Legislative Alert
Supreme Court Upholds Post-Arrest DNA Collection: High Court Sides with IACP Amicus Brief
By Gene Voegtlin, Director, SACOP, IACP
n early June, in a case that has significant implications for the law enforcement community, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld the use of post-arrest DNA testing. Currently, 28 states and the federal government have laws that provide for automatic DNA testing of arrestees.
In its 5-4 ruling the Court held that
When officers make an arrest supported by probable cause to hold for a serious offense and bring the suspect to the station to be detained in custody, taking and analyzing a cheek swab of the arrestee's DNA is, like fingerprinting and photographing, a legitimate police booking procedure that is reasonable under the Fourth Amendment.1
The IACP has long been a proponent of post-arrest DNA sampling. The ability of law enforcement agencies to obtain DNA samples is essential to their ability to accurately identify individuals under arrest, provides essential linkages to unsolved crimes, and assists in the exoneration of innocent individuals.
The case decided by the Court, Maryland v. King, centered on the 2009 arrest of Alonzo King. Mr. King was charged with first- and second-degree assault. Pursuant to Maryland's DNA Collection Act, law enforcement authorities required Mr. King to submit to a buccal swab of his inner cheek to obtain a DNA sample. In accordance with the state's regulations, the sample was submitted to the Combined DNA Index System (CODIS) for a comparison to other unknown samples on file.
The analysis showed a match between Mr. King's DNA sample and a sample retrieved from the investigation of an unsolved rape that had occurred in 2003. Based on this match, King was charged with the rape.
After failing to have the DNA evidence suppressed before trial, King agreed to waive his right to a jury trial and agreed to be tried on an undisputed statement of facts. He was convicted of first-degree rape, and appealed his conviction. The conviction was overturned by Maryland's Court of Appeals, the state's highest court, which held that the taking of Mr. King's DNA evidence was unreasonable under the Fourth Amendment, and should have been suppressed by the trial court.
The State of Maryland appealed the decision to the U.S. Supreme Court. Earlier this year, the IACP along with the Maryland Chiefs of Police Association, Maryland Sheriffs Association, and other law enforcement and municipal organizations, filed an amicus brief with the U.S. Supreme Court outlining law enforcement's view on this critical issue.
In its brief, the IACP argued that
Each law enforcement officer in this country takes an oath to uphold the United States Constitution and the constitution and laws of the various states. In support of this oath and to serve the public safety needs of their communities, officers are tasked with conducting investigations that have a dual goal: to exonerate the innocent and to arrest and lay the investigative groundwork that will ensure conviction of the guilty. DNA evidence makes a substantial contribution toward achieving this dual goal because it provides an accurate means of suspect identification.The prompt identification of arrestees allows law enforcement to narrow the focus of criminal investigations and effectively solve cases, new and old, more quickly. DNA collection and testing supports the efficiency of this process, while protecting innocent persons, and shields officers from potential civil liability for wrongful detentions. Contrarily, an arrestee has minimal privacy interests in either protecting against discovery of his true identity or of his past crimes.2
Senate Judiciary Committee Holds Confirmation Hearing for ATF Nominee B. Todd JonesOn June 12, the Senate Judiciary Committee held a confirmation hearing for B. Todd Jones to be the Director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF). Mr. Jones is currently serving as the Acting Director of the ATF as well as the U.S. Attorney for the District of Minnesota. If confirmed, Mr. Jones will be the first permanent director the ATF has had since the position became subject to Senate confirmation in 2006.
Earlier this year, after the president formally nominated Mr. Jones, the IACP announced its support for the nomination in a letter to Senator Patrick Leahy (D-VT), Chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee. In his letter, IACP President Craig Steckler stated,
Throughout his career, Mr. Jones has demonstrated an unyielding commitment to protecting public safety. His years of experience as a U.S. Attorney have provided him the opportunity to work with law enforcement agencies and he has gained a unique understanding of the challenges and the complexities agencies face in combating firearms violence, gang crime, and other threats to our communities.The IACP believes that Mr. Jones' years of experience, his expertise, and his record of success are evidence of his outstanding qualifications to serve as the next ATF Director.3
A vote on Mr. Jones nomination has not yet been scheduled. ♦

Fully assembled Apple iPhone 5 pictured side to side with older siblings

The Apple iPhone 5 is expected to be the biggest redefinition of the iPhone since it launched way back into 2007, changing our perception of what's a smartphone…

Add some plastic around the edge of the bezel and you have a Nokia 5800 Xpressmusic

I think they should keep the old size and increase the screen to 4". There's plenty of space for them to do so. And of course the design should be completely new.
84. downphoenix (Posts: 3165; Member since: 19 Jun 2010)
There is plenty of room, but Apple has to have those big bezels.

Fake pic, it won't look like that.
49. rf1975 (Posts: 258; Member since: 01 Aug 2011)
iPhone 3 is still beautiful.
75. MeoCao (unregistered)
Haha, iPhone and beautiful? LOL
97. doubleD (Posts: 78; Member since: 13 Dec 2010)
I still think the iPhone 3 is the best looking of all the iPhones.
103. CharlieAtInfinity (Posts: 253; Member since: 10 Apr 2012)
iPhone 4 and iPhone 3 best looking out of all iPhones iPhone 5 gotta be the worst looking phone :( why they elongated it so much.. looks bad!
115. Mittal (Posts: 493; Member since: 14 Dec 2011)
yup! this alleged render is a big thumbs down...
hope its not the real stuff

Nothing like a minor bump in size. Got to keep the phone usable for thse with small hands.
5. Droid_X_Doug (Posts: 5993; Member since: 22 Dec 2010)
Edit - those instead of thse. PA - you really need to make posts editable after someone else posts.
29. plgladio (Posts: 314; Member since: 05 Dec 2011)
Actually we can edit before someone posts after you.
Surprise that you didn't had a chance like that...
70. Droid_X_Doug (Posts: 5993; Member since: 22 Dec 2010)
I saw the mis-spelling after clicking the Post Comment button, and clicked Edit. In all, maybe 2 or 3 seconds passed until I clicked the Edit button, but it was too late. It seems that anyone posting anywhere on PA triggers the lock, 'cause nothing had happened to this thread.
126. Ubi2447 (Posts: 131; Member since: 14 Feb 2012)
Agreed. this has happened to me too many times. You have my vote for a tweek to the system.
31. EclipseGSX (Posts: 1717; Member since: 18 Oct 2011)
Maybe read your own comment before you hit post...just a thought.
44. 305Bucko (Posts: 506; Member since: 07 Aug 2011)
PA needs to make comments deletable too. Sometimes I click "comment" instead of "reply" and later find out I was ranting at myself.
52. PhoneArenaUser (Posts: 5498; Member since: 05 Aug 2011)
I don't think it is good idea because various trolls will be changing their statements and will be claiming that they never had said this or that...
71. Droid_X_Doug (Posts: 5993; Member since: 22 Dec 2010)
Give the ability to edit a post for say, 2 minutes after posting. Then, the post is locked down for posterity.
86. tedkord (Posts: 11712; Member since: 17 Jun 2009)
As opposed to what they do now, which is claim someone must have spoofed their account.
94. Droid_X_Doug (Posts: 5993; Member since: 22 Dec 2010)
The claims of account spoofing will continue un-abated. It is a well-practiced action. Remember the saying - practice makes perfect? Well, they have practiced to perfection.
96. PhoneArenaUser (Posts: 5498; Member since: 05 Aug 2011)
Yes, I remember that. :)
10. Hammerfest (Posts: 383; Member since: 12 May 2012)
Its so NARROW... its part of the reason I hate the 16:9 aspect ratio (vs 4:3 or 16:10), sure this phone isnt 16:9... ITS WORSE
28. Droid_X_Doug (Posts: 5993; Member since: 22 Dec 2010)
New iDevice design paradigm (top secret, straight from the kitchen table no less...) - thin and minimalist. Time for a retro 1st gen Nano look (tall and narrow). You heard it first on PA.
99. doubleD (Posts: 78; Member since: 13 Dec 2010)
The nano comparrison is spot on. I thought the tall thin nano's were ugly, as well as this rendition of the iphone if these pics hold true. The only nano i thought looked good was the squarish one, 4th gen maybe?
4. dcgore (Posts: 227; Member since: 24 Feb 2012)
Really nothing new here. I think the Note 2 will be my next device.
27. aayupanday (Posts: 574; Member since: 28 Jun 2012)
Mine will be the Optimus G.
6. ivanko34 (Posts: 617; Member since: 04 Sep 2011)
Really ugly
7. turk_az (Posts: 40; Member since: 11 May 2012)
same as old ones but now its more ugly
8. RapidCat (Posts: 351; Member since: 12 Jun 2012)
next iPhone looks weird
iPhone 4 have better design
9. Berzerk000 (Posts: 4275; Member since: 26 Jun 2011)
They just stretched it out. Apple better pull something spectacular in it's features, or else this will be a bigger disappointment than the 4S was.
63. gallitoking (Posts: 4718; Member since: 17 May 2011)
4S dissapointment??? has been the best selling smartphone on ATT and Sprint and second on verizon.. how many can claim that.. U.S is the biggest market so here is were it counts ..sorry
73. MeoCao (unregistered)
iPhone will always a disappointment mate, LOL
77. gallitoking (Posts: 4718; Member since: 17 May 2011)
sales say otherwise..
88. Berzerk000 (Posts: 4275; Member since: 26 Jun 2011)
That's all you talk about, sales. I'm talking about actual product quality, and how expectations were met. All of these sales Apple are getting, they are getting them because of reputation. No one sees what anyone else is offering, because of reputation. If people went out and looked at other offerings before choosing the iPhone, I would bet that there would be a BIG dent in Apple's sales.
Though there are some people who genuinely prefer iOS, and I don't hold anything against them as long as they appreciate the other OS's for what they are.
Now, let's talk about the expectations. Expectations for the iPhone 4S:
New design
Bigger screen (4-4.3)
dual-core 1.2 GHz processor at least
Newly designed iOS
Last time I checked, the iPhone 4S had none of those things. No, you have to wait for the iPhone 6 to come out this year to get that, and we're not even entirely sure of what we might get.
You got the same design, same screen, HSPA+ 21 only through AT&T, an underclocked dual-core processor, iOS 5's only difference is the notification center, and you have the same amount of RAM.
Verizon and Sprint customers are still stuck with 3G, your processor won't hold up to future updates, you still have the same locked down restrictive OS you've had for 6 years, and you don't have enough RAM to get updates for more than 1 year without taking out the little features that you do gain with an update.
Get real, Gallito. If Apple doesn't make the iPhone 6 with quad-core (or dual A-15), LTE, redesigned iOS 6, and 1.5-2 GB RAM, it'll be as much of a disappointment as the 4S when it launched.
92. Berzerk000 (Posts: 4275; Member since: 26 Jun 2011)
Also, "U.S is the biggest market so here is were it counts". Hmmm... Well, by your logic, since iOS has about 30% smartphone market share in the U.S, and Android has about 65% in the U.S, and since the U.S is where it counts... I think you know where I'm going with this. Though, the last time I checked was in early July, so the numbers could have changed. I doubt Apple's market share has more than doubled since then though.
109. RORYREVOLUTION (Posts: 3108; Member since: 12 Jan 2010)
Bro, it doesnt take a genious to know by now that anything Apple puts out, it will sell. People see the "new iPhone" and they go crazy over it. But the rest of us, the people who actually know better, realize just how little of an upgrade the new one is.
12. modernkoro (Posts: 25; Member since: 27 Jan 2010)
what an ugly phone!!!
13. Aeires (unregistered)
So I heard you like your phone loooong.
14. RORYREVOLUTION (Posts: 3108; Member since: 12 Jan 2010)
Apple, "Same old iPhone, just with a different number next to it"
You make it more narrow and taller and that's it? Come on, I know it'll out sell the 4S as they always out sell the last Gen, but this is lazy.
35. SlimSoulja86 (Posts: 660; Member since: 03 Nov 2011)
I will have to agree with you there. I want my next iPhone to be different and "groundbreaking" not some iPhone 4S look alike. I'll be disappointed but I guess I will still buy it though. Or maybe keep my current one and get me some Samsung Galaxy Note 2. We will see. But I think We should all give it up. Apple will never leak their phone. These rumors are beginning to annoy me. Cos we all know its lies. Only Apple and those manufacturing the parts know how it looks like (not everyone though). The New iPhone (6th gen iPhone) will for sure look nothing like what these rumors are saying.
67. McLTE (Posts: 824; Member since: 18 Oct 2011)
This is what I don't understand about Apple consumers.. "I'll be disappointed but I guess I will still buy it though."
If you are disappointed, then let your money talk. Don't buy it! if More people do this, Apple will get the message and will start innovating.
100. doubleD (Posts: 78; Member since: 13 Dec 2010)
If the consumer wants iOS, this is really their only choice. That's why they buy it.
If I was determined to get a phone running iOS, I would buy the latest model, not something a year old, even if the older version looked better
89. Berzerk000 (Posts: 4275; Member since: 26 Jun 2011)
These have been going on for months. They have all been pretty consistent as well. I'm pretty sure it's safe to say that this is what the new iPhone will look like.
15. e.wvu (unregistered)
iPhone 4S with a boner.
33. dcgore (Posts: 227; Member since: 24 Feb 2012)
Maybe more like the Justin Bieber of phones?? kid is just growing up!
87. tedkord (Posts: 11712; Member since: 17 Jun 2009)
Good analogy. Getting taller, but still the same old thing - all looks, no talent.
16. darryl12132 (Posts: 22; Member since: 29 Jul 2012)
So should i get the note 2 or the iphone 5? im really new to the whole smartphone world
20. e.wvu (unregistered)
Wait for the Note 2. It has the specs that will make your phone "futureproof" as the iPhone 5 (or w/e they will call it) will have outdated specs within next year. And plus with the Note, it will feel like it's YOUR phone as it is fully customizable unlike the iPhone.
65. gallitoking (Posts: 4718; Member since: 17 May 2011)
no phone is future proof.. you drop that thing and it will break.. get something that works now... Apple works out of the box and no need to add widgets that dont work right and will only drain your battery..
74. PhoneArenaUser (Posts: 5498; Member since: 05 Aug 2011)
"Apple works out of the box..."
Samsung doesn't ?
"...no need to add widgets that dont work right..."
I agree with you, of course don't need to add widgets that don't work right, but you can add widgets that works right. :)
79. gallitoking (Posts: 4718; Member since: 17 May 2011)
before I reply I thought it was a hand coming out of the Apple in your avatar, now that I know what it is... I like it ....true there lots of widgets that work my favorite on Android was YouTube but ate my battery ..worth it though.
98. PhoneArenaUser (Posts: 5498; Member since: 05 Aug 2011)
"before I reply I thought it was a hand coming out of the Apple in your avatar, now that I know what it is... I like it ..."
Thank you, gallito. :)
90. e.wvu (unregistered)
I think you meant to say that not every phone is durable.... I'm talking about spec wise as that what is meant by "futureproof." the Note II has specs that will still be good for a person who signs for it for a 2-year contract and keeps it for the whole time period; and even longer. As for an iPhone that will have specs that well ... is already outdated when it's released. And with Android, you don't have to use widgets. It's a choice! As with the iPhone, you don't have a choice at all. All you get to do with an iPhone is arrange icons and put them in folders. That's really something to be proud about.
107. gallitoking (Posts: 4718; Member since: 17 May 2011)
I know I was just being an @ss
85. MARKSPEAR77 (Posts: 40; Member since: 24 Nov 2011)
I tell you iphone is boring....
101. clevername (Posts: 1436; Member since: 11 Jul 2008)
Future proof if you decide to install custom roms. Most people still don't do that. And I only bring that up because its a Samsung device. It'll probably get one major update, possibly 2 but not likely, in its lifetime. These updates will most likely be slow to release, and far in between. Meanwhile nexus devices will have seen twice as many.
Not bashing android...just putting it out there that US Samsung handsets don't get timely update, or even a multitude of them unless its a nexus device.
For example it took the us variants of the s2 more than 8 months to get android 4.0. I want to blame att but then I noticed the T-Mobile s2 only got its ics about a month earlier. Could be carriers or Sammie...either way you gotta wait.
I say wait for wp8 or the next nexus phone.:)
24. PhoneArenaUser (Posts: 5498; Member since: 05 Aug 2011)
I suggest you Galaxy Note II instead of iPhone.

The beginning of earnings season is always a nervous time for investors, especially when the economy isn't cooperating with strong growth. As analysts have ramped down their expectations for the coming quarter during the past several months, fears have risen about the slowing pace of growth. Yet lower expectations also make it easier for companies to surpass them, which could ignite another bull run. For now, though, investors remained conservative with the market near multiyear highs, and the Dow Jones Industrials (DJINDICES: ^DJI ) finished the day down 55 points.
Among Dow stocks, the biggest decliner was Boeing (NYSE: BA ) , which fell 2.6%. The aircraft manufacturer suffered another setback with its 787 Dreamliner today, when a Japan Airlines 787 suffered a fuel leak as it departed the gate at Boston's Logan Airport. The problem is just the latest in a series of issues with the new Dreamliner, and investors are worried that further problems could cause new delays and eventually even potential customer defections.
Elsewhere, Sears Holdings (NASDAQ: SHLD ) plunged 6% on news that board chairman Eddie Lampert will take over as CEO of the struggling retailer. Departing CEO Louis D'Ambrosio is leaving for personal reasons, but given that Lampert has engineered Sears' strategy for years, it only makes sense that he would take the reins and try to finish the job himself. With his hedge-fund background, though, shareholders may fear that Lampert will merely focus on asset sales rather than trying to foster the business.
Finally, Fusion-io (UNKNOWN: FIO.DL ) fell nearly 10% as an analyst downgraded shares of the enterprise-flash memory company. As Fool contributor Evan Niu discussed earlier today, alternatives from Intel (NASDAQ: INTC ) and the prospect of further competition could hurt the fast-growing cloud play going forward.

If you have ever been trapped in a malfunctioning elevator with strangers and found them so irritating that you tried prying open the doors yourself, you'll get the idea behind Cube. This is a claustrophobic sci-fi thriller shot on a single set in which everyday folk—a cop, a doctor, a student, an ex-con, an office worker and an idiot savant—wake one day to find themselves locked together in a cube-like room. They have no idea how they ended up there, nor who imprisoned them. To escape this mysteriously malevolent environment—adjoining cubes are booby-trapped with lethal devices that cause instant death—the characters will have to cooperate and trust each other. Fat chance.
Watching Cube, a Canadian film featuring a cast of unfamiliar actors, one is impressed that tyro director Vincenzo Natali managed such stylistic flair on an obviously skimpy budget. The film's plot and characters, however, are right out of a so-so Twilight Zone episode. (R)—L.R.
Bottom Line: Not nearly as three-dimensional as its title

A few years ago, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported that one out of every three black men who have sex with men are HIV positive. Since I am a physician who happens to be both black and homosexual, I belong to this risk group. For me, getting an HIV test is a yearly ritual—it's something many black men who have sex with men do because of the fear embedded in our psyches for simply being who we are.

A professional skeptic and an inspired word jockey, David Mamet can lay claim to the same connoisseurship of human folly as H. L. Mencken, who once observed that, in America, "only the man who was born with a petrified diaphragm can fail to laugh himself to sleep every night." Mamet's new Oval Office satire, "November" (well directed by Joe Mantello, at the Ethel Barrymore), is a hilarious demonstration of the fact that we live in an age of equality: all classes are criminal.

Take a journey with me as I learn to take insanely great pictures.

About a year ago, I wrote a blog called "Show Me the Money: Six Strategies to Put Your Cash to Work," where I talked about two new(ish) investment strategies my wife and I were using. I wrote a followup blog about the first strategy, Electronically Traded Funds (ETFs), where I compared Betterment vs. Wealthfront. Now here is a followup on the second newish strategy that you're probably not yet trying out, but absolutely should be: Peer to Peer lending... or put another way: Lending money to complete strangers as an investment strategy.
I'm going to write this blog as a step-by-step how-to guide on trying P2P lending. Don't think you have enough money to become an investor? Wrong. Just set aside $25 to invest in each of the 2 biggest platforms. Seriously, who can't part with $50 to try something that will change your perspective on lending?
First, more on what P2P lending is:
I'm going to share a story about the forest vs. the trees. But it's not the story you're expecting to hear.
My last blog post was about Doing Less, Better, which is my theme for 2015.
A big part of doing less, better is achieving focus. But that very word is often misunderstood. Focus means the elimination of distractions, not the mitigation of distractions. Let's dig into that more deeply:
The first hard thing in a startup is knowing what to focus on initially. When you first start, you don't have strong product/market fit in anything, so like any good LeanStartup you might start with a hypothesis and work through the build --> measure --> learn cycle as quickly and effectively as you can. The key is to find some early area of traction & demand that you can build off of.
There's a great article in the NYTimes about Slack, a new startup that the Valley is buzzing about. Slack is a business messaging & collaboration app, and it's really, really good. The reporter in the article questions whether this year-old company is really worth $2.8 billion.
Slack is not good because it has a ton of features. In fact, it's missing the things that I would expect it to have.
It's good -- and worth its valuation-- because it does less, better.
The things Slack chooses to do, it does insanely well.
This new startup, Jet.com, is looking to be the Costco of the web, and to undercut Amazon's prices by an average of 10%. They won't focus on speedy 2 day "prime" delivery. Instead, by being a member and paying a $49 annual fee (like you do with Amazon or with Costco), you'll get access to discounts, but the products will take longer to ship to you. This is a great model for non-time-sensitive things, like re-ordering diapers.
But the best part of it is how they're building a pre-launch interest list: When you sign up, they give you a unique sharing code. For example, mine is https://jet.com/#/ji/cj2tx and I'm currently member 124,837 of 124,877 on their interest list. The more people sign up based on your code, the more rewards you unlock. That's not all that new or innovative -- but the part that's great is that they're offering lifetime memberships and even stock options to their top sharers. Which is a great marketing move, although the reality is that getting 100k options doesn't mean much unless you know how many total shares are issued, and what the strike price is. But it's marketing genius!
At a recent DFJ venture capital conference, I heard the story of Arash Bayatmakou.
He fell from a 3rd story balcony a few years ago and landed on his neck, paralyzing him from the chest down.
Incredibly, he's determined to walk again. We exchanged emails after the conference and he signed off with this:
A high five, coming from a guy who's facing incredible challenges every day just to get back to doing the things we take for granted. I loved it, and decided that from now on, I'm going to sign my emails with a high five as well, as a tribute to him and his positive attitude.
Time is our most precious asset, and none of us know how much of it we have left.
It's ironic, then, how easily we let it slip away. An hour for a meeting, an hour in traffic.
Next time you get asked to spend an hour doing something, just hold it up to this filter before you decide:
I'm going to share one of my most powerful negotiating techniques. The funny thing is that up until a year ago, I didn't even realize this was a technique -- I thought everyone did this. But apparently not -- here's the backstory:
But before we get started, remember what Spiderman was told: "With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility." The technique I'm going to share with you can be abused, and when it is, you'll come off as a total jerk. That might be fine if that's what you're going for. But make sure you focus on using it responsibly. More on that at the end.
I absolutely love this video of Zuck talking about Facebook back in 2005. If I had been in that room, I wouldn't have been able to guess that Facebook would become a $180+ billion company.
The best part: Zuck describes Facebook in minute 1 as an "online directory for colleges." Not only does that not like a billion dollar business, but it also sounds like a terrible startup idea.
The lesson: The key nugget is "I launched it in Harvard in early Feb 2004, and within a couple of weeks, 2/3 of the school had signed up". That is an incredibly strong signal that there's a really good initial product/market fit. This is a recurring theme that also permeated Y Combinator's recent Startup School, which talks about the importance of finding product/market fit above all else.
The kicker: I love how, in minute 3:55 Zuck is asked "And where are you taking Facebook?" He responds with "I mean, there doesn't necessarily have to be more."
The richest 1% of Americans have access to great financial tools and advice: Firms like Goldman Sachs provide them with (legal) tricks like Tax Loss Harvesting (TLH). Never heard of TLH? Neither had I until my buddy Andrew Dumas, after reading my post titled "Show Me The Money: Six Strategies to Put Your Cash to Work," mentioned a new startup called Weathfront that was on the cutting edge of ETF fund-based portfolio management. This opened a whole new world of investing up to me, which I'd like to share with you.
But first some background: In my past blog post I talked about ETFs, or Exchange Traded Funds, which are a class of funds that create a basket of stocks based on a particular segment of the market. For example, in the past if you wanted to invest in technology companies you basically had two options: You could pick the companies you thought would be the winners, like Google and Yahoo and buy stock in those directly, or you could invest in a mutual fund that has an expert who picks the companies, and you'd pay a management fee for his or her expertise. But ETFs offer a third choice, and it's worth really understanding how they work. Here's a description from Wikipedia:
I'm the SVP of Strategic Partnerships at ShareThis. It's my job to find the right strategic partners for us to work with. This morning, in the shower, I thought "I'd like to have a simple combo slide deck + narrated screencast to show to prospective partners."
So, I just finished hacking together a simple site that explains our business. It's something I did in just under an hour using a combination of HTML, Google App Engine, Google Slides, HelloBar, Vimeo, iShowU, Google Labs' ShortLinks and AdRoll. It was fun to make it and I expect it'll prove useful.
That activity, of taking an idea I had in the shower this morning and hacking it together in an hour today, got me thinking about the difference between makers and managers, and about how few managers really appreciate (or are able to participate in) the creation process -- especially when it involves some amount of hacking.
I find that managers who are also makers have an ability to key in on opportunities that non-maker managers miss. They have a better ability to connect with their teams. They can go a level deeper into projects than non-maker managers. They can ask more intelligent questions. They can conceptualize and create efficient processes much more quickly and easily. Or to put it another way, they can be much better managers by also being makers.

One of our readers thinks the 32 year old that she is seeing is being a gentleman. He wants to wait before they have sex. She believed this was because of his religious upbringing but now she isn't sure. A couple of her guy friends told her that he probably isn't into her that much because a lot of men don't want to wait long.
I hate to stress her out but men delaying sex on their own doesn't seem to happen often. It could be because of religious reasons but if he doesn't say that, you probably aren't going at the top of his priority list of things to do.
If a guy is asking/making a woman wait, is that a bad sign? Are there legitimate reasons a man wants to wait for sex?
Would you consider waiting a couple of months if it meant that you could become closer before getting physical?

Two of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's earliest compositions have been discovered.
Researchers in Salzburg, Austria have unveiled two piano pieces they believe Mozart composed as a child. Mozart began playing music at the age of three and composing at the age of five.
The compositions are part of the musician's first orchestral movement. Researchers have estimated that Mozart composed the pieces at the ages seven and eight.
He wrote more than 600 pieces music before he died from rheumatic fever at the age 35.

MORE THAN three decades ago, state lawmakers established the Pennsylvania Department of Aging - an agency dedicated to protecting residents 60 and older from neglect, abuse and fraud.
There were few safeguards, however, for people under 60 with disabilities.
So in 2010, then-Gov. Ed Rendell signed a law - the Adult Protective Services Act - designed to help adults, 18 to 59, with physical or intellectual disabilities who have been abused, neglected or abandoned.
Yet, more than three years later, the program, administered by the Department of Public Welfare, is not fully operational.

The deference in efficacy of Metoprolol for ischemic and Carvedilol for non ischemic heart failure appears to come Patho-physiology of heart failure in these conditions, Beta -1 receptor density is higher in patients of ischemic heart failure as compared to non-ischemic heart failure, so Metoprolol succinate a selective Beta-1 receptor blocker has a edge in treating heart failure due to ischemia.
Infracted myocardium is denervated so nor-epinephrine released is less as compared to non-ischemic myocardium; Carvedilol a non selective blocker; beta-1, beta-2 and alpha blocker reduces myocardial non-epinephrine levels, has an edge in treating non-ischemic heart failure.
In COMET trial Metoprolol tarterate was used, which is a short acting drug, with higher peaks and lower troughs, the higher peak concentrations lead to surges of maximal beta-receptor blockade and loss of selectivity, and the lower troughs lead to loss of beta-1 blockade and potential rebound. These fluctuvations may be reason of lesser efficacy of Metoprolol in ischemic heart failure in COMET study.

America is now officially standing with the coalition of fighters opposing Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's regime.
President Barack Obama made his declaration in an exclusive interview with Barbara Walters scheduled to air on ABC's "20/20" Friday.
"We've made a decision that the Syrian opposition coalition is now inclusive enough, is reflective and representative enough of the Syrian population, that we consider them the legitimate representative of the Syrian people in opposition to the Assad regime," the president said.
France, Britain, and the Gulf countries are also unveiling measures Wednesday to support the newly formed Syrian group.
The news comes ahead of an international meeting on the Syrian crisis.
Despite the new support, world leaders remain concerned about elements of the opposition that may be affiliated with al Qaeda terrorists in Iraq.
"Not everybody who's participating on the ground in fighting Assad are people who we are comfortable with," Obama said. "There are some who, I think, have adopted an extremist agenda, an anti-U.S. agenda, and we are going to make clear to distinguish between those elements."

According to Wiiware.nintendolife, they just might be another Castlevania in the works, Castlevania rules over other n.e.s games i think
There Can't be too much Castlevania. Castlevania kicks ass!!!!A rare photo of IGA sans his cowboy hat and whip
Don't fret - Koji Igarashi is still alive and well, Konami confirms
When Konami revealed its Castlevania series reboot Lords of Shadow at this year's E3, the absence of Koji "IGA" Igarashi raised some eyebrows.
The legendary producer - who has been the Castlevania franchise head man since the days of Symphony of the Night - didn't seem to be having any input in the upcoming 360/PS3 release, with programming duties being handed to Spanish code shop MercurySteam and the producer's seat going to Metal Gear Solid creator Hideo Kojima.
This naturally sparked rumours that the whip-loving developer had left Konami - and the Castlevania series - forever.
However, Kotaku has pressed Konami for answers and the Japanese company has confirmed that IGA is still around and more importantly he's been involved with the forthcoming WiiWare title Castlevania: The Adventure Rebirth. This fact alone should please fans of the vampire-hunting series.
Intriguing, Konami also mentioned that IGA is working on a new project which can't be revealed at this time. Putting aside the bitter taste of IGA's previous non-Castlevania outing and the embarrassment that was Castlevania Judgment, we're hoping for a proper Wii adventure or another 2D DS release.

Alize Johnson split two defenders as he raced toward the basket. Halfway down the lane, he took off and threw down a highlight-reel one-hand power dunk. That play provided the exclamation point as St. John Neumann thumped Wellsboro, 65-45 Wednesday at the Catholic Community Center.
It was all the plays that came before the dunk, however, which showed how dangerous Neumann can be. The Knights have some new faces and new roles this season, but everything finally came together. Starters and reserves played well, everyone unselfishly moved the ball, the defense was outstanding and Neumann (7-0) made a nice statement against a 2013 Class AA state qualifier.
"It's nice when we all play together. It felt like last year," guard Richard Allen said. "We were going back and forth, making them run and having fun."

St. John Neumann's Richard Allen drives down the lane against Wellsboro during the third quarter on Wednesday night at St. John Neumann. The Knights defeated the Green Hornets, 65-45, to move to 7-0. View additional photos at cu.sungazette.com
Johnson recorded a triple-double with two minutes remaining in the third quarter, leading a well-rounded collective effort. He scored 19 points, grabbed 15 rebounds and dealt 11 assists. Allen added 16 points, five rebounds and five assists while Nasza Short had 14 points and five rebounds off the bench. Neumann made 15 of 23 second-half shots to break open the game and nearly every shot was a high-percentage one.
Despite steamrolling through its first six games and beating each team by 18 or more points, the Knights felt like something was missing. Not everyone seemed to be on the same page a season after Neumann captured its first district championship since 2000. That changed last night as the Knights showed how good they can really be.
"Alize did his thing and topped it with a nice play, but everybody contributed," Neumann coach Paul Petcavage said. "That's what I'm most proud of. We looked like a team for really the first time this year."
It was an impressive performance coming four nights after Wellsboro threw a serious scare into the state's No. 6-ranked Class AA team, Lewisburg. Neumann dominated from the start, building an early nine-point lead. It moved ahead by 11 midway through the second quarter and Wellsboro (5-3) never pulled within single digits again.
Wellsboro guard Mike Pietropola scored a game-high 20 points and hit six 3-pointers, but Neumann stifled all other aspects of the Hornets' offense. Noah Beiter helped hold leading scorer Kieron Smethers to one point and, together, the defense held the team's top two scorers to nine combined points.
Wellsboro coach Todd Outman declined to comment afterward.
The Hornets cut a 16-point deficit to 10 at halftime on Pietropola's last-second 3-pointer but the momentum did not last. Neumann opened the third quarter on a 9-2 run as Allen really started asserting himself. The senior guard, one of three starters back from last year's 24-win team, scored 12 second-half points and added three assists.
Allen played strong defense, was brilliant in the open court and made all six of his second-half shots. Allen had a hand in 14 of Neumann's 20 third-quarter points and his layup off Johnson's assist made it 51-28 while giving Johnson a triple-double.
"The first half I didn't think I did a lot but the second half I feel like I was getting my second wind," Allen said. "I wanted to be up by 20 the whole time. I didn't even want them to be close and we played a lot of unselfish basketball out there."
"He (Allen) is an important cog. He contributes defensively and offensively," Petcavage said. "He doesn't seem to run out of energy."
None of the Knights did last night. Even with victory secured late in the game, players like Kamaal Burkholder were hustling after loose balls and keeping possessions alive with hard work. Ryan Reid helped Neumann dominate the boards and freshman guard Kevin Anderson again showed a lot of potential while scoring eight points.
And Johnson found the perfect way to cap the team's complete performance. The all-state center caught a pass near the top of the key, split the defenders and threw down his power dunk over another defender as nearly everyone in the gym stood and applauded.
"I didn't think he was going to do it," Allen said. "I said, 'What is he doing?' The plan was to pull it out, but he took off and everybody there was like, 'Oh my gosh.'"
Kieron Smethers 0 1-2 1, Joe Doganiero 3 2-2 8, Mike Pietropola 6 2-4 20, Dylan Prough 2 3-3 7, Dawson Prough 2 4-4 8, Nick Marple 0 0-0 0, Jacob Mitchell 0 1-4 1. Totals 13 13-19 45.

2 May 2012: The Dominican Republic's National Council for Climate Change and Clean Development Mechanism (CNCCMDL) held a policy briefing to agree on the process for preparing and launching a national strategy to strengthen human resources and skills to advance green, low-emission and climate-resilient development. The strategy process is scheduled to be launched in July 2012.
The policy briefing, which was held on 2 May 2012, in Santo Domingo, the Dominican Republic, provided an opportunity to present and review the outcomes of the workshop on "Developing Results-based Action to Strengthen Human Resources, Learning and Skills to Advance Green, Low Emission and Climate Resilient Development," which was held from 24-25 April 2012. This workshop was organized within the framework of the UN CC:Learn Project on "Strengthening Human Resources and Skills to Address Climate Change."
Issues discussed during the briefing include: establishment of a consultation process to review a draft of the national strategy in June; preparation of a declaration on strengthening human resource capacities to advance green, low emission and climate resilient development, for endorsement at the strategy launch event; exploring of modalities and partnerships for implementing the proposed action with development partners; preparation of a pilot action plan to strengthen institutional capacities to deliver climate change learning; and the review and monitoring of the implementation of the strategy.
The One UN Training Service Platform on Climate Change (UN CC:Learn) is a collaborative initiative involving 32 UN agencies that supports Member States, UN agencies and other development partners in designing and implementing country-driven, results-oriented and sustainable learning to address climate change. The UN CC:Learn Secretariat is serviced by the UN Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR). [UN CC:Learn Press Release] [IISD RS Story on the Training Workshop]

Nutella Filled Pretzel Bites
Yes, I played around with my jar of Nutella again.
This time I decided to stuff some soft pretzel bites with nutella. I got the idea after my peanut butter stuffed soft pretzel bites. The chocolate hazelnut spread gets a little melty when cooked inside the soft pretzel dough, so it sort of oozes out, which I love.
I wish I could have stuffed more nutella inside for a full lava effect but then the soft pretzel dough wouldn't seal properly.
I'm so used to savory soft pretzel bites, but I liked this sweet chocolate version.
|Nutella Filled Pretzel Bites
- 3/4 cups warm (110 to 115 degrees F) water
- 1/2 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoons salt
- 1 1/8 tsp active dry yeast
- 2 1/4 cups all purpose flour
- 1 ounce unsalted butter, melted
- 1/3 cup baking soda
- 1 egg yolk
- Nutella spread for filling
- Combine the warm water, sugar and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer and sprinkle the yeast on top. Allow it to sit for about 5 minutes. Add the flour and butter and using the dough hook attachment, mix on low speed until well combined. Change to medium speed and knead about 5 minutes until the dough is smooth and pulls away from the side of the bowl. Remove the dough from the bowl, and place the dough in a glass bowl oiled with vegetable oil. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for approximately 50 to 55 minutes or until the dough has doubled in size.
- Divide the dough into 8 pieces. Roll out each piece of dough into a 12 inch rope. Using a sharp knife, cut rope into 1 inch pieces.
- Take one piece of dough and flatten to a square/rectangle with your fingers. Then spread some nutella on about half of the square/rectangle (about 1/4 tsp). Make sure you don't reach the edges of the dough or else you can't completely seal the dough. Seal the dough back up to resemble the piece you originally cut, so it is cylindrical in shape and looks like a soft pretzel bite. You can shape it a little between your fingers. Repeat with remaining dough.
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
- Using a large sauce pan, fill with water. Bring the water to a boil and add the baking soda.
- Place the pretzels into the boiling water for 30 seconds. Remove them from the water using a large flat spatula. Place pretzels on baking sheet lined with parchment paper or silpat mat.
- Beat one egg yolk. Brush the top of each pretzel bite with the beaten egg yolk. Bake until dark golden brown in color, approximately 6 minutes.

Yet another great combination! I still need to try out the PB ones, too. Can't wait!!
OMG i think i would eat all of these if i made them! They look really good…I'll have to check out your other versions also!=)
Wow, brilliant! Those look like pillowy soft little bites of heaven!
I bet the nutty nutella will give a flavorful gooey fillings. Looks fabulously done.
Oh man, these look delicious! I love nutella…never thought to put it in a pretzel bite! Genius!
Thanks for the recipe!
I followed it exactly and ended up with lovely bite-size pretzels!!
It was indeed a lot of work to stuff each one (50+ pieces) but the turn out was awesome.
I also stuffed them with mini blocks of cheddar cheese (just those sandwich slices)
and balls of mozzarella cheese just because they were in the fridge.
Since you mentioned combos, I was thinking about doing a pizza sauce and mozzarella cheese to make them really like combos.
I'll have to make them again and try making pizza pretzels!
wish me luck!

Solutions for Chapter 1
Quality is an attribute of the product that determines its fitness for use. Quality being an attribute of a product is not easy to define or it is not possible to give a more perfect definition for it. Quality is a relative term and a lot of opportunity is available for improvement in any process. It is a qualitative measure, an aesthetic value not to be measured by numbers. It is the characteristics a product should possess. We say a product in the market is of good quality when it satisfies certain specifications that are required for its long lasting performance.
When we have a product from different company and we opt to choose one may be from our past experience with that company we say the product is of better quality.
Quality is varying aspect for example quality of the food it appears different in different persons perspective. However we try to associate numerical value on the basis of the general trend.
To achieve a particular standard we must strive hard and that standard which is the prime factor is the quality.
Quality does not always implies the highest standard of the manufactured product but the required standard is the one below the highest standard.
It cannot be precisely defined it is a varying measure.

Sustainable forest management
Close to 1.6 billion people depend on forest resources for their survival. Forest resources directly contribute to the livelihoods of 90% of the 1.2 billion people living in extreme poverty.
Forests provide:
- food
- building materials
- medicines
- wood for fuel
- a source of income
Indirectly, forest resources also provide essential environmental services, such as:
- maintaining soil stability
- protecting water flow and quality
- regulating global climate by absorbing and storing carbon
Around 13 million hectares of forest are lost every year. The poorest people feel the impact of this destruction the most, as they rely on the forest for natural resources and their livelihoods.
What WWF is doing
We work with local communities across the world to:
- help them to secure their rights to manage the forest resources on which their livelihoods depend
- support them to manage forests sustainably, for their own well-being as well as to protect the environment
- provide opportunities for generating long-term incomes from sustainable forest management, for example by providing business training and linking them to national and international markets
- enable them to gain FSC certification and access markets for sustainably managed timber

Experience all the sights and sounds of fabulous New Vegas, brought to you by Vault-Tec, America's First Choice in Post Nuclear Simulation. Explore the treacherous wastes of the Great Southwest from the safety and comfort of your very own vault: Meet new people, confront terrifying creatures, and arm yourself with the latest high-tech weaponry as you make a name for yourself on a thrilling new journey across the Mojave wasteland.
Interesting plot
The return of the companion system is great specially making their related quests.
Better developed environment compared to FO3.
The Karma and reputation being separated makes the player decisions more simple when facing relationship and moral issues.
Hardcore mode for the win.
Weapons, lots and lots of them.
Consistent fluff with previous FO games, unlike FO3 (eg. NCR expansionism and BoS being the dicks they always were).
Combat armor is awesome once again.
War. War never changes.
Although this game has its drawbacks, and many bugs, it is still an excellent piece. Even more choices, more guns, more ammo, more factions, better combat (DT instead of DR, ADS) this game is bloody brilliant.
A very accurate depiction of what life in Southwestern America is really like.
Epic game like Fallout 3. One of the best ever.
This game served as a small excuse for the work of modern developers and their products. Many of us know that in the present time the majority of games are made and sold with the use of standard business model.
FNV was a really nice dive into the old retro-scifi atmosphere of classic Fallout series. The return to orange gamma after FO3 (which does not fit to Fallout IMO), old Fallout OSTs by Mark Morgan, new vaults with horrible and nevertheless exciting settings, dialog options with similar variety of humor in some cases...
However, as we sometimes say in Russia, if you want to make good for a person, make bad things to him/her instead, and then return the things in the previous state.
When you proceed to the very end, the game tends to be more and more like a post-apocalyptic FPS. The turn-based mode (named VATS here) is suitable and convenient only for fighting with Deathclaws. I even did not manage to complete the game, because I figured out that my biggest interest was in completing side quests, not finishing the main storyline.
The four addons coming in Special Edition can give some more hours of gameplay, but they don't save the game either.
And when I completed them all, and discovered all the locations on the map, I even was not able to start the game from the beginning again, because everything is learned by heart.
Still, I think that this direction for the modern Fallouts is more suitable than this of the Fallout 3.
Too bad we will not ever see Van Buren.
i'm just a Fallout nerd, that's why i give it a 10.
A bit to lighter than fallout 3. Fallout 3 was better because of how dark it was. New Vegas however just was too happy and non dark. Overall, it is still astounding but FO3 was funner.
Sandstorms are really impressive, and world feels like it could be (almost) real. And I still hate NCR.
Pure Zany fun, With a lot of replayability even without modding.
Good RPG and moral choices.

On Thursday, the IBF ordered RING heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko to defend its belt against unbeaten Kubrat Pulev, organization Championships Chairman Lindsey Tucker informed RingTV.com.
"Pulev is the mandatory challenger. He won in a box-off that we had and, really, he beat two guys. He beat [Alexander] Ustinov for the number two spot and then he beat Tony Thompson for the number two spot, so he's our mandatory," said Tucker, referring to Pulev's 11th-round knockout of Ustinov in September 2012 and his unanimous decision over Thompson in August 2013.
"But because Klitschko is the unified champion, we have to wait to go into the rotation. But our mandatory was definitely due some time ago. So now, we sent the letter out to get them to start negotiating to get this fight going. They have 30 days to negotiate and if they can't get the deal done within the next 30 days, then the next step is to call a purse bid. They have 30 days and then on the 31st day, the letter would go out calling for the purse bid."
Tucker sent the notifications to Sauerland Events, which promotes Pulev, and K2 Promotions, which has Klitschko.
"On June 6, if they haven't reached a deal, then we would call for a purse bid. Now sometimes, there are requests from both sides to give them a little more time to reach a deal,"said Tucker. "We would give them another 10 days, so that would probably be June 16. Assuming they don't reach a deal in 30 days, we would probably give them another 11 days until that Tuesday, June 17. So the purse bid would be on June 17, and they can have time to reach a deal up until June 16."
Pulev's promoter said he does not believe negotiations will be an issue.
"The negotiations with Team Klitschko have already begun," said Kalle Sauerland. "We are excited to present a heavyweight bout in cooperation with K2, which is deserving of its heavyweight world championship status."
The 6-foot-4 Pulev (20-0, 11 knockouts), 33, was last in the ring for his second consecutive stoppage victory, a third-round knockout of Ivica Perkovic on April 5.
The 6-6 Klitschko (62-3, 52 KOs), 38, made his 16th defense with last month's fifth-round knockout against Alex Leapai, whom he dropped once in the first round and twice in the fifth. Klitschko also holds the WBA and WBO titles.
"That's what I call a late birthday gift. I was ringside when Wladimir defended his belts a few weeks ago. It was a walk in the park for him against Leapai," said Pulev. "When Klitschko meets me inside the ring, I will cause him real problems to say the least. I will show the fans worldwide that Klitschko is no invincible machine and fulfill my dream."

Emergency Managers Weather Information Network
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1) What is EMWIN?
The Emergency Managers Weather Information Network (EMWIN) is a service of the National Weather Service and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). It began operation in Washington DC in 1994, with a mission of providing severe weather information to Emergency Managers. It has grown in use to be a significant tool for Emergency Managers in severe weather events across the United States. Detailed EMWIN network information is available at http://iwin.nws.noaa.gov/emwin/index.htm.
EMWIN information is available through several sources including satellite, radio broadcast, and the internet. In north central Texas, EMWIN broadcast service is a cooperative effort of the National Weather Service, the Motorola Amateur Radio Club of North Texas, and other supporting organizations. EMWIN broadcast operates 24 hours a day, delivering near real-time information on severe weather in the area including forecasts, weather watches, warnings, and radar updates. Currently four transmitter sites in north central Texas allow EMWIN data to be received by approximately 80% of the population served by the Fort Worth office of the National Weather Service.
2) What information can I receive from EMWIN?
EWMIN broadcast delivers text and graphic information for the DFW area including:
3) I can get weather information from the internet. What�s different about EMWIN broadcast?
EMWIN information is available to the public through several sources including the internet. During severe weather, access to information often becomes slow as servers become overloaded by high demand for this information or disconnected completely due to service failures of cable and telephone DSL service. The DFW EMWIN broadcast system receives its information from two satellite receivers. If one fails, the system automatically switches to the backup. The system also has emergency power capability, allowing it to perform even when commercial power is not available. The information being transmitted has been tailored for storm spotters and local emergency management groups. A key feature of the system is supplying radar graphics to storm spotter vehicles, a service not available through any other source in the metroplex. The service can be used as a primary data source for Emergency Managers, or as a backup in case of failure of other sources.
4) What do I need to receive EMWIN broadcast?
You need a computer running Windows, a scanner or other VHF receiver (160 MHz), a demodulator, and a software package to decode the information. The resources required for EMWIN reception on a computer are very small, so almost any pc will work. An inexpensive radio scanner can be purchased at a local electronics store. If you are more than 10 miles from the transmitter site, you will likely need an external antenna for reliable reception. Demodulators are available from several companies - refer to the EMWIN homepage: http://iwin.nws.noaa.gov/emwin/index.htm for further details. Software is also available from multiple sources, ranging from free to less than $100 per copy - depending on the features you need. See the EMWIN homepage for specific sources.
5) Which transmitter will provide the best signal for my use in North Texas?
Four transmitter sites are located throughout the service area of the Fort Worth WFO. All sites transmit data at 1200 bits per second (1200, N, 8, 2). Coverage maps for the various sites are provided to assist in selecting the best transmitter frequency to use based on your location. Click the site names below for estimated coverage information.
Fort Worth 100 watts 1200,N,8,2 163.3250 MHz
Mesquite 100 watts 1200,N,8,2 168.8125 MHz
Denton 100 watts 1200,N,8,2 168.7125 MHz
Paris 100 watts 1200,N,8,2 168.7125 MHz
6) Where can I get additional information about EMWIN?
Several good sources of information exist on the internet.
- EMWIN homepage: http://iwin.nws.noaa.gov/emwin/index.htm
Or send email to firstname.lastname@example.com for comments and questions about the DFW EMWIN rebroadcast system.
7) I receive only about 70% of the EMWIN information correctly. Where can I look to solve the problem?
Your problem could be any of several things. First, Check your receiver's antenna connection. A simple test is to turn up the speaker on your scanner and listen to the audio from the rebroadcast site. If the signal is noisy or scratchy, you probably do not have a strong enough signal. Try another transmitter site near you, or you may need an external antenna.
