CA to OK on an F650GS

Day 3: 525 miles
A gorgeous sunrise briefly before it hides behind the clouds for most of the morning. I got on highway 390 and headed east through Billy the Kid's stomping ground. I stopped to add a layer and turned the grips on high before climbing into a warmer area.
Roswell, NM didn't seem to have too much alien decoration until you get to main street then it's everywhere. I saw a bunch of the carved wooden alien statues at businesses everywhere. This place had creepy music playing outside from the speaker in the window.
I stopped for gas and hung my helmet from the passenger peg. I got back around the bike and the helmet was hanging low enough to touch the ground and roll off. There's a big scratch right in the middle of my dark visor. Grrr
I knew the Red Bull Stratos landing was east here somewhere. I passed some bluffs that looked like the ones from the video and in the right place. I looked it up and it was just south of there. Stopped for a break a little while later near where the capsule landed.
I ride into west Texas and notice a lot of cotton fields. Several people have windmills but none of the ones I saw actually had a pump connected (just decorative). The wind is blowing from the south and but I'm not getting blown around much.
I see a "circus today" sign in Brownfield, TX and circle around the block for a picture. A minivan drives by slow and does a u-turn to pull up beside me. "Excuse me but do you know when circus will be", says the little old lady. I guess I look like I belong with the circus. I politely said that I was passing through and didn't know but it looks like they are mostly setup.
I pulled up to fill up in Lubbock, TX next to a retired guy in a motorhome. I finish fueling up and he's still going. "That still filling up?", I asked. He chuckles and we start talking. He asks where I'm going and coming from. I tell him I started in CA day before yesterday and going to be in Tulsa tomorrow. We talk a little more and wish each other a safe journey.
A couple more hours of Texas then cross the Red River into Oklahoma. I pull into Altus, OK and find a motel on the south east side of town. I'm unloading my gear while a tall skinny guy with a handlebar mustache and a pony tail watched me intently. He finally walks over and asks, "Do you actually take it offroad or is it an expensive dirtbike?". I explained that I just got it but have found some gravel roads already. He told me about a month long trip to Florida he took on a Harley a few years ago and about some other bikes.
I went down the street to Pizza Hut and got a salad and a sandwich, came back to the motel, took a shower and crawled into bed.

Tablet. Hotels for Global Nomads
Travel Better.
Hôtel Lancaster
7, rue de Berri, Paris, France
Neighborhood: 8th Arr. (Champs-Elysées/Madeleine)
Check availability as rates may vary for dates. Best rate guaranteed.
In general if it's classic Parisian pomp you're after, you're headed to one of the big luxury hotels. This town has no shortage of them, and they're among the most opulent in the Western world. The boutique hotels tend to be more contemporary, often a bit minimalist — but one boutique in particular can out-classic the classics, and that's the Hotel Lancaster.
When the Lancaster opened its doors the phrase "boutique hotel" hadn't yet been invented — but that's more or less what it's always been. Back in the Emile Wolf days it was the sort of place you'd catch the likes of Grace Kelly or Noël Coward haunting its halls. Today, under the direction of the Spanish Hospes group, it's scarcely lost any of its glamour. In spite of a location just off the Champs-Elysées, the Lancaster is quiet, the way a classic hotel ought to be. Rooms are stocked with antiques, many of them collected by the original owner, and the marble bathrooms are decked out in a well-preserved Art Deco style.
The service is impeccable, erring more on the side of quiet discretion than overt solicitousness. La Table du Lancaster is the hotel's Michelin-starred restaurant, and the Thirties-inspired salon is an elegant step up from the typical hotel bar. Most magical, however, is the Lancaster's little garden, a rare bit of private outdoor peace in the heart of bustling Paris.

PADRES: Hitters are Happ-less in shutout loss to Astros
Nick Vincent, a former Ramona High and Palomar College standout, bailed Wells out of a bases-loaded, one-out situation in the fifth inning, striking out Justin Maxwell and getting Brian Bogusevic to ground out to second. Vincent pitched a scoreless sixth inning before being lifted for a pinch-hitter.
It was Vincent's first career appearance at Petco Park after four relief stints on the road.
Houston loaded the bases again in the eighth against left-hander Alex Hinshaw, but Dale Thayer came in to clean up the mess, getting the final two outs of the inning on a strikeout and a fly ball to center.
Happ (7-9) finished with 6 1/3 scoreless innings. Closer Brett Myers overpowered the Padres in the ninth to earn his 19th save.

Every time Beckman pitcher James Kaprielian goes to the mound, you get the feeling he has a chance to pitch a no-hitter.
Even though I had another assignment Tuesday, I was thinking he could pitch one vs. University in a key Pacific Coast League game.
Kaprielian did just that adding another incredible accomplishment to his remarkable career.
Damian Calhoun covered the game for the Register and has a full report of the game.
In his last three starts, Kaprielian has allowed just one hit and pitched two no-hitters.
Yet he continues to take his success in stride, and that's commendable in light of what he's accomplished.
Nobody should be surprised if Kaprielian pitches another no-hitter or his first perfect game before his high school career ends.
You have to wonder what's going through the mind of UCLA baseball coach John Savage, who signed Kaprielian to a letter of intent last year.
Kaprielian is going to be offered a bunch of money to sign professionally, and we're guessing that's the direction he's headed.
For the record, Kaprielian said he will weigh the offers and decide after the season whether to play at UCLA or enter the pro draft.
It's not often that a pitcher throws two no-hitters in one season, and remember, Kaprielian only allowed one hit last week against Northwood.
So here is a look back at the game stories from his previous two games:
---Kaprielian throws a no-hitter against Woodbridge.
---Kaprielian throws a one-hitter against Northwood.
Kaprielian is undoubtedly the talk of the town, at least among baseball followers. Even in our newsroom, people are asking me if there has ever been a better pitcher in this city.

Gear Question
which side do you put up and which do you...
which side do you put up and which do you put on the ground?
Phil Maher
The polyurethane coated side (shiny side/little red TNF tag) should go up so it doesn't get torn up so much by debris. The foot print will still do its job either way, but this way helps it last longer. Once you get that far, the side that faces down takes care of itself.

Innovations for Open Government: Can Transparency Promote Accountability, Equity, and Economic Inclusion?
Remarks by IMF Director Lagarde at Africa Rising Conference
IMF Director Christine Lagarde gave the keynote speech at the Africa Rising conference in Mozambique on May 29, 2014. She discussed demographic, technological, and environmental challenges to growth, and policy priorities.
What�s Next for the U.S.-Africa Leaders Summit?
The U.S.-Africa Leaders Summit shifted the U.S. perception of how it engages with Africa, but was missing a vital component to success—human rights. Amelia M. Wolf argues that if the Obama administration wants to be "central" to development of Africa, as it has claimed, it must support the development of institutions for justice and the rule of law in collaboration with African states, and now is the perfect opportunity to do so.
Investing in Africa: How the U.S. Can Play Catch-Up
Jendayi Frazer argues that while President Obama's announcement to invest in African economies is significant, it must be supplemented if the U.S. is going to make Africa a strategic point.

Walking to stump up awareness about valley fever wasn't easy for Shane Hoover.
On Saturday morning, the slender blond 26-year-old took a deep, rasping breath and gave a thick cough as he described his three-year struggle with the disease.
Valley fever, which is caused by a fungus that thrives in the soil, has spread through Hoover's body, reaching his brain and throat. He gets intravenous doses of harsh antifungal medication three times a week, he can't work and his doctors have proposed a tracheotomy to ease his breathing.
Hoover had to skip the end of the less than one-mile trek because his legs hurt, but nevertheless, he made it out to Bakersfield's second valley fever awareness walk. He walked with others who are still suffering with the disease, those who have survived it and those who have lost loved ones to it.
"I wouldn't want anybody ever to have valley fever," he said. "It's harsh, it's a battle."
Hoover came out because there isn't much support for the little-known disease, which primarily affects the Southwest, he said. Maybe if there were more supporters, there would be enough cash to develop a vaccine that could benefit his nieces and nephews someday, Hoover said.
The Valley Fever Americas Foundation, which hosted the walk, shares that goal. The foundation donates to valley fever research projects and spreads information about the disease. Volunteers passed out swag bags Saturday and wore hats with slogans encouraging readers to ask them about the illness.
Walk volunteer Elizabeth Mulikin said she has been pushing for more attention to the disease for six years since her sister, Eddie Preller, died from valley fever after two years of suffering.
"She made me promise to learn how to say (the name of the disease), to learn everything about it and fix it. And I have not stopped a day since," Mulikin said.
Teasingly, Hoover prodded Mulikin to pronounce valley fever's tongue-twister of a title, "Coccidioidomycosis." He laughed when she quickly spouted it off.
Though the weather was pleasant and the shade plentiful at the Kern County Museum Saturday morning, about 100 fewer people came out for this year's walk. Nevertheless, Jessica Einstein, the foundation's director of communications, said about 250 people participated and more raffle tickets were sold this year.
Though two-legged turnout was down, more four-legged participants trotted for valley fever. Dalmatians, retrievers, terriers and other canines followed or tugged their owners along the path winding between the museum's historic homes and buildings.
Solid boxer Skywalker fidgeted and chocolate Lab Believe slumped to the pavement as JoAnne Rowles and her sister Margaret Throne, the dogs' respective owners, chatted about the disease and walk.
Rowles said she always thought she'd already had valley fever at some point in her life growing up in Bakersfield. But when she woke up with night sweats and big lumps on her arms one night, she knew for sure she had the disease.
"It just takes all your strength away. I couldn't even go get my nails done, I was too tired," she said.
On Saturday, Rowles was happy to meet experts at treating animal valley fever cases -- the disease can plague dogs, cats and other creatures. She asked one veterinarian to speak to her dog training club about the risk the fungus poses to pets.
"We're out and about with our dogs all the time so you know the chances that you can pick up something while you're out are pretty good," Rowles said.
Physicians were also on hand at the event to answer questions about how the disease affects humans. Dr. Augustine Munoz, director of pulmonary medicine at Kern Medical Center, said we just don't know enough about the disease and why it affects different people to varying degrees.
Valley fever is a problem that demands an "army" of physicians and other allies to deal with it, the doctor said.
"There should be three times as many people here," he said at the walk.

WAKEBOARDING Magazine has in interesting article online about boat wraps, those custom graphic decals that can make your boat or PWC one of a kind, or dress up an aging hull. Like the wraps you now see on cars, trucks, vans, buses, etc, these vinyl makeovers have gotten pretty impressive in recent years, to the point that numerous companies — from boat manufacturers themselves to dealers and the aftermarket — now offer a variety of choices that can customize your ride far beyond the stock paint scheme.
What's a wrap? It's basically a vinyl film, printed with designs and graphics, that can be adhered to your boat's hull to completely hide the colors below. Check out the following video, which shows a wrap being installed on a Supra Launch, to get an idea of the process:
Here's the link to the WAKEBOARDING article on wraps. It answers a lot of questions about the installation, and the durability of the product. It also includes a long list of boat manufacturers that offer current wrap options.
And don't think PWC are too small to get the wrap treatment. Here's another video of a SXR getting a custom wrap. I think you'll agree the end result is pretty impressive.

California senator Ted W. Lieu has called for an investigation into the practice of using meat glue to patch pieces of meat together to make one piece. Officially, it's known as transglutaminase, an enzyme in powder form that brings protein closer together – permanently.
What will be next?
For me the take away from all these "new discoveries" is it seems the foundational belief of big meat packers and Big Ag is this:
How can we do this cheaper first and foremost then we'll look at safety, quality, and all the other parameters.
I am all for reducing costs and making your business profitable. But let me know the ways you accomplish that and let me make the decision as to whether I want to do business with you.
No I'm not talking about supplying your customers with a business plan.
I'm talking about good old fashioned honesty and hey here's an idea; How about putting on the label what you've done to product.
I don't know about you but If I picked up a steak and said it contained transglutaminase you can bet I'd be Googling up what the heck it was and why is it in my steak!
You know it won't say on the label "we glued this piece of meat together."
Don't worry though the U.S. Food and Drug Administration deems it to be safe – "generally."
We don't glue anything together here at Spring Hill Farms. Heck we use baler twine more than anything around here to make several pieces of something into one. You would notice that on your steak...just sayin'
Until next time....

PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) Shoppers won't be lining up for Thanksgiving Day deals at stores in Rhode Island, Maine and Massachusetts. They can't.
It's the legacy of so-called blue laws, which prohibit large supermarkets, big box stores and department stores from opening on Thanksgiving. Some business groups complain, but many shoppers, workers and even retailers say they're satisfied with a one-day reprieve from work and holiday shopping.
Some business groups complain it's an unnecessary barrier during an era of 24-hour online shopping, and there have been some recent failed legislative attempts to change things. But many shoppers, workers and even retailers say they're satisfied with the status quo: a one-day reprieve from work and holiday shopping.
I shop all year. People need to be with their families on Thanksgiving, said Debra Wall, of Pawtucket, R.I., who will remain quite happily at home Thursday, cooking a meal for 10.
The holiday shopping frenzy has crept deeper than ever into Thanksgiving this year. Macy's, J.C. Penney and Staples will open on Thanksgiving for the first time. Toys R Us will open at 5 p.m., and Wal-Mart, already open 24 hours in many locations, will start holiday deals at 6 p.m., two hours earlier than last year. In recent years, some retail employees and their supporters have started online petitions to protest stores that open on Thanksgiving but shoppers keep coming.
Bill Rennie, vice president of the Retailers Association of Massachusetts, said many shoppers are crossing into border states that allow Thanksgiving shopping, including Connecticut, Vermont, New York or New Hampshire, which is even more alluring because it doesn't have a sales tax.
Why not give stores in Massachusetts the option? he said.
The group has backed legislation, which has so far gone nowhere, to roll back the laws and allow stores to open on Thanksgiving and Christmas.
That would include grocery stores, which also must stay closed on the holidays. Woe to the Massachusetts cook who forgets a crucial ingredient or messes up the turkey and is forced to find a replacement at a convenience store.
Convenience stores are allowed to open, as are movie theaters, pharmacies, restaurants and some other businesses.
Blue laws were once widespread throughout the country and are thought to date back to Colonial times, although some of the current regulations in Maine were instituted in the 1960s. The name may be derived from an 18th-century usage of blue meaning rigidly moral, according to the Encyclopedia Brittanica.
Law enforcement officials in all three states said there had been no recent incidents they could recall of retailers breaking the law. In 2005, Massachusetts Attorney General Tom Reilly sent a warning letter to upscale grocery chain Whole Foods after a competitor discovered it was planning to open on Thanksgiving. In Maine, a violation is punishable by up to six months in prison and a $1,000 fine.
But along the New Hampshire border, the Kittery Trading Post in Kittery, Maine, will remain closed, even though it could operate under the same exemption, said vice president Fox Keim. He said giving employees the day off is part of the store's core values.
What's more important to us is keeping our staff happy and keeping morale at the company at a high level, he said.
Associated Press writer Alanna Durkin in Augusta, Maine, contributed to this report.

It reflected gross insensitivity towards rights of the poor
Expressing shock at the Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's instruction to challenge the Karnataka High Court order for payment of minimum wages to the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA) workers, the Mazdoor Kisan Shakti Sangathan has demanded that the government withdraw its SLP the Supreme Court is scheduled to hear on Monday.
MKSS leader and National Advisory Council member Aruna Roy, in a letter to the Prime Minister, expressed her distress and dismay at his instruction to the Ministry of Rural Development to challenge the High Court order, charging that it reflected "gross insensitivity" towards the rights of the poor.
The insistence on delinking MGNREGA and the Minimum Wages Act (MWA) weakened both the legislation and deprived the expected basic protection to the poor, she emphasised.
Cautions PM
Cautioning the Prime Minister that the violation of the MWA by the government would only give a free rope to exploitative industrialists, landlords and private sector employers to pay wilful wages with impunity, she said the government would have lost its moral authority to contest such gross oppression.
She described as lip service the Prime Minister's statement regarding the high incidence of malnutrition among children as a national shame, given his government's assertion of its right not to pay minimum wages to the poorest in the country. Denial of minimum wages is unconstitutional and, worst still, amounted to abdication of duty on the part of the government.
Fear unfounded
The government's fear of State governments increasing minimum wages arbitrarily was unfounded, she maintained, and argued that the issue could be resolved in several ways to safeguard the Centre's financial burden without undermining the rights of the unorganised worker who constituted 93 per cent of the country's workforce.
Ms. Roy urged the government to withdraw the SLP and honour the orders of the Karnataka High Court and Andhra Pradesh High Court.

Session Preview: Oracle Private Cloud at Oracle OpenWorld 2012
As adoption of cloud technologies continues to accelerate, many organizations are, for reasons of security and control, choosing to build their own private clouds. As a result, conference organizers expect an especially high turnout at sessions devoted to Oracle's private cloud products at Oracle OpenWorld 2012 taking place in San Francisco September 30 to October 4.
In addition to many individual sessions covering topics ranging from hardware to management tools, attendees can demo a range of Oracle's private cloud offerings in the Moscone North Upper Lobby.

At this year's conference, dozens of Oracle Cloud customers and partners, including representatives from Dell and Whitehorses, present experiences and best practices.
"I am excited to share how Oracle Enterprise Manager 12

It means no more sleepless nights for administrators deploying databases!" says Krishna Kamal Kapa, systems engineer, Dell, who cochairs the session titled "
Database as a Service with Oracle Enterprise Manager 12
" on October 3 at 11:45 a.m. in Moscone West 3020 (session ID# CON2511).

Appeals for the penalties passed out to the Nextel Cup teams of Kasey Kahne, Elliott Sadler and Scott Riggs before the Daytona 500 were filed on Wednesday by owner Ray Evernham.
Roush Fenway Racing filed an appeal on the penalties against Matt Kenseth's team on Saturday.
Evernham said before Sunday's race he was most concerned about the severity of the penalties, particularly the points deductions, and the damage allegations of cheating have done to the reputation of his organization.

© Copyright 2015 Clayton News Daily
By Justin ReedyEven as Clayton County officials draft their budget for the coming fiscal year, the county continues to struggle with sales tax revenue well below expected levels from the ongoing nationwide recession. County officials say they don't expect to have to raise property taxes this year to overcome the shortfall, but will instead propose a one-percent sales tax increase that could go on the ballot in September. The airline slowdown and general recession after Sept. 11, 2001 hit Clayton County hard, with a decline in sales of concessions and jet fuel at Hartsfield Atlanta International Airport causing a drop in sales tax revenue collected by the county. Clayton County takes in one-sixth of the sales tax collected in the county, or one penny on every dollar spent here, through a local option sales tax, or LOST. During the fiscal year following 9/11, the county had to overcome a $10 million budget shortfall from the sales tax decline, according to Clark Stevens, administrative assistant to the county commission chairman. The county had estimated it would receive about $44 million in sales tax revenue that year, Stevens said, but only took in about $34 million. During this fiscal year, he added, the county is on pace to take in about that same amount n $34 million n and though they had planned for that to happen, that still represents a major drop in revenue from previous years. "We've lost about $20 million from our estimates," Stevens said. "It's been tough on us." County budget writers have been taking that ongoing sales tax revenue shortfall into account, Stevens said, as they prepare the budget for the next fiscal year, which begins July 1. The budget draft, which will be released soon, is expected to include a slight increase over spending from last year's budget, which included expenditures of about $177 million. "We're giving close attention to areas of the budget that have been problematic while still recognizing that revenue is down," said Crandle Bray, chairman of the county commission. "We're trying our best to balance things creatively in a tight budget." The county will likely have to raise the general fund property tax millage rate slightly, Bray said, but will drop the fire department millage somewhat, hopefully causing no net increase in property tax bills of local property owners. The fire department will see a bit of decrease in funding because of that adjustment, Bray said, but with some experienced, high-salaried firefighters retiring in the last few months the department won't suffer from the cuts. Other county departments could see increases in their budgets this year, Bray said, such as the sheriff's department, which has struggled to run the county jail with the number of personnel on staff. "(Sheriff Stanley Tuggle) is cognizant of the fact that money is tight," Bray said. "He's been very cooperative." The police department could also see staff increases as the county's population continues to rise, he said, as will the finance department, which is facing tougher auditing requirements from the state that will require additional personnel. To help the county deal with decreased revenue without having to increase property taxes, Bray said the commission plans on asking voters to approve a one-percent special purpose local option sales tax, or SPLOST, to fund improvements to the county's road system and construction and renovation of public recreation facilities. Such a tax is put in place for a specific amount of time or until it collects a certain amount of money; this proposed SPLOST would last for five years or until $240 million is collected. Voters rejected a one-cent SPLOST last fall that would have funded about $200 million in local road improvements, but Bray thinks the county can be more successful this time around. "The key to this thing is that you've got to communicate with the people," Bray said. "We've got to explain to them we're not trying to build new roads, we're trying to maintain the existing roads. What we have to do is convince people this is mainly maintenance." In addition, Bray hopes to communicate to voters that implementing a penny tax will raise money from people who live out of the county in addition to local residents, since shoppers come to Clayton County from other parts of metro Atlanta. If the SPLOST isn't approved by voters, Bray said, the county will likely have to raise property taxes to pay for road improvements and other projects. "If we don't do a special purpose tax, we'd have to come back and do what we can with the millage," he said.

The head of the International Monetary Fund says the eurozone needs stronger economic growth and bigger financial firewalls to resolve its debt crisis and help prevent a downward global spiral.
Christine Lagarde was speaking in Berlin on Monday after meeting German Chancellor Angela Merkel, who has put austerity at the centre of the eurozone rescue effort and is reluctant to enlarge bailout funds.
According to her prepared text, Ms. Lagarde said that "across-the-board, across-the continent, budgetary cuts will only add to recessionary pressures." She says several countries must tighten finances quickly "but this is not true everywhere."
She also advocates increasing the size of the eurozone's permanent rescue fund, the 500 billion ($650 billion) European Stability Mechanism.

If you could eliminate 4 percent of your debt with one pen stroke, you'd want to do that wouldn't you — especially if it meant removing some redundancy from your expenditures? For example, if you are renting an apartment and it includes free cable Internet access, but you were also paying for DSL through the phone company, you'd quickly cancel your DSL service.
If your debt is typical, a 4 percent reduction would chop $746.16 off your household debt. Not huge, but surely worthy of removing. But if you are the state of New Mexico, a 4 percent savings would be $20 million — which is some real money.
When we are talking about 10 percent across the board cuts in New Mexico to solve the budget shortfall — including schools, being able to save 4 percent in redundancy would mean others only had to have a 6 percent cut. Sounds good. Don't you think our legislators should look at cutting government redundancy when they can?

NORCROSS, Ga. -- Four members of the Birmingham-Southern
men's soccer travel party were injured Saturday when their bus had
a blowout on the right front tire and crashed into a concrete
guardrail on Interstate 85 north of Atlanta.
The bus came to rest on a grassy embankment near an exit ramp to
Jimmy Carter Blvd.
A spokesman for the Gwinnett Medical Center in Lawrenceville
said 24 were taken to the emergency room.
Kyle Brogdon said, "The majority declined to be
examined by physicians. But 12 were evaluated and four were treated
for minor injuries." The school said no one was seriously injured.
The team was returning to Birmingham, Alabama, from the Big
South Conference soccer tournament in High Point, North Carolina.
The accident happened about 9:25 a-m and by late afternoon the
injured were released from the hospital and returned to the Alabama
Birmingham-Southern athletic director Joe Dean Junior said,
"All of us at Birmingham-Southern feel very blessed that
the men's soccer team escaped a potential tragic situation with no
serious injuries this morning. We're extremely thankful for the
excellent job that the driver of the bus, Dexter Card, did,
protecting our team from any further harm."

Anastazia Alvarez was one of the 4-H students coaxing their reluctant goats onto one of the shearing blocks Monday for a close shave in preparation for the 2009 San Miguel-Mora County Fair, which is from today to Saturday.
The Mora Middle School seventh-grader has been showing animals at the fair for the past four years.
"I have mainly raised pigs, rabbits and chickens. This is the second year I raise a goat. The pigs are the easiest to take care of," Alvarez said.
Superintendents from both East and West school districts are pointing out the gains made by their students in statewide ratings released this week.
However, the state Public Education Department's assessment of schools throughout New Mexico isn't quite as rosy.
A total of 568 schools around the state failed to meet the federal standard of adequate yearly progress under a system for assessing schools. That's up from 549 schools that didn't make the standard in 2008.
Natividad "Steve" Roybal, the man recently charged with killing Terrie Greer near Camp Luna by hitting her on the head with a rock, was charged with murder once before.
Roybal was arrested and tried for the 1987 Halloween night murder of Las Vegas resident Rick Gonzales.
According to a police report, Officer Phillip Vigil was dispatched to the Monte Vista apartments about half-past midnight to investigate a shooting. On arrival, he found Gonzales lying on the floor, his head resting on a Domino's pizza box, a bullet hole just below his right eye.
Authorities are charging a man who allegedly knew that a woman had been murdered but waited more than a day to tell the police.
A magistrate judge has signed off on a warrant for Bob Martinez of Las Vegas. Martinez faces charges of tampering with evidence and conspiracy to tamper with evidence.
On Sunday, state police arrested Natividad "Steve" Roybal on charges of an open count of murder, tampering with evidence and resisting officers. The alleged victim was Terrie Greer.
About 50 people came together Sunday to discuss the issue of alleged police misconduct in Las Vegas and to organize a citizens committee to deal with the issue.
Former interim Police Chief William Cruz and San Miguel County Treasurer Alfonso Ortiz were among those present.
Pat Leahan, Lorenzo Flores and Steve Flores, the organizers of the event, spoke briefly of the need for an independent citizens committee. The city is also considering a police oversight commission to handle complaints against officers.
The cases involving the adults in the Robertson High School football assaults case will be transferred to the Taos district attorney's office, an official announced Tuesday.
District Attorney Richard Flores said he had spoken with the Taos district attorney's office and it had agreed to take the cases. It is expected that the Taos DA's office will transfer the cases to its branch office in Raton, to be handled by prosecutor Leslie Fernandez, Flores said.
A Las Vegas man is accused of breaking into a truck at a local motel last week.
Vicente Cervantes, 45, 409 Peggy Lee Lane, was charged with auto burglary and larceny.
According to Magistrate Court documents, Sgt. Martin Salazar went to Super 8 Motel last Wednesday in response to reported auto burglaries. He reviewed a surveillance video and identified two women pictured.
He spoke to some unidentified people who described the car the two women left in, police said.
The Las Vegas Police Department is on track to becoming fully staffed, the chief says.
Last week, Mayor Tony Marquez swore in four new officers to the department — Martin Sandoval, Timothy Leyva, Michael Hurtado and Samuel Hanna.
They are expected to go to the state's law enforcement academy in the fall.
Later this month, Chief Gary Gold plans to put forward four more names to the City Council for approval as officers. He said he has five "solid" applicants, so it'll be tough deciding which one to reject.
District Attorney Richard Flores has excused himself from prosecuting the adults who he alleges failed to promptly notify authorities about attacks during a Robertson High School football camp last year.
His decision was in response to arguments by defense attorneys that he appeared to have conflicts of interest.
Superintendent Richard Romero, Athletic Director Mike Yara, former football coach Ray Woods and two former assistant coaches, Adam Alvarez and Ikaika Neizman, each face a misdemeanor charge of failure to report child abuse or neglect.
A 45-year-old Las Vegas man has been charged with sexual crimes against a small girl.
A child told authorities that the man started molesting her when she was 8, according to a city police report.
The man faces two counts of criminal sexual penetration. He was charged last Monday.

Hillshire Investor Eminence Will Vote Against Pinnacle Deal
May 23 (Bloomberg) -- Hillshire Brands Co. investor Eminence Capital LLC, one of the meat company's 20 largest shareholders, plans to vote against the $4.3 billion deal to acquire Pinnacle Foods Inc.
In buying Pinnacle, Hillshire is paying a high price for a "mediocre set of assets," Eminence Chief Executive Officer Ricky Sandler said in an interview. The transaction has a real possibility of getting voted down by shareholders, he said. Eminence owned more than 1.35 million Hillshire shares as of March 31, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
Hillshire, which sells Jimmy Dean sausages and Ball Park hot dogs, has been making acquisitions to reignite growth and decrease its reliance on meat products. Pinnacle owns brands ranging from Vlasic pickles to Wish-Bone salad dressings, as well as Birds Eye frozen vegetables. The deal may spread Hillshire too thin, Sandler said.
"This is pretty far afield of what their core strengths are," he said. "We don't want to own a portfolio of supermarket assets."
Jon Harris, a spokesman for Chicago-based Hillshire, didn't respond to a request for comment.
Under the terms of the deal, announced May 12, Pinnacle investors will receive $18 in cash and half a share of Hillshire Brands for every Pinnacle share they own. The total price was almost 20 percent higher than Pinnacle's closing price on May 9, the last trading day before the transaction was disclosed. Including debt, the deal is valued at about $6.6 billion.
Debt Load
Hillshire shares dropped as much as 7.4 percent on the day the purchase was announced, partly on concern that it will increase the company's borrowing. After the deal closes, Hillshire will have five times more debt than earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization on a trailing 12-month basis. It also is suspending share repurchases, further irking shareholders.
Hillshire rose 2.2 percent to $37.02 at the close today in New York. The stock is up 4.3 percent over the past 12 months.
The transaction may have been a "defense mechanism" to prevent Hillshire from becoming an acquisition target itself, Sandler said. JPMorgan Chase & Co. had speculated that Hormel Foods Corp., Tyson Foods Inc. and BRF SA saw Hillshire as a potential target.
"I don't think the company explored other alternatives before going down this route," Sandler said. "The deal makes them less attractive to an acquirer."

Pretty simple question .. Are there any predefined functions in Qt which save a QImage object to a JPG/PNG/BMP file ?
This is exactly what you'll need:
Google is your friend, but more so are the Qt docs.
The best way is to use QImageReader/QImageWriter. They provide more ability to work with images in comparison to QImage or QPixmap http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.6/qimagewriter.html http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.6/qimagereader.html
"QImageReader is specialized class which gives you more control when reading images. For example, you can read an image into a specific size by calling setScaledSize(), and you can select a clip rect, effectively loading only parts of an image, by calling setClipRect(). Depending on the underlying support in the image format, this can save memory and speed up loading of images"
"QImageWriter supports setting format specific options, such as the gamma level, compression level and quality, prior to storing the image"

Originally written on Celtics Green ...a boston celtics blog. | Last updated 11/19/14
CelticsSpa has a great interview with the Celtics new center Vitor Faverani. Faverani, whose nickname, El Hombre Indestructible, has to be one of the best in the league, is unknown to most Celtics fans and so this interview is a great way for Celtics fans to get to know him a little. You can check out the whole interview here: Vitor Faverani talks to CelticsSpa. Below are just a couple of excerpts from the interview. He sounds like a good guy. Hopefully he can make a difference for the Celtics. CS: How were the workouts with the Celtics and what were your impressions while you were doing them? VF: Of all the teams I worked out for, Boston was the one that convinced me more of the possibility of playing there. And it was because of the way they treated me. I was used of the way people treat you in Spain: they talk to you, they are kind, they are smiling, they make jokes all the time...and in Boston I felt home right away. They greeted me and from the first moment there is someone in the organization, Austin, that talked to me in Spanish. We were talking for a while and then they treated me as if I was already playing for them. We did the medical check up and I started thinking that it wasn't normal that they were treating me so well. It was unbelievable. ' As for the workout itself it was great. It was very unstressful. There were several coaches watching me practice, but there wasn't any pressure at all in it. I didn't feel like I had to score the ball because they treated me so well that it was impossible to miss a shot, you see? I was joking all the time with one of the coaches about this and they made me feel comfortable and at home all the time. CS: With which player are you more excited to play with next season? VF: To me, the player that I would have loved to play with is Kevin Garnett. His physical abilities and everything what he could do on the court: his shooting, ball handling, jump, playing face to the basket...everything. He is an amazing player. I didn't know that he was about to be traded to Brooklyn when I was working out for the Celtics. I really would have loved to play with him. I wanted to greet him and be with such a legendary player for the Celtics. As for the players that are in the current roster, the one I am trully excited to play with is Rajon Rondo. I can't wait to play with him and build some chemistry with him on the court and play together. [Discuss on CG Forums!]

Brenda Griffin said her phone and social media page had been
''red hot'' since the Otago Daily Times this month
featured the treatment her husband Dave received in Los
The treatment involves injecting etanercept, a drug usually
used for arthritis, in the base of the neck, and turning the
patient upside down for 10 minutes.
Mr Griffin's speech, walking, fatigue, pain levels and
reading have improved.
An Auckland couple recently flew to Dunedin to spend the day
with the Griffins to discuss the treatment, which they hoped
might improve the husband's recovery from stroke.
Their GP and neurologist had advised against it, telling them
to save their money.
However, the couple are going through the process of
attending the LA clinic, which involves a pre-approval
''They met us and realised we are not involved in any big
scam - just genuine people that gave it a go and it helped,
[and] they were a lot more comfortable.''
More recently, Mrs Griffin had also liaised with a couple
from near Christchurch who are in Los Angeles for the
Mrs Griffin referred to a recent English pilot study that
demonstrated etanercept's effectiveness against Alzheimer's
disease, which showed the drug's potential went beyond
The etanercept treatment could potentially be given to stroke
patients in every GP practice, she said.
''It doesn't cure, but it just helps.''
Mrs Griffin said the treatment developer, Dr Edward Tobinick,
was treating patients from all over the world.
Brain Health Research Centre deputy director Associate Prof
John Reynolds was sceptical when contacted yesterday.
Etanercept might offer promise for stroke studies, but as yet
it was not backed by ''solid studies''.
Treatments not backed by clinical studies were potentially
harmful, he believed.
''I know it's the stock answer. I know it's a frustrating
answer, but we've got to be a little careful because you have
