This incident sound very similar to a fatal traffic collision on Treat Boulevard in Concord on April 7. A 17 year old kid drove aggressively and killed two bicyclists. The victims were Solaiman Nuri, 41, and daughter Hadessa Nuri, 9.
Why would anybody drive that aggressively? Some new video game, movie or TV show? Drugs or alcohol?
I hope this is not a new trend.

He was cited and released after a homicide? What kind of lawyer does he have?
Anyone know this Matthew Pumar? What is he like? Is he a student a local school? Why was he speeding down a residential street at 9:30am in the morning.
There is a mug shot of him here: Web Link

Wow.. 21 and in that kind of trouble.
Well I hope the truth comes out in court. Sounds like there were a few witnesses to this guy's driving in an unsafe manner in that area.
Let's not blame video games.. it's been documented for generations now that young people drive way too fast. That's not something we get to blame on the current generation.
It's inexperience and lack of thinking. Very sad someone had to die to teach this guy a lesson.

Did they run drug and alcohol tests at the scene that day? Was distracted driving (cell phone, food or whatever) a factor? It is so wrong that someone lost their life waiting for a bus. I really hope Mr. Pumar serves jail time AND is never allowed to drive again. It would be justice for him to have to take the bus for the rest of his life.
The memorial with all the flowers and candles for Mr. Ware at that bus stop is both beautiful and extremely sad. It is touching to see how many people liked him and miss him.

Looks like Mr. Pumar possibly did a mighty fine job of scrubbing his online persona before agreeing to turn himself in to the authorities. All that seems to remain are a couple of cached Facebook likes on stuff that appears to connect to UC Berkeley, but his own FB presence is long gone. Imagine that. Sure would be interesting to see what he posted there after the incident.
Making generalizations here, but he looks like one of those spoiled 21yo precious little snowflakes, probably working somewhere in the social media space and thinking he's all that, to whom "little people" don't matter. At least he didn't get any yoga teachers fired, too.

@ OLd Saw, I like your post and was thinking the same thing. Matthew Pumar, had two and a half weeks to get his story straight, hire a attorney and delete his online presence. I see he is a graduate of UC Berkely. He didn't sit in jail for a minute. He turned himself in with his attorney and had a Bail Bondsman with him.

this person is hopeless, he deserves a felony and to be in jail, he should never be given a drivers license again ... unfortunately justice won't be served in this one as the law does not yet recognize cell phone use while driving as a DUI
this accident should never be forgotten but its just a gross misdemeanor, he'll probably change his name and be like it never happened

the guy turns himself in accompanied by his lawyer and a bailsbondsman, immediately posts bail and is released. i don't think he will do any serious time, not the time he should do. when you drive like he was allegedly driving its no accident when someone gets hurt or killed. manslaughter is for accidents.

It's easy to project our anger onto this young man and make up stories: he was using drugs, it's the fault of video games, he's a spoiled brat, showing up with a lawyer proves guilt, etc. But it pays to maintain a little rationality here.
1. Everyone is entitled to representation by a lawyer. He wasn't arrested until there was enough evidence. Would you want to pay to keep someone in jail for two weeks only to find out the cause was brake failure?
2. Two people lost there lives that day. This young man won't be the same, jail or not. He isn't special in this. Over 50,000 Americans are killed in auto accidents every year. Who knows why he was speeding? It only takes being in a rush to get to work once to end someone's life. We don't know yet. That's why we have court cases. Vilifying him on the internet because he "scrubbed his Facebook profile" is pointless. How do you know he had much of a profile if he deleted it so effectively?
3. Should he be found guilty, I would much rather he spend his time making restitution to the surviving family than rot behind bars at society's expense. Make him the poster boy for the importance of safe driving. Send him to schools to tell his story as a warning to new drivers. We have too many people locked up who pose no danger to others already. Revoke his license and don't renew it until he can prove he's no longer a threat.
I hope the Ware family can find some peace in time. I understand the anger in the comments, but I think it hurts more than it helps.

Local Rationalism - This kid, KILLED, this man by being stupid and reckless.
I don't care what he feels. It's his fault this happened. No one else. He made his bed. Let him lie in it.
Holding hands and singing 'kumbaya' doesn't solve anything. Justice needs to be served.

Very disappointing that the penalties for extreme reckless driving are so light. That is one of the reasons that reckless drivers keep at it.
a resident of Cuernavaca
on Jul 12, 2012 at 11:51 am
The speed limit on CA Ave is 35MPH. You should be able to stop your car suddenly in about 50 meters. Instead this guy was going way over the speed limit according to witnesses and couldn't stop his car within those 50 meters and instead takes out a bus top, steel poles and a water main. And some guy above blames it maybe on poor brakes? How about reckless acceleration.
Anyway, I blame Bill Clinton. Do a wrong, deny, deny, deny, diminish, diminish, diminish, change the meaning of words, discuss the meaning of the word "is", get a good lawyer, reform you image superficially, and walk free.
That is what will happen to this guy. Mark my words.

@ Edwin don't forget the two large trees his car hit and knocked over with all the large roots being pulled up from the ground. Finally the third tree approx 220 ft from the initial hit of the victim stopped him disabling his car.

To bad the mermorial service wasn't recorded, so this reckless Matthew would be able to watch about the life that he took! all that Bill was, all that Bill did, all the lives he touched and all the lives Bill will touch no more:( the pain that this young man Matthew has caused to so many. Matthew was a careless driver, The news said he was going 90 mies an hour REALLY Matthew! The reason he didn't run was because there was so many witnesses to keep him there. Anger you say? it's not anger it's that this punk took a awesome life and for what? Did you hear the story on how Bill road the bus on Thanks Giving for four hours to bring someone a Turkey? I bet Matthew has never even considerd doing something so selfless like that! the reason I can say this is because someone who cares about people like Bill did doesn't drive 90 miles an hour.

I guess the point is that if the President of the United States can't even admit he committed a wrong, then why should/would any one else! Just lawyer up, reform your image (and maybe seek rehab or religious councilling), and you're on your way and soon as the public has been duped into thinking it was just a minor lapse of judgement.
This guy is probably already back on the road.

It sure is good to set in judgement of an individual when any one of you could be selected for jury duty to determine this young man's guilt or innocence. What if you knew this young adult had an unblimished driving and criminal record, a college graduate and a loving son of proud parents. Yes, it is a terrible crash but how does one know that an equipment malfunction occurred or the tri-light signal was in bad operation order. Go ahead all you self-righteous hypocrite and bury this young man because we have such a perfect world in MV.

Uh... because there were many witnesses reported here and who supplied statements to the police that he was driving like a complete maniac. If that were not the case, why then was he arrested?
a resident of Old Mountain View
on Jul 13, 2012 at 10:44 am
The reality is that Matthew is your brother. He's your cousin. He's your son. He's literally just a kid that did something that started stupid and became CONSIDRABLY more very quickly.
He's not a monster though. He's just a kid.
A 21 year old kid.
A 21 year old kid with no accidents or speeding tickets on his record. Probably never even been in a fight, but he is a college graduate.
A 21 year old college graduate that was speeding. Why he was speeding, no one knows, but I don't know a single 21 year old that hasn't ever done it. I also don't know many that haven't accidentally run a red light, but this particular time, something was in the road and he swerved to avoid it.
Tragically, he hit Mr. Ware. The only thing we can be certain of is that he hit Mr. Ware at a speed that meant he probably didn't feel much pain, though obviously his family feels his loss. Everyone should grieve his loss because it happened in a way it shouldn't have. In an ACCIDENT.
It's easy to try and create a monster because an innocent man died, but we can't forget that we've all made mistakes, but not all of us have had such poor luck that someone died from our mistakes.
We shouldn't forget that this careless accident was an accident. There was no malice involved, though it seems many want to read malice into the act. It's not an issue of money vs. poverty, though people want to believe it is. It's an accident. A terrible accident that took someone's life. Why should we condemn another life because of this one tragic mistake? Shouldn't we use this as an example to teach others so it doesn't happen to them?
Ever since I heard about this accident I couldn't help but wonder if it had been me driving. Or my brother. Or my cousin. Or my son. Just a generally good kid who made a horrible mistake, looking at a future uncertain...
I also couldn't help but imagine the other side of it. If it were me at the bus stop. Or my brother. Or my cousin. Or my son. Would we have wanted this young man's life to be ended with ours?
It's a terrible tragedy. We should mourn the loss of Mr. Ware. But be wary of casting off judgment. Maybe Matthew could still be the kid that grows into the man that eventually saves your life. Or your brother's. Or your cousin's. Or your Son's...
Or would we have wanted it to be a lesson for him to teach the rest of us?

@oldsaw: This is my cousin and he didn't do any "scrubbing" of his online persona, first off. He probably shouldn't have been driving the way he was but drugs/alcohol was not an issue-he's very smart, congenial, and family oriented. Things like this happen all the time and it's a shame that the best of us make mistakes like this but time will go on and soon enough another accident will happen and every one move on to judge that individual as if they were God much like what's happening now.

Shouldn't one of your questions be:

Aren't we lucky there were no children or other people in the line of destruction?
a resident of Shoreline West
on Jul 13, 2012 at 11:01 am
It was not an ACCIDENT. It was negligence. There were plenty of witnesses, there's no doubt whatsoever about what happened. He's not some innocent kid. He's a grown man whose arrogance behind the wheel killed someone. People must be held accountable for their actions behind the wheel.
The coddling going on here reminds me of that filthy acupuncturist who killed that poor old man last year in a hit and run. She's from Saratoga, oodles of money there, and she got off with one year's suspension of her license. Don't tell me the judgement would've been the same if she'd been from East Palo Alto.
This kid needs some serious jail time, at the very least, and no driver's license, EVER.

I have never ever sped through a red light in a residential area (or any other area). Also, I have never run a red light when turning left.
Seems to me that this driver committed 4 moving violations at the same time: speeding, running a red light, making an illegal left turn, driving on the sidewalk. Each violation is a separate choice that the driver had to make. While some people may consider one violation to be a stupid youthful mistake, there is no way that any reasonable person would consider 4 seriously bad decisions to be "an accident".

How many of us speed sometimes? I'll bet the vast majority, reflecting the arbitrary nature of our traffic laws. But most of us don't need any posted limit to know it's idiotic to do 80 in town.

REALLY!!! You must not keep up with what some of the witnesses are saying that MATTHEW was a well-known speeder and had been warned about his driving a year ago, too bad he didn't harken to this warning, so Bill could still be alive and well living the life he lived as a person who help others! Forgiveness I'm all for, but defending him and trying to find excesses for him not at all! No car malfunction, or trying to avoid hitting another car, the only reason he was trying to avoid another car was because he ran a red light!!!The other car was in the right away GREEN Light. Quit trying to rationalize this, Matthew was careless, and people are suffering now because of it!

REGARDLESS of what "witnesses" (a.k.a. randomg people on blogs(a few of which have said specifically "it may not have been him but it was a car that looked like the one in the accident".)) are saying, the CALIFORNIA DMV shows no record of any traffic accidents, speeding violations, tickets, etc..
I tend to trust their information considering it is what will be admissible in court.

@"This is my cousin and he didn't do any "scrubbing" of his online persona" YES HE DID!
"first off. He probably shouldn't have been driving the way" (PROBABLY!) what are you like 2yrs old?
"he was but drugs/alcohol was not an issue-he's very smart"
More like VERY DUMB.
"congenial, and family oriented" Yeah well Bill was Family oriented too,and friends and stranger and community,but guess what your "smart cousin took that away!
"Things like this happen all the time and it's a shame that the best of us make mistakes like this but time will go on and soon enough another accident will happen and every one move on to judge that individual as if they were God much like what's happening now".
No one is judging him as if we were God we Judging him for what he did! There is a difference.
and not everyone will move on , not Bills Friends and family. Bill may have not meant anything to you but he did too many.

p.s. the "witness" referred to earlier that claims they'd seen Matthew Pumar racing around the area numerous times in the past and complained about it previously.
They also happened to have the wrong description for "his" vehicle. They indicated it was "an Audi".
Matthew Pumar was the registered driver of a Volkswagon.
If you're going to believe something at least check to see if it's TRUE before crucifying someone for it...

They are one in the same company. VW/Audi share common chassis so it's easy to confuse the two. Especially when one has just blown by you and plowed into people and things.

Well, I googled (LOL, name becomes verb, you'd better let them do what they want), and my money hunch is correct. He was born into wealth.
And he deleted his Facebook account, probably AFTER the accident. Witnesses said that after he finished killing Mr. Ware and crashed into an immovable object, he got out of the car WITH HIS CELL PHONE IN HIS HAND and said, "Did I do that?"
If he wasn't on LSD, he might as well have been.

The ware family was informed that Mr. Pumar was arrested in connection with the death of our brother.
While it is hard to verbalized how I feel as an individual or how the family feels collectively about the news, we are glad that the legal process is moving forward.
The Ware family would like to thank the MVPD for their efforts to complete their investigation in a timely and professional manner.
We would also like to take this opportunity to thank the community for their outpouring of support for our family and thank the media for their unbiased reporting and respect for our family's privacy.
There are 2 families that are living through this tragic event.
We will continue to follow the case of this individual through the judicial process and are reluctant to make further statements that could compromise that process.
Bill will be missed by all those that knew and loved him.

Our double delight
Double gold on the same night by track cyclist Anna Meares in the sprint against arch rival Victoria Pendleton, and Sally Pearson in the 100 metre hurdles, to go with her world championship gold. Both had so much pressure on them to win. The defining moment came late that night, after the competition had ended and the lights had been turned out, when Meares and Pearson crossed paths for the first time outside the athletes' village. Their embrace said it all - plus some.
The sending home of Australian men's coxed-eight rower Josh Booth for his drunken rampage after the crew placed sixth in the final at Eton Dorney Lake. Booth was hospitalised after collapsing and hitting his head in the police station after his arrest, and apologised to local shop owners whose front windows he had damaged. He was not charged.
Not one, but every member of the under-recognised Australian sailing team that went to the Games regatta at Weymouth as strong gold medal hopes in three boat classes. They left with three gold medals - Tom Slingsby in the Laser, Nathan Outteridge and Iain Jensen in the 49ers and Mathew Belcher and Malcolm Page in the 470s - and one silver, won by Olivia Price, Nina Curtis and Lucinda Whitty in the women's match racing event. The sailors boosted Australia's medal tally when more promoted and publicised sports faltered.
The failure of the Australian swimming squad - especially the much-hyped men's 4 x 100 freestyle relay team - and subsequent allegations of bullying and cliques within the team. Then there is the question of whether Leisel Jones in her fourth Games was in optimum condition and a public debate that focused more on the right of the media to raise that question based on photographs of her in a swimsuit, rather than the question itself.
The next Olympic Games are the 2014 Winter Games in Sochi, Russia. It is an event that attracts far less interest than the summer Games in Australia, but nevertheless interesting for its edge of difference. But how will they stand up against the triumph of the London Olympics?

Today's Song: Zodiac featuring Jesse Boykins III "Come"
Jeremy Rose was once the production partner of the Weeknd and, to hear him tell it, was unceremoniously dumped from that gig. That sucks because people actually care about the Weeknd, but per his new release under the Zodiac moniker, he's better off without Abel Tesfaye's warbling. I'd rather listen to this collaboration with the Brooklyn-based Jesse Boykins III than put up with the Weeknd's whining. I feel like it's all going to work out for Rose.

After 25 years, its hard to call the Telluride Jazz Festival a well-kept secret, but in that town the moniker fits.
Its also not small, although when compared to some of the other festivals in town, it often feels that way.Its part of its charm. The Telluride Society for Jazz has been staging the festival every summer since 1977, and the local music-lovers have lined up another three days of top-shelf entertainment.
Performances take place on two outdoor stages during the day, and in theaters and clubs at night. Todays lineup is like a glimpse into the future of jazz with Soulive, the Marco Benevento Trio, Sister Sparrow and the Dirty Birds, Crescent Super Band and Jababa. The night will be capped with a craft-distillery spirit tasting with Colorado-made samples of whiskey, rum, tequila and vodka.
A couple of jazzs current best Victor Wooten on bass and Roy Hargrove on trumpet will highlight Saturdays concerts. Its a solid undercard as well, with vocalist Roberta Gambarini, Denvers Convergence, the Latin sounds of Nosotros, Downbeat award winners UNC Jazz Lab Band I and the 18th installment of the Telluride Student All-star Jazz Ensemble a unique collaboration of the most talented teen musicians in the country.
Also Saturday will be the annual wine tasting in Town Park. The event is complimentary to all three-day and Saturday passholders and features a two-hour tasting with more than 20 varietals, artisan cheeses, fresh fruit and a souvenir wine tasting glass.
The Crescent City meets the San Juans on Sunday. New Orleans Day will include a full day of music, a parade and other festivities in the New Orleans tradition. To keep it authentic, bands flown in fresh for the day will include The Funky Meters, Jon Clearys Philthy Phew, The Soul Rebels and Astral Project.
Inside Town Park, the menu will reflect the sounds on stage with plenty of poboys, gumbo, mint juleps and hurricanes (the drink). At noon, Tellurides historic district might feel a little like the French Quarter with a Mardi Gras-style parade, including a brass band and second line down Main Street. To get revelers in the mood, the Wilkinson Public Library will start the day with a morning screening of Faubourg Tremé: The Untold Story of Black New Orleans.

For the Media
Clarkson University's Hopke Named Environmental Consultant to Bangladesh
[A photograph for media use is available at http://www.clarkson.edu/news/photos/hopke.jpg .]
Philip K. Hopke, Clarkson University's Bayard D. Clarkson Distinguished Professor, director of Clarkson's Institute for a Sustainable Environment and director of Clarkson's Center for Air Resources Engineering & Science (CARES), has been named a World Bank air quality consultant to the Ministry of the Environment in the People's Republic of Bangladesh.
Air pollution is a major cause for concern for Dhaka, the capital and one of the world's mega cities with a population of about 14 million in its metropolitan area, and other populous cities in Bangladesh.
Dhaka is set to become one of the world's most populated cities. The concentration of particulate matter in the air has been increasing steadily in recent years, with an annual average much higher than World Health Organization guidelines.
Pollutant levels are rising because of emissions from brick kilns, gross polluting diesel run old vehicles, re-suspended road dusts and refuse burning.
The health burden of air pollution in Bangladesh is comparable to that due to lack of access to clean water and sanitation. If the exposure to urban air pollution were reduced by 20 to 80 percent, it would save 1,200 to 3,500 lives and avoid 80 to 230 million occurrences of disease per annum equivalent to health cost savings of between US$170 and US$500 million per annum.
Hopke will work to strengthen the institutional and regulatory framework and capacity for building the air quality management in Bangladesh. Together with the local air quality management consultant, he will support implementation of the environmental component of the World Bank's Clean Air and Sustainable Environment Project.
Hopke is a member of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Air Monitoring and Methods Subcommittee of the Clean Air Scientific Advisory Committee as well as its Panel on Lead in Airborne Particulate Matter.
Hopke is the inaugural director of Clarkson's Institute for a Sustainable Environment. He has served a decade as director of CARES, which fosters research in air sampling and analysis, receptor modeling, atmospheric deposition, and the application of computational fluid dynamics to air pollution problems.
He has served at the U.S. Department of State, where he served as a Jefferson Science Fellow. He has also served on many other EPA and NRC committees.
Hopke earned a bachelor of science degree in chemistry from Trinity College and both an M.A. and Ph.D. in chemistry from Princeton University. He joined Clarkson University as the Robert A. Plane Professor of Chemistry in July 1989.
Clarkson University launches leaders into the global economy. One in six alumni already leads as a CEO, VP or equivalent senior executive of a company. Located just outside the Adirondack Park in Potsdam, N.Y., Clarkson is a nationally recognized research university for undergraduates with select graduate programs in signature areas of academic excellence directed toward the world's pressing issues.

text: # $Id$ Known Issue http://drupal.org/node/191771 'Node' panes can have two titles or have two title areas. Cause: Content that comes into a pane is already formatted, and this happens in theme('node'). theme('node') assumes it will be printing a title most of the time. However, Panels wants the titles of panes to be consistent, so it removes the title from the node to prevent your node.tpl.php from printing it. The result is often an empty h2 which has odd effects. Solution: Add an if statement to your node.tpl.php to prevent printing that h2 if $node->title is empty.

The world needs to know what's going on with Republicans blatantly trying to steal the election by suppressing certain groups who traditionally vote Democratic.
We tout our equality and fairness and most of all our Democracy to people around the world. Democracy as we knew it no longer exists in this country and the GOP, Big Money and The Supreme Court are to blame.
- Most people on the Right scream about taking their country back. It seems they want to take it back to a time when women had to use coat hangers and back alley quacks to terminate an unwanted pregnancy.
- A time where Blacks could not vote and when some counties allowed them to vote only after giving the correct answers to questions like "how many bubbles are in a bar of soap?' or "How many jellybeans in a huge jar"?
- A time when gays and immigrants and even Jews were treated with contempt and disdain.
That's what these people want to go back to but Progressives and Independents see it differently…
The Raw Story
Early voting is being stabbed to death in Ohio, and Republicans are holding the knives.
On Friday night's episode of "The Rachel Maddow Show," the MSNBC host explained that the state's last three days of early voting, traditionally a time when churches and other urban community groups mobilize voters, have been canceled by Jon Husted, Ohio's Republican Secretary of State. And that will mean longer lines in Democratic-leaning cities come election day.
President Barack Obama's campaign has sued to overturn Husted's decision, which he justified to a conservative radio host by saying, "We're not 7/11."
As if that weren't enough, the times for polls to be open during early voting has also turned into a partisan meltdown, with Republicans supporting extended hours and weekend voting in conservative-leaning areas, but closing them early and restricting them to just five days a week in more liberal communities.
"Each county's election board in Ohio's 88 counties is evenly split between Republicans and Democrats," Maddow explained. "In counties that tend to vote for the Republican candidate, like Warren and Butler counties, where John McCain won in '08 by big margins — in those counties, Republicans and Democrats on the elections boards are voting together to allow early voting on nights and weekends. So that means more voting in Republican counties.
"But in the counties that tend to go Democratic, like Cuyahoga and Franklin and Summit, where Barack Obama won by huge margins in 2008, the Republicans on those election boards are voting against early voting on nights and weekends. And guess who gets the break for the tie votes in those counties?"
None other than Jon Husted.
"He is personally intervening to make sure there are fewer early voting hours on nights and weekends in Democratic counties, while there are more early voting hours on nights and weekends in Republican counties," Maddow concluded.
This video is from MSNBC's "The Rachel Maddow Show," broadcast Friday, August 10, 2012.

Is craftpreneur even a word? I'm not really sure. But I'm going with it for the sake of this post because I think it fits. It fits the description of any crafter who works hard at turning his or her crafting pursuits into a successful business. It covers the "craft" (as in what you do) as well as the "preneur" (as in, well, entrepreneur). But let's be honest. Most of us craftpreneurs are more comfortable with the crafting side of things, as opposed to the actual business side of things. That's why we need the pros to guide us through those murky waters of sales, marketing and social media.
My Go-to Online Business Advice Pros
Tweak Your Biz
One online pro source that I turn to for advice is Tweak Your Biz. As the name implies, Tweak Your Biz deals with all aspects of business including sales, marketing, finance, management and technology. It's an online business publication as well as a community. They encourage you to share your opinions and ask questions of their contributing experts. I've found their blog posts to be pretty insightful as well as humorous. For example, one of my favorite posts is entitled, "Eat a Bowl of Dog Food, Improve Customer Service." I'll admit I was intrigued. And the post did not disappoint. I've found that Tweak Your Biz is an invaluable resource for craftpreneurs at any stage of their business.
Arts Business Institute
Another online resource that's sure to jump-start a craftpreneur's business side is Arts Business Institute. ABI keeps me up to date with timely business strategies, sales tips and marketing ideas for my handmade vintage jewelry business. Topics run the gamut from regularly featured artist profiles to how to start a wholesale production studio.
Launch Grow Joy
If you're the type who prefers to receive your business advice with more of a personal vibe to it, I highly recommend Andrea Ayers of Launch Grow Joy. She's both a savvy entrepreneur in the online business consulting industry as well as an actual craftpreneur who successfully launched her own handmade soap company from the ground up. You can find her honest hard-won business advice for craftpreneurs on her blog, Launch Grow Joy, as well as in her free instructional videos that cover topics such as growing your online sales and getting your products in stores.
Social Triggers
Now I can't mention videos without mentioning my all-time favorite business guru Derick Halpern of Social Triggers. Social Triggers encompasses his blog, podcast and web tv-show. And don't say that I didn't warn you: Derick's approach is pretty unorthodox. And that's what makes watching his videos so much fun. He shares practical, in-your-face advice on topics such as building your email list and increasing online sales. He shares his fresh perspective in such a way that you can't help but think to yourself, "Now how can I apply that to me and my business?" Which is pretty awesome when you think about it. Learn something and laugh while doing it. It's a win-win.
Time to Get Productive
I hope my little list of references at least gets you moving in the right direction with regard to your "business" side, and that it gets you started on a productive phase in your crafting business. While focusing on the business side of life may not be most craftpreneurs' idea of a good time, it can still be accomplished effectively with the help of my favorite go-to business advisers. And that leaves you with more time to devote to your creative pursuits, whatever they may be.
Is there anyone you think is great when it comes to giving business advice? Leave a comment below and let me know. I'd love to hear about it.

Yamaha RX-V661 A/V Receiver
Used to be even the most basic receiver came with two accessories: a cheap wire dipole FM antenna and a plastic-loop AM job (which most often seemed to degrade reception). You still get the antennae, even if nobody except dental-office denizens listens to much terrestrial radio anymore. But you get a lot more with your receiver today. Universal remote controls are, um, universal, and automatic speaker setup/EQ (with a supplied calibration mike) is fast becoming so. Meanwhile, extra-cost options, including satellite-radio tuners and iPod docks, are becoming increasingly common.
Yamaha's latest mid-level A/V receiver, the RX-V661, is an excellent example. Even at an inviting $550 suggested retail price (probably around $450 street), it comes with the full-system remote and the calibration mike (plus the two antennae, of course) and offers both XM Satellite Radio and iPod expandability.
The Yamaha RX-V661 A/V receiver incorporates another feature that was strictly high-end-receiver fare last week, however, or so it seems: a pair of 1080p-capable HDMI inputs and one output. Two HDMI inputs are the barest of minimums in this Blu-ray Disc/HD DVD/PS3 age - but, of course, that's why God made multi-model receiver lines, along with those little green apples. The RX-V661 also offers Yamaha's usual broad range of DSP (digital signal processing) surround options and the kind of power buyers expect from even affordable receivers: 90 watts x 7 channels.
SETUP Installing the Yamaha was the usual matter of shifting the maze of spaghetti from behind my everyday preamp/processor and power amp to the RX-V661 and then running the latter's "YPAO" (Yamaha Parametric Room Acoustic Optimizer) auto-setup routine with the supplied mini-UFO-shaped calibration mike placed at the listening position. I also jacked in the Audiovox XM radio mini-tuner, the iPod dock, and the antenna accessories that Yamaha helpfully sent along; on the open market, these will collectively set you back an additional $100 or so, along with the monthly or annual subscription fees for the satellite service. (Yamaha's YDS-10 iPod dock, priced at $99, is widely available for around $75.)
After the auto-cal whoooops at wooshes concluded, I checked the results shown by the receiver's onscreen display, using my handheld SPL meter. The Yamaha claimed that my center and left-surround speakers were connected out of phase (trust me, they weren't), and it selected a crossover of 200 Hz even though all of my speakers are quite accurate to well below 60 Hz. This kind of thing is not too unusual; any little null at the mike position can fool a room-response analyzer. Nor is Yamaha's the first system to have claimed that my left surround was misconnected (it's a few feet more distant than the right surround, which I guess fools the phase detector). But the center-channel result was a mystery. I tried a different speaker - a two-way instead of my usual three-way center - and slightly different mike positions, but I got the same result. Hmm.
The RX-V661 got the levels spot-on up front, however, and just 1 to 2 dB low at the surrounds. I guess the moral here is that while auto setup is a useful tool - and vastly better than no calibration at all (which I'm dismally certain is the fate of more than a few first home theaters) - it behooves the setter-upper to check the results against known standards.
The RX-V661 also derives individual equalization for each speaker as part of its auto routine. I found these results generally sensible, given what I know of my speakers' and room's response curves - but I still preferred the sound of my system with the EQ bypassed. Other rooms and speakers will, of course, always differ.

Even the mega force that is Lady Gaga can't seem to control those fashion editors. The images of her first fragrance, Fame, was leaked early by editors so Mother Monster decided to take to Twitter to fill her fans in on her new scent.
The "first ever black eau de parfum," Fame was created by Coty who has also partnered with artists including Jennifer Lopez and Madonna.
The perfume is displayed in a sleek bottle and includes a description that is unlike anything you have witnessed: tears of Belladonna, crushed heart of tiger orchidea with a black veil of incense, pulverized apricot and the combinative essences of saffron and honey drops.
Gaga gets even more deep with the description, citing the perfume as a "first of its kind." The description goes on to say, "This perfume is an innovation in fluid technology. It's black like the soul of fame, but invisible once airborne."
Looks like photos of my perfume are being leaked. Oh you fashion editors I could just crinkle my hands at you! twitter.com/ladygaga/statu…
— Lady Gaga (@ladygaga) June 13, 2012
As far as whether there will be a male cologne made, Gaga filled in her fans:
My perfume was designed for women, but a lot of my gay friends wear it. "@Illuminotta: @ladygaga will there be a male version for the gays?"
— Lady Gaga (@ladygaga) June 13, 2012
Not your average smelling perfume because then again, Lady Gaga is not your average musician here's a peak into what the perfume will smell like.
Here's what it smells like! twitter.com/ladygaga/statu…
— Lady Gaga (@ladygaga) June 13, 2012
Lady Gaga's Fame perfume is due to hit shelves in September.

I had been a skeptical believer from my youth, taking everything with a grain of salt, but knowing that as I got older I'd know more. At 17, when I graduated from my Catholic high school, I left the church, believing it to be nothing more than an authoritarian organization. I consider myself to have been an agnostic at that time, not knowing whether there was a god and for a while not caring.
A few years later, I was introduced to Baha'i, and quickly became a member because it seemed to answer quite a number of questions that Christianity did not. To my still-young mind it sounded good. I remained with them for fourteen years, enjoying the comfort of the group and the sense of being a part of something. But there was always that skeptic factor. The founder of the Baha'i Faith had said that if you find something better, run to it. That's quite a bit different from the blinders put on one in other religions.
One day, while reading The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind, I happened upon a line that said something to the effect that there are no gods, but wouldn't it be nice if there were. Something snapped. I realized the truth of the statement and have been an atheist ever since. Although I had no problems with my religion I could not undo the damage to my faith. At the age of 35, I resigned from the Baha'i Faith.
With the dawning of the internet, I became a forum regular and began to see people who astounded me. Sometimes a 14-year-old would present arguments against religion that were overwhelming and I was envious. I wanted to be able to make arguments like that. I've spent the years since then reading and learning and researching and thinking and I've come to greatly enjoy doing so. Once again, I feel as if I am a part of something – a worldwide change as the old edifices crumple under the weight of knowledge.

Found the jerk who's doing this on slashdot. Of course, as a mozilla user, it doesn't affect me.
What if you do something like put in a <br> every 20 words or so if the post exceeds a certain period to character ratio? It seems like there has to be some way to fix it.
Can a person use the foes system to make posts appear at -2? That might help moderators who browse at -1. (Wish I knew what that was like; 50-karma though I am, with almost half of my stories accepted, I never get to moderate slashdot. sniff.) Metamod would still be a problem for folks, but not much, since the metamod pages are shorter, it should be immediately obvious what's going on in the post, and not everyone has to see it. (I've never seen one of these in metamoderation.) And since the posts get posted at -1 in the first place, or modded down soon after, most regular users shouldn't have to bother.

Philip J. Shaver, MD, FACC
Every month, Eisenhower Medical Center employees recognize the extraordinary accomplishments of the Center's medical staff by awarding a physician the Eisenhower Physician of the Month Award. A number of factors are considered: outstanding patient care, exceptional leadership, dedication to teamwork and mentorship of staff, contributions to the community, and an unwavering commitment to excellence at Eisenhower.
At the end of each year, the hospital staff selects one physician from the monthly award winners as the Eisenhower Medical Center Physician of the Year. For 2008, Eisenhower selected cardiologist Philip J. Shaver, MD, FACC to receive this prestigious honor. The award was announced and presented to Dr. Shaver on March 30, 2009.
Dr. Shaver has been a cardiologist at Eisenhower for more than 30 years. He has served in a wide variety of leadership roles at Eisenhower, including as Chief of Cardiology, Chairman of the Department of Medicine and President of the Medical Staff. Since 2002, Dr. Shaver has served as Eisenhower's Director of Medical Education, and since 2003, has served as Medical Advisor to Eisenhower's Healthy Living magazine.
"Dr. Shaver is passionate about education. Throughout his career, he has championed physician education and community education activities," said Lynn Hart, Administrative Director of Surgical Services at Eisenhower, when presenting the award. "Over the years, he has formally and informally taught many nurses, including myself, the skills of advanced EKG [electrocardiogram] interpretation, physiology of cardiovascular disease, and disease management…. He is still visible educating the community through Healthy Living magazine.""...share what you know. You will benefit from it, and so will our patients."
In addition to his work at Eisenhower, Dr. Shaver served for many years in the United States Navy Reserve, and was staff cardiologist at the Naval Medical Center, San Diego, from 1993 to 2002. A graduate of Purdue University and The Ohio State University, Dr. Shaver is Board Certified in Cardiology and Internal Medicine. When he is not hard at work at Eisenhower, Dr. Shaver can usually be found on the bicycle trail, or at home sampling new wines with family and friends.
"It is our obligation to share with and mentor our colleagues so they may benefit from what we have learned, and from the experience we have obtained. To keep the passion in what we do, keep on learning.We are fortunate to be in a profession that requires lifelong learning," stated Dr. Shaver, accepting the award. "Then, share what you know. You will benefit from it, and so will our patients."

BTC BRIEF: Legislative Budget Targets: Cutting to the heart of state and local jobs and services
By Brenna Burch
Public Policy Analyst, BTC
March 2011
- The leadership in the NC General Assembly has given each legislative joint appropriations subcommittee a spending target to aim for as its members create budget proposals for each department of state government. These targets are based on a $18.3 billion total budget—$1.6 billion less than the governor's budget proposal—and would require drastic budget cuts in all areas, from schools to health care to services for those who are elderly and disabled.
- An $18.3 billion budget would be an 8.4 percent reduction over the current year budget, making it the largest year-over-year percent reduction in total state spending in the last 30 years.
- Such extensive state spending cuts, along with accompanying reductions in local spending, would eliminate thousands of jobs and undermine North Carolina's nascent economic recovery.

OAKS FALL . . . An exciting postseason run by the Menlo College men's basketball team came to an end in a 66-63 loss to host CSU Martime in the championship game of the California Pacific Conference playoffs on Monday night in Vallejo. The Oaks (10-18) and Keelhaulers (24-6) played a highly competitive brand of basketball, but Maritime's ability to make clutch free throws down the stretch proved to be the difference. It was CSU Maritime's second consecutive Cal Pac tournament title. With just over five minutes remaining, Maritime took their largest lead of the night, 49-39. In the final minutes of the game, ChaRunn Jones proved he wasn't ready for his career at Menlo to conclude. Jones scored 12 points in just over 3 1/2 minutes, capped off by a rare four-point-play. The Oaks, however, had to begin fouling as they trailed by six with just minutes remaining. Maritime continued to hit free throws, and Jones kept taking it down the court and answering with three-pointers. Despite the best efforts of Jones and the Oaks, the Keelhaulers were not to be denied as they held on. Jones led all scorers with 20 points on the night. John Smith and Charles Barnes each added eight for the Oaks while teammate Keith Bowman contributed eight points and 12 rebounds in the loss.

The final film from director Alain Corneau ("Serie Noire", "Tous Les Matins Du Monde"), "Love Crime" pits the fiery talents of Ludivine Sagnier ("A Girl Cut in Two") and Oscar-nominee Kristin Scott Thomas ("The English Patient") against each other in a deliciously twisted tale of office politics that turn, literally, cut-throat.
When Christine, a powerful executive (Scott Thomas), brings on a naive young ingenue, Isabelle (Sagnier), as her assistant, she delights in toying with her naivete and teaching her hard lessons in a ruthless professional philosophy. But when the protege's ideas become tempting enough for Christine to pass one as her own, she underestimates Isabelle's ambition and cunning - and the ground is set for all out war. In this devilish, propulsive thriller, Corneau sets up a the scenery expertly and his actors devour it.

- Force India news
Bianchi eyeing 2013 race seat at Force India
- Drivers:
- Jules Bianchi
- Teams:
- Force India
Force India test driver Jules Bianchi is aiming to be promoted to race driver next season after a series of Friday morning practice drives and his recent Young Driver Test at Magny-Cours.
Bianchi has split his time between Force India test duties and racing in the World Series by Renault this year, in which he is currently third and in with a shot at the title. Over the last two years Force India has promoted its test drivers to race seats, first with Paul di Resta and then with Nico Hulkenberg, and Bianchi believes he is ready to make the step up in 2013.
"I'm just trying to focus on what I'm doing this year with the World Series and the Friday mornings at Force India," he told ESPNF1 at Monza. "It's really important that I need to do well and show people that I deserve the seat. I will try to have a race seat for next year and I hope it will be with Sahara Force India of course."
Rumours that Lewis Hamilton may switch to Mercedes have led to suggestions that di Resta could move to McLaren, while both Force India drivers have been mentioned as potential replacements for Felipe Massa at Ferrari. Bianchi, who is managed by Nicolas Todt, said he was following the rumours and is hoping to know soon whether an opening will come at Force India.
"I read everything and it's a bit funny because people say lots of things and you don't really know what's going on. I think there is nothing done yet and we will just have to wait and see. But for sure things will move soon."
Bianchi has topped the timesheets at the last two days of the Young Driver Test at Magny-Cours, driving for Ferrari on the first day and Force India on the second. For the final day he is back with Ferrari, but Force India's chief engineer Jakob Andreasen said he made a good impression on the team on Wednesday.
"We've had an excellent day with Jules - he really stepped up to the task in hand and continued to impress all of us," Andreasen said. "Of course, we already know Jules well from running him during Friday practice sessions, but today he we was able to spend a full day in the car and demonstrate his potential. It was clear he felt comfortable in the car and we saw his confidence continue to grow with each run."

Social Media and Post-Purchase Referrals
A part, but a severely overlooked one, of running a business is motivating your customers to brag about your products to their friends and connections. In the past, this task was accomplished only through word-of-mouth referrals. But with the help of social media, doing something like bragging about their purchases is as easy as a […]Read More

I'm trying to help my wife's aunt buy cheaper car insurance. She is 82 yrs old,single, never had a ticket nor an accident & decent health for age. She drives to church on Sunday, grocery once per week & occasionally out to eat maybe 2 times per week. Call it 8 miles per trip X 3 times per week max for total of 50 mile weekly average & NEVER when icy!
If you saw her you would guess she was 15 years younger! During a short nursing home stay last year due only because of a knee rehab & her house being 2 story,etc., she was constantly asked if she worked there.
She drives a 2001 Olds and currently has liability only through AARP/Hartford @ $1662 per year. Her homeowners is through KY Farm Bureau Ins & there policy was way higher than current one. As she is a non web person I'm beginning to look for her as a way to save. I did ask her why she pays $249 yrly for a medical benefit on that policy that also includes work loss-seems to me that with Medicare & retired for many years thats not logical but only part of the money picture.
I'm used to shopping for bike insurance but mine is all long term with KY Farm Bureau for cars,house,farm. She's paying far more than me @ 68 yrs old & ours is 2 drivers,full coverage on late model cars & lots more mileage-ours are ~$500yrly for each car & truck, bike is less than $150 yrly and we live 72 k from her.
Any ideas to get her cost down?

Girl Dying of Cancer Selflessly Donates Her Make-a-Wish to Her School [VIDEO]
This is one amazing girl.
Jayci Glover, a 13-year-old girl from Kanab, Utah suffering from terminal cancer used the wish she was granted by the Make-a-Wish Foundation to get her school a new scoreboard for the gym.
Last week, Kanab High School received a check for $7,500 in Jayci's name to use toward the scoreboard. The boy's basketball team also paid tribute by sporting shirts reading 'Fight Like Jayci.' Players also gave her roses and a hug and a kiss before their game.
Jayci had been undergoing treatment in Salt Lake City, but returned home earlier this month to a throng of well-wishers. Jayci was blown away by the scene, saying, "I tried to wave and smile but everyone was crying. [There were] a lot of people. It was kind of overwhelming, but really awesome."
If you'd like to help Jayci's family with their medical bills, you can contribute here.

I just changed computers and installed ZoneAlarm Free 11.0.000.057. I have an FTP server running which listens on port 526. My router is configured to pass incoming calls to the IP of my PC. When testing with one client for the first time on this PC, Zonealarm asked permission for the EFT server which I gave. The client could connect and everything seemed to work.
However after the client disconnected he could not reconnect anymore. Only after restarting of the server could the client connect again. To see what the problem might be, I did the following.
1) Client could connect one time, not the second time.
2) I disabled the firewall, now the client could connect. My conclusion is that Zonealarm blocks the incoming traffic. It shouldn't because it should know that the EFTP server is listening to that port.
3) I looked in the log and saw indeed that it had blocked that particular IP-address.
4) When I add the incoming IP to the incoming zone and enable the firewall, the client can access the server again.
Problem is that the client can login from any IP address, so the problem basically remains. Any idea why the first login to the server is accepted by ZoneAlarm, and the next attempts are blocked?
I also tested with version 10.2.068.000 and had the same result. On my old PC I had a much older version and did not have this problem. I also tested with 3 different ports and with 3 different persons. All have the same problem that they can only connect once.

By Joetta Sack-Min
The "greening" of Florida's Broward County Schools started with a school board member and an uprooted ficus.
Robert Parks saw the enormous tree blocking a road when he went grocery shopping shortly after Hurricane Wilma swept through in 2005. His curiosity piqued, Parks learned that ficus trees weren't native to Florida and couldn't withstand the state's severe weather. When Parks studied the district's construction program, he realized most landscaping included non-native plantings that eventually would face the same fate.
Parks shuns the "tree hugger" label, but he learned the need for conserving water, energy, and other natural resources when growing up on Key West, and he thought those lessons should be practiced by the Broward County district and handed down to students.
His board resolution to use only native plantings for school landscapes ultimately led to a strategic plan for the 255,000-student district to become more environmentally friendly—saving millions of dollars annually.
"One of the more important things besides being green was that we wanted to look at a return on investment," says Parks. "There are two major goals: one is to become a totally green, large urban-suburban school district, and second, we want to not only save money but avoid costs."
Districts across the country are embracing similar strategies through sustainable construction and renovations, natural resources conservation, alternative energy systems, healthier indoor air quality, and programs to instill such values into students. Alternative energy is expected to be a priority in the Obama administration, and many advocates expect green building and sustainability will be a priority for new initiatives.
Tight budgets also are pushing many school districts to "go green." Using less means lower costs. Building a sustainable facility or incorporating features into a renovation saves money over the long term. And just changing day-today practices may not cost a dime, but it can add up to significant savings.

Fox is having quite a year so far…with some pretty cool shows (both new and returning) and one heckuva big time announcement that's got everyone buzzing. But first, let's not overlook the name Nicole Richie and Joel Madden gave their brand new son (Sparrow) nor should we omit the fact that Grey's Anatomy star Katherine Heigl and hubby Josh Kelley have just adopted their first child (name: Nayleigh) Congratulations to both couples!
But back to Fox. Did you see Glee Did you like it? And how about the premiere of So You Think You Can Dance? Definitely want your feedback on these two shows. And then of course we have the Fox Big Announcement (although by the time you read this it may not be quite so big) but still, I think it's huge and like it or not, it has everyone in the entertainment biz talking. For better or for worse. (Don't you wish some of them would just pipe down ?) So here goes — Paula Abdul's stepped down from American Idol…and Ellen DeGeneres is taking her place as the show's new permanent fourth judge. Plus she's going to keep her day job, too! So this means we have Simon, Randy, Kara and now the Lady E taking over Paula's vacated seat. What say you to this? Voice your choice in today's featured poll. Because today it's all about Ellen's new job…will her addition make American Idol even better, even worse, or will it not really change anything at all?
What do you think about Ellen taking over as permanent judge on American Idol?
a) It's awesome. She'll raise the Idol bar.
b) She's not the greatest choice. They could have done better.
c) Ehhh…I don't think it'll affect Idol either way.

While I sympathize with your employment problems, I feel you simply do not understand the gravity of the statements you have made in this thread. Namely, these statements (with emphasis added) are the most [edited] objectionable words I've ever seen posted on Dhamma Wheel:rosuto wrote:I, personally, would love for some of those jobs to be open in my area. Then I could get back to work, instead of being shot down at job after job.
To say a group of people breaks the law by their "very act of breathing" echoes the propoganda of a certain Vernichtungspolitik we know all too well. Why is it that you do not want undocumented immigrants to breath?rosuto wrote:... the placating of those whose very act of breathing breaks the law is beyond me.
... They chose to have a child here illegally.
Likewise, the political position that a certain segment of the population should not be allowed to have children echoes a horrifying policy of forced sterilization that has been applied in many cultures in modern history, including in the United States.
The most current proposal for amnesty in U.S. immigration policy discussions is to offer illegal immigrants a chance to pay a fine or fee in order to apply for legal status, assuming the immigrants meet certain guidelines such as not being convicted felons. This is a far cry from offering free amnesty to anyone. Some people (such as yourself) are trying to twist the public debate in order to paint the current proposals as some kind of free amnesty for anyone. That's just dishonest.
Everybody agrees that U.S. immigration policy is broken and does not work. In some cases, the enforcement of U.S. immigration law can be likened to Sharia, a legal system in which the penalty can be inhumane. For example, under Sharia, a thief might have his hand cut off. Does the punishment fit the crime?
Likewise, the enforcement of U.S. immigration policy in some cases imposes enormously harsh penalties for relatively minor infractions. We are talking about children being separated from their parents, families split up, due to incorrect paperwork being filed with a bureaucracy. It's insane.
For your information, my wife was not a U.S. citizen when I met her. She was in the United States on a student visa and had no intention of staying. When we decided to get married, we saw an attorney. One option we had was to forget about marriage. The other option was to take our chances with U.S. immigration law. So my wife overstayed her student visa while we got married and filed the paperwork for her to become a permanent legal resident. It took more than five years.
During that time, there were periods when my wife was technically deportable. We also had a baby together after we were married, but before her permanent residency status was approved. During that time, technically the U.S. government could have ordered my wife to leave her U.S.-born child (my son) behind unless we all decided to leave the United States together. (That means two U.S. citizens would have to leave the country because the U.S. government would not allow the spouse of one U.S. citizen to stay.)
Fortunately we are educated people of means, so we had good legal representation. Today, my wife is a U.S. citizen. But understand this: There are plenty of real human beings out there with equally valid reasons to stay in the U.S., but because they lack education, because they lack money and legal counsel, they get deported. This is a class issue. Many of the "illegal immigrants" that so many middle-class Americans despise are working-class people who are "illegal" only because the U.S. immigration system is broken.
So when you say that some people "by their very act of breathing" are breaking the law, you are saying that my wife should not have been allowed to breath, because for a while (under the advice of legal counsel), she was undocumented. And when you say that some people should not have children, you are saying that I should not have my son. What my wife and I did to become a family was, in the end, legally acceptable to the U.S. government. We are lucky.
I personally know loving, caring "illegal immigrants" who pay taxes, contribute to society, are the parents of U.S. citizens, etc. You can find such people easily: For example, look to the farm fields where your food is grown. Throughout the United States, food growers have an economic stake in helping to enact a sane U.S. immigration policy. Fixing the U.S. immigration policy is a national-security issue if for the sole reason of securing a reliable supply of food. A significant portion of the U.S. economy is built on labor that, in virtually any other nation on Earth, would be legal. But somehow, the U.S. has messed up its immigration policy to such an extent that a huge portion of its labor pool is illegal. That's crazy.
Immigration cases are complex, and each family has its own story. I'm so saddened when I hear middle-class Americans lump all "illegal immigrants" into the same basket and label them all criminals. This attitude is so much full of greed, hate and delusion.

Miner Enterprises received its first customer order on June 7, 1894, "to supply the rapidly growing railroad industry with high quality engineered railcar components, said President and General Manager Ric Biehl. "The industry has changed dramatically in 120 years. However, our commitment to innovative design, customer needs, high quality service, and building trust remain the hallmark of the Miner brand."
"Originally founded in 1894 as W.H. Miner, our company provided spring draft rigging and then friction gears for railroads transitioning from wooden frames," explained Executive Director Global Sales Bill O'Donnell. "It continued to grow rapidly with the standardization of draft gear pockets, automatic couplers, and braking systems."
Today, Miner Enterprises products include draft gears, unloading systems, hatch covers, side bearings, brake beams, buffer springs, and drawgear springs. Customers include all Class I and Class II railroads worldwide, freight car builders, shippers, leasing companies, and contract freight car repair shops.
"Miner products are purchased in 56 countries, and the Miner name is well known around the world," said O'Donnell. "We are exceptionally gratified by the trust our customers place in our company. We work hard to continue to deserve that trust. Miner's experienced staff of engineers and technicians works closely with sales and marketing to provide superior products and services that always meet or exceed our customers' needs and the changing needs of the marketplace."
Miner's editorial and advertising relationship with the Simmons-Boardman Publishing Corp. Railway Division and Railway Age dates back to the early 20th century (1928 cover ad pictured). "We've always valued our relationship with Miner," said Railway Age Editor-in-Chief William C. Vantuono. "Miner has always been a valuable source of information for our publications, and we of course appreciate their business. Now, in the age of digital publishing, it's gratifying—and in a very real sense, almost extraordinary—that long-standing, iconic railway supply companies such as Miner continue to participate in what we do."

In 1993, Rough Trade records put out Lipstick Traces, a "soundtrack" to the book by Greil Marcus. It's one of my favorite CDs of all time, with tracks by The Slits, Essential Logic, The Raincoats, The Mekons, Buzzcocks, The Gang of Four, Jonathan Richmond and the Modern Lovers, Situationist philosopher Guy Debord and others. It's an amazing collection, but one track in particular stands out from the rest, a recitation by none other than Marie Osmond, of Dada poet Hugo Ball's nonsensical gibberish piece from 1916, "Karawane."
Hugo Ball was a follower of anarchist philosopher Mikail Bakunin and became one of the founders of the Zurich nightclub, Cabaret Voltaire, the nexus of the Dada art movement. He would go onstage dressed like this and basically, uh, do avant garde things:
Ball's unusual costumes were later ripped off by David Bowie, and then Klaus Nomi after him. Another of Ball's Dada poems, "Gadji beri bimba" was adapted into the Talking Heads number "I Zimbra" on 1979's Fear of Music album.
Here's the story behind this, I think you'll agree, most excellent clip. From the Lipstick Traces liner notes:
As host of a special (Ripley's Believe It or Not) show on sound poetry, Osmond was asked by the producer to recite only the first line of Ball's work; incensed at being thought too dumb for art, she memorized the lot and delivered it whole in a rare "glimpse of freedom."
Believe it or not...

So filling in some family background for characters from later/earlier Trek series seems like fair game, if I can justify it. Tobin, as stated, is an established character from this period. We know the Paris family goes way back in Starfleet, hence Caroline. Commander Williams was named in honor of Shatner, suggesting to me the possibility that he was an ancestor of Kirk's. And so on. Plus, let's face it, TOS is more popular than ENT. The Rise of the Federation premise may draw in a number of readers who wouldn't otherwise pick up an ENT novel, so I feel it's appropriate to give the fans of other Trek series something they can recognize and connect to. But it's a matter of taste. When I wrote the outline, I sent it to both Kevin Dilmore and Kirsten Beyer to see what they thought of it. Kevin loved all the continuity nods, while Kirsten thought they were a bit much.

PASHLEY Poppy, classic, £435, www.pashley.co.uk
- By London Cycling Campaign on at 11:35am 29 April 2011
- Posted in:
- Tagged with: pashley, poppy, classic
This is a British-built 'Dutch-style' cruiser that's made with a well-finished, traditionally lugged steel frame.
The Poppy uses Sturmey Archer hubs brakes and three-speed hub gear (operated by trigger shifter), both of which have proved fuss-free. The drivetrain is partially enclosed to keep your clothes clean and full-wrap mudguards provide excellent protection in the wet.
The 26-inch rims are clad in attractive and highly puncture-proof cream rubber (Schwalbe Marathons), while the sprung Brooks perch is both classy and supportive. The swept bars and cork grips are nicely shaped, completing a comfortable cockpit that's happy on both shorter cross-town ambles or weekend pub crawls. It's certainly a head-turner.
On the road, the Pashley's efficient, rather than mind-blowing, with a set-up that encourages leisurely lopes rather than breezy blasts. Nevertheless, the ride is always balanced and confidence-inspiring.
Available in pink and blue, the Poppy comes in sizes 17.5in, 20in and 22.5in, with a two-year warranty. Be warned, though, that accessories like the basket, rack, kickstand and dynamo lighting can up the price fairly significantly. LC
PROS gears, saddle, tyres
CONS extras make it pricey

NOTE: should be R1100RT
And here's the part..:
Bear with me as I try and explain this... I am looking for two replacement body parts. These are the side covers that are black that hang right under the seats, on the side of the bike. They are plastic with twist knobs that secure them to the fairing.
If you know what I'm talking about( I can't for the life of me find what they are called) any idea where I might find replacements? Ebay doesn't seem to have any at the moment...
Also, any idea why these might be gone on a bike? Any thing in particular that might signify... other than a careless owner. :-)
Thanks much


text: As for the molestation case if I am going to levy blame on anyone with the information I have I will levy it directly upon the AD and School president. That said, there was a failure along the chain of command and an atrocity was allowed to happen. So back to my original point I think it would be prudent to allow all the facts to come to light before throwing the first stone.

Philadelphia sheriff's office raided by FBI
A source close to the investigation said the search was focused on the office's real-estate unit
By Solomon Leach
Philadelphia Daily News
PHILADELPHIA — FBI agents seized computers and other documentation during a raid of the Philadelphia Sheriff's Office yesterday morning.
FBI spokeswoman Carrie Adamowski confirmed that agents were there, but would not comment on the nature of the investigation or its target. A source close to the investigation said the search was focused on the office's real-estate unit. Agents took "a whole boatload of stuff," the source said.
Sheriff Jewell Williams released a statement yesterday afternoon through a spokesman, which said in part, "As part of an ongoing investigation begun in the previous administration, the FBI arrived . . . this morning with a search warrant and subpoena for certain records and files."
Williams said his office cooperated fully with investigators.
The office has been a target of multiple federal investigations over the last few years after Controller Alan Butkovitz alleged financial irregularities under former Sheriff John D. Green, who stepped down in 2011.
Since Green's departure, eight people have been convicted or pleaded guilty in a fraudulent check-writing scheme masterminded by Richard Bell, a former accounting clerk in the Sheriff's Office. Also, in June, federal prosecutors accused California developer Gerard Joseph of conspiring with Bell to buy properties at sheriff's sale for 10 percent of the supposed purchase price and paying Bell a fee.
Green, a former vendor and others also were sued by the city in April for failing to pay Philadelphia Gas Works money it was owed from sheriff's sales.

Why the Worst May Soon Be Over, in Two Charts
Calling the bottom for U.S. stocks in real time is generally a fool's game. But with that caveat in mind, there are signs mounting that the worst of the stock market's recent pullback may be close to over.
After wavering earlier Monday, U.S. stocks recently extended last week's broad-based declines. The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 45 points after tumbling 318 points on Friday, its worst one-day drop in seven months.
And yet, evidence is building that suggests a short-term bottom may be in.
Chris Verrone, head of technical analysis at Strategas Research Partners in New York, who accurately predicted Friday morning that it was too early to buy the dips, now says some of his indicators point to stocks getting close to bottoming.
As the chart below shows, the percentage of S&P 500 stocks trading at their 20-day lows hit 48% ahead of Monday's open. That is "certainly getting closer to the 50%-60% threshold that can often be an early, but buyable oversold signal," he said.
Along similar lines, the percentage of stocks trading above their 20-day moving averages is approaching a four-month low.
Other indicators are also being closely watched. The S&P 500 finished Friday below its 50-day moving average, a technical indicator that many traders use as confirmation of the market's short-term direction. Recent forays below the 50-day average have been followed by quick rebounds higher, a pattern that has played out repeatedly over the past few years.
The takeaway: "Our best guess is that stocks are within a percent or two of finding support and bouncing, but suspect the first quarter is likely to remain choppy (particularly as seasonality starts to fade into February)," Mr. Verrone wrote in a note to clients. "In terms of support, we're still looking to the 1740-1760 range on the S&P 500 chart."
The S&P 500 recently fell 13 points, or 0.8%, to 1776. If Mr. Verrone's forecasting ability proves to be accurate, the S&P 500 could slump a little more to the downside before setting up a fresh buying opportunity.
