Stop It! Grand Rapid's rise in violent crimes unites police and community leaders
Caroline MacGregor
January 11, 2013 | WGVU
During the conference, Grand Rapids Police Chief, Kevin Belk, called upon the community to join forces in an effort to end the city's violent crime that has left residents nervous.
Chief Belk was joined by Dr. Jermone Glenn of The Revolution Church and Rev Clifton Rhodes Jnr of the Messiah Missionary Baptist Church. Rev Rhodes and Pastor Glen put forward the idea of holding a series of meetings to encourage community dialogue toward finding viable solutions for bringing peace to the city. The first meeting is planned next Friday morning, Jan. 18 at Messiah Missionary Baptist Church.
During this morning's meeting, fathers and mothers were urged to be more involved in their child's life. Rev. Rhodes went so far as to say generations of kids are being lost because parents are failing to take a leadership role and talk with their kids.
Many inner city families have absent fathers leaving the discipline of teenage sons to mothers. One person in attendance said the need to act is now, blaming part of the problem on kids who don't feel cared for, in turn leading to vulnerability to gangs and a care-less attitude about what they do to others.
Last week on the city's southeast side, 19 year old Greg Woods Jr. opened his front door and was shot. He was rushed to a nearby hospital but died a short time later. His mother later admitted her son was part of a gang and was targeted. She believes the people who killed her son had slept over and even shared dinner in the family's home.
A day later in an unrelated incident another man was shot in the arm but survived. On December 17th, a man shot and killed two women before turning the gun on himself. The three had just emerged from a counseling center. In the past month the number of homicides has reached eight.
Police have identified two people of interest in the deaths of 81 year old David Bouwman and his 80 year old wife Vivian, a Kentwood couple found shot to death in their home on January 5th.

Method and system for human vision model guided medical image quality assessment
Image Number 2 for
United States Patent #8086007
A method and system for image quality assessment is disclosed. The image quality assessment method is a no-reference method for objectively assessing the quality of medical images. This method is guided by the human vision model in order to accurately reflect human perception. A region of interest (ROI) of medical image is divided into non-overlapping blocks of equal size. Each of the blocks is categorized as a smooth block, a texture block, or an edge block. A perceptual sharpness measure, which is weighted by local contrast, is calculated for each of the edge blocks. A perceptual noise level measure, which is weighted by background luminance, is calculated for each of the smooth blocks. A sharpness quality index is determined based on the perceptual sharpness measures of all of the edge blocks, and a noise level quality index is determined based on the perceptual noise level measures of all of the smooth blocks. An overall image quality index can be determined by using task specific machine learning of samples of annotated images. The image quality assessment method can be used in applications, such as video/image compression and storage in healthcare and homeland security, and band-width limited wireless communication.

Ontario bus group convenes in Buffalo
Send this to a friend

The Buffalo Niagara region is serving as the host site for the Ontario Motor Coach Association's annual conference and marketplace.
What makes the three-day long meeting unique is that for the first time in its history, the association is holding the conference in the United States and not in Ontario or elsewhere in Canada.
"Our membership is North American-based," said Doug Switzer, Ontario Motor Coach Association president and CEO. "It's not just Ontario only members. And, Buffalo is a destination in its own right."
Last year, the conference was in Windsor, Ont. It is moving to Toronto in 2013 and Ottawa in 2014.
While the conference officially began Monday, Switzer and other members of his association have been in Buffalo since Oct. 18 taking a series of private tours and meetings in the city, East Aurora and Niagara Falls. An opening session dinner was held Sunday night at First Niagara Center, hosted by Ted Black, Buffalo Sabres president.
Leah Mueller, Visit Buffalo Niagara director of tourism sales and conference chair, said more than 600 people are expected as they meet with representatives from destinations and attractions, hoping to book lucrative bus tours.
For Buffalo, the immediate economic impact of the conference is pegged at $883,304. However, the long term pay off is exposing the city and region to key personnel in the tour bus circle.
"We appreciate the lasting value that we will get from this," said Dottie Gallagher-Cohen, Visit Buffalo Niagara president and CEO.

Hello, i dont know if this has been answered before, but i couldnt
find anything. I have the following problem. In autocad, when u roll
with the middle button of the mouse, it zooms in and out. In zwcad
though, when i do the same thing (rolling with the middle button of the
mouse, up or down) a message appears that says that its already zoomed
all. I cant remember the exact message, hope you understood. Do u know
how i can change/fix this? thanks.

I think I have seen such kind of messages, because it really reaches the extent of zoom in/out.
If you are viewing a large drawing, when it can not be fully zoomed in or out, try to double click the middle button for "zoom extent", then you can use the rolling button to zoom again.

I think that, if you make a REGEN when that message appears, it will extent the percentage of ZOOm for a little high. This problem occurs on 2010, I think, right?

LOS LUNAS -- PNM crews restored power to more than 1,800 customers after a widespread outage early Thursday.
According to PNM, a vehicle crashed into a power pole near the area of Meadow Lake Road and El Cerro Loop. The damage was so extensive, crews had to replace the pole altogether.
At its peak, the power outage affected more than 2,000 residents in Valencia County. The outage lasted for about 10 hours and closed Ann Parish Elementary School on Thursday.

Foo Fighters announce huge show at Slane Castle in Ireland
Slane Castle is the latest stadium gig Dave Grohl and co have announced for their 2015 tour.
Skip to Content
Music that rocks
Dave Grohl has told XFM that they've finished writing a new Foo Fighters album.
Speaking to XFM's Sunta Templeton he explained that we should be hearing from them again in 2014.
"Well, I'll tell you, we have been in our studio writing and in the past few weeks we've written an album and we are going to make this album in a way that no-one's ever done before and we're pretty excited about it," he admitted.
"It's a little ways off - it's not ready to happen right now but I think next year is going to be a really big year for the Foo Fighters without question.
"It's going to be great, I can't wait."
So it looks like he won't be returning to the analogue method undertaken for last album.
Foo Fighters used an original sound desk from the now defunct Sound City Studios in LA for Wasting Light.
Dave went on to create a documentary about the studio as well as creating a supergroup with a rotating line up out of musicians who had previously used the desk - including Paul McCartney and Stevie Nicks - called the Sound City Players.
Slane Castle is the latest stadium gig Dave Grohl and co have announced for their 2015 tour.
Which artists have come out of the block, all guns blazing? XFM picks half a ton of excellent debuts.
Powered by Facebook
The singer-songwriter issues his third collection of b-sides, rarities, demos and covers.
This week the XFM iPod's "Recently Added" playlist consists of Ed Harcourt, Bombay Bicycle Club, Maximo Park, Dry The River and Port Isla.
Happy Thanksgiving, our American friends! It's the time of year when we GIVE THANKS to the US of A for producing some excellent music over the years. Take a look here.

Report: Travis Kvapil arrested for domestic abuse
Oct 9, 2013, 5:23 PM EST
NBC affiliate WCNC in North Carolina and USA Today have reported NASCAR Sprint Cup Series driver Travis Kvapil, driver of the No. 93 Burger King/Dr Pepper Toyota for BK Racing, has been arrested for allegedly assaulting his wife. The USA Today update confirmed Kvapil had been charged with assault and false imprisonment.
He was arrested Tuesday in Mooresville, N.C., booked Tuesday night in Iredell County and freed on bond Wednesday, according to the USA Today update.
Making matters worse is that the BK Racing team was supporting Domestic Violence Awareness Month this month, so this would kind of go against that in a big way.
A team spokeswoman said the team had no comment at this time.
Kvapil, 37, is a native of Janesville, Wis. and the 2003 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series champion. Right now Kvapil ranks 31st in the points standings, second worst of all full-time drivers, and only ahead of his BKR teammate David Reutimann in 33rd. Kvapil has a best finish of 16th at Bristol in August.

In 2012 the National Bicycle Dealers Association (NBDA) launched a new program that rates bicycle stores in North America against the highest performance levels in the industry, with the goal of identifying and promoting "America's Best Bike Shops." The program defines the characteristics of "America's Best Bike Shops," and uses the results to lead bicycle shops to become the best they can be. It rewards the top performing participants for their achievements by providing recognition to consumers and the bicycle industry.
An on-line application asked shop owners to explain what sets them apart from the competition, how they develop customer loyalty, and what they are doing to make their corner of the globe more bicycle friendly. Participating stores that receive the highest scores on the application were visited by a mystery shopper who rated the store on appearance, web site and customer service both in person and over the phone.
The combination of the on-line application and our very favorable mystery shopper score qualifies Fraser Bicycle once again for 2014 as one of America's Best Bike Shops. Our friendly staff, product selection, clean store, and variety of services should put us at the top of your list too. Please stop by and let us give you a tour or help with your cycling needs.

Comedian Sinbad loves iPod shuffle, Mac mini
Speaking with iLounge at the Macworld Expo in San Francisco, comedian Sinbad expressed continued love and admiration for Apple's Mac and iPod product lines, joking that the Mac mini was "the sort of thing you buy even if you don't need it," and claiming that he'd be buying several for rooms in his house. He also jokingly predicted that people would soon be wearing multiple iPod shuffles at once to hold a large music collection.

I'm amazed how SO many people are jumping on non-"computer" uses for the Mac Mini. Media servers, stereo components, DVRs, car stereos…
I agree that it's versatile, it just surprises me that so many people come to the same conclusion. It will be cool to see what people come up with when you combine cheap, small, and OS X!

The funny thing is, that for the price of two iPod shuffle 1G, you could just get an iPod mini with 4G of space. Not sure what the benefit of having multiples would be—if you want more space, there's a whole other product line for that.
Posted by Prudence in Somerville, MA on January 14, 2005 at 12:07 PM (CST)
What the mini needs to compete equally with the other SFF media servers is a port of Myth from Linux to OSX - and some way to add some multi-zone SPDIF output and analog/HDTV input and output. Maybe through a USB breakout box r custom rack.?

Doctor Who And Dynasty Star Kate O' Mara's Tragic Passing Away
- Order Reprints
- Text Size
By Sonalee singh | March 31, 2014 10:49 PM EST
Dynasty star Kate O'Mara has passed away at 74, after a short-illness. The actress passed away at a Sussex nursing home on Sunday Morning. The actress was known for playing the role of Cassandra Morrell in the 1980s US soap "Dynasty" and she has also played meaty roles in "Doctor Who" and "Howards' Way."
"She was extraordinary, she had so much energy and vitality with a love for theatre and acting.A shining star has gone out and Kate will be dearly missed by all who knew and have worked with her," Mara's agent Phil Belfield said, as quoted by The Mirror.
Paying her tribute to the veteran actress, Joan Collins said, as quited by the website. "Tragic news about Kate O'Mara, we had great fun on Dynasty when she played my sister Caress who Alexis insisted on calling CASSIE! RIP."
Aactor Colin Baker, 70, co-star of Kate, said "Oh my goodness. Kate O'Mara is no longer with us. Sad sad news. A delightful, committed and talented lady and actress. We are the poorer."
Kata Mara had a brilliant television career, however, her personal life was marked with tragedy. She had to give her son, Chris Lind, for an early adoption, as she could not afford to raise him, while her other son, Dickon O'Mara, was found dead in December 2012.
Mara married twice, but both the times, the marriage ended in divorce. In her autobiography "Vamp" Until Ready," Kate spoke about how she was coping-up with the anxiety of growing old
"I was never in one place for more than a year, which means dozens of different schools and that made me immensely independent. That's why it's unlikely I will marry again. I'm no good at relationships because I put my career first. She said, adding, "It sounds lovely to meet somebody who could take all the stresses and strains away, as well as being a money provider, but I've never met anyone like that." (Extract form her autobiography)

Tracing Sugar Land's history from sugarcane plantation to business mecca
Send this to a friend
- Emily Wilkinson
- Print Editor- Houston Business Journal
- Email | Twitter | Google+
What is now a bustling business hot spot was kickstarted by a sugarcane plantation that found its workforce from the nearby state prison.
The plantation set the backbone for what would become Imperial Sugar Co., which harvested and refined local sugar and is the namesake of Sugar Land. However, due to plant disease and high federal taxes, harvesting sugarcane became no longer feasible. The last sugar cane crop was harvested in 1928, and then raw sugar was imported for the refinery, according to the Sugar Land Heritage Foundation.
Imperial Sugar, which was officially founded in 1843, went through ownership changes throughout the years — going public and private — and filed for bankruptcy in 2001, but it emerged the same year amid downsizing plans.
The Imperial Sugar refinery, which had been in continual operation since the mid-1800s, closed in 2003, according to the Sugar Land Heritage Foundation. However, the company's headquarters remain in Sugar Land even though its presence there has greatly diminished. Imperial Sugar had 78 local employees as of September 2013, according to the Fort Bend Economic Development Council.
The company operates refineries in Savannah, Ga., and Gramercy, La., and is one of the largest processors, packagers and marketers of sugar in the U.S.
Preserving the past
Iconic buildings that were once part of Imperial Sugar's operations are being preserved and repurposed as part of Imperial Sugar Land, a 720-acre mixed-use development. North Carolina-based Cherokee Investment and the State of Texas General Land Office own the land, which includes Constellation Field, home of the Sugar Land Skeeters, a minor league baseball team. In 2012, a private-public partnership built the $36 million stadium that can seat up to 10,000, doubles as a concert and event venue and was a major catalyst in revitalizing the area.

Protection for 'unique' airship shed
Wednesday 07 January 2009
A giant shed used to house airships during the First World War was given Grade II listed status by Culture Minister Barbara Follett today.
The "Beta Shed" at Farnborough Airport, one of only a handful of portable airship hangars to have survived across Europe, is to be protected because of its "unique" history.
The structure was created around 1892-1893 and erected at the Hampshire airbase between 1910 and 1911.
It was used during the war to house airships, or balloons, which provided air observation of German submarines, monitoring threats to shipping, including supply convoys, in the North Sea and the Channel.
The new listed status will provide the shed with enhanced protection against insensitive development.
Ms Follett said: "This is a most unusual and unique building and deserves preservation.
"Only six of these sheds existed at the beginning of the First World War, and this one has housed some truly remarkable examples of British engineering.
"Its links with the development of early aerial reconnaissance is a reminder of a critically important time in Britain's aviation history and it deserves the extra protection that listing brings."
Farnborough was the location of the first airship trials, including the first Sea Scout (SS), but the base was abandoned by the Naval Airship Service because of the expanding aeroplane squadrons there, and the personnel and airships were transferred to Kingsnorth, Kent, which became the airship headquarters.

Paul Scholes: I like Rodgers as a manager but Liverpool seem to be going backwards
Come the end of next season it will be 26 years since Liverpool's last league title in 1990. In other words, if they do not win the league this season, or next, then by the summer of 2016 they will have gone the same length of time without winning it that Manchester United did between 1967 and 1993.

Nick Evans ended speculation about his future today as he signed a three-year contract with Harlequins after turning down offers from France and Japan, writes Chris Jones.
It means the 32-year-old fly-half will almost certainly finish his career with the current Aviva Premiership champions at the end of the 2015-16 season.
Evans joined Harlequins in 2008 from Otago and has since made 106 first team appearances for the club during which he has scored 1,184 points including 16 tries.
The All Blacks fly-half went on Twitter to say: "Thank you for the support and great messages, nothing better than playing with a bunch of bloody good b******s with the best supporters!!!"
Earlier, the club had released a statement in which Evans summed up his joy in more conventional terms. He said: "There is no limit to what this team can achieve and I am excited to have an influence both on and off the field.
"My decision was made easy by the ambition of this great club, the success we've had and the hunger to want more. The support I've had from the supporters has been amazing and I'll do my best to help the club stay one of the major forces in English and European rugby.
"Myself and my family are happy to have the opportunity to stay at Harlequins. I'm looking forward to continuing to play with a great bunch of lads and to working with a special coaching staff."
Evans made his Test debut against England in 2004 and went on win 16 caps, representing New Zealand in the 2007 World Cup, and was voted The Rugby Players' Association Player of the Season last season.
"There is not a player, supporter or coach in the game in England, let alone Harlequins, who will not be delighted that Nick Evans has agreed to stay with us for another three years," said Conor O'Shea, Quins director of rugby. "The Aviva Premiership wants the best players playing in it and Nick is one of the very best."
