Woman accused of faking abduction to get day off
Police say a woman has admitted faking her own kidnapping because she wanted a day off work and a little attention.
Officers found Sheila Bailey Eubank, 48, bound with rope in her vehicle in a field near Ray Ellison Boulevard and Brook Valley on Oct. 10.
She told officers a man jumped into her vehicle at a Security Service Federal Credit Union ATM near Loop 1604 and Bandera Road.
There, she said, the man forced her at knifepoint to drive around the city for what appeared to be drug deals. She said the man then bound her and left her in the field.
Detectives discovered a lottery ticket in Eubank's purse that had been bought near where she was found, during the time she supposedly was being held, police said.
Surveillance footage at the store where the ticket was bought showed Eubank appearing healthy, unhurried and pleasant with a clerk as she made the purchase, police said.
Footage at the credit union showed Eubank withdrawing money, but there was no sign anyone else was with her.
Police said that after she was shown footage of the lottery ticket purchase, Eubanks admitted making up the story, saying "she simply wanted a day off from work and wanted attention."
Eubank was arrested Wednesday and charged with aggravated perjury, a third-degree felony. Bail was set at $10,000.

I have found that many people are unaware how to use fastboot, which if you have ever owned an HTC phone or something from the Nexus line you know how important it can be.
About a year ago I got sick of answering questions about fastboot so I made a guide, but it was device specific. Not too bad but I was constantly giving the links to it for other phones... of course more questions just popped up.
So here i am making a comprehensive yet easy to follow (I hope) guide on how to set up and use fastboot. I will cover the basics for Windows and Liunx (sorry Apple users, just cant stand the product/company)
I plan to make a series of guides for XDA-University Thus far there is this guide and:
[Guide] How To Create Recovery Flashable .zips / update.zips
First a short explanation:
Fastboot, like ADB, is a tool to communicate from PC to Android phone. There are times when it is a must to use, and times when it is just helpful.
ADB is used within your recovery or within your OS, but when you are in bootloader mode and need to communicate with your phone then you need fastboot.
And you may ask why would i ever need this?
Well many reasons. Main one is knowledge, learning the ins and outs of fastboot, like learning ADB, can get you out of many jams.
And if you want to unlock your bootloader this is done through fastboot. Granted HTC's unlock is... well crap, but for a Nexus this is how its done.
One other reason I have to stress is learning for safety reasons, This is about the safest way possible to flash firmware to your phone (ie Radio, Hboot, Recovery)
Lastly you may want to know the limitations,
There are many of course, this isnt JTAG, it will not resurrect a hard brick, but it often save peoples phones from 'soft bricks' and lots of time when know how and when to use it.
Think of fastboot as the program that takes over when ADB cant be used, it works with firmware more than software.
So where do i get fastboot? There are a few ways but most often I would recommend getting it from the Android SDK as it is will be up to date.
or you can use THIS HANDY TOOL created by @shimp208
Then i will go over useful commands.
*Just a note, This guide is to always be considered under construction as I plan to continue to make additions such as more commands and pictures
I will continue to attempt to clarifiy when needed and add what I have missed. I have yet to drop any project or guide I have made on XDA and will help where I can
As always I encourage questions I may miss something or be vague, it is best to understand fully then not ask.

text: New year, new you! Raw Food Diet Free provides healthy raw food recipes to help you detox and live a healthier, more organic life. ------------------------------ "Amazing Recipes!!! - I've recently become infatuated with the benefits of a raw food diet and have downloaded tons of apps in the past. Raw food, vegan, vegetarian, healthy cooking, etc. NONE of them have recipes like these!! The pictures are beautiful and incredibly inspiring!! - Ashley Dondero "Great and simple to read - Great range of meal ideas!" - Sacha Meriaud "Great app - The app delivers what it promises and that is tons of raw recipes. It is easy and fun to use this app." - Christian Betty "I really love this app!" - LaTasha Royal "Great - I am actually a Paleo diet enthusiast, but I cant deny that there are a lot of good tasty looking recipes here that are healthy by most likely anyones ideals." - Dean Nobb ------------------------------ The raw food diet is a derivative of most vegan and vegetarian diets, and it is based on the belief that the most healthy food for the body is uncooked. Although most meals are eaten raw, heating food is acceptable as long as the temperature stays below 40 °C (104 °F) to 46 °C (115 °F). Cooking is thought to denature the enzymes naturally present in food. According to raw foodists, enyzymes are the life force of a food, helping us to digest food and absorb nutrients. If we consume too much cooked food, our bodies are forced to work harder by producing more enzymes. Over time, a lack of enzymes from food is thought to lead to digestive problems, nutrition deficiency, accelerated aging, and weight gain. Cooking food can also diminish its nutritional value. For example, the cancer-fighting compounds in broccoli, sulforaphanes, are greatly reduced when broccoli is cooked. Certain vitamins, such as vitamin C and folate, are destroyed by heat. Cooking also promotes the formation of potentially harmful compounds in food during high heat cooking, such as advanced glycation end products and heterocyclic amines. A raw food plan is by nature low in fat, and this cookbook is a free and easy way to get your started on leveraging the power found in eating these super foods. - Features an elegant and intuitive interface - A brilliant introduction to raw food dieting - Recipes for all meal types including: breakfast, lunch, dinner, snack - Star your favorites for easy reference - Filter menu to sort - Search feature to quickly find your favorite recipe Download the Raw Food Diet FREE app and eat healthier today!

South African Jewish Museum 88 Hatfield Street, Cape Town, South Africa http://www.sajewishmuseum.co.za
I went to the South African Jewish Museum in Cape Town with high hopes of seeing how South African Jews uniquely approached the fine arts and Jewish ritual objects. Lions—as the symbol of Judah and later Israel in general—can be found in Jewish art throughout the ages and across the globe, of course. But I wondered if the Jews of Cape Town, Durban, Johannesburg, and Port Elizabeth incorporated other native animals into their art. I had visions of Zebras holding up Chanukah lamps, giraffes on Kiddush cups, and elephants on Havdalah spice boxes. I wondered to what extent South African Jewish artists looked to traditional African art and design for inspiration, and whether they drew upon symbols and styles from their Eastern European, primarily Lithuanian, heritage. At very least, I expected to learn a great deal more about William Kentridge, a Johannesburg-born Jewish painter with an international reputation.
Not only was I surprised not to find bead-encrusted mezuzahs and cheetah-patterned challahcovers, but I saw virtually no art at all. And the few works I saw had little or nothing to do with South Africa. Several glass cases with ritual objects in the first room didn't even identify where and when they were created, and with the exception of one menorah, they all resembled ritual objects one could see in a Jewish museum anywhere in the world.
The menorah in question (image one), which had no identifying wall text, features at least three animals. On the pinnacle, supported by some sort of pedestal that could be a hand, jug, or flame, is some kind of deer. Judging from the antlers, the deer is more of the North American rather than African Kudu variety. Lower down on the menorah, two forms jut out, which could be crocodiles or merely geometric embellishments. But the central part of the menorah is the most interesting. Two animal forms stand on their hind legs leaning against an open portal. The blessing recited over lighting the Chanukah candles—"… to light the candle of Chanukah"—is inscribed on the two animals and above the portal they flank.
The animals are peculiar in shape and thus difficult to interpret. It's clear that they have tails and ears, and they don't appear to be lions, since they are mane-less. Depending upon which angle one inspects them from, they could be elephants, rhinoceroses, leopards, or wolves. And the zigzag patterns on the animals, as well as the eye-like forms don't help either, as the same patterns appear on the "crocodiles" and throughout the rest of the menorah.
If the symbolism on the menorah is ambiguous, the scene represented on a cup that the Jewish community of Cape Town presented to Benjamin Norden in 1857 is quite clear, although it's a surprising mythological choice. Norden, who founded South Africa's first Hebrew congregation, Tikvath Yisrael, was given the cup in honor of his return to England. A lion stands atop the large ceremonial cup, while a bearded man carrying a trident is depicted on the side of the cup. The figure—surely Neptune or Poseidon—stands in a chariot drawn by four horses in the water, as two angels blow trumpets (probably not shofrot). Berries and leaves adorn various other parts of the cup.
Whether the cup was originally created for a non-Jewish patron and later adapted as a gift for Benjamin Norden, or whether it was created specifically for the occasion, the choice of a pagan symbol, rather than a Biblical or rabbinic one, to mark the celebration of a Jew's career in South Africa is noteworthy.
Other interesting aspects of the museum's collection include references to Jewish involvement in the ostrich feather trade (see image three) and apartheid. "In my experience," Nelson Mandela wrote in his autobiography, in a quote that is printed in a prominent wall text, "I have found Jews to be more broad-minded than most whites on issues of race and politics, perhaps because they themselves have historically been victims of prejudice."

announced yesterday that it is closing the Shining Rock Wilderness and Graveyard Fields areas to overnight camping due to ongoing bear encounters with humans.
The areas will be closed to dispersed camping until further notice. The agency will monitor conditions to determine when it is safe to reopen the areas.
On Monday night, a bear damaged a tent and food bag. Two people were in the tent at the time of the encounter, but no injuries were sustained. The encounter is the latest in a series of bear encounters in recent weeks.
Questions regarding the camping closure can be directed to the Pisgah Ranger District, 828-877-3265.

Saw this on EDSBS (via Da Wiz). It's apparently from a guy who's trying to visit all 119 D-1 college football stadiums before he turns 30. This is what he found in Cincinnati...
Orson said it best: College students+open gates+snow=penis shapes.
And hey, at least they split the uprights, so to speak.
P.S. Is it just me...or is that a third testicle? Uh, something you want to tell us, Cinci?

Transit System Safety
The goal of FTA's Safety and Security Program is to achieve the highest practical level of safety and security for all modes of transit. In order to protect passengers, employees, revenues, and property, all transit systems are encouraged to develop and implement a proactive system safety program plan. FTA supports these efforts by developing guidelines and best practices, providing training and by performing system safety analyses and reviews.
This guidebook was prepared with the objective of providing resource information for transit agencies and the FTA regarding the development and implementation of Safety Management Systems (SMS) and Safety Performance Measurement Systems (SPMS). SMS offer the most promising means of preventing public transportation accidents by integrating safety into all aspects of a transit system's activities, from planning to design to construction to operations to maintenance.
FTA has recently issued Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) for its Safety and Security Management Plan (SSMP). An SSMP is a required document that must be prepared by applicants and recipients of FTA funds for major capital projects. The SSMP is part of the Project Management Plan (PMP) and is written to describe how the recipient will address safety and security in the major capital project.

Miksang Monday
miksang:- Tibetan for 'good eye', based on the teachings of Chogyam Trungpa, and an approach to photography that relies on fresh perception which is unhampered by pre-conceived ideas
Every Monday I'll post an image in the spirit of miksang. I say 'in the spirit of' as I haven't trained with any of the Miksang organisations and I'm interpreting the term quite loosely. But here it is – a hopefully fresh perception of something quite ordinary, every week.

Hi ZThe sounds are really Guitar 1 + Bass! BUt , as you said, there's something more: the sound is added with some little more resonance ( on the original you COULDN'T modify the presets with the synth controls, you only could act through the performance controls ) so try to add a little more resonance with the overall Res lever.Also it's much about HOW you play these sounds: you will notice that there's a slow pitch mod made by the sub-osc which is underlined with aftertouch action and the brilliance is controlled by velocity....think also that Vangelis is a very skilled performer so he knew how to give feeling to each played note; with the help of his reverbs and delays of course :wink:
of course Vangelis is a champion, and a CS80 specialist, by the way I don't know why Arturia didn't ask some sounds from him, imagine, a Vangelis bank on CS80V, I would stay at home even if weather is sunny
Yeah, what is that polyaftertouch keyboard??? I have never heard of such thing. Is this the same as regular key sensitive keyboard with the aftertouch capacity? Does "polyaftertouch" means that you can have the aftertouch assigned to each key? :? I usually use my Alesis QS8 as a main MIDI controller. It has 88 regular piano keys with aftertouch. This thing feels like a regular keyboard of a grand piano. That's why I have bought it.So, if there is a special "polyaftertouch" keyboard please let me know. I might be interested to get one (if someone still makes it). :wink: PSB
....there are rumors that Mario Maggi, the maker of Elka Synthex has developed a new analog device which may feature a polyaftertouch keyboard...in the while a new expressive ribbon controller with zero relative center has been developed at SKNote and is about to be introduced in the upcoming Musikmesse .
Take a look at the discussion found here:http://tinylink.com/?kUfAdz8rUmIt appears that the Prophet T-8's polyphonic aftertouch affects only its internal voices and does not transmit Poly AT via MIDI OUT, though it does respond to incoming Poly AT. Please correct me, if anyone knows otherwise.
I keep having these strange thoughts any one know why? xx(xx(

You know that song that is always playing during your vacations? Well, I had that on NYC too. There are 3 songs that remind me of this trip!
1º Edge of Glory | Lady Gaga
The first song that I heard in NYC in Gaga's concert
2º Rolling in the Deep | Adele
Always playing in every store I entered, was the hit during that 2 weeks and the radio stations loved it!
3º Firework | Katy Perry
I dedicate this one to my friend that was an amazing host! He knows why! LOL. While walking around in NY, we kept singing this song, it gets stuck in your head somehow… :)

Why Documents 2.0 for iOS is a big event?
Because now you can work completely offline, manage data in graphs and diagrams, and collaborate right from the app.
Let us quickly go through what Documents app for iOS offered before:
- Text document and spreadsheet editors, presentation and PDF viewers;
- Minimalistic toolbar that contains all necessary editing tools including paragraph and text formatting, charts, tables, autoshapes and more;
- Document management features for online and local documents, with sharing options;
- Export and printing from the app;
- 4 supported languages: English, German, Russian and Spanish.
What's new in version 2.0:
Offline work. Version 2.0 has an autonomous mode which requires no portal logging in. Users can create and edit documents when 100% offline, storing them in device memory.
Collaboration. Another very big and important innovation is co-editing that finally appeared in the app. When connected to the portal user can open a document from the app while it is already opened by someone else on another device and co-edit in real time. This may rescue those who need to participate but doesn't have a computer close by.
Data in diagrams and graphs. Now data used for creating your charts can be edited within the mobile app and not only viewed. That adds to the remote creation of business documents.
Boosted performance. The app was completely rewritten from scratch: we revised the architecture of document management platform and built the basis for growing app functionality. Without any interface interruptions, it is much faster and smoother to run.
If you don't have ONLYOFFICE Documents yet, get it now for free: https://itunes.apple.com/app/onlyoffice ... 96972?mt=8
If you already have it, do not hesitate to install the latest update!
Detailed instructions on how to use ONLYOFFICE Documents mobile application can be found here:

The Bipolar Disorder is a condition characterized by significant shifts in mood and energy that range from highs of mania to the lows of depression.
It is a scary condition that can destroy your whole life. And there is no cure for it but it can be kept under control and you can have a normal life if you follow a treatment plan.
There are certain myths that are dangerous for people with the bipolar disorder because they can lead to discrimination or isolation. And this can make things worse for them.
Many times people think depression and bipolar disorder are the same. They are wrong. Both depression and bipolar disorder are mood disorders but they are different. Bipolar disorder includes depressive episodes but they are combined with manic episodes in an alternating cycle. So, Depression and Bipolar Disorder are two different mood disorders.
A Nice Video About Bipolar Disorder
Also people tend to think mania is safer than depression. During a manic phase, people with bipolar disorder often experience high levels of energy and sometimes they even feel happy. But the euphoria of these manic episodes can lead to poor decisions such as impulsive spending, racing thoughts, sexual indiscretion, aggressive behavior, trouble concentrating or alcohol and drug abuse. The manic episodes are not safer than the depressive episodes at all.
But if you experience mood swings between feeling sad and happy it does not necessarily indicate bipolar disorder. This is normal for almost everyone. The difference between bipolar disorder and normal mood swings is the severity of the mood swings. The symptoms of bipolar disorder are more severe. Anyway, mood swings also occur frequently during pregnancy and people with ADHD also experience mood swings.
If you recognize any signs of bipolar disorder you should have a specialist assistance of a neurologist for treatment and deeper understanding. With proper treatment you can live a fulfilling, productive life.
Both children and adults can be bipolar. But diagnosing children may be harder because their symptoms are different and doctors may find it difficult to distinguish between ADHD, bipolar disorder or traumatic stress disorder.
There is a common belief that if someone in your family has the bipolar disorder you will definitely have the symptoms too. This is not true. Genes have an important role in this disorder but there other factors involved as well. Studies of identical twins revealed that even when one twin is affected by bipolar disorder, the other may not be.
But maybe the worst myth of all is that that people with bipolar disorder are dangerous. Actually if they are diagnosed and treated they rarely are a danger to others. Studies show that they are actually more likely to be victims of violence than perpetrators.
Many people with depression and bipolar disorder suffer from drug abuse or alcoholism as they tend to resort to drugs and alcohol to numb the painful symptoms. But alcohol and drugs are doing nothing good to someone diagnosed with bipolar disorder. They just make things worse.
The most important thing to do when diagnosed with bipolar disorder is to have a specialist assistance of a neurologist for treatment and deeper understanding. You should learn as much as you can about your disorder and follow a medication plan.

Steve Jobs' hand-chosen design guru has long been called an innovator and a genius but today he can officially call himself a "sir."
Jony Ive was knighted by the Queen of England Wednesday in a ceremony in London. The man behind the iconic design of the iPhone, iPad, iPod and the MacBook was recognized for his contributions to design and his representation of the British empire.
The ceremony was technically carried out by Princess Anne Louise, the daughter of Elizabeth II, but the queen chooses who the honor is bestowed upon.
Ive was born in Essex, England but has lived in San Francisco for years.
Sir Jonathan's work spearheaded the rebirth of Apple when he partnered with Jobs upon his return to the Cupertino-based company.
Ive's minimalist design has been copied, celebrated and honored with museum exhibits across the globe.
Andy While the title is mostly honorary, there are plenty of rules and conditions that come along with the distinction.
Ive's fellow Brit, Tim Worstall, has a lengthy explanation on the conditions of knighthood at Forbes. You can see a video of the ceremony below.
Congratulations Sir Jony.

"American Idol" finalist and newlywed Crystal Bowersox's debut album will hit shelves before Christmas, her record label announced on Wednesday.
"Farmer's Daughter," which drops Dec. 14, features 10 of 12 tracks written or co-written by Bowersox, Jive Records announced.
"After finishing up the 2010 American Idol Live Tour, Bowersox headed to New Jersey to begin production on her eagerly awaited debut," Jive said in a press release, UPI reported.
The album boasts a cover of Buffalo Springfield's "For What It's Worth," a song written by former "Idol" judge Kara DioGioGuardi and Nickelback's Chad Kroeger, and "Mason," which Bowersox co-wrote with hubby/musician Brian Walker.
U.S. & World
The pair reportedly performed the song at their Oct. 9 wedding in Chicago, following their weeks-long engagement.
On Wednesday, Bowersox tweeted a photo of her new album cover, which shows the singer seated next to a pitbull she said belonged to the owner of the property where the photoshoot took place.
"The dog's name was Angel," she wrote. "She jumped up there with me and we were just chillin'."

John Deasy hasn't even worked a full year as the Los Angeles Unified School District's Superintendent and he's already facing a tough test.
Deasy, and the entirety of LAUSD face ramifications from a state budget that could fall short as much as $4 billion.
One of the problems Deasy faces is no knowing exactly how much will be cut from his budget. He said most projections over the past few months have missed "fairly substantially, the projections on revenues" and therefore he and his staff are planning a budget reduction plan in the middle of the year.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
Given the uncertainty of the budget situation, cutting back on school days may be the only option.
"We don't want to cut, but if you tell us the problem before we can plan for it," said Deasy.
Because the law doesn't allow for firing staff in the middle of the year, if there is a mid-year cut to the LAUSD's budget, Deasly said taking away days would probably be best solution.
"We are going to have to work with labor to shorten the year more, which is ridiculous," Deasy said of his options. "The majority of students who get the privilege of coming to LAUSD live in circumstances of poverty, and when they come to school they have meals. No school, no meals. Of course the loss of education as well. It's not a desirable solution, but it's probably the only one we have."

In a recent Zero Punctuation review, Yahtzee couldn't declare which blockbuster game "about super-powered assholes" was better, but would give the honor to the studio that best drew the rival game's protagonist in drag.
Astoundingly and to their everlasting credit, both Radical and Sucker Punch participated. First up, Radical sent in two submissions, but that monstrosity takes the cake - Cole McGrath with Vegas showgirl peacock tail, a Marilyn Monroe birthmark and ... oh God are his pubes showing? NEXT.
Here's your winner: Alex Mercer, who shapeshifted up some heaving bosoms thanks to Sucker Punch, in a tableau that "could be the cover of a romance novel." Per Yahtzee's award citation:
It's a close call, but I'm going to declare Sucker Punch the winner by one lovingly-rendered pair of breasts. Also their unicorn is a much prouder, mightier steed, and Alex's expression is delightfully coquettish. Therefore InFamous must be the better game. Buy InFamous. Prototype's still good, though. Buy it as well.

FORT BRAGG, N.C. (AP) — An Army general who admitted to inappropriate relationships with three soldiers who had served under his command pleaded guilty Monday to lesser charges as prosecutors dropped the most serious — sexual assault counts — as part of a deal.
The hearing at Fort Bragg caps the high-profile prosecution of Brig. Gen. Jeffrey Sinclair. It comes as the military continues to grapple with revelations of sex crimes in its ranks and political pressure to address the issue. A sentencing hearing for Sinclair — believed to be the highest-ranking U.S. military officer to face court-martial on sexual assault charges — was expected to begin after a two-hour recess.
Sinclair pleaded to the lesser charges in exchange for the Army dropping sexual assault charges and two other counts that might have required him to register as a sex offender. A military judge accepted his guilty pleas.
Sinclair, 51, had been accused of twice forcing a female captain under his command to perform oral sex during a three-year extramarital affair. The Associated Press does not generally identify alleged victims of sexual assault.
Defense attorney Richard Scheff said Monday that Sinclair is admitting to his mistakes, but added that the general is pleading guilty to behavior that likely wouldn't be criminal in the civilian world.
Scheff said he expected Sinclair to "to retire at a reduced rank and go home to his family." Scheff said he understands that the military needs to take a harder line against sexual assault but that there must be a balance: "It doesn't mean every complaint that's brought should go forward."
The Army's case against Sinclair started to crumble as questions arose about whether his primary accuser had lied in a pre-trial hearing. It was further thrown into jeopardy last week when Judge Col. James Pohl said the military may have improperly pressed ahead with the trial to send a message about its determination to curb rape and other widespread misconduct. Under the military code of justice, the decision was supposed to be decided solely on the evidence, not its broader political implications.
Ultimately, the judge will give Sinclair a sentence that can't exceed terms in the agreement struck between defense lawyers and military attorneys. The legal agreement is likely to require a punishment far less severe than the maximum penalties of 15 years in prison and dismissal from the Army.
Sinclair may face additional administrative penalties from the Army, which could force him to retire at reduced rank. That could cost Sinclair hundreds of thousands of dollars in pension benefits.
Sinclair's new plea agreement was approved and signed over the weekend by a high-ranking general overseeing the case, according to a copy provided by the defense team.
The married 27-year Army veteran pleaded guilty earlier this month to having improper relationships with three subordinate officers, including the female captain who accused him of assault. He also pleaded guilty to adultery, which is a crime in the military.
Under the plea deal reached over the weekend, Sinclair also admits to abusing a government credit card he used while traveling to visit his mistress.
Prosecutors did not comment on the deal or the case before Monday's hearing.

The UMBC men's lacrosse team (3-5) opens its tenth season of America East Conference play on Sat., March 30 when they travel to West Hartford, Conn. to take on the Hartford Hawks (3-4). The Retrievers are seeking to earn their tenth berth in the postseason America East Tournament and their fourth league title. The contest vs. the Hawks faces off at 2:00 p.m.
UMBC just won its second of three consecutive home games in an eight-day stretch with a 10-8 victory over Mount St. Mary's on March 23. UMBC got a pair of goals from its close defenders, including the game-winner by senior Ethan Murphy in the late stages of the game. Sophomore netminder Wes DiRito made 11 saves as UMBC held the Mount three goals below its season average.
FOR OPENERS: UMBC is 6-3 in previous America East Conference openers. The Retrievers snapped a two-game slide in the wake of the 2012 victory vs. Hartford. The Retrievers are 2-2 when opening an America East season on the road.
BEASTS OF AMERICA EAST: UMBC is 36-11 (.766) in nine years of America East competition and 20-4 (.833) at UMBC Stadium. UMBC has never lost back-to-back regular season contests in league play. In 2012, the Retrievers (3-2 AEC) posted a winning league record and earned a spot in the four-team America East Conference Championships for the ninth consecutive year.
A LOOK AT THE OPPONENT: Hartford put up a good fight, but it was unable to take down the University of Massachusetts as the Minutemen scored a pair of late goals to come out of Al-Marzook Field at Alumni Stadium with an 13-11 triumph on March 23. Hartford, which rode a three-game win streak into the evening, dips to 3-4 on the season. Freshman midfielder Jack Bobzien tallied five points, a team-high, on one goal and four assists. Bobzien (5g, 20a) was named America East Conference Rookie of the Week and has 20 assists through seven games, including 12 in his last three outings. Junior attackman Andrew Cacchio leads the Hawks with 12 goals scored. Five of Hartford's seven games have been decided by three goals or less and UH is 3-2 in those contests.
ALL-TIME SERIES: UMBC leads the series, 6-4, and snapped a six-game slide to the Hawks with a 16-12 victory at UMBC Stadium in 2012. The Retrievers have dropped three consecutive games at Al-Marzook Field. Hartford has averaged 12.0 goals per game vs. UMBC in the last five meetings after the Retrievers averaged 15.6 goals per game in the first five meetings.
THE LAST TIME WE MET: Joe Lustgarten smashed a career highs with five goals and eight total points, leading host UMBC to a 16-12 victory over Hartford in the America East Conference opener for both squads on March 31, 2012. Junior attackman Scott Jones added four goals and an assist for UMBC, while sophomore attackman Matt Gregoire added three goals in his first start of the campaign. The Retrievers led 5-0 after 15 minutes and 8-2 at halftime. The Hawks got as close as 14-11 early in the fourth quarter before a Gregoire goal halted the momentum.
UP NEXT: UMBC returns to UMBC Stadium for its league home opener vs. Vermont on Saturday, April 7.

LA Galaxy 4, Philadelphia Union 1 | MLS Match Recap
CARSON, Calif. – Landon Donovan made history in his return to the LA Galaxy, pushing past Jeff Cunningham to take sole possession of Major League Soccer's career goalscoring record in an emphatic 4-0 romp over the visiting Philadelphia Union.
Donovan went ahead of Cunningham in the 49th minute Sunday at StubHub Center, a simple finish on a pass from Robbie Keane on a counterattack, for his 135th career regular-season goal. He scored another in the 81st minute and departed to a standing ovation a minute later.
It was his first two goals of the season and arrived just two days after USMNT head coach Jurgen Klinsmann controversially omitted the 32-yard-old star – the national team's all-time goals and assists leader – from the final World Cup roster. Donovan had pulled even with Cunningham last October.
Leonardo, from a Donovan free kick, and Robbie Keane also tallied for the Galaxy (4-3-3), who posted back-to-back victories for the second time this season.
Maurice Edu, also among those trimmed from Klinsmann's 30-man preliminary World Cup roster, scored for Philadelphia (2-7-5), converting an 88th-minute penalty kick after Raul Mendiola fouled Zach Pfeffer.
The Union lost their second in a row and fifth in the last six games. They have won just once in their last dozen outings.
With Donovan back, the Galaxy made three changes from their victory Wednesday over FC Dallas. Donovan stepped in next to Keane up top, and Baggio Husidic returned to midfield, with Stefan Ishizaki going to the bench, as LA stuck with a flat 4-4-2 for the second straight game. Leonardo returned to the backline, partnering Tommy Meyer in the middle, with Kofi Opare returning to the bench.
Philadelphia had Edu back, and that's not all. Brian Carroll returned to midfield from injury and Fabinho to the backline from suspension. Amobi Okugo, who started in midfield in last weekend's loss to New England, was back in central defense, partnered by Sheanon Williams. Antoine Hoppenot got his first start at forward.
Midfielder Cristian Maidana was serving a suspension after picking up a red card against the Revolution, and injuries this week sidelined defender Austin Berry (sprained left ankle) and forward Sebastien Le Toux (lower back strain).
Donovan made an impact right at the start, delivering a 40-yard free kick from the right flank that Leonardo – back on the field after sitting on the bench the last two games following surgery on a broken finger – nodded past Union goalkeeper Zac MacMath after finding space behind Okugo at the six-yard box.
Donovan tallied on a counterattack, feeding Keane on the right channel, then sprinting toward the left post for the return pass. The Irishman delivered after he got into the box, and the finish was easy.
Keane nearly netted one in he 61st, taking advantage after a Williams giveaway to nutmeg MacMath. He nearly scored again three minutes later, but his shot rolled just past the left post.
Donovan made it 4-0 in the 81st, following another give-and-go with Keane.
The Union remain in Southern California for a Saturday game against Chivas USA, then are home June 7 against Vancouver before MLS takes a two-week World Cup break. The Galaxy play at Chicago next Sunday and head into the break following a June 8 SuperClasico against Chivas USA.

William Randolph Hearst created his San Simeon castle by importing the best of Europe's ancient architecture and having Julia Morgan find ways to incorporate it. Today, Nice Price or Crack Pipe has a Ford Sierra that would make Hearst proud.
The '80s gave us many awesome cars (as well as Bar Refaeli, grrrr), but few cars were more awesome than the rally contenders from the big gun manufacturers. BMW spawned the beloved E30 M3, Mercedes the 190E 16V, and Ford - who at the time found their European racing efforts flagging - partnered with their long-time BFF Cosworth to build the Sierra RS Cosworth.
The standard Sierra had been as radical a replacement of the long-lived Cortina as would be - a few years later - the Taurus in supplanting the LTD. Jelly bean-shaped and initially hatch-back only, the cars' unique appearance was backed up by decent performance, comfort and utility. It was only a matter of time that the popular line received a hot, and then hotter version to help keep sales lively. The RS Cosworth was intended to compete in Group A racing, for which 5,000 cars needed to be homologated for street use - lucky street users. The 204-bhp YBB motor is based on the T88 'pinto' block, but with a Cosworth-designed twin-cam head and Garrett turbocharger with intercooler. The body is based on the two-door Sierra hatchback, although Cosworth's contract demand that Ford buy 15,000 motors meant a later 4-door version was also made available.
This 1985 Sierra Cosworth RS is a bit of an enigma. Offered by New England Classics, it's claimed to be street legal in the states. As the Sierra Cossie was never intended to be sold here, and the sight of the pitbull under the hood would likely drive DOT inspectors into seizures, there had to be an end-run in order to accomplish this feat. That was done through the use of a stock Merkur XR4Ti as a base and registration title, and then stripping one of the 5,545 cars in Europe for its Cosworthiness and applying all that to the Merkur. That means you should be able to register it anywhere you don't need to have a visual inspection.
What that extreme Merkur-over has accomplished is both the visual punch of the RS, including the vented hood, industrial mesh grille and a whale tail that would make Kim Kardashian proud. Gone are the Merkur's tradmark vinyl cladding, triple sidelights and bi-plane spoiler. And those changes are all for the better, although, like many an '80s survivor, the wheels look kinda' dinky.
Underhood things don't look dinky, but the four cylinder with the techno-script on the cam cover is only 2-litres. The seller notes that there's only about 1,000 miles on the freshly rebuilt YBB, and theorizes that its 24-28 lb(!) of boost gives it 375-bhp or more. The real Sierra Cossies came with the Mustang's T5 cogger, however, those transmissions were built on a special line, incorporating up-rated hardware to withstand the engine's brutal power delivery. The T-5 in this car is claimed rebuilt, and only time and gear whine will tell if the box is equally as sturdy. The rest of the chassis is said to have been renewed and updated so the European Sierra 170-mph speedo's odometer reading not having any relation to the car's actual mileage is probably irrelevant.
The rest of the interior won't shock anyone who has spent any amount of time in an XR4Ti, and looks a little ratty in comparison to the new coat of black (this car's best color) on the outside.
If you have a cute girlfriend, who sorta looks like Angelina Jolie, you could possibly talk her into getting some plastic surgery, having her hair dyed, maybe getting a boob job, and in the end, she might look even more like Jennifer Aniston's arch rival. But that wouldn't make her Jolie, and that certainly won't make you Brad Pitt. That's kind of how this car comes across, and, like a Cobra kit car, no matter how nicely done it is, you're still a poseur.
Still, this is unique and interesting, and it appears to have been well crafted, if the ad and pictures are to be believed. If you present it for what it is, in the manner that this seller has, there's no reason to not to enjoy wringing the bat shit out of it, and it'd sure make a lot of people put on their Moe face and say whaaaa?.
But what about that price? At $25,000 it's more kidney pie than kidney auction, and there's no way you'd be able to replicate this for anywhere near that cost, even with craptacular Merkurs going for about $500 a piece these days. For full disclosure, it should be noted that this car was offered by the same dealer in 2007 for five grand less.
So, what's this Cosworth to you? Does that $25,000 for a faux Ford make you say sierra madre dios!? Or, does that price make this an RS-ted development?
You decide!
New England Classics, yea-uh. Or go here if the ad disappears.

Pennsylvania/Speed limit mapraid
|Pennsylvania Speed Limit Mapraid 2016 ended on 14 Mar 2016 00:00:00 UTC. Please check back here for results and check the Mapraid Forum for mapraid announcements.
The Pennsylvania Speed Limit Mapraid will be 29 Feb through 14 March 2016. The participants will be divided into several groups, one for each section of the map. Each group will have both local and senior editors, one of which will be the "Group leader" - listed in blue below. Please direct all questions to your group leaders. The raid hosts will be available across all areas for added support.
Our goals are:
- Put correct speed limits on segments in Pennsylvania, with emphasis on the connecting roads
- Use realistic elevations where roads cross (so-called seagull edits).
- Adjust segment locks, as appropriate, to meet the new Northeast locking standards.
Please also make basic common-sense edits as you work on the mapraid goals -- fix bad turns and other obviously wrong information on the segments you are editing, but keep focused on the mapraid goals. If you see bigger problems that can be addressed later, contact your group leader or record it in this form.

Important / Mapraid guidelines
Speed Limit Guidelines
Use Waze Street View to find Speed Limit Signs. You may also get information from local drivers. You may use information from local ordinances posted on township, borough, or city websites. Do not rely on predicted speeds (with "verified" check box).
Please set your WME preferences to imperial and enter speed limits in miles per hour.
Pennsylvania follows the US guideline for speed limits, with a few exceptions listed below.
|More about Traffic Signs
Pennsylvania guidelines
- If there is no SV, do not map SL. (No SV => No SL)
- Unless you have information from someone who has recently driven on the street, or from local ordinances listing speed limits.
- When a speed limit changes at an intersection, the sign for the new speed zone mighte be up to 200 feet after the intersection. If the speed limit changes more than 200 feet from the intersection, add a junction at the sign and make the speed limit change there.
- Long term work zone speed limits may be mapped instead of the "ordinary time" speed limits.
- Speed limit signs are supposed to be posted on every street, no further than 1/2 mile apart.
- If there is SV, and SV shows there are no signs, follow the PA guidelines for streets with no signs:
- 35 miles per hour in any urban district.
- 25 miles per hour in a residence district (unless it is a numbered route classified as a local highway)
- 55 miles per hour in other locations.
- Do not guess. If there is no SV, and if there is no information from local drivers, we cannot know if there are signs or no signs.
Summary of National Guidelines
- Only map speeds found on regulatory white rectangular signs with black lettering.
- Do not map advisory speed limits (generally an orange or amber rectangular sign with black lettering).
- Where there are variable speed limits, map only the speed limit which is in effect most of the time during daylight hours (most hours of the day, days of the week).
- Do not map special speed limits for special vehicles. Waze only supports speed limits for private passenger cars.
- Where the speed limit changes, make it change in the map. A new junction may need to be added. But do not add a new junction for a speed limit if it will be within 200 feet of an existing junction.
Elevation Guidelines
Elevations should be mapped more-or-less realistically. Elevation numbers are relative. An overpass has a higher elevation than the road it passes over.
- If a seagull can fly right under it, it's a bridge (level greater than 0).
- A road is only level = +2 if there's another bridge (+1) running underneath it.
- If it is underground and covered over, check the tunnel checkbox. The road segment must begin at least 50 feet before GPS signal is lost, and continue at least 50 feet after GPS signal is recovered.
- If you see tunnels with negative (-1) elevations, leave them. If you create a new tunnel, set the lowest level to ground and set all crossing roads above that.
- For every other case the road is ground level (level = Ground), even if it's artificially elevated or dug under street level.
- At interchanges, where there is already a nearby junction, it will often not be necessary to use "tight" marking for an elevation change on the overpass. Use the existing junctions if at all reasonable.
Road Segment Lock Guidelines
When you edit any segment during the mapraid, please set the lock level correctly.
Any road of a certain segment type must be locked at least to the rank (level) in the chart below. Roads may be locked higher for protection and special situations (areas with construction, tricky design, frequent mistakes, incorrect images, etc.).
|Segment Type
|Highest rank of connected segments
|Major Highway
|Minor Highway
|Primary Street
|1 (Auto)
|1 (Auto)
|Private Road
|1 (Auto)
|• • • • Ferry • • • •
||-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-| Railroad |-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|
Note: Do Not Mass Edit just to update locks to these standards
Base Map Areas
There are still many areas in Pennsylvania which have not been touched by editors since the "base map" was imported in 2009. Only touch these areas if it is necessary to reach the objectives of this mapraid. If no information is available for setting Speed Limits, and no elevation adjustments are required, do not fix these parts of the map. These areas will be addressed at a later time.
- Before setting speed limits on a segment, set the road direction correctly and correct all turns and other obviously incorrect information.
- If roads are very bad and very difficult to fix, you may report the problem to a group leader.
Edit Quality and Mass Editing
You are responsible for every edit you make, whether you make it by hand or use a script. Every edit you make should meet the goals of this mapraid AND make a noticeable improvement to the map. Do not make edits simply to gain points without improving the map. If a segment is "good enough" for the waze map, do not edit it.
If it looks like you are making unnecessary edits or hunting for points, you may be banned from this mapraid and from future mapraids. In addition, Waze will throttle your edits and points if you use scripts excessively.
We use micro-doglegs to control turn- vs. stay/keep/exit instructions. Zoom in very close to see the closely-spaced geometry nodes. Preserve them.
Update Requests (URs)
Some editors have made URs about speed limits they have seen on the road. These all contain the string "mph". If you can find these URs, you can use them to help you set the correct speed limit on that segment.
Other types of URs are not a focus of this mapraid. If you spot a big problem which should be addressed, please let a group leader know.
Road Types, Names, and Functional Classification (FC)
Road type classification is not a focus of this mapraid. It has been addressed in many areas of Pennsylvania. If you see an easily-fixable problem on the segments you are editing for speed limit and elevation, please fix it. If you find a large problem with road type, let a group leder know.
Road Names are not a focus of this map raid. If you see an easily-fixable problem on the segments you are already editing, please fix it. If you see any large problems with road naming, please let a group leader know.
Places are not a focus of this mapraid. If you see obviously incorrect places that will cause incorrect routing, please feel free to fix it. Otherwise, please feel free to ignore places.
Issues to Address after the MapRaid
Any major issues that need to be address will be followed up by local editors after the MapRaid conclusion. Issues such as city name merging, large scale naming (primary or alt), etc, will be handled after the fact. Remember, the concentration is speed limits, lock levels, and elevations.
Any issues that require future follow up should be entered on this form.

As the tradition goes in America, and for a lot of local residents the holidays are a chance to spend time with friends and relatives. Religious and seasonal rituals and celebrations serve as moments of light during the winter, when the sun sets early and the nights are dark and long.
But a group of middle school students from Mt. Airy's Waldorf School of Philadelphia's after-school chamber music program experienced a different kind of holiday one evening in December at Shriners Hospital for Children in North Philadelphia.
Seven students and one helper, along with their orchestra teacher, Eliza Cho, walked through Shriners' halls and performed holiday music — five violins, one cello and one viola — for bedridden children and their families on Sunday night, Dec. 19, to spread holiday joy through stringed harmonies. And with some cakes and refreshments.
"There was definitely something challenging in it," said sixth-grader Bruno Schiffman, 12, during a conversation the Local had with a few students and Miss Cho at the school this month. "At first the young patients were pretty quiet … It seemed like they did appreciate the music."
The young musicians played songs requested by the patients and their families like Harry Connick Jr.'s "When My Heart Finds Christmas" and the song "Believe" from "The Polar Express." And the traditional "Jingle Bells" and "Silent Night."
"It was good especially because it was around the holidays," said Mariah Lehmkuhl, 13, an eighth-grader. "They aren't as fortunate as us, and some of them could not go home for Christmas. It was good to let them know someone cares."
"At first, we were saying, 'How are we going to present this?'" said seventh-grader Chloe Hannah-Drullard, also 13. "It felt kind of guilty.'"
"I think sometimes it's hard because you don't want to seem like you're saying, 'Hey, I'm a kid like you, and look what I can do,'" said Cho, 31, a second-year teacher at Waldorf who performs with the Pennsylvania Ballet and Sarasota Opera in Florida.
"Essentially, what we were trying to say, without saying it in words, is that even though there are all these festivities going on outside, you are not forgotten," said Cho, who organized the night through a number of emails with hospital staff.
"It was nice to be able to play music for them and make them happy," said Sam Rogers-Petro, 14, an eighth-grader.
One of the patients, who used to play the violin himself, was in isolation and no one could enter his room. Instead, the students played for him from the hallway. "It was kind of tear-jerking," said Hannah-Drullard.
"I could really the feel the level of gratitude and appreciation from the patients' parents, the staff members and the patients themselves," said eighth-grader Oliver Mitchell-Boyask.
"I have a really great canvas of students to work with here," said Cho, who was raised in Chicago and attended the DePaul University School of Music. "They are really musical and easy to work with. I could never get kids I worked with in other schools [in New York City] to volunteer just to do it."
The Waldorf School of Philadelphia, located at 7500 Germantown Ave., was founded in 1996. According to its Web site, its students experience education through a curriculum that provides the complete range of subjects taught in most American schools but with the inclusion of foreign language, music, orchestra, movement, handwork, woodwork and performing arts. It is one of 900 Waldorf schools around the world, founded more than 100 years ago in Europe. Faculty members seek to educate their students using the educational philosophy and curriculum of Rudolf Steiner in a contemporary context.
According to Wikipedia, Steiner was an Austrian philosopher and the founder of anthroposophy, a discipline that attempts to clarify spiritual experiences using the scientific method. His educational principles emphasize the role of imagination in intellectual development in both the creative and analytical elements.
Other participating students not already mentioned included Ben Rogers-Petro, Alex Rittler and Roman Fiorella, who helped the musicians carry their equipment. "I had never really been to a hospital before," said Lehmkuhl. "But to see kids there my age, I realize I am really lucky."

Lengbach (Wienerwald, Niederösterreich, Austria)
Lengbach, Austria, is located in the Wienerwald. The first mention of Lengbach appears in an apology of the government councilors to an accusation made by the king, dated 4 March 1528, which says that they were holding several Anabaptists in Lengbach, awaiting instructions from the king on what was to be done with them. Persecution in Moravia was bringing many Anabaptists to Lower Austria, where the marshal Dietrich von Hartitsch was hunting them down. It was, however, not the marshal but the clerk of Neulengbach, the knight Blasius Notlitsch (died 1547; his tombstone is still near the altar of St. Sebastian in the Ansbach church) who succeeded in capturing them. On 3 June 1528 he reported to the government that with the aid of Gryss, master of the hunt, he had brought to Lengbach 33 newly baptized persons, who had been living for three weeks in the forest "on a high mountain"--16 men and 17 girls and women. Most of them were very young; only four were past 40. There was among them a furrier who had assumed the priestly role of baptizing. As much as he had been able to understand "in haste," none would desist from his error. In conclusion the knight requested, "Since other people draw a salary for annihilating and crushing the new sect," he should also be rewarded.
The king decided that the cost must be borne by the magistracy, but the prisoners must be turned over to Hartitsch, who soon afterward executed 18 men and women. Although the court records are silent on this point, there must have been other Anabaptists here, for the chronicles list 45 executions in Lengbach, of a total of 105 for all of Lower Austria, Vienna included.

West Pike Run Township police chief not guilty of animal cruelty
Washington Area Humane Society says Michael Hardesty's dog was underweight
West Pike Run Police Chief Michael Hardesty was found not guilty of animal cruelty charges by District Judge Larry Hopkins at a summary trial on Tuesday morning.
"He had been suspended without pay from his employment as chief of police, and it's his intention now to take a look at getting reinstated," defense attorney Ray Amatangelo said.
Last month, Washington Area Humane Society manager Kelly Backo said a 1 1/2-year-old female Rottweiler named Etalia was underfed and about 25 pounds underweight. She called it "a life or death situation" for the dog, which she said was malnourished and weighed only 58 pounds.
After a tip that Etalia was being kept for too many hours of the day in the basement of a Scenery Hill home, a dog officer went there and found the animal living in what he called its own filth and took it away for treatment.
"I was surprised that the owner is a police chief," Backo said at the time. "He should know what the Pennsylvania dog law is and how to maintain and properly care for your animal."
Hardesty denied the cruelty charges and said the dog was underweight because it had recently run away for several days. He pointed to his male Rottweiler -- which clearly appeared healthy -- as proof that he is a responsible dog owner.

Carl Stubbs, center, the principal of Valley View Elementary School in Pleasant Grove, Utah, looks on with other teachers during concealed-weapons training on Thursday.
Kasey Hansen, a special education teacher from Salt Lake City, Utah, says she would take a bullet for any of her students, but if faced with a gunman threatening her class, she would rather be able to shoot back.
On Thursday, she was one of 200 Utah teachers who flocked to an indoor sports arena for free instruction in the handling of firearms by gun activists who say armed educators might have a chance of thwarting deadly shooting rampages in their schools.
The event was organized by the Utah Shooting Sports Council in response to the mass shooting in Newtown, Conn., this month that killed 20 children and six staff members at Sandy Hook Elementary School.
The council said it has typically attracted about 16 teachers each year to its concealed-carry training courses. But Thursday's event near Salt Lake City, organized especially for educators in the aftermath of Newtown, drew interest from hundreds, and the class was capped at 200 because of space limitations.
"I feel like I would take a bullet for any student in the school district," Hansen, who teaches in a Salt Lake City school district, told Reuters after the training session.

"If we should ever face a shooter like the one in Connecticut, I'm fully prepared to respond with my firearm," she said, adding that she planned to buy a weapon soon and take it to work.
The Newtown massacre reignited a national debate over gun safety. President Barack Obama signaled his support for reinstating a national ban on assault-style rifles and urged Congress to act. The National Rifle Association has called for posting armed guards at schools and rejected new gun-control measures.
After school massacre, parents' divide deepens on gun control
The National Education Association and a number of school officials criticized the NRA's stance, but it got a warmer reception in some parts of the West, where hunting and guns are prevalent.
Utah is among a handful of states that allow people with concealed-carry licenses to take their weapons onto school property, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures.
A gun shop in Oregon is offering free firearms training to teachers and school staff. KNDU's Tracci Dial reports.
In Arizona, Attorney General Tom Horne on Wednesday jumped into the debate over school security with a proposal to allow any school to train and arm its principal or another staff member.
The plan, which was backed by at least three sheriffs, would require approval by the legislature and the state's Republican governor, Jan Brewer.
Clark Aposhian, head of the Utah Shooting Sports Council and a certified firearms instructor, organized the event on Thursday to provide teachers with permits to allow them to carry concealed handguns in the classroom. He waived the usual $50 fee for the course.
NRA chief: If putting armed police in schools is crazy, 'then call me crazy'
"I genuinely felt depressed at how helpless those teachers were and those children were in Newtown," Aposhian said. "It doesn't have to be that way."
After a controversial press conference last week, NRA head Wayne LaPierre made an appearance on NBC's "Meet the Press" saying the American people would be "crazy" to not put armed guards in schools. Meanwhile, Newtown, Conn., continues coping with the death of 26 people during the tragic shooting. NBC's Ron Mott report.
Utah teacher Kerrie Anderson was not about to participate. She is a choir and math instructor at a junior high school near Salt Lake City and said her family is "pro-gun" and uses firearms for sports such as target shooting. But she balks at the notion of carrying a weapon into her classroom.
Guns flood into police buyback programs, though critics have doubts about the idea
"How would I keep that gun safe?" she said. "I wouldn't carry (it) on my person while teaching, where a disgruntled student could overpower me and take it. And if I have it secured in my office, it might not be a viable form of protection."
Gun-control activists have decried moves to arm teachers and said efforts at curbing gun violence in schools should be tied to tightening firearms laws.
PhotoBlog: Buyback in Los Angeles brings in hundreds of guns
"We think it makes a lot more sense to prevent a school shooter from getting the gun in the first place," said Kristen Rand, legislative director for the Violence Policy Center in Washington, D.C.
The shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary ranks as the second most deadly school shooting in U.S. history. Police say Adam Lanza, 20, killed his mother before going to the school, where he committed the massacre and shot himself to death.

What's not to love about San Francisco based, California-made Westward Leaning sunglasses? First, there's the one-size-flatters-all Wayfarer shape and the cool-star crowd (Kate Bosworth, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley) who wear them. But what really makes the eyewear brand an it-label is its charitable spirit! Each style pays homage to an important social movement in history and donates proceeds to an affiliated charity.
That tiny square on the side of the frame's arm references the charity the shades benefit. For example, the beaded version (which I'm also seen wearing) called "Love Thy Neighbor" gives proceeds to a foundation of the same name. This pair is supposed to celebrate the cultural contributions of Mexican immigrants in America and (with its donation) help end the drug wars and violence in Mexico.
"Orange Revolution," an new style, comes in three different shade varieties. Named for the 2004 uprising in Ukraine, proceeds go to education programs in the country.

Do cable networks, like CNN, MSNBC, Lifetime, etc., have to switch to digital broadcasting too?
No. The current requirement to switch from analog to digital only applies to full-power broadcast TV stations, which use public airwaves to provide free over-the-air programming.
However, as cable providers convert to digital transmissions over their systems, you may need to subscribe to their digital tier to continue to receive non-broadcast programming.
Can my cable system move programming to a digital tier that makes me subscribe to digital service?
Your cable system decides when and whether to carry programming on a digital tier, which may mean that you will need digital equipment. However, all of your local stations will continue to be available in analog format for as long as your cable system offers any analog service.
