Uniform Crime Reporting Methodology
(The following was excerpted from Crime in the U.S. Appendices I, II, and V. Nonsubstantive adaptations have been made by the JABG Technical Support Center staff.)
The Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program is a nationwide, cooperative statistical effort of over 16,000 city, county, and state law enforcement agencies voluntarily reporting data on crimes brought to their attention. These agencies cover 95% of the nation's population. The information compiled by UCR contributors is forwarded to the FBI either directly from local law enforcement agencies or through state-level UCR programs in 44 states and the District of Columbia. Agencies submitting directly to the FBI are provided continuing guidance and support on an individual basis.
State-level UCR programs are very effective intermediaries between local contributors and the FBI. Many of the programs have mandatory reporting requirements and collect data beyond the national UCR scope to address crime problems germane to their particular locales. In most cases, these agencies are also able to provide more direct and frequent service to participating law enforcement agencies, to make information more readily available for use at the state level, and to contribute to more streamlined operations at the national level.
With the development of a state UCR program, the FBI ceases direct collection of data from individual law enforcement agencies within the state. Instead, information from local agencies is forwarded to the national program through the state data collection agency. The conditions under which these systems are developed ensure consistency and comparability in the data submitted to the national program, as well as provide for regular and timely reporting of national crime data. These conditions are:
(1) The state program must conform to national Uniform Crime Reports' standards, definitions, and information requirements.
(2) The state criminal justice agency must have a proven, effective, statewide program and have instituted acceptable quality control procedures.
(3) Coverage within the state by a state agency must be, at least, equal to that attained by the national Uniform Crime Reports.
(4) The state agency must have adequate field staff assigned to conduct audits and to assist contributing agencies in record practices and crime reporting procedures.
(5) The state agency must furnish to the FBI all of the detailed data regularly collected by the FBI in the form of duplicate returns, computer printouts, and/or magnetic tapes.
(6) The state agency must have the proven capability (tested over a period of time) to supply all the statistical data required in time to meet national Uniform Crime Reports' publication deadlines.
To fulfill its responsibilities in connection with the UCR program, the FBI continues to edit and review individual agency reports for both completeness and quality; has direct contact with individual contributors within the state when necessary in connection with crime reporting matters, coordinating such contact with the state agency; and upon request, conducts training programs within the state on law enforcement records and crime reporting procedures. Should circumstances develop whereby the state agency does not comply with the aforementioned requirements, the national program may reinstate a direct collection of Uniform Crime Reports from law enforcement agencies within the state.
Reporting Procedures
Based on records of all reports of crime received from victims, officers who discover infractions, or other sources, law enforcement agencies across the country tabulate the number of Crime Index or Part I offenses brought to their attention each month. Specifically, the crimes reported to the FBI are murder and nonnegligent manslaughter, forcible rape, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, larceny-theft, motor vehicle theft, and arson.
Whenever complaints of crime are determined through investigation to be unfounded or false, they are eliminated from an agency's count. The number of "actual offenses known" is reported to the FBI regardless of whether anyone is arrested for the crime, stolen property is recovered, or prosecution is undertaken.
Another integral part of the monthly submission is the total number of actual Crime Index offenses cleared. Crimes are "cleared" in one of two ways: (1) at least one person is arrested, charged, and turned over to the court for prosecution; or (2) by exceptional means when some element beyond law enforcement agencies' control precludes the arrest of an offender. Law enforcement agencies also report the number of Index crime clearances which involve only offenders under the age of 18; the value of property stolen and recovered in connection with the offenses; and detailed information pertaining to criminal homicide and arson.
In addition to its primary collection of Crime Index (Part I) offenses, the UCR program solicits monthly data on persons arrested for all crimes except traffic violations. The age, sex, and race of arrestees are reported by crime category, both Part I and Part I.
Various data on law enforcement officers killed or assaulted are collected on a monthly basis. The number of full-time sworn and civilian personnel is reported as of October 31 each year.
Editing Procedures
Each report submitted to the UCR program is thoroughly examined for arithmetical accuracy and for deviations which may indicate errors. To identify any unusual fluctuations in an agency's crime count, monthly reports are compared with previous submissions of the agency and with those for similar agencies. Large variations in crime levels may indicate modified records procedures, incomplete reporting, or changes in the jurisdiction's geopolitical structure.
Data reliability is a high priority of the program and noted deviations or arithmetical adjustments are brought to the attention of the state UCR program or the submitting agency through correspondence. A standard procedure of the FBI is to study the monthly reports and to evaluate periodic trends prepared for individual reporting units. Any significant increase or decrease is made the subject of a special inquiry. When it is found that changes in crime reporting procedures or annexations are influencing the level of crime, the figures for specific crime categories or, if necessary, totals are excluded from trend tabulations.
To assist contributors in complying with UCR standards, the national program provides training seminars and instructional materials in crime reporting procedures. Throughout the country, liaison with state programs and law enforcement personnel is maintained, and training sessions are held to explain the purpose of the program, the rules of uniform classification and scoring, and the methods of assembling the information for reporting. When an individual agency has specific problems in compiling its crime statistics and remedial efforts are unsuccessful, FBI Criminal Justice Information Services Division personnel may visit the contributor to aid in resolving the difficulties.
The Uniform Crime Reporting Handbook, which details procedures for classifying and scoring offenses, is supplied to all contributors as the basic resource document for preparing reports. Since a good records system is essential for accurate crime reporting, the FBI also furnishes the Manual of Law Enforcement Records.
To enhance communication among program participants, letters to UCR contributors and state UCR program "Bulletins" are utilized. They address program policy, as well as present information and instructional material, and are produced as needed.
The final responsibility for data submissions rests with the individual contributing law enforcement agency. Although the program makes every effort through its editing procedures, training practices, and correspondence to assure the validity of the data it receives, the statistics' accuracy depends primarily on the adherence of each contributor to the established standards of reporting. Deviations from these established standards which cannot be resolved by the national UCR program may be brought to the attention of the Criminal Justice Information Systems Committees of the International Association of Chiefs of Police and the National Sheriffs' Association.
NIBRS Conversion
Several states provide their UCR data in the expanded NIBRS format. For presentation in Crime in the U.S. and for inclusion in data files supplied for formula computations, NIBRS data were converted to the historical summary UCR formats. The NIBRS data base was constructed to allow for such conversion so that UCR's long-running time series could continue.
Uniform Crime Reporting Offense Definitions
Offenses in Uniform Crime Reporting are divided into two groups, Part I and Part II. Information on the volume of Part I offenses known to law enforcement, those cleared by arrest or exceptional means, and the number of persons arrested is reported monthly. Only arrest data are reported for Part II offenses.
Part I Violent Crimes are:
Criminal homicide -- a. Murder and nonnegligent manslaughter: the willful (nonnegligent) killing of one human being by another. Deaths caused by negligence, attempts to kill, assaults to kill, suicides, accidental deaths, and justifiable homicides are excluded. Justifiable homicides are limited to: (1) the killing of a felon by a law enforcement officer in the line of duty; and (2) the killing of a felon, during the commission of a felony, by a private citizen. b. Manslaughter by negligence: the killing of another person through gross negligence. Traffic fatalities are excluded. While manslaughter by negligence is a Part I crime, it is not included in the Crime Index.
Forcible rape -- The carnal knowledge of a female forcibly and against her will. Included are rapes by force and attempts or assaults to rape. Statutory offenses (no force used -- victim under age of consent) are excluded.
Robbery -- The taking or attempting to take anything of value from the care, custody, or control of a person or persons by force or threat of force or violence and/or by putting the victim in fear.
Aggravated assault -- An unlawful attack by one person upon another for the purpose of inflicting severe or aggravated bodily injury. This type of assault usually is accompanied by the use of a weapon or by means likely to produce death or great bodily harm. Simple assaults are excluded.
Only the above four Part I violent crimes are used in the JABG formula.
Part I Property Crimes are:
Burglary-breaking or entering -- The unlawful entry of a structure to commit a felony or a theft. Attempted forcible entry is included.
Larceny-theft (except motor vehicle theft) -- The unlawful taking, carrying, leading, or riding away of property from the possession or constructive possession of another. Examples are thefts of bicycles or automobile accessories, shoplifting, pocket- picking, or the stealing of any property or article which is not taken by force and violence or by fraud. Attempted larcenies are included. Embezzlement, confidence games, forgery, worthless checks, etc., are excluded.
Motor vehicle theft -- The theft or attempted theft of a motor vehicle. A motor vehicle is self-propelled and runs on the surface and not on rails. Specifically excluded from this category are motorboats, construction equipment, airplanes, and farming equipment.
Arson -- Any willful or malicious burning or attempt to burn, with or without intent to defraud, a dwelling house, public building, motor vehicle or aircraft, personal property of another, etc.
The Part II offenses are:
Other assaults (simple) -- Assaults and attempted assaults where no weapon is used and which do not result in serious or aggravated injury to the victim.
Forgery and counterfeiting -- Making, altering, uttering, or possessing, with intent to defraud, anything false in the semblance of that which is true. Attempts are included.
Fraud -- Fraudulent conversion and obtaining money or property by false pretenses. Included are confidence games and bad checks, except forgeries and counterfeiting.

Drug abuse violations -- State and/or local offenses relating to the unlawful possession, sale, use, growing, and manufacturing of narcotic drugs. The following drug categories are specified: opium or cocaine and their derivatives (morphine, heroin, codeine); marijuana; synthetic narcotics-manufactured narcotics that can cause true addiction (demerol, methadone); and dangerous nonnarcotic drugs (barbiturates, benzedrine).
Gambling -- Promoting, permitting, or engaging in illegal gambling.

Basics of Dog and Cat Digestion; Your pet is a Carnivore!
Many people thrive on a vegetarian diet, however, even though humans can live healthful lives without ever eating meat, fundamental differences in anatomy make vegetarian diets far from ideal for dogs, and impossible for cats. Dog and cat anatomy has evolved over thousands of years to thrive on a high meat diet. Both dogs and cats are considered carnivores; dogs are opportunistic carnivores, meaning they eat meat whenever they can find it, and cats are obligate carnivores, meaning they must eat meat regularly to survive.
Dog and cats both have a far shorter intestinal tract than humans do, and food sits in their highly acidic stomachs far longer than it does in ours. Their digestive tracts prove that they are highly efficient at digesting meats; their stomachs make it virtually impossible for them to contract salmonella or e Coli, and their short intestines are ideal from gathering nutrients from protein-rich meat.
The inside of a dog or cat's mouth looks substantially different from that of a human. We have molars in the back of our mouths that are designed to grind up plant matter; we also produce salivary amylase, which begins to break down our food as we chew. Neither cats nor dogs produce salivary amylase because they generally don't chew their food, and their entire mouths are filled with sharp incisors, designed to tear off chunks of meat, not grind up vegetables.
Now, there are certain circumstances in which a dog may really need a vegetarian diet, and there are several available in both cans and kibble which can help your dog stay pretty healthy. There are not, however, any truly vegetarian foods for cats, because cats cannot produce Taurine (an essential amino acid), as well as several other animal-based nutrients, in their own bodies. The only way for a cat to get these vital nutrients into their body is to eat meat.
Because both dogs and cats thrive eating meat, I often recommend high protein diets to people who are looking for a new pet food. Grain free foods are often high in protein, and improve skin and coat health to reduce shedding.

About TerraCycle:
Operating in 24 countries, TerraCycle (terracycle.com) is the world leader in the recycling of generally non-recyclable waste, such as pens, toothbrushes, candy wrappers, juice pouches and cigarette butts. We create collection and solution systems for anything that would otherwise be sent to landfill or incineration. TerraCycle has over 50,000 voluntary collection locations in the US, including schools, offices, homes, community groups and other types of organizations. TerraCycle then turns collected waste into a wide variety of products and materials including plastic pallets, composite decking, and railroad ties. Major manufacturers contract with TerraCycle to subsidize the cost of collection and recycling their waste; for example Colgate pays us to collect and recycle toothbrushes, L'Oreal for beauty care products, Kraft for juice pouches and cheese packaging, etc. We have a full marketing and promotion team who engage collectors and promote the programs to generate recognition for the sponsoring brands. Our company is headquartered in Trenton NJ, 10 miles from Princeton and about an hour from New York and Philadelphia.
TerraCycle was founded in 2001 by Tom Szaky (then a 20-year-old Princeton University freshman) whose vision has become one of the fastest-growing green companies in the world. See http://www.shft.com/watching/the-big-shft-tom-szaky-terracycle-ceo/.

Students receive significant executive direction and guidance, including career advice, if requested.
Last year, 65 interns participated, mostly college students, but also some graduate students. The environment is dynamic and highly charged. Due to our eco-focus, some schools, including Princeton University, provide a stipend or possible credit for their students to work at TerraCycle. Please check with your school if they can provide support.
The internship is located at our graffiti-covered headquarters in Trenton, NJ. The preferred duration of the internship is 8-10 weeks between the end of May and beginning of August. Interns will be asked to bring their own laptops to the office.
To apply, please send your resume, cover letter and a sample press release or equivalent writing sample to: email@example.com.

Trey Songz Says He Wish His Relationship With Kelly Rowland Wasn't 'Platonic'Mon, May 28, 2012 GossipComments
"I think they look very cute," said Trey Songz's mother April Tucker following the release of the music video. "I was on set and she's very sweet and they have amazing chemistry in front of the camera, but they're good friends. I like her though, she's a sweetheart."
Now, in a new interview with our UK friends TaleTela, Songz maintains that their relationship is platonic, but insist he wish it wasn't.
"It's definitely platonic, I wish it wasn't," says Songz. She's amazing and I joke around with the idea of that, but all in all she's such an amazing friend."
He continues: "When she steps into a room, she makes the whole room glow, and she just has a spirit about her that she's really kind and she's always the same person every time you meet her."
We may have to place these two on a couples watch list.
Do y'all like them together?

of Spectacle
By John Dicker
People: Adventures in Reality TV
Sam Brenton and Reuben Cohen, Verso, 160 pages, $21
My best friend David is convinced his reality TV show is only
five years from mainstream palatability. Its called Up
the Butt andbear with me on thisit posits the following
question to desperately insolvent Americans: How much cash
will it take for you to insert various household items up
your . . . well, you get the idea.
Sam Brentons and Reuben Cohens joint venture Shooting
People explores the origins of how we ended up in an global
entertainment culture where Up the Butt seems less
like fatuous nonsense than a potential cash cow. Their short
book is written in a quasi-academic style, which is a shame,
as it waters down some otherwise interesting ideas. The authors
have a tendency to quote several theorists before delving
into their own analysis, and to deploy dissertation-style
sentences like: In the following chapter, we will argue that
. . . As though the suspense of turning their pages was just
too much for anyone to bear.
Brenton and Cohen also squander too much time showing how
the social idealism of early documentarians like British pioneer
John Grierson has descended into reality TVs carnival of
narcissism and humiliation. Lefty intellectuals love this
gig: Expose the political roots of a cultural phenomenonjazz
music comes to mindand then kick and scream about how its
original social and political intent has been obliterated
by the demands of the marketplace. Its not the historical
nature of the exposition thats so objectionable, but rather
the assumption that anyone might confuse the two.
All nitpicking aside, Brenton and Cohen do have a few useful
ideas. Chief among them is their argument that the progenitor
of reality TV was the abandonment of ideology on the left
that took place after the fall of Marxism. The personal politics
of 70s-era feminism and the personal liberation of the
self-help industry, they contend, carved a space for the ascendancy
of the confessional narrative. As they write:
The first person thus raised to the status of sole truth,
sole value, and sole source of narrative makes few allusions
to things beyond its boundaries. . . . This dandruff of selfhood,
elevated to the status of a worthy subject, rushes in to fill
the space vacated by overarching narratives that once extended
the range of their followers vision. . . . There is no aspect
of personal experiences too small to fix a camera ontrivia,
indeed, is the new rock n roll.
The thrust behind the new rock & roll is the controlling
power of contrived situationist environments. The authors
draw a direct parallel between reality TV and social-psychologist
Philip Zimbardos 1971 experiment in which he placed 24 college
graduates in a California prison for two weeks. Though fully
aware of the experiment and free to leave at any time, the
subjects so thoroughly assumed their roles as prisoners and
guards that several prisoners had complete psychological
meltdowns after the crushing of their revolt.
Brenton and Cohen contend that this same phenomenon is what
keeps participants of Survivor in line with the sadistic
and often dangerous rules mandated by their producers. Well,
that and the money. With the aid of psychologist consultantswhose
ethics, the authors suggest, are extremely compromisedthe
shows receive the imprimatur of psychological legitimacy.
While Shooting People makes some interesting arguments,
it dodges what might possibly be the supreme question this
budding genre implicitly poses: Why do audiences (and not
just Americans) lap this stuff up? We know its a gimmick,
that its oleaginous participants desperation is for little
more than the public spotlight. Is it the car-wreck phenomenon,
that we cant avert our eyes from a gruesome spectacle? Or
is it something more?
Shows that are less reality TV than game showlike Joe
Millionaireare rooted in little more than the spectacle
of public debasement; in higher-art circles, witness the smorgasbords
of human cruelty from the likes of film directors Neil LaBute
and Todd Solondz.
What is it about the way we live now that gets so many of
us off on the suffering of others? Its not as if our economy
and geopolitical conflagrations do not provide enough suffering.
Maybe its that the pain of non-Westerners is a tad too real.
Its safe to dish our contempt for the vacuously arrogant
22-year-olds with the luscious midriffs because we know their
problems are mild, that theyre safe to laugh at.
Until that question gets sorted out, my friend David has another
show lined up after his opus grows stale. Its called Celebrity
Up the Butt.

Honestly, nothing will stop them. If one path is blocked, they will go through the next. I had people buy templates from my sites from stolen credit cards. They purchased ten themes, totally $400. Not fun at all.
I tried blocking their IP, that did not stop them. They were using USA/Canada cards.
The best solution is to not accept credit card payments, I think, if it can be done through PayPal (?)

[854] The Effects of Metformin on the mTORC Pathway in Prostate Cancer
Michelle R Downes, Joan Sweet, Vanessa Zannella, Barbara Bowes, Marianne Koritzinsky, Andrew J Evans, John Trachtenberg, Michael Jewett, Antonio Finelli, Neil Fleshner, Michael Pollak, Anthony M Joshua. University Health Network, Toronto, ON, Canada; Princess Margaret Hospital, Toronto, ON, Canada; Ontario Cancer Institute, Toronto, ON, Canada; Jewish General Hospital, Montreal, QC, Canada
Background: Biguanides, including metformin, have been used in the management of type 2 diabetes for decades. Epidemiological studies report reduced cancer incidence and mortality rates in diabetic patients receiving metformin. Animal studies suggest hyperinsulinaemia increases the growth of prostate cancer xenografts via the insulin receptor and additionally, insulin is known to stimulate the androgen signalling pathway. Metformin activates AMPK upstream of the mammalian target of rapamycin complex (mTORC), thus inhibiting downstream signalling and protein synthesis. It may also directly target mTORC independently of AMPK. The aim of the study was to investigate whether neoadjuvant metformin administration in a cohort of non-diabetic patients would result in identifiable changes in protein expression of known components of the mTORC signalling pathway.
Design: Non diabetic patients (n=24) with Gleason score 7/10 prostate cancer on core biopsy (minimal inclusion criteria: 30% involvement of one core), received metformin for 4-12 weeks prior to radical prostatectomy. Sections from the prostatectomy specimen were chosen to correlate with the anatomical location of their biopsy proven tumour. A single case (n=1) was excluded due to insufficient tumour for immunohistochemical (IHC) studies and two patients (n=2) withdrew. IHC for Ki-67, P-ACC, P-AMPK, P-4EBP1, p53 and ERG was performed on the biopsy and corresponding tumour focus from the radical prostatectomy. An H-score was manually assigned for P-ACC, P-AMPK and P-4EBP1. A computational Ki-67 analysis was performed with the Aperio nuclear positivity algorithm. p53 and ERG IHC was manually assessed as either positive or negative.
Results: Analysis of P-4EBP1 has shown a significant decrease in staining (p<0.001). No significant decrease in P-AMPK or P-ACC has been identified. 18/22 cases of Ki-67 have been analysed and demonstrate a 28.7% relative decrease (p=0.015). Statistical analysis of p53 and ERG is in progress.
Conclusions: This data suggests that neoadjuvant metformin prior to radical prostatectomy results in altered protein expression of components of the mTORC signalling pathway. This finding may lead to an alternative treatment protocol for prostate cancer.

MFA Student Emily Belknap Receives 2013 Chazen Prize
March 19, 2013
Emily Belknap's "Vacant Lot" will be on display during an exhibition of her works as part of the Chazen Prize to an outstanding MFA Student.
Painter and sculptor Emily Belknap has been named the winner of the 2013 Chazen Prize to an Outstanding MFA Student.
Instituted in 2012 to be given annually for five years, the Chazen Prize recognizes the creative excellence of a third-year MFA student in the UW-Madison Art Department. The award includes a museum exhibition and a monetary contribution intended to help the student further his or her artistic career.
"Backyard Dilemmas: Constructed Landscapes by Emily Belknap" will be on view at the Chazen Museum of Art from March 30-May 12 in the Oscar F. and Louise Greiner Mayer Gallery of the Elvehjem Building. There will be a reception on Thursday, April 4 from 5:30-7 p.m. in Paige Court.
The Chazen Prize is coordinated in collaboration with the Art Department and the selection is made by an outside curator. This year's curator is Bartholomew Ryan, assistant curator in the visual arts department at the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis. He says he selected Belknap "because of the strong impression [her artworks made on him] and also the sense that they are connected to a wider philosophy of practice that the artist is developing both materially and conceptually."
Belknap, in her artist's statement, says: "From green lawns maintained with sprinklers to monoculture cornfields, . . . I explore the relationship between town margins and backyards. . . . We try to isolate nature into parks, fields and lawns, but natural processes are integral to all places. A landscape can be made simple, yet it will reach again toward complexity. The issue of maintenance is an underlying theme of this work."
Support for the exhibition has been provided by the Chazen Museum of Art Council and the Wisconsin Arts Board with funds from the State of Wisconsin and the National Endowment for the Arts.

LAS VEGAS (AP) - The Nevada Board of Regents has approved an 8-percent tuition increase for undergraduate students.
The 12-member board voted for the increase Friday afternoon in
Las Vegas, turning down proposals to keep the tuition rate steady,
or increase it by 5 or 13 percent.
Student government leaders asked the board to hold the tuition
rate at $156 per credit or delay the vote.
Undergraduates already had to pay 13 percent more this year as
Nevada's unemployment rate tops the nation at 13.4 percent.
The board previously passed a 5-percent tuition hike for
graduate students.
Administrators say they need more money to rehire faculty and
staff after four years of budget cuts.
Undergraduate registration fees and tuition have increased 73
percent in Nevada since 2007.
ELKO, Nev. (AP) - The Nevada Board of Regents has voted to close
the University of Nevada, Reno's debt-laden Fire Science Academy in
Elko County by Dec. 31.
University President Marc Johnson applauded the Friday vote,
saying the 12-year-old fire academy that sits along U.S. Interstate
80 east of Carlin was not financially sustainable. He called it a
difficult, but necessary decision.
The non-degree training program employs 28 people and is roughly
$36 million in debt.
The Nevada National Guard wants to buy the site. That land deal
is expected to be finalized by early next year.
The decision to close the academy was long coming.
An ad hoc advisory council chaired by the late former Nevada
Gov. Kenny Guinn urged the university and regents to close the
academy in 2008, citing financial concerns.

WASHINGTON -- Republican lawmakers said Sunday they welcome President Barack Obama's courtship and suggested the fresh engagement between the White House and Congress might help yield solutions to the stubborn budget battle that puts Americans' jobs at risk.
Yet the lawmakers cautioned that years of hurt feelings were unlikely to heal simply because Obama dined last week with Republican lawmakers. They also said they would not rush too quickly into Obama's embrace during three scheduled, and unusual, visits to Capitol Hill next week to win them over.
"He is moving in the right direction. I'm proud of him for doing it. I think it's a great thing," said Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla. "I'm welcoming (him) with open arms. I think the president is tremendously sincere. I don't think this is just a political change in tactic. I think he would actually like to solve the problems of this country."
The White House charm offensive comes as automatic spending cuts have begun to take hold, and if Washington does not block them, they could cut jobs as varied as air traffic controllers, meat inspectors and Head Start teachers.
"I hope that this is sincere," said Republican Rep. Paul Ryan, chairman of the House Budget Committee, who lunched with Obama at the White House last week. "We had a very good, frank exchange. But the proof will be in the coming weeks as to whether or not it's a real, sincere outreach to find common ground."
His close friend, Rep. Cory Gardner, R-Colo., said lawmakers were unlikely to become fast friends with Obama after four years of being vilified in private and, in some cases, public. "I hope that he's genuine. But I don't think we're going to be doing the Harlem Shake any time soon together," Gardner said.
Obama hopes to woo lawmakers this week to help avert a coming budget showdown -- the next deadline is March 27, when the current short-term budget extension expires and a government shutdown looms.
Senate Democrats said they were ready to pass a spending measure to pay for day-to-day federal operations through September. The measure would impose automatic cuts of 5% to domestic agencies and 7.8% to the Pentagon.

The smell of fresh bread and other pastries used to waft through the streets of downtown Greenville, drawing the entire town to a bakery at the corner of Nelson and Edison streets.
Come Fridays and Saturdays, folks would line up outside Brown's Bakery, waiting to pick up their order and maybe grab a cinnamon roll for the road.
"Oh, they had the most delicious breads, rolls, pastries. They even made ice cream. If you wanted rolls, you had to call and order them ahead of time. You couldn't just come on up here Saturday morning and expect to get them," said Victor Smith, a retired sheriff and Greenville ...

In the 1787 Constitutional Convention, Benjamin Franklin said, "I have lived, Sirs, a long time, and the longer I live, the more convincing proofs I see of this truth - that God governs in the affairs of men. And if a sparrow cannot fall to the ground without his notice, is it probable that an empire can rise without his aid?" ? "Have we forgotten that powerful friend? Or do we imagine we no longer need his assistance?"
In 2006, Barack Obama said, "Whatever we once were, we are no longer just a Christian nation; we are also a Jewish nation, a Muslim nation, a Buddhist nation, a Hindu nation, and a nation of nonbelievers," meaning any "ism" or perversity is acceptable, regardless how heathenish.
If the founding fathers recognized a dependence upon God in establishing this nation, is it likely we can survive without that same dependence? I think not.
As surely as there is a judgment awaiting each person, history confirms there is a judgment for nations. Since nations do not pass into an afterlife, their judgments occur as the world "marches" on. Since, as Obama expressed, our nation no longer depends upon that powerful Friend, is judgment far behind?

This blog focuses on customizations and programming for Project Web App, Project Server, Project Professional and Project Standard. Includes User Interface (UI) customizations, Project Server Interface (PSI) and Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) Programming. It also covers Business Intelligence.
Hi All,
Thank you for attending my PSI review MSDN webcasts, I really enjoyed delivering them. I think if I deliver again it'll need to be three webcasts, I barely finished part A, and left out three web services in part B. Below is some of the Q&A I've gotten.
Create a custom timesheet import UI. So create timesheet from data in Excel for example (each row as a new timesheet maybe?)
I want to work on top of various projects that have a certain CustomField value. Going into every project's dataset takes waaaay too long. Is there a better way to do this with PSI?
Is it ok to use VB for all this stuff or is it much better to use C#?
I am trying to sync the values in a Look up table with an external SQL table so the two stay in sync. What is the best way to do this? the table is a customer table from the accounting system
What types of programming tasks are going to take existing GUIDs, and what tasks will require us to generate our own GUID? Queueing? Object Creation? It would seem like Project Server would want to own the GUID, for sync'ing and stuff, right?
I don't mean to oversimplify, but if we have an admin backup scheduled daily, isn't that what you are referring to as the 'archive' (although with code you can have more control rather than an all or nothing).
Do you have any customers that are automatically tweaking the queue configuration settings in a production environment?
For AD Credentials, I use the NetworkCredentials class, which class do I use for the Forms logins? I don't use it, just curious.... It blocks my outbound webservices connection, I can't seem to authenticate properly, any tips?
Thank you for attending my MSDN webcast Project Server Events and Workflows. Don't forget about next weeks webcast on Project Client programmability. Below is some of the Q&A I got during the webcast. Attached is the demos from the webcast.
Will you chat at all about Project Server 2010? Are there any plans for changes in the new version?
Is the command (i.e save project) already queued, when an event is raised?
Based on your description of pre and post, the "project published" event is raised after save to the db. Would you say its best to eval business rules afterward, log violations, notify user and delete from db? is there an ability to only delete from PDB and leave in DDB so user can correct and attempt re-publish?
Is it microsoft.office.project.schema.dll or microsoft.office.project.server.schema.dll?
microsoft.office.project.schema.dll is the correct DLL.
Is there anything to pay special attention for (i.e. concurrency, locking, etc.) with events on heavy loaded systems or is this solved by "serialized" execution through the project server queue?
Using events to enforce business rules
This is a little late, I missed that I didn't post this. Q&A and demos from the March 12th webcast.

Our "very" own Project Developer Center got a new design by the MSDN writers – it means richer and more discoverable content for you! Check it out, it's really stunning!
Thanks for the hard work to Jim and Verna! As always any feedback, comments, ideas could be directed to email@example.com.
We have released SP2. For more details, check out Christophe's blog:
It seems like I've been doing Project Programmability webcasts for months… oh yeah I have :). There are still two more left, check them out:
Session Title
EPMAuditing Solution Starter Drilldown
Both start at 8:00 AM PDT.
As Christophe pointed out in this blog post, we have now a very comprehensive white paper "Best Practices for Migrating to Project Server 2007" that provides guidance, references, and best practices to observe when migrating to Microsoft Office Project Server 2007 from Project Server 2003.
But how does it apply to you as a developer?
Project Server 2007 has a new API - Project Server Interface (PSI) that is a managed code interface opposed to the older Project Data Service (PDS) XML message interface found in previous versions of Project Server. And yes this means a lot :)
I'm pretty sure you have already investigated the content in the Project Server 2007 SDK (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms512767.aspx), so let me point you to this chapter in the 2007 SDK "PDS Parity in PSI Web Services" - http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms197081.aspx. It has 3 articles inside, including equivalence table and code examples.
We would love to hear your feedback on the "PDS Parity in PSI Web Services" or any other feedback on the developer documentation and resources could be shared via firstname.lastname@example.com. Thanks!

Knee Injury Rehab
Steve Morrin 5 years ago
Hey guys I'm really struggling with this, so if anyone has any input that would be awesome! I'm going for the Utah State Record this next year (8:54) so I really hope I can solve this problem.
The past two months I have had a fairly painful knee injury which appeared without too many possible causes. When I run, I will feel a pain in my knee cap every few strides which limits the intensity that I can run at/ cause my other leg to overcompensate. I have been to a BYU trainer and a PT in Lehi, and they both concluded that it was probably something to do with my knee cap being off track. The PT described it as patellofemoral syndrome, feeling that it had to do with inflamation of the kneecap, while the trainer felt the cause was due to a tight patellar tendon. Regardless, I have taken the last two weeks off after track season ended in hopes that this would allow more time to heal. I have now started up running again, and four days into the season it feels much like it did before I took a break. I have been given exercises by the PT which should help strengthen the leg of the injured knee, but that is all they do is strengthen. My question is, what is the most effective way after runs to treat knee pain. Should it involve extensive stretching, icing, massage, ibuprofen, certain foods? What is the most efficient way to promote healing?

China: Sichuan Beef Soup
Beef shank, which imbues a broth with rich, meaty essence, is one of those underappreciated—and fairly priced—cuts of meat. Shop at an Asian market for Sichuan peppercorns, black bean sauce, and chile sauce. You won't use much of any, but they're crucial to the flavor and they'll keep in the pantry or fridge practically forever.

Bottom Line
The latest version of the world's leading browser delivers category-leading security and adds some pretty slick browsing aids, such as WebSlices and Accelerators. It defaults to a more standards-compliant mode, but still offers a backward compatibility button. A predictive address bar brings it closer to Firefox, but the lack of a download manager and robust extension ecosystem hold the browser back.

Do you want to write for Ink 19?
UDR GmbH
Grab your umlauts and get ready to bang your head, Lemmy is back with his almost two dozenth album of classic speed metal! Do not fear of modern musical trends, there's no cutesy pop cello angst or hipster ukulele madness in this collection; it's the pure post punk speed metal sound we've been craving since "Ace of Spades" and "White Line Fever" first blew out our speakers. Ian "Lemmy" Kilmister is still fronting the band and his current helpers are Phil "Wizzö" Campbell (guitar) and Mikkey Dee (drums). Speed metal is the meatloaf and mashed potatoes of rock and roll, and we want to hear it just like that first time dad screamed "TURN THAT NOISE OFF!" And as always Motörhead delivers hot and fast.
This collection opens with the paint peeling "Heartbreaker" and "Coup de Grace," and then it's time for a power ballad. "Lost Woman Blues" sounds like Robin Trower's "Bridge of Sighs" until about two-thirds through, then the speed increases and we are back to rolling power chords. Lemmy, you old trickster -- you had me thinking you had mellowed. Ha, you faked me out. No problem, "End of Time" takes us back up to the tight piercing chords of metal -- superheroes rule, the mellows are gone and he doesn't give a damn, and neither should we. I predict this should be the hit release on this album. There's more great lyrics here: "I don't know what I did last night but I did it good" sums up his life on "Do You Believe" and "Give us the time and we'll do the crime" sounds just about right for "Going to Mexico." There's nothing here that won't get your blood boiling. Motörhead -- a band never too old to rock and roll, and Lemmy is a man whose brain cells are never too young to die.

2 Timothy 3:1 "This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come."
Ex CIA Spy discloses Iranian Secrets.
Reza Kahlili (alias) is pained by regrets and admits, "I put my family in danger without giving it much thought. They didn't know what I'd done, but they were in as much danger as I was." Reza lived a double-life as a spy for the CIA in Iran as part of the elite Revolutionary Guard. He discovered and disclosed secret plans by Iranian terrorist cell groups in the U.S. and Europe to plant suitcase bombs. If Iran is able to pull this terrorist attack off, it will be the worst atrocity in human history. We dare not allow Iran to get their hands on nuclear weapons.
Alireza Forghani is an Iranian analyst and a strategy specialist in Ayatollah Khamenei's camp. He blogs and writes a column that is being run on most state-owned sites, including the Revolutionary Guards' Fars News Agency, proving that Khamenei's regime endorses his doctrine.
Forghani details the Islamic duty of jihad as laid out in the Quran for the sake of Allah and states that "primary jihad," according to some Shiite jurists, can only occur when the Hidden Imam, the Shiites' 12th Imam Mahdi, returns. Shiites believe Mahdi's (the Muslim Messiah/antichrist) return will usher in Armageddon. Hence Iran's stand on wiping Israel and the United States off the face of this earth. They want to usher in their Muslim messiah. Armageddon is coming.
An Iranian secret documentary, "The Coming Is Upon Us," depicts Khamenei as a mythical figure who creates the environment for the reappearance of Mahdi (the Muslim Messiah) by leading Iran to destroy Israel and guaranteeing their victory.
It has been disclosed that select fighters are being described as "Soldiers of Imam Mahdi," in Iran.
You will recall when Judas Iscariot betrayed Jesus, his intention was to force Jesus to take His rightful place as King (Messiah). Judas believed wrongly that he could assist or force God to physically save them. The other followers rightly believed that deliverance will simply take place according to God's will and in His own timing.
Ever since Iranian President Ahmadinejad's 2005 prayer for the soon return of Islam's Mahdi-Messiah, in front of the U.N. General Assembly, speculation has been running rampant as to which school of thought Ahmadinejad adheres to. Many have argued that Ahmadinejad and the religious leaders of Iran are in fact all true Mahdist (zealots like Judas), racing toward nuclear capability solely for the purpose of creating the apocalypse to force their messiah to come in power and strength to defeat their enemies.
Iran's supreme leader, for the first time, is telling his nation that it must prepare for war and "the end of times." State-owned media outlets, in a coordinated effort, all ran a similar story highlighting Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's message on the coming of the last Islamic messiah.
World War III may very well begin like World War II ended, with an atomic blast.
Shiite theology holds that great wars must engulf the Earth, during which one-third of the world's population will die in the fighting and another third from hunger, lawlessness and havoc. Israel is to be destroyed, and only then will the 12th imam, Mahdi, reappear and kill all the infidels, raising the flag of Islam in all the corners of this world. "Today we have a duty to prepare for the coming. … If we are the soldiers of the 12th imam, then we must be ready to fight," Khamenei said.
Disaster may well come in the shape of suitcase bombs, delivered on the head of a missile or a fiery star out of the heavens. Either way, we know that to be absent from the body, is to be present with our Lord Jesus.
"I watched as he opened the sixth seal. There was a great earthquake. The sun turned black like sackcloth made of goat hair, the whole moon turned blood red, and the stars in the sky fell to earth, as late figs drop from a fig tree when shaken by a strong wind. The sky receded like a scroll, rolling up, and every mountain and island was removed from its place." (Rev 6:12-14)

text: US Nabs Suspected Benghazi Mastermind Special forces capture Ahmed Abu Khattala By Kevin Spak, Newser User Posted Jun 17, 2014 10:47 AM CDT STORY COMMENTS (133) (Newser) – US Special Forces captured Ahmed Abu Khattala, the man long suspected of leading the 2012 attack on the US consulate in Benghazi, over the weekend in a secret raid, official sources tell the Washington Post. American troops, working with the FBI, apprehended Khattala near Benghazi, and are currently holding him in "a secure location outside Libya," the sources say. Khattala has in the past admitted involvement in the attack, but denied leading it—all while mocking Libyan authorities as too "chicken" to arrest him. Federal prosecutors filed charges against him and a dozen others last year, and the State Department in January designated him as a "senior leader" of the Benghazi branch of the terrorist group Ansar al-Sharia. "When the United States says it's going to hold someone accountable and he will face justice, this is what we mean," one official boasts. This Sept 13, 2012 file photo shows a Libyan man investigating the inside of the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, after an attack that killed four Americans, including Ambassador Chris Stevens.
