Latest eyebrow-raiser: Sandusky lawyer invites students out for drinks
Jerry Sandusky shouldn't have showered with those kids.
The former college football coach, 68, said as much to NBC's Bob Costas 10 days after his arrest in November.
But with his sentencing complete, that jarring appearance now ranks among the odd turns in a strange criminal defense that has defied legal norms for almost a year.
Fresh twists came Monday night when a student radio station shared a bold statement from the imprisoned pedophile while his second-string attorney drank in downtown State College.
"OK, I'm buying at Zeno's bar," the attorney, Karl Rominger, wrote on Twitter. He invited Penn State University students to show up within 30 minutes "to get on my tab."
"Coeds appreciated," Rominger added.
At Duquesne University, law professor S. Michael Streib said the legal community doesn't look well on such antics. "To the extent that he's become a public persona because of his participation in the Sandusky case, I'm not sure that's an image he would want to cultivate," Streib said.
Rominger said he was simply kidding on Twitter and didn't drink with any college women. He argued much of the case has proven unconventional.
"I don't know if there was any (plan), per se, to throw out the rule book," he said. "The reality of modern trial practice in a high-profile case is that you have to consider the media component. The government does. They're controlling it with charging documents, the perp walk."
Rominger said a conventional defense may not put its client on NBC or in The New York Times, with which Sandusky also did an interview last fall.
But news media helped shape the ordeal from the start, and the defense team wanted to avoid "a patina of guilt" before the trial in June, Rominger said.
More recently, Sandusky himself "really wanted to get his side of the story out." His nearly three-minute audio message shared through ComRadio, a university-backed student station, was meant for release after sentencing Tuesday, Rominger said.
Sandusky used the rambling message to declare his wife has been "my only sex partner." He also questioned the integrity of his victims.
He went further at sentencing, saying: "I've been kissed by dogs; I've been bitten by dogs." Sandusky also implied he cracked his head against the wall and suggested it was ironic, though his context and meaning were unclear.
"Unfortunately, this is classic narcissism that is normally used by chronic child abusers or pedophiles. They completely lack any sort of empathy," said Tony Gaskew, a criminal-justice professor at the University of Pittsburgh at Bradford.
He said Sandusky "cannot even remotely see the impact of his behavior on others because he feels he's the most important entity."
Longtime Sandusky friend Joyce Porter, 64, of State College said she was surprised he made a statement. She doesn't know what he was trying to accomplish.
"You know, what can he say?" said Porter, who thinks Sandusky is innocent. "Most people don't believe him. Most people had him prosecuted before the trial even started. I think a lot of people would've sent him to prison just for taking a shower with a boy.
"It was their word against his word."

Dish Networks bid for Clearwire tops Sprint's offer
0. phoneArena posted on 08 Jan 2013, 18:47
Charles Ergen and his Dish Network are trying to bust up the proposed Sprint offer to buy Clearwire with an offer of its own; the termsof theoffer fromDish call for the satellite content provider to pay $3.30 which is a nice premium over the $2.97 that Sprint is offering for the half of the wireless firms shares that Sprint doesn't already own...
This is a discussion for a news. To read the whole news, click here

Clearwire is a ride or die chick....It wants Sprint so bad....
2. ajac09 (Posts: 1482; Member since: 30 Sep 2009)
does clear really want to be with a losing company that bad? Id have taken Dish instead.
8. Slammer (Posts: 1515; Member since: 03 Jun 2010)
What experience does Dish have in cell service? Historically, Any cable company trying to make a game at wireless phone service, has not made inroads to compete effectively. Clearwire needs to look long term to protect assets. Sprint is viable.

Hell what experience does sprint have? They are in the business but they suck at it. Dish is an up and coming cellular company and are offering more money and probably will be around alot longer then sprint.
4. zig8100 (Posts: 236; Member since: 13 Dec 2012)
Im pretty sure Sprint already bought them out already. That's why.
3. corporateJP (Posts: 2458; Member since: 28 Nov 2009)
These guys really want Sprint to take full ownership, good, bad, or indifferent.
5. cripton805 (Posts: 1485; Member since: 18 Mar 2012)
Well Clear is worth more now that they accepted Sprints offer. A lot of investors pulled in and a lot would pull out if crappy Dish bought them.
7. NexusKoolaid (Posts: 493; Member since: 24 Oct 2011)
Re-read the press release. The "illusory, not viable and inferior" comment is from Sprint, not Clearwire.
12. cripton805 (Posts: 1485; Member since: 18 Mar 2012)
I don't see what that has to do with my comment.
6. NexusKoolaid (Posts: 493; Member since: 24 Oct 2011)
Alan - double check the press release. I didn't see where Clearwire rejected or responded to the offer by saying it is illusory, .... What I read was that Clearwire recieved a letter from Sprint in which Sprint said it "believes that it is illusory, inferior to the Sprint transaction and not viable because it cannot be implemented in light of Clearwire's current legal and contractual obligations."
10. Alan01 (Posts: 444; Member since: 21 Mar 2012)
The quote is from Sprint, thanks for pointing that out. Still, based on the Special Committee's comments and the ties that Sprint has to the company, plus the conditions placed on the deal by Dish, Clearwire probably is saying that as well

Sprint is just trying to posture eh, they have more than enough money woes without trying to buy a company they can barely afford, they still have that $15B iPhone 5 tab to pay Apple...Sprint, I wonder how long these guys can operate like this? They keep this up and T-Mobile may just outfox them, T-Mo is looking to turn on their LTE in coming weeks, what on earth is Sprint doing...playing 100,000 Pyramid with Clearwire, aren't these guys the owners of Z100 and that lot of radio stations?
13. cripton805 (Posts: 1485; Member since: 18 Mar 2012)
Well Sprint already turned on their lte in July.
15. usguyver (Posts: 5; Member since: 08 Nov 2009)
you do know what the Softbank deal will go though and they are giving sprint like 20 billion bucks to help them and then they are given them even more latter so once this deal goes though then sprint will have plenty of money to go around and they will be able to pay off the money that they owe. so they will be fine and better off then t-mobile

I Still Need JB To Fake My iPod As iPhone
Everbody Is Asking About Theme So Here You Go:
Theme Is "Symbian Belle" By ~iAR7
You Need To Edit Some Things Cuz Its Not Optimised For iOS6.
This isn't a jailbreak as a kernel exploit still needs to be provided. Winocm released the code part so this is a DIY jailbreak that most can't use.
There is an exploit that Apple has known about for 4 months called posix_spawn(0) which is a full sandbox escaping kernel vulnerability that is still alive & kicking.
Perhaps a team could take this part (which winocm only released because it doesn't work in iOS 7) & use the, already reported to Apple, kernel exploit to create a jailbreak for the masses. Whether Musclenerd throws it in to redsn0w or evasion puts something together, it would be a fantastic thing for a LOT of people.
Now we just have to wait & see if that happens.
Can't wait to be able to jailbreak my iPhone 5 on 6.1.4

...So he can use a phone app maybe? A friend of mine keeps a hotspot in his pocket for wifi connection in tandem with one of those apps that give you a real working phone over wifi. I had heard of others doing this with an iPod as well.
Do you think this will be put to public as a release
Why in da world would u buy an ipod touch that was on ios 6.1.3:s
The guy I sold it to, didn't have an AT&T account, can't get one, but instead he bought a satellite hotspot and installed that tapatalk app and it even allowed him to use his previous phone number. I'm sure it would work just as we'll with Googol Voice.
I was asking 500 bucks for that phone on c-list, I think I got what I needed, it was 5.1.1 jail broken which had been the most solid JB and OS combo I had until 6.1.2 came out with evasi0n 1.5 which came out the same week as iOS 6.1.2. But he kept on adding stupid repositories and he broke his Cydia. I told him to bring it to me so u can fix it, I can even do the semi tether 6.1.3 JB. But I basically used 5.1.1 and jailbreak as selling points.
I wish the full source code for this tweak would be released. So basically this news is telling us there are guys running about with 6.1.3 JB'd but we just can't get the JB.

|Corporate XS
A team of young Brits is putting together a unique program designed to bring powerboat racing into the sports mainstream. And you can be part of it.
By Alan Harper — June 2003
Let's see now: You want to go powerboat racing but don't want to kill yourself. You fancy the glamour of high-end offshore competition, but you'd never persuade your company's finance director to spend that kind of money on a sponsorship. You could use an excuse to spend some of your company's marketing budget, but it would have to show some kind of return. Your clients are bored with golf--and so are you.
Why not take them to Cannes or Barcelona for the weekend? Give them a glamorous waterside venue, exotic machinery, professional catering, and seamless event management. Treat them like kings, then scare the bejesus out of them--safely, but unforgettably--and send them home with some seriously feel-good memories.
Like the idea? Then you should meet Ian Sanderson. This 38-year-old Englishman is a former racing driver for the Porsche Works Team in Europe and a recent convert to the rough and tumble world of offshore racing, but he's already put more high-speed nautical miles behind him than most racers manage in a career. He plans to bring the marketing know-how of auto racing to offshore with a fleet of identical 39-foot Sunseeker XS 2000s.
It seems like the perfect boat for this venture. A Fabio Buzzi design, the Sunseeker XS 2000 is arguably one of the most sophisticated muscle boats in the world. With diesel power and surface-piercing drives, she can trace her ancestry directly back to the Italian maestro's legendary CESA raceboat, which conquered the watery world back in 1988. As a production boat, the XS will do about 70 mph with twin 420-hp Yanmars. The racing prototype can better that, even with more fuel aboard: Production versions are expected to be 1,000 pounds lighter and good for 80 mph.
The boats will be owned, maintained, repaired, and transported by XS Racing, of which Sanderson is CEO. The group is backed by the independent German-based dealership Sunseeker Europe and also supported by the boats' manufacturer, Sunseeker International. They will be built by Halmatic of Portsmouth, England, and engineered and rigged by Sanderson's team.
Sanderson knew he'd need a technical director to navigate the politics of powerboat racing, and that's where Peter Dredge comes in. A seasoned racer, Dredge is also a hardened committee man who served for years with the U.K. governing body of the sport, the Royal Yachting Association. His inside knowledge of the sport has made it possible--and imperative--to negotiate independent status for XS Racing with the international authority. So now, with the blessing of the world's powerboat racing governing body, Union Internationale Motonautique, in Monaco, XS Racing is an autonomous, one-design series, run by its owners and beholden to no one. The only politics it's going to have to deal with is whose turn it is to make the coffee.
Dredge embodies the race experience of XS Racing: A prominent campaigner in Class II throughout the 1990's, he won U.K. National, World, and U.S. titles in Buzzi Buzzard, a 105-mph RIB based on the same hull as the XS 2000. Not even Sunseeker's test drivers have more experience on this boat.

Last year the Asian Business Aviation Conference & Exhibition (ABACE) in Shanghai was reborn on a wave of growing confidence in China as an emerging market for business aviation goods and services. It drew 156 companies to the 43,000-sq-foot exhibit floor.
ABACE organizers are forecasting 175 exhibitors at next month's show (to be held from April 16 to 18) and no small number of those from all corners of the globe will be from the cabin completion and refurbishment industry segment and its suppliers.
Few centers have been more successful in establishing a presence in China than Flying Colours, a Peterborough, Ontario MRO and completion and refurbishment facility. Last year the center delivered four Challenger 850s in the region and it has five more of that model in the pipeline, with completion and delivery to China expected within the next 12 months. In addition, it delivered two Global Express major refurbishments for Chinese clients last year. By year-end, Flying Colours will have delivered a total of 15 Challenger 850s to China. In fact, said president John Gillespie, "we have considered opening our own facility as well as the option of working with a Chinese partner via a joint venture."
Aircraft interiors design and engineering firm Talco of San Antonio is forging closer ties with a number of refurbishment centers in Asia, including Ameco, Jet Aviation and Taeco. According to president and CEO Tom Langeland, there is growing demand in China for cabin refurbishment that is technology driven. With that in mind, Talco has opened an office in Hong Kong and has local representation in Xiamen.
Aeria Luxury Interiors, launched last year at the Singapore Air Show, is also in San Antonio. Part of ST Aerospace of Singapore, it has already signed two projects with Chinese clients: a BBJ that required a maintenance check as well as interior work, and a Boeing 767-200ER for major refurbishment.
Also in the U.S., Associated Air Center in Dallas delivered two Boeing Business Jets to operators in China last year.
SR Technics in Zurich delivered its first major cabin refurbishment to a Chinese client last year and OHS Aviation Services in Berlin is collaborating with Honeywell and Lufthansa Bombardier Aviation Services to do a major cabin refurbishment of an Asian customer's Global Express.
Jet Aviation Singapore has a well established center in that island city state and, in addition to numerous repair station approvals, has increased its focus on cabin refurbishment.
In China itself is Ameco Beijing, a joint partner with German maintenance, repair, overhaul and cabin completion heavyweight Lufthansa Technik. The center is new to business and private aircraft support and is rapidly expanding is refurbishment activity.
Also in China is Taikoo, better known in the West as Taeco (Taikoo Aircraft Engineering Company). The Xiamen-based center is the first and only center with authorization from both Airbus and Boeing to provide cabin outfitting.
All the above completion and refurbishment specialists, and others yet to test the waters, are banking on China, and indeed much of the Pacific Rim, as a long-term market.
ForeignPolicy.com, an online magazine of global politics and economics, takes a long-term look at China, estimating that by 2040 its economy will hit $123 trillion and per capita income will be in the $85,000 range.
A recent briefing by China-Window.com, "a clearing house for all things Chinese," predicted China will become "the world's safest and largest investment economy in times to come."
JetNet, a Utica, N.Y.-based provider of aviation market intelligence, will release its "State of the Market" briefing at ABACE, and, according to JetNet iQ Briefing creator/director Rolland Vincent, the numbers from JetNet iQ show the business aviation fleet in Asia currently representing 5 percent of the worldwide total, but accounting for an eye-opening 15 percent of the worldwide business jet movements.
"Any way you look at the numbers, you realize that Asia is a long-term market for business aviation that has only begun to embrace the industry," he concluded.
While there are no guarantees in life, and certainly not in the world of business, no few business aviation completion and refurbishment executives are taking the words of Shakespeare to heart. To whit: "There is a tide in the affairs of men. Which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune," said Brutus in the bard's Julius Caesar. And he concluded, "On such a full sea we are now afloat, and we must take the current when it serves, or lose our ventures."

An MP is calling on Boris Johnson to make a bus service run 24 hours between Sutton and Croydon.
Carshalton and Wallington MP Tom Brake wants to extend Sutton's 154 bus service to 24 hours a day or bring back the N213 night bus.
London Mayor Boris Johnson
The mayor recently announced plans for a 24-hour tube service at weekends from 2015 but Mr Brake wants more to be done.
The former night bus serving Carshalton and Wallington, the N213, was withdrawn in 2009 after Transport for London concluded it attracted too few users.
But since then Mr Brake's constituents have regularly contacted him requesting later journeys between Croydon and Sutton.
He said: "The lack of night time transport services in Carshalton and Wallington particularly affects those working in or participating in the night time economy."
"Without a night bus, the safety of night-time travellers is compromised as they are forced to walk in the middle of the night or use illegal minicabs.
Extending the 154 service into a 24 hour route would have a beneficial impact upon the safety of night clubbers and shift workers alike."

Australia is set to boost national defences against malicious cyber attacks with the government's new security strategy listing this as one of the key national security risks.
Launching the strategy on Wednesday, Prime Minister Julia Gillard said there would be a more sophisticated focus on cyber security in conjunction with the rollout of the national broadband network (NBN).
The government had already invested heavily in strengthening national cyber defences, she said.
The next step occurs on Thursday with the launch of the Australian Cyber Security Centre, co-locating by the end of the year the existing cyber security capabilities of the Attorney-General's department, Australian Security Intelligence Organisation, Australian Federal Police and Australian Crime Commission.
"It will provide Australia with an expanded and more agile response capability to deal with all cyber issues, be they related to government or industry, crime or security," she said.
"Malicious cyber activity will likely be with us for many decades to come, so we must be prepared for a long, persistent fight."
Leading security analyst Paul Dibb, emeritus professor of strategic studies at the Australian National University, said the cyber threat to Australia was serious, although not as serious as that confronting the US and UK.
He said this wasn't just criminal hackers but also included certain countries.
"Let's just name them - China and Russia. Whether they are endorsed by their governments or not is a matter, frankly, of judgement," he said.
Telstra spokesman Scott Whiffin said cyber security was a key priority for government and industry.
"This announcement includes some significant initiatives that will improve and strengthen our joint efforts in the fight against cyber threats," he said in a statement.
"We will review the detail of cyber security strategy which formed part of today's announcement and look for opportunities to continue to work with government and other parties to protect Australia's interests."
Also welcoming this initiative was Huawei Australia, local subsidiary of Chinese firm Huawei, the world's largest manufacturer of telecommunications equipment.
Huawei was named in the US as a security threat and has been banned from performing work on the NBN on the basis of unspecified advice from security agencies.
Its chairman, retired Rear Admiral John Lord, said he had previously called for creation of a national cyber security evaluation centre and stood ready to work with the government and industry to make this a reality.
"Huawei welcomes the government's aspiration to become a global leader in this area. Collaboration is the key to success, and major global technology companies like Huawei must be part of the solution to cyber threats," he said in a statement.

Certain infections can spread from person to person. This is why your friend or family member may be put in a special room. Restrictions may be placed on who can go in and out of that room and what protection must be worn. This is for your protection and the patient's protection. Read this sheet to learn more.
Infection is caused by germs. An infected person carries germs that he or she can give to others. Even a person who doesn't feel sick can still carry and spread germs. Germs can cause infection by traveling through the air or through direct contact. The rules about when and who can visit your friend or family member depends on what kind of infection he or she has.
To stop infection from spreading, healthcare workers may do one or more of the following:
Place an infected patient in a private room, or in a room with others who have exactly the same infection. (This depends on what kind of infection the patient has.)
Place restrictions on who can enter and exit this room.
Wear a mask, gloves, gown, or other items, and ask you to do the same when you visit.
Wear an air filter (respirator) for some infections, and ask you to do the same when you visit.
You may be asked to wear a mask, gloves, gown, or respirator when you visit. Follow any instructions carefully.
Practice good hand hygiene, especially after using the bathroom and before and after touching the patient or his or her surroundings. Good hand hygiene means washing your hands with soap and water or using alcohol-based gels or foams.
Keep your hands away from your face.
Cough or sneeze into a tissue. Then throw the tissue away and wash your hands. If you don't have a tissue, cough or sneeze into the crook of your arm.
Do not use the patient's bathroom.
Do not visit a patient if you feel sick. Do not visit if you have been exposed to an illness such as the flu, chickenpox, or measles.

Insuring Your Home During Remodeling
If you're adding an extra room or making some other improvement to your home, you will probably need to update your homeowners insurance policy to cover the addition or improvement. You should also protect yourself from liability by ensuring that the workers performing the renovations have proper insurance coverage.
Notify your insurance agent about your remodeling plans
Contact your insurance agent before construction begins in order to increase your coverage to reflect the new changes in your home. He or she can help you determine how much additional property coverage you'll need and can also help you obtain extended liability or other insurance. Keep your agent informed about the progress of the remodeling in case your plans change and a different level of coverage is needed.
Increase the amount of your coverage
Although some homeowners policies are comprehensive enough to cover most home additions and improvements, other policies make it necessary for you to increase your coverage amount. Remember that your home's value will increase with the improvements, so you'll soon have more to protect. Don't make the mistake of waiting until the remodeling is completed to increase the amount of your homeowners insurance coverage. You should do this before the work starts. If you don't, and the improvement is damaged or destroyed before it's completed, you'll probably have to pay for the loss out of your own pocket--turning your remodeling plan into a very expensive job. Of course, when you purchase more insurance, your premiums will increase.
What your homeowners insurance should cover
If you're adding a new room or other structure to your house, you would be wise to specifically name the new addition as a covered item on your homeowners policy. Otherwise, if the new structure is damaged, the insurance company might not cover your loss. However, a new roof or modern stormproof windows do not necessarily need to be named as covered items in your policy. In most cases, these improvements will increase the overall value of your house, and you should simply increase your total coverage amount to reflect your home's greater value. Talk to your agent for details. Keep in mind that you may also need to buy increased coverage for any new furniture or other personal property you purchase.
While your remodeling is being done, you also need to consider protection for the building supplies that your contractor uses to complete the job. If supplies such as carpeting, tiles, or lumber are stolen, your homeowners insurance or the contractor's business insurance should cover the theft. The time to find out, though, is before a supplier starts delivering these items to your house.
Make sure your contractor is properly insured
When you hire a contractor to work on your house, you run the risk of a lawsuit if the contractor or an employee gets injured on the job. You need to protect yourself from this potential liability by verifying that the contractor carries adequate workers' compensation coverage. Ask to see proof; have the contractor's insurance agent mail or fax you a copy directly. The contractor should be able to present an active certificate of coverage. Make sure the certificate's active dates reflect the current period. You would be wise to call your contractor's insurance carrier for confirmation.
Your contractor should also have a certificate for contractor's liability coverage. This type of insurance covers any damage the contractor does to your property unrelated to the renovation. In addition, find out if the contractor's policy covers uninstalled finished products, such as chandeliers or ceiling fans. If not, consider adding such coverage to your homeowners policy.
Don't forget subcontractors
If you are having major remodeling done to your house, such as the addition of a new room, your general contractor may delegate some of the work to subcontractors. For instance, he or she may bring in an electrician, plumber, painter, or other specialist to handle a particular area of the job. In this case, examine each subcontractor's certificate of coverage for workers' compensation insurance yourself. Do this even though the general contractor will generally take responsibility for confirming such coverage. You may want to call the insurance carriers for verification. If the amount of coverage is inadequate, contact your agent about extending the limits of the liability portion of your homeowners policy. This is also the case if you plan to act as the general contractor yourself. Subcontractors are separate workers and need to be covered separately.
What if your family or friends help with the work?
Suppose you're doing most of the renovation yourself, with a little help from a relative or close friend; no one is being paid. You still need to make sure your helper is adequately protected in the event of injury. Generally, the liability coverage of your homeowners insurance will pay the medical bills, just as it would for any other guest at your home. Under some circumstances, though, your helper's health insurance might pick up a portion of the medical costs before your homeowners policy kicks in. If you have any questions about coverage, ask your insurance agent.
Finally, it is important to obtain proper inspections to make sure that the addition/renovations meet local code. Without this, a loss might not be covered. For example, if an electrical fire started in the uninspected room that you added on, you may have a problem.

The Department of Corrections says Casey Anthony has checked in with her probation officer for her third monthly report.
On the form Anthony filled out for her probation officer, Anthony indicated she has been attending some kind of therapy. The word "therapy" was redacted from the report due to medical privacy laws, but it is clear that is the option she had selected.
According to a release from the DOC, Anthony reported to an unknown probation office location on Wednesday at 6:10 p.m.
Anthony remains unemployed despite the terms of her probation requiring she seek employment, the DOC said. She says she has not earned any money.
She told her probation officer she has not used any controlled substances or alcohol, the DOC said. In her last check in, Anthony indicated she had consumed alcohol.
The DOC said it has not noted any violations of Anthonys probation.
Anthony's location has been hidden from the public, despite her probationary status, for her protection.
She is serving one year of probation for a check fraud conviction, but it is the charges she was not convicted of that cause concern.
Anthony was acquitted in July on charges that she murdered her daughter, Caylee.
Caylee was reported missing in July 2008 and her remains were found in a wooded area near the Anthony family's east Orange County home five months later.
During her trial, Anthony's attorneys claimed Caylee had drowned in the family pool in June 2008.
That jury did find Anthony, 25, guilty of four counts of lying to law enforcement.
Anthony's probation is scheduled to end in Aug. 2012.

Office of Public Affairs
12000 Government Center Parkway, Suite 551
Fairfax, VA 22035-0065
Jan. 23, 2003
Fairfax County Board of Supervisors to
Honor Citizens and Issue Proclamation
The Fairfax County Board of Supervisors, at their meeting on Monday, Jan. 27, beginning at 9:30 a.m., will recognize the following citizens for their achievements and contributions to the community. A proclamation will be issued to designate February as African-American History Month in Fairfax County. For more information, call 703-324-3187, TTY 703-324-2935.
Scoring a Home Run for Community Youth
George Chernesky of Centreville will be recognized for his commitment to the youth of the community. Chernesky, president of the Southwestern Youth Association since 1995, organized the commissioners of 11 local youth sports teams into a unified group to offer after-school and summer athletic activities for young people. With the guidance of Chernesky, the association is funding the "Field of Dreams" project, a site of playing fields located in the Centreville area, for youth sports. The "Field of Dreams" is scheduled to open in the fall of 2003.
African-American History Month in Fairfax County
The Board of Supervisors will designate February as African-American History Month in Fairfax County. The proclamation heralds the celebration of African-American heritage within the county and urges all citizens to join in the recognition of members of the African-American community.
John Robinson Completes 22 Years of Service
John Robinson of Herndon will be recognized for 22 years of service as the executive director of the Fairfax County Civil Service Commission. Robinson, the first person to serve in this capacity, created the current procedure for having advisory appeals heard by a hearing officer as opposed to the appeals being heard by the full commission. Instituting this procedure resulted in a significantly reduced backlog of cases to be heard.

If the automotive landscape were to be metaphorically transposed onto a typical TV high school, the 2011 Land Rover LR4 would be the dumb jock. It is absolutely massive, as strong as an ox, and immensely capable when in its element. However, where cabin tech is concerned, it's not what you'd call intelligent. The Rover checks many of the boxes that we like to see filled on our list of available cabin tech options, but it only just barely meets our standards for what's acceptable from a modern tech car, and what's there can be difficult to use.
For example, while setting up Bluetooth hands-free calling, we ended up having to break out the user manual due to the system's complete lack of visual or audible prompts. For techies such as ourselves, having to dig for the manual is truly a humbling experience.
Off- and on-road performance
Forward motivation is provided by the LR4's 5.0 liter V-8 engine, which sends 375 horsepower through a six-speed automatic transmission before the 375 pound-feet of torque is split between its four wheels via its complex Terrain Response system. This system ties together the Rover's front, rear, and center differentials, four-corner air suspension, electronic traction control system, two-speed transfer box with high- and low-gear settings, and braking systems to provide the best possible traction for a variety of situations. The system features presets for sand, snow, mud, and rock crawling, but gives a good deal of flexibility in adjusting the settings to nearly any situation.
There weren't many off-road obstacles that we could find in the San Francisco area that could stop the LR4's forward progression. In its default drive-train mode, we were able to get the big girl to climb a loosely packed dirt hill at over a 45-degree angle of inclination. A romp in the mud was handled with similar ease until a patch of wet grass and standing water nearly froze us in our tracks with the SUV's wheels sunken up to the rim in mud. However, with a quick twist of the drive mode knob to the slippery-surfaces mode and a steady application of throttle, we found the LR4 was able to quickly pull itself free from this trap as well. We spent the better part of an afternoon romping around in the dirt and mud, climbing hill after hill until an attempt at a nearly vertical climb (we estimate it at a 65- to 70-degree angle of inclination) stopped the Rover in its tracks. Satisfied that the 'ute would handle much more than your average soccer mom or weekend warrior would ever run into, we turned our attention to the LR4's on-road behavior.
On public roads, the same suspension that soaked up the bumps when bouncing around in the mud combined with the SUV's tall stance, high center of gravity, and relatively stiff air suspension to create a good deal of body motion when traversing simple speed bumps and potholes. We found ourselves bouncing around in our seats considerably more than we were comfortable with. Fortunately, the seats themselves were quite comfortable, with their adjustable armrests, lumbar support, and heated and cooled surfaces. Jostling ride aside, the Rover LR4 handled fairly well for a vehicle of its size. Acceleration was good (the manufacturer estimates that 0 to 60 takes 7.5 seconds) and the Rover changed direction readily. Body roll was ever-present, but when driven within legal limits, we never felt that the beast was about to buck us.
In crowded San Francisco, we thought that parking would be more of an issue than it was, but thanks to front and rear proximity sensors with audible alerts and a rearview camera, we were able to easily parallel park the Rover, getting into and out of spots without a scratch. When it came time to take the LR4 overnight, we got a little panicked watching the low ceiling of our apartment building's parking deck. Fortunately, the Rover's 76.3-inch height ducked all obstructions. Later we discovered the air suspension's access mode, which lowered the vehicle height by 4 inches. Even though we knew that the LR4 would be OK at the stock height, we began to use the access mode every time we parked, mostly because it made climbing into and out of the vehicle much easier. In addition to the access mode, the LR4 also features an off-road setting that raises the vehicle by about 2 inches over the default height. Exceeding 10 mph in access mode or 30 mph in off-road mode caused the LR4 to reset to the standard ride height.
In the cabin
Overall, we found the LR4's fit and finish to be top-notch, capped off by an optional Lux package that, among other things, bumps the interior trim to premium leather, adds eight-way power adjustment to the front seats, and drops a small refrigerator into the hollow of the center console. However, not once during our entire week with the Rover were we able to successfully close a door or a hatch on the first attempt. Every time we went to close a door, it would catch just shy of full lock, requiring a reopening and second slam. The situation was the same for the rear hatch. Perhaps the doors were merely heavier than we thought they were, but more likely we simply weren't accustomed to brutally slamming the portals of a $60K vehicle, particularly the glass rear hatch.
With the doors firmly shut, the LR4's cabin proved to be quiet and comfortable. Most of the controls fell naturally within our reach, including the Terrain Response knob, the steering wheel controls, seat adjustments, and climate controls. The color touch screen that sits at the top of the center stack was a bit of a stretch, but we didn't anticipate needing to tap it too much while the vehicle was in motion.
Our infotainment features started with standard Bluetooth hands-free calling. As we mentioned earlier, this first bit of tech proved to be extremely difficult to set up. The system provides no onscreen and few audible prompts, so we were left taking stabs in the dark with spoken commands. Further complicating matters was the fact that the hands-free system used a unique four-digit PIN that was only documented in the owner's manual. After about 20 minutes of poking around, we finally got our phone paired. Fortunately, once paired, the hands-free system automatically imported our phonebook, allowing us to access and initiate calls with the touch screen.

New York City, The results of a new survey makes clear that retailers have begun taking on environmental initiatives in a significant way: Two-thirds of CFOs said their companies are actively undertaking environmentally friendly practices, and 44% said they have increased their investments in green practices over the last two year.
The survey, conducted by BDO Seidman as part of its Retail Compass Survey, also found that, among the top 100 largest retailers, 83% are involved in green practices and 62 of those have increased their green investments during the past two years. The majority of all retailers surveyed said they are pursuing both internal and external green practices, from improving the efficiency of operations to selling greener products, while only 9% said their companies are focused solely on external practices.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the whether an automated telephone-based system is useful and helpful for opioid dependent patients receiving buprenorphine in primary care. The Recovery Line support system is a Therapeutic Interactive Voice Response system based on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). The Recovery Line support system includes a variety of modules presenting the basic principles and strategies of CBT. Each module includes learning sections and activities sections to provide direct guidance in using skills. The Recovery Line support system is interactive and also includes a questionnaire to help patients identify problems and recommend modules for use, as well as an inspiration section, an introduction, and an immediate assistance menu. Following development of an initial system the current trial will recruit 40 patients receiving buprenorphine maintenance from a physician provider in the local community. Patients will be randomly (flip of a coin) to receive the Recover Line Support system or to treatment as usual with their physician. Patients assigned to TIVR will be trained on the system and provided 24-hr access to the TIVR system for a four week period. Primary outcome variables will be how long patients remain in treatment, self-reported abstinence from opioids and other drugs, and abstinence as measured by weekly drug screens. It is expected that patients assigned to TIVR will better treatment outcomes than patients assigned to TAU.

With the ladies of its red-light district and its locally brewed Heineken beers — not to mention its famed "coffeehouses" providing another type of high — Amsterdam has been known by many Americans as a mecca of vices. However, when partaking in so many indulgences, an inevitable case of the munchies usually comes, and fortunately the Dutch share that guilty pleasure. Fast food in the Netherlands is a cuisine all of its own, and I'm not just talking about the herring or the frites with mayonnaise (or ketchup or onions) that are quite popular after a night out on the town. Croquettes, sausages and other fried items have often come to aid of the inebriated, or to anyone who simply craves a quick, greasy, salty treat.

Chi Circulation Tai Chi Ball Set
Our set of 2 pair (2 Large & 2 Small = 4 Total) of solid hardwood tai chi balls have a natural organic bee's wax & mineral oil finish. The finish comes from a local Ohio co-op that mixes the formula for Atomic Athletic. With the set of 4 balls, we include Sifus Dr. Yang, Jwing-Ming and David Granthams' book Tai Chi Ball Quigong, the most complete book on Tai Chi Ball Training ever written.
"Now, the most common and popular medical taiji ball qigong training, rotating two ping-pong sized balls in one's palms, has been recognized as one of the most effective ways of improving qi circulation, especially for the lungs and heart. In addition, through this kind of training, the conditions of hand arthritis can be remedied effectively." (Yang, p. 57)
"I love these light wooden balls. They are also great for developing hand strength and dexterity training. Because they are so light weight they force a level of control that heavy ones will never develop." Matt Davis

Against my better feelings, I feel I must recommend this, if only to further my fascination with the wondrous things our society can produce. This would make a great gift for that certain type of person who likes these types of things (know what I mean??) I just feel bad for the fish - can you imagine? "Uh-oh, here he comes again, looks like he's a little sick..."

Runnin' Bulldogs Move Past Flames, Tuesday
Despite Liberty and Gardner-Webb playing close basketball games in recent years, Tuesday night inside the Vines Center was an exception. The Runnin' Bulldogs jumped out to an early lead against the Flames and did not look back en route to a 68-52 decision.
With the defeat, Liberty falls to 9-17 overall and 3-8 in conference play. Gardner-Webb improves to 14-11 on the year and 7-4 in league action. The Runnin' Bulldogs secure their first-ever victory inside the Vines Center after entering the night 0-4 in the facility dating back to the 2008-09 season.
Garnder-Webb's Jerome Hill finished with a game-high 13 points and nine rebounds. Donta Harper and Naji Hibbert added 12 and 11 points, respectively.
Tomasz Gielo led Liberty with 11 points and seven rebounds, while Andrew Smith and John Caleb Sanders each had 10 points.
Liberty shot 37.5 percent (18-of-48) on the night. The Runnin' Bulldogs closed out the evening with 45.0 percent shooting (27-of-60) and moved to 5-0 on the road in conference play this year.
Gardner-Webb went on an early 7-0 run capped by a Hill layup to take a 9-2 lead at the 15:42 mark. Hill later gave the Runnin' Bulldogs a double-digit lead with another basket in the paint, making it 19-8 with 9:06 remaining in the period.
Liberty posted five unanswered points, including a Gielo tip-in to climb within six at 7:22. However, the visitors outscored the Flames, 19-6, during the remainder of the period to carry a 38-19 lead into the locker room at halftime.
Liberty shot 26.7 percent (7-of-26) during the first half, compared to 46.7 percent (14-of-30) for the Runnin' Bulldogs.
Hill led all scorers at halftime with 11 points. Smith paced the Flames with five tallies.
Although both teams were even in the paint (14-14), Gardner-Webb took advantage of Liberty's 12 turnovers, outscoring the Flames off miscues, 16-0.
During the second half, the Runnin' Bulldogs continued to pull away. An Onzie Branch dunk at the 10:37 mark gave the visitors a 55-31 lead, its largest of the night (24 points). Liberty climbed within 16 points of Gardner-Webb with a three-pointer in the final four seconds, ultimately setting up the 68-52 final.
Liberty returns to action on Saturday, squaring off with VMI. The Flames took the first meeting this season inside Cameron Hall on Jan. 11, 85-80. The meeting marks the last regular-season matchup between the two squads before the Keydets leave the Big South, with the series tied, 15-15. Tipoff is slated for 7 p.m., with the contest airing live on the Liberty Flames Sports Network, MASN, ESPN3 and the Big South Network.

Gotta tell ya, this is tremendously tremendous. Just that it's historical. And hysterical.
What are the ironic chances that a Game 7 will go exactly as an entire series goes: Down 0-3, then four straight goals, making it down 0-3, then four straight wins for the Flys?
Though the coverage could have been a tad better last night.
Have I mentioned how I feel about Versus?
How in holy hell can they go to commercial when a goal is being reviewed? I am not 100 percent sure about this, but since the P.A. guy in Boston announced that the play was under review AFTER Versus came back from its commercials kind of tells me that the NHL guys in Toronto had to wait through the commercials to see the replays. Are you byfuglien kidding me? And when they did come back and show the replays, those lame three angles were all they had? That inconclusive stuff was the best they could do? The NHL must demand that its broadcast partners never do this again.
I won't even go into the confused words of the broadcasters.
Then, after the historical ending, Versus showed us how many shots of Peter Laviolette? How many shots of Bruins fans? How many shots of Flyers fans? How many shots from the arena in Philly? Every other entity that covers hockey figured out 10, 15, 20 years ago that you never cut away from the handshake line. Never. You don't do it. This is what the viewers want to see. You stay there, on the ice, with the players.
Not Versus. They think we want to watch fans who are watching the handshakes. WTB!?
When it was 3-1, I said that I always thought Philly looked like a different team when Simon Gagne was in the lineup. I also said it was too late. Right. And Wrong.
And how about the Bruins, once again (see: 1979) getting bounced from the playoffs on a too-many-men penalty. The last coach to have such a major mess-up? Don Cherry.
Here's the schedule for the Conference finals:
Eastern Conference Final
Game 1: Sunday, May 16 at Philadelphia, 7 p.m. VERSUS.
Game 2: Tuesday, May 18 at Philadelphia, 7 p.m. VERSUS.

Vergne claims he'd be 'no worse' than Webber
This topic contains 20 replies, has 18 voices, and was last updated by DavidS 5 years, 8 months ago.
21st November 2011, 13:17 at 1:17 pmParticipant
Just found an interesting quote from Jean-Eric Vergne in a column he wrote for Le Nouvle Observateur.
He was talking about his success at the young drivers test.
"I know that the top teams are cautious of young drivers; the only one that dared to go with a young guy recently was Hamilton, and it worked. We have had a similar preparation. I had three days of testing and physically had no problems. So I think if you were to put me in a Red Bull, I would do no worse than Webber. That's my impression anyway after the test."
Now Webber hasn't had the best of seasons but that's big talk from Vergne. The testing rules were different right before Hamilton came through and he pounded out quite a few laps before his debut.
With Red Bull I always wonder whether he made that comment all on his own or if that's Helmut Marko stirring up trouble from behind the scenes.
21st November 2011, 13:25 at 1:25 pmParticipant
What do you expect him to say? "Sure, I'd love to race in Formula 1, but I don't think I'm very good at it"?
21st November 2011, 13:41 at 1:41 pmParticipant
I find it surprising he worded it that way. It kind of seems like insulting Webber's ability to drive and think it would be more polite to say he is "as good as Webber."
21st November 2011, 13:46 at 1:46 pmParticipant
Now I really want Webber to perform better than ever in 2012, at least these kids (including Alguersuari "I am a champions material") will learn to check high hoarse voice of their.
And these kind of statements does not exudes confidence, just plain desperation.
21st November 2011, 14:03 at 2:03 pmParticipant
@vickyy There's nothing wrong with young drivers expressing their confidence in their ability. Vergne has his opinion and has a right to express that opinion. Webber has had no problem saying what he thinks of other driver's abilities in the past, so I don't see any problem in Vergne implying what he thinks of Webber's ability.
21st November 2011, 14:15 at 2:15 pmParticipant
@slr see, as dpod suggested the careful usage of words would have changed the tone of his statement completely. May be I am taking "no worse than" phrase quite seriously, but still it sounds disdainful to Webber.
22nd November 2011, 0:52 at 12:52 amParticipant
I agree, that is very rude to Webber, and if you have read my post I´m not exactly a fan. Is just thats I highly dislike this kids that are saying things with out having anything to support their comments. Beside there are better ways to write this things…
22nd November 2011, 2:32 at 2:32 amParticipant
He should get a chance to drive somewhere in 2012,may be HRT not a bad place to start with. Alongside Pedro which will help him learn many things as well.
22nd November 2011, 2:43 at 2:43 am
@prisoner-monkeys – How about something more like "I'm really thrilled with my performance during testing, and I think I would do a great job if I had a race seat" instead of "Well, I certainly wouldn't be any worse than THIS guy"? Both are alternatives to "I don't think I'm very good at it" — but one indicates confidence, whereas the other indicates massive pomposity.
22nd November 2011, 2:58 at 2:58 amParticipant
Well, it might sound pompous, but at least it would give Vergne some personality. Otherwise, it's all interchangeable, watered-down, politically-correct, I-don't-want-to-step=on-somebody's-toes guff.
22nd November 2011, 3:06 at 3:06 am
Im sure he didnt meant that, if he did im very dissapointed not very polite and to be honest he cant praise himself too much what he did in Catalunya to Robert Wickens was ridiculous and childish thankfully he lost the title.
22nd November 2011, 5:41 at 5:41 amParticipant
There is confidence and there is naïve arrogance. Maybe something got lost in translation, but he needs to remember that he is no more than a promising kid with only a handful of days experience in an F1 car, whereas Webber is a proven race winner with a decade of F1 experience. His time will no doubt come, but comments like this will do him no favours.
22nd November 2011, 5:47 at 5:47 amParticipant
he should have said i'd be able to match Vettel that would have been more ambitious…
22nd November 2011, 6:48 at 6:48 am
He'd have to try pretty hard to be worse. Webber has been abysmal this year, among the bottom five drivers in my opinion.
22nd November 2011, 8:23 at 8:23 amParticipant
I find that as a pretty arrogant statement.
No doubt a racing driver needs to be confident in his ability and believe that he is the new Schumacher, but if they really need to say it out loud, for the love of god, be careful.
If he said that he was ready to take the fight to Mark Webber or he thought that he was as GOOD as him.
Not that I think Webber has done very well this year, but Webber is a grand prix winner, pole sitter, with years and years of F1 experience and added to that one of the most respected drivers in the F1 paddock (at least they said that in 2010…).
Compared to Webber, Vergne is just a kid that has been given a few days to pretend to be one of the big guys.
Not that Vergne can't be as fast as Webber. It might be possible, but RB has Torro Rosso for testing out new talent. Even Vettel had to go through BMW and one and a half year at Torro Rosso before he was let into RB, which at the time still had not won a single race, when he had in the sister car.
It would be foolish of Vergne to think that we would be let straight into a team which within the last 2 years as won 4 titles, based on three days of testing.

Porch Cabin
Plan ID Number: DM-001
Designed by: Dale Mulfinger, FAIA

Square FootageTotal living area: 1,879
Main Level:1,444
Upper Level:435
Footprint: 44' 0" W x 38' 0" D
RoomsBedrooms: 3
Bathrooms: 2.0

AttributesLevels: 2
House Height: 23' 6"
Ceiling Heights:
Main level 10' 0" Vaulted Ceilings in the:
- Mudroom
- Garret
- Central Fireplace
- Upper Fireplace
- Screened Porch
- Rustic Feel
The Porch Cabin was inspired by cabins built in the early 1900's, and it features a screened porch that wraps around three sides of the house. It is reminiscent of the old–fashioned porch cabins that let weekenders visiting from the city sit outside and enjoy the fresh country air, even if it rained all weekend long. The Porch Cabin has a central fireplace that draws guests into the living room during the coolest weather, but the porch is where visitors spend most of their time, whether it's napping or watching the kids play outside.
Coming off the front porch, you enter a mudroom where there's room to sit on a bench and remove your shoes and coats. One door opens to a walk–in pantry, while another opens to the kitchen area. An opening between the pantry and the kitchen makes it possible to pass items straight through to a kitchen counter. The kitchen features a ceiling that rises from 8' to 12', a large center island, and four windows above the sink and oven for natural light and views.
Next to the kitchen is the dining area. It also features a sloped ceiling, and three large operable windows provide side views. A large opening handsomely framed in glass opens to the living room, while double doors open to the screened porch. The living room looks and feels rustic, with exposed wood beams in the ceiling and a central stone–veneered fireplace. The ceiling in this room is set at a lofty 10'. Its three outer walls are lined with windows and doors that look out to and open into the screened porch. The wrap–around screened porch is the largest space in the house, providing plenty of room for social gatherings.
To the right of the mudroom is a hallway that leads to two bedrooms (the original homeowners used the smaller one as a bunk room), a laundry closet, and a full bath. There is also a door in the mudroom that goes directly to this bathroom for easy access.
Stairs located behind the fireplace lead to a "garret" on the upper level. The original homeowners used this unique space as their master bedroom. The ceiling has a 3–foot–wide flat center section running front to back that's set at 10', sloping down to 7' along the dormer, and 5'6" on the opposite wall. A built–in bench sits below 5 windows facing to the side, and 3 other windows provide views to the front. A full bath is located on this level as well.
