"ICS, we hardly knew ye. Builds for CyanogenMod 9 stable will be rolling out to our servers tonight. As noted before, this will be the end of the line for the ICS branch of our code; only critical bug fixes will be merged moving forward. [...] Tonight's release is for the majority of our ICS supported devices, the stragglers will catch up, and we will leave the door open for merging in additional devices from maintainers, external and internal. The team itself, will focus solely on Jelly Bean and maintenance of the CM 7 codebase." Already running the CM10/Jelly Bean previews on my SII, and while clearly not as polished yet as CM9, it works just fine. Great work.

We are planning to develop an application that is targeted for mobile and desktop platforms.
Can I use the same code base to develop application that are targeted for mobile and desktop platforms.
If I can't, how much of it can I re use to develop desktop and mobile apps with easy way?.
Or, how i can achieve it by adding it within a single running application with some kind of logic with differet views.
Is there could be some other RIA framework that can help with desktop and mobile application to achieve my goal, then please suggest that alternate also.
Would appreciate if anyone can share their experiences for doing similar efforts.

Rubio on compromise: 'Where are the jobs?'
Senate 'solution' would force employers to fire workers, postpone hiring
Actress Clara Peller famously asked "Where's the beef?" in a 1980s commercial for fast-food chain Wendy's, and the slogan played a role in the 1984 election Democrat primary battle between Walter Monday and Gary Hart.
Now Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., is asking essentially the same question about the Senate's compromise plan to avoid the "fiscal cliff" of automatic tax increases and spending cuts set up under the Obama administration.
Rubio was one of just eight senators who opposed the measure. He said today that he appreciates all the hard work that went into compromising, but it just won't get done the job that America needs.
A summary from the Congressional Budget Office said the deal negotiated by Joe Biden and Senate Republicans would raise taxes, and allow spending to skyrocket by $330 billion over the next decade.
Only $25 billion is cut from spending, and most of that not for years, the report said.
"Thousands of small businesses, not just the wealthy, will now be forced to decide how they'll pay this new tax and, chances are, they'll do it by firing employees, cutting back their hours and benefits, or postponing the new hire they were looking to make. And to make matters worse, it does nothing to bring our dangerous debt under control," Rubio said.
He said the taxes kill jobs and don't address the nation's debt problem – at $16 trillion plus now and surging each day that Obama is in office.
"I appreciate all the hard work that went into avoiding the so-called 'fiscal cliff.' I especially commend Sen. McConnell's efforts to make the best out of a bad situation. Nevertheless, I cannot support the arrangement they have arrived at. Rapid economic growth and spending reforms are the only way out of the real fiscal cliff our nation is facing. But rapid economic growth and job creation will be made more difficult under the deal reached here in Washington," he said.
"Of course, many Americans will be relieved in the short term that their taxes won't go up. However in the long run, they will be hurt when employers pass on to them one of the largest tax hikes in decades. Furthermore, this deal just postpones the inevitable, the need to solve our growing debt crisis and help the 23 million Americans who can't find the work they need."
Other senators who opposed the measure, which has yet to be considered by the U.S. House, were Tom Harkin, D-Iowa; Richard Shelby, R-Ala.; Rand Paul, R-Ky.; Mike Lee, R-Utah; Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa; Tom Carper, D-Del.; and Mike Bennett, D-Colo.
Sen. Republican Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky said the result was the best that could be had.
"Each of us could spend the rest of the week discussing what a perfect solution would have looked like, but the end result would have been the largest tax increase in American history," he said. "It took an imperfect solution to prevent our constituents from [seeing] very real financial pain."

Just One Deer, Tonight
Click on this photo to enlarge it, and you'll see a deer standing by the fence, looking at me. I wish I had a better zoom on my camera, but he's clearly visible. This is the same fenceline where I photographed four deer at sunset a few weeks ago.

What a great photo. Thanks for the mental boost.

I have seen a herd of about a dozen deer grazing in broad daylight a few times in this area. In fact, the day that I drove to town with James, we saw a big herd of deer across the road from this field.

A Little Love for the Caipirinha
Posted by Arctic Wolf on October 13, 2010
There happens to be a cocktail which just might be one of the most popular in the world, which I'll bet a lot of you have never tried… the Caipirinha!
You probably have never tried it because it is made from Cachaca, Brazil's popular rum like beverage. Cachaça (Portuguese pronunciation: kaˈʃasɐ) is a sugar cane spirit made from fermented and distilled sugarcane juice.
While rum is known everywhere outside of Brazil, within Brazil, Cachaca is the sugarcane spirit the locals enjoy. In fact, it happens to be the most popular alcoholic beverage in Brazil. According to wikipedia (2007 figures), 1.3 billion liters are produced annually. (I will admit that I did a double take when I read that figure as that is a whole lotta Cachaca being produced and consumed!)
Cachaça is different from the Rum you are familiar with in that rum is usually made from molasses, whereas Cachaça is as I said above, made from sugarcane juice. The resulting spirit, Cachacha, is typically less sweet than rum. This makes it an ideal mixer for tropical drinks.
The drink of choice for the Cachaca connoisseur is the Caipirinha! In fact it just happens to be the National Drink of Brazil, where all that 1.3 billion liters of Cachaca is consumed. I decided to investigate the Caipirinha, and what I found out was that the Brazilians are onto something very good! The drink is kind of like a Daiquiri on ice. It is extremely refreshing and extremely tasty!

text: Drought Continues to Overshadow Cattle Market August 20, 2012 09:38 AM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Kim Watson Potts Drovers Email Drought conditions continue to overshadow cattle prices as producers struggle to maintain herds, with many forced to sell off cows and calves. Cattle-Exchange's Frank Loschke says "Transferring ownership for one or two years might be something to consider if we want to preserve our genetic legacy in our cow herds. Weather permitting; we can repurchase some of those genetics back." Fortunately, there may be a break in the weather for some in the coming weeks. USDA's weather forecast for the coming week shows near- to above-normal rainfall across most of the nation in contrast with drier-than-normal conditions across the central and southern Plains and the Northwest. Over the weekend some areas in in Indiana and Ohio received rain, but even with some moisture, it will take a while for pastures to return. "Some producers are nearing a breaking point when it comes to being forced to send cows to market due to a lack of feed, while others are continuing to hold out hope for some fall pasture growth to prevent a large liquidation. Beef cow slaughter has trailed year ago levels throughout 2012 to this point, but this will change very soon without meaningful rain and pasture growth," according to University of Missouri economist Scott Brown and Ron Plain in their weekly cattle outlook report. Plain and Brown also say that the August live cattle futures contract settled at $120.70/cwt, virtually unchanged from the previous Friday. The October contract settled at $125.30/cwt, down $0.20. December closed at $128.225/cwt, down $0.20 from the previous Friday. August feeder cattle futures ended the week at $140.60/cwt, $1.125 higher than last Friday. October feeders ended the week at $143.70/cwt. Higher cattle prices are starting to translate into higher beef prices. The Bureau of Labor Statistics recently reported that ground beef prices in July averaged $3.09/lb.-- a record for ground beef. Economist say as beef prices climb we may see consumer demand decline as other protein sources become more economical compared to beef. And with cattle and beef supplies continuing to shrink, it doesn't appear that there will be any long term reducted in beef prices, only temporary declines as producers are forced to cull herds and send cattle to slaughter.

James has won the X Factor!!
A victory for real music...
- this'd this
Sit down
you're boring me
- Clair_de_Lune this'd this
also james arthur isn't even proper music
he was like I'M NOT AN X FACTOR CONTESTANT, I DON'T DO COVERS and he does both
perhaps his comments
were born of frustrationandyvine this'd this
He would have been better coming second or third
He would get snapped up by some label and could do all sorts of things he wants to do. Instead as the X Factor winner they do nothing at all for a whole year until the next X Factor starts for some reason, then noone will give a shit as they will have a load of new people to listen to. Plus the music they get given will be shite. It is only the odd winner that ever seems to do anything, Leona Lewis is the only one I can think of?
Leona Lewis only ever turns up when it's a Simon Cowell show
Seriously, think about it. She's never on anythign unless he has a hand in it. She's been massively mismanaged. I mean, what do we know about her? Nothing. she's released a load of cod covers, one per Christmas and her latest song is anal beads.
She could have been this nations Whitney Houston (80s Whitney) and shat allover the competition like Beverley Knight. But nah, he's a two dimensional nothingness like all of Cowell's products. Really fucking boring.
She does seem to work very sporadically
I find that the odd thing about all the X Factor winners. They say they are hiding them away and "working on their album" etc. Then they finally surface with a single launched nearly a year later when noone cares about them. They really should ride their fame and chuck out loads of singles while the iron is hot. They have been learning a song a week for a good few months now, I am sure they can handle it. Leona is just really lucky that she is actually a very good singer, otherwise she would be in the scrapheap with (insert name of winners here whose names I can't even remember).
1 Beverley Knight = 100 Leona Lewis's
Seriously. i'm not about to sit down and listen to her albums (though I own a couple) like I would a Siamese Dream but she's great in comparison to a prepackaged rent-a-wail like this one with Cowell's hand up her arse. Couldn't give a fuck.
on another matter
surely olly murs must be getting tired of playing the cheeky chappy?
Being an indie legend I haven't seen much of this at all
But I was waiting at a friend's house last night, and when I heard some X-Factor cracker was going to do Let's Get It On I was rubbing my hand's with glee. But he was excellent, much to my chagrin.
It's right though
Let Us Get It On
Marcus Collins came second last
look what good that did him coming second...
And One Direction came third two years ago,
and look what good that did them.
How you end up on X Factor isn't really the deciding issue, it's what single you release first and what promotion you can get, as well as a million other factors you can't control like fashion and having a gap in the market.
I would suggest winners are poorly served though by the sheer fact Cowell seems to insist their album isn't released until the next series is on, meaning everyone has forgotten about them. Bizarre thinking.
The only pop star on the show (if that's what they're after) was Rylan.
If what they wanted was a good singer, Ella Henderson was the best by an absolute mile.

All News Releases By Date
Cleveland to Host Great Lakes Week in 2012
Release Date: 05/03/2012
Contact Information: Peter Cassell, 312-886-6234, firstname.lastname@example.com
CHICAGO (May 3, 2012) – An unprecedented effort to restore the Great Lakes will be highlighted in Cleveland this September when hundreds of advocates, scientists, public officials and conservation leaders gather for Great Lakes Week 2012. The theme of this year's event, to be held Sept. 10-13 in downtown Cleveland, is "Taking Action, Delivering Results." It will focus public attention on efforts to rid the Great Lakes of toxic hotspots, reduce polluted runoff, restore fish and wildlife habitat, and prevent Asian carp and other invasive species from entering the lakes.
Great Lakes Week advances the federal Great Lakes Restoration Initiative, the largest investment in the Great Lakes in two decades. The special week also gathers the annual meetings and conferences of various U.S. and Canadian organizations in one place, making it one of the most wide-ranging Great Lakes summits. Leaders will explore issues of importance to citizens on both sides of the U.S.-Canadian border.
Great Lakes Week 2012 will feature the following events:
•Sept. 10: International Joint Commission Meeting.
•Sept. 10-11: Great Lakes Commission Annual Meeting.
•Sept. 10: Great Lakes Week Town Hall.
•Sept. 11-13: Healing Our Waters-Great Lakes Coalition's 8th Annual Great Lakes Restoration Conference.
•Sept. 12: A joint session with U.S. and Canadian federal officials and organizations participating in Great Lakes Week.
•Sept. 12-13: Great Lakes Areas of Concern Annual Conference.
Quotes from Great Lakes Week partner groups:
"We're excited to be coming to Cleveland, a city which has been at the center of some of the nation's most urgent environmental challenges—and greatest comeback stories," said Jeff Skelding, Director of the Healing Our Waters-Great Lakes Coalition. "Restoration projects are producing results. And even though a lot of work remains, we are eager to showcase our successes in Cleveland."
"We all have a vision for what we want the Great Lakes to be for the region's economic and environmental future," said Cameron Davis, EPA's Senior Great Lakes Advisor. "Great Lakes Week is the chance for leaders from both countries to come together to demonstrate what they've done and will continue to do to keep pushing for that vision to become a reality."
"Great Lakes Week will help build upon the enormous energy that now exists to restore the Great Lakes and keep invasive species like Asian carp and others from colonizing the lakes," said Tim Eder, executive director of the Great Lakes Commission.
"Communities across the basin witness daily how Great Lakes restoration benefits both the environment and economy," said Dave Ullrich, Executive Director of the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence Cities Initiative. "Cities are the front lines of the restoration effort and are working to ensure our binational commitment to the Lakes continues."
"In Cleveland, the IJC will be reporting on our priority research work, highlighted by our focus on Lake Erie," said Lana Pollack, U.S. Chair of the International Joint Commission. "Supported by a new Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement, the U.S. and Canada can work together to make real progress on the challenges facing Lake Erie."

In reading the TPT forums, it appears that some teachers like to have black and white options to save on printer ink. It often looks better to do a custom conversion, rather than just print a color image in black. So, here are the line art images in the Frogs 'n' Flowers set:
I'll be interested to see what people make with these images.

Frequently Asked Questions
Wholesale availability
We have a handful of wholesale accounts, but at this time, we are not looking for more. We thank you for your interest :)
Custom and personalized orders
The ability to customize, personalize orders is the number one reason we work mostly on a "made to order" basis. We want you to have everything just as you need/want it! We understand that this makes our shipping times slower, but we hope you will agree that we are worth the wait :)
Does your roving come in one, continuous piece?
Not always. Let us know if this is important, and we will make it happen.
Why is the shipping so high? Can you fix it?
It's a long, convoluted answer having to do with the fact that we offer variations of weight in our batts and other items. We pay the extra shipping on larger batts, but we have no way of setting the shipping lower on the sample sizes, so we have to meet somewhere in the middle --which is often WAY too much if you are ordering a quantity of sample batts.
And yes. We can fix it, just message us. Or.. check out and leave us a note reminding us to refund your excess shipping. Either way, we understand. We hate overpaying for shipping too :D
You forgot my felting needles. Will you send them?
If we forgot them, of course we will :D
But first... take a peek on the side of the foam. 99.99% of the time, they are there, just overlooked.
Why does it take 10-14 days to mail a batt?
We dye a very large proportion (60-75%!!) of our wool, Firestar and Silk. We're really proud of the number of colors we offer-- and we only have plans to do more. We do this because it the work we love to do, it's one of many things that we think make our work worthwhile, special. Additionally, we do not want our batts sitting in inventory, compacting from lack of use. And then... what if you want to customize the batt? We do that too :D
We make our batts to order because we make them for you— and we make a LOT of them, so there is usually a line when you order as well. We think they are worth the wait and hope that you will too. Naturally, if you need something faster, let us know. We work magic, that's what we do :D

O Sullivan seem to have a superb opportunity. Selby and Hingins are out, so he can win. But the others had bad days in the past, like Stevens or Carter. They come from nowhere and they know how important it is to play a semi at the crucible. I think they will be very dangerous and motivated. It's a big opportunity for them too.
O Noel, Belgium
- 1:06 pm
How many times will Maguire bash the table in this match?
- 3:58 pm
The interesting thing is that all four remaining players have attained veteran status, so we are guaranteed a final contested by two players over 30 years old and obviously another winner—the fifth one in six years. Every final since 2006 has had a player over 30 in it too. Its remarkable how the world champion age has suddenly started trending upwards in the last few years.
- 4:32 pm
432, interesting it may be
what i say is that the game is at saturation point and the best play of the likes of hendry, higgins and osullivan are the benchmark that wont be improved upon. certainly not over a specific career, but maybe only for a season or two.
that would suggest that these players, along with williams at his best would be able to play to that standard into their early forties.
thing is, there are quite a few from that era, or crossed over from it who are more than capable. threee of them proving that by getting to the semis.
- 6:26 pm
God, this is shit. One of the worst world championships I can remember. There has only been one stand-out match so far with the Carter/Trump match! If they go on about the PTCs raising standards again I'm going to explode.
- 10:00 pm
Hi David.
Stat's, Yes, Stat's Of The Day - Today, is 3-5-2012. On 3-5-1999, Stephen Hendry, won his seventh world title, beating Mark Williams, 18-11, in the final. Thi, is the 13th anniversary, to the day, since this happend.
Today, is also the 8th anniversary, to the day, since Ronnie O'Sullivan, won the second, of his three world titles, beating Graeme Dott, 18-8, in the final, on 3-5-2004.
Another great day's play, in my view.
If I may borrow you're own title, to this piece, "ONE TABLE, FOUR PLAYERS." Great title.
Semi-Final 1 - session 1- Maguire .V. Carter - Both players stuggled early. Maguire pleased to be 2-0 up, with only a highest break of 21. Carter won the next two, A 91 Carter break, included, 2-all, at the mid-session interval.
Frame five, decided on the final black, went to Carter. He lead 3-2. Maguire won the sixth, with a 80-plus break,. 3- all. Carter won the next two frames, to lead, 5-3, over-night, going into tommorrow morning's second session.
Semi-Final 2 - Session 1 - O'Sullivan .V. Stevens - Stevens had chances, but O'Sullivan more consistent, but, not at his best. O'sullivan led 4-0, at the mid-session interval. What could stevens do?
Stevens won frame five and six. 4-2. Stevens missed a sitter of a red, in frame seven. O'Sullivan won the frame. 5-2. Stevens won frame eight, with an 80 break, the highest of the session, by either player. O;Sullivan leads 5-3, over-night, going into tomorrow afternoon's second session.
Tomorrow -
Semi-Final 1 - session 2 - Maguire .V. Carter - 10 am.
Semi-Final 2- Session 2 - O'Sullivan .V. Stevens - 2.30 pm.
Semi-Final 1 - Session 3 - Maguire .V. Carter - 7pm.
I can't wait.
- 11:03 pm
agree with 10pm
the first few dats were excellent, but since the first thursday its been going downhill.
- 8:31 am
ronnie seems to be over the glandular fever he had when there were a few flights to get on to tournaments...
funny nobody mentions how he must be suffering when hes winning. obviously only an excuse when he loses.
i wonder if the GF will return in a short while when the ptc / wuxi are on..
- 8:33 am
Never understood why they increased the SF to best of 33 frames. Best of 31 frames was a fair step up from best of 25 to best of 35, but a best of 33 just feels like another final. If they were worried about a 7 frame final session that a best of 31 frame match might result in, then why not have 7-8-7-9 format?
- 10:56 am
7-8-7-9 would be a great format, it would ensure that someone would have to be leading after the first and second sessions. It always seems such a drag when you've had two sessions and the scores are level. Not so bad after the third sesssion because it's set up nicely for the last session.
- 3:45 pm
Calling a miss on Stevens when he was snookered between the pink and the corner pocket was just plain ridicuous. There was only one path out of the snooker, and if you hit it with enough pace to reach the yellow then it would bounce up which it did. Stevens complied with the rule fully, and yet a miss was still called. In the end it didn't matter but incompetent call by the ref.
- 5:12 pm
512, i am a qualified ref at a grade just under those on tv.
youre talking through your butt.
he could have hit it by hitting the same shot a bit softer, but he obviously didnt just want to hit it softly and leave it on.
it was difficult, but he missed it by 48 inches.
- 5:28 pm
I'd forgorren about the glandular fever, looks like Ronnie has too.
- 10:02 pm
Hi David.
Stat's, Yes, Stat's Of The Day -
Today, is 4-5-2012. On 4-5-1998, John Higgins, beat Ken Doherty, 18-12, to win his first world title. This happend, 14 years ago, to the day, today.
John Higgins won his third world title, on 4-5- 2009, beating Shaun Murphy, 18-9, in the final. This happend, 11 years ago, to the day, since he won his first world title, and, 3 years ago, to the day, today.
Another great day's play, in my view.
Semi-Final 1- Session 2 - 10am - Maguire .V. Carter - Carter, 5-3 up. Maguire won the next two frames, 5-all. Carter, the next two, the second of which, will a 118 break. He led 7-5 at the mid-session interval.
Frame 13, unlucky for the Scot. After playing for snooker's, Carter won the frame, on the black. 8-5. He increased this, to a four-frame winning streak, 9-5. Maguire made a superb 142 break, 9-6. Carter won a tight 16th frame, to lead 10-6, going into tonight's third session.
Semi- Final 2 - Session 2 - 2.30 pm- O'Sullivan .V. Stevens - O'Sullivan, 5-3 up. Stevens made it 5-4, and stole the 10th frame, on the black. 5-all. From there, well, O'Sullivan rained supreme in the session, playing sublime stuff. He won six stright frames, Two centuriy breaks, and two 90-plus breaks, included. O'Sullivan leads, 11-5, over-night, going into tomorrow morning's third session.
Semi-Final 1 - Session 3 - 7pm - Maguire .V, Carter. Carter, 10-6, up. Maguire made it 10-7. Carter won four stright frames, playing superb stuff. A 134 break included, to lead, 14-7. Maguire made a great comeback. Maguire's breaks of 70, and, 72, reduced Carter's lead. 14-9. Maguire won a close 24th frames. Cater in a great position. Maguire is not, though, out of it, yet. Carter leads, 14-10, over-night, going into tomorrow afternoon's fourth, and final, session.
Tomorrow's order of play -
Semi-Final 2- Session 3- O'Sullivan .V. Stevens - 10am
Semi-Final 1- 4th, and final session - Maguire - 2.30 pm.
Semi-Final 2 - 4th and final session - O'Sullivan .V. Stevens - 7 pm.
I can't wait.
- 11:29 pm
I am a referee who has refereed several world championship finals, and it was a disgraceful application of the miss rule. I sincerely doubt you are qualified at a grade just below TV level, and if you are then I am very disappointed to see the standards of my profession sink to that level.
- 11:31 pm
The Force is strong with you young Skywalker.
- 4:55 pm
Looking at the provisional rankings, Carter is 17th and 400 points behind Bingham. He has really been shafted by this new policy of awarding 0 points to players who cannot participate due to illness. I can appreciate why they changed the rules because too many players were gaming the system for, but I think in the case of someone like Carter who has an ongoing well documented illness they could have made an exception. Dropping out of the top doesn't reflect his performance, it reflects his illness; he needs to win the world title now to get back in, and I don't think it's really fair.
- 5:09 pm
1131, youre obviously talking rubbish and trying to act the big shot.
ask any top ref (on twitter if you dont know them personally) and see their view.
it sides with my opinion, and that of BM too.

while i feel for ali, theres no telling that he, or another player in future, could use a rule change to their advantage.... only needing half points to stay in a particular rank and so a flair up occurs.
im not saying ali would, but if the rules were different, he could.
it was only a matter of weeks ago ronnie had bad glandular fever and any match he lost that excuse was mentioned. now the season is all but over and theres no overseas events left, and hes winning, the commentators and snooker writers have swept it under ronnies magic carpet.

HI Tim,
Unless I'm missing something, the tabs for bible translations, dictionaries, and commentaries can presently only display as a single row. I was wondering if it would be possible to create an option where you could view multiple rows of the tabs? As one collects more modules, this feature would be highly useful.

Victoria police have arrested seven people in connection with an investigation into street racing.
Additional arrests may occur.
Racers using both motorcycles and vehicles often race during daylight hours on the major roadways within the city, said Victoria Police Chief JJ Craig on Wednesday.
"I think it's brazen. They take great pride that they can do it in public and not get caught," Craig said. "They are not only taking risks, but choosing to endanger the public around them."
The Victoria Police Department has received complaints of about street racers from residents along Airline Road, John Stockbauer Drive, Navarro Street and Lone Tree Road.
A video taken from a racer's helmet video camera posted on YouTube aided in the arrest of three men at about 6:45 p.m. May 10. The speed of the racers exceeded 150 mph, Craig said.
Victoria Police officers, aided by Victoria County Sheriff's Office deputies, arrested Tannon Miller, 39, of Victoria, in the 2000 block of Southwest Ben Jordan Street and charged him with illegal street racing.
A yellow and black Honda CBR 929 motorcycle was taken as evidence.
Manuel Villareal, 25, of Victoria, was arrested on charges of illegal street racing in the 500 block of East Brazos Street.
Villareal was also charged with possession of a prohibited weapon when officers found knuckles on him during the arrest. A black Honda CBR 929 motorcycle was confiscated.
Brett Williams, 31, of Victoria, was arrested in the 200 block of Ridgewood for racing on the highway. A gray Suzuki GSXR600 motorcycle was seized.
Officers conducting surveillance saw several motorcyclists racing down city streets about 12:30 a.m. March 31, Craig said.
"Officers actually watched these individuals engage in illegal, reckless street racing down Navarro, onto Rio Grande, onto Houston Highway before they were arrested," Craig said. "Officers also seized all of the individuals' motorcycles."
Nicholas Michael Ruiz, 23, Joshua Zarbach, 24, Corey Justo Banda, 20, and Neal Tyler Soester, 19, were charged with street racing and their motorcycles were confiscated.
While men were initially charged with street racing, a a class B misdemeanor, if they are charged with additional racing incidents, the charges would increase to Class A misdemeanors.
When the cases go to court, the judge will determine what will happen to the motorcycles. One of the options is demolition, the chief said.
"Although this phase of the investigation is over, we are very well aware that there are other individuals in the city who are typically engaged in these activities," Craig said. "Not only motorcycles, but cars as well."
Some of the people involved have been identified, Craig said. He anticipated additional arrests.
"Our message is that this type of reckless behavior is not going to be tolerated in Victoria," Craig said. "We will take every means necessary to respond to these individuals who are endangering public safety."

Tips & Tricks
Seeing your Photos on a Map
You probably already know that the photos you take with your iPhone are automatically tagged with the location where you took them, and this information is pretty clearly displayed in the "Moments" section of the new iOS Photos app above each grouping of photos. What you may not have realized, however, is that you can easily view this information on a map simply by tapping any of these headings with a location name.
This will take you to a map view that will show you thumbnails of your photos based on the location information stored in each. You can even zoom in and out from here, allowing you to view groupings of photos in more specific locations, and tapping on a thumbnail will bring you to a view of only the grouping of photos taken at that specific location.
Improving password security in iOS
While some may argue about the importance of locking your iPhone or other iOS device with a passcode, in this day of identity thieves and other ne'er-do-wells, it's generally something we here at iLounge strongly recommend users do. In fact, if you've got a device with Touch ID, there's really little good reason to not have a passcode, which was Apple's primary motivation for introducing the feature.
While you probably already know how to set a standard four-digit passcode, you may not realize that it's possible to use more complex alphanumeric passwords as well — a good security feature considering the number of brute-force attacks that can defeat relatively simple four-digit PINs. While having to enter a complex password each time you unlock your device would have been more cumbersome in the days before Touch ID, it's much more practical now, as this is a password that you'll need to enter far less often — usually only when you restart your device.
To enable a complex passcode, simply go into your iOS Settings app, choose Touch ID & Passcode, enter your existing passcode (if you've set one), and then scroll down and toggle OFF "Simple Passcode." You'll be prompted to change your old passcode as soon as you toggle this option off so that you can pick a more secure alphanumeric password.
Once you've done this, you'll see that the iPhone unlock screen now presents a standard keyboard when you swipe to unlock your device. However, using a complex password doesn't change the way Touch ID works — you can still unlock simply by holding your finger on your home button, so you'll rarely even see the full-keyboard unlock screen. A more secure password, however, will make your iPhone harder to get into for anybody who doesn't have their fingerprint registered on your device.
Setting Different Calendar Alert Types in iOS 8
If you're an active calendar user on iOS who relies on invitations and shared calendars, you may find it useful that iOS 8 now gives you more control over the notifications and alerts you see for different types of calendar activities. This means that you don't need to have all of your normal event alerts, invitation alerts, and shared calendar changes notify you in the same way. While prior iOS versions gave you the ability to simply switch things like shared calendar alerts completely off, with iOS 8 you can now fully customize each of the different categories of calendar alerts.
Simply go into your Settings app and select Notifications and then Calendar. While the number of entries shown in the Notification Center is still set overall, you'll see four subcategories for Upcoming Events, Invitations, Invitation Responses, and Shared Calendar Changes. Each of these allows you to customize whether they're shown in the Notification Center or on the lock screen, as well as choose different notification sounds and alert styles — and whether that type of alert is represented by a badge count on the app icon. Keep in mind that the settings here will affect all of your calendars; if you're looking for a way to turn off upcoming event alerts or shared calendar changes for only specific calendars, check out our other tip on Turning off alerts for individual Calendars in iOS 8.
Managing iTunes Wish Lists
While the rise of subscription music services has replaced traditional purchased music downloads for many users, there are still those who may prefer to build a collection of music that they can keep without any monthly expenses, and with every new iTunes Store and iOS iteration, Apple adds new features to make it even easier to discover and buy music (and other media content) from the iTunes Store. While you probably know about iTunes' Wish List feature, which lets you save items that you may want to purchase later, you may not realize that iTunes and iOS 8 will automatically keep track of music you've listened to through other means — including songs you've previewed in the iTunes Store, songs you've listened to on iTunes Radio, and now with iOS 8, songs you've asked Siri to identify via Shazam.
All of this information is nicely collected in your iTunes Store account and can be viewed from iTunes on your Mac or PC, or the iTunes Store app on your iOS devices. On iOS, simply open the iTunes Store app and tap the lists button in the top right corner. Tabs across the top will allow you to choose between your Wish List, Siri, Previews, or iTunes Radio. From here you can preview or purchase any of the displayed tracks, or even play a track if you've already purchased it. If you want to clean the lists up, simply tapping the button in the top left corner will let you select and remove items from your Wish List, or
clear out your Siri, Preview, or iTunes Radio lists entirely.
If you're on a Mac or PC, simply select your name near the top right corner of your iTunes window and choose "Wish List" from the drop down menu that appears. The main wish list is displayed across the majority of the window, as before, but new categories appear to show you items listened to or discovered via the other sources.
Turning off alerts for individual Calendars in iOS 8
If you share calendars among friends, family members, and co-workers, you may have sometimes found yourself in the annoying situation of having their reminders go off on your iPhone. Fortunately, the iOS 8 Calendar app now allows you to turn off notifications on a per-calendar basis. To do this, simply go into the Calendar app, tap the "Calendars" button in the bottom center to bring up your list of Calendars, and then tap the red "i" to the left of the calendar you'd like to change. Scrolling all the way to the bottom will reveal an "Event Alerts" option — simply toggle this OFF to prevent alarms in that calendar from showing up on the current device.
Note that this works not only for shared calendars, but even your own personal calendars, which can be useful if you have a calendar for which you might like to receive alerts on only specific devices; you can turn off alerts on your iPhone while still having them go off on your Mac or iPad, for instance. Keep in mind that this will only silence actual calendar alarms; notifications you receive when somebody changes a shared calendar are controlled by the "Show Changes" setting which appears further up above the color settings. Controlling both options separately means that you can still see when somebody changes an appointment in their calendar while not having their alarms go off on your device.
Quickly viewing your most recent Notifications
While Touch ID is a really great way to unlock your iPhone, sometimes it's a little too fast, as anybody can attest to who has ever watched an important notification disappear from the Lock Screen before you could even identify what it was. The good news is that you can easily find these notifications by pulling down the Notification Center, but they may not always be easily seen if you're not sorting them properly.
The good news is that you can control the sort order for your Notification Center by going into the iOS Settings app and choosing Notifications. While sorting manually can be handy for putting the important notifications at the top all the time, the "Sort By Time" option is a great way to ensure that the most recent notifications are always at the top, so that when you miss one while unlocking your iPhone, you can simply pull down Notification Center and see it right at the top of your screen.
Enabling 60 fps Video Recording on iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus
- February 24, 2015
- iPhone,
One of the less publicized features of Apple's latest pair of iPhone models is the ability to record video at a higher frame rate — 60 frames per second. By default, however, Apple chose to leave this feature disabled, so unless you've dug into your iPhone Settings app and found it already, you'll still be shooting video at the same old 30fps rate used by the iPhone since video recording first debuted with the 3GS. A quick trip to Settings, Photos & Camera will reveal the "Record Videos at 60 FPS" setting. Toggle this on and you'll be recording buttery smooth HD videos in no time at all.
Of course, with greater frame rates comes greater file sizes — if you're recording twice as many frames, you'll end up with videos twice as large. You'll have to decide whether the increased frame rate is worth the extra storage, although that will likely be less of a concern if you're sporting a 128GB iPhone, and with the full release of iCloud Photo Library on the horizon, offloading large videos to iCloud becomes an option as well.
Reordering Photos in iOS 8 Photo Albums
Although it's been possible to create photo albums in the iOS Photos app for a while now, the feature becomes even more useful with iCloud Photo Library and the impending final release of Apple's Photos for Mac app. Now all of your photo albums from iPhoto or Aperture can be synced via iCloud Photo Library onto your iPhone, eliminating the need for managing this data in two places. One thing you may notice, however, is that new photos added to your iOS Photo Albums are not sorted in any particular order — they're simply added to the end of what's already there.
The good news, however, is that you can actually reorder these photos manually. Apple doesn't make this obvious at all, but if you tap on the "Select" button in the top right corner, you can then simply tap-and-hold on any one of your image thumbnails and then drag that image and release your finger to drop it anywhere else in the current album. Unfortunately, this only works in user-created Photo Albums; you won't be able to reorder photos in any of the built-in albums such as "Favorites" nor can you reorder photos in iCloud Photo Sharing albums.
Improving In-Car Voice Navigation Prompts in iOS Maps
- February 17, 2015
- iPhone,
For users who rely on the Apple Maps app for in-car navigation, Apple snuck a handy feature into iOS 7.1. While getting voice navigation prompts has never been a problem if you're already listening to music from your iPhone, users who prefer to listen to the radio or some other audio source normally had a problem hearing audio prompts through their in-car system.
If you're running iOS 7.1 or later, however, and have a supported in-car audio system, the Apple Maps app can now send voice navigation instructions through the Hands Free Profile, basically sending audio through the same channel that would be used for an incoming phone call, rather than Bluetooth stereo. To enable this, simply tap the audio icon in the bottom left corner of the Maps app while navigation is active, and toggle on "Allow HFP Prompts." Once enabled — and provided your vehicle supports it — you should hear voice navigation instructions regardless of what audio source you're listening to, and in some cases even if your stereo is turned completely off.
Requesting the desktop version of a site in Safari on iOS
While the iPhone and other mobile devices have resulted in (mostly) great strides in the creation of mobile-friendly web sites, sometimes the mobile version of a site just doesn't cut it for whatever reason — maybe it's hard to read or it's missing functionality that the full version of the site offers. The good news is that if you find yourself stranded on a second-rate mobile-optimized version of a site, you actually can ask Safari to try and go out and fetch the "desktop" version for you.
Simply tap on the Safari address bar, and when the list of bookmarks comes up, swipe downward to reveal a hidden options menu lurking above the fold. Tap "Request Desktop Site" and Safari will go out and reload the page, pretending to be a desktop browser. While it doesn't always work due to the variety of mobile web site code out there, it's a great way to get the full-sized version, which can actually be even more handy if you're working with a larger screen anyway, such as on an iPhone 6 Plus.
Muting Conversations in Messages
If you've ever participated in group message conversations on your iOS device, you may find that sometimes repeated notifications can begin to get annoying, particularly if there are a lot of people in the group and you're not actively involved in the conversation. While leaving is always an option, perhaps you still want to be able to check back later as to what's going on, but don't need notifications coming up every few seconds as people are chatting away.
The good news is that in iOS 8, you can now enable a "Do Not Disturb" feature or any conversation in Messages. Simply tap on the Details button at the top of the screen, and you'll see a toggle below the list of people in the conversation allowing you to mute the conversation. This works for one-on-one messaging conversations as well, making it useful for muting things like automated SMS notifications.
Enabling SMS Continuity in iOS 8
The ability to sync and carry on text message conversations regardless of whether you're using an iPhone, iPad, or Mac has always been one of the slicker features of iMessage, but until recently, there always seemed to be a disconnect between doing this with actual iMessages as opposed to traditional SMS text messages. Since not all of us have friends who exclusively use Apple devices, it was always a bit of a juggling act to figure out which ones you could message from your Mac or iPad and which friends made you have to reach for your iPhone to communicate. Fortunately, iOS 8.1 introduced the welcome feature of bridging this gap with "SMS Continuity," which allows SMS and MMS messages to be sent and received using any device registered to your Apple ID. The options to control this can be found by going into your the Settings app on your iPhone, and selecting Messages, Text Message Forwarding. Here you'll see a list of all of the non-iPhone devices associated with your Apple ID, and you can simply toggle the option on or off for the devices you wish to have participate in your SMS conversations.
As a security precaution, toggling a device ON will display a numeric code on the remote device that you'll need to enter into your iPhone to confirm the pairing.
Once you've done that, the feature should just start working in much the same way as it always has for iMessage. Unlike iMessage, you'll still need your iPhone to act as the gateway for SMS/MMS messages, as it's responsible for transferring the messages between your other devices and your cellular carrier's network. This is done wirelessly over the Internet via iCloud, however, so as long as your iPhone is on and has an Internet connection, the feature will work regardless of whether your iPhone is in actual proximity to your Mac, iPad, or iPod touch.
Restoring Deleted Photos and Videos in iOS 8
If you've ever inadvertently deleted a photo from your Camera Roll, you'll appreciate that iOS 8 now has your back. Among the list of enhancements added to the Photos app is a new "trash bin" in the form of a "Recently Deleted" album. In here, you can find any photo or video that you've removed from your iOS device in the last 30 days, sorted chronologically by the date the photo was removed.
A helpful indicator over each thumbnail tells you how many days each item has left to live before being permanently removed from your device. From here, you can view individual photos or select groups in the same way as in any other album, which you can then choose to either permanently delete or recover back into your normal photo library. If you have iCloud Photo Library enabled, your "Recently Deleted" album and photos also sync across all of your devices, so a deleted photo can be recovered (or removed) using any of your connected devices. Keep in mind that photos in the "Recently Deleted" album do still take up space, on your iPhone, so if you've just removed a batch of photos to try and free up space on your device, you'll need to take a trip over here to permanently delete them before you get that space back.
Monitoring Battery Usage in iOS 8
We all strive to get as much battery life as we can out of our mobile devices, and while many users have mixed experiences with the iPhone's battery life, there's little doubt that it can sometimes be confusing trying to figure out exactly why some days are better than others. While this has been shrouded in mystery for years in the world of iOS devices, the good news is that iOS 8 can finally give you some insight in this area.
While it's a bit hidden away – you'll need to take a trip into the Settings app and then look under General, Usage, Battery Usage – once you get there you'll find some useful tracking on which of your apps are the biggest power hogs, and you can choose to see stats over either the past 24 hours or the past 7 days, expressed as a percentage of the power used by each app when your device is not plugged in. Apps that have been using power in the background will also be annotated with notes like "Background Location" to help you clarify where your juice is going. If there are any obvious tips that can help to improve your battery life, you'll also see a section for "Battery Life Suggestions" covering things like enabling automatic screen locking.
Customizing Mail swipe actions in iOS 8
If you deal with a lot of e-mail, you'll probably appreciate the more advanced swipe gestures that iOS 8 adds to the Mail app. No longer limited to merely deleting or archiving messages, iOS 8 allows you to perform up to four different actions simply by swiping either left or right on an item in your inbox. By default, swiping right-to-left now displays a "Flag" option in addition to the Trash/Archive and More options, and you can also now swipe left to right to get an option to mark a message as read or unread. A long swipe in either direction will also automatically execute the appropriate actions, while a short swipe simply presents buttons that you can tap on to complete the action.
While the default options are somewhat useful, they may not match your normal way of working through your inbox, so the good news is that you can customize these settings even further. Simply take a trip into the iOS Settings app, and in the Mail, Contacts, Calendars section you'll find a setting for "Swipe Options"; from here you can choose to have the swipe-left gesture show a Mark as Read/Unread or Flag button, and the swipe-right gesture can be customized to Mark Read/Unread, Flag, or Archive the message.
Automatically removing old Messages in iOS 8
Traditionally, iOS has retained your entire conversation history in the Messages database,so if you send a lot of pictures and videos via iMessage, this can eat up quite a bit of space on your iPhone over time. Prior to iOS 8, the only real way to deal with this was to remove an entire conversation, basically starting over, or to manually scroll back through your Messages history and remove individual items one-by-one. Fortunately, in iOS 8 there's a slightly easier way.
If you go into the Messages section in your Settings app, you'll see a new option, "Keep Messages." This setting allows you to tell to iOS to automatically purge anything in your Messages conversations older than the specified time frame. Unfortunately, the options are limited to either "Forever" (the behavior in past iOS versions), 30 days, or 1 year, but even 30 days is still far better than having to go through and delete an entire conversation if you're running low on space. Keep in mind that enabling this option will immediately purge everything older than the specified time frame, and continue to do so as a rolling thirty-day or one-year window, so if you want to keep your old conversations backed up somewhere you'll want to look at archiving them using a third-party Mac or PC app before you take the plunge.
Hiding Photos in the iOS 8 Photo Library
Although Apple's new iCloud Photo Library feature remains in beta at this point, iOS 8 still packs in a few nice little photo management features. One of the lesser-known of these is that you can now actually hide photos from showing up in your main timeline in the Photos app. To do this, simply tap-and-hold on a photo — either in the thumbnail or full-screen views — and a context menu will appear with a "Hide" option. Tapping "Hide" brings up a confirmation, explaining that the photo will be hidden from the "Moments, Collections, and Years" views, but still be shown in any albums that it's been explicitly placed into, as well as the Camera Roll. If you're using iCloud Photo Library, the hidden status will also sync across all of your iOS devices, removing the photo from your timeline on all of them.
Once you've hidden at least one photo, a new "Hidden" smart album will also appear in the Albums list, giving you quick access to any photos you've hidden. Unhiding a photo is done in the same manner as hiding a photo — tap and hold on the photo you want to unhide, and the context menu will show the "Unhide" option. This is a handy way to keep photos on your iPhone without having them clutter up your timeline, and it's especially useful if you're using iCloud Photo Library to store your entire photo collection in the cloud.
Restricting web access in iOS 7
Controlling web access on iOS devices has traditionally been somewhat tricky, requiring that you not only disable Safari entirely but also avoid installing apps with their own web browsing capability—a loophole that had Apple requiring even the most innocuous apps to carry a "17+" rating anytime a web browser was included within.
The good news is that iOS 7 significantly improves this, allowing you to permit the use of Safari while still controlling access to specific web sites; you can choose to limit access to common adult sites, block specific sites by address, or block everything that's not on a specific list of permitted sites.
To enable this feature, go into your iOS Settings app and choose General, Restrictions and look for the Websites section. From here, you can choose one of three restriction levels; choosing "Specific Websites Only" also helpfully provides a predefined list of kid-friendly sites that you can customize further. This list will also automatically be included in Safari's bookmarks for faster access.
It's especially worth noting that this works not only with the built-in Safari browser, but any other iOS Browser or app that includes a built-in browser, so you also no longer need to worry about whether something seemingly harmless like a reference app may suddenly provide a backdoor to unfettered Internet access.
Advanced Mail searching in iOS 7
While you're probably already familiar with the Spotlight search feature in iOS 7—simply swipe down from anywhere on the home screen to find it—if you're often trying to track down specific Mail items, you there are some advanced features you may find useful.
Firstly, keep in mind that if you're searching from the home screen, iOS will only search the from, to, and subject fields of emails that are already on your device. To perform a more advanced search you'll need to go into the Mail app and then swipe down to reveal the Search field. Entering a search from here will not only perform a full search on your message content, but also extend the search to messages stored on the mail server that have not yet been downloaded to your device. From here, you can also use keywords similar to those found in the Mac Mail app: for example, a search for "Flagged December 2013" will reveal all messages received in December that you have marked with a flag. Other keywords you can use include VIP, FROM, TO, and various "smart" date formats such as yesterday or last week.
One caveat, however: While iOS Spotlight itself understands these keywords, your mail server may not; once the search continues on the server side, chances are that you'll simply get literal results for these keywords. Still, this can be a pretty handy way to quickly filter through the mail that is already stored on your device.
Using Smart Mailboxes in iOS 7 Mail
If you spend a lot of time working with e-mail on your iOS device, especially across multiple accounts, you may find it handy to know that you can actually now customize your main mailbox listing. With iOS 7, you can change the order of the default smart mailboxes such as the universal inbox, and VIP list, as well as enabling additional types of smart mailboxes. Simply tap the "Edit" button in the top-right corner of the Mailboxes screen to make changes.
Pre-defined smart mailboxes are included to group unread messages, flagged messages, VIP list items, messages with the user's e-mail address in the To or CC line and messages with attachments. If you have more than one mail account configured, you'll also see folders for aggregating all drafts, sent items, and/or trash across all of your mail accounts. You can also add individual mailbox folders to the main screen to saving you from having to dig into the account-specific folder hierarchy for folders you frequently access.

This section briefly presents the new Directory Proxy Server architecture and what is new compared to 5.2. Its aim is to help you understand why literal translation of some 5.2 configuration attributes is not possible.
A Directory Proxy Server instance proxies client application requests to data sources through data views. Data sources and pools of data sources correspond to load balanced groups from 5.2.
Data views, however, are new. They do not correspond to anything present in 5.2. Fundamentally Directory Proxy Server handles incoming connections individually, assigning a connection handler when the connection is opened, and reassigning a connection handler upon rebind when the bind identity changes.
The connection handler gives Directory Proxy Server a set of policy rules for making decisions about what to do with operations requested through a given connection. Connection handlers correspond roughly to network groups in 5.2, yet whereas network groups are configured to use load balanced groups directly.
Directory Proxy Server uses connection handlers mainly to determine policies about a connection, so it can take appropriate decisions about operations performed on that connection. For example, if a connection handler is configured to prevent write operations on a certain connection, Directory Proxy Server can use that property of the policy to short circuit evaluations concerning write operation requests on that connection. In this case, the appropriate errors are returned to the client as soon as Directory Proxy Server has decoded the operation.
LDAP operations on a connection are handled in Directory Proxy Server first through data views. Data views enable Directory Proxy Server to perform DN-based routing. In other words, operations concerning one set of data can be sent to one set of data sources, and operations concerning another set of data can be sent elsewhere. This new architectural form seems unnecessary when you look at it from the point of view of reproducing a 5.2 configuration. Yet data views become indispensable when you want to distribute different directory data across various directories, or when you want to recover different data from disparate data sources to present a virtual directory view of those sources to a client application.
Data views therefore enable Directory Proxy Server to select the data sources via a data source pool to handle the LDAP operation. Data source pools, which correspond to 5.2 load balanced groups, represent sets of data sources each holding equivalent data. A pool defines the load balancing and failover management that Directory Proxy Server performs to spread load across different data sources. As load balancing is performed per operation, the balancing itself is by nature operation based.
Data sources can be understood as sources of data for reads, and sinks of data for writes. Directory Proxy Server handles the following kinds of data sources:
LDAP directories
LDIF files
JDBC-enabled data repositories
Directory Proxy Server 5.2 was essentially a connection based router. In Directory Proxy Server 5.2, a client connection was routed to a directory server. All requests from that client connection were sent to the same directory server until the connection was broken. For compatibility, Directory Proxy Server can be configured to behave in a similar way to Directory Proxy Server 5.2. For information about how to configure this, see Configuring Directory Proxy Server as a Connection Based Router in Sun Directory Server Enterprise Edition 7.0 Administration Guide. For information about how to migrate to this version of Directory Proxy Server, see the Sun Directory Server Enterprise Edition 7.0 Upgrade and Migration Guide.

It was a Lionel Messi masterclass once again on Tuesday, as the Barcelona superstar and Real Madrid's Gonzalo Higuain scored in Argentina's defeat of Chile.
The Camp Nou favourite was the dangerman as Argentina went three points clear at the top of the South American qualification table for World Cup 2014 in Brazil.
Messi and his counterparts weren't entirely in control of the game early onthough, as Chile mised one or two good chances, but there were no surprises when Barcelona's talisman broke the deadlock with just under half an hour played.
He slotted home at the near post after latching onto a terrific Fernando Gago through pass – relief for the Albiceleste was enhanced just three minutes later when they doubled the lead.
Higuain comes in for a bit of criticism at Real Madrid due to the chances he misses, but his strike to seal the points was a thing of beauty.
Los Blancos' striker ran on to a long ball down the right and surged into the area between two defenders, before picking out the far top corner with his left foot.
Chile were left shell-shocked after starting so positively and a late consolation from Felipe Gutierrez was not enough for them to avoid defeat.
Watch Messi and Higuain score two brilliant goals in the video below…

Posted on 10/30/2003 11:45:39 AM PST by FairOpinion
SEOUL - South Korean security authorities were ready to carry out on-board inspections of a Bahama-registered freighter after being tipped off that the ship might carry some members of Al-Qaeda, police said on Thursday.
The 17,000-tonne freighter, the Athenia, which was suspected of carrying members of Osama bin Ladens Al Qaeda group, was due to arrive at the southwestern port of Kunsan late Thursday, the police said.
We have been informed that Al Qaeda members might be hiding in the ship, a police officer in charge of foreign affairs in Kunsan Police station told AFP.
When the ship reaches the port, maritime police agents and immigration authorities will get aboard the ship and carry out sweeping inspections, he said.
The Bahama-registered freighter, carrying logs, was sailing from New Zealand, the Moonhwa Daily reported Seoul said.
South Korea hosts some 37,000 US troops and there are many US military facilities in Kunsan including an airbase.
The alert came as Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld is expected to visit South Korea next month.
Us Navy Tracking Ships in the Med
Good point. THey were giving away free newspaper samples in the city this morning and the headline mentioned something about port security.
More like the AQ's were not on the ship at all when she left New Zealand. The waters from Indonesia to the Southern Philipines are notorious for piracy. If pirates can stop and board a ship, then you can bet the AQ can also.
And the US Navy's Aegis radar will pick that up too.

TACO Seeks RV Friendly Status in Texas Cities
May 17, 2010 by Jeff Crider · 1 Comment
Nearly 200 people representing 70 private parks and 40 vendors are meeting in Kerrville, Texas, this week for the Texas Association of Campground Owners (TACO) annual spring meeting and tradeshow.
The May 16-18 event, held at Guadalupe River RV Resort, included a legislative update on Sunday, during which TACO Executive Director and CEO Brian Schaeffer and legislative consultant Ron Hinkle told park owners that the association is working with several cities across the Lone Star State to pass RV friendly codes to ensure the continued prosperity and growth of private parks in Texas.
TACO launched the effort several weeks ago after the Baytown City Council proposed an ordinance that would have prohibited people from staying in campgrounds or RV parks for more than 30 consecutive days in a six-month period.
"This ordinance, if it had been approved, would have killed the Winter Texan business in Baytown," Schaeffer said. "Fortunately, we were able to have that item pulled from the city council agenda."
TACO is working with Baytown to develop "a friendly RV and park model code" and is extending the effort to several other cities in Texas where the association believes such ordinances are needed.
TACO is also working with independent water boards and the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality to standardize RV park water rates so that parks are charged only for the water they use rather than be assessed separate fees for each campsite.
Sunday's activities also included a roundtable discussion with Jim Rowley of Pecan Park Campground in San Marcos; Bob Kennedy of Lubbock RV Park; Doug Shearer of Parkview Riverside RV Park in Rio Frio; Terry Munoz of Thousand Trails-Lake Conroe; and Bryan Kastleman of Hill County RV Resort in New Braunfels. The panelists provided their insights on "the good, the bad and the ugly" of private park management, and covered topics involving everything from park layout and design to marketing strategies and their advice on how to prioritize park improvements.
Evening activities featured a Mexican fiesta dinner with a live band and a casino, with Rachel Rowley of Pecan Park Campground raking in $70,000 worth of casino chips.
