Twitter is making more money than everyone thought it would
By Sarah Frier
Twitter Inc.'s user base is growing at a steady pace as its second-quarter revenue topped analysts' estimates.
The microblogging company's active membership in the quarter reached 271 million, with year-over-year growth at 24 percent, compared with 25 percent in the prior period, Twitter said in a statement today. Sales more than doubled to $312.2 million, exceeding the $282.8 million analyst estimate compiled by Bloomberg.
The San Francisco-based company is maintaining its rate of attracting new members after reporting two straight quarters of decelerating user growth. The slowdown, coming so soon after Twitter's November initial public offering, stoked investor concerns that the company's fastest sales growth was behind it. Chief Executive Officer Dick Costolo responded by gutting Twitter's executive ranks, including replacing his chief financial officer and parting ways with his operating chief.
"Everyone has been so fixated on the user growth metrics," said Scott Kessler, an analyst at S&P Capital IQ. "Beyond that, their mobile-advertising network has become more important and more valuable as the months have gone on."
Shares soared more than 20 percent in extended trading, after rising 1.8 percent to $38.60 at the close. The stock, which closed at a high of $73.31 on Dec. 26, has plunged 47 percent since then on concerns that Twitter isn't growing fast enough to justify its valuation. The company is among the most expensive in technology based on projected 2014 sales.
Net Loss
The net loss widened to $144.6 million, or 24 cents a share, from $42 million a year earlier. Excluding some items, the company reported a 2 cent profit, compared with the 1 cent loss estimated by analysts polled by Bloomberg.
For the current quarter, Twitter said revenue will be $330 million to $340 million, exceeding analysts' average estimate of $323.1 million.
People viewed their Twitter timelines more often, with 173 billion views, up from 157 billion in the prior quarter.
Twitter rival Facebook Inc. also grappled with investor questions about its business shortly after its May 2012 IPO. The Menlo Park, California-based social network has since quelled the concerns by moving swiftly into mobile promotions, which now make up the majority of its ad revenue. Last week, the company's stock surged to a record after it posted a 61 percent second- quarter revenue increase and net income more than doubled.
Board Questions
Costolo has faced questions from Twitter's board about how he plans to stem user growth issues, people familiar with the discussions have said. The company this month replaced CFO Mike Gupta with former Goldman Sachs Group Inc. banker Anthony Noto, who helped take the company public. It was the fourth major change among Costolo's top lieutenants this year, after the exits of COO Ali Rowghani, head of engineering Christopher Fry and vice president of consumer products Michael Sippey.
In April, Costolo hired Google Inc. maps executive Daniel Graf as the new vice president of consumer products, followed by the May appointment of engineering chief Alexander Roetter, who was already at the company. The COO role is going unfilled.
To diversify revenue while it seeks to rev up user growth, Twitter has expanded its advertising business beyond its site so that membership issues take less of a toll on revenue. The company now distributes ads to about TK1 billion smartphones and tablets through a mobile-advertising exchange it acquired last year called MoPub Inc.
Deals Streak
This month, Twitter also agreed to pay almost $100 million to acquire TapCommerce, which targets people on mobile phones or tablets with ads for items they've expressed interest in buying around the Internet, urging them to complete the purchase. Twitter also bought CardSpring Inc., which will help shoppers secure deals for items they see in the microblogging service's ads.
Twitter is still on track to enlarge its digital advertising. The company's share of worldwide digital ad revenue is estimated to rise to 0.8 percent this year, up from 0.5 percent last year, according to EMarketer Inc. Its slice of digital mobile advertising is set to increase to 2.8 percent this year from 2.4 percent last year, according to the researcher. In total, digital ad spending is projected reach $140 billion this year, said EMarketer.

Big game
Playing the Red Sox a big deal for Northeastern player from BedfordBy JOHN HABIB
New Hampshire Union Leader
February 26. 2014 9:07PM
It may be just an annual exhibition game for most people, but playing against the defending World Series champion Boston Red Sox is a big deal to Bedford's Connor Lyons.
"Later in life, I can tell my own kids I played against the Boston Red Sox," said Lyons, the starting center fielder for Northeastern University, which plays the Red Sox today at 1:05 p.m. at JetBlue Park in Fort Myers, Fla.
A former Trinity High of Manchester star, Lyons shares outfield and co-captain duties with his older brother Connor, a redshirt senior, while another Granite Stater, Salem High School grad Josh Treff is the Huskies' starting catcher.
There will be a New Hampshire presence in the stands for the game, too, with the Lyonses' mother, grandmother and younger brother Griffin, a Trinity sophomore, all attending.
Northeastern has played the Red Sox every spring since 2004, but the exhibition never gets old, Connor Lyons said.
"When I was a freshman, I was in awe and shocked when I stepped on the same field with the Red Sox," he said. "I've been a lifelong fan. Now the shock has worn off, but it's still a big deal, especially this year because they're coming off a championship season."
Last year's game proved memorable for Lyons. He posed for a picture with slugger David Ortiz, lashed a single and later stole a base against Red Sox pitcher Daniel Bard and catcher David Ross, then found himself talking trash with All-Star second baseman Dustin Pedroia.
"It was fun, especially with Pedroia giving me the business," said Lyons. "Bard was just working on his location, and I noticed his windup was a little slower to the plate. So I took off, stole the base and looked up to see Pedroia. He started in about me snagging a base off Bard, saying he wasn't paying any attention to me. I said, "Hey man, I'll take what I can take,' and it just went back and forth from there. But it was all in fun. I respect Pedroia, and I look up to him because he's a little guy like me."
Lyons said today he'll try to seek a picture with either Grady Sizemore or A.J. Pierzynski, two newest to the Red Sox.
"They're going to help Boston this year, and it would be neat to get a photo with one of them," said Lyons. "I'm also going to see if I can track down Johnny Gomes before the game. He's another player I really like to watch play."
In six games so far this season with the Huskies, Connors is batting .231 with one RBI. His career batting average with Northeastern is .295 and he has 28 career stolen bases in 33 attempts.
Today, Lyons said, he'll be batting either fourth or fifth in the lineup against the Red Sox.
"Our first baseman, Rob Fonseca, is hurt, and I've been taking his normal place in the batting order," Lyons said. "I normally set the table, but now I'm in a role of driving in runs, which I like."
Last year, in a 3-0 loss to the Red Sox, Connor started in center field and played seven innings. Sean entered the game in right field, played four innings and had one at-bat.
"That's another moment I'll never forget: playing in the same outfield with my brother against the Red Sox," said Connor Lyons, adding with a laugh, "We lost 3-0, but it was better than the year before, when we lost 25-0 to Boston."
Lyons was looking forward to watching a recording of the game, largely to listen to Treff, who agreed to be mic'd up for the broadcast.
"I know he's going to play, and it's going to be interesting to hear what he says during the game," Lyons said. "He's a funny guy, someone who just keeps the team loose. He's a good teammate."
Junior right-handed pitcher Keegan Taylor of Greenland and Portsmouth High is a member of the Northeastern team, but still is inactive after undergoing Tommy John surgery.
"He had some complications with his surgery, but I heard he might be back in a month," said Lyons, who suffered a season-ending injury last year in Wilmington, N.C., breaking his collarbone while making an over-the-shoulder catch on the warning track.
Lyons said he's not setting any goals today against the Red Sox.
"Just going to have fun," he said. "Even if I get up three times and strike out three times, I'm still going to have a great time."

Swiss lead, Spain trail, Czechs level in Davis Cup
LONDON: Roger Federer and Stanislas Wawrinka gave Switzerland a 2-0 lead over last year's runners-up Serbia while injury-hit Spain trailed Germany by the same margin as the Davis Cup World Group first-round ties got underway on Friday.
Serbia fielded a second string team without world number two Novak Djokovic, two months after they lost to the Czech Republic in the final, and were quickly under pressure in Novi Sad.
Federer beat 268th-ranked Ilija Bozoljac in straight sets while Wawrinka, fresh from winning his maiden grand slam title at the Australian Open, eased past Dusan Lajovic in four.
Five-times champions Spain, without injured world number one Rafa Nadal and David Ferrer, got off to a poor start against Germany in Frankfurt with Davis Cup rookie Roberto Bautista Agut easily beaten by Philipp Kohlschreiber in straight sets.
They put up more of a fight in the second rubber but a gutsy effort from Feliciano Lopez was eventually repelled by Florian Mayer after five sets with the fans on the edge of their seats.
The Czechs, who retained the Davis Cup in November, were level at 1-1 with the Netherlands in Ostrava, with Radek Stepanek going down in five tough sets to Robin Haase before Tomas Berdych thrashed Igor Sijsling in straight sets.
France got off to a flier against Australia with Jo-Wilfried Tsonga beating veteran Lleyton Hewitt in straight sets after Richard Gasquet outclassed Nick Kyrgios, also in three.
Britain lead the United States 2-0, Wimbledon champion Andy Murray having beaten John Isner's replacement Donald Young in straight sets before 175th-ranked James Ward upset big-serving American Sam Querrey, ranked 49th, in five sets.
Ward came from 1-6 7-6 3-6 down to stun a partisan U.S. crowd at Petco Park in San Diego, winning 10 of the last 11 games as he sealed victory in three hours, 11 minutes.
Canada were level with Japan, Italy and Argentina were also all square and Kazakhstan were leading 2-0 at home to Belgium.
Switzerland go into Saturday's doubles with a commanding lead after Federer beat Bozoljac 6-4 7-5 6-2 in the opening singles before Wawrinka overcame Lajovic 6-4 4-6 6-1 7-6(7).
Federer recovered from 5-2 down in the second and having weathered the storm against hard-hitting Bozoljac, the former world number one raced through the third set to fire the Swiss ahead.
"The most important thing is that I won the match in straight sets after I struggled to read his serve early on and fought back in the second set," Federer told a news conference.
Wawrinka, who showed signs of fatigue after a long-haul flight from Melbourne following his win over world number one Nadal in the Australian Open final on Sunday, had to dig deep to fend off a spirited challenge from 23-year old Lajovic.
The young Serb squandered two set points in the fourth set tiebreak, after coming back from 3-0 down in the set and the breaker, but choked under pressure and blasted a relatively easy smash beyond the baseline as Wawrinka sealed the match.
"I always knew this was going to be a difficult match because I didn't really have time to prepare for it but I was determined to fight until the end in order to win the second point for my team," said Wawrinka.
"We are in a good position now but we have to stay focused and hopefully we will finish the job in Saturday's doubles."
Spain surrendered the first rubber as Bautista Agut lost 6-2 6-4 6-2 to Kohlschreiber but there was far more drama in the second singles with local favorite Mayer racing into a two-set lead before Lopez battled back to win the third 6-1.
The left-handed Spaniard then saved two match points in the fourth set before breaking the German to force a deciding set in front of a noisy 5,000 crowd at the Fraport Arena.
Mayer, ranked 29th, three places behind Lopez, squandered two more match points in the fifth before a thundering serve on the line put the hosts 2-0 up after almost four hours.
"I always wanted to win a singles rubber in the World Group," said Mayer in a courtside interview.
"I had match points, then injured my shoulder but in that fifth set with that kind of support it worked out."
Germany's highest-ranked player Tommy Haas, the world number 12, was ruled out for the singles on Friday due to a shoulder injury but was named along with Daniel Brands to face Fernando Verdasco and Marrero in the doubles on Saturday.
The Czech Republic fought back in the defense of their title to move level at 1-1 against Netherlands after Tomas Berdych beat Sijsling 6-3 6-3 6-0 in one hour 42 minutes having earned six breaks while never allowing his opponent to come close.
The Dutch had enjoyed a fine start versus the twice defending champions when Haase fought back to beat Radek Stepanek 3-6 6-4 6-7(4) 6-2 6-1 in a titanic battle.
After an evenly-balanced affair in the opening two sets the pair exchanged breaks early in the third and Haase then had to save three set points to force the tiebreak but a determined Stepanek sealed it on his fifth to send the home fans wild.
However, Haase regrouped to move 2-0 in front at the start of the fourth and, with Stepanek visibly tiring, wrapped up the match with a winning forehand to the back of the court.
France's world number nine Gasquet was made to work hard for an hour by the gifted Kyrgios but the 18-year-old Australian lacked the strength to challenge his experienced opponent on the indoor clay court in Mouilleron-le-Captif, Western France.
"I was the favorite but I think (Kyrgios) has a great future ahead of him. He's going to be a top 10 player," Gasquet told reporters after his 7-6(3) 6-2 6-2 victory.
Tsonga expected a longer fight against five-set specialist Hewitt but the world number 10 was too solid for the 32-year-old whose record on clay does not match his hard court pedigree.
Tsonga held serve throughout the match, surviving a rare scare in the fourth game of the third set by saving two break points before eventually prevailing 6-3 6-2 7-6(2).
France, who last won the trophy in 2001, have won 98 percent of their Davis Cup encounters after taking a 2-0 lead.

9 Works Under $3,000 to Collect at IFPDA
Artsy Editorial
Diptych. Edition of 15 + 2 APs
Citing influences such as utopian feminist literature, art theory, Russian Constructivism, and the Arts & Crafts movement, Mai-Thu Perret's diverse body of work encompasses sculpture, painting, video, and installation. Since 1999, Perret has worked on a series called "The Crystal Frontier," which documents her participation in a women's commune based in New Mexico. Through diary entries, abstract paintings, and artisanal objects, Perret constructs a piecemeal narrative describing life at the commune. By focusing on the fragment as a narrative device, Perret invokes the pastiche technique employed in postmodern literature and demonstrates her interest in the structure of language. Her relationship with language and narrative is epitomized in text works such as Society is a Hole (2009), in which ambiguous musings are spelled out in bright pink lettering, inviting the viewer to fill in the gaps in the implied narrative.

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. - The UC Santa Barbara softball team (21-18, 4-5) was unable to complete the sweep of Cal State Northridge (24-14, 4-5) in the final game of the Big West series with the Matadors on Wednesday, falling 4-2 at Campus Diamond.
After three scoreless innings, Northridge was able to load the bases with one out at the top of the fourth on a walk and a pair of singles. Hannah Fraijo then hit a single to center field scoring Christina Saenz and giving the Matadors a 1-0 lead. A two-RBI double from Micah Putnam stretched the Northridge advantage to three runs.
A RBI double to deep left field with two outs by Tracy Allen at the top of the fifth gave Northridge a 4-0 lead.
With one out at the bottom of the sixth, Katie McWhirter hit a double down the left field line, tallying just the second hit of the day for the Gauchos. Brooke Putich came in to pinch run and advanced to third on a wild pitch during the next at-bat. Christine Ramos hit a sac fly to center field, sending Putich home for the first Gaucho run of the game.
Jessica Ziegler followed with a walk and then advanced to second when Tiffany Wright hit a single to left field. Amanda Ziegler then loaded the bases with a single of her own, hit to third base. During the ensuing at-bat, Jessica Beristianos was hit by a pitch, sending Jessica Ziegler across home plate and cutting the deficit to 4-2.
Unfortunately, that would be the last run of the game as Northridge held on for the victory.
Amanda Pitzenberger (3-1) picked up the win in the circle for the Matadors after tossing the complete game and allowing just two earned runs on four hits. She walked one and struck out three.
Krista Cobb (14-6) took the loss. She pitched the complete game and allowed four earned runs on eight hits. She walked three and struck out two.
The Gauchos will be back in action this weekend when they head to Long Beach State for a three-game conference set. The Saturday doubleheader between the 49ers and Gauchos will be televised on ESPNU and is scheduled for a 1 p.m. start. Sunday's single game will also begin at 1 p.m.

Topic: 4-LOM vs Zam Wesell
Manufacturer Industrial Automaton
Model Unknown
Class Protocol droid (modified)
Gender Masculine programming
Sensor Color Unknown
Height 1.6 meters
bio:4-LOM was a droid bounty hunter with an insectoid head who was hired by Darth Vader to find the Millennium Falcon.
4-LOM was working as a cabin steward on a luxury liner when trouble with his programming caused him to begin to steal from the passengers. When Jabba the Hutt became aware of 4-LOM he modified the droid to make him more dangerous. While working for the Hutts, 4-LOM was teamed with the bounty hunter Zuckuss
Zam Wesell
Species Clawdite
Gender Female
Height 1.68 meters
Eye color Green
bio: Wesell was born on Zolan, a member of the changeling Clawdite race that was constantly at war with the native Zolanders, a race similar to the Clawdites but lacking their chameleon abilities. She has been know to collaborate with Jango fett and even saved his life from Komari Vosa, even though she was wounded herself. As Jango carried the wounded Wesell back to the Slave I, he explained that he had been hired by Darth Tyranus, otherwise known as former Jedi Count Dooku, to become the template for an army of clones on Kamino, and stranger still, he had asked Tyranus to give him one unaltered clone to raise as his son. Though Wesell thought the idea rather silly, she eventually had an almost maternal relationship with Jango's son, Boba Fett. Though she and Jango considered each other romantic interests, their relationship never went beyond partner, as their careers came first.
Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi used the droid to track her down and as she escaped in her personal speeder, they chased her through the skies of Coruscant, until Wesell crash-landed near the seedy Outlander Club. She hid for a few moments attempted to sneak up on Kenobi, but his Jedi reflexes allowed him to dismember her. When Skywalker pressed Wesell to reveal who had hired her, Jango was forced to silence her with a Kamino saberdart.

WHITTIER >> A Walnut man said a series of coincidences led to him being in the right place at the right time to pull an unconscious woman from the bottom of a hotel swimming pool in Whittier late Thursday.
Mike Vargas, 33, sprung into action just before 9:40 p.m. to help a young woman found at the bottom of the pool at the Radisson Hotel Whittier, 7320 Greenleaf Ave., according to officials and a witness.
The woman was "conscious and breathing" when paramedics arrived on scene, Los Angeles County Fire Department Dispatch Supervisor Cheryl Sims said. She was taken to a hospital for treatment.
Vargas said a series of unexpected events led him to briefly stop by the Radisson late Thursday.
"I completely believe that it was divine intervention," he said.
Vargas, a musician who raps under the stage name "Mikue," had just left a Pico Rivera music studio and was heading to Uptown Whittier to meet a friend when the friend canceled the meeting.
Vargas said he was thinking about stopping to see a movie when he pulled into the Radisson to use the restroom and get something to drink.
As Vargas was about to leave the hotel, he said he suddenly felt an urge to sit down on a bench and call his brother. "It was like I hit a brick wall," he said. He had been sitting for about a minute when two women entered the lobby.
The women did not speak English but frantically motioned for the clerk to follow them to the pool area, Vargas said. "I figured maybe there was a child who slipped and fell."
But when Vargas and a hotel manager reached the pool, they saw the woman who appeared to be in her late-teens or early-20s curled up and motionless at the bottom of the deep end.
"It looked like she was just resting there," he said. "There were no bubbles. No struggle. She was just lifeless down there."
"I came back to my senses and realized what was going on, and I just jumped in," Vargas said.
Vargas said the woman showed no signs of life once Vargas pulled her back onto the ground. After another bystander tried unsuccessfully to perform CPR, Vargas said he began administering chest compressions.
After four or five pumps, he said, the woman began to cough up water. "Within a minute, the police and fire departments showed up."
An update on the woman's condition was not available. Officials had no details about how she ended up at the bottom of the pool.
But Vargas said he believed he knew how it was that he came to cross paths with the woman.
"I believe God intervened. That's what my belief is."

In 1972, former Chinese Premier Zhou Enlai famously mused that it was "too early to say" if the French revolution of the 18th century had been a success. By that rationale, it would, therefore, be premature in the extreme to mull over whether the 2013 Confederations Cup will prove a seminal moment in bringing about radical socioeconomic change in Brazil. What we can say, though, even at this early juncture, is that, on the field at least, the tournament has been an unequivocal success.
As was noted beforehand, this was a most unusual Confederations Cup in that every team involved wanted to win it. However, nobody could have foreseen the way in which this much-maligned competition would capture the imagination of neutrals the world over.
Neymar, the symbol of the new Brazil, was, of course, the catalyst and chief protagonist throughout. The tournament was less than three minutes old when the Selecao No.10 opened the scoring in the host's Group A game against Japan with a stunning strike from distance. With his wonderfully quick feet (the piece of skill he produced to set up Jo's goal against Mexico was sensational), blistering pace and ferocious shooting power, he has restored belief and romance to Brazilian football in equal measure - a most welcome development for all lovers of 'The Beautiful Game'.
La Roja just could not live with Brazil's pace passion, with the home side looking like the inevitable winner from the moment the music was once again strategically stopped halfway through the national anthem, prompting a fittingly rousing demonstration of the wonderful synergy between the players and their people that might drive Brazil to World Cup glory one year from now - and maybe also dramatically reform a nation.
The locals, to their eternal credit, also got excited about the matches involving the hopelessly overmatched Tahiti. Although the OFC Nations Cup champion shipped six goals in its opening game, against Nigeria, Jonathan Tehau's towering second-half header was undeniably one of the best moments of a most entertaining tournament.
Of course, for sheer drama, nothing topped what happened in Recife on June 19. Italy can lay claim to have been involved in some of the most epic international matches of all time and added another classic to its impressive portfolio by defeating Japan 4-3 in arguably the most enjoyable match of the past decade. The Blue Samurai were a joy to behold and, objectively speaking, it was heartbreaking to see them get nothing out of a game that they had dominated for long periods. Still, sympathy quickly gave way to gratitude for the role Japan had played in a fantastically crazy encounter.
Indeed, it was hard not to feel like everyone got something out of this pulsating fortnight of football, and none more so than the neutrals. Who cannot help but be excited by the prospect of what might unfold in 12 months' time when the rest of the game's international elite arrive in Brazil for the World Cup?
By that time, hopefully the host country will be well on its way to eradicating the inequality and social unrest that have been so prevalent over the past two weeks, thus allowing everyone to focus on the football, which, if it is as exciting as it has been this summer, would generate a true carnival atmosphere that everybody involved could enjoy.

On Wednesday, Vanessa Hudgens walked the red carpet for the 'Spring Breakers' photocall at the Venice Film Festival.
Vanessa looked gorgeous in her black and white Blumarine dress, though it does seem that the 'Spring Breakers' actresses have a thing for sheer necklines and floral embellishments. To see what I mean, take a look at Selena Gomez in her Dolce & Gabbana concotion. Not that there's anything to complain about – both women looked amazing.
To complete her ensemble, Vanessa opted for a beautiful pair of Giuseppe Zanotti heels, simple silver bangles and a natural face – I particularly love the highlighted eye and apricot lip.
What do you think of Vanessa's look?

Nokia has released a dedicated camera app for its Lumia smartphones, bringing several new features to its Windows Phone range beyond beyond those that come with the phone's camera app.
Creative Studio
- Platform
- Windows Phone 7
- Price
- Free (but available only for Nokia users)
- Where
- Marketplace
Bringing the Lumia up to speed with the HTC Titan and Radar offerings already available, the Creative Studio app, which is free, can be quickly downloaded and ready to roll with little effort.
Once you load it you are presented with the opportunity to edit an image you've already taken, to take a new picture, or to take a panoramic shot that automatically merges four shots into one.
The addition of a Panorama mode is welcomed. Up until now, although HTC Windows Phone owners have had Panorama mode built into the camera for some time, Nokia Windows Phone users have had to use third-party paid-for apps like Pano to create the same effect.
The new app, which works separately from the camera, lets users save the created image and share it via Twitter, Facebook, or Flickr.
A quick play in London on our Nokia Lumia 800 and the results are great, with the camera automatically lining up the next shot. All you have to do is move the phone. We did find however that doing a vertical panoramic shot - where you take four shots vertically rather than horizontally - is a lot trickier because the app seems to work in connection with the accelerometer to get the best results.
But it isn't just about taking panoramic shots. You can add special effects to your photos too, and Nokia offers plenty of options here.
On the after-effects side of things you can add dreamy, freaky, back to '76, summer evening, flawless skin, auto enhance, silkscreen, watercolour, cartoon and sketch, with the app changing the image accordingly.
Applying effects is easy and you get a slider to let you see how the effect alters the picture before committing to it.
Live effects include sketch, night vision, dreamy, cartoon, colour and silkscreen.
If that all sounds too "photographer" and you want something a little more fun, the app has that too - allowing you to apply silly face warp effects to your mates as if you were in the Hall of Mirrors at the fairground.
Here you get mega mouth, pinocchio, super chin, dweeb, alien and twister. All will make you look stupid, all are great fun to catch people with to blackmail people later.
As for adjustments you get crop, rotate, contrast, sharpness, colour, exposure, and colour boost.
Simple and effective, it's a shame that Nokia hasn't been able to "bake" this new features into the camera app, but then we suspect that will come when Microsoft launch Windows Phone 8. Until then, if you are a Nokia user, this will make your photos a lot more fun.

Man was armed with 30.06 rifle with scope and told deputies he "was on a journey"
Kern County Sheriff's deputies arrested a man armed with a high-powered rifle Friday in the hills south of Taft Heights.
It started just before noon when residents called to report an armed man in the fields south of Garfield Street.
They were able to follow tracks and sighted the man a distance away at the top of a ridge line above a ravine west of 25 Hills Road.
The suspect, identified as a 22-year-old Michael Dale Hawks., was arrested without incident.
Deputies were armed with assault weapons as they went after the suspect.
"It was potentially very dangerous," Senior Deputy Kevin George said.
Deputies had to climb steep hills to reach the suspect.
"He could have had us in his sights," George said.
The gun was not loaded when deputies reached him, but ammunition was laying nearby, deputies said.
Deputies took the man to the Taft substation for questioning and processing and will book him into jail on charges of trespassing and being a felon in possession of a firearm and ammunition.
Senior Deputy Kevin George said the man told deputies he was a convicted felon.
George said he will also be evaluated to see if drugs or a mental condition played a role in his actions.
"That's a possibility," George said.
When asked why the man was carrying the 30.06 rifle equipped with a scope and a backpack, George said the man told deputies "he was on a journey."

Rose, Salmons, Hunter miss Sunday Bulls practice
K.C. Johnson
This is getting repetitive.
The Bulls keep saying Derrick Rose's bum right ankle is improving and yet Rose keeps missing day after day after day.
Sunday marked the latest example as Rose missed the team's open practice at the United Center. John Salmons and Lindsey Hunter also didn't participate. Salmons stayed with his wife, who gave birth to their baby daughter on Friday. And Hunter remained ill.
Derrick Rose stands alone while his teammates practice. (Tribune / Brian Cassella)
The Bulls play their next-to-last preseason game Monday at the United Center against the Orlando Magic.
"I thought I was going to go, but I'm still waiting," Rose said. "I ran. It's getting better every day. I'm happy I'm seeing some progress. Hopefully, I'll be playing in a couple days."
The open scrimmage for fans featured coach Vinny Del Negro getting miked throughout. Del Negro said the experience didn't affect his coaching process at all.
"I'm Italian; I'm going to speak my mind," he said. "We have to wear those mikes a lot in the games. So I'm used to it."
Indeed, NBA coaches started wearing microphones for nationally-televised games last season.
Joakim Noah revealed a hilarious story from his rookie season, shortly after James Johnson and Taj Gibson strolled down the hallway wearing their pink backpacks. Asked how bad the rookie hazing became for him, Noah said he actually lashed out the other way.
Noah said he and fellow rookie Aaron Gray once poured water on center Ben Wallace as he received a massage. Noah added that Wallace retaliated by taking Gray's car from the Berto Center parking lot, parking it at the nearby Residence Inn hotel and hiding the keys.
"I was a rebel rook," Noah said, laughing.

Tryggvi Gunnarsson, ombudsman for Alþingi, the Icelandic parliament, sent a letter to Minister of the Interior Hanna Birna Kristjánsdóttir yesterday to request all available information about her communication with former Chief of Police in Reykjavík Stefán Eiríksson regarding the police's investigation of a leak of confidential information about an asylum seeker from her ministry.
The letter states that Tryggvi decided to approach Hanna after discussing the matter with Stefán and State Prosecutor Sigríður Friðjónsdóttir following a story published in DV newspaper on Tuesday, which maintained that Hanna had tried to influence the police's investigation of the leak, ruv.is reports.
Furthermore, DV reported that Stefán had decided to resign from his position because of Hanna's repeated interference with the police's investigation of the affair and that she had for that purpose called him to a meeting in the ministry.
Both Hanna and Stefán have denied the story as reported in DV. Hanna said in a statement that she and everyone working at her ministry had cooperated fully with the police and that she had neither tried to influence the investigation nor pressured Stefán into resigning.
Minister of Finance Bjarni Benediktsson, who chairs the Independence Party, of which Hanna is vice-chair, would not comment on the issue.
Hanna has until August 15 to respond to Tryggvi's letter.

Something's gone horribly wrong economically in this country, so highly regarded across the globe for its spirit of enterprise and golden opportunity. And while it's true that from the greatest challenges arise the greatest opportunities, it is also true that things are getting objectively worse for already struggling communities, who for generations have known unemployment and poverty as norms.
Still, even though fewer Americans than ever before are likely to achieve the promise of upward mobility for themselves or their kids, Americas cling to the mythology of meritocracy—or, as comic provocateur George Carlin once quipped, an American Dream that one needs to be asleep to believe in. Entrepreneurship is the most celebrated version of that dream.
"From our first days as a nation, we have put our faith in free markets and free enterprise as the engine of America's wealth and prosperity," Obama declared as the opening premise of his deficit-reduction plan in April. "More than citizens of any other country, we are rugged individualists, a self-reliant people."
If you work hard enough, have a good enough idea and a positive attitude, you have the recipe for success—or so the narrative of American wealth goes.
It's simply not true.

video frame buffering failed too many times
does anyone else has some experience with the new mythtv?
Quotedoes anyone else has some experience with the new mythtv?Save yourself the painwait for beta2 Tim
Thanks for the input, guys.But how they say:"no pain, no gain". Actually it turns out to be much more painless than I initially thought. When the first beta of 8.10 came out, the avenard repo had a pre-release of mythtv .22. In the meantime it has been officially released and I believe the Devs here had also put a lot of effort into things.When I did the upgrade I expected to see a lot of errormessages about the mythconverg database, but there was nothing of the sort. Considering my previous experience with this, it went rather smoothly. The only reason why I asked about the abovementioned problem is, that I forgot the problem I had with the previous mythtv .21I went back here: http://forum.linuxmce.org/index.php?topic=8971.0 tried it and it works!So right now I can say, that if you upgrade, then you might have to recompile v4l and you might have to drop mythconverg, applying the workaround and mythtv .22 works.

NEW YORK (AP) — Alicia Keys recently chopped off most of her hair, and the singer is looking to go even shorter.
The R&B superstar debuted her bob hairdo this summer. In a recent interview, Keys said she wants to go "even shorter."
When asked if she would shave her head, the 31-year-old replied: "I'm thinking about something like that. I'm telling you. I'm going there. I'm doing it."
The Grammy-winning Keys arrived on the music scene in 2001 with braids, and she has mostly worn her hair long. She says with her new cut, she's able to do more with her hair.
If she shaves her head, she'll follow a list of celebrities including Natalie Portman, India.Arie, Chrisette Michelle and Kellie Pickler.

Burrard Inlet, Vancouver (Canadian Tourism Commission photo)
Frommer's travel guide called BC one of the "World's Great Sailing Regions" (2009).
Cruises in British Columbia have more than 27,000km/16,780mi of coastline, thousands of lakes and many mostly uninhabited islands to explore.
Popular cruising areas include the Inside Passage, Great Bear Rainforest, Queen Charlotte Islands/Haida Gwaii, Desolation Sound and the Gulf Islands. Choose from a wide selection of cruise operators, five of which were even recommended by Frommer's travel guide and/or National Geographic Adventure magazine.
On a BC cruise, discover granite cliffs with plunging waterfalls, sail through temperate rainforests, and float in quiet fjords and inlets with protected sanctuaries that are home to abundant wildlife.
Cruises range from multi-day trips and single day excursions to harbour and dinner cruises, with some operators offering rentals (for experienced skippers) or private charters with custom itineraries. Cruise companies may depart from several different ports and usually carry 10-15 guests.
Travelling the coast? BC Ferries offer cruise-like experiences while servicing 47 destinations, and some Alaskan cruises make ports of call at Vancouver, Victoria, Nanaimo and Prince Rupert.

When it comes to meat, turkey is a really healthy choice. Since it is naturally low in fat it can be used as a sensible and delicious substitute for beef and chicken in many recipes. All our birds are reared in houses that benefit from natural light in the day, restful darkness at night and good ventilation throughout.
essential Waitrose turkeys
These birds are reared in Lincolnshire, Yorkshire and Southern Ireland, in light, windowed houses and airy barns with natural ventilation and straw bales. These bales can be broken apart, keeping the turkeys occupied in much the same way as our essentials chickens. When dusk falls the turkeys get plenty of darkness, allowing them to enjoy a proper rest through the night. Temperature and humidity are constantly monitored when the birds are younger, to ensure they remain comfortable at all times.
Put simply the better we look after our birds, the tastier the meat that they eventually produce. Our essential turkey combines excellent animal welfare with great value and delicious flavour.
Our award winning free range birds are reared in small flocks and enjoy access to open pastures as well as food, water and shelter. As such they can come and go as they please, though most choose to spend most of their time outdoors - especially at dawn and dusk.
The birds range freely across their paddocks, eating insects and pecking the trees and hedgerows before returning to their houses at night or to feed and drink. Fallen trees or specially built structures keep the birds active and occupied as they climb and perch.

Bronze-feathered free range turkeys
Bronze-feathered turkeys are a slower-growing breed, which means they tend to boast full-flavoured meat with a wonderfully firm texture. These birds are fed a natural, cereal-based diet and have access to open pastures. This means they can come and go as they please, just like our other free range birds.
All of our standard bronze-feathered turkeys are reared in either Lincolnshire, Yorkshire, East Anglia, Southern Ireland or Essex.
Dry-aged bronze-feathered free range turkeys
Bred from the oldest of traditional breeds, these bronze-feathered free range turkeys are reared in East Anglia and Essex using traditional farming methods. The bird is grown to full maturity over several months and fed on a cereal based diet. Experts will then hang it for a minimum of seven days The result is a full-flavoured turkey with a hearty, gamey flavour.

Duchy Organic free range bronze-feathered turkeys
Duchy Originals from Waitrose includes a wide range of delicious products that are produced while helping to preserve British food heritage. As such Duchy organic free range bronze-feathered turkeys are reared to exceptionally high standards. These turkeys are reared on organic farms in East Anglia and the hills of Donegal in Ireland, where they're
fed an organic diet and have free access to either organic pastures or woodland during the day. All the farms are independently inspected by Organic Farmers & Growers or by the Irish Organic Trust, ensuring high standards are maintained.
Quality and welfare are the prime considerations for our turkeys and indeed for all our livestock, so we work very closely with all our farmers, visiting each of them personally. Additionally our turkey farms are registered with the Turkey Federation Quality Assurance scheme.
They audit farms independently to ensure high standards of animal welfare and food safety are maintained. Our concern for welfare extends right through the rearing and transport to the eventual processing.

Hitachi Announces its 18V Professional Lithium Ion Tool Platform
Hitachi Power Tools today announced the launch of its new series of Lithium Ion battery powered tools. The series is designed with a slide-type Lithium Ion battery pack that eliminates the post design traditionally inserted into the tools handle. The new slide type battery tools feature a more ergonomic handle for increased comfort and control with all the benefits of Lithium Ion battery power. The tools in this series were designed with the professional in mind, and are compatible with Hitachi's popular compact pro and brushless cordless tool battery systems for even more value across the line.
New Drills and Drivers:
½" Driver Drill (DS18DSDL) – Also available without batteries (DS18DSDLP4)
½" Hammer Drill (DV18DSDL) – Also available without batteries (DV18DSDLP4)
¼" Impact Driver (WH18DSDL) – Also available without batteries (WH18DSDLP4)
½" Impact Wrench (WR18DSDL) – Also available without batteries (WR18DSDLP4)
Featuring aluminum gear cases for maximum durability and strength against heat buildup, the DSDL series of drills and drivers are designed with industrial grade 2-piece motors that deliver professional grade power designed to handle the toughest jobs. Convenient LED lighting is incorporated for visibility in dark or enclosed work spaces. Metal belt hooks keep the tools close at hand. Externally accessible carbon brushes allow for minimal downtime and easy maintenance. The tools are comfortable to use for extended periods thanks to the soft, ergonomic grips and slim handle designs. They come with two 3.0Ah Lithium Ion slide type batteries and Lifetime Lithium Ion tool warranties, 2-year Lithium Ion battery warranties and 1-year Lithium Ion charger warranties.
The ½" Driver Drill (DS18DSDL) produces up to 814 in-lbs of torque and weighs only 4.6 lbs. It is equipped with a single sleeve ratcheting all-metal keyless ½" chuck for maximum bit grip and easy bit changes. At the base of the chuck is the 22-position clutch with drill mode so the torque can be properly matched to the application. The two-speed gearing operates at a low speed of 0-350 RPM (ideal for driving fasteners) and in high speed at 0-1,600 RPM (ideal for drilling applications). A convenient side handle is included for 360° leverage when needed.
The ½" Hammer Drill (DV18DSDL) produces up to 814 in-lbs of torque and weighs only 4.8 lbs. It is equipped with a single sleeve ratcheting all-metal keyless ½" chuck for easy bit changes that includes carbide inserts for maximum bit grip when hammering into concrete materials. At the base of the chuck is the 22-position clutch with both a drill mode and hammer mode so the torque can be properly matched to the application. The two-speed gearing operates at a low speed of 0-400 RPM (ideal for driving fasteners) and in high speed at 0-1,800 RPM or 0-27,000 IPM (ideal for drilling applications). A convenient side handle is included for 360° leverage when needed.
The 1/4" Impact Driver (WH18DSDL) produces up to 1510 in-lbs of torque and weighs only 3.7 lbs. It is equipped with a ¼" hex quick change chuck for fast and easy bit replacements. A two-step power switch alternates between full and power saving modes, which is ideal for doing repetitive jobs that don't require full output. It also allows users to work faster by preventing full throttle when quickly moving from work piece to work piece when the applications don't call for it. The impact driver delivers a no-load speed of 0-2,600 RPM and an impact rate between 0-3,200 BPM.
The 1/2" Impact Wrench (WR18DSDL) produces up to 188 ft-lbs of torque and weighs only 3.7 lbs. It is equipped with a 1/2" square drive for fast and easy socket replacements. A two-step power switch alternates between full and power saving modes, which is ideal for doing repetitive jobs that don't require full output. It also allows users to work faster by preventing full throttle when quickly moving from work piece to work piece when the applications don't call for it. The impact driver delivers a no-load speed of 0-2,600 RPM and an impact rate between 0-3,200 BPM.
Additional New Tools:
4-1/2" Angle Grinder (G18DSLP4) –Available without batteries only
SDS Plus Rotary Hammer (DH18DSLP4) – Available without batteries only
Hand Vacuum (R18DSLP4) – Available without batteries only
The 4-½" Angle Grinder (G18DSLP4) features a powerful motor that provides the speed and torque to produce more work per charge. It can be used to cut rebar or pipe, groove stone or concrete, or grind metal and masonry when a corded tool is not an option. The small diameter grip is covered in soft elastomer for a slip resistant hold that reduces fatigue. An over current protection circuit shuts down the Lithium Ion battery power in the event of overload, reducing the risk of causing permanent motor damage. Zero voltage safety reset prevents accidental start up when inserting a charged battery for added safety.

Analysing Cubism explores the early decades of Cubism and features the work of such celebrated Cubist artists as Albert Gleizes, Evie Hone and Mainie Jellett. The exhibition focuses especially on the Continental milieu in which Hone, Jellett and other Irish artists worked in the 1920s and 30s, learning from and contributing to the development of European Modernism.Analysing Cubism takes its title from the early years of the movement, sometimes referred to as Analytical Cubism. However, the exhibition extends its scope to the end of the Second World War, a watershed in modern art when the focus shifted from Paris to New York. It looks at the work of a number of pioneering Irish artists who travelled to France and further afield to study modern art. The exhibition seeks to place these artists in context, examining the influence of their teachers, as well as exploring the work of some of the leading international exponents of Cubism. The exhibition focuses on the Irish artists May Guinness, Jack Hanlon, Evie Hone, Mainie Jellett, Norah McGuinness and Mary Swanzy, and on their English counterparts Paul Egestorff and Elizabeth Rivers. It also includes work by European painters such as Georges Braque, Albert Gleizes, Juan Gris, Henri Hayden, André Lhote and Pablo Picasso. The largest concentration of work in the exhibition is by Gleizes, Hone, Lhote and Jellett in recognition of the extensive influence that these artists had on modern Irish abstract painting.
The exhibition will tour to the Crawford Art Gallery, Cork, from 20 June to 1 September and to the F.E. McWilliam Gallery and Studio, Banbridge, Co. Down, from 13 September to 30 November. The exhibition is organised by the Crawford Art Gallery in partnership with IMMA. The exhibition includes major loans from the National Gallery of Ireland.
A fully-illustrated catalogue, published by IMMA, accompanies the exhibition, with texts by Peter Brooke, painter and author of Albert Gleizes, For and Against the Twentieth Century, published by Yale University Press; Dr Riann Coulter, art historian and Curator of the F.E. McWilliam Gallery and Studio; Dickon Hall, author of books on Nevill Johnson and Colin Middleton; Dr Roisin Kennedy, lecture Art History Department, University College Dublin; and curator of the exhibition Seán Kissane.

As the temperature drops you don't need to make the choice between keeping warm and looking stylish. In fact, to achieve any kind of confident look staying warm is essential, as the shivering look is definitely not in fashion. There are plenty of ways to stay warm while looking great, but if you don't know where to start these tips …
Reiss "The Great Tailoring Movement" lookbook shows off A/W 2012 suit trends
The nights are pulling in, our tops are getting thicker; Autumn is now in full swing. Reiss are the latest brand to reveal their Autumn/Winter collection, showing off their late-season suits under the heading "The Great Tailoring Movement". Taking its cues from the continued retro-renaissance, Reiss are getting in early on The Great Gatsby style-shift that's sure to follow Baz Luhrmann's …
A|X Armani Exchange Autumn 2011 collection & DJ residency
There is definitely something debonair about the A|X Armani Exchange Autumn 2011 collection. A mix of blazers, plaid shirts, vests and jackets with elbow patches it looks like they've taken inspiration from the British gentry.
Esemplare Autumn/Winter 2011 Collection
The rain is back and although I hope this is not it for Summer, I can't help but be a bit excited for cooler days, drinks in country pubs next to roaring fires…. and of course knitwear.

Pendleton and Nike Team Up To Create The Big Jim Jacket
I absolutely love this winter jacket. Made using dense Pendleton virgin wool, the material blocks icy chills while its "deconstructed" style means it layers well and is still lightweight enough for running around the city. The piece is a part of the "Triple Black" collaboration between Pendleton and Nike's outdoor division ACG. The jacket has a really modern feel and …
Man with a mean stripe: Patrik Ervell
Patrik Ervell's SS09 collection is looking very right now. The Swedish-born, NYC-based designer has a way with stripes. This summer I'm still planning to wear the super-slim, tailored shorts in a vintage, broad striped fabric I bought in New York last year. Though pricey, Mr Ervell's pieces definitely feel like an investment.
Silas Winter Lookbook
A while ago when Silas pulled out of the UK I was pretty gutted because at the time they were my favorite brand due to the fact that their T-Shirts fit so damn well, the actual design of the T's were less important to me but to be fair these were just as great. Silas has returned to the UK (though the brand still concentrates on its much larger following in Japan) and has grown up a wee bit with some smarter pieces to their range such as the awesome knitwear and coats featured in this winter 08 lookbook put together by Unbar.
WISHLIST: Alexander McQueen Photo-Print Blazer Down To £258 from £865!
While potentially worrying and probably not at all a good sign, Andy Warhol's 'Death Scenes' have always interested me. His principle was that by repeating the same image of a man impaled on a lamp-post (that's just one of the prints,) death became strangely banal. This blazer might not be all blood 'n' guts (which with McQueen's history is rather surprising,) but it is undeniably interesting. With city scenes and a fitted shape, this jacket could be worn at work, in the park, at a party and even to a music festival. I like that Matches put it with jeans for a modern edge and if I could afford the £258 price tag, I would go for a crisp white shirt and an Alber Elbaz-style floppy bow-tie. In faded, purple velvet. *Sigh*
Gar-De Leather Jackets
With people like the Apprentice's recently fired Kevin Shaw showing how leather jackets can look bad, it's becoming more important to get a tailored jacket regardless of what material it's made from. Gar-De are a New York design collective who aim to 'reinvent the highest quality materials into innovative designs'. They chose leather for their debut collection and focused exclusively on it.
YSL jacket at Browns
This jacket is a perfect piece for the season transition that so often leaves us men looking like idiots when we get caught in the mid-month sunshine wearing a winter coat, scarf, jeans and a pair of flip-flops.

Today Tommaso De Benetti shares his experiences of online publishing with us: "For reasons mostly unknown, me and the French never got along very well. It's history, it's soccer, it's Carla Bruni cowardly changing her citizenship: I cannot say."
Recently, however, I found a reason to love appreciate them once more: Ulule.
As US based comptetior Kickstarter, Ulule's idea is to help people fund their projects, being them short movies, music records, or, in my case a digital magazine.
Players, that's the name, is – simply put – the magazine me and the rest of the editorial team wanted to read. Incidentally, an Italian magazine like that just didn't exist, so putting it together was a no-brainer. Players speaks about media: movies, music, books, games, web. More specifically, the idea is to select stuff we find amusing and offer it to our audience. If we review something bad (and we do), it's probably because it's just spectacularly bad.
Before launching we were torn about the business model to adopt. We wanted to make it visually beautiful, and written with quality in mind. All this requires a lot of work: we didn't want to make money out of it, but at least we wanted not to lose money in the process. How to get something back when people are used to have everything for free on the web? Luckily enough, most of the collaborators had other projects or initiatives going on: some are renown journalists, some are running podcasts, others made their name on forums where users were overlapping our target audience. We then decided to see if we could inspire trust in at least a core group of followers and get them to support us with some expenses. The bet was won: we reached (and surpassed) our goals in both the fundraising campaign we set up on Ulule (see Campaign 1 and 2).
In our model supporters get special rewards, the most important of which is preview access to the new issues of Players. All the others get the magazine for free, but 15 days later.
All nice and good then? Not quite.
First of all: Ulule protects the identity of supporters slightly too well. Despite the instructions in the FAQ and reminders everywhere, most of them forgot to leave their data in the form. Since you do not even get their emails before the project is fully founded, we faced the problem of understanding who is who before granting preview permissions for the new issues of Players.
Secondly: the project does not get funded and there is no exchange of money if the goal is not reached within the deadline. It does make sense (if you need 5000€ for a movie and you collect 1000€, most likely you have to change your plan), except that the deadline has to be agreed with Ulule's team. Don't get me wrong: they are extremely kind, but I have the feeling they do not completely understand how hard is to get Italians to pay for anything. As a matter of fact, we reached our goals just in time in both cases, and we had to help it a bit.
Third and most important reason for malcontent: a project like ours need a fundraising without a deadline (we are selling subscriptions, in a way), and crowdfunding platforms are simply not flexible enough for that (yet).
So, as much as I am amazed that we collected more than 1100€ in just two months from voluntary donations, we will try something different from now on. What we found out so far is that freemium models can work even for small projects, if people trust you and the product is exciting enough. Justhow long we can keep new supporters coming, that's a story you will read here in a few months.
Tommaso De Benetti is a young and dynamic lover of media and communications living in Helsinki. Spending most of his time discussing the industries of games and music, he runs Writing Bold, a freelance copywriting service about technology. He's also a regular employee at Microtask, one of the leading companies in the field of crowdsourcing and distributed work.

Suffolk, ss. Division of Administrative Law of Appeals
Eduardo Carballo,
v. Docket No. CR-06-220
Teachers' Retirement System,
Appearance for Petitioner:
Michael J. Long, Esq.
175 Derby St, Unit 17
Hingham, MA 02043
Appearance for Respondent:
Robert G. Fabino, Esq.
Teachers' Retirement System
One Charles Park
Cambridge, MA 02142
Administrative Magistrate:
Kimberly A. Fletcher, Esq.
Eduardo Carballo is appealing the March 31, 2006 decision of the Teachers' Retirement System, denying his request to participate in "RetirementPlus" (Ex. 1). He appealed timely under the provisions of G.L. c. 32 § 16(4) (Ex. 2). I heard the appeal on October 30, 2007 at the offices of the Division of Administrative Law Appeals, 98 North Washington Street, Boston.
There are nine documents in evidence (Exs. 1 - 9). I marked the pre-hearing memorandum of the Teachers' Retirement System as "A" for identification and a "job description for website posting" for a position with the University of Massachusetts Lowell as a Director of College Prep Program done in August 2000 as "B" for identification. Mr. Carballo testified; there is one tape of the hearing.
The parties submitted post-hearing briefs. I added the Respondent's brief to "A" and I marked the Petitioner's brief as "C" for identification.
Findings of Fact
1. Mr. Carballo became an active member of the Teachers' retirement system on January 25, 1996 (Ex. 6).
2. On June 19, 2001, Mr. Carballo elected into the alternative superannuation retirement benefit program known as RetirementPlus (Ex. 7).
3. Mr. Carballo worked as an Educational Specialist with the Massachusetts Department of Education from June 1974 through November 1989 and was a member of the State retirement system during that period of time (Exs. 6, 7, 8 and testimony).
4. Mr. Carballo worked as Director of the College Prep Program at the University of Massachusetts ("UMass") Lowell from December 1989 through August 1996 and was a member of the State retirement system based on that service (Ex. 6 and testimony).
5. In 1989, Mr. Carballo was hired as the Director by a panel that consisted of Lawrence Public School employees; UMass Lowell officials, including Dr. Judith Boccia, the Director of Field Studies; and a few parents (testimony).
6. The College Prep Program was a grant-funded program for Lawrence high school students that was operated by UMass Lowell in conjunction with Lawrence public schools (testimony).
7. The College Prep Program was developed to address the high drop out rate in the Lawrence Public Schools. All students who participated in the program had to be enrolled in Lawrence Public Schools in grades 9 - 12 at a Lawrence Public School facility (testimony).
8. The College Prep Program offered academic subjects including: algebra, calculus, geography, and science. It was focused on under-performing students (testimony).
9. All teachers in the College Prep Program were certified teachers (testimony).
10. Mr. Carballo's duties as the Director of the College Prep Program were almost identical to those of a public school principal (testimony).
11. Mr. Carballo's duties as the Director of the College Prep Program included developing a budget, hiring and evaluating staff, handling student discipline issues, organizing lunch programs, organizing transportation, and developing the curriculum (testimony).
12. Students who graduated from the College Prep Program could apply and attend the college program of their choice (testimony).
13. UMass Lowell issued Mr. Carballo's paychecks (testimony).
14. On August 15, 1997, the State Board of Retirement transferred Mr. Carballo's deductions to the Teachers' Retirement System. The total transfer represented twenty-two years, two months, and one day of creditable service (Ex. 5).
15. On March 31, 2006, the Teachers' Retirement System denied Mr. Carballo's request to purchase creditable service with the State Board of Retirement for his work from June 30, 1974 through August 31, 1996 (Ex. 1).
16. Mr. Carballo filed a timely appeal (Ex. 2).
Conclusion and Order
The decision of the Teachers' Retirement system denying Mr. Carballo's request to include his employment at the College Prep Program as service as a "teacher" for the purposes of G.L. c. 32, § 5(4)(ii) is affirmed.
Section 5(4)(ii) reads, in pertinent part: "Such member shall have served for not less than 20 years as a teacher in order to be eligible to receive the benefit provided under this subdivision."
"Teacher" is defined in G.L. c. 32, § 1 as "any person who is employed by one or more school committees or boards of trustees or by any combination of such committees and boards…"
Mr. Carballo was not employed by a school committee or a board of trustees. He was hired by a panel consisting of employees of the Lawrence Public Schools, UMass Lowell officials, and a few parents. He was paid by UMass Lowell. He has not met his burden of proving that he was employed by a school committee or a board of trustees. The fact that his paychecks were issued by UMass Lowell that is governed by a board of trustees is immaterial.
Based on the foregoing, the decision of the Teachers' Retirement System denying Mr. Carballo's request to include his years as Director of the College Prep Program in computing the requisite 20 years as a teacher for RetirementPlus is affirmed.

RALEIGH – Protesters are set to gather for the 12th Moral Monday in Raleigh to rally for voter rights. 101 people were arrested last week, bringing the running total to more than 800 since the peaceful demonstrations began in late April. Though the arrest totals fluctuate from week to week, the number of protest attendees continues to grow.
Movement leader and NAACP State Chapter President Reverend William Barber says Republican lawmakers are purposefully passing legislation to make it harder for people to vote.
Senate Republicans unveiled a new voter ID bill last week that would limit the forms of photo identification accepted at the polls. The new measure would require voters to show one of seven types of photo identification issued by the government, such as driver's licenses, passports, non-driver IDs and military or veteran cards. It's more restrictive than the House version as it would eliminate cards from UNC system colleges, state community colleges, local governments, private employers and law enforcement agencies as acceptable forms of photo identification.
If passed, it would take full effect in the 2016 elections. However, the House isn't expected to agree to the changes. This will likely cause last-minute debate as lawmakers hope to adjourn session by the end of next week.
Moral Monday meets at 5 p.m. on the lawn of Halifax Mall.
