-P330 just in case you wanna call my bluff!
Apple, iPhone and iPad News | ModMyi - iPad Owners Relying Less on Laptops in Enterprise Sector
All of these comments are powerful and meaningful... there is just a few small things that many find hard to understand and its as follows:
Perception is reality. If you read modmyi then you probably understand more about tech than many of the people who buy these. these people don't want everything you do in a portable device. Many of them use it because they can press a button that does something they want. That feature alone better or worse then another device on market is simply put enough for these people and they draw a line because they are satisfied... These people see that as the "best".
Now ask yourself something, Do these people need a laptop? many of them are first timers, by the time they graduate to something more appropriate for what they need or even develop that need, will any of this even matter with whats on the market at that time? You might think yes, but they are proving you wrong at lightning speed if you answered so.
- I like my iPad, I'm a Linux/Unix/Mac/Win Lover. I build computers, and i design. In the end my iPad (1st gen) is more than enough to throw in a bag and get my work done. it can take longer and at times more stressful than a laptop but it works. It does not do many of the things I can do at home but i work a lot and this suits me better when i am gone... but then again thats just perception at work.
Totally agree, just as my friend told me "I love my iPad. It has almost completely replaced my personal computer. For the things I do... It is perfect! Much nicer than any CPU I have ever owned. All my other computers would do a lot of things I would never use it for, and do it painfully in the process (slow, buggy, etc.). When you get down to what you do most on you personal computer... the iPad does almost all of the things an average user needs, and with a much much nicer U/I. Easy of use, fast, and efficient. The other computer manufacturers could learn a thing or two from this, but even if they do... they will probably screw-up the one they come out with by adding all the crap back in again. Ugggggg!!!!"
Which Im agreed to, I should say if you use your PC as a "consumer" rather than a programmer, then the iPad pretty much does everything you'd want.


text: 3:30 p.m. 45A04-1208-PC-420. Manchester University. Appellant Joseph Scott appeals from the denial of his petition for post-conviction relief. After pleading guilty to Class B felony operating a vehicle with a BAC of 0.15 or greater causing death and Class B felony resisting law enforcement causing death, Scott received two fifteen-year sentences, which were to be served consecutively. Scott argues that the consecutive nature of the sentences represents fundamental error and that his trial counsel was ineffective for failing to advise him that his consecutive sentences were illegal and for failing to perfect a direct appeal. The State argues that Scott may not bring a freestanding claim of fundamental error in a post-conviction proceeding and that he received effective assistance of trial counsel.

An ocean giant's hidden hunt revealed by new footage.
I'm Lucie McNeil and this is National Geographic On Assignment-your link to thousands of Nat Geo Explorers around the globe.
Today we dive into the cold waters of the North Atlantic, where members of Nat Geo's Crittercam team deployed special cameras on the backs of humpback whales to record their hunt.
When they're hungry, these whales are known to create walls of bubbles to surround their prey. The trapped fish swim to the surface where they're consumed en masse by the humpbacks.
But Crittercam cameras offered a unique glimpse of another hunting technique-the whales scouring the ocean to flush out prey—a behavior rarely captured on any camera...giving scientists a whale's eye view of this extraordinary behavior.
That's National Geographic On Assignment—your link to our Explorers.

Aortic arch syndromeSubclavian artery occlusive syndrome; Carotid artery occlusion syndrome; Subclavian steal syndrome; Vertebral-basilar artery occlusive syndrome
Aortic arch syndrome refers to a group of signs and symptoms associated with structural problems in the arteries that branch off the aortic arch. The aortic arch is the top part of the main artery carrying blood away from the heart.
Aortic arch syndrome problems are most often associated with trauma, blood clots, or malformations that develop before birth. The arteries' defects result in abnormal blood flow to the head, neck, or arms.
In children, there are multiple types of aortic arch syndromes, including:
- Congenital absence of a branch of the aorta
- Isolation of the subclavian arteries
- Vascular rings
Symptoms vary according to the affected artery, but may include:
- Neurological changes such as:
- Dizziness
- Blurred vision
- Weakness
- Blood pressure changes
- Breathing problems
- Numbness of an arm
- Reduced pulse
- Transient ischemic attacks
Surgery is usually required to treat the underlying cause of aortic arch syndrome.

Hello everybody,
I've been using BT4 for a while with a TL-WN321G wireless adapter.
I'm now dealing with an Atheros AR9271- based TL-WN422G v2 USB device, which was not supported at the time of BT4 final release.
I already tried to compile and install the newly available driver (which is said to support monitor mode) and even to clone the wireless development tree with git, but my knowledge about these deep matters is not strong enough.
My main trouble is that I find generic instructions / packages that almost always have mismatches with the BT4 environment.
Could please someone provide at least any clue about what I'm supposed to do? Perhaps there is the right package in the backtrack repository but I'm really unable to find it.
Thanks a lot in advance and Best Regards.

"Goddard's Law" passes the Ohio House
(Cleveland) A law that will stiffen the penalties for abusing companion animals in Ohio is moving forward after it passed the State House of Representatives on Wednesday. House Bill 274 is named "Goddard's Law" after long-time Cleveland Meteorologist Dick Goddard who says the measure passed overwhelmingly in the House by an 89-8 margin.
Goddard says the Senate could vote on the law by as early as next month. The main sponsor of the legislation is Rep. Bill Patmon of Cleveland. An amendmant was added that would remove "accidental negligence" from the felony category. That change would exclude someone from a felony charge if they accidentally allow a companion animal to die while in their care.
One hold-out to getting this legislation and similar legislation on animal abuse penalties passed are rural farmers. Goddard says "I understand 7 times this legislation has been brought forward, and the farm element says "we can't treat our farm animals as you would a dog or a cat that lives with you.""
If passed the bill would automatically make it a felony if a companion animal dies in your care. Right now Ohio ranks 46th out of 50 states when it comes to penalties for animal abuse.
Goddard also reminds pet owners on these cold days to bring outside pets indoors and give them plenty of food and water.

Elias Acevedo appears in court
(Cleveland) - There was a pretrial hearing for accused kidnapper and convicted sex offender Elias Acevedo this afternoon. He appeared before Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Judge Michael Donnelly.
Judge Donnelly declined to set a trial date, but may make that determination during the next pretrial hearing in two weeks. The prosecution team said it is ready to go, but the defense contends more time is needed to prepare.
The 49-year-old Acevedo is charged with the 1995 murder of Christina Adkins, and the 1994 killing of neighbor Pamela Pemberton.
Acevedo faces 293 counts, including rape, kidnapping and aggravated murder. He has pleaded not guilty, and remains in custody on $5 million bond.

George Allen's Last Day
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
"George Allen... used to display a Confederate flag in his living room and, bizarrely enough, a noose in his office for sentimental reasons..."
Over the intercom:
SECRETARY: Senator Allen? The boys from the Mason-Dixon Moving Company are here.
SENATOR ALLEN: (Sigh) Okay, Sally, y'all send them right in.
The movers enter.
MOVER: Howdy, Senator. Everything but the furniture, right? No problem. Let's get started, boys…
SENATOR ALLEN: Whoa, hold on! Don't start just grabbing stuff off the walls willy-nilly! This office is full of mementos and keepsakes. This here paraphernalia is sentimental to me.
MOVER: Oh... You mean like this Confederate flag?
SENATOR ALLEN: Precisely. That Confederate flag is part of my heritage. I am proud of being from the South.
MOVER: I heard you were from California.
SENATOR ALLEN: Right. Southern California. Here's my high school senior photo. Do you see the Confederate flag pin on my lapel?
MOVER: Yessir.
SENATOR ALLEN: My four years at the liberal Palos Verdes High School were a struggle for my independence and sovereign rights, just like the South struggling against the North in the Civil War.
MOVER: And that's something you don't ever want to forget?
SENATOR ALLEN: Exactly, except, without Northerners around I just had to beat up the freshmen.
MOVER: Makes sense to me. What's this shard of broken glass?
SENATOR ALLEN: Oh, boy. That's from when I was a teenager and threw my brother through a plate-glass window. I get misty just thinking about it.
MOVER: This postcard from Niagara Falls?
SENATOR ALLEN: That's from a family vacation when I was a boy. I held my younger sister by the feet over the falls.
MOVER: That's gotta take you back.
SENATOR ALLEN: Sure does.
MOVER: This X-ray?
SENATOR ALLEN: That's from when I tackled my brother and broke his collar bone.
MOVER: Uh-huh. What about this broken cue stick?
SENATOR ALLEN: That's from when I got in a fight with my sister's fiancé.
MOVER: And that makes you sentimental?
SENATOR ALLEN: When I think back on the amount of force it takes to break a cue stick on a human skull, I tell you, it brings a tear to my eye.
MOVER: Now, hold on, why would you want to keep this old severed deer's head?
SENATOR ALLEN: That? Well, heh-heh, I'll tell you, when I was in college I was quite the prankster. One time, I put a deer's head in the mailbox of a local black family after a hunting trip. Isn't that a hoot? Now I keep that head to remind me to keep things light, you know? Not take it all so seriously.
MOVER: But wait, what about this giant WWII German propaganda poster that reads: "Beware the Jew Rat"?
SENATOR ALLEN: That's a little different. I recently came to understand that my heritage is not only white people, but also Jewish people. When I looked into it a little bit more, I discovered that not only does being a Jew have a long heritage, but that hating Jews has a long heritage, too.
MOVER: Heck, that's in the bible!
SENATOR ALLEN: Amen, brother!
MOVER: What's this video cassette?
SENATOR ALLEN: That's me calling an Indian boy "macaca."
MOVER: You're keeping this? But, I thought it was embarrassing to you.
SENATOR ALLEN: Now, you listen to me! My momma is French-Tunisian and all her whole life she called dark-skinned people "macaca." My momma's momma called dark-skinned people "macaca," and my momma's momma's momma called dark-skinned people "macaca."
MOVER: Oh, I see. It's your heritage.
SENATOR ALLEN: Damn straight. I cried the night I called that boy "macaca," I was so proud...
MOVER: Well, Senator Allen, this is quite a collection of memorabilia. I promise that we will take extra care in moving these treasures for you.
SENATOR ALLEN: I do appreciate that.
MOVER: Just one more question. What's the noose for?
SENATOR ALLEN: Oh, that silly old thing? That's just for hanging niggers.

MLS Commissioner Don Garber announced the 2012 Best XI during his annual State of the League teleconference call. The Best XI recognizes the League's top 11 players at each position on the field.

Goalkeeper – Jimmy Nielsen (Sporting Kansas City)
Defender – Victor Bernardez (San Jose Earthquakes)
Defender – Matt Besler (Sporting Kansas City)
Defender – Aurelien Collin (Sporting Kansas City)
Midfielder – Osvaldo Alonso (Seattle Sounders FC)
Midfielder – Landon Donovan (LA Galaxy)
Midfielder – Chris Pontius (D.C. United)
Midfielder – Graham Zusi (Sporting Kansas City)
Forward – Thierry Henry (New York Red Bulls)
Forward – Robbie Keane (LA Galaxy)
Forward – Chris Wondolowski (San Jose Earthquakes)
Three players have previously been named to the MLS Best XI: Donovan, Henry and Wondolowski. Eight players are first-time Best XI: Alonso, Bernardez, Besler, Collin, Keane, Nielsen, Pontius and Zusi.
Donovan has been named to his fifth consecutive Best XI selection and sixth overall, tying Dwayne De Rosario for the most of any player in MLS history.

Jane - from Pinon Hills, CA
Self-rising flour is flour that has leavening and salt added to it. If the cookie recipe you are making includes leavening (baking powder or baking soda), and not all cookie recipes do, you can try using the self-rising flour – just eliminate the leavening and the salt called for in your recipe. You may find that your cookies rise too high or that they rise and then fall flat.
Some self-rising flour has lower protein content, so you might also find that the cookies are paler in color, softer, puffier and more crumbly. Depending on your tastes, you may or may not prefer the result.

Over the past decade, disruption in media has become the norm. Curmudgeons are hauled to seminars to learn about online gadgetry. The mantra rings like a line from "The Graduate:" I want to say just one word to you. Just one word. Digital.
Herald scribes, as they always have, show up every day, try to find out what's going on and then spread the word. Whatever the medium, whether print, mobile or brain implant, people hunger for substance and quality. Ownership is something that happens on a higher floor.
For more than a century, The Herald has provided in-depth reporting and community coverage. The first draft of regional and state history is written by Herald veterans such as Sharon Salyer, Julie Muhlstein, Scott North, Eric Stevick and Bill Sheets. Institutional memory and judgment can't be replaced.
On Wednesday The Washington Post Company announced that it was selling The Herald and its other print and online products to Black Press Ltd, and its subsidiary, Sound Publishing.
Freeze-frame an image of the late Katharine Graham, the magisterial publisher of the Washington Post. Graham would occasionally trek to Everett and confer with publishers Chris Little and Larry Hanson. Her son, Don, would arrive unannounced and roam the newsroom, asking questions, palling with reporters. It felt like no ordinary time, preserved in amber. The Herald was the only other daily owned by The Washington Post, and employees took pride in that. We work for the same company as the Watergate-busting Woodward and Bernstein, mind you.
Legacies are complex. The Herald was originally owned by the Best family. Quality local journalism was hard wired. The Washington Post made a savvy investment in 1978, but times change and disruption happens.
A sale always generates anxiety and sadness. Day one spurs denial, a just-dumped nausea, and then let loose Elizabeth Kubler-Ross' five stages of grief. But news folks are resilient. Black is buying a hell of a great paper. There is no better source of Snohomish County news anywhere, and surfing the Internet for wire stories or blogs is no substitute.
We hope that Black builds on the strengths of a great institution. Smart journalism is a public service, and we stand on the shoulders of generations of reporters, sales persons, copy editors and press operators. As former Herald Publisher Larry Hanson said, "Let's give the new owners a chance to show their commitment to community journalism."
Disruption is the norm. Sometimes it stings, but we pick up, recharge and do our best in the public interest.

Bank to Launch Jet Venture
Wells Fargo Unveiled Plans to Start Its Own Aircraft-Leasing Company
Wells Fargo & Co. unveiled plans Thursday to start its own aircraft-leasing company, the latest attempt by a big U.S. bank to find new revenue sources in response to profit-squeezing low interest rates, slow economic growth and new regulations.
U.S. banks have long been active lenders to airlines, but Wells Fargo, based in San Francisco, is one of a handful to take a stake in the $100 billion annual market for financing commercial jets. The move comes a year after the No. 4 U.S. bank by assets bid for the...

Jeep Grand Cherokee Models and Grand Cherokee History
The 1998 Grand Cherokee by Jeep boasted a hearty 5.9-liter V8 engine that delivered 245 horsepower, making it the ruler of allJeeps. The Orvis model was phased out and several new colors were added as were new airbag systems. The redesigned 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee featured only 127 parts that carried over.
It got a new powertrain, transmission, suspension, braking and steering system, new 4WD and a redesigned interior and exterior. The 2000 Grand Cherokee received some minor touch-ups and a new two-wheel drive wasintroduced with a 4.7-liter V8 engine. The 2001 Grand Cherokee debuted a five-speed automatic transmission with two overdrive modes. Front tow hooks in chrome were added with the Limited Model, and several new packages were added that offered body enhancements, different wheels and various interior options and upgrades.
The 2001 Grand Cherokee featured three new trim levels, SE, Sportand Overland. Added options also included side curtain airbags, tire-pressure monitoring system and automated windshield wipers. Minor changes were made for the 2002 version. In 2003, Jeep improved the handling, adding reduced-pressure shocks, and discontinued the Sport and Special Edition trim levels.
In 2004, the Grand Cherokee came standard with a DVD player and GPS system. The 2005 Grand Cherokee was entirely redesigned with a new four-wheel-drive system, independent suspension and three different engines to choose from, as well as a new body and interior style. In 2006, Jeep added the Overland Trim with a larger 5.7-liter V8 engine. Jeep also added the Quadra-Trac II for the Laredo trim. Jeep only made a few alterations for 2007, adding a diesel engine for buyers and making improvements to safety equipment. In 2008, Jeep redesigned its 4.7-liter V8, making it more powerful and capable of delivering 305 horsepower. They also added some new interior features, offering HID headlights, a rear entertainment center and technology upgrades like start assist and hill descent. A diesel V6 engine was made available for the popular Laredo model.
The 2009 model added Quadra-Trac II technology and boasted better gas mileage. It was outfitted with an iPod integrated GPS system and a new trip computer. In 2010, Jeep discontinued the Overland trim level and made a few minor adjustments to upgradeable options. The 2011 Grand Cherokee was relatively unchanged. In 2012, Jeep added a few new trim levels and marked the return of the luxurious Overland Summittrim. In 2013, Jeep added the Trailhawk trim and offered a few new features for the Overland Summit trim. In 2014, the Grand Cherokee offered a new 3.0-liter V6 diesel engine with an eight-speed automatic. Jeep also made minor changes to the interior and added some newer technological features, too.

I like many other people have donated for his jail breaking but to just pay for his app just because you think that is supporting him? Yea sure!
Sorry but you're logic makes no sense!
I dj and will say that I would rather donate to his paypal.
If I was a hacker, I'd probably come out w/ a jailbreak before I released an app I was working on. Thats just me though.
Just sayin, there are people that donate to these guys who are waiting for a jailbreak more than there are people waiting for another dj app.
I mean whats the pay out after a few people paying a store that is selling your product for $5.99 VS several people sending you $10 VIA paypal? I mean I understand, it may not happen all the time w/ the donations, but I'm sure after Apple's cut, the pay out is less than paypal's "fee".
Anyways, back to patiently waiting for a new jailbreak. Or a Samsung Galaxy S IV. LOL
Bummer! Can't buy the app. My iPad 3 is jailbroken on 5.1.1.
Personally, I don't have a problem paying $$ to be able to jailbreak if it came down to it. With what I have running on my 4S, I would definitely shell out $20-$40 whenever a new jailbreak came out....

New phone today... sick to death of my shitty w910i lol... gotta decide between these three.. So far it's looking like the Renoir, best camera around, dobly mobile, good WiFi and excellent browser.
But I'm tempted by the HD touch.. because.. well it's HD - shit camera I guess and dodgy Windows Mobile 6 OS lol - Probably best looking phone too.
Then there's the iPhone 3g.. best touchscreen OS around, mint games, app store etc... awful camera, great internet (but no flash support), shite bluetooth, no MMS...
Renoir would come in handy with the great camera facilities for being at shows/events/tournies etc, so I'm tempted by that.
DAMN!! anyone have any opinions lol? Or got any of them?

I was just wondering who does everybody rate as the best Brazilian Jiu Jitsu coaches in the UK both in terms of pure Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and BJJ for MMA?
I was just wondering who does everybody rate as the best Brazilian Jiu Jitsu coaches in the UK both in terms of pure Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and BJJ for MMA?
As a pure BJJ coach I guess you have to look at students results, not personal results...
At the last Mundials, Luke Costello and Chris Bowe took gold & silver at brown belt. Both are students of Braulio. Luke is the most successful adult competitor out of the UK (I think). Chris Bowe has had plenty of other medals at brown belt in high level comps. Same goes for Stephen Martin (another Braulio student).
I'm not that into keeping up on comp results mind, so there will be plenty of successes I don't know about. But I think it would be hard to beat those of Braulio's students.
http://www.ChrisReesAcademy.com - http://thetattooedchimp.blogspot.co.uk/
how often do they ctually train with braulio?
man, when you're the nail, hang in there....until the day you become the hammer
Fairly regularly afaik.
http://www.ChrisReesAcademy.com - http://thetattooedchimp.blogspot.co.uk/
And what about the UK guys?
Ive heard that karl tanswell is one of the best MMA coaches there is and im sure he can use his blackbelt level BJJ and teach it appropriately for MMA. in scotland there is Paul mcveigh an mma world champion and a blackbelt in BJJ with a great team and Garry Christie whom im hoping to get down to my team for a seminar soon he is supposedly a phenomenal BJJ coach purely for BJJ but also for MMA.
I have attended a seminar with paul and learned a lot it was great. i think these guys are good not so mu7ch because they are so good themselves nut because they know how to put it across they are good teachers and this is the most important aspect of a coach. ive trained with blackbelts who i do not regard as great teachers absolutely phenomenal competitors but not as adept at getting you to understand how to do things.

Kuriyan Summers-Dickinson, 18
Otis Washington, 20
Tomas Delaveau, 21
A Stabbing and Unlawful Assembly Occur on Del Playa in Isla Vista
Isla Vista - March 9th, 2014
A Lompoc resident is charged with attempted murder following a stabbing last night, March 8, at a residence in the 6600 block of Del Playa Drive. A fight broke out at the residence and 18-year-old Kuriyan Summers-Dickinson stabbed a 20-year-old victim in the stomach. The victim is from Rhode Island and was visiting his brother in Isla Vista for the weekend. He was transported to a local hospital in critical condition and is now in stable condition. The suspect attempted to flee the scene but was arrested shortly after by Sheriff's Deputies with the Isla Vista Foot Patrol. He is charged with attempted murder.
While Sheriff's Deputies were attending to the stabbing incident, a large crowd gathered in the 6600 block of Del Playa Drive. Shortly after midnight, Sheriff's Deputies arrested a suspect who was jumping on top of vehicles that were driving down Del Playa Drive and yelling which not only caused property damage to the vehicles but also incited the crowd. After a short foot pursuit, 20-year-old Otis Dezjuan Washington of Isla Vista, was arrested by Sheriff's Deputies. He is charged with vehicle tampering and resisting arrest.
While in the process of making the arrest, a large crowd of several hundred people gathered around the deputies and began chanting and throwing bottles. Additional Sheriff's Deputies from the Santa Barbara and Carpinteria stations, along with UCSB Police Officers and California Highway Patrol Officers responded to help. Several residents assisted the deputies by helping hold back the hostile crowd until more help could arrive.
At this point, the crowd was estimated to be more than one thousand people and was deemed an unlawful assembly. Law enforcement worked together to push back the crowd and close down the street. The crowd was ordered to disperse several times. Pepper spray and batons were used to push back individuals who refused to disperse. Another UCSB student, 21-year-old Tomas Delaveau, spat on an officer and was arrested for battery on a peace officer.
It took about an hour to disperse the crowd and restore order to the Isla Vista area. The Santa Barbara County Sheriff's Office wants to remind Isla Vista residents that they are all a part of the effort to keep the community a safe place.

Ford's C-Max Hybrid, Fusion Hybrid to Get EPA Review Following Fuel Economy Complaints
Tiffany Kaiser
December 10, 2012 12:15 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
Consumer Reports Said Ford's 47 mpg claim is too high for both vehicles
There are questions regarding
Ford's C-Max Hybrid
and Fusion Hybrid's advertised 47 mpg, and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) intends to check it out.
Ford's C-Max Hybrid and Fusion Hybrid both show an estimated 47 mpg, but
Consumer Reports
recently pointed out that neither are living up to the automaker's claims. According to its testing, the C-Max Hybrid received 35/38/37 mpg for city/highway/combined. For the Fusion Hybrid, it found 35/41/39 mpg for city/highway/combined.
"Yes, the disclaimer on EPA fuel-economy labels notes that your results may differ," said
Consumer Reports
. "But the overall mpg for these C-Max and Fusion models is off by a whopping 10 and 8 mpg, respectively, or about 20 percent. Our overall-mpg results are usually pretty close to the EPA's combined-mpg estimate. Among current models, more than 80 percent of the vehicles we've tested are within 2 mpg."
2013 Ford Fusion Hybrid
Ford responded to the claims, saying that mileage varies among hybrids.
"Early C-Max Hybrid and Fusion Hybrid customers praise the vehicles and report a range of fuel economy figures, including some reports above 47 mpg," said Ford spokesman Wes Sherwood. "This reinforces the fact that driving styles, driving conditions and other factors can cause mileage to vary."
While all vehicles must undergo the EPA test for fuel efficiency, the test isn't actually administered by the government agency. Instead, automakers perform the test and the EPA reviews it. In many cases, factors like temperature and speed result in gas mileage being lower than the EPA sticker.
2013 Ford C-Max Hybrid
Ford's testing found 47 mpg overall for both vehicles, and while it's common for the EPA to review such claims and discover a variation in gas mileage,
Consumer Reports
complained that this is a pretty big gap between Ford's findings and its own.
The EPA said it will "look at the report and data."
Back in December 2011,
Consumer Watchdog
called on the EPA to investigate Hyundai over its fuel economy claims. Hyundai claimed that its Elantra achieved 29 MPG in the city and 40 MPG on highway. However, the organization received a higher-than-usual number of complaints that real-world mileage was in the mid-20 mpg range.
From there, the EPA investigated Hyundai for misleading mileage claims and found that the fuel economy estimates of most of its 2012-2013 models were inflated. The same goes for Kia. Both Kia and Hyundai will be lowering the fuel economy estimates on the majority of their 2012 to 2013 models after EPA testing discovered a gap between its data and what both of the companies are claiming.
Hyundai and Kia admitted to overstating the estimated fuel economy on window stickers of about 900,000 vehicles sold since late 2010. Reports show that Hyundai alone
could spend $100 million
trying to fix the fiasco.
The Detroit News
"Well, we didn't have anyone in line that got shot waiting for our system." -- Nintendo of America Vice President Perrin Kaplan

LOOK: Khloe Kardashian Sparks Controversy With Native American Headdress
Khloé Kardashian is raising eyebrows with a picture of herself wearing a traditional Native American headdress at the first birthday party of her niece, North West.
Khloé posted the photo on Instagram along with a caption reading "Ray of clouds. Chirping of birds. Gurgling of water. Granting Desire. One with water." Once the photo hit social media, many fans voiced their disapproval, calling it disrespectful and offensive to Native American culture.
Kim Kardashian and Kanye West celebrated North's first birthday over the weekend with a party dubbed "Kidchella." North turned one-year-old on June 15th.

A local Jewish organization has joined a coalition of national groups in filing briefs in two cases scheduled to go before the Supreme Court this month.
A local Jewish organization has joined a coalition of national groups in filing briefs in support of marriage equality in two cases that are scheduled to go before the Supreme Court at the end of March.
The first case, Hollingsworth v. Perry, challenges the constitutionality of Proposition 8, a California ballot measure that states that marriage can only be between a man and a woman.
The other case, United States v. Windsor, concerns the denial of federal benefits through the Defense of Marriage Act to gay and lesbian couples in states that allow them to marry.
Lynn Zeitlin, an attorney and the immediate past president of the local Jewish Social Policy Action Network, spoke about the importance of the two cases and why the nonprofit organization decided to join the briefs, which were spearheaded by the Anti-Defamation League. Her responses have been edited for brevity and clarity.
For those not familiar with Supreme Court proceedings, could you explain the significance of joining an amicus curiae brief in the two cases on same-sex marriage?
The purpose of the amicus briefs is to bring additional points of view to a case that the parties wouldn't have themselves. The brief that we joined with the ADL is going to bring the Jewish social policy perspective on marriage equality.
Why did JSPAN choose to join these briefs?
JSPAN's mission is to protect and defend the civil and constitutional rights of Jews, people that are discriminated against and people that are weak in our society. To the extent that any of these laws can impact Jews or a class that has been discriminated against historically, it is the best interest of all Jews to come to the aid and defense of the groups.
What do you predict will be the impact of the Supreme Court hearing the case challenging the Defense of Marriage Act?
It's hard to predict what the court will do because you just can't push the court until it's ready to do what you want it to do. It really probably depends on Justice Anthony Kennedy. Most people think he will be the swing vote 5-4, either way. Based on his prior decisions, we're hopeful that he will see that this law unfairly discriminates against LGBT people and that it's unconstitutional. The idea of taking one part of a particular religion's view of what constitutes marriage to the exclusion of many other religious organizations, including Reform, Conservative and Reconstructionist Judaism that hold that marriage between a woman and woman is every bit as valid as marriage between a man and woman.
If you take a particular religion's view of what a marriage is, aren't you basically establishing a religious point of view to be enacted into law and doesn't that violate the Establishment Clause of the Constitution?
What about Proposition 8? Much of the speculation has centered on whether the Supreme Court will decide to allow same-sex marriage in California but not require it elsewhere — or whether it will take a broader stance and address the constitutionality of same-sex marriage in all states. What do you envision happening?
It's hard to say. We fear that what will happen is the court may limit the decision to California. That would be the more conservative ruling that the court could make in terms of California, but what does that mean for the other states?
There's always an issue whether the Supreme Court should be forcing social justice on an unwilling society. Here I don't think they would be at all ahead of the curve and I think they probably know that. I'm sure that they are reading the same things about the changes in public opinion on marriage equality. The country is moving toward fairness and equal treatment of all people, and it will happen one way or another, and hopefully sooner rather than later.

Food for thought for those still underwater
There is a silver lining to the foreclosure crisis for those that chose not to go underwater—namely, more people who actually were in foreclosure are now buying again.
How many are actually able to purchase
Unfortunately, the government and housing market does not keep track of the specific real estate numbers. Nevertheless, because of the foreclosure crisis many who never thought that they would get a second chance at the American Dream of buying a home are now.
How are these homeowners doing it
Simply put: Chances of home ownership depend upon the silver lining. Reports indicated that for those who went bankrupt and added the foreclosure in their bankruptcy have to wait four years. Folks that sold via short sale need to wait two years. How one got rid of the distressed property and one's current financial status are relevant to the bank's review.
The great irony
The great irony is that those who were shunned by the banks are now bolstering demand for home purchase. The same lenders that were unwilling to work out loan modifications or waive deficiencies are now willing, given the circumstance, to lend again to those so shunned. The economy is and will continue to be aided by those who were formerly in foreclosure.
As we have said all along, we all should be able to realize the American Dream of home ownership. Perhaps now the banks are beginning to realize that each case should be reviewed on its merits before summarily making decisions that have wide ranging implications.
In a recent article, Paul Owers from the Sun Sentinel explains that, "depending on credit scores homeowners can get new mortgages without waiting seven, two or even one year before qualifying for another mortgage."
Furthermore; most importantly, for those who chose to hang onto their underwater property at all cost and let it drag them under may want to reconsider their strategy and take note of their fellow neighbors who threw in the towel a few years ago.
Real estate and foreclosure defense attorney, Roy Oppenheim left Wall Street for Main Street, founding Oppenheim Law along with his wife Ellen in 1989 in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. He also is vice president of Weston Title and creator of the South Florida Law Blog, named the best business and technology blog by the South Florida Sun-Sentinel.

Miu Miu Fall 2013
After her outstanding film noir–ish Prada show, Miuccia Prada was feeling in the mood "to become fun and frivolous," for the Miu Miu presentation. This season, she stayed true to her concept for the presentation—which is to endlessly iterate variations on the same strong look and line until by the end of the show, something that required a moment or two of adjustment at the show's opening (a shift in proportion, or color, or casting, and usually all three) looks entirely convincing by the finale run-by.
Prada this season sent out a parade of wan Olive Oyls with their hair twisted into twin plaited buns at the nape, a jaunty polka-dot scarf tied propeller-style at the neck, horizontally striped black-and-pastel stockings, and chunky Louis-heeled shoes that rattled on an industrial grid runway floating rather alarmingly above a void. Prada stayed true to the mid-century vibe that saturated her Milan show, but here in Paris, she tweaked it away from those couture references and into a comic-strip world so that the girls had the look of "Dolls" out of a Damon Runyon novel, and those perky dots and stripes in Pop colors looked like details from a Roy Lichtenstein canvas. That meant bold-lined coats and jackets, often with subtle dashes of luxury, like a Persian lamb sailor collar or a frosting of jeweled ribbon embroidery emphasizing the attenuated line and the skirt lengths hovering just above the ankle. Most interesting were the pieces that took the concept of nylon bomber jackets and reworked them to fit this mood, like an off-the-shoulder fluoro orange parka or a bustier or apron-skirt. It was a sprightly, playful, but nonetheless compellingly Prada-odd way to close a stellar season at the Paris collections.
