CHARLOTTE - It's easy to remember when Jeff Gordon made his NASCAR Sprint Cup debut for one reason: It was the final race for Richard Petty. "The King" was 55 years old but more than a decade past his prime. It was time to say adieu.
That was Nov. 15, 1992. Jeff Gordon was 20, with a mustache and a mullet.
His accomplishments since that Sunday afternoon in Atlanta - 87 wins, four championships - are among the greatest in NASCAR history. They're exceeded only by Petty (200 wins, seven titles), David Pearson (105 wins), the late Dale Earnhardt (seven crowns), and protégé/teammate Jimmie Johnson (five titles from 2006-10).
Now 41, the end of the road is obviously sooner than later for Gordon. He's older, but wiser, too: "I feel like I'm a smarter driver now than I ever was before, but I'm probably not as aggressive in certain situations as I used to be."
When the day comes that he decides to call it quits, it will be - just as it was with Petty - the end of an era.
It's a day he anticipates more than dreads, but not because he's tired of the travel, the physical wear and tear of racing, or the frustrations when his car doesn't match his capabilities.
"I'm excited about the future . when the day comes when I'm not driving the car," he said Wednesday on the campus of Hendrick Motorsports. "In motorsports, or maybe even some other opportunities, and my kids, my family.
"I feel like I have a whole 'nother step of life and career ahead of me that if I selfishly race until I'm 50 or 52, I think it's going to take away some of those opportunities that are there that I'm excited about."
Those who would opine he's already over the hill don't fully fathom motorsports at this level. Nobody can be the king of the hill forever, and Gordon took the bar to Mount Everest from 1995-99, when he won three championships and 47 races.
The kings of this sport aren't determined by the driver as much as they once were, nor has that been the case for many years. NASCAR has steadily used the rulebook to herd teams into the same corral. Everything about Sprint Cup racing is more complex, with fewer gains to be made, and the window for success has been reduced to a slit.
Those changes affect drivers, crew chiefs, teams and manufacturers - and in different ways - across the board. In Gordon's case, he just hasn't been as effective in recent seasons - the COT, or Gen5 era - as he was in his heyday.
In 2007, for instance, when the COT was introduced on a part-time basis, he won six races and was the championship runner-up. With the COT as the only option in the years since, he's suffered through two winless seasons and been to Victory Lane just six times - and five of those came the 2011-12.
That's not a case of the game passing him by, he said, as much as it is a lack of confidence brought on by circumstances.
"There are times in my career ... the car didn't feel the way I want it to feel. You're frustrated, you're not as competitive, your teammates are running good, and then you lose confidence if it happens consistently," he said.
"But I've always had the confidence that if we stick with it, people that believe in me, that I believe in, we can get that confidence back. I've been fortunate over the years to be able to do that, to go through the ups and the downs and get it back. Some guys come into the sport and they never get it. some guys get it and it fades and they never get it back. I've been fortunate that it's had its ups and downs."
Rick Hendrick has celebrated 10 Sprint Cup championships with his drivers, and as one of the nation's biggest car dealers, he knows how to inspire and motivate those in his employ. Drivers from other teams won the title the past two seasons, so Tuesday, he brought in Virginia Tech football coach Frank Beamer to deliver a preseason pep talk. Gordon said Beamer's focus was on seven steps to success, and a couple of them hit home with him.
"He talked about loyalty and believing in one another. To me, that's always huge," he said. "You've got to have smart people to surround you, and they have to feel like they have a talented race car driver. But when you're tested and go through the tough times, if they don't really, truly believe in you and what you bring to the table and vice versa, you're never going to find that confidence that it takes to win."
If he doesn't match or exceed that in 2013, don't be in a rush to get him a walker (though AARP is his primary sponsor). Just wait to see what happens the following season. He still believes he can hold his own with anybody, and it'll be interesting to see how he adapts for the latest - and final - chapters of his career.

FAILING TO show up for jury duty in Hinds or Madison counties could net fines and jail time.
But more than likely it won't.
Hundreds of people fail to make it for jury qualifications each week. And although state law allows judges to punish those who shirk their civic duty, skipping out on jury service is rarely punished.
Circuit Judge Bill Gowan finds it "appalling" that so many people summoned for jury duty in Hinds County fail to show up.

Shinde's remarks on 'Hindu terror' based on facts: Khurshid
By PTI - NEW DELHI
Published: 22nd January 2013 05:03 PM
Last Updated: 22nd January 2013 05:43 PM
External Affairs Minister Salman Khurshid today backed Home Minister Sushilkumar Shinde's statement on "Hindu terrorism" saying it was based "entirely on facts" made available by investigative agencies.
He, however, said that terror has no religion and colour.
"Let me just say this to you very clearly that our stated position, that is shared fully by the Home Minister and past Home Minister, is based entirely on facts as the investigative agencies have made available to the government," Khurshid told reporters here.
Unfazed by BJP's demand for sacking Shinde for his statement, Khurshid said "The attempt to divert attention and to push it in a particular pre-meditated direction by some people was obviously repudiated by the information that was available with the Home Ministry and that is the context in which all these statements are made".
Shinde had earlier this week stoked a controversy by accusing BJP and RSS of conducting terror training camps and promoting "Hindu terrorism".
Defending Shinde, Khurshid said one should not be looking at finer notions of what should be and can be said at any given time.
"I think core understanding is that there are elements who want to use some cover of pretence and some cover of allegation against other groups to continue on their nefarious and unwholesome activities," he said when asked about Mumbai attacks mastermind Hafiz Saeed and LeT trying to exploit Shinde's statement.
Khurshid underlined that any form of violence that is propagated by extremists of any kind, irrespective of religion is what is dangerous for India.
"Terror does not have religion. We have said this very clearly. And religion should not be associated with colour.
This we have said very clearly. It is terror that we have to fight. Terror directed against India that we are fighting".
He said those are the facts available to the Home Ministry on which the government have been consistently making the statement.
"I think we should not be distracted by a phrase here or there frankly. The intention, the commitment, the determination is what clearly matters," he said.

will Khurshid tell who massacred and ethnic cleanssed hindus in Kashmir? will Khurshid tell who massacred 4000 sikhs in Delhi in 1984. will Khurshid talk about the genocide of hindus in Pakistan and Bangladesh. Ambedkar insisted on exchange of population at the time of partition. Gandhi vetoed it and now we are paying the price - see the utterances of Khurshid. Why not Khurshid migrate to Pakistan or Bangladesh?

If according to Shri Kurshid Terror does not have religion then why HM is prefacing terror with a particular religion?Was it appropriate to refer in a chintan shivir? He is country's home minister and not only that of Congress Party. He has done immence damage to our fight against terrorism.

It is necessary for India that Hindus unite. If terror only can unit them let be it. Hindus are the protectors of India. Just imagine that there is a war between India and Rome and the Pope says that Christians should not fight Rome what will the Indian Christians do? I put this question on a Christian friend and he could not answer. He did not say that he will fight for India. Hindus are necessary to save this nation and its culture. The Congress and DMK men do not have a culture. They abuse their own country and its culture to win votes. He who abuse their own country and culture are traitors of their nation.

I wish to ask the same question;if a pakistani muslim citizen puts the same question on a pakistani hindu how he will react?If an italian hindu citizen being asked similar question what will be the reaction?these kinds of cheap thinkings should not be raised.patriotism is one of our privilege;one should not suspect it on the grounds of faith.

Is it Pakistani Muslim who mass murdered Pakistani Hindu or the other way round? You should know what you are talking about.

abdulcader is off the mark. simply, he is stating thousands of muslims murdered by Jaganmohan. What a story. 4 lac pandits are refugees in their own home land. there is no muslim refugee from kashmir, in Delhi camps. genocide of hindus in Pakistan and Bangladesh is swept under the carpet because of vote bank politics. Bangladesh human rights commission had acknowledged that 35 million hindus are missing. Will abdulcader tell, what is the condition of hindus in Pakistan and Bangladesh? 3 books re avilable on the genocide of hindus in Bangladesh. what is the religious freedom for hindus in muslim countries?

If JJaganmohan has committed any wrong, let Omar, Farook,Sonia order an enquiry and punish him. Kashmir is ruled by father and son duo only. Let them order an immediate enquiry against Jaganmohan

Thankfully I managed to get out of having to take a foreign language by testing out of Spanish. It used to annoy me that my mother didn't know how to speak English, but now I'm glad that it saved me a grand and a half.
well, I'm in Biostatistics right now...which I'd normally be fine with, but back in highschool I took statistics and exempted it in college.
Only problem is that technically Biostatistics is different than statistics so ECU didn't give me credit.
ITS THE SAME MATH BUT WITH MEDICAL EXAMPLES COME ONNNN I KNOW THIS STUFF. Oh well...I'll just surf the forums during class.
There are two different aspects to psychology. The math is very useful if you are interested in studying the brain more scientifically. However, if you are interested in becoming a therapist, most of that information is largely useless.
So to answer your question, people who study broad fields sometimes end up taking classes they don't plan on using.
Yeah man! **** the dissemination of knowledge! It sucks Bro! Screw school!
Religious Education.
Why kids in England get this rather than say... logic and philosophy, I'll never know.
history can be about past events like ww 1 and 2.
yea. it is just about studying the textbooks and writing any factor that corressponds.
at least it is like this here
Absolutely not.
It's a study of the practices and beliefs of various religions.
Catholicism, Protestantism, Islam, Judaism, Hindu and Sikhism respectively.
The only time religion is mentioned in the English history books is Henry VIII founding the Church of England and the religious persecutions caused by the monarchs that followed....and the Crusades, obviously but that's more World History than English History.

'White House Down,' the rundown of new footage screened
ABOVE PHOTO: Jamie Foxx stars as the endangered Commander-in-Chief, and Channing Tatum as the would-be Secret Service agent who bond over an apocalyptic situation, in the new action/thriller White House Down.
By Drew Taylor
indiewire.com blogs
No one quite suits the title of Master of Disaster quite like Roland Emmerich, the director behind such bombastically apocalyptic visions as "Independence Day," "Godzilla," "The Day After Tomorrow" and "2012." Emmerich has gleefully destroyed major monuments, turning the White House into kindling and New York City into a giant frozen puddle. In his latest oversized spectacle "White House Down," starring Channing Tatum as a put-upon would-be Secret Service agent and Jamie Foxx as the endangered Commander-in-Chief, Emmerich returns to the location of his most iconic detonation, this time exploring the bonds between father and daughter while also blowing up a lot of stuff and having many people get shot in gloriously violent ways.
Earlier today we got a peek at the trailer (which you can watch below) as well as a glimpse of about ten minutes of additional footage. While the movie doesn't come out until June 28th, we're pretty sure that it's going to be one of the summer's most satisfying blockbusters.
Jamie Foxx and Roland Emmerich were on hand in our theater to dish about why they decided to tackle "White House Down." For Emmerich, he was drawn to the "great script." "It was an incredibly personal story," Emmerich began. "Plus it's not about terrorists from the outside, which doesn't seem believable. This underlying threat is that America gets brought down from the people inside. It makes it more of a coup d'etat thriller." Tatum, who was live via satellite in London, said that, "While I'm not a particularly political person, it seems like the country is so divided. I felt really good about the premise of the film." Foxx was quick to clarify that, while he's not specifically playing President Obama, "There are certain times I do Obama-type things."
From there they showed the trailer that is now online – it starts off with a kind of faux news report about how an attack has been committed on the White House. We see glimpses of the big budget destruction stuff – the White House on fire, a rocket zooming towards Air Force One, low lying helicopters firing bullets at the White House. If you're wondering how it compares to this past weekend's "Olympus Has Fallen," well, it looks a whole lot better.
Emmerich knows how to build dread, and his shots almost always have a luxurious sheen that "Olympus Has Fallen," with its muddy visuals and lazy script, could have desperately used. You don't get a whole lot of the plot in the trailer, besides the fact that Tatum teams up with the President and that his daughter is in jeopardy, but there is enough fireworks-y razzmatazz, interspersed with a nifty Lincoln quote about the fall of America coming from the inside, that it doesn't really matter.
After the trailer ran (received with much enthusiasm), Emmerich said that he had also cut about ten minutes of footage of the film together. He asked that we apologize for the iffy visual effects since not everything had been completed (and, that said, there were only a couple of sequences that looked unfinished, plus some minor blue-screen issues).
Foxx piped in that the most fun for him was "watching the whole process." He recounted a moment when Tatum was nervous about how a scene would look where he rushes into an elevator shaft firing a gun. When they played the footage back, he of course, looked amazing. Foxx did an impression of Tatum firing his gun in show motion that was absolutely hilarious. "You're the shit," he would tell Tatum, "And he's the shit," talking about Emmerich, "and I'm pretty good."
The ten minutes of footage nicely set up the plot of "White House Down," which is based on a script by James Vanderbilt, who wrote John McTiernan's underrated military thriller "Basic" and David Fincher's masterpiece "Zodiac," introducing us first to Tatum, who plays a DC policeman, and his young daughter (Joey King), who loves the President.
He surprises her with a pair of visitors tickets, since he's going to interview about a Secret Service position. Once he gets to the White House, he checks his gun, and goes in for an interview with Maggie Gyllenhaal's character, a Secret Service agent who lists down the reasons why, according to his peers, Tatum shouldn't have the job including, "no follow through."
After he gets done, he doesn't have the heart to tell his daughter how horribly the interview went, and instead they go on the tour (something that, in real life, has been incredibly limited since the 9/11 attacks). The tour guide notes that, "the White House is actually comprised of three buildings," including, in a joke that wasn't as annoyingly wink-wink as it might appear, "the building that got blown up in 'Independence Day.'" It's during the tour that the attack begins, and Tatum's daughter is separated from him (she's held hostage with the rest of the tour group). In short order we see that Tatum, through "Die Hard"-y circumstances and (we're assuming) a fair amount of coincidence, saves the President's life and they go on the run together.
In the middle section of the footage there's an emphasis on the kind of buddy comedy aspect of the movie – how Tatum is clearly an everyman very much in over his head (as opposed to "Olympus Has Fallen," in which Gerard Butler is a super-soldier killing machine) and that the President also has some humbleness in him. There's a great little scene where they are in the President's bedroom and he takes off his stuffy work shoes and, after some deliberation, decides to put on his Air Jordans.
There's also a little scene where Tatum is getting beat up by a bad guy and the President gets ahold of a machine gun. "Shoot him!" Tatum yells as the President puts on his glasses. Eventually the President does shoot the bad guy, which gives off a little bit of an "Air Force One" vibe (not a bad thing).
The second half of the footage is basically an extended version of the crazy stuff from the trailer, including an extended bit of what appears to be a car chase on the front lawn of the White House, and someone gravely intoning, "In order to avoid World War III, we're going to have to level the White House." (We also get a glimpse of Jason Clarke, as one of the movie's slippery bad guys.)
Even without finished visual effects, it was an adrenaline-pumping few minutes and goes a long way in reminding you of the artistry involved in perfectly choreographed mayhem like this. While "White House Down" might not be the movie everyone is immediately jazzed about this summer (there's no one in spandex flying around or shooting laser beams, it's true), it could end up being one of the most entertaining escapist treats of the entire season.
"White House Down" opens June 28th. Buckle up.

We share yoga without discrimination based on age, size, gender, ability, race, or religion. Bring us in to your group or facility. Sign up for our mailing list on this page for updates.
Testimonial of the year:
I want to thank you again for all your support, caring and compassion on my initial journey of learning and reaping the benefits of gentle yoga. Prior to January, 2012 I was a very active person accustomed to walking at least 45 minutes daily, in addition to other daily activities. In late January, I experienced a stabbing pain in my left foot which grew worse over the next week and subsequently was diagnosed as a stress fracture. However, over the course of the next eight months and eight different doctors, I was still in pain, now in both feet, and had very limited mobility. I was finally diagnosed with "idiopathic peripheral neuropathy" and given medication to treat my symptoms.
In September 2012, while vacationing in NC, I attended a yoga class with a friend and I was immediately hooked, even though I was still somewhat limited in performing all of the yoga poses. I felt so much better after the two classes I asked the yoga instructor to recommend a style of yoga right for me once I returned home. She advised me to look for classes for seniors. My internet search led me to you based on your description of your gentle yoga classes. From day one, I felt like I had found the right yoga instructor and classes for me. I remember leaving that first class with you and Sandy, thinking and feeling that I had finally found a way to live with the discomfort of neuropathy and that I'd found the perfect support group for me. With each class, I started feeling better and was able to do far more than I ever expected. I loved it so much that I committed to three classes per week and rarely missed one.
I'm not sure I can fully express my gratitude to you other than to say, you and your classes have truly given me a new and more positive outlook on life. I came to realize over the course of the last nine months of your classes, that my neuropathy is manageable with yoga, but also that there are so many other people with far worse conditions who have also benefited from their time with you and your yoga classes. I was also drawn to your classes initially because of your work with kids in general, along with those with autism and breast cancer survivors. I had the opportunity to see you in action with people of various conditions and was constantly amazed with your patience and desire to look for alternative poses to help each and every person. Your caring and compassion shone through in every class!!

It's been a little over a year since my first blog post as a self-employed PR professional. Those of you who know me know that it's been one crazy year both professionally and personally. The fact that my family and I have survived living in Austin [Lakeway, TX to be exact] and that my venture in PR as a soloist (for the time being, I hope) has been a relative success, I have to say crazy isn't so bad.
The 'craziness' of the past year has brought me to learn many things about PR…and life. Here are 12 [one for each month] that I'd like to share with y'all [that's a li'l Texan slang for all you New Yorkers]:
12. LIFE IS FULL OF SURPRISES. Such a cliche, but it's so true. Who would've thought that we'll be living so far away from all our family, friends, and of course, the PR/media capital of the world? I still wake up in the middle of the night sometimes thinking I'm in Cambridge Heights in Nutley, NJ.
11. I'M A LITTLE BIT COUNTRY…A LITTLE BIT ROCK 'N ROLL. Moving to Texas has given everyone in the family an appreciation for the most spectacular natural scenery in the country. The Texas Hill Country and Lake Travis are must-adds to anyone's bucket list. We've also enjoyed getting to know folks who come from a very different background as us, and realize that we aren't at all that much different. We do miss the diversity that the Northeast offers in food, culture, people and…FOOD.
10. IN PR, LOCATION DOESN'T MATTER. My friends who work in New York City would probably hate me for saying this, but this is based on my experience. The Internet has really changed the way we communicate. I am just as in touch with what's going on in New York City from here as I was when I was working there. Ok…maybe location does matter a little. That's probably why I'm keeping my 201 area code.
9. CENTRAL TIME CAN BE A PAIN. Location might not matter in PR, but time zones do especially in matters of scheduling meetings and TV watching. The one hour difference is enough to get me mixed up in making appointments with people in the East Coast. I've also missed live TV events because of this. Obviously, there is a time zone bias going on here.
8. IT'S ALWAYS BETTER TO REP CLIENTS YOU LOVE. Every PR pro's dream is to have clients that they feel passionate about. In my case, that'd be the PGA Tour or Tiger Woods. No, I don't rep both as you can tell with all the bad press they are getting lately. I am proud to say though I do rep the next best thing. If you haven't guessed it, then read here.
7. LIKE LIFE, THERE IS SUCH A THING AS DESTINY IN PR. I've told this story many times and I don't think I'll ever get tired of re-telling this story again and again. Many of you who lived near us in New Jersey have had many yummy meals with us at Carino's Italian. If I recall, I introduced Carino's to y'all. In fact, our final farewell dinner, hosted by the Ocampos, was at the Carino's in Clifton Commons. Then, the funniest thing happened along the way to Austin. The first ever restaurant we ate at after a long yet leisurely drive from New Jersey that took ten days was at Rudy's "Country Store" and Bar-B-Q.
Then, a Divine Intervention, a few weeks later, I end up meeting one of the most innovative digital marketers in the U.S., Creed Ford IV, Principal at Pictoric Media Group, who runs the digital marketing for Carino's Italian and Rudy's Bar-B-Q…a couple of months later I'm playing golf with him and the owners of Carino's and Rudy's Bar-B-Q. The rest as they say is history. [If you're on Twitter and aren't following @creedford, you're missing out. This dude will change how restaurants operate. More on that on a later post.]
6. TIGER WOODS IS THE KING OF GOLF AND DOUCHEBAGGERY. Considering I'm in PR, I felt shafted that I, too, fell for his image that he can do no wrong. Nike, Tiger and the rest of his crew should watch out for a class-action lawsuit for all the emotional distress he's caused faithful married men.
5. NETWORKING IS EASIER FOR A FIVE YEAR OLD. Seeing how my two sons (ages 5 and 6), without thinking twice, approach other kids their age to make friends, is something to emulate. I even blogged about it here.
4. TEXAS HAS ITS OWN INDEPENDENCE DAY. Texans have always said Texas is its own country. They're right. I discovered this when my client, Rudy's Bar-B-Q, launched a campaign on March 2nd (3/2) to offer up quarter pound barbecue briskets for 32 cents (a play off the date in case you didn't get it) for a couple of hours. All payments received from the promo hours, as well as 50 cents for every new Twitter follower and Facebook fan a week leading up to 3/2, were donated to the Clinton Bush Haiti Fund. A simple cause related program that combined traditional and social media generated significant media placements for the client. Welcome to the Republic of Texas.
3. PR, SOCIAL MEDIA AND A HEART TO HELP, IS A WINNING COMBINATION. Besides the aforementioned campaign for Haiti. My client, Rudy's Bar-B-Q, also embarked on a cause-related campaign that raised funds for the victims of the Fort Hood tragedy through a partnership with Soldiers' Angels. In addition, Carino's Italian restaurants introduced its new loyalty card, Pasta Points, by donating a dollar for every new registration from April 12th-30th to Autism Speaks, the largest nonprofit organization for autism awareness and research. You can view my behind the scenes take form Austin Live with Chef Peit here. Here are six things about cause-related PR you need to know.
2. I GOT PR'd TO MOVE TO AUSTIN. Kudos to Austin's PR team for getting the city included in rankings of the Best Places to Live in the U.S. (U.S. News) and the Best Places for Business and Careers (Forbes). Besides the obvious of asking friends who've been to Austin, my research showed that Austin is great a hot bed for entrepreneurs and great place to raise a family. So far, that seems like the case.
1. GOTTA HAVE FAITH. Not talking about George Michael's song. The craziness of the past year has actually made me more spiritual and to reflect on what's really important. We may live with less, but we've become closer as a family. If it worked for us so it should for you. The ups and downs of being a small business owner requires a lot of faith in oneself. I don't mean to be preachy, but without the belief that someone greater is watching out for you, the challenges will be tougher to face IMO. If you don't believe me, read point no. 7 again.

CO2 as a Feedstock for Fuels & Chemicals
Awareness of net carbon emission and potential ways to reduce them is becoming more and more important to all industries today. A growing number of environmental, political and social drivers are placing pressure on industry to find low-cost ways to limit their contribution to the climate change problem.
A number of options exist for reducing carbon emissions and the combination of all the following strategies will likely be necessary to meet carbon stabilisation goals:
- Switch to more efficient technology with less energy consumption
- Use alternative feedstock with lower carbon content
- Establish carbon capture and geological storage
- Utilise CO2 as feedstock for industrial applications
The strong carbon pricing and equivalent regulatory mechanism will ultimately be necessary to drive widespread commercial deployment of carbon dioxide utilisation technologies.
Responding to these economics and market drivers, some of the world`s largest players in power and other industrial sectors are investing in projects to more profitably utilise CO2 for diverse industrial applications. The new environment has created an exciting tipping point in strategic partnering, investment, and construction that is driving rapid growth in commercialisation of CO2 utilisation technologies.
Mature CO2 reuse technologies as Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) can play a lead role in CO2 utilisation, though the emerging technologies in petrochemical, biochemical, fuel, and power energy sector are already making inroads.

David Roberts remembers his days as a Denver police cadet in 1970: It was roll call, just like in the old TV dramas, and every cop was handed a "hot sheet" of vehicles totaling 10 pages, with license plate numbers printed in six columns.
It was a dizzying list, all single spaced. Every time Roberts saw a suspicious vehicle, he thumbed through the legal-size pages, seeing whether the car was stolen or wanted for use in a crime or impoundment for unpaid parking tickets.
"You can imagine how many times you would do that in a shift," said Roberts, who's now a senior program manager for the International Association of Chiefs of Police.
Each check, he said, amounted to "a fishing expedition."
That time-consuming process is now increasingly being replaced by technology called automated license plate readers. It's a system of high-speed cameras mounted on police or meter-maid vehicles that photograph license plates and run the numbers automatically against the 21st century version of a hot sheet, a database.
The nationwide emergence of this policing tool was highlighted this week in a report that portrayed the digital-era invention as shades of another Big Brother intrusion into American privacy, largely because there are no laws governing how long police can keep the data on vehicles, including those of innocent motorists, according to the American Civil Liberties Union.
But some law enforcement officials and advocates assert there's no need for state laws.
Groups such as the IACP encourage agencies to adopt policies to ensure the data is used for authorized purposes, with regular audits. There's been no major scandal of abuse since a study by Roberts found almost half of the largest police departments were using the technology in 2007.
The ACLU, however, calls the technology "a tool for mass routine location tracking and surveillance" of Americans and advocates legislation to ensure privacy.
"I understand the position they're taking on this," Roberts said of the ACLU. "I think agencies are very careful on how they use the data. Every agency I talk to and all the guidance we provide is to make sure that this is for official use only.
"If agencies have specific policies and articulate those policies and enforce them, it would obviate the need for legislation that would restrict this powerful investigative tool," Roberts said.
Moreover, other law officials argue, maybe license plate data from 10, 20 or 25 years ago could be used to track down a suspicious vehicle and solve a cold case.
"My first question is why," said Tyler Izen, president of the Los Angeles Police Protective League, the bargaining unit for 9,900 sworn officers ranked lieutenant and below. "And if the answer is because we have statute of limitations on crimes, well, there's no statute of limitation on murder.
"I would ask the ACLU if we could solve a family's homicide from 20 years ago, why would you want it destroyed?" he added, referring to the data. "Really what they're saying is they don't trust society to use that data reasonably, and I say we make sure we use it reasonably. I don't want to violate the Constitution."
Izen agrees that the data shouldn't be made available for purposes outside of law enforcement.
"I hear everyone's discussion about the right to privacy," Izen said. "If I'm telling my wife I'm somewhere, I certainly don't need somebody saying they saw my car somewhere else.
"I don't want a tabloid having access to the data telling me where every celebrity is located. That's not what we do," Izen continued.
That issue, however, did arise in Minnesota, according to the ACLU.
In 2012, the StarTribune newspaper in Minneapolis tracked the movement of the Mayor R.T. Rybak's car 41 times at license police readers in the prior year. The newspaper put the information on a map and gathered the data through public records requests.
As a result of that report, the mayor directed the police chief to recommend a new policy on data retention, the ACLU said.
The power of the technology seems commanding: A police cruiser can be mounted with cameras to check vehicles that are parked, in front of the patrol car or traveling in the opposite direction on the other side or the road.
Once the software confirms a match between a passing vehicle and the hot list, it emits a visual and audio alert on the patrol car's computer.
An officer, however, must double check the alert because sometimes the optical character reader software will misread a plate's "8" as a "B" or a "Z" as a "7," Roberts said.
A 2010 study by George Mason University found "there is little question that license plate readers are more efficient than previous (and, in many cases, current) police practices for checking license plates" such as the "look-out lists."
"License plate readers can continuously scan hundreds of plates in minutes without the officer paying attention to vehicles passing by or taking up radio airtime that might be used for more pressing communications. Because of these efficiencies, LPR may contribute not only to reduced discrimination in traffic stops, but also to reduced distractions and accidents while driving," the study said.

So no one in your guild has a tank alt that has the slightest shade of gear? I mean, heaven forbid you have to go back a tier for a quick cleanup of old bosses to gear tanks. Not like guilds of expansions past have EVER had to do that, right?
A part of being a good guild is having a "plan B" in case the worst case scenario occurs. Clearly, you have no fallout plan for both tanks leaving. That is your own damn fault, not Blizzard's.
You guys just aren't prepared. Oh well, collective raiding break for a "few weeks" if you aren't willing to bring in a couple new members. That's the way it works. If a guild implodes because people quit, then your recruiting methods need a serious evaluation. Now is a good time to do that, before more of your members leave due to lack of leadership. Mediocre 10 man guilds are a dime a dozen, anyway.
There's just so much whining and crying these days, its ridiculous. Whatever happened to just doing what it takes to prevail?

Every Java programmer loves free eBooks on Java, don't you? When I shared my collection of top 5 Java programming books, one of my reader asked me to share some free Java books as well. Doing a quick search on internet, reveals lots of free books, resource and tutorials to learn Java. I have chosen some of the good Java books, which are FREE, available for download or you can read it online in HTML or PDF format. This books are excellent resource for any Java beginners, as well as experienced programmer, and since they are free, it makes absolute sense to have a look on this before buying any other book in Java. This free Java books covers a wide range of technology including core Java, J2EE, JSP, Servlets, XML and general programming concepts. Though books like Effective Java or Java Concurrency in Practice are not free, they are worth of every penny spent. I didn't find any good FREE Java books on concurrency and multithreading, which I really wanted to include. If you come across a genuine FREE multithreading books for Java programmer, then please let us know.

How to count Vowels and Consonants in Java String Word
In this article, we will take on a popular programming exercise of counting vowels in a word. You need to write a Java program to count how many vowels in a String, which is entered from command prompt. It's similar to program of counting occurrence of characters in a String, in fact it's a special case, where you need to count occurrences of all vowels, which includes five characters a, e, i, o and u. We will further use Scanner to get input from user, as shown in this article. Though I have put down all code inside main method for quick testing, if you are asked to write this program as part of your homework or during interview, better writing a method called public int countVowels(String word) and put logic of counting vowels there. That's a better coding style than writing everything inside main method. By the way, you can also use this logic to count number of consonants in a Java String. What you need to do is first count number of vowels and then subtract those characters from length of String, but remember this will only work if your String contains only alphabetic words, if it contains special character like @, _, | or numbers like 1,2,3 etc, than it will not work. In that case you need to extend your logic to only count consonants, by extending your switch case to include rest of 21 characters from English alphabets.

Difference between RegularEnumSet and JumboEnumSet in Java
Difference between RegularEnumSet and JumboEnumSet in Java was asked in a recent Java interview to one of my friend, unfortunately he hasn't explored this topic well and couldn't answer this question precisely, but he made sure to learn about EnumSet after that. When he discussed this topic to me, I really liked it because despite of usefulness of EnumSet and it's fast implementation, not many developers knows about it, despite being mentioned in Java classic Effective Java. This makes me to write this post, where we will mainly discuss couple of differences between RegularEnumSet and JumboEnumSet in Java, but we will also touch base upon some of the important properties of EnumSet. For those who are completely unknown of EnumSet and wondering what the heck is this new Set implementation, it's one of those very special implementation, which is used to store Java Enum, Since Enum always has fixed number of instances, data-structure which is used to store Enum can be optimized depending upon number of instances and that's why we have two different implementation of EnumSet in Java. We will take a closer look on this concept in next paragraph.

When Virgil was dying in 19 BC he asked for the unfinished Aeneid to be destroyed. The emperor Augustus refused the request. This decision affected the course of literary history and the development of western culture. Even in his own lifetime Virgil's poetry had become a school text. Early Christian writers who attempted to reject Virgil could escape neither his style nor his attitudes. Christian thought assimilated them both. The Aeneid and the Bible were probably the two most consistently read books in Western Europe for two thousand years.
The Aeneid was composed at least in part to celebrate ''truth, justice, and the Roman way'' and to promote the rebirth of the Roman way of life under Augustus. The Aeneid also universalises Roman experience, ideals, and aspirations. The Aeneid represents a pivotal point in western literature: Virgil drew on the whole of Greek and Latin literature to create this epic. He expanded the range of the Latin epic, using elements from most types of late classical literature, while refining the linguistic and metrical possibilities of the epic genre. Because of its generic inclusiveness and linguistic brilliance, the Aeneid spread its influence across every form of written discourse for centuries.
In the last two thousand years the Aeneid has been a pagan bible, a Latin style manual, a moral allegory, a document of European unity, a pacifist document—and one of the most-read and studied works of world literature of all time. Entering its third millennium, the Aeneid can still speak immediately to the reader.
