Mother 'hired her own daughter to shoot dead her lesbian partner because she thought she was having an affair'
Wisconsin woman Dianna Siveny finally made her first court appearance in connection to a murder that happened five years ago.
Siveny was arrested Friday for her alleged involvement in the death of her lesbian partner Lara Plamann.
Plamann was found shot dead in a shed on property she shared with Siveny.
Scroll down for video
Co-conspirators allege Dianna Siveny was the ringleader in a plot to murder her girlfriend, Lara Plamann
Dianna Siveny faces life in prison for her alleged role in the 2007 murder of Lara Plamann
During her first court appearance, Siveny remained silent, turned away from the judge.
'I think the police reports are over 300 pages long,' said Carrie Schneider, the Outagamie County District Attorney.
Authorities say Siveny believed Plamann was having an affair.
Last week alleged co-conspirator Rosie Campbell told police she was wrapped up in a plot to murder Plamann along with Siveny, and Siveny's daughter, Kandi.
Campbell claimed Siveny offered her $5,000 to help in the murder on the night of Oct. 17, 2007.
Campbell has been charged with first degree intentional homicide.
If convicted she faces life in prison. She is being held on a $1 million cash bond.
A preliminary hearing in the case is set for March 25.
A witness claims the trio murdered Lara at this isolated Wisconsin storage property
'You never know what's going to come, you never know who suddenly is going to make statements,' Schneider told NBC 26. 'But law enforcement has not slept on this one, I can tell you that.'
Campbell said all three women drove to Wisconsin on a mission to murder Plamann under Siveny's direction.
'A beating was not enough now, they should make it look like an accident, get it done, wear gloves,' she said in her criminal complaint.
But Seviny 'chickened out' when they arrived, so Kandi shot Plamann herself.
'I'll do it,'' Kandi said, according to Campbell's statement. ''I'll just do it.''
Rosie Campbell told police that the Siveny family offered to pay her to help murder Lara, but it was Kandi Siveny who ended up pulling the trigger
Afterwards the trio drove to Minnesota, where Campbell claims Siveny gave her $300 plus drugs to keep 'her mouth shut.'
However Campbell kept a bullet from the gun as a 'memento.'
Police later matched the bullet to the one found in Plamann's autopsy.
Plamann's family told reporters they long suspected Siveny's involvement in the murder.
Siveny denied any part in Plamann's death in 2009 after information in an unsealed warrant named her as a suspect.
At the time she told Post-Crescent Media any information in the documents was 'all garbage.'
She claimed she'd been wrongfully named by police informants.
'They have only targeted me,' she told Green Bay Pres Gazette. 'I never once said anything to anybody or offered anyone any money or anything to harm Lara in any way. They have not looked anywhere else since day one.'
Siveny denied any connection to the case in 2009, claiming she had been unfairly targeted by police for the homicide
Outagamie County District Attorney Carrie Schneider praised the arrests as testament to the police department's tenacity
Plamann's family sees this as a way to finally reach closure in their loved one's death.
'It's been a long time. We know that, they know that, but without
their dedication and preserving, we never would have gotten to where we
are today,' said Casey Plamann, Lara's brother.
'Very never wracking for a little while there,' said Plamann's sister, Abby Hopfensperger. 'But we knew it had to be something good if they were adamant about meeting with us immediately.'
Both Kandi Siveny and Campbell face an extradition hearing to be taken from St. Paul, Minn., where they reside.
Kandi is serving time on a drug offense and was scheduled to be released from prison on Monday.
They too could face life in prison.
Kathy Flores, a representative of the LGBT Antiviolence Project, said that the arrest was important to equality in the region.
'This case highlighted that violence happens in all relationships,' Flores said. 'Everyone deserves justice equally and we see that happening today.'

papular rash with blisters on the skin of the legs, buttocks, and arms. It typically affects children between 9 months and 9 years of age. Skin lesions typically last at least 10 days and often last for several weeks. The lesions are usually preceded by an underlying infection (usually a virus), which may cause associated symptoms such as low-grade fever, sore throat, or symptoms of an upper respiratory infection. When GCS is associated with hepatitis B, Epstein-Barr, or cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection, acute hepatitis may also occur. GCS is thought to be a hypersensitive response to the underlying infection. While in many countries the underlying cause is hepatitis B, this is rarely the cause in North America. GCS typically does not require treatment and goes away on its own within 1 to 3 months.[1][2] In some cases, a mild topical steroid cream may be prescribed to relieve itching.[3]Gianotti Crosti syndrome (GCS) is a rare childhood skin condition characterized by a

Ina Hughs: Top book picks from this year's reading
The best gift in Santa's pack or under the tree as far as I am concerned is a good book. Or several, even better.
This time of year, every publisher and book site on the Internet has its own "best of" list, including reviews to check out, excerpts to read and information on ordering it online.
For what it's worth, here are some of my favorite books I read this year in case it might help you with your lists.

What is the best way to draw a variable width line without using glLineWidth? Just draw a rectangle? Various parallel lines? None of the above?
We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.
Assume your original points are (x1,y1) -> (x2,y2). Use the following points (x1-width/2, y1), (x1+width/2,y1), (x2-width/2, y2), (x2+width/2,y2) to construct a rectangle and then use quads/tris to draw it. This the simple naive way. Note that for large line widths you'll get weird endpoint behavior. What you really want to do then is some smart parallel line calculations (which shouldn't be that bad) using vector math. For some reason dot/cross product and vector projection come to mind.
You can draw two triangles:
Ok, how about this: (Ozgar)
A / \ / \ . p1 \ / \ / D B - .p2 - - - C
So AB is
Note there's potentially a CW/CCW winding problem with this algorithm -- if perp is computed as (-y, x) in the above diagram then it will be CCW winding, if (y, -x) then it will be a CW winding.
For those coming looking for a good solution to this, this code is written using LWJGL, but can easily be adapted to any implementation of OpenGL.
Another way to do this, if you are writing a software rasterizer by chance, is to use barycentric coordinates in your pixel coloration stage and color pixels when one of the barycentric coordinates is near 0. The more of an allowance you make, the thicker the lines will be.
I've had to do the same thing earlier today.
For creating a line that spans
The unit-square is very simply created from a two-triangle strip
The burden here is placed primarily on OpenGL (and your graphics hardware) rather than your application code. The procedure above is turned very easily into a generic function by surrounding
A rectangle (i.e. GL_QUAD or two GL_TRIANGLES) sounds like your best bet by the sounds of it, not sure I can think of any other way.

Arts The Artists Speak: No. 31 and No. 2
posted by August 23 at 9:30 AMon
OK, these two podcasts aren't with artists, but I'm keeping this title anyway as my weekly recommendation to listen to other people's words instead of mine.
If you're new to this, I do a weekly podcast called In/Visible. (You simply click, and you can listen. I've done 31 of them now.)
New this week is a conversation with Ken Allan, an art historian relatively new to Seattle (and to Seattle University) from LA. Old this week—and recommended as accompaniment—is a conversation with Scott Lawrimore, Seattle's newest art dealer, from last November. These are the people you won't ever get to hear at an artist lecture or a curators' talk.
Allan's area of specialty is postwar Los Angeles—the birth of the city as an art destination, really. (He's my latest find in the LA-comes-to-Seattle category, including curator Michael Darling of Seattle Art Museum [formerly of the Museum of Contemporary Art in LA] and Olga Koumoundouros [the artist inaugurating Open Satellite in Bellevue].)
How was LA built? Was LA then like Seattle now? Allan is a thoughtful guy (and a fan of Wallace Berman, seen below in a self-portrait).
Here is some of what he had to say:
(Walter) Hopps was about exposing people to the fact that great abstract painting was going on in San Fransisco, and some there in LA. So he created this—he was trying to find a venue for this show and ended up renting a merry-go-round space on the old Santa Monica pier. He installed the work in this merry-go-round building with jazz playing.
What's so great about Scott Lawrimore and the Lawrimore Project is that he seems to be forging a path to both cultivate a community here, and to try to get in dialogue both nationally and internationally.
That last bit makes a nice segue into a rainy November morning with Lawrimore. If it is possibly that anyone hasn't heard already, Lawrimore Project opened last summer and since then has done much to deserve attention. The gallery has hosted shows, talks, performances, and brunches.
What Allan says impresses him almost the most about Lawrimore's project is the thinking and talking that goes on slightly under the radar with Lawrimore, and I'd have to agree. When Allan and I got together earlier this week, Allan had just come from a weekly Art Klatch hosted by Lawrimore at Cafe Presse (Tuesday mornings at 7 am, open to anyone). Topics range, baguettes are chewy.
Here is some of what Lawrimore says:
Me: Why do you mistrust the eye? Lawrimore: I don't mistrust the eye. Me: You completely do! Lawrimore: Oh, well, I need an example of what it is I have shown at the gallery that does not have eye appeal. … I admit that, unfortunately, the visual arts are still quite visual … In reference to the Jupiter Art Fair (in Portland), 90 percent of the art there was visually driven and it ended there and there wasn't much going on behind it.
The moment of a sale in a gallery, when you're with a client and they're looking at an object, that's one thing. But I think beyond that the strength of placing work and building collections is in the dialogue that happens between those times where we're sitting in the office chatting about what what we just saw somewhere else at another gallery or in a magazine or at auction, and I start to get an idea about what it is they're collecting and why it is they're collecting this and not that.

Fixed-Price - Entry Level ($) - Est. Budget: $500 - PostedSkills: VOIP Software CSS HTML HTML5
I need a marketplace script that connects service based businesses to customers with the marketplace in the middle. I need the ability to have customers pay the marketplace for service jobs, and then the marketplace pay the service business when the customer advises the job is complete. I also want the ability to split the payment from the marketplace to the business into two payments if I choose to. So if the total amount charged for the job is $350 and I take $20 for the marketplace commission then the remaining $330 could be split into two payments. One when the job is paid for initially and one when the job is complete. I want the process to be similar to the following: User browses to site. User selects type of service they need. User is presented with the option to get a custom quote from multiple service businesses and/or is given the option to immediately pay a flat rate price set by the business for their service. Customer funds go into escrow and once customer and business have accepted the work half of the funds are deposited into businesses bank account. Once customers work is satisfactorily completed the customer requests that the remaining funds be given to the business. I want the payment platform to be Stripe. I need the ability to set either the custom set-price lead fee which is added to the customers payment and/or a percentage fee that is added to the total given to the customer. This software feature set could be similar to what is available here: http://www.mymarketplacebuilder.com/#!features/bte9j

Fukushima still spewing massive radiation plumes; America in 'huge trouble,' says nuclear expert
Tuesday, May 01, 2012
by: Ethan A. Huff, staff writer
(NaturalNews) During a recent Congressional delegation trip to Japan, Oregon Senator Ron Wyden witnessed with his own eyes the horrific aftermath of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster, which we have heard very little about from the media in recent months. The damage situation was apparently so severe, according to his account, that he has now written a letter to Ichiro Fujisaki, Ambassador of Japan, petitioning for more to be done, and offering any additional support and assistance that might help contain and resolve the situation as quickly as possible.
The letter, which many experts see as the ominous writing on the wall for the grave severity of the circumstances, offers a disturbing glimpse into what is really going on across the Pacific Ocean that the mainstream media is apparently ignoring. While referencing the fact that all four of the affected reactors are still "badly damaged," Sen. Wyden seems to hint in his letter that Reactor 4, which has reportedly been on the verge of collapse for many months now, could be nearing catastrophic implosion.

text: Illinois Senate Illinois Lawmakers Approve Expansion Of Adoption Information By Associated Press • May 25, 2016 "Writing? Yeah." By Flickr User Caleb Roenigk / (CC X 2.0) A measure that would give Illinois adoptees more information about why they were adopted is heading to the governor's desk. The plan sponsored by Democratic state Rep. Ann Williams and state Sen. Toi Hutchinson would require state adoption agencies to give adoptees age 18 and older information detailing the reasons for the adoption. Illinois Senate members approved the plan Tuesday on a 53-0 vote. It now goes to Gov. Bruce Rauner. Illinois Senate Committee Passes Resolution Reacting To Transgender Bathroom Laws By Sarah Mueller • May 25, 2016 Illinois senators are calling for a ban on unnecessary government travel to two states with bathroom laws targeting transgender individuals. The resolution, which passed a state Senate committee Tuesday, caused spirited debate. It urges North Carolina and Mississippi to repeal laws that requires people to use the bathroom of the gender they were assigned at birth, rather than their gender identity. It also urges Governor Bruce Rauner to restrict travel to those states. Senate OKs Interstate Redistricting Plan By Associated Press • May 12, 2016 Brian Mackey The Illinois Senate has adopted a plan that would create a uniform, interstate process for drawing political boundaries. Chicago Democratic Sen. Kwame Raoul's plan was adopted 42-6 Thursday. He says it answers the call President Barack Obama made in February when he addressed the Illinois General Assembly in which he once served. Obama called for fair redistricting processes that eliminated drawing boundaries to favor one party over another. Illinois Senate Approves Change To School Funding By Dusty Rhodes • May 11, 2016 State of Illinois The Illinois Senate approved a big change to the way Illinois funds schools yesterday, but that doesn't ensure anything will change. It's the third iteration of a plan crafted by State Senator Andy Manar, a Democrat from Bunker Hill. His proposal overhauls the formula used to distribute state aid, sending more to districts with high concentrations of poverty. But Republicans decry the plan as a bailout for Chicago schools. Illinois Senate Passes $454 Million More For Colleges By Associated Press • May 5, 2016 Jenna Dooley / WNIJ A $454 million bill to increase funding for financially struggling Illinois colleges and universities has cleared the state Senate. Lawmakers approved the bill on a near unanimous vote and sent the measure to the House on Thursday. Democrats who control the Legislature and Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner have been unable to agree on a budget since July 1, and higher education institutions have been forced to lay off staff. Last month, lawmakers used $600 million left over in an education fund to help colleges make it through the summer. Illinois Senate Approves House Spending Plan By Amanda Vinicky • Apr 13, 2016 Flickr user Pictures of Money / "Money" (CC BY 2.0) The Illinois Senate today moved swiftly to approve a spending plan the House passed yesterday. It authorizes spending nearly 4 billion dollars on higher education and social services -- two areas that have been caught without funding during a prolonged political fight. But Senate Minority Leader Christine Radogno says it doesn't mean universities or programs would actually get money. Radogno says the state has none to give. "If you vote for this, you're voting for a hollow promise," Radogno said. "Let's look at the bills that have funding." Bill Proposes Raising Age To Buy Tobacco To 21 In Illinois By Associated Press • Mar 21, 2016 "Day 68..." By Flickr User Sonia Belviso / (CC BY 2.0) Legislation has been introduced in the Illinois Senate to raise the age to purchase tobacco products in the state from 18 to 21. Democratic state Sen. John Mulroe of Chicago says he hopes the bill he's sponsoring will decrease the number of young people who start smoking. But the Illinois Retail Merchants Association says those affected by the change would find other ways to obtain tobacco products. Lawmakers Consider Removing Sales Tax On Femine Hygiene, Incontinence Products By Sarah Mueller • Mar 10, 2016 "Drug Store" by Flickr User Consumerist Dot Com / (CC BY 2.0) The Illinois Senate is considering legislation to exempt feminine hygiene and incontinence products from the state sales tax. Lawmakers passed the measure out of committee yesterday. Democrat Melinda Bush calls it an unfair tax on women and seniors, who frequently buy these items. "They're spending hundreds of dollars every couple weeks on the products. You can imagine if you're in Chicago where it's 10.25 percent. I mean, literally, these are utility bills for our seniors," Bush said. State Lawmakers Done For The Year By Amanda Vinicky • Dec 5, 2014 State of Illinois State legislators are done with their work until Republican Bruce Rauner becomes governor next month. Members of the House finished their work Wednesday, and after a morning of debate, the Senate adjourned yesterday afternoon. The General Assembly meets over a two year cycle. This one is coming to a somewhat lackluster close. Though the House declared itself totally done, Senate President John Cullerton is leaving open the possibility of calling legislators back to Springfield. "But it's not anticipated we'll be having any more action. Illinois Senate Approves Pension Overhaul By WNIJ news • May 10, 2013 The Illinois Senate has approved an overhaul of the state's pension systems.

cheap prescription glasses y buy from this seller again. Great looking glasses, fold well, feel sturdier than expected, fake leather case feels quite rubbery to touch, more like a swimming cap than leather! Only problem is mine came with cracked glass o Copenhagen
Notice: Undefined index: 2744 in Z:\FCK_VM\htdocs\fanzhi\index.php on line 69
frame for glasses cond pair to keep in the car.
As much as i would like to consider myself an out and out cyclist who rides to work every day, i dont! but when i do, one of the things that annoys me during the ride is the fly in the eye, the watering of the eyes when riding at speed or the turn of the corner into blinding sunlight.
I've often picked up my everyday sunglasses and although they do the job, they don't cover all basis. Such as darker weather making conventional sunglasses dangerous to use, the nose grips not staying put when.
bestern western ce.
Love the polarised lenses and wrap around style fit of these glasses. Only on 3rd pair as 1st pair were stolen - someone obviously admired them!! The second pair were mullered by my 3yo daughter until the arm fell off. She will not be getting hold of this pair for sure.
Conspiracy - I think so, this is the third set I have bought for my wife as she keeps breaking them but she loves them so much that we have to get another pair, great price also.
Wouldn't normally order sunglasses on line (as I usually need to try a few on) but very happy with these and a great price too, th oakley apparel or me are exceptionally excellent in all departments, so pleased with them especially when driving ,eye fatigue is non existent, lens 110 per cent uv rays bye bye!
Came securely packed after 7 days (from China!). The polarized lenses are slightly darker than average, which is how I like 'em and the metal frame and arms seem decent enough quality. So, certainly can't fault the value for money.
My only slight criticism is that these sunglasses are VERY wide. Both the spread of the arms and the overall buy 3d glasses ld fit a 2 year old
good price,fast delivery.recommended seller.thanks
The glasses wear easy and look good, look like glasses that cost much more.
Quality plastics and construction - should last well.
Would have been even better with a slip case/bag.
Sun glare is greatly reduced. Some water reflection reduction. Could had done with a soft carry pouch and the hinge being a little less stiff. Otherwis.

I was told that the one thing I must do when arriving in Melbourne is to visit this little bratwurst shop at the Queen Victoria Market. In fact, I was even given a $5 Australian bill as a parting gift from Vancouver for purchasing one. Unfortunately, $5 doesn't cover the costs of the bratwursts at the Bratwurst Shop & Co, but with the evident popularity of this place, paying a few extra coins for one wasn't a problem. Now if you follow us, you know that if Anthony Bourdain has raved about it, you must eat it.
We walked through the entire QVM (it's huge!) before finding our way to this stall at the deli corner of the markets. But if it wasn't the smell of tantalizing sausages, the crowd in front was enough to help you find this place. There must have been six people behind the counter serving up brats, it was busy! But the service was super fast and within minutes, I had a bratwurst in hand.
The menu was simple. Bratwursts. That's it. I went for a simple spicy bratwurst with just onions, mustard and tomato sauce. The damage was just under $7, so no complaints there.
With all the hype and anticipation, I was a little underwhelmed when I got my bratwurst. A few bites in and it all came back. The bread roll was crispy and a bit chewy, which I love (mmm… Vietnamese sub style). But if you're a fan of the soft break apart hot dog buns this one might throw you off. The bratwurst was perfectly charred resulting in the crispy skin. The bratwurst itself was very different from ones I've had before. It had a lot more texture, reminiscent of Chinese sausages, while still remaining moist.
Stepping just outside the market exit beside the bratwurst shop, there were tables, where just about everyone had a bratwurst along with other eats from the market. Sunny day, crisp winter air, and a bratwurst from the Bratwurst Shop & Co: perfect combo.
4 Responses to Bratwurst Shop & Co [Melbourne, Australia]
By Canadian standards, this is expensive. The identical bratwurst or a spicy Italian sausage from a Toronto sausage street cart would be $4.50 at most, with almost any condiment you want available via self-service.
Interesting! I wonder how the taste would compare. I mean, it's not like the bratwurst is sourced from the same place…
Very true! That being said, in Australia, dining out is quite pricey. An average bowl of pho is about $10, whereas in Canada you can find Pho for around $6 a bowl. It's quite a price shock when visiting Australia for us Canadians. If you read one of our previous entries on sushi in Sydney… it almost hurts!
So at $6 for a highly talked about and famed bratwurst joint, that was reasonable.
Thanks for commenting! And welcome to our blog.
[…] find this little doughnut wagon. And after downing a delicious bratwurst sausage at the Bratwurst Shop & Co, these doughnuts are the perfect treat! Another must visit in the […]

The present invention relates to a lockable, quick release assembly for securing removable parts to a bicycle frame, particularly for securing the wheels to the bicycle frame so as to prevent unauthorized removal.
Many racing-style, lightweight and mountain-type bikes, especially those of the more expensive variety, are equipped with quick release mechanisms for easily attaching and detaching certain components to the bicycle frame. Commonly, such components are the front and rear wheels of the bicycle and the seat. Thus, the front wheel is often removed from the bicycle during storage which seems to reduce the likelihood of theft of the bicycle, at least of the front wheel of the bicycle. Thus, the front wheel of a bicycle having a quick release assembly is typically removed when the bicycle is chained to a bicycle rack or post. Most of the quick release assemblies use a hand-operated lever which controls a cam for releasing and securing the wheel to the fork of the bicycle frame. That is, the lever is moved a distance to either tighten the wheel to the fork assembly, or to release the wheel from the fork assembly. In such a construction, traditional quick release mechanisms, by the very nature of their ease of removal, may actually facilitate theft of relatively expensive bicycle wheels.
In an attempt to lessen the likelihood of theft of bicycle wheels because of use of a quick release mechanism, the following possible solutions have been proposed in the U.S. patent literature.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,028,915--Discloses a lever arm lock for a quick release hub assembly which is provided with a cover for maintaining the lever in a locked position. Cover must be removed to move lever to an unlocked position for releasing the hub.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,057,985--Discloses use of a lockable cover member which fits over an axle nut to prevent access to the axle nut.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,621,873--Discloses a quick release assembly which uses a lock to prevent the hand-operated lever from being rotated to the open position.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,674,306--Utilizes a U-shaped shackle (something like a Kryptonite bike lock) device which also uses a specially keyed nut to work in conjunction with the U-shaped shackle.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,724,692--Another example of the use of a locking device to impair the movement of the actuating lever.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,022,672--Discloses the use of a removable lever whereby the lever can be manually pulled out after the clamping operation is completed to make it difficult for a thief to release the clamping force.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,027,628--Shows a removable lever secured by a retention means.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,339,660--Discloses use of an insertable lever along with a lock so that when the lock is in the locked position, the assembly is not accessible to the lever.
From a review of the foregoing patents, they seem to disclose the use of a removable actuation lever to deter would-be thieves and also disclose the use of locks to physically impair the movement of the actuating lever.
Although the quick release mechanisms describe in the above-noted patents for the most part make theft of an expensive component of a bicycle frame much more difficult, there still remains a need for a quick release which is lockable, lightweight, simple in construction and of a relatively low cost.

FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a typical prior art quick release assembly.
FIG. 3 is a sectional view of a typical prior art quick release assembly.
FIG. 4A is a part sectional view of the quick release assembly of this invention in an open position.
FIG. 4B is a part sectional view of the quick release assembly of this invention in a locked position.
FIG. 5 is a perspective, exploded view of the quick release assembly of this invention.
FIG. 6 is a sectional view of the quick release assembly of this invention.

FIG. 8 is a partial perspective view of the removable handle of the quick release assembly of this invention.
FIG. 9 is a partial perspective view of a variety of keys which may be used with the handle shown in FIG. 8.
Prior to providing a description of the preferred embodiment of this invention, it is appropriate that a brief description of a typical prior art quick release mechanism for the front wheel of a bicycle be given so as to better appreciate the inventive contribution of the quick release mechanism of this invention. FIGS. 2 and 3 show such a prior art release assembly having the numeral 10. FIG. 2 is a partial perspective view which shows front wheel hub 14 having spokes 44 and a threaded hollow axle 16 which extends through the interior of the hub and is secured to the hub by means of nut 32. The hub assembly 14 is mounted within a wheel fork 12. As shown in FIG. 3, release assembly 10 is mounted to axle 16 immediately adjacent to fork 12. Assembly 10 also includes a cylindrical-shaped piston 34. Although not shown, piston 34 is provided with its own axle which is slideably positioned within the interior of hollow axle 16. Also, piston 34 is provided with a cylindrical-shaped bore 38 which extends through the piston. Assembly 10 further includes handle 18 having a cam-shaped area 22 and threaded shaft 24. To complete the assembly, a cylindrical cap 36 is sized to fit over piston 34, and is provided with a generally circular opening 42 which is sized to accommodate the cam-shaped area 22 of handle 18. The wall of cap 36 directly opposite to opening 42 (See FIG. 3) is provided with opening 46 to accommodate end portion of threaded shaft 24.
To assemble and operate release assembly 10, spring 28 is placed on axle 16 and then the axle of piston 34 is positioned within hollow axle 16. Cap 36 is then placed over piston 34 as shown in FIG. 2, with opening 42 of the cap lined up with bore 38 of the piston. Thereafter, the cam-shaped area 22 and threaded shaft 24 of handle 18 is inserted through opening 42 of cap 36 and into bore 38 of piston 34. The end of threaded shaft 24 goes through opening 46 of the cap, and the entire assembly 10 is secured together by means of cap nut 26 which is screwed on to the end of threaded shaft 24.
To operate, the cyclist rotates handle 18 in a horizontal plane which causes the eccentric cam portion 22 of the handle to rotate within bore 38 of piston 34. Rotation of cam 22 causes a force to be applied, not only to the interior wall of bore 38 of piston 34, but to cap 36 as well. Thus, rotation of handle 18 causes movement of cap 36 and piston 34 in opposite directions, either towards fork 12, or away from the fork. Referring to FIG. 3 the assembly is shown in an unlocked position, that is, cap 36 and piston 34 are at a distance from the fork and the wheel. In this position, wheel, including assembly 10, maybe readily removed from the bicycle. It should be noted that there is a space 48 between piston 34 and the interior wall of cap 36 which permits lateral movement of cap 36, either towards or away from fork 12.
Although quick release assembly 10 is compact, relatively easy to manufacture, and does provide for quick removal or replacement of wheels, it has an important drawback and that is, it is not lockable Therefore, such a quick release could actually facilitate theft of a bicycle wheel.
The present invention provides a quick release assembly 50 which protects against theft. As shown in FIG. 1, the assembly 50 is very compact and is easily secured to the axle of the front wheel of a bicycle. As shown in FIGS. 1, 5, 7, 8 and 9, assembly 50 utilizes a handle or lever 52 which rotates a cam-shaped piston somewhat in the same manner as described in the prior art assembly. However, handle 52 is not provided with the cam-shaped area as shown in the prior art assembly, but is provided with a special key 54 which permits handle 52 to function not only to rotate a cam-shaped member within the interior of the assembly, but to provide a means for locking the assembly so as to prevent the likelihood of theft of the wheel.
As shown best in FIGS. 8 and 9, the key portion 54 of handle 52 is not the customary notched and ground implement that is customarily used to open or close a lock. As shown in FIG. 9, an almost infinite variety of keys, as demonstrated by keys 54a-54f, can be employed. Such keys are straight, elongated, rigid structures which have generally flat surfaces and are milled to provide a wide variety of angular shapes. They are preferably milled from steel, and should have the strength to resist bending or breakage when used in assembly 50.
Assembly 50 further includes piston 64 provided with an eccentric bore 88 which extends through piston 64, as shown best in FIG. 6. The end of piston 64 which is directly opposite to the opening to bore 88 is provided with circular opening 92. Piston 64 is secured to axle 57 and preferably in a permanent manner. As shown in FIGS. 4A and 4B, axle 57 is positioned within hollow axle 16. Although not shown, axle 57 extends completely through and slightly beyond hollow axle 16. The exposed end of axle 57 is threaded to receive a threaded nut for securing the assembly 50 to the fork 12. Rotatably mounted within bore 88 of piston 64 is cam member 74. As shown in FIG. 5, included in cam member 74 is a generally cylindrical shaped key receiving member 76, provided with keyhole 78 for receiving the key 54 of handle 52. Key receiving member 76 and cam 74 are of a unitary construction, and as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the diameter of member 76 is less than that of cam 74. Further, key receiving member 76 is positioned off-center of cam 74 and preferably such that a portion of its sidewall is in line with a portion of the sidewall of cam 74 as shown best in FIG. 6.
Surrounding piston 64 and cam 74 is a cylindrical-shaped cap 66 having open end 94 and closed end 96. The wall of cap 66 is provided with opening 68 to the interior of the cap and in alignment with bore 88 and which opening is sized to accommodate key receiving member 76 of cam 74. The wall of cap 66 which is directly opposite to opening 68 is provided with circular opening 84 to accommodate pivot pin 82. As shown best in FIG. 6, the base of cam 74 is provided with cylindrical-shaped cavity 86 to accommodate one end of pivot pin 82. Pivot pin 82 extends through opening 84 in the wall of cap 66, through opening 92 of piston 64, and then into cavity 86 at the bottom of the cam. The purpose of the pivot pin is to permit proper rotation of cam 74 within piston 64 and, of course, cap 66. The end of pivot pin 82 which is located within cavity 86 is positioned within the cavity in a somewhat loose manner to allow for free rotation of cam 74. The opposite end of pivot pin 82 which is positioned within opening 84 of cap 66 is tightly secured within this opening so that there is no rotational movement of the pivot pin.
A further feature of the quick release assembly 50 is the incorporation of means to secure handle 52 to the assembly so that it will not fall off during normal use of the bicycle, but yet be easily removed by the cyclist so that theft of the wheel is not likely to occur. As shown most clearly in FIG. 5, the base area 52a of handle 52 is provided with release clip 56 which surrounds a substantial portion of the base of the handle above the key 54 and which is provided with a pair of finger grips 62. Release clip 56 is preferably made of spring steel. The exterior side of the lower portion of clip 56 is provided with protruding rib 58 which is sized so that it can be received in groove 72 in opening 68 of the wall of cap 66. As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the wall of cap 66 at the opening 68 is provided with groove 72 positioned about the circumference of the opening. Then as shown in FIG. 7A, when the finger grips 62 are squeezed together, the outside diameter of clip 56 is reduced somewhat, permitting mating of the rib 58 with groove 72. When pressure on the finger grips is released, the clip expands somewhat as shown in FIG. 7B, and the rib is received in the groove locking the handle 52 and key 54 into the assembly 50.
To secure the wheel to the front fork of the bicycle, the cyclist inserts key 54 of handle 52 into keyhole 78 of key receiving member 76 of cam 74. Rotation of handle 52 will cause rotation of cam 74 within piston 64. Each of piston 64 and cam 74 are rotatably mounted on pivot pin 82 which is tightly secured to cap 66. Since cam 74 is cam-shaped and the wall of bore 88 of piston 64 is eccentric, rotation of cam 74 will cause movement of piston 64, cam 74 and cap 66. In FIG. 4A, the quick release assembly 50 is shown in an open position. That is, cap 66 has been moved away from fork 12 allowing removal of the wheel. However, in FIG. 4B, assembly 50 is in a locked position with the end 94 of cap 66 being moved tightly up against fork 12 preventing removal of the wheel.
As earlier noted, the key assembly portion of quick release assembly 50 consisting of handle 52 with its attached key 54, and cam 74 with its key receiving member 76, functions not only to rotate the cam of the assembly in order to secure or unsecure the wheel from the bicycle, but also functions to prevent the likelihood of theft of the wheel. It should be apparent that once the handle with its key is removed from assembly 50, unless one has a handle with a duplicate key, rotation of cam 74 is not possible, and removal of the wheel becomes extremely difficult, if not impossible. A further advantage of the key assembly is the provision of release clip 56. When the handle and key are inserted into the assembly, the release clip is so constructed that the handle and key will not fall out of the assembly 50. That is, the cyclist can use the bicycle with the handle and the key in place. When the cyclist wants to park the bicycle and remove the front wheel, the handle and key may be used to release the wheel from the fork and then, by means of the release clip, the cyclist may take the handle and key with him. However, if the cyclist removes the key assembly while the wheel is locked in place in the fork, it would be extremely difficult for someone without the key assembly to remove the wheel.

Sun Sep 2 2012 (Updated 09/06/12)Judge Gallagher Orders Gary Johnson to Jail for Sleeping
Sun Sep 2 2012 (Updated 09/06/12)Gary Johnson is Back Behind Bars for Sleeping Outside Santa Cruz Courthouse
On Friday, August 24th, Gary Johnson was ordered by Judge John Gallagher to report to the Santa Cruz County jail at 3 p.m. The jail refused to accept Johnson, ordering him to return on Monday at 8 a.m. Johnson was frustrated with this and returned to the Santa Cruz Courthouse. Upon entering the Courthouse, Johnson was immediately arrested by a sheriff's deputy.
Johnson was seen being handcuffed and led down the hallway. He is currently being held in the Rountree Jail facility in Watsonville. His release date is reportedly scheduled for October 31st, 2012.
Johnson is a houseless activist who maintained a nightly protest at the Santa Cruz Courthouse from late December 2011 until early January 2012 against local and state laws which criminalize the basic human necessity to sleep. Johnson, who slept next to a sign which stated "6.36.010 647(e) A LEGACY OF CRUELTY", was arrested four times for "lodging" in violation of Penal Code 647(e) and "trespassing" PC 602(o) during his protests. "6.36.010" is the Santa Cruz Sleeping Ban, officially known as Municipal Code 6.36.010, which makes it a crime to sleep outdoors in Santa Cruz, with or without bedding, at any time between the hours of 11 p.m. to 8:30 a.m.

Testosterone is considered to be the "male hormone" that's produced in men by the testes. Although women's ovaries produce some testosterone, the hormone is produced in much higher concentrations in men and it is responsible for many of the secondary sex characteristics seen in men such as a deeper voice and hair on the chest, in addition to contributing to a healthy libido, building muscle mass, and maintaining energy levels.
The problems associated with high testosterone levels are infrequent and rare in middle-aged and elderly men who are not receiving testosterone or other steroid treatments. When the testosterone level becomes out of balance, it usually becomes too low rather than too elevated.
Normal or average testosterone levels
In general, the normal range in males is about 270 to 1070 ng/dL with an average level of 679 ng/dL. A normal male testosterone level peaks at about age 20, and then it slowly declines. Testosterone levels above or below the normal range are considered by many to be out of balance. Moreover, some researchers suggest that the healthiest men have testosterone levels between 400 - 600 ng/dL.
Benefits and disadvantages of higher than average testosterone levels
Men who have a testosterone level that is higher than average may experience both benefits and drawbacks.
Examples of benefits, which are modest, of men having higher than average testosterone levels (low-T) include:
Examples of drawbacks or disadvantages of men having higher than average testosterone levels include:
Anabolic steroids
Both men and women that utilize anabolic steroids to gain an athletic "edge" (for example, some professional athletes) or to increase muscle mass (for example, some bodybuilders) may experience high levels of testosterone and develop problems, for example:
