Manchester police station to be named for Michael Briggs
MANCHESTER - The Board of Mayor and Aldermen voted on Tuesday to name city's new police station in honor of slain officer Michael Briggs.
The decision was not an easy one for several aldermen, however, because it means parting ways with the name of the current station, the Ralph Miller Public Safety Center.
That station, built in 1978, was named in honor of Officer Ralph Miller, who was killed in 1976.
Briggs was killed in 2006. Both officers were shot to death while on duty.
Alderman Ron Ludwig was one of several aldermen who recalled personal memories of Miller.
"I was a friend of Ralph Miller. I was in the Boy Scouts with him," he said. "It's just difficult, but I agree, other people need be recognized."
Police Chief David Mara proposed renaming the new police headquarters, set to open in early January in the new municipal complex, after Briggs.
He said that naming the center after Briggs doesn't mean that Miller will be forgotten. "When you walk into the lobby, all the officers killed in the line of duty are still going to honored there," Mara said.
He added that the Miller family is "still part our family," but that the original station has been named after Miller since 1976. "His kids got to see building named after him. The Briggs family is in that same situation. It's not time to stop honoring Ralph Miller. I just want see the city bestow that honor on Michael Briggs' family," he said.
Alderman Joe Kelly Levasseur proposed a hyphenated name for the new building: The Miller-Briggs police station.
"I understand that the people on the force now are of the Briggs generation, but there are many people on this board who are of the Miller generation," he said
The board ultimately voted to support Mara's proposal to name the new building after Briggs. The family is expected to attend the opening of the station next month.

Brad Ausmus by all accounts is a very smart guy and a former catcher. If he had any experience whatsoever, I'd say him. Alas, he doesn't. In Theo's speech he again listed that as a requirement. Can't think of anyone besides the usual suspects at the moment. I hear Scoscia is willing to listen.

So if the Angels were to fire Scioscia, they would have to eat the remainder of that contract.

For example, if the Cubs signed Scioscia for 5/$25m the Angels would then be on the hook for only $1m/yr. The Angels know it's a pretty good bet that Scioscia would manage again even if they whack him, so I don't think that they'd expect to eat that entire $25m or even a large hunk of it.

But I'm going to agree with him that Scioscia doesn't seem like the best fit.I don't see Ausmus as a viable candidate for manager but he did work with Hoyer in SD so he could be someone they bring in for another role.I have to wonder if Cashman meeting with Girardi and his people isn't a bit for show and an opportunity for everyone to save face and part ways, along with giving Girardi permission to speak with other teams. It might be legit but I have to wonder.

Evaluating a Security Purchase Before You Write the Check
Issues to consider when upgrading video or access control systems
From Coax to IP
For the next example, let's assume that we are changing CCTV technology from a hard-wired, coax camera system to an IP-based system. The same issues associated with cameras/lenses and any special issues still apply.
Some of the other issues to evaluate include:
1. Who can view which cameras?
2. Who provides the administration support, for the CCTV server, that is needed to define cameras, passwords and provide viewers access?
3. Will video be streaming or control by motion?
4. What is the impact on the IP network?
5. Does a private network need to be established for video?
6. Who manages and maintains the IP network?
7. How long is an acceptable down time for network and/or server maintenance?
IP camera systems are often considered to be part of the infrastructure and managed by the IT department. The concerns of the Security department need to be the speed of support, maintenance and availability of needed bandwidth. IT typically does not consider the security camera system to be mission-critical. This means that business-related repairs, and controlling viruses and worms are mission-critical. The IP camera system can and will be turned off if a virus appears to be coming from or retransmitted by the camera system. It can suffer repair delays if minor mission-critical issues arise.
There is also an issue of routine maintenance on the IP system that can appear when the IT department takes IT system servers, etc., down for maintenance. IT will also be concerned about the camera server hardware configuration; it's operating system/capability/compatibility and being the system administrator of the CCTV server. All of these issues must be considered and resolved prior to writing the check.
Changing an Access Control System
In the next example, let's consider changing the existing access control system to a different badge system technology. No matter which technology is chosen, it will require different badge readers. None of the card technologies are interchangeable with readers that use a different technology. Magnetic stripe is different from Weigand, which is different from proximity, which is different from smart card. Although proximity and smart card can both be RF-based, the frequencies are different; therefore, single technology readers are not necessarily interchangeable.
Multi-Technology Cards and Readers: Cards that are used for badges can be purchased with more than one technology and the badge readers can contain more than one technology to minimize costs. For example, if you already have a badge reader that is proximity and smart card, you can migrate from proximity to smart card with minimal effort, outside of the issuance of new cards.
These readers are fairly new, and to have them already in place would indicate an evaluation that was made some time ago, before the "check" was written; or the choice to use the dual-technology reader was simply luck. For this example, we will assume that the badge readers that exist are of a single technology. We could, however, use a dual-technology card for our badge and make the migration path to a new technology badge reader easier.
Reader Protocol: Another evaluation issue applies to the protocol used by the badge access control system. In some access control systems, the actual protocol for the readers can be defined in software. The card used for a badge contains a series of binary bits that can be clumped into different groupings that form a protocol. The protocol from one manufacturer to the next will be different. This means that the same badge will read differently from one reader manufacturer to the next.
In fact, there can be additional problems from one card/reader manufacturer to the next, even though they use the same technology. For example, a given manufacturer of smart cards and readers cannot properly read smart card employee credential numbers from a different manufacturer.
A smart card will provide a unique number from different manufacturers, but not the actual employee data stored on the card. All manufacturers can read a smart card's serial number, but not the actual data on the card. This means that part of the evaluation process requires the selection of a card and compatible reader from a specific manufacturer. (The badge access control system from the reader back to the computer can be and typically is the vendor that the Security manager purchases the access control system through).
Again these issues must be understood, thoroughly worked through and resolved prior to writing the check.
Card Stock: Another evaluation consideration for a new card technology for employee badges includes the actual card stock used to make the badge. If the card stock is physically different from the existing card stock, as far as printing a security card/badge, then there can be additional cost to replace expensive badge printers that will work with the new card stock. Training on the new printer for the personnel making the badges can also be an expense that is overlooked.
The new desired technology often has several cards stock options to choose from to minimize the problem. These options can affect the existing printers and the cost of one card stock over another with the same technology can be very substantial in large companies. Sometimes a printable laminate overlay is used in the security printer to prevent purchasing new printers. The adhesive on the laminate allows the overlay to be applied to the new technology card without changing printers. This too, will affect the size of the check that is written.
Teaching Employees to Use the System: An area of consideration before writing the check applies to the card technology change and the employee's use of the new system. It can seem obvious to security personnel how to use the new technology and the card technology change should not be a problem, but it can be. For example, when changing from a swipe type card, where contact with the reader is required, to an RF technology card, there can be problems. If the employees are using a swipe card (magnetic stripe or Weigand), training is needed when going to a proximity card. A proximity card is often a "touch and go" card. If there is a read range problem, there will be confusion as to what part of the card needs to touch or be in close proximity to the reader. The proper way of presenting the card to the reader can be a problem that causes employee frustration. The training does not have to be extensive. It could, for example, be addressed in the company newsletter.
Before changing out readers, part of the evaluation process should include the addition of a couple of readers for the Security department to use for some period of time before installing them in areas where the employees have to use the new readers to perform their job function.
Production and Distribution: A final area of consideration for changing a badge technology is the actual badge making and distribution process. There needs to be a new card distribution process that is part of the project plan. Employees may need to carry multiple cards to accommodate the different card reader technologies that exist during the migration process to a new technology; however, the dual-technology card used for making the badge as discussed earlier could minimize some of the potential problems of making a new single-technology badge during the reader conversion part of the project.
Nothing would be worse than changing out all the readers over a weekend and expecting the employees to use the new technology cold turkey on Monday morning. As Murphy's Law would have it, every possible problem that could happen, would happen. The problems include the new technology cards not working, improperly defined employee credential numbers in the protocol and incorrect badge assignments in the database, card readers that were not functioning or poor read ranges and system configuration issues, just to mention a few.
The way the cards are manufactured and distributed can eliminate many of the potential problems.
We have looked at two subsystems of most electronic security systems applications and only a couple of types of projects. There are many additional projects and equipment purchases that are part of the Security department's responsibility that you will need to evaluate before writing a check. An example of possible electronic system functions that can be part of the evaluation would include; alarm systems, fire systems, intercom systems and energy management systems.
The more functions that are part of the electronic security system, the more complex the total system solution and the larger the system will be. It is critical that every evaluation step be taken to ensure the best possible results before the check is written.

Nakayama: Please watch the PV that we took with the fans!
Chinen: Haina! (=Exactly!)
Yamada: Chinen, how about you talk properly now.
Chinen: Haina. You know, the day we were shooting the PV? It was raining and made it all hard cuz it was supposed to be sunny.
Yamada: When I woke up it was raining heaps so I thought it was gonna be postponed, but it was on regardless of weather and I had to run out of the house. (笑)
Nakayama: The set that was supposed to be used had to be re-setted… I feel sorry for the staff.
Chinen: But because of that, the distance between us and the fans became closer.
Yamada: Yep, all thanks to the rain. We managed to take the goldfish catching and shooting scene successfully as well.
Chinen: I love shooting!
Nakayama: Chinen-kun was really good at shooting. And it was so much fun cuz it felt like we actually went to a festival the three of us.
Yamada: If NYC went to the summer festival together, it's gonna be loud~
Nakayama: Then, which shop will we go to first?
Chinen: Well, first, shoot Yuma with the shooting guns.
Yamada: Oh, like, "Hey~ Stop it~<3"?
Nakayama: With Chinen-kun targeting me, I can't react that cutely!
Chinen: At the goldfish catching, Yuma will explain every single goldfish that's swimming there.
Nakayama: Ahaha that's so gonna happen! Like, "this goldfish over here, you see is~~"
Chinen: And, when he sees the squid being cooked, he'll cry.
Nakayama: Yeah, like,"Hey~ Squid~Why are you here in such state, being killed and cooked"… who the hell are you talking about! (笑)
Chinen: Waaa, you went along☆
Yamada: I want apricot candy~ even if its just prunes when they say apricots~
Nakayama: Wait, don't you mean apple?
Chinen: Here it comes, the summer festival kansai vs kanto!
Yamada: I'm not gonna vs him, ok? I like tako yaki too.
Nakayama: Takoyaki! The other day, I bought a takoyaki machine! Come over to my house! Let's hold a takoyaki party!
Yamada: Eh~ I don't wanna go over to Yuma's house~
Nakayama: You're such a tsundere. Perfectly illustrated!
Yamada: I'll go if you let us hold pie-throwing.
Nakayama: You said watermelon cracking the other day…?
Yamada: Well events are important for parties!
Chinen: Let him do it for celebration~!
Nakayama: No way! Anyway what the heck of a celebration is that!
Chinen: Of course it's Yuma's party for moving to Tokyo!
Yuma: Eh…
Yamada: If you don't even get that, I guess you sold your heart to Tokyo…
Nakayama: Do you realize that that isn't convincing at all when you yourself lives in Tokyo?
Yamada: Dang. Well we'll celebrate for you in a casual way. What do you want to eat?
Nakayama: Fugu! You know, the place you mentioned before!
Chinen: Eh-! Then Yuma, you fish the fugu!
Yamada: Exactly. You fish it, Chinen cuts it and takes care of it, while I plate it.
Nakayama: …No matter how much Chinen-kun is good at doing that sorta stuff, you need a license to cook fugu!
Chinen: Eh-? I feel like I can do it-!
Nakayama: Even if you feel like it, there are things you can, and you can't do, chinen-kun. Then let's just quit fugu. Just go with normal fishing. At a beach or something.
Yamada: That sounds cool. Then barbecue.
Chinen: I wanna do that-! Let's go to Hawaii!
Nakayama: Why do we have to go that far… it's ok at my home, isn't it?
Yamada: No-way-!
Nakayama: Why do you refuse to go that much?
Yamada: Cuz if we go, we can't use this "let's go, let's not go" talk anymore~
Nakayama: You do know that NYC isn't a group of comedians, don't you?
Chinen: We're going for the comedy championships!!

Guestbook comments from the owner
The location is perfect. You have a beautiful home and even though it rained and snowed all weekend and we didn't even step foot on your beautiful deck we couldn't have been happier with the rental. I am already thinking of ways to make a trip happen next year. I fully understand all of the five stars ratings!! Thank you!!
Please feel free to post this. I'm not as organized as usual on maternity leave so it might take me a while to post myself. The only thing that I could note is that some new pots and pans might be nice. That is the only thing I could possible critique. Everything was fantastic!!

Gary Johnson: Pardon Non-Violent Marijuana Offenses
GOP presidential candidate Gary Johnson at the 2011 International Drug Policy Reform Conference
Newsom and Johnson at Drug Conference: Is Legalization The Answer To The War On Drugs? | The Huffington Post
It is rare for a politician to openly advocate the legalization of drugs as the solution to the country's drug problem. But that's just what California Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom and former New Mexico Gov. Gary Johnson did this week at the four-day International Drug Policy Reform Conference in downtown Los Angeles.
[…] On Thursday, Johnson referred to a Gallup poll saying, "Fifty percent of Americans support legalizing marijuana.. But zero percent of the universe of politicians support this." His position in stark contrast to other Republican candidates, Johnson said, "They [Republicans] all talk about border violence and adding guns to the equation instead of looking at the root of the problem, which is prohibition."
According to Intersections South LA, Lt. Gov. Newsom said in his remarks that California is "a state of dreamers, of doers, of entrepreneurs, of innovators" and will "certainly be on the front lines of reconciling the abject failure that has been 40 years, this failed war on drugs." He argued that the failure of national drug policy is reflected in the tripling of prison populations over the past two decades and the strain that's caused on government's budget.
Newsom revealed to the crowd that many politicians believe in legalization but are afraid to voice that position, Intersections South LA reports. "My gosh, if I could just tape-record the private conversations, it would just break your heart," Newsom said. "We know better, we're just not doing better." +
[Republican presidential candidate Gary] Johnson made a bold prediction: that Colorado will be the first state to tax and regulate marijuana. "The notion of legalizing marijuana, I think it's gonna happen and we're gonna wake up tomorrow and be surprised," he stated. "'It's just gonna be a domino that falls. I think it's gonna be Colorado voting to legalize it in 2012. Do that and this country takes a giant step - just gigantic steps - toward a rational drug policy, which looks at drugs first as a health issue rather than a criminal justice issue. This right now is very doable."

Gary Johnson on Marijuana Legalization: Politicians Won't 'Speak The Truth' On The Issue | The Huffington Post
Republican presidential candidate Gary Johnson is baffled that more politicians don't support legalizing marijuana, after a new Gallup poll shows that an all-time high of 50 percent of Americans favor legalization.
"Where is the political leadership that should be reflecting that common sense belief?" said the former New Mexico governor in a statement on Tuesday.
"This may be the only issue on the national scene where half the American people support something, but zero percent, statistically speaking, of elected officials and politicians will publicly agree with them," he added. "Yet, for the most part, there are no politicians who will speak that truth, much less act upon it. With 50% of Americans open to the idea of legalization, why won't the ruling class at least let us have the conversation?" +
I've posted quite a bit about Johnson. He's a pretty interesting guy.
Gary Johnson's response to the fed crackdown on medical cannabis: "I would think DOJ and the Administration have better things to do"
"We have a drug war along the border that has taken tens of thousands of lives, and the federal government is spending its time and resources declaring war on small businesses whose only 'crime' is trying to dispense medical relief in a regulated, taxed, and legal manner. If there is a conflict between state law and federal law, maybe it's time for the feds to just admit that their law is just wrong, and let the states decide for themselves how they want to handle the issue of medical marijuana." +
Is This the Sanest Man Running for President? | GQ
He was never supposed to be the fringe candidate, and his campaign is no lark. Before he officially declared, he visited thirty-eight states—on his own nickel—to get a sense of whether he'd be a viable candidate. He was the first GOP candidate to announce, in early April, and for about twenty seconds seemed like a contender. The wildly popular (still) two-term Republican governor from a state that is two-to-one Democrat. A guy who's confident that he knows how to manage the purse strings and balance a budget because he did it—eight years in a row—in New Mexico. His fiscal conservatism is unmatched by anyone in the race. And his socially liberal cred—the only pro-gay and pro-choice Republican candidate—is unmatched even by some Democrats. (Of course, while this could be an asset in the general election, it's a bitch of a liability in the GOP primary.)
[…] Gary Johnson believes in his heart that Americans want the truth. But do they? Legalizing marijuana to significantly reduce the prison population and save the billions spent every year going after pot smokers in the "war on drugs" (a view that more and more Americans share, just not those who vote in Republican primaries) is hardly his main issue; eliminating the deficit is, and was even before the debt crisis this summer. But he's been marginalized as the pot guy. "I believe at some point the media will move beyond this," he says, "but I'm not laying on the couch theorizing about it." Advisers have suggested he cut his speeches before that kicker—legalize pot—while he still has audiences vigorously nodding over his ideas to get rid of the deficit and the IRS. But that would be, well, phony. "I don't want them to go home and say, 'I saw this guy Gary Johnson, and he was really interesting.' 'Oh, the pot guy?' 'He didn't mention that.' " +

Ron Paul Finishes Second In GOP Iowa Straw Poll | The 420 Times
Aug 13, 2011—Texas Congressman Ron Paul (R) has placed second in The Republican Party's Iowa Straw Poll, held today in Ames, Iowa. Dr. Paul is one of only two candidates in this year's field who favors marijuana legalization – former New Mexico Gary Johnson being the other.
Ron Paul finished less than 200 votes behind the poll's winner, Minnesota Congresswoman Michele Bachmann. While the straw poll is non-binding, it is usually an indication of where candidates stand early on in a party's nomination process. +

I'm more than likely going to get anonymous hate for posting this picture, but before you send please bare in mind the reasons why I adore this photograph.
As many of you know I am disabled, I have a muscle wasting illness called SMA, Spinal Muscular Atrophy. Whenever I look at myself I am presented with my wheelchair; this photograph shows nothing but me. I love my makeup, I love to make myself look sexy, like any female or male.
I love to make myself presentable for my girlfriend and others around me because that is all I have to describe who I am.
My wheelchair doesn't define me and I am more than certain the people who will see this will say WHAT? SHE'S IN A WHEELCHAIR.. And that is great to hear! I'm not asking for reblogs, all i'm asking for is respect.
You're beautiful.❤ Well done you!👍

Remember Me?
Peavey is selling sex right here!
Oh my God, this thing is a complete MONSTER!! That was my initial thought when I plugged this girl straight into my tube stack for the first time. Peavey and EVH were right on the mark when they designed this guitar, that's for damn sure. The Standards (not the Specials, they are a bit different and another review) were built with extremely resonant basswood bodies that were specifically picked for their tonal qualities. Strumming it acoustically sans amplifier produces an unusually loud volume and tone directly due to the choice tone wood AND the extremely tight neck to body joint which allows unrestricted NATURAL resonance that is almost unbelieveable. The licensed Floyd Rose tremolo is very beefy, solid and stable which contributes to the incredible sustain. Lastly is the pickups, which is ironically the FIRST thing that players replace because typically they just don't match the tone wood at all and just sound like crap. This is where EVH also made sure that the custom wound pickups matched the guitar. They sure do. Perfectly. They are direct mounted to the body to take advantage of the natural tone and sustain of the body and neck. The tone that this guitar produces is nothing short of orgasmic. The bridge growls and screams with shimmering harmonics without ever getting muddy or the lows washing out the highs. The balance between the frequencies is just perfect. The neck pickup is so warm and fat that it can produce that clean bluesy/jazzy tone that you have been searching for but haven't yet achieved. The pickups are matched so perfectly, you would be a complete tone-def moron to replace them...nothing would sound better.
Action, Fit, & Finish
These guitars set up like a high priced boutique guitar at a fraction of the price. The action can be set so low that it plays itself. The dual graphite rods in the neck (it is seperate from the truss rod) are solely there to insure the utmost stability in the neck. The necks are arrow straight and will not twist, and that will give you the best platform for the ultimate set up with minimal action hight and minimal fret buzz and no dead spots. The birdseye figuring on the fretboard is nothing short of beauiful. The neck profile is a direct computer scan of EVH's Frankenstein Kramer neck and has that "broken in" feel right out of the case. It is extremely comfortable and you won't experience any wrist or hand fatigue from extended playing. The body paint itself is a nice high shine and durable finish that looks very classy and the black binding tops off the look. The ivory tuning machines is a nice small detail that looks great and matches perfectly. I was also very impressed on how well this guitar was put together. The first time I tried to remove the neck I was actually thinking that I was going to have to use a rubber mallet to get the neck out of the pocket! The tolerances are so precise and there is NO slop, this is something that other guitars fail in. You may not think it's such a big deal, but when you hear the resonance for the first time and realize that it has a lot to do with the construction you'll wonder why other major manufacturers don't bother to take the time to "get it right" instead of mass producing an "average" product but still pay a premium for. Last but not least, for some reason this guitar feels like playing a short scale but in reality she's a 25.5" scale all the way.
Reliability & Durability
I've never had any issue with this guitar in the time that I have owned it. The neck is the most stable of ANYTHING that I have owned before. The only thing that may bother some is that basswood is typically soft and the back of the guitar is fairly easy to get dented because the wood is so soft.
Customer Support
I haven't had to make the call, but since this line has been discontinued I don't know if Peavey will be able to do anything.
Liked about it
What it's all about...the monster tone this magic guitar oozes out. It's an extremely comfortable guitar to play and I love the figuring in the neck and fretboard. To me it's a real piece of functional art. I hate to be cliche because it's SO overused, but I can say with great confidence that a Wolfgang Standard would be one of, if not THE most prized guitar in a collection based on tone and playability. Some don't care for the shape, but it's all about tone and feel.
Didn't like
What I don't like is that Peavey doesn't make this guitar anymore!!! The HP line is an evolution of this guitar, but it isn't the same.

Chicago Cubs Fans with "Sweet" and "Dude" Tattoos…
By Matt Sebek in Cardinals with 2 comments Tags: Chicago Cubs, Tattoo
Have you ever attended a baseball game with someone that you would consider a close friend? Shared a beer with said compadre and soaked in the aura of America's pastime? Of course. Nothing better.
Did you also get completely obliterated the night before, pay for some body ink that references "Dude, Where's My Car?" and strip off your shirt for the world to see?
No? Me either. But these Cubs fans at Wrigley Field did.

Things change so fast that a modern person needs a smart phone to keep score. Relying on old paradigms is silly, but there must be somebody out there who still uses a dial-up phone. Perhaps the MOST remarkable game changer is social media. Communication is now instantaneous, contemporaneous and spontaneous. A-N-E-O-U-S, sounds like a Greek word meaning butt hole, please excuse the digression.
Among the social media venues, the most compelling in terms of information exchange is Twitter. Perhaps the limitation to 140 characters forces concise, on point thinking. Not much fluff, mostly meat might be the best way to capture the essence of a Tweet. In a way tweeting is like texting, short and on the money. Not chatty, not intimate and not sweaty are all characteristics of new communication. Well, sexting is sweaty, but that's another matter...
Some get their news from Twitter. What? Some folks get their news from Twitter. Anathema! But hold on, check out Twitter and lo and behold virtually all established news sources (yes the NYT too) are tweet freaks. Be reminded that the Twit news is instantaneous. For examples, just look over the Twitter responses during the recent USA-Japan Womens World Cup soccer game. Blow by blow... Final score, bam, to the second it happened. Wanna wait for the six o'clock news or the daily rag on the stoop in the morning?
In truth, traditional newspapers are dead in the water. No, not the reporting, not the investigation, not the conscience. Indeed not. Society needs the essence of what a newspaper does, just not the paper itself. Much like a bricks and mortar store is effete in a virtual world so is newsprint. Ice boxes, gas lights, carburetors and bias ply tires have all suffered similar demises. BUT their replacements; smart refrigerators, electric lights, fuel injection and green radial tires are all markedly BETTER!
But there's more. People can speak out and be heard like no time in history. Tweeting how you feel sure beats an Op-Ed entry... Cyberspace has huge ears and a memory too. Twit happy fingers need to be careful. But humans like to talk, er tweet, to express themselves and to be heard. There is sooo much free information available (some of it whack, though) that DIY has taken on a new meaning.
Well, that's nice. But the essence of this blog is Tyler Baltierra. First appearing on Sixteen and Pregnant, Tyler made an impact as a sensitive, attractive and sensible young man. Here's a synopsis of that show, #106, which aired on MTV, July 16, 2009.
Catelynn Lowell is a junior in high school, living in Algonac, Michigan. She and her boyfriend of three years, Tyler Baltierra, discover she is pregnant. Neither of them feel that their living conditions are suitable for a new child, so they decide to look into adoption, going against their parents' wishes. They settle on a couple, Brandon and Teresa, and bond with them quickly. In May 2009, Lowell gives birth to a baby girl, who is named Carolyn Elizabeth (Carly for short) by her adoptive parents. Although not initially wanting to meet the baby, Baltierra and Lowell decide that they would like to see Carly before her adoptive parents do. After meeting their daughter, Brandon and Teresa promise to keep in touch with Baltierra and Lowell throughout the years of Carly's life. When it is time to sign the adoption papers, Lowell's mother refuses, forcing the official handover to take place off hospital grounds. Baltierra and Lowell say that the adoption was the hardest thing they had ever had to do, but the result has brought them closer together, and they know they made the right decision for Carly. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/16_and_Pregnant
Teen Mom is a spin off of Sixteen. Four of the original "stars" of Sixteen are followed as they get older and they deal with the realities of their decisions. Of the four (Catelynn Lowell, Maci Bookout, Farah Abraham and Amber Portwood) three have kept their babies. Catelynn and Tyler opted for adoption. Here's a description of Catelynn's and Tyler's ongoing saga... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teen_Mom
Catelynn is the birth-mother of Carolynn "Carly" Elizabeth. Described as a smart and funny high school senior, she struggles to adjust back to her normal life after her emotional decision to place Carly for adoption. The adoptive parents are Brandon and Theresa.[4] Catelynn moves back home with her parents, but learns that her stepfather, who is also the father of her boyfriend Tyler, is not over her decision to place her daughter for adoption. During the season, Catelynn comes to terms with being a birth mother, moves in with Tyler and his mother when her mother and her stepfather move into an apartment in another city, and gets engaged to Tyler. She and Tyler both get tattoos in honor of their daughter.
101. Catelynn Lowell moves back homeNow during their adventures, Catelynn and Tyler endear themselves to the audience. There is no magic or trickery. Their inherent goodness wins the day. Nice people don't always finish last. Tyler, himself, though has become a sweetie. So successful is he, that two recent Tweets (from July 20, 2011) force the conclusion that Mr. Baltierra may have a financial future just being himself.
102. Catelynn misses her dad, who passed away this recent year.
103. Catelynn's family gets in a disagreement over her choice of adoption.
104. Catelynn's mother moves away, leaving her with a difficult decision.

107. Catelynn and her boyfriend Tyler start planning for their future.
108. Catelynn and Tyler receive news about Carly, and Tyler proposes to Catelynn.
201. Catelynn is upset to find out she has to move out of boyfriend Tyler's house and back in with her unpredictable family, an hour away from their high school.
202. Catelynn gets caught in a lie about an ex in Florida with whom she has kept contact with, which causes Tyler to question their engagement.
203. Tyler struggles with guilt about the adoption when he tries to go out and have fun like a normal teenager,
204. Catelynn and Tyler's relationship is on the rocks, so they consult couples therapy.
205. Tyler decides not to investigate Catelynn's phone records, because he wants to start trusting her again
206. Tyler's dad Butch has to go back to rehab, and Catelynn and her mom get into a fight.
207. Catelynn and Tyler get a nice surprise at prom when they win king and queen.
208. Catelynn and Tyler celebrate their daughter's first birthday.
209. Catelynn and Tyler learn Butch has ended up back in jail.
210. Catelynn and Tyler find out they will not graduate from High School on time,

Do you believe in magic in a young girl's heart
tyler from teen mom is so sage.
haileyyd Hailey
I want a boyfriend like tyler from 16 and pregnant. he's sooo sweet
It takes some doing to capture a young girl's heart. Magic, maybe. Poetry, enchantment... From the Lovin' Spoonful, Do You Believe in Magic... listen...
How the music can free her, whenever it starts
And it's magic, if the music is groovy
It makes you feel happy like an old-time movie
I'll tell you about the magic, and it'll free your soul
But it's like trying to tell a stranger 'bout rock and roll
So based on these two Tweets (admittedly a small sample size, but how wet does a person need to get before realizing it's raining), Tyler Baltierra is a Twit Pick for success. All he needs is to be properly marketed and the sky is the limit for him. He has a future...
- modeling
- advising
- love columnist
- clothing line
- acting (soaps)
- hat designer
- being himself
- more
- can he sing?
Tweedos know all. Twitter has its finger on the pulse beat of the world. Social media RULES. Indeed!

A firearms exam completed by Oscar Pistorius suggests the star knew better than to shoot blindly at a suspected intruder, the court heard today. Firearm licence facilitator, Sean Patrick Rens read out the test which included scenario-based questions involving correct firearm protocol if under attack.
A witness has testified in the trial of Oscar Pistorius that the Olympian asked a friend to take the blame for firing a shot in an upmarket restaurant. Boxer, Kevin Lerena, appeared at Pistorius trial as a prosecution witness and outlined the events of the shooting, which took place at Tasha's restaurant, in Melrose Arch, Johannesburg, on 13 January 2013.
When Steenkamp was killed in February 2013, media outlets like the Sun and the Daily Mail chose to run articles featuring Steenkamp in bikinis; as if Steenkamp only mattered because she was beautiful and, by default, white. I thought this, only with live coverage of the trial, would be debased as humanity could get. I was wrong.
The sharpest tragedy in the Pistorius scandal is the death of a young, intelligent woman - Reeva Steenkamp. Yet, the whole episode also threatens to strike a dagger into last year's Olympic legacy. For all that Pistorius did to prove the irrelevance of disability; he is now the blade runner that malfunctioned.

Dinner date: The Grill by Sean Connelly
The Grill by Sean Connelly has had some very positive press lately, and as well as a sold-out event showcasing the best of Federal St, their Auckland Restaurant Month set menu looked to be one of the best value. 3 courses and a glass of wine for $45 was on offer and it had been a long while since I'd had a bona fide dinner date. Dinner dates usually make for quite good blogging, so with the help of Jesse Mulligan and twitter, I found myself on a date at The Grill with Brendon.
Brendon is a comedian, and according to both my flatmate and whoever judged the NZ Comedy Festival Best Newcomer Award earlier this year, a very funny one. He does other things apart from comedy, and is clearly awesome because he said yes in the first place. The pre-date email banter was promising, as was The Grill's menu.
As well as top honours in the latest Cuisine magazine, I had sampled Connelly's treacle tart at the Auckland Restaurant Month media launch (which, after 10 courses and matched wines that night, was stunning). I had high hopes, but I was equal parts really excited and really nervous. And what do I do when I'm nervous? I talk too much. But more about that later.
We had aimed for Bellota for a drink first - one of the top 5 recipients of the coveted 'best first drink on a first date' in Metro back in 2010. But it was closed, so a much less celebrated bar would have to do. After downing my obligatory first date gin, we crossed over Federal St to The Grill.
An early observation was that Sean Connelly of The Grill by Sean Connelly was not at The Grill. However, we were seated in large lush brown leather seats and began with a wine while investigating the menu.
To start there was a choice of a pumpkin salad or a 'suckling pig terrine'. Upon choosing the pumpkin, Brendon told me he couldn't do terrine because it reminded him of cat food. 'Chef' to be exact. I thanked him for drawing that to my attention, laughed, and ordered it anyway.
This wasn't a chunky pate like terrine I'd had before; it was softer shreds of pork encased in a crumbed patty. It was great with the celeriac slaw, but both entrees were absolutely doused in a mountain of either parmesan or pecorino cheese. They were great flavour combinations clearly, but someone was a little over-zealous with the microplane.
Although I'd asked him out under the guise of a blog post, panic set in slightly when he started telling me about his successful Comedy Festival hour long show, and the fact it had comprised of years of material, now all used up. It dawned on me that I was potentially comedy fodder for his part-time creative side-career, as he was to mine. I was nervous; first dates, and especially blind dates, really are just a judgey-sussing-each-other-out type situation. I tried to keep the rants to a minimum, and there ended up being lots of good conversation, covering all the usual suspects (music, films, Chinese character tattoos, travel, and food).
His face entirely lit up when the waitress accidentally brought desserts before the mains, and then showed obvious disappointment as she swiftly turned around realising her mistake. I had a self-confessed sweet tooth on my hands, which lead to a in-depth discussion of cakes and muffins and cupcakes and brownies. 'What kind?' I asked him, to which he replied 'all chocolate' extremely seriously. (I may or may not have been internalising 'let me bake for you!' at this point, but I digress).
Anyway, the steaks. They were great. But that's all they were - a giant hunk of meat, on the bone, beautifully cooked and with a ramekin of horseradish on the side. And how good really can a big beautiful steak be? I mean, great. But we only ordered salad on the side, so dinner was simply meat and lettuce. Crisp cos (pronunciation was pondered: Cos? Coz?) and radish was our lone side. The duck fat potatoes probably would have been a good idea.
A bathroom breather break brought to my attention that this expensive, swanky, steak house - one of NZ's best restaurants - requires you to leave the restaurant, make a long, brightly lit, tortured walk across a hotel lobby, and into a corner of the building, to use the bathroom. Granted, there's some of my favourite contemporary NZ art gracing the walls on the journey. But in my humble opinion, you shouldn't have to cross a large vacuous foyer to get to an impersonal bathroom at one of the country's best restaurants. They do a lot of things really well though; the service was flawless, for example.
Sometimes on dates, chat about dating will come up, and my internal monologue started screaming "stop talking!" as I accidentally found myself halfway through a dating disaster story involving me pouring a glass of red wine down myself and the dinner table last year. He laughed politely though, and on the whole seemed to be enjoying himself. We found a mutual love of an obscure Scottish band, and there were similarities to our suburban childhoods. He told me about his love of film and how he quit his job and moved to Paris after watching Revolutionary Road a few years ago. We were each partial to a good burger, and the intricacies of scrambled eggs and mousetraps were dissected as we literally sawed through our enormous short rib steaks. The food took a backseat, and I could have kept yarning for hours.
And then came dessert. Even as a self-confessed optimist, Mr Positive showed disappointment. The raved-about treacle tart to him tasted like overcooked sugar, and my creme caramel, which I kindly donated to the sweet tooth disappointment cause, was in fact not set properly. The topping was a pool of liquid rather than a set caramel, so all in all just ok. Not bad, just not up to expectations. The eternal optimist who sees the positive in everything was even able to admit that the meal really did peak at the entree.
The Grill is, I'm sure, a very very good restaurant. A good friend rates their medley of meat dish as one of the best meals he's had. They just didn't quite take the opportunity to use a cheap set menu to showcase their best work and entice people back for the full shebang, and maybe they simply don't need to.
It was a fun night though; good food, great banter, lots of laughs and wine which made it successfully from glass to mouth every time. On that basis alone, I'm calling it a success.

Q & A Session – Pay Retention and Disability
December 7th, 2012 | Uncategorized
Ask the Lawyer received the following question (paraphrased for easier reading and clarity) from a reader on a legal matter that might be of interest to the entire audience.
I have worked for a federal agency for about 14 years and am currently a GS-7. My performance has declined due to medical issues. I was just diagnosed with a disability which has become worse due to physical and emotional stressors.
Management wants me to sign a form saying that I request a move for personal reasons to the mail room at a GS-4-10. If I don't sign it, they will place me at a GS-4-1, which is about half my current pay.
Can they move me to a lower pay since I now have a disability? If they did, could I retain pay? Would this mean I would be eligible to apply for early disability retirement since I was not placed at the same rate and pay?
If you are demoted, you can apply for disability retirement. You may also be entitled to a reasonable accommodation because of your disability. You should use your agency's reasonable accommodation process. If the accommodation is denied, you can pursue an EEO complaint.

I'm no expert, but I know a little bit about the fed system. I don't think they have to pay you while giving someone else your work. If you aren't able to do the work with or without a reasonable accommodation, then they don't have to keep you in the position. The big thing is that if you could perform the major duties with a reasonable accommodation, they have to provide a reasonable accommodation. But you ask if they "can." Sure, I guess they can. They probably don't HAVE to though.

SEARCH Releases New National Focus Group Report on Post-Hurricane Katrina Criminal Record ChecksBack
SEARCH has published the report of a national focus group that examined criminal record background checks undertaken of displaced Gulf Coast evacuees, volunteers and others in wake of one of the nation's most devastating national disasters-Hurricane Katrina.
The focus group, convened by SEARCH and the Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS), U.S. Department of Justice, under BJS funding, looked at how these checks were conducted in the wake of the historic storm and to consider ways that ensure these checks can be accomplished more fairly and effectively in the future, should the need arise.
Following the hurricane, the National Crime Prevention and Privacy Compact Council and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) implemented procedures that enabled states and local law enforcement to attempt to address public safety issues by conducting background checks. The checks were conducted primarily to prevent the placement of potentially dangerous individuals in shelters. Also checked were volunteers and individuals who opened their homes to evacuees.
The checks proved controversial and were decried as unnecessarily intrusive for individuals who had already been traumatized by the hurricane. The controversy revealed the need for thoughtful and comprehensive policies governing the criminal history background process in such events.
"By examining the past in the hope that lessons learned can be applied to the future, the focus group met in October 2006 to discuss issues associated with these checks and other concerns," noted SEARCH Law and Policy Director Owen Greenspan. "This report catalogs the discussions, experiences and suggestions for policy refinements for instances of mass relocation following catastrophic events."
Report of the National Focus Group on Emergency Housing and Criminal Record Checks: The Hurricane Katrina Experience (3.5 mb) will be available soon on the National Criminal Justice Reference Service.
The focus group was comprised of 13 individuals from local, state and federal justice agencies in the Gulf Coast region, the Compact Council, FBI, and states that welcomed evacuees. It was chaired by Lt. Frank Higginbotham, Commander, Identification Unit, Alabama Bureau of Investigation, who serves on the SEARCH Membership Group. Other SEARCH Members who served on the focus group were:
- Mr. Mike Lesko, Deputy Administrator, Crime Records Service, Texas Department of Public Safety;
- Mr. Charles A. Pruitt, Director Arkansas Crime Information Center;
- Mr. David G. Sim, Assistant Director, Information Services, Kansas Bureau of Investigation; and
- Maj. Carlotta Stackhouse, Assistant Director, Criminal Justice Information Services, South Carolina Law Enforcement Division.
The report was written by Eric Johnson, a justice information services specialist with SEARCH under the direction of Mr. Greenspan.

Report: We Don't Know Enough About Nanotech Safety
Some brands of cleaning sprays, sunscreens and burger boxes include nano-size material in them.
CREDIT: Dreamstime
Nanotech is present in food additives, sunscreens, stain-resistant clothes and solar cells. In the future, we'll find nano-size particles—tiny materials that are 1/1,000th the diameter of a human hair or smaller—in the material that makes up batteries, cars, drugs and disease screenings. The National Academy of Science expects the market for nano products to "explode" over the next few years, generating $3 billion in sales by 2015, after the field already sold $1 billion worth of products in 2009.
Yet we don't know enough about how nano stuff may affect people's health or the environment, found a new report by the academy. In particular, there's little progress in understanding how eating foods with nanoparticles in them might affect human health.
As yet, there's no evidence that nanomaterial causes disease in people, said nanotech safety researcher Vincent Castranova in a Q&A with InnovationNewsDaily. But researchers suspect nanotech may cause some distinctive problems. "If you make particles very, very small, they have unique physical and chemical characteristics and the question is, 'Will you also have unique biological interaction?'" Castranova said. "And there's no reason to suspect you wouldn't." He was not involved in the National Academy report.
The report suggests a new national research group dedicated to studying nanotech's safety and environmental effects. The United States does have a National Nanotechnology Initiative, but its job is to promote nanotechnology as a way to improve the economy. Its interests could conflict with assessing nanotech's risks, the report said, so the United States needs a separate agency.
