Columbus Double Murder Suspect Wounded By Police
Columbus police say a double murder suspect was shot and wounded Wednesday by officers near Parsons Avenue and Kossuth Street. He was taken into custody shortly after the killings.
Some U.S. Congresswomen are rolling through Ohio on a bus tour through the Midwest, talking about the challenges women face in the workplace. The bus made two stops in Ohio today: One in Cleveland, and one in Columbus.
Democratic U.S. Representative Joyce Beatty hops off a big purple bus, plastered with the slogan "When Women Succeed, America Succeeds.†She takes the stage outside the Ohio Statehouse and explains the message that's being stressed on the bus tour from Seneca Falls, New York to Chicago Illinois.
"My message is simple: When women succeed, America succeeds. And women need equal pay for equal work, paid sick leave and access to affordable child care."
But Beatty isn't the only one on the bus. She introduces former Speaker of the U.S. House and the first woman ever to serve in that position, Nancy Pelosi.
Pelosi says she and other Democrats in Congress are trying to pass bills that would mandate women get equal pay for equal work, would give families of all income levels more access to high quality, affordable child care and would raise the minimum wage. She notes many women are trying to raise families on jobs that earn the minimum wage.
"So let's make a decision to be the great country that we are and to do something about it. We know what the problem is. We have the legislative solutions," Pelosi says.
"What is missing are the votes. We only need 17 votes to make this happen. Seventeen votes."
And to get those votes, Pelosi says Ohio women need to go to the polls and elect Democratic candidates who will support these issues.
"This is a fact. When women succeed, America succeeds. And it's the actual jolt that our economy needs so that we have an economy that is not only job creating but GOOD job creating," Pelosi says.
But Chris Schrimpf of the Ohio Republican Party says this is just Democratic rhetoric. He says the fact is what the Democrats say doesn't match what the Democrats do.
"We saw what a Nancy Pelosi Congress does. They ram through legislation like Obamacare without listening the opposition and the result is economic and health disaster for the American people."
The Republican Speaker of the Ohio House, Bill Batchelder, doesn't have much use for the message being spread on this bus tour.
"I think a lot of these things have been addressed," Batchelder says.
"So I would suggest that I'm not excited to hear much from people in Washington in terms of handling the problems the country has. Obviously, the economy continues to decline, unemployment continues to be where it was a year and a half ago and so forth. I would think they might to attend to those things.
Batchelder says Republican lawmakers in the Ohio House are doing something about the women's issues being discussed on the bus. He notes there's a bill being considered right now that would set up a council to study problems faced by women in the workplace.
But the Democrats say it's not a matter of identifying problems….it's a matter of fixing them. Pelosi says if Congress would pass legislation to make the workplace better for women, it would pay off.
If you want to grow the U.S. economy, the best thing you can do is to engage women in the economic growth of our country.
Pelosi and the Democrats say the only way to solve this problem is to get women who care about these problems to vote for people who will solve them. And she says that means voting in all elections, not just the presidential contests.

Proud to focus on students, businesses and jobs
The Oregon Legislature recently wrapped up the 2014 session, and Im proud to report on the progress we made in supporting Oregons recovering economy and expanding opportunities for our local community. Legislators from both sides of the aisle joined to create meaningful policy that will strengthen our schools, support local businesses, and help get Oregonians back to work.
This session, I focused on passing legislation that will provide better support for our students. Currently, more than half of school children in Oregon qualify for free lunch services at their local schools. However, those critical services disappear with summer vacation. Thats why I co-sponsored new laws that will increase students access to summer lunch programs and create new summer learning programs at high-poverty schools throughout the state.
Like so many Oregonians, the course of my life was changed by education its why I became a professor. Its also why it is a major priority for me to make higher education more affordable and accessible for students from all backgrounds, and Im thrilled to report that my Aspirations to College bill House Bill 4116 passed with unanimous, bipartisan support. Modeled after Portland Community Colleges successful Future Connect Program, House Bill 4116 will now provide students from low-income backgrounds, or those who are first in their families to attend college, with access to the scholarships and tools needed to excel in their post-secondary education.
As the economic engine of the state, Washington Countys economy is showing signs of recovery, but its not growing fast enough. This session, I was proud to support laws to encourage job creation and support Oregons economic vitality. To develop growth in our regions booming tech industry, we passed House Bill 4005 to help technology companies create jobs here in Washington County, as well as Oregons Entrepreneurial Development Loan Fund (Senate Bill 1563) which increases access to capital for local businesses.
To respond to the needs Ive been hearing from unemployed Oregonians and local employers, and to address the skills gap in Oregons rapidly developing bioscience industry, I sponsored the Dislocated Worker Training Bill. Passing with bipartisan support, Senate Bill 1527 will establish a pilot program tailored to retraining unemployed and underemployed engineers getting Oregon talent back to work in the jobs that are available right now.
This session, I focused on meeting the needs of Oregon students, creating opportunities for Oregonians to get back on the job, supporting local businesses and protecting our states most vulnerable. My Protected Persons Special Advocate Bill will expand safeguards to some of Oregons most vulnerable residents by targeting protections for seniors with cogitative impairments and adults with developmental disabilities. In re-balancing the state budget, we protected critical services and boosted investments in supplemental nutrition assistance meal programs, bonding for affordable housing, and emergency housing and homelessness assistance to give Oregonians the tools needed to climb out of poverty.
My office and our government always works better with your input. Please contact me with any questions, concerns or ideas you have. Im available at 503-986-1430 or via email at email@example.com.
State Rep. Joe Gallegos (D-Hillsboro) represents Oregons 30th Legislative District.

James Lawton on the Ashes: Pressure is now on Kevin Pietersen to reassure a suddenly nervy nation
The Poms had been found guilty of the most outrageous act of presumption
James Lawton
James Lawton is Chief Sports Writer for The Independent and Sports Journalist of the Year 2011.
Trent Bridge
Friday 12 July 2013
The beauty of winning any Test match – let alone the one here which after just two days is shaping up as both great and astonishing – is that it takes more than one burst of the kind of fortitude and brilliance 19-year-old Ashton Agar brought to the old battleground.
You also have to have the reserves of nerve and patience which England's captain, Alastair Cook, had to demand from himself and his most gifted batsman, Kevin Pietersen, after the young Australian had created a record-breaking momentum all of his own.
Agar, reared in Victoria but of Sri Lankan heritage and picked not as a batsman but yet another of the legion of tenderfoot spinners asked to fill the vacuum created by the departure of Shane Warne, scored 98 unprecedented runs of mostly impeccable technique and superb imagination from the No 11 position.
Much more importantly, he gave the most dramatic evidence so far that claims the home-and-away Ashes series will result in a 10-match whitewash of his team reside mostly in the over-heated imaginations of former England captains like Sir Ian Botham and Andrew Flintoff.
The transformation Agar worked in the company of his senior team-mate Phil Hughes – they put on 163 for the last wicket – was breathtaking, a great and unforgettable phenomenon in the toughest, most demanding terrain of their game.
It also invited an England team which raced to the top of the Test rankings not so long ago, then threw away the achievement partly through an eruption of adolescent civil war in the dressing room, to stand up finally and play some serious cricket at the outset of this Ashes series they have been widely tipped to dominate from the word go.
So far it just hasn't happened. The tough old bowling warrior Peter Siddle, also from Victoria, stole the first day with a five-wicket haul which came as a reminder of the hat-trick he worked against England at The Gabba at the start of the 2010-11 series.
Siddle gave his team more than a sniff of blood here on Wednesday. Today Agar was the second part of a one-two punch combination which left England fans stunned and their Australian counterparts exulting. The Poms, cried their tormentors, had been found guilty of the most outrageous acts of presumption in the history of big-time sport. England might prevail, it was true, but by 10-0? What kind of cigarettes had Botham and Flintoff been smoking?
It was a reasonable question when Agar unfurled his precocious batting gifts, but then it is also true that, despite the youngster's record of three half-centuries in 10 first-class matches, there could be no reason to believe he would hit quite such majestic levels.
The sadness was that after hitting 12 fours and two sixes – all of them with a beautiful and at times almost nonchalant authority – the first clear signs of vulnerability came only when he drew to within two runs of his century. Then, there were hints that he might just not have been entirely mis-cast in the No 11 position. Suddenly he seemed aware that he had marched into an extraordinary position in cricket history and that a 100 would mark the perfect celebration.
Stuart Broad, forced into the lightest action because of injury, has never been squeamish in the matter of exploiting signs of weakness and he duly applied a little heat. Agar, who had been wielding his bat so deftly and with so much certainty, reached out for his century with none of the precision he had been almost routinely showing against bowlers of the quality of Jimmy Anderson and Graeme Swann, the latter dashing in from deep midwicket to make the catch.
That left England trailing by 65 after scoring 215 in the first innings – staggeringly, when you recalled that when Agar came to the wicket Australia had crumbled to a ruinous 117 for 9 – and with a huge requirement to check momentum which had swung so hugely behind their opponents.
This was an extremely desirable development when Cook sat down with his shell-shocked troops, but then soon enough it was a case of basic survival.
The excellent Mitchell Starc, a left- arm fast swing bowler who moves with the smooth action of the most promising of candidates in a most demanding discipline, augmented the work of his young team-mate with two superb strikes. One sent back Joe Root, the other had the cornerstone man Jonathan Trott lbw. There was some dispute about this when it went to review, but, all video deliberations apart, it was a beautiful delivery which surely sent a chill through the English dressing room.
England were 11 for 2 and they had to deal with a deficit that seemed to grow more formidable each time Cook and his new partner Pietersen displayed something less than the confidence that accompanies their most prolific periods of run-hoarding. Agar was called again to the front line, this time with a ball in his hand, and caused both batsmen moments of discomfort.
By the finish, though, England had nosed into a 15-run lead. It had been hard and not always convincing work but there was the supreme virtue of superior application.
Pietersen was easy to see as the decisive counter-weight to the extraordinary break-out of Agar. His speed of accumulation and the ease with which he can slip into a mood of untrammelled virtuosity certainly brought a shadow to the Australians efforts in the evening sunlight. At least the promise of it did.
As it was, Pietersen produced a couple of boundaries of absolute facility, and at 37 was plainly England's best chance of putting down a team which has, on two straight days, had the temerity to suggest they might just win what is supposed to be one of the most one-sided battles in Ashes history.
Siddle and Agar, Hughes and Starc maybe an unfamiliar, even unlikely cast of heroes, but they have announced that they are dangerous and it is Pietersen's job today to provide a degree of reassurance to a suddenly anxious nation. It will probably take a least a century – and a good one too.
Timeline: How the second day unfolded at Trent Bridge
10.24: England injury update
England's fast bowler Stuart Broad, who bruised his arm on the first day, will take to the field and is expected to bowl. Relief for the hosts, but will he be at his best?
11.29: 50 for Smith: Aus 108-4
Smith drives through the covers for four off Swann. Smith is the first batsman to make a half-century in this Test.
11.32: Wicket: Smith c Prior b Anderson 53. Aus 108-5
Early breakthrough: Smith aims an airy drive at Anderson's full delivery and is caught behind.
11.37: Wicket: Haddin b Swann 1. Aus 113-6
Stunning ball by the in-form Swann. His delivery pitches well outside off stump but spins back sharply and clean bowls Haddin. England gain momentum.
11.43: Wicket: Siddle c Prior b Anderson 1. Aus 114-7
Top wicketkeeping: Siddle nicks Anderson's delivery and Prior takes a brilliant one-handed catch.
11.47: Dropped catch: Aus 114-7
Anderson draws new man Starc into edging straight to Swann at second slip. It's a regulation catch but he fumbles it – much to his own disgust.
11.50: Wicket: Starc c Prior b Anderson 0. Aus 114-8
Anderson, the master of the art of reverse-swing bowling, finally gets his man to bring up superb figures of 5-39.
11.58: Wicket: Pattinson lbw Swann 2. Aus 117-9
Swann traps Pattinson lbw. Agar is next in. England will soon be batting again, surely?
1.09: 50 up for Agar: Aus 192-9
Agar is proving to be a very capable batsman, becoming the first Test debutant No 11 to score 50.
1.14: 50 up for Hughes: Aus 206-9
Brilliant moment for the resolute Australia batsmen. After Smith and Agar, Hughes – who has been stoic at the crease – brings up his half-century. How can England break this stand?
2.37: Test record: Aus 271/9
Hughes and Agar bring up their 150-run partnership before going on to set a new Test record for a 10th-wicket partnership.
2.53: Wicket: Agar c Swann b Broad 98. Aus 280 all out
The Ashton Agar Show ends. The 19-year-old debutant, who played like a top-order batsman, is caught just short of his ton.
3.10: Umpire review: Eng 3-0
Nervy start to England's second innings. Umpire turns down Starc's lbw appeal against Root. Aussies ask for referral which shows ball clipping leg stump. Umpire's call. Not out.
3.36: Wicket: Root c Haddin b Starc 5. Eng 11-1
Terrible start. The Yorkshireman nicks Starc's delivery and Haddin happily takes the catch.
3.40: Wicket: Trott lbw b Starc 0. Eng 11-2
Trott trapped in front, umpire says not out. Australia refer it. Replay shows it's plumb despite claims Trott got a nick.
4.01: Hat-trick ball: Eng 11-2
Third hat-trick ball of the match so far... but Starc bowls a poor delivery, judged to be a wide. England desperately need some stability at the crease now.
5.49: Hosts lead by two runs: Eng 67-2
England make very slow progress as captain Cook cover drives and moves England into the lead.
6.33: Stumps: Eng 80-2
An absorbing day comes to a close. A slow final session sees Cook (37) and Pietersen (35) survive as England build a 15-run lead.Giles Lucas

Mad Zack perfoms on the Traktor Kontrol S4 and S2
Mad Zach in a mind-blowing routine using the upcoming all-in-one controllers S4 and S2 on laptop, iPad, and iPhone. More: http://native-instruments.com/traktor
From cue point juggling to on-the-fly Remix Deck and Flux Mode improvisation, Mad Zach performs a controllerist routine on a variety of setups, combining the new Traktor Kontrol S4, the new S2, Traktor Pro 2 and Traktor DJ on iPad and iPhone.
Track: Mad Zach – Tunnel Vision
Follow Mad Zach here: https://www.facebook.com/Mad.Zach.Off…
The redesigned TRAKTOR KONTROL S4 and S2 are now plug-and-play with TRAKTOR DJ for iPad and iPhone. New aluminum-plated jog wheels, RGB buttons, and more let you ignite the dancefloor like never before, on your laptop or iOS device.
Leap Motion with Traktor: First Attempt
Exploring the idea of using the Leap Motion, along with the GECO gestural MIDI app, as a DJ controller for Traktor. DJ SelArom is not using the Leap Motion as a replacement for a traditional DJ controller, but to augment it with new gestural controls, more info below:
I recently got the Leap Motion Controller, and here is the first attempt to use it mixing live. Still getting used to doing this without flailing around like an idiot, but it's definitely a lot more fun that it looks!
If there is enough interest I'll write up a blog about the software and mappings, sound off in the comments and let me know what you think!

Traktor DJ Cable – the entry-level Traktor DJ solution
Traktor DJ Cable is an ideal solution for beginner DJs starting out with Traktor DJ.
Traktor DJ Cable lets you pre-listen to your next track for smoother mixing. Unlike standard splitter cables, it splits your A and B decks onto separate outputs, so you can listen to each one independently. With a standard splitter cable, you'd hear the same audio from both outputs.
More about Traktor DJ. http://www.native-instruments.com/tra…
DJ Controller: Numark Orbit Overview and Demo
Going over the features and demonstrates the controls of the Numark Orbit wireless DJ controller.
The Numark Orbit has the standard DJ controls you can come to expect from other popular DJ controllers. There are some obvious differences but you have everything you need to get mixing and performing, right out of the box. While many DJ controllers tout the "plug and play" functionality but require a few extra steps to get going, the Numark Orbit and it's companion Orbit DJ software synched as soon as I got connected. So if you are someone who is just starting out with audio and DJ software, you can rest assured that the Numark Orbit will not put up a fight when it comes to getting started right out of the box.
The pads, the bank buttons, the bumpers, and the endless rotary, all have a great feel and the controller itself is built very well. Using the rotary wheel in the middle is certainly a different way to DJ. It can be used to control volume, EQ levels, and act as a crossfader depending on what function you have it assigned to control. The wheel itself responds well to the touch and has a nice LED indicator for your level control.
Next to the wireless capabilities, the built in accelerometer is sort of what the Numark Orbit is all about. You can control all the parameters of your effects by tapping the bumpers and manipulating the controller in the proper fashion. Each bumper can control a parameter of a selected effect on its own, or you can hold down both bumpers and open the full function of the accelerometer control. You can lock the Numark Orbit's accelerometer by double tapping the bumper, which eliminates the need to hold the bumper down when controlling effects.
The new Traktor Kontrol X1 is coming
The carefully redesigned DJ performance controller for TRAKTOR PRO 2 is coming soon. http://www.native-instruments.com/x1
Witness the evolution of TRAKTOR KONTROL X1. A new multi-purpose touch strip lets you nudge, needle drop, or get creative with loops and effects – at the swipe of a finger. Touch-sensitive encoders provide smart, reactive TRAKTOR integration. Command your decks as RGB back-lit buttons provide constant feedback, even in the darkest clubs.
Power, precision, and portability under maximum control – you've never felt closer to the music.

Hands-on with the Native Instruments Traktor Kontrol Z1
Music Radar demos NI's latest DJ controller, which works for both Traktor Pro 2 and Traktor DJ for iOS
It features mixer controls for two channels – each with faders and controls for gain, three-band EQ and a rotary which can be switched between controlling either Traktor's filter or one of the software's effects.
The Z1 also features a built-in audio interface, and allows tracks to be cued via an independent headphone output with its own volume and blend controls.
MASCHINE, Aerobic, and the Astounding Groove
Native Instruments REAKTOR's Aerobic just begs to be used inside MASCHINE. There are any number of ways to use Aerobic inside Maschine, but let's look at two specifically: 1) as a drum synth whose individual hits can be triggered by MASCHINE's Pads, and 2) as a DJ-style loop-mixing setup.
Traktor Cue Point Strategies: Reference and Performance
Back to basics! Ean goes through the basics of great cue point placement and usage in Traktor Pro. Read the full article here: http://bit.ly/10KXgIu
With 300 to 500 songs (minimum) in a digital DJ's regular rotation, it's nearly impossible to remember every song's structure, but knowing your music remains one of the most important requirements for all DJs. Upon loading a new track, the most important things to know instantly about a song are:
- Where is the first beat?
- Where is the best place to start mixing?
- When does the vocal, bass line, or main part of the song begin?
Stated differently, where should I be done with the mix?
- Where are the most natural mix out points in the song?
Fortunately most DJ software has a variety of cue points that can be used as flags to remind you of the critical places in a track. Traktor has a set of cue points which are different colors and serve different purposes, so these are best suited for flagging a track.

Will I regret 1/2" or 3/8" engineered hardwood?
I've been looking at engineered flooring for the entire house (75% over crawlspace, 25% over slab) and I need some assistance with the final choices. The DW likes darker floors (eg walnut), but more important priorities are durability and cost. We really like the look of the Shaw Camden Hills in Lasso. http://shawfloors.com/hardwood-floorsDetails/Hickory/Shaw_Hardwoods/Camden_Hills_SW433-Lasso
but we're concerned about some of the negative reviews online regarding delamination, etc. Another choice would be the Anderson Dellamano in Hickory Espresso http://www.andersonfloors.com/Hardwood.aspx?collection=3 It seems like their construction is about the same, 3 ply + a thinner wear layer, but Anderson supposedly has a better reputation. Some flooring sales people have pushed the even thinner 3/8" Shaw Epic line with the particle board center as a better alternative due the increased hardness and cheaper price. Should I take any of these options off the table? The total cost is important, but we want to do it right the first time. Thanks!
Shaw would absolutely back any delam issue you would ever had and it is warranted for life. That is key. We have sold Shaw engineered for years and have never has one claim yet. PS Shaw owns anderson and most Shaw Anderson woods are produced in Anderson Mills which is now Shaw owned.
Thanks for the info, I didn't know Anderson was owned by Shaw. Are their hardwoods manufactured in the same mills?
I was planning to ask for glue down with a waterproof adhesive, but now I'm not so sure. We have both crawlspace and slab and in order to have everything leveled, we will need to install plywood over the subfloor everywhere. Does that mean that the plywood should be glued to the concrete (with the water proof glue) and the floor needs to be glued to the plywood? Would that cause moisture issues since the plywood is "sealed" on both sides?
Any advice on the EnviroCore by Shaw? Is it better, or just cheaper?

So James Franco has declared that 'Social Media Is Over' and done the unthinkable...he has shut down his Twitter account.
Will the world stop spinning? Is this the end of western civilization? What next, will people stop asking questions on Quora, will they cease to publish photos on Facebook, will we see the end of Skype-messaging? Worst of all, might the long-awaited Godot known as "Enterprise 2.0" now never turn up?
Well I have news for us all: Franco may be righter than he knows.
It is not that Social Media Is Dead, however. It is that "Social Media" itself is too fanciful a term, right up there with "Social Shopping."
Personally I am not convinced that Twitter is primarily a social medium, I see it more as a collaboration tool that has been momentarily sidelined and become stereotyped in its usage despite its infinite applicability.
But then that is the curse of "Social" - the word has a track record of bogging down all that it engulfs.
One example. I am so ancient that when I first studied "Social" and Political Science at Cambridge, there wasn't even a Social Science faculty, my degree course was affiliated to the Committee of Social & Political Science. Adding the word "Social" to science, back in the day, was akin to adding the word "Fair" to trade. People smelled a rat!
Now it gets added to anything and everything, so that we have the Social Graph, we have Social Data, and we even have Social Authority. But the mother and father of all the "Social" colloquies remains "Social Media."
Let's see whether James Franco's move this week triggers a debate as to whether we are not about to see a correction in the international marketplace of ideas, a retrenchment from the strangely misguided notion that the hand the writes the most Tweets rules the world.
No wonder China is out-pacing the U.S. on so many metrics of productivity and economic progress: according to Nielsen, social networking now accounts for 22% of all time spent online in the U.S.

"I've been waiting for a Stephenson book like this"
Reamde is about as reminiscent to a Snow Crash modern novel as you can get. Set in a more contemporary time than I've grown accustomed to with Stephenson, I found this book to be a great story with engaging characters. At times I felt like I was reading about James Bond who happened to know a Jack Ryan-Steve Jobs-esque billionaire who was related to a young Foxy Brown - all of whom happened to run in to Osama Bin Laden. Loved every minute of it.
As with his other works, the level of detail and richness of character traits makes me think Stephenson must spend most of his free time visiting these locations and writing about people in his family. I went with the audio book this time and was not dissapointed. The narrator did an excellent job switching from character to character - all with pronounced accents - conveying a fantastic degree of "suspension of disbelief" that I rarely get in an audio book.
"Learned a lot of what we are learning..."
It's funny. I work in a techno-centric company and over the last few years, we've been deluged with "new" insights on how to approach our business. Come to find out, we've been trying to replicate Jobs' "secret sauce" in the process. What we haven't learned are all the pitfalls that come with such approaches. The author does a brilliant job at showcasing not only the GREAT things about Jobs as leader, but also being very candid about his shortcomings and failings. This honest approach allows the reader to sift through the history of one of the great innovators of our time and see what works and what doesn't. This is as valuable as any "business book approach" as I've ever read.
As I listened, I felt a lot like I was watching an episode of the Sopranos. Here's this flawed, ego-centric, mean-spirited guy... that you can't help but love. Steve Jobs' life is by no stretch of the imagination sugar coated in this treatise. You will find it hard to fit him in to one category of love or hate. His life was literally too dynamic to allow that - which is refreshing.
If all you have ever heard about Jobs were the sound-bites and anectdotal stories about one of the icons of our times, this book will open your eyes to a world that is as tragic as it is triumphant.
I've listened to a lot of audio books - and I'm not quite sure where all the ire comes from regarding the narrator. Perhaps the listeners are applying Jobs' perfectionist reality distortion field. Maybe that's their tribute to him? Not sure, but the narrator was not distracting and does just fine.
