Beaumont/Port Arthur
While most children are spending their summer vacations building sandcastles at the beach or earning achievements on their favorite video game, two Beaumont youth are working to make a difference in the lives of kids at Buckner Children's Village.
Sharon Rigsby, planetarium teacher at the Murray J. Frank Planetarium, was removed from the latest Beaumont Independent School District Reduction in Force (RIF) list. Rigsby's name was not called when a notice of proposed termination due to financial exigency was announced at a BISD Special Meeting July 28.
The city of Beaumont voted to approve a resolution at a Tuesday, July 29, council meeting authorizing an earnest money contract for the sale of Hotel Beaumont to Garden Street Holdings, LLC, of California for $1.175 million.
Orange police have arrested a 28-year-old Orange resident who they say admitted to having sex with a juvenile runaway who was staying at his home but said he did not know she was underage. While police concede that may be true, his Facebook page tells a story of its own, revealing a man on the prowl for sexual satisfaction.
A Corpus Christi man was found guilty of felony possession of marijuana following a two-day trial in Judge Larry Gist's Drug Impact Court, Criminal District Attorney Cory Crenshaw announced in a press release Wednesday, July 30.
While we harbor no disrespect for the Wall Street Journal who called us "that scrappy little paper from Southeast Texas," we prefer to think of ourselves as simple seekers of the truth. We're of the opinion that headlines and sound bites never tell the whole story. Our readers demand all the facts, facets and flavors of every story or event. And, they expect to be informed, educated and stirred to action.
For this week's New York Times crossword puzzle, pick up a copy of this week's The Examiner on newsstands now.

With Terry Gilliam now moving on to his next film, "The Man Who Killed Don Quixote," with an early 2015 shoot being eyed, we're still waiting stateside for his latest film, "The Zero Theorem." However, the international rollout continues, and today comes another new trailer giving folks a taste of the futuristic world the filmmaker has conjured up this time around. So what's it about?
"That's the hard part, trying to describe it. I've never been good at describing what I do, I just do it. Here's the simple, quick sound bite: I think I made 'Brazil' for 2013," Gilliam told us last summer. " 'Brazil' had things that were obsessing me about the world at that time, and same thing here. This is more about connectivity, the connected universe, and whether you can separate yourself from it. "
And the cast of Christoph Waltz, David Thewlis, Melanie Thierry, Ben Whishaw, Tilda Swinton and Matt Damon, come together to tell the story of Quinn, who is tasked with solving the Zero Theorem, an equation that proves that existence is meaningless. But as he says in this new trailer for the film, who would want to solve that riddle?
Still no word on a U.S. release date but hopefully the folks at Amplify figure out something soon. Watch below. [Allocine]

From:Title: EVALUATION OF BLUE BIKE-LANE TREATMENT IN PORTLAND, OREGON
Accession Number: 00798925
Record Type: Component
Language 1: English
Record URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.3141/1705-16
Abstract: Many European cities use colored markings at bicycle-motor vehicle crossings to reduce conflicts. To determine whether such colored markings help improve safety at American bicycle-motor vehicle crossings, the city of Portland, Oregon, studied the use of blue pavement markings and a novel signage system to delineate selected conflict areas. The University of North Carolina Highway Safety Research Center (HSRC), under contract to the Federal Highway Administration, analyzed the project data. From 1997 to 1999, Portland marked 10 conflict areas with paint, blue thermoplastic, and an accompanying "Yield to Cyclist" sign. All of the sites had a high level of cyclist and motorist interaction, as well as a history of complaints. The crossings were all at locations where the cyclist travels straight and the motorist crosses the bicycle lane in order to exit a roadway (such as an off-ramp situation), enter a right-turn lane, or merge onto a street from a ramp. The study used videotape analysis and found most behavior changes to be positive. Significantly higher numbers of motorists yielded to cyclists and slowed or stopped before entering the blue pavement areas, and more cyclists followed the colored bike-lane path. However, the blue pavement also resulted in fewer cyclists turning their heads to scan for traffic or using hand signals, perhaps signifying an increased comfort level. The overwhelming majority of cyclists and close to a majority of motorists surveyed felt the blue areas enhanced safety. Colored pavement and signage should continue to be used and evaluated in bicycle-motor vehicle conflict areas. (Emphasis added, jcr)

"The Gordano Upgrade Process is Faultless!"
"RWA is one of the world's leading travel technology suppliers specializing in travel reservation, management and distribution solutions.
With a client base consisting of blue-chip companies we are always cautious when upgrading software that has operated flawlessly for years. Having just upgraded our installation of the Gordano Messaging Suite (GMS) from version 7 to version 14, a 6 year gap in versions, we were most impressed with the ease of the upgrade process. Not only was it faultless but the new version is much faster and more reliable, a pleasant surprise in an age when software generally requires more resources as it evolves.
As an added bonus GMS 14 supports all of our mobile devices out of the box, providing push email directly to the device without any third party software requirements."

Extend Node.js requestListeners with deferred promise support
Extends Node.js requestListeners with q's deferred promise support.
With this library you can turn any listener function that's
function(req, res[, next) into promise capable and still keep it
working the same way.
You can use it with various frameworks and libraries:
It's open source, MIT.
You can install it simply from NPM:
npm install deferred-listener
var deferred_listener = require'deferred-listener';var connect = require'connect';var app = connect usedeferred_listenerconnectlogger'dev' usedeferred_listenerconnectstatic'public' usedeferred_listener next; // Now, let's try to make a bug and call next again next; // ...it doesn't work since calling next() only resolves our promise and // it cannot be triggered twice! usedeferred_listener resend'hello world!\n'; listen3000;
deferred_listener() can be used also when building your own new
Let's build a simple middleware that fetches some data from the
filesystem and parses it to
Look, no
key = key || file; var readFile = QnfbindFSreadFile; return deferred_listener return readFilefile "utf-8"then if!reqfile reqfile = {}; reqfilekey = JSONparsedata; ; ;
...and here's how to use it:
var app = connect useconnectlogger'dev' useconnectstatic'public' usefetch_file"test.json" "test" use resend'hello world!\n\n' + 'test.foo = ' + reqfiletestfoo + "\n" ; listen3000;
requestListener is a function in format
function(request, response[, next]). It's common format for various different Node.js
next is an optional function in format
deferred_listener() returns a wrapper function to
Returned function acts just like the original function but has
additional support for promises. It can still be called with the
callback but instead of calling the original callback directly it will
only reject or resolve single promise and call the original
next only
once. However when called without a
next callback only a promise will
be returned.

Promises to Keep
Promises to Keep
Viking Adult, Hardcover, 9780670021796, 352pp.
Publication Date: June 15, 2010
From the "New York Times" bestselling author-a momentous new novel about a family suddenly thrown together
Callie Perry is a successful family photographer living in upstate New York. She adores her two daughters, has great friends, and actually doesn't mind that her workaholic husband gets home at 9 p.m. every night-that is, when he's not traveling six months out of the year.
Callie's younger sister, Steff, on the other hand, has never grown up. She's a free spirit, living in downtown Manhattan and bouncing between jobs and boyfriends. Lately, she's been working as a vegan chef, even though she can't cook.
Lila Grossman is Callie's best friend and has finally met the man of her dreams. Eddie has two wonderful children, but also a drama queen ex-wife who hates Lila. And then there are Callie and Steff's parents, Walter Cutler and Honor Pitman. Divorced for thirty years, they rarely speak to each other.
The lives of these colorful characters intersect when they each receive a shocking note that summons them together for one extraordinary summer in Maine and changes their lives forever. This novel is about the hard choices we have to face, about having to be your parents' child long after you've grown up, and about the enduring nature of love.
Jane Green was born and brought up in London. After abandoning a Fine Art degree and a stint in journalism, she went into public relations and worked for a time on This Morning. Jane then went back into the newspaper world and became a popular feature writer with the Daily Express, before going freelance and starting her first novel. A string of international bestsellers and marriage to an American later, Jane now lives in Connecticut – but flies home to London as often as four children and lots of animals allow.
Jane's hugely successful books include; Straight Talking, Jemima J., Mr Maybe, Bookends, Babyville, Spellbound, The Other Woman and Life Swap. Her latest novel is Second Chance.

I do now have paid experience taking care of animals however, I do love caring for them. I had the unfortunate experience of growing up without any because several members of my family are allergic. I can bathe them, clean them, walk them, and play with them. Animals are just as easily to be nurtured as people.

Can you dye or color white dirty looking grout if it has no sealer on it?
- Forum >
- Home Design >
- grout
floor or wall grout sanded or non sanded. wall grout it would be just as easy to scrape with grout removal tool and regrout with desired color.floor grout is tougher and would be time consuming but the same process sould be used as most grouts today have sealers in them already. another alternative is to get a comercial type grout cleaner and clean the grout but follow directions
good luck
Muriatic acid is great for cleaning wall or floor grout - but follow the instructions exactly as it is acid and can be dangerous.
As stated in one of the responses, muriatic acid can be dangerous, so you may want to try something safer if you really just want the grout to look white again. If so, try SNAP Cream Scouring Cleanser from our 'Home Care Store' at www.shopEZ.unfranchise.com. If you want to use the Muriactic Acid, you should check out ClearShield from the 'Personal Care Store' at www.shopEZ.unfranchise.com. This product is used in our lab at work to protect people from caustic acids, muriatic acid, sulfuric acid, etc. I've someone demonstrate it by pouring muriactic acid on his hands while holding tin foil. The tin foil disintegrated and his hands were fine! Still be careful and use as directed. Good luck.

As Christmas and the holidays draw even closer, shoppers were out in full force Friday trying to take advantage of Black Friday Sales.
Many stores in our area extended their hours for this day of shopping by either opening early, closing late, or both. Best Buy opened earlier Friday morning at 5a.m. Belk at Bonita Lakes Mall opened even earlier at 4a.m.
We talked to Ron Lane, the manager of Cowboy Maloney's in Meridian about the shopping chaos.
"Things went great yesterday. We had some great response here in Meridian. We had a lot of people out. We were packed all day. We were open from 7:30 in the morning until 9 last night and we had people in here when we got ready to close," says Lane.
Shoppers at Cowboy Maloney's seemed to be after one item.
"People are apparently looking for TVs: LEDs, LCDs, plasmas are really coming back this year. We've even got the 60 inch DLPs on special. "
Lane says the store did better than last year. He says the store has been doing well for the last few months.

The Capable Cruiser: The world's best known cruiser-writer team shows how to cruise with precision, pleasure, and self-sufficiency
This revised and expanded third edition of a cruising classic includes 9 completely new chapters with such advice as: sixteen ways to encourage your lover (partner) to share your dream; strategies for turning sudden engine failure into a minor incident; choosing safety equipment; repairing rigging at sea. All of the original chapters have been updated and many are expanded to ensure that the information will be helpful for everyone who dreams of cruising whether now or soon.The Capable Cruiser is a logical extension of the Pardeys The Self-Sufficient Sailor, with more emphasis on seamanship underway, including careful analysis of extreme anchoring situations and solutions for mitigating them. Underlying each and every chapter is the warmth and encouragement that spurred Herb McCormick, editor-at-large for Cruising World, to label Lin and Larry Pardey the enablers. Reviewer s comments:You need to read the third edition of Capable Cruiser both for the knowledge it imparts and the sensible seamanship that runs through every page. George Day, editor, Blue Water Sailing, Excellent! Capable Cruiser is just one part of a must-read series for serious sailors.Karen Larson - Founding Editor, Good Old Boat magazineWhen it comes to the subject of "capable cruising," the Pardeys have literally and figuratively written the book on it. The lessons they've learned after tens of thousands of miles at sea are hard-earned, clearly imparted, and totally invaluable.Herb McCormick Cruising World editor-at-largeThe Capable Cruiser is must reading for anyone who would like to take their yacht across the waters to high adventure anywhere around the globe. Midwest Book ReviewNothing can keep you cruising longer, safer and on a lower budget than self-sufficiency, and no one knows more about it than the Pardeys. Tom Linskey, Sail MagazineSound guidance, experience allied to common sense . . . it makes a good guide. Practical Boat Owner

Anytime Microsoft launches a major desktop operating system upgrade it forces a market inflection point. The decision tree typically involves three clear options...
Should channel partners and customers:
- hold firm to their Windows XP and Vista desktops?
- dabble in Mac OS X or Linux desktops?
- or make the move to Windows 7?
- IBM is working with Canonical (promoter of Ubuntu Linux) and Virtual Bridges to offer virtualized Ubuntu desktops on Linux servers. True believers include Midas Networks, a managed service provider in Austin, Texas. Virtual Bridges CEO Jim Curtin has built profitable relationships with IBM before, and he sees considerable opportunity for virtualized desktops in emerging economies.
- ICC Global Hosting unveiled a virtual desktop hosting partnership program during CompTIA Breakaway 2009. The program allows VARs to promote and profit from hosted virtual desktops that ICC Global Hosting manages.
- Pano Logic continues to evangelize Pano Device, a so-called zero client that supports virtual instances of Windows XP running on a VMware ESX or ESXi server.
- Red Hat is expected to announce more of its virtual desktop strategy during Red Hat Summit (Sept. 1-4, Chicag0). Red Hat acquired Qumranet in September 2008 to help accelerate the company's virtual desktop strategy.
- Synchron of Austin, Texas (ironically, a neighbor of Virtual Bridges) is quietly building a partner program for its virtualized OnDemand desktop offering.
Money MattersNow, the key question: Can desktop virtualization really generate profits for VARs? In some cases the answer appears to be a promising yes. At ICC Global Hosting, partners can earn recurring revenue for each customer they transition to hosted virtual desktops. And more than a dozen channel partners have signed up to support the IBM-Canonical-Virtual Bridges strategy.
Still, let's not get carried away. Though promising, Virtual Desktops aren't perfect. Plenty of folks continue to demand full-blown PCs simply because they prefer powerful devices that can run a range of applications even without a network connection. Also, organizations that have intermittent broadband connections may not want to have their virtualized desktops hosted by an outside provider.
Ultimately, the desktop virtualization market sounds quiet a bit like a next-generation successor to the thin client market. So it's safe to expect virtualized desktops to surface within settings where thin clients first emerged -- health care, retail and so forth.
But longer term, virtualized desktops could go broader. Surely, some CIOs and their channel partners have grown tired of remote support, security and administration issues tied to PCs.

So you just need to play for a long time =)
Keiji is probably easiest since you can recruit him when he's warlord of Yaksha in some episodes =D But linking him with Shieldon is a pain in the butt :/

I am going to tell you a story, and the truth is it's probably pretty familiar to you already.

Here goes: in today's competitive market, your services are what make your organization innovative. They are what set you apart from your competition.

They are what have taken your IT from being seen as a "cost center" to playing a role as one of the most crucial parts of your organization's success (or failure).

The services you provide are what make your organization innovative. Failure on the part of IT can mean failure for everyone.

(No pressure. Am I right?)

By definition, a competitive market is one that is in constant states of change. New customer demands. Competitive maneuvers. New service offerings. Industry or government regulations.

Speed is of the essence. But, of course there's the need to ensure that everything stays within the governance you've put in place, your security policies and of course you're trying to be as risk adverse as possible.

Doing all of this while navigating the complexity of your IT.

(Like I said. No pressure.)

This is the story you already are pretty familiar with. So now, let's talk about what we do about this.

Today, Tivoli along with Rational and WebSphere are a part of a larger IBM Software Group launch around Business Agility.

There are a number of announcements around Business Agility - about providing you with "business agility levers" that assist with combinations of technology capabilities that accelerate the path to agility with reduced cost and greater efficiency.

This is the start of a series of blogs where we'll be discussing a number of the business agility levers. Today, I'm going to talk about one; Predictive Business Service Management. My next blog will focus on Collaborative Development & Operations.

Predictive Business Service Management

With Business Service Management solutions from IBM, organizations are able to put services in the proper business context so that both IT and the business teams can accurately see the complex relationships their services and supporting technology infrastructure have with each other.

On Tuesday, IBM announced a new version of the Tivoli Business Service Manager solution. Key to this new version (Announcement 211-444) are role-based dashboards with easy self-service, drag & drop capabilities to customize a user's visibility into key service health indicators, KPIs, and business or IT detail required for their role or tackling a current issue.

That level of "Visibility" can be taken to a new level when organizations leverage Predictive Analytics.

Business service disruptions and outages cost organizations millions of dollars per year. Even with existing investments in infrastructure monitoring and performance management solutions, organizations are often unaware of an impending service issue…until it is too late.

Predictive Business Service Management identifies performance issues in an organization's IT and network infrastructure prior to these costly service disruptions or outages. With this type of early warning system, detection is done early enough that mitigating steps can be taken to stop the issue from ever negatively impacting critical application or business services. Put simply: it finds problems before the organization knows to look for them.

Also on Tuesday, IBM previewed a new solution for predictive business service management that will address predictive business service management (Announcement 211-468).

For more information around everything that is happening around the Business Agility launch contact your IBM sales rep or one of our Business Partners using the Business Partner Locator website.

Also, we're doing something a bit new with this announcement. The IBM Software Group Blog, Impact Blog, Rational Blog and this blog are all telling the story together. You'll be able to click across the different blogs and get more information about all aspects of this launch.

Update: there's a great website for the Business Agility launch, specific to Tivoli and service management on our website.

Information On Demand (IOD) is in full effect in beautiful Las Veagas, Nevada (airport code: LAS).

Tiffany Winman has a good summary with all sorts of great links on the IBM Software blog.

The conference has already yielded one new announcement (IBM Adds Optimized Analytics Systems to x86 Line) but for details on the day-to-day I default to Todd "Turbo" Watson's blog for the lastest in news and releases.

We are using the Twitter hashtag #iodgc (the gc is for "global conference").

For those that physically in the building, be sure to stop by the booths listed below that are showing service management solutions.

Booth 602-07 IBM Tivoli Security for zEnterprise
 Tivoli Integrated Service Management on System zEnterprise provides effective a single-point of management, regardless of domain, application or complexity. These demonstrations highlight how to: Manage heterogeneous environments as a single entity to provide flexibility and value for the business.

Booth 602-08 IBM Tivoli Integrated Service Management for zEnterprise
 IBM Tivoli Security for zEnterprise solutions help to centralize and automate the security management of mainframe and consolidated Linux for System z environments. It includes Tivoli zSecure, Tivoli Security Management for z/OS, and Tivoli Identity and Access Assurance, which helps clients manage risk, reduce costs, demonstrate compliance, and address complexity.

Booth 702-07 IBM Storage and Security Solutions

Thank you for the kind words, Lia! I hope this party inspires others to celebrate in style! With just a little extra time and a few basic supplies, any simple occasion can look beautiful and personalized.
I can taste that caramel corn now! Mmmmm! The recipe is by Annie's Eats and works perfectly every time. For the 4th, I may set out mix-ins like candy, pretzels, and melted chocolate or peanut butter sauce so guests can create their own custom caramel corn mix. A perfect portable treat for watching the fireworks! 🙂

Hi, I am 6'4'' 280 lb (down from 310 up from 260 heading to 220.... and a bit of a newbie) and am looking to replace my Jamis Aragon with a CX bike that will better suit my riding habits. I have looked at the aluminum Cannondales, Kona's and Brodies and the steel Surly and Soma's. I have been favouring the Surly of Soma b/c I have been impressed by the LBSs that have carried them and like that they are not so tubey looking. I have about 1200 CAD to spend (1000 USD)
My question is will there be too much flex in the steel while climbing or not?
I also get the feeling that LBSs are pushing me at 58 size bikes b/c that is what they happen to have and it can be made to fit. I would prefer having the biggest bike I can ride and not have to have seat stem fully extended...is this reasonable thinking.
Really appreciate some perspectives. Thanks

Install was easy. It definitely makes a whistling sound which varies with throttle position. I don't notice a power change. As of right now (about 2 weeks) my truck is recording about a .5 MPG increase. Not sure this will remain.

It arrived in the amount of time they said, and it was a direct replacement and it came with filter cleaner. Definitely runs smoother and breaths a lot better. Definitely recommend if your filter needs to be replaced.

I don't think this is a problem Indy wants to have. There's no guarantee Peyton wants to stick around with Luck in the background. If Indy picks Luck he might say trade me right now. As appealling as Andrew Luck sounds it's asking them to slam the door in their iconic quarterback's face. We did it with Montana. It's something they have to do eventually, but I don't think they're quite ready to do it yet.
You play Peyton in December it's playing to avoid to that top spot, because I can guarantee there's going to be teams with 1 or 2 losses who just completely quit.

This columns program works well, but does not provide wysiwyg verification for the 2nd (of two) columns when editing a page. I use Text Editor rather than Visual Editor (I do understand HTML - which makes that easier) and then keep a copy of my website open in a separate tab, refreshing it as I Update in the editor to make sure things look as I planned. So far that works fine for me, but I'm sorry to say the Visual Editor looks a mess for column 2.
My webpage is http://www.bedetrial.org/
and so far I've used Easy Columns only on the front (home) page.
The issue described above may be because of my use of images and tables within the 2nd column (which appears as the middle column when you take into account the sidebar on the right which appears to be a third column.)

Update Notes
Updated on: 03/29/2016
Since we last visited AsianBoyNation...
Asian Boy Nation is dedicated to that part of the globe where almost every man seems to resemble the smooth, lean and hairless ideal of the gay world. Having said that, there are definitely some guys here who are more than just slim, with taut biceps and defined abs. Not to mention that some of these fellows also boast round, defined pecs as firm and perky as their tight, sweet asses.
On AsianBoyNation, you can rate and comment on every scene and keep track of all your favorites. The photo section is less straightforward than the movie section, though, because it also contains a handful of vid cap galleries. But the thumbnails help you differentiate between them and the actual photos.
Once you check out the 190 or so photo galleries you'll discover a wide range of countries being represented. There are not only boys from China, Japan, Thailand, Taiwan and other Asian nations, but they're also often matched with Europeans, Latinos and other bi-cultural exchanges. The pics are often high-res and you can download all your favorite galleries in Zip folders.
There are also 119 videos that you can stream in an embedded player and download. The older ones come in a Windows Media format and two MP4s. The newer scenes don't let you download WMVs, only MP4s, but at least those more recent scenes give you HD playback.
There hasn't been an update in about nine months at this point. I will say that some of the last ones added are also some of the hottest ones. The show a series of scenes entitled "Dirty Dares" and a group of super hunky Asian dudes messing around together, both pairing off into daring couples and having gay group sex.
The flicks are sorted chronologically by default, but you can change that to organize them by top rated or most viewed. There aren't any bonus sites, but there are a handful of bonus videos starring hunky gay guys and a few streaming gay feeds. They aren't all Asian-themed, though.
Asian Boy Nation has a decent amount of high-quality material with hot studs, so it's a pretty good deal overall. Also, the majority of the content is exclusive. Watch out for that download limit, though.
* Please include a pro and a con about the site. Balance is essential in making a comment worthwhile. Scores without comments will be deleted.
* Watch out for ratings of zero and 100. In our opinion, there is no such thing as a site that is absolutely perfect or completely worthless.

I've created a spreadsheet for my boxes which I'm packing for my move, and I'm wondering if my math is correct.
What I've done is to measure each box in inches and divide each inch measurement by 12.
So if a box is 10 inches*12 inches*16 inches that would be 0.833 feet*1 feet*1.333 feet
Then I multipled those numbers together to come up with the cubic feet for that particular box: 1.11111 cubic feet.
And then I added all those cubic feet numbers together to come up with the total cubic feet. So let's say 30 boxes of that size would be 33.33 cubic feet.
Is that right?

|Police say they've identified the man in this security camera footage from a Beverly Hills convenience store as Marcel Mackabee, who has been arrested for the murder of medical marijuana distributor Philip Williamson.
Marcel Mackabee on Tuesday was charged with one count of murder, and his wife, Rosemary Sayegh, was charged as an accessory in the shooting death of Philip Victor Williamson, according to police, reports Greg Mellen at the Long Beach Press-Telegram.
Robbery was the motive for Williamson's murder, according to police, who said the victim may have had $500,000 and seven pounds of marijuana at the time of his death.
More arrests are expected, according to police.
The couple, both of Granada Hills, were arrested over the weekend. Sayegh, 32, was apprehended in Granada Hills and his wife Mackabee, 29, was arrested in Chico.
|Photo: OC Weekly
|Philip Victor Williamson, 29, was gunned down in a Long Beach alleyway.
Mackabee is being held on $1 million bail and Sayegh on $500,000. Both are scheduled to return to Long Beach Superior Court on Tuesday.
Williamson, 29, was gunned down in an alleyway off the 1500 block of Pine Avenue in downtown Long Beach, according to police.
Long Beach Police Department homicide detectives learned that Williamson, who lived in Los Angeles, delivered marijuana grown in Chico throughout the L.A. area.
The murder was committed for the sole purpose of robbery, police believe.
Williamson was found about 10:30 p.m. on March 24 by police, suffering from a gunshot wound to his upper body. He died less than 24 hours later from his injuries.
Long Beach police said they traveled to Chico several times for evidence during their investigation. That led to a tip that Williamson was seen with a man in a black Toyota 4Runner around the time of his death.
Security camera footage from a Beverly Hills convenience store showed a man in a black sweatshirt and black pants making a purchase and leaving in a black Toyota 4Runner on the day Williamson was murdered. A receipt from that store was found in the victim's home.
Police now say the man in black was Mackabee, and that the receipt was his.
In late July, police traveled to Chico and Granada HIlls with search warrants and later made the arrests; the investigation is ongoing.
Sayegh was arrested Friday, and her husband, Mackasbee, was arrested on Saturday in connection with Williamson's killing, reports My FOX LA.
The marijuana and cash have not been recovered, according to police.
A $10,000 reward offered by the L.A. County Supervisors' Office has "generated information," according to police, but they still want help from the public.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Detectives Scott Lasch and Donald Goodman at 562-570-7244. Anonymous tips may be submitted at www.tipsoft.com.

The graduate recruitment center, also known as "GRC" in the Novo Nordisk language of abbreviations, is right around the corner! Congratulations to those of you who has made it so far.
I remember thinking last year, what should I prepare and what should I bring? Well let me give you a few tips on how to prepare and pack for the GRC!
The elements for success when packing your "bag" for the GRC:
1. Your Notes and preparation
While you are not asked to prepare anything in particular for the GRC, I would highly recommend that you do your research. By that I mean, do read up on Novo Nordisk, perhaps read the newly released annual report and get a feel for the pharmaceutical industry. Secondly, by preparation and notes I also mean your own "presentation" – you can expect to network and meet several people who will expect to hear who you are in a short 1 minute pitch. You will also have the opportunity to meet a lot of current graduates and employees, use this time to ask what it is like working at Novo Nordisk and prepare those questions you would like to know. This is not only your chance to pitch yourself, but also to get to know what it is like working at Novo Nordisk and see whether this could be something for you.
2. Time keeping – bring your watch!
The GRC is quite full of activities and each of you will get an individual schedule for you to keep with you and coordinate your various events throughout the GRC. Don't worry, we even have a map for you prepared so you can find your way around and be on time. That said, you will participate in several events and tasks that require some timekeeping. Secondly, time goes fast and you will be very tired by the end of the first day – so do make sure to get a lot of rest the day before so you are ready and rested.
3. Your best shoes!
Now this does not mean you will do a lot of walking, and you should of course be comfortable, but I do advice to remember this is a job interview. Several ladies have already asked, should I wear heels? Well, wear what is comfortable to you, but I would if I was in your shoes :)
4. Talk, talk and contribute
When you reach the GRC, you will already to an extend have had the opportunity to present yourself and your personality, and while this is still very essential for succeeding – another very important aspect at the GRC is your teamwork and how you collaborate with others. Expect to work in teams and get to know the other applicants and possibly future colleagues.
All in all, the GRC is a very challenging, fun and exciting experience that either way will be a great learning experience. So when you roll in with your suitcase or bag, have fun and enjoy that you have made it this far! :)
See you there!

Employee participation programs, group-based incentives, and company performance: A union-nonunion comparison
This analysis examines whether union representation positively or negatively influences the effectiveness of employee participation programs and group-based incentives in improving firm performance. Examined at the firm level, a model of the independent and interaction effects of participation, profit and gain sharing, and union representation is estimated against data on 841 manufacturing firms in Michigan in 1989. The evidence indicates that employee participation programs contributed substantially more to performance in unionized firms than in nonunion firms, whereas profit and gain sharing programs contributed substantially more to performance in nonunion firms than in unionized firms.

The Battles for Spotsylvania Court House and the Road to Yellow Tavern, May 7-12, 1864
Furgurson, Ernest B., The Virginia Magazine of History and Biography
The Battles for Spotsylvania Court House and the Road to Yellow Tavern, May 7-12, 1864. By GORDON C. RHEA. Baton Rouge and London: Louisiana State University Press, 1997. xii, 483 pp. $34.95.
WITH a steady focus that suggests U. S. Grant's drive from the Rapidan toward Richmond, Gordon C. Rhea continues marching south in his multivolume study of the unprecedentedly bloody Virginia campaign of 1864. As Grant did then, Rhea has laid extensive groundwork: His earlier book, The Battle of the Wilderness, May 5-6, 1864 (Baton Rouge and London, 1994), was as complete and authoritative as any book on that opening battle of the campaign. And like Grant's logistical backup, Rhea's material base is formidable: In this work on Spotsylvania Court House, 327 pages of text are supported by 133 pages of appendices, notes, and sources, plus thirty detailed maps.
Unlike Grant, however, from this distance the author can analyze clearly the flaws that promptly earned the new Union general in chief a reputation as "butcher" of his own troops (p. 6). In the sustained fighting that began in early May at the Wilderness and ran through Cold Harbor in early June, Grant lost close to 50,000 men-almost as many as R. E. Lee had in his whole army to begin the campaign. But that was not because of some innate bloodthirstiness; Grant in fact hated the sight of blood. The most serious contributing factor in his losses that spring and summer may have been his faulty chain of command, a weakness that Rhea points out at the beginning and end of this exemplary work.
Arriving from the West to take command of all Union armies, Grant had decided to make his headquarters not in Washington, but in the field. Thus from the moment the Army of the Potomac crossed the Rapidan and headed into the Wilderness, he was looking over the shoulder of its nominal commander, George G. Meade, which soon made Meade "cross as a bear" (p. 221). The result was confusion of responsibility, sluggish execution of orders, failure of reconnaissance, oversimplification of commands as they made their way down to the front lines-and, repeatedly, horrendous casualties. …

Chapter 10: Periodic Motion
Difficulty Level: At Grade Created by: CK-12
Periodic motion is any motion that repeats itself. This chapter covers a particular case of such called simple harmonic motion - for motion back and forth in a straight line such as a pendulum. The properties of simple harmonic motion include the basics of wave properties.
Chapter Outline
Chapter Summary
- The projection of uniform circular motion onto a straight line is called simple harmonic motion(SHM); it is the simplest form of periodic motion.
- An object performing SHM must have a restoring force upon it that seeks to return it to its equilibrium position which is directly proportional to the object's displacement; that is where the negative sign indicates that the restoring force and displacement are oppositely directed and is a constant of proportionality.
- The period for a mass on a spring is where the spring is constant is .
- The frequency is or
- The period of a simple pendulum of length is where the gravitational acceleration is .
- Waves transmit energy but not mass.
- Longitudinal waves occur when vibrations are parallel to wave direction.
- Transverse waves occur when vibrations are perpendicular to the wave direction.
- Reflection occurs when waves bounce off one medium back into the medium they originated from.
- Refraction occurs when waves bend entering one medium from the other.
- Diffraction occurs when waves spread out and when waves bend behind objects.
