The entire time we were watching "The Celebrity Apprentice" last night, the same thought was running through our heads: "These people are having way too much fun drinking Crystal Light." The task for the two teams was to create fun launch parties for two of the diet drink's new "mocktail" flavors, and seeing people having a good time drinking the alcohol-free, artificial-sweetener-flavored drinks showed us that either the two teams were really skilled at creating fun out of nothing, or that people who have that much fun without the use of booze need to be viewed with suspicion.
Seriously, though, the men's team, led by Clay Aiken, looked like they had the more fun party, and they won the task over the women's team, led by Aubrey O'Day. Unlike some past team leads, though, O'Day wasn't about to fall on her own sword, mentioning that she's been the creative force behind just about every task and she's too valuable to leave now.
Dayana Mendoza, whom O'Day brought back to the boardroom for no apparent reason, astutely pointed out, though, that the women's team has lost most of the tasks. Really, the obvious choice to leave was Particia Velasquez, who was responsible for the branding and couldn't really defend why the company's name was so diminished in the printed signs. But that didn't mean that Donald Trump was going to just fire her on the spot when he could manipulate the three into an argument first.

If the HBC did not load, hold reset to load priiloader, then load MMM from priiloader (load the boot.dol). Then install the 4.1j wads from MMM and reinstall priiloader.

If HBC does not load after you change the settings in ARC, what other choice do your have but to reboot the wii. It is no preferable to reboot, but if you have no choice, then you have no choice. The thing is, the wii will be in a semi bricked state until the system menu matching the region settings is installed, but priiloader should load without issue and allow you to load MMM. IOS236 is the ios my guide uses for this, there are many others that would also work.
thank you for your quick reply and the info, mauifrog!
after changing region setting in ARC-mod, i have a choice of installing System Menu 4.1. if i reboot after changing region in ARC-mod, i could reboot to MMM. if ios236 doesn't work for region change, could we use ios249 or others?
Thank you so much, mauifrog. reloading ios236 got the region change done.
now, i can go back and forth different language versions.
one thing is that wii shop channel gives me an error of 205958 after saying that the region has been changed from US to Jpn.
any idea of how to fix it? is this because i have wii shopping account for US version and came to JPN version? i wonder if i should cancel that and try the JPN version.
Does the wii have to be softmodded for this to work?
IS the something like a youtube video guide to this? 0 experience with WII so I'am not quite getting it yet. Also how to reconfigure modchip region?
actually, i was able to use wii shop channel by the following steps:
1. removing the account of the original region
2. change region
3. create a new account of the new region.
thanks so much, mauifrog for all the adequate info!
hello, i changed region on my wii, i had USA reg, and i changed to EUR.
This changing was completly? I have completly EUR wii? So every updates what i need to do and i will need to do should be EUR ?

Mollie Beatie Resigns
Statement Of Rodger Schlickeisen, President Of Defenders Of Wildlife, On The Resignation OF Mollie Beattie
(06/06/1996) - Mollie Beattie has long been a true friend of conservation in the Aldo Leopold tradition. Even before she was appointed head of the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, she demonstrated her deep-seated commitment to wildlife as Deputy Secretary of the Vermont Agency of Natural Resources and as co-chair of a Defenders of Wildlife commission on the future of national wildlife refuges. When she took charge of the agency that manages the refuges as well as endangered species and other programs, we expected her to be a staunch champion of wildlife. She has never disappointed us. Even when the political pressure on her was the heaviest, as when some members of the Northern Rockies states' congressional delegation attempted to stop the reintroduction of the gray wolf to Yellowstone National Park, she never once bowed to that pressure. Even when her physical strength was sapped by her illness, she emanated incredible moral strength and dedication to her job.I will always have two endearing memories of Mollie as head of FWS. In the first, I remember her giving a speech somewhere, anywhere, always with her well-worn copy of Leopold's Sand County Almanac in hand and available for some appropriate quote that fit her subject.
In the second, I remember her in Yellowstone National Park in April of this year, helping to comfort a wild wolf that we were about to transport to another site for release. Smiling broadly in spite of rain, she is saying "Any day you can touch a wild wolf is a good day!"
Mollie is a good leader and a good colleague. More important, she is a special friend to many of us who love wildlife. Any day you can have a friend like that is a good day.

text: Yet you only make assumptions by stating that the genjutsu was weaker with no proof. It should have been in the contrary stronger since it's a sharingan genjutsu, eye he always uses when he wants to cast some of them. You talk again about the fact that Sakura and Chiyo were needed to break the genjutsu, but what makes you believe they couldn't break that alone? Not because we see them disturbing chakra together that it means one person can't. Again it's only your assumption especially when we don't know what happened during all the time when Naruto was in a genjutsu. We just see them suddenly around Naruto to help him to break thru it. Onoki broke thru EMS Madaras genjutsu alone. Does that mean the genjutsu was weaker than Itachis?

UK After more than a century as a celebrated restaurant and bar, the Café Royal on Regent Street reopened late last year as a luxury hotel, with bold interiors created by architect Sir David Chipperfield. While some rooms have been restored to their Louis XVI-style grandeur (with ornate mirrors, gilt rococo plasterwork and painted ceilings), the main restaurant is art deco, and the bedrooms are slick and super-modern. Now the hotel is about to mix things up still further with the launch of six huge "historic suites", each taking their design cues from architectural details found while the building was being redeveloped. The discovery of an original 16th-century fireplace in one room, for example, inspired the creation of the Tudor suite, with full wood-panelling, dark beams and heraldic emblems. Guests will have a sense of stepping back in time – until they look through the window at the bright lights of Piccadilly Circus. Suites cost from £4,000 per night.
India GoAir, a Mumbai-based low-cost airline, has announced that it will only recruit female cabin crew in future, on the basis that they are lighter and therefore save fuel costs. The airline says each additional kilogramme on board costs about Rs3 (£0.03) per hour flown, and that female staff weigh 15-20kg less than male colleagues on average. GoAir plans to add 80 new aircraft by 2020 and says it is looking at all possible ways to cut costs in response to the rupee's fall in value against the dollar, to which its major expenses are linked.
US A major exhibition devoted to the 30-year space shuttle programme has opened at Nasa's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The centrepiece of the $100m attraction is the space shuttle Atlantis, which completed 33 missions and almost 5,000 orbits of the earth before landing for the last time at the Kennedy Space Center on July 21 2011, after what was the final shuttle mission. Visitors will also be able to go inside a replica of the International Space Station and experience a simulated shuttle launch.

6.1: Angles in Polygons
Learning Objectives
- Extend the concept of interior and exterior angles from triangles to convex polygons.
- Find the sums of interior angles in convex polygons.
- Identify the special properties of interior angles in convex quadrilaterals.
Review Queue
- Find the measure of \begin{align*}x\end{align*} and \begin{align*}y\end{align*}.
- Find \begin{align*}w^\circ, x^\circ, y^\circ\end{align*}, and \begin{align*}z^\circ\end{align*}.
- What is \begin{align*}w^\circ + y^\circ + z^\circ\end{align*}?
- What two angles add up to \begin{align*}y^\circ\end{align*}?
- What are \begin{align*}72^\circ, 59^\circ\end{align*}, and \begin{align*}x^\circ\end{align*} called? What are \begin{align*}w^\circ, y^\circ\end{align*}, and \begin{align*}z^\circ\end{align*} called?
Know What? To the right is a picture of Devil's Post pile, near Mammoth Lakes, California. These posts are cooled lava (called columnar basalt) and as the lava pools and cools, it ideally would form regular hexagonal columns. However, variations in cooling caused some columns to either not be perfect or pentagonal.
First, define regular in your own words. Then, what is the sum of the angles in a regular hexagon? What would each angle be?
Interior Angles in Convex Polygons
Recall from Chapter 4, that interior angles are the angles inside a closed figure with straight sides. Even though this concept was introduced with triangles, it can be extended to any polygon. As you can see in the images below, a polygon has the same number of interior angles as it does sides.
From Chapter 1, we learned that a diagonal connects two non-adjacent vertices of a convex polygon. Also, recall that the sum of the angles in a triangle is \begin{align*}180^\circ\end{align*}. What about other polygons?
Investigation 6-1: Polygon Sum Formula
Tools Needed: paper, pencil, ruler, colored pencils (optional)
1. Draw a quadrilateral, pentagon, and hexagon.
2. Cut each polygon into triangles by drawing all the diagonals from one vertex. Count the number of triangles.
Make sure none of the triangles overlap.
3. Make a table with the information below.
Name of Polygon | Number of Sides | Number of \begin{align*}\triangle s\end{align*} from one vertex | (Column 3) \begin{align*}\times\end{align*} (\begin{align*}^\circ\end{align*} in a \begin{align*}\triangle\end{align*}) | Total Number of Degrees |
Quadrilateral | 4 | 2 | \begin{align*}2 \times 180^\circ\end{align*} | \begin{align*}360^\circ\end{align*} |
Pentagon | 5 | 3 | \begin{align*}3 \times 180^\circ\end{align*} | \begin{align*}540^\circ\end{align*} |
Hexagon | 6 | 4 | \begin{align*}4 \times 180^\circ\end{align*} | \begin{align*}720^\circ\end{align*} |
4. Do you see a pattern? Notice that the total number of degrees goes up by \begin{align*}180^\circ\end{align*}. So, if the number sides is \begin{align*}n\end{align*}, then the number of triangles from one vertex is \begin{align*}n - 2\end{align*}. Therefore, the formula would be \begin{align*}(n - 2) \times 180^\circ\end{align*}.
Polygon Sum Formula: For any \begin{align*}n-\end{align*}gon, the sum of the interior angles is \begin{align*}(n - 2) \times 180^\circ\end{align*}.
Example 1: Find the sum of the interior angles of an octagon.
Solution: Use the Polygon Sum Formula and set \begin{align*}n = 8\end{align*}.
\begin{align*}(8 - 2) \times 180^\circ = 6 \times 180^\circ = 1080^\circ\end{align*}
Example 2: The sum of the interior angles of a polygon is \begin{align*}1980^\circ\end{align*}. How many sides does this polygon have?
Solution: Use the Polygon Sum Formula and solve for \begin{align*}n\end{align*}.
\begin{align*}(n - 2) \times 180^\circ & = 1980^\circ\\ 180^\circ n - 360^\circ & = 1980^\circ\\ 180^\circ n & = 2340^\circ\\ n & = 13 \qquad \text{The polygon has} \ 13 \ \text{sides.}\end{align*}
Example 3: How many degrees does each angle in an equiangular nonagon have?
Solution: First we need to find the sum of the interior angles in a nonagon, set \begin{align*}n = 9\end{align*}.
\begin{align*}(9 - 2) \times 180^\circ = 7 \times 180^\circ = 1260^\circ\end{align*}
Second, because the nonagon is equiangular, every angle is equal. Dividing \begin{align*}1260^\circ\end{align*} by 9 we get each angle is \begin{align*}140^\circ\end{align*}.
Equiangular Polygon Formula: For any equiangular \begin{align*}n-\end{align*}gon, the measure of each angle is \begin{align*}\frac{(n-2)\times 180^\circ}{n}\end{align*}.
Regular Polygon: When a polygon is equilateral and equiangular.
It is important to note that in the Equiangular Polygon Formula, the word equiangular can be substituted with regular.
Example 4: Algebra Connection Find the measure of \begin{align*}x\end{align*}.
Solution: From our investigation, we found that a quadrilateral has \begin{align*}360^\circ\end{align*}. We can write an equation to solve for \begin{align*}x\end{align*}.
\begin{align*}89^\circ+(5x-8)^\circ+(3x+4)^\circ+51^\circ&=360^\circ\\ 8x&=224^\circ\\ x&=28^\circ\end{align*}
Exterior Angles in Convex Polygons
Recall that an exterior angle is an angle on the outside of a polygon and is formed by extending a side of the polygon (Chapter 4).
As you can see, there are two sets of exterior angles for any vertex on a polygon. It does not matter which set you use because one set is just the vertical angles of the other, making the measurement equal. In the picture to the left, the color-matched angles are vertical angles and congruent.
In Chapter 4, we introduced the Exterior Angle Sum Theorem, which stated that the exterior angles of a triangle add up to \begin{align*}360^\circ\end{align*}. Let's extend this theorem to all polygons.
Investigation 6-2: Exterior Angle Tear-Up
Tools Needed: pencil, paper, colored pencils, scissors
- Draw a hexagon like the hexagons above. Color in the exterior angles as well.
- Cut out each exterior angle and label them 1-6.
- Fit the six angles together by putting their vertices together. What happens?
The angles all fit around a point, meaning that the exterior angles of a hexagon add up to \begin{align*}360^\circ\end{align*}, just like a triangle. We can say this is true for all polygons.
Exterior Angle Sum Theorem: The sum of the exterior angles of any polygon is \begin{align*}360^\circ\end{align*}.
Proof of the Exterior Angle Sum Theorem
Given: Any \begin{align*}n-\end{align*}gon with \begin{align*}n\end{align*} sides, \begin{align*}n\end{align*} interior angles and \begin{align*}n\end{align*} exterior angles.
Prove: \begin{align*}n\end{align*} exterior angles add up to \begin{align*}360^\circ\end{align*}
NOTE: The interior angles are \begin{align*}x_1, x_2, \ldots x_n\end{align*}.
The exterior angles are \begin{align*}y_1, y_2, \ldots y_n\end{align*}.
Statement | Reason |
1. Any \begin{align*}n-\end{align*}gon with \begin{align*}n\end{align*} sides, \begin{align*}n\end{align*} interior angles and \begin{align*}n\end{align*} exterior angles. | Given |
2. \begin{align*}x_n^\circ\end{align*} and \begin{align*}y_n^\circ\end{align*} are a linear pair | Definition of a linear pair |
3. \begin{align*}x_n^\circ\end{align*} and \begin{align*}y_n^\circ\end{align*} are supplementary | Linear Pair Postulate |
4. \begin{align*}x_n^\circ+ y_n^\circ=180^\circ\end{align*} | Definition of supplementary angles |
5. \begin{align*}(x_1^\circ+x_2^\circ+\ldots+x_n^\circ)+(y_1^\circ+ y_2^\circ+\ldots+ y_n^\circ)=180^\circ n\end{align*} | Sum of all interior and exterior angles in an \begin{align*}n-\end{align*}gon |
6. \begin{align*}(n-2)180^\circ=(x_1^\circ+ x_2^\circ+\ldots+x_n^\circ)\end{align*} | Polygon Sum Formula |
7. \begin{align*}180^\circ n=(n-2)180^\circ+(y_1^\circ+ y_2^\circ+\ldots+ y_n^\circ)\end{align*} | Substitution PoE |
8. \begin{align*}180^\circ n=180^\circ n-360^\circ+(y_1^\circ+ y_2^\circ+\ldots+ y_n^\circ)\end{align*} | Distributive PoE |
9. \begin{align*}360^\circ=(y_1^\circ+ y_2^\circ+\ldots+ y_n^\circ)\end{align*} | Subtraction PoE |
Example 5: What is \begin{align*}y\end{align*}?
Solution: \begin{align*}y\end{align*} is an exterior angle, as well as all the other given angle measures. Exterior angles add up to \begin{align*}360^\circ\end{align*}, so set up an equation.
\begin{align*}70^\circ + 60^\circ + 65^\circ + 40^\circ + y & = 360^\circ\\ y & = 125^\circ\end{align*}
Example 6: What is the measure of each exterior angle of a regular heptagon?
Solution: Because the polygon is regular, each interior angle is equal. This also means that all the exterior angles are equal. The exterior angles add up to \begin{align*}360^\circ\end{align*}, so each angle is \begin{align*}\frac{360^\circ}{7} \approx 51.43^\circ\end{align*}.
Know What? Revisited A regular polygon has congruent sides and angles. A regular hexagon has \begin{align*}(6-2)180^\circ=4\cdot180^\circ=720^\circ\end{align*} total degrees. Each angle would be \begin{align*}720^\circ\end{align*} divided by 6 or \begin{align*}120^\circ\end{align*}.

Interfuel Substitution: A Meta-Analysis
Interfuel substitutability has been of longstanding interest to the energy economics and policy community. However, no quantitative meta-analysis has yet been carried out of this literature. This paper fills this gap by analyzing a broad sample of studies of interfuel substitution in the industrial sector, manufacturing industry or subindustries, or macro-economy of a variety of both developed and developing economies. Publication bias is controlled for by including the primary study sample size in the meta-regression. Results for the shadow elasticities of substitution between coal, oil, gas, and electricity for forty-six primary studies show that at the level of the industrial sector there are easy substitution possibilities between all the fuel pairs with the exception of gas-electricity and coal-electricity. Substitution possibilities seem more constrained at the macro level and less constrained in sub-industries. Estimates also vary across countries and there seems to be less substitutability in more developed economies. Publication bias does not seem to be present, but model and data specification issues very significantly affect the estimates derived by each individual study. Estimates from cross-section regressions are generally largest, fixed effects panel estimates intermediate in magnitude, and time-series estimates are mostly much smaller. Econometric research suggests that the fixed effects estimates are likely the best among the existing studies, though biased downwards.

Washington Tries to Spark Interest in Electric Vehicles with New Web Tool

New web tool called eGallon hopes to spur interest in electric vehicles
The majority of car buyers around the country are staying away from electric vehicles. Many shoppers like the idea of not having to purchase gasoline and reducing pollution, but all modern electric vehicles have significant issues that are too major for the vast majority of shoppers to overcome. The main problems with the electric vehicles currently on the market include cost, short driving ranges, and long charging times among others.
Many areas in the United States also have little or no electric vehicle-charging infrastructure. The annual Electric Drive Transportation Association annual conference was held in Detroit this week and automakers used the conference to talk up their effort to improve charging times. During the conference, the U.S. Department of Energy also launched a new interactive tool on the internet to help illustrate cost savings between gas and electric vehicles.
The tool is called eGallon and makes it easier for consumers to compare the costs of driving each type vehicle. The web tool currently says that costs owners of electric vehicles pay about $1.14 in electricity to drive as far as 1 gallon of gasoline, which costs approximately $3.84 a gallon.
"Consumers can see gasoline prices posted at the corner gas station, but are left in the dark on the cost of fueling an electric vehicle. The eGallon will bring greater transparency to vehicle operating costs, and help drivers figure out how much they might save on fuel by choosing an electric vehicle. It also shows the low and steady price of fueling with electricity," said Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz. "Not only can electric vehicles save consumers on fuel and reduce our dependence on oil, they also represent an opportunity for America to lead in a growing, global manufacturing industry."
GM and BMW also announced during the conference that they have reached the milestone on the path to adopting a new automotive industry standard for DC fast charging. The two companies are working on a joint venture for fast charging systems that will work for both the BMW i3 and the
Chevrolet Spark electric vehicle
. The system is being tested and could charge electric vehicles up to 80% of total capacity in only 20 min.

Irvine Youth Basketball League begins 33rd season
While the Irvine Youth Basketball program is celebrating its 33rd year of existence in 2013, its mission remains the same: "To provide fun, fair, competitive play."
The IYBL is a nonprofit organization, meaning that no one on its board of directors or its coaches make money from the league. Players range from third to eighth grade. There were 89 teams in the recreational league and 15 more in the All-Net program for advanced players last season, totaling about 860 players overall.
Whereas some youth basketball leagues around the country are based purely on winning or on making powerhouse teams, the IYBL does not separate players and teams based on skill level. Instead, players with a wide range of talent levels play on the same team. League president Dan Calhoun says the reason for this is simple: it makes the game more fun for the players.
"If we allow one or two coaches to have a disproportionate number of higher skilled players on one or two teams, it allows these teams to dominate the other teams, which ultimately is not fun for either group of kids," Calhoun said. "There is nothing wrong with competition, and we encourage it, but we discourage a 'win at all cost' mentality that often leads to some coaches trying to stack teams."
While the league prides itself on the idea of a level playing field, there is a chance for better players to showcase their talents. IYBL is a part of the National Junior Basketball League and can let players participate on its All-Net team. The All-Net team allows advanced Irvine players to compete against the best youth players from several states, including Hawaii and Arizona.
Many players who have played in the IYBL play at Irvine high schools, as it has prepared them for the rigors of high school basketball. As Calhoun puts it, it also gives them an everlasting love for the game.
"Our volunteers, from board members to volunteer coaches, become involved because they want kids to participate in basketball," Calhoun said. "This creates a positive learning environment that produces an enjoyable experience for the players. This is the No. 1 priority in developing high school-level players for the following reason: it creates a passion for the game within the individual, which makes them want to pursue playing basketball."
The IYBL season tips off in November.

Garden Grove pays $1.3 million after Taser death
Garden Grove has quietly paid $1.3 million to settle a lawsuit over the death of an unarmed man who died after being shot by police with a Taser outside his home five years ago.
The case was settled last year. The Register first learned of the settlement through a recent public records request filed with the city for financial records. Little about the case has been previously reported.
Many details, however, are buried in the case file in U.S. District Court. The attorneys attached more than 500 pages of sworn testimony and internal police reports.
The Police Department also agreed to discuss the case, its internal investigation and changes to policy that followed. Officers are now instructed to consider more factors that may lead to serious injury or death before using a Taser.
The incident began in September 2008 with several 911 calls about a 32-year-old Garden Grove resident named Andy Tran (at right). He was acting "crazy" and had hit someone, his father told emergency dispatchers, and he needed to be hospitalized.
Dispatchers flagged the call as a violent, mentally ill man, and a Garden Grove police officer was the first to arrive. He found Tran outside his house, unarmed and seemingly confused.
But Tran wasn't violent and complied with each of the officer's directions. He walked when told, stopped when told and put his hands on his head when told.
Then a routine arrest turned to tragedy. As Tran was being handcuffed, a second officer arrived to assist, eventually firing a Taser into Tran's right leg. Tran fell to the ground, stopped breathing and soon died.
Tran's family filed a lawsuit arguing that the officers had used excessive force during the arrest. An autopsy showed Tran died from a heart attack, and a pathologist said the Taser was probably a contributing cause.
Whether the Taser actually caused the death is still disputed by Garden Grove. Steven Sherman, an attorney representing the city, said the electric shock was confined to Tran's leg, and he called the pathologist's conclusion "all sorts of speculation."
The city also disputes whether the Taser constituted an excessive use of police force. As part of the settlement, the city admitted no wrongdoing.
"I firmly believe the officers did nothing wrong," Sherman said. "No one wanted Mr. Tran to die, but Mr. Tran was resistant to the officer's actions. He was noncompliant."
In transcribed statements from the lawsuit, the two officers involved in the incident indicated there was a low degree of resistance. Tran wouldn't remove his hands from the top of his head so that they could be handcuffed.
Garden Grove police actually have a special term for this kind of resistance. It's called "passive resistance," and by department policy, it's supposed to receive only a low degree of police force in response.
With Tran, the officers had already handcuffed one hand and couldn't seem to get the other. Though standing just feet apart, the officers provided different accounts of what happened before the Taser.
Richard Gendreau – the second officer to arrive and the one who deployed the Taser – said he grabbed Tran's un-cuffed wrist and tried to pull it down from his head. But Daniel Karschamroon – the first officer – said this never happened.
Gendreau also said he warned Tran to "Get your hands behind your back or you're gonna be tased." Karschamroon, however, said Gendreau had only told Tran to relax or he would be tased.
"I did not hear anyone say to Mr. Tran to put his hands behind his back," Karschamroon said.
There were other differences, too. Gendreau said Tran's hands were clenched into fists but Karschamroon said he didn't recall that. Gendreau said Tran had been snarling and drooling, but Karschamroon didn't recall that either.
Asked why Gendreau had deployed the Taser, Karschamroon said only, "I could not see what he saw."
For his part, Gendreau said he worried the situation was deteriorating and if Tran got loose, he would have a free-swinging metal object – the handcuffs – at his disposal to hurt the officers.
"Essentially we would be arming him," Gendreau said. "We had some control. It meant that Officer Karschamroon was holding his wrists, but that doesn't diminish the possibility to being able to break away and swing his arms."
Both officers say Tran never spoke through the incident.
Mark Zimmerman, a subpoenaed neighbor who witnessed the incident, questioned the Taser's use. He said Gendreau brought a "cavalier cowboy attitude" and "everything was a little abrupt."
"He walked around to the side of him and shot him with a Taser for, in my opinion, no apparent reason. Everything was under control," Zimmerman said.
The Orange County District Attorney's Office investigated Tran's death and cleared the officers of any criminal wrongdoing.
Garden Grove police also conducted their own internal investigation. Lt. Jeff Nightengale said the officers violated no department policies, because the guidelines in 2008 allowed them to use Tasers against passive resistance.
But Tran's death, training updates from Taser International and other research spurred the department to modify its policies. In 2012, police began requiring officers to consider more factors – such as a person's mental state – before using a Taser.
"If you're going to deploy that Taser, have you considered these factors that may cause serious injury or death?" Nightengale said. "There's more to this thing than it just sends out an electrical shock."
If the same incident happened today, Nightengale also said, "I don't think that you would find that that would be an appropriate use of the Taser."
At one point in the lawsuit, the city asked U.S. District Judge David Carter to dismiss the case for a lack of evidence. Carter refused.
"Genuine issues of fact exist regarding whether Officer Gendreau's action exhibited deliberate indifference," Carter wrote. "A reasonable jury undoubtedly could conclude that the intrusion onto (Tran's) constitutional rights was significant."
At the time of his death, Tran lived with his wife and 4-year-old son. Attorney Sean Hennessey described him as a stay-at-home dad who took medication for mental illness and was normally OK.
A few months after Carter's ruling, Tran's family and Garden Grove agreed to settle for $1.3 million. Hennessey said it was too much for a poor family to consider risking at a trial.
"I couldn't in good conscience tell the family to turn down that money," Hennessey said. "(The son's) going to go to college if he wants."
The money was paid from a self-insurance fund, not the city's operating budget, said Deputy City Manager Maria Stipe. There is about $20 million left in the fund.

TV Channels running scam lottery shows, lure mobile users to play some dead easy guess quiz and put them on HOLD to milk money from their mobile credit wallet. Your call will never gets through. this is deliberately done to stretch you calling cost as they get their margin from the amount you spend holding on your call. Only some studio fake call are shown on their show. The callers are usually the persons siting inside studio itself and they will answer wrongly to prompt you to think that its so easy and you are the only one who will answer it correctly and win the money shown on this show. This is 100% fraud tactics and its a scam and the hidden parties are the telecom connection providers. Do not make calls to such shows see the picture posted in here even a five year old kid will guess it that one half of photo is Indian actors (Bollywood's) Kareena Kapoor and the other half is Ajay Devgan.
By the time you read this blog, I might have already lodged a complaint against such shows with Indian Broadcasting Foundation. You too can lodge complaints about inappropriate content on TV channels with ibfindia.com – Indian Broadcasting Foundation. Here is the complaint I have lodged through ibfindia's online complaint form available at http://ibfindia.com/onlineform.php

Thank you for wanting to find out more about me! For as long as I can remember, I've had a creative mind. From designing by own Barbie clothes, …
I'm passionate about helping bloggers and entrepreneurs create their vision. The very first step is the easiest.
No Designers website is complete without Testimonials and a Portfolio. Check out some of my recent works of magic! :)
"It was such a pleasure to work with Virtual Bren! I am a complete novice when it comes to web design. Brenda was so kind and patient, explaining the various options to me in language that I could understand. She is extremely responsive, organized, efficient, and prompt. She made creating my website a breeze. I went from being completely overwhelmed to having a website that I am proud of and that many have raved about. I highly recommend Brenda and will definitely use her again in the future!"
Alicia Adams
Owner, Beautifully Brown Me
I had no idea what I wanted for my business cards and brochures for my new business. When I talked with Ms. Pace, she knew exactly what would work. I was very pleased with the design as well as how quickly the job was completed!
~~Owner, K & B Powerwashing
Brenda was referred to me from a friend. I was very impressed with Brenda's quick response and patience. There was a hiccup with my hosting provider but she quickly walked me through on how to correct the issue! She was truly a gem through my entire process. I can't wait to work with her again.
~Angela Gibb, A Jacked Up Peach
I was a "newbie" to using computers, including email and Microsoft Excel. With the help of Brenda, she helped me learn how to use our Company email program as well as teach me some helpful shortcuts and functions of Excel. Would recommend her to other co-workers and friends.
~~Supervisor, George & Lynch
Brenda offers great customer service! She listens and communicates well to bring your vision to life. She offers timely feedback and is very supportive. She answered the questions, that I didn't even know to ask!
Brenda walked me through the process for the website design and specifically outlined all steps needed to meet my timeline. She also made helpful suggestions to help support the website functionality. Her professionalism and expertise were comforting and because of that, I didn't have to worry about the end product.
Working with Brenda has been a great experience. Prior to working with Brenda, I had a not- so- good experience paying out a lot of money for a website design that looked like everyone else; and there was no changes or help once I paid my hefty fee. With Brenda, she read my emails and worked with me to recreate my website the way I wanted it to be. She was always available (within a reasonable amount of time) to answer questions and walk me through what was going on or what I needed to do.
I highly recommend Brenda if you are looking to create or re-create your website- she is great to work with and you will not be disappointed. She is really good at what she does!
Renee Fuller
The Garden Frog Boutique
I have used Brenda Pace for designing images for my blog. She is extremely creative and understands what I needed - even more than I understood it. I've seen her work before on others blogs and her own and she is always changing up something with her creativity. She just loves to freshen things up!
There comes a time when you need some help to continue to post, share and engage online and I surely recommend Brenda for your images and design. It has been a timesaver for me and makes my work look more professional.
~Lisa Sicard, Inspire To Thrive
I want to thank Bren with HUGE gratitude! She helped me transfer my WordPress.com posts/information to my new WordPress.org site. If anyone has ever tried to do this, I'm certain you know that although it seems like 'simple steps' it isn't always the case. After several attempts (only to have the data not sync with the latest date posts) and even after contacting WP for assistance, Bren was able to get it done for me in no time. Her services and sincere friendliness made my day and made my site better. I will definitely be hiring her for help on the site again and HIGHLY RECOMMEND her services to everyone! Quick response and turn-around (even though I wasn't expecting it). Thank you again Virtual Bren!
Bren was a joy to work with, she explained things to me really simply (I am a complete novice to Blogging). She was patient, very quick, and responded to emails incredibly quickly (despite our time difference). She made the whole process very smooth, and her rates are excellent value for money. I won't hesitate to recommend her to others.
Brenda is a witty and thoughtful person as well as a dedicated and conscientious employee. ~~Engineer, DSWA

Happy Memorial Day!
Memorial Day is almost upon us, and while this day may bring to mind BBQ, baseball and the start of summer, I hope we all take a moment to reflect on the real reason for this holiday – the remembrance of lives lost in the service of our country.

Elzhi's "Deep" was released over two years ago, but that didn't stop UK producer Sourface from dropping his interpretation of the track this weekend. The soulful production breathes new life into a track that was already blessed with Elzhi's razor sharp lyrics.
The original version of "Deep" was produced by Detroit beatsmith Black Milk and was released on Elzhi's Leftovers Unmixedtape. Listen to both the Sourface remix and the original version "Deep" below.

Where Are You From?... Australia?
Trip Start
Nov 01, 2006
Trip End
Aug 01, 2007
Being Sunday the Grand Bazaar and Spice Bazaar would be closed the next day, so I rounded up Katie and Becca for some leather bag hunting and Turkish Delight sampling. In comparison to India, the Grand Bazaar was a huge let down. A covered area with stalls as far as the eyes can see, but the quality and authenticity of the products was not up to par after being in India. I left not purchasing anything, basically because it was all the same as India (jewelry, leather bags, shawls...) and way over priced! Becca and Katie, avid shoppers, also found the bazaar to be unimpressive. Having had enough, we made our way further into the city toward the Spice Bazaar.
Now this is what I was looking for! Not as big as the Grand Bazaar, basically all along two intersecting walkways, but the color is what was most striking. Overwhelming amounts of nuts, spices, Turkish Delight, and tea lined the numerous stalls as you walked the bazaar. The girls and I were having a blast tasting the samples being handed out left and right. I must say, Turkish Delight is not my sweet of choice. Passing up those samples for the wonderful chickpea with soy made for a great free lunch and fun time with everyone. Daniel was along for the ride, but once inside the colorful bazaar he disappeared to make use of the camera gear he lugs around. After one more perfume purchase Daniel and I gathered up Katie and Becca and we made our way back toward the hostel. Falling straight into bed, we looked at the clock (6pm) and realized wandering all day just wasn't going to happen.
One-day left, now feeling fully refreshed, I got into my auto-sightseeing-pilot and headed for Topkapi Palace. The highlight here being the harem where the sultan kept all his concubines and children (122 to be exact). The tiles were the most impressive I have seen anywhere, the colors so vibrant and the patterns so detailed, it was truly amazing. After an entire morning spent at the palace I still had so much to see!
I headed back to the hostel to see if the girls or Daniel were awake and sure enough by noon they were about ready to head out. Daniel had fallen ill with food poisoning (never buy caviar from a Turkish bazaar), so we left him at the wastebasket and went to the Blue Mosque. Covering our heads we walked in to this magnificent structure decorated with beautiful tiles lining the walls and woven rugs on the floor for pray. Must say Muslims really know how to decorate their places of worship. It was going to be a full day of religious sites with Hagia Sophia being next on the list, therefore I parted with Katie and Becca as they were headed for the palace and we made plans to meet up in the evening.
Hagia Sophia or Church of Saint Sophia is the building Sultan Ahmet wished to outdo when he ordered the building of the Blue Mosque. Although originally built as a church, it was transformed into a mosque, so when you are inside you get this sense of both Catholic and Islamic styles in its decoration and wall paintings. The contrast between the Islamic tile work and the Catholic mosaic works is quite interesting. You lose a little sense for the interior structure because it's under construction, but overall the feeling is one of complete uniqueness.
Now having covered the main attractions or at least the ones I was willing to pay to see, I headed further out in the city to discover some other mosques and soak up some Turkish culture. As I walked the streets trying to figure out where I was going, a young Turkish man who was walking in my direction asked me where I was from. Having been sick of this question, I shortly answered; "Guess!" and so started a new friendship with Cuma (pronounced Juma). Just so happened this was his day off and he asked to spend it with me, I told him I was trying to find various mosques and highlights of Istanbul and he offered to be my guide. What a day it turned out to be!
We must have covered several miles of the city before returning back to my hostel, but Cuma didn't miss anything. I saw at least 15 different mosques, tasted many different Turkish delicacies and got to wander the streets no tourists usually care to find. This truly is the best way to see a city, I only wished I had more days in Istanbul. After the entire afternoon spent with Cuma we parted ways exchanging emails and hugs goodbye. I had made plans to meet up with everyone back at the hostel for a farewell evening before flying to Milan. It would be sad saying goodbye to my traveling companions, but Italy was definitely calling my name.
Final thoughts on Turkey would be, "I must come back!!"... that's all there is to say really!!


text: Volumes No Sleep By: Neil Hazel (@iamneilhazel) 7/15/14 It has been three years since Los Angeles based metal act Volumes put out their debut LP VIA. It is clear that the band has taken that time to carefully refine their sound for their sophomore effort, No Sleep. One of the things that makes Volumes stand out is their use of two screaming vocalists. This allows Volumes to keep the vocal sections of their songs interesting throughout the whole CD. When the two vocalists go back and forth in sections of songs, it gives off an almost hip-hop like feel to the heavy tracks. There's also an abundant use of clean vocals on several of the songs such as "Across The Bed", that fit well with Volumes use of hard-hitting breakdowns and ambient guitar leads. One of the best aspects of No Sleep is how balanced it feels. Listening from start to finish feels like a really complete experience. Tracks move from heavy head-bangers like "The Mixture" and "Neon Eyes" to smooth, clean guitar led songs like "Erased" effortlessly. Combining both heavy and clean aspects within almost every track keeps the CD interesting. The only downside of the meticulous effort that Volumes put into each song is that we are only given ten tracks, two of which are instrumentals. "Vahle" is one of the standout tracks, featuring some of the slickest guitar leads on the album, coupled with a very catchy, clean chorus. No Sleep is an album that is both intricate and easy to listen to. Volumes have cemented themselves as a standout band in the metal scene. Even though it is only their second release, the band has hit their stride and improved greatly upon their prior work. If you're looking for emotionally driven metal that will have you banging your head and singing along, then give this a listen. Let's just hope that we don't have to wait another three years for more. 4/5

This volume brings together new chapters on assertion by leading epistemologists and philosophers of language. The chapters are arranged into two sections. The chapters in the first section address the question of what an assertion is. MacFarlane surveys and evaluates the various possible theories, leaning towards a commitment view. Kölbel defends a view that combines a commitment approach with Stalnaker's 'essential effect' as a necessary condition. At the centre of Pagin's proposal is the notion of an utterance being made 'prima facie because it is true'. Cappelen promotes a debunking view a ... More
