While we went 6-1 overall last week, we pulled a Houston when it comes to the pocketbook. It was bad, but no one "got resigned" … yet. Maybe we just need to add a "few bad citizens" around here to find more success.
The fear this week is that our team will get caught peeking ahead past this week's task at hand — an uninspiring quintet rescued only by SEC expansion — to next week's far more attractive board that includes: Alabama at Arkansas, Florida at Tennessee, USC at Stanford, Notre Dame at Michigan State and BYU at Utah.
Week 2 doesn't contain a single game pitting ranked foes against each other. We really had to scrounge around to fill out our Top 5 this week. It's such a sad Saturday that Thursday's Pitt-Cincy pillow fight made it.
Oh well, still way better than baseball.
TOP 5 GAMES OF THE WEEK (Thursday, Sept. 6 thru Saturday, Sept. 8)
1) No. 7 Georgia at Missouri
Sat., Sept. 8 — 7:45 p.m. ET, ESPN2
With nearly half of its starting defense out of uniform (four suspensions and one injury), Georgia was underwhelming in a 45-23 victory over Buffalo last Saturday. Mark Richt will need more hands on deck in Columbia to slow down the Tigers' slippery spread led by dual-threat quarterback James Franklin.
Missouri, which is making its SEC debut, also deserves your attention in the other phases of the game, after reaching the end zone four times while the offense wasn't on the field in its 62-10 smackdown over Southeastern Louisiana. Punt returner Marcus Murphy accounted for half of those non-offensive scores in the opener.
Even with all that firepower on the opposite sideline, the Bulldogs still figure to set the pace. Junior quarterback Aaron Murray has a pair of senior wideouts to target and freshman running back Todd Gurley had an impressive debut last week with a TD hat-trick that included a 100-yard kickoff return.
They'll put the Bulldogs out in front and Jarvis Jones & Co. will make sure they stay there.
Missouri defensive end Sheldon Richardson disagrees, but "old man football" still wins the games in this league.
Opening point spread: Georgia by 3 1/2
The pick: Georgia 27-20
2) No. 24 Florida at Texas A&M
Sat., Sept. 8 — 3:30 p.m. ET, ESPN
As the Gators' 27-14 victory over Bowling Green last Saturday illustrates, it's good to open versus an opponent that you can work out the kinks against without a heavy threat of getting tagged with a loss.
The Aggies had their version of that sort of runout all set up against Louisiana Tech, but Hurricane Isaac forced a postponement, leaving this visit by Florida as their lidlifter. Yowza.
No pressure, Kevin Sumlin. Your first game in charge at College Station is just Texas A&M's debut in the SEC. Don't worry, no one will remember that billboard. And Herbie, Desmond and Coach Corso will be there with you to break the matchups down.
It's a tough spot for redshirt freshman quarterback Johnny Manziel. He has wideouts Ryan Swope and Uzoma Nwachukwu, and rebuilt running back Christine Michael to lean on, but Florida's ultra experienced defense will swallow up most of what the Aggies have to offer from their new attack.
On the other side, Gator sophomore quarterback Jeff Driskel has emerged from a competition with Jacoby Brissett, but it's still a shaky situation, which isn't helped much by inexperienced receivers. But they'll be going against an Aggie secondary that is similarly young and senior running back Mike Gillislee seems capable of shouldering a significant share of the offensive burden.
Opening point spread: Texas A&M by 2 1/2
The pick: Florida 23-17
3) Washington at No. 3 LSU
Sat., Sept. 8 — 7 p.m. ET, ESPN
This prediction comes courtesy of Shane Hedani from the P101 satellite office in Maunawili, Hawai'i.
Keith Price is back to trigger a Husky offense that's expected to be explosive. Early in the opener versus San Diego State, the attack appeared as advertised, but when tackle Ben Riva went down, the offense went with him for the final three quarters.
Against a far-from-dominant defense, the Washington offense showed that it will struggle in the post-Chris Polk era. Without a take-charge running back, the play-action game will struggle and Price won't be able to take advantage of an unsettled LSU defensive backfield.
Tigers in Seattle are nothing like Tigers in Death Valley. It'll be a long night for the Dawg offense.
We've been hearing that new coordinator Josh Wilcox will work with a much improved Husky defense. Well, giving up 199 rushing yards to the Ronnie Hillman-less Aztecs doesn't bode well when Alfred Blue, Kenny Hilliard and a bigger, meaner offensive front brings it in the trenches. Both Tiger backs will go over the century mark for the second week in a row.
The Huskies are still a few years away from approaching college football's elite.
Opening point spread: LSU by 22
The pick: LSU 38-10
4) No. 13 Wisconsin at Oregon State
Sat., Sept. 8 — 4 p.m. ET, FX
We don't know what to expect from the Beavers, who had their opener versus Nicholls State postponed due to Hurricane Isaac. But, really, what would we have learned? Perhaps it serves them well that the Badgers didn't get a peek and they'll be better rested.
Wisconsin wasn't impressive against Northern Iowa, needing to bat down a pass on fourth-and-1 to preserve a 26-21 victory in Madison.
The Badger offense led by new quarterback Danny O'Brien (a "Russell Wilson rule" graduate of Maryland), new coordinator Matt Canada and good ol' Montee Ball was vanilla as usual and generally effective versus the FCS squad.
The Wisconsin defense, however, could be a concern in Corvallis as the Panthers seemed to figure out coverage schemes and took advantage in the second half.
Oregon State's young backfield of Sean Mannion (sophomore) and running backs Storm Woods (redshirt freshman) and Malcolm Agnew (sophomore) could be just balanced enough to topple the visitors.
The Beavers are usually good for at least one of these a season, having beaten nine ranked teams since 2005.
Opening point spread: Wisconsin by 11
The pick: Oregon State 28-24
5) Pittsburgh at Cincinnati
Thurs., Sept. 6 — 8 p.m. ET, ESPN
Last week wasn't a good one for teams from Pennsylvania with new coaches at the helm, hosting teams from Ohio.
Road games after wakeup calls have a way of bringing clear focus to a squad, at least that's what Paul Chryst is hoping happens for his Panthers.
Except for the fact that Pitt has a short week to rest and retool before this Thursday tilt, this all puts Cincinnati head coach Butch Jones in a difficult spot. Not only would he have preferred the Panthers take care of Youngstown State as expected, but to have a played a game prior to this conference opener would have been nice too.
Pitt, which also might be bolstered by players coming off suspensions, has several wicked weapons. They just weren't sharp right out of the box.
The Bearcats will go down that same road.
Opening point spread: Pittsburgh by 2
The pick: Pittsburgh 23-21
Penn State at Virginia
Sat., Sept. 8 — noon ET, ABC
This prediction comes courtesy of Marc Doche (@MDoche) from the P101 satellite office in Burbank, Calif.
Maybe a home game against a team they were supposed to beat wasn't the best recipe for the Nittany Lions to begin their new regime and get the attention back to business on the field.
Often times a road trip does a squad in turmoil some good. And while there's no escaping the past and the emotional rollercoaster that comes along with it, Penn State players now have the experience of dealing with the distractions.
The Lions seemed in control of their opener versus Ohio, but the bubble burst after halftime when they surrendered 301 yards of total offense and allowed the Bobcats to convert on 11-of-12 third-down attempts.
Virginia junior triggerman Michael Rocco was 25-of-37 for 311 yards and a touchdown in last Saturday's 43-19 victory over Richmond, spoiling the Spider coaching debut of his uncle, Danny Rocco.
Penn State might be drained and shorthanded, but it ain't no FCS squad. If Nittany Lion running back Bill Belton can overcome an ankle injury and help control the ball on offense, the defense can regroup to avoid a repeat of the sloppy second half effort against Ohio that saw them outscored 21-0.
Smiling faces in Happy Valley are long over due.
Opening point spread: Virginia by 5
The pick: Penn State 24-20
Iowa State at Iowa
Sat., Sept. 8 — 3:30 p.m. ET, Big Ten Network
It's the 60th renewal of the Cy-Hawk Series, which dates back to 1894.
This isn't the most balance rivalry around as Iowa owns a 39-20 advantage. Last year, however, Iowa State broke a three-game losing streak with a 44-41 triple-overtime win in Ames. The last time the Cyclones won on the road in Kinnick Stadium was in 2002, but that 36-16 upset was a doozy (the Hawkeyes' only setback of the regular season).
Judging from their respective openers, this one is a tossup, especially since our friends in the desert tend to underestimate the Cyclones.
Iowa waited until 2:15 remained in the fourth quarter to score its only touchdown in an 18-17 come-from-behind victory over Northern Illinois at Solider Field last Saturday. Four field goals normally won't get the job done against anybody, but the Hawkeyes escaped. Credit the Iowa defense, which held the Huskies to just 201 total yards, only 54 of which came through the air.
Iowa State, on the other hand, overcame a horrific start and scored 24 unanswered to beat a decent Tulsa squad, 38-23, last week in Ames. Quarterback Steele Jantz was 32-of-45 for 281 yards. He sprayed his aerials around to nine different receivers and accounted for three touchdowns.
The Cyclones, who displayed a sturdy defense in the final three quarters versus the Golden Hurricane, will be tested by Hawkeye sophomore tailback Damon Bullock, who rushed for 150 yards and that lone touchdown (a 23-yarder on third-and-9). However, Iowa quarterback James Vandenberg passed for only 129 yards and was sacked six times, giving something new offensive coordinator Greg Davis to work on.
Opening point spread: Iowa by 4
The pick: Iowa 26-24
Week 1 record: 6-1

Is Prowse Owed Royalties From
Posted By
Apparently David Prowse is a little concerned why he has yet to receive a royalty check from the
Return of the Jedi SE
according to the
"Prowse has revealed that although he is entitled to a small percentage of box office receipts for two of the three original Star Wars films ? The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi ? he has not received residual payments for Return of the Jedi because producers told him that it has not made a profit.
?In the last 30 years you can count the number of times [The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi] have been in the cinema on one hand, and it never returned much money,? he said in an interview in Equity magazine. ?I get these occasional letters from Lucasfilm saying that we regret to inform you that as Return of the Jedi has never gone into profit, we?ve got nothing to send you. Now here we?re talking about one of the biggest releases of all time.?
In real terms, Return of the Jedi is the fifth highest grossing film so far made. The film made $572 million (?388 million) at cinemas worldwide, including an estimated $88 million when it was re-released as a ?special edition? in 1997.
Friends of Prowse said that the letter informing him that Return of the Jedi had not made a profit was referring to the special edition. Under the terms of his contract, he would be entitled to a percentage of cinema takings once the film had exceeded its production costs. The expense of adding new footage to Return of the Jedi for the special edition is not clear, but it is estimated that the cost of revamping its prequel, The Empire Strikes Back, was $7 million.
Lucasfilm, the production company, declined to say whether costs for the Return of the Jedi special edition had exceeded its $88 million box office receipts. Lynne Hale, director of public relations, said: ?Lucasfilm, as a matter of policy, does not discuss its financial arrangements with cast or crew on its movies, and we will respect that policy here other than to say that Mr Prowse?s statement is not accurate.?'

Inderal is the brand name for propanolol, a prescription drug used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension).
It's also used to treat severe chest pain (angina), migraines, thickened heart muscle (hypertrophic subaortic stenosis), tremors, a rare tumor called pheochromocytoma, and a movement disorder known as akathisia.
Off-label, Inderal is used to treat esophageal bleeding, aggressive behavior, and panic attacks.
Inderal is a beta blocker. It works by changing the response to nerve impulses in the heart and other body parts, thus making the heart beat more slowly and reducing blood pressure.
As blood pressure lowers, the heart pumps more efficiently.
Sir James Black, who won the Nobel Prize in Medicine in 1988, developed propranolol in the 1960s. The invention is widely viewed as one of the most important contributions to medicine and pharmacology in the 20th century.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved Inderal, initially made by Wyeth, in 1967.
Currently, a number of companies make generic propranolol. A long-acting form for once-a-day dosing has also been approved.
In 2006, the FDA issued a warning letter to Wyeth after receiving reports from consumers who said they found screws and washers inside the bottles of Inderal LA (a long-acting form of the drug).
The FDA cited the Wyeth plant for not following good manufacturing practices and the drug maker took corrective actions.
Inderal is prescribed "off-label" for panic attacks.
A study published in 1976 concluded that propranolol could help symptoms of anxiety.
However, a study published in 2013 described a case of an 11-year-old boy with bipolar-1 disorder and panic disorder who developed manic symptoms after taking propranolol.
There is anecdotal evidence that people use propranolol and other beta blockers to help with stage fright, performance anxiety, and public speaking.
Some people chat online about whether propranolol can give you a "high," but most conclude it does not.
Inderal can make angina (chest pains) worse and perhaps cause heart attack if you stop taking it abruptly.
Never stop taking Inderal without first consulting your doctor, who will instruct you on how to safely discontinue its use, if necessary.
If you have bronchospastic lung disease, beta blockers such as Inderal should be taken with caution.
Low blood sugar can occur while taking Inderal, especially after intense exercise.
If you have liver or kidney problems, your doctor will prescribe Inderal with caution.
The medicine may interfere with a glaucoma screening test.
Animal studies have shown that Inderal may have an adverse effect on a developing fetus, but no adequate studies have been done in people.
However, the benefits of taking Inderal during pregnancy may outweigh the risks.
Discuss the pros and cons with your doctor.
Inderal is excreted in breast milk, so breastfeeding mothers should take Inderal with caution. Ask your doctor what course of action is best.
Side effects of Inderal that normally don't need immediate medical attention include:
If these persist or bother you, ask your doctor what to do.
Certain side effects warrant a call to the doctor right away. These include:
Thioridazine, an antipsychotic drug, should not be used with Inderal.
Using Inderal with certain other medicines is not usually recommended. These include:
Drinking alcohol while taking Inderal may increase the medication's effects on lowering blood pressure, at least initially.
If you drink while on Inderal, you may feel dizzy, lightheaded or faint, especially when you first start the medicine.
Ask your doctor how to manage alcohol intake while on Inderal.
If you take a multivitamin, do not take it at the same time as Inderal.
Doing so may make the Inderal less effective. Allow two hours between taking the medicine and the vitamin.
Be sure to tell your doctor about any prescription, non-prescription, over-the-counter (OTC), illegal and recreational drugs you may be taking, as well as herbal remedies, nutritional and dietary supplements.
Inderal is available in tablet form in doses of 10, 20, 40, 60 and 80 milligrams (mg).
It is also offered as Inderal LA, a long-acting or extended-release medicine.
Doses vary, depending on the condition being treated.
Symptoms of overdose may include weakness, fainting, or an irregular heartbeat.
Call your doctor right away if you think you've taking too much Inderal, or go to the nearest emergency room.
If you miss a dose of Inderal, take it as soon as you can. However, if it is nearly time for your next dose, just resume your regular schedule. Don't double up.
A: Inderal doesn't interact with many foods so you shouldn't have to watch what you are eating. However, it is not recommended to intake alcohol while on Inderal because it may increase the concentration of the medication in your blood. Inderal should be taken with a full glass of water at the same time every day. It is best taken before meals. The pill should not be crushed, chewed or broken. Megan Uehara, PharmD

A Needham High School junior used part of a teacher's password to hack into the school's computer system, accessing the class schedule of every incoming student and posting them on Facebook.
A Needham High School junior used part of a teacher's password to hack into the school's computer system, accessing the class schedule of every incoming student and posting them on Facebook.
"Essentially what this student did was he went to a file cabinet, took the files out of the school and photocopied them; he just did it virtually," said Superintendent Dan Gutekanst.
The breach of the school's computer system was brought to Gutekanst's attention about two weeks ago. Gutekanst and Needham High School Principal Paul Richards sent an e-mail to parents Aug. 25 explaining the situation.Richards declined to make any additional comment.
The e-mail said the 17-year-old high school junior, who is not being identified, posted on his Facebook account an Excel file that contained each high school student's schedule and identification number for the upcoming school year, along with each teacher's class roster. The e-mail said the student admitted to learning part of a teacher's password and then developing a program to hack into PowerSchool, the program used by Needham Schools to manage student information, to retrieve student data. None of the data was altered.
"We ask that you speak with your children and ask them not to pass along the file (which is still happening), but to instead delete the email," the administrators' e-mail said. "If they have already downloaded the file, please ask them to delete it from the computer, for the information is stolen property."
Gutekanst said he doesn't know how the student got hold of the teacher's password. He noted the incident does not suggest any problems with the PowerSchool program.
"We do believe this is a safe and secure system," Gutekanst said. "We're certainly going to look at ways we can work with teachers to make sure the system is safe and secure. …This is about a student who broke into our school house and took information that didn't belong to him."
The schools plan to insist the student compensate them for the energy, time and expense of on correcting the issues caused by the student's breach of the system.
"The student caused a significant problem," Gutekanst said. "We have to reevaluate our procedures and work on changing the teachers' passwords."
Needham Police are also looking into the matter. Gutekanst said the student has been cooperative, and that he doesn't believe any other students were involved.
"There's no question there will be some significant discipline from the school's end," Gutekanst said, noting he doesn't believe the student was trying to be malicious. "The student's use of technology is in question and a suspension is being looked at as a possibility."
As for the student identification numbers, Gutekanst is unsure if it will be necessary to assign new numbers to incoming students, noting the numbers are randomly assigned and are simply considered "management tools."
"I don't think there's anything serious in that number," Gutekanst said.
Gutekanst first learned about the breach about two weeks ago, when a parent called him at his home and told him about it. Gutekanst then had his daughter "friend" the student on Facebook so that he could access the file as it was posted on the networking Web site.
"Sure enough, when she friended him, there it was," Gutekanst said.

Over 40 years Peterson has established a reputation as a prolific community organizer, a feet made all the more rare considering she isn't even from here.
Peterson grew up in a small town outside of Milwaukee, population 3,000-plus, where everyone knew everyone and life revolved around high school basketball games. Though she left before adulthood, a strong argument could be made that her years growing up in the tight-knit community of Cedarburg, Wisconsin were the perfect preparation for a lifetime's worth of community work on the streets of Greenpoint and Williamsburg.
Peterson came to New York in 1962. The following year, she participated in the March on Washington, and has been an avid community organizer ever since.
In North Brooklyn she started Neighborhood Women of Greenpoint/Williamsburg, the National Congress of Neighborhood Women, the group Groots International and the Huairou Commission. Today, the latter is a UN-affiliated, multi-million dollar organization with an international reach that extends to 50 countries.
Despite these successes, Peterson remains close to home: she runs all four organizations out of the same facility at 249 Manhattan Avenue. Peterson calls the building the "grassroots clearing house."
Her efforts focus on organizing women to be active, empowered members of their community with a stake in its development. Peterson said women are uniquely suited for the challenge.
"We see women as being leaders in local development who hold the values that nurture a community," said Peterson. "Women have a set of values that speak to development."
Its fair to say Peterson's vision of sustainable development differs from the mayor's.
In one project, completed in the 1990's, Neighborhood Women of Greenpoint/Williamsburg developed eight affordable housing buildings on the Greenpoint Hospital site. Today, people still live there; one building bears a plaque in Peterson's name.
A future project, she said, will be the creation of a walking tour of the neighborhood, to highlight the contributions women have made to the area. Until that tour materializes (its in the works now), Peterson is content to do it alone.
"I love walking every block here and seeing people I know," Peterson said. "I don't want to leave Williamsburg/Greenpoint. That's my home." (Daniel Bush)

You guys do realize this guy cameos in GTA IV,right?In No way on the Subway,Niko kills him. Weazel News claims (not exact quote):"One body has been identified as that of Jim Fitzgerald.Should we post this? HuangLee 21:45, 7 January 2009 (UTC)
- If you're 100% sure. My problem is that I turn off the radio when I have friends in the car, then I always forget to turn it back on, so I hardly hear the news. Biggest GTA Fan EverTalk 23:39, 7 January 2009 (UTC)
- If you need further proof,I'm pretty sure you can go to the liberty Tree and read the story about the mission.I think it says it in there too.BTW why is your signature orange? HuangLee 22:19, 8 January 2009 (UTC)
- Grand Theft Wiki allows original research. What that means is that if you know something is true, you can put it on the page without a reference. Something like this people might not believe so you simply mention the news. Still don't believe, they play it themselves and wait for the news. You don't need to prove something to an admin to put it on the page (unless I actually removed it). Hope that makes sense! Biggest GTA Fan EverTalk 23:13, 8 January 2009 (UTC)
Hmm, I added it, but you're right. Leave it for now, we will see what people think. BTW, only use five indents, then start again! (I used to do what you're doing). Biggest GTA Fan EverTalk 23:31, 8 January 2009 (UTC)
- I've never been told this (the five indents thing) in all the more than 51 days I've been here but okay. HuangLee 23:36, 8 January 2009 (UTC)
- On a recount, you only used five anyway. Biggest GTA Fan EverTalk 23:38, 8 January 2009 (UTC)
- Well,once I remember I used ,like,more than 12 indents. HuangLee 23:39, 8 January 2009 (UTC)
- On a recount, you only used five anyway. Biggest GTA Fan EverTalk 23:38, 8 January 2009 (UTC)
Is it possible that the person who did the voice in the original game wasn't available for TLAD? Honestly, he didn't play a big role in the original, so it didn't matter. I think if we document this, it should not claim it as an error, but just a fact. Biggest GTA Fan EverTalk 09:28, 24 February 2009 (UTC)
- In the credits, GTA4 has Jim voiced by Dennis Predovic. In the Lost and Damned, by Chris McKinney. So should it be labeled as inconsistency?--spaceeinstein 19:45, 24 February 2009 (UTC)
I don't mean to argue, but regarding the picture of the two bikers during the mission No Way on the Subway Jim is NOT supposed to be the bald biker.
If you've played The Lost and Damned you'll know that in the mission Collector's Item, when you meet up with Jim, he's standing WITH a BALD Lost MC member.
Making it obvious that Jim was supposed to be the long haired/bearded biker in GTA IV.
Also, the news states Jim died on the track, it is possible to kill the long haired guy before the track, but if you notice in GTA IV, you can't kill the bald biker until he's off the tracks,
So I'm changing it back, you can check the Collector's Item mission on youtube, and see for yourself. It doesn't matter which one he's "registered too" it's just a mistake, as is the fact they look completely different. Grand Theft AJ 01:17, October 1, 2009 (UTC)
- In my opinion, game files trump speculations in all cases. The game files specifically named that bald biker as Jim and Jim's voice actor is credited in the game. The bald biker was the one who talked so he should be Jim.--Spaceeinstein 01:03, October 1, 2009 (UTC)
It's not speculation though... so that has no relevance, it's fact that Jim isn't the bald guy, I don't mean to argue, it's just the way it is lol Grand Theft AJ 01:17, October 1, 2009 (UTC)
- I know. People had many discussions on this but there is no solid proof that the bald biker in TLAD is the exact same bald biker in GTA IV unless someone probes through TLAD's file or if Rockstar mention about it. Right now, the evidence that the bald guy in GTA IV is Jim outweighs the evidence that he's not.--Spaceeinstein 01:40, October 1, 2009 (UTC)
Dude... GTA IV, No Way on the Subway - Bald biker and a long haired biker GTA TLAD, Collector's Item - Bald biker and Jim Fitzgerald No disrespect intended... but it's not rocket science. Grand Theft AJ 01:48, October 1, 2009 (UTC)
- It is rocket science to me. Since there are two possibilities, you can mention these in Jim's article. This discussion should've been discussed there. I'm not the only one who thinks the bald guy is Jim.--Spaceeinstein 15:49, October 1, 2009 (UTC)
Well they're wrong too, Jim may have supposed to have been the bald biker maybe not, but obviously, that's not true anymore, Jim is obviously not the bald biker. Grand Theft AJ 22:08, October 2, 2009 (UTC)
- How can you be so sure that you're right? I just provided evidence that the bald biker can be Jim. If there are two opposing views, each with evidence to support them, then no one is right until there is true confirmation.--Spaceeinstein 22:49, October 2, 2009 (UTC)
Well in conclusion then, if we skip the little things and look at the bigger picture, there is no right answer or wrong answer, why should your evidence overpower mine? Just because you have that nifty moderator badge? That doesn't seem fair at all, seeing as both of us are right and have equal evidence. Grand Theft AJ 01:58, October 3, 2009 (UTC)
- Since there are two possibilities, you can mention these in Jim's article.--Spaceeinstein 04:59, October 3, 2009 (UTC)
That was exactly SE's point. Since there are two possibilities/options, and we don't know (or agree) which one is correct, then both should be listed. I'm sure that one of you is correct, but unless we can prove it (or it's so obvious that everyone agrees), then we should put both. Nobody is overruling anyone else - this is how disagreements are always managed here. Gboyers talk 13:18, October 3, 2009 (UTC)
Alrighty, I'm glad we've come to agree with this. The only reason I was arguing in the first place was because my possibility wasn't being accounted for. Spaceeinstein was deleting mine and replacing it with his, instead of leaving both. But I'm glad it's all settled now, thank's for hearing me out.Grand Theft AJ 22:51, October 3, 2009 (UTC)
- I want to rant about this issue. My belief is that the bald biker in IV is Jim. In TLAD, Jim is completely different but the bald biker is reused. That means that the bald biker is used as a generic Lost biker. The bald biker in IV is represented as Jim, but in TLAD a black biker represents Jim and the bald biker represents someone else because he's just a generic biker. Claiming the bald biker as Jim is no different than claiming the long haired biker as Jim because both bikers are reused again (or are generic models). But the evidence supporting that the bald biker actually represents Jim outweighs the evidence supporting the long-haired biker as Jim. How can people not see this? This problem is the exact problem involving Victor. The Victor in VC represents Victor and not Pete as evidence showing that he's Victor outweighs the evidence showing he's not Victor. Some people are looking way too deep into this discontinuity. Rockstar is not perfect and can't create a perfect scene where everything makes sense. Assume continuity and the story can be told smoothly instead of jumping everywhere.--Spaceeinstein 15:33, October 8, 2009 (UTC)
Your belief is obviously different from mine, you're talking about codes and generics, I'm talking about the actual storyline of the game, which in the end is more important. In my opinion. Grand Theft AJ 22:45, October 8, 2009 (UTC)
Isn't it ironic how Niko and Johnny are somewhat "friends" yet Niko always kills Lost members behind Johnny's back and he doesn't even know! lol I know, this isn't contributing--FawkesGamer360 00:36, February 23, 2010 (UTC)
Jim wasn't the bald guy in IV
He was the guy with black hair. The bald guy appeared in both games, and the one with black hair appeared in IV. Why does everyone think he's the bald one in IV? Wtf? Jackass2009 03:47, August 3, 2010 (UTC)
Wtf dont people get? He was the guy with black hair. Not baldy. If you don't believe me, play TLAD for god's sakes. Jackass2009 22:18, August 3, 2010 (UTC)
Actually it is the bald guy. I'll be getting proof pretty soon. --Gta-mysteries Talk 22:22, August 3, 2010 (UTC)
Really? I played the mission and Jim was right next to the bald guy. Creepy retcon if he was baldy. Jackass2009 22:24, August 3, 2010 (UTC)
Wasn't a retcon, I found proof inside the game files. --Gta-mysteries Talk 22:25, August 3, 2010 (UTC)
Here's the picture:
Ok, thanks. I would've looked for it myself but my gaming pc has a virus. That means that Jim has an evil brother? lol Jackass2009 22:30, August 3, 2010 (UTC)
Wait a minute, was he shot by Niko or did he crash into the train? I mean, first Jim can't die until after the train tracks, but black hair guy who get replaced by new Jim, can be killed, but he can also crash into the train. Jackass2009 21:36, August 4, 2010 (UTC)
Jim (the one in the picture) is killed by Niko. The other one can be killed but can also crash into a train. --Gta-mysteries Talk 22:05, August 4, 2010 (UTC)
Ok, I was just wondering the canonocity of his (new jim) death was accidental (train) or was shot and killed by niko. Jackass2009 22:08, August 4, 2010 (UTC)
If you guys ACTUALLY played TLAD, you would see that Jim is with that White bald guy. IanMontes 22:59, August 9, 2010 (UTC)

"I am a child stuck between two countries," says 15-year-old Fang "Jenni" Lee in the insightful new documentary "Somewhere Between." Adopted at age 5 and raised in Berkeley, Calif., she is one of roughly 80,000 girls who have come to the U.S. since China first began allowing foreign adoptions in 1992.
The first generation of these young women is now entering adulthood (and they are primarily women, owing to the Chinese preference for sons), and they find themselves grappling with a complex sense of self. "I don't think it makes me Chinese-American," Lee says to the camera thoughtfully. "It definitely doesn't make me American. And it doesn't make me absolutely Chinese. So I guess I'm kind of confused about my identity."
Filmmaker and Chicago native Linda Goldstein Knowlton (herself an adoptive parent of a daughter from China, now 7) focuses on a small group of charismatic teen girls from across the country who are working through these conflicted emotions. Two of them (Fang and Jenna Cook) come to Chicago this weekend with Goldstein Knowlton for post-show discussions at the Music Box Theatre.
"I'm always searching for a way to compensate for the fact that I'm a girl and that I was probably poor and that maybe for some reason I wasn't good enough," Cook says in the film, which is especially strong when capturing these kinds of mental gymnastics, which often include the fervent hope that they were at least placed at an orphanage, rather than abandoned in the street (as many were).
Earlier this week, I reached Goldstein Knowlton at her home in Los Angeles to talk about the film. "One of the reasons they wanted to participate was because they said no one ever asked them about these things," she said of the girls. A seasoned producer of narrative features, Goldstein Knowlton opened up about her decision to ditch what she called "the Hollywood BS" and embark on her first documentary, "The World According to Sesame Street," which looked at various international co-productions of the show in places like Kosovo and South Africa.
"Somewhere Between" is her second film as a director. What follows is an edited transcript of a conversation with her.
Q: You spent a number of years producing some pretty high-profile scripted films, so how did you make the transition to documentaries?
A: I was a little burnt out. I had produced four movies in a short span of time. I was in preproduction on "Whale Rider" when I was in postproduction on "The Shipping News." And "Mumford" and "Crazy in Alabama" were greenlit on the exact same day and started within a week of each other.
Q: The stereotype about Hollywood is that so much of what goes on behind the scenes is just absurd. Is there less of that smarmy, lying-to-your-face type of stuff happening in the world of documentaries? Is it more "pure" in some sense?
A: Pure-ish, or maybe pure with an asterisk. That's the thing. I was burnt out on the whole bull--- of the bull----, because it's really full-on. A lot of that stereotypical stuff is true. So I wanted to take a break. I was figuring out what to do with myself and I had lunch with Joan Ganz Cooney, who started "Sesame Street." She was talking about the program's international co-productions and I thought, that's a documentary.
The process really appealed to me because it was more pure. And I have more control. Having been through the process in Hollywood for a long time, the studio is a bank, basically, and you're making widgets. And I had gotten so far away from the storytelling that I wanted to do. Going into documentary felt like a better chance to tell the story that I wanted to tell.
So there's far less BS going on, but you don't have the bank. Part of being a producer is finding the money, but finding the money for documentaries versus finding the money for scripted films is a gazillion times harder.
Q: What did the film cost?
A: The budget of the film was over $500,000 and less than a million, that's what I'll say. It cost a lot because we traveled abroad four times, and I made about 15 or 20 trips within the United States. Travel actually was really quite expensive, and I'm still raising money to pay for the film. So if anybody wants to make a tax-deductible contribution, that would be awesome. I raised $100,000 on Kickstarter, and that was purely for distribution costs.
Q: It's so difficult for these girls to gain any traction if they want to find their birth parents in China. In many cases, the records simply do not exist. But one of the girls you focus on, Haley Butler, actually finds her biological family and you were there to film their reunion in China. Haley has such an inscrutable expression on her face, it's hard to know what she's thinking and you sense her confusion. As a filmmaker, this is exactly what you want to capture, but I wonder if you ever worry that, at some point in the future, Haley might look back and wish she had kept that moment private.
A: She was in shock, her family was in shock. Everyone in that room, including the crew, we were all in shock. So the inscrutable look on her face was really her trying to figure out how to process her feelings. And the truth is, it's a years-long process — there's no way anyone could process things immediately in that room.
When we were going to that reunion, she told me ahead of time that her intention was to hold it together because she didn't want to make either of her mothers feel bad. She did not want to show emotion, she wanted to really hold it together. What she has said since — and who knows how she'll feel later — but she is actually grateful that it's on film because she was so in shock in the moment, at the time. When she and her mom watched the film, they felt like they were experiencing the moment for the first time.
Q: You've said the idea for the documentary was inspired by curiosity about your own daughter's path as she grows up. What comes through in the film is that no matter how understanding the adoptive family is, you can't prevent some of this angst. But at least now you have the foreknowledge of what your daughter might experience as an adolescent.
A: I know. See, now I wish I did a film about 7-year-olds! Where's that insight?
Q: You're daughter is probably a bit young to watch the movie.
A: I said, "You know, it's kind of a grown-up movie," and she goes, "Yeah, I bet there's a lot of blah, blah, blah in it." So, that's her perception of grown-up movies: People talking too much.
It's so funny, this morning I was thinking, here's this film about identity — and what is my identity? I totally identify myself as being from Chicago. It's a huge part of my identity, and I think part of it was moving away as an adolescent when I was 13. It was like, wait: I am from Chicago. Moving to someplace so unfamiliar — I moved to San Diego — and everything about it was so unfamiliar that it made me grasp that Midwest identity that much more.
"Somewhere Between" opens Friday at the Music Box Theatre. Director Linda Goldstein Knowlton and two stars of the film, Fang Lee and Jenna Cook, will be at the following screenings: 7:30 p.m. Friday, 3 and 7:30 p.m. Saturday and 2 p.m. Sunday.
Joel Hodgson, the man behind Mystery Science Theater 3000 — the TV series that perfected the art of running commentary of B-movies — brings his new one-man show, "Riffing Myself," to Chicago at 8 and 10:30 p.m. Saturday, preceded by a 4 p.m. screening of an MST3K episode. At the Mayne Stage. The show focuses on Hodgson's career and the making of what would become one of Comedy Central's most iconic cult hits. Go to maynestage.com.
Water wars
If you're looking for the next environmental crisis to freak you out, the very real possibility of a 21st century global water shortage is addressed with calm but firm evidence in the documentary "Last Call at the Oasis," which receives its Chicago premiere at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday under the auspices of Chicago Filmmakers. At Columbia College Chicago. Go to chicagofilmmakers.org.
Disney alternative
The pastel, two-dimensional style of animation in the short film "Snowflakes and Carrots" brings to mind the illustrated pages of a children's book come to life. The story of a little girl who nicks the carrot noses off the faces of snowmen is charming and simple and just four minutes long. The Canadian short will screen with eight others in a program called "Snow Cool," 9:30 a.m. Saturday at Facets as part of the cinema's family film series. Go to facets.org.

Smyly impressive in Tigers' loss to Mets
Club continues to showcase speed game with 15th stolen base
LAKELAND, Fla. -- The Tigers have had the green light running the bases all spring. They almost ran their way into a victory on Saturday afternoon at Joker Marchant Stadium with their third double steal in eight days. But Matt Clark's pinch-hit, two-run double completed a ninth-inning comeback, sending the Mets past the Tigers for a 3-2 win.
Both runs came off Justin Miller, a dark-horse candidate for a spot in Detroit's bullpen. A one-out walk to Dustin Lawley and a single to Juan Centeno put runners at the corners for Clark, who stayed alive in the at-bat long enough to turn on a fastball and send it down the right-field line to clear the bases.
Detroit was in control early on, as Drew Smyly's three scoreless innings set the tone for a low-scoring affair. The Tigers were also helped by two highlight catches by their corner outfielders that helped preserve a tenuous lead. Torii Hunter made a leaping catch at the right-field fence, robbing Andrew Brown of at least a double -- if not a solo homer -- in the fourth inning.
Two innings later, Ezequiel Carrera took away a game-tying hit, when he made a diving snare in the left-field gap of a scorched line drive from pinch-hitter Eric Campbell, allowing Phil Coke to escape a bases-loaded, no-out jam with one run allowed.
For Hunter, it showed an extra step that eluded him at times last season covering ground at Comerica Park. The bigger boost went to the speedy Carrera, one of a few candidates to share time in left field with Rajai Davis.
Both Detroit runs came off Noah Syndergaard, who showed the nasty stuff that makes him one of New York's promising young starters but also struggled with command. Both Don Kelly and Daniel Fields reached on second-inning walks, setting them up to run with Bryan Holaday at the plate.
Syndergaard struck out Holaday swinging, but the offspeed pitch he used for it gave Kelly an extra split second to get into third base, as Fields followed into second. Steve Lombardozzi stepped to the plate in a two-out RBI situation and hit a ground ball deep enough to the right side to skip past Eric Young Jr. and into short right field. Fields rounded third as Kirk Nieuwenhuis charged the ball.
Syndergaard gave up two runs on two hits, but walked three with three strikeouts. Five Mets relievers combined for six innings of three-hit scoreless ball from there.
The Mets also retired two other Tigers on the bases, with Jacob deGrom catching Hunter trying to steal in the fourth inning and Ian Kinsler getting doubled off on a line drive to Anthony Seratelli in the sixth.
The Tigers have swiped 15 bases so far this spring. They stole 17 bases in Grapefruit League play in each of the last two years, and haven't stolen 20 bases in a Spring Training since 2006.
Juan Lagares continued to swing a hot bat, as he delivered two singles -- including a ground ball through the middle that led off New York's scoring threat in the sixth. Coke, who gave up three runs on six hits in his previous outing last Monday against the Cardinals, walked Nieuwenhuis -- the only left-handed hitter he faced -- before Josh Satin's slow roller down the third-base line stayed fair to load the bases.
Coke induced a double-play grounder from Brown, as Lagares scored to put New York on the board. Nieuwenhuis moved to third, where he was poised to score had Campbell's liner fallen.
Up next: Miguel Cabrera will make the trip to Jupiter to face his old squad on Sunday afternoon, as the Tigers visit the Marlins for a 1:05 p.m. ET game at Roger Dean Stadium. Ian Kinsler, Alex Avila, Austin Jackson and Nick Castellanos are also scheduled to be in the starting lineup behind Rick Porcello in his third start of the spring. MLB.com Gameday Audio will have the radio broadcast online, as will 97.1 FM on the air in Detroit.

Hey everyone, i am new here and to java. I am currently just starting to learn java and have a problem trying to figure out a simple method. I am writing methods to rotate images, i can do left and right, but cannot make it rotate 180 degree's. I thought it would be as easy as copying and pasting a few lines or multiplying some of the ints from one of my other methods(bottom method is from my rotate right method), any advice or suggestions?
public void copyPictureLeftRotation(Picture sourcePic) { Picture targetPicture = this; Pixel sourcePixel = null; Pixel targetPixel = null; int targetX, targetY = 0; int width = sourcePic.getWidth(); int height = sourcePic.getHeight(); // loop through the rows for (int sourceX = 0; sourceX < width; sourceX++) { // loop through the colomns for (int sourceY = 0; sourceY < height; sourceY++) { // set the target pixel color to the source pixel color sourcePixel = sourcePic.getPixel(sourceX,sourceY); targetX = sourceY; targetY = width - 1 - sourceX; targetPixel = targetPicture.getPixel(targetX,targetY); targetPixel.setColor(sourcePixel.getColor()); } } }

RICHMOND, Va. – Exasperated Richmond Head Coach Chris Mooney sat before a throng of reporters shoehorned into the unremarkable media room in the bowels of VCU's Siegel Center. He sighed as he before he sought to explain what he'd just witnessed. We were obligated to ask, but it didn't take a perfect SAT score to figure out that VCU's "Havoc" wreaking defense had just systematically beat the Spiders into submission.
By the time it was over, a close game had dissolved into a 73-51 punchline. Mooney watched helplessly as his normally steady team, which carried a three-game winning streak into Friday's anticipated matchup, became unhinged in the face of constant VCU pressure.
"I don't want to think that…but I also know that's what the pressure's designed to do," Mooney said. "It's designed to wear you down during the course of the game and of course our guards were in there for such a long time. Maybe it was more indicative of the missed shots. I don't like to think that's the case, but it very well could have been."
VCU's victory Friday came via the best defensive performance to date from a Rams team that's earning a rep for chaos creation. The evidence was in every corner of the box score.
The previously sure-handed Spiders entered the game averaging just over 11 turnovers a game, but they had 10 in the first half alone and finished the game with 17. Forward Darrius Garrett committed seven turnovers, as many as the entire VCU team combined. Go-Kart guard Kendall Anthony, Richmond's leading scorer, was 5-of-18 from the field, including 3-of-11 from 3-point range.

What about editors writing books? In their own lists or outside of it, say, a fiction editor writing a nonfiction book (for their own house? another house?) or vice-versa?If you got a query that said "I am an editor at XYZ House" and (it's not an editor you submit to, of course) what would you do?I think it happens pretty frequently (from what I read in PW) but I'd like the Snarkalicious take on it.
I look at the writing of course. Being a good editor does not correlate to being a good writer. Lots of writers get jobs in publishing to learn about the industry so it's no surprise that I get queries from these folks all the time.
Where it gets a little strange is if you take the book on, and you want to pitch it to the same house where the editor works. That's always touch and go. It also almost never works.
I don't object to editors writing books cause they can't acquire their own stuff, and mostly their own companies won't acquire them either. Agents are a different matter. And book reviewers.
That's where I shriek and wave my arms in the air.

Does the Constitution Follow the Flag? is a book about the way that geography shapes legal rules and understandings—and how fundamental changes in American power and in world politics have challenged and sometimes altered the traditionally territorial system of American law. The ongoing debate over the rights of detainees held at Guantanamo Bay has brought the territorial limits of American law into sharp relief in recent years, but--as my book endeavors to show--this topic actually has a long and fascinating history.
As many readers of this blog are aware, the book appropriates for its title a famous question from the election of 1900. The US had just acquired several overseas colonies in the wake of the Spanish-American War. Yet it was entirely unclear what the status of these islands was. Were the inhabits citizens? Did the federal government have to abide by the Constitution when governing them? The Democratic Party platform of 1900 declared that "We hold that the Constitution follows the flag, and denounce the doctrine that [the federal government] can exercise lawful authority beyond it or in violation of it." Lined up in opposition were those who believed that normal legal rights did not apply fully—or at all—to the new possessions. For these individuals, sovereign borders did not line up with constitutional borders.
At stake in this debate was the ability of the U.S. to participate in an age of vast empires. As proponents of empire knew, if the Constitution indeed followed the flag any American empire was going to remain very small. At stake as well was the self-conception of the nation as a constitutional republic. Was the U.S. like other great powers of the day, all of whom had embraced a vigorous imperialism? Or did the Constitution provide powerful limits that could not be circumvented simply by (re)drawing lines on maps and declaring some areas beyond the reach of the Bill of Rights?
In short, the question of territoriality was central to the first stirrings of America as a truly global power. Territoriality continues to be central today, though it often hides in plain sight. The territorial scope of American law is central to the ability of the federal government to regulate foreign cartels; to protect investors; to station our troops in the myriad overseas U.S. bases; to capture foreign drug traffickers; to govern in Indian country; to combat offshore pollution; and to administer occupied foreign lands. These issues, in short, raises questions of territoriality and extraterritoriality; the book discusses each of them and more.
Does the Constitution Follow the Flag? has several aims. The first and most basic to explain why territoriality is a significant concept and why the American legal system, like other legal systems, has traditionally been presumptively territorial. The Westphalian system of sovereignty is fundamentally premised on territoriality. Yet what is less often recognized is the significance of imperialism and territorial expansion, not only to the development of the modern states system but also to the rules and principles of extraterritoriality. In short, while sovereignty has long been a central concern of lawyers, I make the case that sovereignty's twin, territoriality, deserves the same intense scrutiny.
My second aim is to trace, in broad brushstrokes, the evolution of territoriality in American law from the founding era to today. Parts of this history are well known, such as the extraterritorial application of antitrust law in the postwar era. Others, such as the U.S. District Court for China, or the late 19th century "Guano Islands Act," are less well known. Regardless, until now these parts have not been put together and treated as an interconnected, if occasionally wide-ranging, narrative.
My third aim is to advance several more specific claims about this legal evolution. First, the central concept of extraterritoriality has shown surprising continuity in its purpose even as its form has changed dramatically. Extraterritoriality meant very different things to nineteenth-century lawyers than it does to contemporary lawyers. But the primary function of extraterritoriality has remained, at a fundamental level, the same. That function, I argue, is to manage and minimize the legal differences entrenched by Westphalian sovereignty. Second, extraterritoriality is paralleled by what I call intraterritoriality. Just as extraterritoriality has long been a way to conceptually redraw maps, to redefine what is inside and outside the scope of a sovereign's law, intraterritoriality has served to delineate differences within national borders, particularly as the U.S. grew in size and power. Intraterritorial doctrines, such as the claim that some constitutional rights do not apply in some U.S. territory (such as Indian country or federal territories), reflect the tension between America's constitutional traditions and its global ambitions.
Throughout this book I pay close attention to the international context, particularly to the changing global role of the U.S. In this sense the book is an example of what political scientists call "2nd image-reversed" analysis: I look carefully at how the international system shaped the content and direction of domestic law. As a weak power, the U.S. showed considerable solicitude for traditional Westphalian principles. As a superpower, it was far more willing to bend and even break established doctrine in the pursuit of its national interest. This transformation, and related shifts in international politics and economics, helped to shape the kinds of territorial claims that were made, even if the fundamental aim of these claims—to manage and sometimes manipulate legal differences—remained broadly constant.
In sum, Does the Constitution Follow the Flag? offers a framework that connects a disparate set of territorial doctrines over time and explores their purpose and function. My overarching goal is to make sense of a world in which the United States applies its law to some actors in some places while denying it to other actors in other places. I hasten to add that I am not a historian (my doctorate is in political science) and I certainly don't view this book as the last word on territoriality. I nonetheless hope I have written an account that brings clarity to the topic, that links its political and legal aspects in an interdisciplinary manner, and that helps to vividly and engagingly ground current debates in an historical context.

I'm not finish yet on my redesign project but so far I'm already quite satisfied with the results. I have lot of things to add here. Social media marketing is getting bigger and bigger, and I want to optimize my site for that. I will still add some twitter/facebook/digg/etc gadgets on the sidebar. I'm thinking of adding a header about computer repair and add some tabs.
I'm also thinking of getting a mailing list to add interaction with my readers and start a monthly computer repair newsletter. I will make this site more user friendly to aspiring computer technicians out there. I want them to come back to this site regularly and interact more. I will start a brand new section about basic computer repair (Computer Repair 101). So keep an eye on it.
I'm also planning to start a video section about computer repair tips and how-tos. But it will mostly focus on software troubleshooting because I don't have enough hardware here in Thailand (I recently relocated).
If you have any suggestions about things that I can add to this blog, feel free to leave a comment.

These mobile technologies let users track their moods and experiences, providing a supplemental tool for psychiatrists and psychologists.
"It gives me an additional source of rich information of what the patient's life is like between sessions," says University of Pennsylvania researcher Dimitri Perivoliotis, who treats patients with schizophrenia. "It's almost like an electronic therapist, in a way, or a therapist in your pocket."And of course, after swerving the car over to the side of the road to barely miss the pickup truck that I'd failed to see breaking as I was lost in the radio story, I asked myself aloud in the car: WHY AREN'T WE DOING THIS WITH KIDS?
For considerably less than the cost of textbooks, we could set up every kid with a handheld wi-fi device full of personalized tutor-apps. And school/homework/fieldtrip/to-do-list reminder apps. And apps to track student progress and development -- just like the apps doctors are already using to gauge the experiences of their patients.
Ok, folks, I gotta know: anyone out there doing this already?

General Information
Eviction Forms
The Arizona Residential Landlord and Tenant Act applies to the lease for an apartment, a house or a mobile home. Arizona Revised Statutes § 33-1301 - 33-1377. If the lease is for a space in a mobile home park, then a different set of laws apply. Arizona Revised Statutes § 33-1401 - 33-1501 and Arizona Revised Statutes § 33-1341 & 33-1344. Under Arizona law, some things are illegal to put into a lease. For example, a landlord cannot let someone live somewhere rent free in return for not maintaining the property. Arizona Revised Statutes § 33-1316. A landlord also cannot refuse to rent a place to someone because they have children. Arizona Revised Statutes § 33-1317. A landlord is also required to register the property with the county assessor and list the property owner's name, address and telephone number. Arizona Revised Statutes § 33-1902. A tenant must pay the rent and must pay that rent on time. If a tenant does not pay the rent, the landlord will likely start an eviction action. There is no provision in Arizona law that allows a tenant to withhold rent because the landlord is being disagreeable or because a landlord broke oral promises to a tenant. Except as is explained below, a tenant may not withhold rent.
Tenant Obligations
In addition to the obligation to pay rent on time, a tenant must do the following under Arizona law. Arizona Revised Statutes § 33-1341 & 33-1344.
Access by Landlord to Residence Arizona Revised Statutes § 33-1343
A tenant cannot unreasonably keep the landlord from going into the residence to inspect it or to make repairs. However, unless there is an emergency or unless it is impractical to do so, the landlord must give the tenant at least two days notice that he is going to enter the residence. The landlord can also only enter at reasonable times.
Landlord Obligations
A landlord is required to do the following under Arizona law. Arizona Revised Statutes § 33-1322 - 1323, 1324.
Security Deposits Arizona Revised Statutes § 33-1321
Moving In A landlord can require that the tenant make a security deposit to cover any potential damages made to the property. The amount of the security deposit cannot be more that one and one-half month's rent. When the tenant moves in, the landlord must give the tenant a signed copy of the lease, a form recording any damages to the property, and a written notice that the tenant may be present at the move out inspection. Moving Out The tenant is required to ask the landlord when the move out inspection will occur. If a tenant requests the security deposit back after he or she has moved out, the landlord must within 14 days, either give it back or mail an itemized list of everything subtracted from the deposit for property damage. Any amount left over must be given to the tenant at that time. If the landlord does not do so, the tenant can file suit in a justice court and may recover twice the amount wrongfully withheld. Click here for a sample request.
Tenant Options if Landlord Is Not Following The Lease
Self-Help for Minor Defects Arizona Revised Statutes. § 33-1363 If a landlord fails to make repairs and the problem can be fixed for either less than $300 or an amount equal to one-half of the monthly rent (whichever is greater), the tenant can notify the landlord that he is going to repair the problem at the landlord's expense. The notification must be in writing. If the landlord does not fix the problem within 10 days from receiving notice, the tenant can hire a licensed contractor, submit a repair bill to the landlord, and deduct the cost of the repair work from his rent. This provision does not apply if the damage was caused by the tenant or one of his guests. Click here for a sample notice. Failure to Supply Essential Services Arizona Revised Statutes § 33-1364 If a landlord fails to provide running water, gas and/or electrical service, or fails to provide reasonable amounts of hot water, heat and/or cooling, then the tenant may give notice to the landlord that he is in breach of the lease. (Click here for a sample notice.) At that point, the tenant has one of the following options. Option One: The tenant can arrange for utilities on his own and deduct the cost from the rent. With the utility company's approval, a tenant group or group of tenants can pay a landlord's delinquent utility bill and deduct that amount from their rent. Option Two: The tenant can file suit and recover damages based on the decreased fair rental value of the residence. Option Three: The tenant can find suitable housing (e.g. a motel) during the period of the landlord's noncompliance. If this occurs, the tenant is excused from paying rent for as long as the landlord does not provide the essential service. Other Noncompliance by the Landlord Arizona Revised Statutes § 33-1361 If the landlord fails to comply with the lease in a material way, the tenant can deliver a written notice to the landlord explaining the failure and stating that the lease will terminate in 10 days. If the landlord's noncompliance is materially affecting the tenant's health and safety, then the same notice can state that the lease will end in 5 days. There are two exceptions. First, if the problem can be fixed before the date specified on the notice, then the lease will continue. Second, the problem cannot have been caused by the tenant or his guest.
Military Orders and Lease Provisions
Domestic Violence Victims and Lease Provisions Arizona Revised Statutes § 33-1318
If a tenant is a victim of domestic violence, he/she can break his/her lease if he/she provides written notice to his/her landlord. As proof, the tenant should provide either a copy of the Order of Protection or the police report. If the landlord requests, the tenant must provide documentation showing the Order of Protection has been submitted to be served. If the tenant falsely claims to be a victim of domestic violence in order to end his/her lease early, he/she may be charged with a criminal offense and may have to pay his/her landlord treble damages.
Termination Notice
Eviction Actions
There are two types of eviction actions. Under the rules that govern eviction actions, an eviction is a type of lawsuit called a forcible or special detainer. A special detainer means that the tenant has remained in or on the property after the landlord has given written notice that the rental agreement has been terminated and that the tenant must leave the property. A landlord can file an eviction action against a tenant for nonpayment of rent, if the tenant has breached the lease, or if the tenant has committed a crime. Eviction actions seek the eviction of the tenant and the repossession of the rental property. They may also be filed if the tenant misrepresented information to the landlord or has unauthorized occupants in the residence. Most eviction actions involve an allegation that the tenant has not paid rent on time. If a tenant fails to pay rent, the landlord can give notice that he will terminate the lease if the rent is not paid within5 days. After the 5 day notice, the landlord will most likely not be willing to accept partial payment because he will not be able to proceed with the case unless the tenant agrees in writing that the landlord can do so. Arizona Revised Statutes § 33-1371. On day six, the landlord can file suit. The tenant's inability to pay the rent is not a legal defense to the lawsuit. However, the tenant does have some options. The tenant can pay all of the rent and any late fees any time before the lawsuit is filed and avoid eviction. If the eviction action has been filed, then the tenant must pay all past due rent, late fees, attorney's fees and court costs. If the tenant does so before a judgment is entered, he can avoid eviction. After a judgment has been entered, reinstatement of the lease is solely in the landlord's discretion. As a general rule, the only defense to an allegation of nonpayment of rent is that the rent was actually paid, in the manner and in the amount provided in the lease. What Must Be In The Lawsuit and Other Court Documents Eviction cases are governed by the Arizona Rules of Procedure for Eviction Actions. The lawsuit consists of two main documents. The summons tells the tenant when and where to appear. The complaint tells the tenant what the landlord is requesting. The rules require that a total of four documents be served on the tenant: (1) The Summons; (2) Residential Eviction Information Sheet; (3) The Complaint and (4) A copy of any notice must be attached to the complaint. The landlord must pay the filing fee. After the tenant receives these documents, he or she should file an answer. The answer form gives the tenant several options to check and explain his or her position. The tenant will have to pay an answer fee. If the tenant is unable to afford the answer, the tenant may apply for a waiver of that fee. If the tenant believes that the landlord owes him money, then the tenant may file a counterclaim.
What Will Happen In Court?
Eviction cases are similar to other kinds of lawsuits; however, they move through the court system very quickly. A trial will occur on the date listed on the summons. However, if the tenant fails to appear, and the landlord or his attorney is present, then a judgment will most likely be entered against the tenant. At the date and time listed on the summons, the justice of the peace will start calling cases. If both parties are there, the judge will ask the tenant whether the complaint is true. If the tenant says that the complaint is untrue, then the tenant will need to briefly tell the judge why. If the reason appears to be a legal defense, then the judge will need to take testimony from both sides and make a decision after a trial. If either side needs a delay, they may ask for it but continuances will be granted for no more than 3 business days. A tenant can avoid the hassle, expense and embarrassment associated with a writ of restitution by turning in the keys to the landlord. Doing so ends the tenant's possession of the residence.
Appeal from a Judgment
A tenant may appeal an eviction (forcible detainer) judgment to superior court, Within 5 days from the date of the judgment, the tenant must do the following.

Arizona Revised Statutes § 33-1452E(3), Special Rules on Leases
The initial tenancy must be in writing. Arizona Revised Statutes § 33-1413A. The tenant, but not the landlord, can demand a four year lease. Arizona Revised Statutes § 33-1413K. A four year lease does not necessarily freeze rent but it will allow the tenant to know how much rent will be due over the next four years. Rent increases are highly regulated by statute. When a lease expires, the landlord can unilaterally increase rent by giving the tenant a 90 day notice of the new amount. Arizona Revised Statutes § 33-1413G; Arizona Revised Statutes § 33-1432F. If the new rent exceeds 10% of the Consumer Price Index, then the tenant becomes eligible for relocation assistance from the State Mobile Home Relocation Fund. Arizona Revised Statutes § 33-1476.04. Late charges of 5 dollars per day are allowed if rent is not paid by the seventh of the month. Arizona Revised Statutes § 33-1414C. Consequently, if rent is paid by the 6th, there is no late charge; after that, the fee is 5 dollars per day retroactive to the rental due date.
Arizona Revised Statutes § 33-1414A(4). Termination Notices
Rather than a 5 day notice, a seven day notice for non-payment of rent is required. Arizona Revised Statutes § 33-1465E. If there is a non-compliance that does not involve health and safety, then the tenant has 14 days to cure it or 30 days to move out. Arizona Revised Statutes § 33-1476D(1). If there is a non-compliance that involves health and safety, then the tenant has 10 days to cure it or 20 days to move out. Arizona Revised Statutes § 33-1476D(2). If there is an immediate and irreparable breach, then an immediate written notice "may" be delivered. Arizona Revised Statutes § 33-14765D(3).
