Broken charger port
So my GF got in a fight with her sis and her sis grabbed the phone and threw it, in the process ripping the charger out (it was plugged in at the time). She found the male connecter embedded into the phone's charger port, and after getting that out she cannot get the phone to charge anymore (leading us to the assumption that somehow the pins or something were damaged). Is there a way to fix this? The only "solution" I can come up with is to buy one of those battery cradles and a spare battery and just swap between batteries from now on. FWIW, the VzW store told her that they don't repair out of production phones.

As the new year rolls in, the J-14 editors are predicting who they think will rule the celeb world in 2011. Here are our picks:
"Give 'Catch Me if You Can' one listen and you'll know what I mean." --Editor-in-Chief Rachel Chang
Chris Colfer
"He is absolutely amazing on Glee. Now that he's nominated for Golden Globe and SAG awards, people are finally seeing what I've known all along. And he couldn't be more sweet, genuine, and appreciative in real life. I can't wait to see what 2011 has in store for my favorite gleek!" --Associate Editor Kim Messina
Jaden Smith
"He's already been in the spotlight this year for The Karate Kid and collaborating with Justin Bieber on 'Never Say Never,' but something tells me this is only the beginning for the little man. He's comes from a well known family that is full of talent and I feel like he will really sky rocket to top, right next to his buddy Justin in 2011." --Photo Assistant Katelyn Mullen
Dianna Agron
"She's awesome on Glee, though sometimes overshadowed. Viewers will really fall in love with her in I Am Number Four this February, kicking off the start of her reign as queen of 2011!" --Editorial Assistant Rachel Sheehan
Gregg Sulkin
"Cute British accent? Check. Adorable smile? Check. Majorly talented? Double check! I've been cheering for Gregg ever since he first appeared on Wizards of Waverly Place as Alex's werewolf love interest, Mason Greyback. And now that he's starred in Avalon High, become a regular on season four of Wizards, and filmed an indie flick, I think Gregg's well on his way to breaking out as the Rob Pattinson of 2011." --Editorial Assistant Ashley Spencer
Who do you think will be a breakout star in 2011?

Lawyers for four Guantanamo captives are asking a federal court in Washington, D.C., to put an end to the "grotesque" practice of forced feeding at the Pentagon prison.
Officials defend the use of forced feeding as modeled after U.S. Bureau of Prisons policy. But the lawyers argue that, unlike federal prisoners, these Guantanamo captives have never been charged with a crime and are held not for punishment but more broadly as war-on-terror detainees.
"There cannot be a legitimate penological interest in force-feeding petitioners to prolong their indefinite detention," says the 30-page filing by Oakland, Calif.-based attorney Jon B. Eisenberg and London-based lawyer Cori Crider of the human rights group Reprieve. "It facilitates the violation of a fundamental human right. The very notion of it is grotesque."
As of Monday, 44 captives were on the force-feed list, said Army Lt. Col. Samuel House, a Guantanamo spokesman. House said the military started July with a tally of 106 detainee hunger strikers.
The Pentagon has about 140 Navy doctors, nurses and corpsmen carrying out the feedings. Guards strap a captive into a restraint chair twice daily, then a medical professional snakes a tube up the captive's nose, down the back of his throat and into his stomach to pump a nutritional supplement inside.
The lawyers say the captives - Saudi Shaker Aamer, 46; Syrian Jihad Diyab, 41; and Algerians Ahmed Belbacha, 44, and Nabil Hadjarab, 33 - seek a speedy hearing on the forced-feeding policy "because of the imminent risk that it will deprive them of the ability to observe the Ramadan fast, which commences this year on July 8."
"Petitioners therefore ask this Court, at a minimum, to enjoin any force-feeding between sunup and sundown during the month of Ramadan."
In past Ramadans, the prison has said it tube-fed hunger strikers at night to allow protesters to participate in Islam's holy fasting month.
Guantanamo spokesmen would not say last week if the U.S. military medical forces would or could conduct nighttime forced feedings during Ramadan now that the hunger strike is so widespread.
The lawyers seek the injunctions from two different U.S. District Court judges, Rosemary Collyer and Gladys Kessler, because both judges have the individual detainees' habeas corpus cases on their dockets.
A likely first hurdle is whether the judges will take the case. Justice Department lawyers have successfully argued in other Guantanamo suits that civilian judges have no oversight on conditions at the Pentagon prison in Cuba, only on review of unlawful detention petitions.

Neil Marshall's "Centurion" seems to be flying by under the radar in the fanboy verse, but it's not flying under our radar. The movie has everything I love in my period action movies — Roman legionnaires, bound shirtless guys fleeing horsemen, and Olga Kurylenko all made up in paint to stab you through the heart with a spear. That's my kind of movie! Here's the latest official pic from "Centurion".
Britain, A.D. 117. Quintus Dias, the sole survivor of a Pictish raid on a Roman frontier fort, marches north with General Virilus' legendary Ninth Legion, under orders to wipe the Picts from the face of the Earth and destroy their leader, Gorlacon.
Starring Olga Kurylenko, Michael Fassbender, Dominic West, Noel Clarke, JJ Feild, Riz Ahmed. Directed by Neil Marshall.
Ridiculously over-watermarked pic via Empire. It goes without saying that this pic will be swapped as soon as we get a decent one in. Also, another pic from /Film.

Discussion in 'General Pro Player Discussion' started by @wright, Mar 30, 2004.
Which do you enjoy watching more? Tell why...It can even be the lesser of two evils...
Serena has a better game than Venus because of two shots. Her serve and her forehand. If you take a look at the 2003 Australian Open final, you can easily see the discrepancy between Venus' serve and Serena's serve, especially the second serve. Both prefer to hit backhands than forehands, but Serena's is still better than Venus'. That 2003 Australian Open match was the closest grandslam final that they ever played against each other, and the match was up for grabs at 4-4 in the third. Serena held her serve, despite a long game that went to deuce and ad many times. Than, at 4-5 down, Venus started out by hitting a double fault. She then missed the rest of her first serves in the game, and Serena just crushed all of Venus' second serves and won the game, match, and tournament at love. If Venus really wants to compete for the number one spot, she will have to improve her serve. She should take a look at Serena, and learn how to hit kick second serves. Venus' serve is a liability, where Serena's serve his a strength. Serena probably has the best second serve in the history of women's tennis.
I think Venus has a better backhand than Serena. Serena has a good one, but she shanks it alot. As far as first serve goes... Venus hits more aces and more unreturnables. Yes, Serena does have a better 2nd serve, but Venus also vollies alot better than Serena.
Venus looks awkward. Serena is the better athlete.
Venus has a *little* better taste in clothing. If we want to see any more of Serena we'll have to get ahold of her x-rays.
Serena. She's better technically than Venus for one thing. Another is her mental strength. Venus just seems more fragile. I'm not sure that Venus can compete with Henin today (as oppposed to Henin when the Williams were dominating the WTA). I have every confidence that Serena will beat Henin though and regain her No 1 ranking.
Venus, because Serena grunts louder and has a bad dress sense? Talk about an audio and visual assault :shock: Anyway, it's good that they're back. It'll be interesting to see how they'll do against the other players.
Venus is most definately the lesser of the two evils.
Separate names with a comma.

In the May 9 issue of the JT, Shari Eshet, director of NCJW's Israel Office, reported the graduation of 13 Haredi women from a program that trains them as early childhood counselors ("Today's Philanthropy Is More and More about Partnerships"). This project "originated at the NCJW's Research Institute for Innovation in Education at Hebrew University and is supported by the Hadassah Foundation."
What a breath of fresh air this is compared to the relationship between NCJW and Hadassah as far back as 1925. The groups' executives met "to discuss NCJW's participation in work in Palestine in conjunction with Hadassah." As the sources inform us, "the NCJW president made it clear 'that … Hadassah's work has no place in the program of NCJW.'"
Indeed, cooperation between organizations is vital. We live in an environment in which funds are tight, fewer people are willing to give of their time, yet the opportunities for creativity in helping our people worldwide are greater than ever.
May we always look for these chances and do our best to see that they come to pass.
Rabbi Peter H. Grumbacher
Assistant to the President
Wilmington, Del., Chapter of Hadassah

A new study released Thursday found that urban roads in poor condition throughout San Diego are costing drivers hundreds of dollars each year in vehicle repair costs and are some of the worse roads in the nation.
The findings were made by Washington, D.C.-based transportation research group TRIP which examined pavement conditions, transportation funding, and costs associated with driving in several populations throughout the nation, including San Diego.
In the study, TRIP found that 55 percent of San Diego's urban roads are in poor condition. Those roads are said to be costing motorists about $758 annually in additional vehicle operating costs such as fuel consumption, tire wear, and deterioration.
According to TRIP, San Diego has the fourth highest number of urban roads in poor condition among larger cities with a population of 500,000 and above.
San Diego was found to have the fifth highest annual vehicle operating costs to motorists due to poorly maintained roads.
"Our region's economy depends on adequate and reliable transportation systems," said Jerry Sanders, former mayor and now president and CEO of the San Diego Regional Chamber of Commerce, in a media release.
"Deteriorating roads and highways costs our workforce and businesses thousands of dollars in maintenance, repair costs and time, but also hurt our economy and job growth," Sanders added.
The research group determined that in 2011 the nationwide annual cost of driving on deteriorated roads was around $80 billion and individual motorists were paying $377 on average.
Sanders and TRIP cautioned that without additional funding from government agencies at a local, state and federal level and action from lawmakers, the problem is only going to get worse.
However, some locals who spoke with NBC 7 had a different point of view.
"I personally don't think the roads are that bad," said Shannon Singler of North Park, "I think they're actually well maintained."
Interim mayor Todd Gloria said infrastructure funding throughout San Diego has increased dramatically in recent years. He said he will bring forward a $100 million infrastructure bond this winter for consideration.
TRIP estimated that through 2032, among other funding issues, the U.S. could face a $670 billion shortfall in the amount needed to make significant improvements to roadways if the current situation continues and recent cutbacks in funding remain in place.

Yesterday, to celebrate turning 31.5 (not really), I had a throwback to 1983.
I dressed up as Alice again in order to promote the upcoming Halloween Dance at my kid's school! I already had the blue dress from my 30th birthday party, so I made an apron out of an old white pillowcase and some trim bought at M & J Trimming (my new favorite place), and some skype instruction from Carrie.
I never would have known how to cut or gather the apron, and I wouldn't have done the waistband in thirds, rather seconds…so thank you Carrie!
I sew!
I bought a cheap blond wig and some tights to go with the outfit and put my rejected wedding shoes to good use (the entire outfit I gathered for the wedding, minus shoes, that was rejected by my besties, seen in action here).
I was glad I spent a week in London because I think my accent was pretty good. Lolly wanted everyone to know she belonged to me, and I think Phoebe did too because she chose a rather costumey headband for the day. It was way fun to be Alice for a few hours….one costume down….a few more to go!

What is arformoterol inhalation (Brovana)?
Arformoterol is a bronchodilator. It works by relaxing muscles in the airways to improve breathing.
Arformoterol inhalation is used to prevent bronchoconstriction in people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), including chronic bronchitis and emphysema. Arformoterol will not treat a bronchospasm attack that has already begun.
Arformoterol may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.
What are the possible side effects of arformoterol inhalation (Brovana)?
Get emergency medical help if you have any of these signs of an allergic reaction: hives; difficulty breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.
Call your doctor at once if you have a serious side effect such as:
Less serious side effects may include:
This is not a complete list of side effects and others may occur. Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088.
What is the most important information I should know about arformoterol inhalation (Brovana)?
Do not use arformeterol inhalation to treat a bronchospasm attack that has already begun.
Call your doctor right away if you feel that this medicine is not working as well as usual, or if you think you need to use more than usual. An increased need for medication could be an early sign that your condition is getting worse.
Salmeterol, a medicine similar to arformoterol, has been shown to increase the risk of asthma-related death. It is not known whether arformoterol could cause this same effect in people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

Strained abdominal lands Roberts on DL
Strained abdominal lands Roberts on DL
Roberts received the epidural on Monday and will have to rest for at least four to five days before resuming any baseball-related activities. He also underwent an MRI, with the test's results showing no further structural damage than originally thought. While the team initially thought Roberts' two injuries were not connected, manager Dave Trembley addressed the media again early Monday evening and said that further examination shows Roberts probably irritated his back with Friday's slide into second.
"He will be out the entire 15 days, and then [it's] a good possibility it may be longer than the 15 days," Trembley said. "Because he would have to start doing some baseball activities ... and in the information that was given to me, a rehab stint is possible, and probably likely."
The back issue is what originally sidelined Roberts this spring. He suffered a herniated disk in his lower back during offseason workouts in Arizona and only had 19 at-bats before the regular season started.
Still, Roberts and the team both pronounced him to be in playing shape, and the second baseman was starting in his fourth consecutive game on Friday when he injured his abdomen while sliding into the bag in the first inning on a successful attempt to steal second. Roberts walked to open Friday's game, and the impact of the bag hitting his midsection is what is believed to have caused the muscle strain. Roberts said he immediately felt the strain, and after scoring the game's first run, he did not return.
While Trembley originally stood firm in his stance that Roberts' back and abdomen injuries were not related, it now appears that the two have intersected. Monday's epidural was Roberts' second shot to help calm the inflammation in his back. He received his first epidural on March 15 when he flew to Baltimore to see back specialist Dr. Lee Riley.
A dynamic table-setter for the top of the Orioles lineup, Roberts hit .283 with a .356 on-base percentage and a .451 slugging percentage in 159 games last season. The 32-year-old hit 16 homers with 79 RBIs and a franchise-record 56 doubles. The latter number set the all-time single-season mark for two-baggers in a season by a switch-hitter.
Infielder Justin Turner was recalled from Triple-A Norfolk to take the open spot on the roster, but the team will likely use veterans Julio Lugo and Ty Wigginton to fill Roberts' role. The Orioles acquired Lugo during the last week of Spring Training in the event Roberts' back acted up, but Trembley said the job will not be Lugo's alone.
"It won't be a tryout, but there will be some different lineups based on matchups, based on what we feel that particular guy brings for that game," Trembley said.
"Obviously it is a major loss. We are going to have to pick up the pieces and fill in as best as we can. He is very valuable to the club and the guy that sets the tone offensively. I don't think you replace it; you just try to do the best you can to fill in when he's gone."
Roberts, who was batting .143 with one double at the time of his injury, is in the first year of a lucrative four-year contract extension he signed last spring. The Orioles committed to Roberts for $10 million a year through the 2013 season, one of the largest contracts on their books. Roberts, a two-time All-Star, is 17th on the stolen-base chart for active players.

GalleyCat caught up with New Yorker fiction editor Deborah Treisman at the Festival of New French Writing, discovering that her section has seen a distinct increase in submissions since the recession began.
"Maybe because writers have been struggling or maybe because writers have more time, I've had more stories coming in now than I've seen in the last three or four years," explained Treisman in an exclusive interview. "I've had a number of stories come in directly related to the recession. It's steady. After 9-11, there were very few submissions. After the Bush elections it dried up too."
Treisman (pictured) moderated a discussion between New Yorker writer Adam Gopnik and French novelist Marie Darrieussecq. Treisman thought American writers could learn from French author's example. "Marie sat down as a student and wrote something she thought would be small. It turned out to be a bestseller, but she has a lot of dedication … It's difficult to get through failure, but in some ways, it's more difficult to cope with success."

Taiwan's China policy puts companies in limbo
Post a comment
As their competitors increase their investments in mainland China, Via Technologies Inc. and Asustek Computer Inc. remain on the sidelines, waiting for Taiwan's government to make its next move.
After submitting revised drafts of their applications to move ahead with investments in China, Via and Asustek can only wait until the Investment Commission meets again in several weeks and hope the government is in a more accepting mood.
Since the commission rejected applications submitted by the companies last month, Taiwan's electronics industry has been struggling to interpret the action. Widespread grumbling has been tempered by concerns that vocal criticism could offend government officials, which has created a mute opposition whose passivity may invite the kind of restrictive policies that the industry hopes to avoid, according to analysts here.
Indeed, every one of Taiwan's corporate citizens understands one basic rule: "Do not embarrass the government," said analyst Tony Tseng of Merrill Lynch Taiwan Ltd., Taipei.
While prudence reigns, a few leading electronics companies have been willing to speak up, making it clear they are concerned about how the government has handled the thorny issue of investment in China.
"This is dangerous," warned Hander Chang, a spokesman for Hsinchu's Winbond Electronics Corp., a major Taiwanese DRAM merchant market supplier that also makes memory chips for Toshiba Corp. "Taiwan's advantages in production could be eroded."
It remains to be seen whether the government's decision to block Via's and Asustek's mainland expansion plans is an anomaly or a prelude to a formal policy that could see greater restrictions placed on cross-strait investments. In denying the applications, the government said Asustek's planned $25 million investment would have brought its total spending in the mainland to more than $80 million in the last two years, which was deemed excessive. In Via's case, the Investment Commission cited allegations the company had improperly used capital that was approved for marketing purposes to build commercial properties in China.
Officially, the government maintains it wants to loosen restrictions, though the growing number of companies interested in outsourcing to China would argue otherwise. "We don't know what direction the government wants the electronics industry to go," Chang said.
Whether a formal policy is drafted, and regardless of what form it takes, there is a consensus within the industry that China is vital for future growth.
"China has obvious advantages in terms of its labor force, consumer market, and engineering resources," Merrill Lynch's Tseng said.
Henry Wang, a spokesman for computer maker Acer Inc., agreed that Taiwan's renown as a low-cost manufacturing center is being diluted by China's growing electronics industry. China's wages are about one-fifth those of Taiwan, according to Nomura Securities, Taipei, although manufacturing savings are harder to quantify.
"You can't be competitive if you manufacture PC and information technology products in Taiwan. We think the government should ease the restrictions right away," Wang said, warning of the possibility that "in the long term, the government's policy will undermine the competitiveness of Taiwan's electronics industry."
Even those who hold reservations about operating in China accept its necessity. An executive at Quanta Computer Inc. said he harbors a personal preference for Taiwan's labor pool.
Still, Quanta knows which way the wind is blowing. "Our customers asked us to go there because it's close to where the market is," the executive said. Quanta, the world's largest notebook PC supplier in terms of shipments, late last month opened a motherboard plant near Shanghai capable of producing 60,000 units a month. The company's monthly output in Taiwan is 400,000 pieces.
The Shanghai plant is an example of the legerdemain to which Taiwan companies will resort to get around government restrictions. While Quanta claims its factory is a motherboard plant, last week a company executive on the mainland confirmed it's also intended for laptop production, an industry the Taiwan government prohibits from being exported to China.
In fact, a number of industry leaders believe it will not be a question of whether the government will prevent companies from doing business in China, but whether business will be conducted openly or under the table.
"If the government wants to control its businessmen, it may very well not work out. They will find a way to survive," the Quanta executive said.

Beretta 687 Silver Pigeon lI Sporting 20 Gauge
The Beretta 687 Silver Pigeon II Sporting is a traditionally styled and typically proportioned sub-gauge. Trim in stock, wrist, receiver, and fore-end, the gun is a symmetrically shrunken version of the 12 gauge.
Our guns buttstock was a well-grained piece of wood oiled to a dull sheen. We didnt mind this, but think a higher polish or even a light lacquer finish would have better brought out the wood figure. We found the wrist long and sleek, angling gently back from the trigger guard and allowing ample room for larger hands. It did not sport a palm swell. Minimal checkering appeared on both sides and was classically done, neither sharply pronounced nor dull, and was cleanly executed with no runover at the points or corner. The buttstock was slightly cast off, best for right-hand shooters, but it was so slight that a couple of left-handed shooters who tried the gun didnt notice.
The Silver Pigeon came with two buttpads, both soft rubber and rounded at the toe and heel to prevent catching on clothing. The installed pad was a slim 0.375 inch at its narrowest middle point, while the extra pad was wider by another 0.25 inch. We liked that Beretta provided two pads of differing lengths to accommodate different LOPs.
The inletting where the stock met the receiver showed the wood edge minimally exposed at the metal, and it was completely finishedquality on par with a Beretta Teknys we recently tested that exhibited a marked improvement in fit and finish.
The receivers metalwork was well done, too. Pretty without being ostentatious, the gun sported two different bas-relief gamebird portraits. On the right were hen and rooster pheasants; on the left were two flying woodcocksnot at all badly executed for machined engraving.
The remainder of the receivers metal, including the fences, hinge-pin screws, and lever head, was covered in delicate, traditional rose scroll-type engraving. This, too, was well done, with symmetrical coverage all around. The only "flaw" we could find was the inset screw in the trigger housing tang was slightly out of line with its parent screw.
The combination barrel selector/safety on the Beretta Silver Pigeon II held no surprises. We pushed the safety up for fire and down for safe (revealing an engraved "S"). We pushed the inset barrel selector left to fire the bottom barrel first (showing one red dot) and to the right to shoot the top tube first (revealing two red dots). Both required positive, firm pushes to engage, just what we want in such a feature.
We found the trigger guard provided ample room, both top and bottom and from the trigger itself to the front of the guard, for any finger size. We also found the single selective trigger to be crisp, if a tad heavy, pulling an average 5.25 pounds on the top barrel and 5.5 on the bottom.
The fore-end and barrels proportionally followed the clean, classic lines of the buttstock, right down to the cleanly executed checkering patterning. The Schnabel fore-end featured a slight swell at the belly that could have been longer to assist longer-armed shooters, but none of our test shooters had any complaints about it. Finally, though the fore-end latch was proportionally sized down, we found it easy to engage/disengage, a pleasure compared to several other sub-gauge over/unders weve tested in the past.
Of the barrels, we liked that they were solidly seamed between each other, adding weight forward to a lightweight gun. We also liked the wide rib that provided a nice sighting plane on this small-frame gun. We also appreciated jeweling under its topside cuts, which reduced glare.
We do wish this gun came with 32-inch barrels, but beyond that, the only things we could complain about were the beads and the choke tubes. The 20-gauge Silver Pigeon II Sporting has a silver mid-rib bead and a prominent white front bead. Choke tubes supplied in Cylinder, Skeet, Improved, Improved Modified, and Modified were flush-mount, but we prefer extended tubes. We also think a Full choke should have been included on a sub-gauge.
We found fault with the bead not because it was inadequate, but because other Berettas dedicated to competition come with fiber-optic sight pinsas should this one.
The performance we received from the Silver Pigeon was nimble, fast, responsive to a wide range of targets, and light on the recoil and muzzle rise. It took on close-in targets with zeal, and a slight opening of the hand on the fore-end permitted an adequate address on longer targets where the gun might otherwise have been whippy. Note that this was not a gun to be pushed around. An overtight grip and an aggressive swing, especially on longer presentations, led to over lead. Those shooters in control of their leads and target approach found themselves making the breaks much sooner than with the other guns in the test.
Perhaps the greatest testament to this guns speed was that all our test shooters came off the sporting clays course liking the gun for that sport, but wanting to head directly for the skeet field. And, indeed, this gun excelled beyond the others at the more regimented sport.
Elsewhere, we experienced no mechanical failures with this gun. Both barrels fired reliably regardless of firing order, and the safety, barrel selector, and ejectors worked flawlessly.

Fury - Hands-On @ IGN
by Dhruin, 2006-11-03 21:13:01
IGN continues their flurry of MMOG features with a hands-on preview of Fury:
It's a simple enough concept - a better version of Battlegrounds with the speed of Counter-Strike and the ethics of Guild Wars. However, diving deeper during IGN's exclusive hands-on with the latest build shows that the underlying gameplay is deceptively deep.
There are no class systems in Fury - instead, as Lead Game Designer Adam Carpenter explained, the world and inhabitants of Fury are ruled by 4 underlying 'schools' - Life, Death, Growth and Decay. In basic terms, these are the Heaven, Hell and middle-worlds of the game, and players can choose to align themselves with as few or as many of these schools as they please, as each region battles for superiority.

WASHINGTON – Jason O'Bannon, a former Kentucky State Trooper assigned to the London Post, was sentenced today in federal court in Lexington, Ky., to 10 months imprisonment for tampering with a witness and for violating the civil rights of a female victim. After his release from prison, O'Bannon will be on federal supervised release for two years.
O'Bannon worked as a Kentucky State Trooper from 1996 to 2007. On Aug. 17, 2007, O'Bannon pled guilty to a two-count criminal information, charging him with one felony count of witness tampering and one misdemeanor count of violating the civil rights of a female victim. Specifically, O'Bannon admitted that he attempted to coerce the female victim, who worked for the Kentucky State Police as an undercover drug informant, into performing a sexual act in exchange for O'Bannon reducing or dropping the criminal charges that she faced. O'Bannon also admitted that he asked a fellow trooper to lie to a federal grand jury that was investigating O'Bannon for civil rights violations.
"This defendant violated the public's trust by abusing his law enforcement authority and then asking a fellow police officer to lie to a federal grand jury to cover up his criminal conduct," said Grace Chung Becker, Acting Assistant Attorney General for the Civil Rights Division of the U.S. Department of Justice. "This prosecution demonstrates that the Justice Department is committed to aggressively pursuing law enforcement officials who willfully abuse the law."
"O'Bannon not only betrayed the trust of the community, but also of all those proud officers who came before him and made the Kentucky State Police one of the model police agencies in the nation," said James A. Zerhusen, Acting U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Kentucky. "Our office will continue to prosecute those who take advantage of the confidence placed in them and hold them accountable for their actions."
The Civil Rights Division is committed to the aggressive enforcement of the nation's civil rights laws. In the past seven years of this Administration, the Division has convicted over 50 percent more defendants for color of law or official misconduct violations than in the previous seven years. The Division continues to set records in the enforcement of criminal civil rights laws. Last year, the Division convicted 189 defendants for civil rights violations, which is a record number in the 50-year history of the Division. Last year's record broke the record set in 2006.
This case was investigated by Special Agent Steven Wight of the Louisville Division of the Federal Bureau of Investigation and Lieutenant Vic Brown of the Kentucky State Police. Assistant U.S. Attorney Kevin Dicken from the U.S. Attorney's Office in Lexington and Trial Attorneys Gerard Hogan and Evan Rikhye from the Civil Rights Division prosecuted the case.

Review: SnapBill Online Billing System
2 May, 2010 at 2:49 pm Quintin 42 comments
Near the end of 2009 I looked into starting a g33q store. I did marketing research, compiled a business plan, built an e-store (still living on one of my pc's at home) and got everything ready to start a small online business. Then I got to the how of actually selling my stuff and things ground to a halt.
Depressingly so.
You see, to have an online business you need to be able to accept payments, and this is where I ran into difficulties. Now a new billing system is giving me ideas of trying again. Read more for my take on SnapBill, the most exciting thing to happen to e-commerce in South Africa in recent years.

Apple Would Make Safer Cars Than Volvo or Google, Say Consumers
Today's cars have advanced crash prevention breaking, intelligent heads up displays and pre-crash alerts, but customers still think the tech companies Apple and Google can do a better job, according to a survey by CarSafetyRules.com. The study asked 1,000 new car owners in the UK which brand would be most likely to develop technologies to best improve road safety. Apple took the lead, with 21 percent of the vote, with Google ranking a close second at 19.8 percent. Both beat Volvo, a brand widely known for high safety standards, which garnered 19.7 percent of user confidence.
Apple's victory is somewhat surprising, given both Google's and Volvo's successful forays into self-driving cars. Alternately, Apple has not made any formal announcements regarding plans for a full fledged car. The Cupertino-based company has only been publicly focused on improving safety features relating to Siri's driver's assistant features, which improves driver safety but doesn't yet match either Google's or Volvo's progress.
Still, it's no secret that the late Apple CEO Steve Jobs had his sights on the automotive industry and multiple board members have admitted to discussion of an Apple vehicle, although no firm plans have been confirmed. These comments, coupled with Apple's commitment to quality products, may have contributed to Apple's car safety reputation.
MORE: Apple Doesn't Need an iCar to Rule the Road
"Consumers expect future cars to be more intelligent and to offer more electornics support to improve safety," said Tristan Honeywill, Editor of CarSafetyRules.com. "But they mainly see brands like Google and Apple delivering these types of advances."

Tips On How To Take Better Photos
Photography is an artistic hobby that has become much more popular recently. While lots of people enjoy the idea of photography, everyone has to start somewhere. Read this article to get some tips that will get you started. Get closer to the subject for a better shot. Getting closer lets you frame a subject, and stops the background from ruining your shot. A camera will be required if you intend to take professional photos. A dSLR camera will give your photographs a great option for taking high-quality shots. This is the best equipment on the market, and if you are aiming to achieve high-quality photos like theirs, you need this camera. Framing is very important factor when it comes to photography. Zoom in on your subject and cut out extraneous objects from the background.This can help eliminate any unnecessary focal points and keep clutter in your pictures. Pack your equipment with care when you are getting ready for a trip carefully. Don't forget to keep in mind any limitations you have regarding space, and think about what you can carry for your trip. Always keep charged battery before any special event or when you are planning on using the camera. Digital cameras usually use quite a bit of battery power, particularly when you use the LCD screen; therefore, so always make sure your battery is fully charged before using the camera. You will want to carry spare batteries with to be prepared for any shot. Take shots of people wherever you go. Always ask for their permission first. When traveling, seeing these pictures can remind you of the memories involved, even if the people you photographed do not look like they would stand out from a crowd at the moment when you take your picture. Try to get a candid facial expression. You are permitted to move your subject to find an interesting shot. Composition is an important skill you have to learn about and educate themselves on. Like other art forms, if you do not have good composition, it is not good! Learn composition and that less is much more when it comes to your photos. Simplicity can translate into elegance, and mastering the ability to know when can transcend your photos to a new level. Another interesting look is to ask the subject focus on someone or something within the frame. Use the manual white balance for taking your photos. It takes some practice to get things right, but learning to use this useful tool will allow you to be more creative with your pictures. Take a lot of experimental photographs when you are adjusting to new subjects or backdrops. Every photographic opportunity is different, and snapping practice shots can help you to achieve a perfect finial photograph. Try taking practice pictures at different times of the day to get a different lighting. The higher the ISO...Read More »

Episode #378 of Six Pixels of Separation - The Twist Image Podcast is now live and ready for you to listen to.
Where does creativity come from? It's a big question. Tomes have been written about it. Few understand the creative process better than Todd Henry. He is the founder of a group called The Accidental Creative (which also happens to be the title of self-titled debut business book back in 2011). Most recently, he released his second book. It is, without question, one of the best book titles on creativity that I have ever come across. It is called, Die Empty - Unleash Your Best Work Every Day, and the excellent content within the book lives up to the title. Too many people confuse "art" with "creativity," and Todd has an incredible knack for explaining how creativity needs to permeate everything that we do in our work.

This i my first tab
*CAPO 1st fret
Six foot six, he stood on the ground
Weighed two hundred and thirty five pounds
(Dm) (G) (C)
But I saw that giant of a man brought down to his knees by love.
He was the kinda man that would gamble on luck
look you in the eye, and never back up
but I saw him crying like a little whipped pup, because of love.
Can't see it with your eyes, hold it in your hand
(Em) (Am)
but like the wind that cover our land
(F) (Dm) (G)
strong enough to rule the heart of any man, this thing called love.
It can lift you up, it can let you down
(Em) (Am)
take your world, and turn it all around
Ever since time nothing's ever been found, stronger than love.
Most me are like me, they struggle in doubt
they trouble their mind day in and day out,
too busy with living to worry about, a word called love.
But when I see a Mother's tenderness,
as she holds her young close to her breast
Then I thank God that this world's been blessed, by a word called love.

Lineside photographic passes
Please note that applications for 2017 photo passes are now closed. 2018 photo passes can be applied for from late Nov 2017. Details will be available on this page nearer the time.
If you are a photographer, aged 18 or over, you are welcome to take photographs from the lineside provided that you hold a current annual lineside photography pass. The GWSR regrets that, for reasons of safety management, we do not issue day passes and, for similar reasons, we are also changing the procedure for issuing annual photography passes for 2017. Details are outlined below.
Annual lineside passes are valid from date of issue until 31st January of the following year and cost £75 for non-members and £50 for members of the GWR Trust. Passes can be applied for in advance of the start of the year concerned, up until February 28thof that year.
You will notice that it is cheaper to become a member of the GWR Trust and buy a member's pass. Membership also brings other benefits, such as one free journey per year, the Railway's magazine and the ability to volunteer if you so wish.
For details of GWR Trust membership please click here.
In order to obtain a lineside photography pass you initially need to download and complete an application form. On that form you must select one from a number of dates, on which you will be available to attend the railway for a safety briefing. At this briefing you will be given training in Personal Track Safety (PTS), instruction on where you may and may not photograph and other safety rules for lineside photography. Once you have successfully completed this briefing you will be presented with and sign for:
- an instruction sheet detailing where you may or may not photograph on the Railway,
- a list of rules for lineside photography,
- a copy of the Railway's PTS (Personal Track Safety) booklet
- a photography pass card,
- an orange high visibility tabard (printed with the words 'GWSR Photographer' and the year for which it is valid).

A Long Island man pummeled a friend to death and hid the corpse in a neighboring backyard, cops said.
"I'm sorry for what I did! I'm extremely sorry!" Edward Brown, 46, yelled to the media yesterday after being arraigned in a Nassau County court for the murder of Nunzio Izzo, 56, at Brown's Glen Cove home.
Brown, who was ordered held without bail, repeatedly struck Izzo about the head and face on Dec. 17, a criminal complaint charges.
Izzo's family reported him missing, and the body was found Thursday beneath a container and a tarp in a back yard near Brown's property.
Cops declined to say what sparked the fatal argument.

"Service received at AYR Hospital X Ray Department"
About: Ayr Hospital Ayr Hospital Ayr KA6 6DX
Posted by Harry Potter (as ),
I wish to convey my extreme gratitude to the members of the radiography departments of Nuclear Medicine and MRI who looked after me when I received my scans re prostrate cancer investigation.
I did not look upon either scan with enjoyment and was particularly concerned re the MRI as I had a previous unpleasant experience some years ago.
The staff in both departments were obviously incredibly skilled not only in their own field but also in customer service. I was attended to with care and compassion making me feel relaxed and comfortable with both procedures.
It is only to easy to complain particularly in this day and age but hardly ever do we praise.
Would you be kind enough to pass onto both departments my thanks for the kindness and courtesy I received. I apologise I do not have the relevant names but I am sure the ladies concerned will be aware who they are.
Response from NHS Ayrshire and Arran 5 years ago
Thank you so much for telling us about your experience.
We aim to treat all patients with dignity and as individuals and to provide an excellent service. Our staff are very grateful when patients comment positively on the experiences of their care, so you can be assured that your positive feedback will help to encourage and motivate everyone who works within the departments you have mentioned.
Thank you once again for sharing your experience.

University of Alabama, Birmingham
Grant #: T32 HL105349
Program Director: David B. Allison, firstname.lastname@example.com
Trainees Supported: 8 Predoctoral
Areas of Emphasis: biomedical; behavioral/social; quantitative/theoretical disciplines to pre PhD students in CVD, pulmonary and blood outcomes of obesity
Program Summary:
Obesity is a major source of morbidity and mortality and of heart, lung, and blood related morbidity and mortality in particular. This interdisciplinary predoctoral training program offers coordinated mentorship, didactic training, career development activities, and supervised research experiences to prepare PhD students for careers as independent investigators. The predoctoral program will build on the momentum of a highly successful pilot implementation and will also complement and interface with our existing NIH-funded T32 program for postdoctoral training in obesity research. Students entering their 2nd year of PhD training will enroll in a formal integrated program tailored to individual interests. Trainees participate in the investigative programs of UAB's NIH-funded Nutrition Obesity Research Center, one of only 12 such centers nation-wide. Each trainee will have an individual mentoring team consisting of a primary mentor and two co-mentors with one mentor from each of three major disciplinary domains (Biomedical; Behavioral/Social; Quantitative/Physical). The faculty's multidisciplinary nature (physicists, physicians, psychologists, statisticians, physiologists, geneticists, epidemiologists, etc) and strong collaborative ties facilitates multidisciplinary training. Students from any UAB department may apply, but must have a mentoring team from this program's approved faculty, if selected, participate in all activities and coursework specialized for this program. Individuals will be recruited from the large pool of eligible 1st year PhD students on campus and selected via formal application and committee review, based on graduate school performance, faculty recommendations, and consideration of the degree to which their interests fit with those of the faculty and ongoing research programs. All trainees must have as a future plan an investigative career in obesity-related research. The program promotes an approach to investigation that is scientifically and ethically rigorous. Regular reviews of individual trainees with the program directors insure that adequate progress toward an independent research career is made.

Visit to library always a real delight, even in digital age
Readers often inquire about the Belfast Telegraph archives and what they contain. Pretty much all human life is in there, I usually say.
But, in truth, seen in purely visual terms, the physical archive isn't much to look at.
Zillions of newspaper clippings, many yellowing, contained in brown paper files stacked row upon row in shelves a couple of metres high.
There are lines and lines of them and, indeed, only a few people have expert knowledge of where to find material.
There is, of course, the required fire sprinkler system in the library, so many of the shelves are protected by plastic curtains that can be folded back for ease of use.
In theory the files are organised along a precise system, and that still holds true enough. But the vagaries of changes in personnel and library practices down through the years – not to mention the personal filing choices of some fairly colourful newspaper characters – has meant a certain, well, individuality to some of the categorisation.
As with the clippings, a vast collection of photographs, some pre-war and yellowing, some retaining all their full colour and glory, can be found in featureless brown files. Some of the most vivid images of Northern Ireland events of the 20th century are filed this way.
What it doesn't contain is old photographs dating back to the days of glass photographic plates, including images of the Titanic. The plates were incredibly bulky and tricky to store and were sent on permanent loan to local museums.
Some were printed up and displayed for generations of museum-goers. The digital legacy of this can still be seen, for example at the 'Belfast Telegraph Collection' on the National Museums of Northern Ireland's website – www.nmni.com.
So the really old stuff is no longer in the Belfast Telegraph building, but the current library does contain tens of thousands of images of everything from after the glass plate era: quaint 1920s town centres, fashionable couples on Edwardian seafronts, the Belfast Blitz, long-haired 1960s pop stars and, of course, a long and bloody collection of Troubles photographs.
From the early-1990s, when the Belfast Telegraph became the first newspaper in Ireland to install an ultra-modern picture desk, everything is in digital form. About a decade after that a modern digital content management and archive system was installed and so every story, photo, page and edition published in the past 15 years or so has been digitally stored.
Reporters and editors – and others requesting access – can inspect the modern archive with a few keyboard strokes and call up each and every published story and image.
In practice, due to some technical errors back in the Noughties, there are some gaps. But, generally, the digital archive is very complete. What is required is the digitisation of the entire physical cuttings and photographic archive, dating back to the early-20th century. This would yield a treasure trove of social, political and family history and would be an invaluable resource for the people of Northern Ireland.
In the old days the librarians didn't just 'clip' the Telegraph, but all the local papers and also articles about Northern Ireland carried in the UK nationals.
Alas, it would also be ruinously expensive to scan and catalogue the hundreds of thousands of clippings in the "morgue" (as reporters used to refer to the library). It may be feasible at some stage to digitise existing microfilm and also the rest of the picture collection, which has been partly digitised.
Such a project – which could be applied to any local newspaper library – would be less intimidating in scope and scale than digitising all the clippings, but it would at least be achievable and would preserve its priceless contents for posterity.
