not much happening here, as far as plot is concerned. Good intro, i guess. Moving now to the next episode, where i hope the cuts on the monsters/demons will be more like proper cuts. Yeah, the way those monsters looked upon cutting them was the main flaw here.
By the way, whopper.

I feel Sarasota Christian take great pride in their staff and students. The staff always goes above and beyond to make sure the students feel good , and are successful.
My two children have been at SCS since kindergarten, the oldest will graduate in May and the youngest will finish middle school. We love SCS and the community atmosphere. We chose SCS for their high academics and Christ centered environment. Both children have been in sports in middle and high school. Our middle schooler has particpated in Odyssey of the Mind for many years and what a great program it is. SCHS is wonderful, my son has made many friends that will last a life time, the teachers are caring Christian teachers. Students have the oppurtunity for dual enrollment classes their Jr/Sr year and graduate with college credit. Their are many activities for students like drama,sports, band and touring choir to name a few. As I reflect back on the 13 years that I have been involved with SCS there's no other school I would choose for my children.
We have had our two children at Sarasota Christian School since they were in kindergarten. Our oldest is now in middle school and is adjusting to this sometimes awkward time of life quite well. We attribute this to the environment at SCS. The school is very much like a community, we know our children s friends and their families. The teachers and administration are caring and encouraging. Our children are able to participate in sports and after school extra-curricular activities to keep them busy and having fun. They receive all this in a Christ centered environment. The academics at SCS are exceptional, and we look forward to our children completing their high school years and continuing on to a major university.
After transferring from Maryland, our daughter spent all her high school years at Sarasota Christian School. The Christian influence of her teachers prepared her well for West Virginia University. She quickly got plugged into Fellowship of Christian Athletes and is now on the leadership team at the university. Academically, the rigorous classes she took at SCS made the transition fairly uneventful. Most importantly she speaks highly of the caring teachers at SCS.
Our children have attended Sarasota Christian since kindergarten and our oldest is now in middle school. We have had the most wonderful teachers who have worked to prepare our children both academically and spiritually and the overall community feeling in that school is amazing.
SCS has a challenging curriculum with Christian teachers who love Jesus and love their students. The teachers are supportive and help children to be as successful as possible. My daughters have been at SCS for a total of 12 years and love going to school there. I am very, very happy with my choice to send my children to Sarasota Christian School. I have been affiliated with SCS for 15 years and would not have my children as well as my other family members go anywhere else.
We couldnt be happier. We are learning above National levels, in a small, safe school. If forced to pick one word to discribe our school - integrity.
Wow, Our family is learning above national grade level, and is doing it in a kind, loving Christian School.

Astronics Corporation Stock Upgraded (ATRO)
- EXCLUSIVE OFFER: Jim Cramer's Protégé, Dave Peltier, only buys Stocks Under $10 that he thinks could potentially double. See what he's trading today with a 14-day FREE pass.
- ATRO's revenue growth has slightly outpaced the industry average of 6.5%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues rose by 10.2%. This growth in revenue does not appear to have trickled down to the company's bottom line, displayed by a decline in earnings per share.
- ATRO's debt-to-equity ratio is very low at 0.24 and is currently below that of the industry average, implying that there has been very successful management of debt levels. Along with the favorable debt-to-equity ratio, the company maintains an adequate quick ratio of 1.10, which illustrates the ability to avoid short-term cash problems.
- The net income growth from the same quarter one year ago has exceeded that of the S&P 500 and the Aerospace & Defense industry average. The net income increased by 9.4% when compared to the same quarter one year prior, going from $5.17 million to $5.66 million.
- ASTRONICS CORP's earnings per share declined by 7.5% in the most recent quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago. The company has suffered a declining pattern of earnings per share over the past year. However, we anticipate this trend reversing over the coming year. During the past fiscal year, ASTRONICS CORP reported lower earnings of $1.55 versus $1.76 in the prior year. This year, the market expects an improvement in earnings ($1.83 versus $1.55).
- Reflecting the weaknesses we have cited, including the decline in the company's earnings per share, ATRO has underperformed the S&P 500 Index, declining 24.03% from its price level of one year ago. Turning toward the future, the fact that the stock has come down in price over the past year should not necessarily be interpreted as a negative; it is one of the factors that makes this stock an attractive investment.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
Hello. I was wondering if I qualify to be called a casual player.
I dont play everyday, and when I do play, the amount of time depends on if I have something else to do. For instance, I didnt play at all this past Monday, Tuesday I was able to play for about 4 hours after work, yesterday (Wednesday) I played for about an hour after dinner, but had a social club meeting to attend, and didnt play after I got home from said meeting.
When I do play, I dont care much for PVP, although I have run Warsong Gulch and the other BG's a few times.
Mostly, I am playing just to enjoy myself.
Does this qualify me as a casual player? If not, what description would fit?
Personally, I consider anyone who doesn't take part in time consuming things like raiding, to be casual. Honestly, there's not an exact meaning to it. Some people even consider themselves casual raiders and that's fine. As long as you are enjoying yourself in-game like you said, it doesn't really matter what you are. Everything doesn't need a title to it.
Gamer am I said...
Robin actually did a post on this topic. Here it is:


text: STATE OF IOWA, Plaintiff-Appellee, vs. CLIFFORD ARNELL GOODEN, III, Defendant-Appellant.Download as DOC IN THE COURT OF APPEALS OF IOWA No. 1-440 / 00-1175 Filed October 24, 2001 STATE OF IOWA, Plaintiff-Appellee, vs. CLIFFORD ARNELL GOODEN, III, Defendant-Appellant. Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Scott County, J. Hobart Darbyshire, Judge. Defendant appeals from the judgment and sentence entered upon his conviction for second-degree robbery. AFFIRMED. Penelope C. Souhrada, Davenport, for appellant. Thomas J. Miller, Attorney General, Kevin Cmelik, Assistant Attorney General, William E. Davis, County Attorney, and Kelly Cunningham, Assistant County Attorney, for appellee. Considered by Sackett, C.J., and Mahan and Hecht, JJ. MAHAN, J. Defendant Clifford Arnell Gooden, III, appeals from the judgment and sentence entered upon his conviction for second-degree robbery following a bench trial. He contends (1) there was not substantial evidence he committed second-degree robbery by committing an assault while aiding and abetting another who had the specific intent to commit a theft, (2) the district court erred in denying his motion for a new trial without providing a reason for the denial, and (3) trial counsel was ineffective in failing to conduct a thorough investigation. We affirm the conviction of second-degree robbery and preserve Gooden's claim of ineffective assistance of counsel for postconviction relief proceedings. Background Facts and Proceedings. Jerrold Versluys is a resident of East Moline, Illinois and has been on disability with a number of health problems, including alcoholism. In November 1999, he completed an inpatient alcohol treatment program at Genesis West Hospital in Davenport. While in the program, he established a close friendship with Cynthia Ivory. On December 21, 1999, after receiving a disability settlement claim check, Versluys began drinking again and was in the process of relapsing. Because he did not want to completely relapse, Versluys decided to seek the help of Ivory. He decided to look for Ivory at Helen's Tap in Davenport. Upon arriving at Helen's Tap, Versluys began to inquire about Ivory's whereabouts. A woman known as "Peaches" offered her assistance informing Versluys that Ivory was at Don's Tavern and she would take him there. Before they left, Peaches made a telephone call. Shortly after entering Versluys's vehicle, Peaches demanded twenty dollars as payment for her help in finding Ivory. Versluys told her he would not give her any money until Ivory was found. When Versluys refused, Peaches attacked him, grabbed the steering wheel and removed his keys. Once the vehicle stopped, Gooden got into the vehicle through the passenger door and began to physically assault Versluys while Peaches was trying to retrieve his billfold and was physically assaulting Versluys through the driver's side door. Versluys was struggling with these two individuals and began honking the vehicle's horn, which attracted the attention of two residents from a nearby apartment building. Gooden and Peaches left the scene and walked in the direction of Helen's Tap. Versluys suffered various injuries as a result of the attack. The police apprehended Gooden at Helen's Tap shortly after the incident, and the two independent witnesses and Versluys identified him as the assailant. The police also apprehended a woman believed to be Peaches, who the victim was unable to positively identify. However, one of the witnesses, Steve Lamp, was positive the woman apprehended was Peaches, and the police took her into custody. While at the police department, Gooden insisted the woman in custody was not Peaches, so the officers released the woman from custody.[1] In a trial information filed January 25, 2000, Gooden was charged with second-degree robbery, a class "C" felony, in violation of Iowa Code sections 703.1, 711.1(1)(2), and 711.3 (1999) (Count I); assault while participating in a felony, a class "C" felony, in violation of Iowa Code sections 703.1 and 708.3 (Count II); and fourth-degree theft, a serious misdemeanor, in violation of Iowa Code sections 703.1, 714.1(1) and 714.2(4) (Count III).[2] On April 13, 2000, defendant filed a written waiver of jury trial. A bench trial commenced on May 16, 2000, in Scott County District Court. On June 2, 2000, the court found Gooden guilty of second-degree robbery.[3] The defendant filed a motion for a new attorney, motion for recusal, motion to strike the testimony of Versluys, motion for new trial, and motion for judgment of acquittal. The court denied these motions, and sentenced Gooden for a term of incarceration not to exceed ten years. Gooden appeals. Sufficiency of the Evidence. Gooden contends there was insufficient evidence to convict him of second-degree robbery. We review challenges to the sufficiency of evidence for errors at law. State v. Button, 622 N.W.2d 480, 483 (Iowa 2001). In a jury-waived trial, the court is the fact finder. State v. Sinclair, 622 N.W.2d 772, 778 (Iowa Ct. App. 2000). "We review a trial court's findings in a jury-waived case as we would a jury verdict: If the verdict is supported by substantial evidence, we will affirm." Id. Substantial evidence means evidence that could convince a rational trier of fact the defendant is guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. Id. In deciding whether there is substantial evidence, we view the record in a light most favorable to the State. Id. All evidence is considered, not merely the evidence supporting the verdict. Id. Direct and circumstantial evidence are equally probative. Id. A verdict can rest on circumstantial evidence alone. State v. Shortridge, 589 N.W.2d 76, 80 (Iowa Ct. App. 1998). The inferences to be drawn from the proof in a criminal case must "raise a fair inference of guilt as to each essential element of the crime." State v. Casady, 491 N.W.2d 782, 787 (Iowa 1992). Evidence is not substantial if it raises only suspicion, speculation or conjecture. Id. Gooden asserts the evidence was so contradictory no rational trier of fact could find him guilty of second-degree robbery beyond a reasonable doubt. We disagree. When evidence is in conflict, it is the role of the district court, as the finder of fact, to resolve this conflict in light of its own credibility assessments. State v. Hopkins, 576 N.W.2d 374, 377 (Iowa 1998). The district court concluded, and we agree, the testimony of the two independent witnesses, and the police officer who interviewed the victim at the scene, significantly substantiated Versluys's recitation of events surrounding the robbery. In addition, eyewitness Steve Lamp made an unequivocal, positive identification of Gooden both at the scene and in court. Nothing in the record demonstrates a basis on which to disturb this determination. Furthermore, by Gooden's own admission and the testimony of the witnesses, he was present at the scene of the crime, he entered Versluys's vehicle while Peaches was physically attacking and forcibly attempting to retrieve Versluys's billfold, a physical altercation ensued between himself and Versluys from which Versluys suffered various injuries, and he abruptly left the scene with Peaches. Viewing all the evidence in the light most favorable to the State, we find Gooden's conviction and sentence supported by substantial evidence in the record, and affirm the district court's ruling. [4] Motion for New Trial. Gooden contends the district court erred in denying his motion for a new trial without providing a reason for the denial. The standard of review for an award or a denial of a motion for new trial is for abuse of discretion. State v. Ellis, 578 N.W.2d 655, 658- 59 (Iowa 1998). In order to show an abuse of discretion, the defendant must show the court exercised its discretion on grounds or for reasons clearly untenable or to an extent clearly unreasonable. State v. Martinez, 621 N.W.2d 689, 695 (Iowa Ct. App. 2000). In ruling on motions for new trial, the district court has broad but not unlimited discretion. Iowa R. App. P. 14(f)(3). We are slower to interfere with the grant of a new trial than with its denial. Iowa R. App. P. 14(f)(4). The district court must apply the "weight of the evidence" test in its ruling on motions for new trial. Ellis, 578 N.W.2d at 659. A verdict is contrary to the weight of the evidence where a greater amount of credible evidence supports one side of an issue or cause than the other. Id. at 658. The district court heard arguments from the attorneys for both the State and Gooden during a hearing on the motion for new trial. Gooden's written motion for new trial set forth the proper standard of review. In addition, Gooden's counsel commenced his argument on the motion as follows: Mr. Triemer: That brings me to the final motion, which is the Motion for New Trial. I think the Court is aware that the Motion for New Trial, the standard of review is a little different than that for a Motion for Judgment of Acquittal, in that it's a much broader weight of the evidence standard. . . . Gooden does not claim the district court used an improper standard in ruling on the motion. Instead, he argues the district court erred in failing to provide a reason for the denial of the motion. Gooden's motion for new trial was heard along with other post-trial motions just prior to sentencing. The record shows Gooden was belligerent throughout the proceedings. As the district court began to rule on the motion, the following exchange took place: The Court: Motion for New Trial is -- The Defendant: Denied, like you always do. You redneck. The Court: -- denied. Any other motions pending? Mr. Treimer: No, Your Honor. The Court: We'll proceed with the matter of sentencing. No objection was made to the ruling. In addition, no request was made for the district court to expand on the ruling. Iowa Rule of Criminal Procedure 23(2)(a) provides the grounds for granting a new trial shall be specified by the court. There is no such requirement for the denial of a motion for new trial. The important issue is whether the record in this case is sufficient for us to determine whether the district court abused its discretion. It is clear from the record the district court used the proper standard of review. We conclude, after a thorough review, the district court properly exercised its discretion in denying Gooden's motion for new trial. While it would be a better practice to state the reasons for denying the motion, the failure to do so in this case is not fatal. We affirm the district court on this issue. Ineffective Assistance of Counsel. Gooden claims his trial counsel was ineffective for failing to thoroughly investigate his case. We review such claims de novo. State v. Ledezma, 626 N.W.2d 134, 141 (Iowa 2001). Ordinarily we preserve claims of ineffective assistance of counsel raised on direct appeal for postconviction proceedings to allow full development of the facts surrounding counsel's conduct. State v. Atley, 564 N.W.2d 817, 833 (Iowa 1997). "Even a lawyer is entitled to his day in court, especially when his professional reputation is impugned." State v. Coil, 264 N.W.2d 293, 296 (Iowa 1978). We will resolve ineffective assistance of counsel claims on direct appeal when the record is adequate to decide the issue. State v. Arne, 579 N.W.2d 326, 329 (Iowa 1998). We conclude the record before us does not provide a sufficient basis for determining counsel's effectiveness. We therefore preserve Gooden's ineffective assistance of counsel claim for possible postconviction relief proceedings. AFFIRMED. ----------------------- [1] Peaches was never apprehended or charged for her participation in this incident. [2] Prior to trial, the State dismissed the allegation of fourth-degree theft. [3] The district court determined the assault charge merged with robbery, and acquitted Gooden of the assault charge. [4] One sentence of Gooden's brief appears to assert a claim-of-right defense. We decline to address this issue because Gooden failed to argue or provide legal support for this claim. See Iowa R. App. P. 14(a)(3) ("Failure in the brief to state, to argue or to cite authority in support of an issue may be deemed waiver of that issue."); Soo Line R.R. Co. v. Iowa Dep't of Transp., 521 N.W.2d 685, 691 (Iowa 1994) (holding a random mention of an issue, without elaboration or supportive authority, is insufficient to raise the issue for our consideration). See also Luke v. State, 465 N.W.2d 898, 903 (Iowa Ct. App. 1990). We deem Gooden waived the issue.

COLLIER COUNTY, Fla - It's a program that could save valuable seconds in an emergency and local law enforcement are pushing residents to create a Smart911 profile sooner rather than later. Smart911 is a safety profile available to anyone in Collier County.
It relays vital health information immediately to dispatchers if you call 911. Whether you have a child with an allergy or you have a heart condition, creating a profile will not only help you and your family, but it also helps support those affected in the Connecticut tragedy.
Smart911 is a free safety profile for anyone in Collier County. It's purpose is to give dispatchers and first responders specific information immediately.
"In my opinion we have to try everything we can, we do," says June McMahon. June was born deaf. She is speaking to me through a video relay service using an interpreter. If June needed to call 911, her profile would immediately pop up in front of the dispatcher informing them, she's deaf.
"They would be able to share that information at the hospital too and the fact that an interpreter would be needed," says June.
You can put as much or as little information in your profile. Your cell phone number, address, medications or disabilities.
Tom Axbey, CEO of Rave Mobile Safety says, "today 70 percent of the calls received come from mobile devices and when a caller calls from a mobile device, they have very little information about them. They don't have a name, they just have a number and maybe the x y coordinates of where they are."
Shelly and her husband live in Naples and haven't heard of Smart911, until now. "I have a lung disease, cystic fibrosis so i'm always afraid that by the time somebody would try and describe my background and medication and everything, times ticking and there's just too much to talk about."
Her husband adds, "I think this is brilliant. I'm going to go home and sign up right now."
You can create a profile for your children, even your pets. It's all information that makes a big difference for first responders.
In an effort to get more people to sign up, Rave Mobile Safety, the creators of Smart911 will donate $1 to the Sandy Hook Support Fund for every profile created between now and January 1st.
"What we decided to do is create a program that is a win win for the first responders and 911 call centers but also the people of Sandy Hook," says Axbey.
To create a safety profile go to www.smart911.com. Everything shared in your profile is protected and private.
The program is currently available in Collier County and nine other counties in Florida. Smart911 is also available in 26 states and more than 300 municipalities.

By Leonid Bershidsky

Russian President Vladimir Putin must be watching with a mixture of gloating and foreboding as neighboring Ukraine struggles with a daunting task: keeping its dignity as host of the European Cup 2012, the continent's main soccer event.

For the rulers of ex-Soviet nations, winning the right to host prestigious international tournaments is a matter of national pride, a way to put their countries on the map. Ukraine will be first when Euro 2012, which it is co-hosting with Poland, kicks off in two months. Then comes Russia, with the winter Olympics in 2014 and the soccer World Cup in 2018.

But as the experience of Ukraine is demonstrating, political leaders' dreams of grandeur clash with a harsher reality: For local businesspeople, the sporting events represent a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to rip off a bunch of foreigners.

On April 6, Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovich had to issue a special directive to ministers responsible for Euro 2012 preparations, telling them to drive down hotel rates in Ukraine "to economically justified levels." During the competition in June, a night at a Kyiv hotel will cost, on average, 247 euros, compared to 111 euros in Warsaw, Poland, according to media reports.

Not surprisingly, 13 of the 16 national teams taking part in the Euro have chosen to stay in Poland, even though eight face first-round games in Ukraine. Of the remaining three teams, one is local and so does not need to stay in hotels. The other two are the Swedes and the French. The Danes tried to rent a hotel in the Ukrainian port town of Odessa, but opted for Poland after its owners drove up the price from 200 euros to 500 euros per night.

The naked greed far exceeds what fans have seen at recent events of this magnitude in other countries. The weekly magazine Focus wrote of a normally inexpensive Kharkiv hotel charging the price of a small car for its Euro package and of others driving up rates by a factor of ten and more. During Euro 2008, Vienna hotels merely doubled their rates.

Private apartment owners have joined the gold rush, offering their flats to soccer fans for weekly fees higher than the normal annual rent. Taxi fares are expected to go up by at least 20 percent, and many restaurants are preparing to mark up their menus by about 50 percent.

Beneficiaries are less than apologetic, despite an uproar in the Ukrainian media and blogs. As one hotel near the newly built stadium in Donetsk, called the Econom, posted on its web site after raising its single room rate to 225 euros per night, from 17 euros: "Okay, gentlemen. We are fully booked. Good luck searching for cheap hotels. Smile more often."

Apart from the hotel owners, few people are smiling -- least of all European soccer fans, a thrifty and not particularly prosperous bunch. The magazine Futbol published a long-winded complaint by an anonymous German journalist who visited Ukraine to take a look at Euro preparations.

"We Europeans are not the fat cats you and your bureaucrats for some reason imagine us to be," the journalist wrote. "We are far from overjoyed by the thought that someone in Ukraine wants to live well at our expense."

The diatribe was widely quoted in Ukrainian blogs and received a surprising amount of sympathy from the locals -- at least those who do not own hotels or rent out apartments. As one blogger wrote: "It is hard to argue, unless you're blinded by patriotism."

Deputy Prime Minister Boris Kolesnikov, one of the recipients of the presidential directive on hotel rates, said he understood hotel owners' motives. "Greed often comes from poverty," he said, but "even for Western tourists, prices have to be adequate." He added that the government had the right to expect hoteliers to cooperate: After all, it had given them a five-year corporate tax holiday in preparation for the Euro.

The tax break is a small part of the Ukrainian authorities' investment in the soccer cup. Ever since Ukraine won its independence from Russia 20 years ago, it has struggled to show it was more of a European nation than its powerful neighbor to the east. According to Yanukovich, the government has spent 3.3 billion euros on preparations, building stadiums and airport terminals and improving infrastructure. For months, Ukrainian cities have been adorned with billboards saying, "We Look Forward to the Euro."

Things often went slower than expected. Donetsk tried and failed to open its first subway line, but that is not considered a big loss because the line would bypass the new soccer stadium. A public competition to create a new logo for the capital, Kyiv, disintegrated into squabbling when city authorities hesitated to accept the design that won the popular vote on a special website. News soon leaked out that the son of a deputy mayor had been the runner-up. The logo won't be ready in time for the Euro.

As Putin will find out when it comes time for Russia to host its own global spectacle, it is not enough for the government to spend billions and call on the nation to put on a good show for the world. Many people do not share the official notion of national prestige – or simply do not care enough about it. In both Ukraine and Russia, it is a widely held perception that much of the money invested in preparing for the sporting events gets stolen by bureaucrats and their pet contractors. So those private citizens who have an opportunity for one-time gain are not about to pass it up, even if it makes Putin or Yanukovich look bad.

Isn't It Time Casey Anthony's Mom Fessed Up about the 911 Calls?
The little girl's body was later discovered near the Anthony home, and Caylee's mother, Casey, was charged with murder. One of the first clues revealed in the case was that Casey's car had been discovered abandoned in a parking lot. When George Anthony, Caylee's grandfather, and Cindy went to retrieve the vehicle from a tow yard, it apparently reeked -- bad. Investigators concluded that the smell was consistent with that of a decomposing body.
Now, almost two years have passed since Caylee went missing, and Cindy Anthony -- who was subpoenaed to appear in court on July 15th -- will finally have to answer the highly contested question: What did she smell in the back of Casey's car? Cindy has told three very different stories:
Excerpt from July 15, 2008, 911 call: "There's something wrong. I found my daughter's car today, and it smells like there's been a dead body in the damn car!"
To WESH reporters in September 2009: "There was a bag of pizza for, like, 12 days in the trunk of the car, full of maggots. It stunk so bad ... you know how hot it's been."
On "Good Morning America," June 15, 2010:
GMA reporter: "You didn't mean that [there was dead body]; you just wanted the police out faster?"
Cindy: "No, I never thought that."Which one of Cindy's stories do you think is true?
Listen to Cindy Anthony's 911 call:
The dominant theme in the foyer is medievalism with a life-sized knight in shining armor "guarding" the large double doors, and an equally threatening armored warhorse peeking around the corner.

For you Florida drivers incensed by the unblinking eye of Big Brother, or, to be more exact, by the citations doled out by red light cameras, here's a thought:
Don't run red lights.
When the traffic light turns yellow, don't accelerate.
When the light turns red, don't blast through the intersection.
A nice secondary effect, aside from cheating Big Bro out of his $158 "failure to stop" fine, is that by stopping at the red light, you won't kill me. Or any other pedestrian or bicycle rider or hapless driver who mistakenly assumed that in Florida, a green light signals that it's safe to proceed across the intersection.
Red light cameras save lives and reduce serious injuries. Fewer idiots, denied their inalienable right to run red lights, precipitate brutal T-bone crashes. A 12-county study by the state Legislature's Office of Program Policy Analysis & Government Accountability found that the number of fatalities fell 49 percent at Florida intersections where cameras had been installed. That accounted for 18 fewer deaths, not to mention 69 fewer serious injuries, in those counties.
The Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles reported that an overwhelming majority of communities with red light cameras (56 of 59) reported a decrease in the number of intersection crashes.
And people learn. Even idiots. The department found that 95 percent of the drivers zapped by a red-light camera have not received a second citation.
Traffic safety, however, doesn't much matter to Rep. Frank Artiles of Miami and Sen. Jeff Brandes of St. Petersburg, who have filed bills this legislative session that would stop cities and counties from installing new red-light cameras and eliminate local government's share of the fines.
Apparently, the cameras, which generated $118.9 million in revenue during the 2012-13 fiscal year, offend their libertarian sensibilities. Sen. Brandes calls the fines "a backdoor tax." He complained that cities and counties were exploiting red-light fines to pad their budgets.
Well, why not tax the reckless?
Last year, red light-running knuckleheads in Fort Lauderdale, where I live, paid about $2.5 million in citations, which was divvied up with 47 percent going to the city, 53 percent to the state. That meant fewer dollars extracted from law-abiding residents for city services, after the cameras' vendors are paid off. By not running red lights, we received an automatic exemption from Brandes' feared "backdoor tax."
Take that, Big Brother.
Admittedly, the 53 percent share going to the state isn't a fair disturbution. Most of the 922 intersections outfitted with cameras are in South and Central Florida. Miami, for example, sent $6.5 million in red-light citation collections up to Tallahassee. Miami Gardens contributed $3.2 million, North Miami $2 million. Meanwhile, the money needed to pay the vendors comes out of the city and county shares (an average of about 50 percent of the local take.) The state contributes nothing toward the camera lease contracts.
But the Brandes and Artiles bills, rather than address the state-local inequity, would only punish city and county taxpayers. Fines would be reduced to $83 from $158 by wiping out local government's $75 cut. All the money would go to the state. The only revenue cities and counties would be allowed to collect would be a surcharge just large enough to cover existing contracts with camera vendors. Any excess money collected through the surcharge goes straight to Tallahassee. The bill also would ban installation of any new cameras after July 1.
The Florida League of Cities, the whipped dogs of Florida's various governments, opposes the measure. The League stated, "Due to budget constraints and unfunded mandates, local governments commonly have limited law-enforcement resources, and photo enforcement helps stretch those resources. Paired with traditional law-enforcement techniques, red-light safety camera technology makes Florida's streets safer for drivers, bikers and pedestrians."
But both Senate President Don Gaetz and House Speaker Will Weatherford said they'd support the Brandes-Artiles bills, which would return Florida cities to that wonderful era when red lights no longer impinged on a freedom-loving citizen's right to speed through an intersection.
After all, state lawmakers — no matter how much they loathe big-government interference from Washington — delight in so-called "preemption" bills that allow Tallahassee to overrule the judgment of local elected officials. This is why counties can't prohibit gunslingers from packing heat in their parks or why cities can't regulate backyard gun ranges. This is why local governments can't ban exotic animals, no matter how dangerous, or prohibit smoking in parks or playgrounds. And now Tallahassee seems intent on preempting a life-saving, crash-reducing traffic-safety initiative right out of existence.
Oh my, how our legislators do love to lord it over local government. Tallahassee always knows what's best for cities and counties. Talk about Big Brother.

Labour's Damien O'Connor has won back his West Coast-Tasman seat, his gamble of turning down a list place paying off.
Mr O'Connor upset his party with accusations it was run by a "gaggle of gays and unionists", but that appears to have gone down well with Coasters, who delivered him a 2287 winning margin on Saturday night.
Provisional results saw him tally 14,646 votes, ahead of National's Chris Auchinvole's 12,359.
Mr O'Connor lost West Coast-Tasman in 2008 to Mr Auchinvole by a margin of 971, which sent the former cabinet minister into the wilderness briefly, but he returned to parliament as a list MP in 2009.
However, he eschewed the possibility of a free ride into Parliament on the list system for this election.
The West Coast-Tasman race had its quirks.
Green Party candidate Kevin Hague earned 1796 votes but earlier admitted he would vote for Mr O'Connor in a bid to unseat Mr Auchinvole.
Also in the race was former bank robber and anti-1080 campaigner Clyde Graf, who garnered 423 votes.
While dumping Mr Auchinvole, the electorate did not appear to hold a grudge against the National government. In the party vote they backed National with 14,340 votes to Labour's 8510.

All Things Wen(t)z10 Reviews
just read it.
In more ways than one did I feel and possibly look like a disgruntled, moronic asshole. I gave up on Evie. And more importantly (as horrible as it seems to put anything higher in importance than her) I gave up on Serafina; our five month old, Hebrew influenced named, black haired angel with eyes the size of baby worlds (even if those worlds were brown; the Wen(t)z brown). We were like that movie Closer/, that song /Wake Up or maybe we were in our own little world. Unfortunately, that world was currently being destroyed by my selfish acts of (trying to) fixing things between us. The look on Evie's face wasn't one I was expecting. It was almost like she wasn't surprised that I walked out on her...again. I would most defiantly be going to hell for this.
I glanced around the boardwalk, cursing under my breath that my subconscious brought me to one of the things Evie and I held in common. We had minds filled with unattainable power, and this was the very boardwalk we came on our own to think. The day we bumped into each other made both of us understand the other a little more. But that was ages ago, back in the days when Evie was barely legal at the fresh age of 18 and I was a hopeless romantic, thriving off the words she and I had shared. This was before she knew who Andy was and before everything went downhill for us. Back in the days of best friends and ice cream headaches. Those days were golden, lost between my curious mind and wandering hands and Evie's 'too-nice-to-say-no' attitude. That disappeared just as quickly as her failed engagement with two young FOB' did.
The sun was a half an hour from setting, the horizon out in the distance, past the shining blue water of the lake, spit out golden rays of orange and yellow, the sky glowing in a aura of colors not even Bob Ross could capture.
"There," I joked to myself, my eyes hazy with those guilt-trip tears that if anybody saw would immediately counter with those two words I hated. "What's wrong," I voiced. My head hung and I kicked at the wood of the board walk before walking down towards the bench at the peak of it. An old man sat there, a sketch book in his hand, drawling what looked to be a girl sitting on a bench.
"Would you mind if I sat here?" I mumbled; voice nervous. The man smiled warmly and nodded, eyeing me as I plopped down and began to twiddle my thumbs. He continued to sketch the outline of the girl's face, the bench being graced by her presence.
"Tell me," the man started, glancing in my direction. "What's bothering you, young man?" I lowered my eyes to my lap, watching as sun reflected off the silver band placed across my wedding finger.
"A girl," The old man hummed.
"Ah, I see," He paused and glanced in my direction. "But it's not your fiancé," I turned my head to stare at him.
"How did you know that?" I asked. The old man smirked, carefully drawing in wonderful eyes for the girl.
"You're wearing an engagement band," he paused. "That and you look too young to be /married/," I sighed.
"She's a wonder, my girl," The old man paused in his drawling and turned his head to study my profile.
"Tell me about this girl you love," I felt my heart beat against my chest.
"You're right about that," I smiled softly. "I do love her," I closed my eyes. "There's so much to tell," The old man sighed.
"I sit here 12 hours a day," he laughed. "I have time," I nodded and gulped slightly.
"She has brown eyes, but not those boring, generic brown eyes that 54% of the population has. The kind that when you stare into, you find yourself almost going crazy," I groaned slightly. "They are just as captivating as her arms are when she wraps them around my shoulders,"
"Ah, the hug of a goddess," I sighed, feeling hopeless.
"She makes the most amazing peanut butter and jelly sandwiches," I muttered. "And can cook a mean Mac & cheese when we were home alone," The old man smiled softly.
"Kitchen challenged, both of you," I felt my cheeks flare.
"Yeah," I breathed. "Her favorite thing in the world is waking up on Sunday morning to find it's raining and time all the nearby churches, so we can go out to the park and swing without anybody being there," I paused. "Her hands are the softest I've ever held," The old man sighed, his smile widening.
"Silk against leather," he paused. "The perfect half to make a whole," I gasped slightly.
"You've read /Golden/?" The old man nodded.
"Such an amazing book," I sighed.
"She always quoted things too," I paused. "Every time we got take out she'd laugh as I ate rice," He smirked.
"Lost Boys," I nodded.
"She never got sick of things," The old man watched as I let out an exasperated sigh. "And to see her stomach round with my first born child," I gulped. "Was the most vibrant my heart has ever been," The man nodded once.
"She's perfect in the sense," he cleared his throat. "That she fits into you like puzzle piece to puzzle piece," I looked out to see the sun slipping away. Time goes by fast.
"She's the one that was designed to fit in my bed with me," I lowered my head. "She was the only one my mom ever liked,"
The old man clamped a strong hand on my shoulder. I looked up to see his drawling done. The picture was simple, but the girl's eyes were in so much detail it was like she was defining every flaw in you, even if she was produced by a simple number two pencil.
"Is that her, over there?" he asked, his voice soft as he eyes across the boardwalk.
I whipped my head around to see Evie, in the flesh taking a seat down that faced away from us. 200 feet away, my heart raced and I looked to find the old man walking away with his things. I stood up and slowly started to walk towards where Evie sat at the bench, wrapped tightly in her sweater, one denim hole gracing her left knee. I stopped behind her and watched as she turned her head slightly to look at my shadow.
"How'd you know I'd be here?" she whispered, voice hoarse from crying; I knew. I walked around the bench and sat next to her, keeping the foot distance between us.
"This is our spot," I whispered. Evie hummed.
"I'm not surprised," she whispered.
"I'm sorry, Ev," She kept her vision forward, expression unfazed as I studied her profile.
"I know," she croaked. "I know you are," she forced a smile and I gulped, moving my hand across the space to place my hand over hers. Evie looked down at our hands for the longest time before flicking her palm up and lacing our hands together.
"How," I coughed to get rid of my raspy voice. "Is she doing?" I asked in a whisper. Evie knitted her eyebrows together.
"I'm sorry," she voiced. "But I thought you didn't want anything to do with it," I avoided eye contact.
"That was a week ago," Evie sighed and shook her head.
"She's fine, Pete," she mumbled, half heartily.
I looked towards the parking lot off in the distance, lamp posts flickering on as the sun set completely and in the ten minutes of silence we shared, darkness swallowed us whole.
"I'll take you home," I voice, looking down at her. She was tracing the key-hole tattoo with her 'in-need-of-a-touch-up' French tip finger nail. She nodded once.
Pete didn't even talk himself into my house. And he didn't even begin to talk at all as I led myself upstairs, his body following me.
"Evie," he called.
He stood staring into Serafina's room, his eyes holding this empty look. I was just about to open my bedroom door, but instead made the stupid mistake of walking slowly over to him and standing right next to him, staring in as well.
"For five months I took care of her in this house, Pete," I whispered. "She was the only Christmas present I got," Pete sighed and looked down at me.
"I'm really starting to feel I've put myself in a very promising situation," he whispered, bringing his hand up to stare at the blinding silver band.
"Adine might be able to be a good mother," I whispered. Pete stared at me.
"Ha," he sarcastically put, sighing and looking back into the room. "I still can't believe I couldn't link that little bundle of Wentz back to me," I gulped.
"Heather gave a good story," I whispered. Pete looked away.
"I can't stand it," he whispered again, walking past me. I caught up to him as he entered my bedroom, eyeing the pictures above the light switch. "I still have this picture," he mumbled, pointing to the one where he held me bridal style. I smiled and walked towards my closet where I pulled out a pair of pajamas.
"It's for sentimental reasons," I voiced. Pete nodded, glancing over but quickly looking away as he noticed me changing into more comfortable clothes.
"Everybody needs to keep those kinds of things," he whispered, walking towards my bed and sitting on the edge of it. He placed my stuffed cow on his lap and sighed, sounding miserable.
"Pete," I called, sitting next to him and making him look at me. "Why do you feel you have to marry Adine?" I asked. "Other than the fact she's having your kid," Pete frowned.
"I'd rather you not question me and her," I looked away, defeated. "I'd rather you question me and you," I smiled.
"Our situation is best described as a honeymoon setting," I spoke, making sure our eyes locked. Pete nodded.
"How can you read my mind like that, Ev?" he asked. I shrugged lightly.
"How long have we been friends," I paused. "Err," Pete lifted his hand and pushed some of my hair out of my face, tucking it behind my hair. His hand lingered.
"Almost six years," I gulped.
"Six years," I repeated. Pete nodded but seemed distant.
"Ev," he mumbled. I hummed. "I'm going to do something very stupid," I blinked.
"What are you talking..." he cut me off.
"Shut up," he whispered.
He kissed me.
When we parted, Pete stayed staring into my eyes. "Captivating brown," he mumbled, eyes shifting from one eye to the other. I winced.
"I think you should leave," He eyed me.
"What?" I pulled him up and pushed him towards the door.
"Go home," I hissed. "Take care of Adine," I paused.
"Your /future/,"

I liked the location, because even though you are still in the city, you feel like you are away. I liked the service and breakfast , the pool and our room was fantastic and so was the view
Checking in Food Sleep View Everything
Nothing I didn't like
For the price, there really were no negative parts of being here. This gave me a great night's sleep after hours of traveling.
It was very clean and elegant, helpful staff with a great sense of professionalism, rooms were comfortable.
My room didn't have a frig or microwave and the area wasn't too bad but not good, free parking was limited, nothing within walking distance
Very clean with a nice, comfortable bed and free wi-fi. No restaurant onsite, but one within walking distance and great, reasonably priced takeout options available. (Menus in lobby.) Very friendly staff and decent breakfast.
Free shuttle is a nice service but when I was there, the shuttle was unreliable (30 minutes late). Had to take a cab to the airport. Minor inconvenience, but I don't think the hotel runs the shuttle service. It's a contractor.
convenience to airport
air conditioner noisy and didn't work that well.
Location, cleanliness,...
Staff at front desk was just ok,but all other staff was great!
Beds were very comfortable, rooms were clean and quiet, airport shuttle was convenient and breakfast to go bag (which they brought to us as we boarded the shuttle, since we were leaving before the 6am complimentary continental breakfast was put out) was AWESOME! very convenient and comfortable for overnight near LaGuardia, would stay here again for sure
Hallways and common spaces seemed a little dirty (needed vacuuming), shower in our room (an accessible room) didn't drain properly and so water went all over the bathroom floor
This very nice - comfortable room - great breakfast spread - good shuttle service
Close to the LaGuardia airport, free bus shuttle service. Nice breakfast.
Floor carpet is not dry, you can feel humidity walking on it. Also, if the receptionist can be a little bit more efficient in helping us check-in, that will be great.
I like the room it was very comfy.
Not enough free parking
I like everything
Good location, near the LaGuardia Airport. Nice breakfast.
If the receptionist can be a little bit more efficient helping us checking in, that will be perfect.
Clean, and bed was comfortable
Breakfast was rxcellent with lots if different choices.
There are no shops around.
Clean rooms, friendly and helpful staff. Good breakfast. Maid was very good at her job. Very safe hotel.
Advertise indoor pool but the pool is from the next door hotel and you get to use it. This was not good. Also our room you could hear the elevator every time it went past.
Everything good
I felt the floor carpet in the room a little bit damp with humidity. It would be nice if it can be felt dry.
Incredibly friendly staff. Free airport shuttle. Very clean. Very comfortable.
Bathroom sink was so high I had to stand on my toes to use it!
Convenient and comfortable.
heating was not too good considering the weather was very cold.
Could have better breakfast. More gluten and dairy free items
Proximity to Airport. Friendly staff. Clean and comfortable rooms!
I have a requested an electronic copy of my receipt for my stay, and have not received it yet.
Very clean, staff was friendly and professional.
Room wasn't cleaned all morning and no one came until 4:00 p.m. to clean, by then forget it
No room service
Easy to get to, we were traveling at night.
Pool not on the premises and schedule was not noted. Closed early.

John McCain releases statement on Petraeus resignation
Sen. John McCain released the following statement on Friday after CIA Director David Petraeus resigned as the result of an extramarital affair.
It has not been altered in any way.
"General David Petraeus will stand in the ranks of America's greatest military heroes. His inspirational leadership and his genius were directly responsible - after years of failure - for the success of the surge in Iraq. General Petraeus has devoted his life to serving the country he loves, and America is so much the better for it. We are immensely grateful for General Petraeus's decades of work on behalf of our nation, our military, and our security. Our thoughts and prayers are with him and his family."

"I know," said DeGeneres as Garfield visibly fidgeted.
"I ain't trying to get into nothing, I'm just saying," Foxx said before Garfield politely but firmly told him, "Drop it, just drop it."

Smiling and laughing – and sharing details of her workout, which includes, Pilates, yoga and yes, pole dancing, three times a week – Lohan, 27, told DeGeneres in an episode of the Ellen DeGeneres Show airing Monday that she's found more balance as her reality series for Oprah Winfrey's OWN network has finished shooting.

UNION - Kean University will host an exhibit, Breaking News: How the Associated Press Has Covered War, Peace, and Everything Else in the Universitys Nancy Thomson Library throughout March. The exhibit, based on a 2007 book of the same name detailing the APs 162-year history, contains photos and images from the news organizations archives that also recount some of the leading events in our nations history.
The exhibit tells how the AP documented such breaking news as the San Francisco earthquake of 1906 and the terror attack on the World Trade Center in 2001. Visitors will learn how AP reporter Joseph I. Gilbert borrowed Abraham Lincolns own handwritten draft of the Gettysburg Address to provide the most accurate account of what the President said at that solemn occasion in 1863.
Memories of the APs civil rights coverage include the story of scrappy AP reporter Kathryn Johnson, pictured in 1961 when she wore bobby sox and a sweater so she would look like a student and could get on the University of Georgia campus to see Charlayne Hunter integrate the school on her first day of classes.
Other panels in the exhibit focus on APs foreign correspondents, aviation milestones, memorable moments in sports, the White House beat and famous courtroom dramas, including the Lindbergh kidnapping trial in 1935 and O.J. Simpsons not-guilty verdict 60 years later.
The exhibit is free and open to the public and will be on display during regular library hours: Monday through Thursday, 8 a.m. to midnight; Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.; Saturday, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.; and Sunday, 1 p.m. to 10 p.m.
Kathleen Carroll, Executive Editor of the Worlds Largest News Organization, Featured in Kean University Lecture
Kean University will also host several events related to the exhibit, including a talk by Kathleen Carroll, AP Executive Editor. She will discuss the news business and the challenges awaiting young journalists on March 12 at 6:30 p.m. in the universitys Center for Academic Success, Room 106.
Carroll is the APs highest-ranking newsperson. She directs the organizations daily coverage and supervises its global news staff, which includes some 3,000 journalists in 243 bureaus located across 97 countries.
Carrolls career with the AP dates back to 1978, when she took her first AP post in the Dallas bureau. She has since served in various roles in the Newark, Los Angeles and Washington bureaus. Carroll was named to the APs top spot in 2002, becoming the first woman to serve as Executive Editor.
The AP dates its founding to 1846, when the heads of six New York newspapers agreed to share the cost of gathering and transmitting by telegraph the news from the Mexican War and other points far from the city. Today, on any given day, more than half the world's population sees news from AP (www.ap.org).

What is energy?
View Single Post
Jun17-11, 10:43 PM
Quote by
Care to elaborate on exactly what you mean by posting that equation?
I hope you don't mind if I butt in here.
I don't know about other people, but I've found that the relationship that Einstein discovered between mass and energy is easy to forget. I tend to think of matter and its mass (measure of inertia) as distinct from energy which is defined as the ability to do work. If we equate mass and energy, we have the following:
the tendency of a body at rest to stay at rest and a body in motion to stay in motion = the ability to do work
Although the two characteristics may seem similar in some ways, they are hardly obviously the same.
Some physicists claim that matter and energy are much the same, though. At the subatomic level, matter appears to be essentially energy. At the macro level, the differences become much more pronounced. I believe that this paradox can be reconciled by noting the old maxim: the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. It's the way energy is "put together" to make matter that makes something like hydrogen or lead so much different than light or radio waves.
So what can we make of E = mc^2? Like much of science, it may be counterintuitive. But as anybody who has studied relativity or quantum mechanics can attest, the world we live in doesn't always make sense.
