MONTICELLO - A Sullivan County jury has found Paul Novak guilty on all counts of killing his wife Catherine and torching her western Sullivan County home on Dec. 13, 2008, to conceal the crime and collect hundreds of thousands of dollars in insurance proceeds.
The verdict came in Friday morning in the third day of deliberations.
Novak was charged with first-degree murder, grand larceny, insurance fraud and arson for strangling Catherine and then setting fire to her Lava home.
Novak walked out of the courtroom in chains, looking stoic as he was led into the jail.
Novak's sister and girlfriend who were in the Sullivan County courtroom said they didn't want to comment and were crying.
"I'm very saddened by it," said Novak's attorney, Gary Greenwald. "I have no concept how they can find him guilty in light of Mr. Decker's testimony." Greenwald was referring to Tom Decker, who was Novak's landlord at the time. He testified that he was watching television at the time and who said he didn't see or hear Novak leave his Long Island apartment.
Greenwald added, "Justice is just being delayed. There will definitely be an appeal."
Sentencing has been set for Dec. 19.
Juror "No. 2" said afterwards: "He did it for the sake of his children, we did it for the sake of the wife."

Gaming fans across London queued for days to buy a new PlayStation 4 — and within an hour of the midnight launch consoles were changing hands on eBay for more than double the £349 retail price. Some sellers were asking up to £2,000.
At Covent Garden, where Sony opened a PS4 lounge, about 400 people queued around the block and rapper Tinie Tempah performed for the first 40. Imran Chowdhury, from Manor Park, said he had camped outside since Monday afternoon just to be the first in line. "Was it worth it?" he said. "I'm still not sure. I'll have to see when I get home and start playing on it."
Ian Chambers, chief digital officer of Game, said demand for the console in the firm's 330 UK stores was quadruple that for its 2006 predecessor. He added: "It's been an incredible response. The anticipation has been at fever pitch."
Sony said: "We have never seen pre-orders like this. It has exceeded all expectations."

Review: Lenovo S10-3t: Half-Netbook, Half-Tablet
This half-netbook, half-tablet would have probably been better if it had just stuck with one genre or the other.
If you love the idea of a portable tablet PC, but can't really come to grips with the lack of a physical keyboard on such devices, Lenovo's S10-3t is here to help. This convertible tablet netbook features a screen that swivels 180 degrees and lies flat, so you can have the conveniences of both a touchscreen and a physical keyboard.
Our review model, which is black and costs $549, features the 1.66GHz Intel Atom N450, 1GB of RAM, a 250GB hard drive, and a 10.1-inch LED multitouch screen. It also has a built-in Webcam and 802.11 b/g/n Wi-Fi. The unit comes with Windows 7 Starter as the operating system.
The Lenovo S10-3t isn't a breathtaking netbook. It has a very shiny (and fingerprint-attracting) cover with a glittery square pattern. Its connections include two USB 2.0 ports, an ethernet port, a VGA-out port, headphone and microphone jacks, and a front-loading SD card slot.
For a 10.1-inch netbook, the S10-3t is pretty slim at just 0.79 inches thick. With the four-cell standard battery, it weighs 2.7 pounds (a larger eight-cell battery raises the weight to 3.3 pounds). This is a good weight for a netbook, but a little on the heavy side for a tablet. Though the larger battery gives you significantly more life than does the standard battery, the battery pack sticks out almost an inch from the back of the netbook and makes holding the device for more than a few minutes awkward and uncomfortable.
I definitely appreciate the full-size physical keyboard--but in tablet mode, you have no virtual keyboard, which can be very annoying if you like to work in that mode. The keys are nice and big, but a little too springy for my taste--they have no weight at all, which makes typing uncomfortable and promotes typos galore.
The trackpad is another story--it's about an inch-and-a-half tall, with two integrated buttons denoted by tiny dots on the lower corners. And it's textured, so there's no mistaking where it is (though, if you blink you might miss it). For what it's worth, the trackpad works nicely. Scrolling is smooth and the buttons are easy to press. It's just so small. Lenovo presumably didn't spend too much time (or real estate) on the trackpad because the good old touchscreen is right in front of you, but still, I would've appreciated something a little larger.
The 1024-by-600-pixel touchscreen is a single-input multitouch display that gives the user a pretty decent experience. It's not the most precise touchscreen we've ever used, but it's good enough to take the place of a trackpad. The IdeaPad has an accelerometer, but it was shaky at best--every time you lay the device flat, it gets confused and picks a random orientation (instead of just sticking with the orientation you had before)--annoying. You also have to wait 3 to 5 seconds as the desktop reorients itself.
No stylus is included, and writing on the screen is pretty much a lost cause. You'll have to find or buy your own stylus if you plan on using the "notes" feature. The screen is also highly glossy--not such an issue if you're using it as a netbook, but a big problem if you're using it as a tablet. The screen is quite reflective, and from some angles you can barely see it at all.
Audio and video are pretty dismal. I couldn't even stream a standard-definition one-minute clip of Family Guy without choppiness and lag, and downloaded video isn't any better. Even the sample preloaded clip (of horses and ducks and other nature things) looks more like a series of still pictures than a video clip. The speakers, located under the screen, are louder than most netbooks but still very flat-sounding. Dolby headphone surround sound gives a much better audio experience--I'd definitely recommend toting headphones around with this netbook.
Because the S10-3t is a half-tablet, Lenovo includes an appropriate amount of touch-friendly software. Along with the requisite 60-day trial of Microsoft Office, you get a suite of apps (dubbed "NaturalTouch") that includes a photo browser, an e-book reader, a notes application, and a media player. And a dedicated button on the lower left corner of the screen will take you straight into NaturalTouch. Lenovo also bundles a number of its own applications, including Lenovo DirectShare, Lenovo VeriFace 3.6, Lenovo VeriTouch, and OneKey Recovery. One app, called BumpTop, displays your desktop as a touch-friendly 3D "desktop."
The Lenovo S10-3t is, at best, decent as a netbook and decent as a tablet. While it's nice to have the functionality of both, I think I'd get better use out of something that was just really good as one or the other--a great netbook or a great tablet would be better than something that's merely mediocre at being both.

HSE to proceed with withdrawal of risk assessment ACOP despite opposition
In June 2012 HSE launched a consultation on proposals to review Approved Codes of Practice (ACOPs) as recommended by Professor Löfstedt's review of health and safety legislation.
The consultation included a proposal to withdraw the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999 (MHSWR) ACOP and to replace it with guidance.
The results of the consultation reveal that HSE plan to proceed with withdrawal of the MHSWR ACOP despite a majority of respondents (52%) objecting to the proposal.
The objections raised by respondents fell into the following main areas:
- Status – downgrading the information from ACOP to 'Guidance' will reduce levels of compliance;
- Accessibility – removal of the information from one place will reduce accessiblity; and
- Confusion – change will erroneously suggest the law has changed and increase misunderstanding.
Other ACOPs relevant to construction, including lifting equipment and confined spaces, were also involved in the consultation. Analysis of comments received and the HSE response have now been published.
Scrapping code to be backed by HSE 'communications handling' plan
HSE justify proceeding with withdrawal of MHSWR ACOP on the basis that there "has been no evidence submitted" to alter the proposed course of action, adding:
"No new issues have been raised by the consultation responses. The negative impacts raised by the respondents will be addressed by the actions taken to replace the ACOP with the suite of guidance.
A communications handling plan will be drawn up to ensure that the information/guidance provided by the ACOP will not be lost and will be covered by guidance which is easier to use.
It will also be made clear that the legal requirements have not and are not changing; these changes will make the requirements easier to understand and therefore assist compliance."

We believe that placing your order in person, rather than by the click of a button, will ensure that you get the right products to meet your store's needs, at the right price. Our knowledgeable staff will review every order individually to make sure you receive exactly what you requested. Call us for individualized, one-on-one service at 877-544-2999.Showcases are a core product of our business, therefore we can recommend the showcases and options will work best for your store. Our sales representatives have a comprehensive knowledge of all the features and details of todays showcase business. Glass showcase displays are used across the world for jewelry, electronics, eyeglasses, cosmetics, gifts, handbags, musical instruments and accessories, cell phone displays, scarves and other gifts and merchandise.
Display cases are good to use if you want to present your goods in an appealing manner, and also keep them secure at the same time. One option is to get freestanding glass display cases, where people can look at the goods from all angles, particularly good for watches, jewelry and china, as people like to see the full picture when purchasing these items.
Modular glass shelving could also be an option, but just doesn't have the security of glass display cases. Display cases are a more expensive type of retail design, but on the overhand it can attract more customers into a shop and it's secure, which is becoming ever increasing important in this day and age. Also you can create effective light effects with glass display cases, which you can't achieve with any other retail fixture.
Let's take a closer look at jewelry showcases. In order to create a comfortable jewelry shopping experience, your jewelry showcases need to be just right. The right jewelry display cases not only show of the beauty of a piece, but keep it nice and secure as well. You can have custom showcase options, like glass bonding and LED showcase lighting. You can even put your logo on a showcase!
Among the best types of jewelry cases are glass display cases, which have a certain charm unmatched by other display cases, because they have classic tall bases with the deiplay area right on top so that your customers can view your merchandise comfortably. They can bring elegance to the most ordinary of offices, corridor, and museum or retail store.
Half vision showcases are also commonly used in jewelry stores because it has more space for displaying. You can use jewelry trays and jewelry displays in all types of jewelry showcases. Some stores use extra vision showcases that are all glass showcases with only a small wood base.
Glass display cases are highly versatile and can also used as trophy display cases at schools and colleges. The glass display case comes in many formats like the freestanding tower showcase , tower display, countertop displays, wall mounts and aisle showcases.
Using glass display showcases also has a psychological affect on customers, as the fragility of the glass influences how the customer views the goods inside the showcase, which add value to these contents.
When planning your showcase setup, space and store layout design is the first consideration. You can get regular straight showcases and corner showcases. You can also get wallcases and glass showcases that can be placed against the wall, or glass display boxes that can be hung on the wall. If you have the store space, consider jewelry pedestal cases and freestanding glass towers along your store.
Retail showcases are secure retail fixtures that you can showcase goods that you want locked away in. If you are selling relatively expensive items, then you can secure display cases with installed showcase locks and other security devices.
Most stores can use register counters for ringing up purchases. Many retail stores use wrap counters at their checkout. Store counters are made of wood with storage on the worker side. We manufacture store counters and store cabinets for all your needs.

OAKLAND — Manager Bob Melvin shuffled the A's batting order and got the type of production he was looking for from the top of the lineup.
Chris Young and Alberto Callaspo, hitting in the Nos. 6 and 8 spots, provided a nice boost as well.
Young and Callaspo homered in the fifth inning as the A's beat the Cleveland Indians 7-3 on Sunday.
"That's always nice when you get contributions all over," Melvin said. "We feel like we have just as good a chance to score down in the lineup as we do up in the lineup."
Jed Lowrie, batting leadoff for only the third time this season, had two hits and scored twice for Oakland. Josh Donaldson drove in three runs as the A's pulled within a half-game of AL West-leading Texas.
One day after being held to a season-low three hits in a 7-1 loss to the Indians, the A's jumped on Cleveland starter Scott Kazmir early.
Lowrie singled and scored in the first, then doubled and scored in the second. Derek Norris added two hits and reached base four times while Donaldson had a pair of RBI singles and also drove in a run on a groundout in the first.
"That's when we're at our best, when we have equal parts and we can trust everybody up and down the lineup," Lowrie said. "That's been our key offensively. I don't think I'm a prototypical leadoff hitter but I get on base a lot."
Young hit his 11th home run off Kazmir (7-6) to break a 3-3 tie in the fifth. Three pitches later, Callaspo followed with his sixth homer and first since being acquired from the Los Angeles Angels in late July.
Ryan Raburn homered for Cleveland, which has lost six of its past seven in Oakland. The Indians dropped seven games behind Detroit in the Central and fell 4½ games behind the A's in the AL wild-card race.
"It's go time," said second baseman Jason Kipnis, who had two of Cleveland's nine hits. "We don't have time to sit around and fell sorry for ourselves about losing two of three here. It's time to take care of business."
Dan Otero (2-0) retired five batters for the win in relief of starter Tommy Milone. Grant Balfour pitched the ninth.
Kazmir had a rough afternoon while pitching on eight days' rest. The left-hander had been moved back after saying he had a "dead arm" after his previous start.
Kazmir gave up a pair of two-out scoring hits in the first two innings. He was hit by Josh Reddick's liner that ricocheted off him and went into right field in the third.
Ahead 5-3, Oakland got a boost when left fielder Yoenis Cespedes threw out Nick Swisher at second base in the seventh when he tried to extend a single. Center fielder Young made a stellar play to rob Michael Brantley of extra bases in the eighth.
Raburn homered in the second, hitting a towering solo shot that bounced high off the wall beyond the center field fence.
Called up from Triple-A Sacramento before the game, Milone ran into trouble in the third following Callaspo's throwing error at third base.
Callaspo made up for the gaffe when he followed Young's solo home run in the fifth with his blast to left.
"You think of him as a slap hitter but every now and then he'll square it up and throw it out of the yard from both sides of the plate," Young said of Callaspo. "He's a special guy to have on your team."
NOTES: As they announced they would do, the A's put pitcher Bartolo Colon on the disabled list. Milone took Colon's roster spot. ... Donaldson has 42 multi-hit games, one more than any player on the A's had in 2012. ... Kazmir had allowed only two home runs total over his previous nine starts. ... Milone struck out five and walked one. ... Left-hander Brett Anderson threw 49 pitches in a rehab start for Triple-A Sacramento and will make at least one appearance in the minors before rejoining the A's. Oakland is also considering putting Anderson into the rotation after originally planning to use him out of the bullpen.

Mark Reynolds' first year as an Oriole has certainly been a roller coaster ride. While he has mashed 36 HR, he has also committed 30 Errors. Most of those errors however, have been at the hot corner. I want to take a look at Reynolds at 3rd Base vs 1st Base and see if there really is a significant difference in his level of defensive play between each position.
3rd Base
Lets be honest. He was a little worse than atrocious at times on the hot corner. In 984.1 Innings so far, he has compiled 16 fielding errors and 10 throwing errors. That's a grand total of 26 errors. His UZR rating is not much better at -23.1 (That is not an error). Clearly he was struggling at 3rd Base. 2011 has actually been his worst year at 3rd Base. His lowest UZR in past seasons was -10.3 in 2008. Another crazy statistic that jumps out is his RngR(Range Runs above Average) at 3rd, which was -15.5. This screams to me that he was not getting to a lot of balls as well as being a well below-average fielder.
1st Base
Reynolds has played 329.1 innings so far this season at 1st. He has 3 fielding errors and 1 throwing error for a total of 4 errors. His UZR at 1st is -3.5, which is a lot better than the dreadful UZR at 3rd. Reynolds has clearly played a lot better at 1st, and genuinely looks more comfortable as well. His RngR was -3.1
Now lets take a look at these two positions compared.
If you think about it, Reynolds has played 3rd base about triple the amount that he has played 1st this year.
If we triple Reynolds error total from 1st base, he would still only have 12 errors. That is much better than the 26 he had at 3rd. I realize this calculation is also somewhat misleading and not fully plausible, but it gives us a general idea that he has been much better at first. So from a little recap we gather that:
Position Innings #Errors Error*3 UZR RngR
3rd 984.1 26 - -23.1 -15.5
1st 329.1 4 12 -3.5 -3.1
Overall, it seems the Orioles have found a home for Mark Reynolds at 1st base.
All statistics were taken from Fangraphs (One of my favorite websites)

- O'Day
- - I saved an O'day 22 today.
I saved an O'day 22 today.
If it wasn't sold by tomorrow it was going to be dumped in a field to be used as part of a paintball course. I found that unacceptable so I drove 6 hours one way to pick it up sight unseen for $200 and then drove 6 hours back with it. Thank god I had one working brake light (left one) and one working tail light (right one) and all four wheel bearings were in excellent shape and looked repacked.
Long story short it was a several times over abandoned boat and the guy wanted it gone. I think I have everything except the uppermost slat board for the door and both sails and the little bits that go in the mast track are gone, (bottom stop thing is still there). I have a good mast and boom it looks like, the stainless bow railing and lifeline railings or whatever around the sides are OK, the standing rigging is all stainless wire it looks like so I assume its fine. Winch handle somehow stayed in the boat all this time and both winches work (some England brand I forget) All the pulleys and bits of hardware look useable. Some of it might be aftermarket and not original. Good rudder that I think may be fiberglass (painted and hull coated) with a laminate wood handle. Original (I think) tandem axle trailer, tires are shot but servicable, everything on it needs work. Bad news is the boat has been sitting probably with the hatch boards off for probably close to 5 years and the hull is seriously suffering from neglect, Someone drilled about a 3 inch hole into the floor in the interior right as you step down from outside obviously to make it easier to pump out the lower hull. There is currently 6 inches at least of muddy water sitting on top of the keel in the lowest hull area and I can see by a foot long crack with rust leaking out down the side of the keel that it has probably gone through freeze thaw cycles and started to delaminate. It doesn't look too far gone yet though, The whole stupid interior seems to be one piece of plastic so I'll just hack a hole in the floor and put a big ski locker door in afterwards. Also the whole interior is basically throw away at this point, and though most of the deck is solid the fore deck area is spongy, it appears to be really thin looking at it from the inside so i'm not sure what is normal for that area. Pics later, I was more concerned with rushing home to minimize driving in the dark with messed up trailer lights and I don't have a day off for a few days. Also how do I even post/host/whatever pics on here? O and BTW I am NEVER the one that gets the stuff cheap like this so I feel special today. EDIT: I almost forgot, this is my first sailboat. :) |
Nice now lets see the Photos!
Oh my.. don't know if we should congratulate or feel sorry you! Good luck! Because boats are fiberglass and wood they are way more restorable then cars and trucks found in fields.
The things we (sailors) will do for love.
The good thing about plastic boats, is that they will probably be around in some form or another for thousands of years. I'll be dead and gone before my boat goes down.
Ok, I'm covered head to toe in moldy mildewy water, but the exterior is pressure washed clean.
Got the mast up and boom up. In case you were curious this is possible to do by yourself with no tools or poles, even when you have no clue where the cables actually go. Thank you process of elimination, they only reach the correct spots. I learned after the fact that the side stays go on first along with the stern one, since now I cant get them all hooked up and got them all out of adjustment in an attempt to fix them. I just pushed the mast up by hand and crawled up onto the cabin top holding the fore stay then when the mast was straight I walked forward with it and clipped it in the loop in the bow. Those tiny adjuster things really suck to work with, I'd love bigger ones that can be done by hand, plus the threads kinda suck, is it possible to put new ends on these if the cables are good? Managed to figure out how the boom goes on, and then when attempting to figure out how the cable thing actually attaches to it at the mast end, made the mistake of letting go of the cable while the rope wasn't tied to the mast cleat. Needless to say the rope is heavier than the cable and that eyelet that goes on the boom is now wedged in the masthead pulley, thankfully that stopped it before it came completely undone. Tomorrow I will pull the mast back down and redo the stays and get that stupid boom line back down. Is there nothing but tension that holds the mast base into its step thing? I was expecting to see the slots in the mast base having a downward tilt so the cables pulling down would hold it in, but it looks like if someone were to kick the mast base towards the rear of the boat really hard it would possibly pop out if the tension wasn't enough. I have no idea how I'm going to figure out the routing of all the lines when I finally get sails. Speaking of that does anyone have an old blown out set that they replaced and kept around that they might want to get rid of really cheap? Also if anyone has replaced their hatch boards and has the old set around still I would love to buy them, I only have the bottom 2 and they are awfully beat up, plus it would be really hard to make a third that would match at all. I see a site making them as a set for $150 but ill just make my own crappy looking plywood ones for now if I have to since that's way more than I can afford until much later in this project. Despite what is obviously a huge hull and deck repair job now I'm still optimistic, I get to earn the boat by damn near building it from scratch and I can make whatever configuration of interior I want. Looking at how this hull is put together, any boat this model and age that wasn't extremely well taken care of would probably have all the same leaks and stress cracks and issues this one does, they would just be better hidden or poorly repaired by people trying to sell the boat, I feel I have a more honest start to a good project and for $400 total I still think I've got my money's worth. I was too embarrassed to take pics before cleaning, it was truly horrible looking, maybe some tomorrow. EDIT: could someone please confirm my belief that 1973 was the first year and that this is an early production 73. Is there any index of hull numbers for these like there is for the Day Sailors? |
the cables are called "stays" the front is a head or forestay, back is back stay, the side stays are called shrouds, Most cabin stepped masts have a pin or hinged type of connection on the mast base.

Ok, I can raise and lower the mast by myself with no tools, I will never want a boat bigger than this though, it would be miserable to do then, and I will be making one of those poles for better leverage soon. Looks nice with the mast up and all the standing rigging correctly sorted out. Also turns out the rudder is the original wood one, not fiberglass, its just in really good solid shape and well coated so I couldn't tell when I knocked on it. Have pictures now, no clue what to do with them to allow people to see them. GOOD NEWS, the keel wasn't delaminating, turns out its a relatively easy fix. In those keels the lead ballast was higher and farther forward than I thought, and most of the keel is essentially a hollow fiberglass shell. Turns out that the keel was filling with water in the rear most area and when it froze it put a foot long crack in a place that was previously (read: poorly from the outside only) repaired. So all I have to do is correctly fix that foot long crack from both sides and make sure I keep it pumped out until the cabin top / upper hull is waterproofed and then the lower hull is good to go. The upper hull has been repaired around the mast step over a large area, this combined with the fact that the mast is aluminum color and the boom is the original gold color makes me wonder if they didn't have a dis-masting incident a long while ago. The fore deck as I said is also spongy. I may consider cutting down all the fiberglass ceiling so I can properly repair and reinforce the upper hull and then just coat it and insulate it somehow. I have ALOT of upper hull waterproofing to do though, basically everything that can leak does. |

I applaud and like the idea of repairing the deck leaks by cutting out the inner skin where it is leaking and soft, re-fill the core and re-seal with epoxy in a vacuum bagged setup.

The curtains are open at Arizona State. The new football coach is talking a mile a minute, and to anyone who will listen.
The soundtrack of the program has changed dramatically.
"We're an open book," Todd Graham said. "We've got nothing to hide."
Graham's words are intoxicating. They are making an instant impact. At the Las Vegas Bowl, Frank Kush told a radio host that the Sun Devils would go unbeaten if Graham coaches half as well as he speaks.
At the time, the old coach sounded sarcastic, maybe even skeptical. Now, there's a groundswell of real momentum on campus.
"Coach Graham was hired to be the football coach and to build raving fans, a constituency for football that did not occur with either Coach (Dirk) Koetter or Coach (Dennis) Erickson," ASU President Michael Crow said. "Both (were) skilled coaches, both very able individuals, both very capable winners. But they did not build a community of support. This is college football. We have to have a community of support."
Outside Arizona, Graham's reputation remains tarnished. He just surfaced on a list of college football's top 10 most unlikable coaches. But around here, his relentless energy, down-home nature and astounding oratory skills have changed the mood around ASU football.
He has that gift. He looks you in the eye and makes you believe. And by the season's first kickoff, he will have made more than 200 public appearances, part of a new job requirement laid out by Crow.
"If someone wants you to talk, you're going to be there," Crow said of his new policy. "If there's a Kiwanis club that wants to learn more about ASU football, you're going to be there. If there are reporters who want to talk to you and meet with you, you're going to talk to them.
"There's not going to be this, 'Oh, I can't do this, I can't do that.' I don't know how we got to where we were and what we did or didn't achieve. There's this notion that winning is certainly important. But it's not the only thing. We actually want a football program connected to the community, and we don't have that. And we know that."
Crow said he had 37 coaching candidates on his list.
It's hard to believe any of them are better at customer relations and glad-handing boosters. Just last week, Graham invited media members for a lunch and bull session with the entire coaching staff, tearing down invisible walls that have stood for the past 10 years.
Graham said he welcomes the attention. He said every time he speaks in front of a camera, he has a chance to peddle ASU football. In other places, he's been called Coach Phony Baloney. Yet by copping to his self-serving intentions and his salesman persona, Graham came off as very truthful, very real.
"We shouldn't be recruiting a kid who can't talk to the media," he said, a subtle jab at how ASU once hid Vontaze Burfict.
The new mandate is badly needed. The University of Arizona has a powerful new synergy behind an elite, media-savvy athletic director (Greg Byrne), a star basketball coach (Sean Miller) and a new football coach (Rich Rodriguez) who once was the hottest name in the industry.
Byrne is openly ambitious about establishing a stronger presence in the Valley. Maybe you've seen the billboards welcoming you to Wildcat Country.
Or maybe you saw Byrne on the golf course Tuesday, where he just secured a $2.5 million bonus from a happy booster.
"I think our fans are buying into what Coach Rodriguez is all about and what Coach Miller is doing with the men's basketball program," Byrne said.
Contrast that the recent struggles at ASU, and you better understand the new attitude in Tempe, the new outlook on customer and media relations.
Graham's job is to talk a good game and play good game. So far, he's proven he can do half his job extremely well, exciting boosters and fans alike, capitalizing on his unbeaten record as coach at ASU.
It's a refreshing change. Once, a rich donor gave Erickson a lift home on a private jet from a road game in Pullman, Wash. It was a courtesy gesture designed to give Erickson a head start on film review, and much appreciated.
Yet when that donor's 8-year-old wandered onto the practice field, the kid was yelled at by the coaching staff for overstepping his boundaries.
You can trust that will never happen again.

Response from Dr. McGovern
So sorry you haven't received an answer yet.... Symptoms from HBV usually occur within around 90 days (or somewhat longer) but the virus (HBsAg) usually appears by 4 weeks (with a range of up to 9 weeks).... So you can put this behind you...Take a deep breath... I also would consider getting a hepatitis B vaccine for protection in the future - safe and very effective! |

The system is overloaded
I've been talking to Kevin Slavin at area/code recently. His is a young company that's up to some really interesting things — stay tuned for a profile down the line (also check out our own Jon Fine's profile from when the company first launched). In the meantime, I asked him to send me some information and we experienced that classic email awkwardness factor. He's busy; I know this. But how long to wait before sending another email with a gentle reminder that an initial email hasn't been answered? I try to be respectful of people's time and am loath to be too aggressive via email (unless I'm on deadline in which case sorry, all bets are off). But I know full well from my own screamingly overloaded inbox that sometimes messages simply fall through the gaps.
In the end I opted for the light harassment solution, apologizing all the way (what can I say? I'm British; I spend my life apologizing). In the email supplying me with what I needed, Kevin also pointed to a recent post he'd read discussing the concept of declaring "email bankruptcy". It's rather drastic, but I can relate. Whenever I do clear out my inbox, dutifully sending polite notes to anyone who's bothered to write, it inevitably sparks another avalanche of incoming mail. I don't want to be rude, but my job consists of more than answering email. I've seen some interesting visualization solutions, not least this dashboard from Kate Hollenbach at MIT, which analyzes trends in your inbox. But anyone got any practical solutions or tips for dealing with the deluge?

Hybrid 240 Trim and Balance Settings for Long Glides
June 09, 2011, 07:05 PM »
I have a Hybrid 240 and have two questions.
There is one silver mark on the bridle, but when I view the Horvath Website it indicates that there should be two marks. With two marks, if you move the connecting line closer to the front mark, the kite will be more responsive. With the one silver mark, can anyone let me know how far in front of the silver mark I should move the connecting line. I have moved it about 2 inches so far and that appears to work for me.
My second question is when I fly the Hybrid 240 in no wind on a calm evening. It stalls easily and does not float over a short distance unless I hold tension on the flying line after the kite has slowed down to the slower glide speed. I have added 5-inch length of AFC 2400 that fits over the center spin by the nose to move the center of gravity forward. This adjustment to the center of gravity has made it float a little better, but I still need to add a little more nose weight. Has anyone adjusted the center of gravity so that the Hybrid 240 flys without stalling after the slower glide speed has been achieved and did you measure the location of the center of gravity from the noise?
As an update, tonight I just added a 5-inch length of Skyshark P200 over the 5-inch AFC 2400, which moved the center of gravity to 21 5/8" below the tip of the sail at the nose. Using my old kite design program, the center of gravity provides a static margin to around 14%, which static margin works well on my own soaring 8-foot kites that I have designed for my own use and enjoyment.
For your information, my own 8-foot soaring kites are made with ripstop polyester and framed with the old Skyshark tapered Zeros for the wind spars and the straight version of the tube for the center spine. I have theses frames from when I use to build stunt kites in the 1990s. The Skyshark Zeros were too flexible for my old Raptor 8-foot stunt kite, but work great on these soaring kites. My soaring kites have a sail area of 9.67 sq.ft., weight 100 grams, which provides a calculated sail loading of 0.3649 oz./sq.ft.
It is my belief that the weight of the flying line, how much of it is in the air and its connection point to the bridle need to be considered when making these fine adjustments, since these factors can alter the center of gravity. I use a spool that contains 250 feet of 50 lb. spectra line for no wind evenings and attempt to get the Hybrid 240 above tree top height. With a slight breeze, I use a spool that contains over 600 feet of 75 lb. spectra. As you would expect after the launch on a calm evening, I have line all over the field at my feet to work with.
Thank you in advance for any response to my questions.

NAACP dismisses 'rumor fabricated by media' of Sanford boycott
The NAACP's march and rally in Sanford today for Trayvon Martin. Photo credit: David Manning/Reuters
The NAACP preceded its march today for Trayvon Martin with a fascinating news conference in Sanford.
Ben Jealous, the NAACP's president, was definite in knocking down what he described as "a rumor fabricated by the media."
"There is no discussion of a boycott of Sanford. There is no discussion of a boycott of Seminole County," Jealous said. Rather the NAACP was in Sanford "to pull this community together," he said.
Jealous said that the Rev. Al Sharpton had never called for a boycott, and Sharpton shook his head in agreement. Jealous asked the media "to put to rest any rumor that there is any discussion about any boycott of this community."
But the news conference illustrated how a message can get garbled, especially when two high-profile people are talking.
In response to a reporter's question, Sharpton said he was not talking about a Sanford boycott but he was talking about "those businesses that are financing the campaign" on the stand your ground law.
Those comments seemed to fluster Jealous, who was determined to end the confusion. "But to be clear, this community is off the table," Jealous said.
"It was never on the table," Sharpton said.
What about targeting businesses supporting stand your ground? "There is no announcement on that being made about that at this time," Jealous said. "If we come to that bridge, we'll cross it when we come to it. We're not on that bridge."
Sharpton stressed that there has been no violence in any marches for Trayvon, the 17-year-old who was shot to death by Neighborhood Watch volunteer George Zimmerman.
Sharpton said the marchers' lone aim was that "on probable cause, the killer should be arrested. We have not said what to charge him with. We are not trying him before trial. Those on the other side, they're trying to acquit him."
The Rev. Jesse Jackson said that Trayvon "symbolized the crisis of injustice in our land."
The rally drew extensive coverage on Central Florida News 13, and WFTV-Channel 9 put the story at the top of its noon newscast.
Bill Sheaffer leaving WFTV to run for judge
WFTV-Channel 9 tonight bid farewell to legal analyst Bill Sheaffer, who announced he is running for circuit judge of Orange and Osceola counties. The primary is in August.
"What this means is because I'm actively campaigning, I'm not continuing with Channel 9," Sheaffer said in an interview. "I don't know if it's the complete end of me being able to comment, but it is an end to my time with WFTV."
Sheaffer logged four years with WFTV and became a familiar presence during the Casey Anthony coverage.
"We're sorry to see you go," anchor Martie Salt told Sheaffer on the 6 p.m. newscast.
"Your gift was helping us understand those complex legal issues," anchor Bob Opsahl said.
In recent days, Sheaffer has commented on the Trayvon Martin case.
"My experience with Channel 9 has been a plus for the campaign as it relates to name recognition," Sheaffer said.
He raved about the journalists he worked with at the ABC affiliate. "It was just the most rich and rewarding experience," he said.
But today wasn't the exact end. Sheaffer will be featured in two editions of "Central Florida Spotlight," which airs at 12:30 p.m. Saturdays. This weekend, Sheaffer talks about the stand your ground law. The April 7 show will feature his interviews with lawyers in the Casey Anthony civil suit, Sheaffer said.
For his run for judge, Sheaffer has gained the backing of Richard Hornsby, a legal analyst for WESH-Channel 2. "He has my support, which may surprise some," Hornsby said. The two lawyers once had a contentious relationship.
VPS Vs Dedicated Servers
Web hosting comes in different packages. VPS (Virtual Private Server) and Dedicated Server Hosting make for the two major classifications. While VPS comprises of multiple virtual servers within a single server, where each virtual server can run its own full-fledged operating system, and can even be independently rebooted; dedicated servers offer a totally different experience, and hence is more suited to mid or large sized business entities, considering the amount of data that is handled. With dedicated servers in place, one enjoys a greater degree of security, functionality, availability, and flexibility. But all this comes at a price. So while the user of a dedicated server owns the entire actual server, the one using a VPS server own his own little domain of influence.
VPS has basically come into existence, with the recent resurgence of virtualization softwares and technologies for various architectures. Hence it more or less, embodies the advantages of both a dedicated as well as, a shared web hosting system. So in a nutshell it's more economical. In case of a VPS server, the physical server operates a hypervisor that has the task of creating, destroying and managing the resources of a "guest". The guest is basically a virtual machine created by the host, who allocates certain resources to it. The guest system may work as virtualized, paravirtualized or it could be a hybrid version of the two. While in a virtualized environment, the guest is provided with an emulated set of hardware and is unaware whether it's strictly physical; in a paravirtualized environment, the guest is aware of the presence of the hypervisor and is interfaced directly with the host.
The overall quality of service, however, is reflected by the use of dedicated server. This kind of servers tremendously reduce downtime or in other words remove any doubts about stability all together. As per the organization's need, dedicated hosting gives the privilege to write as well as run, programming scripts & install software, as per requirement.
With VPS, web hosting becomes more affordable as compared to dedicated type. Apart from this your data is equally safe and secure and your resources such as your disk space ram and CPU is not subjected to sharing. However you might be required to share your server with other users. As far as dedicated servers are concerned, a user of such a server has a ROOT/ADMINISTRATOR ACCESS and can even sell or share his resources to someone else, as per his discretion.
So if we were to sum it up, a dedicated server is only for a single client, who may or may not choose to share his resources. The user of a dedicated has ROOT/ADMINISTRATOR access, and such users are usually those with a high usage. While a VPS user is one who went for features similar to that of a dedicated type, but has a low usage. So more or less it's the kind of usage and requirement which would play a vital role in deciding which one to go for.
'American Idol': Who was sent packing?
Do the "American Idol" judges need to be strapped in their seats? They gave a standing ovation tonight to reigning champ Scotty McCreery, who was fine.
But a standing O? Really?
The judges gave five standing ovations during Wednesday's show, which, to put it mildly, was excessive. It was also tiresomely self-congratulatory.
SPOILER ALERT: The ejection was the main deal tonight. The singers in jeopardy were Hollie Cavanagh, Heejun Han and Skylar Laine.
Heejun received the fewest votes, and reprised "A Song for You" from Wednesday's show. His attempt to sing for his life was his best performance in the show, but the judges decided against using their one save this season to keep him around. Steven Tyler delivered the bad news.
The remaining eight singers perform at 8 p.m. Wednesday on Fox.
Trayvon Martin: George Zimmerman's father says son was threatened
Trayvon Martin threatened and beat George Zimmerman, Zimmerman's father said tonight in an exclusive interview on WOFL-Channel 35.
"Trayvon Martin said something to the effect of 'you're going to die now' or 'you're going die tonight,' " Robert Zimmerman told WOFL's Valerie Boey. "He continued to beat George, and at some point, George pulled his pistol and did what he did."
Trayvon's shooting last month has become a national controversy that raised questions about racial profiling and Florida's stand your ground law. Trayvon's supporters have said that Neighborhood Watch volunteer George Zimmerman pursued the 17-year-old and have demanded that Zimmerman be arrested.
But Robert Zimmerman said his son lost sight of Trayvon and went looking for an address to give police. Trayvon later approached George Zimmerman, punched him in the nose, knocked him to the ground and started beating him, Robert Zimmerman told WOFL.
ABC News has aired footage of George Zimmerman being taken in for questioning on the night of the shooting. At one point, an officer checks the back of Zimmerman's head for injuries.
WOFL anchor Bob Frier noted it was the first time someone from the Zimmerman family had given a TV interview about the tragedy in Sanford.
Robert Zimmerman decried what he saw as hate coming from President Barack Obama, the Congressional Black Caucus and the NAACP. "I just hope at one point everyone will go beyond the hate that they have," Zimmerman's father said.
Robert Zimmerman, a retired judge from Virginia, said his son was color-blind on the issue of race. Robert Zimmerman asked WOFL not to show his face because he has received thousands of death threats, Boey said.
WKMG-Channel 6 tonight offered an interview with a neighbor who described George Zimmerman as caring and concerned. "I would never guess that he was racist or violent in any way," the woman said. "We've had many conversations about the constant break-ins … and he never, ever mentioned color in a negative way. Ever."
WKMG did not show the neighbor's face, either.
Oprah Winfrey to visit 'CBS This Morning' on Monday
Will Gayle King be able to get answers from best pal Oprah Winfrey that other reporters can't?
We'll find out Monday morning when Lady O visits King and "CBS This Morning."
CBS News offered this preview: "In a candid conversation Winfrey will discuss everything from the latest developments at OWN, her Leadership Academy, and life after her daytime talk show. Winfrey is in New York for a live taping of her 'Lifeclass' series, which is in its second season on OWN."
Inquiring minds do want to know more about the health of OWN.
It is Winfrey's first visit to "CBS This Morning," which airs at 7 a.m. weekdays on WKMG-Channel 6. Charlie Rose and Erica Hill anchor along with King.
New Blogs on the Block
Here at China Beat, of course, we spend a lot of time trolling the web for great commentary on China. If you follow us on Twitter (as over 3500 people do, which we really appreciate), you'll get a daily rundown of the articles we find interesting. But in addition to tweeting individual story links, we wanted to call special attention to two new blogs and one reinvigorated podcast whose RSS feeds are worth grabbing:
• The Economist recently launched a dedicated China section in its print magazine, the first time a country-specific section was added since 1942 (when the country under examination was the United States). To accompany the new section, the magazine has also set up Analects, a blog for its China correspondents. In addition to short posts on topics in the news (lately, the National People's Congress and the increasingly convoluted Bo Xilai saga), Analects also ran a lengthy article by Gady Epstein on the history of Economist coverage of China, extending back to 1843. It's a lively, enjoyable read in which Epstein carefully points out that China correspondents of the past got as much wrong as they did right (and vice versa).
• The other new China blog—very new, actually, as it just launched last Thursday—is Rectified.name, a group blog whose contributors include Jeremiah Jenne, Dave Lyons, Will Moss, Brendan O'Kane, and Chinese journalist YJ. Read an introduction to the site (and explanation of its name) here, then follow @rectifyname on Twitter. Notable posts so far include "The Game of Thrones Guide to the 2012 Transition" (Part I, Part II) and "I Apologize if Anyone Felt Killed," on Mike Daisey's non-apologetic apology to This American Life listeners.
• The Sinica Podcast, co-hosted by Kaiser Kuo and Jeremy Goldkorn, has been around since 2010 but has ramped things up lately, thus meriting its inclusion in this post. They now have a Sinica Twitter feed as well as a Facebook page to interact with listeners. Recent guests include a number of China Beatniks, such as Geremie Barmé, Jeff Wasserstrom, Paul French, and Rob Schmitz. As a bonus, each podcast ends with the hosts and guests offering reading (or viewing, or attending) recommendations—not always China-focused—that are always worth checking out.
Ben Bernanke tells ABC: 'The world needs more nerds'

In an exclusive interview with ABC's Diane Sawyer, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke says it's important not to be complacent about the improving economy.
"We have a long way to go, a lot of work to do, and we're going to keep doing that," he says in an interview to air tonight on "ABC World News With Diane Sawyer." The program starts at 6:30 p.m. on WFTV-Channel 9.
It's "far too early to declare victory" on economic recovery, Bernanke says, adding that he is most concerned about the long-term unemployed.
"Those people are obviously facing a lot of hardship," he says, citing a figure that 40 percent of the jobless haven't worked for more than six months.
Bernanke takes no offense that Time magazine, in naming him Person of the Year for 2009, described him as "the most powerful nerd on the planet."
"I am very proud of my nerd-dom," he tells Sawyer. "In fact, the world needs more nerds. Nerds, you know, create more jobs and advance science, and I hope make good economic policy, but that remains to be seen."
Reseller Hosting Services
Reseller web hosting refers to a kind of web hosting platform in which any registered user can host websites, of external parties, with the aid of personal drive capacity and the net bandwidth. The name reselling, therefore applies to the service. In more simple terms, the reseller host creates an account and buys host service and in turn, sells these, in return of a certain profit. A reseller can either rent a server from any host company or may resell the host services. The registration criterion is fulfilled through the opening of an account with a web host server or company. This technique is a good way to start a personal company. The prices and the plans that the resellers work with is decided solely by him or her.
Reseller hosting is easier than other web hosting platforms, in the sense that, it is less technical. The basic work of the reseller's is to communicate and interact with the customers but all technical and infrastructural problems are tackled by the data center manager and the server provider. The crux of the reseller web hosting is the ability to advertise and market a site or a product online. Though the returns are a bit slow, gradually the reseller hosting service business earns the profits, since hosting is a pre requisite to survive in the cyber age today.
There are a number of advantages of reseller web services. The cost involved in this host set up is lesser than other shared hosting services. The best part is the high rate of inventory that a reseller web host gets. The reseller web service makes it more flexible than other shared hosting forums. There is ample time to concentrate on other work, rather than remaining glued to the same host service. This flexibility automatically leads to better management of more websites and in turn, leads to a solid client base.
Despite all the points that work in favor of the reseller web hosting, there are certain drawbacks to this platform as well. Once an active reseller account is opened, there remains very little time to concentrate on other work. Client dissatisfaction and complaints are not very rare, rather they keep pouring in. Though there are technical assistants, the marketing part of the reseller hosting services needs to be tackled by the account owner. This causes a lot of stress at times. In case, the reseller host is just starting out, there is a huge risk of losing money. In order to please customers, there are chances which lead to loss of personal money. The account holders at times, get too bothered with customer problems. This causes loss of enthusiasm and leads to work dissatisfaction.
Therefore, before deciding on choosing the reseller web hosting service as a business option, it is suggested that one weighs all pros and cons. There is no set formula to help one choose the perfect reseller service. However, reputation on the web and the history of a certain company are the best ways to judge what is best. Proper research takes one a long way before setting up a serious enterprise with the reseller hosting services.
'Dancing With the Stars': Katherine Jenkins, William Levy electrify

"He wants me to shake my naughty bits."
The speaker was Welsh singer Katherine Jenkins, who shook with sexy precision to please partner Mark Ballas. She also wowed the judges on "Dancing With the Stars," who gave her high marks tonight. "The blond bombshell is unleashed," Bruno Tonioli gushed.
Jenkins can do elegant, and she can do sultry, and she is a major addition to the ABC dance contest.
So, too, is Cuban-American actor William Levy, who is drop-dead handsome. He delivered a glamorous quickstep to end tonight's show. The producers obviously understand the importance of making fans wait for Levy.
Neither Jenkins nor Levy is a household name, but each has invigorated ABC's most popular series. The contest ejects its first celebrity at 9 p.m. Tuesday, and that almost certainly will be tennis legend Martina Navratilova, who fumbled her jive. Though beautifully made up, she looked lost and heavy-footed on the dance.
The most-improved celebrity was football star Donald Driver, who executed a delightful quickstep.
Entertainment reporter Maria Menounos battled a rib injury to pull off a stylish, energetic quickstep. Disney Channel star Roshon Fegan displayed a fine technique on a quickstep that opened the show and won raves from judges.
The biggest decline in week two came from "Family Matters" favorite Jaleel White. He was wonderful last week; but his pleasant jive this week lacked pizazz.
As for the rest, Sherri Shepherd delivered an energetic jive that honored Tina Turner. Singer Gavin DeGraw turned biker dude and donned leather for his jive. Tonioli seemed more impressed by the leather than the dance steps.
Actor Jack Wagner's jive was ragged but fun. Actress Melissa Gilbert showed improvement from week one on her quickstep, although she seems too tense to make it far in this contest.
The judges knocked Gladys Knight for poor posture on her quickstep. She took Len Goodman's critique with grace. "I love Len," she said.
The dancing this season is far above average. If a celebrity falters, as Navratilova did tonight, it will mean a quick exit.
Levy and Jenkins, though, are real finds that could go to the end. Well-shaken naughty bits are crucial in this game.

Reviews for Harvest Sweet Potato Soup
Average Rating
"It was just OK. I won't make again."
"Great autumn soup! Used fresh basil and 5 cups of vegetable broth. Can't wait to share it with my neighbor, a great food critic. Its a wonderful lunch or the fantastic beginnings of a special meal for company."
"We really enjoyed this soup. I made a few changes. I used olive oil, doubled the recipe, added collards to the soup and used leeks instead of onions. The flavor was WONDERFUL, rich and delicious. I destemed the collards and pulled out the strings from the leaf veins as I could. I would recommend cutting the leaf veins out as far up the leaves as you can. Pureeing the collards into the soup definitely changed the color but not too ugly, I kept the ration of collards to sweet potato down to minimize the GREENESS. :) We could not taste the collards at all and I added some yummy greens to our diet in a way that did not gross out the kids. It is kid friendly without chunks in it and is yummy as a vegan meal or as a side dish with beef or chicken dishes. Enjoy!"
"This had a great flavor. The potatoes I had seemed smaller than medium-sized, so I used more of them. The soup turned out too thick, but perhaps I used too many potatoes. Next time I will either use fewer potatoes or more broth, but either way, I will definitely be making this again."
"I was looking for something different in a soup and I had a ton of yams that I didn't want to go bad. I tried this recipe and it is absolutely fantastic. My kids LOVE it and so do I!"
"this is lovesly instead of basil try u sing a little spinach"

Subaru shows glitzy new global HQ befitting new stature
TOKYO -- Subaru today unveiled the Japan-spec WRX sedan while christening a glistening new global headquarters more befitting of the hot brand's bigger international profile.
The glass-and-steel digs, in Tokyo's trendy Ebisu district, replaces a cramped, gloomy 48-year-old monolith it sold in 2010.
The new 12-story global nerve center, home to Subaru-brand manufacturer Fuji Heavy Industries, boasts an airy showroom more than four times as big as the previous space, which was occasionally inundated by the smells of the McDonald's downstairs.
At today's event, Subaru packed its new floor with eight WRX S4 and WRX STI models to a standing-room only crowd.
The old showroom fit just two vehicles.
Also available is a cavernous auditorium that can hold 1,200 people, enabling Subaru to conduct on-site product launches. The old headquarters had only a large conference room.
Besides underscoring the higher international stature enjoyed by today's Subaru, the building should allow more efficient work flow for its 600 employees. It has an open-floor layout and dedicated internal staircases connecting departments. Employees at the old headquarters, which opened in 1966, often had to take the public elevator between floors.
"The design of the Ebisu Subaru Building features a sense of 'speed' and 'dynamism' like those felt with automobiles," Fuji Heavy said. "FHI will take the relocation of its corporate headquarters as an opportunity to strengthen its competitiveness and business structure to achieve further growth."
Subaru sales in the U.S. have set records in each of the last six years. Through July, sales have risen 18 percent to 283,722 vehicles. Subaru during July posted the largest sales gain of any automaker in the U.S. with a 27 percent gain. It has posted 32 straight months of U.S. sales gains, and all but three of those have been double-digit gains.
Fuji Heavy began operations at the new site Aug. 18.

I just called a repair shop to see what maintenance items I need to take care of for my E46 with 75K miles. In addition to the standard coolant flush the tech highly recommended changing the 'lifetime' auto transmission fluid to the tune of about $400 bucks. I also have squeaking coming from the rear of the car and the tech said I probably need to change out the rear toe bushings and strut mounts. What next? Is anyone else having these issues at this mileage?
At 75k miles it is possible that the rear trailing arm bushings (toe bushings) are worn and need replaced. Same holds true for the upper shock mounts. Don't be surprised if they also find that your front lower control arm bushings are worn. These tend to last about 40k miles depending on the condition of the roads in your area. I would recommend that the auto trans fluid be changed at this mileage as well. If you price a reman transmission from your dealer you will be shocked at the cost. You could change the trans fluid 10 times and still be well under the cost of replacement if you include labor. I would also recommend that you change the auto trans fluid on 40-50k mile intervals thereafter and change the differential fluid at the same time. Most of the cost associated with the trans fluid change is the oil itself. It can run anywhere from $4-$11 a liter depending on which is specified for your transmission and it will hold about 10 liters or so. Matt
The rear differential fluid lubricates the bearings and gears in the rear differential. The rear differential is essentially the final step in getting the engines power to the rear wheels. (Very) Basically the differential is responsible for changing the direction of the power produced by the engine and directing it to the rear wheels. For more info see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Differential_(mechanics) Matt
Save a bundle. Buy your own trans and diff fluid (BavAuto has them) and washers if needed and take your E46 to a local independent mechanic for the change. My local BMW dealer balked at wanting to change the "lifetime" fluid in my 2001 325 CiC, trans and diff, so I did the above with a nearby Valvoline oil change service. In any event, do change these fluids if you plan to keep the car.
Recently had my fluid and filter changed for the first time, at 100,000 on my 2004 325i. Dealer would not do it so I went to an independent shop. I paid $400 and plan to do the next change at 50,000. I recommend anyone buying a BMW to go with a more aggressive service schedule than the company line. I was sucked in like many others, but will not be fooled again. Let the dealer do their regular free maintenance on your warranty vehicle, but in-between find an independent and do what's right. I plan to go for 200,000 miles so it's time to do the service right. That means catching up on some items, I just hope it's not to late as I really want to reach that magic number. P.S. The transmission is feeling really good.
prcoop - only 200K miles?! I went with the BG flush for our '00 328i with GM auto tranny at 60K miles - compatible fluid, and guaranteed from BG and the independent shop. Cost was $225 with the club discount.
I like your price better than mine! P.S. Recently had rear coil springs replaced, one was cracked. 107,000 miles it was due to happen.
Changed mine at 60k Just had my transmission fluid/filter changed to the tune of about 400 bucks (indy shop). They drained the fluid on day one - I drove it home then back and they drained it, replaced the filter and refilled it the second day. My 2002 330ci convertible had pretty bad looking fluid at 60k miles so we decided to run a double shot through to dilute the stuff left in the torque converter before changing the filter. ...running significantly better now. In fact I didn't realize how rough it was shifting until I had this done. my $0.02, your mileage may vary, Chris

Gotta Have It: Madonna's Jimmy Choo Bag
The Material Mom's animal-print Blythe handbag had heads turning in London.
-Faye Brennan
If you had the opportunity to dine with stylish designer Tom Ford, you'd want to break out the best pieces in your closet for the big night too. So, it's no wonder Madonna looked stellar for a dinner date with him at Scott's Restaurant in London on Tuesday. Dressed in all-black, Madonna hinted at her wild side with the Jimmy Choo Blythe Handbag ($2395, jimmychoo.com).
This may have just been another day in the life of the multihyphenate, but no one can argue that this bag is as on-trend as you can get right now with its leopard-print pony finish and gold accents.
Even if we broke open our piggy banks, we wouldn't be able to get one of our own – the bag is sold out on the Jimmy Choo website. But that won't stop die-hard fashionistas like us from getting this look. Here are some more wallet-friendly versions that are just as fashion forward:
Jessica Simpson Downtown tote in leopard ($117.90, amazon.com)
Kathy Van Zeeland Disco Daisy medium A-line tote ($110, dillards.com)

On March 1, 2012: The U.S. Tax Court held in Slone, transferee, et al., T.C. Memo. 2012-57, for the taxpayers. The IRS had proposed a tax of $16,193,881, a penalty of $2,550,832 and accrued interest, bringing the total balance to almost $25 million. The U.S. Tax Court determined that the issue at hand was whether the IRS had shown that the substance of the stock sale and not the form, gave rise to transferee liability. After analyzing the facts, the U.S. Tax Court held that neither the substance over form doctrine, nor any related doctrines apply to recast the stock sale as a liquidating distribution and therefore, the Court held that the stock sale should be respected for Federal tax purposes.
