Forum Center: The smartphone may be the new home
By Alex Culpepper
Illustration: Jed Helmers
An old saying tells us a person's home is his or her castle. A 21st century version of that saying might become something like this: a person's home, and smartphone, are his or her castles. It all depends on what ruling the Supreme Court decides next month regarding a case in which a California man was arrested for driver's license and firearm violations.
In 2009, police stopped David Riley for having expired tags and a suspended license. Police also found guns in his car. Police then searched his smartphone on site and found evidence of more sinister activity linked to a shooting. At his trial, his legal defense claimed the smartphone search was illegal under the Fourth Amendment because it was performed without a warrant. The court did not buy it. Riley was eventually convicted of attempted murder, and his subsequent appeal failed to sway the California Supreme Court.
Joining Riley's case before the Court is another from an incident in 2007 in which Boston police confiscated Brima Wurie's phone during an arrest and looked up the number of a caller. The information led to a cocaine bust, and Wurie was sentenced to more than 20 years in prison. Later, a federal appeals court did side with Wurie and a Fourth Amendment violation, and it voiced concerns about the personal information available on the phone. So, with this two-in-one case before the Court, debate forms about how personal our phones are and whether police can have access to them upon arrest.
Proponents of these searches say smartphones are no different from anything else a person may be carrying when arrested, such as a wallet with photographs and other items and should be searchable by police without a warrant. They say it is consistent with past practices and methods of police detainment. Proponents of searches also say the search is viewed as a safety precaution for officers to avoid potential dangerous situations like an ambush. Finally, they say smartphones can be wiped clean from a remote position, eliminating potential evidence of serious crime, and that hurts police investigation.
For opponents of these searches, the argument is simple: smartphones contain practically every personal detail about its owner and are, in effect, our new homes and should be treated as such in the event of a search – i.e. with a warrant or probable cause. They say it is no different to snoop through someone's smartphone than it is to walk into his or her house and look through papers and documents.
The Supreme Court's ruling on these cases will determine, at least until another case comes up, the limits to a person's privacy concerning his or her mobile phone. These cases go deep into the Fourth Amendment, and they show how the country's privacy laws may be changing as rapidly as companies roll out new products and services.

Commentary Forum Question of the Week:
Should a warrant be required for police to search someone's smartphone upon arrest, as it is required to search someone's home?
Commentary Right: The electronic equivalent of a strip search
By Marianne Stanley
Death by a million cuts. That's what America is experiencing today – a killing as methodical as it is intentional. One after the other, the amendments in our Bill of Rights are being shredded. Peaceful protestors with a First Amendment right to gather and redress grievances against the government were pepper sprayed, beaten, handcuffed and arrested during Occupy Wall Street. Religion is being insidiously slipped into law in the form of prayer before town meetings and anti-abortion legislation. Property is confiscated during traffic stops and drug busts, even before any finding of guilt. Handcuffs are appearing everywhere and used on us for no good reason, as a man at his recent school board meeting in New Hampshire found out when he dared to speak longer than his allotted two minutes and was actually arrested. Voters in some of the poorer areas of Florida have seen their polling places closed, and it was recently announced those that remain open will not permit restroom use, despite waits that have been as long as six hours. And the list goes on.
Should the contents of cell phones be accessible to the police or to government? Absolutely not. That's why we have this thing called a search warrant. Probable cause or reasonable suspicion provides a basis for a warrant to search further. Otherwise, hands off! Privacy has been one of our most treasured rights, but it is under serious attack while we all sit back and meekly relinquish our individual rights one by one. Why are Dayton citizens, for instance, not rallying in force against the decision of the mayor and city council's installation of 27 surveillance cameras downtown? It is one thing for business owners to put them up to protect their property; quite another for government to watch us 24/7, supposedly in the name of safety and security. To paraphrase Ben Franklin, "Those who sacrifice freedom for security deserve neither."
It's rather ironic, don't you think, that thousands of our military men and women have died and are dying now for our "freedom" when we no longer have it here at home? We have gone from the days when the police looked like regular uniformed people with faces to anonymous monsters in dark helmets or swat team outfits replete with lethal weapons. We are members of society and, as such, have every right to be respected and protected by law enforcement, rather than intimidated and abused by them. Aren't they supposed to be on our side, on our team, united with us against the 'bad guys'? When did we become the bad guys? We have every right to protest the XL pipeline, or fracking in our communities, or nuclear proliferation, or air and water pollution or any frigging thing we want, as long as we are doing it peacefully. This is not only our right, but our duty as an engaged citizenry. Those who blindly hang the flag and put their hand over their heart when saying the Pledge of Allegiance are not "patriots," but rather are just parading as such. True patriots hold government accountable and don't support it when it is doing wrong. We are supposed to be the watchdogs of democracy, not limp-wristed pansies who allow it to slip from our grasp just because it takes courage and action to fight back against the forces that are persistently and insistently undermining it today.
The guy whose cell phone info produced a drug bust is not the bigger danger; a government that can invade our lives at will is. We have been brainwashed into thinking the "Drug War" is a good thing. It's not. It's an excuse our government uses for its own purposes. We have more than a million harmless Americans in our newly privatized prisons on drug charges. You can't fight drug use with cops and guns just as you can't fight "terror," as our everlasting – and stupid – "War on Terror" should have made clear to us by now. That's the antithesis of what terror does and means. Government resources and personnel should be used instead to improve the quality of life here in America, from better schools – not charter schools – to job creation. Think of it: we could actually have a middle class again and 50 million fewer hungry people in this country every day!
Draw the line! Though it should have been drawn way-back-and-long-ago by our illustrious members of Congress, it looks like it is up to us now to defend and protect our basic human rights. No one has a right to invade our home and, likewise, no one has a right to invade our private cell phone data that contains a microcosm of our lives.
Every human being needs to experiment, experience, learn and grow, and to this end, we must be left alone to live our lives free from government scrutiny. Whoever came up with this "law and order" phrase and mentality needs to have their head examined. The best societies have the best "order" because they have the fewest laws. In case anybody hasn't noticed, since our "law and order" penchant, our prison population has exploded and society continues to fall apart before our eyes.
The fear foisted on us by media has turned us into a cruel and unjust society, so unlike the vision of our founders. Time to say, "No more!" – or meekly trade in our mayors, city councils and legislators for a shepherd.

Commentary Right: U.S. Supreme Court can learn from Ohio high court
By Rob Scott
I do not know what I would do without my Apple iPhone. This magical smartphone contains all of my contacts, emails, calendar, banking information, credit card information, car payment and much more. I pay all of my bills from my smartphone and have hundreds of pictures of my dog Barney.
I know I'm not alone with this dependency on my smartphone device. According to Forbes magazine, more than 90 percent of U.S. adults own a cell phone, with 75 percent of those being a smartphone. Ninety-one percent of adults keep their smartphone within arm's reach.
When questioned or being accused of a crime, a suspect's cell phone – that more likely is a smartphone – could be at issue. This is exactly what is at stake before the U.S. Supreme Court in two cases, with arguments that took place last month.
The two cases are technically being heard separately, but both involve criminal conspiracy. In one case, San Diego police arrested David Leon Riley for expired tags and found two guns in his trunk. Searching his smartphone, they found evidence of Riley's connection to a local faction of the Bloods street gang, including pictures of Riley himself throwing up gang signs. The police eventually connected Riley to an earlier shooting using the guns in his trunk, and he was convicted on charges of assault and attempted murder.
In the other case, Boston cops arrested Brima Wurie after a suspected drug transaction, and traced a call from "home" on his flip phone. After getting a warrant and searching the apartment, they found a large stash of crack cocaine. Both defendants are arguing the search of their cell phones without a warrant violates their Fourth Amendment rights.
It is well established that searches conducted without a warrant are, per se, unreasonable, subject to certain "jealously and carefully drawn" exceptions. There is an exception if the search is incident to arrest, which allows officers to conduct a search that includes an arrestee's person and the area within the arrestee's immediate control.
Ironically, in Ohio there was a case of first impression on point out of Beavercreek. A man's phone was taken after he was arrested for selling drugs. The officers searched the phone and retrieved the data they needed from a drug sting. The Ohio Supreme Court ruled in 2009 the Fourth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution does prohibit the warrantless search of data within a cell phone when the phone is lawfully seized incident to an arrest. In State v. Smith, the high court determined people can have a reasonable expectation of privacy when it comes to cell phones – including smartphones – and as such, police should require a warrant in order to retrieve data on the phone.
The Ohio Supreme Court further stated: "Given their unique nature as multifunctional tools, cell phones defy easy categorization. On one hand, they contain digital address books very much akin to traditional address books carried on the person, which are entitled to a lower expectation of privacy in a search incident to an arrest. On the other hand, they have the ability to transmit large amounts of data in various forms, likening them to laptop computers, which are entitled to a higher expectation of privacy.
But cell phones are neither address books nor laptop computers. They are more intricate and multifunctional than traditional address books, yet they are still, in essence, phones, and thus they are distinguishable from laptop computers.
Although cell phones cannot be equated with laptop computers, their ability to store large amounts of private data gives their users a reasonable and justifiable expectation of a higher level of privacy in the information they contain. Once the cell phone is in police custody, the state has satisfied its immediate interest in collecting and preserving evidence and can take preventive steps to ensure that the data found on the phone are neither lost nor erased. But because a person has a high expectation of privacy in a cell phone's contents, police must then obtain a warrant before intruding into the phone's contents."
Florida, Maine and New Hampshire have followed Ohio's warrant requirement for police to search cell phones or smart phones. The U.S. Supreme Court will follow Ohio as well.
Like the Ohio ruling, the high court will agree today's American does have a legitimate expectation of privacy of what is on their smartphone. Many have pictures, text messages, emails, contacts and much more they would not want known to the general public, including a police officer.
Not only is there a Fourth Amendment right, but, in my opinion, a Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination. I went into great detail regarding our Fifth Amendment rights and technology in my March column in this publication.
If the U.S. Supreme Court follows the Ohio precedent, there will be a Fourth Amendment privacy right to smartphone data across the United States. If this is the ruling, police will be required to obtain a warrant before pulling any data from someone's phone.
Ultimately, the greatest legal advice and most practical suggestion would be to password-protect your phone in order to protect the data from a thief or even the police.

Man dies after car pins him
By Lee Williams
Published in News on February 19, 2007 1:49 PM
PRINCETON -- A game between friends at an apartment on Barden Street took a deadly turn Sunday when a man accidentally pinned a Wayne County man against the residence with a car.
The victim, James Richard Howell Jr., 27, of Talton Road, Princeton, was horseplaying with his friend, James Larry Holder, 29, of Barden Street in Princeton, about 9:30 a.m. when he was fatally injured, Princeton police Chief Ed Lewis said.
"He was sitting outside the apartment," Lewis said. "He squatted down and a friend, James Larry Holder, pulled up in front of the victim. They exchanged waves. Holder had his foot on the gas and brake both horsing around. His foot slipped off the brake and pinned him against the apartment."
Realizing what he had done, Holder put the 1994 Ford Taurus he was driving in reverse and backed away from the injured Howell.
Princeton police and Johnston County Emergency Medical Services were dispatched to the incident. EMS transported Howell to Johnston Memorial Hospital in Smithfield.
The Wayne County man was transported by air ambulance to Duke Hospital in Raleigh. But Howell's injuries later proved fatal, Lewis said.
"He succumbed to his injuries between 1:30 and 1:40 p.m.," Lewis said.
The police chief called the incident tragic.
Lewis said Holder was deeply distraught over what happened to his friend.
"It doesn't matter what the gentleman did, he has to deal with this for the rest of his life," Lewis said.
Lewis added while the incident was an accident, Lewis said Holder could face a possible misdemeanor death by motor vehicle charge.
"This was a preventable accident and someone is dead," said Lewis, explaining why he would have to pursue charges in the case.
"I don't feel there was any intent to do any harm, but he was horseplaying and now both families will have to deal with the consequences," he said.

There are many options available for making a homemade fly repellent for dogs. The simplest recipe contains just two ingredients: apple cider vinegar and water. This repellent works both when applied topically or when ingested by the dog. You may also choose a non-toxic mix of essential oils. You need a spray bottle and a clean cloth.Continue Reading
Idaho tansy, geranium, sandalwood, lavender, rosemary and lemon essential oils have natural repellent qualities without containing the harmful chemicals that are present in most commercial fly sprays.
Distilled water can be purchased at most grocery or drug stores.
It is important to dilute the oil, as applying it directly to the dog's fur or skin while it is undiluted can cause irritation.
Spray the solution on the dog's ears and face, but make sure you avoid the eyes, mouth and nose as you are spraying. Use a damp cloth to dab, rather than spray, the areas around the ears, eyes, nose and mouth.

Economist Adam Smith's home revamp under way in Edinburgh
The next phase to restore the final home of the economist Adam Smith is getting under way in Edinburgh.
It is part of a £3.6m project to secure the future of Panmure House, which had been left derelict.
Work to underpin the 300-year-old building has been completed and the next stage will focus on the outside.
The £430,000 programme of works will involve repairing and re-slating the 17th century roof, plus conservation of the exterior stonework and windows.
The works, which are to take nine months, are supported by a £150,000 grant from Edinburgh World Heritage and funding from the Friends of Panmure House, as well as individual donations from around the world.
The house was bought by Edinburgh Business School (EBS) at Heriot Watt University in 2008.
'Intellectual endeavour'
EBS is conserving the A-listed building as a living memorial to one of the most influential members of the Scottish Enlightenment and to develop Smith's house as a world-class centre for education, events, debates about Smith's life and current economic issues.
Professor Keith Lumsden, academic director and founder of Edinburgh Business School, and the chair of the fundraising committee of the Panmure House Campaign, said: "Adam Smith is often said to be the world's first economist.
"He is a vital part of Scotland's heritage and a beacon of intellectual endeavour.
"Revitalising his last home as an educational centre will help ensure his pioneering thinking lives on in the minds of future generations.
"We are delighted to be getting this vital stage of the project to renovate Panmure house underway, making it wind and water tight and restoring the exterior to its former glory."
Adam Wilkinson, director of Edinburgh World Heritage, said: "Panmure House is an important historic building, not only because of its links to Adam Smith, the Enlightenment and modern socio-economic thinking, but also as rare survival of a seventeenth century town mansion.
"We welcome the carefully considered scheme for its re-use as a centre for economics and social studies, very much in keeping with the spirit of its past.
"Rethinking a significant building at risk in this way will support the surrounding area, bringing wider benefits for the people of the Canongate today."

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau unveiled a new pilot program on Wednesday designed to allow consumers the ability to electronically review and file mortgage closing documents.
The agency simultaneously released guidelines for how lenders could participate in the program, dubbed eClosings, saying it could help consumers who have complained closing documents are too complex and they don't have enough time to review them.
"These new homeowners leave the closing table with a whole new level of anxiety, as they find themselves wondering what was buried in the stack of paper that may create some nasty surprises in the years ahead," said CFPB Director Richard Cordray during a field hearing in Washington.
"We are unveiling new research on the challenges that consumers face in the closing process and identifying potential solutions. One of these potential solutions may be found in the eClosing pilot project that we are announcing today."
Some lenders already offer an electronic closing option but the CFPB said "adoption is low" and there is a lot of misinformation in the marketplace about it.
Cordray said the goal of the pilot program is to see whether the eClosing process would reduce costs and errors, increase consumer understanding of documents and give them more time to review documents to ultimately reduce surprises at the closing table.
However, he also acknowledged there may be issues with eClosings, such as data security risks in using electronic signatures or consumers feeling prompted to just click through documents without reading them.
"So we do not want innovation to come at the expense of consumers. Any electronic closing process that diminishes their ability to act in their own self-interest will raise serious concerns for us," Cordray said.
"But we aim to incentivize eClosing processes that will give consumers the opportunity to review documents in their home in advance, along with educational materials to promote greater understanding, while still retaining the option of reading them at the closing ceremony, where the final and most crucial decisions are ultimately made."
Representatives of the government-sponsored enterprises and trade groups selected to speak at the field hearing largely praised the CFPB's initiative to help encourage eClosings on a much broader scale. Many of them have already looked at or started offering an eClosing option, such as accepting electronic signatures.
"We really applaud the CFPB's efforts in this space," said Meg Burns, the senior associate director of the Office of Housing and Regulatory Policy at the Federal Housing Finance Agency. "We think that these efforts are actually quite critical to market recovery, to advancing housing finance reform, whether or not there's ever legislation."
Still, some groups offered a word of caution to the CFPB, including a consumer advocate on the panel who said there are still segments of homebuyers who either do not have a computer or hardly use the Internet and tend to be more susceptible to online fraud.
"I hope that you recognize that this might, unless carefully tailored, could be a pickle for fraud against those consumers who are not sophisticated," said Margot Saunders, of counsel at the National Consumer Law Center. "The whole world has not yet looked into the web...please don't create system that will be so much less expensive that the people on other side of the regional divide will be disadvantaged."
Cordray said the agency plans to launch the pilot project in the coming months and the first phase will include participants who are already offering an eClosing option to consumers.
The study and eClosing guidelines are part of the CFPB's "Know Before You Owe" mortgage initiative, which has previously included a rule requiring new, simpler disclosures for mortgage estimates and closings. The rule also requires that consumers receive the relevant disclosure documents at least three business days prior to closing. That rule goes into effect August 2015.
"Our new closing disclosure form helps address some of these issues because it is shorter and consumers have told us that it is much easier to use and to understand," Cordray said. "We believe the eClosing process may allow this form to stand out even more for consumers than if it is buried somewhere in a mound of paperwork."
Still, the agency said it needs to do more to address the cumbersome process for closing a mortgage since the incoming rule does not apply to other paperwork that consumers receive.
"The consumer bureau itself has authority only over a few of the items in the closing stack. The rest will require other stakeholders to make a commitment to help effectuate change," Cordray said. "And everyone involved needs to embrace the central idea that consumers should feel empowered and not undermined by the closing process."

British expats in Valencia have set up an action group to try and restore the city's decaying British Cemetery.
The campaign, which is called the Bonnie Project, was set up by a local expatriate women's club in honour of a member who died earlier this year.
Bonnie Hinzpeter, a British expat, had been keen to help restore the 19th century Protestant burial place to its former glory, but died of pancreatic cancer in the spring.
The land is owned by the British embassy in Spain but locals say it has fallen into some disrepair in recent years. It has also suffered from theft and vandalism.
Expat Diana Clifton-Sewell, a British member of the International Women's Club of Valencia who came up with the idea for the project, said the club hoped to make the cemetery a more dignified final resting place.
"Bonnie was a lovely person, who was very popular and very involved in community conservation work," said Ms Clifton-Sewell. "Regrettably, she died of cancer before she could work on the cemetery, so we decided doing it ourselves would be a fitting memorial."
Members of the IWC are already gardening and cleaning graves, and there are hopes that the derelict chapel, which has broken windows and a caved-in ceiling, will be sufficiently restored for services to be held in it.
"We're also looking at creating a Garden of Remembrance in what is currently an ugly abandoned spot, because the scattering of ashes there could follow a cremation held anywhere," said Ms Clifton-Sewell.
"Cremation's rather new in Spain, and we want to provide a quiet, beautifully cared for garden, where people could come to sit and remember their loved ones."
The cemetery was established over 150 years ago as a final resting place for expats and travellers who, because they were not Catholic, were not permitted to be buried in the consecrated burial grounds of Valencia's churches.
Many of those buried there were sailors or traders drawn to the city's bustling port, while others were engineers who helped to develop the local railway lines.
As the cemetery's name suggests, the majority of individuals interred there are British, but around half of the 350 burial plots are home to the remains of non-Catholics from other countries, such as Germany and Norway.
British expat Trevor Nicholas, who administers the cemetery on a voluntary basis, said that the number of people buried there had fallen as more and more Spanish cemeteries became non-denominational.
"The existence of the cemetery is in general not very well-known, though it is still open for burials," he said. "I hope the project raises people's awareness of it as a historic site."
A spokesman for the British embassy said that it had been in liasion with locals, and had so far approved repairs on the cemetery's fence and gate.

Shrimp plants bloom through out the warm weather. Normally pink, red and white in color I found this yellow one at the Extension Office plant sale in the fall.
Light shade is best for this plant's blooms, too much shade and the plant will get scraggly. It is one of the few flowering plants that will bring color to a shady area, and it will get its best color in part shade.
Shrimp plants may die back to the ground if we have long cold temperatures but should return in the spring. The yellow variety is more cold sensitive than the traditional red variety. This winter we had several hard freezes and the yellow shrimp plant was fine.
Shrimp plants are also drought tolerant once established, but they would rather receive regular watering. Fertile well drained soil is best. Trim ends to encourage bushy growth.
Shrimp plant can reach 3′ tall when happy. The yellow varieties are smaller than the traditional shrimp plant.
Extremely easy to grow. Not a favorite of deer, but is a favorite of hummingbirds.
Mine bloomed profusely all winter and is still doing so. I find it is rather scraggly looking with all the leaves and flowers on the top and bare stems at the bottom. Once the weather warms I'll cut it back some and hope that it fills out.
Surviving and blooming occasionally during the drought and 3 months of 100'F plus days summer 2011

PHILADELPHIA (MUTigers.com) - Mizzou Football head coach Gary Pinkel has been named a finalist for the Maxwell Football Club's Collegiate Coach of the Year Award, the organization announced Tuesday (Dec. 3). In his 13th season leading the Tigers, Pinkel has firmly led Mizzou back into the national spotlight with its 11-1 overall record and Southeastern Conference Eastern Division title (7-1 SEC), in only the school's second season of SEC competition.
The Tigers' resurgence in 2013 is one of the best turnaround stories of the college football season as injuries derailed Mizzou's inaugural SEC campaign in 2012. A refocused and healthy Mizzou squad has ascended to No. 5 in the Bowl Championship Series standings heading into Saturday's SEC Championship Game vs. BCS No. 3 Auburn inside the Georgia Dome in Atlanta, Ga.
Mizzou's 28-21 victory over then-No. 19 Texas A&M (Nov. 30) not only clinched the SEC East for the Tigers, but also matched Pinkel with legendary Tiger head coach Don Faurot with an all-time program-best 101 wins. It was also Mizzou's fourth over a ranked opponent this season.
Under Pinkel, the Tigers have consistently competed at the highest level. Mizzou has won a conference division title in four of the last seven seasons (2007, 2008 and 2010 Big 12 North; 2013 SEC East). This year's group for Pinkel became the third team in school history to win 11 games or more in a season (1960, 11-0; 2007, 12-2).
Joining Pinkel as a finalist are Duke's David Cutcliffe and Auburn's Gus Malzahn. Voting is now open for the finalist selection for the MFC Collegiate Coach of the Year. Eligible voters include NCAA Bowl Subdivision Head Coaches and Football Sports Information Directors, Maxwell Football Club members and selected national media. The winner announcement will be made on Thursday, Dec. 19 and the award will be formally presented at the 77th Maxwell Awards Gala which will be held in March 2014 in Atlantic City, N.J.

The Panthers had hoped to build on their division title, but missed the playoffs this season. Taking the next step forward might require changes. Meanwhile, the Winnipeg Jets face an important off-season.
A year after winning the Atlantic Division title, the Florida Panthers failed to qualify for the 2017 Stanley Cup playoffs. It's a bitter disappointment for a club that began this season hoping to build upon their 103-point campaign of 2015-16.
The Panthers' struggles could result in some significant off-season changes. Aging veterans such as Jaromir Jagr and Thomas Vanek are unrestricted free agents and might not return.
Several players under contract beyond this season, however, could also be on the move. Following the Panthers 4-2 loss on Monday to the Buffalo Sabres, GM and interim head coach Tom Rowe said some underachievers on long-term contracts could be playing elsewhere next season.
Rowe didn't single anyone out. There are 10 players – forwards Aleksander Barkov, Vincent Trocheck, Nick Bjugstad, Reilly Smith and Jonathan Huberdeau, defensemen Aaron Ekblad, Keith Yandle and Jason Demers and goaltenders Roberto Luongo and James Reimer – carrying lengthy deals.
Of these, half (Barkov, Bjugstad, Huberdeau, Ekblad and Luongo) were hampered or sidelined for long periods by injuries this season. Trocheck, who skated for Team North America at last fall's World Cup of Hockey, is their scoring leader (53 points) and among the few notable Panthers to remain healthy and reasonably consistent in their production.
Smith, 25, saw his production drop this season. After tallying 25 goals and 50 points in 2015-16, he has only 15 goals and 35 points in 75 games.
Yandle (40 points) and Demers (27 points) were brought in to stabilize the blueline. While they've put up good offensive numbers, the Panthers are among this season's worst defensive clubs.
Reimer was seen as Luongo's eventual successor, but he's also struggled with consistency. The 29-year-old won only 16 of 36 starts, with a 2.60 goals-against average and a save percentage of .917. Luongo, of course, won't be going anywhere. There will be few takers for a 37-year-old goalie carrying an annual salary-cap hit of over $4.5 million through 2020-21.
It seems unlikely that Rowe will move out one of his younger core players such as Barkov, Bjugstad or Huberdeau. Still, if he and his staff feel the Panthers need a shakeup for 2017-18, perhaps one of them will be dealt for a more consistent and healthier forward.
The Winnipeg Jets are also experiencing a disappointing end to a promising season. Despite the addition of rookie sensation Patrik Laine, center Mark Scheifele's rise to prominence as an offensive star, Nikolaj Ehlers impressive sophomore performance and the reliability of power forward Blake Wheeler, the Jets are outside the playoff picture for the fifth time in six seasons.
GM Kevin Cheveldayoff faces what the Winnipeg Sun's Paul Friesen considers his most critical off-season. Friesen notes the Jets possess "a talented top-six forward group, a black hole in goal and a razor-thin defense."
Goaltending's been the Jets weakness under Cheveldayoff. Former starter Ondrej Pavelec spent most of this season banished to the minors. Promising Connor Hellebuyck was inconsistent, winning 24 games and posting a 2.94 GAA and .905 SP. He clearly isn't ready yet to be their full-time starter. Backup Michael Hutchinson (2.96 GAA, .902 SP) had a season to forget.
Cheveldayoff cannot ignore this ongoing problem. He must find a suitable starting goaltender via free agency or the trade market.
Free-agent options could include Ben Bishop of the Los Angeles Kings or Scott Darling of the Chicago Blackhawks. The Pittsburgh Penguins could try to move veteran Marc-Andre Fleury in order to protect Matt Murray in the expansion draft. Antti Raanta of the New York Rangers and Philipp Grubauer of the Washington Capitals could also hit the trade block this summer.
Cheveldayoff could also look toward a trade or a free-agent signing to buttress his blueline. He could also face a decision regarding defenseman Jacob Trouba's future with the club. The 23-year-old is signed through 2017-18 and Cheveldayoff said he sees him as a key part of the Jets future.
Despite missing time to a contract holdout, a suspension and an upper-body injury, Trouba is still having a solid season. But before re-signing his current two-year deal with the Jets, he staged that holdout last fall in hopes of forcing a trade.
Trouba could revisit that option this summer. If he does, Cheveldayoff could face another standoff or try shopping him for a decent return.

Orange County, California, sometimes called the Orange Curtain because of its staunchly
conservative political leanings, is host to a number of brewpubs, though not as many as its
population would suggest.
Irvine, one of the county's largest cities, has been the home of two brewpubs since
about 1996. McCormick & Schmick's, a fine restaurant chain, was a partner in the
failed Willamette Valley Brewing venture from Oregon. The multi-facility brewing
scheme failed, but the brewery in Irvine survived. Steelhead Brewery & Cafe, the
successful Eugene, Oregon outfit that also has brewpubs in San Francisco and
Burlingame, CA, has an expansive facility on Campus Drive.
Joining these two well-established brewpubs in August 1998 was another chain
operation. Rock Bottom Restaurant Brewery, part of the growing Boulder, CO
company, began brewing in the Irvine Spectrum Complex, a massive shopping and
entertainment conglomeration just north of the merging 5 and 405 freeways. In addition
to a constant flow of patrons thanks to its interior mall location and an adjoining, affiliated
dual piano bar called Sing Sing, this Rock Bottom was a little classier than most- must be
part of that Orange County charm.
Rock 'n roll filled the air. Stained wood glistened as brightly as the seven stainless
fermenters behind the bar. Dining was in full swing, this Tuesday night, when we pulled
up to the bar for an appetizing brick oven pizza. Had this been Thursday, a cask
conditioned firkin would have been tapped at 5:00. Two cask brews, Regatta Red and
Golden Stallion Pale Ale, were available. I chose the Pale Ale cask, which was also on
regular carbonation, enjoying its medium mouthfeel, fruity body and subtle hoppy
aftertaste. Complex from crystal, chocolate and roasted malts, the Red's taste was
surprising smooth, finishing with a tender kiss of hops. Bogie Bogey Brown was sweet,
showing little sign of hops balance until the end of each swallow. Cryin' Coyote Light Ale
aped a pils lager with its frangible Saaz hops finish. Bolstering its anteater logo, Sticky
Tongue Stout presented a big initial alcohol flavor. As it warmed from its way-cold state,
smoothness resulted, though it hid a harsh tannin bite.
Although a little same same, I have found Rock Bottom to be one of the nation's
best brewpub chains. Irvine's is one of their best.
Over in Anaheim, home of the California Angels, J.T. Schmidt's Brewhouse &
Eatery opened in March 1997, across the street from The Pond, home of Mickey's
hockey Mighty Ducks. Lots of dining space, including a banquet room suitable for
meetings and private parties, and a full fledged food menu, featuring everything from
blackened fish tacos to filet mignon, greet the hungry. The thirsty must settle down at the
large island bar for one of JT's five brews. Emil's Amber Ale was malty through and
through. Toasted Oat Brown Stout, billed as a "light brown stout, not too heavy but still
rich in flavor," was recommended for hot California days. A summer stout is an
oxymoron if there ever was one. Its golden brown body was topped with a tan head. A
thin mouthfeel revealed a weak chocolate taste. Malty with no noticeable hops, it left a
sour aftertaste. California Hefeweizen was cloudy and Bavarian. Anaheim Pale Ale was
fruity, lacking in proper pale ale hops. Anxious to move on, I left Duck Pond Black and JT
Light for another visit.
JT Schmidt's is a relatively new brewpub and needs time to work out the bugs.
It's great location and well-designed facility bode well for its success. I'll try their beers
another time to see what time's passage has taught.
Stayed tuned, there's more going on in the City of Orange.

The Countess of Mar asked Her Majesty's Government:
Lord Lucas: This study will examine neuropsychological effects including a number of standard tests to allow a quantitative estimate of psychiatric morbidity, anxiety and depression. This may give an indication of whether there is any relationship between exposure to organophosphates and a propensity to suicide.
The Countess of Mar asked Her Majesty's Government:
The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State, Department of Health (Baroness Cumberlege): There are monographs for carbaryl (the bulk drug substance) and carbaryl lotion (the preparation used in the treatment of head lice) in the British Pharmacopoeia 1993. These are found on pages 1511 and 1637 of the British Pharmacopoeia 1993, Addendum 1995. A monograph for malathion has been authorised for inclusion in the European Pharmacopoeia and when this is nearing completion monographs for the preparations used in the treatment of head lice will be prepared for inclusion in the British Pharmacopoeia.
The Association of British Pharmaceutical Industry (ABPI) has advised that all data sheets supplied to the ABPI by its member companies are included in the compendium. However, inclusion is voluntary, so in any individual case it is the decision of the company holding the marketing authorisation whether or not to submit a data sheet for inclusion.
The Countess of Mar asked Her Majesty's Government:
Baroness Cumberlege: Health surveillance, which includes developmental checks, is provided by general practitioners and community health service staff for all children up to age five and by the school health service
The Countess of Mar asked Her Majesty's Government:
Baroness Cumberlege: The Health and Safety Executive Guidance Notes refer to the biological monitoring of workers exposed to organophosphorus pesticides. The organophosphate based human medicines for the treatment of head lice infestations are different formulations, used only intermittently at low doses and with limited exposure. The guidance notes are therefore not applicable to human medicines use. Unlike workers exposed to organophosphates, there are no data on serious adverse reactions to human medicines containing malathion.
The Countess of Mar asked Her Majesty's Government:
Baroness Cumberlege: Resistance of human head lice to the available human medicines containing carbaryl, malathion, permethrin and phenothrin varies over time and location, so it is not possible to quantify it. Measures are being taken by local initiatives to rotate treatments over time to avoid development of resistance to the medicines available.
The Countess of Mar asked Her Majesty's Government:
Baroness Cumberlege: A number of published papers are available which cover the in-vitro and in-vivo effects in humans of exposure to the listed chemicals and to pesticides generally. These include information about effects on the human foetus.
The Countess of Mar asked Her Majesty's Government:
Baroness Cumberlege: The potential exposure of children and adults to organophosphates (or any other active ingredient) in flea collars, fly sprays and plant insecticides is considered as part of the licensing or approvals systems. No product would be licensed or approved if, in the view of the expert committees advising the Government, it presented an unacceptable risk to human health. I am unaware of research into the usage of pesticides in family homes.
The Countess of Mar asked Her Majesty's Government:
Baroness Cumberlege: Yes. The Government are aware of research in Germany on sensitivity to synthetic pyrethroid insecticides and officials of the Department of Health have written to the appropriate officials in Germany to obtain more information.
The whole area of multiple chemical sensitivity continues to be a subject of considerable controversy. The Government will be guided by the consensus of medical opinion on this issue but meanwhile accept that diagnoses will be made on the basis of present understanding of illness caused by organic chemicals.
Baroness Jay of Paddington asked Her Majesty's Government:
Baroness Cumberlege: It is for local health authorities to determine where their cancer units should be situated, based on the needs of their populations. Any estimation of cost will be undertaken locally.
Baroness Jay of Paddington asked Her Majesty's Government:
Baroness Cumberlege: We announced on 18 October proposals for two pilot schemes to evaluate the
Lord Rix asked Her Majesty's Government:
Baroness Cumberlege: Total Government spending on the National Health Service, including the money available for hospital and community health services, will again increase in real terms next year. It will be for health authorities locally to determine to what priorities this new money will be directed.
Lord Harris of Greenwich asked Her Majesty's Government:
The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State, Department of Transport (Viscount Goschen): The timing of the re-opening of the East London line will depend on the outcome of London Underground's re-application to the London Docklands Development Corporation for listed building consent to strengthen and waterproof the tunnel which carries the line under the Thames.
Lord Gainford asked Her Majesty's Government:
Viscount Goschen: We shall be laying a Statutory Instrument tomorrow to amend the Traffic Signs Regulations and General Directions 1994 as they apply in England, Wales and Scotland.
Lord Pearson of Rannoch asked Her Majesty's Government:
The Minister of State, Department of the Environment (Earl Ferrers): The Department of the Environment is currently formulating its research programme for 1996-97 and subsequent years. No final decision has yet been taken on the composition of this programme.

During the past century or so, the concept of pragmatism has become the guiding force behind how conservative churches function and how the gathered church worships. According to the Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary, pragmatism is "a practical approach to problems and affairs." Philosophically, pragmatism is "an American movement in philosophy founded by C. S. Peirce and William James and marked by the doctrines that the meaning of conceptions is to be sought in their practical bearings, that the function of thought is to guide action, and that truth is preeminently to be tested by the practical consequences of belief."
Basically, pragmatism boils down to doing what works, doing what produces the desired results. The April 25, 1912, issue of The Christian Index, the weekly paper of the Georgia Baptist Convention, editorialized: "'What can it accomplish?' is the question that meets every man today who presents to the world for its consideration either some new invention, or some new theory of social, civil or political activity; or some religious belief and practice." That which applied to individuals also applied to organizations: "'What are you accomplishing for the betterment of men and of society?' is the question which every organization of men has to meet and answer. And the higher the claim of such organization the more searching the investigation that then will make into the results it is achieving." Obviously, then, those churches which were producing tangible results were the ones which had satisfactorily answered the question. For support, the work of the Salvation Army was presented: "Some years ago, the Salvation Army began its operations, and by its strange, biazarre [sic] methods, shocked the sensibilities of the thoughtful. It had to run the gauntlet of suspicion, ridicule, contempt, and misrepresentation. But it stood the test. It has done a great work where no one else was working. In the parlance of the day, it has 'made good;' and now men of every creed and nation recognize it as a great power for good. Its officers get a hearing anywhere and purses open to its pleas that remain closed to those of regular churches."
Neither the doctrine nor the methods of the Salvation Army were examined for biblical faithfulness. The criterion for approving the Salvation Army's methods was that they had "made good." The Index found support in the words of Jesus: "'By their fruits ye shall know them' is as true of churches and denominations as it is of individuals."
Whatever works, whatever gets the most persons to the worship "service," whatever appeals to the populace so we can get out our message—these are the concepts which have been directing much of the work of evangelical churches for over a century. In the twenty-first century we find churches following the latest fads to attract a following. Pastors wearing suits are out; pastors preaching in jeans and untucked shirts are in. Reverent worship is out; high-powered bands are in. The use of discretion in sermons is out; explicit talk about sex is in.
Many of these churches teach doctrine which we would endorse, and yet there seems to be danger lurking. When a church appeals to outsiders through a "hip" pastor and a certain style of music and the use of coarse speech, that church is on the slippery slope to compromising its message. It may not happen in the first generation, but the next generation will discover that people are turned off by concepts such as personal holiness, judgment and hell, the wrath of God, and the inability of humans to come to Christ in their own power. After the hip wears off, the message will come under attack. The apostle Paul's warning in 2 Timothy 4:3-4 will come into play: "For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions, and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander off into myths."

My Review
Aug 10, 2013
I took this salad to a potluck at church and everyone enjoyed it.
Apr 15, 2013
Made this for a B'day party & it was very tasty & colorful. When you coated it with the salad dressing & refrigerated it for 2 hrs., I was surprised how the broccoli absorbed the dressing along with the mushrooms & onions. After adding the tomatoes, it was very colorful & presented itself well. There was a little left over & it tasted pretty good the next day, with the flavor of the dressing blended through out the salad. My husband liked it but said, "You have to like those vegetables to like the salad". I love marinated vegetables so I thought it was great! Thanks Dorothy Myrick for the great recipe.

Keurig Green Mountain Surges After Earnings Beat And Announcement
Keurig Green Mountain (NASDAQ: GMCR), formally known as Green Mountain Coffee, on Wednesday reported very strong second quarter results.
Keurig Green Mountain earned $1.08 per share, beating the consensus estimate of $0.95. Revenue grew 10 percent year-over-year to $1.1 billion, coming in $50 million more than analysts expected.
Net income attributable to the company rose to $162.1 million from $132.4 million in the same quarter a year ago, as sales of single-serve K-cups rose 13 percent to $898 million, while sales of Keurig brewing machines and accessories rose nine percent to $137.6 million.
Keurig ended the quarter with $1.1 billion in cash, even after returning nearly $800 million to shareholders in the form of dividends and share repurchases in the quarter.
Keurig also announced that it will expand its relationship with J.M. Smucker (NYSE: SJM) to make and sell Folgers, Millstone and other brands in formats that will work with the new Keurig brewing system.
Related: Analysts Almost Unanimously Bullish On Candy Crush Maker
Finally, Keurig authorized a new share repurchase program of up to $1 billion that expires in two years.
"We are very pleased with our performance and continue to be optimistic about the momentum in the business and the opportunities in front of us," said Brian Kelley, Keurig's President and CEO in a press release.
Bank Of America: Solid Quarter
Bryan Spillane of Bank of America in a note to clients on Thursday explains that Keurig reported a solid quarter and management offered guidance that could confirm continued expansion and stable share trends in the single serve category.
Spillane also notes that the company remains on track to release its Keurig 2.0 system in the fall and management seems "comfortable with progress" on retaining and expanding its portfolio of partners such as Smuckers.
Additionally, Spillane notes that Keurig is on track for a 2015 release of its Keurig Cold system as the company is building manufacturing capacity in the southeastern U.S.
Not all is positive for Spillane, however, as the phasing impact of share repurchases is slower than what he had forecasted due in part to options exercises.
Shares are Neutral rated with a $122 price target.
S&P Capital IQ: Solid Growth Ahead For The Company, Not So Much For Shares
Joseph Agnese of S&P Capital IQ sees plenty of optimism for Keurig to grow over the coming year with the Keurig 2.0 brewer system debuting in the second half of 2014 and Keurig Cold to debut later in 2015.
According to Agnese, Keurig's strategy will involve converting unlicensed single serve producers to partner with the company, as unlicensed pods will not function in the new Keurig 2.0 machine.
"We expect that Keurig 2.0 will use only owned or licensed portion packs, giving Keurig additional protection against unlicensed portion pack producers, which have been gaining market share with Keurig's current primary Keurig coffee system," Agnese wrote in a note on Wednesday.
Agense is projecting sales in full year fiscal 2014 to rise only 11.6 percent, compared to a growth of 12.1 percent in fiscal 2013 due to retailers deferring purchases of Keurig machines until Keurig 2.0 is available for sale.
Looking forward, Agense expects Keurig's operating margin to improve in a lower green coffee costs environment and benefits from the recently signed 10-year agreement with Coca-Cola products to be used in the Keurig Cold system.
Nevertheless, shares are Hold rated with a $110 price target.

NOHIDE Shoes are special as they use an extremely valuable material known as Microfibre Vegan leather in place of real leather. This is among the most expensive alternative to leather due to the technology used. Not just in looks but even a microscopic view of the material resembles the structure of real leather. Our Vegan leather is waterproof, strong, easy to clean, breathable, and stain resistant.
Unlike real leather, NOHIDE's Leather has definite advantage as it does not get spoiled after coming in contact with water.
Cleaning NOHIDE Vegan Shoes is easy, simply use a good quality brush to remove loose surface dirt and use a wet cloth to clean the surface.
If the dirt is cohesive, you can use a soft brush or a cloth along with running water on the surface of the shoes, and let them dry instantly. Do not Scrub, and it is preferred to dry shoes in room temperature.

There probably isn't anyone who doesn't like to do some kind of travel. After all, we all need some time away from the hustle and bustle of the daily grind. A lot of us though simply can't afford something that is outrageously expensive and are always trying to find some way to make it a cheap holiday. There are a lot of things that you can do to have a great vacation to wherever you are planning and do it on a budget.
It's really important that for any vacation that you make sure that you plan it in advance so that you will have plenty of time to work on your budget plan. One of the most expensive things is probably the price to get where you are going. So it's a good idea to maybe visit some of those discount websites that offer you special deals on airline tickets. You should also consider taking connecting flights because these save you money as well. It's also a good idea to consider traveling as light as you possibly can. Try if possible to keep it down to one suitcase for each person.
You can also save some money by trying to get it to where you will fly into and out of the same airport. For some reason, this is a lot cheaper not just on flights but with rental cars as well. If you are traveling to a couple of different countries, and they still make you change planes you might just want to consider staying a couple of days where the flight is and then continue onto the next country a few days later. This in the long run will save you money on your air fare.
No matter where you plan to take your holidays to, it's always a good idea to plan out your meals. Do some research on places to eat before you get there so that you will already know where the less expensive places are to eat at. Try your best to avoid eating breakfast at the hotel you are staying at unless it is included in your room fee. Not only is the cost of breakfast in the hotel expensive, the food won't be as good as it might be at a place outside of the hotel. It is also a good idea to make lunch your biggest meal because anywhere you go, you will discover that lunch prices are cheaper than dinner prices.
When including transportation, especially if you are traveling in Europe, it is sometimes a lot cheaper to get multi-day travel passes. These usually are discounted. You also might want to consider traveling at night if your trip on a train is going to be a long one. Traveling at night is cheaper than traveling during the day in many places. You should also try to avoid a taxi at all cost. The best thing for a tourist to do when trying to get around in a city is to take the public transit system, it's cheaper and easier.
When you are considering your accommodations, you might want to consider these ideas. One is try staying in a hotel that is in a smaller city outside of the place you are wanting to visit. Staying in one of the larger cities anywhere is going to cost you a lot more than if you were to stay in a small town nearby. Also you might consider renting a vacation home if you plan on staying in one place for several days. These are far more comfortable and a lot cheaper than a hotel.
Another thing you should do, even if you have made reservations, always be on the look out for last minute deals. If you find something that is far less expensive than what you already have reserved. Take it! Remember, can be canceled and if you do so within a certain time limit you should be able to get your deposit back in full.

Skype users targeted in security threat
Skype is being used by hackers to spread a malicious 'worm' that infects Windows PCs and can lock users out of their machines.
Skype users are warned not to click on any messages or links that they do not recognise.%VIRTUAL-SkimlinksPromo%
The security threat comes in the form of a seemingly innocent instant message on Skype saying "lol is this your new profile pic?" When users click on the message they unwittingly download a file containing a Trojan horse malware file.
This Trojan horse opens a backdoor, allowing a remote hacker to take control of the infected PCs.
"Before you know it, your computer has been recruited into a botnet [security threats that spread via Facebook, Twitter and instant messengers] and could fall victim to a ransomware attack," explains a spokesperson for internet security specialist, Sophos.
Security threat
Skype has not disclosed how many users are affected by the threat. It said in a statement: "Skype takes the user experience very seriously, particularly when it comes to security. We are aware of this malicious activity and are working quickly to mitigate its impact.
"We strongly recommend upgrading to the newest Skype version and applying updated security features on your computer.
"Additionally, following links - even when from your contacts - that look strange or are unexpected is not advisable."
Suspicious links
Sophos warns that Skype users may be less in the habit of being suspicious about links sent to them than, say, Facebook users.
"Always remember to be suspicious of unsolicited out-of-character messages sent to you by your online friends," said a spokesperson.
"You don't know that it was a friend who sent you the message, all you know is that it was their account which posted it to you... and who knows if it was compromised or not?"

WASHINGTON (CBSDC) — A barge broke away from its support system at the Main Avenue Fish Market in Southwest DC, causing diesel fuel to leak into the Potomac River.
Around 11:30 a.m Tuesday somebody noticed a sheen on the water and notified authorities.
A 500 gallon fuel tank on the back side of the barge that broke free appears to be the source of the spilled fuel. Authorities say only about 40 gallons of fuel actually spilled into the water.
"The wind today kept everything tight up against the bank," said D.C. Fire and EMS Battalion Chief Ed Mills. "We haven't had a lot of it go out very far into the river."
Authorities say the barge, which is home to Pruitt's Seafood, was not occupied when the tank broke free.
A company has been hired to help cleanup the spill.
The barge was part of a cluster of fish wharves at the market.
No injuries were reported in the incident.

It's almost here!
It's almost Cockpuncher day at the Indie Alehouse! Yesterday we bottled only 800 bottles of Cockpuncher, which will be released on Wednesday at 5:00 in our bottle shop.
This is one of our favourite days at Indie. For the last 28 days we have had this beer in the tank; fermenting, aging, dry hopping, and maturing into something bold and awesome. During these agonizing 4 weeks, we get to taste it as it evolves along its journey into the bottle. Now for one more day we get to keep it to ourselves, while we bottle, label and 'sample' just one more time to make sure it's perfect before it goes on sale. Such dedication of the brewing staff is inspiring…
But the best part of Cockpuncher release day is we get to meet all kinds of un-apologetic 'hop-heads' who come to the Indie Alehouse to enjoy this beer. Because it's a beer that needs to be consumed FAST to enjoy it at its best (not on the way home fast, but once you get home fast), people are excited to get it, go home and drink it. With other major beer releases, you are likely getting a beer to age, mature and enjoy in the future – but with IPAs, fresh is best – so the excitement level is different, and 'hop-heads' are different too.
Generally not concerned with what other people think, hop-heads are indifferent to the multitude who complain many IPAs are too bitter, and 'why can't we just make a nice Amber ale or a clean Pilsner to traditional styles…" etc. No, hop-heads don't care that "on trend" beers might be Pilsners or session beers, we like hops, and plenty of them.
While we make many different 'styles' of beers at Indie, the big, hoppy IPAs will always have a place here, and Cockpuncher will be top of the heap.

I caught them playing together….really this is the first time. Baby N was just as engaged as she was 🙂
I love the glasses. Nice professional medical personel touch.
That is such a cute shot!
Lauren had that doctors kit too! The blue glasses are STILL a hit around here!! (I'm performing random acts of comments today. You were on the forum when I decided to leave some comments. Have a happy day!)
How cute is this??!!! L O V E!!! 🙂
Is there a doctor in the house? LOL… Oh my, that's definitely one for the scrapbook. I love the baby's look; it's like she asking is everything okay? The way her arms are I can envision her motions based on how my little ones would react to older siblings. Just the beginning of the sweet playtime!
The patient looks a bit wary of the procedure… 😉
It IS great when they start to play together, isn't it? Mine are 3.5 & 6 and they held hands today during library story time. The whole time. It was pure awesomeness.
ps: Just found your blog through your post on Kathleen's blog. Fellow novel-writer-on-hold. HI!

Chambers Spell it Yourself! Paperback
by Gordon T. Hawker
Spell It Yourself! is a consistently-bestselling title for upper primary school pupils that is now being published by Chambers.

Therefore the book not only makes it quick and easy for a child to find the spellings they need, but it also reinforces knowledge of word families and of how to spell words from their root forms.
Homophones of the words are indicated, both to help children find the right word and to encourage them to learn the correct spellings.
Useful additional sections give the spellings of first names, countries, contractions such as mustn't, and all the different forms of numbers.
