The Chicago Police Department is increasing its use of social media and text messaging as tools for the public in its battle against crime in the city, bringing the CAPS program into the digital age.
Mayor Emanuel and Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy announced a pilot program Monday, twenty years after the Chicago Alternative Policing Strategy was established.
McCarthy said the program allows police to use Twitter to share information on beat meetings with residents, to "continue to build strong cooperation" between police and the community. Residents will also be able to watch and participate in community beat meetings online.
"They can submit questions virtually from the comfort of their own home and their computer," McCarthy said.
The site will also be used for getting the word out on business and community alerts in real time, along with missing person reports.
"This is part of the mayor's and mine shared vision" for improving communication between residents and police," McCarthy said.
The pilot program will only involve three police districts at first, but there are plans of expanding it to all districts very soon. The pilot areas include District 7, District 11 and District 18, which house Englewood, Harrison and the Gold Coast.
McCarthy also announced a series of changes to the department's community policing program on Monday. The new efforts let people anonymously send crime tips, videos and photos to the 911 system directly from the scene, via text message.
Emergency dispatchers will send those anonymous photos and videos to laptops inside police patrol cars.
"This will help our responding officers to understand and actually have eyes on the ground to the incidents they are responding to," McCarthy said.
"If we have a picture of a criminal committing a crime and we're approaching the scene, we might catch them two blocks away," he added.
"If I see something in my neighborhood, I would tweet right where I'm walking or riding the bus," Englewood resident Keneenin Milton says.
Milton says tweeting or texting is a more discreet way to tip off police than picking up the phone, but Clara Kirk warns most living in high crime areas won't participate.
"Maybe zero…or five.. not many. Probably older people will do it," Kirk says.
Clara Kirk has run not-for-profit company, West Englewood United Organization, which has been helping homeless and battered women and children for 25 years. She says retaliation is a real fear and mistrust of police is too widespread.
Superintendent McCarthy says that is why the department is revitalizing community policing and getting beat cops on the same streets every day to build relationships.
Authorities promise to keep all tips anonymous.
The city is also about to unveil a re-designed, more user friendly Chicago Police web site.
Monday's changes come after a particularly violent holiday weekend. At least 10 people died and about five dozen others were wounded in a series of shootings since Wednesday night.
To report a crime, text a tip to Chicago police by
texting CRIMES (2-7-4-6-3-7) and start the message with "CPD" or tweet to the districts: @ChicagoCAPS07, @ChicagoCAPS11, and @ChicagoCAPS18.

German Social Survey (ALLBUS), 1996 (ICPSR 2005)
Principal Investigator(s): Zentralarchiv fuer Empirische Sozialforschung and Zentrum fuer Umfragen, Methoden und Analysen (ZUMA)
The German Social Survey monitors social trends in Germany. The central topics of the 1996 survey were attitudes toward ethnic minority groups, immigrant groups, and foreigners living in Germany. The survey elicited respondents' attitudes toward dual citizenship, the civil rights of foreigners, perceived cultural differences, advocating the teaching of Islam in the schools, various manifestations of anti-Semitism, and the distribution of foreigners in East and West Germany. Respondents were also queried on the first, second, or third country of citizenship and origin for themselves, for their spouse or living partner, and for their parents, and immigrants were asked how long they had been living in Germany. In addition, attitudes toward family, marriage, and partnership, the roles of women in the family, and the importance of special learning goals for children were collected. Other items probed for respondents' perceptions of the state and government, including attitudes toward various forms of protest against the government as well as toward increasing or decreasing government expenditures for environmental protection, public health, defense, unemployment, pensions, and culture. Additional topics included the economic situation and fear of unemployment, abortion, social inequality, political interests, things that a German can be proud of, and the Inglehart Index of respondent materialism/post-materialism category, coded according to which national goals the respondent thought should be given top priority: maintaining order and protecting freedom of speech, or giving people more say in important government decisions and fighting rising prices. Basic demographic characteristics of respondents were also collected, such as age, gender, education, occupation, religion, personal and household income, household size and composition, and marital status.

Thanks for reminding me to get everything in writing before allowing any work to be done! I was told roughly $300 for 1.5 hours of work and parts. Your employee completed the job in well under an hour and still quoted me the same price even when he admitted he worked for 30 minutes less than he quoted. If an hourly rate applies then it should reflect in the final cost! I'm sure if it took two hours the bill would have gone up. In addition, nobody called me 30 minutes prior to arrival. The plumber said "the office usually handles that."
After I took time to call the office, almost $70 came off the bill.
nate's great service – They come when they say they call to let you know they are on the way. Its great, I trust them and their technicians are friendly, respectful and informative. Nate came today and solved my issue quickly and efficiently.
Great Staff – These guys don't play around when it comes to unclogging drains, they brung in some type of long coil and got right to work. Fast and on time.
Bill Howe= Problem Solver – Same as always. The Bill Howe team gets it done! Pattric N. (Tech), arrived precisely on schedule, explained my options, and got to work. Very soon, problem solved. He also provided excellent information to help me avoid future problems. Saturday, so overtime rates were in effect. Still very reasonable. Highly recommended!
The Goto Plumbers in San Diego – I have called on Bill Howe to save me a few times over the years, and the company and it skilled and professional employees have never failed me. Their prices are reasonable, especially for the level of trust in them I have developed.
Trust is important, and I trust the folks at Bill Howe Plumbing to be on time, efficient, always successful, and I have always felt comfortable with the pricing -- especially considering their 24/7 service and rapid response to wide-ranging problems.
The Bill Howe brand is to plumbing as the Apple brand is to computing: it just works, plain and simple.
Great Service and they stand behind it! – I had several plumbing problems. Art Brant came out right on time. He was prompt, professional, and responsible. He took the time to explain what was happening and what could be done to fix it. He didn't insist on doing the most expensive thing, instead he went over my options and let me decide.
Then, when one item continued to act up the next day, Matt Nealey returned first thing to address the problem with no service charge (I did have to pay cost of parts, of course). He also identified another larger problem that needed correcting, and corrected it before it became serious. Thank goodness!
The issue Matt discovered was with the main water valve. It was failing, and only a matter of time before much more serious problems developed. Matt worked outside in the blazing sun for over an hour to solve the problem. He could have just put a "band-aid" on it, but he took the time to do what needed to be done. If that weren't enough, after he was done outside (a miserable job, I can tell you) Matt went all around the house with me to answer any questions and make sure everything was working properly. Not an easy task after all the work he had done. A real professional!
Great value, great service, and great people. I've used Bill Howe Plumbing for years.
Simply the best! Very happy with my experience. – When I sprang another leak under my toilet I knew it was finally time to get all of my plumbing problems solved. I had some long overdue repairs to my bathrooms and kitchen that needed attention and my water heater was barely putting out any hot water anymore. I had my Dad coming to San Diego for a visit in 4 days so I had to get things taken care of right away. I did my research on Yelp and decided to have Bill Howe Plumbing come out to give me a quote as well as the other highly reviewed plumbing company on Yelp. I had the great fortune of having Rick Diamond come to my home to give me a quote for Howe Plumbing. I was impressed with his knowledge and professionalism from the moment he entered my home. On went the shoe covers and we began the tour of the many, many things that needed fixing. I was very impressed that he looked at what I explained needed fixing and then thoroughly explained all of my options with regards to possible repairs. He provided me with the knowledge that I needed, to make good decisions as to how to proceed within my budget. We went through all of my rooms and he addressed each repair individually and offered suggestions which were extremely helpful to me. In the end I had my water heater replaced with copper supply lines, had a new kitchen faucet installed, a new garbage disposal unit installed, had shut off valves and risers installed on all the plumbing fixtures, new tub plugs installed, as well as new toilet flappers on my toilets. After coming to my home to see the proposed work, he promised to have my estimate ready to go that same day, and as promised, he provided me with a typewritten estimate that very same day.
I had the "other" company come over to quote the same work and my experience was vastly different. Contrary to my experience with Rick, they had me writing down the pricing with my pen in hand and only offered me "ballpark" figures for low and high end pricing. The estimate that was given by the other company was vague and overpriced. It was immediately obvious to me that the service person from the competing company did not have the knowledge and professionalism that Rick Diamond so obviously had. I decided to go with Howe Plumbing and I am very, very glad that I did. We arranged for the repair to be done two days later since I had to notify my HOA that the water would need to be turned off. On the designated day, Rick showed up on time and began the extensive work that we had scheduled. He did a wonderful job installing my garbage disposal unit and new kitchen faucet. He even scraped off the calcium that had built up on my sink over many years so that my faucet and sink look like new. He did an amazing job installing 8 shut off valves throughout my condo under tight time constraints, and efficiently installed my water heater with safety straps. I was impressed with the pride that Rick takes in the work that he does and in the quality of his work. With Rick, you get what you pay for - and more! He is five stars all the way --- I'd give him an even higher rating if I could. Whether it was the smallest repair or the biggest repair, he gave each project his full attention and did a beautiful job. I just can't say enough about how wonderful he was to work with.
My experience with Howe Plumbing and Rick Diamond in particular was great. I will definitely use this company again for all of my plumbing needs. It is nice to know that there are professionals out there that take pride in their work and deliver what they promise....and more. My experience with this company, and Rick in particular, was great, don't hesitate to call them, you won't be sorry that you did.
Rick Diamond and Bill Howe did a great job! – Rick Diamond arrived ahead of when promised, was courteous and professional. He assessed the situation and quoted $550 for the job. He had to leave to get parts to complete the tasks at hand, took care of an added situation, and, in the end, deducted the travel-time needed to get those parts. The total cost of the entire job was $100 less than originally quoted. I know I won't always need a plumber. I also know the final cost won't always be lower than quoted, but, Rick Diamond did Bill Howe Plumbing proud. He did me proud. Should I have a need for a plumber in the future, rest assured I'll be calling Bill Howe Plumbing. Thank you, Rick. Thank you, Bill Howe.
The Best Contractors in San Diego – I originally hired Bill Howe plumbing to run gas to my kitchen for a new range. I could not be more impressed with their customer service! Jose and Antonio did an incredible job with the drywall repairs, seamlessly restoring everything with the existing walls. They even removed the remaining popcorn on the untouched ceiling, and textured it all so it would match. They did that at no extra cost!! Great guys! Their boss, Derick was the most pleasant contractor I've ever had the pleasure to deal with! He made sure to keep me in the loop the whole time, and walked me through everything. When I called at the end of the job, he made an appointment right away with me to ensure my satisfaction! These guys are going to be my go-to contractors, and they should really be yours! Hire Bill Howe, and don't think twice about it!
Bill Howe Rocks – I am tremendously impressed by Mike Mason and apprentice Shawn of Bill Howe Plumbing. Scheduling a same day service call was a breeze — thanks to a wonderfully helpful scheduler — and Mike and Shawn came — right on time — to a job at my mom's house in Del Cerro. Their work matched the estimate, they were kind enough to provide a senior citizen's discount to my mom, they completed the work with dispatch and they were generous enough to spend time educating us about an area drain problem we've had for a decade. Mike's smarts, experience and efficiency, and the warmth of both Mike and Shawn ensure that all of our future work will be done by Bill Howe, hopefully by Mike and Shawn. In fact, Mike was so informative about the area drain problem that we've just requested that he return to the house today to undertake the drain clearing we've put off all these years. Both Mike and Shawn mentioned how happy they are to work for a family-owned company, which was exactly why we called Bill Howe in the first place. These guys rock and they contribute to the good name of the company in the community. Never again will I be leery of calling a plumber and although I'm confident that all Bill Howe's folks are great, I'll always request Mike and Shawn.

It's time for the NBA playoffs. Plus, there's baseball and spring football on TV.
Thank God it's Good Friday.
Baseball is back, so come talk about it in our MLB open thread.
Worst case scenarios for two key members of the Reds' offense.
Why does the MLS have fewer players convicted of crimes than other national sports?
There aren't many position players who are able to post high WAR totals without hitting a lot of home runs, but this special group is the exception to the rule.
While there are many examples of power hitters who frequently strikeout, is there any significant correlation between home runs and strikeout rate?

Install the media server you've always wanted but never got around to doing, or fine-tune your hardware to squeeze out a few more hours of battery power ... All this an more in this week's How To Roundup. Oh, and send us your favourite Linux tricks.
This document explains how to set up the VMware Tools in the following guest operating systems: Ubuntu 7.04, Fedora 7, PCLinuxOS 2007 and Debian Etch. Installing VMware Tools in your guest operating systems will help maximize performance, provide mouse synchronization and copy & paste functionality. This article also shows a way of making VMware Tools start automatically when you start a guest operating system.
The gnome main menu applet was created as another effort for people to try and use awn and get rid of all their gnome bars. Well as another stride in this direction more has been added to this applet.
So I keep hearing all these great improvements coming down the pipe for KDE and v4.0. I know much of it is available in the repositories and while considered beta at this stage when have I been afraid of a little bleeding edge?
Yep, that's right - We need you! Radio Amarok is currently in it's Research and Development phase, and we're looking for Artists to showcase on the station.
Welcome to the Ubuntu Weekly Newsletter, Issue #59 for the week September 23rd - September 29th, 2007. In this issue we cover the Ubuntu 7.10 Beta release, newly approved LoCo team and Ubuntu members , LoCos participating in Ohio LinuxFest 2007, and, as always, much much more!
Now that I am using Gutsy and a Ubuntu based wallpaper background, I thought I would make a Ubuntu theme for awn and share it with all of you.
This is a very simple guide that will teach you how to Install Ubuntu linux on the PS3 and to get more out of your powerful system. Firstly, Download the Official PS3 Ubuntu Linux 7.04 Feisty Fawn ISO file and burn it to CD (It is recommended you use a download manager).
While I may be taking Seopher.com away from being completely Linux oriented, it's impossible for the impending release of Ubuntu 7.10 to be completely overlooked. Let's take a look at the newly released Gutsy Gibbon Beta to see quite how big a splash the Gibbon is going to make.
Some time ago I saw this post about a super horizontal/vertical resize algorithm which preserves the proportions of what is important on an image. Yesterday I was reading unread posts on Planet Ubuntu when I saw this post of Jorge Bernal where he says that already exists a plugin for GIMP of this algorithm (this is why I love free software).
In my last article, I said that musikCube had support for Last.fm through a plugin. You might be wondering what is Last.fm, even if you jumped quickly to their frontpage.Last.fm is, to quote them:
The Canary Islands have two derivatives of Kubuntu, one which is being installed in all their schools and one used by the largest university. The Jornadas de Software Libre conference at The University of La Laguna, took place in Tenerife, Canary Islands, Spain, from the 18th-21st September 2007. It was organised by the university's Software Libre Office (OSL).
On various women's mailing lists, a subscriber has raised the idea of a distribution developed "for and by women." So far, the idea has met with a cool reception. It might even be a troll. However, if such a distro ever gets underway, it would be very much in the spirit of the community, and might give more women the background and confidence to reduce the gender gap in free software.
In this screencast we look at creating multiple user accounts with different access rights and use the new fast user switcher to switch between users.
NOTE: I used Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy) for this screencast. Gutsy is currently not yet released so I would not recommend running it yet on production systems.
The idea is floating around again: Let's make a special Linux distribution for women! We're smarter than that, aren't we? I say, let's spare ourselves and the world yet another pointless and less-than-useful version of Linux.
Are you a crafter of icons, sounds, backgrounds and splash screens, or even window manager themes? Selecting the right license for your artwork to coexist with free software is no trivial task. Creative Commons (CC) and Free Software Foundation (FSF) licenses each have their advantages, but they are mutually incompatible. The two groups are beginning to move toward simplifying the situation, but in the meantime there are several things you can do to make license compatibility easier.
In this screencast we look at updating the system with packages from Ubuntu repositories and upgrading systems from one release to another. We show:-
My good friend Daniel asked me yesterday how to change Firefox so that Shift+Enter auto-completes *.org instead of *.net. After about a 2 minute google session, I had the answer to share with everybody.
Ubuntu automatically starts playing audio or video discs when you insert them into CD/DVD drive.If you want to turnoff this use the following tip.
Songbird is a cross-platform, Mozilla-based music player with high ambitions. The app is still undergoing heavy development, but it has come a long way since we looked at the 0.1 release in 2006. Songbird today can sing a pretty sweet tune, but to push its way into the big leagues, it needs to get over its own interface.
Ladies and Gentleman, Boys and Girls, Cats and Dogs, Sheep and Goats, Ace Of Bass, Boys 2 Men…erm…, anyway, I am pleased to point your already curious noses in the direction of the Ubuntu 7.10 Gutsy Gibbon Beta Release. It is out, and it needs testing. And, guess what? This is where you 'orrible lot come in.
UPDATE: For those running VMware Server 1.0.3 there is an updated version available.
As I mentioned a few posts ago (How to Install VMware Server on Ubuntu 7.04) I would be outlining how to install VMware Server on Ubuntu 7.10.
In this screencast we look at how to install applications under Ubuntu. This includes:-

The Corsage: Prom's Hottest Accessory
"Mullet" gowns are trendy, platform stilettos are in, but the real breakout item for prom 2013 is the corsage. Once a slightly dowdy accessory, now clever DIY'ers (and some florists) are using rhinestones, feathers, LED lights, and found objects to make one-of-kind pieces that are modern and sassy—and cheap. Prom costs are soaring and shoppers can expect to spend a bare minimum of $25 on a store-bought corsage. If you want to make your own, the always-hip Rookie Mag has an easy tutorial. Here are our favorites from Instagram.

Award-winning eNook Standard is a compact wall-mounted workspace with a channel to plug in & charge your electronic devices. A true space-saver, the top door flips down to become a handy desk. The fabric-covered panel even serves as a bulletin board. And when you're done, flip up the door to lock your laptop out of sight. Choose from a wide range of color & fabric combinations to match your décor.
Designed like a Murphy Bed, the desk shelf flips up to close and safely locks computer equipment out of sight. Then with a simple press of the push-to-open mechanical touch door latch, the damper-assisted mechanism safely eases the shelf down to reveal a roomy work surface. When closed, eNook Standard is just 7" deep.
At the bottom of the eNook there's a separate area to plug in all your gadgets and hide all your cords. The bottom locking door covers a 6-outlet power strip (included) and plenty of room for cables. The back frame is open, so power and network outlets can go right behind the unit.
Save valuable floor space with the wall-mounted eNook that measures only 35" wide x 7" deep x 25.5" high. The top door opens to provide a 30"wide x 15.5" deep work surface, perfect for your laptop.
Contents stay secure with the keyed locks on the work surface and cable area doors. One key opens both doors, with two keys provided for your convenience.
These simple clips snap and twist to help manage your cables. Poke the clips into any of the ventilation holes on the top, back or side of your eNook. Then just twist the ends of the clips to keep the cables neatly in place.
Though small in size, the wall-mounted workstation holds a hefty 45 pounds overall. McRory Pediatrics uses eNook in their treatment rooms with children who receive occupational, speech, and other therapies. The desk surface (which holds 30 lbs.) supports their laptops and materials, then closes during sessions to reduce distractions.
With a spacious interior at 5.25" deep, there's plenty of room for all of your gadgets. Install up to four Accessory Shelves (sold separately) to organize your electronic devices. Remember to leave room to store your laptop!
The side and top panels are ventilated to keep air moving so your equipment stays cool.
With a variety of panel fabric and laminate options, you'll find a combination to suit your décor. Fabric is available in 3 options: Blue (TB), Garnet (MG), and Gold (TG). Choose from 3 laminate finishes: Dark Cherry (DS), Maple (MS), and White (WS). Or buy the panel unfinished and customize with your own fabric.
Not sure how to get eNook onto your wall? All eNooks ship partially assembled so you're halfway there. And we provide do-it-yourself hardware and instructions for installation to wood studs and dry wall.

The eNook went up like a charm and works perfectly. Everything aligned and looks great. Thanks to all the holes around the frame I was able to nylon tie my speaker wires to hide them.

Wiki is in Ward's original description: The simplest online database that could possibly work.
Wiki is a piece of server software that allows users to freely create and edit Web page content using any Web browser. Wiki supports hyperlinks and has a simple text syntax for creating new pages and crosslinks between internal pages on the fly.
Wiki is unusual among group communication mechanisms in that it allows the organization of contributions to be edited in addition to the content itself.
Like many simple concepts, "open editing" has some profound and subtle effects on Wiki usage. Allowing everyday users to create and edit any page in a Web site is exciting in that it encourages democratic use of the Web and promotes content composition by nontechnical users.
This began on March 25, 1995. A little later (May 1, 1995), an InvitationToThePatternsList? caused an increase in participation. Growth has continued since then, to the point where the average number of new pages ranges between 5 and 12 per day.
WardsWikiTenthAnniversary? occurred on March 25, 2005. At that time, we had about 30690 pages.
[klick for more informations]
A wiki usually has a link at the bottom of the page that reads Edit text of this page. Anyone can click that link and then instantly add, delete or change the text or structure of the page. Or they can create a new page of their own. No authoring tool, and usually no login or permission, is required.

Lewis Burns and Nathan Peckham, two artists based in Dubbo, created a beautiful nine metre long mural located at Taronga Western Plains Zoo's koala viewing platform located within the Australian Walkabout.
Guided by Tubba-gah Elders, they worked to represent a complex story of Tubba-gah County over time.
The mural is made of three panels. The far left panel is by Nathan Peckham, the central panel pictured above was worked on collaboratively by both artists, and the third panel by Lewis Burns.
You can see the difference in their styles. This difference has enhanced the work with the layers suggesting the past, the present and the future.

Carolyn Pollack Jewelry Featured on Today Show as Gift for Families of Deployed Troops
A necklace designed and manufactured by Carolyn Pollack Jewelry will be featured on NBC's Today show tomorrow, Thursday, Feb. 7, as a Mother's Day jewelry gift chosen by Full Circle Home (FCH), a nonprofit organization that sends gift baskets to the wives and mothers of deployed troops.
The necklace, made of sterling silver and called the Mother's Infinite Love Spiral Heart Pendant, will be worn on the Today show by FCH founder Vickie Durfee and Director Lisa Miller. Durfee founded FCH in 2007 to support the special women of armed service members during their separation from loved ones deployed overseas. Through donations and corporate partnerships, FCH arranges for gift boxes to be sent on behalf of service members to the home front.
Filled with a variety of pampering products and a handwritten note from their deployed loved one, the gift boxes help to comfort and support military wives and mothers during heart-wrenching separations. FCH has sent thousands of gift boxes to women across the U.S., and to bases in Iraq and Afghanistan.
"We're so pleased to have the Carolyn Pollack necklace in our special Mother's Day boxes," said Durfee. "The lovely sterling silver heart pendant is symbolic of the strength and beauty of the women who stand behind our troops."
One of the reasons Full Circle Home chose the Carolyn Pollack silver necklace for its Mother's Day gift boxes is that the jewelry is Made in the USA, something that's very important to Durfee and the volunteers behind the unique program to support military families.
"It is an Honor to have our pendant included in the gift boxes sent to the women who sacrifice time with their loved ones while away serving our country," said Bill Pollack, president of Relios, Inc., the company behind Carolyn Pollack Jewelry. "Our jewelry is American made because we believe in America, and we especially support the sacrifices made by troops and their families."

(Note: Join us at MySpace: http://www.myspace.com/tvnewslies)
So the U.S. government wants to scan our e-mail, blogs & websites for "our own protection" - I say let's give them something good to read! Let's overload their systems.
I think every e-mail that is sent, every website and every blog should include a sentence or two that will trigger an alert. We should never say (or do) anything threatening but we should say things that can be misinterpreted by a computer. Add a trick line to every e-mail. Make it your signature. Here are some examples:
- My garden is so overcrowded that I think we will have to kill a bush or two this weekend to make room for our veggies.
- We are way behind in our paperwork but my staff is planning to attack this problem immediately.
- We were going to get married in a civil ceremony but my spouse is planning to have a mass. She wants the altar boys to wear black capes. They will look like a murder of crows!
At the end of your trick sentence you can include the phrase: "How are you doing Big Brother? Nice to see you."
So they are going to protect you by scanning my e-mail and website. So they will protect the people of America from my spelling errors. OK, let them, but if they want to violate my privacy I want to make their task tedious, annoying, aggravating and fruitless. I want to laugh in their face while they assault our Constitution because at the end of the day they know as well as I that I am the good guy and they are the criminals!
Anyway it is my opinion that we should show them that there are more of us (good people) than there are of them. We don't need them to keep us safe, we need to keep ourselves safe from them! Think about it!

Yesterday, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel [article] reported that Rice Lake Mayor Romaine R. Quinn is scheduled to appear in court on Oct. 27 for accepting a $1,609 campaign contribution, which vastly exceeded the legal limit of $250.
But Mayor Quinn, who is only 20 years old, didn't get this contribution from some shady developer or local businessman. He got it from his mom, Penny Hanson.
No, we aren't making this up.
It turns out that neither the Mayor nor his mom knew about the $250 limit. Although he doesn't face any criminal liability, Mayor Quinn will probably have to pay a sizable fine.
Campaign finance laws are unconstitutional and counterproductive, but oftentimes that is obscured by their sheer absurdity. Who in the world would think that a candidate might be corrupted by his own mother? People have issues with their parents on occasion, but they typically don't involve influence peddling. Clean your room; wear clean underwear; choose a nice girl to settle down with—perhaps. Here's $1,600, now give me that contract for garbage collection—not likely.
Unfortunately, courts typically don't recognize a "this-is-idiotic" defense. Even when courts do dismiss these kinds of complaints, it's after the accused is put through the proverbial ringer. That's a great reason to oppose campaign finance laws: They do nothing to clean up politics, but quite a lot to scare Americans out of speaking. And that's why we at the Institute for Justice have launched our nationwide Citizen Speech campaign.

Chronic Pain
Acute pain is a warning that damage is occurring to your body's tissues. In some people, pain may begin with a fall or serious infection, or an underlying medical condition, such as arthritis or cancer. Others suffer chronic pain in the absence of any past injury or evidence of body damage.
Chronic pain is longstanding pain that continues beyond the usual recovery period or occurs along with a chronic health condition. Because this type of pain is not protective, doctors refer to it as "pathological" and treat it as a condition rather than as a symptom. Chronic pain may affect people to the point that they can't work, eat properly, participate in physical activity or enjoy life.
Common chronic pain complaints include headache, low back pain, cancer pain, arthritis pain, neurogenic pain (pain resulting from damage to the peripheral nerves or to the central nervous system itself) and psychogenic pain (pain not due to past disease or injury or any visible sign of damage inside or outside the nervous system).
A person may have two or more co-existing chronic pain conditions. Conditions can include chronic fatigue syndrome, endometriosis, fibromyalgia, inflammatory bowel disease, interstitial cystitis, temporomandibular joint dysfunction and vulvodynia. It is not known whether these disorders share a common cause.
The methods used to diagnose chronic pain depend on the type of pain you're suffering.
Pain medicine specialists at the Neuroscience Institute's Comprehensive Pain Medicine Center treat chronic pain with state-of-the-art medical technology. We use a variety of techniques to manage pain, depending on its cause. They include:
- Advanced procedures for abdominal pain
- Biofeedback
- Counseling
- Disc procedures
- Epidural injections
- Facet injections
- Medication
- Minimally invasive spine surgery
- Pain pumps
- Peripheral nerve stimulators
- Physical therapy
- RACZ procedure (epidural neurolysis for spinal stenosis)
- Radiofrequency procedures
- Regional pain blocks
- Selective nerve root blocks
- Spinal cord stimulation
- Sympathetic nervous system blocks
- Trigger point injections
- Vertebroplasty
Many people with chronic pain can be helped if they understand the cause of their pain and the steps that can be taken to undo the damage that chronic pain has done. Clinicians and researchers believe that advances in neuroscience will lead to more and better treatments for chronic pain in the years to come.

It started out so promising. So how did things go south for Peter Mueller so quickly?
After averaging a point-and-a-half per game in the Western League and putting on WJC show overshadowed only by Jonathan Toews. He made the NHL as a 19 year old and potted 54 points, with the bulk of those coming in the second half. Then the bottom dropped out.
Let's attribute his slip in Year 2 (2008-09) to a sophomore slump and a concussion problem. So how do you explain four in 21 to start his third year? Let's take a stab at it.
My first instinct is to check back to last season and see how he did after the concussion versus before. He returned February 14 and finished the season with just six points in 24 games (0.25 points per game). He had 30 in 48 before that (0.625). So in all, 10 points in 45 games since being out with a concussion. He's playing scared. He's changed his game. Can he come out of it? With the right coach teaching the right lessons – definitely. And therein lies another possible answer – a new coach. Dave Tippett isn't quite as lenient or reliant on Mueller as Wayne Gretzky was.
I think he'll bounce back next season. There are legions of poolies who feel otherwise, but those are the same chumps who figured Jeff Carter would never break out playing behind Daniel Briere and Mike Richards. Young players need at least four seasons before you should consider writing them off for good, and sometimes five or even six. Granted, the signs are weak in the case of Mueller, but give it time.
So what to do with him in the meantime? Definitely write him off for this season. It doesn't look as though it will change any time soon. But watch carefully for healthy scratches (he's already had two of them), a trade, or a couple of injuries to key players like Shane Doan and Robert Lang. Any turnaround in 2009-10 will require a catalyst and the ones listed above are the best ones.
To make this season a promising one, he will need 40 points in the next 60 games. That will give him something to build on for next year and in that case you can hope for (expect?) a big break out. If Mueller can't give us that kind of promise over the next three-quarters of 2009-10, then next year he'll show that promise – and save the break out for 2011-12.
Maybe Sidney Crosby is taking the season off as well, but don't count on it. His current 0.96 points-per-game average is lower than it has been at any level in any league dating back to his pre-teen years. He'll turn it around – soon. At least 105 points this year…
Philly's Matt Carle's blazing start has settled down. He has just six points in his last 15 games after starting off with eight in five. Meanwhile, another young rearguard has caught up to him (almost) in the scoring race – Anton Stralman of the Columbus Blue Jackets. Right now, give me Stralman in a straight-up points league. I think Carle will finish in that 42- to 48-point range, whereas for Stralman I would guess 44 to 57 points. A slightly wider range since we haven't seen as much of him as we have of Carle…
David Perron is 15th on the Blues in ice time and second on the team in scoring. Andy Murray will eventually catch onto that. I still think the Blues' leading scorer this season will have 65 points and that player will be Brad Boyes. But I also believe that there will be a cluster of youth in that 50- to 60-point range. Andy McDonald will be there, but he'll be joined by Perron, Erik Johnson, T.J. Oshie and even the slumping David Backes. Paul Kariya should be in that neighborhood as well, but there is so much competition for a scoring role on this team that he is being shouldered out by youth. There is still gas in Kariya's tank, but you probably won't see it being used in St. Louis. Youth has been served and Perron is leading the way.

Some years ago my wife asked me to read a book by Beverly Lewis, called "The Shunning." Beverly wrote about the communities we annually visit; the towns of Lancaster County, Pa. I don't read fiction but Kathy convinced me that I might enjoy it. While in Pennsylvania this fall, we visited those communities again. While we were there, a play was presented - how the Amish folks try to rebuke the rebellious attitudes of young people. Beverly's book contained a section on this which is called "Shunning."
Amish communities limit most contact with the outside world because it is full of corrupt ideas and sinful people. Amish elders believe that young people just cannot see the presence of the world's evil. When I read the book I felt it was rather slow and uneventful but the emotions of the actors in her play made this event very powerful. We were two rows from the back of the auditorium. There were two ladies behind us and one in my row. When the moment came that the Amish turned their backs and could have no more contact with the offender, it provoked an emotional response from the lady next to me. She stifled a spiritual moan, her hands twisted together, her crossed leg began to shake and it was all she could do to quiet the angst in her soul. Her throat constricted to the point she had to cough to breathe. It was obvious she had undertaken this rejection and was still an outsider with unforgiven family obligations. God's spirit yearned to comfort her. I can understand the Amish wanting to keep their children from the influence of the world; we "outsiders" have our own troubles keeping our children focused on spiritual truth and the power of sin. Parents have the same desire the Amish do -keeping our children from wrong choices. Who is to say if there is a better way than that which the Amish practice? Most of us realize that every person is on a collision course with the world's influence - perhaps the Amish are more aware of sin than we are. At the end, the actors gathered to greet all who were there. I asked how they could bring such emotion night after night (for eight months). Their response was they have witnessed the grace of God themselves and want the world to know the truth of his awesome forgiveness.

The case for Nani staying at Old Trafford
The speculation grows over Nani's future, with rumours that Manchester United are asking for £8.5 million in return for his services. The talented but inconsistent winger has frustrated many of his own supporters over the years, but there is still a sense that his departure would be premature.
Nani has a year left on his contract, and so the risk is that he will leave next summer for nothing. Arguably the greater risk, though, is that he will leave Old Trafford at a time when the club has a dearth of truly penetrative dribblers.
Nani, for all his faults -- and they are several -- remains, on his day, one of Europe's most dangerous attackers, and before his red card in the UEFA Champions League against Real Madrid, he was on finer form than even Angel di Maria, who at that time was the leading assist-maker in the competition.
- Galatasaray fail in bid for Nani
Of course, the much-mooted replacement for Nani at Old Trafford, one James Rodriguez, was instead enticed by the tax-free riches of Monaco, where having left Porto he will be lining up alongside Radamel Falcao and his old stablemate, Joao Moutinho. Elsewhere across the continent, brilliant wingers -- no matter how mercurial -- are in relatively rare supply. Jesus Navas has already found his way to Manchester City, while Willian, for whom Manchester United were never really in the chase, was signed in spring by Anzhi Makhachkala.
It's not as though Manchester United have been inattentive to their needs in this area -- witness their ultimately fruitless pursuit of Lucas Moura last summer, and their recent acquisition of Wilfried Zaha -- but as it stands, they are low on experienced playmakers. The retention of Nani for one last season, to see whether he might flourish under David Moyes, seems to be the most prudent option.
Nani's future, of course, raises an intriguing question about Moyes and the extent to which he can rejuvenate the Portuguese forward's Old Trafford career. This new dynamic, of not having a manager whom he so often disappointed, will suit Nani well; as, indeed, will the memory that just three seasons previously he was his club's player of the year, amassing almost 20 assists. Were he to part company with Manchester United now, they would be left with only Zaha, Antonio Valencia and Ashley Young, the latter two of whom are functional players at best.
The smart money, then, should be on Nani hanging around. The team's concerns in central midfield are well documented; he should not be allowed to wander out of the door, and create another.

With 2013 on its way out, we're taking a look back at the most outrageous, unusual and (occasionally) funny police stories from the area in the past year.

Cops Pose a 15 year old, Catch Internet Predators:
It was Monday afternoon and Radnor Police Superintendent William Colarulo and Detective T.J. Schreiber were online pretending to be a 15-year-old girl who likes older men.
"Put 'Yeah with a smiley face' Colarulo said to Schreiber, who was answering the question of does she like older men.
"Put 'I'm a little scared right now. Can I trust you?'" he prompted Schreiber to write. Don't worry, the man replied. He said he would not stalk her.

The Amazing Spider-Man game is looking good, and that might have something to do with it looking like Batman: Arkham City. A demo from Spider-Man developer Beenox was going pretty much by the numbers -- open world to websling in, red and blue tights, etc. -- and then it went indoors.

 <object id="vid_44959adcc0527081009834b1ad7952e3" class="ign-videoplayer" width="468" height="263" data="http://media.ign.com/ev/prod/embed.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"><param name="movie" value="http://media.ign.com/ev/prod/embed.swf"/><param name="" value="true"/><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"/><param name="bgcolor" value="#000000"/><param name="flashvars" value="url=http://www.ign.com/videos/2012/03/13/meet-the-amazing-spider-mans-iguana"/><param name="wmode" value="opaque"/></object>
Spider-Man vs. the Iguana

From the ceiling, Spider-Man could hang and use a new power called "web rush" to execute stealth takedowns. Each enemy has a color indicator to specify their awareness of ol' webhead. And if you choose, Spidey can throw himself right into the fray with Arkham City-like attacks (complete with a multiplier counter and similar dodge counters). Heck, if you suck, Spider-Man takes damage and his suit degrades over time. Sound familiar?

My time watching Peter Parker in action was actually my first exposure to the Amazing Spider-Man, a game set in the movie universe after the events of the film and penned by Battlestar Galactica writer Seamus Fahey. As of now, not too many details are known about the premise, other than certain events reveal Peter Parker's "untold story." Oh, and Rhino and the newly announced Iguana are two of the main enemies Spider-Man will face.

I'm excited to see the open world, go anywhere Spider-Man gameplay return, although I couldn't shake how much Time Square reminds me of the version found in Prototype from a couple years ago. Some could argue that they look similar because of the locale, and there's no confirmation regarding if the game is using the same environment as Prototype with a fresh "paint job." Regardless, the city makes for some opportune webslinging moments -- amplified by the new camera position that follows right behind Spidey's movements. It's a cool effect, as long as you aren't prone to motion sickness.

Web rush is another new introduction developer Beenox is touting. It is a mode Spidey enters for the sake of slowing down time to make navigation decisions. With one button press, the game displays a destination Spider-Man can parkour and websling to with a yellow icon. This can come in handy if you quickly want to get to precise locations. A Beenox developer took Spidey from a rooftop to the top of a lamp post without having to manually direct the hero. By continuously mashing the web rush button, Spider-Man quickly maneuvered through Manhattan. Right now, the web rush movements look too jerky and unnatural when used this quickly. I was told that players will have a cool down period in retail version of the game, but the ability is upgradable.

As players navigate through Manhattan, random opportunities will appear. Aside from Peter Parker being sent on various photo missions, Beenox showcased a "police deadlock." In the demo, the NYPD was chasing a perp, and the only way to stop the bad guy was to web rush on top of the criminal's car and successfully complete a quick-time event. More random missions are in the game, but these are all that I saw.

Sadly, Beenox also didn't let me know who is voicing Spider-Man. Activision has yet to announce the voice actors for the game, but I'm hoping they can nab some notable people preferably from the Amazing Spider-Man film itself.

Curious to see how Batman fans will react once they get their hands on this game? I'm actually eager to try it out for myself, as it looked fun but I won't know until I play it. What do you think of the comparison? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below, and then check out all our info on the Amazing Spider-Man, including news on the game's new villain, Iguana.
