The U.S. Supreme Court has agreed to decide whether a investigator in a Georgia district attorney's office has absolute immunity in a civil suit claiming he gave false testimony to a grand jury.
The investigator, James Paulk of Dougherty County, had testified that an accountant, Charles Rehberg, had harassed hospital officials, the Associated Press reports. Paulk later recanted, saying he started an investigation as a favor to the Phoebe Putney Memorial Hospital after the accountant had sent officials there a series of faxes criticizing the hospital's billing practices.
The prosecutors had indicted Rehberg three times in a six-month period, but each indictment failed for a lack of evidence, Courthouse News Service reports.
At issue is whether a government official who acts as a complaining witness and commits perjury has absolute immunity in a civil suit, SCOTUSblog reports.
The cert petition (PDF posted by SCOTUSblog) says the Supreme Court has ruled that law enforcement officials have absolute immunity in civil cases for perjured testimony at trial, but not when acting as a complaining witness to initiate an invalid arrest warrant. The federal appeals courts are split on the immunity issue for false testimony by government officials before grand juries.

Model Packs increase the number of Amp or FX Models of a GuitarPort, TonePort, PODxt, PODxt Live or PODxt Pro, for a wider variety of tone possibilities. When a particular tone in the library relies on a Model available in one of these packs, you'll see symbol(s) to indicate which Packs: MS (Metal Shop), CC (Classics Collection), FX (FX Junkie), and PP (Power Pack).
The models within the FX Junkie Model Pack are already included in PODxt Live, and offered for purchase to add-on to GuitarPort, TonePort, PODxt and PODxt Pro.
Variax is the uniquely flexibile guitar from Line 6. Our Vetta II amplifier includes a digital connection for the Variax that lets you store settings for both your amp and your guitar in the Vetta II so that when you call up a Vetta Channel Memory your amp and guitar can change sounds together. Vetta II Tones marked with this guitar symbol include this Variax data.
For each tone in the library, you'll see an icon for either a single coil or humbucker pickup. This tells you whether the tone is best for use with a single coil pickup or a humbucker, so you can select the appropriate pickup on your guitar when using this tone.
Attention POD 2.0, Flextone and HD147 owners... Your hardware doesn't do Stomp effects, so you'll hear something different than what was intended. Try increasing the Drive or choose a higher gain Amp Model to get the right sound. The other aspects of the sound should translate as expected, so you'll at least get a great starting place for tweaking.
Tones contributed by users to the Public Tone Exchange are made by individual users, who are in no way affiliated with Line 6. Any product name or trademarks used by the users to describe their Tones are the sole property of their respective owners. Any use of these product names or trademarks of other manufacturers should not be construed as an endorsement, association or affiliation with Line 6.

On the Christian calendar, today is All Saints Day. Unless we understand the resurrection as the answer to the power of death in our lives, there's no point in talking about saints. Saints are first of all resurrection people. Saints are people who hear the words, "I am the Resurrection and the Life," and trust that in those words they are hearing God's promise in the face of death. Saints believe that the promise of grace they received in their baptism is God's last word for them. Saints are people like us who struggle in this life but who are united in faith with those who have gone before us.Rev. John Ferrie is pastor of Good Shepherd Lutheran Church in Fayetteville. He is married to Gail Riina, Lutheran Chaplain at Syracuse University's Hendricks Chapel and SUNY ESF.

Under the Dome is to return to CBS this summer with a second season. According to a USA Today online article, "Dome, based on Stephen King's novel of the same name, was the most-watched scripted summer series in 21 years, averaging 15.1 million viewers". The show is based on Stephen King's novel, but the series is now going beyond that. The story as Stephen King told it is over. There is very little left to surprise us. Stephen King is behind the continuation of the story and even wrote the first episode of season two, "Heads Will Roll."
Stephen King will also appear as another town member trapped in the dome. He will be another town member for now, the question is will he survive?
The first season was about revealing secrets about the characters. Season two will be how the characters now have to deal with everything about them and their pasts.
There are several new characters being added to the show. Of course, viewers have not met everyone trapped inside the Dome yet, but eventually they will run out of characters, don't you think? Of course, the show probably won't be drawn out long enough to run out of people unless mass murders begin, but they do kill characters off fairly often.
As well as adding several characters, two familiar characters will die. Of course, they have not hinted to wither they are main characters or not. The guess would be probably not, but technically writers could kill off anyone at any time. Obviously Julia will not be killed off right away, since she is the monarch and all. What does that mean for her? How will she deal with being the dome's leader of choice?
CBS has already started teasing the previews for the second season. With the season two premier set to air on June 30th, viewers still have a long time to wait. People who were left behind or did not watch the first season have plenty of time to catch up on this amazing summer series.

This seems almost inevitable, yes? Jon Paul Morosi:
The Atlanta Braves, looking to add an outfield bat, have interest in signing free-agent outfielder Cody Ross, according to a major-league source.
With Torii Hunter likely choosing between the Rangers and Tigers, the Braves are pursuing another of the top right-handed bats on the market. Ross posted an .807 OPS with 22 home runs in 130 games with the Boston Red Sox this year.
They could do worse. They have holes in left field and third base, and Martin Prado will play in one of those positions. Assuming that the Braves aren't in Torii Hunter or Josh Hamilton's tax bracket, Cody Ross is a better option than anyone else, either at third or left. Him or Ryan Ludwick, I guess.
- sisqsage - Nov 13, 2012 at 5:15 PM
These Cody Ross stories are kind of turning into a joke.
- proudlycanadian - Nov 13, 2012 at 5:37 PM
The Braves lost one Ross, so why not replace him on the roster with another Ross. Give him the same uniform number, but do not let him try to catch.
- mrwillie - Nov 13, 2012 at 6:12 PM
Sadly enough, that could be the point that sells the deal to Liberty Media. "You mean we don't have to purchase new uniforms? By all means sign him then."

I want to see version 1.0.12, 1.0.13, 1.0.14 where 1.0.[BUILD], where BUILD is auto increasing on each build.

No more do we call a day cloudy, the new term for this day is SHADY!
Most call their days sunny or cloudy,
I find the cloudy ones to be better called,
I mean, look at the day,
When the sun does shine,
We use that day to enjoy the warmth,
When it is cloudy, we do but whine,
So why not change the name from cloudy to,
The sun is being shaded by the clouds, isn't that true ?
So let us call it something totally new,
This something being in lieu,
Of cloudy, something more along the lines of,
Usually when it is shady out,
The rain does come down,
Wouldn't it be funny, just once to see the rain, go up?
Or actually have it raining puppy dogs & kitty cats,
Or the day should maybe just remain,
Okay, enough of this talk of cloudy & shady & rain coming down,
I am still dressed in my sleeping gown,
So a shower I must take,
After I do make,
Myself do the fantasy & self sex route that I must remunerate.
So remember, cloudy days no longer exist,
We will now call them by their new given name,
That of, now what was that, oh damn this game,

Even More Ricardo Darin In This Teaser Trailer For HISTORIAS SALVAJES
Whenever Argentina's top leading man, Ricardo Darin, shows up in a film, one can't help but feel giddy with anticipation, which makes the epic teaser trailer for next year's Historias Salvajes seem even more promising than it already is.
Darin is the star of one of the six short stories that make up the film, which also includes other well-known faces such as Leonardo Sbaraglia (Intacto) and Dario Grandinetti (Talk To Her).
Director Damian Szifron previously gained notice with 2003's psychological thriller The Bottom of The Sea and its follow-up, 2005's buddy-action movie On Probation. Where the director has truly made a splash though, is in television, having created ratings smashes such as Los Simuladores (sometimes referred to as Argentina's version of The A-Team) and Hermanos y Detectives.
In any case, it's got Darín in it, and that makes it a must-see.

Ranking amongst the country's top venues to listen to live blues, Biscuits & Blues delights with an excellent menu of comforting Southern favorites and a music lineup that has blues aficionados hooked. The decor is classy with blue velvet drapes and little candle-lit tables for intimate dining. Menu favorites include shrimp and corn fritters, roasted pork chops and smoked turkey Jambalaya. While the intimate space doesn't boast of a large capacity, it's a great chance for fans to watch their favorite bands up close. Biscuits and Blues is just below the Curran Theater, thus you can hit two San Francisco landmarks in one night. It's an excellent choice to start, spend or finish a perfect night on the town.

We need a reasonably priced 'man and van' or taxi to take 12 medium sized suitcases from Torri Superiore to Garavan near Menton on a Sunday in September while we walk across the mountains! Suggestions as to where I find someone.
This is the route!

text: Close Tweet0 Share0 Comment0 Share0 Share0 Stumble It0 Print0 More Beyond the Baseline Aces and Faults: Sharapova victorious in Stuttgart; Nishikori wins Barcelona by Courtney Nguyen Twitter Email Posted: Mon Apr. 28, 2014 Updated: Sat Jun. 14, 2014 Maria Sharapova has never lost a game in the Stuttgart tournament. (Adam Pretty/Bongart/Getty Images)Aces and Faults recaps the week in tennis. Last week, Maria Sharapova won her third-straight title in Stuttgart, Kei Nishikori reigned supreme at the Barcelona Open after Rafael Nadal's early exit, Grigor Dimitrov beat the defending champion to win in Bucharest and Maria-Teresa Torro-Flor won her first WTA title.Trophy winnersMaria Sharapova: Sharapova drove away with her third Porsche -- does she really need another one? -- after coming back from a set and a break down to win 11 of the last 13 games and defeat Ana Ivanovic 3-6, 6-4, 6-1. The win was her third-straight Stuttgart title (she's 12-0 at the tournament), first title of the season and 30th WTA title. It's also the first time Sharapova has ever won a tournament three times."For the first half of the match I thought it might not be my day today, but somehow I turned it around," Sharapova said. "I had quite a slow beginning to the year, but me and my team have been working hard to get in the position to win titles again, and I'm so happy to be able to do it in Stuttgart." Her signature win came way back in the first round -- a 7-6 (5), 6-7 (5), 7-6 (2) win over Lucie Safarova that lasted nearly three-and-a-half hours.Highlights from the final below:http://youtu.be/-DadCbLQthYKei Nishikori: Nishikori survived the chaos at the Barcelona Open, capturing his second title of the season and his first-career title on clay. Seeded No. 4, Nishikori scored two solid straight-set wins over Ernests Gulbis and Marin Cilic before beating surprise finalist, Santiago Giraldo 6-2, 6-2 in the final to become the first Japanese player to win an ATP clay-court title. This was his first tournament since he beat Roger Federer at the Sony Open and then had to withdraw from the semifinals due to a groin injury. Nishikori's results this year have been stellar. Through seven tournaments he's won two titles, reached the semifinals twice and made the fourth round of the Australian Open. Now up to No. 12 in the rankings (just one shy of his career-best), it seems like he'll be in the top 10 as long as the injury-prone 24-year old can keep his body healthy.Check out his speed in this scrambling hot shot from the final:http://youtu.be/cZXVdtuHHPUGrigor Dimitrov: Since teaming up with Roger Rasheed last October, Dimitrov is 29-8 with three titles and an Australian Open quarterfinal under his belt. In his first tournament as a No. 1 seed, Dimitrov rolled to the title in Bucharest, beating defending champion Lukas Rosol 7-6 (2), 6-1 to win the BRD Nastase Tiriac Trophy. He matches his career-high ATP rank of No. 14 this week.http://youtu.be/-aiNAOVJwVIMaria-Teresa Torro-Flor: The WTA has yet another first-time winner this season. 22-year-old Torro-Flor won her first WTA final, beating Romina Oprandi 6-3, 3-6, 6-3 to win the Grand Prix SAR La Princesse Lalla Meryem. The win launches the young Spaniard into the top 50 for the first time. http://youtu.be/pW2cG0J97ogMore acesNick Kyrgios: The young Aussie celebrated his 19th birthday in style by defeating Jack Sock 2-6, 7-6(4), 6-4 to win his second straight ATP Challenger in Savannah, Ga. He became the first teenager since Grigor Dimitrov in 2010 to win back-to-back Challenger titles, and he'll rise to No. 151 in the rankings. Taylor Townsend: The 17-year-old won her first pro ITF tournament, losing just one set en route to the title at the $50,000 event in Charlottesville, Va. To top it off, she also won the doubles title with Asia Muhammed. The win puts her in the running for the USTA's French Open wildcard.This is the start of something great!— Taylor Townsend (@Taylor_Townsen) April 27, 2014Ana Ivanovic: There's no doubt that she's disappointed in herself, letting that lead slip away from her in the final, but this was Ivanovic's first final on clay since winning the French Open in 2008, if you can believe it. It was also her first Premier final since 2008, and she was just three games away from becoming the tour leader in titles this year. With the French Open looking as wide open as it has in a few years, Ivanovic is putting herself in prime position to be a dark-horse pick. Alisa Kleybanova: With her run to the Stuttgart quarterfinals, Kleybanova is back into the top 100 for the first time since January of 2012. Nice work. Rafael Nadal cannot control the ball against Nicolas Almagro at the Barcelona Open. (Jean Catuffe/Getty Images)FaultsRafael Nadal: It doesn't feel right that Nadal ends up on our Faults list for the second time in two weeks after yet another clay tournament, but the eight-time Barcelona Open champion suffered his first loss in 11 years at the tournament, losing to Nicolas Almagro 2-6, 7-6 (5), 6-4 in the quarterfinals. It was his first career loss to Almagro in 11 matches.Highlights from the match below:http://youtu.be/QV8pNTUDXA4The most surprising thing about the loss is Nadal's inability to hold a lead. He won the first set easily and held a 3-1 lead in the second set tiebreak before Almagro was able to storm back and take it 7-5. In the final set, Nadal again jumped out to a 3-1 lead only to see his serve broken three times. Serving for the match, Almagro fell to 15-40, but was able to hold off Nadal and finally serve it out. That's a slew of opportunities that Nadal uncharacteristically let go. He still has two big tournaments left to get his confidence back before his title defense at Roland Garros, making it a bit early to push the panic button, but there's definitely reason to be concerned.Petra Kvitova: Another one-and-done tournament for Kvitova, who lost her opening round match in Stuttgart to Kleybanova. She's failed to win a match at three of her seven tournaments this season, though it should be noted that she was coming off Fed Cup duty on quick indoor hard courts last weekend.David Ferrer: Any momentum gained with his win over Nadal in Monte Carlo was dashed with his straight-set loss to Teymuraz Gabashvili in his first match in Barcelona. Simona Halep: In her first WTA tournament since Indian Wells, Halep walked away winless in a 7-5, 7-6 (4) loss to Svetlana Kuznetsova. Given Kuznetsova's credentials, that's not a horrible loss on paper, but it was an error-strewn performance from Halep, who seemed to be cruising at 5-2 in the first set. She went on to win just one more point in the set, losing 15 straight points during one stretch, to hand the set to Kuznetsova.Photo of the week Kei Nishikori celebrates his victory at the Barcelona Open by jumping into the club's pool. (Getty Images)Go figure40: Consecutive wins for Sharapova on clay against opponents other than Serena Williams.

She announced the news via Vine. Because that's what the kids do these days.• Novak Djokovic is going to be a dad.• Lucie Safarova: Always the bridesmaid, never the bride. She's now played three memorable three set matches that could have gone her way, only to lose in heartbreaking fashion. First there was the match point miss she had against Li Na at the Australian Open. Then there was the three-set epic she played against Sharapova at the Sony Open that saw her save a host of match points. Now she's played another tight one against Sharapova and lost in a three-tiebreak match, the first on the WTA since 2010. Anne Keothavong, who now commentates for Britain's BT Sport said it best:What a match! If Safarova doesn't shed a few tears, I will for her. Highly entertaining tennis from both players.— Anne Keothavong (@annekeothavong) April 22, 2014• Svetlana Kuznetsova looks healthy again and for the first time this season she won back-to-back matches at a tournament. Was it a one-off situation or the signal of a trend? She's someone to keep an eye on in Madrid and Rome.• Laura Robson underwent wrist surgery and then posted a loopy Instagram video.• No surprise that the German Fed Cup team went 1 for three in Stuttgart after their long trek down to Australia and back. Julia Goerges was the only one who won a match -- a good win over Sorana Cirstea -- while the Fed Cup heroes Angelique Kerber and Andrea Petkovic lost to Carla Suarez Navarro and Flavia Pennetta, respectively. In fact, it wasn't a great showing for the Germans regardless of Fed Cup duty. Sabine Lisicki, Annika Beck, and Mona Barthel didn't win matches either.• The Stuttgart and Bucharest champions have been reunited in Madrid.No,you did it! #Madrid #selfie pic.twitter.com/sOnnZ2TASY— Grigor Dimitrov (@GrigorDimitrov) April 28, 2014 Nicolas Almagro celebrates his first-career victory over Rafael Nadal. (Getty Images)• Nicolas Almagro: Beats No. 1 Nadal, loses to No. 65 Giraldo 24 hours later. There are few things more deflating in tennis than the lack of follow-up after a big upset. Passing shots• Beating Nadal on clay in a best-of-five format is a completely different ask than best-of-three.• That said, will 2014 be for the ATP what 2011 was for the WTA?• I enjoy Sugarpova as much as the next person, but Sharapova's transformation into "Claypova" remains one of the most interesting stories every time the clay season rolls around. Equal parts impressive and baffling.• The Stuttgart crowd remains one of the best in women's tennis.• Dimitrov handled his first tournament as a No. 1 seed well. I like that.• Until Serena returns -- whenever that may be -- this WTA clay season is impossible to call. And even then...• Dear Tennis Gods: Please do what you can to keep Kei Nishikori healthy. • I would be surprised to see Azarenka back on court before the U.S. Open Series. Promoted Stories Comments

Pachypodium namaquanum (Wyley ex Harv.) Welw. |
Pachypodium namaquanum (Wyley ex Harv.) Welw. is a succulent single-stemmed plant growing to 4 metres tall in the arid, rocky mountains of the Richtersveld in the Northern Cape and southern Namibia. The warty trunk, thickset at the base and tapering to the top, is densely covered in sharp spines. Where damaged, the trunk produces side-branches that immediately curve back to the vertical. while the very top of the plant is usually bent to the north, in the same way that Copiapoa cinerea (Cactaceae) of the Atacama Desert leans to the north. There is a crown or tuft of undulate leaves at the apex of the trunk during the growing season which is throughout the winter months. The tubular velvet-textured flowers appear from August to October and result in twin seedpods in a V-shape. These split down one side to release the wind-dispersed plumed seeds. Seen from a distance, the plant has the appearance of a person trudging up a slope whence its common name of "Halfmens" (Afrikaans for 'semi-human'). It is also called Elephant's trunk.[2]
Pachypodium namaquanum is found in its greatest numbers in the Gariep Centre which has the greatest variety of succulents on earth. Rainfall here occurs mainly in winter and varies from 50 to 150 mm. Extremely arid conditions are to be found in the rain shadows of certain mountain ranges where the rainfall may be 15 mm or less. Thick fog moving inland from the Atlantic coast can add to the precipitation. Temperatures in summer may reach 50°C. The plant is CITES-listed as an Appendix 1 and 2 species, prohibiting trade unless the necessary certificates and permits have been obtained. The removal of this species by collectors poses a distinct threat to its survival.
The name Pachypodium is from the Greek for 'thick foot', an allusion to its swollen base, while namaquanum is a reference to Namaqualand. This plant belongs to the Apocynaceae or Plumeria family, usually with milky latex rich in glycosides and alkaloids, of which many members are commonly cultivated. There are 23 species of Pachypodium of which 18 occur in Madagascar and 5 in southern Africa - three of these are succulent spiny shrubs while Pachypodium lealii, also tree-sized, occurs in the Kaokoveld in Namibia.

I was in Worcester yesterday at their lovely public library at a NELA-ITS event with the amusing title "Cloudy with a Chance of Connecting to the Future!" I gave a pretty straightforward talk about what libraries need to think about when they think about cloud technologies. And, for a meta aspect, I asked folks on Twitter for suggestions and advice about how to limit the large amount of stuff cloud-related that I wanted to talk about. I skipped my usual "Web page with list of relevant links" format, but you can see my slides and notes via this pdf if you're interested. More to the point I wanted to link to the sources that I used that I found really helpful.

I manually installed threadscope-0.2.2 with -rtsopts to allow me to change the stack space size. My program ran for ~4.5 minutes on four cores and threadscope required -K1000000000 before it would successfully load the graph.
