He's the second in command in the city of Rochester and he's facing criminal charges accused of driving drunk. The deputy mayor's blood alcohol level, according to police, was 0.13. That's almost twice the legal limit.
Leonard Redon was pulled over Wednesday night by state police on I-490 downtown. He's charged with DWI. He's also accused of speeding and driving with an expired inspection. Redon did meet Mayor Warren Thursday morning.
News10NBC saw the deputy mayor in his car Thursday afternoon. State police say it's the same car he was pulled over in Wednesday night.
The deputy mayor was pulled over on I-490 downtown near the Clinton Avenue exit. State police say he was going 70 in a 55 and his inspection was overdue. State police say they gave him a breath test and he blew 0.13, almost twice the legal limit.
Chris Christopher, City spokeswoman, said, "Needless to say Mayor Warren is very disappointed in this turn of events and in the deputy mayor's lapse in judgment."
City spokeswoman Chris Christopher says the mayor met with the deputy mayor and talked about a resignation.
News10NBC's Berkeley Brean said, "Chris, did the deputy mayor offer a resignation to the mayor?"
Chris Christopher, City spokeswoman, said, "Yes."
Brean said, "And she didn't take it?
Christopher said, "She did not accept his resignation."
Brean said, "Why not?"
Christopher said, "He's doing good work on behalf of the people of Rochester. He is sincerely contrite."
Len Redon was named deputy mayor in 2011 by then Mayor Tom Richards. Mayor Lovely Warren asked Redon to stay on as part of her staff. He was a long time executive at Kodak and Paychex before that.
Now, the city says he's taking personal days until next week.
Chris Christopher, City spokeswoman, said, "There's a very simple and very important lesson here. Don't drink and drive."
The deputy mayor will be in court on this charge in April. State police say only a court can suspend a license. The city says his condition was affected by his newly diagnosed diabetes.
Dr. Joe Stankaitis, CMO, Monroe Plan, said, "The ADA recommends that for men they should consume no more than two drinks per day if you're a diabetic, and women even less than that. So that's one of the issues that's out there, and people ought to be aware of that."
Officials at City Hall say Redon does not have any prior arrests or incidents involving drunk driving.
Mayor Lovely Warren released a statement saying, "While I am very disappointed in this turn of events and the Deputy Mayor's lapse in judgment, I have accepted his apology. Leonard Redon is a valued member of my team who is doing good work on behalf of the people of Rochester. I know he is sincerely regretful for the embarrassment he has caused for the city, for me and for himself and will take steps to assure that it never happens again."

HPT's, More To Them Than You ThoughtJul 19, 2001
Popular Products in Health Aids
The Bottom Line Pregnancy tests are NOT created equal! Inform yourself to avoid false test results!
I wrote an epinion some time ago about false negative home pregnancy tests. What I didn't realize then, is WHY there are so many false negative tests! I am writing this to inform. Hopefully, armed with this information, we can all be better consumers and also save ourselves some time, money, and the emotional roller coaster that comes with trying to conceive(or NOT to for that matter) Home Pregnancy Tests measure the amount of hcg(human chorionic gonadotropin) in our urine. It is measured in mIU's. All Home Pregnancy Tests Are Not Created Equal Most HPT's claim they can be used as soon as your first missed period. Technology is on the move, and now on the market are those that are called early pregnancy tests and claim they can be used 10 days past ovulation or 3-4 days before your period is due. As I said before HPT's measure hcg in the urine, and it is measured in mIU's. Each test's sensitivity is different. They measure anywhere from 20 mIU to 250+ mIU. Obviously you will be a positive result a lot sooner if you test with an HPT that tests at 20 mIU than 100 mIU. Below is a comparison of some brands you may know and their sensitivity. Aimstick- 20mIU Confirm 1-Step- 25mIU CVS- 25mIU Lifesign One Step 25mIU One Step Be Sure 25mIU Ept 40mIU Clearblue Easy 50mIU Early Preg. test 50mIU Answer 100mIU Conceive 100mIU Equate(Wal Mart) 100mIU First Response 100mIU Walgreens 100mIU Fact Plus 150-250mIU This list is not complete, but does give you an idea of test sensitivity. Having this knowledge can help keep you from dealing with false negative test results. Now, let's talk about price! I know I have spent a lot of money on HPT's in the past. They can be quite expensive. I've found there are very sensitive tests you can find for as little $2 a piece. These are not fancy. You have to collect your urine in a cup and then dip it in. It is only the test strip, no plastic casing, only the basics. These can certainly help cut costs! Aimstrip listed above is one of these type tests. I've found these as well as other brands online and a search should help you turn them up. Hopefully with this information you won't waste money on tests, and will not encounter any false test results either. (Comparison information found at www.thelaboroflove.com) |

Metadata is data about data.
When it comes to photo metadata, that means it's data/facts/figures/info about your photos.
In the olden days (or last week, if you're a film shooter) photographers had to carry around a notebook to collect metadata. "Roll 6 Shot 7 was set at f/16 1/100 sec and shot at Tamarack Park."
These days, digital cameras are writing down all these fun fact for you. They're not just capturing pictures, they're taking in metadata too!
You've got all kinds of data about your photos you didn't even know about. And, it turns out there are all sorts of nifty things you can do when you've got data about your data.

Ubuntu Hardy Heron: a Visual Overview
Yesterday was Ubuntu day around the Linux Journal office, and I thought it'd be nice to give you a quick peek at what Hardy Heron looks like in action. The Internet is flooded with information on the new version, and our own Justin Ryan has a news brief on it here.
If you'd like to take a look at the OS, however, just take a peek at the video below:

What's with Compiz?
Hi, I really like the show and your walkthrough was pretty cool but I wondered: Is there a reason you don't show any graphics effects? Like the 3D cube or Compiz' window switcher? There are so many little effects that make Ubuntu look really good. You even showed the wobbly windows in your screencast howto. I just think to entice the idea nowadays it takes a little more than firefox and a bittorrent client to make somebody want to try an operating system. Show someone that spinning cube and the chance that they are interested is far greater. It would have been a couple of clicks to show Exposé and 3D window switching in the vid. And that makes a completely different impression. And it works on older computers too. Not as fast but I run it on a geforce2 in a machine that is more than 5 years old and has half a Gig of RAM. Maybe you could make a video about compiz somewhere down the road.
I'll see what I can do... :)
The only reason I didn't make stuff wobble is that it was a virtual machine (read: bad video card emulation). In order to show the installation stuff on the screencast, I had to use a virtual machine.
Compiz is really awesome, I agree with you 100% on that one. In future screencasts, I'll try to show off some of the slick goodness, even if it's not the focus of the video. Collateral awesomeness. hehehe.
Shawn Powers is an Associate Editor for Linux Journal. You might find him chatting on the IRC channel, or Twitter
Compiz: no no!
Compiz really sucks. I don't understand why Ubuntu is making it default! It is making system very slow, really. You tried to watch videos while compiz enabled?
Are you configured correctly?
I don't have any more problems with compiz since Gutsy. I use an ATI card and while that is a pain in the butt you can get it to work pretty easily. There are some good howtos for Ubuntu. My system runs it in 1280 and full effects, I can watch video and 3D applications. I have it disabled because I want a more snappy response because the visual effects do slow things down a bit (but most users don't even notice).
Wow, I've never noticed
I've never noticed a problem watching videos with compiz. I also don't use totem, or whatever gnome comes standard with. I tend to install VLC right away, and watch videos with that.
Love it or hate it, Compiz is awful pretty. :D

Now when Ubuntu is sold.
Now when Ubuntu is out, how about taking comparising cast other distributions, like Mandriva 2008 Spring GNOME ONE? It's build almost identical and is even easier to use than Ubuntu because there is MCC (Mandriva Control Center) what's like isn't there for Ubuntu.
I use both and there are many things what are easier for normal user. Suggestion is so to compare ubuntu to it too, so users would know that Ubuntu isn't somekind special distribution and alternatives are available, if ubuntu does not install easily to own PC (unless editor gets paid by Canonical ;)).
I like to watch these videos because these are simple and nice looking with good humor.
That 3D desktop thing can be done then by two rounds. First installing in virtual machine and second then actual install so real 3D is used for smooth render.
It's nice to see these great simple videos about GNU/Linux but it would be nice if these would be more as "default" type, and not so much Ubuntu oriented (even that Ubuntu is popular now, we all should remember there are other distributions of GNU/Linux out there and Ubuntu isn't only system what brings power of GNU/Linux OS to homeusers) ;-)
As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

Cramer's 6 Stocks in 60 Seconds: LGF GMCR AZO MLNX WRI ASNA (Update 1)
Check out Jim Cramer's latest trading recommendations on "Action Alerts Plus".
(Updates from 11:04 a.m. ET with closing information.)
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Here's what Jim Cramer had to say on CNBC's "Squawk On The Street" Thursday:
Cramer cautioned investors regarding recent upgrades of Lions Gate Films (LGF - Get Report) and Mellanox Pharmeceuticals (MLNX - Get Report), saying "be careful."
Lions Gate shares fell 3% at the Thursday close while Mellanox was up 1.6%.
He was also bearish on Green Mountain Coffee Roasters (GMCR - Get Report), saying a recent upgrade is late to the game. Investors didn't like the Green Mountain taste and its shares closed down 8%. Cramer was more upbeat, however, on AutoZone (AZO - Get Report), saying the auto market continues to be strong. He also likes Weingarten Realty Investors (WRI - Get Report), whose CEO he interviewed last night. AutoZone stock was up 1.1% but Weingarten's was flat. Finally, Cramer said he's still a fan of Ascena Retail (ASNA - Get Report). Investors disagreed, however, and its shares closed down 4.3%.

A Baton Rouge woman is desperately hunting for her missing dog and as FNBR's Emily Turner reports, she's taking her search to new heights.
Its not your typical billboard, a woman offering a $5,000 reward for her lost dog. It's not just any dog, Tamara Jarret says it's her best friend. "I found Samantha when she was a puppy. She was dumped with a whole litter and it was clear from the start that that was my dog and we've been inseparable ever since."
While Jarrett has opened her home to 60 dogs in similar situations, she describes her bond with the Golden Retriever-Collie mix to be something she's never shared with any other animal. "I'd say Samantha, you stink, and she'd go get in the bathtub. She can say Momma and she'll bark twice, ruff ruff, momma!"
A relationship so strong that she feels her week vacation to North Carolina in the last month of December is why Sam went missing. "When I came back I think she was upset with me and I let her out that morning. I said we have somewhere to be in 30 minutes, don't go very far and she looked back at me and took off into the woods, never to be seen again."
It's been nearly a month and a half since Sam's disappearance, but Jarrett is convinced she is still out there and ready to come back home. She has looked everywhere, searching the woods, the side of roads, and found nothing, so she believes her Samantha is still alive. "Until I would know for sure otherwise, I'll have hope and in hope I'll have faith I'll keep looking, I'll never stop looking, never, ever."
A friend of Jarrett's put up the money for the reward in the case. She said it was the least she could do after all Jarrett has done to rescue other dogs.

Aluminum shuffle exploits industry regulations
July 21, 2013 12:00 AMMOUNT CLEMENS, Mich. -- Hundreds of millions of times a day, thirsty Americans open a can of soda, beer or juice. And every time they do it, they pay a fraction of a penny more because of a shrewd maneuver by Goldman Sachs and other financial players that ultimately costs consumers billions of dollars.
The story of how this works begins in 27 industrial warehouses in the Detroit area where Goldman stores customers' aluminum. Each day, a fleet of trucks shuffles 1,500-pound bars of the metal among the warehouses. Two or three times a day, sometimes more, the drivers make the same circuits. They load in one warehouse. They unload in another. And then they do it again.
This industrial dance has been choreographed by Goldman to exploit pricing regulations set up by an overseas commodities exchange, an investigation by The New York Times has found. The back-and-forth lengthens the storage time. And that adds many millions a year to the coffers of Goldman, which owns the warehouses and charges rent to store the metal. It also increases prices paid by manufacturers and consumers across the country.
Tyler Clay, a forklift driver who worked at the Goldman warehouses until early this year, called the process "a merry-go-round of metal."
Only a tenth of a cent or so of an aluminum can's purchase price can be traced back to the strategy. But multiply that amount by the 90 billion aluminum cans consumed in the United States each year -- and add the tons of aluminum used in things like cars, electronics and house siding -- and the efforts by Goldman and other financial players have cost American consumers more than $5 billion over the last three years, say former industry executives, analysts and consultants.
The inflated aluminum pricing is just one way that Wall Street is flexing its financial muscle and capitalizing on loosened federal regulations to sway a variety of commodities markets, according to financial records, regulatory documents and interviews with people involved in the activities.
The maneuvering in markets for oil, wheat, cotton, coffee and more has brought billions in profits to investment banks like Goldman, JPMorgan Chase and Morgan Stanley, while forcing consumers to pay more every time they fill up a gasoline tank, flick on a light switch, open a beer or buy a cell phone. In the past year, federal authorities have accused three banks, including JPMorgan, of rigging electricity prices, and last week JPMorgan was trying to reach a settlement that could cost it $500 million.
Before Goldman bought Metro International -- one of the country's biggest traders of the metal -- three years ago, warehouse customers used to wait an average of six weeks for their purchases to be located, retrieved by forklift and delivered to factories. But now that Goldman owns the company, the wait has grown more than twentyfold -- to more than 16 months, according to industry records.
Goldman Sachs says it complies with all industry standards, which are set by the London Metal Exchange, and there is no suggestion that these activities violate any laws or regulations. Metro International, which declined to comment for this article, in the past has attributed the delays to logistical problems, including a shortage of trucks and forklift drivers, and the administrative complications of tracking so much metal. But interviews with several current and former Metro employees, as well as someone with direct knowledge of the company's business plan, suggest the longer waiting times are part of the company's strategy and help Goldman increase its profits from the warehouses.
Metro International holds nearly 1.5 million tons of aluminum in its Detroit facilities, but industry rules require that all that metal cannot simply sit in a warehouse forever. At least 3,000 tons of that metal must be moved out each day. But nearly all of the metal that Metro moves is not delivered to customers, according to the interviews. Instead, it is shuttled from one warehouse to another.
Because Metro International charges rent each day for the stored metal, the long queues caused by shifting aluminum among its facilities means larger profits for Goldman. And because storage cost is a major component of the "premium" added to the price of all aluminum sold on the spot market, the delays mean higher prices for nearly everyone, even though most of the metal never passes through one of Goldman's warehouses.
Aluminum industry analysts say that the lengthy delays at Metro International since Goldman took over are a major reason the premium on all aluminum sold in the spot market has doubled since 2010. The result is an additional cost of about $2 for the 35 pounds of aluminum used to manufacture 1,000 beverage cans, investment analysts say, and about $12 for the 200 pounds of aluminum in the average American-made car.
"It's a totally artificial cost," said one of them, Jorge Vazquez, managing director at Harbor Aluminum Intelligence, a commodities consulting firm. "It's a drag on the economy. Everyone pays for it."
All of this could come to an end if the Federal Reserve Board declines to extend the exemptions that allowed Goldman and Morgan Stanley to make major investments in nonfinancial businesses -- although there are indications in Washington that the Fed will let the arrangement stand. Wall Street banks, meanwhile, are focusing their attention on another commodity. After a sustained lobbying effort, the Securities and Exchange Commission late last year approved a plan that will allow JPMorgan Chase, Goldman and the Blackstone Group to buy up to 80 percent of the copper available on the market.
By early next year, according to documents filed with the SEC, Goldman plans to be storing copper in the same Detroit-area warehouses where it now stockpiles aluminum.

There'sa good reason for that. The company is/has been inthe crapper for a long time. Rudderless, listless, nostrategy means no/lousy profits, underperforming stock andstockholders heading for the exits (rightfully so, I mightadd) <<<Stock is still very cheapfundmentally and could be in beginning stages of a good moveup.>>I doubt that. Don't hold your breath waiting forthe big move up. I still recommend changing theticker symbol to DUMP. It's overdue.
<<Imitrex sale on insurance may give you$1.00-$1.50 return on investment or perhaps 1-2% return---low margin. >>I must beg to differ.Most (WAG) pharmacies run between a 20% and 32% grossprofit margin. Therefore, our theoretical $100 Imitrexpurchase yields, say, $25 gross profit. After salary andrent, it comes to about $10 profit. And as WAG growsand grows, the HQ expense gets spread over morestores and take a much smaller bite out of theGP.Yes, the third-party plans have reduced the pharmacyGP, but WAG is doing a better job than anybody instopping that slide in profit. Also, WAG is doing a betterjob than anybody in filling more prescriptions withless payroll, using technological advancements to makethe process more efficient.
The drive-thru is for RX pick-up and drop off notmerchandising. As a convenience you have to expect loss of salesfrom front end in exchange for making new customersand keeping existing patients.Imitrex sale oninsurance may give you $1.00-$1.50 return on investment orperhaps 1-2% return ---low margin.
<<They need SHOPPERS not drive- buyshooters. Marketers know this, cut back on store help sincethey don't have the traffic. This makes the buyingexperience a bad one for many of the foot trafficers.>>I don't know about other retailers, but this isdefinitely NOT the case at WAG. In fact, WAG has increasedit's front-end staff by guaranteeing that someone willalways be in the photo lab. This was made cost-effectiveby installing the one-hour photo developing invirtually all stores. This displays the intelligence of WAGupper management: increasing the staffing/customerservice levels and making it profitable by giving themsomething else to sell.
<< Either way he ""BUYS"" the product youare selling. Burger joints, banks, etc don't lose asale because of drive-thru's. You deposit your money;you pay your lones. How? Walk in, drive thru or mail.That's how the convienience factor works for thatretail. Drug stores, WAWA shops, 7-11's need FOOTTRAFFIC. They need SHOPPERS not drive- buyshooters>>While you make a good point that the product McD/BK areselling is the one sold at the d/t, you are discountingthe huge difference in the average ring between fastfood and pharmacy. I imagine the average sale at ffd/t is ~$4.50. At a pharmacy window, when you includethe third-party billing, your average sale is around$40 or $50. Think of the woman on her way home aftera tough day who needs to pick up her presriptionfor Imitrex to fight the migraine she thinks shemight get; that's a $100 sale at the d/t. You've got tosell a lot of burgers to equal that. So if you can addsome prescription business to the pharmacy because ofyour convenient d/t window, it can more than make upfor missing a few candy bar sales on the front end.
Purchase strategy with regard to the split dateis interesting. I am currently considering WAG, buthave decided to wait until the split for the price tosettle a bit. When is the split date?Thank You.
I'm not sure where the info. of profit margins inthe 100s camefrom? I'm hoping you're not serious.Don't confuse high marginsby manufacturers withproviders like WAG. WAG is probably closerto the nat'lgross margins for pharmacies that range fromabout26-30%. Also, Rx dept. only makes up 50% of the averageWAG store revenue...store traffic will always beimportant...just like real interaction with the patient/customer.
The margins on the drugs that WAG sells is sogood, they don't need them to come in and buy lostleaders to drop their profit margins. They make their owndrugs!!!!! Profit margins are in the hundred fold!!!!!
yes, but what does that do for the front endsales that are an important part of all retail? Won'tdo the hurried customer any good when the storeshave to close/consolidate due to lack of revenue. Theliability factor is also a big part. That customer withless time, in a hurry to get in and get out is thevery one that'll fail to be cautious going thru thesewindows. Remember, the McD/Burgerking customer is gettinga burger. He either wants to sit and eat or driveand eat. Either way he ""BUYS"" the product you areselling. Burger joints, banks, etc don't lose a salebecause of drive-thru's. You deposit your money; you payyour lones. How? Walk in, drive thru or mail. That'show the convienience factor works for that retail.Drug stores, WAWA shops, 7-11's need FOOT TRAFFIC.They need SHOPPERS not drive- buy shooters. Marketersknow this, cut back on store help since they don'thave the traffic. This makes the buying experience abad one for many of the foot trafficers. Endresult??lost buisness. School's still out but I believe, alongwith many others in retail, it's a bad, bad idea fordrug stores!!! IMHO
I've glanced at the dell board, but haven't goneback to far on it yet. But I got the value line sheetat the library and am going to look at some of thenumbers. One nice thing about WAG is you can use the WAGannual report as a benchmark for other company reports.Makes fundamental analysis easier. BTW, I'm writingthis on a DELL (my second one). Always been satisfiedwith their products and service. metogoshe

Michael Taylor (prisoner)
Michael Taylor (January 30, 1967 – February 26, 2014) was a Missouri prison inmate on death row, convicted of raping and murdering 15-year-old Ann Harrison after abducting her from a school bus stop in Raytown, Missouri on March 22, 1989.[1] Taylor was aided by Roderick Nunley, who is currently on Missouri's death row for the same crime. Taylor and Nunley, by their own admissions in court, were high on crack cocaine at the time of the crime.[2]
Taylor was scheduled to be executed February 1, 2006, but was granted a stay by the United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit, on the grounds that lethal injection in his case could be cruel and unusual punishment. Missouri asked the Supreme Court to vacate the stay, allowing the execution. Justice Samuel Alito, in his first official act on the Supreme Court, voted with the majority (6-3) to refuse Missouri's request. Alito's vote made headlines because he did not vote with Justices Antonin Scalia, Clarence Thomas and Chief Justice John Roberts, said to be the conservative wing of the court. [3][4]
Taylor was subsequently executed on February 26, 2014 after last minute appeals questioning the reliability of Missouri's new, unnamed supplier of the execution drug pentobarbital were turned down, becoming the fourth person to receive the death penalty in Missouri in four months.[5]
