---- — MANCHESTER — Voters who filled Manchester Memorial Elementary School Monday night backed a proposed operating budget with a 2.1 percent spending increase, and backed the town's allocation to the newly merged North Shore Regional vo-tech school district.
But voters, who turned out for the Town Meeting at more than 350 strong — with others still arriving as of 8:30 p.m. — were still taking up controversial bylaw proposals that would ban stores' distribution of single-use plastic bags and extend the time frame in which pet owners can walk their dogs on town beaches, with town officials projecting that meeting would likely be continued tonight.
The town's municipal operating budget of $12,608,440 gained voters' backing in the early going, and residents backed Manchester's allocation of $80,335 to the newly merged regional vocational technical school program that is combining North Shore Tech and Essex Aggie in Middleton.
Residents were debating and still considering the town's allocation to the Manchester Essex Regional School District as of press time.
Voters were also poised later last night to to ake up articles pertaining to the contaminated site of the towns former burn dump site on Pine Street. Town officials were seeking $1.5 million to reclaim and clean a property at Pine Street and properly clean the sites, as mandated by the state Department of Environmental Protection.
Town Administrator Wayne Melville said prior to the meeting the money will be borrowed and spread out throughout a number of years. It is unknown what action the state DEP will take, if any, if the deadline of April of 2014 is not met.
Town Meeting residents and town officials began Monday night's meeting by commending Melville, who retired as town administrator in January and is now serving in an interim role pending the hiring of a successor, along with Board of Selectmen members Susan Thorne and Mary Hardwick. Both Thorne and Hardwick are stepping down from the board.

ANAHEIM -- In an unusual development, Angels manager Mike Scioscia and hitting coach Mickey Hatcher assembled their hitters on Tuesday for a meeting designed to bring the offense to life."There were a lot of voices," Scioscia said. "That's what makes for a successful meeting. Guys have a good frame of mind. Some guys are swinging the bat too tight. I don't want to talk about specifics of the meeting, but certainly it's important to get more opportunities, do a better job of moving runners along. Those are the things that have been hurting us the last few weeks. "In this meeting, we were addressing stuff in a lot more detail as a group, so guys understand it's not playing to its potential now. I think after the team meeting guys feel real good about the guys we have. I think they did before [the meeting]." Scioscia said he believes the Angels have the talent in-house to turn on the juice, as they did for a three-month stretch of spectacular offense last season. After breaking out with 5.3 runs per game during an 18-9 June, the offense is producing 3.6 runs while going 8-14 in July. Even that 3.6 figure is misleading, given that 21 of their 80 runs have come in two games. In half of the 22 games this month, the Angels have been held to two or fewer runs. "This offensive success is not contingent on an outside player coming in," Scioscia said. "We have a number of offensive guys who we feel can and will be productive. That [on-base percentage] is where it starts. We're in the middle of the pack in hitting with runners in scoring position, but the volume of runners has been down." Only three American League clubs -- the Orioles, Blue Jays and Mariners -- have a lower team on-base percentage than the Angels' .319. They are fifth in homers but ninth in slugging, indicating there haven't been enough doubles or triples, and they're uncharacteristically low -- seventh -- in steals as a team. "We don't have as much team speed as the last couple years," Scioscia said. "But we certainly have enough to move things along better."
Haren 'on track' to make next start
ANAHEIM -- Dan Haren hasn't missed a turn since he moved into the Athletics' rotation in 2005, and he doesn't appear likely to end that streak of 190 consecutive starts now in the wake of getting smoked on the right forearm by a line drive in his Angels debut on Monday night against the Red Sox."He has some stiffness, but he's feeling a lot better today," Angels manager Mike Scioscia said of the 29-year-old right-hander, who was acquired from the Arizona Diamondbacks on Sunday for Joe Saunders and three prospects. "Hopefully, he'll make his next start." That would be on Saturday against the Rangers, the club the Angels are chasing in the American League West.
"If this is as bad as it's going to feel," Haren said, "it should be fine by Saturday."Haren said X-rays taken of the forearm "didn't show anything" and that he "should be on track" to face Texas. He was encouraged by his long-toss session as the Angels got ready to face the Red Sox on Tuesday. Boston took the series opener, pinning the loss on Haren. He departed after getting struck by Kevin Youkilis' liner, having yielded two runs in 4 2/3 innings while striking out eight men. This lifted his season total, D-backs and Angels combined, to 149 K's -- two more than American League leader Jered Weaver was taking to the mound in his duel against old buddy John Lackey on Tuesday night. "I guess I got lucky," Haren said, having been informed by Dr. Lewis Yocum, the club's team orthopedist and medical director, that the liner missed the bone by about an inch. Haren indicated that he felt some initial stiffness as he began throwing but it subsided as he went along, adding that he put a little more into it than he normally would the day after a start.
Scioscia credits young aces with no-nos
ANAHEIM -- Mike Scioscia caught 1,141 games -- and two no-hitters -- in his Major League career with the Dodgers. The great Fernando Valenzuela and Kevin Gross were the pitchers he guided to no-hitters.Scioscia feels the emergence of a new collection of strong arms is a factor in this season's remarkable run on no-hitters. There have been five -- and one highly controversial close call by Detroit's Armando Galarraga -- in the afterglow of the Rays' Matt Garza's one-walk gem against the Tigers on Monday night in Florida. "We're seeing an influx of young power arms coming around, guys like [Justin] Verlander, [David] Price, [Clay] Buchholz, Jered Weaver on our club," Scioscia said. "These young guys are starting to take hold with terrific careers." Scioscia mentioned the Yankees' Phil Hughes, the Blue Jays' Brandon Morrow and the Athletics' Gio Gonzalez among the other young guns on the American League scene, along with the Mariners' Felix Hernandez, the Royals' Zack Greinke and Jon Lester, Buchholz's Boston teammate. Scioscia thinks testing for performance-enhancing drugs could be a factor in creating a more pitcher-friendly environment, while acknowledging that pitchers also were involved in the steroid culture. "It has leveled the field slightly," Scioscia said. He added that he was unaware if a more liberal strike zone is in place than in recent seasons.
Worth noting
Alberto Callaspo, the Angels' new third baseman, became the seventh player to hit in the No. 2 spot for manager Mike Scioscia when he followed Maicer Izturis in the order on Tuesday night against former Angels ace John Lackey and Boston. Izturis, batting .333 in seven games since coming off the disabled list, assumed Erick Aybar's leadoff spot with Aybar in an 0-for-9 spin. The Angels are 4-2 when Izturis leads off. ... Four of Hideki Matsui's past eight hits have left the ballpark, and he's now 14 homers away from 500 as a professional hitter. He hit 332 for the Yomiuri Giants as Japan's greatest star. Of Matsui's 55 RBIs, 24 have come with two outs. ... Beware of the big bopper: David Ortiz, who homered twice on Monday night and has 21 for the season, is a .350 career hitter with two homers in 20 at-bats against Jered Weaver, who faced his mentor, Lackey, for the first time in the middle game of the series. Lackey beat the Angels, 3-1, in Boston on May 5, going seven innings and giving up one run on two hits and two walks. ... Josh Beckett goes in Wednesday's series finale for Boston, facing Joel Pineiro. From his Yankees days, Matsui (.296, two homers in 27 at-bats) has an extensive history with Beckett. The most troublesome Angels hitter for the right-hander has been Howard Kendrick, who is 8-for-19 (.421) with a homer against Beckett. ... Signed at considerably less expense (two years, $16 million) to replace Lackey in the rotation, Pineiro has been just as effective as the former ace. Pineiro is 10-7 with a 4.18 ERA compared to Lackey's 9-5, 4.36.

Have you ever noticed what you thought would motive someone falls flat? That's because there are two types of people in terms of motivation: Inner and Outer. Outer people are the easiest. Lots of praise, taking to lunch, flowers for desk or a small gift such as new favorite novel. Inner people respond by being left alone to do a self-directed task and only seek minor recognition at the end of a significant project. No bells or whistles just a smile and recognition of a job well done. Which are you, an inner or an outer?
-Betty Otte
Thank you Marti for your question. I sent you a more extended answer, but basically, knowing the method to reinforce good behavior or to praise is a matter of observation. Each person is an individual and it is up to the manager or fellow employee to mirror the actions of the other (as in sales).
Lisa, thank you for your quote. This last weekend at the eWomen Network Conference, it was all about relationships. We hang out with and do business with people we know and trust. You are spot on!
I heard a quote recently that is worth considering:
Important distinction–how can a manager tell which type will work for individual team members? How does it work to ask individuals which type of acknowledgment they prefer–are most of us aware?
What a great blog. I am going to let my clients and colleagues know about it and look forward to more great articles.

Once again, laziness seems to be the motivating force propelling me to fabricate something to make my life easier. This time it's the daunting chore of raking leaves. The older I get, the more mechanized I try to become to alleviate physical work that seems to because harder and harder. I've avoid raking with a passion and normally use a leaf blower but that takes up quite a bit of time especially when I am trying to move a large pile. I typically blow the leaves into the field once the corn or beans have been picked.
Today I gave my Cheap And Dirty Lawn Rake a try. I am pleased with the results. Now I have another reason to operate my Cub. It isn't prefect but it does work really well. Sure beats pulling on a rake handle or hoisting the leaf blower. It's much quicker too.
I fabricated it using 2"x 2" x 10 ga. box tubing (4'6" long) , 3"x4"x .25" angle iron 62" long and some .25" x 6" x18" plate steel for the pivot brackets. I again used the same anchor, which attaches into the 2" receiver, that I use with all my Cheap And Dirty implements.
The 6" wide pivot plates straddle the anchor to stabilize the rake and absorb tensional load similar to the other implements. However, the plates on the rake are slightly larger due to the additional torsion and side loading caused by the wide rake.
The beam has an offset in it to allow clearance for the draw bar and the angle iron is attached perpendicular to the ground. Mounted on the angle iron are 22 rake teeth that I purchased at a tractor swap meet. I got a box of 36 of them or $20!
When I mounted the teeth, the angle was wrong for the application I wanted.
A quick bend with a ¼" tubing bender setting them more perpendicular to the ground allowed them to work as I intended.
The rake is not completely painted in the photos because I intend to add a gusset between the angle iron and the beam for additional strength. I may also add an extension to the angle iron to keep leaves from going over the top of the rake as they pile up in front of the rake.
It only took a few minutes to clean this portion of the back yard. Again, not perfect but by tomorrow, the way the leaves are starting to fall, you'll never know it was ever raked.

The Google Play problem: paying for 'Angry Birds' with battery life instead of money
Earlier this week, a report came out showing that some apps on Android use more than twice the power they actually need because they're running ads. Angry Birds in particular was called out, with 70 percent of its power draw dedicated to uploading information and downloading ads. That stark fact may be part of the reason why Angry Birds Space, which was released yesterday, has both a free and a $.99 "premium" version in Google Play.
Although it might not be entirely fair to single out Angry Birds for battery life issues, the app is a common example simply because of how popular it has become. At the center of the Android app ecosystem is a fundamental problem that hasn't yet been solved: paid apps get better battery life but simply don't make much money in Google Play, while free-with-ads apps appear to be much more profitable but provide a much worse experience to the end user.
"I've been waiting for Google to get the Android Market in better shape."If Angry Birds is the cipher through which to understand this problem, the result doesn't look good for Google's store or for Android as a platform. Google Play simply isn't making much money for developers who offer paid apps on Android. Rovio's "Mighty Eagle," Peter Vesterbacka, says that until now "it just hasn't made sense" to offer a paid version of Angry Birds on Google Play:
The top developers offering paid downloads on Android, the numbers are single-digit millions at best. We are in the hundreds of millions on Android, so just it hasn't made sense.
That's why, until now, Rovio only offered the ad-based version on Android Market, though the company did offer a for-pay version on Amazon's Android app store. It's also not as though Rovio was unaware of the battery life issues that come with ad-based apps. The company has been working with Nokia Siemens Networks since last summer to optimize Angry Birds for battery life. However, it's a difficult challenge: the firm found that the ads on the Android version meant that Angry Birds was using 3.5 times more signaling (the total number of network connections) than the iPhone version. Nokia Siemens points out that there's not an easy solution if you need to include ads:
Advertising delivery for Angry Birds is done by Google (Rovio cannot influence this), so any reduction of mobile ad-associated signaling will have to be done by Google, not Rovio.
Angry Birds has since switched to using Flurry for ads, but as the more recent study shows, it presents similar battery life problems. One solution to this conundrum is for Google to emulate an Apple strategy: offer an ostensibly more battery-efficient and unified advertising solution to advertisers, like iAds. Unfortunately, that example isn't entirely promising when it comes to actually bringing in more money. Apple has had to cut rates and ease terms for its iAds offering.
A more obvious strategy, then, is to offer both paid and free versions on Google Play. That's exactly what Rovio is doing, but it's fairly clear that nobody should expect huge numbers from the paid version. Vesterbacka is cautiously optimistic, at best, that Google Play will be able to create real revenue for paid apps:
I've been waiting for Google to get the Android Market in better shape and they're moving in the right direction with Google Play [...] they're making things work better so paid content actually makes sense on the Android side.
Ultimately, the best solution is the most direct: Google needs to find ways to make Google Play a destination where consumers are willing to spend money. Looked at that way, the rebranding from Android Market to Google Play and the increased efforts to offer more types of content to purchase (including, it seems, movies) begin to make more sense.
Until and unless Google can build an ecosystem of consumers willing to part with their money directly, both the company and Android developers will be forced to depend on advertising revenue. In the meantime, Android users would be well-advised to keep a spare battery handy.

A Tennessee judge's decision to change a baby's first name from Messiah to Martin is drawing strong reactions from people who believe the judge overstepped her powers and those who think parents' creativity should have some limits.
Thousands of people have commented online about the judge's order since WBIR-TV published its story over the weekend. Many of them said Child Support Magistrate Lu Ann Ballew went too far, but not all.
"I agree 100 percent that we only have one messiah and that's Jesus Christ," said Edith Wood, a resident of Cocke County in eastern Tennessee, where the boy lives. The mostly rural county is located in the Appalachian foothills and encompasses part of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
Wood said a cousin called from Atlanta and asked her to find the judge and take her out to dinner. Telephone calls to Ballew from The Associated Press rang unanswered Monday, and her voicemail was full.
The hubbub started when the boy's mother sought an order to establish paternity. It included a request for the judge to determine the child's last name.
When Ballew heard Messiah's first name, she decided it should be changed, too, saying the child could face problems with the name Messiah.
The name on his birth certificate was Messiah DeShawn Martin. The judge changed it to Martin DeShawn McCullough, giving the boy his father's last name while replacing Messiah with his mother's surname.
"The word messiah is a title, and it's a title that has only been earned by one person, and that one person is Jesus Christ," she told WBIR-TV in an interview from her office, which had a ceramic figurine of Joseph and Mary with baby Jesus on her desk. A copy of the Ten Commandments hung on the wall.
While Messiah may not be a traditional English name, it is becoming more popular. Messiah was No. 4 among the fastest-rising baby names in 2012, just ahead of King but behind Major at No. 1, according to the Social Security Administration's annual list of popular baby names.
And other religious names are very common, such as Mohammed in Islamic culture and Jesus (pronounced Heh-SOOS') in Hispanic culture.
Asked about the name Jesus, Ballew said it was not relevant to the current case.
A number of countries have rules about what are acceptable baby names. In Iceland earlier this year, a girl won a court battle to legally use the name given to her by her mother. Blaer means "light breeze" in Icelandic, but it was deemed to be not a proper feminine name by authorities, who referred to her in government documents as "Girl."
Hedy Weinberg, director of the American Civil Liberties Union of Tennessee, said the U.S. is different because of the First Amendment.
"Parents, not the government, have the right to name a child," she said. "The judge cannot impose her faith on those who come into her courtroom."
The ACLU has offered to help the parents fight the decision.
Laura Wattenberg, the founder of babynamewizard.com, said she has been using the name Messiah as an example of changing baby names.
"The percentage of kids getting names we think of as normal is shrinking," Wattenberg said. "Today, Paisley is more common than Mary."
Messiah Ramkissoon, a spoken word poet based in New York City, said people sometimes assume his name is a stage name. But he said the name simply represents a messenger and doesn't refer exclusively to Jesus. He added that many people are named Emanuel, which means "God is with us" and is another term used for Jesus in the Bible.
The baby's mother, Jaleesa Martin, told WBIR-TV she chose the name Messiah because she likes the way it sounds and thinks it goes well with the names of her other two sons, Micah and Mason. She said she's appealing the decision and in the meantime will still call her son Messiah.
"I never intended on that — naming my son Messiah because it means God," she said. "And I didn't think a judge could make me change my baby's name because of her religious beliefs."

After openly weeping and apologizing for his behavior, former U.S. Rep. Jesse L. Jackson, Jr. was sentenced to 2 ½ years in federal prison on Wednesday for using $750,000 in campaign funds for personal use.
"Your honor, throughout this process I've asked the government and the court to hold me and only me accountable for my actions," Jackson told U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson. He said, "I am the example for the whole Congress. I understand that. I didn't separate my personal life from my political activities, and I couldn't have been more wrong."
He also said, "I misled the American people, I misled the House of Representatives." Dabbing his eyes with tissues, he said, "I was wrong and I do not fault anyone."
As the younger Jackson delivered his statement, his father, Jesse Jackson, Sr., sat in the first row listening as tears ran down his cheeks and his mother, Jacqueline, donned sunglasses for much of the proceedings.
Jackson's wife, Sandra, a former Chicago alderwoman, was sentenced to a year in prison and will have to serve all 12 months. She must also repay $22,000 taken from her own campaign account for alderwoman. Family members wept when she was sentenced.
Based on time off for good behavior, Jackson, Jr. could be released after completing 25.5 months. In addition, Jackson, Jr. must perform 500 hours of community service.
Because the couple has two children, aged 13 and 9, they will serve time consecutively, with the husband entering prison first. Prosecutors had asked that Jackson Jr. be sentenced to four years in prison and his wife 18 months.
U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson said that Jackson treated campaign funds as "a personal piggy bank."
The judge acknowledged that in the past lawmakers , were more loose with the use of campaign funds, but Jackson's actions far exceeded even those limits.
"There may be blurred lines for Congress to follow when their lives are political, this case did not come near those areas," she told Jackson, Jr., who represented Chicago's South Side for 17 years, "This was a knowing, organized joint misconduct that was repeated over many years."
Jackson, Jr., once a rising political star and the oldest son of civil rights leader Jesse L. Jackson, Sr., pleaded guilty to conspiracy, making false statements, mail fraud and wire fraud. His wife Sandra was charged with filing false tax returns.
According to the federal information filed in federal court, Jackson knowingly misspent campaign funds from about August 2005 through July 2012. It said Jackson and his wife conspired to "enrich themselves by engaging in a conspiracy and a scheme to defraud in which they used funds donated to the Campaign for their own personal benefit."
Prosecutors said among the unauthorized spending was a $43,350 gold-plated Rolex watch for Jackson, Jr., more than $22,000 in Michael Jackson memorabilia, $11,130 for Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. memorabilia, $10,105 for Bruce Lee memorabilia, $9,587.64 worth of children's furniture shipped from New Jersey to the couple's Washington home, a $5,000 football signed by American presidents, $2,775 on Jimi Hendrix memorabilia, $2,200 for Malcolm X memorabilia, a $1,500 black and red cashmere cape, and a $1,200 mink reversible parka.
Reid Weingarten, Jackson Jr.'s attorney, sought to minimize his client's action, saying Jackson did not victimize helpless widows or operate a Ponzi scheme.
However, Matt Graves, an assistant U.S. attorney, called Jackson's crimes "staggering." He noted that the couple had earned nearly $350,000 in 2011.
Graves spoke of Jackson being "wasted talent" who had participated in one of the largest violations of federal campaign laws. Graves even belittled Jackson's bipolar disorder, saying there was no medical evidence presented in court to support that claim.
The judge agreed, noting that there was evidence to show that the purchases were made during a bipolar episode and that none of the extravagant items were returned. The judge called evidence provided to support the defense's bipolar disorder claim "thin."
Reading from a prepared statement, Sandi Jackson cried and said. "My heart breaks every day with the pain this has caused my babies."
But the judge reminded her, "It's not the government that put your children in this position."
She recommended assigning the former congressman to a minimum-security federal prison camp in Montgomery, Ala., or a low-security facility near Raleigh, N.C. She recommended that Sandra Jackson be sent to a similar facility in Florida. However, the Bureau of Prisons will make the final decision.
"The judge rendered a sentence that we're satisfied was fair," said Weingarten after learning Jackson's fate. "The system worked well."
Weingarten continued: "We fully believe that our client, Jesse Jackson, Jr. is going to have another important chapter in his life. He will come back out, and we believe, that he will do great things."
Jackson, Jr. said he hoped his wife can earn enough money to support the family while he is prison.
""When I get back, I'll take on that burden," he said. "By then, I hope my children will be old enough that the pain I caused will be easier to bear."

Special to the NNPA from the Washington Informer
With the 50th anniversary of the historic March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom fast approaching, organizers in the District are gearing up for the stretch run.
Some speakers at the Aug.1 planning meeting said they hope to mobilize 50,000 to 100,000 people from the Washington metropolitan area to come out on Saturday, Aug. 24, and as many as 100,000 to 200,000 people from around the country to commemorate the march. The 1963 march was an event that immortalized the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and the civil rights movement, while crystallizing for the rest of this country just how serious African Americans and like-minded people were about securing a just society.
The Rev. Lennox Abrigo, president and founder of the Washington, D.C. bureau of the National Action Network (NAN), acknowledged the enormity of the project. But he said the coalition of clergy, unions, educational institutions, civic organizations and community groups that attended the two-hour meeting were coalescing around the issue and committing to the march's success.
"Our primary challenge is to mobilize D.C. and the greater metropolitan area and get community leaders to get their people out for the march," he said. "I think the march will be an expression of the individual effects that the various forms of oppression are having on people in this country."
Abrigo, a pastor of the Seventh-Day New Covenant Church and a Germantown, Md., resident, compared the conditions that King and the civil rights movement faced and what African Americans and Latinos face today.
King's efforts, he said, were focused on a small group of people in certain cities, while the pushback that the establishment exerts against minorities today is more individualized. Gay and women's rights, while affecting a smaller constituency of the whole country, have been afforded to people in every state and nationally.
"We live in an era when civil rights is emerging out of individual concerns. People feel that their rights are being trampled and it's not just one group or demographic," Abrigo explained. "This march on the 24th is the fruition, the blossoming of resistance to all this oppression."
Janaye Ingram, NAN's D.C. bureau chief, said that the Rev. Al Sharpton and Martin Luther King, III are the public faces of the march which is titled, "National Action to Realize the Dream."
"We're working to achieve the dream," she said. "We have a lot to fight for, to focus on and to change. This is a fight against those who don't want us to reach our dream."
Bob Ross, president of the Prince George's County chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), touched on a theme that others repeated.
"They didn't have Instagrams or tweets but they got 250,000 people on the Mall," said Ross, who was among the quarter-million people who marched and were on the Mall in 1963.
Ernest G. Green agreed.
"I drove all night from East Lansing, Mich., to be at the march," said Green, who came to national prominence as a member of the Little Rock Nine, the black students who helped to desegregate Little Rock Central High School in Arkansas in 1957. "Bayard Rustin had no social media blasts or anything like that. All he had to work with was 3×5 cards."

More than a dozen candidates were running in Tuesday's primary for Detroit mayor, an office with little immediate power because most operations are being run by an emergency manager seeking to take the city into bankruptcy.
None of the candidates has name recognition outside the city like current Mayor Dave Bing, a former NBA great who opted not seek another four-year term.
The leading candidates to replace him are a former police chief, a perennial mayoral candidate, a fired city attorney and a one-time medical center chief who has launched a write-in campaign. Another write-in candidate is a barber with a similar name, raising the potential that some voters could be confused.
Uncertainty and failure have been standard operating procedure for years in once-mighty Detroit. Last month, it became the largest city in the U.S. to declare bankruptcy under the weight of massive debt brought on by crushing population decline and a history of political corruption and mismanagement.
Some of the favorites for mayor have come out against the bankruptcy filing and contend the man who made the filing — state-appointed turnaround expert Kevyn Orr — is holding the job illegally.
The top two vote-getters in Tuesday's nonpartisan primary will face off in the November general election. That winner moves into City Hall with a title, $158,000 salary and — as things stand now — little else.
Sheila Cockrel, a former Detroit councilwoman and founder of a government relations and advocacy firm, said the bankruptcy proceedings are sure to hover over the next mayor's first term.
"There's no roadmap of where or how this would go," she said.
Only about 15 percent to 17 percent of Detroit's registered voters are expected to cast ballots Tuesday, according to city elections officials.
Seeking to bring stability and turn the city around, GOP Gov. Rick Snyder appointed Orr, a national bankruptcy attorney, in March under a Michigan law that gives emergency managers nearly unlimited power.
On July 18, Orr made the Chapter 9 bankruptcy filing in federal court. He said Detroit is insolvent, unable to pay off debt that his restructuring team says could reach $20 billion. He has stopped paying on $2.5 billion in bonds, using that money to pump up struggling and underfunded city services. He also asked city creditors and Detroit's two pension funds to accept pennies on the dollar in money owed them.
One candidate, Wayne County Sheriff Benny Napoleon, contends Orr was illegally appointed as emergency manager.
"My pitch to him is, 'You're here to straighten out the finances. You have no municipal government experience,'" said Napoleon, the city police chief for three years beginning in 1998. "The emergency manager puts the budget together. The mayor should be able to set the priorities."
Orr, a turnaround specialist who is receiving $275,000 annually for his 18-month assignment, also is getting little love from other candidates.
Tom Barrow, an accountant who lost mayoral runs in 1985, 1989 and 2009, also believes a bankruptcy judge's directives are to be carried out by the city and its elected officials once Orr approves the budget.
"In light of the bankruptcy filing, I don't believe he retains his power under state law," Barrow said of Orr. "Bankruptcy laws kick in. Those laws are explicit that the debtor is the municipality and its elected officials."
Napoleon and Barrow were expected to face a stiff challenge for a spot on the November ballot from former Detroit Medical Center Chief Executive Mike Duggan. But Duggan is running a write-in campaign because a residency issue kicked him off the ballot.
Although Duggan would appear poised to become Detroit's first write-in mayor, part of his challenge will be making sure voters spell his name correctly. That's because another candidate, barber Mike Dugeon, is seeking the job as well. He has never run for elected office and said he filed after being approached by a local television reporter over his name similarity with Duggan.
That could make tabulating the write-ins onerous and time-consuming. Following the primary, county canvassers will go over the spellings on each write-in ballot cast to determine who gets the votes.
"We're going to be fine," Duggan told The Associated Press. "I don't think voters in this city will have any trouble spelling my name correctly. Every place I go people are spelling D-U-G-G-A-N."
Unlike Napoleon and Barrow, Duggan doesn't expect a bankruptcy to turn Detroit back over to the mayor and council.
"My preference would be for the governor to dissolve the emergency manager and let the mayor represent the city in bankruptcy court," he said.
If elected, Duggan said he won't wait until taking office in January to work with Orr.
"I intend to be engaged from the day after the election to push for a plan that leads to a vibrant recovery for the city," he said. "I'll try to convince the emergency manager to adopt my version and, if not, convince the bankruptcy judge to adopt it."
That's the course all candidates should push across to voters, Cockrel said.
"What we should be hearing from candidates is their understanding of the financial crisis, their approaches to facilitating the process of getting through bankruptcy and what their plans and strategies should be," she said.

Christmas has come and gone; however, I hope the spirit of Christmas will not fade away with all the decorations.
Nothing seems to change the human heart like the spirit of Christmas. What other holiday inspires people to stop at the homeless mission on the way home to donate to the poor, or causes people to pick up an extra turkey to give to a soup kitchen before sitting down to eat at their own feast?
What other holiday causes people to dump the content of their wallets into a little red kettle before entering a store to buy something for themselves, or pick a name off a tree in the mall to help a needy family?
We are fortunate to have so many churches that open their doors and share in the spirit through dramas, concerts, hay rides and caroling. One church even canceled its service on Christmas day so the congregation could spend the day with residents of a local nursing home.
At Christmas, people always seem to have enough room at their table for one more, even if that one more might be a stranger. Christmas helps us break our routines and takes the focus off of us and places it on others.
You've got to love it.
The Rev. Douglas Taylor, Lewiston

Latest Qt and Qt mobility evaluation on Maemo
Regardless of the Qt and Qt Mobility versions provided by the Maemo5 firmware, an evaluation build of the latest Qt and Qt Mobility is available from the Extras-devel repository. These libraries cannot be used for publishing software to Ovi (or promoted to Extras) nor do they come with any warranty, but are good for evaluating real-life performance and behavior. The components that are part of this initiative are labeled with experimental in their package names. They are installed in parallel to the Maemo5 libraries, so they pose minimal danger to your existing install and do not affect stable software written for Maemo.
NOTE: All the packages referenced are found in extras-devel
Qt Mobility 1.1.1
Both QtSDK and Scratchbox environments are supported. Use the one you're more familiar with.
QtSDK install
Download the mobility packages from maemo.org (bearer (legacy), contacts, declarative, Headers (-dev), feedback, gallery, location, messaging, multimedia, organizer, publishsubscribe, sensors, serviceframework, systeminfo, versit)
Open a shell prompt and go to the directory with the downloaded files and install them into your rootstrap with:
/path/to/your/QtSDK/Maemo/4.6.2/bin/mad-admin xdpkg -i filename.deb
(or, if you are installing them all at once)
for i in `ls libqtm*deb` ; do ~/QtSDK/Maemo/4.6.2/bin/mad-admin xdpkg -i $i ; done
\path\to\your\QtSDK\Maemo\4.6.2\wbin\mad-admin.exe xdpkg -i filename.deb
(or, if you are installing them all at once)
for /f %%a IN ('dir /b *.deb') do call C:\QtSDK\Maemo\4.6.2\wbin\mad-admin xdpkg -i %%a
(yes, sadly, xpkg can install only one package at a time, so you will need to repeat this for each of them)
Scratchbox install
Make sure extras-devel is enabled in you repositories, and do
apt-get update apt-get install libqtm-11-dev
Install on actual device
apt-get install libqtm-11
For Qt to know which mobility version to use, you will need to specify the following
maemo5 { CONFIG += mobility11 } else { CONFIG += mobility }
in your projects .pro file (instead of CONFIG += mobility). For help and discussion about this version, see the maemo.org community developer thread. Note that you don't have to have to add the config option if you are just using the QML bindings.
(Ville) Confirmed to work: Multimedia ("player" demo can stream rtsp video, full screen works)
(Ville) Confirmed to work: QmlMapViewer example with qtm-12 ("import QtMobility.location 1.1", Map, MapCircle, MapMouseArea). Does *not* work with qtm-11.
Qt Mobility 1.2.0 tech preview
It is used in an analogous way to libqtm-11 (bearer (legacy), contacts, connectivity, declarative, Headers (-dev), feedback, gallery, location, messaging, multimedia, organizer, publishsubscribe, sensors, serviceframework, systeminfo, versit):
apt-get install libqtm-12-dev
in scratchbox and
apt-get install libqtm-12
on the device, and in you .pro file you need:
maemo5 { CONFIG += mobility12 } else { CONFIG += mobility }
NOTE: The 1.2 release is in a TECH PREVIEW status. APIs can change and/or break without notice.
Using the libraries from QMLIf you want to use the QML components of Qt Mobility, you have to add their paths to the QML search path. For the qmlviewer application, you can use the
-I /opt/qtm11/imports
viewer.engine()->addImportPath(QString("/opt/qtm11/imports")); viewer.engine()->addPluginPath(QString("/opt/qtm11/plugins"));
For Qt Mobility 1.2, just replace "qtm11" with "qtm12" in the above text. If you are using PySide, you can achieve the same using:
viewer.engine().addImportPath('/opt/qtm11/imports') viewer.engine().addPluginPath('/opt/qtm11/plugins')
Again, replace "qtm11" with "qtm12" if you are using Qt Mobility 1.2.

Systemic wars of the third millennium26/06/2008 Written by Roberto Preatoni
Just about a few days ago, an appealing news appeared on the Internet. It regarded the deployment of a new generation of unmanned combat drones on a real battlefield.
We are not talking about aerial drones, here we are talking about ground soldier-drones, the real stuff we were all waiting for. Well, sort of.
The news is about the decision of the US Military to deploy eighteen more of the same combat drones who were already deployed, experimentally, on the Iraqi territory. Three units, to be precise. Are those artificial soldiers anything new? Not really.
If you followed Zone-H in the past years, we gave an extensive coverage of the US Future Combat System military program. We even crafted a speech at Defcon hacker conference a few years ago as well as we produced an episode of our comics based on the F.C.S. concept (Hero-Z - ep. 2: War Games).
The equation in which cyber-military programs and hackers are strictly related was demonstrated by the fact that during our speech on F.C.S., the front row of the Alexis Park Hotel's conference room was packed with green suits.
At that time, the F.C.S. was a multi-billionaire US military program that was initiated by the US Government under which the way US went at war should have been totally re-designed.
Traditional warfare? Bye bye. Welcome the new concept of a hyper hi-tech army, where aerial, naval, terrestrial drones are connected with the troops thanks to a super-network, based on a mix of satellite and ground microwaves telecommunication system.
All data managed by a militarized Linux version, developed by the Berkeley University.
What happened to the F.C.S., the daring project managed by US Boeing Industries and having a cloud of specialized sub-contractors? Initially went over-budget, then re-funded. Later on on some news papers it appeared the news that the project was stopped, now it's re-appearing again or at least, excerpts of it…
As explained by the US DoD, the drones deployed experimentally on the Iraqi territory are limited in power and autonomy.Originally the concept was to have fully autonomous A.I. driven drones, a special team of F.C.S. subcontractors was hired to develop the necessary technology in terms of visual recognition, artificial intelligence and networking.Did they succeed? As we expected, apparently not completely. Yet.
In fact, the newly deployed ground combat drones are mere extensions of the body of a remotely located human operator.
There were too many concerns among US Military in terms of rendering the drone fully autonomous by implementing the current status of A.I. technology developed so far by the F.C.S. subcontractors.
To put it simple, they didn't want to rely on the drone's A.I. fearing of US troops casualties due to friendly fire. Loosing US soldiers lives because the drone would shoot at the wrong target is something unacceptable from the political and public opinion point of view.
Concerns that Chinese Military authorities might not have, we'll talk later about that.
At this point, the question from the hacker's point of view should be: how the combat drone is connected to the remotely located operator? Is it by digital or analogue signaling? Is it through a dedicated or through a standard protocol?
Here we have to speculate, but we'll try to do it wisely.
Analogue or digital controlling? A combat drone which needs to rely on a complete remote controlling operator has to transmit/receive the following data:
– Audiovisual, the remote operator has the need to rely on a high definition video stream in order to shoot at the right target. Sure, to minimize the risk of shooting against friendly troops US Military declared they employed "special security solutions" such limiting the ground zone in which the drone is fire-ready and avoiding that the shooting turrets could turn toward friendly troops. These "special security solutions" are obviously candies specially crafted for US media and public opinion, nobody here believe they can be any effective.
– Telemetry, you don't want to loose control of your systems because you weren't capable to foresee the incoming failures: electric status, engine status, heat status, tire status, gearbox status, ammo status, network status, fuel status.
– Blue Force Tracking system capability, google for it ;)
In this view we can presume they are already relying on a sort of remote digital controlling system.
Cleared that, the next question is: proprietary or standard protocol for such digital controlling system? A proprietary protocol *might* be in place at the current status of the project, but in view of future implementation of the drones in the US combat grid, we can presume that they will adopt a sort of TCP-IP enhanced protocol, standard within the whole US combat grid. Especially because they have big expectations from meshed military telecommunication grids.
And that's bad.
Whenever you have a super military power such US, which is investing a lot of resources (financial, human, political, technological) into improving their war performances, you always end up with a sort of systemic war. Sun Tzu understood it a couple of millenniums ago, why shouldn't you?
An hypothetical war between two super powers such China and US would end up in a war between systems. Hackers here might come in handy.
Vice-versa, an hypothetical war between a super power and a poor country would end up in a sort of asymmetric warfare, having the super power deploying systems on the battlefield and its poor opponent finding that once again, hackers might come in handy. It would be easier to try to take over (read: hack) your opponent hi-tech warfare systems rather than trying to defy them by traditional war means, make sense?
Don't be surprised should you discover that nations are already spying each other trying to catch information on their opponents as well as friends' warfare technology. You are too smart to be such naïve, aren't you?
Regardless, here we have one of the first drone operators, Sgt. Santiago Tordillos, distributing bonus hacker candies during one of the demonstrations given to the press:
"The thing is not shooting on its own. You've got to have these," he said, waving a set of small, silvery keys, which fit into a lock on the Talon's briefcase-sized controller. A single switch causes the robot to reboot and return to safe mode.
Thanks a lot, Sgt. Tordillos. I guess marines should attend some basic security courses as well, beside the traditional combat training.
Currently there are only a bunch of nations potentially in possession of the necessary skills to develop an alternative hi-tech war program to the US's F.C.S. You can count them on the fingers of your hands, let's see which ones and let's speculate on their real power and drive.
U.K : They have a decent technology background but they are not that much innovative. Try to remember, when was the last time you bought some high tech hardware designed and produced in Charles and Camilla's land? Beside, they still have to solve the issue of driving on the wrong side. Thankfully they are not completely traditionalist. While they still enjoy watching jurassic/weird sports such cricket and Ascot horse races, guys such Sir Richard Branson are already managing to shoot civilians into space bringing them back to earth safe and sound. But Sir Richard Branson seems to be interested only in technology applicable to the civilian world and not to military technology. Is he?
Germany: they are still fighting with their post Hitler heritage, which was heavily influencing (on the negative side) every single step they decided to take into the development of any kind of new war technology in the last 70 years. Beside that, think about their top-notch car stereo technology. Companies such Blaupunkt and Becker are supplying, since ages, car manufacturers such Mercedes with stunning, reliable, indestructible technology …designed in the 70's.
France: they are certainly in possession of the necessary skills to manage huge hi-tech projects in direct competition with US's similar projects. Think about the Airbus consortium, in direct competition with US's Boeing. They also possess good military and telecommunication technology (France aerospace, Sagem etc). They even have the chauvinist drive which is a must, should you decide to develop something non US-centric. But… it might be easier for them to spy on their neighbor's technology rather than developing their own one, considering the immense budget that is needed to develop something like the F.C.S. from scratch. Call it post-Echelon self-defence habit.
Italy: among the G8, they are good in developing engine/mechanical technology, they have huge innovative capabilities, they are even good in researching into (but not developing) cyber technologies but historically they are always fighting with their tendency to serve half baked pies. Sorry, pizzas.
Italy it's the country that decided to develop nuclear plants, then they stopped the construction half on the way through because it was "dangerous" (post Chernobyl foes that Italy's not-so-much-post-communist politicians sold well to get green votes) finding themselves in the need to buy the missing energy from the French nuclear plants, located a few meters away from the Italian borders. Beside, their huge national debt isn't allowing them even to buy new tires to replace those worn-out ones equipping their 60 years old military trucks. Damn, they have such a good potential, if only they weren't Italians…
Arab and oil rich countries: they are very rich thanks to the oil, but they possess zero technology, totally relying on western technology even for the extraction of their own oil. Beside, they seem to prefer to use their money to buy expensive German luxury cars with their Blaupunkt and Becker 70's car stereo technology, rather than investing it in long term social, industrial and engineering development plans. Dubai? An even less meaningful Las vegas that still have to prove it has a sense.
Japan: "they have the best technology but they are only good in copying it from westerns, improving it in terms of quality, size, price and efficiency", this is a bullshit stereotype coming from the 70s. The truth is that now they developed some excellent innovative skills and in terms of Artificial Intelligence r&d they could teach to the rest of the world. Unfortunately they once did have the money, not anymore thanks to a wise US currency war. Over the time they became very much US dependent from the market and cultural point of view and they will never, ever dare to develop such war technology, preferring to invest their robotic efforts in developing those gorgeously looking, sexually attracting fembots we all would love to marry with.
Russia: they had ugly, shitty war technology that was always working well and on which Europeans still rely to send their people to space. Have you ever seen the Baikonur space launch facility? Its technology it's coming from the 60s, but it's still alive and kicking well. Jokes apart, nowadays Russian men are too busy in making money and their gorgeous women in finding exotic ways to spend it rather than thinking of taking over the world with systemic wars. They just prefer to buy it out, Abramovich docet.
China: They do have the money, they even possess the vast majority of US foreign debt. They have excellent war technology and development capability. They are extremely good in creating and managing huge, sorry HUGE projects. They have the chauvinist and practical drive to be the best in the world. They can decide to move a whole city and their inhabitants should it be necessary to use the same land plot to build a new mega-factory or a new Olympic facility.
They absolutely haven't any innovative capability (but they had it a thousand years ago). Nonetheless:
– they have the money to buy brilliant westerns minds (think about Huawey industries) to solve their lack of innovative skills.
– they are prone to spy and steal our technology, not giving a shit about what the rest of the world is thinking about it. RIIAA's plans over there, seriously? To buy counterfeited copies of Hollywood movies at a very cheap price to be sold later as original in US.
Last but not least China has already invaded our territory by selling us the core technology of the electronic system on which westerns are basing entirely their own lives and economy. God knows what kind of "unsolicited embedded hardware" (yes, we can be diplomatic as well, our last report on Chinese hackers opened up some issues between Italian secret services and Chinese diplomats) our made in China systems are already implementing. (God bless US & Israel, whose systems are crystal clean, right?)
Have you seen the latest Die Hard movie? If not, you should. The plot is nice, a psychopathic terrorist plans to take over the US national critical infrastructures asking for a ransom. And he does it, shutting down critical system after critical system by means of commissioning to smart programmers and hackers small pieces of work that only once put together might serve the purpose of the plot.
Beside the kung-fu and the explosions, I was very much impressed by the accuracy adopted by the movie script when representing such scenario. It's evident they used some skilled advisor during the movie production in order to make it looking plausible.
I must admit it, I was jealous. I wish such advisor was me.
Sticking to the topic, days ago, I managed to finish the so much acclaimed Metal Gear Solid 4 video-game. Okay, I' m 41, so what? I still indulge myself in playing silly video-games from time to time.
Wait a minute, did I say silly? I must apologize with Hideo Kojima, the Metal Gear Solid saga producer and mastermind.
While I find Kojima's in-game videos too much long and boring (some cut scenes are 45 minutes long…) the plot of the last Metal Gear Solid videogame is very much appealing. In a nutshell, it's all about a hi-tech war system, similar to F.C.S. that it's taken over by third parties. Soldiers gets paralyzed and systems get compromised. Hacker's stuff, once again.
Remember George Orwell's 1984 and the big brother? Now we have it, no doubts. Today we are experiencing something that 70 years ago was forecasted in a movie. The question is how long should we wait to experience what has been brilliantly forecasted in Die Hard 4 and Metal Gears Solid 4 (from the general public perspective, as here we all know it already)

It's as simple as that. Twice grammy nominated David Young says he stumbled into a series of synchronicities that lead him to believe George Harrison is visiting him in meditations and even writing with him.

When New Labour (through the lips of Tony Blair) adopted the catchphrase, 'Education, Education, Education' back in 2007, one presumes that the intention was not to demonstrate that the listening British audience was so thick that it was necessary to say things three times in order to generate a glimmer of understanding. At a time when political 'spin' was being reinvented and turned into a science, the phrase was no doubt designed and intended to be memorable – and so it proved. The words came back to haunt New Labour, much to their chagrin, and they were re-quoted a good deal more than three times (and not in a kind way). Similarly, since first coined about a century ago, the catchy strapline 'Location, Location, Location' has stuck as a way of emphasising that no other feature of a property matters more than the environment and position in which it is situated. Get that right and a lot of other things become possible. But get that wrong and you can spend all the money you like and never be able to compensate for it. Unfortunately, it appears that all this endless repetition has another unwelcome side effect. 'Regulation, Regulation, Regulation' appears to be the new mantra of health and social care. We have our medical and social care colleagues to thank for this, and in particular the likes of Shipman, Neale, Ledward, Allitt et al. Bristol, Cleveland, Alder Hey and Haringey, West Kent, High Wycombe, Rochdale and Mid-Staffordshire are no longer just places on the map for those of us working in healthcare and social care – they are all important milestones on a journey we would have preferred not to take.
History books
Self-regulation of professions like ours is a concept that will soon be unimaginable to future generations, and consigned to stories exchanged from the laps of grandparents in the same way as descriptions of traditional ribbon typewriters might be today.

Fishing Club promotes use of snook slings to minimize damage to fishSaturday, August 10th, 2013
Snook season is closed until Sept. 1. But even when the season is open, most snook must be released because they don't fit into the legal-to-keep slot size of 28 to 32 inches.
Nonetheless, many anglers want to get accurate weights for big snook to enter in contests — or simply for bragging rights.
That presents a problem. Hanging a big snook by the jaw to measure its weight can damage the fish.

A: Yellowy orange with a light soda like carbonation
S: Tangerine, pomelo, apple, orange honey
T: Very light, just a hair bitter on the end. Almost juice like, like a not very sweet pear juice.
M: light body with a tingle of carbonation at the end
O: For an English IPA, quite nice, but I'm not an EIPA fan.

Nice spiky pine nose, at least at the start, then some deep stark bloody meat before mpoet of it dissipates. Crisp clear light golden colour. Like the nose the hops give a strong first impression before they just fall away. Some reasonable just off white foamy head.
On the tongue there is a slight metallic element too. Sort of reminiscent of Meantime IPA without the depth. Want to like this, a lot, but that's how I see it.
Not a patch on the cask version.

330ml bottle (£2.80, Inn Deep, Glasgow):
Clear, light golden amber with a thin and patchy lacing on top.
A hoppy citrus aroma with some grapefruit and tropical fruits along with a moderately bitter aroma and about average nose strength.
Citrus to start off the taste although this comes across stronger than in the nose. There is some grapefruit and bitterness with the tropical fruits coming through. I could detect some spice as well and some floral hops coming through.
Smooth and light medium bodied beer with a good pine bitterness and plenty of hops with a nice citrus tang. Carbonation levels are medium.
A pleasant and somewhat refreshing taste that proved very easy to drink. The beer went down well and although not one I'd seek out again, it is a beer that I will probably have again at some point in the future.
