A BMW-driving lawyer in a "fancy suit" was confronted by a man wielding a baseball bat after illegally parking in a disabled car park.
The fracas ended in a Brisbane court with Jordan Scott James Trottemant pleading guilty this week to going armed in public to cause fear.
The court was told the carpark drama began in the IGA store on Brunswick St, New Farm, last October when the unnamed BMW driver pulled into a disabled car park.
Trottemant, who was parked in the neighbouring spot, took "umbrage" telling the driver to move his car and calling him a "douchebag".
"Out jumps a six-foot-three, extremely healthy looking male individual, to whom my client took umbrage and indicated he shouldn't be parking in a disabled spot," defence lawyer Jim Coburn told the court.
The BMW-driver, who was a lawyer, responded by swearing at him, telling him to "f--- off".
Trottemant then grabbed a baseball bat from the boot of his car pointing it at the lawyer.
Police prosecutors said the man feared for his safety and had to circle the car to avoid the conflict before driving off.
In sentencing, Chief Magistrate Tim Carmody said Trottemant had taken it too far.
"Seeing someone in a fancy car or in a fancy suit disobeying rules that are meant to apply to all of us can get up our nose, but that doesn't give us the right to go and get a baseball bat,'' he said.
Mr Coburn said his client was having a bad day.
"My client had no intention of hitting him … (and) the vehicle was not damaged in any way," Mr Coburn said.
He explained the possession of the baseball bat was "nothing sinister" – Trottemant used it to hit balls for his dogs to retrieve.
In sentencing, Judge Carmody said he was prepared to treat the incident as provoked, rather than unprovoked, and was out of character.
Trottemant was convicted and fined $1000.

CO Detectors w/ PPM Displays and Battery Backup
Although all home CO detectors use an audible alarm signal as the primary indicator, some versions also offer a digital readout of the CO concentration, in parts per million.
Typically, they can display both the current reading and a peak reading from memory of the highest level measured over a period of time.
The digital models offer the advantage of being able to observe levels that are below the alarm threshold, learn about levels that may have occurred during an absence, and assess the degree of hazard if the alarm sounds.
They may also aid emergency responders in evaluating the level of past or ongoing exposure or danger.

Caster Semenya knew she had blown it by starting out too slowly in her first Olympic final. She knew her coach was going to criticize her. Based on her experience over the last three, difficult years, she also expected some unkind speculation about her performance in the 800 meters. But she cherished her silver medal all the same. Three years after being forced to undergo gender tests after winning the world title in a stunningly fast 1 minute, 55.45 seconds at age 18, Semenya can introduce herself as an Olympic medalist. Semenya was sidelined for nearly a year while track and field's governing body decided whether to allow her to compete. She was tested and eventually cleared to return to action in 2010, then was the runner-up at last year's world championships. She came to the London Games as a leading medal contender in the 800 and was even given the honor of carrying South Africa's flag into the opening ceremony. She slipped into last place at the start of the final and, ev...

Gators go to the White House
President Bush honored the national football champion Florida Gators at the White House this afternoon, recognizing both their athletic and academic achievements as well as their volunteer work.
He began his speech with one of his usual jokes about his younger brother, Jeb. ("So you might remember one of my family members held elected office in Florida. I hope he's found work.") And then he poked fun at himself. (You might remember, all the pre-game polls said you couldn't win. So much for polls.")
Hundreds of people attended the outdoor ceremony including several members of Congress (Sen. Bill Nelson, accompanied by his son, Billy, and Reps. Gus Bilirakis, Adam Putnam, among others), UF President Bernie Machen and Carolyn Roberts, chairman of the Board of Governors. The team gave the President a number 43 jersey and a football.

Why didn't they just make Jaime Sommers British to begin with? Was it out of concern that audiences wouldn't take to a foreigner fighting for truth, justice, and the American way of life? (Haven't they ever seen a Bond film?) Think of all the sarcastic commentary it would open the door for on America's rampaging ego or its tendency to throw money at a problem. So many of the issues I have with the show's tone and Jaime's character in general could have been solved by allowing Michelle Ryan to use her natural, dry British wit to cast withering aspersions on some of the more ridiculous elements, which as we well know are about 90% of the story. Not to mention Ryan would have seemed as cool and confident in every episode as she was tonight–and no one would ever again have cause to snicker at her iffy Yankee drawl. It could have been a much different, much more entertaining show.
That said, tonight's episode was a dramatic shift from what we've seen up until now, and not only because Ryan spent most of the show sounding like Bionic Spice. The complete, blessed absence of Sarah Corvus and brooding Jae allowed this show to breathe and finally have a little fun with its ridiculous premise, and to them I say good riddance. While I initially came to this show expecting a dark, serious reimagining similar to Battlestar Galactica, we all know how poorly that's turned out. So I say why not abandon those pretensions to heavy drama altogether? In comparison to the episodes that preceded it, "The Education Of Jaime Sommers" positively crackled with energy. Sure, having a standalone episode that seemed to exist in its own vacuum outside the main storyline may have been a little jarring (so did that whole dust-up with Antonio last week never happen? Or did they just, like, shake hands and call it even?) but when the overarching plot is as ponderous as Bionic Woman's, I'm all for abandoning it.
Those who have compared this show to Alias probably had their opinions reinforced by "The Education Of Jaime Sommers", what with the whole "Jaime poses as a (blank) to infiltrate (blank)" premise, and while I was never really that into Alias (due primarily to my strong aversion to Jennifer Garner), it seems to me like that may be the most positive direction this show can take. Judging by the preview for the next episode, now that Jaime has met a new romantic foil–the Dane Cook-type who also turned out to be a secret agent–and it appears they'll be crossing paths again, it looks like Bionic Woman is threatening to turn into a frothy Mr. And Mrs. Smith-style spy/comedy hybrid. Which is something else I've never seen, but I have a feeling it will be a lot easier to take than the oppressively somber tones and faux-deep philosophizing of the show until now. Although I guess if it goes too far in that direction, they may as well just combine it with Chuck, right? (And if they do that, maybe I can just foist this job off on Steve Hyden and go watch something I genuinely like.)
Lightening the tone certainly makes all the bullshit a lot easier to take, and the once-maddening leaps of logic become part of the "fun"–like having Jaime suddenly shacking up in the dorms for no reason, trading quips with a stock quirky Asian girl who's always scarfing down junk food ("I feel like Felicity!"). Or the fact that she never once told Becca where she was going or bothered to check in with her. Or the idea that Al Qaeda has started surgically implanting neural transmitters in captured American soldiers. Or the fact that Agent Dane Cook somehow knew that Jaime told the professor that she was there to clean the monkey cages, or that he didn't even question her when she exclaimed, "This is like my college fantasy!" despite the fact that she supposedly transferred in from Oxford. Or this week's team of nameless baddies who just happen to show up five minutes before the show ends so Jaime can bionically kick a little ass right out in public. Again. Stuff like that goes down a lot smoother when it's obvious that the show isn't asking us to take it all so damn seriously, something Bionic Woman has struggled with since its pilot. Of course, it could also make the show somewhat (more) disposable, but I'm all for this taking a walk on the lighter side. It's still not too late for reinvention, Bionic Woman. I'm willing to forget I ever heard the names Anthony Anthros and Sarah Corvus if you are.
Grade: B-
Stray observations:
-- Did Antonio's subplot with the generic Islamic terrorist make any sense? Maybe it's just the hangover, but I didn't catch the connection between the guy he was following and the profiteering student that Jaime and Agent Dane Cook captured. And was Antonio trying to personally negotiate the end of the Iraq war in that apartment with his whole "Too many people have died" speech? Is a little Isaiah Washington gravitas all it takes to stop the jihad?
-- "Plan B is you're bionic. Figure it out."
-- Jaime certainly has moved on from Will's death pretty fast. Did they also give her a robotic heart?
-- The wisecracking tech guy works best in small doses, but I have to say I did enjoy his line about Jaime being "Manchurian Candidated." That was a relatively smart joke for such a stupid show.
-- I can't tell you how excited I am that we're getting a break next week.

Carmelo Anthony has informed people close to him that he will not sign an extension with the Nets, according to sources.
Anthony has had a longstanding preference to play for the Knicks.
If the Knicks and Nuggets are unable to complete a trade, Anthony must still weigh his options of whether to risk not signing an extension with the looming uncertainty of the NBA's next collective bargaining agreement.

The Neoteric Listener and WyWires' Silver Speaker
"Ok, two meters each, terminated, that'll be $200."
"What? For speaker wire? Are you kidding me?!"
That's pretty much how my first experience with "high-end" audio cables went down. I was getting a hell of deal and didn't know it, but it seemed steep at the time. Still, after shelling out three thousand dollars for my new system (big, big money for me back then), I wasn't going to punk out now on speaker cables. Ok, so they did cost third of the price I paid for the Acoustic Energy standmounts, but these cables were flat as a ribbon and shiny as a copper penny dipped in Tarn-X. My Nordost SuperFlatline speaker cables became the finishing touch of this burgeoning audio adventure.
But had the smooth talking, chain-smoking salesman clowned me? I'd been reading the internet boards, and those dudes said I could dip kite string in mercury and, other than the toxic poisoning, it would sound better than any boutique speaker cable around. What kind of hobby robs you of two hundred bucks for something you can make yourself for $4.98?! Desperate to know if I was a champ or a chump, I hurried to make a quick comparison between the Nordost cables and the budget bulk speaker wire I'd bought to run under the house to the back room speakers. Relief! The SuperFlatlines super stomped those budget cables, and suddenly, in the context of the entire system, it became obvious that buying anything less would really make me Audio's fool. Since then, I've learned that cables make a pretty big difference in sound quality, to my ears, anyway, although I do studiously avoid the loogie fights of cable directionality, Radio Shack wonder wire, or the morality of ten grand per meter. Instead, I keep my ears open for products that enhance my system at a price that I can reasonably afford, which is just what happened during my audition of a pair of WyWires Silver speaker cables.
Bob Levi's excellent review of WyWires interconnects, Michael Wechsberg's fine phono cables write up, and Dave Clark's bestowal of a 2011 Brutus Award for the LITESPD USB cable illustrates the critical acceptance being accorded to WyWires' products. The effusive praise by audio stalwarts in various show reports further heralds the growing fame of this innovative new company. By now, you're probably aware that WyWires utilizes a precise consultation to help ensure that cables match the particular needs of the system and customer preferences. Ever impatient, though, I did exactly none of that and just asked them to ship out a pair of the Silver ones. Due to the backlog of review products and the patience of WyWires founder, Alex Sventitsky, I've been pleased to audition the Silver cables with a variety of products over a long trial period. The cables were alternately paired in the main system with Nola Contender speakers, various integrated amps (Ayon Orion II, Peachtree Audio iNova, and Arcam A-80), and a number of sources, including two CD players (Arcam CD82 and Block CD-100) and the CEntrance PX and Audioengine D2 DACs recently reviewed. I also used the Silver cables when reviewing the complete CEntrance Audiophile Desktop system, which proved especially instructive, as I'll discuss later.
Cable technology is fascinating, in part because I rarely know what the hell they're talking about, but it's just so much fun trying to keep up with those who do. I always end up imagining a flood of electrons in geometric patterns rushing along the wire like water down a pipe, with all the design particulars becoming variations on that theme, so engineers have a hard time with me. Even so, Mr. Sventitsky was kind enough to offer some insight into his design principles, stating, "Like all WyWires products, the speaker cables are constructed using a proprietary Litz formula. Litz is a type of cable that is made up of a large number of thin strands of wire. Each strand is insulated using a material called Nyleze, developed by Dupont. These many individually insulated strands are bundled together and twisted into a specific configuration and then wrapped in two layers of organic, unbleached cotton. Two cotton wrapped Litz bundles are inserted into two larger diameter PTFE Teflon tubes and twisted again to form a twisted pair cable. This type of construction utilizing cotton and air enables Wywires to achieve a very low capacitance of only 8.1 pico Farads per foot. Overall gauge of the Wywires speaker cable is 12.5 AWG per conductor. This type of construction can only be done by hand. Average build time for a pair of speaker cables is approximately five hours. The company will pre-cook the cables upon customer request at no additional charge using the audiodharma Cable Cooker." Ok, I think I get it, but now I see electrons breezily flying down Nyleze insulated wire in an airy cotton lined pipe. On the plus side, "Picofarad" is destined to be whipped out for some Scrabble game in the future, but what does all of this have to do with Clean the House with MOG Fridays? Lambchop and Cowboys Saturday mornings? Monday Night with Muddy? Fortunately, all that science I don't understand but WyWires does means that all my music playmates are more real than ever.
Compared with the Nordost SuperFlatlines and the Kubala-Sosna Imagination speaker cables that I typically use, the WyWires Silver bests the Nordost in transient speed and dynamic extension and offers a more even tonal balance than the Imaginations. Of course, the WyWires cost more than the other two, so it should be expected to improve in performance. With cables, however, a higher price may give you a different sound, but not necessarily one that you'll like better or one that suits your purpose. We've all heard the admonition not to use cables as a tone control to alleviate the weaknesses of the system. Bollocks! Buy a product to please yourself, and nobody else. The frequent warnings against tinkering so much that you lose the best part of the original sound only applies to those who sell off items as soon as they buy new ones, so shape all you want and put it back if the sound degrades, I say. The more I consider the adjective "neutral" (or its close kin, "natural"), the more I question the value of either term as a descriptor, because it always begs the questions "Neutral according to whom and in which system?" The WyWires Silver cables deliver a "natural" sound, because to me, when compared with the other cables used in my system, there is no apparent boost across the frequency range, nor is there any attention-getting accentuation of resolution, soundstage, and timbre.
This is a huge advantage when listening to the Nola Contenders in my room because they don't need any help in the midrange department, especially when matched with the Ayon Orion II tube integrated amp. Inserting the WyWires in this configuration produces a wide open, detailed, and perfectly thrilling sound that can't be matched by the other cables on hand. Cables, like anything else in audio, are a mixed bag of preferences, typically voiced to achieve what the designer feels is best sonically, especially if it also happens to appeal to a large consumer base. Finding the "voice" of the Silver cables, however, proves a difficult task, as there doesn't seem to be any detectible characteristic other than everything sounds confidently clearer, deeper, and better. Like most products that eschew flash for substance, the effect is subtle but eminently perceptible. The Silver cables sound fast paced and lively, but they don't have that hyperactive super-speed that some people seem to desire.
Moreover, these cables won't deliver that instant punch up of voices and piano tones on their own accord, although it may seem so if your current cables mask those characteristics. The WyWires Silver cables open the windows of my system without rearranging the furniture, which works for me. The WyWires draws sweet music out of the Arcam integrated, and this is somewhat of a surprise, as that amp doesn't always show well with cables this revealing and responsive. This bodes well for those who might question whether or not $1200 is too much for a modest system. No matter which amp is used, however, the image and depth of instruments in the listening field seems more focused with the WyWires cables than with either the Nordost or Kubala-Sosnas. The only time I don't prefer the Silver cables is when they are inserted in the CEntrance Audiophile desktop system. There, the Kubala-Sosnas added a bit of midrange warmth and bottom end that, though maybe not exactly accurate, is what I prefer. All this is meant to underscore the value for potential customer to avail themselves of the opportunity to discuss listening preferences with WyWires prior to purchase
The WyWires Silver loudspeaker cables improve the sound of my system in all meaningful areas at a fair price. They offer excellent performance and solid build quality, and the ability to shape them to suit a customer's needs is an added bonus that makes them ridiculously easy to recommend.

The tactical utilization of cognitive biases in negotiations
The present paper conceptualizes the domain of psychological influence in negotiations and thereby proposes seven negotiations tactics which utilize the findings of cognitive bias research. After reviewing existing literature on cognitive biases in negotiations, the paper argues that their persuasive utilization in negotiations has not been discussed extensively so far. Inspired by the research findings on anchoring in negotiations, the paper develops tactics which alter information sets of counterparties in such a way that their decision making becomes biased, but leave their incentive structures untouched. The theoretical foundations of these value-claiming tactics are accompanied by short examples, where bargainers play on the cognitive biases of their counterparties to sell proposals and persuade reluctant counterparties. The authors thus explain the effectiveness of widely used negotiation tactics and allow a greater understanding of negotiators' decision making processes and provide recommendations for practitioners.

ESRB Descriptors: Blood and Gore, Drug Reference, Intense Violence, Strong Language, ***ual Themes
25 to Life is an overly simple third-person shooter that has a story-driven single-player mode and a team-based multiplayer mode. The single-player starts you out in the role of Freeze, a gangster who's trying to get out of the game and escape with his wife and son. You're asked to do "one last job," which, of course, goes spectacularly wrong and messes everything up. You'll also play as a cop surrounded by dirty cops and as a gang leader who gets banished to Mexico only to end up taking over the organized-crime scene there by force. The story is all over the place, and since the playable characters are to a certain extent connected, you're never really sure if you're playing as a good guy or a bad guy. But the narrative is so lame that you probably won't care.

The Yamaha YHT-S400BL ($599.99) soundbar speaker system offers amplified stereo sound for an HDTV in a small living room or den. The YHT-S400BL is a three-channel, stereo soundbar with a companion wireless subwoofer. The main speaker measures a slim 2.0 by 31.5 by 2.8 inches (HWD), while the subwoofer measures 17.1 by 6.0 by 14.3 inches (HWD). The total system weighs 22.4 pounds.
Like all soundbars, the YHT-S400BL won't deliver audiophile-quality performance, as it lacks the stereo separation, higher-quality drivers, and larger cabinets necessary for proper imaging and resolution. That said, better soundbars do a convincing job of making audio sound bigger and bolder, with more bass rumble, than you'd get from built-in TV speakers—much like how an iPod speaker dock works, except for home theater sound instead of just music. The YHT-S400BL goes one better, as it also features stereo Bluetooth capability, which lets you stream audio wirelessly from a smartphone or tablet.
We haven't tested the YHT-S400BL. We did test the less expensive Vizio VHT510 Surround Sound Home Theater With Wireless Subwoofer ($389.99), which offers a more traditional surround sound experience thanks to its two wireless rear speakers. It performed well in our tests, with surprisingly powerful bass response. With the Yamaha YHT-S400BL, we'd expect clearer dialog that anchors better to each person's location on screen, thanks to the YST-S400BL's extra center channel driver.

COLUMBUS Downtown Ohio Inc. announced Cambridge and six other Ohio communities as the newest additions to the Ohio Main Street Program.
The ceremony was Thursday in Columbus at the Statehouse.
Cambridge joins 23 other Ohio communities already in the Main Street program and will be receiving extensive technical assistance from Downtown Ohio Inc. commencing January 2004.
The ceremony was attended by 19 of the 22 members of the Cambridge Main Street Initiative Board.
Upon receiving the plaque designating Cambridge a Main Street Community, Mayor Sam Salupo said, We are honored, proud and excited to be part of the Main Street program. Were going to prove to everyone that selecting Cambridge was a good choice.
Representatives from Bellefontaine, Elyria, Harrison, Troy, Van Wert and Wooster were also present to receive their designations.
The Ohio Main Street Community designation is awarded to communities to assist in the economic and physical revitalization of their downtown by providing education and training to implement the Main Street four-point approach: Organization, design, promotion and economic restructuring. The program is a three-year commitment to retain the services of Downtown Ohio Inc. for training and technical services for a fee of $2,000 annually.
Main Street designations are awarded through a competitive application process. The new Main Street communities will receive assistance in volunteer and program manager training, marketing and promotion, business recruitment, market analysis, design, historic preservation and fund-raising. Ohio Main Street will also conduct on-site visits to help each community develop its work program and plan for success.
The 300-page application submitted by Cambridge contained photographs of the entire historical district, a three-year budget, committee by-laws, organizational chart, assets and liabilities, maps, buildings on the national register, promotional brochures, a mission statement, attractions, events, condition of buildings, local preservation ordinances, and participants in the process.
There were 22 applications submitted from communities across Ohio.
We now have an extended family of other Main Street communities to rely on for resources and networking. The 19 people that came here today are the reason our application was selected. It was a lot of hard work ... Im excited about starting the new year as a Main Street Community, said Jonett Haberfield, president of the Cambridge Main Street Program.
The Ohio Main Street Program, administered by Downtown Ohio Inc., is modeled after the National Trust Main Street Centers comprehensive approach to downtown revitalization. Benefits of this program include renewed vitality of the downtown area along with an enhanced economy. The Main Street program has been instituted in 1,800 communities in 43 states.

Even when Kyle Meyer left the Midwest, the Midwest never left him.
Meyer has lived more than half his life in suburban Atlanta, but that won't be true a few years from now, provided he fulfills his Iowa men's basketball career.
His parents both grew up outside Fort Wayne, Ind., and raised Kyle as an Indiana Pacers and Hoosiers fan until Meyer's dad, Shelby, was transferred to the Southeast when Kyle was in third grade.
Meyer's sense of loyalty to Big Ten country never left the Hawkeyes' incoming 6-foot-10, 220-pound freshman forward. One of the first schools to contact Meyer was Indiana, and Meyer attended some elite Hoosiers camps. But interest tailed off. Much like fellow Iowa forward Aaron White, Meyer received only one firm scholarship offer from a power-conference program, and he took it, picking the Hawkeyes over an East Carolina offer. Clemson was also showing heavy interest.
"When he decides to do something, his bond means 100 percent," said Horace Neysmith, Meyer's AAU coach with the Atlanta Celtics.
When Fran McCaffery and his staff tapped into Meyer's comfort level, the 800-mile driving distance from Alpharetta, Ga., to Iowa City failed to deter this class' first Hawkeyes recruit. He decided against waiting out the summer after his junior year, a peak recruitment period, and trusted the Iowa coaches.
"He's had a great experience with those guys from Day 1," Shelby Meyer said. "We didn't get the sense that they were playing games like some other folks."
This isn't the first time as a teenager Meyer displayed his allegiance. When school districts were rezoned before his sophomore year, his new home school was Chattahoochee, but he elected to stick with Northview, favoring his teammates and coach Steven Bombard.
He's not the first Northview grad to play in the Big Ten. Former Minnesota big man Ralph Sampson III was an alum, but Meyer has put the Hawkeye State on the map among his friends of the past 10 years.
"If you say Iowa in Atlanta, people will think of me now. No one's ever heard much of it, never crossed their mind," Meyer said. "Now, if you say my friend's going to Iowa, they say, 'Oh, Kyle Meyer.' It's kind of cool to have that affiliation."
Now that he's here, the competition for minutes in the post is fiercer than the summer humidity in either the Midwest or Southeast. Meyer struggled in the first few Prime Time League summer games, and switched teams to fill in for injured Augustana grad Dain Swetalla, which yielded more court time.
"He's got to get used to the speed of the game and get used to the fact he's not the tallest player on the floor," Neysmith said. "There are other kids as big and as strong as he is. He's a very intelligent kid, and I think he will adjust."

A Flatbush man is taking another shot at realizing his vision of a Brooklyn teeming with trolleys once again.
Bob Diamond, a rail enthusiast who drove his own trolley along the Red Hook waterfront in the 1990s only to see his dreams dashed after the city cut off funding for a larger network of rails, has now proposed a new route that would, he says, bring investment and tourism from Downtown to Red Hook.
"Trolleys attract businesses and tourists, and the time to strike is now," said Diamond, saying that there is cash for "green" transport systems from various economic stimulus streams.
The route would begin at Fulton and Adams streets, travel down Boerum Place and turn onto Atlantic Avenue towards Columbia Street. Upon reaching the Battery Tunnel on Columbia Street, the train would turn down Van Brunt Street and return on Richards Street.
Diamond said that his trolley would be a major step towards reconnecting Red Hook with the rest of Brooklyn.
"The trolley would bring people to the burgeoning commercial strip on Van Brunt Street, while also hitting the residential areas on Richards Street [on its way back Downtown]," said Diamond.
Ever the dreamer, Diamond even envisions the trolley using the long-abandoned Atlantic Avenue tunnel as it travels from Court Street to Hicks Street.
Some locals along the route hailed the idea.
"Let's do it! It will be great for business and for people down here," said Tommy Perez. "It would lift up the neighborhood!"
The trolley would run on electricity along rails laid at about $13 million a mile, if the project is modeled after one in Portland, Oregon.
Other locals expressed concern that the trolley — which would occupy at least one lane of traffic — could cause more congestion on the already clogged roads around Downtown.
"It might be good, if it didn't slow traffic down — it's too congested here already," said Marie Testaverde, who was walking her dog on Columbia Street. "We have enough [tourists] visiting because of Brooklyn Bridge Park."
But before you buy a round-trip ticket on Diamond's trolley, understand that this vision is not exactly on the fast track to success. Indeed, this is only the latest in a long line of trolley-related proposals made by Diamond since at least the 1990s.
Still, there is a glimmer of hope, as Mayor Bloomberg endorsed streetcars in Red Hook last year, and a spokesman for the Department of Transportation said the agency is about to commence a study assessing the possibility of the project — and even reached out to Diamond for a more detailed Red Hook-Downtown trolley proposal after inquiries from The Brooklyn Paper.
The Obama administration has also allocated $8 billion in federal stimulus money to rail projects — over $150 million of which is going to New York State — and Gov. Paterson unveiled his own statewide rail improvement plan in 2009.
But Diamond's dream has long been hampered by accusations that he is so driven and single-minded that he is difficult to work with. Indeed, the failure of Diamond's last attempt at a trolley system was due in part to infighting among members of his group of volunteers that had committed to the project.
But that was six years ago, and Diamond — older and undoubtedly wiser, given the countless hours he spends doing research — says that the economic benefits of a trolley in Red Hook are just one reason to bring "the dodgers" into the new millennium.
"There is a tremendous environmental benefit as well," Diamond said.
Alas, the original Dodgers will remain in Los Angeles.

Former Labor leader
Mr Rudd, who is overseas on holiday, is one of three absent members of the 86-member caucus who have cast postal votes for Thursday's caucus ballot between former deputy prime minister
With Mr Shorten having the overwhelming backing of his Right faction and Mr Albanese having the majority of his Left faction behind him, factional number-crunchers predicted on Wednesday that Mr Shorten would win the caucus ballot by 51 votes to 35 votes, or 59 per cent to 41 per cent.
Consequently, if Mr Albanese is to prevail, he needs to win 60 per cent or more of the separate postal ballot of the Labor Party membership. Each ballot contributes equally to the overall result.
When the process was begun a month ago, ALP headquarters sent out 43,000 ballot papers to members and, as of Wednesday's mail, 25,000 completed papers had been returned. The deadline for the member ballots is close of business Friday.
The caucus will vote at 4 pm on Thursday. Their votes will not be counted so as not to influence any members yet to vote. Caucus will reconvene at 2 pm Sunday in Canberra where the results of each ballot and the overall winner will be announced.
Then, caucus will gather again on Monday under the new leader to select other party positions including the deputy leader, the Senate leadership, and members of the frontbench.
Thursday's caucus vote is supposed to be a secret ballot but sources have told The Australian Financial Review the Right faction will engage in so-called "show-and-tell'' in which Right-aligned MPs show each other how they voted to ensure maximum compliance.
The Left will not do this.
The Right has 48 members of caucus but there is some leakage away from Mr Shorten with former minister
Mr Shorten has always been expected to win the caucus ballot while Mr Albanese began as overall favourite because he was deemed to have even greater support among regular members. While the membership ballot is impossible to predict, MPs say that anecdotally, they have detected a shift towards Mr Shorten as the campaign has rolled on, pointing to a tight contest.
If Mr Shorten wins, Sydney MP
Senator Collins became deputy Senate leader after Senator Conroy quit. If Mr Albanese wins the leadership, then the Right will have a stronger claim to the Senate leadership, relegating Senator Wong to deputy and leaving senators Conroy and Collins to slug it out for the Senate leadership.

text: I have been tasked with setting up an xserve to use on our campus for the couple dozen Macs. I'm currently setting up user preferences. I'm wanting to have MS: Office and iLife on the Dock. What I've done on the local 10.5 machines (set up before having the xserve) Made a folder, and placed aliases for the office programs, pulled the folder to the doc and it created a stack of the office programs. this worked well, didn't take up a ton of room, gave the students access to the programs. I can't seem to get that to work using dock preferences on open directory user accounts. I can add the aliases, or a link to the folder, but not a stack. any ideas?

Revolutionary road
The Lowland | Jhumpa Lahiri
Jhumpa Lahiri's second novel, The Lowland (shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize 2013) gets off to a sluggish start. We are in Calcutta (now Kolkata), in the 1950s, as the book opens, with brothers Subhash and Udayan Mitra, who are growing up in their inveterately Bengali middle-class parental home in Tollygunge. The boys are intrigued by the goings-on in the posh Tolly Club, which lies just beyond the eponymous lowland, source of a life-changing tragedy later in the story, near their house and out of bounds to most of humanity. Led by Udayan, the younger but more daring of the two, the brothers sneak into the club's golf course to steal discarded balls, until a policeman catches them one day and ticks them off.
Lahiri's attention to detail is meticulous, her pace unhurried, often coming across as halting and hesitant, in the first 30-odd pages. Reading her work is like learning to ride a bike: you wobble a little in the beginning, maybe take a fall or two, before finding your rhythm and learning to relax in the cadence of her prose.
The characters in The Lowland, as in much of Lahiri's previous work, are etched exquisitely—intimately realized in their physical details as well as in their private geographies. And yet, in spite of the ostensible poise of her style, there is a deeply unsettling quality to Lahiri's storytelling, a tense self-restraint that sometimes lets its guard down and yields unexpected turns in the plot, offering us glimmerings into personalities we had written off as unremarkable.
From the sedate Calcutta of the 1950s, we move into the turbulent 1960s and 1970s, when the Naxalite movement unleashed violence and mayhem in the city. Hundreds of men and women, suspected of sedition, were rounded up, tortured, killed, or forced to disappear, a version of which continues to happen in modern India, maybe more discreetly.
In the interstices of the revolutionary uprising, between Che Guevara's execution and the formation of the Communist Party of India (Marxist-Leninist), the selfsame lives of the Mitras are also transformed by a sordid sleight of hand. In Lahiri's richly-atmospheric revisiting of history, revolution does not as much change the fate of a people as it does the destiny of a family: "The only thing (Udayan) had altered was what their family had been," we are bitterly informed.
With life in Calcutta being violent and volatile, Subhash, the pragmatic elder son, decides to move to Rhode Island, in the US, for higher studies, while Udayan, driven by youthful idealism, decides to shun the beaten track. He joins the rebels, gets married to the girl he loves, and is dead by the age of 26 in a freak encounter with the police. Think of the siblings Elinor and Marianne in Sense and Sensibility, in a context that could not have been more apart from 19th-century England.
With just 15 months between them, Subhash and Udayan share a bond that extends, with a wrenching irony, to the woman, Gauri, they both get married to, and the child, Bela, they become fathers to. That these affinities and alliances are forged out of exigency, Lahiri never allows her characters, or her readers, to forget. It is this awareness, of being disinherited of a comfort that most people take for granted—the fact of their origins—that keeps us on the edge all along The Lowland.
As Subhash and Gauri blunder through their marriage and Bela grows into a young woman, and eventually becomes a mother herself, without any knowledge of her real parentage, we feel besieged by the emotional see-saw of Lahiri's narrative. We are oppressed not so much by the enormity of the knowledge, or even by the possibility of its disclosure, as by the enactment of it in the daily lives of the people who dwell in its shadow. They were "a family of solitaries", Subhash acknowledges the reality of his life with Gauri and Bela at one point. "They had collided and dispersed."
Subhash's description is also apposite for much of the dramatis personae who have appeared in Lahiri's fiction so far. From the couples locked in unhappy marriages in Interpreter of Maladies to Gogol in The Namesake to Hema and Kaushik in Unaccustomed Earth, her most memorable characters are inherently skittish, not simply because they are uprooted from their familiar surroundings, but rather because they have to fiercely struggle to hold on to a sense of the self.
In The Lowland, for instance, after Udayan's death, Gauri is unable to cry, especially in the presence of others, but there were "tears disconnected to feeling, that gathered and sometimes fell from the corners of her eyes in the morning, after sleep". Although less cerebral than Gauri, Subhash too refuses to let his defences down when his American lover, Holly, asks him what he misses most about Calcutta. "It's where I was made," he states blandly, admitting his tie to the place but also signalling his clinical detachment from it—rather than being a home to him, Calcutta is the place that drove him out into the world, in order to flee a life that he chose not to embrace, unlike Udayan who could be happy to know the world through just a shortwave radio.
One of Lahiri's finest achievements in The Lowland is to show the illusory nature of escape: that exile does not necessarily bring reprieve from the shackles of convention. Udayan does not have to go to America to have the life he wanted for himself, fraught as it may have been with danger, or to marry the girl of his heart. Running away to the ends of the earth cannot save Gauri from herself. Subhash cannot protect himself from having to tell Bela the truth about her real father. One thinks of C.P. Cavafy's ruthless lines in The City (in Daniel Mendelsohn's translation from the Greek): "You'll find no new places, you won't find other shores./The city will follow you." In Cavafy's poem, as in Lahiri's stories, the city is as much a real place as it is a metaphor for all that we cannot leave behind.
Like the tales of Raymond Carver, John Cheever, William Trevor or Mavis Gallant, Lahiri's stories are rooted in the world of circumstances but they also gesture towards something beyond—the "beyond" that was promised to us in the subtitle of her first collection, Interpreter of Maladies: Stories of Bengal, Boston and Beyond. Into this beyond—the wilderness of the human heart, that most irrational of spaces—we are taken, once again, in The Lowland.

Professor's Bingo game exposes fallacies in presidential debates
While the Presidential candidates were on TV waging a war of words, viewers all over the country joined Peter Bradley's students playing Debate Fallacy Bingo – a game the Philosophy professor invented to exercise his students' critical thinking skills.
"It's the only time in American culture when rhetoric is a sport," says Bradley, who introduced the game during the 2008 presidential debates, explaining that the debates are perfect opportunities for his students to look for and find classic fallacies in speech.
Each player has a card with 25 blocks (5 by 5) noting fallacies and a cheat sheet naming and defining about 60-some possible fallacies. As they watch and listen to Pres. Barack Obama and Gov. Mitt Romney or Vice President Joe Biden and Congressman Paul Ryan debate, participants mark off the fallacies they hear.
But the term "Bingo" may understate the game's difficulty. Identifying fallacies – which are not the same as untruths – isn't as simple as it seems, especially when they range from ad hominem (attacking the person, not the person's argument) to false analogy, euphemism to moving the goalposts, and include slippery slope, innuendo, non sequitur and genetic fallacy.
Try identifying the relatively common causal fallacy, post hoc ergo propter hoc. Here's a clue from Bradley's cheat sheet: It means "after this, therefore because of this" or, for example, "I took a sip of my drink and right afterward, the Red Sox scored a run. I'll take another sip to make them score again!"
While playing Debate Fallacy Bingo hasn't changed their minds about the presidential candidates, it has shown players Travis Compton and Doug McKenney that fallacies litter the statements the candidates make on stage. And the two Philosophy majors have become much better at identifying them quickly.
Still, their reason for playing is simple – it is downright fun, they say.
"It is a great exercise in critical thinking," says McKenney, a senior from Queenstown, Md., who is president of the Philosophy Club, sponsors of Bingo. "I've even learned a few new fallacies, such as 'red herring' and 'smokescreen' from playing Bingo."
The fallacy used most in the debates, McKenney and Compton agree, is irrelevance, with ad hominem and red herring close behind.
"Both Romney and Obama make irrelevant statements – responses that don't answer the question asked," says Compton from Bellmore, N.Y., who also has a minor in American Sign Language and Deaf Studies. "They have their talking points, and they swing the questions back to those points. If asked about education, they will tie it to the economy to get their points across."
While the game draws mostly Philosophy and Political Science majors, a number of Business and Economics majors and even Computer Science majors have joined the dozen or so students gathered to find fallacies in what the next leader of the free world is saying. Sometimes students who aren't as familiar with the classic fallacies on Bradley's cheat sheet will push the card aside, sit back and listen as the debate continues and various students in the room shout out the fallacies they've detected.
This time around, Bradley posted 100 unique Bingo cards and the cheat sheet online for anyone to use. During the debates, he tweeted fallacies using #fallacybingo. In South Carolina and Colorado, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania, and other states in between, debate viewers have downloaded a card and the cheat sheet. They too tweeted the fallacies they found.
Bradley followed their tweets while tweeting the fallacies he heard. Debate Fallacy Bingo went viral.
With these players, neither candidate gets away with anything. Romney's fallacies are more often in the attack category, while Obama tends to use fallacies geared to demonstrate he can relate to voters, McKenney and Compton say.
But chances are, neither of the candidates has half the fun of the Bingo players.

IU To Perform On Music Show For First Time In Almost 4 Years
IU will be greeting her fans in a music show for the first time in four years!
According to IUs agency, Fave Entertainment, on April 18, IU will be appearing on the April 23 broadcast of SBSs Inkigayo to perform her comeback stage.
The last time IU appeared on a music program was back in 2013 with Red Shoes, which was included in her third studio album Modern Times. She did release more albums afterwards, but she did not appear on music shows for those promotions. So, it has been almost four years since she officially recorded a music show broadcast.

according to the realgm wiretap AJ got traded to the hawks for a second rounder.
Ford just reported it too. he said
They just made the first trade of the day sending Anthony Johnson to the Hawks for the Hawks 2007 second round pick. It's a BLOCKBUSTER folks. Hawks fans you can rest easy ... after passing on Chris Paul, Deron Williams, Rajon Rondo and Marcus Williams and overpaying Speedy Claxton ... the Hawks have finally solved their point guard woes.
well if this is true at least he'll get minutes. with speedy and lue there? he'll probably be starting..... at least he's well-rested
This is the darkest timeline.
Wow is that a sign of a good trade ? , When the other team trades away one and is looking to trade the other within the first season of trading for them ?
Don't tell me this will be the only move of the day
Why Not Us ?
Pacers are very quiet. Tins and who else to the Hawks for AJ and the return of our 1st rounder?
You know how hippos are made out to be sweet and silly, like big cows, but are actually extremely dangerous and can kill you with stunning brutality? The Pacers are the NBA's hippos....Matt Moore CBS Sports....
I hope Atlanta cleaned up their culture first.
This confirms to me the things I've seen/read/heard before suggesting trading AJ WAS part of cleaning up the team's chemistry. Not to mention he wasn't being too great for the Mavs, either (I'm still not talking bball).
somebody go to espn.com and get into chad ford's chat and ask him if the pacers have anything in the works, I never have much success with asking questions that get answered but maybe if enough of us do it we'll get some sort of insider info from chad.
If the Pacers were to somehow trade Tinsley to the Hawks while getting AJ in return, I can assure you there would be no problems with AJ and his affect on team chemistry.
Jackson and Tinsley would both be gone. Therefore, there would be no reason for chemistry problems.
wishful thinking beast
edit: I agree with shade
I'm thinking more from the standpoint of a PG who is actually able to guard more than his own shadow while also being able to hit a perimeter shot.
AJ fits that mold much better than Tinsley. As for penetration, I say rely on Marquis. As for passing, rely on MD and JO, with help from AJ every now and then.
Obviously AJ would be much more ideal as a backup than as a starter. But right here, right now, I'd willingly take him over Tinsley. We need defense at the point that badly.
I definitely would welcome AJ back, but of course I would only consider it a one year rental.
EDIT - to add to beast23's list of qualities, AJ is pretty much the only PG Rick Carlisle has ever trusted. HE was also the starting PG during our season-saving streaks both last year and the year before.

In 05/06, again we ran more motion with Peja and once again, AJ was running the point.

league GMs: Why dont most of us relize that to build a championship team you have to make deals and actively tweak your roster.
Chad Ford: (12:57 PM ET ) There's some truth to what you say. Look at the Pistons in 2004 when they made the bold move of getting Rasheed Wallace. Lots of us criticized it, but it put them over the top. The Heat went through a major overhaul in the summer of 2005 and win it all in 2006. I think that too many GMs are risk adverse. They play it safe with the status quo and tell everyone that they tried to make a deal but couldn't. To me the best GMs are the ones that roll the dice. If I owned a team, I'd want a GM who was bold enough to take a chance at greatness instead of milling around at just about .500 every year. If you look at the best GMs in the league ... Joe Dumars, Donnie Walsh, Jerry West ... they aren't afraid to make a big deal and their teams are usually better off for it.
*gets out history book* This day in history someone from ESPN had something good to say about somethin in the Pacers Organization...duely noted.
No, because then JO becomes the scapegoat.
...until AJ decided to dominate the ball.
poor AJ i feel sorry for him. Who really wants to play for the Hawks lol
[/center]If you havin' depth problems, I feel bad for you son; I got 99 problems but a bench ain't one! - Hicks
AJ is to me as Tinsley is to UB.
In other former Pacers news, Fred Jones has been traded for Juan Dixon.
Freddie goes home to Oregon.
Strikes me strange that ex Pacers who were pretty key components in recent history of the team are being traded so quickly and for so little. It helps me realize maybe why the Pacers struggled then.
seems that r not liked that much elsewhere. i remember when fred jones was our solution at the 2 for years to come by some guyz.
AJ is the kind of guy who would throw himself into improving his game as soon as his flaws are exposed. This could include the "dominating" issue you are talking about.
But beyond that, he's the right kind of PG to fill our current deficiencies. He's also a good "face" for the organization compared to Tinsley.
Again, I'd do the deal in a heartbeat.
I would grant this exception - if there is really bad blood over the trade to Dallas, I mean seriously bad, then I understand why the Pacers wouldn't do the deal.
Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts. - Winston Churchill
If you can't be a good example, then you'll just have to serve as a horrible warning. - Catherine Aird
Ouch.. that hurtsBill (Austin): Chad what are your thoughts on the Hawks getting Anthony Johnson for the Mavs' second round pick for the 07 draft?
Chad Ford: From ESPN.com's own Nick Silva, our cap guru: "The Hawks-Mavs trade saved Dallas 2.64M in tax for this year and 5.72M next year (2.86M salary + 2.86M tax) and they got the Hawks pick in the second round which is 37 right now and they gained a 2.64M trade exception."
Once again Billy Knight is helping out one of the best teams in the league. He needs a lifetime achievement award.
Why Not Us ?

Type of Document Dissertation Author Miller, Deborah J. URN etd-12192003-234328 Title "Walking the Queen's Highway": Ideology and Cultural Landscape in Northern Ireland Degree Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) Department Geography & Anthropology Advisory Committee

Date of Defense 2003-11-07 Availability unrestricted AbstractThe use of public art and ritual in Northern Ireland leads to the creation of cultural landscapes heavy with symbolism – ideological landscapes – that maintain social divisions and incite conflict. Mural and curbstone painting, flag bearing, the construction of memorials, and parading are activities that inscribe messages in the landscape. This study documents the types of symbolism prevalent in Northern Irish landscapes, the meanings attributed to them, and the reactions and subsequent cultural landscape re-creations that result.
Loyalist and nationalist marches that incite riots and civil disorder have disrupted and delayed peace efforts in Northern Ireland for decades. Both loyalists and nationalists parade, but it is the annual marching season of the loyalist fraternal orders through nationalist neighborhoods that, in some cases, result in chronic violence. Nationalist residents attempt to forestall and combat loyalist parades through their neighborhoods, while loyalists insist on their "right to walk the Queen's highway" within the "Queen's domain." Loyalists claim that the nationalists misunderstand their intentions, and that their parades celebrate their culture and not their cultural domination, thereby being a rightful expression of their civil liberties.
This study compares two communities in relation to their July Loyalist parading events. In Coleraine, the 'twelfth holiday' is conducted peacefully each year, while in Portadown, the July parade results in contention and violence. A landscape analysis was conducted in each community, with particular attention paid to symbolism and the loyalist July parade. The two parades in question appear to celebrate the same historical moment, contain the same symbolism, and follow the same traditions, yet each community responds to their parade differently. This landscape analysis is supplemented by ethnographic data from each community to determine how their respective parade events evolved, and how each community negotiates sectarian and political conflict.
Residents create ideological landscapes that divide Northern Ireland into two distinct communities – Protestant/unionist/loyalist and Catholic/nationalist/republican. This ideological landscape reinforces that division, by creating spatial separations, and reminding residents of their history, loyalties, and goals. Residents read and interpret these messages, and negotiate and recreate divided ideological landscapes. This landscape perpetuates socio-cultural divisions, making the attainment of peace more difficult.
