More San Diegans May Get To Vote On Medical Marijuana Dispensaries
Monday, October 8, 2012
Aired 10/8/12 on KPBS News.
Ballot measures to allow medical marijuana dispensaries seem to be cropping up like weeds.
SAN DIEGO Voters in yet another San Diego city may get the chance to decide whether to allow medical marijuana dispensaries. La Mesa may be the next town to put the issue on a future ballot.
The group Citizens for Patients Rights helped place medical marijuana dispensaries on the fall ballot in local cites. The group says it has in turned more than 6,500 signatures on a petition for a similar initiative to the La Mesa City Clerk.
Voters in Lemon Grove, Del Mar, Solana Beach and Imperial Beach will weigh in on dispensaries next month. Voters in Encinitas will face the issue in 2014.
But there's a rub. What ever happens at the ballot box, U.S. Attorney Laura Duffy says she'll continue to enforce the federal ban on marijuana. That means she could force all dispensaries to shut down.
The Los Angeles City Council just repealed its ban on medical marijuana dispensaries. As a result, an estimated 1,000 L.A. storefronts are now unregulated.

Friendly boost for Mexico ahead of New Zealand playoff
(Reuters) - Mexico gave themselves a much-needed boost for their World Cup playoff against New Zealand with a 4-2 win over Finland in a friendly.
Veteran defender Rafael Marquez opened the scoring in the 11th minute at the Qualcomm in San Diego, California on Wednesday in coach Miguel Herrera's debut in charge.
Mexico scored further goals through midfielder Carlos Pena and strikers Oribe Peralta and Jesus Escoboza with Finland hitting back through Jarkko Hurme and an own goal by defender Juan Carlos Valenzuela.
Mexico meet New Zealand over two legs, at home on November 13 and away a week later, for a berth at the 2014 finals in Brazil.
"I'm very satisfied and happy with the team's performance and although we must correct errors that brought goals (for the opposition) the team showed a clear idea of what we want on the pitch," Herrera said.
"I find the team ready in their minds, a win like this helps to gain confidence," Herrera, Mexico's fourth coach in less than two months, told reporters.
He fielded seven players from his club side America, the Mexican champions and league leaders, looking for the stability lacking in the team when they failed to qualify directly from the CONCACAF final group this month.

Chapter One:
Introduction: Why Post-Issuance Compliance?
Over the past few years, the tax-exempt bond market has been under heightened scrutiny by various regulators, including the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS"), the United States Securities and Exchange Commission and the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board. These regulators have called for increased regulation as well as transparency, with a large part of their focus on post-issuance compliance.
The purpose of this booklet is to introduce interested parties to the topic of post-issuance compliance. It is intended to assist:
• treasurers, finance directors, comptrollers and other responsible officials of state and local government issuers of tax-exempt bonds ("Issuers") and
• private, non-governmental conduit borrowers (such as nonprofit institutions providing health care and higher education and for-profit developers of exempt facilities) which are allowed to borrow at tax-exempt rates from Issuers ("Borrowers"),
in developing policies, procedures and systems to ensure that (i) the interest on their bonds will remain tax-exempt, (ii) they are in compliance with their ongoing continuing disclosure obligations, and (iii) they are in compliance with their covenants under their bond documentation so that no event of default will occur on account of technical noncompliance.
Due to its complex nature, post-issuance tax compliance takes up the majority of this booklet — Chapters 2 through 7. Chapter 8 addresses compliance with continuing disclosure obligations. Lastly, Chapter 9 focuses on compliance with the underlying bond documentation in a financing. For further information about any of the topics discussed, please contact one of the people listed at the end of the booklet. We hope that you find this booklet to be useful and informative.

Digital Lake & River Maps
Looks like the electronic digitalization of our lakes and rivers are well are there way to make it easier for every one to ultimately catch fish. Per our other thread, information technology is a threat to our fisheries.
Check this out. I hope they do all of the lakes and ocean shores first and leave the trout and salmon rivers for last, or never would be better. Would you want every one knowing where the good runs and holes are on your home waters ? This is sure going to help a lot of people. ESPN site outdoors section now has this on it. Looks like a new feature added recently. http://espn.go.com/outdoors/oims/index.html The firm which is offering this is Outdoor Intelligence, below is their URL. They just started in 2001. On ESPN Outdoors site they have all lakes now. They are offering this technology to all sorts of fishing and outdoor web sites. Looks dangerous to me, takes a good part of the learning curve out of learning how and when to fish the waters. Outdoor Intelligence |

"Looks dangerous to me, takes a good part of the learning curve out of learning how and when to fish the waters."
I guess then friendship with a more experienced flyfisher who is willing to share his/her knowledge is also "dangerous" and takes a good part of the learning curve away. As do books, videos, magazines, TU meetings and fly shows. Each person's learning curve is different, and some people will never "get it" no matter how much technology and information is out there. For those who DO learn more quickly, then what's wrong with maximizing one's time on the water, especially when some of us don't get to spend as many hours on the water as we would like? |
When everyone "maximizes their time on the water" there is an increase in pressure on the resource. That's just mathematics. The question is how much?
In all the hoopla about the benefits of the internet, (and I agree there are many that I have reaped) it's not a bad idea to check or question the impact on the resource. PMFlyfisher has referred to this idea in other threads and was treated like an anti technology heretic. Well I think it's something we ought to monitor and get more data on. I'm not going to just get in line and say "Gee the internet is wonderful and don't you dare question it". The data I'm going on is the number of striper fishermen whom I've personnally witnessed go from little or no skill to catching keepers routinely on their own flies in 1 or 2 seasons. You can't tell me that is not having an impact. The question is how much? The other question is how much conservation info they get along with it. I'm sure there are meat fisherman boards too. Lefty |

Interesting topic. You could look at it both ways...
Take 20 people from a busy showroom floor at a sporting show, line them up. Put the avid, fly tying, constant keeper catching internet surfin' savvy anglers on one side of the aisle. Put the grandpa taught me set-in-his-ways introverts on the other. Which would you trust to look after the welfare of a species? I would choose the more informed, more experienced, more savvy guy every time. People don't get good at fishing unless they absorb lots of information and process it to be applied to the problem at hand. Smart anglers don't bite the hand that feeds them and the internet unites such people to give the resources a chance in the fight against exploitation of our natural treasures while nobody was looking. History proves that the enemy is not us, but the lack of us. If everyone on earth was an experienced flyfisherman, we'd be a lot better off. I sincerely believe that an informed angler is far less harmful than one who only knows enough to be dangerous. He releases almost everything he catches, harasses fewer juvenile fish (just little stuff here, move on), and is perfectly secure about doing all his fishing without a barb or bait due to his advanced skill level. All it takes is a crowd of amateur fishermen with rod holders and lawn chairs to see what fish carnage is all about. By bringing people to advanced skill levels as quickly as possible you are sparing the fish from the abuse of unknowing sportsman on a shallow learning curve. |
Of course on the "avid, fly tying, constant keeper catching internet surfin' savvy anglers" side of the room there are 479 guys. (like a July afternoon on Momonoy..doh) On the introvert side of the room there's 3 beer bellied dudes. Still mathematics.
Another thought: They ought to start with digital images of the underwater contours of every square inch of Chatham inlet. In front of the lighthouse they could put acoustic mapping devices underwater that update every week or so in case there are any changes. Then we could do a wireless connection to this database with our handheld fish finders, and cast our flies to the nearest lunker.
(still wouldn't help me, Chatham bites!). But my point is, where do you draw the line? Tis a subject for honest debate. He say: "If everyone on earth was an experienced flyfisherman, we'd be a lot better" Ya NO parking spaces left at ANY fishing spots either. Forget the causeway... |
Juro is 100% correct. EDUCATION is the key to the survival of our resources. Digital maps are only an aid.
I think a handful of uncaring flyfishers are going to do more damage than 100 educated people. As far as the original poster's comments go, it kind of depends on what his main reason to post was. If it was to complain that more inexperienced fishermen were going to be encroaching on his areas and making it not as pleasant for him to fish, then maybe the maps aren't the problem, but rather too many experienced fisherman not making enough room for the lesser experienced to enjoy the sport as well. That's one way of looking at it. Not a pleasant thought for many, I'm sure. Another is from the comments made about too much pressure on the fish and our resources. Again, the pressure is going to come from those experienced anglers who have learned all the secrets that are truly hammering the fish. The inexperienced are just out there pounding the water. Please don't get me wrong. All the opinions I have read are of value. But the real solution to the problem is NOT getting rid of digital maps or anything else. It's EDUCATION! Those newer anglers who learn and appreciate what we have will not be a problem. Those who don't learn, well, we'll just have to hope they slip on a rock, drown, and end up becoming fish food. |
Interesting comments, the bottom line is that the information revolution has enabled people's knowledge in ALL subject areas, not just fishing. I think you would all agree.
The more quality information that is available for people to learn and make decisions, which the internet has provided, the more quickly they can become skilled in the subject area such as fly fishing or a specific way to fish a particular fishery, thus the more productive they will become faster resulting in a greater volume of competent fishers. Also our population is increasing. Since the fisheries are not expanding materially (a new man made lake every year or so, but no new rivers that I know of)over time there will be more pressure and depletion (demand) on our fixed fishery resources. The basic economic supply and demand model applies. Demand rises and the fixed Supply (fisheries) decreases over time. If information technology is not controlled it will be a major risk to our society in the long term. My opinion. Read Future Schock - Alvin Toffler. By the way I am not an anti-technology person, having a computer systems, business admin, MBA finance degrees and been working in IT/financial management for major international corporations for 27 years I know how fast IT has evolved in just the last 5 years with the internet connecting the world's information and people together. Now Privacy Director for a major international financial services company's north american operations. Beleive me people are very concerned about their personal privacy (you should see some of the letters I have received) and misuse of their information through information technology is one of their main concerns they see as a threat. We will see, it benefits me, and I and probably most others on this forumn are not a threat. However, I have heard stories on other fishing boards where reports of good fishing in a certain area result in 40 cars at the site the next day all due to the power of the information technology now available. I personally don't want digital online maps of the rivers I fish available. I would rather figure it out myself like we have done to date. That is half of the challenge of fishing, figuring out how to do it. Anyway it is a new risk to our fisheries we should all be aware of and not abuse. |
The hard fact is that nothing can or will be done about things like this in our society. For the most part that is a good thing and has made us what we are today.
The supply and demand scenario is a good one but I think it does not go far enough through the cycle. As demand increases and, at least relative, supply decreases the supply will have greater value. With greater value comes increased protective measures such as more no kill zones, increased size limits, decreased bag limits and shorter seasons. For many, those additional protective measures will decrease the attractiveness of the sport and thus the demand will decrease. The ones who stick with it through the tighter protective measures will be around when the relative supply increases and will be there to mentor the inevitable "masses" creating the return of greater demand. If we value the resources we use it seems to me that only good can come from teaching others how to use those resources and value them as we do.
Tight Lines, Gregg |
Here is an example of detailed web based specific information data base updated daily with web cams of steelhead streams in western NYS - Lake Erie. Sure the digitalized river maps will be added as soon as available.
Imagine how fast anglers converge on these small streams. I don't think you would want this on favorite home rivers. Surf around this one, I am sure there are more of these types coming on the web. http://www.noodlebagger.com/ |
I think the most important outcome of this debate is a credo for us, the members of the Forum, to live and play by.
We have experienced the backlash of our own success at certain locations because of our exhuberance and pictures posted, etc. But this is no different than a book, in fact a book is much more thorough by nature and can come along in your car to tell you which street to turn on. Anyway, what we have done thus far to mitigate this risk is to adopt the following methods of sharing our wildest hotspots (and we DO have some hot spots!): a) discuss details offline, but celebrate publicly online (big fish pics, no details). b) invite those who are the biggest contributors to the community and personally show them these goldmines and how to fish them c) we ask that people do not use this knowledge selfishly once shown, we consider them an important part of the reward system Sounds like I am dreaming about how good these spots are, but I assure you those who have gone to mecca will agree that they are that good. These aren't spots that are being shared on line, I will assure you of that. Sharing general knowledge is healthy. Giving away the farm serves no one but those who do not deserve it. We have plenty of killer spot knowledge. We are just good as distributing it amongst ourselves and it is tied into the honor code - those who do the most get the most first. |
At some level this is also a bunch of abstract BS. When can we go fishing? Lefty Last edited by Lefty; 01-24-2002 at 12:36 PM. |
Yes I think the web is more dangerous than a book with its ability to provide daily information to a large audience on the status of fishing in a specific fishery. Never seen a book which could do that.
That web site I referenced above on Lake Erie steelhead streams has daily web cam shots of a number of rivers plus if you are a member for $ 60 a year get to the members only where the guide shop gives you expert advice on the conditions and what to use, where to fish etc. I suppose. Thats what it sounds like from reading the FAQs on this site. Yes this would save fisherman a lot of wasted time going to the river, when conditions are not good and expedite their learning curve, etc... Not what we need at least for fishing, now for other subject areas in our society this type of technology is beneficial, but please not fishing, supposedly a solitary peaceful sport. I have been through combat fishing scenarios, and at this point in my life, I will avoid them to the point of not fishing, it is just to much hazzle and spoils the sedentary experience. Then I will golf where I will have a peaceful and fairly sedentary experience with a 90% probabilibily. Hope this stuff does not get really out of control Gotta go (To Work) |
We are bouncing around a lot... I thought the concern was about impact on the resource, but it now seems to be about an angler's personal experience ("parking lot full", "peaceful", etc). I believe we've established that the resource is better off with smart C&R FF'ers in the world due to a penchant for conservation and lifeblood connection to the health of the river, lake and sea. Who else would fight against dams, over-harvest, contamination and abuse of the resource besides anglers and outdoorsmen?
So let's discuss two more things: Movies and TV. Television eclipes the web by orders of magnitude worldwide, for the time being. The movie "A River Runs Through It" had a bigger impact on private fishing holes than any other media event in history, including any website you can name. My point is the web is the web. It's good and it's bad. We can be part of the problem, or part of the solution. The future is in our own hands. |
No we're not bouncing around any more than any other philosophical debate in the dead of winter. I think the comments have stayed pretty much within the topic. If you want to see a thread that took a dirt road go look at how I blew the Pike swap thread.
I'm against. I don't think any ammount of web based conservation education can offset that. And as for the Lazez Faire notion of letting the supply and demand "market" drive away fishermen when things get depleted as a way of balancing out the impact- what right wing dogma. The woods and streams and oceans need protection period. Protection from overlogging, overdevelopment etc. And maybe that protection should extend to prevent handing the jewels of the outdoors over to people on a silver platter through techology or the web without the work. Reply away, but I rest my case cause I hate when threads turn into pissing contests. Lefty |

This review is from: Pioneer VSX-1121-K 7.1-Channel A/V Receiver
Pros: Awesome sound.... when it works!
Cons: From day one this has been a finicky receiver. Ever so often having to reset to factory defaults and multiple attempts to do firmware update. I am very disappointed with Pioneer's lack of support on their receivers. Do a Google search on Pioneer UE22 error codes and you will see that it is a common problem. I have owned this unit for about 3 years and have enjoyed the sound quality when it works but it is far from user friendly and stable! This feels like I have a BETA product. Sure I am out of warranty as well as a lot of other people but stand behind your products. And no, I don't expect a lifetime warranty but with all of the EXACT same problems a factory recall might be in order!

Appleseed: Ex Machina |
Blu-ray Animation | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Written by Darren Gross | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Thursday, 01 May 2008 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
"Appleseed: Ex Machina" is a sequel to 2004's "Appleseed" feature film, both based on the manga by the pseudonymous Masamune Shirow. It is the year 2113. A devastating non-nuclear global war has decimated half of the world's population. Cutting-edge cybernetic technology has managed to save a significant number of the injured. The population consists of three types of people: humans, cyborgs, and artificially created humans called bioroids, who have been engineered to be less prone to anger and violence. This rebuilt society is still plagued by violence, but strives toward Utopian ideals, with the capital city of Olympus standing as a beacon of hope. The elite police force, E.S.W.A.T., maintains order. Two of the shining officers in E.S.W.A.T. are athletic female, Deunan Knute and Briareos, Deunan's lover whose body was so decimated by an explosion in the war, that his external body is entirely robotic. Briareos's head has an almost rabbit-like appearance and his face is an array of green camera lenses. Despite these hurdles, Deunan and Briareos maintain a close relationship. During an operation to rescue several hostages being held in a cathedral by a group of cyborgs, Briareos takes the brunt of an explosive blast and is hospitalized. While he's out of commission, Deunan is given a new partner, Tereus, a bioroid who has been cloned from Briareos's DNA and, unsettlingly, looks exactly like Briareos before his body was destroyed. While reluctant at first to partner with Tereus, Deunan eventually comes around, and the two work to defeat a new menace threatening Olympus. An international conference is held at Olympus to propose placing all global defense satellites under the control of Olympus in order to foster peace and harmony. The conference is attacked by rioters and cyborgs, whose minds are being controlled by a signal being generated from an unknown source. While the attack is thwarted, the campaign of insidious mind control continues to be waged. Deunan, Tereus, and a recovered Briareos join together to uncover the force behind the attacks, but the situation becomes more complicated when Briareos falls under the mind-controlling signal as well…
"Appleseed: Ex Machina" is an interesting combination of two different styles of animation: motion capture and traditional cell animation. The animated series "Ghost in the Shell: Standalone Complex" also combined cell and computer animation for an interesting effect and with similar themes. While the animation is almost entirely done on computer with the performances being sourced from motion capture, the final work has been given the look of traditional cell animation. The synthesis is an odd one. The action has a thrilling fluidity and sleekness. The futuristic armored suits and vehicles are impressive, as are the action sequences. Hong Kong action maestro John Woo joined the production as one of the producers and contributed some stylistic flourishes to some of the battle choreography. His method of introducing slow-motion to highlight an isolated piece of action within a scene is used extensively, as are camera moves that rapidly pull out and swing away from close shots to much wider angles. The filmmakers also introduce the "bullet-time" effect (pioneered in "The Matrix") into the animated film for an impressive shot. While the action sequences are thrilling, scenes featuring crowds of people have that awkward marionette look typical of motion capture. The cell-animation look makes the film a little warmer than a motion capture film, but it's still an emotionally distancing film. The characters' faces and eyes seem flat and dead. The faces move and express anger, fear, etc. but there's this creepy lifelessness to them that is like staring at a formica countertop. The story feels particularly derivative, using elements that have been well-worn in dozens of other manga, anime, and live-action science-fiction films. The influence of the "Matrix" films hangs over the story, as does the Skynet satellite idea from "The Terminator" series and many elements from the original "Ghost in the Shell." It's clear that a tremendous amount of design and technical work went into "Appleseed: Ex Machina" but perhaps some more effort needed to be expended on crafting a more original story; one that's worthy of the visuals. The BD release presents the elaborately designed mecha with a great deal of smoothness, detail, and shine. The costumes (like Deunan's two Prada-designed outfits or her sexualized battle suits) seem physically tangible at times, and surfaces that are metallic or rubbery have been given a particularly clean and stable presentation. There is a rich level of detail in the original animation as well as in the 1080p BD image, but there are instances of shimmering with extremely fine horizontal lines. The source would appear to be a direct to HD digital encode instead of a film element transfer and the colors are vibrant and dense. The palette is enormous, though the predominant colors on display are a multitude of gray tones, some within very dark scenes. The different tones are always clear and never become muddy or indistinct. Note: the opening of the film is meant to create the look of a corrupted video signal, so don't be alarmed at the visual errors contained in the prologue. The Japanese 5.1 Dolby Digital track is excellent. The disc packaging incorrectly states that the Japanese track is 2.0 only, but thankfully that's not the case. The 5.1 track is excellent with sweeping sound effect usage, which helps underline the presence of flying machinery and helicopters that frequently move through the soundscape and give the viewer a greater sense of the world of Olympus. Gunfire and explosions are crisp and cleanly recorded, but could use a tad more weight in the LFE channel. Sound effects are well-mixed and involving. The chittering, zipping sounds used to accompany the metallic tentacles near the finale are well-chosen and effective. The Japanese track is preferred over the somewhat overwrought English dub. The commentary track features Joseph Chou, one of the producers of the film and animation historian Jerry Beck. It's an interesting chat, from a viewpoint that's almost on the fringe of the production. The three handsome featurettes all average 15 minutes in length and are presented in 1080p. "Team-up: John Woo and Shinji Aramaki" discusses the collaboration between director Aramaki with consulting producer John Woo, whose contributions seem to have been limited but memorable. Some footage of Woo in conference with the producers, and clips of his video wishing them luck, as he went on to another production, are included within them, but no interview footage is presented. Japanese culture expert Patrick Macias (author of Tokyoscope and others), Dark Horse Comics representative Carl Horn, and others discuss the origins of "Appleseed," both the manga and animated adaptations in "The Appleseed Chronicles." "Revolution: Animating Ex Machina" focuses on the motion capture and other techniques used to make the film, with a particular emphasis on the English language dub. "East Meets West" basically discusses the evolution of anime enthusiasm in the United States and its stylistic origins. While all of the featurettes are well-shot and their choice of participants is solid, there's an amusing lack of specific visual reference within them. For example, when discussing Woo's stature and career, not a single poster or image from his films is displayed. Instead, black and white stills of some anonymous caucasion production person dressed in a black suit pointing a gun are used to convey Woo's films. The same kind of thing is done in the anime discussion, where anime-style drawings are shown instead of specific references. Giant monsters are conveyed by a guy in a cardboard costume and mask, instead of a clip or image from UltraMan or Godzilla. Anything that's not an "Appleseed" character is only hinted at or alluded to. This is probably inspired by cost or legal considerations, but it doesn't prevent these parts from seeming a bit silly.

Braxton Thomas Hardy was born this morning at 9:59 AM. Robyn called me yesterday from the hospital and said they were going to induce labor and hopefully a baby would be born soon. I thought that he would be born that afternoon, but it wasn't until this morning that I got the call from Lori.
Jamie went over to Mesquite to see him and took this picture with her phone and then e-mailed it to me. He is so cute especially for a new born baby. Robyn was the most beautiful baby I had ever seen. She looked like a rosy cheeked doll. So it is no surprise that she has had a beautiful baby.
Since Braxton has a hat on his black hair is covered up. Lori said that he had tons of black hair. I could hear him crying and Lori said he came out that way. So he has a good set of lungs. I can't wait to see him, but I will wait until Robyn gets home and hopefully will get some badly needed rest, then I will go over to Mesquite next week sometime to see him. It is so neat to have another g. grandson in the family. Mom and baby are doing great.
I had to add this picture of Braxton as it shows all that beautiful black hair. We could see his black hair in the Ultra Sound that Robyn had a few months ago so I was sure he would have a lot of hair when he was born.. He is so sweet, and I can't wait to hold him next week.

The Sky's The Limit
Each year, architecture and design journal eVolo challenges designers to come up with creative ideas for building vertical living space. The entries are scored on their innovative use of current and future technologies which would provide living space which is both aesthetically pleasing and environmentally sustainable. The results often look like something dreamed up for a science fiction or fantasy movie.
The results of the 2013 eVolo Skyscraper Competition have just been announced, with three named winners and 24 listed honorable mentions out of the 625 projects which were submitted from 83 countries across the world.
The top three design winners as reported in their press release this week:
"The first place was awarded to Derek Pirozzi from the United States, for his project "Polar Umbrella". The proposal is a buoyant skyscraper that rebuilds the arctic ice caps by reducing the surface's heat gain and freezing ocean water. In addition, the super-structure is equipped with a desalinization plant and solar powered research facilities and eco-tourist attractions.
"The recipients of the second place are Darius Maïkoff and Elodie Godo from France, for their "Phobia Skyscraper". The project seeks to revitalize an abandoned industrial area of Paris, France, through an ingenious system of prefabricated housing units. Its modularity allows for a differentiation of various programs and evolution in time.
"The third place was awarded to Ting Xu and Yiming Chen from China, for their project "Light Park", a floating skyscraper that takes new development within large cities to the sky. The project allows for a continuous growth of the world's mega-cities by providing adequate infrastructure, housing, commercial, and recreational areas."
Check out more information about each of these designs as well as renderings and descriptions of six of the designs which received honorable mentions on the eVolo website. You may also read about some of the design winners from 2012 which Jim Kollaer pointed out last year.
While these may seem like pure fantasy, perhaps some may lead to actual advancements. After all, fifty years ago who could have imagined high-speed bullet trains, the International Space Station, world-wide communication via phones that we carry in our pockets, or even a World Wide Web with sites such as Construction Citizen? Imaginative minds like the ones that came up with these skyscraper designs – that's who!

Summaries of EU Legislation
Summaries of EU legislation: direct access to the main summaries page.
Within the framework of the EU's policy to combat trafficking in human beings, the Commission is keen to stimulate a policy debate and promote a coherent approach to this issue.
Commission communication of 20 November 1996 to the Council and the European Parliament on trafficking in women for the purpose of sexual exploitation.
In November 1993 the Council adopted a set of recommendations to combat trafficking in human beings. In June 1996 the first European conference on trafficking in women was held in Vienna. It was organised by the Commission and brought together players from various sections of society (universities, NGOs, police and immigration services, government and parliaments). One of the measures proposed by the conference was the development of a comprehensive action plan with a structured approach.
The communication takes up these proposals and formulates practical solutions to combat the phenomenon of trafficking in women from third countries who are brought to the European Union and sexually exploited through intimidation. This problem is linked to that of trafficking in children, although the latter requires specific responses which are discussed in another communication from 1996.
Information on this phenomenon, and in particular accurate figures with which to evaluate it, is elusive. The International Organisation for Migration estimates at 500 000 the number of victims, increasing numbers of whom come from Central and Eastern Europe and the Newly Independent States. Whole networks have been set up that have political support and significant economic resources. Often, trafficking in human beings is also linked to other forms of crime (drug trafficking, money laundering).
The Commission would like an integrated policy to be put in place with the participation of all the players mentioned in point 1. This policy could cover several areas.
Interdisciplinary proposals
It is planned to:
- adopt a programme intended for those responsible for combating trafficking in human beings and the sexual exploitation of children (the STOP programme);
- obtain reliable data on the various aspects of trafficking in human beings by financing and disseminating studies and research;
- improve coordination between the Member States in terms of collecting and exchanging information and in terms of work in international bodies such as the Council of Europe;
- encourage dialogue between NGOs in the EU and in third countries;
- carry out information campaigns intended for women in their countries of origin and also intended to discourage potential clients within the EU.
Training for officials responsible for immigration, asylum and external borders could be funded by two of the EU's programmes (STOP and Sherlock). Victims who agree to testify against traffickers could be granted a temporary residence permit until the end of judicial proceedings.
Judicial cooperation
Between 1900 and 1950 various international instruments were adopted to combat trafficking in human beings and prostitution but none has been ratified by the Member States. To increase knowledge of the legislation in force in each Member State, an inventory of applicable national legislation should be drawn up. The third countries concerned should also be encouraged to apply criminal penalties against traffickers. At EU level, joint action to set up judicial cooperation covering trafficking in women will be considered. Lastly, it would be useful if this trade were penalised in a similar fashion in all the Member States.
Police cooperation
To facilitate cooperation between the Member States' police forces, trafficking in human beings has been made part of the remit of the Europol Drugs Unit, and people are designated in each Member State as national contact points. A directory of specialists in the fight against crime, with the fight against trafficking in human beings being a priority, is currently being drawn up. Training police forces to raise awareness of the problem of trafficking and to provide an appropriate response to victims will be developed, notably under the " Oisin " programme. This police cooperation will be extended to third countries, particularly those in Central and Eastern Europe.
Social and employment cooperation
This is an extensive area. Apart from the information campaigns already mentioned, it is planned to combat social exclusion and reintegrate victims of trafficking through the existing social, educational and health programmes. Assistance will be given to Member States which want to set up reception and rehabilitation centres. As regards employment, stricter criteria on working conditions have been drawn up by certain Member States in order to combat exploitation. Exchange of information on best practice and coordination between both social and health inspectorates and police forces should help better identify victims of trafficking. Specific training for social and health personnel could be organised to help reintegrate victims.
Cooperation with third countries
Action is planned in the general framework of development cooperation. For the countries of Central and Eastern Europe and the Newly Independent States, the Democracy programmes (protection of human rights) and LIEN (for NGOs in the social sector) are the main instruments in the fight against trafficking in human beings. The legislative framework in these countries must be developed and cross-border cooperation activities to prevent illegal immigration could be considered. The African, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) countries are also the beneficiaries of activities supporting human rights. The Commission plans to use the European Development Fund to strengthen action taken on three fronts: prevention, training and reintegration. As regards Latin American, Asian and Mediterranean countries, preventive action is planned (improving girls' education and the status of women) as are reintegration measures in cooperation with NGOs.
The annexes show the list of actions proposed by the Commission, extracts from the main texts on trafficking in human beings and a subject bibliography.

Magna Squeezing More Profit From Mercedes Boom
Ari AltstedterMagna International Inc., North America's top autoparts stock in the past six months, says it can squeeze more profit from Europe as it moves factories east to feed booming U.S. demand for German cars.
Magna foresees margins of 4 percent to 5 percent at its European operations in the next three to four years, from 1 percent last year, as it spends $100 million to shift manufacturing operations east, Chief Financial Officer Vince Galifi said.
"As our footprint continues to shift to the eastern part of Europe we're anticipating continued improvement in operating margins," Galifi said by phone on June 14 from Aurora, Ontario where the company is based.
Magna has been benefiting from partnerships with German automakers such as Daimler AG, maker of Mercedes-Benz, Bayerische Motoren Werke AG and Volkswagen AG. The carmakers are making inroads in the U.S. as auto sales post their best start to the year since 2007. U.S. sales may rise to 15.1 million this year from 14.5 million last year, according to the average estimate of 18 analysts surveyed by Bloomberg in January. Sales reached 16.1 million in 2007, according to data from Bloomberg Industries.
The auto rebound propelled Magna stock to a record yesterday, bringing gains in the past six months to 45 percent, the most among 15 North American autoparts stocks tracked by Bloomberg. The shares fell 0.5 percent to C$71.20 at 4:42 p.m. today, giving Magna a market value of C$16.6 billion ($16 billion).
Dividend Growth
The company's price to earnings ratio of 12 is below the 14 North American Industry average. Twelve analysts recommend buying the stock, six say hold and three advise selling, with the average 12-month price target at C$73.42, according to analyst ratings compiled by Bloomberg. Magna is projected to boost its quarterly dividend to 35 Canadian cents in March, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
"Our shareholders should expect the dividend -- with the cash generation we have -- that it's going to continue to grow," Galifi said.
Magna is looking at Hungary, Poland, Russia, Serbia and Turkey as possible sites for eight new manufacturing facilities in Eastern Europe while it adds only one in Western Europe and considers reducing operations in Germany and Belgium, with an eye to reducing labor costs, he said.
Shake Tree
The company currently has about one third of its European manufacturing operations in the eastern half of the continent, and it could incur more restructuring costs next year and the year after as it seeks to increase that percentage, he said.
"I think the fact they really took on this restructuring in their European operations will continue to bear fruit," said Jeff Nelson, a St. Louis, Missouri-based analyst with Edward Jones & Co. who recommends buying the stock. "We were happy to see them really shake the tree in Europe and try to right-size their operations."
The move comes as record joblessness caused by recession push European car sales to a 20-year low.
Registrations dropped 5.9 percent to 1.08 million vehicles in May from 1.15 million a year earlier, the Brussels-based European Automobile Manufacturers' Association, or ACEA, said June 18. The figure was the lowest for the month since 1993.
"European production volumes have come down in the last few years, but when you look at our overall sales in Europe, our sales are actually up," Galifi said. "A big part of it relates to our customer mix in Europe."
U.S. Models
He credits domestic German auto sales along with German exports to the U.S. and China for the resiliency. Mercedes-Benz U.S. sales rose 10.2 percent in the year through May from the same period last year, according to researcher Autodata Corp. BMW sales have gained 8.2 percent in that same period and Volkswagen's Audi sales have jumped 15 percent and have posted record sales for 29 straight months. Europe accounts for about 41 percent of Magna's revenue.
A Magna factory in Graz, Austria assembles Daimler's Mercedes-Benz G-Class sports utility vehicle which saw a 35 percent rise in sales last year, Sebastian Wahle, a spokesman for Daimler said yesterday in an e-mailed statement.
Magna will benefit from similarly favorable exposure to popular models from U.S. automakers, RBC Capital Markets analysts led by Joseph Spak said in a note dated June 11. RBC says Magna is an important supplier for models like the Chevy Silverado, GMC Sierra and Chevy Cruze, all of which will benefit from low inventory and strong demand.
"You don't want to be on the car that's 99 out of 100, you want to be on those kind of top platforms, those top tiers of what's in demand today," said Edward Jones' Nelson. "They've done a good job of that."
Construction Boost
Trucks are a particular area of opportunity for Magna as the contributions the company makes to General Motors' K2XX truck platform, the basis for the Chevy Silverado, GMC Sierra, Chevy Tahoe, GMC Yukon and Chevrolet Suburban, have increased to $1,750 per vehicle from $1,500, Galifi said.
"As the residential construction industry continues to pick up in North America our view is that the requirement for utility type vehicles should increase," Galifi said. "So our view is that is going to benefit us."
Magna raised its 2013 sales expectations to a range of $32.6 billion to $34 billion when it reported first quarter results in May, compared with an earlier forecast of $32 billion to $33.4 billion in March. Magna now expects its operating margin will be in the mid-to-high 5 percent range, compared with earlier estimates of mid-5 percent.
First-quarter net income was $1.57 a share compared with $1.46 a year earlier. Sales rose 9.1 percent to a record $8.36 billion from the year-ago quarter.
Slight Premium
Magna has below average revenue "but trades at a slight premium to other cyclical suppliers, which keeps us on the sidelines," Patrick Archambault, an analyst with Goldman Sachs & Co. with a sell rating on the company, wrote in a May 20 note.
Frank Stronach, who founded the company as a one-man tool-and-die shop in 1957, stepped down from the board of directors last November. He remains honorary chairman. Don Walker became sole chief executive officer the same year after sharing the role with Stronach for the previous five.
"What I can credit is the management having a laser focus on profitability, on return on capital," Mike Simpson, who helps mange C$6.5 billion in assets, including Magna shares, as a portfolio manager at Sentry Investments, said in a phone interview June 12. "Don Walker and his team are focused on making Magna the best auto parts manufacturer."

What he remembered: His clothing size.
What he didn't remember: Everything else.
Navy SEAL Mitchell Shaw woke up one morning with no clue as to who he was. And the items hidden in his possession were no help: an address, along with a .22 caliber side arm. The address led him to the Lazy 8 Ranch - and its beautiful manager, Becca Keyes, who made him believe he might have a future. Even if he wasn't sure about his past.
The gun was another story altogether....

Addicted Audiofile!
"Narration is painful"
This story could have been a decent listen, nothing to be on the edge of your seat for, but an ok story. However....the narration was horrific. She was so monotone, no emotion, no voice variation between characters - even male parts. It was like she was just reading off the page, and frankly it was painful to get through because of it.
Hello, my name is Teresa and I'm an addict.
"Sweet addition."
Another good addition to the Tall, Dark and Dangerous series. It does get better with each book. A sweet romance, very little mystery. Defiantly read the series in order due to the fact the characters intertwine in the books. Read Troubleshooters series, they will suck you in and you will become obsessed with finishing them.
"Fight between Mitch and Parker"
I did not like the story line where becca put herself between Parker and Mitch,unbelievable.
"Narrator Ruined It."
The narrator made this hard to enjoy, and ruined the story.
"Awesome story"
Always a pleasure listening to these stories. Just the right mix of mystery, suspense, and romance. The characters and their interactions are great!
"Good Story, Painful narration"
Probably not. The story seemed to be a good one, but the narration was lacking....excitement. No...variety. She tried her hardest. You could tell she was trying to get the excitement of the story out there, but she sounded like she was reading to a bunch of kindergarten kids! Not something you want in book like this.
she could have put a little more passion in her performance. She tried to get excitement and anger across, but she just didn't deliver.

Lock your cars, Webster!
I was poking around the Webster section of the D&C's website yesterday, when I came across a police report about some car break-ins that happened earlier this month.
Actually, the word "break-in" is a misnomer since all the cars involved were unlocked. Apparently someone — or a group of someones — likes to go through neighborhoods and rifle through unlocked cars. It's easy pickin's. According to the report, these most recent instances happened on Dibbles Trail, Schlegel Road, Hightower Way, Thomas Drive, Scenic Circle and Viking Circle. Power and hand tools, GPS devices, steam cleaners and a camera were stolen.
We got hit by a similar series of pilferings a few summers ago. Several of our neighbors also got hit, and not coincidentally, only those whose cars were unlocked. We didn't lose too much (we didn't have anything really valuable in the car) but it was aggravating because we knew it could have been easily prevented.
If you watch the news, you see similar reports crop up frequently. Every neighborhood is vulnerable. But you don't have to be.
Simply locking your car every night seems to be enough to deter these delinquents. (We make sure we do that every night now.) Don't leave valuable items in the car (who knows when they might decide to start smashing windows for GPS units?). And if you see or hear anything weird in your neighborhood late at night, or even if you hear a dog barking, call 911.

trying to get the code to you
Steve, I tried to reply to your message but I got an error saying you wqere not accepting messages through the private board, (or something to that effect).
Anyway, we have the perl version fix for the Ezula killer and Surf+ killer but we haven't had time to fully test it. Our preliminary tests show it to be working VERY well but we hadn't planned on actually releasing it until tomorrow. But I'm confident enough in the script and I trust you to let me know of any glitches so I don't have a problem with getting the script for your server a little early. Just let me know how to get it to you. You can e-mail me at email@example.com or email@example.com |

Chuck D Says Public Enemy Doesn't 'Kiss A–,' Talks New LP
When Chuck D talks, people listen. The outspoken leader of the legendary hip-hop group Public Enemy is not much for holding his tongue on any subject. With more than 30 years in the hip-hop game, the fearless Mista Chuck has seen and done it all. Now one of rap's most respected voices sits down with the BoomBox to discuss the upcoming Public Enemy album, the revolutionary days of his socially conscious, controversial crew, his thoughts on today's hip-hop scene and what makes Jay-Z a great MC.
So let's talk about the status of Public Enemy. There has been a lot of talk of the group releasing an album partially funded by the fans. Is this unique project still happening?
Yes, there will be a new Public Enemy album. We are going to drop 'Most of Our Heroes Don't Appear on a Stamp' late next year. We have never been in the music business to make friends. We've never been the type to kiss ass. We've always strived not to repeat ourselves album to album.
What do you believe is the main difference in the hip-hop scenes between say the late '80s/early '90s when Public Enemy was dropping groundbreaking, controversial albums like 'It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back' and 'Fear of a Black Planet' and today's Internet-driven hip-hop scene?
I like the fact that the technology has leveled the playing field for artists. It's given us the ability to release music without being under a record label. Unfortunately, another difference is today making music is merely about product and profit. The few artists who are signed with the record companies left are not encouraged to take real distinct different roads.
Artists are not being pushed to stand out amongst the crowd, right?
Right. There's no patience for the business plan and there's no patience for an artist plan. So it boils down to artists being forced to be more similar than different. Back when you had, say, an Eric B. & Rakim, Queen Latifah, Boogie Down Productions, N.W.A. and De La Soul, we all were encouraged to be different. Because if you didn't have your own sound your ass was left behind [laughs].
Do you sit back and marvel at how diverse hip-hop was in those days?
It was an interesting time. You have to understand, in 1987, Public Enemy was doing the Def Jam tour and we shared a bus with Stetsasonic, who has to go down as one of the most underrated rap groups of all time. The next year they came out with a great album called 'In Full Gear.' Now out of that bus ride with Stetsasonic you had Daddy-O, Delite, Wise, Frukwan, and Prince Paul. You had the guys behind 'It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back' coming out of that bus ride. And then you had De La Soul's '3 Feet High and Rising,' which was produced by Prince Paul. There was a lot of talent on that bus. But I'm always looking ahead.
Do you think in general music artists today are taking full advantage of the ability to record a song and have it delivered to their fans on the Internet the same day?
I don't think that's the issue. The biggest problem area is if an artist sees something that is significant, the tendency now is to stray away from it. I think right now if you have an Alabama rapper and they can't rap about tornadoes because they don't think it will sell records, then that's a problem. If you can't make a bunch of songs about what happened in Japan then you know you have a bunch of artists that's just in it to be loved and accepted. And like I said before, Public Enemy has never been in it to be loved. We came into hip-hop to make a statement. You take it or leave it. That's contrary to, "I'm only in this business to get money." So yeah, you can make a living from this, but what I'm saying is nobody will have power over my words.
It goes back to when I said rappers are afraid to call bulls— with the way Donald Trump was going at Obama with all that birth certificate stuff. It's like a dude driving a car, right? You see your friend's mom and she's on the corner walking. And you are going in the right direction, but you are like, "Damn, I know that's her. But I'm going to just go on by because I don't know where she's going." And somebody will tell you, "Come on! That's some bulls—.' This dude's mom is walking in the same direction. We recognize bulls— when it happens. You have to call it out.
What's your take on someone like a Jay-Z, who has been able to successfully walk the fine line of being a highly commercial artist and, for the most part, critically respected?
The mainstream and the powers that be look at Jay-Z in the vein of how much money he's made instead of what he has brought to the table lyrically. They don't know what he rhymes about. The average cat doesn't even know what Jay-Z is about other than, "Oh, he has a lot of money and he raps." You have to understand why Jay-Z is a great MC. He's like LL Cool J. People sleep on LL. He was very dominant; has that [witty wordplay]. It's like someone being a big fan of Michael Jordan but they can't tell you what year he came in or what team he played for after the Bulls. They can't tell you any of that s—. Fans today are so brand-oriented. Sometimes the branding has branded their brains so much that they can't get away from the facts and talent.
Public Enemy has been together for more than 25 years. There's talk that you will be the next hip-hop act to be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Is this something you think about?
Well, I'm a fan of music. I'm a musicologist. It's like sports. I don't play in the NBA, but if I were to play I would love to be elected to the Basketball Hall of Fame. I've always fought for rap music getting its respect. When Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five and Run-D.M.C. got [into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame], the genie was let out of the bottle. But it's strange that people are talking about Public Enemy going in when Afrika Bambaataa, Kool Herc, LL Cool J and the Beastie Boys are not being mentioned in the same light. It would be really weird to go in before those guys.
Greatness. It must be nice.
I try not to think about it too much. I'm just a regular cat. I drive through all parts of America and fly through all parts of the world. I'm planes, trains and automobiles [laughs]. Right now I'm on my way to go speak at Stanford University. I'm not on that star s—.

Thanks for your input! I think I'll stick with the suggestion then.
Imprisoning me
All I feel
Supple Lamb Leather
I've had at least 5 vivid dreams about receiving various TOJ jackets. One of them also involved TOJ being setup down the road from me. I'm in Australia.
I used to think people who dreamt about TOJ were dumb.
Then it happened to me.
I remember being surprised at how soft the calfskin was. I felt really stupid for not just getting lamb instead.
maybe they ninja shipped without tracking like dayback
What's the best way to wash a TOJ0 or a moto? Just with hand and soap? What about the wool?

Man Replacement
My other pal, M, loved Kevin's no-nonsense nature and his 1978 GMC Sierra, named Kevin Junior, that he used for his hauling business
By Novella Carpenter
L'S HEART had been broken. Being her dutiful friend, I let her cry on my shoulder, and I listened to how they had met (for the 12th timeon a deserted beach in Baja). I took in details of the breakup (him flaky, she needy), and I gave good advice (time heals all things; this too will pass; that jerk, you're great). After one more big sob, L wiped her eyes and said, "You know what I really loved about him?" (His hands? His eyes? His devotion to a raw-food diet?) "What?" I asked, squeezing her hand. "His truck. His giant 4x4 truck."
This is the second time a very femme girlfriend has expressed the need to replace her lost man with a truck, so I think I've got a trend on my hands. Very feminine girls often fall for macho guys, those fellas with construction jobs, mustaches and, yes, the attendant big rig with six wheels and a power winch.
My other pal, M, loved Kevin's no-nonsense nature and his 1978 GMC Sierra, named Kevin Junior, that he used for his hauling business. Was M was the kind of girl who sat real close to her man while he drove? Yes, she was. She even occasionally drove Kevin Junior on jaunts to the dog park and to pick up hair supplies. Then one day Kevinand Kevin Juniorsplit town. "I miss the truck more than I miss him," she sighed.
What's a girl to do? Find another guy with a big truck? Or why not bypass that whole messy love thing and just buy the truck yourself? L and M took my advice and began shopping, because replacing a man with a truck is sometimes the easiest way out of heartbreak. Like two battered veterans, they searched for love in, you guessed it, the classified ads.
Because I write a car column, L and M were depending on me to help them with their purchase, so I was privy to the angst of their truck quest. "Here, listen to this one," L said over the phone one night: "2003 Dodge 1/2 Ton Truck, Single Cab SLT, 30,000 miles, white exterior, black & gray attractive interior, AM/FM/CD player. All power. $12,000. What do you think?"
"Sounds good, L. I mean, attractive interior and music to boot." "Yeah, andall power! Wait, what does that mean again?" "Power steering, power brakes, power windows." "OK, thanks. I wonder if a half-ton is big enough?" L pondered before hanging up.
Then M came over shortly afterward, positively blushing: she had gone on a test drive. Now, a test drive for these gals is the equivalent of a first date. She reported that she had driven a Ford 250. "It smelled really good inside," she said. "What kind of engine does it have?" Blank stare. "Is it automatic or manual?" Blank stare.
There have been countless articles, websites and probably blogs about how to buy a truck. Walk around the whole thing, look for rust spots; watch out for too clean an engine; on the test drive, use all the gears. But how on earth do you successfully buy a truck to replace a lost lover?
For M, the steps were easy. First, from a distance, does the truck look mammoth? Second, did her heart skip a beat as she got closer to the vehicle? She walked around the rig, but she wasn't inspecting for rust, she was looking for the odd detailsa bumper sticker, a minor dent that showed character or a special feature like running boards with lights. The most important consideration was the interior. When you settle into the seat, is it like a hug? Does it smell goodmaybe like leather or dusty wheat?
When she took it out on the test run, M was oblivious to the performance, she just wanted to be comforted by the raw power at the beck and call of her sparkly painted toes. However, the deal didn't go throughit was too early for her; it just seemed to be like rushing things. L and M are still out there, searching for the perfect vehicle. Just as guys have blow-up dolls, sometimes girls have to resort to big, huge trucks.

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – Jimmie Johnson made history by hoisting his fourth consecutive Sprint Cup Series trophy at Homestead-Miami Speedway, a feat that has never been accomplished in NASCAR competition.
Now, the eyes of the racing community will their turn attention to Daytona International Speedway and the 52nd annual Daytona 500 on Sunday, Feb. 14 – the prestigious season-opening event for the 2010 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series season.
Johnson, the 2006 Daytona 500 champion, will attempt to capture a fifth straight NASCAR Sprint Cup beginning with "The Great American Race."
During the post-race news conference, Johnson's crew chief Chad Knaus said preparations are well underway for the No. 48 Hendrick Motorsports team.
"We're already well in motion for 2010," Knaus said. "We've been working on that for a couple of months now. So we've got Daytona cars in the queue, one of them almost done, and we've got Fontana/Las Vegas cars rolling up through the system right now. So we're well into preparation for next year."
The 2010 Daytona 500 will give race fans their first look at the new driver-team combinations. Among the noticeable changes will include:
• Martin Truex Jr., the 2009 Daytona 500 pole winner, behind the wheel of the No. 56 Toyota for Michael Waltrip Racing.
• Jamie McMurray, the 2007 Coke Zero 400 winner, reuniting with team owner Chip Ganassi behind the wheel of the No. 1 Dodge.
• Brad Keselowski kicking off his first full season in NASCAR Sprint Cup competition with Penske Racing in the No. 12 Dodge
And Daytona International Speedway will be boasting its own set of changes. The start time for the 2010 Daytona 500 is 1 p.m., 2 ½ hours earlier than the 2009 Daytona 500 and the earliest start time since 2003.
Speedweeks 2010 will also feature a racing tripleheader with Daytona 500 Qualifying Presented By Kroger, which secures the prestigious front row for the 52nd annual Daytona 500, part of a tripleheader day of racing on Saturday, Feb. 6 with the 32nd annual Budweiser Shootout and Lucas Oil Slick Mist 200.
In addition, race fans visiting the "World Center of Racing" will noticed some additions to the 480-acre property.
The phase one of the frontstretch renovation project will be complete and bring two additional gate entrances behind the Keech and Lockhart Grandstands, move the Turn 1 tram stop closer to the center of the frontstretch grandstands, a new exterior pedestrian boulevard that will eventually stretch from Turn 1 to Turn 4 and improved directional signage, landscaping and lighting.
On the Superstretch, race fans will have a new 136,000-square foot interactive fan area complete with amenities such as a go-kart track, kids play area, Ferris Wheel, show cars and a fan hospitality area called the SPEED Trackside Tavern, among other attractions.
Tickets for all Speedweeks 2010 events, including the 52nd annual Daytona 500, are available online at www.daytonainternationalspeedway.com or by calling 1-800-PITSHOP.

What is a waste is that our elections have to be decided by a 50% plus one vote to win. We should change our rules to reflect how other states decide the outcome, a simple majority vote. The candidate with the most votes wins, no mater how many are running for a position. We waste so much money on stupidity.

A recent poll shows how loyal you are to your special someone.

Is 2010 the official year of cheating, or what? Celebrities and everyday civilians alike seem to be hopping into bed with just about anyone who comes knocking. Due to this unsightly epidemic, we asked our readers if they have ever gotten it on with someone who wasn't their significant other, and we were very pleased with the majority of the responses we received…
- No! And I never will: 47%
- Yes, and he still doesn't know: 42%
- Yes, and then we broke up: 9%
- No…but never say never: 2%

After two years of resisting illegal logging and organized crime, indigenous people in the town of Cheran Mexico demand justice for their assassinated community members and respect for their autonomous government.
ANDALUSIA KNOLL, PRODUCER, TRNN: On April 15, 2011, the people of Cherán, a largely indigenous town in the state of Michoacán, Mexico, rose up to put an end to illegal logging and insecurity connected to organized crime in the region, marking the second anniversary of the uprising.
The community of Cherán is celebrating their reforestation efforts and the autonomous forms of government that they have put in place.
A group of women were among the first community members to prevent the illegal loggers from entering the town with the trees that they had cut down. They tried to prevent them from entering, and when the loggers refused to comply, other town residents joined in and set fire to their trucks. They set up fogatas, or bonfire barricades at all the main entrances to the town, and also on corners throughout the rest of Cherán, some which continue to this day.
ROSA, CHERÁN COMMUNITY MEMBER (SUBTITLED TRANSL.): We organized the bonfire barricades, and then on April 15, when the people rose upand all the women organized here in Cherán because they were destroying the forest. And here is where the [loggers] were passing through. We couldn't do anything, because they threatened us. But then on April 15, all the people rose up and took on all the clearcutting loggers, and we ran all of them out of town. Some of them left the town running.
The bad ones wanted to enter here. We were posted at every corner. We were alert, all the people in the streets, all of the people, the whole town. We started to say, how are we going to do this? And we decided to erect a bonfire barricade. And this is where it all started.
KNOLL: They started a ronda comunitaria, or a community guard, in line with their indigenous Purépecha tradition to secure the community and patrol the forest ensuring that no one is illegally clearcutting. Over the past two years, close to 100 people have joined the voluntary-run ronda to dedicate themselves to protecting the forest and promoting sustainable forest use, just as their ancestors did.
MEMBER OF THE RONDA, CHERÁN COMMUNITY GUARD: [incompr.] Cheránas hacienda that we were doing something good, and a lot of people, you know, they said, this is good what you are doing, keep doing it. And a lot of people started coming with us. They say, I want to be in the group to, in la ronda. And we said, alright, you're welcome. You know.
But you know what [incompr.] you know, what we're doing. This is dangerous. This is not just, like, a job. You know, this is [incompr.] But they were saying that they wanted to, 'cause they were from there, from Cherán, and they want to do something for the town. You know. So, yeah, we started.
And finally, right now, it'swe have everything on control, you know, with a little bit of control. Maybe there's one or two still cutting trees, but not like they used to. So that's what we're trying to do and that's how we formed. So now we're, like, a lot of us.
And people, you know, they recognize us, that we're doing something real good fornot just for us, for the whole world, right. I mean, this is a green planet. That's what we're trying to do, save it.
KNOLL: Over the past two years in Cherán, over 13 community members have been killed while attending to their animals and crops in the forest or while sustainably harvesting trees. This lack of security has led the people of Cherán to separate themselves from the local corrupt government and implement a traditional form of government previously seen in indigenous Purépecha communities. They set up a community council of 12 elders to govern the town, as opposed to one mayor.
JOSE MERCED, CHERÁN STORYTELLER/SHAMAN (SUBTITLED TRANSL.): In our case, we have a great responsibility to recuperate the community consciousness, to start with something elemental. Brothers and sisters, we have a great task at hand, to start to raise consciousness about what it really means to be a "comunero" or community member.
Comunero is a very deep word. It is not a slogan or tag. It is a way of life and a cell to build a new society, a new humanity. This is how I see it, a grand responsibility. The result of consciousness raising is realizing that we are universal beings and part of the universe, we are not owners of the universe, this according to the indigenous philosophy of our wise ancestors. We are not owners of the land. We are part of the land.
KNOLL: Over the past 30 years, the state of Michoacán, where Cherán is located, has seen large tides of migration to the United States. Community members in Cherán see their autonomy and self-defense as a way of curbing immigration and preserving their indigenous culture.
DAVID ROMERO, CHERÁN LAWYER AND COMUNERO (SUBTITLED TRANSL.): This is something very important for us to achieve to maintain our community within our community. That's to say, while we reverse the effects of neoliberalism, we will be able to have more satisfying lives within our own community, just as our ancestors did. Our ancestors didn't have to migrate, because we have the right conditions to lead dignified lives.
Now this is the work that we all have to do, all of the communities, not just the community of Cherán, all the communities of the world, to reverse the logic of neoliberalism, which makes us believe that processing raw materials is the only way to fulfill the necessities of our people, of our communities and ourselves as individuals. We have to return to the fundamental, return to our cosmovision, and understand that happiness isn't only achieved with material things.
KNOLL: While the town celebrated the anniversary, a fire blazed in one of the forests nearby. These kind of forest fires are common due to a lack of respect for natural resources, and also reckless behavior on behalf of organized crime groups in the area. The community ronda and various volunteers attended to the fires to try to put them out. This blaze reiterated the need for reforestation efforts.
The Cherán Committee for the Common Good started a greenhouse project shortly after the uprising to grow baby pine trees. Their greenhouses are home now to over 1.5 million pine tree saplings, and the project serves as a crucial source of work for 12 community members.
LETICIA MEDINA, COMMITTEE FOR COMMON GOOD (SUBTITLED TRANSL.): On this end it has been very good, to avoid or at least curtail migration. There aren't many jobs here. For me it has been something very good, a very good project, because there exists this type of work, because it gives employment to more people. With migration as it is, there are many women who are alone who also need money. This is a big help for these kind of women. Also for the men. It has been a great advantage. The community has plans for more beneficial projects to curb migration.
KNOLL: While proudly displaying the trees from the reforestation project, people from Cherán shared their feelings on the anniversary.
WILBER TAPIA, COMMITTEE FOR COMMON GOOD (SUBTITLED TRANSL.): You feel great on this day being part of this movement. I live a block from where it all happened. At five in the morning, the people were there rising up in armswe don't mean guns, necessarily, many people with sticks and rocksall of this to prevent the [logging] vehicles from passing through, including rounding up some of those responsible. You feel motivated. You have something to tell the people. And on this side it fills us with joy, because the struggle that's taken place has not been in vain. We're here remembering it on the second anniversary, and it's pretty cool.
KNOLL: While celebrating their autonomy and reforestation efforts, the people of Cherán also solemnly recognized those who have died in the struggle, demanding justice and investigations into their deaths.

Hi there,
it may be a silly issue but is there any chance to put tomtom software in to kenwood DNX5260BT?
best regards to all
I presume this unit is most likely Linux based as it originally runs Garmin navigation. So in theory TomTom could also work on this device as is linux based too, but anyway I really don't think the software can actually be changed by the user with a simple "standard" hack..It's not like many other Chinese 2-DIN units, which are running on WinCE OS, as on those units changing navigation software is a piece of cake in most cases..:D
It is certainly not my business but I really wish to understand, why on earth you would like to swap Garmin for TomTom..? I think Garmin beats Tomtom in all navigation features aspects and it's certainly more reliable (map coverage, route calculation etc..)
best regards
thakks janch for your opinion:)
I just was curious imaybe somebody done it..
and maybe like you said garmin is better but I get used to tomtom and for me works better but its only in my opinion:)
thanks again
You will not have the posibility to install a diferent navigation software on it, can just use Garmin maps, everything is possible....but this devices are not Wince and you have not to much to do with it, just use.
no there are chance to put tomtom on this unit . because the software of garmin unit isn't windows CE.
In this version is proprietary system , the unit is like a nuvi 13xx series .
I tested the firmware of dnx7160 or 9160 , it don't work on this unit . Tested with different boot.bin but the result is the same :
Now I'm searching any issue to put the Nuvi 13xx firmware but I see that the firware is a little bit different in the structure. Anyone know the structure of the nuvi13xx firmware ?
Try to contact with PouchX. You can find him here : Garniak • Zaloguj I thintk this is person who know all things about garmin's firmware.
I forgot - U must to register on this forum to send any question to PouchX.
