Mayor Announces 6-Week Amnesty Program For Ticket Scofflaws
Mayor Rahm Emanuel announced Friday his plan for giving amnesty to scofflaws who have unpaid parking, red light and speed camera tickets–as well as other forms of debt.
Under the mayor's plan, the city would drop any penalty and interest accrued for any tickets issued before 2012. In other words, tickets would revert back to the original face value of the fine during a six-week period from November 1st through December 15th.
As reported by The Expired Meter, scofflaws owe the City of Chicago over $1.5 billion in unpaid parking, red light and speed camera violations.
The mayor also announced the city will rollout a new way for motorists to enter into a payment plan online even before penalty and fines kick in, which will help drivers avoid the financial pain when unpaid tickets double after a prescribed time.
Sun-Times: Red Light Camera Cash Too Lucrative To Kill Program
Chicago is dependent on the hundreds of millions of dollars of revenue generated through the controversial and disliked red light camera program according to the Chicago Sun-Times.
The newspaper reports the nation's largest red light camera program generated $285 million in ticket revenue since Mayor Rahm Emanuel first took office in 2011. And with Chicago's ongoing financial crisis, the city simply just can't afford to drop such a lucrative program–despite the corruption, lack of evidence of safety benefits, and the controversial shortened yellow lights.
Waukegan Offers Ticket Amnesty, Makes It Easier To Get Booted
That's the strategy the City of Waukegan seems to be using on north suburban motorists according to the Chicago Tribune.
First the carrot.
The town is offering it's third parking ticket amnesty since 1994 to try to get paid on about $3 million in unpaid tickets. Although the city has many tickets on their books that have increased with fines and penalties due to non-payment, Waukegan is willing to let scofflaws pay the original ticket amount plus 17%.
Many Questions But Few Answers At Red Light Camera Hearings
Transportation Commissioner Rebekah Scheinfeld stuck with the script.
At Tuesday's meeting of the Committee for Pedestrian and Traffic Safety, despite many questions from city council members during special hearings on the city's controversy generating red light cameras, aldermen never really got answers to many of their questions.
Inspector General Joseph Ferguson and Scheinfeld were invited by committee chairman Walter Burnett (27th) to testify Tuesday. Ferguson gave an oral summary of the Office of the Inspector General's recent investigation on enforcement anomalies reported in the media. According to Ferguson, it was the first time in 25 years the Inspector General has been asked to testify at a city council committee hearing.
Scheinfeld's opening statement was a history and defense of the city's RLC program, as well as an answer to the findings and recommendations of the OIG.
The commissioner claimed, based on Illinois Department of Transportation crash data, crashes at red light camera intersections have decreased 43% and fatalities were down 23% between 2005 and 2012 or 225 fewer crashes per year at those intersections.
Mayoral Candidate Calls For Moratorium On Red Light Cameras
Mayoral candidate Alderman Bob Fioretti (2nd), in light of the just released Inspector General report, is calling for a moratorium on all new red light camera installations.
The Office of the Inspector General released a report Friday highly critical of how the city has managed Chicago's red light camera program.
"The lack of oversight from the administration is appalling, and hopefully
this IG report will point CDOT in the right direction," said Fioretti in a statement. "We know from experience that privatization does not always mean that companies will do right by Chicagoans, and the administration failed us yet again in their obligation. I am calling for an immediate moratorium on any new red light cameras."
Tiny Percentage Of Suspicious Red Light Tickets Get Tossed
Just 126 of the nearly 16,000 Chicago red light camera tickets that were issued during mysterious spikes in RLC violations several years ago were found to be issued improperly according to a story in the Chicago Sun-Times.
After sifting through the data of millions of red light tickets the Chicago Tribune broke a story about unexplained spikes in violations which would start and then abruptly stop. The Chicago Department of Transportation had no idea of the existence of these tremendous explosions in ticketing until the newspaper brought it to their attention and no explanations for why they happened.
After the story exploded in the media Mayor Rahm Emanuel instructed the Department of Finance to send letters to the thousands of drivers ticketed during these flurries of violations, to allow them to request for a review of the video ticket.
City Yellow Lights Too Short, Judge Says Before Tossing Red Light Tickets
Some of Chicago's yellow lights are too short, according to an administrative law judge who said he's thrown out "60 to 70 percent" of red light camera tickets he's come across recently because of the discrepancy.
The city uses the state and federal standard of having yellow lights display for a minimum of three seconds at intersections. But an administrative law judge, who hears appeals from motorists ticketed by red light cameras, said during a hearing this week that he has seen evidence that yellow times are slightly beneath that at some Chicago intersections with red light cameras.
The hearing at 400 W. Superior lasted three hours Monday, after the city sent three lawyers and several department supervisors to defend five tickets being challenged by Barnet Fagel, a video forensic specialist who helps drivers fight red light and speed camera tickets.
Three attorneys, a law department supervisor, a public information officer and a Chicago Department of Transportation deputy director overseeing the city's traffic camera programs showed up to what normally would be a brief, attorney-free affair. Typically, drivers try to persuade administrative law judges that their ticket should be thrown out by presenting photos and other evidence.
But Monday, city attorneys Alexis Long and Tom Doran spent the first 30 minutes of the hearing challenging Fagel's expertise and his ability to testify in these matters on behalf of the motorists who were ticketed.

Waguespack Files Resolution, Demands Red Light Camera Hearings
Ald. Scott Waguespack is not screwing around this time–he wants formal hearings on the city's red light cameras.
At Wednesday's City Council meeting, Waguespack filed a resolution with 19 c0-sponsors demanding hearings on Chicago's beleaguered red light camera program.
"The resolution simply says you got to have a hearing on this," explained Waguespack.
Hearings would be held in the Committee on Transportation and the Public Way.
Waguespack and a handful of other alderman asked for hearings over a year ago after a Chicago Tribune story revealed an alleged bribery scheme between the city's RLC vendor, Redflex Traffic Systems and former Chicago Department of Transportation Deputy Commissioner John Bills. Bills has since been federally indicted.
At the time the aldermen felt it was time to give the program a hard look–but were ignored.
"We represent the people," said an agitated Waguespack. "They said 'go shove it to the people of the City of Chicago. It took a federal grand jury to get things going."
City Caves To Pressure, Will Review 9000 Red Light Camera Tickets
Since Sunday's Chicago Tribune story reporting mysterious spikes in red light camera violations several years ago, there's been pressure from aldermen and the media for a response from City Hall.
Late Wednesday, Chicago Department of Transportation Commissioner Rebekah Scheinfeld responded to the controversy with testimony in front of the city council's Committee on Pedestrian and Traffic Safety.
"The Mayor and CDOT take very seriously the validity of and public confidence in all of our safety programs, including the red light camera program," Scheinfeld said to begin her explanatory testimony. "Red light camera enforcement is designed to increase safety on Chicago's streets. Cities across the country, and throughout the world, have been using such technology for many years."
Motorist Goes 2 For 3 Against City In Red Light Camera Fight
Having writer Jon Yates bring attention to his red light camera woes in the pages of the Chicago Tribune seems to have really helped Jamal Norwood get some justice from the city.
As you may recall, Norwood received a red light camera ticket where the video seems to show him making a complete stop before turning right on red.
But despite contesting his ticket and pointing out he indeed stopped, the Administrative Law Judge who adjudicated his ticket upheld the violation.

NEW PORT RICHEY — Just eight seconds remained when James Grubb's arm shot over two defenders, sinking a shot and sealing Gulf's 75-73 victory Wednesday.
The Buccaneers played a close back-and-forth game against Wiregrass Ranch.
Gulf assistant Greg Nixon said his players, often take shots they shouldn't.
"We toned it down, played a good game," Nixon said. "We made good decisions."
It was obvious early the game would be tight. A free throw by Gulf's Edin Spijodic tied the score at 16 with 51.3 seconds remaining in the first quarter. Gage Folsom sank two free throws for the Bulls in those remaining seconds, pulling Wiregrass Ranch (2-3) ahead 18-16.
The halftime buzzer sounded just seconds after Joey Nickerson's 3-pointer sailed into the net and Gulf (5-2) took a four-point lead into the second half, the biggest advantage either team would have for the rest of the game.
Nixon said the biggest problem in the second half was getting the defense back on track. Wiregrass Ranch scored 21 in the third quarter but trailed 58-57.
Grubb sank a 3-pointer to end the third quarter. Gulf fans jumped to their feet cheering when referees signaled the basket would count, giving the Buccaneers a one-point lead.
The Bulls weren't done yet, though. Alex Walker made a 3-pointer that put Wiregrass Ranch up by four with 2:18 remaining in the game.
Wiregrass Ranch led 73-70 with less than a minute remaining. Grubb sank a field goal that drew the Buccaneers within one. A series of turnovers marred the next few possessions until Grubb's final two shots — a field goal and free throw — sealed Gulf's win.
Grubb led the Buccaneers with 27 points. Nickerson had 18.
DJ Ward led Wiregrass Ranch, scoring 17. Sammy Buzik had 12 points, and Folsom and Walker each had 11.

Labor ministers play down Cairns MP rebellion threat
The state government will fall if disappointed Cairns MP Rob Pyne withholds his vote from the minority Labor Government, Opposition Leader Lawrence Springborg bluntly summarised on Monday.
Mr Pyne resigned from Labor's left faction on the weekend, but remains Labor's MP for Cairns.
The MP was reported in The Australian newspaper on Monday saying the Queensland Government needed to let MP's vote against government legislation without the threat of being sacked from the party.
Mr Pyne resigned from Labor's left faction on the weekend, worried about what he describes as "big corporate" influence on Labor policy.
He said he would vote with the government in the first two-week sitting of state parliament.
"(But) I am not prepared to look any further than the next sitting of parliament," Mr Pyne has told The Australian.
Mr Springborg said Mr Pyne's comments showed Queensland's government was unhappy and on a knife's edge.
"If Rob Pyne carries through on his threat it will lead to the collapse of the government," Mr Springborg said.
"And this just proves how finely balanced the parliament is.
"It is an extraordinary thing for one of the Labor Party's own backbench members, going into the second year in office, to be talking about potentially leaving the Labor Party and sitting on the cross-benches."
However two government ministers on Monday morning said Mr Pyne's threat not to vote with the minority Palaszczuk government was a "normal state of affairs" for a passionate MP standing up for his electorate.
Education Minister Kate Jones and Main Roads Minister Mark Bailey said Mr Pyne's comments would be discussed by Labor MPs. Mr Pyne also opposes the Palaszczuk government's proposed liquor lockout laws and plans to ask for exemptions for some entertainment precincts, including that in Cairns.
Mr Bailey said Mr Pyne was not the first MP to be concerned about a new reform.
"And he's not the first local MP to stand up for his local area," Mr Bailey said.
"That's just a normal state of affairs."
Mr Bailey said the parliamentary committee examining Labor's proposed reforms to address alcohol-fuelled violence was due to report on February 8.
"Let's have a look at the evidence and consider that in full," he said.
Mr Bailey believed Mr Pyne would stay as a Labor MP.
"I have faith that Rob, who was elected as Labor MP, will remain with the Labor Government," he said.
Ms Jones said government MPs were happy to discuss any changes to the alcohol-fuelled violence legislation that Mr Pyne wanted to suggest for Cairns.
"I am happy to sit down and talk with Rob about any issues he believes should be changed in Cairns," Ms Jones said Monday morning.
Mr Bailey said the government's research showed their proposed amendments to the timing of last drinks would be effective.
"All the evidence shows that our alcohol-fuelled-violence reforms make it safer for patrons, it makes precincts more profitable because they are safer," he said.
Mr Bailey said that was shown after changes made in Newcastle and Melbourne.
The proposed legislation will be debated early in the first two-week parliamentary sitting for 2016, because Labor plans to have the changes in place by July 1, 2016.
Mr Pyne has not returned calls from Fairfax Media to clarify his concerns about "big corporate" impacts on Labor policy.
Labor holds government in Queensland's 89-seat parliament after winning 43 seats - one more than the LNP's 42 seats – and having the support of independent Speaker Peter Wellington.
North Queensland MP Billy Gordon, elected as a Labor MP but now an independent, supports the government on most legislation.
The two Katter's Australian Party MPs, Rob Katter and Shane Knuth, vote as a bloc in the 89-seat parliament.

Breast cancer is the second-leading cause of cancer death for Nevada women more than 40 years old, experts say, but most women in this high-risk age group do not take advantage of a state-financed program for free early screening, a procedure that could save their lives.
The Nevada State Health Division, using a grant from the Centers for Disease Control, 2 1/2 years ago began the Women's Health Connection, a program that offers uninsured and underinsured women 40 to 64 years old free breast and cervical cancer screenings.
Eligible women are sent a list of several providers who will perform an initial exam that is similar to an annual OB/GYN checkup. The women can then schedule their exams, and the doctor bills the program directly. In rural areas of the state, the program sends a trailer filled with medical equipment to conduct the exams.
A single woman can earn up to $20,125, an amount that rises when a woman has dependents.
Once a woman is enrolled in the program, she is eligible for life. Even if she takes a job where she is offered insurance or her income rises above the eligibility limits, the program is available to her immediately should she become eligible again, Hemmings said.
"We try to make it as easy as possible to be part of the program," she said.
Hemmings said the program is aimed at uninsured women 40 to 64, because that is the age when the occurrence of breast cancer begins to increase. If a woman does not discover breast cancer until she reaches 65 and is eligible for Medicare, the cancer is often already in the advanced stages, for which there is no known cure.
Program participants are allowed one exam per year, however if a lump is found, in between visits are allowed. Hemming said women often call after they find a lump in their breast and are in a panic. The program is usually able to get these women in to see a doctor within 48 hours.
Women 40 to 49 years old are not eligible to receive a mammogram unless something suspect shows up in the initial breast exam. Women 50 to 64 are given a free baseline mammogram even if there is no indication of a problem.
About 179,000 women in Nevada qualify for the Women's Health Connection services, Lyn Hemmings, program spokeswoman, estimates, but only 3,000 to 4,000 are signed up. The Women's Health Connection can handle at least four times that many.
"We pretty much have a carte blanche to screen as many women as we can," Hemmings said.
The program is still in the process of building up its rolls, a process that is hindered by a lack of funds for television and radio advertisements, Hemmings said. Referrals are made by Clark County Social Services, and the Women's Health Connection holds several special events each year during which initial exams are done in a mobile unit, Hemmings said.
Hemmings said the one thing that has impressed her the most during the 2 1/2-year life of the Women's Health Connection is how well educated women are about breast health. "I hardly ever meet anyone who says 'Why do I need this?' "
The Women's Health Connection, in addition to testing, is involved with educational pursuits, such as St. Rose Dominican Hospital's "Buddy Check" program, which encourages women to team up and remind each other to perform monthly self-exams. The program provides educational materials that are distributed to women who request information.
According to information compiled by the Women's Health Connection, when doctors detect breast cancer while it is confined to the breast, the woman's five-year survival rate is 93 percent. The key to getting those odds is early detection, the group said.
The breast cancer mortality rate would decrease by 30 percent if every woman over 50 followed screening guidelines, the group says.

Patients with atrial fibrillation undergoing cardioversion will be randomized to undergo transesophageal echocardiography or they will receive warfarin for 3 weeks with an international normalized ratio (INR) value between 2.0-3.0. Those who do not want to use warfarin will be given an approved new oral anticoagulant agent istead of warfarin for 3 weeks.
If thrombus is detected in left atrium or in left atrial appendage, no cardioversion will be performed. Other patients in the both groups will undergo electrical cardioversion. After the procedures all the patients will be given oral anticoagulant for at least 4 Weeks. All patients will have neurological examination and diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) at baseline and at postprocedural 7th day. Clinical and subclinical cerebral thromboembolic events detected by diffusion MRI will be recorded. Any bleeding events during this period will also be recorded.

text: My husband and I met a year ago on the island of Palawan in the Philippines while each of us was taking a sabbatical from our careers in London and New York. We spent the next 6 months travelling around the world, from Sri Lanka in Southeast Asia, trekking the Himalayas in Nepal, exploring history in the Middle East in Israel and Jordan and lastly catching a safari and some history in Tanzania and Ethiopia. At the end of our travels, I decided to move to London and 6 months later we decided to elope to Montego Bay, Jamaica- a new destination for both of us. We love to travel and be spontaneous – which is why we decided to seize the moment and elope! The elope dress was perfect for a beach wedding! It is formal enough for indoor/formal outdoor pictures, yet fun and flirty enough to capture the spirit of eloping, especially on a beach. I loved the dress and it went perfectly for my special day.

Religious freedom report criticizes Egypt and Obama
lost in DC West Jordan, UTApril 28, 2011 10:01 p.m.
For BO to designate a country a CPC he'd have to know something about foreign countries. His foreign policy mirror's bush's except for his groveling before despots because he doesn't know what else to do. He's totally clueless.
John Pack Lambert of Michigan Ypsilanti, MIApril 28, 2011 9:36 p.m.
The Obama administrations failure to adequately oppose the attempts of certain Islamic countries to impose a world-wide ban on speaking ill of Islam should disturbe people more than it does.
Religious freedom has been seriously undermined by the Obama administrations failures to proactively lobby against such.
Blasphemy laws do not just hurt non-Muslims. They are as likely to be used as clubs by one Islamic group to impose its views and interpretation on others. If we fail to speak up more forcefully many more people will suffer the fate of the Amadiyah Muslims of Pakistan.
John Pack Lambert of Michigan Ypsilanti, MIApril 28, 2011 9:31 p.m.
It would help if people recognized that this article merely reports what the commission said in its reports. There may be legitmate reasons to not list countries that torture and murder people for having what the country views as unacceptable religious views, but the article is merely saying that this commission criticized the failure to list.
Some of the complainst about this article seem to be a case of shooting the messenger.
John Pack Lambert of Michigan Ypsilanti, MIApril 28, 2011 9:28 p.m.
The work of this organization is in line with the 12th article of faith. If we claim the privalege of worshipping Almighty God and grant all others the privalege to worship who, where or what they may, then we should be working to promote the right of people to worhip freely in every country on the globe, and if we do not than such words are just empty rhetoric.
These are the most important foriegn policy issues, and it is sad that the Ambassado-at-large for Religious liberty is not given the same rank as other ambassadors at large.
2 bits Cottonwood Heights, UTApril 28, 2011 1:49 p.m.
I seriously would not be surprised at all to see the Administration just sit on their hands and watch as the UN uses it's "Responsibility to protect" doctrine to crack down on nations that want to preserve their religious freedom. Worse yet... I would not be surprised to see us, and our military, get pulled into these attacks and crack downs on people and nations that want religious freedom, especially if these people who are in the religious minority.
I suspect there will come a time shortly where Israel is under attack from her neighbors... and we will just sit idly by, if not PARTICIPATE in the attempted destruction of Israel... and just watch as religious minorities are wiped out in Middle Eastern nations.
The administration just shows no interest in protecting religious freedom. Their only priority and interest seems to be... "Don't offend Muslims at all costs".
jsf Centerville, UTApril 28, 2011 1:15 p.m.
Give the guy a break, he sent every cdc country an ipod with jeremiah's speeches.
BH Tremonton, UTApril 28, 2011 12:29 p.m.
No one should be surprised by findings reported in this article. Obama has been very clear in his attitude towards the value of religious freedom.
Everyone who cherishes freedom, whether religious or not, should be gravely concerned about the trend away from valuing religious freedom. Religious freedom is as important to all freedoms, as a single leg is to a three-legged stool. One only needs to look at countries like Iran, Pakistan, and China to understand this.
it is frightening to have a president of the United States, the one country which should be a standard for the world of what freedom should look like, who does not hold great value in religious freedom.
Michael De GrooteApril 28, 2011 11:04 a.m.
For those who are interested in seeing just how bad things are in the CPCs and the countries recommended to be CPCs, the full report is available now on the USCIRF website (the link is at the beginning of the article).
Also, if you haven't clicked on the article's map graphic, you should take a look at it.
The report, by the way, was dedicated this way:
"The 2011 Annual Report is dedicated to the memory of Shahbaz Bhatti, the Pakistani Federal Minister for Minorities Affairs. Shahbaz was a courageous advocate for the religious freedoms of all Pakistanis, and he was assassinated on March 2 by the Pakistani Taliban for those efforts."

If this bipartisan report is a surprise to the faithful Obama_defenders out there, or is denied outright... they need to look at what's going on around the world, and that Obama and America is doing NOTHING to prevent abuse of religious people/groups. Consider pulling your head out of the sand on this one and take a look at reality. Obama does GREAT on some things internationally... supporting religious freedom is just not one of them... admit it!
He doesn't have to be great at EVERYTHING. Maybe this just isn't his top priority right now. Just because he's not great at THIS ONE THING... isn't the end of the world!... I hope.
dumprake Washington, UTApril 28, 2011 10:01 a.m.
Marxists have always been hostile to religion. Obama or Hillary or anybody else in this administration "saying" the right things, does not overcome the fact that this administration is fairly hostile to religion and religious freedom. Their acts speak much louder than their false words.
jsf Centerville, UTApril 28, 2011 9:38 a.m.
When Obama was running for president he promised to label the Armenian Genocide a genocide. Each year he has refused to do so as President.
TMR Santa Monica, CAApril 28, 2011 8:19 a.m.
This article is unfair. Not listing certain countries on the CDC is a diplomatic tactic, not a statement of Obama's lack of commitment to international religious rights. Where is the counterpoint DN? A little more nuanced journalism would be nice.
Chickenchaser Centralia, WAApril 28, 2011 8:07 a.m.
How many of these mean spirited CPCs receive U.S.aid with no strings attached?
Liberal Ted Salt Lake City, UTApril 28, 2011 7:52 a.m.
obama is too busy taking vacations and thinking of how to redistribute the wealth to his buddies and foreign nations.
We're still not even to the 8% unemployment that he promised borrowing and spending $5 Trillion was going to fix.
He promised to get us out of Iraq, we're still there. He promised to get us out of Afghanistan, we're still there. He promised not to meddle in foreign countries, we're in Libya, Korea, Germany, Japan, Philippines, Columbia, Mexico, Pakistan, Georgia, Russia, China just to name a few. Yet he stood by when Iran massacred it's people while Syrians are murdered by their government, when China cracked down on its people.
Do we have to invade countries when tyrant governments murder their people. Well that's up to us to decide. Should we at least say something about these violations? Absolutely! Why not speak up against crimes? Against Murder? Against those who take away freedom and make slaves out of humans?
Remember we didn't get our freedom until people spoke up and said something about it. We didn't get freedom without other nations "interfering" in other peoples business.
Mountanman Hayden, IDApril 28, 2011 7:39 a.m.
@ FDRfan. Remember that it was Hillary Clinton during the last campaign that started this birther issue with Obama during her debates with Obama! I agree that it is silly and a waste of time but it was fellow liberal Hillary who was enlightened enough to start it all! She also warned us that Obama was unprepared and unqualified to lead this nation! According to recent polls, most Americans now agree with Hillary on this!
FDRfan Sugar City, IDApril 28, 2011 7:13 a.m.
We don't have time to devote to this silly stuff. It is far more important to address the birther and college worthiness issues. We are too enlightened for this.
OHBU Columbus, OHApril 28, 2011 6:44 a.m.
Give me a break, it is not our responsibility to fix the entire world. Obama's administration is currently engaged in trying to set up free, democratic governments in Iraq, Afghanistan, Egypt and Libya. In addition, they have to use as much pressure as possible against Iran and North Korea to ward off the threat of nuclear attack. We don't have that much more diplomatic leverage to give. Oh yeah, and he's trying to steer our own country back on course after the disastrous policies of the previous administration. Besides, if he dedicated a staff to investigate and make recommendations for this NGO's report, I'm sure it would only be construed as a waste of taxpayer dollars.
ECR Burke, VAApril 28, 2011 5:39 a.m.
So sad that the Mormon Times and the Deseret News have found yet another subject by which to criticize the president. In their 2010 annual report, USCIRF criticized the president, and Secretary Clinton for using the term "freedom of worship" and quote both of them.
In China, the president said, We do not seek to impose any system of government on any other nation, but we also don't believe that the principles that we stand for are unique to our nation. These freedoms of expression and worship - of access to information and political participation - we believe are universal rights.
In her December 14, 2009 address on human rights at Georgetown University, Secretary Clinton said, "To fulfill their potential, people must be...free to worship, associate, and to love in the way they choose." She also called "for the rights to express oneself and worship freely" in China. In
her January 21, 2010 Internet freedom speech she said, "We must work to advance the freedom of worship online just as we do in other areas of life."
Is "worship" a bad thing? I suppose it is different than religion because it is done by an individual. Is that bad?
My2Cents Kearns, UTApril 28, 2011 3:34 a.m.
I don't think the US or Obama can list any country on a CDC without listing the US among those listed. The US national security agency's, about 6 now, are among the worst offenders of all freedoms, religious and civil.
Can't see that this list is really of any value anyway, as we have no right to meddle in other nations policies and religious practices. It's not like there has been a resurrection of Nazism. Some nations just have different religious preferences that is nobody's business, unless you are a meddler.
toosmartforyou Farmington, UTApril 27, 2011 11:38 p.m.
A report criticizing OBama. Gosh, is that really news? I'd be really shocking to see the current administration do anything of a statesman-like quality. I'd cheer for them, should they ever do such.

LXer: Mini Review: Open Source inHarvard Business Review
Published at LXer:
This month'sHarvard Business Review features a case study of a company debating whether to open source its software. Here's a mini review of the article.Should KMS Choose Open Source? While bored in an airport recently, I pored over the magazines at a newsstand and noticed that the new Harvard Business Review (April 2008) has an article on open source. Curious to know how the corporate types view open source, I got hold of the issue - at my local library rather than paying the Harvard-style $16 cover price - and read it. Here are my impressions.

Discussion in 'Fly Fishing Forum' started by sbr, Mar 1, 2014.
I have a copy of this...pretty thorough but finding a cheap copy might be difficult, but well worth the look. Try a local library too!
Also, not sure if you have poked around but the entomology forum here is pretty solid and stocked with great images.
"Hatches II" By Al Caucci and Bob Nastasi. This is one of the great, signal works on aquatic entomology and Mayflies. Heavy emphasis for fly fishermen.
Hi sbr-
Aquatic Insect Recognition provides what you want.
Many flyfishing books will have the basics on the life cycles and distinguishing characteristics of the insect types you mention
Consider books by Rick Hafele
Such as
An Angler's Guide to Aquatic Insects and Their Imitations
You are certainly welcome, sbr. My pleasure.

Presenting my imagery from the Christopher Esber show at MBFWA – and what a location! Out in the backwaters of Marrickville, this gem of a venue really brought a certain drama to the clean stylings of Christophers latest collection. Sinewy models floated down long industrial runways to pulsing music, sporting creamy and muted tones – with real 90's feel – aided by the shiny straight hair do's… and these ASOS heels!! All in all, a very cool collection. One that initially left only a small impression of me (being drawn to sparkle and colour!) – but upon reflection and deeper consideration, really felt like something I wanted to invest in. I'd love to wear a whole load of these pieces – but styled in my own way – with bolder accessories, denim and vibrant heels.
Congratulations Christopher on this beautiful and elegant show!

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Day one of Google's (GOOGL) annual developer conference in San Francisco answered many questions.
At the same time, the search giant affirmed many assumptions investors and analysts might have had about its ambitions: they're too scattered. More than anything this perceived lack of focus, which mirrors the fragmentation of its Android operating system, is at the heart of the many questions that still remain with Google's future.
That said, investors applauded what Google had to say Wednesday, sending the stock up 2.43%, closing for the day at $585.93, up 4.5% for the year to date. But can it last?
Wednesday we read reports of Google's Android TV, Google's set-top box aimed at competing against existing devices from Apple (AAPL) and Amazon (AMZN). But it's not groundbreaking.
There's also no clear path to suggest Google can emerge the victor in an already crowded space. Google is following market incumbents, not leading. Not to mention, any success Android TV enjoys will have to come at the expense of Google's already-popular Chromecast, which will be cannibalized.
Google also unveiled several Android-powered smartwatches. By partnering with LG and Samsung (SSNLF), Google is hoping to make a dent in a market where there are already several key players.
Both LG's and Samsung's watches will be available for order immediately. But Google stopped short of saying when they will actually be shipped, which suggests to me they are not yet in production. Some observers have -- justifiably -- asked, what's the point? But the point is clear.
This has all the makings of a clever tactic to get impatient would-be smartwatch consumers to pre-order now, which may take the pent-up demand away from Apple's highly anticipated iWatch. It is for this reason that Google said a third Motorola-version smartwatch will go on sale later this summer.
While this may make some sense from a competitive point of view, it also signals the lack of differentiation the devices are likely to have when compared Apple's iWatch. Recall, Apple has met with the Food and Drug Administration to determine the FDA's interest in regulating the iWatch's capabilities.

Justice written question – answered on 20th February 2012.
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice
(1) if he will place in the Library (a) pre-qualification criteria and (b) acceptable non-price criteria used in the tender process for the Commercial Framework Agreement to deliver language services in the criminal justice system;
(2) pursuant to the answer of 7 December 2011, Official Report, column 310W, on Applied Language Solutions, if he will place in the Library a copy of the financial assessment of Applied Language Solutions.
In accordance with EU directives, questions and requirements in the pre-qualification questionnaire (PQQ) sought to address the financial and technical capacity of companies seeking to provide the services.
The Procurement for the Language Services Framework was undertaken via a Competitive Dialogue Process. The project board set the non-price evaluation criteria as follows:
|Percentage weighting
|Assurance of Supply
Thereafter, the deciding factor was affordability and price. We would accept the lowest priced, affordable and compliant tender, ie there was a minimum threshold for the non-price criteria above which the lowest priced tender would be selected. This threshold was set at 80% (representing an "acceptable" tender standard). Any tenders received which did not meet this level following Invitation to submit Detailed Solution were rejected.
The financial assessment of Applied Language Solutions contains information that is commercially confidential therefore cannot be provided.

'Tis the season to marathon endless holiday movies! As much as we love the classics, we can't help but want more, more, more! So, we've come up with some could-be holiday movie remakes -- starring some of our favorite celebs -- that we'd love to add to our Christmas wish list...
As children we were all terrified by Disney's villains. Their evil cackles rattled our still-developing brains, and haunted our nightmares along with their songs, which gleefully reveled in their bad intentions and malevolent plots. Yet looking back, these vicious villains are a beloved part of our childhood, from their cruelly pointed toes to their audacious hairdos.
Following the success of his 'Star Wars' trilogy, George Lucas chose to collaborate with Ron Howard on a family-friendly fantasy film about a little but brave man forced by fate into a grand adventure. The result was 1988's 'Willow.' Ultimately the film earned mixed reviews and was deemed only a moderate box office success, yet it became a beloved touchstone of countless childhoods.

Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom's Mansion Up for Sale
ABC Digital
Updated at
(LOS ANGELES) — You can now buy Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom's 8,000-sq-ft. mansion for only $5.499 million.
Following the Kardashian's decision last month to file for divorce from her husband of four years, their former love nest is now up for sale on Redfin.
The "new" listing that has been active just one day says the home, built in 2003, is on .75 acres of land with seven bedrooms and eight bathrooms. Home owner association fees are $595 a month.
The 23 pictures on the listing show the gorgeous pool, winding staircase and huge kitchen you may recognize from episodes of Keeping Up With the Kardashians.
The text attached to the pictures says, "Breathtaking Mediterranean Villa within the estates section of guard-gated Mulholland Park" and "The luxurious master suite showcases jet-liner city views. Custom built-ins and a mosaic tiled fireplace to enhance the room. The spa-like master bath has dual sinks, a spa tub, and shower with personalized temperature settings and music capability, 3 custom built walk-in closets complete the room."
Kardashian, 29, called it quits in the middle of December after months of alleged drug use and infidelity on the part of Odom.

Advances in genetic mapping are making it easier, as well as much more complicated, to develop new fruit and vegetable verities.
The entire genetic fingerprint for a tomato is available now, and science is getting to that level on a lot of other commodities, said Dan Burdett, president of vegetable seeds for North America for Syngenta.
"There's a lot of technology around genetic fingerprinting," Burdett said. "When you can track, especially a consumer trait, back to a molecular marker, then you can really develop to consumer demand, and can steer product development."
Genetic marking is what got Syngenta back into the lettuce business after cutting its lettuce product lines 15 years ago. Lettuce had become commoditized, and because of its open pollination, there weren't a lot of opportunities for seed companies to innovate.
"Now we can do genetic fingerprinting on varieties, so you can have intellectual property," Burdett said. "Now you can get patents and properties, so that part of the industry is attractive again."
In December, Syngenta purchased two California-based seed companies, which should help it develop more products for California and Arizona lettuce growers.
Pybas Seed Co., Santa Maria, is strong in iceberg lettuce and celery, and Synergene Seed and Technology, Salinas, is primarily a romaine and baby broccoli seed developer, Burdett said.
It'll take a few years incorporating Syngenta's competencies with these companies' specialties before a big change is realized, Burdett said.
St. Louis-based Monsanto Co. is also working with some newer acquisitions, De Ruiter Seeds for greenhouses and other protected growing, Seminis for field vegetables, and Western Seed.
David Stark, vice president of consumer traits for Monsanto, said molecular markers are just starting to be applied in a big way in the vegetable industry.
"I'm really excited about the strides we can make just in breeding," Stark said. "But we'll have more biotech traits in the future."

DETROIT -- For opposing hitters, Justin Verlander can be a handful.
On Friday night, Verlander left Gordon Beckham holding a handful of splintered wood.
With one out in the eighth inning and an 0-1 count on Beckham, Verlander dialed up an inside fastball that was clocked at 100 mph. Beckham checked his swing, but the ball hit his bat and sawed it off, sending the barrel flying.
Verlander was asked how often he has seen something like that.
"A broken bat on a check-swing?" Verlander said. "Not many. If any. I don't know that I have."
Leyland said he wasn't a bit surprised when Verlander started creeping toward -- and hitting -- triple-digits on the radar gun in the eighth inning.
"I've managed Justin long enough to know now when he smells it, something like that has a chance to happen," Leyland said. "It didn't really surprise me a bit. I don't pay much attention to a broken bat, but I do pay attention to, you know, 99, 100 in the eighth inning.
"But to be honest with you, I'm kind of used to that."
Verlander's assessment of the pitch and the broken bat?
"That was fun," he said. "It really got me pumped up when the crowd got into it after that."
Verlander said the crowd fired him up to the point that he wanted to go back to the same pitch. Catcher Alex Avila thought otherwise.
"I really wanted to throw another fastball," Verlander said, "but my judgment was a little obscured there. Alex called a curveball, and I was like, 'OK, that's probably the right pitch.' "
It was. Beckham hit a pop-up to Miguel Cabrera in foul territory for the second out of the inning.

We've been ignoring the constant reports that Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are splitting up for the umpteenth time, mostly because actions speak louder than words. And when Brad passes up a $5 million payday to take his kids trick-or-treating, that doesn't really equate to problems at home, dig?
Life & Style says the prolific papa ditched an invite to the Oct. 31 Grand Prix Ball Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates, which was a Formula 1 charity event for clean-water organization Fresh2o. It attracted performers such as Beyonce, Timbaland and a Steve Tyler-less Aerosmith, but Brad decided to dress up as Yo Gabba Gabba's DJ Lance Rock for his kids instead.
"We were told he would be attending as the guest of the Tourism Development & Investment Company," Global Event Management rep James Magee told Life & Style. "But he was a no-show, and nobody seemed to know why."
Of course they wouldn't. Of course they wouldn't.

304 Tasting Notes
Today, I am not feeling well. Today, will be a honeybush day. I started my day off with Cinnamon Roll Honeybush. It smells just like a cinnamon roll! I don't know how Frank does it, but all of his HB blends are just fantastic. A six minute brew yielded a mild, tasty cuppa.
Part of my saturday sampler day. Ground up cinnamon and plum. Time to break put the Chatsford infuser basket. Tart, cinnamon. On first sip, I did not think it was very good, but I continued to sip and found it to be tasty and a nice edition to evening tea choices.
At first glance of the tea description…rose petals ugh…smoke ugh! But I am pleasantly surprised at the layers of flavor. First, you smell the smokiness, but it is not the over the top smokey, just a slight smoke. Second, you taste a delicate backdrop of black teas and then on the back of your tongue the cream of a rose. I have not added milk or sugar this time.
Smooth. I have missed drinking this…added a bit of sugar crystals in brew basket. Three minute infusion. Yum.
I love this tea. Smooth, comforting, takes milk really well. If you have trouble enjoying this tea, try making it with 9 ounces of water instead of 6 and a brew time of 2 minutes. I do make this in a small teapot, which I feel adds depth to the brew. Once I stumbled on this ratio, my love for this tea grew. AND you gotta love the monkey!
Daughter brought this to me over the weekend…a blend of three teas…three is my favorite number. The verdict, it is ok. I only brewed this two minutes and I think that was enough time to being out the three favors. Will I buy it again? No, but it is nice for a surprise:)
