Claire moves in with her crazy family after her home is condemned.
It's the score of their lives - if they can pull it off. Ten thieves at the top of their game stake out a casino holding a $20M diamond.
Claire's (Alicia Witt) life goes on a downward spiral right after graduation. Her boyfriend breaks up with her, her piano teacher (Harvey Fierstein) is fed up with her lack of concentration and her apartment is condemned after an earthquake. With no place to go, she must move back in with her dysfunctional family, an eclectic group of relatives. A story telling matriarch (Marlo Thomas), spirit-seeing patriarch (Elliot Gould), picture-perfect sister (Molly Hagan) and a meddling aunt (Estelle Harris). After several weeks of moping at home, Claire's best friends, Sabrina (Brooke Langton) and Arthur (Johnny Galecki), convince her that partying is the best solution for a broken heart. And in spite of trying to play it cool like "Mona Lisa", Claire meets Eddie (Ivan Sergei), a self-proclaimed heir to a fish market, who sweeps her off her feet. Life, however, takes an unusual twist when a few uncanny family and friends secrets are revealed.

The price of power sits heavy on the shaggy head of Jax Teller (Charlie Hunnam), the prince-turned-leader of a troubled biker kingdom on FX's Sons of Anarchy, wrapping its fifth and best-yet season tonight with a super-sized 90-minute finale (10/9c). A few weeks ago, in a moment worthy of this series' Shakespearian ambitions, Jax told his disgraced, dethroned evil stepfather Clay (Ron Perlman): "I'm tired of being crushed under the weight of greedy men who believe in nothing."
First, she took on Grey Gardens, and now The New Normal star Bebe Wood is coming for Honey Boo Boo.
The NBC comedy (Tuesdays at 9:30/8:30c) is planning an homage to Here Comes Honey Boo Boo for its Halloween episode.
"Shania loves that show so they decide to go en masse as that family," co-creator and executive producer Ryan Murphy told reporters on a conference call Tuesday.
Get the scoop on The New Normal and more must-see new fall shows
The Here Comes Honey Boo Boo homage comes weeks after Wood delivered a spot-on Grey Gardens impression in the series' third episode. "The one thing that I've been absolutely shocked by is how many people have stopped me or written me about the Grey Gardens stuff we did," Murphy said. "Bebe is such an eccentric exotic child and she... read more
Episode Recap: "Something Wicked This Way Comes"Betty has made a lot of sacrifices, and tonight she was willing to sacrifice a real, public relationship with Henry for the approval of others, Daniel's green light in particular. Though she realized from the plagiarism debacle what a hold his opinion had on her, she still cares too deeply what he thinks of her decisions. And like the bear-attack essay, we knew Betty wouldn't get away with secretly dating Henry, especially once Gio (Freddy Rodriguez) got involved. No way was he going to let her off that easily. I found Gio's spicy snark while wedged between Daniel and Betty a nice antidote to Betty and Henry's gooey texts. Perfectly entertaining. ("You're about to hear gagging. That's me, gagging.") Don't get me wrong. I'm glad Betty and Henry are finally together and she presumably "dunked her doughnut" after encouragement from Christina and Hilda. But Gio kept things light and interesting amid some predictable moments (like He... read more
There are so many things going on in this show and so much praise to heap upon them sometimes it's hard to know where to start. Just last week, for instance, Marc got a boyfriend, Betty and Henry gave in to their hearts, and we learned that Christina's got a husband(!). But there's also the matter of saving "Mode," forcing Daniel to prove himself all over again. And though it may be difficult to win over his father, he probably won't have to try too hard courting an advertiser (Marlo Thomas) with a thing for younger men. Joe Friedrich read more

About Last Night: Wicked Strong
By Spike Friedman atIn case you were busy trying to prevent the refrain from Close Encounters of the Third Kind from morphing into the theme from The Sting in your mind, here's what you missed in sports on Monday:
- The Bruins overcame a 4-1 third-period deficit before completing the comeback with a Patrice Bergeron overtime winner as Boston eliminated the Toronto Maple Leafs from the NHL playoffs in a heartbreaking Game 7. While congratulations are in order for Boston, it should also be noted that the devastating loss was taken well by the people of Toronto, who, luckily, are fairly agnostic toward the game of hockey and have a very limited history of suffering with the town's most popular team.
- LeBron James and the Miami Heat dominated the Chicago Bulls on both ends of the court en route to an 88-65 win at United Center. Diminutive Bulls guard Nate Robinson, who had starred earlier in the series, was held without a field goal in the defeat, which he attributed after the game to being, "Yeah, shorter than everyone else. That's why. Guess after all these years that finally caught up to me. It wasn't at all because of Miami's defense combined with a little bit of fatigue. It's my genes. Thanks, Randy Newman."

Calm Like a Bomb: The Finer Points of Manti Te'o's Search-and-Destroy Style
By Chris Brown atManti Te'o finished the 2010 season, his second in South Bend, as already one of the most decorated linebackers in Notre Dame history. A former five-star recruit, Te'o finished his sophomore year with 133 tackles (good for 21st nationally), was a finalist for both the Butkus and Bednarik awards, was named a second-team All-American by CNN/SI, and, against Stanford, had managed 21 tackles. There was just one problem: He could've played a lot better.
"He had a lot of production he left on the table," Notre Dame defensive coordinator Bob Diaco, who is also Te'o's position coach, recently recalled. Fortunately for both the Irish and their star linebacker, Te'o, as Diaco puts it, "longs to be coached." That offseason, Diaco put together a DVD from the season — a lowlight reel of sorts — and gave it to Te'o with an accompanying message: "If you really want to take the next step in your game, here are the 83 plays you will be able to make next year." The response was, in hindsight, predictable. "He studied that thing," Diaco said. "He broke the film studying that thing."

As frequent travelers between Nor Cal and So Cal we often stop in Santa Maria as the rents are cheaper than SLO or SB. We have tried many Santa Maria... properties and so far this property is our favorite. More than anything else is the wonderful design of the bath. Large with a separate door for the toilet, a make up counter separate from the sink. Quiet location but near freeway. On the north side of town away from the main part of town which is nice. Cannot however recommend the attached restaurant. Classic greasy spoon to be avoided. Better choices further down the main drag into town. 来自 Folsom, CA 的 Jeff 于 2013-09-26 发表点评

NEW YORK, Oct. 1, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Travel Spike, LLC (www.travelspike.com), the largest travel media platform in comScore and the first company to start a vertical advertising network for the travel industry, today announced it is stepping up its efforts in its legal battle against Travora Media, Inc. In January 2013, Travel Spike brought suit against Travora Media alleging claims related to trademark infringement and deceptive trade practices for Travora Media's use of "Travel Ad Network," despite Travel Spike's federally registered trademark, Travel Ad Network®. In February 2013, while the suit was pending, Travora Media sold substantially all of its assets to Travora Networks, Inc., a newly formed company wholly owned by MediaShift, Inc. Travora Media then claimed to the court it had no assets with which to continue the fight against Travel Spike. In conjunction, Travora Networks claimed no responsibility for Travel Spike's losses as it did not purchase any of Travora Media's liability.
Travel Spike is not so sure. "I take this very personally and want justice," said Ryan Bifulco, Founder and CEO of Travel Spike. "Travora Networks was aware of our lawsuit at the time it purchased Travora Media's assets, and may have known the asset purchase would leave Travora Media unable to satisfy a judgment." For this reason, Travel Spike has recently subpoenaed documents from Travora Networks and its President, Brendon Kensel, and plans to depose Kensel in the near future. In addition, Travel Spike has subpoenaed former Travora Media executives Nan Forte, Brian Silver, Bob Sacco and Cree Lawson, and is engaged in other discovery with Travora Media. "We intend on obtaining a judgment against Travora Media for its actions," said Bifulco, "and having that judgment satisfied, even if it takes a second lawsuit against Travora Networks."
When companies purchase assets, they often decline to purchase liabilities, leaving creditors of selling companies in a lurch. However, when the purchasing company is a mere continuation of the company from which it purchases assets, creditors can reach the purchasing company through a legal theory known as successor liability. Similarly, the purchasing company can be reached by creditors if those creditors can show the asset purchase amounted to a fraudulent conveyance, which can require proving that the selling company was made insolvent by the conveyance, that the transaction occurred at a "suspicious" time, and that the buyer knew there was significant pending legal action against the seller.
According to Howard Koval, EVP and Chief Strategist for Travel Spike, Travel Spike may be able to clear this hurdle. "Travora Networks and Travora Media have many similarities beyond their names. After Travora Networks purchased Travora Media's assets, Travora Networks opened in the exact same New York office location with most of the same staff, advertisers and publishers. It also maintained an identical website and what appears to be an identical business model." Both Koval and Bifulco further believe Travora Networks and Travora Media knew the asset purchase would leave Travora Media without sufficient liquidity to satisfy a judgment in the Travel Spike case. "We think discovery will show that the asset purchase does not insulate Travora Networks from liability," says Bifulco.
In addition, Travel Spike recently issued a cease and desist letter to Travora Networks and MediaShift relating to the companies' used of "Travel Ad Network" in its advertising and filings. "Despite knowledge of our trademark, and knowledge of the ongoing lawsuit against Travora Media for the exact same behavior, Travora Networks and MediaShift have in effect thumbed their noses at us by continuing to use this phrase," stated Koval. "Use of 'travel ad network' by Travora Media and Travora Networks has created confusion in the marketplace and continues to harm our company. We are working with experts to quantify how much revenue these actions have diverted away from Travel Spike."
About the lawsuit against Travora Media:
Travel Spike's lawsuit against Travora Media, which is currently proceeding in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia, alleges Travora Media unlawfully used Travel Spike's Travel Ad Network® trademark to advertise its services, as its website address and as the former name of its company. Travel Spike's complaint includes claims for malicious and fraudulent activity by Travora Media's founders and executives, and seeks treble (triple) damages and attorneys' fees.
Currently, the lawsuit does not include any claims against Travora Networks or MediaShift. When asked whether Travel Spike would try and add Travora Networks as a defendant, Bifulco stated Travel Spike's legal team was considering the issue.

"Great value, great location"
Reviewed September 9, 2012
We really enjoyed our end of summer stay at the Wild Iris Inn. The location is perfect for walking around Portland. We could enjoy the downtown area restaurants, shops, and ferry line easily. It was also close to Back Cove providing a lovely setting for early morning walks. On Saturday's in the summer they have a wonderful farmer's market only a block away from this property. The rooms at the inn are charming and comfortable. The breakfast is a great assortment of fruits, juice, house made granola, yogurt and bread. There was a home made breakfast bread or muffin each day that was the real treat. Tea and biscotti are available at anytime so it was nice to have a bit of tea after a long day of seeing the area. Diane was an excellent hostess and provided directions and good suggestions for activities around the city. We spent the rest of our trip in Acadia and she had helpful suggestions for our stay there as well. Rooms are charming and comfortable. If we return to Portland we will definitely stay at the Wild Iris Inn again.

I found Wild Iris Inn to be incredibly convenient to downtown Portland.
Our room was quaint and had its own bathroom. Diane was lovely. She was a responsive host and breakfast was delicious. The dining area was also very cozy and pleasant and a great place to discuss itineraries with the other guests. Its a lovely victorian with close freeway access but nice and quiet and quaint.
I would stay there again!

This Inn is centrally located in Portland - you can walk everywhere or borrow one of Diane's bikes! It is very comfortable, clean and green! Diane is a wonderful host, the breakfast is delicious and simple - granola, bread, muffins, yogurt and fruit. The Inn is in an old house but has a wonderful home feeling to it.

"Accommodating and Convenient"
Reviewed August 27, 2012
The innkeeper was very accommodating and environment-conscious. She has bikes for guest use and recycling bins in the rooms. Even those who are not tree-huggers will be compelled to follow her lead and keep the AC and lights low. I suggest booking the Tulip room because is it only one floor up, which is the 1st floor for guest rooms and next to the kitchen/dining area. The inn is also in a great location and the walk downtown or to the harbor is lovely. A long bike around South Portland is a must! For those of you who miss your furry friends when you are away, there is a super friendly orange 7-toed kitty (he stays outside so you don't have to worry about allergies).

Jim and I stayed here for 2 nights after a long, driving trip in Maine. We could not have been more pleased when we arrived and experienced Diane's hospitality. Her breakfasts, including fresh fruit, homemade bread and granola, plus outstanding coffee were hard to beat. In addition, Diane was a helpful host and suggested great places to eat in walking distance to the inn. We were pleased in every way and highly recommend the inn.

"Wild Iris Inn ---couldn't be nicer"
Reviewed August 24, 2012
The inn was in comfortable walking distance of every place we wanted to go. As always, Diane was a perfect hostess. The rooms are exceedingly attractive and spotlessly clean; linens are classy; the breakfast is ample, fresh, and delicious; the coffee is excellent; and the inn is top-drawer in every imaginable respect. I liked the very personal and Maine-related touches in the decor and the appointments. The area was very quiet; to the best of my knowledge I slept like a log, but----how would I know?---I was sound asleep at the time. As a bonus, Diane gave us excellent suggestions for dining.

Spotlight tour of the booth
Our experts would be happy to personally show you the highlights of our tradeshow presence. Book your booth tour here.
Showcase: Big Data
Constant technological progress and global networking produce more data than ever before. There are already several billion mobile devices in use today. Global mobile data traffic will exceed 10 exabytes by the year 2016. With the Internet of Things, experts forecast more than 125 billion RFID labels by the year 2020.
The great challenge facing public institutions and businesses is mastering this flood of data. It is less an issue of recording and managing these enormous data streams than enabling rapid analysis to derive the relevant information and use it in targeted, real-time measures. This will enable entirely new applications and business modelsfor example, in payment transactions, making travel reservations or in the logistics field. Our Big Data and Real-Time Analytics showcase demonstrates how you can use in-memory technology from Software AG to successfully implement your big data strategy.
Showcase: Industry 4.0
For the second time, Software AG launched an international idea competition for universities. The objective was to develop an innovative showcase for CeBIT 2013 that presents Software AG technology for business process management in an engaging, real-world context.
The German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence (DFKI) from Kaiserslautern won the competition with its DFKI SmartFactoryKL and will present a model for a smart factory of the future at Software AG's trade show stand. This production scenario will demonstrate how augmented reality can transform a manual production station into a software-supported, context-sensitive work environment.
This showcase presents the tangible benefits of Industry 4.0 as a new paradigm for the production of tomorrow. The ARIS platform will be used in this project to visualize the manual production steps and key performance indicators.
Showcase: Business Process Management
This showcase presents how Brazil's PDG S.A. improved process transparency and increased efficiency in real-estate financing. Speed is also a decisive competitive factor for PDG. This example demonstrates how credit check processes can be made more efficient in a construction project. With the help of webMethods and ARIS, Brazil's largest construction and real estate company was able to reduce the time required for the credit analysis and contract management process from one week to one hour. The result: PDG significantly accelerated its businessand lowered its processing costs per transaction.
Innovation Center
At CeBIT 2013, we will present innovative solutions for the digital enterprise and set global trends. At the Innovation Centerin the middle of Software AGs booth at CeBITyou can use multimedia touchscreens to experience the latest product innovations in big data, cloud, mobile and social business.
Well show you how to best use these trends for a successful, agile business in global competition.
The Innovation Center focuses on:
- Big Data Management, Software AGs new platform for managing and analyzing huge data volumes in real-time
- Process Management with Software AGs solution for BPM
- Cloud-to-Cloud Integration for integrating and automating applications
- Data Management 2.0 for developing and running efficient, transaction-oriented applications

Read on to find more information about selected topics.
Booth overview
Big data in the public sector
Big data management is a relatively new theme in the public sector, but it is moving closer to the forefront to meet technical requirements. Just as in the private sector, public administration and government agencies need to process, analyze and compile growing volumes of data. And in-memory technology offers decisive advantages here. With Terracotta from Software AG, you can access huge volumes of in-memory data, and search, manage and scale these data sets. Furthermore, Terracotta helps to ensure the availability of in-memory data. Use this cost-effective data storage option to overcome performance bottlenecks and scale cost efficiently.Why Terracotta? - Find out in two minutes!
Fact sheet Terracotta / BigMemoryProcess data accelerator / P23R
The P23R principle includes a concept that will make sharing data between businesses and public administrations faster, more efficient and secure. Germany currently has more than 10,000 mandatory business registrations, which generate more than 50 billion in bureaucratic costs for businesses every year. The Deployment Board and Process Chain Forum committees were established to discuss concepts and results from the P23R project with experts.
Please feel free to ask our experts at CeBIT about it.
You can also learn more at our showcase about the x-trans.eu project, which was implemented using the P23R principle for processing cross-border heavy load shipments.
For more information about x-trans.eu click here.
Software AG is also pursuing a promising course in the area of document and information management. SOA combined with BPM unite administrative processes and the heterogeneous IT landscape of information storage systems (e.g., archives, document management systems, email and file servers). At the same time, an intelligent authorization system ensures the security and relevance of data and functions for users.
Software AG's e-files system is based on the webMethods Content Service Platform (CSP). The CSP is a component of the webMethods product suite that was specially developed for document and information management in heterogeneous IT landscapes that have grown over time. The CSP's architecture and interfaces offer the opportunity to integrate existing and new business applications.
Process automation
We will push ahead on the theme of process automation for boosting efficiency in production controlling in 2013. To this end, we have joined forces with Dataport, a service provider for public administrations in the German states of Hamburg, Bremen, Schleswig-Holstein, Lower Saxony, Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania and soon Saxony-Anhalt, to create a controlling prototype for process automation in production controlling.
With this prototype, which demonstrates the ITIL business process for event management, we want to show you how:
- Processes and procedures can be managed with IT support
- You can manage, measure and monitor your processes
- You can continually improve your processes

Currently the German Industry 4.0 research program is propagated as a new paradigm for manufacturing: merging the virtual IT world with the physical factory world. Modular, decentralized factory structures composed of smart devices and productsthe so-called "Cyber-Physical Systems" (CPS) are the key components. CPS is networked via a unified communication architecture using WLAN and Ethernet and can act and communicate autonomously. Ident-Technologies, such as RFID, AR tags and QR codes, will provide ubiquitous access to the underlying information, and augmented reality will become the key technology to connect the physical and virtual world.
The key feature of the Augmented Reality is that content is made available in the right context and moment. Google's conceptual study Project Glass, for example, has awakened public enthusiasm for augmented reality by demonstrating how lightweight, mobile hardware combined with contextual information enables powerful personal applications to seamlessly support everyday needs. What is promising as an application for the daily life could also be beneficial for manufacturing, as this presentation will show.Dipl. Ing.

Christian Zimmermann, Software AG, Director MarketingBusiness model and process model: Competitor or confederate
Conceptual business modeling is increasingly in focus of contemporary research. There is a strict distinction between business modeling and process modeling. Although, especially in service industries, many business ideas are process-oriented, business model frameworks merely cover key activities. These key activities are only rarely put into a timely and logical sequence. Moreover, it is questionable whether process models fulfill all functions of conceptual business models. In this talk, a method for the design of process-oriented business models is presented. The creation of this method was supported by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) in the research project KollaPro. Partners were the University of Muenster, Software AG, best practice consulting AG, and Durable Hunke & Jochheim GmbH & Co. KG.

FACT: Handling retirement pension products in asset management
Unit-linked insurance and company pension scheme products focusing on capital market have grown steadily and represent nowadays significant values in the portfolio structure of institutional investors. Nevertheless in-house handling and process have to keep in step with the external growth to guarantee continuous level of efficiency and client service.
FIRST, a software product for the assets inventory management, can support the respective process steps with modules designed for these purposes. Internal systems (e.g., contracting) as well as external systems (e.g., custodian and broker) can be linked for achieving high levels of efficiency. Moreover, functional requirements, such as disposition of units and company-oriented tax reporting, are covered in the same solution-based way.

S&P 500 Chart 5-Year Elliott Wave Analysis – 05 May 2013
May 5, 2013 in S&P 500
S&P 500 Chart 5-Year Elliott Wave Analysis – 05 May 2013
This is the S&P 500 Chart 5-Year Elliott Wave Analysis. The S&P 500 has made a new historical high for the past two weeks. A long term review of S&P 500 is in order. First up, let us review the Weekly S&P 500 Chart.
Primary Count
Here's the 5-Year S&P 500 Chart. There are a lot of Elliott Wave blogs which label the Primary wave [X] as an impulsive wave 1 or a new bull cycle. I cannot see any impulsive character in this wave. First of all, the volume has been diminishing as the S&P 500 progressed upwards. Secondly, the MACD which is a good indicator to confirm the wave count is pointing to a corrective pattern rather than an impulsive pattern. Just look at the MACD and you will immediately notice a characteristic signature of triangle. We have noticed that triangles always have MACD that oscillates about the zero line. This is also the case here.
This is the Primary count that we have for S&P 500. The Primary count labels the move since March 2009 as a W-X-Y corrective wave of Major degree. Major wave (Y) is best labelled as an ending diagonal based on the internal sub wave structure. The wave that is in progress is the Minor wave 5 of Major wave (Y). We believe that a top in S&P 500 is very near as the wave count is near to a completion. There are Fib confluence region around 1650 which we think is a likely top for S&P 500.
S&P 500 Monthly Chart
The Monthly S&P 500 Chart shows the larger degree wave count. One of the important reason that we show this chart is to highlight the volume information. Look at the volume and how it is trending down with each upwards move on the S&P 500.
The wave count is labelled as Primary wave [W]-[X]-[Y]. As highlighted in the weekly chart, S&P 500 is near the end of wave [X]. One of the popular wave structure in the monthly chart is the expanding triangle scenario as highlighted. This gives a target of 500 points for S&P 500. Wave [Y] could also turn out to be a sideways contracting triangle and it may not go as low as 500. It is still early days yet to delve into the wave [Y].
The S&P 500 Chart is clearly showing weakness in the fundamentals (volume and MACD) and as the price level approaches a long term trend line, it is important to be prepared for any trend change.

For a guy who comes from a big political clan, Joseph P. Kennedy III had no visible support from his family members when he kicked off his congressional campaign on Thursday. Thus the balancing act begins as the third generation of Massachusetts Kennedys seeks political office. There is pride in the name. But Kennedy seemed determined to strike out on his own, building off the advantages offered by his famous name but driven to seal his future himself.

Fibers (World of Forensic Science)
Fibers are one of the several pieces of forensic evidence known as trace evidence. Even though fibers are small and can be difficult to detect, their importance can be considerable. For example, textile fibers from an article of clothing can be influential in linking a suspect to the scene of a crime.
A fiber is the smallest portion of a textile material. Whether synthetic (i.e., rayon) or natural in origin (i.e., cotton), all fibers share the trait of being very much longer than their diameter. A short length of sewing thread is a good visual analogy of a fiber. The different origins of the materials that make up a fiber, and the differing ways that a fiber can be formed together to create the finished fabric, are all important in identifying the fiber.
Analysis of fibers that are found on a victim will involve determining the types of fibers present at the scene. For example, a fiber can be transferred from a carpet to a body. This fiber will not be as significant as a fiber found on a victim that is not present anywhere else at the scene. If a similar fiber is found on a suspect, this can be a powerful piece of evidence linking the suspect to the scene.
Fibers tend not to cling to other fabric tenaciously. Thus, forensic examiners must handle a victim with care, to minimize fiber loss. Retrieving the victim's clothing as soon as possible is a prudent step to preserving as many fibers as possible.
Fibers are typically collected using adhesive tape. The strips of tape are examined for fibers that match the fibers that are thought to be a normal part of the crime scene. This collection and analysis of fibers are tedious tasks.
Among the natural fibers, cotton and wool are the most popular. Other examples include flax, jute,
The number and location of fibers on a victim and a suspect are important in connecting the individuals together, especially if the fibers match. Matching fibers involves comparing the fiber type, color and type of dye used. The latter can be especially significant, given the nearly unlimited number of dye combinations that are possible.
Color is determined using a visible light microspectrophotometer or by thin-layer chromatography, which separates the various dye components. Synthetic fibers can also be examined by infra-red spectroscopy, which can also yield information on the chemical makeup of the fiber.

Trace Evidence (World of Forensic Science)
The scene of a crime often yields a large amount of trace evidence that has come from contact between the perpetrator and his or her surroundings. The importance of collecting and analyzing trace evidence comes from Edmond Locard's Exchange Principle, which states that every contact leaves a trace. That is, criminals leave something of themselves, such as hair or clothes fibers, behind at the crime scene, and they also take something away with them from their contact with people and objects there. Often criminals are not aware of this, because traces of contact evidence are, by their very nature, difficult to detect with the naked eye. It is precisely this property that makes trace evidence so valuable to the forensic investigator. Try as he might, the perpetrator cannot clear away all forms of trace evidence from the crime scene.
The most common forms of trace evidence are bloodstains, hair, textile fibers, paint, and glass fragments. The forensic scientist will be on the lookout for microscopic particles collected from the scene of the crime, to distinguish what is part of that environment and what is linked to the crime that took place there.
At the scene of a crime, the investigators will make an initial assessment that will tell them where to start looking for trace evidence. For instance, if a window has been broken, this might be a good source for textile fibers belonging to the perpetrator that might be matched in an examination of the clothing worn by a suspect. The investigator can probably work with a minute amount of trace evidence, given the power and sensitivity of modern analysis techniques. However, the investigator will be interested in how much material might be available for analysis. Rough surfaces will capture more trace evidence than smooth ones will, for example.
The persistence of the trace evidence is also an issue. Small particles persist longer than larger particles, as do those with irregular surfaces like broken glass or with rough surfaces like wool fibers. Trace evidence landing on a rough surface stays longer than that on a smooth surface. If a suspect's garments are worn between committing a crime and its investigation, there is a high chance that any trace evidence on the clothing may be lost.
However, material forming a smear on the surface through contact persists for longer than particle contact. This applies to blood or paint that might be found on a suspect's clothing. Washing may remove it, but otherwise it is more likely to be detected than particulate evidence, which can be brushed off.
Forensic scientists have a range of techniques for detecting invisible trace evidence. Much depends upon the contrast between the trace evidence and its background. Deeply dyed fibers are clearly easier to detect than pale ones, for example. One of the simplest methods of recovering trace evidence is to shake an item into a test container. This works for collecting glass and paint from garments. Some particulate trace evidence will not be dislodged by shaking but can be collected by brushing with a new toothbrush or paintbrush. Taping trace evidence can also be useful in the case of fibers and hairs. Strips of clear sticky tape are applied to surfaces like garments, car seats, and window ledges to pick up any trace evidence that might have been deposited there. Other methods of collection are vacuuming, swabbing, and hand picking.
There are many different techniques in use for the comparison and characterization of trace evidence, depending on its nature. The physical and chemical properties of glass fragments can easily be measured and compared with control samples. Textile fibers are often found at the scene of a crime. Typically, these are tiny, broken, and fragmented fibers that are not usually visible to the naked eye. Tapings of these fibers are usually first examined under a low power microscope. Further analysis involves a number of techniques such as thin layer chromatography or infrared spectroscopy.
Paint is another important kind of trace evidence. It is particularly important in the case of hit and run accidents, where fragments of paint might have been transferred to a victim's clothes or to another vehicle. If a match can be made between paint chips and the missing flakes of paint using microscopy, then a suspect may be either eliminated or convicted.
Hairs collected from the scene of a crime can also be a significant source of trace evidence. The inner layer, known as the cortex, is where the pigment granules lie, and this determines the color of the hair. However, on its own this kind of evidence is not really individualizing. If the hair has fresh roots, however, it may be a source of blood grouping or DNA profiling, in which case it may well establish identity. Other sources of trace evidence that can prove significant include: oils and waxes, as found in car accidents; soil, which may be trodden in all types of crime; and invisible bloodstains, which can be visualized with luminol. Taking care of the trace evidence may be the key to the investigator helping secure the right result in a crime investigation.
