TRENTON – Gov. Chris Christie signed legislation that will prevent civil service applicants called to active national guard duty from losing their place on hiring lists.
"The unemployment and under employment rate for military veterans is far too high," said state Sen. Diane Allen (R- Burlington), a sponsor of the bill. "If a member of the New Jersey National Guard sees his or her attempt to gain civil service employment interrupted by active military duty, that person should not have to start over upon his or her return. This is an important protection for those who give so much to keep this country safe and free."
"Jobs are hard enough to come by in this economy, but even harder for service members who can be called to active duty at any time," said Assemblyman Albert Coutinho (D-Essex), another sponsor of the legislation. "These soldiers should not have to forfeit a job opportunity because of their military service. This helps ensure that these soldiers have a fair shot at securing employment to support their families when they return home."
The new law allows a member of the Guard or the Reserves who is called to active federal military service – and who was on an active open competitive employment list prior to deployment that expired before the member returned home – to be placed on an active open competitive employment list for the same title and jurisdiction.
It allows an applicant to be placed on two lists only if the first list expires in less than 12 months and the placement on a second list occurs within 12 months after the filing of the application. As part of the law, the applicant must meet all current eligibility requirements at the time of application for placement on a list for the same title and jurisdiction.
Under the law, a service member will have one year from the expiration date of the original list he or she was on to submit proof of service and an application to be placed on a new list. Placement on the new list will be for prospective appointments, based upon the score on the original list, and the service member will be listed after disabled veterans and veterans
The law is a result of the specific case SFG John K. Blagojevich from Audubon. Blagojevich was called to active duty while being considered for a civil service position. He was dropped from consideration for that position due to his deployment. Blagojevich was still deployed during the next testing cycle and was ineligible for placement on the next list generated.

The Part of "Illegal" That I Don't Understand
by, 05-26-2010 at 08:44 PM (1016 Views)
What part of "illegal" don't you understand?
This question is the traditional refrain of the anti-immigrant crowd. What they don't seem to understand is that in the same family, one spouse may be illegal while the other spouse is a U.S. citizen or a lawful permanent resident. Their children may also be U.S. citizens.
In such cases, does it make sense to arrest and deport the illegal spouse, and separate the family for weeks, months or even years?
I just received a phone call from the husband of a registered nurse. He is a U.S. citizen. He and his wife have been married for over a year and are the parents of a U.S. citizen child who is being breast fed. Since he became a naturalized citizen only recently, his wife who was present in the U.S. on a student visa decided to pursue her green card application through her job. She takes care of patients at a local hospital.
The wife originally entered the U.S. as a visitor, changed her status to student and once she obtained an RN license and an offer of employment, she applied for adjustment of status to permanent resident.
A few months ago, the USCIS scheduled her for an interview. At the interview, she learned that she had been ordered deported by an Immigration Judge years before. She was stunned. Why had USCIS approved her application to change her status from visitor to student? Government mistake. Why had USCIS accepted her application for adjustment of status and issued her a work permit? Government mistake.
After the interview, the USCIS denied her application for adjustment of status. Fortunately, her husband soon became a naturalized citizen, and submitted an immigrant visa petition on her behalf. The USCIS approved the petition.
The next step was for her to apply for a green card.
However, as her husband informed me today, 5 ICE agents appeared at the hospital this afternoon and arrested his wife.
Does this make any sense to anyone? Certainly, it makes no sense to me.
Maybe this is the part of "illegal" that I don't understand.
P.S. - On June 1, thanks to the hard work of Attorney Ellen Ma Lee of our office, ICE released our client on her own recognizance!

Greetings! I bought my present residence in 2002 which, somewhat to my dismay at the time, came with a pool. But my 5 boys were delighted. After most of a season pouring in a fortune of baquacil products and still rarely being able to see the bottom drain, I found poolforum.com and braved the conversion. Pool management has been relatively simple since then, and much, much cheaper. Furthermore, I now love our pool! Last summer, I lamented the demise of poolforum.com, but never came over here. Thanks for creating the new forum.
I opened my pool on Sunday Mar 2 even though the water was still only 50 - just got tired of looking at the pool cover. Other than being cold, the water was in good shape - still 3ppm FC, 43 CYA, TA 100, low ph at 6.7 (my fill water from a well is acidic) but a couple of boxes of borax fixed that. I found a lot of small blue particles in the skimmer sock - after a few minutes of puzzlement, I figured out that they came from the bottom of the deteriorating winter cover. . . . now, after a couple of days of filtering, they're basically all gone.
I'll post a picture once the leaves come out on the (too many!) trees surrounding the pool.

The red-headed ash borer is a type of beetle that is commonly found throughout North America. It is scientifically known as Neoclytus acuminatus. The ash borer is generally black and red with four lines of yellow running perpendicularly along its back.Continue Reading
The ash borer is commonly mistaken for a wasp because of its black and yellow coloring and its ability to fly. It derives its name from the damage it does to hardwood trees during its larval stage.
When young, the small milk-colored larvae burrow into the heart of a dead or dying tree and use the wood as nourishment, destroying wood that is often intended for use. This insect is considered something of a pest for this reason. The larvae continue eating the inside of the tree until undergoing metamorphosis, at which point the adult ash borers eat their way out.Learn more about Bugs

Hello: Jibreel Black
MGoBlog's own Tom Van Haaren reported that things looked good with OH DE/DT Jibreel Black on his official visit, and now GBW is reporting that Black has given his word to the Wolverines.
Informative update coming later.
The gurus are all over the map with this kid, with Scout calling him a 4* tackle while Rivals and ESPN both think of him as a 3* d-end. At Michigan, he'll probably end up on the interior of the line, as the Wolverines need much more help on the inside than they do out. ESPN even points out in their evaluation:
He is a good example of why not to judge a book by its cover. On film, he has kind of a thick and squatty build with less-than-ideal height. He almost looks like a defensive tackle, but plays the end position well.
So, if he plays like a tackle, and most schools that he has committed to (Michigan is #3 behind Indiana and Cincinnati) have considered him a tackle, why not grade him as a tackle? Anyway, ESPN's judgment of his game:
There are more naturally athletic ends, but he can get it done. He is a good wrap-up tackler and plays with a good motor. As a pass-rusher, he can bring some heat off the edge. He works to attack that outside shoulder and use his weapons to knock the blockers hands down and turn the corner. He does not look like a dangerous edge rusher, but he can cause some problems.
Again, it seems as though they're "meh"-ish on him as a defensive end, but his upside as a tackle seems much higher. Scout's brief evaluation of him falls in line with that:
Black is a player who could line up as a defensive end or at the tackle position. He's got great burst and will give all out effort on each play. Does a good job going lateral and shows great strength and toughness. With good size and speed, Black is still learning techniques and moves that will take his game to another level. Special player who doesn't get the credit he deserves.
(Sidetrack: I never understood people whose job it is to rate players calling a particular player is underrated. If you think that, just raise his rating, no? That's on you, man). An athletic defensive tackle who is still a little raw, as Scout lists his only weakness as technique, but strengths of body control, explosion, and effort. From a local article when he committed to the Hoosiers, Black gives a short breakdown of his skills:
Black brings a combination of speed, strength, and technique to IU. "I'm a very physical player, and my footwork and handwork separates me. I use my hands a lot to get free, and that allows me to get to the running back and quarterback. And I'm pretty fast for being 295 lbs, 4.9 speed right there."
He's probably overstating his footwork and hand technique, since those attributes are listed by others a the ones he needs the most work on. Also: 295 pounds is a huge difference from what the recruiting site list his weight, in the 260-pound range. Did the writer just make a typographical error of 259? That has to be the case.
As a guy who is considered. a tweener between defensive end and tackle, he probably won't develop into the big 1-tech space-eater that MIchigan is lacking in this class, but the 3-tech Ryan Van Bergen position may be a better option, with Richard Ash given time to grow into a 1-tech.
Black had previously been committed to both Indiana and Cincinnati, so he obviously held offers from them. Kentucky, Ohio, West Virginia, Michigan State, Bowling Green, Purdue, Syracuse, South Florida, Kansas, Wake Forest, Minnesota, South Carolina, Illinois, Michigan offered him in March, so it's not like he was some fall-back plan: the Wolverines really liked this guy.
Following his junior season, he also picked up some interest from Alabama, as well as Tennessee back when they had the all-star recruiting staff. He also received interest (but no offer) from the in-state Buckeyes.
As a junior, Black racked up 76 tackles and 8 sacks, along with 3 forced fumbles and 2 recoveries, with one going all the way to the end zone. That was his first season playing defensive end, as he had previously been a tackle. His senior year, he had 10 sacks and 61 total tackles along with 2 forced fumbles, as Wyoming made it to the State Finals.
He was named All-Ohio Defensive Player of the Year, sharing the honor with MSU commit Travis Jackson. That, of course, also means he was named 1st-Team All-State.
His self-reported time is 4.9, though Rivals gives him credit for a 4.8-second 40-yard dash. I'll take his word for it, since he would be more likely to exaggerate how fast he is, and didn't do so. That gets a mere one FAKE out of five.
He has a highlight video up on Youtube, but Black's ScoutingOhio video is longer (and therefore better, of course):
Black is Michigan's third defensive tackle in the class of 2010 (more if you count someone like Jordan Paskorz as a future possibility), but all three seem to be 3-technique guys. Black is one of the smaller, at just 250ish pounds, right around the same size as Terry Talbott. Michigan currently has good talent starting, with limited depth behind.
The plan is probably to have all three guys redshirt, with Ash, the biggest of the three, aiming to bulk up enough to become a true nose tackle. Michigan's starters at DT are good, but there is limited depth, so these guys could get a little bit of playing time as redshirt freshmen, and move into key backup roles as sophomores.
Black seems to have some pretty high potential, and as a possible multi-position guy (he could play RVB's DE/DT spot or even Brandon Graham's DE position), he's tough to predict too specifically for the future.
[Editor's Note: I think maybe we might be thinking about this all wrong by attempting to file the DEs and DTs in different piles. RVB and Graham both played inside and out during their careers at Michigan and the sort of body types M is looking for at the three-tech and strongside defensive end are similar enough that I'm looking at the big glob of defensive linemen like so:
NT: none
Quick: everyone apparently but Paskorz, Rogers, and possibly Ryan or Kinard most prominently.
SDE or DT: Ash, Talbott, Wilkins, Black
Once Michigan gets these guys in for a year or two they'll have a better idea of who fits in what spot and if any of them are NT material. They probably won't be and Michigan will bring in a couple different mounds of humanity next year.]
The final numbers are all very muddled. Black's spot could be the last one in the class, or there could be as many as two spots left depending on the academic status of a couple kids and if a couple players are willing to grayshirt.
Any remaining spots are probably being reserved for safeties (Sean Parker, Demar Dorsey, Rashad Knight) unless a surprise blue-chip falls into Michigan's lap.

Sloan Financial Group of Durham, N.C. has filed a lawsuit against a former employee charging him with breach of contract, committing fraud and conspiracy, and embezzling funds while he managed The New Africa Opportunity Fund, a $120 million private equity fund that was introduced in 1997.
The suit was filed Feb. 26 in the County of Durham State Superior Court and named as defendants Justin Beckett, former executive vice president of Sloan, as well as Beckett's wife Dorika Mamboleo and several other key employees.
The lawsuit alleges that Beckett, who was the CEO of New Africa Advisers, one of Sloan's wholly-owned subsidiaries created in 1993, conceived of and received government approval to form the New Africa Opportunity Fund. Beckett also was president and CEO of New Africa Management, a separate unit set up specifically to manage the fund, the suit said.
The private equity fund initially amassed $40 million from among several limited partners including Citicorp of New York, SunAmerica of Los Angeles, and Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance Company of Milwaukee, the suit said.
In the course of managing the private fund, Beckett and his associates abused their positions by making secret deals with or extorting money from the small, often start-up African companies the fund invested in, the suit said. They lavishly spent the fund's management fees on office furnishings and excessive salaries and bonuses and even created a secret company based in Mauritius which took over the day-to-day operation of one company in the portfolio, the suit said.
When Sloan discovered the misdeeds last year, the limited partners were notified and a replacement management team was put in charge of the equity fund, the suit said. Beckett was forced to resign and his business associates were terminated, the suit said.
Sloan alleges that the illegal acts by Beckett and his employees resulted in New Africa Advisers suffering financial losses in excess of $1.5 million, and a tarnished reputation which resulted in the firm's loss of a commitment to manage a second private African equity fund which would have brought the company $7 million in future management fees.
Sloan, which was founded in 1986 by Maceo Sloan, along with its two investment management company subsidiaries, also sub-advise mutual funds. None of the fund companies for whom it is a sub-adviser are implicated in the suit.
Calvert-Sloan Advisers, a 50/50 partnership between Sloan Holdings, a Sloan affiliate, and Calvert Group of Bethesda, Md., was the investment adviser to the $4.1 million Calvert New Africa Fund. The fund, created in April 1995, was the first to invest in countries across Africa. New Africa Advisers, the wholly-owned subsidiary of Sloan Financial, was one of two sub-advisers of the Calvert fund.
But the fund may soon cease to exist. The Calvert New Africa Fund is likely to
be merged into another fund if shareholders give their approval later this month. In December, the Calvert fund's board voted to merge the fund into a newly-registered fund, the Calvert South Africa Fund, which will have a narrower investment mandate but still be invested according to Calvert's usual socially-responsible screens.
Calvert will be the adviser to the new Calvert South Africa Fund. The new fund will be sub-advised by Reinvest South Africa of Philadelphia as well as by African Harvest Asset Manager Ltd. of Newlands, South Africa.
NCM Capital Management, another of Sloan's investment management subsidiaries, sub-advises the $1.2 billion Dreyfus Premier Third Century Fund and the $1 billion Dreyfus Socially Responsible Growth Fund, according to Patrice Kozlowski, a Dreyfus spokesperson.

MLB Team Report - New York Yankees - INSIDE PITCH
Joe Girardi wouldn't call it a shakeup, but it only took the Yankees' manager three games to start tinkering with an injury-ravaged lineup.
MLB Team Report - New York Yankees - INSIDE PITCH
Joe Girardi wouldn't call it a shakeup, but it only took the Yankees' manager three games to start tinkering with an injury-ravaged lineup.
Girardi moved slumping star Robinson Cano into the No. 2 spot in the batting order for Thursday's 4-2 win over Boston. He remained there Friday when the Yankees fell 8-3 to Detroit.
"It is just to try and break up some of the left-handers that we have," Girardi said. "We have decided to take a look at this. I thought about doing it (Wednesday). I thought I'll go with it to see how it looks. It is just to try to not make it so easy on the other team."
When asked if the moves were designed to "shake things up" to spark his team following two listless losses to open the season, Girardi added: "I think it is way too early to do that. It is two games. We scored four runs (Wednesday). We had some opportunities the first day. I just don't like having three lefties in a row. ... But I don't think anyone wants (a losing streak) to go too far."
Still, Girardi has admitted the need "to get creative" with a lineup missing injured stars Mark Teixeira (wrist), Derek Jeter (ankle), Curtis Granderson (forearm) and Alex Rodriguez (hip). Nick Swisher, Russell Martin, Raul Ibanez, Eric Chavez and Andruw Jones also are gone from a lineup that blasted a league-leading 245 home runs last season.
And the injury list grew on Friday when shortstop Eduardo Nunez, filling in for Jeter, was hit in the right biceps by a fastball. X-rays were negative and the shortstop is being considered day-to-day.
New designated hitter Travis Hafner and left fielder Vernon Wells each blasted his first home run as a Yankee in Wednesday's 7-4 loss to the Red Sox. And Lyle Overbay, who is filling in for Teixeira at first base, added a key two-run single in Thursday's victory.
"(Hafner) is a guy who has been there before," Girardi said. "He is a guy who is used to hitting in the middle of the order. His swings have been good. I thought his swings were good (Wednesday) and his swings were good at the end of spring training.
"And (Wells) is swinging the bat well. In left field, he looks comfortable. He looks like he's relishing his time here."
THE GAME: Bullpen blows it
The Yankees grabbed a 3-2 lead in the top of the fifth Friday on a Kevin Youkilis two-run homer but starter Ivan Nova and the bullpen failed to hold it, as New York fell to Detroit 8-3 at Comerica Park.
The Yankees suffered a potentially damaging loss in the fourth when Nunez, who has been filling in for Jeter, was hit in the right arm by a Doug Fister pitch and suffered a bruised biceps.
Nunez, his face contorted in agony, went down on the ground and stayed there for more than a minute while being examined. He left the game hunched over, his right arm hanging down, and was replaced on the bases by Jayson Nix, who stayed in the game to play short.
"It's a day-to-day thing," Girardi said. "My thought is he won't play Saturday. He was hit in the (right) biceps.
"I don't think we've lost Nunez for a while. It's just a bruise."
Detroit scored in each of the first two innings but the Yankees came back to lead 3-2. Prince Fielder then won a lefty-against-lefty matchup against Boone Logan when he clubbed a three-run homer on the second pitch he saw in the bottom of the fifth and added a two-run shot his next time up in the seventh off Shawn Kelley.
MLB Team Report - New York Yankees - NOTES, QUOTES
STREAK: Lost one.
NEXT: Yankees (RHP David Phelps 0-0, 6.75) at Tigers (RHP Max Scherzer 0-0, 0.00)
--RHP David Phelps is making his first start but second appearance of the season. Phelps allowed an earned run on a hit in 1 1/3 innings of relief in New York's season opener. He has never started against the Tigers but has appeared in four games against Detroit with an 0-1 record and a 1.80 ERA in five innings.
--SS Eduardo Nunez is "day-to-day" according to New York manager Joe Girardi but "my thought is he won't play Saturday." Nunez was hit in the right biceps by a RHP Doug Fister pitch in the fourth inning Friday. He crumpled to the ground in agony and was led from the field hunched over, his right arm hanging loosely. It was determined to be a bruise.
--SS Jayson Nix replaced SS Eduardo Nunez as a pinch runner in the fourth inning Friday after the placeholder for SS Derek Jeter was hit in the right biceps by a pitch and had to be helped from the field. Nix remained in the game to play short and was expected to start Saturday, perhaps Sunday as well while Nunez recuperates.

Blacked.com has a simple premise: beautiful little things taking big black dicks on camera. They're equally opportunity, too, because in addition to the expected gaggle of blonde haired blue eyed white girls being ravaged, we also see exotic beauties getting their pussies stretched. The tour page promises exclusive, award winning content, and judging by the teaser imagery, I don't doubt those claims one bit. But the ultimate test would be giving the membership area a good look. And that's just what I intend to do.

The membership area is very clean, well organized, and surprisingly white. I must say, though, that choosing such a color scheme was a smart move, as it really makes the gigantic black cocks in those thumbnails really pop out at you. In any event, the straight forward design combined with some powerful browse-tools makes for a site that's very easy to browse.
Speaking of which, I really found the whole niche categories part quite useful. There's currently 14 categories, ranging from ones as tame as lingerie and blonde hair to more wild ones, e.g. squirting and cream-pies. I must say, if anything is to be learned from these categories, it's that we'll see lots of blondes, lots of deep-throating, and enough facials to cover, well, just about every damn episode in their archive.
Before I delved too deeply into the action, however, I thought it best to checkout the talent. Their model index currently houses 74 hotties who range wildly in age, ethnicity, and experience. Though I do have to admit that I noticed quite a few big name porn stars on the list, so don't go expecting amateurs. Besides, you'd have to be a sadist to want to see amateurs paired up with the likes of Flash Brown and Michael Williams. No, you need some experience to survive the sort of life-changing deep-dickings those two can deliver, and so far as I can tell, none of these babes are lacking.
Besides, I'm not sure run-of-the-mill amateur would be up to the task of performing dialogue and staying in character while taking massive black dicks up the ass, pussy, and mouth. Particularly the latter. Yes, that's right. These scenes actually feature plots and dialogue.
A recent episode showed a very sexy Zoe Wood locking herself out of her apartment, calling her useless boyfriend for help, but ultimately being saved by her big dicked black neighbor, Flash Brown. In another recent episode Odette Delacroix sucks off her well hung black boss, played by Michael Williams, in an attempt to infuriate and emasculate her pathetic boyfriend who, incidentally, already was jealous of Mike's cock. Seeing a pattern here? Yep. This place is cuck heaven. And why not? Makes sense.
Of course, Blacked.com has devised other ways of pairing up cute little white girls with well hung, athletically built black men sometimes even multiple girls. But whether they're currently in a relationship or not, it turns out the same way: extremely fucking messy. I honestly can't remember the last time I saw so many cream-pies and facials in such a short duration of time. I was also quite impressed with how the male performers were really willing to give these gals a pounding. It, at times, looked quite painful. Very hot.
I should also meniton that most of these videos run around a half hour in length, so you're definitely getting your money's worth. On that note, each episode is available to be streamed or downloaded in 6 different formats, ranging from 1080p HD MPEG-4s to 480p SD and 270p mobile files. Admittedly, some of the higher quality files can be quite hefty, but since download speeds here averaging just under 3 megs-per-second, I suppose that won't be much of an issue.
Also, this might sound trivial, but I really love the fact that they've included all the basics with each episode. In addition to labeling the video formats, they've included a cast list, well written synopsis, and even a trailer.
And perhaps just as, if not more, useful in aiding decide what video to masturbate to is that the comment section. Just about every scene I checked was loaded with member feedback. Much of it being recent. And that goes for the older scenes, too. Impressive.
I should also mention that each scene is accompanied by a gallery of still shots. Unlike the videos, you only get the one resolution(1,333 x 2,000 pixels), but it's at least it's a big one. And since these stills were grabbed from the videos, which are superbly lit and shot, they end up looking better than most photos out there.
Honestly, this site's only real issue is that it's currently a tad low on content. As I write this there's only 309 scenes and galleries on the site. In their defense, though, they've only been on the scene a little under a year, and if they stick to their current update schedule, that won't be an issue for long. Just think of it as the price of getting access to the something hot and new. Well, that and the price of admission . . . .
If your idea of a good time is watching cute little white girls having their pussies wrecked by absurdly well hung black studs, then I can't recommend Blacked.com to you enough. It's definitely one of the most promising up-and-comers on the interracial scene in the past 5 years, easily. And if they keep updating at their current pace and, hopefully, a consistent level of quality perhaps one of the best interracial sites, period? Only time will tell. But until then, it's still a good bargain. Particularly for you aficionados of interracial pornography.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. - North Alabama should begin thawing out after a slippery, icy morning.
More than 13,000 homes and businesses were without power early today, and wrecks slowed traffic on highways around Birmingham. An 18-wheeler flipped on to its side on Interstate 59.
Roads were slick across a wide area, and many school systems and government offices closed for a third straight day. Conditions were worst in northeast Alabama, where more than 6 inches of snow fell overnight.
But temperatures are supposed to warm to 40 degrees and higher, and forecasters say sunnier skies should help melt away the frozen precipitation.
Temperatures will dip to the freezing mark again late today, but high temperatures are predicted near 60 degrees on Friday.
The weather service lifted all winter weather watches and warnings for Alabama.

Dating advice for women in their 20s Free sex cams no membership required
Ladies, I'm going to clue you into something: I don't know who you are. Are you going to talk about how you can bench press more than him? Worst of all, the thing that infuriates me more than anything is the women with zero social skills.When you say, "say something creative," or "say something that will make me laugh," we have no idea how to do that. How about, "You better have DD boobs if you want a shot with me? For as much as I've read about how vain guys are and how men hold women to impossible beauty standards, this stipulation in a lot of girls' profiles is just that: vain, shallow and superficial. Now, at this point, maybe you're thinking, You could very well be right.I just swiped right on you because I thought you were attractive. What happens if you meet a really great guy, and he is genuinely your type, but he just doesn't meet your height requirement? He deserves to be turned down because he is shorter than you want. At that point, feel free to tell me and other guys, "Hey, I'm not interested." I've gotten to the point where I'll be messaging back and forth with a girl 10 to 15 times.20-something guys don't understand the concept of a top sheet.
Yet, that 26-year-old with the tight abs still thinks you're hot. So rather than mourn the fact that you're still unattached at 35, recognize what a beautiful opportunity this is to get the best of both worlds. 30-somethings get really excited about their new Tempur-Pedic pillows. Of course, there's a huge difference between dating people in their 20s vs. their 30s, and men aren't the only ones guilty of tangling with younger mates for recreational reasons. 30-somethings are too tired for happy hour on Fridays. 30-something guys will make you feel better about your own body. 30-somethings will make your bed before they leave. 30-somethings order wine with dinner without looking at the menu. Based on my own experience and on polls of my 30-something single friends, I've pieced together an in-depth analysis of the pros and cons of 20-somethings and 30-somethings. 20-somethings have roommates and want to go back to your place. 20-somethings might have some leftover pizza and ranch dressing in the fridge. 20-somethings want to get to Mc Donald's before they stop serving breakfast.
Search for dating advice for women in their 20s:
30-somethings have an extra (unopened) toothbrush you can use. 20-something guys want to stop for burritos on the way home from the bar.

text: The Mason Community Center features a brand new addition and renovation, designed by MSA and GBBN Architects. The City of Mason hired MSA to provide a master plan and design for an interior, environmental graphics package. Taking inspiration from Mason's new branded identity, MSA's design concept encompasses imagery focusing on fitness and nature, as well as color gradations. It was important to clearly define the new pedestrian traffic flow. The new primary corridor, dubbed Main Street, now features a 3-dimensional sculpture inspired by the Mason "M" logo, reminiscent of a blue-green undulating ribbon. This sculpture acts as an initial navigational tool and leads directly into a vinyl window graphic piece that serves both as a subliminal directional and a privacy feature. At the end of Main Street, a smaller, secondary ribbon sculpture identifies the member check-in desk. In addition, decorative privacy films are located at the therapy pool. Vinyl logos, graphics for the medical office partner, and all regulatory ADA and wayfinding signs are featured in the facility. The master plan calls for over-sized banners in two locations and a decorative panelized graphic, which were later removed from the package due to budget changes.

WASHINGTON (AP) - August 9, 2013 --The Postal Service says it lost $740 million over the last three months and that without help from Congress its financial woes will only worsen.
The report for the financial quarter ending June 30 comes as Congress considers proposals to fix the agency's finances. The agency lost $16 billion last year and is trying to restructuring its retail, delivery and mail-processing operations.
The service wants to end most Saturday and door-to-door mail delivery. It also is seeking to reduce its congressionally mandated $5.6 billion annual payment for future retiree health benefits. The agency says ending Saturday mail delivery would save $2 billion each year.
The Postal Service is an independent agency and gets no tax dollars for its day-to-day operations. It is, however, subject to congressional control.

For most of you, it's about that time of the year again. It's about the time that you have completely abandoned all those New Year's resolutions you felt so strongly about a few weeks ago. If this is the case, two of the main reasons the resolutions didn't work out for you are: 1) You forget to define some sort of specific behavior that supports the resolution and/or, 2) You didn't hang in there and repeat the specific behavior related to the new belief long enough.

Impresario -- The Life and Times of Ed Sullivan
By James Maguire
by Richard Sheppard
Mention Ed Sullivan in 2006 to anyone under 30, and they may, more likely may not, recall his two most renowned moments, the breakout Elvis Presley appearances or the first Beatles appearance on U.S. soil. Both were iconic events on the timeline of 20th century American culture. Few under a certain age will remember, however, that Sullivan's CBS show spanned twenty-three years, from 1948 until 1971, during which time, the author argues fairly convincingly, Sullivan served as America's defacto "Cultural Minister." Sullivan himself, who claimed his initial fame as a Broadway reporter, lacked any definable entertainment charisma. However, his experience covering Broadway during the tail end of Vaudeville, along with a sideline career of presenting live stage "variety" shows, honed Sullivan's keen knack for reading an audience. And that skill of knowing just what act might fit just where came in mighty handy at the start of the television era.
Sullivan, who had failed several times to build a radio audience, was determined to succeed in TV. He saw the new medium as his ticket to "being
famous", as opposed to being notable for "covering the famous" as a reporter. And though he had competition from some of the other early TV "greats" such as Milton Berle and Jack Paar, Sullivan's CBS show grabbed ratings good enough to establish itself during its Sunday evening timeslot. Once entrenched, Sullivan had a run few shows or TV personalities have enjoyed during or since. He persevered through the NBC "Colgate-Palmolive Comedy Hour" competition, and a few years when "Westerns" were TV kings. All the while, convinced his success depended entirely on his own hard-earned show-biz instincts, he maintained absolute authority over his show's guests, how much they were paid, and the precise sequence and content of their performance. Thus on every Sunday evening, his show was a smorgasbord for a still demographically-broad American audience.
But huge demographic and societal changes were coming for America, and Sullivan. Sullivan's memorable Presley and Beatles shows presaged the coming of age of America's baby-boomers and the vast cultural changes that were on the Sixties horizons. The author makes a credible case that Sullivan was among the prime promoters of Rock-and-Roll, but, because these acts were often interspersed with some of Sullivan's
growing-old standbys, his contribution to rock's ascendance was overlooked as a new generation of viewers attempted to sort out Sullivan's show.
The balance of old acts and new-era entertainment such as rock forced Sullivan into a balancing act he managed to maintain, probably, longer than viewing tastes may have permitted. Sullivan maintained his proven variety-show and talent-spotting instincts, he just couldn't hold an audience of post-war adults and their booming progeny. And so, after twenty-three years, the Ed Sullivan show signed off in 1971.
Interestingly, the variety show was a stubborn fixture on TV as new aspirants (several who cut their teeth on Sullivan) tried to update the format: Carol Burnett, Flip Wilson, Sonny and Cher, and a few others. Eventually, adult audiences moved to later in the evening and gave rise to the likes of Jack Parr, and Johnny Carson, down through their contemporaries today. This reviewer, who just vaguely recalls the end of the Sullivan era, hardly sees any positive evolution with today's "late evening" hosts, who mock current affairs with bombast and glee, and turn off vast swaths of their audience in the process. While faltering near the end, Sullivan never took his audience for granted, or treated it with the all-too-smarmy condescension of today's hosts.

UASP has a lot of promise, bringing SCSI performance and features to the ever-expanding world of USB storage devices. But support has been haphazard, especially for Mac OS X and Linux, and this limits its impact. It would be nice if storage vendors could work with operating system developers to better support this storage protocol.
USB 3.0 For Mac Is Here!
My experience using USB 3.0 on a Mac has been wonderful. It's so well-integrated you might not notice it except for the performance. At over 200 MB/s, it blows FireWire out of the water and is even faster than nearly any device you're likely to throw at it. CalDigit sent me their Mac OS X-compatible USB 3.0 PCI Express card for evaluation, and I'm pleased as punch with the card.
Will Apple Call Light Peak "Thunderbolt"?
Intel has been incredibly tight-lipped about Light Peak. Although I've been hounding my contacts inside the company for months, no one has spilled the beans about anything. All I know about Light Peak I learned on the Internet, as they say. Now comes another bombshell: Apple will introduce Light Peak-equipped MacBook Pros tomorrow (February 24) with "Thunderbolt", a high-speed I/O port!
Iomega USB 3.0 SSD: Hands-On Review
After testing the Iomega USB 3.0 SSD extensively both in terms of benchmarks and real-world usability, I'm sold on it. the only outstanding question is the high price of the unit: The 64 GB drive starts at an attainable $190, but the big 256 GB drive is downright expensive at $620 (street price). It's hard to knock the drive's performance, component choices, or build quality, but is it worth more than a budget laptop?

Just how fast is 10 gigabits per second anyway? To help out, I've prepared another napkin-tastic infographic!
ioSafe SoloPRO Review: Is It The Safest Place For Your Data?
It's hard to stand out in the world of external storage devices, and doubly-hard to compete with the hard disk drive makers themselves. This hasn't stopped folks like Iomega, Verbatim, and LaCie from trying to impress customers with flashy cases, software bundles, and clever functionality. But clever new twist on the external hard drive concept just rolled into the Pack Rat lair: The ioSafe SoloPRO is fireproof and waterproof. Cool!
How Fast Is It? A Storage Infographic
How fast is a hard disk drive? How about the various flavors of SATA and Fibre Channel? Check out this handy Pack Rat infographic to answer the question, "how fast is it?"
Will OS X 10.7 "Lion" Bring USB 3.0 To The Mac?
Apple is a funny company, happy to go their own way even as the rest of the industry piles on to the latest trend. Such is the case with storage, with Apple ditching floppy drives, optical drives, and even hard disks. On the expansion side, Apple was an early and aggressive proponent of USB but stubbornly ignored eSATA. Now that PC makers are turning to USB 3.0, many are wondering when Apple will follow suit. My sources tell me that "Super Speed" USB 3.0 is indeed coming to the Mac, and very soon!
ExpressCard: A Sure Thing That Failed
PCMCIA and CardBus slots were universal and popular a decade ago, but the advent of PCI Express meant reengineering the old standby. The result was ExpressCard, a never-popular compromise that mixes PCI Express and USB into a confusing and little-used mashup. With few modern laptops including an ExpressCard slot and fewer users, a fair question to ask is "where did it all go wrong?"
Lemons Into Lemonade: Seagate Repackages SATA As GoFlex
The external hard disk drive market is incredibly hot right now, but it's also ultra-competitive. The latest trend is dockable multi-function drives that are friendlier to use and offer advanced features like video playback. Most docks rely on USB 2.0, but Seagate just dropped a bomb on the industry with a simple twist: They moved the intelligence outside the case, repackaging the standard internal SATA connector as GoFlex, an external link to a variety of docks and adapters.

Manga Review of Hikaru No Go Volume 10: "Lifeline". Story by Yumi Hotta. Art by Takeshi Obata (Death Note). Supervised by Yukari Umezawa (5 Dan). Translated and adapted by Andy Nakatani. Originally published in Japan by Shueisha. Published in US by Viz under their Shonen Jump imprint, $7.95, Rated A for All Ages.
Hikaru just barely managed to survive the prelims of the pro test, not because he lacked the skill but because he lacked experience playing against adults. His playing has been pretty insular in terms of variety. He had only really been playing against the formal and quite dry styles of his Go study group. So when he went up against a maverick like Tsubaki he became quite rattled and let what were simply eccentric mannerisms ruin his concentration. But he's gained a ton of confidence after Waya and Isumi took him around to different Go salons last volume. Meanwhile, Akira Toya, still feeling the fear of being beat by Shindo at the beginning of this series, wants to find out just how far his rival has progressed. To do this he wants to set up a teaching match with Ochi. What he wants to do is teach Ochi to use his own style of play so when Ochi plays against Shindo, Toya will be able to tell how his own strategies would work. Unfortunately, Ochi doesn't want to be Toya's lab rat and refuses to accept his help. While he helped Shindo in volume 9, Isumi is currently the one that is suffering from a crisis of confidence and begins to lose games after being spooked by Shindo's newfound skill.
I'm still amazed after reading 10 volumes of this series that I still have interest in a book that is simply about playing Go! I mean, would I feel the same if someone wrote a manga about Monopoly? Weirdly enough, if the right Japanese artist and writer were doing it, I would probably give it at least a chance. I don't think a comic like Hikaru No Go could be done by an American comic book dude or dudette. I think the very foreignness of the concept is what attracts me to Hikaru No Go. The very oddity that a game could be taken so deadly serious that people become professional Go players. But really, I guess it's no different than people becoming professional baseball players or some other sport which is just a child's game really. The art by Death Note's Takeshi Obata is spot on as usual and he manages to convey a Rocky-like physicality and dramatic flourish to a game that is essentially an intellectual cat and mouse endeavour. Sorta like Death Note. I question sometimes whether I will get sick of this title. Then I find myself answering with a definite no. At least as long as Shindo and his friends don't develop superpowers and start swordfighting with demons.

Manga review of Tetragrammaton Labyrinth Volume 3 by Ei Itou. Translated by Kenji Komiya. Adapted by Shannon Fay. Originally published in Japan by Wani Books. Published in US by Seven Seas under their Strawberry yuri imprint, $11.99, Rated Older Teen 16+.
As Meg and Ann continue their mission to Germany by train, we flashback many years ago when Meg and Ann first met in Nepal. At that time Meg was just a child and traveled with her father, a missionary preacher set on seeking out unbelievers to convert them to Christianity. His wanderings had taken him to Katmandu in Nepal where Ann is being worshipped as the earthly incarnation of a local goddess. Unknown to him, some of the natives had begun to grow resentful of his presence and felt threatened by his new religion. Some of the angriest decided to take matters into their own hands and deliberately sabotaged a tall wooden pillar so that it fell and critically wounded Meg. When he learned what really happened, he snapped, completely lost his faith in God, and sought out a darker power to save his daughter and take revenge. Coming back to the present, Meg and Ann are attacked on the train by Prelati, the high ranking demon that showed up last volume, and this time he isn't alone. Thankfully, neither are Meg and Ann as some old acquaintances show up to give them aid and new weapons.
First up, this manga should definitely be rated Mature 18+ because it has some pretty graphic violence. There are scenes of dismemberment and even bodies torn in half with their guts hanging out. Even though the title is marketed by Seven Seas as yuri, it has practically no girl on girl entanglements or romance. So if you're into that sort of thing exclusively, you should probably skip this book. The relationship between Meg and Ann is one of friendship. Very intense friendship, but not romantic. Both girls need each other not because they lust for each other, but because they need companionship. In the last volume, Meg was complaining that there were no "normal" people in the organization that they work for and Ann had to put her in check by replying that Meg herself was not normal. The true extent of that statement is fully revealed in this third installment. The fact is that the two girls cling to each other because each is a bulwark against solitude and loneliness. Tetragrammaton Labyrinth's style is more like that of Bleach or Chrono Crusade without as much humor and a better feel for horror. In fact, the author acknowledges his debt to Crusade and even recounts a conversation he had with the creator of that series, Daisuke Moriyama, and got his ok that his own work wasn't a ripoff. Moriyama even contributes a drawing of Ann for this volume. While I enjoyed the first half of Volume 3, the second half has me worried. When two characters from previous volumes show up to help Ann and Meg, it almost plays out like an American superhero comic, and the work suffers for it because it loses its hardwon sense of creepiness. Hopefully, volume 4 will get the series back on track.

Podcast Episode 125: Manga Review of Sola Volume 1. Art by Chaco Abeno. Story by Naoki Hisaya. Character Designs by Naru Nanao. Translated by Azusa Hatori. Adapted by Jan Suzukawa. Originally published in Japan by Media Works. Published in US by Broccoli Books, $10.99, Rated 13+.
Yorito Moriyama, a 15-year-old orphan, doesn't have the ideal life. His parents are dead and his older sister, Aono, is hospitalized with an unknown sickness. So he pretty much has to look after himself and make sure he keeps his sister's spirits up. While his life to some onlookers might seem a bit tragic, he seems to deal with the responsibility pretty well. Things turn a little weird when he meets Matsuri Shihou, a girl who looks Yorito's age, but is really a Yaka, an immortal being. She is actually about 350 years old. Hot on her trail is a swordsman named Takeshi, who wants to kill her and use her blood.

Manga Review of GTO: Great Teacher Onizuka Volume 8 by Tohru Fujisawa. Translated and adapted by Dan Papia. Originally published in Japan by Kodansha. Published in US by Tokyopop, $9.99, Rated Older Teen 16+.
Tohru Fujisawa starts Volume 8 of GTO out pretty cleverly by doing a whole chapter from Onizuka's first person point of view. In fact, we never even hear him talk. All the dialogue comes from Saejima, one of his old motorcycle gang buddies that holds an even more surprising job than GTO. Saejima is a cop! But he's not above swiping seized drugs and hiring call girls. He's probably not the best guy to go to in times of moral crisis. But Onizuka is desperate. He's being driven crazy by Urumi Kanzaki, the legendary school terrorist that GTO almost buried alive last volume. She's basically made him her slave by threatening to tell the authorities about the incident. GTO is looking for a way out of the situation or to reach Urumi and turn her to the good side. Or to at least make her value her life. You see, Urumi lost her faith in not only teachers, but in humanity and life in general back in the 6th grade. GTO and some other students, including Urumi, run into Ms. Fujimori, her 5th and 6th grade teacher. Back then, Urumi was recognized as being gifted and talented with a genius level IQ, and she never caused any trouble. Ms. Fujimori did something pretty horrible to her due to her lack of maturity and teaching experience that has caused a wound inside Urumi that continues to fester to this day. It's up to GTO to heal her soul and, as he quite eloquently states, "open up her butthole", to let out all the crap that she's been holding inside of herself.
The cool thing about GTO besides all the great art, vulgarity, and humor, is the fact that it takes up some pretty powerful issues that continue to be argued about in education and probably always will be. This volume takes up the debate about whether teachers coming out of college with no experience are equipped to deal with gifted and talented students. Fujisawa appears to give a big NO as the answer to this question. Everyone can probably recall a classmate sometime during their school career that always seemed to have the answer to a teacher's question. You might have also encountered someone that seemed SMARTER than your teacher as well. Some of them would even argue with the teacher when they found something wrong with their reasoning or a fact they found erroneous. The fact is that a lot of really smart kids are BORED in a typical public school. In the best case, these kids should be placed in more advanced classes, or if they must stay in a regular class, the teacher has to give them more intellectually challenging activities. Ms. Fujimori found herself ill equipped to serve Urumi's needs and started to resent her because she began to fear that maybe Urumi was smarter than her because she came from a second rate college. A teacher should never belittle a student because of their own insecurities. Tohru Fujisawa continues to crank out volume after volume of comedy, drama, action, outstanding art, and great theses on what is wrong with the current state of government run, assembly line education models. Excellent series.

Hey, everybody! I hope everybody is enjoying their summer. Mine ended this week. I had to go back to work on Monday, but I hope to keep on writing and recording reviews. It seems that right when I get into a groove, summer ends. But, anyway, what I wanted to say is that I'm fixing to begin making some sort of index system on the site for all the different anime and manga titles I've reviewed. The little search box on the right side that Libsyn has up pretty much sucks. So I'm gonna try to put a category over there that says something like "Index of My Reviews" or something so you can look them up by title. I won't be able to do it in a day, so I'll probably start with the most recent reviews and work backwards.
I'm computer incompetent and illiterate so I basically have to figure out things as I go. I had no idea how to write HTML code until I started working with my blog and podcasting. Libsyn is pretty cool and cheap but they only give you the barest bones on how to set up your site. I've been meaning to change up my colors on the page for a decade now. They only give you about 3 templates or so and they aren't very good. So you basically have to teach yourself how to make a webpage if you want to do anything unique, which I guess is good and bad at the same time.

Tetragrammaton Labyrinth Volume 2 by Ei Itou. Translated by Kenji Komiya. Adapted by Shannon Fay. Originally published by Wani Books in
Angela needed a new weapon after her previous scythe was broken during the intense fighting we saw in Volume 1. The scythe she wants now is held at a Church research facility under lock and key. It is a weapon so powerful that it could kill that which could not be killed, a heavenly angel! In fact, the scythe is still stuck in the fossilized remains of the angel. Many people have tried to wield it, but in the end they were all killed and their spiritual power was added to the scythe. So, every person that has died trying to get their hands on it has made it even more deadly. Not only do Meg and Angela have to deal with the ghosts that haunt it, things get a bit crazier when they remove it from the dead angel and it comes back to life...as a fallen angel, with murder on its mind. After that, the duo are called to Germany for unknown reasons and encounter Hugh Williams, a demon's servant who uses the shipping lanes between England and the mainland to offer sacrifices to his master.
The biggest surprise I got from this second volume was the fact that Angela is around 400 years old. Just looking at the two girls from a purely physical standpoint, Meg looks much older, like around 18-20, while Angela looks about 12 or so. What we find out is that it is Angela who is the big sister figure and that even though she says she only exists because Meg needs her, it is Meg who leans on her most of the time instead of the other way around. Something else that is revealed about Angela is that she has no compunctions about killing innocent people if it serves a greater good. For example, when Hugh Williams takes hostages on the boat, Angela takes out at least 3-4 of them to take away his bargaining chips. Let's just say she takes the Keanu Reeves option from his film Speed of "Shoot the Hostage" to a whole 'nother level. She seems a little inhuman in her dealings with anyone but Meg but it is that very relationship that gives her humanity. It is Angela who reigns as the star in this second volume. It closes with the promise of revealing how Angela and Meg first met in the next installment.

It's especially gratifying to watch these young women and men develop a greater understanding of what Oakland Zoo does, all the while maintaining a tremendously high level of engagement in their work," said Dr. Joel Parrott, Pres. & CEO of Oakland Zoo.
Oakland, CA (PRWEB) July 01, 2014
Oakland Zoo is proud to announce a third year of partnership with Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) and Youth UpRising (YU) to offer the PG&E Youth Employment Training Internship Program. This program provides an opportunity for high school graduates to participate in an eight-week paid internship at Oakland Zoo, working side-by-side with animal keepers, horticulturists, and administrative staff. The overall goal of the program is to expose students to opportunities in the workforce, allowing them to explore career pathways in the areas of zoology, veterinary care, land management, conservation, and business.
Young people are referred to this internship program by the East Oakland based non-profit, YU, which is one of Oakland Zoo's community partners. YU has been providing services aimed at increasing the physical and mental wellbeing, community connection, educational attainment, and career achievement to "hard to reach" youth for over fifteen years. "In today's labor market, young adults looking for work to support themselves and their families find themselves competing with an older, more experienced labor force for jobs typically occupied by youth," said Olis Simmons, Executive Director of YU. "Summer and after school jobs have become increasingly hard to access for all Oakland youth. Oakland Zoo has been an exemplary partner by hosting youth in worksites that offer comprehensive learning pathways in Land Management, Business and Health and Science."
Daily intern activities include: animal diet preparation, habitat maintenance, guest interaction, learning about animal behaviors and conservation, customer service, office administration, garden and grounds maintenance, and landscape design. The program aims to help students receive invaluable work readiness skills focusing on communication techniques, time management, accountability, team work, and understanding the importance of workplace protocols. "It's especially gratifying to watch these young women and men develop a greater understanding of what Oakland Zoo does, all the while maintaining a tremendously high level of engagement in their work," said Dr. Joel Parrott, President & CEO of Oakland Zoo. "I'm confident these young people will carry forward the knowledge they acquire, as well as positive momentum, into their academic pursuits and beyond. I truly believe that our interns will continue to be ambassadors for conservation and education efforts and, in doing so, open the minds of those they meet." Upon completion of the program, interns entering into college are provided $500 scholarships to cover eligible college-level education expenses. Interns interested in employment at the Zoo also have the opportunity to be considered for hire on appropriate part-time or full-time positions.
PG&E has generously provided the funding for this program since its inception, supporting it as part of its commitment to providing jobs for underserved youth throughout its 70,000 square mile service area.
Thanks to PG&E's support and inspired investment and YU's commitment to uplift Oakland's youth, Oakland Zoo's PG&E Youth Employment and Training program has proven to be a great success and will continue to grow and expand for years to come.
Youth UpRising (YU) was founded in 1997 with the mission to transform East Oakland into a healthy and economically robust community by developing the leadership of youth and young adults and improving the systems that impact them. Through their comprehensive services and core programming, they give East Oakland youth the opportunity to build positive relationships, develop new skills, and establish goals and future plans that will put them on a trajectory to success and self-sufficiency in adulthood. For more information, visit youthuprising.org.
The Bay Area's award-winning Oakland Zoo is home to more than 660 native and exotic animals. The Zoo offers many educational programs and kid's activities perfect for science field trips, family day trips and exciting birthday parties. Oakland Zoo is dedicated to wildlife conservation onsite and worldwide. Nestled in the Oakland Hills, in 500-acre Knowland Park, the Zoo is located at 9777 Golf Links Road, off Highway 580. The East Bay Zoological Society (Oakland Zoo) is a nonprofit 501(c)3 organization supported in part by members, contributions, the City of Oakland and the East Bay Regional Parks.

A variety of new laws affecting motorcyclists took effect with the new year, with some more significant than others. Safety, and in some cases, making life easier for those of us who ride, are common themes.
California has been the big shot taking center stage, first by finally making lane-splitting officially allowed, and now with new regulations that prohibit the use of handheld devices by drivers. But all around the country we are seeing the green light for everything from red light laws to blue light laws for 2017.
Legalizing lane-splitting might not seem, at face value, to be a law with safety for motorcyclists at the forefront. For some riders in states where it is very much illegal, lane-splitting is one of those I'm-so-bad-catch-me-if-you-can activities. In California, however, it has never been illegal. The mission with formalizing laws in regards to this commonly accepted practice is to make it safer for all motorists.
Tennessee is considering a law to allow motorcyclists to use highway shoulders to exit the roadway when traffic is moving at 25 mph or less. The posted speed limit must be 50 mph or more for this to be acceptable. Not quite as cool as legal lane-splitting, but still progress. I will consider this a win for air-cooled bikes.
"Dead red" laws, dealing with traffic signals that don't detect motorcycles, continue to be addressed nationwide. Pennsylvania and New Jersey, since last summer, have joined the list of states that allow motorcyclists to proceed through intersections in the event of a malfunctioning red light sensor. About half of U.S. states have enacted some variation of this law and I anticipate more will follow suit this year.
Illinois started off the new year with a newly legalized "blue light" bill for motorcyclists. In many states, the color blue is still reserved for law enforcement, but now the ol' blue dots in the center of red brake lights are back in action. Some riders like them just for the looks, but Josh Witkowski, public communications officer for the Lincoln Land Chapter of ABATE Illinois, said there is a safety issue, too.
"What this does is it creates a contrast," Witkowski told the Rockford Advocate. "When that motorcyclist hits their brake, you see a contrasting light almost instantly. It's good for visibility out there on the road, which increases safety and reduces the risk of accidents."
Let us not neglect Illinois' other new for 2017 law, which allows Route 66 specialty license plates for motorcycles. Funds raised will go toward preserving the iconic roadway.
Meanwhile, Europe is on to bigger endeavors of planetary preservation by means of cutting carbon emissions with their strictest legislation yet: Euro 4 emissions standards. Some existing models have already been dropped because making them comply with the tougher standards would be either impractical or too expensive. Of course the Europeans have long been the leaders in writing the book on safety laws. In recent years, France had a law that required you to have two breathalyzers with you (that fines for non-compliance were eventually dropped), and there's still a law requiring you to wear a helmet with reflective stickers on the front, rear and both sides.
At least no legislature in these United States required you to mummy-wrap your helmet in high-viz tape for 2017.
