About Us
The Centre for Accident Research and Road Safety – Queensland (CARRS-Q) is the leading centre in Australia dedicated to research, education and outreach activities in road safety, and is a vital player in the international pursuit of road safety. CARRS-Q exemplifies an approach to shaping and informing public debate that works through long-term partnerships with key government and industry bodies. The Centre was founded by well-known and respected Professor of Psychology Mary Sheehan , and is currently headed by Professor Narelle Haworth , with a very strong support team of leading academics.
CARRS-Q was established in 1996 as a joint venture initiative of the Motor Accident Insurance Commission (MAIC) and Queensland University of Technology (QUT) . The Centre was created to address the enormous human, economic and social costs resulting from road crashes. This was made possible by a grant from MAIC through the QUT Foundation. MAIC and QUT provide core funding for staff and research infrastructure. The Centre also obtains major funding support through successful national competitive research grants and consultancies.
The Centre is renowned internationally and is the premier trainer of road safety researchers and practitioners in the Asia-Pacific region. At the state and national level, CARRS-Q has had a major impact on road safety and injury prevention policies and practices, through both government and industry linkages. Internationally, the Centre's success in winning the ICADTS Institutional Widmark Award and its hosting of the triennial ICADTS Conference in 2013 confirms that it is a world leader in road safety.
The growing skill base of the Centre and the acquisition of key research infrastructure, such as the Advanced Driving Simulator, positions CARRS-Q in an ideal situation to expand the scope and significance of its activities. Over recent years, the Centre has established a growing international profile in new areas such as injury prevention among young adults, motorcycle and bicycle safety, intelligent transport systems (ITS), road safety infrastructure, workforce safety, and professional road safety training and capacity building.
Into the future, this renewed funding will both consolidate and extend CARRS-Q's capacity to undertake world class research and professional education activities, in order to become a leading international centre in both road safety and injury prevention.
CARRS-Q works collaboratively with strong networks in the road safety and injury prevention fields. One important mechanism for external involvement is the Centre's Advisory Committee which has members from key groups within the industry including the Department of Transport and Main Roads, RACQ, Queensland Police Service, Queensland Trucking Association, iRAP, and the Workplace Health and Safety industry.
The Centre has successfully developed and maintained a strong research and consultancy profile, collaborative research linkages and activities with government, other universities, commercial organisations and cooperatives. It is a key member of the Injury Prevention and Rehabilitation domain of the Institute of Health and Biomedical Innovation (IHBI) at QUT. The Centre also provides postgraduate research training and professional education in road safety. It has a large cohort of PhD and Masters students, as well as special programs for practitioners.
Road safety is an issue of global concern, and CARRS-Q is committed to participating internationally as well as nationally in efforts to promote road safety and reduce road fatalities and injuries. We do this by participating in international organisations and conferences, collaborating with international partners, and by building road safety capacity through the training of professionals, practitioners and researchers in road safety.
Over the next three years, the Centre aims to strengthen and broaden research and intervention in priority areas that have been informed by four key considerations including the need to:
- address issues of concern identified in the new draft National Road Safety Strategy (SCOT, 2010) and the current Queensland Road Safety Strategy (Qld Government, 2002), such as speeding, driver distraction, young driver safety and road infrastructure safety
- consolidate existing areas of research strength within the Centre, such as impaired driving and fleet safety
- align activity with emerging areas of research strength within the Centre
- ensure the Centre has sufficient research capacity to conduct world class research in the identified areas.

GFCI Outlet in Bathroom
Hello all! This is my first post here so here it goes.
I am doing some renovation in the bathroom - new drywall, tiling, fixtures, etc.
The bathroom is very old and has 1 lightswitch that is on the same circuit as the bedroom (says 15 on the panel, assuming 15 amps).
Also has 1 outlet that was not GFCI but I am thinking I should install a GFCI for code/protection, since it is right above the sink. I included a few pictures of the outlet in question here:
I have changed all of the regular wall outlets in the home that had either 3 or 5 wires, but the ground always seemed to be the copper wire, but in this outlet there is the extra white wire attached to the bottom of the outlet, is that the ground, or something else?
The number on the panel says 20, once again, i'm assuming that means 20 amps. It seems to be on the same circuit as the bathroom adjacent to it and one of the living room outlets downstairs.
I have been doing a lot of research on the forums and it seems like a GFCI is necessary, and a 15 amp GFCI would be okay with a 20 amp circuit. But I just want some of your opinions on what I should do (short of rewiring anything).
Thanks in advance for everything! :thumbup:
Modern code for a bathroom requires a 20a GFCI outlet. Your lights should be ok sharing the 15a circuit with the bedroom, but the bathroom outlet should have its own 20a circuit - which as you suspected, would require some rewiring.
At the very least, change that outlet to a GFCI that matches the amperage of the circuit. That's the first step to not getting electrocuted. This doesn't bring you up to code, but makes it less dangerous. The wire connecting the metal box to the ground screw is the ground wire, and should be bare-copper or green. The previous owner could have just used a scrap of whatever he had - white.
A 15 amp GFI receptacle is fine on a 20 amp circuit and is allowed by Code.
so what you are saying is for safety i should:
remove that outlet, and install a 15 amp gfci, such as this one:
I would just take the two wires and attach them to the line part of the GFCI, ground it using a new copper wire, and leave the load empty?
But for code, I would need to have a professional electrician come and run new circuits from the panel up to the outlet in question (and the other two outlets on the circuit)?
Is this correct?
If it was my house, yes I would have an electrician to come and run a new circuit. I am not very knowledgeable about electrical work, so that is why I would want an electrician come and look over the whole job. The way they used a white wire for the ground and back stabbed the other two wires i would put the cover back on and call someone.
It's better to use a 20a outlet on a 20a circuit to be on the safe side.
We can only hope that white wire is the ground wire. I can't see what it says on that connection on the outlet, but it's connected to the metal box, so it darn well better be the ground.
Do you know why metallic cable is used? I can't think of a good reason for that. It is probably acting as the ground, but if they thought of that, they would have just used grounded cable to begin with.
There is no advantage to a 20 amp duplex over a 15 amp on a 20 amp circuit. The difference is the slot configuration. A 15 amp device is still rated for 20 amp feed through.
Jim, thanks, what does the term duplex refer to in describing receptacles.
It means 2, and pretty easily Googled.

How much is it to have an artist draw a portrait of us? I have seen some artists in action frequently in Bukit Bintang sidewalks and in malls. I have mine drawn before when I was in London last time... too bad I lost the portrait, it was too many years ago, I must have misplaced it when my house got flooded last time...
I think it is not cheap to have our portrait drawn... Wonder how much to have our picture drawn like this below.. Nothing like the original but then who is complaining.... I cannot crop this "Artist" out from the picture... hahahaa... so bad of me... nevertheless I like his "masterpiece" It looks like real... right? LOL...

In the Shadow by David Ondricek (Czech Republic/Poland/Israel, 2012, 106 min.). A noir thriller set behind the Iron Curtain in 1950s Prague, this suspenseful crime drama follows police captain Hakl (Ivan Trojan, four time Czech Lion winner) as he investigates a seemingly mundane robbery. Hakl defiantly continues his investigation even after his superiors bring in Major Zenke (Sebastian Koch, The Lives of Others) a "specialist" from East Germany, who turns his attention to the Jewish community. Handsomely photographed by cinematographer Adam Skiora (My Australia, JF2012), the film was the Czech entry for Best Foreign Film Oscar. In Czech with English subtitles.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 4/2/2014 (1238 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Brandon is generally safe but police need to do more to reach out to different ethnic groups.
Those common themes emerged during a town hall meeting intended to help the city's police board develop a new strategic plan.
"It was really good to have some people that talked, and discussion about,… how to reach those communities that are not here. Aboriginal communities, immigrant communities," Brandon police board member Jaime Chinchilla said.
About 40 people gathered at Crocus Plains Regional Secondary School on Tuesday evening for the public forum.
Members of such organizations as the Brandon School Division and Westman Immigrant Services were present, but there was an open invitation to members of the general public, too.
Attendees were put into groups to develop ideas for the strategic plan that will set goals for the Brandon Police Service.
The new plan will refresh one developed in 2008, and it will be the third such plan since the first in 2001-02.
Police board members and police officers helped guide group discussions.
Police board chairman Mark Frison said the idea was to give residents a say in how the Brandon Police Service might serve citizens better.
The topics touched on by groups varied widely — from cyberbullying to traffic safety and policing in the schools.
Groups, however, agreed that they believe Brandon is safe and identified the need to build relationships with different cultural groups.
Brandon Police Service Chief Ian Grant said police employees and officers will also have a chance for input during a similar session.
The strategic plan is expected to be completed by June.

Hey guys,
Wondering if anyone has attempted a speaker installation in the rear deck lid? It looks as if there are holes in the deck lid for speakers, but there are no mounting holes etc. I'd like to upgrade again from my aftermarket 4" rears and put something in the rear that is larger and better acoustically. The small 4" in the door just aren't cutting it.
Anyone installed speakers there? If so, what size and type did you go with? I'm thinking 6" coaxials, or perhaps another set of 5 1/2 or 6 components in the back as well. Mounting the small tweeters would be easy, but curious about mounting options on the rear decklid etc.
Wiring isn't a problem since I have my amps in the trunk and would actually make it easier to route wire.

37' o'day center cockpit aft birth
I realize this is an odd question but does anyone know the exact dimension of the aft birth on the o'day centercockpit 37 footer?
I don't have any around to look at so I'm going strictly from images which gives a good idea on layout and some other things but trying to get a feel for dimension is difficult.
From reviews and everything I can find to read I'm attracted to the boat but before I waste the time of a seller and my drive time going to look at some I'm just trying to collect as much info that I can first.
Btw I'm over 6' and my isn't to awful short. I have a v birth in my Catalina and we've just never been able to sleep well in the v birth arrangement just us but we plan on wintering on the boat so comfort and a good nights sleep is as high on my priority list as any other. Nothing spoils a vacation like lack of sleep. :)
Thanks in advance
Re: 37' o'day center cockpit aft birth
Hopefully someone will have the answer, but I suggest going to look and trying one on for size.
O'Day is a good boat and a CC model will give you a pretty good size aft cabin.
What Catalina do you have now?
I'm 6'1" and wife is 5'7" and we never had problems with either the V-berth or quarter berth on our C-30 and our C-34 is even better with the 34 having a private aft cabin as opposed to an open quarter berth.
My suggestion, don't limit yourself to just one model, unless you've looked at many and decided the O'Day best fits your needs.
When my wife and I were looking, we looked at many models before deciding the C-34 was the best fit for our needs and budget.
Re: 37' o'day center cockpit aft birth
looking to purchase my first cruiser
you will be ok, i am 6.4 and fit in the berth with plenty of headroom,i haven't decided on the oday yet looking at a 38i etap .the etap feels a lot roomier,and sails better,the owner wants 10000$ more
for it.so taking time to makeup my mind
Re: 37' o'day center cockpit aft birth

A gifted swordsman—plying his trade during the turbulent final days of Shogunate rule—Ryunosuke (Nakadai) kills without remorse or mercy. It is a way of life that ultimately leads to madness.

Another year, more books to read. I'm looking forward to discover new books and authors and possibly genres in the course of 2014.
If you have followed this blog for any length of time you will know that I have a tendency to make resolutions I don't keep or enter/create ambitious and complicated challenges that I fail to fulfil. There have been some I have finished successfully, e.g. the resolution to read 50 TBR books in 2013 and the 365 short stories challenge I did a few years ago. But mostly I tend to start well and then lose interest little by little until the resolution/challenge has become a millstone around my neck and I give up.
This year I am going to take it easy. Well, fairly easy. I read 60 TBR books in 2013, 10 more than I set out to finish. Consequently, this year I am going to set out to read 60 of my TBR books in the course of the year, because I know I can do it. If I end up with fewer TBR books than I set out with, it will be a bonus.
I also plan to read at least two more books for my Brontë project. Which ones? I don't know yet, but I think I might choose one reread (i.e. Jane Eyre or Wuthering Heights) and possibly Agnes Grey, which I already read one chapter of last year.
My only other - let's call it a plan, because I don't want to call it a resolution - is to read more non-fiction. I plan to do this every year (sometimes I succeed, sometimes I don't), because I enjoy non-fiction and in fact tend to give non-fiction books higher marks than I do fiction, which would seem to indicate that I like it better than fiction. My favourite genre, travelogues, is certainly non-fiction, and so is my second favourite, popular science. I have some interesting choices lined up in both genres but I do not intend to commit to finishing any particular titles.
I was toying with a possible century reading project, covering the 73 years of the 19th century from which I have not read any books (to read more about that, click here). For that purpose I gathered together a list of possible novels and then got carried away and managed to find books for every year of the 19th century that I might like to read, and for most of the 18th century as well. Most are British or American, but there is a smattering of Icelandic, French, Italian and Russian as well.
However, I am not going to commit to anything now. I may pick out the occasional book from the list in the course of the year, because there are a lot of juicy classics on it, but I'm not going to stress myself over it. I might follow Alex in Leed's example and create a book jar with only these titles.
How about you? If you have a book blog and have posted your resolutions or reading plans for 2014, please leave a link in the comment box. I would love to see what you are planning to read.

Notebook: Donovan hints at suspended players' return
Published: Tuesday, November 12, 2013 at 10:00 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, November 12, 2013 at 10:33 p.m.
MADISON, Wis. — Florida coach Billy Donovan has remained non-committal about when suspended players Dorian Finney-Smith, Damontre Harris and Scottie Wilbekin could return.
All three players sat out their second straight game when Florida played Wisconsin on Tuesday night at the Kohl Center. None of the three made the trip.
Donovan dropped a hint that some of the suspended players could return soon.
"I think after this (Wisconsin) game I can probably see where these guys are at," Donovan said. "There's things those guys need to be getting done. I don't want to come out here and project the future or say something that I've gotta sit there and take back and say, 'Well, I said they're playing or weren't playing and now they are playing,' so what's going on? What I've always tried to do is just be honest with what's the next thing in front of us."
As a result of the suspensions, the Gators played with a rotation of eight scholarship players and two walk-ons for the second straight game.
"We've been practicing without those guys," Florida sophomore guard Michael Frazier II said. "They've been on their own squad, really being on the scout team. We're prepared to go in there without those guys. We've been practicing without them so we have to go in there with what we have now and be prepared to be ready to play."
Yeguete, Carter progressing
Given UF's depth woes, senior forward Will Yeguete (knee surgery) and junior guard Eli Carter (broken leg) are both playing at less than 100 percent. But Donovan said both are continuing to make progress.
"I think Will is progressing at a better rate than Eli is," Donovan said. "Eli is the one guy that we've probably gotten into a little of a standstill, physically. He's made some pretty good growth and he's kinda leveled off right now. The hardest part for him, which I'm noticing is a major problem and puts us in harm's way from a defensive standpoint, is he has a very, very difficult time starting and stopping."
Donovan said with Yeguete, it's more of a strength issue.
"His whole strength is not back yet," Donovan said. "I thought in the game against North Florida, he was 0 for 4 and he did grab eight rebounds, but he seemed off-balanced to me a lot. Seemed like when he caught the ball he didn't have a real good base. He missed a couple layups that he rushed. He's gotta get his strength back. Those two guys are not — their injuries are healed, but they're lacking strength right now."
Walker nearing eligibility
It's not a done deal yet, but McDonald's All-American freshman forward Chris Walker is getting closer to academically qualifying at UF.
Walker has completed his course work and met target scores for NCAA eligibility, according to multiple reports. But those scores must go through the NCAA Clearinghouse and UF for approval and enrollment.
If Walker enrolls for the second semester, he would be eligible to start practice at UF on Dec. 15 and available to play Dec. 17 when the Gators face Memphis at the Jimmy V Classic in New York City.
Three expected to sign
The fall signing period for Division I men's basketball begins today. Barring anything unforeseen, Florida is expecting three players from the Class of 2014 to sign their letters of intent — 5-foot-10 point guard Chris Chiozza (Memphis, White Station), 6-5 guard Brandone Francis (Jacksonville, Arlington Country Day) and 6-8 forward Devin Robinson (Chesterfield, Va., Christchurch School).
The class is currently ranked sixth in the nation according to Scout.com, behind Kentucky, North Carolina, Ohio State, Maryland and Georgetown.
UConn to O'Dome in 2014-15
Florida is getting its longest road trip of the season out of the way early. The Gators ventured more than 2,400 miles round-trip for the return of their home-and-home series with Wisconsin.
It's also the first of four big non-conference games for the Gators this season. After Wisconsin, the Gators will play Dec. 2 at No. 19 Connecticut, Dec. 10 at the O'Connell Center against No. 6 Kansas and Dec. 17 vs. No. 13 Memphis at the Jimmy V Classic in New York City.
Donovan has made it a point to strengthen UF's non-conference schedule in recent years to generate fan interest and help prepare his team for the NCAA Tournament.
"We're pretty much open to playing anybody if it would make sense in a given year," Donovan said.
Connecticut will return to face Florida at the O'Connell Center in the 2014-15 season, completing the home-and-home series between the two schools.
"When the league play starts in January, that's always a very exciting time for fans, people to come out," Donovan said. "What we've tried to do is create a few games here in November and December that would maybe considered league games."

I'm thinking downpipe, mbc, gutted interior, and reflash.
This is a discussion on evo stock doing 12.6 on the track within the Comparison: WRX vs World forums, part of the Community - Meet other Enthusiasts category; I'm thinking downpipe, mbc, gutted interior, and reflash....
I'm thinking downpipe, mbc, gutted interior, and reflash.
Armed with a rotated Precision 6265 turbo at 35psi and a built 2.5 liter.

i go to sac raceway and if it's the evo that i might be thinking about, it's not stock. i don't believe there are any stock evo's running at that track
hey did you go this may of 22 because thats the time where my friends saw that evo doing 12.6 and the dude claiming it stock?
i told my friends that that evo wanst stock they still think that its stock plz people help me out here i wanna prove them wrong i got a bet on this topic...
isr96 since u go there did u see the damn evo?
check under the car and see if he still has the stock dp and cat.. probably not.... might have full 3inch ehhauts with the stock muffler welded on. you won't be able to tell ecu reflash... but look under the hood and look to see where the vac lines off the turbo and the actuator go... if they do go to the stock boost seleniod(sp) they will run up under the airbox to a gold looking box. if they go somewhere else... he's got boost control.
08 Audi RS4 (the retirement car)
03 SY WRX (daily)
07 Forester XT (wifes ride
07 GSX-R 1000 (when cars get boring)
I've never seen a stock EVO run mid 12's. best I've seen around here is mid 13's stock. Mid to low 12's were talking a Porsche GT3 range. Unlikely a stock EVO is running 12's.
2004 Black Forester XT
I saw a guy run a 12.9 in a stock evo at the track about a month ago. Unforantely I don't remember his 60ft times.

Film Synopsis:
The troopers of two starships have joined forces to terminate a massive bug attack at a federation outpost. Before the mission can be completed and the survivors evacuated, one ship abruptly departs and goes inexplicably dark. The remaining battle-hardened troopers race to the rescue, only to discover that the threat from the bugs is about to hit home. With the latest in CGI technology, this film from executive Producer Casper Van Dien and Director Shinji Aramaki (Appleseed) features the return of fan favorite characters Johnny Rico, Captain Ibanez and Carl Jenkins.
My Take:
A distant Federation outpost Fort Casey comes under attack by bugs. The team on the fast attack ship Alesia is assigned to help the Starship John A. Warden stationed in Fort Casey evacuate along with the survivors and bring military intelligence safely back to Earth. Carl Jenkins, now ministry of Paranormal Warfare, takes the starship on a clandestine mission before its rendezvous with the Alesia and goes missing in the nebula. Now, the battle-hardened troopers are charged with a rescue mission that may lead to a much more sinister consequence than they ever could have imagined...
My introduction to Starship Troopers was on DVD in 1998. I remember reading a review of the DVD and thought it looked like a film that would feature good audio and video quality. It has been a guilty pleasure of mine ever since. The film is based on the book by Robert A. Heinlein. I have not read it but from what I understand the book and film are quite different. Regardless I think that the movie is fine in its own right. It isn't great cinema but its lots of fun. Director Paul Verhoeven used satire to make historical, military and societal references that were pointed but not deleteriously preachy. For me the film holds up well under repeat viewings. Two sequels followed neither of which came anywhere close to the original so I didn't hold out much hope when Starship Troopers: Invasion showed up on my doorstep.
This film uses performance (motion) capture along with its CG animation. The plot isn't very deep and the characters aren't especially well drawn however having the three main characters in Johnny, Carmen, and Carl from the original story along made that slightly less of an issue. Invasion eschews melodrama and defining moments in favor of getting right down to the action. The narrative quickly sets the stage via a small core cast and a few locations before jumping into the bloodletting. I can't say that I found it to be a completely involving film but it kept me interested and I did find it to be more rewarding than the previous two films. I think that fans of the original film (as well as the franchise) may appreciate Starship Troopers: Invasion more than the average sci-fi film buff but there may just be enough here to action junkies from nodding off too.

Starship Troopers: Invasion comes to Blu-ray Disc from Sony featuring 1080p AVC encoded video that has an average bitrate of 24 Mbps and lossless DTS-HD 5.1 Master Audio sound that has an average bitrate of 2.1 Mbps.
Looking at the animated style used in this film reminded me very much of Final Fantasy, the spirits within. Characters are drawn similarly and the application of color is much the same although I found colors here to be less satisfying tonally. Images are fairly detailed with smooth but discernible texture and appreciable depth. The color palette isn't diverse and sticks primarily to darker tones with neutral grays and blacks. Blacks are more like dark gray which leaves much of the film lacking visual punch. Contrast is elevated which boosts bright scenes but not at the expense of robbing them of white detail and visibly gradational grays. This presentation is free from compression related anomalies however I did notice minor banding and light aliasing/moiré here and there. It's not overtly distracting but won't be missed by keen eyed viewers. Quite frankly I was surprised to find it in a CG presentation like this.
The DTS-HD 5.1 Master Audio surround mix fares better and makes for a decent listening experience. Dialogue is a bit forward sounding with clear intonation that occasionally bordered on sibilant. Robust dynamics coupled with the frequent surround use helps to generate a busy sound field that contains a host of sound effects. Front and rear soundstage integration is very good which enhances directional correlation. I expected to experience more of an aggressive low end with a film like this. While there are instances where bass response has appreciable solidity it never reaches room engaging levels. Be that as it may I would say that the presentation as a whole shines more often than not.
Bonus Features:
- Filmmaker commentary
- Concept art gallery - Slideshow

Final Thoughts:
Starship Troopers: Invasion is the fourth installment in the Starship Troopers film franchise. It's a CG sci-fi action adventure that puts the most positive spin on the concept since the original film which is still by far the best. It comes to Blu-ray Disc from Sony Pictures featuring lackluster high definition video, gratifying lossless surround sound and a complimentary supplemental package. If you're a fan of the series/subject material or are simply curious it's worth a rental.

Mark Udall and 12 other Democratic members of the Senate Intelligence and Judiciary committees announced today that they have sent a letter to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, expressing opposition to controversial detainee provisions included in the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) and requesting that the provisions be removed.
Udall, who is a member of both the Intelligence and Senate Armed Services committees (SASC), cast the lone vote against the detainee provisions of the NDAA during SASC's consideration of the bill. And he has made clear that while he supports the rest of the important provisions in the defense bill, the detainee provisions must be changed - as a matter of national security and civil liberties.
The provisions would allow the U.S. military to indefinitely hold in military prisons U.S. citizens accused of terrorism. In addition, the Department of Defense would be required in all cases to hold certain foreign terrorism suspects unless the Defense Secretary, in consultation with the Secretary of State and the Director of National Intelligence, issues a waiver that their release or transfer would be in the interest of national security. And the military would be required to indefinitely prohibit the transfer of Guantanamo detainees to certain countries, even if the detainee were determined to be innocent and not a threat.
Udall believes the provisions set overly rigid, unrealistic and potentially dangerous conditions that could disrupt vital counterterrorism operations, harm national security, deny civil liberties to U.S. citizens and jeopardize the prosecution of terrorists captured on American soil.
"We wholeheartedly support providing needed resources to our Armed Forces. However, we do not support provisions that would undermine our Nation's counterterrorism efforts," Udall and his colleagues wrote. "Given these significant concerns over the legislation, we request that you work to ensure that the 'Detainee Matters' that are part of Subtitle D are removed."
The provisions have serious, real-world consequences, the senators continued. Today, for example, every suspected terrorist captured in the United States has been first taken into custody by U.S. law enforcement. But the provisions would require the FBI to hand over a terrorism suspect captured in the U.S. - like Najibullah Zazi - to the military, even if the FBI is in the middle of an interrogation in which the individual is providing information about an unfolding terrorist plot. A suspected terrorist captured abroad - such as Ahmed Warsame - might have to be kept in military custody, even if potential charges against the suspect are available only in federal criminal courts and not military commissions.
"In sum, mandatory military custody is unwise and will harm our national security," the senators wrote.
In addition to Udall, the letter was signed by Intelligence Committee Chair Dianne Feinstein, Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy, and senators Richard Durbin, Ron Wyden, John Rockefeller, Christopher Coons, Al Franken, Barbara Mikulski, Bill Nelson, Mark Warner, Sheldon Whitehouse, and Kent Conrad.
The full letter to Reid follows:
The Honorable Harry Reid
Senate Majority Leader
522 Hart Senate Office Building
Washington, D.C. 20510
Dear Majority Leader Reid:
We write as Members of the Senate Judiciary Committee and the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence to express our grave concern with Subtitle D (titled "Detainee Matters") of Title X of S.1253, the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012. We support the majority of the provisions in this bill, which further national security and are of great importance to the needs of the men and women in our Armed Forces, but we cannot support the controversial detention policy provisions in S.1253.
The Executive Branch must have the flexibility to consider various options for handling terrorism cases, including the ability to prosecute terrorists for violations of U.S. law in Federal criminal courts. Yet, taken together, Sections 1031 and 1032 of Subtitle D of S.1253 are unprecedented and require more rigorous scrutiny by Congress. Section 1031 needs to be reviewed to consider whether it is consistent with the September 18, 2001, Authorization for Use of Military Force (AUMF), the law of war, and the Constitution, especially because it would authorize the indefinite detention of American citizens without charge or trial.
Section 1032 would require that certain terrorism suspects be held in the custody of the Armed Forces, which could disrupt vital counterterrorism operations. For example, if these controversial provisions are enacted, the FBI may have to hand over a terrorism suspect captured in the U.S. - like Najibullah Zazi - to the military in the middle of an interrogation, even if the individual is providing useful intelligence to the FBI about an unfolding terrorist plot. In addition, under these sections, a suspected terrorist captured abroad - such as Ahmed Warsame - may have to be kept in military custody, even if potential charges against the suspect are available only in Federal criminal courts and not military commissions. In sum, mandatory military custody is unwise and will harm our national security.
Recently, the Administration has made clear its opposition to requiring military custody for terrorism suspects by sharing the attached position paper with our offices. We concur with the Administration's view that mandatory military custody is "undue and dangerous," and that these provisions would "severely and recklessly undermine" our Nation's counterterrorism efforts.
On Section 1033, we are concerned about the potential for recidivism of Guantanamo detainees and understand that the Administration has put in place a more stringent review process for all Guantanamo detainees, which must be satisfied before a detainee may be considered for transfer. Yet, for the past two years, Congress has made it virtually impossible for anyone to be transferred out of Guantanamo - even for prosecution in U.S. Federal courts or in other countries. We believe it unwise to make permanent in law the onerous certification requirements in Section 1033. Professionals in the Intelligence Community and law enforcement need the flexibility to use all tools to effectively interrogate, incarcerate, and bring terrorists to justice.
We wholeheartedly support providing needed resources to our Armed Forces. However, we do not support provisions that would undermine our Nation's counterterrorism efforts. Given these significant concerns over the legislation, we request that you work to ensure that the "Detainee Matters" that are part of Subtitle D are removed.
Thank you very much for your attention to this matter.

Does this sound like your topic?
A convicted criminal defendant on probation can file a motion for early termination of probation in the county where the conviction occurred. The information below applies to in California, under Penal Code Section 1203.3 however similar processes may be available in your state.
Requirements/Satisfying the Court Ordered Terms of Probation
Every case is different, which is why the defendant considering filing a motion for early termination of probation should always consult with a qualified criminal defense attorney beforehand. That being said, here are some basic points:
The court may also consider positive efforts that have been made by the defendant, while on probation. This can include:
Hardships to the defendant as a result of the probation may also be considered.
Filing the Motion
The defendant should consult with a lawyer prior to filing any motion. Most counties require Court pleadings for these types of motions and a formal hearing. At the time of the hearing, the District Attorney's office will have the opportunity to oppose the Motion, and present arguments in response to the the defendant's moving papers. The Court will then make a decision as to whether or not the Motion to Terminate Probation should be granted.
Other Factors
Unless the defendant has been on probation for an extended period of time from the time of the conviction (normally, at least a year), the filing of the motion may be premature. Additionally, it is important to demonstrate to the court how the probation has impacted the defendant.
For example, many individuals experience problems such as: loss of employment positions or job advancements, inability to successfully pass background checks, restrictions on travel, loss of benefits and otherwise, as a result of being on "active probation status." These types of issues can also be taken into consideration at the time of the hearing.
Consult with an attorney today to determine whether or not you are eligible to have your probation terminated early.

The MEDPAN North project will contribute towards the efficient management of Malta's Marine Protected Areas (MPAs).This project is a continuation of the Interreg 3C MEDPAN project in which MEPA participated between 2004 and 2007. MEDPAN has brought 23 organizations from 11 countries to form a network of managers of MPAs in the Mediterranean region. Partners had the opportunity to share experiences and good practices amongst each other, suggest solutions to management problems of marine protected areas, and improve their capacity.It is the aim of MEDPAN North to utilize this network to facilitate the exchange of expertise on the management of Mediterranean MPAs in order to protect and conserve the biodiversity and ecosystems. The project partners aim to come up with common approaches to meet international, European, and national commitments in terms of MPAs networks. They also intend to improve the management efficiency of MPAs and to ensure the sustainable protection of the marine environment while at the same time promoting sustainable economic activities. The project was approved for funding under the MED programme in April 2010 and it will be implemented over a period of 3 years. The partnership is led by WWF France. The total budget allocation for MEPA is € 142,000, 15% of which will be provided by MEPA as co-financing.Locally, MEPA's participation in this project will result in the following deliverables:

Many of San Diego's soils are classified as heavy soils, meaning they tend to be on the clay side and this results in a soil that stays too wet and does not allow for good aeration to plant roots. The soil at the South Bay Botanic Garden is classified as a Diablo clay, and makes the growing of some plants almost impossible.
Hence, the "Dry Feet" Garden. In this small area are plants that typically grow in sandy or rocky soils, or grow on the sides of slopes. You will see some ceanothus, grevilleas, proteas, and other plants from the more arid parts of the world. The area is irrigated with a drip system and the plants are all growing in decomposed granite.

text: For all the mistakes Liverpool have made at the back this season, their defensive numbers are notably strong. It means Brendan Rodgers will never be too worried if injuries mount up, with the backup choices generally being accustomed to the Premier League. But once injuries are overcome, Liverpool will need to clear the decks, with Toure being one of the first names out the door.

No. 1 USC Opens Pac-12 Championships In Third
Feb. 27, 2013
Follow USC Swimming on Twitter here to catch video of some of the racing this week.
USC's 200y medley relay finished second and its 800y free relay was third as the No. 1 Trojans finished the two-event opening day of the 2013 Women's Swimming and Diving Pac-12 Championships in third on Wednesday (Feb. 27) at the King County Aquatic Center in Federal Way, Wash.
Troy has 100 points, eight back of first-place No. 4 Stanford (118) and six behind No. 6 Arizona (116). Defending champion No. 2 Cal is fourth (108) and is followed by No. 23 ASU (100), No. 14 UCLA (96), Oregon State (90) and Utah (46). Washington State was disqualified from both relays, the Utes disqualified from one.
The quartet of senior Christel Simms, junior Kasey Carlson and freshmen Kendyl Stewart and Kasia Wilk finished in 1:36.41, 0.19 behind winner Arizona (1:36.22). The Trojans headed into the final leg in second behind Cal with the Wildcats not far behind, but Arizona speedster Margo Geer was first to the wall with Wilk holding off Stanford's charging Andi Murez for second. Cal fell to fourth.
The Trojans 800y free relay team of freshman Jasmine Tosky, junior Lynette Lim, senior Haley Anderson and junior Stina Gardell turned in a season-best of 7:01.28, 2.16 off the school record set last season.
Action continues Thursday through Saturday (Feb. 28-March 2) with prelims at 11 a.m. and finals at 6 p.m. each day.

Rabbi Joyce Newmark
Teaneck, New Jersey
On the eighth and final day of the ordination ceremony Moses teaches Aaron, Aaron's sons, and the Israelites about consecration rituals. Aaron offers his own purification offering and burnt offering. He then offers a purification offering, a burnt offering, and an offering of well-being on behalf of the people. Aaron and then Moses and Aaron together bless the people. The Presence of the Lord appears and a fire comes forth and consumes the offering on the altar.
Aaron's sons Nadav and Avihu offer "alien fire†before the Lord. A fire comes forth and kills them. Moses tells Aaron and his two remaining sons that they must not engage in the normal mourning rituals, but the rest of the Israelites will mourn. The kohanim are prohibited from drinking alcohol while they are engaged in their sacred duties. Moses instructs Aaron, Eleazar, and Itamar about which of the various portions of the offerings they may eat.
God tells Moses and Aaron to teach the people about the animals they are permitted to eat. Land animals must have cloven hooves and chew their cud. Animals that have only one of these attributes, and therefore are not permitted, are listed. Sea creatures must have fins and scales. No attributes are given for birds; forbidden species are listed. Permitted insects are listed; all the rest are forbidden.
Animals whose carcasses transmit ritual impurity are listed. A general warning is given to guard against defilement and to be concerned about ritual purity.
And the swine - although it has true hoofs, with the hoofs cleft through, it does not chew the cud: it is impure for you. You shall not eat of their flesh or touch their carcasses; they are impure for you. (Leviticus 11:7-8)
Sparks for Discussion
As Rabbi Schorsch points out, the pig is considered the epitome of treif. Some Jews who do not observe kashrut, who happily eat shrimp and cheeseburgers, still will not touch bacon and ham. Why? It is because of some attribute of pigs? Novelist Harry Kemelman attributes it to concern for the purpose of an animal's life. What do you think of his argument? Why do so many of us consider a pork chop much more treif than rabbit stew?
And if any of those [swarming creatures] falls into an earthen vessel, everything inside it shall be impure and [the vessel] itself you shall break. (Leviticus 11:33)
Does the performance of mitzvot require kavannah (intention, focus, directing your heart to heaven)? Most would agree that ideally we should perform every mitzvah with a sense of awareness that we are fulfilling God's commandments. Do you think this is possible? When you do not have kavannah, is it better to wait until you feel it or to proceed with the mitzvah anyway? Does it depend on the type of mitzvah - e.g., engaging in prayer, giving tzedakah? What is the value of performing mitzvot without the proper kavannah? What is the danger? What can we learn from Rabbi Heschel's parable about the clocks?

The cult of agreeableness
Joel Osteen's disturbing inability to say that Mormonism is something other than Christian reflects a particular affliction from which our culture suffers.

Looking for the absent God

Why Mormons aren't Christians
For the last generation Mormons have tried to mainstream themselves. The popular "I am a Mormon" ad campaign is part of that effort, but it's only the most recent manifestation of a long public-relations campaign. For the last few decades the Mormon Church has presented its adherents as good-neighborly types: friendly, moral, familial. But the family-down-the-street strategy is only part of the job.The Mormons have also actively worked to make their beliefs appear within the pale of orthodox … [Read more...]
On judging Joel Osteen
It turns out that criticizing Joel Osteen ruffles feathers. Perhaps this shouldn't surprise. His congregation is more than forty-thousand strong, his sermons air worldwide, and his book sales are stratospheric. He's got more than a few fans available to take offense at someone holding his feet to the fire.In response to my piece Friday, "The insufferable Joel Osteen," several people said that I was "judging" Osteen, which is a considerable no-no.

Patched, not discarded
A soldier came upon a monk and asked him if a repentant man would be received by God. He was worried that God might reject him."Would you discard your coat if it were torn?" asked the monk."No," said the man, perhaps at that moment grasping the garment. "I'd patch it and keep wearing it.""If you would take such care of your coat," said the monk, "won't God show even greater care for his own image, which you are?"How often are we the soldier, sincere but afraid that God will … [Read more...]
Love and bear it
To grin and bear something means to tolerate it, put on a happy face and ride out the discomfort. After all, it'll be over soon enough.

more information on the "Life without Limits" contest. To refresh your memory, each day Carly will appear at a certain T-Mobile store within a certain area. She will upload a picture that should help you figure out which store she is at. You then must be the first to check-in to that store using the Foursquare app on your smartphone. Then, you must report to the contest adjudicator who will be at the store wearing a black T-Mobile shirt with the words "Official Adjudicator" on the back.
T-Mobile will be awarding 12 Grand Prizes, 1 per city within each territory. These unlimited prize packs include a free Samsung GALAXY Note II with a one-year Value Plan offering free talk, text and 5GB of monthly data along with a MOGA mobile video game controller. The value of this prize package is $1,899.99. 36 contestants will receive a runner-up prize which works out to 3 in each city. That prize is a free Samsung Galaxy S III handset, a $50 T-Mobile gift card, 1 month free T-Mobile pre-paid service and a MOGA mobile video game controller. The value of this prize package is $699.99.
By the way, in the contest rules, T-Mobile makes a point to warn contestants not to badger or antagonize Carly. If you do, you risk being disqualified from the contest.
