With the least expensive Rolls Royce luxury automobile going for $272,000, you'd think sales would be slow. In fact, The Wall Street Journal reports that the British car manufacturer reported its second consecutive annual sales record in 108 years.
In 2012, Rolls Royce sold 3,575 cars. The market with the fastest-growing sales, up by 25 percent, is the Middle East. Other new, global markets where business is rising are Latin America and Thailand. This year, the company, now a unit of BMW, plans to launch a new model in its Ghost series.
The good times rolled for other premium carmakers: BMW had a record year, along with Audi AG, Mercedes-Benz and Land Rover. Over the past four years, sales of luxury cars worldwide have grown by 13 percent. But sales of cars for the super-rich, including Rolls Royce, Bentley and Maserati, have increased 36 percent during that time. Bentley reports that sales rose by 22 percent in 2012.
Demand for all luxury items has been steadily increasing, likely fueled in part by double-digit gains last year in the stock market that is lining the pockets of the wealthy.

Johannesburg – The Sharks have bolstered their front row, with Tendai Mtawarira and Bismarck du Plessis included in the starting side for their Super Rugby playoff against the Reds in Brisbane on Saturday.
The duo are among five changes made to the starting XV from the side that defeated the Cheetahs in Durban last week.
Mtawarira, who missed the Cheetahs clash, has been passed fit and will start in place of Dale Chadwick in the front row.
Du Plessis, who started on the bench last week, has also fully recovered from a knee injury and replaces Craig Burden at hooker.
Fullback Patrick Lambie, who did not join the touring squad while recovering from an ankle injury, has been replaced by Louis Ludik, who moves up from the bench.
With centre Frans Steyn ineligible for the playoffs, as he signed with the Sharks after the April 1 transfer deadline, he is replaced by Paul Jordaan.
Jordaan starts at outside centre, with Tim Whitehead moving across to his inside.
Willem Alberts is promoted from the bench as a replacement for Pieter-Steph du Toit, who was also omitted from the touring squad with an ankle injury.
Included among the reinforcements on the bench is lock Steven Sykes who has passed a fitness test after missing last week's clash.
Sharks team: Louis Ludik, JP Pietersen, Paul Jordaan, Tim Whitehead, Lwazi Mvovo, Frederic Michalak, Charl McLeod, Ryan Kankowski, Marcell Coetzee, Keegan Daniel (captain), Anton Bresler, Willem Alberts, Jannie du Plessis, Bismarck du Plessis, Tendai Mtawarira.

The Rule of Law History, Theory and Criticism / Edition 1
Hardcover - Rent for
Costa and Zolo share the conviction that a proper understanding of the rule of law today requires referring to a global problematic horizon. It seems unavoidable to investigate into the relationship between Europe and the United States, on the one hand, and the 'rest' of the world, on the other. Over the last centuries this relationship developed in terms of conquest and colonisation, on the widespread view that Western 'civilisation' should be opposed as a whole to 'barbaric' others. Today, however, the notion of rule of law is still rousing a debate that cannot be said to have come to an end. The reason is quite simple: if the origins of the rule of law are in 'Western' societies and cultures, and if until recently the West took the lion's share in the debate on our subject matter, it remains true that today other societies and other cultures take an active and creative part into a sustained philosophical-political debate. This is by no means a merely intellectual or academic question: the Arab-Islamic world, India, China, are not far away planets whose orbits never crossed the European and American West. On the contrary, in fairly recent times the encounters have been close and traumatic.
In sum, the book intends to offer some relevant guides for orienting the reader through a political and legal debate where the rule of law (and the doctrine of 'human rights') is a concept both controversial and significant at the national and international levels.

Will this shield actually work on our 802.11g routers with no support for b?
I guess my point is that if you say your device supports 802.11b/g/n that implies that it can run in all three of those modes. 802.11b/g/n itself is not a standard. It represents three separate standards. Marketing has shortened it by saying 802.11b/g/n when a device supports all three standards.
Operates with standard 802.11b/g/n access point at speed up to11Mbps (802.11b)

Developer Greystar LLC plans to build a 146-unit complex on a 4.9-acre site at 3645 Haven Ave. With one, two or three bedrooms each, the apartments would be grouped into five three-story buildings.
Amenities would include an outdoor dining area, lounge, pool and spa. The plan calls for 255 parking spaces, with up to 15 set aside for electric cars.
None of the units will be below-market-rate housing, according to the staff report.
The study session was advisory only. The project doesn't need the commission's approval, as the city's community development director will make the final determination of whether it complies with the zoning code.
A new project, this one located within the downtown/El Camino Real specific plan zone, was also on the agenda. The owner of 612 College Ave., off Alto Lane, wants to turn a single-family home and a commercial warehouse into four townhomes. Two three-story buildings, with two living units apiece, would be built on the 0.2-acre site.

Rolled my Tractor and it blew up ???
I rolled my tractor over on it's side tonight (kubota L3240) thank goodness for the roll bar, I didn't get a scratch, I was filling in a ditch and the tractor slid sideways and rolled over on it's side, it rolled over real slow but probably would have come on over on top of me if not for the roll bar, yes I'm lucky and it was really a freak accident, everything just came together and it happened.
Now I am REALLY POed!!! the darn thing would not shut off!!, I pulled the key, hit every safety switch, made sure the seat safety switch was depressed and hit the go pedal, kicked in the PTO, pulled all the fuses, made sure the throttle was at idle, I couldn't get the hood open to get to the air cleaner, the darn thing just screamed wide open and blew all the oil out the exhaust until it quit, probably 10 minutes, (seized I suspect)
Why would it not shut down????? I'm gonna want answers from Kubota, there is not a scratch on the tractor, I was able to get it set back on it's wheels with my pickup, but now the engine will probably need a rebuild, I don't understand why it would not shut down, any ideas?? I'm too upset to deal with it tonight, I'll put some oil in it in the morning and see if it will turn over..... sorry for the rant, just really upset right now.2011 Kubota RTV1100, 2011 Kubota L3940, BH92 Backhoe, LA724 QA Loader, Markham 60" Grapple, 72" Grademaster, 72" Woods RFM, and a bunch more.

Re: Rolled my Tractor and it blew up ???
You experienced a Diesel engine runaway. Due to this, engine was running on its own oil and ran until it ran out of oil.

Re: Rolled my Tractor and it blew up ???
Steve...Soo glad you're with us to tell the story.
Did you have your seatbelt on.?? If not, you are one lucky SOB.!!
Can't for the life of me figure out why ithe machine wouldn't shut down.?? Hope someone can help you understand this and I do understand your frustration.
"Not a scratch" tells me if you had shut it down your project might have been completed by days end. IF you had the nerve to get back on it in short order.??
Too bad yet, so very lucky.

Re: Rolled my Tractor and it blew up ???
I think you nailed it Aaron.
Help me understand this further....The ignition, being electrical, becomes irrellevant because of how the lubricants and fuel became distributed.??.....upside wrong.
Therefore, NOTHING shuts the tractor down. Un-real.
Now I am concerned that the operator will not be helped by kubota. It was an accident.
Do you have insurance Steve.??JD770 '92 4x4 SMC FEL JD Ballast Box 6' CountyLine Back Blade 6' CountyLine Rake CountyLine CarryAll

Glad you are OK. No clue why it didn't shut off but I will follow the thread to become educated.
Wikipedia has a plausible explanation under diesel engine runaway.
Sounds like the engine is toast though. Sorry.
Re: Rolled my Tractor and it blew up ???
no insurance on the tractor, I doubt homeowners would cover.
I would highly recommend installing an emergency kill (air kill) on ANY diesel engine, I know now that anything else I own will have one.2011 Kubota RTV1100, 2011 Kubota L3940, BH92 Backhoe, LA724 QA Loader, Markham 60" Grapple, 72" Grademaster, 72" Woods RFM, and a bunch more.

Re: Rolled my Tractor and it blew up ???
bad luck indeed. I rolled my old CASE VAC tricycle a few years ago. Right rear wheel caught a bail of hay and climbed the bail. Needless to say I survived by pushing hard off the platform to the left with a swan dive into the turf so I could clear the tracter rolling over to the left,also. My accident happened because I was hot,tired,and stupid. Fortunately,I had enough instincts to clear the roll.

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Community banks may not have household names, but the nine profiled today have positive weekly charts and thus provide investment opportunities.
When focusing on community banks, my first look is at the ABA Nasdaq Community Bank Index (ABAQ). (This sector is availabe in ETF form as the First Trust NASDAQ ABA Community Bank Index Fund (QABA).) Before the banking crisis, this index consisted of 500 bank stocks with a waiting list of banks wanting to join the list. After many bank failures, mergers and banks simply closing, the community bank index today has just 374 publicly traded members.
I weeded through the list to find those that had an average trading volume of at least 300,000 shares and represented different areas of the country. Four are headquartered in the Northeast, one is in the Southeast (Puerto Rico), one is in the Midwest, two are out West -- and one is a savings and loan headquartered in Topeka, Kansas.
Following these profiles are three "crunching the numbers" tables to help you understand the moving averages and stochastics, the value levels and risky levels, and the data from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
All of the nine community banks are above their five key moving averages except one, which is below its 200-day simple moving average. All have positive weekly charts, above their five-week modified moving averages with rising 12x3x3 weekly slow stochastics. These profiles will focus on the FDIC data and the value and risky levels.
Associated Banc-Corp (ASBC) ($18.20) has $24.6 billion in assets. Exposures to construction and development and commercial real estate loans are well-managed. The stock traded as high as $18.70 on March 21, and weakness has held its 200-day simple moving average at $16.87 since then. Semiannual and quarterly value levels are $17.69 and $16.98, respectively, with a weekly pivot at $18.06 and monthly risky level at $18.76.
Boston Private Financial Holdings (BPFH) ($13.47) has $6.5 billion in assets. It has a slight overexposure to CRE loans with a ratio to risk-based capital at 310.2%. The stock traded as high as $14.64 on Jan. 17, then as low as $11.69 on May 15, holding its 200-day SMA at $12.12. Weekly and semiannual value levels are $12.73 and $12.30, respectively, with a monthly risky level at $13.92.
Popular, Inc. (BPOP) ($32.22) has $36.2 billion in assets. Exposures to C&D and CRE loans are well-managed. The stock held its 200-day SMA at $28.58 since mid-March, and traded as high as $32.33 on Tuesday. Weekly and semiannual value levels are $30.92 and $27.78, with a monthly pivot at $31.49 and quarterly risky level at $49.01.
Capitol Federal Financial (CFFN) ($11.99) has $9.1 billion in assets. Exposures to C&D and CRE loans are well-managed. The stock has been trading back and forth around its 200-day SMA at $11.88 since April 25. A monthly value level is $11.96, with a quarterly pivot at $12.43 and annual risky levels at $16.03 and $17.60.
National Penn Bancshares (NPBC) ($10.80) has $8.5 billion in assets. Exposures to C&D and CRE loans are well-managed. The stock moved above its 200-day SMA at $10.50 on June 6. A weekly value level is $10.04, with a monthly pivot at $11.05. Quarterly and semiannual risky levels are at $11.40 and $12.45, respectively.
PacWest Bancorp (PACW) ($44.14) has $6.5 billion in assets. It is overexposed to CRE loans, with a ratio of 361.1% on loans vs. risk-based capital. Annual and quarterly value levels are $42.73 and $40.06, respectively, with a monthly risky level at $47.52.
Signature Bank (SBNY) ($122.20) has $23.1 billion in assets. It has an overexposure to CRE loans, with a ratio to risk-based capital of 530%. Quarterly and weekly value levels are $117.25 and $116.33, respectively, with a monthly risky level at $140.60.

"It's one big 'AAAAAAAAAAAAAARRGGHH'," explains Phil K, the noise he emits perfectly describing the whirlwind touring commitments he finds himself happily burdened by. "Every day it feels like I'm confronted with something different to do and a new challenge to meet. Even though it's all music and DJing, it's a different crowd and a different place and I have to win them over with what I do and not compromise. This was my second time in Juarez, Mexico. The first time I went there I ripped the shit out of it and didn't expect to. I was just like 'Oh my fucking god! These people are so crazy'. In Mexico City it was the complete opposite. They were much more a standard 4/4 prog crowd and every time I dropped a breakbeat I lost them. Again, it's a different challenge. So to keep myself interested in situations like that I'd do loads of tricks and loops and really work it rather than just play records I find boring."
A futurist by nature, perhaps not being an engineer is one of the few things holding Phil K back. Like other mere mortals, he frustratingly has to wait for new technology to be developed before he can continue his advancement instead of simply designing and building it himself. Thus, when Pioneer brought out the DJM 600 mixer, he made it his own, using it in ways that not even its creators had ever imagined. Before long, Pioneer had acquisitioned Phil K's services to demonstrate their latest DJ technology the world over. For this reason he is particularly looking forward to his upcoming gig at Tokyo's Womb nightclub. "Tokyo is just another world," he remarks. "I played at a club called Yellow a while ago, which was five hours in this amazing little room with an amazing sound system. The crowd didn't know what to make of it to begin with but they gave it a chance and by the third hour there were people trying to jump into the console. The Pioneer crew always come to see me use their equipment when I'm in Tokyo, so I'm in total zen concentration mode. I have to be because it's about precision and it's about 'I'm here to show you fuckers how I rinse your shit out'. Last time I knew exactly where I would be in twenty minutes time. Everything, technically, was nailed spot on. I was so in tune and so focused on what I was doing that it was ninja-style. Hopefully, I can get to that level again in Tokyo, and I have a good feeling about the gig."
For those who don't know Phil K, these kind of remarks may seem slightly egotistical. However, this could not be further from the truth. He hasn't chosen this path for the fame, frequent flyer miles or money (although doubtless the latter is a perk that he appreciates after putting in the hard yards). Purely and simply it is playing and making music that Phil K lives for, and as long as he is able to do this, the rest is inconsequential. Furthermore, if you consider comments like those above to be 'talking the talk', rest assured he can certainly 'walk the walk'. As Dave Seaman puts it, Phil K has "more talent in his little finger than most so called 'superstar DJ's' could dream of in a lifetime," and as both a DJ and a producer he takes this prodigious talent to its limits. Bending minds just as he bends beats, not only does he challenge himself, but he challenges any open minded listener to not accept the bland, the unimaginative or the reprocessed.
One of the few on a similar plain is James Zabiela who played with Phil K in Juarez. "I've never seen anyone fuck around in a set as much as he does," says an awestruck Phil K. "He is so inspiring. The last half hour we both got up there and just lost it. He was cutting. I was tweaking. It was fucking insane. I remember thinking, 'How are we making these machines make these noises?' James and I want to do a lot more stuff together. His girlfriend has been compiling footage and mixing visuals while my whole thing is a going towards the computer world. So hopefully we can get together within the next year and put together something that's visual, that's computerized, CD, turntable, live efx unit and just jam. It's definitely going to happen if he feels half as inspired as I do around him and it will be technical mayhem."
Much of Phil K's current tour is in support of 'The Therapy Sessions', a double mix CD by himself and Dave Seaman released on Renaissance. Meanwhile, the Melbourne progressive scene is in its own renaissance period, a concept many Melbourne clubbers understand they are part of while others will only realise once it is too late. Names like Luke Chable, Jono Fernandez, NuBreed and Infusion are topping dance music charts the world over and nobody was more a part of the early and continuing development of this sound than Phil K. Throughout the world there are few progressive breaks acts that could say the Hi-Fi Bugs (Phil K's pioneering breakbeat project with Andy Page), and their opus Lydian and the Dinosaur in particular, didn't inspire their musical direction to some degree. More recent, and just as important, was the 2003 release of DJ Mag's World Series of mix CDs with Australia represented by a Phil K breaks set. "There were 40 000 copies of the DJ Mag CD that went out," he recounts. "While at the time I was a bit too close to the project to appreciate it fully, I look back now and think 'wow! All these cool Australian artists and tracks on one CD' and I'm so proud of it. It's not just a whole bunch of random Australian records put together for the sake of them being Australian, it really works well as a mix. Ten years ago who would ever have thought we could have achieved that? Having the front cover CD for DJ Magazine full of compositions that are all ours and all world class and caving heads in all over the world."
While his previous commercially released mix CDs such as 'Sound Not Scene' and 'Balance 004' were widely and lavishly heaped with praise, 'Therapy Sessions' is a further step forward for Phil K. Through Renaissance it has been distributed and marketed internationally, despite Renaissance's involvement being an afterthought. "It was never intended to be a Renaissance release," explains Phil K. "Dave (Seaman) just wanted to do a mix, and when he worked out everything he needed to do to make it successful, it was going to mean a lot more work on his behalf if he did it straight off his own bat. So he handed it to Renaissance who already had distribution and marketing in place and left us to concentrate on the music. I joined Dave's agency, Therapy, last year though we'd been friends for a long time. At the time he made me no promises, but said he was doing a CD towards the end of the year and wanted to include me as he thought I could offer something in terms of taking it in a different direction. I didn't want it to be all about this crazy, mind-fucking music. I mean, it gets there, but I wanted to do it in such a way that it wouldn't jar too many people and it would introduce them to my sound smoothly. The way I viewed it was that if people can appreciate that mix, if they then choose to book me or see me DJ they will know what they're in for. If I did something in a Renaissance style I wouldn't be true to myself so I'd be shitting in my own bed as people would expect me to play that kind of stuff at gigs. So if people don't like what they hear on my CD, well that's ok too as they're not wasting either of our time."

The Internet's Mid-Life Crisis
Arizona State University, New America Foundation and Slate
Monday, October 25, 2010
8:45 a.m. - 11:30 a.m.
It is hard to pick up a major magazine these days without reading about the last days of the Internet, at least the world wide (open) web version of it. Recent cover stories by Wired, The Economist and Newsweek have all fretted about how private, cordoned-off spaces - be they Apple's apps or Facebook - are undermining the ethos and promise of the virtual commons. What gives? Was AOL's initial approach to create a walled-off community ahead of its time? Is the trend towards proprietary online cul-de-sacs reversible? Is the Internet merely succumbing to the same cycles all information technologies have experienced - from their freewheeling pioneer days to their buttoned-down commercialization - as Tim Wu argues in his upcoming book The Master Switch: The Rise and Fall of Information Empires?
Premature obits are decidedly uncool, so instead of proclaiming the Web's death, we invite you to join us to mull over the Internet's mid-life crisis.

text: The small speaker on the drivers door of my 2001.B6 A4 appears to have a loose connection. The sound keeps coming and going. Is it relatively easy to get behind it to check the connections, or is it best to take it to a dealer? I've only had the car a few weeks so its still under Audi warranty, but I still prefer to do it myself if its easy. Cheers Mike

Boy, what a tiresome week this was. And the warmth put me over the edge. My brain is stuffed with thoughts and what better to use for cleanup than fantastic electronic music that chills? So here it goes, starting with Naming Ghosts. After that, getting some Inspirations by Tastenklang. It will surely be Nice to Meet You, Frame. Right before Adamned.Age gives us a Transit Berlin. Followed by the famous Still Waters, brought deeply to us by Robert Fox. Then we will do a Solar Walk with Realtime. Closing the show with a great Sunset Dream in the Sundown Cafe.

Officials want Midstate residents to be on the lookout for a new scam in which the crooks will use convincing, fake court papers and even threaten to have the victims arrested if they don't pay up.
Investigators at the U.S. Postal Service say the scam is a result of some sort of breach with one or multiple payday loan organizations. They say data such as contact information, birth dates and social security numbers may have gotten into the wrong hands.
Criminals will then use the information to contact the victim via Internet, phone, or mail to say that victims need to pay money or face prosecution, according to officials. The scammers will even send fake court papers purportedly from U.S. District Court.
"This is probably one of the more sophisticated one's I have seen in my 19 years because of the layers involved in it, with the amount of work to substantiate what they are telling the victim," Postal Investigator Nick Alicea said.
Often, officials say, the scammers will want victims to use prepaid Green Dot MoneyPak cards that leave virtually no paper trail.
So far there have been two reported cases in Pennsylvania, including one involving a Shiremanstown man, authorities say. There have been a handful of victims in New Jersey.
There's no word yet on the scope of the scam.
Officials say it originated in India.
The FBI is also investigating.
Anyone who believes they may have been affected by the scam can contact the U.S. Postal Inspection Service's office in Harrisburg at (717) 257-2330.

What happens when Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez—the first couple of teen pop—invite their friends over to a mansion, put on fake mustaches, film the ensuing silly dance party, and put it on YouTube? Chances are it'll go viral. But the soundtrack of to the video wasn't one of Selena or Justin's tracks—it's "Call Me Maybe," by singer-songwriter Carly Rae Jepsen. Perhaps you've heard it? The black-and-white clip has amassed over 30 million views (the official video has over 18 million).
It turns out Carly Rae Jepsen isn't your typical tween sensation. For one thing, she's 26, having spent the years scraping by on the bar circuit before her first break, a spot on Canadian Idol. She placed third, got a record deal, and found modest local success. And then her country's most famous musical export heard "Call Me Maybe" on the radio, couldn't get it out of his head, and signed her to his Schoolboy Records. A few tweets from Bieber, and the song's a top ten hit.
We caught up with Jepsen as she was riding to Boston, and talked about the boyfriend who inspired "Call Me Maybe"—sorry, she's taken—her favorite jazz clubs in New York, and her upcoming an album, which may or may not have a Bieber cameo.
NATE FREEMAN: Hey Carly!
CARLY RAE JEPSEN: Hey Nate!
FREEMAN: Carly!
JEPSEN: Nate! How you doing!
FREEMAN: I'm doing great. So, where are you right now?
JEPSEN: Good question! Um, we are on our way to Boston.
FREEMAN: What's going on there?
JEPSEN: Well, more radio work. We're just popping all over the country, saying our hellos, and playing them songs.
FREEMAN: So, did you even think this song would get as big as it did?
JEPSEN: No, of course not! I was really happy it was doing good in Canada, I was really enclosed in that bubble and feeling quite content there.
FREEMAN: Well, everyone here [in New York] seems to be listening to this song, oh, 15 times in a row.
JEPSEN: Yeah, well, and the fact the Justin came and took it to the next level, it's like nothing I've ever dreamed of.
FREEMAN: I can't crack the code—how can I not stop listening to this song?
JEPSEN: It began as a folky acoustic number. I was at my uncle's house and then the bridge, you know, "Before you came into my life I missed you so bad," that's about this guy who I'm seeing, he makes up for all the things that I'm not. It's awesome! I missed him before he was even in my life.
FREEMAN: You're still with the guy who you wrote it about?
JEPSEN: I am, yeah.
FREEMAN: How does he feel about this very personal statement being shared with the whole world?
JEPSEN: I think he feels pretty special about it. I hope he does, at least! The way I write is generally about love. I have a great fascination about the subject.
FREEMAN: So, Justin started to reach out to you...
JEPSEN: It began with a hysterical phone call from my sister, saying that he had tweeted. I don't know why he had chosen me out of everyone! That was beyond my wildest dreams.
FREEMAN: Justin and Selena made that video...
JEPSEN: I had no idea that was coming! I was just home in Canada at my place when I saw it on Facebook, someone had tagged me in it. It was just crazy to me!
FREEMAN: It seems like you and Justin have a good relationship. Is it just like hanging out with a normal person?
JEPSEN: He is Justin Bieber! But he's just so relaxed and comfortable and chill about everything. He let me jump in on one of his songs and sing on it.
FREEMAN: You have an album out this fall. Is he going to jump on any of your tracks?
JEPSEN: Well there's no immediate plans for that, but I've learned lately from this experience to dream big and see what happens.
FREEMAN: And you're coming to New York next week?
JEPSEN: I am! And I love New York, I can't wait.
FREEMAN: Do you have any places in New York that you love going to?
JEPSEN: I have a great love for jazz, so if there was a good place to see jazz, that would be rad.
FREEMAN: Do you have a favorite jazz place in mind?
JEPSEN: If you have any suggestions, I'm all ears!
FREEMAN: There's a really cool place in the West Village, Smalls, it's downstairs, and it's like an old Greenwich Village institution, you should check it out.
JEPSEN: You like jazz too? That's so rad.
FREEMAN: My friend's dad, he's a bass player, he had a gig there, and there's also the Village Vanguard, and Birdland..
JEPSEN: I was there when Duke Ellington's grandson was there, it was pretty crazy.
FREEMAN: And the Blue Note. Maybe they haven't caught the "Call Me Maybe" bug yet.
JEPSEN: "Call Me Maybe" on the trumpet!
FREEMAN: They'll have an impromptu cover for you when you walk in.
JEPSEN: Maybe!

Who: Will Smith
Where: At the Valentino menswear Fall/Winter 2014-2015 Paris Fashion Week show
Diagnosis: Causing stress flashbacks; we're pretty sure we wore similarly printed pants back in grammar school, and seeing them on Smith is making us panic about our big Egg Drop project. Yes, Toile was huge in the '90s, but Smith is bringing back the fabric, most commonly used for making drapes and chair cushions.
Smith's jungle print pants (there are elephants and bamboo if you look closely) aren't the only problem. His styling (we're wondering if anyone helped him with this, or he pulled it off on his own) has us scratching our heads as well.
The biggest cause of concern? That he's wearing camo sneakers with those bottoms. We're all for mixing prints, but this is too much.
RELATED PHOTOS: Vote on more questionable star style in "Obsessed or Hot Mess?"
Prognosis and recommended treatment: We applaud you, Will, for thinking outside the box with this look, but we think the entire outfit needs an overhaul. If the toile pants are an absolute must, maybe try swapping out the army-green varsity jacket and camo sneakers for a nice V-neck sweater and some dress shoes. Or just dust off one of your Men and Black suits and a pair of Tom Ford wingtips and call it a day.
–Brittany Talarico
So, your thoughts? Do you agree Smith's pants are problematic? Or do you hope the look catches on?

According to a study by the Institute of Leadership & Management (ILM) of more than 1000 UK workers and managers, British workers are not making the most of their holidays and are working through their annual leave.
The survey found that:
- 61% of workers take their work phones or tablets on holiday and feel obligated to work (up from 54% in 2013).
- 64% respond to emails during their time off
- 54% have annual leave left at the end of the year
- 28% take business phone calls
- 8% go into the office.
However, only 28% reported that they had had arguments with friends and family about working whilst on holiday, down from 37% in 2013 – this may indicate that it is becoming the norm for employees to be accessible at all times.
The survey also indicated that the prospect of an upcoming holiday caused 73% of workers to feel more stressed out, and increase from 71% in 2013. 68% of workers also stayed late in the office the day before. It also showed that around 18% of workers come back from their holiday more stressed than when they left, maybe due to having to catch up with their workload on their return.
Chief Executive of the Institute of Leadership & Management, Charles Elvin, said: "Britain's workforce is not making the most of their annual leave. Our survey paints a picture of an over-stressed workforce, who feel they cannot afford to switch off out of fear of falling behind on workloads.
"It is crucial that people are able to make the most of their time off work to fully relax, reflect and recharge. This allows them fresh perspective and energy to tackle their work on return from holiday."
Charles Elvin continued: "Finding work-life balance is easier said than done. But organisations can foster positive work environments by encouraging staff to use their full holiday allowance, hand over responsibilities to co-workers in the lead up to leave and have face to face meetings on their return."
The key message Alcumus gives for workers is to plan well in advance, give adequate warning and ensure an effective handover. Things will crop up when you are on holiday and you need to ensure your manager and colleagues are equipped to deal with them. If possible get a colleague to check your emails and remove all unnecessary items from your inbox, and ensure your out of office reply for both your email and phone includes return dates and someone that can be contacted in your absence.
Employers also have a role to play in encouraging reluctant staff to take holiday and to coach them on how to do it well. Not taking holiday can actually damage the individual's very important bond with the company, especially in cases where workers will not get paid for their missed leave.

Spring Lake Park city staff recently saw an opportunity when a 16,000 square-foot building on the former Cemstone plant site went on the market.
City Administrator Barbara Nelson, Public Works Director Terry Randall and Police Chief Doug Ebeltoft suggested using the former warehouse for storage.
Mayor Cindy Hansen agreed and called a Feb. 2 council workshop to discuss the city's potential purchase of the two-acre site at 8502 Central Ave. N.E.
NorthMarq Real Estate Service in Minneapolis is working with Cemstone Products Co. to market the property, which has a listed sale price of $640,000.
Nelson said during the Feb. 2 city council workshop that the city would consider a bond issue of $650,000 to fund the site acquisition.
During the workshop, council members reviewed a letter of intent sent from NorthMarq to Randall and a detailed memo prepared by Ebeltoft that outlined his department's lack of storage space. Spring Lake Park's current city building was built 35 years ago.
A police department expansion was built in 1994. Police, public works, code enforcement and vehicles being held for forfeiture are currently being stored outside. Other city departments are running short on space.
"We need to get stuff inside," Randall said. "We don't have a place to put anything anymore."
Nelson added, "This building would be perfect for that [purpose.]"
Councilmember Dale Dahl was adamantly opposed to the Cemstone purchase. The city would be better off getting cost estimates for a new public works and police department storage building on existing city property at 1301 81st Ave. N.E., he said.
Dahl said he and former Mayor Bob Nelson discussed the city's storage space concerns two years ago.
"When I look at this building, I see a turd," Dahl said with disgust. "I just see a big maintenance nightmare. All of the paint is peeling and the windows are busted. I don't want to buy a building our [city] maintenance guys spend 40 hours a week remodeling. I would rather buy new."
Randall said the city needed to find a way to free up storage space.
Dahl didn't disagree with that assessment, but he still suggested a smaller storage building would work.
During discussion, council members said they were willing to look into the cost of a brand-new building, prompting Councilmember Barbara Carlson to comment directly about cost.
"If we choose to go for a new building, our citizens will pay more in taxes," she said. "I think we should make that [point] clear around this table."
Nelson said other city departments had storage needs. As an example, she mentioned election voting machines, which were being stored in a utility room.
"Let's look at the real big picture," Randall said. "We have city hall. We are going to have to do something here someday. Do we want to add another level? Combine the garages? Add on? The really big picture means really big money."
Nelson said the storage building issue had a 25-year history, dating back to when she and City Attorney Jeff Carson started with the city.
"This building just seemed to be perfect for us," she said. "We felt, as staff, that it was our duty to bring this forward and talk about it." According to Hansen, city purchase of the Cemstone property could help jump-start a badly needed redevelopment process.
"In a perfect world, I would like an on-site storage building, too, but I would like us to be more proactive than reactive," Hansen said. "We need to look at this as an investment opportunity start rebuilding that corner."
Nelson said city staff's long-range plans for the existing building included a second-story addition.
Carson addressed vehicle storage issues. "I bet you are losing thousands of dollars a year on forfeiture vehicles," he said. "They are rotting out from under us."
In a pre-meeting memo to council, Ebeltoft said forfeited vehicles are currently taken to a towing agency, where they are stored outside and attacked by rodents.
"Numerous attempts have been made to develop some type of fenced storage facility for these vehicles at city hall, but due to a lack of physical area, nothing's been completed," he wrote.
Ebeltoft said a large bike inventory in the city garage makes obtaining access to the mezzanine-level weapons cleaning room treacherous.
"What I'm hearing from around the table is everybody is willing to look into a brand-new building," Nelson said. "We have a closed session on the [Feb. 21] agenda already, but we have to use that session to talk about price or what a purchase agreement would say."
Carson concurred with Nelson's assessment.
When the workshop ended, other council members agreed with Dahl's suggestion the city should continue researching cost estimates for a new building.
City leaders conducted a 25-minute closed session Feb. 6 to discuss possible purchase of the Cemstone warehouse. Carson said no decision was reached during the closed session.
And earlier this week, Nelson said Dahl and Randall were still gathering information and new building cost estimates.
Nelson said she wasn't sure if the public works and police department storage space and building issue would make the council's Feb. 21 meeting agenda.

Hi - I'm a first time mommy-to-be due in March and I've decided to do self pre-natal care. I truly believe in trusting nature in the miracle of creating my baby and giving birth. I've read up on the basic pre-natal care and I'm keeping an eye on it all while trying to take a laid back/natural approach to the whole experience. Ideally I want to check in with a midwife once or twice before the birth and then have the birth at a birthing center. Does anyone have experience doing this? Do birth centers allow this kind of limited pre-natal care and then birth? If the birth center option is out, I'm open to having a birth at the hospital but really it's not my first choice. This may seem like a silly question but can a hospital turn you away if you do not have a relationship with a doc there?? Any input would be greatly appreciated!!!
I would be surprised if a birth center would go along with that for liability reasons. A hospital will of course take you but it will likely be a miserable experience. You will most likely be treated like an irresponsible parent who clearly risked the safety and life of yourself and your baby. You will likely be pressured into a great deal of unnecessary testing for both you and the baby. It's also possible someone at the hospital will call CPS and theoretically they would have a case. Obtaining medical care and oversight during pregnancy is considered to be a basic level of responsible behavior in our society at large. A hospital is unlikely to be sympathetic to your autonomy.
Having sad all that, I know where you are coming from. I'm hoping for a very hands off pregnancy this next time around but I'll be using a home birth midwife and we'll be in agreement as to the plan when I hire her. I honestly can't fathom doing either a UP or a hands off pregnancy and then showing up to a hospital for anything sort of a life an death emergency. It just wouldn't be well received and would result in all sorts of negative repercussions for both baby and I.
ETA: I should have clarified. Under a law called EMTALA, a hospital will have to take you if you are in labor but you will be subject to whomever is on call, hospital policy, etc. Regardless of how strong you are, your birth plan, etc. that will not prevent them from making your life a living hell, calling CPS (for either you lack of prenatal care or your refusal of any tests or treatments, etc.). Sorry to be so negative but even around here (where home births and midwives are really common), I can't imagine that being well received.

Hi Sunshine, I am new here, but having had 2 babies recently, back to back, I am pretty familiar with what kinds of things go along with standard prenatal care. I have never heard of anyone doing "self" prenatal care. In fact, I can't think of how it is possible. How can you test yourself for Group B Strep? Gestational Diabetes? Placenta Previa? I'm sure there are more, but those are the main things I can think of off the top of my head that would be impossible to do on your own. You really should see someone, at least for those important tests. Other things, like monthly belly measurements and heartbeat monitoring, you could do on your own or with your partner's help.
I don't know of any midwife who would take on a patient who willingly refused prenatal care, because she would have no idea what kinds of risks factors are present. You would likely end up going into the ER, where you wouldn't know anyone and (like the previous poster said) they are likely to call CPS for child neglect. It is much, much safer for you and your baby if you find a competent care provider who will see you throughout your pregnancy and delivery.
I wonder why don't you want to birth at home (barring complications), if you find home best for prenatal care and trust the process of birth? Is that maybe just not a leap you've made mentally yet, accept home birth as possible for you? I had a great experience with a homebirth midwife who I visited for all the regular checkups, but was my partner in keeping an eye on baby's and my health, not in charge of me and not doing anything invasive. At the birth she was the same way. Many birth center midwives may take a similar approach. UP and UC is another option, trusting yourself and the process from start to finish and birth on your own. Unassisted pregnancy and then walking into the hospital without records, they'll take you but make your life and labor miserable out of concern or maybe just to "punish" you. By all means transfer if complications arise though, that's what the hospital is there for, treating serious problems, giving medications, doing c sections.
People who do their own prenatal care often use the urine test strips and if there's any warning signs of GD will test blood sugars with a home monitor. Placenta previa can often cause a little bleeding in pregnancy as a warning sign and might be found by listening via doppler. A CDC approved alternative GBS treatment plan is to only treat for it if waters are broken too long, mom gets a fever, or baby is premature. If a mother responsibly performs her own care it's a question of semantics and legalism whether she received prenatal care.
Ignoring the legalism and semantics, the main obstacle to working with a midwife is that suddenly she's taking on responsibility for your case, having hardly spent time with you, having never been responsible for your care so far, having very little familiarity with your body and your personality.
I did it. I saw a doctor at 18 weeks, 22 weeks and 28 weeks. I wanted an ultrasound and bloodwork so we took care of that at those appointments. Also I wanted to do a hospital tour and have a chart. I ended up being almost 2 weeks overdue so I showed up at the ER for a non stress test. My doctor happened to be on call at the time and she was also there the next day when I went back to have my baby.
Where I live you don't have the option of a midwife or birth centre. My choice was hospital birth or birthing alone about 40 mins away from the hospital (I considered it for about 5 minutes but only half-heartedly because it just boiled down to be waaaaay out my safety zone). I was realy upset so I did what felt right at the time, and that was mainly self prenatal care and a hospital birth. So I just minimized the amount of time I spent at the Dr's office really, and did the tests I thought were important.
The doctor wasn't happy with me at all. But we didn't get along from the get-go anyway. It still was a great birth. All the nurses at my birth were super and respectful of my choices. Because I didn't discuss my birthing preferences with the doc ahead of time, a couple of things like super duper delayed cord clamping and trying different pushing positions didn't happen. But, I push my babies out really quickly and easily on my back anyway so that ended up being a non issue. I didn't take a group b strep test and no one even batted an eye (that I knew of), although I did write in my birth plan that I would take abx under certain conditions.
I'm in Canada btw. I don't know if the crap I pulled would have been so tolerated elsewhere. I say "crap" now, but at the time it was VERY important to do my own prenatal care. And now it's like oh yeah, btdt...I'll just let the doc take care of that if there is ever a next time .
Here is my birth story if you want to read it.
Birth centers only handle low risk births, and they verify your needs by providing prenatal care. They won't handle a birth for an unknown person with unknown medical needs, which is what you are asking. Whomever attends your birth adopts all of the risk of your birth, even if they would choose to their liability insurance would prevent it.
Hospitals won't refuse you if you are in active labor (but only active labor) but I think you would be very unahappy with your experience if you show up without a relationship and claiming that you provided your own prenatal care.
Seriously, for a first pregnancy, you should have some realtionship with someone, since you've never experience these feelings before, and you do need the major tests (blood pressure check (for high BP), gestational diabetes) becuase if unchecked and they become a health problem (and you don't know its a health problem because you are doing 'self care') then they could be threat to your health , the baby's health, and even your survival of L&D, if there was something majorly wrong.
Home birth with a midwife sounds like it might fit for you. Shop around until you find someone that fits your style of laid backness.
Does insurance factor into your decisions at all? Or is this all out of pocket?

I thought you were very articulate. Although I'm only seeing it now myself, as I don't have a TV, either.
.-= Amber´s last blog ..Life Crafting Role Models- Jeanette =-.
ABy Jeremy Adam Smith
So, apparently, on Tuesday I was a guest on The Today Show:
5. I liked the clip of Lance and his family that preceded my interview; he and his wife are really the stars of this show, and I'm not sure why Stacy and I were necessary, though I'm happy enough to chat about my book with any national TV audience. (Because I've become a media whore?) The night before, I'd had dinner with Lance and Matt and Patrick of NYC Dads. What a great bunch of guys and what great work they're doing.
6. I was dismayed that Willie Geist was filling in for Kathie Lee — because, come on, it's Kathie Lee! — but Willie seemed like an amiable fella. In person, Hoda came off as bigger than life.
7. I was quite sick that day, and the interview itself was a blur. I remember Willie looking pretty uncomfortable when I rejected the idea that stigma defines stay-at-home dads and when I brought up paternity leave. (Thought-ballon I imagined over his head: "Crap, he's not going to get political, is he? I thought this was supposed to be about stay-at-home dads!")
8. I'm pasting in the code from the clip without having actually watched the clip–and I don't plan on ever watching it, truth be told. I can't stand to see myself on TV.
9. Apparently, my son Liko can't stand to see me on TV either. Since we don't have a TV at home, he and my wife and my mother went to a diner with a big flat screen on 24th St. to watch the show. About two minutes in, Liko finished his breakfast, sighed heavily, and said, "Can I go home now?"
That's exactly how I felt! That's my boy!

Some May Say Mike London Mismanaged the Clock
BLACKSBURG - Instead of using time outs to "ice" Virginia Tech kicker Cody Journell before he kicked what became the game-winning field goal, Virginia coach Mike London could have used them earlier in order to preserve a little bit of time for UVa's offense to potentially score after Tech's go-ahead field goal.
Former Cavalier quarterback Matt Shaub, now with the Houston Texans tweeted this:
@MSchaub8 Terrible clock management by my wahoos today. Could've had a min left for O by using TOs.
The Daily Press' David Teel suggested, "Had London used his timeouts, the Cavaliers might have regained the ball with 40-some seconds remaining, albeit against a defense that limited them to 68 second-half yards."
London answered with this response.

Liquid Tight Cordgrips - Heyco Products Inc
Heyco Products Inc. has announced introduction of their new Heyco®-Tite Straight Thru and Pigtail design Snap-In-2® Liquid Tight Cordgrips. The Straight-Thru design fits panels from .062" (1,6 mm) to .125" (3,2 mm) thick and handles flexible cord diameters ranging from .065" (1,7 mm) to 1.000" (25,4 mm) and the Pigtail design fits panels from .062" (1,6 mm) to .125" (3,2 mm) thick and cord diameters ranging from .065" (1,7 mm) to .709" (18,0 mm). Both provide the ultimate in liquid tight strain relief protection.
Easily installed with no tools or locknuts required, the Snap-In-2® Cordgrip's unique fingers securely snap into a range of panel thicknesses. The Pigtail's integral nylon spring eases the cable into a lazy bend to prevent kinking and assure long cable and product life. A sealing flange on both designs prevents sealing washer displacement due to water velocity to ensure a liquid tight IP 65 and IP 67 seal. This eliminates the need for a locknut or threaded hole to achieve a liquid tight seal at the panel - perfect for low clearance installation where locking nut access is limited.
Both Heyco®-Tite Snap-In-2® Cordgrips also feature a ratchet design sealing nut assembly to provide superior anti-vibration and ensure a firm grip on the cable. Rotation is also prevented when the Cordgrip is used in "Double D" mounting holes. Constructed of nylon 6/6 with Buna N or TPE sealing gland, the Cordgrips are recognized under the Components Program of Underwriters Laboratories File E51579, Certified by Canadian Standard Association File 93876C, have a 94V-2 flammability rating, and operating temperature range of -22°F (-30°C) to 212°F (100°C). Free samples are available.
- fits panels from .062" (1,6 mm) to .125" (3,2 mm) thick
- easily installed
- ratchet design sealing nut assembly

My neighbor has a chaain link fence along a portion of the property line. I want to extend it the entire length of the back yard.
Can I attach my fence to theirs?
It's best to talk to your neighbour first, you can avoid a lot of possible headaches. Also talk to your cities building department about it. Most of the time if the fence is on the property line, you both own it and are responsible for repairs. so you would be able to use the existing posts. However if it is one foot on his side of the property line, then he would own the fence outright and you can not touch it.
I agree with James from Phoenix Renos and Repairs. Discussing it with your neighbor is the first step then contact your building department to review any bylaw concerns. Most municipalities have restrictions on type, height, etc on fencing. Sometimes the bylaws vary by subdivision so it is worth asking about.
Good luck with your project.
No, not without consulting neighbor. Even though they might agree for your own benefit place a separate post. It might prevent future problems, and the cost is minimal.
Hi Norm,
Talk to your neighbor first. It makes life a lot easier.
Be sure the fence is on the property line, then build off the posts. You will have to check with the city, and have them come out and mark the property lines for you.

LXer: Asus EeePC spotted running SplashTop instant-on OS
Published at LXer:
You probably remember the SplashTop instant-on, Linux-based OS from past posts or perhaps developer DeviceVM's demo at last October's reader meetup in San Francisco. It's well known that this embedded feature will ship standard on select ASUS motherboards, but as we were cruising around the PC manufacturer's booth today, we happened to catch a rather unexpected application for SplashTop: running on the EeePC.

SANTA CLARA, Calif. – It's not easy to draw a parallel between the San Jose Earthquakes' usual home and their temporary digs. But Shea Salinas gave it his best effort.
"The surface is pretty similar to Buck Shaw," Salinas said. "And I think that's the only similarity."
The Quakes got a chance to test drive Levi's Stadium on Friday, training at the soon-to-be home of the San Francisco 49ers in advance of their Saturday matchup against the Seattle Sounders (10:30 pm ET, NBCSN, stream on NBCSports.com, TSN2 in Canada). A crowd of roughly 45,000 is expected for the first competitive event at the $1.2 billion venue.
The reviews – perhaps not surprisingly, for a team that typically plays in a college arena where barely more than 10,000 constitutes a sellout – were uniformly positive.
"This is awesome," Salinas said. "I know a lot of history is going to be made in this stadium. It's cool to be the first part of that history. … You're kind of in awe when you walk into this stadium, so it'll be exciting tomorrow."
Said Jason Hernandez: "There's definitely a little added excitement to it, knowing that it's the first game being played in this stadium and this is a stadium that's going to be loved by a lot of people in this area for years to come. It's a cool feeling."
The Levi's Stadium opening comes six days after the Quakes staged the final professional game at Candlestick Park – the Niners' former home – with an exhibition against Atletico Madrid before 15,556 fans.
"Close one stadium down, open another – our marketing team has done a good job," Salinas said.
- Get the latest Quakes news at SJQuakes.com
That double won't be repeated, but Quakes president David Kaval told the San Jose Mercury News on Thursday that the Levi's appearance kicks off a five-year deal to play one league match per year at the stadium. That's in addition to also staging one MLS game near July 4 at Stanford Stadium, a tradition that dates to 2011.
So, will the Quakes carve their names into the plush lockers that – temporarily, at least – belong to them?
"I'm not going to put that on the record," Hernandez told MLSsoccer.com. "But some of us might leave some articles behind, for sure."

Damn, not only did I lose, but I lost one of my starting WRs to a broken leg. Looks like it's going to be one of those years.
So is anyone interested in buying the stat-tracker?
If I read it right it's $9.95I'm assuming then that the entire league gets it and it's good for the whole season.

Excerpts from recent editorials in the United States and abroad as compiled by the Associated Press:
Tampa (Fla.) Tribune
There is a quick way for our nation to help overwhelm Cuba's censorship and propaganda.
Simply allow Americans – the most effective ambassadors for democracy and free enterprise – to travel more easily to Cuba.
This can be done without the political firefight of eliminating the 50-year-old Cuban embargo, which greatly restricts trade and travel to Cuba. We think the embargo no longer serves a useful purpose. Indeed, it gives the Cuban government a scapegoat for its failed economic policies. But eliminating the embargo or allowing unrestricted travel to Cuba will require congressional approval, a political challenge.
In contrast, President Barack Obama by executive order can require general licenses be issued for all approved travel to Cuba.
The United States' tough trade and travel prohibitions unquestionably were necessary after Fidel Castro's communist takeover, when he confiscated property, ruthlessly suppressed opposition, sought to export revolution to Latin America and provided a base for the Soviet Union.
But the Cold War is over and the Soviet Union is gone. Cuba remains an authoritarian state, but its grip seems to be slipping. That control would be further eroded should Americans be allowed to spread the seeds of capitalism and freedom in a country whose people badly need them.
The Cincinnati Enquirer
There are economic arguments for expanding Medicaid – one reputable study says expansion would bring a $1.4 billion net gain to the state budget over eight years.
There are political arguments for it. One recent poll shows Ohioans overall favor it by 48 to 42 percent.
But the most compelling argument? It's just the right thing to do.
Medicaid is the health care plan for more than 2 million people in Ohio. Without it, they would need to pay out of their own pockets every time they saw a doctor, needed hospital care or prescription drugs. Most people on Medicaid don't earn enough income to buy health insurance, so it's unlikely they seek health care unless it's absolutely necessary.
But Medicaid doesn't cover everyone who needs help. Poor adults without kids typically aren't covered in Ohio. Others have jobs without health benefits and don't earn enough to buy it on their own. For these people, their health care plan comes down to this: just don't get sick.
Better health coverage for the poor also protects working families and Ohio businesses from taking on the cost of medical care that hospitals receive no direct payment for.
The Telegraph, London
The solution to Britain's energy problems could well be beneath our feet. Last week, IGas, one of the leading shale gas explorers, revealed that there may be as much as 172 trillion cubic feet of shale gas in the area that it has a license to explore in the northwest of England – equivalent to more than 50 years of UK usage.
The only way to exploit all this potential is to drill wells and "frack," and there the political challenges begin. Fears about the tremors that occurred when Cuadrilla carried out fracking in 2011 – a study by Durham University found that seismic events caused by fracking are actually "low compared to other manmade triggers" – led to a damaging one-year moratorium. The government and the industry have to reassure local communities that concerns will be listened to and that people's quality of life will not suffer if fracking goes ahead.
However, the news from IGas brings the hope that shale gas might revolutionize energy production, cut the need for imports and have geopolitical implications similar to the North Sea oil exploration of the late 1960s. It could help consumers, as it has done in the United States, by putting a cap on gas bills, and boost the labor market by creating an estimated 70,000 jobs.
Britain needs to make the most of this golden opportunity.

**UPDATE** -- The arrested suspects have been identified as 21-year-old Darrell Matthew, 18-year-old Jaquavious Francis, and 21-year-old Patrick Hooker.
All three face charges of Armed Burglary and Grand Theft Auto.
MANATEE COUNTY, Fla. - Three men have been arrested after an interstate police chase that ended in a Hillsborough County mall.
The suspects names have not been released yet.
According to the Manatee County Sheriff's Office, a deputy responded to a possible burglary report in the 3400 block of 68th Street Circle East north of Palmetto around noon Monday.
The deputy witnessed the suspects fleeing the scene in a vehicle. Deputies began pursuing the vehicle, which got on I-75 northbound.
At the Highway 60 exit in Brandon, the vehicle slid off the road and the suspects fled the vehicle on foot and ran into the Dillard's department store in the nearby mall.
The store was placed on lockdown and all employees were evacuated while authorities searched for the men. Three suspects were found and taken into custody.
The vehicle they were driving turned out to be stolen, according to deputies.
