OCALA, Fla. - Police say an Ocala school worker has been arrested for sending naked pictures to students.
A student told detectives that in Jan. 2013, he received what he believed were 26 naked pictures of 43-year-old Jody Onorato on his cell phone.
The student said he admitted that prior to receiving the photos, he and Onorato texted each other several times that were "sexual in nature," said detectives.
Detectives said the student said he and Onorato never got together to have a physical sex encounter.
The mother of student told detectives that she confronted her son after she found out about the rumors in high school that he had naked photos of Onorato in his cell phone.
The student admitted to his mother that he, in fact, had several naked pictures of Onorato in his cell phone, but detectives said he deleted them.
Detectives said the mother told them that she made contact with another former student from Vanguard, who told her that her son had sent the other student a naked photo of Onorato back in Oct. 2012.
On Friday, Detectives conducted a control phone call between the second student's mother and Onorato. In the recorded conversation, detectives said Onorato apologized to the mother for sending a naked picture of her to her son.
Detectives conducted a second control phone call on Friday between the first student's mother and Onorato. Detectives said this mother confronted Onorato and asked her what she was thinking when she sent all the naked photos of her to her son over the cell phone.
Onorato apologized to this mother for sending her son naked pictures of her. Detectives said Onorato told this mother that this took place sometime at the beginning of Jan. 2013.
Detectives said Onorato confessed to a detective that she had sent naked photos to both of the students. Onorato told detectives she did not know exactly when she sent her naked photos to the first student, but was over one year ago.
Onorato also confessed to sending more than one naked photo to the second student and believes this happened at the beginning of the year.
Onorato has been charged with two counts of transmitting harmful material to a minor with bond set at $10,000.

While sitting bored out of my skull watching the new Superdude, Henry Cavill, flail about trying to act in the sensory overload that is Zack Snyder's "Man of Steel," I started to question why very bad things only happen to people when there is a grown man in junk-hugging spandex around. Could it be that Superdude is a jinx? And if he is, shouldn't the Red Sox arrange for him to sit near the Yankees' dugout?
While sitting bored out of my skull watching the new Superdude, Henry Cavill, flail about trying to act in the sensory overload that is Zack Snyder's "Man of Steel," I started to question why very bad things only happen to people when there is a grown man in junk-hugging spandex around. Could it be that Superdude is a jinx? And if he is, shouldn't the Red Sox arrange for him to sit near the Yankees' dugout? Even better, shouldn't the CIA hire him to infiltrate al-Qaida or Kim Jong-un's palace? Maybe we could even do away with Obama's Prism program and replace it with Clark Kent's keen sense of hearing and X-ray vision. Lord knows we don't want him anywhere near us, sending school buses plunging off deteriorating bridges, reducing gleaming cities to rubble and propagating putrid, mindless superhero movies.
OK, the latter is not his fault. No, that dubious distinction belongs to Snyder and his scenarists David S. Goyer and Christopher Nolan, who are bound and determined to turn the iconic Superman saga into a dreary, existential journey into the horrors of an overinflated special effects budget. Give them credit. They certainly know – to quote the late, great Roger Ebert – "how to blow stuff up real good." But what they don't know is how to tell an intelligent thought-provoking tale in which humor, charm and a semblance of character development leap to the fore. By the way, they're called "SPECIAL" effects, meaning that for them to remain "special," they must be, by nature, a rare commodity whose arrival you await with growing anticipation. In Snyder's cacophonous universe the effects are never "special," they're just overbearing and constant, leaving no room for anything remotely human. And that goes double for Hans Zimmer's accompanying score, which periodically can be detected between explosions and the thunder of collapsing skyscrapers.
Only on the rare occasion when Cavill is allowed to open his pretty mouth and deliver a monosyllabic sentence do you appreciate the ambient sound of world destruction. The heck with Michael Shannon's beyond lame General Zod, the dude you want to see Superman violently vanquish is Cavill, who is the very definition of "crimes against humanity" – and acting. Of course, when your director is the guy who inflicted "Sucker Punch" upon us, Cavill never stood a chance. Where's Brandon Routh – I can't believe I'm writing this – when we need him most? It's not like Cavill has a lot to do. He mostly stands around in clingy spandex brooding or looking pensive (or is that clueless?) whenever he's not involved in an over-edited "fight to the death" with Zod, even though both are pretty much indestructible. Even in their climactic showdown, which drags on and on and on and on for nearly an hour, neither seems to endure more than a scratch, while earthlings and their temples of concrete and steel are rendered dust. What fun!
Proving that Cavill and Shannon haven't cornered the market on terrible acting, up pops Russell Crowe, who plays Superdude's father, Jor-El, as if he were an interplanetary Maximus Decimus Meridius. He shouts, he screams, he spits and he stinks. Gotta love the 3-D PowerPoint he pulls out of his space helmet when he drops in on Superdude, aka Kal-El, to explain to him the history of Planet Krypton and why he was exiled to Earth. Too bad Pops didn't also explain the birds and the bees to his dimwitted Kal, who hasn't a clue what to do with Amy Adams' curvy Lois Lane when she comes to call.
Like every good actor mixed up in this mess – that includes you Laurence Fishburne as the first black Perry White, and you, Kevin Costner and Diane Lane as Kal's adoptive parents, the Kents – Adams is hopelessly wasted, given little to do but utter platitudes and expository dialogue. And where in the Daily Planet is Jimmy Olson? He's as much a part of Superman as Clark Kent's bright red granny panties. For that matter, where is Superman? The one I've known and loved for more than 50 years is nowhere to be found, replaced by a plastic, uncharismatic Superdude, who'd make a great fashion model, but is a horrid Man of Steel.
I appreciate Nolan, who is credited with the story idea, wanting to take us beyond the familiar Superman story into new, less campy directions, a la his "Dark Knight" trilogy. But he and Goyer, who wrote the paper-thin script, go too dark by removing all inklings of humor and romance. They also waste far too much time explaining the mythology, especially during a rambling preamble in which it takes Crowe more than 20 minutes to load his naked little brat on a spacecraft and ship him off to Kansas to be raised by God-fearing farmers in a backwater called Smallville. Yes, Costner and Lane (both terrific) are playing hicks from the sticks, but their scenes with young Clark (Cooper Timberline) are the only moments when "Man of Steel" approaches anything close to profound and heartfelt. The rest, true to the film's title, is just a lot of clanging metal that quickly turns to rust.
MAN OF STEEL (PG-13 for intense sequences of sci-fi violence, action and destruction, and for some language.) Cast includes Henry Cavill, Russell Crowe, Amy Adams, Michael Shannon, Kevin Costner, Diane Lane and Laurence Fishburne. Directed by Zack Snyder. Grade: D

The heavy wooden door to the Sistine Chapel has been closed and locked, signaling the start of the conclave to elect a new pope to succeed Benedict XVI following his stunning resignation.
Monsignor Guido Marini, master of liturgical ceremonies, closed the double doors after shouting "Extra omnes," Latin for "all out," telling everyone but those taking part in the conclave to leave the frescoed hall. He then locked it.
Benedict's resignation has thrown the church into turmoil and exposed deep divisions among cardinals grappling with whether to pick a manager who can clean up the Vatican bureaucracy or a pastor who can inspire Catholics at a time of crisis.

Recruiting for the class of 2008 is not yet in the books but college coaches are already thinking about the class of 2009. In turn, Rivals.com couldn't wait until after National Signing Day before getting a jump on the next group of seniors.
This weekend kicks off the first set of the Rivals.com Five-Star Academies and what better place to place to open things up than the talent-rich state of Texas. The two events in two days will be featuring the best of the class of 2009 in the Lone Star State.
Over the course of the two days, Rivals.com will be compiling AMP video interviews with some of Texas' premiere talent, observations on which players - sleeper and star alike - pass the eyeball test, player features and stories as well as photo galleries.
While the Five-Star Academies should be a great opportunity to discover some under-the-radar prospects from the area, it will also be a chance to catch up with some of the names that have already separated themselves as juniors.
On Saturday afternoon, SMU's campus will welcome newly-anointed Rivals100 member Ryan Mossakowski. The 6-foot-5 signal-caller wowed everyone in attendance at the U.S. Army All-American Combine and managed to toss up close to 3,000 yards passing as a junior.
Mossakowski will be joined by another combine all-star as 6-foot-4, 270-pound offensive tackle Kyle Clark is expected to make an appearance. Clark is out of Denton, Texas and was honored on the All-Combine team in San Antonio for his work on the offensive line.
Some other notables scheduled to appear in Dallas include Terdema Ussery out of Dallas (Texas) St. Mark's, a 6-foot-3 wide receiver that already boasts an offer from Stanford as well as Pflugerville's Alex Okafor who has Nebraska and Texas Tech offers to his credit.
There will be more than enough talent to go around in Houston as well.
Five-star quarterback prospect Russell Shepard will be one of the headliners of the weekend and he will be bringing along his teammate Hasan Lipscomb. Both Shepard and Lipscomb have the talent to be among the most highly-recruited players in the nation for the class of 2009.
Shepard will be joined by teammates as well as family members. Cousin and fellow Rivals100 member Craig Loston is scheduled to attend the event hosted by the University of Houston. Loston's Aldine (Texas) Eisenhower teammate Greg Timmons is also included on the roster, adding another Rivals100 member to the list.
SMU and the University of Houston will be hosting current stars and future stars alike this weekend and Rivals.com will be there every step of the way.

All too often we get careless or in a hurry to complete a job when cutting stone pavers, and forget to use common sense when it comes to safety in the workplace. One instance happened recently, and was noticed by Heather Peters, who works for Pavestone's commercial sales in the Phoenix area.
Heather said that the contractor in the pictures was doing a small mock up job for a local city, which is probably why he didn't take the time to unload the saw and set it up properly. Instead, he stood on pavers stacked seven high to make the required cuts from the bed of his pickup truck. Luckily he did not slip, which could have been disastrous.
This is a friendly reminder to always use common sense when installing paver stones and to take the necessary time to make sure your work environment is safe. Remember to use all safety equipment required.
If you have any pictures of someone doing something like this that is "unsafe", please send us the pictures. We'll add them to this post, but will blur out the faces or names to protect the guilty.

text: Thank You Dave for fast response. Looks like You have right. Unfortunately we can't upgrade from kernel 2.0.x to 2.2.x, because of shaper module. (It works not properly under 2.2.x with aliased interfaces). And I guess that to change nettools in different kernel versions is not very smart. There is some differences in 2.2.x ... Yes, wavelan2_cs is realy not old, it's old only from my viewpoint, we use it succesfully over 1 year :-). But now we need to settle two WaveLan cards in one linux box, one in ad-hoc and one in BSS mode. And this works with drivers from Andreas (according technician from Lucent Prague, CZ). On pages of Andreas stands, that his drivers should work with kernel 2.0.x ... I've tried, to use a eth=1 switch with wvlan_cs.o driver, which is designed to turn off the special naming from "wvlan0" into obvious "eth0". The result was that the driver registers no interface !!! The driver yells: wvlan_cs: WaveLAN/IEEE PCMCIA driver v1.0.4 wvlan_cs: (c) Andreas Neuhaus <firstname.lastname@example.com> wvlan_cs: index 0x01: Vcc 5.0, irq 3, io 0x0100-0x013f wvlan_cs: Registered netdevice wvlan_cs: Valid channels: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 wvlan_cs: MAC address on wvlan0 is 00 60 1d 04 05 93 cardmgr[47]: executing: './network start ' funny, isn't it?

So yeah, PZ has a Christmas post up already? I know the malls already have spray snow, holly and mistletoe, and other signs of
war Christmas; I've heard the music, seen the decorations, smelled the mulled cider… but PZ? This must mean it's getting late.
I'm hopeful (but hey, the real world imposes itself sometimes) that I'll have some cool cephalopodmas swag for you soon, but for now…
In mega-malls and coffee shops
In giant chains and mom-and-pops
The mistletoe and holly have been decked
The garland—silver, red, and green
Has been in place since Halloween
In store displays we've all come to expect
Employees dressed as helpful elves
Are stringing lights and stocking shelves
And spraying trees with artificial snow
And everywhere, the carols play
There's no place you can get away
Cos Christmas is endangered, don't you know?
I'm gearing up for this year's war on Christmas
It's gonna be a knock-down, drag-out fight!
I'm pissed off and I'm ranty, cos
It's two full months of santy claus
And all I really want's a silent night
We see displays in family yards
And messages in greeting cards
Which use an anti-Christian sort of phrase
Though everywhere across the earth
They're celebrating Jesus' birth
They use the PC "Happy Holidays"
I've seen examples by the scores
In catalogs and online stores
As well as at some places here in town
As everybody celebrates,
Their choice of phrases demonstrates
Their real agenda's tearing Christmas down!
I'm gearing up for this year's war on Christmas
It's gonna be the worst you've ever seen
A little bad behavior's worth
The selling of our savior's birth
And doing so since not quite Halloween
We're gathering with friends, to go
Despite the cold, despite the snow,
Sing carols for the old folks down the street
Surrounded by the happy greetings,
Hugs and kisses, merry meetings,
Smiles on all the faces that we meet.
We're celebrating life and love
And not some savior from above
Our Christmas is a secular affair
Cos Christmas is for everyone—
Believe, or not, it's still just fun
And if that thought offends you, I don't care
I'm gearing up for this year's war on Christmas
The birthday of our savior Jesus Christ
And what the hell, if this myth fails
There's always after-Christmas sales
Where underwear and liquor are half priced
I really want to be able to actually sing this for you. It's really pretty cool. Or not; I'm not a musician. Yes, it is an oldie. I'm grading. It's this or the test pattern….

Discussion in 'Odds & Ends' started by zapvor, Apr 24, 2007.
haha! not surprised at all...lol
was that a Boris Becker function? Saw the wrist band.
Any peeps sell their cars in VA? I know you're supposed to keep the plates, but how can the seller drive off without plates on the car?
FWIW- basically selling my civic to my sister-in-law for the price of repairs. She lives in NJ.
Hmmm.... dunno. Since it's your sister-in-law though just let her keep the plates until she gets new ones, then have her send the old plates back to you.
Step 3 - Profit.
Yeah, I was prob going to do that. Just hope she doesn't decide to go all Fast and Furious on me on the way up to NJ.
She coudl register the car and have the temporary reg and use those I think.
But If you trust her just do what JRK says and have her send them back in mail or somehting.
thats what i was thinking!
so..... what was for lunch
i actually bought my car from a guy in reston. he let me drive the car all teh way to md to teh dmv get new plates, and then send his back to him. and he didnt know me
That's prob not the way to go with your sister in law......
i can't relate
so what is for lunch?
overcooked orange glazed pork chop, overcooked uncle ben's rice, undercooked string beans. these were not the droids i was looking for.
Sounds like the galley specialty...
ding ding ding. you are correct. your prize is whatever they've overcooked and under-seasoned today.
My grandfather said when he was in WW2 he got assinged to cook for the Platoon one night. He said he had never cooked before and the SGT told him to just season it until it tasted good enough.
He said the people were saying it was the best meal they ever had and they were going to make him permanent cook. Then they asked him where all the butter went. He used all of the butter rations making the food. But he said they guys said it was totally worth it. I think that was after the Battle of the Bulge so they probably didnt care about not having butter.
Bwhahahaha! Still better than the diet shake I'm drinking for lunch.
Nobody is writing me about the 3 blxpros I put up for sale. Guess its not high season for sellers. Oh well...I will just wait then. Ive been watching video of me practicing with Auzzie and on 1 point with the Ig Speed, I hit a good serve then crush a backhand in the corner, and for the only time in my life I instantly react and know ill get a shortball and I am at the net to slam an overhead! It's such a beautiful point. Unfortunately the video is an hour long and this good part is only 15 seconds! But still...he got pwnzered on that one! Wooooooo
Maybe zapvor will bump it again... No toe pics please!
here you go wookie
great, it's not enough to have your opponents and hitting partners telling me I am not hitting the ball right. I have my smartphone telling me the same too.
we are all interwebs ppl.. link it right folks.. gawd damn it
i call total BS BTW.
it's probably good for pros, but for a lolly 3.5 player like myself, i won't need it as much.
But you know they will sell them like crazy
You just have to find a way to edit thos ethree good shots into a 8 minute highlight video. Then you would be like 6.0 and get mad scholarships and stuff.
I don't need a racket to tell me my serves max out at 99mph... I have Sup for that.
Combine these rackets with the article talking about automated drones killing people and we basically have Skynet.
its so true......
they may as well call them big brother racquets.
btw, has anyone try to play with a Pacific racquet before? I want to try their XFast Pro 100. Specs show alot of promise.
yes! someone get a pacific so i can demo it
does ur shop carry?
btw, has anyone tried Pro's Pro Black Our or Goldenset Power Cord strings? I want to try them out.
Zap you mentioned Pro's Pro is equivalent?
no we dont have it. i heard about pros pro from nyc
Pacifics are Fischers...
I'm afraid to click on the link. Work safe? Will I need eye bleach?
That's kind of cool. These sensors plus video analysis of your strokes could be a decent tool for rec players. Could see if your tweaks to your game really have any effect.
work safe.
hahaha! Here's another for you JRs:
LOL! Going to try vs. my better judgement.
it's good.
lol classic
I had a beef kabob for lunch today. With bbq sauce.

you gotta steer away from jackson heights man remember those european thugs that got off the train there
i have already endured endless abuse from german, austrian, and swiss thugs over the course of my difficult life... now i am ready for the heights because i can produce fire and ice at will...:twisted:

Many fishermen are saying the fish are already moving shallow in many areas, and many are full of eggs which would lead us to believe many species of fish are spawning early this year.
Without a doubt, the warmer weather has fishermen adjusting their start times and many have already began their fishing season. Every aspiring angler throughout the area starts to get the yearning for a little quality fishing time once the temperatures break the 70-degree mark for the first time of the year, and last week sent them out in groves.
Regardless of the type of fishing folks enjoy doing, everyone is excited to make that first trip of the year. Actually, those die-hard crappie anglers have had many of the area lakes and streams all to themselves the past few weeks. But after this past week, things will definitely be much more crowded.
The crappie bite has been good to exceptional for nearly a month now on Lake Ouachita, Blue Mountain, Nimrod and Lake Atkins.
On Blue Mountain, crappie are being caught in both the lake and in the Petit Jean River — with large numbers of fish being caught. A few anglers have said the size varies from spot to spot and day to day, but if you like catching lots of fish there is no better time to be crappie fishing on Blue Mountain.
Lake Atkins and Lake Nimrod are traditional crappie hot beds this time of year, and scattered reports have crappie biting on both lakes. As featured a few weeks ago in this very column, Lake Nimrod continues to be one of the hottest lakes in the state.
The anglers fishing Lake Atkins are already starting to catch some fish in shallower areas as the water temperature is on the rise and are reporting that live minnows are working best.
I have received several emails this week from anglers who have also started to catch some bass in shallower water. I heard from one angler who landed a bass well over 10 pounds on a private lake, which is a good sign the big ones are on the move and the pre-spawn bite is starting throughout the region.
Actually, if you enjoy pond fishing right now is the prime time of the year as water temperatures in these smaller bodies of water rises quicker. A few reports I received last week confirm the water is warm and the fish are certainly biting.
Bass tournament action is also kicking into full swing with tournaments on Greers Ferry, Lake Ouachita and Lake Dardanelle every weekend. If you are a tournament angler, this is one of the most exciting times of the year as you can pretty much find an event on any lake in the state for the next three months.
Lake Dardanelle has seen a resurgence this winter, and many local anglers feel the lake has made a tremendous comeback and this will be a great spring. I tend to agree with and believe most of them, but I will definitely reserve judgment until after the fishing season has concluded.

Hungry Girl Today: 3.21.12
Hi HG,
I know you try a bazillion products each month, but which do you eat regularly? What's in your fridge and pantry right now? Has anything new made it into your rotation? I've gotta know!
Inquisitive in Irving
Hi Inquisitive,
Yup, you're inquisitive! Here are the answers to all your Qs... One of my favorite breakfasts is an egg scramble in a mug, so I always keep Egg Beaters and wedges of Laughing Cow Light cheese in my fridge. And a recent favorite morning meal is hot oat bran. It's old-fashioned, for sure, but so easy to make and really filling. I also like to start the day with a special drink I make with FRS Low Cal Orange Concentrate.
As for lunch and dinner staples, my fridge is usually packed with bags of broccoli cole slaw, which is basically just pre-washed shredded broccoli along with some other veggie shreds. I like to toss it with diced apple (Fuji), Newman's Own Lite Low Fat Sesame Ginger Dressing, and pouched albacore tuna (packed in water) or chunks of chicken breast. Something else that goes great with broccoli cole slaw? Amy's Organic Chunky Tomato Bisque! I just stir-fry 'em together so the soup coats the veggies like a sauce. Then I season it up and sprinkle it with some reduced-fat Parmesan-style grated topping. It's a great pasta swap!
Other stuff I usually have on hand these days? Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Breeze, VitaTops, spaghetti squash, grapes, oranges, sugar snap peas, sliced turkey breast, Corazonas Oatmeal Squares, jerky, Mini Babybel Light cheese, and light string cheese.
Now you've got the inside scoop (and perhaps some new snack and meal ideas). Enjoy!
Hiya Hungry Girl,
I've gotten great ideas from you for salad dressings and dressing alternatives. Now I need ideas for the salads themselves! Any unique ideas to help me mix it up a bit?
Shake Up My Salad
Hi Shake Up,
It's great to change things up with your salad routine so you don't get bored. And I've got lots of ideas!
Think Outside the... Lettuce - Try fresh veggies other than lettuce, spinach, and the usual suspects. I love grape tomatoes, chopped jicama, and scallions. Fresh fruit -- like chopped apples, blueberries, and grapes -- is great too.
Choose Convenient and Flavor-Packed Add-Ins - Canned and jarred fruits and veggies are fantastic for salads. Try mandarin orange segments (in juice), pouched sun-dried tomatoes (or packed in oil, then drained and rinsed), roasted red peppers (packed in water), sliced beets, hearts of palm, corn, artichoke hearts (packed in water), and sliced water chestnuts... just not all in one salad!
Play with Protein - Get creative with the protein you add to your salad. Grilled chicken is always great, but also try pouched seasoned tuna (StarKist Tuna Creations rock!), cut-up veggie burgers, canned beans like chickpeas or black beans (rinse 'em), and imitation crab.
Crunch It Up - Crunchy stuff ROCKS -- but not the greasy, fried items that typically top off restaurant salads. Instead, try some Fiber One Original (the slightly sweet cereal twigs are great on Chinese chicken salads), All Natural Almond Accents (don't overdo it there!), and crushed-up baked tortilla chips. You can even crush up some unexpected chips, like Barbeque Popchips for a Southwestern-style salad. YUM!!!
For some full-on recipes for fun salads, click here, here, and here. And definitely check out the "BIG Salads" chapter of Hungry Girl 300 Under 300. P.S. In case any of you are still looking for low-cal dressing ideas, click here. So much great info! Hope you're feeling inspired to make an awesome salad. You can guess what I'm having for lunch...

Family chases down drunk driver in Wadena
A man, his pregnant wife and their three children were nearly hit head-on by an alleged drunk driver, and ended up turning their vehicle around to follow him, contacting police via 911 and witnessing the man being arrested for DWI in Wadena.
Jason Dykhoff, his wife Kelly and their three children ages 3, 5 and 10 were southbound on U.S. Highway 71 about four miles north of Hewitt on Feb. 8 when an approaching vehicle veered into their lane. Jason steered the family vehicle onto the shoulder and nearly into the ditch and still narrowly avoided being hit by the car. Anticipating a jolt, he warned his family: "Hang on. This could hurt."
Kelly, who was 29 weeks pregnant, began having contractions. Still, Jason spun the family vehicle around and started a pursuit of the offending vehicle.
Jason said he never hesitated in following the allegedly drunk driver, despite the danger.
"He put my family at stake," Jason said. "He could have killed all of us."
The Dykhoffs estimated the suspect vehicle nearly collided at least 10 different times with oncoming vehicles along U.S. Highway 71, including two semis.
At one point, the Dykhoffs believe the driver noticed the family following him, and he made several quick turns onto side streets of Wadena to lose them, but the Dykhoffs were on the phone with police and they continued to tail him until police caught up and pulled the man over.
Jason said he was thinking to himself, "I'm not going to let him get away with this."
The suspect, Patrick James Foster, 49, of Wadena, allegedly blew 0.16 on a Breathalyzer test, double the legal limit in Minnesota. His license had been canceled in Minnesota due to traffic violations and two previous DWIs. He was charged Feb. 10 with gross-misdemeanor DUI, DWI and driving after cancellation counts.
Jason said during the 7-8 mile pursuit, his wife's contractions turned out to be false labor due to the stress of the incident. She's due to have the child in mid-April.
Do call, don't endanger
Wadena Police Chief Bruce Uselman said the proliferation of cell phones has, on balance, been good for law enforcement. But he warned people not to take risks when they witness a crime.
"We encourage people to call 911 from their cell phones, but not to endanger themselves or anyone else," he said.
Uselman said people who are willing to report crimes, and especially suspicious drivers, have led to better enforcement of the law.
"They're our eyes and ears," he said. "It's that instant information -- the dispatcher can now get a play-by-play."

One of the hundred most influential books published since World War II, according to The Times Literary Supplement, E.F. Schumacher's internationally known Small Is Beautiful: A Study of Economics As If People Mattered has informed thinking on Western economies since 1973.
The German-born economist and statistician was more than just a numbers guy — he was an environmental champion. In Small Is Beautiful, he argued that technological production shouldn't mean damaging our finite natural capital and thus ruining it for future generations. "Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent," he said. "It takes a touch of genius — and a lot of courage — to move in the opposite direction."

SANTA CLARA — To help launch their 2012 season's Super Bowl run, the 49ers lured a veteran wide receiver out of a one-year hiatus. Can Brandon Lloyd be this year's version of Randy Moss, with all due respect to their differing talents, personalities and accomplishments?
Lloyd signed a one-year contract Tuesday with the 49ers, who drafted him in 2003 and traded him away after three seasons.
Lloyd, who turns 33 on July 5, will look to bolster a unit featuring Anquan Boldin and Michael Crabtree as starters. In 2012, Moss returned to the NFL and delivered mixed results, producing 28 receptions for 434 yards and four touchdowns, but also proclaiming before the Super Bowl that he was the best receiver of all-time.
A fourth-round pick out of Illinois, Lloyd played three seasons with the 49ers before setting off on a nomadic path: the Washington Redskins (2006-07), Chicago Bears (2008), Denver Broncos (2009-11), St. Louis Rams (2011) and New England Patriots (2012). His best season came in 2010 when he led the league in receiving yards (1,448) and ranked fourth in receiving touchdowns (11).
Lloyd (6-foot, 200 pounds) was a productive target for Tom Brady in 2012, with 74 receptions for 911 yards and four touchdowns in the regular season, as well as 12 catches for 102 yards and a touchdown in two playoff games. The Patriots released him in March 2013, rather than pay him a $3 million roster bonus.
Lloyd's addition likely won't diminish the 49ers' pressing need to address the wideout position in the draft with at least one of their 11 picks. Also part of that receiving corps is Quinton Patton, Kassim Osgood, Jon Baldwin, Chuck Jacobs, David Reed, DeMarco Sampson and Devon Wylie.


text: This completely ignores many other intricacies of applying law, like statutes of limitation and the fact that states very often refuse to enforce the laws of other states when they disagree with them. To suggest that the Federation would actively rely on an old Romulan charge that was never made, and possibly never even existed, in order to evict an entire planet without any attempt at discussion is plainly absurd. Yes, you've mentioned this before. You continue to ignore the fact that the Baku possession of the Briar patch planet very clearly *does* meet your time requirements, and you yet again refuse to name any other requirement for adverse possession which they supposedly do not meet. Whether Cestus III meets those time requirements, I couldn't say. I don't recall if the episode specified how old the colony was. I am reading the transcript right now. Here's the descriptions I find of the Baku history: "[FONT=Arial][SIZE=2]We came here from a solar system on the verge of self-annihilation, ...where technology had created weapons that threatened to destroy all life. A small group of us set off to find a new home, ...a home that would be isolated from the threats of other worlds. ...That was three hundred and nine years ago." Talking about the benefits of isolation, but no mention of hiding. "[/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Arial][SIZE=2][FONT=Arial][SIZE=2]We've always known that to survive, we had to remain apart. It hasn't been easy. Many of the young people want to know more about the offland. ...They're attracted to stories of a faster pace of life.[/SIZE][/FONT]" [/SIZE][/FONT]More about isolation, still nothing about hiding. And that's it. What do you know? The film does not, in fact, say anything about the Baku hiding. [FONT=Arial][SIZE=2][FONT=Arial][SIZE=2] This is also the only reference at all to the Federation's knowledge of the Baku's origins, making his original disregard (before the discovery of their level of knowledge) for the Prime directive still pretty inexcusable, since the prime directive is about prewarp civilizations, not just prewarp civilizations that still exist on their original homeworld. Something which someone clearly seemed to agree with, considering the Federation efforts at keeping their existence a secret from the Baku. Actually, Picard said the planet is in Federation Space, and Dougherty said 'We have the planet', a fairly ambiguous statement in the context of the film, after which Picard tried a few other tacks of argument before plainly stating: "We are betraying the principles upon which the Federation was founded."[/SIZE][/FONT] And no one at any point mentioned anything about how the Briar Patch supposedly became Federation space, nor did anything to refute the Baku's statement to have been living on the planet for 309 years: longer than the Federation has existed. If there are any trespassers in this scenario, it's the Federation. Dougherty claimed they would 'help' billions. In the process of covering his own ass. His main concern is the particles ability to 'double lifespans', which means your whole song and dance about the great medical benefits is also not in the film. So the Federation is violating its principles solely for the benefit of living a little longer, despite the fact that they already benefit from more or less the maximum natural human lifespan. According to Dougherty, whose word is the only source of a whole lot of the arguments you're making. He's also the only one who claims the Federation government has any real knowledge of the operation, but he still seems awfully uncertain of that same government's reaction if the Enterprise manages to get a message through. And you continue to avoid answering any inconvenient questions. I noticed your post contains no source for your repeatedly claimed 'fact' that the planet belonged to the Klingons and the Romulans before the Federation lol. You must really hate eminent domain.[/QUOTE] Pretty much. I'm well aware there are other opinions. And considering my stated opinion, it should be obvious that I think you have the right to believe in whatever sort of morality you want. I clearly do not agree. Considering the actual description of how Dougherty is going to 'help' billions, this argument has no relevance to this discussion. No, it doesn't. This is the epitomy of just making up your own facts to avoid answering the actual question. Space is huge and there is no reason whatsoever to believe that every single piece of it is already claimed by some 'great power'. Which means the planet was entirely unattached when the Baku arrived, making their claim to the planet very clearly superior to the Federation's. In light of the fact that you have clearly misrepresented a lot of those 'facts' throughout this discussion, I'd suggest you take your own advice and rewatch/reread the film before continuing the discussion.

BERLIN – An Ocean City man serving a 10-year sentence for a manslaughter conviction in the baseball-bat beating death of another local man in May 2008 had his appeal for a new trial, or at least a reconsideration of his sentence, heard last week by the state's Court of Special Appeals, as a sort of test case or teaching tool for students and faculty at the University of Maryland's School of Law.
In November 2008, a Worcester County jury found Dominic Canale, now 23, of Ocean City, guilty of manslaughter in the death of Michael Harry Mitchell at a post-graduation party on May 29, 2008 in Berlin that went terribly wrong. In January 2009, Canale was sentenced to 10 years for the manslaughter charge, but quickly filed for a reconsideration of the sentence at the Circuit Court level, citing a variety of perceived reversible errors during his trial.
When the motion for reconsideration of sentence was denied at the trial court level, Canale filed an appeal with the state's Court of Special Appeals, seeking a new trial at the Circuit Court level, or in the alternative, a new sentencing hearing. Nearly a year later, Canale's appeal was heard last Wednesday by the three-judge Court of Special Appeals panel in the University of Maryland School of Law Ceremonial Courtroom.
Canale's appeal was one of five cases heard on Wednesday in the law school's ceremonial courtroom, used from time to time by the Court of Special Appeals as a means to show students and faculty the appeal process first hand with actual cases. While Canale's appeal was heard outside the confines of the Court of Special Appeals' usual courtrooms, any pending decision by the high court on the case will be binding.
The three-judge panel reviewed briefs submitted by both sides and listened to oral arguments, but did not render an opinion on Canale's appeal that day. Typically, there is a lag time of several weeks between oral arguments and a formal opinion. Ironically, one of the other cases heard at the law school last Wednesday was also a Worcester County case. Kendall Northam, convicted of second-degree murder in the beating death of a Pocomoke woman, also had his appeal heard last Wednesday.
Canale's appeal is based on a variety of issues considered ripe for reversal during the trial at the Circuit Court level. For example, Canale's appeal, prepared by state public defender Geraldine Sweeney, asserts the trial court erred by allowing testimony about Canale's statements regarding the baseball bat in the trunk of his friend's car hours before the fateful incident.
Canale's allegedly found the bat in Fernando Musiani's trunk in an Ocean City convenience store hours before the fatal altercation, handled it and allegedly said, "Man, this could really hurt someone." Musiani was also charged in Mitchell's death, but entered a plea bargain in exchange for agreeing to testify during Canale's trial, during which he told the jury about the defendant's statement about the bat.
In his appeal, Canale argued allowing Musiani's testimony on what he said about the bat hours before the incident prejudiced the jury by painting him as potentially violent person.
"The introduction of Mr. Musiani's testimony carried the very real risk that it would cause the jury to view Canale as being violent, or view him as a bad man," the appeal reads. "The admission of this evidence could only serve to arouse the prejudice of the jury against Canale by allowing them to draw the improper inference that Canale is prone to and thinks about hurting others and that he, therefore, caused Mr. Mitchell's death."
However, the state argued in its formal answer to the appeal, which was prepared and argued by the state Attorney General's office, Musiani's testimony about Canale's comments about the bat were relevant during the Circuit Court trial.
"The testimony was relevant to Canale's state of mind at the time of the charged offenses, and made it more probable that Canale acted with intent to harm rather than solely in self defense," the answer reads. "The testimony about the bat was relevant because it helped the jury evaluate the state's theory of the case and the defense theory of the case and to decide which was more credible."
When Canale was convicted of manslaughter in November 2008, a pre-sentence investigation (PSI) was ordered before Circuit Court Judge Theodore Eschenberg sentenced him to 10 years. However, Canale's appeal to the Court of Special Appeals asserts the PSI contained inaccurate information from the original statement of charges that might have biased the judge and caused him to mete out the maximum sentence in the case.
From the beginning, there were veiled hints of a cover-up in the case and a handful of the witnesses were actually charged with obstruction of justice. Canale's appeal asserts some of that inaccurate information was included in the erroneous PSI, which may have contributed to judge's decision to sentence Canale to the maximum.
"Mr. Canale's right to a fair and accurate pre-sentence investigation was violated, and the use of the erroneous PSI at sentencing constituted an impermissible consideration that requires vacating his sentence," the appeal reads.
The appeal also asserts the Maryland Sentencing Guidelines suggested a sentence of one to six years in the case, or considerably lower than the maximum handed down by the judge. The appeal also asserts the PSI conducted by a special investigator swayed the judge to hand down the maximum sentence.
"The conclusion that Judge Eschenberg was influenced by the sentencing recommendation in the PSI is inescapable," the appeal reads. "Judge Eschenberg adopted the precise recommendation in the PSI and gave Mr. Canale the maximum sentence of 10 years, far above the range recommended by the guidelines. Such a harsh sentence is highly unusual."
However, the state's answer argues the prosecutors asked for the maximum 10 years, as did several friends and family members who testified at the sentencing hearing. In addition, Eschenberg presided over the trial and was obviously familiar with the facts of the case.
In short, the state argued the judge based his decision on a wide variety of factors and not solely on the findings of the PSI. In addition, the state argued Canale's defense attorney had ample opportunity to object to the allegedly erroneous PSI before the sentence was handed down.
"Canale did not object at sentencing to the trial court's consideration of the pre-sentencing investigation report," the answer reads. "Defense counsel addressed the PSI at sentencing, but did not indicate that is was inaccurate. Thus, because he did not object at sentencing, he waived this claim."
Finally, Canale's appeal asserts the trial court erred by denying his motion to strike two potential jurors because of their prior knowledge of the case. One of the potential jurors said she first heard about the case at her car mechanic's shop, that she had read about the case in the newspaper and that there had been some discussion about the case at her church.
When asked during jury selection if she could put aside what she knew about the case and decide impartially on the facts presented, she allegedly hesitated before saying, "okay, I'll say yes." Another potential juror said his wife worked as a nurse at the hospital where the victim was treated and that he had multiple connections through his family to people involved in the case.
The two jurors were not put on the jury, but Canale argued in his appeal he had to use two of his 20 peremptory strikes on the two, essentially limiting his number of automatic disqualifications to 18, which is reason enough to reverse the outcome and remand the case for a new trial. However, the state argued Canale and his attorney did not object to the final jury and had ample time before trial to change it.
"Canale argues that the trial court erred in denying his motions to strike two prospective jurors for cause," the answer reads. "Canale failed to preserve this issue because he indicated satisfaction with the jury at the end of the jury selection process."

New Deslorelin Formula Improves Pregnancy Rates (AAEP 2011)
- Feb 8, 2012
- Topics:
A 1.8-mg dose of the deslorelin acetate formulation was safe and effective in inducing ovulation in mares and pregnancy rates for treated mares were similar to those of untreated controls.

The goal in a horse breeding program is to maximize pregnancy rates by breeding mares only once per cycle. Because this is easier said than done, veterinarians employ a little help in a product called deslorelin acetate, which induces ovulation at (or near) the time of breeding. Recently the drug became available in the United States in a slow-release formula, so veterinarians have been determining optimal dosing and timing.
"Implantable formulations of … deslorelin acetate, which mimics the action of a natural ovulation-inducing hormone called gonadotropin-releasing hormone, which are not currently available in the United States, were shown to prolong the interval between ovulation in treated mares," relayed Edward Squires, MS, PhD, Dipl. ACT, executive director of the University of Kentucky's Gluck Equine Research Foundation. Squires presented material on the new commercially available FDA-approved deslorelin acetate formulation at the 2011 American Association of the Equine Practitioners convention, held Nov. 18-22 in San Antonio, Texas.
In the new formulation (SucroMate) deslorelin acetate is suspended in a sucrose (sugar) solution. To better pinpoint the most efficacious dose of this product for inducing ovulation, Squires and colleague Barry Simon, DVM, administered various doses to research mares and an additional 191 broodmares residing on farms in Australia, Ireland, and the United States. Squires' and Simon's key findings included:
- A single dose of 1.8 mg/kg deslorelin acetate induced ovulation in 90% of the research mares (that were in estrus and each had a pre-ovulatory egg-containing follicle measuring 30-40 mm on an ovary), a percentage that was markedly higher than with lower doses of the drug;
- A single dose of 1.8 mg/kg deslorelin acetate induced ovulation in 77% of the additional 191 broodmares;
- When comparing treated and untreated broodmares (in a control group of 97), there was no difference in the interovulatory interval (the number of days between ovulation);
- Pregnancy rates did not differ among treated and untreated broodmares; and
- All foals born to treated and untreated broodmares were considered normal.
Together, these data show that a 1.8-mg/kg dose of this product was safe and effective in inducing ovulation in mares and pregnancy rates for treated mares were similar to those of untreated controls.

Three speakers Tuesday asked the Sarasota County Commission to abide by a judge's ruling Nov. 21 that struck down the language of a proposed term limits charter amendment. Yet, none of the commissioners responded.
Following the public comments, Chairwoman Nora Patterson told the audience in the Think Tank at the County Administration Building that the commission and its guests, the members of the City Commission, would move on to the next item on their agenda, effectively letting the charter amendment matter die.
Senior Judge Jack Schoonover Nov. 21, declared "very deficient" the language the County Commission approved last week for the proposed county charter amendment. The judge agreed with Sarasota attorney Andrea Mogensen, who argued on behalf of 16 citizens who filed a lawsuit against the county, Sarasota County Supervisor of Elections Supervisor Kathy Dent and Frank and Dorothy Moore. The Moores had challenged the county in a 2004 lawsuit over term limits.
"I would not approve that under any circumstances," Schoonover said of the ballot's wording.
In his decision in a 12th Circuit Court emergency hearing on the citizens lawsuit, Schoonover also ruled that the 2005 decision in Moore v. Sarasota County "should not be ignored," leaving intact, for the time being, the unconstitutionality of Sarasota County Commission term limits.
Because the county already has indicated it also will argue the constitutionality of term limits, Mogensen said, it should just be a matter of time before a hearing can be set up on that part of the lawsuit.
At the outset of the Nov. 21 hearing, attorneys clarified for the judge that the Florida Supreme Court has not decided yet whether to hear a Fourth Circuit Court of Appeal case, Snipes v. Telli, in which it ruled that term limits are constitutional for county commissioners in Broward County. The Fourth Circuit decision came down in August.
Patterson said Tuesday morning that she doubted the term-limit matter would come up at the joint session that afternoon between the city and county commissions. "It's going to be up to the individual commissioners," she said.
Following the emergency hearing Monday, County Attorney Stephen DeMarsh said the County Commission could address the ballot language Tuesday, because the board would be meeting with the City Commission.
Dent said Monday afternoon that she would have to have any new ballot language by the end of office hours Tuesday, if the measure still were to go on the Jan. 31 ballot.
Ron Labasky, the attorney representing Dent in the lawsuit, told Schoonover that Nov. 22 was the absolute deadline for a decision on the ballot language. The ballots are printed in the state of Washington, Labasky said, and they have to be shipped to Sarasota County.
"It's not standard stock. You can't go to Kinko's and (print them)," he said.
After the hearing, Dent said that she is bound by law to test the ballots on the voting equipment and to ship them by Dec. 16 to military personnel overseas.
"The county was on notice we needed that amount of time," she said, to get the ballots prepared.
Mogensen then had said any new ballot language "would be critical to deciding" what further action her clients might take. Coming up with language appropriate for the charter amendment, she said, "is going to be extraordinarily difficult."
Mogensen had cited legal precedents in arguing that ballot language has to be clear to voters. The language the County Commission approved last week included the sentence, "These term limits would be enforceable if a court's ruling results in Sarasota County Commissioner term limits being found constitutional." Mogensen told the judge that voters would be confused, because they would not know when or if the term limits would be found constitutional in a future court case.
In arguing against the proposed ballot language, Mogensen cited a 2010 Florida Supreme Court opinion regarding the necessity that voters understand clearly any ballot language upon which they are asked to vote. Moreover, Mogensen said, a 1982 Florida Supreme Court case "indicates the ballot must give the voter clear notice of the decision he must make."
Because the proposed Jan. 31 ballot language links the action to a court decision on the constitutionality of term limits, Mogensen said, voters would have no way of knowing the result of their action.
"If the voters cannot tell what the actual, practical sweeping effect (of their action is)," she said, "then (the ballot language) should be stricken."
She added, "There are too many contingencies to allow for the voters to be informed" about the scope of their action.
Deputy Sarasota County Attorney Rick Elbrecht told Schoonover that the County Commission had felt the language about the constitutional issue was necessary.
"We just put in a provision … that it is dependent on a future decision." Otherwise, he said, "Voters may think (the amendment) is gong to take effect immediately."
Schoonover also questioned Mogensen about the fact that citizens were being asked to vote on the charter amendment on the same day as Florida's Republican Presidential Primary. "That is one of the areas of concern," she replied.
Elbrecht told Schoonover that the County Commission had chosen the Jan. 31 date because the cost of a special election with just the charter amendment on the ballot would be about $500,000, compared to $120,000 for combining that vote with the primary.
"So what?" the judge responded.
Earlier, Schoonover had expressed skepticism that registered Democrats in the county would turn out in significant numbers to vote on the charter amendment.
At the conclusion of the 50-minute hearing, Schoonover told the attorneys, "I appreciate the good faith and professionalism of everyone involved."

It's one of the great stage names in rock — [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Joe Strummer[/lastfm]. The man to which it was attached led a fascinating life.
John Mellor's father was a British bureaucrat whose postings took him to Iran and various cities in Africa, all of which his son visited during school vacations. After taking up the guitar, John became a fan of folk singer [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Woody Guthrie[/lastfm], which led him to call himself Woody Mellor for a while.
After following a girlfriend to Wales, he was invited to join his first band because he happened to have a drum kit, but his day job was as a grave-digger. After returning home to London, he joined a band called the 101ers. It's at this point he adopted the name Joe Strummer.
With the 101ers, Strummer attracted the attention of a band called the London SS, featuring guys named [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Mick Jones[/lastfm], [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Paul Simonon[/lastfm], and [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Keith Levene[/lastfm]. In April 1976, the 101ers played on a bill with the [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Sex Pistols[/lastfm] at a London club, and Strummer was invited to join the London SS. Once the band acquired a drummer, [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Topper Headon[/lastfm], it got a new name – [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]the Clash[/lastfm] — and played its first show on July 4, 1976.
Over the next decade, the Clash recorded six albums, claiming the nickname The Only Band That Matters. After the band's breakup, Strummer scored movies and acted in a few, and continued to write and record. He formed [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]the Mescaleros[/lastfm] in 1995. But on December 22, 2002, Strummer died suddenly at age 50 due to an undiagnosed heart problem. At his funeral, two stickers appeared on his casket. One read, "Question Authority"; the other, "Vinyl Rules."
Here's the Clash in a 1981 TV interview, which Tom Snyder has a little trouble getting answers to his questions and maintaining decorum.

BlackBerry Swipes at Android Security

In response to Google I/O announcements, BlackBerry criticizes Android's lack of security. On point, or sour grapes?
In response to Google I/O announcements, BlackBerry criticizes Android's lack of security. On point, or sour grapes?
BlackBerry CEO John Chen took a swipe at Google this week, suggesting the Android-maker's new security push is too little, too late. In today's world of BYOD, Chen says businesses need to prioritize security from the start, not add it after the fact.
Android For Work will be built into Android Release L, and will also be available separately for earlier versions of Android going back to Ice Cream Sandwich. Google is relying a bit on the hard work done by Samsung to entice businesses by adopting portions of Samsung's Knox security platform. With Android For Work, businesses can separate work data from personal data through containerization. The segregated data can be managed from the IT admin console and locked, wiped, or restored as needed without touching the owner's personal information.
Android For Work also allows for the bulk installation of apps to an entire fleet of devices. According to Google, companies won't have to modify their apps to function within the Android For Work environment.
It's a big step forward for Android, one that should make it more attractive to businesses. In a blog post, BlackBerry's Chen contends Google's efforts are a good first step, but are only the start.
"At Google's I/O developer conference, the company said it would do several things to boost Android's security. Most prominently, this includes separating work and personal apps and data in coming versions of Android by leveraging Samsung's Knox containerization technology," said Chen. "I'm delighted by this first step. The need to improve Android's security was clear. And it validates what we at BlackBerry have been saying all along about the potential perils that businesses face in the BYOD era."
As Chen points out, however, Knox's success can be described as limited at best. Fewer than 2 million Samsung devices are actually running Knox. To put that in some perspective, Samsung sells between 75 million and 90 million smartphones per quarter.

(Beacham's Guide to Literature for Young Adults)
This story overflows with vivid descriptions of the country McCandless traversed, and a reader can easily trace his peregrinations by pencil on an atlas of the continental United States, although some smaller or more obscure place names may prove elusive and tricky. This account also travels back and forth through time as Krakauer includes sharp descriptions of the forbidding Alaskan terrain that McCandless battled in his doomed bid to survive and the ice-locked mountainside that nearly claimed Krakauer himself as a young man. These Alaskan depictions are especially graphic, striking, and thrilling—probably because this land and the bus that became his home on the Stampede Trail constitute the cold and mysterious heart of Krakauer's haunting narrative.
Descriptions of Chris's middle-class upbringing are full of references to a bustling blended family and the kind of high school and university activities that many young people will find comfortably familiar. He was always a precocious little boy with a gift for making money, competing athletically, and excelling at just about anything he attempted. His parents had come from humble backgrounds and grew affluent as they raised their family in a comfortable Virginia suburb. This picture of middle-class comfort contrasts sharply with one story about a teenaged Chris dragging a friend into a destitute Washington, D.C. neighborhood, armed with good intentions and a bag of hamburgers for the homeless. More starkly different yet are the descriptions of his largely bohemian lifestyle on the road.
His ill-fated journey began in the Mojave desert where,...

You've certainly heard about about how fast 4G LTE speed is, but how do different carriers perform when stacked against each other?
RootMetrics has the answers. The Seattle company, which gathers information on mobile technology and communication, released its latest industry-wide study on mobile carriers and their data performance Tuesday. The company performed nearly 500,000 tests within 75 markets and found that Verizon leads the way in terms of overall performance.
The data analyzed six carriers: Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile, Sprint, MetroPCS and Cricket. Each was sorted along four evaluation points: average speed, download speed intervals, within market performance and data reliability.
While Verizon and its expansive LTE network performed the best, AT&T was close behind with its continued roll-out of LTE coverage. Despite not having the LTE technology, T-Mobile still performed well with its HSPA+42 network. Meanwhile, Sprint did not impress, but the carrier is on the verge of rolling out its first LTE markets. MetroPCS and Cricket, not surprisingly, did poorly.
Here's a summary of their findings:
Average speed: With its huge LTE infrastructure, Verizon earned the top spot in terms of average download and upload speeds. Verizon's average of 13 Mbps was substantially ahead of second-place AT&T, which averaged just over 7 Mbps. Cricket, MetroPCS and Sprint ranked at the bottom.
Download speed intervals: Speed intervals provide information on how consistent each carrier delivered fast download speeds. Again, Verizon came in first place for the fastest speeds and also for avoiding slow speeds. Verizon had 77.4-percent of its download tests at speeds above 5 Mbps with just 11.6-percent of downloads below 1.5 Mbps. T-Mobile and its HSPA+42 network came in third for download speed intervals. "Their HSPA+42 network proved a major story of our first-half testing," wrote RootMetrics' Patrick Linder.
Within market performance: This part of the study aimed to find out if carriers were consistent in their performances from market to market. Verizon led the way in this category as well. "They're fast," wrote Linder. AT&T reached faster speeds in their top markets than T-Mobile.
Data reliability: In terms of each carrier's average data failure rate, AT&T and Verizon finished with the fewest disruptions with failure rates at or below 3-percent. T-Mobile faired a little worse at an average failure rate of 8-percent.

In college, I often dreamed of tsunamis. The waves were enormously high and transported me far inland but were amazingly gentle behemoths that if I did not fight against, eventually landed me upon the shore without any damage. The tsunami that struck Sir Lanka the day after Christmas 2004 was nothing like these, but was instead brutal, fierce, and deadly.
Imagine losing your husband, two sons, and both parents on the same day. This unbelievable tragedy happened to this British economist. The memoir starts quietly with her description of a typical morning at a beach resort in Southern Sri Lanka that her family had been visiting since her childhood. Sonali knew all the hotel staff and park rangers; the place meant home to her and her family. Ironically, the family was packing to go home later that day.
As her children are dressing, she speaks to a close friend who has accompanied them on their holiday outing. Suddenly, both women notice an unusual wave in the far distance. Sonali calls to her husband in the bathroom, but
he takes his time coming out. Soon, the friend and family are racing out of the hotel. Someone directs them toward a Jeep and they all pile in--a child on each of their laps. A moment later, they are struck by a huge force, so powerful that Sonali doesn't suspect that it's a wave. Her boy is ripped out of her arms.
Thus begins Wave, Deraniyagala's memoir of her journey into grief: the drinking, the pills, the haunting of her family's former home in Colombo. For years, Sonali refuses to tell any stranger what happened to her, or why she no longer has a husband.
Sonali's tale is tense and powerful. It reads more like a novel than a memoir yet in it, Sonali's message is clear: live in the moment, enjoy what happiness you have because it can be fleeting.
For a book about another tsunami by one of my favorite nonfiction and nature writers, try Gretel Ehrlich's Facing the Wave : a Journey in the Wake of the Tsunami, a poignant account of life in Japan after the 2011 tsunami. Ehrlich brings her familiarity with Japanese culture and an eye for nature into her writing.

Dress in your best warehouse-appropriate attire and come check out what we're up to." http://www.jeremymayer.com/ http://www.nemogould.com/ http://www.hero-design.com/ http://www.almostscientific.com/ http://ctpdesign.com/ Original Post: A couple years ago I started talking about building a custom bike with my good friend, sculptor Nemo Gould. I have always considered him to be "the master of metal" as he works predominately in found aluminum material for his kinetic sculptures, creating amazing smooth transitions between curves of the original objects with exquisite welds. Here's a photo of an exhibition of his work I helped him curate and install over the summer: A number of months back, Nemo received a phone call from a motorcycle owner that he had met recently at an opening. As Nemo had previously built a "Nemomatic Scooter" out of an old honda elite, this fan of his work was wondering if he wanted to try his hand at a motorcycle. A number of conversations ensued, but the short of it was that Nemo received another phone call a little while later, saying that a 1979 Honda CX500 was parking on the side of the road here in the bay area, with radiator fluid gushing all over the place. It was Nemo's for free, if he would go collect it. As we all know, free bikes are dangerous. They are even MORE dangerous when they are the awkward step-child from Honda in the form of the much unloved CX500. Well Nemo and I have a love for the strange, and the idea of working with the CX500 powerplant was quite tantalizing, despite warnings from our friend Charlie O'Hanlon, who described ALL of the weakness of the engine to us when we first considered the project. Nemo had an ace in the hole and a very good reason for considering the CX500, as he has been long time friends with Wendell Jones, whose name many of you might recognize from some fairly extreme CX500 builds in the past. Armed with Wendell's help with additional CX500 bits and vast experience, and my help with geometries, design and general motorcycle functionality, Nemo embarked on a very new type of project for himself... Initially, we popped the old CX up on the lift to take a look at what was going wrong with the radiator. We discovered the plastic fan had torn loose from its metal fittings, allowing the plastic blades to contact the radiator, destroying both elements. This was why the bike was in our hands, and why the previous owner had offered up the bike for Nemo's experimentation. Nothing we couldn't handle, as I've been wrenching on bike since I seized my first Vespa in my teens, and Nemo is an excellent machinist. So we barreled ahead with the plans to build this into a custom bike. The challenge here was that Nemo has always made all of his work out of found objects, and I, as an architectural designer, am in the habit of designing and fabricating with the aid of computer-numerical-controlled fabrication. We knew that we didn't want to pursue either of these avenues for this project, but instead wanted to hand shape the metal. Nemo started collecting information from friends, colleagues and the interwebs in how to do this, and I took Evan Wilcox's class at the Crucible. And so it started, with us determined to build as much as we could out of aluminum sheet... EDIT: Image links due to server hiccup, now fixed.
