Hence the development of the Open Systems Interconnect (OSI) Model which lead to the development of the Internet and the Ethernet standard and the TCP/IP protocol, both of which nearly the entire Internet runs on today.
#9, in what way have phones and computers converged? Why is this convergence occurring?
The personal productivity tasks of communication as it relates to the use of telephones and computer systems has long been an area developers and entrepreneurs have poured time and money into. Now with the concept of the Mobile Web, it's possible to have PDAs and cell phones that make it possible to access any website, any e-mail account, from any location there is a cell phone signal. The impetus is the overlap of personal productivity processes.
Computer Security):
Q.#9, Read the information on the Thawte Web site about how users can be authenticated (Web of Trust). Briefly explain how the system works. Do you think this is a secure and reliable system?
The system uses as series of authentication algorithms to verify the identify a person is who they say there are. This is a secure and reliable system to the extent developers use the Application Programmer Interfaces (APIs) and other mechanisms for integrating these techniques into applications.
Transaction and Operations):
Review questions 2, What is electronic data interchange (EDI)? Why has EDI taken so long to catch on? Will business ever use EDI for all transactions?
EDI is a batch-oriented protocol used for completing transactions between companies, and has been in use as an order processing, validation and transaction technique for over forty years. EDI has many limitations, foremost being its approach to batch-oriented processing (most companies run it overnight) and the highly defined series of commands it uses. There is little flexibility in the programming of EDI commands; it is very inflexible. As a result of these factors and the fact that it is slow and increasingly out of touch with the needs of businesses running real-time systems, EDI is stagnating at the minority of transactions today.
6, Why has it taken so long for new payment mechanisms to be adopted?
Because each company's order management system is uniquely different and aligned with their specific approaches to doing business. No two companies do business and manage orders the same way, hence the wide variation in how new payment systems are implemented and adopted.
What is meant by the term "data quality"? Give three examples of problems with data quality.
Data quality refers to the attribute of data that is represents what it is supposed to. Three examples of data quality problems include incomplete data, incorrectly entered data, and misanalyzed data.
On the basis of the cost figures in the text, create a spreadsheet and compare the estimated annual costs for the carious online payment mechanisms for three hypothetical companies. The first company sells digital content for about $20 each and anticipates about 5,000 sales per year. The second company sells music for $0.75 per song, but expects people to download and pay for 5 to 10 songs at a time. It anticipates 500,000 customers. The third company sells stereo and video equipment ranging from $400 to $2,000 per item, and expects about 10,000 sales the first year. On the basis of the data, recommend a payment mechanism for each company.
A customers songs or units price per song or unit
For the song sales, there needs to be an online order capture and management system that can handle all forms of credit card transactions. For the second site with the small transaction size of 75 cents, there needs to be an account-based order system created where customers can create a debit balance and then get credits against it. Finally the larger appliance sales there is the need for managing more complex forms of credit including the definition of credit terms and the offer of a credit card to cover the purchase itself.
Enterprise Integration)
Q.#4 What are the primary features and capabilities of an enterprise resource planning system (ERP)?
An ERP system acts as the central coordination system for the production operations of a company, and includes control over supply chain, production scheduling, production operations, pricing, fulfillment and service.

Activities, Staffing, and Funding for the Center for Strategic Planning
GAO-13-377R: Published: Apr 1, 2013. Publicly Released: May 1, 2013.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-7114
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
What GAO Found
CSP's activities, staff, and funding support strategic planning by individual CMS offices and centers as well as the agency itself. CMS officials told us that CSP assists individual offices and centers in developing strategic plans for their units, leads the agency's senior-level strategic planning meetings, and is helping to develop a centralized approach to monitor the implementation of CMS's agency-wide strategic plan. As of January 2013, CSP had 11 staff and it had $1.9 million in funds obligated for fiscal year 2012. Staff size and funding for CSP's most recent fiscal year represent a decrease compared to prior years, in part because CSP's activities have been narrowed in scope since the office was established in 2010, according to CMS officials. GAO provided a draft of this report to HHS for comment. After its review, HHS indicated that it did not have any comments.
Why GAO Did This Study
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS)--an agency within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS)--is responsible for overseeing Medicare, Medicaid, and the State Children's Health Insurance Program. Together, these programs provide health insurance coverage for over 100 million men, women, and children and account for a significant share of national health care spending. Medicare and Medicaid expenditures accounted for 36 percent of national health care spending in 2011 and are expected to increase as a share of national health care spending, driven in part by increases in Medicare enrollment and expanded Medicaid coverage.
With its programs playing a central role in the financing of the nation's health care for the foreseeable future, CMS has taken steps to make the agency's strategic planning a priority. In 2010, as part of an internal reorganization, CMS established the Center for Strategic Planning (CSP) to facilitate the agency's strategic planning efforts. You expressed an interest in learning more about the activities CSP conducts to facilitate CMS's strategic planning. This report describes CSP's current activities and staffing, as well as CSP's funding for the most recent full fiscal year.

renting partnerships
Margery Spinney and Carol Smith founded Renting Partnerships in 2013 with the support of people and organizations in Cincinnati seeking to create a more inclusive and compassionate economy. They are the former Director and Property Manager of the Cornerstone Corporation for Shared Equity where they first established and implemented the concept of Renter Equity. When Margery first came to Cornerstone, in 1996, it was a small socially conscious investment fund helping to finance nonprofit housing groups and she was the sole staff. Cornerstone's functions were expanded to include her innovative ideas in three projects between 2002 and 2012. When Margery and Carol left in 2012, Cornerstone had implemented the renter equity concept in 59 units and residents had earned equity credits worth over $140,000.
A third party evaluation of the results of our work during 10 years at Cornerstone was conducted by the Corporation for Enterprise Development (CFED) and published by the Ohio Housing Finance Agency in 2013. It confirms
- "Positive impact on residents' lives in terms of their physical and financial security, their optimism about the future and their ties with their surrounding community."
- "Property management costs similar to comparable Low-Income Housing Tax Credit properties in the neighborhood, even after taking into account the renter equity credit costs."
- "A majority of residents stay five or more years."

Afterword by Dr. Herbert A. Hauptman, Nobel LaureateThis delightful book reveals an incredibly interesting history of the development of our knowledge of this ubiquitous number in mathematics. . . . I recommend this book to anyone who remembers ever hearing about Pi!-Stanley H. Kaplan, Founder of the Kaplan Test Preparation and Admission Programs. . . Read this book and enjoy the journey through the mysteries of pi. Give it to your students and you will have aroused their appreciation of the many wonders of mathematics.-Alice F. Artzt, Professor of Mathematics Education; Director of Undergraduate and Graduate Secondary Mathematics Education, Queens College of the City University of New York. . . The history of pi and the attempts to fully understand what it represents makes for amusing, interesting and enjoyable reading.-Dr. Stephen Krulik, Professor of Mathematics Education, Temple UniversityWe all learned that the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter is called p and that the value of this algebraic symbol is roughly 3.14. What we weren't told, though, is that behind this seemingly mundane fact is a world of mystery, which has fascinated mathematicians from ancient times to the present.Mathematicians call it a transcendental number because its value cannot be calculated by any combination of addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and square root extraction. This elusive nature has led intrepid investigators over the years to attempt ever-closer approximations. In 2002, a Japanese professor using a supercomputer calculated the value to 1.24 trillion decimal places! Nonetheless, in this huge string of decimals there is no periodic repetition.In this delightful layperson's introduction to one of math's most interesting phenomena, Drs. Posamentier and Lehmann review p's history from prebiblical times to the 21st century, the many amusing and mind-boggling ways of estimating ? over the centuries, quirky examples of obsessing about p (including an attempt to legislate its exact value), and useful applications of p in everyday life, including statistics.This enlightening and stimulating approach to mathematics will entertain lay readers while improving their mathematical literacy.Alfred S. Posamentier, Ph.D. (New York, NY), is dean of the School of Education and professor of mathematics education at The City College of the City University of New York. He has published more than 40 books in the area of mathematics and mathematics education, including The Fabulous Fibonacci Numbers, Pi: A Biography of the World's Most Mysterious Number, and Math Charmers: Tantalizing Tidbits for the Mind..Ingmar Lehmann, Ph.D. (Berlin, Germany), is a mathematics educator at Humboldt University in Berlin and is the coauthor of The Fabulous Fibonacci Numbers and Pi: A Biography of the World's Most Mysterious Number.. . . I recommend this book to anyone who remembers ever hearing about Pi!-Stanley H. Kaplan, Founder of the Kaplan Test Preparation and Admission Programs. . . Read this book and enjoy the journey through the mysteries of pi.

A conference run by Middlesex University and a website launch will be held at the French Institute in London.
The conference on basic concepts in post-war French thought, which takes place on 16 and 17 April, is being run by the Centre for Research in Modern European Philosophy (CRMEP) at Middlesex University and is supported by the Cultural Service of the French Embassy.
It involves speakers from several European universities who will each explore a different concept in French philosophy since 1945.
Professor Peter Osborne, of the CRMEP, said: "I am pleased that the Centre is able to stage this event at the French Institute, especially as it is celebrating its 100th anniversary this year."
He added: "We will also be using the conference to launch the website based on our three-year research project on the Cahiers pour L'Analyse – a journal published by a group of brilliant young philosophy graduates at the Ecole Normale Supérieure in Paris in the mid to late 1960s."
The research on which the website is based, led by Professor Peter Hallward from the CRMEP, was funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council. Professor Osborne said the conference marked the successful completion of that project and the start of a new one, looking at the way the most important conceptual innovations of the 1960s cross disciplinary boundaries.
For more details and to register for the event at the French Institute in Queensberry Place, London SW7, go to the CRMEP events site.
Tickets are £45 / £20 for students, which includes a drinks reception on the 16th when the website will be officially launched.

Thanks for helping!
This house is very important to bengalis. Go at the time of Birthday celebration of Tagore. Various programs being held that time every year.
This is an iconic place. But its hardly patronised. Few tourists and locals amble in but that is all. The place is maintained by the State Govt but without any proper promotion. The place is located in one of the poorest settings possible to be a tourist place. No effort to improve it. Its basically a museum. The place has...
The House is an architectural attraction of course, Kolkata once known as "The City of Palaces" - its a Palace. It aura is in the feeling that it was the house of Rabindranath Tagore.. Nobel Laureate and creator of immense Literature that perhaps supercedes the literary creations of Shakespeare. Rabindranath Tagore is a name whose works are being researched throughout...
It was a rainy day raining profusely when we decided to go on touring old Kolkata (North). Travelled by Tram, Jorasanko is a place near Chitpur. A big palace, now maintained by the State Govt, Heritage site. The place where Rabindranath Tagore was born, historical walkthrough. There is an entry fee at the entrance but it is worth visit
This is very peaceful place to visit. One can understand the culture and heritage of Bengal of that period. It display the Tagore's life and work efficiently. Well maintained and must visit in Kolkata.
As you get off the narrow and congested Chitpur Road and turn into the alley on which Thakurbari stands , the first thing to strike you is the sheer size of the edifice . There are several such ' palaces ' in North Calcutta but this one stands out not only for its imposing stature but because of its aura...
The ancestral residence of the legendary Bengali "Renaissance man" and nobel laureate Gurudev Rabindranath Tagore, this palacial mansion has been converted into a fascinating museum to comprehensively depict the life and creations of this great man.
Showcases Rabindranath Tagore's life and works. Also focuses on his family quite a bit. Quiet place and one of the best ways to spend an afternoon looking up one of the best writers in modern literature.
It is a situation in congested North Calcutta roads. However, once you are inside, it is peaceful and tranquil. I recommended visiting by public transport.
Entry fee is nominal Rs 10 though more for foreigners.
You can take photos in ground floor only. Photography not allowed in upstairs rooms.
You need to leave your shoes off before going upstairs.
A piece of history this beautiful bungalow/thakur bari. Most exhibits have English commentary a few in bengali which might leave a few frustrated. A well preserved place with Gurudev Rabindranath personal memorabilia and paintings. Worth a visit.
Own or manage this property? Claim your listing for free to respond to reviews, update your profile and much more.
I would just like to know that would would be the cost of hiring a guide for the museum for a group of approx. 30 visitors?
I remember there is a weekly closing day for jorasako. Anyone can confirm which day?
Is there a phone number for this museum ? The official site has a number that does not work. A number listed on Ixigo rings but no one responds
Is photography allowed inside Jorasanko Thakur Bari?

OECD data show slowing inflation in developed countries
Consumer prices in developed economies increased at the slowest annual rate in at least 38 years during January, figures published by the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development on Tuesday showed.
The annual rate of inflation in its 30 members slowed to 1.3% from 1.5% in December. The continuing decline in energy prices mainly account for the slowdown in inflation.
Presenting a downbeat assessment of the world economy, Klaus Schmidt-Hebbel, OECD chief economist, said: "The recession will deepen, there's no doubt. The shape of it will be significantly deeper than what was forecast by the IMF in January, at all levels."

"I saw this pattern and thought it would be great to go in my gift tins for my homemade spa sets for Christmas. I started the pattern but kept having trouble with the puff stitch. When I try to pull through the loop the hook gets stuck and pull a strand or two out making it look un-neat. Is there a way to prevent this? Could it be the yarn I am using?"
"I love this pattern for making dishcloths! It is so simple and it's so easy to remember. It makes a great,durable dishcloth. Does anyone tried this pattern with that new yarn that is made for making dishcloths? I think it might be a rayon blend. I'm going to try it next time I need dishcloths."
"This is a great beginner project, it was easy to follow and gave great instruction. I was able to work up several of these for co-workers who thought it was so cute. I am going to make several more for my home for company to use when they come over and have coffee."
"These spiral beaded trees are so pretty! For extra sparkle, I am going to place a battery tea light candle in the center of the spiral. Several of these trees would look great placed within a strand of twinkle or small rice lights on a mantle or table center piece!"
"That's a great idea!"

Beautiful easy flowers, thank you. For those that don't know, if you go to lion brand yarn site you can request a free catalog of their yarns. It can help you decide what type and colors you may want to use for these beaties. It certainly helped me mix and match before I even went to the store.

Hi, djhixson. The top layer is made separately from the bottom layer, so it would be started in the same manner as you start the bottom layer, making a new chain from your skein of yarn. The two layers are sewn together when both are finished.

is something missing?where does the top layer start?

Picture yourself spending some time with congenial friends, sharing your lives and pictures from your cell phones." They're curious about that cool game, song, movie, camping trip, art show, or other event that fascinated you. You talk about all kinds of stuff, poetry, styles, personal achievements, relationships, and bad days. You can share your inner child, and laugh together. They sympathetically listen to your feelings about serious topics like politics or climate change, even when they don't agree.
Personal validation comes from paying attention to one another, giving more than you get. Everyone respects you and themselves, despite our amazing range of personal tastes and interests. They'll tell you they don't agree with an idea or behavior without implying you're a bad person or somehow deficient. It's an "I'm OK, You're OK" kind of fellowship, where nobody tries to make himself look better by picking on somebody else.
Nobody here is into mind games. A discussion started with a loaded guilt-throwing question will be deleted.
This group is not intended to compete with other groups on topics they cover but to "fill in the cracks." Whenever a discussion dwells at length on a topic for which there's an existing group, we urge you to provide members a link to that group to continue along their tangent.
A comment is a shout-out, which will get lost in a few days, because the comment wall is just a random stack.
Please start a discussion to share stories, photos, and videos. Replies will pop up in your "latest activity" and a conversation can develop from the feelings and thoughts you contributed. Groups are built on discussions.

Great float. Glad to hear that all was peaceful for the parade.
Denmark has had one day of snow so far this winter. Makes a nice change from the past 3 years where there's been frost, snow and ice from November til late March. Hope you all are well in your stormy part of the world.
Very strange weather, indeed. Spokane is 16.3" low on snow. Wonder how our water supply will be next summer?
Carl is hoarding snow! Here it's 10°C, 50°F; we get wind, rain and thunder, but no snow at all.
Mindy, I don't see a photo of Lula, is she as active as I described Journey?
Carl, you have all of our snow. We have virtually none. Lots of ice, however, covered over with snifters of snow ... slick as the dickens.
Nahhhh. They never showed up, OR maybe they got run off by the other spectators .
People who haven't bought grandstand tickets start claiming places along the parade route the night before. Traditionally, they camp out and party all night, and I don't think they'd tolerate any grim puritans spoiling the fun for very long.
Local press people show up the night before, too...including TV crews. If there had been any fundies there, they would have been anxious to get their faces on camera for their 15 seconds of fame.
Various knuckle-draggers predicted that there would be boycotts of the parade and public demonstrations against that float...neither happened.
(I wonder where the Westboro Gang was Wednesday morning...ttee-hee!)
I slept through the parade, but I wish I'd seen this float and heard the applause!
Beautiful cats, Chris, and such interesting patterns. I wonder if there are DNA tests going on to track the evolution of feline families?
Journey is a beauty! As far as I know, she has a tabby-pattern that has a strong relation to wildcats.

What's the key to consistent success in college football?
Many would say recruiting at a high level is one of the major factors. Of course, that appears to be the correct answer at first glance.
However, it isn't just recruiting star players year after year. It is recruiting star players for the good of the depth chart, filling holes that were left open by former stand-outs moving on in their football careers either due to the draft or graduation.
The same goes most of the country, including Notre Dame. Brian Kelly and his staff have been working relentlessly this offseason in preparation for National Signing Day on February 3rd. Currently sitting comfortably with a top-10 ranked class according to multiple recruiting services, the Irish have done wonders on the trail.
What exactly holes have the Irish filled? And what holes haven't they been able to cement?
Let's take a look at the positional needs in this 2011 class.

Supply chain security in a high-risk world
Logistics Management's sister publication, Supply Chain Management Review (SCMR), interviewed security expert Barry Brandman in its July/August 2003 issue, not long after the creation of the Department of Homeland Security. The threats to the security of supply chains have certainly not abated since that interview; if anything, they have only intensified.
"No technology acting alone will adequately protect a supply chain—regardless of how sophisticated it may be."
in the NewsState of Logistics 2016: Pursue mutual benefit Holiday season sparks retail import shipments, says Port Tracker Driver turnover rate declines, but challenges remain firmly intact AAR reports annual gains in November for U.S. carload and intermodal volumes CEMA reports October booked orders down 19.8% from October 2015 More News
So now seems to be the perfect time to revisit the subject of supply chain security. And, once again, Barry Brandman is the go-to guy. Brandman is president of New Jersey-based Danbee Investigations, which provides professional investigative, auditing, and security consulting services to hundreds of major companies.
Brandman has developed a particular expertise in logistics and supply chain management. He's a frequent speaker at industry conferences such as CSCMP and the International Conference on Cargo Security. He also has authored articles on supply chain security for a wide range of publications.
The underlying message in this current interview with Brandman is clear: In a high-risk world, companies must be proactive when it comes to supply chain security; to be otherwise, invites a host of serious and potentially devastating consequences. SCMR's Editorial Director Francis J. Quinn conducted the interview.

Appeal from the Circuit Court of Cook County; the Hon. Maurice
D. Pompey, Judge, presiding.
Rehearing denied November 14, 1986.
Following a bench trial, defendant, Juan Ocasio, Jr., was convicted of two counts of murder and sentenced to 25 years in the Illinois Department of Corrections. Defendant appeals his convictions, contending that the trial court erred in denying his motion to quash the arrest and suppress evidence, and in denying his motion to suppress his out-of-court statements. Defendant's motions alleged that he was arrested and his subsequent statements taken in violation of his Federal and State constitutional rights. A full hearing was conducted on defendant's motions.
Defendant was arrested by the Chicago police on January 15, 1982, as the result of an investigation into the deaths of Tina Anderson and Neryda Cruz. The women's bodies had been found at approximately 2:30 a.m. that day in Anderson's first-floor apartment at 1623 North Talman Avenue in Chicago. Both women died as the result of multiple stab wounds.
Detectives Mudry and Storck of the Chicago police department were assigned to the investigation. On the morning of January 15, after having consulted with the initial investigators in the case, the detectives interviewed Wanda Castillo, who is defendant's sister and who resided in the second-floor apartment at 1623 North Talman Avenue. The detectives interviewed Castillo at 1625 North Talman Avenue, the home of defendant and his parents. Castillo informed the officers that she neither saw nor heard anything unusual during the late evening hours of January 14 and early morning hours of January 15. She stated that she had been with her boyfriend, Ramon Quinones, and Maria Echevarria during that time.
The officers then proceeded to the home of Ramon Quinones. They interviewed him in their squad car. Mudry testified that Quinones told them that he had seen defendant on January 15 and that defendant told Quinones that he participated in the slayings of Anderson and Cruz. After the interview, Quinones was transferred to another squad car and taken to the Area Five police headquarters for further questioning.
Officers Mudry and Storck then drove around the Humboldt Park area for approximately one-half hour to forty-five minutes. At 2 p.m. they returned to the Ocasio home. They had no arrest or search warrant. After gaining entry into the home, the officers arrested defendant. They also took with them Wanda Castillo and Maria Echevarria, who were in the Ocasio home at that time and who had been in the Castillo apartment the prior evening. On the way to police headquarters, the detectives also stopped at a grocery store where Edgardo Ventura, a co-defendant, was employed. They picked up Ventura and took him to police headquarters as well.
Defendant was interviewed at headquarters by various police officers and by an assistant State's Attorney. After having been apprised of his Miranda rights several times, defendant gave a statement regarding his involvement in the slayings. Defendant was subsequently charged under a 10-count indictment with murder, rape, home invasion, and armed violence.
Defendant moved to quash his arrest and suppress evidence and to suppress his out-of-court statements. Based on the evidence presented at the pretrial hearing, the trial court denied the motions. The decision was based upon the totality of the evidence and the credibility of the witnesses. The trial court found that the officers had probable cause to believe that defendant participated in the slayings of Tina Anderson and Neryda Cruz. The court further found defendant's warrantless arrest reasonable, based on the existence of exigent circumstances. In denying defendant's motion to suppress his out-of-court statements, the court found that the State met its burden of proof that none of defendant's statements were the result of mental coercion or threats of bodily harm. The court determined that defendant was properly advised of his Miranda rights, that he knowingly, intelligently and voluntarily waived those rights, and that his statements, therefore, were voluntarily made.
• 1 The State initially contends that defendant waived the issues presented on review because he failed to file a written post-trial motion for a new trial, as required by section 116-1 of the Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963 (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1983, ch. 38, par. 116-1). Contentions of error raised by a defendant, other than those relating to the sufficiency of evidence and errors not generally included in post-trial motions, are ordinarily waived on appeal if the defendant did not file a post-trial motion. (People v. Wright (1980), 80 Ill. App.3d 927, 930, 400 N.E.2d 731.) The waiver rule, however, does not require that a defendant file a post-trial motion where he is tried before the court and has raised the issues at the trial level. (People v. Turner (1984), 122 Ill. App.3d 81, 83, 460 N.E.2d 797, cert. denied (1984), 469 U.S. 866, 83 L.Ed.2d 141, 105 S.Ct. 210; People v. Wright (1980), 80 Ill. App.3d 927, 400 N.E.2d 731; People v. Kelly (1979), 76 Ill. App.3d 80, 83-84, 394 N.E.2d 739.) In the instant case, the issues on appeal stem from the trial court's denial of pretrial motions to quash arrest and suppress evidence as well as to suppress statements. Defendant was tried by the court and does not raise issues regarding trial errors in his appeal. Therefore, we find no necessity for a post-trial motion.
• 2 Defendant first contends that his fourth amendment rights were violated because there was no probable cause to justify his arrest. For the purposes of arrest, probable cause exists where the facts and circumstances known to the arresting officer are sufficient to warrant a man of reasonable caution to believe that an offense has been committed and that the offense was committed by the person arrested. (People v. Lippert (1982), 89 Ill.2d 171, 178, 432 N.E.2d 605, cert. denied (1982), 459 U.S. 841, 74 L.Ed.2d 85, 103 S.Ct. 92; People v. Gholston (1984), 124 Ill. App.3d 873, 882, 464 N.E.2d 1179.) A trial court's finding of probable cause will not be disturbed on appeal unless it is manifestly erroneous. People v. Clay (1973), 55 Ill.2d 501, 505, 304 N.E.2d 280; People v. Thomas (1984), 123 Ill. App.3d 857, 863, 463 N.E.2d 832; People v. Jones (1983), 119 Ill. App.3d 615, 623, 456 N.E.2d 926.
During the hearing on defendant's motion to quash arrest and suppress evidence, Mudry testified that, after his interview with Wanda Castillo on the morning of January 15, he and Storck went to the home of Ramon Quinones, and they interviewed him in their squad car. Quinones testified that he informed the detectives that he had been 53 miles away in Carpentersville on the prior evening. However, according to Mudry, Quinones told him that he had been in a van parked in front of the victims' apartment drinking rum with Pedro Miranda, the owner of the van, Edgardo Ventura, and the defendant. Mudry stated that Quinones informed him that, during this time, Miranda told the others that "he was going to take care of Tina because she burned him." He further stated that Quinones said that he began to feel ill and went up to Castillo's apartment and that defendant and Ventura later came to the apartment. Mudry testified that Quinones said that defendant informed those present in the apartment that Anderson and Cruz were dead, that Miranda had stabbed Anderson, and that he, Miranda, and Ventura had stabbed Cruz. Quinones also told them that Miranda had ordered defendant and Ventura to "keep their mouth shut" and that he would burn the knives used in the slayings at the foundry where he worked. In contrast, Quinones testified that, prior to arriving at police headquarters, he provided the police with no information which would have led them to defendant.
• 3 Defendant, relying on Quinones' statement that he gave no information to the police before arriving at Area Five headquarters, argues that the police could not therefore have had probable cause to arrest him at approximately 2 p.m. on January 15. We disagree with defendant's contention. Although Quinones claimed to have given the officers no information prior to his arrival at police headquarters, there also was testimony that information given by Quinones prior to that time led the detectives directly to defendant as a suspected participant in the double homicide. Where there is conflicting testimony-between witnesses, such testimony affects only the weight it is to be given, and the trier of fact may accept or reject all or part of a witness' testimony. (People v. Lutz (1982), 103 Ill. App.3d 976, 980-81, 431 N.E.2d 753; People v. Thompson (1981), 93 Ill. App.3d 995, 1009-10, 418 N.E.2d 112, cert. denied (1982), 458 U.S. 1109, 73 L.Ed.2d 1371, 102 S.Ct. 3490.) It is up to the trier of fact to determine the credibility of the witnesses, the weight to be given their testimony, and the inferences to be drawn from the evidence. A court of review will not substitute its judgment where the evidence is merely conflicting. (People v. Castro (1982), 109 Ill. App.3d 561, 565-66, 440 N.E.2d 1008, citing People v. Scarpelli (1980), 82 Ill. App.3d 689, 698, 402 N.E.2d 915, cert. denied (1981), 450 U.S. 915, 67 L.Ed.2d 340, 101 S.Ct. 1357.) We do not find the trial court's determination regarding the conflicting testimony to be against the manifest weight of the evidence and, therefore, its decision must stand.
A determination of probable cause must be based upon the totality of facts and circumstances present in each case. (Illinois v. Gates (1983), 462 U.S. 213, 76 L.Ed.2d 527, 103 S.Ct. 2317; People v. Tisler (1984), 103 Ill.2d 226, 469 N.E.2d 147.) We find that the Gates standard was met in this case and disagree with defendant that the information provided by Quinones was insufficient to establish probable cause. The trial court's finding of probable cause was not manifestly erroneous and will not be disturbed.
• 4 Defendant further argues that his fourth amendment rights were violated when the officers entered his home to arrest him without an arrest or search warrant. He maintains that there existed no exigent circumstances to justify such an arrest. In determining whether exigent circumstances exist, each case should be decided on the basis of the facts presented, with the guiding principle being reasonableness. (People v. Yates (1983), 98 Ill.2d 502, 515, 456 N.E.2d 1369, cert. denied (1984), 466 U.S. 981, 80 L.Ed.2d 836, 104 S.Ct. 2364; People v. Abney (1980), 81 Ill.2d 159, 173, 407 N.E.2d 543; People v. Johnson (1984), 121 Ill. App.3d 358, 363, 459 N.E.2d 1000.) A number of factors have been found useful in determining whether an exigency exists. These factors include whether: (1) there is a need for prompt police action; (2) there is no deliberate or unjustified delay during which the officers could have obtained a warrant; (3) a grave offense is involved, particularly a crime of violence; (4) the suspect is reasonably believed to be armed; (5) there exists a clear showing of probable cause; (6) there is strong reason to believe that the suspect is in the premises; (7) there is a likelihood the suspect will escape if not swiftly apprehended, and (8) the nonconsensual police entry into the premises is peaceful. (Dorman v. United States (D.C. Cir. 1970), 435 F.2d 385, 392-93 (en banc); People v. Yates (1983), 98 Ill.2d 502, 515-16, 456 N.E.2d 1369, cert. denied (1984), 466 U.S. 981, 80 L.Ed.2d 836, 104 S.Ct. 2364; People v. Johnson (1984), 121 Ill. App.3d 358, 363-64, 459 N.E.2d 1000.) These factors, however, are to be considered only as guidelines in determining the reasonableness of a warrantless arrest. (People v. Yates (1983), 98 Ill.2d 502, 456 N.E.2d 1369.) Each factor need not be present in every case in order to find the presence of exigent circumstances but, rather, need only to be satisfied upon balance. (People v. Cobb (1983), 97 Ill.2d 465, 484, 455 N.E.2d 31; People v. Thompson (1981), 93 Ill. App.3d 995, 1005, 418 N.E.2d 112, cert. denied (1982), 458 U.S. 1109, 73 L.Ed.2d 1371, 102 S.Ct. 3490.) A reviewing court will not disturb a trial court's determination of factual matters on a motion to suppress unless it is manifestly erroneous. People v. Stewart (1984), 104 Ill.2d 463, 477-78, 473 N.E.2d 1227, cert. denied (1984), 471 U.S. 1120, 86 L.Ed.2d 267, 105 S.Ct. 2368; People v. Free (1983), 94 Ill.2d 378, 401, 447 N.E.2d 218, cert. denied (1983), 464 U.S. 865, 78 L.Ed.2d 175, 104 S.Ct. 200; People v. Clay (1973), 55 Ill.2d 501, 505, 304 N.E.2d 280.
In reaching its determination that exigent circumstances justified defendant's warrantless arrest, the trial court found the following factors present: (1) a grave offense, two murders, was involved; (2) the officers could reasonably believe that the defendant was armed, based upon their knowledge that the murders were committed by multiple stabbings; (3) there was a clear showing of probable cause based upon the officers' conversations with the initial investigators and with Ramon Quinones; (4) there was strong reason to believe the defendant was in his known residence on the afternoon of his arrest; (5) it was not unreasonable for the officers to believe that the defendant might have escaped if not swiftly apprehended, based upon his involvement in two murders; (6) the nonconsensual entry was accomplished with a minimum of force, no weapons were displayed, the officers identified themselves, they pushed the door open only after it was opened partially by the defendant's mother, and nothing was broken on the premises; (7) the entry was in the daytime; (8) the officers acted promptly after having gained information which established probable cause, and (9) there was no delay during which time an arrest warrant could have been obtained.
In response to the trial court's findings, defendant first contends that there was minimal, if any, need for prompt police action since the State stipulated that no officers of the Chicago police department had knowledge of flight or attempted flight by defendant. We believe, however, that the very nature of these crimes lent credence to the reasonable possibility that defendant might have attempted to avoid his arrest. This possibility was perhaps even more likely once the police began to question those persons who had a close relationship with defendant, such as his sister and her boyfriend. See People v. Cobb (1983), 97 Ill.2d 465, 486, 455 N.E.2d 31.
Defendant next maintains that the trial court erred when it found that there was no delay during which time an arrest warrant could have been obtained. Defendant argues that the officers could have obtained an arrest warrant during the one-half hour to forty-five minutes that they drove around the Humboldt Park area. Nevertheless, there was no showing by defendant of the time it would have taken the officers to proceed from the Quinones home to the First Municipal District Court, request and obtain a warrant for defendant's arrest, and then proceed to defendant's residence. We believe that the half hour to forty-five minutes time was not unreasonable in light of the evidence presented. Even if the officers had had the opportunity to obtain a warrant, the trial court's finding of exigency would not necessarily be invalid. As noted above, the various factors frequently considered are not exclusive and need not all be present for a finding of exigent circumstances. People v. Henderson (1981), 96 Ill. App.3d 232, 236, 421 N.E.2d 219.
Defendant further argues that the trial court's determination that the officers could reasonably believe that defendant would be armed was improper. Defendant notes that Quinones allegedly indicated that Pedro Miranda had taken the murder weapons to be melted down at the foundry where he worked. We agree with the trial court that there could be a reasonable belief that a perpetrator of such brutal slayings as these would be in possession of a deadly weapon.
The defendant also alleges that, for the purposes of determining exigent circumstances, the presence or lack of a clear showing of probable cause was seriously in question. He highlights the conflicts in the testimony of the detectives who indicated that they were led to Ocasio by information from Quinones, and the testimony of Quinones, which indicated that he did not make a statement regarding defendant until after he arrived at police headquarters where he saw defendant already under arrest. As previously discussed, we believe that the trial court was in the best position to view the witnesses, evaluate their testimony, and determine their credibility.
• 5 Defendant maintains that the trial court should not have found a clear showing of probable cause based on its reliance on Mudry's and Storck's testimony regarding their interview on January 15, 1982, with Quinones in their squad car. According to the officers, in that interview Quinones implicated the defendant in the murders of Anderson and Cruz. Quinones, however, testified that he was not in Chicago on January 14, 1982. On another issue, the trial court did not accept the testimony of the officers when they indicated that the defendant voluntarily accompanied them to police headquarters after they spoke with him on the front porch of his home. Instead the trial court accepted the stipulation between defendant and the State that defendant was arrested in his home and found that the arrest resulted from a forced nonconsensual entry. Defendant therefore concludes that the trial court erred in accepting portions of the officers' testimony and rejecting other portions thereof. We disagree. Again, any conflicts or discrepancies in testimony go only to the weight to be given it, and the trier of fact may accept or reject as much or as little as it pleases of the testimony in a criminal prosecution. (People v. Lutz (1982), 103 Ill. App.3d 976, 980-81, 431 N.E.2d 753; People v. Thompson (1981), 93 Ill. App.3d 995, 1009-10, 418 N.E.2d 112, cert. denied (1982), 458 U.S. 1109, 73 L.Ed.2d 1371, 102 S.Ct. 3490.) Therefore, because the trial court did not accept the officers' testimony regarding defendant's apprehension does not mean that it must also reject all of their testimony on other issues.
• 6 Defendant finally urges that we find his fourth amendment rights were violated based upon People v. Wormack (1980), 91 Ill. App.3d 169, 414 N.E.2d 177. The Wormack defendants were sought for armed robberies and a burglary, during which one defendant had a shotgun and the other a pistol. The court there found that, although there was probable cause to arrest defendant Wormack, there were not sufficient exigent circumstances to justify a warrantless arrest. Nevertheless, Wormack is distinguishable from the instant case. In Wormack, the police officers forced open a locked outer door into the common entryway of defendant's apartment building at 2:00 in the morning. The court found no evidence that the suspect was in the apartment when they entered or that he would be armed. Further, the court stated that there was no evidence concerning the likelihood that the suspect would flee the building during the time necessary to obtain a warrant. The court also questioned the reasonableness of an entry at 2 a.m., particularly in light of the fact that nighttime warrants were available. In contrast, the officers in the instant case did not violate defendant's rights in their manner of entry into his home, and defendant has not convinced us otherwise. They had reason to believe he would be in the premises of his home and, as previously discussed, that he might attempt to flee. After examining the numerous factors present here, we agree with the trial court that the officers acted reasonably, and that exigent circumstances were present which precluded the necessity for an arrest warrant. Defendant's fourth amendment rights, therefore, were not violated.
Because we find that defendant's warrantless arrest did not violate his constitutional rights, we need not address the argument that his subsequent statements to the police should have been suppressed as the result of an illegal arrest. We next address defendant's contention that the trial court erred in denying his motion to suppress his statements. He claims that his fifth amendment rights were violated because the statements he made while in custody were involuntary due to threats and physical harm.
• 7 In determining whether a statement was voluntarily given, a court will look to the totality of circumstances involved. (People v. Holloway (1985), 131 Ill. App.3d 290, 307, 475 N.E.2d 915.) The court need be persuaded only by a preponderance of the evidence that the statement was voluntary. (People v. Cozzi (1981), 93 Ill. App.3d 94, 98, 416 N.E.2d 1192.) The test used to evaluate the voluntariness of a statement is whether it was freely made without inducement or compulsion of any sort or whether a defendant's will was overcome when he confessed. (People v. Martin (1984), 102 Ill.2d 412, 427, 466 N.E.2d 228 (citing People v. Prim (1972), 53 Ill.2d 62, 70, 289 N.E.2d 601, cert. denied (1973), 412 U.S. 918, 37 L.Ed.2d 144, 93 S.Ct. 2731), cert. denied (1984) 469 U.S. 935, 83 L.Ed.2d 270, 105 S.Ct. 334; People v. Holloway (1985), 131 Ill. App.3d 290, 475 N.E.2d 915.) In assessing the nature of a statement, factors to be considered include the age, education and intelligence of the accused, the duration and method of questioning, whether the accused was given his constitutional rights or subjected to physical punishment, and whether the accused was provided with necessities during questioning. People v. Martin (1984), 102 Ill.2d 412, 466 N.E.2d 228; People v. Holloway (1985), 131 Ill. App.3d 290, 475 N.E.2d 915.
• 8 Defendant testified that he was handcuffed by one hand to a wall in the interrogation room. He indicated that, although he requested an attorney after having been read his Miranda rights, an officer told him that he would be better off without one and that he should make a statement if he wanted to avoid physical harm. Defendant stated that Mudry grabbed him by the neck and threw him against a chair and also threatened him with harm if he did not make a statement regarding his participation in the murders. He introduced at trial a photograph taken while he was in custody which allegedly revealed a bruise on his neck resulting from Mudry's actions; however, defendant has not included this photograph in his record on appeal under Illinois Supreme Court Rule 608. (87 Ill.2d R. 608.) Defendant further claimed that he decided to cooperate with the investigation only after Mudry returned to the interview room and told him that Ventura had given information regarding the slayings. Defendant also testified that he had informed Storck as well that he wanted an attorney and that Storck, too, told him he would be better off without one.
Defendant's mother testified that she saw her son in the interrogation room, crying and handcuffed by one hand to the wall. She also stated that she had observed the mark on his neck but did not know how he received it. She indicated that her son told her that he had been threatened and choked by the officers.
Mudry testified that defendant was seated and not handcuffed during questioning. He explained that defendant was fully advised of his Miranda rights which he said he understood. Mudry indicated that he did not threaten to beat defendant and did not coerce him into making statements and that it was defendant who informed Mudry that he wanted to talk. Mudry testified that he never told defendant he would be better off without an attorney, and that defendant never told Mudry that he wanted one. Mudry further stated that defendant did not cry in his presence. Storck, who was present during the questioning of defendant, corroborated Mudry's explanation of the events.
Defendant also was questioned later by an assistant State's Attorney, David Kerstein, who testified that he informed defendant of his Miranda rights prior to questioning. According to Kerstein, defendant did not request an attorney, no one in his presence told defendant he would be better off without an attorney, and no threats were made to defendant. Kerstein stated that defendant did not cry in his presence. He offered defendant food, coffee, and the opportunity to use the washroom facilities. When Kerstein later saw defendant in an interview room, Mudry and a court reporter also were present. Kerstein again advised defendant of his Miranda rights, and defendant proceeded to give a statement regarding his involvement in the murders. Kerstein indicated that, after the statement was transcribed, he took it to defendant and asked him to initial each page if he agreed with the statement. Defendant did so. Regarding the mark on defendant's neck, Kerstein testified that he had seen it but that defendant never complained to him of any pain or discomfort.
The trial court found that defendant's statements about his participation in the slayings were not the result of mental or physical coercion. It determined that, based upon the evidence produced at the hearing and upon the testimony and credibility of the witnesses, defendant's statements were voluntary. In making a determination regarding the voluntariness of a defendant's statement, the trial court need not be convinced beyond a reasonable doubt, and its findings will not be disturbed unless they are against the manifest weight of the evidence. (People v. Martin (1984), 102 Ill.2d 412, 426, 466 N.E.2d 228, cert. denied (1984), 469 U.S. 935, 83 L.Ed.2d 270, 105 S.Ct. 334; People v. Davis (1983), 97 Ill.2d 1, 20, 452 N.E.2d 525.) We find here that, despite the conflicting testimony regarding the conditions under which defendant's statements were made, the trial court's finding of voluntariness was not against the manifest weight of the evidence. Defendant's constitutional rights were not violated.
For the foregoing reasons, the judgment of the circuit court of Cook County is affirmed.

Obesity and metabolic syndrome have been linked to impaired brain function in adolescents in new research.
According to the analysis, which was published in the journal Pediatrics, as the prevalence of childhood obesity has increased, so has the incidence of metabolic syndrome.
Metabolic syndrome is defined by an individual having three or more of five identified health problems, these being abdominal obesity, low levels of good cholesterol, high triglycerides, high blood pressure and pre-diabetic insulin resistence.
Lead investigator Antonio Convit explained: "There are huge numbers of people out there who have problems with their weight. If those problems persist long enough, they will lead to the development of MetS and diabetes.
"As yet, there has been very little information available about what happens to the brain in the setting of obesity and MetS and before diabetes onset in children."
In the study, it was found that young people with metabolic syndrome took longer to complete tasks, could not read as well as they once could and had poorer maths scores.

Facebook's search box could become home to a new form of advertising known as Sponsored Results.
The ads would appear alongside Facebook's organic results when users conduct searches for specific pages or places (rather than keywords, ala Google AdWords) on the social network. No word yet on if or when the ads will launch to a larger audience.
Testing began last week. Ads will be sold on a cost-per-click basis and will only appear in Facebook's search typeahead, not on a search results page.
TechCrunch was first to report the Sponsored Results test. Facebook later confirmed its existence.
"We are currently testing a feature that surfaces sponsored results along with the organic results when people are looking for things on Facebook," according to a Facebook spokesperson. "We try to show people apps and pages they'll be most interested in."
Facebook post-IPO monetization push continues. If you need a recap of all the recent Facebook ad changes, Hollis Thomases offers a recap on ClickZ.
News of the new ads has some speculating whether this will hurt the relevance of Facebook's search results (really?). Others have noted that Facebook search is more targeted toward finding specific people, places, or apps, whereas Google search is more about discovery.
What do you think of these new ads?

Which looks like it works until I reboot then nothing again. Any other thoughts ? Cheers Bob

Foodfight! 2012
The movie that's running on the monitors in the waiting rooms for Hell.
Batman Returns 1992
Superior in every conceivable way to the first Michael Keaton BATMAN, and anyone who doesn't think so is out of their goddamned mind. Not only is Keaton perfect again, but so are Danny DeVito, Michelle Pfeiffer and Christopher Walken. The scene where Bruce Wayne and Selena Kyle discover each other's alter egos still gives me a rush, and I can't tell you how many times I say "You've got kind of a dark side, don't ya?" to other people. Great dynamics and themes going on all over the place in this one.
