Ultrasound uses reflected sound waves to produce an image
of organs and other structures in the body. This technology can help doctors pinpoint the location of tissue for testing or treatment. For
example, ultrasound can be used to help guide the placement of a needle or
other instrument during a biopsy. A biopsy is a procedure to collect a sample
of tissue collected from an organ or other part of the body. The tissue is then
examined for abnormalities, such as cancer, by a doctor trained to look at
tissue samples (pathologist).
Gel or oil may be used on the skin
to help transmit the sound waves. A small handheld instrument called a
transducer is passed back and forth over the area of the body being examined.
The transducer sends out high-pitched sound waves (above the range of human
hearing) that are reflected back to the transducer. A computer analyzes the
reflected sound waves and converts them into a picture. From this picture, the
doctor can identify the location of tissue for biopsy and can use the
ultrasound image to guide the needle into the selected tissue for sampling. The
needle itself may have a special tip that is very reflective under ultrasound,
so that it shows up well in the image.

World Series Game 6 and the 27th Title!
We did it…I…I really don't even know what to say. I am truly speechless.
The Yankees defeated the Phillies 7-3 in Game Six of the World Series to capture their 27th World Championship. A wonderful, strong, winning season capped off with a World Title in the first year in our new ballpark.
What a wonderful, wonderful feeling. A feeling we all haven't had since 2000.
I had been saying from the beginning of the fall classic that the Yankees were probably going to win in six games. Now, I don't usually like to make predictions, as I have said before, but that was my best guess: Yankees in six.
But let me tell you all a true, almost scary story before Game Six.
I am a senior in College at this point in my life, obviously studying journalism. I attended my sports reporting class last night, mostly discussing the World Series with my fellow students and my professor. Well, after an interesting discussion, class ended.
I got in my car and made my way home to watch the World Series. As I'm driving on the highway, I notice a school bus in front of me. As most of you may or may not remember, all school buses are numbered, all numbers on the back of the bus.
Of all the numbers that there could've been, what number was the bus? 27. I am not lying and I am dead serious. 27, right in front of me for quite a few miles up the Taconic State Parkway in New York.
Coincidence? I didn't think so. This eerie feeling came over me as I was driving; chills went up and down my spine. One thought popped into my mind: "The Yankees are going to do it. I know it. There's a reason that bus was in front of me."
When I got home, I just smiled and laughed. The game hadn't even started yet, but I knew what was going to happen; maybe not the score, maybe not every specific detail, but I swear to God I KNEW the Yankees were NOT losing this game!!!
So eventually the game began and…well…I guess the only way to describe it was the "Hideki Matsui Hitting Show."
Godzilla knocked in six RBIs in game six, two of which came on a two-run homer in the bottom of the second off the Yankees' favorite son Pedro Martinez. It was Matsui's third home run in the World Series and second that came off Martinez.
But Matsui was just getting warmed up.
In the next inning, Godzilla singled to knock in Derek Jeter and Johnny Damon and in the fifth he doubled to score Alex Rodriguez and Mark Teixeira. No one could get Matsui out, it seemed.
And for his efforts in this entire World Series, Matsui was named Most Valuable Player. He deserved it. Three Homers, a .747 batting average, and six RBIs in the clinching game. Yes, I'd say that's MVP worthy. Domo Arigato, Mr. Matsui!
Congrats Godzilla! (Remember, he also won another prestigious award–the Yankee Yapping Comeback Player of the Year Award!)
Teixeira was responsible for the only other RBI not registered by Matsui, as he singled in the fifth to score Jeter.
And who else was on the mound to close it out but Andy Pettitte, the winningest pitcher in postseason history. Everyone was concerned because Pettitte was pitching on three days rest for this first time since 2006, but those concerns were not well-founded. To be honest, I couldn't even tell the difference.
The veteran lefty pitched 5 2/3 innings and gave up three earned runs on four hits. He walked five and struck out three. His line may not have indicated an overly impressive start, but I think he did great and gave the Bronx Bombers a good chance to win.
And they did, like they usually always do when he pitches. I mean, Pettitte was the winning pitcher when they've clinched the ALDS and ALCS this year…what's one more?
The Phillies scored two of their three runs on an opposite-field homer run by Ryan Howard in the top of the sixth, his first home run in the World Series.
Sorry to say, but too little, too late, Howard.
Jimmy Rollins, who erroneously predicted the Phillies to win the fall classic in five games (and is probably eating his words right now) knocked in the Phillies' first run with a sacrifice fly in the top of the third.
Well, thanks to some solid bullpen help from Joba Chamberlain and Damaso Marte, the Yankees bridged the gap to Mariano Rivera, who came in to get five outs.
Did he get all five of them? Of course he did! And the Yankees are Champs again!!!
The team dog pile on the infield, a victory lap around the field proudly waving the 2009 Championship flag, and hoisting the Championship Trophy. Doesn't get any better than that, does it?
I laughed. I cried. I jumped up and down. My heart overjoyed, my fists pumping in the air. I got that feeling; the feeling that comes over a man when he gets exactly what he desires. My phone was blowing up; calls, texts, people clicking the like button on my Facebook status, which read:
A.J. Martelli is in tears of joy :') THE YANKEES ARE KINGS OF BASEBALL!!!! 27!!!!! "WEEEEEE AREE THE CHAMPIONS, MY FRIEND! WE'LL KEEP ON FIGHTIN' TILL THE END! NO TIME FOR LOSERS, 'CAUSE WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS…OF THE WORLD!!!" 2009 was the Year of the Pinstripes. In a perfect world we'd ALL be Yankees! I am so proud of my team. SO proud. It was destiNYY.
Stephen, an old friend of mine from grade school, posted as his status:
"Time for every person in New York to jump on the Yankee bandwagon and say 'my boys did it.' I think the only person who has any right to say anything about it is A.J. Martelli. He posts about every game because he lives in blue and white. I hope he gets to see this."
Oh, I did see it. And it made me feel great, because it is true. Then I turned to my 26 Time World Series jacket, which is now obselete. "Guess I'll need a new one," I said with a laugh.
What a way to end this year!
Another thing I'd like to point out was the date. It was on Nov. 4, 2001 that the Yankees' World Series magic vanished in the Arizona desert. The last night of the Yankee Dynasty of the late '90s. Since that night, the Yanks had not won a World Title.
That is of course until Nov. 4, 2009. Perhaps the first night of the new Yankee Dynasty.
There was something strange about this night. Seeing that bus with 27 on it, watching Matsui practically single-handedly crush the Phillies' dreams of repeating as Champions, and winning the title back on the same exact date we lost it nine years ago.
And even the fact that 2009 was the new Yankee Stadium's first year, and when the original Stadium opened back in 1923, the Yankees won the World Series for the first time.
Not to mention, I checked the Yankee Yapping Facebook fan page to update the status…and at the time the Yankees won the Championship, there were precisely 400…and 27 fans.
Forces were at work, I believe that. This night happened for a reason. There ARE baseball gods and they were working tonight.
It has been a remarkable year; the year of the Yankees. 103 wins during the regular season, 114 overall…this was the only way to end it.
I would like to thank everyone who read my blog, there will be plenty more entries over the off-season, I promise you that. For right now, I would like everyone to ENJOY this!!! A World Series victory was the goal and our team reached it.
I'd also like to thank the 2009 Yankees for the season of a lifetime. I'm sure there will be many people (myself included) who will write about the '09 Yankees. They are certainly a group of special players, and at one time (in June) I even described them as a "group of warriors that never quit."
They are warriors and they never did quit. They took it all the way.
It's been one hell of a ride, my friends. Thanks to all!
GO YANKEES!!! We made it to 27 and victory is ours!!!

Sunday, Feb. 16, 1913. Some early 20th century church leaders see moving pictures as a threat to morality. Others may see them as a rival for people's attention. A Troy minister sees them as a potential tool for spreading the gospel. "What Should be the Attitude of the Church Toward the Moving Picture Show?" is the question raised by Rev. I. V. Lobdell's sermon at the Universalist Church today. Collar City pastors have protested recently against lax enforcement of laws regulating the exhibition of moving pictures. As "public amusements," movie theaters are supposed to be closed on Sundays under the state's Sabbath law, while children under 17 may be admitted to theaters only when accompanied by a parent or legal guardian. Lobdell was one of the few ministers to express any support for movies at a recent meeting of ministers and theater owners arranged by the Chamber of Commerce. Before his own congregation, he preaches that "the moving picture possesses unlimited possibilities for education and inspiration. I believe in the moving picture and I believe in them on Sunday, but I believe in making them work for Jesus Christ." The text for Lobdell's sermon is John 21:16, Jesus's command to Peter to "Feed my sheep." "He did not say if they come to you to be fed, or if they will eat just what you have prepared for them; there were no conditions, but the imperative command, 'Feed my sheep,'" the minister explains, "Visit our churches to-day and see the paltry few that worship in the proscribed way....then go out on the street and watch the continuous crowds of men and women, boys and girls, and can one be honest and say the church is keeping as it should the master's command? "'Feed my sheep,' said Jesus, it does not matter how but feed them. The picture offers a point of contact with many lives that never can be reached by means of a sermon. God through the inventors has placed in our hands a mighty instrument with which to teach and inspire. Shall we use it?" On Sundays, at least, moving pictures should be the church's exclusive instrument. "As regards the commercialization of the Sabbath by the moving picture men, I am not in favor of a commercialized Sabbath," Lobdell reiterates. He insists, however, that movie houses not be singled out from other Sabbath breakers. "The business of the church is not to destroy, but to refine and purify," Lobdell concludes. Purifying movie theaters will include "a more rigid censorship of pictures" and "a proper provision for the seating of women and children," at the very least.

The lack of health insurance in America leads to delayed diagnoses, life-threatening complications and, ultimately, 18,000 premature deaths each year, according to a report released Tuesday by the Institute of Medicine. In the first comprehensive study of the medical consequences of going without insurance, researchers commissioned by the National Academy of Sciences found that "being uninsured for even a year appears to diminish a person's general health."
Many of the 30 million working Americans without health insurance belatedly discover serious illnesses such as cancer, diabetes, hypertension and HIV. Others may go their entire lives without receiving treatment for mental illness, high cholesterol, arthritis or asthma, the authors found. The vast majority of uninsured Americans go without health care until an illness becomes too serious to ignore.
After a detailed analysis of 130 studies on the uninsured, the researchers estimated that a lack of insurance translates annually into 360 to 600 premature breast cancer deaths, 1,200 to 1,400 deaths among HIV-infected adults, and 1,400 premature deaths due to under-treated hypertension. Committee member Reed Tuckson, a senior vice president with United Health Group, called the results "a major American problem" and "a tragedy of numbers."
Because uninsured persons are less likely to receive common cancer screening tests such as mammograms, Pap smears and colon exams, they die sooner than people without insurance. And patients without insurance are less likely to be admitted to a hospital and more likely to receive fewer services. "Often one of the first pieces of information obtained" in the emergency room is insurance status, said committee member John Ayanian, a health policy expert at Harvard Medical School. Of the nearly 40 million Americans without insurance, about 30 million are adults ages 18 to 65. Nearly 85 percent of uninsured adults work, or live in a family in which someone works.

Rookies play on other teams because other teams have 0 guys to fill that spot. They can't afford or attract veteran options, so they're forced to play a rookie every night.
I agree with this. No one wants to rush a player into the league before they are ready. So if you can give him sheltered minutes and play a veteran to spell him, why not bring him along slowly?
Because the rookie is better than the veteran, and the veteran is pretty much a mediocre player?
Lots of young guys/rookies are better than a veteran in the same organization. All over the league. You can't over groom a guy. Having a press box night once or twice a week isn't going to hurt him.

- For statistics in Warcraft III, see Mug'thol/statistics.
Mug'thol, a ferocious and crafty warlord, rules the Crushridge clan. The ogre's hulking frame is covered in a mish-mash of scavenged bits of metal and trophies of war, held together by thick bands of sweat-drenched leather hide. He holds a massive tree branch in one hand, leaning it effortlessly against his shoulder. A gemstone covered crown sits awkwardly on his head, leaning slightly off to one side as if it doesn't fit very well. Mug'thol likes to smash things. Although he has a certain amount of savvy when intimidating other creatures to do his bidding, he knows only one way to fight. He always uses full power attacks in combat, not realizing the disadvantage of doing so. He likes the sound that his club makes when striking metal, and he prioritizes his targets by how amusing he thinks they will be to hit. He typically prefers to strike at enemies with metal shields first, followed by those in suits of metal armor, and lastly those with metal weapons.[1] (LoC 86-87)
History Edit
Third War Edit
Mug'thol was an ogre from Draenor who fought during the Second War in the orcish Horde.[1] (LoC 86) When the Horde was defeated and scattered, Mug'thol was a member of the Stonemaul ogre clan. The clan apparently split into two, one group remained in Lordaeron under the leadership of Mug'thol while the other group traveled to Kalimdor and joined the New Horde.[2]
Mug'thol led his group of ogres in the Plaguelands and was preparing them for battle in the hills, however, he found himself caught in the middle of a battle between Sylvanas Windrunner and the Dreadlord Varimathras.
Sylvanas needing to bolster her forces, she raided one of Mug'thol's camp and discovered the clan. She then attacked Mug'thol's encampment and tried to posses him; Mug'thol warned her that she would fall, but Sylvanas had one of her banshee sisters to possess the ogre, who then declared that his allegiance was now to the "pretty ghost".[3]
The Crown of Will Edit
Later Mug'Thol and his ogre warband was sent to Alterac to retrieve the Crown of Will for Lady Sylvanas. Unfortunately, instead of returning it, he decided to try it on. The Crown of Will enabled him to resist the possession placed upon him to serve Lady Sylvanas and he defected, establishing himself and his band of ogres in the ruins of Alterac as the Crushridge ogres.[4]
Mug'thol has four loyal lieutenants: Muckrake, Targ, and Glommus and a powefull Ogre mage named Grel'borg the Miser
In World of Warcraft EditThis section concerns content exclusive to World of Warcraft. Mug'thol can be found in the Alterac Mountains[42.6, 30.6] among the snowy Ruins of Alterac. At one point there was a quest chain involving Mug'thol, but it was removed in Mists of Pandaria.

West Texas now produces some of the highest quality cotton in the United States, a significant turnaround from just a few years ago when High Plains farmers suffered a reputation for producing low-grade lint.
Industry observers point to improved varieties and management techniques for the dramatic change. And they say innovations from the USDA-ARS Cotton Production and Processing Research Unit (locally known as the gin lab) in Lubbock put West Texas cotton on par with much of California's crop.
Little wonder then that cotton ginners, farmers and folks in allied industries expressed shock when the USDA recently recommended eliminating funding for the lab in its latest budget proposal.
"We were caught off guard," said Tony Williams, executive vice president and treasurer, Texas Cotton Ginners Association, at a press briefing during the annual Texas Cotton Gin Show at Lubbock.
"We thought we had put this issue behind us two years ago, so this came out of the blue," Williams said.
The Bush administration also tagged the gin lab for closure two years ago but an industry outcry saved the facility. They hope to do that again.
At stake is only a $1.2 million annual expenditure for USDA, but a significant loss to West Texas cotton farmers, ginners, and the High Plains economy.
"The Texas cotton economy has benefited greatly from research conducted by the Lubbock Gin Lab," said Chris Breedlove, an Olton, Texas, ginner and president of the National Cotton Ginners Association. "Cotton quality has increased significantly in the High Plains and Texas cotton now rates among the highest quality produced in the United States. Much of this quality improvement can be attributed to the technology transfer that has occurred from the Lubbock Gin Lab to our ginners as they seek to provide the highest quality fiber possible."
He said the Lubbock lab is the only gin research facility in the country researching quality issues related to mechanical stripper harvesting and ginning stripper-harvested cotton.
"No other ginning lab in the world has this focus," Breedlove said.
He said the lab also leads in research to develop more accurate methods of determining particulate emissions from gins. The goal, he said, is to develop "economically feasible options to reduce these emissions. Recently, the cotton industry proposed a plan to establish reliable estimates of current gin emissions. With the Lubbock Gin Lab's expertise in emissions research, the industry is looking to the Lubbock Lab to carry out the bulk of this work."
"This laboratory has historically focused on issues related specifically to this region's harvesting and growing methods," said Jim Bradford, president, Texas Cotton Ginners' Association. "Issues faced by cotton growers in Texas are different from those in the Mid-South, the Southeast or the Western United States."
Bradford said the reach of the lab extends beyond West Texas into New Mexico, Oklahoma and Kansas. "This area has always been a large part of the world's cotton market but is now projected to be responsible for more than half the U.S. cotton acreage this year."
He said as other historical cotton producing regions cut back acreage in favor of grains or soybeans, West Texas has broken records for production and quality. "Why would anyone propose closure of a research facility right at the forefront of all this success?"
He said quality issues continue to gain importance in cotton markets as more and more of the U.S. crop is exported. "It is increasingly important to meet or exceed the quality expectations of foreign markets."
Moisture content control is one of those issues. "Some of the leading work on measuring cotton moisture, as well as understanding the effects of cotton moisture is done at the Lubbock Gin Lab."
Bradford said scientists at the Lubbock Gin Lab also do environmental regulation studies. "Few environmental scientists in the United States understand how agriculture works and how we fit into these environmental regulations. Most of these individuals are in the USDA, and several are employed at this laboratory."
Barry Evans, incoming president of Plains Cotton Growers Inc., said he depends on a combination of allied industries and research entities to help produce high quality cotton. "I don't farm in a vacuum," he said. "And one of the most important (entities) is the USDA Agricultural Research Service Ginning Laboratory here in Lubbock. As a cotton producer the USDA-ARS Gin Lab is important to my farm. The membership of Plains Cotton Growers strongly encourages our elected representatives in Congress to recognize the value this facility provides to our region and work to maintain support for it in the new budget."
Evans said the gin lab hones in on specific challenges High Plains cotton growers face, including harvest efficiency and methodology."
He said recent shifts in cotton variety options for the region brought the realization that the harvest techniques used for many years need updating. Changes in harvest aid programs and potential to pick instead of strip cotton provide new challenges to growers. "Add the new wrinkle of on-board moduling systems on new John Deere and Case cotton pickers and it becomes clear that growers have a lot of questions that can best be answered with the assistance of the experts at the Lubbock Gin Lab. Those are the same kinds of questions the lab helped answer during development and introduction of the bur extractor on cotton pickers and strippers and development and introduction of present-day cotton moduling and transportation systems. They are also the reason this facility was created."
Speakers also pointed out that West Texas is the most important cotton production area in the country and probably the world. Texas will account for half the country's acreage this year. West Texas, the area served by the Lubbock Gin Lab, will produce one-third the nation's cotton acreage.
It makes little sense, speakers said, to close a gin lab that performs such essential research in an area with such unique growing conditions.
Gary Gregory, chairman of the Lubbock chamber of commerce, said the lab is indicative of the city's strong dependence on agriculture. "The lab is a leader in research and we encourage continued funding. It is important to Lubbock's economy."

Application Information
Program Documents
Get Started with NRCS
How to Obtain a DUNS Number and CCR Account
The Soil Health Initiative offers technical and financial assistance to New Jersey agricultural producers to implement multi-species cover crops and companion conservation practices. USDA, Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) established this Initiative through the Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP), and EQIP eligibility requirements apply.
The goal of the soil health initiative in New Jersey is to achieve healthy functioning soil through implementation of Conservation Cropping Systems that address the four soil health planning principles:
EQIP Application Information
Producers must submit a complete program application and other documentation to support eligibility to be considered for financial assistance through EQIP. NRCS accepts and processes EQIP applications on a continuous basis, but sets application periods to review applications and award contracts. View Current Funding Opportunities for current application periods.
The Core Practice for New Jersey Soil Health Initiative is multi-species crop mix including 3 or more species maintained over a minimum of 90 days. The multi-species mix must be applied on the same acreage for three consecutive years. Applicants that have received payment for cover crop, but have not met our guidelines for a diverse cover crop, may still be eligible for this initiative to install the higher level of treatment. The seeding mixes must be approved mixes from Table 1 or Table 2 in the NJ NRCS Cover Crop Standard.
For Spring and Summer planted cover crop, termination should not occur prior to:
For Winter cover crop, the most limiting planting date of the mix must be met or another species shall be added to the mix to ensure that a minimum of three species in the mix meet the planting date.
Supporting Practices available to producers through the Initiative to complement the multi-species cover crop mix and help ensure that the resource concerns are addressed while implementing and managing the cover crop include:
Ongoing Soil Health Assessment
The NRCS-NJ Soils Team visit the farm to establish a baseline condition for fields enrolled in the EQIP Soil Health Initiative and then conduct a soil health assessment periodically over the next three years. These analyses will help monitor changes in soil health where cover crops and companion practices have been implemented.
Soil analyses will include, but are not limited to:

The Crisis in Crime HOW TO CRACK DOWN ON RAPE By JOHN A. McCREIGHT/Partner, New York JAMES A. LASH/Manager, Detroit, and HAROLD A. KATERSKY/Manager, Detroit Of all the crimes committed in our cities, two receive the most publicity and create the greatest emotional impact. These are murder and rape. Together, these two crimes account for less than one half of one percent of all police runs in major cities. For example, in Detroit, the emergency telephone answering center receives approximately 1,800,000 calls per year; dispatches police cars 900,000 to 1,000,000 times per year; and records between 2,000 and 2,500 homicides and rapes. Obviously the reason these two crimes receive such attention is because of their potential ability to shatter human lives. Murder and rape are not the only crimes to have increased in recent years, of course. Indeed, many police officials forecast that today's significant unemployment figures will increase the pressures behind all types of crime. I n any event, fighting crime has now become one of our top national priorities. Today a greater percentage of most municipal budgets is used to fight crime than is used by all other city services combined. Since the federal Law Enforcement Assistance Administration (LEAA) was formed in the 1960s, several billion dollars have been distributed through state and local planning agencies, to police departments, courts, prosecutors, defenders, drug programs, juvenile delinquency programs, correction facilities, and many other elements of the criminal justice system. Even the costs to a city for maintaining the status quo have increased dramatically. For example, patrolmen's salaries (including fringe benefits) have passed $20,000 per year in many communities. The direct cost of fielding one two-man marked police car 24 hours a day, seven days a week, exceeds $250,000 annually. What has been the return on this investment in crime prevention? This article will deal with the "attack" on one specific crime that was undertaken by the Detroit police department and the relationship of that attack to the need for improvements throughout the criminal justice process. The crime selected by the city for its first attack effort was rape. This article will examine how to deal with both the crime itself and the victim, how to educate both the public and the police, and finally how new techniques of investigation and prosecution may apply to "attacks" on other specific crimes. The rape reduction effort was one of many factors which eventually led police and city executives to a fundamental reorganization of the entire police department. By way of background, here are four statements that highlight why rape presents a particular problem to the criminal justice system. • Only half of all rapes occur between strangers. The rapist is just as likely to be someone met casually at a party, a brother's boyfriend, or a stepfather. • It is often debated whether or not most rape is "caused" by the victim—the babysitter alone at home who doesn't pull the blinds; the woman who travels alone at night in areas known to be unsafe; the girl who stands alone at night at a bus stop. • Rape sometimes occurs as the aftermath of another crime: a kidnapping in an automobile, an assault in a back street or alley, or a simple breaking and entering into a home. • Many rapes are never reported. When a rape is reported, the police are often criticized for their attitudes. They are regarded as being insensitive to the victim's trauma. Their response is usually that the victim's reaction and behavior are quite understandable to them but that her attitude, in turn, is often crippling to the criminal justice system. First, they point out, many calls which originally are reported as rapes turn out to be nothing more than disagreements between lovers. Second, the evidence will show that in some cases the crime is the victim's fault; a review of police records indicates that some women are repeatedly the victims of rape. Third, the police know that most rapes are perpetrated by men who will repeat the crime. However, they also know that the victim is unlikely to follow through the entire criminal justice process—a necessity if a conviction is to be obtained and the rapist taken off the street. Therefore, the incentive of the police finally to resolve the crime can be low—especially after the victim "backs out" of a good case, forcing the release of a known rapist. If a rape issuch an emotional crime, why don't the victims follow through to see that the rapist is jailed? First, most victims want only to forget the entire unpleasant event. The process of identifying the rapist, securing the warrants, establishing "probable cause," and then going to trial continually reminds the victim and her family of the experience. Due process can drag on for many months, sometimes more than a year. Second, although some states are revising their laws on rape, in most states the victim must prove that she didn't encourage the attack and that she resisted the crime. Prosecution should become easier, however, under a new statute in Michigan. For example, the victim need not resist. Emphasis is instead put on showing that force was used; and the use of a gun or knife implies force. The maximum sentence in Michigan was changed to life imprisonment, and the defendant may no longer use the history of the victim to show that she had a bad reputation. Florida has passed similar legislation, and California and Iowa have changed their laws relating to evidence. This can be significant, since giving courtroom testimony only adds to the victim's em- 13

On August 29, in the Liturgical Calendar of the catholic Church, we memorialize the martyrdom of Saint John the Baptist.
Two millennia after his illustrious mission as the harbinger of Christ, we readily accept, as we should, his prophetic role in the revelation of God's plan of salvation and the advent of the Gospel.
Yet, how might we have seen John if we had been his contemporaries?
Would we have so readily accepted him, or might we have rejected him as a fanatic or extremist?
Let's face it: John was peculiar. He dressed like a cave man, ate insects and railed at politicians for their fornications.
He sequestered himself in the desert where he tirelessly initiated converts fleeing the sinful pollution of the cities.
He proclaimed the end if the people failed to repent and he used vivid and mystical imagery.
In the popular "media" of the day, he was portrayed as a nut and dangerous fanatic.
John embodied what I call "the legacy of unpopular methodology". By standing apart, boldly calling out evil doers without regard to their prestige or rank, by challenging his own co-religionists, John made himself terribly "unpopular".
At the end, he publicly and relentlessly criticized the personal behavior of the most powerful politician in Judea, Herod. As a result he was arrested and executed as a traitor.
Today we tend to reject those who similarly publicly decry sin and heresy. Street preachers, prophets and clerics who confront sinful policies, bad behavior and false ideologies are decried as trouble makers, fanatics and dangerous "extremists".
Saint John the Baptist was a simple man, not a member of the elite. He was stirred by conscience and the Holy Spirit to call a spade a spade, and throw convention to the wind.
He paid dearly for it, and as Christians we inherit the abundant fruit of his daring investment.
That is the ultimate blessing of his unpopular methodology.

(For full coverage of the missile crisis, click [ID:nSP469853])
SEOUL, April 5 (Reuters) - Following is a full text of the English-language report on North Korea's KCNA news agency on Sunday saying the communist state had successfully put a satellite into orbit:
"Scientists and technicians of the DPRK (North Korea) have succeeded in putting satellite Kwangmyongsong-2, an experimental communications satellite, into orbit by means of carrier rocket Unha-2 under the state's long-term plan for the development of outer space.
"Unha-2, which was launched at the Tonghae Satellite Launching Ground in Hwadae County, North Hamgyong Province at 11:20 (0220 GMT) on April 5, accurately put Kwangmyongsong-2 into its orbit at 11:29:02, nine minutes and two seconds after its launch.
"The satellite is going round the earth along its elliptic orbit at the angle of inclination of 40.6 degrees at 490 km perigee and 1,426 km apogee. Its cycle is 104 minutes and 12 seconds.
"Mounted on the satellite are necessary measuring devices and communications apparatuses.
"The satellite is going round on its routine orbit.
"It is sending to the earth the melodies of the immortal revolutionary paeans 'Song of General Kim Il-sung' and 'Song of General Kim Jong-il' and measured information at 470 MHz. By the use of the satellite the relay communications is now underway by UHF frequency band.
"The satellite is of decisive significance in promoting the scientific researches into the peaceful use of outer space and solving scientific and technological problems for the launch of practical satellites in the future.
"Carrier rocket Unha-2 has three stages.
"The carrier rocket and the satellite developed by the indigenous wisdom and technology are the shining results gained in the efforts to develop the nation's space science and technology on a higher level.
"The successful satellite launch is symbolic of the leaping advance made in the nation's space science and technology was conducted against the background of the stirring period when a high-pitched drive for bringing about a fresh great revolutionary surge is under way throughout the country to open the gate to a great prosperous and powerful nation without fail by 2012, the centenary of the birth of President Kim Il-sung, under the far-reaching plan of leader Kim Jong-il.
"This is powerfully encouraging the Korean people all out in the general advance."

Allegro, Adagio, Presto change-o
One of the biggest challenges for many in the classical music world is finding new ways to get kids excited about symphony orchestras. For Chicago percussionist Michael Folker, the solution is simple: just use a little magic.
Folker is a Chicago percussionist who plays with the Ravinia Festival Orchestra, Chicago Opera Theater, the Joffrey Ballet Orchestra and other groups. Since 2001 he's been stepping out from behind the tympani, bass drums and gongs to center stage and using a new bag of tricks to perform as "The Amazing Carrington."
Folker is in Wayzata for a Friday evening performance of magic and music with the Allegro Con Brio orchestra.
As the Amazing Carrington, Folker isn't interested in simply creating illusions to orchestral accompaniment. He tells Minnesota Public Radio's Karl Gehrke that he wants to give young audiences an entertaining show that provides them with an understanding of classical music.

Many of us long for a retirement that will feel like going on a permanent vacation. But before we buy that beach bungalow, box up our stuff and break out the Costco-sized wine spritzers, a reality check may be in order.
Bankrate's latest ranking of the best and worst states to retire finds the fun-in-the-sun places often associated with retirement may have drawbacks as we face aging issues and our savings dwindle. Retiree meccas like Florida and Arizona don't come close to cracking our top 10.
#6. Virginia
Many do want to retire somewhere else - It's no myth that many people dream of moving in retirement. A new Bankrate survey shows that 47% of Americans would consider relocating when they retire. Higher-earning households and younger people are more likely to say so than everyone else.
According to our poll, Americans' priorities for a retirement haven suggest they're giving a lot of thought to practical considerations like cost of living and health care.
How we rate the states
To rank the states according to what people say they want in retirement, we pull together data on these eight criteria:
- Cost of living
- Healthcare quality
- Crime
- Cultural vitality
- Weather
- Taxes
- Senior citizens' overall well-being
- The prevalence of other seniors
Two of our categories are new: cultural vitality (whether residents can find fun stuff to do) and the prevalence of other seniors (whether it would be easy to find other retirees to hang out with).
We weight the factors based on the importance they were given in our survey.

Today's smartphones generally look like a small tablet, with some having a slide-out QWERTY keyboard that can be used in landscape mode. The form factor made popular by the iPhone works, but has its limits. Playing action games, for example, is lacking when compared to mobile gaming systems. Microsoft has some ideas that will fix this and other shortcomings with current smartphones.
Microsoft has applied for a patent titled Mobile Communication Device Having Multiple, Interchangeable Second Devices. It describes a number of modules that would greatly extend the capabilities of a smartphone beyond what any single form factor could do.
The phone operates as the primary device. The second device could be a physical keyboard, game controller, extra battery, or even a second mobile handset with another screen. These modules are all wireless and can be used in groups. For example, if you want to play a game, just pick up the gaming module and set the phone down or lean it against something. Now you can use the gaming module similar to the way you would use a controller with a console games.
The idea isn't all that new, but it may be the right time for it. The tablet form factor hasn't outlived its usefulness by any means, but the limits of what it can do have been explored. Multi-touch greatly impacts how these large screens are used. Manipulating objects like pictures, Web pages, or just scrolling with your finger is much better than the old days of using a stylus, but entering data hasn't gotten any better. Software tries to aid in data entry, and while useful sometimes, it just as often creates amusing or embarrassing content. Sometimes there is no substitute for a good keyboard.
Having the keyboard as a separate module allows you to get some serious work done, but many phones can do that today. Where this gets interesting is you can have several modules working in conjunction with each other. You could use multiple modules together, say a keyboard with two displays. Or the phone would be the main module and could be used to display an article. A second module could be a screen with an email app on it, and a third module could be the keyboard you are using to type the email while referencing the article on the first screen. A fourth module could be an external battery used to keep the whole setup going for hours.
Microsoft only has one chassis spec for its Windows Phone 7 platform right now. It will be interesting to see if any of this makes it into subsequent chassis specs in the future. If anyone is capable of some cool hardware designs, it is Microsoft's key partner, Nokia. Think any of this will make it to market by 2012 or 2013?

Parting shots
PITTSBURGH — It goes without saying that the coaches who were recently let go by the Blue Jays aren't happy, and know that the coaches who survived the firings aren't all pleased with everything that's gone on around the team either.
This was a tough weekend for a lot of people around the Jays camp.
The coaches who are still with the club — pitching coach Brad Arnsberg, bench coach Brian Butterfield and bullpen coach Bruce Walton — are each only signed through this year and it's an open question whether they may consider their options at the end of the season in light of the recent developments.
Former first-base coach and long-time Toronto coach/player Ernie Whitt is the first of the fired coaches to air his thoughts. Here's some of what he told the Toronto Sun in a story by Bob Elliott in today's paper:
"The word 'disappointment' doesn't fit. The word 'shock' doesn't accurately describe how I feel.
"I understand that, when a team is not performing, the manager's job is on the line. When we're not hitting, the hitting instructor's job is on the line. Usually, if the manager is fired, the bench takes over or the bench coach is fired. This is difficult to accept or to understand.
"J.P. Ricciardi wanted me to quit last year by re-assigning me. He has wanted to get rid of me for a while. All the time I was there, he never once asked my opinion. Gibbons would, as a game would unfold.
"I thought I had people in my corner. I go back a long way with Paul Godfrey, with people close to the team like Herb Solway and Paul Beeston. … I'm beyond angry, I'm beyond shock. I am trying to take the high road, but if I did something wrong, I wish they'd have explained it to me.
"I thought giving my loyalty and passion to the game, the city of Toronto, the Jays fans and this organization meant something. The love I have for this organization, my God, and all of a sudden it has been pulled away. That's the biggest disappointment. The best answer I can come up with is they thought it was a good time to get rid of me.
"I still feel I'm the best manager Toronto has never hired."

This just proves what I have posted earlier. The real problem is at the top down. It's well past time for Mr. Rogers to move Godfrey into a different position within Rogers and bring in Pat Gillick or some other good baseball man as President. Jp is becoming a daily embarrassment in handling team affairs.
I agree with the firings of Gibbons and the other coaches, but i do not think this should be the last firing we see from the Jays this year. Gibbons and the others deserved to be fired because of the teams performance but so does Jp. Ricciardi said he could build a winning team on less money than the Jays are spending now and it didn't work, in my mind his only real claim of any success is being Billy Beane's protege but the Oakland GM hasn't won anything using his system and Ricciardi hasn't won anything with his own version of the system. Ricciardi needs to be fired ASAP and then the Blue Jays can start to rebuild their team and fix the mistakes made by that greasy rat of a GM.
So a guy with no real experience thinks he's the best manager the Jays never hired. With all due respect to Ernie, give me a break.
Good win on Sunday by the Jays. The only concern that remains was that it was 2 of the worst pitchers in the league numbers wise, but kudos to them for getting the job done regardless. I was especially happy to see Adam Lind have the day that he had.
Although I'm kind of on the fence when it comes to JP (I don't think he's nearly as bad or as good as his critics and supporters believe he is), Ernie Whitt really stuck his foot in his mouth here. Ernie did a lot of great things for the Jays as a player, but where does he come off saying that everyone on the coaching staff is to blame except him? And "I'm the best manager the Jays never hired"? Give me a break! He has no minor league experience and he's managed Team Canada for a couple of weeks here and there. That's hardly the credentials to slide right into a Major League managerial position.
Good luck to Ernie, but he's got to learn to keep his mouth shut. Didn't he learn anything from the JP/Dunn fallout?
So now we know Dunn is not coming back, Whitt is not coming back and AJ is prolly not gonna come back and how many countless other players that we don't know about that don't wanna come to Toronto because of JP…he deserves to be fired, personally i don't think he made the team any better with a higher payroll.
I seems to me like the players aren't really happy about the coaching changes. Guys like Wells and Rolen have defended Denbo etc. saying that the lack of agressiveness was never the game plan. It's the hitters just not getting the job done. Then you have a guy like Tennace coming in saying he needs to "reprogram" the hitters. Maybe it's just me but if I was struggling and a guy said he wanted to "reprogram" me I would tell him to stick it! Hitting is a mechanical element just like pitching and all it takes is a tinny little hitch to throw you off your timing… But Tenace isn't really big on mechanics, he is more of a mental guy. Ha. We should just hire shrinks to run this team if that's all there is to it.
LOL…well we tried Denbo he didn`t work…the thing was that Gaston wanted his own staff so Tenace was in and lets see if he works (the 8 run showing worked though)
from what I hear Stairs actually implied that he is happy that Denbo was fired. I'm sure there are others, but that's all i've heard so far. Some guys probably just don't want to slag the guy after his been fired.
Oh and Wells is generally a swing early in the count type of guy anyway, so naturally Denbo wouldn't effect him as much. A guy like Overbay however seemed to take a lot of pitches then magically swung at the first one in the bat that he doubled in Pittsburgh. Coincidence ? probably….we'll obviously need to see a bigger sample size.
Don't get me wrong, I think a coaching change was needed because you can't trade your entire team away… I just wasn't a big fan of the way Tennace was speaking. It was a me me me I I I thing and I can't stand that, especially from a COACH. It is up to the hitters to know their strengths and use them, plain and simple. It is up to the coach to point out flaws in mechanics and help a hitter prepare, not to "reprogram" a hitter.
I'm gonna disagree with you here. From a technical angle, I don't think anything is wrong with most of the hitters swings and such. I think the problem is they've been 'programmed' if you like, to take pitches, work counts, and try to get on base by any way possible. While admirable in itself, walks and sacrifices alone don't make for a winner. These guys aren't major league hitters by fluke. They -CAN- hit. I think Tenace is just saying – "Let's get these guys back to doing what they can do" A guy with 40 years of baseball experience most likely has a trick or two that can relax a hitter, or get him thinking "I'm going to hit this pitch" rather than "I need to defend the plate". I would argue that Tenace is basically trying to lead by example with a bit of overt confidence.
"Hey if he's confident in me – I'll be confident in me" – that sort of thing.
Just my 2 cents.
For those interested check this out:
pretty interesting stuff.
I really wonder why JP thinks he can tell news guys BS and not have them check his story-does he think they're stupid or something? Like what the hell is wrong with this guy?
JP-they already have oupegged as a habitual liar, so next time don't bs them, particulary on an issue as stupid as this.
I agree Sumner.
It's getting ridiculous when it comes to what he says.
Really quick inning by Burnett, very nice to see.
It's hard not to believe a hitting coach doesn't make much of a difference when i'm witnessing this. Such a different approach for these guys so far.
Hail the all mighty Gene Tennace!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tenace and Gaston's charm is working, LIND IS HITTING (if he can keep this going, boy he is gonna be great for us imagine an outfeild with wells, rios and lind where each of the mare hitting at the top of their potential)
and totally agree with last comment rmatty

Organizational and Individual Level Antecedents of Procedural Governance in Knowledge Sharing AlliancesGry Knudsen, Line; Bernhard Nielsen, Bo (København, 2008)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Inter-organizational collaboration is an organizational form that is used by an increasing number of firms to meet a wide range of organizational aims (Hagedoorn 1996; 2002; Narula, 2004; Casson and Mol, 2006). Inter-organizational alliances are a preferred way of sourcing a variety of resources (Eisenhardt and Shonhoven, 1996; Gulati, 1999; Van de Ven and Walker, 1998), and a prominent view of the strategic alliance literature suggests that inter-firm collaboration has a special strength in serving as a mechanism by which a firm can leverage its skills, acquire new competencies, and learn (e.g. Kogut, 1989; Hamel, Doz, and Prahalad, 1989; Huber, 1991; Larsson, Bengtsson, Henriksson, and Sparks, 1998; Lyles, 1988; Powell and Brantley, 1992; Inkpen and Tsang, 2008). As firms collaborate at an increasing rate (Khanna et al, 1998) it becomes still more important to understand how these firms can be instrumental in organizing and governing the various collaborative knowledge processes that take place in alliances.

Captain's Report
The Heart of the Beast
The technology begins with Formula's Advanced Speed, Stability, Structural Technology (FAS³Tech) multi-plane hull. It incorporates three separate running surfaces produced by two steps built into the hull. The "steps" serve to force air under the hull and reduce surface friction for an even faster ride than a boat with a smooth deep-V. Some builders put in one step, but Formula puts in two. This stepped bottom has proven itself by dominating the APBA Factory 2 circuit for several years. Formula has earned several National and World Championships using race-rigged versions of the same performance hull that can be bought in their recreational version.
Limit HP and Don't Sacrifice the Weight
Because Formula doesn't want to strive for the fastest boat, they're free to do two key things: keep the horsepower between 850 and 1400 and add strength to the hull by slightly sacrificing weight savings. Formula adds the strength (and weight) and the amenities. Rather than use a traditional stringer system injected with super light closed-cell foam, Formula utilizes a separately made fiberglass grid system that gets chemically bonded to the hull. The result is a heavier, stronger boat, and that means a more solid riding boat and therefore a safer boat. And yes...slightly slower, but so far no one's complained.
And Then There Are the Amenities
The stern features four-across seating. The dual bucket seats are McLeod offshore-style seats that wraparound both operator and navigator for comfort in sustained high-speed operations. Rocker switches on each armrest actuate the electric bolster and the electrically actuated footrest. All seats are treated with Prefixx for easy cleanup. Cabin access is through a centerline companionway.
The helm is laid out with Livorsi Monster & Redline backlit gauges. One's right hand will rest comfortably on the Livorsi chromed shifters/throttles with an in-handle outdrive trim switch at their thumb position. The Kenwood waterproof dash-mounted multi-feature stereo remote control is just above the engine controls, and fingertip K-Plane and outdrive trim override switches just ahead of the remote.
The Cabin
Moving below, the cabin is nicely appointed. Fully forward is a bow berth upholstered in Ultraleather. Just aft is a wraparound lounge/dinette which by lowering the Corian table, can convert to another double berth should the boater decide to bring another pair of friends to spend the night.
Power Options
The base boat is powered by a pair of 430-hp 8.2 MAG High Output MerCruiser engines attached to B1X outdrives ($429,730). There are nine upgrade choices topping out at a pair of Mercury Racing 700-hp SCi NXT1s ($595,570). If that engine option is chosen, then one will surely want the Mercury Racing X-Haust noise reduction system as well (add $17,450).
While still addressing the need for speed, Formula also managed to squeeze in creature comforts that are not found on some competing brands. In this manner, Formula is managing to fill a niche market with a go-fast boat that has a comfortable and classy side, and as much brute force that is wanted up to 1400-hp. It's a "have your cake and eat it too" boat that will be around for a long time. At least long enough for Formula to feel at ease by standing behind the boat with a 10-year structural warranty.
All high-performance boats are not the same. Some are built in a rented bay in an industrial park by enthusiasts who were somewhere else yesterday and will be gone tomorrow. They have virtually no overhead, do not follow ABYC standards, are not NMMA certified and will often disappear at the first sign of a lawsuit. That is why when buying any boat, much less a high-performance vessel, one should go with an established company such as Formula.And, let's face it – these boats can be dangerous, because speed can be dangerous. If the boater thinks they are ready to move up into the rarified atmosphere of a high performance boat, and they can afford it, then our recommendation is that they go with a brand whose management and culture is dedicated to safety as well as speed. Formula is one such company.

If you care about California and its schools, you should make time to read this new report from EdSource, a not-for-profit that tries to clarify complex educational issues.
EdSource's latest task: getting to the bottom of competing claims about how California stacks up against other states when it comes to financial commitment to public education. Are we too cheap with our schools? Or wasting money?
The report's conclusions: California spends less per-pupil than the national average -- much less if labor costs are considered. The state is pretty similar to the rest of country in how it spends school money -- about two-thirds goes to instruction (though some of our administraitve costs are higher). The states leads in teacher salaries -- but also asks teachers to do more, with very low staff-to-pupil ratios compared to the rest of the country.
A link to the full report is here.

I came across this article about programming styles, seen by Edsger Dijsktra. To quickly paraphrase, the main difference is Mozart, when the analogy is made to programming, fully understood (debatable) the problem before writing anything, while Beethoven made his decisions as he wrote the notes out on paper, creating many revisions along the way. With Mozart programming, version 1.0 would be the only version for software that should aim to work with no errors and maximum efficiency. Also, Dijkstra says software not at that level of refinement and stability should not be released to the public.
Based on his views, two questions. Is Mozart programming even possible? Would the software we write today really benefit if we adopted the Mozart style instead?
My thoughts. It seems, to address the increasing complexity of software, we've moved on from this method to things like agile development, public beta testing, and constant revisions, methods that define web development, where speed matters most. But when I think of all the revisions web software can go through, especially during maintenance, when often patches are applied over patches, to then be refined through a tedious refactoring process—the Mozart way seems very attractive. It would at least lessen those annoying software updates, e.g. Digsby, Windows, iTunes, etc., many the result of unforeseen vulnerabilities that require a new and immediate release.
Edit: Refer to the response below for a more accurate explanation of Dijsktra's views.

Positive News on a Smelly Subject: New Technologies, Policies Improve the Septic Tank
January 04, 2013
The below article originally appeared in the Bay Journal News Service last week.
who make our living lamenting the lack of progress on improving the environment
must applaud when it does rear its head, even as we refrain from clapping too
A decade ago there wasn't much of anything hopeful to say about septic tanks from the bay's standpoint: "outhouse technology in the 21st century," I called them; "a 50-year-old grossly polluting waste system…"
Septic tanks had mostly fulfilled their original purpose of protecting human health where central sewers weren't available by filtering bacteria in household waste through the soil.
But this very process ensures that bay-polluting nitrogen in wastes passes into groundwater and thence to streams, rivers and the Chesapeake.
So for bay water quality, there was no such thing as a failing septic tank. They were all failing, all of the time.
Septic tanks also served as a crude substitute for zoning to protect rural lands from development. Significant acreages in most counties were too steep, rocky or soggy to pass soil percolation tests required to site homes on septic.
But still there was sprawl—development that used large lots and prime farm soils to enable developers to pass 'perc' tests.
The septic story had little prospect of changing, I wrote in 2002.
But now, for the first time since outhouse days, the septic tank as we have known it is on the run. In Maryland, the government finally decided that restricting septics is critical to both water quality and anti-sprawl goals. That's a powerful linkage.
In 2011, Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley proposed essentially ending development that used septic systems—restricting all but minor subdivisions of a few homes. His proposal closely followed what Worcester County on the lower Eastern Shore has been doing successfully to protect its farmland.
Fierce opposition resulted in a weaker, but still restrictive law. It's estimated the law will eliminate about 50,000 of 116,000 new lots that otherwise would have developed using septic systems in the next couple of decades.
Also, beginning in January, all septic tanks that will still be installed must use a new, more expensive technology that cuts nitrogen pollution in half. Virginia is considering the same technology.
No good deed goes unpunished, and pushback has already begun, part of a broader agenda by several counties that allege restoring the Chesapeake amounts to a "war on rural Maryland."
1000 Friends of Maryland, an environmental land use group, reports several counties are working already on ways to avoid restricting rural development.
Some of the most worrisome are Charles, Cecil and Queen Anne's counties, the group says, as all are under substantial growth pressure.
The law allows counties to designate a portion of their lands outside areas planned for sewer systems where continued sprawl development on septic tanks can continue. This is where some jurisdictions will try to get away with murder, while others will be responsible.
The state's Department of Planning can jawbone against this, and require additional public hearings. The law also precludes septic-based sprawl in areas "dominated" by forestland and agriculture; although the precise meaning of "dominated" was left vague.
The bottom line is that unchecked, several counties probably can and clearly will try to keep on sprawling and polluting.
But just as clearly, the new law affords a footing for citizens who care about farms, forests and the bay to fight back; to engage in a war FOR rural Maryland.
Here's why it's critical. While the progress with septic tanks is remarkable given the last half century of no progress, it's still far from the progress the bay needs.
Both with water pollution and sprawl, the new septic requirements only slow the rate at which things will get worse.
The less-polluting technology will apply mostly to new construction, not to most of the 400,000 septic tanks that already exist across Maryland. (A program to replace failing septics with new technology has done less than 1 percent of existing septic tanks.)
And while new and improved septic tanks cut pollution by about half compared with older versions, they still produce several times as much pollution, per capita, as a modern sewage treatment plant.
"The total (nitrogen) load will not go down from all this…just grow more slowly," said Jay Prager, an expert on septic tanks for the Maryland Department of Environment (MDE).
Meanwhile, he said, to meet its 2025 federal bay cleanup goals, Maryland must actually reduce septic pollution by nearly 40 percent.
Similarly, while the state's recent restriction on the development of rural lots using septic systems is bona fide and dramatic progress on combating sprawl, it still allows thousands of such new homes a year.
"What we've done is a real game changer," said Richard Hall, Maryland's Secretary of Planning. "At the same time it still means we're just digging ourselves into a hole slower. What we need is to quit digging the hole."

Wheres all the people who posted on here back in 2010?
wfc's ole # 203
they're off driving either a Lexus, something euro or a Toyota Tacoma / 4runner
lol that's pretty spot on for a lot of them
absolutely true. I still prefer forums over facebook. Makes it way easier to find a topic and chat about it. Ten seconds on an active facebook forum and a topic is lost forever.
Yup, even finding something you posted for sale on there is a complete mess. Lol. I visited the stancenation forums yesterday and it's sad that all it is now is a bunch of spam posts. Looks like no upkeep has been done on it for a long time.
I still prefer forums over any facebook group any day of the week.

I haven't been on the SN forum in a bit. But stance works is actually still active
If I had the money (and wasn't trying to buy a house) I'd probably try to get into a new Ford Lightning that Pioneer Ford down in GA is offering.

lol im here, working behind the scenes... usually approving the 1-3 new members we get per week or so, and yeah i drive my 4runner more than my other cars now haha the Subaru just sits in the garage, its needed new tires for a long time now, and the Lexus sits next to it keeping the mileage down, i still need to put on the lip kit on that car, its been a couple of years since i got it
i just wish the forum didn't die down like it did, but most forums have.. Instagram killed the forum. Things like this will come full circle though, people will move on, and we'll still be here, thats the only reason i have continued to keep the forum running.
We need to get the OGs back and revive the forum. So much more cozy and community oriented in forums

i check forums all day long lol
I totally remember coming on here everyday but then kinda fizzled out. With like IG blowing up and the photo bucket not working anymore I got annoyed with forums lol. But I hate the fb groups at times because you ask one thing and either people wanna troll or argue.
INSTA: @jeremeyalan
I'm not an OG.. but, I hope forums come back. I always found forums to be very helpful, less hostile, and more community oriented. It helped a lot with info readily available, served as good inspiration from others around you, and being to bond with other people who are interested in the same things as you. Wish I was around when the forums were really busy.
I remember when I was on here... maybe 2012 time? It was damn good back then.
