AbstractThis Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Phase II project will develop a microphone for the test and measurement (T & M) market that utilizes piezoelectric microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) technology. During Phase I of this project, feasibility was demonstrated by building and testing a microphone with the necessary performance for this market. Specifically, this microphone has a noise floor that is 10 times lower than any piezoelectric MEMS microphone previously demonstrated. The unique device modeling and optimization that allowed for this significant performance improvement enables a new class of microphones. During Phase II of this project, the commercialization effort will be accelerated by partnering with a production foundry to develop a fabrication process, enabling the mass fabrication of these parts. Successful completion of this task requires the repeatable fabrication in a production foundry with yield exceeding 90%. This Phase II project also seeks to further develop self-calibration capabilities, building on a unique aspect of these microphones demonstrated during Phase I. Successful completion of this task will result in a microphone capable of determining its own sensitivity to within 1 dB of that determined by standard calibration methods. The broader impact/commercial potential of this project is significant due to the widespread use of microphones in today's markets. This microphone?s unique combination of device simplicity and high performance enables a new class of microphones that fills the gap between extremely low-cost microphones used in consumer electronics applications and extremely high-cost microphones used in laboratories and test facilities. Through discussions with manufacturers and end-users of microphones and related systems, the company have determined that a wide range of applications would benefit from such a device. These microphones will significantly reduce the cost of complex T & M systems such as arrays that can cost more than $1M and improve the accuracy of equipment used by noise control engineers, work safety inspectors, police officers, and many others. Further, this microphone technology not only has the potential to impact the T & M market, but provides advantages for the hearing aid and consumer electronics markets as well. The total addressable market for this technology is more than $2.5B.

Shumlin wants $20 million more for mental healthJanuary 02,2013
The Associated Press
MONTPELIER — An additional $20 million in mental health spending is among a list of mid-year budget adjustments the administration of Vermont Gov. Peter Shumlin is proposing to lawmakers.
Finance and Management Commissioner Jim Reardon said Wednesday the federal government is expected to pay more than half of the increase under the joint federal-state Medicaid program.
Some of the new costs have arisen as the mental health system retools after flooding from Tropical Strorm Irene closed the Vermont State Hospital in Waterbury. Changes include new or expanded state psychiatric services at the Brattleboro Retreat, Fletcher Allen
Health Care and the Rutland Regional Medical Center.
Meanwhile, budget writers are grappling with an $11 million downward adjustment in the state's revenue forecast.MORE IN This Just InPHILADELPHIA Many delegates from Vermont arrived at the Democratic National Convention this...

Editorial Reviews
The narrative of Israel's first two kings, Saul and David, is the thrilling account of promise, loss, deception, valor, sin, dignity, restoration and hope. But I and 2 Samuel are much more. They are God's preview of the greater Kingdom to come and of a greater King than David. They tell us not just of those to emulate or pity, but of the One to whom these accounts point as the true King who pitied us when we were his enemies and who defeated our rebellious hearts that we might be partakers of His grace and Kingdom. Kay Gabrysch leads us well through these adventuresome stories to the throne of David's greater Son. And she does so in an accessible way that draws us in and provokes our our desire for more serious study of God's word.
There is no greater gift that a pastor or Bible teacher can give to the church than to show people how to become intentionally careful readers of the Word of God. Kay Gabrysch has done just that in her Bible study of 1-2 Samuel. Gracious and accessible, Gabrysch introduces her readers into the world of sound biblical interpretation by emphasizing the storied nature of Scripture. Asking her reader to note plot, context, characterization, and dramatic happenings and anticipations in the story, Gabrysch concentrates on what the Word itself concentrates on, the unfolding story of God's passionate pursuit of a people for his name. Yet this is no mere exercise in historical reading, as Gabrysch is just as earnest in the equally biblical concern to bridge the horizon of the text and the horizon of the contemporary church. The story of Israel's king is our inheritance, our covenantal memory, as we too look to our King and his coming kingdom.
Kays questions are especially good at teaching how to understand and trace theological themes and the larger context of passages. This is a great aid to personal Bible study, and it is especially strong in teaching a good method (hermeneutic) on which to base the interpretation and application of the passage. People typically jump straight to application (What does this say to me?) without a good interpretation of the text in its original context.
Our Women's Bible Study was blessed in several ways and on several levels as we worked our way through Kay Gabrysch's study of I and II Samuel. Kay's thoughtful framework and insightful questions helped us to engage these Old Testament narratives with heightened expectation. We were not disappointed. The revelation of God's work in pursuit of his people was freshly heralded, and the path from Samuel to David came alive, and therein we were ultimately pointed to Christ. That this study facilitated both a deeper understanding of an astounding and transitional period in Israel and also emphasized a practical and personal application of the truth disclosed about our own need and the Lord's provision made it an immensely worthy study.

Solo Sara Bareilles makes big impression in small room
The voice of Sara Bareilles could fill, and has filled, venues larger than the Humphrey Scottish Rite Masonic Center Auditorium, which sold out its 435-seat capacity when she stopped there Friday night.
Bareilles was in the midst of her first-ever solo tour and evidently wanted the intimacy of a smaller venue - combined, perhaps, with the assurance that if she failed, she would do so in front of a smaller crowd. »Read Full Article(2)

'Things Being What They Are' transcends male stereotypes
I'll admit I wasn't doing cartwheels upon learning the Milwaukee Chamber Theatre's holiday play, Wendy MacLeod's "Things Being What They Are," involves two middle-aged, avowedly heterosexual men bonding over brewskis. One of the many reasons I go to the theater is to escape such conversations, which are frequently slathered in cliché when they're not conducted in guttural utterances.
But as MacLeod's smartly written, warm and funny play makes clear, such stereotyping isn't fair to men, and it certainly isn't fair to this moving and entertaining production, which marks the talented Michael Cotey's Chamber directorial debut and features winning performances from actors Dan Katula and Ryan Schabach. »Read Full Article

Product Description
Rees Howells was a man peculiarly taught of God: one who learned the Bible as the Spirit made him live it. Every chapter of this biography is full of drama and light, showing how he faced the implications of an entire surrender, learned to love the unlovely, found the key to prevailing prayer, became the channel of a mighty revival in Africa, was taught the principles of devine healing, and progressed even further in faith until world events were affected by his prayers. Here are rich truths of the Spirit for all the Church of Christ today, inherent in a story told with simplicity, humanity, and humor enough to captivate any reader.

Thatcher's London Funeral Route to Be Lined by 700 Troops
More than 700 troops from U.K. regiments that fought in the 1982 Falklands War will line the route of Margaret Thatcher's funeral procession, giving the event a martial feel.
During the procession, just short of a full state ceremony on April 17, her coffin will be drawn on a gun carriage of the King's Troop Royal Horse Artillery from St. Clement Danes Church on the Strand in central London to St. Paul's Cathedral with the Royal Navy, the Army and the Royal Air Force lining the route, said Prime Minister David Cameron's spokesman, Jean-Christophe Gray.
Both Houses of Parliament broke their Easter vacation today to pay tribute to Thatcher, who was prime minister from 1979 to 1990. Some lawmakers from the opposition Labour Party refused to attend, citing her record on closing Britain's mines and unemployment that hit 3 million in the mid-1980s.
Cameron told lawmakers her premiership had "rescued" Britain from economic decline. "They say cometh the hour, cometh the man," the prime minister said. "Well in 1979, come the hour, came the lady."
Thatcher "made the political weather. She made history. And let this be her epitaph: that she made our country great again," Cameron said.
'Felt Stigmatized'
Labour leader Ed Miliband, while praising her personal qualities and political abilities, said that coalmining communities felt "abandoned" by her policies and that "gay and lesbian people felt stigmatized."
"Whatever your view of her, Margaret Thatcher was a unique and towering figure," he told lawmakers. "I disagreed with much of what she did. I respect what her death means to the many, many people who admire her, and I honor her personal achievements. A prime minister who defined her age."
The U.K.'s only female prime minister, who died on April 8 at the age of 87, will be given the same type of ceremonial funeral as was accorded to the Queen Mother in 2002 and Diana Princess of Wales in 1997. The government has given the funeral the codename "True Blue," after the Conservative Party's color.
The occasion, with full military honors, contrasts with lower-key services without a formal military element for previous premiers who served with distinction in wartime, such as Harold Macmillan.
Falklands Conflict
The Falklands War was one of the key events of her first term in office. After Argentina invaded the islands, which it has claimed for more than 150 years, Thatcher sent a task force 8,000 miles to reclaim them. The fighting cost the lives of 255 British soldiers, 649 Argentinians and three women from the islands, killed accidentally by British fire.
Currently at an undisclosed location, Thatcher's coffin will initially be taken to the Chapel of St. Mary Undercroft, a private church used by lawmakers in the 11th-century Westminster Hall, the oldest part of Parliament.
At the funeral, the gun carriage will be drawn by six horses with a sergeant riding alongside, an officer riding in front and three dismounted troops on foot. Outside the cathedral will stand a guard of honor and the band of the 1st Battalion Welsh Guards. While the ceremonial procession takes place, the Honourable Artillery Company will fire guns from the Tower of London.
A bearer party of 10 will carry her coffin into the cathedral. Its members will be drawn from the Royal Navy, Royal Marines and Royal Air Force, as well as Army units that saw some of the fiercest fighting in the Falklands campaign, including hand-to-hand fighting and bayonet charges.
Chelsea Pensioners
Positioned on the steps of the cathedral will be a "step-lining party" made up of 18 service personnel and a contingent of veterans from the Royal Hospital Chelsea, known as the Chelsea Pensioners.
Giles Fraser, a Church of England minister who resigned his position at St. Paul's in 2011 after the cathedral authorities began legal action to remove anti-capitalist protesters from the building's precincts, told the BBC that it was "problematic" to hold the funeral there. "St Paul's Cathedral was designed to be a place of national unity," he said. "It's difficult to get the tone right. It can't be Elgar and flag-waving. It has to be less triumphalistic than that."
The cost to the public of the funeral will be published after next week's service has taken place. The Daily Mirror reported today it could reach 10 million pounds ($15 million).
Royal Attendance
Queen Elizabeth II plans to attend the funeral accompanied by her husband, Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh, her office said. It is the first time she will have attended a service for a former prime minister since the funeral of Britain's wartime leader, Winston Churchill, in 1965.
Thatcher's family is "enormously proud and deeply grateful" the queen will attend, Mark Thatcher, her son, told reporters outside her house in London today. "I know my mother would be greatly honored as well as humbled by her presence."
Former Labour Prime Ministers Tony Blair and Gordon Brown will attend, their spokesmen said.
Former Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev, a man Thatcher said she "could do business with," won't be there. "Unfortunately, he can't come because of his health condition," his spokesman, Vladimir Polyakov, said today.

it has been 2 years since I have filed I730 for my wife. Case was transferred to India in October 2011. My wife's interview is done at USCIS office in India before 3 months. I have sent email to USCIS India a week ago to inquire about it. I haven't heard anything form them yet. What is the time frame I should be looking at?
Thanks in advance.
Immigration Attorney
I think it should have all been done - but it appears that it as approved (before transfer) and that there is a delay as a result of the interview process. Perhaps she has a criminal history? Or what did they ask her? Something is wrong...........
Thanks for your quick reply. My wife do not have any criminal history. And during the interview she was asked about me and my case. Thanks in advance
Immigration Attorney
You may want to hire an attorney to follow up and see what has caused the delay and what can be done to help move things forward.
Immigration Attorney
I agree with the other attorneys ... especially the part about having a meeting with an attorney.

Magnitude 6.2 quake strikes Chile
SANTIAGO, Chile (AP) -- A 6.2-magnitude earthquake has struck Chile's north-central region but authorities say no injuries or damage were reported and discounted the possibility of a tsunami.
The U.S. Geological Survey said the quake's epicenter was 41 miles (66 kilometers) west-northwest of Diego de Almagro, Chile and struck Monday at 1:26 p.m. local time.
Chile's emergency services office says no damage to infrastructure was immediately reported and there are no indications of casualties. The navy says no tsunami alert has been issued.
The South American country is highly earthquake-prone. A devastating 8.8-magnitude quake in 2010 and the tsunami it unleashed killed more than 500 people and destroyed 220,000 homes.

New Product Feedback
"We have started using the DEVINER and the new Tri-Penta Wrench from MADI and they are safer and save time for our crews."
Steve Brockman, Tampa Electric
Just prior to Tropical Storm Beryl we received our shipment of DEVINERS and we were grateful. After the storm passed over our island, we had hundreds of limbs hanging on our lines and hundreds more hanging by vines in the trees just waiting to fall. We were able to use the DEVINER to remove lots of these limbs, from the ground, saving us many man hours of out rigger ups and downs. If it weren't for Wayne sending a sample a few weeks earlier I would not have believed how useful this tool really is. We have one on every bucket truck.

Apparently Obama was 'cautious' in his first term, not because he wanted to get reelected, but because Fox News, a '24/7 propaganda masquerading as news' and right-wing talk radio created a 'hostile environment for progressive ideas':
ROSE: Why do you think [Obama] was cautious in the first four years?
GORE: Because…
ROSE: … he is a cautious man?
GORE: I think it has been a pretty hostile environment for progressive ideas.
ROSE: And why is that? That you're saying it's a very hostile environment for progressive ideas because of the importance of money in corporations or…
GORE: And Fox News and the right-wing talk radio. And yeah I mean, it's not that complicated. In Tennessee there's an old saying if you see a turtle on a fence post you can be pretty sure it didn't get there by itself. And the fact that we have 24/7 propaganda masquerading as news, it does have an impact.
You can go to Fox Nation and watch the video but the quality is pretty low.
At this point I think, at least for talk radio, if people like Mark Levin and Rush Limbaugh could stop Obama just by creating a "hostile environment for progressive ideas" from their microphones, they would indeed. But it's clear based on the last election that Fox News and Talk Radio isn't enough. So while I'm sure some would love to take credit for anything that stops Obama, what Gore is saying just isn't true.
And Obama has done far more behind the scenes with his EPA on climate change than Al Gore even wants to admit. And regarding Obamacare, well, the left had super majorities needed to pass it. The reason the public option didn't get in the bill is because of the left, not the right.
But the real truth is that Obama only intended to do so much because he wanted to get reelected. Unfortunately after 2014 that will no longer be a big issue for him. And it's not gonna be good.

Very little is known as to what the game is about, in fact absolutely nothing whatsoever apart from that it's developed by Feelplus and Brownie Brown and published by AQ Interactive in Japan.
Video looks good but still reveals next to nothing as to how it will play. More info as we get it.

Oakland, Berkeley, And East Bay News, Events, Restaurants, Music, & Arts
With all due respect, Darwin, I cannot agree with your analysis. Currently, the Mayor appoints all of the members of the Citizens' Police Review Board. Under the proposed measure, the Mayor can appoint only 3 of the 7 commissioners and they are subject to public input and Council confirmation. Currently, the City Administrator who is hired by the Mayor and reports to the Mayor decides on discipline for officers who are found to have violated OPD policy or General Orders. The ballot measure strips the City Administrator of that authority and hands it to a sub-committee of the police commission -- a group of Oakland residents who are volunteers - not employees. The Commission can also unilaterally fire the police chief with a super majority vote.
So, the notion that this measure enhances or enlarges the power of the Mayor is difficult to accept, given the historical and current circumstances. The fact that it is not as independent as the Coalition for Police Accountability had intended cannot be translated into an argument that it increases the power of the Mayor.
There are other provisions as well that serve to increase the community's involvement in police practices and policies, budget allocations and the Commission can investigate any public safety issues that arise even if no official complaint has been filed.
All in all, if this measure is passed by the voters, it will significantly shift the authority over the police department away from the City Administration and provide a much greater role for Oakland residents to impact how our neighborhoods are served by Oakland police officers.
In summary: although it is not as much as the Coalition had hoped for, this Charter change is a dramatic improvement over the status quo and sets the stage for further reforms in the years to come.
Trump deserves to be treated as a buffoon and as a serious danger. Congrats to Joey Yang for covering the buffoon angle so well!
What are the penalties for police violating the policy, or using the surveillance equipment to spy on people without justification? If they can still use the gear to wrongfully invade our privacy and no one is held accountable, that's not acceptable.
I am glad to hear that Rashidah Grinage and Pamela Drake of the Coalition are still positive about the likely benefits of the prospective Police Commission.
It is a sad fact that the realization of the Commission is coming at possibly the worst possible time with the Police Officers Association with its hackles up so the process is fraught with a great deal of mistrust. And of course the Mayor is concerned above all with protecting her administrative power. The Council is having to do a lot of work in a very short period of time in their characteristic reactive "last minute" mode rather than in an extended process of democratic outreach and reflection and planning ahead. This sort of policymaking, although typical of Oakland, isn't guaranteed to produce the best possible outcomes.
Although I have for many years supported a Police Commission for Oakland, these days I am also feeling very sympathetic with our cops because of the revolving door of the Chiefs, the ongoing low morale and constant high level of attrition and the Mayor's utter irrationality and incompetence.
I'm also very concerned about the citizens who don't have nearly the level of police service they need and deserve, and who at the same time bear the high dollar costs of our department due to lawsuits and constant turnover. All this in a time when there is no evident leadership or vision for the future.
Pamela is correct. Does the Commission still have 'teeth?' It may not have wisdom teeth, but it still has molars. The most important accomplishment of the measure is that it cuts the City Administrator out of the disciplinary process. This is a major reform. Although the Coalition is not getting everything we wanted, placing this item on the ballot is a significant step in what will be an ongoing process to bring the Oakland community into the process of how it is policed and will strengthen the ability to hold accountable officers who abuse their authority, racially profile and violate Department policy. The glass is not full, but it is more full than empty. No doubt there will be more work needed in the future, but make no mistake: this is a victory that should be celebrated and the work will soon begin to ensure a win in November!
Wow. How many more teeth will get pulled out of this thing by Tuesday?

This "strong Mayor" proposal smacks of Jerry Brown's administration...
Let's make the police officers get private insurance for firearms, that way if they engage in activity that results in unjustified use of force with a firearm it will come directly out of their pocket or the pocket of the police union....

I am still formulating my thoughts on the final proposal and the coalition will set a date to meet and vote on whether to endorse it after Tuesday's final council vote.
At one point we had discussed an "elastic clause" with CM Kalb and CM Gallo to prevent the scope from being narrowed. We'll continue to lobby for that language until Tuesday evening.
We are disappointed in the mayor and council's inflexibility on the issue of her appointments. It seems a compromise to this
mayor is that she gets everything she wants.
But it is NOT gutted and is stronger than the original council proposal. We hope people will understand the level of hard work put in by both the coalition-all of us, including people who emailed, called or spoke at council and the CMs who struggled with us and each other. This is landmark legislation that many said couldn't be done. In a city with a tradition of terrible police misconduct and little credibility, change has come.
Sounds gutted to me.
Of course, the "old Guard" republicans in Michigan, have pulled out all the tricks they could and have silence the voices & will of the citizens in Michigan. The Kingdom has put the kibosh to a rec. marijuana vote. (for now only - it will be back)
I sure it becomes legal all over the world. I live on the Big Island & grow the best smoke on the island. If I could burn with Trump he'd be all for it. Come on Mr. Trump, let's burn some.

The same outfit has purchased the warehouse at 1919 Market, around the corner from my house. A group of neighbors have had to confront Danny Haber over the neglect of the HUGE building, and frankly our meetings with him just made my skin crawl. He was even suggesting that they put in a "dive bar", so apparently there's a pattern with him wanting to open bars on the properties they... well "manage" implies they actually DO something without being forced.
On a more personal level, Danny Haber is a late 20's "bro" who brought a case of cheap beer to the 1st community meeting, and acted surprised when none of us "grown ups" wanted any. He did not wear a suit or make any effort to appear professional. I don't know if he's had to deal with a group of angry homeowners near one of these blighted properties, but if he has, he certainly hasn't learned how to come across as something other than a creep who loves to drink.
What we're seeing is the tail trying to wag the dog, when states make laws that directly conflict with federal (CSA) ones then "federal supremacy" steps in and is the law of the land according to our Constitution. Until Uncle Sam says its legal to "sell" and "profit" from a controlled substance and the transactions it simply cannot be lawful! If following state law has the potential of someone being prosecuted by federal entities and a ten year to life sentence in federal prison then the 5th Amendment also comes into play. The higharchy of law has existed for hundreds of years and any change has to occur from the "top down" not the "bottom up" or no individual is safe or protected from self incrimination and potential prosecution. Wake up America and smell the cannabis, tell congress to get off their ass and actual do something to resolve this issue once and for ALL! Marijuana is s plant put on this earth and given to us by God, it's not a drug manufactured by man and does NOT belong on the schedule of the CSA. If tomatoes had healing properties and helped us feel better and happier and think more freely would tomatoes be a "controlled substance" too? Think about it folks

I'm glad I'm not the only one who knows this. The news does not report all SF crime in order to keep the squeaky clean reputation it has to keep transplants and tourists coming. Today is a perfect example. Today (7/20/16) a daytime fatal shooting in the Potrero Hill projects never got mentioned tonight on the news. Every shooting that happens in SF does not get reported compared to Oakland where they report and create backstories and interviews to embed in people's minds that Oakland bad, SF good.
The point of the article was given, as the writer really doesn't care if the dog are consumed or not. The writer's point was because someone in their circle with klout was engage in saving the animals Berkeley City Council had to get involved. Money always win.
For others, who are not aware. There are 11 Asian Countries that practice this event. If they would consume the Animal without torture. It would be acceptable. However, boiling puppies, kittens while still alive is not. Blow tourching them, gutting them, skinning them, cutting their limbs is not okay.
Oh, and to ruffle your feather even more, there is one single restaurant in California that does serve dog meat to its exclusive members.
Pigs are smarter and more trainable than dogs. They are even smarter than 3YO humans in cognition tests yet we still torture and eat them. Maybe these "activists" should focus on home fires before telling some other country what to eat.
The issue with the festival and the consumption of dog meat is the excessive use of torture to make the meat more "tender". Perhaps, berfore writing this article, you should have done more research regarding the techniques used on these animals.
The concept of "moral relativism" is totally unknown to animal rights activists.
Update: Tonight, Tues July 19th we had a big turnout of supporters for a strong, politically independent Police Commission selected by a "citizens'' committee with a broad mandate for investigating all complaints about police misconduct and disciplining police and the police chief. People expressed their support to giving the Commission the power to review all policies and procedures of OPD. Out of about a few dozen speakers, maybe 3 people raised a few mild objections to certain provisions. No one publicly supported allowing any mayor to directly select any Commission members.
In essence all of the changes proposed by our Coalition for Police Accountability were supported by many people I had never heard or seen before, and by well-known residents also.
Two former members of the existing Civilian Police Review Board spoke. They both described how their frustration with the toothless Board made them quit. Three other former members have told me the same exact thing in private.
In the next few days we will ask for firm commitments from every CM to support our original charter amendment after deletion of any reference to changing binding arbitration. That was our agreement with all of organized labor except for OPOA and that's fine by most of us in the Coalition for Police Accountability.
The Mayor has stayed publicly silent on the amendment and only once arranged a meeting with the Coalition. Not unreasonable to assume the Mayor privately expressed her wish for her office to directly select 3 out of the Commission members, but we don't know.
But much can still happen in the week before the July 26th special session of Council to vote on a revised charter amendment. I'm sure OPOA has not given up their fight to weaken the Commission.
So please contact your council member and at-large CM Kaplan asking them to support the Coalition for Police Accountability modifications to the Kalb/Gallo proposal.

Chair Unveiling…..
Hello! I am back from a crazy stressful month in Salt Lake and I am glad to be home. I miss everyone so bad though, apparently you cant have the best of both worlds. But being home gave me some time to finish this chair. I bought the fabric at Home Fabrics in Sandy (Fah-reakin amazing!) it was $5.99 a yard. I died right when I saw it. It goes perfectly in my living room……which you guys have no clue what it looks like because the dog ate my camera cord. But here it a little preview. So here is what I did, I primed with Kilz and painted 2 coats of Krylon Classic Grey which in my opinion is the PERFECT Grey. I unpicked all of the stitching on the cushions and basically used them as a pattern and reconstructed it the same way I took it apart. Turned out pretty good don't you think?

Billionaire Elon Musk's Space Exploration Technologies Corp. plans to build the world's first commercial launchpad near Brownsville in south Texas, Gov. Rick Perry's office said.
The state is providing $2.3 million from the Texas Enterprise Fund to bring an estimated 300 jobs to the launch site, which will inject about $85 million of capital investment into the economy, according to a news release. The state is offering another $13 million from the SpacePort Trust Fund to support the development of infrastructure. Local officials are awarding about $5 million of incentives.
"Texas has been on the forefront of our nation's space exploration efforts for decades, so it is fitting that SpaceX has chosen our state as they expand the frontiers of commercial space flight," Perry said in the statement.
Hawthorne-based SpaceX, founded by Musk in 2002, designs, builds and launches rockets and has the goal of enabling life on other planets. The company persuaded local governments near Brownsville, the nation's poorest metropolitan area, to compete with alternative sites in Florida, Georgia and Puerto Rico.
Musk money
More than three years of discussions among Texas officials and SpaceX representative led to the decision announced Monday. In Texas, SpaceX hired lobbyists and flew a key lawmaker to its offices and gave out about $12,000 in campaign contributions. At one point Musk appeared before a committee of the legislature to discuss the company's plans.
"We appreciate the support of Governor Perry and numerous other federal, state and local officials who have partnered with us to make this vision a reality," Musk said in the statement released by Perry's office. "In addition to creating hundreds of high tech jobs for the Texas workforce, this site will inspire students, expand the supplier base and attract tourists to the south Texas area."
In the region near the proposed launch site, at Boca Chica Beach in the state's southernmost tip, two of five residents live in poverty. Leaders of the border town are seeking to make it as well known for space travel as Houston, home of NASA's Johnson Space Center.
The Brownsville Economic Development Council is providing the $5 million to lure the launchpad, said Gilberto Salinas, executive vice president. Some other local tax breaks also are in the works, Salinas said.
"For us this is just the beginning," Salinas said. "We will be working to make this situation perfect until the first rocket gets launched."

Monkey HTTP Daemon 0.10.0
The Monkey HTTP Daemon lightweight webserver for static content enters the open source arena.
The project claims to have rewritten almost 85% of the code over two years to achieve its newest milestone release. The result is a webserver intended for fast and efficient delivery of static content that can also pass on requests for dynamic content to other servers. Monkey HTTP Daemon is meant for Linux only, because the server uses particular system calls that only the kernel 2.6.28 OR newer recognizes.
The Monkey server uses a hybrid mechanism to answer HTTP requests that combines asynchronous mode with fixed threads. The webserver supports virtual hosts and conforms to the HTTP 1.1 specification. A plugin named Cheetah provides a command line shell and a security plugin adds an access restrictions option.
Monkey HTTP Daemon is free software under GPLv2. The project homepage has further details and a source tarball for download.

Most tech watchers had confidently predicted that a new version of Android, Google's smartphone and tablet operating system, would be unveiled as part of the search giant's keynote speech at the annual developers conference -- yet it was conspicuous by its absence.
The reason for its omission appears to be because the next version of Android will be version 4.3, a minor tweak, rather than version 5 -- Key Lime Pie.
According to Android and Me, the update will roll out on June 10 and will contain few, if any, new features and therefore no surprises, which is good news for anyone with an existing Android device. Every phone manufacturer that uses Android is responsible for analyzing their existing devices, deciding if an updated operating system can work on them and, if the answer is 'yes,' pushing it out to owners. Further complicating this system is the fact that different network operators in different countries also install software on Android phones which can be compromised by updates, so they too have to subject an update to the same review process.
This less-than-efficient system is why so few people in the world with an Android device are experiencing the latest version of the operating system. There are 900 million Android phones and tablets in the world and only 2.3 percent of them are running 4.2.2 Jelly Bean, the latest and best version of the software.
This is also why Nexus-branded devices are so popular among progressive Android owners. The name guarantees that the handsets and tablets will receive the updated software as soon as it becomes available. For everyone else it is a waiting game. At least the fact that the next update is a subtle change means that the vast majority of Android device owners won't be missing out on the next big smartphone innovation.

Problem Types allow you to categorize your SR issue in order to direct it to the correct Support Team and Subject Matter Expert. We have expanded the Inventory Problem Types in areas like Inventory Transactions, in order to give you an ability to log a more detailed SR for an area like 'Transactions Setup'.
Along with the new Problem Types, we have also automated Inventory SR's in order to request important diagnostic information up front, in order to speed up the TTR. This will help you get your solutions faster.
Oracle Inventory Support offers many different paths to solutions for your issues. Don't forget all the quick easy solutions in the Logistics and Inventory Items (APC/PLM/PIM) Communities, or the searchable Knowledge Management documents in the MOS Knowledge base. And if you need to log a SR, the new Inventory Problem Types will help to better define your issue and reduce your SR TTR.

A 31-year-old woman has been charged with drink-driving after
apparently mistaking a boat ramp for a road and driving her
car into the water on the NSW south coast.
Police said officers were called to the Shellharbour boat
ramp at about 10pm (local time) on Monday to find a Kia
Carnival submerged in the water at the end of the ramp.
The officers were told a 31-year-old woman had been drinking
alcohol in her car on the ramp and when she attempted to
drive away she mistook the ramp for the road.
The car submerged with the woman inside but she escaped
through an open window. A man helped pull her from the water.
Police said the woman was breath-tested at the scene and
returned a positive result, with a later breath analysis
returning an alleged reading of 0.053.
The Queensland woman was charged with low-range drink-driving
and issued with a court attendance notice.
A name, residential address, and (preferably residential) telephone number is required from readers who comment on ODT Online. These details will not be visible to site visitors.

Have We Seen the Last of the MTV Video Music Awards?
Rumors are circulating that the show won't live to see its 33rd birthday.
Rumors are circulating that the show won't live to see its 33rd birthday.
The 2015 MTV VMA nominations are in!
If you are someone who would love to have your personal life and all the drama that comes with it broadcast to the world on MTV, then this casting call is right up your alley!
We may have to wait until Christmas to see James Franco and Seth Rogen in 'The Interview,' but the pair are already hard at work making sure that audiences are extremely, perhaps uncomfortably familiar with their characters through a 'Very Special VMA Special.'
Please take all of this with a huge grain of salt, first off this interview was on the talk show Bethany and second anyone who believed this show was real has hopefully gotten out of puberty and realizes it was all scripted.
The 2013 MTV Movie Awards winners, though by no means as hyped as, say, the 2013 Oscars, are a fun affair nonetheless. Most of the awards, with exceptions to the "specialty" categories, are voted on by the fans, which means many of the titles that got snubbed during awards season now have another chance for the recognition many believe they deserve.
Yesterday brought the bizarre and tragic news that 21 year-old 'Buckwild' star Shain Gandee had been found dead after 31 hours missing, along with his uncle and a third unidentified male inside an off-road truck. The truck's position within the muddy woods initially made the bodies difficult to retrieve, but the circumstance and autopsy results have conclusively revealed the three died of carbon monoxide poisoning, says the Kanawha County Sheriff's Office.
The 2013 MTV Movie Award nominations were announced, and as usual, they somewhat overlapped with the 2013 Oscars -- and still included movies you've actually seen that weren't uppity enough to be nominated for actual Academy Awards.
Kesha has been hinting at a documentary for a while, but then it got quiet when all the focus was on her book and then her latest album, 'Warrior.' But now it's finally coming!
MTV doesn't play music videos anymore. We get that. But why? From YouTube's comedy sketch duo Brian Firenzi and Maria Del Carmen a video finally answering the question.
Taylor Swift and Justin Bieber took the lead in award wins at the 2012 MTV EMAs held in Frankfurt, Germany -- but since The Biebs was a no show, the spotlight was all on Swift. The 'Red' songstress not only went home with Best Female, Best Live Act and Best Look awards, but also made her debut on the EMA stage as a ringleader with 'We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together.'
Taylor Swift, Rita Ora and Lana Del Rey were easily the best-dressed ladies at the 2012 EMAs, which are the European equivalent of the VMAs.

Peace starts within each one of us. When we have inner peace, we can be at peace with those around us. When our community is in a state of peace, it can share peace with neighboring communities, and so on. When we feel love and kindness towards others, it not only makes others feel loved and cared for, but it helps us also to develop inner happiness and peace.

Does Herbalife do Weight Gain?
Most of my clients are after weight loss from Herbalife, and that's great as Herbalife is incredibly effective for weight loss. However, don't be mistaken, it works just as well for weight gain too.
If you haven't seen my testimony, then you can look here to see how I gained over 2 stone in muscle from Herbalife.
So how does the same product work for both weight loss and weight gain? Good question; this confused me massively when I first heard about Herbalife. Here's the answer:
For weight loss with Herbalife you use Formula 1 as a meal replacement. Have an F1 shake for breakfast instead of your usual toast or cereal, and again for your lunch in place of that greasy beefburger. Then in the evening have a healthy balanced meal.
For weight gain use Herbalife's Formula 1 as an additional meal. Have an F1 shake for breakfast in addition to your cereal, have a good healthy lunch, around 3pm have another shake, have your healthy balanced meal around 6, then have another shake to finish your day no later than 8pm.
How does Herbalife formula 1 turn into a weight gain product. Simple, a Formula 1 shake is the equivalent to a healthy meal with just 220 calories. When you're having three shakes per day plus your original 3 meals then you are essentially consuming 6 meals a day and eating an additional 660 calories. This increase will give you the weight gain increase you search for.
How can I put on weight without getting fat? Simple, consume healthy extra calories through Herbalife, not through takeaways. Then combine this new diet with regular exercise; in particular, weight training. This will allow the extra intake of calories and protein to build muscle not fat.
What other products can help with weight gain? Formula 3 protein powder combines perfectly with formula 1 to give more protein to your shake. Protein is essential for increased muscle. Furthermore, instead of snacking on regular chocolate bars, start eating Herbalife's protein bars. They taste delicious, are very filling and are full of protein. A final key product is Herbalife's Cell Activator. This ensures all your what your body consumes is used properly and effectively.
If you would like to put on weight but are still unsure how, then please contact me and I will personally discuss with you how to go about gaining weight healthily.

I like this customizable plugin. I changed some things because I think it would improve performance and would be more comfortable.
1. In get_img() I set the size of the image from "full" to "thumbnail" (or delete "full" to use the function's default value "thumbnail"). I don't want to use the original image sizes as thumbnails.
2. I delete the call of thimthumb and changed the img source from "timthumb.php?src={$path}&h={$tbHeight}&w={$tbWidth}" just to "$path". The browser resizes the image with the values of the attributes "width" and "height".
3. I would wish to have the option to change the path to the default thumbnail. (I changed it in the code.)
4. In the widget after activating "Display post thumbnail" no fields for the image size appear immediately. They appear after saving the widget's setting. It would be more comfortable to see the fields after checking the box.
Just my 2 cents to this fine plugin.

Ernest Borgnine, the Oscar-winning star, multiple Emmy nominee and much-loved character actor whose work endured across decades of film and television, has passed away of renal failure in Los Angeles at the age of 95.
Instantly recognizable for his characterizations that brought a rugged charm to even the smallest part, Borgnine made his screen debut in 1951 and was working right up 'til this year. He won the Academy Award for Best Actor in 1955's Marty, in which he played a lonely Italian butcher; had early breakthrough roles in From Here to Eternity (1953) and Johnny Guitar (1954); and would become a household name with his portrayal of Lt. Commander Quinton McHale in the hit TV series McHale's Navy, which ran from 1962-66.
Borgnine's many other memorable performances included turns in Robert Aldrich's classic The Dirty Dozen, Sam Peckinpah's The Wild Bunch, '70s disaster epic The Poseidon Adventure and John Carpenter's Escape from New York. In his later career Borgnine became a fixture in TV roles, even connecting with a whole new generation as the voice of Mermaid Man on SpongeBob Squarepants. He was nominated for an Emmy, at age 92, for his role in the final season of E.R. in 2009.
We actually thought he'd be around forever. R.I.P., sir.

Rajaratnam Prosecutors Show How He Tapped Inside Sources
Prosecutors in Raj Rajaratnam's criminal trial called a witness to help show how the Galleon Group LLC co-founder allegedly used information from an inside source to get advance notice of the sale of PeopleSupport Inc.
Lance Rosenzweig, a founder and ex-chairman of PeopleSupport, testified today in Manhattan federal court that Galleon, owner of 25.5 percent of the outsourcing company's shares, placed Krish Panu, a managing partner at the hedge fund, on the PeopleSupport board in April 2008.
Prosecutors played wiretaps of Panu giving Rajaratnam confidential information about PeopleSupport and of Rajaratnam passing tips about the company to his friend Rajiv Goel. In one recording, Rajaratnam tells Goel about an offer for PeopleSupport by Essar Group, an Indian company controlled by billionaire brothers Shashi and Ravi Ruia.
"So the Ruias made a firm bid now," Rajaratnam told Goel in a July 30, 2008, phone call, days before the Aug. 4 public announcement of the deal. "In the amount, 12.25."
"Oh wonderful, wonderful thanks," Goel replied.
News of the agreement by Essar Group's Aegis BPO unit to pay $12.25 a share for PeopleSupport, or 29 percent more than the previous closing price, sent the company's stock up 25 percent.
Rajaratnam, 53, is on trial in the largest crackdown on hedge-fund insider trading in U.S. history. The Sri Lankan-born money manager is accused of making $45 million from tips leaked by corporate insiders and hedge fund traders. He says his trades were based on legitimate research and denies wrongdoing. Panu didn't immediately return a phone message left at his home today.
Closing Date
In October 2008, when Essar asked to extend the closing date because of liquidity problems in the world financial markets, PeopleSupport's stock price "dropped precipitously," Rosenzweig, testified.
On Oct. 7, 2008, while PeopleSupport and Essar negotiated a closing date, Rajaratnam and Goel spoke again. Rajaratnam said he bought 30,000 shares of PeopleSupport for Goel's personal brokerage account, saying "I'm 100 percent sure."
"We know because one of our guys is on the board," Rajaratnam said on the wiretap. "I can't buy any more because I own 25 percent of the company. They have a poison pill, right?"
The next day, when PeopleSupport announced the acquisition would close Oct. 31, 2008, the shares rose 23 percent.
Earlier the government played a wiretapped recording of Panu briefing Rajaratnam about the company's performance and about Rosenzweig's secret trip to India to meet potential suitors.
'The Good News'
"The good news, Raj, is they're going to generate free cash flow 30 million this year," Panu said in a May 2, 2008, conversation that the government secretly recorded off of Rajaratnam's mobile phone.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Reed Brodsky asked Rosenzweig whether news of his trip to India was public.
"No, it was not," Rosenzweig testified.
On cross-examination, Rosenzweig told defense attorney Terence Lynam that he didn't know anything about Rajaratnam's trading in PeopleSupport shares. Lynam questioned whether Rajaratnam's Oct. 7, 2008, call contained inside information.
"Everything was still in flux, is that correct?" Lynam asked, referring to the time of the call, at 1:46 p.m.
"Yes," Rosenzweig answered.
Three Witnesses
Rosenzweig was the fourth witness summoned by prosecutors to show how Rajaratnam got inside tips. This morning, Alex Lenke, formerly an investor-relations official at Intel Corp., concluded testifying that Goel, then a treasury executive at the chipmaker, asked him about the company's performance in early 2007.
Goel has pleaded guilty in the case and is expected to testify that he disclosed tips about Intel's performance. Brodsky has placed photographs of Goel and Panu on a bulletin board beside the jury box.
The case is U.S. v. Rajaratnam, 1:09-cr-01184, U.S. District Court, Southern District of New York (Manhattan).

I was going through some of the issues we saw during the 4.5 beta and came across another one I thought you might find interesting. This is one where the installation of the App-V client will fail with the following error:
"Installation operation failed. Error 1708"
If you then check the Verbose MSI log you'll also see something along the lines of the following:
Verbose MSI logs will show MSI (s) (34:68) [19:45:35:263]: Note: 1: 1708
MSI (s) (34:68) [19:45:35:263]: Product: Microsoft Application Virtualization Desktop Client — Installation operation failed.
MSI (s) (34:68) [19:45:35:263]: Cleaning up uninstalled install packages, if any exist
MSI (s) (34:68) [19:45:35:263]: MainEngineThread is returning 1603
MSI (s) (34:64) [19:45:35:279]: Destroying RemoteAPI object.
MSI (s) (34:88) [19:45:35:279]: Custom Action Manager thread ending.
=== Logging stopped: 7/24/2008 19:45:35 ===
MSI (c) (48:C8) [19:45:35:279]: Decrementing counter to disable shutdown. If counter >= 0, shutdown will be denied. Counter after decrement: -1
MSI (c) (48:C8) [19:45:35:279]: MainEngineThread is returning 1603
=== Verbose logging stopped: 7/24/2008 19:45:35 ===
The key here is where it says MainEngineThread is returning 1603.
The exact cause of this can vary but is most likely due to a performance counter registration related issue. This can happen when a previous version of the client was installed at one time and the unregister failed when it was uninstalled, or there could be registry / file permissions on the machine that are not allowing the creation of one of the temporary files needed to create and register the performance counters.
To fix this we'll need to clean up the client in question in order to allow a proper re-installation. To do this open a CMD prompt on the client in question and run the following commands:
regsvr32 /u mavcperf.dll
and then
mofcomp <PATH>\SGCliprvUninstall.Mof
Note: If you are unable to unregister mavcperf.dll (step #1 above) you can perform the following steps:
1.) Run the following command from a command prompt:
unlodctr "Mav Client PerfMon Provider"
2.) Delete the following registry key:
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\MAV Client PerfMon Provider
With any luck, once you do this the client will now install without error.
I'd also like to extend a special thanks to Steve Thomas. He diligently worked so many of these beta issues and discovered many of the solutions I post here, including this one. Without him many of these issues would go undocumented.
Hope this helps,
J.C. Hornbeck | Manageability Knowledge Engineer

Directors Turner Ross and Bill Ross IV, brothers and native sons of Sidney, find poetry in images of the mundane.
The first shot tells us 45365 is the zip code of the town." In this achingly beautiful film, that zip code belongs to Sidney, Ohio, a handsome town of about 20,000 residents.
A graceful, affectionate yet clear-eyed portrait of daily Middle America small-town life in which no individuals are interviewed but instead are observed with detachment as they go about their lives.
Alternating between stunning fixed takes and quick you-are-there camera movements, Bill and Turner Ross's portrait of their tiny Ohio hmetown (the title is its zip code) weaves a hypnotic tapestry out of everyday banalities.
The result is a poetic documentary of quiet American surfaces and intimately eavesdropped people.
For such a small place (officially a city, Sidney sure feels like a town), it's strikingly diverse.

John Boehner Takes Steps Toward Defending Anti-Gay-Marriage Laws
"The constitutionality of this law should be determined by the courts."
House Speaker John Boehner said the House may go to court to defend the federal law banning gay marriage, in response to the Obama administration's recent announcement that it would no longer defend the constitutionality of the law. Boehner plans to convene a meeting of the five-person Bipartisan Legal Advisory Group, which has the authority to instruct the House General Counsel to take legal action on behalf of the House if it determines there are institutional or separation-of-powers violations. (Both Boehner and Pelosi are members of the Advisory Group.) "The constitutionality of this law should be determined by the courts, not by the president unilaterally," the Ohio Republican said in a statement.
Nancy Pelosi, who praised Obama's decision to stop defending the law as a "victory for civil rights, fairness and equality," called Boehner's planned actions "nothing more than a distraction from our most pressing challenges," like creating jobs and reducing the federal deficit. In a statement, Pelosi said Boehner's move placed Republicans "squarely on the wrong side of history."
