For Muslim women who are wearing hijab, hoping to put it on, thinking of taking it off or already have, watching the media put their spin on hijab is surreal. Class, politics, oppression, suppression, economic status, religious superiority, intellectual inferiority, modesty, shame, pride—it's all been said. The more layers are piled on, the more complicated hijab seems.So, why do you wear that scarf?I've been asked that question a hundred times, but sometimes still fumble for an a … [Read more...]

COLUMBIA, Ky. -- A total of 30
rising high school freshmen from 16 Kentucky counties spent three
days at Lindsey Wilson College this week to get an early taste of
college life.
The students were among more 120 Kentucky students
selected to Rogers
Explorers. Sponsored by the Somerset-based Center for Rural
Development, the Rogers Explorers program exposes rising
ninth-grade students to science, mathematics and
While at the liberal arts college from Sunday
through Tuesday, the Rogers Explorers took classes in
communication, energy and science from Lindsey Wilson professors;

In this gripping adventure - the first V.I. Warshawski mystery - America's top private eye is tossed into a dangerous adventure when a seemingly straightforward assignment becomes complicated and deadly.
Hired by a man who calls himself John Thayer, V.I.'s assignment is to find Thayer's son Peter's missing girlfriend. But when V.I. finds young Peter's dead body instead, her client disappears. Her efforts to track down her client and learn his true identity take her deep into a labyrinth of fraud and violence.
By the time V.I. figures out the answers she is in a race to find the missing young woman - before the murderers do.

"Back to the Beginning"
Many of us have been reading/listening to Ms. Paretsky' novels for years. It was great to be able to go back and hear it all from the beginning for the first time. Great book and great listen. Thanks.
"Early Paretsky"
I enjoyed this but Sara's books have gotten better over time<br/>I
Yes, not as good as others but good
"Edge of my seat"
I really enjoyed this. It had me on the edge of my seat all the way through. Loved Ericksen's performance as always. She's one of my favorite narrators. This is the first of Paretsky's books I've gotten to and it won't be the last. I just wish audible had them all.
"Very Enjoyable!"
Thought it was a
Although the story was simple and direct it was exactly what I was looking for. Relaxing and to the point. No brain surgery required!
I love discovering new stories while driving or working in the barn, reading voraciously since I could walk. There is no genre, just magic
"I love narrator Susan Erickson - Great Series"
I took a shot at this writer ONLY because of the narrator. I have found that Susan Erickson has a great way of building a story especially if the story line is exceptional. I Loved this book and am now on #6 with plans to download ALL of them. Great story line.
LOVE HER and this compares very well with RD Robb The Eve Dallas Series which I am an avid fan of.
"Like watching an 80s Detective Show"
The story is good, and of course Susan Erickson's performance is amazing as usual. One has to remember that this book was written in the 1980s, and it really feels like watching an old 80s detective show.
With that in mind, since I actually remember the 1980s firsthand, it is interesting to notice how attitudes and technology have changed. It's funny to think that it wasn't that long ago, when people's lives could be put in danger if you actually left home so that you missed a call. Of course there is also the rampant misogyny at odds with changing attitudes and values, that were indicative of the era.
I plan to listen to more of the serious, and it will be interesting to see how the characters progress if the series keeps up with the contemporary timeframe of when each book was written.
"Love V.I. Warshawski"
I have read all the Sara Paretsky V.I. Warshawski books. I am going through the series again a combination of reading and audiobooks. I love the lead, she is a rich character and could be my friend. This series is a little hard to listen to as to the richness of the story. Don't multi-task. Just listen and enjoy. I found myself going back in the narration because I was lightly listening and got lost (this is where listening/reading via Whispersync helped.)
Susan Ericksen is one of my favorite narrators. It's pretty much guaranteed that I will enjoy the book if she is narrating.
"well done"
story is great. It leaves you guessing right to the end. highly recommend it. audio is worth it.
"Bad Story, Awful Reading"
Ok, the story is silly. Lots of old detective novels have thin plots and unbelievable characters. You sort of know that going in if you're buying Paretsky's early stories. But the narration by Susan Ericksen is horrendous. Breathless, belligerent, every word is out of place. It's like listening to one of those satirical William Shatner acting classes where he over-emphasises every word. After an hour of this dreck, I just had to stop the madness and move on to another book.
Not written the book.
Never. Not even if I was being water-boarded.
Well, all of them.
Can I have a refund?
"Great woman detective!"
V.I. Warshawski is a great character. She is such a smart aleck that she had me chuckling aloud at times. I can appreciate her sarcasm. Fantastic narration by Susan Ericksen, as always. Although I had to keep reminding my self at the beginning that I wasn't listening to an Eve Dallas story. The only thing that annoyed me as I listened was the overuse of the characters' names during conversations. I hope this was a first time author mishap that is corrected as the series goes on. I can't wait to listen to the next in the series.

Justin Bieber covers 'Teen Vogue'
Listen to Justin Bieber on iHeartRadio
When it comes to dealing with the media, Justin Bieber says he's taking a page out of Jay-Z's playbook. In an interview with "Teen Vogue," the pop star says he doesn't feel the "need to address every speculation" out there about his personal life. He used the example of the hip-hop mogul's beef with Cam'ron, pointing out that Jay "didn't even respond," simply because "he's Jay-Z."
The Biebs graces the cover of the teen fashion magazine in a white tank top, insisting that he knows who he is and is "very much in control." The interview echoes much of what he's said on the subject of media attention in the past.
In an interview with "Us Weekly" last week, Bieber also said that sometimes he feels like unloading on Twitter, but realizes if someone disses him, he's only "going to make this person way more famous by tweeting them."
Meanwhile, his manager Scooter Braun has announced that Bieber has just penned a track for British boy band The Wanted. Bieber is currently in Europe on his "Believe" tour.

Antitrust and trade lawyers have experience with regulations governing what businesses can and cannot do in attempting to gain a competitive edge. Antitrust laws prohibit one company from controlling or monopolizing the market for goods or services. A famous example is the government's case against Microsoft for allegedly bundling its Internet Explorer web browser with Windows software in an attempt to dominate the Internet browser market space. Trade laws deal with practices like stealing proprietary data or mailing lists, spreading false rumors about a product, or pricing a product below cost to lure another company's customers. Claims of unfair competition (gaining customers at the expense of a competitor) can be expensive for everyone involved. Antitrust and trade attorneys can defend you against these claims, or provide support if you are the victim of unfair competition.

NASA Rover Discovers New Evidence of Water on Mars

Findings collected by the Mars rover Spirit gets scientists excited for what other secrets the Red Planet may hide
Scientists have conducted a lot of research to discover signs of water and possible life on Mars. A recent discovery by a NASA rover has created excitement in the scientific community: the Mars rover Spirit collected soil samples that makes scientists strongly believe Mars was once wet.
The rover found some Martian soil with high levels of silica, which needs water to crystalize. Basic chemical analysis on the soil revealed the soil composition contained up to 90 percent silica. This soil, located in Gusev Crater, is the strongest evidence that water, at some point in the planet's history, existed.
Scientists are
unsure how the silica deposit in the crater originally formed
. The most likely theory is that soil mixed with acid vapors, created by volcanic activity, along with a strong presence of water. Another popular idea is that the silica was created from water from a hot spring.
Spirit's discovery "reinforces the fact that significant amounts of water were present in Mars' past, which continues to spur the hope that we can show that Mars was once habitable and possibly supported life," said Doug McCuistion, NASA Mars exploration program director.
Oddly enough, the silica discovery happened due to a Spirit mechanical problem. The bright patches of silica-rich soil were discovered when one of the rover's wheels dragged through the topsoil, revealing the bright colored silica-soil underneath.
Scientists are anxious to continue their research to discover what else is on the Red Planet. Research indicates ice under the Martian surface
varies in depth
from location to location.
Late last year, NASA researchers used the Mars Global Surveyor to discover
water flowed recently
on the Red Planet.
"We are going to continue to work with them to make sure they understand the reality of the Internet. A lot of these people don't have Ph.Ds, and they don't have a degree in computer science." -- RIM co-CEO Michael Lazaridis

The 2-year-old son of National Football League's Most Valuable Player Adrian Peterson died on Friday after being allegedly assaulted by his mother's boyfriend in Sioux Falls, local media in Minnesota and police in South Dakota reported.
Sioux Falls police spokesman Sam Clemens said the boy died after he suffered injuries doctors believe were caused by child abuse.
The Minneapolis Star Tribune newspaper reported on Friday that Nelson Peterson, Adrian's father, confirmed that the star running back's son was assaulted, allegedly by the mother's boyfriend. The paper reported that the child and his mother live in Sioux Falls, according to Nelson Peterson.
After practice on Friday, the Minnesota Vikings running back said in videotaped remarks that he would not take questions about the incident and asked for his privacy to be respected.
Earlier on Friday in South Dakota, officials held a news conference to announce that a 27-year-old man had been charged with aggravated battery and aggravated assault on accusations of abusing a 2-year-old boy, who was not identified.
Clemens said the man, Joseph Patterson, will face additional charges.

Still, both departments say the time is near for new facilities. The current Salt Lake City police crime lab is aging and inefficient, according to officials, and the state crime lab is bogged with a backlog of cases streaming in from some 140 agencies.
Salt Lake City Deputy Police Chief Tim Doubt said the departments need the space for a crime lab and evidence center, and they are working toward a joint proposal.
"We do have the square footage numbers pretty well nailed down, and we know the functions we want in those buildings," Doubt said. "Now we have to get all the specialized equipment, specialized plumbing and stuff like that."
Doubt said in a recent interview that after voters turned down a $192 million bond in 2007 for the city's new Public Safety Building, the city scaled back the request and cut out plans for a new crime lab, among other facilities. Voters in 2009 passed a $125 million bond for the new building, set for completion early this summer.
The draft study now in city officials' hands cost Salt Lake about $89,000, with West Valley paying $49,440, according to city documents. It's unclear how the cities would split funding for the building, but the groups say the project is still in the planning phase.
West Valley City Mayor Mike Winder said the city would consider seeking federal funding for part or all of the project.
"We're talking with the federal delegation about some support for this," Winder said. "This would fill an important need for both of our cities in helping us process cases quicker."
West Valley City Deputy Police Chief Mike Powell said the idea is for better, speedier investigations from both departments. He wouldn't go into details about what the department wants included in the project.
"Our thoughts and ideas were if we were to combine and work together with Salt Lake City … then we would be able to better serve both the communities," Powell said.
Salt Lake will leave its crime lab and forensic employees, some of whom perform investigative functions, in their current office for the foreseeable future, while the rest of the department moves into the new public safety building.
Then the employees will await final plans set for completion late this summer and the city will look for a way to pay for another new building, in conjunction with West Valley City.
"The study is complete up to the level of a draft," said Jim McClaren, senior principal at Arizona-based McClaren, Wilson and Lawrie Inc., which designed the Public Safety Building and studied the proposed crime lab.
McClaren's company specializes in public safety and other government buildings nationwide. Many of the new projects, including the Public Safety Building in Salt Lake, are considered environmentally friendly.
The departments and McClaren will now work with Salt Lake-based MOCA Systems on room-by-room design and budgeting for the proposal.
Doubt said the department has evidence in three buildings in the capital city, including its headquarters downtown. Leaving the forensic employees in the old headquarters would be a bad move, he said.
"I still have to completely heat this whole building. That's the urgency. We're really throwing money away just leaving [the evidence and crime lab] here," Doubt said, adding that heating costs for the building are significant.
Salt Lake doesn't have a DNA unit in its crime lab and would like to add it into the proposed new facility. For investigative services it can't do on its own, it uses outside labs like the state Department of Public Safety or private contractors like Sorenson Forensics in Salt Lake.
"The reason we want to do a lab is so we don't have to pay Sorenson the exorbitant fees they charge us," Doubt said.
After the proposed design is completed the groups set a goal for Labor Day the departments will work with city councils to make plans for funding the proposal.

Crime lab workload
Salt Lake City's crime lab handles everything from crime-scene processing to marijuana testing and firearms identification.
Last year, the lab fielded 8,778 callouts and 864 requests for lab exams.
The state crime lab, which serves 140 agencies, processes about 10,000 pieces of evidence annually. The backlog means a slow turnaround for work that doesn't involve priority violent felony cases.

The following instructions were taken from General Instructions: For use with All DOM REL Forms (Maryland Department of Family Administration, Administrative Office of the Courts). They have been modified to reflect Montgomery County Circuit Court requirements. Please read these instructions before you file your papers.

What Happens If Service Is Not Achieved?
What Happens If Service Is Achieved?
What If I Still Have Questions After Reading Step-by-Step Instructions for Self-Representing?
For an online resource for self-help, selfhelpsupport.org can be a valuable source of information to an individual who is representing him/herself.
Do I Need a Lawyer?
The answer is probably YES and particularly so if:
- the case is disputed or the other side has a lawyer;
- you cannot locate the other side to serve him or her with your papers;
- this is a divorce case and either you or your spouse has a house, a pension or a large amount of property or income. (Note: Even if it is a friendly divorce, you SHOULD talk to a lawyer before you sign any settlement papers or file anything in court.);
- alimony, custody, visitation or child support is disputed;
- paternity is disputed; or
- you have been married for close to ten years, which may entitle you to certain benefits.
You may also need a lawyer if, after reading these instructions, you feel unable to file your case. You can consult with a lawyer at any time during the course of your case, BUT hiring a lawyer at the last minute usually will not be grounds for a postponement and many lawyers will not take a case at the last minute.
Where Can I Find Legal Services?
In simple, uncontested cases, the Family Law Self Help Center (located in the South Tower 1st floor, room 1500 of the Circuit Court) and the Legal Forms Helpline (1-800-818-9888 and 1-877-293-2507 (Spanish)) provide free assistance with the forms. For information on how to find a lawyer, call the Lawyer Referral Service at (301) 279-9100.
NOTE: The Clerk of the Court or other court representative cannot provide legal advice and cannot assist you in the selection of the proper form(s) or aid you in completing the form(s).
Where Can I Find Forms?
Domestic Relations Forms (Dom. Rel. Forms) are available for free at the Family Department Window located on the 1st floor (South Tower 1st floor, Room 1460) of the Montgomery County Circuit Court. They are also available online in English and Spanish through the Maryland Department of Family Administration's website.
Where Should I File My Forms?
All family law cases are filed in the Circuit Court except for a Petition for Protection from Domestic Violence which can be filed in the Circuit Court or District Court. There are Circuit Courts and District Courts in Baltimore City and all counties of the state. Please make sure that you file in the proper Court. Filing in the wrong court can result in dismissal of your case.
How Do I Start?
Read and follow the instructions below to start your case.
- The Clerk's Office cannot assist you in the selection of the proper form (Dom.Rel.Forms) or aid you in the completion of forms.
- There are instructions to help you complete the forms. Read the forms and instructions carefully before you start filling out the forms.
- Complete each form you need to start or to answer the case.
- Make sure all names and addresses are correct, and consistent throughout the forms.
- If you do not have an address for the other side and have done everything you can to find the address, call the Legal Forms Helpline (1-800-818-9888) to see if resources are available in your county to assist you.
- You MUST file a Civil-Domestic Case Information Report in addition to the Dom.Rel.Forms. Check each box that you think applies to your case and how you think the case should be scheduled.
- File the completed forms with the Clerk of Court. You should make at least 2 copies of your papers when you are filing your case: the original for the court, one for the other side, and one for yourself.
- All papers you file with the court must also be served on the other side.
What if I am Filing a Complaint, Petition, or Motion?
If you are filing a Complaint, Petition, or Motion, you have some choices:
- A divorce case MUST be filed in the county where you live or where the other side lives or works.
- A case involving custody, visitation, child support or contempt usually should be filed in the jurisdiction where a divorce has been filed or granted, but can sometimes be filed where the child or either parent lives.
If there is an earlier case filed between you and the other side in one county, you may be required to file your current case/request in that county. However, there are circumstances that may allow a change of filing location. This is a situation that probably requires a lawyer's assistance.
Where Do I File an Answer?
You must file in the county where the Complaint, Petition, or Motion was filed. If you believe the other side filed in the wrong county, you can ask the court to move the case to the appropriate county. This is a situation that requires a lawyer's assistance.
What Filing Fees will I have to Pay?
The following fees must be paid at the time of filing in order for your case to be processed:
- Original Complaints or Petitions to Modify Orders entered by another Court: $135
- Contempt Petitions: $25
- Petitions to Modify a Montgomery County Order: $25 each
The Court may decide that you don't have to pay these fees, in some cases, because you can't afford to pay or because of hardship. You may not have to pay other costs and fees depending upon the financial circumstances of the parties. To apply for a WAIVER OF PREPAYMENT OF FILING FEES, file Dom. Rel. Form 32 at the time you file your papers.
What Is Service and How Do I Serve Someone?
Service is making certain the other side receives a copy of the papers you are filing. Service must be accomplished on the other side as described below or your case cannot go forward. YOU CANNOT SERVE THE OTHER SIDE YOURSELF.
How Do I Serve the Other Side With a Complaint, Petition Or Motion?
The Court will issue a Writ of Summons; you must make sure that the Writ of Summons is attached to a copy of the Complaint, Petition, or Motion. These papers must be served on the other side along with any other forms you have filed, such as a Domestic Case Information Report or a Financial Statement. Service can be made one of several ways:
- Sheriff
- Private Process
- Certified Mail
Whichever method you choose, proof that the other side was served must be filed with the court. A person can be served at home, at work, or anywhere else the person happens to be.
Service by Sheriff
You can have the Sheriff's Office serve the other side if he/she lives in Montgomery County.
- Take your papers to the Sheriff's Office on the "T" level of the Montgomery County Circuit Court
- Pay a $40 service fee
- Check with the Clerk to see if the other side has been served since the sheriff will send the clerk a "return of service" to prove the sheriff served the papers
Service By Private Process
There are two ways to serve someone by private process:
(1) By a private process serving company for a fee. This method is often fast and is also good if the other side is hard to locate.
- Ask the Clerk of Court to give you back the Writ of Summons and the other papers to be served
- Give the process server the Affidavit of Service (Dom.Rel.Form 55) and the papers to be served. Ask the process server to return the completed Affidavit of Service to you once the other side is served. File the completed Affidavit with a copy of the Writ of Summons attached with the Clerk of Court
(2) By an adult over the age of 18. This is an inexpensive way to serve someone. THE PRIVATE PROCESS SERVER CANNOT BE YOU. You CANNOT serve the papers yourself.
- The adult serving the papers must hand deliver the papers directly to the other side. The papers can also be left at the other party's address with anyone of suitable age and discretion, who is also a resident at that address
- Have the person who served the other side fill out an Affidavit of Service (Dom. Rel.Form 55) completely
- File the Affidavit, with a copy of the Writ of Summons attached, with the Clerk of Court to prove the other side was served
Service by Certified Mail (Restricted Delivery And Return Receipt Requested)
This is a good method of service if the other side lives far from you. It does require that the other side accept the papers and personally sign the post office receipt card (green card).
- Have someone other than you take the papers to the Post Office and follow the instructions for mailing by certified mail, restricted delivery, return receipt requested.
- Have the person who mailed the papers fill out an Affidavit (Dom.Rel.Form 56). If the other side receives the papers, the receipt (green card) will be returned to you with the other side's signature.
- Attach the original receipt (green card) and a copy of the Writ of Summons to the completed Affidavit, and file the Affidavit with the Clerk of Court as proof that the other side received the papers.
- If the receipt (green card) is returned with the wrong signature or if the entire envelope comes back undelivered, you will need to make another attempt at service or see an attorney.
What Happens If Service Is Not Achieved (not successfully completed)?
There may have to be several attempts to serve the other side by using different methods. A Writ of Summons is only good for 60 days. You will have to ask the Clerk of Court in writing to issue a new Writ of Summons if the other side has not been served within 60 days. If several attempts to serve the other side have been unsuccessful you will probably need an attorney.
What Happens If Service Is Achieved (successfully completed)?
The other party has to file an answer within a specified time defined as follows:
|If your spouse is served:
|Your spouse should answer within:
|In Maryland
|30 days after service
|In another state
|60 days after service
|Outside the United States
|90 days after service
If your spouse has not filed an answer by the required time, file a Request for Order of Default (Dom.Rel. 54).
How Do I Serve the Other Side with my Answer to a Complaint, Petition or Motion?
You MUST mail a copy of the Answer and a copy of everything you are filing to the other side.
- Fill in the Certificate of Service at the bottom of the Answer. Do not forget to file your Answer with the Clerk of Court.
- Mail your papers. If you are serving a Counterclaim with your Answer, you may serve the Counterclaim (including all other Dom. Rel. Forms you have attached to the Counterclaim) by mailing copies of everything to the other side regular first class mail, postage prepaid.
- File your papers. Fill in the Certificate of Service at the bottom of the Counterclaim. Do not forget to file the original Counterclaim and all of the forms attached to the Counterclaim with the Clerk of Court.
How Do I Get A Hearing Date?
A hearing date is automatically scheduled in Montgomery County when you file an Affidavit of Service, when the Sheriff files a Return of Service, or when the other party files an Answer. To make sure that you get all notices and papers in your case, always update the Clerk of Court, and the other side, with your current mailing address. Notify the Clerk of Court and the other side immediately in writing if you move.
If you have to miss your court date because of an emergency, call the Family Magistrates department (240-777-9054) BEFORE you are scheduled to be in court.
Before the day your case is scheduled:
- Make sure all documents or other evidence, such as pay stubs or pictures, are in order and make extra copies for the court and the other side.
- If divorce is an issue before the Court or Family Magistrate at the hearing, you must also have at least one witness, other than yourself, to corroborate your grounds for divorce (i.e., lived separate and apart from spouse without an intimate sexual relationship for one year). Make sure that the witness knows when he/she needs to come to Court, how to find the court or hearing room, and what he/she is expected to do during the court proceeding. No divorce will be granted without a corroborating witness. Your spouse cannot be the corroborating witness.
On the day your case is scheduled:
- Make sure you come to the Circuit Court (Circuit Court, 50 Maryland Ave., Rockville, Maryland) early.
- Check the television monitor on the 2nd floor for the location of the courtroom or hearing room where your case is assigned. If your case is not listed, check with the Assignment Office on the 1st floor.
- Upon arrival at the courtroom or hearing room, check in with court personnel. If you are not in the courtroom or hearing room when your case is called, your case could be thrown out or the court could rule in favor of the other side.
- Check if your documents or other evidence, as well as copies for the Court and the other party are with you and are in order.
- If divorce is an issue before the Court or Family Magistrate at the hearing, your witness(es) must corroborate your grounds for divorce. The other side will also have a chance to tell their story and can present the same kinds of evidence. Both sides will have a chance to cross-examine the other side and the other side's witnesses.
- It is important to remember that a Family Magistrate's recommendation is not a court order. A court order must be prepared restating the Family Magistrate's recommendation and signed by a judge to be enforceable.

Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi has issued an emergency ruling that substances containing MDPV (Methylenedioxypyrova-lerone), commonly known as "bath salts," have been added to the state's schedule of controlled substances.
"Due to the violent nature of the side effects involved in taking these drugs, the emergency measures will provide law enforcement with the tools necessary to take this dangerous substance off the shelves and protect the abusers from themselves as well as others," she said in issuing the order on Jan. 26.

The Tragic Diary of a Lunar Rover, and Other NewsBy Dan Piepenbring
- "My masters discovered something abnormal with my mechanical control system … I might not survive this lunar night … I am not fearful … Goodnight, Earth … Goodnight, humanity." In the heartrending tradition of David Bowie's "Space Oddity," a Chinese lunar rover has live-blogged its own death.
- Meanwhile, in Russia, a man was stabbed to death for having declared, to a very fervid admirer of verse, that "the only real literature is prose."
- There now exists a digital version of the Gough map, "one of the earliest maps to show Britain in a geographically recognizable form." It dates between 1355 and 1366, when roads were a novelty. (Not that they aren't today.)
- If you'd planned on watching the Super Bowl "just for the ads," you might be able to skip the game entirely: you can watch many of the ads ahead of time, because Capitalism Cares™. Now get out there and shop!

Lenovo's Accidental Damage Protection¹ gives you the peace of mind to know your investment and budget are protected from the hassles of unexpected repairs and expenses. It covers accidents beyond the system warranty and protects your notebook or tablet² PC from non-warranted operational or structural failures incurred under normal operating conditions.
Why Accidental Damage Protection (ADP)?
Here are some factors to consider:
- • IT Departments don't have to purchase and manage spare inventory to fix damaged PCs.
- • Lenovo's comprehensive diagnostic tools can identify hidden damage that may have otherwise gone untreated.
- • International repair centers with in-country language support for coverage when and where you need it.
- • Based on a sample of Lenovo claims, ADP can save, on average, 28%³ versus the typical cost of notebook repair, and 75 - 80% for tablets.
- • Typical replacement costs for commonly damaged components:
|Component To Be Repaired
|Typical Repair Cost
|System Board
|Up to $500
|DVD Drive
|Hard Disk Drive
|Minor Damage to Tablet
|Table Replacement of multiple parts³
|Up to $600
|LCD Display
With a single, predictable upfront investment, you can decrease downtime, increase productivity, and accurately predict and budget service costs for the year. Depending on the number of systems covered over the life of the installed base, you could save significantly on unplanned repair expenses.
What's Typically Covered?
Accidental drops, spills, bumps, and structural failures incurred under normal operating conditions or handling, electrical surges and damage to the integrated LCD screen.
- • Your system accidentally slips off the table and the LCD screen cracks.
- • An electrical surge causes significant damage to your PC's hardware during a lightning storm.
- • The coffee spills on the keyboard and the extent of damage is unknown.
What's Not Covered?
Cosmetic damage, theft, equipment loss or failures due to usage outside of normal operating conditions. Any data loss or interruption of business. Damage to peripherals or third-party products, even if sold by Lenovo.
- • The outer case cracks but your system still operates effectively.
- • You've left your PC behind on the subway.
- • The system is used in the rain, and you lose an entire day of productivity because your PC no longer functions.

I'm not a fan of soccer (urm I mean football). I'm more of a Rugby gal myself. But on Saturday I along with 100+ fans played sardines in a small pub and jostled for the best viewing position in front of one of the handful of TVs to watch the European Cup game. The pub erupted when England scored the winning penalty shot. I had not seen so many grown men scream, dance and cry with joy at the same time. The festive attitude spilled on to the streets, trains, tube and buses across London (and dare I say England?). We had just watched history being made. On that night, Chelsea achieved what many had thought was the impossible.
I like seeing the impossible made possible. I guess it's because once you see footage of the moon landing, nothing seems out of reach. Obviously others thought the same thing. Looking back at my life I remember smiling with awe as a child when I saw a Concorde plane sitting on a runway at Heathrow as my plane inched by, as I watched footage of the first shuttle take off successfully and as I saw the news coverage of the peace accord between Egypt and Israel. Anything is possible.
And that's something that the design engineering team at Bronswerk Heat Transfer clearly believes in.
Bronswerk Heat Transfer is very well known for their high-capacity air-cooled coolers that are widely used in the energy industry. The engineering team wanted to solve a rather hairy problem. Fans used inside a gas- or oil-field cooling system are large. They can be up to 33 ft in diameter. Depending on the application you may need a dozen or even hundreds of fans. Aside from the energy consumption (to run these fans) you also need to worry about the noise pollution impact. Now the fans for these types of applications usually deliver a maximum efficiency of about 50%. So the million dollar question was – can efficiency be increased to 80% with less noise, less energy consumption and reduced operational cost?
The team decided to try a few new concepts and to use CFD to validate the results. The team at Bronswerk have been using the Creo Parametric (formerly Pro/ENGINEER) embedded CFD solution named FloEFD for a few years and trust the results. Mr. Guus Bertels, the Associate Director of Advanced Design and Analysis at Bronswerk had this to say about their use of CFD "over the past few years, we have used both CFD tools and physical measurements to characterize the behavior–particularly the aerodynamics–of large air-cooled cooling systems. We have learned that concurrent CFD often can produce data that would be impossible to acquire with measurements because of physical constraints, the Heisenberg principle and other factors."
The team decided that solving the problem was really a system-level effort that involved redesigning the fan blade configuration, the inlet/outlet architecture as well as other parts. The design process was quite comprehensive and you can learn more about it by following this link. Their new fan called the Whizz-Wheel has broken every record and the cooling system based on it is fast breaking all industry records for energy efficiency, noise reduction and weight savings. "The new Bronswerk cooling solution includes fans and housings that take their technology cues from gas turbines, aircraft wings, and a generous helping of homegrown creativity. The practicality of these creative touches was validated quickly and accurately with CFD. In addition to their purely quantitative output, the CFD simulations enabled us to explore bold ideas–without risking project budgets and schedules" said Mr. Bertels. Now that sounds like a perfect recipe for making the impossible possible and achieving a healthy Return on Investment (ROI) for simulation to boot.
Until next time,

Motorcycle Dealer Phoenix – Find the best dealer in Phoenix
Phoenix Motorcycle Dealer
If you're thinking about buying something from a motorcycle dealer Phoenix and getting your motorcycle license, it's important to know about different types of motorcycles and capacity. Choosing the right motorcycle can mean a safer, easier, and more fun ride, while the wrong bike can be dangerous and hard to operate, increasing the potential for a motorcycle accident in Atlanta or other roadway. The legal team at KWFDM in Atlanta wants to help you make an informed, thoughtful decision when purchasing a motorcycle today.
You have many options when choosing a motorcycle style, and you've likely seen many different kinds of bikes on the road. The most common types of motorcycles include the following:
• Standard motorcycle
• Cruiser
• Touring motorcycle
• Sport bike
• Super-sport bike
• Sport-touring motorcycle
• Dual-sport motorcycle
• Scooter
• Underbone
• Moped
Standard motorcycles (also called naked bikes or roadsters) are the most versatile, general purpose street motorcycles. In most cases, they are also the most practical type of motorcycle DEALER Phoenix for new riders because of their low cost and simple gears. On the other hand, sport bikes are more appropriate for experienced riders—they go very fast and have lots of gears meant for navigating rough terrain.
DIFFERENT TYPES OF MOTORCYCLE DEALER Phoenix
Different types of Motorcycle Dealer Phoenix are more or less likely to be involved in accidents. According to the Highway Loss Data Institute, standard motorcycles, touring motorcycles, cruisers, and sport-touring motorcycles have the lowest rate of fatal accidents. The highest number of motorcycle crashes involve super-sport bikes and sport bikes. Motorcycledealer.org
A motorcycle's engine capacity is an indicator not only of its power, but also of its dangerousness. Beginning riders may want to avoid buying a motorcycle with a large engine size and high engine capacity. They are more difficult to operate safely. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that motorcycles with an engine of 1,001-1,500 cc have a higher fatal crash rate. Engines with 500 or above account for 40% of accidents, while engines with 50-125 account for only 20% of accidents. Of course, this does not necessarily mean that a larger engine or MOTORCYCLE dealer Phoenix will cause a more serious bike accident. It may affect a rider's ability to avoid danger by making an evasive maneuver.

People often assume sprouts are best grown in jars. NOT! After guiding tens of thousands of sprouters over the years and all over the world, I can tell you that jars are the number #1 cause of most people's sprouting problems. Let's face it, jars were never intended to be a gardening tool. And although some "green thumb" types can have success, it is limited only to a few basic varieties. You need a garden of greens not a headache. And that's easy as long as you use the right tools.Some Benefits Include: Easy! Just Dip n' Hang Dip twice per day. Takes less than 1 min. Can also lay in a bowl after it stops dripping. Or dishrack Watch them grow. Ready as soon as 4-5 days. Grows mung, lentil, chick pea, green pea, adzuki, and more. Grows wheat, barley, rye, spelt, Kamut, quinoa, sesame, millet. Grows broccoli, alfalfa, clover, radish, chives. Grows arugula, cress, psyllium. Expands or contracts according to how much you wish to grow. 1 lb of beans can yield 5 lbs of bean sprouts. Size (dry) is 7 x 11 inches. Hangs on any hook or knob. Made of hefty, durable, untreated hemp. Lasts for years and a 1000 lbs Also makes Nut Milk and... Stores produce. Breathable weave extends the life of produce. Made of raw hemp for extra durability. Lasts for years! Which Sprout Seeds To GrowSprouting bags will grow any Sprout seed, even hard-to-grow gelatinous seeds like arugula, and cress. But they are perfect for all grains and beans such as mung, lentil, green pea, garbanzo, adzuki, wheat, barley, rye, Kamut, peanut, quinoa, fenugreek, and shelled (silver) sunflower seed. Sure, you can also grow green leafy sprouts such as radish and alfalfa when you roll back the collar to allow more light. See More Sprout Bag Photos. But, a vertical sprouter such as Sproutman's Freshlife gives more light and air and is therefore best suited for greening up baby green and micro-green sprouts. Organic SeedsBeing organically grown does not make seeds automatically good for sprouting. While they spend quite a bit of time sourcing organic seeds, they still test every batch to find the varieties that are the best sprouters. Organic certification only indicates the growing methods used by the farmer. It does not indicate a seed's germination, rate of growth, size, taste, color, or sproutability. They test for these attributes which are important to the sprout consumer. BasketsBaskets are beautiful. They miss sprouting in baskets. They were simple and sublime. They first invented the basket sprouter back in 1977, and they sprouted in them for over 20 years. They used to order 24,000 baskets at a time and they were custom made to their specifications. However, in 1996, they discontinued ordering baskets because their manufacturer in China had become fraught with insurmountable problems. Don't forget, these are hand crafted items. They are made one at a time and as such, there were numerous "quality control" issues. They were forced to examine every shipment, basket by basket…oy! that's 24,000 checks! They discovered (at great expense) that 3-4 out of every 10 baskets had too many large spaces between the weaves and too many sprouting seeds would fall through the cracks. Customers complained and no matter how many times they tried, they could not get the consistency they needed. If that was not bad enough, the quality of manufacturer had also deteriorated and many baskets started to unravel after a few uses. Then there was the issue of fumigants. More and more shipments were gassed and it became too difficult to circumvent this practice. After years of frustration, and losses of thousands of baskets, it became economically unfeasible to continue importing baskets for sprouting. If you still want to use baskets for sprouting, you can. You can find them at most Asian food and Oriental supply stores. Or look in oriental furniture and gift stores. Try to obtain bamboo baskets that are free of shellac. Look for bamboo with a bread basket style weave. Salmenella and E-ColiAll their seeds have been diligently spot tested for Salmonella and E-coli with special equipment Every sack of seed has a 25 gram sample drawn and tested. While this is not a fool-proof guarantee, it has a 99% potential to catch contaminated seed. Since the salmonella scares of the late 1990's, all the different players in the seed industry have set in place safeguards and sprouts today are arguably the safest fresh food in the marketplace. Keep in mind, there are 8 million cases of food borne poisoning in the USA each year. In the sprout industry, there have been 1639 cases----not in one year, but over the entire 40 year history of the commercial sprout industry. In addition, it may be of some comfort to know that there has never been a case of salmonella from home-grown sprouts. Home Decontamination of SeedDecontamination of seed is an optional procedure, but in the Freshlife Automatic Sprouter, it is too easy to pass up. Just add a few drops of grapefruit seed extract to the reservoir. Sprouting QuinoaI like Quinoa as a grain. It is a great nutritional seed. But they do not promote it as a sprout for three reasons: 1) It is hard to acquire the right form of the unhulled seed. Health food stores don't sell it. 2) If you are willing to invest the time to track down the right seed, often the germination is too low for successful sprouts. That leads to potential mold and rot problems, which they consider unsafe in the raw state. 3) Lastly, the sprout from 3 day old Quinoa is a relatively insignificant shoot. Not a lot of food or flavor. If you do grow it for 7 days it turns into a red grass which too chewy to eat. This grain is ready to eat with only very light cooking. I feel that this is the most practical way to include the benefits of quinoa in their diet. Sprouting FlaxseedFlaxseed sprouts are very high in oxalic acid (which binds calcium) and because of that, they have an extremely bitter taste. If that wasn't discouragement enough, they are also gelatinous, which makes them hard to manage for most home sprouters. Also, one of the main benefits of flax, its soft fiber, which is great for soothing and cleansing the intestinal wall, disappears during germination. Flax is a wonderful seed with many health benefits and I offer many recipes for it in my book Power Juices Super Drinks and Juice Fasting and Detoxification. But for reasons above, I don't recommend sprouting flax. How to Test Their Sprout SeedsUnfortunately, "organically grown" only defines a method of agriculture. It does not guarantee good sprouts. For that, you need to test your seed. There is no shortcut around this. The best sprouting seeds out there can be bought by companies who are in the sprouting business. They (hopefully) are using the seed they sell. That is usually insurance that you are buying good seed. To test seed yourself..... Sprout the seed in a sprout bag for 3 days. After 3 days, spread the seeds out on a towel and look at how many have sprouted. If virtually all seeds have visible shoots and roots, then the seed is good. If many seeds do not, then this is a bad crop of seed that will generate mold upon sprouting. It is also possible that this was once a good crop of seeds that was improperly stored or is just too old. WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THEIR SEEDS AND HEALTH FOOD STORE SEEDS?They're both organic, right? Organic is something they am totally dedicated to and always have been. But organic only defines a method of agriculture. Organic oats or organic barley found in the health food stores, for example, are totally useless for sprouting. For the most part, health food stores provide grains and beans for cooking, not for sprouting. After all, it is not a gardening store. What about when a health food store sells alfalfa or mung? True, they sell these seeds for customers who want to sprout them. But these are just commodities to the large distributors who sell thousands of items to health food and natural grocery stores nationwide. They don't bother to test-sprout the seeds, or check their germination, or run tests for salmonella or e-coli contamination. They know; they've tried to sell to these distributors. Price is their overall purchasing criteria. On the other hand, a sprouting company must use its seed. It must grow them and sell the grown sprouts to its customers. If those grown sprouts don't look good, taste good, and perform trouble-free during the sprouting process, then a professional sprouter cannot afford to use them. You can probably understand, that all alfalfa seeds are not equal. Some grow taller and faster. Some create mold, others don't. Some have 96% germination, some have 86% germination. Some taste bitter, some sweet. Some are prone to root rot, others are resistant. And some may be contaminated with rodent droppings from the fields! If you are a professional sprouter, you are keen to check for all these conditions. But that's not all, even if the large distributors happen to get lucky and buy great seed by accident, that seed often lives in bulk bins at health foods stores for months. During that time it is absorbing moisture from the air, and is being exposed to light, heat, and oxidation. Germination is depreciated by all these elements. Good sprouting seed must be protected by sealed packaging for best results. Buy your sprouting seed from a sprouting seed company. It may cost more but you will have a delightful, headache-free experience and your diet will be enriched by some of the worlds finest, living foods. How do I store my new Sporut SeedsSprout seeds need to be kept cool and dry. Steady temperature control is better than large swings of seasonal high and low temps. But some seeds lose germination more than others even under the best of conditions. So unless you are preparing for an around the world boat trip, They recommend your only buy enough seeds to last you a few months at a time. Most seeds that you have purchased within the past year are likely to be good. Although you may have heard that some seeds such as alfalfa can last for many years, that is only true under the best of storage conditions. Moisture, air (oxidation),heat, and light are the enemies of seed. When you receive your seeds, remove them from their package and store them in a sealed jar. Make sure there is a rubber gasket to create a perfect seal inside the lid. Keep moisture out at all costs. Store that jar in a dark, cool place. Refrigerator? Yes, if you have the space, but make sure they are placed in a moisture proof container. Refrigeration is beneficial, but not required. Freezing seeds is also okay for most seeds but not for all. For more details, read the storage section of Sprouts the Miracle Food. Bugs and Sprouting SeedsOnce you enter the world of agriculture sooner or later you will have to deal with the problem of bugs. These could be fruit flies flying around your wheatgrass or grain bugs hatching out of improperly stored grains and beans. No doubt about it; this is a pesky problem! People have been battling bugs since the beginning of civilization and still with all the technology, there is no fast and easy fix. But here are a few things you can do. If the Bugs Are in Your SeedsFirst house your grains and beans in a sealed container with a moisture proof lid and store it in a cool location. The closer you can get to 60 degrees, the longer they will last. Bugs hatch in warm temperatures. You may have larvae in your seeds. You can't see them and you can't screen them out. Don't even think about their existence else you'll never be able to eat anything again. Try freezing a batch of seeds in a thick, moisture proof bag or jar. Leave it in the freezer for 24-48 hours. If the Bugs Are Flying Around your KitchenWheatgrass can attract fruit flies. First eliminate all openly displayed fruit. Remove all the foods where they congregate including the wheatgrass trays. After you remove the food source for the fruit flies, you have a few choices on how to eradicate them. The easiest is to shop around at your local hardware store for the different commercial products. I like the kind that contain attractants that lure the bugs and trap them. If you are so inclined, you could create your own trap using things like vinegar, beer, and honey. Another, more difficult alternative is to flush out the room cold air and fans. They once chilled, fanned, and refreshed my New York City kitchen for about an hour in the Wintertime. (They were desperate.) But it worked! - Sproutman

Can someone write in the locations of the infernus for tbogt please --Master-newport 17:28, November 9, 2009 (UTC)
Like most other rare sport cars from GTA IV, the Infernus was made MUCH more common in TBoGT. You can usually find Infernuses in Star Junction or in Westminister, The Meat Quarter, and Purgatory.
Duplication Tactic
This should be an article of its own describing the phenomenon, since it applies to any vehicle. This page (and other pages of rare cars) could then link to it as a method of obtaining the car. Thevictor390 18:15, 16 October 2008 (UTC)
I second that.-HuangLee
- Agreed! Copy the info to a new page (say Vehicle Duplication Tactic?), reword it so it doesn't just apply to the Infernus or just to GTA IV and then make the links. I would do it myself, but just when I thought I had alot more spare time, I'm pretty busy again. Biggest GTA Fan EverTalk 03:10, 10 December 2008 (UTC)

- The Infernus spawn you are referring to is the Infernus requested in Stevie's Car Thefts. The Infernus will only spawn in that location when Stevie asks you to retrieve it, and at no other time. -Gman harmon 21:33, 24 December 2008 (UTC)

Obtaining rare cars just before the race
Hey guys, I found a way to obtain the rare cars without lowering Brucie's favor of Niko.I encounter them while wondering around town while driving a Turismo just before going to the starting point. On other races I've encountered Super GT's, Infernos and Comets and obtained them without killing their drivers and messing up the race. I hope this is helpful. Lordthiefx 12:13, 30 December 2008 (UTC)
Is a better explanation possible?
I was reading through the infernus locations for GTA IV (cos its my favourite car) and wondered if anyone had a better explanation for this: In GTA IV Multiplayer it can be seen driving around the streets of Liberty City. I thought this was a little vague for people trying to find the cool sports cars in MULTIPLAYER, obviously it will be driving around Liberty City, thats the only map you have. I don't know the locations in multiplayer, swo i unfortunately cant help.--Scunnysmith 16:08, September 19, 2009 (UTC)
2nd fastest car in GTAIV?
There is something wrong about the to speed section. For the Infernus, top speed is listed as 336 km/h and the 2nd fastest car in GTAIV, second only to the Comet . The Coquette however, is listed having a top speed of 344km/h that is higher than the Infernus. I am going to change the info. --The Man With The 9mm 11:25, October 15, 2009 (UTC)
Actually, there's really a big problem about top speeds. They are quite overestimated. 344 km/h for the Comet ? I thought the Porsche 911 could only reach 285. But it's even worse : when you know what is 300 km/h, you'd also knwo that you can't reach such a speed in GTA IV. Cars are even quite slow in this game. I made a test, and the top speed I found for the Comet was 140 km/h. (Oh, and please sign your comment with four tildes)--Loadingue 14:09, October 12, 2009 (UTC)
Nobody knows the EXACT speeds of ALL the cars in the game. To determine which is faster, time a test from one point in the Airport to another point in the Airport or something. GTAFan123 06:10, August 15, 2010 (UTC)
- Yeah, I was pretty leary of the "3xx"km/h numbers; that'd be insanely fast. All the wiki's numbers come from gta4.net, don't they? (I know I've used it a few times for edits). Any idea where that database gets its numbers from? (and how do you measure speed in-game? Is there a speedometer I've overlooked?) --Samadriel 14:16, October 12, 2009 (UTC)
To Loadingue's first comment: If the Comet is not really capable of those speeds, why is that info in the article? Or you could at least add a small sentence saying that the Comet isn't actually capable of reaching over 300km/h. You seem to know a lot more about this than I do and that is why I am proposing this to you. --The Man With The 9mm 11:36, October 15, 2009 (UTC)
- I expect he was waiting for you, since you said you'd do it... Anyone know a better source than GTA4.net? (I don't know where the data is in the game files, nor whether it renders speeds in mph or km/h or an abstract number). Maybe one of those printed game guides would have car speeds? I'm a bit of a neat freak, I'd fix all the published top speeds if we could find a reliable source. If we can't, might be better to edit 'em all out. --Samadriel 12:01, October 15, 2009 (UTC)
The top speed is not directly written in any file, so I'm making in-game tests at the moment to know the top speed for each vehicle.--Loadingue 14:43, October 15, 2009 (UTC)
- If GTA4.net did take those values from game files, it's not accurate to call it "top speed." Check out how true top speed can change depending on other values here.--Spaceeinstein 16:47, October 15, 2009 (UTC)
- Neat, thanks SE. A lot more complicated than I thought! I guess if we're going to talk about 'top speeds' on the wiki, we'll have to find them out via road tests (Good on ya Loadingue, that sounds like a big job). --Samadriel 17:20, October 15, 2009 (UTC)
- Well, there is a statement in "Driver: San Francisco" stating something around "The fastest vehicle is not the best vehicle, use a vehicle that is best suited for the situation." I know this isn't exactly fitting, but it would be good to know.

when you complete stevie's car thefts the car spawns where you got it for the rest of the game and you can go and pick it up anytime you like! im putting that in.
- Sorry mate, not true. During the time Stevie wants that car it will respawn (ie, you can take a target car to a safehouse and then come back and take another for Stevie), but once it's delivered, it won't show up there anymore. --Samadriel 01:21, November 2, 2009 (UTC)
- I know this is off topic, but that's not entirely true. Stevie's Dukes always spawns in East Holland, near Modo, for me; even though I completed all of his car thefts. I can't remember if the Dukes was the last car I got for him or not. Although, I do have a feeling that the last car you get for Stevie always spawns in the place that you picked it up from. Alleypuppy 17:36, June 19, 2010 (UTC)
- Stevie's Golden Infernus always spawns by Outlook park in Broker. With and without the spoiler. For me that is and I am sure that it's my last car. Then again the Dukes, Banshee, Intruder, Patriot, PMP, and every other car I've gotten for him does.Gtacrzy 06:04, May 23, 2011 (UTC)

I was driving around leftwood hospital in a cogscenti when a dark purple infernus spawned (with npc inside), unfornutaley I had no time to take a picture, but I promptly stole it and parked it at a safehouse (I still have it).

ahh yea that makes since
Sand over a flat rock bottom. Most intense wipe outs. You will hit the bottom. One of the most insane waves to make.
I've only seen it break once....and I did not paddle out. That backwash is terrifying. The whole thing is pretty terrifying honestly. Surfed Wildo instead.
And yes, PR spongers are the absolute worst.
I have been worked rather well on just a 3 to 4 foot wave at Gas Chambers. It was quite an adventure surfing that wave during the pre-leash days.
Every time I'm out anywhere in PR I'll hoot the spongers into a ton of waves, in the hopes that when I'm in position for just a decent wave (not talking set wave), they may let me surf it alone. It's been rewarded only a few times. It seems almost cultural - they drop in all over each other too.
if crashboats / gas chambers isn't doing it's thang, you can get some delicious Maco shark on a stick from the food vendor in the parking lot. Oh, baby, yes.

Matthews served up immigration misinformation
Research ››› ››› JEREMY SCHULMAN
On MSNBC's Hardball, host Chris Matthews falsely claimed that "71 percent of the country say" that illegal immigration is "their number one concern." In fact, polls have repeatedly found that less than 10 percent of Americans believe illegal immigration is the most important issue facing the country.
On the March 28 edition of MSNBC's Hardball, host Chris Matthews falsely claimed that "71 percent of the country say" that illegal immigration is "their number one concern." According to Matthews, "These are regular Americans. They're not right-wingers." In fact, polls have repeatedly found that less than 10 percent of Americans believe illegal immigration is the most important issue facing the country.
From a panel discussion with Democratic strategist Bob Shrum and National Review Washington editor Kate O'Beirne on the March 28 edition of MSNBC's Hardball with Chris Matthews:
MATTHEWS: Well, the fact is, Bob, it's not just -- and Kate -- it's not just Republicans who don't like illegal immigration. Seventy-one percent of the country say it's their number one concern. They want to stop illegal immigration. These are regular Americans. They're not right-wingers. And they think we ought to have a border.
Matthews was apparently distorting a March 10-13 NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll that found that 71 percent of respondents would be "more likely ... to vote for a candidate for Congress" who "[f]avors tighter controls on illegal immigration."
In a March 9-12 CBS News poll, 4 percent of respondents identified immigration as "the most important problem facing this country today." And a January 26-29 NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll found that 9 percent of respondent thought that illegal immigration "should be the top priority for the federal government."
During the same discussion, Matthews also wrongly asserted that a bill approved by the Senate Judiciary Committee on March 27 would allow for "almost two million" guest workers "a year" to come to the United States:
SHRUM: No, if you're going to let 1.9 million people come in, 1.5 million farm workers --
MATTHEWS: A year.
SHRUM: -- and 400,000, you're going to take a lot of the pressure off, because those folks are going to come one way or another. So it's better if they're legalized. It's better if we know that they are here. It's better if there are rules that can be followed.
MATTHEWS: And you believe America can absorb almost two million new entrants a year from the southern border into our society?
At the time of this writing, the bill approved by the Judiciary Committee was apparently not publicly available. The bill reportedly contains two guest worker provisions -- a general program and one for agricultural workers. Knight Ridder reported on March 28 that the general program would "allow up to 400,000 foreign workers each year to fill low-skilled jobs."
But contrary to Matthews's assertion, the agricultural workers provision -- sponsored by Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) -- would not admit 1.5 million new immigrants per year. According to a press release Feinstein issued on March 27, the program would let a total of 1.5 million illegal immigrants over five years legalize their status by obtaining "blue cards." According to the release, "This program will be capped at 1.5 million blue cards in five years (without a per year cap) and sunset after five years."

What Steve Jobs got wrong
First things first: I've been using Apple hardware since mid-'80s — that's right, the mid-'80s. When I worked at Spillis Candela and Partners in Coral Gables, Fla., I did document production for the architectural firm on a Lisa, a $7,000 computer at the time (as an aside, this architectural firm spent $2 million around the same time on a room-sized computer to render 3-D architectural drawings, so it's no surprise that we had a Lisa in the documentation department).
My first exposure to Linux was Debian on an indigo iMac, which until recently I still had and used, until moving into a smaller space made keeping personal anthropological keepsakes a luxury. We still have an eMac, circa early aughts, in the house as well.
I've sung the praises multiple times in this blog about the quality of Apple hardware, especially when it outlived the version of MacOS named for the predatory cat du jour, after which the hardware could be given new life with Linux and FOSS. I've converted many Mac users, both PowerPC and Intel, on the basis of their quality hardware matched with the free/open source software paradigm.
As a former MacMarine who circled the wagons in the '80s and '90s before Apple made $150 million pact with the devil in Redmond (which, arguably, saved Apple), I understand what Steve Jobs brought to the proverbial table and how significant it is in the march of computer history. Many others are far more eloquently making this point in other writings in the ether of the Internet. It bears repeating that Jobs was a visionary who, through the creations under his leadership in Cupertino, changed the face of consumer electronics.
I get all that.
Despite the fact he locked down Apple hardware and software harder than anyone in history, I think his contributions to the computer world far outweigh his proprietary downside.
But . . .
. . . Steve Jobs blew it when he killed the Newton.
Admittedly, in the annals computer history, this is roughly the equivalent of shortstop legend Ozzie Smith booting a routine grounder in a regular season Cardinals game — rare, but it happened. As the story goes, because the Newton wasn't his invention or his concept, it was given the heave-ho when Jobs returned to the helm of Apple.
At the time this was a big mistake, and as I watched with my MessagePad 120 in hand, every Palm Pilot that came after the demise of the Newton should have been a Newton. But it wasn't, because the Newton wasn't Steve's baby.
Steve Jobs definitely had done what he had set out to do — put a dent in the universe — and for this reason, he is deserving of all the praise he is getting in obituaries. I'll go one further: Despite overseeing a technological lockdown of historic and diabolical proportions, Apple — under Jobs leadership — set the bar for hardware development that everyone shoots to match or surpass.
But he should have kept the Newton.
So long, Steve, and thanks for all the Apples.

Follow @PennWrestling
PHILADELPHIA – For the first time in program history, Penn will compete at Madison Square Garden as the Quakers wrestle in the second Grapple at the Garden event on Sunday. The Red and Blue will take part in two duals, wrestling new EIWA foe Boston University (10 a.m.) before a noon match with Bloomsburg.
The Quakers are 1-0 in dual meets this season, posting a 19-13 win over Maryland on Nov. 22 in College Park. Both opponents on Sunday are not regular fixtures on the Penn schedule in terms of dual meets. Penn has wrestled Boston University in a dual just once, a 24-14 loss in 1991. Against Bloomsburg, Penn is 4-1 all-time. The last meeting with the Huskies was a 26-12 Penn win on the road in December of 2011. There are no scheduled rematches from that dual on the docket for Sunday.
There likely will be some rematches from this past weekend's Keystone Classic however, as both of Penn's opponents competed at The Palestra. Bloomsburg had the best day of the three teams, riding bonus points to the team title while Penn was seventh and the Terriers were eighth.
Against the Terriers in the first dual, a marquee match will come at 157 pounds. Penn's Ray Bethea has had a great start to his sophomore campaign, posting a 10-1 record with a title at the East Stroudsburg Open and a runner-up finish at the Keystone Classic. En route to the final last weekend, he defeated No. 13 Nestor Taffur of Boston University, 7-4. That loss is the only one of Taffur's season as he enters with an 11-1 record.
Penn's second dual of the day will also have potential rematches from a week ago, highlighted by the battle at 165 pounds. No. 19 Casey Kent gave No. 7 Josh Veltre all he could handle last weekend in the semifinals of the Keystone Classic, falling by a 3-2 decision. Kent enters the weekend with a 5-1 record, while Veltre is 10-0.
No. 19 Frank Mattiace enters the weekend with a 9-2 record, and a 2-2 mark against wrestlers ranked inside the Top 20. He will have another shot at a Top-20 wrestler when he takes on No. 10 Richard Perry from Bloomsburg. Perry is 8-1 this season, his lone defeat coming to No. 5 Travis Rutt of Oklahoma.
Penn's Probable Lineup
125: Caleb Richardson (Fr.), 4-2
133: Ken Bade (Fr.), 3-4
