Expensive Toy.
by sf_bayarea on September 18, 2008
Pros: It's an APPLE!
Cons: See below:
Summary: 1) Expensive.
2) Sound quality is just average.

2) Sound quality is just average.
3) Form over function: Handling it as handling a thin bar of wet soap! A big design flaw.
4) Wi-Fi is not working as advertised. It can only connect ot an opened network. Try to save time and headache if you want to connect it to your own secured network.
5) Everything has to go through iTunes!
6) Another design flaw: Volume control on touch pad beside two hard mechanical buttons on the side. You could accidentally hit the max volume and your ears will be ringing afterward
Take CNET reviews as a grain of salt. They now even review cars!16 out of 30 users found this user opinion helpful.
Good but not perfect
by talmy on October 1, 2008
Pros: Good sync of contacts and calendar, usable browser, great for viewing photos, lots of great apps in App Store
Cons: WiFi DHCP is tempermental. No search in calendar, no to-do list -- if only it was a capable a PIM as OS X or my old Palm Tungsten. "Keyboard" is difficult to use with big fingers.

Summary: I purchased to replace my failing Palm Tungsten E, so I was primarily interested in its PIM features. It should be better than my Palm syncing to my iMac but it implements only a subset of the iMacs functionality. But PDAs are a dead market segment with everyone but me going to smart cell phones. I gotta take what I can get. It looks slick -- I have played a couple videos on it, but I've yet to use it as a music player!
I will add that some apps crash regularly. In years of use, I never had my Palm crash. Hopefully things will improve with time.

Now it's worth it!!
by sexymexi26 on September 12, 2008
Pros: Beautiful screen, app store, design, volume control buttons, external speaker, i can go on and on...
Cons: no cases are out for it yet, still has fingerprint loving backside

Summary: I purchased the first ipod touch at 399 for 16 gigs, but I just thought the whole thing was not worth the money. So when I heard about the updates apple made I thought I'd give it another try. I went and bought the 32 gig touch... twice the size as the original ipod touch, but the same price!!
The first thing I noticed was the design. It feels a lot more sturdy, but thinner than the first. The contoured shape feels really nice in my hand. The screen is as gorgeous as ever with a 3.5 inch widescreen. The volume control is a nice convenient feature as well as the external speaker. The external speaker isn't great quality or anything, but just produces a sound for casual listening great for sharing youtube videos and songs. With the added app store, I can play games, get a to do list, organize my finances, etc. I realized it is now completely identical to the iphone except the phone part of course. This is like my mini PDA!! The only complaint I have is that the back has that polish that attracts fingerprints. It hasn't scratched on me yet, but being careful until a case comes out for it.
I feel this is definitely worth the purchase now and will be keeping this great and entertaining device for a long time!10 out of 17 users found this user opinion helpful.

Summary: The iTouch is a lifesaver. I use it for everything. I'm a junior in high school and I use my ipod everyday. Most of my teachers don't mind and are actually intrested. In my Algebra 2 class, I downloaded a free graphing calculator from the app store. It works great and is always correct. You can zoom in and out by pinching and trace by double tapping the screen. I also have the instapaper application which helps you with writing essays and doing research by saving web pages on your iPod. You can view without wifi and it makes bibliographys and work cited a lot easier. The Scientific calculator works great with chemistry but it costs $.99 to download a periodic table. You can also download a unit converter to convert from customary to metric. I have A.P. english and I downloaded a dictionary app that helps a lot. I also have the constitution and the D.O.I. on it for my A.P. U.S. History. I also have a program called iProcrastinate which acts like my personal assistant. It is better than an average homework planner. I have all my assignments in there and you can have it arranged in many ways. Parents, buy this for your kid. It raised my grade up and makes school less stressful.

The best iPod ever made
by bobtech101 on December 17, 2008
Pros: Speaker, compatible with the new in-ear headphones w/ a mic, faster processor than previous gen.
Cons: WiFi antenna a bit weaker than the 1st gen touch, the volume rocker + the sleep button a bit hard to press, not jailbreakable yet.
Summary: I got this new ipod to replace my 1st gen touch which had a cracked screen. After comparing the two together, I noticed that the 1st gen seemed to pick ...
Summary: I got this new ipod to replace my 1st gen touch which had a cracked screen. After comparing the two together, I noticed that the 1st gen seemed to pick up more wifi networks than the new one. Also the settings menu has a bluish tint to it. The speaker is quiet, but is meant to be used for "casual listening." The battery life is pretty good and the faster processor speed is noticeable. Even if this seems like a mild upgrade to the 1st gen, it feels like a totally new device.

Sound quality?
by azure13 on January 7, 2009
Pros: All Ipods are fun to use and have a great user interface.
Cons: All Ipods have questionable sound quality.
Summary: Why is CNET putting this as it's top mp3 player if the sound quality is not great? Isn't sound quality the most important feature of a MUSIC player?...
Summary: Why is CNET putting this as it's top mp3 player if the sound quality is not great? Isn't sound quality the most important feature of a MUSIC player?
I'm ticked that I bought into all the hype over Ipod only to find out after buying one that it doesn't sound that good. What a waste of money...
I've tried several different earphones, costing hundreds of dollars and also tried other conversion softwares to convert my CDs all to no avail. After messing around so much that is when I decided to do more research and found out that the sound is a common complaint.
Normally I would have done more research ahead of time, but as I said, I bought into the hype.2 out of 2 users found this user opinion helpful.
The new Ipod Touch 2G and WiFi Problems
by 49goldrush on September 12, 2008
Pros: I agree with the cnet review of the 2G, but with one exception...the WiFi
Cons: WiFi will not connect to a router using WAP-2. This seems to be a problem in Apple's software ver 2.1.1. Read the forums on apple's support page.

Outstanding Pocket Device, More Than an MP3 Player
by ben9n on May 13, 2009
Pros: Wi-Fi Connectivity, Large Display, Full Feature Set and wide-open range of expandibility options
Cons: Forced iTunes integration, iinability to Drag-n-Drop files as YOU see fit, inability to transfer your own photos to somebody else's (or your own) PC / Laptop
Summary: Firstly, I think they undersell this by calling it an MP3 or MP4 player - it is so much more. Yes, it can do those things, but for me it ...
Summary: Firstly, I think they undersell this by calling it an MP3 or MP4 player - it is so much more. Yes, it can do those things, but for me it has become more of a pocket internet device, a living atlas, phonebook / addressbook, contact database, PDA and a portable lifelink to email, weather (in any city) and just about everything else. Heck, I practically forgort this thing does music and video (and haven't really missed them either).
I'd like to add that by loading the Pandora and Slacker apps, I've been able to get some great radio joy out of this. Of the paid (radio) apps, I've found RadioBOX and ooTunes the best so far - each of which allows me access to hundreds of stations all over the country (and elsewhere), in addition to the entire Shoutcast and Icecast networks.
The APPs ... this is one of the most entertaining and interesting things. You can get or buy an app for just about every conceivable function and frill - need a flashlight? Get an app ... need to know where to find the nearest El Polo Loco? Get an app ... want to track every move of your favorite sports franchise in real time? Get an app ... I've been able to to find apps that help me edit my photos, build a contact list that interfaces with my maps & email addresses - and a lot of other niceties.
Yes, much of this is frivolous, but fun nonetheless. With more than a handful of usefull app-add-ons (and a ton of frivolous-but-fun ones), I've fashioned this iPod into a pocket instrument I'd rather not live without. I absolutely love being able to pop into any coffee shop (or McDonalds) and quickly connnect to the internet - check my email or maybe surf a little; and all this without having to pull the laptop out of the trunk & pop it open. I love being able to pull up an APP, ask for the nearest steakhouse (or dentist), and not only getting a list (sorted my distance) - but a map and satellite / sidewalk view of it, along with the phone number and website URL.
Ironically, it's turned out to be one of my least favorite music and video devices - because I'm fed up with iTunes and the forced synching methods they impose. I love the videos, and the large screen makes it great for photo browsing, so I've probably got about twenty or thirty videos on it (and a ton of photos). That, and a handful of songs.
One thing I'd recommend for those considering a purchase - go ahead and fork out for a quality screen protector. I got the one of the best (and most expensive) one out there. It's been worth every dime because they are everything they claim to be.
Radio - The Touch gives you unlimited Radio of every possible genre. Yes, you need to be in Wifi range for this, but it's fantastic and fun. At home, I actually use this to stream internet radio to my home system - from my home PC to my Touch - and the Touch plugged-in to the AUX input of my home audio system. All you need is a well-chosen radio app (and there are tons of them).
You'll find plenty of excellent (free and paid) apps for radio streaming; most of which will allow you to access hundreds of stations, of every conceivable genre. The paid apps in this category range from 99 cents to a few dollars, all worth it in my view.
Shopping - yes, (free) shopping apps for this and it makes it easy to log in for a quick check and easy purchase, from where ever you happen to be. As to email, I've found a nice, tight integration with my yahoo mail account .... which is also integrated seamlessly with my flickr photostream. Fantastic!
Note of Interest ... I love how online reviews always slam the heck out of apple competitors, etc, whenever they review an 8GB mp3/mp4 player ... "A ridiculously limited" amount ... "pathetically low storage for a video player", etc.; yet they never say these things when reviewing an 8GB iPod. Well, I'm here to say that 8GB is just as little (or as much) with an ipod ... but that in this case, it matters even less to me.
This device cost me around $230, and for the reasons explained here, was worth every thin dime!

by ConnorJ13 on May 8, 2009
Pros: Outstanding interface, large screen, tons of features, sleek look, this is definitely one of the coolest gadgets i've used.
Cons: I really don't have any complaints about this thing.
Summary: Awesome gadget, I love how apple packed so much into this device, yet it still runs with perfection.

Summary: The second generation iPod Touch offers one of the best values as mp3 players/handhelds go. The build quality is simply fantastic; high quality materials as always. Still the back is extremely scratch prone. I made the battery test just to know if Apple was lying once more and I was surprised to see that it actually got a lot more than 40 hours from a single charge (mid volume with some cheap sony MDR buds). The screen's responsiveness is heavenly but still having the dedicated volume keys, which was a no-brainer the first time, are a nice touch.
It has A2DP now, finally! It works great but it won't work for anything else than p2p comunications with apps and A2DP.
The Apps you can get from the App Store range from awesome to completely useless; from free to utterly expensive. Still this is the reason I got the Touch in the first place. I use it more like a PDA than a mp3 player, and these are the reasons: I HATE iTunes. It is slow, consumes resources at ridiculous levels and it doesn't show up, even in eye-candy form! the navigation is not intuitive when syncing is involved and has problems updating my library (I prefer the Zune software (!)). The main reason I don't use it for playing music that much is because the sound quality is blah. Even the EQ-less Zune makes my files sound fuller and warmer than the Touch, it can't drive full-sized or supra-aural headphones with a mere 32 Ohms impedance without rising the volume to at least ~80%, give me a break, even my cheap SE w380 phone sounds better than this! All this relegates the touch to a device for casual listening. Don't get me wrong, it isn't too bad, but for the price I'd expect a better sound chip, even in exchange of battery life.
Another thing that bothers me is the limiting of the capabilities of the device. It's not unknown that Apple loves closing everything in it's little bubble but come on, charging costumers for a function which was there from day one is simply ridiculous! and for some reason I believe it won't even offer full A2DP functionality; that's not like Apple (you know, the iPhone's BT profiles for example). Still if you're a casual listener looking for a nice device that will let you browse the web (the most computer-like experience on a handheld yet), manage your schedule or anything else that comes to mind this is the device.

The lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) Workers' Rights Project helps low-income workers address discrimination, harassment, and other problems at work because of their sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression. Established in 2000, the LGBT Workers' Rights Project works to ensure that existing law is interpreted and expanded to protect such workers.
California law prohibits employers with 5 or more employees from discriminating against employees on the basis of sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, and/or gender expression. In addition, in California, harassment on the basis of sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, and/or gender expression is unlawful at workplaces with one or more employee. Employers have a duty to prevent and correct harassment whether it is committed by a supervisor, manager, coworker, customer, or other third party.
The Project provides free legal education, counseling, advocacy and assistance to minimize barriers to employment and to help low-income LGBT workers to resolve problems of discrimination and harassment in the workplace.
The tools we use include:
Advice and Information:
LAS–ELC provides free legal information and assistance to LGBT individuals through the Workers' Rights Clinic and through the Gender Equity & LGBT Rights Program at 415-864-8848.
Legal Representation:
The LAS-ELC represents workers who have been subjected to unlawful workplace discrimination and harassment. We provide direct legal services, from pursuing administrative complaints to litigating cases in state and federal court.
Policy Advocacy:
The LAS-ELC participates in efforts to expand workers' rights to be free from discrimination and harassment.
Public Education and Outreach:
The LAS-ELC offers workshops and trainings for workers and advocates about discrimination and harassment laws. We also provide self-help tools, fact sheets, and other reference materials in English, Spanish, and Chinese.
LAS–ELC collaborates with a range of advocates and communities to identify and strengthen the common interests of persons with disabilities, LGBT people, women, people of color, immigrants, language minorities, labor unions, military families and veterans, and working people with caretaking obligations.

Don't think metal detector will do you any help though, capt?
Posted: Fri Oct 01, 2010 6:34 am
Piece of advice
Save yourself a lot of time and frustration...go rent a really good metal detector because those old pull tabs will you drive you nuts! Make sure it can distinguish the different metals although I do not know how it will pick up the wood chest?
Good luck-you deserve it!
Posted: Wed Sep 29, 2010 4:36 pm
Yes, I figured out the park a while after episode 6. I have been there several times. My metal detector is not a high quality one and is on the fritz. There is also so much crap in the ground in this area. It was very industrial at the turn of the last century. And it took me awhile to figure out the last video (
. Why I don't know.
I think some of you are extremely intelligent. But you are really digging way to deep getting distracted by homages, history, and every thing else. The clues are so in your face. Those others are so not.
I have contacted someone personally on this forum. They have been a really nice person from the get go. I am hoping to here from them. If I do not I will ask help from someone else.
@michny - No the Stele did not come easy to me. Actually it took me 5 weeks of research but, it is right there on the internet. Think where are we looking for the treasure, what kind of area. Not a shopping area, a school, the desert, a forest, private land, someone's back yard.
Oh, I wish that was me last night. The best find I ever had was a gold button worn by a British solider in the Revolutionary War.
@Spoonsy - You have been one of the best and nicest players on here from the get go. I am not being coy. I'm just extremely frustrated. There is a lot of play on words and visual clues. Like I said visual. As an artist we try to look at things for not what they are but for what they can become or represent. So I get these guys. If you are a technical person (like my husband) you are not going to get a lot of these clues.
If I tell you any more you will pick it up like that and say to yourself holy _____________!

I am not sure why she is letting on at all...
It is strange-this puzzle came very simply to her. To the majority of us it did not, there is a big story and references to things that could not be overlooked. Maybe that is the part she is missing.

e: i know that im not either, but im not pretending to have any information i dont have or being cryptic with anything.

so then im guessing by your statement that you know what park it's in and are being coy just to have some fun?
e: all four of your post reek of "i know something you don't know!"
either add to the collaboration and be helpful or go find the gold on your own if you apparently know what you're 3.5 miles from and what park has the right stele
e2: im not doubting that its all visual, especially after the revelation that the crayon shoe really was the best clue, but if you have something to share, share. if you dont, dont.
Posted: Wed Sep 29, 2010 3:14 pm
Well because two of the episodes repeat the clue of a certain Stele in a certain park. It is all visual. Repeat visual.
As I wrote before two story lines here. Over all clues leading to the park and step by step in episodes 1-6 and 7 & 8 hit the spot.

Greenbacks for Building Green: Does a Lender for Sustainable Construction Projects Need to Make Adjustments to its Current Practices?
Darren A. Prum
In the development of real property, the availability of money to secure construction resources is an important factor for success. The construction loan plays a central role in providing funds to erect a building on real property, but a lender faces numerous exposures that might result in a loss. In evaluating a project to determine its viability and to uncover any exposure it might present, a lender will conduct an extensive underwriting review process. It will then use mitigation techniques through the construction loan agreement and disbursement requirements to reduce the perceived risks to an acceptable business level, for those developments deemed worthy. With the recent transition into more sustainable construction practices, many lenders will fail to recognize that the construction of a green building differs from that of a traditional one. The meaningful distinctions between these different methods merit an evaluation of their own to properly assess and manage the risk associated with a construction loan for a green building. Accordingly, this article seeks to address the unique issues associated with a construction loan for a green building and provide solutions that can mitigate the exposures presented to acceptable levels.
Scattered and Dissonant: The Clean Air Act, Greenhouse Gases, and Implications for the Oil and Gas Industry
Alex Ritchie
In the midst of a domestic oil and gas production revolution, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has constructed a web of findings and regulations to control greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from stationary sources under the auspices of the Clean Air Act. This Article explores the theoretical and practical implications for the oil and gas industry of EPA's Clean Air Act GHG regulatory regime that, in light of congressional paralysis, will continue to expand beyond major new and modified oil and gas facilities such as refineries and natural gas processing plants. Future rulemakings directly aimed at the oil and gas industry will likely include lower regulatory thresholds for permitting and control technology requirements, performance based GHG emissions standards for refineries, and amendments to recently-adopted air emissions performance standards for oil and gas production to address GHG. Indirectly, contemplated rules for new and existing power plants may effectively eliminate coal as a substitute for natural gas in the generation of electricity, causing the domestic price of natural gas and electricity to increase amid inevitable liquefied natural gas exports to foreign nations. And if a federal market-based program is ever adopted, GHG reporting requirements indicate that oil and gas companies could be assessed and forced to pass on to consumers the cost of GHG automobile emissions. All of these regulatory programs will eventually sweep in smaller independent oil and gas producers and increase the cost to produce, process, and refine oil and gas.
Reconciling the Carbon Market and the Human Right to Water: The Role of Suppressed Demand under Clean Development Mechanism and the Gold Standard
Mark Williams & Sharmila Murthy
Carbon credits are being used to fund a multitude of development projects. Recently, they have been approved by the Gold Standard and the Clean Development Mechanism, two carbon credit approval bodies, to fund clean water Household Water Treatment and Safe Storage (HWTS) projects under a theory known as suppressed demand, in which credits are largely based on assumed carbon emissions rather than actual carbon emissions. These projects seek to promote alternative methods of purifying drinking water rather than boiling, which contributes to greenhouse gas emissions through the burning of wood or other biomass. Proponents argue that suppressed demand creates greater equity in carbon markets because countries that have contributed the least to greenhouse gas emissions would not otherwise be able to advantage of carbon funding designed to promote sustainable development. . Critics counter that because suppressed demand is not based on actual carbon emissions, the funded projects that do not reduce greenhouse gases.
This paper analyzes the theories underpinning suppressed demand and considers its relationship to the human right to water. The "good practices" criteria outlined by the United Nations Special Rapporteur for the Human Right to Safe Drinking Water and Sanitation provide an analytical tool for assessing the effectiveness projects funded via suppressed demand. The primary conclusion is that while suppressed demand funded water projects are consistent with the human right to water, they do not guarantee that all essential criteria of the human right to water are fulfilled; at best, they address concerns about water quality and affordability while not focusing on questions of availability, accessibility and acceptability. While the suppressed demand approaches used by Gold Standard and CDM attempt to address some aspects of the "cross-cutting" human rights criteria, i.e. non- discrimination, participation, accountability, impact and sustainability, significant room for improvement exists. If suppressed demand is to be used as a carbon credit funding mechanism for water purification projects, then potential drawbacks need to be considered and the methodologies revised accordingly. Only then, can carbon credit funded HWTS projects relying on the suppressed demand carbon credit approach be seen as an important ally in reducing carbon emissions and in aiding LDCs struggling to implement the human right to water.
Case Summaries
2012 Ninth Circuit Case Summaries
Ninth Circuit Environmental Review
The Ninth Circuit Environmental Review consists of five Environmental Law members. Each member is responsible for writing and editing complex summaries in addition to regular source-checking duties. This year's members displayed outstanding attention to detail and zeal for writing and editing. Moving forward, the format and scope of these summaries may change. However, this journal remains fervently committed to chronicling how the Ninth Circuit addresses the dynamic and ever-important environmental and natural resource issues in the West.
Blackouts and Oversupply or Regulatory Planning and Cooperation
Jess B. Kincaid
Policymakers in the United States have asserted broad goals to reduce electricity rates by increasing market competition, increase the use of renewable sources of electricity, and upgrade the U.S. transmission system to accommodate intermittent renewable energy sources. When policy goals are not well integrated with local and national regulatory policies, periods of too little or too much electricity on the grid result. This article analyzes the restructuring of the California electricity market in the late 1990s and the 2012 periods of oversupply on the Bonneville Power Administration grid as case studies in regulatory failure, then looks to the current smart grid upgrades to the national transmission system to recommend more cooperative regulatory policy.
Saving Preemption in the Clean Air Act: Climate Change, State Common Law, and Plaintiffs without a Remedy
JJ England
Certain parties suffering severe property damage from climate change have recently turned to the tort system as their only source of relief. Whether the Clean Air Act preempts these state common law actions is a question that has been recently highlighted—yet left unanswered—by both the Supreme Court and the Ninth Circuit. The answer to this question has important implications, not only for aggrieved plaintiffs that otherwise have no remedy, but for the co-existence of the Clean Air Act with centuries of air pollution common law precedent. This Chapter explores the intersection of preemption jurisprudence and the Clean Air Act to answer this question. In the process, it critically examines the four most recent federal cases addressing Clean Air Act preemption, concluding that these cases have largely broken with Congress's intent that the Clean Air Act preserve plaintiffs' common law rights.

text: The Eyeless GirlThere once a little girl. She had brilliant red hair and gracing green eyes. Everyone in her village loved her and her parents. Her parents were lords of their own estate and didn't do much harm to anyone. One day their house oddly burned down and only the girl survived. The entire village thought of her as a witch for surviving and accused her of killing her own parents. She was expelled from her town and went to somehow live on her own. Stricken with grief the girl gouged out her brilliant green eyes and soon her fine red hair became a mop of tangled ungodly monstrosity. Hoping to find her way back to the village only to be called a monster and had her face burned beyond recognition. She hobbled for days, having her legs crippled when she came upon a field of grass. There on the other side was a boy with light hair. He was lazing the day away as always when he found that poor girl crawling across the meadow. He went to her and tried to calm her down. She realizing that

Charles Dickens: The Old Curiosity ShopCHAPTER 31With steps more faltering and unsteady than those with which she had approached the room, the child withdrew from the door, and groped her way back to her own chamber. The terror she had lately felt was nothing compared with that which now oppressed her. No strange robber, no treacherous host conniving at the plunder of his guests, or stealing to their beds to kill them in their sleep, no nightly prowler, however terrible and cruel, could have awakened in her bosom half the dread which the recognition of her silent visitor inspired. The grey-headed old man gliding like a ghost into her room and acting the thief while he supposed her fast asleep, then bearing off his prize and hanging over it with the ghastly exultation she had witnessed, was worse--immeasurably worse, and far more dreadful, for the moment, to reflect upon-- than anything her wildest fancy could have suggested. If he should return--there was no lock or bolt upon the door, and if, distrustful of having left some money yet behind, he should come back to seek for more--a vague awe and horror surrounded the idea of his slinking in again with stealthy tread, and turning his face toward the empty bed, while she shrank down close at his feet to avoid his touch, which was almost insupportable. She sat and listened. Hark! A footstep on the stairs, and now the door was slowly opening. It was but imagination, yet imagination had all the terrors of reality; nay, it was worse, for the reality would have come and gone, and there an end, but in imagination it was always coming, and never went away. The feeling which beset the child was one of dim uncertain horror. She had no fear of the dear old grandfather, in whose love for her this disease of the brain had been engendered; but the man she had seen that night, wrapt in the game of chance, lurking in her room, and counting the money by the glimmering light, seemed like another creature in his shape, a monstrous distortion of his image, a something to recoil from, and be the more afraid of, because it bore a likeness to him, and kept close about her, as he did. She could scarcely connect her own affectionate companion, save by his loss, with this old man, so like yet so unlike him. She had wept to see him dull and quiet. How much greater cause she had for weeping now! This is page 253 of 618. [Mark this Page] Mark any page to add this title to Your Bookshelf.

If we're to do the annual Jan. 1 reverie correctly, it can't all be about hopes, plans and dreams. It must also include some progress checks and how-to's.
Yes, of course Fayetteville will be watching to see how its new city manager and its new police chief handle their jobs, and that's important.
Funding for Fayetteville's downtown transit hub is secure, and work has started. But this is only a beginning, and the outcome hinges on the planning.
It would be good to see the City Council begin the new year with a more congenial attitude among its members - not phony deference and honeyed phrases, but a recognition that they're all supposed to be there for a common purpose and that civility helps things along.
The Cumberland County commissioners, along with the rest of us, will be watching a newly overhauled mental health system to see how well or how poorly it performs.
Overshadowing that and almost everything else is a state legislature now firmly in the grip of the Republican Party, from its major branches down to local boards of elections. The state budget will, as always, be balanced; no one has any choice about that. But at the expense of what constituencies and which programs will balance be achieved?
That opens the door to endless speculation. But first, consider some of what is not new and yet not settled, either.
Fifty-two weeks ago the state began kicking misdemeanants out of state prisons and into local jails. These arrangements were made lucrative for participating counties as well as for the state; but many of the convicted misdemeanants, who are being housed with accused people awaiting trial, were sent up for assault. How is this cost-saving measure working out among the local governments that took the bait?
Speaking of jails: There's some hope that the expansion of the Cumberland County jail will be completed ahead of schedule, which is almost unheard of, and good news by any standard. But when it's finished, will the crowding problem have been substantially relieved, or will the new space be quickly filled by an expanding jail population? The chief jailer's recommendation that the annex include a psychiatric wing was ignored. Will the public pay a price for that decision?
Cities are in a quandary. The legislature has explicitly told them what they may not do to ensure orderly growth at their boundaries. In a few instances it even usurped process to undo the cities' work. But it has yet to explain how cities may prevent the sprawl that develops along municipal limits in the absence of smart planning and zoning.
The northern half of Interstate 295, Fayetteville's "outer loop," is moving along. Nothing is likely to be finished this year, but the elements are in place and work is either scheduled or under way. The tangle at the foot of Murchison Road is finally getting serious attention. But there's more unfinished business.
The long stretch of Murchison between the loop and downtown is not even a work in progress. It's a place in need of work that won't get done if public scrutiny lags.
Ramsey Street is becoming a safer corridor with a smoother traffic flow - except at rush hour, when it's barely passable. What's to be done about that, and how? Is there a master plan for the long stretch of Eastern Boulevard that runs past the airport?
Interstate 95 itself is a problem, needing an upgrade that almost no one opposes. But many oppose a user fee, which translates as "toll," and lawmakers have been quick to overreact, voting to prohibit tolls before fully exploring the alternatives. So how does the job get done?
How and when will the city and county provide transitional housing for homeless families, veterans and the mentally ill?
A comprehensive parks and recreation plan has been spiked. The council needs a plan to set priorities and fund the most urgently needed elements. Then someone must make it economically and politically feasible.
The new year is, perhaps fittingly, equal parts persistence and challenge. That will leave little time for resting on laurels.

Full Time Canberra Stadium, Canberra
The RaboDirect Rebels were given a masterclass in ball protection by the Brumbies in Canberra on Saturday night, as the weight of the home side's possession saw them break through some sloppy Melbourne defence for four first-half tries.
The Rebels tried to force their way back into the match on the rare occasions when the ball did come their way, but without the composure that comes from building sustained attacking momentum they entered a vicious cycle, turning the ball over through handling errors almost as soon as they had won it.
Captain Gareth Delve said his side's performance was "very disappointing".
"We just weren't at the races. That first 30 minutes especially, we just didn't get off the line and make our tackles", said Delve.
"No excuses, tonight we just didn't come out and implement what we've put in place".
The Rebels looked unsettled from the very start of the match, with the Brumbies' unyielding control of the ball frustrating the visitors. Unable to win back possession or prevent the home side's relentless forward momentum, the Rebels repeatedly breached the offside line and were duly punished by referee Craig Joubert. Christian Lealiifano slotted two early penalty goals to give his side an early lead, before Danny Cipriani countered with a huge kick from 53m.
Unfortunately getting points on the board did nothing to calm the Rebels and bring back some structure, as the host's first try of the night came soon after. The Brumbies flooded the midfield channel from a lineout deep in Rebels territory and centre Pat McCabe brushed off a tackle from his Wallaby team-mate James O'Connor to score under the posts for a 13-3 lead.
But while the Rebels were happy to try and rein in the deficit with an O'Connor penalty, the Brumbies were looking for greater rewards. After kicking for a lineout in the corner, the Canberra side struck again when flanker Michael Hooper broke through the disorganised Rebels' defence from a rolling maul.
Another try followed just two minutes later, after a fantastic kick chase from the Brumbies won them back the ball with the Rebels in disarray. While the desperate scrambling defence stemmed the tide for a few moments, eventually lock Sam Fardy burrowed over from short distance.
Things got even worse for the Rebels when Delve was sin-binned 10 minutes before half-time, the captain ultimately paying the price for his side's repeated breakdown and offside infringements. The Brumbies quickly capitalised on their numeric advantage, with their own skipper Ben Mowen benefitting from McCabe's strong run and offload to score his team's fourth just before the break.
The Brumbies were content to sit on their 30-6 lead for much of the second half, but while the Rebels continued to battle and did win some sustained possession, it seemed the harder they tried the less things went their way. Mistakes in the scrum and lineout were compounded by further handling errors, and although the Rebels defence seemed able to handle the more subdued Brumbies attacks, eventually another missed tackle gave Fardy his brace and his team their fifth and final score.
A trip to the nation's capital awaits the RaboDirect Rebels this week, as they take on the leaders of the Australian conference, the Brumbies, in a game that could turn out to be a milestone in the 2012 FxPro Super Rugby season for both teams.
A win for Jake White's men on Saturday night is crucial if they wish to capitalise on their early-season success and stay in the race for the finals, especially with a tour of South Africa looming. Coming into this game with two consecutive losses, however, the Brumbies were no doubt perturbed to see the Rebels' resolute 34-22 victory over the Blues last Thursday night.
That staunch performance at AAMI Park sees the Melbourne side leave for Canberra glowing with confidence, and hungry for their third win of the season. Should they knock off their opponents on Saturday, the Rebels will have already matched their 2011 win tally with more than half of this year's regular season fixtures still to be played.
The Brumbies' scalp is one the Rebels already own, and proudly, after the two-time former champions became the first ever Super Rugby side to fall in Melbourne. Over 14,000 Rebels fans erupted in celebration as Danny Cipriani's last-minute penalty handed his side a famous 25-24 victory in just their second game.
While there has been some high-profile departures from the side defeated that day, namely Wallabies Matt Giteau and Adam Ashley-Cooper, the Brumbies did manage to secure equally noteworthy arrivals in former Springbok coach White and his new Assistant Coach Steven Larkham.
The man who led his national team to victory in the 2007 World Cup appears to have combined brilliantly with the talismanic former Wallaby five-eighth so far, the pair consistently coaxing out impressive performances from a team that some thought would struggle without their big-name players.
However, like all successful rugby teams, the Brumbies of 2012 are built upon a strong core. Prop Ben Alexander and hooker Stephen Moore have over 100 test caps between them, and their tireless captain Ben Mowen leads the side from the back of the scrum at No. 8. Sniping half-back Nic White seems to be linking well with both his forwards and stand-off Christian Lealiifano, who has proven himself to be an extremely reliable goalkicker and game manager.
And while most observers were already well aware of the running threat posed by Wallaby centre Pat McCabe, Jesse Mogg has quickly made a name for himself in his debut season as a formidable counter-attacking fullback.
Once again the Rebels' defence will need to step up to the task, showing great speed off the line to put the pressure back on the attacking side and force mistakes, but without sacrificing their structure.
With more world-class scrummagers to face this week, the Rebels' set piece must also be braced for the challenge – a strong scrum and lineout are vital to give the lethal Melbourne backline the best possible chance of cutting through the Brumbies' own defensive wall.
And as always in rugby, success in attack will be built upon a concerted effort from the forward pack to protect the ball in phase play, suck in defenders and build momentum for the team. The Rebels had the ball for only a third of the match against the Blues – just imagine what they could do with more.
A crisp autumn evening can always be expected in the unshielded Canberra Stadium, but the Rebels will forget all about the elements on Saturday night, with the chance of a record-equalling victory against their nearest rivals their one and only focus.

Yeah, what the title says. Basically, it's a rerun of an RP I used to participate in but unfortunately died off because of TinierMe shutting down.
(Sorry Loij, but I can't contact you for permission and I want to do this again!)
So, the RP revolves around the world of Aelenius, where the different races live together in harmony.
The world itself is very diverse, each race having a continent to call home. Though, the cities and towns where the merans dwell are usually the places where all the races get together to celebrate certain holidays. Though the world itself is overall peaceful, everything's not always fun and games. Crime rates are constantly on the rise, ranging from mere pickpockets to serial killings, or even the massacre of towns.
The Races:
Sana: The angelic race. They specialize in holy magic and the reinforcement of their allies' attack or defense, usually called "blessings". They also specialize in healing and cure magic, or in rare cases, divine combat spells. Being white feathered wing-carriers, they carry a higher social status than most. They were created by the Goddess for the sole purpose of protecting hope and justice in the world.
They have below-average physical strength and defense, but it would depend on what type of blessing spells they could cast upon themselves. They are resistant to any curse spells, and can regenerate their wounds at a faster rate than most. They rarely require sustenance from food, only requiring one meal a week. They have a lifespan of 150-300 years. Most of them are herbivores, as they would like to preserve life in the world.
Suna: The demonic race. They specialize in dark magic and the impediment of their opponents' attack or defense, usually called "curses". In short, they are the direct opposite of the Sana. They are more inclined to use combat spells, and have above-average physical strength and defense. They are also quite weak against divine magic. They adorn dark, bat-like or bony wings and tails, which are feared by some of the lesser races. They were the result of the Dark Lord's influence on some certain Sanas, and were created to spread despair and chaos across the world. But, after the Great War, they have been reclaimed by the Goddess. They now dwell in the world to find a better purpose. They have a lifespan of 130-250 years. They require regular sustenance from food like any other meran.
Elfeen: The Elven race. They specialize in nature and healing magic, having all plant life under their control. They are able to communicate with plants, and are therefore at their most powerful when in forests, and at their weakest when in cities. They have the weakest physical prowess among the races, mostly using long-ranged weapons or spells. Their most distinct feature is their long, protruding ears, and an elvish face. They are weak against most attacks, but compensate for this with very high accuracy. They were created by the Goddess to protect all plant life. They have the longest life span of all races besides the Fio, with an average lifespan of 700-1000 years. They do not require sustenance from food, as they only require the power of the sun and water.
Dyr: The beast race. They have the animal kingdom under their control, either having them as familiars or morphing into them, and have the ability to communicate with other animals. They have the the best physical strength and defense among the races, using melee weapons more often than not, though they are weak against magic. They have the features of the type of animal they associate themselves with, examples would be cat ears or bear-like fur. They were created by the Goddess to protect all animal life. They have a lifespan of 250-450 years. Because of the physical strength they so often use, they are the most gluttonous of all the races.
Fio: The vampiric race. They were the result of the Sana and the Suna crossbreeding. At first, they were considered as a "genetic error", but they slowly came to be known as a different species. They have better physical prowess than the Suna. They also often use melee weapons, and are also strong against magic. But as a nocturnal species, all these attributes go down the drain once the sun rises. They become weaker than Merans during daytime.
They have both the shortest and the longest lifespan, ranging from 10 years to immortal. If one wishes to expand their lifespan, one must drink the blood of someone from any race besides the Sana, since Sana blood is like poison to them.
Meran: The human race. They were also the result of the Sana and the Suna crossbreeding, having a neutral affinity between order and mischeif. The Merans are well-rounded in terms of abilities, as they have average strength, average magical abilities, and average weaknesses. They have a lifespan of about 60-90 years, and are required to eat meals regularly.
Yeah, I'll fix up the other races. I think you guys get the general idea. I wish to look for someone who can co-GM this with me, as I am not very good with lore and locations.
That's pretty much it, I guess... Like I said, I request for someone to help me with this. Thanks in advance ^o^
(Be warned: I prefer anime pics >:T)

Is Obama to Blame for High Gas Prices? >
Gas Prices Shouldn't Be a Political Football
Only by lowering our gasoline and oil consumption can we protect against high gas prices
March 2, 2012
The solution to high gas prices is to use less oil, not more. We have the technologies to cut our projected oil use in half in 20 years and save consumers billions of dollars every year.
Gas prices are high today because the United States and the world use a lot of oil, which every day is getting dirtier, more expensive, and harder to get. If we want to place blame for current high gas prices we need to look to politicians from both parties who, for more than 40 years, have highlighted the problem of oil dependence but never delivered on a sustained effort to do something about it.
[What Obama and Ben Bernanke Should Do About Gas Prices.]
The Union of Concerned Scientists has developed a plan to cut America's projected oil consumption in half by 2030 by boosting the fuel economy of all forms of transportation, producing clean biofuels, expanding public transportation, delivering the next generation of electric cars, and improving efficiency in industries and homes that rely on oil. Implementing this suite of solutions would save consumers money; provide for a safer, more diverse American energy future; and make the United States a leader in addressing global climate change.
Our plan outlines a comprehensive set of solutions and clear path forward for lowering oil consumption. What our plan does not do is go back to the belief that we can drill our way to lower prices. Despite what some will claim, drilling is no silver bullet for combatting high gas prices. When we consume nearly 25 percent of the world's petroleum, yet hold only about 2 percent of the proven reserves, drilling for more oil won't help.
[Republicans Aggressively Gouging Obama Over Gas Prices.]
The Obama administration has already taken some of the steps in our plan. The biggest was to put forward two rounds of standards that will double the fuel economy of new cars and light trucks by 2025, saving consumers billions of dollars and cutting America's oil dependence by 3.5 million barrels per day in 2030. That is more oil than we currently import from the entire Middle East. But we must do more.
If the nation is going to finally deal with high gas prices, the administration must go further by committing to cut oil dependence in half in 20 years. And future presidents, no matter the party, must sustain and expand on those efforts instead of turning gas prices into a political football.

Hewlett Packard and Tektronix did this for years. You buy what you know. Its a great strategy. I would think companies would be breaking down the door to 'donate' their stuff to schools.
