| Free Web site maps crime reports, calls
Public Engines LLC, Whisenant's seven-person company in Salt Lake City, Utah, pledges to post no ads on the site. About 40 law enforcement agencies have signed up, including police in San Jose, California, and several Utah jurisdictions. The site also captures and posts information from departments such as the one in Chicago, Illinois, that do not pay Public Engines because they had built their own links into their records. This coincides with a prominent trend in policing. Since New York City police launched their "CompStat" system in 1994, law enforcement agencies around the country have been capturing and analyzing crime information in more careful detail, in hopes of better planning responses. But these internal records generally do not come in a uniform, Web-friendly fashion.

What about all those people who say they're against inter-racial marriage? These are people who are so vile that they oppose OTHER people marrying outside their race! Nevertheless, where Madison Ave puts it's dough is where the culture currently IS, perhaps that's not where we'd like it to be but that's the "reality on the ground". Before you call me a race hustler please just examine the argument, okay? List all of the advertising campaigns that feature inter-racial couples of the black and white variety. As an owner of a production company in California I can tell you that it hasn't happened. Notice that I separated the "commercial" aspect from the "production" aspect. There are a few interracial couples on a few t.v shows in minor story lines, this is different from direct ad dollars in an advertising campaign.
Bradford Airport Authority releases another balanced budget for 2008
The Bradford Regional Airport Authority has released another balanced budget.On Wednesday, the authority unanimously passed its $528,772 spending plan for 2008 — which calls for no increase in the county subsidy for the seventh year in a row. The overall budget has increased by $6,192 from last year. While the budget shows a $65,478 deficit, Airport Director Tom Frungillo said the shortfall is made up through the airport’s natural resources account, which is comprised of timber and oil and gas well revenue.Airport officials are also hoping the facility’s bottom line will improve following a proposed change in hub cities from Pittsburgh to Washington, which could spur an increase in the number of travelers using the airport. Meanwhile, officials are attempting to boost economic development on airport grounds with the creation of a multi-tenant center, among other capital projects."This is the most comprehensive budget I’ve ever seen up here," Frungillo said, referring to changes in the way the budget is developed, including a breakdown of funds in the natural resources account.According to a copy of the budget, the authority will receive a total of $197,877 from the counties it serves, including $168,000 from McKean County, $24,445 from Elk County and $5,432 from Cameron County.

Hip-Hop Rumors: Lil' Wayne's Detox? C-Murder & The Game's Mom? Mariah ...
My homey Johnny told me that C-Murder has signed The Game's mother to a deal. She soon is telling her life story in the form a book…and maybe a CD as rapper. “Life's Not A Fair Game" is supposedly the name of the book. I'm sure you all know, but Game's mother is a well respected OG in the Compton hood – I heard.
NELLY'S TOTAL RULE OVER OTHER PEOPLE?
Nelly is supposedly restarting the T.R.O.O.P. clothing line. What's funny about that is TROOP been “back" but they didn't get any burn. They used to say TROOP was owned by the KKK and mean Total Rule Over Other People. He needs to bring back VoKal (that site ain't been updated in 3 full years)!
LIL' WAYNE WRITING ON DETOX? There is a lil' rumor going around that Lil' Wayne might be lending his writing or non writing talents to Dr.
Feel good foods
But did you know that eating that piece of cake or pie can make you tired or depressed and that eating carrots and celery sticks can fill you with energy and vitality. These nutrition information, researched from the Internet, will go a long way in helping us to make the right choice of diet to boost our moods. Dieticians and clinical nutritionists at New York University Medical Centre explain that bodies are like chemistry sets. Everything you put in your body has a chemical effect, which is why food can affect your mood. It gets broken down into elements that can raise your blood sugar or drop it rapidly. That banana you're eating, we forget about it but the chemicals in the banana affect us, good or ill. There are chemicals like caffeine that affect the neurotransmitters and affect whether we feel good or bad or energetic or tired.
Blackberry outage endangers Valentine's Day
Could the timing have been any worse? Mere days before out annual celebration of all that is love, the anti-Cupids responsible for keeping Blackberry passions smoldering have done let the fire go out again. Last time this happened, back in April 2007, the results were disastrous, not only in terms of broken connections, but also busted relationships between men and women robbed of their communications lifelines. Here at Buzzblog, we chronicled the case of one such victim, Rafael Paz, in a post headlined: "BlackBerry owes this guy a girlfriend." It's just like in that series of AT&T/Cingular TV commercials where the gaps of silence created by dropped calls lead to terrible misunderstandings - only this case involves BlackBerry and real life. Just as the smoke is starting to clear from today's massive BlackBerry blackout, Rafael Paz, a loss control specialist for a car rental agency, writes to tell me that he has been "getting my e-mails about one to four hours late minimum since yesterday." And it hasn't just been loss control that has suffered, he adds: "This issue sucks.
I Drove The Indy 500
The Miller 91 looked to other cars of the period like Jim Clark's rear-engined Lotus-Ford in 1965. It was so different, so unusual, so perfectly engineered. You'd look at it and your eye would just fall on all the different interesting places and you'd go, "Look at thaaat!" Other racers saw it and probably said, "Well, let's just go home." Harry Miller was one of the most unknown guys. The average person might know Duesenberg or Bugatti, but he probably doesn't know about Miller. He was an intuitive engineer with no formal training, but he was an artist who knew, he just knew, how a part should look or feel, right down to the tiniest millimeter. I have a Bugatti that was one of three cars that American race driver Leon Duray traded for two Miller 91s that he originally brought over to France to race.
