Owl City played Revolution Live in Fort Lauderdale
Owl City is the perfect example of how a kid writing music in his basement in Minnesota can blow up to international success overnight: The oddly named act (aka Adam Young) – with a voice extremely reminiscent of Death Cab For Cutie and The Postal Service singer Ben Gibbard – was suddenly propelled to fame when his song "Fireflies" went viral. Now he's touring in support of his fourth studio album, "The Midsummer Station," featuring the hit "Good Time" with Carly Rae Jepsen, and rocks Revolution Live in Fort Lauderdale at 7 p.m. Friday, Sept. 7. Young talked to Miami.com about the show and his unlikely rise to fame.
What's a live concert by Owl City like?
For this tour, we tried to make the live show dynamic and powerful. We have a lot more big and loud guitars than there are on the album so that it gives off a rock-show sound and vibe.
You performed most of the instruments on your records – what's the breakdown live?
We have Daniel who plays synth, guitar, vibraphone and drums, Breanne who sings and plays keys, Jasper on guitar and synth and Steve on drums in addition to me singing, on guitars and keys.
How long will you play, and how much of the new album will we hear?
We'll play for quite a bit, and you will hear all the new songs off the new album, mixed with old songs.
When you first started recording at home in your basement, did you envision success like this? What was your goal?
It depends on how one defines success. When I first started experimenting with music, it was out of boredom, so I definitely wasn't expecting the reception that "Fireflies" got, and that was never the end goal. And now still, as long as I can inspire someone with my music, then that to me is success.
When did you first realize music could be much more than a hobby for you? Was there a "eureka" moment?
It truly happened overnight. It easily went from a hobby to becoming my passion, and now it's all I can think about. There wasn't really one particular "eureka" moment so much as there were a bunch of wake-up calls that led me to finally believe that doing this for a living would be able to sustain me.
As a Christian, has the rock-'n'-roll touring lifestyle caused any conflict with you?
It really hasn't affected my faith. I tend to be a private and independent person, so I don't really engage in the fame and fortune aspect of touring anyway. So far I've been lucky that it hasn't proved to be a challenge.
Who or what has influenced you the most musically?
For the new record, I would definitely say my love of dance and trance music has influenced me the most musically. In particular, European club tracks and the great Dutch DJs of the past 10 years. There is something epic about dance production, and I wanted to recreate that magical feeling in my music as well.
How often have you been to Miami, and what do you think of the city?
Not often, just while on tour, but I think it's a good change from the Midwest. The weather is always warm, and I enjoy being by beaches since we don't have many in Minnesota.

My friend had some of this leftover from when her daughter used it for labor. All I know is that this massage oil is WONDERFUL! I recently had super severe low back spasms that had me screaming from the pain. My friend massaged my back with some of this while applying hot and cold packs off and on, and it helped significantly. I especially loved the essential oil scent of this oil. It helped me relax a great deal.
The only trouble we had was when we went to get more, it was very hard to find in natural health stores, so we could only get it online. It comes in a small bottle that is good for toting it in your labor bag or cosmetic bag. This labor massage oil would be a great gift for a expectant mother.

M.A. - Illinois State University; B.A. Universidad Francisco Marroquin
I am originally from Guatemala City, Guatemala where I received my B.A. in Communications from the Universidad Francisco Marroquín. My M.A. is from Illinois State University, with a primary concentration in Latin American Literature and a secondary concentration in Peninsular Culture. Previously, I have taught at the community college level in California and at the university level at Illinois State University. What I enjoy the most about teaching at Illinois Wesleyan University is the opportunity to share my language and culture with IWU students. Foremost is the gratifying feeling to know they are immersing themselves and exchanging new perspectives about the culture. I enjoy writing poetry and short stories because I believe literature highlights our human sensibility.

I guess I could live with it but does anyone know is this a software "reset issue" or do I need to get it fixed. I am not sure where to even get it fixed (who would have the CPU)? KEH? Any ideas? Thanks, Jeffrey

This document provides a sample CSS keepalive script to be used in a CDM/CR high availability configuration to down a device that is not responding quickly enough. Typically, this will be the CDM that is busy with other operations like importing files, deleting files, and so on.
The web server may respond quickly when a redirection request may take some time as the CDM/CR has to look through its tables. The CSS can be configured to down the device path on the first failure.

National e-Governance Plan (NeGP)
To bring the benefits of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) at the last mile to ensure transparent, timely and hassle free delivery of citizen services, Government of India has initiated e-Governance programme in country in the late 1990s. After that, Union Government has approved the National e-Governance Plan (NeGP), comprising of 27 Mission Mode Projects (MMPs) and 8 components on May 18, 2006 to give a boost to e-Governance initiatives in India. Department of Information Technology (DIT) and Department of Administrative Reforms and Public Grievances (DAR&PG) has formulated the National e-Governance Plan (NeGP).
Vision of National e-Governance Plan
National e-Governance Plan has been launched with the aim of improving delivery of Government services to citizens and businesses is guided by the following vision:
"Make all Public Services accessible to the common man in his locality, through common service delivery outlets and ensure efficiency, transparency and reliability of such services at affordable costs to realize the basic needs of the common man."
The vision statement clearly underlines these priorities of the Government in fostering good governance:
Accessibility: The vision has been designed keeping the rural population in mind. The need is to reach those sections of the society which have remained tangential to the government sphere due to various reasons like geographical challenges and lack of awareness. National e-Governance Plan (NeGP) has a provision for State Wide Area Network (SWAN) to connect all the government offices upto the block level and Common Service Centres (CSCs) for accessing the citizens from the rural areas.
Common Service Delivery Outlets: At present, citizens especially those living in remote rural areas have to travel long distances to avail a service through a government department or its local offices. This is time-consuming and costly affairs for a common man to access citizen services. To overcome this problem, as a part of the National e-Governance Plan (NeGP) vision, one computer and internet enabled Common Service Centre (CSC) is envisaged to set up for every six villages so that Villagers can easily avail these services. These Common Service Centres (CSCs) are envisaged to offer online Integrated Service Delivery on 'Anytime, Anywhere' basis.
Adopting e-Governance for improving the Governance: The use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) will enable government to reach citizens thereby improving governance. This will also enable improvement in monitoring and implementing of various government schemes thereby increasing the accountability and transparency in government.
Improve the quality of life of citizens: e-Governance would help in attaining this objective through the provision of citizen centric service delivery at nominal cost, and thereby providing better turnaround times and convenience in demanding and availing services.
Hence, the vision is to use e-Governance as the route for governments to strengthen good governance. All services provided through the various e-Governance initiatives are expected to assist the governments at the Central and State levels in reaching the yet 'unreached' and enable involvement and empowerment of marginalized groups through their participation in the government processes thereby contributing towards poverty reduction and bridging the sharp social and economic divide.
Implementation Strategy for National e-Governance Plan
A prudent approach, therefore, is proposed for the National e-Governance Plan (NeGP), which is based on lessons learnt from the past and experiences from successful e-Governance applications that have been implemented nationally and internationally. The approach and methodology adopted for National e-Governance Plan (NeGP) contains the following elements:
Common Infrastructure: National e-Governance Plan (NeGP) implementation involves setting up of common and support IT infrastructure such as: State Wide Area Networks (SWANs), State Data Centres (SDCs), Common Services Centres (CSCs) and Electronic Service Delivery Gateways.
Governance: Suitable arrangements for monitoring and coordinating the implementation of National e-Governance Plan under the direction of the competent authorities have been set up. The programme also involves evolving/ laying down standards and policy guidelines, providing technical support, undertaking capacity building, Research and Development etc. Department of Information Technology (DIT) strengthens itself and various institutions like National Informatics Centre (NIC), Standardization, Testing and Quality Certification (STQC), Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC), National Institute for Smart Governance (NISG) etc., to play these roles effectively.
Centralized Initiative, Decentralized Implementation: e-Governance is being promoted through a centralized initiative to the extent necessary to ensure citizen-centric orientation, realize the objective of inter-operability of various e-Governance applications and ensure optimal utilization of Information and Communication Technology infrastructure and resources while allowing for a decentralized implementation model. It also aims at identifying successful projects and replicating them with required customization wherever needed.
Public-Private Partnerships (PPP) model: It has to be adopted wherever feasible to enlarge the resource pool without compromising on the security aspects.
Integrative elements: Adoption of unique identification codes for citizens, businesses and property is to be promoted to facilitate integration and avoid ambiguity.
Implementation Framework for National e-Governance Plan (NeGP)
Considering the multiplicity of agencies involved in the implementation of National e-Governance Plan (NeGP) and the need for overall aggregation and integration at the national level, it has been decided to implement National e-Governance Plan as a programme, with well-defined roles and responsibilities of each agency involved and to create an appropriate programme management structure and it has already been approved by government. The key components and features of the programme management structure are given in the graphic.
The Strategy for Service Delivery
A common digital service delivery infrastructure consisting of the State Wide Area Network (SWAN), State Data Centre (SDC), National/State Service Delivery Gateway (NSDG/SSDG), State Portal and Common Services Centre (CSC) are being created in every State and Union Territory to ensure seamless and single-window delivery of public services to the common man.
Capacity Building
National e-Governance Plan (NeGP) is a large and complex endeavor covering 20 central departments, 35 States/ Union Territories and 360 departments across these states/UTs and nearly 500 implementation agencies. In all it is expected to require 70,000 man-years of effort. Therefore, for National e-Governance Plan (NeGP) to achieve its goals, capacity gap that need to be addressed include engaging experts, developing skills and imparting training. Capacity Building scheme is aimed at addressing the above challenges in a holistic manner including support for creation of State e-Governance Mission Teams (SeMT), Project e-Governance Mission Teams (PeMT) and Human Resource management. This scheme is also meant for initiating through various activities like empanelment of candidates, facilitating States in recruitments and providing orientation and sensitization at various levels of leaders/ officers involved in e-Governance project implementation, orientation for State e-Governance Mission Teams (SeMT), and specialized trainings with centralized curriculum and content development for various level of officers at programme and project levels.
It is envisaged to fill in the three specific capacity gaps in the states, in general:
- Lack of Personnel with appropriate background and aptitude,
- Inadequate skill sets of personnel already deployed
- Lack of appropriate institutional framework to handle the specific program

This photograph was passed down from Myrtle Martin Hamilton (m. Elza Hamilton in Leon IA) to her brother Eugene (father of the keeper of these pages) many years ago. She did not mark on the photograph which Martin brother was which. We've determined that on the Left is James Henry Martin who was an RLDS Priest and lived in Lamoni; second from left we believe to be John Martin. Third from Left is definately Thomas Martin who lived in the Cainsville/Blythedale areas of Harrison County MO before locating in Johnson County Iowa in about 1926. Far right we believe is George Martin. Missing from the photo we are fairly certain is William, who was killed in a railroad accident in Independence Mo in 1911.
If you have any ties to this family and know for certain who is who, PLEASE send me some e-mail.

Encana Corporation (TSX, NYSE: ECA) is planning to invest an additional $600 million during the remainder of 2012 to take advantage of positive initial results achieved in a number of oil and liquids rich natural gas plays. In addition to the revised capital guidance, the company also increased its expected total liquids production for the year by seven percent to 30,000 barrels per day (bbls/d). "We're encouraged with the success we have realized so far this year in our oil and liquids rich natural gas plays. Increasing our 2012 capital investment supports our goal of developing a more diversified production portfolio," says Randy Eresman, Encana President & CEO. "Our teams have been successfully transitioning their technical and commercial expertise from the development of natural gas plays to oil and natural gas liquids rich plays, and through their efforts, we expect to achieve a more balanced operating cash flow stream in 2013." Encana's original 2012 plan to drill between 40 and 45 wells has been expanded to drill between 115 and 120 wells in 10 plays primarily focused on oil. The company is expecting to drill approximately 350 oil and liquids rich wells in 2013. Encana projects liquids production in 2013 to range from 60,000 bbls/d to 70,000 bbls/d, about 40 percent of which is expected to be comprised of oil and field condensate. This represents a two year compound annual growth rate of approximately 65 percent, based on the midpoint of the range. Annualized natural gas production is expected to remain near current levels of approximately 3 billion cubic feet per day for 2012 and 2013. For 2013, capital investment is estimated to range between $4.0 billion to $5.0 billion, cash flow to be between $2.5 billion to $3.5 billion and net divestitures to be in the range of $1.0 billion to $1.5 billion.

It's Valentine's Day, and you might be looking forward to getting flowers or a date tonight with your special someone at an exclusive restaurant you booked weeks in advance.
A group of women from Philadelphia suburbs celebrated the occasion in a different way over the weekend — by expressing their appreciation for complete strangers.
Patricia Gallagher and her crew of 10 volunteers came bearing loads of gifts and goodies to Open Arms of Nicetown II over the weekend, a place in Northeast Philadelphia that provides transitional housing for homeless veterans.
The volunteers kicked off the festivities with short speeches honoring the men for their service and handed out homemade blankets that they brought for each of the home's nearly 40 residents.
"They brought clothing, they brought food, and they brought love — that's the most important thing that they brought," said Dwayne Lowery, one of the two dozen vets gathered in the cafeteria to partake in the celebration.
Gallagher draped the crocheted symbols of warmth and love around some of the men, adding some color to the beige-walled room.
"We need something to lift our spirits, because a lot of us suffer from depression," said Lowery, 55, a former missile and radar operator who served in the Army from 1980 to 1985.
Lornix Jordan, the executive director of the facility, said that other mental health issues like PTSD are also common among the residents. The staff coordinates intensive outpatient treatment for those who need it.
"They're here to stay 8 months to a year," said Jordan, while they help the men get back on their feet.
Don Hoffman said the party built up his spirits. "I really needed it — I really did," said Hoffman. "I think it's wonderful."
The act of kindness was not out of character for Gallagher, who has become known for collecting donated flowers and delivering them to Philadelphia nursing homes.
"I just like to help," said Gallagher. "I'm not a social worker, I'm not a social activist. I'm just a woman, an empty nester who accidentally fell upon this place and was glad they said we could come."

Page 194
was born in Mercer county, Missouri, November 13th, 1851. John Hamilton, his father, was a native of Knoxville, Tennessee. The Hamiltons were originally from Scotland, and emigrated to America before the Revolutionary struggle. In 1835 Mr. Hamilton left his native state and came to Illinois. Here he remained for three years, when he returned to Tennessee, and in 1849 removed back to this state and settled in Morgan county, remaining until 1851, when he removed to Mercer county, Missouri, where the subject of our sketch was born. In 1855 he moved back to Illinois and in 1856 came to Girard, where he engaged in farming. He remained here until 1875, when he returned to Mercer county, Missouri, his present residence. He married Miss Rhoda George, a native of Tennessee. This union was blessed with eight children, six of whom are living. Henry C., is the eldest of the family. He attended the schools until his twelfth year, when he was compelled to abandon school and help support himself and the family of his father, the latter being poor and having a large family on his hands. Henry was thus deprived of the advantages of receiving such an education as falls to the lot of most youths in this privileged and favored country. He was compelled to become a producer as well as a consumer. By his assistance his father was enabled to secure for himself a comfortable home. At the age of thirteen years he went out from home and did all manner of work that presented itself. He continued this until 1867, when he went into the banking house of William Hindle of Girard, as book-keeper, and remained in that capacity until 1871, when he accepted a similar situation in the banking house of B. P. Andrews, and remained with the latter until 1874. Mr. Andrews sold out, and in connection with other capitalists organized the bank of Girard. Mr. Hamilton was then appointed assistant cashier. In 1875 Mr. Andrews, who was cashier, retired from the business, and Mr. Hamilton was promoted to the office of cashier, a position he still holds and fills to the entire satisfaction of his employers and numerous friends. On the 7th of May, 1873, he was married to Miss Permelia E., daughter of Samuel England. She was born in Macoupin county, May 7th 1853. Three children have been born to them, all girls. In politics Mr. Hamilton is a democrat, and cast his first vote for the liberal candidate, Horace Greeley, for President, in 1872, and since that time has acted and voted with the democratic party.

Home value maps graphically display up-to-date average listing and median sales prices for regions of the United States, and users compare prices by county, city or state, as displayed on Trulia.com. Other searchable categories include rental prices and prices per square foot.Continue Reading
Home value maps use data from the Housing Price Index published by the Federal Housing Finance Agency every three months. Data from the S&P/Case-Shiller home-price index also contributes to the maps, with a national index, a 10-city and a 20-city composite index and a breakdown of 20 metropolitan areas forming the base for data presented. There is a two-month lag between the S&P's quarterly report and the data's release, notes Investopedia.
Interactive home value maps show the current prices of single-family homes and record the change in value by quarter or year. Area-specific maps show median sales prices in different counties and have options for comparing data dating back to 2000, outlines the The Washington Post.
Other home-value maps plot the most expensive areas of each state for homeowners. The data comes from the Census Bureau's American Community Survey, an annual measure taken to better understand the U.S. population, according to BusinessInsider.com. The infographic gives both the most expensive and least expensive places to live in each state.Learn more about Finding a Home

Hi All,
I'm new to Silverstripe. I tried it, looked into the code, i found it cool.
So i do have some more administrative question:
1) Is there any modules, or core code, to have one single install and manage multiple website on the same or on different domains ? Each one with his own admin interface and perhaps DB.
2) Is there any upgrade howto ?
3) Is there a tools to manage many remote websites ? By manage, i mainly mean INSTALL, UPGRADE, etc...
I wonder to know if these 3 questions have an answer or if i got to learn sapphire framework and contribute to the project.

The WASP Injector Scuba Diving Knife
The most effective knife for underwater protection…
The WASP injector knife does exactly what it says on the label; it packs a lethal injection of compressed air that adds a ball of cold punishment into each strike.
Upon piercing its target, the WASP injector knife expels a freezing ball of compressed gas at 800psi which can freeze an area approximately the size of basket ball in an instant.
The concept behind the injector knife was derived from the devastating effects that compressed air can have on the body whilst underwater. Anyone with scuba diving experience knows that holding our breath and rising to the surface quickly can cause the lungs to explode from over inflation.
Injecting the high pressure gas into an underwater predator not only freezes all the organs surrounding the wound, but it also causes the predator to rise to the surface before any blood is spilled, thus distracting other potentials attackers away from the diver – especially handy for sharks who home in on the smell of the blood.
While the concept and design of the WASP injector knife makes it a perfect weapon for underwater protection, it is equally effective as hunting or tactical knife.
Needless to say, no matter how effective the injector knife is, both WASP and 800HighTech do not condone the killing of innocent creatures.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — State District Court jury returned verdict this week after two-day trial
A woman accused of attacking her boyfriend while on duty as a San Miguel County sheriff's deputy after finding him in bed with another woman last year has been found not guilty by a state District Court jury, the Las Vegas Optic reported.
The newspaper said Inez Bolivar, 29, was found not guilty by an eight-woman, four-man jury Tuesday at the end of a two-day trial before state District Judge Eugenio Mathis.
Bolivar was on trial on charges of aggravated battery against a household member causing great bodily harm, aggravated assault of a household member by use of a deadly weapon and criminal damage to property under $1,000, according to the Optic.
The newspaper reported that after the verdict was returned, Bolivar thanked all the people who believed in her, including her family, her attorney and Sheriff Benjie Vigil.
Although Vigil had fired Bolivar weeks after the Sept. 20 incident, he never wavered in his support of her and had attended the trial, according to the Optic. The sheriff had called the charges against Bolivar false and ridiculous, the newspaper said.
Adrian Martinez, the alleged victim, testified during the trial that he was asleep in bed with another woman when Bolivar came in to wake him up, in uniform and armed with a gun. He said she kicked him, cursed at him and then got on top of him, straddling him at the waist, and started punching him in the face, the Optic reported.
Bolivar, meanwhile, testified that she had gone to tell the man she loved good morning and give him a kiss, and that Martinez told her there was no relationship between them. She said she became frightened when Martinez started kicking at her, so she jumped on top of him to restrain him before he got up and ran out the door, according to the newspaper.
Thursday, 15 July 2010 08:50
The trial of former San Miguel County sheriff's Deputy Inez Bolivar, 29, on charges that she attacked her boyfriend when she found him in bed with another woman last September, got under way this week with witnesses describing Bolivar as a jealous woman who attacked the man in a rage, the Las Vegas Optic reported.
Bolivar is charged with aggravated battery, aggravated assault and criminal damage to property, in connection with her alleged attack on Adrian Martinez last Sept. 20 as she walked into his house while on duty, in uniform and wearing a gun, the Optic said.
Meanwhile, Sheriff Benjie Vigil, who fired Bolivar after calling the charges against his deputy "false" and ridiculous," attended the trial on Monday and said he still backs Bolivar, saying the incident couldn't have happened the way the state says it did, the paper reported.
"If she wanted to injure him, she would have. There is no injury," Vigil said. "That's why I believe her."
Bolivar's attorney Art Bustos told jurors in his opening statements that his client was acting in self-defense, defending herself from Martinez who he said was kicking her from the bed, the Optic said.
Bustos also said Bolivar and Martinez had been a couple up to the day of the incident, while Martinez has said the two broke up a year earlier, the paper reported.
As Martinez testified, Bolivar often shook her head in disbelief and whispered often to her attorney, according to the Optic.
During a jury break, state District Judge Eugenio Mathis chastised Bolivar for staring at Martinez in a way that could be seen as intimidating, the Optic said.
Mathis has rejected plea deals between Bolivar and prosecutors at least twice in the past couple of months, the paper reported.
3:00pm 5/5/10 — Plea Deal Between Former Deputy, Prosecutors Rejected by Judge: Former San Miguel County sheriff's deputy is accused of beating up her ex-boyfriend while armed and on duty.
A former San Miguel County sheriff's deputy accused of beating up an ex-boyfriend in his house while she was on duty, in uniform and armed with a gun will go to trial after a state District Court judge rejected a plea deal between the woman and prosecutors, the Las Vegas Optic reported.
Inez Bolivar, 30, allegedly attacked her former boyfriend on Sept. 20, the newspaper said.
The Optic reported that according to authorities, the man was sleeping in his bed with another woman when Bolivar walked into the house, yelled at him and kicked him while he was still in bed. He suffered a broken nose and hemorrhaging in his eyes.
Under terms of the plea agreement presented to state District Judge Eugenio Mathis on Monday, Bolivar would plead guilty to the third-degree felony of aggravated battery against a household member and prosecutors would drop three other charges and place her under supervised probation for 36 months, with the possibility of ending it after eight months, the newspaper said.
The Optic reported that when the judge asked Bolivar if she had kicked the victim in the head, she said she didn't. She said he was kicking her from the bed and that she was trying to restrain him, according to the newspaper.
The judge then said he wouldn't accept the plea agreement because there wasn't a basis for it because of Bolivar's statement, the Optic reported.
Prosecutors had canceled subpoenas for witnesses because of the plea deal with Bolivar, so her trial could not be started as scheduled on Tuesday, according to the newspaper. Mathis said he would hold the trial within the next six months.
Wednesday, 28 October 2009 07:25
A State Police report says the former San Miguel sheriff's deputy who was accused of breaking into a man's house and beating him up while on duty had her hand on her gun during the incident, the Las Vegas Optic reported.
"I really felt that she was going to shoot me," the deputy's former boyfriend said in the report.
Inez Bolivar, 29, is now facing charges of felony aggravated battery and assault against a household member, as well as burglary and criminal damage to property, and she faces a preliminary hearing in the case on Friday, the Optic said.
Although San Miguel County Sheriff Bennie Vigil told the Optic a week after the alleged incident that he believed his deputy's story and that the charges against her were "ridiculous" and "false," Vigil fired Bolivar a day later, the paper reported.
Bolivar, a Highlands University student, also votes with the Las Vegas City Council on housing issues as a representative of public housing residents, the Optic said.
Bolivar's former boyfriend suffered a broken nose and injuries to his face, chest, arms, back and neck and had dark red circles in the whites of his eyes as a result of the alleged attack, according to a copy of the State Police report, which the Optic obtained through a public records request.
According to the report, the man was in bed with another woman when Bolivar entered the house around 8 a.m., got onto the bed and allegedly straddled the man and began punching him, the Optic said.
The man eventually escaped and hid behind a car at the officer's house, which is close to the alleged victim's house, the report said.
7:00am 10/1/09 — Female Deputy on Leave After Alleged Attack: San Miguel Co. sheriff calls domestic violence charges 'ridiculous' and 'false.'
A San Miguel County sheriff's deputy is on administrative leave following an incident in which the female officer was accused of attacking a man inside his house last month, but Sheriff Bennie Vigil called the charges "ridiculous" and "false," the Las Vegas Optic reported.
Deputy Inez Bolivar, 29, who became a deputy three months ago, was accused of walking into a house unannounced around 8 a.m. Sept. 20 and physically attacking a man, causing "fairly significant injuries," according to the State Police Lt. Craig Martin.
Bolivar was on duty, wearing her uniform and carrying a gun, and at least three other people were in the house at the time, Martin said.
State Police were called to the house shortly after the incident, and after officers interviewed witnesses, the sheriff was called and Bolivar was interviewed by State Police, according to the Optic.
Bolivar was not placed under arrest, but on the advice of the District Attorney's Office was issued a criminal summons, meaning she didn't have to go to jail, Martin told the Optic.
District Attorney Richard Flores said his prosecutor initially was told the case was a misdemeanor, but it was later determined that the alleged victim suffered more serious injuries, including a broken nose, so an arrest warrant could be issued once he receives the State Police report, the Optic said.
Bolivar, who votes with the City Council on housing issues as the representative of public housing residents, won't get any preferential treatment, Flores told the Optic.
The sheriff said Bolivar has been on administrative leave since shortly after the incident, the paper reported.
"The charges are ridiculous. She didn't batter (the victim). I believe her," Vigil told the Optic. "Those charges filed against her are false. That's how I feel."
Bolivar is facing charges of burglary, aggravated battery on a household member, aggravated assault on a household member and criminal damage to property, the Optic said.

The ONLY advice I rely on is from Stereophile! There, I said it. Actually, hi-fi nuts are just as bad as car buffs. (My MG is better than your Triumph; tubes sound better than solid-state; planar speakers are more "transparent" than conventional drivers; etc., etc.) Everyone gives you advice based on his or her "bias." Most of it is just "negative feedback." However, I DO give advice, especially when asked.
How much do you rely on others for audio advice? Please tell us who you listen to.
Audio experts can come in all shapes and sizes: a great dealer, an audiophile friend or relative, an audio consultant---even a magazine writer. How much do you value their opinions?
While auditioning some tube integrated amplifiers last week at Primus in Kansas City, I was having a very hard time picking between the Conrad-Johnson CAV-50 and the Tube Technology Unisis. We took a long time listening to the amps. I felt I knew the difference between them. They both had that tubeness to them I wanted, but the C-J was more open and the Tube Technology had better control of the dynamics (more like solid-state). The salesman (Bill) confirmed my more in-depth description. My brain was saying one, my heart the other, what to do, what to do? Bill asked me if I was planning on keeping the solid-state amp that I had now. Yes, I am going to keep it. He said, go with your heart---you have the old amp to fall back on when you want that kind of sound. Yeah, you're right! And my wife put me out of my pain by adding that I would have a year to trade up to the other amp later. So I could have the Conrad-Johnson now and enjoy it, and later get the Tube Technology. Sometimes it pays to take some advice. Thanks, Bill; Thanks, Darlene.
I almost never buy a product without reading a review (negative or positive) in Stereophile. I think you have a huge moral responsibility as your readers are very faithful and a negative review could ruin a company (Sonic Frontiers went nearly belly up after less than favorable reviews of their Line Products, they seemed to be OK when their SFL products were regularly praised in Stereophile). Many people and dealers I talk to quote the "Sonic Frontiers sounds boring!" quote from your review of the Power 2. I don't place the SF downfall entirely at Stereophile's door, but just as an illustrative example of the (borderline) Orwellian influence your publication can have on people. However, I must point out that I love your rag, and it is one of the best written periodicals (never mind audio periodicals) out there.
HP of the Abso!ute Sound. He has the ears and mind to express what he hears better than anyone else... at the moment! Stereophile's writers write about what sounds good. HP is trying to write to tell us how/what makes music sound real.
I'll ask for opinions from others whom I have confidence in to get alternative points of view. Sometimes it can help narrow down potential pieces to audition. My decisions are made based on what my ears are hearing.
Everyone needs a little help. I have worked in the high-end audio industry for seven years. I know that everyone hears music differently and music tastes are personal, but it is sometimes necessary to get a little help. Who knows? Maybe someone would introduce me to a product that I really love, but would not consider before. If I only went on my personal experience, I would still be listening to a Yamaha surround-sound system instead of Krell.
I will ask around a little bit at dealers and on the Internet, as well as read a few magazines, to get started on searching out new gear. But I rely upon my own ears to decide what gear sounds best to me and what is worth the asking price.
I thought I could rely on the basic opinions of some of the writers in Stereophile. When Tom Gillet (aka Sam Tellig) was quoted in another venue that "we play whore to the advertisers" I knew I could no longer trust. After all, why can't he use his real name. Is he wanted for something really bad? As far as dealers are concerned, they will sell you what they got. Period.

SAN BERNARDINO >> About 50 candles, liquor bottles and Kit Kat bars lay at the scene of a deadly drive-by shooting Thursday, one of a trio of shootings that plagued city streets within four hours Wednesday in San Bernardino.
Words written in ink and candlewax covered the sidewalk outside Tacos Durango in the 800 block of Medical Center Drive where Enon Damon Edwards Jr., 20, collapsed after being shot. Written on a piece of cardboard were the words "Rest in Peace Bubba."
"There's too much anger in the world," said Billy Allen, 73, who has lived on the Westside off and on since the 1950s. "There's no love anymore."
Edwards died at a hospital following the shooting, the seventh victim to die in a homicide this year in San Bernardino, while 20-year-old Kiyon Drake of San Bernardino survived a gunshot wound.
Many people at the memorial site were reluctant to talk about the violence, but Allen said part of the problem is there's a sense of community-style policing that's disappeared from today's society.
"There was a time when police would get out of the patrol car, walk and get to know people," Allen said. "They don't do that anymore."
Allen feels there needs to be more police presence in violence-plagued neighborhoods.
"They've got a hell of a job to do," he added. "We need them."
Officials at San Bernardino City Unifed School District placed Alessandro Elementary School at 670 Ramona Ave. on lockdown during the police investigation of the first shooting scene.
An Arroyo Valley High School freshman who walked by the memorial site called it a sad incident, but expected for what he called a "gang area." He declined to reveal his name, fearing retaliation.
"If you get caught slippin' in the wrong turf, that could be your life," he said.
A bullet-ridden, blood-splattered car was the only thing left at the scene of the second shooting in the 2000 block of West Gilbert Street.
That's the car Jonathan Scruggs, 32, of San Bernardino, hid in to protect himself from the attack shortly before 2 p.m.
Scruggs suffered a gunshot wound to the head and two to his upper torso, police said. He was listed in critical, but stable condition.
Rio Vista Elementary School at 1451 N. California St. was placed on lockdown.
Neighbors hid in their homes fearing becoming victims as well.
One neighbor, Valentina Castaneda, 35, was inside her house and heard the shots ring out. Scruggs ran to her front door, leaving a 100-foot trail of blood in his wake. He pounded on her door, but she took refuge in her bathroom because she didn't know if the gunman was still outside.
"I feel bad because I wanted to help him," she said as tears flowed.
After living in the neighborhood for nearly two years, Castaneda said she's now fearful of going outside.
"I'm very scared, nervous," she said. "I don't even want to walk into the street because I'm scared."
There were few reminders of the violence in the San Bernardino neighborhood, where another shooting occurred around 3:30 p.m.
Chris Jones, 25, of San Bernardino was walking in the street in the 3300 block of East Love Lane when a man approached him, pulled out a handgun and fired the weapon, striking Jones several times as he tried to flee, police said.
School officials also placed Highland Pacific Elementary School at 3340 Pacific St. following the third shooting as a safety precaution.
Tim Guck, 58, who has lived on nearby La Verne Street for 35 years, said Jones collapsed in the roadway, but another man jumped a block wall and ran through his backyard. He suspects the other man was with Jones and fleeing the shooter.
Although police have not released a motive in the attack, Guck suspects it might be gang-related.
"It's random gang violence. It can happen anywhere," he said. "But it's rather shocking when it happens that close."
Mayor Carey Davis said Thursday that the gang-related fear many have — both inside the city and looking at it from outside — is troubling, but that it was inappropriate to speculate until police come to a conclusion.
"That is the impression people have, that this is a violent place, and that's not something that can be fixed overnight," Davis said. "Not just gangs but homelessness and other issues are tied together, and I support the approach our chief is taking."
Staff writer Ryan Hagen contributed to this report.

The investigators have designed a three-part quality improvement intervention to 1) improve the clinic-based measurement of blood pressure, 2) introduce a care management system to promote self-management behaviors and rapidly titrate medications by algorithms developed in accord with guidelines and 3) introduce an interactive, needs-based, longitudinal-provider education system that promotes patient-centered care and provides practical examples of patient-provider communication strategies. The intervention will occur at six clinics within the metropolitan area of Baltimore, Maryland. The investigators will also describe clinic and health system characteristics and measure their association with implementation (uptake), success (improvements in blood pressure control and reductions in racial disparities), and sustainability of the three-part intervention over 12 -24 months.

|Multi-Method Health System QI Intervention to Reduce Hypertension Disparities
Further study details as provided by Lisa Cooper, Johns Hopkins University:
Primary Outcome Measures:
- Percent of clinic patients with controlled blood pressure and the racial disparity in controlled BP at each clinic. [ Time Frame: 24 weeks ]The percent of clinic patients each week with SBP < 140 and DBP < 90, or if patient is diabetic or has CKD then SBP <130 and DBP < 80. If no BP measure, patient does not meet JNC-7 guidelines. Note: If multiple BP measures are recorded, the lowest will be used. The racial disparity is defined as the percent difference in blood pressure control between white patients and ethnic minority patients (separated into categories of African-American patients and other race patients). These outcomes will be assessed weekly for 24 weeks prior to and after roll out of each of the interventions.
Secondary Outcome Measures:
- Terminal digit preference [ Time Frame: 24 weeks ]The percent of BP measurements at each clinic that end in zero( or an even number) each week before, during, and after implementation of the BP measurement intervention. The measure will serve as an indicator of the uptake of the OMRON automated BP measurement device. It will be obtained weekly for 24 weeks prior to and after roll out of the BP measurement intervention
- Repeat BP measures [ Time Frame: 24 weeks ]the percent of patient visits at each clinic each week where a second BP measure was done. This measure will be considered an indicator of the provider's trust of the medical assistant's initial BP recording. The measures will be obtained weekly for 24 weeks prior to and after roll-out of the BP measurement intervention
- Patient enrollment in care management [ Time Frame: 24 weeks ]The percent of eligible patients who are enrolled in care management with a registered dietitian/pharmacist team. This measurement will be obtained weekly for 24 weeks before and after implementation of the care management intervention.
- Completion of care management program [ Time Frame: 24 weeks ]Among patients who enroll in care management, the percent of patients who complete 3 intervention contacts with the care management team, The measure will be obtained weekly for 24 weeks before and after implementation of the care management intervention.
- Dashboard review/communication skills training completion [ Time Frame: 12 months ]The number of dashboard reviews and communication skills training modules completed in each quarter, both divided by the number of providers in each site. This measure will be obtained quarterly for 12 months following the baseline response

Intervention Details:Detailed Description:
Behavioral: Improve clinic based measurement of blood pressure
This intervention seeks to improve BP control and reduce disparities through an organizational change and new skills development. To improve the reliability of BP measurement in clinics, new automated BP machines (Omron HEM-907XL) will be provided for each PCP. Medical assistants will be trained and certified in the proper use of the Omron machine by a master trainer. The will be trained to measure the arm circumference, choose the appropriate cuff and place it properly on the arm. They will be recertified yearly. Once activated, the Omron HEM-907XL will lead measurement for 5 minutes then perform a series of 3 BP measurements spaced by 30 seconds and present the man of these 3 measurements. The mean will be record in the electronic medical records.Behavioral: Provider education system to promote patient-centered care
The provider education intervention will address blood pressure control and disparities through audit and feedback. The intervention includes a hypertension dashboard and a linked provider-tailored education intervention. The latter aims to enhance provider communication skills during clinical encounters with hypertension patients, via teaching specific verbal behaviors with practice implications related to elicitation of hypertension treatment and adherence concerns. The dashboard is a web based tool linked to the electronic medical records that imports clinic measurements of BP and offers PCPs a quick assessment of the percentage of those achieving blood pressure control and receiving guideline-concordant care in their panel, clinic, and system overall and by patient race/ethnicity.Behavioral: Introduce care management system in clinics
The care management (CM) intervention will address blood pressure management and disparities through patient education, promotion of self-management, and the introduction of an organizational change through the addition of new team members. The CM team will contact patients with a BP of ≥140/≥90 (≥130/≥80 for patients with diabetes mellitus or chronic kidney disease) as identified through the electronic medical records for enrollment in care management services. Patients with a BP in these ranges will be referred to a CM program that emphasizes four key self-management behaviors: diet, physical activity, medication adherence, and self-monitoring. The self-management promotion program will consist of 3 one-on-one sessions either with a Pharm D. or R.D. over the course of 3 months.
Hypertension is common in the US. From efficacy and observational studies, we know that achieving blood pressure control can reduce morbidity and mortality. However, less than one-third of persons with hypertension achieve control as defined by national guidelines. Furthermore, racial disparities in hypertension have been clearly documented with African American patients being less likely than Caucasians to achieve adequate control. The objective of this study is to study the implementation of a multi-method quality improvement intervention in a pragmatic clinical trial. Six clinic sites within the Johns Hopkins Community Physicians (JHCP) healthcare system have been selected for participation in this study. The sites are located within the metropolitan ara of Baltimore, Maryland, yet differ greatly. We will define the context and local characteristics of each study site and determine which characteristics are associated with blood pressure control and racial disparity at the clinic (micro-system) and health system (macro-system)level. We will deploy a three-part quality improvement intervention to 1) improve the clinic-based measurement of blood pressure, 2) introduce a care management system to promote patients' self-management behaviors and rapidly titrate medications by algorithms developed in accord with guidelines and 3) introduce an interactive, needs-based, longitudinal-provider education system that promotes patient-centered care and provides practical examples of patient-provider communication strategies. Using statistical process control charting, we will determine the stability of blood pressure control in the system prior to intervention and after the introduction of each intervention. We will vary the order of the interventions among the six clinical sites to determine if each intervention is independently effective in each local context and if the effect is repeatable in other contextual situations within the same macro-system. In addition, we will study the organizational characteristics and features of the local context that are associated with implementation, uptake of the interventions and success of each intervention in achieving blood pressure control and reducing racial disparities in blood pressure control at the clinic level .

Did Kate Gosselin Get a Facelift?
Has Kate Gosselin gone under the knife -- again?
When the former reality star recently reported for her first day as a CouponCabin.com blogger, she revealed a new face to go with her new gig. And it's not the first time the formerly full-figured brunette has freshened up.
PHOTOS: Kate Gosselin's biggest beauty faux pas
"She's consumed with her appearance," a source says of Gosselin, 36, whose TLC reality show Kate Plus 8 was canceled in August.
VIDEO: Kate Gosselin cops to getting plastic surgery
To keep her youthful appearance, the single mom of eight -- who got a tummy tuck in 2007 and breast implants in 2009 -- relies on thrice-weekly tanning sessions. Last June, she even gave herself Botox injections! (The result: unnaturally arched eyebrows.)
PHOTOS: Kate Gosselin's meanest faces
New York City plastic surgeon Jon Turk tells the new issue of Us Weekly (on sale Monday) that based on recent photos, it looks like Gosselin's gone more extreme this time: A defined jawline and changed eye shape "suggest a facelift."
PHOTOS: Kate Gosselin's hair through the years
It's not surprising, the source tells Us: "Kate wants to look 10 years younger."

JERUSALEM (Feb. 9)
Prisoner of Conscience Roald (Alex) Zelichonok was surprised by his release from a labor camp in Kazakhstan over the weekend. "Now my problem is to leave here and make my way to Israel," he told Voice of Israel Radio by telephone from Leningrad Monday in what he said was his first conversation in Hebrew in two years.
Zelichonok,50,an electrical engineer, clandestine teacher of Hebrew and a refusenik since 1978 was one of 42 political prisoners unexpectedly freed from Soviet prisons and labor camps by decree of the Supreme Soviet. He had served half of a three-year sentence imposed in August 1985 for "defamation of the Soviet State and social system."
He said he had not known until four days ago of his impending release, and was set free within three hours after the orders came from Moscow, according to regulations. He thanked the government of Israel, the Jewish people and other friends who had helped his wife, Galina, and encouraged him.
Zelichonok touched on a controversy that has long bedeviled Soviet Jewry activists when he denounced as a "disgrace" the fact that a fellow POC, Yuri Tarnapolsky, who was released recently, preferred to immigrate to the United States instead of to Israel. "This is unbearable, this really hurts," Zelichonok said.
He said his strongest wish now is to go to Israel, but if he cannot get an exit visa he would continue to teach Hebrew in the USSR.
The Absorption Ministry, meanwhile, has prepared a master plan for the mass absorption of Soviet Jews, based on an estimated 10,000 immigrants a year. Its projected cost is $221 million. According to the Ministry, some 241,000 Jews have left the Soviet Union since 1971. Of that number, 159,000 immigrated to Israel and 82,000 went elsewhere.

Yahoo! TV has finally ended the debate over which television theme song is the one to rule them all. In a March Madness-style bracketing system, the site seeded some of the most beloved themes (everything from the "Happy Days" song to Phantom Planet's "California,") and pitted them against each other. The winner? Oh, just the little tale of a three-hour tour gone sour.
Seeded at number 12, "The Ballad of Gilligan's Isle," written by Sherwood Schwartz and George Wyle, took the top spot in Yahoo!'s voting, followed closely by the theme from "Cheers," which was seeded at number 1.
Other top contenders included the songs from:
Not included in the voting were the themes from "Growing Pains," "Full House," or "Perfect Strangers."
You can see all the results here.

From Bill Crutchfield is another recent story of Government over reach. The sad thing is that no one admitted wrong doing, accountability, or said I am sorry.
From Bill Crutchfield, and outstanding entrepenuer who grew his company from his garage:
I am providing you with a news reports about the arrest and jailing of a 20-year-old UVa student who committed the unthinkable crime of buying sparkling water at a local grocery store. This is another example of the obscene government overreach that is surely causing our founding fathers to roll over in their graves.
Bottled-water purchase leads to night in jail for UVa student
osted: Thursday, June 27, 2013 10:37 pm | Updated: 11:30 am, Fri Jul 5, 2013.
Posted on June 27, 2013
by K. Burnell Evans
When a half-dozen men and a woman in street clothes closed in on University of Virginia student Elizabeth Daly, 20, she and two roommates panicked.
That led to Daly spending a night and an afternoon in the Albemarle-Charlottesville Regional Jail. Her initial offense? Walking to her car with bottled water, cookie dough and ice cream just purchased from the Harris Teeter in the Barracks Road Shopping Center for a sorority benefit fundraiser.
A group of state Alcoholic Beverage Control agents clad in plainclothes approached her, suspecting the blue carton of LaCroix sparkling water to be a 12-pack of beer. Police say one of the agents jumped on the hood of her car. She says one drew a gun. Unsure of who they were, Daly tried to flee the darkened parking lot.
"They were showing unidentifiable badges after they approached us, but we became frightened, as they were not in anything close to a uniform," she recalled Thursday in a written […]

Yale built a 16-point lead after three quarters and withstood a furious rally by Lafayette in a wild 37-34 win yesterday in Easton, Pa.
The Elis (2-1) got 172 yards rushing and three touchdowns from Mike McLeod, but Lafayette scored three touchdowns in the fourth quarter to make a game of it.
The Elis led, 30-14, after three quarters thanks to two touchdown runs from McLeod, a 63-yard touchdown pass from Matt Polhemus to Ashley Wright, and a 28-yard run by Polhemus. Polhemus threw for 196 yards -- most of them to Wright, who finished with four catches for 151 yards.
Brad Maurer threw for 282 yards and two scores on 28-for-43 passing and added 62 rushing yards for the Leopards (2-3).
Rhode Island 28, Brown 21 -- Joe Casey ran for 140 yards and two TDs as the Rams captured the Governor's Cup at home.
Casey scored on runs of 1 and 34 yards in the first half as URI (2-2) took a 28-7 halftime lead. His 34-yard burst up the middle with 9:08 to play in the second quarter gave the Rams a 21-0 lead.
Joe DiGiacomo threw for two TDs for Brown (1-2).
Penn 17, Dartmouth 10 -- Robert Irvin passed for 227 yards and two touchdowns and Tyson Magule sparked a strong Penn defense with two interceptions as the host Quakers stopped Dartmouth.
Matt Carre had seven receptions for 87 yards for the Quakers (2-1, 1-0).
Mike Fritz threw for 255 yards and the Big Green's only touchdown with 37 seconds left as Dartmouth (0-3, 0-1) lost to Penn for the ninth straight time.
Princeton 19, Columbia 6 -- R.C. Lagomarsino ran for 98 yards and a touchdown as the Tigers defeated the Lions in New York.
Princeton (3-0, 1-0) held Columbia (2-1, 0-1) to 23 yards rushing, while Lagomarsino's 23 carries included a 4-yard run that gave the Tigers a 14-0 lead.
Cornell 23, Albany 21 -- Peter Zell's third field goal, a 33-yarder with 6:22 remaining, lifted the Big Red (1-2, 0-1) past the Great Danes (3-2, 1-0) in Ithaca, N.Y.

Edmund Thomas, a Hitlerist storm trooper, was sentenced to death to-day by the law court at Glogau for murdering a Jewish merchant named Herbert Walter. Thomas told the court that he had killed Walter because he had abused Hitler. His deed was apparently one that he had boasted about, judging by a letter from his sweetheart read out to the court, in which she began by addressing him as "my dear beloved murderer".

text: Also from the 10x12 kit, a City Sale and Exchange 16" f/8 RR, complete with 16-blade diaphragm. City Sale and Exchange 16" Rapid Rectilinear by Scott --, on Flickr The lens has been well-used. The brass is tarnished, the end dented in a few places. There's no flange. The front and back show some mottling - not fungus, not quite haze, but mottled areas. Might clean out if you disassembled the lens. I never tried to clean it, and had no issues with the lens. The iris stops down to f/64, and when fully stopped, the aperture isn't quite circular. All that said, this lens has given me some of the best photos I've ever taken: Grandpa... by Scott --, on Flickr 'Nother new lens... by Scott --, on Flickr img157 by Scott --, on Flickr These images were taken on 10x12 at portrait distance. At infinity, the lens lights up the ground glass to all corners, though I've never shot this outside for landscapes or such, despite always wanting to. Would have no problem on 8x10. And if you buy the camera, you can have the wonky lensboard that this was mounted on. More images of the lens can be found here. $275 + insured shipping, buyer pays PayPal fees. PM me with any questions. Thanks, Scott

My first encounter with SilverStripe was 3.1.3, so 3.1.4 is the first time I should upgrade. I'm a bit afraid to do it though, because of overwriting things. I did keep track of which files I changed, so I can get around it, but there's probably a way for me to do things cleaner in the future.
For example, I changed the validEmailAddress function in /framework/email/Email.php so that it also accepts Russian email addresses. Should I have done this differently? Could I have made this change in a separate module somehow (preferably in mysite)?
Currently, I'd have to either backup that Email.php and use it to overwrite the one from 3.1.4, but then I might miss out on any other updates that SilverStripe might have made in that file. Ideally, I would track every single change I made along with the linenumbers, but I'm not sure how best to track that, and it may get cumbersome if I have to redo a lot of changes every update.
.. yes, I know, I have little experience with version control :)
(I have composer installed, but have so far only installed a few modules with it)
