Truckee Court wraps up the first year of peer court this evening, April 30
TRUCKEE, Calif. and#8212; The Truckee Branch of the Superior Court of Nevada County is holding its final Peer Court meeting on Monday, April 30, at 6 p.m. At the meeting, Truckee High School Principal Dr. David Putney and Superior Court Judge Robert L. Tamietti will recognize and award all the students, instructors, volunteer attorneys, police officers, and court staff who have volunteered their time and talents to the Peer Court program this year, as well as discuss and evaluate with the participants the successes and possible improvements for next yearand#8217;s Peer Court program.
The Peer Court program is a collaboration of the Truckee Branch of the Superior Court, Nevada County-Truckee Probation Department, Truckee Police Department, and the Tahoe-Truckee Unified School District. After much planning, the program was implemented in September of 2011 as a way to divert low-level offenders out of the juvenile system and to instead hold them accountable to their peers to modify and correct their behavior.
Students charged with a minor offense, such as possessing small amounts of drugs or alcohol on campus, petty theft, or fighting on campus, may opt into Peer Court by admitting the charge, with the understanding that they will go before a jury of their student peers for the purpose of sentencing. A jury comprised of high school students and former defendants in Peer Court listens to the case and determines an appropriate sentence to help the offender get back on the right track.
Truckee High School students, under the supervision and tutelage of teacher Nik Fertitta and volunteer local attorneys, receive training about the court process so that they can serve as the prosecutor, defense counsel, bailiff, and court clerk during each Peer Court trial. Local volunteer attorneys, court staff and Truckee Police officers mentor the students through the trial process. Judge Tamietti presides as judge of the Truckee Branch Peer Court guiding all the participants through the program.
Anyone interested may join in this final celebratory meeting being held at the Truckee Branch of the Superior Court, 10075 Levon Ave., Suite 301, Truckee.
Please contact Court Operations Manager Helen Davis with any questions at 530-550-3000.

I meet my love on-line thru yahoo personals, didn't say she had to ride or make any criteria really, just stated that I enjoyed it along with other activies I listed and left it up to the reader to decide if they felt like responding given my interests. I really think that is the only workable approch, once you start making a list of requirements that pretty much ensures few responders, IMHO.
Anyway, it worked for me!
A friend of mine started dating one of her crimeys about eight months ago...he is a self-proclaimed adrenaline junky, and at the time of their meeting, was healing from an injury sustained while riding his dirt bike. She's a mom with two adult kids, and one minor kid, 17 years old, and like a lotta moms and parents, considers motorcycle riding too risky when compared against the responsibilities of parenthood, notwithstanding the adult status of two of her kids, and the nearing of age of majority of the the other. So, he continues to ride alone, but loves her, so...I reckon it didn't work out so good in this respect for him...
Oh well...balance in all things, I reckon! For me, yes, it's important that they participate in this most important of all activities with me...for my friend, not so much...
The good news is...they followed us the other day while we were riding, in his pickup truck, and she saw that we were having such a good time, that she's beginning to crack a little bit... Give it a little time!!!
It's ok to post an opinion right? It could be that many people who lurk on this forum might actually join up or join in the discussion if what they see is what they like.
If all they see is a bunch of grumpy old men shooting down new ideas, they may choose to go elsewhere.
I mean, it's not like this club needs new members, right?
The forum's declining active participant's does not need to be reversed, right?
I don't know, I've been watching this epic discussion and I'm so reminded of the opposing forces in play every time someone brings up anything on this forum that may constitute the word "new".
The "rules" provide a way to change things, the old "come back" is who's going to moderate the new forum, right? Put up or shut up. So you want a dating forum? Folow the rules...
If history repeats its self, beware because anything new can have the plug pulled twice as fast as it was created.
Good luck!
Just a thought.
My favorite color is orange, I like walks on the beach, sunsets and puppies. Favorite beverage is India Pale Ale and my favorite food is India Pale Ale.
Rides airhead with moderate enthusiasm and my chicken strips are 15/32nds
Seeks self perceived moto elitist with obsessivly maintained motorcycle and aerostich riding gear with whom to share rides, meals and stories.
Look at it this way...Would it be reasonable to expect a proposal for starting a BMW specific discussion topic area on an online dating forum being accepted?

Hey I have a good idea! Lets have a forum about dates! How many eat em and whwere the best dates are produced!
Better yet, a forum about breakfast..you know, breakfast of champions!
...nah...what was I thinking
I'll just go back to being grumpy

I have calculated my optimal portfolio weights following the mean-variance framework where I go $w_1$ in the risky asset and $1-w_1$ in the risk free rate.
I get the following result: $w_1$ = 1.5, 1-$w_1$ = -0.5
My question is, how can I interpret this? Obviously I need to short the risk-free rate and go long in the risky asset. However, if I have 100 dollars to use for my portfolio, how do I allocate this amount in practice?
Moreover, it should follow that I go long with 150 dollars and short 50, but the question is, where does this money come from? How is it possible that I get money when I go short?
One option would be to standardize the sum of the weights. Hence this is not possible as then you never will invest in the risk-free rate.

The James Moy F1 art collection captures the art of the world's greatest Motorsport. Professional F1 photographer James Moy's images bottle the scent, thrill and the glamour of Formula One for your walls.
This impressive art print captures the F1 wheel nuts, piled up at the 2014 Canadian Grand Prix. To stop the nuts working loose, the right-hand side of the car uses right-handed threads, the left-hand side of the car left-sided threads. The colours of the wheel nuts indicate to the mechanics which side of the car they are for.
Each stunning photo in this F1 Art series is printed on heavy 270gsm satin paper and professionally framed in a contemporary black brushed-aluminium frame, with conservation-grade white mount.
Framed print measures 61cmW x 49cmH and is protected with museum-grade perspex 'artscreen' instead of glass - you won't be able to tell the difference when it's hanging on your wall.
Own this F1 artwork for your wall. Combine several framed images in the collection for a high-impact display.

or the best way is to use physics classes (like box2D ....)
cause the tutorials i have read are using threading to move objects and stuff like that...
with is for big games will be really complicated...
so if you can recommend me a book or explain to me the best way for developing games in java.
thank you from advance
Haim Dor Levi

From the Mithril Knights Warriors Guild: Guardians of Middle-earth:
Posted: 07 Oct 2007 00:47
The morning of the council, Dirk sat bent over a small writing desk near the open window of his room in the Guildhouse. The scents and sounds of spring wafted in through the window, the newly-open first buds of Spring's blooms, the chirping of birds and the chattering of a pair of amorous squirrels taking turns chasing each other through the tangle of branches above.
Within the room, the only sounds were Dirk's self-regulated breathing, the coos of the caged carrier pigeon on the window sill, and scratching of quill against paper.
My dearest beloved,
It has been many months since I plumbed the depths of your eyes, since my heart danced to the music of your sweet voice. I write you now to tell you that I am well. I have been initiated into the Mithril Knights and have traveled many lands, both with them and alone. During those months, I have been through many tribulations that I will not describe here; but know that I have not been harmed permanently by any weapon. I am currently splitting my residence between the Mithril Knight Guildhouses of Esgaroth and Greenwood. Though I feel that I have tarried far too long and soon must continue upon my quest to fulfill my destiny.
Which brings me to the other reason for this letter. When I met you at the Lucky Fortune so long ago, I told you my name was Smaug's Bane. I had taken such a name in order to find my own fortune without prejudice, good or bad, due to my origins. Or so I thought.
However, fate has given it a new significance. I took the name believing that it referred to Bard, a great warrior of pure virtue who slew a dragon. But now, I realize that Smaug's Bane wasn't the man who bent the bow, but the arrow itself: a black thing that had to be released and ultimately lost forever in order to do the most good.
I have come to realize, that in order to find what it is that I am to do for Middle-earth, I cannot live in fear of losing home, family, or love. I am utterly black now, and must be released.
Recently, I fought against a terrible foe that threatened Laketown, my boyhood home. My sentimental attachment to the place nearly caused me to turn aside from my purpose, to near disaster. Therefore, I will no longer have a home, but will live wherever the road and fate take me. Likewise, I cannot bear allegiance to any one land. Hence my service will be devoted to the Mithril Knights only and therefore to the whole of Middle-earth.
Lately, I have spent many days with Drake and Derek, my foster father and brother, who would have me stay in Esgaroth and settle down. I was sorely tempted. However, such a life cannot exist for me. So, though I will continue to bear the name that he gave me in honor of the sacrifices he made in order to raise me, I must leave Drake and his sons behind and claim my true heritage without shame or regret, at least within my own heart. For safety, I will necessarily have to keep my true parentage to myself; revealing the truth of it only to those I can surely trust. But nonetheless, I am Dirk of the Dúnedain, son of the Witch-king of Angmar and Minya of the Rangers of the North. My blood is wholly Numenoréan, and it is high time I own up to that fact and all that it entails.
Over these many months, my dearest, my thoughts have trailed to better times, like when we ran through flowered meadows in Hollin in the summertime. But also, I have feared for you. I have feared losing you. I can ill afford to hold such fear. I hope you understand now why I cannot return to you.
I will always love you. I gave you a piece of my heart that night at the festival. It will always belong to you. Live your life well. Be happy. If the opportunity arises, marry and raise a family.
Perhaps fate will allow me to survive the great but tragic deeds that Glorfindel foresaw. If so, then perhaps the hooves of a black warhorse may be heard once again upon the cobbles of Ithilien's roads, in search of my beloved troubadour. But do not hold out hope. For my own heart tells me that, like Bard's black arrow, I too must be lost forever in order to do the good that is my destiny.
May Eru comfort you and bring you joy for the rest of your days,
The young Knight folded the tear-stained letter and sealed it with the crimson wax and Mithril Knights signet from inside the desk, then crossed the room, tied the letter to the pigeon's leg and released the bird, who was trained to fly by the straightest way possible to Guildhouse at Minas Tirith, where the Knights there would be able to dispatch a messenger to carry the letter across Anduin and to his beloved.
He watched the bird until it was no longer visible in the cloudless blue sky. When the tiny black speck had finally disappeared, he lowered his eyes to see a pair of sparrows building their nest. They had found a mass of bright blue and gold thread to add to the twigs, leaves and other materials that will soon hold and warm their eggs.
Dirk looked down to the breast of his tunic, where the tiny holes in the shape of an embroidered shield and bow, were already beginning to disappear. He was now completely clothed in black, save for the Mithril cloak, which he took up and slung over his shoulder as he left the room to find lunch before he went to the council that would most likely reveal where his next road will carry him.
Edited to change 'cage' to 'caged' and to capitalize one word.

thank you all in advance for any help or advice you can offer.
ok here is the situation i find myself in.
the owner brings me in to fix his jittery otari mtr-90 mkIII. well he also owns a great sounding
trident tsm-40. so we are sitting there listening to the 24 track and the system makes a strange
noise, the trident's meters slam against the right side (full scale) three or four times and a small
puff of smoke comes out of the console before he gets to the other room to shut dowm the trident.
the trident is left on 24/7
the owner nonchalantly says "yeah that was happening 8 months ago but it stopped".
all but the puff of smoke that is. he said that hadn't happened before.
the next day i come in we pull out the psu for the trident and set it up to monitor it.
when the console weirds out the +18v psu regulator overheats and it goes into thermal
shut down, like it is dead shorted. while the -18v side seems to be stable. when the reg.
cools down we can turn on the console again and it would run for a while and the same
weirdness would happen. thinking that this is is probably being caused by the power
supply decoupling caps (a lot of the modules still have old caps) we start pulling modules.
pull all routing modules,try again, same thing happens
pull all group modules, try again, same...
pull all eq modules, try again, same...
when we get to the last 30 modules input channels only, along with the monitoring.
slate/oscillator, and 2 track return section we try again and the console is stable
(he needs to record drums later that day).
so there are no eq modules, no routing modules, and no group modules
and yes i am in the process of recapping the power supply bypass caps
so i would like to ask some questions
1. what happens to op amps that are running on a dual rail psu and one rail goes down?
-18v rail is stable .......+18v shut down turns on and shuts down again a few times
2. would the fact that electrolytic caps are self healing allow us to power the console up again?
the last guy that worked on the console used a LM3886 (power amp) as a voltage regulator for
both 18v supplies, about four years ago
3. should replace this with something more suitable?
all of the tantalums on that board, and many others in this console are the same age
and the only way i have seen them explode like that is being reversed voltaged or over voltaged
that particular tantalum cap (image #4) is on the parts list but is not on the schematic and sits across the -18v rail and ground and was the smoker when the +18v rail was flapping about
top to bottom
1. exploded TL071 (have never seen this before)
2. fried TL071 (this either)
3. had replaced IC 2 and socket then during the last fiasco IC 1 fried
4. this was a tanalum cap. that is across the -18v rail and ground

Press releases are read by a wide array of people. When drafting a message, it's important to think beyond the professional media audience. Enthusiast bloggers, industry and financial analysts, employees, customers, advocates, shareholders, industry peers and potential business partners are all likely to read your press release. This means we can reasonably expect to engage numerous audiences with our message. But are our press releases up to the task?
Traditionally, the outcome we use to gauge press release success has been media pick up. The call to action embedded within most press releases is the media contact information, supplied so journalists have ready access to the PR staff in the event they need more information for a piece they're writing.
But what about everyone else? What about all those other stakeholders who are reading our messages? Are we serving them well? Helping support the buying (and other) decisions they're making?
Capitalizing on fleeting reader attention
It's safe to assume that readers of press releases assume the same behavior we see of the average web surfer. They flit from page to page, consuming what interests them, ignoring what doesn't, and following links that promise a deeper dive into the subject the reader is pursuing.
Sure, any press release worth its salt has ye olde boilerplate gracing the end of the message, in which one can usually find a URL. But let's think about this for a minute. Most of us (correctly) use a version of the inverted pyramid when writing a press release. The most interesting and important components of the message are toward the top of the press release.
It's dangerous to assume that all your readers are going to make it to the end of the message – especially if the release is a long one. A more effective strategy is to add different calls to action throughout the press release that make the most of those fleeting moments when you have the reader's attention.
Embedding multiple calls to action that appeal to different audiences
People read press releases for different reasons. In addition to covering a beat, your readers may be researching a purchase, learning more about the company before or accepting a job or evaluating marketplace players to lay the groundwork for a partnership or deal. The trick for the PR pros behind the press release is to identify which audiences are also likely to be interested, and include links for them to follow that mesh with their specific interests.
Here's an example. In talking about this very subject with a client last week, we discussed a current press release about a new type of over-the-counter drug that significantly reduces some of the side effects endemic to this particular type of medication. [For the sake of this example, let's say this is a new type of decongestant called EasyCold that is given in a standard dose for both children and adults, ending confusion over dosage.] The press release itself was data-heavy. It was designed to inform savvy journalists who have some familiarity with subject and have probably been on the healthcare beat for a while. The original release went out with the standard media contact information. However, there were other opportunities to engage consumers and other audiences with this message, including:
- Signal the availability of the data in the headline (and subhead) by using benefit statements to tell the story and attract a wide variety of readers, and adding phrasing that indicates immediately the assets available within the content.
Safe Cold Medicine for Kids and Adults: EasyCold's Standard Dose Formula Removes Risk of Inaccurate Dosing
Results of study prove standard dose is efficacious for people of all ages.
- Instead of a jargon-heavy technical lead, describe in clear and simple terms what this new drug means to consumers, and the company.
EasyCold takes the guesswork – and risks – associated with giving children the correct dosage of a cold remedy out of treating sick kids: dosage is the same for both children and adults. It's safe cold medicine for kids that also works for the rest of the family, according to a recent study of the efficacy of variable doses …
- Embed hyperlinks from keywords that will appeal to different audiences, connecting them with the specific information they're seeking. You can rely on your readers' self-interest to guide them.
EasyCold takes the guesswork – and risks – associated with giving children the correct dosage of a cold remedy out of treating sick kids: dosage is the same for both children and adults. It's safe cold medicine for kids that also works for the rest of the family, according to a recent study of the efficacy of variable doses conducted by XYZ Pharma …
In this simplistic example, the popular search term "safe cold medicine for kids" could be linked to landing page offering information (and a coupon!) for parents who are struggling with the challenge of finding cold medicine they can feel safe about using. In the next line, a link to the phrase relating to the study could link to the full study results for a journalist or professional interested in that angle of this story.
These simple links – and a few tweaks to an otherwise technical press release – will broaden the appeal of the story for both industry professionals (media and otherwise) and potential consumers – and the different media and blogs those disparate audiences consume. With just a little more effort (and no more spend) you can significantly expand the audiences for your press releases – and track the different outcomes they deliver.

Princeton formed in 2005 when twin brothers Jesse and Matt Kivel and their childhood friend Ben Usen teamed up while all three were studying abroad in London. Given that they'd left most of their instruments back home in California, they only had access to the basics: an acoustic guitar, a keyboard, a tambourine, and an egg shaker. In spite of these lean conditions, the trio managed to record enough material for a mini-album, A Case of the Emperor's Clothes, which they self-released the following year. Usen and the Kivel brothers graduated from college in 2007 and returned to the Los Angeles area, where they wrote and recorded the breezy, well-read indie pop songs that would become their second release, Bloomsbury. Inspired by the various members of London's Bloomsbury Group, the EP was released on the band's own Striking Peasant records in 2008. ~ Margaret Reges

So, another one of those belated meeting/event reports: on 2010-09-17, I was in Zurich for the first-ever FrOSCamp. It was an Open Source/Free Software event with an exhibition floor, talks, and "a fancy party with creative commons licensed beer and music"—what's not to like!
I presented my "Praktisches RDF in Perl" talk that I recycled from the German Perl Workshop, to spread the word some more. This time, I had prepared an English version, but as I only had German speakers in the audience, I presented in German.
Unfortunately my presentation only drew a handful of people this time. Note to self: work on the abstract some more. I had suspected that my FrOSCamp one was wordy and not catchy, but didn't get around to rewriting it. At least the audience were pretty engaged and asked lots of questions, which I prefer to a larger crowd that's half asleep.
The presentation was recorded and is now online as slides+audio. This was a first for me. I could forget about it while presenting, but I was pretty nervous listening to it for the first time, not sure what mess of incoherent rambling and half-finished sentences to expect. Fortunately, I found it ok in the end. Of course, I found several things to improve, but I guess that's expected for someone who doesn't present often and is just getting started. My list of the main points to improve is:
- The introduction should be much shorter and more focussed. A bit like a sales pitch, not as in being obnoxious and fake, but as in focussed on getting the audience's attention and appreciation for the topic.
- Too many sentences didn't flow properly. Simply doing one or two more dry runs should fix that.
- Have some more visualizations such as diagrams on the slides.
On the other hand, I was pleased with a few things about my presentation: the style of having little text on the slides and more verbal explanation worked well, the code samples seemed to be the right size to digest during a talk, and the questions at the end showed that people had gotten the key points.
Before my presentation, I got to see Renee Baecker's talk about Perl::Critic. I'm using it on my code and thus knew the basics, but I appreciated the advanced example towards the end, where Renee walked us through writing our own critic rules. This works via PPI, so you can find patterns in the AST that match the constructs you want to check. I also found it interesting to hear Renee's personal experience with the severity levels: he's typically on 3, sometimes 2, but 1 is too harsh.
Other than that, I was mainly hanging out at the Perl booth, a first for me! The booth was staffed by Renee and Roman from Winterthur (CH), two really nice guys whom I had a great time with, discussing everything from Perl modules to freelancing.
BTW, remember the blurb from the FrOSCamp website I quoted at the top about creative commons licensed beer? That wasn't a joke. FreeBeer is an organic beer, produced by an independent brewery near Zurich, and the recipe is online under a CC license. And it tastes great! A cloudy, full blonde just how I like it :-)

2012 was quite the year for politics, both in Maine and across America. The world we live in is economically hitting rock bottom and the path we're on reflects a lack of ambition for correcting our course. As dark of a picture as that point paints, there is hope to be found moving forward. We are where we are not because people are cold, stupid, or indifferent, but rather misled.
For years, we've been told that baby steps forward is the method for confronting the leaps backward in society. For every three jumps back, two slow movements forth is the solution of mainstream politicians. The fear is if we correct society too fast, it will upset the balance of things and throw everything into a state of chaos.
Politics is not a complicated science however. As much as television talking heads, paper crusaders, and keyboard warriors like to join forces with corrupt politicians to tell you this is the case, it is not. It's not a difficult formula that only lawyers, billionaires, and high class citizens can figure out. Everyone can comprehend it and anyone can fix it.
The mission of Undercover Porcupine, as it has been from the beginning, is to create political transparency and open discussion on topics that are considered beyond the mainstream. The aim is not to be controversial for the sake of being controversial, however, but it is sometimes an unavoidable outcome. The truth cannot be censored to avoid upsetting individuals, groups, organizations, or other entities.
As 2012 was an important moment in our Nation's history with a critical election, 2013 will be as equally important. The newly-strengthened Democratic Party will be flexing its muscle in the Legislature here in Maine, standing up to Governor Paul LePage while it holds its finger on the rewind button for an entire session. Republicans will be forced to correct what resulted in a vicious defeat and a widespread rejection by the people. While the two mainstream parties continue dueling over phantom differences in ideology, the Libertarian Party will be preparing to build upon a record showing in 2012.
Given the libertarian uprising in 2012 within the Republican Party, and the number of Libertarian Party votes over past years, it's becoming increasingly clear people are looking elsewhere for answers.
Here at Undercover Porcupine, I will attempt to capture these moments and provide libertarian-leaning perspective on the events that shape the political landscape over the next year. Here are some things to expect:
1) Maine Liberty Profiles
Everyone knows who the big hitters are in the Democratic and Republican Parties, as well as in the mainstream grassroots. How many people know about those who are leaders within the Maine Liberty Movement? The Maine Liberty Profiles will be a series of articles, each covering an individual who has and continues to lead within the movement.
2) 2013 Legislative Session
The 2012 elections saw the failure of the Republican majorities to be re-elected, as the party nationally crashed and burned. The Democrats vow to hit the ground running in their mission to undo what has been done over the previous two years. Undercover Porcupine will regularly cover major movement in the Legislature and deliver a libertarian perspective on legislation. I will specifically have a series of articles on legislators to watch and important legislation for people to become active with.
3) Maine Republican Party
The Republican Party had an interesting year and it was no different here in Maine. While with the election everything seemed to go wrong, a greater transformation is in progress. Charlie Webster, the controversial chairman who took excessive credit for a grassroots victory in 2010, saw the grassroots strike back. An ugly primary left the party shattered and leaves the new leadership to pick up the pieces. Former State Legislator Rich Cebra has taken over as State Chairman and has the difficult task of healing the divide between the many factions. Can the liberty grassroots, united by the Ron Paul presidential campaign, and the mainstream Republican Party come together in 2013?
This in addition to current events, discussion of principles, and other relevant commentary. 2013 promises to be an eventful year for Maine politics and Undercover Porcupine will be there to capture the moments as they occur.

When 33-year old Haamid Ade Zaid of Seaside was arrested in the Easter Sunday crash and aggravated assault at a Walmart store on Story Road, he was out on bail in a similar case involving a crash into the Capitol Premier Car Wash on December 16, 2012.
According to the Santa Clara County District Attorney's office, the answer to the question, why was he free to reoffend is simple. "It is how the system works, it's what the constitution guarantees. We can't hold everybody in jail awaiting their court dates, particularly on misdemeanor offenses. We'd get full pretty quickly," said James Sibley, Santa Clara County Deputy District Attorney.
Sibley says he reviewed Zaid's prior record and found mostly low-level drug offenses.
WATCH: Aftermath of Walmart's Easter Sunday Car Crash
"There's nothing that would've flagged something like this happening and frankly, given his history, if somebody had the minimum history he had and had been treated in some sort of draconian manner it would've offended people more," Sibley added, "He didn't have a significant criminal history, he was under the influence, was involved in a traffic accident, there was nothing flagging this sort of intentional, erratic behavior."
Zaid's attorney, Jeffrey Kaloustian confirmed to NBC Bay Area that his client was ordered to a substance abuse program but did not elaborate. Sibley says he didn't do the treatment, "tested dirty" and the 90-day mandatory sentence that was on hold under the voter-enacted Propostion 36 and Deferred Entry of Judgement was revoked.
PHOTOS: Driver Plows Through San Jose Walmart
Zaid was to be sentenced on April 9, nine days after the Walmart crash. He is due in court Thursday on four charges of aggravated assault, hit and run, being under the influence and resisting arrest.
"In retrospect , you say, I wish we'd had him in custody but there was no justification to hold him in," Sibley said. "The offenses just weren't serious enough."

7 Up is a brand of lemon-lime flavored, non-caffeinated soft drink. The rights to the brand are held by Dr Pepper Snapple Group in the United States, and PepsiCo (or its licensees) in the rest of the world. The U.S. version of the 7 Up logo includes a red cherry between the "7" and "Up"; this red cherry has been animated and used as a mascot for the brand as Cool Spot.
7 Up was created by Charles Leiper Grigg, who launched his St. Louis–based company The Howdy Corporation in 1920.[1] Grigg came up with the formula for a lemon-lime soft drink in 1929. The product, originally named "Bib-Label Lithiated Lemon-Lime Soda", was launched two weeks before the Wall Street Crash of 1929.[2] It contained lithium citrate, a mood-stabilizing drug, until 1950.[3] It was one of a number of patent medicine products popular in the late-19th and early-20th centuries.
Westinghouse bought 7 Up in 1969 and sold it in 1978 to Philip Morris, who then in 1986 sold it to a group led by the investment firm Hicks & Haas.[4] 7 Up merged with Dr Pepper in 1988; Cadbury Schweppes bought the combined company in 1995. The Dr Pepper Snapple Group was spun off from Cadbury Schweppes in 2008.
7 Up has been reformulated several times since its launch in 1929. In 2006, the version of the product sold in the U.S. was re-formulated so that it could be marketed as being "100% natural". This was achieved by eliminating the chelating-agent calcium disodium EDTA, and replacing sodium citrate with potassium citrate in order to reduce the beverage's sodium content.[5] This re-formulation contains no fruit juice and, in the U.S., is sweetened with high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS). The manufacturing process used in the production of HFCS has led some public health and advocacy groups to challenge the ad campaign's "natural" claims.[6] In 2007, after the Center for Science in the Public Interest threatened to sue 7 Up, it was announced that 7 Up would stop being marketed as "100% natural". Instead, It is now promoted as having "100% Natural Flavors". The controversy does not extend to other countries, such as the United Kingdom, where HFCS is not generally used in foods, including 7 Up. In 2011, 7 Up began test-marketing a formula, called 7 Up Retro, using sugar rather than HFCS. Container labels sport the caption, "Made With Real Sugar".
There exists a myth that the 7 Up name comes from the drink having a pH over 7. That would make it neutral or alkaline on the scale; however, this is not the case, as the 7 Up pH is close to 3.79, similar to other drinks of the type.[7] The real origin of the name is unclear,[8] though Britvic claims that the name comes from the seven main ingredients in the drink,[9] while others have claimed that the number was a coded reference to the lithium contained in the original recipe, which has an atomic mass of approximately 7. It has now been said that the lithium in the original drink raised the overall ph of the drink to above ph7, dependant on how liberaly the lithium drug had been added.[10]
- 7 Up Ten
- Introduced in 2013, along with "Ten" variations for most of the major Dr. Pepper/Seven-Up brands, this contains 10 calories. It is a blend using high fructose corn syrup along with aspartame to sweeten it.[11]
- Tropical 7 Up
- Introduced in 2014 for a limited time, this is a pineapple/mango-flavored 7 Up.
- 7 Up Retro
- This 2011 formulation uses sugar rather than high-fructose corn syrup as its sweetener. Introduced on the 2011 season finale of The Apprentice, packaging in 12 oz. cans features either the 1970s disco mirrorball themed logo or the 1980s logo. It is also available in 12 oz. glass bottles with a label inspired by 7 Up's original logo.[12]
- Diet 7 Up
- This diet soda was originally introduced in 1963 as Like[13][14] (not to be confused with 7 Up's Like Cola from the 1980s), it was discontinued in 1969 due to the U.S. government ban of cyclamate sweetener. After reformulation, it was reintroduced as Diet 7 Up in 1970.[15] It was renamed Sugar Free 7 Up in 1973 then back to Diet 7 Up in 1979.[16] Diet 7 Up was reformulated and advertised as being sweetened with Splenda (sucralose); the formula has been re-tooled and listed the following ingredients: filtered carbonated water, natural flavors, citric acid, potassium citrate, potassium benzoate, aspartame, acesulfame potassium, calcium disodium EDTA.[17] The ingredients for Diet 7 Up with Splenda are: filtered carbonated water, natural flavors, citric acid, potassium citrate, potassium benzoate, calcium disodium EDTA, acesulfame potassium, sucralose.[18] The 7 Up Company claims they switched back to aspartame because they conducted a nationwide study showing that people preferred the taste with aspartame instead of with Splenda.
- Cherry 7 Up
- Introduced in 1987. [19] Cherry7 Up flavor, with these ingredients listed: Carbonated water, high fructose corn syrup, citric acid, natural and artificial flavors, potassium benzoate, red 40. One known ingredient among the "natural and artificial flavors" is apple juice. It was renamed and reformulated as Cherry 7 Up Antioxidant in January 2009. Contains 10% of U.S. daily recommended Vitamin E dosage per 8 fl oz serving (4.2% per 100 ml).[20] On November 8, 2012, Dr Pepper Snapple Group said they will pull 7Up with antioxidants off the shelves to reformulate them by 2013. They also said that its decision was not related to the lawsuit,[clarification needed] but because of consistency across the board.[21][22]
- Diet Cherry 7 Up
- Diet Cherry 7 Up has recently been re-introduced due to popular demand after having been missing due to the existence of 7 Up Plus Cherry flavor.[23] Ingredients are: filtered carbonated water and contains 2% or less of each of the following: citric acid, natural and artificial flavors, potassium benzoate (protects flavor), aspartame, potassium citrate, acesulfame potassium, red 40. Phenylketonurics: Contains phenylalanine.[24]
- Orange 7 Up
- This flavor was available for a short time in Norway during the mid-1990s. It was released at the same time as Raspberry 7 Up. It was a clear colored lemon, lime and orange flavored soft drink. It was pulled off the market after 2–3 years.[citation needed] Today 7 Up Orange can still be bought in Austria.[25] As of 2014[update], it is available in the Netherlands.[26]
- Raspberry 7 Up
- This flavor was available for a short time in Norway, Denmark (and possibly other European countries) during the late 80s. It was released at the same time as Orange 7 Up. It was a clear colored lemon, lime and raspberry flavoured soft-drink. It was pulled off the European market after 2–3 years, but can still be found in several Southeast Asian countries such as Singapore.
- 7 Up Free
- 7 Up Free is sold in the UK, Ireland, Spain, Norway, Argentina, Iceland, Finland, UAE, Uruguay, Pakistan, and the Netherlands.[27] It contains no caffeine, sugar, colorings or preservatives and is marketed as "Natural Lemon and Lime flavour" similar to the "100% natural" American version. It contains a combination of artificial sugars, and for eight years was the only variety on the Norwegian market. The lack of the usual light or zero-label is confusing to Norwegian consumers, who often buy it not knowing they are buying a product with artificial sugars.[citation needed]. In the UK, 7 Up Free has been sold in a 600ml, rather than 500ml bottle since early 2010. This is part of 7-Up's UK manufacturer Britvic's healthy living push whereby sugar free product versions are sold in a larger bottle.
- 7 Up Light
- In International markets, Pepsico sells 7 Up Light as the diet version of 7 Up.
- 7 Up Lime
- 7 Up Lime is sold in the U.S. and in Argentina. In the U.S. it is not as strong and is less carbonated. In Argentina it is much more carbonated and is 5% lime juice.
- 7 Up Cherry
- 7 Up Cherry is a variant currently available in the UK. It is a different drink from Cherry 7 Up and uses a different recipe.

Barbecue sauces and marinades
In 2007, Cadbury Schweppes entered into a licensing partnership with Vita Food Products to produce a line of barbecue sauces and marinades flavored with Dr Pepper, 7 Up and A&W Root Beer.[28]
- 7 Up Gold
- 7 Up Gold was marketed for a short time in 1988 as a spice-flavored beverage, similar to Vernor's Ginger Ale. Even though 7 Up's marketing slogan at that time was Never Had It, Never Will (referring to caffeine), 7 Up Gold did list caffeine as one of its ingredients. It was introduced by 7 Up in the hopes of capturing 1% of the cola market. However, it only captured one-tenth of one percent of the cola market apparently because people were confused by 7 Up marketing a soft drink with caffeine, and therefore it was discontinued. The 7 Up Gold recipe was actually an unused Dr Pepper invention.[29]
- 7 Up Ice Cola
- Introduced in 1995 by Pepsi for the International market. It was a clear cola. It was not as popular as hoped and was discontinued.[citation needed]
- dnL / 7 Upside Down
- dnL was the name of a soft drink produced by Cadbury Schweppes Americas Beverages in the United States. It was part of the 7 Up family of soft drinks, and was introduced in September 2002. It was launched in the same year as other attempts to extend soft drink brand names with new variations, including Pepsi Blue, Dr Pepper Red Fusion and Vanilla Coke. It was arguably poorly marketed, and, while it remained listed as an official product of the company in late 2005, it was scheduled to be discontinued for 2006 in favor of the "7 Up Plus" brand.[30]
- The product's name came from the fact that the "dnL" logo is the "7 Up" logo turned upside-down. The product itself was also, in many ways, the opposite of 7 Up: while 7 Up is caffeine-free, colorless, and comes in a green bottle, dnL contained caffeine and was an unusual shade of green (vaguely similar to the green of 7 Up's bottle) in a clear bottle. And while 7 Up has a fairly standard lemon-lime flavor, the "citrus" flavor of dnL is that of lime-lemon, (primarily lime flavored with a hint of lemon).[31]
- 7 Up Citrus Splash
- Available in Canada from Pepsico, citrus and lemon-lime.[32]
- 7 Up Lemon Squeeze
- Available in Canada from Pepsico.. Similar to Sierra Mist Lemon Squeeze.[33]
- 7 Up Tropical
- Available in France from Pepsico.
- 7 Up Tropical Splash
- Available in Canada from Pepsico in the early 2000s.[34]
- 7 Up Plus
- 7 Up Plus was a family of fruit-flavored soft drinks, produced by Cadbury-Schweppes. Touted as a healthy alternative, it contained no caffeine and has 2 grams of carbohydrates per serving, as well as 5% apple juice, which is uncommon among American market carbonated beverages.[35] It is sweetened with Splenda, and the original flavor, Mixed Berry, was released in summer 2004. Two additional flavors have been added to the line: Cherry and Island Fruit. In Ireland in 2007, 7 Up launched a range of flavored water.

The television cartoon character Fido Dido was used as a mascot from the late 1980s through the early 1990s, and was re-introduced in international markets in the early 2000s.[36]
Fresh-Up Freddie was the rooster mascot for 7 Up in the 1950s. He gave viewers lessons about how to plan successful parties and picnics by having a plenty of 7 Up on hand. The commercials were produced by Disney, giving the character the specific Disney look of the time.[37] Freddie was a crossover between Panchito rooster from The Three Caballeros and zany Aracuan Bird from the same film. Fresh-Up Freddie often was dressed in human clothes. Freddie also appeared in Zorro 1957 series commercial intermissions. Here, he was put against Pete the Cat. Fresh-Up Freddie also had a minor merchandise of his own. He was voiced by Paul Frees.

The long expected merger between actor unions SAG and AFTRA is getting an extra push by both unions. On its website, SAG notes that in 2003, 57.78% of membership voted for a merger, but that wasn't enough. AFTRA makes the same claim on its website. Now, they've got a logo and a unified message to both memberships. Here is a letter that was sent to membership by SAG prexy Ken Howard and AFTRA president Roberta Reardon:
The Screen Actors Guild and AFTRA Presidents' Forum for One Union met on April 2 and 3, 2011, in New York City.
The meeting resulted in meaningful progress toward the goal of uniting SAG and AFTRA. Representatives of both unions unanimously approved draft resolutions for consideration by the unions' respective National Boards of Directors. The recommendations include a draft mission statement for the successor union and the appointment of formal groups to work on a proposed meeting schedule to develop a merger plan.
The recommendations will be presented to the National Board of Directors of Screen Actors Guild at its meeting April 30 and May 1, 2011 and to the AFTRA National Board of Directors at its meeting May 14, 2011.
The Presidents' Forum also conducted a comprehensive review of member input received at "listening tour" meetings across the country. In every location, members have expressed overwhelming support for the creation of a unified national union representing actors, recording artists, broadcasters and other media professionals. This outreach will continue, with meetings in Boston, Philadelphia, San Francisco and Washington, D.C., where Forum representatives will meet with members of AFTRA's Broadcast Steering Committee. Meetings with elected leaders from areas not yet visited are currently being planned, along with additional meetings in Los Angeles and New York.
SAG President Ken Howard noted, "Each step we take together brings us closer to our crucial goal of becoming one union, and last weekend's meeting was no exception. I look forward to sharing our work with the SAG-AFTRA Relations Task Force and, ultimately, the SAG National Board later this month."
AFTRA President Roberta Reardon observed, "I am very proud of the strong partnership and clear vision that AFTRA and SAG members are forging together through this process. We have come a very long way in a short period of time, and I applaud each and every member who has participated in this exciting and important endeavor."
The members of the Presidents' Forum for One Union are encouraged by the results of their meeting and are pleased to share this information with you. Members will continue to receive regular updates regarding the progress of our work together to build one new successor union. For more information, SAG members may visit SAG.org/OneUnion and AFTRA members may visit http://www.aftra.com/OneUnion.htm.

RTC Conference Primers: #30 – MEACPosted by rtmsf on October 5th, 2010
RTC is still seeking a MEAC correspondent. If you are interested in covering this league, email us for further information at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Predicted Order of Finish
- Morgan State (13-3)
- South Carolina State (12-4)
- Norfolk State (10-6)
- Delaware State (9-7)
- Bethune-Cookman (9-7)
- Maryland-Eastern Shore (8-8)
- Hampton (8-8)
- Howard (7-9)
- North Carolina A&T (6-10)
- Coppin State (4-12)
- Florida A&M (2-14)
- Savannah State (*provisional member — ineligible for postseason and league awards)
- North Carolina Central (*provisional member — ineligible for postseason and league awards)
All-Conference Team
- CJ Reed (G) — Bethune-Cookman
- Hillary Haley (G) – Maryland-Eastern Shore
- DeWayne Jackson (F) — Morgan State
- Kyle O'Quinn (F) — Norfolk State
- Kevin Thompson (F) — Morgan State
6th Man
- Darnell Porter (G) — South Carolina State
Impact Newcomer
- Dominique Sutton (F) — North Carolina Central. NCCU isn't yet playing a complete MEAC schedule nor is it eligible for postseason play this year, but the Eagle program is already making noise on the recruiting trail with the announcement of high-major transfer Sutton returning to Durham to suit up for his hometown team. As of this writing, the 6'5 junior forward who averaged 7.2 PPG and 5.8 RPG as a full-time starter last season for Kansas State was practicing with the team and awaiting an NCAA decision on whether he can play this season. He moved back east to be closer to his girlfriend and two daughters in Durham, and the wing player who terrorizes the glass on the offensive end (especially given his size) will automatically become one of the best players in the MEAC as soon as he is eligible.
What You Need To Know
- All Morgan, All the Time. Todd Bozeman has built a powerhouse in Baltimore to the tune of three straight regular season titles, two straight NCAA bids, and a 46-6 record against MEAC teams the last three seasons. But like all consistently great programs, Morgan doesn't re-build anymore as much as re-load. From Jamar Smith to Marquis Kately to Reggie Holmes to the next generation (Thompson and Jackson), Bozeman continually has high-mid major talent playing for him. The Bears' strategy is clear — play a tough non-conference schedule to build up their RPI (beating DePaul, Maryland and Arkansas in recent years), dominate the MEAC, and get back to the NCAA Tournament. Morgan State earned #15 seeds the last two seasons, but they haven't yet been matched up against the right team in order to pull off the upset — #2 seeds Oklahoma (2009) and West Virginia (2010) were simply too powerful inside for them to handle. Could it come this season?
