Easyriders magazine editor, Lou Kimsey, made a plea in issue #3, October 1971, for bikers to come together to fight impending restrictions by joining a new national organization called the National Custom Cycle Organization, but because of a conflict with the acronym the name was changed in February 1972 to A Brotherhood Against Totalitarian Enactments (ABATE). Easyriders began granting state charters around 1974, and Keith Ball was the original national coordinator (Keith was the Easyriders editor for many years).
ABATEs which came into existence around the same time were chartered in Kansas, Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, South Carolina and New York. Also started were the Modified Motorcycle Organization (MMA) of California, the MMA of Massachusetts, the New Hampshire Motorcycle Rights Organization, Rhode Island Motorcycle Association, Connecticut Motorcycle Rights Organization, and the Wisconsin Better Bikers Association. Easyriders published their contact information and soon the network began to grow.
Around this time biker author Bob Bitchin was granted the original charter for ABATE of California. Ron Roloff and others had already founded the MMA of California. It's interesting to note that Easyriders original name for their rights group was similar to MMAs because the bigger threat, aside from the original federal helmet mandates, was that the U.S. DOT was investigating ways to restrict modified or customized choppers which they deemed unsafe, especially due to extended forks. The 60s fad of ridiculously high sissy bars also came about because the government started requiring grab bars for passenger safety. Bikers of those days began flaunting the law by building them as long and as garishly as they could get away with.
As in most states, before bikers became politically organized, the clubs were the first to fight helmet laws and other restrictions. In the previous decade, before the MMA or ABATE came into existence, people like the Hells Angels M/C and Ralph Sonny Barger had succeeded in keeping California helmet-law free even though Congress had passed legislation in 1966, requiring every state to pass a helmet law or lose 10% of their federal highway funds (sound familiar?). Rumors still circulate around Sacramento about 1,000 Hells Angels on the Capitol lawn (well, it seemed like a thousand) and more HAs camped out on the doorsteps of legislative opponents. But the old intimidation tactics were beginning to wear thin, and club leaders realized that they needed to legitimize their efforts by creating a more sophisticated political lobbying arm, in this case the MMA of California.
Motorcycle helmet use bills were introduced in the California legislature in the early 70's, and the only individual who appeared in the committees to oppose them was Ron Roloff, who soon became the MMAs business manager and lobbyist. These bills never made it out of the committee, thanks to Rons persistence and the clubs opposition. Around this time, the American Motorcyclist Association (AMA) began to recognize the motorcyclist rights movement, and through the AMA news editor (and future AMA President) Ed Youngblood, they established the AMA Government Relations Department.
As the rights movement grew, Don Pittsley, a member of the Huns M/C in Connecticut, convinced Congressman Stewart McKinney to introduce H.R. 3869, a bill to end the federal authority to withhold highway funds from states without helmet laws. In July 1975, Rob Rasor of the AMA, Ron Roloff of the MMA and Ed Armstrong of ABATE presented the House Subcommittee of Surface Transportation with convincing testimony to repeal the mandates. Later that year, with California being sued by the U.S. DOT because Governor Ronald Reagan refused to comply with the federal mandate, Roloff helped convince California U.S. Senator Alan Cranston to offer the language of the mandate repeal bill as an amendment to 1975 Federal Highway Act, which passed with overwhelming support from the California Congressional delegation because of the impending lawsuit, and was signed by President Gerald Ford on May 5, 1975. Not bad for a bunch of rag-tag bikers with little or no previous political ambitions.
Back in California, the MMA grew under Roloffs leadership, but one of his top division managers, Deacon Dave Phillips, became disenchanted with the internal structure and envisioned a more democratic organization, which was more responsive to the membership by being run from the members up instead of from the leadership down. As the conflict peaked, Deacon broke away and, in 1981, was elected by the existing Board of ABATE of California to take over the founding charter from Bob Bitchin, who was doing little at the time to promote the organization. According to Deacon, the whole organization consisted of a small box of receipts and a list of a few dozen members.
He also inherited several debts incurred by the original ABATE, so he closed down the organization. Then using a $500 loan from an attorney named Richard Lester, he reincorporated the organization as ABATE in California, and the membership voted to change the acronym to American Brotherhood Aimed Towards Education. (Later, after the debts were paid off, Deacon changed the name back to ABATE of California.) Ron Roloff joined as one of the first new ABATE members, although Roloff and Deacon never reconciled their differences and the schism between ABATE and MMA grew wider.
Deacon was the first State Coordinator and, in accordance with the Articles of Incorporation, received an annual salary of $1.00 (one whole dollar) per year, still to this day the Executive Directors salary. Deacon also published the organizations first newsletters, which he claims were the sole purpose for ABATEs early existence to act as a source of information for the bikers, and disseminate relevant news from around the state and country. It wasnt until the childrens helmet law came into existence in 1985 that ABATE of California had a helmet law to fight. Thus ABATE of California became a politically active organization.
While Deacon paved the way, other leaders came forward. Rider John in Kern County, another MMA division manager from Orange County named Harry Roach, Dan and Rebbeca Boyd, Wheelchair Mike, Dresser Bill Drury, Billy Bob Bruce, Russ Brown, and later John Milky Loudermilk, James Gregory, Nancy Nemecek, Bob Mannah, Bill Bish and a host of others who helped the fledging organization grow. With a few successes under our belt and spurred by successful political rallies, ABATE attracted others like John Paliwoda, Paul Lax and Mike Osborn who, along with many other activists, helped build and nurture ABATE into the political force it is today. And while it took many years to mend the problems between ABATE and MMA, we now enjoy a rich and very cooperative relationship.
So there you have it. The roots of ABATE run deep in the hearts of those who accepted, and in turn passed on, the torch called Freedom of the Road. To all those who came before, we salute you. To our current leaders wondering where the future will lead us, remember that it's totally up to you!

In a meeting yesterday, somebody on the IRC shared links to "Re-identification of home addresses from spatial locations anonymized by Gaussian skew" and "Bregman divergences in the (m x k)-partitioning problem", from Science Digest. Sez the abstract of the latter,
A method of fixed cardinality partition is examined. This methodology can be applied on many problems, such as the confidentiality protection, in which the protection of confidential information has to be ensured, while preserving the information content of the data. The basic feature of the technique is to aggregate the data into m groups of small fixed size k, by minimizing Bregman divergences. It is shown that, in the case of non-uniform probability measures the groups of the optimal solution are not necessarily separated by hyperplanes, while with uniform they are. After the creation of an initial partition on a real data-set, an algorithm, based on two different Bregman divergences, is proposed and applied. This methodology provides us with a very fast and efficient tool to construct a near-optimum partition for the (m×k)-partitioning problem.
Keywords: Confidentiality; Data masking; Fixed cardinality partitioning; Fixed size micro-aggregation; Bregman divergences; Pythagorean property; Convex partition
What's extra wacky is that I actually spent time diving into this stuff, even though it's about forty thousand leagues over my head. Still, it was fun trying to remember all that math I barely learned too long ago.
As I recall, the highest grade I ever got in high school math was a C. That was in Geometry. (Hey, I'm a visual guy.) The only math course I took in college was Statistics. The teacher and I couldn't stand each other, and I dropped out, or thought I did. Turns out I was too late doing that and the guy gave me an F.
But I kept the book, which served me well years later when I was studying Arbitron's ratings for radio stations. To my surprise, I actually liked the subject, and used what I learned from the book to develop algorithms for factoring out seasonal variations in station AQH (average quarter hour) shares, to aid in predicting which stations would do what in the next "book". In addition to racking up billable hours for my company, and helping our client station sell advertising, I was able to win bets with friends in the radio business.
The biggest bet of all was that WFXC, the station with the weakest signal in the Raleigh-Durham metro, would kick ass in the first book after its programming went "urban" (that's radio talk for "black"). The math was easy. The market was about 40% black, and no other FM stations addressed that population.
I won. Foxy was #1 in its first book. (And it's still doing well, 2+ decades later.)
As it happens, WFXC "Foxy 107" (a name I suggested to the owners before they picked the call letters, though I don't know if I was the first to come up with that) was consulted at the time by Dean Landsman, whom I didn't know at the time. We became good friends years later when we both haunted the late Compuserve's late Broadcast Professionals Forum, which was run by Mary Lu Wehmeier, now a friend as well. She was the "Sysop" for that forum, where I occasionally came off the bench to help. Running the Sysop Forum was Jonathan Zittrain, who later helped found the Berkman Center, and now stars as a professor at Harvard Law School. Making things even more circular, Dean is now a valuable and diligent contributor to ProjectVRM. Dean, a closet math whiz, made a living for many years doing in-depth work around radio station ratings. I'll be he knows, or could puzzle out, the quoted text at the top of this post.
By the way, my nickname is the fossil remnant of a radio persona called "Doctor Dave", featured on WDBS, the prior incarnation of WFXC, which is still around (now with a somewhat better transmitter, and a second and much larger signal on another channel, covering the east side of the market). When I was there, in the mid-'70s, WDBS was owned by Duke University and had awful ratings to go with its awful signal. But it was a great little station. Still friends with folks from those days too.
Ah, I found the picture I was looking for, now at the top of this post. That was the WDBS staff in 1975, I'm guessing. I'm the guy with the wide tie and the narrow shoulders in the back row. There are many missing folks too. I'd love to follow this digressive path, but have too much work to do. At least I've left plenty of link and tag bait. 🙂

The Police in Dominica, after almost five hours of questioning, have released opposition United Workers Party (UWP) senator Dr. Thomson Fontaine.
He was first taken into custody by the police on Sunday February 12, 2017, around 2:00 pm and brought to Police Headquarters for questioning. He was released around 6:00 pm on that day with instructions to return at 9:00 am on February 13, 2017 for further questioning.
Moments after his release on Monday, Fontaine told jubilant and cheering supporters who had gathered and camped outside Police Headquarters, that the police are alleging he incited people to overthrow the Skerrit administration and he has denied the accusations.
Those assembled under the burning sun erupted in chats of "Skerrit must go, Skerrit must go…Skerrit must go" as he was released.
As he walked through the police erected barricade with his lawyer Gildon Richards, Dr. Fontaine raised both hands in the air as a sign of victory and told the people that he was released with "no charge."
"After some four to five hours of questioning, I was let go without any charge. There is nothing that this government has on me…these were all trumped up charges," he said.
He explained what took place.
"They first accused me of attempting to overthrown Roosevelt Skerrit; they accused me of paying people to burn places during the protest on February 7, 2017, without a shred of evidence. All those accusations were made against me…all false and they've decided that they have nothing to go on and so they released me without any charge," Dr. Fontaine stated.
He said that he adopted the same approach as he did the day before and answered no questions.
"They continued to ask me questions and I gave them no answers…I adopted the same stance of February 12, 2017 and refused to answer any of the questions posed to me…I told them I was not guilty of any charge and was not going to answer to any questions," he remarked.
Fontaine also said he will be reviewing his legal options since the accusations are severe.
"It cannot be that the government can tarnish your good name in the international community. It cannot be the government can accuse me of something I know absolutely nothing about," he remarked.

Appropriate attire at synagogue?Permanent link
I was going to write about my Top 10 list for fall clothes and accessories and discuss some of the amazing, plush leather handbags, etc., that are on my radar. But, after attending High Holiday services, I thought it appropriate to switch gears. For both Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur services, I couldn't help but notice the completely inappropriate attire of the tween females in attendance.
When I was in middle school and high school attending services with my parents, it was understood that although I could still be fashionable, I must be appropriate. (After all, I'm sure all of us ladies have noticed that the aisle between the pews can turn into quite the little catwalk before the Rabbi approaches the bimah.) When I was a pre-teen, I wore dresses or skirts that hit at the knee with flats or low heels and an appropriate blouse or sweater. I always wanted to look my best, and I stayed on trend, but my mother taught me the importance of respecting the synagogue as a place of worship and sophistication and I respected this concept and dressed with that in mind.
Now, I shouldn't make a blanket statement about every tween female, as I'm sure many of them were dressed just fine at synagogue, but I have to say, I didn't notice the appropriately dressed ones because I was utterly distracted by the spandex micro miniskirts, slouchy off the shoulder sweaters, distressed leather ankle booties, and tangled waves of hair. These girls literally looked like they walked out of an Urban Outfitters or Free People catalogue and were about to go to an indie concert in a bar (I know, ironic because they are not even old enough to go into a bar). If I was their mother, I don't know if I would feel comfortable with my 12, 13, 14 or 15 year old wearing an outfit like this to the mall, let alone synagogue.
I have noticed this issue in years past, and never approved, but this fashion epidemic was particularly bad this year. I'm pretty sure that a black miniskirt with red sequins down each side is not meant for synagogue, or really most places, minus the club or the street corner. I am a huge advocate for girls learning at an early age the importance of empowerment through fashion and developing a personal sense of style, but I also believe this should be filtered and modified depending on the occasion. I also understand that middle school and high school are places where being "cool" and "fitting in" are major priorities, and these girls knew they would probably see a few classmates at synagogue, so they wanted to make sure they're wearing whatever is "in," but can't this happen in a way that is tasteful and appropriate?
What are your thoughts? Did you notice this at services this year too? I like to think I'm hip, although I usually lean conservative in my attire, but am I completely out of touch or overreacting?

Former U.S. Army Capt. Linda L. Bray says her male superiors were incredulous upon hearing she had ably led a platoon of military police officers through a firefight during the 1989 invasion of Panama.
Former U.S. Army Capt. Linda L. Bray says her male superiors were incredulous upon hearing she had ably led a platoon of military police officers through a firefight during the 1989 invasion of Panama.
Instead of being lauded for her actions, the first woman in U.S. history to lead male troops in combat said higher-ranking officers accused her of embellishing accounts of what happened when her platoon bested an elite unit of the Panamanian Defense Force. After her story became public, Congress fiercely debated whether she and other women had any business being on the battlefield.
The Pentagon's longstanding prohibition against women serving in ground combat ended Thursday, when Defense Secretary Leon Panetta announced that most combat roles jobs will now be open to female soldiers and Marines. Panetta said women are integral to the military's success and will be required to meet the same physical standards as their male colleagues.
"I'm so thrilled, excited. I think it's absolutely wonderful that our nation's military is taking steps to help women break the glass ceiling," said Bray, 53, of Clemmons, N.C. "It's nothing new now in the military for a woman to be right beside a man in operations."

The end of the ban on women in combat comes more than 23 years after Bray made national news and stoked intense controversy after her actions in Panama were praised as heroic by Marlin Fitzwater, the spokesman for then-President George H.W. Bush.
Bray and 45 soldiers under her command in the 988th Military Police Company, nearly all of them men, encountered a unit of Panamanian special operations soldiers holed up inside a military barracks and dog kennel.
Her troops killed three of the enemy and took one prisoner before the rest were forced to flee, leaving behind a cache of grenades, assault rifles and thousands of rounds of ammunition, according to Associated Press news reports published at the time. The Americans suffered no casualties.
Citing Bray's performance under fire as an example, Rep. Patricia Schroeder, D-Colo., introduced a bill to repeal the law that barred female U.S. military personnel from serving in combat roles.
But the response from the Pentagon brass was less enthusiastic.
"The responses of my superior officers were very degrading, like, `What were you doing there?'" Bray said. "A lot of people couldn't believe what I had done, or did not want to believe it. Some of them were making excuses, saying that maybe this really didn't happen the way it came out."
Schroder's bill died after top generals lobbied against the measure, saying female soldiers just weren't up to the physical rigors of combat.
"The routine carrying of a 120-pound rucksack day in and day out on the nexus of battle between infantrymen is that which is to be avoided and that's what the current Army policy does," Gen. M.R. Thurman, then the head of the U.S. Southern Command, testified before the Senate Armed Services Committee.
For Bray, the blowback got personal.
The Army refused to grant her and other female soldiers who fought on the ground in Panama the Combat Infantryman Badge. She was awarded the Army Commendation Medal for Valor, an award for meritorious achievement in a non-combat role.
Bray was also the subject of an Army investigation over allegations by Panamanian officials that she and her soldiers had destroyed government and personal property during the invasion that toppled Panamanian dictator Manuel Noriega.
Though eventually cleared of any wrongdoing, the experience soured Bray on the Army. In 1991, she resigned her commission after eight years of active duty and took a medical discharge related to a training injury.
Today's military is much different from the one Bray knew, with women already serving as fighter pilots, aboard submarines and as field supervisors in war zones. But some can't help but feel that few know of their contributions, said Alma Felix, 27, a former Army specialist.
"We are the support. Those are the positions we fill and that's a big deal – we often run the show – but people don't see that," Felix said. "Maybe it will put more females forward and give people a sense there are women out there fighting for our country. It's not just you're typical poster boy, GI Joes doing it."
Spc. Heidi Olson, a combat medic, received a Purple Heart for injuries she suffered when an IED exploded in Afghanistan last May.
"It makes it official now," Olson said. "We don't have to do the back door way of getting out into a combat zone."

SCA 2006 Yosemite National Park
The best ideas are often inspired by nature. Mine came to me while I served as an SCA intern at Yosemite. SCA enabled me to understand the connection between myself and my impact on the land. Interning at Yosemite, I gained skills and grew my confidence to the point where I could not only change my planet-harming behaviors, but help others change theirs too.

T-Mobile can breathe a sigh of relief: After an initial show of reluctance by MetroPCS Communication investors, 80 percent approved its sale to T-Mobile at a special shareholder meeting held on Wednesday.
T-Mobile reportedly sweetened its bid for the company to bring on board those shareholders who felt the original offer undervalued MetroPCS.
Under the deal, MetroPCS shareholders will receive a 26 percent stake in the combined company with T-Mobile's parent, Deutsche Telekom, owning the rest. MetroPCS shareholders will receive US$4.06 per share in cash as well.
To nudge along disgruntled shareholders, Deutsche Telekom enhanced the equity in the proposed combined company by reducing its debt by $3.8 billion, bringing it to $11.2 billion. It also agreed to lower T-Mobile's debt by half a percentage point.
The combined company will have a value of about $16 billion and support some 43 million devices.
The deal is expected to close on April 30. It has already received the necessary regulatory approvals.
Shaking Up the Mobile Market
When T-Mobile and MetroPCS unveiled their plan to merge last October, they claimed the tie-up would create a "bigger, better, bolder" wireless provider with "expanded scale, spectrum and resources" to compete.
Even though these lower-tier providers are competitors, few viewed their merger as a competitive issue. Instead, it is largely seen as a transaction that will add a viable fourth top-tier player to the wireless market.
Nor is this is the end of the story line for wireless providers' place in the world. Other deals are still cooking — such as the rival bidding for Sprint Nextel by SoftBank and Dish Network. There could even be room for further consolidation between the company that loses the bid for Sprint and T-Mobile-MetroPCS.
In the end, it may be that the T-Mobile-MetroPCS merger's greatest significance will be its impact on the industry and not on the companies' individual shareholders, said Covestor Model Manager Mark A. Holder.
Both AT&T and Verizon "were in the process of creating a virtual duopoly that allowed for lower capital spending until Sprint and T-Mobile made these deals," he told the E-Commerce Times.
The T-Mobile deal will give it a potential lead in building out an advanced 5G/LTE network, Holder continued.
"This might give T-Mobile an initial lead, but ultimately the financial resources of the big players will lead to another arms race that neither company will end up winning," he speculated.
Mobile's True Potential
While continued market jockeying is no doubt to be expected, both the T-Mobile-MetroPCS merger and the one brewing at Sprint are necessary to achieve the true potential of mobility, said Ritch Blasi, SVP of mobile and wireless at Comunicano.
"The consolidation of assets — especially networks and spectrum — is the main driver of continued growth for the players left standing — but more importantly for customers who don't want to be limited to the kind of services and applications they can or can't use except on WiFi," he told the E-Commerce Times.
Once the networks are combined, which will take some time, Blasi said, Deutsche Telecom will have a much more expansive footprint to offer its domestic and international customers.
Indeed, when T-Mobile and MetroPCS first unveiled their proposed deal, they promised it would deliver greater network coverage, including 4G and deeper LTE in many markets. It would also allow the combined company to introduce more value-add offerings such as hotspots and pay-as-you-go and no-contract monthly plans.
For business customers, this translates into a level competitive playing field, Blasi said, and for consumers, it means a stronger alternative to the other three U.S. carriers.

Emanuel Lasker
Dr. Emanuel Lasker was the second world chess champion as well as the longest reigning champion of all time (twenty seven years). A mathematician, philosopher, and author, Lasker had one of the greatest minds and longest careers in the history of the game. Emanuel Lasker was born on December 24, 1868 in Berlinchen Prussia, what is now Barlinek, Poland. At the age of eleven he sent to Berlin to live with his older brother, Berthold, and attend school. Berthold, who was a strong chess master, taught the young Emanuel the game and its strategies. Emanuel Lasker began playing frequently at Café Kaiserhof, some say for small stakes that would supplement his income. In 1889 Lasker won Café Kaiserhof's annual tournament starting what would be an epic chess career.
In the early 1890's Lasker would solidify himself as one of the world's finest chess players and assert himself as a world title contender. He won several tournaments throughout Europe including two strong tournaments in London in 1892. In 1893, Lasker would travel to the United States where he would spend the next couple of years. At the New York Tournament of 1893, Lasker would put on a show, going a perfect 13 wins (zero draws and zero losses). Lasker also displayed total dominance in match-play chess over some of the world's greatest veterans of the day such as Henry Edward Bird, Joseph Henry Blackburne and Jacques Mieses.
In 1894 Lasker secured a world championship match against the current and only world title holder, Wilhelm Stenitz. The match took place in three venues: New York, Montreal, and Philadelphia. Lasker decisively won the match 12 to 7, becoming the second formal World Chess Champion. Some three years later in their rematch for the title, Lasker once again defeated Steinitz and retained his crown, this time 12 ½ to 4 ½ . For the next twenty some years, Emanuel Lasker would remain world chess champion. He would become the most dominant player the game had ever known, defending his title many times and finishing at or near the top at several strong tournaments. He defended his title against Frank Marshall in 1907, crushing him 11 ½ to 3 ½. In 1908 Lasker defeated his bitter rival Seigbert Tarrasch with a score of 10 ½ to 5 ½. He would follow this up the next year with title defenses against Dawid Janowski and Carl Schlechter in 1910. In 1914, he finished second in possibly the strongest tournament ever assembled in St. Petersburg, Russia. Lasker would even score a win against eventual tournament winner the up and coming Cuban master, Jose Capablanca. This was the last major tournament that was held for several years as soon the Great War would begin.

December 24, 1868
January 11, 1941
Peak Rating
In 1921, Lasker would face Jose Raul Capablanca for his world championship title. At 53, Lasker was past his prime, but still arguably the world's best player. The younger Capablanca was a talent the likes of which the chess world had never seen. Lasker could not win a single game and eventually resigned the match. Amazingly this was Lasker's first and only loss in match play. After 27 long dominant years, Emanuel Lasker's world championship reign had come to an end. While Lasker would never go on to play another match, he would continue to play in international tournaments with strong results into his late sixties. He would score an impressive result in 1935 in Moscow, finishing undefeated and ½ point off from first place.
Lasker died at the age of 72 on January 11, 1941 in New York City. He had lived an accomplished life not without its struggles on and off the board. Being a Jew, he escaped persecution from the Nazis during World War II. This forced him to come out of retirement to support his family. His playing style was bold. His attacks were impeccably conducted and he defended tenaciously. Dr. Lasker was a fighter on and off the board. He was keenly aware of the importance of psychology, often changing his play to match the style of his opponent. His legacy is not only the longest reigning world champion of all time, but as a brilliant mind and one of the greatest contributors to the game of chess. He was not only a chess champion, but a scientist and intellectual. His chess career bridged the gap of generations from Wilhelm Steinitz to Mikhail Botvinik.
Some Famous Lasker Quotes:
"When you see a good move, look for a better one."
"To find the right plan is just as hard as looking for its sound justification."

How To: Install a Tongue-and-Groove Ceiling
For a traditional look either indoors or out on the porch, why not install a tongue-and-groove ceiling? Follow these simple guidelines to achieve pro-quality results.
Here's a way to install a tongue-and-groove ceiling without damaging the wood. Set a board in place. Then with a scrap piece of tongue-and-groove stock as a block, give the board a firm tap. This forces the tongue tightly into the groove. Using finish nails, secure the backboard in place. All the tongues remain intact and undamaged if you use a block.

I have a new theory -- that the most dangerous circumstances for individual liberty in this country are when Conservatives and Liberals agree. When there is some issue where the authoritarianism of the right coincides with the authoritarianism of the left, then watch out. The example I offer today is child molestation prosecutions, where the law and order Right meets the smug for-the-children moralizing of the Left. Where Janet Reno meets Joe Arpaio.
Congrats to Tonya Craft for her acquittal, and here's hoping (though there is not much chance) that the prosecutors and particularly that jackass of a judge suffer some sort of negative consequences from their outlandish abuse of due process. My jury experience on a similar case here.
Update: And speaking of Sheriff Joe...

PISCATAWAY, N.J. -- Rutgers University has apologized after turning students away from a career fair for wearing the wrong colored clothing.
NJ.com reports that Rutgers Business School issued a formal apology in a statement on Thursday for barring students from entering a job fair who wore attire that violated a new dress code. The stringent new policy forbids blue suits, colored shirts, brown shoes and other attire.
An online student petition prompted an apology from the school.
Administrators say the dress code change was in response to students who did not dress properly in past years. Senior Associate Dean Martin Markowitz says the school did not permit blue to avoid confusion with different shades.
Rutgers says it will help students who were turned away get in contact with recruiters.

Hello Sandwich in Japanese 'GIRLS ZINE' book!
Sandwiches! Weee I am finally allowed to announce that I was lucky enough to be one of four zine makers interviewed in this brand new Japanese Girls Zine book on sale September 27th!
Girls Zine is published by amazing Japanese book publishers BNN. BNN was founded in Tokyo in 1985 and since then they have published more than a thousand books and magazines specialising in graphic design. I was so thrilled when they asked me to be part of this project because I had been collecting many of their design, craft and pattern books for years! I bought this inspiring 'Handmade Graphics' book just a few days before I was asked to be in the Girls Zine book! Actually when I received the email I was jumping up and down around my mini-me apartment!
Zines are reasonably new here in Tokyo, and Girls Zine is the first Japanese book exploring this exciting medium. I am yet to receive my advance copies of the book but I hear that book includes interviews with zine stockists and zine creators as well as other interesting information about the world of zines!
The photoshoot at my apartment was such fun and the editorial team are perhaps the most lovely people you will ever meet. I felt terrible though because I didn't have four spare pairs of guest slippers for the team to wear inside my apartment!
Thank you lovely BNN for including me!
Love Love

I remember growing up as a little boy, I would walk into the kitchen, reach up to my mom's spice rack, and grab that canister of Bac-Os. Yeah, even in the 1970s, they had Bac-Os. I would pour a handful, and pop them into my mouth just for the enjoyment of snacking. Why didn't they make Bac-Os into larger pieces, and just sell them as snacks?
Maybe that's the demographic that Bacon Freak has identified with their product offering, Bacon Jerky. It's real strips of bacon, but flavored with jerky-like seasonings, and chewy like real jerky. The idea actually, is not that far off from standard beef jerky in terms of being meat, it's method of cure, and its size and shape. But beef jerky is supposed to be ultra lean to keep it from spoiling, and it's supposed to be dry. Yet these days, just about anything is getting turned into jerky.
The brand is actually owned by Coastal Vineyards, Inc., headed up by Rocco "Boss Hog" Loosbrock, who started the business offering "wine of the month" clubs, and eventually branching it out to several food subscription clubs, including a "bacon of the month". The bacon club proved popular, and Loosbrock responded by putting more emphasis into the bacon theme, eventually introducing this line of bacon jerky.
Cured with: salt, sugar, brown sugar, sodium nitrite.
Coated with: cajun seasoning
Ingredients: spices (black pepper, red pepper, celery seed, bay, oregano, basil, thyme), paprika, dehydrated onion, dehydrated garlic.
The first taste I get from the surface is a classic bacon flavor and a good deal of saltiness, as well as some of the bacon fat flavor. I can also pick up the cajun seasonings, and the spices. Moving into the chew, that classic bacon flavor becomes much stronger, followed by more saltiness, and picking up the rear is the natural meat flavor.
So what does cajun style bacon taste like? Well first off, I'm not really sure what "cajun" is supposed to taste like anyways. All I know is that it should be "spicy", with perhaps some garlic. After that, I've seen all kinds of variations being called "cajun". This particular bacon jerky does have a moderate amount of spiciness to it. I can feel a spicy tingle in the back of my mouth. But it's not that hot really, probably mild-medium in terms of burn, or maybe just medium for delicate tongues.
I do, however, taste the spices. The oregano and garlic seems to have a good showing in this. This bacon could probably pass as a "spicy italian" jerky. Between the cajun seasoning and the spices, there's a lot of flavor complexity in this.
As for the bacon itself, again, I get a lot of bacony taste. It has a more old-fashioned flavor, if you know what I mean. It's very smoky too. I've pretty much have always had standard grocery store bacon, thinly sliced, so I'm not sure I'm qualifed to judge bacon. Fathers Country Hams, who manfactures this for Bacon Freak, has been in the business of making ham and bacon since 1840, so they obviously know how bacon was made in the old days. I think this is actually what "real bacon" tastes like.
That saltiness is actually quite strong in this. It's even more strong than the standard grocery store bacon. Note that this product does not come with a nutrition facts label. The bacony flavor and the seasonings are delicious enough that I find myself ignoring the heavy salt in deference to my internal bacon instincts.
Overall, it's that old fashioned style of bacony goodness that dominates the flavor of this jerky, with salt being a close second, followed by the cajun seasonings and spices. I find this jerky very enjoyable, mostly because I love bacon to begin with, and I love jerky, and I love spicy stuff.
Meat Consistency
These is real bacon, sliced average in terms of jerky, but sliced thick for bacon, and in strips of about 4-5 inches in length.
Being that it's real bacon, it's very moist, or should I say, very oily. There's plenty of fat, just like you'd expect with bacon. This actually chews like jerky, not necessarily like bacon. That is, it's chewy similar to the chewiness of a Jack Link's jerky. Even the fat is chewy, though much more soft than the meat.
In my mouth, the fat eventually melts away into a tongueful of oil and leaves behind the pork belly meat. The meat eats and chews like real pork meat. The strips can present some resistance when trying to bite off a piece. One strip required me to bite down, and twist left-and-right a few times to before it separated, which is perhaps what you might expect with beef jerky. But overall, this bacon jerky still has a degree of ease in tearing down, and chewing.
But as expected, it's messy. My fingers are doused with oil and bits of spice, requiring some finger licking with each bite.
Product Value
Bacon Freak sells this Cajun variety of bacon jerky at a price of $9.95 for a 2 ounce package. That works out to a price of $4.98 per ounce, putting this into the very expensive price range.
For general jerky snacking purposes, it makes for a very expensive snack, though it'll please you in every other way, being packed with flavor, giving you every bit of bacon satisfaction and more, relatively easy to eat, all in a portable form factor that lends itself to being enjoyed anywhere at anytime. It's a good value only because you can't find bacon jerky anywhere else.
As a cajun variety, I'd say it provides an ok value, but only because of its high price. It does have a cajuny resemblance, and does provide a low-to-moderate degree of mouth burn. It's too much for me to pay just for a cajun-flavored meat snack, but when you consider its a cajun-flavored bacon snack, it perhaps changes everything.
I'm giving this a best rating.
It's pretty hard to deny the taste of bacon as making an awesome snack, particularly if we're talking about real bacon strips in all of its smoky, salty, oily goodness. I've already seen bacon-flavored potato chips and bacon-flavored dips, but I don't think I've seen real strips of bacon being packaged up as a snack. What makes its cool is that it combines jerky-style seasonings in jerky-like consistency.
I found this particular cajun variety to be packed with flavor, and presenting enough flavor complexity to keep my brain entertained. Not only is it dominated by an old-fashioned flavored bacon taste with its saltiness and smokiness, but backed up with a moderate hotness, some noticeable garlic, oregano, and a collection of other tastes that add to the ambiance.
Even at the higher price per ounce, I'd recommend every jerky aficionado give this a try.
As for a good beer companion, I think a creamy stout would make a good contrast.

Asia Jackson likes to learn at the computer because she can work at her own pace, which is usually faster than her classmates'. Al-Tariq Linton says, "It's one on one. If I have a question, instead of competing for the teacher's attention, I can go back and read it on my own." Wanda Williams says her favorite part of the online course she's taking is the narrator of the videos it includes. "Rufus made it funny," she says. "It was fun."
As interest in online education rages, these 17- and 18-year-old students at Newark, N.J.'s West Side High are guinea pigs in a global experiment to answer a key but surprisingly elusive question: whether and when it actually works.
Evidence is mixed about how well online courses teach core subjects such as science, math or reading, with a recent large-scale Columbia study showing disadvantages to online learning for community college students. (The study was done at Columbia's Teachers College, which is also home to The Hechinger Report, producer of this story.) But new research shows that, in certain topics—as for these students in Newark—computer-based instruction is not only just as effective as the old-fashioned, in-person kind. It's more effective.
These topics include sex, drugs, and health—subjects in which privacy, personal comfort and customized information are especially important, and embarrassment or cultural taboos can get in the way of classroom teaching.
Simple video- and animation-based interactive courses in these disciplines turn out to be good ways of teaching subjects you may have giggled through in health class. And they're increasingly being used all over the world with success now confirmed by peer-reviewed, controlled research. The results are important as online education continues to expand faster than its impact and effectiveness can be fully measured.
"We're seeing significant and large effects on attitudes, knowledge, and also behaviors" from online courses in nontraditional subjects, says Marco Gonzalez-Navarro, an assistant professor at the University of Toronto who coauthored one study of the subject.
Gonzalez-Navarro, working with researchers at Yale and the University of Ottawa, found that Colombian students in an 11-week online course in safer sex created by Profamilia, part of the International Planned Parenthood Federation, knew more about safer sex practices than students who took the conventional, state-mandated health class. And their knowledge was put into practice. For every 68 students who took the online course instead of the traditional course, researchers estimated by reviewing students' medical records and comparing them to those of peers who didn't take the course, up to two sexually transmitted infections were prevented. The students were also 10 percentage points more likely than their counterparts to redeem vouchers for free condoms offered six months later.
It's not just that students often feel embarrassed to talk about sex in conventional classrooms, the researchers found. Teachers don't like teaching about it, making them less effective—assuming they even broach the topic.
Related stories
"A lot of teachers are just not comfortable teaching these subjects," says Gonzalez-Navarro "The central education ministry might say you have to give this sex-ed course, but it's not happening."
Another series of independent research studies has confirmed the effectiveness of online education about alcohol awareness in the United States. In the largest, the researchers found a short-term reduction in harmful behaviors related to drinking among college freshmen at 15 colleges who took an online course called AlcoholEdu. Similar studies at the University of West Florida and at Villanova, and Roger Williams found similar results.
AlcoholEdu is produced by EverFi, a venture-funded startup backed by a group of high-profile Silicon Valley investors including Amazon's Jeff Bezos, Google's Eric Schmidt and Twitter's Evan Williams. In addition to alcohol education, EverFi offers animation, video, and game-based courses in sexual violence awareness, financial literacy, and digital citizenship, reaching 69 of the nation's largest 100 school districts, and 33 percent of the nation's incoming freshmen.
Five and a half million students have already completed EverFi courses, according to CEO Tom Davidson, each of which includes eight to 10 hours of instruction. Some are used as part of for-credit courses while others are woven into freshman orientation.
"You can't get your dorm key at NYU until you do our sexual violence prevention course," says Davidson.
The NIH-funded study of the company's online alcohol-awareness course found that it was most effective when more freshmen took the class at the same time, suggesting that peer pressure plays a role—though the results had dissipated by the spring semester, meaning more follow-up was needed.
Other ongoing research supports the use of online courses for sex education. Students in China, India, and South Africa who completed an online sex-education program called TeachAIDS were 91 percent more knowledgeable about HIV than before they took the course, compared to an improvement of 73 percent for students who were taught the conventional, state-mandated curriculum.
TeachAIDS became a nonprofit in 2009. It was founded by Piya Sorcar and her husband, Shuman Ghosemajumder, who had spent six years in high-level jobs at Google, along with several others. In her Stanford dissertation, Sorcar had examined the role of cultural taboos in dealing with issues of sexual and reproductive health in India.
"Sex education has been banned in some states in India," she says. "There have been incidents of teachers burning curricular material in the streets." In Andhra Pradesh, a state with a population of 85 million, HIV-positive students have been expelled.
Sorcar set out to create a curriculum for HIV/AIDS that would be both culturally acceptable and scientifically rigorous, and that would attack social stigmas by showing what AIDS is, how the virus is transmitted, and how to protect against it.
The TeachAIDS course combines a 20 to 25-minute animated video with interactive quizzes. So far, she said, it has been produced in 15 languages and used in 74 countries. For added appeal and to make it more relatable for young people, each country and region features likenesses of and voiceovers by local celebrities. In Botswana, the program stars a hip-hop artist named Scar, who hosts the TV show Idols East Africa; in India, it features Shabana Azmi, an award-winning Hindi actress.
"Our culture doesn't talk about love or what comes out of it," says Tristha Ramamurthy, who uses the TeachAIDS curriculum with seventh through 12th-graders in a network of private schools she oversees in Bangalore, India. "We have arranged marriages—we're very caste-driven. Sex itself is very uncomfortable to talk about, and in school it's not taught."
What makes the TeachAIDS material acceptable to her students, Ramamurthy says, is the use of culturally specific euphemisms. For example, a honeymoon suite and two lovebirds kissing suggests intercourse; images of a woman holding a baby stand in for childbirth.
There are downsides to using online courses to cover health topics. Both the software and the hardware cost money, and funding is often a problem in schools worldwide. TeachAIDS' video-based course has been projected on a wall in villages in Nepal, and shown on outdoor screens in Rwanda in between World Cup soccer matches, which extends the program's reach, but sacrifices the advantages of interactivity and privacy. Even at West Side High in Newark, Everfi had to provide a version of the course loaded on a jump drive, because the school had problems with its Internet connection.
EverFi licenses its material to colleges for a fee, but public schools like West Side High can get it free with the backing of corporate or local business underwriters, which have included the National Basketball Association and Capital One bank. The sponsorships, which can include prizes and giveaways, are seen by some critics as an unwelcome intrusion of business into the classroom.
Nor do any of these courses constitute a hands-off, digital-only solution. The learning effects are strongest in most cases when the programs are used as part of for-credit courses, with teachers in the room to guide and motivate students, and when students take the courses together. And companies like EverFi need to provide ongoing support and professional development for teachers.
But the need for easy-to-use, compelling resources to cover topics that teenagers are not all that eager to discuss with adults is likely to grow, opening more markets to organizations such as EverFi and TeachAIDS.
EverFi is already expanding its offerings. And TeachAIDS is being adopted as part of the official high-school curriculum in Karnataka, an Indian state with a population of 60 million, and plans to grow to 50 countries with 90 percent of the world's HIV cases by 2018.
"We see such a need for these 'everything else' areas outside the core curriculum," Davidson says of the apparent effectiveness of using online education in this way, and continued research into it. "New mandates are coming down at the state level, and schools are having trouble getting their arms around them. This is a model that we're following with the development of all our courses: develop, test, redevelop."

Triangle2007 Action/Adventure | Suspense/Thriller
Three maestro Chinese action directors - Ringo Lam, Tsui Hark and Johnny To - co-helm the adventure saga Triangle. The film actually constitutes a film serial, divided into thirds, with each filmmaker responsible for one episode. Three drinking buddies, Fai, Sam and Mok are visited one dark and stormy night by a strange old man who dazzles them with the tale of an ancient treasure. The artifact in question - worth untold amounts of money - lies buried beneath an almost impenetrable government facility. The retrieval mission is theirs, if they wish to accept it, and if they can claim the treasure, they get to keep it. Indeed, the loot - a magnificent robe of interwoven golden strands, its monetary value inestimable - outstrips everyone's expectations. But in time, the friends' greed and selfishness begin to overshadow their considerations of loyalty, trust and friendship.~ Nathan Southern, All Movie Guide

Louboutin and Yves Saint Laurent's Trademark Update
Louboutin and Yves Saint Laurent's Trademark Update
The sage continues, but this time the brawl between the two high-end fashion titans takes place in the United States Patent and Trademark Office. Back in September of 2012, the Second Circuit issued an important fact-specific ruling in regards to Christian Louboutin's trademark covering the red sole of their shoe in that protection will remain only when the red outsole is contrasted with the "upper" of the shoe. The opinion stems from the affirmation of the district court's denial of Louboutin's motion for a preliminary injunction against Yves Saint Laurent (YSL). The Second Circuit specifically found that "it is the contrast between the sole and upper that causes the sole to 'pop', and to distinguish [Louboutin as] its creator." So what follows is that Louboutin may have limited or no rights in the red sole by itself or when the sole and upper do not contrast.
Now Louboutin's trademark U.S. Reg. 3,361,597 for the trade dress below is in a tug-of-war between the parties as to what the modified description of the mark should be following the Court's Mandate to the USPTO to clarify the description consistent with the Court's decision.
Following the Second Circuit's ruling, the USPTO proposed the following "…The mark consists of a lacquered red outsole on footwear that contrasts with the color of the adjoining remaining portion of the shoe (known as the 'upper')." Louboutin shot back with what YSL argues is a dramatically "broaden scope of Louboutin's rights." Namely, Louboutin requests that the "mark consists of a lacquered red outsole on footwear that contrasts with the color of any visible portion of the shoe." YSL's main contention is with Louboutin's deletion of the term "upper" which is replaced by "any visible portion of the shoe". Slight difference? Maybe, but trademark law is all about the nuances, and this nuance YSL argues, will have a serious anti-competitive effect. The parties have been duking out this point during the beginning of February with no end in sight as of yet.

Giuliani rejects $10 million from Saudi prince
NEW YORK (CNN) -- Mayor Rudy Giuliani said Thursday the city would not accept a $10 million donation for disaster relief from Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal after the prince suggested U.S. policies in the Middle East contributed to the September 11 attacks.
"I entirely reject that statement," Giuliani said. "There is no moral equivalent for this [terrorist] act. There is no justification for it. The people who did it lost any right to ask for justification for it when they slaughtered 4,000 or 5,000 innocent people."
Prince Alwaleed gave the mayor a check after a Thursday morning memorial service at Ground Zero, the site of the World Trade Center towers destroyed in the attacks.
The prince offered his condolences to the people of New York, but after the ceremony he released a statement suggesting the United States "must address some of the issues that led to such a criminal attack."
"The check has not been deposited. The Twin Towers Fund has not accepted it," Giuliani said in a statement late Thursday.
The prince's statement said the United States "should re-examine its policies in the Middle East and adopt a more balanced stand toward the Palestinian cause.
"While the U.N. passed clear resolutions numbered 242 and 338 calling for the Israeli withdrawal from the West Bank and Gaza Strip decades ago, our Palestinian brethren continue to be slaughtered at the hands of Israelis while the world turns the other cheek," the statement said.
Giuliani flatly rejected the prince's position. "To suggest that there's a justification for [the terrorist attacks] only invites this happening in the future," he said. "It is highly irresponsible and very, very dangerous.
"And one of the reasons I think this happened is because people were engaged in moral equivalency in not understanding the difference between liberal democracies like the United States, like Israel, and terrorist states and those who condone terrorism.
"So I think not only are those statements wrong, they're part of the problem," Giuliani said.

Johnny Depp (above) and Tom Waits storm through Berkeley The Facebook "Likes" counter on this story ground to a halt when it hit 1,000, proving that even in Berkeley we are not immune to the fun of a little celebrity watching.
Quakes, and then more quakes A total of four earthquakes rattled Berkeley on Thursday, two of them relatively big ones. Thankfully, there were no reports of injuries or damage, but they served as a timely reminder that nature has the upper hand, and that preparation is key.
Andronico's to shutter University Avenue store After our report that the Berkeley-founded grocery chain was to be bought out of bankruptcy, it was perhaps not surprising that consolidation would follow. However, readers expressed concern about the fate of the store's employees.
How can downtown Berkeley be improved? Berkeleyside readers have no shortage of opinions on how the heart of our city could be made more inviting. There is still time to have your say by completing the Downtown Berkeley Association survey.
Firestorm Special We ended the week with the last in our series of articles to mark the 20th anniversary of the 1991 Oakland-Berkeley firestorm. We published a total of 11 stories, including an interview with Berkeley Fire Chief Debra Pryor, the story of how the fire inspired the creation of The Sims, and tips on emergency preparedness. But most of our coverage was in the form of contributions from Berkeleyside readers. See the full series here.
We hear many different reasons why people read Berkeleyside: to keep up with the news, to marvel at the work of the extraordinary photographers who contribute to the site, to enter the fray of the comments. If you value Berkeleyside, please donate or subscribe. Your support will help us continue to improve our coverage of Berkeley.

Ugandan pop star charged with treason
Kyagulanyi Ssentamu, known as Bobi Wine, has been a strong critic of the president
The Ugandan government has filed a charge of treason against a pop star-turned-lawmaker who has emerged as a major critic of the long-serving president and whose jailing drew outrage from top musicians around the world.
Kyagulanyi Ssentamu, popularly known as Bobi Wine, was visibly weak and struggled to walk into court from what his lawyer said was a severe beating while in custody. The government denied it.
It was the first time Ssentamu had been seen in public since he was detained on Aug. 13, and he clenched his fists as he greeted supporters. A colleague wrapped a scarf in the colours of Uganda's national flag around his shoulders.
The 36-year-old was arrested with other lawmakers while campaigning for a candidate. He was charged with illegal possession of firearms for his alleged role in an incident in which the motorcade of President Yoweri Museveni was pelted with stones.
Ssentamu, who was elected to parliament last year, has emerged as an influential critic of Museveni, especially among many educated youth who cannot find work in Uganda, where hospitals often lack basic medicines, and main roads are dangerously potholed.
In his music video Freedom, he sings from behind bars: "We are fed up with those who oppress our lives."
He has protested an unpopular social media tax as well as a change to the constitution that removed the presidential age limit of 75. That provision allows the 74-year-old Museveni, who has been in power since 1986, to seek re-election in 2021.
The arrest sparked protests demanding his release in the capital, Kampala, and elsewhere. Scores of people were detained as security forces cracked down on demonstrators. Dozens of top musicians, including Angelique Kidjo, Chris Martin, Chrissie Hynde and Brian Eno, signed a letter demanding Ssentamu's release. A social media campaign to #FreeBobiWine was launched.
In Kampala's Kisekka Market area on Thursday, protesters held posters of Ssentamu, praising him as the "People's Voice."
Demonstrations also took place in Nairobi and London.
A military court in the northern town of Gulu dropped the weapons charges, but Ssentamu was quickly rearrested, taken to a magistrate's court and charged with treason, which carries the death penalty.
He needed help to walk into court and appeared to cry at one point. He sat in the dock in magistrate's court, with his lawyers saying he was unable to stand on his own.
4 others also arrested
Ssentamu was arrested with four other opposition lawmakers, three of whom also face treason charges. A fifth legislator has been hospitalized with injuries allegedly sustained during detention.
The magistrate ruled Ssentamu should be allowed to see his own doctors, and he was remanded into custody until Aug. 30.
One of Ssentamu's attorneys, Medard Sseggona said medical treatment abroad is desirable, but that Ssentamu first needs to go to a private Ugandan health facility.
"As to whether they can do it is a different matter," he said.
Other opposition figures expressed concern about being targeted by security forces as Museveni's government has come under pressure in the Ssentamu case.
"Every way out of my home is barricaded since very early today," tweeted Kizza Besigye, a four-time presidential challenger who has been jailed many times.
Police spokesperson Emilian Kayima later said Besigye was arrested when he tried to force his way out. The spokesperson said forces also were deployed at the homes of certain Ugandans after receiving intelligence that some "wanted to engage in criminal activities."
Detained while campaigning
Ssentamu's arrest came after he was campaigning for a lawmaker in the northwestern town of Arua. Museveni also was in Arua at the time, campaigning for a rival candidate who eventually lost.
While the president was departing, authorities said, his motorcade was pelted with stones by people associated with Ssentamu and the candidate he backed, Kassiano Wadri.
Ssentamu's driver was shot and killed, allegedly by security forces.
In a statement late Wednesday, Museveni accused "unprincipled politicians" of luring youth into rioting. Addressing calls on social media to free Ssentamu, he said he had no power to do so.
"Let us therefore wait for the courts and see what they decide," Museveni said.
Museveni, a U.S. ally on regional security, has been elected five times. Although he has campaigned on a record of establishing peace and stability, some worry that those gains are being eroded the longer he stays in power.

Extraction process:
1. Solvent pumps: continuously spray solvent to the rotary-type extractor
2. Roary extractor: Spray and soak the pre-pressed cake with solvent so that oil fats can be diss-olved in solvent(form miscella). After processing, you can get wet meal and miscella (mixed oil).
3. DTDC: usd to separate the solvent from the wet meal.
4. Miscella tank 1st: pump the miscella (oil with solvent) in to the miscella 1st , then add saline
water to it. The phospholipid in the miscella will react with the saline water, at last the reactant precipitate, reaching the goal of purifying.
5. Miscella tank 2nd: the purified miscella will be pumped into it.
6. Miscella stripping: it will remove the remaining solvent in miscella. And the solvent will be discharged to condenser for recycling.
7. Condensers: to cooling the solvent gas separated from the wet meal and miscella for recycling.
Main equipments: The extraction series includes rotocel extractor, toaster, 1st evaporator, 2nd evaporator,
stripping tower, condenser, etc.

Dear Mexican: Grammar question/rant: If Spanglish is a legitimate dialect/language, why do you feel the need to italicize every instance of code-switching? I seriously doubt that when you speak, you emphasize every puta palabra (emphasis intended here), but that's what your articles read like.
We all know that you are speaking Spanglish—not a foreign language—so tell the gabacho (no emphasis intended here) editors to back off and let you use italics for what they are intended for: emphasis.
Strunk and Brown
Dear Wab: Gracias for thinking that Spanglish is a legitimate form of communication—you just made the custodians of Cervantes and shepherds of Shakespeare get angrier than Joe Arpayaso surrounded by a group of Mexicans!
But we're talking two separate cosas here. My linguistic goal with this columna isn't for America to accept Spanglish, but for American English and its speakers to pick up more Spanish words so that one day, I won't have to use italics on said words to differentiate their otherness. It's happened over the decades: At one point, editors italicized Spanish words like amigo, tequila, fiesta and siesta, because they were foreign concepts to gabacho audiences, but the words were used enough so that we no longer italicize them.
Think of it as a linguistic Reconquista, of Latin slowly beating down English's Germanic influences! The only way to teach an audience a new palabra, then, is to signify a code switch via the italics, but I make sure to use simple Spanish words that can possibly gain wider currency—gabacho, pendejo, desmadre—and eventually assimilate into the American lingua franca and cultura.
And I don't have to worry about any gabacho editors telling me when to use italics and when I can't—I'm the pinche Mexican, for crying out loud. But even this cabrón cannot persuade the unforgiving pen of his copy editor, who can make the most grizzled reporter tremble with just a flash of the red pluma.
Do you have any idea why Univisión and Telemundo look so much sharper and better than any other high-definition programming on any other channel? They looked better even before HD was en vogue. My guess is that they don't use filters that everyone else uses.
Techie Gabacho
Dear Gabacho: The same reason porn is always at the forefront of technology: Gotta make those chichis shine!
I just learned that Nueva Vizcaya was "settled" by Basques, and it got me to thinking: Are there any noticeable regional differences in Mexico based on the regions in Spain where the original Spaniards came from? If so, where can I read more about it?
Euskadi Enthusiast
Dear Gabacho: Nueva Vizcaya, of course, refers to the province of New Spain that nowadays roughly encompasses Chihuahua and Durango, and parts of Sonora, Sinaloa and other northern Mexico states, and was named by the Basque explorer Francisco de Ibarra after Biscay. Other Spanish explorers also named provinces in New Spain after their home regions—Nuevo Galicia, Nuevo León (which the modern-day Mexican state is named after) and the awesomely titled Nuevo Santander, after the city in the kingdom of Cantabria.
But in terms of large-scale regional Spanish migration to particular areas of Mexico during the era of the Conquistadors, the Mexican is going to have to plead partial mestizaje on this one. The most famous mass settling of particular groups happened in what's now the United States—Canary Islanders in San Antonio, and marranos (crytpo-Jews) in New Mexico—while outside of northern Mexico and its concentration of Garzas, most of the other Spaniards just melted into the pozole. All the early Spanish immigrants ultimately left as a legacy in Mexico was Spanish, surnames and a taste for ultra-violence.

NEW YORK—A key witness against former Penn State assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky, known in court papers as Victim 1, has a book deal and will soon reveal his identity, a publisher announced Thursday.
Ballantine Bantam Dell said that "Silent No More: Victim (hash)1's Fight for Justice Against Jerry Sandusky," is coming out Oct. 23. The memoir will be co-written by the victim's mother and psychologist and "will share how he survived years of shame and secrecy, harassment and accusation, before reporting Sandusky's actions to the authorities, and will offer a hopeful and inspiring message for victims of abuse," Ballantine announced.
Victim 1, now 18, will reveal his identity on the day of the book's release in an interview with ABC's Chris Cuomo.
Financial terms for the book were not disclosed. But Ballantine, an imprint of Random House Inc., plans a donation to a charity for victims of child abuse.
Sandusky allegedly fondled Victim 1 and performed oral sex on him multiple times. Victim 1 first alerted authorities in 2008 and helped launch the investigation leading to Sandusky's conviction in June on 45 counts of child sexual abuse. Prosecutors said some of the assaults took place on the Penn State campus.
Sandusky is scheduled to be sentenced next month and is likely to receive a sentence that will keep him in prison for life.
