Sun Belt Wrap & Tourney PreviewPosted by Brian Goodman on March 5th, 2011
Daniel Spewak is the RTC correspondent for the Sun Belt Conference. With SBC tournament action set to tip on Saturday, get up to speed with RTC's preview and regular season wrap-up.
Tournament Preview
The Favorite: The Sun Belt Conference tournament is what ESPN's Championship Week is all about. There is no talk of "bubble" in the Sun Belt. The only team in the league with a chance at avoiding a 16-seed is Florida Atlantic, a team with a strong overall record and several quality wins. And even that's a long shot. The Owls are the easy favorite to cut down the nets next Tuesday, but they're not invincible. Just two weeks ago, they scored 42 points in a loss at Denver and fell at home to Louisiana-Lafayette.
On Fire: The last time Louisiana-Lafayette lost, Egypt was still an authoritarian country, the NFL was still playing and Michigan State was actuall yranked! The Rajun' Cajuns don't at all resemble the team that started 3-14, which is why the 11-game winning streak isn't necessarily a fluke. They're only one of two teams to win at FAU in league play this year, and a rematch may await next week.
The Sleeper: Sure, there's an argument to be made that North Texas and Western Kentucky are strong "sleeper" picks, because underachievers often feel like they have new life once the conference tournament starts. We're going to stray away from those teams, though, and pick Denver as the SBC sleeper. Of course, DU's been an underachiever since that undefeated start in league play, but the Pioneers are in a different situation. After losing star Nate Rohnert, Joe Scott's team wasn't expected to compete in the West this year. Denver has exceeded expectations, in spite of the poor finish, and it has the pieces to win four games in a row. As we said earlier, Denver plays one of the nation's slowest tempos and thrives when its methodical, Princeton offense can create open threes and layups. As long as the shots are falling and DU's offense is executing, this team has a shot to pull a shocker.

Just one quick thing: please refrain from getting grumpy if you thought your post should've been included, but wasn't. The people who've been kind enough to volunteer lately really don't deserve for their feedback to be "well, why wasn't I included?!" Please remember that there is no reward for doing the DD; people volunteer to do so out of the goodness of their hearts. Crapping on that doesn't really seem fair. If it were happening to me (if I had written a DD in the last month, in other words), I wouldn't care, but I'm not in any way ok with other DD authors getting hit with this feedback.
To reiterate for some of the newer GTers: there are no hard and fast overarching rules about which articles will be included in them; this is by design, as each edition of the Dump is unique to the author that signs up for it. The individuality this lends to the DD is probably the single-best thing about it. You are, as always, more than welcome to comment with a link to the article you thought should've been there on the Dump, and the author can choose to include it if they wish to do so, but they have no obligation to include it just because you hit a certain comment/recommend threshold.
It isn't a competition — it's a fun thing Couchplanted and I started for all of us. If it can't remain that fun thing, then we should just not do it at all (or at least, it should be organized by someone other than me, because I will play no part in turning it into a competition).
ETA: The point has been raised multiple times that certain people are featured and linked to more often than others in the DD. When I read this, I got curious, so I went and checked the last week. Here's my compilation of whose articles were featured in the DD for that time period, along with how many for each author:
FlossieLou - I
HermioneStranger - II
VivaciousVicious - I
Wax-Tadpole - IIII
OmarGone - II
Chritter - I
KillerMartinis - I
AcidMartini - II
JennyApples - II
Katy Del Moxie - II
ElJay42 - I
BlueJeans - I
FluterDale - I
Nonstopera - I
Genghis Khan't - II
Medusa Asudem - I
TheWL - I
Baking_Bees - I
sugarhill - I
Freesamplethief - I
MyPrettyFloralBonnet - II

whosits - II
Violetwhatsherface - I
Thank You, Agador Spartacus - I
Quashitlikeitshot - I
FishnetsFriday - I
cricketthecat - I
There-Was-A-Star-Danced - I
So here's what I'm forced to conclude from this: the idea that the same authors are always featured in the DD is not based in statistical fact. Now, admittedly, this data would be a whole lot more complete if I were to go back and check the last month (something I fully intend to do), but I expect it to bear out the similar trend: with some minor variations and infrequent exceptions, authors are not particularly featured any more than any other authors. The highest number of any author in the past week was 4, while a whopping SIXTY different people were featured just this week alone. There's also quite a lot of new GTers on that list, a fact that I was very, very happy to see.
I was actually surprised by this: I went in expecting the hypothesis of "some people are featured more than others" to be pretty accurate. Surprisingly, that is clearly not the case, as only Burt and Wax-Tadpole (which is the outlier I REALLY wasn't expecting here) even had four links — they were actually the only people with more than two. It's possible that this week is itself a statistical outlier, which is why I'm going to do more research when I get the chance, but I'm doubting that at this point.
So how do we explain the perception that such is the case, if the numbers don't bear that out? Honestly, I'm not 100% sure, but the only thing I can identify is that the same people generally DO author the dump — if you check the names for the past several months, you see a lot of the same ones. But again, I can personally attest that this is because these are the people who sign up for them.
You might get more biased results if you were looking at something like "% of articles written featured in the Daily Dump," but then again, you might not — Burt has definitely written more than 4 articles this week (and I've written more than one). I suspect that such a statistic would do little to indicate bias, but do a lot to indicate quality of writing (as I would theorize that writers like NinjaCate and LaComtesse would crush this category). As it is, we're left with data that pretty conclusively shoots holes in the theory that the DD is little more than a cool kids' club.
ETA II: Electric Boogaloo: So fine commenter Sucaji actually compiled the data for all of September:
"19. Burt
8. NYCyclist
7. WaxTadpole
6. Kirov, Medusa Asudem
5. Tyrannosaurusbataar, Ubertrout, Acidmartini, JennyApples
4. Barleychew, Kyousuke, BlueAlaskan, SugarHill, Whosits, MyPrettyFloralBonnet, NinjaCate
3. Irviniel, ThankYou, Agador Sparticus, Hello My Lover, Chritter, Ashronin, Fluterdale, Eljay, FreeSampleThief, Cumberbuttcheeks, Bingo,Carlos, Ph.Dad, RemediosVaro
2. Penabler, Katy del Moxie, FightingFishnets, PrincessFluffybutt, Rawrglicious, GoodtimesGirl, Jinxie Jade, Sorciamacnasty, VivaciousVicious, Natface, Fuckfox, Mrs Manzana, HermioneStranger, Renodakota, Babyotters, Bumblecat, ZapRowsdower, Omargone, Korra, immalittleburner, There Was a Star Danced, GhengisKhan't, Penny
1. AdamAntoinette, NotAgain, Pyrax, LittleMisSnShn, BoxMeowBox, FridayFriday, Cheerful_Exgirlfriend, TychoTronic, ThroughofLuxury, KCunning, KillerMartins, ScienceGal, KaiserisAwesome, Cassiebearawr, MiracleWhips19, OregonBeast, Aurora F, Imamonster, Ph.

I love this, because it bears out further what I've been saying. With the exception of Burt (an outlier that I think will surprise no one), nobody has an outrageous number of mentions. NYCyclist and Wax-Tadpole make sense because they tend to post A LOT, as does basically everyone with more than four mentions. The names in bold are the ones I regard as "new" GT members, btw — which makes me glad to see that about half of the most-mentioned names are in that group (I only did more than two for this).

I can name a few things that come to mind….the "Ipod Killer," attempts at Voice recognition software, their MSN web, Vista….
I know they have a few good things (at least from appearance) like the "Surface" project. Though I have never actually interacted the with device, so I can't give a personal assessment of the tool.
This whole takeover of Yahoo by Microsoft worries and annoys me. Maybe it's because MS is just again throwing their muscle around rather than focusing on creating new and innovative tools that people will like. Maybe I just don't like the idea of large, looming bodies of companies that swallow up smaller businesses and then pass them through like refuse. Didn't these Microsoft executives read the "NEW RULES" for running a corporation? I suppose you could just say that this is 'normal' behavior for a large predatory company and we should just write off these actions as expected. But as a consumer, I just want to make sure the products that I have available to me are "usable" from my perspective as a user, not a software engineer's idea of 'usable.'
Maybe it's because I've worked in a very dysfunctional corporate environment similar to Microsoft's, and I'm just assuming that most large corporations operate the same way (with very little imagination and too much politics). The are so fat and lard ridden that they have no choice but to throw their weight around like a corpulent bully, who must rely on manipulative and predatory tactics to maintain his position.
I also know that large companies use their patent attorneys to search out new and innovative processes developed by smaller companies. These patent attorneys work around the clock to develop broad patents so that once they find instances of small businesses and individuals actually developing something that works, they claim the right to the patent. Evil, huh?
I realize that History shows that Microsoft has given us products in the past that have pushed computing forward. Also, so many companies and people have become dependent on their software and tools. They're big so they have better resources for offering technical support* Gee, I'm starting to sound like that bit in the film Life of Brian where the group of Judean Peoples front (or Peoples's Front of Judea) asks…. "What have the Romans done for us?!" I just take issue with the way Microsoft does business, and before anyone points out that their behavior as a company is natural for their size and position, it seems that their way of doing business doesn't meet everyone's (the end users) needs. Therefore it's in all of our interests to have other companies large and small who can fill these niches for us.
But when it comes to this recent takeover, I really can't see them improving tools like the photo sharing tool Flickr. Also, having had a great deal of experience using Microsoft tools like MS Project and Sharepoint. I really don't get the feeling that Microsoft really has a cultural appreciation of usability. Maybe Microsoft also suffers from the innovation drain, or their execution of new products just stinks. I could be wrong, but my intuition tells me that companies who are innovative and dynamic usually draw the right types of people who can think, create and implement dynamically. Maybe the combination of the doldrum suburban location and the restrictive politics and culture hurts some companies who can't draw ideal teams of innovators and star project developers, I don't know.
- Robert Scoble isn't cool with Micrsoft
- Read Scoble's post-I love his suggestion to to post Ballmer's Stanford speech up in the Google halls to motivate every Google employee push the company forward
- When you type "Microsoft Sucks" into Google you get 1,940,000 results.
*Though one might argue with a well designed product you need less support.
What have the Romans done for us?

|Anthem Country Club in Henderson, Nevada
|Anthem Country Club in Henderson, Nevada
To those of you who are not so much into the minimalist contemporary style, we present this lovely estate in Anthem Country Club in Henderson, Nevada. Judging by its interior design, you might be tempted to assume it is an old heritage $4 Million House, but it was actually built in 2003.
With five bedrooms, seven bathrooms, formal living room and dining room, a sweeping staircase, gourmet kitchen with an island breakfast bar and two master suites, the mansion is really impressive in dimensions. But the list is not complete yet: we must also mention the breakfast room with its buffet, the home theater, the wine cellar, the sauna, the game room with custom bar and the home office.

A Super Mario Summary
A Super Mario Summary was my entry for the 23rd Ludum Dare 48 hour game development challenge. The theme was Tiny World and I decided to recreate every single world from the original Super Mario Brothers as a single screen puzzle level. The result is a tricky mix of platforming, reflexes, and timing.
To complete a level you only need to reach the flagpole, but try to reach the top and get all the coins for maximum rating! Once you get all coins and a three star flag on each level, a whole new challenge awaits...
Click the game to focus and then hit space to play. Good luck and have fun!
Not sure if you actually care, but there's a bug in the second level. On the elevating platfrom, if you press space repeatedly, you fly.
Additionally, you should be able to fall from the platform when it scrolls off the top of the screen, and land on the platform as it emerges from the bottom. Unfortunately, the avatar passes through the platform and dies.
Inspired. Fantastic. Incredible. The *only* tweak I'd make (because it's otherwise perfect) is to make the turn around time when failing faster. Perhaps reseting the level almost instantly, instead of re-running the level intro screen? Otherwise, perfection. Really, really nice.
First of all – FANTASTIC game!
Seriously, I am nostalg'ing like a madman at it and you did a fantastic job at compressing each of the levels into one screen while making sure they were easy to recognize. (also, it's very pretty)
That said, I've notice a bug on underwater areas where, occasionally, after I reach the flag, my guy sort of drops to the block at the bottom and proceeds to run at it constantly, unable to reach the pipe, until I restart.
Good stuff.
However, I encountered similar issue as "box boy" with a freeze after hitting the bottom of the flagpole. It was not on an underwater level, just a very failed jump.
Outside of Ludum Dare, the game stands on its own. Brilliantly done. And the fact you did it in 48 hours? Mind-blowing. (P.S. Do yourself a favor and don't read the Kotaku comments… I could feel myself growing stupider as I read each one.)
This has literally made my day 1000 times over. You sir are a gentlemen of note and my new hero, hats off to you ^_^
I don't think there are words to describe just how amazing this is and what an incredible job you did.
Keep it up, keen to check out your other work :>
I don't see any game when I click on the link. Only text.
Your game was a blast! I just 100%'d it, and had all kinds of fun getting there. What a great game for only 48 hours of work! Color me impressed.
I can't move… i'm playing with a laptop, can that be the problem? you move with the arrow keys i'm guessing…
the game look really good, shame i can play it in my laptop
this was awesome! it's amazing how much of an individual identity this little game has despite it being summarized levels from a Super Mario game. i'll make sure i'll sare it with others
Can you add a save option? I'm trying to work on my time trials but it sucks I have to start over every time FF crashes (not because of you)
Any lists for records? My total time (superstar on all levels) is down to 328.83s.
Great game man. Please make more!!
Enjoyed the levels created, grasp of the game of simplicity one screen ending of mario games. Will be coming back to play to finish all the levels.
Incredible Game!
Awesome game, i just got 336.86 and i still have 6 levels to get max rank
no me gusto mucho porque los niveles son muy cortos y se termina muy rapido el juego
Could you add a mute button? It can't be that hard, and the sound can get a little annoying.
Amazing game !
But I wonder, how do you choose the medals time ? And how do you know that these times are possible ? Have you scored all the awesome times ?
Such a hard Mario game I've ever layed
i love this game but a bit odd
I love this game i am now a big fan
משחק מדהים וסיימתי את הכל!!!!!!! אין עלי וכולכם לוזרים!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great game, although I hate the timing required for bullet bills, goombas and the 'bungee' high jumps. Could never get it right. Ended up 'beating' the game though. Well made for the most part.
having a hard time getting thru 3-4 lol. that fireball upo at the top keeps killing me, and im sure ill have a hard time getting past bowser's debonair blond haired brother
I really enjoyed the game! I'm also having a hard time getting through 3-4, I must just not be clever enough!
Thanks for sharing!
This so called game sucks big time
Was this game made with Flixel? Very clever concept, by the way.
Whoops, I missed the intro the first time. Sorry Pixelizer, got it haha.
This is a pretty interesting take on the whole super mario experience. I think it is kinda like taking supermario through a distillery and ending up with the sheer core of the whole thing.
I say well done.

Raising my hand to keep you company. I suck moose turd at meat. The most expensive part and I blow it all the time.
We just had this sauerbraten last night. You can't go wrong. I even brine two of them at once and yesterday I put the one I was cooking in a 225 degree oven at 1pm and told the oven to turn off at 6. My husband came home and we ate at 8. It was still moist and delicious.
It looks like a lot of ingredients but you do the brine one day and roasting is the simplest thing you'll ever do. The gravy is killer I like it with a couple generous spoons of sour cream stirred in. PM me if you need juniper berries.
Try it with this braised red cabbage:
I peel and chop a Granny Smith apple and saute it with the onions.
Another super easy and tasty thing is this pot roast that makes it's own gravy:
No Peek Beef
Serving Size: 4
3 pound stew beef or a 3 pound piece of chuck or round
1 medium-sized onion, coarsely chopped
1 package onion soup mix, or 6 tablespoons homemade mix
2 can cream of mushroom soup
20 ounce club soda, or to cover
Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
Spread meat in bottom of heavy casserole with a tight-fitting lid. Sprinkle soup mix over top. Spoon on soup (do not dilute). Pour club soda over all. Cover and bake for 2 1/2 hours.
DO NOT PEEK WHILE BAKING!!! ...in case you missed the title. ;>
Notes: Easy and really very tasty.
Serve with buttered noodles or rice.
Halved mushrooms would be a nice addition
Frozen peas can be tossed on for color when it comes from the oven. Replace the lid and 10 minutes of resting is enough to warm them.
I know! It's got processed foods. I'm suitably humiliated but it's so good and easy and reliable that I forgive myself. You wouldn't even want to know about my husband's favorite casserole of all time and space...

Possibly even multi-tasking! I saw that and made a mental note to use it... a lot!! Tho' I may get some strange looks as here it may sound more like a dirty confession than anything!
Still I'd pay good money to see David blowing (but not sucking and definitely NOT inhaling) coffee through his nose. What's your next trick David... er, I mean after cleaning the monitor! Ooh, ooh can you balance a dog on your nose while blowing coffee out of said nose?!!
Ok, I'll go now.

Haha, though this thread is reeaal close to making me lose my appetite altogether, I'd like to go back to the original post-- titled "Fresh meat".
I don't know if the poster was referring to him/herself as a new member, or asking advice about cooking the stuff!
Rainey, at my house "No Peek Beef" is called "Stay Abed Stew"--very similar, and yes, delicious.
What has helped me most with meat cooking is discovering
, for poultry and pork, and discovering braising--made effortless by heavy covered pots like Le Creuset-- (just ONE of many brands, but a good one)
I'm hoping everyone will post one wonderful recipe for a holiday dish. Something you know is a winner/keeper--put it in the "Recipe Box" thread.

This article provides a case study regarding how MaxDiff and Cluster Ensemble analysis can be used to segment a population. Sawtooth Software conducted an online study among US respondents just prior to the 2008 presidential election between John McCain and Barack Obama. The 2008 Political Landscape study measured what policy positions would make people most and least want to vote for a US presidential candidate. We studied 25 different policy positions, including such items as:
- Ensure the long-term health of Social Security
- Bring the troops home from Iraq
- Restrict carbon emissions to reduce global warming
- Reduce the federal deficit
We used MaxDiff (best-worst) scaling to measure the influence of these items on respondents' preference for a presidential candidate. And, of course, Democrats and Republicans have different priorities when it comes to policies and positions.
Following estimation of individual-level scores from MaxDiff, we used our CCEA (Convergent Cluster & Ensemble Analysis) software to find segments of respondents that had similar preferences.

At just two days into the fourth quarter, we're already up 15% on the S&P 500 and well over 20% on the NASDAQ year to date. We've had quite an impressive run so far this year despite the tensions at home and abroad that had some investors wary.
Now, as I look ahead to the final few months of the year, I'd like to map out the market activity I see ahead and tell you how you can position your portfolio to benefit of the ups and downs we'll see before the year is up.
Let's start with the "downs" I see ahead. With all the ground the market has gained this year, I want you to be prepared for a short-term pullback in the coming weeks. After such prolonged forward momentum in the markets, it's natural for stocks to come down a bit.
So, while I do expect us to experience some selling, it's nothing to worry about. Even if we do see a pullback of 5% to 8%, we're still in great shape to finish the year up 15% on the S&P.
While I definitely want you to be ready for a pullback in the next few weeks, I don't see the downside pressure lasting into 2013. I know you've heard a lot of negative talk about the fiscal cliff, and we discussed my thoughts on this in-depth last week, but I am still bullish on market activity in the final weeks of the year and into 2013.
For one, keep in mind that presidential elections are historically good for stocks. So while we're likely to see stocks trend downward in the near-term, momentum following the election in November could return enthusiasm to the market into the final few weeks of the year. And December also happens to be the busiest shopping season as well as a time when bankers speed up mergers and acquisitions. Added consumer spending and hot corporate deals both make great fuel for the fire and should serve to spur buying pressure come year-end.
On a very near-term basis, I'm also watching Friday's U.S. employment report to see if we do get the 120,000 jobs added that analysts expect. With excitement from the Federal Reserve's QE3 announcement still lingering below the surface, even a slight bump to the monthly jobs count could rally shares.
But even if the report does impact the market, I see this being a short-term blip only. What I really want you to focus on right now is getting into the right stocks that will weather any volatility ahead and pop with the market as we close out the year.
So let's take a look at two stocks that still have plenty of room to run. I like these names because they are in niche sectors and will do well in pullbacks.
Go where the money goes:
That's the key for my first pick, CableVision Systems (NYSE:CVC). Some of you might not give this stock a second look because of the company's debt, but I see opportunity here as dollars pour into cable companies this election season, and CVC plans to address its debt by offering $500 million in 10-year senior notes.
Long-term, I'm looking at CableVision because it's a great takeover target from bigger competitors in the cable segment, which is already a hot sector for consolidation. As one of the nation's leading cable companies, CVC has exposure to desirable territories like the New York metro area.
It also recently inked a multi-year deal to carry NFL Network and the NFL RedZone channel. I wouldn't be surprised to see a merger in CableVision's future, and in the meantime investors can enjoy some income through the stock's +3% dividend yield.
Take the money
Speaking of income, you can't go wrong with True Religion Apparel (NASDAQ:TRLG), a trendy retailer that boasts a 3.85% dividend yield. It's a solid buy for investors looking to get some income, and the stock has plenty of growth potential in the near- and long-term.
TRLG hit some bumps earlier in the year when it was overly aggressive with the pace of change for its spring/summer season, but I like what the company has since done to get back on track. TRLG has built a strong foundation for both women and men, and management's new, balanced approach between core styles that are familiar and liked by customers, in addition to new fashions, is being well received by customers.
And unlike some of its competitors, the brand has a "hip" global appeal that will help it succeed in its international expansion efforts.
Finally, at current levels near $20, the likelihood that small-cap stocks will perform better in the final quarter of the year (they've underperformed large caps in recent run-up) is high, and I look for a strong finish with this name toward year-end.
In the meantime, take the money.

While you're shopping for Christmas gifts this year, scam artists are shopping for you.
"The cybercriminals think it's bonus time for them," said Jeff Debrosse with ESET Virus Protection.
Debrosse said that as online traffic increases around the holidays, thieves troll the web looking for victims.
U.S. & World
"They're trying to mix in their illicit businesses with the legitimate business," said Debrosse.
Here are our Five Tips for Cyber Monday from ESET:
1. Beware of unsolicited e-mails offering special deals and promotions. They are often ploys to get credit card and other personal information. If you don't know the people behind the e-mail, delete it.
2. Shop at reputable websites. If you don't know the site, and your friends don't know the site, you may want to skip it. This is not the time to type your credit card information on a website you've never heard of just to save money on an iPad or cell phone. Thieves can make up phony sites to steal your money.
3. Use a credit card with a low limit. It might be worth getting a credit or debit card only for online shopping. Make sure it has a low credit limit so you are less exposed to criminals.
4. Don't click on the link. Any e-mail that comes with a link could be sending you to trouble. It may look like it's coming from your bank but don't you believe it. It's more likely that it's a phishing scam trying to get your financial information. You're better off going directly to your bank and searching the website for information.
5. Look for encrypted websites. Before you pay for an item, make sure the address in the browser starts with "https" and not just "http". The "https" encrypts the information such as credit card numbers.
While this is valuable information for the holidays, it's actually a best practice for safe shopping year around.

I laughed so hard when I read this and I just had to share it
1. Guys hate sluts even though they have sex with them!
2. "Hey, are you busy?" or "Are you doing something?" ~ two phrases guys open with to stop from stammering on the phone.
3. Guys may be flirting around all day but before they go to sleep, they always think about the girl they truly care about.
4. Before they call, guys try to plan out a little about what they're going to say so there aren't awkward pauses, but once he's on the phone he forgets it all and makes it up as he goes.
5. Guys go crazy over a girl's smile when they're attracted to them
6. Guys will do anything just to get you to notice him.
7. Guys hate it when you talk about your ex-boyfriend or ex love-interest. Unless they're going for the let-her-complain-to-you-and-then-have-her-realize-how-wonderful-and-nice-you-are method.
8. A guy who likes you wants to be the only guy you talk to.
9. Boyfriends need to be reassured often that they're still loved.
10. Don't talk about your guy friends to your boyfriend.
11. Guys get jealous easily.
12. Guys are more emotional than they'd like people to think.
13. Giving a guy a hanging message like "You know what?!..uh...never mind.." would make him jump to a conclusion that is far from what you are thinking. And he'll assume he did something wrong and he'll obsess about it trying to figure it out.
14. Guys are good flatterers when courting but they usually stammer when they talk to a girl they really like.
15. Guys hate asking parents for money to buy girls presents. So they come up with ideas like saving their lunch money for a week. But it never works because guys are always hungry so they end up asking the parents for money anyway.
16. Girls are guys' weaknesses.
17. Guys are very open about themselves.
18. It's good to test a guy first before you trust him. But don't let him wait too long.
19. Your best friend, whom your boyfriend seeks help from about his problems with you may end up being admired by your boyfriend.
20. If a guy tells you about his problems, he just needs someone to listen to him. You don't need to give advice.
21. A usual act that proves that the guy likes you is when he teases you.
22. Guys love you more than you love them if they are serious in your relationships.
23. Guys will brag about anything.
24. Guys use words like hot or cute to describe girls. We rarely use beautiful. If a guy uses that, he likes you a whole hell of a lot.
25. Guys think WAY too much. One small thing a girl does, even if she doesn't notice it can make the guy think about it for hours, trying to figure out what it meant.
26. Guys seek for advice from girls not other guys. Because most guys think alike, so if one guy's confused, then we're all confused.
27. Any guy could write out a rulebook or advice book for flirting, but no guy can write out a book about relationships.
28. Try to be as straightforward as possible.
29. A guy has to experience rejection, because if he's
too-good-never-been-busted, never been in love and hurt, he won't be mature and grown up.
30. If the guy does something stupid in front of the girl, he will think about it for the next couple days or until the next time he spends time with the girl.
31. No matter how much guys talk about asses and boobs, personality is key.
32. Guys learn from experience not from the romance books that girls read and take as their basis of experience.
33. Guys worry about the thin line between being compassionate and being whipped.
34. If a guy looks unusually calm and laid back, he's probably faking it and is spazzing inside.
35. When a guy says he is going crazy about the girl, he really is. Guys rarely say that.
36. When a guy asks you to leave him alone, he's just actually saying, "Please come and listen to me."
37. Guys don't really have final decisions.
38. If a guy starts to talk seriously, listen to him. It doesn't happen that often, so when it does, you know something's up.
39. If your best guy friend seems to avoid you or is never around when you're with your boyfriend, he's probably jealous and likes you.
40. When a guy looks at you for longer than a second, he's definitely thinking something.
41. Guys like femininity not feebleness.
42. Guys don't like girls who punch harder than they do.
43. A guy has more problems than you can see with your naked eyes.
44. Don't be a snob. Guys can be intimidated and give up easily.
45. Everything in moderation. Put on makeup, wear perfume. Just not too much.
46. Guys talk about girls more than girls talk about guys.
47. Guys hate rejection, but they hate being led on even more.
48. Guys really think that girls are strange and have unpredictable decisions and are MAD confusing but somehow are drawn even more to them.
49. A guy would give his left nut to be able to read a girl's mind for a day.
50. No guy can handle all his problems on his own. He's just too stubborn to admit it.
51. Not all guys are assholes. Just because ONE is a jackass doesn't mean he represents ALL of us.
52. We don't like girls who are too skinny.
53. We love it when girls talk about there ass.
54. Always make sure you know what kind of stuff your getting into before making out with a guy , like whether it's a one time deal or not .
55. Believe it or not shy guys are the most easiest to talk to. It may not seem right but trust me they will start opening up like books after you just ask them questions about their lives and unnoticeable tell them about yours.
56. When a guy hits your butt it means that he wants you sexually.
57. Even if they refuse it all guys are ticklish on the ribs.
58. Guys love neck rubs and if he lets you keep doing it, it means that he really likes you or his neck really hurts.
59. Guys will test the waters to see how far they can get with you. Even if he doesn't intend to it will happen. Know how far it is you want to let him go and he will respect that after you let him know a couple times.
60. When a guy sacrifices his sleep and health just to be with you, he really likes you and wants to be with you as much as possible.
it's so true too!!!! (I think)

On Tuesday evening, news broke of another setback in John Galliano's mounting comeback. Last month it was announced that the disgraced designer, who's 2011 anti-Semitic rant had him fired from the helm of Christian Dior as well as his own namesake label, would teach a master class series at Parsons: The New School for Design called "Show Me Emotion." Now, Parsons has cancelled the three-day course.
Confirming the news to The Daily Beast on Wednesday morning, a spokesperson for Parsons issued the following statement: "An important element of the planned workshop with John Galliano was a candid conversation about the connection between his professional work and his actions in the world at large. Unfortunately, we could not reach a consensus with Mr. Galliano on the conditions of this conversation, and the program could not move forward."
Students at Parsons received word of Galliano's retracted academic appointment on Tuesday via an internal email written by New School president Daid E. Van Zandt. That email, which a student quickly leaked to industry news blog Fashionista, delves into greater detail about Parsons' reasons for dropping the course. Zandt writes: "a critical element of a New School education is the connection between creative and intellection invention and an individual's actions in the world at large. While we understand the pressures that Mr. Galliano faces, we expected to invite students, faculty and staff to ask Mr. Galliano how is trajectory as a designer was changed by his offensive remarks and to learn from that example. We continue to believe there is room at Parsons to explore Mr. Galliano's efforts to make amends for his actions…it is certain this would not have been an easy or comfortable conversation but our mission is to provide uncommon learning opportunities…"
News of Galliano's academic appointment did not come without controversy. Shortly after the "Show Me Emotion" course was announced to students, a petition against the course was filed on Change.org. Published anonymously, its author wrote: "Hiring someone who has made such horrific comments shows that the school values Galliano over their entire Jewish community…We do not want money from our tuition going to this kind of person. We feel like we've been slapped in the face by our school."
It's unknown if the petition, which has accrued over 2,100 signatures since April 23, was the cause of Parsons' disagreements with Galliano. Or if it influenced the school's decision to drop his course. Regardless, it is quietly referenced in Zandt's address to students. "Over the last several weeks, many members of the university community wrote to express their views about this visit. Regardless of your opinion, you remind us all that it is our commitment to debate, and our willingness to support the possibility of change, that makes Parsons and The New School such an extraordinary place to learn."
A rep for Galliano didn't respond immediately to our request for comment.

According to The Telegraph, the Church of Scientology is planning to launch a religious broadcasting center to promote its teachings over TV, radio and the internet, all based in a studio complex purchased last year.
The newspaper reports that the broadcasting centre will be located near the church's West Coast headquarters in Hollywood, and is expected to occupy the the nearly five-acre studio property the church bought last year from Los Angeles public TV station KCET for $42 (£27) million. Speaking to the Telegraph, Karin Pouw, a spokeswoman for Church of Scientology International, explained:
"The church plans to establish a central media hub for our growing world network of churches and to move into the production of religious television and radio broadcasting."
Previously the organisation has relied on less technological means of disseminating its, umm, teachings, such as book and pamphlets. With celebrities like Tom Cruise and John Travolta lurking in the background, who knows what this venture could turn into. The Telegraph goes on to speculate that the studio could both provide a dedicated cable channel, as well as buy time on local TV stations to pump out programming to the common people.
It goes without saying that the world could almost certainly do without increased exposure to the religion's teachings—but it looks like we might not get a choice. [Telegraph]

HOUZE® Advanced Building Science Inc., an innovative technology commercialization company integrating disruptive technologies into real estate developments and buildings, has announced the launch of the first-of-its-kind affordable, zero-energy homes in the United States.
"HOUZE is completely revolutionizing the way homes are built, how they consume and generate energy and the overall total cost of ownership," said David Goswick, CEO, HOUZE. "By combining durable, efficient building materials with innovative energy management systems and advanced energy-saving, power-generating and storing technologies, we are comprehensively redefining the "American Dream".
Built using next-generation building systems, materials and technologies, HOUZE zero-energy homes are fundamentally different from the traditional American home. Their innovative building envelope performs like a thermos, ensuring the homes meet the highest energy efficiency standards while creating a safer, stronger structure.
The homes are the first in America to be powered by the HOUZE Power Cell™ that produces both on-site electricity and thermal heat from 100 percent natural gas. Unlike traditional renewable energy technologies which are intermittent, the natural gas power cell provides reliable power 24/7. Roughly the size of a traditional air conditioning unit, the power cell generates significantly more energy than the home will consume. This surplus is then stored in back-up batteries and/or fed back to the electricity grid, providing increased energy security for the homeowner.
Each HOUZE home is tested and rated for its energy generation and consumption by the Home Energy Rating System (HERS). Typical American homes have a HERS rating of 130 and Energy Star® requires a rating of 85. HOUZE zero-energy homes currently have a HERS rating of 44, based on the structure alone. With the addition of the micro-cogeneration power cell and advanced heating and cooling technologies, HOUZE homes will achieve a HERS rating of 0.
These building, energy and technology advancements lead to discounts and incentives from leading mortgage and insurance companies, including reduced mortgage rates and down payment assistance, as well as significant insurance discounts ranging from 40 to 70 percent. In addition to third-party incentives, HOUZE will provide homeowners with a one-of-a-kind Zero Energy Warranty™ guaranteeing no electric or gas payments for the first 10 years of home ownership.
HOUZE zero-energy homes are currently available in Houston, TX, the energy capital of the world. Through public/private partnerships across America, HOUZE will team up with local builders to expand the zero-energy housing program to 35 markets over the next two years. In addition to new zero energy homes across the U.S., HOUZE is currently working on zero-energy solutions for churches, schools and small business buildings.
Numerous leaders in the building, technology and energy industries are showing their support for HOUZE, resulting in an impressive coalition of strategic brands. Through the dedication of these companies, including AT&T, Carrier, CHASE, James Hardie, Pella, Murff Turff, and the American Gas Association, HOUZE is accelerating the transformation of the residential and commercial building industry from being one of the largest consumers of energy to zero energy buildings that consume less energy, efficiently produce on-site energy and leave a near zero carbon footprint on the environment.
AT&T Digital Lifesm
AT&T Digital Life is a wireless-based home security and automation service that will enable users to access, monitor, and effortlessly control devices in their home remotely using a smartphone, tablet or PC. With around-the-clock professionally monitored home security, customizable energy, video, door and water automation solutions, and a game-changing, intuitive user app, AT&T Digital Life will make it easy to stay connected to home and protect what matters most. HOUZE homes will be among the first in North America to feature AT&T Digital Life.
"We're looking forward to incorporating our AT&T Digital Life services into the HOUZE program," said Kevin Petersen, senior vice president, AT&T Digital Life. "The alliance with HOUZE and Digital Life, our new home security and automation platform, is the first of its kind. HOUZE is introducing advanced zero-energy homes, and we're taking the technology of the homes to the next level."
American Gas Association
AGA represents more than 200 local energy companies that deliver clean natural gas throughout the United States. There are more than 71 million residential, commercial and industrial natural gas customers in the U.S., of which 92 percent — more than 65 million customers — receive their gas from AGA members. Today, natural gas meets almost one-fourth of the United States' energy needs.
"Our nation has a clean, abundant and affordable natural gas resource base that will play a significant part in our nation's energy future. We are pleased to see the leadership and vision of David Goswick in using this foundation fuel as the core energy source in the HOUZE project, and we are eager to work with HOUZE to monitor the performance of the natural gas technologies installed in the these home," said Rick Murphy, managing director for sustainable growth for AGA. "Initiatives that promote greater use of natural gas--like we see with HOUZE––will help increase the number of energy efficient homes across the country and help to address some of our nation's environmental challenges. We are excited to continue to work with David and on this innovative initiative."

[First published August 28, 2005] I came across an article,"Why Truman Dropped the Bomb" by Richard B. Frank (an historian of World War II, author of Downfall: The End of the Imperial Japanese Empire) appearing in The Weekly Standard. Frank provides new intelligence (the complete "Magic" intercepts released in 1995 of Japanese communication at the highest levels) and information, and a new slant on the dropping of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki A-bombs that I had not considered.
I should note that Frank believes that dropping the bombs were not only a good decision, but necessitated by what we have now come to understand was the situation at the end of July in 1945 (the Hiroshima bomb was dropped on August 6).
What do we now know we didn't know or know well a decade or more ago?
1. The Japanese knew we were planning to invade Kyushu, were building up their forces to a make an invasion very difficult, if not impossible, and we knew that from our intercepts of their high and low level communications.
2. Aware of this, and believing that such an invasion would be too costly to be sustainable by the American people, the commander in chief of the U.S. Fleet Admiral King, and Pacific Fleet Admiral Nimitz opposed the invasion and when the final decision had to be made, the Navy would have fought for a blockade and bombardment of the Japanese Islands instead. Frank writes that the invasion "had become unthinkable." So much for justifying the A-bombing by the cost in lives of such an invasion.
3. While the Japanese inner Cabinet did authorize peace feelers in Moscow, their bottom line strictly adhered to until after Nagasaki, was not only the continuation of the prerogatives of the Emperor, but also of the old fascist order. So, if we had moderated our unconditional surrender demand to allow for the continuation of the emperor, it would not have made any difference. So much for peace feelers.
4. While the dropping of the A-bombs was by all standards of warfare, including the Hague and Geneva Conventions, a war crime and democide in my terms, on balance I have to consider that daily throughout Asia and the Pacific, the Japanese military were murdering vast numbers of civilians and POWs. The American historian Robert Newman put the death toll at about 400,000 Asians a month. By my calculations, this is not too far off, since I tally a total Japanese democide during the war of 5.9 million (Calculated here. See the resulting table in the uper right). In honesty, in considering the morality of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, I had completely forgotten about the ongoing Japanese democide.
5. Whether we invaded or not, we can't ignore Stalin. He entered the war against Japan on August 9. Had we not used the A-bombs and had the Japanese inner cabinet and emperor continued to fight to the end, he would have taken all of Korea, and even perhaps undertaken an invasion of Japan's northern Island of Hokkaido of western Honshu (Stalin had no compunction about squandering millions of lives). I leave to your imagination what a Korea ruled totally by Stalin and his having a foothold in Japan would have meant for the post-war world, human lives, and Japanese democracy.
So, have I changed my view? By definition and how I have labeled similar actions by the Soviets, Nazis, and Japanese military, Hiroshima and Nagasaki were democide. I can't change that unless I totally rewrite and recalculate all I've done on democide. But morally, is it right to murder hundreds of thousands to save the lives of even more? Or, to save nations (South Korea and Japan) from Stalin's democidal horrors?
I have to tell you, recognizing these arguments is painful for me. For the last two-decades, I have consistently opposed any democide as a crime against humanity and immoral. Now, the above arguments inexorably force me to accept that massive democide can be necessary to prevent even greater democide (Japanese democide was not speculative, but known, and ongoing; nor was what Stalin did in occupied countries speculative), and thus a moral tradeoff. It is the same for the assassination (an international crime) I recommend of Kim Jung Il, or my approval of torture (an international crime also) when it would save many lives.
Sometimes I envy those on the far left or right. They live in a world of red and blue absolutes, and will not be bothered by conditionals and qualifications; and do not understand that nature, life, and ethics are a balance.
Link of Note
"ENDING THE PACIFIC WAR: HISTORY AND FANTASY" (3/25/01) By Richard B. Frank
Frank says:
The decisions made by President Truman and his subordinates to add nuclear weapons to the campaign of blockade and bombardment cost the lives of between 100,000 and 200,000 Japanese at Hiroshima and Nagasaki, on top of the many tens of thousands of others who died in the incendiary raids or due to the ultimate effects of the blockade. Those Japanese noncombatants, however, held no stronger right not to be slaughtered than the vast numbers of Chinese and other Asian noncombatants dying daily, the Japanese noncombatants on the Asian continent dead or forever missing in Soviet captivity, or the Japanese noncombatants (not to mention Allied prisoners-of-war and civilian internees) who would have perished of starvation and disease in the final agony of the blockade. Thus, alternatives to the atomic bombs carried no guarantee as to when they would end the war and a far higher price in human death and suffering.
Finally, the deaths actually incurred in ending the war were not gratuitous. American goals were not simply victory but peace. Had American leaders in 1945 been assured that Japan and America would pass two generations in tranquility and still look forward with no prospect of future conflict, they would have believed their hard choices had been vindicated- -and so should we.

Click here first… to get in the mood.
Jim sent me another e-mail.
Okay… You can stop the music…
Jim had sent me the info he had about his wife's ancestors.
Her mother was one of the daughters of Joseph Ménard and Laura Gendreau. Laura Gendreau's parents were Jean-Baptiste Gendreau and Louise Renaud.
Louise Renaud is the sister of Cora Renaud the mother of Joseph Phaneuf, the man we see here beside Bernadette Hogue.
Joseph Phaneuf and Bernadette Hogue
Remember I told you I believe they got married in 1910…
One of my readers noticed that some of the men in the picture had flowers pinned to their coat.
So it made sense that the picture taken in Marlborough in 1910 was about a wedding.
The woman is Clémentine Bélisle (née Hogue) with her husband Wilfrid Bélisle. The young man beside him has his hand on his shoulder. I surmize he is his son. The young man beside Clémentine seems to be also her son. They all came down from Québec for a wedding.
Then I looked closely and saw wedding rings…
"I hope they live happily ever after…"
"I hope you're right and she's right…"
Next time, we will go back in time in a little village in Massachusetts.

Hello all,
In order to protect your cards and clintz, if your account is used by someone else without your consent because of a phishing or any other hacking technique, we implement today a new protection system.
How does this system work and what will it change during a sale or a secured trade?
When the transaction has more or less the same value as in the Market (99% of the cases), it doesn't change anything.
But if the transaction value is different (example: DJ Korr for 50 clintz) then, the new system sends a confirmation email to the «disadvantaged» player.
An email will be sent to the email address linked to your account.
If your account is not confirmed, you will have to confirm it to be able to make the trade or the sale.
When it's done, your preference page much show this:
In the email you will receive, a link will send you on a page where you'll be able to accept or refuse the transaction.
Once the transaction is validated, the trade or the sale can continue, you will have to complete it again yourself.
Good to know: after agreeing to be «disadvantaged» during a transaction with a player, you won't need to confirm transactions with this same player during one month.

Good update. It will make stealing cards harder and if you want to give away a few cards e.c.t you only have to accept once.
Now all we need is a way to lend cards to friends whilst keeping them joined to your account and thats all the safe updates ive fought of.

Now make it where unevolved cards can't be sold. Then pfullers will never beat me at #1 in xp right?

Good feature
only question is: what's the cutoff "alert" rate? 50% of market price? 75%? 35%?
{RW}chaoswolf - Wednesday 24/10/2012, 09:23
Imperator - Reissende Woelfe
It s really no good idea
if you lend cards often
make presents
create events and lotto s
its sensless like it is now
at least people should have the choice to decide if they want to use this or not
playing ur is no fun like this!!!
@chaoswolf: emm, I gift / event / loan heavily and I love it. Unlike last time it works, and email is instant. One click to auhorise for a month vs someone hacking and ripping your collection.... Or are you saying one click for a player (its not one per card) is too awkward when you'll be on a browser anyway?
I'll take the one click option please (says the man that loaned 14 rescue 10k+ including both crs last night to a guildie and has cards like Tessa, Vickie and Lamar to lose)

First Look: All The Cocktails at The Marrow, NYC
Kin Shop and Perilla chef Harold Dieterle's* new German/Italian, meat-centric neighborhood restaurant The Marrow opened at the end of December. We caught up with the chef and with his beverage director, Jill Roberts.
*Are we finally allowed to stop introducing him as "Top Chef Season 1 winner Harold Dieterle"?
"The customer response to our wine program has been great," says Roberts, a veteran of the beverage world who before The Marrow, was the wine director at The Harrison (where she worked with then-Sous Chef Dieterle) and The Modern. She rejoined Dieterle at The Marrow after a three year stint at Möet Hennesy.
"We're doing about 60% German and Austrian wines, so the list might be a little unfamiliar to our diners." The remainder of the list is made up of a mix of mostly Italian and American bottles, chosen to be "food friendly, accessible, and fruit forward." Every category of wine has several bottles under $50, with some as low as $28 on the menu. "I had no idea the Germans and Austrians would be so popular. There's been a real 'when in Rome' attitude, which is great. They trust us and want something that fits with the German-Italian theme of the restaurant."
"I didn't sell my first bottle of American wine until two weeks after opening," she adds. "It was a Pinot Noir, of course."
Cocktails (all $12) are designed collaboratively by the restaurant team and stray into boozier territory; a refreshing change from the long cocktails and fizzy drinks served at Kin Shop. "Half our menu is either no ice or a big ice cube," says bartender Chris Van Hoy. "Strong drinks. I like that."
The short cocktail list is comprised for the most part of variations on classics—The Marrow 75 is a French 75 made with German gin, a Bank Robber is a straight up Boulevardier—with a few originals thrown in—an apple drink (the Miss Roberts' Cobbler) made with apple butter and cognac, and a tiki-ish Spritzle made with rum, demerara, and Rumple Minze.

Our website history of Orion will shortly be updated as further information has come to hand about Orion since the earlier SLS leaflet about the engine was published back in 2005. Originally thought to have reached a centenary in 2005 it is now considered that the locomotive was completed and first steamed in 1911.
As a reminder Orion is a 9.5" gauge representation of the LNWR "Alfred the Great" class which G R S Darroch began building in his time at Crewe Works. It is the only working, original, Webb compound in the world and a superb machine.

I am working on a program that requires me to simulate an operating system linker using text input from a file that is scanned in from the command line. There are multiple problems that I am having with this assignment, however, the first of which is why my method of isolating certain elements of input is only returning some of the elements that match the criteria and not all. What the following code is trying to do is to traverse the input while checking to see if the input is equal to a string. It then advances the input and checks to see if the next input is an int, if it is, then it checks to see if its greater than 10 and assigns it to a value and then prints this value with each iteration of the while loop. So my question is why isn't doing what I want, i.e. printing all the input that matches the criteria instead of just some of it. If anybody can help me with this, perhaps they could help me with some of my other problems.
int address; input=input.reset(); while (input.hasNext()) { if ((input.next()).equalsIgnoreCase("A")) { if (input.hasNextInt()) { address = input.nextInt(); if (address > 10) { System.out.println(address + " : " + address); } if (input.hasNext()) { input.next(); } } } else if (input.hasNext()) { input.next(); } }
Sample Input:
1 xy 2 2 z xy 5 R 1004 I 5678 E 2000 R 8002 E 7001 0 1 z 6 R 8001 E 1000 E 1000 E 3000 R 1002 A 1010 0 1 z 2 R 5001 E 4000 1 z 2 2 xy z 3 A 8000 E 1001 E 2000
So for now, what I want to do(though not really what I need to do) is just to have the scanner isolate the "A" in the input and print out the four digit number that follows it. However, for some reason, the scanner only detects the last A and only prints "8000" but not the "1010" that comes before it. I assume this is somewhat related to me misusing next(), but I am not sure what I am doing wrong. Any ideas?

Mine would have to be either the Head IG Prestige Pro. This racquet does it all. Hits flat well. Spins the ball well. Stable, the right weight for me. Plenty of plow, control on the drives. Great serving racquet, nice cuts on the volleys.
The only thing that happened on my demo is the clear bumper guard came off on one of my backhand slices. I don't know if the material is not as strong as the standard black ones of last year and the years before. But I've never had it peel apart from the center of the top like that.
My close second is the Tecnifibre 325 VO2 max. I'd need a touch of lead so it would plow as well. The volleys all have to be sheared with back spin more than the Prestige Pro. Hitting them flat does launch them more, with a faster rebound angle. But everything else is great.

LODI - Authorities have obtained a search warrant that includes a cellphone belonging to Ryan Christopher Morales, 28, the man suspected of causing a collision that killed six people Tuesday in Lodi.
LODI - Authorities have obtained a search warrant that includes a cellphone belonging to Ryan Christopher Morales, 28, the man suspected of causing a collision that killed six people Tuesday in Lodi.
Police believe Morales was driving under the influence of alcohol, and they are investigating witness claims that he was using his cellphone when the crash occurred. Lodi Police Chief Mark Helms will hold a news conference at 11 a.m. today at Hutchins Street Square to provide an update on the investigation.
Cellphone use remains a major problem on California roadways, law enforcement officials said. Distracted drivers are twice as likely to be involved in a collision, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
"Anything that diverts a person's attention away from driving increases the potential risk of loss of life or property and is going to be a danger to society," said Officer James Smith, a spokesman for the California Highway Patrol. "For whatever reason, citizens decide they need to take that phone call or send that text message, and that's causing them to be distracted, which is ultimately causing them to be a danger to society, a danger to themselves and a danger to other citizens on the road."
The NHTSA defines distracted driving as any activity that could take a person's attention away from the task of driving. This includes cellphone use, eating, grooming, reading and adjusting the radio. In 2011, 387,000 people were injured and 3,331 killed in the United States in crashes involving a distracted driver, the NHTSA said.
"Distracted driving is a serious traffic safety concern that puts everybody on the road at risk," said Officer Joe Silva, a spokesman for the Stockton Police Department.
Lt. Sierra Brucia of the Lodi Police Department agreed.
"It's very dangerous when you're driving a vehicle to be distracted in any way," Brucia said. "Anything that distracts you while you're driving a vehicle poses a tremendous risk to the public."
In 2008, California enacted a law prohibiting drivers from using hand-held wireless devices while operating motor vehicles. Since then, authorities have stiffened fines and penalties and stressed the dangers of distracted driving, but studies show that cellphone use among motorists is still on the rise.
A 2012 study conducted on behalf of the California Office of Traffic Safety and the Safe Transportation Research and Education Center at University of California Berkeley revealed a disturbing trend. Despite law enforcement efforts, distracted-driving rates in California increased from 4.2 percent in 2011 to 6.4 percent in 2012, the study said. San Joaquin County had the state's second-highest rate of distracted driving at 10.9 percent.
Distracted drivers can face fines and penalty assessments totaling nearly $200 for a first offense and more than $300 for a subsequent offense. Those who cause collisions can face criminal prosecution, Smith said.
"You can be charged," he said. "In the event that somebody's on a cellphone, if they are involved in a collision that they are at fault for and they cause the death of another individual, they can potentially be charged with felony vehicular manslaughter with gross negligence."
