Lil Wayne Scores Most Hot 100 Hits
GRAMMY winner Lil Wayne scored his 109th appearance on the Billboard Hot 100 this week as a featured artist on the Game's "Celebration," which debuted at No.82, surpassing Elvis Presley for the most Hot 100 chart appearances by a solo artist, according to Billboard.biz. Presley previously held the record with 108 chart appearances. Lil Wayne's record comes with some caveats. While Presley was the lead artist on all his Hot 100 hits, Lil Wayne was lead on only 42 of his, and a "featured" artist on the other 67. Additionally, Presley charted 31 hits on Billboard's pre-Hot 100 charts. (9/27)

Deeplinks Blog posts about CALEA
Last Saturday, the Canadian government announced it would put proposed online surveillance legislation temporarily "on pause" following sustained public outrage generated by the bill. Since its introduction two weeks ago, Canadians have spoken out en masse against Bill C-30, the Canadian government's latest attempt to update police online surveillance powers. As currently drafted, the bill represents a dramatic and dangerous attempt to leverage online service providers as agents of state surveillance.
How Technology Companies Can Avoid Being "Repression's Little Helper"
Earlier this month the FBI, DEA and the Department of Justice Criminal Division responded to our FOIA litigation for records related to the Department of Justice's controversial efforts to push Congress to expand the Communications Assistance to Law Enforcement Act (CALEA).
EFF recently received documents from the FBI that reveal details about the depth of the agency's electronic surveillance capabilities and call into question the FBI's controversial effort to push Congress to expand the Communications Assistance to Law Enforcement Act (CALEA) for greater access to communications data. The documents we received were sent to us in response to a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request we filed back in 2007 after Wired reported on evidence that the FBI was able to use "secret spyware" to track the source of e-mailed bomb threats against a Washington state high school.
EFF just received documents in response to a 2-year old FOIA request for information on the FBI's "Going Dark" program, an initiative to increase the FBI's authority in response to problems the FBI says it's having implementing wiretap and pen register/trap and trace orders on new communications technologies. The documents detail a fully-formed and well-coordinated plan to expand existing surveillance laws and develop new ones. And although they represent only a small fraction of the documents we expect to receive in response to this and a more recent FOIA request, they were released just in time to provide important background information for the House Judiciary Committee's hearing tomorrow on the Going Dark program.

AFL or USFL II: Electric Boogaloo
Posted on 22 Jan 2012 by Christopher Rowe.
Greatness has always been defined by the defeat of one's most worthy adversaries. Throughout history and literature, there are countless examples of great foes who grappled tirelessly as both combatants had everything to lose and even more to gain. Montague vs. Capulet, King Henry VIII vs. Catholic Church, Ali vs. Frazer, Galileo vs. Inquisition or any number of examples from the Napoleonic...

This is the design of the earpieces on the headphones. Some headphones go inside the ear, while others rest on the outside of the ear. This helps you know exactly what type of headphones you will be receiving.
In-Ear: The ear buds go into the ear. Most often, the right and left ear buds are two separate pieces.
Enclosed-Ear: Usually are found on the larger headphones. They rest on top of the ear and have padding for comfort, as well as enclosing the ear to the speaker. This type of headphone helps to filter out surrounding noise.
On-Ear: This type of headphone involves the speaker sitting gently on the ear without going in the ear or sealing it off.
Headphone type refers to the construction of the headphones.
Around the Ear means that the headphones wrap around the ear to provide a secure fit. This is most often seen in active and sports headphones.
Around the Neck means that the headphones wrap around the neck. This is also seen in active and sports headphones.
Earbuds means that the right and left sides of the headphones are separated and will fit securely into the ear. These are small, compact, and user friendly.
Over the Head headphones mean that the right and left speakers are connected with a support that goes over the head and rests on top. This is the typical headphone type.
This is the application that the headphones are designed for. Each application has unique features that make it perfect for particular uses.
DJ: These headphones are durable, loud, and will often allow for one ear listening.
Gaming Delivers explosive sound and allows you to communicate with others.
Home Hi-Fi: These audiophile headphones are engineered to produce high fidelity and accurate audio.
Home/Office: These headphones are designed to produce rich, brilliant sounds that the artists would appreciate.
Sports: Designed for active use. These headphones are made to stay in (or on) the ear during workouts.
Kids: Feature noise limiting technology so that your little ones don't damage their ears listening to music too loud.
On-the-Go: On-the-go headphones are lightweight and often fold up for easy storage and portability.
Student: Compact and rugged enough to survive life in a backpack; inexpensive enough to not hurt the wallet of a student.
Studio: Reproduce music perfectly without any coloration. Look here for reference quality studio monitoring headphones.
Traveler/Airplane: These headphones are compact, lightweight, and have a portable design.
Corded means that the headphones use a cord to transfer the audio signal.
Bluetooth means that the audio signal is transmitted from your device to the headphones via a Bluetooth connection.
Corded or Bluetooth means that the headphones can be used as corded headphones or as Bluetooth headphones. They have an input in one or both earcups for use as a corded headphone while they also have a built-in battery for use as Bluetooth wireless headphones.
Wireless means that the audio signal is transmitted wirelessly to the headphones.
The Jack Angle refers to the angle of the input jack on the headphone cable.
Straight Jack: Straight plug with no angle.
Angled Jack: Angled plug, usually a 90 degree angle.
Swivel Jack: A swivel jack is able to swivel between a straight plug and an angled plug.
The physical design of the driver in the headphones.
Balanced Armature:
A balanced armature driver uses a coil wrapped around an armature which is held in between two magnets until it is stimulated by an electrical current. When stimulated, this armature is magnetized which causes it to rotate one way or the other around a pivot point which moves the diaphragm to create sound. Balanced armature driver headphones are generally earbuds and can have multiple drivers in each earbud.
Dynamic drivers are the most common driver type. They feature a permanent magnet, usually neodymium, a voice coil and a conical diaphragm to drive your music. A dynamic headphone driver looks pretty much identical to any typical home theater speaker.
Electrostatic drivers are made up of an extremely thin membrane, usually a coated PET film, stretched between two metal plates. An electrical signal is applied to the metal plates to create an electrical field which, depending on its polarity, draws the speaker diaphragm toward one of the plates which forces air through the perforations in the diaphragm which generates the sound wave.
Planar Magnetic:
A planar magnetic driver is made up of a large membrane suspended between two sets of oppositely aligned magnets. An electric charge is applied to the membrane to induce movement and produce sound waves.

These very affordable ear buds are comfortable, deliver a good quality of sound to my ears, seem durable and the cord stays relatively tangle-free.
I would definitely recommend these ear buds especially for use where your more costly ones might sustain damage.

I have been on a quest for a better set of earbuds. I play professionally and accurate sound is important to me whether I am listening on my mp3 player, computer, or phone. The Panasonic RPHJE120K black earbuds have a smooth natural full sound. They have great fitting earbuds that have 3 sizes. They are an amazing value at around $10-. You can listen for hours without fatigue due to their smooth silky sound. Some earbuds have shrill highs, not these. The earbuds are also clearly marked L and R, which some brands are tough to figure out. I have bought 2 pairs of these and plan to buy more.

These earphones are excellent for the low price. They provide great audio clarity and great bass. I can use either the medium or large tips without them ever falling out of my ears while running or working out. I recommend them without hesitation. In fact, I bought two more pairs for friends after I received mine.

I was in the business for a pair of earbuds I could use at work. After a few days of research, I decided to pick these up. At the time I purchased them, they were a little over 5 bucks. They come with 3 sets of earbuds. I'm sure one will fit you just fine.
Pros: Nice solid bass. Inexpensive. Comfortable. For those reasons alone, I have recommended these to a few coworkers.
Cons: NONE as of yet, I wear mine approximately 4hrs a day when @ work and longer if I'm working out.
Don't base your decision on the price, this is a great set of earbuds. I would not hesitate if I needed another pair.

GOP-controlled state government, future of dystopian society
The state government at work: Yikes!
MADISON, Wis. - I awake each morning with a happy dream: Perhaps I have just been imagining that the Republicans have taken over our state government and proceeded to wreck it.
Then I pick up the paper and read the headlines.
One day, I'm told, the Legislature has decided the state has no power to regulate high capacity wells, even if a multiplicity of such wells might dry up creeks and ruin the wells that provide drinking water for our families.
The next day -- or the previous day, it's hard to keep track -- I learn that it isn't enough to cut aid to education by almost a billion dollars, we're going to take some of what money is left and give it to private schools. I know I'm old, but I do remember a day when our public schools were the pride of Wisconsin.
Now, the legislature is debating abortion. The majority wants to force women to go through ultrasound procedures before having an abortion and it wants to force doctors who provide abortions to have admitting privileges to local hospitals (that doesn't sound too bad unless you understand it would prohibit a Madison doctor from serving a clinic in, say, Green Bay).
And, then, I see national stories suggesting that Gov. Scott Walker is being taken seriously as a potential presidential candidate. Why? Well, I guess some people think that taking money out of the pockets of government employees and destroying their ability to bargain work conditions is reason enough.
I see all this stuff and I wonder, "What in hell happened?"
Actually, I pretty much know what happened. Democracy happened. There has always been a contingent of us who thought we should give up our pretensions of being a great state and, instead, settle for being a mediocre state.
I even have some sympathy for that position. Many of the people I know work long, hard hours at fairly low-paying jobs. They don't get the benefits that state workers enjoy. Their children don't go to the great University of Wisconsin. Their communities don't even have bus service, much less high-speed rail.
These are real frustrations, frustrations that Madison Democrats are all too willing to dismiss.
Unfortunately, turning a good state into a mediocre state isn't going to resolve these honest resentments.
That's the sad part. The Republican reforms aren't leading to new jobs. They aren't leading to better rural schools.
Limiting a woman's constitutional right to an abortion won't do a thing toward helping that woman raise the baby we want her to deliver.
The problem is that we're taking things away -- things I would argue helped make this a great state, even for those who aren't in the elite -- and we're not replacing them with anything better, actually, not with anything at all.
But, it's a democracy. We elected these people. Then, we reelected them. I think my best bet is to stop reading the morning paper.

The Tower of David Museum in Jerusalem is one site that no visitor should miss. This amazing museum offers you the opportunity to experience captivating exhibits that will deepen your understanding of the Holy City. But, even more, its very stones are part of this city's living history.
The complex housing the museum, located at the Old City's Jaffa Gate, spans the centuries: its nearly 500-year-old walls are part of the Turkish citadel; its name derives from a tower so massive that early Jerusalemites ascribed it to their great King David (ironically its builder was actually the much-maligned King Herod); and, finally, the spire standing over it became a worldwide symbol for Jerusalem after the British General Allenby marched into Jerusalem beneath its shadow in 1917.
Your visit can begin with a breathtaking view of old and new Jerusalem from the top of the tower for which the museum is named. After that, you can explore the many incredible exhibits, where videos, dioramas, and computer graphics come together to illuminate the complexities of a city unique in the annals of human history. Each ancient room has been renovated to showcase a different historical era, allowing the tempestuous events of 4,000 years of history to fall perfectly into place in your mind.
Along the way, you'll see that the windows frame glimpses of modern Jerusalem, and with each doorway you exit, you can look down into the citadel's central courtyard, where archaeologists have unearthed remains dating from the Maccabees to the Middle Ages. The museum also utilizes its unique space for multisensory exhibits by leading designers and artists from Israel and abroad, and for memorable private functions.

Third year of President's Lecture Series begins Oct. 14
Posted October 9, 2003; 04:19 p.m.
The lecture series started by President Shirley M. Tilghman in 2001 to bring together faculty members from different disciplines will continue this year with three more lectures.
The President's Lecture Series grew out of meetings Tilghman had with faculty shortly after she was named president. She asked for suggestions for new programs, and faculty responded with the idea for a forum where they could come together and learn about the work other faculty members are doing in a variety of fields.
These lectures are planned for the 2003-04 academic year:
- On Tuesday, Oct. 14, Bess Ward , professor of geosciences, will speak on "Strange Biogeochemistry of Permanently Ice-Covered Lakes in the Dry Valleys of Antarctica." She will discuss her research on lakes in Antarctica, which offer unique opportunities to investigate the role of trace metals in controlling bacterial processes in the nitrogen cycle. "The waters in the various lakes have strange and interesting chemical compositions, and because of the extreme environment, provide somewhat simpler systems in which to investigate processes which occur in marine, freshwater and terrestrial environments all over the world," she said.
- On Wednesday, Dec. 10, Anthony Appiah , the Laurance Rockefeller University Professor of Philosophy and the University Center for Human Values, will present a lecture concerning the ethics of identity.
- On Wednesday, March 3, Marta Tienda , the Maurice During Professor in Demographic Studies and professor of sociology and public affairs, will discuss her current research on demography, inequality and access to higher education.
All lectures will begin at 4:30 p.m. and are free and open to the public. The locations of the Dec. 10 and March 3 lectures will be announced. All lectures will be available for viewing in the WebMedia archives.

Looking forward to the new gta. Hopefully they swayed away from gta IV , still haven't finished it and i have had it since it was released. I have played every inch of gta 3 ,vice city, san andreas, liberty city & vice city stories, but vice city is still one of my favorite games of all time. Looking forward to the return to san andreas but there is no beating the vice city story lines. I have been playing video games since the 80's atari asteroids, frogger, donkey kong, etc. but i have always liked the free roam games by gta on playstation. I guess it's the replay ability. It's amazing how i can remember every detail to those games i played years ago, down the most smallest alley's and hidden items, but sometimes i can't remember what i ate for dinner last week.
As for beating up hookers to make money or recoup money, you are not playing the game correctly, you are bored.
Vice City is by far my favorite one. Mostly because of the rock soundtrack. Nothing like cruising at top speed listening to some Iron Maiden, Megadeth or Flock of Seagulls.
And AFCMiamiEast is correct. If you are killing hookers to get your money back, you are bored. Matter of fact. You go parking with a hooker in the game you can increase your life points to 125 if you have full life. It's totally worth it.
Remember. Never goto the Library without your shotgun.
Saints Row 4 coming out soon! :420:
I can't wait to fly the hydra around again. But first things first I'm driving a jet ski off a waterfall.

A Leisurely Pace on Monterey Bay
Asilomar Conference Grounds • Pacific Grove, CA
Escape Kit
- A One-Night Stay for Two, Sundays through Thursdays ($99) or Fridays and Saturdays ($109)
- Breakfast for Two
- Complimentary Wi-Fi and Parking
- Combine Vouchers to Stay for Up to Five Nights
Life seems to pick up speed every day, but you don't have to sit back and watch time zip by. Instead, slow down to a more comfortable pace with this Escape to the Asilomar Conference Grounds in Monterey Bay's Pacific Grove.
Settle in for a one-night stay for two in a Standard Asilomar or Historic Room, Sundays through Thursdays ($99) or Fridays and Saturdays ($109). You'll receive breakfast for two as well as complimentary Wi-Fi and parking. The urban sprawl will melt away as you relax in front of the fireplace in the main lobby.
"Natural beauty is at the heart of this region's enormous appeal—you sense it everywhere, whether you're exploring one of Monterey Bay's attractive coast-side towns or touring the coast on the lookout for marine life," says Fodor's review of Monterey Bay.
When you rise in the morning, an included breakfast at the Crocker Dining Hall will help you shine. Refuel with local, seasonal fruit; fresh, naturally sweetened juice; and hearty whole grains. It's a feast for your palate and your eyes when you dine in view of tree-lined dunes rolling toward the sea.
Located on 107 acres of park land, the historic 1913 property stands tall among evergreen woods skirting the coast of the Asilomar State Beach. Venture down the boardwalk to the sandy preserve where yellow verbena, sagewort, and yarrow grow thick. Wade into the hidden coves in search of tidal pools brimming with life: purple starfish, swaying anemones, and aptly named scurrying hermit crabs inhabit a world in miniature.
You can opt to rent a bike at the Park Store for a scenic ride without all the traffic, or try chasing butterflies on a self-guided Forest Walk through the dense pines and oaks.
Save the hustle for another day. With this Escape, you'll see that Monterey Bay is far too beautiful to lose in the blur.
"If you love nature and historical buildings, Asilomar is the place for you. You'll sleep in comfy beds while being cradled by the sound of the nearby ocean and you may awaken to the sight of deer grazing under your windows. Breakfast is great."-- TripAdvisor

Now, said brews don't measure up to the finest offerings in the better beer world (psst: you get what you pay for). But at $11 or so (with tax) for a dozen DUNDEEs and $13ish for the SARANAC variety packs, bang meets buck. And with their price point, relative quality, and mostly play-it-safe product, they're a good gateway to the craft realm (with the promise of greater delights down the road).
Matt Brewing Company of Utica, NY, is the second-oldest family-owned brewery in the US (estab. 1888; Yuengling is the oldest). In 1985 they introduced the Saranac line of craft beers, which was the sixth-largest-selling craft company in 2011. And with good reason: their fare is well-made, and you can actually taste the ingredients they list on the bottle. They offer five "core beers," and 46 wide-ranging seasonals. Their main sampler is the Adirondack Trail Mix ("The Original Craft Beer Variety Pack," they say), including an IPA, Black Forest (a Bavarian-style black beer), Pale Ale, and Lager — all solid, satisfying, and true to their styles.
Strictly speaking, Dundee isn't a "craft brewer" as defined by the Brewers Association ("annual production is 6 million barrels of beer or less and no more than 25 percent of the craft brewery is owned or controlled by an alcoholic beverage industry member who is not themselves a craft brewer"). They're part of North American Breweries (which was recently acquired by the Florida Ice & Farm Co [!], a Costa Rican conglom), which includes Pyramid, Magic Hat, and Genesee; Dundee Ales & Lagers was introduced in 2008, as a spinoff from J.W. Dundee's Honey Brown Original. But the price — less than $1 a bottle! — overrides the categorization. Their current variety pack includes India Pale Ale, English-Style Ale, Pale Ale, and Porter; last summer's box had Pilsner, Pale Bock Lager, and Stout. Those last two, plus the IPA and Porter, are standouts. Oh, and there's another way to tell Dundee is "craft lite" — the caps twist off. All together now: "You get what you pay for !"

You've probably made paper airplanes. You fold a sheet of paper to resemble an airplane and then just fling it into the air. It seems to fly on its own. Of course, all if its energy actually comes from you. But if you've folded the paper correctly, after you let go of the plane it may glide on the air for a while before falling back to the ground.
Amazing But True!
- Did you know that some real airplanes are like paper airplanes? They are called gliders. They don't have engines, so like paper airplanes, their energy must come from somewhere else.
- Do you know how real gliders work? Where do they get their energy? And without an engine, how do they stay aloft? Watch this video to find out.
Can You Apply It?
With the video above and links below, learn more about gliders. Then answer the following questions.

- How does a glider such as a sailplane gain potential energy?
- How does a glider convert the potential energy it gains to kinetic energy?
- A glider applies Bernoulli's law to generate lift. Explain how.
- Gliders are constantly descending because of gravity. But some gliders can stay aloft for hours. Explain why.

Man found with $200K in stolen cheese, police say
Police: Illinois man found with Wisconsin cheese
MADISON, Wis. - One man is facing criminal charges in New Jersey after detectives found a truck he was driving with roughly $200,000 worth of stolen Muenster cheese from Wisconsin.
Veniamin Konstantinovich Balika, 34, of Plainfield, Ill., was arrested at the Vince Lombardi Service Area off the New Jersey Turnpike. New Jersey State Police Detective 1 Oliver Sissman said he allegedly provided false paperwork to the distributor of K&K Cheese in Cashton last week to get the 42,000 pounds of cheese loaded onto his 18-wheel truck. The food was supposed to go to Texas before the New Jersey State Police Cargo Theft unit intercepted it thousands of miles away.
"This is the first time this has ever happened to us," said Kevin Everhart, the general manager of K & K, which operates under the Old Country Cheese Factory label. "The trucking company we contract with will take care of the money we lost, but it's still a shame. Still sad that this happened."
The Monroe County company processes 120,000 pounds of fresh milk every day from more than 200 Amish milk producers in the area. It ships Amish cheese and gift boxes all over the country.19498872
Everhart said the company could not guarantee the cheese had not been tampered with, so it did not ask for its product back. New Jersey health authorities will inspect it and if it's found to be safe, it will be donated to charity.
New Jersey authorities say Balika was preparing to sell the cheese for well under market value to retailers on the east coast.
"There's a black market for everything," said Sissman. "We've seen everything stolen. We've found stolen beer, stolen food, stolen machine parts, but this is the first time, we've found stolen cheese.
"When I looked inside and saw stolen cheese, I thought, of course it's from Wisconsin," said Sissman.

Melasma is patches of dark skin that appear on areas of the face exposed to the sun.
Chloasma; Mask of pregnancy; Pregnancy mask
Melasma is a very common skin disorder. It is most common in young women with brownish skin tone, but it can affect anyone.
Melasma is often associated with the female hormones estrogen and progesterone. It is common in:
Being in the sun makes melasma more likely to develop. The problem is more common in tropical climates.
The only symptom of melasma is change in skin color. However, this can cause distress about how you look.
The skin color changes are most often an even brown color. They usually appear on the cheeks, forehead, nose, or upper lip. Dark patches are usually symmetrical (matching on both sides of the face).
Your health care provider will look at your skin to diagnose the problem. A closer exam using a Wood's lamp may help guide your treatment.
Treatments may include:
Melasma often fades over several months after you stop taking hormone medicines or pregnancy ends. The problem may come back in future pregnancies or use if you use these medicines again.
Call your health care provider if you have darkening of your face that does not go away.
Using sunscreen every dahelps prevent melasma. Sunscreen use also helps prevent skin cancer and wrinkles.

Be intelligently skeptical about technology, says computing innovator
Posted October 1, 2008; 03:51 p.m.
Comparative literature major Christina Lara enrolled in "Computers in Our World" during her senior year at Princeton after deciding that she needed to become an informed citizen of the 21st century.
"I really couldn't distinguish the difference between 'software' and 'hardware,' I had no idea what Java was (apart from an island in Indonesia) and I thought the Internet was a magic land of information floating somewhere out there," she said.
Currently a Princeton in Latin America fellow working with teachers of rural schools in Mexico, Lara, who graduated in 2007, credits computer science professor Brian Kernighan's approach with opening her eyes to the world around her and making technology accessible, rather than formidable.
"The course was perfect for somebody like me, somebody who needs to really grasp the application of science in our lives," she said. "Professor Kernighan did a wonderful job easing us into technology, seamlessly presenting a real-life, real-time news article or current event at the beginning of almost every class."
As he explores the computers that pervade our lives — from laptops and cell phones to airplanes and medical equipment — Kernighan draws on the latest advances in technology, seeking to help students understand how everything is connected. MySpace and YouTube become perfect course fodder, as do the ongoing battles between students and the music industry over copyright violations.
"I want students to understand specific technologies, but the real goal is that they should be able to reason about how systems work and be intelligently skeptical about technology, so that when they're running the world in a few years, they'll do a good job," he said.
Kernighan himself has ample experience outside the classroom. After earning his Ph.D. from Princeton in 1969, he went to work at Bell Labs, where he was part of the group behind the Unix operating system and the programming language "C."

Elizabeth Linder, who graduated from Princeton in 2007 and majored in French and Italian, relies on the skills she gained in Kernighan's class in her current position on Google's Global Communications and Public Affairs team.
"I am at the crossroads between the mainstream, public perception of technology and the computer scientist/engineering understanding of our products," she said. "The ability to bridge these two worlds forms a pillar of Professor Kernighan's class — and is also a foundation of my everyday job."
The course had a similarly transformative effect on the career of 2003 graduate Jacob Glass.
Until taking "Computers in Our World," Glass was positive he'd major in molecular biology — he was interested in human genetics and had always thought of computers as a fun hobby, but nothing more. The course opened his eyes to the connections between his interests, and he is now a student in the Albert Einstein College of Medicine's M.D./Ph.D. program specializing in bioinformatics.
"I realized that computers didn't have to take a back seat to laboratory science — they could actually drive it in new and interesting directions," he said. "Professor Kernighan's uniquely creative lecture style and homework assignments made me re-evaluate my thoughts about computer science, and eventually major in the department."

Deceased inmate should have been in hospital not jail
SPOKANE, Wash. - Spokane fire officials said Monday that a man who died in the Spokane County Jail over the weekend should have been in the emergency room at the hospital and not behind bars.
Christopher James Parker, 33, did have an active warrant for his arrest, but Parker, who was a diabetic, was apparently suffering from a drug overdose. So he called 9-1-1 for help early Sunday morning.
Shortly after 3 a.m. a Spokane police officer went to his residence in the 2100 block of W. 4th Ave. to check Parker.Jail death Monday folo
"A Spokane police officer did contact the individual. He admitted to the officer that he had ingested methamphetamine. He also indicated he was a diabetic," Washington State Patrol Trooper Jeff Sevigney said.
Paramedics were also called to Parker's residence and conducted a medical evaluation of him.
"They evaluated him; they determined based on their physical findings that he did not need to be transported to the hospital and he was released in the care of the police department," Spokane Assistant Fire Chief Brian Schaeffer said.
However, once he was taken to the jail things escalated with Parker. Deputies, according to Sevigney, had to resort to using a taser to gain control of him. He was subsequently placed into a restraint chair, lost consciousness and later died.
On Monday Schaeffer said the fire department is now looking into the handling of the medical evaluation of Parker that cleared him to go to jail instead of the emergency room.
"If indeed this patient had ingested that methamphetamine, while he did not display any critical symptoms that were identified by the paramedic company, obviously there's a concern we might have missed something and now looking through retrospectively, we probably did," Schaeffer said.
"Now all I can do at this point is try to make this situation a case for learning for us to go forward, make sure this doesn't happen again, and try to improve the system,"he added.
An autopsy was performed on Parker Monday by the medical examiner. The cause of death is listed as "pending further studies."
The Spokane Investigative Regional Response Team, which is made of multiple law enforcement agencies from across the Inland Northwest, is investigating Parker's death.

Yes, according to a Bloomberg article.
Yesterday, Europe announced that tariffs on Chinese solar panels would begin at 11.8%, before heading higher to a range of 37.2% to 67.9% in two months. That time is expected to be used to hash out an agreement to avoid the duties altogether.
In the meantime, expect imports of Chinese solar products into Europe to rise, Bloomberg says.
The rate comes as a relief to Chinese producers that were anticipating steeper penalties, said Angelo Zino, an analyst at Standard & Poor's Financial Services LLC in New York. European customers may stockpile panels before the duties increase, and some companies expect Beijing and the EU to negotiate a deal that avoids the higher tariffs.
"We were looking at north of 35 percent," Zino said in an interview yesterday. "If you're a Chinese solar maker, it's pretty good news. At the same time, it leaves open the door for them to potentially negotiate a deal in the coming months."
China's solar stocks have staged a muted rally today. LDK Solar (LDK) has jumped 3.5% to $1.48, JinkoSolar (JKS) has gained 2.2% to $8.27, ReneSola (SOL) has climbed 2.7% to $1.92 and Canadian Solar (CSIQ) has ticked up 2.5% to $8.91. Yingli Green Energy (YGE) has dropped 1.4% to $2.75.

To often we do things just to do things, what I mean by that is that we go through the motions to punch a ticket, fulfil the minimum requirements or just get by on a task.
I see this all the time on camp outs, especially camp outs like Camporee. The Scouts are "Required" to have their 10 Essentials on them throughout the course of the day. The 10 essentials are supposed to be inspected or at least an inspectable item as they go from event to event and in some cases they may have to use one.
But have you seen some of these "10 essential" kits. The boys have learned to "MAX the MINIMUM". One of the 10 essentials is extra clothes. In most cases that is a pair of socks or a t- shirt. Hardly what is meant by extra clothes. Or take a look at their Extra food. A candy bar?
You see the 10 Essentials is an insurance policy in your backpack.
The 10 essentials system is designed to ensure that no matter what you are prepared. A quick look at the 10 items and why they are essentials needs to be taught to the Scouts. It is not a matter of maxing the minimum, it could be a matter of survival in the case of an emergency.
First. A Map.
No matter where you go, there is a map for the location. Always have a map of the area that you are going to be. This is more important than you realise, especially when you get disoriented…A glance at the map can get you back on track, find your trail, and get you out of the mess you find yourself. Even without a compass, a map can be the difference between being lost and stay lost.
Second. A Compass.
A compass is a life saver. Carry a compass, at all times, in the back country–and know how to use it ! Some features to look for:
a. 0 to 360 degrees, preferably, in 2 degree increments;
liquid filled, which protects the magnetic needle and its jeweled bearing and minimizes fluctuation;
b. a base plate–3″ to 4″, in length– which can be used as a straight-edge for taking map bearings and determining distances on maps;
c. an adjustable declination to account for the difference between Magnetic North and True North. The compass responds to Magnetic North, whereas, maps are based upon True North. Therefore, the compass needs to be adjusted to compensate. An adjustable declination feature lets you turn a small screw to "permanently" adjust declination to match the geographic area you will be in, so that you don't need to calculate your bearing each time.
Third. A Flashlight or preferably a Headlamp.
It is important to carry a headlamp, even for a day trip. You never know when you may get stuck and end up remaining over night. Or hiking out in hours of darkness. Headlamps allow you hands free light, which is best when hiking, tying knots, and cooking.
Fourth. Extra Food.
Whenever you go out, even for a day trip, bring extra food in case you are delayed by emergencies, foul weather, or just get lost. It is suggested by most experts to carry a one-day supply. At the very least, bring one good meal more than what you need. The food should require little or no cooking. If your extra food will require cooking, make sure you also carry extra fuel for your stove.
Fifth. Extra Clothing
Aside from the basic layers that you will normally wear, take along something extra. Something that may add a layer, keep you dry, or warm. Clothing that will get you through a night in wilderness. A jacket that is water proof as well as wind proof, a sweater, or fleece long johns. A t-shirt or extra socks, while they are needed would not be considered "Extra clothes".
Sixth. Sunglasses.
While Sunglasses do not seem so essential, it is amazing how snow, sun, wind, and UV rays damage your eyes. Sunglasses become critical when in the back country as the last thing you want is to get out there and not enjoy the beauty that you came out there to see.
Eye damage can be lasting. Eye protection is a must.
Seventh. First Aid kit.
The item that you never want to use. Make sure to carry plenty of bandages in various sizes. Tweezers and a needle should be in your kit. Mole skin and neosporin should also be in your first aid kit. Build your own or buy one, but have a first aid kit.
Also a small book on wilderness first aid is a good idea to have in your kit. It will help in a pinch, and it is also good reading while you wait for help.
Eighth. Pocket Knife or Multi tool.
You can use your pocket knife for lots of things. Cutting food, cutting kindling and tinder for a fire, cutting rope, or getting out of a tight spot. Essential to you in more ways than you think, your pocket knife is essential for fire, shelter, food, and first aid.
Ninth. Waterproof Matches.
Carry matches which have been waterproofed or wind and waterproofed, or else carry extra strike-anywhere matches–along with something to strike them on– in a waterproof container. Keep these matches separate from your regular matches that way you only use them in case of emergency.
Tenth. Water/Water Bottle.
You must have water to live. So caring extra water is a good idea. Water bottles full or a bladder like a Camel Back or Platypus store in the pack and carry fair amounts.
The ability to purify water is a must. A good pump or tablets are easy to carry and use.
Now that we have looked at the 10 Essentials lets take a quick look at a few additional items that are a must. They are the plus 5.
Fire Starter. Store bought or homemade. Cotton balls soaked in wax or lint from the dryer. Having something that will get your fire started faster will be a nice help in the wilderness.
A Whistle. Weather making noise in bear country, or blowing it to get found. A whistle is a light weight tool that has multiple uses.
Insect repellent. Good to have to keep the bugs off. Keeps you from swatting and scratching, and prevents you from perhaps getting sick.
Sun Block. Just like sunglasses, you do not want to get a sun burn. Sun burns can ruin a good trip, and the longer you are exposed the deeper the burn can get. Get at least SPF 15.
And finally the most important essential of them all.
Having the right gear is good. Knowing how to use that gear is better. More often than not it is not the persons gear that saves them in a pinch. It is the knowledge of how to use the gear. It is their experience, good judgement, and know how that ultimately saves them.
Inexperience and lack of knowledge in the wilderness is a recipe for disaster.
And that is why we focus so much attention on skills. Many nights of camping should develop confidence and skills. If you take the time and energy to camp well and practice good skills, ensure you have the right gear and take care of it, and learn the basics of Map and Compass, fire building, first aid, you will be able to make sound choices and get yourself out of trouble in the wilderness.
In short. DON'T MAX THE MINIMUM!

Have a Great Scouting Day.

Artist Tony Oursler to discuss his work, Feb. 22
Posted February 18, 2005; 05:48 p.m.
Contemporary artist Tony Oursler will discuss his work at 4:30 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 22, in the Stewart Film Theater, 185 Nassau St.
Oursler, who lives in New York, has worked in video, sculpture, installation, performance and painting. He explores the influences of television, particularly MTV, in whose broadcasts special effects play a considerable role -- and to which special effects artists of his generation have contributed much.
Oursler considers his work to be more traditional than the work of other media artists: He most often creates sculptures -- though highly unconventional ones. His mixed media installations have included theatrical objects, such as puppets and dolls, that are layered with video projections and spoken text. His work has been exhibited extensively in the United States, Europe and Japan.
Oursler's talk is part of the /@rts (pronounced "slash arts") lecture series, which explores interrelations of new media, technology and traditional forms and practices of arts and humanities. It is co-sponsored by the School of Engineering and Applied Science, the Office of Information Technology, the Council for the Humanities, the Program in Visual Arts, the Department of Computer Science, the Department of Music and the Unversity Art Museum.

Yay the big brown truck dropped off my 1/10 Rally 4WD Orange/Black car after lunch. I came home from work and the little guy had opened the shipping box it came in. He was all excited to start busting into the box. LOL I told him we can after soccer practice and supper. After finishing supper ( he almost fell asleep on the couch ), I whispered in his ear you want to open the car and he jumped up with excitement. Needless to say we opened the box and he helped me inspect everything over. He was super excited. Even the wife liked it and thought it was awesome. I promised him the TQi transmitter, so that was all his. ;)
I tucked the little family in bed and looked the car over. First off this car is frigg'n huge and a piece of art work. Of course the Orange/ Black body is the sweetest look'n. 1000x better in person, & pics don't do it any justice. My only concern is the shell is paper thin. Any carnage and it'll be toast. I think i'm going to drywall tape and sho-goo the inside. Any of you guys going to do that?? I'm really digg'n this new LCG chassis, it hugs the ground perfectly. Very good R&D Traxxas. I yanked the old Nimh pack and test fitted my 2S SPC 5400 50c with no issues whatsoever. I centralized the pack in the chassis pan and it fit perfectly, won't be no movement here. I'm a huge fan of the sliding battery hold downs. This needs to be used in more Traxxas models. :thumbup: The shocks aren't to bad, they seem to hold the car in place fairly nice ( talk about this later on). I also like the use of the MJ rear sliding shock mount ( looks to be the same width, not positive though ). The front mounts are totally sweet, they rock to fit the curves of the body, ingenious!! Lastly the tires arent that bad. I could see getting a pair of street treads for on road use. When I test fitted the pack I had to test out the electrics to make sure they are good to go. This car actually runs nice & quiet with the stock brushless system. Really peppy, even with stock gearing. I'm impressed even out of box form.
Starting the upgrading process didnt last long. I did the test run as stated above. First thing I did was pulled the Ultras and installed the Losi 10-Ts. This took a few minutes as I jacked them from my Rusty build. As much as I wanted to be in a hurry I took my time to get everything right. These upgraded shocks are so much more plush. I managed to get both sets removed, ultras to the Rusty and the 10-T's installed on the new Rally. I set the springs to where I felt they would work best at the moment. I'm currently running the stock black springs that come on the losi's. I want them to stay stiff so this might be the perfect setup. I'll see once I put the car in action. Man time flew once I started messing with the car and drewling all over it. This is as far as I went before I went in for some *shut eye*.
My plans this evening are to solder on bigger 4.0mm bullets on the ET-3S & ET-2400kv combo. Plus cover the wires with mesh & heat shrink. I have a few more parts in the mail that are scheduled for delivery this week. The Traxxas alloy bearing adapter 6893x should be in the breadbox today. The upgraded slipper and alloy shoes by Friday. That's all for now. Saturday looks like it might be a nice day for running. Plus cooler weather is on the horizon for us in the South. LOL
The upgrade plans for the future are another set of RPM A-arms ( have one set ready for install ), Lunsford Titanium Punisher links & hinge pins, and the battery expansion kit. Other thoughts down the road are either Tekno or MIP axles. I'm debating on whether or not I want to dye my chassis. Its good for show but not sure i'm going to do it since its so low riding. What are ya'll doing? I seen one guy already did and it came out reall good.
I think I hit this up pretty good and in short an idea or what upgrade plans are in the future. Now to the snap shots of it direct from the packaging.
I have to say the safety cone Orange is the sweetest!! LOL

Laurier-YMCA moving forward
Jul 11/14
The Laurier-YMCA has taken another major step forward with Brantford city councils approval for a title transfer for land on the south side of Colborne Street.
In addition, council approved a grant of up to $5.21 million to Laurier and the YMCA of Hamilton/Burlington/Brantford for the construction of the athletics and recreation centre.
A groundbreaking is scheduled to take place in the fall, with construction slated to last for up to 30 months. D. Grant Construction has been awarded the contract as construction manager for the site-preparation stage of the project. They previously served as the general contractor on the construction of Lauriers Research and Academic Centre.
The Laurier-YMCA will be a five-storey, 150,000-square-foot building. The facility will be a community athletics and recreation centre with gyms, a pool, fitness spaces, classrooms, offices, a lounge, meeting rooms, a café, and other spaces used by students and the broader community.
Total cost for the project is $58.4 million. In addition to the $5.21 million from the city of Brantford, the project has received $16.7 million from both the provincial and federal governments, and a $1-million donation from Roger and Edith Davis and from Steve and Helen Kun. The balance will come from further fundraising, the university (including $3.6-million from undergraduate students) and the YMCA.
