Officer shoots restrained pit bull and gets charged
The original story is here :Video of pit bull shooting draws wrath
The dog was staying with a sitter, and escaped the garage. Neighbor called the cops and AC for a strange dog. AC restrained the dog only for the officer to shoot it five times while on the catch pole. He also managed to his his own car with a stray bullet.
Commerce City officer faces felony charge for shooting dog - The Denver Post
The city isn't taking too lightly to the officers actions which were caught on tape and he is now facing charges. Hopefully this is a big step in stopping animal cruelty.
you know the sad thing is that had this not been caught on tape and trended on social media, this cop would have gotten away with it. This really pisses me off because it gives LEO's a bad name! This also bothers me. If a person is restrained via handcuffs, then you as a LEO are not authorized ANY force against them. In this mean taser, or OC spray. There are other way to handle stuff. This should be no different. The AC officer had the dog on the pole making him restrained. NO force should have been used, let alone the taser AND 5 shots.... And they said it was for the safety of the community and officers on scene yet they questions 15 witnesses who could have all been hit by that bullet ricochet! Thanks for sharing, I hope justice is served!
This...I'm happy to read:) Maybe it will take only one officer losing their job to prevent other stuff like this. I believe the animal control person was horrified at what the officer did and played a part in letting officials know this.
Good! Let that be a lesson for any trigger happy cop that shoots first and thinks later.
@llombardo, you could clearly see that the AC Officer was upset. However, I am not sure if the Officer would have been charged had there not been proof in form of a video. They were so quick in releasing a statement that the Officer acted out of fear, I doubt anything had been done at all.
Makes you wonder how many dogs have unecessarily been shot in the name of "I feared for my life and the safety of our community."
Difficult video to watch :( The PB is clearly restrained, there was no need whatsoever for the officer to shoot that dog. If it were my dog, I would be completely furious.
Good. He needs to be charged.
It makes so sick. Perhaps if they hadn't tortured the dog with tasers and then not even been able to deliver a kill shot I wouldn't be QUITE so outraged. But they did, even after hurting her like they did she did not try to attack them, and then to be slaughtered so inhumanely while restrained - WHAT kind of mental state are those officers in?? How could they do that?
Reminds me of this one! It looks like a clean shot at first, too, but then yo use her submissively wagging her tail and they shoot again. While completely restrained.
In reference to the second video: What a heartbreaking video. The only shot I approve of is the second one to put the still alive dog out of its misery. I hope he got the max.
What I don't understand is WHY we don't have our police officers armed and trained to handle animals and made to go through courses on body language and safely handling a dog without just slaughtering it - that is someone's family member.
It should just be part of their training - they are bound to run in to dogs in their line of work, the first reaction shouldn't be to hurt and shoot it.

Original journalism from the Center's OpenSecrets Blog
Leftover campaign cash can signal future plans
February 10, 2017 | The money candidates raise and spend during the heat of a campaign are pretty good predictors of the outcome. In 2016, for instance, the candidate who spent more won in 94 percent of Senate contests and 96 percent of House races. But now that Election Day has come and gone, another set of figures can…

Dozens of Congressmen File for Extension on Financial Disclosure Documents
June 15, 2011 | Instead of today, 76 House representatives will sometime this summer release reports on their stock, bond and mutual fund holdings, as well as investments in real estate, ownership interests in private companies and cash, according to a tally by the Center for Responsive Politics.
Capital Rivals: Nancy Pelosi vs. John Boehner
December 2, 2010 | Reps. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and John Boehner (R-Ohio) lawmakers have been in Congress for at least two decades, and have plenty influence to show for it.

Potentially Vulnerable Lawmakers Get Boosts from Party Programs
May 5, 2010 | Both the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee and the National Republican Congressional Committee have programs to help fund and support vulnerable incumbents. The DCCC runs the "Frontline Program" and the NRCC the "Patriot Program," and the increased financial support facilitated by these programs may be a determining factor in these candidates' success at the polls. So far this cycle, the average House Democrat participating in such a program took in took in nearly $600,000 more than the average non-assisted House member, and the average NRCC-assisted Republican collected about $200,000 above the non-assisted House average.

text: Joss is a shortening of the original Russian/ Lithuanian name of Joselowitz. "Owitz" is Russian for "Son of" so Joselowitz means 'Son of Josel" When Jews were forced to choose a surname by the Russian government for census purposes, many went back to the original Hebrew name which was expressed as for example, "David, son of Aaron".. (David Ben Aharon".) So at that time, our ancestors used their Hebrew name to select a surname, hence Joselowitz or "Son of Josel." According to the Lithuanian marriage records which are available online, "Khaim Yoseliovich" (my grandfather) married "Nekha Nariunsky" (my grandmother) on July 24th, 1901 in Kaunus Lithuania (also known as Kovno). Khaim was 20 years old and Nekha was 28 at the time. The witnesses to the wedding were Mortkhel Leizer Bender and Icyk Mones.

I was working in my back yard on Saturday morning when I heard a very loud "bang". My first I thoughts were "gunshot, car backfire, then construction". I turn walk inside grab my cell phone off the table and put it in my pocket and then look out the front windows to the street. I don't see anyone or anything abnormal, but I hear another "bang".
Same thoughts,
gunfire...surely not in my neighborhood,
car backfire... I really don't even know what that sounds like,
construction...yeah that's probably it.
I open the front door and instantly hear the unquestionable sound of a shotgun being pumped.
I could tell it was not far away, but I could also plainly see it was not in my yard or even in the street in front of my house.
I draw and half wrap a folded newspaper around my pistol and walk outside over to the edge of my house so I can peer around the corner and get a better look up the street in the direction of the noise. (My street only has 4 widely spaced houses on a dead-end and we all know each other reasonably well and are friendly).
I see my neighbor standing in his front yard wearing only a pair of boxer shorts and holding a shotgun. I think, what that heck is going on? I watch him walk around his yard for about a minute and I don't hear or see anyone else around so I call out to him, "Hey Jim, you okay?"
Granted I can see he doesn't seem mad/scared etc. but he does look concerned and him with a gun in his undies is not normal.
He turns around,(while keeping his one hand hold on the gun, and the gun pointed at the ground back toward his house). He can't see me, so I stick my head out a little and wave, and he says, "Yea, copper head".
I Step back behind the corner, laugh, holster my weapon and walk over. Apparently we was opening the door to let his dog out and the snake was laying on the front porch, so instead of opting for the shovel Jim gave it two rounds of bird shot. That is not the "normal" snake disposal method in the city.
I have heard guns being shot all my life, but it is always in the context of a shooting range or hunting. I was really surprised at myself for not recognizing the sound of a shotgun blast.
I do have one question, if you heard a "gunshot type" sound in the middle of the day what would you do?

|Performance and Accountability Report Fiscal Year 2009
Management's Discussion and Analysis
Performance Goal 1: Optimize Patent Quality and Timeliness
Patent Quality
Quality improvement continues to drive many of the Patent organization's new initiatives. The Patent organization continues to improve the quality of its products and services using in-depth reviews of work in progress and enhanced end-process reviews to provide feedback to examiners on areas for improvement, targeted training, and safeguards to ensure competencies. The in-process compliance rate is the percentage of applications reviewed during prosecution and prior to allowance that were found to be free of errors. The allowance compliance rate is the percentage of reviewed applications allowed by examiners that did not have any errors.
Patent Pendency
The two primary measures of Patent organization processing time are: (1) average first action pendency, which measures the average time in months from filing until an examiner's initial determination is made of the patentability of an invention; and (2) average total pendency, which measures the average time in months from filing until the application is issued as a patent or abandoned by the applicant. The Patent organization met their pendency targets due to a significantly increased retention rate and to efficiencies gained within the examination corps, which are reflected in the percent of examination time increasing by over two percent from last year.
The USPTO also created a fully electronic patent application management process whereby all patent examiners, technical support staff, and adjunct users can access an electronic image of all patent applications. Patent automation includes more than a dozen specialized applications used in patent examination, multiple search systems, databases, and commonly used office applications.
Patent Efficiency
Measures the relative cost-effectiveness of the entire patent examination process over time, or the efficiency with which the organization applies its resources to production.

House without OSB or plywood in walls?
Is it possible that a house could be built without OSB or plywood in the walls?
The house was built in late 1970's in Michigan.
The exterior is aluminium siding. Then there is this paper thin cardboard stuff that has a shiny aluminium coating on both sides. (not sure what it is called). Then there are the studs with insulation in between. Then there is drywall.
I discovered this while cutting a vent for a new over the range hood.
Is this structurally sound? Could the builders have pulled a fast one? How could it pass a framing inspection?
Thanks for any thoughts.
I did not know that nap, I knew trailers were built that way but not stick built homes
My house is brick-facade, but vinyl on the other 3 sides and the vinyl is laid over exactly the layers you describe. It is two stories over a basement, built in the early '90s. I believe the material is a 1/4" rigid foam board with foil facing. I've never seen any sign of water intrusion through these walls, even in hard hurricane - driven rain. No problems with flex appearing as drywall cracks or anything like that. This is a large-subdivision house; I have to believe it was a pretty common practice. The material was clearly designed for this application.
I installed it for about 7 years, starting in 1973, it's called Thermo-ply. Click on the second one down; http://www.google.com/search?client=...=Google+Search
It is foil faced on both sides, you could get blinded while framing interior walls from the reflections with the outside perimeter walls already up, lol.

Feeding Ecology of Black-headed Uacaris (Cacajao melanocephalus melanocephalus) in Pico da Neblina National Park, Brazil
- Cite this article as:
- Boubli, J.P. International Journal of Primatology (1999) 20: 719. doi:10.1023/A:1020704819367
From June 1994 to October 1995, I conducted a study of the feeding ecology of one group of black-headed uacaris (Cacajao melanocephalus melanocephalus) in Pico da Neblina National Park, Brazil, near the Venezuelan border (01°10′N to 00°26′S, 65°03′W to 66°52′W). Of a total of 429 feeding records, 89% corresponded to fruits from which black-headed uacaris ate ripe and unripe seeds, mesocarps and arils. Seeds were the single most important food item year-around, corresponding to 81% of the feeding records for fruits. Black-headed uacaris used 120 different plant species in 32 families as food. The 3 most important plant species in their diet, Micrandra spruceana, Eperua leucantha, and Hevea braziliensis (all trees), accounted for 38% of the feeding records for fruits. These species produced fruits that were protected by very hard green husks, were barochorous, did not have fleshy mesocarps, and were slow to mature, thus being available as unripe fruits for long periods. The second and third most important species in the diet of black uacaris, Eperua leucantha and Hevea braziliensis, were dominant in the forest: approximately 30% of trees ≥10 cm dbh sampled in a 2-ha botanical transect at the study site. I discuss the formation of large social groups of black-headed uacaris in Pico da Neblina National Park in light of the peculiar floristic composition of the study site.

This cute Back to School Pencil Wreath can be used for a Back to School Party or a Back to School Photo Backdrop. It was really easy to make and I'm going to show you how!
Here is what I used.
LOTS of pencils, 2 pieces of cardboard, hot glue, white, yellow and black paint.
First, I cut out a large circle from one piece of my cardboard. BTW, I cut out my cardboard using a bowl at a stencil. I then started to place the pencils.
Its a tricky thing placing the pencils! I wanted to glue them right away and then would noticed that either they were even or I just didn't like it.
Then this would happen. It happened quite a few times!! :/
So, eventually when I was happy with the design I actually marked each pencil so that I could put them all back on with the hot glue in the same design that I had finally decided on.
Now, I put TONS of hot glue over the pencils to glue on the top piece of cardboard.
Once the glue had dried I painted the top circle cardboard cut out. I FORGOT to take pictures of that!!! I painted the circle black, used the yellow to paint a faux ruler on the edge and used white for the letters. If you by flat or matte paint the white on black looks just like chalk. Only one layer needed!
That cute little apple my hubby made. He cut it out of card stock because I "it just needs something more"! HAHA! But seriously, that little apple was the icing!
SO cute right!?? You could make this as a gift too! Just had the teachers name, maybe something like Ms. Janet is an A+ Teacher!!
I used this wreath for a photo backdrop.
You can read about how I created that backdrop in my Back To School Photo or Party Backdrop Tutorial post!
BTW I have a post of 101 FREE Back To School printables. The cute signs and banners you see above can be found in this post.

More cuts possible at Central Montcalm schools
STANTON — More cuts may be necessary for the Central Montcalm Public School as it strives to submit a balanced budget to the state in four weeks.
In April, the board approved $1.5 million in cuts. In May, they made another $238,000 in cuts. At a special meeting Wednesday afternoon, board members learned an additional $500,000 to $600,000 in cuts may be necessary.
Montcalm Area Intermediate School District Assistant Superintendent of Finance Ron Simon was hired by the Central Montcalm school board in April to fill a similar role in a job-sharing capacity.
"There are three ways to balance a budget," Simon said. "One is to increase revenues, another is to reduce expenditures and the third is a combination of the two. We have 30 days and it is what it is.
Unfortunately, one of the biggest expenses for a school district is its people. That also means the biggest cuts will come from people."
Simon showed pie charts plotting out revenue sources from local, state and federal levels. Currently, the district receives more than 77 percent of its general fund revenue from the state level.
"How different is this chart when you look at other districts?" asked school board Mark Grossbauer. "Is this a snapshot of an average district?"
"There would be some variation, depending on categoricals or at-risk students, but most districts are in the 75 to 80 percentile," said Simon.
Simon said most districts turn over approximately 50 percent of their revenue to salaries.
"How do we spend our funds? Fifty percent of it will be used for salaries, another 29 percent allocated for benefits and 21 percent for other purposes," Simon said.
Alongside this is a projected drop in student enrollment in the fall and an increase in teacher salaries due to step increases, according to Superintendent Jake Helms.
"Most likely we will do some cuts, and have the board approve the budget by July 1," Helms said. "Then Ron will come back at the July budget meeting, we will know more from the state (about per-pupil and other sources of income,) the board can make amendments."

Matching numbers is the product of preplanned automated vehicle production and the muscle cars of the late sixties and all cars through present fall under this category. I believed this for a long time and I am finding out that this is not a popular theory, although there others who also believe this to be true.
So lets lay it to rest once and for all and give me the scoop on what matching numbers really is. I know this generally starts a few disagreements, but this is to find the most popular definition for my own knowledge.
Thanks guys for bearing with me on this matter.
I believe your FIL has it right as far as the federally mandated vehicle VIN that is used to track ownership of a vehicle. The VIN also has other uses, it can tell a number of things about the originally installed equipment like the drivetrain, etc. This first came along in the '50s-'60s and consisted of 14 numbers and letters, later (in the '80s) it got 17 places instead of 14.
But when car enthusiasts talk about a vehicle being "numbers matching" (NM), they are basically saying the car is as it was originally produced, that the originally installed equipment is still intact.
There are shades of gray in all this, too, namely "correct vs. original". Many parts do not carry a partial VIN on them, only a casting number (c/n) and date code in most cases. To be NM, the parts have to have the correct c/n as well as a date code that precedes the build date of the vehicle by the appropriate length of time. So obviously this leaves open the possibility that the "correct" parts (right date and c/n) might not be the "original" parts that actually originated w/that particular vehicle.

Resnick lecturer advocates CIA reform
The lecture is free and open to the public. Goodman will sign copies of his most recent book, "The Failure of Intelligence: The Decline and Fall of the CIA," after the lecture. Books will be available for purchase at the event.
A CIA insider, Goodman is an outspoken advocate of top-to-bottom reform of the U.S. intelligence community. Few are more qualified to talk about this national security issue. Goodman has more than 30 years of experience in the CIA, the State Department's Bureau of Intelligence and Research, and the Department of Defense. From 1966 until 1990 he was division chief and senior analyst at the CIA's Office of Soviet Affairs.
Goodman's talk relates directly to "September 11th and Its Aftermath," a course in McDaniel's new sophomore interdisciplinary studies program. But the lecture's appeal spans a wide audience. It is a rare opportunity to hear about the U.S. intelligence community from someone who has had a front-row seat.
Currently he is a senior fellow and director of the National Security Program at the Center for International Policy. An adjunct professor of government at Johns Hopkins University, Goodman is a former professor of International Security Studies and chairman of the International Relations Department at the National War College.
Mel Goodman co-authored or authored six books, including "The Phantom Defense: America's Pursuit of the Star Wars Illusion," "Bush League Diplomacy: How the Neoconservatives are Putting the World at Risk" and just this year "The Failure of Intelligence: The Decline and Fall of the CIA."
Twice in the past five months on the Baltimore Sun's opinion page, he has implored the next president to return the CIA to its original mission – that is, to gather and supply to policy makers useful, accurate and unbiased information about what is happening in the world.
The Alleck A. & Harriet Resnick Lecture was established in 1999 by Alvin and Elaine Mintzes to honor their friends Alleck and Harriett Resnick in recognition of Mr. Resnick's dedicated service to McDaniel College and in the Baltimore Jewish community. The lectureship, under the guidance of Professor Christianna Nichols Leahy and the Department of Political Science, was established to bring to campus outstanding speakers whose careers have been dedicated to international relations.

The protein encoded by NEUROG3 is a basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factor involved in neurogenesis. Additionally we are shipping Neurogenin 3 Antibodies (114) and Neurogenin 3 Kits (5) and many more products for this protein.
Showing 6 out of 6 products:
These results provide new detail regarding the Ngn3 transcriptional network operating in endocrine progenitor cells to specify a beta (show SUCLA2 Proteins) cell phenotype
Collectively, our results demonstrate that the STAT3 (show STAT3 Proteins)(K392R) mutation causes premature endocrine differentiation through direct induction of NEUROG3 expression.
inflammatory cytokine insults stimulate epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT (show ITK Proteins)) as well as the endocrine program in human pancreatic ductal cells via STAT3 (show STAT3 Proteins)-dependent NGN3 activation.
ChIP experiments confirmed that Pdx1 (show PDX1 Proteins) activates the expression of the downstream transcription factors, Ngn3 and Pax6 (show PAX6 Proteins), by combined with the promoter regions of insulin (Insulin (show INS Proteins)-P), Ngn3 (Ngn3-P), and Pax6 (Pax6 (show PAX6 Proteins)-P).
NGN3 expression in the adult human exocrine pancreas marks a dedifferentiating cell population.
conclude that NEUROG3 is essential for endocrine pancreas development in humans and that as little as 10% NEUROG3 is sufficient for formation of pancreatic endocrine cells
NEUROG3 deficiency produces a rare clinical syndrome characterised by severe malabsorptive diarrhoea from early life and mild diabetes with a variable age of onset.
Activation of the developmental pathway neurogenin-3/microRNA-7a regulates cholangiocyte proliferation in response to injury.
The expression of transcription factor Ngn3 and pancreatic mesenchymal microenvironment are important and necessary to promote pancreatic progenitors differentiated to islet cells regardless of pancreatic development or islets regeneration.
Recessively inherited NEUROG-3 mutations were originally identified in three patients with unexplained congenital malabsorptive diarrhea and an absence of EC.
Prospectively isolated NGN3-expressing progenitors from human embryonic stem cells give rise to pancreatic endocrine cells.
limiting Neurog3 expression dramatically increased the proportional representation of Sox9 (show SOX9 Proteins)(+) Neurog3(TA.LO) progenitors, with a doubling of its mitotic index relative to normal Neurog3 expression, suggesting that low Neurog3 expression is a defining feature of this cycling endocrine-biased state
Duplication of pre-existing beta-cells is not the sole source of new beta-cells during pregnancy; Ngn3 may be involved in this process.
data demonstrate that HIF1-alpha (show HIF1A Proteins) negatively controls beta cell differentiation in vivo by regulating NGN3 expression, and that this effect is mediated by signals from blood vessels.
Data indicate that all neurogenin 3 (Neurog3)-tuberous sclerosis complex 1 (Tsc1 (show TSC1 Proteins))-/- mice developed notable adenocarcinoma-like lesions in pancreas starting from the age of 100 days old.
Hnf1b plays a crucial role in the regulatory networks that control pancreatic MPC expansion, acinar cell identity, duct morphogenesis and generation of endocrine precursors.
The role of neurogenin 3 and PD-L1 (show CD274 Proteins) in the genesis of neo-islets in NOD mice is reported.
Neurog3 establishes the posterior boundary of the serotonergic system by actively suppressing serotonergic specification in the spinal cord.
Insm1 (show INSM1 Proteins) works to promote endocrine cell differentiation in a pathway that involves Neurog3 and Ripply3 (show DSCR6 Proteins)
The control of endocrine cell fate is instead fulfilled by two basic helix-loop-helix factors, Ascl1b and Neurod1 (show NEUROD1 Proteins) and NEUROG3 is not the unique pancreatic endocrine cell fate determinant in vertebrates.
Nkx2.2 coordinately activates NeuroD1 with Ngn3 in the endocrine progenitor cell and plays a role in the maintenance of NeuroD1 expression to regulate beta cell function in the mature islet.
The protein encoded by this gene is a basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factor involved in neurogenesis. The encoded protein likely acts as a heterodimer with another bHLH protein. Defects in this gene are a cause of congenital malabsorptive diarrhea 4 (DIAR4).

text: London - Tottenham Hotspur confirmed on Thursday they had completed the signing of Jan Vertonghen from Dutch giants Ajax after the centre-half passed his medical.The 25-year-old, who captained the Amsterdam club, had agreed terms with the London side on Sunday.Tottenham, in a statement on their Twitter feed, said Thursday: "We are delighted to announce that @Jan-Vertonghen has completed his transfer from Ajax after passing his medical."Vertonghen will bolster a Spurs central defence weakened by the departures of long-serving former captain Ledley King and Ryan Nelsen.Tottenham had been following the progress of the Belgium international for several months, with Vertonghen winning last season's Eredivisie player of the season award as Ajax won the league.Vertonghen, speaking after agreeing terms, said he was glad the deal had gone through despite Tottenham dismissing manager Harry Redknapp and bringing in Portuguese boss Andre Villas-Boas, previously in charge of London rivals Chelsea, instead."I am very relieved," Vertonghen told Sky Sports. "It went on for a long time, but I'm glad I'm a Tottenham player right now and I'm looking forward to playing for the club."I am 25 years old now and I feel ready to play in the Premier League," he added. "I heard that Harry Redknapp really wanted me to play for Tottenham, but now it's Andre Villas-Boas. To me, that doesn't matter."I just want to play for the club and I hope I can please the fans at the club."Vertonghen is Villas-Boas's second signing as Tottenham manager after Iceland midfielder Gylfi Sigurdsson agreed a move to White Hart Lane.

Kurdish student's execution halted in Iran: lawyer
TEHRAN (Reuters) - Iran called a last-minute halt on Sunday to the execution of a Kurdish student activist convicted of "waging war against God" for supporting an anti-government group, his lawyer was quoted as saying.
Law student Habibollah Latifi was arrested in 2007 in western Iran accused of carrying activities on behalf of "anti- revolutionary" groups, Human Rights Watch said in a statement.
He was sentenced to death in 2008, it said.
"We were informed that Latifi was going to be executed on Sunday at dawn...but his execution has been stopped for further review of the case," the student news agency ISNA quoted lawyer Nemat Ahmadi as saying.
"He was sentenced to death for backing the PJAK group."
No judiciary officials were available for comment.
The Party of Free Life of Kurdistan (PJAK), is an offshoot of the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) which took up arms in 1984 for an ethnic homeland in southeast Turkey and northwest Iran.
Opposition websites said Latifi was sentenced to death for "involvement in terrorist acts and membership in an armed opposition group" in the northwestern Kurdish city of Sanandaj.
Under Iran's Islamic law, waging war against God, or "moharebe," is punishable by death. Continued...

I love driving this car we both do. The seat fits you like a glove it is perfect. Most people think its a slow hatch back or somthing have no idea what is under the hood. A few BMW's will try to blow past me but i have to keep my foot out of it. I want to put a cold air intake on it so I can hear the turbo more. Didn't the 07 have a water sprayer or somthing to cool the intercooler I remember the sales guy telling me somthing this year doesn't have it.
Glad I changed the oil not too clean after 653 miles.

if you want to improve the turbo sound, look into something called the "silencer removal" or resonator removal first..

1. Customizing your session settings for deriving bibliographic or constant data records
Open your client and go to the Tools menu (you don't have to be logged on to OCLC to do this) and select Options, then the Derive Record tab. This form allows you to select or de-select the fields in the bibliographic record that you would like to have automatically retained when you either derive a new bibliographic record from an existing WorldCat record or you derive a new constant data record from an existing constant data record. The "derive" function in Connexion is equivalent to using the "new" command in Passport. When you select your preferences for what fields should come over, think about the kind of cataloging you do (formats, monograph vs. serial, classification scheme used, etc.). There are certain fields which will never be retained regardless of the settings chosen (e.g. 040) and you can see a complete list of these highlighted in yellow by clicking on the Help button on the Derive Record form. The Reset button will set the choices back to the system default. Just remember that if you err on the side of retaining rather than losing fields, you may still have to delete or edit some of the fields that come over because they may not apply as is to the item in hand (e.g. ISBN if you select 02X).
2. Customizing your session settings for offline cataloging
Open your client and go to the Tools menu (you don't have to be logged on to OCLC to do this) and select Options, then the General tab. The right-hand side of this form is where you will enter your settings so you can do offline cataloging (i.e. create original records without being connected to OCLC). What these settings do is supply information that normally the system gets from your OCLC authorization. When you log on to OCLC, the number you are logging on with tells the system what institution you are from, if you're an LC or a Dewey Library, etc. But when you're offline, you're not connected via an authorization, so you fill this area out once and the system will know what to supply in the record. There are four pieces of data to be filled in:
(Notre Dame values in bold)
Classification scheme: Library of Congress
Holding Library code: INDU (049)
Institution symbol: IND (your OCLC institution code that gets supplied in 040 whenever you update a record) Saint Mary's: ISN; ND Law: XND; Holy Cross: XXH; Bethel: XBE
MARC Organization code (NUC code) : InNd (only need this if you're someone at a NACO library creating NACO records) (ND music funnel: InNdHLMu)
3. Derive a new record from an existing bib record in WorldCat (online)
"Deriving" records in Connexion is equivalent to using the "new" command in Passport. This should be used when you need to create a new bibliographic record, but rather than starting from scratch using a workform, you want to use an already existing related record as a basis for the new one.
A. Locate and open the existing WorldCat record that you wish to use as the basis for your new record.
B. Click on the Edit menu and select Derive/New record
Type Ctrl Alt C
C. At this point you'll be prompted as to whether or not you want to transfer fixed values. In most cases you'll probably want to say "yes" to bring over the LDR and 008 data.
D. You should now see your "new" record and it should contain the fields you specified up front in no. 1 above. Also note that the title bar reads: Bibliographic Workform: Books. This is a visual cue that you are in the new record that hasn't been saved to the database yet. The original WorldCat record you derived from had brief title information from the 245 field and it is still open and accessible using the Windows menu to navigate to it.
E. To save your record to the online save file:
Click on the Action menu and choose Save Record to Online File
Type Ctrl Alt V
Your record is now saved in the shared online save file that everyone at your institution has access to, just like the save file you're used to using in Passport. The system will always assign the lowest available save number, starting at 1. When you save the record, it will close it and you'll be back looking at the existing WorldCat record you derived from.
4. Create a record from scratch using a workform
To pull up a workform, click on the Cataloging menu and select Create/Single Record and then you see a choice of formats:
Books=ctrl Shift B
Computer Files=ctrl Shift P
Maps=ctrl Shift M
Mixed Materials=ctrl Shift I
Scores=ctrl Shift C
Serials=ctrl Shift L
Sound Recordings=ctrl Shift R
Visual Materials=ctrl Shift V
You can now fill in the necessary data, save as needed, and eventually update the record to add it to WorldCat.
5. Create a record by applying constant data to a workform
If you currently use constant data in Passport that you will want to use in Connexion, you should notify Jennifer Brcka at email@example.com if you have not already done so. Jennifer has already moved more than 30 constant data records to Connexion's online constant data file as a result of the message we sent out in early February. After today's training, if you requested that constant data be moved, please check and make sure your record is there and that it's working as expected.
A. Open a workform for a book (Ctrl Shift B)
B. To apply constant data, click on the Edit menu and select Constant Data/Online/Apply By Name. This is the safest way to apply constant data if you know the name of the constant data record you want to apply. Simply type the name in the box, select Fixed, Variable or Both and click OK. Your workform will be returned to you with the constant data applied and you're ready to edit, save, update, export, etc.
C. If you don't remember the name of your constant data record, with your workform open, click on the Edit menu and select Constant Data/Online/Apply From List. A search dialog will open and if you hit Enter without filling in any parameters, you'll retrieve the entire list. Once you've found the record you need, highlight it (single-click), choose Fixed, Variable or Both at the top of the screen and click Apply Selected. Your workform will be refreshed with the constant data applied to it and you're ready to edit, save, update, export, etc.
Important note: If you select a record from the list and either hit Enter to open it or double click on it in the list, you are opening the constant data record and anything you edit will be changing the constant data record itself, not your workform! So be sure to Apply the record. You can always verify where you are by checking the title bar of the open window. If you are in the constant data record, it will say that and give the name of the record (e.g. ETD04). If you are in your workform, it will say Bibliographic Workform followed by the format (books, maps, etc.).
6. Searching and customizing the Online Save File
To initiate a search of the online save file:
Click on the Cataloging menu and select Search/Online Save File
Type Ctrl F3
A search dialog will appear and if you leave the search boxes blank and just hit enter, you get the whole list of save file records (equivalent to the si command in Passport).
If you know the save file number of the record you want, you can go straight to it by entering the number in the Search box and making sure Save File Number has been selected.
Unlike Passport, Connexion provides a number of alternative ways of searching the save file, so if you forget to make a note of the save file number, you can do keyword searches on title, OCLC control number and a few others. A word of caution: I haven't tested this extensively, but I found that I did have to include diacritics in the search box in order to pull up words in our Arabic records (e.g. a search for dairat in Title got no hits; a search for da'irat produced a hit) and I found I had to include an acute accent in another record in order to retrieve it.
Life of the Connexion Online Save File
In Passport, all records had a life of 14 days if not resaved. In Connexion, if what you have in save is a new original record that you've created from a workform or derived from another record, it will have a life of 28 days before it expires. However, if you put an existing WorldCat record in save, that category still has a 14-day life span.
Customizing the Columns in the Save File
Click anywhere in the list once, then right click and select List Settings. This gives you a very easy way to select and de-select which columns you want to appear and the order in which they appear. Just select an item in the list and then choose to hide it, show it, move it up (i.e. to the left of the screen) or move it down (i.e to the right of the screen).
7. Editing Techniques and Shortcuts
The major change is that diacritics now go AFTER the letter being modified, not in front of it. To enter diacritics and special characters you can still click on the ALA icon like before, or go to the Edit menu and select Enter Diacritics, or type Ctrl E.
If you don't like using the ALA table and especially if you use the same diacritics most of the time, you can enter them using keystroke shortcuts that have been assigned in the system. You can see what those settings are by going to the Tools menu and selecting Keymaps. This brings up the keymaps dialog. Where it says Display Commands for Category, select Character. On the left side, you'll see a scroll down list of all the characters that have been assigned shortcut keys and as you select a character, its shortcut will appear in the Current Shortcut Keys box on the right. So you might want to make yourself a cheat sheet of the ones you use most often and keep it handy. It is possible to reassign shortcut keys from this same dialog and it will warn you if you try to assign a key combination which is already in use. But I'd recommend not changing those if you can avoid it. If in the future we want to be able to create and share macros, it will be much easier if everyone is using the same default keymap.
Text Strings
Text Strings is a new feature which can help us be more efficient in our work. You can set these up to add commonly used textual strings or to add fields or even several fields at a time just using a user tool or a keyboard shortcut. There is no limit on the number of characters in a text string. These are local to your machine.
Go to the Tools menu and select Text Strings, then choose Add to create one.
In the Description box you just type a name or phrase that's going to make it clear to you what it does. Then tab to the Text area and type what you need:
To construct a field with its MARC coding, type the tag, value for indicator 1, value for indicator 2, and the first character of the data with no spaces between:
24510This is the title
590 This is a note. (includes 2 spaces between tag and field data for blank indicators 1 and 2)
Press <Enter> between fields if you enter multiple fields.
Once you create the text string, you have to assign it to either a keystroke shortcut or to a user tool.
Assign a text string to a keystroke combination:
With the text string highlighted in the list of text strings, click on Keymaps and select Text in the Display Command for Category box.
Highlight (single click on) the description of your text string in the list on the left hand side and then click inside the Press new shortcut key box to the right.
Try different key combinations until you find one that has not been assigned. Then click Assign and then OK.
Assign a text string to a user tool:
With the text string highlighted in the list of text strings, click on User tools and select Text in the Display Command for Category box.
Highlight (single click on) the description of your text string in the list on the left hand side and then open up the list of Tools 1-10 by clicking on the arrow under Select new user tool to the right.
If you select one that has already been assigned, you will be told that. Once you find a free user tool, click Assign and then Close.
To apply a text string within a record, just type the keystroke combination if you've used the keymap method, or select the appropriate user tool by either going to the Tools menu and selecting User Tools and then the appropriate number (or typing Alt T T and then the number). You can also add a user tool button to your toolbar by selecting the Tools menu, then Toolbar Editor. Scroll down until you reach ToolsUser Tools and the number you want. Then click, hold it and drag and drop to the area of the toolbar you want. Then you just click on that new button when you want to invoke the text string assigned to it.
Basic Editing Commands
All the basic editing options are on the Edit menu with their keystroke equivalents indicated. I also strongly suggest you go into the Client Help (F1) and read the section on editing bibliographic records (click on the Index tab, type edit, double click on Bibliographic records, select Edit bibliographic records and click Display). This is full of helpful information on moving around within a record, making changes, saving records, etc.
To add a new field, choose Insert blank field from the Edit menu, and then either Above current field (Shift Enter) or Below current field (Enter).
Delete field and Copy field are both available from the Edit menu or you can right-click on the field and get those options as well.
Double-clicking highlights a word, triple-clicking highlights the entire text within a field.
Reformat gets rid of extra empty fields and reorders variable fields into numeric tag order.
8. Basics of Offline Original Cataloging
Everything we've covered in this session you can also do offline, without being connected to OCLC. To get started, make sure you've gone through the steps in sections 1 and 2 above. In addition, you will want to save any constant data records you regularly use to your local constant data file. This will put them into a default location on your own machine so they are available to you even when you're not logged on to OCLC.
A. Save online constant data locally:
Log on to OCLC. Pull up the list of online constant data (Ctrl N, then Enter with no search parameters chosen). Single click on the record you want and select Save record to local file from the Action menu (or hit F4). Choose Resave when prompted (this will keep the constant data record available for everyone to use online while moving a copy into your local constant data file for you to use offline). Log off.
B. Backing up your local data to a network drive:
Connexion has a built-in backup feature for your local files, but unfortunately it is in the same folder as the original files, so that's not very helpful if your hard drive crashes or your machine needs to be re-ghosted. But you can very easily change the backup location to something else, like your N drive which is backed up by the OIT on a daily basis:
Open Connexion (you do not have to be logged on) and click on the File menu and select Local File Manager. Click on the Auto Back Up button in the top right corner. Select the Back up local file to option and click Browse. Click on your N drive, then on Private, then on Make new folder. Type in the folder name as OCLC Backups. Click OK twice to exit the dialog.
Working offline is perfect for the first stage of the original cataloging process when you're working from the item in hand to transcribe the descriptive elements of the record, add the appropriate fixed field data, etc. You can pull up workforms and apply constant data to them. To derive a new record from an existing record, you'll have to be logged on to find and open the related record. Then execute the derive command, but then immediately save it to the local save file. Then the record will be available from your local save file for future editing without logging on. When you're ready to update it or you need to interact with the authority file, you can then copy the record from your local save file to the online save file. You will need to be logged on to do that. Choose Save record to online file from the Action menu. You will be prompted as to what you want to do with the local record, resave it or delete it (or think of it as asking whether you want to copy the record or move it). I would recommend deleting it just so your local save file doesn't get too cluttered with records you are essentially done with.
Advantages to Offline Cataloging:
No Internet connect charges or tying up a dedicated port while you're working.
You can work even when OCLC is down because everything is being done on your machine.
Local save file never ages so you won't lose your record because you forgot to resave something.
Disadvantages to Offline Cataloging:
You can't search WorldCat bibliographic or authority records while you're offline.
You can't validate the record, but offline validation is coming in a future version.
As long as you're using the default local save file, no one else can see your record, but eventually we'll use shared network drives that are or can be made accessible to others.
Summary To Do List
To prepare for original cataloging in Connexion, both online and offline, follow the instructions in sections 1, 2, 5 and 8 above in order to:
1. Customize your session settings for deriving bibliographic or constant data records
2. Customize your session settings for offline cataloging
5. Verify that any constant data you use in Passport has been successfully moved to Connexion
8A. Save online constant data locally
8B. Set the Auto Back Up of your local data to a network drive

|The Age home > Realfooty > Article
After the match, which Ireland won 7.9 (51) to 2.7 (19), PNG director of football Scott Reid said his side had been a little awestruck in the first half, but urged the AFL to increase its present commitment of $30,000 a year to develop the game in the country to at least $100,000.
For a sport with a declining participation rate in this country, it must come as good news that Papua New Guinea has 5000-6000 players, starting with an under-seven competition called Pikinini Pilai Rules.
The match was played with pride and genuine feeling by both sides.
In the first half, the Mosquitoes could match Ireland's intensity for only brief spells but by the end of the match they were at least even in general play.
The crowd drifting in for the evening's main match, between Hawthorn and the Kangaroos, sympathised with the Mosquitoes, one Hawthorn supporter crying out, perhaps unnecessarily: "There's two sides out there umpire, in case you haven't noticed."
At the end, as the Irish threw themselves jubilantly into one another's arms, the Mosquitoes gathered in the centre of the ground for a team prayer.
Papua New Guinea's Rex Leika won the medal for best player in the final.
Irish captain Michael Johnson made a speech that began in Gaelic, in the manner of winning captains in his country's All-Ireland hurley and Irish football finals, before calling for three cheers for Papua New Guinea.
In truth, not many people saw the match - but not many saw the match, 144 years ago, on the slope above the MCG between Melbourne Grammar and Scotch College, now acknowledged as the first game of Australian football.
From little things big things grow.

Owner of Framingham drug firm faulted
Pharmacist Barry Cadden, co-owner of the Framingham pharmacy blamed for the deadly national meningitis outbreak, has a long history of not cooperating with federal regulators, including one 2004 inspection when he initially denied having an eye medication that was the subject of a complaint, according to a memo released Monday by a Congressional committee. An inspector later spotted a drawer labeled with the drug's name and asked Cadden to open it. Inside were 189 vials.

Even though YouTube is a huge success with its audience, the site itself is a mess. It is visually distracting, and I never can find what I want when I want it. On Hulu, it is a lot easier to understand what is going on and find the episodes you may want to watch.
Let's say you wanted to relax and watch a movie on your computer. What does Hulu have? One click at the top of any page gets a list of some movies and ways to find more. How do you find all the movies on YouTube? I spent five minutes wandering around the site and I still don't know.
So maybe before Google sends more people to Hollywood seeking films, it might want to build a better online theater in which to watch them.

Exactly how The Simpsons Have Decreased For many years
Bender, the robotic personality gives the rude comic alleviation while the component of love is presented by Fry and also Leela and also it is done so once again with an entire heaping of corn and also cheese. Futuama however is still a much premium program to the Simpsons just due to its varied personalities. Cable brought us the Simpsons when it initially appeared, it was a course damaging program. simpsonize me
TELEVISION is all regarding fresh and also brand-new material and also the Simpsons requires to advance if it desires to stay in the prime time port. If a program like South Park could transform from ending up being thirty mins of restroom humor to a program including pungent social and also political discourse as well as witticism after that so could the Simpsons. Its time the authors of the Simpsons recognized that.
As the target market of the program expanded as well as obtained wed, the program began ending up being concerning Homer. Due to the fact that the personalities in the program never ever aged, the followers of the program did as well as consequently altered preferences.
One more factor for this motif is possibly the authors of the program. If you have actually ever before seen the program Futurama, you will certainly observe that it has an extremely comparable concept. Fry the adorable goof is constantly squashing on Leela – the one considered mutant lady.
What pre-owned to be the King of TELEVISION in the old days, The Simpsons currently is a TELEVISION program that has actually ended up being old as well as corny. Well, keep in mind in the old days when the Simpsons was a high quality program that was damaging obstacles? We all enjoys Bart's shenanigans as well as the program was concerning social circumstances, fascinating characterizations as well as strong humor.
The program currently was an ethical message which makes it preachy and also aggravating. Contrasted to various other computer animated programs such as Family members Man, the Simpsons is stumbling.
Currently it has actually been delegated to the various other women driven marsh of programs that generally air on the WB network among others. It will certainly be just an issue of time that it begins revealing just on TELEVISION land. The lengthiest running program on TELEVISION remains in threat of withering as well as outdated.

Turkish PM Blasts Zionism Amid Attempts To Reconcile Syria Conflict
(MintPress) – Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan labeled Israel Zionism a "crime against humanity" during a speech at a United Nations forum Thursday. This remark has been sharply criticized by representatives from the United States and Israel ahead of critical talks regarding the crisis in Syria. Since the outbreak of violence in March 2011, the Syrian civil war has lead to the deaths of at least 50,000 and nearly 1 million refugees and internally displaced people.
Newly-confirmed Secretary of State John Kerry is expected to address the comments when meeting with leaders in Ankara, the Turkish capital on Friday.
This follows Washington's announcement authorizing the first official non-lethal aid to the Syrian rebels Thursday, a pledge that includes $60 million worth of food rations and medical supplies. The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) is alleged to have been secretly aiding the Syrian rebels battling dictator Bashar al-Assad's regime since 2012.
The Turkish president decried the political movement to establish a Jewish state in Palestine at a U.N. forum in Vienna saying, "As with Zionism, anti-Semitism and fascism, it is inevitable that Islamophobia be considered a crime against humanity."
Prime Minister Benyamin Netanyahu quickly criticized the Turkish prime minister's statement, calling it "a dark and mendacious statement the likes of which we thought had passed from the world."
President Obama has long maintained support both for Israel and Zionism. "We will always reject the notion that Zionism is racism," Obama said during a 2012 speech at the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) in Washington.
Turkey borders Syria to the north and is a member of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), making it a critical country central to any discussions about a coordinated military intervention to assist rebels in Syria.
Of the more than 600,000 Syrian refugees who have fled since the outbreak of violence, 200,000 have entered Turkey, a humanitarian crisis that swelled the populations of countries in the region.
Erdogan's remarks continue the steady decline between Turkey and Israel in recent years. Bilateral relations declined significantly following the Mavi Marmara incident in 2010. The Mavi Marmara, an aid ship attempting to deliver aid to the blockaded Gaza strip, was raided by Israeli commandos in the dead of nightv— resulting in the deaths of nine passengers on board.
Turkish officials condemned the incident, demanded an apology and expelled the Israeli diplomatic envoy in protest.
Israel has maintained a military blockade of the Gaza strip since 2006, a measure that the Netanyahu administration believes is necessary to cut the flow of illegal weapons going to Hamas, Islamic Jihad and other groups deemed to be terrorist organizations by Israel and the United States.
A 2011 U.N. report found that Israel's blockade was legal, but that forces had used excessive force when engaging the Mavi Marmara aid ship in 2010.
Turkey was the first Muslim majority nation to recognize Israel in 1949, developing close economic and military ties with Israel. Relations warmed considerably in 1993 during the Oslo Peace Accords when Israeli and Palestinian leadership appeared to be moving closer toward a comprehensive two-state solution to the long-standing conflict.

Living in Crockett
June 2013
Re: Moving 2-3hrs outside the Bay Area
Crockett! On the water (Carquinez Straits), cute houses reasonably priced, awesome pool and community center, lots of artists in residence. And about an hour from Berkeley. Crockett is a gem! former Crocketteer
Sept 2008
Re: Cheaper but safe enough neighborhoods
How about Crockett? It's safe - my 7 year old walks around by herself, and you never hear gunshots! There's a great feeling of community, with lots of community events and meetings. It's a small town where it's easy to get to know people and become part of the community.
Advantages: small, friendly, surrounded by parks (so easy access to hiking and biking), and quite affordable. There is a NICE house down the block, 3 bedroom/2 baths, for $399,000. Oh, many houses have fabulous views, too. The area is pretty staunchly Democratic, too, being an old mill town. Lots of funky, interesting things like the Sunday jazz performances at the local deli, the tiny little weekend farmer's market, and the very nice community pool.
Disadvantages: Lack of public transportation. The nearest big grocery store, as well as the elementary school, are in the next town over, so I end up driving more than I would like. Not many restaurants out here, and not a lot of variety. The nearest truly great pizza is Berkeley (lots on mediocre pizza out here, but it's a long way to Lanesplitter).
Finally, to live out here, you have to have a tolerance for oddity. The houses all have quirks, as do many of the residents. But if you like quirkiness, you might love Crockett. Happy transplant from San Francisco
Feb. 2003
We consider moving to Crockett. Does anyone of you live there or knows somebody who lives there? I would like to know something about the community in Crockett and the commute from there to Berkeley. Is the commute really bad? Unfortunately I have to drive at the rush-hours. I have to be at the Gilman exit at 8:45a.m. and would go back either at 4:00p.m. or at 5:45p.m., which probably doesn't make a difference. Thanks for any response. Christiane
I live in Crockett, and love it. I used to commute to downtown Berkeley, and if you get off at the Gilman street exit, it's not a bad commute at all - the real buildup starts right around Gilman. Actually, if you can somehow arrange to start your job just 15 minutes later or so, it really makes a difference in traffic on that particular commute.
Crockett in general is a really nice place to live. It truly is a small town, and all the businesses are small, locally-owned. There is an active playgroup, a small but nice library, a park with a good playground, and a pool that is open in the summers. The people are nice, and the views are amazing. You are very welcome to contact me with any questions, concerns, etc, or if you just want to meet someone in town! Emma
Crockett has a wonderful, strong Catholic community. We are not Catholic, and felt a *little* like outsiders when we lived there. They have wonderful, dedicated teachers, but school scores are not so great right now. The elementary school is in Rodeo and within sight of an oil refinery. In the event of a chemical emmision (it happened a while back, I recommend you research this for yourself) children and residents have been instructed to shelter in place. The high school mascot is an Indian despite efforts to change it. The views are excellent, dynamic and lovely, but the steep hills mean you do a lot of driving (putting more wear and tear on your car) or you must have legs like a mountain goat. I don't know how long it takes to drive to Gilman at rush hour, but it took around 30 minutes to the Del Norte BART at 5:30 a.m. when we lived there. A new bridge is being built across the Carquinez Straight, which is disruptive but fascinating to watch. The people really care about their community and are nice. There are organizations you can join, including the humorously-named CIA (Crockett Improvement Association). Housing prices are relatively affordable, a boon to first time buyers. As a C company town, most of the older folks used to work there and the history is quite interesting. Depending on the part of town, you can hear the C whistle at various times of day, the passing trains and the foghorns. Go and visit, picnic at a park, walk the hills and see how you like it (this actually goes for anyplace you may decide to live). good luck
I just wanted to apologize for my earlier post about Crockett. Upon reading it a few days later, I noticed it had a rather negative tone, which was not my intent. (I wanted it to be balanced). It really is a special place, a small-town gem, a rarity in the bay area. It will always have a special place in my heart. good luck

The .45 ACP and the .45 Auto are the exact same round.
I saw a similar thread on 380 auto/380acp and one reply stated they were the same and another reply stated to use only what was exactly stamped on the gun barrel.
If the same holds true for .45 Auto vs .45 ACP, I'm still unsure since I've seen some guns stamped .45 ACP and the Ruger (SR45) that I'm waiting to get is stamped .45 Auto.
I haven't been shopping yet for .45 ammo, so I suppose the question would be answered if I see boxes labeled .45 AUTO and labeled .45 ACP, in which case I would get the .45 AUTO for the Ruger.
Wish there wasn't so many "variations" between same caliber bullets.
The .45 ACP and the .45 Auto are the exact same round.
There are a few other 45s so auto or acp is the only thing you want to see after 45 unless you want to use +P,which will be after auto or acp.
9mm has about 7or 8 different varieties but you'll normally only see 380,9mmLuger (or Parabellum which is also 9x19) and sometimes 9x18 in the majority of stores.I believe the 9mm Corto and 9mm Largo are the original name for the 380 and 9x18 but don't recall which is which.There;s also the hotrod 9mm Luger offshoots the 9x21,9x23 and 9x25.The 45 seems easier now doesn't it?

D**o I don't mind. W*p, however, I despise. In my family, we were conditioned that D**o is not offensive but W*p is. As for Italians being oppressed, that was definitely true at one point. They certainly weren't looked upon highly when my parents and grandparents came to the States. As for discrimation today, there will always be such that divide themelves from certain cultures but in the case of Italians, I haven't noticed it enough to be an issue.
BTW, Korkscrew, you could pass for Italian.
