'The Cycle' debates guns, tensions flare
In the wake of NFL linebacker Javon Belcher's murder-suicide and Bob Costas's decision to advocate for gun control during Sunday Night Football, the co-hosts of MSNBC's "The Cycle" had a debate over gun control today that got very heated, and provided a few debatable assertions.
First from Touré, representing the adamantly anti-gun side:
Guns are only used for one purpose and that's killing.
So, it's not like Touré had many fans on the right, but that certainly won't help. Immediately co-hosts Krystal Ball and S.E. Cupp informed Touré that people -- Krystal's father and Cupp herself -- also use guns for target practice. Touré nevertheless continued, and went on to address Belcher's anger.
Enter Cupp, representing the adamantly pro-gun side:
That anger is what we should be talking about.... [Belcher's girlfriend] was done no service by Bob Costas, of all people, irresponsibly going out and telling millions of NFL viewers that they have permission to blame guns instead of the person who pulled the trigger... I think rather than talk about the guns, what we should be talking about is the root of the problem. Bob Costas has done something shameful and irresponsible, and is going to have some blood on his hands in the future...
So, "guns kill people" versus "guns don't kill people, people kill people."
Steve Kornacki then introduced some relevant and irrefutable facts about gun violence, including the fact that a domestic dispute is 12 times more likely to end in a homicide when there is a firearm in the house. Krystal Ball tried to serve as the voice of mediation.
You have to give "The Cycle" credit for debating the gun control issue. The liberal watchdog organization Media Matters rightly notes that on Fox News, its never the right time to have that discussion -- in part because it always comes up in light of a tragedy.
For that same reason, Washington Post media blogger Erik Wemple champions Costas's decision to address the issue. "I say: More editorializing, more coverage of the nexus between sport and society and government, more spouting-off of the sort that'll anger all those guys who wear team jerseys every Sunday," he writes.
Whether Costas was "right" or "wrong" to advocate for gun control is sort of beside the point now. The fact is he did, and more importantly taht he did so on the one platform that could finally force people to pay attention: Sunday Night Football, which is very often the most-watched television event of the week.

Multiple OSes
Lets say I want to have a computer "dual" boot, but with more than 2 operating systems. Is there any way I can give a minimal space partition for each OS, and then share a home directory across the multiple operating systems on a dedicated partition.
I'm interested in *nix only suggestions, but I am ideally looking to get this working with Windows XP as well (though I realize that may be more difficult).
Well how much disk space do you have ?
Using one /home for more than one OS I certainly will not do it
But multiply OS is possible , but it also means more handwork , because not every Linux Os do recognize the other enough
to leave it untouched .
Basically you have to decide where to install each OS and GRUB and add line to GRUB
If you have only one disk make as much partitions as the amount of OS you like to use , or use more than one HD
Yes and no (how's that for decisive)
Simply put, you can always dedicate a partition to /home, and simply mount that under /home for each OS. The problem is, your user's home directory contains a whole lot of configuration stuff for gnome, firefox, whatever. This can cause problems between installations.
What I have done on one of my PC's where I'm basically the only user is to have each distro with it's own /home, and simply mount a common partition under something like/home/myuser/data. If you want to get fancy you can look into automounting.
No personal experience of mounting ntfs from *nix except to play. People around here seem to thing it works fine. You can mount ext3 from Windows, but you'd have to search for how, unless someone else viewing has done it [note to self to try]
Edit - ronlau types faster than I do!
If it were me, I would use two computers. Dual-booting is a pain in the arse.
For the amount that I use Windows, the total waiting time per year is about 10 minutes.
By contrast, the total waiting time attributable to distro-hopping and obscure experiments is in the hours to DAYS per year.
All seriousness aside, I recommend all OSes on one drive (8-12GB each), and then shared data on a separate drive.
pixellany has a good idea except I make one of mine about 20 gig to download those dvd distros and that makes sure home does not run out of room. The rest I run at 12 Gig, have 10 up and running now going for 11 this week sometime. My favorite one is everyone in my menu.lst.
For most distros 8G is fine, although I have 12G for OpenSuSe. The main issue I have at present is that Linux only sees 16 partitions on a SATA drive
Yeah, that is a ludicrous restriction now that 1TB drives are not uncommon.
With just 16 partitions the last one on each drive will be a huge data partition, is there a limit on hds, do not forget the usb?
I thought so too, until I got my eee pc. Suddenly I find myself purging locale data and cleaning up after apt.
We use GRUB to have many operating systems. I am using GRUB to get Windwos XP and Linux flavours to the screen.
Some Linux distros are very troublesome to connect to the GRUB and get to the screen. This is my experience. GRUB simply doesn't recognize.
title distro_name
root (hdx,x) <drive and partition of the boot partition
chainloader +1
This means that you will pass through two grub menus but as you can control their timeout value, you can set the second one to 0.
Did you connect Mandriva, FC8,open SUSE,Ubuntu,Debian and Windows XP sucessfully?
I gave up FC8. Some people in Fedora forum in vain helped me.
They ran out of ideas and I gave up.
I have used all of those at one time or another, not necessarily all of them at the same time but they all went along with the chainloading trick. Right now, I have Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora 9, FreeBSD7 and XP - all booting fine.

My company has a large number of lesbians in executive leadership positions. These women are extremely intelligent, and well-trained. They are very successful, yet, for some reason they can't get each other pregnant. The CEO said action needed to be taken, to ensure the future of the firm.
So, the boss rounded up all us guys that hate to work, and sent us to a part of the building where they gave us magazines (Penthouse! Awesome!) and small bottles and sent us to our own rooms.
I stole a Penthouse magazine, but I feel great anyway, knowing I will keep this great country working into the future.

Mobile telecommunications infrastructure provider IHS will acquire Nigerian mobile tower infrastructure manufacturer Helios Towers Nigeria's (HTN's) portfolio of 1 211 tower sites throughout Nigeria.
"We have built a unique urban centric portfolio across Nigeria with the highest tenancy ratio in the industry and a diversified tenant mix. IHS is the natural buyer of our business and we believe its deep knowledge and extensive experience in the sector will help to continue the strong level of customer service already being achieved by HTN," said HTN CEO Inder Bajaj.
Upon completion of the transaction, which is expected to occur in the second quarter of this year, IHS would have full operational control of the underlying business and would market independent infrastructure-sharing services to mobile network operators and Internet service providers in Nigeria.
Business would continue as usual for HTN's towers, which would be seamlessly integrated into the IHS network and connected to IHS's network operating centre, which monitored each tower 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Leo Babauta wrote a blog: 31-ways-to-find-inspiration-for-your-writing
I agree with most of these as parts of my inspiration to write. I began writing short stories, then attempted thriller/mystery novels during the past three years. My dog Molly and I had been traveling around the US for over four years, north to south, east to west. The only states I have not been to in my seventy-one years is Alaska and Maine. Maine is a goal of mine.
The travel has given me the opportunity to meet people from around the country and a few from Europe. These experiences have provided fodder for a number of my story ideas. Especially for the locales where I lived for more than a few weeks. I also found ideas and many venues for my stories while traveling a couple of times in Europe.
Murder on the Wine Train came to mind after I enjoyed dining and traveling on the Napa Valley Wine Train. I was influenced when I started a webpage where I shared my travel experiences with friends. Their feedback was helpful by hearing the comments and questions about my experiences.
People watching was a fun part of my travel experiences, as was reading a variety of novels and short stories in several genres.
Another big influence came to me through my friend, K.L. Franklin and her book: Random Thoughts, Snippets, and Other Things
Murder on the Wine Train is now available on Amazon.com.

Man Pays Off Mortgage With 62,000 Pennies
Most people don't stop to pick up spare change found on the street, but for one man, that change added up over 35 years and allowed him to pay off his mortgage using 62,000 pennies. "It was something I wanted to do," he explained. "I always follow through."
Thomas Daigle began picking up the coins back in 1977, when he and wife Sandra moved into their home in Milford, Massachusetts. While out and about, Daigle would collect the coins, taking the time to roll them in wrappers during inclement weather. He had a goal, though, of making his final mortgage payment in pennies.
Daigle kept the coins safe in steel military rocket launcher ammo boxes until this past April, when he was finally able to go to the Milford Federal Savings and Loan Association. Of course, being a gentleman, Daigle called the bank to warn them of his extra-special payment, and the bank fully welcomed the payment.
"It was something I wanted to do, and I always follow through. I was just praying I didn't die first," Daigle joked to The Milford Daily News. He succeeded and managed to deliver two boxes to the local bank, with each one weighing over 400 pounds.
Now that Daigle has paid of his mortgage, he is eager to start a new hobby and not have to carry around all that spare change.
"I'm too old to pick up those boxes of pennies," he said.
According to the United States Mint, there were 4,938 million pennies produced in 2011 alone. Many are simply lost on the street, as they have depreciated in public opinion. Some people, like Daigle, have made it their mission to recover the loose change and, as anyone knows, those lost coins add up.
That's one message Daigle hopes to spread to his family and all those who read about his achievement.

Sometimes I find sed to be much handier than ed. One thing I miss in ed is my shell's history function. If I have to operate on multiple lines I tend to use "sed 's|xxx|yyy| ... ; s|XXX|YYY|' file.txt". If I mistype "s|xxy" instead of "s|xxx", I can just Ctrl-P and (re)edit my last command. Sed is of course a stream editor. So I'm just wondering if anybody knows of a line editor with a multiline history function.

Some franchisers refund a percentage of the royalty payment in the form of
purchase credits (similar to scrip). The franchisee can use these corporate
credits to purchase training, products, and other supplies from the corporate
You can track the amount of purchase credits you have garnered, and when you
use them up, by creating an asset account in QuickBooks. (The credits, because
they are the same as cash, can be considered an asset for your company.)
Create an "other current asset" account called Corporate Credit.
Leave the opening balance at 0.00.
Create an income account called Corp Credit.
Create an expense account called Co Credit.
When the corporate office assigns purchase credits to you, enter the amount
you have received as an "Increase" in the register of the new asset
account (Corporate Credit). Assign the increase transaction to your Corp Credit
income account.
For example, if you have been issued $1500 in purchase credits, you enter
"1500" in the Increase column of the "Corporate Credit"
asset account. In the Account field of that transaction, you can enter your
"Corp Credit" income account. Now the balance of your asset account
is $1500, and the balance for your "Corp Credit" income account is
also $1500.
When you use some of the purchase credits to "purchase" items from
corporate, enter the amount you have used as a "Decrease" in the
register of the Corporate Credit asset account. Assign the decrease transaction
to your Co Credit expense account.
For example, if you use $800 to "purchase" training from
corporate, you enter "800" in the Decrease column of your Corporate
Credit asset account. In the Account field of that transaction, you can enter
your Co Credit expense account. Now the balance of your asset account is $700
(the amount of purchase credits you have left), and the balance for your Co
Credit expense account is $800.
When you create a profit and loss report, the income and expense accounts
show balances of $1500 and $800, respectively (using the previous example).
When you create a balance sheet report, the Corporate Credit asset account
shows a balance of $700.

You need to get underneath the hood and check for some serious wire damage or else a bunch of stuff that's unplugged. My guess is that something somehow got fried and is causing all of these sensors to short circuit. These is no reason that they should all be malfunctioning at the same time.
You need to be checking on the driver side of your engine around the throttle body and battery - that's where all of this stuff is located.

LONDON, ONT. - It's growing tiresome watching Canada get out-goaltended at the world junior hockey tournament.
That's three straight years now.
But it's too easy to simply declare a puckstopping state of emergency, toss teens Scott Wedgewood and Mark Visentin under the bus, wail about how Canada hasn't produced an elite-level goalie since Carey Price and worry about what's going to happen in net at the next Olympics.
The dramatic 6-5 semifinal loss to Russia Tuesday in Calgary merely underlines that every country is in the same kind of goaltending boat, but we better start to steer ours better.
Just look at how Canada was beaten in Saskatoon, Buffalo, and now Calgary. Each of those golden elimination games, the opposition yanked their starting goalie -- and won.
That's how the names of those clutch backups -- Jack Campbell, Igor Bobkov and now Andrey Makarov -- were first burned into our puck-loving brains.
Heck, these Russians felt comfortable most of the time with a 17-year-old in net for an under-20 tournament. So no one's calling them a goaltending factory these days.
But Russian head coach Valeri Bragin made another masterful move by doing what Canada's Dave Cameron should've last year in Buffalo -- pulled his starter before the lead was lost and, in the process, woke up some of his sleepy players.
It was a gutsy call, and it worked.
Canada, once again, didn't have a clear-cut No. 1 in net.
It went into the medal game without a loss -- and still had to fend off a goalie controversy with the experienced Visentin passed over for the start in a game he had wanted for a calendar year.
Such is the kind of scrutiny that surrounds this team, especially when the tournament is on home ice.
Hockey Canada creates an environment, starting with the selection camp, in which everything is so ramped up, each practice is so intense and with meaningless exhibition games sold out and televised. The players get amped before the tournament even starts.
It's comparable to a sugar high. It's awfully hard to sustain the same energy level for over two weeks. It's an especially tough atmosphere for goalies and there's bound to be a crash at some point.
And it came at the worst possible time, with a near-storybook comeback glossing over the hard-to-stomach reality that a team like Canada had fallen behind 6-1 in the first place.
Sure, there hasn't been a Patrick Roy-like talent in Canadian garb for some time.
And it's a little startling that in the 20-team Ontario Hockey League where Wedgewood and Visentin play, half of the starting netminders are non-Canadians.
But the problem isn't so much in numbers of goalies or their development.
Nine of the top 10 goalies from the Quebec league are from that province. British Columbia leads the way in producing its stoppers in the Western league.
There are plenty of kids from coast to coast who don the pads, rise to the AAA ranks and play in the Hockey Canada program. There are lots of instructors who fill their schools with budding goalies.
Stars just don't come around all the time, and in the goalie trade, it takes a special person to last in the game for several years.
The odds of producing a Sidney Crosby are way better than a Terry Sawchuk, because there are five skaters on a team at one time, and only one goaltender.
But you don't always need a star in net to win the world juniors. You need someone to rise to the occasion.
Canada hasn't had it happen in a while.
Pressure isn't always power.

Lenalidomide causes selective degradation of IKZF1 and IKZF3 in multiple myeloma cells.
Brigham and Women's Hospital, Boston, MA 02115, USA.
Lenalidomide is a drug with clinical efficacy in multiple myeloma and other B cell neoplasms, but its mechanism of action is unknown. Using quantitative proteomics, we found that lenalidomide causes selective ubiquitination and degradation of two lymphoid transcription factors, IKZF1 and IKZF3, by the CRBN-CRL4 ubiquitin ligase. IKZF1 and IKZF3 are essential transcription factors in multiple myeloma. A single amino acid substitution of IKZF3 conferred resistance to lenalidomide-induced degradation and rescued lenalidomide-induced inhibition of cell growth. Similarly, we found that lenalidomide-induced interleukin-2 production in T cells is due to depletion of IKZF1 and IKZF3. These findings reveal a previously unknown mechanism of action for a therapeutic agent: alteration of the activity of an E3 ubiquitin ligase, leading to selective degradation of specific targets.

The Sheridan Area Water Supply Joint Powers Board is still pondering what to do about the Administrator position. The Board agreed to form a sub-committee that will work on the County's proposal that was brought forth last month. SAWS Board Member Steve Maier is on that sub-committee and he feels confident that they'll get things ironed out in the next month.
Under the current proposal, SAWS would save over $53,000 annually.
The County's proposal would assign the administrative responsibilities of SAWS to County Public Works Director Rod Liesinger, who would be assisted by the SAWS Project Manager, which would be a new position. The Project Manager would perform the day-to-day SAWS administrative responsibilities.
That's funny ron, Meier has
That's funny ron, Meier has commented several times that if the administrator positions are done away with then the city will become the governing body of saws.I don't believe there's a hidden agenda either.It's real clear kinskey wants sole control of saws.
I'm not wrong on patterson,he's got a meeting that started today at 4pm in the city council meeting room.Maybe you guys can cover some of the hoops that were jumped through so he can get this building done.If you recall the planning and DRB boards all said they wouldn't hold a special meeting,yet here we are in a special meeting anyway.
Yes ron the county is trying
Yes ron the county is trying to get the administrative end of saws in their hands,because if they don't and the admin positions are eliminated,then the city is in charge of saws.
So what did planning and DRB back out of the meeting today after they realized it was going to be nothing but a ron patterson discusion hour?
Sheridan media needs to look
Sheridan media needs to look into what happens if the administrative position is not filled.
Statutes governing SAWS states that if an administrator is not assigned to saws,then the city becomes the entity in sole charge of SAWS.In other words kinskey is in charge.Which is exactly what he wants and why the appointment of this administrator has been drawn out by the city.
The SAWS bylaws clearly
The SAWS bylaws clearly state that the city will become the governing entity,in the advent that the administrator position is not filled.Kinskey and friends can make any statement they want about their intentions.However the law reads other wise.

Mark Duggan was not holding gun but was 'lawfully' killed by police marksman
FATHER-of-six Mark Duggan was lawfully killed when he was shot dead by a police marksman, a jury has found.
The 29-year-old, whose death sparked protests that exploded into riots and looting across the country, was gunned down when police stopped the taxi in which he was travelling in Tottenham, north London, in August 2011.
He was being followed by officers who believed he planned to pick up a gun from another man and then move on to Broadwater Farm, also in Tottenham.
Yesterday jurors at the Royal Courts of Justice concluded that he had been lawfully killed by police.
The jury said that Mr Duggan had a gun in the taxi with him before it was stopped, and by a majority of nine to one that it was more likely than not that he had thrown it onto a grassy area near the scene as soon as the car was stopped.
Eight jurors said that they were sure that he did not have a gun in his hand when he was shot.
The panel of seven women and three men said that police had not done enough to gather and react to intelligence about the possibility of Mr Duggan collecting a gun from Hutchinson-Foster.
But they found that the car had been stopped in a location and in a way that "minimised to the greatest extent possible recourse to lethal force".
Security staff were called as supporters of the family threw furniture and signs around, shouting "murderers" and "swarm the courts".
Speaking after the verdict, Mr Duggan's aunt Carole Duggan said: "The majority of the people in this country know that Mark was executed.
"We are going to fight until we have no breath left in our body for Mark and his children."
Vowing not to give up, she added: "No justice, no peace."
The father-of-six's brother Shaun Hall said: "We came for justice today, we don't feel we are leaving with justice.
"We have got nothing to hide, we have done nothing wrong. We will still fight for justice."
Outside the High Court, the family's solicitor Marcia Willis Stewart said: "In August 2011 an unarmed man was shot down in Tottenham. Today we have had what we can only call a perverse judgment.
"The jury found that he had no gun in his hand and yet he was gunned down. For us that's an unlawful killing."
As her words were interspersed with shouting from a gathered crowd, she went on: "The family are in a state of shock and we would ask that you respect their shock.
"They can't believe that this has been the outcome. No gun in his hand and yet he was killed - murdered as they have said, no gun in his hand."
The sentiment was echoed by Labour MP Diane Abbott, who tweeted: "If the #duggan jury believe that he did not have a gun in his hand when he was shot, how can they find it was a lawful killing? #baffled".
The message prompted former Conservative MP Louise Mensch to respond: "Labour's police-blaming over the tragic death of an armed, gun-toting gang member reminds me again why I am a Conservative. £Duggan".
Earlier she tweeted: "Don't carry a gun. Don't carry a knife. Don't risk your life as well as others'. Labour MPs like @HackneyAbbott totally out of touch £Duggan."
Deborah Coles, from the charity Inquest, said Mr Duggan's family were considering whether to apply for the decision to be judicially reviewed.
"The family are going to consider the next steps and are going to consider whether they will judicially review the decision.
"As far as the family and the community are concerned this isn't the end. They will continue to strive for justice."
Every time I see a police car my heart beats and I think, could that be the one who killed my son?
Assistant Commissioner Mark Rowley said: "No officer sets out at the start of the day to run an operation that results in someone dying.
"So our sympathy today is with Mark Duggan's family. They have lost a loved one.
"But the task our officers face in making split-second decisions when confronting armed criminals means there is a risk - a very small risk - that this will happen.
"Armed criminals have shot dead more than 50 people in London in the last three-and-a-half years.
"We send out well-trained, professional armed officers thousands of times a year to combat this threat, only firing shots once or twice. These careful tactics have significantly reduced gun crime.
"It is significant, then, that a jury of Londoners, who have seen and heard all the evidence, have today concluded that not only was the operation to stop Mark Duggan in the taxi conducted in a way which minimised to the greatest extent possible recourse to lethal force, but that Mark Duggan had a gun, and also that our officer had an honest and reasonable belief that Mark Duggan still had the gun when he shot him.
"We know the trust is not shared by everyone. I will be offering to meet Mark Duggan's family to express our sorrow. And we will continue working with local leaders to strengthen relationships. We know it will take time."
The death of Mr Duggan, who was the nephew of infamous Manchester gangland boss Desmon Noonan, resulted in local protests which escalated into violent riots which spread throughout London and across the country.
Mr Duggan, who was described after his death as a known drug dealer and "major player" in the gang scene of North London, was under surveillance by police who suspected him of planning to avenge his cousin's murder earlier in the year.
In January 2013, Kevin Hutchinson-Foster was convicted on re-trial of supplying Mr Duggan with a handgun, which police allege he received 15 minutes before he was shot.
During the trial, an unnamed firearms officer said police opened fire on Mr Duggan after he jumped out of the taxi he was traveling while pulling the pistol from his waistband.
However, no weapon was found on Duggan's body, and the story involving his death has undergone numerous changes in the following years.
An unidentified witness gave evidence to the inquest claiming that Mr Duggan was raising his hands in surrender as he exited the taxi, and that he was "definitely" holding a phone instead of a gun.
This has lead to Duggan's family - who deny claims that Duggan was involved in criminal activity and gangs - accusing the police of misconduct.
At the centre of the inquest was the issue of a handgun, which police say was found 10 to 20 feet from Mr Duggan's body and on the other side of park railings.
Police denied suggestions from the family's lawyer that they had planted the gun, which was wrapped in a sock and had no trace of Mr Duggan's DNA or fingerprints.
However, his prints were found on a shoebox police said had been used to carry the gun inside the minicab.
In the aftermath of his death, thousands of people rioted around London and across the country between August 6 and 11, leading to two deaths in the capital and the deaths of three men in Birmingham in a hit-and-run.
At least 100 homes were destroyed as arson and looting took hold, and insurers estimated the costs to run to over £200 million. The landmark Carpetright in Tottenham was one of the high profile buildings destroyed by fire.
More than 3,100 people were arrested in the wake of the riots, of which over 1,100 appeared in court, with many receiving hefty sentences for minor thefts.
The mother of Mr Duggan, who is fighting cancer for a second time, has branded Scotland Yard "bullies" and said she will never again trust the police.
Pam Duggan, 55, worries that her surviving son Marlon could be targeted by officers who she believes are "trigger happy".
She said: "My son was killed by police who we are supposed to trust and call when we need help. When I need help now, I can't call anyone, because I'm not calling them.
"I hope to God I don't have to need them, because every time I see a police car my heart beats and I think, could that be the one who killed my son?"
Police had been placed on a "heightened state of readiness" for disorder after the verdict of the inquiry today.
Scotland Yard said there would be no visible increase in police numbers on the streets but reinforcements would be on hand if there was any signs of trouble on the scale seen two years ago.
It was also revealed that London's armed police are to be given body-worn video cameras to try and restore public trust following the disputed evidence surrounding the shooting.
Scotland Yard said that fighting gun crime will always carry the risk that innocent people could be shot and killed, but said that equipping officers with video cameras would help cut out "opinions and conjecture" similar to those that have plagued the Duggan investigation.

Over the weekend, US and Yemeni forces staged "massive and unprecedented" attacks against al-Qaeda forces based in Yemen.
This story is based on a radio interview. Listen to the full interview.
"These strikes involved drones from the US," says Gregory Johnsen, a national security fellow at BuzzFeed. "According to recent reports, US special forces were involved in ferrying some Yemeni counter-terrorism units ... in order to carry out raids. There were also air strikes on a suspected al-Qaeda training camp."
Johnsen believes "this is the most intense, most concentrated and most sustained period of strikes in Yemen since President Obama first took office."
But he says it is hard to know exactly what occurred because the operations are considered covert and officials don't provide specific information on them.
"So this leads to a lot of confusion," he says, "a lot of uncertainty about what actually took place. What we know for sure is that there were several strikes and a number of people are killed." The US and Yemeni government say 55 to 65 "militants" were killed.
It's not clear if the dead include any high-ranking leaders, though it is rumored that Nasir al-Wuhayshi, a former aide to Osama Bin Laden, and Ibrahim al-Asiri, al-Qaeda's chief bomb-maker, were among the targets. DNA tests are being performed on the bodies.
In a video released last week, al-Wuhayshi was seen pledging to fight Western "crusaders." That might be one explanation for the timing of the strike, Johnsen says, but the timing could also have been linked to new intelligence regarding top-level militants.
What is confusing is that the US claims to have nearly defeated al-Qaeda. President Obama said that the group was a shadow of its former self in his latest State of the Union speech, and yet, recent videos show al-Qaeda militants meeting in the open in Yemen.
Johnsen believes the US government has done a poor job of explaining the war against al-Qaeda. "There is this tendency," he says, "to either view al-Qaeda as being almost defeated or al-Qaeda as being ascendent. And I think what US government officials should be doing is really talking about the changing nature of the threat."
Johnsen, who wrote the book The Last Refuge: Yemen, al-Qaeda and America's War in Arabia, says al-Qaeda has changed since those first years after 9/11.
"So what is considered al-Qaeda Central, in Afghanistan and Pakistan, that organization has been decimated by drone strikes, by US raids and by the war in Afghanistan," he says. "But as the US has done such a good job in those places, al-Qaeda is cropping up in places like Yemen, in Libya, in Iraq, in other places around the Middle East."
He says what worries many people is that "the US has been bombing Yemen now going on five years on a pretty steady basis, but ... the organization itself seems to be growing stronger in spite of all the bombs."

Sen.Young Calls for Resignation of OCFS Commissioner Gladys Carrion
Senator will also conduct a hearing to further investigate the incident
as well as reports of increased violence against staff at state youth facilities
ALBANY - State Senator Catharine Young (R,I,C-Olean) today called for the immediate resignation of New York State Office of Children and Family Services Commissioner Gladys Carrion for sanctioning a state taxpayer-funded orgy that took place during a dance at a youth facility that houses killers and other violent criminals. At least one underage girl and a suspected prostitute were brought into the juvenile prison and performed a lap dance and possibly, other sexual acts.
Senator Young also announced that she will be conducting a hearing in Albany to further investigate the incident, as well as reports of violent youths being released prematurely into less secure settings where they have murdered and viciously assaulted community members, and of numerous attacks by youths against OCFS staffers who work at state-run facilities.
"It is shocking and outrageous that teenage girls are being escorted at the taxpayers' expense into youth prisons. These are gang members and hardened criminals convicted as adults for violent crimes such as rape, murder and armed robbery. They are being rewarded by having girls brought to them for their personal entertainment, including sex acts," Senator Young said.
"We have an unprecedented fiscal crisis in our state, and our overburdened taxpayers are paying for this type of garbage? It's deplorable," Senator Young said.
Currently, there are three state agency investigations into the incident, which is six months old.
"We need action. Under Commissioner Carrion's direction, the entire juvenile justice system is spinning out of control. As a direct result of her radical policies, many innocent people are being hurt, or worse," Senator Young said.
The New York Post today reported on the outlandish "social" that took place at Goshen Secure Center in Orange County on December 12, 2009. Girls as young as 15 were transported into the prison to attend the dance with convicted killers and other dangerous criminals. A lap dance was videotaped by a surveillance camera and other sexual acts possibly were committed.
One prison employee, Tony Collado, said that he was ordered to drive two women invited to the dance in a state car from a street corner in Albany to Goshen and back -- a distance of 230 miles round trip.
"My complaints to the higher-ups about what happened at this dance were ignored. Things are spinning out of control at Goshen and I know other facilities are having similar problems. I've been hit with phone receivers, punched in the face on numerous occasions and some of my fellow workers have been on the opposite end of much worse. What happened at this dance was the last straw and I felt that coming forward was the right thing to do. Both the staff and residents should not be exposed to this type of stuff" said Mr. Collado.
Last summer, Senator Young paid an unannounced visit to a "social" at the Brookwood Secure Center for youths in Columbia County and said she was shocked to learn that the inmates were allowed to invite young women into the facility for a dance.
Senator Young is the Chair of the Special Legislative Task Force on Reform of the New York State Juvenile Justice System. The Task Force was formed to address a growing concern by community members, youth facility staff, and law enforcement officials who cited the closure of 14 youth facilities and reporting centers throughout the state, along with newly-implemented policies set forth by OCFS, as the reason for a spike in youth violence.
Task force members have pointed to a number of incidents around the state as examples of disturbing emerging trends in relation to violent youths and residential services. Last June, 24-year-old Renee Greco, an employee at a community youth home in Lockport, New York, was brutally beaten to death by two teenage residents who had been prematurely released from more secure state facilities.
In February 2009, 23-year-old Rochester Police Officer Anthony DiPonzio was shot in the head by a juvenile who was AWOL from a private residential community placement.
A worker at the state-operated Tryon Residential Center in Johnstown, New York suffered a stroke and died a month after he was struck in the head with a wooden club by a youth. Months after the incident, several employees sought and obtained orders of protection so they could come to work.
"In my over 17 years at the District Attorney's Office, I have watched well intentioned policies evolve to protect residents from excessive use of force by staff members, and these models may appear good on paper," Fulton County District Attorney Louise Sira said. "While I am not an expert in child psychology, I am ever mindful of the fact that these youths are in placement for violent offenses, and the execution of the models currently in place has resulted in a marked increase in violence on staff."
Senator Young submitted a Freedom of Information Law request to OCFS last November regarding increased gang membership of residents, violent incidents in facilities by residents and staff assaults, but has been stonewalled by agency officials. Assembly Member Rory Lancman recently released a report that found OCFS workplace injury rates among the highest of any state agency, and that workers' compensation incident rates at state-operated youth residential facilities have increased by 33 percent in the past year. The report further concluded that Commissioner Carrion and the OCFS administration have neglected workplace safety as part of the agency's policy changes which has increasingly put staff at risk.
CSEA President Danny Donohue, "Under Commissioner Gladys Carrion's tenure we have seen an aggressive lip service for reform while action has consisted of undermining services and employees by failing to provide adequate training, resources and other help – she has failed the youth, she has failed the staff and she has failed the taxpayers."
"This latest report of an administration-facilitated sex party is outrageous and offensive in every way and demonstrates her reform philosophy is also totally misguided," Donohue said. "Coupled with last week's Assembly report detailing the increasing risk to staff in OCFS facilities, it is clear the Commissioner must go."
Kenneth Brynien, President of the New York State Public Employees Federation (PEF), said "Rest assured, Commissioner Carrion will once again point the finger at members of her own staff rather than take responsibility for her actions. It was Carrion who showed extraordinarily bad judgment by promoting a party for juveniles who have been confined for criminal offenses.
"This is another example of the failed policies of Commissioner Carrion which have also led to increased violent situations for youths and staff at facilities across the state," Brynien added. "PEF has been documenting injuries to our members at OCFS facilities and has repeatedly reached out to the commissioner and governor for policy changes. Clearly the sex party is the last straw and Carrion must be held accountable."
Members of the Task Force include Senators Joseph Robach, George Maziarz, Hugh Farley, William Larkin, Michael Nozzolio, John Bonacic and Marty Golden.
Senator Bill Larkin (R,C- Cornwall-on-Hudson) said, "The allegations raised in today's New York Post article are some of the most shocking I've heard in a long time. It is unconscionable that an event like this was allowed to take place in a state facility, much less at the taxpayers' expense. The Office of Children and Family Services must be held accountable for their actions and I look forward to their attendance at our Task Force hearing to explain how things deteriorated to this level," said Larkin.
Senator Hugh T. Farley (R,C – Schenectady) said, "Policy changes, and a lack of leadership, have endangered both the staff and the residents at OCFS facilities. Many hard-working staff feel abandoned and betrayed by the leadership at OCFS. Also, I remain alarmed by the proposed downsizing of facilities and the unrealistic policy shift toward less secure community residences. These residences will not provide the services and oversight that are needed, and they raise troubling concerns for the communities that will be affected."
Senator Marty Golden (R,C,I – Brooklyn) said, "The Office of Children and Family Services is like the Wild West. There are no guidelines, rules, or respect for the Law. Only by having Commissioner resign right now, can we restore integrity to an agency who is responsible for the supervision of some of New York State's most hardened juvenile criminals. We can only "clean up Dodge," by bringing in a new sheriff – a new commissioner," said Senator Marty Golden.
State Senator John Bonacic (R,I,C - Mt. Hope) said "The repeated, shocking, and sometimes tragic incidents occurring at OCFS facilities demonstrate a culture of incompetence by the agency administration. Rank and file employees at these facilities often work in the fear of either physical or other job related threat. We need to overhaul OCFS starting at the top."
State Senator Mike Nozzolio (R,C – Fayette) said, "During these difficult economic times, while our hardworking taxpayers are struggling to make ends meet, it is simply unconscionable that taxpayer dollars are being wasted on outrageous and illegal entertainment for violent felons. The ineffective new policies that have been implemented at OCFS are clearly more concerned with the luxuries of convicted criminals than protecting staff and taxpayers. Because of these irresponsible policy changes, crime rates will undoubtedly increase and the safety of our communities will be jeopardized. We must correct this dangerous mistake before even more tragedy occurs."
Senator Dale M. Volker (R,C,I – Depew) said, "It is crystal clear that this is a state agency that is spiraling out -of-control and placing its residents and state personnel in danger," said Senator Dale M. Volker. "There is a systematic failure going on at these state youth detention facilities and drastic action is needed immediately. If nothing is done, more murders, more sex offenses, and more illegal behavior will take place. The taxpayers are paying for this dysfunction within our secure youth detention facilities, and we must demand accountability right away. The job of rehabilitating these young people is so very important. If we fail them now, we fail them later in life as they may again be in contact with the criminal justice system down the road."

Ambiance is chain restaurant-like--but I see from the website that they only have three locations. The service is very good. The selection of beer is outstanding and they rotate taps, so a drinker could never get bored here. The food is very good and reasonably priced, but the price of beer is high--for example, a pint of Carlsberg is $5.50. Overall, it's a pretty good place. It would be nicer if the prices for beer were a bit less expensive.

|Creating an event eats most numbers from the title
I noticed this only recently. When you create an event in Google Calendar from the web, you could earlier set the title to something like "20:00 Dinner", and Calendar would create the "Dinner" event at 20:00. Brilliant in its simplicity.
Later, it also took numbers without the colon: you could create an event "1500 Fishing" and the event would be created with a starting time of 15:00. This was somewhat less desired, because I sometimes want to create events starting with a number with four digits and don't want those to be converted into a time. But so far I could live with that.
However, now it's really broken. If I create an event where the title contains three or four digits, Calendar will consume those digits and try to go smart and guess you meant a time. That is totally undesirable for me, because I never refer to times using three digits. But that's not all, Calendar even eats the rest of the numbers from a title when they can be converted to a time, even when a title was grabbed from an earlier part of the title. You now cannot create those items:
"123 456": event will be planned at 13:23, 456 will disappear (No title)
"1500 ABC 123": event will be planned at 15:00, 123 will disappear (title: ABC)
"1500 123 ABC": event will be planned at 15:00, 123 will disappear (title: ABC)
"123 456 789": event will be planned at 13:23, 456 will disappear (title: 789)
"20:00 456": event will be planned at 20:00, 456 will disappear (No title)
So please revert to only recognizing four digit times, or at least don't eat the rest of the numbers.
|Re: Creating an event eats most numbers from the title
I recently found out that words that point to a part of a day gets converted to a time. Specifically the word 'middag', afternoon in Dutch, disappears from the title and the event is set to a start time of 12:00 PM. I don't want this, especially since I regularly create events like "Look at X this afternoon", which do not want to be planned at 12:00, and the title "Look at X this" doesn't make much sense either.
Can this automagical conversion please become optional?

Bills' dreary performance a ghost of Decembers past
TAMPA, Fla. — Playoffs? Did someone say playoffs? It's hard to believe that just eight days ago, we were seriously contemplating a postseason run by the Bills.
For the first three months, this season did have a different feel. They were in almost every game. They never seemed to quit. Their fortunes finally appeared to be turning in the first year of the Doug Marrone-EJ Manuel era.
But halfway through Sunday's 27-6 loss to the Buccaneers, I experienced a familiar stabbing sensation, one that has hit me in countless dark Decembers over the years. It occurred to me that the team getting humiliated in front of my eyes might be the worst team in the NFL.
You saw the game. You tell me a team they'd beat. Jacksonville? Let's see what the oddsmakers have to say about the Bills at Jags next week. Houston? Put them on a neutral field, with Matt Schaub and EJ Manuel at quarterback, and I like the Texans. Atlanta? Oh, they already lost to the Falcons at "home."
There have been encouraging signs this season. A few plays here and there could have made a world of difference. Still, time never stands still in the NFL.
You judge what's in front of you, and it's hard to see any genuine signs of progress after watching the Bills get shredded by a bad Bucs team.
"We looked like crap," said running back Fred Jackson. "Bottom line. We did not play well."
Really, if they had played a contender, one with a veteran quarterback and more receivers who weren't from Rutgers, the Bills might have lost by 40. They were bad in every possible way. The defense gave up an 80-yard touchdown on the game's second play from scrimmage, and a 38-yard TD pass later in the first quarter.
Jackson and C.J. Spiller combined for 34 yards on 16 carries. Leodis McKelvin fumbled away a punt. The Bills had 11 penalties for 114 yards. Four of the starting offensive linemen had at least one infraction. When Doug Legursky is your shining light, you know you have problems.
"Bad," said Eric Wood, "but you show me any offensive line that played good when you're down 21 points in the second quarter. I'd love to see it."
Wood said the Bucs were able to "tee off" once they got the lead. The Bucs did send extra rushers on some of their seven sacks. They also got pressure with four men at times. And the Bills didn't fall behind by 21 points until the final seconds of the first half.
It's not as if NFL teams aren't capable of making up two-touchdown deficits. Oh wait, didn't the Falcons come back from 14-0 down just one week earlier in the Rogers Centre? Wood admitted the home crowd wasn't any more a factor in Tampa than it had been in Toronto.
The problem, of course, was that Manuel was playing quarterback, and he wasn't up to making the throws on the road. Manuel was awful. He was 18 of 33 for 184 yards, with no touchdowns and four interceptions. It was the first time a Bills quarterback had four picks and zero TDs in a game since Drew Bledsoe in 2004.
At least one of the interceptions wasn't Manuel's fault. Early in the second quarter, Manuel threw a short pass that deflected off Stevie Johnson's hands and was intercepted by linebacker Lavonte David. Asked about it later, Johnson said it was early in the game and "that don't really matter."
In his next breath, Johnson said Marrone talked about accountability after the loss. Johnson said it was important for the players to "get real" with each other. If his idea of getting real is shrugging off a pass that led to an interception, he really doesn't get it. With that sort of leadership, it's no surprise the Bills have struggled to come back from difficult losses.
After the defeat in Toronto, Marrone talked about the importance of bouncing back emotionally. He said it was a big part of a team's evolution. So what happened? His team came out flat, same as it had at Pittsburgh the week after the heartbreaking loss to the Chiefs.
Marrone referred back to the Steelers game. It was clear that he felt his team hadn't learned from the experience, and that the Bills still lacked the resilient quality of a real contender. Against the Bucs, they looked like a team that hadn't gotten over the loss to the Falcons.
"Kansas City was a difficult loss," Marrone said. "I think you earn the right to be upset about it. But the next week, I don't think we bounced back like we should. And I feel the same way today. Did that bother me, that we didn't take that challenge and overcome that? Absolutely. Absolutely, that's bothersome."
For the first time, I saw a little quit in them. They looked like a team that had begun to feel sorry for itself, that made a lot of the same old mistakes and hung its head when things went against them. That's when it started to remind me of past Decembers, when foolish hope turned to jolting reality.
There's plenty of blame to go around. I'd hate to question the legend of Kiko Alonso, but the rookie was late again on a long run, failing to get to Bobby Rainey in time to prevent the longest run and quickest score in Buccaneers history. At least Alonso said it was unacceptable, not that it "didn't matter."
But if we're following a thread from the Steelers game, the common denominator was the play of the rookie quarterback. Manuel dragged them down in Pittsburgh, one week after the K.C. loss. He couldn't make nearly enough big throws to lift them out of their collective funk against the Bucs.
Manuel was outplayed by a fellow rookie, Mike Glennon, who was 9 for 25 for 90 yards. Manuel has now played four road games. He's been terrible in three (Jets, Steelers, Bucs) and gotten hurt in the other (Cleveland). Things will not be truly different for the Bills unless he learns to play well on the road.
He's only a rookie. It takes time. But it was hard to see progress. For the first time, the name "J.P. Losman" crossed my mind. Losman played here in the second week of the '05 season, in his second start. He threw for 113 yards. The Bills gave up 191 yards rushing in a 19-3 loss. Sorry, it's hard not to see parallels.
This was the Bills' first road game since Pittsburgh. Put them side by side and it's not a pretty picture for EJ. It's not fair to put it all on the quarterback, but when a team is young and lacking the confidence to battle through tough times, it doesn't help to have a novice at the most important position.
"It starts with me," Manuel said. "I'm the quarterback. I'm the leader. These guys feed off me, and I'm supposed to be facilitating the ball to these guys. I didn't do a good job today, plain and simple."
Nothing went right for them Sunday. The Bills were late getting out of Tampa because of a mechanical issue with their plane. In five days, they'll turn around and head back to Florida, to resume a season that has quickly gone south.

Backlogging. 8 days ago. Late Saturday night.
The February Backlog: From the 1st to today.
Back at my place that night, I chose this for my late night cup with gaming, online, emails, steepster, etc. Definitely more blueberry when brewed on the lower end of the recommended time but it gets sour when it cools to anything less than lukewarm.

Space Times Square
My friend and colleague, Barry Vacker, has written and directed a new short film, Space Times Square, which was shot entirely from the streets of Times Square, New York. It's an entertaining and enjoyable odyssey with stunning cinematography (for which Barry was also partially responsible) and electronic music that will engage your senses, and thought-provoking philosophical touches that will engage your mind. My hearty congratulations to my pal for a job well done (and remember me when you get the Oscar nomination for "Best Documentary, Short Subject"). Loved it!
The film is narrated by Jamie Lee, and is punctuated by various epigrams from the likes of Jean-Paul Sartre, Marshall McLuhan, Camille Paglia, William Gibson, Carl Sagan, Richard Dawkins, Jean Baudrillard, and Brian Greene. For those familiar with Barry's use of epigrams in various essays, it'll make you feel as if you're reading one of his articles, accompanied by striking visuals and an ambient electronic score.
The sights and sounds of Times Square are featured in a 24-minute trip through an "expanding material universe" and an "expanding media universe," an adventure in "real space and cyber space." As the film synopsis puts it:
Filmed entirely from the streets of Times Square, Space Times Square is a meditative journey through the mediated cosmos of Times Square. Drawing from Jean-Paul Sartre and Marshall McLuhan, the film theorizes Times Square as a microcosm of the electronic big bang -- an expanding media cosmos of voids and nothingnesses, image and information, entertainment and inquisition, iPod people and hive-minds, flash mobs and flat-screens, black holes and vanishing points. Times Square is a galaxy in the global media cosmos, where the circuits of cyberspace converge with the constellations of outer space. Written and directed by Barry Vacker, the film is accompanied by poetic narration and an original musical score by New York musician Brett Sroka.
The film gets its first public screening this week in Philadelphia at the 2007 International Digital Media Arts Conference (iDMAa), which takes place from November 7th through November 10th, 2007. During the four-day conference, the documentary will be screened with several other films each hour as part of an exhibition of digital artworks and films called "Beyond Boundaries, iDEAS 07." It takes place at the Fuel Collection art gallery at 249 Arch Street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (215-592-8400), on Thursday and Friday, November 8-9, 11:00 am - 7:00 pm, and on Friday, November 9, 7:30 am - 9:00 pm (for more on the schedule, see here).
You can take a look at the film's hi-resolution trailer at the website or a low-resolution trailer on Youtube.

Imagine that you're talking to your friend, Wendy. She brings up wine tasting and asks which vineyards you have visited. You politely reply that you don't drink so you've never been. Wendy, however, keeps right on asking you about wine tasting–What type of wine is your favorite? Is it true that red wine tastes better with steak? How about with fish–red, white or what about sparkling? After each question, you reply–"I don't drink!–each time getting more confused and a little bit angrier. What's wrong with Wendy?
Surveys, as we've said before, are like conversations. A good survey, just like a good conversation, would smoothly change the subject from wine to something else as soon as you've made it clear that you don't partake in spirits. How's this accomplished exactly when creating your survey?
Say hello to skip logic!
What's "skip logic"?
Skip logic is a function that lets you program what questions a respondent actually sees in your survey. Basically, it lets respondents skip over questions that don't apply to them based on the answers they provide.
For example, let's say we're a little bored with the Bloody Mary as the go-to brunch cocktail and we want to make up a new one. So we're gonna whip up a survey to find out what kinds of alcoholic and non-alcoholic brunch beverages are the most popular. Including lots of questions about the specific types of alcohol that people like in order to get a more detailed picture of what our cocktail should taste like is important.
Adding skip logic to our survey lets us first ask whether our respondents drink alcohol or not. Their answer will determine which set of questions they see next. For those folks who report that they do not drink alcohol, skip logic would then skip over all of our follow-up questions having to do with alcoholic drinks and they'd land on our next set of questions–the ones about our non-alcoholic brunch beverages. Respondents like Wendy, who do drink, would answer "Yes" and she'd be taken to our set of questions about favorite types of alcohol, and then to the brunch beverage questions.
Why use skip logic?
It keeps the bad data out. If a question doesn't apply to a respondent, he or she won't know how to answer it. So if Joe doesn't own an iPhone, asking him to rate the last five apps from Apple he's downloaded is going to be pretty pointless. Asking an irrelevant question like this will usually result in the respondent giving a random answer which will negatively affect your data quality.
It keeps the good data in. Everyone loves a shorter survey! Giving people fewer questions to complete means higher completion rates and more thoughtful responses. If you want to know about commuter satisfaction with buses and trains and Sue only takes buses, and Frank only takes trains, they're both more likely to finish the survey and give you the thoughtful feedback you're looking for if they only have to answer questions about the kind of public transit they actually use. Respect your respondents' time and the quality (and quantity!) of your data will benefit.
The bottom line. Using skip logic will help you rake in better data AND more of it! It will keep surveys short and respondents engaged. It pretty much solves all your problems, except of course, what to do about your friend, Wendy…
How do I do it? Never fear! We've got a resource page on how to set up Skip Logic in our Help Center. Just click here and we'll walk you through the each of the steps. You'll need a paid account in order to start using this feature for your next survey and if you've any additional questions along the way, don't be shy, just let us know in the Comments below!

AMHERST — The Amherst Police Department has disbanded its K-9 unit, a decision that comes at nearly the same time an officer filed a lawsuit against the city claiming he is owed additional compensation for being a police dog handler.
The lawsuit, filed last month in U.S. District Court, alleges that by not paying Officer Joshua McCoy for the additional work he does with Buddy, the German shepherd he was partnered with in 2010, Amherst is in violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act.
McCoy has been with the department since October 2005 and has worked exclusively with Buddy in recent years.
The lawsuit contends McCoy has consistently worked beyond 40 hours a week in that role without overtime wages or additional compensation.
In addition to police duties, McCoy does many tasks with and for Buddy to ensure he is ready for police service at all time.
It is the time spent on those activities, such as feeding, grooming, walking and training, which are the basis for the lawsuit.
But it looks like Buddy's role as an Amherst police dog has come to an end. As of Jan. 1, Police Chief Joseph Kucirek elected to disband the K-9 unit.
Amherst Law Director Anthony Pecora said the decision was made prior to the lawsuit being filed. It became effective Jan. 1.
"I know the allegation was made that this was done because of the lawsuit, but this is something the chief has been contemplating for some time," Pecora said. "From my understanding, the chief has been looking at the need for a K-9 officer for some time."
Kucirek was on vacation and not available for comment. In his absence, police Lt. Dan Jasinski said the department was referring all comment to the Amherst Law Department.
McCoy's attorney, Jason Bristol, said the chief's decision, which didn't officially come down until several days after the lawsuit was filed, is being investigated as possible retaliation against the officer.
"I'm surprised by the city's response. A Fair Labor Standards lawsuit is a pretty routine thing when there is a dispute about wages," Bristol said. "The city's response is what makes this controversial. But the citizens are the ones who are losing the most because K-9 officers are very effective policing tools."
Pecora said he could not comment on the lawsuit as the city has not been formally served.
He and Mayor David Taylor are aware of its filing.
"But I can say the city has been trying to resolve any issues of compensation with the officer prior to the filing of the lawsuit," Pecora said. "The city has been attempting to work with the union to negotiate some sort of agreement. The union has not engaged the city despite numerous requests."
Bristol said the agreement the city sought to have McCoy sign was far below the industry standard for the type of work K-9 officers perform and the stipulations still would have violated the labor act.
"Usually the law looks at what the reasonable amount of time is to perform the type of care the dog needs," he said. "Some say it's an additional eight hours and others say more time is appropriate."
Bristol said compensation has not always been an issue for McCoy.
He said there was a written agreement in place when he was first partnered with Buddy that former Police Chief Lonnie Dillon was more flexible in enforcing.
Kucirek, who took over in January 2011, elected to take a different path in terms of compensation, Bristol said.
"But having a police dog live in your home is different than having a pet. To say Buddy is just a dog does not do him justice," Bristol said. "He and Officer McCoy are expected to be ready and available for police service at a moment's notice."
State law stipulates that McCoy now has the first right to purchase Buddy from Amherst for $1. Both Pecora and Bristol said the officer is taking steps to assume ownership of Buddy.

Experts Call for Changing Swine Flu Vaccine in Israel to Quell Fears
According to the Health Ministry, 204 people have been hospitalized with serious cases of swine flu.
Following the death of another pregnant woman from H1N1 influenza (swine flu) Monday, the national task force on epidemiology recommended that all Israelis be offered the option of receiving the vaccine without an adjuvant, an additive that bolsters the immune system's response.
Monday's fatality, a 40-year-old woman from the south of the country who suffered from chronic asthma, was the 77th Israeli to die of swine flu and the third pregnant woman. She was hospitalized with the disease a month ago, while in her 32nd week of pregnancy.
As her condition worsened, doctors at Soroka Medical Center in Be'er Sheva decided to perform a Caesarean section in order to save the baby. The baby was born healthy and was discharged from the hospital.
According to the Health Ministry, 204 people have thus far been hospitalized with serious cases of swine flu, including 15 pregnant women, while 9,789 people have been definitely diagnosed with the disease, including 395 pregnant women.
The ministry bought enough vaccine to immunize all seven million Israelis, but only 225,364 have actually received the vaccine. Even among healthcare workers, only 47,272 - fewer than a third - have been immunized, though the vaccination campaign for this group began in early November. For the general public, the campaign began only eight days ago.
Moreover, only 362 pregnant women have thus far been vaccinated, even though they are considered a high-risk population - and they, unlike most other Israelis, are entitled to receive a version of the vaccine that does not contain adjuvants.
The task force concluded that fear of adjuvants may be deterring some people from getting vaccinated. While vaccines with adjuvants have been used for years in Europe and Canada, they have yet to be approved for use in the United States, leading some Israelis to fear they are less safe.
The recommendation still needs Health Ministry approval, but that is expected to be granted quickly. Thus distribution of large quantities of adjuvant-free vaccine to clinics nationwide is expected to begin within the next few days.
Prof. Dan Engelhard, who chairs the task force, said vaccine with an adjuvant is recommended for most people because it provides more protection against the disease.
The ministry said only 69 Israelis have reported side effects from the vaccine, and most of them have been very mild.

The Wasatch Front Regional Council is pleased to announce the projects that have been awarded assistance through the Transportation and Land Use Connection (TLC) program for 2016-2017.
Town of Alta, Alta Commercial Core Implementation Plan: TLC Resources: $50,000 Local Match: $10,000
The Town of Alta is a small, unique mountain community that has proudly maintained a less-developed character since its inception as a ski area destination. The layout of commercial facilities and infrastructure in Alta's "commercial core" has not changed significantly in several decades. Through the Mountain Accord process, a wide range of public agencies are considering proposals for transportation and land use in the Central Wasatch Mountains that could significantly change how locals and visitors access and experience the town. The Alta Commercial Core Implementation Plan project will develop policies that improve transportation circulation and parking regulation in the area. The project will also develop a better understanding of the existing and future commercial markets.
Bluffdale City, Transportation Master Plan: TLC Resources: $55,000 Local Match: $10,000
This project will update Bluffdale City's Transportation Master Plan with a focus on its expanding bicycle network. Bluffdale City is a crossroads of many regional transportation networks, including I-15, Bangerter Highway, and the Jordan River Parkway. This plan will comprehensively address multi-modal transportation needs for roads, biking and walking. The new plan will result in a safer, healthier transportation network that provides choices for how people get around the community and reduces the amount of single-occupant drivers on the road.Source: Christopher Illustration
Salt Lake City/South Salt Lake City, Life on State Implementation Plan: TLC Resources: $165,000 Local Match: $45,000
This collaborative project will help to implement the Life on State Vision for sections of State Street through Salt Lake City and South Salt Lake City. The project seeks to update and refine that vision through to an implementation plan that emphasizes the importance of community design and transportation connectivity along the corridor. The planning and design process will analyze mobility issues for all modes and propose public spaces, land uses, and street designs. Investment in this important public corridor will promote economic development, improve transportation options, and enhance social experience. The project will provide the guiding framework to establish State Street as the region's model "great street."
Kearns Township, Community Center (A Placed Based Initiative) Master Site Plan: TLC Resources: $60,000 Local Match: $20,000
Salt Lake County has identified Kearns as the first "Placed Based Initiative." The Community Center Master Site Plan project will develop a master plan for the community center near 5400 South. This master plan will create a blueprint for a vibrant gathering place that includes opportunities for a community campus and retail and commercial space. This plan will include robust public involvement, address safety and circulation of cyclists and pedestrians, recommend transportation improvements, propose urban design treatments, and recommend zoning updates. Ultimately, this project will help to revitalize the area to create a robust gathering place for education, community services, and events that improve the lives community members and the region.Source: Christopher Illustration
West Valley City, Hunter Town Center Small Area Plan, Market Study and Form Based Code: TLC Resources: $65,000 Local Match: $10,000
The Hunter Town Center is currently designated as a Town Center on the Wasatch Choice Vision. Implementing the Vision in this area will result in regional benefits such as improved air quality, reduced congestion, and job creation. The City has recently set the stage for a comprehensive area plan, which will include a vision and market study, amend the future land use map, and restructure land use using a form based code. The updated ordinance and plan will help West Valley City create a desired livable community, focusing growth and mixed use development within a town center.
Sandy City and Surrounding Communities, Point of the Mountain: TLC Resources: $80,000 Local Match: TBD
The Point of the Mountain area in southern Salt Lake County/northern Utah County is well-situated to become an economic powerhouse for the growing high-tech industry. To sustain this economic growth, the area will need community design and high-functioning infrastructure that is attractive to skilled workers. This will include a wide variety of housing and transportation choices, and access to area amenities. This project will bring together local elected officials and staff from cities and counties in the area, private sector stakeholders, and others to establish a plan for the future regarding economic development, land use, and transportation options. With the right vision and implementation strategy, this location will generate economic growth that helps to improve air quality, support economic development, and ultimately enhance quality of life.
Bountiful City & Davis County, South Davis Bus Rapid Transit Corridor Planning and Form Based Cade: TLC Resources: $65,000 Local Match: $15,000
Bountiful City and Davis County will collaboratively develop a vision for land use along U.S. 89 in anticipation of future Bus Rapid Transit construction and other transportation investments along the corridor. The project will also include a form based code ordinance that will implement the newly created Bountiful City vision. The form based code will allow the city to take advantage of the land use opportunities generated by the anticipated transportation investment. The project will develop implementable policies, provide travel choices, and help to create vibrant, walkable areas near future transit stations.Source: Christopher Illustration
Farmington City, Central Davis County Pedestrian and Bicycle Linkage Study: TLC Resources: $35,000 Local Match: $6,250
Farmington City has an incredible opportunity to be a regional hub that promotes walkability. This project will facilitate pedestrian accessibility by identifying connectivity improvements around the FrontRunner Station, Lagoon, downtown, and the surrounding neighborhoods. The project will also assess the feasibility of biking and walking connections across the major north-south corridors such as I-15, US-89, and the Union Pacific Railroad. The project will help to improve safety, facilitate active living with residents and visitors, improve air quality, and reduce the amount of single-occupant drivers on the road.
North Ogden City, Complete Streets Policy: Morgan/Weber Health Department Resources: $5,000 Local Match: $2,500
North Ogden City has invested in a multi-modal transportation system that provides choices for how residents get around. This project will help the city develop a complete streets policy that will leverage past and future transportation investments so that streets in the city are designed and operated in a way that promotes safe, convenient and comfortable travel for all users.
South Ogden City, Form Based Code and Complete Streets Policy: TLC Resources: $10,000 Morgan/Weber Health Department Resources: $5,000 Local Match: $5,000
With 95 percent of South Ogden already developed, the city anticipates very little residential growth in the coming years. The last remaining development and redevelopment opportunities are critical to community quality of life and sustainability. Future development will be focused on revitalizing commercial sections. To ensure the design of this development is attractive and efficient, the project will develop a form based code and complete streets policy. The complete streets policy will allow the city to consider different users of the transportation system when making investments, including pedestrians, cyclists, and users of public transportation.
Pleasant View City & Farr West City, 2700 North Corridor Form Based Code: TLC Resources: $40,000 Local Match: $20,000
With the recent completion of a corridor study along 2700 North, Pleasant View City and Farr West City are looking to implement the plan for a mixed-use center through a form based code ordinance. Both cities recognize the growing demand for better commercial design and a well-functioning transportation system that improves mobility between the two cities. The purpose of this project is to encourage mixed use development near the FrontRunner Station and US-89.
Roy City & Weber County, Redevelopment Livability Study, Roy Station Area Plan and Complete Streets Policy: TLC Resources: $75,000, Morgan /Weber Health Department Resources: $5,000 Local Match: $7,500
This project will develop specific implementation strategies for economic development, housing and transportation choices, and other infrastructure improvements. Weber County will support the city's effort to encourage local and regional prosperity. The project will include a station area plan that explores alternative land development strategies and transportation options around the FrontRunner Station. Roy City will utilize robust market analysis strategies to evaluate the connection between transportation, land use, and economic development in a way that allows the private sector to flourish while still preserving the community character and quality of life that residents enjoy.Source: Christopher Illustration

The intense cold that descended on Kansas City yesterday and preemptively forced the closure of every public school district in Johnson County will bring the lowest windchills to the area seen in 20 years.
The National Weather Service is predicting temperatures today will bring windchills of between -25 and -40 to the region. Though the day's high could reach 8 degrees in northeast Johnson County, the actual temperature as of 7 a.m. was -7, with a windchill of -24.
Though the temperatures are sure to shockingly bitter, they may not end up breaking any records. Kansas City hasn't had a day where the high temperature has been 5 degrees or colder since Jan. 4, 1999, and it's gone 8,781 days without a high temperature of 0 or below. The record low for Jan. 6 in the area is -13, set in 1912. (FWIW, the record high was 64, set in 1939).
The Weather Service is reminding people that the extreme temperatures pose a risk to people and pets who can develop hypothermia or frostbite if exposed to the elements for any extended length of time. The temperatures also increase the likelihood that water pipes in houses and fuel lines in cars could freeze.
In Johnson County, the public libraries will serve as warming centers, and are open to the public during normal business hours. For more information, call 913-826-4600.
