Voters will decide Nov. 2 whether state judges will be able to deny bail to defendants who pose a danger to the community and would face life in prison.
After a crazed man killed four Lakewood police officers in a coffee shop last year, many in the community felt terrified and powerless.
Because of a constitutional amendment on this November's ballot, they will have a chance to exercise some power: deciding how certain risky defendants will be funneled through the judicial system.
Maurice Clemmons, who had a violent criminal history, faced four felony charges and possibly life in prison when he was bailed out of Pierce County Jail on Nov. 23. Six days later, Clemmons stepped into the Forza Coffee Shop and assassinated Sgt. Mark Renninger and Officers Ronald Owens, Tina Griswold and Greg Richards.

In response, lawmakers proposed amending the state constitution, which says all persons accused of a crime are entitled to bail except those charged with aggravated first-degree murder. Approval requires a simple majority of voters.
The proposed amendment, Engrossed Substitute House Joint Resolution 4220, would allow a judge to deny bail to persons charged with an offense punishable by life in prison such as a third-strike felony, rape of a child, murder or other serious crimes.
Before denying bail, a judge must also find clear and convincing evidence that the defendant has a propensity for violence and poses a likely danger to the public.
Rep. Mike Hope, R-Lake Stevens, a veteran Seattle police officer, was one of those who got the amendment started. It would deal with dangerous habitual offenders like Clemmons, he said.
"You have a person facing a third strike and life in prison and he's been arrested," Hope said. "It didn't make sense he would be released into society for a crime spree, knowing he had nothing to lose."
Pierce County Prosecuting Attorney Mark Lindquist, like the governor and many in law enforcement, supports the amendment.
"The bonding company is taking a risk, but the community is at risk, too," he said. "The only solution is the constitutional amendment coming up. The judge should be able to say, 'No bail.' "
But Seattle University law professor Robert Boruchowitz said amending the state constitution won't prevent another Lakewood shooting.
"It's an overreaction to … a tragic event," he said. "It's a bad idea because it would expand the number of people in jail, even though they're presumed innocent."
He emphasized that court rules now in place give a judge the ability to keep someone in jail by setting high bail or placing other restrictions on a defendant deemed to be dangerous.
Boruchowitz also said the language of the amendment is broad and ambiguous, with no definition of "propensity for violence."
Typically, a judge sets bail and a defendant pays a bail-bond company a nonrefundable premium to be released from jail with the promise to appear in court.
Many Washington bail companies charge much less than the typical 10 percent of the bond and accept shaky collateral and installment plans from defendants.
Despite his lengthy criminal history, Clemmons was able to get out of jail three separate times last year.
Jail Sucks Bail Bonds of Chehalis was criticized for bailing out Clemmons shortly before he gunned down the four officers. His family and friends paid $8,000 on a $190,000 bond.
But John Wickert, the owner of the company, said he never would have written the bail had he known Clemmons was facing life in prison and had several previous felony convictions.
Wickert supports the amendment. "I don't want anyone out who is going to be a risk to the community."

A new market study conducted by research firm Newzoo indicates that trading games is the most popular game of all. More than half of the 82 million gamers in the U.S. don't spend money on games, and of the 44 percent who make game purchases around 85 percent regularly purchase pre-owned titles. Around 23 percent of the game-buying public spends 23 percent of their gaming budget on pre-owned games says Newzoo.
The report also predicts that the DLC market will be worth $960 million in US sales by year's end. Around 12 percent of money spent on games in the US goes towards DLC, according to Newzoo. The research firm also predicts that U.S. and European consumers will spend $1.7 billion on DLC in 2011.
Publishers and developers often lament about the used games market because they don't make money off anything but the first sale. Obviously they have turned to code-based systems as means of charging a gateway fee to those who buy used and want to play online.

MODULE R: The Concept
MODULE R is a concept store dedicated to transformable art and design. We collect pieces from all over the world that are customizable, reconfigurable, expandable, stackable, nested, interchangeable, interactive and modular (or evocative of these themes). Among the items we display are accessories, furniture, housewares, children's playthings and furniture, cookware and tableware, jewelry, books, storage systems, space dividers, floor and wall coverings, and artwork. Our catalog features work from some of the world's top brands as well as uncommon items from less well-known designers and artists.
Where We're Coming From
We are often asked where our retail concept came from. Architecture, we answer. That's because the company's founder, Donald Rattner, is an architect and principal of the firm Studio for A.R.T. and Architecture (but you know that from visiting this site).
Let us explain. In 2001, Mr. Rattner was commissioned to design thirty identical cottages for an historic spa resort in West Virginia. To meet the project requirements the client directed that the structures be constructed out of prefabricated modular units. This was something largely unfamiliar to Rattner, who until then had designed buildings chiefly assembled in the field, rather than in a factory.
Delving into the subject to learn more, Rattner became exposed to an array of inter-related themes derived from emerging technologies, from open source design to computer-aided-manufacturing to mass customization. In exploring these subjects Rattner broadened his interest to include the other fine arts as well as product design. He soon discovered there existed many outstanding works of art and design embracing the new tenets of modularity and personalization. He also observed there was no central marketplace dedicated to this particular product genre. MODULE R was founded to fill that void.
A Store is Born
MODULE R opened its flagship store on November 17, 2011 on the street some have called the Champs-Elysees of Brooklyn, and others call Atlantic Avenue. Yes, you really could see the Atlantic from the foot of the Avenue just a few blocks away (okay, technically New York Harbor). This put us on the boundary between Brooklyn Heights, New York's first landmark district, to the north and Cobble Hill, equally brownstone-beautiful, to the south. Boerum Hill, Fort Greene, Dumbo and Downtown are other nearby neighborhoods, each with their own attractions and character.
Sadly, we were not able to sustain the store, perhaps because everyone was shopping on Amazon. So we closed it in March 2014 to focus exclusively on the webstore.

Marigold Natural Remedy
Are you thinking of growing Marigold flowers? Marigolds are very popular amongst herbalists and gardeners alike. They are not only beautiful, but they serve as a healer for many illness and health complications. Marigold is also called Calendula Officinalis, or Pot Marigold. Marigolds flowers are bright and cheerful colors of yellow and orange. You probably have seen them in a garden at some point in your life. People generally use Marigolds in the form of a tea infusion, lotion, compress, creams, supplements, and even as a mouthwash. Marigold tea is a nice treat and you can even use the petals off of your Marigolds garden plant to make a blend. You can add Marigold flowers and leaves to your own potpourri mixture. There is nothing better than finding a home remedy in your own home, or in your backyard. It works as an anti-spasmodic, anti-fungal, antiseptic, astringent, anti-inflammatory, and even detoxifies the body.
There are a variety of uses for, and benefits of Marigolds and they can treat numerous ailments such as:
If you suffer from inflammation and swelling through the condition of Rheumatoid Arthritis or Osteoarthritis, Marigolds might be a dream come true. This herb can reduce the inflammation. Use a topical cream or lotion with a high density of Marigold in it.
Marigold can be highly beneficial when it comes to the treatment of sunburn, scratches, sores, closed wounds, bee stings, insect stings, bruises, and cuts. It is a great remedy for most skin problems and complications.
If you have a sore throat gargling with Marigolds might be the answer for relief. Ask an herbalist about liquid Marigold.
Provides relief for pelvic congestion.
Marigold works as an infection fighter. When supplements are taken, the body's immune system becomes stronger and can fight off common colds, flu, urinary tract infections, bladder infections, and more.
Marigolds flower has also been helpful in the treatment of varicose veins because it works as an anti-inflammatory and reduces the pressure in the veins.
Heals chapped lips quickly.
Reduces swelling in the skin.
Marigold has been taken to treat eye infections such as Conjunctivitis.
This popular herb is useful in the treatment of stomach upset and nausea. Try taking it as a tea infusion.
Side effects of Marigold include a possible interaction with other medicines you may be taking. Allergies can occur in some rare cases. Allergy symptoms include redness, itching, swelling, inflammation, shortness of breath, wheezing, watery eyes, and dizziness. It is important to know that there may be alcohol and sugar added to liquid forms of the Marigold herb. If you are alcohol dependant, or suffer from liver complications, do not take Marigold without talking to your doctor first. It is important to consult with your doctor before trying any new herbal remedy treatment. Pregnant women and nursing mothers should always check with a doctor before attempting to take herbs in any form. Some people may have allergies to certain herbs, and this can be avoided if you research and talk to a doctor, as well as a licensed qualified herbalist.

NRDC: Fixing a Broken Law
Q&A with Daniel Rosenberg, senior attorney in NRDC's public health program in Washington, D.C., and director of its toxic chemicals reform project.
The conventional wisdom seems to be that reform of the Toxic Substances Control Act is dead in Congress.
I don't agree with that view and I don't really trust it. All our major environmental laws took years to get through Congress. In the past two years, we've seen significant reform bills introduced in both the House and Senate. This year we plan to build on that progress, and things are off to a reasonably fast start. NRDC president Frances Beinecke testified about TSCA reform before the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee in February, and Senator Frank Lautenberg has introduced a revised and improved version of last year's bill. So there's no reason this can't be a live issue. The opponents of reform, who include many in the chemical industry, like to say "it can't be done" in the hopes of stifling momentum. It's important not to fall for that kind of spin.
Why do you think this issue is being revisited now after being dormant for so long?
I think two of the main drivers are the adoption of broad chemical reform policies in Europe and around the world and the dramatic rise in reform efforts at the state level -- most of which have had overwhelming bipartisan support. Maybe even more important is the growing body of scientific evidence of all the ways in which chemicals may harm our health, their potential effects at very low doses, the combined effects of exposure to multiple chemicals, and the confirmation that we carry hundreds of chemicals in our bodies, even at birth.
Do you see reform of TSCA as inevitable in the long run?
Yes. It reminds me a bit of the Middle East, where you have all these corrupt, repressive regimes that have been around for 30 or 35 years, about as long as TSCA. Things that seem as if they will be around forever can change very quickly. Doctors and scientists are so concerned about the lack of action by policy makers that they are becoming more outspoken; there's a marketplace revolt by consumers who don't want to buy unsafe products; and large retailers like Walmart don't want to go on carrying them. I don't know if TSCA reform will ever have its Tahrir Square moment exactly, but if people occupied the National Mall for nine days demanding TSCA reform we would get something passed and sent to the president's desk pretty quickly!

Can you post an image, too? I'd like to see the result and don't have photoshop.
-Rob A>
I promised I'd post the results of my attempt to emulate the style of map in this image:
Here is the PSD file I created.
It's not meant to actually be a map just an attempt to demonstrate the techniques used. I used a heightmap similar to my previous tutorial (GlennZilla's Own Little World) and a lot of layer masks.
For example to paint the forest into place I used this brush
I simply created a green layer with some noise on it and painted with the brush on the Layer Mask.
Similarly I painted the areas to have the "pebbles" texture on a layer mask. The trick to getting the Texture layers to work right is to use a layer filled with black with the blending mode set to "Screen". This way only the white highlights added by the texture are visible. Conversely you could use a white layer set to "Multiply" to make the shadows visible.
I think it gives everyone a sense of how I did it at least. Now I need to look into incorporating this into my new world and cough up a decent regional map before D&D 4.0 is released.

Sure thing! I'll get it uploaded this afternoon. No Photoshop at the office any longer.
Here's a JPG screen shot showing the Layers Palette.
The "pebbles" layer is a black fill with the blending mode set to "Overlay". "Multiply" and "Screen" also work fine as they alternately add the shadows or highlights from the texture created by the Bevel and Emboss layer style, set to the standard pattern "Wrinkles". The area affected by the texture is controlled with a layer mask.
The "Mountians" layer is a lighting effect I created like in my previous tutorial.
The "Forest" layer is a green fill with some Gaussian noise added. There is a layer mask there as well. On this one I used a paint brush with the settings in the earlier image. This created the forested look.
The "Desert" layer is simply a painted layer adding the desert color. In the future I'll probably use a layer mask to allow me to use different blending modes and layer styles.
The "Grassland" layer uses a green fill with Gaussian noise similar to Forest layer. On this one I did use the layer mask to control where it appears.
The "Land" layer is a painted layer with the browninsh color of the mountians and beach. IN the future I think I'd use a layer mask here as well so that I have a ready made selection for all the land areas.
The "Oceans" layer is simply a blue fill, though in the future I would add some kind of shading to make the littoral areas of the water obvious.
And the bottom layer is the clouds I rendered and used for the lighting effect for the mountians layer. Just in case I want to double check elevations need guidance when drawing in the rivers.
The "
Thanksm for the image.
I think the use of layer masks is key to any of thechniques, to provide maximum flexability in allowing changes at a later time.
Have you figured out how to apply rivers on this yet?

Yeah, I was just going add another blue layer with similar layer masks and an inner glow in the layer styles.
This is great! And thanks for the PS file, from us PS users!

"Keep your mind in hell, but despair not." --Saint Silouan [1866-1938]
In replying to another thread I realized something. All us raster based cartographers should remember three concepts, working in layers, layer masks andnon-destructive editing.
Working in layers allows you a great deal more flexibility to change things later and most folks that work in in these programs pick this up pretty fast.
This project is a good example of how I used the layer masks to dictate where the forests would appear and make it easy to alter the color or look of the forests laster if I change my mind without having to re-do them.
Non-Destructive editing is something that people that learned in paint programs and hand drawing often have some trouble getting thier heads around.
The idea is that if you want to change the color of a layer, you can either re-paint it with a new color or add an adjustment layer to tweak the colors. The primary difference between the two methods is "Undo ability". If you realize the change was a mistake reasonably soon after you do it, simply undoing it will work fine. But if you realize it after you've already done something else that you don't want to loose or that step is no longer available in the edit history, you'll be stuck. But if you used the adjustment layer it's a simple matter to readjust it or remove it entirely.
I see photographers doing this the worst. They like to adjust the brightness and contrast of an image and find an option for that in the menus of Photoshop. However they end up permanently adjusting the image this way. If they used an adjustment layer they'd be able to adjust it later or even apply a layer mask to limit it's effect. Undo is handy but it's not exactly a time machine.
Glennzilla, who made the map of the Fathusra Wilds that you're trying to emulate?
Whoever made it, it's a beautiful map, to be sure. I'll probably make my next map similar in style to that.
http://www.cartographersguild.com/showthread.php?t=1417 Post number 7.
I saw it and thought it was a great map and that I wanted to figure out how to make mine similar. So I took this shot at it. If you've got some time to tinker I'd bet it's possible.

By Molly Parker
Published Jan. 20, 2009
Bernard Groseclose announced his resignation today as chief executive of the S.C. State Ports Authority during a closed executive meeting of the board.
Despite his abrupt departure, which is effective immediately, both Groseclose and board members said the resignation was voluntary.
"I'm sure that would have been handled differently had it been an ultimatum," said Groseclose, who has overseen the port as president and CEO since mid-1996. He joined the port 10 years prior as manager of business analysis and later served as director of planning and development.
After 23 years with the SPA, Groseclose said he "no longer found the job to be as rewarding as it once was."
"I think everybody ought to have fun and enjoy what they are doing or look for something else," he said. "I wanted to find something else of value to do."
Port turmoil
The Port of Charleston — one of the state's most powerful economic drivers — has in recent months has been the focus of intense scrutiny as container volumes have fallen and Maersk Line has announced it will be departing from Charleston when its contract expires at the end of 2010.
Much of that scrutiny has been targeted at Groseclose. His detractors accuse him of poor community and industry relations dating back to the failed Global Gateway project slated for Daniel Island, and for his refusal to bend on political calls to privatize the port.
Gov. Mark Sanford was one of the loudest voices calling for privatization of all or portions of the port and moving toward a model that is the norm across the nation.
In South Carolina and Georgia, quasi-state entities manage port operations, but, in most states, the infrastructure is owned by a public body and the day-to-day operations are managed by a private company using labor from the International Longshoremen's Association. Groseclose and others have maintained that South Carolina's model gives the state a competitive edge.
Governor supports resignation
Sanford spokesman Joel Sawyer said the governor did not seek Groseclose's resignation but that it was "not unexpected given recent news."
That list of "recent news," Sawyer said, included Maersk's announcement to leave, a drop in container traffic and the controversial bonuses recently awarded to port executives and rank-and-file employees for meeting pre-established performance goals. Groseclose received a $27,000 bonus on top of his $264,000 annual paycheck. His bonus was the largest.
"We do fully support the board in their decision and will be taking an active role with the board members to find a replacement," Sanford said. "We believe this does represent an opportunity because we believe private investment will be the only way to be competitive."
Governor, union agree
On this point, free-market Republicans such as Sanford and union representatives find themselves in a rare place: on the same side of a debate.
Ken Riley, president of ILA Local 1422, called Groseclose a "nice enough guy" but said the two differed philosophically about how to best move the port forward, including on the issue of privatization.
"I hope this gives us the fresh start we're looking for," Riley said in a phone conversation from Washington, D.C., where he was attending the inauguration of President Barack Obama. "I can't envision that the board would select someone without the energy and compassion and readiness to take on and turn around a port and get it back to where it needs to be."
Senate President Pro Tem Glenn McConnell also has been calling for privatization studies but said he is waiting to find out whether this move signals a change in direction for the board. After all, McConnell said, the executive director serves at the pleasure of the board members, which are appointed by Sanford.
"With change under way at the port in personnel, that is about personality over who will head up the port," McConnell said. "What I'm waiting to see is if the board is going to change its policy and put an emphasis on jobs and economic development rather than just the bottom line for itself."
Chairman: Groseclose not ousted
As the board looks for a new chief executive, SPA board member John Hassell has been named to serve in the interim. Hassell said he will temporarily step aside from his role as president of the Maritime Association of South Carolina, a position he has held for 15 years, and refrain from voting on board matters during his tenure. He plans to remain a member of the board, however.
"We knew that it might happen, and I was asked if I would do it if the situation ever came about," Hassell said. "I can't say that it hit me for the first time today, but today was the first time the board asked me to do it."
Board Chairman David Posek called Groseclose's departure "sad in one sense" and applauded his leadership over a port he called "the most efficient in the nation" with regard to its turnaround time for customers.
With Groseclose at the helm, the port has experienced significant growth since 1996. Revenue has increased from $71 million that year to $165 million in the 2008 fiscal year. Container cargo volume increased from 1.1 million 20-foot-long containers to 1.69 million. The annual value of cargo shipped has grown from $27 billion to $61 billion. Nevertheless, Charleston has slipped behind other East Coast ports, namely its rival competitor, the Port of Savannah.
Asked about the nature of Groseclose's resignation, Posek said, "I don't think there's any productive nature in speculating on that; he just turned in his resignation, and that's what we reacted to."
Pressed again as to whether Groseclose's resignation was forced, Posek said "no, absolutely not."
Still, others in the maritime community had a hard time buying that. Pat Barber, chairman of the Charleston Motor Carriers Association's board, said, "There's no doubt in my mind this was politically motivated." He praised Groseclose's leadership and said "that good effective leadership is measured in the downturns."
"I think he's a scapegoat, and I think everybody was looking for a scapegoat," Barber said. "We've lost a good man, but we need to move forward. We've got a great port, and we need to continue to promote that port. He'll land on his feet."

Nanny helps stop Folsom home burglary | Crime
FOLSOM, CA - A burglar was arrested Friday afternoon after a nanny getting to work heard a noise at the back of the home on Fratis Street.
Andrew Christian Heitmeyer, 23, was arrested as he tried to run from police, Folsom police said.
When the nanny heard the noise, she called to her employer, thinking it was him. However, when the employer came home, the homeowner looked around the home and found that he was burglarized.
As the nanny and homeowner looked though the home, they encountered Heitmeyer, who fled the home out the back sliding door, Folsom police said.
A neighbor chased after Heitmeyer when he tried to break into the neighbor's home.
Folsom police eventually arrested Heitmeyer on one count of burglary. He was booked into Sacramento County Jail and held on a $130,000 bail.

Art Is What You Make - Off The WallWritten on May 1, 2008
I seriously wonder what the heck so many of these self-proclaimed artists are thinking when they create. I mean, I'm as open-minded as any when it comes to people's views on expressing themselves, despite what vehicle (and I mean vehicle as a form or style) they choose to channel their thoughts through. In fact, I even like a lot of it-especially the creative ideologies of some far-out thinkers. I, too, am aware of the fact that they are not creating to please. Still, the line has to be drawn somewhere. At some point this stuff is nothing but over-hyped crap.
I'm sorry, but splattering paint on a blank canvas from across the room is not art. Nor is standing atop a building and dropping paint on a canvas. Another form that comes to mind was a piece at the college I attended, Cal State Long Beach. It was a 30-foot pole, roughly 3 inches round, folded in half and mounted on a concrete pyramid. With both ends pointed, the figure looks like nothing more than an elongated oval made of tubes, yet it was considered modern art-so much so, the college paid to make it a part of the identity of "The Beach" by placing it in a courtyard.
How about this, before Yoko Ono became the kryptonite of the Beatles, she was, in fact, an avant-garde artist. One of her crown jewels is dubbed "The Ceiling Painting." In this piece of art, Ono set a white ladder in the middle of a room. Upon reaching the ladder, viewers climbed it. Above the ladder hung a magnifying glass that when looked through allowed one to view the word, "Yes," written in tiny letters on a framed piece of paper fixed to the ceiling. Now how is that art? How is any of that art? My neighbor's 3-year-old kid exhumed more creative energy when he doodled a symbol (that apparently was suppose to signify my name) on the back of a puzzle piece and handed it to me, saying it was mine to keep. When Patrick Swayze ripped that dude's throat out in roadhouse-that was even more artistic! At least he was creative in his combat tactics. If there are no restrictions to enter the realm of modern art, then I propose that my garage art, and everyone's garage art, are true forms of art that should be taken seriously.
What it all boils down to is that I like to build and make things-especially making something for pure fun with no pressure, standards, or deadlines. Until now, I never really looked at this stuff as art, but rather as a hobby. Usually what I decide to make is a direct result of what I have lying around my garage. Oftentimes it really boils down to what I need to get rid of from my garage. I'm not big on throwing things away that have potential. My latest form of artistic expression comes in the form of an entertainment center for my house that revolves around the old tailgate from my '71 Chevy. The tailgate is just a tad bit abused to be used in the automotive realm anymore, but its dents and patina give it just the right amount of Americana character for artistic furniture. The gate sits on a bare steel constructed frame. Within the frame are two shelves constructed from 3.4-inch square tubing and expanded metal. The plan is for all of my audio and video equipment to sit on the shelves-so the top of the tailgate can double as a mantle for random objects. Instead of leaving the front side of the piece open to show off the AV getup, I've made a webbed door out of 1.4-inch steel rod to hide everything. Adding some flare to the web is the fact that I have brazed it together with brass. Nothing extreme, but, nonetheless: art.
I bring this up because a lot of guys and gals around the country partake in the same type of hobby as I do and I think we have the masses needed to start a "Garage Art" movement. In a society that seems to celebrate mediocrity, in terms of art, this new form of expression is bound to hit hard. If nothing else, it's interesting and exciting to look at. Ok ... I'll get off my soapbox now. -Dakota Wentz

Steven was recently interviewed (Feb 2013) by well‑known endurance cyclist and former RAAM Race Director George Thomas – listen in at Over The Top Radio Boulder, Colorado.
Over The Top Radio Interview, Feb 2013
Jim Williams & Race Across America
"HIV does not make people dangerous to know, so you can shake their hands and give them a hug: Heaven knows they need it."–Princess Diana
First a story: It started with a group of HIV positive men riding in Race Across America (RAAM). They came upon a real small, old, mid-western town in a desolate part of the country. For some of the team this is the hardest part of the whole ride. A ride with a race route over 3000 miles, touching 14 states and climbing over 140,000 feet, RAAM is considered one of the toughest endurance races in the world. It's not the blistering cold, the never-ending roads, pounding rain, or the gusting winds that deters these riders. It's the looks & snarls from people in these places who- just don't understand. This time was different.

Very nice interview done last week. The whole interview goes for 16:48 min but every second is worth listening...
Why we do RAAM
Don Smith, one of the four original racers of Team 4HIVHope, answered this question last year at the end of the race. His post below said it all...
July 6, 2011
There are many amazing and memorable moments that occur during an event like Race Across America. Some of those moments are very public, like posing for photos at the finish line or the cheering of spectators along the way. Other moments are very personal and far from the glare of spotlight; it is these moments that are most meaningful to myself when I reflect on my week with my team at RAAM. In particular, there was one very special chance meeting with a man that happened to me in middle America.
I rode into a timing station located somewhere in small-town Missouri. I was surprised to see spectators there since it was such a warm day. One of our crew brought over a spectator and told me that this man had been waiting hours for our team to arrive and that he wanted to give us some gels that he purchased for us. I did not want what he offered me but I took them anyway and thanked him for his generosity. The crew member left us alone and I was getting ready to dismount my bike and walk away when the man pulled me closer. I don't remember everything that he said but the key point to his story was about the many challenges he faced as an HIV+ man in living in small-town America. How he had to keep his health status a secret and therefore felt quite isolated and alone within his community. In fact, all of his medical treatment was conducted clandestinely in the closest urban center. He then told me that our team's participation in RAAM had inspired him and given him hope. I could see the tears welling up in his eyes. He gave me a big hug and then slipped off into the milling crowd at the timing station.
To me this was the true purpose for doing RAAM. To be able to touch one person's life in a way that inspired them or at least gave them some hope. Everything else (and there is a lot) is just a whole lot of icing on a very large cake.
Good work was done by the Team4HIVHope and I am honoured to have been a part of it.

Manila, Philippines – President Benigno S. Aquino III will sign the proposed P2.264-trillion national budget for 2014 on Friday, December 20.
This was disclosed yesterday by House Majority Leader Neptali "Boyet" Gonzales II during the weekly Ugnayan Sa Batasan forum. "The President will sign the budget on Friday. I already got the invitation from Malacañang," he told the reporters. Davao City Rep. Isidro Ungab said the Congress-ratified spending bill is now being reproduced in preparation for the President's signature, noting that it has 3,225 pages.
As scheduled, the House of Representatives ratified the 2014 budget, which Bayan Muna party-list Rep. Neri Colmenares claimed remains ladden with a total of P1.2546 trillion presidential pork barrel. He continuously scoffed at Malacañang's gesture not to itemize the lump sum funds in the national budget for 2014.
He said while this is good news for the allies of President Benigno S. Aquino III, it is a sad news for those who were affected by past tragedies that hit the country, branding the P14.6 billion supplemental budget, which was ratified by Congress and was already transmitted to the presidential desk as a "presidential pork."

Lambert: No dent in confidence and belief despite Arsenal loss
Paul Lambert insists the 2-1 loss to Arsenal has done little to dent the confidence and belief in the claret and blue camp.
Lambert called the defeat at The Emirates "harsh" as his side played with gusto throughout.
And he says he won't need to pick his players up because the performance level was so high in an engaging contest in the capital.
He said: "The belief is there. We have been playing well for a number of weeks.
"We should have seen the game through at Everton and West Brom and we should have got something in the Newcastle game after the second half.
"The West Ham win then gave us a massive lift.
"We have been beaten today. But with the performance, we will take great heart from it.
"The confidence is there, that's for sure. And we are playing well enough. The way they are playing is a very, very high level.
"If we can keep playing like that? I don't need to rebuild the confidence after that. But I haven't for a number of weeks now. The confidence is there.
"The team were excellent against Arsenal. I don't think we deserved to get beat.
"We looked a threat throughout the whole game. In the first half we should have scored. But the way the lads played, I couldn't fault them.
"I thought they were excellent throughout.
"I felt we should have scored more than one goal. And I thought we should have been in front at half-time. I thought we were unlucky to be down.
"But we came out in the second half and went again - and got the equaliser. The equaliser was a brilliant finish, from a fantastic counter-attack.
"I then thought the one when Christian went through, he maybe should have slipped Andi in. A bit more care and we maybe would have got another one.
"But we certainly didn't deserve to lose the game."
Meanwhile, Lambert revealed Ron Vlaar [calf], Darren Bent [foot] and Shay Given [strain] all missed the game through injury.
He will assess them in training now ahead of the Man City game.

The Central Mississippi Residential Center in Newton celebrated its annual Day of Diversity Tuesday.
The day was filled with presentations on various countries around the world, from people who are from those countries.
The countries represented were Cameroon, Tanzania, China, Russia, and Turkey.
"We live in a big world, and the world, right now, is without any walls, so without nay limits and boundaries," said Oksana Mahecha of JSU International Studies. "And it's important in order for us to understand each other better and definitely to have a dialogue to have a conversation."
Following the presentations that described the countries and their cultures was a fashion show demonstrating the clothing worn in the countries.

Rugged, affordable tools for dirty jobs.
Posted 26 November 2012 - 08:46 PM
But let's say that you also observe in very, very harsh environments at times. Very cold, very hot, very windy, very moist, very dusty, etc. The kind of conditions that, given time and exposure, would take their toll on your nice stuff.
I'm going to snag an f/5 mass-market Dob for use during my semi-annual dark sky camp-outs, and want some "guiltless use 'em and abuse 'em" eyepieces to go along with the dob. Here are my requirements.
I want reasonable correction for astigmatism at f/5. I also won't be using Paracorr, so there will be some coma no matter what, so I don't need Nagler/Ethos levels of correction. I want three or four eyepieces, including a 2" finder eyepiece, a one or two medium power, medium or wide field eyepieces and a single higher magnification eyepiece. Figure the focal length of the scope will be between 1200mm and 1500mm. I'm not looking for massive high magnification at the short focal length end, either. Maybe ~250x tops (I want a high power eyepiece that I can use every night rather than only occasionally).
The other key restriction is this: I do not want eyepieces that cost more than $100 each. That includes the 2" finder. So with that in mind, please make your recommendations.

I had to tear it apart to make the bearings bigger and also open the bottom to make a tailgate, new truss connectors and make new uta. I'll probably bondo the sides and paint everything black.
I hate mass produced small bearings.
it packs up sooooooo nicely in my civic.
and best of all I would mind kicking it down the stairs [without the optics]
I just fitted it with uhmw instead of teflon and its static/dynamic frictions are relatively equal, but it is stiffer than teflon but still smooth.

Also, because it's an obstructed scope, I suspect the 30mm would offer less risk of seeing the shadow of the secondary. I do like the full set price for the Sterlings though.

I will just say this:
These trips represent the best conditions you are likely to experience during any given year. Take your best and enjoy it because this is when quality equipment can really shine. Coma and astigmatism are partially hidden by less the pristine skies, when the skies are dark and clear, the difference between "affordable" eyepieces and the good ones are most noticeable.
I might spend an evening in my backyard with my TV Widefields and TMB Planetary's but the Naglers always go to the dark sites.... I bought 'em to look through, not look at.

9 and 6mm Expanse clones from Owl or Agena
With a 1250mm 10 inch f/5 econodob this would give 42x with a 1.4 degree field, 74x with a 0.8 degree field, 139x with a 0.5 degree field, and 208x with a 0.34 degree field.

So, what does the Eyepiece Hooligan himself think would be the best choices?
Posted 28 November 2012 - 01:28 AM
I always considered it as a weapon, and it tended to live in my duffel in a bolt case, rather than in one of the EP cases. I am like John, I bring my good stuff out for the few times I get to dark skies, and here is about as dusty as it can get at some of the desert sites, even up at RTMC there is this fine dust that gets on everything. So yeah, I have to clean the 31 nagler from time to time. The 1rpd is at the ready as a projectile. To have similar effect, an 8mm plossl would require more velocity and impeccable aim.

9 and 6mm Expanse clones from Owl or Agena
With a 1250mm 10 inch f/5 econodob this would give 42x with a 1.4 degree field, 74x with a 0.8 degree field, 139x with a 0.5 degree field, and 208x with a 0.34 degree field.
The 6mm and the 9mm Expanses are good choices for a 10 inch F/5, surprisingly wide FOV and quite well corrected. I don't know about the Sterling Plossls.
I am a bit surprised that will all his eyepieces, Jim does not already have a second string set just for such occasions. I have a second string set that has seen a lot of use, a lot of miles and yet it does a decent job in a fast Newtonian. It's the set I take to the beach when we have a bonfire, I took it with us when we recently did a 7000 mile trip car-camping around the west, I didn't have the space for my main set.
It looks like this:
32mm, 24mm and 15mm TV Widefields, 9mm, 6mm and 4mm TMB Planetary's a 2X Celestron Shorty Barlow and a Lumicon Deepsky filter.
The TV Widefields are a bit spendy but for several years they were my best eyepieces, lots of warm memories and I still use the entire set quite frequently.

Get a good finder scope instead. I have a 70mm short tube achromat which I mount on my 10" f/4.8. I insert an Amici prism for an erect and correct image, and use an Orion illuminated reticle eyepiece. I also put a reticle/crosshair eyepiece in the main scope's focuser. Then I align the finder scope to the main scope using the two reticle/crosshair eyepieces. This way I reach a very close alignment.
After that, I don't need a finder eyepiece. I just use the finder! All I need to do is place the location of an object at the crosshairs of the finder scope. Even at mid-to-high power, that object will be in the field of the main scope.
I use my wide-field low-power eyepieces to view big stuff and star vistas. I never use them to find an object. That's the job of my finder scope.

Good, all-around useful and inexpensive eyepieces: AT Paradigms.
+1 I foolishly sold my Paradigm pairs a year or so ago when I thought that I was done with binoviewing. I plan to grab a couple more pairs, as well as a couple of singles for my travel kit.
I also agree with the above comments on the 9mm Expanse clones.

So, you'll expose yourself to those conditions (it takes a toll on YOU too), but be gentle to the equipment? Nah, if I'm gonna abuse myself, my equipments gonna suffer right along with me.....

Personally, I prefer wide field eyepieces especially with a dob. For the shorter focal lengths you could buy some ES 82 degree eyepieces and not really compromise.

We're looking for Double-A ball players here. Puma-fodder. Mojave Green bait. Doubles nicely as a golf tee for driver practice.

Agena 2" Ultra Wide Angle (UWA) Eyepiece - 20mm (30mm without the barlow)
Agena 1.25" Enhanced Wide Angle Eyepiece - 9mm
Agena 1.25" Enhanced Wide Angle Eyepiece - 6mm
I had those Orion Expanse clones and gave them away considering I wouldn't use them because I ordered the 10 and 6mm Delos. Silly of me. They were very decent, easy viewers and lightweight eyepieces to abuse.
I also enjoyed the Agena 1.25" Super Wide Angle (SWA) Eyepiece - 20mm. You might get this one with a Agena 2" Super Wide Angle (SWA) Eyepiece - 32mm $195 for all 4 eyepieces and maybe half this amount for used ones.

Olympic Bar and Weight Plate NOT Included
Valor Fitness LM-7 Portable Post Landmine Trainer - The LM-7 Post Landmine by Valor Fitness is a portable Olympic bar training tool that is designed to insert into any Olympic plate for performing core strength training movements and functional training exercises indoors or outdoors. Getting started with the LM-7 Land Mine is as easy as inserting your Olympic bar into the landmine sleeve and then positioning the solid steel post inside the center hole of any Olympic plate or rubber bumper plate. Use the Post Landmine to perform T-bar row and bent over row training exercises for an intense back workout. For vigorous core training and more explosive strength workouts involving weighted bar presses and swings, double up your weight plates for a heavier anchor base to support your landmine post. Now, you are no longer confined to training with a landmine permanently attached to a power rack or heavy welded base plate. The small size and light weight of the portable landmine allows you to take your cross-training routine anywhere you can find an available weight plate. Take your field training to new extremes with the Valor LM-7 Landmine during outdoor boot camp. Pull a bumper plate off the pile in the crossfit area of your gym and easily incorporate advanced functional training into your WOD between sets of deadlifts and other Olympic weight lifting exercises.

ROCKFORD (WIFR) – Coming off the heels of one of the deadliest months in Rockford history, a federal lawmaker is stepping in to help end the violence. A new report shows our state has one of the highest rates of gang activity in the country with a lot of those crimes reported right here in Rockford.
From murders, to drive-by shootings, it's been a constant battle to keep Rockford's streets safe. Police say more than half of recent violent crimes are gang related, so Police Chief Chet Epperson along with other law enforcement leaders are pushing for harsher punishments for gang members and repeat offenders.
"This really takes it to another step. Do some target hardening on those thugs that are out there who are shooting innocent victims in the city of Rockford, it's unacceptable."
U.S. Senator Mark Kirk is also joining the fight. The federal leader, met with Epperson and members from surrounding police departments to discuss how to stop the violence.
One idea is to create a special task force, made up of federal, state, and local agencies. The group would meet weekly and push for longer jail time for convicted gang members.
Don George, a chaplain with the Winnebago County juvenile detention center says he isn't convinced harsher sentences will help.
Prevention is always the best way, yea intervention says it's place and it'll never go away, but to prevent something, I believe we can stop it before it gets started.
George says police should focus more on gang prevention programs for youth to keep them off the streets and out of jail.
Although overall crime is down in Rockford, Chief Epperson says violent crimes, including gang violence, has gone up.
It's not just the police department making efforts, some community organizations are also trying to help. We spoke with workers at Booker Washington who say they're trying to start an anti-gang and bullying program in November, something that Ceasefire may help with if they are funded.

Meridian, Miss. Safety was the number one topic Wednesday at T.J. Harris Elementary School.
Mississippi Department of Transportation, Meridian city officials, along with school officials, were on hand to accept tools to enhance safety routes to school.
Ward 4 councilwoman, Kim Houston, says this is just one step in the Safe Routes to School program.
"This part of it is the stop signs, the slowdown cones, those things we need to make sure that when children are walking, they are getting here safely," said Houston.
The infrastructure work is also underway, funded by an MDOT grant.
Houston says she is planning another 'walk to school day' soon, to help encourage children who live close enough to campus to walk to school.

Does the brand name for leg warmers and arm warmers matter? I was thinking about getting some Nashbar, or some other house brand warmers. Nashbar is better known but the other is like $10 cheaper
Does the brand name for leg warmers and arm warmers matter? I was thinking about getting some Nashbar, or some other house brand warmers. Nashbar is better known but the other is like $10 cheaper
I puchase a lot of things from Nashbar, their clothing leaves something to be desired, I haven't had any luck with it. My advice to you is to buy good cold weather gear because you are the one that will suffer when it fails, there's nothing worst than being cold on a ride.
Achieve your goals: Attitude is everything:
All depends on your ego...
Speed Kills...It kills those that don't have it!
So you are saying, you dont like nashbar clothing? I was considering going with Pearl Izumi. I like how their warmers have fleece inside, but on the the down side, for arm, leg and knee warmers, it will come out to 60 bucks. Jezzzz, thats expensiveOriginally posted by mrfix
I puchase a lot of things from Nashbar, their clothing leaves something to be desired, I haven't had any luck with it.
Im' not saying I don't like the clothing, I'm saying the clothing I purchased from Nashbar has failed or not done what it was advertised to do. The pearl amfibs are good covers but they have cloth bottoms and get cold below 40 degrees, I just picked up some trek ones with neoprene uppers and a gum robber sole, I think they will be better when it gets cold. (below 40F). Name doesn't matter, look at the covers, some less expensive ones are actually warmer and that's what counts.
Achieve your goals: Attitude is everything:
FWIW... not Nashbar related but Performance...
I recently purchased some arm and knee warmers from Performance. The arm warmers are fine, I would recommend them as they do what I want them to do - keep me warm and stay in place. However, steer clear of the knee warmers IMO. Although they are warm, I'm disappointed in how after ~100 miles of use they have already lost much of their stretch and no longer stay put.
I plan to purchase the knee warmers by Sidi to replace the crappy Performance ones.
Do any of you guys recommend ASSOS????
I've used PI knee, arm, and leg warmers for 2 years. The leg warmers have the fleece inside but the arm and knee warmers are plain lycra.
they all have performed well for me. Kept me warm and so far no noticeable stretching or quality issues. Just one thing though...I have trouble keeping them up on my thighs. The grippers don't seem to like my hairy legs all that much. When shaved though, they stay put just fine.
I had some Trek brand leg warmers circa 1995 that were inexpensive and lasted me about 4 seasons until they stretched out of shape. I'd have to say that I have gotten my money's worth from the Pearl Izumi and Trek gear. I hope the Pearl Izumi stuff will last as long.
Hope this helps.
P.S. Assos is probably great but if my wife found out how much I paid for anything of theirs I'd probably end up on the couch.
I've been using the Pearl Izumi leg warmers on my evening rides...they're great! They stay up, they don't stretch out, they are very warm (fleece lined), they look damn good (perfect shape, stitching, and fit), and they make make me faster! What more could you want for $40? Got mine at an outlet store.
"I WIll Shoot You On Site!" ;)

In November of 2015, her father went in to her room to discover she had taken her own life.
Back in their days, Presidents Theodore Roosevelt and William Howard Taft were known for trust-busting. In an era of price-fixing, crony capitalism and corruption their actions helped to create more opportunities in the marketplace by creating competition.
