Aspendos is an ancient city in the Belikıs Village of the Serik District of Antalya, which has a worldwide reputation for its amphitheater. 8 km from Antalya. Aspendos in the east, BC. Founded by Akalar in the 10th century, the ancient city is one of the rich and rich cities. The ancient theater of the symbol of Aspendos was founded by the Romans in the 2nd century AD.
The region is one of the first cities to repay money in its name. It is called Estvediys in the first few months. This name, which is of Anatolian origin, is shown as proof that the history of the city is based on very old ones. It was established at the point where Köprüçayı reached the plain from the mountainous region.
He owes it so much and has been kept on hand by all the civilizations that lived there throughout history, owed to the trade route he is on, and to the neighboring city. In addition, the surrounding lake has been extremely fertile. Economically, wealth and richness are partly due to agriculture and abundant salt.
Thanks to the convenient transportation and agricultural products obtained from here and the salt was sent to Mediterranean markets, it became one of the most popular cities in a short time. Some historians refer to horses breeding in this region as the hippest horses of Roman civilization. It is also reported that furniture produced from lemon trees in this region is also used in Roman palaces. In the same way the wine and grain products of the region are also held for the elite of the city and are found to be recipients of high wages. It is known that carpets and rugs produced in Aspendos are among the most popular gift items among the nobility.
It has been thanks to the Seljuks that it has been able to survive until this day, with its dizzying history, all the city that has grown up. Although the ancient theater was used as a caravanserai during the Seljuk period, it was a place where the sultans stayed. In addition, thanks to the advanced architectural knowledge of the Seljuks, repairs and renovations have been seen and strengthened so that they have been able to survive for many years without compromising.
It is possible to observe the repair marks from the Seljuk period on the outside of the Aspendos theater. Aspendos, visited by Mustafa Kemal Atatürk in 1930, can continue to be a center of attraction in terms of history and touristic thanks to the directives given for the repair, reuse and evaluation of its immediately damaged parts.
There is a mythological story of the historical theater with the capacity that 15 thousand people can sit on. According to Riva, Marcus Aurelius, the King of the Devil, declared that he would give his daughter the architect who would make the city the most beautiful. The king, having difficulty deciding between the architects of the historical water arches and the two architects who built the ancient theater, says that he will divide his daughter into two. On top of this, the architect who built Aspendos declares that he has given up. The emperor gives her daughter to Aspendos' architect because she believes her daughter will really love her.
The words "to the gods of the country and the royal family …" are the family words of the brothers Curtius, the sponsors of the work. On top of the niches on the stage part is a relief of Dionisos, the god of wine and theater. The ancient theater, which was used as a caravanserai during the Seljuk period, is visited by hundreds of thousands of visitors every year because it is one of the best preserved buildings that can be seen as sunny.
Today, this historic theater is still showing concerts and various games. Natural acoustics are so architectural excellence that the voice of someone speaking on stage can be heard even by those sitting in the back row.
Ancient theater is an ancient city with an aqueducts, agora, basilica, monumental fountain.

Metro will dispatch new mobile patrols to beef up security around parking garages.
Beginning next week, commuters might seeMmetro transit police on golf carts called "gators." The vehicles are part of a new program to increase security in and around Metro's parking garages.
Metro Transit Police Chief Michael Taborn said the initiative works much like a neighborhood watch program.
"Having additional eyes and ears at these facilities provides an important tool in our efforts to reduce crime and prevent property theft," he said.
Both Transit Police and Metro employees will be dispatched on "gators." The patrols will be assigned to select stations based on crime trends and areas of particular focus as determined by the police department, according to a Metro press release.
Patrols will be unannounced and shifts will rotate to deter criminals from guessing when the facilities are being monitored.
Drivers should also never let their guard down.
"We remind customers to make it hard on thieves by always locking their vehicle and securing all valuables, such as GPS devices and loose change," Taborn said.

Workplace wellness an issue for firms of all sizes
By AdvocateDaily.com Staff
Small firms can take the lead on workplace wellness, Mississauga real estate and immigration lawyer Jia Junaid tells AdvocateDaily.com.
Junaid, principal of Atlas Law, says it's great to see larger corporations doing their bit to reduce the stigma around mental health problems, but they shouldn't be the only ones acting on the issue. That's especially true in the legal profession, where the bulk of the industry is populated by lawyers at small firms, she adds.
"You see big corporate firms with wellness centres that aren't as feasible for us. But what we can do is to recognize that this industry can take a big toll on lawyers and their staff. Large or small, firms should do what they can," Junaid says.
She recently instituted a mental health day policy at the firm, allowing all staff to take off up to two days a month, no questions asked.
"We've all probably felt overwhelmed at some point, and called work with a little lie about being sick, which can cause guilt and break down trust between employers and employees," Junaid says.
"It's not common in the workplace that you can pick up the phone and say you need a break without any stigma attached, but we're trying to change that."
There is no shortage of studies suggesting that mental health and addiction problems are prevalent in the legal profession.
"We are dealing with very complex issues that can have a huge impact on the lives of our clients, but it's not very easy to go home and discuss what's going on," Junaid says.
However, it's also important to remember that lawyers are not the only ones affected, she says. At Atlas Law, the firm's law clerks are often under intense pressure due to its high-volume real estate practice.
"It can be wearing on them too, but they're left out of all the commentary," Junaid says. "I've been in roles as an articling student and a junior lawyer where I can remember what that feels like, and as a young employer, I need to honour and appreciate them."
She hopes the new policy serves as a release valve to prevent problems further down the road.
"If you have staff who are burnt out, they don't work as effectively, and they make more errors, which can be disastrous for the law firm," Junaid says. "Ultimately, if they leave, you're going to spend thousands of dollars searching for and training someone new.
"But if you recognize how people work, and take proactive measures, you can do something to change those outcomes," she adds.
Junaid says concerns about misuse of programs like hers are typically overblown by employers.
"When you treat employees with respect and like adults, they take a lot more ownership over their own work," she says. "If your employer shows that it cares about you, then you're more likely to care about your employer. That shouldn't be a novel concept, but sometimes it seems like it is."
Just a few months into the new scheme, Junaid says the firm is already reaping the rewards.
"Our clerks are happier, which means our clients are happier, and that is better for the whole business," she says.

My interest in the pyramids of Egypt began in 1987. On my birthday that year, a friend gave me a book "The Seven Wonders of the World" by Werner Ekschmitt. The last chapter deals with the only remaining wonder, the Cheops pyramid on Egypt's Giza Plateau.
My engineer's curiosity was aroused because there seemed to be so many questions and so few answers. I just couldn't get over the fact that we can fly to the moon and explore the depths of the oceans, but we can't answer so many basic technical questions about the most exhaustively studied historical monument of all times.
The book contained references to the German Archaeological Institute (GAI) and its director, Prof. Dr. Rainer Stadelmann, to whom I soon wrote, expressing my interest. At the same time, I began analyzing the pyramids, as of 1989 by computer looking for tell-tale signs, the fingerprints always left behind by the designer and builders of any large construction. In the early 90s I began developing a computer-based study focusing on the knowledge of the ancient Egyptians and the means available to them to conduct their work on various monuments.
(In September 1997 I gave a speech on this subject during the "Ordo et Mensura" conference at the Deutsches Museum in Munich, organized by Dr. Dieter Ahrens and Dr. Dr. Rolf Rottländer of the University of Tübingen. The SPEECH, also serves to refute the Pi, Pythagorean and Star-Shaft hypotheses relating to the Cheops pyramid.)
Because of my interest in the technical aspects of archaeological issues, I have supported and initiated a number of projects and studies throughout the 90s, including the Siwa Oracle-Temple computer survey, the UPUAUT PROJECT, the ventilation of the Cheops pyramid and the dating of Nazca geoglyphs in Peru. As a further private initiative, I set up the UPUAUT FOUNDATION, a specialized high tech source for digital conservation and field work improvements.
In connection with those endeavors, I have secured the necessary funding and sponsoring for such projects from companies like Compaq, Gore, Port-Escap, Mäurer & Wirz, Autodesk, Datapath, LTG, Helios and ABC Cam-Tech, to all of whom I remain gratefully indebted.
Above all, since my on-site investigation of Cheops ended in summer 1993, I have continued to conduct extensive computer analyses of the data, to further refine the equipment especially the robotics required to advance our exploration of the Great Pyramid, and to actively promote that exploration. I remain convinced that, given the opportunity, we will soon be able to solve the remaining mysteries of Cheops.
In 1990, Prof. Stadelmann of the GAI made a visit to Munich and I finally had an opportunity to show him my work. He seemed both surprised and impressed by how much my computer analysis could tell about the construction of the pyramids, about the possibilities of mathematical visualization, and the inherent potential of the high-tech approach.
Prof. Stadelmann's reaction to my work encouraged me to make a trip to Cairo, which I finally did, only three days before the outbreak of the Gulf War in 1991. My first visit to the Giza Plateau not only made me forget the geo-political implications of the high-tech warfare soon raging not far away, it was to change my life.
As I walked around the plateau I was astonished by the fact that there were bits of evidence strewn everywhere invaluable clues to how the pyramids had been constructed. I was struck by the wealth of evidence available to the eye of an engineer. I was moved by a feeling of encountering kindred spirits. Oh, nothing otherworldly, mind you. These ancient Egyptians simply seemed to have taken an approach to their tasks with which I felt very much at home.
But I was also shocked because the evidence I perceived was constantly being lost and destroyed not just by the slow processes of gradual erosion, but swiftly, daily, right before my eyes, by the masses of tourists whose feet, guides and camels were scattering and crushing a wealth of priceless clues and information. From that moment I resolved to do something about it, to try to prevent the ongoing loss and to make a contribution to solving the riddles.
This was also the first time I would encounter the hordes of mystics, spiritualists and esoterics who conduct groups and services in and around the Cheops pyramid. Later such groups were to provide a permanent source of conflict as my work at the site proceeded.
After my visit to Giza in 1991, I managed to meet up with Prof. Stadelmann at the offices of the GAI in Cairo. I suggested conducting an investigation of the socalled "air shafts" of Cheops. I was convinced that the shafts mark the first construction phase of the pyramid. They constitute basic elements of great importance. Put simply, a stone structure of such magnitude, built up in layers over a period of many years, is a sufficiently gargantuan undertaking to daunt any builder. But adding diagonal shafts through such a structure so complicates the task that it becomes a builder's nightmare. The builders must have ascribed great significance to the shafts, otherwise they would never have let themselves in for such a massive constructional headache.
Throughout my investigations
on site, I was never looking specifically for hidden chambers or treasure
as has often been alleged. I was simply determined to apply common sense
and solid engineering data to solving the riddles presented by those shafts.
What purpose did they originally serve?
At the time of our discussion in Cairo, Prof. Stadelmann was not yet aware that modern technology could make such an investigation possible. As a result, he was immediately taken by the idea and proposed that we embark on a joint venture project.
I returned to Munich and began preparing a project definition, which I soon sent to the GAI. I suggested using a small robot to investigate the so-called "air shafts". I included the initial design and drawings of the robot, as well as specifications of the overall logistics and team which would be necessary. Even at this early stage I anticipated that the steeply inclined (45 degrees) upper southern shaft might be relatively free of debris and thus easily negotiable, but that the upper northern shaft, much less steep (32 degrees), might be badly clogged and thus, that a larger clearing and cleaning operation could become necessary.
I also began refining the robot design, based on my observations in Giza, and started building those parts of the robot which were essential to the task.
While still in Cairo, Prof. Stadelmann and I had agreed on a sensible division of labor: I would handle the technical preparations of the project; the GAI would secure all the necessary permits in Egypt.
Throughout the latter half of 1990 I was surprised not to receive any response to my project proposal from Prof. Stadelmann, but during my next visit to Giza, in January 1992, he did arrange a contact with the Giza Plateau Inspectorate, through which I was granted permission by Director Zahi Hawass to climb the pyramid, accompanied by an inspector.
My objective was to find the outlet of the upper southern shaft which had been lost and forgotten since the early 19th century and to inspect the Caviglia Tunnel, at the bottom of the upper northern shaft.
At last, the big day arrived I was to climb Cheops for the first time! With the inspector, I ascended via the southwest corner of the pyramid. On the way up, I noticed that the stone was badly eroded, porous and broken, but in many places it seemed to have been worn smooth. The explanation of this little puzzle was quite simple: this has always been the route of ascent favored by unauthorized climbers, because the southwest corner of Cheops can be directly observed neither from the Inspectorate nor from the police station, both of which are located near the north corners of the pyramid.
Based on the extensive computer analysis I had made of Cheops, I was able to find what I was looking for on the first attempt the "lost" outlet of the upper southern shaft! It was an auspicious beginning.
Later I also investigated the Caviglia Tunnel at the lower end of the upper northern shaft and made photographs of sand deposits in the shaft, convincing me that, because of bends along its path upward, the shaft was twisted.
Afterwards I discussed these findings with Prof. Stadelmann, who was very excited. But it was also during this meeting that Prof. Stadelmann confided that he had some "headaches" with our project. He said the Egyptian authorities had granted permission for the proposed project, but that he had "inadvertently" offered to include installation of a ventilation system in the upper shafts of the pyramid as part of our project.
I told him that I did not see any great problems in including this in the project definition and offered to take care of planning and organizing such a system. I also promised to find sponsors for the undertaking and secure the necessary material and equipment.
The Giza Inspectorate provided me data they had collected over a two-year period on the humidity and temperature levels within the pyramid, and on the numbers of visitors to it.
Elated with my discoveries and the prospects of a fascinating project, I returned to Germany. I immediately set to work developing and building the first, as yet unnamed robot, based on the design submitted in my project proposal, for exploration of the shafts. Based on my most recent findings in Giza I refined the design and a number of construction elements, many of which were made of heavy-duty plastic.
This model would turn out to be too tall to get through some of the shafts and simply not sturdy enough for the overall task of negotiating numerous obstacles while climbing at a sharp angle. To my chagrin and frustration, I later discovered that I had underestimated the difficulties of the undertaking. In my eagerness to keep costs to a minimum and get started as soon as possible, I neglected to conduct adequate trial runs on mock-ups of the shafts. As a result, I would later have my hopes dashed and my robot stalled.
The first robot, which came to be known as the "FATHER OF UPUAUT", was relatively inexpensive, as it incorporated a number of pre-fabricated parts. It was a fixed construction, basically unchangeable. Only after the initial attempts to negotiate Cheops' shafts went badly, did I recognize the crucial importance of a highly-specialized, totally-customized, high-tech solution.
But in the early spring of 1992, I was still unaware of the headaches to come. For our coming venture to clear debris from the upper outlets of the shafts I bought the alpine climbing equipment we required. Prof. Stadelmann had cautioned against accidents, which might give critics an opportunity to claim that once again the "Curse of the Pharaoh" was at work. The last thing we needed was more grist for the esoterics. I also purchased surveying instruments to measure precisely the bending shaft sequence inside the Caviglia Tunnel.
And I succeeded in gaining the collaboration of the Lufttechnische GmbH (LTG) to do the ventilation system calculations, based on the data I had brought back with me from Giza. Through LTG I also secured the support of the Helios Ventilator company, which furnished the materials we needed.
Finally, my preparations were concluded and all of the material and equipment was sent via the German embassy to the GAI in Cairo.
In 1991 Prof. Stadelmann of the GAI in Cairo and I agreed to conduct a joint venture aimed at investigating the socalled "air shafts" of Cheops. As part of my preliminary efforts, I climbed the pyramid for the first time in January 1992 and immediately found the outlet of the upper southern shaft which had been "lost" and forgotten since the early 19th century.
The First Cheops Campaign, March 1992
Assisted by Ulrich Kapp of the GAI and two Egyptian inspectors, I embarked on a two-week campaign to carry out a video inspection of the tiny shafts of Cheops, using the first of my specially-constructed robots, which came to be known as the "FATHER OF UPUAUT". But almost immediately the robot got stuck after all my careful preparatory work and expense, an immensely frustrating turn of events. Nonetheless, we did manage to push the robot and its video camera a distance of just over 9 meters into both lower shafts, disproving the conventional view that they were only token or "insinuated" constructions.
Unable to accomplish much more with the tiny vehicle, I returned to Germany and spent the next four weeks completing the second robot, UPUAUT-1, as a towing sledge. It was fitted with the video camera from its predecessor and with a front-mounted laser-rod to measure the height and width of the upper shafts as we progressed through them.
The Second Cheops Campaign, May 1992
At the start of our second campaign we first had to clear out the upper northern shaft, which was clogged with debris. Finally, we managed to send Upuaut all the way through the shaft, measuring the block joints along the way. We then accomplished the same task in the upper southern shaft. In doing so we established that both upper shafts have bends in their North-South axis.
The final week was spent installing a ventilation system to improve conditions within the pyramid. The system quickly reduced the temperature and brought down the humidity to the outside atmospheric level - operating at only 30% of capacity - helping to save Cheops from further climatic damage.
Back in Germany I spent the rest of 1992 completing the design and construction of the much-improved robot "UPUAUT-2",and of the support vehicle, which came to be known as the "ROPE CLIMBER".
The Third Cheops Campaign, March 1993
This time accompanied by a video team, we first sent Upuaut-2 about 19 meters up the lower northern shaft, reaching a long metal rod left behind by the 19th century Waynman Dixon expedition. Then we tackled the lower southern shaft, which presented an endless series of obstacles to progress. Day-by-day we penetrated further up the shaft. We also sent the "Rope Climber" up the shaft to measure the exact angle of ascent.
We also re-surveyed the exterior of Cheops to pinpoint the potential outlet of the lower southern shaft, which if it does penetrate to the outside should do so at the 90th layer. We proved that it doesn't.
After making a number of modifications to Upuaut-2, to improve its performance and surmount frustrating obstacles, we finally progressed all the way up to 53 meters in the southern shaft, where we encountered a 6 cm "step" in the floor. For a robot less than 11 cm tall, it was like running into the Great Wall of China.
It took days to solve all the problems involved, but finally, on 22nd March, Upuaut-2 climbed over the step and proceeded. Following the robot's progress via the video monitor, we could clearly see that the next six meters of the shaft display a gradual improvement in the quality of workmanship.
And then, at 11:05 a.m., Upuaut-2 presented us with a breathtaking vision the shaft was blocked by a smooth stone slab! Closer inspection showed that it even features two copper fittings. What the true function of that slab may be remains a mystery, but it has come to be known in popular literature as "The Door." This popular name of course implies that the slab actually serves the function of a door, leading to well, who knows what? But until we can peer behind it, or perhaps even open it, we will never know for sure what it really is and what it meant to the builders of Cheops. So for the time being, it might be more appropriate to refer to it simply as the "USO" the Unidentified Stone Object.

Gideon's TrumpetBook - 1989
From the critics
Community Activity
CommentAdd a Comment
I practiced law for 30 years and, through the Cleveland-Marshall Law Alumni Association, mentored students at Cleveland-Marshall for almost 20 years. Whenever a student successfully completed the first year of law school, I would give her "Gideon's Trumpet". In clear and lucid prose that anyone could understand, Anthony Lewis explained the arcane procedures of the U.S. Supreme Court and abstract legal concepts such as "selective incorporation". But most importantly, he told an inspiring story of how a barely literate drifter persuaded the Supreme Court to change its mind and extend the Sixth Amendment's right to counsel to the States -- with the assistance, of course, of appointed appellate counsel, Abe Fortas, and his colleagues. The book exemplifies how creative and noble the legal profession can be.
I once wrote to him about giving his book to my mentees, and he sent me a brief but gracious reply. Years later, I met him before a lecture he gave at Case, and he autographed my copies of "Gideon's Trumpet" and "Make No Law". He was a true gentleman as well as an excellent writer. It is fitting, if not, ironic, that Lewis died while we were commemorating the 50th anniversary of Gideon v. Wainwright.

Africa and the world were forced to pay homage when Stonebwoy was declared the 2015 BET Award Winner for Best International Act (Africa). Ever since he started his music career in 2013, the Ghanaian has been a regular feature at the Ghana Music Awards and Bass Awards, winning gongs several times for Artiste of the Year, Reggae/Dancehall Artiste of the Year and Reggae/Dancehall Song of the Year. Cut from an impressive rock, this musician is celebrated for hits like Go Higher and the Pull Up remix featuring Patoranking. He makes his debut on Coke Studio Africa's fourth season, in 2016, alongside Haile Roots from Ethiopia.
Currently the CEO of Burniton Music Group, 28-year-old Stonebwoy has two albums under his belt. His first launch pad into music was orchestrated by Samini Music, where he dropped his debut album Grade 1 Album. Ghana quickly fell in love with his clear crisp sound and just two years later, in 2015, he signed up with VP Africa and released his sophomore album Necessary Evil.
Stonebwoy's quiet power resonates easily in his music. His obvious confidence and conviction in his music is displayed in both singing and rap. He is undoubtedly among the hottest acts out of Ghana in the recent past.
Stonebwoy was born in 1988 as Livingstone Etse Satekla. He calls himself the King of Ashaiman, the area in South Ghana where he was born. He went to Methodist Secondary School, where he was in the same class with renowned Ghanaian rapper Sarkodie. While in High School, Livingstone picked up the stage name Stonebwoy during cyphers. After school, he earned a University degree in marketing. He was persuaded to take part in a popular rap competition Kasahare Level on Ghana's Adom FM, where he went up against Sarkodie himself. The rap battles got him signed on to Samini Music, and soon after, his debut single Climax featuring musician Samini, was released.

Obamacare: The House Bill and Obama's Lies (Part 5)
Rationing & Gov't Access to Your Money
This bill is so huge, and so bad, sometimes it's hard to decide where to start. But today we'll take a look at how the government will be authorized to access your bank accounts any time you seek medical services and to extract what they decide is your financial responsibility at the time services are rendered. As usual, the President and his cronies believe if they lie to you with a straight face you'll believe them and support this government intrusion into your life. Then it will be too late.
Beginning on page 57 of the bill, under the heading sec. 1173A. STANDARDIZE ELECTRONIC ADMINISTRATIVE TRANSACTION, we find the following:
''(2) GOALS FOR FINANCIAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE TRANSACTIONS.—The goals for standards under paragraph (1) are that such standards shall—
''(A) be unique with no conflicting or redundant standards;
(B) be authoritative, permitting no additions or constraints for electronic transactions, including companion guides;
''(C) be comprehensive, efficient and robust, requiring minimal augmentation by paper transactions or clarification by further communications;
''(D) enable the real-time (or near real time) determination of an individual's financial responsibility at the point of service and, to the extent possible, prior to service, including whether the individual is eligible for a specific service with a specific physician at a specific facility, which may include utilization of a machine-readable health plan beneficiary identification card;
''(E) enable, where feasible, near real-time adjudication of claims;
*emphasis mine
Now we don't know about you, but whenever the government is trying to help us and this great bill that's going to do all these wonderful things for us promises Big Brother will have "authoritative" powers over us, that's troublesome. We mean, if this bill is so benign and so wonderful, it seems lawmakers could count on its beneficiaries voluntarily embracing it, abiding by it. There's no imaginable reason why a bill that would truly benefit everyone would need to establish "authoritative" powers over those it purports to "help."
In the above passage though, paragraph (D) is the really dangerous stipulation.
This bill is being sold by the President's team as free health care for all. According to him and his cronies, once his system is in place, all anyone will have to do is walk into any medical facility seeking treatment and, in this most wonderful world of all worlds, and receive the best treatment from the best doctors working in the best system in the best country in the best world in the best universe. Peaches and cream, cookies and milk, and all the best things you can imagine. Right?
If this plan is so wonderful, and we'll be able to walk in and get "free" healthcare everywhere, why does the government even need to determine an "individual's financial responsibility at the point of service"? Wouldn't we all be eligible for all services with all physicians at all facilities? And then of course there's the issue of the National Health Card, sort of all-in-one card that can access virtually all necessary information to determine your financial responsibility and your qualifications to determine when, where, and by whom you can receive health care services. Now how exactly do you think one card can provide such a plethora of information?
The answer's really pretty obvious.
To determine your financial responsibility, the card can simply access IRS records and determine your income and tax liability for the previous year. Of course, to determine your eligibility the card would pull data from the electronic medical records system Obama has often spoken of. He always states the purpose of this database will be to streamline record keeping and save money. But, hey! If it serves an additional purpose that's more bang for the buck.
So here we see the electronic record system may well be designed more to make it easy for the government to determine your eligibility for services than saving money. Unless…wait a minute…could it really be? Doesn't this sound like the electronic records may now be used to limit your access to health care?
Folks, that's rationing. Plain and simple. Don't let this forked-tongue President fool you any longer!
But there's even more. A little more reading in the bill brings us to page 59, where buried in a paragraph titled "(4)Requirements for Specific Standards" (still with regards to financial and administrative transactions) we find the following little gem.
''(C) enable electronic funds transfers, in order to allow automated reconciliation with the related health care payment and remittance advice;
So we have an electronic records database and a machine-readable National Health Card so the government will be able to ration our care and immediately collect electronic automated payments to cover the free health care services we receive. And exactly how can this supercard collect our payment on the spot, for our rationed health care?
By directly accessing your bank account! That's the only way this can work! Regardless how many times President Obama lies to you and says his system won't have access to your bank account, regardless how many times he lies and says rationing won't result from his plan, that's what this bill says!
There is no reason to support HR 3200. That is, unless you want rationed care and government control over your bank account to pay for your free health care.

12 Righteous are You, O Lord, that I would plead my case with You;
5 "If you have run with footmen and they have tired you out,
God's Answer
7 "I have forsaken My house,
14 Thus says the Lord concerning all My wicked neighbors who strike at the inheritance with which I have endowed My people Israel, "Behold I am about to uproot them from their land and will uproot the house of Judah from among them. 15 And it will come about that after I have uprooted them, I will again have compassion on them; and I will bring them back, each one to his inheritance and each one to his land. 16 Then if they will really learn the ways of My people, to swear by My name, 'As the Lord lives,' even as they taught My people to swear by Baal, they will be built up in the midst of My people. 17 But if they will not listen, then I will uproot that nation, uproot and destroy it," declares the Lord.

"Sketch Artists Use Software Program to Nab Bad Guys"
KVOA 4 (Tucson, AZ) (09/10/07)
Tucson police Detectives Mike Walker and Chris Brown use the software program Faces to produce computer-assisted sketches of the "bad guys" that have led to arrests in some recent high-profile crimes. The program, which hit the market in 1998, has been used by Tucson police for the past two years. "The computer does all the work," Walker said, thumbing through a Faces catalog of characteristics featuring 21 categories that include everything from eyebrows to glasses, jaw structure to noses, hair to tattoos. "There are 4,400 different features that can create 1 million different composites," Walker said. Once the features are selected by the person being interviewed, Walker or Brown inputs the data. They can fine tune the final composite, moving hairlines up or eyebrows down on the computer screen. While police don't keep statistics on the composite's success rate, Walker said it's "pretty good." In addition to composites of wanted criminals, the Faces program is also useful for age progression of missing persons or enhancing a blurry video image of someone.
"LAPD Buys 'Dirty Bomb' Detectors"
Daily Breeze (09/10/07)
Los Angeles Police Chief William Bratton has bought seven devices that can detect the radioactive signature of "dirty" bombs. One of the devices has apparently been implemented in a helicopter and is able to locate an unexploded dirty bomb from 800 feet above the ground. Dirty bombs use traditional explosives to disperse radioactive substances into the adjacent atmosphere. Bratton says that Los Angeles is the U.S. city with the third largest risk of being impacted by a dirty bomb, due to the special attributes the city possesses--the airport, port, and "just the symbolism of so much of what [terrorists] hate." Bratton states the Los Angeles Police Department has been given $3 million in Homeland Security money and has utilized those funds to also purchase a bomb-response truck for $900,000 that has a robot that can be worked from one mile away. In addition, the department has bought a mobile response truck for police public information officers, to function as a portable center for communicating data through news media.
"Police Take Up Tasers"
The Spectator (09/10/07); Halter, Nick
In light of the Virginia Tech tragedy, University of Wisconsin law enforcement will be equipped with Tasers this fall. As a measure to strengthen campus safety, officers also received training addressing how to prevent and respond during a university emergency. Vice chancellor of business and student services Andy Soll and University Police Chief David Sprick says implementing the Tasers has been under consideration for years, but the Virginia Tech incident was the impetus that finally led to their deployment. According to the Wisconsin Department of Justice's Law Enforcement Standards board, Tasers are ranked as an equivalent to pepper spray in terms of a force gradient. The Tasers, $800 apiece, have a 25-foot range. Additionally, they can target individuals as opposed to accidentally injuring a group of people in the case of using pepper spray. Sprick says the Tasers will be used by one in four UW campuses and that the department would like to expand their equipment eventually for the inclusion of ballistic shields and Kevlar helmets.
"Look Up: Seattle Cops May Soon Be Watching"
Seattle Times (09/07/07) P. A1; Sullivan, Jennifer
Police in Seattle may soon employ private security cameras in the downtown business area to help look out for assaults, drug deals, and additional crimes. Police and the Downtown Seattle Association are studying the establishment of a surveillance system that would permit officers to follow real-time video footage from security cameras on and near downtown buildings. The formation of such a plan, however, would likely draw criticism from the ACLU and other entities that worry such surveillance could result in a loss of privacy. In 2006, the Downtown Seattle Association acquired bids for a closed-circuit camera system on Pike and Pine streets between First and Fourth avenues. It has earmarked $50,000 and is still considering technology, the precise site of the cameras, and who will be selected to oversee the cameras. Even if law enforcement does not get involved, the association will track crimes via video surveillance. If Seattle does permit officers to watch live video surveillance, it will join Baltimore, Indianapolis, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and numerous other U.S. cities that employ video footage to fortify their patrolling efforts. http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/localnews/2003873006_cameras07m.html
"Suffolk Cops Test Out Radiation-Detection Services"
Newsday (09/07/07); Armario, Christine
Over 100 new detectors that can locate radioactive material have been dispensed to law-enforcement officials in Suffolk County, N.Y. Law enforcement claims the detectors are important because terrorists might store or move radioactive substances to the region due to its closeness to New York City. The detectors are small enough to attach to an officer's belt and strong enough to locate active material traveling by inside a car on the expressway. Police in Suffolk have already used 400 less innovative units during the last two years. The new detectors were recently bought by the New York Police Department. Uncovering radiation is simpler than detecting biological or chemical weapons, partly because of the technology and partly because a biological agent might not give anything off, notes Special Patrol Bureau commander and Deputy Inspector Stuart Cameron. The detectors bought by the New York Police Department were financed by the Securing the Cities grant, a measure by the U.S. Homeland Security Department.
"California Police Department Replaces PCs in Cruisers With Neoware Mobile Thin Client Laptop"
CNNMoney (09/05/07)
Neoware, Inc., a leading provider of thin client computing solutions, today announced that Marysville Police Department (MPD) has joined its growing customer base. Seeking a more cost-effective and efficient computing solution, MPD is using the mobility of the Neoware m100 by outfitting all officers with Neoware m100's to be used in patrol cars and other environments such as the station. "Standard laptops were no longer feasible due to the high price point and the liability of data being compromised from a lost or stolen laptop," said Lieutenant Mike Kostas of MPD. "We could not have implemented a more perfect solution with Neoware m100's. MPD has been able to reduce costs, lessen the need of tech support and reach our ultimate goal of issuing a laptop as standard equipment." In working with Neoware MPD sought to deploy a more robust mobile computing solution that could easily expand to accommodate the growing force and unique needs of a police department. Compared to standard laptops, the Neoware m100 uses a centralized server for hosting applications and processing data, storing no data on the local device -- an important benefit for government, healthcare and financial industries. http://money.cnn.com/news/newsfeeds/articles/primenewswire/126110.htm
"Stone Jail to Be Upgraded"
Biloxi Sun Herald (MS) (09/05/07) P. A6; Bosarge, Nancy
The Stone County, Miss., Board of Supervisors voted at its Sept. 4 meeting to solicit bids on a digital surveillance system for its prison and for materials to construct a security tower at the Stone County Correctional Facility. The prison now has a VHS system. The board sanctioned a quote for $5,477.95 from Laurel Machine & Foundry for material to construct a security tower in the inmate section of the prison. Prison warden Dwaine Brewer stated he was creating four additional exercise yards for the prisoners. The tower will be capable of overseeing five yards, he noted. http://www.sunherald.com/201/story/134767.html
"Officials: We'll Pay for Inmate Tethers"
Detroit News (09/04/07) P. 1B; Feighan, Maureen
Faced with its eighth instance of overcrowded prisons in two years, Oakland County is considering paying for inmate tethers to avoid placing them in jail. Officials are evaluating plans for a $200,000 initiative that would fund ankle devices for inmates with bonds of $1,000 or less and for other inmates sentenced for nonviolent crimes. Compared with the cost of spending $96 for keeping inmates in jail, tethers only cost $8 to $16 a day. Features of the tether include a GPS device to track the offender and the ability to monitor blood alcohol content. In addition to tethering inmates, county community corrections department director Barb Hankey says the program sentences offenders to tethers upon fulfilling specific criteria, such as first-time DUI-offenders; crimes involving sexual misconduct or domestic violence would not be up for tether consideration. So far, the district courts of Novi and Waterford have also agreed to pilot the program with the circuit court.
"Sniper-Sniffing Robot Created"
BBC News (09/05/07)
Portsmouth University teamed with Ant Scientific to develop the "locust," a flying robot that can be used to identify snipers and bombs in crowded areas. Next year, the prototype will compete in a British Ministry of Defence challenge against 16 other sniper-sniffing robots. The challenge will be held at Copehill Down, the British army's urban warfare training field, where the entries will be judged on their ability to find targets. The winning developer will be given military funding and have a good chance of putting their design into commercial production. Portsmouth's head of defense and homeland security research Charlie Baker-Wyatt said, "The challenge was to create devices that could be used in the fight against people who don't fight under established rules." http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/england/hampshire/6980271.stm
"Atlantic City Airport to Start Car-Bomb Screening"
Newsday (09/10/07)
Vehicles entering Atlantic City International Airport will be screened for explosives hidden on their underside. Airport officials say that the new system, the first of its kind to be used at a U.S. airport, is able to capture a video image as vehicles pass over a four-inch-high ramp. The images taken from the cameras on the ramp are monitored by security personal in a nearby vehicle. State officials spent $22,500 allotted to them by the Department of Homeland Security after authorities urged the state that they needed a more advanced inspection system. New Jersey Transportation Commissioner Kris Kolluri said, "This equipment gives law enforcement officers another tool to use in the fight against terrorism and helps us to ensure a safe flying environment for the traveling public."
"CSI Could Benefit From Computer Sidekick"
New Scientist (08/31/07); Simonite, Tom
A team from Birmingham University in the United Kingdom has developed a new computerized sidekick that will enable crime scene investigators to produce faster and more detailed reports. The prototype system makes use of a thin computer about the size of a small book, GPS, a digital camera, and a RFID tag reader. The CSI wears the computer and uses a headset to provide voice commands to the system, such as to snap a picture or record a verbal description of evidence. The GPS is used to mark location, a RFID tag is used to label (time, location, and type) evidence, and images can also be annotated to focus on a particular feature. In tests, the system cut the amount of time in half that it takes to put together a standard CSI report. "Writing is both time-consuming and interruptive," says Chris Baber, a computer scientist at Birmingham. "We've attempted to remove the need to explicitly report what you are doing." The team is now working on a version that would make it easier for different teams of investigators at the scene of a crime to share data.
"Wi-fi Unites Wisconsin Cities"
PCWorld.com (09/02/07); Messmer, Ellen
Three small Wisconsin cities--Fitchburg, Middleton, and Sun Prairie--have joined together to implement an interlinked encryption-protected microwave system that offers a wireless connection to law-enforcement and safety systems. The cities chose to employ the same police-management application as a collective purchase a few years ago for police-dispatch facilities to replace legacy systems. In addition, the cities wanted direct network links to share law enforcement data that includes records and dispatch access. While the application began as a T-1 private line, the cities changed over in June to faster-speed point-to-point microwave links with a flexible encryption ability founded on the CipherOpticsEngine. The cities chose to utilize microwave radios and antennas from CommConnect, which at 100 Mbps were quicker and cheaper than the terrestrial T-1, states Fitchburg's information-technology manager for police systems, Matt Plough. He explains that the encryption choices included purchasing microwave radios with incorporated encryptors or installing individual gateway encryptions. The three cities decided to use a separate decryption/encryption gateway and acquired the CipherOptics Ethernet Security Gateway ESG100 and the CipherEngine Policy & Key Manager, which permits for Layer-2 encryption of law enforcement movement on a virtual LAN basis. http://www.pcworld.com/article/id,136684-pg,1/article.html
"Q&A: Hurry Up and Wait"
Washington Technology (08/20/07) Vol. 22, No. 15, P. 32; Lipowicz, Alice
The Real ID Act of 2005 requires states to phase out all existing driver's licenses and to replace them with new documentation that adheres to national standards and connects to a national system. Governors are seeking funding from Congress for the $11 billion mandate, but critics have voiced fears regarding identity theft and privacy issues. Richard Barth, assistant secretary of the Office of Policy Development, is the DHS' top official for generating the Real ID requirements. When asked about the Real ID card's machine-readable zone (MRZ), Barth explains that public safety officials endorse maintaining the current procedure of encoding the printed data on the license's front side in the MRZ. Privacy advocates, however, fear that data will be skimmed off the MRZ for commercial and other reasons. DHS is exploring solutions that would not hinder law enforcement functions but would supply improved security for personal data. Enhanced driver's licenses will implement technologies already employed at the land border for aiding travelers, such as vicinity radio frequency identification and a MRZ based on the International Civil Aviation Organization standard, says Barth. In terms of sharing Real ID information between states, DHS may use the American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrator's system for commercial driver's licenses, as that system has functioned for years without any reports of misuse or abuse. If DHS does build on the model, DHS will be sure to heighten the model's security and privacy protections for the national ID program. When asked why the Real ID card is not also a smart card, Barth explains that such a renovation is not warranted for the goal of establishing minimum standards for state driver's licenses, though states can opt to shift to more sophisticated technological solutions. http://www.washingtontechnology.com/print/22_15/31243-1.html
"Out-of-Range Communications Solutions"
Advanced Rescue Technology (07/07) Vol. 10, No. 3, P. 28; Careless, James
The New Mexico State Police have implemented mobile satellite information terminals manufactured by Mobile Satellite Ventures (MSV). Patrol vehicles have been equipped with PDT-100 Satellite Packet Data Terminals that are mounted on the roof. An end of each terminal is connected to a Panasonic Toughbook laptop inside the vehicle, while the other wirelessly links to MSV's MSAT geostationary satellite. As a result, cars that are equipped with the satellite always have information connections to their headquarters.

Satellite phones made by Globalstar or Iridium are a cheaper option, and both firms provide portable satellite phones which can facilitate voice and different speeds of information transmission. A basic Globalstar GSP-1600 portable satellite/cellular phone goes for about $645, while an Iridium 9505A handset is priced at $1,495, and yearly service fees cost between $450 and $6,600.

Case Study: My Experience With Vehicles
What Car Owners Should Know About Car Warranties
Every vehicle comes with a GWC warranty when it is bought.Once the car is purchased, there will always be a warranty.However, it is when this warranty expires that the car owner starts getting nervous and this means he will have to spend from his pocket to get his car repaired, should something go wrong with his car.This is why a lot of providers offer different kinds of warranties.In fact, some may even get in touch with car owners directly, through auto warranty leads.
There are three types of car warranties: manufacturer warranties, adjustment warranties, and secret warranties.
There are a few warranties the car owners may not be aware of, though they may be provided by the manufacturers.These warranties may fall under the category of secret warranties.Also known as goodwill service or policy adjustments, such car warranties come into the picture when there a major issue crops up taking place after the expiry of the factory warranty.A complaint made to the manufacturer can trigger off this GWC warranty delivered the car owner has been loyal to the brand.Apart from the above, there are other warranties such as service contracts, extended warranties and certified pre-owned warranties.Service contracts cover a limited variety of services that consist of regular maintenance, repairs and replacements of parts and this is usually taken after the expiration of the factory GWC warranty.While it may not cover all parts, this type of car guarantee can be useful for a car owner who maintains his car in a fairly good condition.While covering major breakdowns, extended guarantee stabilizes the costs of repairs as the prices of parts and labor keep increasing over time.
A certified pre-owned guarantee might cost slightly more than the other used cars.Even though not as comprehensive as a bumper-to-bumper warranty, due to the fact that a certified pre-owned warranty comes with benefits such as free maintenance, satellite radio subscription, roadside assistance, and trip interruption coverage.Whatever may be the choice of auto guarantee, the car owner may at times have to pay for certain hidden charges and deductibles that might increase his expenses.Such a study might reveal the conditions behind the claims, while helping the car owner understand the limits of the auto guarantee.

Looking On The Bright Side of Services
Two Types of Extended Vehicle Warranties
An extended warranty is essentially an insurance policy on your car that provides protection against costly unexpected repairs within a particular span of time and mileage. True warranties are automatically included in a vehicle purchase, while extended auto warranties are a separate product.
Two Types
These days, you will find two primary types of extended warranties: original equipment manufacturer (OEM) and aftermarket. Ford and Toyota are examples of OEMs. A third party would be a warranty or insurance company that has no direct affiliations with a vehicle brand. One example of a company that provides third-party service warranty is Cars Protection Plus.
OEM Warranties
Two types of warranties that OEMs offer are powertrain and bumper to bumper. A powertrain warranty covers your engine and transmission against workmanship-related problems, while a bumper to bumper warranty takes care of most other issues, including those involving electronic systems in the car (power seats, onboard computers, etc.).
In most cases, an extended OEM warranty's features are similar to those that are provided with a new vehicle purchases, plus additional services like roadside assistance. Know what these other services are with different providers in your area. One of your best options – if not your best – in Murrysville, Pennsylvania is Cars Protection Plus.
Cars Protection Plus
When choosing the right warranty, you may have to decide if you want a plan that comes with or without a deductible. Like any other type of insurance out there, a bigger deductible will automatically reduce the policy's total price. What's great is that OEM warranty deductibles are generally minimal (usually under $200).
Third-Party Warranties
Usually, third-party or aftermarket warranty companies, such as Cars Protection Plus, provide mainly the same coverage that you can expect from OEMs. But of course, you're still talking about two different products, and even third-party warranties can be unique, depending on the provider. They can also differ in terms of deductibles and general policies.
Original equipment manufacturer and third-party warranties may also differ in the way they administer coverage. For instance, a third-party warranty may require you to pay out-of-pocket for a repair, and them file a claim to be reimbursed later. The process won't be always be quick, but if you choose a reputable provider such as Cars Protection Plus, this will rarely be a problem. In any case, it's crucial that yo know your costs right from the start.
What might be the biggest advantage of third-party warranties is that they are substantially cheaper compared to OEM warranties. There are even cases where a third-party warranty becomes the only option you have. If you buy a used Toyota at a Ford dealership , for instance, it's unlikely that you will be given a Toyota OEM warranty.
If you're planning to buy an extended warranty, make sure you read the fine print. Most importantly, buy from a reputable provider, such as Cars Protection Plus.…

If you follow Android news regularly, there's a good chance you've been hearing a lot about Motorola lately. Between the Moto X and the Moto G, Motorola has been gaining a lot of positive attention, and for good reason. The Moto X was a well-received device that seemed to hit a sweet spot with a lot of mainstream consumers, while the Moto G's low price tag has a lot of people talking. Motorola CEO Dennis Woodside has been in the news a lot as well, this time sitting down for an interview with the Associated Press to talk about everything from plastic phones to who Motorola's biggest competitors are.
Speaking on how Motorola has changed since it first hit it big with its RAZR line of flip phones back in 2004, Woodside said that today Motorola is focused more on mobile services and getting as many people as possible connected to mobile web. He pointed to the Moto G, saying that consumers can now get a phone that "spec for spec does stand up to an iPhone at one-fourth the price." That wasn't the last time Woodside mentioned Apple, as he claimed Samsung and Apple were Motorola's biggest competitors. In the case of Samsung, Woodside said that Motorola is at a disadvantage because it doesn't have the kind of money Samsung has, meaning it can't market its devices as much. Therefore, Motorola has to gain attention in other ways, which is part of the strategy behind the Moto G.
When asked what customers are going to want in a phone in the future, Woodside suggested that we'll soon see a shift away from glass devices. "Phones break. They're glass. That's likely to change in the next 24 months, as plastic becomes more present and producible," he said. Interaction with smartphones will likely change moving forward too, with Woodside envisioning a future where everyone is talking to their phones: "You'll be speaking to (the) phone, asking it to do things, and it will be responding and actually doing what you intend, as opposed to you reading a command line." Finally, he pointed to the current obsession with wearables, mentioning that no one has really come up with a distinct purpose that makes these wearables must-have devices.
Woodside also spent a fair amount of the interview discussing what's changed and what hasn't with the Google buyout of the company. He reiterated that Google and Motorola still operate independently of one another, and that we should consider Google more of an investor in this instance. Despite this, one thing is for sure: Motorola has had a pair of hits ever since joining forces with Google, so the buyout seems to working out great. Have any of you picked up a Moto X or a Moto G? If so, what do you think about your shiny new device?

For those who have been following happenings in the Nigerian entertainment industry lately, the news report concerning the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) and Davido, the 'Omo Baba Olowo' singer, has been making headlines.
This came after the singer released a music video of a song he did with Rick Ross' Mayback artiste, Meek Mill, which he titled 'Fans Mi'.
In the said video, a scene showed Davido exchanging a cash-filled briefcase for a white substance looking like narcotic drugs.
When the attention of the drug agency was drawn into it, they set up a panel to probe the singer. This was confirmed by the NDLEA spokesman, Mitchell Ofoyeju, in an interview with Punch.
But Davido, responding to a fan's inquiry into the matter, said he has no issue with the government's body. He simply said "nothing" to the question asked by the curious fan on the issue.
The singer further disclosed that his much talked about album would be released on August 10, 2015.

Cardio vs. Weights: What to do to Slim Down, Not Bulk Up
If I didn't know better, I'd think my gym was segregated. The treadmills, ellipticals, and bikes are full of women. The bench press, free weights, and weight machines; no estrogen in sight, men only! Seriously! I was really curious to find out why we women tend to focus so much on cardio and neglect weight training. The most frequent answer I heard was, "I just want to lose weight and slim down. I don't want all that bulky muscle."
What they don't understand is that lifting weights actually burns calories during their workout and after!
I hear ya. After 3 babies, I'm anxious to look a little more curvy and a little less… bumpy? So I wondered, is there anything to this cardio obsession? Is this what is going to work for us women who aren't looking to compete in a body-building competition any time soon? Or should we venture over into the 'man cave' and pick up a weight every now and then? Anxious to get some answers I turned to some fitness experts in my area for their opinions on the subject.
{ MORE: Change It Up for Weight Loss}
Janelle Hernandez, a health and dance teacher near Rochester, New York said, "Girls in general are usually more focused on losing weight. When they hear the word cardio, they think skinny. Cardio classes also advertise the opportunity to burn calories and drop the pounds. Therefore, girls flock to cardio classes and/or machines to see the 'calories burned' number increase, missing a huge opportunity to burn more calories by lifting weights. What they don't understand is that lifting weights actually burns calories during their workout and after! Because muscle takes more energy to sustain than fat, you are burning more calories as you break down, repair and maintain the muscle. Realistically you will not get bulky by doing some strength training, you have to be really trying to gain muscle mass to do so." (It's a lot of work and hours in the gym for body builder bulk!)
Janelle goes on to explain that "Cardio is important and will help burn calories, but weights help tone your body while burning calories well after you have finished working out. So I suggest that if you are looking to lose weight and tone and tighten your body, you need to add strength training to your weekly workouts. So PICK UP SOME WEIGHTS!"
Sweet! Burn calories after my work out? Deal! Since muscles are denser and leaner than fat, even if you gain weight from muscle mass, you will most likely still lose inches from fat reduction and toned muscles! (and we all know it's about how you look and feel in that little black dress, right?!)
So ladies, don't let the sweaty men hog the weight training equipment. We all know the time away from the kiddlets to get a workout in, doesn't come as frequently as we'd probably like, so get more bang for your buck and get the benefits of working out, even after you finish! So gals, pick up some weights!
What weight training exercises do you do? Are you caught in the cardio-only trap?

Dear Michael, Thank you for your message (16 Sep 2002 10:39:51 -0700), in which, among other things, you wrote[1]: Michael> Did you consider writing a bug report to suggest Michael> that the superfluous whitespace should be removed Michael> from all the info files that come in the Emacs Michael> distribution (which would make a significant Michael> improvement, at least)? Yes, I've considered it. However I think that the bug isn't in the Emacs info documents, but in info formating machine, since what we see has been formatted with texinfo, hasn't it? After formating there musn't be trailing whitespaces. Please correct me if I'm wrong, I'm a complete ignorant, who wants to post his first bug report to the correct address. Thank you very much, luis Footnotes: [1] The excerpts of your message are prefixed by "Michael>". -- Luis Octavio Silva P.

We walk through the world, our world, day and night, looking at it, being in it. But seldom do we realize that there is an another world hidden in plain sight.

This book is an attempt at looking at this beautiful, ethereal, transient world of shadows and reflections.
