NEWPORT NEWS, Va. (NNS) -- USS Carl Vinson (CVN 70) recently welcomed back a Sailor who served as an individual augmentee in Iraq.
Operation Specialist 3rd Class Kyle Webb left USS Carl Vinson (CVN 70) last year to train for his duty in theater. Webb learned how to identify explosives and improvised explosive devices. He also trained to conduct counter-rocket, artillery, and mortar (CRAM) measures, combat, and medical aid.
When Webb arrived in Iraq, he performed convoy operations that involved escorting VIPs who couldn't be transported by aircraft because of night or enemy CRAM threats. Webb also worked with interior communications electricians and minemen, two rates he normally doesn't get to interact with, as well as the United States Army and Air Force.
Webb learned to live a whole new lifestyle because the Army's way of life is different from the Navy's.
"It's an experience that, in order to properly understand it, you have to experience it [for yourself]," said Webb.
According to Webb, the most important knowledge he walked away with was the medical training he received because it can be necessary when in a combat situation.
"It's not just you [that] you're looking out for," said Webb. "You're looking out for everyone around you and you know they're looking out for you."

NEW YORK CITY - September 14, 2006 - The Health Department announced today that there have been ten confirmed cases of West Nile virus (WNV) so far this year among New Yorkers, including one death, a 64-year old Staten Island man. The Department also warned that West Nile virus continues to pose a risk to New Yorkers this mosquito season. The Staten Island man became ill and died while on a trip to Tennessee, where WNV has been detected this year. Because he spent time in New York City and elsewhere during the two weeks before symptoms appeared, it is not possible to determine whether he was infected in the City or somewhere else. WNV has been detected in all five boroughs during recent weeks, with the greatest activity concentrated in Staten Island.
"With the arrival of the peak of West Nile virus season, we urge people over 50 - and especially those over 65 - to take extra protections because they are more susceptible to serious illness if infected by WNV," said Health Commissioner Dr. Thomas R. Frieden. "There are easy ways to protect yourself from West Nile virus. If you're going to be spending time outdoors, use an effective mosquito repellent and wear long sleeves, pants, and socks. Also, check that window and door screens in your home are secure and intact."
This table is updated online at www.nyc.gov/html/doh/html/wnv/wnvcases.shtml.
This table is updated online at www.nyc.gov/html/doh/html/wnv/wnvr1-2006.shtml.
To help stop the spread of WNV, DOHMH reminds New Yorkers to get rid of standing water on their property, and to report dead birds or standing water by calling 3-1-1 or logging on to www.nyc.gov/health/wnv.
To report dead birds or standing water, or for more information about West Nile virus, call 311 or visit www.nyc.gov/health/wnv.

Choctaw man shot to death as he got out of shower, court record says
CHOCTAW — A woman arrested after a Choctaw man was gunned down in his trailer home Monday told police she shot him as he got out of the shower because he didn't want her to leave the home, according to a court document.
Angela Ann Durent, 22, was arrested by Oklahoma County sheriff's deputies after a witness said Durent confessed to him that she killed James Michael Vaughn, 46. She is being held at the Oklahoma County jail on complaints of murder and larceny of an automobile.
According to a probable cause affidavit filed by deputies in Oklahoma County District Court, Durent told investigators she had been staying at Vaughn's trailer for a week. They began fighting April 20 because Vaughn wouldn't let her leave the home, she said.
Durent told deputies she waited until Vaughn was taking a shower and took his silver .38-caliber revolver from the closet. When he came out of the bathroom into the hall, she shot him three times in the upper body.
She said Vaughn then ran out of the house and collapsed near his car.
Durent took the car and drove to a friend's house about 5 a.m.
The friend, who later called police, said Durent drove him around for a while looking for a house where she said she was staying. She couldn't find the house, and the friend asked to be dropped off after she told him she had killed Vaughn.
Deputies recovered Vaughn's car from Durent's home in Midwest City. They found the revolver after she told them she left it at an address in McLoud.

Just as Google Authorship start's getting a good adoption rate, Google Communities opened up on Dec. 7th. and has garnered the attention from those who like to be at the "cutting edge." Those who aren't "early adopters" wait on the side-lines for the dust to settle and blog posts to be written on the best of things, best practices, best sources, best of everything. The good news? Not only can you get started with only a few clicks of a mouse, there are a number of best practices to steal from existing communities like LinkedIn Groups. In case you are wondering why Google Communities are "such a big deal" take a look at Google Strikes Back,
lets review the latest G+ stats: Over 500 million users, 135 million of which are active users. They engage. They post. They share. Compare that to Twitter's 140 million (Twitter.com) users and you start to get a better glimpse of the big picture. That translates to massive exposure for your brand, your thoughts or even your kitty pictures.
Google Communities and LinkedIn Group Best Practices
LinkedIn Groups have been around long enough to glean solid practices that work. Although there may be some functionality differences such as Google Hangouts, the core elements of an online community remain. Here are some key take-aways from LinkedIn Groups to use with Google Communities.
Google Communities Should Have a Narrow Niche
There is a post from Social Media Examiner called How to Build a Thriving LinkedIn Group that discusses some "ground rules." One of the first and most important is to choose a narrow niche and speciality category,
"This is probably the most important key to success for building a group on LinkedIn. You need to have a narrowly defined group in order to attract the right members!"
Having a narrowly defined group means you can attract the right members. Interestingly enough according to Mark Traphagen this is one of the primary problems facing Google Communities just getting started,
I'm starting to see a growing number of people in discussions about Google+ Communities saying that they are leaving communities because they are "out of control" or "full of spam" or "generating too many posts."
My observation has been that the most common denominator in these situations of dissatisfaction is community topics that are way too broad.
Before you start a Google Community make sure you have a narrow focus. For example, instead of having a WordPress community consider having a WordPress Developers in Austin community. The first is too broad and the second specific enough to let people know what to expect. It is also a lot less likely users get overwhelmed by the quantity of posts from a larger group. Of course you don't want to be so specific you don't get any interest. Investigate what is out there already not just your own niche but all other niches to see what people have come up with.
Open or Closed Google Community?
Another important consideration is how open you want your group to be. You need to be sure about your choice because Google Communities clearly states it is a permanent choice. Before considering there are several levels you should know about. There is of course the official Google page describing each level but I found these color-coded examples to be exceptionally helpful.
Now that you know the levels you should strongly consider having to moderate who joins. Social Media Examiner has the following that is echoed by other people:
"When you set up your group to pre-approve members, it does take some maintenance to go through and approve or decline new member applications, but it's well worth it and your members will appreciate it. If you let anyone and everyone in, you'll undoubtedly end up with significant spam in your group, and you will lose engagement and members very quickly!"
Moderation is key from the start of any online community from who gets to join to what they post. There are many people who use online groups to advertise their own website or what they sell. Everyone benefits when the group is limited to people who provide relevant or real engagement not marketing.
Ongoing Considerations for Google Communities
There are cool features with Google Communities you don't get elsewhere such as Google Hangouts. Once you do get a Google Community going there are some initial and ongoing considerations. Here is a list of some from SocialNotz for maintaining a healthy community:
- Write an initial post or two so that your new guest don't arrive in an empty room.
- Welcome each person as they join and encourage them to introduce themselves.
- As people begin to join your community you may want to promote a few of them to moderator to help facilitate discussions and assist with community interactions.
- Manage members by clicking on "view all" in the header of the members section on the right of the discussion thread. Beside each members name on the right is a drop down menu with choices to promote to moderator or remove/ban from group.
- Promote your community as a place where people can gather and connect around common interests.
- Participate in as well as initiate conversations by posting, commenting and +1ing.
- Be sure to encourage and engage with all your members.
- Check in regularly, don't leave your community unattended.
- Ask questions and listen to your community; keep topics relevant and focused on your community's interests.
- If your email inbox starts running over with all the notices from the communities you can turn them off by clicking on the little bell icon under the community photo.
Google Communities are fun to explore with a ton of time possibly "wasted" in the effort. There is a lot of potential and some are speaking of this being a "game changer" for Google Plus. It will certainly help offset the common notion that Google+ isn't going anywhere. Unless there is a significant push from certain legal directions, Google will continue to favor Google Plus in search. Do you really want to miss out on that?

I send OQRS requests to the buro twice a year. My last posting was 1st May 2016. If you QSL direct please $2 NO IRCs.
DXCC #1 Honor Roll 339/339 (350).
Compact 160-40 "array" in 50ft x 200ft.
I enjoy CW (although I am not very good at it), but can resort to SSB if required. I am 49 years old, licensed since 16.
I used simple low (no) cost wire dipoles & a vertical antenna 40-10m to reach DXCC #1 Honor Roll while in my 30's, from a 10m x10m yard.
In 2007 I decided to try 160 & 80 for the 1st time. For this I transmit from farm land close to my home.
I have limited free time to operate due to a busy work schedule but try and get on for a few minutes each week, along with prioritising new "band slots" for the ARRL DXCC Challenge. This is mainly DXpedition's only now. I am at 3104 points.
Just 18 yrs until retirement now when I hope to be a little more active.
If we have QSO'd, it was my pleasure. I upload to LOTW.
I have included a log search and some pictures below. You can request your buro QSL card here if you wish.
Member of RSGB ( 35 yrs), ARRL, GMDX, ARRL A1- Operator Club, UKSMG.
10 Band DXCC • 10 Band WAZ (35 on 6m no EME)
DXCC Challenge 3104(current not inc deleted)
IOTA = 600+ ...but no QSLs cards. Awaiting LOTW type system, far too expensive to start collecting cards again.
6m 7 ele - with SteppIR dipole 10-20m (summer setup)
2 ele SteppIR (Winter setup)
30m 1/4 vertical - 64 1/2 wave radials
40m – Quad loop @ 60ft,fed in vertical section with 1/4 wave 75ohm stub

80m – 66ft wire Vertical up fibreglass pole - 64 ¼ wavelength radials
Some awards.....
DXCC #1 Honor Roll 340/340 (349)
Honoured to be the recipient of the prestigious RSGB Royal Order of Transatlantic Brass Pounders trophy for 2010. It is awarded for "outstanding and consistent DX work. "
The trophy was first awarded in 1924 and original Members of the Order were from those who operated transatlantic tests in 1921 to 1924.
Harold Rose Trophy 1995
To the person making an outstanding contribution to 50MHz
160m setup
Winter views of Beverages
A nicer summer view showing SE Bev (650ft)crossing E/W Bev (1000ft)
in the distance.
How best to run a section of Beverage wire under a path?
(1) buy some tennis balls & 2.5" drain pipe
(2) suspend Beverage wire through centre of balls
(3) fit through pipe
Thanks to KV4FZ for the idea and W3LPL for the technical explaination below as why you would do this. "A buried wire is a transmission line. When a transmission line is very short compared to a quarter wavelength, its usually considered to have practically no transmission line properties of its own except for a small amount of resistance.
Three primary factors are at play when using a very short transmission line (a buried insulated wire or coaxial cable) to connect two sections of a Beverage antenna:
Dielectric loss - a directly buried insulated wire will have more dielectric loss than a coaxial cable or a wire enclosed in a plastic conduit. A very short directly buried insulated wire might have insignificant dielectric loss (it wouldn't be difficult to measure this).
Mismatch loss - a very short transmission line (a buried wire in a conduit or a coaxial cable) has negligible mismatch loss. When a transmission line is very short (compared to a quarter wavelength), its characteristic impedance has little consequence to the circuit in which it is operating.
Velocity factor - minimizing the length of a coaxial cable, using high velocity factor coaxial cable (such as cable TV hardline), or using a very short buriedwire in a conduit will minimize the phase delay between the two interconnected segments of a Beverage antenna.
Using tennis balls to center the wire in the plastic conduit as recommended by KV4FZ will further reduce the phase delay of a buried wire."
Here are some pictures.
I use both wires of WD1A, so the cows have to eat through lots of strands before I lose a Beverage. I often find them hanging on by one or two strands! The picture below shows the tennis ball support for the wire. There is a ball every 3 feet. There are two pipes as there are two Beverages (completely separate installs). The yellow pipe in for the Coax.
Below shows before and after...........
and the final results of 2 X 700ft Bev with 16ft under ground. The over the top route was ruled out due to high horse box access requirements.
These are not reversible Beverages. I find no issues running 2 within 1ft of each other using completely separate feeds, earth rods (inc separate radials x 4) and matching boxes.
After 5 years experimenting with Reversible Beverages using WD1A along with both commercial and homemade reflection transformers I have come to the conclusion there is no "free lunch".
I have now replaced all "2-way" with dedicated one ways. Each Bev. has its own earth system and feed, the ends are staggered by around 30ft, the 2 wires however are close together, with just a foot separation in some places and up to 3 feet in others. F/B over 25dB+ (lucky to get 10dB on reversible) and both directions perform equally well. The big drawback of course is the work to lay coax. For that we used a number of surplus 600m drums of flooded compound low loss coax, which works out around 1dB loss per 100m on 160m.
There is now 1500m of coax running 8 RX antenna, covering 360 deg.
These Rolls of cable below were a good find, smaller drum 300m, larger drum 600m. Purchased 6 in total.
Flooded Commscope, small drum 1dB loss per 100m at 160m, larger drum 0.8dB
Some Beverage pictures below.
I have had up to 6 Bev's installed (the 2 shown above are 1000ft) covering N, S, E, W, NW & SE. But have now removed the NW/SE as a nest of 4 EWE's seem to work just as well and much easier to maintain in the winter.
The shack is kept tidy by all Beverages/EWEs & Pre-amp terminating at a remote 8 way switching network in the garage (picture below) this is controlled by a PC USB switch. Beverage switching is a "mouse click" on the screen.
LF Receiver antenna's as well as the Bev's include
Mass production of 9:1 Beverage feed transformers for 6 Bev system.
It took 2-3 winters to install the radial mat, dont try this in summer when the ground is bone dry. Notice the spike on the end of the digger arm which digs the radial trenches.
QSL Policy
My preferred QSL route is via Log Book Of The World (LOTW) and all QSOs are uploaded there every week or two. I am happy to QSL direct. $2(no IRCs). You can also request a buro card via my online log and OQRS. Buro cards are fine too!
I have operated in recent years as JY8JH, C56/G0JHC, 3A/G0JHC, VU2DPG, XE1/G0JHC and usually air my US call W2JHC once a year.

A man who admits to both a meth lab and breaking into a courthouse here in the east was sentenced Wednesday.
Brent Mannis, 28-years-old, went before a judge in Lenoir County Wednesday to face charges both there and in Wayne County.
Mannis admitted that he broke into the Wayne County Courthouse in September of 2010. He claimed he was trying to find the police department to turn himself in for drugs, but investigators say while in the courthouse, Mannis broke into the district attorney's office and was piling up electronic equipment all over the courthouse, but had no means to get it all out.
An assistant D.A. from Onslow County prosecuted the case.
Mannis pleaded guilty to both the Wayne County break-in and having a meth lab in Lenoir County.
Mannis already served nearly a year in prison. He'll serve nearly five years for the meth lab.

Arsonist in firefighter fatality is released from prison
CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- An Alum Creek man who pleaded guilty last year in the death of a volunteer firefighter had the rest of his sentence suspended Monday so he can attend a drug rehabilitation program.
Charles Darren Roberts set a box on fire near a bridge in Davis Creek in December 2011. The blaze caught more than 100 railroad ties on fire, and Davis Creek volunteer firefighter Joey King fell to his death from the bridge while trying to fight the fire.
A grand jury indicted Roberts on charges of first-degree murder in connection to King's death in April 2012. In return for his guilty plea, prosecutors agreed to reduce the murder charge to involuntary manslaughter. Roberts also pleaded guilty to two charges of arson.
Kanawha Circuit Judge Tod Kaufman sentenced Roberts in August 2012 to up to six years in prison, the maximum allowed on those charges.
On Monday, Kaufman suspended the rest of Roberts' sentence, putting him on one year of probation and allowing him to attend a drug rehabilitation program through the Union Mission.
The involuntary manslaughter charge carried a one-year sentence. Roberts' attorney, John Carr, told the judge that Roberts, who had been in jail since December 2011, had completed his sentence for that charge and one of the arson charges. He would have been eligible for parole in September.
"Mr. Roberts very remorsefully and sincerely has served that sentence," Carr said.
Kanawha County assistant prosecutor Dan Holstein pointed to Roberts' lengthy criminal history and told Kaufman the sentence was fair. Carr said most of the other crimes his client committed revolved around his drug addiction.
Kaufman agreed Roberts should undergo drug treatment.
"After careful review of this case, I feel there needs to be a monitored component of drug and alcohol rehab, outside of the prison system, to make sure, as best we can, that this type of tragedy or something similar doesn't happen again," he said.
King's sister, Arietta King, of Rand, said after the hearing she was disappointed with the judge's decision.
"He should do his time," she said of Roberts. "He done the crime, he should do the time."
Arietta King was happily surprised, she said, that the state Division of Highways agreed to name a bridge on W.Va. 214 in Davis Creek after her brother.
A sign for the Joseph Albert "Joey" King Jr. Memorial Bridge was installed last week, she said.
"He used to travel across it every day," she said.
Kay Carson, King's common-law wife of 20 years, still drives the bridge daily and said the memorial is bittersweet.
"It's a constant reminder of him," she said.

Grape Stomp: A Napa Harvest Experience
Anyone who knows I Love Lucy remembers the episode where Lucy wanders off to a vineyard and is ordered by forceful Italian women to crush grapes with her feet in a wine vat. Well, the clever, fun-loving family behind Schweiger Vineyards has recreated the side-splitting scene with this year's harvest experience. Sure, Crushpad may offer their version of a city crush camp, but we say go where the grapes grow for a truly authentic escapade. Make the trek up to the mountaintop vineyard and winery in St. Helena for a day of sampling, sugar testing, handpicking, de-stemming and good, old-fashioned stomping.
Crushpad Goes to France
Crushpad, San Francisco's brilliant innercity home/professional winemaking facility in SOMA has big news. If you've grown tired or are not interested in making wine from some of California's top appellations, why not try one of France's?
Sidewalk Chic: Dapper Duo in Potrero Hill
Name: Elie Ernest
Age: 42
Occupation: Co-Founder and Program Director of SF Wine Week
Spotted: Around the World in 80 Sips event, Crushpad, 8:07 p.m.
Wearing: Michael Kors blazer, Zegna shirt, Lucky Brand denim pant, Kangol hat

Should I be concerned with Consumer Reports' review of the SRX 2013?
The SRX is topping the list for my next car, but Consumer Reports' review has me nervous. They only gave it a 62 out of 100 overall, and rated it less than average for reliability. According to their surveys, the Owner Satisfaction rate on this car is low, with only 59% saying they'd buy it again if they had it to do over. (Not to be confused with buying it for the second time - a subtle but important difference.)
So I was hoping to hear from the owners here... is CR on the nose? Would you buy this again if you had it to do over? Any regrets? This is a large purchase for any of us, and I just want to make sure I'm making a smart decision.
CR also rated visibility and responsiveness low, so if you have feedback on those, would love to hear that as well!
Thank you!!!

I have a 2011 AWD with 17,000 miles on it. It is great, and I only have the 270 hp motor. I traded a Jeep Grand Cherokee limited for it and the SRX is much better. All I have done so far is have the oil changed and tires rotated (for free). At 5000 miles the dealer did do a programming update that made the shifting much smoother.

Re: Should I be concerned with Consumer Reports' review of the SRX 2013?
I have a 2010 and am very pleased. No problems. Just oil changes and tire rotations.
I tend to take Consumer Reports opinions with a grain of salt. My feeling is that that the folks that run the operation and the majority of the subscribers have a bias against American made cars.

Re: Should I be concerned with Consumer Reports' review of the SRX 2013?
I did buy it again. We had a 10 Premium that was bsically trouble free. Now a 13 Premium that has been trouble free so far, but we only hav about 4,000 miles on it. The 13 has had a lot of kinks worked out compared to the 10. Bigger more powerful engine, better ride, more comfortable seats, CUE etc. Right now I would buy a third one. Of course by the time we get ready to trade again, who knw what will be out there.
Re: Should I be concerned with Consumer Reports' review of the SRX 2013?
I am on my third GEN II SRX and with all the new improvements in safety and comfort it just keeps getting better and better!
Oh...YES! I will be definitely be buying another SRX.

Re: Should I be concerned with Consumer Reports' review of the SRX 2013?
kaedwards, I have also done a lot of research and have learned a lot about vehicles in this class (full disclosure: I have a 2013 SRX Premium on order). I discount Consumer Reports' opinion a lot because they historically have what I consider an irrational love of Japanese-made vehicles over similar American vehicles. My guess is that in this class the Lexus RX350 had the best overall ratings. Other vehicles I've looked at were the Jeep Grand Cherokee and the Audi Q5. On style and comfort alone, I would have chosen the Jeep, but it was just too big for my needs. I didn't like the interior of the Audi. I also considered the Range Rover Evoque, and didn't like that interior either, and have concerns with quality as time goes on.
Do you know how many people were sampled in the CR survey? What was the biggest reason for their dissatisfaction? Do you have a web link to the CR article so others can read it? A lot of times people are angry at themselves for investing a lot of money in something they really didn't want and made an emotional decision because of a sales pitch. They just complain about the vehicle because they won't actually blame themselves.
Read the forums here...there are complaints about CUE and other aspects of the 2013 SRX, and among those complaints I remember only 1 or 2 who have said they won't buy another SRX or Cadillac. There are many compliments and good reviews. Read about previous model years that have underpowered engines or don't have the safety features or technology that the 2013 does. Ask those who did or didn't plan to buy a 2013 after having an earlier model...why did they make their decision? Did others pick a 2013 SRX because they were dissatisfied with something else?
Any car, be it a Ford, Hyundai, Cadillac, or Bugatti...it is going to have flaws. Pick the vehicle you like based on the things you like best, and deal with what you like least. I'm a technology professional and really love the CUE, and even though I haven't used it in everyday, it has impressed me tremendously. It's first generation technology and will have its share of flaws. Some say that Cadillac may have hurried it too quickly to market, but the issues are mostly usability issues with music players and navigation (yes, others too). There are fortunately no safety issues. One thing is that Cadillac is making a laudable effort to fix issues only 6 months into the first model year, plus giving them $50 and a tank of gas for their inconvenience. They didn't have to do that.
Lastly, good luck with whatever you decide to get, and I hope you're happy with it.
Re: Should I be concerned with Consumer Reports' review of the SRX 2013?
My experience with the 2010 SRX is such that I won't be buying another Cadillac. Based on previous cars I have owned I can see why CR rates this vehicle as "less than average reliability". Mine will be out of warranty in Jan 2014 and I plan on being out of it by that time as well.
See the following link for all the things that have been fixed on mine under warranty:

Re: Should I be concerned with Consumer Reports' review of the SRX 2013?
I didnt even consider anything other than the SRX when I bought my '12. Will get another (or whatever is in the same class in 2015) when I get my next one in 2015. But, not trying to boot lick some on this board, I will never buy anything other than GM (dont tell my salesman tho)...
I dont believe much of what CR says about US cars. Pretty sure their review is based on the 2010s since while I realize there were issues with that year, by the time we get to 2012 (and the LFX motor) most issues are resolved.
Edmunds did a review of the 2013. http://www.edmunds.com/cadillac/srx/2013/
I'll give CR the benefit of the doubt and say they probably dont have time to update car reviews, considering they need to fit in reviews of refrigerators and vacuums too...
Re: Should I be concerned with Consumer Reports' review of the SRX 2013?
Our 2012 SRX4 Premium has been the best new car we've ever owned. I'd buy another one without any fear about quality or proper operation. Consumer Reports has long been known for poor and inaccurate opinions on a number of products. I'll do my own research for my major purchases without a need for Consumer Reports.

Re: Should I be concerned with Consumer Reports' review of the SRX 2013?
To be honest, the main reason we bought our 2012 was the deal we got on it, plus the $4,000 round up in GM Card earnings. We didn't even shop other vehicles. My wife liked it so we bought it. I didn't want 3 vehicles all out of warranty plus our 07 RX 350 was due for some expenses that I'd rather put into a brand new vehicle.

Re: Should I be concerned with Consumer Reports' review of the SRX 2013?
CR reviews are often nonsensical imo. I DO feel that buying a 2013 wouldn't be the best choice as it's the first MY with some significant changes/improvements. A 2012 might be a better choice, or wait for next year to see some bugs worked out. There are several early adopters here who all seem to be very pleased with their 2013 SRX's. I will say that my 2012 has been very good after 7 months and 5,000 miles. I regret not getting HID headlamps, but am very put off by them not being available as a standalone option-or at least included in something lower than the top 2 tiers. Why should larger wheels be required to get HID headlamps? In this case, GM seems to be alone in restricting their availability. Drive the 2013 and see how you like it. You get 4 years of scheduled maintenance and a nice App for your smartphone too. I don't know much about CUE, but you should thoroughly familiarize yourself with it.

Re: Should I be concerned with Consumer Reports' review of the SRX 2013?
Consumer Reports reviews have never been reliable. For example, they currently rate the Chrysler 300 as average mechanically and recommend the vehicle. They rate the Dodge Charger as much worse than average and won't recommend it. Other than some sheet metal, and the amount of standard equipment, they are the same vehicle built on the same assembly line. There have been numerous examples of this type of flaw over the years. This tells me that their sample size is not large enough to be statistically valid. I'd never consider them as a source for my car buying decisions.

Re: Should I be concerned with Consumer Reports' review of the SRX 2013?
If you look at the reliability record for the 2012 SRX on CR, it's just about all 1/2 solid or fully solid red circles (so very reliable). We bought our 2012 Performance and it's been a great SUV. I would very highly recommend one. I saw the CUE at the dealership in an XTS. I bought the 2012 because CUE wasn't that important to me and since it was the 1st year out, I assumed there would be some bugs to work out. With scheduled maintenance to 50,000 miles and a decent warranty, I'd buy another in a second.
I am very satisfied with my 2012 Performance SRX. No issues so far after purchasing it in September. I do not usually purchase first model year vehicles but the 2013 SRX really is not a new model but one with some nice new refinements. CUE sounds like most new users are not having too many issues......unlike the Ford version that was launched so that is good news. As for the blind spot monitors and lane drifting warnings I wish they were available on the 2012. It appears Cadillac is getting it right and I would purchase a 2013 SRX if I was in the market for a new replacement vehicle.

At the beginning of the New Year, many show hosts on WWOZ take a look back at some of their favorite CDs from the previous year. Here's quite a number of lists contributed by our hosts. Many of the CDs are linked to Amazon, so you can purchase them and support WWOZ.
Olivia Greene - A.J. Rodrigue - Sondra Bibb - Judy Wood
T.R. Johnson, host of the Tuesday "Jazz From the Market" Show, submitted three separate lists.
Top Ten New Orleans CDs by Tuesday "New Orleans Music Show" host, Tom Morgan
Tom says about his picks: "Matt Perrine's was an easy pick, Matt is a genius with the sousaphone. His previous side man work with the New Orleans Nightcrawlers and the Tin Men showed that any project that Matt was in charge of was was going to be a killer. Tricia's CD is wonderful, one of New Orleans' superb vocalists paying tribute to another. What could be sweeter?"
Top Twelve CDs by Tuesday Night "Kitchen Sink" and Early Thursday "Jazz Lunatique Show" Host, David Kunian.
Top Ten New Orleans CDs by Wednesday "New Orleans Music Show" Host, George Ingmire.
Olivia Greene's Top Ten List of CDs released in 2007 (in alphabetical order).
Olivia says about her picks: "They are all by New Orleans artists, or artists who have strong local ties. This is not exactly by design, they happen to be my favorites in or outside the city and, in my opinion, are the most memorable in the long term."
"An honorable mention should be made of Al "Carnival Time" Johnson's Lower Ninth Ward Blues. Although this is actually a CD single, I believe it merits inclusion as an elegantly simple, and equally evocative and memorable 'flip side' to his other legendary song — 'Carnival Time.' Plus, it includes bonus DVD footage."
Top Fifteen Releases of 2007 by Wednesday night "Kitchen Sink" host, A.J. Rodrigue.
Top Eight CDs by Thursday "Jazz From the Market" show host, Sondra Bibb.
Top 2007 contemporary jazz CDs and New Orleans CDs listed in alphabetical order by Wednesday "Jazz From the Market" show host, Judy Wood.

Every Kenyan carries one dear dream in his or her heart: owning a home!
This is one of those goals that we carry in our hearts and strive towards for so long. Yet with all the financial challenges and many things demanding our attention and money, many of us are unable to fulfill this dream.
Those who manage to own a home work very hard and have to be very organized to achieve this seemingly humongous goal.
Get Great Shopping Bargains
Msemakweli Subscribers Get Instant Access to Great Stories in the Inbox. Other than that You Get Great Shopping Deals Every Week!
Housing in Kenya is actually a big problem. Property prices are way up there while the average Kenyan earns too little to afford a good house. We keep talking about the property market stabilizing and prices coming down, yet with each passing year, prices are going up or at least staying up.
If you drive through the upper middle class estates of Lavington, Ngong road, Kileleshwa and so on, you will notice numerous housing constructions going on. Many more estates and apartments are finished and the 'TO LET' or 'HOMES FOR SALE' boards are numerous.
Who is The Target Market?
I keep wondering who the target market is every time I come across these boards. How can a simple Kenyan earning a salary of 40,000 Kenya shillings or less buy a house?
Moving over to the other side of town i.e Eastlands, numerous cases of flats collapsing have been reported. The CBD has also faced these cases that have led to injuries and fatalities.
The blame game continues on who is to blame for these failed constructions. When a building collapses, its amazing how hard it is for the authorities to trace the owner of the building on the contractor in charge of that building.
Accessing a mortgage is yet another nightmare the common Kenyan is facing. Very few financial institutions are willing to fund you 100% therefore you need to raise about 10-20% of the cost of the home. Before you even get there, will you qualify for a mortgage and will you afford the monthly repayments?
I can bet you, the common Mwananchi will actually not qualify for a mortgage or afford the monthly repayments. Think about it:
For a mortgage of 3 million shillings, you need to first raise the 10% deposit which comes to 300,000 shillings. If your mortgage was for 30 years at an interest rate of 15%, your monthly repayments are Ksh. 34,140.00.
How many people can afford to pay this every single month for the next 30 years? Not many. Over a thirty year period, you will end up paying well over 12 million shillings.
These figures simply scare most Kenyans into retaining their status quo of renting a house.
The option of buying land and constructing your own house has its challenges too. You still may need to get a construction loan and face the same challenges of down payment as well as monthly loan repayments.
We need a new and creative approach on the issue of owning a home in Kenya. Many countries have faced the same problems and have come up with ways to make construction and home ownership cheaper and more affordable.
The questions that all Kenyans have in their minds is how can I own a home? It's a high time that all the stake holders in this industry come together and chart a way forward. Otherwise a home will be a privilege only for the rich.

Longswamp Township Environmental Advisory Council presents a demonstration rain garden workshop onMay 11.
�Our goal is to encourage Longswamp families to install rain gardens and rain barrels on their own properties to help filter pollutants and keep them from washing into local waterways. If each of us does our part to protect nature, we�ll ensure there is enough clean water for our families in the future,� said Kate Harms, chairperson, LongswampEAC.
Workshop attendees will have a hands-on opportunity to learn while doing during the rain garden construction. Guest speakers will share ways residents can enhance their properties and replace lawn areas with native trees and plants to create Birdtown habitats. Rain barrels will be offered to pre-registered attendees at a nominal fee.
The partners plan to create and install interpretive signs that will educate visitors about ways to create clean water solutions through attractive backyard habitats.
A small group of township residents that voluntarily act as an advisory board for local planning, land use, conservation, and other environmental issues within and outside their borders, the Longswamp Township EAC has been awarded a $5,000 grant by the Water Resources Education Network, a project of the League of Women Voters of Pennsylvania Citizen Education Fund for its project titled: �Making a Difference in Your Own Backyard: Rain Gardens for Water Conservation and Wildlife Habitat.�
Longswamp Township is working with the Lehigh Valley Audubon Society to teach residents ways to reduce polluted runoff and remedy flooding problems using landscaping amenities like rain gardens and rain barrels. Rain washes off fields, roofs, yards, and down streets, parking lots, driveways, and sidewalks carrying road salt, motor oil, debris and other contaminants into waterways like the Toad Creek which flows to the Lehigh River and eventually to the Delaware River.
�Everybody can do their part for clean water,� said Harms, project chair. �Water in Longswamp Township is being polluted by runoff from farm fields in rural areas and lawns in suburban areas. Rain gardens and rain barrels are fairly easy to install and low cost. They help deal with water where it actually falls.�
They can also help channel rain away from homes to prevent basement flooding.
Built in a shallow depression and filled with native plants, rain gardens are beautiful solutions that soak up and filter polluted runoff from rooftops, driveways, parking lots and other hard surfaces.
�They are incredibly effective at reducing water pollution, especially when placed in clusters like in a neighborhood,� said Harms. �Like a sponge, rain gardens absorb water to replenish our aquifers and filter it naturally through native plants that also attract birds and butterflies.�
Rain barrels help capture and store rainwater for later use to water plants or to wash the car.
The project has been made possible through a Community Watershed Education Grant awarded by the Water Resource Education Network, a project of the PA League of Women Voters Citizen Education Fund. Grant funding is through the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection�s Nonpoint Source Management Program and Section 319 of the federal Clean Water Act, administered by the Environmental Protection Agency.
How can you help reduce water pollution?
�Every drop of rain you keep on your property helps to keep our local waters clean. You can make a difference by installing rain barrels, rain gardens, planting trees, and educating yourself,� writes the Longswamp EAC.
Other ways include picking up pet waste, properly disposing of household chemicals, such as paints and cleaning supplies, sweeping driveways and sidewalks instead of hosing them, and washing cars at car wash facilities or on lawns rather than in driveways, where it can runoff to local streams.
For more information on Longswamp Township Environmental Advisory Council activities, visit their Facebook page at Longswamp Township EAC. Remember: only rain down the drain.

Happy New Year! One of the things that I love about the turn of the new year is the excitement, hope and possibility that comes with it.
Although we are growing and changing all the time, the transition from one year to the next often is a time for self-reflection, and is a time when we seem to have extra motivation to help us reach our goals.
One of the things about goal-setting is that we often reach for things that we believe are attainable for us, usually because we've seen someone else do it – or something similar. That's not to say that as humans we aren't creative, but usually our creativity gets sparked when we see someone else do something that appeals to us, and then we look for a way to get there.
When we look at the self-help industry – which is everywhere at this time of year – we see 'how to' manuals and programs teaching us how to get where we want to go.
Why? Because everyone needs some help figuring out how to get from point A to point B. As an example, you wouldn't take a long road trip without a map, right?
But first, you have to have the idea of what you want to do, and the belief that in fact YOU can do it.
This is one of the reasons I believe it's so important to surround ourselves with stories of people who've done the kinds of things we want to achieve. I am always looking to those around me to see how they've done what they've done, and then using their wisdom and insights to replicate their success for myself.
As a Latina, we usually look to role models that are other women, or women of color, but it's also important to see people *just like us* who have done what we want to do, or something similar.
It's inspiring to see someone who has a similar background or experiences do something that we ourselves aspire to do.
I encourage you to surround yourself with people who are inspiring and motivating for you, and seek out stories of some women who do the kinds of things YOU want to do.
It's because of this need for role models that it was so powerful when Sonia Sotomayor became the first Latina Supreme Court Justice. Similarly, we look to people like the first Latina astronaut, Dr. Ellen Ochoa, Maria Hinojosa (award-winning journalist), and Alisa Valdes (best-selling author) to see how others have done it. Their huge successes inspire us toward our own.
It's why I started the interview series, and why I believe in the power of role models – both having them, and being them.
Who are your role models? What do you want to achieve this year, and how do you plan to do so? And who are YOU a role model for?

When Sex "Just Happened" (And How to Make It Happen Instead)
I'm a 32 year old woman being driven up the wall by my fiance always telling me he can tell I'm playing with my toys when he's at work because I'm loose that day. I swear to him up and down that I haven't and even tell him the last time that I have done something like that. But he doesn't want to hear it. He always says I'm lying about it all. Why somedays is my vagina tighter than another day? Is there a position during sex that would make my vagina tighter? I already do those "pee exercises." Please HELP!!! I'm sick of being accused of something I'm not even doing.
We both masturbate, but she hates that I do.
Recently my girlfriend and I have become more sexually active. We've agreed not to have intercourse, but to do everything else. Along with our discussions came the issue of masturbation. We both do it, but she never achieves orgasm through it. She hates that I do it, although I've explained it is natural and healthy for guys and does not affect anything we do and does not make her less important. I do not know really how to approach the issue to make her feel better.

IOWA CITY, Iowa, July 20. IVY Martin threw down the third-best 50 free time by an American this year, while her Wisconsin Aquatics team ran away with the combined team title as the Speedo Champions Series sectional meet at the University of Iowa Aquatic Center wrapped up tonight.
Katherine Drabot of Ozaukee Aquatics picked up right where she left off last night – with another top three finish in the opening event. Drabot, who won the 200 free and 400 IM earlier in the meet, added a third title with a 2:16.54 in the women's 200 IM. Ruby Martin of the host Iowa Flyers came in second in a personal best 2:18.18, while Minnesota Aquatics' Tori Simenec placed third in 2:18.28. Wisconsin Aquatics' Michael Weiss picked up his third win of the meet as well after posting the fastest time in the men's 200 IM final. Weiss moved up three spots from his fourth place showing in prelims to take the win in 2:04.06, with top seed and teammate Andrew Teduits right behind in 2:04.45. Jae Park of Nasa Wildcat rounded out the top three in 2:04.75.
Barrington Swim Club's Kristen Jacobsen set a new pool record en route to a winning time of 16:48.66 in the women's 1500 free, dropping 13 seconds from her previous best time. Morgan Dickson of Patriot Aquatic Club dropped 14 seconds to finish second in 16:54.85. Wisconsin Aquatics' Jenny Holtzen came in third in 17:08.34.
After winning the 100 fly last night, Wisconsin Aquatics' Ivy Martin added another victory, this time in the 50 free. Martin touched in 25.10, which is the third-fastest time by an American this year behind Madison Kennedy's 24.78 and Natalie Coughlin's 24.97. Martin's time also established a new pool and meet record in the event. Chase Kinney, also of Wisconsin Aquatics, placed second in 25.81, while Academy Bullets' Avery Braunecker claimed third in 26.45. Badger's Derek Toomey dropped almost half a second from his prelim swim to take the men's sprint free title in 22.76, a new pool record. Brian Anderson of St. Charles Swim Team came in more than three tenths behind in 23.11, while Club Hawkeye's Brandon Farnum took third in 23.44.
Sean Maloney of Wisconsin Aquatics dipped under 16-minutes for the first time in his career en route to a win in the men's 1500 free. Maloney dropped a 15:59.23 to smash his best time of 16:08.01 and top teammate Nicholas Caldwell (16:00.12) by less than a second.

text: This is a piece I did for Creative Loafing (Tampa's most awesome free local newspaper), again thought I'd share if you all missed it. Two very different eateries have opened in South Tampa. Stacked Burgers opened Mon., Aug. 1, and is steadily cranking out the burgers. I swung by to scope the place out on their third day of business and was warmly greeted by the manager, Lenny, who helped enlighten me about their concept. In a nutshell, "three almost famous ex-jocks … agreed they all love a great hamburger and a cold beer," and thus, Stacked Burgers was born. In the space formerly occupied by Tijuana Flats, due east of the bustling SoHo bar scene, Stacked Burgers appears to be targeting the not-uncommon audience that enjoys burgers and football, or even hungry drunks willing to walk a few blocks to get a burger. SB opens every day at 11 a.m., and stays open until 3 a.m. Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights. They already have large flat-screen TVs adorning the walls, with more to be added soon, and near-term plans also include partially enclosing the deck area and adding TVs for outdoor entertainment (once the weather becomes more favorable). The restaurant's name is quite clearly a double entendre, as not only are most of the burgers and sandwiches multiple patties stacked atop each other, but the waitstaff (comprised primarily of college-aged ladies) is also rather … well … endowed? Think popular-local-wing-restaurant and you'll understand the direction that the partners went with the concept. Many menu items are also thick with undertones, such as the "Chicken Chest Sandwich" (double grilled chicken breast sandwich) or the "French Maid Dip Burger" (a Stacked Steak Burger with cheese and sautéed onions, and a side of au jus). The patrons all seemed to be enjoying their meals, and although I was sad to see the Flats go, it appears that Stacked Burger may be just what was needed to re-boot this dining space. Conceptually almost the polar opposite of Stacked Burger, Viitals Healthy Gourmet Café opened today in South Tampa. A husband and wife team, Ivan and Silvia Nikolov opened the first Viitals bakery in October '09 at 6605 N. Florida Ave. in Seminole Heights, and just completed (last night at 5am!) their new location on South Dale Mabry in the shopping plaza adjacent to Publix (immediately north, next to Doormet). Ivan is an interesting character: a completely natural bodybuilder with a passion for health. He came to the U.S. in 2002 from Bulgaria. Seeing the dearth of options for nutritious food, he and his wife opened a café offering exactly that, fare that not only looks and tastes good, but is as healthy as Ivan could make it. As for the name, Viitals is the plural of "vital" — the extra "I" is in homage to his wife; the café's name is an anagram of hers. No joke, Viitals' current best-selling items are gluten-free, vegan, protein-enriched cupcakes. While those adjectives typically conjure up images of artificial flavorings and cardboard-textured foodstuffs, the offerings here are quite the opposite. Hand-crafted items are made fresh daily that are all gluten-free (with many items being vegan) and each menu item's focus almost "designed" from the ground up to be the most nutritious presentation of that dish possible: no trans fats, no refined sugars (replaced with palm coconut sugar), baked with olive oil instead of vegetable oil. Viitals will offer up fare that many of South Tampa's body-conscious residents will likely embrace with open arms. The new location will also incorporate high-quality European-style espresso bar using only organic coffee, espresso, milks (including coconut for the vegan coffee lovers) and other ingredients. They'll also offer ready-made paninis, smoothies, baked goods and more. http://www.stackedburgers.net

How To Choose A Dishwasher
Essentially dishwashing machines all do the exact same function, they wash dishes. Some do it more expensively and with more bells, lights and whistles than others do. A fundamental dishwashing appliance will certainly set you back a bit less than $ 300.00. If you're in to better quality devices for your property you could spend $ 600.00 or even more.
A fundamental dishwashing machine will certainly come without any kind of frills. A fundamental dishwashing appliance will certainly tend to be louder than the more expensive styles and have plastic tubs. Your dishes will certainly receive a good wash with a standard dishwashing appliance.
A mid-priced dishwasher will certainly give you a few more fuss. These dishwashing machines are more elegant in layout than less costly ones. They'll operate quieter and have even more flexibility in filling. In the lower end you'll still find plastic tubs.
A top grade dishwashing appliance will certainly in some cases have the electronic touch panel hidden which maintains the dishwashing appliance looking streamlined. It will certainly have detachable top shelfs and usually will have stainless steel tubs. The wash your dishes will certainly get from a high grade dishwashing appliance will certainly be excellent. Newer styles allow you to fill a month's worth of dishwashing appliance detergent at one time.
The majority of dishwashing machines have at the very least 3 wash cycles, light, normal and heavy. This is usually sufficient for most consumers. With much higher end dishwashing machines you'll have a bigger choice of wash cycles readily available. Some feature pot scrubber, soak/scrub and china/crystal. Some permit drying with or without heat.
Some dishwashing machines are now self-cleaning. Any type of food that is removed from dishes is cleaned in to a filter to keep it from being re-transferred back onto dishes. Rinse choices can feature a sanitizing rinse. This does not have any kind of affect on cleaning of the dishes. It increases the water temperature to 140 degrees Fahrenheit.
There are numerous points you'll desire to consider before you make your dishwashing appliance acquisition. One, is the money you'll desire to spend. As discussed above, a lesser end dishwashing appliance will certainly cost about $ 300.00 and a top end $ 600.00 or more.
Will your dishwashing appliance be going under your cabinets? That's where most are placed today. Perhaps you'll need a compact design which will certainly fit into a smaller sized kitchen, or even a mobile device that can be moved to the sink and hooked up to the tap.
What is the cost to use the dishwashing machine? Inspect the producers specifications. Water use could operate between 3 and one-half gallons up to around twelve gallons a load depending on the manufacturer. An energy efficient dishwashing appliance will certainly conserve you a load of money in the course of it's years of use.
Also, depending on the kind and quantity of dishes you consistently wash you might need a much more flexible dishwashing appliance. If you are washing platters, large bowls and pans on an everyday basis you will certainly desire to see to it your dishwashing appliance has flexible filling capacity.

So, lapdog 1958, what did you win? Your representatives refusing to do their job for another 3 months? Increased health care with fewer medical facilities to treat you? More government borrowing? Your representatives deciding to give themselves a pass on a law "that will be good for you"? Your loss of the freedom to decide what medical health care plan is right for you?
Yeah, you're the type of winner that our politicians like. Those too ignorant of the truth to vote them out of a job.

Wheel, The long term harm had been inflicted well before the latest "crisis"! From the Sept CBO report, "Between 2009 and 2012, the federal government recorded the largest budget deficits relative to the size of the economy since 1946, causing federal debt to soar. Federal debt held by the public is now about 73 percent of the economy's annual output, or gross domestic product (GDP). That percentage is higher than at any point in U.S. history except a brief period around World War II, and it is twice the percentage at the end of 2007. If current laws generally remained in place, federal debt held by the public would decline slightly relative to GDP over the next several years, CBO projects. After that, however, growing deficits would ultimately push debt back above its current high level."

UUUUH Wheezerdawg a year ago the trustees of Medicare said the unfunded liabilities were about $40 TRILLION, about 2.5 times the GDP.
Thanks to liberal policies and the entitlement state, this country has been a dead man walking for about 20 years.

I posted the following on a similar NR article regarding this issue:
Fortunately, it "seems" like the immediate budget crisis is over for the short term, but the fiasco has inflicted long-term harm on the nation. The U.S., for all its political and fiscal faults, has long been considered the pillar of stability in the world. That credibility has contributed to our international leadership and the supremacy of our currency. The childish antics of the past months that carried the nation to the very brink of economic chaos made us appear politically immature and unstable. Even with the last second deal to resolve the crisis I doubt we will be able to fully repair the damage that has been done. It will come back to haunt us economically and politically.

Harry Truman " The Buck stops HERE!"
Barack Obama " It is the GOP's Fault. It is Bush's Fault. It is Israel's Fault. .... It is the San Andreas Fault ......"
Can you imagine a REAL LEADER like Reagan caught up in a dumb pizzing contest like this??
Even Bill Clinton had a GOP House and SENATE and accomplished MASSIVELY more than Obama just by being a slick negotiator.
Obama is not worthy to polish Reagan's Grave and he sure as }{ell is no Bill Clinton either.

It appears that people are beginning to see that the default process was not the product of the GOP House shutting things down. If you can read at all by now you know that the budget was approved in the House, with the proviso that there would have to more work done on the cost of Obamacare which will raise the debt by another trillion dollars. The budget was rejected by the Dem controlled Senate (by four votes only), to demand that the debt ceiling be raised (as it has EVERY YEAR that Obama has been in office). The shutdowns, played out in the slanted media, are the choices of the White House, not the Congress. But you cannot find ten people who understand anymore than the images that they were fed, and thus they chant mindlessly. The shutdowm of memorials, parks and services to the families of veterans killed in the Obama Islamic Wars were the choices of the White House, not the Congress. Worry not, the billions to the Muslim Brotherhood and AlQuida continue on undisturbed.

We will only default if the President instructs the Treasury to not make the interest payments on the debt. If he does this, he should be impeached.
With record low interest rates, we are still forking over $450 billion or so in interest each year. Imagine a jump to 5% or so and we are now looking at $650 billion.
I must say that Barry Hussein Soetero Obama is the worst President in the history of this once great Republic.
A combination of racism, reverse racism, political correctness, stupidity, an entitlement mentality and voter fraud got this guy into office.

The USA Default should be an Impeachable offense of the Presidency of the USA.
Income is over $227 Billion a month, interest service on the debt is about $37 BILLION a month.
The ONLY reason for default is INCOMPETENCE of the US Government.

text: OK, I have an older MTB with what I assume are V-Brakes. I mean the cable attaches to both arms directly and pulls from the center. On my Trek Hybrid I have a similiar system, but the arms are longer and the cable goes through an elbow and pulls from the side. Are these cantilever brakes. Also, can I swap the first type for the second with existing bosses? At first glance it looks like I'd get better stopping power with the second set-up, and it shouldn't be hard to change. Any thought? I searched, but am still confused.

Gregory Katsas, former Assistant Attorney General of the Civil Division in the Bush administration, will rejoin Jones Day next month as a partner in the issues and appeals practice, the firm announced on Thursday. He is scheduled to start on Nov. 9.
In his eight years at the department, Katsas represented the government in every federal circuit and the U.S. Supreme Court. He seemed to specialize in the controversial, arguing in cases concerning the detention of enemy combatants at Guantanamo Bay, the use of national security letters in counterterrorism investigations, the applicability of the state secrets privilege, the closure of immigration hearings for suspected terrorists, and the constitutionality of federal statutes on topics ranging from the Pledge of Allegiance to partial-birth abortion.
Between 2001 and 2008, Katsas held numerous front office jobs at DOJ, including Deputy Assistant Attorney General, Principal Deputy Associate Attorney General and Acting Associate Attorney General. He was confirmed as Assistant Attorney General of the Civil Division in June 2008 — shortly after the Supreme Court issued its landmark opinion in Boumediene v. Bush, which granted Guantanamo Bay detainees the right to challenge their confinement in federal court. (Katsas argued the case before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, a high point of his career, he said.)
The Court's decision came down on June 12, the day Katsas returned from his honeymoon. At the time, he was leading the Civil Division in an acting capacity. Katsas was consumed with marshaling resources and assembling records to meet court deadlines in more than 200 habeas cases in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. He and his team recruited dozens of lawyers from the Civil Division and various other corners of the Justice Department for the effort.
"In my eight years at DOJ, I don't know of any other AAG who had to ask for a detail like that," Katsas said in a telephone interview. "We had wonderful support from Attorney General Mukasey and Deputy Attorney General Filip, and we put together a great team very quickly."
As of early September, federal district judges had ordered the release of 29 detainees and sided with the department seven times. About 50 government lawyers are defending the detentions in court.
Before joining the department, Katsas (Princeton, Harvard Law) was an issues and appeals partner at the firm, specialing in complex appellate and trial-court litigation. He was a law clerk to Judge Edward Becker of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit and to Justice Clarence Thomas.
"We are very pleased to have Greg back," Mary Ellen Powers, partner-in-charge of Jones Day's Washington office, said in a statement. "He was already a great lawyer, but the experience of running DOJ's Civil Division obviously adds an extra dimension to his ability to help the firm's clients in a wide variety of matters."

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit on Wednesday granted a rehearing in the case of a man suing the government for allegedly invading his privacy with wiretaps, clandestine surveillance, and repeated airport searches, The BLT reports.
The move is a win for the Justice Department. The D.C. Circuit ruled that Scott Tooley had standing to sue in February, though the panel described his claims as "thin."
In his suit filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, Tooley complained of intermittent clicking on his phone line — evidence, apparently, of a wiretap — and said he has been frequently detained and searched at airports. He named a roster of government officials in his initial complaint (the trial judge tossed his suit), but on appeal the list was pared down to the attorney general, the secretary of Homeland Security and the acting administrator of the Transportation Security Administration.
In the Febraury opinion, Senior Judge Stephen Williams and Judge David Tatel voted to remand Tooley's case for further proceedings, on the grounds that the district court was required to accept Tooley's allegations as true. Chief Judge David Sentelle dissented, equating Tooley's claims to "fanciful beliefs."
Justice appellate lawyer Teal Luthy Miller wrote in the government's petition for rehearing,
Allowing this and other fanciful suits to go forward can subject the government to burdensome and ultimately pointless discovery in a sensitive area of national security, with perhaps an ultimate need to assert the state secrets privilege, even when the complaint offers no plausible basis for believing that the government had any connection with purported surveillance of the plaintiff.
The D.C. Circuit will hear the case sitting en banc. Arguments are scheduled for October.

Thank you. In fact I do not have a house yet but have been in the process of buying one, therefore saying I have it. Good I have not bought it yet. For the house only purposes, what would be a best way to avoid probate - I have no other valuable assets? Can I include child as a co-owner or buy it as for the trust or use some other inexpensive financial mechanism?
> title automatically vests in your child as survivor outside of probate. :)
Will his other parent be able to sell/loot it it for her own benefits until he is 18? Or I can designate my own guardians.trustees for the purpose of the house?

Beautiful watch
This review is from: Tissot T-Classic Dream Black Dial Mens Watch T033.410.16.053.00
Pros: Watch arrived quicker than expected. Opened the package, and was met with one of the best looking watches I've ever seen.
Cons: When I went to set the time/date, the date would not change at 12, but at 1:30. I took it to a local Tissot retailer who said that it was a mechanical failure which could only be resolved by the manufacturer. Unfortunately had to send the watch back, but through no fault of the seller. Have to give 5* based on the entirety of the transaction, and understand that the issue I had was beyond the control of anyone involved.
Other Thoughts: Anyone looking for a watch should definitely check out this seller's items.

It means your headset (the bearings that the fork turns on) is worn out. It prefers to settle into set positions because the ball bearings are finding little worn out dimples in the bearing surfaces to rest in.
You can go to an LBS and have them install a new headset, but the job will run in the neighborhood of 65$. Considering that this is a significant proportion of the bike's monetary value, you may be better off noticing that many other areas of the bike are also worn out and that its cheaper to just buy a new bike.
This probably occurred due to a poorly adjusted headset (either too tight or too loose).
If the bearings are in a retaining ring, you can replace them with loose balls. You will be able to fit more loose balls than are in the retaining ring so this will lessen the indexed steering effect since not all balls will be in the existing dimples.
You could also try to rotate very slightly the crown race on your fork to offset those dimples from the ones on the cone race in the top of the headtube. But this would require some special tools to pop off the crown race and re-seat it on the fork. I have never tried this so I don't know how effective it is.
Mild indexed steering isn't a big deal. My old MTB developed indexed steering and I rode it that way for at least 10 years before replacing the headset.
You can do nothing or you can remove, clean, and regrease, and everything will be fine again. You don't need to replace the headset.
I would not guarantee that at all. Gonzo Bob's post is accurate.
A typical headset that is adjusted too tight will do this. Or it could be that the headset races have worn or otherwise been damaged so that the race tracks are no longer smooth. Or it may have even cracked a race if you ride fairly extremely.
The only way to tell for sure is to pull off the stem, drop the fork out and clean then closely inspect the headset races and bearing balls. If everything checks out as OK then likely it was simply adjusted too tight. Re-grease and set the preload so that you lose any slop and then then go for just a hair more preload so that the races do not come loose when loaded. You want to feel a little preload drag but it should be smooth with no notchiness or cogging like feel.
Model airplanes are cool too!.....
Thank you for all of the helpful input. I just acquired this bike not too long ago and I've already replaced the bottom bracket, the wheels (with spares that I had from my GT road bike), the chain and crankset, and I've also replaced the annoying grip shifters... clearly, I don't mind getting my hands dirty. I was told by the PO that bike did sit out last winter (which is why I replaced the drivetrain).
With that said, I will disassemble the front steering hardware to see if there are any cracks or unsmooth race tracks. The notches don't really bother me much, but if it's something fixable I don't mind doing it.
Thanks again!
