Hey guys, I know there has been some post about this android tablet, but i have had mine for 2 weeks now and I will give you my honest opinion about this tablet.
Of all the tablets I have used, the asus google nexus 7 is by far the best. I would say that it is similar to the Asus transformer prime, which costs over 2 and a half times more! In comparison to the Ipad 3, I see absolutely no difference other than the fact that the nexus 7 is 7 inch and ipad is 10 inch.
In terms of size, i prefer the 7 inch nexus 7 because it only weighs 300 grams and it is the perfect size, with crisp HD graphics. The graphics are incredible, with a quad core CPU.
To use this device with the crunchyroll app or use mangareader apps to read manga on it is fantastic!
Trust me on this one, buy this tablet if you are going to buy one.
And a word of advice, buy the 16GB model, not the 8GB. About 3 GB is for the software, leaving you less memory.
I have one as well:
Ipad 3 has a better screen, but it's not that much of an issue (screen on the nexus 7 is great)
Everything else is better or equal.
If you do own one, one IMPORTANT thing to do: unlock it and search google for "nexus 7 tablet ui"... it really improves it *a lot*!!!
I've had mine for a while, and I think it's great as well :)
I used to have a 10" tablet (Advent Vega), and while that was decent enough I much prefer the Nexus 7 - 7" feels like a much better size for a tablet, and the screen is much nicer. I also like the fact that the case I have puts the tablet into standby when I close it.
An SD card slot of some sort would be nice though, as would HDMI-out. I've also found a few apps in the Play store that don't want to install as they claim to be incompatible, like my bank's Fast Balance app.
Other than those gripes (which are pretty minor) it's well worth the money IMO.
Too bad all your opinions are wrong.
I got one and a IPAD 3... I like the fact you can use firefox with flash patch and watch 720p crunchyroll when a anime comes out, and not
having to wait for the android / ipad app
In my experience, native apps run better than running from a browser. Sides, I prefer watching CR on my widescreen off of my Roku
I got one a few days ago and love it It's great for watching anime from Crunchyroll
I'm thinking of buying one soon, for reading books, comics, manga etc. I'm guessing anyone who's tried hasn't had any problems with these things?
They look a nice machine, especially considering the price. I'm certainly looking forwards to owning one =)
thanks for taking the time to review the tablet, OP.
Heaven or hell!? LETS ROCK!
I have a Motorola Xoom, and sometimes I just find it a little too big, so I thing I would like the 7" form factor.
I also imagine it is a lot faster then my Xoom, with Jelly Bean and a quad core processor.
Still, I still prefer Android based mobile devices to iOS.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: Claire Gonzales February 23, 1996 Reginald Welch (202) 663-4900 TDD: (202) 663-4494
WASHINGTON -- In the third of a series of Commission meetings focusing on specific types of unlawful employment discrimination, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) will hear presentations by invited experts on discrimination issues affecting African Americans in the workplace.
The meeting, originally scheduled for November 14, 1995, but postponed due to the shutdown of the federal government from Nov. 14-19, will now be held on Tuesday, February 27, at 2 p.m. in the Clarence M. Mitchell, Jr. Conference Room (9th floor), 1801 L Street, N.W. The public is urged to attend the meeting to hear the following speakers make presentations on the topic of employment issues affecting African American workers:
Race-based charges continue to comprise the highest percentage of charges filed annually with the EEOC -- making up 34% of all charge receipts in Fiscal Year 1995. African American men and women accounted for 86% of the more than 30,000 race-based discrimination charges filed with the EEOC in FY 1995, a trend that has held steady for the past decade.
In March 1995, Chairman Casellas announced his intent to hold a series of special Commission meetings examining the specific bases of discrimination for which the EEOC has statutory responsibility. Previous meetings focused on national origin discrimination under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and wage-based discrimination under the Equal Pay Act. Other types of discrimination to be addressed at future meetings include gender, religion, age, and discrimination against persons with disabilities.
EEOC enforces Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits employment discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin; the Age Discrimination in Employment Act; the Equal Pay Act; the Americans with Disabilities Act, which prohibits discrimination against people with disabilities in the private sector and state and local governments; prohibitions against discrimination affecting individuals with disabilities in the federal government; and sections of the Civil Rights Act of 1991.
NOTE TO MEDIA: The Commission agenda is subject to revision. You may call (202) 663-7100 (voice) or (202) 663-4074 (TDD) on February 27 to confirm the above schedule.

Born to Run by Christopher McDougall
As far as I know, this is the first ever public review of the book.
This is a masterpiece. A work on running that will define running for a new generation of runners.
Christopher McDougall asks a simple question: Why does my foot hurt?
His answer spans the centuries and brings us to the cutting edge of running revelations that are as old as our genes.
Our generation of runners have seen it all. Many today thinking that to run is dangerous and that the foot is a death-trap injury appendage waiting to happen. Makes sense, for many runners running today have never known of any other way to run than with big, overly cushioned orthotic boots...cuz our feet are no good and need lots of help, right?
Christopher tells a great tale using an obscure race and race director, a tribe of beautiful people and a rag tag group of ultra runners to weave a story that brings us to a place where rediscovery of our primal connection to running...free of marketing and big bucks and bad science...leads us to new possibilities and a change of thinking that is applicable to any human being wishing to locomote herself on two legs.
This book is at-one-and-the-same-time an adventure tale of impossible possibilities and a cutting edge running research journal entry.
Take a wild trip and read this book. You're gonna love it.
PS. The book I am reading is an uncorrected proof. Actual book to be published on May 7, 2009.
PSS. Did I mention I am one of the most garrulous characters in the book? Buyer beware.

Former parliamentary speaker Peter Slipper says he feels "vindicated" after a court proceedings against him were thrown out.
Federal Court judge Steven Rares on Wednesday dismissed a sexual harassment case brought against Mr Slipper by staffer James Hunter Ashby, saying the purpose of the case had been to "pursue a political attack against Mr Slipper".
Mr Slipper said in a statement he was pleased with the judge's decision.
"I have always maintained that Mr Ashby's application was about manipulating the justice system to inflict damage on my reputation and political career and to advance the interests of the Liberal National Party," Mr Slipper said.
"In his judgment, Justice Rares said he had reached the firm conclusion that Mr Ashby's predominant purpose for bringing these proceedings was to pursue a political attack against me.
"I feel vindicated by today's judgment."
Mr Slipper said the past eight months had been "extremely traumatic" for his family.
"I thank my wife, family, staff and friends for their support during this extraordinarily difficult time," he said.

how many here shoot 20ga clay targets...
I find the 20 bore an absolute blast to shoot. Both sporting and skeet, especially sporting. My 20 is a Weatherby/SKB 28" Orion Classic Field III. Reduced size frame and about 7 pounds or so. So easy to carry. No, I can't score quite as well as with my 12ga Brownings, but the gun is a delight and the small lighter loads are wonderful.
I need to start shooting the 20 a little more!!

My dad uses his 20ga. for about everything now. It holds a sweet pattern, and usually will roll a rabbit harder than my 12ga.

The lighter recoil ammo, that is now available for the 12 gauge, duplicate the 20 loads so closely, that there's probably not as much motivation to use the 20 as previously.
I was thinking about switching to the 20, too, but the 7/8 oz loads for the 12 gauge feels exactly the same, without having to buy a new gun, (not that having to buy another one is a bad thing).
Since the 12 is a little heavier, there's actually less recoil than with the 20, too.

When I started off, I shot a Rem1100 20ga skeet and a Benelli Nova for trap and sporting clays. I actually had higher average sporting clay scores with that Nova than I did when I transitioned to a 12ga semi auto. What made me switch was; One fateful day, there was a 60+ yard target, my 20 couldn't even lick em. I went back on the same target with a 12ga 391 and broke 7/8. I do down load the 12ga for skeet and close up SC shots, 7/8oz at 1200fps is close to 20ga. Now I'm happily shooting in the high 70s low 80s with a Benelli Montefeltro.

A lot of shooters shoot 7/8 oz loads in a 12ga - especially since many of us reload ....but I like shooting a 20ga ( but only in 20g events ) ....in 12 ga events, I still stick to a 12ga.....
I know its mental ...
I'd be hard pressed to give up my 20ga ... but I'd give it up before I gave up my 28ga...!!

Browning Ultra XS in 20 for targets - 30" barrels
Slugo - load yourself some 3/4oz loads - pattern well and low recoil - I REALLY like them in my 6#+ 20 SxS - they don't beat you up so much and the sporting targets die just as easily and nicely

I bouhgt an Ithaca/SKB 20 last year. It was similar to the last shotgun my father had.
While it's primarily a dove gun, the only 50 straight I can recall at Wobble was taken with it. I do shoot it a bit at sporting,too.
There's also a 20 gauge 870 here. A former "Yute" model, I restocked it with a grownup, straight grip stock. It acts like a quail gun when i point it right.
Not as good as the SKB for wobble but a fine, fun, firearm....

Dave, I would never turn down a 20 bore Wingmaster. Not a slider fan, but the 870 would be a different story...

Oneounce, my friend, I'd not sure I understand your propensity to download your guns. Next, I suppose you'll be suggesting 3/8 or 7/16-oz loads in the .410-bore. There is an optimum load per gauge (shot column diameter to length ratio). That's why there are so many different gauges. Our forefathers learned that pouring various loads down the muzzle of their big bore wasn't as effective as having guns with different bores. It's my experience, with 1,200fps loads, a 20-ga shooting 7/8-oz hits targets a lot harder than a 12-ga downloaded to 7/8-oz. The 20-ga is more efficient at 7/8-oz. As the officials keep reducing the loads used in international competition, I'm surprised that there hasn't been a change to 20-ga int'l comp guns.
Just the other day, Slugo was asking about the .410 vs. the 28. If he's really interested in shooting 3/4-oz loads, then a 28-ga gun may loom large in his future. Around here, many experienced shooters prefer 28s over 20s for doves.
I've known several shooters who do better with a 20-ga than a 12-ga, and it usually has to do with recoil/flinching. It doesn't happen so much with trap shooters because they shot only 12-ga, it happens a lot more with those who compete with the smaller guns. The typical Skeet competitor will practice with his .410 -- it's cheaper and if you can hit 'em with the .410, then other guns will take care of themselves (supposedly). For those of you with little experience shooting the .410, rest assured, it's very different than the 12-ga. After becoming acclimated to the little gun, going back to the 12-ga can be a rude awakening. For some shooters the difference between the guns is just too much. And, as my friend BigJimP mentioned, the 12-ga becomes a mental thing. My solution was to get a recoil reducing stock. It has an air unit so I can adjust the pressure so each gauge kicks the same. One of my teammates got 12-ga-psycho so bad that he chose to shoot his 20-ga in the 12-ga events. Eventually he decided to get a 12-ga Beretta gas gun. Like many others, I prefer the same gun in all gauges.

Although I prefer the 12 and 28 gauges I do get my 20 gauge Beretta 391 Sporting out every so often. I like the gun but would like it better if Beretta made this model in 28 guage.

Zippy - it comes down to saving money and bodily abuse. Since I do not shoot 410, I don't know about those loads, but I do know folks loading 5/8 in 28 gauge
After shooting 7/8 in a heavy 12, it smarts a touch in the 20 ga.Browning, and you really begin to feel it in the wooden-butt stocked 6.4# SxS 20.
Besides, one other benefit - the patterns tend to be better out of my guns with lower payloads.
Lots of folks whined when the International folks said 24 gms, yet scores went UP with the lighter loads.
The 3/4oz 20 is gaining in such great popularity, one of the major wad makers developed a 3/4 oz wad to fit perfectly.
While box pigeons may need 1-1/4 oz of 6 or 7's to be successful, clay pigeons don't need more than 3/4 to 7/8
As long as I know you have been shooting, I know you are aware of cumulative recoil effects; with some rotator issues in my main shoulder, I'd like to keep shooting as long as I can.
If I was going for the big money and top competition stuff, that would be a different story - I'd have Kim show me her strength workout...

Slugo, I certainly hope not....
This one is a creampuff and at 6 lbs, 2 oz, easy to tote. With little weight forward, I have to push the swing a bit more than with my 12s or even that SKB.
Re reduced loads like 7/8 oz 12 gauge, I like them and give up little to the bigger stuff. I would shoot 3/4 oz in my SKB if the inertia triggers would reset.
Those 3/4 oz loads are with 8.5 shot, so pellet count is fairly high.

Formerly a range of truck and van models under the Dodge brand, Chrysler recently spun RAM off as its own separate brand. Learn more about the new RAM trucks for 2013, as well as updates to the brand's existing lineup.
The RAM 1500 pickup is heavily revised for 2013, offering a stiffer frame for more towing capacity and a newly available air suspension system. Chrysler's popular Pentastar V6 engine is also offered for 2013 along with an eight-speed automatic and fuel-saving start-stop technology.
Like its 1500 stablemate, the heavy-duty RAM 2500 and 3500 are updated for 2013 to include a stiffer frame, an updated interior, and new technology like rain-sensing wipers and keyless access. The available 6.7-liter turbodiesel V8 gets a boost to 385 horsespower and 850 lb-ft. of torque, up considerably from last year.

EA Gothenburg has confirmed via its job page that it is working on a future installment of Need for Speed.
Screw Mw, I'll wait for this!
(I'm joking, this is ridiculous though!)
We need a NFS that has the variety of settings and graphics of The Run, but without all the (dozens and dozens of) silly-to-idiotic design choices made by Black Box.
Criterion's M.O., where every terrain and car feels the same is just plain boring, too. The fact they are overseeing the franchise due to The Run's failure is awful. Elevations, rain, ice, sand should affect handling, and that just does'nt happen in Criterion's world. Cars should handle completelly different based on weight, rear or front wheel, and so on (and not just on how you drift). In Criterion's games, you only need the fastest car, then you drift all day every day. There's no reason to go back to a previous, slower car. The only "variety" is using weapons or not. Boring.
Weaving and just... plain DRIVING feel awful in Criterion's games. Leave the drifting + full speed 24/7 to Out-Run and make games with actual handling, Criterion.

SCOTTSDALE, AZ — Annual predictions describing what types of resolutions people are expected to make during the coming New Year's season were announced by myGoals.com, which is a leading Web site for setting and reaching personal and professional goals. The web site based its predictions for this year's resolutions on last year's third quarter goal-setting activity.
"Things might actually be returning to normal," said Greg Helmstetter, CEO of myGoals.com. Last year, a staggering 27 percent of people's resolutions were career-related, an 18 percent increase from 2002. For New Year's 2004, however, a 9 percent drop in career goals may signal a return to business-as-usual."Deep concerns about jobs were so strong last year that career-related resolutions surpassed the usual top category, 'Health & Fitness,'" said Helmstetter. "This year, a marked drop in job-related goals shows that people are starting to focus more on other areas of their lives such as family, getting organized, and fixing up the house. That's good news for everybody."

This New Year's, "Health & Fitness" (which includes ever-popular weight-loss goals) is expected to reclaim its title as the most popular category of New Year's resolution. With 22 percent projected to have fitness top their lists, according to the company.

FMCA Wraps Up Successful 50th Birthday Rally
June 25, 2013 by Sherman Goldenberg · Comments Off on FMCA Wraps Up Successful 50th Birthday Rally
Things couldn't have gone much better for the independent Family Motor Coach Association's (FMCA) Family Reunion and Motorhome Showcase, held last week (June 19-22) on the association's 50th anniversary at an elaborate and relatively remote 1,100-acre venue called CAM-PLEX in the northeast Wyoming community of Gillette.
"It was a great event," FMCA Executive Director Jerry Yeatts told RVBUSINESS.com as he made his way home on Monday (June 24). "We had nearly 2,300 family members in attendance and we had the best number of display coaches that we've had in a long time, and I think we had some record sales as far as our indoor exhibitors are concerned. So, all in all, it was a fantastic event with plenty of celebration involving our 50th anniversary."
Recognizing the association's Golden Anniversary in Gillette was a "nostalgia room" full of FMCA paraphernalia as well as the showing in an on-site theater of old video clips from previous events and a 1973 film called "Peaceful Invasion" about FMCA members converging en masse on Du Quoin, Ill.
Also drawing plenty of attention in Gillette was a prominent display of privately owned Flxble coaches — iconic, aerodynamic units dating back to the 1950's that were converted from over-the-road buses. The Flxible has been featured in FMCA's logo since its inception.
Although Yeatts said he hadn't had a chance yet to touch bases with several outdoor exhibitors, including a good representation of North America's major motorhome builders, the word from interior vendors pitching everything from campgrounds to food processors and RV parts and accessories at the CAM-PLEX's Wyoming Center was consistently upbeat.
"It was one of the busiest events that we've had as far as traffic in the indoor exhibits," said Yeatts on behalf of the Cincinnati-based owners group. "And in speaking to many of them, they were quite pleased with the outcome of sales. As for the outdoor exhibits, there were a few that said they were pleased and one that I had a chance to touch bases with who described their experience here as 'awesome,' whatever that means in terms of sales."
At the same time, Yeatts agrees, the general picture in Gillette seemed to be an affirmation in many ways of the vitality of today's consumer marketplace with so many coaches in such a remote location – a city of about 30,000 that's been growing by leaps and bounds in recent years due to vast area reserves of coal, oil and coal bed methane gas. The Wyoming Center, a 9,000 seat arena, was completed in 2008 at the sprawling CAM-PLEX, which hosts events ranging from concerts and balls to the National High School Finals Rodeo.
Yeatts, for his part, was highly complimentary of the CAM-PLEX staff, especially in its supportive response after a fairly strong hail storm that swept across the area on Saturday, the last day of the convention.
"Well, it definitely wasn't an easy-to-get-to location for us," said Yeatts, "but I think the family members who came just had a great experience, a great time – even with some storms that came through on Friday and Saturday. We did experience some damage from about an inch and a half of pea-sized hail that fell on Saturday afternoon, which dampened the ending of our indoor and outdoor exhibits. The water actually came through the doors of the Wyoming Center. So, it was quite a storm. But, thankfully, the damage was minimal, no one was injured and we all kind of took it in stride."

If I ruled the world
By Lady Liberty
All of us live under certain sets of rules, regulations, and laws. Some of these rules make sense; many of them do not. People sometimes disregard the rules that make sense. Contrarily, they also sometimes assidulously obey and enforce those that don't. This might actually be funny if the end results were frequently less than amusing.
I don't believe that there are too many absolutes in this world where "acceptable" behavior is concerned. The one rule that I do consider sacrosanct is one that should be much simpler to follow than many have made it out to be, and that is this: You should do whatever you like as long as it doesn't infringe the rights of others. This, of course, covers everything from the most heinous of crimes to the merely annoying.
But there's a problem even with this simple notion. There are some people who claim infringement when all they'd need to do to avoid it would be to mind their own business. As much as some criminals seem intent on hurting others for their own personal gain, there are those who will impose almost any curtailment of liberty solely so that no one can do anything anywhere that might offend their own sensibilities. Personally, I see that as one of the greatest infringements of all.
That's not to say that I don't have my own sensibilities to be worried about. In fact, as I was enjoying a bit of shopping the other day, I took note of a few of those sensibilities which were being grievously offended at the time. Of course, once I got started on addressing all that was wrong in the world, I couldn't stop:
These things, of course, are merely those things I find personally aggravating. But the obviousness of each of these "rules" got me thinking about other more serious matters. And you know what? Most of those are pretty obvious, too. Consider some issues that have tied our courts and our legislatures up in knots for years:
The Second Amendment and Gun Control
Tort Reform
Federal Government
Personal Offense
Rest assured, I can think of more! But the point is — and I think you'll agree — that many things are made far more complicated than they need to be by those in power. That seems to hold true no matter which of the major parties is largely in charge at the time. Of course, there are a couple of reasons my suggestions won't work, at least not right now. The first is that there's far too much of an entitlement mentality combined with far too little willingness for personal responsibility among the general public. And the second is yet another rule.
The rule I speak of was once penned with as much combined facetiousness and solemnity as I wrote all of the above, but it's proved to be one of the truest of all. In fact, it's likely more immutable than the speed of light or the constant of gravity. It's called Murphy's Law, and it states: Whatever can go wrong will go wrong. I'd just like to add Lady Liberty's corrollary: And when politics and politicians are involved, it will go completely wrong, and sooner rather than later.

Accompanied by their daughters and church pastor, a local lesbian couple filed into the Henderson County Register of Deeds office Wednesday with their photo IDs, Social Security cards, $60 in cash and a wish.
"Carole and I are here today to apply for a marriage license," said 79-year-old Mary Burson, "because we love each other, we've been together for 40 years...we've raised eight children together and we want to make the commitment that our brothers and sisters that are heterosexual can make."
Burson and her partner, Carole Kaiser, 79, hoped Register of Deeds Nedra Moles would join a county clerk in Pennsylvania who has issued 174 marriage licenses to gay couples, even though that state — like North Carolina — prohibits same-sex unions.
The couple were testing the bounds of North Carolina's gay marriage ban as part of a statewide campaign called WE DO, in which more than 80 gay, bisexual and transgender couples have requested marriage licenses in their hometown courthouses since 2011.
So far, none have succeeded in getting one. Moles listened attentively as Burson and Kaiser thanked her for an earlier letter she had written them and for considering their request in person.
"Well, consider is about all I can do, because you both know that according to North Carolina law, I cannot issue the marriage license (to same-sex couples)," Moles said. "I've made you a copy of the N.C. General Statute, in case you would like to look at it, but I cannot do this today. So, I must turn you down."
Burson said she understands that North Carolina doesn't allow her to marry Kaiser, but asked Moles, "Is there also a law that says you can't issue a license, even though we couldn't use it?" Issuing a license would "signify that love goes beyond sex," she said.
Moles replied that she and her deputies all took oaths of office swearing to uphold state laws.
"If I went ahead and issued you a license, I would be breaking the law, and I can't do that," she said. "That's the position that I'm in, as well as all of my deputies."
Kaiser said she was disappointed and sad, adding, "I hope that one day, we can get married in our home state. That's my wish." Burson quickly added, "And that we can come before you and you will be the one who will give us that license."
Outside the register of deeds, the couple were greeted by a crowd of 70 supporters, many from First Congregational Church in Hendersonville, which the women have attended for three years. Their pastor, the Rev. Richard Weidler, wiped away tears, saying they were "wonderful Christian women" who deserved the right to marry.
Burson said that when she and Kaiser met in 1974 in Park Ridge, Ill., they never dreamed they'd be participating in a gay rights campaign. Back then, they kept their relationship under wraps, though their eight children from previous marriages all knew.
When they retired to Hendersonville in 2003, "we had lived in the closet for a lot of years," said Burson. "And we said, 'We're not going to do that anymore. We're going to be honest about who we are.'" But she added, "We've never waved a flag saying, you know, 'We're more than just friends.'"
Then a friend at church, Ann Allen, told them about the Campaign for Southern Equality's "WE DO" crusade to reverse state bans on same-sex marriage. The couple contacted the Asheville-based nonprofit and volunteered to be a Henderson County test case for requesting a marriage license.
Since Aug. 21, homosexual couples in Madison, Forsyth and Guildford counties have also asked county clerks to overlook state law and issue them licenses to marry. Four more couples will attempt the same in Mecklenburg, Buncombe, Transylvania and Cabarrus counties over the next four weeks.
"We're hopeful someone will issue a license because they feel that constitutionally, couples have the right to marry and that (North Carolina's gay marriage ban) is an unjust law," said Aaron Sarver, communications director of CSE.
In addition to the Montgomery, Pa. register of wills, Sarver said county clerks in eight New Mexico counties have issued marriage licenses to same-sex couples. New Mexico's statutes do not explicitly ban or allow same-sex unions. The state's Supreme Court will decide this month whether gay marriage should be legalized.
Kim Gallagher, 54, traveled from Auburn, Ala. to join her sister, Kathy Kaiser, in supporting their moms' efforts to marry. Gallagher said it wasn't easy growing up in a conservative community with two moms, but "they just loved me through it."
"My prayer is that my children will not experience discrimination and that they will open their hearts to diversity, in whatever regard," Gallagher said. "And I think their grandmothers have taught them how to do that. And how to be brave."

Same-sex couple tests marriage ban at courthouse

The Stetson women's basketball team returned to campus Sunday with the A-Sun tournament title and were greeted by fans, cheerleaders and the men's team.
DELAND -- They're calling it "Miracle in Macon II."
Stetson's incredible 70-64 comeback victory in Saturday's Atlantic Sun Conference Women's Basketball Tournament championship game certainly fits a miracle description. The Hatters trailed by 14 points with a little more than 13 minutes to play against a Florida Gulf Coast team that no A-Sun opponent had come within single digits of beating in 21 games this season.
But, as it turned out, the Hatters had the Eagles right where they wanted them.
Stetson outscored FGCU 34-14 in the last 15 minutes, keeping a high-powered Eagles offense without a field goal for more than 8 minutes.
It was unlike anything – even Stetson's "Miracle in Macon" two years ago – that anyone around the program could recall Sunday when some of the Hatters' most ardent fans joined cheerleaders, the men's basketball team and university officials in welcoming the team back from Macon, Ga., and it's second tournament championship in three years.
"This is right up near the top with anything I've seen at Stetson," said athletic director Jeff Altier. "The raw emotion of that game was exhilarating -- everything about it."
Even the central figure from Stetson's "Miracle in Macon" two years ago found the sequel to be more rewarding.
"I think it's more special than 'Miracle in Macon,' " said senior guard Victoria McGowan, who hit the buzzer-beating 55-foot 3-pointer two years ago to beat Belmont 48-46 and send the Hatters to the 2011 title game, which they won 69-50 over Jacksonville.
"This was truly a team effort. We kept playing, kept fighting through the adversity and put them away at the end."
McGowan and other Hatter players mingled with their fans and the university's cheerleaders, posing for photos while wearing A-Sun champion hats and passing around the title trophy.
"It can be called another miracle," said junior forward Sasha Sims, who joined McGowan on the A-Sun all-tourney team. "We've got some of the same people contributing. We came together at the right time and things went our way when we needed it to."
Stetson (24-8) set a program record with its 24th victory and earned the conference's automatic berth to the NCAA tournament, where it likely will be a 16th seed. The Hatters will learn where they'll be going and playing against when the brackets are announced on the women's tournament selection show at 7 p.m. March 18 on ESPN.
FGCU (27-6) is hoping to get an at-large bid to the "Big Dance" but the A-Sun has never had more than one team make the NCAAs before. The Eagles may have to settle for a Women's National Invitational Tournament appearance.
Hatters head coach Lynn Bria stepped off the bus after her players and was greeted with cheers as well. Bria admitted to not being able to wipe away her smile since the team's thrilling comeback.
"You know, it really was another miracle," Bria said after posing for a photo with her mom, Jo Nancy Bria, a Port Orange resident for more than 20 years. "That 'Miracle in Macon' shot was pretty special. This one is a little different in that I really saw our team come together. I didn't think I'd ever see something that would top that ('Miracle in Macon') shot, but this was pretty special."
Players from Stetson's men's basketball team also came out to greet their female counterparts. A few of them held the A-Sun championship banner in the welcome-back gathering.
Men's senior center and captain Adam Pegg said he and his teammates were as surprised as anyone with the tremendous rally by the women.
"We pretty much followed it online and were texting each other updates," Pegg said. "I was pretty surprised. I knew Gulf Coast hadn't lost a conference game in two years. I'm sure there weren't many people that believed they were going to come back and win the game. Maybe just (the players and coaches). But that's all that matters."
The upset over an Eagles team that had won its last 41 games against conference opponents will be talked about for a long time. It's worthy of another commemorative giant photo collage in the locker room hallways of the Edmunds Center.
It also was worth sacrificing the traditional college spring break as the Hatters were off playing basketball while their fellow students were off doing whatever college students do during spring break.
So the Hatters made the most of it.
"I wouldn't trade this spring break for anything," said senior guard Shanasa Sanders. "We'll have a few days off (from practice) now, so we're good."
Very good, and getting ready for the NCAA tournament.

VANCOUVER — Through the first three rounds of the Stanley Cup playoffs, the Canucks have won Game 1 on home ice each time.
That's what they battled all season to win the Presidents' Trophy for, and they're not about to relinquish that home-ice advantage. So the Bruins have to find a way to break the trend tonight in Game 1 of the 2011 Stanley Cup Final at the Rogers Arena.
"You want to start a series on the right foot and get the first win," said Vancouver forward Alex Burrows this morning. "We've had home-ice advantage throughout these playoffs and now we'd like to feed off our crowd, feed off that energy. But at the same time we've got to focus on what we've got to do to be successful in order to get the result we're looking for."
The Canucks have outscored their opponents, 6-2, in their Game 1 victories. They're 7-3 on home ice throughout the playoffs.
The Bruins, meanwhile, are just 1-2 in Game 1.
"I think it's a really big game. It means you're, apart from being up 1-0, it gives you confidence," said Vancouver captain Henrik Sedin. "It shows you can play against the other team and you don't really have to change a lot of things. You're up 1-0 and the next game they're going to have to make adjustments to beat you. So that's an advantage for sure."
However, in typical coach-speak, Canucks bench boss Alain Vigneault doesn't want to put too much emphasis on one game and how it affects the rest of a series.
"Other than you're three games away from winning that series, it's one game," he said. "Our philosophy – and you've heard me say this I don't know how many times this year – has been one game at a time. We get ready for that game, we play it, we analyze it and make the adjustments we need to move on. That's what we're going to do tonight and after that we're going to get ready for Game 2."

Saltwater Crocodiles are found in coastal rivers, estuaries, swamps and billabongs. They eat crustaceans, fish, reptiles, birds and mammals.
Saltwater Crocodiles find their food using their senses of sight, hearing and smell.
Saltwater Crocodiles silently stalk their prey or sit and wait for prey to come past. They seize prey in their jaws. Crocodiles pull their prey under the water and 'death roll' it to drown it. They only eat part of large prey items then store the rest underwater until a later time.They twist and tear off pieces of their prey. They swallow small animals whole.
Feral pigs and goannas eat Saltwater Crocodile eggs. Birds, large fish, turtles and water pythons eat hatchlings. Larger crocodiles eat other adult Saltwater Crocodiles.
Saltwater Crocodiles move around on all four legs. They swim with sideways movements of their body and tail.
Saltwater Crocodiles lay 40 to 60 oval eggs each breeding season. They lay their eggs in a mound of plants and mud.
Saltwater Crocodiles care for their young. The female guards the nest. She opens the nest when the young hatch and call out. The female carries the young to water in her mouth. She guards the young until they can look after themselves.
The temperature at which the eggs of the crocodiles are incubated determines the sex of the hatchlings:
- Less than 30° C all hatchlings are female.
- Above 32° C all hatchlings are male.

There seems to be no shortage these days when it comes to those �best-of� or �worst-of� listings. Indeed, one organization or another ranks everything from beaches to public schools; or from best places to live to tastiest hamburger.
Yes, rankings are everywhere and provide entertaining fodder for debate. Tale the Princeton Review of U.S. colleges and universities for example. It�s an annual, often whimsical look at higher education with categories such as Best Party School; School Runs Like Butter; or Best Jock School. While that doesn�t mean much when it comes to actual learning, it�s breezy to talk about. And our own Elon University often checks in well in that Runs Like Butter category.
The U.S. News and World Report rankings are taken a little more seriously and are even cause for some debate. Many in the field question the validity of what might amount to a little more than random guessing. At the same time, administrators don�t mind spreading the word about numbers that make their institutions look great.
And why not? It�s a source of pride for the schools and the communities in which they reside. In fact, it makes us proud to tout the accomplishments at Elon, which continues to fare well not only in the U.S. News & World Report ratings, but that Princeton one as well. Overall U.S. News & World Report rankings are based on factors such as admissions standards, class size, graduation rate and assessments from leaders at competing schools.
In the newest America�s Best Colleges rankings released by U.S. News & World Report this month, Elon was listed first in the �up-and-comers� category among Southern universities and made the top 46 in the United States. The category notes schools �that have recently made the most promising and innovative changes in the areas of academics, faculty, student life, campus or facilities.�
That one isn�t hard to check out for veracity at all. A drive through Elon is testament to its success in this area. The visible facilities, alone, including the new and innovative apartment-style housing for upperclassmen, speak volumes to the forward thinking by Elon�s administration.
Elon also remained second on the publication�s list of the best Southern master�s-level universities, behind Rollins College in Florida. It has held the second position on that list for six years. Elon ranked first among Southern master�s-level universities with �an unusually strong commitment to undergraduate teaching.� That ranking was based on a survey on college presidents, provosts and deans of admission.
Whatever the flaws in the rankings might be, these are very impressive results, and the many folks associated with Elon � and the high number of colleges and universities in North Carolina cited in the rankings, should be proud.
The rankings show what we know well: We have a world-class university here in our community, one that gains more respect each year for its academic quality. Elon fits in nicely with the high number of institutions of higher learning in North Carolina.

Topic Title: Maverick or Wrangler
Created on June 6, 2013 at 06:52 PM
I am considering purchasing either a Maverick or a Wrangler- my question is for those of you who own a Holland-how useful is it to be able to steam food, and how often do you use it? I haven't been a grill user really, so this will be my first one in years, and I don't know if I should pay the extra for the steam feature or save some money and skip it.
Any advice would be helpful. Thanks
Alvin C
The water in the drip pan feature is great for steaming, but for me it is even more important for cooking at a lower temperature. When the drip pan is full of water, the temp maxes out at about 250/275 degrees. Lots of thing need to be cooked at the lower temp to be tender. (Brisket, etc)
Hope this helps.
I'd get the Wrangler for all the reason Alvin C mentioned.
I've got two cart model Hollands and have used the steam feature quite a few times for steaming food (seafood and shumai) and like Alvin mentioned to lower the temp during cooks.
I've done ribs (Spare & Babyback) multiple times without water in the drip pan and they come out just fine also. I'm happier with the finished product with water in the drip pan. I have never attempted a Brisket on the Holland, I have another cooker that I'm happy with the results I get on Briskets. However I have done Beef Short Ribs with the drip pan full and they have turned out great.
I know of several who bought the maverick and after the purchase wished they had the steam feature the more they used the maverick. Buy the wrangler and you won't be sorry later.
Deacon Dash
I bought the Wrangler. My dealer didn't even stock the Maverick. He said he would order it for me but for the price difference when you included the shipping charge because it was a special order and the wait I'm glad I got the Wrangler. I haven't used the steamer part yet but I have it if I want it. I also like the smoker chip drawer as opposed to using up cooking grid for smoking chips. I love this grill!
I have just bought the Maverick and it don't have the steamer, but I don't see why we can't just put a stopper on the drain pipe to the drip pan and add water? Also, to put a can or steel bowl on the grid and steam that way?? Things I thought of as I was buying the grill, if anyone knows of any reason NOT to do this please advise. I believe it will work! and the size is great for the price and my size family!

ERA ERA: Pandora's Tim Westergren programs for individual listeners—on a mass scale.
Radio Your Way
Internet powerhouse Pandora may just save the music industry
By David Sason
LAST THURSDAY, Dominican University of California in San Rafael hosted a very different kind of town hall meeting. While no fundamentalists were apparent, a near-religious fervor pervaded the lecture hall for the latest Pandora "Get-Together," hosted by the popular Internet radio and music-discovery service.
"I'm the chief evangelist," founder Tim Westergren told the classroom with a laugh. No wonder, since Oakland-based Pandora is today's premier online radio service, boasting 35 million listeners across the United States, with 65,000 new registered listeners a day.
It's readily obvious by talking with the young-looking 43-year-old that he enjoys his job. Back in 2000, along with Will Glaser and Jon Kraft, the Stanford graduate began the ambitious Music Genome Project, a scientific examination of songs using vectors and algorithms that eventually led to the creation of Pandora, a music aggregate that dispenses songs in the form of "stations" that are completely unique for each listener.
First, a listener picks an artist or genre to create a "station." The user's tastes are determined each time he or she clicks "thumbs-up" or "thumbs-down" buttons indicating preference; the "skip" button is neutral. To ensure exposure to new music, no more than four songs from the same artist are played in a three-hour period on any given user's station.
"Every submission gets a listen," Westergren says of the 12,000 new songs that come in per month, "but it has to be good." To increase critical consistency, each of Pandora's 50 music analysts typically holds a four-year degree in music theory and undergoes a rigorous 100-hour training regimen.
Such an innovative approach to radio engenders interesting challenges, as with eclectic artists. "A station based on Frank Zappa doesn't work very well," Westergren says, "and Beck is a pain in the ass, musicologically speaking." The technology can sometimes be jarring, as in the case of a young man who was irate that a Celine Dion song played on his Sarah McLachlan station.
After Westergren verified that all the variables worked, nothing was left but the ugly truth. "His last email said, 'Oh my God, I like Celine Dion!'" Westergren laughs. "We don't put much stock in cultural prejudices."
Just as admirable is Pandora's bucking of major record labels. Westergren says that "77 percent of our artists are independent." As a touring musician himself for years—he played in a band called Yellowwood Junction—Westergren hasn't forgotten the musician's struggle to make a living. Through Pandora, he says, he can offer a new revenue stream for artists.
While Pandora makes money from ads on its site and commission from music sales through iTunes and Amazon, the company has never advertised, relying purely on word of mouth. When the Copyright Royalty Board ruling tripled its required royalty payments in 2007, Pandora was saved by its supporters, with 400,000 letters and faxes reaching Capitol Hill in three days—more than those protesting the Iraq war.
"This is definitely disturbing, but it's fine for us," he says, and resulting negotiations enabled Pandora to stay afloat.
This devotion was fully visible at Dominican, with people of all ages thanking Westergren. "You nailed it," a middle-aged lady gushed. "I've had really strange taste my entire life, and now I've gotten into so much new music!" While one older gentleman found Pandora's classical offerings too limited, most were elated with the service.
According to Westergren, Pandora's biggest competitor is traditional radio. "Those are the listeners we want," he says. "Most of our listeners are in their 20s and 30s, but our fastest growth [is with listeners who are] far older. And they're no longer being served by the broadcast industry."
Pandora supports the controversial Performance Rights Act, which would require radio stations to pay royalties to musicians. Pandora already does this. "We think the performer should be paid for radio play," Westergren says simply.
While Pandora isn't profitable yet—Westergren hopes to be by year's end—its achievement remains a scintillating reminder of why music fans should run the music business. "You will never hear a song on Pandora because a record label told us to," Westergren told the group to rapturous applause.
That's an algorithm that deserves a huge thumbs-up.

It was a relief to see a crisp blue sky yesterday morning after all the brooding grey skies we've had all week. Mad weather really. It's back to being miserable now but it was a welcome breather to have this yesterday morning.
Today I have a "Finally Finished" post for you: the granny stripe lap blanket I've made for my Great Auntie. She's my grandma's older sister. You may remember that I made a lap blanket for my grandma two years ago (sometimes it is odd going back over my blog, I like to think that my crochet and photos have improved a bit over that time …) and she said recently that it is invaluable, and warms her up in the evenings so I thought I'd make one for Auntie Joan too. I put it on my gift list as a possible "if I have enough time" kind of present, with the back up idea of sending her an amaryllis if I didn't have enough time. Well I needn't have worried! With the exception of the edging, which I did the other day, the main blanket part took me just over a week. I hadn't realised how quick granny stripes are to make and will certainly be making another one. In fact, I already have. Hey, I have three friends having babies next year, I need to get a wiggle on!
I did my usual pointy picot edging for the blanket. I like it and I know it works, I'm not in any rush to learn a new edging. I like that it's not to twee or frilly. I don't see myself as a twee or frilly person and am always reluctant to inflict it onto other people when I give them things that I've made.
My yarn, as ever, was Stylecraft Special DK in the following colours:
It sounds like a very tasty blanket, in my opinion. Again I wish that I could take credit for the colour scheme but as I said before, my inspiration is 100% per cent stolen from here.
I didn't chose the colours in any order, I just went with what felt right and looked pretty at the time. I do really love the last few rows though, it reminds me strongly of a rainbow despite it not being in rainbow-y colours.
It's interesting how colours work and don't work with each other. When I started crocheting I didn't really have any idea of how it worked, but it's a skill that I'm getting better at. I find it interesting with this colour combination that the blue and the green are so vibrant and glowy when on their own they are actually quite dull, flat colours. Aster in particular is not a blue that I generally favour but here it's lovely. I will tell you this too, I have also used this colour combination in one of the many projects that I will have to wait until after Christmas to show you. (This is the problem with blogging in December! I have things to show but I can't show them to you yet. Ah well, at least the week after Christmas is sorted blogwise!)
Yes, I am pleased with this blanket. You'll have to forgive the rubbish photo of the whole blanket, the light was poor yesterday and I can't re-take them because I have actually managed to post it already. I know! I'm as shocked as you are. I posted this, one of the secret Christmas gifts and another gift yesterday. Although I do lose points for the third one as it is the Baby F blanket I showed you weeks ago. I intended it to be a "congratulations on being born" present but am now so late that it is a Christmas present instead.
Before I go, I just want to take a moment and say: This is my 400th post. Crikey. Thanks for being great readers :-)

How to make your computer play Japanese games (Windows XP settings)
Some games allow you to play Japanese games with certain settings, others might be quite different. Just to be safe, here are screenshots under the "Regional and Language Options" in Control Panel that it should be set to:
1. Change all regional options to Japanese
2a. Be sure East Asian fonts are installed
2b. Check installed language settings
3. Check Languages on Advanced

I have yet to come across a Japanese game that would require a change of Standards and formats to Japanese (first screenshot).
Also--and this was the only example that I came across--ef - the first tale. required me to switch the timezone to JST (GMT/UTC +9), otherwise it wouldn't start.

I'll keep walking.
Anyway, thanks for the guide, KJ. Much appreciated.
But perhaps you should consider adding an Applocale quick guide for those of us who'd rather use that, too.
( I do realize not all games run well under Applocale, and I always have problems with Winrar while trying to mount and extract files that have Japanese characters in them - and yes, the only way to fix that is to change your Non-Unicode settings to Japanese. )

For good measure I'm going to add a bit here on how to use AGTH and Atlas to translate game text into english on the fly. I used the example of Prism Ark here from a PM I sent someone regarding how to use AGTH:
First you want to have your AGTH.exe file in a folder that is preferably near the Prism Ark.exe file. Now, make a shortcut for your prism ark exe file and right click it and select properties. Heres where it might get a little bit tricky. Under the shortcut tab you should find a line of text in a box with the word target to the left. That's the address your shortcut is pointing to. Click on it and go right to the beginning of that line. Now in Quotation marks, type out the address of your AGTH.exe file. You will also need an /h code to hook the text for Prism Ark due to it being offset between other bits of data, which I will include. Also, if you are using Atlas Translation Tool, your want it to copy to clipboard to make it easier, so that would mean entering the command /c.
Thus, for example, if you put the AGTH.EXE file in the program files section in a folder called AGTH and the Prism Ark folder in it's default location, your shortcut bar would now read:
"C:\Program Files\AGTH\AGTH.exe" /HBC@479600 /c "C:\Program Files\Pajamas\p_ark\P_ARK.exe"
Now, when you open up the AGTH program, you should see a bar along with the program and it should have an address and then say WideCharacterToMultiByte. When the text starts appearing in game, you are going to want to click the drop down option, and if the /h code was entered correctly you should see an option labelled USERHOOK B. Select that and the game will start hooking your text. Other drop down options give different threads of text, one of which is your items and Prism description and battle text.
Now, If you open up Atlas Translation Tool and select the quickatlas option you should get the icon in your quicklaunch bar, right click it and select Automatic Clipboard Translation. Because you chose to have AGTH automatically copy text to the clipboard, Atlas should be translating the text as it comes up in the game. It won't be a perfect translation, but it was enough to save me many times in games I would otherwise have no idea what I'm doing.
Now normally most games won't use a USERHOOK B and will only require textout A or something of that variety. Sometimes there are multiple text threads so you just have to find the on that works for you. Most games don't require an /h code either and merely require you to put in the /c portion to copy it to clipboard, which Atlas will then translate. This way you get portions of translated text as it comes up. In this case the shorcut line from the example would normally read.
"C:\Program Files\AGTH\AGTH.exe" /c "C:\Program Files\Pajamas\p_ark\P_ARK.exe"
Games that do require a /h code can be found within:
Spoiler for /h Codes for games. Credit goes to Mastress Alita from Boy's Love Games Headquarters:
Make sure you put in any /h codes before the /c as the commands will initialize in that order, and since /c is normally the last thing you would need to do, the game will crash on bootup as the code becomes scrambled.

Great information! That explanation of the practical use of the /h option of AGTH was very helpful, in fact.
Concerning AppLocale, I wonder... What exactly does AppLocale do? Does it attempt to simulate both Standards and formats and the Language for non-Unicode Programs, or just the second one, or is it something else? I'd like to be able to use AppLocale so that I don't need at least one of those two, because it seems like it could cause trouble to my overall system (for instance, I read at http://web.archive.org/web/200604262...e_setting.html that it could affect DOS applications).

I've never tried AppLocale, so I won't be able to help you with that, sorry. Do note though that some games won't work with just AppLocacle.
Oh, and to add to the list, Crossnet's Happy Margaret works only with both Regional and Language and non-Unicode settings set to Japanese.

I use applocale and it works. The one to choose from the droplist in the prog is the last one. Thats japanese. ^^
Applocale pretty much runs the program with everything japanese. Except for your keyboard. But it works. Some might say it slows down performance or that you can't trust it. I didn't experience anything bad with it so far.

I was wondering if there was a way to get Japanese local games running without having to install the language files, or a manual way to install them.
I put a game on my ipod for college but the college computers don't have east asian fonts installed, and the've disabled being able to install them or even installing new fonts to the "Fonts" folder in control panel.
Tried applocal but it didn't work either.
Is there a way i can extract the files manually from my C: Drive, put them on my ipod and install manually at my college computer?

Even if you manage to install it manually, you won't be able to play. The reason why you need to change the setting is to display the kanji's, without it you'll get crap ( unreadable runestone stuff ).

Any ways i thought i would add this too . http://reversed.tistory.com/6 is another guide. Although i couldnt figure out what was going on, Still is a good guide for people who can figure it out .
I also had a question. I played around with AGTH for few hours, But still couldnt get the text hooker to work. I want to get the text from the game to the AGTH, so that i can copy the text and use google translator to translate it for me. However i havent been able to do it.
This is what i did . First created a short cut of the game, then do as you said .
C:\Users\name\Documents\AGTH /c "C:\Users\name\Documents\Overflow\SchoolDays\SD.ex e" /HW-20@30270:FILMEngine.gem:
i also tried this too,
C:\Users\name\Documents\AGTH /HW-20@30270:FILMEngine.gem: /c"C :\Users\name\Documents\Overflow\SchoolDays\SD.exe"
after doing all of these, Both of the school day shortcuts would redirect me to the AGTH folder. Then after i opend AGTH , well there was no option to pick.
I am so confused. Would you know what i am doing wrong?
Edit : Ok so far i have been able to link the two. I copied the location of the shortcut of the game and then pasted in the target location of AGTH so i got :
C:\Users\name\Documents\Overflow\SchoolDays\SD.exe /c "C:\Users\name\Documents\Overflow\SchoolDays\SD.ex e"
Now when i click on the AGTH shortcut with the above location, Both AGTH and the game open . However still there is no text.
Also i tried it with the /hcode and i got
C:\Users\name\Documents\AGTH\agth.exe "/HW-20@30270:FILMEngine.gem:" /c "C:\Users\name\Documents\Overflow\SchoolDays\SD.ex e"
However , here i get an error saying Hook base module not present , and then both AGTH and game open ( but not text). There was no error when i tried to open it without the /h code that i just wrote

I should mention that when you are linking a game to AGTH that you have to have the quotation marks surrounding both the address for AGTH and the games exe. That's four quotation marks altogether and any extra pieces of code go in the middle. Once that's done you will only start getting the appropriate text in the window once it appears and you click the drop down menu to select the appropriate thread. The thread won't appear if there is no relevant text on screen so it's pretty easy to find which is the right one. It's almost always TextOut A or one of the GetGlyphOutline A's or GetTextExtent Point A's.
For some special systems like Alicesoft's it's different. Alicesoft is like Square in that they don't use standard coding procedures for their engine the rather complex (for eroge's anyway) System 4.0 and thus the usual address' don't apply. AGTH's makers actually had to go out of their way to make a special subroutine just for their games so this shouldn't be a problem if you are using one of the newer versions of it. In general with the System 4.0 the appropriate selection is actually System40.
The first option that comes up is DrawTextExW, which is actually just the text in your window heading as it's been drawn by the video card on your screen. Move the window to see what I mean.
Simple solution. Load the game, get in game, use the drop down bar in AGTH and click through every thread that ends in anything but DrawTextExW until you find the right one.

BIRMINGHAM, AL – The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) today filed a federal challenge to Alabama's draconian anti-immigrant law. Modeled on Arizona's infamous SB 1070 but taking it to even greater extremes, the Alabama law is considered the most pernicious anti-immigrant state law to date.
The DOJ lawsuit follows on the heels of HICA v. Bentley, a class-action challenge asserting that the law is unconstitutional on multiple grounds, filed on July 8 by MALDEF and a coalition of civil rights organizations. On July 21, the coalition filed a request that the court block the law from taking effect, pending a final ruling on the law's constitutionality. The hearing to determine whether the court should enjoin the law has been set for August 24, 2011 in the civil rights coalition case.
The following statements can be attributed to various members of the coalition:
Victor Viramontes, Mexican American Legal Defense and Education Fund National Senior Counsel:
"It is appropriate that the Department of Justice has sued to block Alabama's illegal and discriminatory law that unfairly targets Latinos."
Linton Joaquin, general counsel, National Immigration Law Center:
"Today, the federal government rightly asserted that states cannot lawfully ignore the U.S. Constitution and enact their own sweeping immigration laws. Alabama's law - like its ideological predecessors in Arizona, Utah, Indiana, and Georgia - is an affront to our American and constitutional values. We welcome the federal government's challenge, and we look forward to continuing our own legal battle to permanently remove this law from Alabama's lawbooks."
Sam Brooke, attorney, Southern Poverty Law Center:
"It has been clear from the start that this law is blatantly overreaching and seriously flawed. We welcome the federal government's involvement in preventing this dangerous and costly law from going into effect."
Cecilia Wang, director of the ACLU's Immigrants' Rights Project:
"We applaud the government for taking action to stop Alabama's anti-immigrant law. Today's lawsuit will help protect the civil rights of Alabamians against legislation that mandates unlawful police searches and seizures in the name of immigration enforcement."
Olivia Turner, executive director, ACLU of Alabama:
"We welcome the federal government's effort to block Alabama's unconstitutional HB 56. We hope this law will be enjoined, just like the law in Arizona that inspired it."
Erin Oshiro, senior staff attorney, Asian American Justice Center, a member of the Asian American Center for Advancing Justice:
"It is encouraging that the Department of Justice decided to challenge Alabama's anti-immigrant bill. This move sends a strong signal to Alabama and other states that the federal government takes its immigration authority seriously and serves as a warning to states considering these types of unconstitutional laws."
Pablo Alvarado, director, National Day Laborer Organizing Network:
"The suit filed by the DOJ is an acknowledgement of the civil rights crisis caused by the Arizonification of our country and deepened in states like Alabama and Georgia where they have built upon Arizona's laws. We welcome the administration's action but see it as treating the symptom rather than the illness. More easily than court proceedings, President Obama could bring relief to our communities with the stroke of a pen."
Attorneys on the case include Brooke , Mary Bauer , Andrew Turner, Michelle Lapointe, Dan Werner, and Naomi Tsu of the Southern Poverty Law Center; Cecillia D. Wang, Katherine Desormeau, Kenneth J. Sugarman, Andre Segura, Elora Mukherjee, Omar C. Jadwat, Lee Gelernt, Michael K. T. Tan of the American Civil Liberties Union and Freddy Rubio of the American Civil Liberties Union of Alabama; Joaquin, Karen C. Tumlin, Tanya Broder, Shiu-Ming Cheer, Melissa S. Keaney, and Vivek Mittal of the National Immigration Law Center; Sin Yen Ling of the Asian Law Caucus; Oshiro of the Asian American Justice Center; Foster Maer, Ghita Schwarz and Diana Sen of Latino Justice; Thomas Saenz, Nina Perales, Viramontes, Amy Pederson, and Martha Gomez of the Mexican American Legal Defense and Education Fund; Jessica Karp of the National Day Laborer Organizing Network; G. Brian Spears, Ben Bruner, Herman Watson, Jr., Eric J. Artrip and Rebekah Keith McKinney.
Founded in 1968, MALDEF is the nation's leading Latino legal civil rights organization. Often described as the "law firm of the Latino community," MALDEF promotes social change through advocacy, communications, community education and litigation in the areas of education, employment, immigrant rights and political access.

The latest rage among the celebrity set is oxygen facials. These specialized facials are basic facials using a special machine which delivers concentrated atomized moisturizer to your skin. The claims are that your skin will look younger, healthier, and have a huge dose of antioxidants delivered transdermally into your body.
These facials cost on average $100-$200 more than a basic facial and are offered at several high end reputable salons. Celebrities swear by them but are they really worth it?
Dermatological and scientific studies show that there is no evidence that these really work as well as they say. Experts say that skin cannot absorb oxygen so there is no way it can penetrate and make your skin healthier and younger. Any possible benefits that show up on the skin afterwards can be attributed to the basic facial itself and the possible plumping effect from the oxygen, but these will most likely be very temporary results.
These facials will not hurt you, so if you have the funds and inclination to have an oxygen facial – go right ahead, but why spend all that money to get no real result? Using a good quality skincare line, eating a healthy diet, and maybe getting the occasional basic facial will give you the best results for your skin.
