From expanded training opportunities at the LDInstitute to new product breakfasts, hands-on tutorials, and in-depth panel discussions, the LDI98 workshops in Phoenix offer the latest industry information on trends, techniques, and technology. Following are descriptions of the more than 50 sessions scheduled from Monday, November 9, when the LDInstitute begins, to Sunday, November 15, when the show closes. "This is one of the most ambitious workshop programs we have ever presented," says Ellen Lampert-Greaux, LDI's conference producer.

Some locked-out workers at the Detroit Lakes Snappy Air Distribution Plant will return to their posts Wednesday according to Jim Bowman with the sheet metal local union.
The workers still have not made a deal with management, but contract talks will resume Wednesday morning.
As Valley News Live first reported, nearly 100 union workers have been locked-out of a job since March 11 because of disputes over raises and health care cost increases.
Updated 3/11 at 7pm
Nearly 100 people are without a job tonight. Snappy Air Distribution in Detroit Lakes locked it's union members out this morning after a new contract agreement wasn't met on Friday. Union members were trying to get their first raise in more than five years. Today Valley News Live looked into how the union is coping on day one of the lockout.
It's not that different than how the lockout began at American Crystal. Union representatives and upper management at Snappy Air Distribution in Detroit Lakes couldn't agree on how to cover health care benefits and increased wages. Therefore, 96 people showed up Monday, locked out.
The business manager for Sheet Metal Workers Union 10 says the move effects more than the companies bottom line," I think it's sad that the company is mistreating the workers. Especially when they have over 70 people that have been there at least 25 years. Where is the allegiance to the employees? They're not asking for a lot."
On Friday the Sheet Metal Workers Local 10 Union decided they would not accept Snappy Air Distributions most recent offer. It was another pay freeze that would last the next three years, and an increased financial responsibility for employees to take care of health care costs.
Monday the two sides were able to touch base, but the company isn't willing to budge on any type of raise today, "they would entertain talking to us about any language change... But there would not be any monetary increases, not one cent." Says Bowman.
Union workers at Snappy's haven't gotten a raise since 2007. It was just three years ago that union members accepted a pay freeze, some even took a pay cut. The starting wage at Snappy Air Distribution is 12.50 an hour, with the highest paid folks working the floor making just over 17 bucks an hour. So how much more are they asking for? Bowman breaks it down into common sense. "We were only asking for ten cents. It was a small monetary increase every year." Says Bowman.
96 people, your neighbors out in Detroit lakes, are locked out of their job today. Some think it's because their boss is an investment group in Philadelphia. Who's bottom line isn't the same as the folks in DL who work here. "They restructure a company and try to make it more profitable. And then they sell it and move onto the next one. It's all about the money when you talk about an investment group." Says Bowman.
We reached out to Snappy Air Distribution today. But they redirected us to a human resources manager out in Philadelphia. They never got back to us. Union officials on the other hand told us today that until there's a new offer from the company the two sides are at a stand still.
Original Story
Starting at 6:00 a.m. Monday morning close to 100 workers are now locked out their jobs in Detroit Lakes. According to an employee that wishes to remain anonymous, 90 some Snappy Air Distribution came to work Monday morning only to find they no longer had a job.
Snappy Air Distribution is a union shop and on Friday, March 8 at 3:00 p.m. the contract between the Sheet Metal Workers Union and Snappy was rejected by vote.
Valley News Team's Eric Crest is in Detroit Lakes speaking with employees, and former employees who may now be without jobs and everything that goes along with it, like health insurance. We will have much more on this story tonight on Valley News Live.

Family of confessed serial killer holds WA funeralBy NICHOLAS K. GERANIOS
THE Associated Press | December 11,2012DEER PARK, Wash. The family of confessed serial killer Israel Keyes held a funeral Sunday remembering him in a small Washington town. He is not in a better place. Hes in a place of eternal torment, said Jake Gardner, the pastor for Israel Keyess family, before the funeral in Deer Park, Wash., a town about 15 miles north of Spokane.
The 34-year-old Keyes confessed to killing eight people across the country before he committed suicide recently in a jail cell in Anchorage, Alaska. The FBI and Anchorage police now say they believe he may have had three additional victims. Authorities in Oregon are also investigating whether Keyes also had murder victims there.
Keyes slit his wrist and strangled himself with bedding and was found dead last Sunday.
He was facing federal murder charges in the kidnapping and death of 18-year-old Samantha Koenig, who was abducted from an Anchorage coffee stand on Feb. 1.
On Sunday, his funeral was attended by his mother, Heidi, and four of his sisters. The family did not make a statement to the press.
Gardner said the family decided to hold the funeral in Deer Park because it was a convenient location in case any of his acquaintances wanted to attend. Keyes grew up in the nearby town of Colville in Stevens County a remote corner of Washington state.
On Sunday, there was no indication of any other attendees besides family, who mostly live in Texas.
Israel rejected the gospel and thus the outcome of his life is this tragic story, said Gardner of the Church of Wells in Wells, Texas.
Gardner said Keyes will be buried later at an undisclosed location in Washington.
Law enforcement officers in Anchorage conducted up to 40 hours of interviews with Keyes after his March arrest in Texas. During that time, Keyes confessed to killing Koenig, Bill and Lorraine Currier in Vermont and five other people, although details about those victims were sparse.
Investigators said Keyes told them he enjoyed killing people and seeing coverage of his crimes in the media.
Keyes told investigators the first violent crime he committed was a sexual assault in Oregon between 1996 and 1998 in which he let the victim go. The FBI is seeking more information on that crime.
Of the five other murders Keyes confessed to, four were in Washington state and one on the East Coast, with the body disposed of in New York.
Law enforcement officers are combing through unsolved homicide files trying to learn who Keyes killed, because he provided little information on those cases.
Authorities in the Spokane and Colville areas have said its unlikely that Keyes was responsible for any of the unsolved homicides on their books.
Shortly before his arrest in March, Keyes attended a sisters wedding in Texas, where he ranted in mid-ceremony about how he didnt believe in God, Gardner said.MORE IN Vermont NewsJames Jeffords called it his first vivid memory.

I'm developing a music based mobile app.
The app will have a dynamic list of channels that a user will click to then be taken to a specific playlist where they can choose different songs.
I would like to use a common slot for loading a particular playlist after a channel is clicked.
I'm trying to figure out what widget to use for the channels.
The obvious choice I thought was QPushButtons. But I need to be able to somehow send the ID of the channel through once a particular channel is clicked and the QPushButton "clicked" signal does not allow the ability to pass a value through to the slot.
I need this channel ID to know which channel playlist to load.
Is there a different widget that would be best for this?
Or am I possibly going about it the wrong way?
Thanks for any help!

A 30-year-old Nigerian woman, gravida 3 para 1, presented to an urban US hos- pital at 30 weeks and 1 day of gestation with complaints of nausea, vomiting, and sudden-onset abdominal pain that started at rest. There was no history of vaginal bleeding, intercourse, straining, or abdominal trauma prior to onset of pain. Pain was worse with movement, and she described excruciating pain with car movements en route to the hospital.
A 30-year-old Nigerian woman, gravida 3 para 1, presented to an urban US hospital at 30 weeks and 1 day of gestation with complaints of nausea, vomiting, and sudden-onset abdominal pain that started at rest. There was no history of vaginal bleeding, intercourse, straining, or abdominal trauma prior to onset of pain. Pain was worse with movement, and she described excruciating pain with car movements en route to the hospital.
She had initiated prenatal care one week preceding the onset of pain. A level II obstetric sonogram prior to presentation showed no abnormalities. Obstetric history included an uncomplicated pregnancy with normal spontaneous vaginal delivery at term and a fi rst-trimester spontaneous abortion. There was no history of previous surgery or drug abuse. Family history was noncontributory. Medical history was notable for iron deficiency anemia.
The patient was hemodynamically stable. Her vitals showed heart rate 97 bpm, blood pressure 89/62 mm Hg, respiratory rate 16 bpm, and temperature 97.9˚F.
Physical exam was remarkable for generalized abdominal tenderness without rebound tenderness or guarding. Fetal cardiotocography revealed a normal fetal heart tracing; however, contractions were noted to be occurring every 2 to 3 minutes. Pelvic examination revealed a closed and uneffaced cervix. A placental abruption was immediately suspected. Bedside ultrasound revealed no abnormalities in the placenta.
Disseminated intravascular coagulation work-up was normal, including a normal fibrinogen. Complete blood count (CBC) showed anemia, with hematocrit of 27.4% and hemoglobin 9.7 g/dL.
back to top
The patient received terbutaline for preterm contractions. After a period of observation, the contractions lessened, but the patient started to complain of shoulder pain and was treated with acetaminophen. Prior to discharge, the cervix was rechecked and found to be unchanged. Unfortunately, the patient was discharged with the diagnosis of preterm contractions. She was instructed to return to the hospital if contractions resumed or if there was vaginal bleeding, abdominal pain, or decreased fetal movements.
The patient noted minimal improvement of pain at home and developed symptoms of lower back pain and rectal pressure. She was evaluated by her obstetrician at 30 weeks and 2 days' gestation and was sent for further evaluation at the hospital.
On presentation to the hospital she appeared acutely distressed with pain. Her vitals were blood pressure 101/51, pulse 102, respiratory rate 20, and temperature 98.4˚F.
Immediate resuscitation with crystalloids was initiated. CBC revealed a hematocrit of 23.2% and hemoglobin of 8.3 g/dL. She had generalized abdominal tenderness without rebound tenderness. Fetal cardiotocography showed a normal fetal heart tracing and contractions every 2 minutes. Cervical length by ultrasound was 2.3 cm without funneling. Urine toxicology was negative. Betamethasone was administered for fetal lung maturity. She was admitted for observation with a presumed diagnosis of preterm labor.
During observation, her pain worsened, and her pulse rate increased to 120. CBC was obtained. It revealed a decline in hemoglobin from 8.3 to 7.4 g/dL (normal 11.0-14.5) in a span of 6 hours. An obstetric sonogram showed no evidence of placental abruption; a 2.2x1.5x2.5-cm cyst was seen within the right adnexa, with a moderate amount of complex free fluid seen bilaterally.
The patient was tachycardic; however, blood pressure was stable. She was typed and crossed, and blood transfusion was started. An abdominal sonogram performed at bedside revealed moderate perihepatic free fluid. A surgical consultation was obtained; recommendation was to obtain a CT scan of the abdomen/pelvis, which showed high-density ascites surrounding the liver and spleen and extending into the paracolic gutter. After transfusion of 2 units of packed red blood cells, hemoglobin was 7.6 g/dL. Thrombocytopenia was also noted, with platelet count of 134 k/μL (normal 145-400).
The patient was taken for an exploratory laparotomy. A vertical midline incision was made. Approximately 2L of hemoperitoneum was evacuated. A survey of the upper abdomen identifi ed no source of bleeding. The gravid uterus prevented a thorough exploration of the lower abdomen; therefore, a cesarean delivery was performed. She was found to have laceration of left posterior uterine artery. The bleeding vessel was ligated using a #1 Vicryl suture.
Fetal cord gasses were pH 7.34, PCO2 36.4 mm Hg, PO2 143 mm Hg, HCO3 19 mEq/L, and base excess –6. The newborn was resuscitated by the neonatologist. He was initially apneic with no heart rate. He was masked and bagged for one minute, with a heart rate then of 80. He was intubated and epinephrine was administered, with resultant increase in heart rate to 170. Apgars at 1, 5, 10, and 15 minutes were 0, 1, 4, and 8, respectively.
The baby was transferred to the NICU, where he spent 6 weeks for complications related to prematurity: respiratory distress syndrome, necrotizing enterocolitis, and hyperbilirubinemia. He was discharged home from the NICU in good health. The mother received a total of 7 units of packed red blood cells intra-op and post-op. She had an uneventful recovery.
Spontaneous rupture of uterine vessels leading to hemoperitoneum during pregnancy is a rare and life-threatening condition. Steinberg et al have reported a maternal mortality rate as high as 49%.1 The diagnosis of rupture of uterine vessels is rarely made by imaging modalities. Presenting symptoms of this condition are sudden onset of abdominal pain and signs of concealed bleeding.
Differential diagnoses include placental abruption, ectopic pregnancy, and uterine rupture, along with rare events such as rupture of the liver or spleen and rupture of a splenic artery aneurysm.
Placental perfusion is dependent on total uterine blood fl ow, which is mainly from the uterine and ovarian arteries. The uterine artery is a main branch of the internal iliac artery, while the ovarian artery is a direct branch of the aorta. The physiology and anatomy of the cardiovascular system change dramatically in pregnancy.
During pregnancy, there is marked hypertrophy of the blood supply to the uterus. Uterine veins also undergo remodeling by numerous factors that include reduced elastin content and adrenergic nerve density, which results in increased venous caliber and distensibility. More than 10% of cardiac output goes to the uterus at term, and veins in the pelvis are engorged. The uteroplacental blood flow increases progressively during pregnancy, ranging from approximately 450 to 650 mL/min near term.
The etiology of spontaneous rupture of uterine artery is unknown. Possible etiologies include arteriovenous malformations and uterine artery aneurysms, varicosities of the uterine vein, decidualization of endometriosis, increased venous pressure in the uteroovarian vessels during muscular activity, and straining.1,2 The changes that occur to the cardiovascular system during pregnancy are sufficient to withstand pressure fluctuations. This has led to the belief that an inherent defect in the vessels predisposes it to rupture.3 Autoimmune vasculitis and vasculopathy have been associated with spontaneous rupture of other vessels.
Maternal mortality with spontaneous rupture of uterine artery was estimated as 49% in one of the largest published series conducted in 1950.1 More recent data have shown a dramatic decline. Ginsburg et al reported a maternal mortality rate of 3.6% in cases reviewed between 1950 and 1985.3 This decline in mortality is secondary to advances in resuscitative efforts and anesthesia techniques.
A review of all cases of spontaneous hemoperitoneum in pregnancy over the past 20 years showed that 80% were of venous origin, 16% arterial origin, and 4% unknown.4 The bleeding site in 90% of cases was either the posterior side of the uterus or the parametrium.4
The rarity of spontaneous hemoperitoneum in pregnancy leads to misdiagnosis of the condition. As exemplified by this case, clinicians are hesitant to perform surgical procedures, especially when there is no clear-cut diagnosis. The diagnosis of spontaneous rupture of uterine artery is usually made after extensive explorative laparotomy necessitating delivery of a preterm infant, as occurred in this case. Studies have shown that timely diagnosis can prevent adverse pregnancy outcome.5
Perinatal mortality was reported as 31% by Ginsburg et al.3 Presenting symptoms include sudden-onset abdominal pain and signs of hypovolemic shock without vaginal bleeding. A decreasing trend in hemoglobin is frequently a sign of concealed bleeding.3 Fetal distress is not a common sign.1 In the face of an acute abdomen, little preoperative diagnostic studies are required. However, abdominal ultrasonography may reveal intra-abdominal fluid.
Comment and Summary
In order to make this diagnosis, a high index of suspicion is warranted. On review of the case, at initial presentation to the hospital, this patient possibly had intraperitoneal bleeding with diaphragmatic irritation, resulting in the complaint of shoulder pain prior to discharge. The contractions were possibly due to serosal irritation by blood.
Unfortunately, the patient was discharged home. On a subsequent visit, an ultrasound performed showing ascites with a downward trend in hematocrit should have prompted immediate surgical intervention. A lot of time was wasted obtaining diagnostic imaging that added little information to the overall picture. Immediate surgical intervention may have resulted in less blood transfusion for the mother and perhaps less need for resuscitative efforts for the baby.
In summary, a high index of suspicion is warranted. A timely diagnosis of spontaneous rupture of uterine artery can decrease the mortality and morbidity associated with the condition.

Arizona's biggest utility goes after solar net metering
As his retirement looms, Sen. Jeff Bingaman, D-N.M., pushes a "clean energy" bill, one that broadens the energy mix beyond traditional "renewable" sources.
Industrial-style, large-scale solar developments on Western public lands are simply not the right way to go.
In his State of the Union speech, President Obama tried to please everyone, but even his renewable energy proposals rely on finding more natural gas than may exist.
After a hard-fought political campaign the town of Boulder passed a ballot initiative allowing it to create its own municipal utility in order to help reach its ambitious environmental goals.
The Obama administration's electrical transmission permitting agencies are cooperating to speed grid updates and fast track clean energy projects, as demand for power grows.

suspected car prowler from targeting even more people. Around 1:30 this morning
a man was spotted going through a car parked in a driveway on the 3700 block of
4th Street South.
Officers caught Theodore Henry III
and arrested him for a number of charges including theft, tampering with a
motor vehicle, and fleeing police and possession of burglary tools.

neighborhood while a Henry was sneaking around. The neighbor called the police
department right away.
"He did the right thing, he
didn't scare the person off, he didn't try to confront him or have a
confrontation like that." Says Lt. Tory Jacobson with the Moorhead Police
When officers arrived Henry took off,
but officers were positioned to catch him right away. Henry had a hammer and a
backpack with stolen items inside.
"He had property on him that was
from more than just this persons car, you know it isn't that he had so much in
his backpack, it's just he had items that didn't belong to him." Lt.
Jacobson says.
Although they've caught the suspect police
are still trying to find out how many people were victims.
"That's not his property, he had
no business, and many of us are offended by taking your stuff." Lt.
Jacobson says.
He and residents in Moorhead say the
one way to protect yourself is by locking your car.
"Be more observant of what's
going on in your neighborhood," says Shirley "lock your doors, even during the day when you
are home it's a good idea to lock your doors."
If you live around that area and
noticed some items missing from your car call the Moorhead Police Department at

Two Years After Riegel, Patients Still Without Legal Recourse
FDA's Public Hearing on Medical Device Approval Process Shows Need for Legislation to Hold Manufacturers Accountable
Washington, DC—With the two-year anniversary of the Supreme Court's decision in Riegel v. Medtronic approaching Saturday, thousands of patients still have no legal recourse when they have been injured by faulty medical devices.
The Riegel decision gave complete immunity to manufacturers of class III medical devices that have been approved by the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) premarket approval process, eliminating a check and balance that helped ensure device safety for decades prior.
Meanwhile, the FDA today is holding a public meeting on 510(k) medical device approvals – a process used by manufacturers to obtain quicker approval of devices they claim are similar to ones that already exist – which puts more patients at risk of being injured by faulty products.
"While the FDA's thorough review of medical devices is necessary to protect patients, device manufacturers also need to be held accountable for their defective products through the civil justice system," said American Association for Justice President Anthony Tarricone.
For example, Katie Meyer was just three days away from her 31st birthday when a defective medical device malfunctioned and shocked her three times. The device was a Medtronic Sprint Fidelis lead attached to her defibrillator, which she needed because of a cardiac condition developed while undergoing treatment for cancer. Katie beat cancer, but in the end, it was the removal of the faulty medical device that led to her death.
Congress has introduced the Medical Device Safety Act (S. 540 / H.R. 1346) to restore the rights of medical device patients to seek remedy in court as Congress had intended in 1976 when they passed legislation on medical device safety.
The Government Accountability Office reported last January that the FDA inadequately tested many class III medical devices. The study found in a recent five-year period the FDA did only minimal testing before approving 228 high-risk medical devices, instead of going through the agency's more stringent premarket review process as Congress had intended.
The FDA has asked the Institute of Medicine (IOM) to conduct a comprehensive study of the approval process, to be completed in March 2011.

Natasha Bedingfield wowed on the red carpet at the Grammy Awards at the Los Angeles Staples Center on Sunday night.
The singer stunned in a lace red gown from Emerson Spring 2013.
The modern cut fit the singer beautifully, giving off an elegant yet cool vibe with sexy cutouts on the side.
The singer went almost head-to-toe in red, pairing the dress with scarlet satin heels and kept the look punchy with Marina B jewels and a gold belt and clutch.
I think Natasha nailed the look, combining red carpet elegance with a rock 'n roll style that speaks to the Grammy Awards nature. Do you agree?

July 10, 1993. It's the day that transformed the life of a little girl who would be paralyzed for the rest of her life. Someone shot Talonda Lanier in the head. She and her family stopped at a rest stop off Interstate 40 in Winston Salem to take a nap. Sidet, Talonda's mother, remembers it as if it were yesterday.
"At first I didn't know if it was gun shot or not. My little sister was with and I asked her if everyone was ok. Talonda was whining and I kept calling for Talonda, but when she didn't answer me, that's when my sister said oh my god Sidet, she's bleeding."
Hours later, doctors told her that her daughter wouldn't make it to her seventh birthday. Sidet spent months in and out of hospitals caring for Talonda. But despite early predictions, she defied the odds and became partially paralyzed. She's now 26 years old.
"I remember when I was in the hospital and I was getting physical therapy and I didn't want any help. I figured that I could do it by myself. I was trying to be independent and I didn't want any help." Talonda said.
That's how she would live the rest of her life, determined to succeed and to overcome any obstacles that came her way.
"The accident happened at 6 and by 7 or 8 she was trying to run behind other kids. She'd fall, cry, hurt her knee and try to do it again." Sidet said.
But the emotional toll was daunting. Both wondered why they were the ones who had fallen victims to this crime. Shannon Huffman and Michael Barber pled guilty to attempted murder and sentenced to 15 years in prison.
"I've learned how to forgive them. It took me a while. But I forgave them because I could have died, and it's better to forgive those who hurt you and move forward." Talonda said.
In 2005, Sidet had a stroke and is now paralyzed on her left side. So, it's all now come full circle. Talonda helps her mother, showing how to live with disability and serving as an inspiration to everyone.
She told 9 On Your Side that she hopes to graduate from college with a degree in criminology, so she can become an advocate for victims of similar crimes.

I've been following Mark's work for years. He's ceaselessly inventive and committed and, well, just seems really smart.
I've loved this new "wet" work of his, you might say it's now my own "wet dream." You might say that, but you probably have more taste than me, and you wouldn't…
Anyhow, good post, nice to see you, at the heights you've reach, looking out for integrity and creativity. Keep rocking.

I've been a fan of Mark Tucker's work for many years. Like many things on the internet, I initially happened across his work as a result of reading this article he wrote describing his "plungercam" DIY lens creation: http://22.214.171.124/plungercam/
I've been hooked on his imagery ever since.

Robert, they vary. It's up towards the authors. Many of the letters coming up are handwritten, or hand-notated, it's about half and half. Though most on the first letters were typed. The fourth letter was a comic.

News: Drake Says He'd Never Have Recorded "H.A.M." Verse, "Wayne Is The Reason I'm Here"
Monday, Nov 14, 2011 4:20PM
While the buzz between Lil Wayne and Jay-Z going at each other's necks has died down, Young Money's Drake now claims he would never have recorded a verse to the Watch the Throne "H.A.M." single out of respect to Weezy.
Despite Jay's subliminal "Baby Money" reference, Drizzy said his loyalty to Wayne would not allow him to contribute if given the opportunity.
"If I had heard it? No," Drake said in an interview. "Because Wayne's done way more for my career than Jay-Z. Wayne is the reason I'm here. Jay-Z did that for [J.] Cole, that's his artist. Cole's my brother, he's an artist I respect so much but I know he'd say the same thing. We've got bosses. We're just falling in line, doing what we got to do." (GQ)
In October, Drake talked about contributing to Wayne's "It's Good" record which featured Weezy responding to Jay's "H.A.M." line.
"I really just did my verse over the beat," Drake said of "It's Good," a track from Lil Wayne's "The Carter IV." "I'm a soldier for Wayne, he put me here, so I did what I had to do and what he does with the song after that is completely up to him... I think Wayne, who is never afraid to step up to the plate, did what he did back and that's what hip-hop is about. I have the utmost respect for Jay, he's a brother to me." (Billboard)
A few days prior, rapper Rick Ross shared his thoughts on Weezy and Jay going at each other's necks.
"I put no input in it really," Ricky Rozay told DJ Absolut. "Those are both of my homies, I'm fans of both of them, they're both super rich. I ain't trippin'. You know, I don't really get into the better emcee. It's just about accomplishing whatever it is you want to accomplish. You know what I'm saying? And both of those dudes are pretty [secure]. That's what my focus is right now. Just making sure I accomplish what I set out to accomplish as a team." (Take This Serious)
In early fall, Jay downplayed the seriousness of Weezy's "It's Good" diss where he threatens to kidnap his lady.
Jay-Z told us he didn't want to dwell on the topic, especially considering the education fundraiser was about a positive cause. But he didn't have much to say about Wayne's "It's Good," other than that it was to be expected in hip-hop. "That's sport, that's rap music," Jay said. "Nothing is going to change but the participants. I don't even see why that's news." (MTV)

Associated Press
EAST ST. LOUIS (AP) — An East St. Louis police officer has been put on paid leave in response to claims by a family that he was drunk and used profane language while responding to a reported burglary.
The Belleville News-Democrat (http://bit.ly/YhmuNm ) reports that Police Chief Michael Floore won't publicly name the veteran officer or discuss details of the matter.
But Don Brown tells the newspaper the complaint was related to the officer's response to a report Sunday that someone had ransacked and set fire to the home of Brown's stepdaughter.
Brown says the officer showed up smelling of alcohol, with a beer in the patrol car, and used profane language.

Last night, the entire world waited with bated breath as Apple Inc indulged in its yearly ritual of launching a new iPhone.
The rumour mill set in motion weeks before the event finally quieted, giving Apple Inc a chance to talk about the new iPhone 5, among other products.
After manufacturing smartphones with the same screen size – 3.5 inches – since the first iPhone in 2007, the company seems to realise that the consumer wants to use bigger screens. The new 4-inch Retina Display, however, still remains smaller than the massive 4.8-inch Super AMOLED of the Samsung Galaxy S III and the 4.5-inch PureMotion HD+ of the newly announced Nokia Lumia 920.
The iPhone 5 has also caught up with these two competitors with its inbuilt 8-megapixel iSight camera. When it comes to video, consumers will be able to record motion videos in high definition at 30 frames per second.
What makes the trio interesting is that all the super smartphones in the market are based on three different operating systems. The Apple iPhone 5 will run on iOS 6. Although the OS packs in several interesting features including maps in 3D, Dictation, advanced Siri capabilities and Passbook, most of the features will not be available in India. This is where the Nokia Lumia 920 (based on Windows Phone 8) and Samsung Galaxy S III (based on Android Ice Cream Sandwich) might gain more popularity with users by making relatively more features available in the Indian market. Being a super-smartphone also entails having a powerful processor to take care of all the multi-tasking.
Apple has designed a new A6 system-on-chip to maximise performance and power efficiency. The company says the processor makes for twice the CPU and graphics performance.
Galaxy vs iphone
When it comes to building quality, the Apple iPhone again trumps Samsung's flagship, the Galaxy S III. The entire body crafted out of aluminium and glass is designed to be sturdier than the all-plastic S III. However, Nokia has also made sure, with the anodised aluminium and glass body on the Lumia 920, that consumers do not have to compromise on strength or aesthetics. While there has been no date specified for an India launch for the Apple iPhone 5 (or the Nokia Lumia 920), it would be quite interesting to see how the super-smartphone wars play out while offering a varied range of experiences to the user.

State inspectors are now in Toms River Township to help local officials and Jersey Central Power & Light in areas still without power to ensure that storm damage has not compromised homes, the township said on its Website.
Inspectors are conducting house-to-house inspections in Windsor Park, Green Island and sections of Silverton today and will continue until completion, the township said. Each home must be individually certified that the power can be turned on.
The township said power will begin to return to those residents once inspections are completed and affected homes have been identified.

Arteriovenous Malformation
An arteriovenous malformation is an abnormal network of blood vessels and veins in the body. It is present at birth (congenital).
The vessel walls of an arteriovenous malformation may become weak and leak or burst, causing bleeding in or around important parts of the body, such as the brain or spinal cord.

Adapted from Mark Twain's classic novel, Tom Sawyer received its premiere in October 2011 with the Kansas City Ballet and the Kansas Symphony. It featured direction and choreography by William Whitener.
Martin West conducts the San Francisco Ballet Orchestra for the recording, which is produced by two-time Grammy winner Adam Abeshouse.
PS Classics has previously collaborated with Yeston on the 2003 revival cast album of Nine, as well as the Off-Broadway cast album of Death Takes a Holiday. Studio albums include "The Maury Yeston Songbook," Laura Osnes' "If I Tell You: The Songs of Maury Yeston" and "December Songs."
"After the premiere of the work in Kansas City, I was thrilled when the ballet and music world took notice. And then came an invitation from the San Francisco Ballet Orchestra to record the entire three-act, 85-minute work at George Lucas' Skywalker Sound, with a full complement of forty strings under the baton of Martin West. It was a genuine dream come true," Yeston said in a statement to Playbill.com.
Yeston won Tony Awards for Best Score for Titanic and Nine, and was nominated for Grand Hotel. His works also include Phantom, Death Takes a Holiday, Goya and the song-cycle December Songs.
(Numerous theatre recordings are also available at PlaybillStore.com.)

This was probably already covered but I just called NAPA to get my zero turn mower's replacement air filter.
The clerk said filters are sold @ cost this month.
This worked out great for me. The mower place quoted some incredible price like $65.00 but told me like he was going to get fired to try NAPA.
I called NAPA a couple of months ago and they said $35.00 which was way better, of course they had to order it in since it is not a stock item.
So I didn't order it at that time. I called today and it is $16. and change. I ordered 2.
The late bird gets the worm once in a while.
Call NAPA while you can.

|"You are the counterpoint to the pain of the world," Liberian President Johnson SIrleaf told the graduates in her Commencement address.
Liberian President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf told members of the UMass Worcester Class of 2012 to "go out and save the world," during her address at the 39th Commencement exercises on Sunday, June 3, in front of an audience of more than 3,000 family and friends under a giant tent on the campus green.
"We must have the courage to be brave in action. Use your knowledge and skills, continue to make a difference. For that is your calling," said Johnson Sirleaf. "You are the counterpoint to the pain of the world."
Chancellor Michael F. Collins said Johnson Sirleaf, a 2011 Nobel Peace Prize winner, was an inspirational choice to speak to the graduates and receive an honorary degree.
"In the face of adversity, you have long been admired for your ability to balance great strength with profound compassion," said Chancellor Collins. "We are especially honored by your presence here today because of the deep relationship between our campus and your country. It is a privilege for those in our community to partner with talented and resourceful colleagues in Liberia, as together, we care for all who are in need."
This year's class of graduating students is the largest in UMass Worcester history. Of the 248 total gradates, 111 received MDs from the School of Medicine. The Graduate School of Nursing awarded 50 master's degrees, six post-master's certificates; four doctor of nursing practice degrees and six PhDs; and the Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences awarded three master's degrees and 64 PhDs. Four MD/PhDs were also awarded.
"As you chart your futures, we shall watch with much anticipation for your many accomplishments. We hope that you will remain mindful that our communities, our commonwealth, our nation and our world need you," said Chancellor Collins. "We need your intellect and innovation. We need your care and compassion. We need your humility and humanity."
"Most importantly, we need you to remember that while many days will not be easy, or many nights restful, you are not alone," said Chancellor Collins.
Other honorary degrees were given to Boston businessman and philanthropist Joseph O'Donnell, founder of the Joey Fund, and U.S. Surgeon General Regina M. Benjamin, MD, MBA.
In addition to Johnson Sirleaf, one student from each school spoke. James Ferguson, who received his MD, told his classmates that a great deal of his education came from them, saying "I wish you everything."
The Graduate School of Nursing's Phylis Muthee, who received her MS, spoke about the four C's of teamwork; communication, cooperation, coordination and collaboration. "Let us go as leaders with a positive influence in the teams we work within," she said.
"In a world where science is often mistrusted or misunderstood, we must be ambassadors who explain our work and advocate for the role of science in society. Doctors and nurses graduating with me today, I ask that you advocate not only for your patients but also for science that will provide future therapies that will greatly improve your patient's lives," said Allison Keeler, who received her PhD and represented the Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences.
Johnson Sirleaf said that she may receive other honorary degrees, but "this one will always remind me of the very close bonds between my country and this medical school. So many of your students and faculty have taken time away from their own lives to travel to Liberia to provide life-saving care to ensure a healthy population," she said. "My people and my country appreciate all that you do."

Respecting the principles of the Pangaea project, Mike Horn has led a team of 8 young people from all over the world through an amazing adventure. The objective always remained the same:
Explore, Learn and Act.
The young explorers were away from May 31st to June 26th and hiked in the heart of the highest mountains in the world, climbing the Baltoro glacier in Pakistan.
For them it was an opportunity:
- to better understand environmental issues linked to tourism,
- to think about customized solutions,
- to understand the limits of the atmospheric layer by ascending a virgin summit of 6000 meters.
Erwan Le Lann, Grassroots Community Manager at Petzl's and mountain guide, tells us about the expedition.
Concretely, which actions did you implement and what was the objective?
First of all, to better understand the melting of the glaciers, we started with a long trek doing topographic surveys (photos and GPS points). This data will enable the University of Munich to complement its study on the melting of glaciers.
Then to understand that the atmospheric layer is thin, limited and so must be protected, we experienced the physical human limits at an altitude of 6000 meters. The young people have called this summit the Pangaea Peak, symbolizing the cooperation of different nationalities for the protection of the environment. It is indeed the first time that a summit of over 6000 meters has been reached by so many young people from different countries.
We also tried to limit human impact in the valley. The 90-kilometer trek to climb the Baltoro glacier implies tremendous organization: thousands of porters and tourists stop at the same camps, and the human waste left behind pollutes the rivers. After this experience, with the help of a local organization the young people are therefore going to implement actions such as manufacturing toilets, collecting waste, dealing with the waste in a processing area.
Why is this expedition different from the others?
Each expedition is unique. This one was the first one without Mike Horn's boat which is used as base camp for most of the Pangaea project expeditions. Considering the approach necessary to gain access to these mountains, we had to leave for a longer time: over 3 weeks. From a physical point of view, it was the most demanding expedition: 7 to 8 hours of walking every day! From a cultural point of view, Pakistan is very different, with a very strong local identity which we were able to discover thanks to the porters.
Can you tell us more about Petzl's involvement in this adventure?
Since the beginning of the Pangaea project, Petzl has been involved by providing all the technical equipment necessary for safe progress during the expeditions.
Moreover, as mountain guide, and thanks to Petzl, I take part in the expeditions to ensure the safety of the group, exchange with the young people about my knowledge of the mountain environment and make them responsible towards nature. I also help choose the itineraries and organize the projects, for example caving in Borneo, mountaineering in Pakistan, the activities of the selection camps, etc.
How did the young people experience this adventure in Pakistan?
Each day, the young explorers wrote about their feelings and reactions on their blog, reflecting very well their daily life during this expedition.
What is the next expedition?
The Gobi desert in Mongolia, end of August. By the way we have just finished the selection for this new expedition. The 8 young people who are going to leave for Mongolia are:
- Lucas Lovell, 18, Australia
- Constantin Vogt, 19, Germany
- Magdalena Gründl, 18, Germany
- Tirza Niklaus, 18, Switzerland
- Nicolette Meyer, 17, Singapore
- Martin Añon, 20, Argentina
- Akira Biondo, 19, China
- Inge Pieterson, 20, South Africa
