Matt Kenseth led the most laps of the Sprint Cup Aaron's 499 at Talladega Superspeedway.
Brad Keselowski jumped to the top of the leaderboard in the closing minutes of final practice for the Bojangles' Southern 500 at Darlington Raceway. His top speed was 175.880 mph.
Kevin Harvick can be added to the list of drivers with Darlington Stripes. His contact was relatively light and should not require a backup.
Just past the halfway point of final practice, Kyle Busch became the latest driver to get a Darlington Stripe. His damage was significant enough that he will roll out a backup.
Chase Elliott slapped the Darlington Raceway wall halfway through final practice. He sustained significant damage to the right side of his car and the team will need to evaluate whether a backup is needed. He hit the turn four wall.
Ryan Blaney is one of the drivers needing to qualify on time if he wants to race in the Bojangles' Southern 500 and he seems to be in pretty good shape. At the end of the first practice session, he wound up eighth on the chart wedged between Joey Logano and Denny Hamlin.
Sprint Cup driver Kyle Busch led the first practice session for the XFINITY Series VFW Sport Clips Help a Hero 200 at Darlington Raceway.
Kevin Harvick was fourth fastest in the first practice session for the Bojangles' Southern 500 at Darlington Raceway with a speed of 175.654 mph. He landed behind teammates Kurt Busch (175.842) and Tony Stewart (175.710).
Kurt Busch landed second on the speed chart behind Greg Biffle in the first round of practice for the Bojangles' Southern 500. His top speed was 175.842 mph.
Greg Biffle posted the fastest single lap in the first practice session for the Bojangles' Southern 500 at Darlington Raceway. His top speed was 176.201 mph, which was 0.359 mph faster than second-place Kurt Busch.
Austin Dillon got the first Darlington Stripe early in practice for the Bojangles' Southern 500. He slapped the wall hard enough to do significant damage and might have to go to a backup. The team is attempting to repair first.
A top-five is all but certain for Kevin Harvick this week. He enters the Bojangles' Southern 500 at Darlington as the defending winner from 2014, finished fifth there in 2013, and has five top-fives in the last six races of this season.

Taking Toxics Out of the Air
Part 3 - Summaries of Related Solid Waste Incineration Rules
EPA has also issued final rules to control emissions of certain air toxics from solid waste combustion facilities. These rules set emissions limits for new solid waste combustion facilities and provide emissions guidelines for existing solid waste combustion facilities under Section 129 of the Clean Air Act.
Municipal Waste Combustors
Final rule published December 19, 1995; amended August 25, 1997
- Municipal waste combustors include incinerators that burn waste and waste-to-energy plants that generate energy from garbage. EPA's final rule applies to all municipal waste combustion units with the capacity to burn more than 250 tons of garbage per day (known as large municipal waste combustion units; EPA has initiated development of rules for small municipal waste combustion units).
- Municipal waste combustors release a number of pollutants, including cadmium, lead, mercury, dioxin, sulfur dioxide, hydrogen chloride, nitrogen dioxide, and particulate matter. Dioxin and mercury are of particular concern because they are toxic, persist in the environment, and bioaccumulate.
- EPA's rule contains strict MACT-based standards for new incinerators and emissions limits for existing incinerators.
- The rule affects an estimated 164 municipal waste combustion units and will significantly reduce air toxics emissions (dioxins, lead, cadmium, and mercury). The rule will reduce dioxin emissions by 99 percent and mercury emissions by 90 percent, compared with 1990 emissions levels from these sources. Overall emissions of other air pollutants (including sulfur dioxide, particulate matter, nitrogen oxides, and hydrogen chloride) will be reduced by more than 90,000 tons per year.
Hospital/Medical/Infectious Waste Incinerators
Final rule published September 15, 1997
- Hospital, medical, and infectious waste is solid waste produced in the diagnosis, treatment, or immunization of humans or animals; it includes needles, gauzes, boxes, and packaging materials. Fewer than half of all hospitals and a small number of nursing homes, pharmaceutical research laboratories, and veterinary clinics use incinerators to dispose of their waste.
- A number of toxic air pollutants, including dioxins, mercury, lead, and cadmium, are released into the air during the incineration process.
- EPA's rule contains one set of emission requirements for new incinerators and another set for existing incinerators. The rule establishes emissions limits for nine pollutants (including dioxin, lead, cadmium, and mercury). It requires training of incinerator operators and establishes requirements for appropriate siting of new incinerators.
- The rule affects an estimated 2,400 existing incinerators and will reduce air toxics emissions (dioxins, lead, cadmium, and mercury) by more than 25 tons per year. Dioxins will be reduced by over 90 percent from the current levels emitted by these incinerators. The rule will also reduce other air pollutant emissions (particulate matter, carbon monoxide, and hydrogen chloride) by over 7,000 tons per year.

I think many people misunderstand what a muffin is...the Otis Spunkmeyer muffins, for instance, are little more than cake disguised in a breakfast-friendly package. These Oatmeal muffins are more like what muffins started out to be. Simple (albeit somewhat bland) additions to a meal. I find that they are perfect in their simplicity, a wonderful base to a dollup of jam. The original recipe I had called for 1/4 to 1/2 cup of honey or molasses instead of sugar and was a nice 'non-jolting' way to begin the day. They are a good base to add fruit or nuts. I like banana with pecans; chopped apple and cinnamon; dates with extra molasses. Tailor them to your tastebuds, but don't mistake them for a cake-like muffin. These are much more substantial, and you won't be hungry in an hour.
I doubled the recipe and added 2-3 tsp vanilla, 2-3 tsp cinnamon and 2 chopped up apples. I used brown sugar instead of white sugar. I'm not sure my kids will eat them becaue they are so bland. I will not make these again.

I altered most of the ingredients for a healthier alternative, and they always turn out great! I use soy milk instead of regular milk (I use chocolate or vanilla flavoured, then I leave out the sugar in the recipe). I use applesauce instead of vegetable oil. Whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose. And if I use plain soy milk, I use honey instead of the white sugar. Basically this adds soy protein and fiber, while cutting down on calories and fat. A delicious alternative to a store bought granola bar.
I've made this recipe many times now and tried lots of additions - one mashed banana w/ pecans, blueberry and grated lemon peel, grated apple and cinnamon... etc... all have been good. I've also increased the sugar to 1/3c (and sometimes use brown) and substituted buttermilk for the sweet milk - this recipe is incredibly easy and versatile and has become my new base muffin recipe! Thanks, Tony!
I love this recipe. It's very flexible and forgiving. I use applesauce instead of oil, and brown sugar in place of the white. Sometimes I add some snipped fruit (apricots, prunes) or finely chopped apple. I love the texture and they're not too sweet. Great with a cup o' tea in the morning. (they freeze well)
This was a great recipe! I agree with the other reviews - it is kind of simple, it would be great with fruit added. I added cinnamon, nutmeg and chopped nuts. I also replaced the vegetable oil with applesauce, to reduce the fat and calories, and used brown sugar instead of white. They still turned out great. The batter seemed a little runny, but the muffins turned out great. Much lighter than my usual bran muffin recipes.
I liked this recipe. I have made it twice now. The first time I followed the recipe exactly and had very nice muffins, but I agree with some other reviewers that it was a little bland. The second time I altered the recipe beyond recognition, still with good results. I wanted a morning glory style muffin using what I had on hand so here is what I did. For the oats and flour I used 1/2 c corn meal, 1/2 c wheat flour, 1/2 c wheat germ, and 1/2 c all purpose flour. Instead of just milk I used 1/2 c pumpkin , 1/2 c milk, and finally instead of sugar I used pure honey. The result was a golden, yummy healthy muffin, not too sweet but full of flavor. This recipe is wonderful as a starting point.
What a great muffin recipe! Nice because it is low fat....I added apple sauce in place of the oil. If you do this, you may want to spray your muffin cups with a little cooking spray so the papers don't stick to the muffins. I also added some cinnamon and raisins. I also decreased the baking time by 5 minutes, as recommended by another user. The texture and taste are great!
Thanks for offering this recipe:)

First Responders Unprepared For Another Train Disaster
Originally published on Sun July 6, 2014 11:50 am
Ever since that Canadian train derailment, first responders all across North America wonder, what if it happens here? And as NPR's David Schaper reports from this side of the border, many say they don't have the training, the equipment or the manpower necessary to respond to an oil train disaster in their cities and towns.
DAVID SCHAPER, BYLINE: The images of that fiery blast that incinerated much of Lac-Megantic's downtown last summer still haunt many first responders.
GREGG CLEVELAND: It's one of those things that certainly keeps me up at night.
SCHAPER: La Crosse, Wisconsin, fire chief Gregg Cleveland is watching one of the dozens of freight trains that rumble through the heart of the city of about 52,000 people every day. Many of the trains are hauling crude oil, some stretching more than a mile long, tank car after tank car full of volatile Bakken crude.
CLEVELAND: I think anytime that you have the railroad with the amount of hazardous materials in Bakken crude oil, the question is not if, but when.
SCHAPER: La Crosse is a long and narrow city nestled between the Mississippi River to the west and towering sandstone bluffs to the east, which presents unique challenges. An oil train could derail in the river or in a large environmentally sensitive marshland or in bluff-side neighborhoods that would be cut off from the only escape route over the tracks. Gregg Cleveland says, his professional firefighting force has a hazmat response team, but...
CLEVELAND: We really need more people trained in response to railroad incidents. We have virtually no foam, and the equipment that we have cannot apply the large volumes of foam that we would need in a railroad emergency.
SCHAPER: Furthermore, La Crosse has the only hazmat response team in west central Wisconsin. So along hundreds of miles of railroad track, the fire chief says, it could be up to small-town volunteer departments to initially try to contain an oil train spill and fire.
CLEVELAND: They're not going to have the resources to do that. I think that's a pretty safe assumption.
SENATOR HEIDI HEITKAMP: If we are going to do this right, we need to have a nationwide evaluation of the readiness.
SCHAPER: That's Democratic Senator Heidi Heitkamp of North Dakota. Her state is producing most of the oil that is shipped by rail, and the amount has increased more than 6,000 percent over the last five years. She's sponsoring a bill that would identify best practices for first responder training and equipment.
HEITKAMP: And then we need to figure out how do we get the resources to the local firefighters, how we get the training to the local firefighters and how do we institutionalize this because crude oil is not going to go off the trains anytime in the future.
SCHAPER: Heitkamp is also pushing for extra funding for first responder training, which the railroad industry is also stepping up to provide.
HEITKAMP: And it's our goal with the training that those first responders have as realistic an experience as possible.
SCHAPER: Lisa Stabler is president of the Transportation Technology Center in Pueblo, Colorado, which is part of the American Association of Railroads. Under an agreement with the federal Department of Transportation, the center is providing enhanced crude by rail disaster training for firefighters from around the country, free of charge. Stabler says the program will include hands-on training with real derailed tank cars going up in flames.
LISA STABLER: And that allows them to learn and, if necessary, to make mistakes in a very safe environment so that they don't mistake make mistakes when they're out trying to take care of an incident with the public.
SCHAPER: Back in La Crosse, Wisconsin, fire chief Greg Cleveland applauds the increased training efforts. But he wonders why this didn't happen sooner, given that dozens of trains carrying explosive crude already roll through his city every week.
CLEVELAND: Quite honestly, we're playing catch up very quickly here.
SCHAPER: And Cleveland notes that costly training and equipment needs will be with his community, just like the oil trains, for quite some time to come. David Schaper, NPR News. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

any info if the joker exclusive will be a 360 download in a couple mths? any news would be helpfull was thinking on getting the ps3 not for this game but for blueray player more than anything
joker is ps3 only
there was a soul caliber exclusive the darth vader and yoda for each console and later you could download the other on xbox live a couple mths later
Look I understand not liking a game just because you don't like it. I am the same way with Bioshock. I played the demo and wasn't impressed. But that doesn't mean I ran out into the street and blurted out, "This game is crap!", just because I didn't like it. Quite the contrary. If I worked at a video game store and someone asked me for a good FPS, I would include that game in my list of good FPS.
I guess the point is just because you don't like something, at least give a better reason than just "It's garbage."
Oh, I will agree that at least the special edition is over priced for what you get. The batarang isn't even metal.
I think the game is great. Love the cutscenses and levels with the ScareCrow. Love the game, its really hard to put down.
finally got a chance to play the demo cannot waith to play the game
just played the demo ps3, beautiful looking game i am impressed so far.
just beat the game its pretty dang good not gonna lie even the extra stuff like finding riddles is fun and thats usually the taxing part about games

In the early 1990s, there was no greater status symbol than a pager. If you carried a beeper, that meant that, like a trauma surgeon or a Fortune 500 CEO, you were important enough to be reachable at all times. Within a few short years, cellphones replaced pagers because they let you send and receive calls and text messages directly, a huge improvement over running to the nearest phone to return a page.
Despite the huge popularity of mobile phones, there's still an active market for pagers. According to the CEA, in 2012 Americans bought approximately $7 million worth of new pagers, somewhere under 10,000 units. If you want to be reachable, but not too reachable, pagers provide a built-in excuse for avoiding phone conversations.
You might imagine drug dealers, who are paranoid about wire taps, using pagers for illegal activities. However, many doctors and hospitals find pager networks more reliable, particularly in emergencies where cellular systems tend to go down
Just to let you know;
1. the reason fax machines still sell is because you can transmit signed contracts via fax that are legally valid, the same is not true of emailed agreements. Anything you send via email is not legally binding despite how much you might want it to be.
2. the reason cassette tapes still get used is because it is used to safely record medical data because of the potential of interference from other electrical signals from more essential medical equipment in the hospital environment, were you to use a more up to date digital recorder.
3. Vinyl still sells cos it's awesome.
the rest…. go figure
Cheap? You do realize some people are not cheap, they are poor. They cannot afford more than dial up. Rather unprofessional of you to make such an assumption.
@Sim – #1 is untrue. Emailing documents is perfectly legal. What is not valid is signing via email. Remember that a fax is just a scanned image transmitted "digitally". Email is the same thing, but far more efficient.
#2 is another falsehood. Cassette tapes are the least safe media. A very large number of hospitals are well behind the curve in technology. Same goes for medical device manufacturers which use way too much very insecure technology.
#3 well…won't argue with that.
Mr/Ms Pittch – perhaps from your eyrie in techland your addiction to the newest and fastest, you have failed to notice the tendency of "new tech" to attempt to take over your life? You don't own new tech. It owns you. Just for grins and giggles, try to count the number of times per day you take out your cell phone (obsolete terminology?) and just look at it to see if you may have missed a call, or a tweet, or something that you cannot live without. Then look at a cache of your tweets from saaay a week or two ago. Read every tweet you read or sent, guestimate how much time you spent doing that, then honestly ask yourself if ANY of those absolutely necessary communications changed your life or made it different in ANY meaningful way. (And TRY to be honest with yourself. No one is looking over your shoulder… or are they?)
Then you should put the gadgets away and consider what you COULd have done with that time that would be more meaningful to yourself or to those around you or those who REALLy care about you. Are you perhaps beginning to get the idea? If not, then when you are 70 or 80 years old, if you haven't fried your brain with all those electronic emmissions, look back at your life and see what YOU have done with it that will make a bit of meaningful difference to the world and what kind of legacy you'll leave behind you when you die, and will anyone miss you, or even notice that you're gone?
This article is really about the author's ignorance. His attitude is "I don't know about these things so it's time for them to go." There are good reasons why people still use all these things but he's a tech snob.
Once again Laptop has force it's viewers to click many, many times for tiny bits of information. I thought we'd fixed this issue of you falsely inflating page clicks for your advertisers.
Obsolete does not equal not useful
Well these items might become obsolete but laptopmag will surely be obsolete sooner than that because of its "next-next-next" type of articles where user has keep clicking for the reading a little piece of the article and because of such writers who says that people are "too cheap" because they don't pay for high speed internet access .
CRT's are still popular because:
– Next to no input lag
– Gamuts are still compared to CRT's, only high end LCD's (and plasma's) can match a last generation CRT's gamut (ask tftcentral.co.uk)
– Fast response time (hail the electron beam)
– Warm (plasma like) colours
– Standard definition signals still look much better on a CRT (although a plasma comes close)
– Better viewing angles than LCD's
It took a scratch on the coating of my 24 Inch (2304×1440 max res, gaming/video was awesome) Sony GDM-FW900 FD Trinitron tube, before I replaced it with IPS-Alpha/AH-IPS panels.
@JP in your passion to disagree, you fail to even comprehend what @Sim was saying:
(i. e. @Sim did not say you could not send legal documents via email). He said you couldn't send legally signed ones. And he is perfectly correct in saying that.
You also completely missed his second point. He was not talking about security. He was talking about the possibility of random data corruption.
You seemed to get it.
In regards to the idea that landlines are completely obsolete is somewhat off base.
-There are still parts of the US that have horrid cellphone reception or no cell reception at all.
-When the power goes out telephone lines still work…but your cellphone is going to go dead because you can't charge it.
-If an emergency arises at home, I always know where my landline phone is, and don't need to worry if I left my cellphone in the bathroom, bedroom, in the kitchen, or if it fell into the couch when I fell asleep reading a book (not on a kindle).
Dear Author — pagers are used primarily by doctors and nurses as required by hospitals. Privacy issues and HIPPA regs make it difficult for hospitals to easily update technology. It's inefficient but is a cheap way or hospitals to avoid the security tech they will have invest ito use phones. Its a big issue and much has been written on it that could be found with a quick web search.
A lot of people still use film because it produces a different look — seldom as sharp as digital, but richer in tones, and somehow, more real looking. And there are superb films available to anyone who wants to try using them. For anyone interested, I'd recommend picking up a Pentax K-1000 (which you can get very cheap) and give it a try.
One must weigh degree of obsolescence against cost of upgrade. Many people simply cannot afford to buy the latest, greatest techie gizmos … especially if they come with a service contract.
I agree with labman57. Film offers something that digital does not. While it might be possible to copy tones and feeling exactly on the print, digital cannot give you the link to the past that an instant picture or a slide can-those items were there at that time and are unique. Some see them as more special and more honest than the cold and sterile digital pixels.
I would like to see the reference for these numbers, by the way.
Oh, and KM-I love my landline! It's dependable!
I can't agree that landlines are obsolete. It is a relatively inexpensive communication method and it works. The same cannot be said about cell phones. The handset manufacturers are more interested in selling me a mobile entertainment system with the latest wiz-bang features than a better phone. (Yes, these things can actually be used to make phone calls) And the carriers have nowhere near the coverage they need. I barely get a connection at home and my drive to work has several spots where service is lost. At least I have the privilege of paying a ridiculous amount of money for this spotty service. No, cell phones are still just an expensive convenience item.
And for vinyl, the LP is still the best…
> A lot of people still use film because it produces a different look — seldom as sharp as digital
I disagree somewhat:
1) The resolution of digital cameras still does not equal that of a fine grain film. They are getting better, but have a long way to go.
2) Pixels are approximations as they are rectangular. This often makes the reproduced lines jagged. When the resolution improves, this will become less of an issue. With film, the rounded grains make this less obvious.
3) The number of colors that can be produced digitally is limited by the amount of storage required. For film, the number of colors is essentially infinite.
4) With film, you can have superimposed colors – with digital you have to compromise with them being side-by-side – so the eye does the blending, not the reproduction media.
On the other hand, there are a number of digital advantages:
1) Modern digital sensors are far more sensitive than film. This allows taking acceptable available light pictures in dimmer light than is possible with film.
2) Digital imaging is far less expensive than using film.
3) You can immediately look at what you have obtained – rather than waiting until after the film is processed.
4) If you shoot in RAW, there are all sorts of image processing techniques that are difficult or impossible with film.
> And the carriers have nowhere near the coverage they need. I barely get a connection at home and my drive to work has several spots where service is lost.
You shouldn't be using your phone while you are driving. You are a hazard to everyone else on the road. That is true for even hands free units.
As someone else stated, much/most cell phone usage is unnecessary – just inane blather or time wasting game playing. Several times I have seen two people walking down the sidewalk (side by side), texting each other instead of simply talking directly.
While dot matrix may be more expensive to purchase they are far cheaper to use. A new ribbon for a dot matrix may be $6.00 but will last weeks under heavy use. An ink cartridge is $18.00 but last days!
I still use a land line because it's reliable during a power outage, and because it is so much more convenient for a family of five. For any family related affairs, you just give out your home phone, and whoever is available at home will pick up a phone call and take care of it.
VHS tapes are more reliable than DVD because a VHS tape degrades gradually while DVD's are either on or off (analog vs digital).
And as for old computers, the productivity gain from simply just having a computer is enough for most people. Most people don't care if their computer is running windows XP or windows 7. The only thing they care about is if the computer will meet their needs. If this translates to word processing, web browsing, and media playback, then most any computer will do. And some people actually need those older computers to run legacy programs. It is true that they could replace it with a modern computer with a virtual machine, but there's no reason to do so if you've got a perfectly good, functioning computer.
Gimmick article. Many of these items have not been 100% replace properly.
-For instance, film is more expensive except when a picture is needed as legal proof. Authenticating digital pictures is very expensive many times more than film.
-For operating systems. Even in business we have Windows 98 machines because some of the software does not run on newer OS and no proper substitute was created.
And landline YOU must be kidding me. VoIP is a BOOMING business and that means land lines have been improving. And it most be nice to work in a nice metropolitan building where you mobile reception everywhere. But many people work in remote, underground (or just very inside a building) where no mobile reception is possible. Last year I went to a conference in downtown LA and the ballroom had 0 reception. And between my group with had all carriers ATT, Sprint, Verizon , TMobile, MetroPCS, Cricket, Boost, Virgin, one even carry a satellite capable phone. None had signal. Fortunately, there was a courtesy room with landlines. Or we had to go up 3 or 4 floors to get signal and some of us needed to go outside.
Same goes with the FAX and or modem based communication. Sometimes the landline is it. So to send a document that is the only way to do it. And so many businesses has them including a very gimmicky one called Tech Media Network 801.452.####. A fax number is that for possibly people with fax machines? Also is the Tech Media main number a mobile phone or is it a LAND LINE?
bill, bill, bill…. "You shouldn't be using your phone while you are driving. You are a hazard to everyone else on the road. That is true for even hands free units. ". You missed the point. Land lines are R-E-L-I-A-B-L-E, cell (aka radio) phones ARE NOT for the very reasons stated – coverage and power loses. As far as " a hazard to everyone else on the road" sheesh, MOST people behind the wheel of a vehicle are a hazard never mind using a cell phone. OBTW how you can spend $40,000 or more on a vehicle and NOT afford a hands free device to make your "operation" of a vehicle "safer" is beyond me.
The final one about "digital" being easier is amusing….A. easy does not equal better…I give you the "automatic" transmission….no less than 5% less efficient than a manual and costing the world millions of gallons of wasted fuel and added heat to the atmosphere. Easy? Sure. Better? I think not…. Now off to listen to my vinyl….;-)
Fax and CRT's aside (which I do not find to be THAT dated), my only comment is with landlines. I have a corporate BB and a personal iPhone but will never 100% rely on VoIP or cell service because they can be spotty and blink off-line.
Another problem is my building, like many other New Yorker's I know, certain parts of their apt cannot get cell service – too close to the core of the building or just too much interference.
Aside the better quality of my landline and never having VoIP 'phase out' due to a taxed internet connection (like giving a presentation or watching video) – it never fails, never. Even in blackouts, no problem, connection. During 9/11 – again, cell towers were slammed with load of panic and worried family members, not my land line – worked perfectly fine.
When the 'end user' (aka those users/customers who are serviced by providers) of the internet has the same reliability of a landline, I may consider switching to VoIP, until then, landlines are still the best form of voice communication in a big city.
CRT TVs still sell to old school gamers. Ever tried to play old NES or PS2 games on a nice big LED screen? They look SO much better on an old CRT.
The landline phones are a necessity for fireman and policeman. In the event of a hurricane, the cell towers are only limited to a certain amount of wind, thus your phone lines can actually be on the ground and still work. Normally, when a storm is coming the cell companies can't keep up with the cell phone calls, but land lines are still the backup.
Phone landlines are used bu home security system
Who says it has to be "obsolete"? Sometimes I scan and email, but oftentimes it is easier to just stick it in the fax machine. Several fewer steps!
If it is easier that way for me, it is not "obsolete". Which I do depends on the task at hand.
I get really annoyed the Tech Gods declaring what is no longer relevant.
Another example, I take a mouse with my laptop. It is MUCH handier than using my fingers!
I strongly disagree with your view that landlines are becoming obsolete. Landlines offer more security than the average cell phone connection and are far less prone to weather phenomena as cell phone signals and towers are. That is, of course, assuming you don't live in a very isolated part of the US where the phone system hasn't been upgraded since the '60s-'70s…
Another advantage to landline is the unity in phone numbers. If you want to call Aunt Meg or anyone in her household, chances are if she still has landline service, she's still using the same number she's used for decades. No need to worry about reaching a disconnected cell phone number, or calling cousin Sally on a phone number she changed three break-ups ago. When we made the decision to ditch our landline service last year, it wasn't a decision to be made lightly. We wanted to keep the same old number we had for over 20 years and be able to be reached conveniently. However, the telco had jacked up the monthy cost from $55 or so a month 10 years ago (including area calling) to $100 and rising. And since we have our own cell phones and numbers, there was no need to transfer that number to another phone and incur an additional monthly expense. Unfortunately it had to go.
As for Win98/2k, I'm not sure about now, but a few years ago I know some software engineers – as well as regular engineers – were still using them since, in their view, it offered a more stable and less buggy platform to run certain software on than XP. Not sure if that argument could be made now though. And as others have pointed out here, they were and still are necessary to run older software.
I wouldn't say these things are obsolete since they serve their purpose. Faxes are often faster, especially if the document needs printed anyway, and are required in certain circumstances. Digital has it's advantages, though it can hardly be argued that is necessarily better than film, which has it's own advantages and leaves you with a physical negative from that event. Many audiophiles prefer records for that crackling sound on cheaper players, while others will argue that high end turntables are actually more clear than dl's/cd's ——http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fDR8q0i0fv8 —-. Landlines are cheaper and more reliable (wish I had one). Plus….nostalgia goes a long way for many people. I should mention that I'm 28 and am really into new tech, but if I could go back 10-15 years when people were not glued to their cell phone/computer, I would do it in a heartbeat. I truly believe we are
wasting so much time with it that could be used doing more meaningful things, like speaking to each other at dinner.
I would think Fax over eMail is more secure. While a 5 year old kid is smart enough to "hack"/login onto an email account & send irate stuff, Faxing is a bit more business like as you'll need 2 text book phone numbers & the device it's self. A person with the legal paper in hand, placing & dailing it out AND its very traceable if needed.
It might be outdated, but it is not obsolete.
Law enforcement cannot use digital cameras.
How could Windows 98 NOT be better than Windows 8? It's 90 releases later for cripe sakes!
I still prefer a CRT TV. The specs of my 1990 27″ Sony may not be impressive on paper, but the picture looks fantastic. It can keep up with most of the similarly sized flatscreens and has a wider color gamut than any of them. Also the specs like contrast ratio are so inflated that they're meaningless. A good CRT properly set up can produce a higher contrast picture in real world conditions, despite the LCD's bogus 10,000:1 (in a dark room) spec. I have a newer LCD upstairs due to the smaller space it takes, but if size was no object I'd choose a CRT any day.
Some people are obsessed with the latest and greatest for the sake of having the newest of new, but I figure if it ain't broke, don't "fix" it. Not everything old is bad and not everything new is better.
This guy is completely clueless. Pagers DO have a purpose (such as hospitals), as do fax machines, and everything else this dolt author mentions. Oh, and while vinyl albums do have wow and flutter, the sound of vinyl over digital is so much better, fuller, and richer. There is a LOT less loss and compression, and digital doesn't even come close to comparing vinyl
Oh, and not everyone has access to broadband connections, hence their use of 56K modems. And NOTHING is more reliable than POTS landlines over copper. NOTHING!
Avram, you may have a degree in English, but you certainly are no geek. In fact, you sound more like a newbie.
Me? I've been in the IT industry for nearly 30 years, and give guys like you… those who hold master's degrees, or higher.
Fifteen to twenty percent of all Americans live in areas with poor cell phone and broadband service. We don't have a choice, we have to use what works so we use fax machines, pay phones, landline phones, dial up internet and the "old" operating systems that work well with a slow connection. Major telecom companies are not interested in serving us (particularly in rural areas) and we pay a lot more for service than internet royalty in urban areas. How about an informed article on the changes that are needed for us to get the service we need and deserve?
As the old saying goes "If it ain't broke, don't fix it". I get really fed up with clueless people who assume just because something is new, that it must be better.
Windows 98′ was a good, reliable, stable system; I didn't have any security software when I used it, never needed any. Since changing to XP and Win 7 I have spent untold amount of time wiping my OS from my computer/reloading the OS and my software; much money on security suites; (and yes I read all the info from pcworld and several other websites/magazines to learn about and buy the best security ware). To no avail, usually once a year, my computer is attacked beyond the security suites capability to block, remove or quarantine the invader because of all of the security holes of the OS editions after '98.
As said by others LP's sound 100 times better. Not to mention there is a feeling that you get with LP's that you don't get with CD's; playing CD's are a cold impersonal experience.
REAL cameras provide one with higher quality pictures. Somebody please explain to me what is rational about keeping all of your pictures on computer???? Between possible drive failure, computer attacks, a missing or stolen laptop, privacy issues (Anyone with the knowledge could hack into your computer system steal your photos, delete them or worse yet photoshop one of your pictures and use it for criminal means such as ID theft). What happened to family or friends getting together sharing memories while filling photo albums together??
My family only buys CRT Tv's, flat screens are tacky, I don't want my tv on my wall. I have a DVD player, but use my VCR much more. Wouldn't part with it and about to buy 2 more.
New is better??? Perfect example of how this is a NOT, everybody needs to know that the CFL light bulbs can be deadly. They contain lithium and mercury, it is advised that if you break one you should call haz-mat to clean up the mess. A lady reported that she did just that, her house was cordened off and it cost her between hundreds-thousands of dollars to have the mess cleaned up (it has been a while since I heard the story so I forgot which). The Republican Congress requested that in 2007 Bush not pass the law and in 2010 for Obama to repeal the law to slowly do away with incandescent light bulbs (companies in the US had to stop manufacturing bulbs above 60watts a year or so ago and will continue doing away with them, the 40-60 watt bulbs go away next year). Studies have shown that the CFL's cause many health problems. (Ellen Silbergeld professor of enviromental health sciences at John Hopkins university conducted and reported one such study)
We now live in a society that has no attention span, vain, materialistic and never satisfied or grateful for anything. How can one be grateful for anything if you BELIEVE that you need to run out and buy every gadgit and gizmo that comes out? Throwing away expensive things that you just bought last year because you just GOTTA have the lastest model that comes out tomorrow.
One last thing, because of the publics materialistic attitude at large, everybody gets screwed. Gone are the days when companies provided choices, strived to make products that were made of lasting materials,and well constructed. The public long ago (around the 80's) started the trend of accepting what ever crap companies threw out in the market place instead of demanding the continuation of products made with high standards. So what do we have now? No choice, everything looks the same, the use of crappy material that easily fall apart even on high dollar items, and poor construction.
shut up we need all this stuff just f u
Our security system requires a land- line. Upgrading would be several hundred dollars for equipment plus a significant increase in our monthly monitoring fees.
Dial up, CRT, Film rolls, Dotmatrix printers, were all latest technology of their times..
HP3000 is still used because equipment was specially made for the connector. I used a modem to give me access to my desktop computer at work, as I suspected my employer would try to "see" my private correspondence. I have a landline, so when the cell towers are out, i can use the phone. I have a world globe as it gives me a better feeling than a flat screen map. I don't use facebook or Geni since I would loose all meaning of having "verification questions" on most web sites. I use FTP and FINGER extensively. I know of XT's in use as quality assurance terminals.
In much of Europe and Africa countries are attempting to go cashless and use smartphones or credit/debit cards and prevent gray/black transactions. I disagree as we saw the foodstamp program in the US and various power and communications outages would prevent people from purchasing supplies when they most need them.
A second reason is that with the new wireless credit cards, a card can be stolen (copied) without access to the card, with cash, I can loose some cash, but at least I know it was stolen.
Commenters, & even the author himself, list thesis-defeating reasons to use many of these products (and omit many more). By definition, a technology is not obsolete if there's still a need for it – this article might better be titled "Interesting Reasons why 12 Obsolescent Technologies are Still Useful".
Interesting. Today I asked myself why the hell laptops still have a modem. Obviously, there had to be a reason, so I did some search and find about fax over internet, which I have needed more than once but never knew how to make it work!
About internet and computer "experts", every time I search the web for technology issues I find mostly crap like this. I know "experts" have to get something to write about, but why they keep copy-pasting text to meet the deadline is beyond me. I learned about computers in technical books and scientific papers, not in newspapers and computer magazines because I had always feel disgusted with such lack of knowledge and erroneous advice.
This guy, as most "experts" in the web, newspapers and magazines, learn most of their advice at the coffee table. That's the fact. And that's why bad technical advice propagates so quickly over the internet. Because there are too many of this "experts" who would hardly understand a scientific paper on RAID, magnetic disks, holographic storage or whatever. So much for "expertise".
You know who still uses pay phones in 2013?
People who locked themselves out and locked their cellphone in.
And finding one was damn hard.
Sim Says is totally wrong about the legality of emailed contracts. They are perfectly, entirely legal.
I am an attorney, and have been for 11 years now. I have emailed contracts to other countries – they are valid.
Right now I am working from home for a law firm in another part of the city. I am part of a group of law firms working on a complex anti-trust case with firms located around the nation. The head firm is in California. I am working on this through an agency in New York.
Every week I send my work report, signed, by email to the law firm, which then approves of it and signs it, and then sends it to New York. The agent in New York then sends a payment authorization to my bank, and money appears. This was authorized by a contract sent by me to the agent in New York.
So for me to get paid, 4 rounds of emailed contracts need to be done.
More importantly, all of those privacy policies and terms of use that websites have and make you click on, those are all contracts. You don't even sign them. You don't even send an individual email. Just clicking the box = contract formed.
I don't know who Sim Says is, or what rock he's been hiding under, but emailed contracts have been legal since the 1990s.
Fax machines still sell probably because there are organizations where they know that certain messages are going to have to be printed out anyway, so sending them directly to a fax machine skips the step of having a person have to give the command to print them.
Also, certain contracts cannot be sent by email. Prescriptions for restricted pharmaceuticals cannot be sent by email or phone, depending on the state. They must be faxed or brought directly to the pharmacy.
Which is the type of business that still buys fax machines, because even if the prescription can be sent by email or phone, it is often easier to just get a fax because then any one of the staff working can pick it up from the stack of faxes and fill it, and there's no concern about whether all the prescriptions emailed were printed, or all the phone calls were written down.
Oh, another one.
JP is also wrong. You can sign a document that was emailed to you in a field that allows information entry and then email it back (or have it stored in a mutually accessible place).
All you have to do is have an indication that you intend the entry of your name to have the effect of a signature. So something like a field with the word "Signed" or "Signature" immediately in front of, following, above, or below the field counts as a signature for the contract.
The same is true when you go to the supermarket and sign your name on the screen to approve the purchase when you have gone over your credit card's no-sign limit ($25-$50 usually).
Basically if you make it clear that writing your name somewhere is intended to have the effect of signing a contract, then it does have that effect.
Again, I am an attorney, and have done plenty of work specifically on IT law, including research specifically on the validity of signed emailed contracts – in 2002 when there was still a bit of question regarding whether every state allowed it.
Many European nations do not allow this, however, or have strict value limits on what can be contracted electronically. Then again, many European nations require that a notary be present when certain contracts are signed to verify that the person signing them is really the person who is authorized to do it. It adds a few hundred euros to the cost of your contract, and results in notary being a viable career rather than something that the librarian does for free or $5 at the shipping company store.
Yeah, this is an older article but it still comes across as, "Me no use this anymore, so it old and stupid". Not everybody cares about, or can afford to, run to the Apple store the second the latest untested piece of crap comes out. The only thing I still use on that list is a landline because we get horrible reception here, but calling something obsolete just because you in particular don't use it anymore is just typical tech snobbery. And talk about being cheap- making people click 12 pages so you can scrape up more revenue to buy the latest iPhone…
well sir, i still use windows 2000, avoids the tedious activation process, must use 56k modem because local exchange has no adsl available, wireless usb broadband to expensive, still have a landline phone as i find the mobile phone plans expensive, no i dont live in ethiopia i live in australia.believe it or not.
Lighten up guys.the guys got a right to his opinion. I happen to agree with him.these old old technologies are better left behind.
Im not sure why pdas pagers and old versions of windows haven't died out, I know a lot of people asking me to repair their computer and I ask how old is it and they say oh 7 years, im like dude just replace it, it will cost enough to fix it labor and parts than a new base model.
were still trying to get people off fax, we use digital signatures on pdf documents
I still own a crt console from the very early 80s, it still works like new, ive spent a total of probably 10 bucks to keep it going replacing a few capacitors, 40 years not bad at all, I don't use it as my living room tv but it gets used in my office and isn't going anywhere until the crt goes out.
Vinyl is just cool as hell as someone else mentioned, I don't even use new players, ive got a vacuum tube driven rca console and a slightly newer Magnavox console that's the size of a dresser, that's a conversation piece especially when you can play modern music at a good quality sound, nobody makes 8 tracks anymore but I have a few that I still play but they sound worse than cassettes
I still have many vcrs and cassette decks, I don't record on them anymore but watch a lot of content I have recorded, the only thing I have taken the time to digitize was home movies, and I have a bin full of store bought and mix tapes I love lol.
im an early adopter, but I refuse to banish my old technology to the dump if its well built and has lasted forever. new vcrs wont live long if played to much, but a solid metal one from 1980 will last forever if properly taken care of and a few belts replaced here and there.
this old music stuff is funky cool, big wooden tvs and stereos, they didn't make anything better looking since the good hard wood ones went by the wayside, now most houses aren't even set up for furniture entertainment centers, but they were so clutter free, imagine a 40 inch tv inside a wooden case with high quality speakers on either side with intricate designs and fabric covering behind them, open the lid, bluray, dvd, and cd player all in one, an aux jack and Bluetooth capable, built in amplifier, storage compartments that can be removed and game consoles, cassette players, whatever tech you wanted, and a turntable on the left being built so they could be mounted in a bracket to drop in and plug right into hdmi, built in roku device, extra hdmi ports, more than a dinky two that a lot of tvs come with, coax for hd air tv. built of real wood sitting in the corner of an older style living room that wasn't meant for fireplace tvs. the thing would operate seamlessly with one remote. one plug, no ugly tvs on the wall with wires hanging out, no crappy tv stands with glass trays, hell id buy it, I miss the home tech as furniture age. hell I miss good furniture, I cant fine a decent computer desk without spending 5 grand on something huge that I don't need
Also the less complicated a device, the easier it is to write well coded firmware, these new devices, 90 percent of them come out with bugs, then the firmware updates fixes one thing makes another worse, the code is complex enough one person cant grasp it and write it alone and make sure its 100% flawless. iphones and android devices, os bugs, apps that don't work well, spammy apps, I recently removed everything but stock apps on my S5 besides two apps by reputable manufacturers I needed. sometimes these devices are designed with hardware flaws that cant be fixed by firmware updates, and do they recall them, nope, your stuck with something that has features that it claimed to have but 1 or 2 don't work period. cheap plastic, weve gotten to where we buy too much crap, even though I love technology, it would be nice if say Samsung came out with the galaxy s5, built it to last 10 years and kept the applications within its ability to perform, so I don't have to upgrade, crt tvs looked great, now making one big enough for a large open are living room wouldn't be easy so ok we are on 1080p flat panel screens with LED lighting, good idea when they work right, they don't need complex apps, just hdmi ports, problem is your old content looks like crap on them, but now we are working on 4k??? come on give me a break, I can hardly distinguish pixels on my 55inch 1080 across the living room to the tv, 4k isn't going to make a difference, and for the record, 3d is awful and makes your head hurt. so we have blu ray, hd gaming consoles and 1080p tvs, lets let this last a good twenty years, and for petes sake put the nichicon capacitors and other hq parts in them so they can last that long. its not that much more expensive to build them right. xbox 360 is a good system, we don't have to upgrade to the next one that doesn't offer anything really better. just give us an upgraded 2tb drive to store new games, the quality is great on the 360, I only bought the wiiu because its predecessor looked horrible on the newer tvs.
Ive always bought accords, they build really good vehicles, ive had an 09, an 11, a 12 tsx wagon rip:( and now a 14, all have been great but the 14 has introduced this touch radio controlled system, and guess what, bugs, now it can only see a certain number of files on my flash media, the integration with the phone for Pandora and other streaming radio is buggy, touch screens are hazardous in this application, were making things worse and better at the same time
When you're a professional photographer (and I am one) You damn well know that there's lots of good reasons to chose film over digital. Reasons that range from an artist's vision to a journalist documenting an important event on super 8 & 16mm because of the difficulty of some being able to tamper with the "facts" captured on these mediums

"These are the only scented candles that don't give me a headache, and they last for a really long time. The fragrances are lovely (my favorite is the bayberry) and they are a good value." - Jan, Littleton, CO
"My sister sent a bayberry candle from VCS last Christmas after searching and searching for a true bayberry candle. Mom always burned one during the holiday season as legend has it that it will bring you good luck. Mom has not been able to find a bayberry candle for years until now. The candle smelled wonderful, even when it was not burning. It brought back happy memories of my childhood when Mom always burned the candles. The candle burned beautifully and evenly. It was true to the green of the candles from years ago. Worth every penny!"- Pam, Davis, IL

Officials are hopeful that a plan passed by the County Council will help revitalize the Glenmont area into a community where residents and shoppers can walk to public areas and take advantage of nearby mass transit.
The council approved the Glenmont Sector Plan on Tuesday, which addresses an roughly 700-acre area based around the intersection of Georgia Avenue and Randolph Road.
"I feel like now we can say that Glenmont is poised to present opportunities," Council President Nancy Navarro (D-Dist.4) of Silver Spring said Tuesday.
The plan envisions a neighborhood centered on the Glenmont Shopping Center at the corner of Georgia and Randolph, as well as the Metro station that sits at the eastern end of Metro's Red Line.
Glenmont hasn't seen the types of enhancements that could take advantage of the Metro station there, Navarro said.
"The Glenmont of the future will be a walkable, diverse, and sustainable community with services and amenities primarily for the local residents and workers," according to the plan's introduction.
Much of the plan hinges on redevelopment of the shopping center, was well as the integration of some commercial properties into the Privacy World at Glenmont Metrocentre garden apartment community.
Along with adding some retail spaces, the community will likely add some owner-occupied units but will remain mostly rental properties, Property Manager Gregory Eisenstadt said Tuesday.
He said he hopes the redevelopment of Privacy World will lead to similar results in the shopping center.
Mike Fisher, who owns properties in the shopping center including ones that house a Pizza Hut and a Motor Vehicle Administration Express office, said the approval was "great news" that would give owners in the shopping center more flexibility to redevelop their properties in ways that will allow for a mix of residential and retail uses.
"It's just a parking lot right now," Fisher said.
When the sector plan was being developed, the main priority was to redevelop the shopping center, he said.
"It is the heart of Glenmont, and as goes the shopping center, so goes Glenmont," Fisher said.
State Sen. Roger Manno said the redevelopment will help create a roughly 260-acre area of walkable development based around transit "where there's essentially suburban blight right now."
Manno (D-Dist. 19) of Silver Spring said he wants to make sure that the redevelopment of Privacy World doesn't lead to the loss of any affordable housing.
The county and state were able to work together to create an enterprise zone around the area that provides tax credits for economic development in distressed areas, Manno said.
Residents of Glenmont and surrounding areas want a location where they can meet and that has restaurants and shops, similar to areas in Rockville or Bethesda, Manno said.
"Right now, what you have is an enormous concrete slab," Manno said.
Along with the enterprise zone, a $58 million project to make two eastbound and two westbound lanes of Randolph Road travel beneath Georgia Avenue is also planned.
That work, which is expected to help ease traffic concerns at the heavily congested intersection, is projected to start in 2014.
There's also a new environmentally friendly parking garage in Glenmont, Manno said.
But despite the various projects, he said, the crucial factor in Glenmont's revitalization will be whether landowners and the private sector can come together and create a successful situation that will bring small businesses.
"All we can do is make it attractive for them," Manno said.

CNN to launch new morning show
CNN plans to launch a new morning show to replace the poorly rated "Starting Point with Soledad O'Brien," sources at the network tell POLITICO.
The new show will be co-hosted by Chris Cuomo, who has just joined the network from ABC News, and likely by Erin Burnett, who currently hosts a primetime program on CNN. O'Brien's own future at the network remains unclear.

I have removed these poems for a distant future book publication.
I believe we poets, can make a difference
in this world. We live in the 21st century,
we have tools( technology), we have our past, and imagination.
We just don't have the courage, because
I guess most are afraid to fail, to loose money.
All I have to say is we can't take money with us,
when we die. I also say hasn't mankind failed enough,
and isn't mankind worth the effort, our children is worth the effort..
Thank you, and my your God Bless you

ETSU Athletics dedicates softball field to Betty Basler
Wednesday, October 27, 2010
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Oct. 26, 2010) - The East Tennessee State University Department of Intercollegiate Athletics held a special ceremony Tuesday evening at the Buccaneer Softball Stadium to announce the naming rights of Betty Basler Field.
On a picituresque fall evening, ETSU staff, Buccaneer Athletic Scholarship Association (BASA) members, community leaders, and the softball team joined to honor the Basler family with the naming of the softball field. ETSU Director of Intercollegiate Athletic Dave Mullins provided Wayne Basler with a special gift to show his token of appreciation for the valuable contribution to the Softball Stadium.
"Today is a very special day for the ETSU softball program and the Basler family, because it is only appropriate we name this field after Betty Basler," said Mullins. "Wayne has meant so much to our capital campaign project since day one, and we are honored to dedicate this beautiful field to his wife Betty. Without his support, we would not be where we are today with the building our new athletic facilities."
In addition to Mullins, ETSU President Dr. Paul E. Stanton Jr., Chief Operating Officer Dr. Wilsie Bishop, Head ETSU Softball Coach Brad Irwin, and senior captain Katie Henderson each expressed their appreciation to the Basler family during the ceremony.
"On behalf of the team, we are very privileged and honored to play softball in such an exceptional stadium," Henderson said. "We want to thank Mr. Basler and his family for this valuable contribution."
The ETSU Softball Stadium at Betty Basler Field is the third venue to be completed in the ETSU capital campaign for athletic facilities. It joins the Warren-Greene Golf Center and Summers-Taylor Stadium. Meanwhile, the fourth facility in the campaign - the new baseball stadium - located at the intersection of University Parkway and State of Franklin Road is in the initial stages of being built.
For more information on Buccaneer athletics and the capital campaign, visit www.ETSUBucs.com.
More on the Basler Family:
Wayne Basler's name is one of the most familiar on the campus of East Tennessee State University. A Kingsport entrepreneur and longtime generous contributor to East Tennessee State University, Mr. Basler was the first person to make a gift to the Department of Athletics "Pathway to Excellence" facilities campaign as part of the ETSU Reaching Higher Capital Campaign. Mr. Basler has long advocated the value of athletics as a vital part of the educational process of young people, having been a collegiate track and field athlete at Iowa State University.
Wayne and Betty Lawrence Basler, believed very strongly in providing athletic opportunities for young women because of her interest and participation in sports during an era when females did not have the chance to participate as they have today. In Wayne's words, "Betty was the most talented athlete I have ever known back in the day when it was almost impossible for females to participate in athletics. She played everything the YWCA had to offer�but she did have an opportunity to play fast pitch softball much like it is today."
Betty was born October 9, 1930, on a farm in Eastern Iowa and grew up in Cedar Rapids. She was the leadoff batter and catcher for the Quaker Oat Company's women's softball team that was the winner of the Iowa State Championship three years in a row. Wayne proudly states, "Nobody could steal second base on her but she stole a lot of bases and scored a lot of runs. It is too bad she did not have the opportunity open to women today."
As a child of two teachers, Wayne learned early the value of education and has continually enriched the educational experience of ETSU students. On campus you'll find the Wayne G. Basler Chair of Excellence for the Integration of the Arts, Rhetoric, and Science, the AFG Industries Chair of Excellence in the College of Business and Technology, the Basler Challenge Course and the Center for Physical Activity, in addition, to an incentive scholarship program for technology students.
The former director and president of AFG Industries, Inc., Wayne is a true philanthropist, loyal to ETSU, and generous with his time and resources.

Reviews for Healthy Zucchini Pancakes
Sort By :
"I made the pancakes for breakfast. Will add more egg next time. I think they would be better as a side dish for a larger meal."
"why do anything other then homemade bread crumbs from your end pieces ect if you already have the food processor to shred the zucchini? my food processor btw is over 35 years old and still does a fine job! oh, and dill does have it's place and that's with cucumbers to be pickled and fish, poasted..."
"These were really good and full of flavor...next time, might use just a little less dill (I used 1 teaspoon dried), but still good just as they are."
"I have made this recipe twice and we loved it. I make it without the cheese to save calories and fat and it is delicious."
"This were tasty and a nice, healthy alternative to the fried potato latkes that I love!"

A Hughesville woman who was serving weekends in St. Mary's jail last summer on a traffic charge has been sentenced to serve 18 months in the facility on her guilty plea last week to possessing pills with the intent to deliver them to another inmate.
Amber Elizabeth Clark, now 26, was charged in the investigation last June by St. Mary's narcotics detectives, a probe that State's Attorney Richard Fritz (R) said at Clark's plea hearing was assisted by monitoring phone calls at the facility.
"She decided that she would surreptitiously bring some pills in ... for the other inmates," Fritz said. Initial charging papers stated that police suspected the pills seized from Clark were doses of oxycodone and alprazolam, but the prosecutor said in court that the true content of the pills was irrelevant to the contraband offense.
Clark pleaded guilty last year to driving with a suspended license in Mechanicsville, and she was sentenced in June to serve 10 days in jail.
Sean Moran, Clark's public defender, said during last week's court hearing that his client was serving the weekends for the traffic offense when two other inmates, Anita K. Emery and Nicole A. Kelly, convinced her to commit the drug offense.
"Nobody forced her to do that," Moran said, "but it led her to make a bad decision. They promised to have somebody pay her [weekend-jail] fees for her if she would do this favor for them."
Clark, the mother of two young children, said in court that in addition to putting herself in jeopardy, "I put my children at risk."
St. Mary's Circuit Judge Michael J. Stamm told Clark that her conduct also put the jail's correctional officers and other inmates at risk.
"You allowed other people to influence you into smuggling into the jail," Stamm said. "I do believe you were taken advantage of."
The judge sentenced Clark to three years in prison, suspended to the 18-month sentence with credit for 55 days served in pretrial custody and three years of supervised probation.
Emery, 25, of California was sentenced last January to serve 30 days in jail, with work-release privileges and credit for nine days served in pretrial custody, on her guilty plea to conspiring to possess oxycodone from the police investigation last June. Initial district court charging papers alleged that Emery, in custody at that time for a theft offense, was the intended recipient of the pills, and that another inmate already had made a payment to receive some of the pills from Emery.
A judge ordered earlier this month that Emery remain in jail in lieu of $3,500 bond on charging papers alleging she illegally possessed the drug zolpidem tartrate, a prescription sleeping medication, while incarcerated at the facility. She is scheduled to face trial next month in that case.
Kelly, 27, of Prince Frederick, who was serving 60 days in jail last June from a guilty plea to obtaining drugs by fraud, faces trial this summer on a charge of conspiracy to possess contraband in a place of confinement, filed from last year's investigation.

There is no bookmark function in Trout.

From Intelligent Design to BioLogos
In this paper, Venema tells the story of his transition from support of Intelligent Design to the view that God uses evolution as a creative mechanism.
The Resource Finder has powerful filtering features — check out the tutorial to learn more.
In this paper, Venema tells the story of his transition from support of Intelligent Design to the view that God uses evolution as a creative mechanism.
In this paper, adapted from an article from Science & Christian Belief, Dr. Oliver R. Barclay compares and contrasts the biblical view of design in nature with modern design arguments.
In this paper, Venema explores several examples in biology where random mutation and natural selection have indeed led to substantial increases in biological information. The question of how new specified information arises in DNA, far from being an "enigma", is one of great interest to biologists.
Philosopher Robert Bishop explores the Biblical doctrine of creation, which he describes as "perhaps one of the most helpful pieces of theology for thinking about science", and describes why the doctrine needs to be recovered from narrower, contemporary interpretations of creation.
Mathematics professor James Bradley looks at the design argument presented in William Dembski's book The Design Inference and offers his criticisms on the accuracy of the model.
In this article, Venema offers his review of Stephen Meyer's book Signature in the Cell.
Biologist and BioLogos Senior Fellow Denis Venema examines the interaction between RTB literature and several lines of genetics-based evidence for common ancestry. In so doing, he also addresses the scientific robustness and reliability of the RTB model.
In this video Conversation, Rev. N.T. Wright responds to the controversy in evangelicalism about evolution. Is this a "culture war" issue?
Can science provide substantive insight into the question of God's existence? Isaac's paper examines three schools of thought regarding the possibility of detecting God's existence through science: Evolutionism, Creationism, and Intelligent Design.
In these two brief video Conversations, John Walton discusses the problem of trying to integrate ancient scripture with our modern worldview.
In this paper, Baylor philosophy professor Francis Beckwith distinguishes between Intelligent Design (ID) and Thomistic Design (TD).
In this short video, physicist Ard Louis expresses some doubts about Intelligent Design, noting that his primary resistance to the movement is based on theological grounds rather than science.
In this video Conversation, N.T. Wright explores how the ancient Jewish audience read Genesis before and up to the time that Jesus arrived. He asserts that readers of Genesis today who focus simply on the number of days of creation and whether there is evidence in the text pointing to an old or new earth—are in effect not reading the complete text.
I am asked all the time to explain, in a nutshell, why irreducible complexity is not a valid argument in favor of intelligent design. However, I have never heard anyone put it in a more cogent form than Oxford biophysicist Ard Louis in this video.
In this video clip, Oxford University biophysicist, Ard Louis posits that one of the reasons Christians are hostile to evolution is that they latch onto a particular definition, which puts it in conflict with their theological convictions.

Quill was a popular Northeast USA band that played extensively throughout New England and New York in the late 1960s and that gained national attention by performing at the original Woodstock Festival in 1969. The band was originally founded by two singer/songwriters and brothers from the Boston area, Jon and Dan Cole. The Coles were managed by Ray Paret and David Jenks of Amphion Management, a Boston artist management group that helped to lay the groundwork for a fertile music scene in the Cambridge-Boston area. Many musicians who became international stars were a part of their coterie of bands, like the J. Geils Band, Peter Wolf & the Hallucinations (with Wolf later joining Geils to form a hit combination), Skunk Baxter (later of Doobie Brothers and Steely Dan fame), Jim Hodder of The Bead Game (who went on to become a drummer and vocalist for Steely Dan), Andy Pratt, Jimmy Thompson, drummer Russ Levine and Country Funk whose bass player Jim Lanham was later a founding member of The Pure Prairie League. Many very successful Boston groups and musicians such as Aerosmith, The Cars, Jonathan Edwards, and Boston rose up out of the creative atmosphere in which Amphion was a key player.

Moving Day does not have to look like Laundry Day. Because moving into the dorms (or a new apartment) also means meeting your entire floor (and future friends — unless you happen to be moving in NYC, in which case, go ahead and continue to be antisocial). And that means it's even more important to look the part of the cool, collected woman you are...all while lugging around suitcases twice your size.How, you ask? Rescue an outfit from your packing frenzy that is moveable (we're funny, we know) but cute, in fabrics that stretch but also make a statement. Practical shoes are a must, but sweats and tee are not.
