No. 91,381
1. The decision to deny a motion to withdraw a plea rests within the sound discretion of the district court, and such a decision will not be set aside on appeal absent a showing of abuse of discretion. Discretion is abused only when no reasonable person would take the view adopted by the district court. The defendant bears the burden of establishing such an abuse of discretion.
2. Under K.S.A. 2003 Supp. 22-3210(d), a plea of guilty or nolo contendere, for good cause shown and within the discretion of the court, may be withdrawn at any time before sentence is adjudged.
3. Where a district court becomes aware of a possible conflict of interest between an attorney and a defendant charged with a felony, the district court has a duty to inquire further.
4. A district court may personally address a defendant to consider a motion to withdraw plea when a conflict of interest between the defendant and counsel has been alleged.
Appeal from McPherson District Court; JOHN E. WECKEL, judge. Opinion filed October 8, 2004. Affirmed.
Libby K. Snider, assistant appellate defender, for appellant.
Ty Kaufman, county attorney, and Phill Kline, attorney general, for appellee.
Before HILL, P.J., GREEN and MALONE, JJ.
MALONE, J.: Jackie Brent Davis appeals the district court's denial of his motion to withdraw his guilty plea for aggravated robbery. Davis claims that he was denied his right to a meaningful hearing on his motion to withdraw plea because he was not represented by conflict-free counsel. We affirm.
On January 9, 2003, Davis was charged with one count of aggravated robbery under K.S.A. 21-3427, a severity level 3 person felony. He was accused of robbing the Roxbury State Bank in Roxbury, Kansas. Dexter Eggers of the Salina Public Defender's office was appointed to represent Davis. A preliminary hearing was held on February 5, 2003, and Davis was bound over for arraignment. At the February 17, 2003, arraignment, Davis entered a not guilty plea and the case was scheduled for jury trial.
On May 21, 2003, a plea agreement was filed where Davis agreed to plead guilty or nolo contendere in exchange for the State furnishing a written memorandum that the United States Attorney would not file bank robbery charges against Davis in federal court. Davis signed the plea agreement, which also provided that there was no agreement on sentencing.
On May 21, 2003, Davis entered a guilty plea in accordance with the plea agreement. During the plea hearing, the district court reviewed the terms of the plea agreement and both parties agreed to its conditions. The district court informed Davis of the charge, the maximum penalties which could be imposed, and his rights under the Kansas laws and federal constitution. The district court also inquired whether Davis was freely and voluntarily entering the plea. Specifically, the district court asked Davis if anyone threatened him to enter the plea, and Davis denied receiving any threats. The district court asked Davis if he was satisfied with his legal representation, and Davis responded affirmatively. The district court found that Davis understood the consequences of the plea, that the plea was voluntarily made, and that a factual basis was established, and the court accepted the plea. Davis subsequently filed a motion for departure sentence.
Before sentencing, Davis sent a letter to the judge dated June 30, 2003, which was filed with the court on July 10, 2003. In the letter, Davis said that Eggers had threatened Davis and his family to push for a plea, that Eggers refused to give Davis documents pertaining to his case, and that Eggers told Davis that he was too busy to try Davis' case. Davis wrote: "In closing, I feel I have been misrepresented and I am requesting a new attorney to be appointed to me on these grounds."
Davis' sentencing was held on July 21, 2003. Mark Dinkel of the Salina Public Defender's office appeared at the hearing to represent Davis at sentencing. Dinkel informed the district court that Davis wanted to withdraw his plea. Dinkel also informed the district court that he would have a conflict with a plea withdrawal because his office negotiated the plea.
At this point, the district court reviewed the journal entry of Davis' plea hearing including the various rights explained to Davis at the time of the plea. The district court then addressed Davis personally, and the following exchange took place:
"THE COURT: What is it in this case today that you're telling the Court forms the basis for your changing that plea?
"DEFENDANT: Well, Your Honor, in that, in this where I feel I've been misrepresented by Dexter, he's made numerous threats to me and my family pertaining to this case.
"THE COURT: You're speaking of your attorney at the time?
"DEFENDANT: The past attorney, yes, sir.
"THE COURT: Did you advise the Court of that on the date you were entering this plea? That would be back on May the 21st, 2003; did you tell the Court in open court on the record that
"DEFENDANT: No, sir.
"THE COURT: --this had happened? Why didn't you do that?
"DEFENDANT: I, I'm not real smart about all this, you know.
"THE COURT: Well, but you understood that day what the Court was asking you, didn't you?
"DEFENDANT: Not really.
"THE COURT: You didn't understand any of these things the Court asked you about that I've just gone through?
"DEFENDANT: Not everything, sir.
"THE COURT: What?
"DEFENDANT: Not everything, sir.
"THE COURT: What, what didn't you understand?
"DEFENDANT: I didn't understand some of them words he was using because I had to ask my attorney what I should say, which was Dexter, and he just told me what to say.
"THE COURT: Do you know what you did that day?
"DEFENDANT: No, sir.
"THE COURT: You don't know that you entered a plea.
"DEFENDANT: No, sir. I haven't gotten no paperwork pertaining to my case.
"THE COURT: But you were here, were you not?
"DEFENDANT: Yes, sir.
"THE COURT: Do you understand what you're doing here today?
"DEFENDANT: Yes, sir.
"THE COURT: Do you understand today you're asking to withdraw that plea?
"DEFENDANT: Yes, sir.
"THE COURT: You understand what that means?
"DEFENDANT: Yes, sir.
"THE COURT: But you're telling the Court you didn't understand what it meant on the 20th of May?
"DEFENDANT: No, sir.
"THE COURT: What is the difference?
"DEFENDANT: Well, that he was just, it just all went so fast I didn't know what was going on.
"THE COURT: What?
"DEFENDANT: It all went so fast I didn't know what was going on. I was asking Dexter Eggers what to say. Judge asked me questions, the questions about
"THE COURT: This is the same attorney you now state was threatening you?
"DEFENDANT: Yes, sir.
"THE COURT: Instead of asking him questions why didn't you tell the Court he was threatening you?
"DEFENDANT: I have no comment, Your Honor.
"THE COURT: Do you understand that part of the basis for your proceeding in this Court is that the United States Attorney filed a memo that he would not pursue federal bank robbery charges against you?
"DEFENDANT: Sir, that was already, already stated in the past. On January 30th, United States Attorney will not accept your case for federal prosecution. Your case, therefore, will proceed through McPherson County District Court." (Emphasis added.)
Following this exchange, the district court stated that "[Davis] was totally aware of those proceedings [the plea hearing] and understood what he was doing. The Court simply does not feel it appropriate to permit him today to withdraw his plea of guilty. The Court will deny that request and order that this matter proceed."
Dinkel said he could represent Davis for the remainder of the hearing, and the district court proceeded with sentencing. Davis received a standard sentence under the sentencing guidelines of 66 months, with a postrelease supervision term of 36 months. Davis' motion for downward departure was denied. Davis timely appeals.
Davis claims that the district court erred in denying his motion to withdraw his plea. Specifically, Davis argues that he did not have the opportunity to establish the truth of his claims because the district court failed to appoint conflict-free counsel during the hearing on his motion to withdraw plea.
"The decision to deny a motion to withdraw a plea rests within the sound discretion of the trial court and such decision will not be set aside on appeal absent a showing of abuse of discretion. [Citations omitted.]" State v. Williams, 275 Kan. 284, 287, 64 P.3d 353 (2003). "Discretion is abused only when no reasonable person would take the view adopted by the district court. The defendant bears the burden of establishing such an abuse of discretion. [Citation omitted.]" State v. Sanchez-Cazares, 276 Kan. 451, 454, 78 P.3d 55 (2003).
According to Kansas law, "[a] plea of guilty or nolo contendere, for good cause shown and within the discretion of the court, may be withdrawn at any time before sentence is adjudged." K.S.A. 2003 Supp. 22-3210(d).
Davis argues that under State v. Taylor, 266 Kan. 967, Syl. ¶ 2, 975 P.2d 1196 (1999), the lack of a meaningful hearing on a motion to withdraw a guilty plea constitutes an abuse of discretion. In Taylor, the defendant informed his attorney that he was dissatisfied with his plea, but the attorney did not file a motion to withdraw the plea until the day of sentencing. The defendant also requested a continuance in order to secure the services of a new attorney and informed the court of several complaints about his appointed attorney. The district court denied the motion to withdraw plea, stating, "'Thank you. That will be overruled. Mr. Taylor can represent himself if he wants to today, but this case has been scheduled for sentencing since September 29th atthat was the date on which Mr. Taylor entered this plea.'" 266 Kan. at 971. The district court then proceeded to sentence the defendant to consecutive prison terms even though the plea negotiations called for concurrent terms.
On appeal, the Kansas Supreme Court vacated Taylor's sentence and remanded the case for a hearing on Taylor's motion to withdraw his plea. 266 Kan. at 979-80. The court held that where a district court becomes aware of a possible conflict of interest between an attorney and a defendant charged with a felony, the district court has a duty to inquire further. 266 Kan. 967, Syl. ¶ 3. The court noted:
"The problem here is that the district court never allowed Taylor an opportunity to explain his perception of the alleged conflict before denying the request for new counsel.
. . . .
"The district judge failed to make any inquiry as to the problems between Taylor and [his counsel]. Were they imagined or real? The record contains no inquiry from the bench regarding the adequacy of Taylor's representation." 266 Kan. at 975.
A distinguishing fact of Taylor is that the district court did not give the defendant the opportunity to explain the alleged conflict with his attorney prior to denying the motion to withdraw plea. Here, the district court addressed Davis personally and asked several questions about Davis' alleged conflict with his counsel and why he wanted to withdraw his plea. Another distinguishing fact of Taylor is that the district court proceeded with sentencing with the defendant representing himself. Here, after the district court denied Davis' motion to withdraw his plea, Dinkel resumed representing Davis for the remainder of the sentencing hearing.
Davis cites no authority supporting his contention that the district court could not address Davis personally regarding his request for new counsel. In fact, this procedure has been endorsed by the Kansas Supreme Court in State v. Richardson, 256 Kan. 69, 81-82, 883 P.2d 1107 (1994). In Richardson, the defendant raised a conflict with her appointed counsel at sentencing. The district court asked the defendant to explain why she was unsatisfied with counsel and found the dissatisfaction was without merit. Once the request to substitute counsel was denied, the district court gave additional time for the attorney and client to confer before proceeding. On appeal, the Supreme Court found that there was no abuse of discretion in failing to appoint substitute counsel. 256 Kan. at 82. See also State v. Jenkins, 257 Kan. 1074, 1084, 898 P.2d 1121 (1995) ("[W]here the trial court is advised of the possibility of a conflict by either the defendant or the State, the court is required to initiate an inquiry to ensure that the defendant's Sixth Amendment right to counsel is not violated.").
Unlike in Taylor, the district court in this case made an inquiry into the alleged conflict between Davis and his counsel. Davis told the district court that his attorney made numerous threats to Davis and his family. When asked why he did not tell the court about the threats at the time of the plea, Davis responded, "I have no comment, Your Honor." If Davis had provided a satisfactory response to the district court's inquiry, perhaps it would have become appropriate for the district court to suspend the hearing, appoint substitute counsel for Davis, and schedule a separate hearing on Davis' motion to withdraw his plea. Under the given circumstances, however, Davis' constitutional right to counsel was not violated by the manner in which the district court proceeded.
The district court's inquiry into Davis' conflict with his counsel and his reasons to withdraw his plea was adequate. The district court asked Davis several questions about whether he understood the nature and consequences of his plea. Even though the district court did not directly ask Davis about the nature of the threats from his counsel, the district court did ask Davis twice why he did not inform the court during the plea hearing of the alleged threats. Davis chose not to provide any specific information or explanation to the court.
We conclude that the district court conducted a meaningful inquiry concerning Davis' alleged conflicts with his counsel and his reasons to withdraw his plea. It was proper for the district court to personally address Davis to consider his motion to withdraw his plea once a conflict of interest with counsel was alleged, and Davis' constitutional right to counsel was not violated. Based upon Davis' responses to the district court's inquiry, the district court did not abuse its discretion in denying Davis' motion to withdraw his plea.

Seattle + 10
At this stage of history, one of two things is possible: Either the general population will take control of its own destiny and will concern itself with community interests guided by values of solidarity and sympathy and concern for others, or alternatively there will be no destiny to control.—Noam Chomsky, Manufacturing Consent
November 30, 2009 will mark the tenth anniversary of the historic Seattle protest against the World Trade Organization that stalled the use of multilateral trade agreements to consolidate global corporate power. This anniversary presents an extraordinary opportunity for We the People of the United States to assert our democratic right to reclaim the political power that corporations have usurped.
We face economic, social, and environmental crises that pose potentially terminal threats to the United States and to the human future. We now have perhaps the most able and visionary president in U.S. history and Democratic majorities in the House and Senate with a strong electoral mandate for serious visionary leadership to address these crises. Yet on issues from climate change, peace, trade, and economic justice to health care and financial restructuring, government action is limited to cosmetic reforms that fall hopelessly short of what we need.
As Arianna Huffington observed, lobbyists working for the interests of Wall Street CEOs, financiers and money managers who care only for personal financial gain have stripped away the most substantive provisions of every serious legislative reform initiative that has come out of the Obama administration often even before the beginning of committee hearings. Very little gets through the legislative process without their approval. The time has come for We the People to evoke the spirit of Seattle '99 and assert our democratic sovereignty or accept responsibility for the consequences of our failure.
In the late 1990s, We the People awoke to the threat to popular democratic sovereignty and the common good posed by the World Trade Organization (WTO). Transnational corporations were using multilateral trade agreements to consolidate their global power by rewriting the rules of commerce in secret negotiations that circumvented established democratic processes. The WTO had become their favored vehicle.
In 1999, the WTO announced it would hold a meeting of trade
ministers in Seattle. Labor unions, churches, environmental
organizations, artists, socially responsible business leaders and
others gathered in Seattle at the time of the meeting to declare their
independence from the WTO. Through disciplined nonviolent direct
action, they disrupted the secret negotiations in the face of a violent
police riot. The citizen victory in Seattle emboldened others the world
over to stand up to corporate power and global civil society was born
as a potent political force.
Now, the WTO has announced it will hold its Seventh Ministerial Conference in Geneva beginning on November 30, 2009, ten years to the day from the citizen lock down in Seattle that stalled the WTO juggernaut. Shortly after the WTO Geneva meeting, world leaders will be meeting in Copenhagen from December 7-18, 2009 to negotiate measures to mitigate the consequences of climate change. We can assume corporate interests will be well represented in both meetings by those who care more for securing corporate profits than for resolving the crises that threaten the human future.
It is a moment to reclaim the Spirit of Seattle '99 by creating a countervailing people's voice for the common good so strong that it cannot be ignored. Citizen groups across the United States and around the world are mobilizing for a host of actions in late November and early December to raise public awareness and hold political decision makers accountable to the common good. These groups will be addressing a variety of issues relating to human rights, environmental sustainability, and peace.
A common thread will bind them together. In most every instance Wall Street financial institutions and their global counterparts present the primary barrier to making the rule changes essential to corrective action.

Dispatches from the 1999 event:
YES! Magazine archive
In response to pressure from corporate interests, responsibility for strengthening financial regulation is being handed to the Federal Reserve, which is for all practical purposes run by the Wall Street banks it presumes to regulate. The Fed operates in secret beyond public accountability and served as a cheerleader for the excesses that brought down the global financial system. The single payer option on health care has been taken off the table. The cap and trade feature of the clean energy bill gives away eighty-five percent of carbon credits to polluters under terms that already have financial speculators salivating in anticipation of the potential for creating a new financial bubble and new derivatives scams.
So long as We the People submit to Wall Street rule, meaningful reduction of green house gases, a peace economy, economic and environmental justice, affordable health care for all, restoration of the middle class, restrictions on financial speculation, a prohibition on usury and debt slavery, food security, full-employment in family wage Green jobs, restructuring social security for long-term viability, and much else will remain ever out of reach. Economic instability, extreme inequality, financial fraud, social disintegration, and environmental collapse will define our national and global way of life.
Seattle+10 is an opportune moment for people everywhere to speak with a unified voice to declare their independence from Wall Street rule and their shared commitment to move forward a 21st century agenda of justice, peace, and environmental sustainability for all.

I'm one of those "extreme vacation" travelers. While some people enjoy trips filled with relaxation and leisure, I'm drawn to danger, adventure and risk.
So tomorrow, I'm going on a cruise. And I'm flying out of Worcester Regional Airport.
I know, right? While cruise ships were once considered the ultimate in luxury, now your basic sea voyage is scarier than driving around an upscale gated community with Justin Bieber.
I have a colleague who shall remain nameless — OK, it's Tom Caywood — and he prides himself on taking crazy vacations to dangerous places, where he's frequently at risk of getting shot, eaten by wolves, or thrown from the (bad word) balcony by New York congressman Michael Grimm. This is Tom's idea of a good time, probably because he's an investigative reporter and fields frequent calls from disgruntled subjects threatening to hurt him, or worse — cancel their subscription. So for Tom, it's an adrenaline thing.
For example, last year he traveled to Honduras, which happens to be the murder capital of the entire world, a factoid he neglected to tell his girlfriend until they were safely on the plane headed home. They are still together, mainly because he apologizes a lot and his girlfriend is a saint.
Anyway, Tom tends to make fun of me simply because my idea of a great vacation doesn't involve attempts to parachute under the cover of darkness into North Korea. I lean toward the sort of trips where you fly to a Caribbean resort and soak in the local culture by ordering drinks from the Dominican waiter, plus shop for souvenirs. The only danger on one of those trips is a skyrocketing cholesterol count, plus the constant risk of alcohol poisoning.
But now that I'm about to board a cruise ship, I, too, consider myself a danger junkie.
"Are Cruise Ships Floating Petri Dishes?" asked the headline yesterday on CNN.com. In case you didn't know the answer — yes, you dolt — the story goes on to note that outbreaks of vomiting and diarrhea have "imminent cruisers worried," and that more than 650 passengers have been barfing their midnight buffet all over the decks of the Royal Caribbean's Explorer of the Seas.
"The outbreak is the second so far this year aboard a cruise ship," the story notes, adding that it's being investigated by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, an organization you never want to see anywhere near your lobster thermidor.
Luckily, though, the CDC has issued guidelines to avoid the norovirus. Tips include: Wash your hands frequently, as though you suffer a bad case of OCD; leave the area immediately if someone gets sick, even if you're married to them; and get plenty of rest. The CDC also notes that, "You could get sick if you ingest germs that travel through the air," so I figure I'll have a wonderful time as long as I don't walk around or breathe.
But I'm getting ahead of myself. I leave tomorrow from Worcester Regional Airport aboard JetBlue (motto: "Hey, WE weren't the ones who built an airport on a hill"), and sometimes the airline has been forced to cancel flights because of unforeseen circumstances such as weather and the presence of clouds in the sky. But I certainly don't mean to pick on JetBlue because it's not to blame, we're grateful for its presence, and its pilot could at any time open a chute and send a passenger of his choosing hurtling over the Tatnuck Square landscape.
So I can't wait to fly out of Worcester. And I can't wait to experience the ultimate cruise ship adventure of cowering 24/7 in my stateroom with a case of Pepto Bismol. Bon voyage, and please pass the barf bag.

Green building materials have become an important part of the home design process, as homeowners look for methods to become more sustainable and save money in the long term. Flooring plays an enormous role in the energy-efficiency, aesthetics and eco-friendliness of a home, and oftentimes it will be one of the longest-lasting additions a home remodeler will make. With the rise of Earth-friendly home heating methods like radiant floor heating, it's vital to understand the ins and outs of these green floor coverings and how they will factor into your interior design and the overall layout.
1. Hardwood floors. On the surface, hardwood floors may not seem like the most green floor coverings since they come at the expense of trees, but many of these products are now harvested from renewable forests. This ensures that the natural habitat that is used to grow these products is sustained for future generations. Additionally, many homeowners have begun to explore reclaimed hardwoods that are made from old building materials that are resanded and refinished. Typically, the best options to be used with radiant heating are engineered floors, as well as floating floors that are not nailed or glued to the subfloor, according to HoskingHardwood.com.
2. Bamboo. This flooring type has many of the same characteristics of hardwoods, but in many ways is far more durable. These products are also considered eco-friendly, as they are harvested from renewable bamboo forests, many of which can grow back in mere months. According to BuildDirect.com, these floor coverings are incredibly strong and in many ways are the ideal choice to pair with radiant floor heating. Since many of these products are engineered and are treated with a variety of materials to improve their lifespans, they are more than adequate to stand up to the varying temperature changes that come with infloor heating.
3. Natural linoleum. While most homeowners may view linoleum as the cheaply-made products of the past, they are actually one of the most eco-friendly floor coverings on the market. Linoleum is actually made from a variety of natural ingredients, including dust, wood flour, tree resins, linseed oil, ground limestone and pressed into a jute backing, reports RemodelingRecon.com. Many of these floor coverings are also made from recycled content, so homeowners will be doing their part to remove this material from the waste stream. Since linoleum won't warp or cup like other flooring varieties, it is a wonderful choice to pair with radiant heating and can function beautifully in a kitchen, bathroom or hallway.
4. Cork flooring. Cork has gained traction in many design circles as a low-impact, moisture-resistant surface that's perfect for bathrooms, kitchens and basements. Cork flooring is made from the bark of the cork oak tree, which can be harvested regularly without having to cut down the tree entirely. These flooring types usually carry a whole host of recycled material, which helps to keep costs down and improve the eco-friendly nature of the floor covering. As long as the floors are properly sealed and not directly connected to the underlying subfloor, they can handle the subtle temperature changes that cause the material to contract and expand.
Flooring is one of the most important investments a homeowner can make during a remodeling project, and it will remain a fixture in the house for years to come. With the wide range of eco-flooring types now available, remodelers have more options than ever to make the environmentally-responsible choice while still incorporating many cutting-edge home heating technologies.

A: MIDI currently only works on Linux (and maybe some *BSD systems) where Hatari can write the MIDI output to a device file in the /dev file system. On all other systems, MIDI is not supported.
FYI: Jari Klemola just provided MIDI support for OSX & Windows versions of Hatari:

Once somebody else verifies that it works also on Windows (not just on OSX & Linux), the support goes in.

Damn, damn...
Bought a PCI graphic card for my pc (featured in Post your setup thread) and Half Life 2 Holiday Edition. Then tried to install the graphic card - nothing. The PC refused to boot when it was installed. I tried to Disable the motherboard build in video card and booted. Nothing good happened. The screen was blank and I had no way to enable that setting (since the only working video output was disabled). Then did some searching and found a way to restore the BIOS settings by removing the battery. Where is that? Like there was not enough trouble already I had to remove the DVD drive and HD to get my hands on the battery and remove it. Then put it back on, booted without that PCI card.
I took one photo from the BIOS that came after I tried to boot the machine with the PCI graphic card http://picasaweb.google.com/ante.mulari ... erProblems
Now I remember why I hate computers. But anyway - can you tech gurus help me? The PC is Asus Pundit-R.

With big shoes to fill, Robertson trying to be himself
TAMPA, Fla. -- The worst-kept secret in any big league camp finally became a reality for David Robertson this month when a member of the Yankees' coaching staff officially referred to him for the first time as Mariano Rivera's successor.
There was no great coronation for the man who is succeeding baseball's all-time saves leader, though it also is not as though there was any great suspense in the air. The remark came in an off-hand comment from pitching coach Larry Rothschild, solidifying what had been widely assumed all spring.
TAMPA, Fla. -- The worst-kept secret in any big league camp finally became a reality for David Robertson this month when a member of the Yankees' coaching staff officially referred to him for the first time as Mariano Rivera's successor.
There was no great coronation for the man who is succeeding baseball's all-time saves leader, though it also is not as though there was any great suspense in the air. The remark came in an off-hand comment from pitching coach Larry Rothschild, solidifying what had been widely assumed all spring.
"Larry said it to me in the bullpen about two weeks ago: 'It's you this year,'" Robertson said. "It's nice to hear it, but until we start Opening Day, then I'll know for sure. I think they know that I know. We all know. It doesn't need to be talked about. No need for added pressure; just try to get the job done."
It is the opportunity that Robertson has been hoping for since at least the moment he packed his bags following last season's game No. 162 in Houston. He said that he avoided reading the offseason rumors about the closer's role, not wanting to pollute his preparation for the upcoming season.
Managing general partner Hal Steinbrenner anointed Robertson the closer in January, a headline that -- at least for Robertson -- fell under the category of "wait and see." The Yankees ultimately passed on the crop of free agents who might have come in to compete, and manager Joe Girardi says now that he is "very comfortable" with handing Robertson the job.
"We said all along, with the people that we had, it was basically his job," Girardi said. "But sometimes through free agency people are added and then it changes the dynamic. You never commit to someone completely until the offseason is over, but he's our closer."
As Robertson puts it: "When I showed up and there was no one else here, I thought, 'I guess now it's my turn.'"
After a 162-game schedule that doubled as Rivera's farewell tour, the cherry came during last weekend's visit to Panama. Before the first game against the Marlins, Robertson caught a ceremonial first pitch from Rivera, which Rivera called a "passing of the torch."
"My wish and my prayers are that Robertson can do the job," Rivera said. "Hopefully he has some help in the bullpen and he can do that."
Robertson, who made his big league debut with the Yanks in 2008, has had time to prepare. He said that during those nights he shared a bullpen with Rivera, he would try to focus on watching what Rivera did leading up to the ninth inning, rather than what was said.
"I can't put my finger on one thing," Robertson said. "I feel like he always told me, 'Be you out there.' I just watched how he did it himself, how he was so consistent and never let what happened in the game affect him.
"He was just Mr. Consistent. I think there was one stretch last year where he had three blown saves in a row, and you couldn't tell the difference when he came in. He was still the same exact guy."
Robertson has experienced some rough stretches himself over the years, including one blown save in May 2012 -- shortly after Rivera's season-ending knee injury -- that seemed crushing at the time.
That night, when Robertson inherited a one-run lead and allowed four to the Rays, he couldn't resist logging onto his Twitter account (@drob30). Pleasantly surprised by the lack of vitriol, he tweeted a message to the fans and thanked them for their support.
"That's the hardest part. It comes with time," Robertson said. "That was a couple of years ago now. Now, I can go home, I can get sleep about it, see the family, return the next day and be ready to go. You may have got me yesterday, but I'm going to get you today."
Robertson was a closer at the University of Alabama and had a smattering of experience in the role coming up through the Yankees' Minor League chain, but this will be his first extended opportunity in the big leagues. He was 5-1 with a 2.04 ERA and three saves in 70 appearances last year, and while his track record of 8-for-18 in save chances does not pop off the page, Robertson explains those numbers as a small, quirky sample size.
"You lose a game or you lose the lead, any game with a lost lead, it's a blown save," Robertson said. "In actual save opportunities where I've come in for the ninth, I've got three or four in a row. There's not a lot of ballgames to work with. It's the same thing. You've got to get outs; got to make pitches. It's still the same game, just a different inning."
About the only area where Robertson is prepared to cede a victory to Rivera comes in the music department. Rivera's entrance to Metallica's "Enter Sandman" was an iconic all-timer, and no one will ever think of Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Sweet Home Alabama" as an intimidating, ominous tune.
"I'm going to stick with it for a while," Robertson said. "Let me get some saves under my belt before I start thinking about changing it. I like my song. It relaxes me, mellows me out, and it reminds me of where I came from and how I got here."
Though the Yankees hope that it won't be necessary to interrupt Rivera's retirement so soon, it is comforting to know that his wisdom will be only a phone call and a short drive away in New York's Westchester County.
During the Panama trip, Robertson said that the Yanks were bombarding Rivera with autograph requests, trying to snare keepsakes for family and friends -- and maybe just one last piece for themselves. In that madness, Robertson was able to sneak a few words in.
"I told him, 'Come by the clubhouse. Come hang out,'" Robertson said. "'If I start stinking, come give me a pitching lesson. Show me what I'm doing wrong.' I expect him to show up once a month or so. He should. I think he'll get bored."

Former USC and Raiders quarterback Todd Marinovich, who has a history of drug-related arrests, is again in trouble with the law with his arrest in Irvine, where police say he was found in the nude and with marijuana in a residential backyard.
Police were called about 9 p.m. Friday regarding a "naked person seen on a trail," Irvine police Cmdr. Mike Hallinan said.
Officers were sent to Venta Spur Trail to investigate and, while looking for the suspect, "heard noises from a backyard off of Bluecoat," Hallinan said.
The residents of the home also called police, saying they saw the nude suspect in their yard, Hallinan said.
Marinovich was cited and released after police booked him on suspicion of trespassing, possession of a controlled substance and possession of drug paraphernalia.
Sans clothes and thus with "no pockets," Marinovich was carrying marijuana around in a "brown bag," Hallinan said.
The 47-year-old Marinovich was a star quarterback at USC and the Raiders' first-round draft pick in 1991, but drug problems drove him from the NFL after two seasons and he has had repeated run-ins with the law over drugs in the decades since.
Contact information for Marinovich or an attorney who could comment for him could not immediately be found.

Given a closed bounded set $X \subset \mathbb{R}^3$ and two curves $\gamma_1$ and $\gamma_2$ in the group of orientation preserving isometries of $\mathbb{R}^3$. Define the sets $X_1$ and $X_2$ as the infinite intersections $X_1 = \bigcap_{p \in \gamma_1} pX$ and $X_2 = \bigcap_{q \in \gamma_2} qX$ where $kX$ represents the set $X$ transformed by $k$. If each of the $pX$ and $qX$ are measurable sets with measure $\mu$ defined on $\mathbb{R}^3$, and for each $p \in \gamma_1$ there exists a distinct $q \in \gamma_2$ such that $\mu(X \cap pX) \ge \mu(X \cap qX)$, can I conclude that $\mu(X_2) \le \mu(X_1)$ ? How so/ Why not? (We can assume the identity element of the isometry group is in both $\gamma_1$ and $\gamma_2$ if needed)
EDIT: Changed conclusion from $X_2 \subseteq X_1$ to $\mu(X_2) \le \mu(X_1)$ per Andreas Blass's comment.

Who could've predicted that the 2001 film The Fast and the Furious - a flashy neo-Noir about the underground car racing sub-culture - would, over the decade following its release, give rise to a critically-respected global box office juggernaut?
Fast & Furious 6 is the fourth installment to be directed by Justin Lin, who is responsible for moving the series away from race drama terrain and towards the heist/thriller genre on an international playing field (starting with Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift). In Screen Rant's official Fast & Furious 6 review, our Ben Kendrick goes into detail with his breakdown of why Lin's film amounts to good old popcorn movie fun.
Some people rally against these movies for being exercises in over-indulgence, be it due to the metal-crunching spectacle, the beautiful cast of men and women - who play criminals that are ripe for ogling - or the exotic vehicle and bullet car inventory. Sure, the Fast and the Furious series can be summed up as a guilty pleasure (no more, no less), yet Lin's so-called shallow blockbusters don't seem to generate the same passionate negative responses as, say, Michael Bay's collective filmography.
We've come up with three main reasons as to why this franchise has become a modern pop-culture touchstone.
1. It's a Superhero Franchise in Disguise
Superheroes are the spiritual descendants of deities and regular people (who land themselves in extraordinary circumstances) found throughout ancient mythology. They are, in essence, anthropomorphic metaphors whose personal struggles, conflicts, turmoil, and tribulations reflect the universal experiences of the general human population at any time in history. Comic book superhero movies are all the rage nowadays, in part because more filmmakers have come to appreciate their value as meaningful examples of storytelling.
Fast and the Furious characters like Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel) possess super-human qualities - like the ability to jump from moving vehicles going hundreds of miles per hour and land with nary a scratch - but what really makes Dom as much a superhero as Batman or Iron Man - even without a costume (we'll say his odd-fitting tight shirts don't count) - is his higher moral calling and devotion to family. The rest of his crew, likewise, must wrestle with matters like parental responsibilities, love, greed vs. generosity, and their obligations to other people, all of which are presented in a context that reflects life in the 21st century.
No denying, it can be fun to mock the ridiculous action and melodrama found in each and every installment of the Fast and the Furious series. However, at the end of the day, these movies qualify as dyed-in-the-wool superhero movies - and well-made ones at that:
- They show people doing genuinely extraordinary things.
- The characters and their problems aren't a secondary concern to the plot (ex. Fast & Furious 6 really IS about Dom attempting to repair his fractured family).
In that sense, they're more successful than some of the more densely-constructed comic book superhero movies that get caught up trying to do too much (*insert your superhero movie of choice here*), which leads me to my next point...
2. They Never Forget What They Are
There's rarely (if ever) a hint of embarrassment in the way the better Fast and the Furious movies are put together. Lin and screenwriter Chris Morgan - more so than their predecessors (Rob Cohen, John Singleton, etc.) - do not pretend to be using a sophisticated collection of character types and tropes in their storytelling. Instead, they enjoy getting to create "low art" and play everything straight without a hint of irony, hipper-than-thou sarcasm or self-awareness. (True, this can make for some unintentionally hilarious moments, but that's just part of the fun.)
Lin's movies, for example, are full to the brim with scantily-clad women, chiseled men, hyperactive editing, bombastic action and pulsating musical accompaniment; basically, everything that people typically identify as being "wrong" with Hollywood movies nowadays. Yet, because these films are so honest and unapologetic about what they have to offer, it allows these elements to feel all the more organic to the proceedings. Hence, Fast and the Furious movies don't attract the same criticisms of fan service and inappropriate pandering that other blockbusters tend to get (see: Alice Eve's strip-down in Star Trek Into Darkness).
Funnily enough, because the cast and crew of the Fast and the Furious series are so earnest in their presentation of low-grade entertainment, they are better able to produce something worthwhile. Ironically, they're more successful than some filmmakers who set out to make artsy fare or get wrapped up in the importance of the subject matter they are exploring onscreen.
People such as Lin and Morgan recognize that pulpy and action-driven storytelling really ought to be... well, pulpy and action-oriented, and their devotion to the cause - in combination with improved skills in that style of filmmaking over the years - has contributed to this franchise becoming a well-liked money-making machine.
3. They Embrace Diversity
Every one of the Fast and the Furious movies' casts are composed of sex symbols - who are dressed to show off their physique - yet their ranks include people of different genders, ethnicities and cultural backgrounds. Many a tentpole franchise revolves around a cast of good-looking actors and actresses, yet in this case they are distinguishable in ways besides personality. Commercially-speaking, that is a smart move that helps to attract a larger crowd (and avoid complaints about trying to force in more non-white characters).
Similarly, from a creative perspective, this franchise spreads a positive message about the importance of unifying across the divides of race, gender, nationality - or even the line between law-abider and criminal - in order to accomplish a greater goal (like, say, taking down a terrorist profiteer in Fast & Furious 6). Both the men and women in these films have special talents and just about every one of them serve a larger purpose in the story (even when it's a simple one).
The Fast and the Furious players also compliment each other, in terms of their capabilities and strengths; hence, the maternal Mia Toretto (Jordana Brewster) is portrayed as being just as admirable as the tough-as-nails auto expert Letty Ortiz (Michelle Rodriguez).
Most of the male and female characters are stock types that some tend to dismiss as stereotypes - yet because the cast and the filmmakers respect them - while letting them participate in the fun - they feel closer to real people. (Besides, not every one fits into a box - after all, when was the last time you saw an Asian character portrayed as a cool and handsome guy with no real fighting abilities, a la Sung Kang as Han?)
The Fast and the Furious movies are fun and flashy entertainment that better succeed at being relevant pop-art than other blockbusters or related mainstream films. In the end, that's what I feel sets them apart from similar popcorn movies, and has contributed to the longevity of this franchise (which is about to cross the $2 billion mark, worldwide).

LEOMINSTER � Opponents of the Mass Live Casino celebrated yesterday after the Massachusetts Gaming Commission chose Plainville over Leominster for the state's one slots only license.
Supporters of the casino were disappointed and said the city lost an opportunity for jobs and economic growth.
Leominster resident Arline Stith, co-chairman of No Slots Leominster, a group created to oppose the slots casino from opening on Jungle Road, said she spent the past three days watching all the deliberations by the Gaming Commission.
"It was a real nail-biter, but I am very happy," she said. "It's a David and Goliath story, and I am so thrilled."
Mrs. Stith said she sees the decision as a miracle.
"I'm so relieved that it is not coming here," she said, adding that she believes prayers from many of the opponents helped.
Mrs. Stith started with a small group she organized after the casino plan was announced. She said it was her first campaign of any type, but felt it was an important issue. From the small group, they became more and more visible leading up to the September referendum, which allowed the casino to move forward to final consideration by the Gaming Commission. The casino was supported by 61 percent of those voting in September, in part because it promised both construction and permanent jobs for residents.
Opponents doubted the region would benefit and continued to campaign against the proposal.
"I think we can do better for economic development in the city than a slots parlor," Mrs. Stith said. "The decision is great news to our ears."
Theresa Cross of Leominster, another opponent of the casino, said she too was thrilled with the decision and grateful to the people who worked in opposition to the casino.
"I think it's a great blessing," she said.
Ms. Cross said the city could use family entertainment and small business, both of which she does not believe the casino would have brought. But she said she was surprised by the decision. She said it was her understanding the Gaming Commission wanted the casino in an area away from other casinos.
"I was thinking they definitely wanted to move away from a gambling center," she said.
Ms. Cross said she feels Plainville is better equipped to deal with a casino in its community, but she also feels bad for residents in the area who opposed the casino.
Like Ms. Cross, supporters of the Leominster casino believed the location was a plus for the proposal. It is well away from any other proposed Massachusetts casino and would have helped prevent a New Hampshire casino from siphoning money out of the state.
Patrick McCarty, who was one of the first to become actively involved with the pro-casino effort when he was approached last spring to find a location Cordish Cos. could build on, was doubly disappointed. The location eventually selected by the developers is owned by his family, but he said he also feels the casino would have benefited the city.
"We thought it was a tremendous opportunity for Leominster," he said. "Obviously the commission did not see it that way."
David Nault, who was involved in the casino effort from the start and helped run the campaign to win the referendum in September, said the decision is a major loss for the city and its residents.
"The $4 million a year in revenue the Cordish Cos. would have given to the city and the jobs are a major loss," he said. "There are so many people we know who have a had time feeding their families and keeping their homes warm at night."
Mr. Nault said he strongly believes other businesses in the city and surrounding communities would have also benefited.
"What it would have done for area businesses is incredible," he said. "If they did it (chose Plainville) to keep the horse racing industry alive, it doesn't make sense to me."
Mr. Nault said the state would have doubly benefited because Leominster is a Gateway City where state resources are supposed to be targeted to improve employment and other issues. He said the casino money would have come to the city through the agreement between Cordish and the city, but also would have helped with jobs.
"We don't have a lot of opportunities for jobs," he said.
Mr. Nault said although his is strongly disappointed in the loss of the casino, he is glad for the start of casino gambling in the state. He said it will result in more money in the state budget for education.

During the last 20 years, internet options have improved and continue to get better year after year. If a company has been stuck with one option, it's probably time to search anew. With so many advancements in technology, it's easy to miss out on things like key upgrades and great packages. Nevertheless, each option has its own limitations. For instance, availability could be an issue. The business internet service in Ward, CO may be proficient, but have an inadequate distribution network. Therefore, before making a choice, it is imperative that a company conducts thorough research on the numerous ISP choices available in their immediate area. The most popular types of Internet services are fixed wireless, satellite, T1, optic, fiber, and DSL.
The majority of business ISPs in Ward, CO do not offer Internet alone. They provide a number of services as a complete package. Therefore, it is better to look for an Internet provider that offers a complete package. Email, business web hosting, and business phone service can be included. Not only is such a package convenient, it's a money saver for a business as well. This type of package should not be difficult to find, as many ISPs offer a full service package. For example, they will manage various functions for a business like support and service. If the provider is well experienced with a professional staff, expenses should be cut-down, which eliminates the need to hire a separate staff. In due course, business operational costs are greatly reduced.
A company should hire an Internet provider that provides consulting services and personal visits to the business to properly evaluate any needs. The ISP will usually offer sound advice about factors that will improve the productivity of the company like making upgrades to existing technologies. A competent ISP firm will counsel a business on the amount of bandwidth it needs, and may also include options aimed at managing devices remotely.
Long upload and download hours due to a slow internet connection may be frustrating. Furthermore, the business stands to make some losses. It is not advisable for a business to choose low speeds to save money because such an action is not aligned with the company's interests. The main reason for purchasing business internet in Ward, CO is to facilitate smooth connectivity during peak hours and when there are many devices connected to the web.
A business should inquire about throttling and bandwidth caps when considering speed and internet bandwidth. You should ask whether the ISP company has any restrictions on downloads during different times of the day. Some ISPs have limitations that are hidden in the contract form.
A business should always go for an internet provider that provides security protection. The best ISP companies in Ward, CO offer their customers anti-spam, anti-malware, anti-spyware, anti-defense, and anti-virus software. Make sure that you know the amount of protection provided by the internet provider. Moreover, inquire whether the company offers protection to mobile devices that connect to the system. It is vital for a system to have backup capabilities. If the system crashes, the backup feature ensures that your business does not lose any file that was stored on the network. It automatically restores all your data. The main types of backups are cloud-based and workplace backups.
Businesses that use the internet for their services require more than the average level of support from an ISP. If a company experiences any kind of internet slowdown, they have a lot more to lose. Maintaining a strong, fast connection ensures that company employees remain productive and sales can continue.
Be sure to use an ISP that offer a "Service Level Agreement". This guarantee of constant up-time or else very little downtime, ensure that the ISP works hard to keep a company's internet running. If the ISP fails and there is an interruption in service, the agreement offers remedies for the business. This can include a credit towards the internet bill when service is interrupted for a certain period. A quality business ISP in Ward, CO will also have a business support phone number to report downtime. Businesses should also find out about the qualifications of the IT personnel who will be fixing any service problems.

Such an analysis will help a business get the most from the investment it makes in getting an ISP in Ward, CO. Since this is a dynamic industry, a good business internet service provider must be able to adapt to the latest trends and technologies and tweak their services accordingly.

Innovation key ingredient in cost-cutting recipe, says expert
According to Nutrimarketing's Sophie de Reynal, price is still the biggest driver for food purchases, and ingredient firms have come forward with solutions to help manufacturers switch out the most costly commodities, including eggs, milk, sugar, and natural flavourings like vanilla.
In 2008, about 58% of French food manufacturers said they had modified proportions of ingredients in an effort to cut costs, while 46% had tried to use less expensive ingredients, Reynal said in a recent presentation.
2012: A big year for egg replacement
Egg was particularly problematic for food companies this year, as new EU rules on hen cages led to an egg shortage, and egg replacement technologies have proliferated.
Arla Food Ingredients said in March that it expected sales of its Nutrilac egg replacement ingredient – from whey protein fractions – to double this year as a result of the shortage, and Kerry Ingredients and Flavours also said it expected a significant boost in the sales of its egg replacers, made from hydrolyzed proteins from soy, wheat, casein, peas and rice.
Natural flavours
In other cases, flavours have proved useful substitutes for more expensive ingredients. Vanilla is a particularly expensive flavouring that many food companies have sought to replace with synthetic vanillin – but there are also natural alternatives available.
Frutarom, for example, has introduced two natural vanilla substitutes that can be labelled as 'natural flavour' and are comparable in price and taste to synthetic vanillin, it says.
Saving time, saving money
De Reynal said that targeting time-saving strategies is another way that ingredient suppliers are looking to appeal to cost-cutting manufacturers, while improving yields has also been a big driver.
DSM has introduced Maxicurd protein hydrolysate, which increases cheese yield by 4%, for example.

As U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin declared victory Wednesday for Walgreen Co.'s decision to keep its headquarters in Illinois, Republican businessman Jim Oberweis accused him of "bullying," saying the Senate's second-ranking Democrat deserved scorn — not praise — for his efforts.
"His bullying of (Walgreen) was a political stunt designed to help only one person: Dick Durbin," said Oberweis, a state senator and dairy magnate trying to unseat Durbin on Nov. 4. "It didn't create any jobs. It didn't reform our job-killing tax code."
Durbin led the effort to stop Deerfield-based Walgreen from relocating its headquarters to Switzerland to reduce its U.S. taxes, warning its CEO in a letter last month that the company may find its customers are "deeply patriotic and will not support Walgreen's decision to turn its back on the United States."
He also sponsored legislation to stop American companies that incorporate overseas from getting federal contracts, asked President Barack Obama to sign an executive order to make the practice more difficult and started an online petition he said generated more than 19,000 signatures.
Walgreen announced Wednesday it would stay headquartered in Deerfield, Illinois, saying it was "mindful of the ongoing public reaction."
"We won!" Durbin said an email to campaign supporters a few hours later.
"It's important for our country to grow, and the way it grows is when great corporations like Walgreen's stay here and build from the ground up," Durbin said.
His campaign spokesman, Ron Holmes, said "Only Jim Oberweis and the Swiss government would scorn today's job announcement."
Oberweis and other Republicans, including gubernatorial candidate Bruce Rauner, have argued the practice known as "inversion" is a signal that Illinois and the U.S. need to reduce tax rates to be more competitive. They say doing so would help keep companies in the state and create new jobs, and note companies are under pressure from investors to maximize profit.
"The right answer is not to create walls, to block companies and people," Rauner told Chicago's WMAQ-TV last week. "... We should be about freedom, choice and competition."
Democratic Gov. Pat Quinn, who is seeking his second full term, condemned the growing trend as "unpatriotic."
He told reporters Wednesday that he spoke to Walgreen Co. CEO Greg Wasson after the decision was made. He called it a good move and said he would shop at the drug store later in the day, as he does almost every day.
Walgreen, the nation's largest drugstore chain, has been based in Illinois for more than a century.

Ten large-scale insect sculptures are scattered throughout the lush, manicured landscape as part of the David Rogers' "Big Bugs" installation.
The Heritage Museums & Gardens are bugged. But don't worry, spying is encouraged here.
Ten large-scale insect sculptures are scattered throughout the lush, manicured landscape as part of the David Rogers' "Big Bugs" installation. A sculptor and naturalist, Rogers has created 25-foot-long ants and dragonflies with 17-foot wingspans, using combinations of wood and forest materials.
The sculptures include three ants, an assassin bug, a damselfly, a praying mantis, a spider on a web, a ladybug and a daddy longlegs. Weighing up to 1,200 pounds, the giant bugs are positioned in spots that will surprise the visitor. By the end, you'll be saying "ahh" more than "eww."
"Insects play this vital role in a garden but are unnoticed, so I put them on such a large scale that you can't help but notice them," Rogers said.
An information panel accompanies each creepy-crawly structure. Visitors will learn quick facts like assassin bugs kill prey with lethal saliva and ants basically play follow the leader. Signs warn playfully: "Please don't crawl on our bugs and they won't crawl on you!"
The big bugs appear to be a hit with children. On a recent visit, kids enjoyed posing for photos under the limbs of the 10-foot-tall daddy longlegs and discovering each sculpture as if they were on a scavenger hunt.
The exhibit will be on display through Oct. 26.
"An Even Bigger Big Bugs Bash," a daylong series of educational sessions and fun events for the family, is scheduled for 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 24. The lineup includes an insect safari, a Bug Ball, bug-themed musical performances and a critter craft activity.
Author Amy Stewart, who wrote "Wicked Bugs," "Wicked Plants" and "The Drunken Botanist," will hold a a book signing and give a talk.
