SLPD: 3 arrested/questioned were not connected to teen's shooting
St. Louis police say three people taken into custody yesterday aren't connected to the murder of a teen who was gunned down near a school bus stop Tuesday morning.
Police say 16 year old James Moore had been waiting for the school bus at Goodfellow and St. Louis Avenue when a masked man got out of a car, chased him into a nearby park and shot him several times. Moore died at the scene.
Later in the day, police stopped a car matching the description of the one used in the murder. The three suspects from that car who were initially questioned in the murder didn't get off scot-free. They're facing charges for fleeing from police.
The investigation into Moore's death is ongoing. Anyone with information is asked to call CrimeStoppers at 1-866-371-TIPS.
UPDATE: Two suspects arrested in shooting of 12 yr old girl
Two men wanted for shooting a 12 year old girl Sunday are now in police custody.
Police say the two men had been arguing at Loretta Hall Park near 15th and Cole when they fired several shots. Police believe it was a stray bullet that hit the girl in the hand. The men fled the scene.
St. Louis Police spokesperson Schron Jackson says the suspects were arrested Tuesday at an apartment in the 1000 block of Suntree Drive in St. Louis County.
The suspects are being withheld until charges are filed.
UPDATE: One dead, one critical after north city shooting
One man is dead and another is in critical condition after a shooting in North St. Louis Tuesday afternoon.
Police say about 4 p.m, a man approached a home near Fairground Park. He reportedly yelled at the people sitting on the front porch and then fired shots at them.
One man was hit in the chest. He later died. Another man was hit in the back. He's hospitalized in critical, but stable condition.
Police say a 20 year old man has been taken into custody in connection to the shooting. Police say a disagreement over a debt led to the confrontation.
9 year old dies after shot in head
St. Louis police say a 9 year old boy who was shot while riding in a car early Wednesday morning has died.
Police say Tyrese Short had been riding in a car with his father, another man and a woman in north St. Louis, when a man in another car shot him. No one else was injured.
The boy was taken to a nearby police station for help. He was rushed to St. Louis Children's Hospital, but died later in the day.
St. Louis Police Captain Michael Sack says investigator suspect that the boy's father or the 22 year old man driving had been the gunman's target. An 18 year old woman was also in the car. Police say it's unclear why the child and his father were out at 3:30 in the morning.
No information has been released about a possible suspect.
LATEST: Nine-yr-old boy shot in north city
A nine-year-old boy continues to fight for his life after being shot in the head overnight.
St. Louis Police say the child was riding in a car with his father and two other men, an 18-year-old and a 22-year-old. They were travelling on Goodfellow near Lillian Avenue around 3:30am Wednesday when the boy was hit.
They took the child to a nearby police station for help where he was rushed to St. Louis Children's Hospital. Police tell KTRS news no one else was hurt.
Goodfellow was closed Wednesday morning between Lillian and Sherry Avenues while police investigated.
Arrest made in Highland shooting
Wednesday, the St. Louis Circuit Attorney announced charges against a suspect in one Tuesday night shooting.
Davonta Coleman faces several charges after allegedly shooting six people outside of a north St. Louis home around 10:30 Tuesday night. The victims told police that two cars stopped in front of the house and Coleman got out of one vehicle and started shooting.
The incident could be the result of a dispute between two families, but the investigation continues.
Multiple overnight shootings wound 16 in city of St. Louis
A night of violence has left 16 people with gunshot wounds from four separate incidents in the city of St. Louis.
Police say all of the victims are expected to recover. Police were called to Highland and Marcus in north St. Louis about 10:30 p.m. when five people were shot. Four of them were juveniles and one was an adult.
Then about 30-minutes later, three more people were shot about a mile from the first scene, in the 800 block of Aubert Avenue.
The third shooting was in south St. Louis. About 11:30 p.m. two people were shot in the 3800 block of Hartford Avenue.
About 1 a.m, four people were injured in a drive-by shooting at Warren and 19th Streets. That shooting involved in AK-47.
It's not known if any of the shootings were related. All of the victims are expected to recover.
Town hall meeting held to tackle violence in north St. Louis
The murder of a north city teen is bringing a community together in an effort to combat violence. His family watched in horror as 16 year old Pierre Childs was shot in the back in front of his home May 7th. Police have no suspects in his murder.
Tuesday night the teen's family, police and a group called "Positive Alternatives for Youth, Inc." held a town hall meeting to work on a plan to curb violence in north St. Louis. The plan includes drug sweeps and increased police patrols along with workforce training and GED classes.
St. Louis Police Major Ronnie Robinson says his department is backing the plan. "This is an issue for us, a very important issue of concern because of the fact that summertime is coming," he said. "And you know, as the hotter it gets, sometimes it gets more aggressive on the streets as far as criminal activity is concerned."
It's not known yet if Mayor Francis Slay or the Board of Aldermen will do the same.
Speeding car crashes into north city apartment building
A Jennings woman is in serious but stable condition after she crashed her car into a north city apartment building Thursday night. It happened just before midnight at Martin Luther King and Burd.
The crash punched a hole in the Arlington Grove Jeffery L. Boyd building. Crews spent most of Friday morning cleaning up the mess.
St.Louis police say the 33 year old woman had been speeding, blowing through two stop signs along Dr. King, before swerving to avoid a stopped car. That's when she lost control, hit two stop signs, a light pole and a metal trash can before crashing into the building.
Police say no one inside the building was hurt.
Pedestrian very critical after being struck in Baden
Police say the victim, a man in his 50's, was taken to Barnes Jewish Hospital with two broken legs and a head injury.

An Outsider's Look At The Canadian Medical System
I just watched a film called Dead Meat, about the Canadian Medical System. Though it was made by Americans, I think it provides a very balanced look at our system. It has long been clear that one's perception of our nationalized medical system is great ... if you don't have to use it. But when you do, there often is an abrupt and painful wake-up call about how long you'll have to wait to get the help you suddenly need.
The American system is far from perfect. My recollection is that about 40 Million people in the U.S. have no medical insurance. But the choice for us Canadians is not binary - ie. either we stay with our failed system or change to an American one. There are a plethora of other models we could & should look at, including several good ones in Western Europe. But denial is alive & well in Canada, especially if you drink the Socialist Kool-Aid or are trying to get re-elected.
At a fundamental level, any system that has unlimited demand and limited supply is doomed to failure. That's an indisputable fact - no matter what system we're talking about - but one that has been ignored by the powers at be and citizens at large. And with the taxpayer base (% of working adults) shrinking, the supply will continue to diminish.
To use a medical analogy, only when the pain is substantial, will the patient (the medical system) be properly treated. I used to think that such childish behaviour ended by the time a person reached the age of 5. But in many ways I think our collective society behaves much like a 3-year old!

Great story. Glad this service is in Canada. The voice recognition software they use is pretty amazing.
NP Rank:
Today Google Inc. launched a Canadian version of its voice-recognition local search phone service GOOG-411. Canada becomes the first country outside the U.S. to gain access to the service.
Google has built an empire by helping people find their way through the tangled brush of the Internet -- and supplying tiny ads along the edges of those searches -- but has since branched out to provide tools that help users find directions (Google Maps), view the world in the form of maps or satellite images (Google Earth) and even track the movement of the stars in the sky (Google Sky).
With GOOG-411, users dial a hotline -- 1-800-GOOG-411 -- and respond to the questions posed by the voice-recognizing computer on the other end.
Much like a movie theatre search service, it asks for the user's city and province, then what they are searching for. A request for "pizza" made from the Globe and Mail newsroom in downtown Toronto yielded eight responses, and the service listed the choices and offered addresses for each.
A user can then choose whether to hear the phone number, be connected directly to the business or receive a text message with the details of the restaurant. There is also an option to have a Google Map link sent to the screen of their phone.
"We incorporated some Canadianisms such as "eh," "Traw-na," "Cal-gry," and, of course, "aboot."
The service is currently only available in English, but Google said it is working on a French version of the site.
But it also seems to me that there's a hidden story here about the speech recognition itself. I was talking recently to Eckart Walther of Yahoo!, who used to be at Tellme, and he pointed out that speech recognition took a huge leap in capability when automated speech recognition started being used for directory assistance. All of a sudden, there were millions of voices, millions of accents to train speech recognition systems on, and much less need for the individual user to train the system.
This is reminiscent of a comment that Peter Norvig, Director of Research at Google, made to me last year about automated translation, and why it's getting better. "We don't have better algorithms. We just have more data."
In short, I'm speculating that the 1-800-GOOG-411 service is designed to harvest voice data to build Google's own speech database, rather than licensing from Nuance or another player.
Great story. Glad this service is in Canada. The voice recognition software they use is pretty amazing.
Excellent. I've had enough of humans.
Rob Peters, I like this story. It's good stuff.
Rob Peters, I like this story. It's good stuff.
aboot? Hilarious!
I was at an electronics store the other day, and noticed that many of the cordless home phones now have a Google branded "GOOG411" button on them for directory assistance.
It's curious to me that google launches so many products. Many of them die, wither, or remain obscure. Google Base is a good example, or in this same space, grandcentral.com. Then, they have a hit like Goog411, and they don't seem to push hard enough.
Posted on my blog a while back with a list of other free 411 services, including Google's.

Journalism and Journalists
» "Journalism is literature in a hurry."
– Matthew Arnold
» "Journalism over here is not only an obsession but a drawback that cannot be overrated. Politicians are frightened of the press, and in the same way as bull-fighting has a brutalizing effect upon Spain (of which she is unconscious), headlines of murder, rape, and rubbish, excite and demoralize the American public."
– Margot Asquith
» "The lowest form of popular culture — lack of information, misinformation, misinformation, and a contempt for the truth or the reality of most people's lives — has overrun real journalism. Today, ordinary Americans are being stuffed with garbage."
– Carl Bernstein
» "A journalist is a person who has mistaken their calling."
– Otto Von Bismarck
» "We need not be theologians to see that we have shifted responsibility for making the world interesting from God to the newspaperman."
– Daniel J. Boorstin
» "I find I journalize too tediously. Let me try to abbreviate."
– James Boswell
» "Write the news as if your very life depended on it. It does!"
– Heywood Broun
» "Journalism could be described as turning one's enemies into money."
– Craig Brown
» "People accuse journalism of being too personal; but to me it has always seemed far too impersonal. It is charged with tearing away the veils from private life; but it seems to me to be always dropping diaphanous but blinding veils between men and men. The Yellow Press is abused for exposing facts which are private; I wish the Yellow Press did anything so valuable. It is exactly the decisive individual touches that it never gives; and a proof of this is that after one has met a man a million times in the newspapers it is always a complete shock and reversal to meet him in real life."
– Gilbert K. Chesterton
» "Journalism consists largely in saying "Lord James is dead" to people who never knew Lord James was alive."
– Gilbert K. Chesterton
» "Journalism is popular, but it is popular mainly as fiction. Life is one world, and life seen in the newspapers another."
– Gilbert K. Chesterton
» "Evidently there are plenty of people in journalism who have neither got what they liked nor quite grown to like what they get. They write pieces they do not much enjoy writing, for papers they totally despise, and the sad process ends by ruining their style and disintegrating their personality, two developments which in a writer cannot be separate, since his personality and style must progress or deteriorate together, like a married couple in a country where death is the only permissible divorce."
– Claud Cockburn
» "Literature is the art of writing something that will be read twice; journalism what will be grasped at once."
– Cyril Connolly
» "He types his labored column — weary drudge! Senile fudge and solemn: spare, editor, to condemn these dry leaves of his autumn."
– Robertson Davies
» "Journalism without a moral position is impossible. Every journalist is a moralist. It's absolutely unavoidable. A journalist is someone who looks at the world and the way it works, someone who takes a close look at things every day and reports what she sees, someone who represents the world, the event, for others. She cannot do her work without judging what she sees."
– Marguerite Duras
» "I see journalists as the manual workers, the laborers of the word. Journalism can only be literature when it is passionate."
– Marguerite Duras
» "Journalism is organized gossip."
– Edward Eggleston
» "In journalism it is simpler to sound off than it is to find out. It is more elegant to pontificate than it is to sweat."
– Harold Evans
» "It was when "reporters" became "journalists" and when "objectivity" gave way to ''searching for truth," that an aura of distrust and fear arose around the New Journalist."
– Georgie Anne Geyer
» "Journalism will kill you, but it will keep you alive while you're at it."
– Horace Greeley
» "A petty reason perhaps why novelists more and more try to keep a distance from journalists is that novelists are trying to write the truth and journalists are trying to write fiction."
– Graham Greene
» "If you can't get a job as a pianist in a brothel you become a royal reporter."
– Max Hastings
» "Personal columnists are jackals and no jackal has been known to live on grass once he had learned about meat — no matter who killed the meat for him."
– Ernest Hemingway
» "Journalism is the entertainment business."
– Frank Herbert
» "Our job is like a baker's work — his rolls are tasty as long as they're fresh; after two days they're stale; after a week, they're covered with mould and fit only to be thrown out."
– Ryszard Kapuscinski
» "If the reporter has killed our imagination with his truth, he threatens our life with his lies."
– Karl Kraus
» "Journalist: a person without any ideas but with an ability to express them; a writer whose skill is improved by a deadline: the more time he has, the worse he writes."
– Karl Kraus
» "Every journalist owes tribute to the evil one."
– Jean De La Fontaine
» "The man must have a rare recipe for melancholy, who can be dull in Fleet Street."
– Charles Lamb
» "More than illness or death, the American journalist fears standing alone against the whim of his owners or the prejudices of his audience. Deprive William Safire of the insignia of the New York Times, and he would have a hard time selling his truths to a weekly broadsheet in suburban Duluth."
– Lewis H. Lapham
» "The journalists have constructed for themselves a little wooden chapel, which they also call the Temple of Fame, in which they put up and take down portraits all day long and make such a hammering you can't hear yourself speak."
– Georg C. Lichtenberg
» "Freedom of the press is limited to those who own one."
– A. J. Liebling
» "What a squalid and irresponsible little profession it is. Nothing prepares you for how bad Fleet Street really is until it craps on you from a great height."
– Ken Livingstone
» "Opinionated writing is always the most difficult… simply because it involves retaining in the cold morning-after crystal of the printed word the burning flow of molten feeling."
– Gavin Lyall
» "If a person is not talented enough to be a novelist, not smart enough to be a lawyer, and his hands are too shaky to perform operations, he becomes a journalist."
– Norman Mailer
» "Every journalist who is not too stupid or too full of himself to notice what is going on knows that what he does is morally indefensible. He is a kind of confidence man, preying on people's vanity, ignorance, or loneliness, gaining their trust and betraying them without remorse."
– Janet Malcolm
» "The dominant and most deep-dyed trait of the journalist is his timorousness. Where the novelist fearlessly plunges into the water of self-exposure, the journalist stands trembling on the shore in his beach robe. The journalist confines himself to the clean, gentlemanly work of exposing the grieves and shames of others."
– Janet Malcolm
» "I get up in the morning with an idea for a three-volume novel and by nightfall it's a paragraph in my column."
– Don Marquis
» "The real news is bad news."
– Marshall Mcluhan
» "I think there ought to be a club in which preachers and journalists could come together and have the sentimentalism of the one matched with the cynicism of the other. That ought to bring them pretty close to the truth."
– Reinhold Niebuhr
» "Now he is a statesman, when what he really wants is to be what most reporters are, adult delinquents."
– Peggy Noonan
» "A professional whose job it is to explain to others what it personally does not understand."
– Lord Northcliffe
» "I am a journalist and, under the modern journalist's code of Olympian objectivity (and total purity of motive), I am absolved of responsibility. We journalists don't have to step on roaches. All we have to do is turn on the kitchen light and watch the critters scurry."
– P. J. O'Rourke
» "The press is like the air, a chartered libertine."
– William Pitt
» "We now demand the light artillery of the intellect; we need the curt, the condensed, the pointed, the readily diffused — in place of the verbose, the detailed, the voluminous, the inaccessible. On the other hand, the lightness of the artillery should not degenerate into pop-gunnery — by which term we may designate the character of the greater portion of the newspaper press — their sole legitimate object being the discussion of ephemeral matters in an ephemeral manner."
– Edgar Allan Poe
» "Journalists belong in the gutter because that is where the ruling classes throw their guilty secrets."
– Gerald Priestland
» "Europe has a press that stresses opinions; America a press, radio, and television that emphasize news."
– James Reston
» "In America journalism is apt to be regarded as an extension of history: in Britain, as an extension of conversation."
– Anthony Sampson
» "Journalists are like dogs, when ever anything moves they begin to bark."
– Arthur Schopenhauer
» "I still believe that if your aim is to change the world, journalism is a more immediate short-term weapon."
– Tom Stoppard
» "If I'd written all the truth I knew for the past ten years, about 600 people — including me — would be rotting in prison cells from Rio to Seattle today. Absolute truth is a very rare and dangerous commodity in the context of professional journalism."
– Hunter S. Thompson
» "Gonzo journalism is a style of "reporting" based on William Faulkner's idea that the best fiction is far more true than any kind of journalism — and the best journalists have always known this. True gonzo reporting needs the talents of a master journalist, the eye of an artist/photographer and the heavy balls of an actor. Because the writer must be a participant in the scene, while he's writing it — or at least taping it, or even sketching it. Or all three. Probably the closest analogy to the ideal would be a film director/producer who writes his own scripts, does his own camera work and somehow manages to film himself in action, as the protagonist or at least a main character."
– Hunter S. Thompson
» "In the real world, nothing happens at the right place at the right time. It is the job of journalists and historians to correct that."
– Mark Twain
» "If, for instance, they have heard something from the postman, they attribute it to "a semi-official statement"; if they have fallen into conversation with a stranger at a bar, they can conscientiously describe him as "a source that has hitherto proved unimpeachable." It is only when the journalist is reporting a whim of his own, and one to which he attaches minor importance, that he defines it as the opinion of "well-informed circles.""
– Evelyn Waugh
» "The facts fairly and honestly presented; truth will take care of itself."
– William Allen White
» "Bad manners make a journalist."
– Oscar Wilde
» "It was a fatal day when the public discovered that the pen is mightier than the paving-stone, and can be made as offensive as the brickbat. They at once sought for the journalist, found him, developed him, and made him their industrious and well-paid servant. It is greatly to be regretted, for both their sakes."
– Oscar Wilde
» "There is much to be said in favor of modern journalism. By giving us the opinions of the uneducated, it keeps us in touch with the ignorance of the community. By carefully chronicling the current events of contemporary life, it shows us of what very little importance such events really are. By invariably discussing the unnecessary, it makes us understand what things are requisite for culture, and what are not."
– Oscar Wilde
» "You cannot hope to bribe or twist (thank God!) the British journalist. But, seeing what the man will do unbribed, there's no occasion to."
– Humbert Wolfe
» "I hate journalists. There is nothing in them but tittering jeering emptiness. They have all made what Dante calls the Great Refusal. The shallowest people on the ridge of the earth."
– William Butler Yeats
» "Most rock journalism is people who can't write, interviewing people who can't talk, for people who can't read."
– Frank Zappa

Over 600 people registered and ran to help support St. Stanislaus Kostka Catholic Academy in Greenpoint.
The race, which is in its 19th year, raised money for the academy as well as the St. Stan's Athletic League and its sports programs, which serve about 400 children each year.
The overall men's winner title went to Nini Benbouzid, while the overall women's winner was Marie Barnett.
"It's a record, we had close to 500 finishes," said Frank Carbone, founder of the race and athletic director at St. Joseph's College, the title sponsor of the race. "Generally we average in the 400 range, but I think the combination of it being a beautiful day and more people becoming aware of what we're doing has worked well for us."
Participants ran, walked, jogged and even jump-roped their way around the course, which started at Newell Street and Driggs Avenue, near St. Stanislaus Kostka Parish, and continued through to Kent Street, Manhattan Avenue and Norman Avenue before ending at Humboldt Street.
Many participants of the run hailed from the St Stan's Athletic League and the local North Brooklyn Runners Club. Others, like Caitlyn Kakavas of Bayside and Jan Rogowski of Woodside and who both attend St. Joseph's college, ran to support the academy, where they sometimes volunteer.
"It's a pleasure to run with local friends, the race is awesome," said John Slaski, a Greenpoint resident who ran with NBR and has participated every year in the race since its inception. "I think it's great, all along the course people are out on the street cheering and it's always been that way since the start. I'd like to think it makes them want to get involved a little."
The race was originally founded as a way to make money for the parish's sports program and Carbone has kept that concept for the last few years, but now that times have changed, he said the concept of the race needed to change with it.
"With the way Catholic education now needs a little bit of a boost, we felt it was most appropriate to focus our energies on trying to raise some money for the school," he said. "From now on we're going to keep that concept."
The race also received support in the form of donations and sponsorship from the Greenpoint YMCA, Metrofuel Oil, St. Nick's Alliance and the Greenpoint Lions Club.
"We want this to be more of the premier family event," said Carbone. "Most races are targeted at serious runners, but we want to try to accommodate both crowds. We want to have the serious runners have a good race and we want people from anywhere, we don't care who you are, how old you are, come on out and have a good time with us."
For Karen Stevenson and her family, every year the race is a family affair not to be missed.
"I was part of St. Stan's as a kid. It's nice after 19 years to see people that you hung out with and to see them come back with their families and friends," she said.
Her daughter, five-year-old Makayla Stevenson, won third place in her age's division and her son, Matthew Stevenson, won first place for his age group.

text: CP 2-4 ________________________________________________________________________ DAWSON COMMUNITY COLLEGE ________________________________________________________________________ COLLEGE PRESIDENT PROCEDURES CP 2-4 APPROVED: September 24, 2001 EFFECTIVE: September 24, 2001 REFERENCES: BP 2-4 ________________________________________________________________________ EVALUATION OF CLASSIFIED STAFF Supervisors of classified staff are to utilize the following procedures for conducting a performance evaluation of subordinate classified personnel: 1. Review the position description with the employee one year in advance of the evaluation placing particular emphasis on the performance evaluation factors included in the description. 2. Continuous observations during the year with written notations, dating and describing important examples of good and poor performance. 3. Evaluate each performance factor independently of all other factors. 4. Plan a 30 minute employee conference to review the evaluation. Schedule the conference no more than one or two days in advance to minimized pre-meeting apprehension. 5. The conference should be friendly, but formal. Emphasize good performance and be specific about any unsatisfactory performance. 6. Emphasize that an unsatisfactory rating is your appraisal of job performance, not of the person. 7. If unsatisfactory performance is noted, specify the expected corrective actions and set a follow-up evaluation (usually 3 months). Do this until the performance improves. 8. Brief your supervisor on the strong and weak performance evaluations of those employees you supervise. NOTES: 1. An employee's signature on the evaluation form does not necessarily imply agreement with the evaluation, only that the employee has participated in the evaluation. 2. Written memoranda documenting performance throughout the year should be attached to the evaluation report. 3. Performance appraisals should be signed by the supervisor. 4. The signed report and the employee's comments and other documents must be filed in the employee's personnel folder and stored in a secure place not readily accessible by employees. ________________________________________________________________________ CP 2-4 Page 2 5. The personnel file must be made available to the employee upon request, but under controlled circumstances to prevent loss of critical documentation. The Performance Evaluation Form is available from the Dean of Administrative Services in the DCC Business Office. This form consists of four sections: 1. General Performance Standards: this section addresses seven major elements. Consider each standard separately. A substandard performance rating on any performance standard must be supported by specific comment in the space provided on the form. A. Job Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities B. Quality of Work C. Productivity D. Reliability E. Communication F. Work Relationships G. Safety 2. Job Performance Standards: this section is designed to be "job specific." Refer to the "Job Performance Standards" of the employee's job description. Briefly list the major job duties specifically related to the performance of this job. Check the standard which represents the employee's work performance. Additional job performance standards may be attached. In the comment section, provide information to explain and support ratings that indicate substandard performance. 3. Overall Work Performance: this section addresses the overall work performance rating of the employee. An overall work performance rating which does not meet "Job Requirements" requires specific explanation in the comment section. Explanation must include the specific job performance areas requiring improvement. 4. Employee Comments: this section permits comments either agreeing, disagreeing or acknowledging the supervisor's evaluation. ________________________________________________________________________ SCOPE These procedures apply to Dawson Community College. ________________________________________________________________________

Carmel on the Case: Cell Phone Dogs
Reported by:
Carmel Cafiero
Archived Reports:
On the outside, cell phones are a convenience, but on the inside of a prison or jail, cell phones can be weapons. To fight back, authorities have developed a detection device that's hard to fool. Investigative reporter Carmel Cafiero is on the Case.
WSVN -- This is Diego. It may look like he's playing, but this is serious business. By chasing his tennis ball amid all that noise, he's learning to focus, from finding his toy to finding a specific smell that will get him rewarded with that toy.
Diego is Florida's first fully trained cell phone detection dog. He can find phones in a toilet or hidden up a wall and points in between.
He works much like a drug dog, except instead of looking for narcotics like this K-9 from Golden Beach, Diego sniffs out cell phones.
Phil Heiser: "It's a big safety issue for the corrections department."
Phil Heiser trains police dogs for departments across the country at Southern Hills Kennel in New Smyrna Beach. He started teaching cell phone detection after authorities told him it was becoming an issue.
At Broward's main jail, corrections officers try to make sure cell phones don't get past the metal detector. They're locked up before visitors can enter. A cell phone in the hands of an inmate can bypass security measures that monitor conversations.
Major Keith Neely: "They can be used to plot an escape. They can be used to harass witnesses. They can be used to harass victims in a case, as well as continue criminal activity."
And that's where Razor comes in. The Florida Department of Corrections invested in her after 565 cell phones were confiscated from state prisons in a one-year period.
On the job for just two months now, she's already had success.
Inspector Freddie Long: "So far we've conducted six searches, and we've got a tally of five phones, so she's doing very well."
And if you're wondering what makes a good detection dog, Phil Heiser says he looks for the ones you probably wouldn't want as pets, dogs that just can't stay inside all day without eating the furniture, dogs that have a strong hunt drive and a lot of stamina.
Carmel Cafiero: "So what is it about a cell phone that the dogs smell? The experts won't tell, but they say it's hard to hide anything from a well-trained dog."
It costs about $7,000 to train a dog.

"A Nice time at the Conrad"
Beautiful hotel and lobby. Conference rooms are great. Only down side was that the hotel was under construction, however the staff there apologized for it many times. I was surprised that there was an additional cost for internet, but they waived the fee which was very nice of them.Hotels.com 旅客真實的評價

"Total Greatness"
The hotel is in a great location over a hill overlooking the Bosphorus and close to the old city (3 miles). The view was outstanding and the satff was very friendly and professional (special thanks to all reception & concierge staff and to Hanife and Gizem at the restaurant). I think that the VIP lounge on the 15th floor should have a full bar to accomodate […] guests with different tastes. I will definitely go back there and I will absolutely refer friends and family. Keep up the good work :) 閱讀更多Hotels.com 旅客真實的評價

"Close to my friends, relatives, shopping and enter"
Always enjoy my stay at the Conrad Istanbul. I have stayed at the Conrad most every year since 2004 with family or alone. While the Hotel lacks some of the more upscale amenities that larger, newer hotels and resorts have, I do not miss them. I enjoy the quiet and lovely ambiance of the Hotel, and the spectacular 14th and 15th floors. I really enjoy […] having breakfast, afternoon tea/coffee and evenings beverages on the 15th floor. The view is probably the best in Istanbul, and the terrace and lounge is nicely appointed and very relaxing. The Hotel never feels overcrowded or noisy, except for the current construction underway. Even then, the noise is minimal and does not affect the Hotel guests. The entire staff is professional, prompt and friendly. The Cleaning team and particularly Gulen were great. Bulent the Doorman was also wonderful - all the Doormen are very gracious and helpful. Room service was great. As previously mentioned, the entire staff at the Conrad Istanbul is there for the guests, and they work enthusiastically to please them. No one I encoutered was unfriendly or had an "attitude". I hope that when Hotel construction is completed, the Conrad Istanbul will maintain its personal kind of luxury and home-like qualities. I look forward to my next stay. 閱讀更多Hotels.com 旅客真實的評價

"Great hotel for families"
My family and I had a wonderful stay at Conrad and the service and staff were very pleasin,. I'm quite a fussy eater and to me they didn't have muck choices but the quality of the food was fabulous. The swimming pool was like an oven when you sit on the side and they put way to much chlorine in the pool so I couldn't go underwater cause it would sting […] but they had a good gym and there was also a hair dresser. There is a wonderful Bosphorus view from some of the room and the summit bar. 閱讀更多Expedia 旅客真實的評價

"Smoky rooms, spotty service, poor location"
Stayed at the Conrad istanbul for a couple nights in Dec 2012. Having stayed at the Conrad New York recently, one of the most beautiful hotels I have ever seen, I had high hopes. Instead, I got a hotel that was clearly past its prime. The location isn't great for sightseeing. The lobby is grand, but the rooms are are small and dated. The first non-smoking […] room reeked of smoke, so the did the second - the carpet, the bed, the pillows. The bathroom was dated as well, in need of a refurb. Power went out for 15 minutes one evening. Concierge service was spotty, failing to make a dinner reservation for us after confirming that they did. Upon checkout, we were mistakenly overbilled for some mini-bar items (which they removed). This hotel barely meets the standards of a mainline Hilton hotel, certainly not a top-of-line Conrad. For the money, the W is a better bet all around. 閱讀更多Hotels.com 旅客真實的評價

"Nice business hotel but not the best for tourists"
The Conrad Istanbul was certainly built on a grand scale, with a very nice lobby area. There is also a conference center attached to the hotel, so if you are going there for a conference or meeting, the hotel is a good choice. However, be prepared to use a taxi whenever you need to go anywhere. The nearest public transportation station - Kabatas - is […] about 2.1 KM away, so not convenient. Plus, there really is not much to do around the hotel (which is in the Besiktas area of Istanbul) in terms of walking around. On this trip, I also spent some time in another hotel in Old Town (Sultanahmet), and it was very nice to be able to step outside the hotel into a mostly pedestrian area of town and walk to major sights, restaurants, and public transportation. The hotel rooms were pretty old and looked somewhat worn out. They were also somewhat old fashioned. However, the service, for the most part, was excellent. Currently, the hotel is undergoing renovations, which was not mentioned when I booked the room through Expedia. No wonder they had a good sale on the rooms. I had a room that was on the fourth floor with no view. Furthermore, they were renovating rooms just on the other wing, so it was loud at times. From now onwards, whenever Expedia has a "special" sale, I will be checking to see if the hotel is being renovated. 閱讀更多Expedia 旅客真實的評價

"Conrad Istanbul"
The room was very nice and large with a comfortable bed and a very nice restroom. The hotel workout facility was also very nice. The food at the hotel was expensive, and the service at the 14th floor restaurant for lunch was poor. The hotel is located in the New Town section on the European side of Istanbul (across the Golden Horn) and not convenient […] to many of the attractions in Istanbul Old Town. For Hilton, the Double Tree in Old Town is more centrally located for exploring those attractions. If you are going to the Asian side of Istanbul or taking a cruise from the port of Istanbul, the Conrad would be better as it is closer to the bridge and the port. There is a small park across from the Conrad for exercising too. There are some exceptional restaurants on the Straits within a short cab ride of the Conrad (10 Lira). Our price on the room was very good and it included a very good buffet breakfast. 閱讀更多Expedia 旅客真實的評價

Babylonian Exile
Babylonian Exile, also called Babylonian Captivity,
the forced detention of Jews in Babylonia following the latter's conquest of the kingdom of Judah in 598/7 and 587/6 bc. The exile formally ended in 538 bc, when the Persian conqueror of Babylonia, Cyrus the Great, gave the Jews permission to return to Palestine. Historians agree that several deportations took place (each the result of uprisings in Palestine), that not all Jews were forced to leave their homeland, that returning Jews left Babylonia at various times, and that some Jews chose to remain in Babylonia—thus constituting the first of numerous Jewish communities living permanently in the Diaspora. Many scholars cite 597 bc as the date of the first deportation, for in that year King Jehoiachin was deposed and apparently sent into exile with his family, his court, and thousands of workers. Others say the first deportation followed the destruction of Jerusalem ... (150 of 318 words)

Over the past week or two, there have been several announcements about open source use within the United States Government. The one getting the most attention is the announcement about whitehouse.gov moving to Drupal; however, I think that the memo from the Department of Defense (DoD): Clarifying Guidance on Open Source Software is a much more important and interesting story. The guidance in the memo doesn't give preferential treatment to open source software (OSS), but it does clarify some misconceptions about how open source can be used to meet government needs, and it helps to ensure that open source software is given appropriate consideration along with any proprietary solutions being evaluated. According to Jim Stogdill on the O'Reilly Radar blog, "the memo is intended to clear up common misconceptions and make it easier for DoD program managers to include OSS in their programs. Its goals are to improve agility, eliminate lock in, and reduce cost." In other words, open source is one of the many possible choices available when the government is evaluating software needs.
Here are a few highlights from the report:
- Open source software meets the definition of "commercial computer software" and can be used within the government.
- Executive agencies are required to conduct market research before making software purchases, and the research should include any open source software that meets the needs of the mission.
- Positive aspects of open source software should be considered (peer reviewed code, unrestricted ability to modify the code, reduced vendor lock-in, etc.)
- Software fixes and enhancement should be released to the public when possible, but it is not a requirement to release changes back to the public except in specific licensing situations.
Open Source analyst Jay Lyman at The 451 Group said that "this is a model for government and enterprise end users to use for determining where open source software best fits into their organizations." He went on to talk about how "the memo and reaction to it represent something larger in adoption of open source software, not only by the U.S. DoD and among other governments around the globe, but also including enterprises and even SMB users: the official embrace of open source."
The memo was written by David M. Wennergren, Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Information Management and Technology / Deputy Chief Information Officer US Department of Defense, and he will be keynoting the upcoming GOSCON event in Washington, D. C. on November 5th if you want to learn more about this announcement or discuss other uses of open source in government.

I recently browsed through one of those books that rates cities on things like cost-of-living, the arts, the quality of its museums and the like. The ratings seemed pretty plausible until I reached the section that explained how the authors reached their conclusions. They revealed that one of their main data points was what you might call the "Starbuck's Index" — the authors used the number of Starbuck's in an area as an indication "of the overall quality of retail establishments."
Really. I don't make this stuff up.
Now I have no argument with Starbuck's. I keep some bottled Frappucino close at hand for caffeine emergencies, and I've never encountered a Starbuck's that didn't operate with pleasant efficiency.
But, really?
When I consider Louisville, I have a hard time seeing how the "Starbuck's Index" comes anywhere near indicating the overall quality of anything. It certainly has nothing on, say, the "Heine Brothers' Index," or, better yet, the "One-Of-a-Kind Coffeehouse Index" that includes places like Derby City Espresso, Day's Coffee and Ray's Monkey House.
In fact, one of the things that makes it difficult to compare Louisville's dining scene to that in other cities is a complete lack of meaningful, objective measures — or even a good sense of what the comparative benchmarks should be. We've all heard the plaudits declaring this one of the best restaurant towns for its size — somewhere between Indianapolis and Oklahoma City — and we've read about Proof on Main, Corbett's: An American Place and Lynn's Paradise Café in national magazines.
But where does the dining scene rank? If you throw out meaningless measures like the Starbuck's Index, you're left with nothing but anecdote and speculation.
Does Louisville truly offer a better dining experience than other metro areas of its size? Yes. Do Top-15 metro areas like New York, Chicago, Houston and San Francisco offer restaurant experiences you can't find in Louisville? You bet they do.
For the 2009 Velocity Dining Guide, we take stock of the things that make Louisville's dining scene good — and what it needs to do to become great.
Five Reasons Louisville is a Good Restaurant Town
1. Major league dining
Sports columnists may wish it weren't so, but the fact that Louisville remains a minor league sports city is arguably one of the main reasons the restaurant scene flourishes. The only thing that sucks disposable income out of an economy faster than a major league sports franchise is a casino. Last year, according to Street & Smith's Sports Business Daily, the national average for a family of four to attend an NBA game (four tickets, two beers, four soft drinks, four hot dogs, parking, etc.) was $291.
Multiply that times the number of home games per season. Slide those dollars into the hands of point guards and peanut vendors. Then subtract them from the cash registers of local restaurateurs, and see how many restaurants you have left. And when someone claims an out-of-town fan will stop for a meal at a local independent restaurant, think about where you ate the last time you drove to Indianapolis or Cincinnati for a game. And when someone claims that those point guards and coaches have to eat, too, consider just how few of them there are.
Major league sports may contribute to overall quality of life in a city, but not without tradeoffs. Most economic studies indicate that most major league franchises don't generate enough revenue even to offset the taxpayer funds used to subsidize them, let alone spin off enough dollars to bolster the local economy. The next time you face the dilemma of whether to eat at, say, the Mayan Café or Equus, count yourself lucky that in Louisville, the college game is king.
2. Immigrant cuisine
Not too many years ago, immigrant cuisine in Louisville meant fried-bologna sandwiches or spaghetti and meatballs. Finding a plate of pad Thai meant trekking to Chicago. A request for hummus was likely to be misconstrued as a desire for compost freshly scooped from the forest floor.
Now the city is home to cuisine from nearly every continent except Antarctica and Australia (Outback Steakhouse doesn't really count). You could make a parlor game out of stringing together alliterative strings like France and the Philippines; Spain, Sichuan, Senegal, Sudan and Sicily; Ireland, Italy and India; Morocco and Mexico. Or you can just thank your lucky fork that consecutive waves of immigrants have settled in Louisville, bringing along their recipes for Hyderabad goat (Dakshin); stone-pot bibimbap (Lee's Korean); Cuban sandwiches (Havana Rumba); full-throated Sichuan heat (Jasmine Chinese); white-chocolate mole (Mayan Café); thiebu jeun (Chez Seneba); shawarma (Safier); or tamales (La Rosita).
3. Farm-to-table
Louisville is perfectly situated — and perfectly scaled — to enable close connections between farmers and restaurateurs. We live in the heart of the American garden, with abundant access to great meats, fruits, grains, vegetables and cheeses. And our restaurants take advantage of it.
Twenty years ago, Kathy Cary, chef/owner of Lilly's, pioneered farm-to-table connections in Louisville, spearheading a movement that's now pervasive. Cary and Edward Lee (610 Magnolia) raise their own veggies and herbs. Chefs like Bruce Ucan (Mayan Café) build menus around the locally raised heirloom pork and beef, and freshly harvested produce still warm from summer soil.
In fact, the only downside of these connections between restaurants and farmers is that every once in a while a farmer can't keep up with restaurant demand — and suddenly the poultry vendor who sold those superb heirloom chickens disappears from the farmers' market. (Dang!)
4. Sullivan University
Led by chef John Castro, Sullivan's programs in culinary arts have earned a national reputation by turning out graduates who compete successfully for restaurant positions all over the country. Fortunately for us, plenty of them stay close to home. You'll find them cooking everything from spicy wings at Turkey Joe's to duck breast at Lilly's. Everywhere you look, they're running small businesses, heading up kitchens, cooking on the line or whipping up pastries.
5. We all get along
Maybe it's because there's so much job-hopping in the restaurant industry that nobody dares ever burn a bridge. Maybe it's because so many local restaurants are run by people who came of age together and got their first experience in the exacting traditions of fine dining at the legendary restaurants Casa Grisanti and Sixth Avenue — a career path that includes Dean Corbett (Equus, Corbett's: An American Place), Majid Ghavami (Volare, Saffron's), Frank Yan and Dominic Serratore (Ditto's), Mark Stevens (Stevens & Stevens Deli) and a couple dozen more.
Whatever the reason, the independent Louisville restaurant scene is about as friendly as it gets. Next time you're dining out, ask the server where you should eat the next night. You'll get a list of restaurants (including storefront ethnic places) that will fill the back of an envelope faster than you can write. Check out a table at your favorite ethnic spot on a Sunday night, when many fine dining restaurants are closed, and you're likely to see the chef and crew from the restaurant where you dined on Friday.
That sense of solidarity, mutual respect and pride accounts for a lot of things: The success of the Louisville Originals marketing group, whose membership includes nearly every excellent independent restaurant in town; the "Secrets of Louisville Chefs Live" TV show, which features host Dean Corbett regularly praising the work of his local competitors; and the sharing of good ideas and techniques that improve the dining experience for all of us. Perhaps more than anything else, it's this sense of that sense of community and shared purpose that's built Louisville into a dining scene with a significant national reputation.
So how do we get to the next level? What is the recipe that will thrust Louisville into the forefront of the American dining scene? How do we get the foodies buzzing about the River City again?
Five Reasons Louisville is not a Great Restaurant Town
1. Missing links
Where are the Greeks bearing gifts of spinach omelets and spanakopita? We have an abundance of Mediterranean restaurants, but the classic Greek diner is another critter altogether. As a young man, I spent a couple of years learning how to poach eggs from a guy named Gus who might well have stepped out of a Greek myth — if the story of Sisyphus featured a guy who worked morning to night frying up hash browns, wiping counters and filling cups with coffee.
We've seen a few Greek restaurants come and go (Maria Bell's third effort, a carry-out/delivery operation called It's All Greek To Me, recently opened on Frankfort Avenue), but none of them were in the Greek diner mode. Maybe we just missed out on all the waves of Greek immigration and are doomed never to enjoy this simple pleasure. Even on the East Coast the ranks are thinning. Greeks who started restaurants in the '50s are sending their kids to law school, selling their places and retiring to Florida.
And what about a great — or simply acceptable — New York delicatessen? The invaluable Stevens & Stevens notwithstanding, we have to leave town if we crave to walk among cases filled with tall stacks of corned beef, pastrami, marble rye, hard salami and smoked fish — let alone knishes, pumpernickel bagels and marble rye.
There are other ethnic cuisines that haven't yet found their way here. Sooner or later we're bound to get a Brazilian churrascaria (perhaps when the Cordish Group finds itself with another empty storefront). And if history runs true to form, a prolonged war in Afghanistan may bring us an Afghan place as appealing as the estimable Samira in Bloomington.
But the other food that seems underrepresented in the Metro has long been an American staple: Italian-American red sauce cuisine. We have a few places scattered about: The Come Back Inn, Le Gallo Rosso, Ray Parella's, Tuscany Italian — but it's reached the point where finding a good plate of spaghetti and meatballs is destination dining. Shouldn't there be a zoning requirement that every neighborhood must have easy access to an inexpensive, pleasant Italian restaurant?
2. Dining deserts
You could happily spend months eating your way through the main restaurant corridors — Bardstown Road, Frankfort Avenue, the Gallery District. And if you box the culinary compass from Charlestown to Pleasure Ridge Park, from Fairdale to New Albany, you'll find good eats all over town. No part of town is completely bereft, but some are under-served. Apart from carryout shops like the bustling Big Momma's Soul Kitchen on West Broadway and a few chicken shops and rib shacks, it's difficult to come up with a sure restaurant recommendation in the Shawnee and Portland neighborhoods. The slice of the metro pie that envelopes Dixie Highway and Cane Run Road harbors a few good spots (Mike Linnig's, Granny's Apron), but it's a market hungry for more choices. And though the casual restaurant scene on the Sunny Side of Louisville is strong — places like La Rosita, New Albanian Brewing Company, Charlestown Pizza Company and Clarksville Seafood are well worth the drive — it's been years since Jeffersonville's Inn On Spring shut down, and years since Southern Indiana could boast a truly exceptional restaurant.
3. Street food
We live in a temperate zone (no matter the humidity, the pollen count and the ozone index). We have sidewalks. We have sidewalk dining. We have folks who walk on sidewalks. What we don't have — except for a few downtown exceptions and a few taco trucks — is an entrepreneurial crew of sidewalk vendors hawking falafel, chaat, shawarama and sausages on the strolling sections of the Highlands and Clifton/Crescent Hill.
4. Accessibility
It's an economic fact of life that most independent restaurateurs start their businesses on hope, savings and a thin line of credit. They open in old buildings so they can scrimp enough cash to buy stoves, tables and chairs. And that's part of the reason so many restaurants wind up in spaces with dining rooms or restrooms that are inaccessible for people who use wheelchairs or have other mobility impairments. That said, since the Americans with Disabilities Act was passed in 1992, it's been law in the U.S. that accessibility must be part of any renovations to a public accommodation unless it's technically unfeasible or the cost would be disproportionate.
Almost 20 years later, the city still has restaurants that aren't fully accessible. That's something that goes to the very heart of what "hospitality" means, and one that amounts to a significant economic development challenge. It's time for everybody involved — developers, restaurateurs, building code enforcement officials — to fix the problem. And frankly, given the financial commitment the city has made to projects like Fourth Street Live and the new downtown arena, it might be reasonable to set aside a bit of money for matching grants to help independent restaurateurs do the right thing.
5. What would Anthony eat?
There is a Facebook group with the lone goal of luring the adventurous gourmand Anthony Bourdain to Louisville — not just to speak at the IdeaFestival, but to feature the city on his Travel Channel show "No Reservations." It has 1,500 members.
Yes, it's exciting when Louisville chefs get national attention, as erstwhile Seelbach chef Todd Richards did on "Iron Chef" or John and Joe Castro did with their Hot Brown on "Throwdown with Bobby Flay," but answer me this: What would Anthony eat?
Any fan of the Louisville dining scene has an inventory of great Louisville dining experiences. We have excellent French, Tuscan, Spanish, Persian and German restaurants. We have the outrageously artsy Proof on Main. We have superb Texas brisket. We have Indian, north and south. We have Vietnamese, modern and traditional. Chez Seneba serves couscous as fine as any you'll find in the world. Palermo Viejo's sweetbreads and steaks come straight from the Argentine gaucho tradition. We have Chicago-style hot dogs and Italian beef sandwiches. We have Anthony Lamas's exquisite Nuevo Latino cuisine at Seviche, while Bruce Ucan cooks up Yucatan-influenced food at Mayan Café that is on par with anything in this country.
But there's the rub: If you're making a Travel Channel show about food from the Yucatan, that's where you going to take your cameras. You go back to the roots. You search for authenticity. The same is true of shows like "Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives," or, I suppose, "Man vs. Food," the show that focuses on attempts to devour 8-pound hamburgers and the like.
Perhaps because Louisville is a border city — the northern tip of the South and the southern tip of the Midwest — local chefs lack a strong connection to their roots. Yes, they buy from local farmers and feature local meats and produce. They keep fried green tomatoes on the menu all year long and plenty of places turn out a credible Hot Brown.
But where is the Louisville chef who has spent as much time mastering the art of cornbread as she has spent figuring out how to sear a beautiful scallop? Where is the chef who has delved into the mysteries of the white half runner bean? Where is the chef who'll take the time to skillet-fry chicken? Where is the charcuterie platter that offers an overview of the best regional approaches to Kentucky Country Ham? Who has created a restaurant that focuses on celebrating not just regional products, but regional techniques and perspective?
So sure, if Anthony Bourdain asks where to eat, we can point him to a host of options.
But what if he asks, "Where can I go to food that distinguishes Louisville from every place else in the world?"
We'd shrug. Heck, I might have to send him to my mother-in-law's kitchen.

Because there is no similarity between boards of education in NY and school boards in FL. Florida's schools are county-wide systems; there are 67. New York's are towns, etc., and there are OVER 700 of them! And NYC's is governed by its mayor. Small districts which may only operate a few schools quite appropriately have only a volunteer board. Florida's run huge operations with hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue and expenditures. In St. Lucie County, their salaries are tied to first-year teachers', for a job that is essentially full-time.

Veeva Systems, which is based in Pleasanton, Calif., makes cloud software for pharmaceutical companies and other life science businesses that helps them manage customers and increase productivity. The programs are hosted on remote servers, often called the "cloud." That means that businesses don't need to install and run software in-house, saving on the costs of running their own hardware.
The company priced its offering of 13 million shares at $20 per share. That's above the $16 to $18 per share it had previously expected to price them at.
The stock rose $17.16, or 86 percent, to close at $37.16 Wednesday. It rose as high as $39.64 earlier in the day.
The stock is listed on New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "VEEV."
Veeva Systems did not specify how it would use the money it raises, but said it may use it for acquisitions or investing in other businesses.
