Granted, right now our store is so tiny that it's more like a cubby hole and it's only selling a pair of small-batch-produced stickers, but just squint your eyes and see a bright future of wide aisles, subscriber specials and an upcoming platform for select partnerships with some of the coolest shops. In the meantime, I need to get cracking on that future and you need some of the highest quality, thermal-printed vinyl stickers that money can buy. Get to shopping.

Suspicious robocalls warn of voter registration problems
SALEM, Ore. - State and county government offices have received dozens of complaints from voters about pre-recorded phone calls telling them their voter registrations may be out of date.
The calls are not coming from voter registration offices and local officials said most voter registration information is up to date.
Portland resident and military veteran Mark Balcom said he got one of the calls last Friday night.
"I immediately thought this is some kind of fraud," he said.
Balcom said he remembered the message on the phone as saying "one or more persons in this household will not be receiving a mail in ballot because your file has been marked inactive."
The message ended with a number to call to "fix" the problem but Balcom said was not able to write down the number at the time.
The Oregon Secretary of State's office said they don't know the motive behind the calls. The Oregon Attorney General's Office said they are looking into whether the calls are also going to phone numbers on the "do not call" list.
When a KATU News reporter called the phone number listed on Balcom's caller ID, we just got a busy signal.
Balcom notified his friends about the fraud but said he wanted to warn more people.
"I'm afraid there are people who will fall for it," he said.
Voters can check their current registration status online here. Potential voters have until October 16 to register to vote for the upcoming election.

Images shown may not be an exact representation of the actual product.You may contact us if you have questions about the exact specifications of this item.
AMMUNITION Since the ArchAngel T is a threaded muzzle mounted suppressor it will not slow the velocity of the bullet. When used on pistols we suggest the use of coated standard or high velocity target type .22 rimfire ammunition such as CCI, Remington, Federal, or other good quality Target loads. The uncoated ammo can slough off in the suppressor if used consistently. When used on a rifle even standard velocity ammunition may exceed the speed of sound. Subsonic rounds are not necessarily the answer. Be sure to use a good lead remover like that made by Shooter's Choice to remove the lead if subsonic ammo is used. This suppressor is designed only for .22 caliber rimfire ammuni- tion and must not be used with any other type of centerfire ammu- nition.
Impact Guns is the gun shop for all your shooting needs. We offer a wide selection of firearms, including: handguns, shotguns, rifles, ammunition, rifle scopes and optics, as well as collectible machine guns and other NFA/Class 3 guns. Impact also services the needs of law enforcement and military with our wide variety of tactical weapons and accessories.

County Executive Selected for National Award
Office of Public Affairs
12000 Government Center Parkway, Suite 551
Fairfax, VA 22035-0065
Feb. 21, 2003
County Executive Selected for National Award
Fairfax County Executive Anthony H. Griffin has been named the 2003 "Stone Practitioner Award" winner by the Section on Intergovernmental Administration and Management (SIAM) of the American Society for Public Administration (ASPA), which seeks to promote and encourage the study, understanding and improvement of the intergovernmental system, its infrastructure and related cooperative and coordinative efforts of all levels of government and the private sector.
The award will be presented at the SIAM annual membership meeting in Washington, D.C. on Monday, March 17, at 4:30 p.m. It is given based on significant continuous contributions to the field of intergovernmental management over a substantial period of time and contributions that have made an impact as a whole rather than on a specific organization, institution or function.
SIAM Chair Jim Svara says the awards committee was impressed with Griffin's "commitment to improve intergovernmental cooperation, which has been a constant theme and interest of his career."
The Northern Virginia chapter of ASPA nominated Griffin for the award and cited numerous examples of his leadership in improving intergovernmental cooperation. These included his roles in coordinating immediate and long term regional responses to the Sept. 11 terrorist attack on the Pentagon, the anthrax incidents in 2001 and the regional sniper attacks in October 2002.
Griffin also serves as chair of the Chief Administrative Officers Committee of the Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments and led an initiative with the Northern Virginia Regional Commission to develop an emergency preparedness guide for citizens of Northern Virginia. He has also chaired the staff committee which drafted and implemented the Chesapeake Bay Preservation Ordinance, chaired the finance committee of a regional effort to bring rail transportation to Dulles Airport and led a multi-year process leading to the transfer of the former Lorton Correctional Facility property to Fairfax County that involved working with numerous governmental agencies, including the U.S. General Accounting Office and the District of Columbia government.
Griffin has served as Fairfax County Executive since being appointed by the Board of Supervisors on Jan. 15, 2000. He leads the commonwealth's largest general purpose local government with annual general fund disbursements of $2.5 billion and more than 11,000 employees. During his 27 years of service in Northern Virginia, he held various positions with the Arlington County government, including deputy county manager and acting county manager, and was manager of the city of Falls Church for six years before joining Fairfax County in 1989 as deputy county executive for Planning and Development. He is also a veteran of the U.S. Marine Corps.
A graduate of Hobart College in Geneva, N.Y., Griffin holds a master's degree in urban and regional planning and a master's degree in urban affairs with a concentration in urban management, both from Virginia Tech (Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University).
SIAM created the Stone award in 1980, and it was first awarded in 1981. The award is named in honor of Donald C. Stone (1903-1995), a founder of both the International City/County Management Association and the American Public Works Association.

Temporary Housing
Once you are in the city, your first concern will probably be where to stay while you look for housing. If you do not have relatives or friends who can offer a place to stay, you may want to consider some other alternatives.
The following list of hotels may be helpful, but feel free to contact others on your own. Rates will vary depending on date and season of arrival. Note that all hotels charge taxes in addition to their published rates. You might also find less expensive accommodations by visiting the various online travel or hotel reservation sites.
Please remember that the hotels listed below are located in the center of a large urban area. The law school cannot guarantee the safety of any individual lodging, has not inspected the locations and does not endorse any of the listed lodgings. This information is provided solely as a reference guide.

Other Long-Term Housing
Los Angeles, like any other major city in the U.S., can be an expensive place to live. Be prepared for a monthly rent of at least $700-$1,000 in a shared residence and at least $900-$1,600 for a studio or one-bedroom apartment.
Living with someone can offer many advantages, including sharing the cost of rent and utilities, making your personal cost of living much lower. It also often opens up a whole new network of friends; for people unfamiliar with L.A., having a roommate in the beginning is an easier way to get to know the area. The bulletin board in the Westmoreland Building, located in the stairwell leading to the basement, is often a good place to check recent postings from current students looking for roommates. The Admissions Office also provides information to assist in roommate searches (click here for details).
When choosing a place to live that is more than 10-15 minutes from campus, it is important to consider how accessible it is to the freeway system or public transportation. The majority of students at Southwestern commute and own vehicles, but there are some who take the Metro Rail to school. There is a Metro Red Line stop two blocks from campus, so it's a good idea to look at the different routes and check out the areas that offer this alternative way of commuting in Los Angeles. Click here for more information on transportation.
Looking For Housing
From Westside Rentals to Craigslist, there are a plethora of fee-based and free websites available for those searching for housing in Los Angeles. The information in this guide is provided to help you navigate what to look for and what to ask when looking at these options and visiting available housing.
As in any big city, there may be neighborhoods where you may not feel comfortable. You may call the Admissions Office to ask about a specific area before signing a lease. Also see Neighborhoods at a Glance.

General Rental Advice
Inspecting the Property
When looking for housing to rent, investigate the house or apartment with a critical eye. Make sure that all faucets work, you can get hot and cold water, and there are no signs of leakage in the plumbing. If there are obvious signs of problems, such as a bucket of water under the sink, ask the landlord about it. Make sure you get his reply in writing with a time estimate for repair.
Check to see if all appliances, lights and outlets are in working order. Look at all wiring and make sure that bare wires are not exposed. Inspect the refrigerator, stove, oven and dishwasher to see that they work and are clean. Check the doors and windows to make sure they are secure and safe: Do the doors have strong locks? Do the windows have locks and screens? Open and close all doors and windows to be sure that they work properly.
Don't be afraid to ask the landlord any questions you may have. Make sure to get meaningful answers and take notes so you can remember the answers later. Much like a job interview, your interaction with the landlord will give you an idea of what it will be like to work with him in the future. You may also want to talk with neighbors to find out their impressions of the landlord and the neighborhood. Ask if repairs are quickly made; it is a good sign if other tenants speak highly of the landlord and the neighborhood.
Leases and Other Agreements
Leases are legally binding rental agreements. Do not sign more than one lease thinking that you are only holding the apartments until you make a decision. Before you sign the lease, be sure you want the apartment and read it carefully. Do not be afraid to ask the landlord to add things to the lease regarding such things as repairs or appliances. Most leases are for a one-year period, but this may be negotiable. Normally, you are expected to pay rent for the entire leasing period, even if you move out early.
Also, make sure that all agreements with your landlord are in writing. Verbal agreements are usually worth nothing. If a landlord won't put anything in writing, you may not want to rent from him.
Security Deposit
Most landlords will require a security deposit; it is usually the equivalent of one month's rent. The security deposit is the landlord's insurance against damage or the tenants leaving without paying rent. The landlord may subtract the cost of any damage and/or cleaning incurred after you move out of the apartment. However, the landlord may not charge you for normal wear-and-tear on the apartment or excessive cleaning charges if you have cleaned the apartment before you move out. You are legally entitled to receive your security deposit back at the end of your lease (minus any charges for excessive damage or cleaning costs).
Ask the following questions:
- When will the apartment be available?
- How much is the security deposit?
- Is the apartment furnished (refrigerator included), and if so, is there an extra deposit?
- If applicable: Are pets allowed, and if so, is there an extra deposit?
- Which utilities (such as water, trash, gas and electricity) are included in the rent?
- On average, how much are utilities per month?
- Is air conditioning/heat available, and if so, how much does it cost on average?
- Is there parking available, and is it covered/gated?
- Does parking cost extra?
- Are there laundry facilities available?
- Is shopping available nearby?
- Is the neighborhood safe/quiet? (you may want drive by the area in the evening)
The following information may be required when arranging your rental contract:
- Your previous address and phone number
- Your previous landlord's and employer's address and phone number
- Your bank account and credit card information
- Your driver's license number
Remember to bring your checkbook or cash for a credit report fee (usually $25-50) and be ready to put down a deposit once the credit report comes back. Also, before you move in, document any existing problems or noticeable markings that were there prior to your signing the lease. Having photographs showing the state of the apartment to accompany the notes is a good idea.
In general, do not spend more than 30-40 percent of your income or monthly budget on rent and utilities.

Coke's sore groin puts strain on Tigers' bullpen
DETROIT -- Phil Coke continues to be bothered by the left groin strain that has sidelined him since last weekend. The question the Tigers faced Tuesday was whether he's ready to return. The question they could soon face is how long they can afford to wait.
His availability to pitch Tuesday hinged on a pregame throwing session. He played catch briefly in left field during batting practice, then went back into the clubhouse with head athletic trainer Kevin Rand.
With Coke out, the Tigers survived Monday with four big outs from Drew Smyly, two of them against Joe Mauer and Justin Morneau. Smyly was available again Tuesday night, supporting the theory that his versatility has helped save the Tigers' bullpen more than once in the season's opening month.
Lefty Darin Downs also has been available to get outs against left-handed hitters. Still, it's difficult to see the Tigers getting through a long stretch short-handed.

There is no NBA player named Monte Ellis.
It has to me. Who do you think they have had on the other teams best player. Ray Allen? Wade? Chalmers?
Battier, Lewis, Beasley, yes, Allen some. I think Kevin Durant's defense is just brushed aside too much. He's not great, but he's definitely not horrible as many here perceive him to be.

I haven't seen the Heat in about 2 weeks. But prior to that I did not see Lebron off the best player very much when he was in the game. Wasn't against us. Even if that has changed its probably only changed because Lebron was so wore down from doing it
He was for almost half the game against us. He picked up his 3rd foul and switched off PG for the rest of the game.
There is no NBA player named Monte Ellis.
Fair enough, but that was for a reason. Its not often he gets in foul trouble. He guarded him the whole game the other game right
Looks like we might be facing the Kings without Cousins almost certainly without gay unless the reports are wrong.
Could help us be ready for the B2B
Deng didn't show up against his former team.
Hope Durant's shoulder is ok
I think the reason Durant switches off has more to do with how good of a defender sefolosha (so?) is and less about his defensive abilities. He used to be a poor defender, but he's steadily improving every year.

Time for a new sig.
What happened to Kwahi, he like dropped of a cliff after being really good in the Finals.
He's doing about the same, he's just being rested a lot. He's averaging under 29 minutes a game.
Time for a new sig.
If the Thunder hang on, we'll be the only team in the NBA with fewer than 10 losses.
Durant is absolutely nuts
Kwahi broke his hand tonight.
HOT POTATAH HOT POTATAH…. really enjoy watching reggie jackson play.
Kings could be without Gay and Cousins on Friday night.
http://espn.go.com/nba/story/_/id/10...ouston-rocketsHOUSTON -- Sacramento lost forward Rudy Gay to a left Achilles tendon injury and leading scorer DeMarcus Cousins to left ankle sprain against the Houston Rockets on Wednesday night.
Gay, who tied a career high with 41 points on Tuesday night, was injured midway through the first quarter and limped off the court and to the locker room. Cousins was injured on a hard foul by Patrick Beverley that drew a technical in the second quarter.
Both players missed the rest of the game and Sacramento lost 119-98.
Kings coach Mike Malone didn't have more information on the injuries after the game and said that they'd know more on Thursday.
"It was a big loss to lose both of those guys in the first half," he said.
Gay, who had four points before he was hurt, entered the game averaging 20.2 points and 6.2 rebounds a game this season. He has started all 21 games since he was traded from Toronto on Dec. 9.
Cousins entered the game averaging 23.1 points and 11.7 rebounds.
I never was impressed with that trade as a whole. Bulls got salary relief, but the Cavs got a player who they have no guarantee they can re-sign. Not to mention the giving of draft picks to the Bulls. So far Deng, I don't see Deng has done much for the Cavs.
The Cavs can re-sign Deng....they have $41 mil in guaranteed salary ( assuming that they pick up Varajeo's salary ) to re-sign him. The Cavs have been looking for a Real Starting SF for the longest time....they aren't going to pay that much to get him and then not re-sign him.
Ash from Army of Darkness: Good...Bad...I'm the guy with the gun.
Thunder are the only team that really scare me as a Pacers fan, their defense is top 5 and if they are struggling on offense they have Kevin Durant. When we struggle on offense Paul George hasn't reached that level yet, while KD can just will his way to 35 points. If this Kevin Durant comes to play in the finals, along with Westbrook and the Thunder defense/bench, it's going to be a very impressive series.
Sounds like Rudy Gay won't play tomorrow.
An MRI reveals a strain for Rudy Gay, league source tells Yahoo. He'll be in a walking boot for 3-to-5 days, then re-evaluated.— Adrian Wojnarowski (@WojYahooNBA) January 23, 2014

Cousins is also day to day.
Justin Beiber is rumored to be planning to sit courtside at the Heat-Lakers game tonight, hours after getting out on bail from DUI/drag racing/drugs/underaged drinking.
Heat fans will probably cheer the little turd.
The poster "pacertom" since this forum began (and before!). I changed my name here to "Slick Pinkham" in honor of the imaginary player That Bobby "Slick" Leonard picked late in the 1971 ABA draft (true story!).
Love Coach Nick....really great videos all the time.

Quality tool, works both ways
By Roadrunner Pete
from Boston
Just a note to say it works well installing and removing master links (at least the two KMC master links I have tried, 9 and 10 speed chains). I do all my own work, built my last road bike etc, so I can say with authority this one tool works well. Great addition to my toolbox!
Must have tool
By Cycle Pete
from Groton, MA.
This is a must have tool for any chain with a master link. Well constructed and easy to use.
Must Have Tool
By JD Of NSC
from Boston, MA
A must have tool for KMC, SRAM, or Wipperman chains that use the Quick Link Master Link. Yes the master link stretches more than the other links so maybe for racing you should use a Shimano style chain. For all others, this is the easy way to go and this tool makes the master link removal a snap.
1-2-3 Easy Chain Tool!
By Serotta Steve
from Croton on Hudson, NY
Wow! I've used all types of chain tools and my switch to a SRAM chain with the speed link and this tool makes taking off a chain a snap! Literally 5 seconds on & off. No messy fingers either and no frozen links.
PM master link pliers

from saint Louis, MORE.
Should of bought this tool years ago, instead of trying to man-handle those links. One-two-three and link removed.

'"It's a big deal. We'll just have to see how it pans out," Sabres coach Lindy Ruff said Thursday from Montreal prior to beating the Canadiens. "The best player, obviously, is Thornton. But there's a lot of teams out there relying on a lot of good players instead of one line or one individual to carry the team. (The Bruins) have been struggling, and they did something of pretty good proportions to shake things up."'

Hoiberg's Mind on Heart Surgery Recovery, Not Basketball
Jul 14, 3:00 AM (ET)
By DAVE CAMPBELL
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - Fred Hoiberg's recovery from heart surgery has been both scary and sobering.
The Minnesota Timberwolves guard has been told he should be able to play basketball again, but that doesn't mean the 10-year veteran will choose to.
"As far as my playing career goes, I'll be honest with you - these last couple weeks, it hasn't ever entered my mind," said Hoiberg, who held a news conference Wednesday at Target Center to discuss his condition as he continues to recover from an operation to correct an enlarged aortic root in his heart.
The surgery was performed June 28 at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester by Dr. Hartzell Schaff. The root, where the artery meets the heart's aortic valve, had a bulge in it. It was removed and replaced with a synthetic one.
Hoiberg, a valuable reserve who led the NBA in 3-point accuracy last season for the Timberwolves, was fitted with a permanent pacemaker last week. The device might lengthen the recovery time, but shouldn't prevent him from playing again if his body responds correctly.
The day after the pacemaker was installed, Hoiberg had a big setback. Feeling weak and nauseous and struggling to breathe properly, he collapsed and fell face down in his Twin Cities area home - cutting his chin on the floor.
His wife, Carol, called 911 and he regained consciousness shortly before paramedics arrived. After checking into the hospital that night, doctors discovered an abnormal amount of fluid - about 1 liter, compared with the usual tablespoon - built up around his heart. That probably prevented blood from flowing freely to his head and prompted him to pass out.
"I'm lucky that I'm young and in shape or else I would've been in trouble," said Hoiberg, who looked pale and weak but smiled while he spoke and answered questions for more than 20 minutes.
Hoiberg has to hang around the house for the next two months, not allowed to lift anything heavier than 5 pounds. Because of the pacemaker, he's also prohibited from lifting his left arm above his head.
The limitations are frustrating for Hoiberg, a father of four, but it's given him perspective, too.
"It's been such a tough ordeal ... playing really wasn't very important to me," he said. "Seeing my kids is important.
"Now I'm starting to feel a little bit better. And I'm sure as training camp approaches my competitive juices will start flowing a little bit, and I'll want to get back out there. But I'm going to have to take my time with this process."
That's just fine with the Timberwolves. Vice president of basketball operations Kevin McHale has told Hoiberg he'll have a spot in the organization if he doesn't resume playing.
"We want him back as a basketball player first, but Lord forbid, if something happened to him he doesn't have to worry," coach Dwane Casey said.
I'm glad he's doing all right now, but that had to be scary! I wouldn't like having a permanent pacemaker, but I it beats the other option all to heck!


text: Prosecutor says Massey disaster probe far from over By Ken Ward Jr. October 27, 2011 Story Share CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- U.S. Attorney Booth Goodwin promised Thursday that a sprawling criminal investigation of the Upper Big Branch Mine Disaster is far from over, and said critics of the probe's results to date should not assume the inquiry won't reach higher up the mine's management ladder.Goodwin said federal investigators are examining a variety of ways to file more charges, including whether any two or more company officials conspired to violate federal mine safety laws -- a strategy not used previously against the coal industry."It hasn't been in the playbook," Goodwin said in an interview with the Gazette. "But we're not operating under the prior playbook."Goodwin discussed the ongoing investigation a day after a federal jury in Beckley gave his office its second conviction in an 18-month probe of the worst U.S. coal-mining disaster in nearly 40 years.A 12-person jury found Upper Big Branch security chief Hughie Elbert Stover guilty of two felonies: lying to federal agents and trying to destroy evidence. When sentenced in February, Stover will face up to 25 years in prison.Last month, former Upper Big Branch miner Thomas Harrah was sentenced to 10 months in jail. Harrah pleaded guilty to faking a foreman's license when he performed key mine safety examinations at the mine between January 2008 and August 2009 and to then lying to investigators about his actionsEarlier this week, United Mine Workers officials issued a reported that labeled the April 2010 explosion that killed 29 workers "industrial homicide," and demanded more prosecutions of top officials from the former Massey Energy.And Stover's defense lawyer, former U.S. Attorney Bill Wilmoth, argued to jurors that his client was little more than a scapegoat, while prosecutors had not brought charges against "the real villain or villains in this disaster."But Goodwin said the two convictions for misleading investigators are important, especially in the coal counties of Southern West Virginia, where the industry's economic and political power can keep some witnesses from coming forward and prompt others to be less then truthful. Goodwin said prosecutors had hoped to get honest testimony from Stover, who sometimes provided personal security for former Massey CEO Don Blankenship and other corporate officials."What we wanted, bottom line from him, was cooperation, and he provided the exact opposite," Goodwin said. "This sends a message that you should not lie and you should not obstruct this investigation." The Harrah case provides a glimpse at how obstruction not only hides information from federal investigators, but also sends agents off in other directions that eventually prove less than fruitful.Initially, Harrah told agents that Massey officials had helped him obtain a fake foreman's certificate. Investigators began pursuing that lead, only to find that Harrah's had lied to them and had acted alone.Goodwin said investigators were quick to pick up on Harrah's false statement, but acknowledged such an incident "takes resources away from the ultimate point of the investigation."In this case, Goodwin said that ultimate point is a slow and methodical effort to find out what caused the mine explosion, and then uncover any criminal activity involved."We're taking small chunks," Goodwin said. "If you bite off an enormous deal like what caused the explosion, that's just mind-boggling what it would require, if it's even possible." Goodwin's office had three attorneys at the trial for the Stover case, and two others are also assigned to Upper Big Branch. Most of the crimes they would consider prosecuting have a five-year statute of limitations, giving them plenty of time to develop more cases.Some of the nation's most fierce advocates for coal-mine safety are pleased with Goodwin's progress, and believe federal investigators will eventually bring more charges.Tony Oppegard, a longtime mine safety lawyer in Kentucky, said Thursday that it's important to prosecute anyone who pretends they have the proper foreman's training and credentials to conduct mine safety examinations."To me, that's a particularly egregious act and it's more widespread than people think," Oppegard said.Oppegard also said it was important to send a message that obstructing the disaster probe would not be tolerated, given the accounts of former Upper Big Branch miners about intimidation of workers with safety concerns."I see this as a beginning point and the prosecutors sending a message that if you lie to us, you're in trouble," Oppegard said. So far, Alpha Natural Resources, which in June acquired Massey Energy, has declined to comment on the latest criminal conviction in the Stover case.Ted Pile, a spokesman for Alpha, said that his company continues its own investigation of Upper Big Branch, but does not have a timeline for completing that "thorough and exhaustive" effort.An independent investigation, a union probe and preliminary findings of the U.S. Mine Safety and Health Administration have all blamed the explosion on Massey's routine failure to maintain mining equipment, provide adequate underground ventilation and properly clean up explosive coal dust from mine tunnels.Federal mine safety law makes it a crime to knowingly and willfully violate a safety or health standard. But doing so is only a misdemeanor, punishable by up to one year in prison. Falsifying a variety of mine safety reports required by MSHA is a felony that carries up to 5 years in jail.Frequently in mine safety prosecutions, charges of lying on MSHA reports are brought against low-level section foremen whose jobs involve signing those reports. Those same foremen -- or lower-level subsidiary firms listed as mine operators -- are typical targets for charges of willfully violating safety standards.That's what happened after the January 2006 fire that killed miners Don Bragg and Ellery Hatfield at Massey's Aracoma Alma No. 1 Mine in Logan County. Massey subsidiary Aracoma Coal Co. paid a $2.5 million criminal fine. Five of the subsidiary's mid- and low-level foreman later pleaded guilty to misdemeanor charges. No one went to jail.Pat McGinley, a West Virginia University law professor who served on Davitt McAteer's independent probe of Upper Big Branch, noted this week that only one of the four combined criminal counts in the Harrah and Stover cases stemmed from mine safety laws. Prosecutors used more general laws that make it a crime to lie to federal agents or try to conceal or destroy evidence in a federal investigation, McGinley said."Federal prosecutors have numerous tools available should they find criminal conduct led to the UBB disaster," McGinley said. "It appears that the Justice Department attorneys are carefully examining an enormous amount of evidence to determine if there are persons who should be held criminally responsible for the deplorable conditions that led to the UBB disaster."Reach Ken Ward Jr. at firstname.lastname@example.com or 304-348-1702.

After BMW revamped the MINI brand in 2000, the automaker was a little slow to introduce a soft-top version of the now-ubiquitous Hardtop. Finally in 2005, the MINI Convertible was launched. A drop-top companion to the standard MINI, it features four seats and the same three power configurations: Cooper, Cooper S, and John Cooper Works.
A redesigned MINI Convertible entered its second generation in 2009. The car now features a fully-automatic soft-top that opens in a mere 15 seconds and an "Openometer" that tracks how many minutes you've spent driving with the top down. Convertibles are notoriously expensive, but for the features, styling, and power, the MINI Convertible is a great budget-conscious option for those looking to explore the open road with an open top.

MIAMI - People living in Miami-Dade County who want to vote in the referendum concerning renovations at Sun Life Stadium have until Monday to register.
On May 14, voters will decide whether to increase the hotel bed tax in mainland Miami-Dade by one percent to help fund renovations at the Miami Dolphins' home. The team will pay for the local referendum.
To register to vote, residents must: be 18 years or older; be a U.S. citizen; and, be a permanent resident of Miami-Dade County.
Residents wanting to register to vote can visit the Elections Department website and click on "Register to Vote." After completing the online form, it must be printed, signed, and mailed to the Elections Department at:
Supervisor of Elections
P.O. Box 51550
Miami, FL 33152
Forms must be postmarked by April 15 to be accepted. They can also be dropped off at:
Miami-Dade Elections Department
2700 NW 87th Avenue
Miami, FL 33172
The Sun Life Stadium deal
The deal, a 30-year economic development grant, includes a non-relocation agreement. The Dolphins could pay a minimum $120 million repayment penalty if certain conditions, including the number of Super Bowls and BCS Championship they land, aren't met.
The Dolphins have offered to pay the county and the state back the money it receives from a sales tax rebate of $3 million a year for 30 years.
The state legislature is considering a bill that would authorize the rebate and also raise the hotel bed tax. Under the Senate version of the bill, the Dolphins would have to compete for that money with other professional sports franchises in the state.
The Dolphins say that their 25-year-old stadium needs at least $350 million in improvements to remain competitive with newer stadiums around the NFL. In its deal with the county, the team will pay 70 percent of the cost.
The Dolphins and San Francisco 49ers, who will move into a new stadium next year, are vying for Super Bowl L in 2016. The loser will compete against the Houston Texans to host Super Bowl LI in 2017.
NFL team owners will announce the locations of Super Bowls L and LI on May 22 in Boston.

Mijares on restricted list after return delayed
SAN FRANCISCO -- Giants left-handed reliever Jose Mijares was expected to return to the team Monday, but he did not arrive in time for the game.
As a result, the Giants placed Mijares on the restricted list. His time on the bereavement list expired after seven days. Mijares had flown to Venezuela to attend his grandmother's funeral.
Giants manager Bruce Bochy wasn't making anything out of it and anticipated Mijares would be in uniform for Tuesday night's game against the Philadelphia Phillies.
"We're going to hold off on making any move until he gets here," Bochy said. "I heard he's supposed to arrive late tonight. It's not a big deal."

The Oakland County Board of Commissioners recently approved an agreement to begin Severe Weather Warning System additions in Holly Township. The agreement -- passed Nov. 28 -- stipulates that the township and Oakland County will jointly split the costs of two tornado sirens meant to expand the Oakland County Outdoor Warning System.
Construction is set to begin sometime in December, with Holly Township investing $34,500 and Oakland County providing extra funding of $11,500. Oakland County commissioner Bob Hoffman, who represents the region, is pleased that the county and communities like Holly Township are collaborating.
"It shows the benefits of pooling our resources together," said the commissioner in a recent media release.
The county has secured its portion of funding for the sirens with a 2008 Urban Area Security Initiative Grant, said officials.

Black Friday can be so limiting which is why OfficeMax is expanding a program it offered last year involving special deal pricing every Friday until mid December.
The promotion, which began November 9 and will run through December 14, involves the unveiling of a special holiday deal on a select product at OfficeMax.com that is available for one day only. In addition to driving sales, the company is leveraging the promotional tactic as a means to build its customer database since shoppers are being encouraged to sign up to receive alerts announcing the deals. The first deal offered was a Zeal II Task Chair for $49.99, normally $99.99, and it was available in-store and at OfficeMax.com.
"Following last year's success, we're excited to make Black Friday Every Friday bigger than ever this year by enabling shoppers to take advantage of these great savings," said Ronald Lalla, EVP and chief merchandising officer at OfficeMax. "OfficeMax is making it convenient and easy for shoppers to save big early and often on holiday gifts and more throughout the season."

What are the "big five" calf management areas that get overlooked in the spring? Sam Leadley, calf and heifer management specialist with Attica Veterinary Associates, Attica, NY, says they are:
- Not enough to eat
- Not enough coccidiostat consumed
- Not enough clean, dry bedding
- Not chilling colostrum quickly enough
- Not using effective cleaning procedures
The result, says Leadley, is a higher-than-normal proportion of sick and underperforming calves. He outlines his advice for each management area in the latest issue of his Calving Ease newsletter.

Every culture produces its own "keeper." Every culture produces its own principles, its own history, its own advocates, and its own prophet pointing the way to a higher quality of life. For the urban-street culture known in the world today as "Hip Hop," KRS-ONE is all of the above. Appearing on the rap scene in 1986 as Boogie Down Productions releasing his first hit single "South Bronx" with the late DJ Scott La Rock, KRS "the one" made it clear that Hip Hop was going to have to take itself a lot more serious.

Sat, Jan 26, 8 & 10pm
8pm $26; 10pm $22
Using an instrument many have owned but few have mastered, urban jazz harmonicist, Frédéric Yonnet's musical skills and stage presence crush every preconceived notion you've ever had about the harmonica. Just listen to his sound. It funks. It rocks. It hips and hops. It grooves. It sways. It testifies. It prays. It has a reverence for gospel, blues and jazz while appealing to a generation bred on pop rock and hip-hop. His impressive style has led to performances, tours and recordings with some of the heaviest hitters in the music business including the legendary Stevie Wonder, the iconic Prince, award-winning songwriter David Foster, game-changing instrumentalist Kenny G, American Idol's Randy Jackson and R&B artists Erykah Badu, Wyclef, India.Arie, Anthony Hamilton and John Legend. Rolling Stone magazine referred to Yonnet as "Prince's killer harmonica player" and praise from comedian Dave Chappelle, contemporary jazzman Bob James, songstress Patti Austin and producer Pharrell Williams have affirmed his mission to change the way the music industry, musicians and enthusiasts regard the pocket-size reed instrument.

When Helen Jane Long is composing music, she wants to attain nothing less than tranquility. Not the tranquility of numbness or sleep, but tranquility through affirmation, through a music that aspires to an elegance and civility rarely found in this world. In other words, the music of Helen Jane Long makes you feel good. How good? She was named to the UK's Classical FM Hall Of Fame in 2011 for her album, Embers. Her music is used commercially for Volkswagen, British Airways, National Geographic, Discovery, the BBC.

MYCLE WASTMAN plus Austin Jenckes
Wed, Jan 30, 8pm
$15 (adv); $20 (door)
Seattle's soul-singer, Mycle Wastman, emerged as a stealth frontrunner on this season of NBC's The Voice. Rightly so! He delivers a refreshing combination of an old soulful vibe, R&B sensibilities and a splash of pop. Wastman is a singer's singer, interpreting from all of the greats that have gone before him while still firmly exerting a style of his own. He's undeniably on par with the vocal Legends of our time! Wastman was an Army private a little over 20 years ago, later serving in the Army Reserves as a chaplain's assistant at Madigan Army Medical Center at Fort Lewis. He then worked construction jobs in Seattle, but by the time he turned 30, he decided to return to his first love.

Bill Champlin is best known for being a member of Chicago, which he joined in 1981 and remained a member of for 28 years. However, his career encompasses a whole lot more. Bill's first band, The Opposite Six, was formed in 1961, while he was still in high school. Later, The Sons of Champlin formed in 1965 as a five-piece band, and later expanded to seven members. The Sons recorded seven commercially released albums between 1968 and 1977 and gained a devoted fan base. However, they never quite made it on The National scene, and disbanded in 1977. No Place Left To Fall (DreamMakers/2009) is Bill's first solo CD / DVD in over 12 years. Read more here.
LEELA JAMES: In The Spirit of Etta
Fri-Sat, Feb 1-2, 8pm & 10pm
8pm $30; 10pm $25
As one of the pre-eminent soul singers of her generation, Leela James has thrilled audiences around the world with her high-energy performances, which deliver her highly personal take on classic soul music. Few of Leela's fans know that her last name is not really "James" and many have thought that she was the granddaughter of Etta James. The fact is that she adopted that performing name as a new artist because, since the time she was little, older folks have told her that she sounded like Etta James. Leela's sound, along with her wild, passionate and let-it-all-hang-performances on stage have further sparked comparisons to Etta's over-the-top style. Unlike many of the current R&B singers on the scene, Leela is one of a small handful with an original sound and vocal style. Even when singing on a hip-hop-inflected track, she sounds like an "old soul." And, like Etta, Leela's sensibility spills over from R&B, blues, and hip-hop (She's collaborated with everyone from Kanye West to Pete Rock) to rock (as her gospelized version of Foreigner's "I Want To Know What Love Is" demonstrated), gospel, jazz (as with her duet recording with Ray Charles on "Compared To What") and even electronica (her guest vocal on Moby's Wait For Me album in 2009).

VIEUX FARKA TOURE plus Markus James
Sun, Feb 3, 7pm
Often referred to as "The Hendrix of the Sahara," Vieux Farka Toure was born in Niafunké, Mali in 1981. He is the son of legendary Malian guitar player Ali Farka Toure, who died in 2006. Ali Farka Touré came from a historical tribe of soldiers, and defied his parents in becoming a musician. When Vieux was in his teens, he declared that he also wanted to be a musician. His father disapproved due to the pressures he had experienced being a musician. Rather, he wanted Vieux to become a soldier. But with help from family friend the kora maestro Toumani Diabaté, Vieux eventually convinced his father to give him his blessing to become a musician shortly before Ali passed. Read more here.

Thu, Feb 7, 8pm
For a while, most people still recalled her as the precocious next-generation talent that produced one of the defining hits of The Internet age, 'I Wish I Was A Punk Rocker (With Flowers In My Hair).' This talented singer-songwriter has come a long way in the years since then. As Sandi now says, "The strange thing about having the kind of success I had, people think they know you. In fact, people don't know me at all." Read more here.

An Evening of the music of Prince
Fri, Feb 8, 8 & 10:30pm
ANDY McKEE plus The Joel Tipke Band
Sat, Feb 9, 8 & 10pm
Andy McKee's acoustic guitar can approximate the polyrhythmic interplay of a percussion ensemble, the harmonic sweep of a string section, the dazzling runs of a bluegrass doghouse bass-and-banjo duo, and virtually anything else his pastoral compositions and tasteful covers require. In nine years and five records he's written an oeuvre that globally inspires and intrigues music fans. His robust 200 dates-a-year tour itinerary-often spanning domestic rural to the exotically remote, from Albuquerque to Jakarta to Zurich and everything in between-and his fans-first commitment, make him a Worldwide ambassador for a new era in acoustic virtuosity.

Some bands create music to fit a genre. Others, like San Francisco-based Odd Owl, create a genre to fit their music. "It's pretty hard for us to make music that isn't honest about who we are," says Caruso, Odd Owl's lead singer and keyboardist. "What we create is just an extension of our musical experiences, it's not some role we're trying to play. Besides," she laughs, "I've never been very good at acting anyways." Said to "produce some incredible new era indie music" [Br00d, Neighbors Hate Us], the group's members have fused their musical influences together into their own brand of "indie dance-rock," drawing from genres such as chamber pop, funk, lo-fi, and alternative dance. Read more here.
Foxtails Brigade present an ornate kind of chamber pop, intricate violin and cello arrangements are anchored by Laura Weinbach's intricately played classical guitar and pitch perfect vocals. But underneath the simple melodies lie an impeding darkness, a lyrical landscape populated by shadowy and bizarre characters, rife with hints of rot, aging, and death.

Arroyo High's Carlos Jimenez took the SAT test Saturday and didn't arrive at the Dons' football game until the second quarter.
But he was there when the Dons needed him, as he booted a 30-yard field goal in the third overtime to lift host Arroyo to a 31-28 West Alameda County Conference Shoreline Division victory over Mt. Eden.
"That last one, I knew I had to do it for my team," said Jimenez, who had not converted three previous field goal attempts in the game. "My team didn't keep their heads down; neither did I."
Arroyo (3-3, 1-0 WACC Shoreline) trailed 7-6 until Ryan Gordon scored on an 11-yard run with 7 minutes, 7 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter. A two-point conversion run by DeJon Savage gave Arroyo a 14-7 lead.
But Mt. Eden (3-3, 0-1) answered with an 80-yard drive, which was capped by a 58-yard touchdown pass from Jonathan Sturholm to Curtis Keeling Jr. Miguel Estaban's point-after tied the game at 14 with 4:36 left in regulation.
Both teams scored touchdowns on their first two overtime drives, and the score was tied at 28 heading into the third OT. Mt. Eden had the ball first in the third overtime, and Arroyo's defense came up big with sacks by Ben Sira and Jimenez. After a penalty against Mt. Eden, Estaban missed a 52-yard field goal try.
Arroyo had negative-three yards on its first three plays of the next series before Jimenez kicked his game-winner.
Gordon rushed for 117 yards and two touchdowns, and also had a key fourth-quarter interception. Mt. Eden's Devante McGowan had 108 yards rushing, inclduding on a 10-yard touchdown run in the first overtime.
St. Mary's 35, Valley Christian 28: Quarterback Kevin Flemer threw for 376 yards and five touchdowns, and the host Panthers held on for a Tri-County Athletic League Rock Division win over the Vikings.
All five touchdowns came in the first half as St. Mary's built a 35-21 lead.
Lorenzo Logwood caught four passes for 140 yards and two touchdowns. Liam Godfrey also caught four balls for 115 yards and a touchdown.
The Vikings (4-2, 0-2 TCAL Rock) were able to contain the Panthers (3-3, 1-1) in the second half. Valley Christian piled up 292 yards on the ground and after Howard Wikle scored on a 1-yard run in the fourth quarter, the score was 35-28.
The Vikings got the ball back with 3:07 to play at the St. Mary's 41 after the Panthers failed on a fourth down. A 24-yard run by A.J. Harris gave the Vikings a first down at the 18. St. Mary's defense held and when Vince Volpatti's pass to Demaurier Blackwell fell incomplete in the end zone, the game was sealed.

Salesian 40, St. Patrick's-St. Vincent 0: The host Pride stumbled in the early going but quickly got back on track and ran away from the Bruins in a TCAL Rock Division game.
Salesian (6-1, 2-1 TCAL Rock) scored only once in the first quarter but scored four touchdowns in the second to lead 34-0 at the break.
Running back De'Angelo Hernandez had 21 carries for 121 yards. He scored on an 8-yard run with 3:22 left in the first quarter to put Salesian up 7-0.
Trevor Thomas, who scored two touchdowns, had four carries for 106 yards for the Pride. Quarterback Christian Bustamante led the Bruins (1-6, 0-3) with 72 yards rushing on eight carries.

American 26, Irvington 13: American's Kyle Barker threw for 220 yards and three touchdowns in a Mission Valley Athletic League game at Tak Fudenna Stadium.
Barker's top target was Segun Giwa, who caught five passes for 97 yards — including a 6-yard touchdown reception that gave American (4-2, 1-1 MVAL) a 12-7 lead late in the first half.
American ran the ball 58 times for 211 yards. Jesus Romero led the way with 71 yards on 15 carries.
Irvington (3-3, 1-2) took a 13-12 lead on Ariel Hercik's 45-yard touchdown run with 10:55 left in the third quarter. But American responded with a methodical 12-play, 72-yard drive that culminated in a 23-yard touchdown pass from Barker to Anthony Young for a 20-13 lead with 6:31 left in the quarter.

Hi Visit the blog "Zona OpenGTS" (www) zona-opengts.blogspot.com Thanks !!!
A little rough around the edges, but very useful
My search for a good GPS track editor has been an annual excercise for several years - every time I return from travels with 40 to 60 GPS track logs that need to be cleaned up. Was relying on GpsPrune. JGPSTrackEdit is much easier to use becuse the track point list is also visible and I can move through the list to determine the imapct of removing a point.
So interesting!

Robert Towne is a screenwriter who won an Oscar for "Chinatown" and was nominated for "The Last Detail" and "Shampoo." He is best known in Hollywood however as a "script doctor." That's a writer who comes in and polishes, or sometimes completely rewrites, a movie script -- occasionally as the film is shooting.
Towne is in Minnesota to talk about screenwriting at a special presentation at the Walker Art Center. In addition to screening clips from his work, the Walker will screen Towne's latest film, "Ask the Dust."
He'll also talk about his skills as a script doctor. A few years back, Tom Cruise brought him in after seven or eight writers had failed to produce an acceptable script for "Mission Impossible 2." It had already taken so long that director John Woo had developed all the action sequences for the film.
Towne was given the task, if he chose to accept it, of writing a script knitting it all together. It was just six weeks before shooting was scheduled to begin. Minnesota Public Radio's Euan Kerr asked Towne what it took to get the job done.
