Rep. Gilda Cobb-Hunter wants YOU at the SC State House!
Revolutionize at home!
Stand up Jan. 21!
Message to enraged and newly engaged Network members
Like the rest of the world, the SC Progressive Network is coming to grips with the new social and political reality since the election. We've mourned. We've raged. Now we're moving to the next stage: organizing like our lives depended on it. We are glad that you've joined us.
Progressives must work collaboratively and strategically to map a way forward – together. These perilous times offer an opportunity to grow the revolution of social values the Network has been working toward for 20 years. It is going to take discipline, hard work, and a lot of help. We need your time, your talent, your energy, your ideas, and your financial support. (Become a member by clicking here. Already a member but want to make a donation? Click here.)
We have an influx of new members to the Network, and a renewed interest from organizations who are in the process of re-joining or becoming members for the first time. Interest on social media also has spiked. (If you haven't already, join us on Twitter and Facebook. You can also view video clips of Network events and rallies on our YouTube channel.)
Columbia's November meeting attracted some 140 people, so many that we had to change our meeting space. We may have to do the same in December; check the calendar when we send it next week for the meeting location.
To accommodate our growth spurt, and to find ways to engage our new members, we are expanding our meeting schedule so that those who can't make a regular monthly meeting can pick a different day and time and get together for a breakfast or lunch meeting, or for an after-work or Sunday afternoon social. We will solicit comments from our members and implement our broader calendar in January.
We are in the beginning stages of organizing an event for SC folks who are not going to Washington to protest the inauguration. We'll be talking about it at our next chapter meetings. Ideas welcome. We may model it after the InHogural ball we held to celebrate Gov. Nikki Haley's taking the helm in 2011.
To newcomers, we welcome you with gratitude and great hope for building a broader and more united force to resist the rising tide of oppression and fascism. Please feel free to call or email our office with your questions or suggestions, or to get assigned a task. Meanwhile, please visit our web site to see the projects we're working on and ways you can get involved.
We wish you all peace during the the coming holidays. If you're in Columbia, please join us for our annual celebration of Modjeska Monteith Simkins' birthday on Dec. 5 at her home, 2025 Marion St. The casual drop-in between 5:30-7pm is open to all.
The November Network meeting in Columbia attracted such a large crowd we had to move to a larger space. More pics here.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is no sitting-down time!"
Memo to SC Progressive Network members, friends and allies:
Take a deep breath, step back, and let's view Trump's election as the last gasp of an obsolete system built on white supremacy, lies, and fear. Don't get me wrong; this last gasp may take a while and be quite messy, but we never thought the revolution of social values would be easy.
The Network's 20-year-old movement building strategy and "pre-party" organizing analysis is sound and substantiated by this election. The mechanisms of our democracy have been corrupted by money and corporate personhood. We are not yet strong enough to vote ourselves into the promised land.
The contradictions of millions of US citizens living in third world conditions will become more pronounced. It will become more apparent that "less government" and "lower taxes" means working people can't get a decent education, health care, paved roads or other benefits enjoyed in civilized countries. Trump's victory is going to make it easier to organize the shift from a thing oriented society to a people oriented society necessary for our survival as a democratic nation.
Too many in the white working class have been led to believe that poor people, minorities and immigrants have caused their problems. Now that their Republican champions hold all the power, they will soon find themselves in the same sorry state and perhaps understand who their real enemies are, as well as their real allies.
On Election Day, we spent 14 hours taking 921 calls from SC voters across the sate who called 866-OUR-VOTE with problems. That's more than one call every minute. It will take us a while to analyze the calls, determine what problems were systemic or localized, and work to remedy the problems. One type of problem that stood out seemed to be rogue action on the part of poll workers, not election commission employees. The recurring problem of long lines caused by voting machines glitching or not working was anticipated. We've been working to get new machines since we bought the ones we've been using in 2004 and feel that we have turned the corner in convincing the legislature that our next voting machines should be publicly owned, low tech, and produce a voter verifiable paper ballot.
It is important to note that South Carolina's voting system works relatively well. In most states, voting is run by a partisan, elected secretary of state. Here, we have an independent State Election Commission. Our 20 years of working with the state and county election boards has shown us that our voting is run reasonably well.
Our problems and our lack of democracy are a result of our state legislature. The majority Republican Party has, over the past 23 years, drawn political district maps to insure they remain the majority party. 78% of voters in SC had only one major party candidate to vote for Tuesday. Most of our legislators are chosen in the primary by fewer than 12% of the voting age population they represent. This is not what democracy looks like.
Across the nation people are pondering what to do in the face of this civic disaster. The Network will keep doing what it has been doing for 20 years. It's a long, hard job – and we need your help.
What Modjeska Simkins said during the darkest days of the civil rights movement is important to repeat now that there's little hope of salvation at the ballot box, "Ladies and gentlemen, this is no sitting down time."
Yours for democracy,
Brett Bursey, SC Progressive Network Director

Keeping Simkins' fighting spirit alive, graduates of Modjeska School talk about lessons learned
At the SC Progressive Network's 20th annual fall conference, Robert Burgess and Daniel Deweese talked about the Modjeska School and their commitment to building a strong social movement in the Palmetto State sustained by a community of organizers in it for the long haul. Burgess and Deweese are core members of the New Legacy Project, an emerging organization for younger activists.
Tracking racial profiling and the militarization of cop shops in SC – and how YOU can help!
In 2000, the Network released a study on the racial disparities in our criminal justice system that found SC arresting nearly 10% of black citizens every year, a rate unequaled in the world. In 2001, as a tool to identify and mitigate the racial profiling that drives arrest rates, we wrote and introduced legislation to require all cops to report data on all stops. It wasn't until 2006, when the legislature's Republican majority needed Black Caucus votes to over ride Gov. Sanford's veto of a mandatory seat belt bill (necessary to continue receiving federal highway funds), that our racial profiling bill was passed.
We later learned that our bill was watered down by a conference committee of five white legislators to require only warning tickets be reported.
Kyle Criminger (left) and Rep. Joe Neal lead discussion on racial profiling project at the Network's fall retreat. See video below.
Our racial profiling project has made inroads with state and local law enforcement agencies about how they will benefit from the improved race relations that will come from a transparent public data base of all stops. Our plan for the coming legislative session is to get the cops to be the ones calling for strengthening the reporting requirements.
As part of our ongoing effort to research and reduce racial bias, we have expanded our work to include the factors that contribute to the militarization of our police. We want to lead a public and political dialogue about whether our local police are warriors or guardians.
Network Cochair Kyle Criminger updated members on the racial profiling project at the group's fall retreat. Based on a review of racial disparities in arrest rates and a new law requiring cops to report the race of those stopped for traffic warnings, our study reveals that most police agencies in South Carolina are breaking the law by not reporting. The most recent report on the Department of Public Safety's web site reveals that most of the state's police agencies are not in compliance.
The Network is circulating this study to stimulate public dialogue about racial profiling and to encourage police agencies to advocate for a database that records all stops to allow for increased transparency.

Sen. Clementa Pinckney fought for publicly financed elections. It's still a good idea.
Sen. Clementa Pinckney addresses the media at a SC Progressive Network press conference at the State House in 2001. He was the lead sponsor of the clean elections bill, first filed in 2000, to reduce the influence of money in South Carolina elections. A study done for the Network in 2001 by the University of South Carolina found that a majority of citizens – Republicans, Democrats and Independents – support clean elections. It concluded that: "More than 60 percent of those surveyed believe that the cost of elections keeps many qualified people from running for public office, a majority believes that the state should have a system of public financing, and almost 60 percent would support a system of public financing if it would cost the average citizen about $3.50 a year."

Posted 03/25/2014 at 3:35 PM
Posted 3 years ago
Google has announced some big price cuts for their cloud services.
They've also shuffled their pricing chart to simplify things.
Compute Engine will see a 32% price drop and app engine pricing will be down 30%, whicle cloud storage is dropping by 68%.
Google's big data analysis database BigQuery will see the largest drop — a full 85%.
Cloud Platform Greg DeMichillie told Techcrunch "the industry has somehow moved away from the original dream of the cloud over the last few years. Provisioning servers in the cloud was supposed to be simple and cheaper than doing it yourself. But setting up a cloud server now often involves plenty of work, and cloud pricing hasn't exactly followed Moore's law."

Chinese stocks are in a freefall and analysts are predicting even more dips.
While people continue to criticise the services offered by public sector banks, it is the foreign and private players who seem to be attracting the most complaints
According to the 2008-2009 report published under the RBI's Banking Ombudsman Scheme, the number of complaints received per 1,000 accounts is the highest among foreign banks and banks in the private sector, with banks in the public sector having comparatively fewer complaints.
The study, included in the annex of the RBI annual report, reveals the total number of complaints received under the Banking Ombudsman (BO) Scheme, started in 2006, along with break-ups showing the number of complaints against individual banks, number of complaints per 1,000 accounts (non-credit card related) and number of credit/debit card related complaints per 1,000 credit/debit card accounts.
In our analysis of the report, which is available on the RBI website, we have focused mainly on the number of complaints per 1,000 account holders, as opposed to the total number of complaints. This is because banks with larger numbers of customers will face a larger number of complaints, and looking at the number of complaints per 1,000 accounts is the only way to put all banks on an equal footing. We have also disregarded outliers who have only a few accounts.
The results show that foreign banks have the highest complaints followed by private sector banks; public sector banks have the least number of complaints—which is surprising and contrary to general perception.
This lends credence to the charge of a banker, who does not want to be named, who said that foreign and private sector banks have savvier customers who are more aware of their rights and more likely to lodge formal complaints.
Hence, we decided to focus more on comparisons within this group.The report shows that among foreign banks, Barclays Bank and ABN AMRO were the most complained about with 1.31 and 1.02 complaints per 1,000 accounts.
The other big foreign banks also showed large, though relatively lesser complaints, with HSBC having 0.35, Citibank having 0.34 and Standard Chartered Bank showing 0.34 complaints per 1,000 accounts.
In terms of credit and debit card related complaints, Barclays again topped the charts with 1.59 complaints per 1,000 card holders. Coming in at a distant second with 0.65 complaints per 1,000 was again ABN AMRO. HSBC and Standard Chartered followed with 0.57 and 0.44 respectively. Citibank had 0.23 complaints per 1,000 card holders.
HSBC had the highest number of complaints overall with 2,838 followed by Citibank with 2,563. As noted earlier, this is primarily because they are much larger than their competitors, and the total figure should not be viewed as an indicator of performance.
Private sector banks also had high levels of complaints with Kotak Mahindra Bank having 0.71 complaints per 1,000 account holders. Among the larger banks, another surprise was that HDFC Bank had 0.43 complaints per 1,000 accounts, which was significantly higher than ICICI Bank which had 0.28 complaints. This is again contrary to perception. A pleasant exception to the trend was Axis Bank which had only 0.17 complaints per 1,000 account holders. ICICI Bank had the highest number of total complaints with 11,453.
When looking at credit and debit card related complaints, the trend was more uniform with ICICI Bank having 0.17 complaints per 1,000 card accounts and HDFC Bank and Kotak Mahindra receiving 0.13 and 0.12 complaints per 1,000 card accounts respectively. Axis Bank again had the fewest complaints with only 0.04 complaints received per 1,000 credit or debit card holders.
Public sector banks showed the most surprising results, considering the common perception of nationalised banks offering poor facilities and service.
State Bank of India (SBI), India's largest bank, had received 0.13 complaints per 1,000 accounts and 0.09 credit or debit card related complaints for 1,000 credit/debit card accounts.
Bank of Baroda had 0.06, Bank of India had 0.04, Canara Bank had 0.05, Central Bank of India had 0.06, Punjab National Bank had 0.07 and Union Bank of India had 0.06 complaints per 1,000 accounts.
The figures for credit and debit card related complaints for the above entities were 0.05, 0.03, 0.03, 0.06, 0.03 and 0.04 complaints per 1,000 card accounts respectively.
The numbers show that whether it is because of poor service or more aware customers, foreign and private sector banks have some issues they need to address.
Players from various sectors are looking at entering the power segment, expecting huge returns from an electricity-starved economy
Since 2009, the power sector has seen the entry of players from diverse sectors ranging from auto-makers to real-estate players. Experts say that expected high returns are the key driver for this growing interest. However, coal issues, lack of managerial expertise and merchant power tariffs are key risks to watch out for.
Among the recent major announcements of forays into the power sector were by Shree Cement Ltd, Emami Ltd, Sundaram Clayton Ltd, Madhucon Projects Ltd (MPL), Era Infra Engineering Ltd, SKIL Infrastructure, Adhunik Metaliks, Singareni Collieries Company Ltd and the latest is by the Hiranandani Group.
"One of the main reasons to get into the power sector is that some of these companies saw a major downturn in the segment they were operating, for example real estate. Infrastructure projects, though capital intensive, provide a steady cash flow after the construction phase," said Chaula Desai, associate director, Ernst &Young. She has been advising a couple of companies in their power-venture plans.
Ms Desai also pointed out that power portfolios have helped in attracting more investor interest. "Some of the companies or groups that have had power in their portfolios and who have listed these entities have done pretty well. This has been the driving force," she added.
Apart from the high returns of a minimum of 18% that they are looking at, such ventures also allow players from diverse sectors to sell their projects or licenses at higher valuations later.
Last year, transformer maker Emco Ltd sold its subsidiary, Emco Energy Ltd, to the GMR Group. Emco was in the process of developing a 600-MW power project.
"They can get a return of around 20% to 30% on the cost, which is a good one," said Amit Srivastava, research analyst, Karvy Stock Broking Ltd.
"Even if they are selling it (the project) at a later stage, they are getting good attractive valuations if the project is ready. However, there could be huge gains if they consolidate and list a larger capacity (power company)," said Ms Desai.
Venturing into the power sector is a natural expansion plan for companies like Era Infra and SKIL Infrastructure, who belong to the infrastructure segment. It also makes sense in terms of backward or forward integration for companies like Singareni Collieries Company Ltd (SCCL) and Adhunik Metaliks who are in the mining business. However, the power sector is completely new terrain for auto, real estate and FMCG companies like Emami, Hiranandani Group and Sundaram Clayton.
What would be important from an investor's perspective? "If we were to analyse this from an investor's perspective, we may not go for the new players due to their lack of expertise. Issues like whether they would be able to execute the project or if they will eventually sell the license to another player are also factors to be taken into consideration. Coal supply is another risk involved. Coal imports may not solve the issue as India lacks the port capacity required to manage its coal requirements," said Mr Srivastava.
"Building a team to execute these projects would be the key challenge. The other option is to outsource through turnkey projects," said Ms Desai. However, in terms of turnkey projects, the margins are impacted by 15% to 20%, which makes a huge difference to the bottom-line.
Further, the periodic fall and rise in merchant power tariffs is also a concern these companies may face. A number of them plan to sell the power generated in the open market, including companies like Shree Cement and SCCL.
"Long-term fluctuation in the merchant power segment is a risk that these players will be facing. However, they are content with the fact that even if the tariffs were to fall, the returns would still be decent at 15% to 18%," said Mr Srivastava. However, Ms Desai shares a positive outlook on the merchant power risk. "The merchant power market is here to stay. They are looking at margins of 30% to 35% (in certain cases), which is quite attractive for these companies," said Ms Desai.

Nationwide Recall Of Products That Contain Cantaloupe Simply Fresh Fruit of Los Angeles, California has announced a nationwide recall of select fresh cut fruit products that contain cantaloupe that may be have been contaminated with salmonella. The week, Simply Fresh was requested by its supplier, Tropifresh, Inc. to recall products produced with cantaloupe from Agropecuaria Montelibano. Simply Fresh began to recover this product earlier, on March 24, based on a notice published by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
Recalled products include: Simply Fresh Fruit Brand food service Fruit Mix in Syrup products dated "sell by 4 – 18 08" or earlier, food service Cantaloupe Chunks in Syrup products dated "sell by 4 – 08 8" or earlier, and retail and club store Simply Fresh, Fresh Cut Fruit Brand containing cantaloupe dated "sell by 3 – 29 8"or earlier. The retail and club store products involved were removed from sale prior to March 24. Also, foodservice distributors who sell their own brand, have been notified, and are recalling all involved products. Foodservice products are packed in plastic pails or jars, and retail products are packed in plastic trays. Food Service establishments who have any of the products involved in the recall should contact their supplier for disposition instructions. Consumers with questions may contact Simply Fresh Fruit at (323) 586-0000.
Pennsylvania Has Also Recalled Cantaloupe
Meanwhile, T.M. Kovacevich International, Inc. of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania has also recalled cantaloupe due to a possible health risk. Kvacevich is recalling cantaloupes it purchased from Agropecuaria Montelibano because the FDA determined that the cantaloupe this company has distributed has the potential to be contaminated with salmonella bacteria. The recalled fruit was distributed to wholesalers and processors in Georgia, Florida, Massachusetts, and New Jersey and may have possibly reached consumers through grocery stores, restaurants, or other similar channels. Whole cantaloupe fruits subject to this recall carry a "Mike's Melons" sticker or may not be labeled because this descriptive sticker may have fallen off. The whole cantaloupe fruits subject to this recall were sold in boxes marked with the following textual information: "Cantaloupe, Mike's Melons, Produce of Honduras, Grown, Packed and Shipped by Agropecuaria Montelibano, San Lorenzo, Valle, Honduras."
Consumers who have recently bought whole cantaloupes from this specific grower and packer should destroy these products immediately. Consumers with questions may contact George Manos of T.M. Kovacevich International, Inc. at (215) 336-3160.
Salmonella is an organism which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail, or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Healthy people develop diarrhea, fever, and abdominal cramps within 12 to 72 hours of infection. Laboratory testing is required to determine the presence of Salmonella; additional testing can determine the specific type and which antibiotics are needed. Generally, the illness lasts a week and most recover without treatment. In some, hospitalization is required because the infection may have spread from the intestines to the blood stream and other body sites. Severe cases can result in arterial infections (i.e., infected aneurysms), endocarditis, and arthritis and can result in death if not treated.

5 Tips for Organizing an Alcoholic Intervention
When someone you love has an alcohol problem, it can seem overwhelming to try to help them or convince them to enter treatment. You don't want to push them away or make the problem worse by confronting them, but you can't go on watching them in their self-destruction.
The only option is to organize an alcoholic intervention with a group of people that want them to get help as much as you do. How you set up an intervention that will be successful in getting them to go to rehab? There are plenty of resources available that can help you create the best possible intervention.
You can educate yourself by researching the topic or employ intervention services to help you in you organize and facilitate the whole discussion. Here are some tips for helping to set up a successful intervention.
1. Carefully Put Together a Group
An intervention can only be effective if the right people are there to communicate to their loved one about their alcohol problem. You need to choose with care when you select the people who are going to attend because they must be persuasive without being too aggressive and they must have a meaningful relationship with the alcoholic.
Do not invite anyone who does not have a good relationship with the addict because it could lead to conflict. Inviting acquaintances rather than close friends and family might make them feel unnecessary shame and embarrassment. The right family members and friends can help facilitate a successful intervention.
2. Find the Right Time to Open a Discussion
Timing can be very important when you are setting up an intervention. You will want to make sure the person is sober and is in a time in their life when they are more likely to listen. The must be completely sober, in control and able to focus on what everyone is saying. It can be a good idea to hold an intervention right after a drinking-related incident that strongly affected them such as getting a DUI or being arrested.
They might already be thinking about the consequences of their drinking behavior and want to avoid the same thing from happening again in the future. They will be in a better position to listen if you time the intervention in this way.
3. Use a Private Formal Location
While some people might hold interventions in the family home this may not be the best choice because the alcoholic will be able to retreat to their bedroom in they don't want to talk. It can be more effective to choose a formal space to meet such as a conference room or therapy office which is more neutral and the alcoholic will have no choice but to sit and listen. There will also be less tension since people are usually on their best behavior in this type of space.
4. Rehearse in Advance
If you are worried about any factors being out of your control, it can be helpful to prepare and rehearse the process in advance before actually confronting the alcoholic. It will give you a better idea of what everyone in the group is planning to say. You can make adjustments if there seem to be any charged emotions that could impede the success of the intervention.
5. Develop a Backup Plan
Although you might have prepared and rehearsed the intervention, addicts can at times be unpredictable in their reactions. Come up with a backup plan for any scenario that might take place so that you can handle anything that might come up in the intervention. You need to be prepared for any situation so that you can still convince the addict to enter treatment no matter how they react initially.

E-mail PackerReport.com managing editor Todd Korth (email@example.com) with any questions you have for Sydney. He will address questions from Packers fans every Friday in his column.
Sydney coached the Packers' running backs from 1994 to 1999, then worked as a financial advisor in Green Bay before he and his wife, Madonna, began My Brother's Keeper in early November of 2003.
A fullback during his 10-year pro playing career, Sydney played on Super Bowl championship teams in 1988 and '89 during a five-year stay with the San Francisco 49ers. He also served as the 49ers' special teams captain.
Sydney played fullback under Mike Holmgren, then in his first season as head coach of the Packers, in 1992. He caught 49 passes for 384 yards and rushed for 163 yards in 51 carries. The Packers finished with a 9-7 record, their second best mark in a 20-year span.
Sydney played in the United States Football League for three years and the Canadian Football League for one season prior to joining the 49ers in 1987. A wishbone quarterback at the University of Kansas, he moved to running back prior to his junior season and earned all-Big Eight honors at the position.
Sydney was an all-state performer in both football and basketball at Seventy-First High School in Fayetteville, N.C.

The winds off the Atlantic Ocean blew cold and hard this morning, but they barely stirred the flowers carried in the open bed of a hearse crawling down Ocean Avenue. Thousands of police officers, standing five deep along the road, blocked the gusts in small tribute to a man murdered simply for wearing police blue.
Officers came from throughout the Eastern Seaboard to attend the funeral of Detective Sgt. Patrick A. King. But most came from the smaller communities of New Jersey, towns not unlike Long Branch: Neptune and Point Pleasant, Carteret and West Caldwell, Denville, Mantoloking, Moonachie. They came because they saw themselves in Sergeant King. They admired how he lived, but feared how he died.
Sergeant King, 45, the most decorated police officer in Long Branch, was executed with two gunshots to the back of the head Thursday night as he waited for his usual order of chow mein at a local Chinese restaurant. The man the police say was his killer, a career criminal named Deon Bailey, later shot himself near the George Washington Bridge after leading police officers on a car chase through a swath of New Jersey. Four days after the shooting, his motive for shooting a uniformed officer at random remained unclear.
The mourners sitting inside St. Michael's Roman Catholic Church here left it to others to ponder the stunted life of Mr. Bailey; they had lost one of their own, and they were struggling with emotions of loss and rage. Indeed, the priest who delivered the homily, the Rev. Charles Weiser, made it clear that the killer's name was not worth mentioning in the same breath as that of Patrick King -- the husband of Maureen, who is in remission from Hodgkin's disease, and the father of two boys, 12-year-old Patrick and 9-year-old Todd, whose wispy frames seemed too small for their solemn gray suits.
The priest told the two boys that as they grow older, they will more fully realize what happened -- ''A wacko killed your father'' -- and they will become angry. But he implored them to focus not on the message left by ''a worthless loser,'' but rather on the legacy left by their father.Continue reading the main story
Father Weiser did not mention Sergeant King's 21 years on the force, or the Medal of Valor the detective had earned for rescuing a drowning priest, or his local reputation as a hero. Instead, he repeated what he had often heard about the detective: ''He was a decent man.''
He also addressed the police officers in the audience, from the Long Branch officers sitting in the pews to the dozens -- the uniformed patrolmen, the plainclothes detectives, the bagpipers in kilts -- sitting on folding metal chairs in the basement, watching the Mass on a television monitor. Father Weiser told them that while their profession, like his, has taken some deserved knocks in recent years, it is a ''sacred and noble'' calling, for when they don their uniforms, they put their lives at stake, just as Patrick King had.
And so, for a morning, a region's police forces let everyone know that they were coming to Long Branch to take care of their own. They came in Hoboken Police Department cruisers, on New York Police Department motorcycles, and in the Elizabeth Police Department's mobile precinct trailer. Some sped south on the Garden State Parkway with their headlights flashing; others drove their own cars at 55 miles per hour, with nothing but their uniforms to distinguish them from the other drivers.
The loss of Sergeant King was particularly painful to those officers who knew him. ''I'd been on several raids with him, played softball with him,'' Officer Steven Monko of the Asbury Park police said. ''He shouldn't have had to die that way.''
But Sergeant King's murder also resonated with those who connected with him only because they too wear police uniforms. Four officers from Jersey City stopped a mile from the church to pay their respects in front of the Ming Ying restaurant, the murder site. They pointed at the flowers piled high along the sidewalk, and noticed how someone had spray-painted ''167'' -- Sergeant King's badge number -- on the restaurant's glass window. ''He was targeted just because he was wearing a uniform and doing his job,'' said Detective Kevin Guy, a 13-year veteran of the Jersey City police. ''That's why you see all these cops here. It could happen to any one of us.''
Detective Guy soon took his place alongside the others from his department, who stood alongside others from other departments, and so on down Ocean Avenue. They joked among themselves, bouncing on their feet to ward off the chill as snowflakes fluttered in the wind. The call to stand at attention sounded, and a street of thousands fell silent.
The hearse bearing flowers rode past, and then 62 police motorcycles. Officers in kilts played their drums to a slow, mournful beat. The funeral motorcade stopped in front of the church, and Sergeant King's family climbed out.
An usher gently asked the officer's mother, Katherine McDermott King, to sit in the first row; her lined face suggested that such a courtesy was beyond importance, and she continued into the church, leaning on the arm of a Long Branch police officer.
Then six young cadets from the New York Police Academy hoisted the flag-draped coffin onto their shoulders, and carried the body of a local hero into his church.Continue reading the main story

The American Society for Mechanical Engineers certifies welders to ensure skill and aptitude based on ASME regulated codes for structural or pipe welding. Certification affords welders more lucrative career opportunity with training and updated techniques for efficient practice. Following the code as a welding professional ensures welders are in compliance with safety regulations across the U.S. and Canada. Individual welder certification using ASME authorized practice is most commonly achieved through an academic program and test completion through an affiliated test location.
Review local vocational, technical or community colleges featuring Associate of Applied Science degree programs for industrial technology, fabrication or welding. Typical program offerings include a two-year degree program with detailed coursework in welding techniques for structural or pipe welding and include coursework and training that prepare you for the American Welding Society welding certification and ASME certification for pipe fitting and piping systems examinations.
Apply to your preferred academic program. Some schools may require placement testing in addition to a high school diploma or GED. Confirm admission requirements and ensure you meet the criteria for acceptance before applying to any program.
Take the designated welding coursework designed to prepare you for certification. Supplemental coursework will include welding fundamentals, including metal forming and fabrication, shop safety and tools using both hands-on and classroom instruction on industry recognized practices.
Enroll in a certification preparation course through your vocational school. This class may already be included in your welding technology program, but you should inquire with the school for confirmation. Taking the certification prep courses focused on the AWS and ASME certification examinations will familiarize you with the key skills you will need to demonstrate during your exam.
Take the ASME Section 9 Shielded Metal Arc Welding Pipe Certification or ASME Section 9 Gas Tungsten Arc Welding Pipe Certification examinations. As a part of your curriculum requirements, after completing the prep coursework, you can sit for the ASME certification exams. The certification exam is typically offered directly at the school or through an affiliated test location as a part of your graduation requirements. To find test facilities, contact the Certified Welding Technology Bureau: http://www.weldingcertified.com/certification.html or find test centers near you by visiting the American Welding Society website for test facilities: http://files.aws.org/certification/docs/auto/atf_listing_0119.pdf.

Development of a natural 3D display
Kengo Kikuta and Yasuhiro Takaki
High-density directional displays that project a large number of images combat visual fatigue.
4 May 2007, SPIE Newsroom. DOI: 10.1117/2.1200704.0659
We have developed a high-density directional (HDD) display technique
that solves the visual fatigue problem caused by the accommodation-vergence conflict in conventional 3D displays. Specifically, in most non-holographic 3D displays, the eye converges on an virtual object that is one distance away while focussing on a display that is at a different distance: this mismatch can be uncomfortable for the user.
In an HDD system a large number of images are displayed in different directions. These images are orthographic (close to non-converging) projections of an object, each taken from a different directions. When displayed in the appropriate directions with nearly parallel rays, the object is virtually reconstructed. In contrast, so-called multi-view (MV) displays use parallax images: perspective projections of an object observed from particular viewpoints (as opposed to view planes). When the number of ray directions in an HDD increases and the ray-angle pitch decreases, the divergence of rays decreases, thereby increasing the depth of field (DOF) of an imaging system. Observers can focus on 3D images displayed in the enhanced DOF range
where accommodation-vergence conflict does not occur. The technique also offers very smooth motion parallax.
As shown in Figure
, we have constructed several prototype HDD displays,
with 30 to 128 rays and a resolution from QVGA to SVGA. There are two types: projection and thin. In this article, we report the details of our most recently developed HDD projection display
with 128 ray directions and SVGA (800×600) resolution.
Figure 1.
Generations of prototype HDD displays.
illustrates the way a projection-type system works. It consists of an array of 2D displays, an array of lenses, an array of apertures, a common lens, and a vertical diffuser. A number of afocal imaging systems are multiplexed. One of these consists of a liquid-crystal display (LCD) panel, a lens, an aperture, a common lens, and a vertical diffuser. Note that all afocal imaging systems have different horizontal positions. Each directional image is displayed on an LCD panel and imaged onto the vertical diffuser. The existence of the apertures limits the ray propagation directions so that all images are displayed with rays that are nearly parallel.
Figure 2.
This 3D display uses multiple afocal imaging systems aligned in a modified 2D array.
Because each optical system has a different horizontal position, each directional image is displayed in a different horizontal direction. However, the difference in the vertical display direction, due to the imaging system's vertical position, is canceled by the vertical diffuser. The modified 2D arrangement enables a large number of imaging systems to be contained in a compact space. Use of the afocal imaging systems also enables the generation of 3D images with small defocusing even when those images are displayed separately from the display screen (the vertical diffuser).
The 128-directional SVGA display consists of 128 SVGA liquid-crystal-on-silicon (LCOS) devices with field-sequential (time-multiplexed) color. A red, green, and blue light-emitting diode (RGB LED) is used as a light source. All 128 projectors are aligned in the modified 2D arrangement described above, and the images are displayed in different horizontal directions with a horizontal angle pitch of 0.28°. The horizontal viewing angle is 35.7°, and screen size is 12.8 inches. The display is controlled by a cluster of 16 personal computers. In order to correct distortion caused by optical aberration, the images displayed on the LCOS devices are pre-distorted using correction tables. Figure
shows photographs of 3D images produced using this 3D display.
Figure 3.
Photographs of 3D images generated by the 128-directional SVGA display.
We have already measured the accommodation responses of users to the HDD displays and found that the accommodation function worked correctly in the enhanced DOF range. The newly developed SVGA display will be used to investigate the influence of the resolution of 3D images on human 3D perception.

Shaked has promised the donation if the Palestine Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh sits down with his Israeli counterpart Ehud Olmert to begin peace negotiations. The online billionaire has also pledged another $900 million should the talks result in an agreement to bring a lasting peace to the region.
Shaked, co-founder and major shareholder of online casino group 888, wants the money to bring the Palestinian economy up to Israeli standards which he believes would put the sides on a level footing, thus alleviating the poverty that helps fuel the conflict.
However, the online billionaire's offer has been met with some resistance from both sides. Although Palestine leader Haniyeh is currently on a tour of the Middle East to try to raise money for his government, he was reported to have rejected the offer on Tuesday.
Israel's government was more dismissive of the initiative, with an official claiming it was already committed to long-standing proposals such as the US-backed 'road map'.
'With all respect, this is not something you do with millionaire's money,' he said. 'This is a government that answers to an electorate.'
