Legal Blogs
- Legal to Ban Children from Your Business?: A restaurant in Pennsylvania made headlines this week with its ban on children under the age of 6.

- Top 5 Legal Reasons to Stay Married: Love is not always sunshine and roses. Many marriages often lead to bitter disputes, and unfortunately, divorce. But, for those who don't necessarily want to call it quits, FindLaw's Law & Daily Life looks at some top legal reasons to stay married and not get divorced.
- Legal for Cops to Use iPhone Facial Recognition?: Police can soon use their iPhones for facial recognition software, which has led many to wonder about whether or not facial recognition software is legal without a warrant. The new device attaches onto the humble smartphone, or in this instance, is easily attachable to an iPhone. Police officers can take a picture of the suspect, or scan the suspect's eyes. The image is then compared to a criminal database. FindLaw Blotter asks if this newfangled technology actually an invasion of privacy, and does it require some sort of search warrant.
Core Content

By: Jenée Desmond-Harris Posted: March 28 2012 10:10 AM 0 Michelle Obama is scheduled to deliver the commencement address at North Carolina A&T on May 12, the White House announced today. The first lady seems to be making it a point to visit historically black colleges and universities: In 2011 she spoke at Spelman, and in 2010 she addressed the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff. And both she and the president have recognized the important contributions of HBCUs and have publicly recognized their successes. This year the rest of her commencement-addresses schedule includes Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University (Virginia Tech), North Carolina Agriculture and Technical State University (North Carolina A&T) and Oregon State University.

Looks like I'm being tested once again.
My father-in-law passed away unexpectedly last Monday. I had to help make arrangements and clean his house all last week plus try to console my wife and her family. The funeral was on Thursday.
On Friday I had to head out of town for work and worked 38 hours over the weekend (Friday - Sunday). Now I have to work my regular job plus work with our family business pretty much every evening for the next five or six weeks since my mom had knee surgery and is out of commision for a few weeks. I also have to work the next five weekends. I will be averaging 75 - 85 hours of work a week. During this time I also have to find time to help my wife and her brother and sister prepare their dad's house to sell.
I will be lucky to find two hours a week to ride for the next six weeks. I haven't been on the bike in over a week and I haven't even been able to think about building the two new bikes I have setting in my home. I am already exhausted and I am just getting started.
Oh yeah, you should see my in box, my e-mails, and my list of voice mails from missing work the past week.
Okay....I feel better now.....well, not really but it sounds good at least.

CIO: Consider 'lessons learned' before implementing open source EHRs
Open source electronic health record systems such as VistA are better than closed proprietary systems in terms of development, innovation and continuous quality improvement, but providers can still make the transition run more smoothly, according to Peter Groen, former CIO of Atlanta VA Medical Center.
"Using an open source product reduces risk and supports the goal of vendor independence," Groen said in a July 6 blog post. "If a vendor is inadequate, other companies or technical staff are readily available in the community to take over and provide support."
Groen, offered several lessons learned in implementing an EHR, which he notes can be applied to both open and closed EHR systems. Some of the recommendations include:
- Preparing a strategic plan and document IT architecture and standards
- Ensuring that the architecture and standards lead to interoperability and the use of health information exchange
- Establishing an organizational structure and appointing senior executive staff to make key decisions about EHR implementation
- Preparing a detailed project plan and policies and procedures
- Obtaining funding
- Ensuring open communication
- Involving unions, if applicable to your health care organization
- Ensuring that the EHR has the functionality you're looking for
- Making sure that you have the appropriate level of highly trained technical support staff
Groens' concerns echo those made by other hospital CIOs, who have also admitted to road bumps on the way to implementation. Some have suggested that better planning and communication would boost acceptance of the EHR by clinicians, and that lack of standards and interoperability have hampered implementation efforts.

Hello all,
I am new this year to mountain biking coming from a few years of Road. I have a few probably low-level questions that I would like some advice from the veterans here.
I have ridden mostly single-track trails before work the past month and am wondering:
1. my bike got dirty, obviously, how sort of tools do I need to properly clean it? How often should I do so?
2. What types of tools, cartidges, etc, should I carry in the bag under my seat? Typically I'm not that far from my car but how does Road maintenance vary from mtb? Are mtb flats more or less common than road?
Thanks for any advice (more entry level question coming over the summer).

Jennifer Lawrence
Is Jennifer Lawrence Dating Josh Hutcherson? You Asked, We Answered!
While Katniss Everdeen has her hands full trying to decide between Peeta Mellark (Josh Hutcherson) and Gale Hawthorne (Liam Hemsworth), Jennifer Lawrence has less of a problem when it comes to boys. But while she's been publicly linked to another actor, a lot of you asked the Internet one big question: Is it onscreen partner in crime Josh who's got her heart?
The short answer? No. As much as we wish for a Peeta-Katniss romance in real life, their chemistry exists on the big screen only. But that doesn't mean Jen has never fallen for a co-star. JLaw and actor Nicholas Hoult met on the set of X Men: First Class in 2010, and started dating shortly after.
Though they advanced into the spotlight at different speeds, with Jennifer being nominated for an Oscar for 2010's Winter's Bone, then shooting to stardom in The Hunger Games and Silver Linings Playbook — for which she did receive the Academy Award — Nick and Jen seemed to stay strong. Unfortunately, the pair broke up in January 2013, citing hectic schedules and long distances as the cause for destruction.
Back in happier days, Jen told Elle of Nicholas, who made a big wave in Warm Bodies, "He is honestly my best friend, and hopefully I'm his best friend, too. He's my favorite person to be around and he makes me laugh harder than anybody."
It must've been too hard for them to stay apart, since they were spotted back together in August, shortly after meeting back up on set for X-Men: Days of Future Past. First, they arrived arm-in-arm at a wrap party, then they sat cozy at a screening Hugh Jackman threw, and a couple days later, they had a cozy picnic by the water.
We haven't seen more photos of our best friend and her boyfriend, but she's been slammed with photo calls and premieres for Hunger Games: Catching Fire, as well as work on American Hustle and several other projects. We love when Jen's in love, so we're hoping she and Nick can figure out a way to mesh their schedules better!
But, hey, if not? Well, she can always count on Peeta.

Amanda Seyfried Mentions Kristen Stewart and Twilight in "Interview" Magazine
As we previously reported, Amanda Seyfried of the upcoming film Red Riding Hood recently did an Q&A interview with the very talented Justin Timberlake for Interview magazine. In this interview, Amanda was asked about her upcoming film and the references to Twilight :
TIMBERLAKE: It seems like a lot of people are comparing Red Riding Hood to the Twilight series. How does that make you feel?
SEYFRIED: I think it's hard not to compare Red Riding Hood because Catherine [Hardwicke] directed the first Twilight. But Red Riding Hood is a very different film. I mean, yeah, there's a love triangle, and people can easily compare the relationship between Kristen Stewart and those two guys in Twilight to the Valerie, Henry, and Peter characters in this movie, but we have so many elements that make it completely different. Nobody knows who the wolf is in our movie. And we've modernized the story and added so many levels to it and created our own story around the iconic center, which is the girl in the woods who talks to the wolf, and has a great relationship with her grandmother, and all those symbols. But we obviously had to take the story to a whole other level in order to make it a full-length film, so that's what we did.
TIMBERLAKE: But I would imagine that it's hard to do something like a Little Red Riding Hood adaptation because that story could be interpreted in so many different ways.
SEYFRIED: I know, and what we've done is just one way. We're just telling a story—our version of the story. It's not everybody's version of the story, but it's the way we wanted to make it, and therefore, there it is. If you don't like it, then tough. [laughs] Plus, Twilight doesn't have Gary Oldman, now does it?

Compassion breathes along the savage mind.

Little-Known Treatment Delivers Fast Pain Relief
How Far Infrared Heat Can Eliminate Pain and Speed Healing
It is time to throw out your old-fashioned heating pad and look to far-infrared heat for pain relief, according to back pain specialist Jesse Cannone, co-founder of the Healthy Back Institute.
Normal heat, like that produced by a traditional heating pad, is only able to heat the skin and it does not penetrate deep into the tissues. A far infrared wavelength of light - not visible to the human eye -- warms a person or object without warming the air between the source and the object. This way of heating is called conversion and is energy-efficient. But more important, it's able to penetrate deep into your tissue which makes it much more effective.
The Mayo Clinic reported that far infrared heat delivers health benefits on top of helping reduce your back pain. In a study published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology, the Mayo Clinic showed how far infrared heat therapy significantly lowers your blood pressure, helps you lose weight faster, lowers your blood sugar, significantly increases your blood flow and circulation, lowers your cholesterol and lowers your triglycerides (too much of this is linked to coronary artery disease).
"The Mayo Clinic study suggests far infrared heat therapy even lowers your risk of getting arteriosclerosis," Cannone added.
"If you're trying to manage chronic back, neck or leg pain, a
far infrared heating pad
could be the single greatest investment you'll make - ever," Cannone said. "If you use it for just a 30-minute session, the pain relief can last for up to six hours."
"You can get all these benefits without diets, exercises or months of treatments -- not that those aren't good for you," Cannone said. "We should all eat right and exercise. But most of us could use a little extra help, too."
"At the Healthy Back Institute, the far infrared heating pad has quickly become one of the most popular items among our clients," Cannone said. "Our clients report great results. Our pad can give you the right amount of deep heat to relieve your pain."

Genius Mao
Fading of Wild Lilies
From its birth, China's Communist revolution was a red revolution, since it followed the Russian revolution. The dominance of red in the communist symbolic system was incredibly fortunate for the Chinese Communists, given the importance of the various reds within Chinese colour. This paper looks at the specific symbolism attached to the various reds, in their pre-revolutionary, revolutionary and post-revolutionary usages.
This paper discusses both threats and sustaining forces that will shape the future of traditional Chinese surname and home-district associations around the world.
This paper suggests that conventional formulations of rural transformation are inadequate and indicates that McGee's concept of desakota is a useflil device to account for spatial changes in the wake of policy change. The delta is not, however, an homogeneous entity. The paper identifies four distinct patterns of development and relates them to historical, locational, and political factors and suggests that distinct and highly local social values have an important role to play.
During the 1980s, rural industry emerged as China's most dynamic sector. How did China's rural enterprises emerge, develop, and become an engine of growth? To shed light on this question, this paper presents six case studies of rural enterprises. At the time of the field study, four of the enterprises were collectively owned (two by townships. one by a village, and one by two teams in the same village), and two were private enterprises.
This paper raises questions concerning the transformation of the Pearl River Delta region over a forty year period. It discusses the management of change in a variety of field sites, which include the Overseas Chinese area of the western delta, the commercialized heartland of Shunde, and extensively industrialized Dongguan. It also includes the case of Tsuen Wan in Hong Kong's New Territories, in which the process of industrial transformation not merely proceeded the other cases by two decades but is also very similar in form, despite a distinct colonial political context.
The zilujiang Delta region in southern China has since the reforms undergone a process of dramatic economic and spatial transformation. This study examines the dynamics of economic change and assesses its spatial and environmental consequences. My analysis of data from Nanhai County reveals that the local economy has moved away from the impasse of "involutionary growth," or "growth without development," to enter a new era of genuine "transformative development." The transformation of the local economy has been fueled primarily by the upsurge of rural industry, but agriculture has not been wiped out completely despite rapid rural industrialization. The development of numerous small-scale and labor-intensive industries in the countryside has created substantial employment opportunities to absorb the surplus rural labor force and resulted in a distinct pattern of urbanization of the countryside wherein industrial/agricultural or urban/rural activities stand side by side. Recent economic development in the delta region has been a result of the state's relaxed control over the local economy, not a consequence of any active government intervention. Contrary to the conventional expectation, the de-collectivization of the production system has not undermined the importance of the collective sector. A new type of peasant economy, motivated primly by local collective initiative and shaped by free market forces, is quickly taking shape in the post-reformed zilujiang Delta region.
During the 1980s, China imported an impressive amount of technology. But size alone cannot measure the success of China's technology import program. An equally, if not more, relevant success criterion is how effectively did China use its opportunity to import technology. The purpose of this paper is to shed light on this question. Survey evidence from Jiangsu suggests that China's experience with technology import during the 1980s was at best uneven. Many import projects did not did not begin production on time and the increase in output was significantly less than expected. Among the problems uncovered were inadequate planning, poor preparation, wasteful duplication, and an inability to adapt the imported technology to local conditions. Such problems undoubtedly will continue to trouble China's technology program in the 1990s, but there are reasons for optimism. The most important ones are a significant hardening of the budget constraint faced by industrial enterprises, the increased reliance on foreign direct investment as a vehicle for technology transfer, and the fact that production and R&D are no longer strictly separated.
This paper deals with the internationalization of Hong Kong and raises questions about economic, political, and cultural change within an increasingly globalised context, but one in which Hong Kong's links to China have changed significantly over time.
The New Territories of Hong Kong, which was "leased" to Britain in 1898 for 99 years, was the ostensible reason for Britain and China to begin discussions that led to the announcement that on June 30, 1997, China will resume sovereignty over British-administered Hong Kong, including those territories that were ceded "in perpetuity". This paper discusses the history of the New Territories, and changes in the contemporary period.
The implementation of China's "open door" policy since 1979 has significantly strengthened social and economic linkages between Hong Kong and Guangdong Province. This study examines the processes and consequences of regional integration in southern China. The relocation of manufacturing activity from Hong Kong to Guangdong has not displayed a spatial tendency of concentration in large urban centres. The existence of personal kinship ties, an improved transport infrastructure, an abundant supply of cheap labor and land space, and the lack of strict regulations on environmental pollution have combined to make the suburban area between Hong Kong and Guangzhou a place no less attractive than a conjested large city to Hong Kong manufacturers. The inflow of capital and manufacturing facilities has quickened the pace of Chinese rural industrialization and facilitated a distinct urbanization process whereby a great number of surplus rural laborers entered factories in the countryside without having to move into cities. The intrusion of global capitalism has also changed the culture, behavior, and lifestyle of the local Chinese people.
Generated from my previous research on Taiwanese direct investment in southern China, this paper addresses the issues of the transformation of transnational networks of Chinese capitalists, and the relationship between the Chinese state and the network in the last two decades. Four research agenda are proposed: the global-local reform coalition established between overseas Chinese capitalists and local Chances states; the competition among the states of Taiwan, Singapore, and other Pacific Rim countries to participate and shape the expanding networks of Chinese capitalists; the intersection between diversities of Chinese capitalisms and shifting Chinese identities; and the impact of expansive overseas Chinese capital in China on the development of local Chinese cities and towns. Some preliminary thoughts on methodologies are presented at the end of the paper.
The development of market socialism in China has contributed to a remarkable spatial economic transformation in particular areas of the Chinese countryside. The conventional wisdom of existing theories of urban transition does not adequately explain the emergence of these open textured landscapes of mixed agricultural and non-agricultural activities. This paper examines some of the key processes and mechanisms of regional restructuring in one county level jurisdiction in the lower Yangzi delta. A case study of Kunshan situated the emergence of specific patterns of industrial production within a complex network of interactions and interrelationships embedded in overlapping administrative and institutional structures which are themselves largely tied to the circumstances of particularly places. Two central findings are revealed. First, the patterns and underlying processes and mechanisms of regional development in the delta are fundamentally linked to intensely localized exigencies and opportunities within the wider space economy. Second, external economies, the dynamics of agglomeration, and the role of large cities and other exogenous forces, while significant, were less important in the delta than were endogenous forces. The paper concludes by highlighting a number of issues which need to be accommodated in a new conceptual framework for understanding and explaining urbanization in China's lower Yangzi delta.
This paper investigates how China's basic-level Communist Party organizations have adapted to economic and other reforms in the post-Mao era. It disagrees with common interpretations which overemphasize the decline and disintegration of these organizations in the face of marketization. Instead, it argues that the party organizations are actively responding to their changed environment, and incorporating in the process three different and often contradictory institutions or logics--Leninism, marketization, and organizational reform--that make up that changed environment. Thus, the paper suggests that in the future, the Chinese Communist Party may demonstrate greater resilience than is often supposed.
This paper explores how families make decisions on whether to allocate labour to household, market, or state-sector economic activities. It is based on fieldwork and interviews conducted in twelve villages spread across Shanghai, Jiangsu, and Zhejiang provinces. It finds that these villages can be grouped into three "types," which offer very different employment opportunities to their residents. The paper concludes that, in fact, few villagers have a real ability to choose between jobs in all three sectors. Their opportunities, and thus their choices, are largely explained by a combination of infrastructure availability, levels of state employment, abundance of household means of production, and gender norms in their particular locality.
Many scholars believe the growth of markets, increased information, and economic development in the Third World inevitably leads to political democratization. But this paper argues that China's future liberalization depends on its property rights regime, the balance between expanding market forces and the rational interest of self-seeking bureaucrats, global economic pressures, and the willingness of China's leaders to push economic reforms in the face of social instability and political resistance. In particular, bureaucrats, who earn "rents" from China's "mixed economy," need to continue to regulate domestic and international exchanges. Therefore, rather than shift from a centrally planned economy to one dominated by market forces, China has moved to a form of local economic corporatism. Globally, it has not shifted to a totally interdependent relationship with the world economy; instead it pursues an "industrial policy" and mercantilist strategy. Finally, because of its property rights regime, China is generating a "middle strata" of mayors, director of development zones, factory managers and others who are part of a dominant economic network, rather than a large and powerful middle class. Therefore China lacks the key political force that would link market reform and political democratization.
China's economic reform since 1978 has brought profound change not only to the functioning of the state organization but also to the structuring of the space economy. Prior to the reform, the Maoist regime introduced a system of state socialism featuring a centrally planned economy, an anti-commercialism ideology, and a development strategy that aimed at the rapid growth of industrial output. Important characteristics of the Maoist plan-ideological space include an uneven economic landscape dominated by the northern manufacturing heartland, a rigid urban hierarchy vertically integrated by a few large cities, and an "invisible wall" separating urban and rural settlements. The post-reform market-regulatory regime has decentralized the power of decision making, allowed a market economy to "grow out of the plan," and freed state control over some peripheral areas that are not indispensable to the growth of the national economy. This has given rise to a distinct developmental landscape marked by the rapid expansion of new production space in South China, small towns, and the vast countryside. Spatial restructuring in post-reform China has been primarily a result of state disarticulation rather than increased state intervention. Distinction needs to be made between "nation-state" and "local-state" for a better understanding of the operating mechanism of regional development. To solve the mystery of China's spatial restructuring requires a comprehensive approach that moves beyond the traditional east-west regional dichotomy and concentrates on the shifting emphasis of the production space between North and South China, between large cities and small towns, and between cities and the countryside.
In the literature of the history of the Chinese Communist revolution, the revolution has been commonly viewed as a peasant revolution, the Communist take-over of urban China as a military victory, and the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) as alien to urban settings and as weak vis-à-vis the Chinese bourgeoisie, and the CCP leadership was basically united in the early years of its rule. Drawing upon recently available materials, this paper attempts to revisit some of the conventional wisdom by a case study of the CCP leadership in Shanghai from 1949 to 1955. It explores the role of underground Communist activists before and during the take-over of this largest Chinese city, the composition of its municipal leadership, the Communists' strength and weakness vis-à-vis the Shanghai bourgeoisie, and intra-elite conflicts in the post-1949 period. The exploration leads to the conclusions that the CCP's considerable urban strength contributed to its victory over the Chinese bourgeoisie as well as the Kuomintang. Although the CCP leadership in general appeared to be relatively united then, elite strife was very serious within the leadership of Shanghai.

By Derek Lacey / Staff Writer
Mint Hill town staff and Mecklenburg County staff have come to an agreement to remedy the overpayment made by the County for the fire service district tax.
The solution would defray the approximately $176,000 overpayment made to the town from the county, due to a miscalculation in projected tax revenue from Mint Hill's extraterritorial jurisdiction, or ETJ, which the county estimated at $500,000, but which turned out to be only around $276,000.
The overpayment would be defrayed against a payment of $175,000 which was made to the county by the town a few years ago, to keep the Mint Hill branch library afloat.
Both Bobbie Shields, interim Mecklenburg County manager and Brian Welch, Mint Hill town manager, have been authorized to enter into the agreement to defray the payment by their respective boards.
At the June 13 Mint Hill Board of Commissioners meeting, Brian Welch presented the pan to the Board of Commissioners, where they authorized him to enter into the agreement.
The final numbers of the arrangement have not been finalized, as the county is continuing to collect money and the exact amount of the overpayment has not been discovered, but Welch said if the difference between the overpayment and the money paid for the library is small, one or two thousand dollars, it will most likely be forgiven.
The resolution is an improvement from the plan the county seemed to be favoring at their May 21 meeting, a repayment by the residents of Mint Hill's ETJ via a one-cent tax increase which would last until the money was regained by the county.
In a memo written by Welch to the Mint Hill Board of Commissioners on the matter, his main points for not following the county's discussed plan were that no payback was warranted due to the fire service being provided at the highest level, and that, "It is not fair to impose a tax increase on residents of the ETJ due to a mistake made by the County."
Moving forward, the town will meet with Idlewild Volunteer Fire Department and Mint Hill Volunteer Fire Department to finalize monies that will be absorbed by the town once the deal with the county is finalized.
Both IVFD Finance Committee and the MHVFD Board of Directors voted to support this plan in their June meetings, before Welch presented it to the Mint Hill Board of Commissioners.

I should warn you about Ammado – the directors are Peter Conlon and Anna Kupka and they are also directors of Xsil (www.xsil.com). They refused to pay staff there in September 2008. They refused also to pay any notice period or holiday pay or health insurance. The landlord also claims to be owed one million euro.
The staff (many with children) were forced to enter the Christmas period without any money. Only this week (January 9th) were staff given their P45s (the document needed by staff to apply for other jobs). This was after several weeks. Peter Conlon has stated that he will not pay wages, in spite of: http://www.timesonline.co.uk/richlist/person/0,,46711,00.html.
For more information, read this:
Other institutions are investigating Mr Conlon's activities such as Enterprise Ireland who provided him with grants and who feel he misused them.
Please be sensible: if people want to give to charity, then they should just give to charity and not use Ammado.
Thank you.

The F-86 was the first operational allied swept-wing jet fighter and was also reputedly the first aeroplane to break the sound barrier when on 1 October 1947 (shortly before Captain Charles 'Chuck' Yeager's official sonic boom in the Bell X-I) North American test pilot George Welch exceeded Mach 1 during a test flight in the prototype, the XP-86.
As well as an axial-flow jet engine, swept-wings and a swept-tail other innovations included a highly ergonomic cockpit with outstanding visibility and powered flying controls.
The first production run was the 'A' model, one of which scored the first swept-wing victory over a MiG-15 during the Korean War. The type was continuously developed and went on to have a long and successful career: it was the first jet-powered fighter operated by many countries and remained in active front-line service until 1994. The Sabre was the most produced Western jet fighter and nearly 10,000 of the series were built.
This book focuses on 48-178, the only example of the original 'A' model variant that remains airworthy.

Alpha-TAC's ExtremeBeam Tac24 Series - Tactical Lighting Unlike Any Other
Chevalier Advertising Press Release
Many flashlight companies boast that lumens produced in their products are higher than any other light on the market. It is often assumed that these higher lumen lights are brighter and of better quality than other lights and they often come with an astonishing price tag as well, but is it worth it? While it is true that lumens is the measurement for a lightÆs volume, that number is irrelevant if you are not harnessing the full power of a high lumen bulb.
Alpha-TACÆs ExtremeBeam TAC24 S.W.A.T. flashlight is a testament to the effectiveness of quality engineering and manufacturing. The single high-intensity mode flashlight features 340 lumen bulb has a projection of 1,300 feet making it easily the brightest light in its class and outshines the competition that pride themselves with higher lumen bulbs.
The key to the TAC24Æs brightness is its finely crafted reflecting cone that captures nearly all of the light produced by the LED bulb. While most flashlight companies press their reflecting cones and give them an ôorange peel textureö, the TAC24 features a reflecting cone slowly machined from high-density bar Stock aluminum to ensure smoothness and reflective power unmatched by any in the industry.
The brilliance in engineering of the TAC24 doesnÆt stop with its lighting power. On the other end of these flashlights is the ExtremeBeam patented Anti-Recoil« system. Inside most tactical lights there is nothing more than a coated spring to protect the fragile inner workings of the bulb, batteries, and circuit board. The Anti-Recoil« system, found in all ExtremeBeam flashlights, was engineered to do what springs do not û protect the light from the extreme force of recoil (up to .50 BMG).
Also available in the TAC24 series is the SR3 model. It features high, low and flash modes, a 330-lumen bulb with a projection of 1,200 feet that is still able to outshine the competition, while and all of the remarkable engineering characteristics found in the S.W.A.T. model.
When picking up either model from the TAC24 Series the difference between them and other flashlights that claim to be the best in their class will be instantly noticeable. The body of TAC24 flashlights are machined from solid bar aluminum and are micro-textured to create a sharkskin feel and retain a solid grip even when wet. The flashlights also feature double O-ring water tight seals, a tri-cut glass lens for added durability, square cut threads to ensure they are never cross threaded, and an Anti-Glare Stealth Coat.
Perhaps as equally impressive as the quality of the TAC24 lights are their price. The TAC24 S.W.A.T. has an MSRP of $99.95 and $109.95 for the SR3 model. Both models are also available in bundle packages, with an MSRP of $159.95. Bundle packages also include two rechargeable 18650 batteries, a lithium battery recharger, and nylon holster.
The TAC24, like all flashlights from ExtremeBeam, are put through a one-hour burn test before they leave the factory and come with a limited lifetime warranty that even covers destruction - no questions asked (although they would love to hear your story).

Hi and thank you for your question. In the future, you can request me to answer any further questions.
Tough case here.
First of all, you take subject to the lien by the lender on the car, so if you recorded a lien on the car, you would be 2nd in line.
If he files bankruptcy, any claim of breach of contract, whether verbal or written, would be a debt he can discharge in the bankruptcy.
Unfortunately, there is no code section you could attack the dischargeability of the debt on, unless you can prove fraud in a written contract, so, if only verbal agreement, I would say you can be out of luck.
Since his case is filed, you cannot sue him on any claim, without obtaining court permission to do so, and unless you can prove the debt should be non-dischargeable, which I don't think you can, i think your only option is to see if you can either pay off the balance to the lender, or negotiate with the lender to purchase the vehicle.
It is unfortunate that this happened, but I don't see any recourse you would have.
You can discuss the matter with a local bankruptcy attorney, but it may be an uphill battle.
and a losing effort at that. I wish I had better news for you
Thank you for your question, though, good luck. PS the code section that would be your best chance is here: http://doney.net/bkcode/11usc0523.htm

- Beware of Oncoming Left Turners
- Ride Your Own Ride
- Watch Out for Curves
- Don't Give In to Road Rage
- Don't allow Tailgating
- Don't Be Blinded by the glare of the sun
- Avoid Riding at Night
Maintain your bike so it is safe too. Check your tires, chains, clutch cables, batteries, brakes, etc. Failure to maintain your bike could contribute to a motorcycle accident. Ride with a buddy if at all possible. Avoid riding long distances alone. It goes without saying that you shouldn't drink and ride. Going bar hopping? Walk or take a cab. Your life and the life of others are too valuable.

Workman Named to Academic All-America Softball Squad
June 4, 1998
LUBBOCK, Texas - Texas Tech infielder Paula Workman was named to softball's GTE Academic All-America third team earlier today. The team is selected by the College Sports Information Directors of America.
A dietetics major from Spicewood, Texas, Workman has maintained a 4.0 GPA for the past four semesters. She was honored earlier this season with the Dr. Margaret E. Wilson Academic Achievement Award, selected to the Academic All-Big 12 team and named to the President's Honor Roll.
This season Workman started in 57 of Tech's 64 games. She had a team high seven homeruns and an overall batting average of .310. In the field, Workman notched 68 putouts, while leading the team in assists with 132.
"This is a great honor for Paula. She is an exemplary student-athlete who works hard on the diamond and in the classroom. We expect more great things out of her in the coming years," Texas Tech Head Coach Renee Luers-Gillispie said.

Backbone Autocomplete view made with browserified projects in mind
Backbone Autocomplete view made with browserify style projects in mind.
It's a very straight up nested view with a filtered collection.
The view exposes a simple API. It's instanciated with a pre-existing collection, and when subclassing you are able to override some of its internal methods for your own logic.
The view takes standard parameters,
collection etc, and also an option
minimumInputLength if you want to restrict searching until the input length is above a certain value. It defaults to zero (this might not be so great).
By default, the view uses a field called 'name' from the models in the collection for searching. If you want to set your own, you can pass it as
searchField when instantiating.
Callback fired by the view when a user selects something by clicking on it, or by pressing enter after using the arrow keys
Method bound to the view instance, which is passed to
this.collection.filter(..) as the method to determine if the model from the parent collection should be included in the results. The current value of the user input box is available on
this.searchValue. Example below.
var AutocompleteView = require'backbone-autocomplete'; // example in browserified code var someNames = person: 'Bob' person: 'Barry' person: 'Alfred' person: 'James' person: 'Sylvia' person: 'Maureen' person: 'Alice' var MyAutocomplete = AutocompleteViewextend console.logmodel; // method passed to filter(..) on the collection var label = modelgetthissearchFieldtoLowerCase; // the method is bound to the view, with current value of the user input available as `this.searchValue` var searchValue = thissearchValuetoLowerCasetrim; if labelindexOfsearchValue !== -1 return true; else return false; ; var nameCompletion = searchField: 'person' // setting the field to use as a search collection: someNames; nameCompletionrender;documentbodyappendChildnameCompletionel;

WILMINGTON � The surviving members of the Wilmington 10 and family members of the four deceased members are to receive their certificates of pardon in the city where their troubles started.
The ceremony is scheduled for Saturday at Gregory Congregational United Church of Christ in Wilmington. Attorneys James Ferguson and Irving Joyner represented the 10 civil rights activists from 1971 until their pardons and will present the pardons.
As one of her last actions in office, Gov. Beverly Perdue granted pardons of innocence Monday to the 10, who were wrongly convicted 40 years ago in a notorious prosecution that led to accusations the state was holding political prisoners.
The 10 were sentenced for the firebombing of a Wilmington grocery store during three days of violence.

LED lighting products are becoming more and more prevalent. The market for these products is extensive; practically any traditional method of lighting can be replaced with a planet-friendly LED version. LEDs make an excellent domestic light source because of their long life and excellent energy efficiency.
Components for LED lighting design must be selected carefully to ensure that they meet the lifetime and energy efficiency requirements of the end products. These requirements can be demanding – LED lighting products may have an expected lifetime of more than 40,000 hours, for example. It's therefore crucial that all parts of the circuit are able to meet these requirements.
Ceramic capacitors in this type of circuit can be subject to high voltages and conditions unlike those usually seen in domestic appliance applications. These conditions can adversely affect the lifetime of ceramic capacitors which can mean they fail before the minimum lifetime of the end product is reached. This article explains the root of the problem and makes recommendations for ensuring ceramic capacitors do not cause lifetime problems for LED lighting products.
Typical conditions in LED circuitry
A typical LED lighting circuit is shown in figure 1. For C1, C2, and C3 safety recognised capacitors should be selected that are rated AC 250Vrms.
C6 is the snubber capacitor for the diode; parts rated to withstand DC 250V to DC 630V are needed and these can have X7R temperature characteristic. For C7, the snubber capacitor of the FET, a higher voltage rating of DC 630V to DC 1kV is necessary, and we recommend type U2J temperature compensated capacitors. C8 is the smoothing capacitor for the secondary circuit for which any part rated to 100V should be sufficient.
The capacitors in the circuit subject to the harshest conditions are C4 and C5, which act as AC smoothing or noise filter capacitors for the primary circuit. The typical working voltage on these capacitors is the full-wave rectified waveform shown in figure 2. X7R capacitors that are rated to DC 250V are often (wrongly) chosen for C4 and C5. The problem is that when high dielectric constant capacitors like these are subjected to full-wave rectified voltages, they succumb to the electrostrictive effect, which can cause fatal cracks in the dielectric material.
Figure 1. A typical LED lighting circuit.
Figure 2. Typical voltage waveform across C4 and C5.
The electrostrictive effect applies to all dielectric materials. When an AC voltage is applied, the capacitor effectively stretches and shrinks in the different dimensions, as shown in figure 3. Mechanical distortion and stress concentrate around the edge of the external electrode of the capacitor. If the AC voltage is large, and the material has sufficient dielectric properties, after some time cracks can form under the external electrode which can lead to catastrophic short circuit failure of the component.
Figure 3. Effects of the electrostrictive effect.
Mitigating the electrostrictive effect
There are a number of ways in which we can mitigate the electrostrictive effect with specially designed capacitor structure.
The first factor to take into account is the thickness of the dielectric material between the inner electrodes of the capacitor. This has a direct effect on the magnitude of the electrostrictive phenomenon. When constructing high voltage capacitors, it's therefore essential to ensure the dielectric layer is thick enough to reduce the chip capacitor's internal mechanical stress.
Secondly, the structure of the inner electrodes can contribute to the electrostrictive effect. Typical inner electrode structure is shown in figure 4(b). By comparison, figure 4(a) shows one of several types of high voltage capacitor. The centre area of this structure (marked red in the figure) is not active, and is therefore free from the effects of the electrostrictive phenomenon. This is one of several ways that it s possible to protect capacitors from internal mechanical stress.
Figure 4. Inner electrode structure
Additionally, thickness of the outer layer of the dielectric (the 'dummy' layer) can influence the formation of cracks. This layer is where cracks usually begin, so increasing its thickness, and thereby its mechanical strength, can help increase the lifetime of these products.
Last but not least, properties of the dielectric material itself can play a part, since it is only high dielectric constant materials that experience this effect.
Overall, the conditions experienced by ceramic capacitors in LED lighting circuits should not be underestimated. It is my experience that selecting the wrong capacitor can adversely affect the lifetime of the end product due to crack formation in the dielectric material of these capacitors. When designing this type of product, designers should take care to ensure they use adequately rated chip ceramic capacitors, with superior structure to mitigate the electrostrictive effect described above.

Police in Cornelius, near Charlotte, have released surveillance video of a car theft two weeks ago.
The thieves took a car belonging to Denny Hamlin, one of NASCAR's rising stars.
Video shows two men taking the black Lexus LS 460-L from the driveway. They were followed by a woman driving the car they'd arrived in.
A neighbor says the burglary was especially brazen, considering the car was taken from the very back of the culdesac, which is surrounded by expensive homes with a lot of security.
Police hope releasing the video will help them find the people responsible.

Queens Cops Handcuff First-Grader After Easter Egg Decorating TantrumMeredith Carroll
First there were the cops in Colorado earlier this month who pepper sprayed a second grader to calm him down, and now comes New York's finest in Queens who handcuffed a first-grader after he had a meltdown over Easter eggs.
Joseph Anderson, 7, is a special education student at Public School 153 in Maspeth. On April 13th, he was taken away in metal cuffs despite the fact that his mom informed school officials she was on her way to pick him up. Officials say the measure was taken in an effort to protect Anderson and his classmates.
Anderson was upset in class because the color of the Easter eggs he was decorating didn't come out the way he had imagined. He suffers from attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, delayed speech and emotional problems. School staff threatened to send him to the hospital if he didn't calm down over the eggs.
The school called Anderson's mom to tell her he wasn't having a good day, which is when she said she'd come pick him up. Only she didn't get there fast enough.
Upon hearing the threat to be sent to the hospital from his teachers, Anderson got scared, jumped on the tables and said, "I just want my mommy."
In a statement, the New York Police Department said he was "acting in a threatening manner," and a source also told the New York Daily News he was waving scissors.
"He was a danger to himself and others in the classroom," an NYPD spokesman said. "He started spitting and cursing at the officers. The handcuffs were used to restrain the child because of his behavior. He was a danger to himself."
His mom said that since the incident, Anderson has been wetting himself in the middle of the day and throwing up.
"If he hears an ambulance, he runs under the bed and screams, 'They're going to get me,'" she told the newspaper. "He's really traumatized. I don't let him watch the news anymore, because if he sees cops, he cries."
The Easter egg incident marked the third time the school sent Joseph to the hospital for a psychiatric evaluation. He was also suspended from school for two weeks over this most recent incident.
Last year a 12-year-old, also in Queens, was handcuffed for doodling on her desk, and a few years ago, a 5-year-old was handcuffed for misbehaving in his kindergarten class.
I wasn't in the classroom so it's hard for me to speculate on the incident, but I think it's really sad that the various authority figures who were there couldn't have diffused the situation sufficiently until the boy's mom showed up at school. Clearly he has problems, but being treated like that in school shouldn't have to be one of them.
Do you think teachers and law enforcement officials have become too aggressive, or have kids become increasingly unmanageable?

I'm setting up this new thread for this ride. It's been discussed in several threads, most notably in one titled "3rd Annual ... Ride."
I'm inviting any 50+er or BFer (and any friends/family) to come to Ann Arbor Michigan and participate in the 1-day organized ride, "One Helluva Ride." It will be held rain or shine on Saturday, July 9 2011. On-line registration has begun, at www.aabts.org/ohr. You can see all the riding and pricing options there on-line. Several of us have already signed up for the 64 mile option (good opportunity to do that birthday-distance ride!), and I'm hoping we'll to some degree ride together.
The route and all of the (really rather extensive) supporting functions are set by the Ann Arbor Bicycle Touring Society. Participation is unlimited - registration is not cut off up to and including day-of-event. Significant and generally adequate food and water stops are provided by AABTS as part of the event fee. The route is always well-marked with little pitchforks spray painted on the ground, and the variety of route distances are indicated by pitchfork color. Local LEOs monitor the route and assist with controlling significant traffic crossings.
The AABTS prides itself on choosing the best-condition roads for these rides, within of course the constraints of designing closed loops. Because of this, they don't release current event maps until the day of event. All registered riders will be given the correct map - if they forget, ask. I can sketch up last year's maps on MapMyRide if anyone is interested. There is usually a lot of repetition, but not total repetition from year to year. The routine of the event has been developed for 35 years, so most possible problems have been discovered already.
I've been asked for hotel and restaurant recommendations, and I can provide some favorite restaurants, but I don't really know the hotels. Commonly Ann Arbor people recommend the LampPost Inn for a locally-owned low-cost motel that is reasonably clean and capable, but has no food or other amenities. You do get a decent room. Much higher on the service scale is Weber's Inn. I suggest we focus on rooms in Ann Arbor or within 10 miles, making our other activities as a group more convenient.
Camping may seem a good option, and of course it's always fun. But the suggested campgrounds are Waterloo Recreation Area and Hell Creek Ranch. Both are 30 to 40 miles from Ann Arbor, and in different directions. Recreating in a group might not be possible. OTOH, if me and Mrs. Road Fan are the only ones 50 miles from the BF 50+ers, I'll suck it up. Either way, biking to the event start is probably not a good proposition, from Waterloo, Hell, or Ann Arbor. There are some lodgings in Chelsea itself.
There's been a tradition (?) in the annual 50+ rides to dine together when possible and to do some shorter rides as a group. I can block off Thursday and Friday before the event as vacation days and hence be available. I'll come up with some specific options after I get an idea where people want to sleep. As I said before, right now it's potentially a 50 mile span.
There is still a problem in hotels nationally, that of bedbugs. I don't think it's ever been a huge problem in Washtenaw County, but anyone who's considering staying in a hotel or motel here or anywhere should check it out on www.bedbugregistry.com.
Copying and pasting from the last thread on this (post #147, with additions from more recent activity), currently interested parties include:
Road Fan and Mrs. Road Fan
Beverly (with friends from Dayton?)
Louis (with friends?)
PAlt, it would be good to meet, but it looks like it won't happen this year.
My back yard is small, but I think two parties could set up tents in it. My driveway could in addition take a moderate RV. Got a nice charcoal Weber kettle, too.

Whether you have a petite townhouse terrace or a teensy-tiny 18th floor balcony, you, too, can enjoy greening up your exterior space this summer.
Even in a small space, careful planning will allow you to fit in all the essentials (with élan!):
- Seating
- Container garden
- Water feature (optional)
- Lighting
Here's how to do it.
There are two main types of outdoor seating: dining and lounging.
If you plan to eat al fresco a lot during the warm weather, opt for a dining set. A two-seat bistro table works for extremely small spaces, but a four-seat dining table is more versatile. (Stacking chairs takes up less space when not in use.) If you entertain frequently, a six- or eight-seat would be nice, but in most cases will be too large for the average balcony.
If your idea of quality deck time is relaxing with a book – or cocktails and conversation – opt for a lounge or "conversation set." This consists of lower-height, comfy, deep-seat chairs or loveseats, plus an indoor-inspired coffee table and/or side tables.
Whatever you opt for, look for long-lasting, weather-resistant construction materials (ie. resin wicker, plantation teak, aluminum or powder-coated steel), and all-season, washable fabric covers on cushions and seat pads.
Safety tip: If you're allowed to operate an outdoor grill on your deck (many, if not most, condos restrict them to an outdoor common area), place it at least six feet away from seating.
Container garden
Container gardening is as practical as it is trendy. Container gardening consists of planting greenery and flowers in window or balcony boxes, planters, urns and troughs. Although some plants do better than others, depending on the size of your containers and the lighting conditions on your balcony, you can plant anything from succulents, greenery and flowers, to herbs and vegetables and even shrubs and small trees if you've got the space and inclination.
Depending on where you live and the exposure of your balcony, suggested plant life will vary, but if you choose plants native to your region, and those labeled as attracting butterflies (for example, bee balm, Echinacea, pin cushion flower or scabiosa, butterfly bush, to name a few), you'll be able to help nature by providing a source of nectar for the much-beleaguered bee and butterfly population.
Native plants also tend to be more drought-tolerant, an added bonus for container gardening.
When creating a container garden, remember that potted plants dry out much, much faster than conventional garden beds are therefore need to be monitored daily in summer.
Also, invest in trays and saucers to go under pots to catch runoff – so your neighbour downstairs doesn't get mad at you!

Practice Meditation and Mindful Eating to Control Cravings and Lose Weight
The results of an experiment conducted by a team of researchers at UC San Francisco suggest mindful eating and meditation are factors in helping people control their junk food cravings and lose weight. "By recognizing what you are feeling before you act [eat] you have a greater chance of making a wiser decision," claims researcher Jennifer Daubenmier.
Dr. Catherine Kerr, a meditation expert at Brown University responded to the findings of this study by saying it was consistent with several other brain studies that suggest mindfulness brings about changes to the part of the brain responsible for food cravings. She further explained that mindful eating and meditation actually rewire the brain to tune into the body in a healthier way.
If you are skeptical because you find it hard to believe that just sitting quietly in meditation is going to melt the pounds from your hips, why don't you give it a try?
Meditation Practice
Before a meal, take at least 10 minutes to sit in a comfortable position, free from distractions like the computer or telephone. Close your eyes and pay attention to sensations throughout your body. Perhaps you are very hungry, and you feel your stomach growling as it pines for nourishment. Be present with the sensations that you are feeling and resist the temptation to give in to any one of them. If you find yourself craving a heaping bowl of mashed potatoes and gravy, instead of going for it, get familiar with how it feels to crave them, without trying to change those feelings. Accepting how you feel without resistance is very important. This will help you avoid succumbing to your cravings so you can realize your weight loss goals.
