Teen who pushed her friend off a 60ft bridge could be jailed for a year after reckless endangerment charge
The charge of reckless endangerment is considered in US law to be a gross misdemeanor that could land the person in prison for a year and a maximum fine of $5,000
The 18-year-old girl who pushed her friend off a 60ft bridge in Washington state, which left the teen with multiple injuries, has been formally charged with one count of reckless endangerment. The prosecutors filed the charge on August 17 with a declaration from the arresting officer showing probable cause.
One part of the statement said: "It is clear that Taylor Smith engaged in conduct which created a substantial risk of death and resulted in serious physical injury to Jordan Holgerson." The charge of reckless endangerment is a gross misdemeanor that could land the person in prison for a year and a maximum fine of $5,000.
Smith told ABC News in an interview: "I accept the charges maturely and all I can do is hope for the best for Jordan and myself." Smith pushed 16-year-old Holgerson off a bridge over the Lewis River at Moulton Falls Regional Park close to Vancouver, Washington, on August 7. The teen fell the equivalent of three stories before she belly-flopped into the river below. Officials said that she suffered "significant injuries" that included six broken ribs, a punctured lung, and air bubbles in her chest.
The horrific incident was caught on a cell phone camera and went viral on social media after it was uploaded. The user who put it up has since removed it. There is also surveillance footage of the moment that Smith pushed Holgerson off the ledge of the bridge.
According to the complaint that was filed in the Clark County District Court, Holgerson told the authorities later that Smith had been the one who pushed her off the bridge and that it was uncalled for. Smith has admitted to pushing her friend off the ledge, but told police that she did it to help Holgerson get over her fear and did not intend to hurt her.
On August 17, Smith sat down with ABC News's "Good Morning America" for an interview and said that she did not think of the consequences of her actions before she pushed her friend off the bridge. She told GMA co-anchor Michael Strahan: "She wanted to jump and she was scared and she had asked me to give her a push, and I didn't think about the consequences. I thought she would be fine."
Holgerson spoke to KATU, an affiliate of ABC Portland, Oregon, from her hospital bed and recalled the sequence of events that led up to her being pushed and she admitted that she had initially wanted to jump after she saw a friend doing it earlier. She said in the August 9 interview: "I went to the top of the bridge and my other –- my friend ... she came up to the bridge with me. And so, she was counting down but I didn’t think anything of it. And I was like, 'No, don’t count down, like, I won’t go if you countdown. I’m not ready.' And then she pushed me."
Holgerson told the news channel that she did not feel any pain at the time after adrenaline immediately kicked in when she hit the water. She said: "And then an EMT that was off-duty helped me on to the rocks and just a whole bunch of people surrounding me were helping me, calming me down. I am happy to be OK."
Smith told GMA in her interview on August 17 that she reached out to Holgerson immediately after the incident and "apologized several times". She said that she had even tried to visit her friend in the hospital where she was being treated but that she was "asked to leave". The 18-year-old told the channel that Holgerson has stopped communicating with her ever since the incident.
She also said that the two of them had been "pretty close" for years before the incident. During the interview, Smith said: "I love that girl. I never intended to hurt her ever, nor would I intend to hurt anyone. I'm really sorry it turned out that way. I just pray that she heals and gets better."
Investigators from the Clark County Sheriff's Office finished their investigation of the incident earlier in the week and submitted their findings to the prosecutors who then announced the charge of reckless endangerment on the afternoon of August 17.
Smith also told GMA that the possibility of facing charges was "scary" but that she would "accept whatever the prosecutor gives me". She said: "I accept whatever the prosecutors think is best for me, considering I caused not only bodily harm but emotional trauma as well. But I just hope for the best."

Its official – Republicans and Democrats are now tied on the Generic Congressional Ballot for the week ending June 2, 2013.
The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey shows that 40% of Likely U.S. Voters would vote for the Democrat in their district’s congressional race if the election were held today, while another 40% would choose the Republican. Rasmussen’s survey mirrors the last Congressional Ballot survey conducted by Quinnipiac and released on May 30, which was all tied up at 38%.
The last time the two parties were tied was the week before Election Day in early November, but then the Democrats began to shift slightly in the average of polls.
The latest Obama scandals have clearly forced an ideological argument on the national level, and the Democrats have realized eroded support since. Rasmussen reports:
For the last seven weeks, the gap between the two parties has been two points or less. In the previous survey, Democrats led by two points. One week prior to that, Republicans led by one, only the second time since Election Day that the GOP had led on the Generic Ballot. Although Democrats have held a slight advantage most weeks since last November, their support is down from a high of 47% in early December.
I am always reluctant to call out outliers, but the ABC/WaPo poll released on May 23 was clearly an outlier. For those who may contend that the scandals did not factor into the ABC/WaPo poll, which was D+8, comparing the results to reputable pollsters’ findings display a clear disparity that does not supportive that assessment.
Last week, the GOP regained trust on a majority of issues for the first time since Election Day 2012. The economy remains the most important issue to the American voter, but government corruption and ethics has crept up the ladder, and voters also favor the GOP on that issue now as well.

Names Without Numbers is a four-piece rock and roll band from Omaha, NE / Council Bluffs, IA. Since forming in the summer of 2000, they’ve released an EP and a full-length album, toured the midwest, played in venues ranging from basements to festivals, slept on floors, fought…a lot, took a break, started families, came out of retirement, and are now writing and recording songs for an upcoming album. Stylistically, they play a unique blend of indie-rock with plenty of raw emotion and pop-punk energy. Some bands with a comparable style include Jimmy Eat World, Tiny Moving Parts, Moving Mountains, Anberlin, Sparta, Thrice and many others. Don’t miss out on this unique and incredible entertaining new song. “Goodnight” is available on all Digital networks beginning today plus the band is launching their very own IndieGoGo campaign. All contributors to the campaign will receive another track and further reason that this band is one you don’t want to miss out on.

Strike up the band, the gang is back. In 2015 members of the underground CHH label “God Sqwad Records” put together their first group project under the alias of “God Sqwad” titled “The Kingdom is Near”. The project was greeted with much acceptance from the CHH community, being featured on popular websites such as Rapzilla, West Coast Fiyah, New H2O and others as well as making an appearance in Rep The King Magazine. The album touched on many topics including the death rate in Tae Lamar’s (FKA B-Boy For Christ) region of the state; Chicago IL, The everyday pressures that Christian men face in our modern world, The loss of R.E.F.’s father, every day stress, and the walk and life of a believer. News has just broke that Tae Lamar, R.E.F., Geddenon & Elan Brio are back in studio beginning work on the second God Sqwad group album, this time adding new GSR members Jovi Harp – GSR, Nine GSR, Psalm and AT3: Alpha Team Alliance to the group. The album is expected to touch on many personal, social and religious topics much the same as found on “The Kingdom Is Near”.

New singer by the name of “Adelaide” has just released her new single titled “UNFORSAKEN” and it is an uplifting, spiritual awakening set to pop rock music. Adelaide has a strong, commanding voice perfect for this style of music. I know there have been two other artists by the name of “Adelaide” that we have covered since the zine launched in 2005 but this is totally different and quite well done. Recommended for fans of: Evanescence, Fireflight, LEDGER, and Lauren Daigle.
I’d like to take a moment and make an announcement. Indie Vision Music WILL have somewhat of a presence at the famed Audiofeed Festival this summer. I have two bands confirmed to appear (any guesses?). You will find a new IVM Family & Friends “Sampler” (Part 2) at this fest and will be on our band’s merch tables. Continued →

Something I’ve kept under wraps for a few weeks and a piece of news that I am truly excited about. The East Coast band – DENS, have indeed signed with California based record label Facedown Records and will release “No Small Tempest” Ep on June 29th. You can take a listen to the powerful new song titled “Deadrise” below. All you fans of Saosin, Thrice, My Epic, Attalus, and Armor For Sleep, will absolutely adore this new music. Facedown Records taking a chance on the more “rock” oriented bands like My Epic, Everything in Slow Motion, Attalus, and now DENS, is the best move they’ve ever made. I really enjoy their whole roster but the bands above have all made truly remarkable albums. Everyone go like DENS and give this new song a listen. Oh and you can pre-order this Ep in a few different bundle options right here.
A new band called “Gut Punch” have emerged from behind the curtain and are ready to pummel your face off with their furious hardcore energy. Check out their debut song “Finish Line”, below. You can follow them on instagram here: @gutpunchhc This band features (former?) members of Born Blind and No Innocent Victim and reside in the San Diego, CA. region. Who else digs this?
Check out this behind the scenes look at what went into the making of this blistering, in your face hardcore punk record by Chicago band – 2Minute Minor. You can watch the recording sessions video for the album “Blood On Our Front Stoop” that releases next Friday, below. Purchase on Bandcamp here or in their merch store here.

In celebration of the upcoming new music from Nebraska based indie rock/emo band Names Without Numbers, the band has been posting these special “Meet the Band” type videos on their Facebook page. They will do it every week leading up to the May 21st release of the brand new single on IVM and the launch of their IndieGoGo campaign. Check out the video (both of them) below. Make sure to visit them on Facebook here and say hello. This talented group of men known as Names Without Numbers for those that are unfamiliar with their music would most likely earn a fan out of you for those that enjoy bands like Anberlin, House Of Heroes, The Juliana Theory, Jimmy Eat World, and Taking Back Sunday.
Following in the footsteps of solo outings from the greats like Tony Sly, Joey Cape, Tim Armstrong, and Chuck Ragan, comes this new solo ep from punk warrior – Sef Idle. The first official song from the “Someday, Today” Ep has been released and this incredible new track “I Don’t Remember” can be streamed below. The song appears on the “Someday, Today” Ep due out May 8th. Buy it on Tape/CD here and on Bandcamp here.

Talkie, the band comprised of a few former members of the great Blood & Water, has returned with their 2nd full length effort called “Fundamental Things”. Right now for next 48 hours you can download the album for $1 via their bandcamp here. Great production quality and catchy indie-pop songs but I seriously want one more Blood & Water album. It probably won’t happy but whatever I’ll hold out hope ;)
Laura McElroy who is one-half of the songwriting team of Post-Hardcore/Indie band Comrades (Facedown Records), has announced some “solo” dates under her own name. This singer-songwriter has released a couple of demos right here on bandcamp and will hopefully work on a ep or full length at some point (yes please). Catch her at Audiofeed Festival this summer!

‘Press freedom or not, free speech or not, shouldn’t it worry normal Filipinos and DDS alike that government is bending over backwards and ignoring established legal norms to pursue the case against journalists?’
BY the time you read this, it will have been two days since Maria Ressa, CEO and executive editor of Rappler, and Reynaldo Santos, Jr., former Rappler researcher and writer, were both convicted of the crime of libel under R.A. 10175, more infamously known as the Cybercrime Prevention Act.
As expected, crowd reaction has been mixed. On the one hand, people who care for democracy, judicial precedent, and rule of law have decried the court decision as anathema to the Constitutional guarantee of a free press. On the other hand, Duterte Death Squadders (DDS) are rejoicing at what they believe is the justice system working properly.
Mostly because DDS can’t read English, let alone understand a court decision. That would be like expecting a toddler to understand quantum physics.
But I digress.
One consistent counter-argument I see often on social media is that the case against Ressa and Santos is not one of press freedom. The claim is that it is a libel case filed by a private citizen, for an article that contained supposedly unsupported allegations against the person.
So, I’m going to go off tangent here, and try to discuss the decision from this viewpoint.
That’s the game they want to play? I can play that game.
So, let’s get the preliminaries out of the way. Yes, Wilfredo Keng is a private citizen. A businessman, really. And we will limit Keng’s personality to just that. We won’t bring up the fact that one of Keng’s companies, Century Peak Metals Holdings Corp., has a reclamation project with the province of Cavite, or that Keng’s daughter, Ms. Patricia Anne Keng, was appointed as youth sector representative in the Philippine Women’s Commission, a commission attached to the DILG.
Next, yes, libel is not protected speech. The law and jurisprudence is crystal clear on this.
The law is also crystal clear on the prescription period within which to file a complaint for libel, but we’ll get back to that in a bit.
Now, having established that Keng is a private citizen and that libel is a crime, is the case against Ressa and Santos cut-and-dry?
Of course not.
The problems with the theory of the Department of Justice (DOJ), and by extension the court decision that practically adopted that position wholesale, are rather intertwined. So the best place to start is to start with the question: what exactly is “online libel?”
In Disini v. Secretary of Justice (G.R. No. 203335, 11 February 2014), the Supreme Court said:
“Indeed, cyberlibel is actually not a new crime since Article 353, in relation to Article 355 of the penal code, already punishes it. In effect, Section 4(c)(4) above merely affirms that online defamation constitutes ‘similar means’ for committing libel.”So, to be clear: not a new crime, just a “similar means” of committing a crime that already exists under the Revised Penal Code. Which means, all of the existing laws and jurisprudence dealing with libel before the Cybercrime Prevention Act was passed still apply to online libel.
Why is this important?
The DOJ theory hinges on two concepts: first, that the Cybercrime Prevention Act is a special penal law defining separate and distinct crimes, and second, as a necessary consequence, Republic Act No. 3326 – which prescribes a prescription period of 12 years for crimes punishable with imprisonment for 6 years or more – applies to the crimes defined in the Cybercrime Prevention Act – which includes online libel, which is punishable with imprisonment ranging from 4-8 years.
Now that we’ve laid this out, the problem becomes clear. The DOJ has effectively ignored the Supreme Court discourse in Disini, in favor of a position that allowed them to prosecute a case that was as panis as Imelda Marcos’ birthday chicken adobo.
This doesn’t even go into whether the content was actually libelous or not.
Press freedom or not, free speech or not, shouldn’t it worry normal Filipinos and DDS alike that government is bending over backwards and ignoring established legal norms to pursue the case against journalists?
After all, if government is willing to do that to journalists, what more to ordinary Filipinos?

Last week, I attended the 3rd annual ACCO Rising Seas Summit, which brought more than 300 professionals together to highlight the interrelationships between sea level rise, climate change, and extreme events. One topic discussed that is particularly interesting was adaptive migration, which looks at the affects an influx of new residents would have on an outside community if they were forced to relocate due to sea level rise or flooding.
As the shorelines gradually advance inward, there will be an effect on population densities in coastal communities that can easily be overlooked and therefore is unplanned for. Working class families with property in active flood zones will eventually find themselves confronted with storm surge, ongoing flood events, and wind-borne debris that will force them to relocate. As these populations become displaced and need to migrate inland, we can project the neighboring communities who are not directly affected will see a surge in their population numbers.
As those communities grow, we as planners must address if the area can sustain the newcomers. Is there enough available housing? If these are people with vehicles, do we have sufficient parking options or are we investing in better public transportation? Can the sanitary sewer system handle the additional waste? There are countless other examples to consider and we should be planning for the shifting of these cultural boundaries. As with all resilient strategies, we must have a team mentality; we are all in this together.


Can road pricing spread beyond London? Not without a push
TWO years after London introduced one of the most radical road-pricing schemes in the world, other parts of Britain are still hesitating about whether to follow suit. That is not because London's scheme hasn't worked: on most counts, it has been a triumph. Journey times in the central London zone covered by the scheme are down by a third and air pollution has fallen by 12%. Bus usage is up by more than a third, and 80% of the people who pay the £5 charge for entering the zone between 0700 and 1830 say they are happy with the way the scheme is run. Some businesses inside the charging zone do say they have lost trade—although none of those citing this have so far won appeals to have their property taxes reduced.
That, coupled with worsening congestion, should encourage other places to copy London. Of the 35 local authorities which have expressed interest in principle, the one closest to doing anything is Edinburgh, which this week started a postal referendum on introducing a two-tier scheme covering both commuters into the city and traffic in its historic centre. But the city council has mishandled presentation of the plan, in particular over exemptions. Polls suggest that the result, due on February 22nd, will be negative.
Until recently, progress in other parts of the country had stalled. Bristol, which was originally enthusiastic about congestion charging, dropped its plans when the Liberal Democrats took control of the council. Although national party policy supports road pricing, local parties take sharply different views: Edinburgh's Lib Dems have been strong opponents of the scheme there. Plans for a road-pricing scheme in a heavily used bit of the Peak District National Park, in Derbyshire, are on hold, as is a congestion-charging scheme in Cardiff, and a planned workplace parking levy—broadly the same thing—in Nottingham.
Two things are needed to change this, says David Begg of the Commission for Integrated Transport, a government-funded body that promotes public transport and road pricing. The first is a financial incentive from central government. That is coming: the government's newly established Transport Innovation Fund, which aims to encourage local authorities to take politically unpopular decisions, is expected to get £250m a year, rising to £2 billion by 2014. In future, cash for public-transport schemes may be tied to road pricing. A new tram system in Leeds, for example, will get funding only if the council brings in road pricing. Otherwise, says Mr Begg, the improved public transport will have no effect on congestion.
The second is a change in local government. Congestion charging is most likely to work when it is backed by a big local authority, covering all or most of a travel-to-work area, with power over both roads and public transport. That is the case in London, but nowhere else. In big congested cities like Birmingham, for example, the body responsible for public transport has quite different boundaries from the city council. That makes co-ordination difficult. In Edinburgh the city council covers too small an area; neighbouring councils, whose voters think they will lose out if the scheme goes ahead, are threatening legal challenges if the Edinbourgeois say yes.

The government has yet to formulate a plan to cope


One restaurant owner in Sapporo, Japan has come up with the perfect idea for preventing customers from ordering more than they can eat and, thus, cause wastage: by fining them.
The menu of Hachikyo states that all customers ordering the signature dish, rice with salmon roe, and leaving food on the plate will be “asked” for donations in the form of a surcharge, Gawker reports.
In other words, if you plan on taking the all you can eat challenge at this restaurant, you’d best be prepared to eat all that you order or else pay the $20 (€14.9) surcharge.
“According to the explanation in the menu, the working conditions for fishermen are harsh and so dangerous that it's not unknown for lives to be lost,” the menu reportedly reads.
“To show our gratitude and appreciation for the food they provide, it is forbidden to leave even one grain of rice in your bowl. Customers who do not finish their tsukko meshi must give a donation,” it further says.

Disney+ won't be the only streamer with a major superhero TV show. Warner Bros. announced on Thursday afternoon that J.J. Abrams is making a Justice League Dark series for the upcoming HBO Max streaming service. He’ll also be overseeing a spin-off of Stephen King’s The Shining and an original drama about crime in the 1970s Southwest called Duster.
The Justice League Dark series technically does not have a final title yet, but it will focus on characters from the DC superhero universe’s more mystical, supernatural side, like Zatanna, Swamp Thing, and John Constantine. There has been chatter about bringing the team to the screen for years now, as at various points Doug Liman and Guillermo Del Toro were supposed to make a big-screen version. As with everything DC-related these days, it’s unclear what—if any—shared canon the upcoming series will have with the core DC films like Wonder Woman and Birds of Prey.
Overlook, Abrams’s The Shining spin-off, seems like it will have a lot in common with Hulu’s King-inspired anthology series Castle Rock, which Abrams and his production company Bad Robot also had a hand in. Castle Rock’s show runners Dustin Thomason and Scott Brown are moving over to HBO Max to write and produce Overlook, a 10-episode drama about the infamous hotel at the center of King’s 1977 novel and Stanley Kubrick’s 1980 movie. The Hollywood Reporter writes that the series will feature “iconic characters from the horror thriller,” which is intriguing since most of the book’s small cast of characters either die or were ghosts from the beginning. (Please, let there be an episode about the man in the dog costume.)
Finally, there’s Duster, which was Abrams’s original idea that he’s co-writing with The Walking Dead’s LaToya Morgan. The series will follow a getaway driver for a growing crime syndicate.
HBO Max is less than a Quibi away, as the service will launch at some yet-to-be-specified point in May, assuming nothing changes (for coronavirus-related reasons or otherwise.) None of the three just-announced shows will be available at launch, obviously, nor do they have estimated premiere dates at this time. Duster, Overlook, and the Justice League Dark series are the first three shows Warner Bros. has ordered to series from Abrams since the Rise of Skywalker director’s Bad Robot production company made a sweeping five-year deal with the studio.

PORT CLYDE, Maine – The lighthouse that was featured in the movie, “Forrest Gump,” was struck by lightning last week which has caused the popular visitor attraction to go dark in Port Clyde, Main.
The lightning reportedly took out the light and foghorn, the Marshall Point Lighthouse and Museum director, Nat Lyon, said, according to The Associated Press. It also damaged the associated circuitry. Basically, the lighthouse has gone dark.
The lighthouse itself was not damaged but the lightning rod was, according to the AP.
“It fried everything. It fried the light, the circuit breakers, the foghorn,” Lyon said Wednesday, according to the AP. “At this point, we have a lightless lighthouse until the Coast Guard can effect the repairs.”
The lighthouse was established in 1832, according to the AP.
The lighthouse was featured in “Forrest Gump” in 1994 according to the Courier-Gazette. It was featured in the part where Gump (Tom Hanks) finished his cross-country run.
There is no estimate yet when the lighthouse will be operational or even fixed, according to the newspaper. The lightkeeper’s house was reportedly not damaged.
National Lighthouse Day is on Aug. 7 and Lyon said, according to the AP, that it will be open to the public. There will be no light but people can still climb up to the top of the stairs.
More information about the lighthouse can be found on its website.

During halftime of the Florida-Kentucky game, CBS studio analyst Greg Anthony stated the true measure of a team is based on how they play on the road.
Heading into Saturday’s game, Florida had yet to win a significant road matchup this season, perhaps the one blemish on the Gators’ resume.
After going scoreless for the game’s final 7:36, the Gators again came up short on the road, falling to a desperate Wildcats squad, 61-57.
Kentucky showed early signs of its desperation to win, getting off to a quick 4-0 start. Just 48 seconds into the game, Florida coach Billy Donovan called a timeout before the Rupp Arena crowd could even take a seat.
By the 16-minute mark, the Wildcats had pushed their lead to 11-2, promptly putting Florida on upset alert. The Gators had fallen prey to several big road deficits this season, none of which turned out positive for them.
However, Florida would battle back rather quickly on Saturday, tying the game at 11, while holding the Wildcats scoreless for nearly five minutes. Once the game became all-square, the remaining minutes of the first half saw both teams take revolving possession of the lead.
By the end of the first 20 minutes, the game was tied at 31. Florida’s frontcourt took charge in the opening half, as Erik Murphy and Patric Young combined for 17 of the team’s points. Kenny Boynton got off to a hot start as well, pouring in nine points on 4-of-9 shooting.
While the road environments at Arkansas and Missouri proved to be tough, a game at Rupp is an entirely different animal. The Kentucky crowd, as usual, was in the game the whole way, determined to will the Wildcats to a victory.
In the opening of the second half, the ‘Cats again scored four straight points, prompting another Donovan timeout. The Gators would trail by as many as seven points before rallying to take a seven-point lead of their own.
That seven point lead would come at the 7:36-mark, as the Gators led 57-50. With his team reeling, Kentucky’s John Calipari called a timeout.
Despite having a quieted crowd and an opponent backed to the wall, the Gators simply could not capitalize. Florida would be outscored 11-0 to end the game.
Murphy would finish with a game-high 17 points. Boynton would not take a single shot in the second half until the clock read 17 seconds.
Florida still has the No. 1 seed in the SEC Tournament, which starts on March 13th in Nashville.


According to the tire rack, drive tires should last about 18,000 to 40,000 miles (29,000 to 64,000 km), depending on driving style and other factors. this means drivers could get around 11 years out of their car tires according to these tire experts. keep in mind that warranties may vary by brand and manufacturer so be sure to do your research before committing.
overall lifespan is affected by many factors including driving style and conditions while the age will affect how often you need new tires or changes in the model bias factor come into play when manufacturers are introducing new tire designs. the rubber manufacturers association says that regardless of tread life or any other type of warranty issues with your tires it's important for drivers take
how many miles a tire should last?
most tires are designed to last anywhere from 10,000 to 50,000 miles depending on the type of tire.
* some types of tires are designed to last longer than others, so it will depend on what type you purchase and how long your commute is. tires that have a lower tread depth will also typically need to be replaced before higher tread depths because they're not meant for the elements. if you drive only in good weather and take care of your car – then you'll probably get at least 50k out of them without issue! if you live in a region with rain and snow however…you might want to invest in two sets so one can stay dry while the other gets all muddy and salty outside! (*h
how often should tires be replaced?
there are no industry-standard guidelines for changing tires, so it is important to use an answer that reflects the vehicle's tire mileage. as a general rule of thumb, tires need to be replaced after six years of service or 50,000 miles on high-speed driving surfaces. this interval can be decreased to three years or 36,000 miles on low-speed driving surfaces.
the problem with this answer is that there are many variables including terrain condition and driving habits that play into this equation. a better question than “how often should tires be replaced?” would include what type of care the car has received in its lifespan (regular oil changes vs never? regular filters?), how it has been driven (low speed city commute
why do new car tires wear out so fast?
there are a number of factors as to why new car tires wear out so quickly. one is that there is excessive heat from braking, especially if the breaks are ineffective or drivers overuse them. another factor is the use of petroleum-based materials in tire construction which leave old rubber at a faster rate because these types of materials break down faster. a third factor, and this one might sound sacrilegious, may be that people do not properly inflate their tires after purchasing a new set. if buyers don't put enough air into their tires when they buy them, they'll start to go soft with time.”

'Keeping Up with the Kardashians' to be Cancelled as Kim Kardashian is Quitting?
By Sonam Malik | March 20, 2014 9:06 PM EST
"Keeping Up With he Kardashians" is reportedly on its way to cancellation and the person who has been blamed for it is none other than Kim Kardashian.
Television personality Kim Kardashian arrives at the 2014 Elton John AIDS Foundation Oscar Party in West Hollywood, California March 2, 2014.
Apparently, her fiancé Kanye West does not want Kim to be a part of the show, and Scott Disick has said he wants a more private life with Kourtney. People are also not interested to watch Kris Jenner anymore, reports indicate.
"Kanye doesn't want her to be on the show anymore," a source revealed to Star Magazine’s digital edition. "He thinks it's tacky, and she needs to move on now that she's going to be a wife. Plus, Kanye doesn't want the "reality star" brand on him, but instead be seen as a gifted musician again, " HollywoodLife reported.
However, a source close to the Kardashians refuted these rumors and said that the show is not going anywhere.
"Keeping Up with the Kardashians continues to be a successful series and appointment television," the show's press manager at E! revealed, adding, "New episodes of the series will premiere later this year, and the family is signed on to film the 10th season of Keeping Up with the Kardashians following that."
Even Kim took to her official Twitter account to tell her fans that the show is not going to be cancelled.
"Heard a silly rumor that I'm quitting the show! Not true! Can't wait to film season 10 soon! I have the best job being w my fam all day long, "she tweeted.
The family is said to be busy filming more episodes of “Keeping Up with the Kardashians” and West and Kim’s Paris wedding is going to get a special telecast on E! reports said.
"E! plans on airing Kim and Kanye's wedding as a two-part special," an insider told HollywoodLife. "The event is way too important to only broadcast on Keeping Up with the Kardashians."

Brown urged to end 'reckless lending'
30 July 2004
The Liberal Democrat shadow chancellor has been on the offensive again, this time urging Gordon Brown to tackle reckless lending.
His comments follow the announcement by the Bank of England that personal debt has now reached £1 trillion.
Additionally, according to Nationwide, house prices rose by 2.1 per cent in July and have soared by 20 per cent over the last 12 months.
Dr Vince Cable said: "Rising lending by banks and building societies is fuelling the housing boom. Banks are adding fuel to the fire by setting aggressive sales targets to employees."
He added: "Home owners are walking an economic tightrope. Today the Bank of England announced that we were £1 trillion in debt and 80 per cent of this debt is secured on dwellings. Yet, the IMF and others have warned that house prices may be seriously overvalued."
"If interest rates continue to rise, as they are expected to, or house prices fall a number of homeowners could find themselves in enormous difficulty," continued Dr Cable.
He concluded by attempting to motivate the government to act now: "It is high time the government took action to protect ordinary homeowners against irresponsible lending."

Our mission at ROSS is given to us by our customers every day. Our employee owners are at the HEART of manufacturing, solving problems from concept to completion with a knack for invention. In this way, ROSS adds VALUE to businesses by building SUPERIOR mixing and process solutions for great products worldwide. We foster RELATIONSHIPS through world-class customer SERVICE. Striving to be the world LEADER in Mixing & Blending Technology, we not only imagine possibilities-we CREATE them.
Two young brothers, John, a baker and Charles, a mechanic, become partners in two businesses, side by side in a small building in Rochester, New York. The Ross brothers operate a bakery and build grain mills. They prosper for 20 years until the Civil War divides the brothers. Years later, Charles returns to the shop. John lays buried on a hillside in Virginia.
To eliminate the cost of shipping French burrstones from New York harbor to Rochester, Charles moves his company to Brooklyn. He has great success building stone mills and soon after, the enterprise starts offering various other types of milling machinery.
ROSS introduces the first models of Three Roll Mills, offering them to the paint and ink industry. These roller mills provided some advantages over the stone mill including increased production and easier cleaning. The early factory in Brooklyn begins manufacturing mixing machinery for paints, inks and chocolate pastes.
As the national economy expands, the milling and mixing business grows rapidly. Charles Ross builds a larger plant in Brooklyn.
Charles G. Ross
On January 18, 1900, the company is incorporated under the name
Charles Ross & Son Company, with both Charles Ross and his
son Charles G. Ross as stockholders. In April that year, Charles
Ross dies, and his son assumes the position of president.
Charles G. Ross moves the factory to another part of Brooklyn which was fast becoming a paint center in those days. ROSS designs and builds mills for nearby thriving paint companies. The chemical and pharmaceutical also become extensive markets for mills and mixers. Stimulated by the growing automobile industry, producers of lubricants and greases purchase ROSS stone mills. The better facilities of the new plant allow Charles Ross & Son Company to serve the growing demand and gather enough momentum to carry them through the 1903 recession and 1907 banking crisis.
Through World War I, the firm is especially active due to government orders for mixers and processing machines used in making smokeless gun powder. Inspired by the technological advances at this time, constant improvement and research lead to various redesigns and increased efficiency of ROSS machines. Machine tools enable greater precision and speed. Fixtures, jigs and dies of increasing complexity and variety expedite the manufacturing process and pave the way to improved standardization.
The phenomenal expansion of the chemical industry presents a rapidly growing market for ROSS mills and mixers which are steadily becoming recognized by businesses as high quality machines and great investments. The company enlarges its plant and workforce. Soon after, it establishes representatives in San Francisco, Chicago and Detroit. The latter was the center of the automotive industry, a market for large numbers of ROSS equipment used in preparing body finishes, lacquers and colors. During this peak production and prosperity, Charles G. Ross runs the company with his sons Mortimer, Charles and Lester.
The stock market crashes and orders decline to almost nil. During the Great Depression, the company is forced to cut down overhead and operates only three days a week. Employees who had been working there for 20 to 30 years are kept onboard and paid out of reserve funds. ROSS spends the slow years redesigning and improving its products. It finds ways to economize and decrease manufacturing cost. At the same time, the company increases advertising exposure in trade papers such as American Ink Maker, American Paint Journal, Drug & Cosmetic Magazine, and the Chemical Engineering Catalog.
The American economy demonstrates its abounding resiliency. ROSS begins filling orders for the growing cosmetic industry which reflected the changing fashions and tastes of women. Charles G. Ross dies on April 14, 1937 and his eldest son, Mortimer G. Ross becomes company president.
Due to World War II, European demand for ROSS products greatly increases.
ROSS introduces the world's first change-can Double Planetary
Mixer which quickly becomes a popular machine for batching heavy
paste paints. It had two sets of prong-like stirrers that
rotated on individual axes while revolving around the vessel
interior. All the gearing and other moving parts were enclosed
in cast iron housings and operated in a continuous oil bath.
During mixing, the vessel was fully covered but the operator
could view the internals from a lamp-lit inspection window. When
the batch is complete, a hydraulic lift raised the driving
components and stirrers from the mix can. As the finished
product is discharged, another vessel could be placed under the
mixer to start a new batch.
This was a revolutionary design that improved upon pony-style mixers which were widely being used at that time. The agitator of the pony mixer consists of vertical blades or fingers oriented off-center of the vessel. The blades rotate from a fixed central axis while the vessel, installed on a turntable, turns in the opposite direction as the agitator. The pony mixer was an open system which made it prone to dusting and cross-contamination. The Double Planetary Mixer eliminated these issues and improved operator safety.
Not long after, the Double Planetary Mixer becomes a familiar machine outside of the paint and coatings industry. Its ability to turnover viscous, sticky or putty-like materials with great efficiency immediately presented obvious processing benefits to adhesive and sealant manufacturers.
Company picnic. Richard Ross sitting on his father, Charles' lap.
Charles L. Ross succeeds Mortimer G. Ross as president upon the latter's death on May 10, 1943. Their other brother Lester K. Ross serves as Vice-President and Treasurer. Years later, Charles' sons Charles K. Ross and Richard Ross take over the company.
Charles K. Ross transfers his interest in the company to his brother Richard who remains president to this day. Under Richard's leadership, a rapid series of growth spurts expanded production to other states and overseas.
ROSS moves to Hauppauge, a town on Long Island, New York. The headquarters consisted of administrative and engineering offices, a manufacturing shop and soon after a testing lab where customers could test ROSS mixers and blenders prior to purchase. The lab has expanded numerous times in the following decades. Today, the ROSS Test & Development Center is the most equipped testing facility in the specialty mixing industry. A typical mixing simulation test utilizes the end user's actual raw materials and the mixer is operated at process conditions as close as possible to actual production. Proof-of-concept demonstrations such as high shear emulsification, particle size reduction, dry blending, vacuum drying, high viscosity mixing and three roll milling are performed routinely.
ROSS Metal Fabricators is established in Islip, New York. The fabrication plant later transfers to its present Deer Park, New York location where it continues to manufacture high-quality mix tanks, pressure vessels, kettles and custom-built equipment.
ROSS Engineering, Inc. opens in Thunderbolt, Georgia. Operations grow quickly and in 1980, the plant relocates to its current facility in Savannah, Georgia. The largest ROSS plant in the USA, ROSS Engineering is capable of producing storage tanks, pressure vessels and reactors up to 100,000 gallons or larger. This facility also manufactures large-scale multi-shaft mixers, high shear mixers, vertical blenders and three roll mills.
ROSS Mixing Inc. opens in Port St. Lucie, Florida. Today, this facility designs and manufactures various laboratory mixers, all sizes of high speed dispersers, dual-shaft mixers and ribbon blenders. ROSS Mixing also houses a multi-million-dollar inventory of new and reconditioned equipment, the largest stock and rental fleet in the specialty mixing industry.
ROSS patents a hybrid planetary mixer design equipped with both low and high speed agitators, accomplishing mixing tasks normally done by two or more devices. The novel configuration features a stirrer blade that rotates on its own axis while orbiting the mix vessel, delivering a thorough mixing and kneading action suitable for processing high viscosity mixtures. At the same time, a saw-tooth disperser blade also revolves around the batch while turning on its own axis at tip speeds of around 5,000 ft/min. This high speed blade quickly disperses powders, fibers, pellets and other solids regardless of product rheology. Each agitator is controlled independently allowing the operator to fine-tune flow patterns and shear rates at any point during the mixing cycle. Today, the PowerMix Planetary Disperser is an indispensable tool for hundreds of users in the adhesives, chemical, plastics, composites, coatings, medical and other industries.
James C. Ross, son of Richard Ross, invents the X-Series Inline Ultra-High Shear Mixer, a quantum leap in rotor/stator technology. Turning at tip speeds over 11,000 ft/min, the X-Series rotor consists of concentric rows of intermeshing teeth. Product enters from the center of the stator and moves outward through radial channels in the rotor/stator teeth. The combination of high tip speed and extremely close tolerances between the interlocking channels subjects the product to intense shear in every pass. Adjustable gap settings allow for fine-tuning of shear level and flow rate. The X-Series patent is granted in 1997 and in process lines around the world, the invention readily demonstrates a distinct ability to produce submicron dispersions and emulsions superior to those made in multi-stage rotor/stators and colloid mills. In certain applications, X-Series Mixers replace high pressure homogenizers, delivering comparable size reduction at significantly higher throughputs.
The company establishes its own controls division, ROSS Systems & Controls, located in Savannah, Georgia. ROSS SysCon is now a leading worldwide supplier of process control systems and automation packages all tailored to customers' exact requirements - from simple start/stop/speed commands to PLC-based recipe driven systems with supervisory control and data acquisition packages.
ROSS enters the Chinese market through a joint venture, Nantong ROSS Mixing Equipment Co. Ltd. The success of this enterprise pushed ROSS to become the world's largest supplier of ribbon blenders. Nantong ROSS also produces high shear mixers, vertical blenders and other product lines for the Chinese market.
The company's technical services group completes the development a novel powder induction technology called SLIM which stands for Solids/Liquid Injection Manifold. The SLIM is the most efficient and reliable device available in the market today for dispersing powders into a liquid. It features a specially engineered rotor that creates an intense vacuum which draws solids into the high shear zone of the mix chamber. Challenging powders like fumed silica, gums, thickeners and pigments are dispersed instantly. Proven on process lines around the world, the SLIM routinely cuts process times by 80% or more, eliminating issues like excessive dusting, floating powders, persistent lumps or "fish eyes" and wasted raw materials due to inefficient dispersion.
ROSS is granted the patent for the "Delta" rotor/stator of its PreMax Batch Ultra-High Shear Mixer. The Delta rotor runs at higher tip speeds (5,000 ft/min) than a regular high-shear mixer device, creating enhanced levels of mechanical, hydraulic and cavitational shear. In addition, the Delta rotor's unique shape generates a double vortex and intense vigorous flow which quickly draws powders from the batch surface. For most inks and coating applications, the level of pigment dispersion achieved in the PreMax is comparable to one or two passes through a media mill.
A second ROSS plant in China, ROSS Wuxi Equipment Co. Ltd, opens for business. Wholly-owned by Charles Ross & Son Company, ROSS Wuxi enables very strategic growth as many US companies start opening manufacturing facilities in China. Today, ROSS Wuxi is the largest ROSS plant, serving customers all across Asia, Australia, South America and Europe.
ROSS receives another patent for the development of "High Viscosity" (HV) Blades, now the prevalent stirrer design used in ROSS Double Planetary Mixers. Featuring a precisely angled helical contour, HV Blades generate a forward and downward mixing action, keeping product within the vessel at all times and preventing the climbing problem sometimes experienced with traditional rectangular stirrers. The HV Blades extend the Double Planetary Mixer's viscosity range to approximately 6 million centipoise, easily handling applications that previously required a more expensive horizontal sigma blade kneader. The rotating helical stirrers pass each other in a slicing motion, which more evenly distributes the resistance of thick, non-flowable materials compared to the vertical flights of rectangular blades. The absence of horizontal crossbars also allows the HV Blades to be lifted very cleanly and easily out of a viscous or dense batch.
Seeing the large potential of the Indian economy, ROSS Process Equipment Pvt. Ltd. is established in Pune, India. Also 100%-owned by Charles Ross & Son Company, Ross Process Equipment builds a full range of mixing and blending equipment for customers in India, the Middle East and Africa.
ROSS builds a 250,000-sq.ft. state-of-the-art facility in Wuxi, China to accommodate hundreds of large-scale Dual Planetary Dispersers for the lithium battery industry. ROSS Wuxi is the number one supplier of mixing equipment to the Chinese battery industry. To date, it has supplied over 2,000 mixers to this market alone. Dual Planetary Dispersers feature four agitators - two planetary stirrers and two high speed shafts - all rotating on their own axes while orbiting the vessel on a common axis. The robust mixing action is ideal for preparing thick slurries and highly-filled pastes with excellent uniformity and dispersion quality.
Joe Martorana takes the reins as Executive Vice President, overseeing the management and growth of the ROSS group of companies globally.
ROSS opens its first online store.
After more than 20 years of a successful joint venture which pushed ROSS to become the largest supplier of Ribbon Blenders in China, Nantong Ross Mixing Equipment Co. Ltd. completes a major facility expansion.
ROSS remains open all throughout the COVID-19 pandemic as an essential business serving the food, pharmaceutical, personal care and chemical industries. ROSS supplies mixing equipment to companies making hand sanitizers, vitamin supplements, nasal swabs, and masks. The company continues to support critical infrastructures including the United States Department of Defense.
ROSS signs on S2F Metaprocess as exclusive representative and integrator for ROSS products throughout Europe. ROSS Wuxi Equipment continues to exclusively handle turnkey battery production systems in the region.

Although the issues are dragged too much, still it is interesting to watch love fights between the mismatched couple - Tamilian Ishita and Punjbai Raman, their barbs and the blossoming love between them.
The current track shows Ishita excited about meeting her friend Mani and Sumeet is the one who plays her buddy and their closeness is expected to ensue a lot of drama.
Talking about his entry into the show, which is from Ekta Kapoor's stable, Sumeet said: "I am very excited to be back with Star Plus and Balaji Telefilms. It feels great to be a part of such a popular show like Yeh Hai Mohabbatein."
"I will be playing Abimanyu who is an old friend of Ishita. I am sure my entry will bring a lot of spice in the show," the actor said in a statement.
Both Divyanka Tripathi as Ishita and Karan Patel Raman's have done justice to their respective roles and their on screen chemistry is not only appetizing, but it is the highlight of the show.
The new twist in the tale is set to heighten the drama and keep the audience engrossed

Alameda and Contra Costa are among five Bay Area counties to announce a new health order to take effect in the coming days, getting out ahead of the state's hospital ICU capacity-based plan to instead implement similar restrictions sooner on the local level.
The new restrictions on businesses, gatherings and other activities will be similar to those outlined by Gov. Gavin Newsom on Thursday, which under the governor's plan would've been triggered Bay Area-wide once ICU capacity dips below 15%.
But health officers in Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, San Francisco and Santa Clara counties and the city of Berkeley see that threshold -- and associated restrictions -- as "inevitable" in their jurisdictions, so they have opted to implement a localized state-at-home order sooner rather than wait until ICU capacity reaches that critical level.
Locally, the health order will take effect Sunday in Contra Costa County and on Monday in Alameda County. The restrictions are scheduled to remain in place until Jan. 4.
"Rising hospitalization rates across the region threaten not only our community members with severe COVID-19, but anyone who may need care because of a heart attack, stroke, accident, or other critical health need," Alameda County Health Officer Dr. Nicholas Moss said in a statement. "By acting together now we will have the greatest impact on the surge and save more lives."
"We are seeing a surge in COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations here in Contra Costa County and across our region," added Contra Costa County Health Officer Dr. Christopher Farnitano. "The number of patients hospitalized with COVID-19 in our county has doubled in just the past couple of weeks, and we are at risk of exceeding our hospital capacity later this month if current trends continue."

|Mannington Commercial's Against the Grain is inspired by the bold grains of rough-hewn and reclaimed woods, according to the company.|
Inspired by the bold grains of rough-hewn and reclaimed woods, Mannington Commercial's new Against the Grain unites four distinctly cut aesthetics, according to the company.
Exploring interpretations of the warm textures and weighty grains of reclaimed wood, the designers used carpet’s capabilities to create aesthetics. The collection’s overall tonality ties varied textures and patterns together, creating a differentiated design on the floor. The collection is available in 15 colors.
Against the Grain leverages this trend through a smart use of texture and pattern, allowing the floor to provide subtle visual cues to the functionality of the space, according to the company.
The four pattern components can be used individually or in any combination creating a running line program unique to each space. Designed for simple planning and installation, the patterns are mix-and-match, creating a random effect that is programmed into the 18x36 inch tile format of each product.
Against the Grain is available on rEvolve thermoplastic polyolefin backing, with 40% minimum recycled content, 10% post-consumer (NSF/ANSI Certified Platinum), according to the company. The product is also available on Infinity RE Modular: 30% minimum recycled content. EPDs are available for both backings.
Ultron 6,6 nylon and Mannington construction unite to create a high performance, high durability, low maintenance carpet, engineered to retain the color and texture that set the collection apart. Colorsafe bleach warranty, Xguard stain warranty and lifetime backing warranties apply.
