AURORA, Colo. (CBS4) – An off-duty corrections officer could face felony charges after a crash on Saturday morning that sent a family to the hospital.
The crash happened just after 9 a.m. on on Smoky Hill Road near Riviera Way in Aurora.
Aurora police say Jason Ulrich, 38, drifted across the median in his car and hit a car with a couple and their 2-year-old daughter inside.
Police said Ulrich was going about 75 mph in a 45 mph zone.
The Denver Post identified the parents as Jonathan Price, 36, and Diane Price, 32.
Jonathan Price remained in the hospital with multiple broken bones late Saturday night. The other two family mebers were released from the hospital a few hours after the crash. Ulrich was also hospitalized.
Ulrich, who works for the Colorado Department of Corrections, reportedly told police he had been mixing alcohol with Vicodin before he got behind the wheel.
Police collected blood samples from Ulrich at the hospital. If Ulrich had alcohol and drugs in his system in the impaired range, he could be charged with vehicular assault
Lt. Chuck DeShazer, a spokesman for Aurora police, told CBS4 the situation is tragic.
"It's an embarrassment to the agency. It's an embarrassment to the profession. It's an embarrassment to me personally," DeShazer said.

ATLANTA, March 17 (UPI) -- The Georgia Supreme Court said Monday it would not order a new trial for convicted cop killer Troy Anthony Davis.
Davis was sentenced to death in Chatham County for the murder of Savannah Police Officer Mark Allen MacPhail, The Atlanta Journal Constitution reported.
Since his trial 17 years ago, seven prosecution witnesses have recanted their testimony, the newspaper reported.
Writing for the majority, Justice Harold Melton said the court could not "disregard the jury's verdict" in the case.
"We conclude that Davis has failed to show that these alleged recantations support his extraordinary motion for new trial," the ruling said.
Melton and Justices George Carley, Harris Hines and Hugh Thompson sided with prosecutors.
Dissenting were Chief Justice Leah Ward Sears and Justices Carol Hunstein and Robert Benham.
In a dissenting opinion, Sears said she would have granted Davis a hearing to allow a judge to weigh the new evidence.
"In this case, nearly every witness who identified Davis as the shooter at trail has now disclaimed his or her ability to do so reliably," Sears wrote.

Managers Can't Find Jobs, but Marketers Still Can
Unemployment, which reached a low of 6.1% during the first half of 2008, is once again on the rise.
Demand for workers in nearly all sectors fell in the third quarter of 2008. The hardest hit was the executive sector.
Jobs for managers dropped most sharply, by 25.5% compared to the same period in 2007, according to a survey of help-wanted ads in the local press that was conducted by Manpower Professional placement agency.
The demand for executives has fallen off 26% over the first three quarters of 2008 compared to the same period the year before.
The survey confirms a statement by the director of the state Employment Service, Joseph Farhi, that unemployment, which reached a low of 6.1% during the first half of 2008, is once again on the rise.
The market for human-resources personnel was the second slowest, down 19.9% in the third quarter of this year and down 42.6% for the period January-September, compared to the same months in 2007.
Marketing and sales personnel was the only group that showed increased demand in the third quarter compared to the third quarter of last year. But it was up by a minute 0.4%. Nevertheless, demand for this group has also fallen by 3.3% over the first nine months of the year compared to last year. ()

Daventry Town boss Darran Foster has called on his players to 'make a statement' that their play-off bid is alive and kicking when leaders Burnham come calling on Saturday.
Town's top-five bid suffered a setback on Tuesday night when they were held to a 1-1 draw at home by Thatcham.
The Daventry boss admits that result was 'disappointing and frustrating', and admits there is now no room for any error in the final 15 games of the season.
Daventry, who were impressive 4-1 winners at Chertsey last weekend, play many of their promotion rivals in the run-in, and Foster says they have to start 'beating the big boys' if they are to realise their promotion dream - starting with the visit to Communications Park of table-toppers Burnham on Saturday (ko 3pm).
"I think we have only lost to of our last 14 games in the league, but have drawn four or five we should have won which has hurt us, and every game is massive for us now," said Foster
"I know I keep saying it, but we can't afford to drop any more points.
"Everybody is taking points off each other at the top, but we really can't affford to drop any more and this is it for us now.
"We have Burnham on Saturday, we have Beaconsfield on Monday, we have to play Slough twice and Godalming, and they are five of our next six games.
"We want to get into the play-offs and realistically to do that we are going to have to start taking points off these big boys, and we have to start beating them.
"Our record is good against the top teams, and we have to do it again.
"Burnham are a strong side, and beating them would make a statement.
"We drew 2-2 at their place earlier in the season, and we can beat anybody in this league on our day, but we have to make sure we have our day for the next 15 games!"
Daventry will be without Ashley Robinson for Saturday's game as he is away, but they will be able to call on striker Scott Cross, despite his dismissal for his part in a second-half scuffle in the draw against Thatcham.
Cross's suspension will not kick in for three weeks.
Apart from Robinson's absence, Foster has a full squad to choose from.

: I need to know the meaning and origin of the phrase--not out of the woods yet.
DON'T SHOUT UNTIL YOU'RE OUT OF THE WOODS - "Don't feel safe until you are out of danger. The proverb originated in the United States and has been traced back to 'Papers of Benjamin Franklin' . It was used by Abigail Adams (1744-1818) in a letter dated November 13, 1800. First attested in England in 'Hereward the Wake' by Charles Kingsley (1819-75). The proverb is found in varying forms." From "Random House Dictionary of Popular Proverbs and Sayings" by Gregory Y. Titelman (Random House, New York, 1996).

NEW YORK -- Tennis players hailed the ruling Tuesday against Petr Korda that strengthened the sport's anti-doping program, although they took no pleasure in Korda's stiff punishment.
Korda, the 1998 Australian Open champion, lost an arbitration ruling in Lausanne, Switzerland and was ordered to forfeit all prize money since July 1998 -- $661,831 -- for testing positive for the steroid Nandrolone at Wimbledon last year.
The ruling by the Court of Arbitration for Sport ended a protracted legal battle between Korda and the International Tennis Federation.
The 31-year-old Czech also received a one-year ban, until Aug. 31, 2000, and lost computer ranking points accumulated since the 1998 Wimbledon. But that part of the punishment won't mean much to Korda, who retired in July after failing to gain wild-card entry into Wimbledon and losing in the qualifying round.
The CAS ruled there were no ''exceptional circumstances'' that would excuse Korda from suspension.
''The ITF and its partners in the joint anti-doping program -- the ATP Tour and the WTA Tour -- are pleased that the intent of the anti-doping program regulations has been upheld,'' Deborah Jevans, the ITF executive director of medicine, said.
''It is now clear that the burden of proof rests with the player to prove on the balance of probabilities how a banned substance came to be present in his body. This sets a clear precedent for the future.
''Players must demonstrate the circumstance in which the offense occurred if they wish to seek a reduction in the mandatory sanctions based on the relevant degree of intent, fault or negligence on their part.''
Mark Miles, head of the ATP Tour, said the case supported the tour's efforts ''to create the strongest anti-doping program possible.''
Todd Martin, president of the ATP Player Council, said the language of the rules has been ''very hazy,'' and that's going to be changed now that the Korda case is over.
''It's just a matter of upholding the integrity of the sport and the integrity of our program,'' Martin said. ''It's disappointing for Petr. That's no way to finish your career. Despite the fact that he somehow allowed the substance into his body, I think everybody should have a little compassion.''
Lindsay Davenport, a member of the WTA Tour board of directors, praised the ruling.
''If you test positive, you test positive,'' she said. ''He never came out and said why he thought it had gone into his system."
It was always kind of a really gray area.
''I think it should be one of the toughest things we have on the tour, the anti-doping. I don't think it's fair when people do that. You just can't say, 'I didn't take it,' and get off.''
Korda's case went to the CAS for a final ruling after the ITF won an appeal in a British court to seek a drug ban.
His failed drug test came after he lost in the Wimbledon quarterfinals to Tim Henman last year.
He avoided a mandatory one-year suspension when an independent appeals panel met in December and decided there were ''exceptional circumstances'' because he claimed he did not know he had taken, or been administered, the substance.
The panel found Korda had broken anti-drug rules. But instead of receiving a ban, Korda lost his prize money and ranking points from Wimbledon.
The lenient penalty angered players, and many threatened to boycott the Australian Open, where Korda was defending his title.
The ITF then appealed to the CAS in January, contending the panel had misapplied its rules.
Korda subsequently appealed to the High Court, which ruled the decision of the ITF's panel could not be appealed to the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
But that decision was overturned in March by the Court of Appeal in London, allowing the ITF to proceed. The CAS met to consider the case on July 29 in London.
Korda's case is one of several disputed drugs cases involved Nandrolone, which occurs naturally in the body and can be increased by certain foods.
Track and field was rocked before the recent world championships in Seville, Spain, when star Jamaican sprinter Merlene Ottey tested positive for the steroid.
Linford Christie, the 100-meter champion in the 1992 Olympics and now practically retired, tested positive for Nandrolone after an indoor meet this year at Dortmund, Germany.
Ottey and Christie contend they are innocent and plan to fight the accusations.

Increasingly, computing addresses collaboration, data sharing, and interaction modes that involve distributed resources, resulting in an increased focus on the interconnection of systems both within and across enterprises. These evolutionary pressures have led to the development of Grid technologies.The authors' work focuses on the nature of the services that respond to protocol messages. Grid provides an extensible set of services that can be aggregated in various ways to meet the needs of virtual organizations, which themselves can be defined in part by the services they operate and share.

We started our week in the Florida Keys by dining at Sunset Grille and Raw Bar located at the foot of Seven-Mile Bridge in Marathon. The fabulous Caribbean ambiance of the place is hard to put into words. The roof is an elaborate, thatched south-seas tiki affair. The entire property is out of doors... natural air conditioning at it's best.
My husband and I chose to share a bowl of she-crab soup. Many places attempt to make this popular soup, but not all are successful... Sunset Grille is. We could have made a meal out of this soup or taken a swim in it. I did dab a little behind ear for later... to lure my date into a little late night nibbling;)
While her hubby chose a huge platter of raw oysters, my sis had the Thai Peanut Shrimp Skewers. The peanut sauce had a little kick to it. I liked the fact that the sauce did not overpower the freshness of the grilled shrimp.
The only downside to the meal was that we were so full, we didn't have room for dessert... maybe next time!

Timex's latest entry in the Ironman line of GPS watches, the Ironman One GPS+, comes with a lot of features found in other smartwatches designed for athletes to track their activity, with one major addition — the watch comes with standalone 3G connectivity that allows you to track and upload your runs, assign contacts to monitor your run and broadcast your location — all without having to connect to a smartphone.
The watch also has a built-in email-based messaging app that allows your contacts to get in touch with you by sending messages to a special email address. The Ironman One GPS+ connects to AT&T's cell network, and comes with one year of free 3G connectivity. The technology itself that allows the watch to connect to cellular networks without the need to pair with a smartphone comes from Qualcomm.
Other features of the watch include a 1.5-inch Mirasol display that is similar to the one showcased on Qualcomm Toq, 4 GB storage for music, which can be transmitted to a Bluetooth headset, 8 hour battery life with GPS enabled (three days without) and water resistance for up to 150 feet.
Timex hasn't mentioned when the Ironman One GPS+ will be available, but if you're interested, you can pre-order the watch right now for $399. Timex isn't the only watchmaker looking to offer ruggedised watches with smart features, as Casio has announced that its latest offering in the G-Shock series will feature SoundHound integration.
Are you excited by what Timex's smartwatch has to offer?
Source: Timex
Not bad. The idea of going running without a phone has to be the right one, and the ability to bring my music. Mirasol is an excellent choice for visibility. Absurdly, Timex will only show the specs if I establish an account with them. I guess that's why you are vague on the specs too, huh? It comes with a heart monitoring chest strap, but all other specs are in the dark. I wanted to know if it's got interval training, and wether it could serve as a smart watch in terms of signalling received calls. Probably not. I'll just wait for the reviews then.
I've got a Polar watch, used frequently for 11 years now. I got for its programmable interval training. I noticed the display got foggy when I went swimming with it. Polar replaced the entire case for 70 dollars, and it's as good as new again. Fantastic service. Good for running and swimming.
@ GADGETY.... Found this on the page right before you go to pre-order:
"Additional performance features include customizable interval timers, audible and vibrating pace and heart rate alerts and notifications when you've achieved a personal record"
No word on whether it will act as a "companion" device and connect to your smartphone tho.

The Islamic Republic of Iran is situated in southwestern Asia on the Caspian and Arabian seas and the Persian Gulf. Area: 1,648,000 sq km (636,296 sq mi). Pop. (est., excluding about 1.4 million Afghan refugees and 600,000 Iraqi refugees): 62,231,000. Cap.: Tehran. Monetary unit: Iranian rial, with (Oct. 11, 1996) a fixed rate of 3,000 rials to U.S. $1 (4,726 rials = £ 1 sterling). Rahbar (spiritual leader) in 1996, Ayatollah Sayyed Ali Khamenei; president, Hojatolislam Ali Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani.
The division between the progressive and the Islamic hard-line groups within the government of Iran grew steadily during 1996. The rift was heightened by a personal clash that adversely affected relations between the nation's spiritual leader, Ayatollah Sayyed Ali Khamenei, and the president, Hojatolislam Ali Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani. In January a war of words erupted in which the president, backed by 14 members of the Cabinet, the mayor of Tehran, and the central bank governor, called for the modernization of Iran and greater prosperity. Followers of Khamenei in response demanded a rejection of material gain and a greater adherence to Islamic ideals.
At the political level the same theme was pursued in the election campaign for the national legislature, the first round of which took place on March 8. The election ended the previous Islamic consensus between moderates and the right wing and caused the emergence of two quite distinct sets of policies and approved candidates. Results of the first round, during which more than 70% of the voters went to the polls, were inconclusive, with only 139 of the 270 seats decided. The results of a second round on April 19 seemed to diminish the power of the right wing and offer opportunity for a small independent secular faction to have a voice in the government.
On June 2 an important vote in the legislature for the appointment of speaker brought victory to Ali Akbar Nateq-Nuri, leader of the right-wing Jame-e Rohaniyat-e Mobarez (JRM). The moderates were thus defeated in the legislature and then lost the initiative in national politics. Islamic extremist groups became increasingly active, notably Ansar-e Hizbollah, dedicated to the eradication of non-Islamic elements in society. A major campaign against proponents of secular and intellectual reforms was launched, supported by Khamenei and the JRM. Meanwhile, Rafsanjani's political future became uncertain when proposals for constitutional change to permit him to run for a third term in the July 1997 presidential elections were rejected; this further weakened the position of the moderates.
In July the U.S. introduced new sanctions against Iran to deter its alleged participation in international terrorism. The sanctions provided that third-party states, companies, and individuals must neither contribute to Iran's chemical, biological, or nuclear weapons capacity nor aid in the development of Iran's oil industry. Investment in Iran in those areas must not exceed $40 million either singly or in aggregate during any 12-month period. Those breaking U.S. sanctions may be punished by export and import embargoes, the withholding of U.S. loans, and the exclusion from financial dealings in the U.S. The sanctions, despite meeting formidable international opposition, further institutionalized Iran's position as a pariah state.
Iran's relations with its neighbours were unsettled and erratic. In April four Turkish diplomats were expelled, but in August Iran came to an agreement with Turkey for construction of a $23 billion pipeline to supply natural gas. New agreements signed in December were expected to double trade between Iran and Turkey. Iran was accused in June of backing a plot by Shi'ite Muslims to overthrow the government of Bahrain, a charge that it denied. Similarly, allegations were made in March by U.S. Secretary of State Warren Christopher that Iran actively supported Hamas and Hezbollah terrorism against Israel. Iranian-backed Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK) forces in Iraq were driven toward the Iranian border by the Kurdistan Democratic Party with armoured support from the Iraqi army in late August. The PUK was severely mauled, and Iran had to cope with a new surge of Kurdish refugees into its territory. Iran nonetheless condemned foreign intervention in Iraq and sought to minimize its involvement in the conflict between the U.S. and Iraq.

Native Communications Inc. (NCI) is a public broadcaster in Manitoba; we are an Aboriginal service organization offering radio programming that is designed for and by Native people. We have been broadcasting in Northern Manitoba since September 1971, providing Aboriginal language and cultural programming. We are a non-profit educational / cultural entity that has registered charity status.
The vision and initiative to create an Aboriginal radio station came from the grassroots, from a group of community members who recognized the need for a broadcaster that could speak directly to Native people all over Manitoba – regardless of geographic or language barriers. A group of people from Cross Lake, Wabowden, and South Indian Lake were instrumental in forming a committee that later evolved into NCI. Since the early beginnings of NCI, our Board of Directors has proudly been comprised of all Native people striving to meet the communication needs of all communities throughout Manitoba.
In 1985, NCI ventured into television production and NCI-TV programs have appeared on CBC Manitoba, North of Winnipeg, and on the Aboriginal Peoples Television Network (APTN) www.aptn.ca. NCI-TV has produced hundreds of programs including current affairs programs, children shows, and music events. NCI still provides 1 – 2 special programs per year for APTN.
NCI radio is regarded as "The Voice of Aboriginal People." Throughout Manitoba NCI is a very real part of the Aboriginal community – the same as trapping, fishing, and bannock! The NCI-FM radio network currently reaches 98% of Manitoba via 57 transmitters from Winnipeg to Churchill. We are the first and only Aboriginal radio network of our kind in Manitoba. NCI is currently the largest Native radio network in Canada.
Our weekday programming schedule brings you the hottest country hits with a mix of the best new Aboriginal artists. We devote our evenings to the best Native talent and whether they sing pow wow, blues, country, or rock you'll hear them all here on NCI.
NCI-FM broadcasts 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, on 57 FM radio transmitters located throughout the province that reaches over 75 communities. Two of NCI's major transmitters have a total power of 200,000 watts. In 2005, NCI began streaming its broadcast online at www.ncifm.com allowing listeners across the world to tune in anytime, at any place. Our audio streaming also allows loyal listeners to send and receive greetings and song requests over great geographical distance, bridging the gap between friends and family members alike.

Pattern recognition is the process of classifying input data into objects or classes based on key features. There are two classification methods in pattern recognition: supervised and unsupervised classification.
Pattern recognition has applications in computer vision, radar processing, speech recognition, and text classification.
The supervised classification of input data in the pattern recognition method uses supervised learning algorithms that create classifiers based on training data from different object classes. The classifier then accepts input data and assigns the appropriate object or class label.
In computer vision, supervised pattern recognition techniques are used for optical character recognition (OCR), face detection, face recognition, object detection, and object classification.
The unsupervised classification method works by finding hidden structures in unlabeled data using segmentation or clustering techniques. Common unsupervised classification methods include:
In image processing and computer vision, unsupervised pattern recognition techniques are used for object detection and image segmentation.
For details, see Computer Vision System Toolbox™, Image Processing Toolbox™, and Statistics and Machine Learning Toolbox™, which are used with MATLAB®.
See also: Deep Learning, object detection, object recognition, image recognition, face recognition, feature extraction, object tracking, image segmentation, machine learning, pattern recognition videos, point cloud, deep learning
In this course, you'll determine how to use unsupervised learning techniques to discover features in large data sets and supervised learning techniques to build predictive models.

How our favourite characters have aged
Harry Potter, the boy wizard, is now 34 according to a new story by JK Rowling. How have other famous characters aged?
Almost seven years after publishing the final Harry Potter book, JK Rowling has written a new short story, featuring the characters a generation of children knew and loved, now all grown up. Published on her website, it shows us Harry at 34, attending the Quidditch World Cup and going grey. Which is better than Ron Weasley, who is going bald.
There are nods, here, towards careers and relationships. Maybe Harry's marriage to Ginny hasn't worked out so well. Is there still that small frisson with Hermione? Both of them, after all, are high-flyers, with Hermione now a magical civil servant. Harry is a member of the wizardly version of MI6, which may be a surprise to anybody who expected him to edit The Guardian. Ron,…

It's that time of the year when new beginnings need to happen.
That's where the greenhouse fits in with this concept.
The greenhouse, aka Growing Dome, at the Ranch is in need of some serious cleaning up, new dirt, new seeds, new everything. I have neglected it during the past winter months and shouldn't have but it was too cold outside.
Now I have a lot more work on my hands than I should.
I began by ripping and tearing everything out that was dead or almost dead including my beloved tomato plant that was pretty much gone. I left three jalapeno plants and two pepper plants that yield more than we can reasonably eat. It's great to have them produce to much rather too little, or in some cases none at all.
I had a little help with the greenhouse makeover, thank goodness!
This is how it went....
These jalapenos and peppers will be much happier made into salsa!
Okay, so I had a little help with this redo. There's nothing wrong with help, especially from two cowboys that are much stronger than I.
Plus they can use bigger tools than I.
This is the greenhouse, the backhoe filled with the new dirt, and the Ranger filled with supplies. We brought in rich dirt from another part of the ranch and mixed it with cow manure and sand.
This is the center planter where we broke up the old dirt, fixed any broken water lines and prepped for the new dirt mixture.
New dirt going in with Sophia watching in the background. Hopefully she can do this when she grows up.
This bucket of water contains cut-off branches from cottonwood trees as a trial to see if they will bud and later be transplanted into the ground.
Once we get the place in order I will get more pictures, it's kind of sad looking right now.

This Wine Is Rated:
Chocolate, tar, blackberries, violets, and dark fruits are found in the aromas and flavors of the uncivilized 2002 Champoux Vineyard (a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc). Though pure, ripe, and dominated by fruit, this super-concentrated effort is more reminiscent of a barrel sample than a bottled wine. Hugely powerful, it will require patience. Projected maturity: 2010-2020.

(Editor's note: Brant Cooper is an independent startup consultant specializing in customer development and marketing. He submitted this story to VentureBeat.)
The difficulty of assessing change is knowing where you are on the curve. At any moment in time, there's a tendency to believe you have witnessed change, rather than are currently experiencing it.
It is, of course, impossible to predict what long-term changes the explosion of entrepreneurship will bring to the startup ecosystem. One thing is clear, though: The large number of students graduating from college with plans to start new businesses is a global phenomenon that's here to stay.
How founders and early investors will benefit from this emerging new startup order is is proving to be a source consternation, though. Startups are fighting in increasingly crowded spaces and traditional investors bemoan the dwindling "big wins" – companies achieving revenues of greater than $100 million.
Today's high tech startups are, for the most part, incredibly inexpensive to get off the ground. They're also able to move quicker than ever. As embodied by the "Lean Startup" philosophy, agile, new businesses excel at quickly "learning" their way toward achieving Product-Market fit before they worry about raising significant capital to finance scaling.
These lean startups means are predicated on generating more output on less input; i.e., more power from a less expensive box. It is, essentially, miniturization – the Moore's Law of startups.
Say the image to the right represents a Lean Startup. The spiral represents a vague idea of a new startup on the outside, iterating its way toward honing in on a product that successfully solves a problem for an identifiable group of users who are willing to pay.
Along the way, the startup may find it necessary to change its business in one or more ways – product functionality, market segment, business model – until it has found a profitable market "signal."
Even with Product-Market fit, however, a Lean Startup may not have found a scalable startup. In other words, it may not have found a market that represents the "big win" to investors.
Some of these companies will make it. Most will not. But even those that don't have still found something of value – and in an era where we may now find thousands of these companies, what becomes of that value?
If it's true that Lean Startups product more output with less input and that the definition for the "big win" hasn't changed, then there's only a couple of ways to get big: 1) hope you fund the right startups, or 2) smartly combine startups.
If each spiraling clock represents a lean startup, the bottom base of the Sean Ellis-inspired pyramid to the right is made of companies that have complementary technology, but have not found a market in which to scale by themselves. By combining at that point, they're able to grow and ultimately scale.
The key, though, is founders must learn to anticipate that combination pre-funding. If they don't, the financing must be structured in such a way that an early merger rewards founders and investors sufficiently. (Perhaps a secondary equity market will emerge, designed explicitly for such a scenario.)
Leaving aside the messy realities of merging companies, the efficiencies gained through parallel learning processes may be worth the effort, especially if this new reality were to create a viable "exit strategy."
A pool of these combined smaller companies would make for attractive acquisitions for larger firms, especially older ones that are faced with The Innovator's Dilemma.
Large, market-leading tech companies tend to move "up market" over time, maintaining competitive advantage through "continuous innovation" – which leaves the company vulnerable to disruptive innovation. Acquiring startups is one way for established businesses to stay competitive along both continuous and disruption innovation curves.
Perhaps this sort of ecosystem will enable the vertical integration necessary to "retool stale businesses," or, in other words, move late majority companies into the technology revolution. Ultimately, more companies solving problems for more market segments – regardless of size – will move the entire technology industry further along its lifecycle adoption curve.

We study the existence and uniqueness of coincidence point for nonlinear mappings of any number of arguments under a weak ()-contractivity condition in partial metric spaces. The results we obtain generalize, extend, and unify several classical and very recent related results in the literature in metric spaces (see Aydi et al. (2011), Berinde and Borcut (2011), Gnana Bhaskar and Lakshmikantham (2006), Berzig and Samet (2012), Borcut and Berinde (2012), Choudhury et al. (2011), Karapınar and Luong (2012), Lakshmikantham and Ćirić (2009), Luong and Thuan (2011), and Roldán et al. (2012)) and in partial metric spaces (see Shatanawi et al. (2012)).
1. Introduction
The notion of coupled fixed point was introduced by Guo and Lakshmikantham [1] in 1987. In a recent paper, Gnana Bhaskar and Lakshmikantham [2] introduced the concept mixed monotone property for contractive operators of the form , where is a partially ordered metric space, and then established some coupled fixed-point theorems. After that, many results appeared on coupled fixed-point theory in different contexts (see, e.g., [3–6]). Later, Berinde and Borcut [7] introduced the concept of tripled fixed point and proved tripled fixed-point theorems using mixed monotone mappings (see also [8–10]).
Very recently, Roldán et al. [11] proposed the notion of coincidence point between mappings in any number of variables and showed some existence and uniqueness theorems that extended the mentioned previous results for this kind of nonlinear mappings, not necessarily permuted or ordered, in the framework of partially ordered complete metric spaces, using a weaker contraction condition, that also generalized other works by Berzig and Samet [12], Karapınar and Berinde [13].
Partial metric spaces were firstly introduced by Matthews in [14] as an attempt to generalize the metric spaces by establishing the condition that the distance between a point to itself (which is not necessarily zero) is less or equal than the distance between that point and another point of the space. In the mentioned papers, Matthews studied topological properties of partial metric spaces and stated a modified version of a Banach contraction mapping principle on this kind of spaces. After Matthews' pioneering work, the theory of partial metric spaces and particularly the field of fixed-point theorems have expansively been developed due to the increasing interest in this area and motivated by its possible applications (see [15, 16] and references therein).
In this paper, our main aim is to study a weaker contractivity condition for nonlinear mappings of any number of arguments. This condition can be particularized in a variety of forms that let us extend the previously mentioned results and other recent ones in this field (see [2, 5, 7, 9, 11, 12, 16–20]). We also notice that our results cannot be obtained by the very recent paper of Haghi et al. [21] (for more details see Remark 26).
2. Preliminaries
Preliminaries and notation about coincidence points can also be found in [11]. Let be a positive integer. Henceforth, will denote a nonempty set, and will denote the product space . Throughout this paper, and will denote nonnegative integers and . Unless otherwise stated, "for all " will mean "for all ", and "for all " will mean "for all ". Let .
A metric on is a mapping satisfying, for all : (i) if, and only if, ;(ii).
From these properties, we can easily deduce that and for all . The last requirement is called the triangle inequality. If is a metric on , we say that is a metric space (for short, an MS).
Definition 1 (see [22]). A triple is called a partially ordered metric space if is a MS and is a partial order on .
Definition 2 (see [2]). An ordered MS is said to have the sequential -monotone property if it verifies(i)if is a nondecreasing sequence and , then for all ;(ii)if is a nonincreasing sequence and , then for all .
If is the identity mapping, then is said to have the sequential monotone property.
Henceforth, fix a partition of two non-empty subsets of ; that is, and We will denote If is a partially ordered space, , and , we will use the following notation:
Let and be two mappings.
Definition 3 (see [11]). One says that and are commuting if for all .
Definition 4 (see [11]). Let be a partially ordered space. One says that has the mixed -monotone property (with respect to ) if is -monotone nondecreasing in arguments of and -monotone nonincreasing in arguments of ; that is, for all and all ,
Henceforth, let be mappings from into itself, and let be the -tuple .
Definition 5 (see [11]). A point is called a -coincidence point of the mappings and if If is the identity mapping on , then is called a -fixed point of the mapping .
Remark 6. If and are commuting and is a -coincidence point of and , then also is a -coincidence point of and .
Definition 7 (see [14]). A partial metric on is a mapping verifying, for all : ; ; ; .
In this case, is a partial metric space (for short, a PMS).
Example 8 (see, e.g., [14]). Let , and define on by for all . Then, is a partial metric space.
Example 9 (see [14]). Let , and define = . Then, is a partial metric space.
Example 10 (see [14]). Let , and define by Then, is a partial metric space.
Example 11 (see, e.g., [23, 24]). Let and be a metric space and a partial metric space, respectively. Functions given by
define partial metrics on , where is an arbitrary function and .
Obviously, if is a MS and we define , then is a PMS. Indeed, a partial metric on verifies(i); (ii); (iii),
but the condition does not necessarily hold. For a partial metric on , the mappings given by for all , are (usual) metrics on . On a PMS, the concepts of convergence, Cauchy sequences, completeness, and continuity are defined as follows.
Definition 12 (see [14, 25, 26]). Let be a sequence on a PMS .(i) -converges to (and one will write ) if .(ii) is called -Cauchy if exists (and it is finite).(iii) is said to be -complete if every -Cauchy sequence in -converges to a point such that .(iv)A mapping is said to be -continuous at if, for every , there exists such that .
We have used the previous notation because we need to distinguish between -convergence and -convergence on and usual convergence for real sequences.
Lemma 13 (see [14, 25, 26]). Let be a sequence on a PMS .(1) is -Cauchy if, and only if, it is -Cauchy.(2) if, and only if, and ; that is, (3) is complete if, and only if, the MS is complete.(4)If and , then for all .
3. Auxiliary Results
We will use the following results about real sequences in the proof of our main theorems.
Lemma 14. Let be real lower bounded sequences such that . Then, there exists and a subsequence such that .
Proof. Let for all . As is convergent, it is bounded. As for all and , then every is bounded. As is a real bounded sequence, it has a convergent subsequence . Consider the subsequences ; that are real bounded sequences and the sequence that also converges to . As is a real bounded sequence, it has a convergent subsequence . Then, the sequences , , also are real bounded sequences, , and . Repeating this process times, we can find subsequences , , (where ) such that for all . And . But so , and there exists such that . Therefore, there exists and a subsequence such that .
Lemma 15. Let be a sequence of nonnegative real numbers which has not any subsequence converging to zero. Then, for all , there exist and such that for all .
Proof. Suppose that the conclusion is not true. Then, there exists such that, for all , there exists verifying . Let be such that . For all , take . Then, there exists verifying . Taking limit when , we deduce that . Then, has a subsequence converging to zero (maybe, reordering ), but this is a contradiction.
Lemma 16. If is a sequence in a MS that is not Cauchy, then there exist and two subsequences and such that, for all ,
Proof. We know that
If this condition is not true, then
Let . Then, there exists such that and . Let , and consider the numbers
Since , between the previous numbers there exists a first nonnegative integer such that but for all . In particular, .
Now, let . Then, there exists such that and . Let , and consider the numbers Since , between the previous numbers there exists a first nonnegative integer such that but for all . In particular, .
Repeating this process, we can find two subsequences and such that, for all :
Definition 17. Let be the family of all continuous, nondecreasing mappings such that if, and only if, .
These mappings are known as altering distance functions (see [27]). Note that every selected commutes with ; that is, for all .
Lemma 18. If and , then .
Proof. As there exists , then . If the conclusion is not true, there exists such that, for all , there exists verifying . This means that has a subsequence such that . As is nondecreasing, for all . Therefore, has a subsequence lower bounded by , but this is impossible since .
With regards to coincidence points, it is possible to consider the following simplification. If is a permutation of , and we reorder (4), then we deduce that every coincidence point may be seen as a coincidence point associated to the identity mapping on (see, for instance, [28]).
Lemma 19. Let be a permutation of , and let and = . Then, a point is a -coincidence point of the mappings and if, and only if, is a -coincidence point of the mappings and .
Therefore, in the sequel, without loss of generality, we will only consider -coincidence points where , that is, that verify for all . We also show some preliminary results on PMS.
Lemma 20. Let be a sequence on a PMS , and let .(1)If and , then , and for all .(2)If and , then .
Proof. Since and , then = . Therefore, = = , so . Since is continuous, then for all , and item 4 of Lemma 13 implies that .
Item 2 of Lemma 13 shows that .
Remark 21. Although the limit in a MS is unique, the -limit in a PMS is not necessarily unique. For instance, let as in Example 10. Then, is a complete PMS (see [14]). Consider for all . Then, but whenever .
Definition 22. Let , let be a PMS, let be a mapping, and let . We will say that is -continuous at if, for all sequences on such that for all , for all and , we have that and . One will say that is -continuous if it is continuous at every point .
Lemma 23. If is a PMS, and is -continuous at , then is -continuous at .
Proof. Let sequences on such that for all , for all , and . Item 1 of Lemma 20 implies that for all . Since is -continuous at , then . Item 2 of Lemma 13 assures us that and Then, is -continuous at .
4. Main Results
In the following result, we show sufficient conditions to ensure the existence of -coincidence points, where .
Theorem 24. Let be a complete PMS, and let a partial order on . Let be an -tuple of mappings from into itself verifying if and if . Let and be two mappings such that has the mixed -monotone property on , and is -continuous and commuting with . Assume that there exist such that for which for all . Suppose either is -continuous or has the sequential -monotone property. If there exist verifying for all , then and have, at least, one -coincidence point.
Proof. The proof is divided into seven steps. The first two steps are the same as in the proof of Theorem 9 in [11], since the contractivity condition does not play any role in these parts of the proof.
Step 1. There exist sequences such that = for all and all .
Step 2. for all and all .
Step 3. We claim that for all (i.e., ).
Indeed, define for all . As for all and all , then condition (17) implies that, for all and all :Therefore, for all , . This means that the sequence is nonincreasing and lower bounded. Hence, it is convergent; that is, there exists such that . We are going to show that . Since Lemma 14 assures that there exist and a subsequence such that . Repeating (18), for all , Consider the sequence Suppose that this sequence has no subsequence converging to zero. Using , Lemma 15 assures us that there exists and such that for all . It follows that Then, (20) says to us Taking limit in , we deduce that , which is impossible. Therefore, the sequence in (21) must have a subsequence converging to zero. Since and are continuous, taking limit when in (20) using this subsequence, we deduce that , so . Then, we have just proved that . Therefore, , and Lemma 18 assures that , which means that for all since for all and all .
Step 4. for all (i.e., ). It is the same proof of Step 3.
Since for all and , joining Steps 3 and 4, it follows that Step 5. Every sequence is -Cauchy. We reason by contradiction. Suppose that are not -Cauchy () and are -Cauchy, being . By Lemma 16, for all , there exists and subsequences and such that Now, let and . Since are -Cauchy, for all , there exists such that if , then . Since by Step 4, there exists such that if , then . Define . If , then Therefore, we have proved that there exists such that if , then
Next, let such that . Let such that , and define . Consider the numbers until finding the first positive integer verifying Now let such that , and define . Consider the numbers until finding the first positive integer verifying Repeating this process, we can find sequences such that, for all , Note that by (27), for all , so for all and all . Furthermore, for all , Therefore, for all and all , Next, for all , let be an index such that Then, for all , Applying the contractivity condition (17), it follows, for all , Consider the sequence: If this sequence has a subsequence that converges to zero, then we can take limit when in (36) using this subsequence, so that we would have , which is impossible since . Therefore, the sequence (37) has no subsequence converging to zero. In this case, taking in Lemma 15, there exist and such that , for all . It follows that, for all , . Thus, by (36), Fix any and we are going to prove that . Indeed, by Step 3 and (24), since are sequences converging to zero, we can find such that if , then Therefore, (33) implies that, for all and for all such that , Then, (38) guarantees that . This means that for all . If we take (where ), we deduce that for all . Since is continuous, we have that , which is impossible since . This contradiction finally proves that every sequence is -Cauchy.
Since is -complete, then is -complete (item 3 of Lemma 13). Then, there exist such that for all . Furthermore, = = = for all . Since is -continuous, then and for all . Item 1 of Lemma 20 shows that for all . Therefore, for all , . Moreover, for all and all , .
Step 6. Suppose that is -continuous. In this case, we know that and for all and which implies that and , for all . Item 1 of Lemma 20 assures us that, for all , Since the limit in a MS is unique, we deduce that for all , so is a -coincidence point of and .
Step 7. Suppose that has the sequential -monotone property. In this case, by Step 2, we know that for all and all . This means that the sequence is monotone. As , we deduce that for all and all. This condition implies that, for all and all , (the first case occurs when and the second one when ). Then, by (17), for all ,

The Second Hand Opera presents: An Evening with the Honeydogs
Vega Productions and the Second Hand Opera Artist Collective present a night of music and collaborative creation featuring The Honeydogs, Bomba De Luz, and Fairfax, AK to raise money for music education in Minnesota.
A portion of the proceeds of this event will go to charity.
Vega Productions' mission is to advocate for, support and provide children and youth with equal access to quality music and art education. Since forming in 2005, Vega Productions has provided more than 30,000 students with the opportunity to participate in music and art programs across Minnesota (see map of past support). Vega Productions, Inc. is a registered 501c3 non-profit organization.
From its inception, Vega Productions has secured donated instruments and distributed them to students that qualify for free-or-reduced lunch and schools where music budgets have been slashed. This has been done manually through the use of volunteer labor. However, as the need has grown because of budget cuts in schools, it has become increasingly challenging to keep up with the demand.
Vega Productions, in partnership with Software for Good, has created a resource to help combat this crisis. Instruments in the Cloud is a cloud-based website that will assist school districts and music instructors in providing instruments to students in financial need. Instruments in the Cloud allows users (music teachers and administration) to easily catalog and manage existing instrument inventories, add newly purchased or donated instruments, search for available instruments from surrounding schools and request those instruments for their students who cannot afford to purchase or rent. It also acts as a portal for instrument donors to connect directly with schools so they can easily donate their used instrument to a school near them.
Instruments in the Cloud creates an inter-connected community of schools, music instructors and individual instrument donors that can work collaboratively to provide the opportunity for every student to participate in music education.

LONG BEACH >> When Sixth District Councilman Dee Andrews looks at what was once called The Hole, he said he can't help but think of all the amazing opportunities.
This would not have been possible just a year ago, but Andrews and other officials will be unveiling the new Chittick Field at 11 a.m. Wednesday — a place Andrews said he hopes will soon host Poly High School football games and state track and field meets.
"It was a big, old death hole back in the day," Andrews said, noting he and his friends still used it constantly when they were growing up. "Now you look at it and you cannot believe what we have here."
The Hole was generally referred to as the Hamilton Bowl, and more recently was officially dubbed Chittick Field. It was a 19-acre flood control detention basin roughly between Walnut Avenue, Gardenia Avenue, Pacific Coast Highway and the Pacific Electric Right of Way.
Before it was renovated this year, Chittick Field was rundown, with dead or absent grass and ground that kicked up dust everywhere. Los Angeles County owns the land, but the city is leasing it through at least 2106 for recreational purposes.
The new Chittick Field will have three soccer fields, a regulation-sized football field surrounded by a 400-meter all-weather track and accommodations for javelin, pole vault, long jump and triple jump. Additionally, construction workers have installed a bike path connection, parking lot, landscaping, irrigation, restrooms, a new pump station and new electrical infrastructure. Improvements also have been made on Walnut Avenue and to drainage and stormwater facilities — a key to maintaining the area, officials said.
"This is going to be fantastic," Andrews said. "Up from Signal Hill looking down, you'd think, whoa, that looks like another city."
The Hamilton Bowl site has had a storied past. Most recently, it was slated to be a $50 million Kroc Community Center, which would have been run by the Salvation Army. However, after gaining the entitlements to build on the land, the Salvation Army was not able to get sufficient financial support, and the organization decided to pull the plug on the project.
The new idea of a sports facility called Chittick Field began in earnest in 2012, when officials announced that Occidental Petroleum Corporation had donated $1 million for the project. That was added to a pot that grew to about $8 million, a significant portion of which came from Los Angeles County bonds (about $4.34 million) and a Regional Park Open Space district grant of $1.86 million from the county. The City Council kicked in about $1 million for lighting.
"Definitely, it is ready to be used, and it will be used," Director of Public Works Ara Maloyan said. "It's going to be awesome and a tremendous improvement to the neighborhood."
The reopening event will feature Mayor Bob Foster, Los Angeles County Supervisor Don Knabe, Andrews and some other special guests. Andrews said there would be a Pop Warner football team to demonstrate the football field, along with the Poly track and field stars to show off the new track.
Andrews added that he is not ready to stop now. He said he wants major events at Chittick Field, and if that requires more money, he said he would fight to get more to enhance it further — adding that there likely are plenty of past Poly athletes who might chip in.
"It could really be a venue we never even dreamed about," he said. "I'm hoping we can preserve this to where it can be used for those big events. We want to have this open to kids who would truly take advantage of it, not graffiti it."
Because it still is a flood basin, Chittick Field will close occasionally during significant rainfalls — expect it to be usable 10 to 11 months a year, Maloyan said.
Chittick Field will be a permitted (i.e., reservations necessary) sports park. The public can use it for general unscheduled purposes, as long as no reserved activities are taking place. To make a reservation, call 562-570-3204.

Malaysian PM defends judiciary
Jailed: Anwar Ibrahim's trial remains controversial
Malaysia's Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad has defended the judiciary in the wake of the jailing of former deputy prime minister Anwar Ibrahim, despite calls for a royal commission into the country's legal system.
The prime minister was speaking at the opening of a Commonwealth lawyers conference in Kuala Lumpur only days after Malaysia became the first Commonwealth nation in 50 years to jail a journalist for contempt.
"Impoverishing millions of people, depriving them of medicine, even killing large numbers of them directly or indirectly are not considered violation of human rights.
"But arrest a political dissident and the whole world condemns the government for violations of human rights."
'Nothing to hide'
Anwar was taken to hospital on Friday amid allegations from his lawyers that he had become the victim of an attempted arsenic poisoning since he was jailed in April for six years on political corruption charges.
"But if I were brought before the court and the court decides against me, then the court is independent."
"We have nothing to hide, he added. "But open minds are necessary for you to judge fairly."
Royal commission call
Conference organisers said that many participants had only agreed to attend at the last minute after pleas from Malaysian lawyers not to stay away in protest.
He called for a royal commission and a royal pardon for the Canadian journalist jailed on Saturday.
In a separate address, the president of Malaysia's Bar Council RR Chelvarajah said that criticisms of the judiciary had to be taken seriously.
Backing calls for a commission, he said: "These comments should not be ignored or brushed aside by castigating those who make them as meddlers in internal affairs," he said.
"Nothing is more debilitating to a nation than to have a judiciary which does not command the respect and confidence of the public."
Calls for journalist's release
The US and Canada have joined human rights groups in criticising Malaysia following the jailing of Murray Hiebert of the Far Eastern Economic Review.
Mr Hiebert, Malaysia bureau chief for the Hong Kong-based publication, was jailed over a January 1997 article which was alleged to have amounted to an attack on the judiciary.
In a statement, the White House said that the jailing would undermine press freedoms which play such a critical role in building a democratic society.
The US-based Committee to Protect Journalists described the jailing as an "outrage".

Council of all Beings
Title: Council of all Beings
Location: Polly Hill Arboretum
Date: Saturday, April 19
10am – 3:30pm
Description: The magical landscape of the Arboretum is a perfect place to reconnect with nature. On Saturday, April 19 join April Thanhauser and friends for a daylong workshop, A Council of All Beings. This experiential workshop, first developed in the late 80's by environmentalist/deep-ecologists Joanna Macy and John Seed, is a communal ritual in which participants step aside from their human identity and speak on behalf of another life-form. We meet as a group at 10:00am for introductions and to learn meditative practices to stimulate intuitive perception. Participants then explore the Arboretum on their own to discover a plant, animal, or landscape feature to represent at the Council. We then regroup to make masks representing our life-form for the Council. During the Council each masked person speaks from the perspective of their new identity giving us all a chance to hear what nature has to say through us. We will end with a simple closing ceremony at 3:30pm. Bring lunch. $30/$5 for PHA members. No charge if you become a PHA member at the workshop ($35).

Orioles second baseman Brian Roberts and his wife, Diana, are the proud parents of a baby boy, Jax Isaac Roberts, born last night in Baltimore.
The club's public relations staff announced via Twitter that "all are doing well."
Jax is 6 pounds, 7 ounces. No word on whether he bats from both sides of the plate.
Roberts was placed on paternity leave last night, with pitcher Steve Johnson being activated from the disabled list and rejoining the Orioles at Camden Yards as an extra reliever.
Roberts is allowed to remain on leave through Sunday, but he could choose to return anytime this weekend.
Manager Buck Showalter suggested that the club would keep revisiting its roster options each day. He also said Roberts might decide, if mother and baby are resting comfortably, to head over to the ballpark and play.
We'll know more about the Roberts situation later today.

As news of Tyron Smith's new mega-deal with the Cowboys was announced Tuesday morning, Jason Garrett took the podium at his daily press conference in Oxnard. And as you would expect, the Cowboys head coach was ecstatic about locking up one of the most talented left tackles in football.
"He's just been everything we've wanted to build this program and this team around," Garrett said. "His work ethic is fantastic, his mental and physical toughness is as good as I've been around, and he just continues to grow and develop as a player."
Later in the day, Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones took it a step further.
"There was one thing that wasn't an argument," Jones said to reporters in Oxnard Wednesday afternoon. "We thought based on his skill and based on his age, Tyron deserved to be the highest paid left tackle."
One of the reasons the Cowboys were willing to give Smith the biggest contract for an offensive lineman in the NFL was his age. A 2011 first round pick, at 23-years old, Smith is younger than the two offensive linemen the Cowboys have taken in the 2013 and 2014 NFL Drafts.
"I think this may be the first ten-year deal I've done in football where I really think the guy will be playing in the last year of his contract," Jones said.
The deal Smith signed is an eight-year extension, with the total value at just under $110 million, nearly $30 million more than the next highest paid tackle in the NFL. Smith also has $40 million guaranteed in the deal, including a $10 million signing bonus.
"He's a really young player we put (on the field) really on minute one of day one, and he's been everything we thought he was going to be, both physically, tangibly, and as a person," said Garrett. "He's still a young man, but he's played a lot of football for us already."
And Smith's youth has the Cowboys believing he can get even better than his Pro Bowl performance of 2013.
"Technically, he's getting better, he's getting bigger and stronger, and he's just tough and competitive," Garrett said. "He's who you want on your football team in a really, really important position."
When asked if making Smith the highest paid offensive lineman in the NFL was a goal in the negotiations, Jones remarked, "I think that is what it was going to take to sign him," and that both sides walked away satisfied with the deal.
"We were able to get something done that works for everybody."

Bombadier arrives overseas shortly before World War II's end
Shortly after Frank Spain finished his bombardier training and made his way to the Pacific islands the war was over.
�The whole ride over to Guam we heard rumors something big was about to happen,� said Spain, 88, of Richlands. �Once I got there they dropped the atomic bombs. The war was over and I had just arrived.�
Spain, who joined in 1943, is one of three brothers who signed up during World War II, all of whom had their parents� blessing. Spain left college at North Carolina State University to join the Army Air Corps and avoid being drafted. Leading up to his deployment he would spend many months training as a B-17 and B-29 bombardier.
�It was hot as hell (at boot camp),� Spain said. �All of us were young and very impressionable. We thought everything was the way it ought to be.�
After boot camp Spain went to California where it rained every day, he said. It was there that he trained on the Norden Bomb Sight simulator � dropping a plunger 20 feet in order to hit a dime.
�The way to tell a real bombardier from a cadet was the raccoon mark on their eye left by the sight,� Spain said. �The mark was a sign of accomplishment, and we stood in awe when we saw the seasoned bombardiers. We wanted to be just like them.�
Shortly after mastering the simulator Spain was able to train with real pilots, dropping duds on various training missions. Once that was complete, he graduated and was shipped to Guam.
�I was grateful when I heard the war was over,� Spain said. �It meant there would be no more killing. I think gratitude definitely sums it up.�
But over the years Spain says he has mixed emotions about missing out on the war.
�I�ve asked myself a million times if I wished I had seen combat,� Spain said. �I feel for those who did and I appreciate them very much. There was no group more ready than mine � we just didn�t get there in time.�
Spain said he feels as though he could have done more by going into combat but at the same time he is grateful that he didn�t have to. And many years later he has come to grips with the fact that he cannot change the past. Now, when he looks at memorabilia from his days in uniform he feels many things, he said.
�I feel an equal mix of pride and appreciation,� Spain said. �Pride for having served and appreciation for others having served with me.�
The Daily News is looking for World War II veterans who would like to share their story. If you or someone you know served in World War II, contact Military Reporter Thomas Brennan at 910-219-8453 or email@example.com . Follow him on Twitter @ thomasjbrennan.
