Savannah has more churches per square mile than any other city I know.
Lately, it's suffering more than its normal, high-level share of violence, too.
Here's the new "Golden Rule" on the streets this week: Do unto others, but do it first. You live longer that way.
On Monday, a city where crime already has top billing lived out its own Quentin Tarantino movie: Kill Bill. And Tony, Ramone and Jamal, too.
Five separate, apparently unrelated shootings in eight hours left two people dead and six wounded. Actually, the death toll easily could have been three had 64-year-old motorist Jesse Gordon, an innocent bystander, been seated differently inside his Monte Carlo.
One minute, Gordon is waiting for a red light at Waters and Henry streets. The next minute, one of at least 17 bullets meant for someone else pierces his windshield and grazes his scalp.
And people say Baghdad is a rough place.
There, you've got Shias, Sunnis and Kurds battling for control. Here, we've got drug gangs, east Savannah and west Savannah gangs and too many young men with rage in their heads, stones in their hearts and fingers on triggers for anyone to get comfortable. Maybe the 3rd Infantry Division should be deployed closer to home.
And quick, send this memo to Michael Berkow, the newly named police chief who'll be starting in November: Bring body armor. If he's going to cruise some neighborhoods, he's going to need it.
It's an accessory that goes well with handcuffs - the cuffs that County Manager Russ Abolt, Commission Chairman Pete Liakakis and the other commissioners will slap on Berkow when he gets off the plane from Los Angeles, unless they make the countywide drug squad part of the chief's command.
It's unclear how much of the latest wave of violence can be attributed to drugs. Let's just say that until local law enforcement gets a better handle on some areas, don't get stopped at a traffic signal - unless you're wearing Kevlar.
But changing a culture that accepts violence as normal will take more than exchanging a hat for a helmet . It requires changing hearts and minds. Most thugs aren't born. They're made. And when they learn from a tender age that life is cheap, that the thug life is glorified and that respect comes mostly from a gun barrel, is anyone shocked when certain creeps come out blasting?
And it's not just blacks. Whites and Hispanics can fall into this trap. The thug life is an equal opportunity life.
Increasing police visibility and improving cooperation between beat officers and people in neighborhoods will help. It's also no secret that behind nearly every crime, there are people who know who did it and why. When more people are comfortable talking to authorities, violence will slacken - especially revenge or retaliatory shootings.
At least that's the hope.
Otherwise, look for more of the same. In Savannah, most thugs don't turn the other cheek or talk to Officer Friendly. They reload.
Over the long term, substantial changes will come when the community solves its poverty problem. No, not economic poverty, although that's a problem. I'm talking about its moral poverty - the kind that condones, and even encourages, violent behavior.
We need to lock up individual criminals to protect society. I'm not sure how you lock up a whole society.

Hello crew! I'm Vanessa Gennarelli, and I'm part of the course design crew at Peer 2 Peer University.
Here you can introduce yourself, and meet other folks interested in affecting social change. To help us get started, go ahead and say:
What issue or area of issues are important to you?Where are you?What is an organization or writer you admire?
I am starting an organization on Adult Education. This organization will give, promote and advocate adult education, to the less fortunate sections of the society. I need ideas about to get funds, and find volunteers, to start my project.
excited to talk more about this and learn from you @rizwansandhu you based in a certain city? have you worked in Adult Ed for a while?
Halloo! My name's Beth. I'm an anthropologist. I study how people develop (and use, and argue about, and change) technical systems for disaster mitigation. For the past few years, I've been focusing on the oldest public earthquake early warning system in the world: Mexico's Sistema Alerta Sísmica.
I'm working on my PhD at the University of California at Irvine, but thanks to a bunch of grants I was able to get from bigger and smaller organizations (NSF, American Institute of Physics, Society for the History of Technology, and even some institutes internal the the UC system), I've been living in Mexico City for the past year.
Doing this kind of work means I get to know some very cool groups trying to educate and innovate in earthquake safety areas, including Oakland's Earthquake Engineering Research Institute and Mexico City's Centro de Instrumentación y Registro Sísmico.
You read my longish intro, now here is a cat:
Hey-o! I'm Katie, and I coordinate the Episcopal Church's preparation and response to disasters in the US. I'm based in New York, but travel all over the place--Minot. rural Colorado and Jersey have been the last three. We're partly about getting churches ready themselves (know how to batten down the hatches, check on the old folks, etc.) but more importantly about identifying how we can best reach out to our vulnerable neighbors in the event something happens, and then once the disaster hits, actually doing that (our planning resources!). Churches have all this ready-made on-the-ground infrastructure (buildings, food pantries, AA groups...) all over the place, and we're working to make sure that it's well-used, especially in the long-term disaster response, once the exciting first few weeks have passed.
I'm interested in all the folks working to shift the conversation from conventional "preparedness" to the broader talk about resilience--like the Rockefeller foundation and others. Maybe this has been happening for a long time in the secular, academic worlds, but it's just trickling into church-land lately, and it makes a lot of sense. "Prepared" institutions aren't the ones that necessarily bounce back quickly, but healthy ones certainly do.
and pugs in helmets!
Hi everyone
I'm Bekka, I live in London, and should probably disclose right now that I work for P2PU. But I'm taking this course in a totally personal capacity.
Living in one of the most expensive cities in the world, where access to a roof over your head is not a guarantee, and where ironically, there are thousands of long-term empty homes has made me think a lot about the politicisation of housing over the last little while.
I'm interested to see what other people's perspectives are...
Hello- I'm Mary Sepulveda and I am brand new to this site. I'm currently working at a community health clinic near Portland, Oregon as part of a Medicaid Transformation Grant our state received from the federal government. My role is unique in the medical field, part social work, part community health worker, part therapist, part care coordinator, etc. In the course of any given day I work with clients (patients) who have suffered from poverty, trauma, abuse, war, and oppression. While the primary care providers work to control high blood pressure or manage diabetes, I work with clients to connect them to mental health services, to assist them in navigating the medical and social service systems, to listen to and witness their stories, and to help them build social supports. I work in the clinic, at local emergency departments, at client's homes, and out in the community. It is truly "boots on the ground" work and I love it.
I truly admire Care Oregon, one of the Medicaid insurers in Oregon. Pat Currin is the CEO and is probably one of the most thoughtful and passionate writers I know. He leads this organization with care and compassion for the people they serve.
Hi Health Team,
Health is important to me because I see a need for community to come together to better facilitate local connections to breakdown isolation and support one another. I believe we all have a part to keep our communities healthier. Imagine if looking out for your neighbor meant she stayed out of a nursing home for longer or by chatting and taking the time to check-in with a neighborhood new mum helped reduce the sense of isolation that new Mums so often feel.
Health is all of our responsibility, not just for ourselves, but for everyone in our communities.
I am Australian, recently moving to Canada to become involved in the social innovation and entrepreneur scene that is thriving here in Toronto.
Beyond Blue is an Australian Mental Health Organisation I admire, there former CEO Jeff Kennett did a lot to raise awareness for the program - an inspiring person.
See you online!
Improving basic understanding of health and wellbeing is the ultimate goal of my professional development. I'm interested in alternative medicine, nutrition and ecomedicine. Currently I'm looking the best ways to reveal my potential and contribute to a company with the same philosophy. I'm starting a new life page in Australia: all from the beggining... From happy and enthusiastic beggining)
@mary: welcome, and thanks for doing the important work that you do in Portland.
@Bridie_Hamilton: welcome! Are you checking out the Centre for Social Innovation in Toronto? Big fans of what they are doing.
@Alina can't wait to hear more about your professional development plans.
Hey, I'm Dirk. Where I live is a hard questions, but I'm originally from South Africa! I'm writing this post from Medellin, Colombia.
I'm part of the crew at P2PU and an issue I would really like to address is making open peer learning resources more available for people that don't live on the internet.
One specific community I admired was the open source HaXe community - really friendly and helpful!
Peace, my name is Anjel. I'm passionate about making sure that every person in my community has access to basic needs such as shelter, clothing , fresh organic food, quality and diverse education, creative generative spaces, the time and freedom to express, access to arts, a supportive community and a job, business or trade of their own. Like many, I believe that art, especially Hip Hop arts, has the power to promote and bring about real social change. I'm about helping people use art to get to know themselves and building trust within their own communities. I'm equally passionate about using art/music to learn and share "Ourstory", (true African American history) and working with my community to bridge gaps between races, generations, genders, religious groups, neighborhoods, etc..I'm from Rhode Island and an organization that I admire is Geoffrey Canada's Harlem Children's Zone. Also LOVE the Guerrilla Gardner Ron Finley. Thanks for reading. I'm super honored to be apart of this course and look forward to building with everyone involved.
Hello- My name is Lisa and I am currently working at a public charter high school in Providence RI. I enjoy working with students who are planning out their college or other opportunity after high school. I am interested in social justice issues. I am especially interested in social justice through education. I currently feel as though the educational systems available to the majority is completely out of touch with the needs of the people. I feel as though the public educational system is so broken that it is beyond repair and needs a complete overhaul. I admire the Big Picture educational organization because it is trying to work within they system to create change, but for me personally I am in a bigger rush for more dramatic change.I admire Bill Moyers as a journalist and human being who does his best to inform and advise through his writings and programs on PBS. I am looking forward to hearing more about what is happening with educational choice in other parts of the country and world.
@vanessa Hi Vanessa, I would love to share my google doc link on the Health team page - but I can't find the Health page? Could you please direct me or shoot me the link?Much appreciated! B - sorry, slowly learning my way around the P2PU platform.
Not a problem, @Bridie_Hamilton: the feedback we got was that the teams were difficult to post to, so we pulled everyone together to meet at first and we'll re-group into our teams in a bit. Can't wait to see your doc!
Hey @vanessa
So In full disclosure to all-- Vanessa and I have been working to make this P2PU class. But, in full disclosure to @vanessa-- I'd be taking this class anyways without our involvement.Im so excited to be collaborating with folks on some writing projects and to see what this space can open up. Im really thankful for P2PU for this platform an opportunity.I live in Providence and feel deeply connected here as well as New Orleans. I run College Unbound and am involved too in the work of Imagining America-- both working to transform/challenge higher education
A lot of my work is around the public purpose of higher education- and creating new models for degree pathways that honor the learning adults do in their daily lives. However-- I have a hard time choosing a focus-- because this intersects with issues of equity and ethics, poverty, community health, relationships and more. Its about creating space for ppl to listen to and honor one anothers work. Thats what I see in this P2P platform too.
A lot of what brought me here emerged circuitously out of oral history and jazz studies work. I was trying to investigate how to meaningfully tell the story of mentors in jazz history (like this: The Spirit of John Whatley)
I still dont think I know how to write about the meaning of mentorship and I think there's a new urgency to capture some of that these days. Thats, in part, what Im interested in exploring here
Hello everyone. My name is Matthew Bastan. I have lived in Providence, RI my entire life. I am very biased in my opinion that it is the best city in the world. I work for the Providence School Department as an Instructional Teacher Assistant at Carl G. Lauro Elementary School. I've been working in Providence Public Schools since 1998. Public education for children and adult education are two issues that are very important to me. I am currently working to improve both. This summer, I participated in trainings based on the book Mind in the Making: The Seven Essential Life Skills by Ellen Galinsky and her research. These trainings were about teaching educators and families how to develop in their children the skills that will help them be successful in school and in life. If things go well, I will be a facilitator at my school. Also this summer, I finally earned my bachelors degree through the College Unbound program. If it wasn't for this program and what it did for me as an adult learner, I don't know when or if I would have graduated. I am going to do what I can to help the CU program grow and provide an opportunity for other adult learners to earn their degrees. I am going to work on improving both my elementary school and help the CU program grow while working towards earning my teaching certification. I am interested in learning about the work and passions of the others in this crew and in what I can learn through participating.
Welcome @mcbastan. Your story is really powerful. Happy to meet you.
Hey all
I'm Carl, I'm a member of the P2PU crew, looking forward to seeing what this course can inspire or assist people to do.
I'm from Sydney, Australia originally, now living in New Jersey, USA. I am inspired by many different grass-roots organisations that harness small numbers of individuals to work for change, particularly in the fields of homelessness and education. And although it sounds self-serving, I strongly admire the work both P2PU and College Unbound do .

Take a virtual visit to Lourdes
If next year's pilgrimage to Lourdes seems a long way off - or if you've never been - you will enjoy the official Lourdes website. Besides the sound of the bells, and the spring water, there's a 24-hour webcam at the Grotto itself. You can see all the Masses there, processions and rosaries as they happen. The picture does looks slightly jumpy and rather small on a computer screen - but it is live. There are also timetables, maps and lots of tourist information for people planning a visit or group pilgrimage. You can find the site on: www.lourdes-france.com.

Over the past few years, many bloggers have mentioned how desktop computing is a dying style and that mobile technology is the wave of the future. Although mobile technology has made a great impact on the world and desktop sales have been lulling due to this, desktop computing in general may never be as obsolete as those bloggers may assume.
Functionality – While mobile devices can cover a great deal of functionality in terms of efficiency for personal and business use, the desktop computer system still provides superior control across virtually every aspect of computing. If a hard drive malfunctions, it's not major surgery to replace the device – aside from reinstalling software. Mobile devices don't experience such luxuries as a failed NAND drive will render the item useless and quite costly to repair – if it can be.
Gaming – Game console systems and the processing power of mobile devices are inspiring to say the least. However, none of those devices have the easiness of upgrades or the raw power of a properly developed gaming PC. A single video card can perform exceptionally well for years, and then can be upgraded in a matter of minutes for additional power. The graphical and sound qualities of mobile and console devices are permanent designs. Although you can hook these devices up to external systems to improve the quality, the actual processing ability of the sound is still governed by the design of the device. On a PC, you can simply install a better sound card.
Raw Storage – Although Cloud storage is a useful development, mobile units and consoles don't have the capacities that a desktop computer can handle. The use of the Cloud requires an Internet connection and file transfers are subjected to the network bandwidth of your location. An installed allotment of six terabytes on a PC gives near instant access to any data saved on those drives whether there is Internet access or not.
Disposable Parts – Mobile devices and consoles can only be upgraded so far, if at all. If at any point your desktop PC needs an upgrade to add more power, it can take you a few minutes to install hardware components. Everything from available memory to the processing unit of the device can be upgraded. The same cannot be said for other devices. Sure, you can install a 64GB SDXC expansion card into your tablet to upgrade the storage space of the unit. For the same price, you can drop an extra 500GB drive into your PC. Unfortunately, you're not able to upgrade that tablet's CPU if it's too slow for you.
Display – While you can use adapters and apps to connect your mobile devices and consoles to large screen LCDs, the desktop PC is already connected. A 10-inch tablet is nice to use and perhaps watch videos on. However, many PC users relish in 22-inch widescreen and larger displays that are already available. In fact, some of these units are touchscreen-capable themselves. This is nothing to say for the abilities of multi-monitor support without extensive computer knowledge, apps, or adapters.
I'm not saying that mobile devices don't have a place in the world. These units have increased the efficiency of millions of personal and business users, but to say that the desktop is obsolete is a statement from someone who hasn't viewed the larger picture. The desktop PC is more than just a computer system to make spreadsheets on. It is a way of life for millions of people and the fact that sales are dipping across the various developers could only denote that more people are simply upgrading their own units instead of buying new and disposable computer systems.

Did you use a Debian kernel (looks like not) or a vanilla kernel? Did you use make oldconfig? If you did it the Debian way, did you,$ cp /boot/config<your old version> $ make gconfig <---- if using gnome, otherwise some variant $ make-kpkhg clean $ make-kpkg --initrd kernel_image modules_image $ cd .. $ dpkg -i linux-image*.deb If you used a non-Debian kernel, did you, $ make mrproper $ make oldconfig . . . or maybe $ make mrproper $ cp /boot/config<your old version> as a starting point?

(Some of the steps above may be redundant.)Do you have all the build tools installed? For Debian way, you need packages build-essential, init-ramfs-tools, kernel-package, module-assistant, devscripts, and of course the kernel package, and the dependencies. You might need git-core, or fakeroot, depending on you setup. ncurses is needed for some of the config tools, and maybe other things (you also need ncurses-dev).
A typo up there, should be make-kpkg clean. Also, this all assumes that you are working from the standard directory /usr/src/linux-source-<yourversion> These are just some hints or guidelines, you should read the kernel docs: /usr/src/linux-source-<yourversion>/DocumentationAnd other stuff. Plenty of stuff on the web, with some diligence searching. (In English, the kernel does not use the masculine pronoun. It is usually referred to as an 'it', not a 'he'.)

January 4, 6:28 PM
Wright & Co., Law Offices
Phoenix Wright was just done putting away paperwork for the day, an unsurprising little amount given that it was only after New Year. For some reason, his all-win track record in the court-room didn't quite garner him as many paying cases as he had previously expected. So he had been stuck with really thick law books that he had to re-read (unfortunately). He never thought he would say this but he was glad that he had nothing else to work on today, as his back was really starting to ache from all the bending over he had to do and he didn't quite think he could take much more sitting at that desk.
Turns out, sitting on a chair for hours isn't good for one's health. Who knew? Time for a break wouldn't be a terrible idea, and at any minute his assistant and spirit medium Maya Fey would start bugging him to go get burgers. No matter how much money he had in his wallet, Maya always seemed to make it disappear given how much she ate.
She didn't disappoint. "Nick! I'm huuuuuuuungry! Let's go get some burgers!" Maya whined, jumping up from the couch. A sigh and the attorney was off the chair, and wore the jacket that he had hanged on the chair.
"Alright, alright." the attorney said, actually slightly famished himself. Maya grinned and headed straight for the door, with Phoenix in row. Just as he was to lock the door to his office, he heard the office phone ringing. A brief glance revealed that Maya was still bouncing up and down. "Hold it, the phone's ringing." that was cue enough for Maya to stay waiting outside.
He made it inside and padded through the office, dark now thanks to the turned off lights. The ringing continued until he picked the phone.
"Wright and Co Law Offices, how may I help you?" Phoenix said, still standing.
A brief pause continued and just as Phoenix was about to hang up, a rather condescending voice came through. "Is this Phoenix Wright, so-called Ace Attorney?"
"Ah, yes?" Phoenix said, slightly confused at how the man asked for his name. So-called?
"Are you asking me or telling me?" the irritated and arrogant man asked. Phoenix inwardly cringed, this man was certainly difficult.
"Telling you?"
The man on the other side snorted. "Oh dear, you certainly don't live up to the name, now do you? But I suppose I have no choice by now." Okay, now Phoenix was quite offended. "I'm accused of a murder I did not commit by inferior minds. However much it would have been much more efficient if I were to represent myself, but certain improperly educated apes banned me from acting as my own attorney. Henceforth, I request your assistance." The man said without taking a single pause to breath.
"Alriiight. You didn't quite mention your name, though." Phoenix asked. It should be easy to ignore the stranger's jabs at him, at least they didn't sound as malicious as someone like Manfred Von Karma. He barely resisted the involuntary shudder at the thought.
"Oh. Didn't I? Of course I know I didn't; I have an eidetic memory but my mother didn't raise me to have no manners. I'm Doctor Sheldon Lee Cooper, senior theoretical physicist at the California Institute of Technology." Once again, without one prolonged lapse. Although his name did strike familiar to Phoenix, he couldn't quite pinpoint it though.
"I'll come over to the detention centre tomorrow morning, Doctor Cooper. We'll discuss the case there." the attorney said. He had a lot to think about this rather rude doctor. The man bid farewell and Phoenix placed the phone back on its place. Suddenly, a thought struck him. How did this 'doctor' call him? Usually the detention centre allowed calls to be made from the centre only till noon.
Another question to ask this doctor, he supposed. Surly this Cooper being a doctor might mean that he would actually get a decent paying case for once, regardless of the blatant rudeness he didn't really sound the type to commit murder. He'd have to see him to be certain, though. In the meantime, he'd go with Maya to the burger joint and leave it for tomorrow. Maya was surely getting restless by now.
A\N: There we go, first chapter done and ready. I hope you enjoyed reading it. There is a dire lack of Phoenix Wright - Ace Attorney and The Big Bang Theory crossover fanfics, so I tried to fix that. Nowadays, I find myself liking crossover stories, especially Buffy & TBBT crossover fics. Some are really well-written, albeit not yet finished.
Anyway, thank you once more for reading. Suggestions (via reviews, preferably) certainly wouldn't be amiss and I would deeply appreciate them. Till next time!

So anyway, I browsed their available selection and came across a LOT of great things. It was extremely hard to narrow my choices down to just one item, but after days of deliberating (seriously) I finally decided on this white tulle skirt.
I've seen all the cute tulle skirt outfits on Pinterest and have always been wanting one but could never seem to find them locally so when I saw that eShakti had one that I could customize, it was a no-brainer. The customizing part was awesome and so easy to do. You just type in your measurements and your height and then select the length that you want it to be. I'm loving the midi-skirt style right now! Oh, and you can even choose whether to have pockets or not. Genius.
So what do you think of the skirt? Have you ever ordered from eShakti?

Original paper
Rhyncholites and conchorhynch (calcified nautiloid beaks) from the Eocene (Lutetian/Priabonian) Castle Hayne Formation, Southeastern North Carolina
Weaver, Patricia G.; Ciampaglio, Charles N.; Sadorf, Eric M.

Four nautiloid upper beaks: two Rhyncolites minimus Van Binckhorst, one Rhyncolites aturensis Pacaud, one Rhyncolites sp. and one lower beak Conchorhynchus furrus Weaver, Ciampaglio & Sadorf n. sp. are described herein for the first time from the Eocene (Lutetian/Priabonian) Castle Hayne Formation of southeastern North Carolina. Rhyncolites americanus Teichert & Spinosa from the Maastrichtian of Mississippi is reinstated as a valid species. The specimens of Rhyncolites minimus are similar in size to those found from California and the Netherlands. The specimen of Rhyncolites aturensis is similar to, but smaller than those of the same species described from France. The specimen of Rhyncolites sp. is so well-worn by dissolution, abrasion or other diagenetic factors that no species assignment is possible. Though preserved nautiloid upper beaks are geographically and stratigraphically wide-spread throughout the Mesozoic to Cenozoic, lower beaks are rarely preserved. Conchorhynchus furrus n. sp. is the first conchorhynch described from the United States. Eocene rhyncholites and the conchorhynch from North Carolina are most likely the calcified beaks of Eutrephoceras Hyatt.

Having endured speculation about the future or the fate of the Falcon, Ford as a brand is now under direct attack from import-only car makers Mazda, Hyundai and Nissan.
Sales figures released this week show that while Toyota and Holden have a stranglehold on the top two positions in new-car sales, Ford, the third player among Australia's ''big three'' car manufacturers, has been bumped to fifth place.
The Mazda3 cemented its position as Australia's biggest-selling car in the first three months of 2012, according to VFACTS data.
But after a record start to the year, Mazda as a brand is on track to topple its former parent company Ford in the Australian market and end up third on the podium behind Toyota and Holden.
Mazda sold more than 26,500 vehicles in the first quarter of 2012, setting it up for an annual tally of about 100,000 vehicles.
At the same time last year, Mazda and Ford were separated by just 120 sales. Today, the gap has widened to more than 6200 vehicles in Mazda's favour.
While Ford is continuing seven years of declining sales (overall sales are down by 11 per cent in the first three months of this year), Mazda sales are up 16 per cent.
Hyundai has beaten Ford before on individual months but this is the first time the South Korean brand has overtaken Ford three months in a row.
Meanwhile Nissan, which finished just 349 sales behind Ford in the first quarter of the year, also plans to overtake the Blue Oval.
It will enter V8 Supercars next year with a new sedan called the Altima and plans to challenge the top-selling Mazda3 and Toyota Corolla with a revived Pulsar small car.
''We've set ourselves an objective to be right up the sharp end of the small segment in terms of numbers,'' says the executive general manager for national sales and fleet at Nissan Australia, Ian Moreillon.
Moreillon expects the mid-size Altima to chip away at the declining large-car segment.
''The reality is we expect to get people out of Falcons and Commodores [and] into Altima,'' he says.
Ford, which last led the Australian new-car market in 1997, says it will make a recovery in the second half of the year once the supply of key models improves.
''Rankings make a nice headline but satisfied customers is what we're striving for,'' says a spokesman for Ford Australia, Neil McDonald.
''The bottom line is that we're continuing to focus on … a long-term, sustainable business. We have also experienced a legacy of the impact of the floods in Thailand on vehicles like Fiesta and Ranger, but supply is now improving each week and we anticipate this to be largely behind us.''
The two shining lights in the Ford line-up are the Territory SUV (up 52 per cent) and Focus small car (up 48 per cent).
But other key models have taken a hit in the wake of interruptions to supply out of flood-affected Thailand: Fiesta sales are down 27 per cent and its breadwinning pick-up, the Ranger 4x4, is down 44 per cent.
Falcon, meanwhile, soldiered on with a tally of 1275 sales in March, down 24 per cent.
The Holden Commodore fared better than its big sedan rival, posting 3187 sales and outselling the Cruze small car (2880) for the month and the first quarter. But Commodore sales were down by a similar percentage to Ford (22 per cent).
Mazda says it is not gunning for Ford, but will sell as many cars as the market demands.
''We don't have a war room whereby we go and sit down and say, 'Right, we want to sell this [many]' … We will sell [how many cars] the market wants,'' says a spokesman for Mazda Australia, Steve Maciver.
''We've got some pretty good market analysts who think … another record year is on the cards for us. We can see the potential; we'll end up this year in excess of 90,000.''

— Siuan Sanche to Egwene and Nynaeve
External summary
|<<< The Bite of the Thorns >>>
|Setting: White Tower
Point of view: Egwene al'Vere
Siuan ponders on who she can trust. Nynaeve says she doesn't think they can trust Moiraine. Siuan questions whether Nynaeve has enough experience in the world to really know who to trust. After metaphorically beating around the bush, the Amyrlin says they are all she has to work with, and does not believe they are Black Ajah. She does believe they can trust Moiraine, and thinks they know more than they think they do. Siuan says she wishes she could raise Nynaeve to the shawl. She says these two are the only ones she can be sure are not part of Liandrin's group. Since no one will believe the Amyrlin took under her wing someone whom she just humiliated publicly with these punishments, and she can trust them, they are to be her hounds. Egwene and Nynaeve are to hunt the Black Ajah for the Amyrlin. Elayne cannot be part of their group, since Siuan cannot get into any more hot water with Morgase. Siuan says Verin will give them all the information she has. The Amyrlin gives them papers that have written on them: "what the bearer does is done by my authority. Obey, and keep silent, at my command. Signed the Amyrlin Seat". Egwene and Nynaeve leave, with reminders that they have to visit Sheriam and work in the kitchen.

Daniels: Appease Democrats, Drop Union Bill. UPDATE: Daniels Says, Legislators Running Away Is A "Perfectly Legitimate Part Of The Process"S. T. Karnick says:
Pascal, Gov. Daniels' position on this is emblematic of the difference between a conservative and a true, principled reformer. A conservative will always back down when pressed, because order is so important to them. What we need today are true classical liberals who will fight for the reforms they believe in.
You'll get no argument from me on that score Sam. I've noted how Conservatives suffer from the problem of allegiance to two masters. "Do I stand firm for tradition, or do I protect the status quo?"
As the status quo was moved Left by
progressiveincremental compromises, conservatives have been dragged off their principle moorings. So now those who have the most to lose worry more about protecting their positions than our collective posterity.
Principle versus the pragmatic? Ask Cicero which prevailed 2050 years ago.

Verizon's first quarter as sole owner of Verizon Wireless was a mixed one.
Verizon posted a first-quarter profit of $3.95 billion, or $1.15 a share. In the year-earlier period, it reported a profit of $2 billion, or 68 cents a share. Excluding one-time items such as an after-tax gain from an asset sale, it posted per-share earnings of 84 cents.
Revenue rose 4.8 percent to $30.8 billion.
Analysts, on average, forecast earnings of 87 cents a share and revenue of $30.7 billion, according to Thomson Reuters.
Verizon took full control of Verizon Wireless in February. It previously shared ownership with UK telecom provider Vodafone, who owned a 45 percent stake in the business, and likewise shared in the reporting of its profits. With Vodafone out of the picture, Verizon's numbers this quarter looked markedly better than a year ago.
The wireless unit, which has been an increasing focus of the business, added 549,000 retail net connections (connections defined as any new mobile device attached to a Verizon plan), with a vast majority considered more lucrative "post-paid" customers who commit to long-term contracts. The company added 634,000 net new tablet customers, suggesting it lost considerable chunk of basic phone customers if its total net new customers was 549,000.
The numbers represent a decline over its year-earlier results, when Verizon added 720,000 net new retail connections, with postpaid customers falling by more than 20 percent.
"To date, Verizon subscriber trends have held up well despite the onslaught from T-Mobile...however, this quarter, AT&T responded on pricing and Verizon's trends suffered as a result," said New Street Research analyst Jonathan Chaplin.
During a conference call with analysts on Thursday, Verizon Chief Financial Officer Fran Shammo acknowledged the loss of customers, largely on the 3G and basic phone said, but said that it took steps to address the issues with promotions later in the quarter, and saw improved results in March.
Verizon, like AT&T, made a few moves to target more budget-conscious customers, as well as giving price breaks, global text messages, and additional data capacity under a new program called " More Everything." The program came on the heels of T-Mobile's decision to buy out the early termination fees of customers willing to jump ship.
The company said that half of its postpaid customers were on a More Everything plan, with smartphones making up 72 percent of its customer base, up from 61 percent a year ago.
The company took a "rational, disciplined approach to responding in the marketplace," Shammo said.
AT&T posted a first-quarter profit of $3.7 billion and added more than 1 million wireless customers period, and 625,000 contract customers, with an increasing mix coming from tablets and connected devices. It was seemingly unaffected by T-Mobile's ETF buyout program.
On the wireline side, Verizon added 98,000 net new FiOS Internet connections and 57,000 net new FiOS video connections. In total, it has 6.2 million FiOS Internet customers and 5.3 million FiOS video customers as of the end of the period. The increase in FiOS Internet customers slightly offset declines in its traditional DSL business.
Looking ahead, Verizon said it continues to target revenue growth of 4 percent and higher margins on an adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization basis this year.
Verizon shares fell nearly $1, or 2 percent, to $46.46.

Concerned Falls residents call on mayor to hold meeting on Covanta rail access
NIAGARA FALLS – Residents concerned about the planned expansion of a waste-to-energy facility in the city want to meet with Mayor Paul A. Dyster to discuss the issue.
About 20 people gathered at a news conference late Wednesday afternoon to call on the mayor to sit down and talk about Covanta Niagara's plan to add rail access that will allow it to bring in garbage from New York City.
Standing roughly 50 yards from the facility's main entrance on 56th Street near Frontier Avenue, the group also called for a cumulative-impact study of all facilities in the area that have state and federal permits to release contaminants into the air.
Holding signs that said "Mayor Dyster: Is this development?" and "Niagara Falls is not a garbage dump," several speakers raised questions about the potential effects of the company's proposal, which still requires state approval.
Shirley Hamilton, a city resident and president of the Niagara Falls branch of the NAACP, said she remembers back when the city didn't have artificial mountains of landfilled garbage.
"What really disturbs me is the fact that our city officials and our state entities would allow thousands of tons of more garbage to be railed into this community from New York City," Hamilton said.
Covanta Niagara already has the city's permission to add rail access to its facility, which burns waste to create steam and electricity and emits a variety of pollutants into the air.
Under a $2.8 billion agreement announced in August, Covanta Niagara and another Covanta facility in Pennsylvania will accept municipal waste from New York City for at least the next 20 years, scheduled to begin early in 2015.
The Niagara Falls facility is already permitted by the state Department of Environmental Conservation to accept up to 800,000 tons of waste per year, but does so now by truck. The company's current proposal does not seek to increase the total amount of waste in can bring in.
The city needs to have more control over how Covanta's project may impact it in the future, said Amy H. Witryol of Lewiston, a retired banker who has been active in waste disposal issues locally.
The company has touted its rail-access proposal as a way to reduce truck traffic in the area.
Witryol said she is concerned the company is building itself enough rail capacity that would allow it to become a transfer station and haul even more waste here in the future, including off of trains and onto trucks to ship elsewhere.
Covanta spokesman James Regan said the company has never expressed a desire to do so, and currently has no such plans.
Any such proposal would require additional permission from the state.
Witryol said she wants assurances from the company in writing about it, which it thus far has been unwilling to do.
The city also should look into the possibility of reaching some type of host community agreement with Covanta, which it has in place in other communities that are home to its facilities, Witryol said. Under such a deal, the company would provide some type of financial compensation based on its waste-related activities.
In a related matter, residents also have asked state regulators for further action they say impacts the day-to-day operation of the facility.
An on-site, environmental monitor position - employed by the state DEC and paid for by Covanta - has been vacant for several months.
Hamilton and Witryol, along with Falls resident Christopher Kudela, in a Sept. 25 letter asked the agency to expedite the process for filling the position.
Dyster could not be reached for comment late Wednesday.

The personal finance website WalletHub recently dug into the states with the best and worst health care in the nation and in the end Nebraska ranked 10th best overall. Analyst Jill Gonzales says they compared all 50 states and the District of Columbia regarding key metrics.
WalletHub looked at three different categories containing 29 key metrics. Those categories included health care costs, health care access and health outcome. Nebraska ranked very high in the access category.
Gonzales says, "When we look at access we look at the health infrastructure. We look at the public hospital system where Nebraska was sixth best. The number of hospital beds and the ER wait time, Nebraska was in the top five there with about 18 minutes." She says they also look at the number of nurse practitioners, physicians, physician assistants and dentists in states to make sure there are enough to go around and there are plenty in Nebraska.
Gonzales says Nebraska has the highest physician Medicaid acceptance rate in the nation at 97% and the Medicare acceptance rate is at 93%. When it comes to the health care cost rate Nebraska ranked 20th in the nation and the health outcome ranking came in at 21st.
Nebraska ranks in the middle when it comes to monthly insurance premium rates and the percentage of children ages 0 to 17 with health insurance.
Minnesota holds the number one spot with Alaska in last place.

Question: clopidogrel for 2 yrs now
|swaroop - Thu Dec 17, 2009 7:47 am
I am taking clopidogrel 75 for the last 2 yrs after my ASD Device closure. Since then anxiety is keeping me disturbed off & on. I am feeling pain in my left arm for 2 days now & occasional piercing pain in different ares of my chest. my recent blood reports & Echo are fine. Can these pains be heart related though i am taking clopidogrel for 2 yrs now...
|John Kenyon, CNA - Wed Dec 23, 2009 12:10 am
Hi there -- These symptoms, while certainly deserving of an MD's attention, don't sound as though they could be related to your procedure. There would seem to be something going on, most likely orthopedic in nature, even and especially given your history. I think it would be wise to let your physician know what's happening and have him take a look at you. I seriously doubt this is heart-related.
Good luck to you. Please follow up here as needed.
|swaroop - Thu Dec 24, 2009 9:33 am
Thanks for the reply. The arm pain , i was telling has gone automatically, without any medication. But the chest pain, i was telling is still there. Its just a piercing pain on right ,left or anywhere & goes in 20-30 seconds & comes back again in 20-30 mnts. I am taking Clopidogrel 75 mg. My lipid profile is fine, heart function as suggested by ECHO(EJECTION FRACTIION is 56%) are fine. Can these pains be out of panic attacks? Actually everytime i go to my physician or Cardio, they simply send me back ,without checking me further & told me to be relaxed. How can i be relaxed? My cardio doesnot want to start the medicines for tachycardia as of now. All are saying that my heart is fine & moreover i am on PROPHYLAXIS . Kindly help.
|John Kenyon, CNA - Fri Jan 01, 2010 10:30 pm
The pains could certainly be anxiety-related, especially when one considers the random nature and especially the locations. The fact they are sharp as opposed to dull and aching or squeezing, and the fact they appear in varying locations all suggest either anxiety (which would certainly be understandabl) or possible a chest wall muscle inflammation problem. They don't sound at all like heart -related pains. However, your doctor still needs to remember just because a patient may be anxious this doesn't mean he cannot also be sick. Even though this doesn't sound heart-related it does warrant some attention. Doctors often begin to assume every complaint arises from what they believe to be anxiety. They may sometimes be right, but they may also equally often be wrong, especially if the don't check.
Again, I don't think this is heart related, but it does deserve further attention to rule out other, simpler causes that could help you feel better and perhaps even reduce your level of anxiety. This would all be to the good. I'd mention the fact to your doctor if I were you.
Hope this helps. Good luck to you and please keep us updated.

Growth is brewing in the beer and wine industries, so drink up.
Between 2007 and 2012, the number of U.S. breweries more than doubled to 869 from 398, the Census Bureau said Tuesday.
