Stalk-chopping corn heads, commonplace in Europe, are becoming increasingly popular in the U.S. as a way to manage the growing mounds of crop residue. Tougher, higher-yielding genetically modified crops, coupled with reduced-tillage practices and corn on corn, have resulted in more cornstalks in fields.
Chopping the stalks into 6- to 8-in. pieces can help them decompose and flow better through planting and tillage equipment. But rather than relying on tractor-pulled stalk choppers, which require a separate field pass, a growing number of farmers are opting to buy corn heads with integrated stalk choppers that can both harvest corn and chop the stalks at the same time while combining.
"By using a chopping corn head in place of a conventional stalk chopper, there is an opportunity to economize as much as $20,000 on machinery as well as fuel and staff savings, not to mention less ground compaction," says Peter Stark, managing director of Fantini North America.
Matthew Digman, an agricultural engineer at the University of Wisconsin–Madison, says most brands of chopping corn heads work about the same. Rotating blades, similar to those in a rotary mower, are mounted under each row unit behind the stalk rollers and are powered by the row-unit gearbox (see bottom left photo, Method One). Stalks are cut off and chopped up, leaving a blunt or shattered stem standing in the field.
"Geringhoff and Cressoni have a different take on how to chop the stalk," Digman explains. "Stalks are chopped off at an angle, and the remaining stubble is vertically spliced open in an effort to further promote decay" (see bottom right photo, Method Two).
Chopping corn heads add weight to the combine and require more horsepower than a standard corn head. Estimates range from 1.5 to 7 hp/row, depending on conditions. Digman advises farmers to factor in the exact power required, and subsequent impact on combine productivity, and to review their current residue management practices before making a buying decision.

BRUSSELS (AP) — Four members of the European Parliament, on their way to study human rights in Western Sahara, have been denied entry to Morocco.
They were headed for Laayoune, a city in a part of mineral-rich Western Sahara annexed by Morocco in 1975. The legislators had announced their plans in a letter to the Moroccan ambassador to the European Union on Feb. 25.
The ambassador's reply, dated March 5, arrived while the parliamentarians were already in transit, the leader of the delegation said Thursday. The ambassador's letter said the members of Parliament held "excessive politicized views against the interests of Morocco." It went on to say that Morocco did not expect the visit could "provide an objective, credible report," and the visit would not be welcomed.
Ivo Vajgl, of Slovenia, the leader of the delegation, said the four landed Wednesday in Casablanca, where they were met by local police, refused entry and put back on their planes.
"It was humiliating," Vajgl said. "It was absolutely unacceptable. It was a demonstration of totalitarian disregard of decency and democratic standards."
He objected strongly to the ambassador's letter and called for him to be banned from the European Parliament. He said the aim of the visit had been to meet with representatives of civil society and with local Moroccan authorities, as well.
European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso visited Morocco on March 1-2. Following meetings with Moroccan officials, Barroso praised the political, economic and social reforms the country had made. He added that relations between the North African country and the EU were excellent and would soon develop further with the negotiation of a free-trade agreement.
A spokeswoman for Barroso had no immediate comment Thursday on the expulsions.
The Moroccan Interior Ministry, Foreign Ministry and Communications Ministry did not respond to requests for comment on the incident.

In January of 2007, Aaron Newton, my friend and co-author of A Nation of Farmers came to Albany for four days of intense work on our book. We barely ate, slept or left the house, since we knew it would be the only chance the two of us had to hash everything out. Perhaps the single most intense moment for me, at least, was the conversation Aaron and I had about the central chapter of the book – the one that answered the question "Can we actually feed the 9+ billion people expected to live on this planet without lots of fossil fueled inputs?" This was the question answered by Tuesday's release of the UN Special Report on the Right to Food, to much public discussion.
The report is a good one, and an important one. Among other things, it is perhaps the first major report in UN history to take peak oil seriously – it is mostly implicit, rather than explicit, whereas climate change is an explicit driver, but the report presumes that we cannot go on using fossil fuels in agriculture as we have been.
When Aaron and I set out to answer the "can low input agriculture on small farms using people power feed us…since it will have to? question, the conventional wisdom was no, but there were contrary studies to consider. We knew both that fossil energies were bound to decline, leaving gaps, but also that small scale, human powered agriculture had potentials that were underappreciated. We didn't know the answer, and were determined not to prejudge it – to be emotionally and intellectually prepared to write that hunger and death were a likely consequence of all our best efforts. We spent the next months reading, researching and writing, and came out in 2008, at the height of the food crisis, with a very simple answer. Yes, the evidence is overwhelming that we can feed the world in a purely technical sense. We wrote:
It is a commonplace to assume that organic agriculture yields less tahn conventional agriculture and that we would have to endure enormous losses in yield were we to give up chemical inputs. The yield increases of the Green Revolution are commonly articulated in isolation, without discussion of organic yields. To determine how important the Green Revolution was, then, we need to go through the outputs of the Green Revolution and ask whether increased agricultural yields actually depend on using Green Revolution techniques. If, for example, agricultural yields depended on mechanization, we would expect mechanized agriculture to consistently out-yield hand labor. If they depend upon chemical inputs, we would expect organic agriculture to be heavily outyielded by conventional industrial agriculture. And if they depend on plant breeding, we would expect older varieties to be universally outyielded by newer ones.
These were the questions we set out to answer, and we found the same thing that the UN report also found – that these things were not, in fact, true, or not uniformly true.
In fact there was ample evidence that small farm yields were in many cases higher per acre, and that the lowered cost of agriculture inputs often meant more food security for the world's farmer even when their yields were slightly lower. Even more importantly, organic agricultural yields might have been slightly lower on the average in many cases, but they were better in years of extreme weather, suggesting that organic agriculture was more likely to endure climate change better.
We found that wider application of techniques like SSRI in rice fields and integrated polycultures – precisely the same things being lauded by the UN Report, could match projected yields for best outcomes of chemical agriculture. We followed the research of Peter Rosset and Jules Pretty and others who have done international studies showing the increased productivity of small scale, human powered, low input agriculture. We tracked the UN's own observation that in the 1990s, 2 billion people were being fed entirely by organic, low input agriculture – simply because they couldn't afford chemical inputs – usually on marginal land that they'd been pushed onto by industrial production. We asked the question – what could those two billion do with better land access and more justice?
Exactly like the UN report, we found that we had been focusing on the wrong things – despite the best intentions in the world, many millions of dollars spent on breeding GMO crops for conditions in Africa would have been better spent simply bringing the best farming techniques, better basic seed stock and better land access to Africa. The emphasis on pushing hard for small percentage increases in grain production in the global north – in countries that already had higher production than they could possibly need, did not, in fact, 'feed the world" but resulted in more corn and soy surpluses mostly going into livestock and meat for developed world consumption. We'd have done better to reduce specialization and encourage farmers in the Global South to grow the food they needed to eat.
The information was out there, and of course, much of it was extremely old. In 1986, for example, the UN FAO was forced to admit by researches that where you grow the food matters – that increasing the world's total food stocks doesn't result in reduced world hunger. This research has been going on for decades, but it was reassuring and fascinating to see the entire body of it laid out in front of me, just as it is good and valuable to have the UN report validate and publicize the literature review and analysis Aaron and I did four years ago. Hopefully a lot more people will read this than read _A Nation of Farmers_ ;-). Perhaps we can begin to discard the old saws about organic agriculture condemning us all to starvation.
This is not all the truth that ever was – if the world population does not stabilize around 9 billion, or in any number of climate and other disastrous scenarios, we could fail to produce enough food to feed the world. That, however, is not an inevitable outcome – if we were determined enough to ensure human well being long enough to stabilize the population and have it begin to decline overall, we could expect not to see the kind of massive starvation that many people have anticipated as a consequence of peak oil and climate change, and that is good news indeed.
As the newspapers trumpet this bit of news, however, it is useful to meditate on the second part of Aaron's and my conclusion, which is partly evident in the UN report, but less explicit – not just whether it is technically feasible to feed 9 billion people, but more importantly, will we? This is the $64 billion dollar question, isn't it? Because we presently produce enough food to feed every man, woman and child in the world about twice as many calories as their bodies require. In 2008, when our book came out and the number of the world's hungry skyrocketed to above 1 billion people, we had record harvests. Yes, there were floods and fires that year, but the the aggregate remained – there was more food than had ever been produced on earth before – and we still had one out of every 6.7 people going hungry.
The question is simply one of equity – as the UN report observes as one of its central premises:
To achieve this, however, pouring money into agriculture will not be sufficient;
what is most important is to take steps that facilitate the transition towards a low-carbon,
resource-preserving type of agriculture that benefits the poorest farmers. This will not
happen by chance. It can only happen by design, through strategies and programmes backed by strong political will, and informed by a right-to-food approach.
Unless we are as a world committed to the idea of food justice, we will not mend this issue, no matter how we improve yields. Unless those of us who have them put our world's resources in the right places (Remember those promises industrial nations made for food aid and agricultural support during the food crisis in 2008…billions pledged, yadda, yadda? Nope, they never paid up.) Unless we are prepared in the interest of equity to give up some of our consumption of meat and biofuels, it won't happen. You can double yields, or triple or quadruple them (ok, you probably can't, but I'm being rhetorical) – it doesn't matter how much food there is, it matters how we distribute and share it.
That is a much bigger project even that conversion to small farms and agro-ecology. That requires that we care about other people enough to make changes and sacrifices, that we take the right to food seriously. That could happen – it is possible that we could become a world people that does care about others like that. There is precedent – Aaron and I talk about the campaign in the US to go back on food rationing due to the starvation in Europe and Asia that followed World War II. Overwhelmingly American actually supported rationing their own food to feed the hungry in Europe – and more than a third of them would have rationed their own food to feed the starving Japanese, our worst enemies. We are not incapable of that kind of change. But it is a big project.
Aaron and I wrote about that too – we began our chapter quoting Mark Twain, who said "It ain't what you don't know that gets you into trouble. It is what you know for sure that just ain't so." That, I think is the story of our food future, and so we wrote that what frustrated us most was the fact that what many people are sure they know reinforces the status quo, renders it natural and inevitable, when it is not:
We concluded, in the end, that the greatest barriers to feeding the world had less to do with agriculture and more to do with politics than anything else, as is always the case. Now the UN confirms what we have argued – we could do it. But in order to do so, we must place food justice at the center of our worldview. Will we do this? Perhaps not. But I do not acknowledge that it is impossible, simply because that erases the responsibility to work your damnedest to make it so. And since my children will live in this world, and other people's children who they love as I love mine will live in it, I cannot think of a more useful thing to do in the world than to try.

Cartoon of Trump flying a plane into "Palestine" with the text: "Trump's decision to eliminate the Palestinian cause" posted on Fatah's official Facebook page
The cartoon shows US President Donald Trump about to fly a plane into a building shaped like the PA map of "Palestine" that presents all of Israel as "Palestine" together with the PA areas. The building is painted in the colors of the Palestinian flag and smoke is already rising from it.
Text on cartoon and in Facebook post: "[US President Donald] Trump's decision to eliminate the Palestinian cause"
Text on building: "The Palestinian cause"
US President Donald Trump's administration announced on Aug. 31, 2018 that it was immediately cutting all $360 million of annual American funding to UNRWA (UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East). Explaining the decision, the US State Department said, "The fundamental business model and fiscal practices that have marked UNRWA for years – tied to UNRWA's endlessly and exponentially expanding community of entitled beneficiaries – is simply unsustainable and has been in crisis mode for many years. The United States will no longer commit further funding to this irredeemably flawed operation."
The move came after the US froze two planned payments to UNRWA in early January 2018 for more than $100 million, and the US administration spoke about the need to reexamine and conduct a reform of the UN body. This occurred after the PA refused to negotiate with Israel and cut diplomatic ties with America following US recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital on Dec. 6, 2017.

Electro Factory: Tetris Twerk
I'll admit I'm going out on a limb with this one mostly because I'm kinda naïve about electronica. So, okay, if you just spent the past six months re-listening to Kid A just to get a feel for the depths of reductionism that postmodernism is capable of achieving, then you might want to check out the work of Alex Langston, appearing as The Last Known Good Configuration in an event called Tetris Twerk. The gig is happening on tonight at 9pm and features Langston producing sounds that have elements of glitch, trance and 8-bit and will also feature DJ Nicolatron. I listened to her mixes on Soundcloud, and some of it sort of reminded me of Whitehouse. Also on the bill are DJ Anthony Wae Fonkey Fragua and DJ Inkbox. These sonic revelations manifest at The Chill Factory (312 Rosemont NE). Admission is 5 clams, and you can get a map to the event on Facebook at on.fb.me/17EJ9Vc. Yeah, it is near where bluebirds fly and Citizen Insane resides, or something like that. The Chill Factory • Fri Nov 22 • 9pm • $5 • ALL-AGES! • View on Alibi calendar

SELinux also has tobe turned on in enforcing mode to abort mid-flow the mkdir operation performedby autofs4.The problematic sequence of events is this: (1) nfs_lookup() is called by sys_mkdirat() -> lookup_create() -> __lookup_hash() with intent to create exclusively set in the nameidata: nd->flags == LOOKUP_CREATE nd->intent.open.flags == O_EXCL (2) nfs_lookup() has an optimisation to avoid going to the server in this case, presumably since the nfs_mkdir() op or whatever will deal with the conflict. (3) nfs_lookup() returns successfully, leaving the dentry in a negative state, but attached to the parent directory. (4) sys_mkdirat() calls vfs_mkdir() which calls may_create(). may_create() checks that the directory has MAY_WRITE and MAY_EXEC permissions. (5) may_create() calls nfs_permission(), which grants permission. (6) may_create() calls security_inode_permission(), which calls SELinux, which then _DENIES_ permission. (7) may_create() fails, and vfs_mkdir() then fails and sys_mkdirat() then fails (as does sys_mkdir). _However_, the new dentry is left in the negative state, with no consultation of the server. (8) The parent directory is listed, and the name of the new dentry is returned.

ER doctor Latha Stead will spearhead a clinic within Shands she got sponsorship for called the Center for Brain Injury and Education.
Dr. Latha Stead calls her cellphone her clinic.
The ER doctor at Shands at the University of Florida specializes in traumatic brain injury and frequently meets patients in the parking lot or at benches outside the ER for follow-up care, since there's no specialized clinic for these patients. She has seen about 1,200 patients this way.
That's about to change, though, at of the beginning of December, when Stead will spearhead a clinic within Shands she got sponsorship for called the Center for Brain Injury and Education. The center will provide both research and clinical care for traumatic brain injury patients.
Stead's dedication to her patients and acclaimed career recently reached national recognition, when she was awarded the American Medical Association's William Beaumont Award in Medicine, also known as the Young Physician Award.
"It's one of the highest honors. This is like the house of medicine. I was really honored," Stead said.
At 43, Stead is the chief of clinical research at the UF College of Medicine, as well as a professor of emergency medicine and neurological surgery, and the Toral Family Foundation endowed professor of traumatic brain injury. She also was the first professor of emergency medicine at the Mayo Clinic and the chair of emergency medicine at the University of Rochester.
Dr. Joseph A. Tyndall, chairman of the department of emergency medicine at UF, said he recruited Stead in 2010 to lead the division of clinical research within the emergency medicine department.
"She had a growing reputation already," Tyndall said. "She's been absolutely outstanding. I call her a dynamo. She's an extraordinarily hard worker, very dedicated and incredibly smart. We are all consistently impressed at all that she gets done."
For Stead, though, the highlight of her career, she said, is simply working in the ER.
"There's no place I'd rather be," Stead said. "No one wants to be at the ER. If you go, you have to go. It's not your best time as a person, so we really see people in their time of need. Even if they never remember us, I feel good that we've made them feel better."
Stead is especially interested in helping traumatic brain injury patients. Last year she did a fellowship at UF in stroke and critical care, out of which her interest in traumatic brain injury emerged. The majority of traumatic brain injury victims, she said, have been in motor vehicle accidents and are men ages 18-64. Less than half of people in car accidents wear seat belts, and less than 30 percent of people involved in motorcycle crashes wear helmets, she said.
Stead sees them at her own trauma bin in the ER, but oftentimes after they go home, problems creep up.
"They vomit, or have headaches or post-concussive syndrome," Stead said.
Later on, patients might have problems concentrating. They may need speech therapy or vocational rehab. They often are referred to multiple departments, such as neuropsychology, neurology and psychiatry without receiving proper diagnosis or care.
"My concern is that they just fall through the cracks. If you don't have insurance, it's really hard to get good follow-up care," Stead said. "We would really like our clinic to be a one-stop place."
Tyndall added, "She has really seized an opportunity to fill a gap in the care of people who may otherwise not be looked at."
At Stead's new center, she and her three research fellows also will conduct research on traumatic brain injury. While 80 percent of brain injuries are mild, some people develop post-concussive syndrome, and understanding why is one of the questions they hope to address.
"There's no real good textbook chapter on traumatic brain injury. We hope to be the ones writing that," Stead said. "We like to think of ourselves as small and mighty."
One of her research fellows, Aakash Bodhit, said that working with Stead in her "cellphone clinic" has been an amazing experience. "It was a totally different experience," Bodhit said. "Sometimes (patients) would come at 7 a.m. It was also a different experience for them. They used to say it was so nice of us to call back. It wasn't part of our job description, but we tried to help patients as much as possible."
Bodhit seconds Tyndall's description of Stead as a "dynamo," and said he's learned a lot about time management from Stead in the nearly two years he's worked with her.
Stead's parents are from India, and she was born in Huntsville, Ala., where her father worked for NASA. He then worked for the United Nations, so Stead grew up between New York City and Switzerland.
She attended medical school in Puerto Rico and did her residency at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York. She also has two master's degrees — including an MBA from the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University just outside of Chicago.
Ask Stead where home is, and without skipping a beat she says Gainesville.
"I consider home wherever my address is … I love it here. It's a great, vibrant university community," she said.
Stead also is raising four sons here, who seem to be following in her footsteps. Her eldest, age 12, recently did a presentation for his middle school class on TBI in which he talked about the importance of wearing helmets while skateboarding.
"A lot of people had little awareness," Stead said. "It helped to change some attitudes."

John Berendt returns with a long-awaited follow-up to Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil
Several years ago, Publisher's Weekly reported that John Berendt had single-handedly boosted tourism in Savannah, Ga., by 46 percent, all thanks to his 1994 blockbuster, Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil. "The figure was actually higher than that," says the 65-year-old author now. Not one for false modesty, Berendt sounds like he might want royalties on the gift-shop purchases, too.

Seasons 52 is a restaurant chain with signature desserts called the "Mini Indulgence." The restaurant has developed an interactive quiz that asks you questions to determine "which Mini Indulgence dessert is you?"
The reason this works is because it asks personal questions about things you like to do and "matches" those things with the type of dessert. Yes it's kind of silly, but people love quizzes about themselves.

As folks prepared to turn their clocks back Saturday, Virginia's football team took several steps back.
"It's the most difficult thing on the planet Earth to lose that way," Cavaliers receiver Dontrelle Inman said.
"Disheartening and disappointing," coach Mike London said.
Indeed, one week after its finest performance this season, Virginia lost 55-48 at Duke.
The Blue Devils had dropped eight consecutive ACC games. Their quarterback has thrown a conference-high 15 interceptions and their defense is among the nation's worst.
But they defeated Virginia (4-5, 1-4 ACC) for the third consecutive year in a game that featured 1,132 yards total offense, a fake field goal for touchdown (U.Va.) and a successful onside kick to open the second half (Duke).
The Blue Devils have five ACC victories in the last three years, three against Virginia, their first such streak in the series since 1976-78. This marks Duke's first three-game run against any conference rival since it bested Wake Forest in 1993, '94 and '95.
Those trends speak to the Cavaliers' program and the macro challenges confronting London in his first season.
Most troubling from the micro view: Leading 48-47 with 1:07 remaining, Virginia allowed a 32-yard pass completion from Sean Renfree to Donovan Varner on fourth-and-20.
"One play gets you off the field," London said, "and you can't capitalize on that."
Was the Cavaliers' sideline preparing to celebrate?
"Of course," Inman said. "Everyone in the stands … thought we had them."
They didn't, and three snaps later, Duke scored the winning touchdown on Desmond Scott's 35-yard run.
The ACC's No. 11 rushing offense, Duke ran for a season-high 230, nearly double its previous average of 120. The Cavaliers tackled poorly and appeared bamboozled by Duke's wildcat formation, from which freshman backup quarterback Brandon Connette rushed for 78 yards and two touchdowns.
The worst breakdown against the rush came on a fourth-quarter third-and-9 from Virginia's 37, when quarterback Sean Renfree ducked and dodged an all-out blitz and weaved 37 yards for a touchdown. Renfree's previous long run this season was 12 yards.
So many indictments, so little time.
Beat No. 22 Miami one week, lose to Duke (3-6, 1-4 ACC) the next? Such are the take-two-Dramamine swings of rebuilding a program.
No player personifies that mercurial nature more than senior quarterback Marc Verica.
He threw for a school-record 417 yards Saturday and career-high four touchdowns. He completed routes short, deep and intermediate.
But Verica threw three interceptions against a defense that had an ACC-low five in its first eight games. Two of the picks came inside Virginia's 20-yard line, and Duke converted the three turnovers into 16 points.
"You can't throw interceptions," London said.
Not when your margin of error is Ralph Sampson-thin. Now when you have a true freshman offensive lineman, Morgan Moses, shuttling between guard and tackle because of injuries. Not when your two best cornerbacks, Ras-I Dowling and Chase Minnifield, also are hobbled.
And certainly not when your defense yields its most points since 1999 — Illinois scored 63 — and you commit 11 penalties for 103 yards.
"We have 11, they have three," London said of the flags. "That's not acceptable. The turnovers compounded that. It's frustrating. We've got to get it fixed."
The defeat masked two notable performances.
Keith Payne, all 255 pounds of him, burrowed his way for 121 yards rushing and scored three touchdowns. He has 15 on the season, three shy of the school record set by legends Gene Mayer in 1914 and Bill Dudley in 1941.
Inman caught 10 passes for 239 yards, two yards shy of the Virginia record established by Ken Shelton 39 years ago.
But records and history were hollow Saturday.
"I'm never surprised by anything," London said of one peculiar play.
The same applies to London's team.
"We're a ways away," he said.
Farther than a week ago.

LEO Stages Fake Arrest of Daughter's Would-Be Romeo
YouTube Video Capture
San Francisco Chronicle via YellowBrix
September 27, 2010
SAN JOSE, CA – Most fathers would have taken him aside for a quiet chat.
But when one police officer found out a 15-year-old boy had slept with his 14-year-old step-daughter, he took things a little bit further.
The unnamed California motorcycle cop went round to the youth's house in uniform and staged a fake arrest, claiming that he was being detained for sexual assault.
As his parents looked on, the officer handcuffed the boy and gave him a five-minute dressing down about his conduct before letting him go.
The policeman has now been put on administrative leave whilst an internal investigation and a district attorney probe are carried out.
The case has echoes of the 2000 comedy 'Meet the Parents' in which Robert De Niro plays a retired FBI officer who quizzes the man who wants to marry his daughter on every aspect of his personal life.
But this real-life version has divided opinion as to whether or not the officer went too far or was just doing what most fathers in his position would do.
The officer drove to the boy's house on his police motorbike and went inside where mobile phone footage taken by one of the boy's parents shows him standing in the middle of the room lecturing the youth.
On the footage the officer says to the boy: 'It does not bode well for you. Do you know what that means? No?
'Not a good thing that the person you had sex with is a cop's daughter. The district attorney will probably file charges.'
The family's lawyer said the officer's behaviour amounted to 'scared straight' tactics that went too far.
'He made comments like, 'You don't mess with a cop's daughter.' That's a show of authority, that's inappropriate,' attorney Tony Boskovich said.
'Applying force, applying handcuffs, threatening the young man with things such as rape in prison.
'He acted like a cowboy. He lost it, he came in and he abused his authority.'
Lawyers for the policeman have suggested that the boy's parents were complicit either by giving their permission or doing nothing to stop the tirade.
Attorney Terry Bowman said: 'At no time did you hear the parents of the young man objecting, getting upset, crying. So the video is absolutely exculpatory from the cop's perspective,' she said.
'The officer was essentially invited to use 'scare straight' tactics, and there were no objections to the lecture or the handcuffing.
'Everything was done in the spirit of reaching a troubled young man who is heading down the wrong path.'
She added that early in the video the boy's stepfather advises his handcuffed son: 'Use your head. Think about what he is talking to you about. Listen to his words. Replay them in your head.'\
The boy's parents filed a complaint with the police and both the boy and the girl were cited for unlawful sexual intercourse.
The misdemeanour, for minors who are close in age and have consensual sex, is rarely prosecuted.
None of the adults have been identified to protect the identities of the two minors.
San Jose Police Department spokesman Sgt. Ronnie Lopez said the officer may have violated some of the force policies which relate to conduct involving personal feelings and policing ones own neighbourhood, but could not comment further.
Should the district attorney file criminal charges the officer could face jail for false imprisonment.

New Pro Streets game launches in six European cities alongside Pro Leather Vulcs
The new Converse Pro Leather Vulcs range has launched, and Converse has kicked off a European-wide celebration of street culture to mark the occasion. Pro Streets is an innovative game that seeks to find out what's buzzing on the streets of six of the world's most culturally diverse cities: London, Madrid, Paris, Berlin, Amsterdam and Milan.
Setting up CCTV-style Pro Streets cameras across Europe, Chucks fans are invited to show off their most original moves – from MC battles to breaking, skate tricks to dance routines. The game launched in London on August 29, with cameras in five of the city's coolest boroughs: Camden, Brixton, Mile End, Finsbury Park and Ladbroke Grove, open to anyone to perform, any time. The footage is uploaded to the Pro Streets website, where you can view what's happening at street level, and vote for your favourite vids.
Already, there are hundreds of videos online, showcasing a crazy array of moves and performances – from solo singers to guys showing off their prowess with a football, it's giving young kids a platform to show the world their skills. There's no big prize money involved, just the chance to get some recognition, and for people to explore the creativity at play in some of Europe's grittiest neighbourhoods.
Encouraging creativity like this has become the heart of the Converse brand ethic. Since their first iconic All-Star basketball boot launched in 1917, Cons have grown up on the streets, becoming an essential part of the youth aesthetic for generation after generation. Punk through grunge, hip-hop through indie, A-list celebs to the world's leading sports stars – Converse have graced the feet of some of the world's most creative and talented bright young things. Keenly aware of this fact, Converse has set out to shine a spotlight on, celebrate, and encourage the urge to create, and their Pro Streets game is the latest in a string of initiatives that have set out to do just that.
Setting up a recording studio in Brooklyn, Rubber Tracks, that bands can use for free, promoting emerging artists and sports stars of all kinds on their website, saving London's legendary 100 Club with sponsorship, and launching their Fix to Ride scheme – fixing up battered and cracked bowls to make them skateable again, then opening them up to the public for free – these are just some of the things that Converse has been doing to enable people, especially the young, to do what they love to do. Of course, this is all part of building the brand, but it's also giving something back to communities and kids who love their Cons.
If you're in London looking to get involved in the Pro Streets game, you'll find cameras at the Sobell Leaisure Centre at Finsbury Park, Mile End Skate Park, Aytoun Place in Brixton, Camden's Cantelowes Gardens and Portobello Green Fitness Centre in Ladbroke Grove.
The new Pro Leather Vulcs range takes inspiration from the original Converse Pro Leather shoe, launched in 1976, and is available exclusively from JD Sports in the UK.

Monthly Theme:
Isaiah's God is the Holy One of Israel. In God's presence we have to be morally clean. God has chosen his Servant, who will rule in righteousness in a kingdom of peace.
Bible Reading:
Isaiah 52:7–12
Bible Text:
Burst into songs together, you ruins of Jerusalem, for the LORD has comforted his people, he has redeemed Jerusalem (Isa. 52:9).
Jerusalem saw the messengers coming, running over the hills that surround the city. They came ever closer. Now Jerusalem could hear the messengers' cry: "Listen, your watchmen lift up their voices." These are shouts of joy. "Peace!" they shout. "Peace!" The Lord has come to Jerusalem. "Your God reigns."
This is the vision of the gospel that was first proclaimed to shepherds by an angel: "I will bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people; today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ, the Lord" (Luke 2: 10).
When the good news carne, only a few people still expected God to "comfort his people" and "redeem Jerusalem." But Simeon was one of the few "waiting for the consolation of Israel" (Luke 2:25). And Anna kept praying to God. In fact, she had contact with a group of people who were all "looking forward to the redemption of Jerusalem" (2:38).
What Isaiah saw in a vision about "the consolation of Israel" and "redemption of Jerusalem," Luke reports as a fact. With the coming of Jesus, God has begun to set up a kingdom on earth. That's why Jesus began his ministry by saying, "I must preach the good news of the kingdom of God" (Luke 4:43).

1999 Press Releases
December 24, 1999
Chromosome centers defined and sequenced for model plant
The serendipitous discovery of a rare mutation and five years of concentrated effort have allowed a team of American and British researchers to define the centromeres of the five chromosomes of Arabidopsis thaliana, a flowering plant that has become the primary model for plant genetics. The findings are published in the December 24, 1999 issue of Science; they represent the first time that scientists working with a multi-cellular organism have been able to identify the genetic boundaries of the centromeres--which are resistant to standard gene mapping techniques--and to unravel their DNA sequences.
December 1, 1999
Thalidomide effective against refractory Crohn's disease
A study in the December issue of Gastroenterology shows that thalidomide, a drug that became infamous in the 1960s for causing thousands of severe birth defects, can be an effective short-term treatment for Crohn's disease--even for patients whose disease has not responded to other therapies.

$500,000 gift launches new clinical research effort in peripheral neuropathy
A generous gift of $500,000 from Jack Miller of Lincolnshire, Illinois, founder and president of Quill Corporation, will be used to launch a concerted effort by neuroscientists at the University of Chicago--to investigate the basic biology of peripheral neuropathy and search for better treatments and a cure for this common nerve disorder.
November 9, 1999
Force of pollen adhesion measured
A collaborative effort between plant biologists and physicists at the University of Chicago has measured the binding force between pollen grains and their female counterparts, the stigma cells. The unexpected strength and specificity of pollen binding could form the basis of an entire family of superglues with wide ranging applications in medicine and technology.
November 4, 1999
Origin of primate color vision
Researchers at the University of Chicago have found evidence that trichromatic, or full color, vision originated in prosimians--a group of lemurs, Bush Babies and pottos--rather than in higher primates. This pushes the origin of primate color vision back roughly 20 million years.
October 28, 1999
The evolution of the sex chromosomes: Step by step
No other pair of chromosomes is as diverse as the sex chromosomes. In the October 29, 1999 issue of Science, Bruce Lahn and David Page describe how the sex chromosomes became so different--evolving from a pair of identical chromosomes into X and Y in several discrete stages over 300 million years.
October 21, 1999
Lack of sleep alters hormones, metabolism, simulates effects of aging
Chronic partial sleep loss can reduce the capacity of even young adults to perform basic metabolic functions such as processing and storing carbohydrates or regulating hormone secretion, report Chicago researchers. Cutting back from eight to four hours each night quickly produced striking changes that resembled the effects of aging or the early stages of diabetes.
October 8, 1999
Extract from traditional Chinese herb enhances recovery in stressed cells
Extracts from the Chinese herb Scutellaria baicalensis, contain powerful antioxidants that can significantly reduce cellular damage caused by free radicals--highly reactive compounds that are generated during metabolism and which contribute to the normal wear and tear of the cell.

Earl Alisan Evans, PhD, of Chicago, professor emeritus and former chairman of the department of biochemistry and molecular biology at the University of Chicago, died from pneumonia on October 5, 1999 at age 89. Although Evans was a pioneer in several fields, including the use of radioactive isotopes to study metabolism and the use of a group of viruses known as bacteriophages to study the workings of DNA--research that was crucial to the development of the modern field of molecular biology--he was perhaps best known as a far-sighted, imaginative and magnanimous leader who built and maintained one of the top-rated biochemistry departments in the United States during his chairmanship, which lasted from 1942 to 1972.
October 4, 1999
Neighborhoods matter: Who gets CPR?
A University of Chicago study of more than 4,000 people who suffered a cardiac arrest found that the likelihood of having bystanders perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is associated with two neighborhood characteristics: the frequency of cardiac arrests and the racial mix.

Plakin proteins brace nerve axons and allow for the transport of neurotransmitter vesicles
At the University of Chicago, scientists interested in skin disorders caused by a weakening of the cytoskeleton have long known that a group of bolt-like proteins, called plakins, brace the intermediate filaments. Now, researchers led by Elaine Fuchs, PhD, Amgen Professor of Molecular Genetics and Cell Biology and Howard Hughes investigator, report in the July 23, 1999 issue of Cell that plakins bind to all three components of the cytoskeleton, providing an integrated bracing system that gives cells their strength and flexibility.

Bobcats considering trading down from No. 2 slot
By STEVE REED | The Associated Press – 4 hours ago
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) New Charlotte coach Mike Dunlap says the idea of trading down from the No. 2 spot in the NBA draft to acquire extra picks ''makes a lot of sense'' for a young team like the Bobcats.
After finishing 7-59 and with the worst winning percentage (.106) in NBA history, the Bobcats have a variety of holes to fill this offseason.
Dunlap recognizes that.
That's one of the reasons he said the Bobcats are taking a ''hybrid thinking'' approach to Thursday night's draft, which means evaluating the talent available at No. 2 while simultaneously looking into the feasibility of moving down and picking up an additional first-round draft pick.
He said the option of trading down ''is on the board.''
''I think anybody in our situation would have that on the board,'' Dunlap said. ''(Our) people are very smart up top. So options and thinking of your variables is a very smart thing to do.''
Dunlap said the decision on whether to remain at No. 2 or move down will be up to his bosses - general manager Rich Cho and director of basketball operations Rod Higgins. As of right now they're not talking about the draft, although both are expected to address the media at a predraft news conference Wednesday.
The New Orleans Hornets won the NBA lottery and have the No 1 pick.
It would be a major surprise if they don't take Kentucky's Anthony Davis, considered by many a franchise-type player.
The No. 2 pick is a bit more complicated.
There's no consensus pick for that spot with opinions varying on whether Kansas forward Thomas Robinson, Florida guard Bradley Beal, Kentucky swingman Michael Kidd-Gilchrist or North Carolina forward Harrison Barnes might be the next best player available.
Dunlap says the front office has ''definitely reduced'' the number of candidates in consideration for the No. 2 pick should the team stand pat.
''That's their job,'' Dunlap said of Cho and Higgins. ''And I'm a resource. But those guys have done a wonderful job all year long of evaluation, so I think they have a clear idea of scenarios. There are many variables, but they have it down.''
One intriguing potential trade partner for the Bobcats could be the Cleveland Cavaliers, who own picks No. 4 and 24.
If the Bobcats trade down it might allow them to acquire an outside shooter.
That's what Dunlap considers the team's most pressing need.
''The ability to make the three is important because it allows you to play inside the 3-point line,'' Dunlap said. ''What happens is a defense collapses and it gets crowded in there. I would say that is safe to say that we need to do that. And we need to do a better job with our spacing, too. But as far as the roster goes it's always nice to have guys who can shoot a basketball.''
The Bobcats worked out four players on Monday including Vanderbilt's John Jenkins, who fits the bill as an outside shooter after shooting 48.3 percent from beyond the arc last season.
Although he's not considered a top 10 pick, he could be an option for the Bobcats with their second-round pick (31st overall). The others that worked out Monday in Charlotte were Missouri's Kim English, Virginia Tech's Dorenzo Hudson and High Point's Nick Barbour.
''I think it's a good draft and I also think there are a lot of guys out there that will be in that top 20 who have won a lot of basketball games,'' Dunlap said. ''They kind of know the expectations. I also think you'll see a lot of wheeling and dealing with teams moving down or up.''
While Dunlap could have some input on draft day decisions, his primary focus has been on developing the players he has on the roster.
He's dove head-first into the challenge.
Known as a no-nonsense coach, Dunlap spent more than two hours Monday working with a handful of Bobcats players including Byron Mullens and last year's rookie lottery picks Kemba Walker and Bismack Biyombo. The practice was fast-paced and intense in nature.
''Their work ethic and their willingness to learn has been good,'' he said. ''I hope so, it's the honeymoon and there's nothing at stake right now.''
Dunlap, who previously worked as an assistant at St. John's, has also been working on assembling an assistant coaching staff, although nothing is imminent.
''We're going to take our time,'' Dunlap said. ''As they say in the business, hire slow, fire fast. I know that one.''
That's another option, trading for the #2, as that would make it much easier to get a very good SF. I'd go as far as to trade Klay and the #7 for the #2 and then look to trade the #2 and either RJ or AB to Philly for Iguodala, Turner and the #15. Philly would probably do that as Thomas Robinson would give them the big they need.
2012 draft choice
Discuss anything related to Golden State Warriors basketball here
Moderators: Mr. Crackerz, JREED, Guybrush, 32
After the first pick, the draft can go a lot of ways. I've seen some mocks where the Warriors take Kidd-Gilchrist, Drummond or Dion Waiters. I think MKG's lack of upside may have GMs thinking about taking a gamble with a guy like Drummond who is a 7 foot athletic monster. Lillard has impressed at every workout and could be a lock to goto Portland who needs a point guard. Barnes athleticism has opened the eyes of a few teams as well. I think the lottery can go..
1) New Orleans - Anthony Davis
2) Charlotte - Thomas Robinson
3) Washington - Brad Beal
4) Cleveland - Harrison Barnes
5) Sacramento - Andre Drummond
6) Portland - Damian Lillard
7) Golden State - Michael Kidd-Gilchrist
8. Toronto - Dion Waiters
9) Detroit - Meyers Leonard
10) New Orleans - Terrence Ross
11) Portland - Tyler Zeller
12) Milwaukee - John Henson
13) Phoenix - Austin Rivers
14) Houston - Jeremy Lamb
1) New Orleans - Anthony Davis
2) Charlotte - Thomas Robinson
3) Washington - Brad Beal
4) Cleveland - Harrison Barnes
5) Sacramento - Andre Drummond
6) Portland - Damian Lillard
7) Golden State - Michael Kidd-Gilchrist
8. Toronto - Dion Waiters
9) Detroit - Meyers Leonard
10) New Orleans - Terrence Ross
11) Portland - Tyler Zeller
12) Milwaukee - John Henson
13) Phoenix - Austin Rivers
14) Houston - Jeremy Lamb
Latest mock draft I've seen has Drummon falling all the way to #9 to Detroit and the Warriors taking Dion Waiters. I'd take Drummond if he is there and don't see how Dion Waiters has more value than him, as a keeper or in a trade.
Houston has also trade Budinger for the TWolves' #18. Houston wants to trade for Dwight even if he says he won't resign there.
Lots of trade talk at the moment as usual.

typo... or does chris brussard love talking in third person about his twitter use?
Broussard just tweeted that the Warriors are in talks with the Nuggets about swapping the 7th pick for Wilson Chandler. I'd do that in a heartbeat. Chandler is 25 years old. He can play defense and rebound. He's also a solid ball handler and passer. He has a nice chemistry with David Lee from their days in NY together and he's locked up for the next 5 years at $7M a year (averaged), which is very manageable. I would also try to get Timofey Mosgov, by throwing in the 35th pick.

lol my bad y'all
Bravo, if that goes down. Chandler is exactly what we need.
Sweeten the deal. Tell Chandler we'll even have Lee give him his tooth back (which I can only assume is a medallion swinging from D-Lee's rear-view-mirror at this point).

I agree with JREED. I would rather have the pick, than wilson chandler. 4 years on a rookie scale, versus the 5 year, 38 million dollar deal Chandler signed. Plus, Chandler hasn't really impressed me. His numbers began to decline when he went to Denver. Went to china. We only saw him for a few games last year in the NBA.
To me, he might be a bigger risk (with the contract and years) than a rookie on a pay scale (and bigger upside).
To me, he might be a bigger risk (with the contract and years) than a rookie on a pay scale (and bigger upside).
It's a worthwhile concern, but Chandler showed he can be a defensively gritty 15 and 5 guy in New York. Scoring numbers may fluctuate, but he's always around 1 BPG (which is huge for the 3 position) and he hits his free throws. Personally, a versatile, plus-sized athletic, PROVEN 3 (at around $7 mil per) is more valuable to me than rolling the dice on another dime-a-dozen scorer who will crowd the backcourt. Chandler would make our starting 5 playoff worthy:
PG: Steph Curry
SG: Klay Thompson
SF: Wilson Chandler
PF: David Lee
C: Andrew Bogut
And, again, this is an upgrade at a needed position without throwing away any of our other starters in the transaction.

i was just on realgm and i swear warriors trade rumors are everywhere and im really excited that thats happening. i wouldnt mind wilson chandler. hes young he plays defense he slashes and he doesnt try to be a hero hed be the perfect fit on this team. but i would only make that trade knowing we couldnt get barnes or gilchrist or iggy.
Ditto, Shad, but add Rudy Gay and Luol Deng to that list. Chandler is a nice prize for almost solely the pick, but I'm in favor of making the deal for the most talent possible. To my mind, that puts the veteran list at: Gay > Iggy > Deng > Chandler > Thaddeus Young > Dorell Wright
