text: Nitin is the co-founder of No.19 with label partner Jonny White of Art Department. Together they are a rare breed of talent imprinted in the underground Toronto scene, hunting for and creating new music with an authentic take on house, techno and electro sounds whilst championing live music projects. Next Saturday, No.19 will be restlessly making the trip from their North American shores to showcase their wares for the first time bringing Art Department, Tone Of Arc (LIVE) and Nitin himself into our heady late night dancefloor territory. We asked Nitin to give us his upfront and personal profile on the label and deliver us a promo mix that manifests the message of his music style and No.19 and to give you a taste of what to expect when he lands in the booth next weekend. It's a smoking mix that's been doing the office rounds since it landed in our inbox yesterday and you can download it below. DOWNLOAD: Nitin fabric Promo Mix How did No.19 start? No.19 was born in 2008 and was the brainchild of Jonny White. The idea was simple - for ourselves and our crew to have a platform to release house and techno that was a bit left of centre. Focusing on the idea of "Freedom Of Expression" which is the 19 Amendment in the Human RIghts Charter. When he told me about it I thought it was a great concept. We had already been working together throwing parties and DJing for a few years at this point and this seemed like a natural progression for us to move forward together with this project. We pooled our resources and started releasing music. The early releases were comprised of us and our crew with higher profile remixers. How has No.19 grown in its music outlook since it started? We were mainly focused on house, techno and electro sounds early on from our core group of artists. We are shifting gears as of late to include music with a bit of an organic, live feel to it. Also this past year we had releases on No19 with newer artists that are on the rise. Guys like MIguel Puente and Louie Fresco from Mexico and debut releases from artists who were releasing under new monikers like Cameo Culture (formerly Soho808) and Tone Of Arc (formerly Deal Seal). As the label has grown, we've been in a better position to put out releases from some newer artists. Who are the artists involved? We've worked with so many artists over the years but I would say the core artists at this point and time are: Art Department Deniz Kurtel Tone Of Arc Teeloo Louie Fresco, Cameo Culture Clayton Steele & myself What are some of your favourite releases on the label? One of my favourite releases on the label would have to be Kenny Glasgow's album. The first album we ever released on the label and Kenny's first musical offering in years. Another would be my debut on the label and this came with a Yoruba Soul Remix which is still something I play in my sets from time to time. And finally I would say the debut release on the label. Jonny's "Rain Song". Another one that is still in the mix. What's coming up next on the label? Right now we have Ali Loves release "The Jungle/Playa" which is out now with Seb Brigante's vinyl only mix. Following this is Tone Of Arc's next 12". It's a cover of the Q Lazzarus song "Goodbye Horses". The B Side is a song called Sound Sail which is one of my personal favourites from Tone Of Arc. This has an amazing remix from Deniz Kurtel. We'll be ending off the year with something very special from Art Department. We are very excited about this one to say the least.

Who is Google appealing to with these product releases?
As a shareholder do you want investment in these types of solutions at present?
Or is this simply the future through the dollars and eyes of one of our great visionary companies?
People wanting to find local services (there are pubs, garages etc shown where I stay). Local Services could pay to get listed. Local search seems to be one of the aims of Google just now - bringing the smaller local companies/services who perhaps don't use the web or don't appeal to a country wide market into the picture. People often want to know about local services in their area. If Google offers it then people (worldwide) will use Google.
Auto route systems for car journeys. In the future you may be able to pick a starting and ending desintation with google showing available flights (with links to the airline = affiliate revenue) and hotels in the area.
If detecting that you're travelling to a tourist attraction it could offer to sell you tickets.
Google probably doesn't fully know where this technology could go / could be used.
If I was a shareholder of Google I would be quite happy. Google knows that other companies will show inovation and move in on Googles market. Instead of sitting back and waiting for competitors to emerge (having to react to things) Google has became is own worst competitor! By that I mean that someone at Google says "If I was Google's compeititor what technology could I develop to threaten Google / take its thunder". Then it goes and builds that technology for itself.
I can't figure out the practical use. Maybe in an offline-only version they could take the desktop Mappoint software on (which I find extremely useful and keep with me everywhere), but I can't imagine that revenue source is that great for Microsoft.
That said, they do have some interesting case studies on their site for practical applications of Earth in commercial enviornments. Time will tell.
In my office I am busy marking local real estate listings and attaching associated links and general information. I plan to add the marked map to my websites/blogs!
This is the "coolest" tool I have ever seen!
I realize it has a certain novelty appeal, but it seems pretty slow in getting from an area view down to a usable resolution.
We were thinking about using it and tested some scenarios. Our "search" took 2-5 minutes.

I'm craving for tong sui !!!!! bf knew it and he suggested to bring me to a dessert restaurant on Friday night. So, we stopped by A little dim sum place at SS2.
|Black Sesame Rice Ball in ginger soup - RM3.30
|Longan with lotus seed - RM5.00
|Sunshine Bun (流沙包) - RM3.50
This is a MUST order bun. Inside the bun was hot molten egg, it taste really yummy!!! Most importantly, they served it while the bun is hot. *thumb up*
|Scallop Treasure - RM5.00
Inspired by a Cantonese soup, double boil turnip topped with a fresh scallop.
Overall, their foods and dessert were really yummy and great. But their service was really slow, you have to wait for at least 5-10 minutes for the foods. Anyway, all the foods and tong sui was served it while it is hot. I think this is the reason why their service was slow. Their dim sum is worth to try it since the price is quite reasonable too.
We got this discount voucher after paid for the bill. This discount voucher is valid on their new premises. They're moving out from SS2 and will start their business on 18th August at Desa Sri Hartamas.

It clearly explains why there is a discrepancy between their conclusion and that of the barnum polls you mention.
These sociologists define "religious" as someone who is ACTIVE as defined by certain criteria. For ACTIVE believers there is a significantly lower divorce rate whereas those that simply IDENTIFY themselves as religious without meeting the criteria to consider them ACTIVE had little to no difference from the general divorce rate.
This is a distinction that doesn't appear in the barnum polls. Therefore the discrepancy in the conclusions.
This how science works. You refine your research methods and criteria to get more specific data and more accurate conclusions.

My Dad passed away on Oct. 31, 2005 at the age of 97. I have lived and worked on our family farm north of Donnelly by the Kongsvinger Lutheran church all my life. I graduated from Morris High School in 1973 then farmed with my Dad for several years before we began renting out our cropland. We continued to raise cattle until the fall of 2001 when we sold them due in part to Dad's age and health. I also did some part time work for area farmers for about 20 years until taking care of my Dad became my full time job. For the past several years I have been semi-retired deciding to take some time off just to enjoy life for a while.

On March 30, we enjoyed a potluck dinner at Kongsvinger followed by several games of "Family Feud". Special thanks to Sandy Dunn, Muriel Cardwell; Sue Erdahl-Nelson, the fellowship committee and anyone else who helped out to make for a very enjoyable afternoon.
I spent March 18-27 in Bluffton, S.C. visiting my cousin Billy and his wife Pat and sister Elnora. It was a nice trip but I am glad to be home again especially after getting stranded in Atlanta for over six hours due to Delta grounding a bunch of planes for inspection. A huge thank you to my friend David Anhalt of St Cloud for giving me a ride to Morris after I missed the shuttle. Among the places we visited were Cyprus Gardens in Charleston S.C., historic Bluffton and Fort McAllister in Savanna, Ga. On Easter Sunday I had an opportunity to attend Lord of Life Lutheran Church near Bluffton. They had made and hung some 500 butterflies throughout the church, which was quite a sight to see.

Let the next round of wild, frantic and probably incorrect casting speculation begin! According to Deadline, producer Christopher Nolan and director Zack Snyder have started looking for the actor to headline the next Superman film, and the net is wide. Like, really wide. They're aiming a little older than usual, as previously rumored, but the age range is just 28-32. And they're trying to find an unknown, or at least someone who's just on TV and not quite a big star. Yes, both of these facts probably exclude Jon Hamm, so take your fan art and give it up.
With production set to start in June, though, it's unlikely they'll be able to snag any significant TV star, since shows usually go into production for fall seasons later in the summer. So who might be up for it? Deadline suggests Ian Somerhalder, of The Vampire Diaries and also Lost, or maybe True Blood's Joe Manganiello, who's been on other rumor lists in the past. You guys got any suggestions of your own?

Guest: There's no shame in being an education reformer
I want to set the record straight and encourage other education reformers like me to speak out, writes guest columnist Kimberly Lasher Mitchell.
Special to The Times
I AM a former student and current parent of children in Seattle Public Schools. During my 23-year career in education, I have worked as a public schoolteacher and principal in the U.S. and abroad. I believe public schools are the foundation of any democracy.
Regardless of the depth of my experiences or how nuanced my beliefs are, however, when I reveal that I was once a Teach for America corps member and a program officer at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, I receive a curious reaction from the Seattle community; I am immediately suspected of being an "education reformer."
Judging by the fierce debates in the recent Seattle School Board races, the term "education reform" seems to be looked upon with deep suspicion. It is disheartening to hear how polarized, angry and even anti-intellectual the debates about education reform and reformers have become. The tone of these debates is counterproductive and does not bring us together as a community to address the toughest issues we face in education.
I accept that I am an education reformer, though I feel the term has been maligned. I want to set the record straight and encourage others like me to speak out.
Contrary to what you might read, education reformers are not all wealthy philanthropists. They are not pushing a corporate agenda to dismantle public education. They do not want to turn students and teachers into test-obsessed automatons. They are not anti-teacher.
If anything, what they are is way too quiet. Education reformers have allowed a small group of people to control the debates and misrepresent their views and experiences.
What are the views of education reformers? The most important, perhaps, is that they strive to make decisions based on solid research, not conjecture. The preponderance of data clearly demonstrates that teachers are the most important school-based factor in student achievement. This is not to say that other factors do not matter — just not as much. Great teaching trumps everything else: curriculum, technology, even class size.
Education reformers agree on putting the needs of children before adults. They believe that a principal should have a say in which teachers are assigned to his or her school community. They feel schools should be able to hold on to their most talented staff regardless of seniority when layoffs occur.
Education reformers also think that teachers deserve much better. Teachers deserve exceptional training, frequent feedback and high-quality professional development. They deserve time to collaborate, plan and assess their students' learning. Education reformers believe those who work with teachers should be instructionally well-versed and use a variety of measures, including student performance, before making judgments on teacher performance (as opposed to using a test or a 20-minute observation once a year).
Thousands of teachers who identify themselves as education reformers have come together across the country to activate their voices. In Washington state, Teachers United draws upon the collective wisdom and experience of our state's public schoolteachers to inform policy, testify before the Legislature and make recommendations to school boards.
The rhetoric against education reform cites the influence of corporate-backed funding. It is true that many education reform initiatives are supported by wealthy philanthropists and foundations. However, their combined contributions are a drop in the bucket compared with what governments and unions spend. In fact, total philanthropic spending amounts to only one-third of 1 percent of total K-12 spending.
While we may disagree on the solutions, I know we as a community share a sense of urgency about how to provide a consistently excellent public school experience for every child.
Doing so, however, will require a much more robust and open-minded conversation. Seattle is known for its progressive approach to human rights, environmental stewardship and marijuana, yet it maintains a rather parochial view on education. Our region's students and their parents deserve a balanced and informed explanation by those of us who support education reform.

Steve's cat flew through the roof and into the trees, which flew down the street into the neighbor's garage, which wasn't a garage any longer. A teacher's office building disappeared, but her desk was undisturbed. People near the ocean returned to homes and reported flooding, but insurance-claims investigators found the liquid filling the living rooms to consist of freshwater. People nowhere near the ocean found saltwater fish swimming through the remnants of sturdy concrete-block houses. A piece of paper pierced a pine tree. A yacht was parked in the middle of a busy road.
On Saturday morning a couple in North Miami called family members in Homestead and announced they'd be heading south for safer environs, only to be told that South Dade was in the midst of a full evacuation. By Monday, South Dade was a mix of rubble, ruin, and refugee camps where dazed survivors slept in tents and waited in line as military personnel handed out meals. Anyone who was in South Florida during the final weekend of August, 1992, can tell a dozen true stories beyond imagination.
Now nearly twelve years have passed with nothing approaching the devastating destruction caused by Hurricane Andrew. New people have arrived, while others have forgotten the shocking freshness of that horrible natural disaster. In fact hurricane season is well under way and it's still possible to visit a Home Depot, buy some plywood, and be home in a half-hour. Dangerous stuff. Not plywood, complacency.

The City of North Miami realizes just how dangerous it is to not expect the worst, and has assembled a remarkable team of experts and advisers for a forum on disaster preparedness to help everyone get ready for the unimaginable. The North Miami Disaster Preparedness Committee and the Community Emergency Response Team are gathering a meteorologist, an emergency-management coordinator, insurance experts, and, yes, an officer from Animal Control, among others, to inform area residents. From tree trimming to fire prevention, a number of topics will be addressed during the town hall-style meeting. After all, South Florida could be spared a major hurricane again this year. Or not.

The Cougar women's cross-country team will host the BYU Autumn Classic at home Saturday. The team is racing the 5k at 10:50 a.m. at the Clarence F. Robison Track and Field Complex on campus. BYU welcomes No. 24 Weber State, the University of Portland and Idaho State.
"This is the best competition we have had in 15 years for this invitational," head coach Patrick Shane said. "We know that we have good competition, we are at home and we are motivated to show that we are a better team than we were last year."Comment on this story
After leading the team throughout the 2012 season as a freshman, some of the pressure will be off Natalie Shields this season. With matured returners and a talented recruiting class, BYU is expected to have a strong showing this weekend. Standout performances are anticipated from Rachel Stewart, Lindsey Sowards Nielson, Andrea Nelson Harrison, Maren Fassmann, Nicole Nielsen, Sarah Yingling, Angela Ellsworth and Emily Rich.
"I am really excited about this year because we are a very different team than we were a year ago," Shane said.


text: Good Morning! I am new to the site and am looking to purchase a smoker within the next couple of weeks. I have been toying around with the idea of getting a smoker with a vertical chamber at the end for cooking (i.e. lyfetyme pit). Though my main cooks in the beginning will be cooking ribs, and brisket. I would like to smoke fish as well as chicken. Does anyone in this forum own a pit with a vertical chamber at the end of their offset smoker? If so, what different ways do you utilize the space within the smoker? What cooking processes are used in the vertical chamber? are they worth purchasing? or should i stick with using a basic horizontal smoker starting out? Thank you,

WASHINGTON, Jan. 7 (UPI) -- Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan, coming off his failed vice presidential bid, says he voted for the fiscal cliff compromise because it leaves the nation "better off."
In his first high-profile vote since leaving the campaign trail as former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney's running mate and rejoining his colleagues in the House Republican caucus, Ryan said the deal made to prevent taxes from rising on millions of Americans was clearly better than the alternative.
"Will the American people be better off if this law passes relative to the alternative? In the final analysis, the answer is undoubtedly yes," he said in a statement last week.
Ryan will likely be a focus in every controversial vote in the coming years. Should he decide to seek the Republican nomination in 2016, many of the votes he takes now could prove crucial, The New York Times said Monday.
Already, he is at odds with a potential primary opponent, conservative Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, who voted against the fiscal cliff deal because he opposed raising taxes on wealthy Americans.
The other so-called "young guns" in the House, Majority Leader Eric Cantor of Virginia and Majority Whip Kevin McCarthy of California -- with whom Ryan has written a book and voted in virtual lockstep on fiscal issues over the years -- also broke with Ryan and Speaker John Boehner of Ohio to oppose the deal.
Of course, pundits note the 2016 primaries are a long way away. But the import of votes that can seem safe at the time -- such as Hillary Rodham Clinton's support of the Iraq war in 2003, which opened the door for Barack Obama in their 2008 primary campaign battle -- can change over time.
"I just don't think 2016 is going to be litigated through the lens of this one vote," said Kevin Madden, a Republican strategist and former adviser to Romney, "because in a month or two, we're going to be onto a whole new deadline fight, and there will be plenty of votes and plenty of areas where you can still build your political profile and your electoral profile where you're a viable candidate in 2016 -- the full body of work so to speak."

ordinary user can send an SSH command using root
ive been trying to find a way on how to do this.
as you see, i created a command (an ssh command with port forwarding) for other branch servers to connect to the main server. the other branches will only click on their desktop to connect to the main server with an ssh command. this user account is just an ordinary account due to autologin of the account.
the problem is, i need to port forward a privilege port (such as port 80) like "-L 80:192.168.0.0:80". and only a root user can use this port.
how will i forward a port to a privilege port without changing the privilege of the user? except for this ssh command.
If you iptables with 'owner --uid-owner' support, you can try to restrict access to the priv port other than for uid-owner 0.
how do i do that in iptables?
about giving access to other users.

Published on 01 June 2011 08:30 AM
Responding to newspaper reports this morning that the number of Welsh families gaining from inheritance windfalls is set to decline, Age Cymru's Graeme Francis, says:
"For Age Cymru, these figures demonstrate that people's expectations in Wales of being able to live comfortably in retirement, and therefore their expectations of later life in general are significantly lower than anywhere else in the UK.
"It is concerning that less people in Wales expect to be able to leave an inheritance for their children or dependants by the time they have paid for their retirement than people in other parts of the UK.
"Pensioner poverty is already a big problem in Wales, with a higher proportion of over 65s here living in poverty than in the rest of the UK.
"It is a scandal that 115,000 older people in Wales are currently living with the difficulties that poverty brings - such as being unable to afford basic essentials such as eating and heating, while the cost of living continues to rise and older people are hit hard by spending cuts.
"Some of the reasons for this are that Wales has generally had high levels of unemployment and lower average incomes than other parts of the UK over recent decades, which has made it difficult for many people to put money aside for retirement.
"Government programmes need to support and encourage people to save for their retirement and to ensure that they can maintain a reasonable level of income and afford additional expenditure such as the costs of care services many may need.
"It is vital that tackling pensioner poverty is a priority for both the UK and Welsh Governments. "

Despite its name, the code of the org.apache.uima.examples.tagger.HMMTagger
class is not totally independant from the pos tagging task.
In addition it assumes that the feature path to update with the result of the
tagging is org.apache.uima.TokenAnnotation:posTag.
We propose to let the possibility to users to specify by parameter the feature
path to set. This parameter is optional. If it is left free, the tagger will
work as usually using the org.apache.uima.TokenAnnotation:posTag as default value.
By the way, we propose to add three optional parameters : InputView, SentenceType and ModelFile.
Since the HMM Learner has got the possibility to specify the view to use to
train a model, we consequently decide to give the same possibility for the
tagger. By default, it works on the _InitialView. It is actually quite useful in practice!
The org.apache.uima.TokenAnnotation type is not the only annotation type which is assumed
to be present in the CAS. Actually, the HMMTagger processes tokens sentence by sentence. It uses the
org.apache.uima.SentenceAnnotation to select the tokens. The SentenceType parameter aims at
letting the users free to specify their own sentence annotation Type. The default value is
The ModelFile parameter is a concurrent way to the resource declaration way to specify a model.
Left empty, it won t be considered. Otherwise it will predomine over the resource declaration.
When specified, the multiple deployement of the tagger cannot be allowed but in practice for the user it may be easier to configure a parameter through Eclipse.
Two distincts patches will be provided, one for the class and the other for the descriptor.
Future improvement of the class might offer the possibility to create new annotations not only to update existing ones.
Future improvement of the descriptor may dissociate what it is up to the tagger and what it is relevant for the pos tagger...

I tested it and verified there is no regression when using this new version the "old way" too.
I'm going to commit it shortly.
I updated the patch, tests run correctly, now I am going to test this patch in a running system
More information about the process to build the models can be found here http://enicolashernandez.blogspot.com/2011/05/construire-des-modelisations-du-french.html
(accidentally it is in French)
By the way, what about the current submission? Would it have been better to dissociate the submission of the various generic parameters ? For example, on the one hand, the ones which handle the view, the sentence type and the feature path of the annotation to create by tagging, and on the other hand the process to manage models by parameter.
Let me know
Thanks Nicolas for the detailed explanation, looking forward to read more information on how you created the resources. In the meantime I will test the HMMTagger basic usages and the advanced training capability on top of the attached patches.
Hi Tommaso
Yes we actually used the HMMTagger to train some models. We used the French Treebank (FTB) for that http://www.llf.cnrs.fr/Gens/Abeille/French-Treebank-fr.php
We obtained French models for tagging pos, morphological information and also lemma.
And it works fine !!! (The HMM tagger for predicting lemma is probably not a judicious choice but we test it since the processing chain and the data was available). The FTB offers some secondary information we did not test yet.
From the user point of view who knows that his task can be solve by a HMM but who does not want to know how, the HMM trainer and tagger are really easy to use. For all the other cases, ClearTk is probably a better solution, but it requires development skills and takes more time to get in.
Indeed the current HMM trainer implementation uses a few features (it uses n-grams, suffix, lower/upercase text in some configurations), ClearTk offers much more configurable features.
About the resources we produced. So far, the license attached to the FTB is unclear for the distribution of the models we can train with. We are not sure to be able to release then under the Apache License. Our attempt to obtain the right from the authors of the corpus dit not come off yet.
Nearly, I will blog post the procedure to create the resources so that anyone will be able to do it themself. I used a couple of nice AEs: one to turn into CAS annotations any XML structure and one to map any annotation to another depending on some constraint declarations. The latter is already released under Apache license, the former will be quite soon.
I will also release the models with respect of the corpus license which allows use of the corpus for research purpose.
Hi Nicolas,
this is a nice improvement which gives HMMTagger a wider range of applications, did you try to train/use models for other than PoS tagging with this patch? I'd be curious to know what tests have been done and what were the results
A patch for the HMMTagger descriptor (with new parameters definition)

DEAR AMY: I hope you can help me. Months after the Sandy Hook Elementary massacre, I am still haunted by the horrific nature of that tragedy.
I've never been anywhere in New England and have no personal connection to Newtown, Conn.
I am the adoring father of two sons who are in the same age range as the Sandy Hook child victims, and I think that has made this horror even more real and severe for me. For days after the shootings, I cried every day, and I continue to cry today.
I have prayed constantly since that day for God to do the impossible by instilling peace in the victims' families. The pain of those left behind is overwhelming.
Recently I have occasionally been able to watch a snippet of related coverage or read a paragraph in an article, but prior to that I couldn't bear to see any images or read any stories about the tragedy.
I've felt so helpless all along. What can a mere human do to ease this sort of pain for other parents? I think some of this helplessness is a weird sort of guilt and also a fear for my own boys' well-being.
I'm a normally upbeat, optimistic person, but I have not reached my usual level of joy and peace since this event. I'd appreciate your guidance.
Devastated From a Distance
DEAR DEVASTATED: I find it quite understandable that you would be horrified, worried and even traumatized by the Sandy Hook attack. It is truly beyond comprehension and has shaken many of us to the core.
Even though things seem to be improving slightly for you, you sound anxious and depressed.
Events such as the 9/11 attacks and the horrific crime at Sandy Hook can trigger depression in people who have no personal connection to the event. A therapist can help you express some of your own fears, explore your anxieties, obsessions and rumination, and talk about your worries for the future.
Anytime you find that your usual temperament seems to be altered in the longer term, it is a sign that you need an evaluation and some treatment. Talking about this with a compassionate counselor will help you. Putting voice to your fears would ultimately be good for you and for your family. Once you feel better, you may be able to put your concerns and compassion to use for the greater good.
DEAR AMY: "Sad Grandma" was upset because her daughter-in-law wouldn't allow her to host the grandkids because her partner smokes.
I think it's important for people to realize that secondhand smoke and thirdhand smoke are toxic. It settles in the drapes, carpets and clothing. It can actually be harmful — not only to babies and children, but also to Grandma herself. I am allergic to cigarette smoke in any form and react immediately when I am anywhere near it.
DEAR ALLERGIC: This reality was the inspiration for my response. Thank you.
Send questions to email@example.com or Ask Amy, Chicago Tribune, TT500, 435 N. Michigan Ave., Chicago, IL 60611.

Objectives Edit
Use the dried seeds to investigate the fissures in the Stagnant Oasis.
- Test the Dried Seeds
Provided item:
Description Edit
Can what's happening to the south happen here? Judging by what you found at the Forgotten Pools, these oases may be the key. Let's perform an experiment.
Here, take these seeds I've collected from the summit here. They are dead and infertile, but carry them down to the Stagnant Oasis just below us. If there is a fissure there, then place the seeds within it... and observe. Report your findings back to Tonga at the Crossroads.
Completion Edit
Your findings are amazing! Jerrik was wise to send you there. We now know that whatever rests under these oases can create life from nothing! No doubt this is causing the havoc to the south, but my primary concern right now is preserving the balance up here.
We must study this more...

A court hearing on a disorderly conduct charge has been rescheduled for actress Reese Witherspoon, who said she's "deeply embarrassed" by what she said to a state trooper during a traffic stop in Atlanta.
Witherspoon's case was scheduled for a Monday morning hearing, but it was reset for May 22. She was arrested Friday, April 19th.
The Oscar-winning actress released a statement late Sunday apologizing for her behavior when her husband, Hollywood agent Jim Toth, was arrested and accused of driving under the influence of alcohol.
A state trooper's report says she told the trooper: "Do you know my name?" The report states she also said: "You're about to find out who I am."
The actress didn't appear in court Monday. She was in New York on Sunday night.
At a screening of her new film, Mud, just 2 days after the arrest, Witherspoon wasn't smiling much:

A few years ago, Adelfa Callejo needed to see a top-notch dermatologist.
She called an influential friend in New York, who told her she needed to go to UT Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas.
She got in quickly, and when she showed up, someone was there to personally greet her in the lobby and escort her to her appointment.
"I just thought it was somebody from the staff," said Ms. Callejo. "I didn't know it was special."
Turns out that Ms. Callejo, a high-profile Dallas lawyer who has sat on several prominent civic boards, was put on the publicly funded medical center's "special" list of patients.
The list is maintained by UT Southwestern's Special Assistance Office, and it has been described as an "A-list" of wealthy and influential folks.
But the medical center vehemently denies that it's currying favor with an elite class of patrons at the expense of other patients.
"We have indigent patients on the list," Dr. John McConnell, executive vice president for health systems at the hospital, told me yesterday.
And what happened with Ms. Callejo and many others on the 6,400-member list is "not an unusual thing," he said. "This is a common practice in major medical centers across America."
To be honest, my jaw didn't exactly hit the floor when I first read about the A-list in The Dallas Morning News.
I mean, it's hardly a surprise to me – or to many readers, I suspect – that extra privileges and courtesies are extended to those with deep pockets or good connections.
That happens in one form or another every day in America – whether someone is trying to score reservations at a four-star restaurant, get into a hot new club or make an appointment with Donald Trump.
Not everybody gets in. Everyone is not treated exactly the same.
That's just the way it is.
But what makes this quite different is that UT Southwestern is a publicly subsidized medical center.
So you can see why its so-called A-list might rub some folks the wrong way. It suggests that the center might have a preferential two-tier system of care – one for the privileged class and one for everyone else.
Not so, says Dr. McConnell, who contends rather vigorously that all patients are given the best care possible as soon as possible. And "everyone has to pay for their medical care," he said, unless they qualify for indigent care.
Ms. Callejo said she got excellent treatment. She had three cysts on the back of her head, and she'd gone to a surgeon who'd told her it would take up to six months to remove them.
"My husband was not impressed," she said. "He called a friend of his in New York."
That friend hooked them up with UT Southwestern, and the dermatologist they saw took care of her right away. "He gave me an injection, and within 48 hours, [the cysts] were gone."
And did the hospital tell her not to worry about the bill?
"No, no, no," Ms. Callejo said. "I paid it."
One reason I called Ms. Callejo is because I've known her for decades and she's long been an advocate for poor people and minorities. I couldn't imagine she'd stand for an A-list, even if her name was on it.
She wouldn't, she agreed.
"You just want the best medical care for everyone," she said, adding that she's not heard of any double standard of medical treatment at UT Southwestern. "I don't believe the doctors would slight anyone because they're poor."
Former Dallas Mayor Ron Kirk, whose name also is on the hospital's special list, said he finds the whole issue "somewhat comical."
"If you've got 6,000 VIPs," Mr. Kirk said yesterday, "by definition we're not that VIP."
Like Ms. Callejo, Mr. Kirk said he didn't know his name was on the list. He also said he frequents another hospital for medical care, but may have gone to UT Southwestern on at least one occasion when he was mayor.
One of the main problems, he said, is that hospitals are under tremendous pressure to raise funds these days because they're not getting as much money from the state as a lot of people might think.
UT Southwestern's operating budget in 2005-06, for example, was $1.27 billion, of which 11 percent came from the state and another 16 percent came from federal grants and contracts.
That's why UT Southwestern is busy courting potential donors and why its Special Assistance Office is shamelessly using its growing list to make sure no one with special needs leaves disappointed.
"They're a state-funded institution, but they're also a business," Mr. Kirk said.
Bottom line: If, as Dr. McConnell explained, the center isn't spending taxpayer funds to extend special favors to those on its A-list, most people will probably yawn.
But if we come to find out that the center is providing different levels of service based on one's social or financial status, there'll be a lot more screaming.
Rightfully so.

HIS latest album returns to his 'bread and butter', but Paul Carrack says it has a freshness about it, thanks to going off the beaten track with his last album.
The 61-year-old singer/songwriter and musician is bringing his latest album Good Feeling on tour to Glasgow's Royal Concert Hall on Wednesday, February 13.
The record follows on from the 2010 album A Different Hat which was recorded with the Philharmonic Orchestra.
"It's completely different," Paul says, "A Different Hat went off the beaten track a little bit, it was a labour of love and something I had wanted to do for a long time.
"It is recorded with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, but Good Feeling, which is the current album, is back to my bread and butter, my normal way of working and I think coming back to it now it has a freshness about it and it is because I took that hiatus."
Good Feeling lives up to its name as an upbeat album.
Paul said: "I never set out with a theme or a plan it just comes out as it is going to come out.
"As I say, coming back with this freshness and songs that work with my normal band in a live situation, I also had not a bad year, a lot of good things happened in my life.
"We had a grandson, my football team got promoted, my daughter graduated from college, there were some good things going on.
"For me it is a fairly upbeat record, I never sit down and plan any kind of concept or anything, it just comes out how it comes out."
With a career spanning four decades, Paul has written and performed countless tracks, but is probably still best known as the frontman of Ace, writing their big UK and US hit How Long?, singing lead on Squeeze's Tempted, and providing the lead vocals for Mike & The Mechanics' hit singles The Living Years and Over My Shoulder.
He's also written for The Eagles, Diana Ross and Tom Jones and has worked with legends including Roger Waters, Ringo Starr, Elton John and BB King.
He says there have been many highlights over the years.
However, he added: "I'm still waiting for my lucky break.
"I have a few trophies.
"We've been nominated for Grammy Awards and things like that, appeared on the wall live in Berlin - a quarter of a million people were there.
"A lot of ups and down, but this is my favourite time, doing what I am doing now.
"I think it is the most satisfying because it is about me, me, me.
"I'm the big cheese now in my little operation, and we play these theatres and people come and I get to sing all night."
Paul tours every year with his seven-strong band, which includes his son Jack, 24.
And as well as working on his own music, Paul is due to perform with the Eric Clapton band later this year.
The latest album is his 16th solo record and is released on his own record label Carrack UK, which he set up 13 years ago.
The near-title track Good Feelin', a song that lives up to its title if ever one did, has already become Paul's latest airplay favourite, and the album includes an irresistible collection of originals, including songs co-written with Squeeze's Chris Difford and songwriter Charlie Dore, and covers of Nick Lowe and Bruce Springsteen tracks.
Paul produced Good Feeling himself, and played most of the instruments on the album
He said: "My purpose is to enjoy what I am doing, I have had a great career, I have done a lot of different things, but it has been quite tough to survive this long, but I have survived and things are good for me in a lot of ways.
"I am more established as a solo artist and people still keep coming to see us, so my thoughts are I don't want any more pain from it, I just want to enjoy it.
"I enjoy my music, I have a great band, we are all good pals, we have a lot of fun, we have loyal fans who come to see us, so what is not to enjoy.
"Just stop worrying about it and enjoy it, that is my aim now.
"And the music has always been about basically just good vibes, good feelings and honesty.
"I don't have any political axe to grind or anything like that, it is not intellectual stuff.
"Hopefully it works on some kind of emotional level with some ups and downs but we like to send people home uplifted.
"It is soul music really, that is what it is, and I hope that people enjoy it, that is all it is meant to be - and it is the same with the concerts.
"Generally speaking people go out with a smile on their faces and feel they have felt something and experienced something and that is what it is about."
Paul has played in Glasgow many times before, including supporting The Eagles at Hampden Park
He said: "It is a great, great city.
"I think it is amazing, I think there is no where like it. It is just so alive.
"On the one had it is a bit scary, because if they are not going to dig it then you are in trouble, but usually they get beside us which is great - we don't take it for granted."
Paul Carrack will perform at the Glasgow Royal Concert Hall on Wednesday, February 13, at 7.30pm.
Tickets cost £27.50 or £37.50, for more information visit www.glasgowconcerthalls.com/

There's Paint.NET 🙂 Yes that's right, almost 100% written in MANAGED CODE. I remember using this application when it was released as version 1 on my Windows XP. Although a novel idea at that time, the performance was very sluggish. Perhaps written without optimizing the .NET code. But now, with their latest release v2.72, I can say that it's blazingly fast.
Startup time from zero and uncached, was around 1 second. The entire experience is very slick now, from opening windows, dragging selection boxes and applying Effect filters. Works fine on my Vista RC2. I'm gonna be using this more and more to edit my icons, images etc.
There's a alpha build for their new Version 3.0 that you can try, but mind the dust.

In 1199, the Abbot of St Albans obtained a Charter from King John to establish a market at Barnet. It was in this way that 'Barnet' became 'Chipping Barnet', 'Chipping' being derived from the Anglo Saxon word 'ceap' or 'cheap' - the sign of a place with a market.
The evidence for a church comes from the Manor Court records which show that a chapel was in existence in 1272, built to serve the needs of the people of the village, the market and those who passed through. We can assume that the building had been built around 1250. The first mention of a priest was in 1258, when it was noted that the 'Parson of Barnet' owned a copy of the works of the Latin poet, Ovid. At the time Chipping Barnet was chapel-of-ease to the much older parish church of St Mary the Virgin in East Barnet, built during the period 1080-1120. It was only in 1866 that the livings were separated by an Order in Council.
In the early 15th century with the town growing fast, the small church was inadequate and in the year 1415, the Abbot of St Albans granted permission to the Rector of East Barnet to enlarge the church of St John the Baptist. In about 1420, the church was rebuilt in the perpendicular style.
During the Reformation, in the year 1547 the Chantry Chapel of the Guild of the Holy Trinity was abolished. In 1552, major alterations were made in the church services, and whatever was not required for the new liturgy had to be sold. Statues were damaged or destroyed, carvings smashed, windows broken and valuables stolen. However, after the succession of Queen Mary, a Roman Catholic, the Latin Mass was once again used in the church.
Under Queen Elizabeth's reign, records show that there were three hundred communicants in Chipping Barnet. It is only from early in the 17th century that we find full records of baptisms, marriages and burials. By 1800, the Great North Road had become the major highway to the north, and Barnet provided a convenient stopping place after leaving London. In 1872, the distinguished Victorian architect William Butterfield reported on the condition of the church. The restorations he recommended were carried out in the years 1872 - 1875 and cost £15,000. The galleries were removed completely; the old churchyeard to the south was used for a new nave and tower and the old 1420 church incorporated into a double north aisle. The tomb and bones of Thomas Ravenscroft, a local benefactor who had died in 1630, were moved from the chancel of the old church to a new chapel built for the purpose. In May 1875, the church was reconsecrated by the Bishop of Rochester (in whose Diocese the parish then was) in the presence of a huge congregation.
During the mid-twentieth century, the roof at St John the Baptist was repaired, and Church House was restored. A fire in 1974 severely damaged the choir vestry, then under the tower, and threatened to destroy the whole building. It was put out just in time, and in the aftermath, ideas came forward for some of the changes which were put into effect in 1984. These included new glass doors as the main entrance under the tower, the creation of a new choir vestry and alterations to the organ.
In the final year of the twentieth century a Millenium Appeal was launched with a vision of preparing the building for the new millenium. The plan included a new lighting scheme, redecoration of the interior, new noticeboards, outside floodlighting and the employment of a church keeper who would be able to look after the building so that it could be open each day for visitors, thus making the building that has stood at the heart of Barnet for 750 years more accessible to the community it seeks to serve.
St John the Baptist is now one of the largest parish churches in the area, with a fine musical tradition and a varied pattern of worship and ministry. It is part of the Team Ministry of Chipping Barnet, which includes St Peter's Arkley, St Mark's Barnet Vale and St Stephen's Bells Hill. The church building is not a museum of the past, but a living church were people pray, worship and engage with their faith and with the joys and sorrows of their lives.

All of the above comments are valid and appreciated. I don't think anyone ever buys the AMT .45 Backup because of its high quality. Its usually been for the firepower in the smallest .45 pistol in production and hopefully a reliable shooter. It is more than convenient to carry all the same interchangeable caliber cartridges for your full size, compact, and micro weapons. The Kahr PM45 has a longer grip and magazine that sticks out when trying to conceal in a pair of blue jeans pocket or pant leg - not so with the AMT. All of the "firearm safety" warnings that used to be etched into the old slides are gone with the new production. The cover over the trigger mechanism on the right side of the gun prevents debris from entering the previously exposed parts, which is probably a good thing. The trade off is that now the two grip screws on the right need to be loosened to take off the grip and cover to gain access to the slide takedown pin which is flush, and needs to be pushed out from right to left.

Well you have obviously done your research, and come up with the best solution to fit your needs. I was in the market for a slim .45, and I went with the CW45 over a Glock 36 (not interested in pocket carry though). I had thought about an AMT as well, but I couldn't find any locally to compare. With the .45, sacrifices have to be made when handguns are being made smaller and smaller. The spotty QC steered me away from them, as did the shuffling of companies producing them.
If I were you, I'd send it back in and get it looked at. If it still has problems, I would consider whether you feel it is suitable for self defense. I would hate to make a modification, only to have them hold it over your head as a reason that it failed.

"Firepower" doesn't mean much when the gun doesn't work, the primary attribute of AMTs.
Seriously, very seriously, do yourself a big favor and throw the gun away when you get it back. Don't even waste one round.
Go out and buy a Colt New Agent or Glock 36. Don't look back.

If you look around here many claim the latter backup with the firing pin safety always had more problems than the one that does not.
That being said I found a NIB backup without the FP safety and messed with it for awhile and failed to get it anywhere close to self defense reliable.
I changed the recoil spring and smoothed out all the elements that were rough from the factory and still no-go.
Turning towards the mags I had 5 mags to play with and I noticed that the follower on the AMT mag is really floppy at the front end, I tried modifying the mags going so far as to try the follower from an ed brown mag that offers more support / stabilization and stronger mag springs. Ultimately this lead to a 4 round mag that was almost reliable. But not quite. I considered brazing a catch to the back of a wilson officers mag and seeing if that helped but I gave up.
I'd rather stuff a J frame in my pocket among other things than the AMT all things considered. I'm not mad, I went in with eyes open and learned a whole ton in the process.
Ed Brown does not build less than a commander sized 1911, he says it will not be reliable. Others do but many of the reports here of 1911's with issues come from the officer sized 1911's. Likewise many of the micro 9mm / 380 guns have issues that need to be ironed out. I am not saying AMT is bad, but I will say that any small for the caliber auto needs more attention to detail and I do not see that in the AMT.

The other option of course is a Kahr PM45 don't have the stats on hand but I think its smaller (although the grip length would seem to be very close with the same 5 round size mag) and lighter then the BU and the ammo is the same. I don't know if these pistols have the same problems as the mico .45s but mine seems to do very well if you can ride the recoil.

The design is simple. They are easy to work on. My AMT came with a factory magazine and an aftermarket magazine. The aftermarket magazine was crap, completely out of spec and simply didn't work. I tried several other aftermarket magazines with my AMT at a gun show and they were all pure crap - some wouldn't even lock up in in the magwell empty! Stick with factory AMT magazines.
Also, if you buy a used AMT make sure that no one has attempted to lighten the trigger. I've heard of people doing this because the trigger pull is quite heavy. It's heavy for a reason - the hammer spring must be stiff to create enough force to ignite the primer. This sounds like common sense, but you'd be surprised what people do.

Why "work on" a new gun at all? Unless that's your hobby,of course.
There are plenty that work right out of the box and keep working. I mentioned 2 that are sub-commander in size that work great: the Colt New Agent and the Glock 36. No work required.

That is exactly why I hope High Standard can deliver a reliable AMT .45 Backup under warranty.
Regarding an earlier comment, of course I will fire it to see if they fixed it, and it is now reliable. Why not? Until one of the Big Names takes on the design, manufacture, and quality control of a .45 semiauto in this size; they are the only game in town.

Had an original. Required a lot of polishing, new recoil spring, and a modified Wilson mag follower to get it to work properly. Sold it to a LEO for more than I had in it. Too heavy for a BUG IMHO.

I sold guns when the AMT Back Up was in its hayday. They never worked reliably ! I tried to stear my customers away form purchasing them. However, most of my customers demanded them because they were the smallest .45 acp on the market. It seems that the current procuction is no better. One TFL poster purchased one and was having a good gunsmith work it over; sadly, he never reposted the results.

Ahoy 45 Aficiando,
The following is what I wrote about the AMT BACKUP 45 in February of this year:
"After researching and hearing all the bad news about the AMT 45 BACK UP, I took a chance on a like-new condition one, on sale for $250.
Before shooting a single cartridge I disassembled (taking pics along the way to refresh my memory for re-assembly) the pistol completely. I found the internals in machined rough condition. Polished and buffed every single part...everything...very carefully. The hammer assembly is the worst, a real swine, but must be disassembled and thoroughly fluffed and buffed. This was time consuming, but when finished, the action becomes as smooth as a hot knife passing thru soft butter, with a silky, consistent, firm trigger pull. Very slick.
The owner must, in effect, re-manufacture the pistol, then keep it clean and well lubed. 100% flawless function.
Amazing how accurate these little AMT 45 BACK UPs are, 3/4" groups doable at CCW distances, and how well they handle the recoil of the 45 ACP cartridge. Mostly use for ankle carry, on occasion pocket or IWB (requires wide strong belt).
Only problem are the grip screws, they must be tightened after every range session, as they come loose. Lost one."
PS: I prefer to carry it on the ankle...its a tad too small for IWB, OWB or shoulder holster. Sometimes I carry it in a jacket pocket. Have considered picking up an XDS 45, but its larger, and the AMT is such a good shooter its kinda grown on me.
For 20 years the sea was my home, always recall the sun going down, and my trusty friend, a 1911 pistol, strapped to my side.

All great comments, and taken to heart. I'm waiting for my gun to come back from High Standard under new owner warranty. I will let you know if they delivered. It's now up to their own quality control to produce a reliable weapon for selling a firearm designed to protect the life of the owner. I suspect that will be an indication of whether or not they will join or rise above the list of bankrupt companies that have produced this smallest .45 semi-automatic pistol.
Seaman, you and I were cut from the same cloth. I also gazed for years at the ocean as an LEO back in the '70s with my Colt Govt. model at the ready, which I still have; and which I might add, also needed work for failure to eject. I believe it is possible, as you and others have so eloquently stated, to make the AMT .45 Backup a reliable, running pistol. It's obvious the quality control at AMT that was absent at the factory was taken care of in your garage. Being able to stuff a RELIABLE .45 semi-auto in a pocket is priceless. You must be a gunsmith, I can't imagine knocking out pins and completely taking down the hammer/firing pin assembly taking photos along the way without a manual for reassembly

Waiting on a AMT
45acp is my #1 choice for SD work, but waiting?
I'd rather pack around a used but operational 9X18 Makarov that was won in a Poker Game with some cheating Soviet truck drivers, as to use my inside the waist holster merely as a place holder for an 'we-got-yer-gun' UPS reciept.

Warning Shot Point well taken but my IWB holster is already occupied by my Kimber .45 Ultra Carry II Crimson Trace. I view the the AMT as strictly pocket or ankle carry BUG if reliable.

Well, it is back from High Standard, and I can't say I'm thrilled. It was returned in dirty condition with gun shot residue and copper fouling in the barrel - again. (It was originally shipped new from the factory in dry condition, no lubrication, the same way with an empty shell in the box!). I looked at the back of the gun and nothing had been done about the hammer/slide/frame misalignment (see photo). I put a clip in and tried to chamber a round and the slide jammed coming forward (see photo). The bullet had not even contacted the feed ramp, so I don't think polishing is an issue. When I manually pushed the slide forward, I could get it to chamber. I fired 6 total shots. Of those, the slide only came half way forward in chambering the 3rd round, and the last round coming out of the magazine failed to chamber at all and stovepiped (see photo). I bought a Wolf recoil spring which appears longer and stronger (see photo) as others have suggested. Any other suggestions are welcome.

Was at the WAC gun show in WA State this weekend and was surprised at the number of AMT .45 backups for sale I counted 15 and most going for an asking price of around 300. Almost picked one up but was stopped by the QC problems even with the original guns...

That misalignment is just wrong! That one needs to go back to the factory, if thats the way it came from the factory. All other problems are generally fixable.

Sulaco2 I'm not surprised. I suspect anyone that has one that doesn't work will try to "unload" it at one of these kinds of venues - especially since smaller .45s are being produced by other manufacturers. I'm coming around to the way of thinking that even buying a new gun should come with a trial period at the range, where if not satisfied, can be returned for full refund.
Skans That is how it came to me. I suspect the atrocious misalignment of the slide/firing pin/hammer/frame is the reason the firing pin was broken before I fired the first round. I think the center-of-mass of the hammer coming down to strike the left side of the firing pin, resulted in a force vector that forced the firing pin sideways to the right instead of straight down center. I also think the gouging of the hammer into the metal of the left side of the frame, results in a timing delay on slide/hammer blowback, and rechambering a new round. Also, since the top of the hammer is centered to the left of the slide on blowback, its force must be lifting the left side of the slide in relation to the right side. Maybe that is causing the misfeed resulting in the live round stovepipe seen in the photo above.

Hope you get your problems taken care of. I bought a 45 backup and it is not 100 % reliable yet. I still need to take it apart and do the fluff and buff. I do notice that its pretty reliable just after I clean it and gets worse as it gets dirty. I wish someone else made a equal gun. I looked at the pm45 before I bough the amt and it was way wider. Felt like it was 1/2 inch wider even the specs don't appear that way. I wear jeans a lot and they have the watch pocket in them. The amt will fit 3/4 of the way down into it. It makes a great little holster or you can just slide it into the pocket.
Hey I didn't do it. It was like that when I got here.

454me Can you take a photo from the back of your gun and post it? I'm curious as to whether or not I have an unusual problem with my gun's misalignment, or that it is ubiquitous throughout the AMT community. Keep in mind that 100% reliability is not one hiccup in two boxes of shells. Jeans are a big part of my CCW wardrobe - I'll have to try that, thanks!

Negative ghost rider. The smallest .45 is a derringer type pistol called the Heizer Double Tap.

Your hammer to slide allingment looks as mine did. I suspect as long as the slide does not drag on the hammer it's considered normal and a consequence of the design. With slide and grips off you can see there is not much to position the hammer any other way. Having looked at many yours does not look any worse than average.
I think the hammer position is not responsible for most or all of your observed issues.
It looks from your pictures that the rounds are nose diving-- not even hitting the feed ramp in a tip up position to flow into the chamber. Mine did that as well which is what led me to mess around with magazines, springs and followers.
Holding the mag you may note that the follower is floppy tends to deflect down at the front, I think this is an issue. In a short amount of time / space that is available in the cycle of the gun it's not getting to the critical geometry to feed.
If this is best fixed with a better follower or tweaking the feed lips I do not know. I tried both and never got to 100%. close was as a 4 round mag, very stiff mag spring and anti tilt follower.
I do know from the 1911 a ton of feed issues get solved with a better magazine. Sadly there is no Wilson mag for the amt
