The college cross country season gets underway
Saturday (Sept. 5) when Hope College hosts its invitational for
men's and women's teams.
For the first time, the invitational will be run at the City
of Holland's Van Raalte farm on east 16th Street beginning at 11
The invitational is one of the oldest collegiate cross
country competitions in Michigan although it was not held in 1997
because of scheduling problems. The men's Hope Invitational
started in 1966 while the women's invitational began in 1980.
Women's Cross Country Pre-Season Outlook
With the return of the nucleus of a team that competed in the
NCAA championships, the Flying Dutch should again be one of the
leading Division III women's cross country teams in the Great
Lakes region.
In 1997 the Flying Dutch, coached by Mark Northuis, finished
second in the Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association
(MIAA), qualified for the NCAA championships by finishing second
in the regional meet, and ended 17th at nationals in their first
appearance since 1994.
Leading the returning veterans are All-America runners Ellen
Schultz, a fifth-year senior from Glen Lake, Mich. (Maple City
HS), and Rebecca Timmer, a senior from Pella, Iowa (Pella HS).
Last fall Schultz and Timmer finished 25th and 29th respectively
at nationals. Schultz is a three-time All-MIAA cross country
honoree. She is also an outstanding distance runner in track
having qualified for last spring's national championships.
Other returning runners who were part of the national qualifying
team a year ago are Jaime Passchier, a sophomore from Rockford,
Mich. (Rockford HS); Andrea Egeler, a sophomore from Fruitport,
Mich. (Fruitport HS); Anne Zeneberg, a junior from Roscommon,
Mich. (Roscommon HS); and Molly Griebe, a senior from Chelsea,
Mich. (Chelsea HS).
Other returning letterwinners include Elizabeth Alvesteffer, a
junior from Whitehall, Mich. (Whitehall HS); Cynthia Bannink, a
senior from Holland, Mich. (Holland Christian HS); Sarah Golden,
a sophomore from Valparaiso, Ind. (Valparaiso HS); Jami Grant, a
sophomore from Holt, Mich. (Holt HS); Amanda Heydon, a junior
from Rockford, Mich. (Rockford HS); Susan Kingma, a junior from
Grandville, Mich. (Grandville HS); Carrie Langstraat, a senior
from Eagan, Minn. (Eagan HS); Hazel Lawson, a junior from
Princeton, Ill. (Princeton HS); Jennifer Mark, a junior from
Manistee, Mich. (Manistee HS); Jessica Mulder, a junior from
Queensbury, N.Y. (Queensbury HS); Shannon Oakley, a sophomore
from Lincoln Park, Mich. (Lincoln Park HS); Jennifer Passchier, a
senior from Rockford, Mich. (Rockford HS); Megan Powers, a senior
from Jackson, Mich. (Lumen Christi HS); Nicole Reynolds, a
sophomore from Mattawan, Mich. (Mattawan HS); Jannah Thompson, a
senior from Port Sanilac, Mich. (Bullock Creek HS) and Lisa
Vredevoogd, a sophomore from Grandville, Mich. (Calvin Christian
Men's Cross Country Pre-Season Outlook
The Flying Dutchmen returns twelve runners for the 1998 cross
country season.
A year ago coach Mark Northuis' Flying Dutchmen finished third in
the Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association (MIAA)
The pre-season roster of 34 prospects includes 12 freshmen, 10
sophomores, eight juniors and four seniors.
Leading the returnees are sophomore Joe Veldman of Sawyer, Mich.
(Three Oaks-River Valley HS) and junior Paul Berke of Park Ridge,
Ill. (Maine Township HS). They were both All-MIAA second team
honorees last fall. Veldman finished ninth in the MIAA
championship meet and was 16th at the NCAA Division III Great
Lakes Regional.
Other returning letterwinners include sophomore Tim Cupery of
Holland, Mich. (West Ottawa HS), junior Jeffrey Kaufman of
Minnetonka, Minn. (Minnetonka HS), sophomore Doug Mulder of
Holland, Mich. (Holland Christian HS), junior Aaron Otis of East
Jordan, Mich. (East Jordan HS), senior Mike Pittiglio of Boyne
City, Mich. (Boyne City HS), senior Wes Prescott of Ludington,
Mich. (Ludington HS), junior Robert Rutherford of Downers Grove,
Ill. (Downers Grove North HS), junior Robert Struck of Orland
Park, Ill. (Carl Sandburg HS), senior Bryan VanHaitsma of
Scottville, Mich. (Mason County Central HS), and sophomore Louis
Williams of Paw Paw, Mich. (Paw Paw HS).

This was our 3rd hold session tonight.
Riot will be 6 months old on the 19th, all his adult teeth are in, we are still throwing marks for him.
Only pressure is a little lip pressure when opening his mouth to put the bumper in.
The first session he fought like an SOB but relented after about the third or forth attempt to hold.
I like to get three in a row of "success" and call it a good session.
The whining in the background is Tango who wants to "hold" too!

ORIGINAL: Limb Hanger
Hey Stoner - I finally was able to get a hour or so to work in the wood shop and did some turning. I've looked on line for specifics on the sounding board for a slate call. It is to my understanding that the material may be formica, slate, wood, or glass. Is there a specifc diameter or thickness?
The thickness is going to be different depending on the material you are using for the soundboard. The diameter should be about 1/8" shy of touching the walls of your call. The most important facto is the distance from your top surface (slate, glass, etc.) to the soundboard. Call makers may have different opinions, my calls have about 1/8 space. I have done so many calls, I do not measure, I can look at it after I lay the soundboard on the pedestial while it is still on the lathe and tell if I have it right. I will post another hint or suggestion that will help you when gluing your soundboards to your pedestial, it will make it alot easier. I will have to find the photos.

Sara (Waddell) Woodward, was my paternal grandmother. Before her death in July 1955, she related some stories of her youth in a letter to her grandchildren. Within the letter she states, "I do not remember much about my grandfather who was William MacDougall from Scotland. He passed away when I was quite young. I do remember that he built sailing vessels."
I'm posting the MacDougall tartan as a tribute to my 2nd grandfather, William MacDougall

#24 - Gone but not forgotten
Scored all 4 new Mighty Muggs (Obi-Wan, Threepio, Mace Windu and Luke) along with all 4 Wave 3 GI Joe Comic Packs today at Walmart. I think The Capt Ace/Wild Weasel pack is my favorite - very cool.
[FONT=Arial Narrow]
Well lucky me. Found all my JOEs this morning at Torrance Walmart, and I stashed a set of these:
1. Tomax and Xamot
2. Crimson Guard with removable helmet and Scarred Cobra Officer
3. Ace and Wild Weasel
PM for details...
Found all of the new Evolutions set this morning at Walmart. There was just one set (Force Unleashed, Fett, Sith and Jedi). They also had the new Mighty Muggs.
Also found at least 6 sets of the new GI Joe Comic packs. I just picked up a set for Commtech, another guy there also picked up a set, and then some other guy came in and quickly took all the remaining sets.
Edit: This was out in F&S territory.
Wanted: -
SW Customs Album
A very BIG THANKS to Darkagent for the wave 3 comic pack set that he hooked me up with.
I still need one more Tomax & Xamot comic pack so I can have one open and one sealed.
Big thanks to Snags for hooking me up with , Commander Keller Comic Pack, McRebel and Gree.
Torrance Walmart had 2 of the Lt. Jundland & Deena Shan (Empire) packs and 1 Mouse & Basso in Disguise (Empire) pack.
Target manhattan Beach had all 4 of the new Evolutions packs. Another collector bought them all. (Fett, Qui Gon pack, New Darth Maul pack, and another Jedi looking one I couldn't see clearly.) I hope they release that new Qui Gon figure individually.
Also I found another Marvel Girl variant (not backwards). PM me if you want it.

I feel a great disturbance in the Force.
They've been bringing these to Toy Fair for a while now, but I never end up seeing them on hobby or toy store shelves unfortunately. The price seems very high for a simple 20' figure-8 track with a few cut-outs, but I'd still like to see them in person to decide for myself. Honestly, these and the speeder bike ones from last year seem like they'd be super fun.
Ah, so its an expensive, Star Wars-themed race car set?

I am become Joey, destroyer of drives
drive #1
To add to the fun of being in Nicaragua, my laptop's solid state drive died the second day here. Seems this is the failure mode for a SSD, get a little slow, and then a switch flips and it stops accepting any writes, at all, becoming a read-only media. Never was there an indication of a problem in SMART etc.
Did you know that Nicaragua has neither names for most roads, nor addresses? Rather than trying to shoehorn the directions to my hotel into the address fields of Amazon.com, I shipped the replacement SSD to home, and thought I'd limp along.
drive #2
I destroyed my second drive one hour after getting it working. A borrowed USB flash drive, which seems to have melted under the unusual load while I was away at lunch. Perhaps putting an ext3 filesystem on it was a very bad idea, although I have successfully run other USB flash drives that way for years. Perhaps it was a cheap drive that only pretended to hold 32 gb.
drive #3
For several days I happily used the third drive, a USB hard drive, as my temporary root filesystem. Until I destroyed it by knocking it off my bed.
drive #4, #5
Now my netbook is running from a Debian Live USB key, with a second USB key for my customisations. So far I have not managed to destroy these, but there's still a day left in my trip..

About Stem Cell Research
Stem cells are undifferentiated cells that can develop into specialized tissue types. Researchers are investigating how to isolate and culture them, and control their differentiation, in the hope that they can be used to treat and understand a variety of diseases.
Stem cells can be derived from a number of cellular sources: adult, fetal, and placental tissues; umbilical cord blood; and embryos. Stem cells from these different sources have different properties.
Adult stem cells can be obtained from the bodies of adults and children, and until recently considered multipotent, which means that particular adult stem cells can develop into specific tissue types. Adult stem cells have been used in therapies such as bone marrow transplants for years.
Embryonic stem cells are found in early embryos. They are pluripotent, which means they can develop into all tissue types and be cultured as stem cell "lines." No therapies have been developed from human embryonic stem cells, which were first isolated in 1998.
In recent years, new methods of cellular reprogramming have enabled the derivation of so-called induced pluripitent stem (iPS) cells, which seem to have the full powers of embryonic stem cells but are from adult body cells.
Human embryonic stem cell research is controversial because it destroys embryos. Most investigations use embryos created but not used for in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment. Some scientists have worked to derive human embryonic stem cells using a cloning technique called research cloning, which raises a separate set of troubling questions.

FULTON – A hot-shooting Shannon team surprised Corinth at first, but it didn't take long for the Warriors to wake up.
Corinth (23-6) rallied in the second half to beat division rival Shannon 68-57 in the Division 1-4A boys' basketball championship game.
"We picked our intensity on defense in the third quarter. They came out of the gates hot," Corinth coach Keith Greene said. "We knew we had to find a way to slow them down just enough."
Shannon (20-8) opened up a 20-13 lead near the end of the first quarter. Raheem Sorrell dropped in a basket midway through the second to give the Warriors a brief lead, before Rocquis Coleman's three-point play put Shannon back on top.
Corinth opened up the third quarter with a 7-0 run to lead by 6. Chris Bradley added a basket for Shannon's first points of the half, but Corinth responded with another five straight, including a 3-pointer from Jose Contreras.
A 4-0 start to the fourth left the Red Raiders down by three, but that would be as close as they came as Corinth hit six straight free throws to close the game.
Sorrell led Corinth with 20 points, while Lakee Westbrook scored a game-high 21 for Shannon.
"We know each other well, and we knew it was going to be tough," Shannon coach Cedric Brim said. "We're shooting for meeting them again next week in North half."
(G) Pontotoc 57, Itawamba AHS 49: Itawamba led by as many as eight in the first half, before Marlee Hatcher and Olivia Owen each scored to give Pontotoc a 24-23 halftime lead. Hatcher's basket broke up a 27-all tie near the beginning of the third quarter.
Lanikki McMillian led Pontotoc with 18 points, while Itawamba's Kim Mallory led all scorers with 19 points.
Mallory's layup brought the Lady Indians within five midway through the fourth before Pontotoc scored four straight to extend the lead.

Everyone's friend is No One's friend
Someday your life will flash before your eyes. It's your responsibility to make sure it's worth watching!
Some info for those still 'fighting the odds' in the markets. My friend Bill Bonner wrote this bit yesterday. It's hard to not agree with his observations eh?
Yes, dear reader, we are going where no man ever went before ...into the wild.
All around us is virgin territory. No one has ever been here before. But watch out, these virgins are vicious amazons. In this wild place, you can forget living it up. Dont even think about getting rich. Riches? If youve got em...hide em. Luxury? Who needs it anyway? The best youll be able to do is survive. And then, maybe, years from now, we can put our financial lives back together again...and get on with things...
Never before have we seen so much wealth disappear in such a short time. The latest report from MSCI shows the planets losses from the sell-off of equities has now reached more than $30 trillion or more than twice the GDP of the U.S.A.!
And this is just stocks. Reported write-downs, write-offs and credit losses have reached almost a trillion. And losses of housing prices in the United States alone the only country for which we have reliable figures has reached about $5 trillion.
Nor have we ever seen such a rapid reaction. In the space of a few months, people have gone from believing that nothing could go wrong to thinking that theres nothing that wont go wrong. Where once they thought that free-market capitalism would make them rich...they now believe that the government can save them from getting poor. And where only a year ago they thought the worlds globalized economy would always give them everything they needed just in time, they now believe they better keep a few sheckels on hand just in case.
And just look at the bonds! A few months ago, investors stretched for yields. Now, its safety they reach for. They dump corporate bonds for fear they may be toxic, and grab U.S. Treasury debt with both hands. Investors now seem to have an unqualified trust in the full faith and credit of the worlds largest debtor. Yields on 91-day T-bills have fallen to 0.11% scarcely a tenth of one percent!
Yes, dear reader, the Great Unwind...the Big Bust...the Great De-leveraging call it what you want; weve never seen anything like it.
Chinas stock market had managed an 18% rebound...following the announcement of its half-trillion dollar bailout plan. But yesterday, Chinese stocks were collapsing again.
The latest news from America tells us that housing prices are still going down in 4 out of 5 cities. Homebuilders wives are hiding the shotguns and pouring out the whiskey; their husbands confidence has never been lower, according to this mornings news report.
Big towns...little towns...in the sophisticated cities and out in bumpkin country, the story is the same. The Wall Street Journal tells us that the fall in crop prices is putting an end to the boom in the boonies.
U.S. producer prices fell 2.8% in October the most theyve ever fallen. And the Big Three automakers say that if they dont get some help soon, the results will be catastrophic.
Not only is the bust unlike anything weve ever seen before...so is the planet-wide effort to stop it. All over the globe, the feds are going into the wild with extraordinary measures. Theyre mobilizing troops to fight the crisis in the boardrooms. Theyll fight it in the stock markets. Theyll fight it at home with house-to-house combat to stop foreclosures and defaults. Theyll fight it abroad the U.S. government is even loaning money to foreign governments! Theyll fight it with loans and giveaways. Theyll fight it with fiscal policy. Theyll fight it with monetary policy. Theyll fight it with every weapon available to them including the printing press.
And they will lose.
*** To give you an idea of the wild measures undertaken by the feds, we look at what is happening at the worlds leading bank the U.S. Federal Reserve.
The short form of how the Fed operates is this: it holds a certain amount of securities in its vault; this is the cornerstone capital or monetary base of the whole banking structure. How does it get this capital? It buys it, creating the money to pay for it as necessary. Naturally, the Fed doesnt want to create too much money or the inflation rate would get out of control and economists would point their fingers accusingly. But now, people fear dandruff more than inflation. So, the Fed has gone wild.
From the day of its founding in 1913 to September 24, 2008 the Feds assets the aforementioned cornerstone capital for the US financial system grew to $1 trillion. By November 14, 2008 the amount had grown to over $2 trillion. And in a speech in Texas, the head of the Dallas branch of the Fed said he expected the total to reach $3 trillion by year-end.
For the moment, this explosion of monetary inflation is hardly noticed. Asset deflation has the headlines. People worry about having too few dollars, not about having too many.
Comes the news this morning that U.S. business chiefs are asking the up-coming Obama administration for another $500 billion stimulus program. Theyll get it. And much more. Trillions worth.
Trying to stimulate the economy with easier credit in the early 2000s, Alan Greenspan overdid it. He gave the world the credit it wanted, and created the biggest bubble in human history.
Now that bubble is collapsing and his successor Ben Bernanke is confronted with a new problem. Now it is cash that people want income to pay their debts! Bernanke will give them what they want. And, most likely, he will overdo it too.
When the one you love becomes a memory, that memory becomes a treasure.

After my recent post on primitive accumulation in Cambodia, now these stories from the Phnom Penh Post:
Shooter Now Unknown. It's unclear what to make of this. It was pretty obvious from initial reports that Bavet town governor Chhouk Bandith was himself the man who shot into a crowd of workers striking outside a shoe factory. It sounds like the provincial police chief, who claimed that the suspect was identified and under pursuit, may have been planning to arrest a patsy, as the police did in the Chea Vichea case, and that national officials may be preventing that from happening. We'll have to wait and see.
Monks Await Justice. Khmer Krom – it's what Cambodians call the Mekong Delta now controlled by Vietnam. While ethnic Khmer in southern Vietnam appear to have a generally better nutritional profile, and experience somewhat less poverty than do Khmer (as a whole) in Cambodia, it is also clear that the Vietnamese State attempts to control ethnic Khmer display so closely that their policies amount to a form of cultural genocide. (yes, that). Khmer Krom activists are often under attack, as was made obvious in the case of the Khmer Krom activist monk, Tim Sakhorn. Moreover, it is clear that elements within the Cambodian government often cooperate with the Vietnamese government to arrest and intimidate Khmer Krom activists.
So, when another Khmer Krom monk activist was murdered, with his throat slit in a Cambodian temple in Kandal province, in 2007, few expected a serious search for the murderer. Their suspicions have been proven correct, and five years later, monks and lay-people held a ceremony to remember his death.
Meanwhile, the Khmer Rouge Tribunal is experiencing another set of serious criticisms, and coordination between the Khmer and International judges appears to be non-existent. The new International judge, Judge Laurent Kasper-Ansermet, has re-opened Case 003, to the objections of PM Hun Sen and his co-investigating Khmer judge. Meanwhile, Cambodian staffers at the court have not been paid for a very long time. While this is supposed to be the responsibility of the Cambodian government, they have disclaimed this. The European Union has just coughed up 1.7 million to help pay this staff. Meanwhile, the Open Society Justice Initiative is releasing perhaps its strongest criticisms yet of the tribunal's process, talking about a 'crisis of credibility,' and the International Bar Association has released a statement claiming the tribunal faces a serious 'failure of credibility.'

Something else to consider is that while women have been in combat, they have not been in the INFANTRY Line of Combat.
There's a BIG difference between being in a Combat Zone *rollseyes* and BEING IN COMBAT!
If these Army Soldiers in the video below were in REAL COMBAT, They'd all be DEAD!

As a matter of fact, I ordered Firefly: The Complete Series and Serenity on Black Friday, based on endless recommendations (and Whedon's work on Toy Story and Avengers). I had an inkling I'd probably think it was at least okay, and didn't know I'd be getting a blu-ray for Christmas that I could use to stream them for free from Amazon Prime on a decent-sized screen, but, eh, oh well.
Finally started watching yesterday. I've torn through the first two discs so far, and am having to constantly tell myself not to start the third until I get some work done. This is a pretty amazing show. I'm already a bit saddened that it'll be ending altogether soon (well, for me, since I still haven't seen half the series and the movie).
I'm glad to see that there are graphic novels; even if they're not full-on additional seasons like with Buffy, there's a little beyond the series when I'm done. (Unlike Pushing Daisies, which was supposedly being continued by DC Comics--we've even seen artwork!--but has been in a sort of black hole since the initial announcement.)

I am back from the Wauna La'Montay Lodge Rendezvous of the Order, an annual event our lodge hosts to celebrate its accomplishments, recognize the fantastic arrowmen of the lodge, and of course..have a lot of fun.
Friday was an interesting day as most of you that are no longer living in caves knows.. Japan was hit by a massive Tsunami and the ripple effects were felt all the way here in Oregon. Camp Meriwether, where Rendezvous is held each year in on the Oregon Coast.. I mean.. right on the Beach.. so of course there was some concern about the Tsunami hitting it, but as luck would have it, and further proof that God loves Scouts, the wave went South, much to the dismay of the folks down in Brookings. Our prayers go out to them, fortunately it was just stuff that was damaged and no one lost their life.
We arrived at Camp Meriwether Friday night to a light drizzle and the party had already started. It is always a fun gathering and the patch traders and Native American enthusiasts where all there. I picked up a few missing patches for sets I have and called it a night after a cracker barrel of Chicken, cole slaw, and a cup of coffee.
Saturday was a fun day, the morning started off with fun games and fellowship. I had an opportunity to chat with our SE for about 20 minutes and then again during and after a Fire Side chat he hosted for the adult leaders that attended.
Being the Scout Executive of Council is a job I would not trade for mine. In the short time Matt has been here he has grown all too familiar with the court system in the Portland Metro area. Law suites have blasted us here in the Northwest.. and yes.. I do have an opinion about them.
While I never think it is right for anyone to abuse a child, I also do not think it the councils responsibility to police the actions of those that do. Here is how I see it. I am a registered member of the BSA through a Chartered Organization. The CO approves my application and I serve at their pleasure. If I mess up the accountability is on me and to some degree the CO.. but not the Council or the BSA. INDIVIDUALS need to be held accountable for their actions.. not the Organization.. unless the organization gave authorization, or directed the individual to commit the crime or abuse.
Now I know that is not how the money grabbing lawyers see it.. but that is how I see it.
In my opinion the last case was handled all wrong and the judge should not have awarded a penny to the so called "victim" from the council. They should have gone after the $$$ of the CO and that is that. The CO did nothing to keep this from happening again. The crime was reported to the CO, the CO "kicked the guy out of the church" but allowed him to remain a Scout leader… even after the sick bastard admitted to sexually abusing multiple kids. It was not reported to the council and now the council is on the hook.
They said it is all about the boys right? The "Victim" said his suite was all about the boys… well how much money did you take away from "the boys" Mr. Victim? And since I'm on this.. what is the statute of limitations.. how long can a guy take to starting feeling bad about the abuse, do not get me wrong.. it is terrible when a child gets abused.. I do not condone it at all and think that those that do abuse children should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. They are sick people that need to be dealt with.. but how long can he wait?
Anyway.. I digress..
The Fire Side chat was great, we talked about improving the image of the Council and building up the PR so we have better coverage and truly tell Scouting Story. We talked about camps and of course the Scouter Mountain never ending story. All in all it was nice to sit down with Matt and hear his side of the Council discussion. Again. you could not pay me enough to wear his hat.
Saturday night was the annual Lodge Awards Banquet and Vigil call out followed by a Brotherhood ceremony. A Scout from my Jamboree troop sealed his membership in the Order by completing his Brotherhood ceremony, so I took the time to watch and congratulate him.
It was yet another great Scouting weekend. Last night during the Banquet the Professional advisor to the Lodge spoke. He talked about a life lived to serve. He quoted Zig Zigler by saying "You will get all you want in life if you help enough other people get what they want." And that kind of sums up the dreams of a member of the Order of the Arrow.
In talking with a number of Scouts this weekend, it was made clear that by and large adult do not trust them and their abilities. Over and over again I was told that they wish adult leaders would let them lead.
You know Scouts put this whole weekend together, and where adults got their hands in it.. there were problems. My message.. let the Scouts lead! This is what Scouting is about and for. Trust them and give them a chance. They did a great job this weekend… and everytime we let them seek success.. they find it.
Have a Great Scouting Day!

TUPELO – Tupelo nightclubs will have to jettison brown-bagging and follow security rules.
The Tupelo City Council unanimously approved nightclub and alcohol ordinances at its Tuesday meeting. The new provisions go into effect in 30 days.
Under the new ordinance, all nightclubs – broadly defined as any establishment that serves alcohol and/or beer and provides entertainment, such as music, games, performances and dancing – will have to go through a permitting process and obtain a state or city license to sell alcohol. The ordinance has specific security requirements for large crowds and for establishments with a pattern of disturbances.
Establishments that maintain control will have latitude to tailor their own security plans, said Tupelo Police Chief Tony Carleton. Educational meetings for businesses impacted by the ordinance will be offered.
The nightclub ordinance and amendments to the alcohol ordinance were designed in response to repeated disturbances and assaults at nightclubs, including a fatal January 2011 shooting. Businesses across the city had disturbances spill over onto their properties, too.
"I feel like we have accomplished something," said Ward 6 Councilman Mike Bryan, who has advocated for changes over the past year.
Council members Nettie Davis and Willie Jennings said they supported the ordinance, but want to make sure it is enforced evenly. Jennings asked that the ordinance be reviewed in a year.
The amendments to the alcohol ordinance eliminated the option for nightclubs as "BYOB" establishments – where customers could bring in their own alcohol beverages. However, it allows restaurant owners who do not hold a state liquor or city beer licenses to permit customers to bring their own to consume with a sit down meal.
Other amendments to the alcohol ordinance allow for revocation of city beer and light wine license for violations of city ordinance and clarify serving alcohol at events where private property is leased.
Councilman Jim Newell voted for the ordinance, but said he had reservations about the impact on private parties and wedding receptions. Events in a leased space with more than 40 people will now require a $75 event permit.
"I'm a little concerned about the fees and bureaucratic process," Newell said. "But it's better than what we had."

It's hot. Damned hot. Africa hot. Tarzan couldn't take this kind of hot. Welcome to August in Maryland. It hasn't rained yet today, but it will. It rained yesterday. Amazingly, it didn't rain on Saturday, and I was able to get out into the big room for a while. Highly recommended. (I didn't make it to the shore, though. See, I live just off route 50, which is the only road to the Chesapeake Bay Bridge which leads to the shore. The first day with no rain in weeks and everyone else wants to go, naturally. When traffic is backed up 10 miles to the toll plaza, it's generally a good idea not to get in line.)
Spent the rainy Sunday continuing with DocBook and figuring out some DSSSL in general and Jade in particular. I'm getting to like this, actually, to the point where I've archived and thrown out most of my LaTeX and moved it over to DocBook. After that, dinner with some friends at Hard Times. More DVDs this weekend: Don't Look Back, the classic Dylan documentary, with some good D. A. Pennebaker commentary and a few bonus uncut audio performances; and Galaxy Quest, which was a decent movie but includes some quite silly DVD features, such as an alien language track and an Omega 13 menu item which, well, does what the Omega 13 does (you'll have to see the movie to understand.) I kept waiting for the Tim Allen character to start dropping Priceline plugs ("...then you know what to do, dogg... Bust A Move!") but it didn't happen.
Also read up some more on the various GTK+/GNOME widgets and whipped up some more Python code to try them out. Hmm, I could get used to this. The closest thing I've ever done to GUI programming is some old Hypercard stuff on Macs (hehe, those were the days.) But it makes some small amount of sense to me, so perhaps my coding skills aren't completely lost. We'll see.

Deeplinks Blog posts about Copyright Trolls
Today, in a strong opinion from the Federal Circuit, an attempt for rightsholders to use an obscure trade court to block the "importation" of digital data was rejected. The Federal Circuit held that a court that has the ability to block "articles that infringe" does not have the ability to block digital data.
The working group at Internet Corporation for Assignment of Names and Number (ICANN) that has been tasked with designing a new domain registration database can't seem to wrap its head around why privacy matters when it comes to domain registration services. ICANN's Expert Working Group on gTLD Registration Directory Services (EWG) issued a Preliminary Issue Report on Next-Generation gTLD Registration Directory Services to Replace WHOIS in July, and EFF has submitted comments. Our bottom line is this:
Australian Court Bans "Surreal" Copyright Demands from Dallas Buyers Club, Case Shows Need For Reform of US Copyright Law
Last week, an Australian court issued an encouraging ruling pushing back against extreme copyright demands. A company called Dallas Buyers Club LLC (DBC) has been chasing thousands of alleged file sharers around the world. In the United States, these cases often lead to Internet users being shaken down for thousands of dollars each. In contrast, the Australian court is insisting that DBC's money demands bear some sensible relationship to the harm it has suffered. If this becomes standard practice, it may protect Australian Internet users from the kind of abusive copyright trolling that has become too common in the United States.
EFF has joined 46 organizations and 105 individuals to oppose a new domain registration proposal in front of the Internet Corporation for Assignment of Names and Numbers (ICANN). From Academy Award-winning documentary film director Laura Poitras to the National Council of Women's Organizations to Chayn, an organization that works to combat domestic violence in Pakistan, the vast array of organizations and individuals signed on to this letter reflects just how misguided this proposal is. We hope ICANN will reject the flawed proposal, which comes from a smaller ICANN Working Group, especially in light of this unified opposition.
Our right to express opinions online—for instance, to criticize copyright trolls and their demands for money in hopes of scaring them away—are protected by the First Amendment. The Georgia Supreme Court correctly underscored these protections in a ruling late last week about the state's anti-stalking law. The panel overturned a trial judge's astonishing order directing a website owner to remove all statements about a poet and motivational speaker who had a sideline business of demanding thousands of dollars from anyone who posted her prose online—a practice that had sparked plenty of criticism on the web.

The latest Joel touches on notifications and software getting in your way. I love this paragraph. It had me screaming "yes! yes! exactly!" Ok, maybe not screaming. But I was bouncing up and down in my chair.
Every few days some crappy software I can't even remember installing pops up noisy bulletins asking me if I want to upgrade something or other. I could not care LESS. I'm doing something. Leave me alone! I'm sure that the team at Sun Microsystems who just released this fabulous new version of the Java virtual machine have been thinking about the incremental release night and day for months and months, but the other 5,000,000,000 of us here on the planet really don't give a flying monkey. You just cannot imagine how little I want to spend even three seconds of my life thinking about whether or not to install that new JVM. Somebody out there is already firing up Gmail to tell me that the JVM mustn't just upgrade itself because that "might break something." Yeah, if the entire collective wisdom of the Java development team doesn't know if it's going to break something, how am I supposed to know? Sheeesh.
I've said it before, and I'll say it again. Unless you have something earth-shatteringly important to tell me, do not pop random stupid crap up in my face!
On Banks
apenwarr claims that banks (in Canada, anyway) do not and cannot use any information about your spending patterns that they might have to do anything but "run their business."
First of all, even though banks do not have information about exactly what you bought, knowing how much you paid and where you bought it is still a significant amount of information; certainly enough to target ads. That I spend most of my money on my credit card on flights and restaurants no doubt makes me a good target for advertising, oh I don't know, maybe flights and restaurants?
The reason I suspect that some sort of advertising deal is going on is that with my credit card bills I always receive remarkably relevant advertisements for (you guessed it) flights and restaurants. Maybe this is purely coincidential; maybe they advertise flights and restaurants to all their credit card customers.
Is there any way that without actually giving away the data, they could do something with it? i.e. they tell some advertising companies "give us ads for travel, restaurants, luxury cars, and some other categories; we will make sure they go to the right people." The advertising companies never know who is seeing which ads, just that they're going to the right places. Remarkably like Google's ad system, when you think about it.
In any case, I have no evidence that this is, in fact, happening. It just seems likely. It's what I would do if I were a bank :P But I suppose my original assertion that banks are selling my personal data "to all kinds of sketchy advertising companies" is probably false; at most they're keeping it to themselves and enjoying the lucrative position of being an advertising middleman.

Paul Myoda's "Glittering Machines" resemble probe droids arriving from the future. They hang on the walls of Yellow Peril Gallery (60 Valley St, Providence, through November 17) like couture contemporary plastic and LED sconces. But they're not just light fixtures. They exude alluringly intricate patterns across the walls (think crystals and snowflakes). But they're prickly and threatening too. Proximity sensors trigger flashing and jittering bursts, as if to scare you away.
"The idea was giving some kind of behavioral attitude or personality to these things, like a person with a borderline personality disorder," Myoda tells me. "There's a kind of desperation often and then confusion, whether they want to attract people or repel people."
He lives in the woods of Chepachet and teaches art at Brown University. His best-known project is Tribute In Light, a memorial to the 9/11 attacks made from searchlights shining two giant beams that fill the voids left by the destroyed World Trade Center towers in New York. He co-created it with Julian LaVerdiere in 2002 — originally they thought to call it Phantom Towers. It has become an annual installation each September 11.
Tribute In Light glows ghostly and soothing, holy maybe. His "Glittering Machines" are about beauty and anxiety.
Many will see them as robots. "But I didn't want to make a robot at all," Myoda says. "Like a plant. Like sleeping grass. It's a kind of grass that if you touch it, it very quickly folds in on itself to protect itself.
"I want to have them have these personalities that are fraught with contradictions," he says. "Some of them can be aggressive. But then if you sort of back off, they try to attract you again."
Myoda's machines seem predictable in their behavior. If you retreat, they calm down. But you can't really read their moods. If a dog growls and then calms, you know to remain wary, but the situation feels more under control. But who knows how a machine will react?
Another style of kinetic sculpture, Branching Light hangs from the ceiling. It's a network of acrylic rods laser-etched with a branching pattern and linked by hubs of LED lights and circuit boards. They twinkle, seemingly responding to your presence. Their pattern isn't easily apparent, but if you watch how the lights react to someone else, they seem like a little constellation of stars following them around.
Myoda often begins by making charcoal sketches. "I was spending a bunch of time in the [Brown] greenhouses looking at different plant forms," he says. He also searches the Internet for subjects to draw. "It forces me to pay attention to how that form is composed. Then as I draw them in lines, I can start to understand how to draw them in the computer. I was looking from the very natural, various bioluminescent organisms, siphonophores and jellyfish, those organisms that naturally emit light and they're often found in the deep sea," Myoda explains. "On the other spectrum are geometric or algorithmic procedures. . . You take a square and you perform some geometric operations to make a pattern."

Well, my guess is S1(w) > S2(w), since with the simple string "aaaa" there are two occurrences of the substring "aaa". The first is from position 0 to position 2. The second is from position 1 to position 3. There is overlap.
Note it is impossible to have two occurrences of substring "abc" using any 4 characters. Therefore, more substrings of "aaa" can also be found in the 10 character string.

...and even you, Franco. A Libertarian we can all agree with. UB
April 18, 2011
Own It
Although I am not a Democrat or a Republican, I used to understand why other people would choose to be one or the other. And I can still understand how some people can be Republicans, but it is beyond my comprehension how anyone could still be a Democrat in Wisconsin in the age of YouTube.
The Democrats response to losing an election here has been appalling; disgraceful conduct documented with phone cameras for the whole world to see. Democrat rallies and protests have been marked by profanity, intimidation, death threats, vandalism, trespassing on private residences, anti-American rhetoric, boycotts of neutral businesses, extortion, and fraud.
My dear Democrat friends, that is not what democracy looks like; it is what Democrats look like. Your Party has become vile, disgraceful, and disgusting, and you have lived long enough in denial of what and who you have become.
Own it.
Its not just the mob scenes that disgust. Perhaps the most dishonest political ad in history was run by Democrats in a supposedly non-partisan Supreme Court race, exploiting the victim of child abuse for political gain. Own it, Party of the children.
Your Democrat legislators wore union t-shirts on the floor of the assembly while in session; shouting and throwing things and threatening to kill a female Republican lawmaker. This is how you treat women who think for themselves. Own it, Party of women.
Your public sector unions firefighters and teachers - organized a campaign to drown out yesterdays taxpayer rally on the steps of the Capitol building. You exist now only to deprive others of their right to be heard; and your idea of civil is dropping F-bombs at a child who came to hear Sarah Palin speak. You have embraced disgrace so own it, Party of civil rights.
You booed the national anthem. Read that again, friends; take a moment to reflect fully upon the depths to which your Democrat party has sunk, and then OWN IT.
On that same day the office of a recall drive against one of the 14 AWOL Democrat Senators was burglarized with computers and petitions stolen just like Nixon in 1972. You also threatened to blow up a radio station over content you dont like. You were busy little fascist criminals on Saturday - own it, Nixonites.
If these are just isolated examples of people acting out, then show me where your Party leaders have denounced them. Who have you expelled from your Party for the shame they have brought to it? And who is your Ron Paul, your conscience who calls you out when you have strayed from your core values - Charlie Rangel?
Your Democrat State Senator Lena Taylor recently got herself on TV to rant against some $142 million of tax breaks Governor Walker has given to his cronies, but when asked, she could not name one. Your comprehensive plan to balance the budget and avoid default is to chant Fox Lies! This is the depth of your intellectual curiosity and the extent of your economic literacy. Own it.
Yours is the party that extended our military stay in Iraq, increased our commitment in Afghanistan, spread that war into Pakistan and Yemen, and started another in Libya. When it was Bush dropping the bombs, you came to us Libertarians and begged us to join you to stop him; havent seen you around now that is your guy killing little brown people. He lies to you and you love him for it. Own that.
What does it take for you decent Democrats - and I know there are many of you who will read this - to walk away from a Party that has already abandoned the principles that attracted you to it in the first place? How much of your pride are you still willing to forfeit to a Party that has none? What is your last straw does blowing an angry horn at a downs-syndrome person for waving a flag not do it for you?
Its your mirror you need to look in every day, not mine. It was a far less obnoxious abandonment of principle that led me to leave the GOP many years ago. It is true that I get along better with them than with Democrats as a rule; that rule is that they dont send me death threats when I write something they dont like.
Nearly a third of the American electorate is now non-affiliated with either of the two major Parties; each Democrat/socialist/union rally drives more of you into our camp. You Democrats do not persuade us with temper tantrums, threats, profane personal attacks, and all manner of judicial chicanery. I dont even know what you stand for anymore; I dont speak drum.
Yours was once the Party of Kennedy; it is now the Party that boos the national anthem. Own that and then walk away. You will feel better about yourself, and you might just save your Party from the hooligans who have run it into disrepute.

Evergreen Pet Shop owners, landlord respond
Spokane Valley pet store closed by Dept. of Revenue, animals abandoned
SPOKANE VALLEY, Wash. - Dozens of people have lined up outside the Evergreen Pet Shop in Spokane Valley Sunday morning to adopt what pets are left at the abandoned store and buy up merchandise at a discounted price.
The store, located at 14319 East Sprague Avenue, was shut down by the Department of Revenue in July.
According to the owners of the store, they were able to care for the animals until the landlord, Joe Mayo, changed the locks two days ago.UPDATE: Evergreen Pet Shop owners, landlord respond
Mayo says the owners of Evergreen Pet Shop were behind on rent, but that he was still trying to work with them. Mayo says he offered to take on selling off the store's assets and had the owners sign a document that they were leaving and that he could use the profits from the sale of the pets and merchandise to pay for back rent.
Mayo says his meeting with the owners happened Friday morning and on Friday afternoon when he entered the store he discovered a few dead rats and mice. At that point, he began selling the animals and merchandise that were left.
Sunday morning, the Evergreen Pet Shop owners issued this email statement:
"I am the owner of evergreen pet. This is in response to what has been said in concerns of the pet store and the actual events. We regret that persons feel that we have not taken care of the business we worked so hard at. Last year the store had a fire in the fish area, the contractor sublet work out that caused that area to be closed for about six months. Along with the road construction this last summer, ( 3 months) this put us in a situation that was not probable.
In early August the store was forced to close. However during the time it was closed we have had personnel in on a daily basis to maintain the daily duties of the store, with the intent of reopening. We then realized that reopening would not be possible. Over this time period we were working with the property owner to help find a way to sell the assets to offset mounting costs. The landlord had advised us that he was trying to work with other local pet stores to help find homes for all the animals. At the end of last week the landlord changed the locks and we were no longer able to reenter the premise to take care of the animals. Up until this time the animals were maintained on a daily basis. We regret the situation that has happened, and are happy that animal are being placed into homes."
Customers say they found several dead animals in the store.
KXLY got a number of calls Saturday night, from people who thought the animals were abandoned. By Sunday morning, almost all of them had been sold or placed in homes. The store operators and the landlord say the whole situation is a huge misunderstanding.
"I heard a lot of the animals died in here and I'm just coming to see what i can do to help," customer James Horn said.
Saturday night people swarmed into the Evergreen Pet Store, as they thought the animals were suffering. By the end of the night, almost every pet found an owner.
"They need homes, they need love, they're in horrible condition they need medications," Horn said.
Some said the store was dusty, dirty, smells, and the animals look thin.
"I was really upset because what I saw in there was just horrible," Kelly Blume said.
Blume bought four rats that, that she said had no food or water. Blume noted that she was impressed by how the community was coming together and supporting the animals. She said that after another woman saw her adopt four rats and gave her some money in the parking lot to help with the rats.
"They were really lethargic, all of them were, they were scared."
The animals are gone and the landlord, not the owner, is selling everything off. Neither of them would go on camera and the owner Kurt asked us not to use his last name because of online threats he's received.
Here's what we know: the store was shut down in August by the Department of Revenue claiming the owners had more than $10,000 dollars in unpaid taxes and penalties. Kurt also had financial problems and couldn't pay rent. Since then, he said his staff would come in every day to take care of the animals. They were hoping to re-open but couldn't, and so on Friday the landlord agreed with Kurt he would take over and sell everything.
The question that still remains is how many animals were found dead and what kind of animals. The landlord says there were only a few dead mice and rats found, which many say is still unacceptable.
"I can't believe anyone could do this to any of these animals," James Horn said.

Just watched "Playing for Peanuts". HO-LY-****.
Wally is the man
Just found this on Jeff Ireland's Wikipedia page. I found it funny.
At Baylor, Ireland was known for making difficult kicks but missing the easy ones. Against Rice University in 1991, for example, he made a 58-yard field goal, then missed field goals of 43, 45, and 27 yards. Baylor, a 20.5 point favorite, lost the game by three points. Baylor was ranked 8th in the Associated Press poll at that time, and has never been ranked that high since.
M: "Tyler, is the oven broken? Its taking forever to...whats its called? When it gets hot?"
T: "Preheat?"
M: "Yeah"
T: "Not that I know of. It took a regular amount of time when I cooked my lunch. How hot is it set?"
T: "Thats gonna take a couple minutes"
2 Minutes later...
M: "Dude this is ridiculous. Ive had it on for 4 or 5 minutes now."
T: "You serious? This isnt a top of the line oven. It doesnt preheat to 375 in 2 minutes. So when you first asked, it had only been like 2 minutes?"
M: "Yeah. That sucks. I didnt know it would take this long. This oven is ****."

I posted this recipe on the old forum and wanted to share it here.
In a blender, mix:
1 clove of garlic
1/2 cup of lite soy sauce
2/3 cup of vegetable oil
1/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/8 teaspoon of powdered ginger
2 Tablespoons of lemon juice or sherry
Blend together several minutes until well mixed.
Pour marinade in a gallon-sized bowl or in a zip-lock bag.
Cut turkey breast into 1-2 inch cubes and marinate overnight.

Important Information
Upon Acceptance Into the MAT Program
There is important information you need to keep in mind as you progress through your program. The plan of study you develop with your advisor should meet your needs, within the parameters of the program. If circumstances in your life change, please be sure to contact your advisor and make changes as necessary. Following are questions frequently asked by students as they progress through their programs:
- When do I need to do a change in plan of study?
If you change the course you are planning to take, you need to complete a change in plan of study with your advisor. For example, if you plan to take science with a practicum (ELED 537) and decide to take it without a practicum (ELED 518), you must complete a change in plan of study. If you decide to change when you take a course, with the exception of the first three courses (CEP 552, ELED 500, and FNED 546), you do not need to do anything. When making changes in your plan of study, remember you must complete a minimum of 60 hours of field work before the student teaching phase. This is a state requirement, and taking a minimum of 3 practicum level courses is usually needed to ensure this requirement is met. An audit will be completed to ensure this requirement is met before granting permission to student teach.
- How do I apply for the student teaching experience?
All courses listed on your plan of study need to be completed before student teaching. In anticipation, you need to attend an information meeting held by the Office of Parnerships and Placements during the semester one year prior to the one in which you plan to student teach. For example, if you plan to student teach in fall 2017, you must attend the information session in fall 2016. You will not be notified via letter; you must watch for postings on bulletin boards, look on the Office of Partnerships and Placements page at http://www.ric.edu/feinsteinSchoolEducationHumanDevelopment/st_teaching.php, or call your advisor to find out days and times. There are usually two choices, and the meetings are usually scheduled mid-semester. It is critical that you attend one of these meetings to allow the college sufficient time to secure a placement for you, and to learn about the application process and requirements for this part of your program. In addition, there is another meeting held by the Department of Elementary Education the semester prior to student teaching and is for the purpose of informing you about the Preparing to Teach Portfolio submission requirements.
- How do I apply for teaching certification?
The coursework and field experiences in this program meet state requirements for certification in elementary education. Upon completion, you will earn a master of arts in teaching degree. To obtain certification in this state, you need to complete the necessary forms and apply to the Rhode Island Department of Education. See http://www.ride.ri.gov/.
- When do I take my prerequisite courses?
Prerequisite courses are required of students whose undergraduate work does not demonstrate the broad base of knowledge necessary for teaching. You need to take your prerequisite courses before taking methods courses to which they are associated. For example, if you have science prerequisite courses, you must take those before your science methods course. If you have math prerequisite courses, you must take those before your math methods course. Any other prerequisite courses should be taken as soon as possible and all prerequisite courses should be completed before student teaching.
- What is the process known as the performance assessment and what are its components?
There is an assessment system in place to monitor candidates' progress throughout the program and to ensure readiness to move on to each level of the program, from admission to student teaching. This system is known as the performance assessment system and began with your admission, during which your credentials were assessed, including the content knowledge from all previous college work, test scores, essay, and recommendations. The second phase begins with your program courses. During each ELED program course you will complete an assignment that will be the artifact for your Preparing to Student Teach Portfolio. Your course instructor will evaluate your artifact, which must be rated target (exemplary) or acceptable for entrance in your portfolio. If revisions are necessary, they are completed under the guidance of the course instructor. These artifacts, along with documentation that you have completed all courses on your plan of study, provide evidence that you are ready to student teach. This portfolio will be due in the semester before you student teach. The final phase of the portfolio assessment system is completed during student teaching. For this phase, you will complete a Teacher Candidate Work Sample (TCWS) and your teaching will be observed and rated using an Observation and Progress Report (3). Your college supervisor, seminar instructor, and cooperating teacher will provide instruction in the completion of these assessments.

It's George Bush's fault.
The fact is, no matter how compelling the proof is that is offered, there will still be those that refuse to believe it.

teracroft Clan Piper of Perth CGC TDI (RIP)
Boyne's Fast Break of Perth RN CGC CGCU( munchin in training)
I found this copy of the interview with Gov. Abercrombie by the Honolulu Star Advertiser:
"Q: You stirred up quite a controversy with your comments regarding birthers and your plans to release more information regarding President Barack Obama's birth certificate. How is that coming?
A: I got a letter from someone the other day who was genuinely concerned about it; it is not all just political agenda. They were talking on Olelo last night about this; it has a political implication for 2012 that we simply cannot have.
(Abercrombie said there is a recording of the birth in the State Archives and he wants to use that.)
It was actually written I am told, this is what our investigation is showing, it actually exists in the archives, written down ...
...What I can do, and all I have ever said, is that I am going to see to it as governor that I can verify to anyone who is honest about it that this is the case.
If there is a political agenda then there is nothing I can do about that, nor can the president."
I don't see how WND drew all their conclusions based on this interview. They also failed to mention the Governor's previous comments:
"It's an insult to his mother and to his father, and I knew his mother and father; they were my friends, and I have an emotional interest in that," Abercrombie told the Times. "It's an emotional insult. It is disrespectful to the president; it is disrespectful to the office."
Abercombie was quoted by the Chicago Tribune as saying, "What bothers me is that some people who should know better are trying to use this for political reasons," he said. "Maybe I'm the only one in the country that could look you right in the eye right now and tell you, 'I was here when that baby was born.'"
I wonder why they left that out. It seems WND is the one with the political agenda.
It just occurred to me....
Juxtapose the level of proof that the birthers are demanding of Obama's residence of birth, to the level of proof they gladly accepted of Bush actually showing up for reserve military duty..... Kind of ironic, isn't it?
God Bless PFC Jamie Harkness. The US Army's newest PFC, but still our neighbor's little girl!
Whole thing is a joke. As for his birth cert before someone asks, we now have the original long form.

Recovery Pearl: Trauma Informed Care - by Jeffery Ramirez PhD, PMHNP; Brought to you by the APNA Recovery Council
Trauma Informed Care is a recovery concept that emerged from consumers when feeling re-traumatized by the use of interventions such as restraints. Trauma is defined as a personal experience of violence from abuse, neglect or witnessed acts of violence1. Nurses can lead the way in creating a trauma informed system by promoting a collaborative environment, accepting of the client's behaviors/responses, and understanding that every person in treatment settings has a trauma history.

Public defender employee charged with witness tampering
SPOKANE, Wash. - An employee in the Spokane County public defender's office has her own legal problems to deal with after being charged with a pair of felonies for witness tampering.
The paralegal allegedly used her professional privileges to visit and help the father of her children.
Josie Booth is one of two public defender employees currently under investigation by the Spokane Police Department. Booth was charged by prosecutors on Thursday and instead of getting hauled to jail like many of her office's clients, Booth will be allowed to make a scheduled appearance in court.Public Defender witness tampering
In her role as a paralegal, Booth helps public defenders prepare their clients' cases for trial. That means visiting inmates at the jail, interviewing them and getting their signatures on legal paperwork.
Early in December, the jail staff noticed an inmate was making a lot of free phone calls to Booth's desk in the public defender's office.
That inmate is Francisco Ayala, one of several people charged with an October kidnapping and assault. Booth, however, is not assigned to Ayala's case, so the jail started recording the phone calls and felt Booth may be having inappropriate conversations with the inmate.
It turns out Ayala is the father of two of Booth's children and now she's suspected of using her position with the public defender's office to visit Ayala in jail and influence the way he's being treated by the criminal justice system.
In court documents, detectives also accuse Booth of trying to get another jail inmate to withhold damaging information from investigators about Ayala's alleged involvement in the kidnapping.
On Friday Chief Public Defender John Rodgers said Booth has been an exemplary employee and wants to see more evidence against her before changing her employment status.

From a story perspective, though, I'd argue Jar Jar was originally intended for greatness. He plays too big a role in TPM to just fade out the way he does. Logically, he should've gone back to Otoh Gunga, but his winding up in the Senate but just playing the dupe once shows he was supposed to stick around, probably to mature and wind up a less loathsome hero or martyr.
I really think, though he'd deny it to his dying day, George caved in to fanboy griping and cut Jar Jar back significantly.
