By Jim Wallace - bio | email ALBANY, GA (WALB) –The Georgia State Senate passed a "smash and grab" crime bill, that would double the amount of prison time for destructive burglars. Senators say the burglary rash is taking a huge financial toll on businesses.
Senate Bill 423 would make breaking into a Georgia retail business, causing $500 in damage, a felony, and even a first offense could get the burglar 20 years in prison.
South Georgia business owners and prosecutors say the stiffer punishment should help stop the crimes.
Take a look at this surveillance video, as a burglar smashes the front door glass of Miles Towing and Recovery on North Jefferson about 10 Monday night. The burglar alarm did not go off, but the cameras catch the bold thief rifling through desk drawers for about 30 seconds before taking off.
Miles Towing and Recovery Owner Michael Miles said "I had some money and I had a pistol in a drawer, and they got it."
The outside cameras show the burglar casing out the business, then throwing a rock through the front window. Lawmakers say crimes like this have surged statewide, taking a huge toll on small business.
Miles Towing employee Robin Owens said "It's extremely scary. Anybody can tell you whoever has come in here, they always come up to a locked door."
Senators say smash and grab burglaries like this have cost businesses nearly 4 million dollars in four years. That's why they passed a proposal that would make a crime like this punishable by 2 to 20 years in prison, and a $100,000 fine.
District Attorney Greg Edwards said "I have no problem with an additional penalty for that, because these types of crimes usually involve premeditation, organization, and you are going specifically for a particular retail establishment."
The folks at Miles Towing like the idea hope the stiffer penalty will keep others from smashing and grabbing.
Owens said "I think it will. I think it will make them think twice anyway. Hopefully."
Miles said "I know we are not going to get the money back or the gun, or anything like that. But at least if they get caught, that will be worth something."
And they want you to look closely at this thief, and if you can identify him call Albany Police and give them the information, so that he doesn't smash into any more businesses.
The Georgia Retail Association says there has been a dramatic increase in smash and grab burglaries in the last 4 years.
Senators also doubled the prison sentence to a possible ten years for adults who encourage a minor to commit a smash and grab burglary.
The smash and grab legislation was passed unanimously by the Georgia Senate.
If you have any information on the thief who burglarized Miles Towing on North Jefferson, call the Albany Police at 431-2100, or CRIME STOPPERS at 436-TIPS.

Back to school for YouTube copyright infringers
Google-owned YouTube has announced it will send copyright infringers back to school to re-establish their account.
The announcement on Thursday on YouTube's blog is a change from previous protocol, where three infringement notices resulted in account suspension. Now, after one notice, users must attend "YouTube Copyright School" where they will pass through six levels, including a tutorial video and a quiz to show they've learnt their copyright lesson.
Education about copyright, said YouTube was critical since the subject was a complicated one.
The change comes with YouTube's awareness that a "one-size-fits-all" format for copyright infringement isn't appropriate, with the blog giving the example of a dedicated YouTube user who has received two notifications years ago but has uploaded thousands of legitimate videos since. A third, possibly fraudulent video could get them suspended years after the initial infractions.
"We don't think that's reasonable"
The blog said YouTube will begin to remove copyright strikes from user's accounts "in certain limited circumstances" after completion of the Copyright School and a solid demonstration of good behaviour.
To accomodate these changes, YouTube has re-designed its copyright centre but Google's video sharing site said copyright was ultimately the responsibility of the user.

Anybody else here working out on a torn AC joint? Just wondering how your progress may be going?
Anybody else here working out on a torn AC joint? Just wondering how your progress may be going?
many of my friends and teammates have had ACL injuries
have you had surgery and/or are you rehabbing?
If you mean a torn shoulder AC, I have had one for 4 years now and cannot bench press with a barbell without a lot of pain, but I can do heavy Dips and heavy Dumbbell presses with no problem. My doctor told me to hold off for as long as I can stand the pain. The AC will heal but it will not be 100% unless surgery is performed. You will also develop a bone spur on the top of your shoulder where the AC is located. This also requires surgery to shave down.
If you do need surgery I hear its worth it and very simple. A lot better than getting your rotator cuff area worked on.

yes I do mean the shoulder. It has been a little over a year since Ive torn my AC joint. And it was completely torn. A rock wood III tear. I do have the prominent bone that sticks up in the shoulder. but I actually have more range of motion in the shoulder now with very little pain. Guess I'm lucky in that regaurd. My main concern was how it affected your overall progress in the gym.....ie are you able to make gains like before or are you lagging in the shoulder region because you are favoring your shoulder.
thanks for the replies guys.
Also guys I was fairly built before my injury so im trying to make a comeback.
I will be posting pics soon on my current status. I was a member before some may remember me "Kinetixtrainer". I was actually banned while I was out for my shoulder injury. I dont know why that happened but I hope that doesnt get me banned again. If any moderater can enlighten me on that situation would be nice. Please dont ban me again I mean no harm. but if anyone wishes to see what I looked like before my injury do a search under Kinetixtrainer and then click on my post 1st pic. The latest pics are on page 4 of the thread.
Also to the mods if you find that my being banned was a mistake could my original account be reactivated? Thanks Chris
I had to take about 6-9 months off from doing any shoulder lifting movement. I had a couple of Cortisol shots too but like any drug that euphoria was only temporary. After coming back I noticed, and still do several years later, that when I do a barbell bench the pain in the injured shoulder will become too much for me to continue. I was working out with 250 pounds barbell benching several years ago but just had to stop. So I guess the injury has held me back from any kind of Powerlifting competition. What is strange though is that I can Dip with 300 pounds(bodyweight + 75lb plates) and Dumbbell Bench with 100lb dumbbells with no pain whatsoever. It is hard to understand considering these two excercises are very shoulder intensive.
thanks for the feedback hard to squat. Its good to talk to someone who has gone through the same thing. In my circle of friends no one else has had to deal with this. but as far as the shoulder you injured, did you have surgery and if you did how did that go?
No, I have not had surgery on it. I tore the AC completely four years ago to the month actually. My Ortho surgeon said that he would recommend an operation only if it really impedes every day activities or if the shoulder is quite immobile. The only thing that causes me a problem in my life with the shoulder though is barbell benching, and I can live without those as long as I can still do Dips and Dumbbells w/o pain!
that is what my doc said as well. I actually have no pain when i bench. The knot on my shoulder drove me crazy while at the beach this summer though. Again thanks

Being Barbie
Is the Nicki Minaj image encouraging or problematic to the Black community?
The past year has undoubtedly been the year of Nicki Minaj for Hip Hop fans, but it is hard to say exactly what her appeal is. On the surface, it could be as simple as her lyricist skills, or it could be the fact that her "Pink wig, thick ass gives 'em whip blash." Again, it's hard to say. But boatloads of album sales and millions of Youtube views after the release of her first album, Pink Friday, Minaj is proving herself to be a consistent and unique fixture in the music industry. One thing that amuses her fans but rouses her critics are her alter egos, one of which being the 'Harajuku Barbie,' or simply the Barbie image. Psychiatric professionals argue whether or not such a sexual image coming from a Black woman with such a large influence based on this historic White toy is good or bad for the community, particularly its young women.
"One thing that makes Nicki Minaj so likable is her confidence," explained S. Florida's Dr. Jameca Falconer. "It has been a while since someone her age has been out and been so confident. Young girls connect her image to being eccentric and unique. It tells them that if they are different, they can be confident too."
For Dr. Mike Conner of San Francisco's Alliant International University, Minaj's Barbie persona is less about displaying confidence and more about showcasing that the Black community and it's ideals of beauty are lost. Sadder still, according to Conner, we have found a way to capitalize off of this fact.
"The Nicki Minaj image means we are lost," said Conner. "I find it problematic that we find a niche market where we can make money and exploit it. It's like we are saying that if we can make money doing it, then forget the community. Again, this shows that we are lost."
On the outside looking in, it is easy to not see the big deal. A Black woman in a blonde wig is rapping and associates herself with being like Barbie. How is this any different from �90s rapper Lil' Kim or the plethora of other Black, female rappers that have based their careers off of being seen as sexual play things for men? For San Francisco State University's Dean of Ethnic Studies Kenneth P. Monteiro, to understand the issue, you first have to understand the history of Barbie. According to Monterio, Barbie's roots come from the exaggerated idea of the beautiful, white woman that serves as a trophy to powerful white men; to reinstate White male fantasies. He admits that Madonna and Marilyn Monroe both successfully played off of this image, but it is a dangerous slope to tread, especially for minority women.
"The Barbie image is dangerous for all women, but especially for Black women because they are vulnerable to exploitation," he explained. "The idea is that women can either take this image and submit to men or take control over it and turn around its ideals in society."
The jury is still out and which one exactly Nicki Minaj has done, but may be more so revealed with the release of her second album, Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded. After all, the album's first single, "Stupid Hoe" has already broken Vevo's record, getting 4.8 million views the first day it was uploaded. If in fact Minaj is exploiting stereotypes, or even herself for that matter, she is doing so all the way to the bank.

Improper oil drain intervals can be the cause of turbo bearing trouble. While most owner-operators change oil more frequently than engine makers' common recommendations of 15,000 to 25,000 miles, it's wise to check maintenance records or to get oil analysis when acquiring a used truck.
Engines can act up because of the failure of some tiny component or deterioration in any number of places. Here are some common engine problems and the maintenance techniques that can keep you out of trouble.
One of the most common unit injector troubles results from a problem in a related system. Symptoms such as a gradual reduction in power output, normally without a lot of smoke, and a drop in fuel economy can be traced to failing to adjust the overheads – the closest thing there is to a tune-up on a heavy-duty diesel.
The overheads are adjustable rocker levers that operate the injectors and valves via the camshaft. After a lot of wear, the position of the injector will not be in the right relationship to the camshaft.
"You won't be using the full travel of the injector," says Doug Wilson, a Caterpillar analyst. The result is a lack of atomization of the fuel and reduced fuel delivery that you experience as a loss of power and fuel economy.
Engine makers require an adjustment of the overheads after the initial break-in period and then normally at infrequent intervals, especially on the latest engine models. Wilson says Caterpillar recommends doing them between 15,000 miles and 60,000 miles or after the third oil change. After that, go to 300,000 miles.
Peter Blonde, drivetrain engineer with Volvo Trucks of North America, says Volvo recommends an initial adjustment after three to six months or 50,000 miles. After that, the interval moves to 150,000 miles to 175,000 miles and 18 months.
Detroit Diesel's national service manager, Gene Walker, recommends an initial adjustment at 60,000 miles to 100,000 miles. "After that, it does not tend to change," he says. "If fuel economy and performance are good, the adjustment is likely OK."
Cummins' Zack Ellison, director of technical support, recommends the interval listed in the owner's manual. Not only do intervals differ between engines with in-block camshafts, like the N14 and those with overhead cams like the ISX/Signature, but Cummins has made modifications that have lengthened the intervals in recent years.
Wilson says it's hard to find misadjusted valve overheads, and when they are out of whack, "the symptoms don't exactly jump out at you." While wear in the mechanism can result in noisy valves that restrict air and exhaust flow, the most common wear pattern is valves that pound into the head and get too tight. This can result in overheating and burning.
Adjusting the valve overheads along with the injector rockers at recommended intervals will not only maintain engine performance and economy, but it will also prolong valve life.
Experts say it's critical to buy filters that meet the micron rating for your particular engine and to change filters at the specified interval. The recommended micron rating relates to the clearance between the injector plunger and body. Particles that exceed the rating will get trapped between the surfaces and score them.
