- Laser printer
You need a laser printer to print your waybills and shipping labels. We highly recommend you use a laser printer rather than ink jet to ensure barcode quality on the waybill. Barcodes printed by ink jet printers can cause scanning problems which could result in delivery delays due to additional manual processing. Use a laser printer and you'll avoid this problem.

My Japanese students and friends were well aware of the racist connotations of the word "Jap" and they found it pretty offensiuve. That's why I have a problem with its casual use as a term for Japanese. Either make it clear that it's an abbreviation, or don't use it at all. Back to top IrishJoined: 13 Jan 2003Posts: 371 Posted: Tue Jul 15, 2003 10:14 pm Post subject: Village of the danned As usual, Lucy is correct--the term "Jap" isn't okay out here. Any local newspaper that used it would risk pissing off a vast number of people. I haven't noticed an uproar but I've been quite busy of late. No doubt Linda will help us out by providing more details. Now back to business... Dan's survey is a real eye-opener--who knew the oppression suffered by his tribe? Some form of affirmative (dannative?) action is needed to right this wrong. Perhaps employers should require non-Dans to attend sensitivity training so that we can all learn to avoid anti-dannist behavior. Thanks to Dan for his courage in openly discussing what is obviously a very emotional topic for everyone involved.

Actually, I think there was another who worked for Regent as well. That makes two; two Dans. There was also a Scandinavian philanthropist (a Dane) who flew into the country from time to time and travelled around by helicopter. He was said to be very wealthy, as well as being a practitioner of the "martial arts". I heard he had reached his ninth or tenth dan.

(Maybe every post requires such a caveat in light of our Mistress Lucy Snow who thinks we are all her students and she can lay her power trip on us at her whimsical ..... oh the hell with her, where was I?) Dan is one of the original twelve tribes of Israel and participated in the original inheritence of the land of Israel. Dan was bordered by Ephraim to the North, Benjamin to the East and Judah to the South. Cities of Dan included Joppa, Timmah and Aijalon. Dan was the son of Jacob. Dan was numbered the seventh tribe of twelve. There is more but it can wait.

(Sorry, lucy) Back to top dandanJoined: 25 Jun 2003Posts: 183Location: Hong Kong Posted: Thu Jul 17, 2003 6:03 pm Post subject: Now then, boys and girls. There have been a number of developments since I last checked the poll. On the downside: 1) There are still some people using this thread to talk about Japan. What's that about? Stop it! 2) There has been a significant decline in the proportion of Dans in the ESL profession, down from 14% to 11% in just 24 hours. This is a clear sign that far from abating, anti-Dan discrimination is actually on the increase and is driving Dans out of the profession. On the upside: 1) There has been an increase in the number of people who are not sure if they are Dans (up to 22%). If we could get these 'floating Dans' to swing our way we could have a third of the ESL industry 'Danned up'. From there, I believe, it would be a short step to gain the necessary momentum to take over the world and stop Dan oppression everwhere! With this in mind I request all you 'don't know Dans' to take this short Dan Test. Are you a man? Do you have a plan? Have you been to Japan? Do you have a nice tan? Do you like flan? Are you somenone who can? If you answered yes to any of these questions you (yes you!) could have an important role to play in the emerging International Dan Movement. Yes! That's right! You could soon be introducing yourself as Dan the Man (although I've already taken that one so you'd have to be Dan the Man Junior), The Dan with a Plan, Dan from Japan or even Dan who likes Flan! (not sure how popular that one will be though, actually) So don't delay, be a Dan today! And remember, you can't keep a good Dan down.

In fact, I'm not any sort of chap at all, so becoming "Dan Dan the Irish Man" is out of the question (although I do enjoy a few rounds of "Danny Boy" when sufficiently sloshed). Biology aside, I still support your cause. I'm thoroughly enlightened! A few days ago, I thought nothing of Dans. Today I realized that my MA program has not a single Dan among its students! Shocking, isn't it? Perhaps a scholarship fund should be started to encourage more Dans to enter the field. Sign me up for DAN (Dan Appreciation Network) today!

The whole thing reeks of poignancy and global significance. I am sympathetic to your cause, even though I myself teach ESL under a different moniker than Dan. It's frontier runners like yourself who give all of us operating dancognito hope and courage.

I am guilty of not being Dan-ist enough, to my undying shame and general mortification. In amongst just generally trying to survive the day here this serious and weighty issue slipped my mind. Thank you for bringing it to my attention. Immediate steps have been taken. The Chairman of this school and all in his employ have forthwith changed their names to Dan. Indeed, following an Executive Order from the henceforth known Chairman Dan all teachers, ancilliary and management personnel are to be known as Dan. The 1300 students at this school are likewise included. The city fathers, in their wisdom and to their eternal credit, have renamed the city 'Dantou'. Prior to your bringing this issue back into clear focus there had only been 2 'Daniel's' here, which I'm not completely sure qualifies them. One is a good guy who is a real Dan at heart. The other is a total arsewipe who has been relegated to the 'nimrod' spot and is forevermore to walk the earth as 'Iel'. You're The Man, Dan!

Later.. after my Awakening I came up with (Huntress of the Dark).. Huntress for my need to feed off energy.. and of the Dark.. comes from my love of mystery.. night time.. darkness itself.. and my Awakening..

For "Bring It On," the very promising and belatedly affecting new cheerleader musical in progress, to succeed on Broadway next season, here's what will have to happen, pronto. The show will have to understand that, right from the start, it must live much closer to the world of the TV show "Friday Night Lights," albeit with an inner-city soul, and run a million miles away from "Legally Blonde" and everything even remotely pink.
Bring on the paint cans immediately, say I, and spray away (along with all the truly toxic pink) all those lame cheerleader gags, snappy one-liners in the hackneyed, played-out "Clueless" and "Mean Girls" modes, and all the other campery and frippery that bog down at least the first 25 percent of this show, an opening quarter that is, to put it frankly, so bad that it nearly chokes the entire evening. Read on, though, for the show recovers, remarkably, like a wounded cheerleader determined to rise again.
The problems at Wednesday night's midtour Chicago opening began with a choppy recitative from composers Tom Kitt ("Next to Normal") and Lin-Manuel Miranda, when we really need a genuinely exciting opening number that conveys the rush and thrill of cheerleading. Yes, cheerleading. For the source movie is about that gender-conservative, Type A-friendly art that show-geek Broadway types view with a certain, well-earned lack of comfort that sends them into default, and defensive, parody mode. That must be resisted at all costs by the librettist Jeff Whitty, and all others involved, for it has been played out. Lord, has it been played out. For good or ill, cheerleading is a popular — maybe even a noble — tradition, and this musical only works when it celebrates the formidable athletic skill of this cast and understands the role the activity — maybe even the art — plays in the actual lives of hundreds of thousands of ordinary American girls and young women. It must be taken seriously, as it taken seriously by those likely to buy the tickets.
Fans of the 2000 movie (and there are many) will recall that the lively plot involves a cheerleader (here named Campbell and played by the peppy but emotionally flat and thus not very likable Taylor Louderman, who needs to find some vulnerability, fast), cheated out of her competitive glory by a sneaky rival (Eva, played with richer complexity by Elle McLemore) and sent from a whiter-than-white suburban school to a rougher educational establishment in the 'hood, where cheerleading squads aren't in the halls. Just metal detectors.
Once "Bring It On," which is directed and choreographed by Andy Blankenbuehler, arrives at this second school, Jackson High, which happens well past the middle of the first act (far too late), the show starts to find its feet. Political correctness is thrown away, which is as it should be when a show deals with the reality of high school life, and the show starts talking, and singing, in truths. Blankenbuehler's visual ideas now start making sense and looking fresh. And once the show finally wakes up to what kind of lyrical, melodic, deep-seated composer is actually co-writing the music, Kitt unspools some truly gorgeous melodies. Miranda's rapping lyrics and song stylings kick in — the previous stuff at the white school is strictly throwaway, like the one-dimensional white characters — and you find yourself caring greatly about spunky Danielle (the excellent Adrienne Warren) and the other multicultural Jackson students who prefer to be part of a crew than a squad.
Now that Kitt, who shares composing credit with Miranda (it's not entirely clear who wrote what, but one can guess), has found his way into the show, he unleashes a slew of terrific songs, including the spectacular "It's All Happening" (which really should end the first act), the powerful "It Ain't No Thing" and the witty "Might As Well Enjoy the Trip." Miranda's lyrics (he shares credit with Amanda Green) suddenly get very funny, even coupling Bristol Palin with Genghis Kahn as examples of the world's great opportunists. Truly, in the second act, Kitt and/or Miranda's work is fabulous: You should hear the unnecessarily provocative chords unleashed under "Eva's Rant." The boffo climatic number "Cross the Line," wherein the Jackson kids get to self-actualize and say their free-form piece to the too-white world, is equally rich and emotionally potent (several of the character roles in this show are terrifically played, including Gregory Haney as the unusual cheerleader La Cienega, Ryann Redmond as the geeky Bridget, the big girl who breaks free of playing the mascot, and Jason Gotay as love interest Randall, a character whose sung confession of the pain of his youth is wonderful, thanks as much to the warm-centered Gotay as the authors).
In Act 2, the initially quiet audience gets totally with this motley Jackson crew. If only they were not fighting against cliches, we'd really be invested in their battle with the other kind of cheerleaders, a clan that "Bring It On" has yet to explore with honesty. It's telling that we don't see the other team do their routine in the competition that closes the show, even though we clearly should, for the thrill of competition to climax. The show just does not know how to show us their beating, complacent hearts. Even though it must.
This young, huge cast does remarkably athletic feats on the stage of the Cadillac Palace Theatre, which any cheerleading person in your life would surely enjoy, especially given the way their field takes center stage, there being no focus-pulling athletes in the way. Frankly, the show could stand more routines. Just as to witness a Twyla Tharp show is to feel in awe of what human bodies (other than one's own) can do, so this show needs to showcase what its cast can do. "Bring It On" need fear the trite, the obvious and most surely the pink, but not the great, all-American cheer and the power of a passionate high-school memory. There, "Bring it On" is on terra firma.
When: Through March 25
Where: Cadillac Palace Theatre, 151 W. Randolph St.
Running time: 2 hours, 25 minutes
Tickets: $18-$85 at 800-775-2000 or broadwayinchicago.com

The following definitions and proposition are taken from the paper The geometry of Frobenioids I by S. Mochizuki.
Let $\mathbb{N}_{\ge 1}$ be the set of positive integers. $\mathbb{N}_{\ge 1}$ is a directed set by the order relation $a|b$. Let $M$, $N$ be commutative monoids(the binary operations are written additively). A map $f\colon M \rightarrow N$ is called a morphism if $f(x + y) = f(x) + f(y)$ for any $x, y$ and $f(0) = 0$.
For every $n \in \mathbb{N}_{\ge 1}$, the multiplication map $x \rightarrow nx$ on $M$ is a morphism.
$M$ is said to be torsion-free if $nx = 0$ implies $x = 0$ for every $n \in \mathbb{N}_{\ge 1}$.
Let $M^{gp}$ be the groupification of $M$, i.e. the grothendieck group of $M$. Let $\psi\colon M \rightarrow M^{gp}$ be the canonical map. If $\psi$ is injective, $M$ is said to be integral.
$M$ is said to be saturated if $na \in \psi(M)$ for some $n \in \mathbb{N}_{\ge 1}$ and $a \in M^{gp}$, then $a \in \psi(M)$.
$M$ is said to be perfect if the multiplication map $x \rightarrow nx$ is bijective for every $n \in \mathbb{N}_{\ge 1}$.
The perfection $M^{pf}$ of $M$ is defined as follows. Let $M_a = M$ for every $a \in \mathbb{N}_{\ge 1}$. if $a|b$, we define a morphism $f_{ba}\colon M_a \rightarrow M_b$ by $f_{ba}(x) = (b/a)x$. Then $(M_a)_{a\in \mathbb{N}_{\ge 1}}$ and $(f_{ba})$ consitute a direct(or inductive) system. We define $M^{pf} = colim_{a\in \mathbb{N}_{\ge 1}} M_a$. There exists the canonical morphism $\phi\colon M = M_1 \rightarrow M^{pf}$.
My question: How do we prove the following proposition?
(1) $\phi\colon M \rightarrow M^{pf}$ is injective if $M$ is torsion-free, integral, and saturated.
(2) $M$ is perfect if and only if $\phi$ is an isomorhism.
Motivation Recently(August, 2012), S. Mochizuki submitted a series of papers(Inter-universal Teichmuller Theory I,II,III,IV) which develops his new theory. As an application of his theory, he wrote a proof of ABC conjecture. I think the validity of the proof has not yet been confirmed by other mathematicians. However, considering his track record, I think it's worthwhile to read the papers. He referred to The geometry of Frobenioids I for the notation and terminolgy concerning monoids and categories.

Since the economic crash some CPA firms have managed to double in size, increase their customer base and open new offices by utilizing data to understand their customers' needs and adopting new technologies to create innovative offerings.
Congruently, we've seen a surge of new software to fill this need. The only question is which ones actually help grow your business? At the end of the day, technology shouldn't be taking away from your time spent on clients; such choices should enrich those experiences so you can provide the highest value service – your advice.
To stay competitive in this market, you have to differentiate yourself from competitors by leveraging new solutions to save time on remedial tasks so you can focus on consultation and new business. The right technology decisions can give you the ability to streamline your current processes, enhance your offerings and connect with potential clients on a new level.
Get Out of the Books and Into the Cloud
Right now, the biggest challenge accountants face with data collection is the sheer mass and diverse amount of it. Financial data comes in myriad formats with no universal method to aggregate, organize and report it all – proving an overwhelming task for CPAs.
Fortunately, new cloud computing SaaS programs are tackling this issue by providing accountants with their own dashboards displaying customer needs, profitability, and product usage so they can better serve their clients. On the business side, this means visual reports that users can actually understand in a matter of seconds. This saves accountants hundreds of hours of time analyzing and presenting data, so they can get out of the books and spend valuable face time with clients.
These tools also encourage customer interaction by enabling them to compare industry averages and monitor credit lines to strengthen risk management. By adopting these technologies, accountants can provide valuable recommendations and increase retention levels.
Surprisingly there is no upfront cost for a number of these software solutions, so you can try these products for free and receive an outstanding ROI – it's a no brainer for any CPA looking to increase revenue.
Eliminate Risks and Ensure Security
As we move closer and closer to implementing technology into all levels of the accounting process, the need for security is vital to the overall success of a firm. Risk management solutions prevent those threats and provide customers with an extra layer of security. By investing in these programs, accountants have more control over managing capital and minimizing credit risks. We suggest using services that have world class data centers like Amazon or Microsoft that pass yearly external security audits. It's imperative that CPAs implement these programs to protect their clients' information, along with their reputation as a trusted financial advisor.
Start Your Social Media Presence
Social media is a powerful channel for strengthening customer relationships and gaining new ones. Rather than waiting on the phone for a national customer service representative, many customers are heading directly to their Facebook page to share their personal opinion. It's essential for accountants to embrace this movement by creating company pages on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Yelp, and even YouTube. By creating a prominent online presence, accountants are able to showcase their services in a variety of new multimedia formats. Below are the ways we suggest capitalizing on each specific social media space:
- LinkedIn = Use your company page to share recent blog posts, images and upcoming news with the B2B community
- Facebook = Connect with your clientele on a personal level, join groups and create events
- Twitter = Share brief updates and links with your clients, partners and peers
- Yelp = Monitor your current reviews and ensure you have a positive Yelp presence
- YouTube = Create videos to showcase some of your highest value services
These platforms also allow CPAs to learn more about their clients' customer base, so they can provide the best possible offerings according to their needs and seasonal changes. Through social media efforts, enhanced security and cloud computing – accountants can now build their business not just within their community, but from all over the world.

Aussie Weather by FuntopiaTV
We are a small multimedia company based in Melbourne, Australia. Our projects range from mobile app development, ecommerce sites and social media campaigns. We like to have fun, and on the odd day you will find developers filling each others offices with balloons or turning them into tropical getaways.
The app is designed for Android users in Australia and its territories. As people from all ages and backgrounds may be using the app, and they may only be in it for a few seconds at a time, the icons need to quickly and clearly display the weather condition expected for that day.
In a nutshell, we are after 15 weather icons. These need to cover the following weather conditions:
- Sunny
- Clear
- Partly cloudy
- Hazy
- Light rain
- Windy
- Fog
- Showers
- Rain
- Dusty
- Frost
- Snow
- Storm
- Light showers.
(examples of these can be seen here: http://www.bom.gov.au/NexGenFWS/icontable.shtml )
The icons need to have a transparent background. (An example of their placement within the app is http://weather.funtopia.tv/screensh…t_view.png & http://weather.funtopia.tv/screensh…t_view.png )
The icons should be clean & elegant. A user must be able to know what the weather is forecast to be like just by looking at it.
Icons using vector shapes are preferred. Android recommends designing on a board of 864x864; however, these icons will be used at sizes of 72x72 and below. Android icon design guidelines are here: http://developer.android.com/guide/…esign-tips
The attached image is a design we liked on another site, however, it did not contain all the conditions we required. The icons should not have a shadow underneath.
A creative, elegant and clean design will make your submission standout.

Yasawa Islands
Yasawa Islands
You won't find any shops or banks here, but with so much natural beauty it'll make for a great break from civilisation. Visiting the islands once was limited to cruise ships, and passengers were forbidden to actually set foot on the Yasawas until the 1950s. Thanks to a Government ecotourism initiative, the islands are now dotted with accommodation options.
With gorgeous beaches, abundant sunshine and a range of backpacker resorts, this is the place to come for an affordable retreat in paradise.
The Yasawas are some of the most picturesque islands in Fiji, but accommodation is quite a different experience to the nearby Mamanucas. While luxury resorts are increasingly popping up, the Yasawas are better known for the backpacking and flashpacking options. Many of the affordable resorts and lodges are run by locals, giving you a true Fijian experienceAll accommodation in Yasawa Islands
As well as ever-popular snorkelling and kayaking, the Yasawas are great for sailing. Experience the stunning scenery on board a cruise ship or a chartered yacht, where you'll get a taste of a different island every day. Swimming, fishing, village visits and campfire barbecues are common activities.
In the northern part of the island group, the limestone caves of Sawa-i-lau are a great destination for a day trip. Or, for the more adventurous, you can dive with manta rays on Drawaqa Island and snorkel with sharks on Kuata Island.
How to get to the Yasawa Islands
Getting to the Yasawa Islands is a short 30-minute hop by seaplane from Nadi. You'll want your camera handy – the views are amazing!
If you're not in a rush, you can relax on a boat trip with one of the ferry companies. Take in the beautiful scenery while enjoying refreshments from the onboard bar and café.
Dining in the Yasawa Islands
Dining options in the Yasawas are resort-based, as there are no private restaurants in the island group. However, on islands with more than one resort, you're welcome to dine at the neighbouring resort's restaurant.
For an authentic Fijian experience, many resorts will make arrangements with the local villages allowing you to sample traditional fare during village tours, hikes or Meke nights.

This is an archived article that was published on sltrib.com in 2013, and information in the article may be outdated. It is provided only for personal research purposes and may not be reprinted.
The U.S. Attorney's Office for Utah is asking a federal judge to gag indicted St. George businessman Jeremy Johnson, accusing him of engaging in a smear campaign against prosecutors and investigators that threatens to disrupt the judicial process.
Johnson, who has been waging a high-profile media assault to assert his innocence and accuse prosecutors of misconduct, fired back Tuesday.
"I find it ironic that the government, with their endless resources and teams of attorneys, are afraid of what I might say to the media or post on the Internet," Johnson said in an statement. "... In an act of desperation they want to deprive me now of my First Amendment right to free speech."
Johnson also has made headlines of late by accusing new Utah Attorney General John Swallow of being part of a bribery scheme to help fend off a Federal Trade Commission investigation of Johnson's I Works company.
The motion, filed late Monday, says Johnson is targeting, in particular, Assistant U.S. Attorney Brent Ward, the lead prosecutor in the criminal case against him, with a campaign that alleges Ward threatened to indict his family if Johnson did not plead guilty.
U.S. Attorney for Utah David Barlow has said no threats were made, and the government argues such accusations could influence the outcome of a trial.
Federal Magistrate Judge Paul Warner has scheduled a hearing for Friday to listen to arguments on the motion for a gag order.
Media attorney Jeff Hunt said such a motion is unusual, particularly for Utah.
"I can't remember a time recently where an order of this nature, that the relief sought by prosecutors here, has been granted," said Hunt, adding, however, that the circumstances in the Johnson case are different than most others.
"It's unusual," Hunt said, "but the facts of this case are unusual."
The government's motion cites a number of what it says are false statements from Johnson posted on websites, in videos or in comments to the news media. Those include:
• Johnson's EvilFTC.com website in which he posts videos, articles and blogs about the lawsuit he and his I Works company face in federal court in Las Vegas that accuses him of illegal operations. The website contains links with, according to the motion, "numerous false (and possibly defamatory) statements" about Ward. It also accuses the FTC of witness tampering.
• Statements to the news media, including The Salt Lake Tribune, in which Johnson said he had planned to plead guilty in his criminal case only because Ward was threatening to indict his family if he did not.
• His "Life of Jeremy Johnson" blog in which he repeats accusations that Ward and Internal Revenue Service Special Agent Jamie Hipwell, the lead investigator in the criminal case, threatened his family.
• An "Unofficial Fan Page United States Attorney for the District of Utah," a Facebook link which appears to be connected to Johnson in which items are posted about his case. The defendant's family, friends and colleagues add frequent comments disparaging Ward and others. Those who post are potential witnesses, the motion says.
• Videos posted on YouTube and elsewhere that allege, among other things, that "witnesses [were] pressured to lie for government."
The U.S. Attorney's Office for Utah declined to comment, but in its motion said that "while defendant has the right to his day in court, he is not entitled to litigate his case in the media (print, broadcast or social) by means of false accusation and innuendo."
Johnson, in his statement, defended his campaign, saying he feared what Ward might do to his family.
"I feel that the only way to stop him is to expose the truth," Johnson said. "It is my hope that the court will allow me to keep my First Amendment right to speak the truth about the government's conduct in this case."
Hunt said the motion does raise First Amendment questions. But, he said, courts have recognized limits to free-speech rights of attorneys and other parties in certain circumstances.
"So you don't have an absolute unlimited right," Hunt added, "to say whatever you want in a criminal prosecution."
But he noted courts have other tools to weed out potential jurors who may have been exposed to information that could hinder their impartiality, including jury questionnaires and lawyers' ability to dismiss potential jurors they don't want on the panel.
The FTC sued Johnson in December 2010, alleging fraudulent advertising of products to consumers who were inadequately informed that they would be charged high monthly fees when they bought initial products for a small price. The agency also contends Johnson created dozens of false-front companies to continue operations after Visa and MasterCard fined him and threatened to cut off credit and debit card transactions.
In June 2011, Johnson was indicted on a felony wire-fraud charge stemming from the FTC case.
Johnson's Internet campaign and comments to news reporters have been aimed at promoting his contention that I Works operated legally and that the FTC built its case on false information, including allegations of witness tampering and inducing false evidence.
He also accuses the FTC of pressuring the Utah Attorney General's Office to indict him even though prosecutors and investigators did not interview a single witness.
On Jan. 11, Johnson was to plead guilty to two other charges, but the proceedings stalled when he sought to have the government publicly agree not to prosecute a list of people, including family members and new Utah Attorney General John Swallow.
Johnson has alleged that Swallow helped broker a bribe to enlist Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid in an effort to derail the FTC investigation.
Swallow strongly denies any such scheme, saying he merely helped Johnson hire lobbyists to work on his case.
Johnson has said he did not want Swallow to suffer the same fate he has at the hands of the government and, therefore, sought to protect him from prosecution, something Swallow says he did not seek and did not want.
Reid's office, too, has denied that the powerful Nevada Democrat had part in any such deals.
The U.S. Attorney's Office has confirmed that Swallow is the subject of a federal investigation.
Johnson's statement
"I find it ironic that the government, with their endless resources and teams of attorneys, are afraid of what I might say to the media or post on the Internet.
"There are certain guaranteed rights that we all have as Americans. Among those are:
"The right to our property, Fifth Amendment;
"The right to a trial by an impartial jury, Sixth and Seventh amendments;
"The right to reasonable bail, Eighth Amendment;
"The right to speedy trial, Sixth Amendment;
"The right to due process, Fifth Amendment.
"Over the last two years, certain actors in the government have engaged in a systematic effort to convince the public that I should not be afforded any of these rights. They have issued numerous false press releases designed to generate negative media stories to support their allegations. They have also gone on national television and bragged about having an "out in this case" because they were able to trick a federal judge into letting them seize and sell my assets and deny me an attorney.
"As Americans, we are sensitive of these issues and most people believe that everyone is entitled to these rights even if the government alleges you did something wrong. The media has been an important tool for these government actors to keep public opinion on their side throughout this. Now it seems these people do not like their own medicine. In an act of desperation they want to deprive me now of my First Amendment right to free speech. They are desperate to keep the public from knowing the facts about our case, including the falsified evidence they used to seize my assets, deny me an attorney, etc. [Prosecutor] Brent Ward in particular is desperate to make sure that the following facts are not allowed to be published:
"Brent Ward threaten[ed] to arrest my friends and family if I would not tell the judge I was guilty.
"Brent Ward agreed not to prosecute any of the people on his hit list in exchange for my guilty plea.
"Brent Ward planned to run for AG [attorney general] but decided to endorse his friend John Swallow instead.
"Brent Ward and John Swallow both knew John would be given immunity as part of my plea deal.
"Brent Ward has threatened numerous witnesses in this case to give false testimony.
"Brent Ward arrested me before he did any investigation or spoke to even one alleged victim.
"There are multiple criminal investigations going on against Brent Ward and others related to their tactics of using threats and extortion to get what they want in this case.
"I am only speaking out now because Brent Ward has a proverbial loaded gun pointed at the heads of my friends and family. They have committed no crime. They are willing to come in without the benefit of an attorney and prove to [U.S. Attorney for Utah] David Barlow they have done no wrong. My greatest fear is that Brent Ward will be allowed to do the same thing to the people I care about that he has done to me. I feel that the only way to stop him is to expose the truth. It is my hope that the court will allow me to keep my First Amendment right to speak the truth about the government's conduct in this case. I only want to be treated fairly and impartially and to be granted the same rights every citizen is guaranteed under the Constitution."

STOCKTON - The number of people riding regional Amtrak rail service in the past 15 years has grown by more than 67 percent in San Joaquin County, outpacing similar metropolitan areas on short-distance Amtrak routes across the country, according to a recently released report.
STOCKTON - The number of people riding regional Amtrak rail service in the past 15 years has grown by more than 67 percent in San Joaquin County, outpacing similar metropolitan areas on short-distance Amtrak routes across the country, according to a recently released report.
For county riders boarding Amtrak trains from two stations in Stockton and one in Lodi, that means taking the San Joaquins route, which has seen a similar jump in ridership along the service connecting Sacramento, Oakland and Bakersfield, according to the report from the Brookings Institution Metropolitan Policy Program.
The report's release comes at a time when a growing coalition of regional transportation agencies is taking shape that will take over operation of the popular Amtrak route through the San Joaquin Valley.
It's a move local officials say can bring more innovation, flexibility and funding to the rail line while building on the past success mentioned in the Brookings report.
This past week, the seventh and eighth government agencies formally agreed to enter into a the newly formed San Joaquin Joint Powers Authority.
"(Joint powers authorities) seem to be a little more nimble and seem to be able to respond a lot faster to rider needs," said Bob Johnson, who will represent San Joaquin County on the new body. He's a Lodi City Council member and the chairman of the San Joaquin Regional Rail Commission, which operates the Altamont Corridor Express - or ACE train, formerly known as the Altamont Commuter Express.
The new partnership also means a stronger regional voice when seeking state and federal funds, officials said. The way was cleared by legislation authored by Sen. Cathleen Galgiani, D-Stockton, when she was in the state Assembly last year.
Signed into law in October, the bill allowed for the new organization if a minimum of six agencies joined. That threshold was passed last month. The San Joaquins Amtrak route is currently administered by the state Department of Transportation.
"It went very quickly," said Dan Leavitt, manager of regional initiatives for the rail commission. The new board will get started by establishing bylaws, drafting a business plan and hiring an agency to manage the service, he said. The change could be complete by mid-2014, he said.
The change was inspired by the Capitol Corridor service between Sacramento and the Bay Area, which went through the same process in the 1990s.
From 1997 to 2012, the annual number of riders increased by more than 256 percent, according to the Brookings report, titled "A New Alignment: Strengthening America's Commitment to Passenger Rail." It had 1.7 million riders in 2012.
The San Joaquins service grew by more than 66 percent over those 15 years, up to a record 1.1 million riders in 2012. It's Amtrak's sixth-most-ridden route and overlaps with the first planned segment of the state's planned high-speed rail system.
"This increase in ridership ... really does say there is a demand for this service, especially in this short-distance corridor," said Joseph Kane, one of the report's co-authors.
The report found that routes of 400 miles or less carried 90 percent of Amtrak's riders.
But the report did more than just look at Amtrak routes. It also looked at the 100 largest metropolitan areas.
Data about people who board the train in the Stockton area - essentially San Joaquin County - showed ridership grew by more than 67 percent, according to the report.
That rate of growth outpaces the population growth of the county, according to U.S. Census Bureau figures and estimates from the state Department of Finance.

Caramel White Chocolate Cookies
I did it.
I recreated one my favorite cookie of all time, and trust me folks.
It's a winner.
Now when it comes to cookies, I have admitted on here before that I'm usually a bit of a minimalist when it comes to chocolate. Yes yes yes, I like it, but somehow I missed inheriting that intense chocoholic gene that 99% of women (yes, and many men) seem to have. So I will eat and enjoy occasional chocolate chip cookie or chocolate bar, but one or two bites is always enough for me.
My neighborhood coffee shop started serving these big beautiful caramel white chocolate cookies about a year ago. And I must say — when judging a book by its cover (ok, an entire case of various cookies), this cookie was always the most beautiful. Granted, its caramel swirls are baked in, and the cookie is about the size of your head! But after staring at these cookies for months, I finally decided to try one with my coffee one day. And I absolutely fell in love.
I don't know if it was the caramel. Or the white chocolate. Or the inherent magic that somehow seems to burst forth with a bite of these cookies.
But they pretty immediately surged to the top of the list of my favorite cookies, and have been there ever since.
So after paying $3 a cookie at the coffee shop for a year for this heavenly sweetness, I decided it was finally time to try and make a version myself at home. And what better excuse to try out a new cookie recipe than for the 2013 Great Food Blogger Cookie Swap!
The swap — organized by my talented friends Lindsay and Julie — invites food bloggers from all over the country to create new cookie recipes, mail them to three bloggers that they are randomly paired with, and then blog about the recipe so that the entire world can share in the (literal) sweetness. I participated in the event last year and loved it, so was excited to be a part again. Although thanks to some kitchen remodeling delays, my cookies are arriving way late this year (sorry food bloggers!). But hey, better late than never when it comes to cookies, right?!
Ok, so for the cookies, all I did was mix up some basic cookie dough. Then I mixed in a bunch of white chocolate chips and caramel bits (you can find them in the baking section next to the chocolate chips), and then baked them up to soft and chewy perfection.
And that they were. I want to mention that these cookies could totally stand on their own just like this. Delish!
But if you really want to go the extra mile, which I of course recommend, these cookies are pretty much epic if you take the time to top them with some caramel drizzle. You can either make homemade caramel sauce from scratch, or just melt down the leftover caramel bits to make a caramel sauce.
I mean, just look at those little works of art. Who can argue with a caramel drizzle?!?
I apparently can't. Because I have been eating the leftover cookie swap cookies (yes, I made a triple batch after the first test batch) for breakfast lunch and dinner, and still have not grown tired of them. The sweet white chocolate paired with the salty caramel is just perfection in my book. And a nice chewy cookie makes any day better.
So do yourself (and your friends and family) a favor and try a batch pronto. And be sure to check out the hashtag #fbcookieswap to see all of the other amazing cookie recipes floating around the blogosphere this week. Cookie love abounds. :)
Caramel White Chocolate Cookies
These caramel white chocolate cookies are my new favorites. Seriously.
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg
- 2 tsp. vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp. cornstarch
- 1 tsp. baking soda
- ½ tsp. salt
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1 cup caramel bits
- 1 cup caramel sauce (homemade, store-bought, or made from melted down caramel bits**)
Preheat oven to 350 F.
Using an electric mixer with the paddle attachment, cream together butter and sugars on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add egg and vanilla and beat in until combined, scraping down the bowl partway through.
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking soda and salt until evenly mixed. Add mixture into the dough, and beat on low speed until combined. Fold in chocolate chips and caramel bits, and stir until just combined.
Measure dough into rounded tablespoon-fulls, and roll into round balls. Place on a parchment-covered baking sheet, and dot with extra chocolate chips if desired. Repeat with remaining dough. Then transfer the cookie sheet to the freezer and chill for 10 minutes.
Transfer sheet to oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, until the tops of the cookies ever so slightly begin to brown. Remove pan and let rest for 5 minutes. Then transfer cookies to a wire rack to finish cooling. Repeat with remaining dough.
Once the cookies have reached room temperature, drizzle with caramel sauce if desired. You can do this by dipping a fork in the caramel sauce and swishing it back and forth over the cookies. Or you can transfer the caramel sauce to a piping bag or ziplock bag and drizzle that way.
Store cookies in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
**For caramel drizzle**
Homemade: I love this recipe for microwave caramel sauce
Storebought: I recommend buying the caramel sauce in the tubs (for caramel apples) and warming it a bit for drizzling. I don't recommend the caramel topping for ice cream.
Melted Caramel Bits: Follow the instructions on the bag for melting caramel safely, as it can burn. Or just add caramel bits to a microwave-proof bowl with a small splash of water or cream. Heat in 20 second intervals, stirring between each, until caramel is melted. Add more water or cream if needed to thin.

Love these cookies – I can never resist anything involving caramel. Add some white chocolate in there and I'm totally sold.
They look amazing! I can't wait to get my package :) I'm putting coffee on as soon as the mail gets here!
Oh my this sounds like an amazing cookie!
I just made these last night, and they are delicious! I'm not a big fan of white chocolate, but I can't resist anything made with caramel. For fellow caramel lovers, I highly recommend the drizzle on top. Just for kicks, I added chopped pecans to part of the batch. Both the regular cookies and the ones with pecans were heavenly!
Pingback: Tasty Caramel White Chocolate Cookies Recipe | DIY Home Things
I made these cookies and they smelt delicious I cannot wait to try them one of my litle bros are asking me repeatedly "are the cokkies ready yet?"
These are amazing! I've had the recipe saved for almost a year and am kicking myself that I didn't bake them sooner. They are so soft! Is that the corn starch? White chocolate and caramel is so much more subtle than milk or semi-sweet would have been. Excellent cookie!
Pingback: White Chocolate Caramel Cookies #Choctoberfest | The PinterTest Kitchen
I stumbled upon this cookie recipe a couple years ago, and since then it has become my #1 cookie recipe! Sometimes I add nuts, or leave off the caramel, or just use chocolate chips. I've used this recipe when making cookies for special gatherings, and it never fails that someone asks me to share the recipe with them! Thank you so much for sharing this.
is it required to put the biscuits in the freezer
could dark chocolate be used

Details/TV: At MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Wednesday-Saturday, Pac-12 Network and Fox Sports 1
Details/TV: 3 p.m., Sunday, Ch. 2:
If you're judging it simply on style points, UCLA's basketball team didn't necessarily dazzle anyone with last season's first Vegas-hosted Pac-12 Tournament. The Bruins came in as the regular-season champs and the top seed and then made it to the tournament final short-handed, only to lose to Oregon. It all started with a sluggish win over Arizona State that wasn't as distracting as the new "impact camo" uniforms Adidas forced UCLA's roster to wear. It wasn't the full blue T-shirt and crazy striped pants ensemble that had alums and students writing letters of desperation to athletic director Dan Guerrero, but a less gaudy white version had the Associated Press nonetheless refer to it as something that "looked like pajamas." The uni's were retired after that game and, eventually, so was Ben Howland, whose team lost in the first round of the NCAA Tournament to Minnesota.
Gearing up for this year's postseason festival, the Bruins are back in some new Adidas garb, something the company calls the "most advanced uniform system and basketball apparel technology so they can take on the challenges and intense play of March." Seems like an unfair advantage for Steve Alford's bunch, doesn't it? These navy and gold T-shirt tops are "inspired by the Los Angeles skyline at night," Adidas folks said. That's all fine, as long as the Bruins don't get caught up in the nightlife.
UCLA (23-8, 12-6) may have finished conference play as the No. 2 seed, but it isn't scaring anyone after a head-scratching loss at Washington State in the final Pac-12 regular-season game. The Bruins start the tournament Thursday (6 p.m., Pac-12 Network) against either Oregon or Oregon State. USC (11-20, 2-16) ended up as the No. 12 seed and open the tournament Wednesday against Colorado (2:30 p.m., Pac-12 Network). A UCLA win puts it in Friday's semifinal (8:30 p.m., FS1), targeting Saturday's final (3 p.m., FS1).
The Pac-12 Tournament is expected to produce a No. 1 seed for the 68-team NCAA event, even as Arizona (28-3) lost its regular-season finale to Oregon. The Wildcats also hope to land a spot in the West bracket that opens in San Diego and goes through to the regional finals in Anaheim. Other probable No. 1 seeds likely will go to 34-0 Wichita State (which clinched the Missouri Valley Conference tournament) and current No. 1-ranked Florida. Then it's a toss-up among Villanova, Virginia, Kansas or Wisconsin. With more of a rooting interest in how San Diego State lands — and always trying to find out where Duke lurks — we'll also keep an eye on:
West Coast Conference Tournament final, Las Vegas: Tuesday at 6 p.m., ESPN (Monday's semifinals are at 6 p.m. on ESPN and 8:30 p.m. on ESPN2)
Big West Tournament final, Honda Center: Saturday at 7:30 p.m., ESPN2 (Prime Ticket has Thursday's quarterfinals at noon, 2:30 p.m., 6 p.m. and 8:30 p.m.; ESPNU has Friday's semifinals at 6:30 p.m. and 9 p.m.)
Mountain West Tournament final, Las Vegas: 3 p.m., Saturday, Ch. 2
Big East Tournament final, New York: 5:30 p.m., Saturday, FS1
Big 12 Tournament final, Kansas City: 6 p.m., Saturday, ESPN
ACC Tournament final, Greensboro, N.C.: 10 a.m., Sunday, ESPN
SEC Tournament final, Atlanta: noon, Sunday, ESPN
Big Ten Tournament final, Indianapolis: 12:30 p.m., Sunday, Ch. 2
NO. 2 NHL: KINGS vs. DUCKS
Details/TV: 7:30 p.m., Saturday, Staples Center, FSW, Prime
All the frills and folly that surrounded their last meeting outdoors at Dodger Stadium are gone, and the Freeway Face-Off returns indoors. A half dozen wins separate the Pacific-leading Ducks from the Kings, with San Jose buffering them. If this comes down to a shootout, the stats are in the Kings' favor. It includes a 3-2 shootout win over the Ducks on Dec. 3, the first of Martin Jones' eight victories in a row to start his career. Still, the Ducks have won two of the three meetings this season — 3-0 at Dodger Stadium and 2-1 in Anaheim two nights earlier, both against Jonathan Quick. After this, there's one more meeting, on the final game of the regular season on April 12, also at Staples Center.
Kings vs. Toronto, 7:30 p.m., Thursday, Staples Center, FSW (Jim Fox bobblehead giveaway)
NO. 3 NBA: CLIPPERS vs. GOLDEN STATE
Details/TV: 7:30 p.m., Wednesday, Staples Center, Prime:
Things easily could end up where these teams meet in the first round of the playoffs about a month from now. The Warriors out-rebounded the Clippers 53-34 and outscored them 66-22 in the lane during a 111-92 victory in Oakland on Jan. 30 as the Clippers still were without Chris Paul. The Clippers point guard had 42 points and 15 assists in an 11-point win in the team's Staples Center opener back on Halloween, 2013.
NO. 4 NBA: LAKERS at OKLAHOMA CITY
Details/TV: 6:30 p.m., Thursday, TNT:
What's the value again of playing two consecutive games against the best team in the Western Conference in nationally televised appearances? Maybe there should be some better flex scheduling devices in place. To make it crazier, the Lakers then go to San Antonio to face the Spurs the next night (5 p.m., Friday, TWC SportsNet).
NO. 5 ARENA FOOTBALL: L.A. KISS at SAN ANTONIO
Details/TV: Saturday at 5 p.m.:
Pucker up, it's Rock & Roll Hall of Fame kabuki rock band meets indoor sports. And we've got to admit the billboards kind of scare us. The Kiss launch their season against a team called the Talons, with no TV coverage to document it. Before we're done by the end of July, the 18-game schedule will have some appearances on ESPN2, CBS Sports Net and even Ch. 13. Yet, how do we know if Kiss quarterback Colt Brennan even completes a pass?
Details/TV: Newport Beach Country Club, Friday-Sunday, Golf Channel:
The 20th version of this 50-and-older event makes its way back to the O.C., with David Frost acting as defending champ after going 19-under in the three-round tour to win by five over Fred Couples.
Details/TV: Inglewood Forum, Saturday and Sunday, 11 a.m. each day:
When this thing rolled into town a year ago, wrestling was in a precarious position. The Olympics put it on notice, so organizers staged events in various cities as they experimented with new scoring and timing rules to scare up new attention. This time, USA Wrestling decided the international dual meet championships will go to the Forum instead of the Sports Arena, "The Forum's intimate ambiance will make everyone feel as if they they're a part of the action," Sid Greenfeig, senior VP of West Coast business operations for the former home of the Lakers and Kings, said of the recently reopened concert venue. The World Cup can seat about 7,500. Team USA will go up against competitors from Iran, Ukraine, Armenia, Gaorgia, India, Japan, Mongolia, Russia and Turkey. More info: www.wrestlingworldcup.com. Sessions are broken up into 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. and 5-9:30 p.m. on Saturday and 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sunday leading into the final dual meets from 5-7 p.m.
Details/TV: Women's and men's final, noon, Sunday, at Indian Wells, ESPN2:
Maria Sharapova heads toward the final match as the defending champ, but she's just the No. 4 seed. She still would have a semifinal meeting against top seed Li Na of China before even getting to the championship. Li defeated countrywoman Zheng Jie in her first match, the second event she has played since winning the Australian Open.
Details/TV: 4 p.m., Tuesday, at Howard Jones Field, USC campus:
More photo opps for Steve Sarkisian as he takes the Trojans through a 15-practice session climaxed by the spring game at the Coliseum on Saturday, April 19. It's also more time to watch the progress of redshirt freshman Max Browne, the Trojans' proclaimed quarterback of the future.
NO. 10 SOCCER: GALAXY vs. CLUB TIJUANA
Details/TV: 7 p.m., Wednesday, StubHub Center, Fox Soccer Plus
One game into the MLS season, they're already breaking for extra curricular activities — the CONCACAF Champions League quarterfinals. This is the first of back-to-back against the Xoloitzcuintles (the rematch is in Mexico on March 18).

ANN ARBOR, Mich. – Physician's confidence in their ability to counsel patients on a healthy diet and exercise may be related to their own personal habits.
Factors that predicted confidence in counseling included the doctor's own exercise time, being overweight, and if the doctor had adequate training in counseling patients, according to a study by the University of Michigan Health System.
The study, published online ahead of print Oct. 1 in Preventive Cardiology, and shows doctors' own health habits matter when it comes to patient counseling.
A majority of attending physicians, those who have completed their doctor training, talked to patients about a healthy diet compared to only 36 percent of trainees, young doctors still in internship or residency programs.
But in the survey, attending physicians reported taking better care of themselves than trainees whose diets were heavier in fast food.
Both attending and trainee physicians reported low levels of confidence in their ability to effectively counsel patients regarding healthy lifestyle habits. However, greater degrees of self-confidence for counseling were seen with increased levels of personal exercise.
"Living a healthy lifestyle themselves translates into a more believable message to their patients," says lead author Michael Howe, M.D., chief medical resident at U-M Health System. "Physicians are busy, especially during their training; but eating healthy foods and exercising regularly may result in better personal health as well as improved patient care."
Attending physicians were more likely to exercise four or more days a week and more than 150 minutes a week than trainees. In the survey, 69 percent talked to patients about exercise compared to only 38 percent of trainees who gave exercise counseling.
Few trainees or attending physicians were confident in their ability to change patients' behavior even though it's well-known that weight loss can prevent or alleviate obesity-related diseases such as hypertension and diabetes.
Factors that predicted confidence in counseling included the doctor's own exercise time, being overweight, and if the doctor had adequate training in counseling, the study showed.
Adequate training was the strongest predictor for confidence in talking about healthy eating habits, the survey showed.
With the prevalence of obesity among adults in the U.S. increasing, "many physicians lack confidence in their ability to counsel patients regarding lifestyle," says senior author Elizabeth Jackson, M.D., an assistant professor of internal medicine at the U-M Health System. "An emphasis on healthy diet and exercise counseling is an important part of medical education for physicians of all levels."
Additional U-M authors: Michael Howe, M.D., Adam Leidel, Sangeetha Mahadevan, M.S., Alissa Webber, M.D. and Melvyn Rubenfire, M.D.

The FBI and police in Atlanta and LA were searching Monday for a former NBA player and first-round draft pick suspected of a fatal drive-by shooting of a woman in Atlanta.
Javaris Crittenton, who most recently played for the Charlotte Bobcats, is wanted in the Aug. 19 shooting of Julian Jones, 23. She was shot as she walked with friends arounf 10 p.m. Police believe Crittenton fired shots from a black Chevrolet Tahoe. There were several witnesses to the incident, police said.
The FBI is involved in the search, and authorities believe Crittenton may have fled to Los Angeles. Crittenton was the LA Lakers' first-round pick in 2007.
Crittenton was once suspended from the NBA in 2009 when he brought a gun into the Washington Wizards' locker room, according to NBC Sports. He is currently on the roster of the Dakota Wizards in the NBA Development League.
Investigators say Crittenton meant to kill one of two men that Jones was walking with but hit her by accident, WSB-TV reports. ESPN reports Jones was mother of four.
