Product Description
Product Description
The Motorola DROID offers the powerful Android 2.0 operating system, fast and reliable Verizon Wireless 3G connectivity, and a wealth of Google Mobile services--including the new Google Maps with Navigation app.
In addition to 3G connectivity, the DROID offers Wi-Fi networking (802.11b/g) for accessing home networks, business networks, and Wi-Fi hotspots while on the go, and Bluetooth connectivity for both hands-free devices and stereo music streaming. Other features include memory expansion via microSD memory cards (a 16 GB card is included with the device), threaded text and picture messaging for seamless on the go conversations, Visual Voicemail capabilities, 3.5mm headset jack, and up to 6.4 hours of talk time.
Here are just a few of the things that the Motorola DROID can do for you:
- Zip through the Web: Access the Internet at 3G speeds via the nation's largest and most reliable 3G network, or from any Wi-Fi hotspot. The multi-window HTML browser with a massive processor delivers the Web the way you expect.
- See it all in cinema-style: View the Web, email, Google Maps, videos, and more on a brilliant 3.7-inch high-resolution screen. Boasting a width of 854 pixels to reduce the need for side-to-side panning, and more than 400,000 pixels total, DROID has more than twice that of the leading competitor.
- Run multiple applications at once: Customize your DROID with thousands of applications and hundreds of widgets available at Android Market. Toggle back and forth between up to six applications at once to juggle the universe and your apps.
- Perform Google Search at the speed of sound: Simply tell DROID what you're looking for using voice-activated search, and it will serve up Google search results based on your location. If you want more, just type what you're looking for into the search bar on the home screen and DROID will also search content on your phone, such as apps and contacts, and the Web.
- Capture moments: Snap digital camera-quality photos with a 5-megapixel camera loaded with the works, including a dual-LED flash, auto-focus, and image stabilization, or capture your friend's antics in 16 million colors with DVD-quality video capture and playback. Store it all on the included 16 GB memory card, so you always have it on hand.
- Multi-task like a master: Keep tabs on all your messages with integrated Gmail and Exchange email pushed directly to you, but don't let them get in your way. With the handy Android notification panel, go straight to the message or simply ignore it, and get back to the task at hand. And, a smart dictionary learns as you type and automatically includes your contacts.
Other features include a 3.7-inch touchscreen, slide-out full QWERTY keyboard, real HTML web browsing, Bluetooth stereo music streaming, microSD memory expansion (with included 16 GB card), and access to both personal and corporate email (see larger image).
See a schematic of all the controls.
- Get where you need to go with Google Maps Navigation (Beta): DROID is the first device with Google Maps Navigation, providing turn-by-turn voice guidance as a free feature of Google Maps. It's powered by Google and connected to the Internet. Use voice shortcuts and simply say "Navigate to [your destination]," and you'll be on your way. See live traffic, use Street View or satellite imagery to view your route, and get access to the most recent maps and business information from Google Maps without ever needing to update your device.

Customer Reviews
Top Customer Reviews
If you're considering getting a Droid with Verizon, you should probably also consider the HTC Droid Incredible. I have one now and can tell you how they compare. (My wife's new-every-two came up and she kindly took my 6-month-old Droid off my hands so I could use her discount to get an Incredible. Is that true love or what??)
The first difference you notice is that the Droid has a physical slide-out keyboard while the Incredible does not. This makes the Incredible thinner and lighter (4.6 ounces compared to the Droid's 6 ounces). The weight difference doesn't look like much on paper, but it feels significant.
Other differences:
- The Droid's battery lasts a couple hours longer than the stock battery that comes with the Incredible.
- The Incredible's MP3 player has better sound quality when using good earphones or plugged into the car stereo. The Droid's sound quality isn't bad at all, but it's not up to par with the iPhone or iPod touch. The Incredible's sound quality is similar to iPhone / iPod touch.
- The Droid has 3 customizable home screens, the Incredible has 7, plus a cool way to navigate among them by seeing a thumbnail of all 7 at the same time. (I can't imagine filling up all 7, I've only filled up 2 of the 7.)
- Multitouch pinch and zoom is implemented better on the Incredible than on the Droid, though the new 2.1 Android software update that all Droids should have now has improved it substantially on the Droid.
- The Droid comes with a 16gb micro SD card, the Incredible either comes with none or with a 2gb card (mine came with none, but Verizon sometimes includes one).Read more ›
- Nice, big screen. The touch interface is will done.
- Full exchange email support including calendar, contact sync, and email folders. Separate corporate calendar is cool too.
- Voice search is the bomb. I searched "McDonalds", "home depot", and "gas station" and found the closest ones to my location. I searched on "Phone John Smith Mobile" and droid made the phone call. I even searched "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" and got the wiki page. lol
- The free GPS is excellent. The satellite layer is awesome. I was going to buy a GPS so the Droid saved me a couple bucks.
- Facebook contact integration is nice.
- Tethering is available via the PDANet app.
- Battery life is surprisingly decent. I returned many good windows mobile phones simply because of the lack luster battery life.
- No Send or End Buttons. I'd much prefer initiating and terminating a call with dedicated buttons
- Flat keyboard causes some typos. The top row of keys are too close to the bottom of the screen.
- I don't like the window shade motion for notifications. I'd prefer a simple button press.
- When viewing emails in landscape mode, the on-screen Delete button is right next to the back button. I deleted 2 emails already. :-P
- I've observed some button press glitches when switching between landscape and portrait mode.
- No pitch and zoom in the browser. Browser seems a bit slower than with the iPhone and the Palm Pre.
- Many operations require a couple extra button presses compared to my old Blackberry.Read more ›

- Gorgeous 3.7-inch (480x854) screen
- Tight Google application integration
- Amazing HTML browser
- Microsoft Exchange support
- Good 5MP digicam
- Surprisingly good camcorder
- 802.11b/g Wi-Fi
- Google Maps Navigation makes standalone GPS units obsolete
- Large selection of free and paid apps available
- Slide-out full QWERTY keyboard
- Power hungry device gulps battery life
- Touch screen is extremely sensitive
- Bluetooth/headset voice dialing unavailable
- Heavy (5.9 ounces)
- Lacks physical direct dial/end buttons
- Physical keyboard could use improvements
- Short USB charging cable
- Included microSD card is Class 2
My two previous phones were the LG Dare and the Blackberry Curve. Without much research, I walked into a Verizon store on the Droid's launch day and bought the Motorola Droid. Initial uneasiness turned into sheer joy. The Droid amazes me at every moment. Here's why:
The 3.7-inch, 480x854 resolution touch screen is stellar! Everything is crystal clear. I transferred Finding Nemo to it and wow! When I moved to the Blackberry from the Dare, the large screen real estate is what I missed most. I compared the screen with a friend's iPhone and we both concluded that the Droid's screen is better. My only gripe about the screen is that it is extremely sensitive. I put a snap-on cover on it as well as a screen protector and it has helped immensely.Read more ›

Bicycle and Motorcycle Helmets (cont.)
Effectiveness of Helmets
Although the idea that helmets would help reduce injuries and deaths may seem obvious, proof was necessary and it needed to be demonstrated. In addition, the question of whether helmets themselves did not increase the risk of other unforeseen injury needed evaluation.
Researchers into motorcycle safety took advantage of changes in some state laws requiring helmets for all riders, regardless of age. There are no similar laws in the United States applying to all bicycle riders, although many states have laws applying to children.
Studies examining the rates of brain injury and deaths before and after the passage of a mandatory helmet law showed a significant reduction in the number of both head injuries and deaths. The reduction held true even when controlling for age, sex, and severity of crash.
The American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons state that "Wearing a bike helmet reduces the risk of serious head injury and brain injury by 85%."

Curious about the newer model? Check out the 2012 Mazda CX-7
By KBB.com Editors
With the full-size Sport Utility Vehicle beginning to fall from public favor, many manufacturers are pinning their hopes on a new class of SUV, commonly referred to as the crossover. The crossover combines the ride and handling of a car with the high seating position and spacious cargo hold of a large SUV, but without the larger vehicle's penalties for fuel economy and maneuverability. The latest crossover to enter the market is Mazda's CX-7, a sleek, five-passenger SUV with the heart of a sports car. Designed to evoke the same sporty image as Mazda's flagship performance coupe, the RX-8, the CX-7 may be the sportiest crossover you can buy for under $25,000. Although the CX-7's turbocharged four-cylinder engine may be a radical departure for those accustomed to a big V8, we think consumers will quickly warm up to its powerful performance and reasonable fuel consumption.
If you're the type who prefers a sport coupe to a station wagon, but the realities of family life negate owning an MX-5, the CX-7's roomy rear seat, optional all-wheel drive and seductive good looks present a workable compromise.
Those who require seating for seven or the ability to tow more than 2000 pounds won't be enthusiastic about the CX-7. Drivers accustomed to a permanently-engaged four-wheel-drive system may not warm to the CX-7's Active Torque Split all-wheel-drive system that engages only when the front tires slip.
Without a single midsize or full-size SUV in its lineup, the CX-7 is an important vehicle for Mazda. The success or failure of the CX-7 will indicate the public's willingness to abandon fuel-thirsty trucks for more efficient (and fun to drive) forms of transportation, such as the upcoming seven-passenger Mazda CX-9.
While Mazda's "zoom-zoom" driving experience may be easily blended into a small sports car, doing so with a five-passenger crossover SUV is quite another story. Fortunately, this one has a...
... happy ending as the CX-7 excels in the areas of handling, braking, acceleration and overall ride comfort. The all-aluminum 2.3-liter turbocharged engine is powerful enough to move the CX-7 with ease, delivering 90 percent of its power in the 2000-2500 rpm range. More importantly, the engine's lightweight construction places less weight over the front wheels, helping improve steering response and maneuverability as well as creating a more evenly balanced chassis. From behind the wheel, the CX-7 feels more like the Mazda6 Sport Wagon than it does a crossover SUV, displaying level cornering, immediate turn-in response and excellent straight-line stability.
Folding Rear Seats
The CX-7's 60/40 split folding rear seats can be lowered via a spring-loaded release located at the rear of the cargo hold. The seatbacks are designed to fold flat without needing to remove the adjustable headrests.
Advanced Keyless Entry and Start System
With the card-shaped remote securely in one's pocket or purse, the CX-7's doors can be unlocked simply by approaching the vehicle.
Mazda is known for its high-quality interiors and the CX-7 is no exception. A tasteful blend of textured black plastic and chrome surrounds make up the instrument cluster and center console, while the optional beige leather seating creates a striking contrast. The broad dashboard features a hooded crease that parallels the base of the windshield, beneath which resides a glowing orange display for the audio and heating readouts. A sporty three-spoke steering wheel borrowed from the MX-5 roadster is an unexpected treat, and the comfortable front bucket seats offer excellent support for spirited driving. An easy-to-reach lever located in the cargo area activates the spring-loaded rear-seat backs, allowing them to be folded flat without having to make a long and awkward reach.
The CX-7 is not your father's chunky SUV. With a windshield fixed at a sleek 66-degree angle, front wheels pushed far forward and an RX-8-inspired hood and front fenders, the CX-7 looks almost as though it was built to race rather than commute. Strong character lines sweep from the front A-pillars to the familiar Mazda five-point grille, while bulging wheel flairs combined with a gently rising beltline help accentuate the CX-7's sports car-like nature. Subtle touches, such as the blacked-out lower air intake, chrome door handles and large round dual exhaust tailpipes further separate the CX-7 from more traditionally-styled crossovers. Bolstering the CX-7's "zoom-zoom" attitude are handsome 18-inch wheels, which Mazda includes as standard equipment on all three trim levels.
The CX-7 comes in three trim levels outfitted with the same 2.3-liter, turbocharged engine and six-speed Sport automatic transmission with manual shift mode. Base models include manual air-conditioning, power windows, power door locks, 18-inch wheels, front side-impact and front and rear head-curtain airbags, cruise control, AM/FM stereo with single CD, anti-lock brakes, traction control and Dynamic Stability Control (DSC). The Touring model gains leather seating, a power adjustable driver's seat, heated front seats and a retractable cargo cover. The Grand Touring adds high-intensity discharge (HID) headlamps, automatic climate control, body-colored mirrors, chrome door handles and fog lamps.
Most options are bundled into groups, such as the Technology Package that adds DVD-based navigation, a rear backup camera, a Bose Centerpoint Surround Sound System with nine speakers and a six-disc CD/MP3 changer, a power moonroof and Mazda's Advanced Keyless Entry and Start. A less expensive Sun and Sound package includes just the moonroof and Bose audio system. Stand-alone options include a power driver's seat, fog lamps, six-disc CD/MP3 changer, remote engine start, SIRIUS Satellite Radio, auto-dimming rearview mirror with compass and a retractable cargo cover.
The CX-7 is powered by a 244-horsepower, 2.3-liter intercooled and turbocharged Direct Injection Spark Ignition (DISI) engine. Though similar in design to the engine used in the MAZDASPEED6, the CX-7's uses a different turbocharger with a smaller turbine inlet. This design permits more power to be produced at a lower rpm, creating a more linear acceleration curve comparable to one produced by a larger, normally-aspirated V6. In fact, the CX-7's 2.3-liter powerplant displays none of the characteristics inherent with turbocharging, showing no noticeable rush of power as the turbo builds boost with essentially imperceptible turbo lag. Assisting the smooth transfer of power is a six-speed Sport automatic transmission featuring a manual shift mode for a more spirited driving experience.

Pros: "Stylish, Affordable"
Cons: "Not reliable, requires premium fuel"
Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 1
"I have never reviewed a car before, but this car has given me so many problems, I feel the need to review it. I can't believe this car even has decent reviews. This car has had so many recalls and things that should be recalled. I've put over $6000 into it, and there are still problems. I purchased it at 77000 miles. REPAIRS: Over the course of FOUR MONTHS I've had to replace the VVT/Timing Chain at 79000 miles ($1500 repair), valves had sludge, headlamps were burned out on the inside and had to be replaced (dealership quoted me $1400, I did it myself for $300), oil leak ($200), AC compressor stopped working ($1400), airbag lights go on and off (recall just issued but not for my state), and the exterior is plastic junk which falls apart. I've had to replace so many things I can't keep track. CONS: Not reliable - you can look anywhere and you'll find there are lots of problems. Dealership and other mechanics said this car has a lot of issues. Bad gas mileage. Requires 91 Octane premium fuel (That adds up!) PROS: It's stylish. Drives smoothly. Interior is nice. Lots of room. Bottom line: DO NOT buy this car unless you're ready to spend money on it. Mazda has extended the warranty/conducted recalls for so many things on this car because it's junk. Buy a newer model (2009 or newer) of the CX because they didn't repeat all the same problems."

IT had 200k miles on it and never a problem! Mazda's just seem to look good forever! They don't age. My car is so comfy, rides great, looks great, and everyone thinks its brand new. I keep it spotless and waxed ;) Some things this car has that a lot of others, especially of this age, don't have are adjustable headlights, I can open my windows and sunroof with my key, and so much more! BSM is my favorite thing about it. It has saved my butt several times. Driving other cars makes me realize just how awesome mine is!!!! Highly recommend!!!"

"This SUV is not perfect, but close! Style, comfort, handling, economy are all excellent. This SUV drives like a car, with car-like handling and fuel economy. My vehicle has over 50,000 miles and is tight, solid and rattle free. The "non-perfect" element is the engine. It has adequate power, especially at low end, and is fuel efficient. I get 18 to 25 mpg depending on driving trips. But, the engine is harsh, with some vibration at certain RPMs and is noisy, the noise enters the cabin at all speeds. I'm critical, most people will just turn up the radio."

Naomi Watts was spotted dropping her son off at school wearing a pair of MiH's The Bonn skinny jeans in 42 Red. This is the first time we've spotted Naomi in MiH on the blog, we usually see her out in Goldsign.
I hope she tries out more pairs because I think this is a really flattering style for her. We've never spotted her out in a pair of flares or wide legs, so I'd love to see her try out MiH's Marrakesh or even the cropped Casablanca. Buy these jeans from MiH for $196.00.
LOOK BOOK: MiH Spring/Summer 2013
Here is the new look book for the MiH Spring/Summer 2013 collection. You can see a few of the same pieces from our press day a couple of months back, such as the paisley print jeans above, paneled skinny, and the classic blues.
What I like about this look book is the styling. They combined pieces that shouldn't work together in regular life (the look above), but MiH made them work effortlessly together. That shirt is a personal favorite of mine. You can see all of the looks below.
Sienna Miller in MiH Jeans & Tom Sturridge in Jean Machine
Sienna Miller and her fiance Tom Sturridge were both seen out walking around in New York City. I don't often see candids of the two of them together, so this is a great photo!
Sienna wore a pair of MiH Jeans Breathless skinnies in Nep and Tom wore a pair of jeans from MiH's latest men's brand, Jean Machine. It's good to see that they both have the same taste in denim! Buy Sienna's jeans here and Tom's here.
Lana Del Rey in MiH Breathless Skinny Jeans in Nep
It's been a little while since we had a sighting of Lana Del Rey on DenimBlog and it's actually the first time we have spotted her in MiH Jeans too! She was pictured with her boyfriend Barrie James O`Neil while out and about and then at Scotts restaurant in London, England.
Lana wore a pair of MiH Breathless jeans in Nep wash with a pastel green sweater and some moccasin style flats. When it got colder she opted to wear her printed and furry collar jacket with the outfit. I love the Breathless jeans, I own two pairs and I find them to be so flattering, I like the low rise! The denim is quite stiff though so they aren't the most easy wearing jeans unless they are a little bit loose like Lana's.

AbstractThe increased complexity of periscope antennas requires the need for advanced cooling methods capable of reaching 20°C and extracting 150-200 watts of thermal load, while fitting in the tight confines of a periscope base. Current convective and conductive cooling approaches have proved inadequate at dissipating the thermal load generated by the antennas, a problem further complicated by the fact that the antenna radome is a poor thermal conductor. This may lead to the premature failure of heat sensitive components. The typical external radome ambient temperature, to which heat from the periscope base is being rejected, is 50°C. TIAX LLC is proposing the development of a miniature-scale Stirling cycle active cooling system that could well fit in the available confined periscope antenna base space and can provide the required cooling load at the desired temperature. The Stirling cooling cycle is a closed thermodynamic cycle in reverse of a Stirling engine cycle for power generation. Stirling cycle coolers have been used for decades to provide cooling temperatures down to the cryogenic temperature range for various applications.

Arts Painters: Seattle Has An Opening
posted by February 1 at 13:20 PMon
This weekend, I stopped by Crawl Space for the absurdly titled exhibition Centennial (the gallery's been open three years) and met the painter Ori Ornstein, a newish member of the artist-run space having his first show this month.
He's a painter, and a transplant from the East Coast, and he claims there's not much painting in Seattle.
We are about to see a bunch of it: the contemporary Leipzig school written about so fascinatingly in today's Guardian at the Frye Art Museum opening February 17, Mary Henry at Howard House opening tonight, and Ten Painters at Francine Seders opening February 23.
But in a deeper sense, is it true that Seattle is painting-lite?
Anne Mathern and Chad Wentzel, his CS cohorts, say yes on this week's In/Visible podcast. They're planning to fill the gallery one of these months with just two large "painty paintings," as Mathern calls them, largely because, well, it seems to them like nobody else is filling their galleries with painty paintings.
I think I know what Mathern means by "painty painting," and I can think of a lot of artists represented in Seattle who fall under the category: Mary Henry, Joseph Park, Squeak Carnwath, Mark Takamichi Miller, Robert C. Jones, Olivia Britt, Donabelle Casis, Margie Livingston (this year's Betty Bowen Award winner), Brian Murphy, Susan Dory, Michael Schultheis, Matthew Offenbacher, Mark Danielson, Francis Celentano, Juan Alonso, Denzil Hurley, Mike Spafford, Anne Appleby, Joseph Goldberg, Patte Loper, Jaq Chartier, Michael Knutson, Roger Shimomura, Jeffrey Simmons, Susan Dory, Bo Bartlett, Claire Johnson, Nicholas Nyland.
But there is no coherent strain of emerging Seattle painters to fill out the rosters of interested dealers like, say, Billy Howard or Scott Lawrimore, the way a crop of photographers sharing at least some collective concerns has developed, from Tim Roda and Todd Simeone (no longer in Seattle, but represented here) to Anne Mathern, Chris Engman, Isaac Layman, Steve Davis, and Chris Jordan.
Lawrimore Project has thrown its hat into the painting ring for the moment—sort of. Scott Lawrimore has no painters in his stable and this month's LP *Hearts* Painting is comprised of a single painting in an otherwise empty gallery: Michael Linares's "Fuck Duchamp" statement, "pictured" here in a funny non-photograph. (Linares, also, is not a painter.) It's as if Lawrimore were throwing down the gauntlet to local painters: where are you? Why do I have this empty space in my gallery?
The image seems to be a telling one for Seattle painting. Is it here at all? Is it hidden? Is it taboo? (I've heard the criticism of the UW painting department before—can that really be the reason for the paucity in new painting? Why don't any interesting painters come out of the ceramics department, known as it is for churning out grads in any medium but ceramics?)

WEST PALM BEACH -- Two Brinks drivers are accused of stealing thousands from ATM machines on their route after authorities found $1,000 stuffed under a mattress and $4,000 inside a laser printer at one of the men's homes.
Driver Jose Salado told detectives he planned to send $12,000 worth of clothes and medical supplies he bought with the stolen money to family in Cuba. He also had about $3,000 in savings and checking accounts, according to Palm Beach County Sheriff's reports.
Salado said he and driver Deibis Lebrato used a screwdriver to remove the money from automatic teller machines in at least eight separate thefts between June and August. Salado said he gave Lebrato several thousand dollars each time to keep quiet about the crime, reports said.
Salado, 38, talked to investigators Wednesday after he was confronted by Brinks security staff. He has been charged with grand theft and is being held at the Palm Beach County Jail on $15,000 bond.
Lebrato, 30, faces the same charge, but has not been arrested. Sheriff's spokesman Paul Miller said Wednesday authorities believe Lebrato is in Cuba.

Six months of shaky decisions and turmoil came to a head for the U.S. Olympic Committee on Wednesday when its acting CEO said she would step down, bringing more chaos to an organization that was humiliated when Chicago's bid to host the 2016 Games fell flat.
Stephanie Streeter said she would not seek the USOC's CEO job on a permanent basis, and that she would leave in the next five months.
The decision came just five days after Chicago's humbling, first-round exit in a vote by International Olympic Committee members, who ultimately picked Rio de Janeiro. It also happened on the same day leaders of America's Olympic sports organizations said "No" in a 40-0 vote to this question on a survey they conducted: "Do you believe the acting CEO has the ability to be an effective leader of the Olympic movement?"
The United States contributes more money to the Olympics than any other nation, yet the USOC is rife with infighting and turnover, perceived internationally as arrogant, and populated with leaders who are having trouble turning things around.
"I'm incredibly saddened by the developments, which I lay largely at the feet of the USOC, which has clearly lost its way," said NBC Universal Sports and Olympics chairman Dick Ebersol. "It's a combination of people who don't have a full-time commitment to it, too many people who really don't have an understanding of international sports and relationships. I don't believe there will be another Olympics in the U.S. until the USOC really gets its act together."
USOC Chairman Larry Probst conceded that turning around the group's international reputation is not a one- or two-year project. "I'm talking 10, 15, 20 years," he said.
Chicago's elimination in the first round was universally viewed as an embarrassment, and one of the biggest surprises ever handed down by IOC voters. One IOC member, Denis Oswald of Switzerland, went so far as to call it "a defeat for the USOC, not for Chicago."
The USOC will hire a national recruiting firm by the end of the month to search for Streeter's replacement. The next CEO will be the third to sit in that chair in the span of about a year. The latest upheaval began in March when Jim Scherr was forced out after six years of relative stability and success.
Scherr, himself, has been approached by people in the movement to gauge his interest in a return. He acknowledged the small chance of that idea going anywhere but didn't rule out considering it.
"It's possible under the right circumstances," he said.
Ebersol said good candidates would be people with connections to major Olympic sports -- such as swimming, gymnastics, skiing -- with experience in marketing, international relations and the sports world.
Probst, who said he has no plans to step down as chairman, acknowledged some of the USOC's problems.
"We have plenty of good relationships, but the reality is, we don't have the political capital, the leverage, a spot on the IOC executive team," he said. "We need to do work over the long haul to have more of a presence."
In several conversations with The Associated Press in the past few weeks, Streeter made it clear she didn't want to stay on and would announce that after the IOC awarded the 2016 Games. She said she wants to return to the corporate world -- she is a former CEO at Banta Corp. -- though she realizes many people will view her decision as a direct result of the Chicago vote and the increasing calls for change in the USOC leadership.
"I had made this decision prior to the bid and clearly it makes sense to announce it as soon after as possible," she told the AP. "It makes sense to announce it at this time so the USOC has a clean slate when it goes into the search process."
Depending on how the CEO search goes, Streeter could be with the USOC through March 21, which is when the Paralympics end in Vancouver. The Vancouver Olympics are set for Feb. 12-28.
Whether her departure satisfies her critics will almost certainly depend on who the board chooses to replace her. The board also has been criticized as being out of touch with what the majority of the Olympic movement wants.
"This is just a first step," said Steve Penny, president of USA Gymnastics and a key member of the leaders of national governing bodies who answered the questionnaire on Streeter.
That questionnaire was a rough one for the leadership. It consisted of 63 questions, and almost every answer returned something overwhelmingly negative about Probst and Streeter. Streeter had said the NGB criticism was a small but vocal minority, but at the end of the day, the whole group banded together to call for her and Probst's immediate resignations.
"If you don't know what you don't know, you can't really lead from a dynamic vision," said Skip Gilbert, leader of the NGB bosses, speaking to what he called the leadership's lack of knowledge in Olympic areas. "Realistically, today is the day to make that change."
Ebersol, whose efforts have helped bankroll the Olympic movement to the tune of billions of dollars over the years, predicted Chicago losing out on the games will diminish the value of American TV rights by at least 15 to 20 percent, "just because it won't be the same level of advertising" a network could get from an American games.
He expects NBC will still bid, though that wouldn't be an indicator that all is well at the USOC.
"It won't just change from Stephanie Streeter not standing for re-election," he said. "The board has to be seriously re-examined for the fact that it lacks real leadership in all these key sports fields."
Streeter was under intense scrutiny immediately after moving into the job from the board of directors. The switch came as a surprise to many in the Olympic movement, in part because the USOC had been functioning relatively smoothly with Scherr at the helm.
She and Probst claimed the USOC needed a different, more businesslike approach to running things, especially considering the bad economy and the reluctance of some sponsors to re-sign with the USOC after the Beijing Olympics.
There were some successes -- a handful of sponsors did come on board, and the USOC was able to increase funding for Winter Games athletes by one-fifth, partly by exceeding projected budget revenues.
Those successes, however, were barely a blip -- overshadowed by the perceived missteps and criticism.
Her arrival never was accepted by the NGB leaders, who felt blindsided and wondered about the transparency of a move that elevated a volunteer board member into a paid position.
They found more to complain about when the board approved a pay package with a base of $560,000 -- about 30 percent more than what Scherr earned. That only grew louder when the USOC botched the introduction of its TV network and drew criticism from the IOC.
"I think we miscalculated on the network," Streeter said when asked if she had any regrets from her seven months on the job. "We miscalculated the reaction from the IOC and our TV partners at NBC. I still think it's a good idea. In retrospect, I would've altered timing on the announcement."
There was also the complicated IOC-USOC revenue-sharing issue that Streeter and Probst managed to table -- but not solve -- about six months before the 2016 vote. Despite efforts on both sides, the lack of a resolution colors almost everything about how international Olympic leaders relate to the United States. Internationally, the Americans are perceived as taking too much of the money generated by the Olympics.
IOC member Willi Kaltschmitt of Guatemala said the USOC needs to "rethink, reorganize and regroup."
"There are a lot of wounds there," Kaltschmitt said. "It's an accumulation of things. We say 'dead corpses in the road.'"

Why do I get the feeling Eyman won't be the one doing that ...
i like it i like it...
i would add a provision that the homeowner gives up the right to sue anyone if they are 90 days past due on their mortgage.
I'd like to hear an explanation, preferrably from Senator Weinstein but I'll settle from you Josh since you're regurgitating his talking points, explaining how it is that consumers can't sue builders. SENATOR WEINSTEIN HIMSELF SUED HIS BUILDER, AND THEY SETTLED.
It is an outright LIE to say builders can't be sued. Homeowners have a number of options for suing their builder...they can sue their builder for breach of contract (failure to perform in a workmanlike manner), they can sue under the consumer protection act, they can sue under product liability, they can sue under the implied warranty of habitability (deviation from fundamental aspects of the building code), they can sue under any available third party warranties, or they can follow what is known as the "cure" procedure, which gives the builder an opportunity to fix a problem before a suit is filed.
So there you have it, SIX different ways a home buyer can sue their builder. I wonder which one Weinstein used to sue his?
TValleyGirl sounds an awful lot like an astroturf troll.
Is the Republican party in this state a wholly owned subsidiary of the BIAW? Sheesh.
Of course, sloggers' kneejerk modus operandi is to try and discredit anyone who dares to espouse a viewpoint that differs from the slog party line.
Yet I notice there is no response to my post exposing the lie being perpetuated by Weinstein and Feit. Those pesky facts can be a real inconvenience, much easier to try to attack and discredit the poster.
josh seems to have a different sort of ethics, and that's going easy. there's countless times where he'll ignore comment question or stock up some weird counter alibi of a post to follow later. but it's obvious he cares LITTLE about what WE THE CONSUMERS OF SLOG think. just as long as you keep coming back to read his cute opinion. going hard, i leave it that, he's a weasly cunt.
TValleyGirl: why so hostile? Geez, you give less than 30 minutes before bitching that Josh hasn't responded to your questions.
If you look at the analysis of last year's bill, you'll see some answers to your questions. Reasons why the implied warranty of habitability may not apply. This bill basically makes a statutory implied warranty of habitability.
Of course, YOU would.
And look out @8, facts just make the trolls angry.
But, while we're at it:
It's true SOME new home purchasers CAN sue the builder for shoddy workmanship, assuming of course the "warranty" they signed hasn't already exempted the specific defect from liability, which is fairly common.
In addition, many warranties offered in WA are executed through a company called Residential Warranty Co. (RWC) out of Harrisburgh, PA, which is notorious for placing all sorts of limitations in their warranties. A few examples: all unresolved warranty issues must be resolved through mandatory, binding arbitration, paid for by the purchaser before the matter is presented to the arbitration service; thus, no legal ability to file a lawsuit against the builder for breach of warranty. In addition, if your builder defaults on their warranty obligations, the purchaser must pay a fee of anywhere between $250 and $500 before the warranty administrator will process any complaint; consequential or incidental damages aren't covered. So, if your roof caves in while you're out of town, the warranty only covers repairs to the structure; you get nothing for any damage to goods or property caused by the failure itself. And that doesn't even begin to cover the long list of "exceptions" that the builder isn't liable for after the first two years - of a supposedly 10 year "warranty".
A recent survey of the local housing market conducted by Criterion Engineers, one of the nation's leading housing inspection companies indicated a whopping 17% of all new homes built in WA in 2006 had some sort of major structural defect, including roof problems, inadequate framing, and faulty foundations among others.
Really, who needs some dumb old "Homebuyers' Bill of Rights" in this state? It'll just put all those honest, hard-working, pure-as-the-driven-snow home builders out of business - and that's BAD, right?
So, yeah TValleyGirl, about all those damnable lies being thrown about - you should look into that, eh?
Who's bankrolling the initiative?
This bill serves only one real purpose: to give more work to Plaintiff's attorneys. Right now, two parties (a homeowner and a builder) can enter into whatever contract they chose to. If either party breaches that contract, the non breaching party can sue for breach of contract.
Now, let's say that the this first homeowner sells the house to second homeowner. If the house turns out to have problems, this second homeowner is not allowed to sue the original builder because they never had contract together. The whole point of this bill is to change that. Not only will Plaintiff's attorneys be able to represent the first homeowners (which are a dwindling population), they will now be able to represent these later generation homeowners, opening up a whole new world of clients.
This bill is wrong because it destroys our freedom to contract. Under this bill, it doesn't matter what kind of agreement was reached between the builder and the first homeowner because this bill says a second homeowner can sue the builder even if they never breach the contract. Imagine if you could be sued for every agreement you entered into even if you never violated it?
of course i would! people have to pay their mortgage, that legally binding contract they signed that states they will pay a predetermined amount of money or else, and they will do this for some amount of time.
people that don't pay their mortgage should be sued for breach of contract.
Fuck the BIAW. The fact that they're against it is enough of a reason to support it.
Even by your standards Bellevue, that's one brilliant piece of idiotic logic.
On what legal grounds would a lender sue for breach of contract, when there are numerous legal remedies for recovery of losses written into the mortage itself? They can't just not foreclose on the property for instance, THEN claim breach, because they wouldn't have exhausted the remedies already available to them.
Dragging a contract dispute through the courts is expensive - gotta pay them lawyers - while foreclosure is a much quicker, and from a legal standpoint, more efficient means of remedy. That's why it's written into the mortgage contract in the first place.
Greg @13 - yeah, good call on that.

How do I configure RRAS to use a differnet network segment than my local network?
Is it possible to change the IP Address for the Internal network interface on RRAS? And if so how do I do it? I would like my VPN address range to be different than my local network.
(I am having problems with some machines trying to use this internal IP address for services.)
This is a Windows Home Server (Windows 2003) with SQLExpress 2005, IIS, RRAS for VPN support.
When trying to connect to connect to the SQL service soem of my workstation try to use the "Internal" interface instead of the "Local Area Connection" interface.
Local network is 192.168.2.0/24 I would like the VPN to be 192.168.254.0/24

Hiya guys,
I like the idea of caching, but I'd like it even more if every user would read the same cached files and thus always benefit from the speed increases.
It seems the only reason this *isn't* the case by default is because logged-in users get a pre-filled comment form. But what if this doesn't matter? What if I was happy for all users to see a standard log-in frm, seeing as I don't allow registrations?
If anyone knows of a code edit or something I could do to achieve this that'd be great. All I basically want is for every user to generate and see super-cached files (my comment form theme makes no distinction between whether someone is logged in or not).

I need to be able to be sure that the machine cannot be interfered with whilst I am away, but at the same time the screen should be able to be seen, to see check progress.
The closest thing I have found is KeyFreeze, but it does not require a password to unlock, which is required here.
Does anybody know of such a thing?

Latin America includes more than 40 countries and possessions, and its population of 570 million has an important representation of the three main human races. The area is experiencing an economic improvement, progressively bringing the inborn errors of metabolism (IEM) to a higher level among health priorities. Challenges to the progress of the IEM field include the huge disparities, the high prevalence of malnutrition and infections, the co-existence of very different models of public health services, the unstable socio-economic and political conditions, and the difficulties in integrating the countries. However, a rapidly changing social and economic environment is presenting many opportunities to the IEM field, like the improvements in infrastructure, the concentration of the population in urban areas, the continuous growth of neonatal screening, the use of filter paper samples, the availability of internet communication, and the interest in IEM by the new population medical genetics discipline. Analyzing this picture, several proposals are presented, such as the development of activities of provision of health services, education and research as an integrated package, the increase in training of human resources, the expansion of access to diagnostic tests, and the use the neonatal screening framework to expand the provision of services. In a continent with few IEM centers, there is a major need for such groups to work in collaboration, complementing each other's capabilities, providing training of human resources, and developing joint projects. The integration of these groups into a large transnational network of reference centers would be a major task for the coming years.

used an oreck iron man for four years. loved it but do not want to pay $300.00 again. i'm very satisfied with this product and paid less-than a third of orecks comparable canister. every bit as powerful as oreck. love the floor tool w rubber back-wheels. if the hose had been a foot longer and the cord six-feet longer, i would have rated it 5 stars.
I bought it at a garage sale an I love it use it for ever thing.I'm a house cleaner an I take it with me everyday.
Motor seems ok, but all made of extremely CHEAP plastic. This thing will not last at all!
