VRS Frequently Asked Questions
An express filing is simply a streamlined order within the Vehicle Registration System that allows you to generate and print a temporary tag or a transfer slip without entering all of the information necessary to submit a full electronic title application or permanent registration.
Once completed, you have the option to send your title paperwork with a check attached for taxes and fees to the DMV within 60 days, just as you do today OR you will have the option to remit the information and payment electronically though the system – it's your choice.
The cost to remit an express filing or a full electronic title and registration order is still $2.00 ($5.50 for fax dealers). All express charges will be collected as a lump sum payment to West Virginia Interactive on the 10th of each month for the previous month's total activity via an automated ACH from your account on file. For example, if you perform 10 express transfers and 10 express temp tags this month you will receive an electronic statement for $40.00 ($110.00 for fax users) and the money will be automatically debited from your account on the tenth day of the next month. Fax users will receive a paper statement mailed to them monthly showing their activity.
If you have a computer with an internet connection and a printer, you already have everything you need. Your printer must be capable of printing on 65# paper to print temp tags. If you do not have a computer or internet connection, you can use the available fax service.
No, the Vehicle Registration System is an internet based application. You will simply access the online system and login.
Temporary tags must be printed on heavy card stock pre-printed with a valid Inventory Control Number. Once printed, the temp tag is placed inside a heavy duty plastic sleeve to protect them while they are on the vehicle. Temporary tag paper and plastic sleeves are ordered online directly through your account and shipped to the location of your choosing.
First, you will need to create a wv.gov account by visiting http://apps.wv.gov/accounts and then activate it via an email that you will be sent. Next, complete the sign up form and submit them to West Virginia Interactive. Once you receive an email that you have been granted access, you can add other users and begin using VRS!
In addition to the existing $3.00 temp tag fee, the system will charge a fee for each completed transaction, which may be passed onto the customer buying the vehicle. This additional fee assists with funding the new online filing system and the amount of the fee depends on the type of transaction being completed as follows:
Cars, Trucks, SUVs, Trailers, motorcycles, etc.
ATV/Dirt Bike
Transfer Plate
Transaction fees will be collected at the same time title, registration and sales tax fees are paid and they can be passed onto the customer similar to the existing statutory $3.00 temp tag fee.

Mob Victims Not Happy with Mob Wives
Mob Wives is a new VH1 reality show, which follows the female counterparts of imprisoned murderous mobsters like Salvatore "Sammy the Bull" Gravano. Unsurprisingly, relatives of Gravano's 19 victims aren't happy. Maybe VH1 should give them their own reality show?
Here's what one of the victim's brother said about the new reality show, which features Sammy the Bull's daughter, Karen Gravano (as well as actual mob wives). From the Daily News:
"She grew up a little spoiled brat on blood money," said Jackie Colucci, whose slain brother Joseph was Salvatore Gravano's first victim in 1970.
"She should be ashamed that her father is a murderer and a drug dealer. I would be ashamed and crawling in a hole and staying out of the limelight.
This seems like a terrible idea for a reality show! Would anyone watch a show called Mass Murder's Wives? Where there are scenes where all the wives sit around sipping mimosas and dishing about how annoying it is that their husbands disappear for days only to come back with haunted looks on their faces and weird bruises on their arms? Because that's basically what Mob Wives is.

Southwest boys� basketball coach Tommy Barnes has known Friday night home games have not been kind to his Stallions.
However, the Stallions� final Friday night home contest proved to be a winning one as Southwest escaped with a 60-56 Coastal Plains 1-A Conference win over Pamlico.
Earlier, Pamlico defeated Southwest 57-48 in the girls� game.
The Southwest boys team (16-4, 8-2) finished second in the CPC, one game behind East Carteret (19-5, 9-1), which beat Jones Senior on Friday. Pamlico fell to 10-11, 5-5.
The Southwest-Pamlico game was up for grabs as it was tied at 56-56 with 35 seconds left.
�I told our guys that we didn�t need a three and that we had time, but to try and get to the basket,� Barnes said. �If that wasn�t there, then try for the game-winner (from the outside).�
However, that�s not how it went down.
After burning about 15 seconds, the Stallions turned the ball over under their own goal. But the Hurricanes turned the ball over at halfcourt. As the ball was rolling out of bounds, the Stallions� Jeffery Williams snatched it, threw it back towards his team�s goal to Malique Judd, who caught the pass and laid it in to go up 58-56 with 2.8 seconds remaining.
�I�m just glad we got the win. Our boys stepped up tonight,� Judd said. �In that final timeout, all we said was just finish and that�s exactly what we did.�
Pamlico called a timeout, but then Judd stole the ball and scored on another layup as time expired for the final score.
�I got the steal and just looked up and there I was under the goal,� Judd said. �After I got the steal, I knew we had the game won.�
Southwest snapped the Hurricanes� 2-game winning streak. The Stallions will be the CPC�s second seed for next week�s conference tournament and will receive a first-round bye.
�That (bye) will give us a chance to rest our legs a little bit and that�s extremely important,� Barnes said. �Hopefully we won�t celebrate too much on this win here and Monday just get back to it and work on some things that we need to work on.�
Judd led the Stallions with 17 points and 8 rebounds while Jonathan Williams added 11 points.
Pamlico 57, Southwest 48: Southwest suffered a loss to Pamlico in both teams� regular-season finale.
The Stallions took its first lead of the game with 5:25 left in the third quarter at 26-25 after Mikayla Dugan made a layup and Taylor Marley hit one of two free throws after Pamlico�s Alazia Whitfield was called for a technical foul.
However, a 6-0 run helped the Hurricanes retake the lead and extend it to 31-26. Pamlico never trailed again.
A Marley three-pointer cut the lead to four points at 50-46 with 45.6 seconds remaining, but Pamlico hit its free throws to help seal the win.
�We played really hard, I was very happy with the effort we put forth,� SWO coach Bev Marley said. �A couple things here, a couple things there and the game could have gone the other way, but when you lose and you feel like you�ve left it all on the court, then yoy�re OK with that as a coach.�
Pamlico 15 14 17 10 � 56
Southwest 16 13 14 17 � 60
Brown 17, Lewis 14, Randall 12, Simmons 6, Resto 3, Moore 2, Bennett 2 Totals� 23 10-19 56.

Marketing For Plastic Surgeons Beville Heights, Florida
When marketing plastic surgery to the mass media outlets, remember the importance of target marketing. Aesthetic medicine has long been on the forefront of patient engagement—a concept now being embraced by the wider healthcare community. With technology being such an integral part of marketing for plastic surgery practices in Beville Heights, understanding how your practice can benefit is key. In today's increasingly competitive market environment, it is critical for a plastic surgery practice to reach out to new patients and create awareness about its procedures, facilities and unique services. In order to attract the right leads it is important to understand who your perfect client is and reel them in with the right incentives. Marketing that worked in the past may no longer be enough – or even appropriate – to put your plastic surgery practice front and center to attract prospective patients. Just like other medical fields, marketing plays a vital role in the survival and growth of your practice.
Plastic Surgery Marketing & Advertising to Increase Patient Referrals in Beville Heights, Florida
We understand how difficult it can be to manage, staff, & operate a plastic surgery practice while trying Marketing For Plastic Surgeons. Because aesthetic plastic surgery is dominated by elective procedures, you can't lean on referrals for business. We worked hard to get to the top of the list and we are seeing a lot of inbound traffic coming to our site through this page, including other marketers and marketing agencies in Alachua County 32607 looking to copy our secret sauce! Aesthetic medicine is a lucrative business that's created a fiercely competitive industry. Electronic health record (EHR) and practice management (PM) systems now include a variety of tools to help you track patient engagement and automate your communications.
A new year is quickly approaching, and your marketing team should be putting together your strategic plan that will carry you through the first six months, if not the entire year. The most efficient and cost-effective way to achieve this is through an online marketing campaign and a user-friendly website. Today we are going to go over the top four ways to market your plastic surgery business in Beville Heights, Floridaby enticing potential clients to fill out your lead-gen forms and getting them in your office. To answer that vital question, we've prepared this multi-chapter guide that will walk you through the key components you should be using in your marketing strategy.
Marketing For Plastic Surgeons Ideas in Beville Heights for Increased Practice Visibility
As a medical professional, you understand the importance of knowledge and practiced skill when it comes to creating the most effective results. One of the reasons traditional marketing methods in Alachua County have an unfavorable ROI and unqualified leads is because the ads do not target a particular segment of people. Whether you use an in-house marketing staff or agency to promote your cosmetic surgery practice, planning is essential. However, when you're spending your days helping patients look and feel their best, staying up-to-date can be difficult. So, If we can get our site to rank nationally – imagine what we can do for your company's visibility in the billions of local searches performed, by your potential customers, each day! Plastic surgeons, as well as other specialties and corporations, want to capitalize on the growing demand for cosmetic surgery.
Cosmetic Surgery Advertising Strategy in Beville Heights
The only thing practices need to do is determine which communication efforts offer the most benefits—and are the best fit for their culture. People who have wanted to ask questions and were too shy will benefit from the visual experience. We have helped a lot of plastic surgery practices meet their business goals through effective plastic surgery marketing. With technology such as Photoshop, it can be as simple as taking a picture of the area on their body they wish to have altered and manipulating it on your computer in front of their eyes.

A well-integrated medical marketing in Florida approach can increase name familiarity, demonstrate your credibility and expertise, and clearly differentiate you from competitors. The American Society of Plastic Surgeons conducted a study in 2014 and discovered that there were over 15.6 million cosmetic procedures done in the US. Strategic planning ensures you target the right customers, in the right place, with a louder and better message than your competition. But our expert strategists will conduct a thorough analysis of your practice in order to paint a complete picture of where you are now, where you want to go and how to get there.

VENICE, Italy — Is there a language Viggo Mortensen doesn't speak?
The multilingual Danish-American actor has performed in everything from English to Elvish. Now he tackles French — as well the power of silence — in Venice Film Festival entry "Far From Men," a stark story about two men, a schoolteacher and a murderer, caught up in Algeria's war for independence.
Mortensen also learned some Arabic for the film by French director David Oelhoffen. So how many tongues has he used onscreen?
"Lakota, Elvish — two kinds of Elvish — Dwarvish, Arabic, French, Danish, Russian," he listed. "I think I spoke Swedish one time, German, Spanish."
It's possible he may have left out one or two.
Mortensen — tanned, muscular and radiating energy while meeting reporters in Venice — said he chooses roles for the chances they give him to study, learn and gain new skills.
"You only can improve if you're challenged," he said. "You either learn or you fail."
In "Far From Men" ("Loin des Hommes" in French), Mortensen plays Daru, a former soldier who teaches children in an isolated Algerian mountain region.
It's 1954, and as an uprising stirs against the French colonial power, he is ordered to escort a man accused of murder to town for trial, and certain execution.
Daru would rather offer the doomed Mohamed (French actor Reda Kateb, who was in "Zero Dark Thirty") the chance to escape, but the prisoner is stubbornly reluctant to avoid death.
Based on a story by Albert Camus, Oelhoffen's film unfolds like a Western, full of silence, rugged landscapes and big skies. As the two men traverse the rugged and lawless Atlas mountains, both face moral choices, and discover that despite their differences they must unite to survive.
Mortensen, who was born in New York to Danish and American parents and spent part of his childhood in in Argentina, said he identified with "a certain displaced quality" in the film characters.
"He's denying his past, and he's running away from life on some level," Mortensen said. "He is also saying no to life, just as much as Mohamed is."
The movie has been praised in Venice, where some see it as a leading contender for the top prize, the Golden Lion.
Its theme — the fragility and importance of communication across barriers — is close to Mortensen's heart.
"The world is becoming more polarized ... even though the possibility for global communication has never been more ample, more conducive to understanding one another," the actor said. "I think people use the new means of communication for further underlining their particular way of looking at things.
"So you become more isolated ... even though it ought to be the other way around."
Talking, in myriad languages, is a feature of many of Mortensen's movies. So, the actor says, is walking.
"It's probably a coincidence but maybe not: I've done a lot of movies where I walk a lot."
Mortensen mentions "The Lord of the Rings," ''The Road" and the Argentine film "Jauja," as well as "Far From Men."
The physical thread continues in his upcoming "Captain Fantastic," about a self-sufficient family struggling to adjust to urban life.
Throughout his career, Mortensen, 55, has moved between blockbusters such as "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy — he played Aragorn — and edgier fare like David Cronenberg's Russian gangster story "Eastern Promises" and Freudian drama "A Dangerous Method."
He has been admired for his ability to make independent features while retaining box-office clout.
"If I keep doing independent movies maybe eventually people won't say that anymore," he said. "But I'm not worried about that. I think good work eventually finds an audience.
"I don't look for big movies or small movies. I'm just looking for stories that I want to see in the movie theater."

SIDEKICK ANDREW: Just a quick one this week, although the video is longer than usual. I was tempted to write about Superstars and how amazing this week's episode was. There was a great match between Beth Phoenix and Gail Kim, a surprisingly good match between Alicia Fox and Kaitlyn, and an amazing six-man tag involving the Usos and Trent Baretta against Tyson Kidd, Heath Slater & Justin Gabriel. Wondering what was so great about that match? Well, when was the last time you saw a move like this on Raw?
Anyway, I was going to write about Superstars, but I've already pleaded with you guys to watch the show. Something else you should definitely watch if you get chance (neat segue!) is the Wrestling Road Diaries documentary put out by Colt "Scotty Goldman" Cabana, Bryan "Daniel Bryan" Danielson and Sal "the other one" Rinauro. We had a screening in the Bunker this weekend and thoroughly enjoyed it. If you've got a spare couple of quid knocking about, support indie wrestlers and buy it at WrestlingRoadDiaries.com, you won't regret it.
And in a slightly less smooth segue than before, the behind the scenes footage in that documentary leads to my Song For Whoever this week (bear with me, we'll get there.) When I was nineteen I lived, for a while, in the back of a van parked for the most part in the car park of Morrison's supermarket in Blackpool with a friend called Wayne Squire. His name isn't relevant to the story, but just in case he ever does one of those self-indulgent Google searches we all do from time to time… hi Wayne!
When we lived in the van we had a number of cassettes that were played pretty incessantly. Black Sunday by Cypress Hill, Automatic for the People by REM, In Utero by Nirvana… and the first two Smashing Pumpkins albums – Gish and Siamese Dream. These were the soundtrack to my life at a pretty weird time, and as such I've still a soft spot for all these bands. So I was pretty excited to hear that the Smashing Pumpkins were recording their new video at an indie wrestling show and involving Raven, Cheerleader Melissa and Shelly Martinez in the shoot.
Billy Corgan from the Smashing Pumpkins is a massive (if somewhat unlikely) wrestling fan, having shown up in the original ECW as well as allowing his songs to be used for at least two TNA PPV hype videos.
How to explain the logic behind releasing a video this week for a single that was released back in 2009? Well, here's an paragraph I'm stealing from Consequence of Sound to explain it for me.
Let's start with the facts: Billy Corgan's Smashing Pumpkins have a new video for their past single, "Owata", off the still evolving 44-track effort, Teargarden By Kaleidyscope. (The same album which will contain the previously released two EPs and the forthcoming album-within-an-album, Oceania, which is currently being endorsed by one Kareem Abdul-Jabar.) Instead of issuing a quick three to four minute video, which is apparently in the pipeline too, Corgan's attached his song to director Robby Starbuck's 12 minute short film about female underground wrestling.
All clear? Cool…
So, I started off saying this would be a short one, and it hasn't been really. Sorry about that. I suppose I could scroll back up and delete that line, but meh… Enjoy the video.
BOSS LADY RAY: I'm afraid I don't like Smashing Pumpkins or that song or the video (sorry, Andrew) so I'm going to take you down a slightly jazzier road this week. As Andrew mentioned, this past weekend we watched Colt Cabana, Bryan Danielson and Sal Rinauro take a ten-day road trip to shows and training workshops in the Wrestling Road Diaries documentary. It's rather brilliant and worth any spare pennies you've got floating around.
The ten days it covers are Bryan Danielson's last week and a half before he heads off to the WWE to morph into Daniel Bryan on NXT. There are two things that come across strongly throughout – the wonderful friendship between the three of them, and the fact that they love their jobs. I mean they really love their jobs. They travel all over the world for very little money, in a car with a cracked windscreen, sleeping on friends' couches and buying clothes in charity shops. Admittedly that last one was just for fun. But still, it becomes apparent that to be on the indie wrestling circuit you have to truly love it and they clearly do. They regularly mention that they think they have the best job in the world. How many people can honestly say they feel that way about their job? Even when some health issues put Bryan Danielson's WWE contract in jeopardy, he's reasonably calm about it, because he can still do what he loves to do elsewhere.
I watched Bryan wrestle Ted DiBiase on Smackdown this morning, and it occurred to me that he's one of the few who gets to just go out and completely be himself on TV. (Albeit with a slight name change.) Despite the fact that his style of wrestling isn't Flavour of the Month in the mainstream at the moment, he's still the same guy he is in the documentary, at least for as long as that character allows him to be. This one's dedicated to you, Bryan Da>ielson, for reminding me that if you don't love your job, you need a new one.
PS—> Previous mild crush on Colt Cabana is now a giant one. What can I say? I'm a sucker for a boy who makes me laugh!

MIDDLEBURY — Local lawmakers served notice on Monday that they will need to raise revenues and cut some programs in order to draft and pass a responsible fiscal year 2014 state budget.
At a Legislative Breakfast at the American Legion in Middlebury, Rep. Willem Jewett, D-Ripton, said this is the toughest financial year he has seen since being elected to the House 10 years ago. The House majority leader noted the federal government was able to cushion some of the financial blow of the recession through millions of dollars in stimulus funds.

The main purpose of bash (or of any shell) is to allow you to interact with the computer's operating system so that you can accomplish whatever you need to do. Usually that involves launching programs, so the shell takes the commands you type, determines from that input what programs need to be run, and launches them for you.
Let's take a look at the basic mechanism for launching jobs and explore some of the features bash offers for launching programs in the foreground or the background, sequentially or in parallel, indicating whether programs succeeded and more.
4.1 Running Any Executable
You need to run a command on a Linux or Unix system.Solution
Use bash and type the name of the command at the prompt.
$ somepro gDiscussion
This seems rather simple, and in a way it is, but a lot goes on behind the scenes that you never see. What's important to understand about bash is that its basic operation is to load and execute programs. All the rest is just window dressing to get ready to run programs. Sure there are shell variables and control statements for looping and if / then / else branching, and there are ways to control input and output, but they are all icing on the cake of program execution.
So where does it get the program to run?
bash will use a shell variable called $PATH to locate your executable. The $PATH vari able is a list of directories. The directories are separated by colons ( : ). bash will search in each of those directories for a file with the name that you specified. The order of the directories is important—bash looks at the order in which the directories are listed in the variable, and takes the first executable found.
$ echo $PAT H
In the $PATH variable shown above, four directories are included. The last directory in that list is just a single dot (called the dot directory, or just dot), which represents the current directory. The dot is the name of the directory found within every directory on a Linux or Unix file system—wherever you are, that's the directory to which dot refers. For example, when you copy a file from someplace to dot (i.e., cp /other/place/file . ), you are copying the file into the current directory. By having the dot directory listed in our path, bash will look for commands not just in those other directories, but also in the current directory (.).
Many people feel that putting dot on your $PATH is too great a security risk—someone could trick you and get you to run their own (malicious) version of a command in place of one that you were expecting. Now if dot were listed first, then someone else's version of ls would supersede the normal ls command and you might unwit tingly run that command. Don't believe us? Try this:
$ bas h
$ cd
$ touch ls
$ chmod 755 ls
$ ls
Suddenly, the ls appears not to work in your home directory. You get no output. When you cd to some other location (e.g., cd /tmp ), then ls will work, but not in your home directory. Why? Because in that directory there is an empty file called ls that is run (and does nothing—it's empty) instead of the normal ls command located at /bin/ls. Since we started this example by running a new copy of bash, you can exit from this mess by exiting this subshell; but you might want to remove the bogus ls command first:
$ cd
$ rm ls
$ exit
Can you see the mischief potential of wandering into a strange directory with your path set to search the dot directory before anywhere else?
If you put dot as the last directory in your $PATH variable, at least you won't be tricked that easily. Of course, if you leave it off altogether it is arguably even safer and you can still run commands in your local directory by typing a leading dot and slash character, as in:
$ ./myscript
The choice is yours.
Never allow a dot or writable directories in root's $PATH . For more, see Recipe 14.9, "Finding World-Writable Directories in Your $PATH" and Recipe 14.10, "Adding the Current Directory to the $PATH."
Don't forget to set the file's permissions to execute permission before you invoke your script:
$ chmod a+x ./myscript
$ ./myscript
You only need to set the permissions once. Thereafter you can invoke the script as a command.
A common practice among some bash experts is to create a personal bin directory, analogous to the system directories /bin and /usr/bin where executables are kept. In your personal bin you can put copies of your favorite shell scripts and other
custom ized or private commands. Then add your home directory to your $PATH , even to the front ( PATH=~/bin:$PATH ). That way, you can still have your own customized favorites without the security risk of running commands from strangers.
{mospagebreak title=4.2 Telling If a Command Succeeded or Not}
You need to know whether the command you ran succeeded.
The shell variable $? will be set with a non-zero value if the command fails—provided that the programmer who wrote that command or shell script followed the established convention:
$ somecomman d
it works…
$ echo $?
$ badcommand
it fails…
$ echo $?
The exit status of a command is kept in the shell variable referenced with $?. Its value can range from 0 to 255. When you write a shell script, it's a good idea to have your script exit with a non-zero value if you encounter an error condition. (Just keep it below 255, or the numbers will wrap around.) You return an exit status with the exit statement (e.g., exit 1 or exit 0 ). But be aware that you only get one shot at reading the exit status:
$ badcommand
it fails…
$ echo $?
$ echo $?
Why does the second time give us 0 as a result? Because the second time is reporting on the status of the immediately preceding echo command. The first time we typed echo $? it returned a 1 , which was the return value of badcommand. But the echo command itself succeeds, therefore the new, most-recent status is success (i.e., a 0 value). So you only get one chance to check it. Therefore, many shell scripts will immediately assign the status to another shell variable, as in:
$ badcommand
it fails…
$ echo $STAT
$ echo $STAT
We can keep the value around in the variable $STAT and check its value later on.
Although we're showing this in command-line examples, the real use of variables like $? comes in writing scripts. You can usually see if a command worked or not if you are watching it run on your screen. But in a script, the commands may be running unattended.
One of the great features of bash is that the scripting language is identical to com mands as you type them at a prompt in a terminal window. This makes it much easier to check out syntax and logic as you write your scripts.
The exit status is more often used in scripts, and often in if statements, to take different actions depending on the success or failure of a command. Here's a simple example for now, but we will revisit this topic in future recipes:
$ somecomman d
$ if (( $? )) ; then echo failed ; else echo OK; fi
- Recipe 4.5, "Deciding Whether a Command Succeeds"
- Recipe 4.8, "Displaying Error Messages When Failures Occur"
{mospagebreak title=4.3 Running Several Commands in Sequence}
You need to run several commands, but some take a while and you don't want to wait for the last one to finish before issuing the next command.Solution
There are three solutions to this problem, although the first is rather trivial: just keep typing. A Linux or Unix system is advanced enough to be able to let you type while it works on your previous commands, so you can simply keep typing one command after another.
Another rather simple solution is to type those commands into a file and then tell bash to execute the commands in the file—i.e., a simple shell script.
Assume that we want to run three commands: long, medium, and short, each of whose execution time is reflected in its name. We need to run them in that order, but don't want to wait around for long to finish before starting the other commands. We could use a shell script (aka batch file). Here's a primitive way to do that:
$ cat > simple.script
^D # Ctrl-D, not visible
$ bash ./simple.script
The third, and arguably best, solution is to run each command in sequence. If you want to run each program, regardless if the preceding ones fail, separate them with semicolons:
$ long ; medium ; short
If you only want to run the next program if the preceding program worked, and all the programs correctly set exit codes, separate them with double-ampersands:
$ long && medium && shortDiscussion
The cat example was just a very primitive way to enter text into a file. We redirect the output from the command into the file named simple.script (for more on redirecting output, see Chapter 3). Better you should use a real editor, but such things are harder to show in examples like this. From now on, when we want to show a script, we'll just either show the text as disembodied text not on a command line, or we will start the example with a command like cat filename to dump the contents of the file to the screen (rather than redirecting output from our typing into the file), and thus display it in the example.
The main point of this simple solution is to demonstrate that more than one command can be put on the bash command line. In the first case the second command isn't run until the first command exits, and the third doesn't execute until the second exits and so on, for as many commands as you have on the line. In the second case the second command isn't run unless the first command succeeds, and the third doesn't execute until the second succeeds and so on, for as many commands as you have on the line.
{mospagebreak title=4.4 Running Several Commands All at Once}
You need to run three commands, but they are independent of each other, and don't need to wait for each other to complete.Solution
You can run a command in the background by putting an ampersand (&) at the end of the command line. Thus, you could fire off all three jobs in rapid succession as follows:
$ long &
[1] 4592
$ medium &
[2] 4593
$ short
Or better yet, you can do it all on one command line:
$ long & medium & short
[1] 4592
[2] 4593
When we run a command in the background (there really is no such place in Linux), all that really means is that we disconnect keyboard input from the command and the shell doesn't wait for the command to complete before it gives another prompt and accepts more command input. Output from the job (unless we take explicit action to do otherwise) will still come to the screen, so all three jobs will be interspersing output to the screen.
The odd bits of numerical output are the job number in square brackets, followed by the process ID of the command that we just started in the background. In our example, job 1 (process 4592) is the long command, and job 2 (process 4593) is medium.
We didn't put short into the background since we didn't put an ampersand at the end of the line, so bash will wait for it to complete before giving us the shell prompt (the $ ).
The job number or process ID can be used to provide limited control over the job. You can kill the long job with kill %1 (since its job number was 1 ). Or you could specify the process number (e.g., kill 4592 ) with the same deadly results.
You can also use the job number to reconnect to a background job. Connect it back to the foreground with fg %1 . But if you only had one job running in the background, you wouldn't even need the job number, just fg by itself.
If you start a job and then realize it will take longer to complete than you thought, you can pause it using Ctrl-Z, which will return you to a prompt. You can then type bg to un-pause the job so it will continue running in the background. This is basically adding a trailing & after the fact.

• Chapter 2 on redirecting output
{mospagebreak title=4.5 Deciding Whether a Command Succeeds}
You need to run some commands, but you only want to run certain commands if certain other ones succeed. For example, you'd like to change directories (using the cd command) into a temporary directory and remove all the files. However, you don't want to remove any files if the cd fails (e.g., if permissions don't allow you into the directory, or if you spell the directory name wrong).Solution
We can use the exit status ($?) of the cd command in combination with an if statement to do the rm only if the cd was successful.
cd mytm p
if (( $? )); then rm * ; fi
Obviously, you wouldn't need to do this if you were typing the commands by hand. You would see any error messages from the cd command, and thus you wouldn't type the rm command. But scripting is another matter, and this test is very well worth doing to make sure that you don't accidentally erase all the files in the directory where you are running.
Let's say you ran that script from the wrong directory, one that didn't have a subdirectory named mytmp. When it runs, the cd would fail, so the current directory remains unchanged. Without the if check (the cd having failed) the script would just continue on to the next statement. Running the rm * would remove all the files in your current directory. Ouch. The if is worth it.
So how does $? get its value? It is the exit code of the command. For C Language programmers, you'll recognize this as the value of the argument supplied to the exit() function; e.g., exit(4); would return a 4. For the shell, zero is considered success and a non-zero value means failure.
If you're writing bash scripts, you'll want to be sure that your bash scripts explicitly set return values, so that $? is set properly from your script. If you don't, the value set will be the value of the last command run, which you may not want as your result.See Also

WALTHAM, Mass.- Despite raining in a season-high 10 3-pointers, the Brandeis women's basketball team fell in a home University Athletic Association contest to the Carnegie Mellon Tartans, 65-60. Brandeis falls to 7-6 (1-1 UAA) while Carnegie improves to 10-3 (2-0 UAA).
Junior guard Kasey Dean (Southbury, Conn./ Pomperaug) led the way for Brandeis by scoring 16 points for the second game in a row, tying her career-high, including three from downtown. Still, the Judges could not overcome a career night from Tartans' rookie guard Liza Otto (Glastonbury, Conn./ Glastonbury) who led all scorers with 22 points, including 18 in the second half.
In the first half, the two teams played a close game that featured five ties and two lead changes. Dean paced the Judges with 10 points on 3-for-4 shooting from the field and a 3-for-5 effort from the charity stripe. Meanwhile, junior guard Jacquie Shaw (Portland, Ore./ Grant) led the Tartans with eight points and helped her squad to a 28-23 lead with 2:00 minutes left in the period. Still, Brandeis went on a 7-2 run to close the half including a 3-pointer by sophomore guard Hannah Cain (Gloucester, Mass./ Gloucester) with six seconds left on the clock to knot the game at 30-30.
In the second half, Carnegie began to take control as they took a 13 point lead with 12:57 remaining on a layup by Shaw to close a 16-3 run. The Judges responded quickly with a 7-0, run including back-to-back treys from junior guard Janelle Rodriguez (Peabody, Mass./ Peabody Veterans), to cut the lead to six. The squads essentially traded baskets from that point forward with Brandeis getting within four point twice. The Judges' 10th basket from downtown from rookie guard Niki Laskaris (Swampscott, Mass./ Swampscott) made it a 64-60 game with 35 ticks left on the clock but that would the end of the scoring for Brandeis as they lost 65-60.
The Judges had two scorers in double-figures as Dean poured in 16 and Cain added 11. Laskaris chipped in a career-high nine points off the bench, all on shots from beyond the arc. Senior forward Erika Higginbottom (Millbury, Mass./ Worcester Acad.) led the squad with seven rebounds while Dean pulled down six caroms. Dean also led Brandeis with five assists as Cain added four helpers. Finally, Laskaris and junior forward Nicolina Vitale (Clinton Township, Mich./ Chippewa Valley) tied for the team lead with two blocks while Laskaris also held team-high honors with three steals.
The Tartans also had two players with double-digit points as Otto had 22 and Shaw had 12. Senior forward Emily Peel (Long Valley, N.J./ West Morris Central) had a game-high 14 rebounds and six assists while sophomore guard Gabrielle West (Cincinnati, Ohio/ Mount Notre Dame) and rookie guard Lindsay Poss (Poolesville, Md./ Poolesville) tied for the team lead with three steals. Finally, Otto and Shaw shared team-high honors with two blocks.
The Judges return to action on Sunday January 13th for a UAA matchup with Case Western Reserve at 2:00 p.m. Carnegie Mellon continues their UAA schedule on the road against NYU on Sunday January 13th with a 2:00 p.m. tip-off.

[ v58 p28 ]
58 FLRA No. 9
September 6, 2002
Before the Authority: Dale Cabaniss, Chairman, and
Carol Waller Pope and Tony Armendariz, Members [n1]
I. Statement of the Case
This case is before the Authority on a negotiability appeal filed by the Union under section 7105(a)(2)(E) of the Federal Service Labor-Management Relations Statute (the Statute), and concerns the negotiability of one proposal. For the reasons which follow, we find that the Union's proposal is nonnegotiable.
II. Proposal
9-2b MILITARY TRAINING DUTY:
1. For purposes of this Section, "military training duty" is duty that is (1) required by a written policy or regulation that is applicable to members of the National Guard irrespective of whether they are employees, (2) designed to impart or to measure proficiency in a military skill, and (3) required by written policy or regulation to be performed for a specified period of time, or with a specified frequency, or until a specified level of proficiency is achieved. Examples of military training duties are rifle qualification and training in the wear of garments designed to afford protection from chemical weapons (Chem Gear).
2. The agency shall include in an employee's written position description each military training duty that the agency expects to assign, as work, to that employee. The agency shall provide contemporaneous written notice to each employee of any amendment of the employee's position description to include a military training duty. The notice shall include the following statement: "Agency representatives are available to meet with you, any other similarly-affected employees, and your Chapter representatives to discuss this amendment, to answer questions, and to listen to any concerns that may be expressed regarding this change. If you would like to have a meeting for this purpose, contact your chapter representatives." Agency representatives shall be available to meet with employees and chapter representatives for this purpose. A military training duty shall be included in an employee's position description no less than four months before that duty is assigned to the employee, unless the agency delivers to the employee and the chapter a written statement of facts and reasons explaining why the agency did not do so.
3. The agency shall provide the chapter a list of all bargaining unit position descriptions that include any military training duties. The list shall identify which military training duties are included in each position description. The agency shall provide the chapter contemporaneous written notice of any change to the listed information. The notice shall include the facts and reasons stated to any bargaining unit employee as the explanation for including a military training duty in the employee's position description less than four months before the employee was assigned the duty.
4. Upon request by the chapter, the agency shall negotiate the impact and implementation of military training duty assigned to any employee as work.
5. If the agency assigns an employee to perform, as work, any military training duty, the agency shall assign the work by written order that: (1) identifies the employee by name and position; (2) identifies and quotes the portion of the written policy or regulation that requires performance of the duty and specifies the period of time, frequency, or level of proficiency required, (3) describes the specific military skills to be imparted or military proficiency to be tested; (4) states the date, time, and place the duty will begin, and the expected duration [ v58 p29 ] of the duty for each separate period of duty time; (5) is delivered to the employee no less than thirty days before the duty will begin, unless the order states facts and reasons explaining why the agency is providing shorter notice; (6) describes the type, severity, and relative frequency of occurrence of any injury or illness that is known to have resulted from past performance of the duty or that is foreseeable; (7) describes precautionary measures that the agency will take and that the employee may take to reduce the risk of injury; (8) describes measures that the agency will take to provide prompt, effective treatment in the event injury does occur; (9) includes the following statement: "Agency representatives are available to meet with you, any other similarly-affected employees, and your chapter representatives to discuss this assignment of work, to answer questions, and to listen to any concerns that may be expressed regarding it. If you would like to have a meeting for this purpose, contact your chapter representatives." Agency representatives shall be available to meet with employees and chapter representatives for this purpose.
6. While the agency may require an employee to wear Chem Gear as an assignment of work, the agency shall not require an employee to wear Chem Gear as a method and means of performing work.
III. Preliminary Matter
The Union requests severance if the proposal is found nonnegotiable. Specifically, the Union asserts that paragraphs 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 can all operate individually as separate proposals. It also contends that the third and fourth sentences in paragraph 2, the first and third sentences within paragraph 3, and each requirement, i.e., 1-9, in paragraph 5 could also operate independently.
The Agency argues that the proposal may only be treated as a whole as it is "integrally related." Statement of Position (SOP) at 13, citing NAGE, Local R14-23, 54 FLRA 1302, 1311 (1998). It contends that when viewed as a whole it is clear that the proposal would serve to only "hamstring the military training of technicians." SOP at 13.
The Authority's regulations require a union to "support its request with an explanation of how each severed portion of the proposal . . . may stand alone, and how such severed portion would operate." 5 C.F.R. § 2424.2(h); 2424.22(c); 2424.25(d). In this case, the Union states only that various portions of the proposal "are severable," Petition for Review at 6, and are "capable of standing alone." Response at 14. As the Union makes no attempt to explain how the severed portions would stand alone or otherwise operate, we find that the request for severance fails to comply with the regulatory requirements and deny it on that basis.
IV. Positions of the Parties
A. Agency
The Agency argues that the proposal would serve only to "undermine the effectiveness and efficiency of the workforce and degrade the mission-readiness of the organization." SOP at 5. The Agency maintains that the proposal is so broad that it would impact all members of the National Guard, even if they were not employees. Id. at 5. It contends that the proposal is not limited to technicians working in their civilian status, but rather "[b]ased upon the way the union has defined military training duties . . . it is obvious that the Union proposal addresses clearly military matters." Id. at 6. The Agency also maintains that the nature of the proposal, and not the status of the technicians when engaged in such activity, is important in deciding whether the proposal is nonnegotiable under 10 U.S.C. § 976(c). SOP at 6, citing Association of Civilian Technicians, Schenectady Chapter v. FLRA, 230 F.3d 377 (D.C. Cir. 2000) (ACT, Schenectady).
The Agency claims that technicians must remain proficient in their "military occupational specialty" which is required in order to maintain military membership under 32 U.S.C. § 709. Id. at 5-6. The Agency argues that the proposal could undermine compatibility between the "civilian and military job assignments of technicians' dual status employment," arguing that "[t]he performance of military training duties is directly linked to the military compatibility of the technician's position." Id. at 7,8, citing NAGE, Local R14-87, AFL-CIO, 18 FLRA 736, 737 (1985) and Agency Regulation TPR 300 (302.7) (setting forth the Agency regulation within that decision).
The Agency also argues that the Authority has found that "Military Training Duties" are not conditions of employment under § 7103(a)(14), and that technicians may not negotiate over military aspects of their civilian technician employment. SOP at 7-8; citing ACT, Texas Lone Star Chapter 100, 55 FLRA 1226 (2000) (Lone Star I) aff'd ACT, Texas Lone Star Chapter 100 v. FLRA, 250 F.3d 778 (D.C. Cir. 2001); 10 U.S.C. § 976(c); 32 U.S.C. § 709; 5 U.S.C. § 7103(a)(14). The Agency states that negotiation [ v58 p30 ] would be inconsistent with § 976(c) and § 7103(a)(14) as it would allow for arbitration as to the Agency's decisions and interpretations of military matters. Id., citing Lone Star.
B. Union
The Union argues that this proposal "applies only to assignment of particular duties that the agency, in exercise of its unfettered discretion, chooses to assign to employees as civilian employment work, to be done during civilian employment duty hours, for civilian employment pay." Response at 2. It claims that to the extent the "agency does not choose to assign these duties as civilian employment work, the proposal has no applicability." Id. Therefore, it argues, negotiation cannot be precluded under 10 U.S.C. § 976(c), which only applies to conditions of military service.
The Union also argues that it is not the nature of the task that is important, but rather that a technician is performing it while working as a civilian. Therefore, the Union contends, "[i]f the technician performs the task as assigned civilian employment work, during civilian employment duty hours, for civilian pay, then the task, when performed at that time, is a condition of civilian employment." Id. at 4. In support, the Union cites ACT, Arizona Army Chapter 61, 48 FLRA 412, 417 (1993) (ACT, Arizona). Further, the Union contends that, to the extent the proposal requires the Agency to include certain information in employees' position descriptions, the inclusion of that information is negotiable. Response at 5, citing ACT, Pennsylvania State Council, 29 FLRA 1292, 1300 (1987) (ACT, Pennsylvania).
The Union claims that the Agency's argument that the proposal violates the "military compatibility requirement" of TPR 300(302.7) and 32 U.S.C. § 709, is erroneous. Id. The Union argues that the proposal does not limit the Agency's ability to assign military skills training, during military status, nor does the proposal preclude the assignment of these tasks to technicians while serving in a civilian employee status. Id. at 7. Moreover, it states that the proposal would not have any force or affect if the Agency determined that an emergency had taken place under § 7106(a)(2)(D), and that the proposal would allow immediate training if the Agency writes a statement of facts and reason for needing such training in the absence of notice.
The Union also argues that the Authority previously erred in finding that "military aspects of technician employment" are nonnegotiable. Response at 9, citing Lone Star, 55 FLRA 1226. It asserts that § 976 and § 709 do not state that military aspects of technician employment are nonnegotiable. Similarly, the Union asserts that the Authority has never determined that civilian employment procedures, even when they touch upon matters that are military in nature, are nonnegotiable. Response at 11, citing ACT, Arizona, 48 FLRA at 417.
V. Meaning of the Proposal
The Union's proposal would require the Agency to include any military training duty assigned as work in a technician's position description, with notice to the Union prior to such inclusion and an opportunity to discuss the inclusion with technicians. It also would require that such military training would be assigned as work only under certain parameters including an opportunity to discuss the Agency's decision with both the Union and technician. The proposal would also require the Agency to engage in impact and implementation bargaining where a technician is assigned a military training duty as work and would restrict the Agency from requiring employees to wear Chem Gear as a methods and means of performing work.
VI. Analysis and Conclusions
Under 10 U.S.C. § 976(c), bargaining over the "terms and conditions" of military service is prohibited. The Authority has previously determined that "terms and conditions" are interpreted in a broad manner so that with respect to dual status technicians, whose day-to-day work lives have both civilian and military components, the prohibition applies to military aspects of civilian technician employment. Those terms and conditions are outside the duty to bargain without regard to whether or not they are either (1) within the sole discretion of an agency or (2) specifically provided for by law. See Lone Star, 55 FLRA at 1229.
A technician's status at the time a proposal would operate is not critical in applying § 976(c), but rather, the crucial distinction is whether the proposal relates to military service or civilian employment. ACT, Texas Lone Star Chapter 100, 56 FLRA 432, 433 (2000) (Lone Star II) aff'd ACT, Texas Lone Star Chapter 100 v. FLRA, 250 F.3d 778 (D.C. Cir. 2000). This is consistent with ACT, Schenectady, 230 F.3d at 379, which held:
But the status of the technicians at the time of the negotiation cannot matter. No one would claim that § 976(c) permitted the union to bargain about the type of uniform the technicians would wear when they were called to full-time duty (or training, see 32 U.S.C. § 502(a)(1)). What does matter [ v58 p31 ] is the substance of the proposal to be negotiated. See United States Dep't of the Navy v. FLRA, 952 F.2d 1434, 1440-42 (D.C. Cir. 1992).
Section § 976(c) prohibits negotiations "on behalf of members of the armed forces, concerning the terms or conditions of service of such members." The proposal in this case concerns "military training duties," which are defined as duties required for all members of the National Guard, whether or not employees, "designed to impart or measure proficiency in a military skill" and requiring the achievement of "a specified level of achievement." Examples of such duties include "rifle qualifications" and "training in the wear of garments designed to afford protection from chemical weapons." Proposal 9-2b(1). It is clear that the military training duties that are the subject of the proposal are military skills required because an individual is a member of the National Guard -- not skills based in the individual's civilian status. As a result, it is also clear, that the military training duties constitute a "condition of service" under § 976(c).
Paragraph 5 of the proposal conditions the assignment of military training duties on a variety of requirements, including bargaining over the impact and implementation of the assignment and 30 days' notice to affected employees. These requirements, among others, clearly "concern" the military training duties that, in turn, constitute the "condition of service" under § 976(c). As a result, we find that paragraph 5, if within the duty to bargain, would require the Agency to "negotiate . . . concerning the terms or conditions of service" of members of the armed forces and, as a result, runs afoul of § 976(c). [n2] Because paragraph 5 of the proposal is inconsistent with § 976(c), it is outside the duty to bargain under §7117 of the Statute and, because the Union's request to sever the proposal is denied, the petition for review as to the entire proposal should be dismissed. [n3]
VII. Order
The petition for review is dismissed.
(a) Under regulations prescribed by the Secretary of the Army or the Secretary of the Air Force, as the case may be, and subject to subsections (b) and (c), persons may be employed as technicians in --
(1) the administration and training of the National Guard; and
(2) the maintenance and repair of supplies issued to the National Guard or the armed forces.
(b) Except as authorized in subsection (c), a person employed under subsection (a) must meet each of the following requirements:
(1) Be a military technician (dual status) as defined in section 10216(a) of title 10.
(2) Be a member of the National Guard.
(3) Hold the military grade specified by the Secretary concerned for that position.
(4) While performing duties as a military technician (dual status), wear the uniform appropriate for the member's grade and component of the armed forces.
10 U.S.C. § 976(c)
(c) It shall be unlawful for any person--
(1) to enroll in a military labor organization any member of the armed forces or to solicit or accept dues or fees for such an organization from any member of the armed forces; or
(2) to negotiate or bargain, or attempt through any coercive act to negotiate or bargain, with any civilian officer or employee, or any member of the armed forces, on behalf of members of the armed forces, concerning the terms or conditions of service of such members;
(3) to organize or attempt to organize, or participate in, any strike, picketing, march, demonstration, or other similar form of concerted action involving members of the armed forces that is directed against the Government of the United States and that is intended to [ v58 p32 ] induce any civilian officer or employee, or any member of the armed forces, to--
(A) negotiate or bargain with any person concerning the terms or conditions of service of any member of the armed forces,
(B) recognize any military labor organization as a representative of individual members of the armed forces in connection with any complaint or grievance of any such member arising out of the terms or conditions of service of such member in the armed forces, or
(C) make any change with respect to the terms or conditions of service in the armed forces of individual members of the armed forces; or
(4) to use any military installation, facility, reservation, vessel, or other property of the United States for any meeting, march, picketing, demonstration, or other similar activity for the purpose of engaging in any activity prohibited by this subsection or by subsection (b) or (d).
File 1: Authority's Decision in 58 FLRA No.
9 and Appendix
File 2: Opinion of Chairman Cabaniss
Footnote # 1 for 58 FLRA No. 9 - Authority's Decision
Chairman Cabaniss' concurring opinion is set forth at the end of this decision.
Footnote # 2 for 58 FLRA No. 9 - Authority's Decision
We reject the Union's argument that the proposalis within the duty to bargain because it concerns the assignment of duties as civilian work. This argument ignores the precedent, discussed above, holding that the prohibition in § 976(c) applies to terms of military service during time of civilian employment, as well as times of active duty. We also reject the Union's argument that the negotiability of this proposal is supported by the Authority's decision in ACT, Pennsylvania, 29 FLRA at 1300-01. The Authority found that proposal in that case "in no manner determines or affects" a military matter. Id. In contrast, the proposal here has significant effects on a military matter.
Footnote # 3 for 58 FLRA No. 9 - Authority's Decision
Because we find that the proposal is outside the duty to bargain based on 10 U.S.C. § 976(c), we do not address the remaining arguments in this case, including the Union's challenge to the Authority's doctrine that "military aspects of civilian employment" are outside the duty to bargain.

DDoS attacks appear to be morphing from volumetric battering rams into sophisticated, highly targeted and extremely angry political point-scoring systems, a detailed survey of large enterprises and data centre managers has found.
Ask any enterprise-level manager for their experience of DDoS attacks and the results are likely to be interesting but the opinions of Arbor Networks' 193 customers used to compile its 8th Worldwide Infrastructure Security Report count more than most.
The respondents were all drawn from the very people who are now in the crosshairs of globalised, state-of-the-art DDoS; very large data centre operators, the ISPs that provide the pipes to those centres, and the big multinationals that consume such services.
Peer into the 100 pages of findings and it is not a surprise that, as with last year, the top motivation for DDoS is still seen as political and ideological (33 percent), ahead of online gaming (31 percent), and nihilism/vandalism (27 percent).
More than half said they were worried about the potential for DDoS attacks to turn into Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs) – code for state-sponsored industrial espionage against another country's economic base – with 22 percent having experienced such attacks on corporate networks.
And while large DDoS attacks are still an issue, it is clear that even as average attack size has grown to above 1Gbps volume alone is no longer the most feared type of assault.
Attackers are now able to throw multi-vector DDoS at networks in which a mixture of volume, state-exhaustion and application-layer assaults are mixed to form a cocktail that can be hugely challenging to cope with.
In 2011, these were reported by 27 percent of respondents, a figure that grew in 2012 to 46 percent.
A good example of this type of attack would be the 'Operation Ababil' attacks against the US financial sector that started last September, Arbor said. These also looked suspiciously like APTs in that they were able to muster a wide array of attack designs and tools, adjusting them in real time for maximum effect.
Disturbingly, "these attacks were very much premeditated, focused, advertised before the fact, and executed in a coordinated and organized manner," Arbor said.
According to Arbor, such attacks show up the limitations of perimeter firewalls, which suffer from having been designed in an age before DDoS existed in its contemporary form. A third said firewalls had 'failed' during attacks, a theme that Arbor will be happy to remind the world of given that its business involves selling specialised replacements fot this type of kit.
One conclusion is that the growth in targeted attacks on specific sectors such as finance should give companies reason to pay attention to which customers they share data centre space with. Pick a data centre popular with a target sector that is attacked and everyone using that space will be affected.
Another is that many DDoS victims see little or no reason to report attacks because the chances of tracing the culprit are so remote.
Fifty-three percent said they had not referred any DDoS attacks to law enforcement, although this is improving year-on-year. Another common reason cited was a lack of time to compile incident reports, which suggests that bureaucracy could be getting in the way of accurate intelligence.

See Arizona Sheriffs and search free public sheriff records. Sheriffs are law enforcement officers which enforce laws and keep public order. Sheriffs are usually elected by their regional counties.
A sheriff is an elected law enforcement official for a county. Sheriffs usually have policing jurisdiction over unincorporated areas of the county, though in some states, sheriffs have jurisdiction throughout the state.
In many locations, the sheriff also runs the county jail.
The sheriff keeps records on criminal arrests, incidents reported to the sheriff, traffic collision reports, and other records. Many of these records are available to the public.
The Sheriff's Office keeps a number of records. This includes records on crimes committed in the sheriff's jurisdiction, traffic incidents, and other records produced in the course of the sheriff's business. If the sheriff is charged with running the county jail, the Sheriff's Office will also have jail records.
The Sheriff's Office makes arrest reports and incident reports. Arrest reports contain basic information about the arrest, including the name of those arrested, the location, and the number of charges. If an individual resisted arrest or the patrol officer used force, this will be recorded in the arrest report.
The Sheriff's Office also produces incident reports. This includes accident reports, citizen reports of crimes, and 911 calls for assistance. Incident reports list the time, location, and nature of the incident, as well as any injuries or weapons found at the scene.
Arrest reports and incident reports are often included in summary logs produced by the Sheriff's Office. These summary logs are typically available to the public, and they can be searched through online databases maintained by local Sheriff's Offices.
Sheriffs may request that certain records remain sealed if they believe public access might endanger those involved in the case or hamper the investigation. Some of these files may be available in court records after the conclusion of the case.
In some locations, the sheriff runs the county jail. Where that is the case, the sheriff can also provide information on current or former inmates, including the facility housing the prisoner, the release date, and the court that charged the prisoner. Some Sheriff's Offices provide online inmate locators.
In addition to arrest records and incident reports, Sheriff's Offices also have records on their operations. This includes annual reports, strategic plans, and in some cases, department manuals.
Many sheriff department records are available online. If they are not, you can file a records request with the Sheriff's Office or request documents by email, telephone, or in person.

There is no event more obviously tailored to the internet's capabilities than the Olympics. It combines an enormous number of statistics derived from a vast array of sports, and sets them before an actively engaged worldwide population to discuss, tweet, like and recommend. It allows for fetishistic watching and rewatching of Spain in the water polo or of Chris Hoy's front wheel. Olympian predictability makes it an ideal event to throw money and journalists and innovation at, as if there were no tomorrow, or indeed no other news that needed covering.
The Olympics in many ways mirrors what happens to information itself in a live and connected world. A small number of events gather a huge amount of attention, but the attention is split over many different types of consumption. A social event only becomes more social under the lens of global interest.
There are 21,000 fully accredited journalists at the Games, and possibly as many as 40,000 uncredited ones. The web traffic statistics are, as one might expect, showing dizzying levels of increase. The Guardian site, for instance, has seen unique users reach more than 4.5 million in one day – the highest numbers since the London riots of almost exactly a year ago.
Yet a rise of 30% across its network seems modest by comparison with the BBC, which has seen a 100% increase in its sports traffic across every one of its services. The red button interactive guide to all sports had been used by 20 million people in the first few days of the event, according to the impressively frequent tweets of Roger Mosey, the head of Olympics coverage. The official Olympics site set up live cameras at events, which quickly gathered hundreds of thousands of Twitter followers. The whole shooting match (and yes, the shooting match had nearly 4 million BBC viewers thanks to Peter Wilson) reaffirms the articles of faith concerning mass media events, but on different terms.
What can be extrapolated from these waves of positive statistics are a number of universal truths about the nature of digital coverage and audiences. First, the relationship between media operators and technology is at its best when it is actively trying to give people what they want. Secondly, it is at its worst (as NBC's peerlessly awful efforts in the US show) when preventing people from getting what they want. The howls of Americans that NBC prevented from accessing live events, in order to save highlights for the primetime shows, were loud enough to be heard across the Atlantic. For broadcasters to construct schedules and programmes around the premise that the internet does not exist is foolish.
Audiences could not believe that there was live coverage of everything available, yet they could not access it. Frantic hacking of proxy servers and the BBC iPlayer ensued, but NBC stuck to its guns of partial coverage (BBC radio programmes in the US were also blocked for the duration of the games, lest someone accidentally heard 5 Live's description of the UK losing the diving). For those who wanted to know who was responsible for NBC's decisions not to cover the opening ceremony or large tranches of the Games live, the Independent's Guy Adams helpfully published a name and a corporate email address on Twitter, only to have his account suspended. Isn't this what the second screen is all about? If NBC had followed Mosey's lead, none of this would have happened.
Giving people what they want might be a stated aim of commercial media, but it is seldom the actual truth. In another wrinkle to London 2012's otherwise smooth PR facade, an enterprising individual was blocked after writing a piece of code that sent a tweet every time spare tickets became available.
When live events attract a worldwide audience, the audience now brings its own infrastructure with it. The "second screen" is not a passive experience, but one where people share information and make up for the deficits of what is on the first screen. London 2012 is the first "social media Olympics", but it might well be the last to run on a timetable dictated by television schedules rather than spectator demand.

I've been on a Mid-Century Modern architecture kick lately, so I dug out this Kodachrome my brother took in 1961 on the campus of Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo. Interesting combination of study areas housed in this 1959 Bauhaus-y building. Looking at the arrangement of those window panels, I can't help thinking of Redwood High School in Larkspur, which opened in 1958. This building (now Mathematics and Science) is still there, although this view is mostly obscured by what is apparently that spindly sapling, now grown to gigantic proportions. Not Julius Shulman, but a nice shot, I think.

The Avengers was one of our favorite movies of the year, in large part because it avoided excessive clutter, with just one villain and mostly characters we'd met in previous Marvel Studios movies. But now, it turns out that if Joss Whedon had gone with some of his earlier ideas, the film could have been a lot more overstuffed.
Last night, Whedon attended a special screening of The Avengers at the Director's Guild of America, and revealed that he wanted to include a second villain in the film, alongside Loki. (He wouldn't reveal who, because that villain might still appear in another Marvel movie.) According to Cinemablend, Whedon said that he was concerned that just one villain might not cut it, against all of Earth's mightiest heroes:
I definitely felt like I have Earth's Mightiest Heroes, I have four of the biggest, baddest…just the toughest guys out there – and I have one effete British character actor.
But he ended up feeling as though Tom Hiddleston was his "ace in the hole," because he was "so compelling and commanding and gracious about it" that Whedon realized he could build the film around Loki trying to get in the Avengers' heads.
Meanwhile, Whedon also revealed that there was a time when they weren't sure if Scarlett Johansson would be available to be in The Avengers — so Whedon had planned to introduce the Wasp as the film's female lead. But the problem he ran into was that he was having too much fun with the Wasp, and she was crowding out the other characters:
There was a very Wasp-y draft that I wrote – but it was way too Wasp-y. Because I was like, 'She adorable! I'm just going to write her!'
Luckily, Johansson turned out to be available after all — but Whedon sounds as though he enjoyed writing the Wasp so much, he might find a way to use her at some point. Tons more info at the link. [Cinemablend]
