"Toyota launched a total of 13 recall campaigns in 2011 covering over 3.5 million vehicles. Those figures put the Japanese automaker at the top of the most-recalled list for the third year in a row, according to Ward's Auto. Between 2009 and 2010, Toyota recalled nearly 11.5 million vehicles in North America for a variety of reasons, including troublesome floor mats and sticky accelerators tied to the company's unintended acceleration woes. The company says that around 85 per cent of vehicles involved in the pedal recall have been fixed, with lower volume models continuing to trickle into dealers.
But Toyota wasn't the only automaker with recall woes in 2011. Ford found itself in second place for the number of vehicles recalled this year with 10 campaigns covering 3.2 million vehicles. For its part, General Motors issued a total of 21 recalls, but the fixes involved far fewer vehicles: 455,901."

New Season Kicks Off with "Celebrity Week," Airing September 17-21,
Featuring Mo'Nique, Paula Deen, Cheech Marin, Jackée and Tony Dovolani
Millionaire Also Welcomes Cast Members from "General Hospital,"
"American Pickers" and Broadway's "The Lion King" This Season
NEW YORK (August 28, 2012) - "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire," known for its unpredictable fun and life-changing cash prizes, will debut its eleventh season in syndication on Monday, September 3, 2012. The hit game show is helmed by Emmy Award-winner Meredith Vieira, who has hosted over 1,800 episodes and given away more than $70 million to "Millionaire" contestants since the show debuted in 2002. Check local listings or go to http://www.millionairetv.com for time and channel.
You never know what will happen on "Millionaire"! Each weekday, contestants are given the extraordinary chance to turn their lives around and win $1-million by answering 14 general knowledge trivia questions. As America's richest game show, "Millionaire" continues to be the only game show to offer a $1-million prize to each and every contestant. With its cleverly written trivia questions that reveal fun and entertaining facts, contestants and viewers alike are able to get a playful learning experience filled with dramatic suspense that keeps everyone on the edge of their seats.
Last season "Millionaire" hosted several celebrity contestants who won over one million dollars for various charities. The show will continue its tradition of giving by kicking off its 11th season with a brand new installment of "Celebrity Week" to benefit the Alzheimer's Association. The series will air September 17-21 in conjunction with World Alzheimer's Day on Friday, September 21. Participating celebrities include OSCAR(R) and Golden Globe-winning actress Mo'Nique, America's favorite cook and best-selling author, Paula Deen, comedian and actor Cheech Marin, television icon Jackée and Tony Dovolani from "Dancing with the Stars."
"Millionaire" also will present several single episodes featuring famous faces from the entertainment industry. "Millionaire" will celebrate ABC's "General Hospital" by hosting cast members who will play the game for charity. In return, Meredith Vieira will have a cameo on "GH," leading up to the show's 50th anniversary on ABC in April, 2013. Mike Wolfe and Frank Fritz from History Channel's "American Pickers" will play on "Millionaire" to benefit America's VetDogs, an organization that provides assistance dogs and training to disabled veterans and active service members.
During "Millionaire's" "Broadway Week," contestants will have the chance to win tickets to see a Broadway show in addition to their "Millionaire" money. As part of the specialty week, cast members from "The Lion King" will play on "Millionaire" for charity and Meredith Vieira will make a cameo appearance at Broadway's Minskoff Theatre in "The Lion King's" iconic opening number, "Circle of Life," in celebration of the production's 15th anniversary. Contestants will be able to win a Disney Cruise Vacation during "Millionaire's Cruise In and Win Week" and, during a separate vacation giveaway week, can win a Walt Disney World(R) Resort vacation to experience the new Fantasyland at the Magic Kingdom(R) Park, opening in December.
Several popular themed weeks will be brought back this season, including "Movie Week," featuring movie trivia buffs answering movie-themed questions, and "Double Your Money Week," where contestants can win as much as $50,000 by doubling the money attached to any single randomly selected question in the first round of the game. "Double Your Money" episodes will air throughout the season, with inaugural episodes airing October 1-5.
"Millionaire" will continue the enormously popular format changes which were implemented in 2010, highlighted by the removal of the famed "hot seat," the addition of "Jump the Question" lifelines and randomized questions with shuffled monetary values. From the very first question, viewers now see more strategy and unpredictability as a contestant's hardest question can be worth as little as $100, while their easiest question can be worth as much as $25,000! For "Millionaire's" 11th season, the show has moved to a brand new studio and will use a newly-constructed set with several updates that will modernize the look of the show to match its upbeat and energetic format.
Make sure to keep up-to-date with all things "Millionaire"!

Medium- and heavy-duty trucks, motor coaches, and transit buses - collectively, "medium- and heavy-duty vehicles", or MHDVs - are used in every sector of the economy. The fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions of MHDVs have become a focus of legislative and regulatory action in the past few years. Reducing the Fuel Consumption and Greenhouse Gas Emissions of Medium- and Heavy-Duty Vehicles, Phase Two is a follow-on to the National Research Council's 2010 report, Technologies and Approaches to Reducing the Fuel Consumption of Medium-and Heavy-Duty Vehicles. That report provided a series of findings and recommendations on the development of regulations for reducing fuel consumption of MHDVs.
This report comprises the first periodic, five-year follow-on to the 2010 report. Reducing the Fuel Consumption and Greenhouse Gas Emissions of Medium- and Heavy-Duty Vehicles, Phase Two reviews NHTSA fuel consumption regulations and considers the technological, market and regulatory factors that may be of relevance to a revised and updated regulatory regime taking effect for model years 2019-2022. The report analyzes and provides options for improvements to the certification and compliance procedures for medium- and heavy-duty vehicles; reviews an updated analysis of the makeup and characterization of the medium- and heavy-duty truck fleet; examines the barriers to and the potential applications of natural gas in class 2b through class 8 vehicles; and addresses uncertainties and performs sensitivity analyses for the fuel consumption and cost/benefit estimates.

Seeking freedom for everyone
While the country has been sprinting toward the freedom to marry for gay couples, the Texas Tribune noted last year that, "Texans appear to have been moseying along in the same direction." Moseying may be turning into a dash here soon.
On Wednesday a federal court in San Antonio will hear arguments in a landmark case that, at its core, is about strengthening family and individual liberty. The case has been brought by two Texas couples — Cleopatra De Leon and Nicole Dimetman and Vic Holmes and Mark Phariss — who wish to be able to marry where they and their loved ones live, here in the heart of Texas.
They are challenging the Texas ban on gay couples marrying, a blot on our state Constitution that is both unconstitutional on equal protection grounds and morally wrong.
The couples rightly argue that all Texans should have the freedom to marry the person they love. They invoke the Supreme Court's rulings, from Loving v. Virginia striking down race restrictions on marriage to last year's Windsor holding that the federal government had no legitimate reason for treating some married couples differently from others, just because they are gay. The moral question on the table is, do we treat others as we would want to be treated? Aren't we all striving to follow the Golden Rule without succumbing to divisiveness and discrimination? Aren't we all God's children? We think that most Americans, and most Texans, would agree: The answer is a resounding yes.
The discussion around dinner tables is about the right to marry — not what churches can or cannot do. Churches and other religious institutions will always be free — as they are now — to decide whom they want to marry. Religious freedom, like equal protection and the freedom to marry, is a bedrock constitutional principle of this great country. But the government should not be discriminatorily denying committed couples marriage licenses.
The nonpartisan James A. Baker Public Policy Center at Rice University continues to highlight the "sea change" on gay rights. About 60 percent of Texans favor either marriage or civil unions for same-sex couples according to polling by the University of Texas. Fifty-nine percent of residents 18-29 back the freedom to marry, which is in line with the national trend among younger generations. Nationwide, multiple polls show that a solid majority of Latinos and African-Americans support the freedom to marry.
Corporate America sees where our journey is headed. Major brands, some with a large footprint in Texas — such as AT&T, American Airlines, BP, Dell and Texas Instruments — support rights because it's the right thing to do. And it's because it is good for business and for communities that want to compete in the global marketplace.
None of the fear-mongering arguments against the freedom to marry has come true in the 17 states — including Iowa, Maine and New Mexico, hardly bastions of liberal politics — that have ended their bans and allowed committed same-sex couples to marry.
Like the majority of Americans nationwide, Texans are coming to the conclusion that excluding same-sex couples from marriage is wrong. After all, we believe in individual responsibility and the pursuit of happiness, and know that freedom means freedom for all.
Two of the plaintiffs served in the military — De Leon in the Air Force, followed by the Texas Air National Guard at Lackland, and Holmes, stationed at the Naval Medical Center in San Diego, followed by assignments in Wichita Falls, for a total of more than 20 years of service. Both put themselves in harm's way to protect our freedoms. In turn, they should have the freedom to marry the person they love.
It's a matter of when, not if — and when it comes to standing for family and freedom, Texas should lead, not lag.

As I pointed out in April, the FDA is refusing to test fish for radioactivity, even though water currents will eventually bring debris from Fukushima:
The debris mass, which appears as an island from the air, contains cars, trucks, tractors, boats and entire houses floating in the current heading toward the U.S. and Canada, according to ABC News.The bulk of the debris will likely not be radioactive, as it was presumably washed out to sea during the initial tsunami – before much radioactivity had leaked. But this shows the power of the currents from Japan to the West Coast.
Of course, fish don't necessarily stay still, either. For example, the Telegraph notes that scientists tagged a bluefin tuna and found that it crossed between Japan and the West Coast three times in 600 days:
That might be extreme, but the point is that fish exposed to radiation somewhere out in the ocean might end up in U.S. waters.
Nuclear engineer Arnie Gundersen doesn't think there will be a risk within the next year. But as the plume spreads across the Pacific, and as small fish get eaten by bigger fish (i.e. bioaccumulation), it would be prudent to measure radiation in fish caught off the West Coast of the U.S. (and Hawaii), and Gundersen suggests we contact our representatives and demand measurement:
The waste will move at a speed of between 5 and 10 miles a day, catching the North Pacific Current and crossing the ocean in as little as 12 months.
Off the coast of California, debris is expected to circulate either north or south, taking either the Alaskan or North Equatorial currents back to the western reaches of the ocean.
Much is predicted to end up caught in the vortex of the Eastern Garbage Patch, which is estimated to measure between 270,000 square miles and 5.8 million square miles.
"Over time plastic debris eventually fragments into tiny particles creating 'plastic plankton' or 'microplastic,' which is a serious long-term concern, particularly for marine food webs." the organisation said.

7:06 – The entire opening segment was about the Jets and Mark Sanchez. Ravens mentioned only in passing. Shock.
7:08 – Someone needs to tell the fine folks at Wrangler that, not only does Mr. Favre not play for the Packers any more (oh, you haven't heard?) – his shirt is yellow with a green #4 on it – but NOBODY LIKES HIM! His days as an effective jeans-seller are about 4 years in the past. FIX YO COMMERCIALS
7:15 – Cris Carter just gave us this gem, regarding the aforementioned (number)
fore four: "Your body can only just entail so much." Wtf. This man gets paid to talk on TV. Do we have a replacement for Emmitt?
7:16 – Not to be outdone, Chris "Rooting for Favre is like rooting for America" Berman chimes in with "he's a kid playing a game," about Favre. I need to note that he said this with a completely straight face.
7:18 – After 18 minutes, we finally get a promise that the Monday Night Countdown crew, will, at some point…talk about the Ravens, as there is a preview for an upcoming segment about Joe Flacco. I've had enough of these idiots for a while…
7:24 – Flacco is the subject, so I couldn't help myself. Cris Carter adds himself to the list of idiots who apply the baseball-based "sophomore jinx" to football. Hearing him criticize the Ravens for not "giving Flacco more weapons," I'm starting to think he shares a brain with Anita Marks. I swear, if he brings up Anquan Boldin or Brandon Marshall and/or his fantasy teams, I'm done. CC is staking himself to the early lead for stupidest pre-game show panel member.
7:52 – Prompted by Berman making no sense, Carter just admits that he needs a dictionary. See 7:15 entry to understand why I find this particularly amusing.
8:09 – Haloti Ngata just gave Mark Sanchez a proper welcome to Baltimore. HALOTI with the 25- yard pick 6. Looks like Sanchez had a facemask full of #52. Never saw anything like that in the Pac-10, huh kid?
8:11 – Graham Gano with a great kick and, unfortunately, tackle. Where is the coverage team, John?
8:20 – Hate the call on 3rd and short. Luckily, Ray Rice be jukin. Bart Scott with the hit on Flacco. Not quite Roethlisberger-esque, but a hit for sure.
8:22 – Bart Scott isnt a Raven any more, boys. We need to block him.
8:24 – Flacco misses a wide open Ray Rice. McGahee might have had it, but Mighty Mouse can't jump that damn high.
8:26 – Sam Koch's job is safe.
8:33 – AFC Divisional playoff game, much? Flacco-to-Mason very reminiscent of Tennessee. Of course, theres a flag. Looks like it wasnt an issue. Awesome play.
8:36 – Statue of Liberty! This continues to not feel like a preseason game. Ravens lead 14-0. After being annoyed that Cam Cameron called two straight passes from the 3-yard line, he redeems himself. Three consecutive runs by Pain Train McClain would have been ok to see too, though. So far this preseason, the Ravens have now outscored their opponents 37-0.
8:50 – HEEEEEEEEAP. Todd with the first down reception reminding us of the old Heap. Hopefully it will become a familiar sight once again. The Ravens are putting together a very nice drive here. Starting from their own 10, they are now in field goal range.
8:58 – HATE throwing on 3rd-and-short again. And, you'd think Harbaugh would use the opportunity to let Graham Gano try a 47 yard field goal in game conditions. Peculiar going for it on 4th. But, SUCCESS!
9:00 – A hold on Matt Birk brings back a great scramble for a first down by Joe Vick Flacco. A nice call on the WR screen to Demetrius Williams gets the Ravens back into FG range, but Gano misses from 42. That probably negates his good kickoffs, and the grumbles for Matt Stover from Ravens fans get a tad louder.
9:04 – One concern with the Ravens' defense so far tonight is against the run. The Jets have been getting some big runs on first and second down from Thomas Jones and Leon Washington. Looks like the over-30 club members are out (Lewis, Reed, Pryce, etc.) The Ravens finally get a sack, as Tavares Gooden comes through untouched to bring up a 3rd and long.
9:08 – Washington picks up 18 on 3rd and 12. Very disappointing.
9:10 – Another huge choke job by the Ravens D on 3rd and long. Mr. Mattison needs to address this in the coming weeks.
9:12 – Right on cue, the Ravens give up a TD on 3rd and 9. The Ravens linebackers looked confused without Ray Lewis on the field. Lots of yelling back and forth and directionless jumping around before the snap. Oh well. Nearly 85 minutes into the preseason, the Ravens finally give up their first points.
9:17 – Troy Smith taking over for the Ravens. The final line for Flacco – 8/18 120 yards, 0 TD 0 INT. I'd give him a solid B for the evening.
9:30 – Jaws fills us in that Troy Smith missed the hot read on 3rd-and-short, while Demetrius Williams broke his route off correctly. The pump fake cost Smith a likely first down, and resulted in a sack.
9:33 – Jameel McClain makes up for giving up the TD to Washington earlier with a pick 6 of his own. Haloti Ngata had a hand in this one as well, applying the pressure that caused Kellan Clemons to throw up the duck. The Ravens' defense with their 2nd touchdown on the night, and the good guys now lead 21-7.
9:35 – The Ravens take a 21-7 lead into the locker room. Not a bad performance overall. I'll be back in the 2nd half, just not quite as often.
10:22 – The Ravens D makes a nice stop on 4th and 3 from their own 30. Pretty much the lone bright spot of the 2nd half so far. Troy Smith and the entire offense have been ATROCIOUS, and special teams hasn't been much better. Ledarius Webb threw the ball right to a Jets player on the opening kickoff return, quite an ugly blunder. The backup offensive linemen are playing terribly, as Troy Smith has zero time to throw, in his defense, and Willis McGahee runs into a wall as soon as he takes every handoff.
10:25 – Speaking of Willis, he just had a great 16-yard run, weaving in and out and switching hands with the ball mid-run like vintage McGahee. On the next play though, of course, the other 9 Ravens heard Troy Smith say "on 3," while he and his center heard "on 2." Ugliness ensued.
10:27 – Another terrible pass from Smith, a floater from his back foot. After playing so well against Washington last week, Smith looks like a wholly different player tonight. Maybe its the poor play of the guys blocking in front of him, maybe he's just off his game, or maybe the Jets' backup defenders are just that good. Whatever the case, it would probably be best to get him out of there. Let's hope we see Cleo Lemon or John Beck here in the 4th.
10:37 – Bart Scott, always a good interview. He stopped a few steps shy of telling Michelle he wanted to kiss her, at least, although it wouldn't have surprised me. Good to see him smiling and jawing with the fans in the stands down there as well. I think the Ravens have the players to adequately replace #57 on the field, but B'More will still miss Bart.
10:39 – Smith in to start the fourth, and immediately he gets sacked again. Get him out!
10:40 – Making me eat my words, Smith completes a deep ball to Justin Harper from his own end zone to put the Ravens in New York territory. Two plays later, Smith runs the option perfectly to pick up the first down.
10:43 – Steve Hauschka true from 42 yards. He may wake up tomorrow morning and find himself with the inside track to win the Ravens' kicking job.
10:50 – Ray Lewis tells Michelle Tafoya that Ngata called him out on the sideline from dropping his chance at a Sanchez interception, and made sure Lewis did his punishment push ups. The guy gets his first touchdown and hes already gettin' mouthy…D-linemen, psh. Jon Gruden drops the interesting stat that no linebacker has ever had 30 sacks and 30 interceptions. Lewis needs 2 more picks to become the only member of that particular 30-30 club.
11:03 – Thanks to the Ravens' backups inability to get off the field, it looks like we have a pretty good chance of seeing the Jets score a TD and go for 2 and the win. Guh.
11:07 – Ainge in on the sneak. Will Ryan call a Statue of Liberty play of his own?
11:08 – During a Ravens timeout, I think I'm going to have to rethink this whole live-blogging thing. The last time I tried it, this happened. And now a damn preseason game is almost giving me a heart attack.
11:09 – Ladarius Webb and Prescott Burgess combine to foil the Jets' 2-point attempt. The Ravens will escape with the win, 24-23, and will have bragging rights over their former mates in green and white for the time being at least. Thanks for tuning in with us tonight.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala.—Losing both by the score of 2-1, the Birmingham-Southern softball team dropped a pair of games to No. 18 Emory, Thursday evening at BSC Softball Park.
The Panthers fall to 13-13, while the Eagles move to 31-6.
BSC held Emory scoreless until the top of the fifth inning in game one before a Megan Light RBI single up the middle plated Ally Kersthold. The Panthers tied it up in the home half of the fifth on a sac-fly by junior Hannah Harris to bring freshman Ashley Leonard across the plate. Leonard was pinch running for freshman Taylor Brewer, who led off the inning with a single to left field before advancing to second on a single by freshman Alex Skene and making it to third on a sac bunt by junior Joanna Jernigan.
Emory did not let the 1-1 tie stand for long, scoring in the top of the sixth when Claire Bailey singled to right field. BSC had a chance to tie it up in the bottom of the seventh, putting runners on first and second before the Eagles turned a double play to end the game.
BSC recorded five hits, all from different Panther batters. Freshman Taylor Harkins (6-4) took the loss in the circle after giving up 10 hits and three walks with one strikeout.
The nightcap was a pitcher's duel through the first three innings before a two-run homer by Light in the top of the fourth put the Eagles up 2-0. The Panthers got on the board in the bottom of the fifth on an RBI single up the middle by freshman Maddie Ridgway, plating Leonard who was pinch running for Skene, who led off the inning with a single to right field. BSC held Emory scoreless after the two-run bomb in the fourth, although the Eagles left five runners on base through the remainder of the game, but the Panthers were also unable to score again and Emory came away with another 2-1 victory.
Four different Panthers recorded single hits. Junior Bethany Fronk (7-9) gave up five hits and two walks with three strikeouts in the circle.
BSC resumes Southern Athletic Association play this weekend, traveling to face Sewanee with noon doubleheaders on Saturday and Sunday. The Panthers return home next weekend to host Hendrix with noon doubleheaders on April 12 and 13.

Arnold Strong
Despite his remote beginnings, actor and politician Arnold Schwarzenegger set his sights on becoming a famous bodybuilder and movie star from a very young age. Through sheer will, both dreams came true, starting with winning seven Mr. Olympia titles before moving to the United States to pursue an acting career. Schwarzenegger gained his first significant notice for his participation in "Pumping Iron" (1977), a documentary about the run-up to his sixth straight victory as Mr. Olympia. That led to a smooth transition into features with the title roles in "Conan the Barbarian" (1982) and "The Terminator" (1984), both highly successful movies that laid the foundation for him becoming the biggest action star in the world. He went on to redefine the genre with hits like "Predator" (1987) and "Total Recall" (1990), while appealing to wider audiences with sly comedic performances in "Twins" (1988) and "Kindergarten Cop" (1990). As he entered the 1990s, Schwarzenegger seemed assured of his stature, especially after "Terminator 2: Judgment Day" (1991), one of the most successful action movies of all time, and a fun turn in "True Lies" (1994). But his days as the top-grossing star in Hollywood began to fade, due to box office duds like "Batman & Robin" (1997), "End of Days" (1999) and "The 6th Day" (2000). But with fortuitous timing, Schwarzenegger avoided becoming a box office has-been by winning election as governor of California in 2003. With his film career largely on hold, Schwarzenegger served two terms as the "Governator" with some ups and many downs, including several key defeats in special elections. Despite public marital problems and a slow start to his revived film career following his departure from office, Schwarzenegger proved by example that all anyone needed to succeed in anything - sports, Hollywood, business, politics - was the unrelenting drive to realize one's dreams.

Representing Yourself in Federal Court (Pro Se)
How to Start a New Lawsuit without an Attorney
How Do I Start a New Lawsuit Without an Attorney?
A lawsuit is commenced by the filing of a complaint. The Southern District of New York requires a party to submit an original and two exact copies of the complaint.
Pro se litigants must submit an original and two copies of their complaint to the Pro Se Intake Unit, along with the filing fee or an application to proceed in forma pauperis. Prisoners must also include a Prisoner Authorization form.
The Pro Se Intake Unit has complaint forms that litigants may use to file an employment discrimination action, a social security disability appeal, a prisoner civil rights action, or an action for habeas corpus relief by a prisoner. For other types of actions, litigants must write their own complaint in English on 8-1/2" x 11" paper.
See also Fed. R. Civ. P. 11 (Signing Pleadings, Motions, and Other Papers; Representations to the Court; Sanctions). As a pro se litigant, you may pay the filing fee and deliver the complaint to the Pro Se Office in person. In this situation, you must also submit a complete civil cover sheet and summons. For cases submitted to the Pro Se Intake Unit by mail (whether the fee is paid or a fee waiver is requested) or cases delivered to the Pro Se Intake Unit in person in which a fee waiver is requested, the Pro Se Intake Unit will complete both documents.
Once the case receives a docket number and is assigned to a judge of this Court, the Pro Se Intake Unit will instruct the litigant on how to proceed.
It is extremely important for all pro se litigants to inform the Pro Se Office (as well as the other parties in the lawsuit) of any change of address immediately so that legal mail regarding the case can be sent to the correct address. All change of address notifications must be submitted in writing.

Increase visibility, stability and vaporization capacity with the single 43.5 lb. tank mounted behind the seat. Eliminate evaporative emissions and fuel contamination, theft and spillage with the fully sealed system.The Z Master 5000 Series zero turn mower has a Kohler® Command Pro EFI Propane Engine with 72" (183 cm) TURBO FORCE® deck. Model shown 74978.
- Kohler Command PRO EFI Propane (725cc)
- 72" (183 cm) TURBO FORCE deck
- Deluxe suspension seat features thick cushions, large bolsters and 3-D isolator mounts that absorb bumps and vibrations to reduce operator fatigue
- 12cc unitized pump and wheel motor uses proven commercial hydraulic components while eliminating hoses and other potential leak points
- Exclusive TURBO FORCE Deck: High-capacity TURBO FORCE decks deliver unsurpassed strength, a superior cut, and increased productivity in extreme mowing conditions. Equipped with a patented adjustable baffle, TURBO FORCE decks can be fine-tuned in order to conquer changing turf conditions.
- 7-Gauge, High-Strength Steel: The TURBO FORCE deck is constructed of 7-gauge, high-strength steel which is 33% thicker and 32% higher in yield strength than ordinary 10-gauge commercial steel used in 7/10 decks. The combined effect is 75% stronger, so it easily handles the most demanding conditions and resists damage from impacts and abrasion.
- Industry's Toughest Spindle Assemblies: Toro's rugged spindle assemblies survive impacts that would destroy lesser spindles. A stout cast iron housing with a massive base and six mounting bolts absorbs impact loads and distributes them across a broader area of the deck shell. Plus, the solid, one-inch diameter shaft is alloy steel, not the common lower-grade steel used in many competitive models. 72" Deck will have tapered bearing only.
- A Flat Crisp Cut with Precision Blades: (.250) thick precision blades resist flexing to provide a flat, crisp cut. High-strength, heat-treated alloy steel survives impacts and provides resistance to the rapid wear commonly associated with abrasive conditions.

- Deluxe Suspension Seat: Deluxe suspension seat features thick cushions, large bolsters and 3-D isolator mounts that absorb bumps and vibrations to reduce operator fatigue.
- Rubber Discharge Chute: High performance rubber discharge chute allows for close trimming without damaging chute or landscape structures. Patented design provides exceptional clipping dispersion.
- Smarter design in a bull-nose bumper.: 7-gauge bull-nose bumper not only protects against frontal impacts, but also contains an integral underskirt to minimize blowout of debris and dust. The bottom, leading edge of the deck is raised 1/4" (6 mm), allowing grass to stand more upright when entering the cutting chamber, ensuring a level cut. Leaf "plowing" during spring and fall clean-up also is significantly reduced.
- Patented Adjustable Baffle: Allows operator to achieve maximum cutting performance by fine-tuning deck to conquer changing conditions, unique job sites or different times of the season. In extreme conditions, the baffle can be opened in order to conserve power and achieve faster mowing speeds. In less demanding conditions, the baffle can be closed to yield micro-sized particles and maximize discharge velocity.
- Smooth, Powerful Response:
- Operator Information Center:
- Folding Rollover Protection System ROPS: A Rollover Protection System (ROPS), complete with seat belt, comes standard for operator protection in the case of accidental rollovers and tipovers. In situations where sufficient vertical clearance is not available, such as loading on an enclosed trailer, the ROPS can be temporarily unlocked and folded down.

Replacing Mikhail Grabovski with Dave Bolland? Good luck
Considering that he called Randy Carlyle a "stupid coach†on his way out of town, there is no doubt that Mikhail Grabovski's relationship with the Toronto Maple Leafs' bench boss had gone rotten.
Was buying Grabovski out the best course of action? That's debatable, considering how difficult it would be to trade a player with four years left at a $5.5 million cap hit. Regardless, removing Grabovski's deal from the ledger freed general manager Dave Nonis, for better or for worse, to afford Tyler Bozak and David Clarkson in free agency.
NHL free agency: Winners ... | ... and losers
The problem for Toronto is that, happy or not, Grabovski was remarkably effective. Over the past three seasons, according to data from hockeyanalysis.com, he played at least 60 minutes of 5-on-5 hockey against David Krejci, Milan Lucic, Jason Pominville, James Neal, Thomas Vanek, Tomas Plekanec, Milan Michalek, John Tavares, Matt Moulson, Kyle Okposo, Alex Ovechkin, Daniel Alfredsson, Evgeni Malkin, Chris Kunitz, Blake Wheeler, Lars Eller, and Jason Spezza. In that time, facing some of the top offensive talent in the Eastern Conference, Grabovski had a 53.5 percent Corsi rate, the percentage of shot attempts for and against the Leafs when he was on the ice. Over that three-year stretch, the Maple Leafs had a cumulative team Corsi rate of 47.4 percent. With Grabovski on the ice, playing a mostly defensive role, the Leafs' possession rate was 5.9 points better, and on the right side of 50 percent.
Over the 48-game season that concluded in April, the swing was just 0.2 points: The Leafs had a 44.1 percent Corsi rate and Grabovski's was 44.3 percent. But it's also worth considering who Grabovski was playing with—his primary linemates for the season were Nikolai Kulemin and Jay McClement. With Grabovski, Kulemin had a 42.7 percent Corsi rate, compared to 38.3 percent without him. More might be expected from McClement, but his sixth-place finish in the Selke Trophy vote was mostly for his work as a penalty killer. At 5-on-5, McClement had a 42.2 percent Corsi rate playing with Grabovski, compared to an astonishingly low 29.1 percent without him.
LEAFS NATION: On Moneyball | David Clarkson is good
Presumably, the plan in Toronto is to replace Grabovski with Dave Bolland, who was acquired from the Chicago Blackhawks for a second-round draft pick and two fourths. If this were three years ago, that would make plenty of sense. From 2007-08 through 2009-10, Grabovski played 161 games for the Canadiens and Maple Leafs, while Bolland played 159 for the Blackhawks. Grabovski had an 0.20-0.18 advantage in goals per game, an 0.37-0.32 advantage in assists per game, and a 53.0-52.8 advantage in Corsi rate. Those marginal advantages, were they present from 2011-13, would be enough to justify the more than $2 million in cap savings for this year before Bolland hits free agency next summer.
The Leafs, however, are not only looking back beyond three years as they make plans for Grabovski. They are looking back much further.
"If you go back and look at (Bolland's) junior numbers, they're exceptional," Nonis told reporters at the NHL draft, referencing the 299 points Bolland scored during 254 games with the London Knights of the Ontario Hockey League. "He played behind some pretty good people (in Chicago) and I think Randy won't pigeon-hole him as a third-line center. I think he'll probably be put in more of a prominent role with us than he was in Chicago."
This line of thinking has two problems. One is that Grabovski's and Bolland's careers have dovetailed over the last three seasons.
Grabovski has been remarkably durable, missing only nine regular-season games; Bolland has missed 40, including time out with a concussion. Both players have seen their goal rates go up, but Grabovski's has risen more, to 0.30 per game compared to 0.24 for Bolland, while both players' assist rates have gone down, as Grabovski has a 0.32-0.27 edge over Bolland over the past three seasons. The players' Corsi rates in that time have diverged, with Grabovski improving to 53.5 percent for a Toronto team whose possession rates have generally been awful, and Bolland slipping to 47.9 percent for a Chicago team whose overall rate during that time was 53.1 percent. Bolland, like Grabovski, faced top competition. With Chicago the past three years, he played at least 60 minutes at 5-on-5 against David Legwand, Rick Nash, Henrik Sedin, Corey Perry, Justin Williams, David Backes, Ryan Getzlaf, Antoine Vermette, Patric Hornqvist, and Daniel Sedin.
The other problem with Nonis' theory that Carlyle won't "pigeon-hole" Bolland is that Joel Quenneville did not pigeon-hole him this year. Bolland played all but 33 minutes of his 5-on-5 time with Patrick Kane, who had a 45.0 percent Corsi rate with him, and 56.3 percent without, while Bolland's second-most frequent linemate, Patrick Sharp, had a 41.9 percent Corsi rate while skating with Bolland, compared to 59.8 percent without.Bolland's overall Corsi rate was 44.7 percent.
The Maple Leafs' gamble is that Bolland, who at 27 is two years younger than Grabovski, will perform better with less talented linemates, which is counterintuitive, but at least the case could be made that playing with Kane and Sharp forced Bolland to play outside his comfort zone as he tried to keep up with two elite offensive wingers.
If Bolland is with, say, Clarkson and James van Riemsdyk, he will be flanked by wingers with skill, but not at the same level as Kane and Sharp. Meanwhile, putting Bolland in the top six would leave Nazem Kadri in the bottom six, a questionable decision in itself given Kadri's 44 points in 48 games last season, with a 47.1 percent Corsi rate that was three points better than the Leafs' as a team.

The TFSA, or Tax Free Savings Account Canada, is here!
The Tories have promised something for investors since they were elected. The biggest election promise that I was hoping for this year was the capital gains exemption that they spoke of a couple years back. The plan was that investors could carry forward their capital gains taxation provided that the money was reinvested within 6 months. We can all see the benefits of this type of taxation, but we can also see the immense amount of additional paperwork and cost required from the government.
You probably know by now that the new budget does not include the capital gains exemption. However, there is a big bright spot in the budget for investors, that is the introduction of the Tax Free Savings Account (TFSA). I'm actually pretty excited about this account as it has MANY possibilities.
The Details:
- Starting 2009, anyone aged 18 or older can contribute $5000/yr to the TFSA.
- The TFSA can grow and be withdrawn completely tax free.
- You never lose contribution room even when withdrawn.
- Withdrawals can be made at ANY TIME with no withholding tax.
- Contribution room can be carried forward indefinitely.
- You can contribute to a spousal TFSA, and they can withdraw from it tax free (income splitting).
- Withdrawal income does not affect government benefits like OAS, GIS, or CCTB.
The Fine Print:
- Contributions are not tax deductible.
- Capital losses cannot be claimed.
The Possiblities:
- The account can be used as a simple savings account where interest can grow tax free.
- This could be an opportunity for stock trading pros to utilize their options/shorting strategies without their gains being taxed as income. Thus far (as of Jan 2, 2009), Questrade is the first discount brokerage to offer a tax free trading account.
- An opportunity for income splitting where couples now have double the TFSA room to play with.
- Invest in strong foreign dividend companies and withdraw the dividends TAX FREE. Right now, if you receive foreign dividends, they are taxed at your marginal rate. If you put these foreign dividends in an RRSP, they grow tax free, but you are taxed when you withdraw. The TFSA provides a great way to get exposure to those juicy American dividends, tax free at that.
- Invest in higher yield bond funds/income trusts and withdraw distributions as a tax free income supplement.
- Opportunity for non-registered portfolio rich seniors to move their dividend paying stocks into a TFSA to prevent OAS reduction.
How does this affect The Smith Manoeuvre strategy?
According to Jonathan Chevreau, the interest used to borrow for TFSA contributions are not tax deductible. Along with that, the contribution limits are restrictive for a full fledged leveraged account. These factors make the TFSA not ideal to use with The Smith Manoeuvre.

Groton facing steep decline in revenues
Groton - A modest 0.6 percent increase in spending in the town manager's proposed $121.7 million budget for fiscal year 2014 would amount to a 5.4 percent tax hike.
Town Manager Mark Oefinger said a steep drop-off in revenues is partially to blame, though a 1.3 percent dip in the town's grand list has not helped.
Under the spending proposal, yet to be taken up by the Town Council, the tax rate would increase from 20.22 mills to 21.31 mills - a $109 tax increase for every $100,000 of assessed property value. Three-quarters of the increase is due to declining revenues, Oefinger said.
"The issue with the budget is not the expense side, it's the revenue side," he said.
The proposed budget, completed and printed this week, proposes $731,395 more in spending than last year's budget, despite the $1.2 million more requested this year from the Board of Education.
Oefinger said proposed increases in education, town operations and other areas have been offset in part by a $1.2 million drop in debt services and capital spending.
Anticipation of a tax hike has Representative Town Meeting members restless.
In a vote taken Wednesday, the RTM asked Oefinger to present a budget that represented no tax increase.
"I think it would be nice if we had a benchmark from the town manager to look at as we go through the budget and we can see how much should be expended versus how much is requested to be expended," RTM member Jack Sebastian said. "Just going along like we usually go along … the taxes are just going up for everybody."
Oefinger told the RTM he would give a dollar amount but leave it up to them to make the appropriate cuts, warning it would mean a cut in services.
"Cutting the budget is the easiest thing in the world. What's difficult is living with the consequences," Oefinger told the RTM.
He said it would take an estimated $4 million from the budget proposal to make up for revenue losses and avoid a tax hike. He said he essentially has control of about 27 percent of the total budget. By charter, Oefinger forwards the Board of Education and political subdivision budgets to the Town Council as they were presented to him.
RTM member Archie Swindell said the town and its subdivisions must discuss consolidation of services.
"We have three police departments. We have two separate public works departments with a vast amount of expensive machinery," he said. "We really have got to have some constructive, innovative thinking."
Oefinger has proposed $2.4 million in capital projects that include $250,000 to continue development of plans to address school facilities, $445,000 for asbestos removal at Charles Barnum Elementary School and $640,000 for a radio control console system for the emergency dispatch center.
Capital spending is more than $1 million less than last year due to a bond referendum passed last year that will borrow money for road maintenance that normally would fall under the capital fund.
The overall budget proposal shows the town departments would get a 0.9 percent increase, $23.8 million, covering the town's 268 employees. Town operations would increase by 1.9 percent to $33 million. The City of Groton is seeking less, $4.4 million for police and highways, a drop of 2.4 percent. Groton Long Point has asked for $604,600 for police and road maintenance, a 74.5 percent increase over what they were funded last year.
The school board presented a $73.6 million spending plan, a 1.4 percent increase over the current budget. School spending accounts for 60.6 percent of the overall budget.
Oefinger also has proposed using $1.04 million from the fund balance, a drop of $545,310 used in the current budget. Oefinger said the reduced use of the fund balance combined with a 4 percent - $1.6 million - decrease in revenues, combine for a $2.2 million drop in funding. There is about a $1 million loss in tax revenues associated with the grand list.
Residents will have a chance to comment on the budget at a meeting scheduled for 7 p.m. March 28 at the Senior Center. The Town Council has scheduled a series of workshops in the weeks following the public hearing.

The Z-machine at Sandia National Labs, pictured at right, was built in part to study the incredibly high pressures and temperatures involved in nuclear fusion. It achieves this through vaporizing a sample with a sudden jolt of energy, with the resulting plasma subject to intense magnetic pressure that compresses its ions down as close together as physics will allow. Normally, the sample used is a fine spool of tungsten wire, and the energy used is in the area of 20 million amps. But the scientists were not prepared for what happened when they changed over to a larger target composed of steel: temperatures rocketed above 2 billion degrees Kelvin, and the resulting release of X-rays pumped out more energy than the 20 million amps they put in. They had to repeat the experiments several times to make sure the results were real.
Why is this so surprising? Getting more energy out than what was put in would suggest a nuclear reaction of some sort was taking place. But fusion shouldn't be taking place under these conditions and besides, steel is mostly iron, and iron fusion actually draws in energy rather than releasing it. Left with no other explanation, the researchers propose that the sample is extracting energy from the magnetic field that contains it. They suggest that, instead of compressing evenly, the sample is subject to vortexes and internal friction that the magnetic field is forced to overcome. The energy input required to overcome that friction is what pushes temperatures so high. If samples of more fusable elements, such as deuterium, are subject to the same friction, then the energy input required to kick off fusion in such a system may be lower than expected.

Sox Mojo to be Tested on 10-Game Trip
Ozzie's recent mantra has been to take one day at a time. For a team trying to come back from the dead, I agree that it's the way to go. I just wish I could walk the walk.
As the White Sox were in the process this weekend of completing a 5-2 homestand on the heels of of an encouraging 6-3 road trip, all I could think of was the upcoming 10-game road swing to Texas, Toronto and Boston.
As the Sox move toward the .500 mark with a 22-26 record, they are about to face a huge challenge while trying to continue their winning ways.
* The defending A.L. champion Rangers are formidable enough, but to make matters more difficult, Texas gets both last year's MVP Josh Hamilton and Nelson Cruz back from injury just in time for the Pale Hose.
* Toronto has always been a tough place for us to play and among the issues to deal with up North will be neutralizing the outstanding Blue Jay pitching and home run machine Jose Bautista. Bautista, by the way, is also hitting .353 in addition to his major league-leading 18 homers.
* We all know that the Red Sox are the Red Sox–always tough–and Boston has the major league RBI leader in newly-acquired Adrian Gonzalez (41) plus top-flight pitching.
Sox Notes of Note: The Sox were able to win the rubber game of the Dodger series today on the strength of Alexei Ramirez's four hits, which included a two-run homer, and five RBI…Adam Dunn walked three times and had an RBI single while adding an eighth inning insurance run. WGN cameras caught him mouthing the words, "What was that?" after he got what amounted to his first hit of the series. At least he has a sense of humor…As a result of the Indians' weekend sweep of the Reds, the South Siders remain nine games behind the Tribe.

Shipyard Brewing Co. — Portland, ME
- Style: Pumpkin Ale
- Bitterness: Not specified
- Malts: 2-Row British Pale Ale, Malted Wheat, Ligh Munich
- Hops: Hallertau, Willamette
- Sampled: 12 oz. bottle
Description: "Shipyard Pumpkinhead Ale is a crisp and refreshing wheat ale with delightful aromatics and a subtle spiced flavor." — Shipyard Brewing Co.
Random thoughts: Today, I'm tasting a pumpkin brew from the other Portland. Recently, I've been noticing more of Shipyard's beers in Oregon. I'm not sure how long they've been distributing here, but I'm always glad to get my hands on an East Coast brew! I'm tasting Pumpkinhead as part of my series on fall seasonal beers.
The tasting: Golden straw in color, clear, with white head that dissipates very quickly. Aroma is extremely spicy—nutmeg, clove, and cinnamon. Flavor is dominated by the same spices. The malt flavors don't emerge beyond the onslaught of spice. Alcohol is not noticeable in aroma or flavor and overall hop bitterness is minimal. Pumpkinhead is light bodied, has a crisp, effervescent mouth feel and finishes with lingering spice.
Rating: 3 star. Good. I would drink this again if someone gives it to me. I've profiled at least a dozen pumpkin beers during the last two years. Pumpkin itself doesn't have much of a flavor and I'm usually left contemplating if I can actually taste it. In this beer, there was no question. I clearly could not taste the pumpkin. All I could taste was spice. For me, when it comes to spice, less is more in a light bodied beer.
Have you tasted Pumpkinhead? What's your favorite pumpkin beer?

Rams 16, 49ers 13 (OT): Greg Zuerlein kicked a 54-yard field goal at 14:34 of overtime as host St. Louis avoided another tie and secured back-to-back wins for the second time this season.
David Akers missed a 51-yard field-goal attempt wide right, giving the Rams the ball at their own 41-yard line. Steven Jackson converted one first down to get them into field-goal range before Zuerlein booted the game-winner.
Sam Bradford ended up with 221 passing yards and Jackson totaled 117 yards from scrimmage for St. Louis (5-6-1), which played San Francisco to a 24-24 tie on the road in Week 10.
The Rams trailed 7-0 at the break but got back into it on defense in the second half, starting with a third-quarter safety when 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick was flagged for intentional grounding in the end zone. San Francisco tacked on a field goal, but Kaepernick was victimized again with 3:11 left, when he fumbled deep in his own territory and Janoris Jenkins ran it two yards back for a touchdown. The two-point conversion knotted it at 10-10.
The 49ers (8-3-1) drove for a go-ahead 33-yard field goal with 1:38 left, but Bradford led St. Louis back into San Francisco territory and Zuerlein booted a 53-yarder to force the extra period.
GAME NOTEBOOK: Kaepernick went 21-of-32 for 208 yards passing and added 84 yards rushing on nine carries in his third straight start. ⦠St. Louis WR Danny Amendola (foot) sat out the contest. Chris Givens led the Rams receiving corps with 11 catches for 92 yards. ⦠San Francisco LB Aldon Smith (32) recorded one sack to pass Hall of Famer Reggie White for the most ever in a playerâs first two seasons.

My father likes to look at women. Short women. Tall women. Fat women. Asian women. Women who are bound and gagged and chained to a radiator. Naked women beaten and burned and humiliated. Screaming, begging, pleading women, wearing lipstick and high heels. His dresser drawer is full of pictures and magazines. I read about how to tie someone to the ceiling and bind someone to a frame. I learned that liquid latex is available in a wide range of colors and it doesn't clog your pores.
As long as I can remember I've been searching my parents house, combing through old shoe boxes and storage areas looking for clues to something, but I didn't know what. And now, after decades, I found it. Next I went to his computer. That little flashlight was spinning and spinning, searching the temporary internet files, which everyone should know how to delete. Then it stopped, and 20,000 sites popped up. I saw tortureme.com, which was next to torah.com because my father is an orthodox jew. There was eatkosher.com and Eatitbitch.com. There was bound and gagged.com, brandher.com, miss pain, king of fetish, rope expert, babydoll bondage…and Bible.com.
I clicked on some of the sites and headlines screamed at me: Look at tortured slaves suffering pain and torment. Watch as these tender young girls are bitten and burned.
I remember how my father used to press his hand on my lower right side--he's a doctor. He did that whether it was a sore throat or an ear ache; he'd press and ask if it hurt. Now I wonder if he wanted it to.
When we had snowball fights he would try to bean me between the eyes. And when we played ping pong and I hit the ball a bit too high, he would smash it back at me so it stung my skin and left a little red welt.
As I clicked on candleintheass.com, my mother called me from the other room, telling me that it was nearly sundown and I should turn off the computer. I went into the dining room and watched her make the blessing over the Friday night candles, which were shoved appropriately into the candelabra.
I saw my mother wave her hands three times around the candles greeting the Sabbath and tried to image telling her what I had just seen. The only conversation we ever had that was even remotely about sex was actually the last time I was home. She was scouring the toilet and I poked my head in to the bathroom and casually asked her if she indeed taught us that premarital sex is wrong. She looked at me quizzically, gave a half nod and I said, "Thanks. Just checking." She's great when you're having a home economics crisis involving a missing button or an undercooked chicken, but she's never taught me much of anything useful in terms of real life lessons besides "always carry kleenex for those unexpected spills," and I'm sure she wasn't referring to sex.
When you tell her something distressing, she has this way of angling her head, arching her neck to look away when she doesn't want to hear something, not unlike my dog when I'm trying to get the gooey stuff out of the corners of her eyes.
I realized I couldn't talk to my mother, so I planned to write my father a letter telling him what I had seen, but before doing the adult thing, I decided to entrap him online. So I chose a screen name: Bubby Does Bondage. (Bubby is Yiddish for grandmother). And in an apocalyptic moment, I send an Instant Message to my father when his screen name popped up online. "Is your wife home," I typed, trying to instigate a conversation if my mother wasn't around. Fingers trembling, I waited for a response, and I got one. It said: "No, she's not here. But this is her brother, not her husband." I had inadvertently sent the instant message to my uncle, who, I found out later, was snowed in at my parent's house for the weekend and went online using my father's screen name. So now my poor uncle Aaron thinks that my mom has an online relationship with an S&M Jewish grandmother.
So I wrote a letter to my father, told him I was horrified by what I saw and that he should seek some kind of therapy, figure out what was driving this urge. He wrote back, saying: "I am guilty…of bad time management. But work has been busy and that's good because I can spend my time helping others. Please write soon about your pursuits and travels."
While he's still imprisoned by his obsession, I'm set free. After all, he can no longer berate me for leaving the faith and disrespecting him as he stands on shaky ground. However, I was recently biking through Central Park at dusk and turned onto a dark, deserted path where I thought I saw the shadowy figure of man lurking behind a bush. My heart thudded and I was paralyzed…not with the threat of an attacker, but with the realization that my father's greatest fantasy is my greatest fear.

California Headphone prepares for boom
Electronics Danville headphone company provides rock, country fans with tailored options
The boom in the headphone business may have been fueled by a hip-hop beat, but a new player in the market is hoping to make a little noise with country and rock music.
This month Kickstarter-funded California Headphone Co. is shipping its first few thousand headphones. Designed for fans of country, alternative and rock music, the Danville company's products must compete with a line of headphones from country music star Tim McGraw, but not much else.
The headphones were inspired by those from Santa Monica's Beats by Dr. Dre, a which emphasize the bass sounds found in rap and hip-hop music. Headphones with Beats' lowercase "b" logo have been spotted on hundreds of Olympic athletes in London. The headphones have quickly become fashionable, helping double U.S. headphone sales from August 2010 to August 2011.
Since the beginning of 2011, headphones priced at $100 and above have gone from 28 percent of headphone sales to 42 percent, according to the NPD Group's Retail Tracking Service.
Toning down the bass
The only other major premium brand specifically tuned for the country and rock genres is from JBL, which partnered with McGraw to introduce the headphones. Country music albums outsold rap albums in the United States by 150 percent in 2011, according to Nielsen SoundScan, so there's a possibility that country/rock headphones could do even better than rap/hip-hop styles have.
"As big as country is, nobody has tapped that," said California Headphone's designer and co-founder David Adam.
He said California Headphone's two models - the $200 Silverado and the $100 Laredo - provide a clear, balanced sound where bass is present but not overemphasized.
Ben Arnold, NPD's director of industry analysis, recently wrote that strategic partnerships and endorsements are becoming vital for headphone companies because of the crowded market and the lack of opportunities for consumers to test them.
California Headphone is trying to stand out with a grassroots, California-cool image. One stumbling block could be that the headphones, like most other consumer electronics products, have been manufactured overseas, where costs are lower. Adam said he spent weeks running around China searching for the perfect factory before settling on one in Shenzhen.
"Our brand might benefit from having it made in the U.S.," he said. "But to launch, we're tight on cash, so we're limited."
Leather and chrome
Though the company set out to raise only $100,000, about 1,200 people have donated a total of $178,000 to California Headphone's Kickstarter campaign to secure the first pairs of headphones.
They are made with leather and gunmetal chrome. All have an in-line jack that allows another listener to plug in their own headphones. After listening to feedback from customers, California Headphone's next set of units also will include an in-line microphone.
The products are part of a growing line of tech accessories from business executive Tim Hickman. He's behind brands such as Speck Products, Hard Candy Cases and Gumdrop Cases for smartphones and tablet computers.
Hickman said California Headphones will be sold at retailers in the United States, United Kingdom, France and South Korea beginning next month. Online, they are exclusively available via the California Headphone website. A limited number of discounted preorders are available through crowd-funding service Kickstarter until the end of the week.
"It's crazy to think four years ago, premium audio was the white Apple earbuds," Hickman said. "It was a mark that you had arrived back then."
