Lifetime Vivitar USA Warranty
Vivitar 58mm UV Glass Filter
Protect your lens and enhance your photos
The Vivitar UV Filter is a multi-purpose glass filter that is designed to optimize your photography experience. UV filters block out unwanted ultraviolet light and prevents the UV "fogging/haze" effect, which can result in inaccurate color and lower the apparent sharpness. This filter is also ideal for protecting your valuable lens from scratches and dust, and it can be kept on the lens at all times.
Key Features:
58mm Pro Tulip Hard Lens Hood with:
1 Year Manufacturer USA Warranty
58mm Pro Hard Lens Hood
Protect your lens and get increased image quality.
The 58mm Pro Hard Lens Hood is primarily designed to prevent unwanted stray light (flare) from entering the lens by extending and shading the end of the lens. In addition, since the end of the lens is extended, you also get the added benefit of some extra protection from accidental impact.
Screw-mount lens hoods, such as this 58mm, are designed to screw right onto your lens or filter. A rear locking ring allows the user to rotate the hood 360 degrees.
Vivitar BG-E18 Multi-Power Battery Grip for Canon Rebel T6s & T6i DSLR Camera with:

Construction from durable, lightweight aluminum, these attachments easily fit to the front of most small-diameter lenses with a filter thread, and are themselves threaded to accept filters for further creative effects and picture control. The all-glass lens elements are fully coated to reduce reflections and flare, and will match the optical quality of today's high-performance digital cameras and camcorders. Each lens is supplied with front and rear lens caps, and soft case for protection.
These lenses will fit the following filter mounts: 49mm, 52mm, 55mm, 58mm
NOTE: These add-on lenses work best with standard focal length lenses, such as 18-55mm lenses included with most DSLR cameras.
Precision Design DSLR350 High Power Auto Flash with:
6 Year Precision Design USA Warranty
Precision Design DSLR350 High Power Flash
A powerful, affordable, universal DSLR flash solution.
Every photographer knows that a quality flash unit is an essential component to taking great pictures. Built-in flashes simply don't have enough power to properly illuminate most subjects, and typically produce harsh shadows, red-eye, and other undesirable effects. An external flash offers far more power and versatility, resulting in consistently better pictures!
The Precision Design DSLR350 is a high-power flash unit that is the ideal companion to your existing digital camera outfit, and can be used with a wide variety of camera models and provides exceptional light coverage, at a price that doesn't break the bank! The DSLR350 features three flash modes -- a full manual mode, plus two auto modes that detect the level of ambient light in front of the flash to help provide the correct amount of illumination.
The zoom function allows you to light distant subjects, and the bounce head tilts 90-degree and swivels 270-degree to give you full creative control. A built-in retractable wide panel and reflector panel provide additional versatility. In addition, this flash is powered by four AA batteries (alkaline or Ni-MH) and has a recycling time of 0.5-6 seconds.
Precision Design FD5 Flash Bounce Diffuser with:
1 Year Precision Design USA Warranty
Precision Design Flash Bounce Diffuser for DSLR350, DSLR450V
& Pro 500
See the difference a simple bounce flash diffuser makes!
This Precision Design Bounce Flash Diffuser creates a diffused bare bulb effect, and is designed specifically to fit the Precision Design DSLR350, DSLR450V & Pro 500 Flash Units. It gives even coverage across the entire frame, and works flawlessly with lenses from 15mm to 200mm in the 35mm format (as well as other formats).
A bounce flash diffuser is easy to use and attaches to your flash in seconds with a snug, custom fit, and not a single piece of velcro or other adhesive. Designed for years of service with out the bulk of some other diffusers, it is small enough to fit easily into your gadget bag or pocket, yet it makes a huge difference in all your photos.
Precision Design RC-6 Wireless Shutter Release Remote Control for Canon Cameras with:
1 Year Precision Design USA Warranty
Precision Design RC-6 Wireless Shutter Release Remote Control for Canon Cameras

Key Features:
Precision Design SD/SDHC & MicroSD HC Card Reader with:
1 Year Precision Design USA Warranty

Easily transfer files from your SD or microSD memory card.

It provides fast transfer speeds, universal USB 2.0 connectivity, and easy plug-and-play installation. It is compatible with both Windows and Mac, and requires no external power.
Key Features:
Precision Design 6-Piece Camera & Lens Cleaning Kit with:
1 Year Precision Design USA Warranty
Precision Design 6-Piece Lens & Digital SLR Cleaning Kit
Essential items for the proper maintenance of your equipment.
It's obvious that the cleaner the lens and camera sensor, the sharper your pictures will be. Dirt, dust, and fingerprints will degrade the image quality of even the finest optics. However, it's equally important to avoid using incorrect cleaning materials which can permanently damage your photo equipment.
This 6-piece cleaning kit contains everything you'll ever need to properly clean your lenses and digital SLR camera, including an air blower, soft brush, cleaning solution, lens tissues, cotton swabs, and a microfiber cloth. Also includes a soft carrying pouch.
Precision Design 8 SD / 2 MicroSD Memory Card Case with:
1 Year Precision Design USA Warranty
Precision Design Memory Card Case
Secure your memory cards and protect your digital photos.
The Precision Design Memory Card Case provides protection and durability where it counts, and keeps up to 8 SecureDigital (SD) cards safe from impacts, moisture and other hazards.
This tough plastic case also includes two microSD card holders (shaped like standard SD cards) that can be used to securely store these especially small memory cards.
Precision Design Universal LCD Screen Protectors with:

Indie Burger
1034 W. Belmont Ave. 773-857-7777
This quick-serve burger joint sets itself apart from the chains with third-pound patties of organic beef, thick-cut fries and, as a nod to its "indie" nature, band posters and a schedule of upcoming concerts at music venues around town.
DMK Burger Bar
2954 N. Sheffield Ave. 773-360-8686
At this lively bar from restaurateurs Michael Kornick and David Morton, thin patties of grass-fed beef are cooked medium, so double up if you're craving a taller stack. Topping choices are numbered, ranging from the smoky #1 (aged cheddar, bacon, charred red onions and barbecue sauce) to the classic #8 (lettuce, tomato, raw onion, pickles, mayo and your choice of cheese).
Rockit Burger Bar
3700 N. Clark St. 773-645-4400
When the owners of Rockit Bar & Grill's Wrigleyville location realized that a majority of customers were ordering burgers, they revamped the menu to put the spotlight on this beefy favorite. Options include the award-winning Rockit Burger (topped with brie, date aioli and crispy shallots) as well as unique creations such as the Johnny Apple Burger, made with applewood- smoked bacon, pecan aioli and apple slices.
Select Cut Steak House
2808 N. Halsted St. 773-244-1500
There's just one burger on the menu at this neighborhood steakhouse, and it's a hefty cheese-topped classic with a half-pound patty made from steak trimmings.
Beckett's Public House
3210 N. Lincoln Ave. 773-880-9620
This wood-paneled hangout has the look of an Irish pub, but its menu of burgers trots the globe. Go Tex Mex with toppings such as pepper jack, cilantro-lime mayo and sweet corn salsa, or lean French with cognac-braised onions, brie and truffled mushrooms.

Twitter's Got Jokes: Funniest Reactions To Paris Hilton Joining Cash Money
Birdman and Cash Money/Young Money have pulled off some pretty surprising dealings over the years. So much so that #signedtoyoungmoney once became a trending topic (as in: "Jesus just #signedtoyoungmoney"). The latest YMCMB inductee is Paris Hilton, as confirmed by Birdman. Despite her music history, not everyone's convinced of the socialite-turned-singer's talent, so the news has Twitter rolling. Check out the funniest reactions.

March 17, 2008: Audacity and Google Summer of Code (GSoC) 2008
We are very happy to announce that Audacity has been accepted as a mentoring organization for the Google Summer of Code 2008! GSoC 'offers student developers stipends to write code for various open source projects'.
We are now seeking student participants. As we wrote in our application: At student selection stage, we look for evidence that the student has a real interest in our project, 'Do they actually use it?' rather than just choosing some project that is part of GSoC.
If you are an interested student, please follow these steps:
- Review the GSoC FAQ, especially from 'How does a student apply?'.
- Make sure you are eligible.
- On the Audacity Wiki, check the project ideas page.
- If you find an interesting idea, or have one of your own, then check our GSoC FAQ.
- Then be in touch with us -- far better to discuss plans with us before applying.
If you know any students who might be interested, possibly those already involved in music/audio research, please point them to our website for this information.

Wondering how to save video attachments you get in Email to your iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad camera roll? In previous versions of iOS, while you could easily tap-and-hold to save pictures in Mail, Safari, Messages and other built-in-apps, trying to do the same with movies -- movies mailed or messaged from other iPhones and iPads! -- did nothing. (Except frustrate me. Seriously. I almost dented my iPhone trying!)
iOS 5 changes that. Now, just like with pictures, all you have to do to save a video is:
- Open the email, messages, etc. that you received the movie in
- Tap on the icon or preview and hold on it
- When the Save Video button pops up, Tap it!
That's it. The video will now be saved to your Camera Roll for you to use as you so wish.
For more on iOS 5, check out our massive iOS 5 walkthrough. Have any other great tips for sharing or saving video on your iPhone or iPad? Let us know!

Saving Face
You know that secret shiver of delight you get every time a woman you know only remotely succeeds brilliantly at something? I'm kind of starting to like it.
I'm in the car with Ellie, en route to the Charlottesville airport. It's been six months since the demise of my so-called media career. I soldiered on with Splitigation for a few weeks after that last Spencer Buckley appearance, but my posts had started to get weedy and tendentious and you could basically watch the traffic drop by the thousand every time I wrote the words "it's complicated." Eventually, even Marina stopped reading and I knew it was time to pull the plug. But then that's the nice thing about the blogosphere. You can just disappear one day and nobody notices. It's like graduating from college. The world just swallows up the empty spaces you've left behind. BarCzar hired a college sophomore with a sexting blog.
Ellie is kicking the back of my seat and singing "Single Ladies." Sometimes I miss her early mime days. Danny left us for med school, full of apologies for Quid Pro's rear-guard action against my honesty and integrity but secretly relieved to be done with all the recent drama of life at Hirshblatt Manor. I wish I could tell you that Amanda herself was busted shortly after the law school event for running a high-priced prostitution ring or selling Adderall to undergrads, but I hear she made good grades, got a great job offer, and will win a coveted appellate clerkship. Law school's holy trinity. She'll learn.
"If you liked it then you should have put a ring on it," Ellie's belting out behind me. Why is it that little girls can go from Pull-Ups to pole dancers in under a year? Sam has had such a good long run of toddlerhood and little-boyhood. Meanwhile, my Ellie is already begging for a navel piercing and Miley Cyrus concert tickets. Do all second children grow up so much faster? Or is just girls?
Marina won a major national design award with a nice big whomp of cash to go with it. She flirted briefly with the idea of buying a winery, but we settled for a long weekend at a spa that serves mojitos. Bob is great. Boring as always. He told a joke in class and nobody laughed so he put it on the final exam. He and I both learned something huge about Marina this year. She may be made of feathers, but somehow she's still our rock.
In that same spirit I can't confess that I resolved my own career confusion by launching a lucrative home-based organic Spam company or opening a daycare in my basement. I did start co-teaching a clinic at the law school with Kate on women and domestic violence. It has been a huge amount of work at the start but we're hoping it will get easier as we figure out what we're doing. Every time I start a sentence with the words "men are pigs," Kate has my express written consent to poke me in the upper arm with a spork. It still happens with some regularity. I've learned more from her and from Cole about the real failings of the family law system than I could have thought possible. And it has less to do with sexist old judges and money-grubbing expert witnesses than I knew. These are mainly good people, charged with doing truly terrible work. There's just no sane way to break a home into two and no sane reason to force it together. Divorce court is about ripping out the seams after two people have already torn the garment to shreds. Show me a system that can do that sanely and humanely.
Every once in a long while I get a call from some cable TV booker who's forgotten to take me off her contacts list. I decline. Now that I have so much more to do every day, I'm a lot less busy. I have two life rules for myself: I no longer treat my children as though they are the objects standing between me and my ability to sort and put away their toys. And three times a day I take a deep, deep breath and ask myself: Am I doing anything stupid right now? Much of the time, the answer is no. When it's yes, I call Cole. He also has my explicit written authorization to poke me in the upper arm with a spork.
We stop at the arrivals door and I turn around in my seat to face Ellie. "Honey?" I wheedle. "Please don't sing the part about a man on your hips when Franma comes out." I think for a minute. "Or about the tight jeans?"
Yup. Frances is in town. She's come down much more often since things went off the rails last winter. Especially those first few days when I couldn't get out of bed. While it's true that my mom's version of quality time with her grandkids still consists mainly of reading to them from antitrust treatises with the occasional interruptions to yell at Fox News, she has been a lifeline. I used to say my mother was wise about the law but useless about life, but she's proven more thoughtful than I am at both. I still think she's wrong about most things, including Hillary. But I don't think she's to blame for any of it.
"Franma!" shrieks Ellie, as my mother appears on the sidewalk next to the car. I hop out to help her with her bags and she kisses me and compliments my boots. "Thanks," I smile. I may have ditched the career but I most definitely kept the shoes.
"How was your flight?" I ask, hoisting her suitcase into the trunk.
"Typical. Nasty. Brutish. Short. Where's Sam?"
"We're getting him next." My mother climbs in on the passenger side and turns around to tickle Ellie's feet. "Hi General," she grins. She's taken to calling Ellie "General" in the hopes that my daughter will one day be one of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
"Hi Franma!" hoots Ellie. "Listen: Here's a man that makes me then takes me. And delivers me to a destiny, to infinity and beyond."
My mother shoots me a look. I shrug sheepishly, turn the key in the ignition, and point the car toward the airport exit.
"How's Cole's appeal going?"
I smile. I tell her that Cole is poised to make new custody law in Virginia, and he couldn't be happier about it. It may be the most important thing he'll ever do in his career and nobody will remember his name for it, but he really could change the way judges look at relocation cases. It's a start.
Cole still finds the act of moving his dirty ice cream dish from sink to dishwasher completely baffling. But he's also stopped blasting through the house like the Tasmanian Devil 15 minutes before bedtime. He cooks dinner sometimes. He's taken over the grocery shopping. It's still nothing like an equal division of labor. But I no longer have the sneaking fear that I am his maid or his mother. You want to know what I told him about Whit? I told him everything. On closer inspection, my own e-mails to Whit were mainly just juvenile and pretentious but not improper. The worst part was explaining how I felt about Whit's. Then we had some bad days and then some mediocre weeks and after a month there wasn't much left to say, so we moved on. It helps that I never laid eyes on Whit Campbell. Someday when I'm brave enough to finally joke about it I'll tell Cole my burgeoning suspicion that Whit looks like Carrot Top crossed with Kim Jong-il.
As I turn left on Hydraulic, I tell Frances about how hard we've been working to get the law school clinic off the ground, and she asks the right questions about funding and administrative support. Then I tell her we've had a string of UVA babysitters in to watch the kids while I'm working but we still haven't found anyone perfect. The kids seem to do an enormous amount of "baking" with canned frosting and watching Tom and Jerry cartoons. Frances reminds me that I grew up that way and I turned out OK. I open my mouth to argue with her but I realize she's right.
Frances turns to Ellie in back and asks her, once again, what she wants to be when she grows up. "How about a diplomat, Ellie? Or a forensic accountant?"
"Counsel, you're leading the witness," I grumble. As I pull into the pickup lane at Sam's school, I can see him standing out front holding what looks to be a dinosaur diorama the size of a small parking structure.
"Come on Ellie," coaxes my mother, one last time. "What do you think you want to be someday?"
"Oh, anything," shrugs Ellie.
I smile. "Anything," not "everything." It's a start.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Executives at U.S. weapons makers on Tuesday said their meeting on Monday with Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel was a "positive continuation" of a dialogue begun by his predecessor, Leon Panetta.
About 50 defense industry executives met with Hagel and other top Pentagon leaders to discuss mandatory, across-the-board defense spending cuts that took effect on March 1 and other issues facing the arms industry.
"Bottom line, our CEOs came away from the meeting with renewed confidence in the shared concern that protecting the defense industrial base is an imperative that goes hand in hand with protecting America's national security," said Chip Sheller, spokesman for the Aerospace Industries Association.
AIA, the largest defense industry trade group, the National Defense Industrial Association and the Professional Services hosted the meeting, which included executives from big weapons makers, smaller companies and service providers.
"Secretary Hagel conveyed his commitment to open dialogue with the defense industry as both corporations and the department deal with fiscal constraints," said Pentagon spokesman George Little in a statement about the meeting.
He said Hagel underscored his commitment to preserving a strong and healthy industrial base. "He also expressed his strong support for expanding defense trade with allies and partners around the world and commended corporations for their veterans hiring initiatives," Little said.
Lockheed Martin Corp, Northrop Grumman Corp and other defense companies last week reported strong earnings and margins even as revenues began to taper off after a decade of sharp growth linked to the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

At CONTEXT Art Miami, a California Gallery Celebrates 40 Years, Featuring Venus in Ferrari Red
Kimber Berry's vibrant installations and mixed-media works on canvas grapple with living in an over-stimulated, social media obsessed, and visually saturated society. Raised amidst "over the top advertising and the glitz of Hollywood" in her native Los Angeles, Berry is conscious of the increasingly blurred lines between reality and illusion, and her work exists in the liminal space between the two. She creates "Liquid Landscapes" by photographing paint, digitizing and manipulating the images, and then embedding them onto a surface shared with actual paint. Her installations likewise form immersive, kaleidoscopic environments, oozing off the canvas onto surrounding walls and floor. They suggest a synthetically hued underwater-scape of coral reefs. "The fluidity of paint and the brush stroke act as narrative tools to recreate the psychological compression of stimuli found in our society," she describes.

The Green Bay Packers have plenty of decisions to make on offense over the course of this winter.
Wide receiver Donald Driver has called it quits, tight end Jermichael Finley's future is hazy and Greg Jennings likely has caught his last pass from Aaron Rodgers.
NFL.com's Ian Rapoport told "NFL Total Access" on Wednesday he would "be surprised if Jennings returned to Green Bay," based on talks he's had with people around the league.
So what's next for the 29-year-old receiver?
Rapoport mentioned the Minnesota Vikings as a possible landing spot. Beyond adding intrigue to the annual Vikings-Packers wars, the addition of Jennings would give quarterback Christian Ponder a serious threat across from Percy Harvin.
But a move to the Packers' NFC North rival might not be Jennings' only option.
"In fact, one possibility for Jennings is going to (the Miami Dolphins) to play for his old (offensive cocordinator), Joe Philbin," Rapoport said.
Rapoport noted that Jennings recently staged an interview with a Miami radio station, and said, "Hey, Joe, Remember me?"
Jennings isn't likely to command a premier contract after struggling through this season with a host of injuries, but his productive track record will garner attention. The Dolphins need targets for Ryan Tannehill, and Jennings is a known commodity for Philbin.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Barack Obama plans to ask Congress for about $50 billion in emergency spending to help rebuild states pounded by Superstorm Sandy, the New York Times reported on Wednesday.
The extra spending would come even as Obama, a Democrat, is struggling with Republican lawmakers over the federal deficit. The figure is well below what states are seeking to repair damage from the October 29 storm.
Citing administration and congressional officials briefed on the discussions, the Times said the final sum was still in flux, but should range from $45 billion to $55 billion.
A White House official told Reuters: "The administration is working closely with our partners in the states and in Congress, and is in the process of developing a request for a supplemental, but that process has not been completed and it would be premature to speculate on a specific number."
New York, New Jersey and Connecticut are seeking a combined $82 billion in federal aid to clean up and restore damage as well as to upgrade infrastructure to prepare for storms.
Obama's coordinator for Sandy recovery, Housing and Urban Development Secretary Shaun Donovan, told a Senate subcommittee that the spending proposal would be sent to Congress this week.
Donovan declined to comment on its size. Administration officials were trying to determine what damage and rebuilding should be covered with federal aid, he said.
The proposal will include measures to help strengthen infrastructure to be able to deal with storms, Donovan said.
"For about every dollar that we invest in mitigation, we get $4 back in avoided costs over time. That is something that we have to recognize as we go in," he told the Homeland Security subpanel of the Senate Appropriations Committee.

In agreement with Marco Arment? I shall quickly venture outside and inform myself of the possibility of catching a fleeting glimpse of an avian sus scrofa domesticus. "The Mac App Store is in significant danger of becoming an irrelevant, low-traffic flea market where buyers rarely venture for serious purchases. And I bet that's not what Apple had in mind at all." There's an issue with the Mac App Store: Apple runs the danger of chasing most serious applications away from the store. While I would personally consider this to be a big win for computing, I'm sure Apple doesn't exactly see it that way.

Frei went for the hand of god at the end there
Wasn't as bad as the England game, but it wasn't much good either. There were quite a number of chances for both sides, but about 5 minutes in I realised I'd tipped it wrong and 0-0 was likely, both teams looked really lacklustre going forward. Zidane had a pretty good first half, Henry wasn't too bad but his finishing wasn't up to scratch for France once again, and Switzerland were generally hopeless going forward.
Two players could have been given red cards in injury time, particularly Frei who attempted to score with a deliberate handball for mine.
It's cold on the outside they say
But the cold leaves you clear while the heat leaves a haze

Its 2002 all over again, France seemed to lack inspiration even with the presence of Zidane & the talisman Henry. They should qualify but i don't expect them go go far in this tournament.
Don't want to support Scaly's argument but Henry failed once again.

Claude Giroux, who leads the NHL with 39 points, will be sidelined indefinitely with a concussion, the Flyers announced.
"Claude reported not feeling very good today. Over the past few days, his symptoms have gradually gotten worse," GM Paul Holmgren said in a statement.
Holmgren contradicted the statement he realeased Monday, saying Giroux was "continuing to feel better."
Giroux was accidentally kneed to the back of the head by teammate Wayne Simmonds in Saturday's 5-2 win over Tampa Bay.
With Giroux sidelined, 19-year-old rookie Sean Couturier will get a chance to dispaly his offensive skills on the top line, centering Jaromir Jar and Scott Hartnell.
Giroux is the second Flyer with a concussion; Brayden Schenn also has one, and Chris Pronger is experiencing concussion-like symptoms. Pronger will be evaluated by two concussion doctors in Pittsburgh on Wednesday.
Schenn was scheduled to skate after the regulars had a workout Tuesday morning at the Verizon Center. There is not timetable for his return.
* * *
The injury-plagued Flyers' five-game winning streak will be in severe jeopardy when they face Washington on Tuesday night at the Verizon Center.
The Flyers will be without their top offensive player, Giroux (39 points, best in NHL) and their best defender, Pronger.
Washington's Alex Ovechkin has 37 points (22 goals, 15 assist) in career 23 games against the Flyers. The Caps have won two straight.
This is the first meeting between the Eastern Conference rivals in D.C. this season. The Caps won at the WFC, 5-2, on Oct. 20. In that game, Ovechkin scored a pair of goals, and three of the Caps' goals deflected off a Flyer.
Goalie Ilya Bryzgalov will start for the Flyers and face Tomas Vokoun. Bryz left Saturday's win over Tampa Bay with a lower-body injury, but practiced Monday.

NEW YORK (AP) — Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly assailed a federal judge's finding of racial discrimination and demand for changes to his department's stop and frisk practice, telling a Sunday news show that minority communities will be "the losers" if the ruling isn't overturned.
During interviews on three different shows, Kelly also raised questions about the judge's call to try outfitting officers with tiny video cameras. Throughout, he faulted the judge's reasoning and defended the New York Police Department's use of stop and frisk as legal and life-saving.
"The losers in this, if this case is allowed to stand, are people who live in minority communities," he said on CBS' "Face the Nation." He noted that 97 percent of shooting victims are black or Hispanic, reasoned that similar demographics apply if a stop deters a killing and added that there have been more than 7,300 fewer killings in the 11 full years of Mayor Michael Bloomberg's tenure so far than in the 11 years before.
"Things are going right here in New York. And this decision certainly has the potential of overturning it," Kelly said on ABC News' "This Week with George Stephanopoulos."
If stop and frisk were abandoned, "no question about it —violent crime will go up," he said on NBC's "Meet the Press."
Over the past decade, police have stopped, questioned and sometimes patted down about 5 million people; 87 percent were black or Hispanic, groups that make up 54 percent of the city population. About 10 percent of the stops spur an arrest or summons. Police find weapons a fraction of the time.
U.S. District Judge Shira Scheindlin declared Monday that at least 200,000 stops were made without reasonable suspicion and that the NYPD's practice is intentionally racially biased. The city plans to appeal.
Kelly said Sunday that Scheindlin's ruling rested on mistaken logic: The racial and ethnic makeup of those stopped should be compared to and reliably mirrors that of crime suspects, not the population at large, Kelly said. The judge called that approach wrong "because the stopped population is overwhelmingly innocent — not criminal."
Kelly and Bloomberg have made the same point before, and civil rights and minority advocates have deplored it, particularly after Bloomberg said in June that "we disproportionately stop whites too much and minorities too little."
Kelly's remarks Sunday brought a rebuke from NAACP President Benjamin Jealous.
"Just because there are more murders in our community doesn't mean that you can treat all of us like we are guilty," Jealous said on "Meet the Press." ''... He's just way off base."
Scheindlin appointed a monitor to oversee various changes, including a one-year test that could put video cameras in more than 1,000 officers' lapels or eyeglasses.
Kelly suggested Sunday the cameras could be problematic when police respond to domestic arguments or when someone wants to provide confidential information.

NY expanding quarantine to fight emerald ash borer

NY expanding quarantine to fight emerald ash borer
Beetle discovered in 2002 in Michigan
New York will expand a quarantine on ash wood products across most of the southern part of the state to combat the spread of the invasive emerald ash borer.
The beetle's larvae have destroyed tens of millions of trees as it's moved steadily east from Michigan, where it was discovered in 2002.
The state has banned untreated firewood from entering New York and forbidden moving it more than 50 miles from its source within the state since 2008 as it's tried to hinder the beetle and other pests. It's also imposed local quarantines regulating movement of ash products.
The new quarantine will take effect May 1 in all or parts of 22 counties south of the Thruway. Rockland, Westchester, Nassau and Suffolk counties and New York City aren't included.

The daughter of Owen County Sheriff Zemer Hammond has been arrested after she allegedly attempted to shoot her father.
Heather Hammond, 37, was arrested Thursday by Kentucky State Police Post 5 Trooper Dave Roberts.
According to a press release, preliminary investigation shows Heather Hammond allegedly pointed a loaded weapon at her father while at his home in Corinth. When she attempted to shoot, the weapon jammed and would not fire.
Kentucky State Police Post 5 Public Affairs Officer Brad Arterburn said the incident reportedly took place Oct. 5, but was not disclosed until a later date.
Heather Hammond is being charged with attempted murder and wanton endangerment. According to the Carroll County Detention Center's website, where she is being lodged, she is also charged with disorderly conduct.
Trooper Roberts is leading the ongoing investigation.
Zemer Hammond's son, Joshua Hammond, was arrested and charged with murder, first-degree robbery, first-degree assault and tampering with physical evidence after he and two other men allegedly strangled a Frankfort man to death before dumping his body along the Interstate 64 east-bound ramp at U.S. 127 in Frankfort. Joshua Hammond is lodged at the Franklin County Regional Jail on a $500,000 full cash bond.

Hello everyone. Just purchased a 2017 Mitsubishi Mirage GT. I've been driving a friend's 2017 G4 Mirage basic trim and was seeing 40ish MPG while traveling 70MPH but I'm only barely gettinf 34mpg. Theirs has approximately 12k miles on it. We both have CVT's
Under the same driving conditions shouldn't I be getting the same mileage? Is this due to engine break-in period? I'm hoping I didn't make a poor decision as the Hatchback version was shown to have superior mpg than the sedan

text: Tonight the Panthers will take on one of the top teams in the league in the New York Islanders. Florida, coming off a bad 4-1 loss to the Dallas Stars, looks to get back on the path they were on before that game when they had won two straight without conceding a goal. Expect to see Tomas Vokoun between the pipes again tonight. He should be opposed by Rick DiPietro. The Islanders are off to a hot start, going 4-1-2 which is good for 10 points and second in the conference. Early season wins are huge for any team and the Panthers want to get back on the winning end of things if they don't want to dig themselves an early season hole in the standings (they're currently in 14th place). The Panthers will need to put the Stars game behind them and get back to how they were playing prior to that loss, particularly in the 6-0 win against the Lightning last week where they were clearly the better team. If they can put together another effort like that tonight they should wrap up this three game home stretch with a 2-1 record. The game starts at 7 PM tonight. Post anything game related here.

COLUMBUS, Ohio - Wesley scored twice in the final 4:39 to defeat Capital 42-21 behind 361 yards and four touchdowns from Justin Sottilare (Columbia, Md./Oakland Mills).
The Crusaders (1-2) pulled to within a touchdown with a 13-yard touchdown pass from Kory Hartinger to Ryan Gunnarson.
On Capital's next possession, Jeff Morgan (Vineland, N.J./Vineland) intercepted Hartinger and returned the ball to the one. A one-yard plunge by Brandon Wright (Clayton, N.J./Clayton) stretched the lead to 35-21 with 4:39 left.
The Wesley (4-0) defense forced a turnover on downs and the offense took over at the Crusader 34. On first down, Sottilare hit Leonard Stevenson (Nanjemoy, Md./Lackey) for 22 yards. Three plays later, he hit Ellis Krout (Dallas, Texas/Roosevelt) for a nine-yard score and a 42-21 lead with just over two minutes left in the game.
The Wolverines had opened the scoring on the first play of their second possession, when freshman Jeremiah Howe (Cambridge, Md./Cambridge South) got the ball on a misdirection play and scampered 42 yards to the end zone.
Capital cut the lead to a point in the second quarter after a 12-play, 85-yard drive. After an incomplete pass on first down, Hartinger completed his next five attempts to set up a first and goal. Hartinger got into the end zone on a one yard rush, but Aaron Benson (Swarthmore, Pa./Strath Haven) blocked the extra point and Wesley held a one-point lead.
On the first play of the Wolverines' next drive, Sottilare and Krout hooked up on a 57-yard catch and run to the Capital 12. Three plays later, the duo connected on an eight-yard touchdown and the Wolverines carried a 14-6 lead into the half.
Paul Gilstrop (Lindenwold, N.J./Paul VI) recovered a fumble on the Crusaders first possession and the Wolverines took over inside Capital territory. Sottilare hit Stevenson for 14 yards on the first play and then for a 24-yard touchdown on the next snap for a 21-6 advantage with 13:27 left in the third period.
Later in the period, David Parrott forced and recovered a fumble for Capital. A 19-yard pass from Hartinger to Gunnarson on third and 11 set up a four-yard touchdown run by the quarterback that cut the Wesley lead to 21-13 with 5:46 left in the third quarter.

Beaded chandeliers are a fun option. They can be fancy or casual depending on the materials used. A chandelier with beaded shells can complement a nautical theme. Reversible chandeliers allow you to have the arms point up or down. Direct the arms up for ambient lighting and down for task lighting.
The first thing to consider when purchasing a chandelier is the size of the room and the chandelier. Chandeliers range in size from 17 inches to more than 48 inches in diameter, and they can have any number of lights.Mini chandeliers are growing in popularity as a way to add the style of a chandelier in smaller areas such as a powder room. For traditional locations like a dining room look for medium-size chandeliers. This size chandelier can also serve as focal point lighting for the bedroom, living room or kitchen.
Lighting collections offer fixtures in the same style and finish for many areas of the home. For more information on lighting options, Do not forget light bulbs. Things like color temperature, lumen and wattage all play a factor in your rooms quality of light. Light emitting diodes (LEDs) and compact fluorescents (CFLs) help lower energy costs.
Both have a lower wattage but provide the same light output as higher wattage incandescent bulbs. LEDs are also cool to the touch. In general, look for a warm white color temperature for living rooms and bedrooms, a bright white color temperature for kitchens and workspaces, and a daylight color temperature for reading nooks and studies. For more information on light bulbs
Besides looking pretty, the main role of a chandelier is to provide ambient or overall lighting. With all the different types available, it is easy to find one to fit your space. Use chandeliers in the bathroom, bedroom, dining room, foyer, kitchen, living room or master bedroom closet.For more information on lighting your home, Chandeliers with shades are the most common type of chandelier, and typically have glass or fabric shades. Tiered chandeliers command a strong presence.

(AP) Sputtering Arizona beats mistake-prone Dallas 12-7
By BOB BAUM
AP Sports Writer
GLENDALE, Ariz.
The Dallas Cowboys had a gift for Bruce Arians in his first home game as Arizona coach.
Six of them, actually.
The Cowboys committed six turnovers, five in the first half, and the Cardinals sputtered to a 12-7 preseason victory Saturday.
Arizona's Jay Feely kicked field goals of 25, 53, 40 and 22 yards.
Dallas' Tony Romo (Breitbart Sports note: the highest paid player in the NFL after taxes) completed 7 of 10 passes for 142 yards but was undone by two fumbles by his receivers. He also overthrew a wide-open Terrance Williams for what looked to be a sure touchdown.
Arizona's Carson Palmer was 7 of 15 for 66 yards.
The Cowboys scored on a 5-yard pass from fourth-string quarterback Alex Tanney to Gavin Escobar with 10:55 to play, the first points allowed by Arizona (2-0) in the preseason.
Dallas, which entered the game with two turnovers total in its first two preseason contests, fumbled the ball away three times, then backup Kyle Orton threw two interceptions, all before the half came to an end. Arizona got another interception with 1:40 to play.
Cardinals cornerback Jerraud Powers recovered two fumbles and intercepted a pass. Rookie Tony Jefferson had two interceptions.
Arizona didn't do much with the turnovers, turning them in to just three field goals for a 9-0 halftime lead.
The first Dallas turnover came after Arizona went three-and-out in its first possession.
Dwayne Harris gathered in Dave Zastudil's 56-yard punt and was in immediate distress. Justin Bethel stripped Harris of the ball, then Stepfan Taylor jumped on it for Arizona at the Dallas 22. The Cardinals made it to the 7, but Palmer threw incomplete short to Andre Roberts on third-and-6, although Michael Floyd appeared to be open in the back of the end zone. Feely's 25-yard field goal made it 3-0.
The first offensive series for Dallas ended when, on third-and-one from the Arizona 47, the rookie Williams broke open down the sideline but Romo overthrew him.
Arizona took the punt and drove from its 11 to the Dallas 7 on its next possession, but on fourth-and-two Palmer underthrew Mendenhall.
On the first series of the second quarter, Romo threw short to Lance Dunbar, who evaded tacklers at the line of scrimmage and raced downfield to the Arizona 7, with the ball coming loose as the receiver went down. The ruling was he was down by contact, but Arians challenged and was successful, with Powers recovering at the Cardinals 4.
The next time the Cowboys had the ball, Romo threw long to Dez Bryant at the Arizona 28. But Bryant fumbled as he went down and Jasper Brinkley recovered for the Cardinals at their 24. Arizona moved to the Dallas 36, and Feely's 53-yard field goal made it 6-0.
Kyle Orton's second pass of the game was picked off by Powers at the Cowboys 30, but Feely's subsequent 30-yard field goal try was wide ride.
Before the ugly half came to an end, Orton threw one more interception. Jefferson picked it off at the 31 and Feely's 40-yard field goal as the half ended put the Cardinals up 9-0.
Tanney completed 11 straight passes in one stretch, eight of them on Dallas' touchdown drive. Jefferson's pick of Tanney's pass came with 1:40 to play to clinch the victory.
Notes: Although there were some empty seats, the game was sold out. The Cardinals have sold out all 74 games since University of Phoenix Stadium opened. … Cowboys SS Will Allen was shaken up on a collision in the end zone and left the game early. … Arizona rookie S Tyrann Mathieu had some coverage issues starting in place of injured Rashad Johnson. … Third-string Dallas QB Nick Stephens did not play. … Arizona's Patrick Peterson, in his first action on offense in the preseason, caught a lateral pass from Palmer for a six-yard gain. … Arizona has one turnover to its opponents' eight in the first two games.

With the Southington Town Council voting 6 to 3 in approval of new sewer rates, local residents may see an increase in their bills.
During Monday's council meeting, Republicans voted in favor of the new sewer rates, while Democrats voted against it. The new billing system will be based on two parts: a fixed rate and a variable rate, which will be based on actual usage of water. The variable rate will be reduced from $4.33 per 100 cubic feet (CF), and the fixed rate will be assessed in three categories of customers: residential, commercial and industrial. Residents using the sewer system will be charged annually $180, and both industrial and commercial customers will have a fixed rate of $250. Residents on private wells will be charged a flat rate of $400 per household. If they decide to install a water meter, they will pay the residential flat rate of $180 and the residential rate of the amount of water they use.
Under the new process, residents will also receive quarterly bills, starting in July after receiving their annual bill in April. The quarterly bills will be based on actual water consumption. There will also be a one-time fee of $500 for new customers.
"This has felt like a rushed process," said Minority Leader Chris Palmieri, who initially made a motion to table. "There's a lot of inequity that we heard tonight—there's even confusion among ourselves."
"There's a lot of free sewage flowing through the sewer plant…people are paying for that free sewage—that's not fair," replied Council Chairman Mike Riccio. "We should also be fighting for the people who will see a decrease in their bill, who have been paying all these years."
During a public hearing that took place before the vote, local residents expressed their thoughts on the new changes to the billing system, most of them in disapproval.
Resident Larry DePaolo also spoke out against the new billing system, expressing concern about private well customers paying a higher flat rate.
"Is that fair," DePaolo questioned. "A widow or widower living in a home by themselves with a well pays a flat fee of $400—today, they pay $130—that's a $270 increase for that single person."
Southington resident Chester Knell said he has already seen his sewer rates triple since 2006, and voiced his concern that the new changes will have a negative impact on local seniors.
"For senior citizens, this is going to be a big hit," Knell said to council members.
"I do feel sorry for the senior community who do not use a lot of the services, and they're going to be paying a big cost for this," added resident Angela Bowman.
Resident Pamela DePaolo spoke in favor of the new billing process. She said it will "discourage wasteful usage" of the water supplies.
"I think this is a good plan being put into action," said DePaolo. "Most people may pay more, but people who are going to conserve water and those who abuse water—that's going to be brought to a forefront."
During the last council meeting held in the beginning of February, the council voted to change the methodology of the current sewer system. During that time, the Sewer Committee addressed the situation, explaining several problems of the current sewer rate system, and the reasons for the proposed increase in rates.
Town Councilor Cheryl Lounsbury, who serves as chairperson of the Sewer Committee, reported that not only was the current sewer rate system not automotive, but it also failed to collect sufficient revenue to pay annual expenses. The shortfall estimate for this year is $287,000, according to the Sewer Department, and change in the rate structure will collect an additional 16 percent of the required revenue currently not collected.
The cost to operate the sewer plant annually is $5.5 million. "We were leaking money—we were not taking in enough revenue to pay for these sewer expenses each year," said Lounsbury. "In fact, we were bleeding about a quarter of a million dollars a year, so we were taking a quarter of a million dollars less than it costs to use that sewer plant."
The current sewer system relies exclusively on estimates of water used during the winter months to set rates used to charge customers for the full year. As a result, this approach causes biased billing that cannot keep pace with the expenses of the sewer system, triggering dramatic increases every couple of years, town officials said.
"We are the only town with this kind of rate structure," Lounsbury said.
Lounsbury also addressed how the new billing process will affect residents with large in-ground pools and sprinkler systems, since sewer bills are now based in part on water consumption. Those residents can install a separate water meter so they will not be charged for the water they use not entering the sewer system. Lounsbury said a water meter costs an estimate of $200.
"We're looking into being able to buy some meters in bulk so that we can get a group discount," Lounsbury said. "We are really trying to do what's best for all aspects of the population, and make sure that whatever you pay in the sewer is what you use."
During her motion to vote in approval of the new sewer rates, Lounsbury proposed an appeals process for ratepayers eligible for financial assistance through Southington Community Services.
"I'm going to propose a motion that we cast the sewer rate increases with one addition—that we set up an appeals process through Community Services for hardship cases," Lounsbury said. "I think there were some significant reasons that there may be some seniors and there may be some people undergoing significant hardship."

ALBUQUERQUE — The onus was on the Los Alamos Hilltopper boys soccer team's defense to slow down the top scorer in Class 4A.
And, aside for a breakaway early in the second half, the Hilltoppers were up to the task.
Los Alamos limited the touches of Los Lunas striker Alejandro Garcia for much of Thursday's Class 4A quarterfinal. Meanwhile, the Hilltoppers struck twice, once in the first half and once in the second half, to earn a 2-1 victory over Los Lunas' Tigers.
Los Alamos' semifinal contest was scheduled for this afternoon at the Albuquerque Public Schools Soccer Complex against second-seeded Chaparral.
It was a rough game, however, with neither team being able to connect passes on their offensive ends.
Prior to the win, the Hilltoppers had been on a layoff since Oct. 23. Los Alamos goalkeeper Chris Parker said the time off had an effect on the team.
"We didn't play as well as we should've," he said. "I'm grateful the team was able to pull this off and have another day at state."
Late in the contest, both teams seemed to resort to boot-ball instead of trying to work through the other's defense. Surprisingly, the Hilltoppers fared little better than did the Tigers in coordinating an offensive attack against what has been in 2012 a porous Tiger defense.
One of Los Alamos' goals came with just seconds remaining in the first half and the other came on a corner kick that slipped through the fingers of Los Lunas goalkeeper Dylan Romero.
Nick Thoma, who just missed putting Los Alamos on the board with a flying header in the first half, scored off a rebound off a direct kick from Henry Steinkamp in the 40th minute.
Steinkamp's initial direct kick was blocked by Romero, but squirted away to Michael Maestas on the right side. Maestas sent a kick back toward the goal mouth that found its way to Thoma's feet on the left side, giving the Hilltoppers a 1-0 edge just before the break.
The Hilltopper defense, which had played well — Cameron Wilson had a big game coming off the bench to shore up the defensive effort — had a major breakdown early in the second half with Garcia scoring on a 1-on-1 chance.
But Rohun Iyer's corner kick at the 60-minute mark, which Romero couldn't find the handle on, proved to be the difference in the contest. Los Lunas attempted a rally, but managed to get just one shot off in the last 10 minutes.
For the Hilltoppers (14-7), who came into the tournament as the No. 3 overall seed, they moved on to their third semifinal contest in four years with Thursday's victory. The Hilltoppers won the 2010 state championship.
In goal, Parker finished with 7 saves, but also got banged up late in the game on an inadvertent collision with Garcia when both of them were going after the same through-ball that Parker got to a step ahead of Garcia.

Bellbottom jeans
Added Jul 6, 2013
Pärnu, Estonia
I used my pant sloper as a base for this jean pattern. For the first muslin I only drafted out new legs and crotch seams. In the first fitting I marked on the muslin new waist height, back yoke and pockets, and front pockets. I made a second muslin too, to make sure that all the fit issues and pattern changes I marked in the first fitting, worked.
Since I have a very straight body, I tried to make sure that all the design features enhance some parts of my body – front pockets should make my hips seem wider, back pockets and yoke should make my but look rounder.
I flared the legs out starting slightly above my knees. As for the flare, I didn't want to go too wide since the wider the leg, the more dirt and dust you brush up from the streets.
Fitting jeans made from non stretch denim for ladies is a bit harder than fitting stretch denim jeans. You have to keep in mind that 100% cotton denim has not the give stretch denim has, and leave some room so one can still walk and sit in them when they are slim fitted around thigh and seat area.
For topstitching I used the traditional dark yellow jean thread. Bar tacks are sewn with regular No100 thread (to avoid bulk) in the same shade as the top stitching thread. On back pockets and belt loops I added an additional row of topstitching in navy blue which I made using my old Brother's seam No2 – triple stretch stitch. I just really like how the seam looks used as topstitching. And on the front legs the crease lines are sewn in – just a design detail I personally really really like.
Back yoke and crotch are joined by flat-felled seams, using my own method. For front crotch I used a technique seen in this video. I attached all my zipper fly pieces and then made the front crotch seam, which in my opinion, was easier than some other techniques I've seen around the web.
I've always loved flared jeans and am so very happy that I finally made a pair for myself that fits me everywhere (I usually struggle to find RTW jeans that are long enough for my legs.)
Even though the fitting process was frustrating at times and I had some mishaps with hardware, I am glad I didn't call it quits and kept going because I am absolutely totally in love with the finished product.
These jeans were made for PatternReview.com's 2013 Jean Contest

NEW DELHI (AP) — India's top court says it will decide whether to suspend lawmakers facing sexual assault charges as thousands of women gathered at the memorial to independence leader Mohandas K. Gandhi to demand stronger protection for their safety.
The march came Wednesday as police prepare to formally charge six suspects in the gang-rape and killing of a student in the capital two weeks ago.
The rape triggered outrage across the country and sparked demands for stronger laws and tougher police action against those accused of sexual assault.
Chief Justice Altamas Kabir agreed to hear a petition from retired government administrator Promilla Shanker asking the Supreme Court to suspend all lawmakers from national and state legislatures who face prosecution for crimes against women.
The Gandhi memorial is a common protest site.

September 11, 1989
To: The San José State University Community
From: President Gail Fullerton
Subject: Bicycle and Skateboard Safety
This Presidential Directive has been developed in response to the coded memorandum BA 88-06 from Vice-Chancellor of Business Affairs, D. Date Hanner, reference Bicycle and Skateboard Safety on Campus. In this memo, Vice Chancellor Manner requested that alt campuses review bicycle and skateboard policies and practices and take action to reduce the inherent potential dangers associated with the use of bicycles and skateboards on campus.
Several SJSU campus committees have reviewed this topic. The Campus Safety Committee studied the issue and made recommendations. The matter was then referred to the Campus Planning Committee of the Academic Senate for further consideration. The Campus Planning Committee reviewed the matter and made policy recommendations, after which the matter was referred to the Financial and Student Affairs Committee, which made additional recommendations. I then referred the matter to the SJSU Director of Public Safety, for his recommendations.
The following Presidential Directive is essentially the policy recommended by the Campus Planning Committee with some modifications suggested by others.
The purposes of this presidential directive are to reduce the risk of injury to pedestrians that bicycles and skateboards pose and to reduce the risk of injury to persons riding skateboards in areas not intended for that purpose. It is not intended to limit or discourage the use of bicycles or other alternative means of transportation-to travel to and from campus. However, once the rider has the bicycle or other alternative transportation vehicle on the campus, it must be regulated. The University does not permit automobile traffic to operate unregulated on the campus and it cannot allow bicycles and skateboards to operate at will on campus.
- Definitions
- The vehicles being restricted are bicycles, unicycles, skateboards, and roller skates.
- Speed:
- Speed of these vehicles shall be safe and prudent at all times.
- Vehicle Restriction Areas:
- This section is effective 24 hours per day,
