We are all concerned about this past weekend's mass casualty shooting in Orlando. While most of us are many miles away from the site, we all want to find ways to respond positively to this event. Thanks to Chris Burgess for sharing resources on behavioral health following incidents of mass violence from SAMSHA, the Disaster Distress Helpline, and other organizations.
We'd like to remind you that the National Library of Medicine has a multitude of resources as well, that can be shared with the general public, or with healthcare professionals treating mass casualty patients, or first responders on the scene. If you are not actively responding to Orlando, consider sharing the resources from Chris' email and from this one so that when/if they are needed, they will be ready to use.

Why:This free presentation is intended for all medical educators and librarians who are involved in developing and supporting information resources and textbooks in the medical curriculum. The webinar is sponsored by the Libraries in Medical Education SIG of the Western Group on Educational Affairs.
What:The Open Educational Resources movement is transforming how knowledge is generated, shared, curated, and incorporated into the educational process. This 60 minute webinar presents two speakers who are actively involved in developing and promoting new open access tools for medical education.
Title: Applying learning science to medical education
Background: Dr. Rishi Desai, MD, MPH, is a pediatric infectious disease physician at Stanford University with a public health background who currently serves as the Chief Medical Officer at Osmosis and recently led Khan Academy Medicine. Osmosis is a personalized learning engine for medical students and clinicians uses a continuous mastery model and reaches over 40,000 medical students. Khan Academy is an online, not-for-profit, educational platform that reaches ~15 million unique users per month and offers a free world class education to anyone, anywhere.
Title: Teaching the essentials of child and adolescent mental health (CAMH) around the world amidst a global shortage of clinician educators
Background: Dr. Julie Chilton is a child psychiatrist, Assistant Clinical Professor at the Yale Child Study Center, and an Associate Editor of the IACAPAP e-Textbook of Child and Adolescent Mental Health. Since 2011, the free online e-textbook of child and adolescent mental health has reached more than 170,000 readers worldwide. It is a learning tool created by the International Association of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and Allied Professions (IACAPAP) and was written by international experts from 5 continents. In low and middle income countries, especially, educational resources are less plentiful and child psychiatrists (where they exist) are scarce. The IACAPAP Online Textbook aims to provide a virtual curriculum in areas where resources to teach CAMH are currently unable to meet the need of caring for the world's children.

SAN FRANCISCO, CA -- (Marketwired) -- 05/23/13 -- Unity Technologies, provider of the Unity multi-platform engine and development tools, announced upcoming support for the open source Tizen mobile operating system. The deployment tools currently under development will allow Unity's massive community of developers to build and publish games to Tizen OS smartphones and tablets via the Tizen Store later this year.
Unity, which combines a high-powered engine and deep yet intuitive editor, takes the pain out of development by making the transition between platforms as easy as a click of a button. Supporting Tizen furthers Unity's quest to empower developers to deploy their games to as many platforms as possible, allowing creators to focus their energy on designing the best and most entertaining experiences.
Tizen, an open source operating system based around the Linux kernel and WebKit runtime, is supported by the Tizen Association, an organization made up of electronics industry mainstays looking to create a standard operating system that can be used across various types of devices including smartphones, tablets, Smart TVs, and in-vehicle infotainment systems.
"Unity and Tizen have a lot in common in that they both aim to make the creation and the deployment of games and other apps as easy as possible for developers," said David Helgason, CEO, Unity Technologies. "Tizen's broad OEM support and big market potential will provide another excellent avenue for our amazing community of mobile developers to find success."
"Games are one of the driving forces behind smartphone and tablet adoption," says Royichi Sugimura, Chairman of Tizen Association. "Unity support for Tizen OS ensures a huge number of talented developers making some of the most entertaining games have an efficient and powerful channel to publish their titles to Tizen Store."
Work has already begun to build Tizen deployment tools for the award winning and industry leading Unity game development engine and editor. The first Tizen-operated devices are scheduled to be released later this year and a selection of Unity-authored titles will be available at launch with the aid of Unity's game distribution channels. Fully supported deployment tools enabling Unity's massive developer community to publish their games to the Tizen Store for use on Tizen devices will follow in late 2013.

State of the Art: Linux Audio 2008, Part II
In this second part of my survey of Linux audio development, I focus on the application side of things. I would have liked to have included many other tools and applications, but time and space always are in short supply. So, my apologies if your favorite program isn't listed; feel free to let me know what you think I'm missing.
People coming to Linux from the Windows/Mac world of commercial sound and music software might think they've stepped backward in time. Linux audio and MIDI production software usually is not as visually attractive as the rainbow of products advertised in the major music magazines, but most musicians will agree that the sound is the thing. In that regard, Linux can stand tall and even can claim some colorful packages of its own.
ALSA supplies command-line utilities for simple recording and playback of audio and MIDI. These tools (arecord/aplay and arecordmidi/aplaymidi) are useful for quick uncomplicated purposes, and most distributions provide GUIs to ease their use. At the next level, LMMS (Linux MultiMedia Studio; Figure 1) and Jokosher are good examples of desktop music production software designed in the manner of Apple's popular Garage Band. They engage the user quickly with colorful uncomplicated GUIs, but they are quite powerful within their design constraints. Both programs are in current development and have active communities of users and developers. Wouter Boeke's AMUC (Amsterdam Music Composer) is another less-weighty program that includes many attractions for the desktop composer, including an integrated synthesizer, notation capability and very light resource requirements.
Ardour dominates the professional-grade category of serious recording tools for Linux. Paul Davis continues to lead Ardour's programming team, and the project remains one of the finest examples of Linux audio software development. Ardour 2.5 is a mature application, and the developing Ardour 3.0 promises to bring the program to a new level, thanks especially to Dave Robillard's work on its new MIDI recording and editing capabilities. No strict timetable exists for Ardour's releases, and I certainly can't predict when 3.0 will make its public debut. However, Ardour's development track record is well defined, with a consistent series of releases, so I hope we may see it before year's end. Of course, SVN sources are available to anyone who wants to test the cutting edge while waiting for the public release.
Smaller but still powerful alternatives are available. Rui Nuno Capels' QTractor is a multitrack/multichannel DAW (digital audio workstation) with a design similar to the portable studios in the digital audio hardware world. QTractor also distinguishes itself by its support for natively compiled Linux VST plugins, along with the usual complement of LADSPA and DSSI plugins. Remon Sijrier's Traverso employs a highly efficient interface, is very easy to use and provides a complete production system, from recording your first tracks to burning an audio CD.
Kai Vehmanen's Ecasound occupies a unique position in the Linux audio software world. Ecasound is a command-line DAW, a complete audio recording and processing solution that requires no graphics displays. It runs in an interactive mode or can be driven by user-composed scripts; it is fully JACK-aware; it records in multichannel modes—the list of Ecasound's capabilities stretches on and on. Ecasound is a long-lived project, and I'm happy to report it's still developed and maintained by its original author.
Fervent Software's Rosegarden is another venerable Linux music application with a long and healthy development track. Rosegarden always has supported common-practice notation as a composer's interface, and its developers now plan to strengthen that interface further. Given its JACK support, there's little need for Rosegarden to repeat all the duties of a DAW, and it's a win for notation-based composers to have their notation-based GUI JACK-sync'd to the DAW of their choice.
Developer Werner Schweer has moved his MusE audio/MIDI sequencer in the opposite direction—he has removed its notation interface and refocused that code into the MuseScore program (see below). Meanwhile, MusE continues to evolve as a dedicated audio/MIDI sequencer, and version 1.0 is currently in alpha release.

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

Tyler Glasnow warmed up before Friday's game and could tell he didn't have his best command. Coming off his worst start in recent weeks, he knew he had to to compensate for the control issues once he took the mound at McKechnie Field.
And while he issued four walks, the Pirates' top prospect did just that, allowing two hits over six scoreless innings as Class A Advanced Bradenton held on for a 3-2 win over visiting Brevard County.
"Today probably wasn't my best day. I know the stat line looked pretty good, but I was struggling a little with control," he said. "[I had to] try to live in the moment, just go out there, look at the glove and let it go."
After a perfect first inning, MLB.com's No. 20 overall prospect walked Michael Reed in the second. The Brewers' No. 13 prospect stole second to put Glasnow in his first jam of the night.
"It was time to focus," he said. "Leadoff walks are always -- I don't like those at all, of course," he said. "I really had to bear down [and] not change anything."
With the mind-set of treating every moment the same, the 20-year-old right-hander struck out Cameron Garfield. Reed moved to third with his 29th stolen base of the season, but Glasnow fanned Victor Roache -- Milwaukee's 10th-ranked prospect -- and Mike Garza to whiff to end the threat.
The California native walked Brandon Macias in the third and made an errant pickoff attempt to put him in scoring position. He issued another free pass to Michael Reed in the fourth but didn't allow a hit until the fifth when Garza singled, inducing six popouts along the way.
"I knew, but it wasn't like, 'Don't give up a hit,'" Glasnow said of the no-hitter. "I was just throwing in the zone. I can't really control what happens after that."
Glasnow struggled with command issues early in the season but was improving of late, averaging 1.9 walks in his previous 12 starts.
"It had been a while since I had struggled with control," he said. "This start and last start, I didn't really feel that great."
After a personal three-game winning streak, the 2011 fifth-round pick began his last start with three perfect innings, then yielded three runs -- two earned -- on four hits and four walks over the next 2 1/3 frames at Lakeland.
Glasnow (8-5) tried to put that outing behind him, something with which he struggled when he was younger and something that's preached in the Pirates system.
"They like a pitcher who can move on and roll with the punches," he said. "I'm just taking each start one at a time; I forgot about that start pretty fast after it was done."
Ryan Hafner allowed one hit over two scoreless innings and Josh Smith surrendered two runs in the ninth before recording his fifth save.
The Marauders staked their starter to an early lead as Eric Wood delivered an RBI single in the first and Jose Osuna lifted a sacrifice fly in the second.

U.S. Hostage's Mother Pleads for His Release
Published: Wednesday, August 27, 2014 at 12:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, August 28, 2014 at 12:46 a.m.
BEIRUT | The mother of a hostage American journalist pleaded for his release Wednesday in a video directed at the Islamic State group, while new images emerged of mass killings, including masked militants shooting kneeling men after the capture of a strategic air base in Syria.
Shirley Sotloff's plea came as a U.N. commission accused the group, which dominates a broad swath of territory spanning the Syria-Iraq border, of committing crimes against humanity and President Barack Obama weighs options for targeting the extremists' stronghold in Syria.
The Islamic State militants have threatened to kill 31-year-old Steven Sotloff unless the U.S. halts its airstrikes against it.
Sotloff, who free-lanced for Time and Foreign Policy magazines, had last been seen in Syria in August 2013 until he appeared in a video released online last week by the Islamic State group showing the beheading of fellow American journalist, James Foley. Dressed in an orange jumpsuit against the backdrop of an arid Syrian landscape, Sotloff was threatened with death unless the U.S. stopped airstrikes on the group in Iraq.
Addressing the leader of the Islamic State by name, Shirley Sotloff said her son was "an innocent journalist" who shouldn't pay for U.S. government actions in the Middle East over which he has no control.
Speaking directly to Islamic State leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, who describes himself as a caliph, or Islamic leader intending to lead the Muslim world, she implored him to show mercy and follow the example of the prophet Muhammad.
"You, the caliph, can grant amnesty. I ask you, please, to release my child. I ask you to use your authority to spare his life," Shirley Sotloff said on the video, which was first aired on the Al-Arabiya television network. It was widely retweeted by Islamic State supporters later Wednesday with her face blurred because their ultra-conservative interpretation of Islam doesn't allow a woman's face to be shown.
At the White House, spokesman Josh Earnest told reporters he did not know whether Obama had seen Shirley Sotloff's video appeal, but he said the administration was "deeply engaged" in trying to gain release of all Americans held hostage in the Middle East.
"She obviously, as is evident from the video, feels desperate about the safety and well-being of her son, and understandably so, and that is why our thoughts and prayers are with Mr. Sotloff's family at this very difficult and trying time," Earnest said.
A U.N. commission in Geneva, meanwhile, accused the Islamic State group of committing crimes against humanity with attacks on civilians, and photos emerged of the extremists' bloody takeover of a Syrian military air base.
In one photo posted online, masked gunmen were seen shooting seven men kneeling on the ground, some dressed in what appeared to be Syrian military uniforms, after the seizure of the Tabqa air base in the northeastern Syrian province of Raqqa earlier this week.
The 36 photos and video images corresponded to reporting by The Associated Press of the Islamic State militants' seizure Sunday of the air base, which had been the last government-held outpost in Raqqa, a province now dominated by the jihadi group. Militants also captured the the bases' weaponry, including artillery and mounted machine guns.
The images underscored how the group uses violence, and images of violence to terrorize its opponents, as it sweeps further into Syria and Iraq, where it has imposed an Islamic state, or caliphate, governed by its harsh interpretation of Islamic law.
Some photos showed captured Syrian soldiers, some with bloodied and swollen faces. In one, a masked Islamic State fighter stood behind a group of soldiers brandishing a knife of the type the militants have used is the past to behead victims, including Foley. In another, a militant grinned as he pressed a double-edged sword against the neck of a captured soldier inside a jeep.
One photograph showed a headless corpse, while another showed 10 slain men, sprawled in a pool of blood on a dirt road. It wasn't clear whether they were killed after fighting or during clashes. Video uploaded to social media networks of the battle showed the charred bodies of Syrian soldiers as Islamic music played in the background.
The images emerged as a U.N. commission on Wednesday accused the group of committing crimes against humanity in Syria. The U.N. had earlier accused the group of similar crimes in Iraq.
"This is a continuation — and a geographic expansion — of the widespread and systematic attack on the civilian population" by the Islamic State group, said the four-member commission chaired by Brazilian diplomat Paulo Sergio Pinheiro.
Pinheiro told reporters one of the most disturbing findings was the existence of large training camps where boys, some as young as 14, are recruited and trained to fight alongside adult Islamic State fighters.
The report, based on 480 interviews and documentary material, cited dozens of public executions in Aleppo and Raqqa during the bloody Syrian civil war that activists say has killed more than 190,000 people since 2011.
The report cited how the group's fighters have beheaded or shot civilians, mostly adult men, accused of violating their harsh interpretation of religious law, as crowds of people, including children, have looked on. The purpose, according to the commission, is "to instill terror among the population, ensuring submission to its authority."
On Monday, U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay said Islamic State fighters had likely killed up to 670 prisoners in Mosul. Pillay described other crimes that she said amounted to "grave, horrific human rights violations."
In its push to seize parts of northern Iraq, Islamic State fighters most recently caused the expulsion of tens of thousands of civilians who scrambled for safety on a desolate mountain top, where some died of exposure and thirst. The civilians, who belong to Iraq's ancient Yazidi minority, also reported that dozens of women were seized by the fighters and were being kept in schools in Islamic State strongholds. Their fate is unknown.

I've been wondering about this for some time. In CouchDB we have some fairly log IDs...eg:
Now if we're searching for this item and going through the tree structure created by the view. It seems a simple integer as an id would be much faster. If we used 64bit integers it would be a simple CMP followed by a JMP (assuming that the Erlang code was using JIT, but you get my point).
For strings, I assume we generate a hash off the ID or something, but at some point we have to do a character compare on all 33 characters...won't that affect performance?

Spain Tries To Preempt the Conditionality Debate
Many observers agree that Spain has the rest of the euro area, specifically paymaster Germany, over a barrel: if it were to leave the common currency in order to inflate itself back to prosperity, as ruinous as such a decision would likely prove to be, it would probably precipitate the end of the euro.
This is apparently also the opinion of Spain's government. After having dawdled since the GFC and having failed to seriously deal with its insolvent banks and the implementation of a rigorous economic reform program, the Rajoy government now is trying to preempt the ECB by issuing demands regarding the shape and form of its upcoming bailout.
As Reuters reports:
"The European Central Bank must take forceful and unlimited steps to buy sovereign debt to help Spain reduce its refinancing costs and eliminate doubts over the euro zone's future, Spain's economy minister said in comments published on Saturday.
"There can be no limit set or at least (the ECB) can't say how much they will use or for how long," when it buys bonds in the secondary markets, Luis de Guindos told Spanish news agency EFE.
The Spanish government will study the details of the ECB's debt-buying program, which are likely to be outlined before the Eurogroup meeting mid-September, before making a decision on applying for more European aid, de Guindos said.
In response to a renewed intensification of the debt crisis, ECB President Mario Draghi said on August 2 the ECB may buy more government bonds, but only once countries had turned to the bloc's rescue funds for help and agreed to strict conditions.
"I believe Spain has presented its budget adjustment program and its structural reforms, which from a general point of view, have been accepted as sufficient and appropriate," de Guindos said."
(emphasis added)
In other words, what they want is an unlimited bailout in the form of central bank buying of their bonds (naturally this is will be done with money created ex nihilo), with absolutely no conditions attached, on the grounds that the steps taken thus far are already more than enough. This is obviously an opening gambit to the upcoming talks in mid September, designed to make it perfectly clear to those insisting on conditionality that Spain doesn't intend to give up control over its fiscal policy in exchange for the bailout.
There have been several occasions when Spain has had its way in the past – recall for instance the EU's back-pedaling on the deficit targets. Very likely a lively debate took place behind closed doors, garnished with threats.
At the same time, German news magazine Der Spiegel reported on a putative ECB plan to set caps on peripheral interest rates (which once again would only work if the central bank threatened to engage in unlimited buying of the debt concerned). This was immediately denied by the ECB itself, with the somewhat cryptic remark that it was "absolutely misleading to report on decisions which have not yet been taken and also on individual views, which have not yet been discussed by the ECB's governing council".
The remark is cryptic because it is not a clear no – however the German government let it be known that it too was unaware of such a plan, with a finance ministry spokesman saying that "In purely theoretical, abstract terms, such an instrument would certainly be very problematic. But I know of no proposal along these lines".
In 'purely theoretical, abstract terms'?
Then the German Bundesbank chimed in via its monthly report, reiterating its opposition to all kinds of sovereign bond buying by the ECB, regardless of 'conditionality' and whatnot. Some of the words from the Bundesbank's missive are worth quoting:
"Decisions on whether to share solvency risks much more widely should be taken by governments and parliaments."
"The Bundesbank holds to its opinion that government bond purchases by the Eurosystem in particular are to be seen critically and are linked to considerable risks to stability."
Moreover, "moves to create a single euro-zone banking regulator, as envisaged by the European Commission, shouldn't transfer solvency risks among member states via aid for banks."
It couldn't be any clearer that Jens Weidmann is almost as implacably opposed to the central bank straying into the fiscal realm as his predecessor Axel Weber was. The big question is whether this means he will simply continue to be outvoted at the ECB, or whether Germany's political leadership is already sawing on the limb he has climbed out on. Although German ECB board member Jörg Asmussen insists that "Nobody should try to create the impression that the Bundesbank or its president are isolated", Weidmann sure does look isolated at this point.
The rumors and denials yanked both interest rates and stock markets to and fro in European trading on Monday – which is actually business as usual in the euro area.

Spain's NPL's Soar, Banks Run Out of Collateral
Meanwhile, now that it has been decided that the euro area's bailout mechanisms will pay for the clean-up of the Spanish banking system, NPL's have begun to jump higher in a rather impressive increment and have finally reached the long expected all time high, clocking in at 9.42% of all outstanding loans as of June.

Concurrently, the borrowings of Spain's banks from the ECB have soared to a new all time high of €411 billion as at the end of July – and the banks have now finally run out of collateral to pledge. Reuters reports that 'Spanish banks are next for a Greek-style ECB shakedown', in reference to the growing use of 'ELA' (emergency liquidity assistance) en lieu of normal ECB funding.
In this manner the ECB shifts the risks back to the Bank of Spain and ultimately the sovereign – in theory, anyway. One should not lose sight of the fact that what the Bank of Spain does when it extends ELA funding is that it prints euros and not pesetas. Therefore it would be more realistic to call this a risk borne by all users of the euro, as a future write-off of the assets the BoS gets in return for extending these funds could potentially leave the newly printed money stranded in the economy. These assets are little more than IOU's issued by the banks themselves, although sometimes imbued with a government guarantee. In Greece's case the guarantee is issued by an insolvent government. In Spain the same could soon be the case.
Something that is often overlooked when discussing Spain's NPL's as a percentage of outstanding loans is how big the credit bubble actually was and how much bigger therefore the amounts involved are compared to the 1994 peak in NPL's. This can give us an idea what the only just beginning deleveraging phase of the credit bubble will actually entail. Not to forget, NPL's remain a moving target, as both residential and commercial real estate prices continue to decline. As the FT reports, transaction volumes in commercial property markets in both Italy and Spain have collapsed by over 90% in just the past three months.

Private Sector Credit Growth Goes into Reverse, Bank Balance Sheets Expand Anyway
The credit bubble in Spain has finally begun to deflate – private sector bank credit growth has turned negative in recent months. It may be a long and thorny road before the deleveraging process is finished.
As of June, the cumulative decline in private sector loans stood at €54.3 billion (via the WSJ)
To put this decline in private sector credit into perspective relative to the amount of credit extended during the boom, a look at a long term chart is once again instructive:
Total bank credit extended to the private sector in Spain – as can be seen, the 1993-1994 credit crisis did not lead to any deleveraging at all. This time, things are different and given the likelihood that up to a quarter of the credit outstanding is unsound, there may be a long way to go indeed (chart via Querschüsse.de) – click chart for better resolution.
Interestingly though, the balance sheets of Spain's banks have not shrunk – instead they have actually reached a new all time high in June. How can this be explained? The only reasonable explanation we can think of is that Spain's banks have bought so many government bonds this year that the extension of credit to the government has handily exceeded the negative growth in private sector credit.
Spain's bank assets in total now amount to over 400% of nominal GDP, having risen to €4.33 billion in total.

Investors Are Hearing What They Want to Hear
In his weekly missive John Hussman has pointed out in the context of Angela Merkel recently reiterating her support for the ECB's plan, 'investors have stopped actually listening for fact, and are increasingly hearing only what they want to hear'.
If you still require proof that in the short term, market action is driven by perceptions and sentiment rather than reality, here it is. It is worth quoting again what Mrs. Merkel said in Ottawa in toto:
"The European Central Bank, although it is of course independent, is completely in line with what we've said all along. And the results of the meeting of the central bank and their decisions, actually shows that the European Central Bank is counting on political action in the form of conditionality as the precondition for a positive development of the Euro."
(emphasis added)
Does this sound like 'unlimited bond buying without preconditions' to anyone? No? Investors seemed to think that is what it meant. We see no painless way out for Spain, regardless of what ultimately happens. Even if the ECB were to act without conditionality or limits, it could not possibly alter the underlying solvency problems – and this isn't going to happen anyway. So what are markets currently pricing in? Everybody seems quite certain of a happy end at the moment. The bet is that massive central bank intervention is heading our way in the near future and will boost asset prices further. This is a mindset that has very likely set up the markets for disappointment.

Hollande Threatens to Ban Protests Brexit has diverted attention from another little drama playing out in Europe.

Man stabbed to death after party at Hilton
COSTA MESA – A New Year's Eve party attended by more than 1,000 at a hotel turned fatal when a fight broke out in the parking lot after the event, resulting in the stabbing death of a Mission Viejo man and the arrest of his alleged assailant, police said.
Robert Sickles, 27, was pronounced dead after being transported to a hospital after the 1:57 a.m. brawl outside the Hilton Orange County/Costa Mesa, 3050 Bristol St.
Brian McTeigue, 26, of Mission Viejo also was stabbed but survived, police said.
Adam Baker, 23, of Dana Point, is being held on $1 million bail on suspicion of murder and attempted murder.
Costa Mesa police already were on the scene handling "other disturbances" when the bloody fight broke out, Lt. Bryan Glass said.
"As individuals dispersed, it was discovered that Sickles and McTeigue had been stabbed during the fight," Glass said in a statement.
Both men were transported to Western Medical Center in Santa Ana, where Sickles was pronounced dead upon arrival. He had been stabbed in the chest.
McTeigue sustained a stab wound to the back.
Baker was injured as witnesses detained him, Glass said. He was transferred to Mission Hospital in Mission Viejo for treatment.
No other details of the alleged homicide were available. The investigation is ongoing.
Anyone with information about the incident is asked to call Costa Mesa Det. Kevin Condon at (714) 754-5361 or Sgt. Ed Everett at (714) 754-5395.
The killing occurred following a party called "New Year's Eve OC," for people ages 21 and over. The event was advertised for the "upscale crowd," with multiple party areas, a VIP lounge and a variety of music including Top 40, hip-hop and trance.
The event web site said there was room for up to 5,000 revelers at the Hilton on Friday night, with party favors for the first 2,500 guests and free champagne from 8 to 10 p.m.

The white tents don't cast a shadow. Because they are placed directly over white tiling (and because they, being R/S/E tiles, use a slightly different perspective than the FR/LG tiles), they look flat as a result.
Tile errors run rampant on the north coast. You used the wrong tile to connect the upper-edge cliff tiles to the upper-corner cliff tiles, and in exactly two cases you didn't connect them at all.
A similar tile error appears on the pond near the southern edge of the town. For shallow shorelines of that sort, upper-edge cliff tiles blend to side-edge shore tiles just fine; you need not use a special tile.
The isolated building in the water looks implausible. A perfectly-square landmass exactly the size of the building is unlikely to occur naturally, yet it makes no sense for the landmass to be artificially constructed (why not connect it to the island, or just build the structure on the island to begin with?).
