Christopher Heine | March 6, 2012 | Comments
It marks the first national coupons-based effort on the geo-social app.
About 11 months after Walgreens became the first national advertiser on Foursquare, the retailer is running the first nationwide coupon on the mobile app.
According to a prepared release from the firms this morning, the initial coupon offers 50 percent off Arizona Ice Tea in a can. The coupons, limited one per customer, are available through March 10.
Walgreens patrons who record Foursquare check-ins at the brand's 8,000-plus stores via their iPhone, Android, or BlackBerry smartphones get a scannable digital code that's immediately redeemable in the store.
"We're using mobile technology and social media to better engage Walgreens customers, to give them convenient channels to interact with us and to deliver products, services and savings they truly value, " said Sona Chawla, Walgreens president of e-commerce, in a prepared statement.
Eric Friedman, director of Foursquare business development, said in the release, "Walgreens has been an innovative partner on the foursquare platform and this is a perfect opportunity to test our new functionality."
During late March 2011, Walgreens awarded Foursquare check-ins with 15 percent off eligible items and 20 percent off Walgreens-branded products. The new campaign is similar, but combines check-ins with coupon redemptions. It will enable the stores to track the geo-social campaign from a more traditional, point-of-sale view with scannable codes.
Walgreens' mobile couponing effort - not on Foursquare - over the holidays helped encourage 500,000 downloads of its mobile app, according to the retailer. The brand is increasingly targeting on-the-go consumers, running mobile ads that push its app downloads via content sites like Huffington Post in recent weeks.

FCC Complaint: When Did Grainy Images of My Own Future Demise Become Acceptable Television? by Charlie Stockman
Dear FCC Goldbrickers,
My apologies if this complaint letter tends to ramble or does not fit a prescribed format. It is the first such letter I have had cause to write. Not because heretofore you were doing your jobs — indeed, I suspect you were not — but because in all my 67 years, I have never watched TV. That is, I never had watched TV, until a month ago when fate put me face to face with the vile medium. Allow me to explain.
You see it was around that time that I inherited an estate from a distant uncle in the backwoods of Massachusetts. It is a wonderful place, away from [...]

Roberta Vinci gave Italy a precious lead in the Fed Cup final on Saturday with a hard-fought 5-7, 7-5, 8-6 victory over Russian Alexandra Panova. Vinci, 30, had the partisan crowd on their feet after racing to a 4-0 lead on the slow red clay of the Cagliari tennis club.
However, the 30-year-old Italian, ranked 13th in the world, was stunned by an impressive fightback which allowed her younger opponent to take the first set 7-5.
Vinci was trailing 5-3 in the second set, appearing to lack confidence, but was helped enormously when Panova committed a series of unforced errors.
Vinci served to reduce the arrears to 5-4 and dug deep in the next game, forcing more errors from the Russian to break serve and draw level before gaining momentum and finally taking the second set 7-5.
Spirited fightback
In the deciding set, Vinci launched another spirited fightback, drawing level at 5-5 and took the next game to love as the Russian committed more unforced errors.
Sensing the danger, Panova dug deep on serve to overturn a love to 30 deficit in the 12th game to pull level at 6-6.
However, Vinci took a 7-6 lead when she lobbed Panova after she had made a naive dash to the net before sealing the match when Panova's nerves got the better of her in the final game.
The result: Italy 1 leads Russia 0 (Roberta Vinci bt Alexandra Panova 5-7, 7-5, 8-6). — AFP

Divorce docs: Changes worried metal singer's wife
Authorities said a task force from several law enforcement agencies launched an investigation that led to the arrest late Tuesday. The department would give no further details.
A man who answered the phone at a number listed in the singer's name in Del Mar said the family was not commenting at this time, and Lambesis' attorney could not be reached for comment.
As I Lay Dying formed in San Diego in 2000 and has released six albums, including 2007's "An Ocean Between Us," which reached No. 8 on Billboard's charts. A single from the album, "Nothing Left," was nominated for a Grammy for top metal performance.
The band, which plays in an aggressive style that features metal guitar riffs at the furious pace of hardcore punk, was scheduled to tour the country this summer.
Its record label, Metal Blade, said in a message posted to the band's fans that "there are many unanswered questions, and the situation will become clearer in the coming days and weeks."
"We'll keep you informed as best we can," the message said. "Our thoughts right now are with Tim, his family, and with everyone else affected by this terrible situation."

The war continues between embattled exes Jon and Kate Gosselin, and although he's been out of the public eye since his last reality TV appearance, Jon is furious that Kate is putting their eight children back on TV and is thinking about going after her for custody.
According to a new report from Life & Style magazine, Kate, 39, has been abruptly canceling Jon's visits with the kids and he's prepared to fight back.
"He would love to take her to court and get total custody of his kids," a source told the tabloid.
"He doesn't want them on TV and doesn't want Kate's influence on them. He'll do whatever it takes."
PHOTOS: Kate Gosselin Through The Years
As Radar previously reported, a close family insider claims Jon relinquished his say about whether or not the kids appear on TV in exchange for not paying any child support to Kate — but now the father of eight is serious about exploring his legal options.
"If Kate is keeping the children away from their father, she leaves herself open to upsetting the court and they could change custody," family law expert Goldie Schon told Life & Style.
"He can file for a modification of the custody agreement."
PHOTOS: Kate Gosselin Growing Up
But the real issue here is money, and Jon doesn't have it .
"Kate knows Jon doesn't have the finances to fight it, so she just does whatever she wants," the source added.
"[The kids] love spending time with Jon and wish they could see him more."
Do you think Jon and Kate will ever come to a fair resolution when it comes to the kids? Sound off in the comments below…

Before & After: Kristen's Modern Regency Bedroom Makeover
Kristen Hettich has been living in her Burbank duplex for five years now but never had the intention of staying longer than 9 months. This was the very reason she hesitated ever really investing in the decor. "I was planning on moving back to South Florida. With this mindset I was thinking temporary furniture and also thinking in the mind frame of a 22 year old." Besides the fact that when she first moved in with a temporary mindset, she also was raising a puppy who was destroying everything. "My style back then was very different and did have the college/dorm type feel. I obviously didn't move back to Florida and so as I've lived here longer I wanted it to feel more "homey" and settled in." Kristen has really wanted decorate her place for the last 4 years, however admits that she was confused in what direction to go because she likes so many different styles and didn't know how to create the look that felt right.
The evolution of Kristen's house has been a very slow process but she felt that she had to start with her bedroom. It was the one room that troubled her the most because she couldn't sleep comfortably there and it was very overcrowded and unorganized. For this feat, she hired interior designer Lindye Galloway to assist her in the process.
Kristen admits that during the process of working with Lindye, that her room has been transformed already three times. The size of the bedroom and it's layout added additional frustration and she had to spend a lot of time scaling back and getting rid of things before even thinking about what direction to take the look. Originally she was inspired by a luxe regency hotel room in Palm Beach Florida, she wanted to take bits and pieces to curate a similar vibe. "I saw Lindye's work through Bethany and from one particular space she did I was really impressed and felt she had a similar aesthetic and thought she would really understand what it is I am trying to achieve."
Lindye started her business in styling five years ago and interior design two years ago. "My personal style lends itself towards the transitional side of design. I like clean lines, the mixing of different textures and layers and pops of color in unconventional ways. In every space I design I focus on bringing a bit of a "surprise" element that makes a statement!" She says her main goal in aiding Kristen's bedroom makeover was to help her create a tranquil retreat, which was both a peaceful and stylish place for her to rest. "We wanted to make the small space feel larger and give it a perfect touch of glam!" Working with the small square footage and shape of the room, Kristen and Lindye wanted to draw your eyes upward to elevate the appearance of the ceiling. By adding polka dots and a statement lighting fixture, they landed with a bright and open space.
Thank you Kristen! And thank you Lindye!

French power company in hunt for Constellation
A $4.5 billion bid Wednesday by France's state-controlled power company for reactors in Maryland and New York could lead to the only foreign ownership stake in U.S. nuclear plants.
The late bid for half of Constellation Energy's nuclear business also puts Electricite de France SA in direct competition with an American icon, Warren Buffet.
Buffet's MidAmerican Energy Holdings Co. swept in to acquire Constellation Energy three months ago as the company, with significant nuclear power holdings, struggled to find cash.
While angry shareholders have already filed at least half a dozen lawsuits, saying MidAmerican's $4.7 billion bid for the entire company is cheap, EDF faces its own hurdles in gaining a foothold in the U.S. nuclear industry.
"This is going to be held against them," said Angie Storozynski, an analyst with Macquarie Research Equities in New York.
Storozynski said MidAmerican could raise a nationalist argument against the French offer, stoking similar concerns as those over a 2006 plan by Dubai-owned DP World to manage six of the largest ports in the United States.
"The French government is a shareholder of EDF," Storozynski said. "So it's not only a foreign entity buying nuclear assets, but it's also indirectly a foreign government getting partial control of nuclear assets in the U.S."
Altogether, Constellation contributes roughly 5 percent of the total nuclear generating capacity in the United States.
Even if accepted by Constellation, the deal would need approval by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission. The federal government bans foreign companies from taking full ownership of a nuclear plant. That means that technically, the EDF deal could be approved.
"The NRC must be able to maintain authority over the civilian use of nuclear materials," NRC spokesman Scott Burnell said.
The NRC would make sure decisions regarding plant safety remain in control of a "U.S. entity," Burnell said.
In the late 1990s, British Energy helped found AmerGen Energy Co., gaining 50 percent ownership of nuclear plants in Middletown, Penn., Oyster Creek, N.J., and Clinton, Ill. It sold its stake in 2003 for $277 million.
NRC spokesman Neil A. Sheehan said that during British Energy's tenure as an American nuclear power plant operator, it gave regulators few problems.
"They had Americans in all the executive positions," Sheehan said. "We didn't identify any conflicts."
Like British Energy, EDF plans to leave key operating issues to U.S. citizens.
Constellation said in a regulatory filing that security committee would oversee nuclear and security issues. Constellation would pick three of the committee's five directors, and EDF would pick two. In addition, Constellation said at least four of the five committee members would be U.S. citizens.
"EDF expects it can receive the necessary regulatory approvals for the acquisition of its interest in the nuclear generation and operation business and close the transaction within six to nine months, upon Constellation's termination of its proposed transaction with MidAmerican Energy," the company said.
Constellation said it was reviewing the offer. Its shares jumped 10 percent, or $2.55, to $27.70 in Wednesday trading.

The Centre for Science and Environment Director-General, Sunita Narain, has demanded that all junk food be banned from unaided and private schools across the country. Food high in fat, sugar and salt (HFSS) should not be available in educational institutions and within 500 yards of them.
Ms. Narain is the chairperson of the working group set up by the Food Safety and Standard Authority of India as per the Delhi High Court's directions in 2013. It has given a set of guidelines for regulating consumption of HFSS food among children.
"Schools are not the right place for promoting HFSS foods. Benefits of balanced, fresh and traditional food cannot be replaced. Frequent consumption of food high in salt, sugar and fats and low in other essential macros and micronutrients is detrimental and should be avoided. Children are not the best judge of their food choice. They have limited understanding about the impact of food on their health. Broadly, they are not aware about the concept of balanced diet and what kind of food is to be consumed and avoided to achieve it," Ms. Narain added.
She also said cricketers, Bollywood actors and other celebrities should avoid endorsing junk food.
"Advertisement of HFSS food targeted on children and adolescents should not be allowed to be broadcast on television and radio from 4 p.m. to 10 p.m. on weekdays and from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. on weekends and holidays."
Dietary recommendations in schools are whole wheat roti/poori with seasonal vegetable, multi-whole grain roti/poori with seasonal vegetable, rice and dal, vegetable pulao, rice and black chana, sweet dalia, rice and white chana, idli, vada, sambar, kheer and milk products like curd, buttermilk and lassi.
While Ms. Narain had six paediatricians and nutritionists working as members of the working group, representatives of industry associations submitted a document titled "Guidelines on Wholesome Food and Nutrition for School Canteen" to the expert group on January 16, 2013.
In 2010, a public interest litigation was filed by the Uday Foundation, a Delhi-based non-profit organisation seeking a ban on junk food sold in schools, regulations on junk food promotion and advertisement and development of school canteen policy.

Ship aground off Italy; 3 dead, 70 unaccounted for
PORTO SANTO STEFANO, Italy A coast guard official says that 70 people unaccounted for after a cruise ship ran aground off the coast of Tuscany might be "in the belly of the ship."
Capt. Cosimo Nicastro said Saturday divers are helping carry out a risky operation to inspect the submerged half of the Costa Concordia in case anyone remained trapped inside.
Nicastro tells Sky TG24 TV there are no firm indications that any one was trapped. But he notes rescuers carried out an extensive search of the waters near the ship for hours and "we would have seen bodies."
He says "the place where they might be is in the belly of the ship."
Three bodies were recovered after the cruise ship with more than 4,200 people aboard ran aground off the tiny island of Giglio late Friday.
THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. Check back soon for further information. AP's earlier story is below.
PORTO SANTO STEFANO, Italy (AP) - Survivors from a luxury cruise ship that ran aground and tipped over, leaving at least three dead and 69 people still unaccounted for, described Saturday a chaotic evacuation, as plates and glasses crashed and they crawled along upended hallways trying to reach safety.
Three bodies were recovered from the sea after the Costa Concordia ran aground off the tiny island of Giglio near the coast of Tuscany late Friday, tearing a 160-foot (50-meter) gash in its hull and sending in a rush of water.
The ANSA news agency quoting the prefect's office in the province of Grosseto as saying that authorities have accounted for 4,165 of the 4,234 people who had boarded the liner.
By morning Saturday, the ship was lying virtually flat off Gigio's coast, its starboard side submerged in the water and the huge gash showing clearly on its upturned hull.
Passengers described a scene reminiscent of "Titanic", complaining the crew failed to give instructions on how to evacuate and once the emergency became clear, delayed lowering the lifeboats until the ship was listing too heavily for many of them to be released.
Helicopters plucked to safety some people who were trapped on the ship, some survivors were rescued by boats in the area, and witnesses said some people jumped from the ship into the dark, cold sea. Coast guard rescuers were continuing to search the ship for passengers.
Authorities still hadn't counted all the survivors by the time they reached mainland 12 hours later.
The evacuation drill was only scheduled for Saturday afternoon, even though some passengers had already been on board for several days.
"It was so unorganized, our evacuation drill was scheduled for 5 p.m.," said Melissa Goduti, 28, of Wallingford, Connecticut, who had set out on the cruise of the Mediterranean hours earlier. "We had joked 'What if something had happened today?'"
"Have you seen 'Titanic?' That's exactly what it was," said Valerie Ananias, 31, a schoolteacher from Los Angeles who was traveling with her sister and parents on the first of two cruises around the Mediterranean. They all bore dark red bruises on their knees from the desperate crawl they endured along nearly vertical hallways and stairwells, trying to reach rescue boats.

Boston Public Library
The Boston Public Library was completed in 1895 and is a large, impressive structure. The building was designed in the Italian Renaissance style by Charles Follen McKim. The building is a National Historic andmark and has beautiful ceilings, artwork and architectural designs.
Boston Public Library
For someone who spent 6 years studying English literature, visiting the Boston Public Library was almost like walking into a sacred temple! But even if you don't care about books as much as I do, you'll still enjoy visiting the BPL, if only for its amazing architecture. Founded in 1848, the BPL was America's first public library, and it still remains the largest in the country today. Some of the greatest American artists of the 19th century contributed through their paintings or sculptures to making the library one of the finest buildings in Boston.
Admission is free so you should really take a few minutes to roam around the library, snap a few pictures, and visit the temporary exhibits (we caught a great one on Champlain's America, in which I learned that my hometown was originally identified on maps as "Matane's boobies" ?!?). The Boston Public Library is open from 9:00 am to 9:00 pm from Monday to Thursday, and from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm on Friday and Saturday.

The Boston Public Library
Rarely is the local public library a worthy must-see experiences but Boston is home to one those few urban wonders. The Boston Public Library was built in 1852 in the manner of an Italian Renaissance palazzi and for this reason it compliments the two nearby churches. The facade is striking however it is only a small indicator of the wonders inside of this building. Upon entering you come across a magnificent staircase that leads you to second floor. The staircase is flanked by very fine murals painted by Pierre Puvis de Chavannes. The murals depict the four great expressions of humanity, poetry, history, philosophy and science. The staircase ends at one of the great rooms in Boston, the Bates Hall Reading Hall. This is a reference library reading room and features a stunning barrel vaulted 50 foot high ceiling. I was thinking that it must be difficult to study in such amazing surroundings without looking up at the ceiling. From here you can take another stairwell up to the third floor. Here there are more murals, this time by John Singer Sargent, one of my favourite American painters. The murals are fascinating and depicting themes from Judaism and Christianity. Beyond this main building is a large cloister also resembling a Renaissance structure. This cloister leads you to the Johnson Building which is the actual "library" here where you can withdraw books. It serves as the headquarters of the Boston Library system.
Beyond the artworks and architecture, the Boston Public Library also has a merited collection of historical documents and rare books. During my visit there was interesting touring exhibition about Alexandre Vattemare, who created the first exchange between libraries and museums.
Admission is free to the Boston Public Library. It is open from 9am to 9pm from Monday to Thursday, 9am to 5pm on Friday and Saturday and from 1pm to 5pm on Sundays.

Boston Public Library
For more than 150 years, the Boston Public Library has pioneered public library service in America with revolutionary ideas and famous firsts. Established in 1848, the BPL was the first publicly supported municipal library in America, the first public library to lend a book, the first to have a branch library and the first to have a children's room.

Boston Public Library
On the other side of Copley Square are two more Boston landmarks. The first is the beautiful Italian-Renaissance palazzo style Boston Public Library, which is adorned with sculptures and inscriptions. The interior is no less spectacular, in fact it far exceeds the facade in impressiveness, with a grand staircase. Further within is the inner courtyard, with its arcades and statuary, resembling the cloister of a medieval monastery. Across Bolyston Street from the library is the confusingly named New Old South Church. When the congregation of the Old South Meetinghouse downtown moved here in the mid 19th century, the parish kept its name, becoming the New Old South. The soaring gothic revival church is wonderfully adorned. The interior is nice as well.
Boston Public Library
Boston is home to many "first"s, and the Boston Public Library is no exception. The first public library in America, the BPL occupies an elegant building in the heart of Boston. The main building facing Copley Plaza was designed by Charles McKim and is noted for its perfect proportions and classical elegance. The facade boasts graceful arched windows, magnificent carvings, and a row of graceful wrought-iron lanterns. The two statues on both sides of the entrance, sculpted by Boston artist Bela Pratt, represent Art and Science.
Enter, and you're in the main entrance hall, of Roman motif. The vaulted ceiling, covered in marble mosaic, is inscribed with the names of 30 famous Bostonians. The white marble floor leads to the magnificent main staircase. Most sriking is its surface. The walls are made of "richly variegated yellow Siena marble" and the steps are made from "ivory gray Echaillon mottled with fossil shells". Two great lions, reclined on pedestals, are the work of Louis St. Gaudens and dedicated to the Massachusetts 2nd and 20th Volunteer Infantry Regiments which fought in the Civil War.
But the best is yet to come. The BPL is known for its decorated galleries and lobbies. The most spectacular is the Sargent Gallery, named after the famous American painter John Singer Sargent, who spent years decorating it. The splendid mural sequence depicts "Judaism and Christianity".
The McKim building contains an unexpected delight. At the top of the Main Staircase, visitors can look down upon the wide, airy inner courtyard. The other 3 sides of the courtyard are enclosed by an arcade which is a copy of the arcade of the Cancelleria Palace in Rome. In the center of the courtyard is a clear pool with waterfountains surrounding a bronze statue, "Bacchante and Infant Faun", by Frederick MacMonnies.

Boston Public Library
Like a visit to an art gallery. The Boston Public Library was founded in 1848 as America's first major free municipal library. Its current location in Copley Square is composed of two interconnected structures: the building designed by Charles Follen McKim and completed in 1895, and the Philip Johnson-designed building added in 1972. (Johnson is the same architect who designed the Amon Carter Museum in Fort Worth, Texas.) The McKim Building is used to store the library's research materials, and is kept open to the public both as a historical site and a functioning research library.

Reports by LOURDES CHARLES, TEH ENG HOCK, NG CHENG YEE, CHRISTINA TAN, LESTER KONG, YUEN MEIKENG, RASHITHA A.
KUALA LUMPUR: Two Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) investigating officers who met Ahmad Sarbani Mohamed have been suspended for not adhering to instructions when handling witnesses or visitors at the MACC's premises.
They were suspended with immediate effect to facilitate an internal inquiry over why they failed to ensure the Selangor Customs assistant director's safety.
The 56-year-old was found dead on the badminton court of the building on Wednesday.
He had been released on bail two days earlier after being detained to help in the commission's probe into a money laundering and tax evasion ring worth billions.
Apparently, one of them had met Ahmad Sarbani at the lobby while the other met him on the third floor of the five-storey building. Both left him unattended.
MACC director of investigations Datuk Mustafar Ali confirmed the suspension but declined to elaborate.
Following the Teoh Beng Hock case, the MACC had instructed its offices nationwide to ensure all witnesses, suspects and those who had dealings with the MACC be attended to at all times and ensure they were safe.
Teoh was found dead on the fifth floor of the Shah Alam MACC office after an all-night questioning on July 15, 2009.
The commission had taken the necessary precautions since then.
The five-storey building at Jalan Cochrane, which was opened five months ago, was equipped with CCTVs but not at the windows or outside the premises.
Several MACC offices are leased from other government departments and only a few belong to the commission.
A statement from MACC said the findings of the internal inquiry would be submitted to a five-member complaints panel headed by Datuk Mohamed Nor Abdullah.
Customs assistant director- general for enforcement Datuk Matrang Suhaili said it would leave the matter to the police.
"We are all saddened by this tragic incident," he said at Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia Medical Centre, where a post-mortem was conducted on Ahmad Sarbani yesterday.

Avg Rating: 3.4 ( 11 votes )
When you have a flow as smooth as a hot knife through butter, like Nitty Scott, MC, you should expect to be in high demand. While this status is undeniably a blessing, the curse comes in the form of having to travel everywhere and constantly. Judging by the message in her new video for Planes, Trains, and Automobiles, Nitty is no stranger to the tour life grind. As the piano heavy, Jet Life-produced beat floats under Nitty's rhymes, the visuals, directed by Luke Wilson and Alexander Akande, school us on the trials and tribulations of being on tour. Sometimes rap life isn't so glamorous, huh? You can find Planes, Trains, and Automobiles on the Brooklyn native's Boombox Diaries Vol. 1 EP, which is available for purchase via iTunes and stream-able here at DJBooth.

There have been 329 post-conviction DNA exonerations in the United States.
• The first DNA exoneration took place in 1989. Exonerations have been won in 37 states; since 2000, there have been 262 exonerations.
• 20 of the 329 people exonerated through DNA served time on death row. Another 16 were charged with capital crimes but not sentenced to death.
• The average length of time served by exonerees is 14 years. The total number of years served is approximately 4,505.
• The average age of exonerees at the time of their wrongful convictions was 26.5.
Races of the 329 exonerees:
205 African Americans
98 Caucasians
24 Latinos
2 Asian American
• The true suspects and/or perpetrators have been identified in 161 of the DNA exoneration cases.
• Since 1989, there have been tens of thousands of cases where prime suspects were identified and pursued—until DNA testing (prior to conviction) proved that they were wrongly accused.
• In more than 25 percent of cases in a National Institute of Justice study, suspects were excluded once DNA testing was conducted during the criminal investigation (the study, conducted in 1995, included 10,060 cases where testing was performed by FBI labs).
• 71 percent of the people exonerated through DNA testing have been financially compensated. 30 states, the federal government, and the District of Columbia have passed laws to compensate people who were wrongfully incarcerated. Awards under these statutes vary from state to state.
• An Innocence Project review of our closed cases from 2004 - 2010 revealed that 22 percent of cases were closed because of lost or destroyed evidence.
• The Innocence Project was involved in 176 of the 329 DNA exonerations. Others were helped by Innocence Network organizations, private attorneys and by pro se defendants in a few instances.
• 31 of the DNA exonerees pled guilty to crimes they did not commit.
Leading Causes of Wrongful Convictions
These DNA exoneration cases have provided irrefutable proof that wrongful convictions are not isolated or rare events, but arise from systemic defects that can be precisely identified and addressed. For more than 15 years, the Innocence Project has worked to pinpoint these trends. Many wrongful convictions overturned with DNA testing involve multiple causes.
Eyewitness Misidentification Testimony was a factor in 72 percent percent of post-conviction DNA exoneration cases in the U.S., making it the leading cause of these wrongful convictions. At least 40 percent of these eyewitness identifications involved a cross racial identification (race data is currently only available on the victim, not for non-victim eyewitnesses). Studies have shown that people are less able to recognize faces of a different race than their own. These suggested reforms are embraced by leading criminal justice organizations and have been adopted in the states of New Jersey and North Carolina, large cities like Minneapolis and Seattle, and many smaller jurisdictions. Read more.
Unvalidated or Improper Forensic Science played a role in 47 percent of wrongful convictions later overturned by DNA testing. While DNA testing was developed through extensive scientific research at top academic centers, many other forensic techniques – such as hair microscopy, bite mark comparisons, firearm tool mark analysis and shoe print comparisons – have never been subjected to rigorous scientific evaluation. Meanwhile, forensics techniques that have been properly validated – such as serology, commonly known as blood typing – are sometimes improperly conducted or inaccurately conveyed in trial testimony. In other wrongful conviction cases, forensic scientists have engaged in misconduct. Read more.
False confessions and incriminating statements lead to wrongful convictions in approximately 28 percent of cases. Looking at only the homicide cases, false confessions are the leading contributing factor - contributing to 71 (63%) of the 113 homicide cases among the DNA exonerations. Thirty-one of the DNA exonerees pled guilty to crimes they did not commit. The Innocence Project encourages police departments to electronically record all custodial interrogations in their entirety in order to prevent coercion and to provide an accurate record of the proceedings.
Informants contributed to wrongful convictions in 15 percent of cases. Whenever informant testimony is used, the Innocence Project recommends that the judge instruct the jury that most informant testimony is unreliable as it may be offered in return for deals, special treatment, or the dropping of charges. Prosecutors should also reveal any incentive the informant might receive, and all communication between prosecutors and informants should be recorded. Read more.
Join with the 65,000 people who are committed to helping free the innocent.

Woody - Flight
Artist: Woody
Producer: Woody
Album: Limes (Instrumentals)
Avg Rating: 3.4 ( 5 votes )
Though Woody's forthcoming beat tape takes its name from a certain member of the citrus family, listeners shouldn't get it twisted—the Harlem-based artist and producer hasn't restricted himself to a single musical "flavor" for the DJBooth-sponsored project. The second and final Booth-featured song release off the set, Flight bears little in common with the reader-approved Fell save for the beatsmith's trademark freshness and creativity. Where its predecessor relied more on atmosphere and texture than melody and harmony, this instrumental, centered around a sun-kissed string/piano groove which subtly shifts shape as the record progresses, is soulfully catchy to its core. Now that you've gotten a taste of what Woody has to offer, are you hungry for more LIMES? You'll get what you're craving September 5, when the set arrives on our front page for free streaming and download.

Recent drivers and VT switch
1 Attachment(s)
My configuration is:
- video card: GeForce4 420 Go
- driver version: 1.0-4363
- distribution: Debian
- video bios revision: 04.17.00.59.f6
- processor: mobile AMD Athlon(tm) XP 2000+
- motherboard model: VIA82C686, on a Sony Vaio FR 102 notebook.
The problem: the version 4363 of the driver runs fine, while if I try to upgrade to 4496 or 4620 I'm not able to switch to VT's using Ctrl+Alt+F1,F2,...,F6. In particular, when I switch to a VT, I get a completely black screen. The computer doesn't lookups, and I'm able to switch back to X11 with Ctrl+Alt+F7 without problems.
Using driver 4363 with kernel 2.4.23 was not a problem, but now I'd like to upgrade to 2.6.0, and AFAIK I'm forced to use the 4620 driver. I need to switch from VT to X11 often, so this bug prevents the whole upgrade.
Please, help me, this is a serious problem here.
Thanks, Pasquale

Are you using a framebuffer device for your virtual terminals? I'm taking a shot in the dark here, but the nVidia driver doesn't seem to play well with framebuffers and console switching. If you are, I'd suggest recompiling your kernel and removing framebuffer support alltogether.
No, I'm not using FB, just text mode.
Hey guys, I *NEED* to fix this, any suggestion is welcome!
To fix your problem sell NVidia card and buy ATI.
I tired from problems with cards from this company.

Well gang we're heading deeper and deeper into filler catergory as we head deeper and deeper into Orochimaru's lair in the talkback for the latest episode of...
Japanese Title: "Two Beats, Kabuto's Trap!"
English Title: "Two Heart Beats: Kabuto's Trap"
Naruto and crew ditched the traitor filler girl... uh Sasame as they headed into Orochimaru's lair, hopeful to find Sasame's cousin and Sasuke there. Taking precaution when they came to the old splitting door room, Jiraya stupidly spun a stick for all of them (including the summoned toad Gamakichi) to take different paths on. As Jiraya got himself trapped in a room with some lady demon, Naruto got stuck tryign to get out of a spear trap and through a flood and Sakura was the only one left to reach the main room where Kabuto and Orochimaru lair. Oro gives her the same sort of stares he did last time (all the way back in episode 30) as things look bad for Team 7's Kunochi...
Sakura's in way over her head trying to take on Kabuto and Orochimaru but luckily Naruto will come to try and save the day. But will he get into more then he can handle with Kabuto's deadly trap which involves they're two hearts somehow (and no not in a gay fanfic kind of way either)? Watch and find out.
As per usual people who star in the episode, specifics spoiler marked (along with pictures) for those of you curious.
Spoiler:SASUKE FINDER SQUAD, MARK TWO!
Naruto Uzumaki- (Age: 12, Allegiance: Leaf. Rank: Genin):
Naruto is the main protaginst of this show. The "Number One Hyperactive Ninja"s main goal is to become the greatest hokage the hidden leaf village has ever had and gain the respect of everyone. He's fought some pretty tough opponents in his past (and mastered some pretty powerful jutsu along the way, including the Shadow Clone Jutsu, the Summoning Jutsu, and the Rasengan) but was unable to save his best friend Sasuke from going to Orochimaru. Instead of going on his training though he's tying up some "loose ends" looking for Orochimaru's sound village and trying to help Sasome help find her cousin. Now he's deep knee into Orochimaru's lair and facing off against the deadly Kabuto. Will he be able to get some help from his only other squad mate around...
Sakura Haruno (Age: 12. Allegiance: Leaf. Rank: Genin).
Along with Naruto and Sasuke (before he joined up with Orochimaru) Sakura made up Team 7 being led by Kakashi. She was hurt just as bad with Sasuke's leave as Naruto since despite both of they're best efforts he still was able to leave the village. In order to find him and prove her worth (instead of just doing nothing and let others do things for her) she goes to the Rice Country with Naruto and winds up bonding (some may say inapproriatley) with a girl with similar problems named Sasore. While she's left behind Sakura and the others split up to go into Orochimaru's lair. While she and Naruto have to deal with Kabuto what about the last member of they're group...
Jiraya - (Age: 50, Allegiance: Leaf Village. Rank: Sannin).
One of the three legendary Sannins Jiraya has been training Naruto for quite some time, showing him the Rasengan and the summoning jutsu. And like Naruto he has also failed in helping recover his friend to the powers of the dark side. He's made a promise to train Naruto for his fight against the Atasuki but first has to go on a mission with him and Saukra to Rice Country. Jiraya may be a powerful ninja but his pervertness and his desire to let people know of him are some definite character flaws. Jiraya is still leading the team through Oro's castle but not even his "wise skills" were enough to get him trapped by some women demon. Will he get out or will he fall at the hands of a trap laid out by...
Orochimaru - (Age: 50. Allegiance: Sound Village. Rank: Sannin).
So far the big villain of the series, Orochimaru has been nothing but problem for our leafe shinobi, interrupting the Chunin Exams by invading Konoha killing quite a few ninja (including the third Hokage), trying to heal his jutsu-less cursed arms by tricking Tsunade, and then convincing Sasuke to join up with him for greater power. Now with Saskue in Oro's clutches, Orochimaru is going to have to deal with those who want to get him back. And to help him do that there's also...
Kabuto Yakushi - (Age: 18. Allegiance: Sound Village. Rank: Somewhere between a Jonin and a Sannin).
Orochimaru's right hand man, Kabuto also betrayed the leaf village for Orochimaru and served to gather information to give his master. Kabuto has helped Orochimaru from setting whole crowds to sleep to beating up on Tsunade, and was the first to expierence the power of Naruto's Rasengan. Kabuto's back though and this time he's not going to give up just because of a hole in his stomach, espically with a new heartening technique he's going to try unleashing on Naruto. You're going to have to see what is to BELIEVE IT though.
Sasame (Girl looking for her cousin in Orochimaru's lair)
Gamakichi (Jiraya's frog summon)
Arashi (Sasame's cousin)
Kamikiri, and Jigumo (Henchmen of Orochimaru. What are they doing here? Read and find out...
Well as Filler there is nothing here that you really need to hush about too much. Just don't spoil canon stuff and try to keep it on the topic of the episode at hand though, okay?
NOTE ONE: This is the current Toonami Schedule guaranteed to last... well we hope awhile. I guess it's better to hope for 4 hour toonami again though that seems to be too big a dream nowadays. Oh also I'm going to point out what on Toonami is filler and what canon (not filler) so you can know what to "groan" at.
9:00PM: Naruto (New Rice Field Country/Infiltrating Orochimaru's Lair Arc, Filler)
9:30PM: Naruto (New Rice Field Country/Infiltrating Orochimaru's Lair Arc, Filler)
10:00PM: One Piece (New Skypiea Arc Episode, Canon)
10:30PM: Dragonball Z (Cell Games Saga Repeat Episode, Canon)
Well that's it. Enjoy Everyone!
Man now I"m up to 7,000+ posts. Hard to believe it took me 8 something years to get that many. How long will it take me to get another thousand? Guess you're going to have to keep reading what I have to say to find out.... I hope you've been doing that anyway as I feed off the attention.
A disclaimer!?
Oh lord.... It seems the Soccer moms or FCC discovered Naruto.
I'm just some immature 17 year old that likes making stupid videos, and Dragonball Z.

Kim Kardashian is reportedly furious that her boyfriend Kanye West is planning to go on an international tour to promote his upcoming album straight after the telly star gives birth.
Kanye's as yet untitled new record has an expected release date of June 18, after the star tweeted a crytpic message with the date last month. And to promote his new music Kanye will reportedly be "launching a worldwide tour later this fall, early next year," according to an insider speaking to Radar Online.
"Kim is giving birth in July, and the baby will only be a few months old when Kanye goes out on the road," the source close to the family added.
Kim Kardashian 'Furious As Kanye West Reveals Tour Plans Following Baby's Birth'
More trouble in paradise? Kim Kardashian is said to be upset with Kanye's work schedule (Splash News)
It seems Kim isn't happy with Kanye's career decision, especially as she wants to remain close to home and her family straight after the birth:
"Needless to say, Kim is very unhappy that Kanye won't be around as much because of his work. Even if she flew on a private jet with the baby to see Kanye, it would be impossible for mother and baby to be on the road with him. Kim wants to breast feed for at least the first six months."
"The baby needs to be on a schedule, and that is hard when crossing time lines."
It doesn't help that Kim is meant to be in LA over the winter to shoot the new series of Keeping Up With The Kardashians: "Kim just feels like she can't win. She feels that both of their work schedules are going to prevent them from spending quality time together after the baby is born," the insider revealed.
Whether Kanye is actually planning his worldwide trip or not, Kim DOES have one celeb cheerleader in the form of our very own Cheryl Cole who sent a sweet tweet to the mum-to-be this afternoon!

Hey all, im thinking about making a uv source for gumoil printing. I was wondering if you would show me your designs so i can get some design ideas for my future one!
You can see mine here:
thread. Post #8.
With the printing industry going digital, you might find a plate burner to be a cheaper and better option. I debated making a light source and ultimately decided a Nuarc 26-1k would be better for a few reasons:
Cost: If you look around you can find them in good/excellent condition in the $200-$400 range
Dodging/Burning: Because the light source is well above the image, it is very easy to do dodging and burning. This is far more difficult in the small self contained units.
Vacuum Easel: This provides excellent registration and saved me the expense of buying a contact printing frame. In fact, the cost of a good CPF nearly pays for the machine. The size of the vacuum mat is 22"x26" and there's probably a useable protion of nearly the full size.
Replacement Parts: Still avaliable new and used.
The only downside is it's not really portable.
Just a suggestion-Peter
I also use a NuArc 26 1K, similar to, but not as up to date as the units offered by Amergraph:
The vacuum easel is the bomb, as is the integrator. Perfect repeatable exposures, every time.
When I get some ahead, I'll update to the Amergraph.
How could I forget the light integrator! With all of the other variables, it's nice to know the amount of light hitting the paper isn't one of them.
My prototype that became the finished product....for now....here
My UV lamp is a watercooled mercury arc (1000 watts) placed about 30 inches from the vacuum print frame. It's a surplus lightsource from a picture tube factory. This pic shows the print frame (made from hardrock maple) for 8x20. I have another frame that's 14x17 out of aluminum. .
i use an old siemens sunlamp i found in my parent's basement. looks like this:
i probably should get an upgrade, but it works. fine for me up to 30x40cm (haven't tried anything larger yet).
exposure for 24x30cm gumprints at 30cm distance is around 6minutes.
I took a course at a local museum in printmaking and copied the design of the small portable box they use. It's a "facial tanning lamp" available on Ebay for about $25, mounted to so as to have the bulbs about 5 inches away from the surface on which it is placed. A sheet of plate glass, a timer and away you go. The current times for me, using K73 plates for gravure printing is about 40 seconds with the positive and another 40-60 seconds with a stochastic screen. Light, simple and cheap. I'm limited in size - pretty much to the dimensions of the tanning unit at this point (10 by 12?) but that's all I really need. Replacement bulbs are readily available and the unit comes all wired and ready. Plug and play, as they say.

Annie Penn Hospital's Birthing Center Sees Its Final Baby
By Miranda Baines, The Reidsville Review, N.C.
Jun. 27–Dr. John Ferguson delivered the last baby at Annie Penn Hospital at 5:22 p.m. Wednesday. Chasity Abbott of Pelham gave birth to a 7-pound, 2-ounce baby girl, Tatiyana Chasity Abbott.
"The delivery went great. The mother was wonderful," said Ferguson. Chasity said she didn't know she would be the last woman to give birth to a baby at Annie Penn until she arrived at the hospital around 8 a.m. Wednesday.
"She came quicker than I thought she would. She was due July 9," said Chasity.
Chasity and her husband Artemas Abbott have two sons — Artemas Abbott Jr., 6, and Marcellus Abbott, 5. The couple doesn't plan to have more children.
"My mind was made up when I found out about her. No more," said Chasity.
Annie Penn Hospital will no longer deliver babies. Expectant mothers living in Reidsville can now go to The Women's Hospital of Greensboro to have their babies. Annie Penn and Women's Hospital are part of the Moses Cone Health System. Reidsville mothers also have the option of having their babies in the birthing center at Morehead Memorial Hospital in Eden.
Annie Penn Hospital held a closing ceremony Wednesday to commemorate the closing of its birthing center. The hospital honored Edmund Penn Seay, who was the first baby born at Annie Penn. Seay was born May 11, 1930.
"They were having the grand opening day. It was Mother's Day," said Seay. He was the only one of three brothers to be born in the hospital. In those days, babies were often delivered at home by a midwife or sometimes a doctor.
Before Annie Penn was built in 1930, Rockingham County residents traveled to Greensboro or Danville, Va. for a hospital, Seay recalls. He said Annie Penn looks nothing like it did back in those days.
"It's no resemblance. It's changed completely," he said.
Some other things have changed since Seay's date of birth, including a mother and baby's length of stay in the hospital — and the bill . Seay said his mother stayed in the hospital for seven days, and the bill for the entire stay was $50. Nowadays, the average hospital stay for a birth is two days, according to Annie Penn Hospital officials.
Ferguson has been delivering babies at Annie Penn since 1987. He said the Annie Penn Birthing Center has averaged 370 to 400 births annually since 1990.
"I've had an opportunity to be a cheerleader for a lot of ladies," said Ferguson.
"A lot of people liked the idea that they were still going to be able to deliver here," said Ferguson. "Everybody due in the month of June has come in and delivered. That's kind of neat that it worked out that way."
While Wednesday marked the end of an era in patient care at Annie Penn, it marks the beginning of another era of high-quality care — at Women's Hospital, said Ferguson. He said the doctors and midwives at his practice — Family Tree Obstetrics & Gynecology — will work with the teaching service at Women's Hospital to provide the highest level of care. Either a doctor or a midwife from Family Tree will spend time at Women's Hospital, said Ferguson.
"We're going to continue to try to serve people to make their life as convenient as possible," he said.
Sharon Troxler, director of marketing and volunteer services for Annie Penn, said the hospital will continue to offer pre-natal and childbirth classes. She also said the hospital's emergency department staff will be prepared to deliver a baby if the mother can't make it to Women's Hospital. Troxler said a reason for closing Annie Penn's birthing center was the lack of adequate resources. She said the birthing center at Women's Hospital has more resources for patient care, including a 24-hour intensive care nursery.
"We are encouraging all our patients, present and future, to tour Women's Hospital so they can become familiar with the new hospital," said Ferguson. He said Women's Hospital offers tours at 7:30 p.m. each Thursday and at 4 p.m. the second Sunday of July and August (July 13 and Aug. 10). Childbirth classes are also available at Women's Hospital. To check the schedule of classes, visit http://www.mosescone.com. For other inquiries about Women's Hospital, call (336) 832-8000.

Navistar Defense of West Point got another huge delivery order Thursday from the United States Marine Corps Systems Command, which is helping workers there maintain there jobs and is boosting the economy of West Point.
Navistar received a $183 million delivery order for 250 International┬« MaxxPro┬« Dash ambulances with DXMŌäó independent suspension, which is being included in NavistarŌĆÖs existing indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity contract for Mine Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) vehicles. This order is NavistarŌĆÖs ninth major MRAP variant.
Production will take place at NavistarŌĆÖs West Point location, and production is expected to be completed by the end of September.
Archie Massicotte, president of Navistar Defense, said the MaxxPro® Dash ambulances were designed to give emergency officials the best protection while on their military missions.
ŌĆ£Survivability and mobility continue to be key capabilities required to help our war fighters complete their missions safely,ŌĆØ Massicotte said. ŌĆ£Medics face the same threats on the battlefield and we are proud to provide them with a vehicle that offers both MRAP level protection and independent suspension for off-road mobility.ŌĆØ
The Dash ambulances created by Navistar were first revealed during the U.S. Army Meeting and Exposition last October as a retrofit kit alternative for existing MaxxPro variants. Medics and patients inside the ambulances will benefit from protected work space and a litter assist system that is simple to use. Together with NavistarŌĆÖs DXM independent suspension, medical aids came journey across rugged terrain more easily to complete their missions. More than 8,000 MaxxPro vehicles are currently supported by Navistar.
ŌĆ£All our MaxxPro units share commonality and this allows us to respond rapidly to changing mission needs with vehicle enhancements and fleet support,ŌĆØ said Massicotte. ŌĆ£This flexibility extends across our other vehicle fleets and is just one piece of a business strategy that moves us steadily toward our goal revenue base of $2 billion.ŌĆØ
Last week, the company also receive a delivery order placed by the Marine Corps Systems Command for $13 million for MRAP field service representatives, instructors and mechanics. This order will also fall under the existing MRAP contract. Production for this order will be done in Kuwait.
