Construction activity fell again in November but at a slower rate than earlier in the year, according to the Australian Performance of Construction Index released by the Australian Industry Group and the Housing Industry Association.
Whilst house building activity continued to drop away, the decline in commercial construction and engineering construction slowed and apartment work showed a strong shift towards positive activity.
The Australian Industry Group's director, public policy, Peter Burn, said lower interest rates may have helped stem the pace of decline but had not lifted the sector out of the doldrums, at least not so far.
"The further weakening in new orders, including in the engineering construction sub-sector, points to a continuation of sluggish activity over coming months, even though house builders reported an increase in customer enquiries and the decline in new orders for houses and apartments eased in November," Mr Burn said.
Housing Industry Association Chief Economist, Harley Dale, said the residential construction sector might be bottoming out, but "we have yet to see clear evidence of a sustainable recovery."

In this paper, I review my recent results in investigating hydrogen sensors using nitride-based semiconductor diodes, focusing on the interaction mechanism of hydrogen with the devices. Firstly, effects of interfacial modification in the devices on hydrogen detection sensitivity are discussed. Surface defects of GaN under Schottky electrodes do not play a critical role in hydrogen sensing characteristics. However, dielectric layers inserted in metal/semiconductor interfaces are found to cause dramatic changes in hydrogen sensing performance, implying that chemical selectivity to hydrogen could be realized. The capacitance-voltage (
Recently, hydrogen has attracted considerable attention as a clean energy source instead of petroleum. Hydrogen also has many important applications such as its use in the processes of many industries that include the chemical, petroleum, food and semiconductor sectors. A hydrogen leak should be avoided because hydrogen when mixed with air in the ratio larger than ∼4 vol.% is explosive. For this reason, it has become very important to develop highly sensitive hydrogen detectors with a large variety of specifications to prevent accidents due to hydrogen leakage. Such detectors should allow continuous monitoring of the concentration of gases in the environment in a quantitative and selective way. Therefore, hydrogen sensors would form an integral part of any such systems incorporating hydrogen.
Solid-state hydrogen sensors under flow-through conditions are mainly classified into the following categories: pyroelectric, piezoelectric, fiber optic, electrochemical, and semiconductor sensors [
Hydrogen is reported to be able to alter the effective charge at the metal/semiconductor interface or metal/dielectric interface, resulting in changes in barrier height [
Metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) grown undoped GaN, Si-doped GaN (n-type 5 × 1017 cm−3) epilayers, and AlGaN/GaN heterostructures on (0001) Al2O3 substrates were used for this study, respectively. For Pt–GaN Schottky barrier diodes (SBDs), Ti(20 nm)/Al(100 nm)/Pt(40 nm)/Au(100 nm) multi-layers were formed on either 2 μm undoped GaN films or 2 μm Si-doped GaN films grown on undoped 1 μm GaN layers by lift off of electron beam evaporation as ohmic contacts. The contacts were subsequently annealed at 750 °C for 30 s under a flowing N2 ambient in a rapid thermal annealing (RTA) system. Then, Schottky contacts were formed by lift-off of electron beam deposited Pt(25 nm). For metal-insulator-semiconductor (MIS) Pt–GaN diodes, either a 10 nm SiO2 or a 10 nm SixNy dielectric layer was produced by radio-frequency sputtering at room temperature and lift-off before the Schottky contact formation. For Pt–AlGaN/GaN Schottky barrier diodes, the sample consisted of a buffer layer, an unintentionally doped GaN layer (3 μm thick), and an unintentionally doped AlGaN layer (20 nm) with an Al mole fraction of 24%. The AlGaN/GaN hetero-structure showed typical 2DEG properties with the sheet carrier concentration of 7.9 × 1012 cm−2 and the mobility of 1,237 cm2/Vs as determined by room-temperature Hall-effect measurements. After growth, planar SBDs were fabricated as follows. First, Ti/Al/Pt/Au metals were sequentially deposited and then sintered at 850 °C for 30 s to create ohmic contacts. Finally, 25 nm thick Pt films were formed as Schottky contacts. For all the fabricated devices, the diameter of circular Schottky contacts was 300 μm, and the distance between the ohmic contact and the Schottky metal was 20 μm.
Hydrogen interaction with the devices was investigated using a stainless-steel reaction chamber with tungsten probes under a flowing ambient (100 mL/min) of either N2 or H2 in N2 at a total pressure of 10.0 kPa at room temperature. Here, either 1% or 100 ppm H2 in N2 gas was employed. The
For GaN Schottky diode-type hydrogen sensors, it was reported that an oxidic intermediate layer between the catalytic Schottky contact and the GaN surface is the origin of the hydrogen sensitivity of Pd–GaN Schottky diodes, implying that the metal /semiconductor interfacial modification would lead to significant change in the interaction of hydrogen with devices [
The diode exhibits a good rectifying behavior in both ambients. The
The obtained
Next, hydrogen sensing characteristics of Pt–GaN Schottky diodes fabricated on as-grown and annealed GaN surfaces are studied in order to investigate the correlation between the surface defects of GaN and hydrogen sensing performance. The GaN samples were annealed before contact formation in the RTA system.
As shown in
Here, the sensitivity is defined as a shift of voltage upon exposure to 1% H2 in N2 at a current of 0.1 nA. The error bars represent the range of the measured values. Although the devices fabricated on annealed surfaces displayed a slightly increased sensitivity, taking the error bars of the sensitivity into consideration, significant differences of the sensitivity among the devices are not observed, once again. On the other hand, the inset of
In order to investigate the influence of dielectric layers, including SiO2, SixNy and AlGaN layers, between the metal and semiconductor interface, on hydrogen detection sensitivity, hydrogen response of Pt–GaN diodes with dielectric layers was studied.
As shown in
Hydrogen sensing characteristics of Pt–AlGaN/GaN diodes are generally reported like those of Pt–GaN diodes. In Pt–AlGaN/GaN diodes, the AlGaN/GaN hetero-interface structurally plays a major role in carrier transportation in an SBD. Moreover, in an AlGaN/GaN hetero-structure, the polarization-induced 2DEG concentration at the AlGaN/GaN interface is extremely sensitive to surface states. Any potential changes on the surface by adsorption of gas or liquid polar molecules, or pressure change would affect the surface potential and modulate the 2DEG density, leading to application in excellent sensors. Since the AlGaN layer is undoped and considered to be an insulator, the AlGaN/GaN structure would be regarded as one of MIS structures. Previously, only a few studies revealed the investigation of hydrogen detection sensitivity of Pt–GaN and Pt–AlGaN/GaN Schottky diodes [
As shown in
In the previous section, I compared the hydrogen response of MIS Pt–GaN diodes with both 10 nm SiO2 and 10 nm SixNy dielectrics. As a result, MIS Pt–GaN diodes with a SiO2 dielectric showed a marked improvement in hydrogen detection sensitivity. In sharp contrast, MIS Pt–GaN diodes with a SixNy dielectric did not show any hydrogen response. Since the changes in the
The conduction mechanism for MIS Pt–GaN diodes with both SiO2 and SixNy dielectrics is investigated as follows. In the oxide field range of 0.3–0.9 MV/cm, for MIS Pt–GaN diodes with a SiO2 dielectric, the measured
The FN model is given by:
On the other hand, for MIS Pt–GaN diodes with a SiO2 dielectric, the measured
Note that the capacitances in the accumulation region for MIS Pt–GaN diodes with a SixNy dielectric is about twice as large as those for MIS Pt–GaN diodes with a SiO2 dielectric, consistent with their dielectric constants that are 3.8–4.2 for SiO2 and 7.5 for SixNy, respectively. As shown in
In sharp contrast, for MIS Pt–GaN diodes with a SixNy dielectric, the
As shown in
Although the detailed reaction mechanism of these MIS Pt–GaN diodes to hydrogen is unknown at present, the plausible mechanisms are described as follows. First, the hydrogen-induced changes in the electrical properties may be related to the number of adsorption sites for hydrogen at the metal/dielectric/semiconductor interface of the devices [
Furthermore, SixNy passivation is known to be effective in improving the reliability of AlGaN/GaN high-electron mobility transistors (HEMTs), and the stability of MIS Pt–GaN diodes with a SixNy dielectric exposed to hydrogen, as reported here, may be related to the excellent passivation property of SixNy [
In the previous studies, high-frequency
In order to investigate the detailed mechanism of the interaction between hydrogen and Pt–AlGaN/GaN SBDs, we have conducted low frequency
Note that the
By sharp contrast, at 1% H2, capacitances saturate instantaneously. In low H2 concentrations like 100 ppm, it takes more than 60 min to saturate the
The hydrogen sensing mechanism of nitride-based semiconductor diodes is investigated, focusing on the metal/semiconductor interfaces. Electrical characterization of Pt–GaN Schottky diodes shows the devices fabricated on annealed surfaces display the similar in hydrogen detection sensitivity to those on as-grown surfaces unlike the difference of the PL spectra, implying that the surface defects of GaN do not play a critical role in hydrogen sensing characteristics of Pt–GaN Schottky diodes. However, dielectrics between the metal and GaN surfaces are found to cause dramatic change of hydrogen detection performance, suggesting that the realization of chemical selectivity to hydrogen is possible.
Exposure of Pt–SiO2–GaN diodes to hydrogen at room temperature is found to change the conduction mechanisms from FN tunneling to Pool–Frenkel emission. In sharp contrast, Pt–SixNy–GaN diodes exhibit Pool–Frenkel emission in nitrogen and do not show any change in the conduction mechanism upon exposure to hydrogen. The
A significant increase in the capacitance was observed at a low frequency in Pt–AlGaN/GaN SBD upon exposure to hydrogen. This could be explained by interfacial polarization which is attributable to hydrogen related dipoles,
Future work will involve the following three points: First, more detailed interaction mechanism of hydrogen with nitride-based semiconductor devices should be studied. In this report, only the interaction of hydrogen with nitride-based semiconductor diodes at room temperature was investigated by using electrical methods. Investigation varying the gases, measurement temperatures, device structures and measurement methods may lead to the more specific elucidation of the interaction mechanism [
This study was partly supported by the Grant-in-Aid for Young Scientists (B) of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT). I appreciate the contributions of Y. Nakano and Y. Sumida to this work.

A GRIEVING mum is facing a hefty bill to replace her late daughter's memorial bench after it was destroyed by vandals.
Portland couple Michele and Andy Johnson tragically lost their 14-year-old daughter Jess in 2006.
The youngster, who suffered with a heart condition, collapsed at a friend's house and was dead on arrival at Dorset County Hospital.
In a bid to help the grieving family remember their 'fantastic' teenager, Andy's former work colleagues chipped in for a bench to be installed overlooking Chesil Beach.
Sadly, vandals destroyed the memorial bench last month and it was removed by council workers due to 'safety reasons'.
Jess's mum Michele has hit out at the borough council for sending her a bill worth more than £745 in order to replace the bench with a new one.
She claims that not only did the council fail to inform the couple that the bench was going to be removed, but also failed to post the letter to their home address.
Instead, the letter was found on her husband's desk at work in a hand-written envelope.
The letter, sent by borough council parks supervisor Tara Gooding, said: "It is with regret that I must inform you that the seat donated in memory of Jess Johnson has been rather badly vandalised and has been removed for safety reasons.
"Should you wish to consider donating a new seat in the same location the cost will be £745 plus VAT."
Michele told the Echo: "I am in absolute shock and disgust that we are being asked to pay for what vandals have done to Jess's memorial bench.
"The pain of losing my daughter hasn't gotten any easier and the bench was in a place she used to hang out with her friends. It's all we had to remember her by.
"We haven't got that kind of money and even if we did I don't see why we should foot the bill."
The 50-year-old, who lives on High Street, added: "I was taking my husband down to show him the damage but the bench had gone and we hadn't even been told. And then they didn't even post the letter out properly. It's disgusting."
Kate Ryan, director of communities at Weymouth and Portland Borough Council, said: "We are extremely saddened and disappointed to find that someone has badly vandalised a memorial bench and obviously this has caused undue distress to friends and relatives.
"Sadly the bench is beyond repair and we had no alternative but to remove it for safety reasons.
"Unfortunately vandalism does happen from time to time and the borough council would want to see this bench reinstalled.
"However, as we make people aware when buying a bench the ongoing responsibility for replacing broken or worn out benches rests with the family.
"We would ask that anyone with any information about this incident contacts the police and hope that those responsible would find it in their conscience to come forward and pay for a new bench to make amends for their actions."

Comments about Park Tool TSB-2 Truing Stand Tilting Base:
I'm not sure why this doesn't come with the truing stand in the first place. I was thinking of making one, but I would pay more in materials. I wish it was a metal base, but I'll just need to be careful. My brother has the same base and broke a corner off of it. It works well and should last. A must have.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

You should purchase this base along with your truing stand. It adds stability and versitility for proper use of your truing stand. Indeed you can set your stand to a bench vise, but having this base gives you the flexibility of mobility of truing your wheel anywhere. In addition, the "tilt" feature can only be acheived by this base and not a bench vise or a home-made board used as a base.

Not what I expected but good enough
By Matt W.
from Weilerbach, Germany
So, after years of cheap truing stands I bought a great Park TS-2.2. Loved the stand but it needed this base. I ordered it from Nashbar because it was on sale. [...]The base is decent for what it does, but it is lightweight plastic. Not what I expected from Park Tools. Mine was warped out of the box so the truing stand rocks slightly. I have a towel under it now and that helps, but hopefully during the summer it will get heated in my shop and level out. Base does a good job of keeping the stand from tipping though. To do it again, I would likely just make something from some wood. Would be sturdier and look better.

Sincerely Yours
Gordon Douglas
Liberace, Joanne Dru
USDVD release date: 14 May 2013
To tie in with HBO's new biopic of Liberace, here is that ivory tickler's notorious first and last effort at being a big-screen matinee idol. It's freshly on demand from Warner Archives, and here's the dish:
In a perfect bit of casting, Liberace plays a popular concert pianist, a showman who gives the people what they want. His efficient bespectacled secretary (Joanne Dru) has silently pined for years but for some reason he doesn't notice her. He'll flee from a conversation with her to go chat with his manager (William Demarest) while the latter is taking a bath! And said manager lives with him in the same swanky New York penthouse, as all managers surely do. Hmm.
Well, our man begins a whirlwind romance with some aging debutante (Dorothy Malone) after he chooses to carry on the masquerade when she mistakes him for someone he's not. Hmm again. After he's proposed, he finds he must keep from her his terrible secret—he's going deaf! The cat gets out of the bag and our brooding hero now participates in one of Hollywood's most convenient near-mythical plot devices, the miracle of lip-reading, in order to eavesdrop on the petty joys and miseries of the little people in the park across the street. Will stalking them make him a better person? Maybe, but it mostly seems contrived to spare him from marrying Malone. Hmm once more.
The movie's primary function is to present the dozens of concert pieces, from Mozart to "Beer Barrel Polka", that audiences were paying to see in living Warnercolor. As such, the film presents a creditable vehicle for the maestro's performance style and a welcome break from the stiff plot that keeps interrupting these relaxed musical asides. Irving Wallace's script remakes a creaky stage drama filmed twice before (both times with George Arliss) as The Man Who Played God. Whenever we get away from the melo and back to the drama, the film feels draggy and, ironically, overstated by everyone except Liberace, whose relative restraint might have seemed stiff and unconvincing to viewers and critics. At any rate, they seemed to have trouble buying this rosy-cheeked, nasal-voiced fellow as a serious romantic actor. Let's say he was no Rock Hudson.
Director Gordon Douglas may have thought so too, for he keeps milking reaction shots from minor characters and bystanders. The results feel overdone and tacky, but unfortunately not in the true Liberace manner, for his character sports simple tuxedos with neither glitter nor fur nor candelabra. So in a way it's "Liberace" and not Liberace; that tux is a straight-jacket that doesn't allow him to be himself. For a more satisfying Liberace, check out his nicely outrageous comic turn in The Loved One. Still, if you're even reading this review, you probably want to see this manifestly insincere Sincerely Yours at least once.

Beijing (AFP) Aug 27, 2006
China has failed to control water and air pollution, with the problems worsening, according to a report from the country's top legislature, state media said Sunday. Air pollution control goals set by the government were not only being missed, but air quality deteriorated, said the report released over the weekend by the National People's Congress, according to the Beijing Morning Post.
Sulfur dioxide discharges -- usually from coal-burning power stations -- amounted to 25.5 million tons last year, a 27 percent increase from 2000, making China the world's biggest sulfur dioxide polluter, according to the study.
Coking plants, another culprit, were routinely violating national emissions standards, with nearly all of the 680 plants in China's coal mining region Shanxi guilty of excessive discharge, the study said.
This has contributed to one-third of China's landmass being bathed in acid rain last year, posing problems to soil and food safety, the Xinhua news agency cited the report as saying.
Of 696 counties surveyed, half suffered from a serious acid rain problem, with rainfall in some areas being 100 percent acid rain, it said.
Meanwhile, water pollution control tasks set by the government for 2001-2005 also have not been fulfilled, with waste water discharged reaching 52.4 billion tons in 2005, a 26 percent increase from 2000, Xinhua cited Sheng Huaren, vice chairman of the legislature's standing committee, saying.
He submitted the report at a committee meeting on Saturday.
Water at nearly one-third of monitoring points across the country, including major rivers, remains seriously polluted, according to the report.
To reduce production costs, many enterprises do not treat waste water properly or at all, Sheng said.
Local governments also were to blame, with 278 of 661 Chinese cities lacking sewage treatment plants, while some plants do not operate fully due to inadequate pipe networks.
Sheng blamed the deteriorating environment on local governments' blind pursuit of economic growth.
"It is especially worrying that most local governments base economic growth on energy consuming industries, disregarding the environment's capacity to sustain industrial expansion," Sheng said.
The study was compiled after legislators visited 15 provinces and municipalities in May.
It also found that local officials and firms often underestimated solid waste discharge and cheated on the figures for fear of being punished, Sheng said.
Official statistics showed that only 35 percent of household garbage was properly treated to prevent it polluting soil and underground water.
Accumulation of methane in some garbage dumps has led to explosions.
China's environmental problems were highlighted in last November when around 100 tons of the carcinogens benzene and nitrobenzene poured into its Songhua River after an explosion at a chemical factory in Jilin province.
Water supplies for millions of people living along the river were suspended for days.
A car accident Friday dumped the corrosive liquid caustic soda into a river, threatening water supply for 100,000 residents in Shaanxi province, but officials Sunday said they have successfully contained and diluted the spill.

County DARE program canceled for this year
Sheriff plans return of drug awareness classes in 2009
By BRUCE ALSOBROOK, News-Telegram Managing Editor
August 22, 2008 - The drug awareness program for county schools sponsored by the Hopkins County Sheriff's Office is being canceled for this year but should return in the future.
For close to a dozen years, every Hopkins County school district has had a Drug Abuse Resistance Education program for students. This coming school year, however, there will be no DARE programs at any school.
The decision, attributed to a number of factors, was not one Sheriff Butch Adams wanted to make, but circumstances forced his hand.
"We're taking the year off," Adams said today, obviously unhappy about the matter. "I've sent letters to all the school districts, and I've gotten four back from superintendents saying they wanted it to continue."
DARE programs for county schools was one of the election promises Adams had made when he was voted in as sheriff in 1996, and he held true to the campaign pledge.
DARE instructors target pre-teens in their classes, teaching them about the effects of drug, alcohol and tobacco use in a frank and honest manner. Students also learned other useful tidbits, such as what to do in an emergency and what to expect if they ever have to call 911.
But a series of events that began in January led to the current situation.
On Jan. 17, the DARE progam that had been co-sponsored by Sulphur Springs Police Department and Sulphur Springs Independent School District for approximately 15 years, came to an end. Both police and school officials indicated the decision was mutual, and school officials said at the time they would explore other options for drug education.
In June, SSISD hired a security officer for Douglas Intermediate School who would also be the district's new drug education program teacher.
Glynda Chester, who was at the time the Hopkins County Sheriff's Office Drug Abuse Resistance Education officer, was offered the position to teach the new Drug, Alcohol and Violence Education -- or DAVE -- program to fifth-graders.
That left the sheriff's office without a DARE officer, but Adams said they intended to find and train a new officer in time for the 2008-2009 school year.
In the meantime, Adams said, the school that the county used for training its DARE officers shut down. That meant the nearest place to send an officer for training was Alabama, Adams said, and for several reasons, that was not an option.
But now the county will have plenty of time to get set up for a new round of DARE classes starting in 2009.
"We'll just start getting ready for next year," Adams said.

As the networks dwell on the tenth anniversary of the death of a troubled British princess this week, it might be worth remembering that at the time, we noticed the tabloid tendencies toward celebrity deaths at the time were a much bigger media trend than investigations into the scandalous fundraising tactics the Clinton-Gore team used in 1996. Our MediaWatch study at the time noted:
MediaWatch analysts examined fundraising scandal stories in August and September on the Big Three morning shows and evening shows, plus CNN's The World Today. The networks broadcast 686 stories on Diana between August 31 and the end of September compared to just 113 stories about the fundraising scandal. That's a ratio of more than 6 to 1. Isolating the morning shows, collectively they aired 407 stories on Princess Diana's death, while devoting just 36 to the scandal. That's an astonishing ratio of 10 to 1.
...Like most other months this year, most networks skipped fundraising stories on a majority of their broadcasts. In September's 30 days, with the Thompson hearings in their most dramatic stage, the morning shows were all guilty (CBS 28 days with no story, NBC 24, ABC 22). In the evening, CBS, ABC (both 20 nights off) and NBC (19) took more than half the month off, while only CNN (12) didn't.
In the August issue, MediaWatch had noted how compelling details of the Senate fundraising hearings in July were buried by the media frenzy over the Miami murder of fashion designer Gianni Versace, with a Versace-to-hearings ratio of 7 to 1 on the network morning shows.
This should be required reading for those of you who don't remember the Huang-Chung scandals.

Dallas Plan Commission Punts CityPlace Sam's Club Decision to July
A Sam's Club opponent talks to TV cameras after the City Plan Commission's vote to delay a decision by two months.
Sam's Club will have to wait an extra couple of months before it plants a 140,000-square-foot outpost next to CityPlace. So decided the City Plan Commission, which this afternoon moved consideration of the development plan until July 22.
It was a victory for neighbors, albeit a tiny one. As we mentioned yesterday, the zoning was quietly slipped into place a year ago. The main focus of the Plan Commission's deliberations today was whether public comments could be accepted when it was serving a "ministerial function," i.e. approving a development plan that complies with existing zoning.
The answer from city legal staff and Plan Commission Chair Gloria Tarpley was no. Instead, Tarpley called on the several dozen neighbors in the audience -- about half wearing the day's uniform of a red T-shirt, more wearing "No Mega Store" stickers," one clad in a bike helmet -- to stand in a show of opposition.
Three business types at the back stood in support.
Upcoming Events
In the lobby afterward, Councilman Adam Medrano declined to take a stance on the Sam's project but said the delay was a good move. Talk among the neighbors, meanwhile, focused on strategy. How to jiu jitsu their way into a position of leverage now that they have 60 days to organize? There's no clear way to do that, but there were lots of mention of the phrase "bait and switch."
That's how the president of the nearby Belmont Park Neighborhood Association described the process. He was among the neighbors whom developers courted when they were going through the rezoning process more than a year ago. Then, they were promised East Village, a walkable, urban complement to West Village on the other side of Central. Had they read the fine print and and understood that East Village would include a Sam's Club, they wouldn't have told Pauline Medrano to approve the zoning.

Home Video Shows Police Killing Dog After Being Captured
Poster Handle
Anonymous Coward

officer could have yelled back up everyone... let the animal handler do her job... karma will punish this tard of an officer...
Anonymous Coward 25735923
Sickening. Wondering why the aco asked for pd backup for just one dog. Many times the pd or sheriff dispatcher will monitor animal control frequency or even be their dispatcher also if animal control doesn't have their own. But it's different frequencies & there is no way those cops overhead the call & just decided to go. They were dispatched probably because that aco asked for backup. But why?
The cop kept shooting even after she had it restrained with the pole. But she seemed to only be holding it with one hand when the dog took off. Couldn't tell if she lost her grip with two hands and one hand slid off or if she was trying to stand back (away from the cop aiming his gun) and one hand slipped off.
The aco probably would have been able to restrain the dog just fine if those cops hadn't been there at all.
The catch poles are very effective at containing most dogs but you have to have a very firm grip. She lost her grip for some reason.
And hate neighbors like Kenny Collins. He calls in a stray dog in the neighborhood even though the dog appeared to just be staying on one property. The dog was staying there because the people were watching it for a relative. The dog belonged there.
Poor dog - unlucky chain of events for her. 1) Kenny Collins calls animal control even though dog is not roaming or threatening anyone and not even knowing if it was a new dog for his neighbors 2) ACO asks for police backup and even seems intimidated by them which interferes with her performance 3) Responding cops are assholes.
Very, very sad.
January Wolves
ACO is usually not legally covered to enter a fenced yard or into a house. That is probably why they call for PD backup, the police can move around on property more legally.
ACO officers can get fined for trespassing where cops can not.
If it seems to be a large dog that growls or may show signs of aggression or the neighbors claimed it was aggressive, that is also why the cops were called in with guns.

By Mike Robinson, Associated Press Writer
CHICAGO Businessman Edward Mazur walked into court Friday in the bright orange jumpsuit of a federal prisoner and wearing leg irons to keep him from escaping -- pale after nine months in jail.
But for the 60-year-old Polish-American millionaire wanted in Warsaw for questioning in a major murder case, everything was about to change.
In a stunning decision, federal Magistrate Judge Arlander Keys said the governments of Poland and the U.S. failed to make the case for sending Mazur to Poland and that instead he was being freed.
"The system does work," Keys told Mazur. "It may not work as fast as you wanted it to. But you're not going back to Poland -- not in custody."
Keys even arranged for the release of Mazur from the Metropolitan Correctional Center on an expedited basis.
Mazur left the jail just after 5:30 p.m., wearing a navy blue suit and a white shirt and tie. He exchanged a few words in Polish with Polish reporters, and said, "Talk to my attorney," when asked for comment in English. He then left in a waiting car.
The Polish government had sought the extradition of Mazur, who has both Polish and U.S. citizenship, in the June 1998 shooting death of Marek Papala, the former head of a national police force similar to the FBI.
Papala had investigated drug dealing by organized crime in Poland.
In the arrest warrant the Polish government presented to the Justice Department, Polish officials accused Mazur of paying $40,000 for the murder of Papala, who was gunned down as he emerged from a car near his Warsaw-area home.
Mazur attorney Chris Gair argued his client was the victim of political intrigue in Warsaw and noted that he had once returned to Poland and answered questions from police in the Papala murder investigation.
The unusual Keys decision sent out shock waves. Keys noted that in more than a dozen years on the bench he had never before said no to a request from a foreign government for extradition in a criminal case.
"Never even come close to doing so," Keys said in the written decision.
"But the court is not merely a rubber stamp for a foreign government's decision that probable cause exists, such that an American citizen should be held to answer criminal charges in that country," the judge added.
"Nor is this court permitted to simply hand over a United States citizen simply on the word of a prosecutor, coupled with conclusory allegations and unsubstantiated, unreliable evidence," Keys said.
In Warsaw, Justice Minister Zbigniew Ziobro said Poland would continue to seek extradition of Mazur despite Keys' decision.
"We are not putting down our guns, we are not giving up," Ziobro said. "Today we have a first decision, it is not a final decision, and we are going to demand the continuation of this process."
He told reporters that officials in that country are "convinced that the evidence collected during the investigation points to a high degree the probability of Edward Mazur committing the crime of arranging the murder the general of Poland's police."
In Chicago, the U.S. attorney's office said in a statement that "while we respect the magistrate judge's thoughtful opinion, we respectfully disagree with the result."
"Together with Justice Department lawyers in Washington we will carefully evaluate the court's 69-page opinion in considering possible options," said the statement.
Defense attorney Chris Gair said Mazur would have no immediate comment.
"You can see that he's very emotional, and I want him to be able to collect his thoughts," Gair said.
Mazur had emerged as a suspect in the Papala case during 2002 testimony in Poland that relied heavily on one witness. Artur Zirajewski, a gangster serving prison time in Poland in another case, described a meeting with Mazur two months before Papala was shot to death.
"There was conversation about the hit man -- no one asked about his particulars, only if he was good," Zirajewski testified then.
Mazur's lawyers accused Polish authorities of framing their client out of desperation, vindictiveness and a desire to smear the leftist opposition, to which Mazur has close ties.
Mazur, who moved to the U.S. in the 1960s and owns a medical equipment supply company, acquired much of his wealth during the chaotic, corruption-filled years after Poland shook off communist rule.

Monta Ellis scored 12 of his 29 points in the fourth quarter and Stephen Curry added 21 as the Golden State Warriors came from behind to claim a 110-103 road victory over the New Orleans Hornets on Wednesday.
Dorell Wright and David Lee added 13 points apiece and Louis Amundson grabbed 12 rebounds for the Warriors, who completed a 2-3 road trip.
The Hornets held a 58-47 lead at halftime and were still up by 10 points when the fourth quarter began. But Ellis scored eight straight points to begin the final frame and the Warriors began to take control.
Wright's 3-pointer with 6:48 left gave the Warriors their first lead at 90-89 and they kept pushing forward. Curry's 3-pointer with 4:13 to go made it 99-89 and capped a 27-7 run.
The Hornets came back within 101-99 with under two minutes left, but Ellis and Lee each hit a pair of free throws.
Chris Paul had 24 points and 13 assists for the Hornets, who had their three-game winning streak snapped.

IDON'T know what to say. I want to be able to explain the school shooting in logical terms. I want to be able to justify calls for teachers to be armed, for automatic weapons to remain available at my local sporting goods store. I feel it's my job to give you perspective, to at least attempt to provide context as to why seemingly intelligent folk say such unimaginable things. But frankly - I'm scratching my head, and fearing for the future of this once proud nation.
I will try though. When you start thinking America has gone mad lately, remember two words: Civil War. Only 150 years ago, Americans killed more than 700,000 other Americans. In America. Solving political and social issues with violence is a long-standing tradition here - for good or unspeakable evil.
In some ways, this country has made remarkable strides in a relatively short time. But one thing hasn't changed - a searing distrust for government. It's the biggest cultural difference between here and Australia. Aussies still think politicians are there to do your bidding. Many Americans think they're there to get rich, exploit us and screw everything up.
The suspicion and loathing of federal government, coupled with a rich history of brutal gun violence, can, I think, partly explain why so many Americans do not want to ban assault weapons. It can also partly explain why anyone with the ability to read and write can suggest more guns will solve the gun violence problem. They cite Korean convenience store owners in LA fighting for their life, and ignore the children who shoot each other accidentally with daddy's gun.
Banning automatic weapons is a rational response to a tragedy, and must happen, but it's not a solution to America's bigger problem - our culture. Other Western nations don't shoot each other as often as Americans do. Why does it seem to be acceptable to deal with an emotional/domestic issue, a mental illness, or a workplace dispute with a loaded gun here, but not in London, Paris or Canberra?
How do you attempt to change a public perception when you have such an organised, well funded, and vocal minority who proudly hail the important role guns play in our community, and expertly tap into deep-seated fear and paranoia.
There's no quick solution to a cultural problem. It takes education, understanding, and bold action, and it's got to be sustained for at least a generation.
As I sit here in the United States in late 2012, I see absolutely no chance of any of that happening. Last week's violence was unspeakable and devastating, and must stop. But we both know it won't.

Stocks to Sell #3: Tesla Motors (TSLA)
Click to Enlarge If history has taught us anything, it's that valuations don't matter with Tesla Motors (TSLA). The stock essentially discounts the prospects for a game-changing technology, which means the range of outcomes is so large that current metrics don't really matter for near-term performance.
Whether the bulls or bears are ultimately right on TSLA stock, the bottom line is that a large portion of its day-to-day movements are dependent on broader investor sentiment.
In the short term, that might be a good thing since the March-April period has been one of the best times of the year to own stocks throughout history. At the same time, however, February has brought substantial gains not just for Tesla (which now stands about $120 above its autumn low), but also other momentum stocks such as Facebook (FB), Netflix (NFLX) and Priceline.com (PCLN), not to mention solar stocks, 3-D printing stocks, and so on.
The fact that all of these stocks have moved higher as a group should give pause to an investor who owns any of the individual names.
The table below shows the distance of the momentum favorites from their 200-day moving averages as of the close on Tuesday, Feb. 25. Experienced investors know that "too far, too fast" isn't a valid reason to sell. However, these are sizable numbers that indicate a risk-reward profile that's less favorable than it was just a few weeks ago.
Let these stocks run as far as they can, but be ready to hit the sell button as soon as the tide turns. With such strong returns in the books, it just doesn't make sense to get greedy.

Program to award three grants for designers, scientists and educators
WASHINGTON, D.C.—The American Society of Interior Designers (ASID) Foundation announces the second annual Interior Design Research Grant Program, "Transform," which focuses on applied research in interior design and human behavior. The program will award up to three grants of up to $35,000 each. Research proposals from interior designers, scientists and educators on how interior design impacts human behavior and well-being are being accepted through Oct. 3, 2011.
"The Foundation's research grant program enables the profession to build a base of knowledge about how interior design impacts human behavior and well-being," says Judy Pickett, FASID, ASID Foundation Chair. "With this new and updated evidence-based research, designers are given relevant information that they are able to use with all clients in all areas of design. Nothing gets more powerful than that."
Research proposals should demonstrate practical applications for both interior designers and their clients. The ideal length of a project is one to two years, and the grant can be used as the startup funds of a larger project. The grant program is open to design professionals, clients, scientists and educators, as well as interdisciplinary collaborations.
In the program's inaugural year, the ASID Foundation awarded $100,000 to the Materials Research Collaborative, a two-year project of the Healthy Building Network (HBN). The Materials Research Collaborative operates to allow the interior design community to more proactively participate in reducing the use of building products that are hazardous to human health while stimulating market demand for healthier building products. (Read our previous coverage of the Materials Research Collaborative here.)
This project will provide interior designers with an improved level of independently verified information that can be applied to avoid using these materials. This information will be presented for use via the Pharos online database and analysis system, a project of HBN that has established itself as the industry leader in transparent access to chemical and material properties of building products.

Aphex Twin in SNL 'Iran So Far' rap with Andy Samberg and Adam Levine
TDS Editors
If NBC didn't clear that with Chrysalis Music, they're gonna have some explaining to do.
UPDATE: A Saturday Night Live source confirms that the sample is indeed Aphex Twin. Clearances are currently in process.
UPDATE: Chrysalis Music, Aphex Twin's publisher, confirmed that NBC was not required to get clearance for Saturday's broadcast, and until they intend to air the show again, copyright law allows for "ephemeral use."
UPDATE: New York Post gets in on the story:
It seems NBC never secured the digital rights to the background music used during the video and therefore couldn't up load the piece onto its YouTube channel or post it on its own Website.
In fact, the NBC legal team didn't even know it had a problem until after it sent the short along to YouTube – forcing it to hastily pull it down, according to published reports.
A satirical love song to Iran President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, "I Ran So Far" uses a brief music loop, or sample, of the 2001 Aphex Twin song "Avril 14th." Aphex Twin, whose real name is Richard D. James, is a pioneer in spacey ambient and drum-and-bass music.
James also samples music himself.
NBC's digital rights snafu is particularly delicious because it comes after the network and other major television conglomerates bitterly fought YouTube over controlling video content. NBC was protecting its rights but now must follow the rules to protect itself from being sued by James.
Not having the video on its site likely cost the network tens of thousands of hits.
While NBC's very own legal department has stopped the "I Ran So Far" upload, it hasn't prevented independent YouTube users from recording and uploading the skit. It is still readily available on YouTube and one of the hottest views on the site.
UPDATE: Andy Samberg confirms for Stereogum what we reported two weeks ago:
To answer your question the piano loop in the beat we made is a direct sample from Aphex Twin's "Avril 14th", we are fans of his and love that song in particular.
Since SNL is a live show we're allowed to use anything for one-time airing and only require permission for all other airings. Since it all comes together so quickly we will often air something and then suss out clearances in the weeks following (this was the case with a short we made that used an Imogen Heap song, which she later
cleared ). The NBC lawyers are currently trying to make a deal with Aphex Twin's people about clearing it for future use, so hopefully they'll come to an agreement.

In the upcoming Fall 2011 issue of Multnomah magazine due to hit mailboxes as early as 12/10 we had students write a special series of articles about student life through the decades. The first two of these articles focus on the 1940's and1960's. They also found great photos from the archives - there were far too many to put in the Magazine, so we decided to post this special gallery here.
If you would like to subscribe to the Magazine, just drop us a line at email@example.com or call us at 503.251.6452
The Photos
Starting with photos from as early as we could find, this set goes as far as the 1980's...we'll add more photos to this gallery over time and re-announce them with our Spring 2012 issue.
Send Us Photos
If you have any great shots you'd like to share, post them to our wall on Facebook or simply tag Multnomah University on them. You could always mail some to us as well.

Village of Saukville voters will head to the Feith Family Ozaukee YMCA on Northwoods Road for the Tuesday, Nov. 6, presidential election.The venue was first used by the village during the 2008 presidential vote. The switch was made because the larger facility can more easily handle the crowds than the American Legion hall, which is used for all other elections."The Y offered to partner with us for the last presidential election and it worked out well," Deputy Village Clerk Mary Kay Baumann said."We were expecting big crowds for that vote, but they never really came thanks to all the absentee ballots we handled."Village officials noted that large turnouts for past presidential elections would sometimes mean people had to stand in line outside for extended periods of time. Bottlenecks at the hall during the 2004 presidential election meant there were voters waiting in line until 10:30 p.m. to cast their ballots, even though polls close at 8 p.m.Parking was at such a premium at the Legion Hall that there were times when voters had to park on the shoulder of Highway 33.Use of the YMCA building eliminates those kinds of problems.Baumann said the north parking lot will be reserved for voters on Tuesday. Public-works employees will post signs directing voters to the reserved parking area.Voting booths will be set up in the gym.The YMCA has cancelled Monday night activities so the polling booths can be erected. The gym will be closed to Y members on election day.The YMCA is also providing volunteers to help voters unfamiliar with the building find the polling place.Baumann, who has helped with village elections for a decade, said the YMCA had no problem accommodating the crowds during the last election.As in 2008, Baumann said many village voters are choosing to avoid lines at the polls by casting absentee ballots. She said she has been processing about 50 absentee votes a day, and expects the final tally by Friday's deadline will be close to the 660 that were cast during the last presidential election.Many voters are happy to get their ballots completed early, but Baumann noted that process is no magic cure for people who are fed up with how intrusive the elections have become."One man said, 'Here's my ballot. Can you now stop all of those phone calls from coming to my house?' I told him I wish I could," Baumann said.She said most village residents are respectful of people's electoral rights, even in a hotly contested election."For me, even though I may have my own opinion, I have to put those aside on election day. The election is not about politics, it is about the process … making sure all of the laws are followed. And even though it is going to be a very long day, I make a point of always trying to stay positive."Another challenge the presidential election poses is the influx of unregistered voters. During the last presidential election, 300 voters registered at the polls."I wouldn't say dread is the best word to describe how I feel about the election, but will I be sorry to see it over? No," she said.The YMCA is at 465 Northwoods Rd.All voting in the Town of Saukville will be done at Town Hall, 3762 Lakeland Rd.
Both polling places will be open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m.

This story appeared in the October issue.
Just after his daughter Nayeli was born, David Wise started a season that would take him from relative obscurity to established pro. The Reno, Nevada, native became the first father to win Ski SuperPipe gold at Winter X. Then, Wise, 22, went on a roll, winning men's halfpipe at the Snowbasin stop of the Winter Dew Tour and the U.S. Grand Prix at Mammoth, and finishing third at European Winter X in Tignes, France. Wise's U.S. Freeskiing Halfpipe Coach Andy Woods saw his rise coming. "It was a bit of a pleasant surprise that he figured it out so quickly and suddenly, but the talent was always there," says Woods of the skier who, in 2008, was the first to throw a double cork 1260 in the pipe. "He was one of the big reasons I took this job."
Going into X Games the thing that changed the most was that I stopped worrying if I was going to do well or not. Whether I can eat or not, or the heat is on in the house or not, depends on whether I finish well in contests.
I never thought in a million years that I'd be the guy that got married so young. There's just a moment when you realize that the person you're with is the right person for you, and it's never going to get any better, so there's nothing else to do.
It's important to me to remain true to who you are. I'm doing the best to be the same person. People pay more attention to you when you have an X Games gold than they would if you were just another member of the pack of skiers.
It's just beer-league softball. I like pitching the most because it's the most intense position. It's the best mental training for me. You can be losing by 40 runs but you still have to hit the strike zone.
[Fatherhood's] hard. It's extra work. It's easy when you're on the road to get caught up in what you're doing. I have to focus on whether I'm spending enough time talking to my wife and helping out when I'm around. Three weeks at home out of a six-month block is pretty intense, but it's not impossible, either.
I'm careful when I talk about [Christianity]. I've had people say strange things to me. Like if I do well I try to tell them not to worry about things, and I've had people say, 'Oh, well that's too bad I don't have God on my side.' So I'm careful about that, but yeah, my faith plays a huge part on my skiing and my life.
I was afraid of babies my whole life. So the first diaper I ever changed was Nayeli's. You think it's going to be weird and gross, but you just do it. It doesn't bother you because that's your kid, and there's something kind of cool about that.
I used to think I was a total anomaly because the ski industry is kind of infiltrated with people—we go out, we're in the limelight, we get to do what we love—and then you go and party.
I don't think there are as few Christians in this sport as you might think. That's been kind of cool getting to know people like Kelly Clark, who's a snowboarding phenom as a Christian and is very outspoken about it. And Jossi Wells and Andreas [Hatveit]. There's a pretty solid group who are Christians and have their faith play into who they are as people.
There's nothing unique about people who go out and party every weekend. It's almost more rebellious to be a person of faith in this world than to be the opposite. It's important if you're going to be a person of faith to make sure that it's your own thing.
I hit 15 or 16 and I had a stage in my life where I read everything and really got into things. You can think about facts or argue faiths all you want, but there's a time that God speaks to you and you hear it. Since I had that moment, I've never really looked back or doubted my faith, ever.
The only thing you have control over is what you are doing in the moment. I wrote on my jacket, 'embrace the opportunity.'
