More than two decades ago, Cruz Reynoso was dumped by California voters from the state Supreme Court, along with Chief Justice Rose Bird and fellow Justice Joseph Grodin.
It was the result of an acrimonious 1986 political campaign in which the three were labeled by conservative leaders as soft-on-crime Jerry Brown appointees.
So Reynoso, named this week to head a UC Davis task force investigating the pepper spraying of student protesters, knows a thing or two about political and civil conflict.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
With Jerry Brown now back in the governor's office, and expressing concern about police response to the Davis protest, his former appointee, Reynoso, finds himself back in the spotlight once again on the issue of public safety.
Reynoso, a retired law professor at both UC Davis and UCLA, was appointed by UC President Mark Yudof amid growing political and social unrest over the Nov. 18 pepper spraying incident.
Yudof says Reynoso will be "absolutely fair".
As head of the task force, he'll have to manage a group of students, faculty and staff who are being named at the request of embattled Davis Chancellor Linda Katehi.
The task force is meant to address campus policing issues, including a review of an independent investigation to be headed by former Los Angeles Police Chief William Bratton.
The University knows its credibility is on the line with its response.
Reynoso's appointment follows a letter from Gov. Jerry Brown to a statewide law enforcement commission, saying, in part, "I am seriously concerned that the rules governing the use of force, in particular the use of pepper spray, are not well understood in the context of civil disobedience.."
It's another political hothouse for Cruz Reynoso.

The Crimson moves to 12-12 on the season and ends CWPA Northern Division play with a 1-3 mark in the conference. Brown ups its record to 19-13 on the year and 1-3 in the Northern Division.
Brown climbed out to a 3-1 lead at the first intermission that it would not let up. The Bears increased its advantage to 7-1 with two and a half minutes remaining in the half. Harvard buried two goals in the final minutes before halftime to make the score 7-3 at the break. The two squads traded scores in the third quarter to keep the Brown lead to four, 9-5. The Crimson offense heated up in the final period, tallying five goals. The Bears matched Harvard with five scores of their own.
Aisha Price lead the offensive attack with four goals. Ita Barton-Kettleborough registered a hat trick while Devan Kennifer netted a pair of goals. Shannon Purcell rounded out the scoring, finding the back of the net once in the contest.
Harvard will now await the announcement of the field for the Eastern Championships. The Crimson will need an at-large bid to compete at the tournament. The event will be held April 30-May 2 at College Park, Md.

) --Paul Taubman, outgoing co-president of institutional securities at
Morgan Stanley
(MS) - Get Report
, may seek a government position if President Obama wins a second term in office following Tuesday's elections, according to a person close to the executive.
Morgan Stanley announced on Monday that Taubman, a 51 year-old investment banker who has spent his entire 30-year career at the company and rose to become one of its top-ranking executives, would "retire" at the end of the year. He owns nearly 1.6 million Morgan Stanley shares worth some $28 million, making him the second-largest shareholder among company executives after CEO James Gorman, according to Morgan Stanley's latest proxy statement.
Taubman has been a longtime supporter of Obama, dating back to the 2008 Democratic presidential primary, when he was responsible for bringing the candidate to meet with several of the firm's top executives. The person close to Taubman says he would be a suitable candidate for several government positions, including Deputy Treasury Secretary or Director of the National Economic Council.
Taubman's departure from Morgan Stanley allows Colm Kelleher, the other co-head of institutional securities, to take sole responsibility for the business. The rivalry between the two men was well-known, and was the subject of stories in both
The New York Times
Bloomberg News
in 2011. Taubman lost out to Kelleher, according to the person close to Taubman, because Kelleher had greater breadth of experience, having worked as CFO and in markets and investment banking roles. Taubman has only worked as an investment banker.
last year, reflecting on the career of friend and former colleague Tom Nides, now Deputy Secretary of State, Taubman said, "Tom is helping to show everyone that you can move even in the current climate from business into government and not have the scarlet letter on you." He added that "the fact that
Nides was so warmly embraced in D.C. notwithstanding the fact that he spent a long time on Wall Street gives hope to a lot of people that ultimately talented people can come back and serve their country."
In the same interview, Taubman reflected upon the benefits of a career that combines both government and business experience.
"Increasingly, large complex organizations require senior executives to be able to navigate both worlds because they're so interdependent," he said.
A call to Taubman was not returned, and a Morgan Stanley spokeswoman did not respond to questions.

A recent class action suit against Lehman Brothers as well as an enforcement proceeding against UBS Financial Services by New Hampshire has encouraged investors to hire investment recovery litigators and pursue claims against firms selling Lehman Brothers principal protected notes in an attempt to recoup their financial losses. According to New Hampshire's claim, UBS engaged in broker malpractice by failing to disclose the risky nature of principal protected notes (PPNs). As a result, New Hampshire investors lost 2.5 million.
Principal Protected Notes
Principal protected notes (PPNs) are structured investments that have been around for years. Like all structured investments, PPNs connect CDs and fixed income notes to the performance of currencies, commodities, equities and/or other assets. Structures investment products are legitimate investments, and principal protected notes are a legitimate form of them.
Structured investments may have partial or full principal protection. Some pay a variable sum at their maturity. Others pay by coupons that are connected to a particular index or security. Given their risk and return reports, structured investments in general are appropriate for the portfolios of many investors.
In short, they are unsecured promissory notes connect to referenced securities, and as such they are not without risks. Unfortunately, according to claimants, investment firms committed broker malpractice by marketing these products to customers as safe investment alternatives.
Marketing of PPNs to Retail Investors
Beginning in 2005, PPNs became a particularly popular type of structured investment for retail customers. Noting their increased sales to non-institutional customers, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) expressed concern that brokers were committing a breach of fiduciary duty by marketing principal protected notes to retail customers as "conservative" investments with "predictable current income." In fact, the agency issued a notice to brokerage firms in September of 2005 that clear guidance regarding the risks involved in these financial products should be given to retail customers.
PPNs, Lehman Brothers & Bankruptcy
When PPNs mature, investors typically receive a return on the principal from the borrower. In this case, the borrower was Lehman Brothers. Unfortunately for investors, when Lehman Brothers filed for bankruptcy, even the principal on these notes became unprotected. Lehman's PPN obligations on the notes were unsecured–and behind secured notes in the creditor bankruptcy line up.
The Case Against Lehman Brothers
Unsurprisingly, investors are now seeking to recover their financial losses. Although the specific allegations of claimants vary, all assert that Lehman Brothers, selling brokerages like UBS Financial Services and others, committed broker malpractice by falsely marketing PPNs as conservative investment product alternatives.
Specifically, claimants allege, these PPN products were depicted as 100 percent principal protected if investors held them to maturity.
Brokers also presented the PPNs as principal protected if the indices underlying them held their value. Furthermore, firms and brokers did not warn customers of the risks involved in investing in PPNs, nor did they warn them about what would happen if the underlying backer of the notes, Lehman Brothers, defaulted. Customers were also not made aware of the Lehman Brothers' decline and that its fall could affect their investment's value, making it in effect worthless.
It's also been alleged that firms continued to push PPNs after Bear Stearns collapse, a failure which should have been a clear indicator or "red flag" of the risks involved in investing in banks that hold large numbers of subprime mortgages. It's also been alleged that firms pushed PPNs on retail customers at a time when they themselves were reducing their PPN holdings. The accuracy or falsity of these claims has yet to be determined. But if firms did indeed recommend PPNs while reducing their own holdings, litigators are likely to claim broker fraud rather than simply failure to disclose.
Did your financial advisor mislead you into investing in PPNs, causing you to suffer financial loss as a result? If so, you need the advice of an investment recovery counsel. Contact Carlson Law in San Diego at 619-544-9300 today for a free consultation.

I want to vent dryer through the rim joist of this home but it looks like this home has some sort of stone sheathing underneath the cedar shake. I can only see it from the basement. I can't really tell from outside without some destructive testing.
I am trying to figure out what this is, poking it with a screwdriver it appears to be hard as stone and would quickly dull my hole saw. The sill plate is atypical too. It looks to be more like a 4x6 with the floor joist notched and resting on it.
There is room above this beam for the dryer vent but I don't want to open a can of worms.
The foundation is 24" thick feild stone.
Any idea what I have? Could it just be plaster?
EDIT: Picture attached. I was wrong, there is no room above the beam. Above it you can see the hard material. Either way, I'm not sure I want to drill through the thick sill plate beam now.

In the wake of the Supreme Court's decision in Citizens United v. Federal Elections Commission, which opened political campaigns to unlimited contributions from corporations, the American people are demanding everything from legislative fixes to constitutional amendments to defend the integrity of our democracy.
In Citizens United, the high court cited two earlier rulings—that money is speech, and that corporations are "persons" entitled to constitutional rights—to produce a third ruling that further usurps rule by the people.
The attempts to combat Citizens United vary from modest legislation to prohibit the worst interpretations of the decision from becoming law to calls to amend the United States Constitution. Some believe a constitutional amendment should abolish corporate rights to political free speech, while others are building a movement behind an amendment that would abolish all corporate constitutional rights.
Pending Legislation
On the legislative front, some states—including Iowa, Maryland, Ohio, and West Virginia—have introduced bills to compel public disclosure of all corporate and union political disbursements, require a majority vote of shareholders or union members for political campaign expenditures, or ban "pay to play" corruption (preventing state contractors from making campaign contributions on behalf of state political candidates or their campaigns). In other words, the legislative fixes are designed to make the impact of the decision a little less bad—without challenging the illegitimate premise that corporations are sovereign and entitled to human rights.
Similarly, federal legislation has been introduced in both houses of Congress to reduce the impact of Citizens United by creating hurdles to corporations "investing" in—or opposing—political candidates. These include proposals to prohibit political contributions or investments from foreign corporations, as well as to seek prior shareholder approval before corporations dip into their treasuries to spend money on campaigns.
But legislative fixes will not reverse the court's decision. They can only address elements the court left undefined.
Some states have taken a stronger approach by targeting efforts to abolish corporate political free speech rights. For example, Alaska introduced bills in the House and Senate to prohibit for-profit corporations and limited liability companies from being considered persons for the purposes of elections, initiatives, referendums, or recalls. Significantly, by including citizens' initiatives, these bills push back against an earlier U.S. Supreme Court ruling (Boston v. Bellotti, 1978) that gave corporations the right to unlimited speech (i.e. to spend unlimited money) in efforts to overturn grassroots initiatives.
Senator Hollis French, a candidate for governor, is a sponsor of the Senate bill. In a press release, he called on other states to pass similar legislation in order to "strengthen a future challenge to the Court's decision that corporations are 'persons' under election financing laws."
Washington State is considering a joint resolution asking Congress to initiate amending the U.S. Constitution "so that corporations will not be considered as persons for the purposes of electioneering communications or direct contributions to candidates for public office."
Citizen Movements
Several public organizations, including Free Speech for People, Public Citizen, and People for the American Way, are also working to abolish the rights of corporate persons to use political speech to influence elections, candidate selections, and policy decisions. A nationwide coalition of grassroots, community-based civil rights and social justice groups have come together under the banner of the Campaign to Legalize Democracy, which is rapidly building a popular movement to achieve genuine self-governance: rule by the people as promised in America's founding documents.
The campaign advocates a series of amendments to the U.S. Constitution:
- to affirm that only human beings are entitled to constitutional protections (thus abolishing all claims by non-living entities to constitutional rights);
- to establish that money is not speech;
- to protect local communities, their economies, and democracies against illegitimate "preemption" actions by global, national, and state governments.
These amendments address the fundamental issue raised in Citizens United: Who rules? Is it the nation's citizens, as our founders intended? Or is it concentrated capital (corporate "persons") wielding human rights such as "free speech" (including money) to elect politicians and judges to do their bidding? Hundreds of democratically enacted local, state, and federal laws that attempt to protect our elections, safety, health, environment, and our right to organize have been overturned by corporations wielding such illegitimate power.
In the three months since Citizens United was decided, the strongest response to the sovereignty question has come from "we the people." As envisioned by our founders, the people are the ultimate defense of our democratic republic and human rights. It is heartening to see such a diverse and rapid response to the very real threat that Citizens United poses to government of, for, and by the people.

Josh Smith agrees with Detroit Pistons
- Josh Smith agreed to a four-year%2C %2456 million deal with the Detroit Pistons
- Smith averaged 17.5 points%2C 8.4 rebounds%2C 4.2 assists and 1.8 blocks per game last season in Altanta
- Smith had been in discussions with Houston as well
Free agent forward Josh Smith has agreed to sign with the Detroit Pistons on a four-year, $56 million deal, a person with knowledge of the situation confirmed.
The person spoke on the condition of anonymity because the agreement cannot be finalized until the free agency moratorium lifts on July 10. After five consecutive losing seasons and a 2012-13 campaign in which they went 29-53, Detroit was desperate for a veteran star who could help turn things around while joining the young core that includes center Greg Monroe and guard Brandon Knight.
Smith, who spent his first nine seasons in Atlanta and remains one of the better two-way players in the game, will certainly help the Pistons' cause. He averaged 17.5 points, 8.4 rebounds, 4.2 assists and 1.8 blocks per game last season as the Hawks went 44-38 and lost to the Indiana Pacers in six games in the first round of the playoffs.
Smith had been in discussions with Houston as well, but the Rockets landed Dwight Howard on Friday and were unable to find any sign-and-trade scenarios that would allow Smith to partner with his childhood friend from Atlanta. Yahoo Sports first reported the story.

There is no magic bullet for fixing California's dysfunctional government. The job will never be complete. But Proposition 31 on the November ballot is one step in the right direction, and while it's not perfect, it's worthwhile. Vote yes.
The initiative is a collection of reforms produced from years of work by California Forward, the bipartisan group that earlier supported the top-two primary and the citizens' redistricting commission, which were approved by voters. These reforms should gradually make the Legislature more accountable to every Californian.
Proposition 31 should do the same. It will help lawmakers make better decisions and give local governments sharper tools to solve complex problems.
Its most important section would require that bills be made public at least three days before a vote in the Legislature. That would help prevent fiascos like last month's pension reform, when a bill was rushed through before experts — or even lawmakers — could decipher its highly technical language. One major flaw would have gone through if the Bay Area News Group's Dan Borenstein hadn't blown the whistle. The existing system results in flawed policy and diminishes trust in government.
Proposition 31 also establishes a two-year budget cycle and requires performance goals and reviews of all programs. The Legislature would have to evaluate whether programs are working and decide whether to fix or kill the ones that aren't. And the measure prohibits the Legislature from creating ongoing programs that cost $25 million or more a year without saying where the money will come from. It won't, as critics contend, prevent spending surplus money in a given year — but the Legislature can't commit to long-term spending without a funding source.
This portion of the measure also should have applied to initiatives. If it passes, new spending programs may just end up on the ballot. Still, it's a good start.
Proposition 31 includes two more controversial provisions. One would allow the governor to make spending cuts in an emergency if the Legislature refuses. Some believe this gives too much power to the governor, but we think it's a fairly mild reform: The Legislature has to do very little to avoid triggering the governor's powers.
The section that's most confusing would allow local governments to join forces to work on intractable problems — reducing homelessness, say, or increasing the high school graduation rate. If counties, cities and school districts agree to a Community Strategic Action Plan, they can gain relief from some state requirements and have access to a small pot of money.
Some environmentalists say this could enable local governments to evade the California Environmental Quality Act. But Proposition 31 has plenty of checks and balances; these plans, which will be relatively rare, must be approved by a host of elected officials, and the Legislature can veto them. Moreover, they are designed to help provide services, not build projects. CEQA shouldn't apply.
We wish this initiative were clearer and simpler, but government is messy. Proposition 31 would help make it more efficient and accountable. Vote yes.

"21 Jump Street" is rightly remembered as little more than being the springboard for Johnny Depp's fame. And yet, by sheer force of Jonah Hill's will, it's now returned, reframed as a feature-length comedy. And, not to damn the film with faint praise, it is that rare reboot/adaptation that far exceeds the original material.
Hill stars as Schmidt, a pudgy high school loser who grows up to attend the police academy, where he is reunited with his former tormentor Jenko (Channing Tatum), a hulking jock, who is again a classmate. When one needs help getting in shape, and the other needs help with academics (see if you can guess who is who), an unlikely partnership is born.
When their first bust goes wrong, the duo is reassigned to "21 Jump Street," a new program run by Capt. Dickson (Ice Cube), that sends the youthful looking cops back to high school to infiltrate and take down a drug ring.
Schmidt and Jenko are given fake identities as brothers, and they must move into Schmidt's parents' house to keep their cover respectable. It's exactly the kind of hilariously stupid plot device the old show was too cool and self-serious to indulge. Too distracted to have learned which new identity is theirs, they accidentally end up having their transcripts switched, with Schmidt being taken for a track-and-field star, and Jenko landing in AP chem.
Making things more difficult for them is the culture shock—in the half-decade since they graduated, the cools kids are into environmental causes and tolerance while the jocks and their brethren are now the outcasts.
The script, which Hill co-wrote with Michael Bacall, is a just-right mix of clever and stupid, as we experience the glee of watching Schmidt finally get to be cool, the guilty-pleasure schadenfreude in Jenko living life as an outcast, and the inevitable strain this puts on their friendship.
Directed by Phil Lord and Chris Miller (the duo behind "Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs") "21 Jump Street" is a rapid-fire comedic assault on the senses that's also weirdly sweet and touching. Lord and Miller bring their manic approach to some inspired drug-fueled lunacy, Ice Cube's self-aware "angry black man" act is inspired, and Hill and Tatum both deliver the goods.
Hill, of course, is a seasoned comedian, while Tatum comes to the proceedings with something to prove. While his timing could be a wee sharper and his energy could use a bump, he deftly plays off his own pretty boy lunkhead reputation. And Brie Larson lives up to her burgeoning It Girl status as Molly, the pretty blonde cool kid who befriends Schmidt, with a disarming smile and bone-dry deadpan.
"21 Jump Street" is a sneaky smart comedy that through some alchemical wizardry breathes new life into about a half-dozen dead tired clichés. It's so good you're not even annoyed by the blatant sequel set-up at the end.
"21 Jump Street" opens in theaters everywhere this Friday

Russia's overreaction to the Greenpeace Arctic protest — and their ludicrous waffling on the actual charges — will not work out well for Russia. Their extraordinary response will more likely help the global climate movement meet its goals.
Public dissent against abusive authority appears as old as any remembered human history. The Sumerian story of King Gilgamesh begins with public complaints that the king exploited young men for war and young women for his lust, failing in his role as the "people's shepherd." In Antiquities, Jewish historian Josephus recounts peasant protests against Roman abuse, governor Pilate sending assassins and how this overreaction incited men, women and children to offer their lives en masse by laying prostrate in the city square.
In our era, Gandhi liberated India from colonialism with peaceful resistance; Martin Luther King, Rosa Parks and American freedom marchers overturned a racist culture; Aung San Suu Kyi and Nelson Mandela faced down thugs in Burma and South Africa.
In all these cases, exploitative authority overreacted to public protest with police violence, as we have witnessed more recently at Gezi Park in Istanbul, Ramses Square in Cairo and this October in New Brunswick, where Canadian police sent snipers, dogs and Taser-wielding officers to break up an Indigenous Mi'kmaq protest against fracking.
These cases form the historic context of Russia's arrest of 30 journalists, seafarers and Greenpeace International activists, originally charged with piracy, now also being charged with "hooliganism." These charges appear frivolous since the record shows that the Greenpeace protest was a peaceful demonstration of concern, staged for the benefit of every human and every other species on Earth. The Greenpeace team — now known around the world as the "Arctic 30" — devoted their time and talents to Greenpeace to help warn Russia's Gazprom and other world oil companies that their planned plunder of Arctic hydrocarbons threatens the planet's climate. This, of course, is neither piracy nor hooliganism nor any other crime.
Historically, overreaction by authorities — violence, arrests, jail — galvanises social movements, empowers individuals and strengthens organizations. When the French government detonated a bomb under the Greenpeace ship Rainbow Warrior in 1985, killing photographer Fernando Pereira, Greenpeace received a wave of global support, while France inherited a murder on its record and a stain on its historic reputation.
Since Greenpeace was founded in Canada in 1971, conscientious, skilled people have stepped forward to defend Earth's ecological health, standing up for the whales, the forests, the atmosphere and oceans. Greenpeace has attracted navy veterans, fishers, farmers, scientists, journalists, lawyers and now webmasters and videographers.
"Whenever we do something to protect our planet, it is never for personal gain or wealth or stardom," said Canadian seaman Paul Ruzycki from his jail in Russia. "On the contrary, we have nothing personal to gain, but everything personal to lose including our freedom, family and friends." Ruzycki comes from a seafaring family. He is a skilled blacksmith, welder, artist and fiddler. He has spoken out against overfishing, reckless logging, nuclear testing and the slaughter of whales. He is typical of the global citizens who comprise the Arctic 30.
Families of the Arctic 30 have become active in their home countries. In Italy, the mother of crewmember Cristian D'Alessandro has gathered over 100,000 signatures on a petition to free her son. The family of the British freelance journalist Kieron Bryan has set up a website to tell their son's story and gain his release. In Moscow, the wife of Russian freelance photographer Denis Sinyakov has picketed the government with her husband's journalist colleagues.
"I have been in prison for 22 days for a crime I did not commit," British digital media specialist Alexandra Harris told the court in Russia. "I have not seen any document showing my involvement in such a crime. The only thing that happened was peaceful protest and I believe the video evidence and Greenpeace's long history will prove this." Alexandra's parents have asked the UK government to help secure their daughter's release.
Russia has received letters from Desmond Tutu, ten other Nobel Peace Prize laureates, the Madres de Plaza de Mayo in Argentina, Olympic medalist John Carlos, and Italian actor and playwright Dario Fo. Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International, German Chancellor Angela Merkel, Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff, and former US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton have expressed concern about Russia's inappropriate persecution of the Arctic 30. Greenpeace supporters have sent 1.5 million emails to Russian consulates and embassies, calling for the Arctic 30's freedom. Avaaz has collected a million signatures.
The Netherlands — flag state of the seized Greenpeace ship Arctic Sunrise — has filed an action against Russia, asking the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea (ITLOS) in Hamburg to order the release of the Greenpeace ship and crew. The legal case states that the Greenpeace ship and crew were engaged in a "peaceful protest against Gazprom's Arctic oil platform, the Prirazlomnaya."
From around the world, we now hear the cry, "Free the Arctic 30" and "Save the Arctic." The world has not forgotten why these 30 people contributed their time and skills to Greenpeace and risked their freedom to speak out: Simply to save the Arctic from plunder and to save Earth from climate disaster. They are neither pirates nor hooligans. They are now global heroes and heroines. The longer they remain in jail, the more heroic they become in the eyes of the world.
The captain, crew, journalists and activists on board the Arctic Sunrise risked their freedom for all of us. They acted on their conscience and performed the time-honoured role of peaceful social opposition to what they perceive as injustice. They opened the public discourse about the fate of Earth's climate. For this, they will experience a freedom that no detention centre can lock away.

Looking at Turkey, Russia: people in power are holding strings of power tightly, and too me it looks like they will be able to do so.
Looking at Egypt, Near East and northern Afrika...a disaster where nowone really knows what it will turn into, and which, by the way, lead Obama to be extremly carefull when taking position when all this started.
It will not be Greenpeace, a NGO financed by the west, who will change or even influence development neither in Russia nor Turkey nor Egypt, Syria...
In times of global warming and the obviously at a extremley high speed approaching limits of growth I call it a waste of resources, a waste of donation money to focus on these countries...

With all due respect, this is not a release date, this is the date after which the prosecution must either begin trial or request additional time for investigation. If the prosecution successfully argues for additional time, the arrest may be extended. It can't be extended forever but I don't think the prosecution exhausted all possible delays.

It is really encouraging that "Greenpeace supporters have sent 1.5 million emails to Russian consulates and embassies" as you assert.
It at all possible, could you please send email to these Greenpeace supporters, that there are posts made about Greenpeace and the Arctic 30 on an hourly basis ?
And that the comment section of these posts are still flooded by climate-denier/oil shill extremist right-wing posters ? And that any pro-Greenpeace posters are still getting single digit "thumbs-up" ?
And that maybe we could use some help there ?
Please ask these 1.5 million email posters to Google "Greenpeace Arctic 30" or "Greenpeace news" or anything that you think is applicable, and let these email respondents let there opinion known on any news article that has a comment section, even if it is just to show support of the comments that they like...
That would help.

Caring for Your Christmas Tree
If you choose a natural Christmas tree this holiday season, make sure you follow these quick tips to keep it looking green and beautiful.
Tree Care
- When moving a tree, never drag its trunk on the ground or set it on hot pavement.
- Make a fresh cut on the bottom of the tree (cut at least ½" upward from the base).
- Put tree in water within 2 hours of making cut.
- Use a tree stand that will hold at least 1 gallon of water and check water level every day.
- Keep trees away from major sources of heat and air (fireplaces, heaters, heat vents, direct sunlight, fans and air conditioners).
- Make sure your stand fits the tree. Never shave the tree trunk to fit into a stand.
- When choosing lights, check to make sure they are certified for indoor use. Look for lights that carry the label of an independent testing laboratory.
- Replace any lights with worn cords or loose bulb connections. For screw-in bulbs, connect no more than three strands of lights or 50 bulbs. For LED strands, consult the manufacturer's instructions.
- Never use real, lit candles to decorate the tree.
- Always turn off Christmas tree lights at night before bed or before leaving your home.
Outdoor Christmas Arrangements
- Avoid placing arrangements in direct sunlight.
- Add water to the foam in arrangements weekly, whenever outdoor temperatures are above freezing.
- Mist Christmas greens daily with water when temperatures are above freezing, in the early morning or late evening.

For a little over a year now, I've been involved as an organizer in the e-MobiLArt project. It is a project between University of Athens, University of Lapland and University of Applied Arts in Vienna tailored around the process of collaboratively creating interactive installation artworks. More information can be found from the project website: http://www.media.uoa.gr/~charitos/emobilart/ Now the project is nearing it's end and the e-MobiLArt group exhibition is on display in Warehouse B1 in Thessaloniki, Greece.
I know that this is a bit late since the opening was last week, but I've been really busy since it's my last week in Montreal and didn't have time to post this earlier. Unfortunately, I can't make it to Greece for the exhibition, but I'm hoping to catch in Katowice, Poland this fall. Click here for exhibition details.

Maxine Redd Frost was born in Blanding, UT on October 8, 1918, to L Frank and Nettie Rose Redd. Maxine weighed in at 3 lbs, "no bigger than a quart fruit jar."
She was the oldest of seven children, and proved to be as good and clever as she was tiny.
She excelled on the piano, and at the age of 12 she became the Primary accompanist, and later the Ward Organist, a calling which she held for more than 70 years.
An excellent student, Maxine graduated from Monticello High School at age 16, and attended Utah State Agricultural College for a short time. She became secretary for the Farmer's Home Security when she returned home to Monticello and began a courtship with a handsome young farmer, recently returned from the Western States Mission of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Maxine Redd and Clarence Alfred Frost were married on October 15, 1940, in the Salt Lake LDS Temple.
Maxine and Alfred were blessed with six children: Teresa Guymon, of Orem, UT; Jeffrey Alfred (Denise) of Monticello; Jane (Conrad) Taysom of Loveland, CO; Baby Rae, who died at birth; Spencer Hardison (Jayne) of Monticello; and Dan Sterling (Nancy) of Eagle, ID.
Maxine raised an outstanding family as she and Alfred made their living farming in the Monticello area. Maxine was a great manager and cared for her family in many ways, sewing even their underwear and winter coats!
She was an excellent cook. Everyone loved her Christmas egg casserole with green chiles. She was a stickler for correct spelling and grammar—if you didn't get it right, she would let you know! She raised a huge garden, canned, and kept a beautiful yard. She served capably as both Ward and Stake Relief Society President, and then as President of the Stake Young Women's MIA.
After her children were all in school, Maxine went to work as secretary for the San Juan School District and later as manager of the Southeast Utah Title Company, Monticello Office. She was well-known for her competence in searching out titles to mineral and oil rights.
Maxine was a wonderful wife, mother, and career woman, but those who know her best agree that what they loved most about her was her kind and generous nature. She had that rare ability to hold back judgment and extend compassion. She was liberal with invitations to dinner, to stay the night, to share her home. She gave quietly, without fanfare. She was never critical, belittling, or overbearing. Her family and friends loved her dry wit and intelligent conversation. It was a great treat to sit next to her at any function, church or community, because she would have you chuckling your way through it. She was easy to love because she loved so easily.
Maxine passed away peacefully on New Year's Eve at the home of Dan and Nancy Frost in Eagle, ID. For the past three years she has been compassionately cared for by each of her children in turn. At her death she was surrounded by sons, daughters, daughters-in-law, and grandchildren. The family thanks Dan and Nancy for their tender care these past few weeks. Maxine will be missed. She was truly a remarkable woman.
Maxine is survived by three sisters: Helen Klaire Binder, of Alderly Edge, Chesire, England; Lucy Redd, of Bountiful, UT; and Marilyn Rowley of Monticello. She is survived by five children, 28 grandchildren, and 47 great-grandchildren. She is preceded in death by her loving husband, Clarence Alfred Frost.
Funeral services are Saturday, January 7, at noon in the Monticello North LDS Chapel. A viewing will be held from 9 to 11 a.m. Maxine will be interred in the Monticello Cemetery.

Some people have questioned the connection between the recent NFL player protests and communism. They have referred to comments about cultural Marxism as nothing more than a "modern right-populist bogeyman", thus inferring there is no connection at all.
To reach this conclusion, one would have to view the NFL protest in a vacuum, intentionally ignoring statements and positions that have been taken by some individuals involved in these NFL protests, and further, to ignore

by Brian4Liberty
Much attention has been focused upon the rapid retreat of Iraqi government forces from several northern cities in Iraq. Those cities include Mosul, oil-rich Baaiji and Saddam Husseins hometown of Tikrit.
As these cites have traditionally been mostly Sunni Muslim, there is little, if any local resistance to the Sunni Muslim group that has taken control of this territory.

Thinking about ebola and the scare that it can cause helps us understand the first reading and the Gospel today. The first reading, from the Book of Leviticus, tells us about how lepers are to be treated. We understand this attempt at quarantine as an effort to protect the community as a whole. Such efforts are not rejection of a person but an honest attempt to deal with the disease the person might spread and which could affect the whole people.
The person afflicted with leprosy seeks healing in order to be allowed back into normal society. Most of us don't want to be completely shunned by others! We want to belong to society even if we don't need to be the center of attention. So too the person with leprosy. He or she would want to become part of the community once again but it would be impossible for most of them. For a few, whatever disease afflicted them might disappear and they could be readmitted.
In the Gospel, a leper comes to Jesus and is cured. Jesus tells the leper not to tell others. That is impossible. The Gospel tells us that then Jesus begins to remain outside, in deserted places. That is to say, Jesus begins to live as most lepers lived: apart from others and in deserted places. It is almost as if Jesus trades place with the leper after he cures him.
Two challenges present themselves to us today. Am I willing to pray for the life of others and to ask God to cure them? Most of us Christians, followers of Jesus, are able to pray for others. But am I willing to offer my own life for the sake of another person? It is not just the healing of the other person, but am I willing to take on the form of a slave, as was Jesus?
Am I willing to become outcast from all others so that another person can be accepted once more within the human community? Am I willing not to seek my own benefit but that of the many, that they may be saved? This is the teaching of the First Letter to the Corinthians in the second reading today.
To follow Jesus and to ask the healing presence of Jesus is not about doing good without a cost! Instead, I must be willing to give up my life for others, as did our Lord Jesus. There is no life in Christ without being willing to give up my life. There is always a cost to following Jesus. Yet we know that if we give all, He also will give us all in His Kingdom. Praise God forever!

I'm just a little person,
One person in a sea
Of many little people
Who are not aware of me.
I do my little job
And live my little life,
Eat my little meals,
Miss my little kid and wife
And somewhere, maybe someday,
Maybe somewhere far away,
I'll find a second little person
who will look at me and say:
"I know you.
You're the one I've waited for.
Let's have some fun."
Life is precious every minute,
and more precious with you in it,
so let's have some fun
We'll take a road trip way out west.
You're the one I like the best.
I'm glad I've found you,
Like being around you
You're the one I like the best.
Somewhere, maybe someday,
Maybe somewhere far away,
I'll meet a second little person
And we'll go out and play.

(Phoenix, Ariz. – July 29, 2005) Attorney General Terry Goddard today warned Arizona residents to be wary of callers threatening people with arrest for missing jury duty unless they provide specific personal information. This is a new twist on identity theft, and residents should be very careful about giving any personal information to strangers.
This is a scam. The scheme works this way:
The caller identifies himself as a representative of the Superior Court of Maricopa County Jury Office and tells the person he or she has missed a jury date and must make it up. The caller then asks for personal information, such as address, Social Security number and other specific information. If the information is not provided, the story may change to the caller being a representative of the Sheriff's Department, and he may threaten arrest for missing the jury date.
If a resident improperly fails to appear for jury duty, the Court will send a second summons and it will be labeled "Second Summons." The Jury Management Office will only contact residents who contact the office requesting a new date for jury duty and leave a phone number for a return call.
Goddard offered the following tips to avoid being victimized:
- Be skeptical of callers who threaten arrest for missing jury duty unless the consumer provides specific personal information to the caller.
- Do not comply with any request to "verify information" such as a Social Security number.
- Do not agree to send the caller any written information for review.
- Hang up! Do not be afraid to be rude, even if the caller attempts to play on fear of prosecution.
- NEVER give out bank, credit card or Social Security information over the phone.
- Screen calls. Let the answering machine pick up calls from unknown callers. Most telemarketers will not leave messages.
Goddard asks residents who receive calls of this kind to report them to the Attorney General's Office by visiting the Web site at www.azag.gov and submitting an online "Consumer Complaint" or calling the Office at 602.542.5763 in Phoenix; 520.628.6504 in Tucson; or 1.800.352.8431 outside the Phoenix and Tucson metro areas.

Environmental Commentary by Tom Horton
Saving the Chesapeake Bay is a test; if we pass we get to keep the planet, wrote Chesapeake Bay Foundation president, Will Baker, in the foreword to a book I wrote about 20 years ago for the CBF.
The Bay, on the doorstep of the nations capital, polluted by all modern humans do, was as good a place as any to learn if humans could exist sustainably with the rest of nature.
What have we learned since that book, Turning The Tide, was published in 1991? In a revised, 2003 edition I set out six Lessons Learned that looked back over the previous decade.
Then, the lessons seemed mostly that we still had a lot to learn.
Now its two decades; time to revisit.
Myth of Voluntary: It was clear in 2003 that the voluntary nature of the bay restoration was flawed. Our best successes had been the odd instances where we banned something, from using phosphate detergents to catching rockfish.
Only in the last few years was the voluntary model officially abandoned, with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency imposing a mandatory pollution diet on the states.
The EPAs action represents the biggest progress weve made in the last decade...goes far beyond what (EPA) has done anywhere else, said Roy Hoagland, a longtime top official of the Bay Foundation, now a private consultant.
It will be critical to further strengthen the EPAs hand, as local governments and states bridle at the costs of meeting water quality obligations, and as the Republican leadership in Congress vows to weaken the agency.
Accountability: Much positive has happened in the last decade or so a science-based annual report card on the health of the bay and tributaries from the University of Maryland; better defined goals for everything from oysters to open space; and the inclusion of air pollution as a significant impact on the bay.
Agriculture, a leading source of bay pollution, is becoming more accountable, though this remains a work in progress; a lesson not wholly learned.
Stormwater regulations have taken a leap forward, although the inspection and enforcement that will make them work lag badly.
Management of growth, Hoagland said, continues to be our most miserable failure...we have yet to find the political will to control sprawl development.
All six states in the bay watershed are now part of the restoration effort.
Leadership: Politics at the national level are even more partisan on the environment than it was during the 1990s and even then environmentalists spent too much time playing defense when they needed progress.
Republican leadership is abysmal, environmentally. Democrats are better, but no longer pushed by Republicans to hold the line or improve. At state levels, Maryland, Virginia and Pennsylvania have shifted back and forth among Democrat and Republican governors; and it was a Republican in Maryland, Robert Ehrlich, who gets credit for funding major sewage treatment upgrades.
A conclusion I made in 2003 rings even truer now: The environmental community needs to rethink how to build a consensus for the bay that reaches well beyond its own members. The environmental focus remains too narrow, too vulnerable to unfounded charges that it kills jobs and serves only an elite.
As we go to press (in 1991) our optimism is tempered by an all too predictable reaction to a faltering economy, Baker wrote. And in 2012 we still hear that the bay must wait until the economy heals.
Money: We have spent billions on the bay and need to spend more billions. But money, Hoagland stated, has not been the bottleneck stopping more progress.
He suggested it might become the bottleneck as we confront ever more expense with sewage and stormwater retrofits, where we are into areas of diminishing returns for our dollar.
We must look harder at removing taxpayer subsidies for growth and other activities that cost society money to offset their polluting effects, and also include the real costs of pollution in the prices we pay for doing business.
Marylands Genuine Progress Indicator, a pilot program that subtracts environmental costs from economic growth, is a start on this.
Good Science: Science has led to better blue crab management; the use of cover crops to cut farm runoff; showed how development harms stream health, and led to (slowly) regulating manure to control phosphorus runoff.
But the EPA still lacks a coherent national policy on nitrogen, the bays main pollutant. Federal subsidies for ethanol from corn increase nitrogen runoff, and dont reduce energy use. Nor is farm runoff elsewhere under federal scrutiny like here. Our agriculture needs a level playing field.
Defining Real Progress: We need the guts to make fundamental changes, Baker wrote in 2003. In 2012, most progress still relies on tweaking technologies like sewage treatment, smokestack emissions and stormwater retention devices all good, but avoid questions about limits to growth, or to diets that could reduce agricultural pollution dramatically.
Lessons learned? Schools not over yet.

Ortiz said that before his last at-bat on Sunday, Magadan
showed me something that we both agreed on. That's why that guy was throwing 88 and throwing a fastball by me. I was wondering why because I was hitting the ball good. ... It doesn't matter how hard the pitcher is throwing. If you're late, you're late. We've been working on that and like I said, I'm very mechanical. If I don't have everything going the way I normally do, I get in trouble easily.Late last week, Magadan noticed that
Ortiz has been cocking his hands into a hitting position too late, the same problem that has crept up on Ortiz when struggles surfaced in the past ... Magadan showed Ortiz two pictures, one from last year during a hot streak and one from this year. In the first, Ortiz had his hands back, ready to swing, while the ball was halfway to the plate. In the second picture, Ortiz was in an identical position, but the pitch had nearly reached the plate.Flo:
When I'm swinging the bat good, I hit to left field naturally, without even thinking about it. And when I'm slumping like I have been and I start hitting the ball to left field, it tells me it's coming aroundBoth his double and triple yesterday were to left field.
Michael Silverman, Herald:
Jed Lowrie will have surgery on his troublesome left wrist this morning, the first step in a procedure that should have him back with the Red Sox by the end of June.Julio Lugo is now in Pawtucket for the start of his rehab assignment. The Sox will likely be doubly cautious with Lugo, since Nick Green has been solid in the field and has a decent .321 OBP.
Lowrie was examined by Phoenix-based Dr. Donald Sheridan. The wrist specialist recommended Lowrie have a procedure to scope the wrist and remove the ulnar styloid.
Lowrie said he was given a timetable of 6-8 weeks to be back on a major league field.
"It's the best news I could have received that gave me a timeline, fingers crossed, I'll be back in 6-8 weeks. The bone is going to be taken out and not cause me any more pain," said Lowrie by phone from Phoenix. "(Dr. Sheridan) didn't find anything new, but he says the injury wouldn't have gotten better without surgery. I would have been able to rehab it again and then it probably would have relapsed again, he was pretty sure.
Justin Masterson simply wants to pitch:
Just give me the ball ... I don't care when it is. ... I'm hoping Dice K gets back as quick as he can. I don't know when I'm pitching next or what's going on. I'm fine with that. ...Terry Francona:
I wanted to keep the intensity I had coming in from the bullpen when it seemed my velocity kind of elevated, and really just keep that intensity coming into my start.
Masterson went out and not only threw the ball well early, he maintained it, which is not that easy to do. The life on his fastball and the depth on his breaking ball were tremendous from start to end. He did a great job.Tito Explains It All: On the just-completed four-game sweep of the Orioles and current five-game winning streak (longest streak since last May):
That's why you don't panic the first two weeks of the season. ... We say it every year, but it happens. Everything gets blown out of proportion and you just try to play good baseball because at some point in the season, when you start logging enough at-bats and innings, you get into the grind. And if you're good, it shows.***
Fidrych Follow-up: A comment from JohnnyTwisto in a B-Ref "Stat of the Day" post:
Here's one: Fidrych has the 2nd most complete games (24) of any first-year pitcher in the live ball era (since 1920). #1 is Dave Ferriss, with 26 in 1945. Ferriss wasn't just a creation of weakened war ball, because in '46 he was just as good, going 25-6, 3.25, and another 26 CG. But he faded after that, only 19 more wins the rest of his career. Arm trouble, I suppose.Wikipedia cites "arm troubles and asthma"; asthma also led to his early discharge from the military.

NEW forum structure!!! (PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING!!!)
Friends, in terms of convenience the structure of RNR forum was updated. We created several different sections with most popular topics. Pay attention, that all messages, posted in the wrong section or thread will be moved to appropriate one or deleted (in case of double posting).
Please, before posting anything, use "search", maybe your question was already asked.
READ THIS BEFORE You POST.
The search bar is a great place to look up topics please don't make your own threads to ones that have been answerd 5 million times
I'm not trying to be a ***** but I click on 5 topics all on the same thing.
USATrucker is an admin so he knows better than me how annoying new threads are. Where they have been answerd already
Last edited by USA Trucker; 08-07-2010 at 12:55 AM. Reason: Edited for content.
Kennyb87 posted this thread for an obvious reason, yet some of you still arbitrarily create new threads where they already exist, and have been discussed. Your laziness to search the forum, or even looking at the STICKIES before posting simply amazes me! This is not a hard concept to understand in any language. If I can relocate your post to the proper thread, then you can find it also. ANY FURTHER DUPLICATES WILL BE DELETED!
Also do not post "SPOILERS", and any reference thereof ANYWHERE but where they should be. This includes Story-Line, and Mission Questions, Cheats, Easter-Eggs, Etc. Along with this, if you are complaining about a bug, or something not running right, please give a listing of your computer specs. I must have asked this question a hundred times, and maybe 75%+ of the problem lies here. This will help us better to answer your questions correctly.

I agree with Kennyb87 and USA_Trucker, users on this forums need to stop complaining about the same thing on 10 different post, it really gets old and annoying, this is one of the reasons why i had posted my "Im tired of this!" Thread.
Hopefully they will read this topic and stop being lazy to use the search button :/
I too agree with this the think the best way to deal with problems like this is start handing out infractions such as warnings and such (I.E person gets an X amount of infractions mods/admins can hand out punishments that are needed) i know alot of forums that does this and it has cut down the duplicated postings. if you dont know how to use The search bar well learn how to......
I was trying to avoid that, and hoped people would listen to reason. It looks like I may have to resort to this. So you all have been warned!

Video: What to look for in portable GPS
Don't settle for a basic, run-of-the-mill portable navigation device. Watch this video for a quick overview of the best and newest features in portable navigation.
Video Transcript
Portable GPS navigation for your car is a great way to not only get directions to where you're going, but to enhance your journey in many ways you might not have thought of. And we're going to take a look at some of those ways in this video. But first, let me go over some common features found in most portable navigators.
The primary function of these travel tools is point-to-point navigation, so they all come preloaded with detailed maps and a database of points of interest. A point of interest is anywhere you might want to stop along a journey such as a restaurant, hotel, gas station, or even an ATM. Navigators sort these points of interest by category and they include address and phone number information for each one where available.
Once a portable navigator determines where you are and where you want to go, it will establish a route and give you visual and spoken directions. All you have to do is follow along. Text-to-speech voice prompts help a great deal by saying actual street names at each upcoming maneuver so you'll be sure you're on the right path. You'll hear something like "Turn right on Main St" instead of "Take the next right" which can come in very handy if you're in an unfamiliar area.
When you get beyond these basic features you'll find a lot of handy extras that differentiate the various models. Built-in Bluetooth® is one important feature that some navigators offer. Bluetooth lets you use your compatible cell phone hands-free through the navigator's touch screen. In many cases you can access your phone book right through the navigator instead of fumbling around for your cell phone. The best thing about having Bluetooth is that you can call ahead to make reservations or find out how long the wait is at a restaurant.
Traffic updates come in handy when you're driving in the city and they're now offered in most metropolitan areas — but you will need a special receiver typically to get these updates.
Other handy features found in some navigators include 3D building graphics and junction view. These features give you an improved view of your surroundings instead of the typical flat, two dimensional graphics. These views usually only work in urban areas where you'll find distinctive buildings and complicated intersections. Lane guidance helps you stay on track by showing you which lane you should be in for upcoming turns.
Now let me tell you about a feature that is currently available only on a handful of navigators. It's called "connected GPS" and it allows your navigator to work as a portable search engine so you can find any type of destination you want to from the road.
Here we have the Garmin Nuvi 1690 and the TomTom XL 340 S LIVE, both of which feature connected capabilities. With your subscription to their respective services you can access Local Search powered by Google, which lets you plug in any search term you want to get instant results making it much easier to find what you're looking for rather than scrolling through endless menu screens to find that one special spot. This feature requires a monthly subscription but both companies offer a free trial period so you can check it out before subscribing.
Connected services do more than give you search capabilities. They can also provide live traffic reports in your area, weather forecasts, and local gas prices. You can also look up movie times and events listings in your local area to find out what's going on in town tonight.
As you can see, connected GPS can make your travels easier and more fun than the basic portable navigator can. And with the extra features we mentioned earlier, like Bluetooth and improved graphics, you'll find that even the most routine commute can take on a whole new life as you discover new ways to explore your surroundings. So be sure to check out portable navigators that go beyond the run of the mill feature set.

Let us explore the IS-A relationship.
A Driver IS-A Person
(Meaning the Driver class extends the Person class)
A Cat IS-A(n) Animal
A Square IS-A Shape
Extending a class means providing some specific functionality in the new class.
This IS-A relationship between classes is called inheritance.
Not every person is a driver. The Driver class denotes a specific category of people who have a valid driving license.
A driver can do whatever a person can do but the opposite is not true.
In Object-Oriented Programming it can be said that:
A Driver object can do whatever a Person object can do. IT CAN ALSO DO ADDITIONAL THINGS (read driving). A Driver is-a-kind-of Person.
Read the first statement again. We see that both drivers and persons are treated as objects in OOP programming.
In Java, everything is an object (except primitives)
The Driver class extends the Person class which in turn extends the Object class (predefined in Java). So a Person (and therefore a Driver) IS-A(n) Object.
Each class can extend only one class in Java. There are several hierarchies of classes but there is a single class at the root of each and every hierarchy which is the Object class.
This finishes the discussion of singly-rooted hierarchy in Java.

- "He had a lot to learn."
- ―Tagline
Special Needs Cop is a 1992 film, and sequel to the 1986 film Exploder: Evacuator Part II. It stars Jack Howitzer and is advertised in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas on the WCTR radio station. The trailer of the movie can be heard on Entertaining America. It's a continuation of the Evacuator Trilogy. The film could not be rated.
Following up where the last film left off, Tim the mentally unstable war veteran is still in Cambodia fighting. He's once again approached and recruited by the US Government, this time to work undercover teaching a special needs pre-school for mentally and physically disabled children, to eliminate a drug cartel inside the school. Tim eventually grows to like the children until they begin to mock his own intelligence (or lack thereof), prompting him to shoot and kill the entire class with his bazooka.
"It's over, Tim! The war is over!"
"IT'S NEVER OVER!!" - Unnamed soldier and Tim
"We're here, Tim."
"A pre-school for slow children?"
"You're the new teacher, Tim" - Unnamed soldier and Tim
"One of you 'tards has been running Peruvian flake through the special ed school, and i'm gonna find it. No juice and cookies!"
"You really suck, Tim!" - Tim and special ed student
"Aw. You gone and shot yourself, way to go!" - Tim in response to special ed student shooting himself with Tim's gun
"Tim, you're so stupid. You count with your fingers"
"You wanna party with me?! Bring it on!!" - Special ed student and Tim
"Tim!! What are you doing?!!"
"I fought for my country!! WELCOME TO THE LAND OF FREEDOM, BITCHES!!! - Unnamed soldier and Tim
- The film is a large departure from parodying Sylvester Stallone's Rambo Trilogy, instead mostly parodying the Arnold Schwarzenegger film Kindergarten Cop. But story similar to The Substitute.
- Unlike the first two films, the film does not bear the Evacuator title, though it is still considered part of the trilogy.
- At around the same time of the film's release, The Discharger: Evacuator III was also released. In The Discharger, he role of Tim was portrayed by an unspecified African American rather than by Howitzer. Despite being part of the Evacuator franchise, The Discharger isn't considered to be part of its trilogy as it does not follow the same canon.
- This was subsequently Jack Howitzer's last known film.
