FREDDY ENRIQUE PORRAS, PETITIONER,v.GROUNDS,*FN1 RESPONDENT.
Petitioner is a state prisoner without counsel seeking a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. Respondent moves to dismiss this action as untimely. Dckt. No. 10. Petitioner opposes, arguing that he is excused from the one year statute of limitations because he is "actually innocent" of the crimes for which was convicted. Dckt. No. 16. For the following reasons, respondent's motion must be granted.
I. Procedural History
Petitioner was convicted of seven counts of forcible lewd acts with a child under the age of fourteen and was sentenced to forty-two years in prison. Resp.'s Mot. to Dism., Docs. Lodged in Supp. Thereof (" Lodg. Doc.") 1. He appealed his conviction, arguing that the prosecution of three of the counts violated the ex post facto clause of the United States Constitution. Lodg. Doc. 2. The California Court of Appeal, Third Appellate District, affirmed the conviction, and the California Supreme Court denied review on September 17, 2008. Lodg. Docs. 2-4.
Petitioner filed three state habeas petitions challenging his conviction. Two petitions were filed on December 5, 2008, one with the California Court of Appeal, Third Appellate District, and the other in the California Supreme Court. Lodg. Docs. 5, 7. The petition filed with the Court of Appeal was denied on December 18, 2008. Lodg. Doc. 6. The petition filed in the California Supreme Court was denied on June 10, 2009. Lodg. Doc. 8. Petitioner's third state habeas petition was filed in the California Superior Court for the County of Sacramento on September 3, 2009, and was denied on November 9, 2009. Lodg. Docs. 9, 10. The instant petition, which only challenges three of the seven counts for which petitioner was convicted, was filed on June 30, 2011.*fn2 Dckt. No. 1.
II. Statute of Limitations
A one-year limitations period for seeking federal habeas relief begins to run from the latest of the date the judgment became final on direct review, the date on which a state-created impediment to filing is removed, the date the United States Supreme Court makes a new rule retroactive to cases on collateral review, or the date on which the factual predicate of a claim could have been discovered through the exercise of due diligence. 28 U.S.C. § 2244(d)(1).
There is no statutory tolling of the limitations period "from the time a final decision is issued on direct state appeal [to] the time the first state collateral challenge is filed . . . ." Nino v. Galaza, 183 F.3d 1003, 1006 (9th Cir. 1999). However, once a petitioner properly files a state post-conviction application the period is tolled, and remains tolled for the entire time that application is "pending." 28 U.S.C. § 2244(d)(2). "[A]n application is 'properly filed' when its delivery and acceptance are in compliance with the applicable laws and rules governing filings." Artuz v. Bennett, 531 U.S. 4, 8 (2000). In California, a properly filed post-conviction application is "pending" during the intervals between a lower court decision and filing a new petition in a higher court. Carey v. Saffold, 536 U.S. 214, 223 (2002). A federal habeas application does not provide a basis for statutory tolling. Duncan v. Walker, 533 U.S. 167, 181-82 (2001).
Petitioner has the burden of proving he is entitled to statutory tolling. Banjo v. Ayers, 614 F.3d 946, 967 (9th Cir. 2012).
III. Analysis
In this case, the statute of limitations began to run when petitioner's conviction became final on direct review. See 28 U.S.C. § 2244(d)(1)(A). The California Supreme Court denied review on September 17, 2008. Lodg. Doc. 4. The conviction became final within the meaning of section 2244(d)(1)(A) when the time for filing a petition for writ of certiorari expired ninety days later, on December 16, 2008. Supreme Ct. R. 13; Bowen v. Roe, 188 F.3d 1157, 1158-59 (9th Cir. 1999). The one-year limitations period commenced running the following day. Patterson v. Stewart, 251 F.3d 1243, 1246 (9th Cir. 2001). Thus, petitioner had until December 16, 2008 to file his federal habeas petition. However, he did not file the instant petition until June 30, 2011.
Defendant argues that even with statutory tolling petitioner failed to timely file his federal petition. Dckt. No. 10 at 3-6. Petitioner, who has the burden of showing facts entitling him to tolling, does not dispute that, even with statutory tolling, he failed to file his petition within the limitations period.*fn3 Petitioner claims, however, that he is excused from the one-year statute of limitations because he is actually innocent of the crimes for which he was convicted. Dckt. No. 15 at 2-3.
A credible claim of actual innocence constitutes an equitable exception to the statute of limitations. Lee v. Lampert, 653 F.3d 929, 932-33 (9th Cir. 2011). In order to qualify for this exception, however, a petitioner must show "that it is more likely than not that no reasonable juror would have convicted him in the light of the new evidence." Schlup v. Delo, 513 U.S. 298, 327 (1995).
This exacting standard "permits review only in the 'extraordinary' case," but it "does not require absolute certainty about the petitioner's guilt or innocence." . . . As we have previously said, "where post-conviction evidence casts doubt on the conviction by undercutting the reliability of the proof of guilt, but not by affirmatively proving innocence, that can be enough to pass through the Schlup gateway to allow consideration of otherwise barred claims."
Lee, 653 F.3d at 938 (quoting House v. Bell, 547 U.S. 518, 539 (2006); Sistrunk v. Armenakis, 292 F.3d 669, 673 (9th Cir.2002)). "Schlup requires a petitioner 'to support his allegations of constitutional error with new reliable evidence-whether it be exculpatory scientific evidence, trustworthy eyewitness accounts, or critical physical evidence-that was not presented at trial.'" Id. (citing Schlup, 513 U.S. at 324).
Here, petitioner has not made a credible factual showing of actual innocence. Rather, he presses the technical claim that he is actually innocent because a jury would not have found him guilty of the three counts he currently challenges absent the constitutional errors that occurred at his trial. Dckt. No. 15 at 2. He does not proffer any new evidence or even argue that he is factually innocent of the crimes for which he was convicted. See Bousley v. United States, 523 U.S. 614, 623 (1998) ("'[A]ctual innocence' means factual innocence, not mere legal insufficiency."). Because petitioner has failed to provide new evidence demonstrating that he is factually innocent, he is not entitled to the actual innocence equitable exception to the statute of limitations.
IV. Conclusion
The undersigned finds that the petition was not timely filed. Accordingly, it is hereby RECOMMENDED that:
1. Respondent's September 13, 2011 motion to dismiss be granted; and
2. The Clerk be directed to close the case.
These findings and recommendations are submitted to the United States District Judge assigned to the case, pursuant to the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(l). Within fourteen days after being served with these findings and recommendations, any party may file written objections with the court and serve a copy on all parties. Such a document should be captioned "Objections to Magistrate Judge's Findings and Recommendations." Failure to file objections within the specified time may waive the right to appeal the District Court's order. Turner v. Duncan, 158 F.3d 449, 455 (9th Cir. 1998); Martinez v. Ylst, 951 F.2d 1153 (9th Cir. 1991). In his objections petitioner may address whether a certificate of appealability should issue in the event he files an appeal of the judgment in this case. See Rule 11, Federal Rules Governing Section 2255 Cases (the district court must issue or deny a certificate of appealability when it enters a final order adverse to the applicant).

United States Of Secrets, Part TwoSeries Website »
Episode Guide »
In the second part of "United States of Secrets," FRONTLINE explores the role of Silicon Valley in the National Security Agency's dragnet. As big technology companies encouraged users to share more and more information about their lives, they created a trove of data that could be useful not simply to advertisers, but also to the government. The revelations of NSA contractor Edward Snowden would push Silicon Valley into the center of a debate over privacy and government surveillance.

2 break-ins reported on Mountain Ave. in Westerly
2 break-ins reported on Mountain Ave. in Westerly
WESTERLY — Detectives with the Westerly Police Department are investigating two break-ins at homes on Mountain Avenue that occurred early Monday morning.
Westerly Police received information from the homeowners of 12 and 16 Mountain Ave., reporting an attempted break-in at the first home and a break-in at the second, with cash from a wallet stolen at the second home, according to Police Chief Edward St. Clair.
The break-ins included unlocked vehicles outside both homes, from which loose change was taken.
St. Clair said the incidents are still under investigation by department detectives, but they believe the events may be connected to an earlier series of thefts from unlocked cars throughout town.
Last week, the department arrested three juveniles for the break-ins.
"They may not have been responsible for these incidents, but we believe there are others," St. Clair said.
Detectives are processing fingerprints lifted from several locations within the homes, and have a few leads on possible suspects, according to St. Clair.
Carlo Giorno, owner of the residence at 12 Mountain Ave., said he was home when the thief broke the screen on one of his windows around 3 a.m. Monday morning. Giorno believes that when he heard the noise and got up to investigate, he scared the suspect away.
Giorno added that when he let his dog out, he heard the animal barking at and chasing someone away.
His neighbors' home at 16 Mountain Ave. was also broken into, and cash was stolen from a wallet when the homeowners discovered the break-in later that morning. In both incidents, Giorno said people were home when the thief tried to break in.
"It's incredible to me that they actually got in, or tried to, while there were people sleeping upstairs," Giorno said.
Since the incident, Giorno and his neighbors have purchased alarm systems for their homes.
"Everyone's stepping up, trying to be more cautious and alert," he said.
Anyone with information regarding the break-ins is asked to call the Westerly Police Department at 401-596-2022.

This week, my daughter and some 126 classmates will graduate from Middlebury Union High School. It is a moment of transition, coming of age, leaving the world of childhood, stepping into the responsibilities and challenges of adult life. Parents, families, community members will celebrate the achievement, as we should. I hope we will also take a moment to thank and celebrate the people who made this achievement possible.

Wednesday's rain-plagued Division II softball semifinal between host No. 2 Vergennes and No. 3 BFA-Fairfax was suspended in the bottom of the first inning with the Commodores winning, 2-0. It will be resumed on Thursday at 5:30 p.m. exactly as it ended on Wednesday when umpires halted play due to the weather, with Commodore runners on first and second and nobody out.
Editor's note: The following statement was submitted on behalf of the Rutland Northeast Supervisory Union Board by RNeSU Chairperson Carol Brigham.
FAIR HAVEN — First-place finishes by Middlebury Union High School senior Max Moulton and sophomore Hannah Buttolph highlighted local athletes' efforts at Saturday's Division II championship track and field meet, which was hosted by Fair Haven Union High School.
Moulton won the boy's 800-meter run in 1:59.81, in the process reclaiming the title he won as a sophomore, while Buttolph claimed the girls' high jump title at a height of five feet, three inches.
On June 3, the No. 10 seeded North Country Union High School baseball team, owner of an 8-8 record, made a 340-mile, five-and-a-half-hour round trip to face No. 7 Brattleboro, a 10-6 team, in the first round of the Division I playoffs. The Falcons predictably lost to the Colonels, 9-1.
LYNDONVILLE — The No. 5 Otter Valley Union High School softball team thumped top-seeded host Lyndon on Tuesday, 24-5, to earn a date in this weekend's Division II final.
WEST HAVEN — There were no Addison County winners in June 6 action at Devil's Bowl Speedway, but Brandon's Vince Quenneville Jr. and Addison's Chuck Bradford came away with second-place finishes.
Quenneville finishes second behind first-time winner Jason Durgan in the 30-lap Bond Auto Parts Modified race, just ahead of Leon Gonyo. Middlebury's Todd Stone, the defending series winner, took eighth.
MIDDLEBURY — Middlebury College finished 10th in the 2014 NCAA Division III Learfield Sports Directors' Cup race, which measures school's overall athletic competitiveness via their NCAA success. The Panthers had earned 10-straight top-five finishes, including winning its first cup in 2011-2012.

Yesterday, the CBR released its Quarterly Monetary Policy Report. The key messages are as follows.
Growth outlook. The CBR has downgraded its 2014 growth expectations to 1.5-1.8% (from 2.0% back in 4Q13) amid the weaker than expected business activity recently.
Output gap. The regulator acknowledged there was a cyclical component to the slowdown, as suggested by alternative measures of slack on the labour market and its estimates of output gap in fan charts (-0.6-0.7% of GDP). Looking ahead, the negative output gap is not expected to narrow before 2016.
Inflation outlook. The CBR believes elevated CPI is driven by supply-side shocks and although it is expected to remain sticky over 1H14 (5.8-6.1%) on food and FX pass-through, inflation is likely to drop to the targets in 2H14 and into 2015-2016 on fading supply-side pressures, slower tariff growth, soft domestic demand and a moderation in inflation expectations.
Risks. Risks to the inflation outlook are assessed to be tilted to the upside. The impact of supply-side shocks (particularly those related to FX pass-through) on broader inflation in the environment of yet unanchored expectations pose the main upside risk. Downside risks are related to a more significant slowdown in domestic demand.
As was signalled last Friday, the CBR has switched to a hawkish bias. Should the regulator find evidence that supply-side factors (FX pass-through, food) are contaminating broader inflation, it is ready to tighten policy. We believe the CBR underestimates the disinflationary impact from demand slowdown and thinks risks to the inflation outlook lie to the downside. Hence, we do not expect policy rate changes over 1H14. Nevertheless, were CPI persistently to exceed its expectations (5.8-6.1% 1H14), that might constitute a trigger for rate hikes.
On a separate note, it is encouraging that the CBR dispelled fears of unconventional policy tightening (tighter liquidity provision and hikes to FX swap rate) in order to stem RUB decline.

Port Lucaya - Site Sightings and Shopping Trip
Duration: Half Day
Spend a day exploring the highlights of Port Lucaya during your holiday in the Bahamas. This bustling port is the centre of activity on Grand Bahama, the fourth largest island of the Bahamas. Cruise ship passengers and tourists can make the most of some of the best duty-free shopping in the country at Port Lucaya Marketplace and Marina, whilst live entertainment and a vibrant nightlife will keep you up until the early hours if you have any energy left!
Make sure you arrive early if you want to avoid the crowds at Port Lucaya because this vibrant centre soon gets busy. Mornings are usually bustling with ship captains and tour operators encouraging tourists to book all sorts of day trips and activities, ranging from glass-bottom boat trips and snorkeling to sport fishing and parasailing. One of the port's biggest attractions, however, is Port Lucaya Marketplace, which boasts the best shopping centre on the island. Situated on the former site of a Bahamian straw market, this six-acre waterfront complex comprises a vast number of restaurants, bars and shops, where visitors can buy anything and everything at heavily discounted prices. Fine emerald jewellery, crystal, china, perfume, luxury goods, handmade island clothing, original Bahamian artwork and all sorts of gifts and souvenirs can be found here. Traditional Bahamian straw crafts are amongst the most popular souvenirs to take home, and you can watch local artisans skilfully making beautiful baskets, mats and bags whilst you are there.
If you need to refuel after all that shopping, there are plenty of bars, cafés and restaurants scattered in the marketplace and along the harbour. This is a great place to relax and sample all sorts of Bahamian and International cuisine whilst enjoying beautiful waterfront views. You will also find all sorts of sumptuous Bahamian delicacies from vendors in the market around Count Basie Square, including pastries, desserts, fresh tropical fruits, fresh seafood, conch dishes, coconut water and much more besides.
As the sun goes down, Port Lucaya's buzzing night scene springs to life, and you will find a wide range of bars, nightclubs and casinos open until the early hours of the morning. Some of the finest Bahamian entertainment on the islands, however, can be found in the Marketplace. The courtyard has a fun festival atmosphere as the sounds of steel bands and musicians get both locals and tourists up on their feet to dance. Spectacular cultural shows, featuring live music and traditional Junkanoo dancers with vibrant feathered costumes, also take place daily. This is a great way to observe the rich Bahamian culture before dancing the night away under the stars.

More so, even. Lambchop is a loose music collective of anywhere from 5 to 17 players, all assembled around the center of gravity that is lead singer and songwriter Kurt Wagner. If you take a step back and consider/listen to their body of work over the course of 8 albums, two singles collections and countless other bits of ephemera, you will be astounded. Rock, soul, jazz, R&B and country traditions all come together to form a sound and an aesthetic that make Lambchop truly one of the most unique and vibrant bands to come along in American music over the last two decades.

"... We don't give our consciousness sufficient credit for its ability to take in noisy, ambiguous, contradictory givens from the senses, and sort it out: to say 'this pattern of givens equals the copper bowl that is in front of me now and that was in front of me a moment ago,' to confer thisness on what we perceive. I know you may feel uncomfortable with religious language, but it seems miraculous that our consciousness can do this."

A's top Blue Jays
OAKLAND, Calif. — Melky Cabrera couldn't corral Nick Punto's double with one out in the 12th inning, sending the Oakland Athletics to a 1-0 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays on Friday.
Derek Norris had a leadoff walk in the Oakland 12th against Chad Jenkins (0-1). After Jed Lowrie lined out, Punto hit a slicing double down the line in left.
Cabrera moved to his right to cut off the ball, which squirted by his glove for an error. Norris scored from first for an odd ending to a game highlighted by stellar pitching performances by starters Tommy Milone of Oakland and Marcus Stroman of Toronto.
Dan Otero (7-1), the fifth Oakland reliever to toss a scoreless inning, earned the win.
DENVER — Clayton Kershaw nearly had no-hit stuff against Colorado again, allowing only two singles over eight masterful innings as the Dodgers beat the Rockies.
Kershaw (10-2) extended his scoreless streak to 36 innings before being replaced by a pinch hitter in the ninth.
The hard-throwing lefty bottled up the top-hitting team in the majors in nearly matching the no-hitter he threw against the Rockies on June 18 at Dodger Stadium. Kershaw struck out eight and walked one.
Yasiel Puig hit a two-run homer and Scott Van Slyke added a three-run homer as the Dodgers had a season-high 19 hits.
Jair Jurrjens (0-1) struggled in his first big-league start in a year, lasting 4 2-3 innings and giving up eight runs.
MINNEAPOLIS — Brian Roberts hit three doubles and a triple, leading the Yankees to the road win.
David Huff (2-0) struck out three in three perfect innings after New York starter Chase Whitley faltered, and Jacoby Ellsbury hit a two-run single in the second against Twins starter Kyle Gibson (7-7).
Brian Dozier and Chris Colabello homered, but the Twins lost for the ninth time in 11 games. David Robertson notched his 20th save in the ninth after a two-out double by Kurt Suzuki.
This Independence Day game, pitting the Yankees and Twins at Target Field for the second straight year, was preceded by a ceremony for the 75th anniversary of Lou Gehrig's moving farewell address, shortly after he was diagnosed with the degenerative neurological disease that later took his name. Players from both teams read prerecorded portions of the speech.
PITTSBURGH — Andrew McCutchen had four hits and Jordy Mercer drove in a career-high four runs, powering Pittsburgh to the victory.
Mercer had two of Pittsburgh's 13 hits, and each of the Pirates' eight position players who started the game had at least one.
Pittsburgh jumped on Roberto Hernandez in the first inning, sending nine men to the plate and scoring four times. All the runs scored with two outs against Hernandez, who threw 45 pitches in the inning.
Gerrit Cole (7-4) pitched five scoreless innings for the Pirates in his second start since coming off the disabled list.
Hernandez (3-8) settled down after the rough first and pitched 5 2-3 innings. He gave up five runs and 10 hits.
WASHINGTON — Justin Ruggiano homered for the second straight game for the Cubs, who got another solid outing from Jason Hammel in the win.
Ruggiano connected for a solo shot against Tanner Roark (7-6) in the third inning, and then added a run-scoring single in Chicago's three-run ninth. He has six hits and seven RBIs in his last two games.
Chris Coghlan had two hits and scored three times as the Cubs collected 14 hits in their fourth consecutive victory.
Hammel (8-5) gave up two runs in six-plus innings in his second consecutive victory against Washington. Hammel, who also had an RBI single, improved to 8-0 with a 3.11 ERA in 10 career starts against the Nationals.
CLEVELAND — Yordano Ventura pitched 8 1-3 stellar innings and Mike Moustakas hit a three-run homer to help the Royals beat the Indians.
Ventura (6-7) blanked the Indians on four hits until Michael Brantley hit a leadoff homer in the ninth. The rookie right-hander was pulled after Jason Kipnis' one-out single. Ventura allowed six hits and struck out four in the longest outing of his career.
Salvador Perez and Christian Colon, making his first major-league start, had three hits apiece while Lorenzo Cain snapped an 0 for 11 skid with an RBI single in the third and a run-scoring double in the fifth.
Josh Tomlin (5-6), coming off a one-hit, no-walk, 11-strikeout performance against Seattle, allowed five runs and 11 hits in 5 2-3 innings.
SAN DIEGO — Eric Stults pitched seven strong innings to win for the first time in nearly two months and Alexi Amarista homered to lead the Padres to a win over the Giants.
Stults (3-11), winless in his last nine starts, was victorious for the first time since a 9-3 victory over Miami on May 10. The lefty held the Giants to four hits with six strikeouts and two walks as he snapped a six-start losing streak.
Matt Cain (1-7) pitched well but had little to show for it as he lost his fourth consecutive decision and is winless in seven starts.
The Padres won their season-high fifth straight game as they faced the Giants for the first time since they were no-hit by Tim Lincecum on June 25 in San Francisco. Lincecum is scheduled to start on Sunday.
CINCINNATI — Alfredo Simon moved into a tie for the National League lead with his 11th win and Billy Hamilton homered as the Reds snapped a three-game losing streak with a victory over the Brewers.
Skip Schumaker and Joey Votto had run-scoring doubles for the Reds, who were coming off being swept in a three-game series at San Diego.
Simon (11-3), making his career-high 17th start, overcame Jonathan Lucroy's home run to move into a tie with the Dodgers' Zack Greinke and the Cardinals' Adam Wainwright for the NL lead in wins.
The Central Division-leading Brewers dropped their fourth straight, matching their longest losing streak of the season.
Simon allowed six hits and two runs with two walks, three strikeouts and a wild pitch in 7 1-3 innings to improve to 5-0 over his last seven starts.
DETROIT — Evan Longoria homered, Ben Zobrist doubled twice and the Rays finally broke through offensively against Detroit, beating the Tigers.
The Rays had gone 19 straight games against the Tigers without scoring more than four runs, a streak that went back more than three years. Tampa Bay had seven extra-base hits Friday, including a two-run triple by Sean Rodriguez in the sixth.
Alex Cobb (4-6) allowed three runs and five hits in five-plus innings for the Rays, and their bullpen allowed only one baserunner. Brad Boxberger pitched two perfect innings of relief, Joel Peralta worked the eighth, and Jake McGee finished for his fourth save.
Detroit's Drew Smyly (4-8) allowed five runs and seven hits in 5 1-3 innings.
There were three hit batsmen, and umpires warned both benches in the sixth. After the warnings, Rays manager Joe Maddon argued and was ejected.
CHICAGO — Jose Abreu hit his 27th home run, Chris Sale struck out a season-high 12 in a complete game and the White Sox beat the Mariners.
Sale (8-1) allowed six hits and walked none in his fourth double-digit strikeout game of the season and 14th of his career.
Dayan Viciedo and Paul Konerko also homered for the White Sox, who have won five of seven.
Willie Bloomquist went 2 for 4 for the Mariners, who saw their four-game winning streak snapped. Rookie Roenis Elias (7-7) allowed five runs in five innings. He struck out six and walked one.
Viciedo went 4 for 4 including a leadoff homer in the fourth that gave the White Sox a 1-0 lead. His 10th homer came on a 2-1 pitch.
The White Sox added four runs in the fifth.
ST. LOUIS — Lance Lynn bounced back from his worst start of the season with 6 2-3 scoreless innings and the Cardinals placed consecutive two-out RBI doubles just out of right fielder Giancarlo Stanton's reach in a three-run sixth of a victory over the Marlins.
Stanton, who entered with an NL-leading 21 homers and 61 RBIs, was 0 for 4. He punched the padded wall in frustration after his glove failed him for the second time, and Marlins starter Nathan Eovaldi (5-4) also showed frustration when he slammed his glove into the dugout on his way off the field after the inning.
The first four Marlins reached safely in the ninth before Trevor Rosenthal earned his 26th save in 29 chances. Christian Yelich's RBI single eluded a sliding Matt Holliday in left and Stanton walked with the bases loaded before Casey McGehee grounded into a game-ending double play.
NEW YORK — Travis d'Arnaud snapped an eighth-inning tie with a two-run double and the Mets overcame an early injury to starter Jonathon Niese, beating the skidding Rangers to stop a four-game slide.
Lucas Duda hit a two-run homer, and the Mets opened a 10-game homestand with their second victory in nine games. Niese left in the first with a bruised lower back after he was hit by Alex Rios' line drive. X-rays were negative, the team said.
Star third baseman David Wright missed his seventh straight game with a sore left shoulder, but fill-in Eric Campbell had three hits and an RBI for New York. Carlos Torres, pressed into long relief when Niese was injured, gave up two runs in 4 2-3 valuable innings.
Jenrry Mejia (5-3) retired Rios with two runners in scoring position to end the eighth.
ATLANTA — Freddie Freeman drove in two runs, Ervin Santana won his second straight start, and the Braves stretched their winning streak to eight games with a victory over the Diamondbacks.
The Braves (48-38) have won 10 of 11 to move 10 games over .500 for the first time since April 29. They lead the NL East by 1½ games.
Santana (7-5) gave up six hits and two runs with one walk and six strikeouts in 7 1-3 innings.
Arizona began the night tied with Houston for most losses in the majors with 50. The Diamondbacks have lost seven of 11.
After earning three victories from June 20-28, Arizona's Josh Collmenter (7-5) allowed five runs, 11 hits, one walk, and struck out three in six-plus innings.

3D Space Planning for StoresAccelerate Your Store Updates & Enhance Your Visual Merchandising Performance
3DVIA Store provides an on-line 3D space planning application to test, optimize and implement store layout concepts and merchandising plans.
For specialized retail store chains and stores-in-stores, properly allocating retail space to reflect corporate merchandising and effectively executing point-of-sale marketing campaigns are critical to success. These tasks are especially challenging for store managers with frequently changing products or seasonal categories.
Adapting centrally designed concepts and merchandising plans to local store constraints is difficult and time consuming.

The easy-to-use application fits within existing workflows and reduces the need for physical store mock-ups by providing an accurate, 3D virtual representation of the store. 3DVIA Store facilitates real-time design collaboration between central planners and local stores as well as implementation and verification of marketing campaign compliance across retail store locations.
3DVIA Store is an online, cloud-based solution, which means implementation time is fast and operational costs are low. The solution is ideal for retail store chains and store-in-stores in Fashion & Apparel, Telecom, Optical, Financial Services, Furniture, Home Décor and Electronics.

Deploying printers with GPO to Win 10
Deploying printers is in basic pretty simple if you have Print Management installed on a server. I can tell and show with screenshots how you set it up, but there is enough writen about that already. The problem I ran into was that users didn't get the printers on Windows 10. They where not allowed to install the driver.
If you search on this issue you will be pointed at the point and printrestriction. The most website tell you to disable this, but update KB3170455 will stop non-admin users from installing the network printers. So the first step is to setup the point and print restrictions correctly:
Set point and print restrictions
Create a computer GPO "Enable _Point_and_print_Restrictions"
Users can only point and print to these servers -> Enabled In the text box, type the FQDN of the print servers. Seperate multiple server with ; When installing drivers for a newContinue Reading

Update / change start menu layout Windows 10 pro for existing users
There are plenty of articles about change the Windows 10 start menu for all users, all have in common that they only seem to work for new users logging in. I needed a way to change it for users that already have profile and I don't have Windows 10 Enterprise.
The Win 10 start menu is store in a database file, so you can't really manipulate the menu layout. But there is way to replace it, only keep in mind that you will replace the whole start menu including the recent opened items. Another pre-request is that the users should be logged of and you will need to have administrator permissions (but that should not be an issue ).
Create the Start Menu layout, make sure you don't use any App in the layout. Apps need to be installed under the user account, so they won't work. Only normal applicationsContinue Reading
Import WLAN profiles with Powershell (and PDQ Deploy)
If you have multiple sites or as in our case, (construction)sites that come and go, you want an easy way to provide the Wifi keys to your users. Sure you can mail them around, update a list on the intranet. But would it not be convenient to automatically populate the list of WLAN profiles in your users notebooks?
To get this working you only to run the following powershell script:
List the available WLAN profiles on the machine. Then we need to export each profile that we want to distribute to a folder. We set the key to clear, otherwise the user still needs to enter the key. Keep in mind to store the profiles in a protected folder if necessary: The last step is to import the WLAN profiles on a (new) notebook. I added a step with this script in my baseline deployment for notebooks. Thanks to Continue Reading

Powerful Partnerships by Martin L. Krovetz
Book DescriptionAlthough assistant principals are key influences in our nation's schools and represent the next generation of school principals, little has been done to address professional development for these administrators. At the local level, assistants often spend their time handling student activities and discipline with little opportunity to exercise more sophisticated leadership. At the state and national levels, the position has not received much attention. Positioning the partnership between principals and assistant principals as a coaching-based relationship serving the best interests of both students and schools, Powerful Partnerships presents specific tools to help principal/assistant principal teams define and strengthen their significant collaboration and to nurture the development of future school leaders. Through discussion questions and shared activities, this resource provides opportunities for principals and assistant principals to develop a shared vision for their relationship and school, and to design a plan for communication and professional growth. The author examines aspects of instructional leadership including supervising and supporting teachers, classroom walkthroughs, professional learning communities, and using data for school improvement. Principals and assistant principals are invited to study this book together, addressing critical topics such as: - leadership as stewardship - unique leadership challenges involved in working with people - key instructional leadership responsibilities that are shared by both administrators

The emergence of information and communications technologies or ICTs has a significant influence on different industries and organizations all across the globe. ICT refers to technologies, which provide access to information through the use of telecommunications (Maguire, et al., 2007; Chong, et al., 2012). Grandon and Pearson (2004) provide that ICTs are considered as such type of technology that offers organizations a huge range of hardware, telecommunications, and technology applications. This wide range of technologies and products are utilized to establish, analyze, develop, package, distribute, receive, and forward information electronically through emails, websites, social networking, and wireless communication devices. It can be said that the ICT is an important tool as it provides an opportunity for SMEs to improve their competitiveness in the areas of business (Schware, 2003; Ollo-Lopez & Aramendia-Muneta, 2012). The rapidly changing business environment of twenty first century provides the significant importance of adopting ICT to maintain the competitive edge and to establish a wider international network. Sheils, et al. (2003) highlight the effective use of information system and information technology for SMEs in terms of an opportunity for enhancing the ways of conducting business and of increasing competencies.

1. What are the challenges faced by SMEs of Caribbean countries to implement ICT?
2. What are the skills and innovation required for implementing the ICT in SMEs of Caribbean countries?
3. How the challenges can be overcome to implement ICT in SMEs of Caribbean countries?
4. How the ICT skills, use, adoption patterns, and adoption categories are related for SMEs of Caribbean countries?
1.4 Research Hypothesis

1.5 Rationale of Study
ICT is having an important position in the recent era of globalization and in the case of SMEs in Caribbean countries, implementation of ICT is important to grow to be a part of such globalized economy so as to struggle and flourish in future. The main issue that is being faced by the SMEs in Caribbean states involves the use of traditional tools to maintain the competitive position. The SMEs of Caribbean countries require to take benefits of the power of ICT for accepting the competition all across the globe. It can be said that the ICT tools are vital for maintaining the competitive position of SMEs in Caribbean countries. The reasons for which SMEs in Caribbean countries cannot implement ICT tools include the limitations in absence of trained employees and absence of tools.
Chapter 2: Literature Review and Conceptual Framework
2.1 Conceptual Framework
The rapid expansion of the internet for communication has emerged as an important procedure for organizations in SMEs as it can provide cost effective access to the economy all across the globe. The use of internet offers a platform for SMEs to participate within the global market while providing the flexibility in the nature of their business (Pavic, et al., 2007). The recent evaluation of ICTs has altered the amount of knowledge and availability of information. In other words, the concept of the Information Society is observed as the extension of post-industrial society. The main feature of the Information Society is the increase in competition between agents through innovation (Ritchie & Brindley, 2005; Ollo-Lopez & Aramendia-Muneta, 2012). The innovation refers to the capacity of managing knowledge creatively as an answer to changes in social needs and in technology. The innovation is considered as a means of promoting socioeconomic development (Maguire, et al., 2007; Lasagni, 2012; Brady, et al., 2002).
2.2 Literature Review
SMEs are a considerable part of the economy but a limited knowledge is obtainable regarding the implementation of ICTs. However, it has been observed that the relationship between the SMEs and ICTs has started to be explored (Ndou, et al., 2011). Raymond, et al. (2012), Nguyen (2009), Bidarian, et al. (2011) and Tan, et al. (2009) provide that the studies regarding the ICT adoption among SMES have increased as an information system that continues to expand in every aspect of organizational life. Gnyawali and Park (2009), Ongori and Migiro (2010), and Dyerson (2011) depict that the previous literature has suggested the need for enhancing the understanding of key elements that are being experienced involving different contexts and technologies. The reason behind using ICT is that it is a technology that smooths the progress of communication and helps in processing information through electronic means. The implementation of ICT is crucial for SMEs because it has turned out to be a foremost method and acts as an element for bringing change in organizations (Higon, 2012; Ndou, et al., 2011; Maguire, et al., 2007; Zarei, et al., 2011).
Saptadi, et al. (2012), Eze, et al. (2012), and Camacho and Dirckinck-Holmfeld (2009) highlighted that the implementation of ICT is said to be the way organizations correspond, pool resources with consumers, providers, and distributors through the technological advancements, thus, providing the capability for SMEs to take part in the globalized era. Nordman and Tolstoy (2011), and Lasagni (2012) argue that SMEs possesses a chance to achieve a competitive advantage of implementing ICT through novelty, marketing, and consumer responsiveness. Wang and Costello (2009), Yunis, et al. (2012), and Chong, et al. (2012) provide the conclusion with some evidences that SMEs can act proactively to use ICT. Eze, et al. (2012) state that the implementation of ICT can change the business operations in this era of globalization and this change is brought by changing structures of businesses and increasing competition to create a competitive benefit for businesses. In many urbanized countries, ICT is being used to change the way business operations are conducted to obtain strategic advantage. The returns from investment obtained by small organizations through ICT implementation have reduced of certain potentials (Nguyen, 2009). The studies of Higon (2012), Saarenketo, et al. (2011), Tan, et al. (2009), and Trimi (2008) have attributed this issue to factors of organizations including environmental factors, and lack of technical skills. Lopez-Nicolas and Soto-Acosta (2010) argue that the issues in introducing ICT in countries that are under development can be categorized in three classes such as contextual, operational, and strategic. It can be said that the problems regarding context are due to inappropriate selection of models regarding plans and applications in the context of the developing countries. There are certain issues that influence developing countries to implement ICT and the studies of Wielicki and Arendt (2010), Saleh and Burgess (2009), and Day, et al. (2012) depict these issues as absence of skilled human resources, economic constraints, absence of systems infrastructure, and implementation issues.
Grandon and Pearson (2004) highlight the absence of trained human resources as a main barrier, which blocks the effective development of ICT in SMEs of developing countries. It has been stated that such types of absence of counterpart training under technical assistance are not a major issue for SMEs. Saptadi, et al. (2012) evaluate the economic constraints including the nonexistence of reliable statistical information and inadequate capital to finance ICT are among one of the main factors for SMEs. It is obvious that many SMEs are found to be in the early phase of implementation of ICT as the employment of ICT depends on the level to which SMEs are intended to implement new technologies to bring enhancements in their business operations. According to Yunis, et al. (2012), all organizations is suggested that the level of adopting ICT in SMEs depends on the behavior of an organization towards technologies of ICT along with the inclination to deploy them. Trimi (2008), Ghobakhloo, et al. (2011), and Brady, et al. (2002) provides recommendation that the SMEs are required to understand the primary factors behind technological adoption along with the differences in inclination of organizations…[continue]

However, they remind us of the author Lall (2000), who declares that before companies or farms can use and derive the benefits of the technology, they need to learn and develop new skills. Beyond the capacity of adopting new techniques, developing countries also need the capacity to invent and adapt new technologies. Poor countries need to foster their own creativity to use both local and global knowledge and science
To avoid repeating negative historical experiences, regulatory regimes need to block the control and domination by networks/platforms. In the report, "Infrastructure and Development: A Critical Appraisal of the Macro Level Literature," Stephane Straub (2007) reported that at times, in some developing companies, "the hope of getting a fixed-line installed is a distant and costly dream" (p. 4). Meantime, the primary option for the individuals waiting for fixed-line telecommunications services

City denies group's renewed bankruptcy claim
A group that recently released television ads saying the city is nearing bankruptcy said it has fresh evidence to support that claim, while city leaders continue to maintain it's untrue.
A press release from Save Our City! Alameda, which opposes development plans at Alameda Point, says an e-mail from Fire Chief David Kapler to department staff which was leaked to the group claims the city is facing bankruptcy in the next three to four years. But Kapler said the message of his e-mail, which discusses fire truck and ambulance brownouts slated to begin Monday, was just the opposite.
"There's no indication that the city is going to go bankrupt," Kapler said.
In the e-mail, which was provided to me by SOCA spokesman David Howard, Kapler said: "If the city does not adjust spending, the city would be facing bankruptcy in as little as 36 – 48 months. If that were to happen the impact to the department and its members would be much worse than temporary brownouts."
Howard said that's evidence that the city is in financial trouble, and he accused city leaders of trying to hide it.
"It's straightforward. The city's in bad financial shape. They're in worse shape than the city manager and the City Council let on," Howard said. And he said he believes mismanagement by city leaders is to blame.
But Kapler said the message of his January 13 e-mail was that the city needs to change its spending habits in order to continue to balance its budget. He said three to four years is the time it would take the city to spend all of its cash reserves if it didn't make cost-cutting moves.
"If we keep spending more money than we're putting in, eventually your bank account is going to go empty," he said. "We're simply adjusting to the same economic conditions that the whole rest of the world is."
Mayor Beverly Johnson said the city is not nearing bankruptcy, but it is facing serious financial challenges – challenges that many other California cities are also facing. And she said the council has discussed those challenges in public meetings, including several hearings on budget cuts.
"I don't think we're in denial about the serious problems we face. If we don't change the course of how we do business now, we'll face a situation where our expenditures are more than our revenues," Johnson said.
The city is hosting a public budget workshop on February 7.
SOCA will be holding a press conference at 6:15 p.m. Saturday about the e-mail and the city's financial status at the Alameda Free Library, 1550 Oak Street. The press conference will be followed at 7 p.m. by a panel discussion on the city's budget crisis and Alameda Point. Panel participants include Howard, Domenick Weaver of Fire Fighters Local 689, and George Humphreys and Dale Smith of the Restoration Advisory Board.
I'll have the full text of the e-mail up for you in five.
