ITP Launches Southeast Industrial Energy Efficiency Initiative
June 18, 2008
On June 5, 2008, the U.S Department of Energy's (DOE) Industrial Technologies Program (ITP) sponsored the Southeast Industrial Energy Efficiency Summit at Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. Attendees included industry officials from manufacturing sectors, representatives from state energy offices, and utility executives from the Southeast region. DOE and laboratory officials have formed a partnership with companies in the region to reduce energy intensity in the Southeast by leveraging resources and maintaining open conversations with one another about challenges unique to the area.
"This meeting is a convening of the right people and the right ideas at the right time," said Assistant Secretary Alexander Karsner. "I am so grateful for your exemplary commitment to improving efficiency in the fastest growing region in the country."
The Southeast Industrial Energy Efficiency Summit is the first in a series of planned partnership meetings to address the changing energy needs of the United States.
Listen to highlights from Assistant Secretary Karsner's speech.

Message: Get Excited
> Pastor Thomas
I was telling Larry, I hope the message has the same effect on everybody else that it had on me. It really kicked my butt as I was studying it. I haven't preached on this in a long time, and I think it's way past due. I want start by telling tell a story:
A pastor was visiting a small country church, and for a few services, he watched and listened. Then he said, "We're going to have a special service." He talked it up and got everybody excited about it. When they came in, there was a drape over the altar, so you couldn't see it. Then when the pastor came in, they took the drape off and it was a huge casket there in front of the church. The pastor preached a eulogy, and it was about somebody who didn't minister, didn't share, didn't witness, didn't do anything. People started to think he was a real jerk. Then after the eulogy, they put up a screen and people walked by the casket, one by one. People still in line heard the gasps and groans ahead and wondered what was going on. Then as each person looked in the casket, they saw their own face in a mirror.
I saw a commercial yesterday that just blew my mind. They brought a huge snack-tray out of the car, and it's built like a football field. They probably spent all day Sunday just getting that tray ready. There's always something. People don't have time for church, and it's a shame. Church isn't about what we do on Sundays; it's about what we do every single day.
In the Bible, they were called "Christians" because they were "Christ-like". Now we call ourselves "Christians" because we joined ourselves to a church – on Sunday mornings. But what do we do with the rest of our time? We can even use our kids as an excuse not to come to church, because we want to spend time with them. We can say that Sunday is the only day we get to sleep in. What if Jesus had decided to sleep in rather than hanging around that garden?
- Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
- Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
Church, that might have been to the eleven, but the eleven were supposed to go out and make disciples. This message was for the church. At that time, the church consisted of eleven people; that's all. This passage is based on a historically significant event.
When Hezekiah found the book of God's word, he wept. And when he took it to the king, the king wept also, because they realized how far from the law they had gone. So they not only read it in front of the people, they made sure that priests were ready to explain anything that the people didn't understand.
Philip wasn't one of the twelve, or the eleven, was he? But he was out there delivering the commission. The Bible says that all men must be apt to teach.
- And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient,
- In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth;
- Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
You must be able to rightly divine the word of truth. What does Mark 16:15 say? Go ye out into all the neighborhood?
- And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
We had eleven baptisms this week. Nine of them were military. Some people ask why I'm always talking about the military. Because they're the only ones doing something! I'm taking care of the cow that gives the milk. Church, I want you to know that if you don't share the gospel of Christ, you won't survive.
[Ezekiel 3:17-18
If you refuse to share the gospel with people where God has put you to be a testimony, and they go to hell, then God will count their blood on your hands. Because God put you there for a reason.
[Ezekiel 3:19-21]
What God has told us to do is for our benefit. It's what saves other people, and in turn, preserves us. My grandmother used to preserve things. She had three basements in her house. It was an old house; it had a coal basement, a regular basement, and a smaller one where the walls were lined with preserves. What does it mean to preserve? It means you keep something in a state where it's usable. That's my definition. Church, what are you doing to preserve your soul?
Jesus, when he started his ministry, we hear that he gathered disciples by word of mouth. We see the very first example in the gospel of John:
- Again the next day after John stood, and two of his disciples;
- And looking upon Jesus as he walked, he saith, Behold the Lamb of God!
- And the two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus.
The disciples heard John testify of Jesus, and these two men followed Jesus.
- Then Jesus turned, and saw them following, and saith unto them, What seek ye? They said unto him, Rabbi, (which is to say, being interpreted, Master,) where dwellest thou?
- He saith unto them, Come and see. They came and saw where he dwelt, and abode with him that day: for it was about the tenth hour.
- One of the two which heard John speak, and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother.
Andrew heard "Follow Jesus, and the next verse said:
- He first findeth his own brother Simon, and saith unto him, We have found the Messias, which is, being interpreted, the Christ.
The very first thing he did was to tell his brother, "We have found Messiah!" He was excited about what he heard. And we know that Peter was the greatest of the disciples; he was the one who brought the Gentiles into the fold. But somebody had to get excited before there was Peter.
Jesus ministered to thousands, yet there were only a hundred and twenty in the upper room. He healed ten lepers, and only one returned to thank him. Church, you say that people don't want to listen to you. Well, how is your attitude? I can take any conversation and turn it around to talk about Jesus. But if you don't have that love, that excitement, that drive to see people saved, you're going to talk about everything else but Jesus.
When Jesus spoke to the woman at the well,
- There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus saith unto her, Give me to drink.
- The woman then left her waterpot, and went her way into the city, and saith to the men,
- Come, see a man, which told me all things that ever I did: is not this the Christ?
- And many of the Samaritans of that city believed on him for the saying of the woman, which testified, He told me all that ever I did.
Their conviction came from what the woman had to say.
- So when the Samaritans were come unto him, they besought him that he would tarry with them: and he abode there two days.
- And many more believed because of his own word;
- And said unto the woman, Now we believe, not because of thy saying: for we have heard him ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Christ, the Saviour of the world.
She had to get people out to hear him. She was enthusiastically getting out and telling people about what Jesus had done. Many of them heard her and that caused them to believe. Others were skeptical, but checked it out for themselves, and then they believed. But all this started because of one Samaritan woman.
When the man was healed who was possessed of demons, he wanted to follow Jesus, but he told him, "No, stay here and be a witness." If everybody stays in the church, where is the witness? Does not the Bible tell us to go out and do the work of an evangelist?
Church, what moves you? Where is this excitement that comes from inside us, that compels us to tell people about Jesus? If they have rejected the message, they have rejected not you, but Christ. They might not be ready, but the Bible says that in their day of visitation, they will remember you, and they will cry out to God, and God will be there to minister to them.
When blind Barnabas was outside the city begging, he heard the news. They didn't have the Times, the Wall Street Journal, or USA Today. They had conversations. People talked about Jesus; they knew about Jesus; they had heard about Jesus. Barnabas sat there and heard people talk about Jesus. But one day, he heard something different and cried out, "Jesus, thou sound of David, have mercy on me!" What would cause him to do something different? There is a difference between when people talk about Jesus, and when Jesus is in their midst. And Barnabas cried out.
How can people cry out if you're only talking about Jesus, and there's no Jesus in your midst? When you talk about church services and activities, you're talking about Jesus. But when you share about what Jesus has done for you personally, then Jesus is in the midst. I like church cards; they're handy. You can write something on the back and hand it to someone and use it to invite people out to church. But that's not evangelism. Evangelism is telling people what Jesus has done for you.
- A sower went out to sow his seed: and as he sowed, some fell by the way side; and it was trodden down, and the fowls of the air devoured it.
- And some fell upon a rock; and as soon as it was sprung up, it withered away, because it lacked moisture.
- And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprang up with it, and choked it.
- And other fell on good ground, and sprang up, and bare fruit an hundredfold. And when he had said these things, he cried, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
When farmers spread out the seed, not every kernel developed. But that doesn't stop them from throwing it out on the ground. You cast the seed on the ground, and it's some of it will take and some of it won't. It's not up to us to decide who is worthy and who isn't. None of us were worthy.
Are you praying about who you can share with, and make a difference in their life? How many years (not weeks or months) has it been since you sat down and shared the salvation message with somebody? Then ask yourself why.
> Well, nobody has come up and wanted to talk about it.
If a man has a business and he doesn't get out and talk about it to anybody, whose fault is it that his business doesn't grow? If you start a restaurant and never turn on the lights or open the door, would you wonder why nobody comes to your restaurant?
It's not fair to keep the word of God to yourself. It's not fair to the lost. It's like seeing somebody in an accident and going on your way. "Why should I help that guy?" Because his life is at stake!
- So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
They're not going to get anything unless you talk to them. They're not even going to listen to some preacher on TV. But God has sent us to carry the message.
- I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.
If your job is to sow, then sow it. If somebody comes along and encourages them, that waters their spirit. And God adds the increase. But if God can't get through to them, they'll wither and die, just like a plant that never gets watered.
When people heard the first message, the spirit of God tugged at their hearts. But God wouldn't have been able to do that if Peter hadn't done his part. Three thousand souls died when Moses brought the law down from the mountain.
- Be not afraid of their faces: for I am with thee to deliver thee, saith the LORD.
- Then the LORD put forth his hand, and touched my mouth. And the LORD said unto me, Behold, I have put my words in thy mouth.
Don't try to think ahead-of-time what to say. Because whatever you work out in your mind, it isn't going to happen that way. If you study the word of God, then God will give you the words to say. But if you don't study and you don't pray and you don't talk, then you don't go to heaven.
Let me repeat that in case you didn't get it the first time:
If you don't study and you don't pray and you don't talk, then you don't go to heaven.
Larry, what was that email you sent me?
That was a very powerful reminder that your best friend, your buddy, needs the word of God more than he needs anything else. Paul wrote it this way:
- Ye are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read of all men:
Have you ever heard the phrase, "I can read you like a book?" You're so upset that everybody around you knows about it. How many of you have seen somebody like that? Their attitude, their posture, everything about them says, "Stay away!" But if you're lifting up Jesus, people will be drawn to you. And if they're not, what kind of aura are you putting out?
- God made us a watchman.
- He tells us to give sinners a warning.
If we warn them and they don't listen, then their blood is on their own hands. But if we warn them and they repent, they've delivered their soul. Either way, if you warn them, your job is accomplished.
Church, you don't have to walk by a casket and see a mirror to know that souls are dying because you're not doing your job in Christ. And if the church doesn't do it, then the church dies. People say, "How come we're not seeing the church grow?" Well, how many of you are talking about it? I can only do so much from up here.
- Son of man, I have made thee a watchman unto the house of Israel: therefore hear the word at my mouth, and give them warning from me.
- When I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; and thou givest him not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand.
- Yet if thou warn the wicked, and he turn not from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul.
- Again, When a righteous man doth turn from his righteousness, and commit iniquity, and I lay a stumbling-block before him, he shall die: because thou hast not given him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteousness which he hath done shall not be remembered; but his blood will I require at thine hand.
- Nevertheless if thou warn the righteous man, that the righteous sin not, and he doth not sin, he shall surely live, because he is warned; also thou hast delivered thy soul.

Anderson, Allen
Adult Nonfiction SF301 .A55 2006
Summary: This lovely collection tells of the hope and healing that comes from contact with horses. Whether used to give disabled riders a sense of freedom and mobility, to heal wounds of childhood abuse, to assist with work, or simply as loving companions, horses bond with people in ways that change them for the better. The stories, contributed by people from all over the country and from all walks of life, introduce Cholla, the horse who paints pictures; a veterinarian who was reminded of the importance of compassion by a dying horse and a Native American chief; Star, a horse who saved a teenage girl from suicide; the late-blooming rider who embarrassed a horse and learned an important lesson about respecting the feelings of others - even if they have four legs; and many others. Whether running through fields or performing intricate dressage drills, horses carry not only riders but messages of unconditional love and hope.

COLDWATER, MI (WTVB) - It appears Branch County is possibly headed toward the early release of a number of jail inmates next week. That would happen with a jail overcrowding emergency declaration issued by the Circuit Court, which normally acts when the population of the lockup exceeds its rated capacity for seven straight days.
Sheriff John Pollack indicated today it seems probable after a dozen more people were booked into the lockup Wednesday, bringing the inmate population to 153. That makes it five straight days the number of prisoners surpassed the capacity, which is 142. Once the 7 day limit is exceeded, the court has 3 days to consider the matter.
A declaration requires the population to be reduced to 90% of the rated capacity. The last time prisoners had their sentences reduced in Branch County with an overcrowding situation was in 2010 when 15 non-violent, misdemeanor offenders were granted early release.

Drivers with Disabilities in North CarolinaPage Overview
Differently-abled people may drive motor vehicles in North Carolina if their disabilities do not interfere with their abilities to drive safely. With exceptions, a disabled person who passes the driver's license exam and road tests is permitted to drive in North Carolina.
If your disability does not prevent you from operating a motor vehicle safely, you might be eligible for a restricted driver's license. With a restricted license, you must follow the limits placed on your license. For example, you might be allowed to operate a vehicle that has been modified with special control devices.
Special Needs for Parking
Because of their special needs, there are laws in place that make it easy for handicapped people to park close to buildings and wheelchair ramps, or have more access to get into and out of specially-designed vans. People who transport disabled people can also park in these spots.
In North Carolina, if you meet certain requirements you may apply for handicapped license plates or dashboard placards. These allow you to park in designated "handicapped only" parking spaces. Applying for special plates or placards is as easy as filling out a form and paying a fee.
Qualifying Disabilities
When it comes to eligibility for disabled placards and license plates, "disabled" is defined as a person who is experiencing at least one of the following conditions:
- Unable to walk 200 feet without stopping to rest
- Requires a brace, cane, crutch, another person, wheelchair, prosthetic device, or other assistance to walk
- Has restrictions from lung disease
- Requires portable oxygen
- Has a debilitating cardiac condition
- Unable to walk due to arthritis or a neurological or orthopedic condition
- Is totally or legally blind
Temporary Handicap Placards
For a temporary handicap placard valid for up to 6 months, you simply fill out the Application for Disability Parking Placard Form (Form MVR-37A), and have your physician sign it. He or she must confirm the length of your disability. There is a $5 fee for each placard, with a limit of 2 placards per person.
Permanent Handicapped Placards for the Disabled
For a permanent handicap placard, simply complete the Application for Disability Parking Placard Form (Form MVR-37A) and have it signed by your physician, certifying that you are eligible. There is a $5 fee for each placard, and you may get 2 placards per person. You can renew them by having your physician sign another application.
Extra Parking Privileges
With a disabled placard, you may park for an unlimited amount of time in a space that normally has a time limit on it. For example, by displaying your placard, you may park in a two-hour parking space for more than two hours. This does not apply to zones that are reserved for certain types of vehicles, such as police cars or city buses.
Out-of-State Privileges
According to North Carolina General Statutes, if you hold a handicap placard from another state, North Carolina will recognize it when you visit this state. You will have the same privileges as if the placard had been issued here.
To find out whether another state will honor disability license plates or placards issued in North Carolina, review our Drivers with Disabilities section for the state you plan to visit.
Personalized Vehicle Plates
Would you like to have personalized license plates with the International Symbol of Access (wheelchair) on them? If you are handicapped or visually impaired, you are eligible to receive this license plate at the regular license plate fee. You must complete the Application for Disability Parking Placard Form (Form MVR-37A).
Again, it requires your physician's signature, or it can be signed by an authorized representative of the state's Division of Services for the Blind. The plate is renewed by sticker, like other types of license plates. However, you must have a physician certify it again every five years in order to continue using it.
Please refer to the DMV's information page for more details about placards.Other Topics in This SectionFind Your

Got a question on rule clarification, comments on rule enforcements or some memorable NHL stories? Kerry Fraser wants to answer your emails at firstname.lastname@example.com!
As both teams approach Game 7 of the 2011 Stanley Cup Final, a number of cliches can be used to describe the importance of this game, including, "There's no tomorrow; It's Do or Die; This game is for all the marbles..." The real heart of the matter, in my opinion, is the team that hoists the Cup tonight will ultimately be the group that collectively demonstrates the most heart (in addition to the odd break, lucky bounce or even a power play here or there.)
The events of this series have been more bizarre than any that I have witnessed during my 30 years as an NHL referee. I can't ever remember this kind of drama since I watched every Stanley Cup series as a fan from the time I was allowed to stay up past my normal bedtime either (Prior to that, I snuck my transistor radio with ear piece into bed to catch the end of the game).
Both teams are banged up and their rosters depleted through serious injuries and suspensions; perhaps the Canucks more than the Bruins. All things not being equal, this is when drastic times call for drastic measures. It will take heroic efforts from one or all to have their names etched forever on this Challis.
The kind of heroic feet (no pun intended) I'm talking about is the "heart" exhibited by Bobby Baun in the 1964 Stanley Cup Final. Baun blocked a Gordie Howe shot with 10 minutes remaining in game 6 and was carried off the ice on a stretcher. Refusing medical treatment he had the ankle frozen, taped and returned to score the game winner on a broken ankle in overtime to force Game 7. Bob Baun's heroism didn't just end with that victory. His job wasn't done and he refused to have the ankle x-rayed until after helping the Leafs win Game 7 and the Stanley Cup by a score of 4-0. Bob Baun didn't miss a shift in that final game. That's the kind of heart I'm talking about that will be required tonight. Whoever can dig the deepest and overcome this reservoir of pain will taste from the Cup. It's the Stanley Cup stuff heroes and legends are made of.
There will be a third team on the ice as well. Their deep desire is to avoid becoming (or perceived as) a negative factor in the outcome of this game. Added pressure will certainly be on them to achieve this objective given the events to this point in the series. How they prepare themselves (& are prepared by Officiating/Hockey Ops) will go a long way to achieving a successful result in their performance. I say with the utmost confidence that all of us hope the officials will be a non factor in this final game. Let me share some thoughts on my preparation and occasional obstacles to overcome in memorable game 7's that I worked.
Dealing with pressure is unique to every player and official; individual coping skills are developed along the way. Experience is often the best teacher when dealing with the internal combustion associated with the pressure of a Game 7. Sometimes you even have to incubate yourself from everything just so you don't crawl out of your skin prior to the game.
The first time that I was thrust into a Game 7 pressure cooker was in the Battle of Quebec in 1985. This was only the third time I had been assigned to the Stanley Cup Playoffs, and the first time I had been chosen to work Game Seven of a divisional final series. Needless to say I was pretty raw in terms of experience. I arrived in Montreal in the morning the day before the game and well in advance of my 10:00 P.M. curfew. There was nothing that matched the intense rivalry between these two franchises and their fans. I wanted to be well prepared!
As soon as I landed in Montreal and collected luggage, I noticed how intently I was being stared at by arriving passengers and airport workers. As I passed a skycap, I was greeted with a nod of the head along with "Bonne chance." Once I hit the line for the taxis, it seemed that everyone I met, from the man who loaded my bags, to the cab driver, to the doorman at the hotel, to the front desk staff wanted to talk to me about the "big game"; even asking who I thought would win!
By the time that linesmen, John D'Amico and Ray Scapinello arrived that evening I had locked myself in my room and ordered room service. I couldn't even turn the television on without something popping up about the game. I told Scampy I'd see him for breakfast - I was in for the night.
I woke early with the sensation that something was crawling all over my body. Upon inspection, I discovered I was covered head to toe in big, red, itchy welts. At least they weren't on my face. I thought, What the hell is this? I was too embarrassed to mention it to anybody - let alone Referee in Chief, John McCauley. He might have thought he made the wrong choice in assigning this young referee to such a huge game. Instead I stayed covered up neck to toe and privately consulted the advice of a pharmacist after my lunch with the officiating crew. Eliminating a series of diagnostic questions he finally asked if I was nervous or anxious about anything. My Hell Yes I'm nervous, caused him to recommend an antihistamine for the serious case of hives that I had. I met up with the other guys and told them I would meet them at the Forum that night using the excuse that I had to get there early for some equipment repair. The truth is I didn't want to have to change in front of them. By the time Scamp and D'Amico arrived in the room, the red welts were totally concealed by my long underwear.
I attempted to calm my mind and focus in the room on what I had ahead of me in the game. As soon as I stepped on the ice, all was forgotten, other than the energy inside the Forum. It was an unbelievable, end-to-end game. Both teams came to play, and there was none of the rough stuff that we might have anticipated. At the end of regulation time, it was all tied up.
Once I dropped the puck it didn't take long for Peter Stastny to score on Steve Penney to give the Nordiques the series win in OT. Back in the dressing room I cautiously removed my long underwear, this time in front of my colleagues. To my pleasant surprise, the only thing I saw was my lily white skin. The pressure was off.
The experience I gained in this Game 7 assignment helped me through countless pivotal games and other Game 7s throughout the balance of my career.I worked game seven in the 2001 Final between the New Jersey Devils and the Colorado Avalanche and I must tell you the city of Denver was electrified from the moment the sun came up that morning. The only minute of calm I found that day was at 8 a.m., when I went down to the Pepsi Center for a skate before the teams arrived. Most of the energy was created in anticipation of Raymond Bourque winning his first and only Stanley Cup.
My final Game 7 was the 2004 Tampa victory over Calgary that I wrote about the other day and touched on the bizarre circumstances that occurred behind the scenes in that one.
In spite of the pressure and energy that was created in Denver and Tampa, quite similar to that which I experienced in Montreal, my coping skills and approach to dealing with it had vastly improved. There were no red welts on my body beyond that May night in 1985. Instead of hiding in my room I went to morning mass before getting to the rink early for a skate; whether alone or with any of the officiating crew that wanted to join me. I looked for peaceful environments on the day of the game. I also drew on my internal engine to control my energy level, emotions and positive thoughts. The distractions must be blocked out for the players and the officials to embrace this moment in hockey history with excitement, all the while retaining a calm resolve and focus to achieve their maximum potential on the ice in this final game.
And in Vancouver, whether any of the officiating crew has red welts on their body or not, it is my hope that when the puck drops, any nervousness is forgotten and they simply react to what the players dictate by applying a consistent and acceptable standard from start to finish.
One way or the other, history will be made...

UNDATED (WSAU-Wheeler News) Same-sex couples in Wisconsin who get married elsewhere can file joint federal income tax returns, and pay less than they would as individuals. The I-R-S said yesterday that gay married couples will have the same federal tax status as heterosexual couples –even if they live in states like Wisconsin that don't recognize same-sex marriage. State officials were quick to point out that same-sex couples would still have to file their Wisconsin returns as individuals.
The I-R-S ruling comes after the U-S Supreme Court struck down the Defense-of-Marriage Act in late June. U-S House Democrat Mark Pocan of Madison, who's in a same-sex marriage, says the federal ruling is a huge benefit to similar couples in the Badger State. Pocan said he would ask state officials in the coming days to allow gay couples to file joint state tax returns.
Julaine Appling of Wisconsin Family Action said a state tax change would violate Wisconsin's constitutional ban on gay marriages and civil unions. Appling's group pushed for the passage of the anti-gay marriage amendment.

BATTLE CREEK (WKZO) -- It's taken a while but Battle Creek Police have arrested Jessie Tatum for allegedly starting a fire that killed an 8-year-old girl.
Police say that Tatum had been dating Karrina Johnson's mother. Soon after an ugly scene between the two at a party, the house where Janeen Johnson and her children were living caught fire, and tests revealed that accelerants were used to start that fire.
Two older siblings were able to escape by jumping from a second story window, but Karrina was trapped inside and had to be rescued. She died later at the hospital.
Tatum could be formally charged today with felony murder.
Michael Roberson is expected to be charged as an accessory after the fact in the case for allegedly giving Johnson a ride that night.

Smith Abma Signature I/OX Goggle
Good/Great Large Google
When the I/O series first came out I couldn't stand the look of them, but over time the look has grown on me. When I lost my pair of yellow tinted googles I decided to take the plunge and buy a set with interchangeable lenses. It came down to the I/O X and airbrake, and after borrowing some from friends I decided on the I/O X because they were a slightly bigger fit, and came with lens tint options that I thought would be better for my normal conditions. So far I am happy with the googles, however I feel like the field of vision is slightly less than on my previous Oakley Crowbars...that being said its not really an issue, just something I notice a bit when I'm sitting on the chairlift, but not when I'm heading down the mountain. I would buy this again, especially if I can find it on sale at end of season.

Customer Reviews
Have not had a chance to try these yet but have never had any problems with the ammunition I have purchased in the past from the Guide.
Good ammo for target practice.
200 rounds so far on my Glock 17 G4, no misfires, jams or any other issues. Lots of smoke and makes the backstop spark at the range (prob cause the bullet is steel). Kind of dirty, but accurate enough and really good value.
Great stuff. Fired about half of it so far. Pretty accurate and zero malfunctions. Plus a great price.
This is great we are now ready for an advanced training course.

While the stock brakes on our long term MINI Cooper S were more than adequate for daily driving, we felt we could use a little extra stopping power for the canyon driving and occasional track use the car sees. We didn't want to go all the way with a big brake kit, as we wanted to stay with 17-inch wheels. We also wanted to see what we could do at minimal cost and effort.
After talking to the experts at Stoptech Brakes, we determined that their stage 2 would be exactly what we were looking for. The kit consists of Stoptech cross-drilled rotors, Hawk street pads, stainless steel brake lines and Motul RBF600 fluid. Since the car is used mostly for street driving we weren't as concerned with the cross drilled rotors as we would have been if it were a dedicated track car. For the same reason, we also chose the Hawk street performance pad. We wanted a pad that would respond well when cold, be low dust and had fittings for the factory brake wear sensors. The only downside to the Hawk pads is noise. The stock pad has an anti-vibration shim riveted to the backing plate that the Hawks lack. The extra vibration results in squeal, which is slight, but still very much present. We are looking at various solutions including backing plates to solve the problem.
We took the MINI to the guys at Evosport in Huntington Beach California to have the new brake kit installed. Evosport has been building racecars and high performance street cars since 1999 and while this job may seem a little mundane, it was finished with the same level of excellence they apply to everything they do. This can easily be done by your average weekend mechanic in a driveway with basic hand tools, but if you don't feel comfortable take it to a pro, these are your brakes after all.

The Venice Film Festival's history of controversy
14 films that shocked the establishment
Since it began in 1932, decisions made by the Venice Film Festival jury have sent shockwaves through the film establishment and beyond. We look at some of the most controversial award-winners in the event's history.
'Rashomon', 1951
Akira Kurosawa's non-linear masterpiece, showing the same events from different perspectives, was rapturously received at Venice, and has been a major influence on western cinema - but it almost didn't get shown, as it had been poorly reviewed there and the Japanese government didn't feel it was representative of Japanese movie industry.

On some streets in Rhode
Island's capital city there is no parking and now
according to new signs that sprung up throughout the city there will be "No
Mugging" either.
Signs that have been placed around Kennedy Plaza
warn passersby that there will be "No Mugging from here to corner," "No Mugging
on This Side of the Street," or "Mug Free Zone."
The city of Providence
had no idea how the signs got there or who put them there but it was clear they
did not think it was a funny joke. The signs surfaced on Monday and by Tuesday
at noon the city was already working to have them removed.
The signs are expected to be completely removed by dusk on Tuesday.
Some speculated that the signs were an art project commenting
on "urban living," others were spooked thinking that it meant there was an alarming
amount of crime in the city.
Police say there is no reason for people to be concerned in
the past year there has only be six aggravated assaults or robberies in District
1 in Providence.

BIRDLAND – With the 27th pick in the 2011 NFL Draft, the Falcons will select Ohio State defensive end Cameron Heyward.
The set of defensive ends for the upcoming draft is talented and one will slip to the Falcons. Offensive tackle, cornerback and possibly wide receiver will also be considered with the 27th pick.
Heyward had elbow surgery this offseason and hasn't been able to lift for NFL scouts. However, there is plenty of tape of him destroying Big Ten offenses.
Pro Football Weekly's Nolan Nawrocki is not a big fan of Heyward's. Nawrocki is the scribe who had the scathing review of Auburn quarterback Cam Newton. In the Pro Football Weekly's 2011 Draft preview, Nawrocki wrote this about Heyward:
"Looks like Tarzan and does not play like Jane, but will always leave evaluators wanting more. Overrated and Overhyped."
Heyward is 6-foot-5, 294-pounds. Has started 43 of 52 games in four seasons at Ohio State. He recorded 163 tackles, 37½ tackles for loss, 15½ sacks, two forced fumbles and one fumble recovery.
Also, in Mock 4.0 we have Newton going to Carolina with the top pick. Quarterback Blaine Gabbert is headed to Cincinnati, Ryan Mallett to Minnesota and Jake Locker to Seattle.
"I don't think there's a Matt Ryan or Sam Bradford in this class," ESPN draft analyst Todd McShay said. "What do I mean by that? At the time that those quarterbacks came out, last year with Bradford and two years ago with Matt Ryan. . .I just had no doubt in my mind those guys were ready mentally and physically to contribute in the NFL."
Some are starting to place Alabama wide receiver Julio Jones ahead of A.J. Green in their mock drafts. That's a mistake.
"Throw the combine numbers out and just study the tape of these two receivers," McShay said. "Julio Jones is very, very, very good, but A.J. Green is special. I think he's at a different level."
Well, I got a little ambitious for this Mock draft and went ahead and made all of the picks for the Falcons.
First Round: 27 – Cameron Heyward, DE, Ohio State
Second Round: 59 – Jerrel Jernigan, WR, Troy
Third Round: 91 – James Carpenter, OT, Alabama
Fourth Round: 124 – Akeem Dent, LB, Georgia
Fifth Round: 158 – Bilal Powell, RB, Louisville
Sixth Round: 192 – Pat Devlin, QB, Delaware
Seventh Round: 209 – Ricardo Lockette, WR, Fort Valley State. 228 – Julius Thomas, TE, Portland State. 229 – Byron Maxwell, CB, Clemson.
LAST POLL RESULTS: Who should the Falcons select with the 27th pick in the draft?
* Trade out of the first round and amass picks (40%, 266 Votes)
* Missouri DE Aldon Smith (37%, 247 Votes)
* Pittsburgh WR Jonathan Baldwin (15%, 100 Votes)
* Mississippi State OT Derek Sherrod (8%, 60 Votes)
Total Voters: 673
1. Carolina: Cam Newton, QB, Auburn: I found it instructive that Carolina general manager Marty Hurney spoke up after the shameless bashing of Newton by Pro Football Weekly.
2. Denver: Marcell Dareus, DT, Alabama: He's a prototype defensive tackle.
3. Buffalo: Von Miller, LB, Texas A&M: After whiffing on Aaron Maybin with the 11th pick in 2009, Chan Gailey gets a legitimate defender in Miller.
4. Cincinnati: Blaine Gabbert, QB, Missouri: The Bengals QB situation is up in the air with Carson Palmer demanding a trade.
5. Arizona: Nick Fairley, DT, Auburn: The Cardinals need to add some more bite to their defense.
6. Cleveland: A.J. Green, WR, Georgia: The Browns have to surround Colt McCoy with some weapons.
7. San Francisco: Patrick Peterson, CB, LSU: He could take over as the 49ers' press cornerback.
8. Tennessee: Da'Quan Bowers, DE, Clemson. The Titans hope to get perhaps the top pass rusher in the draft.
9. Dallas: Prince Amukamara, CB, Nebraska. The Cowboys need help in the secondary and will go for the big cornerback here.
10. Washington: J.J. Watt, DE, Wisconsin: Started his college career as at tight end at Central Michigan. He played hockey in his youth.
11. Houston: Robert Quinn, DE, North Carolina: He worked out as a standup linebacker for 3-4 teams during his workout at Carolina's Pro Day and was impressive.
12. Minnesota: Ryan Mallett, QB, Arkansas: The Vikings have to make a move at quarterback and they decide to roll the dice on Mallett's big arm.
13. Detroit: Anthony Castonzo, OT, Boston College: The Lions have to get some protection for Matthew Stafford.
14. St. Louis: Julio Jones, WR, Alabama: The Rams get a weapon for quarterback Sam Bradford.
15. Miami: Mark Ingram, RB, Alabama: The Dolphins look to improve their rushing attack.
16. Jacksonville: Cameron Jordan, DE, California: Steve Jordan, his father, was a six-time Pro Bowler at tight end for the Vikings.
17. New England: Nate Solder, OT, Colorado: He's a massive anchor at 6-foot-8 ¼ and 314 pounds.
18. San Diego: Aldon Smith, DE, Missouri: They Chargers get some help for their defense. Smith could contribute as a pass rusher immediately.
19. New York Giants: Tyron Smith, OT, USC: The Giants can't pass up this blend of athleticism and power.
20. Tampa Bay: Ryan Kerrigan, DE, Purdue: The Bucs drafted defensive tackles Gerald McCoy and Brian Price last season. This year they try to get some help at defensive end.
21. Kansas City: Gabe Carimi, OT, Wisconsin: Projects as a right tackle in the NFL. He played left tackle for the
22. Indianapolis: Corey Liuget, DT, Illinois: The Colts elect to get a disruptive force for the middle of their defense.
23. Philadelphia: Jimmy Smith, CB, Colorado: He is rugged with his hands in press coverage. He is a tall corner at 6-2 3/8.
24. New Orleans: Adrian Clayborn, DE, Iowa: "Clayborn's stock has dropped to a certain extent because of that arm situation," Kiper said. "He's dropped to the late first round."
25. Seattle: Jake Locker, QB, Washington: He will get a chance to sit and watch Matt Hasselbeck for a year or two. Locker is athletic, but needs to work on his accuracy.
26. Baltimore: Brandon Harris, CB, Miami: He was a three-year starter for the Hurricanes.
27. Atlanta: Cameron Heyward, DE, Ohio State: Some are worried that he's adding weight while rehabbing from an elbow injury.
28. New England: Mike Pouncey, C, Florida: The Patriots stay along the line here.
29. Chicago: Phil Taylor, DT, Baylor: Is shooting up draft boards. Started his career at Penn State, but transferred after running into some legal problems.
30. New York Jets: Justin Houston, OLB, Georgia: The Jets are counting on Houston developing into a big-play artist.
31. Pittsburgh: Derek Sherrod, OT, Mississippi State: The Steelers have to improve their offensive line.
32. Green Bay: Ryan Williams, RB, Virginia Tech: He's a hard-charging runner, who'll fit in the offense nicely.

DOL! Nice work. I'm sure that a half dozen (or close to it) DEs will go in the first round, and we're likely to have a shot at one of them. Will it be Heyward over Clayborn?
Much of this will depend on which guy Tampa Bay takes. They're almost sure to take a DE.
April 4th, 2011
5:32 am
Interesting ……….. have the Falcons shown more than passing interest in Heyward?
I thought TD has a perceived "Big 10 bias" in his drafting resume'?
I was more excited about Aldon Smith ……. but I guess the perception is that he will be grabbed before we get to pick. Well at least we aren't like the Hawks and kept our 1st round pick …
April 4th, 2011
5:35 am
speaking of which (da Hawks), with a blog crossover ……..
Big Ray, what will we do for improvement in 2011-2012? No 1st rounder, cheap ownership, weighty contracts, failed to use our one bargaining chip (J-Crawford's expiring contract), and traded away our 2010 1st rounder (who arguably could have been the "new" J-Crawford, figuratively and literally)

No to drafting Heyward.Akeem Ayers,Martrez Wilson & Justin Houston are much better than Heyward !!!

We really need Jimmy Smith !!!
April 4th, 2011

1st – DE Aldon Smith – Mizzou
2nd – WR Jernigan (Troy)
3rd – DB Ras-I Dowling (UVA)
4th – LB ???
5th – RB Phillip Sylvester (FAMU)
…after that, up for grabs … it would be nice to somehow snag a TE, but it doesn't fit the "speed and urgency" mantra to address our deficiencies.

If you want your readers to respect and take you seriously, you should resist the temptation to let your emotions overrule your intelligence…at least I hope this is what happened.
Cam Newton #1 overall? Come on man! You never take a project–and he IS a project for the NFL–as the top pick, especially a QB project. Bradford, Stafford, Manning, Bartkowski, Bradshaw, Plunkett, Elway, Aikman–former NFL #1 picks were/are not projects.
Newton is not only short on brains, he also has run nothing close to an NFL offense and has questionable accuracy at best. Remember a couple of other former #1 picks short on brains, Jeff George and JaMarcus Russell? How'd that work out?
As a Falcon fan I hope you're right. Facing him after a Brees or Freeman would be a breather.
I'll offer you 10-1 odds…name the amount!

I still don't understand why everyone is so harsh on Newton. How many of us made the wrong decisions or said the wrong thing when we were coming out of college. Matter of fact some that are talking negative about Newton are still making dumb decisions. Newton is a kid, that right I said he is still a KID….give the KID a break.
We worried about what he said or did….let's not forget those athletics that siad or did the right thing in college but end up doing or saying something stupid after they got in the league.
April 4th, 2011
7:08 am
Newton won't be the overall #1. And the falcan'ts need some one to add some speed to that molasses slow defense.
Orlando: Your picture caption says that Ohio and Miami played last week! Really?
April 4th, 2011
7:29 am
Marcus…..I will make you a little wager. Philip Sylvester will not be drafted. My best guess he is only a 50/50 shot at getting a tryout with no chance of ever signing a NFL contract. IMHO
April 4th, 2011
7:37 am
dirtyo11…..I agree. Get off of Cam's back. Let the scouts deciede his draft position and make their reccomendations. As for being a kid. Not hardly! He is a grown man about to go to work in the ultimate "big boy" job. dirtyo, a kid is someone still in HS. Don't give anyone that kid crutch at 23 yrs old.

No DB? Thought that was an area of need!

No way the Falcons take Heyward. They need a big pass rush and SPEED and I agree with Nawrocki, the guy is a good player but overrated.
April 4th, 2011
8:09 am
Let's entertain trading down. I think our 27th pick is worth more to someone else and we could load up with 2nd, 3rd, and 4th round picks. Any takers?
April 4th, 2011
8:29 am
DOL, maybe the Carolina GM is defending Newton for another reason. Maybe he is propping up Newton because he WANTS other teams to think that Carolina MAY pick him, and trade up with the Panthers to grab him. From Carolina's perspective, if there was ever a year to trade down from the #1 pick it is this year because there is no surefire Number One guy (unless a team desperately needs a WR and then it would be A.J. Green).
April 4th, 2011
8:41 am
DOL…Don't set yourself up for future "I told you so" emails…..Get Kris Durham into that Falcon draft! I'm tellin ya, the man is a better player right now than Finneran ever was.
April 4th, 2011
8:50 am
So you are thinking the Falcons will try and improve their secondary in FA? Makes sense, they have missed on some CB's in the draft and really they need immediate help. Any player in particular you think they will target?
April 4th, 2011
8:58 am
yup, they'll probably draft hayward…either try to move him inside…he wont be able to bullrush NFL tackles…falCants….
April 4th, 2011
9:00 am
Why waste your pick on Heyward?
He is a 2nd round pick at best – don't give him bonus points because his father played for the Falcons
April 4th, 2011
9:05 am
this is a better draft, but I think we take Pouncey if he is available. That elbow injury most likely will bump his off the Falcon radar. Almost up to Cocoa Mels standards, especially like Rd 2 & the Lockette selection. If Houston is available, I also see him over Mr. Heyward.
April 4th, 2011
9:09 am
DOL. What are the chances of them picking up TE DJ Williams in the 3rd to 4th round? The GOAT is not going to be around much longer and Peele is strictly a #2. I say get your DE, then speedey WR/RB, then 3rd round go TE. Any word on Sidbury taking the next step?
April 4th, 2011
9:15 am
Love this pick DOL. It's the 27th pick so it's tough to find solid players with everything you want.. He's good against the run and he's fundamentally very good. He's seasoned, the transisition shouldn't take him a long time. He's going to tackle well, the only think I'm a bit concerned about is his sack numbers which are low for what we were hoping. He seems to make tackles in the backfield quite a bit though.
There really aren't that many options this high in the first round anyway. They HAVE to find pass rush. It was awful from that edge last year.
April 4th, 2011
9:19 am
If they're taking a Cam – better Heyward than Newton any day.
April 4th, 2011
9:20 am
No thanks. Not a betting man. That said, I would LIKE the Falcons to take a chance on P. Sylvester, but most likely he will be late-round or UFA.
April 4th, 2011
9:38 am
The Falcons should go after these 3 guys in the later rounds, they are FOOTBALL players and better then all this running through the cones stuff these so-called TV DRAFT experts who sometimes scandalize good football players and kids (Tebow, Cam Newton)
take GT Anthony Allen in the 5th, UGA Kris Durham in the 6th and D. Gamble with one of the 7th's. I'm telling you these guys will be steals! That's what was different about the SUPER BOWL CHAMPS the Packers. What they get 3 or 4 starters out of their late round picks! Come on TD PLEASE, stop the BULL, THESE KIDS CAN play and help the FALCONS!!!!!!
April 4th, 2011
9:38 am
Exactly how does Heyward fit the Falcons needs? He is a 5 technique. That isn't an "end" in a 4-3. He is a 3-4 "down end". Why would we draft a guy that doesn't fit the scheme.
Come on DOL. Do your homework and understand that "Defensive End" doesn't mean the same thing for all systems. I like Heyward, but he doesn't fit our system.
And yes, Newton will go 1 based on potential at the QB position. I didn't say he SHOULD go 1. I said he WILL. These GMs continue to select on potential over reality. They see Cam's size, speed, arm and highlights and can't stand it.
April 4th, 2011
9:50 am
1. Patrick Peterson will not last to 7th pick, he one of those players the top 5 teams can't pass on.
2. I would say Green and Jones are about the same level, some teams would favor Jones, some will favor Green.
3. Jernigan and Lockette would be nice but ATL likes WR they picked last year that got hurt.
No to Hayward – Trade pick and stock up later picks.
April 4th, 2011
9:55 am
@ Jeffro Bodeen, the Falcons got their replacement for Finneran when they drafted Kerry Meiers last year. Almost a mirror of Finneran and his style of play. A couple of inches shorter but sure handed and can find the open hole. I don't see anyone coming out of the draft that could come in and contribute right away the way Finneran did.

Cameron is a fine player, but he seems more like a run stuffer than a pass rusher. One sack every three games started at Ohio State doesn't impress me given the quality of competition they played.
I like the position of DE in the first round, but I want a pass rusher, not another run stuffer. Tell me what makes Cameron an upgrade from Jamaal Anderson? They seem very similar.
April 4th, 2011
10:02 am
Hey D-Led, talking about needing a TE to groom for when TG decides to retire, enlighten me on our 3rd TE Palmer. What kind of speed does he have? I know last year as a first year free agent he caught almost everything thrown his way. The guy looks like he has tremendous hands and seems to be able to make the clutch catch??? Just wondering about his ability to get down field.

Larry seems to make an educated argument without being racist at all.

DOL, What are the odds the Falcons try to get Nnamdi in Free agency?
April 4th, 2011
10:29 am
Cam Newton will not go to the Panthers. There are too many red flags, and with the lockout, too little time to prep any quarterback to be ready to play in 2011. Drafting a quarterback now, unless he can step in and start — which Cam can't do — is basically wasting a pick for a rebuilding franchise.
If Carolina takes a QB at #1, it would be Gabbert, based more on his projectability than his skill set — and that would be a mistake for the Panthers as well. If they're smart, and I think they are, Carolina will take the best defensive player on the board and wait for Luck, or several other more polished QBs to come out in the draft next season when there's definitely going to be a rookie salary cap.
This year's crop of college QBs is just not that good. To take one is a risk, especially in the fact that there isn't likely to be a rookie cap this year, and there is likely to be a rookie cap next year. The strength in this draft is on the defensive side of the ball — and Carolina isn't as dumb as some of the pundits here are hoping for. As a Falcons' fan, I can only hope the Panthers overreach for a QB, because that will help us for years to come. But I don't think that's going to happen.

Waiting until the 7th round for a TE?? I don't think so.

Jughead Heyward is a turncoat that left the state of Georgia after getting his education and training paid for by Ga taxpayers to play for an out of state team. My personal opinion (which is not shared by some dimwits – which their comments will attest to their being dimwits) is that if a fink leaves the state to play for the enemy then don't return here looking for a job. He can play elsewhere but not in the state that he turned his back on, This shows a lack of loyalty and a big character flaw. And please don't some idiot say that we have people coming from other states to play in Georgia, I know that and that is ok with me but if the people in the other states feel the same way I do then I don't blame them for calling these players unloyal finks because they are. No thanks to Jughead being a Falcon. Have a great day
April 4th, 2011

DOL, what do you think the chances of the Falcons going for Kris Durham? He would be a great get!!!
April 4th, 2011
11:34 am
This kid reminds me of Jamel Anderson, if we draft a DE we need to get one who can get off the ball and around the edge. Heyward would fit nicely with a team that uses a 3-4 base defense.
April 4th, 2011
11:36 am
Lester what are you rambling about?
He played high school ball at Peachtree Ridge, then got a scholarship to play for Ohio State.
What exactly did Georgia Taxpayers pay for…a few more wall murals in North Gwinnett?
Lack of loyalty? Really? So you hated Chuck Smith too?
April 4th, 2011
11:50 am
So guys! Please tell me what you think of this possible draft scenario:
1. Justin Houston – DE Georgia
2. Jerrell Jernigan – WR Troy.
3. Jacquizz Rogers -RB – Oregon State
4. Korey Lindsey – CB = Southern Illinois
5. Ricardo Lockette -WR – Fort Valley State
6. Mark LeGree – FS – Appalachian State
7. J.R. Bryant – LB – Oklahoma
7. Richard Lapham – OL – Boston College
7. Weslye Saunders – TE – South Carolina
1. Da'rel Scott – RB – Maryland
2. Derrin Nettles – DT – Morehouse
******** NFL Free Agents To Falcons
1. Zach Miller – TE – Raiders
2. Charles Johnson – DE – Panthers

Cam Newton was perhaps the best college football player for one season that i've ever seen. How people can even question him going #1 in the draft is beyond me to believe. He has great size for a quarterback 6′6 250, has a rocket arm and can run. Also, he's a winner. What else could you possibly want in a Quarterback?
April 4th, 2011
1:04 pm
Cam Newton was basically a RB/QB in college. He averaged almost 20 rushing attempts and passing attempts per game. His teams offense was unlike anything in the NFL and he would be out for the season by week 5 playing like he did in college. Therefore it comes down mostly to his passing ability which people have a very good reason to be skeptical of. Especially after his weak combine performance. Making him a number one pick, and giving him number one money just seems like a major risk.

Put your smartphone on a data diet
Here's how you can cut back on your smartphone data usage and keep your wireless bills under control.
This post comes from Kelli B. Grant at partner siteSmartMoney.
With wireless carriers jacking up rates, just as mobile apps grow hungrier for more data, it may be time for consumers to put their phones on a diet.
The average cellphone customer aged 24-35 consumed 578MB of data per month during the third quarter of 2011, a 118% increase over usage during the same period in 2010, according to Nielsen. Over the past year, Verizon eliminated unlimited data plans in favor of a tiered system, and it, AT&T and Sprint's Virgin Mobile announced initiatives to slow the data speed of heavy users.
Then, earlier this week, AT&T announced a new set of data plans with 33% higher prices that will take effect on Jan. 22. Instead of 200MB for $15 and 2GB for $25, new customers can now choose between 300MB for $20 and 3GB for $30. Existing customers will be allowed to keep their current plans.
Analysts say data charges are only going to go up as more consumers pick smartphones and take advantage of all of their features. Nokia Siemens Networks estimates that by 2020, the average user could be going through a full gigabyte of data daily. "Death, taxes and increases in your cellular bill are all things we can count on," says Brad Spirrison, the managing editor for app review site Appolicious. With that in mind, smartphone users can cut back on their data consumption by tweaking settings and changing their behavior.
Hunt for Wi-Fi
Just half of smartphone owners tapped into a Wi-Fi connection on their phone over the previous 30 days, says Don Kellogg, the director of telecom research and insights at Nielsen. Carriers charge only for data sent over their own networks -- not Wi-Fi -- so that means a lot of people aren't taking advantage of a big opportunity for free Web browsing, email and downloads.
Kellogg says Android and iOS devices automatically connect to known Wi-Fi networks, so make sure to give them the password to home and work connections. Consumers already using Wi-Fi could save, too, by using it more. It's best to wait until one is on a free connection to download or update apps and transfer other big files, he says.
Go off-grid
A wide variety of apps and features, including the camera and Facebook, use the phone's GPS to track its location. That's great for a user who's looking for directions or logging a run, but the function can keep running in the background even when the app isn't in use, says technology consultant Alex Goldfayn, the author of "Evangelist Marketing." "That's eating data and draining your battery," he says.
Smartphone users can toggle settings on their phones to turn individual apps' access on and off as needed. It's tough to say exactly how much it will save, but combined with other strategies the shift could be enough to push subscribers into a smaller data bucket. There's also a phone-wide off/on option for location-tracking, says Goldfayn, but hit that switch with caution -- setting everything to "off" also nixes apps that track a lost or stolen phone. Post continues below.Save video for bigger screens
Experts agree: Video is currently the biggest data-suck out there. "One movie will probably get you close to 1 gigabyte of data, streamed," says Goldfayn. T-Mobile's data use-estimation tool projects someone who streams videos "occasionally" might use 5.86 gigabytes per month for that habit alone, for example. As a comparison, combined, occasional use of apps and games, file transfers, Web surfing and email use only 3.5GB per month.
Watch downloaded rather than streamed content while using the carrier's data network, Goldfayn advises, and look for a Wi-Fi connection for streaming when possible.
Choose a less data-hungry phone
According to a recent report from consulting firm Arieso, iPhone 4S users download 2.76 times as much data as iPhone 3G users. "It is the case certainly that there are some devices that are associated with the increased use among subscribers," says Michael Flanagan, Arieso's chief technology officer. But he says it's not yet clear whether having a particular handset causes consumers to spend more, or if it's more that heavier data users are drawn to specific handsets.
In any case, smartphone users hoping for a smaller bill could see some savings by picking a handset that offers fewer opportunities to use data. (Sorry, Siri.)
Set a limit
Under new Federal Communications Commission rules, carriers must start sending alerts by Oct. 17 to warn subscribers as they approach their plan limits for voice minutes, texts or data. Unusual use may already trigger a courtesy call or text in some cases, experts say.
Right now, many carriers offer family controls for a small fee, roughly $5 per month, that let users set hard limits on phone usage, including downloads. Android device owners using the latest operating system, called Ice Cream Sandwich, can also adjust phone settings to cut off data use entirely to avoid going over the limit, says Spirrison.
Monitor family use
Depending on the plan, a family might have separate data charges for each line or one shared bucket, Kellogg says. Either arrangement could be problematic, considering that data usage among teens ages 13-17 spiked 256% over the past year, according to Nielsen.
Teens' average 321 megabytes per month is relatively modest compared with the average 578 megabytes per month among the 25-34 set, but that alone is still more than carriers' cheapest data plans, and combined with other lines, could easily force an overage. "Just like anything else you give your teenager, you should monitor data use," says Kellogg.

Defenders of Utah's caucus system for nominating candidates pummeled a deal struck over the weekend between legislators and organizers of the Count My Vote ballot initiative, calling it an unconstitutional affront to the First Amendment and comparing it to bloodshed in the streets of Kiev.
Former Rep. Chris Herrod said the fundamental issue is whether political parties have the freedom to associate without government interference — which he added is the same thing the world is witnessing in clashes in Ukraine.
|Join the Discussion
|Post a Comment
"I believe in the First Amendment, and as you look at what's happening around the world and you look at what's happening in Russia and Ukraine as we speak, First Amendment rights are being taken away," Herrod said. "I feel the same thing is happening here."
SB54, sponsored by Sen. Curt Bramble, R-Provo, is the product of a compromise hammered out with leaders of the Count My Vote movement.
Count My Vote was gathering signatures for a ballot initiative that would have supplanted the existing system — in which nominees generally are chosen by delegates elected at neighborhood party caucuses — with a system of direct primaries.
Bramble's bill leaves the caucus system in place, but provides an alternate path by letting candidates get on a party primary ballot by gathering a set number of signatures.
Count My Vote leaders have said they are willing to abandon their ballot initiative once the governor signs Bramble's measure.
Bramble argues his bill is better than the Count My Vote plan. He says he's not a gambler, but also believes the initiative will pass if his measure doesn't.
"This is a pretty simple proposition: Do you want to preserve the caucus-convention system, then you vote for this bill," Bramble said. "If you want to risk that going away in its entirety, then you vote against this bill, place it all on black, and work either for or against the initiative."
On Monday, the House Government Operations Committee approved it unanimously, although several members warned it was unconstitutional, opposed by their constituents and that they may vote against it when it goes to the House floor.
"This kind of stinks. I don't like this bill," said Rep. Keith Grover, R-Provo. "I think we should call [Count My Vote's] bluff and really go for it and see what happens."
Rep. Mike Noel, R-Kanab, said the compromise language is bad for rural Utah and he objects to the process that led to its creation. He said he was particularly disappointed when former Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney endorsed Count My Vote.
"I don't know if I could be more hurt," Noel said.
The compromise language, he added, turns over control of the nominating process to people who get their information from advertisements. "To me, the scariest voter is the uninformed voter."
Rep. Dan McCay, R-Riverton, the bill's House sponsor, said it's clear that some lawmakers don't think the bill strikes the right balance and anticipates considerable debate when it comes up for a floor vote, likely later this week.
Under the SB54 deal, a qualified party would have to allow unaffiliated voters to vote in its primaries, allow absentee voting for delegates at its conventions, and accept an alternative path to the ballot.
A candidate who chooses not to go through the party-convention gantlet could gather a number of signatures from registered voters and advance to the primary ballot.
Under the proposed framework, a candidate running for statewide office would need signatures from 28,000 voters to get on the primary ballot. A quarter of that number would be needed to run for one of the four congressional districts. State Senate candidates would need 2,000 signatures and House candidates would need half that number.
The signatures could come from any registered voter, regardless of party.
It was the signature target needed in county races — 3 percent of the registered voters — that concerned Rep. John Mathis, R-Vernal, who said that in a place such as Daggett County, a candidate would need only a dozen or so signatures to get on the ballot.
"Particularly for county sheriff, it's a concern for me," Mathis said.Next Page >

Saw II brings back the aptly named serial killer Jigsaw, played surprisingly well by Tobin Bell, who creatively finds gruesome and disturbing ways to knock off victims, often with ironic twists.
However, Jigsaw always leaves an out for his victims, offering them a chance of life if they can muster the strength and desire for survival. Jigsaw plays a much more prominent role in Saw II with more face time and offers more of an explanation as to why he does what he does.
The helpless people caught in Jigsaws latest trap are burnt-out Detective Eric Mathews (Donnie Wahlberg) and his partner Kerry (Dina Myer).
Jigsaw taunts Mathews with live video feed of his next would-be-victims trapped in a house; one of those people being Mathews teenage son, Daniel (Erik Knudson).
Mathews is forced to watch while Daniel and the others attempt to find the antidote for a poison that is slowly being emitted within the house. Of course, the antidote can only be found by going through a series of traps that include a pit full of dirty syringes, a cage lined with razor blades and a fiery furnace. Obviously, not everyone makes it through these traps alive and well.
The plot of Saw II offers just as many twists and turns as the original, and the finale, taken with some suspension of disbelief, ends up being quite satisfying (depending on your point of view). The acting is much crisper than the first (no Cary Elwes), while the directing and pacing of the movie make sure that not a dull moment can be found.
While Saw produced more psychological torture, both to the audience and to the victims on screen, Saw II still delivers but in a different vein. Saw II offers up much more horrific and disturbing scenes than the first, with a much more shock and awe approach. However, Saw II lacks the air of newness and creativity of the first film.
Saw II is not quite as good as the first, but it still offers a lot of entertainment value. Obviously, if you do not enjoy horror films, this is not the movie for you.
However, if you enjoy a good slasher film, by all means go see Saw II, especially if you enjoyed the first one. But, be warned; you will need a strong stomach to handle the blood and more blood in Saw II.
