Police stations are locations in the Grand Theft Auto series where the local law enforcement and their vehicles are located. Some police stations in the series also have helipads and even double as towing impounds. The main reason for a police department in the game is to act as a spawn location when the player gets busted. In the 3D Universe, it was restricted to one island or city (San Andreas). In the HD Universe, there are multiple stations per island or city (in Grand Theft Auto V, however there is only one per small town).
3D Universe
Liberty City
The Liberty City Police Department is headquartered in Torrington. The building is unique for having a helipad on its roof. The interiors of any of these stations are not accessible to the player.
Vice City
The Vice City Police Department is headquartered in Washington Beach. It is the only accessible police station in Vice City. The main entrance allows visitors but within the headquarters are restricted to only police. If the player attempts to go past the main entrance, they will gain a two-star wanted level. However, the player can wear a cop uniform to access the whole interior without being wanted.
San Andreas
In GTA San Andreas, there is a total of seven police stations under the command of the San Andreas Police Department. Three are situated in major cities, while the remaining four are located in rural areas of the State of San Andreas.
- Los Santos Police Headquarters - Pershing Square, Los Santos
- Dillimore, Red County
- Angel Pine, Whetstone
- San Fierro Police Headquarters - Downtown, San Fierro
- El Quebrados Police Station - El Quebrados, Tierra Robada
- Fort Carson Police Station - Fort Carson, Bone County
- Las Venturas Police Headquarters - Roca Escalante, Las Venturas
The Los Santos Police Headquarters, the Dillimore station, and the Las Venturas Police Headquarters are the only stations accessible to the player. Access to the station is unrestricted, but if the player draws a firearm, they immediately gain a two-star wanted level. Of an interesting note, the Dillimore station is exactly the same as the LSPD headquarters, but with different officers.
HD Universe
Liberty City
The Liberty City Police Department is large and organized, possessing 16 police stations throughout Liberty City. All stations are inaccessible.
- Broker
- Dukes
- Bohan
- Algonquin
- Alderney, although independent from Liberty City, it shares their police force, the only difference being the uniform.
Los Santos
- "The LSPD don't mess around. There are no three strikes in Los Santos; one strike and you're on your way to either jail or the morgue. If you are arrested, you'll have your ammunition and body armor confiscated, be taken to the nearest police station, and will have to post bail on release."
- — GTA V Manual
Police stations of the LSPD.
- Rockford Hills Police Station - Eastbourne Way & Abe Milton Parkway.
- Mission Row Police Station - Sinner Street, Atlee Street & Vespucci Boulevard.
- La Mesa Police Station - Popular Street.
- Vinewood Police Station - Elgin Avenue & Vinewood Boulevard.
- Vespucci Police Station - San Andreas Avenue, South Rockford Drive & Vespucci Boulevard.
- Davis Sheriff's Station - Innocence Boulevard & Roy Lowenstein Boulevard.
- Del Perro Police Station - Red Desert Avenue at Del Perro Pier.
- Vespucci Beach Police Station - Vespucci Beach.
- Beaver Bush Ranger Station- Baytree Canyon Road & Marlowe Drive, Vinewood Hills.
Blaine County
- Sandy Shores Sheriff's Station - Zancudo Avenue & Mountain View Drive.
- Paleto Bay Sheriff's Office - Paleto Boulevard & Great Ocean Highway.
- In Grand Theft Auto IV, the player will never respawn at Francis International Airport if busted. Instead they will respawn at East Island City Police Station. Whether this was intentional or not is unknown.
- In Grand Theft Auto V, an interior for the Paleto Bay Sheriff's Office was possibly dropped during development. However, the interior can still be seen in-game by stepping into the non-solid window by the front entrance, but it's not solid.

Jack Becker: Public Art/Civic Catalyst
Public art and its accompanying community participation contribute significantly to the identity of a city. In addition to inspiring dialogue and providing visual appeal, a varied civic public art collection often symbolizes the vitality of the city it inhabits.
Jack Becker, executive director of Minnesota-based Forecast Public Art and publisher of Public Art Review, discusses the complex, beneficial, and sometimes contentious role that art plays in the public realm.
Co-sponsored by Art in the Loop, the Downtown Council, and the Municipal Art Commission.

A version of this article appears in the January/February 2009 issue of Home Energy Magazine.
January 02, 2009
Where's the High-Density Foam? I was looking over your article in the Nov/Dec '08 issue ("The Long Island Green Homes Program," p. 6) and noticed that the description of the picture on p. 8 is incorrect (see photo below). In the rim joist I can see a kraft-faced Certain-Teed fiberglass batt installed, not 4-inch high-density foam. On the facing of the kraft-faced material it notes you cannot leave this material exposed because it's flammable. David C. James Santa Barbara, California Author Rich Manning replies: That is a good observation, but let me explain. The foundation is an 8-inch concrete block wall and the house was built in the 1920s; therefore it had balloon framing. The picture that I took was taken before the work was completed. We had sprayed 4 inches of high-density foam along the rim joist, not only to insulate the rim joist and underflooring, but also to use it for fire blocking. We wanted to finish it with the Thermax so it would look uniform and not be recessed, so we filled the space between with fiberglass to fill the void and help slow down air movement. It doesn't&...

Proba de Microfon (1980)
Directed by Mircea DaneliucRun Time - 108 min. | Countries - Romania |
Share on
Synopsis by Eleanor Mannikka
A cameraman (Micea Daneliuc) and the older, female reporter he accompanies on daily rounds for the television news shows, have become so jaded that life around them seems to occur only in frames and sound bytes - until the cameraman runs into an intriguing, attractive woman on the train. She is dodging the ticket-taker and so the cameraman gracefully buys a ticket for her, an act which leads to their eventual mutual acquaintance and the continued borrowing of money. The cameraman finally finds out that she is supporting the rehab efforts of her alcoholic brother. In his own bumbling way, he tries to get to know her better when all his hopes are dashed - he is called to serve in the army. That keeps him away from the pursuit of his mystery woman, and also from the increasingly amorous clutches of the older female reporter. One day while he is on leave he sees his mystery woman in a crowd on the street, catches up with her, and tells her how he really feels - only to have her disappear into the crowd again. Now he must make a major decision - should he continue looking for this woman and pursue his ideals, or return to life as he knew it before her? The cinema-verite techniques and semi-documentary approach of the cinematography in this film add another dimension to the telling of the story: it is related from the point of view of the cameraman all along.

On This Day...
December 7, 1787, Delaware ratifies the Constitution. In 1787, Delaware becomes the first state to ratify the Constitution, doing so by a unanimous vote. This momentous event occurred exactly one year after the Hampshire Herald published a statement by Thomas Grover listing the demands made by the participants in Shays' Rebellion. The post-war economy left farmers of western Massachusetts and throughout the 13 states in distress. Many were unable to pay debts with the worthless paper money issued by state governments. Captain Daniel Shays, a Continental Army veteran, led an attack on the federal arsenal in Springfield, Massachusetts, as part of an effort to close the courts where debt lawyers sued debtors. Volunteers put down the rebellion, but wealthy men throughout the new states were terrified that such a revolt might be repeated. To further their fears, "Shays-ite" candidates swept the Massachusetts legislature in the next election.
Debtors' uprisings like Shays' Rebellion were a significant impetus for the Philadelphia convention to strengthen the American union. Alexander Hamilton first called for discussions on revising the Articles of Confederation based on improving economic relations in the new republic. The process began in a hurried and extra-legal manner. The Constitutional Convention's dictate that the new Constitution would come into effect after merely nine states ratified was strictly illegal under the Articles, which demanded unanimity among the states for amendments to take effect. The drafters wanted to take action quickly before the nation was irreversibly fractured.
Delaware's ratification indicated that the states were indeed willing to consider an extra-legal document drafted behind closed doors. In many ways, the ratification process was a sort of second American revolution and Delaware's unanimous vote accurately foretold that it would take place without bloodshed.

OUTSTANDING Kiwi Jamie How smashed his second ton of the season in the second game of the season as Darwen were forced to dig deep to gain a Northern League draw at Kendal on Saturday.
The 30-year-old New Zealand Test man broke the Cumbrians' batting record on the opening day as Kendal piled on the runs at Carnforth - and he was in glorious form again as the Towers looked for their first win.
Kendal won the toss and chose to bat and made a patient start before Donovan Du Plessis was castled by Niall Burke for 15 with the score on 31 in the 16th over.
But that brought How to the crease as he joined Jamie Heywood - and the pair set themselves for a long stay.
There was nothing flashy as they crept to 78-1 from 30 overs but the last 20 of the innings saw them step on the gas as they took the game away from the Towers in a 157-run stand for the second wicket.
Heywood was finally bowled by Neil Cordingley for 64 from 148 balls, while How passed his ton in style as he raced to 128 not out from just 100 deliveries.
Veteran Terry Hunte, 28 years on from first playing in England as professional at Nelson, made 15 and Kendal closed on 228-2 from their 50 overs with Darwen sub pro, last year's paid man Mohamad Zaman Khan, suffering with the ball.
In damp conditions that sort of chase was always going to be tough for the Towers and when Scott Jackson went to his first ball in the second over and Zaman Khan departed cheaply, there were even more up against it.
Danny Fradd went for 14 and when Alex Davies was caught by Jack White off Nick Lewthwaite for 37 Darwen's minds were on the draw.
That was even more so when six overs were lost to rain, especially as the target was unaffected.
Neil Cordingley (28) and Gareth Cordingley (27) led the resistance but Darwen were rocking on 134-8 with eight overs remaining.
However Burke and Nathan Jackson saw them through the nervy final overs for a couple of points.
Chorley recovered from their opening day hammering at the hands of Fleetwood as they claimed the lion's share from a draw at St Annes.
Batting first, Chorley recovered from the loss of skipper Andy Holdsworth in the 10th over to post a more than testing 241-5 from 50 overs with Will Moulton smashing 50 from just 31 balls.
St Annes suffered the blow of losing Charles Boucher to a dislocated shoulder as he landed awkwardly in the field but they started well and passed 50 without loss until the brakes were applied and wickets started to fall.
Former Pakistan Test star Atiq uz-Zaman led the way for St Annes and made and excellent 109 but the home side closed on 199-6.

Angela Reyes
Angela Reyes (Ph.D. University of Pennsylvania, 2003) is Professor in the Department of English at Hunter College, City University of New York (CUNY), and Doctoral Faculty in the Program in Anthropology at The Graduate Center, CUNY. She teaches courses on English linguistic structures and histories, discourse theory and analysis, linguistic anthropology, and language in relation to notions of race, mixedness, and postcoloniality. She is a Faculty Advisory Board Member of the Asian American Studies Program and Mellon-Mays Undergraduate Fellowship Program at Hunter College, and Associate Editor for Linguistic Anthropology of American Anthropologist.
Reyes works on theories of semiotics, discourse, racialization, and postcoloniality. Combining ethnographic fieldwork and discourse analysis, her research examines how ideologies of language and race are formulated through spatiotemporal scales of communicative context in both the U.S. and the Philippines. She has conducted three main ethnographic studies: a four-year study of Southeast Asian American teenagers in an after-school videomaking project at an Asian American community arts organization in Philadelphia; a one-year study of Korean American fifth graders in an Asian American "cram school" in New York City; and a two-year study of Filipino college students and professors at a private university in Manila, Philippines. In this most recent work in the Philippines, Reyes examines conceptions of mixed race/language that link an elite social figure (a type of privileged mestizo youth called conyo) to an elite linguistic register (a form of Tagalog-English speech called conyo). She examines how anxieties about nation, modernity, race, and language are traceable through the circulation of the conyo figure/register on college campuses and across new media sites. She is also in the preliminary stages of researching Riot Grrrl punk feminist zine archives from the early 1990s.
Reyes is the recipient of numerous fellowships, including the Advanced Research Collaborative Distinguished Fellowship (2016), National Academy of Education/Spencer Foundation Postdoctoral Fellowship (2009-2010), Andrew W. Mellon Foundation/Woodrow Wilson National Fellowship Foundation Career Enhancement Fellowship for Junior Faculty (2006-2007), and National Research Council/Ford Foundation Dissertation Fellowship for Minorities (2002-2003).

When Frank Lupafya played golf for the first time four years ago, he had to be talked into it.
"I thought golf has got to be not only the dumbest thing," the 44-year-old Worcester resident admitted, "but it's something old guys do."
Lupafya, a rugby player, finally agreed to play with a friend just to show how easy it would be, and bragged that he would beat him. He realizes now how ridiculous he sounded.
Lupafya swung and missed seven times on the first tee at Juniper Hill's Riverside Course before the starter instructed him to pick up and move ahead. He putted clear across every green. He didn't play every hole, but by the end of the day, he was hooked on golf.
Today, Lupafya is a 7 handicap at Sterling National Golf Club, and he has won a few local tournaments with various partners. He plays seven days most weeks at Sterling or other courses such as Torrey Pines and Bethpage Black. Sometimes, he plays 36 holes a day.
"If I don't play," he said, "I have shortness of breath, sweaty palms, hives. I have all kinds of side effects."
That may be stretching the truth a little, but he feels better when he's golfing. When he isn't playing, he practices up to five hours a day while listening to Golf Channel on his Bluetooth. He gave up his season tickets to the Patriots so he could golf more. He even attended the Masters this year. Yup, he has become obsessed with the game, and he smiles on each hole.
"His attitude toward the game is just great," Sterling National head pro Bill Cunningham said. "Whether he shoots 85 or 75, you can't really tell."
Lupafya's first name is Qabaniso, but people call him by his middle name because it's easier to pronounce. They actually call him "Big Frank" because he's 5-foot-9, 265 pounds.
The day he played golf for the first time four years ago, his playing partner told him about a Marlboro Chamber of Commerce golf tournament the next day at Marlboro CC. So Lupafya called the chamber to sign up, claimed to be a very good player, and asked to be placed on a good team. He figured if he played with good players, he'd learn quicker.
On the ride to the course, he realized he didn't have any golf clubs. He had used clubs belonging to his playing partner's wife the day before. So he stopped at East Coast Golf in Northboro and purchased a starter set for $180.
He informed his playing partners he was a big hitter, but as he prepared to tee off, they stopped him. He had neglected to take the shrink wrap off his driver or any of his other clubs.
"Their faces and jaws dropped because they realized they were playing with a schmuck," Lupafya said. "This guy has obviously never played."
After he peeled off the wrap, he made sure he didn't swing and miss again. He took a slow, short stroke and the ball traveled only 15 yards. Lupafya was thrilled simply to make contact. His playing partners grew disgusted and stopped talking to him. Undaunted, Lupafya asked if they could recommend an instructor, and they suggested Terry O'Hara, director of golf at Cyprian Keyes.
Lupafya didn't even wait until the end of the round to leave a message with O'Hara, excitedly insisting he planned to become a PGA Tour golfer by the end of the year. Lupafya realizes now that he was na�ve, but he didn't know it then. He left messages for four consecutive days, but O'Hara didn't call him back.
Finally, O'Hara called and agreed to give him lessons, but warned him that becoming a PGA Tour golfer was not realistic. That year, Lupafya joined a league at Kettle Brook and finished last. The following year, he finished first.
Last year, he joined Sterling National and lowered his handicap to a 6. It crept up to 7 this year because he's adjusting to a new grip. Guess where he has shot his lowest round? He returned to Juniper Hill's Riverside Course to fire a 1-over 72.
Lupafya grew up in the African nation of Zimbabwe, but the Southboro Rotary Club sponsored him to attend Algonquin Regional for a year as an exchange student. After he went home to Zimbabwe in January at the end of his exchange program, his former Algonquin classmates held bake sales and car washes to raise money so he could return to attend the graduation ceremony that June. Francis Carroll, a Worcester businessman who spoke at the graduation, sponsored him to attend Worcester State, and Lupafya has lived in Worcester since.
"It's impossible not to like Frank," said Rich Hennemann, 35, the inside sales manager for MacNeill Engineering in Marlboro. "Two minutes after meeting him, he's your favorite person ever."
Lupafya owns a company, Pegasus Courier Service, which delivers athletic spikes made by MacNeill.
Lupafya loves to laugh and tell long stories, even if they're a bit embarrassing. While playing at a course in Indiana last spring, Lupafya jumped over a stream in pursuit of his errant shot and he slowly sunk in mud past his waist. As he was descending, he flung his GPS, putter and wedge to his friends, who then pulled him out. Lupafya played the next few holes caked in mud before a ranger stopped him.
"Hey, we have a dress code here," the agitated ranger shouted.
"I'm wearing a collared shirt," Lupafya replied.
"Yeah, but you need shorts and a belt," the range shot back.
Lupafya's shorts were so muddy, he had removed them and played in his underwear. So, in an attempt to appease the ranger, Lupafya strapped his belt around his underwear, but that didn't work, so he reluctantly put his muddy shorts back on.
Lupafya joked that his wife has instructed the Northboro police to handcuff him if he steps anywhere near Golf Town.
"The Golf Town people have been instructed not to sell me any stuff, especially putters." Lupafya said. "I have a fetish with putters."
He owns 13 of them.
Lupafya's wife, Tendai, is also from Zimbabwe. They have no children. Tendai doesn't golf, but he gives her half of any money he wins on the course to keep her happy.
"She knows her husband has this crazy obsession," he said. "It's not just a hobby. But she's so nice to me, and she lets me golf."
She even allows him to putt on the kitchen floor while he watches the Golf Channel or PGA Tour or LPGA Tour events he taped, often rewinding to scrutinize each player's swing.
Of the 20 weekdays this month, Red Tail GC in Devens has outings of 40 or more golfers scheduled for 17 of them.
"I think there's been a turn in the economy," Red Tail director of golf Jim Pavlik said. "We're having one of our best years since the downturn in the market in 2008. The corporate world is back spending money on golf."
Red Tail will host more than 40 outings in all this year, including the NEPGA Pro-Superintendent Tournament on Oct. 9. Two years ago at Nashawtuc CC, Pavlik and Pat Lange won low net at the Pro-Super. Last year, they placed in the top three. Lange left to work at Oakley CC in Watertown, so Pavlik will have a new partner, first-year superintendent Shawn Spear.
Marc Lowell, a former successful amateur golfer, joined Red Tail GC in Devens this summer as an assistant pro. Lowell won the club championship at the Orchards GC in South Hadley last year and captured more than a half-dozen club championships at Sandy Burr CC in Wayland, but he turned pro after leaving his job as a quality control director for a software company. The Framingham resident replaced Rob Jobin, who left the golf business.
Red Tail, Golfweek's pick as the top public course in the state, drops its rates on Oct. 9 to $65 Monday to Thursday and $75 Friday to Sunday. Until then, it costs $85 and $99. That includes cart and range balls. On Mondays, women of all ages and men aged 62 and over can ride for $59.
Red Tail opened in 2001 on the former Fort Devens military base and the club embraces the base's history. Half a dozen or so former ammunition buildings can be seen from the 17th hole and a surveillance tower stands next to the 18th tee. A slide that used to be in the backyard of a barracks sits next to the 12th hole.
When Pavlik visited the USGA Museum in New Jersey, he came across a photo of Francis Ouimet conducting a golf clinic for the troops at Fort Devens, so he got a copy for Red Tail's website. Former Secretary of State Colin Powell met his future wife while he was stationed at Fort Devens in the early 1960s.
Westminster CC has reduced its membership dues for 2013 to $1,200. That's $400 less than this year. If you pay $400 now, you can play the rest of this year and owe only $800 for next year. Westminster director of golf Mike Leblanc said about a dozen new members have signed up for the lower rates. Call the club at (978) 874-5938 to sign up.

New York (CNN) -- New York City and I broke up almost 10 years ago. I said it was my fault, but I lied. Money drove us apart. The city was happy to take, but unwilling to give. At least to me. Finally, I left. But I wasn't happy about it.
A few years later I read an article about a guy who jumped off the Golden Gate Bridge and survived. This is how he described what happened as soon as he leaped,"I instantly realized that everything in my life that I'd thought was unfixable was fixable...except for having jumped."
That's how I felt looking at the city framed in the rearview of my cousin's pickup the day he helped me move. NYC and I could have worked something out. But it was too late. I was off to another town. The city kept the cat.
So, when I recently returned to New York, courtesy of a TV show, I was especially giddy. OK, I wasn't financing the trip myself, and, yes, I was staying in the storage room of my friend's apartment in the West Village. But New York didn't know that.
Here's what New York saw when I landed: A guy in a suit holding a card with my name on it. Now this is not a common occurrence for me, it was just a fringe benefit of the aforementioned TV appearance. For a moment I pretended that I was waiting for my luggage so the city could take it all in and see how far I'd come. Kind of a "How ya like me now?" moment directed at my ex.
But NYC's too cool to care. And if I'm honest with myself, that's why I love it. After a few minutes I admitted to the driver that I didn't have any checked luggage. Unsmiling, he stared at me for a moment and then turned and started walking to the car.
And then there she was. Is there another city in the world where a glimpse of it makes you feel like you're hang gliding while sipping a martini?
And that's the paradox at the heart of visiting New York. The most expensive city in the United States provides the cheapest thrill: You just need to arrive and look up.
Of course you also have to eat, but that can be done on the cheap, too. Yes, NYC is rightfully famous for its upscale restaurants (Ai Fiori and Recette are two buzzy new comers), but it also has a host of handsome, not-insanely priced options like Momofuku and ABC Kitchen. And it's home to my favorite eatery: The closest bodega.
Bodegas are mini grocery stores. The name comes from the Spanish word for grocery store. Many of NYC's bodegas were opened by Puerto Rican and Dominican immigrants, but they are now owned and operated by a rainbow of ethnicities. In Lower Manhattan, they're never more than a block or two away.
They are chock full of soda, water, beer, newspapers, fake aphrodisiacs, cigarettes, chapstick and all the other sundries you might need during your long days away from your usually small living quarters. But more importantly, bodegas are beacons of hope in the tumult of the big city. They are first-aid stations, reality checks, enablers, canteens, information booths, shelters and -- this is my favorite part -- makers of affordable sandwiches.
The Canadians can have their government health insurance, I'll take the security of two gooey eggs, salt, pepper and a slice of cheese on a kaiser bun for under four bucks. Or a thick turkey sandwich with cold lettuce, tomatoes and mayo to mop up what I spilled down my gullet at a bar on a long night.
As it turns out, high rents and the proliferation of chain stores are pushing bodegas toward extinction. You know how people say that New York has turned into a playground for the rich? They're right. Just window shopping on Hudson Street can lower your FICO score. Average rent for a two bedroom apartment in Manhattan is north of $3500. Throw in a doorman and you're talking another two grand. That means two months rent will pay for a year of public college where you can take a course in psychiatry and earn a living examining the heads of people who live in Manhattan.
But, if one can secure affordable digs for a visit (my friend's storage closet is constantly filled with visitors from out of town. God knows where he keeps his luggage. Oh that's right, he probably can't afford to leave), the concentrated wealth of Manhattan provides more than just thoughts of revolution.
It has created wondrous architecture and soul nourishing public spaces like the newish High Line, a 1930s elevated railway that's being turned into a park on Manhattan's West Side. The High Line is a miracle of art, native grasses and city views. It's for walking. And sitting (there are lounges with wheels that slide on the remnants of train tracks.) It's elegant.
I wonder if NYC will take me back. I'm in love again. Now I just need to find an affordable apartment.
If you go ...
The Spotted Pig Puts the "gastro" in gastropub. Michelin-star food in an unassuming setting. The restaurant's famous friends give it a hint of glamour. Can the rest of America copy this idea already? (I'm looking at you Los Angeles.)
Cafe Angelique Sunny, yummy and bustling. A little French cafe where you can fill your stomach and your Moleskine notebook.
Momofuku If you've never had real ramen, don't go here; it will ruin you forever. Otherwise, stop by for some of the best in the country.

Reed Hastings isn't too concerned about the mixed picture in Netflix's earnings report.
Five days after Netflix made history by becoming the first streaming service to get Emmy nominations for original content, the company reported earnings of 49 cents per share, beating Wall Street expectations by 9 cents. But subscriber numbers, which came in right in the middle of projections, and the company's third quarter outlook disappointed investors, sending the stock lower after-hours. (For the latest stock price, click here.)
(Read more: Netflix adds subscribers, but fewer than expected)
I sat down with Hastings after moderating a new version of an earnings call: a Google Plus Hangout with emailed questions from a range of investors and sell-side analysts. The Netflix CEO brushed off the after-hours decline in the stock and said he's pleased with a "tremendous quarter."
"There's always ups and downs in the short term in the stock price," he said. "But the big picture is great. A year ago, we were at $80. Now we're at $250. Five years ago we were at $30, so we're feeling great about the long term."
The fact that Netflix didn't hit the top end of its subscriber growth projections was a point of concern for investors. But Hastings says that was by design; The company tries to forecast to hit right in the middle. Hastings pointed out that the company had more net additions than a year ago. Though the company wouldn't reveal the quantifiable impact of its originals, Hastings says "the day that 'Arrested Development' was released we saw more growth than we expected."
One big question for Netflix as it attracts subscribers is how it plans to cover its off-balance-sheet content costs. Hastings acknowledged those costs are significant.

One of Australia's big banks threatened to withdraw millions of dollars of advertising from a certain media company earlier this year.
There is nothing new in such tactics. From time to time, corporations flex their financial muscle to muzzle adverse press coverage. In this case, the press held firm. The story in question was in the public interest and the bank in question relented.
The threat is worthy of note now, five years on from the financial crisis, as one of the most profound dilemmas for government in this country, and elsewhere, is the emergence of the super-sized bank. It is at once both a comfort and an omen.
The banking system in Australia is strong, which is a good thing. Stability comes before competition. But there is a quid pro quo. The price of this strength is a menacing oligopoly that now dominates the sharemarket, the housing market and the trillion-dollar superannuation market.
Five years ago, the banks were not explicitly backed by the taxpayer. Now they are, thanks to a range of protections, the greatest of which was revealed this year in the guise of the Reserve Bank's "committed liquidity facility", a $380 billion bailout mechanism.
There is no other business so mollycoddled, so assured of survival, thanks to the taxpayer.
For shareholders, the hegemony of the "four pillars" – Commonwealth Bank, Westpac, ANZ and NAB – has been a boon. CBA shares have risen from $44 to $74 in five years. Its market value now towers at $119 billion. In contrast, in 2008 as the share price of BHP topped $50, the big miner's market cap of $250 billion eclipsed the seven banks listed on the ASX.
St George and BankWest were soon subsumed into the big four and, including dividends, the value of the four has doubled since then.
Imagine what might happen if credit growth ramps up in another housing boom and lending standards are relaxed to supercharge bank profits.
The Bank of International Settlements (BIS) – known as the central bank for central banks – rates Australia's big four as the most profitable in the world.
They make better returns than their peers in every developed country and will have racked up a combined bottom line of more than $26 billion this year.
Moreover, the BIS figures rank the operating costs of Australia's banks as fourth lowest among peers: after Sweden, France and Japan, at 1.19 per cent of assets. Net interest margins are third highest. And this sweet spot is no fluke. BIS ranked Australia's banks the most profitable in the developed world for 2011 and 2012.
Unlike most other super-profitable enterprises however, there is little risk for the banks. Yet this "moral hazard" means the banks can take as much risk as is politically possible. The only penalty for failure is some bad PR.
As far as bankers are concerned, regulatory prosecutions don't happen, let alone investigations. And so the job of the Big Bank chief has become one of diplomacy, managing politicians and other stakeholders, and thanks to an ever powerful lobby, the risk of heavier regulation still seems some way off.
Thomas Jefferson in 1809:
"If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks … will deprive the people of all property until their children wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered."
We have had the inflation. Then the GFC gave us the deflation. Then the banks doubled in size. Let's hope the next step, homelessness, is a long way off.

Verizon Wireless: Soon Majority of Data Traffic Will Be on LTE
Verizon Wireless said that more than a third of its data traffic is already travelling on its fastest LTE network, and that within a few months, the majority of data traffic will be on that network.
It is taking only two years to reach that milestone, compared to the eight years it took 3G to account for the bulk of data traffic, Chief Technical Officer Nicola Palmer said in a presentation on Tuesday at the MobileCon event in San Diego.
"As we look at the growth of data, it's been phenomenal," Palmer said.
As of last quarter, 11 million of Verizon's 89 million contract customers are on 4G LTE devices.
The company had said it would hit 400 markets by the end of the year, and Palmer said the company will hit that milestone on Oct. 18, with Marquette, Michigan. The company plans to cover its complete 3G coverage area with LTE by the end of next year.
Palmer said that the company will then look to LTE Advanced to boost the company's capacity in addition to its coverage area.
"It's one of the tools we have in our toolbox," Palmer said, in addition to building more cell sites and adding spectrum.
Palmer noted that the company's network is the largest LTE network in the world, and now covers 75 percent of the U.S. population, with more markets being added each month.
In a move to get more devices onto the network, Verizon announced in June a shift to new shared data plans. Such plans, also offered by AT&T, allow customers to share a pool of gigabytes across multiple devices.
The company is also doing the work needed to prepare to handle voice as well as data over LTE. Testing is ongoing, with Palmer noting that she recently made a call over the network.
As for when service will kick off, Palmer said to "expect something toward end of 2013."

So. No vlog. But I will tell you this:
I'm kind of scared.
Like if you told me I didn't have to go, I'd probably consider it.
Leaving my family?
That's got me so down. I had a moment at my Little Bean's school today, volunteering in the library, when I just broke down, you know? It just hit me. I'm leaving for Haiti. There's nothing easy about that.
But I'm excited, too. For all the obvious reasons, not the least of which is the children we'll be surrounded by because of the orphanage. But this just hit me today too--I'm about to get to know twenty-four people I didn't really know before. Good people. With big huge hearts. Some of them medical with healing abilities (Amen to that, baby), and many of them like me--no medical knowledge, but a need to heal anyway. A part of me is just a tad insecure, wondering if they'll like me. Think I'm an idiot. Or weak. But mostly, I'm just excited to get to know them. I wonder, too, if they're feeling the same way, or if it's just a newbie feeling? Or just me? It's sort of like a writers' conference, in that respect...if I were going on my very first one. In the poorest country in the Western hemisphere...
I have no idea if I'll have Internet access in Haiti. I hope so. Hubs is still working on my phone, trying to get it all sorted. But I'll attempt to blog tomorrow (today, technically) from the airport. If nothing else, I'd like you to see the people I'm traveling with. I'm convinced they're special people. I think you'll see that, too.
But, for now, let me catch you up:
This is the medicine I collected and purchased. It's hard to tell here, but you're looking at thousands upon thousands of tablets and bottles, ointments, and drops.
But it wasn't all me. In fact, I did very little of this. Honestly, it was all you guys. Every one of you who donated, helped break down meds, prayed, sent happy juju, encouraged, and all around lifted me and the team up--dude, it was YOU. You are the foundation of this Medical Team. Without you, there is no team. FYI.
I wish I'd gotten a picture of all the medicine when it was spread out as we were preparing to pack it. But I didn't get my camera out until most of it had been scooped up. Even then, it was only a portion, as a lot had been shipped in advance. But oh man. Seriously. I was blown away by the amount of medicine. A veritable Garden of Healing. Freaking awesome. What you see above was just a small percentage.
Here's Dana, our Team pharmacist and Carolyn on the right, Nurse and Team Coordinator. Without these two, the Team would sink. Clearly, they are AWEsome. And I adore them already. Those meds you see are all that was left after the initial shark feeding frenzy, aka packing up grab and go (I make this sound way simpler than it was).
Here you have a piece of luggage getting weighed. It happens to be my luggage, actually. A little medicine. But mostly make-up (cue snort). It's important we get the luggage all the way to the max 50 pounds. No leaving medicine behind! The guy with the beard belongs to me. I'm not sure about the guy without the beard. But if he's on the trip, I'll find out. And let you know. He does seem quite nice.
I'm really hoping people will fill me in on these names. Just a newbie here, people.
Anyway, if there's one thing I hope you take away from this is not really how much work is involved in doing a medical mission like this (that's a given--but also really difficult to convey). But rather, I hope you see how it takes a lot of people to make something like this happen. This is just a small sampling of the people involved. We have twenty-five people actually traveling to Haiti, but just imagine how many people were needed to support each and every one of the twenty-five. For me, one of the most overwhelming aspects of this whole thing was the notion that I'm just one person. How much difference can I possibly make? And how in the world can I do this alone?
But we're not alone. That's what I'm coming to understand. That's what we hope the Haitians will take away, too. For starters.

Installation questions
Sound and performance questions
Q: What kind of a difference do new speakers really make?
A: You'll find that replacing your factory speakers can make a noticeable difference. Music sounds crisper, more dynamic, and closer to the way it was recorded and better than it would with a worn-out or low-quality speaker.
Speaker replacement is also the single most cost-effective car stereo upgrade you can perform. And even the newer, factory-installed speaker systems, which may sound OK at first, aren't typically built to give you the years of reliable, ear-pleasing sound you can expect from a good pair of aftermarket speakers.
Q: How much power do I need for my new speakers?
A: While manufacturers give a range of RMS, or continuous, power that will work for the speaker, getting towards the upper end of that power range or even exceeding it yields the best results. That said, a speaker with a lower RMS power range will be more suitable for powering with a factory or aftermarket stereo, while a higher RMS range will work better with an external amplifier.
With an external amplifier, you should pick an amp with a power rating in the upper end of your speaker's power range. For example, if a speaker is rated to handle up to 35 watts of RMS power, it will perform closer to optimum as your power source approaches delivery of 35 watts.
JL Audio's TR650-CXi 6-1/2" speakers have an RMS power range of 10-50 watts. This makes them a solid match with an aftermarket stereo, but even better with an external amplifier.
It's better to overpower a speaker than to underpower it — the distortion caused when you push a low-powered amp or receiver to its limit is much more likely to harm a speaker than too much power.
Q: Will my factory radio power a set of aftermarket speakers?
A: In most cases, yes. Aftermarket speakers will certainly sound better with a little more juice, but most of our speakers will sound just fine with factory power. The exceptions are matched component sets, and any speaker with a minimum RMS power rating of 8 watts or more.
Q: Do speakers with a higher efficiency rating sound better?
A: Efficiency ratings don't tell you how good a speaker "sounds." They simply indicate how well the speaker uses power. If you're using a low-powered factory system, you'll want to choose a speaker with a higher efficiency rating (90 db and up). Low-efficiency speakers can sound great, but they'll need a high-powered receiver or amplifier for energy.
Q: Does the type of tweeter make a difference in the sound I hear?
A: Speaker manufacturers use a variety of materials in their tweeters, such as paper, silk, ceramic, titanium, polyetherimide, and so on. One type of meterial is not necessarily superior to another, because they all have different characteristics and reproduce sound in slightly different ways. As a rule, paper is responsive because it is so light, while composites are more durable. You'll find that silk and silk/polymer blends sound very smooth and even.
In general, a dome tweeter provides better dispersion and off-axis imaging than a cone tweeter. A balanced dome tweeter combines the two designs with a dome mounted within a cone. You might want to listen to a variety of tweeter materials and designs to find the one that suits your musical taste.
Read our article about tweeter design for a more in-depth discussion.
Q: What difference do cone materials make?
A: As with tweeters, woofer cones come in a variety of materials. They can be made of treated paper, synthetics, or composites. Woofer cones need to be more rigid because their task is to reproduce strong bass notes. Again, paper tends to be less durable, but responds quicker than other materials. All of these can sound great; you just need to experiment with different sounds and materials to find what's right for you.
The polymer composite cone on this Polk Audio woofer is lightweight, yet rigid, so it can move fast and retain its shape
Q: What innovations in aftermarket speakers can help improve the sound of my system?
A: If you're looking to "tweak" your system for optimal performance, you should be aware of some of the great features that several speaker manufacturers offer. For improved imaging, many tweeters come in adjustable mounts that let you focus high frequencies more precisely to your listening position.
Some speakers have bi-amp inputs, so you can power the woofer and tweeter from separate amplifiers for more powerful sound.
Q: My new front speakers sound distorted when I crank up my system. Is there any way to improve their performance?
A: Try a set of Bass Blockers. These act as high-pass crossovers to guard against distortion, especially when you turn up the volume. Remember, the smaller the speaker, the more difficulty it has reproducing low notes at high volume. Eliminating low frequencies from a smaller coaxial speaker means you'll get cleaner, louder performance. And, since the bass coming from your back speakers (or subs) is omnidirectional, you'll never know the bass blockers are there!
Q: What's the advantage of choosing component speakers for my car?
A: With a properly powered set of matched components, you'll get better imaging and a much more detailed and dynamic sound than you could expect from conventional speakers.
Mounting the separate tweeter closer to your ears optimizes your speakers' imaging and brings out a level of detail you may have never heard before. The premium-quality woofers deliver forceful, dynamic bass and midrange, while the separate crossover networks will properly routing your highs and lows to protect your tweeters and make your system sound its best. As a rule, component speakers generally require an external amplifier to really come alive.
Q: My new component speakers aren't living up to my expectations. What's wrong?
A: Here are a few tips to get your component speakers sounding their best:
- Check the crossover setting — many think that a flat setting for the tweeters is the way to go, but you'll often find that you need to attenuate the highs to counteract too much brightness
- Are you feeding them enough power? With most sets of components running them off your receiver just can't give them enough power to operate properly. Remember, underpowering your speakers is more dangerous than overpowering them.
- Like a good sub, speakers need time to break in.
- Are you getting rattles and vibrations? Check your mountings — you may benefit from installing foam baffles and Dynamat in your doors. Keep in mind, you've created new openings for the tweeters as well.
Q: What's the most affordable way to get crisper highs and better stereo imaging in my car?
A: If you often find yourself reaching for the tone control to "sharpen" your stereo sound, you're likely to notice a big improvement when you install a pair of add-on tweeters to your system. Most factory speakers are "dual-cone" models — they use paper whizzer cones to reproduce high frequencies. The result is sound that's dull and lifeless. You'd be stunned at the number of "premium" or "name brand" factory systems we've seen that rely on these little paper megaphones to handle the highs.
What makes tweeters so important? It's true that they reproduce the high notes, but there's more to the story. Besides being responsible for recreating the very highest frequencies in your music, tweeters impact the realism of the overall sound as well. This is because the ultra-high frequency information that tweeters handle helps render the specific timbre of each instrument in your music.
Timbre is a word used to describe an individual instrument's sonic fingerprint or voice. A good pair of tweeters will help you distinguish an overdriven guitar sound from a saxophone, and a saxophone from a trumpet. High-quality tweeters also add crispness to your music for a more realistic listening experience. They can ensure that the sound of a snare drum comes across as a satisfying crack instead of a muted thud, and they help you hear the rattle and click of strings plucked on an upright bass. You'll feel like you're right there in the studio with your favorite musicians.
Add-on tweeters also give you placement flexibility. They'll help you achieve realistic stereo imaging — that sense of the precise physical location of each of the musicians in the recording.
Installation questions
Q: I have 6"x9" speakers in my car. Why doesn't your website show that any 6"x9" speakers fit?
A: Even though speakers are classified by cone size, it's not the only factor in determining if a speaker fits your car. Sometimes speakers are too tall or too deep for the locations they're meant to go in. In addition to measuring every speaker model we carry, we also measure thousands of vehicles. That's how we know that we're recommending the right stuff for your car or truck. If a speaker you're interested in isn't listed as fitting, give us a call. Sometimes minor modifications can make it work.
Mounting height and depth, along with tweeter protrusion, are major factors in determining whether or not a speaker fits your car. (Click the photo for a larger view.)
Q: How difficult will it be to install my new speakers?
A: You can count on a simple installation with any of our "Easy-Fit" speakers. And in most cases, a new pair of speakers is about the easiest car audio component to install in your vehicle. As a Crutchfield customer, you'll benefit from the free, vehicle-specific instructions found in our MasterSheet™, free wiring harnesses that eliminate splicing, and our friendly, toll-free technical support. For a more detailed look at what's involved, check out our car speaker installation page.
Q: Do I need new wire to replace my factory speakers?
A: Factory speaker wire is fine if you're powering your new speakers with a factory or aftermarket stereo. But if you plan to install an external amplifier that's rated at 50 watts RMS or more per channel, then we recommend that you run new speaker wire.
Q: Can I use my factory grilles for installation?
A: You certainly can. In many cases, aftermarket speakers come with manufacturer grilles (usually sporting the speaker-maker's logo), which you can use if you prefer. Some manufacturers are shipping speakers with radical-looking grilles that are designed for excellent cosmetics and minimal sound obstruction.
Jimmie Adams from LawrencePosted on 2/4/2020
Which one will provide the better bass a 6 and a 1/2 speaker with 200 rms or a 10" speaker with a 150 rmsAlexander H. from Crutchfield on 2/5/2020Jimmie, as long as you're giving the 10" adequate power, the bigger cone is likely going to provide more satisfying bass. But "better" is subjective and applications vary. If we can help make a speaker recommendation, give us a call!
Paul Hubbell from VictoriaPosted on 12/13/2019
This question has probably been asked 1000x time over but here I go. I have an "ish" understanding of impedance but no idea if it makes a difference with door speakers. My amp is 2/4 ohm stable and I have 2ohm jbls in all my doors. All coaxial, and I plan to keep it that way for a while Will I need to flip a switch, or wire the speakers/amp any differently if I swap to 4ohm speakers in the future? And will 4ohm speakers be any louder than the 2ohm or will it be about the same and a waste of effort to swap?div>
Harris from GainesvillePosted on 12/4/2018
So I'm getting new speakers for my truck. I found the speakers that I want but there is a bundle that comes with tweeters. Do I really need the bundle with the tweeters or can I just get the speakers without the tweeters?Alexander H. from Crutchfield on 12/5/2018Harris, by bundle, do you mean the external crossovers (they often look like little black boxes)? If so, yes, you'll need those. They ensure that the tweeters don't receive lower frequencies that they can't handle. We do carry tweeters (and component sets) with inline crossovers, which means they won't have boxes you need to decide where to hide. I've passed your question along to our Advisors. Someone will contact you soon to help out.

One girl's twistedly fantastic interpretation of what the hell is really going on in those tribes.
Tuesday, September 18, 2012
Katie: Honey Bore Bore
Next we will be meeting 22 year old Katie Hanson from Delaware. Katie lists her occupation as "Former Miss Delaware" and I'm struggling to figure out exactly what that means. Does she sit in a car with an empty tank of gas and wave to no one now? Does she loiter outside of closed Piggy Wiggly's? Does she spend her days and nights hot glue gunning the loose rhinestones back onto her tiaras? I pride myself on being a somewhat smart whipper snapper, but I can't for the life of me figure out how "Former Miss Delaware" is an occupation. What all of this means, of course, is that Katie is yet another pageant girl (see Angie for pageant girl numero uno) on this brand spanking new season of Survivor.
Unless you're a pageant girl named Honey Boo Boo, I'm kind of not interested in you. I don't know. Is it just me or are you guys over the whole pageant bitches on reality shows "thing"? I have no problem with the casting of pretty girls. As a matter of fact, I quite like it. I'd much rather watch someone hot than someone with a face like a trout, but isn't there another resource we can pull from rather than the pageant circuit? How about strip clubs instead? I'd love a cast of strippers!
Alright so let's learn what we can about Katie. Her inspiration in life is Alice Wells. You're probably asking yourself, "Who the hell is Alice Wells?" Well, Alice was the first female police officer in the nation. *stares blankly* She paved the way for other females in the police force. *blinks* And that's why I don't like pageant girls. They give rehearsed preplanned stock answers like "Alice Wells". If this chick says she's playing Survivor for "world peace", we are really going to have a problem here.
Reading more on cbs.com, Katie doesn't like bitchy conceited girls at all and those are the girls she loves to beat in pageants. She also likes to run, work out, and travel. Finally, when asked why she wanted to be on Survivor, Katie replied, "To meet the guy of my dreams!" *places hot poker gingerly on crackling fire*
Oh, I can't wait to see this. Please to enjoy:
Alright, to her credit, I understand the Alice Wells thing now. And kudos to her for wanting to be a state trooper. I can step up and admit when I'm wrong. My apologies Katie. Another one of my favorite gals, Nina Acosta (Survivor: One World), was a police officer and she's a freaking hysterical bad ass. Maybe Katie isn't as bad as I thought... *presses play again*
Nope. I was right. I hit the nail on the head. She came SO close to having me do a complete 180, but she lost me with her plan to "lay back" and let other people do the talking. Why would I ever want to watch someone sit around and let others play the game? Stop casting people like this PLEASE! Is it so much to ask for 18 boisterous Type A go-getters? FFS, give me the casting tapes and I'll do it. You people (CBS casting people) clearly can't be trusted anymore. And did Katie just say, "I'm beautiful"? *stabs self in eye with hot poker*
Alright, so what do we think of Katie? Is she going to be another one of those that slips through to the end by being invisible? Comment it out bitches!

Lala, I agree with you. Enough with the pageant girls. Eye candy is good, but as you said how bout a smokin' hot stripper. The hot State Trooper thing is doing it for me, but we can easily find a stripper who does the State Trooper routine on stage.ReplyDelete
I just saw her EW.com interview linked above after the initial interview runs. You might do a 180 after watching that. She comes off more natural, funny and intelligent than the Survivor interview. For some reason, she is wearing a granny dress and floral top when meeting the other Survivors. She looks like she is dressing down her looks. Why do I find that look so hot? I am so sick.
