NJ Teen Bypasses Guard, Reaches WTC Spire
A 16-year-old Weehawken boy described as a thrill-seeker bypassed an inattentive security guard in the middle of the night and climbed a ladder to the spire of 1 World Trade Center, where he apparently took pictures, authorities said Thursday.
Justin Casquejo was arrested at 6 a.m. Sunday at the nation's tallest building and was charged with misdemeanor criminal trespass, police said. Nobody answered the door Thursday at his Weehawken home.
According to a criminal complaint, Casquejo was quoted as telling police: "I walked around the construction site and figured out how to access the Freedom Tower rooftop. I found a way up through the scaffolding, climbed onto the 6th floor, and took the elevator up to the 88th floor. I then took the staircase up to 104th (floor). I went to the rooftop and climbed the ladder all the way to the antenna."
He was arrested on the premises, and his camera and cellphone were seized after authorities obtained a search warrant, said Joe Pentangelo, a spokesman for the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey police department. The Port Authority owns the trade center site.
According to court papers, Casquejo was released without bail after being arraigned early Monday on one count of third-degree criminal trespass and one count of trespass. His lawyer didn't immediately return a phone call Thursday seeking comment. Casquejo's next court date was scheduled for April 2.
Casquejo got onto the construction site of the nearly completed tower through a 1-foot opening in a fence and eluded an inattentive security guard on the 104th floor, Pentangelo said. The guard, who worked for a contractor, not the Port Authority, has been fired, the spokesman said.
The criminal trespass charge is a misdemeanor punished by up to three months in jail. The simple trespass is a violation punishable by up to 15 days in jail.
The complaint said Casquejo was observed inside the tower beyond numerous posted signs that stated: "Do not enter. No trespassing. Violators will be prosecuted."
"The defendant knowingly entered and remained unlawfully in a building and upon real property which was fenced and otherwise enclosed in a manner designed to exclude intruders," the court papers said.
Authorities were still trying to determine the teen's motive. WABC-TV reported that he took pictures from the top of the building, where he stayed for about two hours.
Patrick Flores, 18, who grew up with Casquejo and lives in the same apartment building as him, described his friend as "a really good kid" who has always been highly interested in adventure.
"He was always the one climbing the cliffs, doing something stupid," Flores said, referring to the cliffs on which Weehawken sits, across the Hudson River from Manhattan, with clear views of the World Trade Center and the rest of the Manhattan skyline. "But that was him, that was his life."
"I've seen him fall and hit his head and get up and walk away like it was nothing," he added.
Flores said Casquejo had recently become interested in the French extreme sport Parkour, which combines elements from martial arts, gymnastics and rock climbing and has become popular thanks to YouTube videos of acrobatic athletes vaulting over obstacles like park benches, trees, guardrails and buildings.
The investigation into the security breach was continuing.
"We take security and these types of infractions very seriously and will prosecute violators," Joe Dunne, chief security officer for the Port Authority, said in a statement. "We continue to reassess our security posture at the site and are constantly working to make this site as secure as possible."
The tower is scheduled to open later this year.
Plans ultimately call for heavy security around the rebuilt trade center, including a network of barriers, security checkpoints and areas for screening vehicles before they can enter the 16-acre site, with through traffic barred. Some nearby residents have challenged the plans as overbearing, saying in a lawsuit last fall they would turn their neighborhood into a fortress-like environment "as impervious to traffic as the Berlin Wall."
City lawyers defended the security plans as necessary for what they called one of the most sensitive sites in the country, and the city said the measures were as unobtrusive as possible. A judge dismissed the case last month

We love this Fashion theme for little girls, as a nice change from Princess or Mermaid. Our concentration is on Purses but you could also combine shoes, purses and jewelry items for decorating and party favors. One of the cutest parts of this party is the Purse Pinata game we played. It was a simple idea but one that was a real hit with the kids.
For ease of cutting into purse, or shoe, shapes, the personal little cakes can be made from pound cake slices. Although we used a piece of cake for the purse handle, you could just as easily use a piece of string licorice or other candy for the handle.

The judges, in their giddiness, sent roughly 100 acts to Las Vegas. But! Only 60 of those acts are going to be allowed to move on to the live shows at Radio Music Hall. GRAB A CALCULATOR, math is involved. 100 – 60 = Some 40 acts have to be cut, immediately.
To make the determination as to which acts will see the Rockettes' stage, the judges have made three different piles:
- Straight to Radio City Music Hall
- Straight back home
- Audition for your life
Except they don't call it "audition for your life," because I'm sure So You Think You Can Dance has probably trademarked some variation of that by now.
First, they inform acts 1 & 2 their fates, except The Producers don't seem to think we need to know who these acts are are because NO NAMES ARE GIVEN. Why? WHY? Why do you make it so hard, Producers, to get to know these acts by name? How hard is it to label these acts? Is it expensive? Did you have to cut post-production costs to be able to afford a fourth judge? Why won't you tell us who they are?
So, from what I can gather, the acts that are moving on to Radio City Music Hall:
That Catapult Shadow Dance act
Those little girls with the sequins dance act
The guy who makes the Rube Goldberg machines
Those guys who sing "B-double O-T-Y"
That 10-year-old girl, Anna Christine, I think? I'm not sure? BECAUSE THEY WON'T TELL ME.
The Japanese guy who did the animation dance
The escape artist
The Thai dancers
Tummy Talk
Chicago Boyz, I think is their name? The inner city gymnasts? TELL ME THESE PEOPLE'S NAMES
All of the choirs: the military wives choir, the gospel choir, and that more classical choir. All of the choirs.
Both impersonators.
Some acts that are sent home:
Those ballroom dancer kids, who aren't the children of The Miami All Stars, you know the ones? Yasha & Daniela, I think are their names?
That teenage girl with the pink guitar
The guy who sang the song about college being worthless, Sully, I think?
The African-American cowboy
And then my cable spazzed out, and I missed who else moved on to Radio City and who were sent home, not that it matters much since THEY DIDN'T BOTHER TELLING US WHO THEY ARE. UGH.
So onto that third category, the acts that must AUDITION FOR THEIR LIVES!
David Ferman, 19, Juggler
David spent his bar mitzvah money on a large metal ring, a unicycle and about 30 stun guns. David will juggle three stun guns while riding the unicycle inside the metal ring which is studded with stun guns. So many stun guns! He explains to the judges that he has not actually performed this act before, which I suppose adds a sense of danger, but then it goes off without a hitch. Which, good for David! However, as Howard Stern notes, David doesn't have much in the way of showmanship.
Brad Byers, 53, Technician
Brad puts a blowtorch out on his tongue and then loops a giant hook through his nasal cavity, which he hooks a wagon onto, which he then drags around while his assistant and Nick ride atop of it. Gross. And it's not that I don't like gross acts! I do! But they tend to have more of a cool, sideshow quality to them, and this is more like your gross uncle who is trying to gross you out at Thanksgiving and you're just like, "Gross."
Alexandr Magala, 23, Performer
Alexandr here was the fellow who swallowed 9 swords at once and brought out an x-ray machine so we could all see inside of him. This time around, he only swallows one sword, which BIG DEAL, ALEXANDR. But then! He jumps up onto a pole which he swings around for a while before plummeting head-first towards the floor, stopping himself inches before something terrible might happen.
Sam Johnson, 34, Lawn Mower Repairman
Sam's the guy who did a handstand on a super tall pole, which I was pretty sure was the only thing he was going to do: more handstands, taller poles, perhaps. To prove everyone wrong, Sam comes out to the stage, sets his top hat on fire, douses himself in (supposedly) gasoline, gets on a unicycle on a tightrope and then juggles flaming batons. It lacks a certain eloquence, but the danger factor is undeniable.
"Red Panda," 44, Entertainer
Red Panda does her super-tall unicycle, balancing bowls act again, but this time drops one of the bowls. Uh-oh.
Forte, 23-33, Singers
Apparently, in the time between their audition and Las Vegas week, one of the members of this opera-singing trio decided he didn't want to do it anymore? because he had stage fright? because it was a dare that went too far? because he had a torrid affair with Howard Stern and couldn't bear to see him again? who knows, but the point is he dropped out. The remaining guys found a new member online in the opera singer section on etsy.com, and he might be even better than the original.
Brandon & Savannah, 15, 13, Students
The brother-sister duo choose to perform a cover of the Of Monsters & Men song, "Little Talks" instead of one of their original songs. It's fine.
American Hitmen, 28-34, Former Marines
The rock band performs "House of the Rising Sun." Personally, I prefer it to their original audition, but I think that's just because I like the song better. I'm not a very reliable opinion on bar bands is what I'm saying.
2Unique 10, Students
These two sing/rap "Party in the USA." I'm still rooting for these two spark plugs, even though the judges seem underwhelmed.
Lil Demon, 11, Student
Lil Demon is a very good lil breakdancer, but what I really loved about him was his enthusiasm backstage, where he congratulated all of his competitors, and was the first to console those who had harder time on stage. Lil Demon is a Lil Angel! (That was terrible, and I am sorry, but he did seem like a really sweet kid.)
Melody Caballero, 10, Student
Melody is a balance artist/contortionist, and I am disappointed NBC didn't include her audition video, because she's very impressive. She has a slight slip at one point, but then finishes her act bent over herself, balancing and spinning on a pole that she is gripping in her mouth. COME ON.
D'Angelo & Amanda, Students, 12 & 13
D'Angelo is the son of the leaders of the Miami All Stars dancers, and the brother of fellow contestant Ruby. He and his partner, Amanda, perform a flawless cha cha? I think? I honestly don't know my ballroom dances as well as I should, but whatever they are doing here, it is great. Really great.
Ruby & Jonas, 9 & 10, Students
Rudy, sister of D'Angelo, performs a tango with her little partner, Jonas, and they are doing so well, until Jonas slips and they fall backwards a bit. But they get back up and keep going like little pros, although while they are talking to the judges, Ruby bursts into tears. Don't cry, Ruby! You did a great job! Maybe this is too much pressure for a 9-year-old!
Jimmy Failla, 36, Cab Driver
Jimmy makes a bunch of unfunny, misogynistic jokes about his wife. While there's a lot of talk about how the problem is that he rushed his delivery, let's all be honest here: he's just not funny.
Eric Schwartz, "Smooth E," 38, Comedian
Eric makes some hip-hop/Hebrew jokes that are pretty funny, and he seems to have the judges' attention, but I'll be surprised if he moves on, frankly.
Taylor Williamson, 26, Comedian
Taylor doesn't even have to say anything and the judges are dying laughing. He literally stands on stage and tries to get them to stop laughing so that he can start his act. Total shoo-in. Backstage, the other comedians can barely hide their irritation and jealousy.
John Wing, 53, Comedian
John has been in the business for a long time, and it shows — but not in the most positive way. It's not that he's not funny — he is — but John's routine feels like a watered down Lewis Black, and even he seems unconvinced by it. It's almost like he expects to be rejected and is just waiting for the judges to order him off the stage. That said, the judges seem to like him, and I won't be surprised if he moves on to the live shows.
Archbishop Molly Step Team, 14-18, Students
This is the first we've seen of this step team, and they're good! However, the judges seem to be underwhelmed as they performed the same routine as they did in their auditions. Not that we would know that
Hype, 20-25, Dance Group
This performance to "Bohemian Rhapsody" was very original and fun to watch — but the judges seem to disagree, specifically with Howard Stern complaining that they weren't as good as they were in their audition.
Art Spark, 15-26, Dance Group
Nope. I don't think so.
Seriously, if it comes down between these guys and Hype, I don't think there's even an argument.
Kid the Wiz, 17, Student
So here's the thing: Kid the Wiz is a charming kid and his original audition was great fun. However, at the time I had my reservations about the act because it seems rather limited. How many times will audiences watch him throw his hat around before they feel like they've seen it all? And that's why when he drops his hat a bunch of times here, I'm almost relieved. I think the kid's got talent, but it's not big stage talent, it's more like street performer talent.
Dylan Wilson, 17, Student
Dylan, in contrast, is mesmerizing to watch and deserves to go further.
Tavi & Antonio, 34 & 31, Teachers
The aerial duo doesn't execute their routine perfectly, and I doubt they will be moving forward.
"Accro" Brandon Rosario, 33, Chef
This pole act is new to me — I don't think he was featured in the auditions — and it is underwhelming. The pole is short, and he is just not that artistic. Eh.
Duo Resonance, 27, Performers
This contortionist/balance pair are really very good and lovely — there's a gracefulness to their act that the other acrobats seem to be lacking, perhaps because this is the only acrobatic act that features a woman. In any event, the pair seem disappointed in their performance, not that anyone else noticed.
Timber Brown, 28, Entertainer
If the judges can only choose one acrobatic act, this should be the one. At one point, Timber clings to the pole with one set of toes, extending himself out parallel to the ground, completely defying physics. Even the other acrobats are blown away. I can't wait to see him perform in the live shows.
KriStef Brothers, 24 26, Acrobats
The KriSteph brothers come out in costumes that seem inspired by 80s hair bands, and proceed to perform an act that is alternately silly and astounding. Some of the balancing they do is genuinely remarkable. However, Howard doesn't like the humorous spin they put on the routine, and wonders if they are taking it seriously enough. Personally, I think it's a good idea to add some humor to the act, as it distinguishes them from every other strength act.
Deanna DellaCioppa, 39, Dog Rescuer
As her backup music begins, Deanna declares that it is not loud enough, FIX IT, and storms off the stage.
Skilyr Hicks, 14, Student
Poor Skilyr seems overwhelmed and not quite ready for all of this. Her voice breaks a little during the performance, and she bursts into tears when the judges ask her how she did. Skilyr has a lot of depth and soul, not to mention a good voice, but maybe she needs a little time to grow and mature as a performer before she is thrown out onto a national stage.
Selena Mykenize Gordon, 15, Student
Selena, here, in contrast, is more than ready for the big stage, and is my favorite in this category.
Cami Bradley, 25, Music Director
Cami performs "Summertime," after declaring that she is going to show the judges something different. However, considering she sang "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" for her original audition, the only thing I see that is different is the addition of the piano. I am underwhelmed.
Deanna DellaCioppa, 39, Dog Rescuer
Deanna returns to the stage and belts out "I Won't Let Go" by Rascal Flatts. But the performance is all POWER POWER POWER POWER and as the judges describe, it is exhausting. No thank you, please.
More Las Vegas auditions tonight at 8 p.m., guys.
America's Got Talent airs Tuesdays at 8 p.m. on NBC
Therese is also watching, Real Housewives of New Jersey, The Bachelorette, Arrested Development, and the last couple episodes of Fringe. Wish her luck.

Buy 2 Heavyweight: Another Blood and Fire Sampler £4.25
I Roy - Late Hour Sample!
What the press say:
The Blood and Fire series has taken the standard of reggae compilations to a new level. Tasteful packaging and unblemished sound quality (re-mastering) exemplify the quality of dub music they showcase. However, for many, the music remains something of an unknown quantity, many of the artists featured in the series having either faded into obscurity or died. Careful not to isolate potential fans, this mid-price compilation is a re-introduction to original bu'n down Babylon music. Names such as King Tubby, Scientist and Prince Jammy give the sampler enough classic material to make a Motown collection jealous. With nine tracks from the last eight releases, and seven exclusives, this sampler is the perfect introduction. DAB, New Nation (UK), 17 March 1997

The latest iteration of 2K's basketball franchise NBA 2K11 will feature a new game mode called The Jordan Challenge. Players will be able to play as the cover boy in 10 of his most legendary games and will be challenged to repeat the same feats that his Airness accomplished on the court during those games.
"Fans of the series are going to be thrilled to know that in NBA 2K11 Michael Jordan is much, much more than just a cover athlete," said Jason Argent, vice president of marketing for 2K Sports. "We're excited to start talking about the ways that Michael will be used in the game and there's still a lot more to come."
While playing The Jordan Challenge, fans can try to stun the world in Jordan's self-described greatest game by torching the Cavaliers by 69 points in March of 1990; attempt to battle back from the flu to defeat the Jazz in Game 6 of the 1997 finals; or leave the world wanting more as they relive one of Jordan's finest performances during his last game as a Chicago Bull on June 14, 1998. In addition to The Jordan Challenge mode, gamers will have the unique opportunity to play as some of the greatest teams in NBA history, including the '85-'86, '89-'90, '90-'91, '94-'95, '95-'96, '96-'97, and '97-'98 Chicago Bulls.
Check out the video below to see digital Jordan in action.

Box Score (vs. Potsdam)
Box Score (vs. Oberlin)
FORT MYERS, Fla. – On its third day of competition at the Gene Cusic Classic, the MIT softball team split a pair of games on Wednesday morning, besting Potsdam State in the opener, 2-1, before falling to Oberlin, 6-4, later in the day. The win was the Engineers' second over the Bears on the trip and ended a stretch of three-straight losses. MIT is now 3-4 overall with four games remaining at the Classic.
Jessica Iacobucci started game one and delivered her second impressive performance of the past week. After throwing a three-hit shutout on opening day versus Simmons, Iacobuuci tossed another complete game, allowing just one run on three hits while striking out nine. The freshman retired the first 14 batters she faced and only allowed baserunners in two innings. Bensey Schnip was the offensive catalyst, going 2-2 with a run scored and an RBI.
The Cardinal and Grey got on the board in the first as Lily Keung drew a leadoff walk and scored on Schnip's sacrifice fly. Jenny Li then delivered the eventual game-winning RBI in the fourth, doubling to left to score Schnip.
Against Oberlin, the Engineers fell behind early, trailing 4-0 after three and were unable to overcome that deficit despite outscoring the Yeowomen 4-2 over the final four innings. Keri Dixon helped spark the MIT rally, going 2-3 with a run and an RBI on the day.
Starter Jessica Oleinik got into some trouble in the first thanks to a three walks and a couple of wild pitches. However, the damage could have been worse as one runner was thrown out at home and Oleinik stranded three more.
Tech began cutting into the lead in the fourth after Katie Harrington led off with a single and scored on Dixon's RBI. The Engineers would add to their total in the fifth as the Oberlin third baseman was unable to handle Harrington's grounder, allowing two more runs to cross the plate and bringing Tech back within one. However, the Yeowomen struck for two more in the bottom half of the inning to pull away for good.
Oleinik earned the loss, giving up six runs, only four of which were earned, on nine hits and five walks.
After playing six games in its first three days in Fort Myers, MIT will take Wednesday off before returning for another twinbill on Thursday against Colby and Potsdam.

Srisailam is a Jyothirlingam (Hindu shrine to Shiva) located in Kurnool district, Andhra Pradesh, India. It is about 245 km from Hyderabad and 132 km from Nandyal.
Get in
By bus and train
Srisailam is about 232 km from Hyderabad, the capital of Andhra Pradesh, and there are buses connecting the town with Hyderabad, Vijayawada, Guntur and Kurnool. For service from Hyderabad to Srisailam, tickets and reservations can be made at the Central Bus station Hyderabad. The approximate travel time from Hyderabad to Srisailam is 6 hours. From Kurnool it will take around 5 hours via Atmakur and Doranala. You can get Express buses every one hour from 5.00 am to 11.30 pm from Kurnool. For those who are planning from Chennai you can either go from Kurnool, Nellore or Tirupathi. From Kurnool there are many buses to Srisailam. You can reach Kurnool by Kachiguda express which starts from Chennai Egmore railway station.There is no railway station in srisailam. From Tirupathi also there are frequent buses which passes through Nellore.So better go to nellore and catch Srisailam bus from there.
By private vehicle/taxi
If hiring a private taxi, ensure that the driver has experience driving in ghat sections and doesn't have the habit of drinking alcohol. Mannanur, which is around 120 km from Hyderabad, is the place where the Nallamala hills start. After 60-70 km of drive through the forest you'll reach Eegalapenta. From there, it becomes difficult to drive as there are numerous hairpin bends and a kilometer of the stretch has lot of potholes. You can have a good look at the Srisailam Dam from there.
Get around
For nature lovers Srisailam trip leaves immense pleasure as you travel through deep forests. From Dornala to Srisailam you will find excellent view and the road is full of curves and U turns.
Don't miss
Ista Kameswari Temple: from Srisailam you need to travel 16 km into deep forest which is very adventurous. Don't try to go in your own vehicle because the way is sprinkled with huge rocks and water. Engage a jeep from Srisailam. If you have a team of 10 they will charge 1200 Rupees.Or else you can share with other in which case you will be charged 300 Rs. Bargain the amount with the drivers. After reaching the temple try to cross the temple and you will find very good place with water falls and valleys.
Akkamahadevi Caves:This is the most interesting part of the journey in Srisailam.To reach the caves you need to go to Patala Ganga.You can reach Patala Ganga by rope way and ride a boat from there to reach the caves. After travelling 16 kms (for more than an hour) on the Krishna river with high mountains on either sides and walking for some distance,you will reach the caves.There will be a guide with you in the boat who will lead into the caves.You need to take a candle with you as the caves are 80 feet deep and very dark.
Andhra Pradesh Tourism Development boats need to be reserved in advance in the early hours on the date of journey. The ticket cost is 180 rupees. Minimum of 18 members are to be there for the boats to be started. You can also engage a private boat.
Ista Kameshwari Temple is located in deep forest, and the path is very tumultuous terrain, only Jeeps will go. People who go by the adage "take the path less travelled" will enjoy the journey. The elderly need to take precautions before the visit. A quite adventurous journey. Cross the temple and you will find a valley and waterfalls, which are very beautiful.
You can buy pure Girijan (Tribal) honey, AGMARK certified honey which is supplied by government of Andhra Pradesh. It is regarded as very pure and tasty. You can get it in Chenchu Lakshmi Tribal Museum. Don't buy it elsewhere.
As a temple town, only vegetarian food is available. Delicious food varieties are available in the temple run annadana satram (free kitchen) and restaurants along with the street food. It is advised, for people to keep hydrated by eating food with high carbohydrates and drink lots of water while on the treks in the hills and camping in the forests.
There are lots of budget hotels and lodges around the Mallikarjuna Swami Temple in Srisailam. Most of these do not require any prior reservation except during peak seasons and festivals, and most Mondays. The Andhra Pradesh Tourism Department runs a few hotels by name Ganga Sadan, Gouri Sadan and Punnami Guest House. These are clean and well maintained, and are within the budget of most pilgrims. There are also some lodges and choultries that cater to particular communities.

BurdaStyle Sewing Vintage Modern Contest 2013 – 20s Style F...
Added Feb 14, 2013
by darkhorse
Vancouver, Canada
BurdaStyle Sewing Vintage Modern Contest 2013 –
20s Style Flapper Dress- 'Louisa Dress' Pattern Variation
I was inspired by BurdaStyle's Vintage Modern book to participate in the 2013 contest. I love 1920s vintage style and selected the 'Louisa' dress to create a one-of-a-kind variation (option 3) for a luxurious beaded flapper dress.
Several changes were made to the original pattern, including changing the original neckline shape to include a sheer V-neck, pattern grading, and merging pattern pieces. The base fabric is a crepe-backed satin in champagne blush, and accompanied with chiffon of the same shade to create the deep 'V' front. The ruffles in the original pattern were changed to a scalloped hemline. The dress is entirely hand sewn, featuring French seams and hand stitched curved rolled hems. The dress pattern has been hand graded up two sizes to size 50 from its maximum size 46 provided by BurdaStyle in the original pattern. I merged the original separate pieces for the body and bottom portion of the dress into a single pattern piece to accommodate the new bottom hemline.
I created a sketch to design my original beaded pattern after researching vintage 1920s beaded dresses. I hand stitched each bead onto the satin and chiffon fabrics to embellish the dress. Silver and gold Delica bugle beads outline the plunging neckline. The beading, using Delica and other glass beads, is Art Deco inspired, with graphic, sometimes sinuous lines. Further embellishment and softness is created with the beaded roses along the neckline and body of the dress. All of the beading has been backstitched for extra security.
The dress picks up several 2013 trends: 1920s glam and vintage style, spring nude colour tone, faux harnesses, metallic detailing and sheer cut-outs.
I am a self-taught sewist. I was very excited to learn about couture finishing and beading for the first time for this project and contest, helped along by the Vintage Modern book and BurdaStyle tutorials.

at my first try it was just a test ...'bout compiling lnx sources in a 'mixed' environment
not defined win32,
not defined whatever but cygwin...
even a compilation works and a working output-executable_file was created,
e.g. a (open)ftpd won't run correctly under cygwin.
so...here is my Question.
have you ever seen a fully working honeyd that was build up in _CYGWIN_ environment?
i'm wondering how to use the pcaplib... (i'm running pcap under w32 but defining WIN32 isn't the right way, isn't it ?)
hoping just one can sort the above **** 'cos i'm very urgh at moment...hrhr

Modern Mice for a Clean Desk
I recently realized that I was avoiding my desktop computer at any cost and using a laptop for everything: Web browsing, PhotoShop, the works. Instead of abandoning the desktop, I simply replaced the dated corded mouse with a wireless one. And you know what? I now look forward to using my desktop. The user experience is better and I can now take advantage of a faster, more robust machine without getting tripped up. Here are a few mice that don't suck, and look good to boot.
There are literally hundreds of mice out there to choose from. Microsoft alone lists 35 on their Web page. Add that to the dozens of peripheral makers and it can be an overwhelming task to choose the perfect mouse. Well, here are a few of the best from a aesthetic and functionality standpoint. Our number one recommendation? Unless you're a hardcore gamer, get a wireless mouse. It looks better, cluttering your space and gives you more freedom of movement.
Pictured Above from Left to Right:
- Apple's Magic Mouse ($69)
- The Swiftpoint Mouse ($69.95)
- Logitech MX Air Rechargeable Cordless Air Mouse ($149.99)
- Microsoft ARC Mouse ($49.95)
- Logitech Anywhere Mouse MX ($79.99)
- Razer Orochi ($79.99 and pictured below)
Ergonomic Mice:
- Microsoft Natural Wireless Laser Mouse 6000 ($79.95)
- Hand Shoe Mouse ($EUR 136.71)

In June of 2008, at the height of the recession, fuel prices spiked and a wrote a blog entry on called Car Allowances in the Age of Skyrocketing Fuel Costs. A lot has transpired in the economy, so it seems an opportune time to update that entry.
QUESTION #1 -- What types of costs associated with operating a motor vehicle are reasonably attributable to an outside sales person's use of a motor vehicle ?
When it comes to answering questions like this, my "go-to" source is the American Automobile Association's (AAA) annual report on driving costs ("Your Driving Costs"). This highly respected report has been published annually for 51 years and to my knowledge is the most thorough, comprehensive, and reliable information available on the subject of the cost of operating a vehicle in the United States. In it, they consider virtually every cost element including:
- Fuel – Fuel mileage is based on EPA fuel economy ratings weighted 60 percent city and 40 percent highway driving.
- Maintenance — Costs include retail parts and labor for normal, routine maintenance as specified by the vehicle manufacturer. They also include the price of a comprehensive extended warranty with one warranty claim deductible of $100 and other wear-and-tear items that can be expected to require service during five years of operating the vehicle. Sales tax is included where applicable on a national average basis.
- Tires — Costs are based on one set of replacement tires of the same quality, size and rating as those that came with the vehicle. Mounting, balancing, and sales tax are also included.
- Insurance — Based on a full-coverage policy for a married 47-year-old male with a good driving record, living in a small city and commuting three to 10 miles daily to work. The policy includes $100,000/$300,000 coverage limits with a $500 deductible for collision and a $100 deductible for comprehensive coverage.
- License, Registration and Taxes — Costs include all government taxes and fees payable at time of purchase, as well as fees due each year to keep the vehicle licensed and registered. Costs are computed on a national average basis.
- Depreciation — Based on the difference between new-vehicle purchase price and estimated trade-in value at the end of five years.
- Finance Charges — Based on a five-year loan at 6% APR with a 10% down payment. The loan amount includes taxes and the first year's license fees, both computed on a national average basis.
QUESTION #2 — What is a reasonable rate at which to reimburse the salesperson for the costs they incur in operating their personal motor vehicle for business use?
An obvious consideration when determining applicable reimbursement rates is vehicle type. Here too, AAA provides useful information, offering data on five different classes of vehicles:
- Small Sedan — Chevrolet Cobalt, Ford Focus, Honda Civic, Nissan Sentra and Toyota Corolla.
- Mid-Size Sedan — Chevrolet Impala, Ford Fusion, Honda Accord, Nissan Altima and Toyota Camry.
- Large Sedan — Buick Lucerne, Chrysler 300, Ford Taurus, Nissan Maxima and Toyota Avalon.
- Sports Utility (SUV) — Chevrolet Traverse, Ford Explorer, Jeep Grand Cherokee, Nissan Pathfinder and Toyota 4Runner.
- Mini-Van — Dodge Grand Caravan, Kia Sedona, Honda Odyssey and Toyota Sienna.
The table below estimates the total cost of operating all five types of vehicles in California. It includes AAA data adjusted to reflect California differentials versus the national average, and increased usage (i.e., 25,000 miles per year).
Fuel Cost Summary
Avg $/Gal
Overall Average
(1) Based on $3.17 per gallon which is the weekly average fuel cost in California for regular grade gasoline between January 1, 2006 and July 18, 2011 (as reported by the U.S. Energy Information Administration, a division of the U.S. Department of Energy.)
(2) The National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) reports California auto insurance rates are approximately 20% higher than the national average.
(3) Represents the amount over AAA's standardized depreciation schedule which is computed at 15,000 miles per year.
(4) Total cost per year divided by total miles per year
QUESTION #3 -- Is the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) mileage rate a worthy and acceptable measure of the costs associated with operating a personal motor vehicle for business use?
The IRS standard mileage rate used to calculate the deductible costs of operating an automobile for business is 51 cents per mile in 2011. (NOTE: In 2012 this is increasing to 55.5 cents.)This is the amount per mile that the IRS allows small businesses and self-employed persons to use to calculate their vehicle expenses for tax deduction purposes. The standard mileage rate can be used for all mileage accumulated for work-related trips, but "commuting" between home and work does not qualify for this type of deduction. This rate is considered applicable for cars, vans, pickups and panel trucks. IRS has detailed rules for determining when travel between home and business locations should be considered "commuting." The interpretation of the IRS standards beyond my expertise.
The table below lists the IRS standard mileage rates for the years relevant to this study:
IRS Standard Mileage Rate for Business Use of Personal Vehicles (cents/mile)
2008 (Jan – Jun)
2008 (Jul – Dec)
Overall Average (1)
1) Based on a blended average of 54.5 cents/mile in 2008.
The standard mileage rate for business is based on an annual study of the fixed and variable costs of operating an automobile. The standard mileage rate is determined annually for the IRS by Runzheimer International, an independent contractor, which also performs consulting and other services to many large corporations.
I was unable to locate specific data on how the IRS rate is calculated. What is clear, however, is that it is an average rate that approximates operating expense for all types of vehicles and in all geographic regions, but does not specifically relate to any one type or region. Therefore, it is equally likely to overstate as it is to understate actual operating expenses incurred. Typically, businesses that choose to use the standard mileage rate do so because it is easier to use than the actual costs method (which requires keeping complete and accurate records of all applicable expenses). In my experience, because of the amount of work required to compute the actual cost of vehicle operation, the vast majority of companies elect to use the IRS standard mileage rate to reimburse employees for business use of personal vehicles. I have not encountered any company in my consulting work that reimburses mileage at less than the IRS rate based on any systemic analysis.
As the data above demonstrates, the actual cost of vehicle operation varies dramatically based on vehicle type, usage and geography. It appears to me that the IRS rate understates actual operating cost for most mileage and vehicle-type scenarios. In fact, it is not until vehicle usage exceeds 20,000 miles that operating cost falls below 51 cents per mile for all but the smallest and least expensive vehicles.
However, at the 25,000 mile per year level, the IRS rate very nearly approximates actual usage costs for the types of vehicles typically used in sales situations—namely large and mid-size sedans. The actual cost for operating these vehicles at 25,000 per year is between $0.46 and $0.56 per mile making the IRS standard rate of $0.51 a reasonable, and I think realistic, alternative to the onerous task of computing actual operating cost.

The system is good and should improve health. However, beware, here in Florida, a company is selling it for about twice the listed retail price which is, approximately 675 plus installation 250. EQA (Environmental Quality Assurance) states that the system usually costs, not installed, 2,495 and from there they suggest a discount if you take it on the spot. Finally the invoice raises to 1,635 an excess of 700! The salesman came home stating that he was a technician and not a salesman and that he would check with the company ... etc. etc.
The guy who installed it (1 hour) referred to him as the "salesman"!
They got me but I intend to fight back!

Walking and running have about the same health benefits, researchers found – you just have to walk more to get them.
Spending the same amount of energy yielded similar reductions in the risks of high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, and coronary heart disease, according to Paul Williams, PhD, of Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in Berkeley, Calif., and Paul Thompson, MD, of Hartford Hospital in Hartford, Conn.
But analysis of two large cohorts suggested that runners usually expend about twice as much energy as walkers and therefore reap greater health benefits, Williams and Thompson reported online in Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis and Vascular Biology.
"The more the runners ran and the walkers walked, the better off they were in health benefits," Williams said in a statement. "If the amount of energy expended was the same between the two groups, then the health benefits were comparable."
"Walking may be a more sustainable activity for some people when compared to running," he added. "However, those who choose running end up exercising twice as much as those who choose walking ... probably because they can do twice as much in an hour."
Walking and running, the researchers noted, involve the same muscle groups and the same motions, but are performed at different "intensities" – where intensity is defined in terms of "metabolic equivalents," or METs.
Exercise has moderate intensity if it uses 3 to 6 times the oxygen needed to sit at rest, usually defined as 3.5 ml of oxygen per kg of body weight per minute. That amount is 1 MET.
On that scale, walking is moderate intensity exercise and running, which uses more than 6 METs, is vigorous, they noted.
What hasn't been clear is whether equivalent doses of moderate and vigorous physical activity have the same health benefits over time. To help fill that gap, Williams and Thompson turned to the National Runners' Health Study II and the National Walkers' Health Study.
In those cohorts, they looked for any associations of incident hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, diabetes, and coronary heart disease with reported exercise, with energy expenditure measured in MET-hours per day.
After excluding people with those conditions at the start, they were left with 15,945 walkers (21% of them men) and 33,060 runners (51.4% men). During 6.2 years of follow-up, there were 3,874 cases of incident hypertension, 6,637 cases of high cholesterol, 647 new cases of diabetes, and 530 cases of coronary heart disease.
Overall, they reported, male runners expended an average of 5.29 MET-hours per day while female runners expended 4.74. In contrast, male walkers expended 2.2 MET-hours per day and females expended 2.14.
The difference in average energy expenditure was reflected in lower health risks for runners, compared with walkers -- 38% lower for hypertension, 36% lower for hypercholesterolemia, and 71% lower for diabetes, they reported.
But equivalent energy expenditures cancelled out the differences. Specifically, per MET-hour per day, running and walking significantly decreased the risks for:
- Incident hypertension by 4.2% for running and 7.2% for walking (P<10−7)
- Hypercholesterolemia by 4.3% (P<10−14) and 7% (P<10−8)
- Diabetes by 12.1% (P<10−5) and 12.3%, (P<10−4)
- Coronary heart disease by 4.5%(P=0.05) and 9.3% (P=0.01)
The risk reductions were not significantly different for running than walking for diabetes (P=0.94) or coronary heart disease (P=0.26).
The researchers cautioned that the study cohort is a sample of convenience.
Although it's "unlikely" that the observed interaction would be different in a less-selected population, they wrote, "we cannot exclude" the possibility that people who exercise have lower innate risks for hypertension, high cholesterol, diabetes, or coronary heart disease.
Finally, information on diet and other possible confounding variables wasn't collected.
From the American Heart Association:
- Population Approaches to Improve Diet, Physical Activity and Smoking Habits
- ACSM/AHA Physical Activity and Public Health: Updated Recommendation for Adults
- ACSM/AHA Physical Activity and Public Health in Older Adults
The study had support from the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute. The journal said the authors reported no conflicts of interest.
