Despite its author's creditable attempts at pricking the bubble of hyperbole which has attended White Teeth ever since (and even before) its publication (Hamish Hamilton, 2000), Zadie Smith's first novel is often overshadowed by the media event into which it was fast transformed and the various misrepresentations and expropriations to which it has been subjected at the hands of critics, academics, social collectives and political groupings. So much is it so that the novel's own undistorted voice is barely heard amid all the hysteria it almost certainly had no wish to provoke. Similarly, despite winning two prestigious literary awards, the 2000 James Tait Black Memorial Prize for fiction and the 2000 Whitbread …

Windhoek — The police have now arrested five people suspected of robbing Standard Bank at Otjinene on Wednesday midday and also recovered a total of N$171 870 of the reported estimated N$215 000 that was stolen from the bank.
The last suspect was apprehended yesterday on the way from Windhoek to aid one of the suspected robbers who was initially at large, but later arrested.
Omaheke Regional Commander Josephat Abel confirmed this to New Era yesterday but could not provide names of the suspects, as they were yet to appear in court.
He however revealed that the suspects hailed from Windhoek and Oshakati.
"These criminals are not new to robberies; they operate as a syndicate and some have outstanding robbery cases," said the regional commander.
Abel said a police officer and one of the suspects were injured in the process of arrest but were in stable condition.
"I am intensifying my operations in the area," he said, adding that he would not tolerate members of his units being injured as in this case where an officer almost lost his teeth.
Abel asked the community to work closely with his office and urged the business community in Otjinene to take the necessary security measures so that they do not fall victim to crime.
The commissioner issued a stern warning that his office would not leave any stone unturned to apprehend would-be robbers, cattle rustlers or other criminals in the region.
"They must rehabilitate themselves or face the consequences," he warned.
He said he would also work with other regions to identify syndicates.
The spate of crimes in Otjinene has been worrying residents of the sleepy town that it may have become a gateway for criminals.
Last year, four men and a woman were arrested for robbing a shebeen of goods worth over N$40 000, while also in May last year, six people were arrested for a case of attempted kidnapping.
The police at Otjinene had to call in help from other units nearby after the group overpowered them and destroyed state property.
In 2010, burglars broke into the post office at Otjinene and stole N$150 000.
Otjinene Regional Councillor, Adolphus Kangootui, complained at the time that security had become a big problem in Otjinene.
He said even though the town was small, there was always potential to make money and "thieves can see that".
He attributed the criminal activities to poor security management and said some businesses hire security guards but then do not pay them for months on end, which leaves the businesses unprotected and vulnerable to all types of crime.
Kangootui said most of the perpetrators of crime were not from Otjinene but did not rule out the possibility of accomplices from his town.

3/19/14 Justin Bieber's Excuse
Find me on Facebook: Jake Emily Poyet Webb
Wednesday, March 19, 2014
MICK JAGGER paid tribute to L'WREN SCOTT in a Facebook post by saying, quote, "I am still struggling to understand how my lover and best friend could end her life in this tragic way . . . I will never forget her." Meanwhile, the ROLLING STONES have postponed their entire Australian tour.
JUSTIN BIEBER has a FANTASTIC excuse for being unable to walk in a straight line following his DUI arrest in January: His foot was messed up. According to newly released court documents, Justin told the cops that he was unstable during his sobriety test, because he had a hairline fracture in his right foot from a skateboarding accident three months earlier. It's unclear if Justin's fracture was also responsible for his LEAD FOOT on the Lamborghini's gas pedal. --The documents also say Justin was a punk . . . once again . . . while talking to the arresting officer. Justin told him, quote, "I'm 19 years old. I'm just out having a good time." The cop replied that HE wasn't driving around in a Lambo at that age . . . to which Justin responded, quote, "Yeah, well, I bet you didn't have millions of dollars in your bank account either."
A man claims to have a sex tape of Kris Jenner and he's trying to get money from her. The man approached Kris over a week ago claiming to be in possession of a sex tape starring Kris. He said he wanted money or he was going to release the video. Sources say the man has called Jenner more than one hundred times in the last seven days from more than 100 different phone numbers. The sources say she's afraid the man is watching her and the family has stepped up security since.

DESTIN - Two Chicago men arrested in Destin on Aug. 25 are believed to be part of a large scale theft ring, authorities say.
The large, organized ring has accounted for an estimated $100,000 worth of fraudulent activity, according to a media release from Okaloosa County Sheriff's Office.
The men, 18-year old Kristopher Charles Leake and 25-year old Edmond Brandon
Frazier, are each charged with grand theft (retail) and fraud.
Okaloosa County Sheriff's deputies were called to Destin Target for suspicious activity, according to the release.
The arrest reports are available here.
A regional fraud investigator for Target Corporation said the two men, spotted at the store in Destin, were believed to be part of a ring involved with altering or modifying receipts and returning merchandise.
The men are accused of altering receipts to return single items at the price of two of the items. Each man received more than $1,200 in fraudulent returns in Destin, according to the arrest reports.
The men's vehicle was searched and investigators found wireless baby monitors, Bluetooth equipments, numerous Target bags, receipts and other items, the release said.
An active multi-jurisdictional investigation into the scheme is underway.

I'm not going to bother replying to the Android-sucks-posts below me, it's simply repeating what I just said and this thread was only created to decide wether C-Squarez should get an iPhone 4S or a Galaxy S II. I choose S II, you choose 4S. Fine?
Android in its current form has no chance to have the same quality applications like iPhone has. It is not just because of the fragmentation or the look, but the Android programming environment.
Roughly 8 years ago when the first programmable mobile phones were launched on the market, all of them supported Sun's Java (first it was called J2ME, now the name is Java ME, i.e. mobile edition).
The Java applications were simple and slow. Simple because initial Java ME application programming interfaces (APIs) were very limited and slow because Java virtual machines that time were interpreted real-time by the CPU (which were clocked just around 40 MHz). Interpreted Java is roughly 10 times slower than native code (native code is compiled directly to the specific CPU, which is platform dependent).
During the years many new Java ME APIs were added to the stack, but even big vendors like Nokia used only a limited set of these APIs and the available APIs were different on each device. This was the cause of the big Java ME fragmentation.

So you prefer the stale and locked down iOS that only half asses new features?
Posted 10 October 2011 - 13:47
Furthermore, if you happen to have a Mac, keeping the eco-system intact might improve your experience as well.
Do you care about iCloud? If so, don't underestimate it.
Damn, iCloud will change my mobile life a LOT and it's going to be awesome.
Glassed Silver:mac
Seriously? Name something useful to everybody that iOS "locks down"... And no, Flash isn't a good answer.
If you think iOS is more locked down than any other mobile OS, then you need a reality check...
I'd rather have a sizable set of polished features than a huge mess of features that are buggy and lack quality.

Not sure what's better -- the auditions or the nutty antics between Nicki Minaj and Mariah Carey? Regardless of which, this season has proven to be very entertaining so far.
Auditions were held in the Windy City -- the same town that gave us Jennifer Hudson, if this place could produce the Oscar-winning superstar, surely there must be others.

The investment seeks to match the performance of the Russell 2000® Index ("Russell 2000 Index") as closely as possible before the deduction of fund expenses.
The fund employs a "passive" management, or indexing, approach, designed to match approximately the performance of the Russell 2000 Index before the deduction of fund expenses. It invests at least 80% of its net assets in a statistically selected sampling of equity securities of companies included in the Russell 2000 Index. The fund does not necessarily invest in all of the securities included in the Russell 2000 Index or in the same weightings.

Worcester, Mass. - Five different goal scorers lifted Holy Cross field hockey to a 7-1 victory Tuesday night at the Hart Astroturf. Freshmen Kara Gonnerman (St. Louis, Mo.) and Brittany Gildea (Warren, N.J.) led the Crusader scoring, each scoring two goals.
Holy Cross struck early as Gonnerman scored her first goal of the game assisted by Courtney Callahan (Acton, Mass.), with 33:57 remaining in the first half. Jessie Cullen (Norwich, Vt.) scored the Crusaders second goal of a corner shot with Eli Skovron (Exeter, N.H.) and Katie Rowelenson (Webster, N.H.) both recording an assist. Alanna Sikorski (Glen Gardner, N.J.) notched the Crusaders' third goal of the half, assisted by Sara O'Coin (Worcester, Mass.). O'Coin scored the fourth Holy Cross goal unassisted with 5:54 left in the first half.
Lisa Heimerle (Smithtown, N.Y.) scored the lone Siena goal, assisted by Carli Atkinson.
Gildea scored her two goals back-to-back with just under four minutes left in the game. Her first goal, assisted by Lauren Coletta, gave the Crusaders a 6-1 cushion over Siena. Gildea notched her second goal unassisted with 58 seconds left on the clock.

The Youth Exploring Solutions (YES), a non-for-profit, passionate and voluntary youth-led development institution organized its fifth Academic Excellence Award program named and styled 'Mary Antoinette Brown Sherman Academic Award' on Friday, 22nd February 2013 for the first semester of 2012/2013.
Mary Antoinette Brown Sherman served as president of the University of Liberia from 1978 - 1984 and became the first female president of a major university on the African continent. She was a beacon of hope, a symbol of courage, a character to emulate, a visionary and a campaigner for justice.
The program was held in the Chapel of Ebenezer Christian Academy located in Red light, Paynesville City and brought together over one hundred fifty award recipients from ten high schools in the vicinity of Paynesville, school administrators, as well as a host of dignitaries.
This award is biannual and designed to inspire and recognize secondary school students from 6th to 12th grade, who earn 85 percent and above semester or yearly average. It is also intended to promote academic excellence, enhance motivation, encourage scholastic activities and foster good citizenship thereby developing self-confidence, leadership and motivation to achieve full potential.
Serving as keynote speaker, Dr. W. Kpangbala Sengbe, Sr, Principal Director/Chief of Staff of the Liberia Maritime Authority outlined the importance of academic excellence in the development and advancement of post-war Liberia. He narrated vivid examples about how the pursuit of academic excellence in school has and continued to play a pivotal role in his life.
He cautioned recipients of the award to be more studious and avoid being complacent. The motivational speaker further encouraged students to make use of every opportunity to foster their education as Liberia needs sober, mature and dedicated young people who are willing, qualified and competent to take up the mantle of authority in shaping the country's future to a noble destiny.
"The provision of basic social services, financial aids, and abundant natural resources will not move Liberia forward unless investment in human resource development that would ensure the construction and installation of facilities to enhance social services, sustainable development and equitable distribution of resources for the common good of all" Dr. Sengbe noted.
He maintained that young people especially students should abolish the consumption of alcoholic beverages, early sexual intercourse and other social vices which he said could derail their thinking ability and make them resort to unacceptable societal norms. He urged students to look for role model and emphasized the importance of reading as an integral component of education.
The Principal Director/Chief of Staff applauded the Youth Exploring Solutions for such a wonderful and remarkable initiative and called on benevolent individuals and humanitarian organizations to help the youth group, which is primarily a self-sponsored organization.
For his part, the Founder/Executive Director of YES, Stephen B. Lavalah congratulated award recipients for their success thus far and admonished them to muster the courage so as to make the challenges and demands that lie ahead.
Mr. Lavalah asserted that in spite of enormous challenges in the educational sector as evidenced in the results of the West African Examination Council exams for the past five years, massive failure of students in university and college placement examinations couple with malpractices or collusions in most institutions of learning, unavailability of qualified instructional staff, inadequate text books, lack of libraries and basic infrastructural facilities on most campuses.
"There are still some students who burn the midnight candle and are performing exceptionally well in their lessons and need to be motivated" he added.
The YES boss emphasized that positive academic motivation helps a child succeed in school and to see that learning is rewarding and important in all aspects of life. He further explained that through the award program nine students from secondary schools in Monrovia and its environs have received scholarships.
Meanwhile, the youth advocate is calling on the Government to invest in education at all levels; stressing that only trained and skillful minds can achieve the vision of a new Liberia in making it a reality and being a part of the changes.
Speaking during the program, Bai Best, Marketing Manager of the Daily Observer newspaper challenged the honorees to remain focused, determined and steadfast in their academic sojourn. He advised students to take their lessons serious and cultivate a spirit to always improve in whatever undertaking.
Also making remarks, Hennistta W. Nyangbe, Volunteer of the President Young Professional Program urged students to persevere in all aspects of their academic endeavors. She recounted her experiences and warned youth especially girls to comport themselves in accordance with acceptable standards and international best practices.
The administration, faculty and staff as well as award recipients expressed thanks and appreciation to YES and further appealed for support to be given in all its forms to enable and empower the organization to carry out its mission, vision and core values.

QCS - Quick Cargo Service predicts further expansion
Frankfurt-based freight forwarder QCS - Quick Cargo Service enjoyed a very successful 2011, reports CEO Dieter Haltmayer.
At 49 million euros (US$65.7 million), revenue was up by 11.5 percent over 2010. The cornerstone of this success, he noted, was the 32,000 tons of air frieght exports handled by the cargo agent – up by 14.1 percent year-on-year.
While exports were very strong, import volumes did fall by 3 percent year-on-year. "Despite this slight setback on the import side, our overall tonnage was well above market average," says managing director Stephan Haltmayer.
Looking forward, Dieter Haltmayer is expecting further growth this year. QCS is intending to grow its business in India, in particular, the forwarder working with local, Mumbai-based partner Flyjack.
East Asia will be another priority, especially the China, Hong Kong and taiwan markets, whileo ther business in Russia, Australia and New Zealand are also expected to be expanded.
Facility improvements will also be made, such as an extra 3,000m2 of warehouse space expected to be leased at QCS's Frankfurt headquarters.

RadeonHD Driver Introduces Major Changes
Following a period of relative inactivity in the xf86-video-radeonhd git tree over the past few weeks, this afternoon Novell's Egbert Eich had pushed forward 55 changes to this open-source R500/600 driver. The AMD Radeon HD 3400 and 3600 series are now supported and there are a number of other significant changes. The RV620/635 mode-setting support has required the most significant work since the R500 series, since all output blocks have been altered due to the introduced DisplayPort capabilities. We have already tested out this latest code and were left with a positive impression.

NVIDIA 171.06 Linux Display Driver
On the same day as the limited open-source support arriving in the xf86-video-nv driver, NVIDIA's binary display driver for Linux has been updated to officially add support for the GeForce 9600GT graphics card. This new driver update is version 171.06 (Beta) and its only change is the added 9600GT support, but that's compared to the 171.05 driver that was targeted specifically for the Tesla S870.

Last month with the Catalyst 8.02 Linux driver we mentioned just how low on the end-user changes the fglrx driver has been in recent months, and today the Catalyst 8.3 Linux driver has been released with the release train slowly chugging along. The only new feature in this month's proprietary Linux driver is X-Video support for the Xpress 1200 hardware, but there are a few bug fixes that may satisfy some Linux users.

AMD & NVIDIA's Linux Control Panels
It was a year ago that AMD had replaced its aging FireGL Control Panel inside its Linux driver with the AMDCCCLE, or AMD Catalyst Control Center Linux Edition. Since that time, this Catalyst Control Center for Linux continues to mature with a few new features being added here and there, and version 2.0 could in fact be introduced in an upcoming release. At the same time, the control panel utility that ships with NVIDIA's binary driver, nvidia-settings, has stayed more or less the same for the past few years with only a few minor revisions. How do these two Linux control panels compare though when it comes to the features? For this article we have put AMDCCCLE and nvidia-settings side-by-side to compare and contrast both utilities.

Gallium3D Status Update Q1'08
This afternoon at FOSDEM 2008 in the X,Org development room, Keith Whitwell of Tungsten Graphics had provided a status update on the Gallium3D graphics driver architecture followed by Jerome Glisse talking about his work in porting the Radeon driver from DRM to Gallium3D. Jerome had also commented on other Radeon/X.Org topics such as kernel mode-setting. In this article are Gallium3D notes from these two talks.

ATI/AMD's Open-Source Plans
Starting off the X.Org talks at FOSDEM 2008 was AMD's John Bridgman, who has been leading the AMD GPG open-source efforts. John had talked briefly about the history of their open-source efforts for the R500+ series and the evolution of AMD GPU hardware. Among the interesting comments made were that TexturedVideo/X-Video support for the R500/600 may be coming quite soon, DRM and Mesa work forthcoming, open-source multi-GPU CrossFire support is on the road-map, and they will be re-releasing R200 programming documents. The RV620 and RV635 documentation is expected in the near future.

AMD Releases 3D Programming Documentation
For the past several weeks we have been referencing AMD's "tcore" in several of our articles, which is a user-space software suite that has been developed and used internally at ATI by engineers to work on various aspects of their binary drivers. Tcore is primarily used for testing prior to the availability of the actual silicon for their forthcoming graphics processors. John Bridgman and Alex Deucher have been working tediously to get this tcore source-code sanitized and cleared for public release, and finally they have reached this milestone. AMD has just published the first bits of open-source 3D programming documentation for ATI GPUs. This 3D programming documentation covers the R500 series and even goes back with information on the R300/400 series as well. The R600 3D programming guide will also be out soon. This information available today is what will foster the growth of open-source R500/600 3D support for the Radeon and RadeonHD drivers as well as R600 2D acceleration.

Nouveau Companion 35
In the 35th edition of the Nouveau Companion, these open-source 3D NVIDIA driver developers talk about being a better bug reporter, X-Video improvements, PowerPC fixes, and MMioTrace being delayed until the Linux 2.6.26 kernel. At least three Nouveau developers will be at FOSDEM 2008 next week in Brussels, Belgium.

Let's take a journey back to 2002. It was my first year after graduating high school and I decided to take my sister, who was 12 at the time, for a weekend of sister fun. Our plan was to spend all day Thursday at Wyandotte Lake and then head north to Cedar Point for 2 days of amusement park fun. The afternoon at Wyandotte was a gorgeous summer day and perfect swimming weather. We had about 2 more hours before our designated time to head out so we decided to head to the Wave Pool. The place was packed to the gills. After the first break time (which is when they blow a whistle and make everyone get out to rest for about 15 minutes) my sister decided to go back out and I thought I would lay out a little longer and join her shortly.
It felt like I had only closed my eyes for a few seconds when I looked up and realized I could no longer see her. I walked over to the area she had been and realized she was nowhere to be found. The only thing I could see were (what felt like hundreds of) rafts with people riding the waves. I knew she wouldn't have gone out much further. But wait. For a split second, I spotted a glimpse of turquoise amongst all of the yellow rafts. It was my sister's bathing suit! She had been pushed under water and covered with lots of rafts and it was obvious that she was drowning.
I had no hesitation at all. Immediately I knew there was no time to get the lifeguards' attention as they were too busy talking. I barged into the water and starting pushing people off of their rafts and throwing the rafts behind me screaming, "My sister is drowning! Go get help!" I swam out and dove down. She was being pulled further and further into the deep end from the suction of the wave system. I finally reached her, pulled her up with one arm around her chest and under her arm while swimming with one hand (thank goodness for swimming lessons all of my life!) and realized by the time I was getting closer to shore they had shut off the wave system and I was able to get her to the shore. I propped her up on the concrete landing and went straight into CPR mode that I was taught in Health class just 2 years prior. It took two rotations of chest compressions and breathing and she started coughing up water and breathing! I held her head up and hugged her super tight with a lot of tears flowing down my face. Paramedics were there by the time I was done to check her out and thankfully she recovered quickly. Though we didn't get to make it to Cedar Point that day as planned, we had encountered an experience neither of us would ever forget.
Anytime I tell this story, I emphasize that, had I not had to participate in that CPR course in Health class that year for school, I honestly don't know how this story would have ended. The fact that I was being cautious and later very confident in what I had learned is what pushed me into that mode to save her. Even if I didn't make it all the way back to that landing, I was willing to die myself to save her with a prayer that someone else would know CPR and was waiting for her.
My sister is a healthy 23 year old and often tells people she has a hero for a sister that inspired her to help volunteer during CPR certification courses during her high school years. Now that makes her my hero.
Do you have a CPR story to share? Let us know! Share your story here or email us at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Monmouth Park Race Track, a beautifully set racing establishment, thoroughly immerses patrons in the world of horse racing, from its historical years to the latest in entertainment. Located in Oceanport of New Jersey, Monmouth Park offers a truly unforgettable experience for racing enthusiasts.
Founded in 1870, the original Monmouth track was at the site of what is today the Fort Monmouth parade ground. It closed between 1873 and 1881, after which it was purchased by a group of interested parties. Once again the doors were closed in 1894, this time because parimutuel gambling was banned in the state. Horse racing was once again permitted under the state legislation in 1946 and Monmouth Park opened to the public in that same year. Monmouth was later purchased by the New Jersey Sports and Exposition Authority. Monmouth Park race track is best known as the host of the Haskell Invitational Handicap which first took place in 1968. Held every August, the Haskell is a 1 1/8 mile race for three-year-olds.
Monmouth Park race track is a 1 mile dirt oval with a breadth of 100 feet. The topsoil used is a blend of loam, silt and clay. The turf course is 7/8 mile on the inside of the main track. Renowned horses to race on Monmouth's turf course have included John Henry, Fort Marcy, Mongo, Cozzene and Hawaii. Monmouth Park's racing season is held between May and September during which many thrilling races bring top horses into competition with each other. Be sure not to miss graded stakes such as the Haskell Invitational Handicap, Molly Pitcher Breeders' Cup Handicap, Jersey Shore Breeders' Cup Stakes, Matchmaker Handicap, Red Band Handicap, United Nations Handicap, Monmouth Breeders' Cup Oaks, Salvator Mile Handicap and Oceanport Handicap. Post time is typically 12:50 p.m.
In addition to a fascinating history and exciting thoroughbred racing events, Monmouth offers some of the best facilities around. Stabling is provided for 1,600 horses. In the backstretch zone, patrons will discover The Quadrangle, a lovely center containing the Frenchman's Kitchen, an apparel store, a post office, offices and a recreation hall with movies and games. Before the races begin excited racegoers can view the racing horses, athletes of the race track, in the Walking Ring. A truly magnificent sight. Visitors to Monmouth Park are left in no doubt as to why it attracts such large crowds.

And what does that have to do with anything? Two points. First
Wilson had a Democratic Assembly from what I remember voted
unanimously for the so called "deregulation" bill. Which is more
aptly named a re-regulation bill. This bill encouraged the power
companies to divest themselves of their power plants and forbid
them from holding long-term energy contracts with the general
promise that the consumer rates would be unlocked.
So PG&E sold off their power plants to out-of-state interests for
large sums of money. These interests took out large bonds to pay
for the plants and began recouping their costs by raising the rates
for the power.
In California for a couple of reasons a large portion of our
energy comes from natural gas and hydroelectric. Both of these
options are pretty friendly from the standpoint of air pollution.
Last winter something horrible happened. We had a combination of
weather and a season shortage of natural gas that was aggravated by
lower supplies than normal. The cost for PG&E and Cal Edison went
up, but these companies were not passed on to consumers because the
companies had not completely met the conditions of the re-regulation
bill. I have to look, but PG&E was going to qualify around 2003.
It is now Christmas in California and consumers did not have a
reason to conserve the valuable resources because their bills were
not going up. Why should they, it won't change their pocket books
right? PG&E is having problems making energy payments because
the out of state companies are reluctant to sell power to a company
that is not on a sound financial footing. Of course, if PG&E
promises to pay a large additional fee to cover its credit unworthiness
things are fine. So from the standpoint of PG&E the prices are
spiraling upwards and what they can charge is fixed.
The Governor is busy helping matters out encouraging companies
to invest money in California by threatening to seize the power
plants in the state. Nice... The power generation was not really
the problem, the shortage of natural gas was.
Things have finally gotten bad for the Governor because the power
producers for a large portion of the state have finally accumulated
enough debt to declare bankruptcy. This presents two problems for
the governor. First the contracts with the state that lock the
rates could be ruled invalid by the proceedings. A bankruptcy
judge could unilaterally raise the rates on consumers, something
that Gray has been promising he would not allow. The second problem
is rolling blackouts that would place the governor in an equally
awkward position with the public.
What does he decide? He decides to spend tens of billions of
the California surplus to buy long term contracts at inflated
rates, but California lost big. Because of the economic down-turn
and an increase natural gas supply, there is plenty of natural
gas. So now California is buying power at a premium and selling
it in some cases for pennies on the dollar because Gray played
the commodities game and lost. Well we lost. California has
lost Billions of dollars that would be useful in revitalizing
the California economy, but was flushed by someone that didn't
have a clue about the energy market.
Is Davis responsible for the re-regulation bill? Probably not,
but his party and the opposing party could probably be held
accountable, but how would you do it. The bill passed
_UNANIMOUSLY_ through both the Assembly and Senate and was
signed by the governor. Who should we point the finger
at? The Democratic Legislature or the Republican governor
or all of the above because everyone voted for this mess.
There is plenty of blame to go around for the shortsighted
re-regulation bill, but the blame for wasting the surplus on
buying power at inflated rates falls solely on the governor.
If the governor would have unlocked electricity rates to the
levels that he finally settled on later we would still have
much of the surplus and would not have billions of dollars
worth of bonds hanging over our head for the next thirty years.
What raise rates... NO WAY... Well that is what ended up
happening. If it would have happened earlier, I suspect
that people would have changed their behavior because the
price of energy would directly hit their (our) wallets.
Supply and demand would have come closer together...
You admit that the governor did nothing. He had a Democratic
senate and assembly, but he did nothing. There were plenty
of warning signs and he did nothing. We he could no longer
do nothing it was too late for him to be effective. So now
we are paying for his inaction.
The governor badly mismanaged this situation by sitting on his
hands blustering, but not doing what really need to be done.
I think that you should spend a couple of days outside of the
university and do a little fact checking yourself :-).

The Irish Red Cross plays an important role in raising awareness and understanding of international humanitarian law (IHL) in order to promote respect for it. IHL is relevant to everyone.
The idea of IHL is simple: even wars have limits.
IHL is a set of rules which seek, for humanitarian reasons to limit the effects of armed conflict on people and objects. Also known as the law of war or law of armed conflict, IHL protects certain categories of people in times of war and restricts the methods and means of warfare. IHL applies only to armed conflicts and does not regulate whether force may be used. Some of the best-known IHL treaties are the Geneva Conventions , the Cluster Munitions Convention and the Ottawa Anti-Personnel Mine Ban Convention, (Convention on the Prohibition of the Use, Stockpiling, Production and Transfer of Anti-Personnel Mines and their Destruction).
Protecting people
IHL protects people who are not or no longer taking part in the fighting, such as civilians, the wounded, sick and shipwrecked, prisoners of war, detainees, and military medical and religious personnel. These people are entitled to respect for their lives, and parties to a conflict must provide them with assistance and treat them humanely at all times and without discrimination.
Protecting objects
IHL protects objects such as hospitals, ambulances and significant pieces of cultural property including places of worship, works of art and historic monuments. Under IHL it is also prohibited to destroy infrastructure necessary for the survival of the civilian population (such as drinking water supplies) and work containing dangerous forces (such as nuclear power stations or dams).
Limiting weapons and tactics
IHL limits the type of weapons and military tactics that can be used during armed conflict. It is prohibited to use weapons or methods of warfare which do not distinguish between those taking part in the fighting (combatants) and those who are not. IHL does not allow the use of weapons that cause the most appalling or unnecessary suffering, and it prohibits tactics that cause widespread, long-term and severe damage to the environment.
194 states , including Ireland, have ratified (agreed to be bound by) the four Geneva Conventions.

Since Gretz is a season-ticket holder, he's going to take a look at the debauchery and insanity that takes place in the Heinz Field stands after every home game he attends.
– The NHL has a rule that says you're not allowed to return to your seat until there is a stoppage in play.
It's a great rule because you know you don't have to worry about missing a play while somebody crawls over you, or stands up in front of you, while the game is going on. There is no such rule in the NFL, and it seems that the ushers at Heinz Field actually want you to disrupt the sightlines of other paying customers while play is going on.
Early in the second quarter I had to get rid of my two pregame beers and a 20 oz. bottle of water, and before returning to my seat, decided to wait on the walkway just below the stairs that lead to our section until the end of the current possession (it was already third down). I couldn't have been there for more than a minute until the Heinz Field version of Barney Fife on a power trip walked up to me and informed me that I would need to return my seat immediately and that I wasn't allowed to hang out there. After telling him that I was waiting for a stoppage in play — as I've done for every game I've previously attended at Heinz Field over the past 10 years, as well as every hockey and baseball game — so I wouldn't disrupt the other people in my row and in my section, he repeated his comment — louder — and walked away before I could respond.
– At one point in the second quarter two girls down in front of us managed to take the game in a potentially interesting direction when the unmistakeable aroma of marijuana started to make its presence felt for a brief period of time. I'm not sure who does that at a football game, but I can say it's probably only the second time I've noticed it at a game (though, there was one game a few years ago that mom and dad were attending where a fan behind them dropped his joint down through the seats).
I believe this was all happening around the time Troy Polamalu intercepted Michael Vick, which is fitting because every time Polamalu intercepts a pass the Heinz Field gameday staff plays Voodoo Child by Jimi Hendrix.
Add in a big mud pit, Jefferson Airplane and some naked people and it would have been a good old fashioned Woodstock experience. I guess the mud pit will be back in November, so we'll just need Jefferson Airplane and the naked people. Don't worry, just so they're not standing in the wrong walkway the security staff won't hassle them.
– Before the game there was an Eagles fan in one of the bathrooms wearing a Randall Cunningham jersey and yelling to nobody in particular that "Chuck Bednarik could kick Joe Greene's ass."
You know what? He's probably not wrong. Just watch a few seconds of this…
– I'm going to take a picture of every Daniel Sepulveda jersey that I see this season. Here's one from Thursday:
And speaking of jersey's. Wow. We saw this one before the game in the stadium and spent five minutes trying to figure out who wore No. 13 for Ohio State before finally realizing it was perhaps the most infamous Ohio State football player of all time, Maurice Clarrett.
My goodness, talk about timing on this one.
– I guess there was a football game, too, and I already shared a lot of my thoughts on the Podcast, but it was a nice showing by the starters and backups, especially some of the young corners like Keenan Lewis and Donovan Warren.
Antonio Brown continues to be a beast, and I'm pretty sure Asante Samuel is still trying to figure out where he went on that touchdown pass in the first quarter.
Still, it's a preseason game and just so nobody gets hurt, the night is a success no matter what the score is.
– At halftime they had youth football, and on one of the first plays some kid managed to pull off the Polamalu leap by perfectly timing the snap, jumping over the line and getting a sack. He even had long hair flowing out from the back of his helmet. I was hoping some parent or random fan that happened to be filming it would have uploaded it to YouTube, but no dice. He received a pretty nice ovation from the crowd, and that kid had to be freakin' pumped to pull that off at Heinz Field.

With close ties to the Minneapolis arts and theater communities, I have a genuine interest in helping creative talent. I love the entire process of working together to get a great headshot.
Actors, actresses and models make up the bulk of my headshot clientele, but they are not the only ones who need professional headshots. I frequently work with entrepreneurs, attorneys, artists, authors, speakers, comedians and musicians. Not surprisingly, it's becoming common that people need a professional headshot for LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, blogs and other social media or promotional use.
My spacious studio in the Casket Arts Building, located in the beautiful Northeast Minneapolis Arts District, features 1,200 square feet of comfortable shooting, work, and lounge space with free WI-FI access.
In addition to the studio, the building has several stairwells, hallways, and lobbies that are filled with beautiful natural light and textures. Outdoor headshots are also an option when the weather cooperates.

"I have nothing but positive things to say about my experience working with Craig. He created a very relaxing environment that made the session fly by. His attention to detail was well balanced by his openness to play. The toughest part was picking which one I liked best. There were so many to choose from. The quality of the photos was equal to the quality of the experience." Randy Reyes / Actor
"Your working style is laid back but super detail oriented—an awesome combo! I really enjoyed the session a lot and there are so many great shots that it was difficult to choose." Eric / Pianist
"Working with Craig was a wonderful experience. Not only was he gracious enough to work with my crazy schedule, but the session we had was comfortable and fun. The only thing better than a headshot session with Craig is the product he produces. The images are stunning and are a real representation of me as an artist. Craig Rocks!" Bergen / Minnesota Opera

GM Rochester Quadrajet - Q-Jet City
The first step in any carb rebuild is taking it apart. Remove the nine screws securing the air horn, and then use a small punch to push the accelerator pump pin in towards the air horn so you can remove the accelerator pump arm and rod. After you lift off the air horn, the accelerator pump can be pulled out. Save the spring from beneath it.
Removing the power piston comes next. The primary metering rods hang from the power piston, and you should be careful not to bend them when removing the piston.
A spring sits under the power piston and can be removed at this stage. If the spring is broken, replace it with the appropriate new spring (available from the Carb Shop).
Using needle-nose pliers, lift the bowl baffle out and put it aside to be reinstalled later.
Lift the float hinge up next, using needle-nose pliers. If the stock float is brass or plastic, it should be replaced with a nitrophyl float that will give your carb quicker float response time, and a float that won't sink.
Use a wide, flat-blade screwdriver to loosen the brass seat. Lift it out with pliers.
This is the adjustable part-throttle screw, which determines the lowest position of the metering rods at cruise speed. Remove it next and inspect it for wear. If it's in good shape, it does not require replacement.
Use a wide, flat-blade screwdriver to loosen the accelerator pump check-ball screw as well. Remove it with your trusty needle-nose pliers and then turn the carb upside down so the steel ball falls out. Don't lose it!
Disassemble the outside of the carb next. Remove the fuel fitting and filter. Don't throw away the spring-you'll need it later.
The next step is to remove the choke assembly. After removing the center screw from the choke housing, use the choke rod to hook the lever and lift it out.
Carefully note the orientation of the fast-idle lever and adjuster before removing it. It must be reinstalled in the same position to work properly.
Two or three screws secure the baseplate and need to be removed to take it off. Then slide the steel baffle out of the secondary venturis from the bottom.
The Carb Shop uses a heated ultrasonic cleaning tank to soak the Q-Jet clean for 15-20 minutes. You'll want to soak yours in a big can of carb cleaner overnight. Heavy varnish and stubborn crud can be brushed off with a stiff, chemical-resistant plastic brush.
Reassembly is done in the reverse order of disassembly. If you replaced the float, bend its hanger so that the top of the float sits approximately 1/4-inch below the top of the main body with the air horn removed. This will give you a rough float level adjustment to start out with. Further tweaking of the float hanger may be needed to get the fuel level correct.
After replacing the needle and seat, screw the adjustable part-throttle screw all the way down and then back it off two turns. Install the bowl baffle next, and then the power piston spring, piston, and metering rods can go in after it. Reinstall the accelerator pump check ball and screw, then carefully slip the new air horn gasket under the power piston bracket. You're now ready to move to the top.
Before bolting the top back on, reassemble the choke housing and lever using the choke rod to hold the lever in place. Don't forget to tighten all the air horn screws, including the two that are in the primary venturi.
Use side-cutters to grip and push the accelerator pump arm's pin back in place.
The Carb Shop seals the factory well plugs with super-tough epoxy. This is often a troublesome area of hidden internal leaks, and this cures the problem.
While it's disassembled, every Carb Shop Q-Jet's baseplate gets resurfaced to make sure it's smooth and flat.
Most old carbs have throttle shafts that are looser than your wallet on date night; the Carb Shop machines the baseplate and installs oil-lite bronze bushings on the primary throttle shaft to tighten it up.
Here's something the Carb Shop does to make tuning your carb easier: They install a removable plug above the adjustable part-throttle screw to provide easier access for later adjustments.
Every one of the Carb Shop' s rebuilt Q-Jets gets bolted onto the Vrbancic Brother's Racing dyno for a full-throttle flogging before it gets shipped to your door. This big-block street Q-jet had no trouble cranking out 490 hp on a mild 454-cid Rat.

Save the date for our 8th annual Coalition of Caring Conference!
Wednesday November 12, 2014
Courtyard Marriott, Grappone Conference Center Concord, NH
Message from the Coalition of Caring Chair (September 2014)
The planning and preparation for this year's conference has been underway since January. Due to last year's well received location, this year's conference will be once again be held at the Courtyard Marriott in Concord, New Hampshire. A block of rooms have been reserved for caregivers at a discounted rate for those who are interested in staying overnight and enjoying some respite.
During the next few months leading up to the conference the Coalition of Caring Planning Committee's work will be in full gear to continue our commitment to provide a conference for caregivers that meets and exceeds our mission statement.
Our Keynote Speaker Ellen Rogers will provide with both heart and humor her family's remarkable journey as they faced the challenges of her son's paralyzing injury – with a little help from a 5-pound monkey helper named Kasey.
The conference workshops this year will be both informational and educational to caregivers. Workshops that will be offered include: Developing Peer and Personal Support as a Caregiver, "Dealing Proactively with Chronic Sorrow", A Caregiver's Guide to Assistive Technologies, Mindfulness Meditation as Stress Reduction for Caregivers, "Scattered & Smothered", and Compassionate Care: Instilling Hope When We Have Little Left to Give!
Our long standing Mistress of Ceremonies Becky Rule will be telling and gathering her humorous stories with all in attendance!
Of course, we will be offering a hot breakfast buffet, plated Thanksgiving Luncheon, massages, reiki, flu shots, a caregiver exhibitor area and raffles!
In closing I am asking for your help in our conference outreach to fellow caregivers and/or caregiver groups by sharing with them information on this wonderful conference! Please pass the Save the Date Flyer that can be found on this website to your family, friends colleagues and networks as quite a few are probably serving in the role of caregiver.
As Rosalyn Carter eloquently states:
"There are only four kinds of people in the world;
those who have been caregivers;
those who are currently caregivers;
those who will be caregivers and
those who will need caregivers."
Take Care-
Ellen M. Edgerly
We had a successful 2013 7th Annual Statewide Caregiver's Conference!
Thank you to all who attended.
Remember, you can keep in touch with fellow caregivers all year long via our Facebook page. Check it out!
Thanks to the generous sponsorship from The Brain Injury Association of New Hampshire and The Finlay Foundation, respite opportunities are now available to our caregivers. Please click here for more information.
