Seen one ballpark marriage proposal, seen 'em all .. right?
Not quite. Check out what happened at Kauffman Stadium during the game between the Kansas City Royals and Los Angeles Angels on Monday as a serviceman proposed to his girlfriend on the team's super-ginormous scoreboard ... then surprised her with an earlier-than-expected homecoming right there on the dugout roof.
Something tells me the Royals waived their usual $500 fee and "no custom proposal" rules for this one:
Great, great stuff. Best wishes to the happy couple for a true Royal wedding.
(Check out another angle of the proposal over on MLB.com.)

It's time for Hillary to negotiate terms of surrender
However, as Obama began to rise, powered by the party�s Net-roots activists, she scurried left, particularly with her progressively more explicit renunciation of the Iraq War. It was a fool�s errand. She would never be able to erase the stain of her original war vote, and she remained unwilling to do an abject John Edwards self-flagellating recantation. It took her weeks even to approximate the apology the Left was looking for, and by then it was far too late. The party�s activist wing was by then unbreakably betrothed to Obama.
But going left proved disastrous for Clinton. It abolished all significant policy differences between her and Obama, the National Journal�s 2007 most liberal senator. On health care, for example, her attempts to turn a minor difference in the definition of universality into a major assault on Obama fell flat. With no important policy differences separating them, the contest became one of character and personality. Matched against this elegant, intellectually nimble, hugely talented newcomer, she had no chance of winning that contest.
She tried everything. Her charges that he was a man of nothing but words came off as a petulant, envious attack on eloquence. The power to inspire might not be sufficient to qualify for the presidency, but it is hardly a liability.
She tried a silly plagiarism charge, then settled for the experience card. In a change election, this was not a brilliant strategy. It forced her to dwell on the 1990s, playing candidate of the past to Obama�s candidate of the future. Her studied attempts to embellish her experience led her into a thicket of confabulated Bosnian sniper fire.
It wasn�t until late in the fourth quarter that she figured out the seam in Obama�s defense. In fact, Obama handed her the playbook with Jeremiah Wright, William Ayers, Michelle Obama�s comments about never having been proud of America and Obama�s own guns-and-God condescension toward small-town whites.
The line of attack is clear: not that Obama is himself radical or unpatriotic, just that, as a man of the academic left, he is so out of touch with everyday America that he could move so easily and untroubled in such extreme company and among such alien and elitist sentiments.
Clinton finally understood the way to run against Obama: back to the center�not ideologically but culturally, not on policy but on attitude. She changed none of her positions on Iraq or Iran or health care or taxes. Instead, she transformed herself into working-class Sally-get-her-gun, off duck hunting with dad.
The gas tax holiday was never an economic or policy issue. It was meant to position her culturally. It heightened her identification with her white working-class constituency. Obama played his part by citing economists in opposing it. That completed her narrative: He had the pointy-headed professors on his side; she had the single moms seeking relief at the pump.
It was an overreach. It not only deflected attention away from the amazing Rev. Wright at the height of his spectacular return. It also never played as the elitist-versus-working-folk issue she had hoped because it isn�t just economists who know the gas tax holiday is nothing but a cheap gimmick. Ordinary folks do, too. And the gas tax idea had the unfortunate side effect of reinforcing Hillary�s main character liability vis-a-vis Obama: cynical Washington pol willing to do or say anything to win votes versus the idealistic straight-shooter refusing to pander even if it costs him.
The lightness in Hillary�s step in the days before Indiana and North Carolina reflected the relief of the veteran politician who, after months of treading water, finally finds the right campaign strategy. But it was far too late. And the gas tax overkill, one final error of modulation, sealed the deal�for Obama.
There�s only one remaining chapter in this fascinating spectacle. Negotiating the terms of Hillary�s surrender. After which we will have six months of watching her enthusiastically stumping the country for Obama, denying with utter conviction Republican charges that he is the out of touch, latte-sipping elitist she warned Democrats against so urgently in the last, late leg of her doomed campaign.

Super Super Magazine
Super Super Magazine from the UK
Super Super is the printed embodiment of the New Rave/New Wave culture started is the UK and now spreading to global cities. While Jeggi wrote about the Klaxons and the emerging scene in the last issue of Jaded, I was quite detached from this culture. Berlin doesnt quite have an audience for this yet, it is a poor gray city with poor natives. But precisely because of Berlin's location in the middle of Europe and the affordability factor, it will soon be the major breeding ground for this culture. London as we know is one of the most expensive places especially for non-working outrageous money-dropping party people. In comparison Berlin is a paradise.
Beyond outrageous color combos and excessive accessories there lies a treasure chest of keytar cords, synth beats, punk inspired vocals, all-nonsense rap, and radical dance moves. Without a doubt the bands and artists are performers and entertainers. Music, fashion and theater all go hand in hand. It is really exciting because the music and fashion signifie a bold and creative movement with all its contradictions. Recycled juice box necklaces to $200 sneakers.
The electro trash movement is not just all garbage. Last night I saw a phenomenal band from New Zeland (Welfe's friends) called So So Modern that are currently on an European tour and did a US tour in this past spring (including SXSW). They been together for three years and have refined their sound and energy to include thoughtful synth combos with three keyboard, drums, guitar, bass, the occasional keytar and tambourines, indecipherable punk vocals, and perfectly-timed body jerks and fancy footworks. But they are of course incomplete without their minimalist all white hoodies and sweatpants.

The Great Depression
In the book "The Snowball" – a wonderful biography of Warren Buffett's life and absolutely worth reading in my opinion – Warren Buffett summed up the actual situation of the world's economy in the last chapter "Coupons" using the words: "It's a hard time. This is now another world, and nobody knows what will happen to the world."
But let's take a look on what happened in the last months. After the fall of Lehman a big shock wave spread over the financial markets inexorably. In the course of that shock wave, the Dow Jones fell from its all-time high of 14,000 Points to 8,000 Points and bank titles such as Bank of America or Citygroup have lost 85% of their former market capitalisation. The former chairman of the NASDAQ Bernard Madoff was able to dupe his investors to the tune of $50,000,000,000. Several personalities of the financial world have committed suicide, including the German investor and multibillionaire Adolf Merckle.
What will happen now? Will we really face a crisis just like the crisis in 1929? First of all, I want to say that nobody can predict the future but the similarities to the year 1929 are really frightening. The crash of 1929 for example had it's roots in much too high stock values caused by the wide range of credit offers banks offered the people in order to achieve larger profits. Four years after the crash the U.S. government passed a sequence of central economic planning programmes called "New Deal" in order to stabilize the economy and above all regulate the completely runaway stock market. The deal worked and as banks weren't allowed to spread credits to everyone in order to fund huge financial bubbles, governments did't have to deal with the consequences of such enormous financial bubbles for more than 75 years – until now. But in the year 2000 bankers had a new exciting idea on how to offer credits to the masses. Instead of giving direct credits to the people like in 1929 they now gave mortgages to nearly everybody. This had the effect of raising housing prices and when the price of your home is very high you are also more creditworthy. But of course this bubble also had to burst and now we are facing a huge credit-funded pile of fragments again. The story of Bernard Madoff has also already existed, albeit in a slightly weakened form: Richard Whitney, who was the chairman of the N.Y. stock exchange in 1929 was sentenced to 5 years prison in 1938 for embezzling millions of dollars from his clients between 1929-1930.
But let's sum up the facts: The advantage this time around is that our governments know how to deal with recession much better than they did in 1929. Sir John Maynard Keynes developed his theories on fiscal policy and instead of making things more worse our governments know that they have to invest in order to get the economy going again. The disadvantage of this policy is that national debts have to be paid back one day, or governments have to abandon their currency. But the economical supremacy of the U.S.A. can't be defeated when the government will start to pay back their 14 trillion dollar debt. On the other hand, the disadvantage is that this crisis is a different type of crisis: This crisis has hit the economy at its weakest spot: its banks. The cash flow between banks and companies has been nearly zero for a long time. Many banks have securities which nobody knows how much they are worth – or better said if they are worth anything. Now the U.S. government finally created a "Badbank" worth $2,000,000,000,000 which should release the credit markets from their state of shock. Nevertheless it has to be said that the consequences of this "Badbank" on the international bank sector can't be predicted yet. Another problem is that people often forget the past in times of crises. The "Buy American clause" for example would in my opinion be the first step into a catastrophe. Because when the first country starts to protect their markets, others will follow and that would have unpredictable consequences in our fully globalized world.
In conclusion it can be said that we are definitely facing a deep deep recession which will either hit quick and painful or slow and painful. Unemployment rates will be very high for a long time and the average rate of return for securities won't be over 4% for many years. But if the crisis really turns into a depression like in the years 1929-1935 can't be said, yet. In my opinion that depends on our governments now.
Pilgrimage to Warren Buffett's Omaha by Jeff Matthews
The Pilgrimage to Warren Buffett's Omaha by Jeff Matthews is an enjoyable read for everybody who is interested in the insights of the Berkshire Hathaway Annual Meeting in Omaha and who seeks answers to investment questions from Warren Buffett.
Every year, they come to Omaha. Far from the stock market in Wall Street, in a place more known for cattle and corn, investors from all over the world gather for one purpose: Warren Buffett and his annual Berkshire Hathaway meeting. For the uninitiated, it's an event wrapped in mystique and mystery. It's a chance to have Buffett himself, the Oracle of Omaha, answer their questions.
In Pilgrimage to Warren Buffett's Omaha: A Hedge Fund Manager's Dispatches from Inside the Berkshire Hathaway Annual Meeting the reader gets an in-depth look at this unusual experience. The book covers the 2007 and 2008 meetings, a time when Bear Sterns was collapsing and more than 31,000 people came to seek advice from the investment guru.
The book is written by Jeff Matthews, a hedge fund founder and financial blogger. He got his own highly-coveted ticket to the Berkshire Hathaway meeting held only for shareholders and proceeded to post reports on his blog, offering tempting glimpses into the much-discussed meeting. Offering a thoroughly entertaining first-hand account of Berkshire Hathaway's meeting, he answers questions investor's are asking.
Personally, I liked the book and found it to be an enjoyable read. Jeff Matthews takes the reader into the world of Warren Buffet and his shareholders. You get a different point of view than usual and get a look at Buffet's investing methods along with the way he interacts with his shareholders.
All in all, I can recommend this book to anyone who is interested in investing. If you want to learn even more about Warren Buffett, and you probably will after this book, you might also check out The Snowball.

58-149 is 9/16" but I need closer to 13/16"
A quick learner from Martinsville, VA says:
February 15, 2014
Probably due to house setting, the door sweeps do not reach the threshold on one side of the door. is there an alternative sweep that is identical other than the size is 13/16 instead of 9/16.
Paul from SWISCO responded:
February 17, 2014
Before you order a whole new sweep, I think you might want to first see if your door has screws on the sweep that allow you to adjust its height. Many doors have such a feature, and that might solve your problem right there and then.

Sheriff's response to Las Vegas shooting
In response to the story, "2 police officers slain in Las Vegas" (June 9), such incidents are becoming more frequent, as we've seen in the past few days.
Two years ago, the Sheriff's Department began working to forge closer relationships with Scripps Health as well as other regional EMS and law enforcement agencies. The goal was to improve communications in the hope of preventing these types of incidents here. And if they did occur, ensuring we have the systems and practices that would allow us to respond effectively.
On June 6, we planned and conducted a comprehensive "active shooter" exercise for training purposes in the new facility at Scripps Memorial Hospital Encinitas before it opens.
The drill involved hundreds of people representing agencies and organizations from throughout the region. Drill participants practiced how to most effectively respond in these situations, including how to clear rooms, rescue the wounded and evacuate victims while communicating with emergency personnel.
Recent events remind us not to take for granted the positive interagency relationships we enjoy in San Diego County. We want to thank all of the agencies – health care, law enforcement, fire and EMS for their efforts and continual preparation to both prevent and respond to incidents in our community.

Hillary exaggerates on 'struggling'
Although "broke" may be a stretch for what Hillary Clinton said in an interview with Diane Sawyer, being in debt is accurate.
But her account that she and Bill "... struggled to... piece together the resources for mortgages, for houses, for Chelsea's education ... was not easy" is nowhere near the struggle of those who collect cans for recycling, clip coupons and buy clothes from the Goodwill so they can put food on the table or pay rent. That's struggling.

Mayor just doing his job
The U-T's assessment of Mayor Faulconer's first 100 days is that he is getting San Diego "back on track" by 1. "installing" a new police chief; 2. expanding the pothole repair program; and 3. restoring library hours. However, choosing a new police chief when need be, keeping the roads safe and the libraries open are just part of the mayor's job description. It's great that he's doing his job, but he doesn't deserve any extra credit for it.
The only other concrete information about his activities in the U-T's interview is that he's been working hard to strengthen ties to Tijuana and Mexico, because that will create "good" jobs in San Diego and "good quality" jobs in Mexico. For example, he'd like to see more medical device manufacturing jobs in Mexico. I'm confused: is Kevin Faulconer the mayor of San Diego, or of Tijuana?

Mayor add
In Sunday's SD in Depth's interview with the new mayor there is one sentence that I hope everyone read. It stated that Councilwoman Zapf believes the mayor is in favor of selling the land at Qualcomm and Sports Arena and giving the proceeds to the Spanos family to help build a new stadium. Whether he is in favor is secondary to the mere thought of doing this.
Let me repeat — give those hundreds of millions of dollars to a local billionaire family to increase the size of their wallets.
I believe the mayor had previously stated he wouldn't use taxpayer money or funds to help the NFLers, and I for one believe any land owned by the city is taxpayer money and funds.

Bergdahl searchers deserve recognition
I saw a very touching photograph of President Obama hugging Bergdahl's parents at the White House. I look forward to similar photos of the president with the parents of the six men killed while looking for Bergdahl. It would be the right thing for the him to do.

Questioning opinions on Bergdahl
Regarding the letter writers shaming people for having an opinion about Sgt. Bergdahl, it's true he hasn't been convicted in court yet, but I'm wondering how they felt about George Zimmerman and Trayvon Martin.
Randy Culver

Released Taliban not that dangerous
The June 8 op-ed by Rep. Duncan Hunter, "White House had better options to win Bergdahl's freedom," was vague about what the better options are.
Bergdahl was released without a shot being fired. Despite this success, Hunter is displeased with the process. The principle that America does not negotiate with terrorists was violated. This is a poor principle because an opportunity might arise for negotiation instead of combat.
A ridiculous assertion is the former detainees "are sure to pick up where they left off." Others have taken over their five positions and have more current knowledge than the old detainees. The current leaders won't give up their jobs easily for the others.
Regarding inspiring further kidnappings, the Taliban has been so motivated to kidnap that any new motivation is insignificant.

Postcard doesn't deserve a congrats
As soon as I read the June 10 editorial about Ben Hueso forcing us to buy expensive geothermal power ("Geothermal mandate: Ben Hueso's folly,") I went to my mailbox and tore up the prepaid postcard someone (from Hueso's office?) sent me by mail. The card congratulated Hueso for creating jobs and providing us with another source of energy.
Thanks for setting me straight. I wonder who paid for the mailers. Taxpayers?

VA talk overlooks veterans' spouses
Concerning the wait times for veterans, there is a faction we are overlooking: the care and well-being of retired and senior vets and their spouses.
I care for an 89-year-old widow of a retired veteran. She has fractured both hips, broken her tailbone and has liver cancer. She has no one in this country to assist her.
I applied for a little-known benefit for housebound status and need for permanent regular aid and attendance. It was filed three months ago. I recently called the VA to find out the status. The gentleman laughed and said "Honey, it takes a minimum of six months and longer to even be reviewed."
Now I wonder, how many senior veterans and their spouses die before receiving benefits? Is this how we repay our veterans for serving their country?

Enforce laws on bicyclists
Have you see bicyclists run a stop sign, a red light or violate some other traffic law? Have you ever seen one stopped by law enforcement? The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration shows there were 726 bicyclist fatalities in 2012, 124 in California, not to speak of the 49,000 injured nationwide.
The average fatality age of 43 shows these bicyclists know the law, they just disregard it. Such numbers might support the need for serious enforcement intervention.

Take down those campaign signs
The state's primary election was a week ago. Winning and losing candidates (or their representatives) should canvas their areas and remove their campaign blight. Or are these people gearing up for 2018?

Complex.com just named the Air Jordan III the #1 signature basketball sneaker of all time. And with good reason; the AJIII introduced the world to visible Air cushioning on Air Jordans, featured the debut of Elephant print, and marked the first time we saw the Jumpman. That same spread eagle dunker is one of the easiest ways you can tell if your Threes are from '03 or later, and though some purists still long for 'NIKE AIR' on the heels, this White Cement colorway is otherwise perfectly faithful to the original. We've got some new shots to share with you, so click below to see a bunch more photos and stick with Sneaker News for the announcement of Air Jordan III 2011 retro release dates. And if you just can't wait, pick up a pair at a slight premium from SneakerApe.

Big Cypress Seminole Indian Reservation
Florida Travel Blog› entry 2 of 2 › view all entries
...By now, some members of our crew had dispersed...off to expell bodily fluids, aquire food, take refuge in the nearby backstage campgrounds, and otherwise reassemble their internal psychic elements. Eventually it started feeling less like Phish was perfoming a musical concert for our benefit, and more like we were all subsumed together into a giant, pulsing, organic mass, propelled by the sounds and lights coming from onstage. People were living, breathing, sleeping, just *existing*... as the spectacle continued on, like some musical sun that pulled us all along through its gravitational pull and kept our pulses going.
I periodically checked my watch, and Raras and I joked about how fun it was just "whiling away the fours" and then "whiling away the fives" and then.
During Fish's intro to Love You, 80,000 of us seemed to experience a brief mental *drift*.. finally punctuated by Fishman's remark, "Oh, are we at a rock concert?". It was a perfect comment, and summed up my feelings precisely. Was this a f$#%&*g rock concert? What was it? At this moment Sting is probably waking up for his yoga and a morning jog, and Phish is *still* onstage playing their New Year's Eve show.
Roses Are Free seemed to glide up out of the silence slowly, as the band eased back into gear after the Henrietta break.
During Roses, the sky began to lighten. By the end of Bug it was already daylight, and I started wondering if and when they were ever going to stop playing. I also noticed the enormous screens, literally for the first time in several hours. There was an extreme closeup of Page's face, with red light streaking through his hair..I quipped, "I am Page...I am the Sun God!". It was pretty strange, honestly. It was sometime around here that a member of our group suddenly produced a still-cold bottle of champagne. The process of handing it around and gulping from it seemed so absurd that it was hilarious, and we started chanting "Happy new year!' in a kind of hybrid of seriousness, sarcasm, humor, and joy that I cannot describe accurately.
Then Hood started, and somone said, "Again? Ok." It was simply an exhausted mistake made by the band, and adds yet more flavor and character to the set. I think Dan Seidman had dozed off briefly, but he staggered to his feet when 2001 sent yet another surge of electricity through the crowd. Ok, this is absurd. Beautifully, triumphantly absurd. The glory of nature had subsumed much of Kuroda's artistic space, but orange, red, and white lights pumped as the band lit into a particularly fiery version of this musical orgasm. Suddenly, everyone was dancing again.
I chose this time to mill around the tarp a little more, taking a few pictures, basking in the improbable triumph of it all. Near the end, the band apparently experienced another stream of conciousness moment as they briefly wandered into a reggea flavor, as if to revist a parallel version of Hood that they had accidentally started earlier.
It didn't occur to me that this was the preliminary finale of the set, it just seemed like yet another song. I was absolutely shocked that they next went for Wading, one of my least favorite Phish originals. This is the only version I ever bother to listen to on tape or Cd, out of respect for the coherence of that last hour of the set, but it made our group mutter and scratch our heads.
The resumption of Meatstick caused a general wave of joy and release, as we realized that things were wrapping up. To this day, whenever I hear the beginning of a Meatstick it immediately conjures up that feeling of communal triumph, accomplishment, and shared joy that connected us all on that millenial morning in Florida. Trey said a few nice things, and then the band actually slipped into another spacey jam.
It wasn't until the first George Harrison vocals of Here Comes the Sun that everyone realized it was a record playing, and that the event was over. At this point we broke into an enormous ovation, cleebrating everything we had heard, lived, learned, and gone through in Big Cypress. Our group gathered our belongings and took a hurried picture, after which Brian said, "Ok, we're crazy", and headed for bed.
I set off alone, with my backpack and blanket. I made my way into the woods, and proceeded to lounge out in the grass in one of the most beautiful physical environments I have ever seen.
I watched a few people walk by with drums and set up in an open space in my field of vision. The drum circle slowly grew, people gathered and danced, the rhythmic tones heightened in intensity...and then slowly dissipated, as people wandered off, and finally the last members of the circle said their goodbyes and ambled away, perhaps to start another one somewhere else. And the space was open again.
I had to have been the only person who watched and listened to the entire cycle.
By the time I wandered back to some friends' campsite, they were waking up. (Along the way I had left a note on Bertolet's camper: "Hi. Jeremy Goodwin, 1/1/00"). I stretched out on the grass, and gazed at the clouds doing their little dance in the sky. We contemplated what we had experienced the night before. I said it felt like we had seen the band naked... we had all bound up together and then simultaneously unravelled. It was almost like the band had put their sanity and pysches on display, for us to marvel as they dissipated.
"I don't know what I could possibly ever need or want this band to do for me again."
They had just jumped through hoops for us for eight hours, and I felt 100% satiated. I never needed to see this band play again. What more could I possibly expect them to do for me? I felt like the entire Phish ouevre had been made complete in a way. Of course, I loved the band, and knew I'd want to see many shows in the future...but I was positive that in all honestly I didn't really *need* any more.
And thus, as I lay on the ground lazily chatting and watching the clouds, I felt an unexpected twinge of the bittersweet, realizing that we were gliding atop a plateau, a high point, from which all future Phish happenings would look back and feel the shadow.

We wanted to ride along! We wanted to get covered in sand and dust as the extraordinary "Captain Courageous" adventure companions trucked the most remote corners of the earth from Saint Petersburg to the Olympic Games in Beijing. Our friends at Rudy Project accompanied the extremely daring Man Team regaining the coveted prize at the Trans-oriental Rally.
It was certainly a legendary undertaking even without 20/20 being there. The team braved vast desert plains and dunes with dizzying grades along an itinerary that went a full 10,500 km with mixed and challenging crossings of sun-drenched oceans of sand.
They achieved the victory thanks to both bravery and courage combined with technical preparation, but you are reading it here because of added credit to the extremely high-tech Rudy Project eyeglasses that were the constant companions of these champions.
Rudy provided one of the crown jewels of its current collection: the SportMask Performance, the perfect rally companion for dealing with extreme situations. With an aerodynamic design and a gritty appearance, emphasized by the lateral Rudy Project logo, in true racing style the SportMask has an ultra-flat frame, made of Grilamid TR LX, perfect for wearing under a helmet with an adjustable nose piece in soft silicone for total comfort. The wrap-around lenses ensure a distortion-free peripheral view and are characterized by a front spacer improving lens ventilation and preventing fogging.
The Man Team confirmed: "We entered the best rally we have ever been in. Along the more than 10,500 km from Saint Petersburg in Russia, to Beijing, passing through Kazakhstan, we were really able to have a great adventure, which required a great deal of commitment, but which was also a lot of fun. Getting first place was the icing on the cake." And facing those challenges "faced" in Rudy Projects certainly helped the cause. Where do we sign up?

POM Wonderful Launches LITE POM
LOS ANGELES, CA (May 31, 2011) – POM Wonderful debuts LITE POM, a lighter, more refreshing version of POM Wonderful Pomegranate Juice that is 100% all-natural and contains no added sugar or artificial sweeteners.

LITE POM begins with pure pomegranate juice from Wonderful variety pomegranates grown and juiced by POM Wonderful in its central California orchards.

Neuroscientist V. S. Ramachandran is internationally renowned for uncovering answers to the deep and quirky questions of human nature that few scientists have dared to address. His bold insights about the brain are matched only by the stunning simplicity of his experiments - using such low-tech tools such as cotton swabs, glasses of water, and dime-store mirrors.
In Phantoms in the Brain, Dr. Ramachandran recounts how his work with patients who have bizarre neurological disorders has shed new light on the deep architecture of the brain, and what these findings tell us about who we are, how we construct our body image, why we laugh or become depressed, why we may believe in God, and how we make decisions, deceive ourselves, and dream.
Some of his most notable cases: A woman paralyzed on the left side of her body who believes she is lifting a tray of drinks with both hands offers a unique opportunity to test Freud's theory of denial. A man who insists he is talking with God challenges us to ask: Could we be "wired" for religious experience? A woman who hallucinates cartoon characters illustrates how, in a sense, we are all hallucinating, all the time.
Dr. Ramachandran's inspired medical detective work pushes the boundaries of medicine's last great frontier-the human mind-yielding new and provocative insights into the "big questions" about consciousness and the self.

Woman driver fined £100 for eating banana in traffic jam
A POLICEMAN pulled over a woman driver and fined her £100 – because she was eating a banana.
Elsa Harris was stopped while eating a banana on her way to work
Elsa Harris, 45, had begun peeling it when she stopped in traffic on her way to work.
But an officer in an unmarked car stopped in front of her and made her get out on a busy dual carriageway.
Miss Harris, a carer, was shocked when she was accused of momentarily not being in control of her vehicle by taking both hands off the wheel.
The single mother was given the fine and the option of three penalty points on her licence or paying for a driver awareness course.
Miss Harris, from Christchurch, Dorset, said: "I was dumbfounded. It's the most expensive banana I've ever had in my life.
"When the officer got out he was really angry from the offset but I was still completely unaware I had done anything wrong.
"The officer said I was driving without my hands on the wheel and that I was a danger to other drivers.
"I couldn't believe it. He put me in the back of his car like a criminal. "He treated me in a very dismissive fashion.
I was dumbfounded. It's the most expensive banana I've ever had in my life
I have never been in trouble with the police before and a warning should have sufficed.
"You get drink-drivers and people texting while they speed along.
"Surely, eating a banana in a traffic jam is not that important."
Eating while driving is not a specific offence.
However, anyone failing to operate their vehicle correctly could be committing an offence.
A Dorset Police spokesman said today that that force had been operating a tough "No Excuse" campaign against motorists flouting the law for several years.

On another, ahem, unnamed forum, I recall the thread view page had the list of users viewing the thread, and the ones who had a reply box open were italicized. The was this, ahem, unnamed poster who used to hang and watch for particular names in italics and would slap in a quick post like, "Hey, Dorkster, say something stupid!" Which, of course, would appear right above the hapless poster's post.
Apart from that (which was mildly amusing), I am not completely sure that feature had other uses, except perhaps to help you watch for pending replies, but if it is fairly easy to plug in, it might be kinda nice to have.

Shell's Aranguren: energy self-sufficiency possible but Argentina must do 'homework'
Energy self-sufficiency may be looming on Argentina's scenario, chairman of Shell Argentina Juan Aranguren said warning the South American country should "do homework" and "show judicial security signs" to investors.
"Argentina is now importing 12-13 percent of primary energy. But funny thing is that energy exists in the country in resources and all the world is talking about the potential of non-conventional hydrocarbon exploitation," Aranguren pointed out in an interview with a daily newspaper.
"If we create the conditions for investment, to turn those resources in reserves, not only will we be eliminating 12.5 billion dollars in annual energy imports but we will be also having a flow of currency that will allow to reset the value of the (peso) currency," the Shell head added warning such scenario will depend on what he called "judicial security signs."
"Everything will depend on signs of judicial security. Rather for need than virtue, Argentina will have to create that circumstance. If not, it will be unsustainable to manage an annual deficit of 12.5 billion dollars when we do not have the reserves to cope with it."
Queried about prospect in the resource-rich Vaca Muerta region in which the energy firm has thee projects, Aranguren said the quality of resources was "the same or superior to some non-conventional formations in the United States." "We are optimistic," he assured.

Wine Almost Couldn't Contain New York's Lee Campbell
Uncorking the City: Lettie Teague on Lee Campbell, Wine Director of Andrew Tarlow's Restaurant Group
It's difficult to know how to react when one of the most highly regarded wine directors in New York reveals that she really likes wine but "doesn't live it the way that some people do." Lee Campbell, the 42-year-old wine director of Andrew Tarlow's Brooklyn restaurant empire and the putative "grand dame" of that borough's wine world, thinks she could easily have "done something else" with her life.
In fact, Ms. Campbell has already done all sorts of interesting things—albeit, sometimes for...

Cambodia is one of the fastest growing countries in the world. Unexplored and undervalued, international firms such as Starbucks, Samsung, and Nike are just starting to invest in Cambodia.
Many people are off buying stocks and property in places like Thailand, thinking they've successfully diversified abroad. They're missing the far greater opportunities right next door though.
Don't get me wrong – I like Thailand and spend much of my time there. But its GDP is only growing at 3% a year. This is barely higher than the United States. Thailand's economy depends almost entirely on international money, whether from tourism or foreign direct investment.
Cambodia, in contrast, is growing by over 7% per year. Practically all other countries are revising their GDP growth downwards. Cambodia raises it upwards, exceeding its already high expectations.
Not only that, but Cambodia is less correlated with western economies since it's a frontier market. Diversification is important for investors, right?
That's why I recommend investing in Cambodia. It skipped the Asian Financial Crisis of the 1990s, missed the tech bubble of the early 2000s, and outgrew the more recent recession of 2008. The country hasn't faced a recession for over 20 years.
It probably won't have one anytime soon either. That's because, as a frontier market, Cambodia isn't as dependent on capital from other countries. It isn't reliant on more money from McDonald's to keep growing because McDonald's isn't here yet.
Furthermore, Cambodia has a source of growth which few other frontier markets do: tourism. Millions of people visit Angkor Wat, the largest religious structure in the world, each year. This number is expected to grow exponentially.
But countries like Papua New Guinea or Armenia don't have this luxury. Frontier markets can grow quickly, but often need a catalyst to propel growth. Cambodia is fortunate because it has plenty of foreign investment and tourism to fuel its continued boom.
How to Invest in Cambodia
You hopefully understand why I recommend Cambodia. Now it's time to learn the different ways to invest there.
Cambodia just barely has a stock market. In fact, there's exactly five companies listed on its stock exchange. Most of them are quasi-public corporations such as the water utility provider in the nation's capital of Phnom Penh.
Real estate in Cambodia is a better bet – if you know what you're doing. Most of the new condo projects are way overpriced. But there's great deals to be had in buying shophouse apartments in certain areas.
Just be careful when buying frontier market real estate. It's often difficult and labor intensive. Between doing market analysis in Khmer language, finding which area to invest in Cambodia, navigating through an unfamiliar legal system, and finding reliable contractors… you should live in Cambodia, at the very minimum, if you want to buy property there.
Cambodia also has opportunities in private equity and venture capital. But this is arguably even more difficult than buying real estate in the country. Again, lots of research, due diligence, and effort is needed.
Investing in Cambodia, or investing in frontier markets in general for that matter, is difficult. But there's also greater rewards to be had. Barriers to entry are a good thing if you're willing to break them down. They help keep valuations fair.
And even if you can't do the work yourself, there are usually others willing to do it for you. Property managers, investment funds, and similar businesses who already have the knowledge you need can help you out for a fee.

The Republican and Democratic Parties officially nominated their candidates last night in the State Senate race to succeed Roy M. Goodman, a Republican who has represented the 26th District on the East Side of Manhattan for 33 years.
Last night, the Republicans chose the Manhattan Assemblyman John Ravitz as its candidate. And the Democrats nominated Liz Krueger, the former director of the Community Food Resource Center. Ms. Krueger came within 200 votes of defeating Mr. Goodman in 2000.
Mr. Goodman resigned recently when he accepted an offer from Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg to become president of the United Nations Development Corporation, a state and city agency that finances building and renovation projects for the United Nations.
Another race that is expected to be hotly contested is in Staten Island, for the seat vacated by former Assemblyman Eric N. Vitaliano, a Democrat, who was elected to serve as a Civil Court judge. The Republican nominee is Matthew Mirones, who operates a company that makes prosthetic limbs. The Democratic Party has nominated James Hart, an official of the United Association of Plumbers, Pipefitters, Sprinklerfitters and Steamfitters.
The district, in the central portion of the borough, is considered one in which either candidate could win. Although Democratic registered voters outnumber Republicans, the area has been represented for years by Mr. Vitaliano, as well as Republican council members James S. Oddo and, previously, John A. Fusco.
The election will be held on Feb. 12.Continue reading the main story

By Larry Sanger (see also Wikipedia's forgotten creator )
I announced, named, and launched Wikipedia way back in January of 2001. My originating role in the project was acknowledged by Jimmy Wales later on in 2001, when he wrote, "Larry had the idea to use wiki software…" Virtually all of the news articles about the project before 2005 identified me as one of the two founders of the project, as did the project's first three press releases, all of them approved by Jimmy, of course. I managed it as "instigator" and "chief organizer" for the project's seminal first 14 months. To give you an idea of what role I had in the project, Jimmy declared, a few weeks before I left the project, that I was "the final arbiter of all Wikipedia functionality."
Since then, I've become better known as a critic of Wikipedia. But this is mostly because I am defending myself against repeated

The red chamber presided over the Deputy Senate President, Senator Ike Ekweremadu also urged the Ministry of Sports to be alive to its responsibilities by ensuring prompt payment of footballers' allowances.
Speaking on the motion, Senator Ben Bruce described the development as a disgrace, while Senator Aliyu Sabi labeled it as "embarrassing and non-sense."
Senator Oluremi Tinubu also expressed concern over the development as she described it as "most unfair."
The Super Falcons after winning AWCON title for the eight time have launched a sit-in protest at the hotel over the non-payment of their allowances and bonuses.
Despite pleas from NFF secretary-general, Sanusi Mohammed the women insisted on collecting their allowances.
The players were offered N50, 000 each but they rejected it; demanding for all their outstanding allowances.

By Marie Burns:
As I wrote in my last NYTX column, way back in 1998 and before Paul Krugman had a gig of his own at the New York Times, he wrote a scathing review of a book by Times columnist Tom Friedman. Krugman's brief review of Friedman's The Lexus and the Olive Tree was crammed with words and phrases like "very debatable," "misses the point," "shaky ground," "wrong," "certainly … wrong," "bizarre."
The conventional wisdom is that the New York Times "has this rule where you aren't allowed to call out a colleague by name when you think he or she is full of shit." Ergo, when they want to criticize one another, they must employ the "anonymous source" method. So in Paul Krugman's columns, Tom Friedman becomes a "'centrist' pundit" and David Brooks becomes a "usual suspect." As Alex Pareene of Salon showed in the linked post, Krugman's "anonymous" "pundits" and "suspects" are not hard to identify.
In his January 9 New York Times column, Friedman wrote,
I am struck by how many liberals insist on reducing carbon emissions immediately, but, on the deficit, say there is no urgency because no interest rates rises are in sight. (Emphasis added here and elsewhere.)
One of those "liberals" – in fact, the most prominent one of those "liberals" who "say there is no urgency because interest rates rises are in sight" – is Paul Krugman. Again, not hard to guess whom Friedman was dissing here.
Krugman has argued extensively that we are now in what economists call a "liquidity trap, in which big increases in the monetary base don't matter." Krugman's evidence: since 2008, the Federal Reserve has tripled the monetary base, and interest rates have remained steady. That is, the Fed "printed" a lot of money, yet there was no rise in commodity prices (generally speaking) or in interest rates; there was no inflation. Moreover, it isn't just the U.S. that has been in a liquidity trap during this period: "essentially the whole advanced world, accounting for 70 percent of world GDP at market prices, is in a liquidity trap," Krugman wrote in early 2010. We're still there. As Krugman explained to Bill Moyers last week, in a liquidity trap, the Fed "pour[s] this extra liquidity [money] into the economy and it just sits there. And that's the liquidity trap. It's a situation in which the ordinary monetary policy thing doesn't work."
There is, however, a bit of an upside to this particular trap. Krugman added:
A side consequence of that is it also means that if the government goes out and borrows more, it's not going to drive up interest rates because there's all this cash sitting out there looking for a place to go. So the rules change. And liquidity traps are really rare. I mean, we had one in the 1930s and we've had another one since 2008. And aside from that, we had one in Japan in the 1990s, and that's about it. But when they happen, boy, they change all the rules. You find yourself in a different universe for economics.
This of course allows the government to borrow at extremely low interest rates and to use that "cheap money" to employ people: teachers, engineers, construction workers. In other words, when the economy is in a liquidity trap and interest rate are at or near zero, there is little the Fed can do to pull the economy out of recession. Banks aren't lending, businesses aren't borrowing – or hiring – and consumers aren't spending. But the government can serve as "the employer of last resort." It can step in and turn the economy around by taking advantage of the low cost of borrowing, then pumping that borrowed money into teachers' and engineers' and road workers' salaries. When people are working, they are spending – and paying taxes.
Tom Friedman, who most certainly does not understand economics, just doesn't get that. You might say Friedman is in a "Pete Peterson trap": he belongs to that cadre of Very Serious People who are in the thrall of – and very often employed by – the billionaire deficit hawk Pete Peterson. As Kevin Brown writes (and others have written), Peterson
is now beginning his fourth decade of arguing that there is no alternative to enacting 'entitlement reform" (read: cut Social Security and Medicare) and 'tax reform' (read: raise regressive taxes and lower progressive ones) in the name of curbing the country's 'unsustainable' debt and deficits. An essential and successful element of the Peterson strategy is to create an environment where it is widely if not universally believed that there is no alternative to his vision.
I don't recall that Krugman has ever criticized another New York Times columnist by name in his regular Times columns. But he evidently does not feel he has to follow the reputed Times "rule" when writing on his New York Times blog. So yesterday in a blogpost, he "respectfully" let Friedman have it:
… you [might] … say that liberals concerned about the future of the environment should be equally concerned about the long-run budget outlook. Tom Friedman recently made that argument, so it's worth pointing out, respectfully, why I disagree. And I think that explaining what's wrong here helps make the broader point that we are spending far too much time worrying about long-term budget projections.
… the deficit scolds are pushing for … things like a gradual rise in the retirement age and a change in the formulas used to compute benefits – things that will cut future rather than present outlays. Or to put it differently, they aren't really trying to cut debt; they're simply trying to lock us in now to the spending cuts they think we'll eventually have to make anyway. And they never, as far as I can tell, really ask why it's important to do this now.
This, you'll notice, is right in line with Kevin Brown's analysis of the Pete Peterson trap – a web of Very Serious People who live in "an environment where it is widely if not universally believed that there is no alternative to [Peterson's] vision." Using Social Security as an example, Krugman writes in his post,
So the threat, if you like, is that future benefits will fall short of what people now expect. To avert this threat, the usual suspects insist that we must gradually reduce the program's generosity. That is, in order to guard against cuts in future benefits we must … cut future benefits. Huh?
That's right. The deficit hawks' argument does not make one iota of sense. E. J. Dionne of the Washington Post made the same point a short while ago about Medicare and Medicaid benefits: "Is it either sensible or humane to decide in 2013 on the basis of such limited knowledge to toss future seniors and low-income Medicaid recipients under the bus?"
The reader can sense Krugman's becoming more irritated as he writes his post. He may have begun by "respectfully" disagreeing with Friedman, but by the end of the post, he is seething. His tone is dismissive and sarcastic:
… there's a pretty good case for letting the future of entitlements take care of itself. It's not a slam-dunk case, but the case for urgency right now is quite weak, and nothing at all like the case that we need to stop pouring all that CO2 into the atmosphere as soon as possible.
Now, you might ask whether it's really possible that the whole Serious consensus about the budget is based on such weak logical underpinnings. Don't the great and the good think things through before getting all committed to their views?
Hey, who said I don't have a sense of humor?
Krugman's post reminds me of John Belushi describing the weather to shut-ins. "R-E-S-P-E-C-T"? Not so much.
In the blogpost, Krugman does not specifically cover Friedman's alleged concern for our economic future. But in Krugman's view, what Friedman proposes would more likely hurt rather than help the long-term outlook for the economy. As Krugman told Moyers, "… there's a pretty good case, actually a pretty strong case, that if you think about the long run fiscal impact, spending more right now is actually positive even in terms of the long run budget situation because a stronger future economy will mean stronger revenue down the pike."
Indeed, in his regular column today, titled "The Dwindling Deficit," Krugman demonstrates that the deficit is on track to take care of itself:
Recently the nonpartisan Center on Budget and Policy Priorities took Congressional Budget Office projections for the next decade and updated them to take account of two major deficit-reduction actions: the spending cuts agreed to in 2011, amounting to almost $1.5 trillion over the next decade; and the roughly $600 billion in tax increases on the affluent agreed to at the beginning of this year. What the center finds is a budget outlook that … isn't great but isn't terrible: It projects that the ratio of debt to G.D.P., the standard measure of America's debt position, will be only modestly higher in 2022 than it is now.
The center calls for another $1.4 trillion in deficit reduction, which would completely stabilize the debt ratio; President Obama has called for roughly the same amount. Even without such actions, however, the budget outlook for the next 10 years doesn't look at all alarming. Now, projections that run further into the future do suggest trouble, as an aging population and rising health care costs continue to push federal spending higher. But … why, exactly, should we believe that it's necessary, or even possible, to decide right now how we will eventually address the budget issues of the 2030s?
The fact is that deficit scolds – whether they be billionaires or CEOs or members of Congress or New York Times columnists – really have an entirely different goal: to cut programs that benefit poor and middle-class Americans. Most of these scolds are very well-to-do themselves. Friedman, who married an heiress, is a millionaire many times over. He and Mrs. Friedman live in an embarrassing 11,000-square-foot mini-Versailles (how green is that?). If not rich themselves, deficit hawks work in the service of the rich – lobbying firms fund their Congressional campaigns, billionaires fund their think tanks and those policy forums where they sit around scowling and grumbling about the "out-of-control deficit." Some of these hawks, as Kevin Brown suggests, may really believe that deficits, even in a time of recession, are immoral. Some may really believe in trickle-down economics – the completely-discredited idea that cutting taxes on the rich will float all boats. But their overriding prescription – absolutely the only way they can think of to reduce the deficit or stimulate the economy– is to take from the poor and give to the rich. Not surprisingly, when Republicans control the Congress and the presidency, no matter how deeply they claim to abhor deficit spending, somehow they always manage to vote for it.
Watch what they do, not what they say.
And you might want to watch Paul Krugman, too. The title of Krugman's post sounds like an 18th-century philosophical tract: "On the Non-equivalence of Greenhouse Gases and Entitlement Spending." But the content of the post makes clear what he really thinks: "Tom Friedman Is an Ignoramous."

text: I am almost ready to root my Eris. I am wondering if I will be able to accomplish the following: 1. Gain space so I can download more Apps. - I am down to 9 MB of internal memory even after cleaning up various programs, dumping cache, etc. 2. Totally eliminate the HTC phone dialer. Under 1.5 you could set a default dialer, since 2.1 this is not possible. If so, would I be able to do these things without changing the ROM? What ROMs would you recommend and where can I find them? Thanks.

The 2009 BET Awards were supposed to be a tribute to the memory of Michael Jackson, but after being around for so many years this network still can't seem to get things right. In honoring the King of Pop they had Jamie Foxx give a comedic opening in retro Michael Jackson wear and showing off his cameltoe before doing a full stage moonwalk. They had Ne-Yo singing The Lady In My Life, but when they could have tried to get the likes of Mariah Carey, Chris Brown, and Justin Timberlake to join in honoring the legend they didn't. Their are even rumors that Chris Brown wanted to be on hand to perform a tribute, but was blocked by Jay-Z from doing so. Janet Jackson did give a moving speech thanking the fans for all of their love and support.

Darius Build
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Darius everyone says his ult is op it is but sometimes its not his most damage is his Q is his most important skill it does so much damage.
I get tanky runes so i can own my lane early game and get that sustain for mid to late game.
Same reason as the runes so i can own early game and have sustain for mid to late.
The items are great mid to late you will do so much damage and be able to survive team fights and really carry your team to victory (if fed ofcourse).
Skill Sequence
Skill Sequence:
As i said in the introduction his Q is his best move most of the time so i like to max that first. the W is good to level up next since you will do with the sheen from the trinity force so much damage and i dont feel the E is good to level up 2nd yes it reduces the cooldown and the armor pen but because of the rune's(and masteries) you dont really need it.
Summoner Spells
Summoner Spells:
Flash is really needed since he doesnt really have a good escape mechanic and the exhaust just helps you get early kills to get fed and carry ignite is also a good choice for kinda the same reason.
Pros / Cons
A really good farmer cus of his Q.
Can do alot of a damage cus of his Q W and ult.
Great in team fights cus of his E and ult.
Really has no escape mechanic.
Has quite a slow basic slow movement speed.

Crusch Lulu (クルシュ・ルールー)Crusch is a white albino lizardman and acting chieftain of the Red Eye. Lulu was born an albino which normally would mean that in the lizardmen community she would be abandoned. In Lulu's case however, her parents decided to raise her even with this genetic fault. Over the time, she proved herself to be a strong practitioner of magic.
When the famine in the Wetlands occurred, Red Eye managed to stave off extinction through fratricide. However unable to bear with the guilt and shame, Crusch led a rebellion against the current chief. Her rebellion was a success and the mantle of leadership was passed down to her making her an equal to another tribe's chief.
Lulu is the strongest of all the magic casters that exist within the lizardmen tribes. Her magical focus lies in controlling nature and summoning spirits to assist her in different ways. However due to her albino nature, Crusch burns easily in the sun, thus she is very weak against sunlight, forcing her to wear a ridiculous bush outfit during the day.
She later falls in love with Zaryusu Shasha.
