*** (out of four)
If by chance you own pet dogs, chickens or giraffes, do not bring them to "The Hangover: Part III." Things don't go well for animals in the movie.
Things never go well for the Wolf Pack, as they are once again in over their heads in this funny and quick-moving finale to a trilogy that didn't need to be a trilogy, but made improvements with each film. Actually, "The Hangover" now bests the "Iron Man" franchise by a half-star (8-7.5 total) in my book. So there's that.
Since no one's dazedly chasing down clues from the previous night's intoxicated mayhem, "The Hangover: Part III" diverts enough from the formula to avoid complaints that the movie's just redundant. (Many incorrectly made that claim about "Part II," which was a funnier, less misogynistic step up from the overrated original.)
With Doug (Justin Bartha) kidnapped as collateral, Phil (Bradley Cooper), Stu (Ed Helms) and Alan (Zach Galififanakis) must track down elusive international criminal/gangster and wild card Mr. Chow (Ken Jeong) and retrieve the gold he stole from organized crime boss Marshall (John Goodman). The timing couldn't be worse—as if there's ever a good time to be stuck between a killer who favors pig masks and another who finds massive destruction hilarious—considering the more stable Wolf Pack members have just tried to intervene on Alan's reckless lifestyle. When a pal accidentally decapitates the giraffe they bought in order to feed it from his tree house, you don't shrug and say, "He can surely fix his issues himself."
I wish director Todd Phillips, who co-wrote parts two and three, would find humor only in Alan as a dumb, giant baby rather than mocking someone who at times shows signs of mental illness or developmental disability. Phillips also still finds anal rape just a stitch. And why don't these guys even think about how worried their wives are during these situations? Yet rather than leaning on countless over-the-top situations, "Part III" capitalizes on the comic skills of its cast, who have all come a long way as movie stars and onscreen partners.
Galifianakis can get a laugh just by crying as Alan, and I love that Alan wrote to Chow in prison just to say, "OMG, the McRib is back." Helms cracks me up by shouting, "Are you out of your mind?" Good comedy often comes from character and a funny person digging in, not necessarily doing the absolute craziest thing imaginable.
Don't worry, "The Hangover Part III" has its bananas moments. I just like that the franchise ends as a more balanced meal.

If Hypothyroid and Unhappy, Which Came First?
By Gary Pepper, M.D.
Medical specialists increasingly accept that some patients being treated for hypothyroidism continue to be symptomatic and "unhappyâ€. The degree to which patients experience this problem while on conventional treatment for hypothyroidism with levothyroxine (Synthroid, Levoxyl, Unithroid, T4) has motivated many specialists to look for other approaches to treatment such as adding T3 (Cytomel, liothyronine) or switching to desiccated thyroid extract (Armour, WPthyroid, Westhroid
Not all experts are convinced looking for new treatment options for hypothyroidism is the right approach. Continue reading

Wow, that was a wilder vacation than anyone thought.
Yesterday, "American Reunion" actress Tara Reid tweeted that she had gotten engaged and then, a few hours later, gleefully wrote, "Just got married in greece I love being a wife."
Naturally, everyone assumed the 35 year-old got hitched to Danish businessman boyfriend Micheal Lillelund, whom she had been seeing since the pair met in Saint-Tropez last November.
U.S. & World
But no.
Reid once again took to Twitter to clarify the rumors, officially telling the world who her husband is. "His name is Zack Kehayov," she wrote.
The actress's relationship with Kehayov comes as something of a surprise, as the pair had never been publicly seen together as a couple. Life & Style magazine got their hands on the newlywed's official wedding portrait.
Reid will attempt to revive her flagging acting career with the newest "American Pie" installment "American Reunion," which will reunite everyone from the original cast, including Jason Biggs, Seann William Scott, Alyson Hannigan, and Eugene Levy. After that, maybe she'll get someone interested in her "Big Lebowski" sequel.

It's been a while since my last 1000+worder, so let's catch up…
However, first please take note of the two previous short posts that offer links to FREE music, movies, programs, all via bit torrents.
Why PAY for anything? Money shouldn't conflict with anything, especially art.
Get learned if you don't know and if you do know, share and inform. Moving on…
Clearly this whole Ebola mess is to incite fear amongst the populous, let's just get that right out there. Here's the math…like 4000ish dead, I think I saw 9000ish infected, now there are 7 and ½ billion people on the planet, more-or-less. For those who are mathematically deficient, to get the percentage of the total infected, we would divide 7.5 billion into 9000, which is .0000012%, hardly any real epidemic, pandemic, whatever the fear mongers are trying to convey to the masses. More people are going to contract and die from the flu. Of course the MSM is eating it up and do you know why? More fear gives more power to those you still let control you, and said controllers use the MSM to incite that fear, at least in a large proportion. Here's something many of you may not know…the CDC has patents for Ebola, and patents are granted to inventions, so wouldn't this be a CDC/CIA/Globalist engineered bioweapon, since it's being released upon the public, just like the HIV virus? …which did not work fast enough for the eugenist scum who mastermind such things. Oh yes, the whole HIV/AIDS thing was somewhat of a test run for population control, i.e., depopulation of those deemed unfit to exist. Don't believe me, look it up. For those who might be new, try "Agenda 21" as a search query start. That's all on the Ebola from me, except for this… when the "Ebola vaccines" start rolling out, please for the sake of your own humanity, DO NOT TAKE THE VACCINE, or any vaccines for that matter. Continuing…
Well I was going to write a post about how disappointing Comet Siding Spring would be before it actually disappointed everyone, but I waited to see it play out, and here we are, Comet ISON Part 2, the Siding Spring Sequel. Maybe it was a spectacular event, but no one knows because NASA and/or whoever controls the monitoring satellites, cut the live feed for one, then provided ass-crappy images that are unimpressive to say the least. Ground-based amateur astronomers have better images, many of which actually ARE impressive, but the footage is still very lacking. Another space event bust. So many "events," so many "record" and "once-in-a-lifetime" occurrences all ending in blah. Maybe space novelty has hit a critical mass, at least for some. I suppose though it would only take one major event to alter the course of things in a dramatic fashion, but these blood moons, eclipses, ehhh… makes one wonder how significant these celestial events are even to the ones who supposedly adhere their Luciferian dogma to it, and yes I am referring to the globalist banker elitist scum that I have detailed elaborately for all of you so many times before….
I will use the "event" topic to segue onto a potentially "eventful" upcoming date, which I have milestoned onto the right of the page over there, said date being this Friday, October 24, 2014. Now I have seen some speculative reports that this will be the date of the next market crash, hence the name Black Friday, as it refers to this date in the past, which you can look up on your own. Nonetheless, for those who still do not know, the market WILL crash at some point… it's inevitable. I'm not going to take the time to get into the details, but the system is set up TO crash, which doesn't affect those at the top of the pyramid, but for the 99% below, surely it will, and that's exactly what the swine in charge want. We have covered this before, create chaos, bring in order, problem-reaction-solution. IT'S ON THE DOLLAR BILL, that's one thing that blows my mind is that these psychopaths broadcast their plans and intentions everywhere, because they know that most of the people are sheeple and are too fluoridated and programmed and braindead to put it together. It's amusing to them, amusing the way a dog or cat is to it's owner. Do you like being perceived as pets, cattle, sheep, a herd? Who ultimately makes that decision? You? Or them? Back to the market, I am not saying it will, or it will not crash this Friday, but it WILL crash and how that affects you is up to YOU. Do not let your fate be woven in the hands of masters.
Notice the price of oil dropping, at least here in the mighty USSA? That's because our shady government cut deals with the Saudis in relation to this ISIS propaganda campaign. We have seen numerous videos posted by ISIS, or ISIL, or IS, or whatever they are called this week but I digress…anyway, these videos show convoys of trucks and tanks and anti-aircraft guns and missiles, yet why are all the targets being blown up NOT these convoys but rather what appears to be randomly isolated and vacated buildings? Hmmmm… maybe that's because the CIA and other shadow agencies fund these supposed terrorists groups, so who are the real terrorists? That's right, they work in the shadows, which worked well for them before the advent of the internet and in turn, the alternative media. Now we tangent… Sharing information allowed for the potential for billions to awaken to the real reality of the world around them, and we are all in that process now, although the degree of ascension into this process is relative on an individual basis. Never-the-less, the potential is still here. All part of the global mass awakening, which exponentiates more each day. We must remember that there is still in place a preceding generation which is used to playing by the rules of those aforementioned shadowy conspirators, and it is not until that generation is gone or defeated or gets over themselves that humanity can truly have a chance to be free. The question is how much influence that old generation has on the upcoming generations… do we follow the path of the uninformed, the unenlightened, the unwillfully ignorant who thought they had it right? Or do we blaze our own path/s, with our own knowledge, and our own perceptions of what this 3rd dimensional existence means?
The answer lies with you, and you alone. Be brave, and let go of all you fear.
The time is coming. Our fraction of an instance is up.
Wide eyes open.
Love to all.

In Their Own Words
"After 17 years of teaching ear training here at Berklee, the move to harmony has allowed me to teach more in my style. The curriculum is less systematic and more driven toward the absorption of applicable concepts regardless of method. My strengths are utilized to aid the students in bringing these potentially abstract theoretical concepts into the realm of meaningful practice. The inclusion of an ear training component in the harmony curriculum is a recognized need in the department—one of the reasons I'm here is to help facilitate this effort on a larger scale."
"I continue to have teaching opportunities in the performance area of the college through my Improvisation Concepts Workshops, where students have the chance to explore improvising in a 'nonstylistic' environment. This yearlong course was created in direct response to student requests for ways to bridge the gap between ear training classes and hearing on their instruments. Their growing sense of community is remarkable to witness. They really seem to enjoy this approach—I know I do!"
"I'm an improviser at heart. I went through all those early teaching years trying to utilize every minute in class with activities, but now I'm trying to get students to teach themselves. They're going to do that ultimately, anyway. Often they have this preconceived notion that teachers are authorities, but I see myself as just someone on the same path that they're on. Perhaps I've been there a little longer, so I can say, 'Maybe you should try this, because this is what it did for me.' I guess my style is more practicing in front of them in order to get them to practice, rather than imposing a subjective set of expectations on them that may or may not apply to their future. I really believe that people are self-motivated already; you've just got to free that up."

Still have my "day job" in the federal government, but the battle over the Affordable Care Act, which some call "Obamacare," sent us feds packing for 16 days. I didn't kick rocks, but kicked my literary production into high gear, and rolled out my 14th novel, "The Miraculous Thereafter," during this period. Am well into writing my 15th novel, and should have that available to you by spring, 2014.

February 25, 2013
Rolled out my 13th novel this past weekend, "Backstage Pass." Available in paperback from Lulu.com and in Kindle and Nook from Amazon and BN.com respectively.
Recently I've taken down my catalogue of original photographic works, works such as the marches for a King Holiday beginning in 1978. As a photojournalist, I was up front with two cameras, 35 mm and large-format 2 1/4, capturing these events. Had to go in the darkroom back then; there was no digital. Nowadays, everybody is a photographer; there are few cell phones which don't take presentable pictures! But few have had the experiences (nor possess the negatives and original prints!) to have photographed such luminaries as Stevie Wonder, the Master Dick Gregory, Jesse Jackson, etc. as we marched to get a national holiday in honor of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Additionally, I was often backstage at a number of musical events back in the day, hired on the side as a photographer for such groups as the Gap Band, Yarbrough and Peebles. Did a lot of work at the old Capital Centre outside of Washington, backstage and right up front from backstage to photograph Parliament Funkadelic, Zapp, the Isley Brothers. To be sure, I have literally thousands of negatives and prints in my photographic "morgue," and will be doing exhibits, yes, but also offering up original prints to my literary audience as well.
That said, I've established a Paypal account so that I might personally offer secured transactions in selling original prints of some of our considerably recent (last 40 years) events. I will offer up proofs and thumbnails (small prints) of the photographs rather than putting a gallery on my sight (technological advances allow for such crisp copying now that I'm not showing my "classics" electronically.) So if you would like to view some of my original works, email me and I'll send you a sampling. Shortly, I will reprint a gallery of some of the best shots with a "ghost imprint" across them to show here as a further sampling of my photographic gallery.
December 31, 2012 published in eBook format "Fatalistic Voyages," my 13th novel and my shortest though perhaps among the most impacting. Out now on Amazon.com in paperback and Barnes & Nobles (BN.com in Nook format). You'll love the vivid excitement and portrayal of a scenario I pray few ever have to experience in real life.
November 17, 2012
Finished writing 12th novel, "Backstage Pass," a vivid, exploratory of the music industry and drug use. I will not self-publish this immediately, as I feel it's deserving of a chance to be shopped around to potential agents and publishers. Hang in there! It's 93,029 words of heat and excitement!
June 26, 2012
Been busy lately, making news, breaking news. Did an opinion piece in the Washington Post June 8, 2012 and an Australian radio program which aired there and on line June 26. Also, did an interview with NPR Radio on interracial dating, a minor event in my latest novel. Am frequently updating this site, but to view any of my interviews simply GOOGLE me and I'm sure you'll access all of the news past, and any forthcoming! Again, asking you to check out my latest, "All In the Game." The "50 Shades" trilogy pales in comparison, and even with this one and "Shadows," I certainly penned exotic, erotic tales long before the "Shades" hoopla!!
May 17, 2012
"It's All In the Game" made available in eBook formats (Nook and Kindle). Paperback forthcoming @ Amazon.com and already available in paperback at my publishing house, http://www.lulu.com/. Read this one soon! Probably the one which will generate more national notice than any of my others! Click on the link above to read Chapter One!!
April 21, 2012
Have just finished writing my 11th novel, "It's All In The Game!" Written in a record time of 24 days, this 394-page book takes a steamy look at Internet dating among black people, with Washington, D.C. as the primary "playground," stretching all the way to California, Texas, Chicago, Atlanta! For a little color, the thematics show a host of visitors to black Internet dating sites, white men and women, who are looking for love in the African-American aligned venues. This one is as hot as "Shadows," my novel I wrote and published in my previous record 28 days September, 2011. I can't help myself! I LOVE writing, and eventually I believe the American publishing industry, though compacted now, will take notice. I will publish my new book in paperback and, as I have done recently with all of my books, make them available in electronic format.
Everybody's talking about the significance of this numerical date. Significantly, I awakened from a dream on this morning and took right to the computer; there was a need to not only promote my ten novels written over the past ten years, but to revisit my first novel! I took to the computer, which was not available when I wrote "High Society" back in the mid-1980s. I revised it! Designed a new cover! Retitle it "Joogie," referencing the street name of the drug that was derailing youths back in the 1960s, 1970s and, if that dude standing on the corner "nodding" last week is any indication, still derailing lives. On that day, a Friday and Veterans' Day, I republished "High Society," with minor changes, and a new title. It was immediately available in Kindle format on Amazon.com, in paperback on Lulu.com, and soon to be made available in paperback worldwide via Amazon and Lulu. I believe this was a special calling, for of all my books, my first is among the most personal. Regards and thanks for your continued support!
October 3, 2011
"Shadows," rated XXX, is published and available in Kindle download from Amazon. It is available in paperback from my publisher, LuLu.com. Appreciate paperback purchasers of any of my books get them from Lulu. My royalties are greater than sharing with Amazon!!!!! That being said, "Shadows" WILL be available at Amazon.com in a few weeks! Thanks for your continued support!
September 27, 2011
It didn't seem reasonable, but I did it! After a most glorious summer, ending with a Mandrill concert at Ft. Dupont, I put away my joys and fun, committed to begin my new novel, "Shadows," September 1. Well, I started writing this one and the characters took over! Waking me up at 4:00 a.m. most mornings, or earlier, getting into all sorts of devilment! And a lot of steamy sex, I have to tell you. So, I FINISHED WRITING THIS 290 PAGE NOVEL TODAY, SEPTEMBER 27, record time for me. Just did the cover design and have it with a proofreader at this point. Should be out in Kindle in a week, paperback by mid-October!
May 2, 2011
As "Glenfield Terrace" went to press, I did "Kindle" my eight other novels. Also, I said, what the hey! Put together 70 of my favorite poems and published (paperback AND Kindle) "Continuation of a Dream Past Midnight!" That marks TEN books published in last eleven years!! Next, I'm writing "Barry Farms," a novel about a group of boys out of the SE housing project of the same name, and "Shadows," about a brother from D.C. who goes to a strip club in Jamaica and gets deeply involved with one of its premiere dancers. Those are my forthcoming projects, outside of promoting my ....TEN ....books now available!!!
April 28, 2011
Published ninth novel, "Glenfield Terrace," via LuLu.com and on Kindle via Amazon.com. The Kindle book is only $7.77. The paperback on LuLu is $17.99. I believe people will enjoy not only the story and characters, but the "historical" view of a family moving to the city in 1950 and growing up during tulmultuous times for African Americans. Enjoy and drop me a note when you've finished it!
March 31, 2011
Well, I avoided the electronic realm for a minute, but have decided to publish all my novels now on Kindle, so that they will be available to Kindle users for a quite nominal price. My first novel, "High Society," went live on Kindle March 31, which is a special day for me as it marks my first day of military service during a most tumultuous time in America (Viet Nam) in 1971. I celebrate my EXIT (ETS=End of Tour of Service) March 30, 1973, each year, which also marks my extended sojourn into writing and photography on a professional level. For you Kindle users, I will by summer have all my books available electronically. In the meantime, you can start with "High Society," at a quite reasonable $4.99. Just go to Amazon.com, search Kindle Store for Ronald R. Hanna. A basic book search, of course, will show all of my books. Thanks for you continued support.
January 28, 2011
Yesterday I finished writing my ninth novel, "Glenfield Terrace." It's 406 pages of excitement, and I hope to get it out to the public this spring. Am still querying agents, seeking an establishment publisher. But, as I've done over the years, I will self-publish if no deal is reached.

Excerpt from "The Bank"
When Laila Ramaratnam finished reading the last of a novel that morning, she quietly secured the backpack left her by the young operative who'd represented himself as the Virginia-based lieutenant of Raheem Karza. She didn't have to check the contents, only reassure herself that the blackened wires neatly inlaid in two of the plastic snaps which would secure the backpack to her were there. She paid particular attention to those snaps, making sure they stayed well apart when she donned an overcoat previously aligned with additional explosives, slung the heavy pack over one shoulder and walked through the brisk morning air to the subway station just blocks from her home in Crystal City, VA.
There was a similar backpack setting between the legs of Ziad Saad as he awaited the Red Line train that morning at the Rockville Metro station. It was particularly crowded at that hour, but the jostling by commuters packed into the train bound for downtown, then through the city to other parts of

Russian Region Bans 'Homosexual Propaganda,' but Some Details Still Vague
Russian Region Bans 'Homosexual Propaganda,' but Some Details Still Vague
A new law against "homosexual propaganda" went into effect this week in St. Petersburg, Russia after being signed by Governor Georgy Poltavchenko on March 7.
The regional law threatens fines for anyone found "making public actions among minors for the propaganda of homosexuality, lesbianism, bisexuality or transgenderism." It also calls for fines for "propaganda of pedophilia."
Dr. Paul Cameron, chairman of the Family Research Institute, told The Christian Post he was in Russia in 2008 and was involved in discussions about such a law. He said that St. Petersburg's new ban is a "step in the right direction," although how it will be implemented is somewhat ambiguous.
The FRI chairman said that LGBT parades, whether in the U.S. or in other countries, which are socially sanctioned and celebrated, can and do affect minors, and are powerful recruitment tools for the homosexual movement. He said that he deals with clients whose children are struggling with homosexuality "in substantial part because of these parades."
"[It] looks like the law will keep gay parades off the streets. This is very important, [because] when you allow a fundamentally disruptive anti-social group to hold a parade they are using public facilities and getting public attention." He compared these demonstrations to drug users having a public parade.
The St. Petersburg law is "a very important first step in defending against the gay onslaught" worldwide, he said.
But Polina Savchenko, a leader of a St. Petersburg LGBT group, told The Christian Science Monitor, "No legal experts seem able to explain how this law would be applied in practice."
"There is a fear that it will be used as an instrument to prevent any kind of activity the state doesn't approve of. The language of the law is so vague that it could apply to any kind of public discourse, any discussion of gay issues, in almost any venue. I mean, how can you be sure that minors won't access the Internet, or read mass media discussions?"
Hieromonk Dimitry (Pershin), an expert with the State Duma committee on family, women and children, said in an interview with Interfax-Religion that "the law passed in St. Petersburg will help protect children from information manipulations by minorities promoting sodomy."
"The persistence of sexual minorities and their intention to rally near children's establishments indicate that this regional law is highly needed and should be urgently given federal status. However, it's the job of State Duma deputies," Dimitry said.
Father Dmitry Pershin, a leading official in the Russian Orthodox Church, also wants the law to become a national one. He said in a statement that the law should be applied nationwide "without delay." And it should outlaw the promotion of homosexuality among minors.
But some human rights groups disagree. They are calling on Gov. Poltavchenko to veto the law saying it appears to equate homosexuality with pedophilia and could be used by authorities to crack down on gays.
A Russian gay pride parade organizer, Nikolay Alexeyev, said sexual minorities intended to hold protest rallies near some children's establishments in St. Petersburg to protest the law.
The St. Petersburg legislation was approved in late February, and The New York Times reports that "the law…appears to be a reaction to increasingly vocal efforts by gay rights groups, particularly in St. Petersburg and Moscow, to attract attention to the issue."
The law passed 29 to 5 and states that "public actions directed at the propaganda of sodomy, lesbianism, bisexuality and transgenderism among minors" are punishable with fines.
The Times also reports that the law defines homosexual propaganda as "'the targeted and uncontrolled dissemination of generally accessible information capable of harming the health and moral and spiritual development of minors,' particularly that which could create "a distorted impression" of 'marital relations.'"

Down a seemingly deserted street in Tribeca, a block from the Holland Tunnel, lies an oasis. The lower Manhattan building is large but inconspicuous. At first, you think someone gave you bad directions. But once you get your bearings and walk through a side entrance and are greeted by the friendly maître d', you know that you have come to the right place.
Opened in late 1996 by Drew Nieporent's Myriad Restaurant Group, City Wine & Cigar Co. has fast become a popular dining and watering hole for cigar smokers. On any given night, one can see stockbrokers puffing elbow to elbow with celebrities. In April, Consolidated Cigar Corp. launched the exclusive LeRoy Neiman Selection, one of the sizes that make up the Playboy by Don Diego line, at City Wine & Cigar. And this summer, fashion designer Donna Karan celebrated her birthday here.
For those seeking a soothing smoke or cocktail before dinner, you can choose the large, stylish bar in front, where comfortable silver banquettes await. The liquor and beer selections are extensive and fairly priced. A cozier alternative is the main cigar bar, where cigar smoking paraphernalia is on display and a large walk-in humidor beckons. Brands such as León Jimenes, Partagas and Macanudo are available at competitive cigar bar prices. The staff is knowledgeable on proper cigar etiquette and are more than willing to provide detailed information about particular smokes. In addition, the restaurant leases private wine and cigar lockers.
The main dining room, situated to the left of the cigar bar, is where the real action takes place. The interior is modern; its copper tabletops radiate a warmth and golden ambience that is much in keeping with the swanky cigar bar theme, without resorting to traditional leather and wood.
Once you are seated at one of the comfortable, curved velvet banquettes, the staff's attention is focused on you, while your attention is on the meal ahead. Chef Patricia Williams has created an eclectic mix of south-of-the-border-inspired cuisine that is sure to earn her many fans. With an ever-changing menu, it is difficult to pinpoint what to choose, since some selections won't be available the following week. However, the orange and jicama salad with arugula is a fixture. It combined quite a few flavors and textures without being dense. The jicama was crisp and fresh and was balanced by the bitterness of the arugula, the spiciness of the curry dressing and the pure summer sweetness of the orange slices.
City Wine & Cigar offers entrées ranging from fish to poultry to red meat. A recent menu featured red snapper with salsa on a bed of red rice. The fish was succulent and seasoned to perfection. The bell pepper salsa and Mexican rice added spice and a touch of pizazz. Another featured dish was a guava-glazed tuna with cucumber salad and pumpkin seed vinaigrette. The tuna lacked strong flavors and the guava was hard to detect. The cucumbers were julienned so thinly that they became rather limp. However, the pumpkin seed vinaigrette was mouthwatering.
Dessert was the highlight. We chose the Valrhona chocolate pudding cake with raspberries that's constructed like a mini volcano. Piercing the cake with a fork creates chocolate lava rivulets erupting over the crest. It will satisfy even the most diehard chocoholic.
Based on the restaurant's name, one would expect the wine list not to disappoint, and it doesn't. Sommelier Derek Bromley has obviously gone to great lengths to attain a wide-ranging selection, emphasizing wines from France, California and Italy. He even pairs particular sizes of cigars with particular types of wines. For example, we chose a medium-bodied Italian red, a 1994 Clerico Barbera. It was the perfect summer wine: fruity, with hints of sweet berries, yet rich and smooth. The selection was paired with lonsdales.
A block away from the Holland Tunnel may not seem the ideal location to enjoy a comfortable and stylish dining and smoking experience, but those who make the trip won't be disapppointed.

CCS adapting to COVID-19 realities to support Canadians during and after the pandemic
Dr Peter Dirks
Peter Dirks' research is proving that not all brain cancer cells are created equal – a key finding that could lead to much-needed breakthroughs in treatment.
As a neurosurgeon, Dr Dirks knows all too well that brain tumours are among the most difficult to treat. As a researcher, his findings are helping to explain why.
Five years ago, he published a groundbreaking paper showing that a small but potent group of cells within a brain tumour are responsible for its growth. "Most of the cells in the tumour do not drive growth," he explains. "It's these rare cells with specialized stem cell properties that drive the tumour's growth."
The finding raises many crucial questions that he is now trying to answer. Where do the cancer stem cells come from? How do they survive radiation and chemotherapy? And most importantly, can we find ways to destroy them?
"I think my team really sees this as a new hope to gain understanding and find new treatments," says Dr Dirks, who works at Toronto's Hospital for Sick Children. "We now have special insight into how cancer is organized. We have in our hands the cell type that seems to be most important within the cancer. Now we have a much better chance of stamping out those cells."
The Canadian Cancer Society has funded Dr Dirks' research from the start and continues to do so with 2 separate grants.
With one grant, Dr Dirks recently showed that brain tumours in laboratory mice are also driven by stem cells. "That's really important because we can now use mice to study the complexities of these stem cells and to find better treatments for humans."
With his second grant, he is testing drugs now used for other brain diseases to see if they can kill cancer stem cells. He can do this efficiently because he's developed a system for growing cultures of patients' cancer stem cells. Now he can inject different drugs into dishes of lab-grown cells and watch what happens.
"We've found about 40 drugs that seem to have an activity on those cells. So that's exciting. The best new drug might actually be an old drug with a new use." He hopes the most promising drugs will be ready for clinical trials within the next 5 years.
The lab-grown cell cultures might also prove useful in the clinic. Doctors could take a tumour sample from a patient, grow cancer stem cells in a culture dish, and test different drugs on them. "It's a form of individualized medicine. We have the patient's actual tumour cells growing in a dish. We could find out fairly quickly which drugs would be most effective for that person. That's really what we'd like to see happen down the road."
Together we can reduce the burden of cancer
Last year, we only had the resources available to fund 40% of high-priority research projects. Imagine the impact we could have if we were able to fund 100%.

Orion above the VLT
The great hunter Orion hangs above ESO's Very Large Telescope (VLT), in this stunning, previously unseen, image. As the VLT is in the Southern Hemisphere, Orion is seen here head down, as if plunging towards the Chilean Atacama Desert.
At night the four giant 8.2-metre Unit Telescopes of the VLT are all turned skywards to help astronomers in their quest to understand the Universe. The band of the Milky Way, crisscrossed by contrasting dark dust lanes, stretches up over the VLT's Unit Telescope 3 (Melipal), with the bright star Capella glinting just above the telescope. Up and to the left, Orion's belt and sword, containing the Orion Nebula, lie between the blue star Rigel and the orange Betelgeuse. The red Rosetta Nebula is seen in the middle part of the Milky Way, while Sirius, the brightest star in the night sky, hangs above the scene. The red patch just above the VLT Unit Telescope 2 (Kueyen) is the California Nebula, nicely offset by the blue of the beautiful Pleiades star cluster a little to the left and above.

Fung Ying Seen Koon
While most people associate the Hong Kong skyline with glittering monuments to international finance, in Fanling it's an entirely different type of structure that dominates the horizon. From its commanding hillside location, one of the city's most important Taoist temples immediately catches the eye with its massive orange-tiled double roof, built in traditional Chinese design and supported by stout red pillars of stone.
Founded in 1929, Fung Ying Seen Koon was named after the two fairy islands of Fung Lai and Ying Chau, and is believed by many to be the dwelling place of immortals. From the larger structures, such as its pavilions and halls, to its tinier details, including the tiles and decorative elements, Fung Ying Seen Koon is a paradigm of Taoist design.
The blue ceiling inside the main palace (which is called the Great Palace of the Three Sages) represents the Heavens. If you look up you can also spot clouds, ornamental columns and fairy crowns on the ceiling. In front of the temple's Ancestral Hall is the Wall of Tao Te Ching, where 81 chapters of the famous work Tao Te Ching by the ancient Chinese philosopher Laozi are inscribed.
In line with many of Hong Kong's larger temples, a vegetarian restaurant serves wholesome fare to visitors.

Published by the House of Anansi Press, the book is a compilation of Turok's CBC Massey Lectures, which were delivered across Canada in 2012. It examines how human curiosity has driven breakthroughs in physics that have shaped our world, and offers a visionary look at how the human mind can shape the future.
The Lane Anderson Award, now in its fourth year, is an annual prize honouring excellence in Canadian science writing. Two awards are given – one highlights a book written for adult readers, the other for children and/or middle grade readers. Authors of the winning books each receive $10,000.
The jury lauded The Universe Within's unique blend of science and inspiration, saying, "No science story could be bigger or more daunting than this – the origin and future of the universe. But Turok brings a rare humanism to his subject, revealing not only the wonder of the ever expanding universe, out there, but of the universe of compassion and curiosity within ourselves. Ultimately, as he states, 'Science is about people.'"
In accepting the award, Turok said, "I am thrilled and humbled by this honour. The lectures and the book were my attempt to show that our understanding of the universe connects deeply to our shared humanity – to who we are, and who we can be."
- The Universe Within is widely available at bookstores
- Audio of the Massey Lectures is available on iTunes

This is a long shot, but I have an english saddle that I need to sell. Well, need isn't the right word. I wish I could keep it, but I just have no use for it and probably won't for a loooong time. It's a Zaldi, not sure on the size. I want to say 17", but I'm just not positive (I'd have to go look, it's in storage). It is in need of slight repair, one of the knee rolls is ripped. It's not a deep rip, just the leather on the outside is ripped. The prior owner said that a horse hit a mailbox with it, and that's why it's ripped? I just used it for trail riding and it worked fine. Probably something you'd want to get fixed though.
As far as price, I'm taking offers. I know a *few* people on here ride, so if you're interested or know someone that might be, let me know. I'll get pictures for you.

People vs. Places
Timothy Burkhart hit us up to let us know about a project he's been working on with fellow photographer Stephanie Bassos called People vs. Places
"This double exposure project allows us to step back from having full control of the image making process and trust in one another while allowing coincidences to happen naturally on film. Stephanie exposes a full roll of 35mm film of only "people," and Timothy reloads the film again into the same camera, to imprint only "places" and locations to the same roll. These images are all the end result of our ongoing series and are unedited negatives straight from the camera."
Check it out here and keep reading to check out a few more images.

Since the parents and brother are already Manila bound on Saturday and Joaquin's Birthday is still a few weeks away, my sister decided to have an early celebration. We went to Chuck E. Cheese this evening! :)
We had pizza and salad and bottomless soda and lotsa lotsa fun! We got tokens bundled with our food order but Mommy and Daddy had so much fun playing that they ended up buying more tokens for all of us! Read: 200 tokens more! Hihihihi. See, each game requires only one token in exchange for tickets everytime we win. So we were there for about three hours and we were able to collect more than 2000 tickets! It wasn't tiring as the crowd was just few and the music wasn't too loud. The manang in me thought I won't be able to take it (you know, am not too keen on arcades such as CEC and Timezone).
Joaquin went home (in exchange for our winnings) with a CEC shirt, 5 mini-pirate toys and a bag of cotton candy. While we, the adults, went home grinning from ear to ear. I would gladly go there again :)

Cautious A's schedule another sim game for Anderson
CINCINNATI -- Though all signs pointed to Brett Anderson beginning a rehab assignment this week, the A's have yet to decide when that time will actually come, as they continue to be guarded with their lefty.
Anderson threw live batting practice for the second time in four days Tuesday, this time without a screen in Stockton, Calif., home of the Class A Ports. He threw two sets of 31 pitches "and everything went fine," manager Bob Melvin said Wednesday.
Despite already building up to nearly 70 pitches, Anderson is scheduled to throw his third simulated game Saturday, rather than make a rehab start.
"We're really trying to make sure he's able to handle it with the foot," Melvin said. "We've been down this road once before, too, and [the injury] came back, so we're being pretty careful with that."
Anderson suffered a right ankle sprain that forced him to miss a start in April, only to enter the game in relief and pitch 5 1/3 innings of a 19-inning win against the Angels. Ultimately, the injury turned into a stress fracture in his right foot, and he hasn't pitched since.

Sergio Vieira de Mello: Philosopher Diplomat
In Chasing the Flame (Penguin, 2008) Samantha Power, who is now U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, gives us the enthralling, inspiring, and maddening story of Sergio Vieira de Mello. An international crisis man sometimes described as a humanitarian James Bond, Vieira de Mello was a brilliant and deeply humane UN diplomat whose combination of passionate idealism with hard-nosed pragmatism was repeatedly frustrated by forces larger than himself, including the shortcomings of his own organization, the UN. His was a thrilling life prematurely ended in 2003 by a bomb in Baghdad while he served as the UN chief of mission in Iraq.
This diplomat, who shuttled from one conflict zone to another to defuse international crises, was not only a man of action, but also a man of deep thought, a man after philosophy. A brief statement from early in his career reveals that for Vieira de Mello, philosophy not only provided the internal grounding for the bold pursuit of justice to which he devoted his life, but was also at the core of what makes us human. In his words below, he also echoes the ancients' (was it Plato? It was probably Plato) insight that just as those who are most gifted have the greatest potential for good, they also have the greatest potential for evil. We're reminded that this applies to the realm of thought and ideas as well.
After receiving the highest grades in philosophy at the Sorbonne in Paris, Vieira de Mello wrote to his ex-girlfriend:
"'But for what?'…if he had studied economics or marketing instead, 'some American company would have assured me a "happy future" strewn with dollars.' He would never sell out, he told her, and 'just short of dying of hunger,' he would 'never abandon philosophy.' The philosopher, he wrote, could become either 'the most just man' or the 'the most radical bandit.' Either way, he insisted, 'to do philosophy is to have it in your blood and to do what very few will do – to both be a man and to think everywhere and always.'" (21)

(By Delegates Manypenny, Doyle, Mahan,
Guthrie, Canterbury, Iaquinta, Barker, Hartman,
Brown and Hatfield)
[Introduced January 11, 2012
; referred to the
Committee on the Judiciary.]
A BILL to amend the Code of West Virginia, 1931, as amended, by adding thereto a new section, designated §36-4-19, relating to making covenants that restrict the installation or use of solar energy systems unenforceable; and provides civil penalties.
Be it enacted by the Legislature of West Virginia:
That the Code of West Virginia, 1931, as amended, be amended by adding thereto a new section, designated §36-4-19, to read as follows:
§36-4-19. Solar energy covenants unenforceable; penalty.
(a) Any covenant, restriction, or condition contained in any
deed, contract, security instrument, or other instrument affecting
the transfer or sale of, or any interest in, real property, and any
provision of a governing document that effectively prohibits or restricts the installation or use of a solar energy system is void and unenforceable.
(b) This section does not apply to provisions that impose reasonable restrictions on solar energy systems. However, it is the
policy of the state to promote and encourage the use of solar energy systems and to remove obstacles thereto. Accordingly, reasonable restrictions on a solar energy system are those restrictions that do not significantly increase the cost of the system or significantly decrease its efficiency or specified performance, or that allow for an alternative system of comparable cost, efficiency, and energy conservation benefits.
(c)(1) A solar energy system shall meet applicable health and
safety standards and requirements imposed by state and local permitting authorities.
(2) A solar energy system for heating water shall be certified by the Solar Rating Certification Corporation (SRCC) or other nationally recognized certification agencies. SRCC is a nonprofit third party supported by the United States Department of Energy. The certification shall be for the entire solar energy system and
(3) A solar energy system for producing electricity shall also
meet all applicable safety and performance standards established by
the National Electrical Code, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, and accredited testing laboratories such as
Underwriters Laboratories and, where applicable, rules of the Public Service Commission regarding safety and reliability.
(d) For the purposes of this section:
(1)(A) For solar domestic water heating systems or solar swimming pool heating systems that comply with state and federal law, "significantly" means an amount exceeding twenty percent of the cost of the system or decreasing the efficiency of the solar energy system by an amount exceeding twenty percent, as originally specified and proposed.
(B) For photovoltaic systems that comply with state and federal law, "significantly" means an amount not to exceed $2,000 over the system cost as originally specified and proposed, or a decrease in system efficiency of an amount exceeding twenty percent as originally specified and proposed.
(2) "Solar energy system" means a system that uses solar devices, which are thermally isolated from living space or any other area where the energy is used, to provide for the collection, storage, or distribution of solar energy.
(e)(1) Whenever approval is required for the installation or use of a solar energy system, the application for approval shall be
processed and approved by the appropriate approving entity in the
same manner as an application for approval of an architectural modification to the property and may not be willfully avoided or
(2) For an approving entity that is a homeowners' association, and that is not a public entity, both of the following apply:
(A) The approval or denial of an application shall be in writing; and
(B) If an application is not denied in writing within sixty days from the date of receipt of the application, the application is deemed approved, unless that delay is the result of a reasonable request for additional information.
(f) Any entity, other than a public entity, that willfully violates this section is liable to the applicant or other party for actual damages occasioned thereby, and shall pay a civil penalty to the applicant or other party in an amount not to exceed $1,000.
(g) In any action to enforce compliance with this section, the
prevailing party shall be awarded reasonable attorney's fees.
(h)(1) A public entity that fails to comply with this section may not receive funds from a state-sponsored grant or loan program for solar energy. A public entity shall certify its compliance with the requirements of this section when applying for funds from a state-sponsored grant or loan program.
(2) A local public entity may not exempt residents in its jurisdiction from the requirements of this section.
(i) Notwithstanding other provisions of this section, any association may impose reasonable provisions that:
(1) Restrict the installation of solar energy systems installed in common areas to those systems approved by the association;
(2) Require the owner of a separate interest to obtain the approval of the association for the installation of a solar energy system in a separate interest owned by another;
(3) Provide for the maintenance, repair, or replacement of roofs or other building components; and
(4) Require installers of solar energy systems to indemnify or
reimburse the association or its members for loss or damage caused by the installation, maintenance, or use of the solar energy system.
NOTE: The purpose of this bill makes covenants that restrict the installation or use of solar energy systems unenforceable. The bill also addresses homeowners' associations. The bill further provides guidelines and sets forth civil penalties.
This section is new; therefore, it has been completely underscored.

My name Elias. Age: 18. Service : Find this guy
Christy invited me over to see her new spacious loft. When I arrived Christy greeted with a huge hug, I felt her nice big tits and hard nipples which got me excited. I was fixated on her amazing body during our elevator ride up to her loft, she was wearing tight jeans that accentuated her curvy hips and big booty so it was hard to concentrate on our conversation. Christy made an attempt at showing me her place but i was only interested in seeing her monster booty so she gave me the tour with ass out. After worshiping her her perfect ass and tits, I called Manuel over. Soon after arriving, Manuel was deep in Christy's tight little pussy. He relentlessly fucked all over the loft and eventually blasted his load in her pretty mouth.

CHINESE CRACKER: Topshop has created a short film to celebrate Chinese New Year, its first campaign to mark the occasion, which falls on Feb. 8 this year.
The film, called "Lanterns," is set in London and sees two models watch as lanterns float over the capital and the Houses of Parliament. It is set to a cover of "This Little Light of Mine" by Berend Dubbe and Gwen Thomas, and ends by wishing the viewer a "Happy Chinese New Year" in English and "Prosperous New Year" in traditional Chinese characters.
This story first appeared in the January 30, 2013 issue of WWD. Subscribe Today.
The film lasts 58 seconds, a consideration made to coincide with Chinese superstitions of numerology using the luckiest numbers 5 and 8, both of which are symbols of wealth and prosperity.
VIDEO: Click Here to See the Film >>
The film will make its debut Wednesday on Topshop's Chinese social networks and all of its platforms globally including YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, Google+, Pinterest and Instagram. Topshop currently has more than 10 million followers on its Chinese Weibo site and more than 6 million across its other social media channels. The first Topshop store in China will open in May, with a flagship in Hong Kong.
Additionally, in keeping with the Chinese New Year tradition to gift "Lucky Money" as a wish of prosperity, the brand has created limited-edition lucky red gift cards and envelopes, which will be available in its flagships and online globally.

Larry Sabato: Political pundit and proud of it
Larry Sabato is running late. When he finally arrives in the building, one of his staffers announces the approach of "Hurricane Larry."
The UVA Center for Politics, which Sabato heads, has just launched its Crystal Ball website with his predictions for the midterm elections. As a result, he's gotten about 60 phone calls that day. But then, that's why the Wall Street Journal calls Sabato "the most quoted college professor in the land."
Sabato credits his father with first sparking his interest in politics, and he remembers watching with him the 1960 conventions that nominated Richard Nixon and John F. Kennedy. "He was very interested in public affairs," says Sabato. "This is his legacy."
Larry Sabato's legacy could very well be to polish up the tarnished reputation of politics, which is, after all, an essential element of a democratic government. His mantra is "Politics is a good thing," and he's just succeeded in changing the blandly named Center for Governmental Studies to the more apt Center for Politics.
And how's this for legitimacy? The Center is launching a $20 million capital campaign, part of which will go toward renovating its new digs, the antebellum Birdwood Pavilion.
As oft-quoted as he is, there's one thing no one not even his mother– knows about Sabato: what goes on behind the curtain of the voting booth. "I never reveal that," he says. "I'm an independent contrarian."

O.k., the following post may be (mathematically) trivial, but could be somewhat useful for people that do simulations/testing of statistical methods.
Let's say we want to test the dependence of p-values derived from a t-test to a) the ratio of means between two groups, b) the standard deviation or c) the sample size(s) of the two groups. For this setup we would need to i.e. generate two groups with defined and .
Often encountered in simulations is that groups are generated with rnorm and then plugged into the simulation. However (and evidently), it is clear that sampling from a normal distribution does not deliver a vector with exactly defined statistical properties (although the "law of large numbers" states that with enough large sample size it converges to that…).
For example,
> x <- rnorm(1000, 5, 2) > mean(x) [1] 4.998388 > sd(x) [1] 2.032262
shows what I meant above ().
Luckily, we can create vectors with exact mean and s.d. by a "scaled-and-shifted z-transformation" of an input vector :
where sd is the desired standard deviation and mean the desired mean of the output vector Z.
The code is simple enough:
statVec <- function(x, mean, sd) { X <- x MEAN <- mean SD <- sd Z <- (((X - mean(X, na.rm = TRUE))/sd(X, na.rm = TRUE))) * SD MEAN + Z }
So, using this on the rnorm-generated vector x from above:
> z <- statVec(x, 5, 2) > mean(z) [1] 5 > sd(z) [1] 2
we have created a vector with exact statistical properties, which is also normally distributed since multiplication and addition of a normal distribution preserves normality.
Cheers, Andrej

Set Up SAP Data Hub, Developer Edition
You will learn
During this tutorial, you will learn how to download SAP Data Hub, developer edition, and run it on your local computer as a Docker container.
Running SAP Data Hub, developer edition on your local computer requires:
at least 2 CPU cores (recommended 4 CPU cores) with
X86_64instruction set
at least 8 GB of RAM
at least 10 GB disk space for a running Docker container
Internet connectivity (temporarily while building the Docker image)
Docker installed and running (http://www.docker.com)
Attention: If you use Docker for Windows, make sure that you run Linux and not Windows containers. You can check this via the Docker for Windows context menu. If necessary, switch to Linux containers via the context menu.
Attention: If you use Docker Toolbox, pay special attention to the sizing of the Linux VM. For details take a look at our FAQ.
Verify that Docker is properly installed and running by opening a terminal window and entering the following.
docker run hello-world
You see an output similar to the following:
Download SAP Data Hub, developer edition and unpack the archive to your disk. You find it via the following link.
Carefully read the
README.html as well as the license agreement prior to continuing with the tutorial.
Open and review the
Dockerfile with any text editor. For now you do not have to understand the file in detail. If you run behind a proxy, you do have to ensure that the proxy settings for Internet access are maintained correctly.
ENV http_proxy=http://myproxy:8080
ENV https_proxy=http://myproxy:8080
Open a terminal window and navigate to the directory where you have unpacked the archive (that is the directory which includes the
Dockerfile). Build the docker image for SAP Data Hub, developer edition.
docker build --tag datahub .
After some time (depending on the speed of your internet connection) the build completes. Verify that your local Docker registry now includes a new image (called
datahub) for SAP Data Hub, developer edition by entering the following.
docker images
You see an output similar to the following:
Create a Docker network by opening a terminal window (or using the already open one). This will later help you to easily connect the container running SAP Data Hub, developer edition (which you will soon start) with other containers. Enter the following command.
docker network create dev-net
Run a Docker container based on image
datahub. By publishing the ports
9225 and
30115 you ensure that you later can access the different user interfaces running inside the Docker container via
docker run -ti --env VORA_USERNAME=vora --env VORA_PASSWORD=SomeNicePassword19920706 --publish 8090:8090 --publish 9225:9225 --publish 30115:30115 --name datahub --hostname datahub --network dev-net datahub run --agree-to-sap-license
After a few minutes (during which you can follow what happens inside the container), you see an output ("status loop") similar to the following. The output refreshes every minute and indicates that all services related to SAP Data Hub, developer edition are running.
Attention: If you press
Ctrl-C during the "status loop", this will stop the running container (see also step 6).
Now that we have our
datahub container up and running, we would start a separate container for
Open a new command prompt and run the following command :
docker run -ti --publish 50070:50070 --name hdfs --hostname hdfs --net dev-net datahub run-hdfs
After the installations are completed, the container would be started. You would be able to see the following output in the command prompt :
Open a web browser and test the following URLs (replace
localhost with the IP address returned by
docker-machine ip command, if running in Docker Toolbox).
http://localhost:8090(SAP Data Hub Modeler)
http://localhost:9225(SAP Vora Tools)
http://localhost:50070(Apache Hadoop User Interface)
Where necessary enter Username and Password which you have set while starting the Container using the Docker built image (
VORA_USERNAME and
VORA_PASSWORD environment variables)
If all URLs are working, you can assume that you have successfully set up SAP Data Hub, developer edition on your local computer.
You can stop SAP Data Hub, developer edition by using the
stop command. After you used the above
run command, you need to open a new terminal window to enter the
stop command (alternatively you can use
docker stop datahub
You can also restart SAP Data Hub, developer edition (without creating a completely new container) by using the
start command (this will not open a "status loop"). The
-i option ensures that you see the "status loop".
docker start -i datahub
Attention: When stopping and restarting the Docker container, currently the tables which you have created in SAP Vora get lost. You need to recreate them.
If you like to see what is going on (after you have issued a
start command) you can take a look at the logs.
docker logs datahub

A veteran Boston police officer who has been suspended in the past for a domestic altercation pleaded not guilty on Monday to charges of raping and indecently assaulting a woman, officials said.
Henderson Parker, 45, of Roslindale, entered his plea in West Roxbury District Court and was ordered held on $1,000 cash bail, though prosecutors had requested $2,500, said Jake Wark, a spokesman for Suffolk District Attorney Daniel F. Conley.
Telephone numbers listed for Parker were out of service on Monday night.
His lawyer, Thomas Drechsler, said in a phone interview that Parker "absolutely denies those charges.'' He said Parker was in the process of posting bail after his arraignment, but it was not immediately clear if he had posted as of late Monday night.
Drechsler said that Parker's accuser has not taken out a civil restraining order against him, which Wark confirmed.
The alleged assault occurred at about 11 p.m. on Sunday at a Roslindale residence, according to Wark. He declined to confirm whether Parker lives at the address.
Cheryl Fiandaca, a Boston police spokeswoman, said she did not know whether he lives there.
She said that Parker turned himself in to the Roxbury district station on Sunday night, and he has been placed on paid leave while the case is pending. She said that Internal Affairs is also investigating, and that Parker has surrendered his service weapon.
"We take them very seriously,'' Fiandaca said of the charges. "We investigated the case, and we did arrest him. He did turn himself in, and we will let him go through the process.''
Neither Boston police nor the district attorney's office released additional details of the incident.
Parker, an 18-year veteran of the force, was suspended for 30 days in 2002 following "a physical confrontation of a domestic nature that resulted in injuries,'' according to a police record released to the Globe in 2008. The record did not provide any more details, but Police Commissioner Edward F. Davis said at the time that the confrontation did not happen while Parker was on duty.
Parker was one of nine officers involved in the 2008 arrest of David Woodman, a 22-year-old man with a heart condition who stopped breathing after being taken into police custody during a Celtics championship celebration. Woodman died 11 days later.
Boston police and separate investigations by Conley and an independent panel found that Woodman may have stopped breathing for several minutes before officers realized his condition, but that his death was not a consequence of a violent struggle that he had with them.
In 2010, the city paid $3 million to Woodman's family to settle a civil rights lawsuit.
Davis has said that Parker had no physical contact with Woodman during the arrest. None of the officers involved were disciplined in the matter.
Parker is due back in court on Feb. 22, Wark said.
Be civil. Be kind.Read our full community guidelines.

Talks to tackle people smuggling begin in Bali
By Indonesia correspondent George Roberts, staff
Foreign Minister Bob Carr says 37 countries have agreed to outlaw people smuggling and cooperate in cracking down on illegal traffic at an international forum in Bali.
The Bali Process ministerial conference begun with Indonesia's foreign minister, Marty Natelegawa, calling for better prevention and early detection to stop people smuggling and human trafficking.
Senator Carr, who is attending the forum with Immigration Minister Brendan O'Connor, says a closed session of the 37 countries attending agreed to engage an expert law enforcement and training organisation to coordinate a crackdown on people smuggling.
"Among the commitments that have been agreed on are the criminalisation, in the strongest expression, of people smuggling," he said.
The meeting has also agreed to form a partnership with the Jakarta Centre for Law Enforcement Cooperation - a move also aimed at boosting the police and border security response to people smuggling.
Speaking earlier, Senator Carr said other countries needed to help with law enforcement and protecting borders.
"No one country can address these issues alone," he said.
The Australian Government has announced more than 1,000 asylum seeker arrivals since the start of last week and it is expecting the number of boat arrivals to increase dramatically.
The Greens are calling on the Government to take more refugees directly from Indonesia while senior ministers are in Bali.
But Opposition immigration spokesman Scott Morrison says there is a risk in doing that.
"One of the problems of increasing the intake out of Indonesia, and the Indonesian government have expressed concern about this themselves on occasions, is it creates a magnet for people to come to Indonesia," Mr Morrison said.
But Mr Morrison said he welcomed the creation of a new working group.
He also renewed his call for the policies which applied under the Howard Government to be restored.
