Regardless of the amount of selections, the potential player value added during the NFL draft cannot be underestimated. Teams spend countless hours evaluating players and determining the value they can add to their organization. And though one's college resumé helps develop a player's draft stock, the harsh reality of the NFL is that nothing is certain. There are college players that enter the draft that can immediately turn around the fortune of a team, and there are those that never realize their full potential and set back the team that selected them. Entering the draft, there are college players who can immediately turn the fortunes of a team around. Conversely, teams can be set back by failed draft picks who never realize their full potential.
Missing out on 'sure thing' early round selections can be devastating. No matter the position, the first couple of players drafted by a team are expected to be serviceable, dependable, and with the potential to be dominant for years to come. And though there are no certainties in the NFL, one might surmise that it's harder to whiff on early round players who have proven over the course of their college careers that they possess the aforementioned qualities, and are prepared to impose their will at the next level.
More difficult - and potentially more important - is a team's ability to find those characteristics in players in the later rounds. The hill is steep for players drafted in the late rounds, as they're competing against players hoping to retain their roster spot, other rookies, and NFL free agents. But when a team is able to discover a late round 'gem' in the draft, the payoff can be exponentially rewarding. Players like Tom Brady [drafted 6th round: 199 overall] and Arian Foster [Undrafted] are prime examples of NFL players who were underestimated on draft day, yet their teams reap the rewards of their realized potential.
Mr. Irrelevant - for those not familiar - is the last player selected at the end of each years NFL Draft. The Rams came very close to bestowing the honor to running back Daryl Richardson in 2012, when they selected him with the next to last pick [252nd overall].
To compare Daryl Richardson to Tom Brady or Arian Foster would be wrong. It's not my intention, and it's not a prognostication. Daryl Richardson, though, was both serviceable and dependable for the Rams last season, while allowing veteran Steven Jackson to take a much needed breather. Richardson - drafted five rounds after 2nd round selection Isaiah Pead - won the backup job prior to kickoff of the regular season, and became a regular contributor throughout the course of the regular season. He displayed quickness and agility that complemented Jackson well, and changed the dynamic from Jackson's power rushing style. The small school product played in all 16 games of the 2012 season, and showed flashes of the big play ability you'd expect to see from college's top prospects.
Statistically, Daryl Richardson wasn't a world-beater, and at no time was he ever expected to take over the starting gig. The fact that he was deemed a backup by Jeff Fisher, though, should speak volumes about the value the Rams feel they got with their final draft selection. To many NFL fans, Richardson won't be a household name. For Rams fans, though, he should be viewed as one of the steals of this past draft.
Just how have the Rams done in selecting a serviceable player with their final pick in each of their past ten drafts?
2012: Daryl Richardson, Abilene Christian, RB. 7 (45) 252
2011: Jonathan Nelson, Oklahoma, DB. 7 (26) 229
2010: Josh Hull, Penn State, LB. 7 (47) 254
2009: Chris Ogbonnaya, Texas, RB. 7 (2) 211
2008: David Vobora, Idaho, LB. 7 (21) 252
2007: Derek Stanley, Wisconsin-Whitewater, WR. 7 (39) 249
2006: Tony Palmer, Missouri, G. 7 (35) 243
2005: Madison Hedgecock, UNC, RB. 7 (37) 251
2004: Larry Turner, Easter Kentucky, C. 7 (37) 238
2003: Richard Angulo, Western New Mexico, TE. 7 (40) 254
For newer Rams fans, recognizing names on this list will be no easy task. For older Rams fans…well…the same applies. Outside of Richardson, there's only one player on this list who is currently still on the Rams roster. Can you spot him? Regardless, there are a few of the Rams' final draft selections who actively participated in at least one of the three phases of the game, and there are some that never dawned the horns.
So let's get to the meat-n-potatoes of the matter. Just how well [because I know the suspense is killing you] does Richardson stack up against a decade of Rams' final draft picks? Interestingly enough, 7 of the past 10 years the Rams have selected an offensive player with their final pick, though two of them played offensive line. For those that didn't, and could've potentially tallied yardage in the team's rushing/passing attack, here's a glance at their contributions over their [very] short tenures with the team:
Rush Yds
Rec Yds
Daryl Richardson
Chris Ogbonnaya
Derek Stanley
Madison Hedgecock
Richard Angulo
Richardson amassed 638 offensive yards in 2012, while the rest of the Rams final draft picks [who played RB/WR] totaled 300 combined yards over the course of eight NFL seasons. No matter the capacity, it's clear that the coaching staff saw potential in Richardson, who was the only final 7th rounder other than Madison Hedgecock [2005] who played in all 16 games as a rookie.
To be fair, though, striking gold in the 7th round is no easy task. Potentially even more clear is the difficulty to obtain players who will remain on the roster or even play a down for the team. Had the Rams been able to rely on - and realize results similar to - players like Daryl Richardson, they'd be better off for it. They've certainly had their fair share of 7th round picks over the past decade.
The Rams have had 91 total picks since the 2003 NFL Draft. 22 of those 91 were 7th round selections. That means that 24.1% of the Rams picks came in the final round of the draft. If you add in 6th round picks - taking the total from 22 to 31 - the Rams have used 34.1% of their picks to supplement their roster in the final two rounds of the draft. NFL teams that do not trade their picks [retaining picks in rounds 1-7] would draft 14.3% of their players in the final round. Here's a breakdown of 7th round picks by year:
2012: 2 out of 10 total picks (20%)
2011: 3 out of 8 total picks (37.5%)
2010: 3 out of 11 total picks (27.3%)
2009: 1 out of 7 total picks (14.3%)
2008: 2 out of 8 total picks (25%)
2007: 2 out of 8 total picks (25%)
2006: 3 out of 10 total picks (30%)
2005: 2 out of 11 total picks (18.2%)
2004: 2 out of 7 total picks (28.6%)
2003: 2 out of 11 total picks (18.2%)
If the Rams are going to be utilizing [more so averaging] nearly a quarter of their draft picks on 7th round players, they'd better be hitting on their earlier selections or start finding ways to draft more players like Daryl Richardson. They haven't been. The Rams drafted 34 players between 2008 and 2011; only 8 remain on the roster [Robert Quinn, Lance Kendricks, Austin Pettis, Sam Bradford, Rodger Saffold, Eugene Sims, James Laurinaitis, & Chris Long]. Six of those eight were drafted in the 2nd round or higher. No players originally drafted by the Rams prior to 2008 still play for the team.
The last five Rams' drafts have been more a lesson in attrition than retention. And the last decade indicates that the Rams' final draft selection has added little - if any - value to the team. Daryl Richardson may not lead the Rams to five Super Bowls, and he may not rush for 4,200+ yards in three seasons, but the Rams found something in last April's draft that they hadn't in at least ten years.
Assuming he progresses, and even in a timeshare situation, 2013 could be a very exciting year for Richardson. That is unless the Rams utilize a first round draft pick on a player like Eddie Lacy, and squander any chance of Richardson impacting the Rams rushing attack. Figuratively speaking, players like Richardson only come around once in a decade. Even if he's not the feature back, it'd behoove the Rams to include him in their 2013 game plan.

South Dakota law enforcement teamed up to conduct a couple of sobriety check points in the last month. The latest was the first weekend of June 2,050 drivers were stopped. 12 were arrested for drunk driving, 8 for drugs. But as Nancy Naeve reports, what you might not know is what some of those officers go through to be able to spot impaired drivers before a breathalyzer is ever given.
Before officers, deputies and troopers ever get to this point, checking drivers in a blocked off sobriety check point, some of them go the extra distance to make sure they are completely dialed in to tell if you are lit up. That advanced training program is called the South Dakota Drug Recognition Expert Training and Certification. It happens once a year in this state, most recently in Sioux Falls. One day of the 3-week intensive program involves volunteers drinking hard alcohol in a controlled environment while the "law enforcement students" are in a different location doing class work. The instructors made sure every "i" was dotted and every "t" crossed before their eyes became blood shot.
KSFY's Morning Producer Erin Heinert and our Editor Michael Steffl volunteered to toss some back and be on camera to show how the field sobriety training works. DRE State Coordinator Sgt. Ryan Mechaley with the SD Highway Patrol tells me they use alcohol as a baseline, but are really focusing on the drugged driver. Once they become an expert in the behavior of someone drunk, it will seem more obvious to them if they are using drugs.
"The training is needed in South Dakota and the US because we are seeing an increase in drug impaired drivers," Sgt. Ryan Mechaley said.
After 4 hours of monitored drinking, the law enforcement students in the program came in to start doing field sobriety checks on the volunteers.
"If a person is under the influence of alcohol we have that measurement .08. With drugs there are no measurements so when the officer is performing a sobriety test and someone is doing worse than what the expert thinks that usually indicated that drugs are involved," Sgt. Mechaley said.
The law enforcement students rotated around each volunteer testing them like they would during a field sobriety test, checking their balance: walk and turn, one leg stand, & examining their eyes everything except a breathalyzer to hone in their observation skills. Their intoxication varied between volunteers. Erin registered a .069, below the legal limit, while Michael was legally drunk at .104. Highway Patrol Trooper Jason Husby out of Vermillion says the extra training is definitely worth it.
"I think a lot of times we focus on alcohol impaired drivers and we are missing some that are just as impaired or just as dangerous to the public. This will increase our chances of locating them and removing them from the road," Trooper Jason Husby said.
All 13 students, 9 from South Dakota, 4 from Minnesota passed the class training, plus the field test in California and a final comprehensive exam. As drivers you should know you won't get away with drunk or drugged driving much longer because more men and women in uniform in this state, considered the best of the best, are taking the initiative to become Certified Drug Recognition Experts.
South Dakota has 43 Drug Recognition Experts out of 1,776 law enforcement officers. 22 of the 176 troopers are DRE's.

Mike Sims: Social action is not only central to my identity as a Reform Jew; social action led me to become a Jew.
Growing up Christian in the small Texas town of Bailey, I was surrounded by good, decent folks, all of us trying to live a good life on earth while looking forward to rewards in heaven.
After college I moved to Washington, D.C. to work for Senator Lloyd Bentsen. On the streets of D.C., I confronted urban poverty and homelessness for the first time. Seeing such pain and suffering, I began to realize that people need help in the here and now as much or even more than they need rewards in the hereafter.

Since then, my Judaism has centered on social action. For the past few years I have served as chair of our temple's Social Justice Advocacy Committee, using the skills I learned working in government to help change government. Our committee worked to defeat a Texas constitutional amendment banning gay marriage and to pass legislation condemning the ongoing genocide in Darfur.
Recently I returned to Washington with 15 Temple Emanu-El high school students who were among the hundreds of young people attending the Religious Action Center's L'Taken Social Justice Seminar. After exploring a wide range of issues and learning how to lobby Congress, the students chose their issues, and, working with the RAC staff, put together a lobbying presentation that explained why the issue was important to the country, to us as Jews, and to them personally.
Monday morning we walked up Capitol Hill to the offices of two conservative Republican senators and one very conservative Republican House member, hoping to change their positions on immigration reform. Armed with text from Leviticus reminding us of our duty to the stranger and a story of one of their grandfathers who had immigrated illegally but went on to become a prosperous businessman, these young people made their presentations beautifully, even though they changed no minds.
Walking back down the Hill, the students felt good about the process. They understood that elected officials need to hear differing views. I also reminded them that as Jews we are not called to completely fix the world; we just have to do our part to repair it—to make things better in the here and now.
I think those 15 Jewish kids made Capitol Hill a better place that day. I was proud to be there with them as a fellow Reform Jew.
Marzy Bauer: My parents were socialists…culturally Jewish, but they rejected what they deemed to be irrelevant Jewish ritual. So, other than attending an occasional cousin's bar mitzvah, I never set foot in a synagogue for most of my childhood or adolescence. That being said, I was taught certain values from an early age: thou shalt not cross a picket line nor buy clothing without a union label; thou shalt give to the poor and to oppressed minorities, feed the hungry and clothe the naked, and treat people fairly without regard to differences. And so my passion for social justice was instilled, along with a desire to keep learning.
Two factors led me to join an organized Jewish community. One was moving from New York City, where one can be Jewish by breathing, to Indiana, where explanations are required. The second was having children. My husband and I became members of a Reform congregation when they were small, and got involved. I joined an adult b'nai mitzvah class in 1986. Having never read Torah in any form, I was pleasantly surprised when preparing my Torah portion, Emor, to read verse 23:22: "And when you reap the harvest of your land, you shall not reap all the way to the edges of your field…you shall leave them for the poor and the stranger." Aha! That was the genesis of the stuff I'd heard about all of my life!
Two decades and many classes later, my social justice leanings have morphed into a Jewish context. I am now the Social Justice chair for our congregation, and my passion is Just Congregations, where we enact meaningful social and political change by building relationships within the temple community and with neighboring groups outside of our tradition, with whom the majority of our congregants have no natural interactions. Speaking truth to power, empowering groups that have never been players in the political system—it's inspiring. Reform Judaism weaves in our traditional teachings with the present day and urges us to action.
Kathy Ruiz Goldenkranz: Social action has always been central to my identity. I am a Mexican American and a Jew by choice. My extended family, both my mom and dad's families, were all Central Valley farm workers. At the age of 14, I worked for the United Farm Workers, setting up and participating in corporate grocery store chain picket lines. As a high school student I marched in the streets of Modesto against the Gallo Wine company's practice of hiring non-union labor at below the union wage to work in the grapevine fields in deplorable conditions. That same year, 1972, I wrote a letter to then California Assembly Speaker Leo McCarthy, who was authoring a bill to make it illegal for companies to hire children under 14 to work in the fields. I knew this issue well because starting at age 7 I'd been cutting grapes from the vines outside Fresno, working 8 hours a day in the hot sun and earning about $3 a week. As a result of my letter, I was invited to testify in Sacramento, and I am proud to say that the bill passed.
That experience transformed me. I have been an activist ever since—union organizer in the building trades, board member of a community dental clinic providing excellent care for low- and moderate-income people without insurance or on assistance, and founder and chair of an interfaith coalition which promotes full lesbian/gay/bisexual/ transgender inclusion within houses of worship in our neighborhood.
In addition, through my temple I co-chair the healthcare team that is part of Communities Organized for Relational Power in Action, a 25-member faith-based community organizing group that advocates for justice and fairness in healthcare, immigration, public safety, education, affordable housing, and economic justice. This issue is deeply personal: I am one of 22,000 women in America who is a victim of a faulty jaw joint implant that was untested yet approved by the FDA, and which has cost me upwards of $25,000 a year for the last 17 years.
When I teach community organizing, I like to tell the story in Parashat Jethro/ Yitro (Exodus 18:1–27). Burdened by his workload, Moses has sent his wife and children to live with her father, Jethro, who is a Midianite priest. At the Israelites' camp Moses holds court in his tent for many hours each day to hear and decide upon the disputes of the Israelites, one by one.
After a while, Jethro comes to see Moses; he wants Moses to be reunited with his family. Seeing the long line of people waiting for Moses, Jethro knows that his son-in-law cannot continue to live like this. He advises Moses to establish a leadership council within each tribe to hear and handle individual grievances, except for the most extreme cases. Moses follows Jethro's advice.
This parashah teaches two lessons: First we can benefit from the insights and ideas of people from other faiths. No person can or should try to handle all matters alone. Instead, he or she should empower others to share in the workload—it's through teamwork that we create a just society. Second, family comes first, followed by the needs and concerns of others. Once the tribal leadership subgroups were created, Moses' family could return home and be with him once again.
To be most effective we need balance in our lives. When I prepare my 7th grade temple school students for becoming b'nai mitzvah, I always tell them that doing their own social justice work will add to the joy of this milestone, creating a balance between being the center of attention/receiver of gifts and helping others in the community. This is how we perform God's work on Planet Earth.
Liz Cohen: When my husband and I joined our congregation 20 years ago, I wrote in "social action" on the interest form. As a "wannabe activist," I felt this would be my path to acting on my good intentions. Eventually, from that note, I was asked to form and chair a social action committee. This turned out to be a transformative moment for me—finding my place to do social action creatively and consistently.
For the past 15 years, as host congregation in our county's Interfaith Hospitality Network, we have been welcoming homeless families into our synagogue in up to 6 weekly rotations per year. I feel this embodies all that is best in our Jewish tradition: welcoming the stranger, seeing the worth and dignity of every guest, joining together as a community to help, and addressing root causes through advocacy.
My activism is strongly guided by the teaching in Pirkei Avot, "It is not for you to complete the task, but neither are you free to desist from it." Initially I focused on finding the task, the piece of healing that felt within reach. But over time I have found that it is the reaching out and joining with others that really gives this text its meaning; there is great power in connection and shared values, and it is our task to find and build on that with others.
Part of this means reaching out, one person at a time. For our temple's social action service last year, I asked several people to share their stories of how they got involved in social action, and much to my surprise, a repeated refrain in these stories was "Liz asked me." It was a valuable affirmation that efforts to engage others really do matter.
Still, I do struggle with meeting my "ideal of social action." At times I feel I fall short by not getting others to share in the work, and then I feel isolated and sometimes overburdened. Also, occasionally I get excited about so many issues and needs, I'm ineffective in acting on any of them. I am trying to be more aware of attaining balance in my efforts; my growing attention to building relationships in the work is very helpful here.
Mark Young: Do our lives have a divine purpose or are we just specks of dust in the universe? No matter which answer is true, you can't go wrong by reaching out to help other living creatures on Earth. I can think of no better way of doing God's will than performing mitzvot and acts of gemillut chasadim (lovingkindness).
For me, one of the most attractive aspects of Reform Judaism is its emphasis on social action. Before I became a Jew by choice, participating with my synagogue in supporting food banks, homeless shelters, coat drives, etc. gave me time and space to become familiar with practical Jewish values and teachings.
These days, one of the greatest joys for my wife Jane and me is when our 24-year-old musician son visits children's convalescent hospitals with us, our temple's mitzvah group, and recently our cantor and junior choir. Many of the patients we see have profound congenital disabilities and will never fully recover. Some people think they're unable to communicate, but we've learned this is far from the truth.
Our son finds ways to make contact, soul-to-soul, by singing and playing music. So-called "unresponsive" children begin to smile, laugh, clap, move, vocalize. One teenager was even moved to write a beautiful poem, which Harrison set to music on the spot. The kids let us know they don't want the music to end, so the Youngs are usually the last ones to leave. At these times we know we must have done something right, teaching the joy of sharing the gifts that God gave us—l'dor v'dor.
Judy Fisher: My path to social action began in 1964 when my father participated in the March on Washington and heard Martin Luther King, Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial. I was 6, and I still remember my father talking about it. It was a defining moment, for him and for me.
As an adult, I believe social action is a moral imperative; as Pirkei Avot 2:20-21 says: "You are not obligated to finish the task, but neither are you free to neglect it." At Congregation Beth Israel I've chaired the Tikkun Olam/Social Action Committee, where our Hunger Project, in partnership with St. Vincent de Paul, has offered about 750 homeless people a lovely brunch every Sunday morning for the last 22 years. Our synagogue provides funding for the food and CBI volunteers, including b'nai mitzvah students and their parents, serve the meal. I'm also proud of having chaired the San Diego Walk for Darfur in November 2006, in which nearly 2,000 walkers—400 from our synagogue alone—raised almost $100,000 for medical supplies in the Darfur and Chad refugee camps.
There is so much to be done….
Jennifer Warriner: Each of us has a moral obligation to try to set right what is wrong in the world. I remember the phrase Theodor Herzl placed on the cover of his 1902 novel about a Jewish state in Eretz Yisrael, Altneuland (Old New Land): "Wenn ihr wollt, ist es kein Marchen" ("If you want, it is no fairytale"). If people really want change and are willing to work together and make sacrifices for the common good, they can make the fairytale a reality—as any map produced after 1948 demonstrates.
Ellen Morrow: I feel both commanded to engage in social action and guilty that I'm not more involved in a regular way, though I do take small individual steps, inspired by the Hillel quote: "If I am not for myself, who will be for me? If I am only for myself, what am I? If not now, when?"
Marjorie B. Green: As a secular Jew, I didn't turn to Jewish sources to inspire my commitment to tikkun olam, but I was thrilled to find in Torah texts a message that reinforced my commitment to social justice, or what I now call my Sinai consciousness. My rationale for why I care so much for the stranger is right there in Exodus 22:21: "For I was once a stranger in the land of Egypt."
I was raised in a secular household by politically progressive parents, but my views were also shaped by beloved grandparents whose world was still influenced by the shtetl and the cautionary "sha, sha, don't speak out." And, after my father was blacklisted during the McCarthy era, he too urged me to be careful and "for Heaven's sake, don't sign anything." But I seemed to have a nerve that jangled whenever I perceived injustice. Perhaps Rabbi Sidney Schwarz was right when he said: "The concern for the stranger, the pursuit of justice and peace, the empathy for the poor, and the commitment to truth and fairness is buried deep in the soul of every Jew."
When the Civil Rights Movement began—not with preachers, but with students just a bit older than I was sitting in at lunch counters—I suddenly had role models. No, I did not have the courage to do as I longed to, to participate in Mississippi Freedom Summer. But I was able to march—for fair housing, for women's rights, and against the Vietnam War.
And when the courts ordered Los Angeles schools to desegregate, I spoke out across the community, urging parents to comply and concluding my remarks by saying my 3rd grader would be riding the bus in the fall. He did. And because the fear that not all children would be receiving a quality education kept me up at night, I became an activist.
A year ago, I read Sue Fishkoff's article, "Social Justice Moves to Front of Some Congregational Agendas," and learned that others were sharing my feeling that temple mitzvah days are not enough. Although feeding the hungry is an act of lovingkindness and makes the mitzvah doer feel good, it doesn't make the hunger vanish. That's why our temple is taking the first steps toward congregation-based community organizing. We're part of a collective that crosses lines of race, class, and religion to "extend the boundaries of righteousness and justice in the world" (Genesis 18).
Barbara K. Shuman: Social action is not central to my identity as a Reform Jew. I recognize this as an area where I fall short of the mark, but I continue to be drawn to other ways of experiencing and expressing my Judaism. While I try to support a number of causes financially, and do not deny the obligation of Jews to repair our broken world, I myself am just not called to do this politically.
Abbey Shepard-Smith: These days social action is more important to me than it once was, mostly due to my greater awareness of injustices and my rabbi's deep, intense, unwavering commitment to making a difference in the world. I formed a committee at my temple which, in November 2006, led our first annual community Mitzvah Mall, a unique, alternative holiday shopping experience that featured local, national, and international charities. Approximately 40 tables were set up like a traditional holiday bazaar—but instead of representing different retailers, each table represented an organization that provides assistance to those in need. Rather than buying yet another tie or bottle of perfume, shoppers honored friends and family by purchasing groceries for a hungry local family, a juvenile diabetes testing kit, a therapeutic outing for a child affected by terrorism, or a cell phone for a battered woman. The 250 shoppers of all ages raised nearly $7,000.
Dawn Mollenkopf: What's important to me is encouraging people to become more accepting of those whose beliefs and cultures differ from theirs. At the university campus where I teach, I persuaded the administration to add Chanukah and Kwanza symbols to the Christmas displays, and introduced a policy allowing faculty and students to take time off to celebrate religious holidays not recognized by the state. In my department, I bake foods for different Jewish holidays and put them out with a description of the food and the holiday; people have been very appreciative. I've also encouraged local stores to carry Jewish cards and displays for other ethnic groups.
Martin Graffman: In my view, Judaism is a 5,000-year-old conversation between God and the Jews about what is the right thing to do and how to do it. Doing the right thing defines the Jew.
The Rabbis Speak
"We are obligated to pursue tzedek, justice and righteousness, and to narrow the gap between the affluent and the poor, to act against discrimination and oppression, to pursue peace, to protect the earth's biodiversity and natural resources, and to redeem those in physical, economic and spiritual bondage."

Former long time J.P. D. Vice Detective William Gladney has succumbed to illness.
The retired sergeant joined the Jackson Police force in 1979 as a patrolman.
He later became the face of the vice division, conducting raids on prostitution, street level crimes and enforcing adult entertainment and other city ordinances.
In 2002 he was among 30 veteran J.P. D. Officers who sued the department for age discrimination.
The U.S. Supreme Court sided with the older officers but dismissed the suit because they could not prove deliberate discrimination.
Gladney left the force in 2008 at the age of 56.
He worked in the detective bureau for 26 years, reportedly the longest serving detective in the history of the department.
Jackson police officials told WLBT Gladney died Friday night after a lengthy illness.

This means that the search engine robots wont be able to access the deeper levels of the database where the majority of parts are. They just run the pages down to Level 3 & 4 and can go no further. Thats as far as the sitemap will let them go.
But in the process, we do make an extensive recording of their activities, and where they go. And this led us to identify the user-agent who filled in the form.
It could be a spoof, so we will wait and see if that account is accesssed, or if we get any more forms filled in by these robots.
Its a bit like watching someone's bank records to determine where they are.
It all happens after the fact.

What is the IP Address range of Google robots ?
Don't know, but if you type in the address into a reverse DNS lookup, you can read the address it is registered to. If it is really Google, the output of the IP address would look like this:
OrgName: Google Inc.
OrgID: GOGL
Address: 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway
City: Mountain View
StateProv: CA
PostalCode: 94043
Country: US
Please tell us the result!

Google has signed up for our e-commerce store.

1. Was it get or post?
2. Did it have to fill in text fields?
3. There wasn't a captcha, was there?
etc etc.
One thing though: can we tell the difference between a Google employee spoofing him/herself as Googlebot and Googlebot proper?
And what exactly was the the User agent? I bet it's the new Mozilla/5.0 one...

This is the form,
The difference between an employee and a robot is sorted out using that code. But more importantly, the generic nature of the data submission was the big giveaway.
We have never seen anything like it.
If anyone sees that in their e-commerce signup pages, let me know.
If the Googlebot actually logs in, it will be a first for any of our websites. The implications are quite substantial.
Will Google actually log in ?
If it does log in as a customer, and finds different content, which in this case it would, what will it report in the SERP's for that page ? Or would it report a different page.
Are there sites where people offer a free login signup, but dont want that content trawled or displayed by Google ?

Five-Year B.S./M.S. Degree Program
GW MAE offers a five-year dual degree program for the B.S. and M.S. in all areas of mechanical and aerospace engineering. The GW Undergraduate Bulletin lists this under School of Engineering and Applied Science, Special Programs, Five-Year Programs. The five-year program differs from the standard B.S. in mechanical engineering in that:
- In the seventh and eight semesters, three 3-credit courses are taken at the graduate level (200 level courses or 100 level courses that have been annotated that they may be taken for graduate credit). Two of these courses must complete the requirements of the four year Bachelor of Science curriculum (and focus area if applicable) as one of either the required courses or technical electives. One of these 3-credit courses is in excess of the requirements of the four year Bachelor of Science curriculum.
- In the ninth and tenth semesters, students take eight 3-credit courses at the graduate level. Alternatively, in ninth and subsequent semesters (probably extending beyond a total of five years) students take a total of five 3-credit courses and a Master's thesis (6 credits).
- Courses taken as a part of items 1 and 2 above must satisfy the requirements of the Master of Science Degree and be chosen with approval from their advisor (see http://www.gwu.edu/~bulletin/grad/seas.html Master of Science Degree Program, Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, Representative Areas of Focus Leading to the Master of Science for list of required courses).
MAE undergraduate students of junior standing consult with their academic advisors to apply for the program. The undergraduate advisor recommends the correct graduate courses to the student for senior restricted electives. The student applies through the normal GW MAE MS application process during the seventh semester. Students must have a 3.2 GPA at the end of the sixth semester to be admitted to the program and must satisfy all requirements for graduation with a Bachelor's degree at the end of the eighth semester to continue in it. All requirements for master's degree students are in effect for the graduate portion of the program.

LITTLE BIRDIES AND BIG BLOGS: High School Blog Program
Kelly Thompson
Going into the Varscona Theatre for Pervert, the last show of this season for NLT (Yes, I am crying too), too early isn't a bad thing. It will give you ample time to take in the captivating set used for this play. While the wall of black and white porn is seemingly two dimensional, the collages of Playboy and other various porn magazines hanging in the background add to the XXX fresco, but yet, don't detract or block. While waiting for the play to start, while listening to the interesting pre-show music, I'm sure that your eyes will wander through the various males, females, and everything in between, all posted on the back wall. And just as you think you've uncovered everything about this wall, which I'm sure is the most interesting set I've ever seen, the lights will dim, and you are shot into a world of porn, fetishes, and oddly interesting philosophy .
The play itself isn't about porn, I wouldn't say, but rather uses it as a launching block for the main themes that are developed throughout the play. From the beginning, a montage of the main characters going on through their everyday life, to the end, a Shakespearean-style ending after sudden turns and twists, the play is sure to keep you captivated. The actors themselves are amazing, able to switch from the humorous to the serious, and know when to do so. The play, like always, runs like clockwork, and the actors immerse you into this fictional, porn-filled world.
The way that this play unrolls, ninety minutes of pure drama and excitement, is inspiring. You don't experience very often the emotion that was in this play, and, as much as you don't know quite what to expect before you go into the theatre, you're happy you saw the play once it's all done. The play certainly fits with the phrase, "Ending with a bang", and I think that this is a perfect way for NLT to end another season of amazing plays.
And so, while this is the last play for this season, this is also my last blog for this season. I've had an amazing time as a blogger for NLT, and I would like to thank everyone who made this a possibility! As well, I would like to thank everyone that took the time to read my blogs. Once again, thanks so much! This is Kelly Thompson, signing off.
"You can approach the act of writing with nervousness, excitement, hopefulness, or even despair--the sense that you can never completely put on the page what's in your mind and heart. You can come to the act with your fists clenched and your eyes narrowed, ready to kick ass and take down names. You can come to it because you want a girl to marry you or because you want to change the world. Come to it any way but lightly. Let me say it again: you must not come lightly to the blank page." – Stephen King

Language Implementation Patterns: Create Your Own Domain-Specific and General Programming Languages
Reviewer RatingsRelevance:
Buy it now
One Minute Bottom Line
|This book gives you the knowledge to create your own domain-specific and general programming languages.
In high-school I created ACID1, a clone of the BASIC programming language. ACID1 was never completed though I felt I could take the world down with my very own programming language. That did not happen. ACID2 was born some years later in a college dorm. It did not work either.
With these failures, I learned an important lesson. ACID1 was created with no prior knowledge of language building whatsoever. ACID2 was, however, created with a surplus of theories (The Dragon Books anyone?). A middle ground was required.
I found Language Implementation Patterns (LIP, if you will, since we are quite pleased with K&R, CLRS, TAOCP, etc.) by Terence Parr about a month ago. When I picked it up, my internal alarm went off, I felt it was going to be a good read.
I knew I was going to enjoy this book because Parr has been teaching language applications programming for years and because the book comes from the famous Pragmatic Bookshelf. Guido van Rossum, creator of Python, commented: Throw away your compiler theory book!
As predicted, the book did not disappoint me, and will not disappoint any programmer with interests in language applications. LIP is the perfect mix of theory and practice. LIP is the perfect working ACID.
Parr uses Java for his examples. I confess that I barely know Java. But half the patterns I have translated to Python. This wouldn't have been possible without his explanations.
Each pattern has a Purpose, a Discussion, an Implementation, and Related Pattern section. Patterns are grouped together in chapters in such a way that when you've completed the chapter, you have a complete skill.
In chapter 2, Basic Patterns, for instance, I reminisced strange symbols like LA, LL(1), LL(k). Only this time they made actual sense and were put in a real world example. Professor Parr explained why you don't need LL(k) for, say, a simple list ([a,b,c]) parser.
Parr uses his popular tool ANTLR a lot in the text and this might annoy some. It is also my only regret. In his defense, good alternatives to ANTLR are scarce.
There are 31 patterns in LIP. You dont have to know them all. Just where and how to find them:
- Chapter 10, Building Bytecode Interpreters, is easily my favorite. For long I wanted to learn how bytecode interpreters work. Chapter 10 discusses two patterns: Stack-Based Bytecode Interpreters and Register-Based Bytecode Interpreters. Popular Lua uses a Register-Based Bytecode Interpreter for example. Python is Stack-Based.
- Chapter 13, Putting It All Together, is the ice cream. In that chapter, Parr shows how to put your patterns together to fix real world problems: finding patterns in proteins structure, building a scripting language to generate 3D scenes, and tweaking, Java. Needless to say, Chapter 13 is chapter You can't skip it.
- I believe chapters 1 through 6 are the core. The matter. The substance, like my chemistry professor used to say. Patterns from these first six chapters are all you need to build a simple language. With Chapter 13, that's 7 chapters not to skip.
- Fellow dynamically typed languages lovers: Chapter 8, Enforcing Static Typing Rule, will fill our faces with smile and brighten our day, let's not skip it. It is even essential knowledge.
Parr has written a small classic here. The book deserves a place on the golden shelf. I once asked Brian Kernighan (bwk for those who know) what constitutes a good book. And his reply was insightful.
Kernighan wrote that he believes in books that are authoritative, are written by authors who love what they are writing about, instead of what is hot. He added that books should be pragmatic and useful rather than theoretical and philosophical.
Thank you to Parr for LIP that fulfills all the above requirements.

Cumbrian businesses face heavy fines
Businesses from Carlisle, Cockermouth, Keswick and Workington are all facing heavy fines for employing illegal workers.
Home Officer Immigration officers visited a number of businesses last week and individuals were questions to see if they had the right to work in the UK.
- Four Bangladeshi men were arrested at Indian restaurant Rahi at the Waterloo in Aglionby, Carlisle.
Two of the men, aged 22 and 29, were working in breach of their visa conditions, a 33-year-old had overstayed his visa and a 57-year-old had entered the country illegally.
Three of the men tried to escape through the back door but were stopped by enforcement officers.
- Two men from Iraq who didn't have permission to work were found at Carlisle Hand Car Wash on King Street.
One of the men, aged 23, was a failed asylum seeker, while the other, aged 24, had overstayed his visa.
- A 31-year-old man from Bangladesh, who didn't have permission to work, was found at Paprika Indian Restaurant in Workington.
- Officers also arrested two Bangladeshi men at Fiza Spice in Cockermouth. The men, aged 29 and 30, had overstayed their visas.
- Another two Bangladeshi men, aged 23 and 43, were arrested at Royal Bengal in Keswick, as they had overstayed their visas.
- A 39-year-old Canadian woman was arrested at a house on South Watt Street, Workington, for overstaying her visa.
The two Iraqis found at Carlisle Hand Car Wash, the man found at Paprika and the 29-year-old arrested at Fiza have all been placed on immigration bail while their cases are progressed.
They will be faced to leave the country if they are found to have no leave to remain.
The others are in immigration detention pending removal from the country.
The businesses were served notices warning that a civil penalty of up to £10,000 per illegal worker found will be imposed unless proof is provided that the correct right-to-work checks were carried out.
Potential fines include:
- £40,000 for Rahi
- £20,000 each for Carlisle Hand Wash, Fiza and Royal Bengal
- £10,000 for Paprika
– Wallace Wilson, from the Home Office North East and Cumbria Immigration Enforcement team
"Illegal working has a serious impact on communities, undermining legitimate businesses and taking jobs from those who are genuinely allowed to work.
"We are happy to work with businesses in Cumbria to let them know what checks need to be made on staff, but those who break the law should know that they will face financial penalties.
"These arrests are also a stark warning to anyone who is in the UK illegally.
"We will catch up with you and you will face arrest, detention and removal from the country.
"I would urge anyone with detailed and specific information about suspected immigration offending to get in touch."

Shawn R. McCarver, Esquire
Termination of parental rights for parental unfitness is affirmed where factors related to father's lengthy incarceration render father unfit for the reasonably foreseeable future. Father is incarcerated out of state, and is thus unable to receive services or have visitation. Further, he is not expected to be released until 2016, he was unable to establish a bond before being sent to prison due to the young ages of the children, he has no other relatives willing or able to care for the children, and upon release from prison, he would have to begin the process of working on parenting skills and establishing a bond with the children – a process that could take years. In Interest of C.S. and C.S., Jr., No. 73782 (Mo. App. W.D., November 1, 2011), Mitchell, P.J.
Father was arrested for possessing a stolen firearm while mother was pregnant. Father was incarcerated by the time the twins were born. Mother committed suicide, and the children were placed in the custody of the Division, in the home of the Knights, one of whom was a relative of mother. From prison, father indicated he was opposed to termination of his rights, and he told the worker he would do whatever was asked of him. Father maintained contact with the worker by e-mail, sent cards and letters to the children, arranged to have Christmas gifts sent to the children, attempted to have his sister take the twins, and had both his sister and his mother visit the twins after mother committed suicide. Father's sister decided, however, that she could not care for the twins.
Due to his imprisonment, Father was not able to visit the children or to receive any other services. His imprisonment prevented the children knowing him and also prevented the establishment of a bond between father and the twins. Neither father nor any of his relatives provided support for the twins.
Father's parental rights were terminated for neglect and for parental unfitness. Father appeals, alleging that his rights were terminated solely because he was incarcerated. On appeal, the court found that sufficient evidence supported termination for parental unfitness. The trial court's finding that father is unfit is not based solely on father's incarceration. Termination is, instead, based on factors related to father's incarceration. Those factors include the fact that father is incarcerated out of state, and is thus unable to receive services or have visitation, he is not expected to be released until 2016, he was unable to establish a bond before being sent to prison due to the young ages of the children, he has no other relatives willing or able to care for the children, and upon release from prison, father would have to begin the process of working on parenting skills and establishing a bond with the children, a process that could take years.
Held: Termination affirmed.
Termination of parental rights for abuse/neglect and failure to rectify on the aggravating factor of permanent mental condition is reversed where mother received substantial services; made more than minimal progress on two service agreements; issues with cleanliness of mother's home were largely corrected; and mother's mild mental retardation and depression were treatable, allowing mother to correct her parenting deficiencies with help, although mother's depression could impair mother's ability to parent and might cause mother to lack the motivation to develop necessary parenting skills. In Interest of L.J.D., No. 96322 (Mo. App. E.D., November 15, 2011), Odenwald, P.J.
Mother appeals the termination of her parental rights for abuse/neglect and failure to rectify on the aggravating factor of permanent mental condition. Child remained in mother's care for the first eleven months of life, but was removed because of unsanitary conditions in the home. Mother received considerable services and entered into two service agreements.
During a single session involving several tests, mother was diagnosed by the testing psychologist with mild mental retardation and depression, which "could impair" mother's ability to parent the child. The psychologist never observed mother with the child and never met the child, and testified that mother's depression might cause mother to lack the motivation to develop necessary parenting skills. The psychologist admitted that she had similarly diagnosed patients who were excellent parents, that mother's condition was treatable and that mother could correct her parenting deficiencies with help. This evidence is insufficient, as a matter of law, to support termination of parental rights.
In order to terminate parental rights on the aggravating factor of mental condition, the condition must (1) be supported by competent evidence, (2) be permanent or not likely to be reversed, and (3) render the parent unable to knowingly provide care, custody and control. In addition, even a qualifying mental condition cannot be the basis for termination if the parent has access to additional support because parenting is frequently a "group effort." Further, the legislature has enacted §§ 211.447.5(2) and 211.447.10, which, respectively, prohibit discrimination based upon disability or disease and prevents termination of parental rights based upon a disability or disease without showing a causal relation between the disability or disease and harm to the child.
The cleanliness issues related to the home had largely been corrected by the time of trial, although mother had lice shortly before the trial and there was speculation that mother may expose the child, who suffers from asthma, to cigarette smoke. Neither issue was cause for termination.
As to the service agreements, the standard is whether mother made progress, not whether she completed the agreements. Although mother failed to accomplish some of the benchmarks of the agreements, she made more than minimal progress toward the agreements.
Termination reversed.
(1) Where juvenile is charged with a status offense, same due process accorded to juvenile charged with delinquency does not apply, so trial court did not err in refusing to dismiss or stay proceedings after determining juvenile was incompetent. (2) Rather than dismiss or stay proceedings, trial court correctly appointed a GAL so that juvenile was represented by both a GAL and an attorney. (3) Clear and convincing is the correct burden of proof for a status offense. (4) Section 211.059 is not violated where juvenile is not questioned, but instead makes spontaneous statements. (5) Section 211.061.1 is not violated where juvenile is not taken immediately to the juvenile officer after arrest, but instead is driven a few blocks back to the scene of the crime so the arresting officer can confer with juvenile's mother, where delay and deviation was not unreasonable. In Interest of A.G.R., No. 73007 (Mo. App. W.D., December 27, 2011), Pfeiffer, P.J.
Juvenile was charged under a second amended petition with a status offense (behavior injurious to the welfare of a child) by exposing his genitals and placing his hand on the hand of his two-year-old niece and moving her hand up and down on his exposed penis. When picked up by the police, juvenile made a spontaneous statement, after which he was instructed by the officer not to speak about anything that occurred. The officer took juvenile a few blocks back to his uncle's house, where the acts had occurred, and told juvenile's mother that juvenile would be transported to the police station and from there juvenile would be transported to juvenile detention.
Although initially charged with an act of delinquency, the juvenile officer amended the petition to charge a status offense. After a competency evaluation, the court determined that juvenile was mentally incompetent and appointed a GAL to advocate for juvenile's best interests. Juvenile also had a lawyer to represent him. Legal counsel moved to dismiss or stay the proceedings while the juvenile remained incompetent. The trial court denied the motion. Juvenile appealed.
Although moot, the court considered the appeal as a matter of general interest and importance. As juvenile was charged with a status offense, rather than an act of delinquency, the due process rights accorded criminal defendants do not apply. Due process requires competence to stand trial in a criminal matter, however, there is no such requirement in civil cases. Instead, parties who are incompetent are entitled to appointment of a GAL. A status offense is unique to juveniles and such offenses are treated differently than delinquency offenses. The burden of proof is clear and convincing instead of beyond a reasonable doubt, status offender records are closed, and different rules apply to the use of secure detention. Status offenders may not be placed in secure facilities unless later adjudicated for delinquency, sex-related acts charged as status offenses do not require sex offender registration. A status offense is not a prior offense for purposes of mandatory certification based upon commission of two or more prior unrelated offenses, and status offenses cannot be used in certain sentencing consideration in subsequent adult criminal proceedings. Since juvenile was not exposed to the consequences of a delinquency adjudication, protections available to delinquent offenders are not afforded to the juvenile. Failure to dismiss or stay the proceedings was not error.
Juvenile's complaint that the court should have applied the beyond a reasonable doubt burden of proof is also rejected, as the juvenile was charged with a status offense. If no procedure is specifically provided in the rules, then practice and procedure customary in proceedings in equity govern a juvenile proceeding. The burden of proof in equity proceedings is clear, cogent and convincing evidence.
Since § 211.059 was not violated, there was no requirement to suppress juvenile's statements. Although juvenile was not read his rights, he was not questioned. Finally, taking juvenile back to the scene of the crime a few blocks from the place of arrest was not a violation of § 211.061.1 since the delay was not unreasonable and involved conferring with juvenile's mother to advise her where juvenile would be taken.
Held: Affirmed.

Michelle Yeoh is in Italy for the 2011 Rome Film Festival.
She attended the premiere for 'The Lady' wearing a Valentino Resort 2012 gown.
Her soft grey gown has a beautiful embroidered bodice with the same detail stripped on her skirt.
Whilst her green bangles and green watch complement the green stones in her earrings, they bring down the look for me.
A wavy side-swept bun and a croc clutch completed her look.
Earlier in the day Michelle attended the photocall for the movie wearing a Salvatore Ferragamo Fall 2011 strapless striped dress.
Once again her styling let her down as she teamed an olive vest top with her dress.
To make matters worse, she added a tan belt.
An oversized cuff and black ankle boots completed her look.
Michelle can usually be relied upon to bring us head-to-toe perfection on the red carpet, but she was clearly having an off day yesterday.

When Google announced that it would shut down Google Reader effective July 1, it was a double-whammy for me. Not only did I use Google Reader, but I also used a desktop program, FeedDemon, that synchronized with Google Reader. Right after Google made its announcement, FeedDemon's developer, Nick Bradbury, announced that would mean the end of FeedDemon.
I am a voracious reader of blogs and news. I read them to find blogging ideas, to keep up with my practice areas, and to keep up with my interests. I have roughly 500 sources I follow on a regular basis. To get through them all, I've relied heavily on the combined features of Google Reader and FeedDemon.
If you are not familiar with either of these products, they are both RSS readers. RSS — which is generally said to stand for Really Simple Syndication — is a way of having new blog posts and news items delivered to you. That way, you don't have to navigate from blog to blog and site to site to see what is new. Virtually all blogs and news sites have RSS feeds.
An RSS reader such as Google Reader lets you add any blogs or news sources you want to follow and read their updates. You can organize feeds into folders and add tags and stars to individual posts you want to follow-up on.
I had long ago come to rely on FeedDemon as my primary news reader. It has a number of features that are helpful to a power user, including the ability to read items when offline. What I most liked about it, however, was how easily it allowed me to scan updates and then move through new items with just a tap on my keyboard. Given all the sources I try to follow, the ability to move through items quickly is paramount.
I also liked that it let me save items to clippings folders, so I could set up folders for my various blogs and interests and come back to them later. (The latest version of FeedDemon no longer has this feature.)
Although FeedDemon is a desktop application, it synchronizes seamlessly with Google Reader. Thus, I could use Google Reader on my iPhone or tablet and when I would return to FeedDemon on my laptop, the items I had viewed would be marked as read, any feeds I had added or deleted would be updated accordingly, and any items I had starred in Google Reader would be starred in FeedDemon.
Thus, the demise of Google Reader and the concomitant demise of FeedDemon sent me scrambling.
Within days, I had a reprieve. Soon after announcing that he would shut down FeedDemon, Nick Bradbury changed course and said that he had been so overwhelmed by user response that he would release a new version of FeedDemon that no longer synchronized with Google Reader. He said he would do it sometime before July 1, that it would have all the features of FeedDemon's pro version, and that it would be free, but that it would be the software's last version ever.
So far, that update has not arrived.
My New Reader of Choice: Feedly
At first I was thrilled to read that. However, without Google Reader synchronization, FeedDemon would require that I use it only on my computer. That would not work for me. As I noted above, I also need to be able to read feeds on my phone and tablet.
After experimenting with some of the other RSS readers out there, I think I've finally found a new platform to feed my RSS addiction — Feedly. Apparently I am not alone. Feedly's website says that more than 3 million Google Reader users have made the same switch. (It knows this because it allows you to synchronize with and import your feeds from Google Reader.)
Some of the features that I like about Feedly are:
- Works across my devices. For my laptop, Feedly offers a Chrome extension that allows it to work seamlessly within my browser. A Firefox extension is also available. Feedly also has apps for iOS and Android so you can use it on your mobile devices. All of your activity across all of your devices is fully synchronized.
- Allows me to move quickly through items in my browser. I use Feedly's keyboard shortcuts. (To see this, type "?" while in Feedly.) To move to the next item, I just tap j. To move to the next feed or category, I tap shift plus j. To share an item on Twitter, I type t.
- Allows me to move quickly through items on my mobile devices. Feedly has mastered the art of the swipe. Swipe to the left to move through items. Swipe up to mark a feed or category as read. Swipe the opposite way to undo a mark. Swipe from the left to see your full list of feeds.
- Multiple layouts. Icons at the top of the screen let you switch quickly between headline-only views or more graphical views.
- Easy sharing. Buttons let you quickly share items to Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, Evernote, Google+ or other services.
I have been using Feedly for a few weeks now and have come to like it more than Google Reader. When July 1 arrives and Google Reader disappears, it will not, after all, be the end of the world.

I was also a dedicated Google Reader user. I used the Google Reader app on my android phone and Byline (which synced with Google Reader and also allowed offline access) on my iPad.
Like you, I've switched to Feedly for my desktop reading. However, Feedly itself does not offer offline access. Therefore, I've installed some apps on my mobile devices that Feedly integrates with and that support offline reading. On my android phone, I've been using gReader; on my iPad, I'm testing both Newsify and Reeder to see which one I like better.
For more information about Feedly integrations, see http://tinyurl.com/lej8fh2 (Feedly Blog) and http://tinyurl.com/n7ypp2d (The Next Web).

Bob-I've been using (and writing about) Feedly for years. I even recommend it in the book I co-authored with Carolyn Elefant "Social Media for Lawyers" which was published in 2010. It's great to see people finally trying Feedly for themselves. I've found it to be a tremendous tool and a great way to stay on top of and filter blogs and other online information. Hope it works out for you in the long run!

I am in exactly the same boat as you – utterly dependent on an RSS reader and distraught that Google Reader is shutting down. Interestingly, I came across Feedly about a month ago and am a big fan as well (in fact, I came across this post on the Feedly app).
Definitely gets the job done – as good as Google Reader if not better!

Dougherty Co.-- One in five homes in America now has a security system, and the billion dollar home security industry is seeing record growth.
But Police Departments say false alarms from home security systems can be a big waste of manpower and tax money. They could even be a danger.
A security system at a church alerts a monitoring center of trouble. The alarm at a back door has been triggered. They alert Police. Officer Bill Smith responds to the alarm, backed up by two other officers. They check the door, and then all around the building. They check the cars parked behind the church. It turns out to be a false alarm.
South Georgia Police repeat this scene dozens of times every day. Lt. James Harris says "Nine out of every 10 alarms we answer are false alarms."
But so many false alarms could be deadly for officers. "They are some of the most dangerous calls that you can answer," said Harris.
Sgt. Julius Phillips says "You try to treat every call like the real thing, never drop your guard."
Officer Bill Smith says "You have to treat each call like the real thing, because that one could be."
Home security companies are busy in South Georgia. Charlie Callahan of Central Monitoring Services says "Our business is growing weekly, about 20 new accounts in Albany every week."
One reason home security systems are so popular, they work. This home has three features to protect a patio door off the back yard. Callahan says "We have a door trip so that if the door is opened, an alarm will sound. This is the glass break monitor. Any sound of glass breaking will set it off. And on the wall there is a motion detector, so that any movement will trigger the alarm."
Some alarms are connected to monitoring businesses like Central Monitoring. Their customers systems are monitored around the clock. Lynda Wolters shows the computer, and says "We can know exactly which alarm is going off. We know if it is the back door or window."
The monitoring center then calls the home to decide if Police, Fire, or EMS need to be dispatched. The home security industry is trying to cut down on false alarms. Many cities, like Albany, fine homeowners if they have too many false alarms. The three most common causes for false alarms, are faulty equipment, faulty design, and user error.
User error is by far the most common. Wolters says "Some people think they can open and shut their door quick enough, but you can't do it. The alarm is quicker." Improved technology is also cutting down on false alarms.
The system installer says "This is a glass break detector. It takes both vibration and sound to set off the alarm." nat sot of setting off alarm. Sgt. Phillips says "They do deter crime. I have one myself."
Lt. Harris says "They work good, but when the weather is bad, they might go off five to six times in 10 minutes." Officers have to check those calls, never knowing if it is a false alarm or not.
Lt. Harris says "Everytime we respond, our hearts are pounding."
A dangerous time for Police, but security systems offer what people want. Wolters says "It's peace of mind, you can sleep safely." Despite the false alarms, the police are glad security systems are becoming more common. Sgt. Phillips says "It makes it harder for the bad guys, so that helps us."
Home security experts say false alarms can be reduced by making sure everyone in the home knows how to properly operate the system. The systems should be tested at least once a month.

Hi Guys,
Is there any resources for scripting using Python Scripting Language available either on this forum or elsewhere on the net? It's a bit of a funny issue really, as if you search for PSP scripts you usually get a load of pages for Sony's console. Scripts specifically for Raccoon and Python S60 features / modules are what I'm after to expand my own mobsite.
What I'm trying to achieve is a small calendar unit on the right hand side of a scheduling section which draws a mini calendar and has a link only on the days where something is in the calendar for that particular day. Like an event calendar so to speak. When you click on the link it refreshes the left of the page with a list of what you have scheduled for that day.
I can work out the admin side of things so that people (with proper access) can add / amend / delete calendar entries, it's just this calendar browsing function that I'm after. Much like the built in calendar example but using PSP and able to change the look using CSS style sheets and with links on the days which have data rather than listing the items in the day itself as the calendar object on the right has to be rather compact.
For an example think about the calendars which airline websites typically have or actually thinking about it, a web-based version of the built-in calendar. Is this possible?
Cheers guys!

How do you listen to music?
Question: If your computer is turned off, how do you listen to audible music at your house?
Currently, I have my Zune 30 docked and hooked up directly to a set speakers, but for reasons that are outside the scope of this post, I will probably be getting rid of my Zune (It'll be a sad day.). That being said, I'm looking for recommendations on what I should do next.
I watch very few tv shows or movies (and don't even own a television), so possible solutions do not need to include a visual component. Also, I would prefer to not rely on streaming services, although I'm not totally opposed to the idea.
Side note: I know there's a lot of hate on the Verge for actually managing your own music files. However, I've always lived in the middle of nowhere without a good enough internet connection to fully rely on streaming services, so I have a copy of all the music that I care about on my computer.

Decatur – A Decatur man is behind bars after firing a gun, when asked to leave a party.
Decatur Police say 26 year old, Edgar George Junior walked into a home in the 13 hundred block of Forest Street. George stayed at the residents for a while until he was asked to leave because he was arguing with others in home.
One woman asked him to leave and he became physical with her, pushing her into a wall. Another woman was pushed to the floor, when she asked him to leave. The two women stated that George had to be physically removed from the home by others.
Once outside George displayed a small black firearm, aimed it in the air, and shot the gun. George does not have a valid FOID card. On further investigation it was found that George is also a felon.
George faces possession of a weapon by a felon, reckless discharge of a firearm, along with other charges.

How does this relate to our humble little film blog, you ask?
Well, the article holds the seeds of hope that we might be able to go back one day and prevent this dire occurrence from happening:
I suppose we could also try and fix this Caveh Zahedi thing which I'm already tired of reading about. Though I guess people talking about release patterns is a hair more interesting than people talking about grosses.

'Crash' Coming to the Small Screen
Oscar-winning racial drama Crash is being adapted for the small screen and will appear on televisions across the U.S. next year. The movie version starring Sandra Bullock, Terrence Howard, Matt Dillon and Don Cheadle, won Best Picture at the Academy Awards in March. The film's producer Cathy Schulman says, "I hope it will air in the next year. "The actors from the film will show up. Don Cheadle is a producer and will also be on at least a few episodes. "We'll see about everyone else."

Paul Simon So Beautiful or So What It appears that Paul Simon has been thinking about going somewhere unlike all of the many lands around the globe that he has visited over the years in search of musical inspiration. He is giving thought to the final expedition, the big trip across the divide to the only place that even he cannot plunder. Simon will turn seventy in the same year as both Art Garfunkel, the creamy-voiced journeyman who stood placidly at Simon's right side for years, and Bob Dylan, the peer of Simon's whose towering specter has always hovered near Simon's other side.

The airplane rises from the runway. Bent, folded, and spindled into the last seat in coach class--the one that doesn't really recline--I pull my Kindle out of the seat pocket in front of me, slide the little switch, and lose myself in Matthew Crawford's story of his passage from policy wonk to motorcycle mechanic.

The book begins, in the title poem, with the world's response: Toward evening, the natural light becomes intelligent and answers, without demur: "Be assured! You are not alone..." Perhaps the question expressed solitude, even the fundamental solitude of the uncertain and inconsolable human mind.

The time has come to take a fresh look at the achievement of Roger Shattuck, who died in 2005 at the age of eighty-two. From his first book, The Banquet Years, published exactly half a century ago, to his last major work, Forbidden Knowledge, Shattuck was one of America's most adventuresome students of modernity, at once a celebrant of some of the wildest reaches of artistic experiment and a critic of the twentieth century's dream of unlimited, ever- expanding horizons.

Permanent Residency Application Packets
Researcher and Staff Petitions:
The EB-2, standard recruitment category is an option available to researchers and classified staff that have worked at Georgia State University for two years and work in a position that requires a Master's degree or higher. This is a complex, expensive and time consuming category and is rarely used at Georgia State.
A more detailed comparison of employment-based categories and their requirements is explained here.
Once a category has been chosen the department must first complete and submit the Permanent Residency Intake Form (PDF) along with one of the packets listed below.
To help guide the hiring department through the permanent residency process, ISSS has prepared packets that include checklists and detailed time lines for each step. Please note the processing times for each step: ISSS will not need items from the checklist for later steps until the earlier ones are completed.
EB-2, Special Handling (full-time, permanent faculty) (PDF)
EB-1, Outstanding Researcher Professor (internationally acclaimed, full-time, permanent faculty) (PDF)

Green light for new retirement homes in Romsey
10:50am Sunday 6th July 2014 in News
WORK will start this autumn on building 52 luxury apartments for the elderly in Romsey after plans were approved by Test Valley Borough Council's planning committee.
Renaissance Retirement's 52-home scheme at the local authority's former Romsey offices in Duttons Road will be known as Fleur de Lis Romsey.
Hampshire-based Renaissance revised its earlier controversial plans that were rejected last month over fears that the development was too big.
Renaissance has since reduced the size of the development, which originally included 54 flats.
Residents in Station Road, who feared that their homes would be overlooked, again protested but this time the plans were given unanimous approval.

Eli Manning threw three interceptions in the loss, as the Giants (7-7) fell for the fifth time in six games. They play at the Jets on Saturday before taking on Dallas at home on New Year's day. A home finale shouldn't provide much solace, however, as New York has lost its last three games at MetLife Stadium.
The Giants' lone win in their last six games came against the Cowboys last Sunday. Manning threw for 400 yards in the 37-34 victory, but his three picks against Washington highlighted a litany of errors and missed opportunities for the home team.
In the teams' last meeting during Week 1, Manning failed to throw a touchdown pass, which has only happened once more this season, but he is ranked sixth in the NFL with 25 touchdown passes entering Sunday's game.
In his last three games, Manning has 1,153 yards passing and seven touchdowns and three interceptions.
