A Happy Room for Baby
Name: Baby Boy
Location: Larkspur, CA
I wanted to create a nursery for my little boy (due late 2012) that made me happy whenever I walked into the room, so I chose items that made me smile - the expressions on the French pull-toys, the swinging animals on the mobile, the prints from Etsy.
I started with a gray and yellow room, the aqua color evolved as I began to decorate. Happy room = happy baby! (fingers crossed) And yes.. my dog thinks this is his new room...

On-loan Napoli goalkeeper Pepe Reina had agreed a deal to join Barcelona this summer before the move collapsed, according to the player's father.
The Spain international, who began his career in Catalunya and made his senior debut for the club in 2000, was heavily linked with a return to Camp Nou during the summer before he moved to the Partenopei from Liverpool on a season-long deal.
Miguel Reina has now revealed his son had agreed terms to return to the Blaugrana earlier this year, but the move was ultimately scuppered when Victor Valdes - who is set to leave the club - opted to stay for another season.
"A few months ago Pepe was in talks with Barcelona. They had an agreement and he was all set to go," he told Minuto 116.
"But in the end Victor Valdes did not leave. That's why the transfer fell through."
Barca have been linked with a host of goalkeepers since Valdes made clear his desire to join a new club, with Borussia Monchengladbach's Marc-Andre ter Stegen, Celtic's Fraser Forster and Manchester United shot-stopper David de Gea among those linked with a possible switch to Camp Nou.

This is the saddest thing I have read about and watched in a long long time, maybe ever, she is not a criminal, nor did she commit any crimes. But what happened to her was criminal.
update 21/01/14, at a recent request via the family, please support the following campaign and excellent website to stob the bullying that leads to our precious innocent kids ending their own lives.
Olivia Penpraze attempted suicide for the final time last week. But she had been dying on the inside for a long time. I urge you all, as parents, teachers and other significant adults with children in your care, to sit down and watch this video she made only weeks before attempting suicide for the final time. I am a dad with 3 kids, and have maybe shed a tear once in ten years, but I'm proud to say I shed more than a few watching this girls pain in her video…Her parents have allowed the video to stay online, in the hope in can help us all.
Mostly I imagine, to stop another precious child killing themselves after being bullied. Maybe if a bully or potential bully sat down with an adult with some compassion, and watched this all the way through, the impact may have such a lasting effect on them, that they will make the choice never to bully anyone again, not stand by and watch somebody they know bully others, whether it is online, in person, through notes and snide comments and the like. Watch the VIDEO and read the article below, where the devastated grieving parents share their heartache.
ONLY after Olivia Penpraze's death did her parents discover what was really happening online.
On Tuesday, the 19-year-old from Rowville, who was left brain dead after a suicide attempt, drew her last breath before her parents Warren and Kellie Penpraze turned off her life support.
Her grieving father logged on to her laptop to send out the sad message to her friends the best way he knew how – Facebook.
That's when he stumbled across his daughter's online suicide diary. For two years, the petite teen had been chronicling her depression on blogging site Tumblr.
More than 900 pages of posts and photographs revealed her daily heart-wrenching emotional descent. In video posts she talked about being bullied and the desire to not hate herself any more.
In February, she wrote how nice it was to not think about killing herself on her 19th birthday.
Hundreds of photos show the things that made her happy such as kittens, flowers and going to the school formal. Other images were much darker.
Despite disturbing posts, Olivia still offered a shoulder to cry on for online followers who also suffered depression. In one video she announced the date she would attempt suicide, May 1, but she couldn't wait that long.
The site shocked her father, but what hurt most were not Olivia's words, it was the people who posted comments urging her to die.
He said: "I can't understand how someone could sit there and egg someone on to kill themselves. They are pretty damn gutless people."
Even after Mr Penpraze posted on Olivia's blog explaining what had happened, there were sick replies.
"They said if she was dead why weren't you spending time with your family. They didn't believe she was dead," Mr Penpraze said.
"She does have friends … who wanted to know what happened but all the hatred-type ones come from people who … post as anonymous."
The comments became so bad Mr Penpraze disabled the blog and is urging the online community to warn friends and family when they know something is wrong.
"We are finding out now there are kids on her Facebook who actually know her on the Tumblr account. Why are they not getting in touch?" he said.
"If she says she is going to do something on this date they could have told us. Even if it was a false alarm, we could have done something."
Since her death, hundreds of tributes have been posted.
The devastated family, including brother Alex, 16, will farewell Olivia on Wednesday in Malvern.
May she and the family find peace

In Hood River, applications are being taken at the Oregon Department of Human Services, 1610 Ninth Court on the Heights off of Pacific Avenue, on Friday, Dec. 6, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Saturday, Dec. 7, 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Approximately 500 families (2,000 men, women and children) were registered in 2012 and were provided with food and toy assistance.
This year, the Hood River County Fairgrounds has again offered its facilities for distribution of the Christmas baskets to the families. Registered families will need to come to the Community Building this year, on Dec. 20 and 21, from 1-6 p.m. to pick up their baskets. Baskets for seniors and people with disabilities will be delivered to their residences Saturday, Dec. 21.

Families wishing to apply will need to bring proof of income and residency. Eligible children in the family must be living at home.

An Ocala man was arrested on charges of sexual battery and false imprisonment after being accused of molesting a woman and preventing her from leaving a residence.
OCALA – An Ocala man was arrested late Monday on charges of sexual battery and false imprisonment after being accused of molesting a woman and preventing her from leaving a residence.
The victim, 31, told Marion County Sheriff's Office Inspector Mike Mongeluzzo that around 2 a.m. Monday, her boyfriend, Donald Gould, 26, entered their home, woke her up and made some accusations.
She said Gould molested her and she bit him on his right cheek. She said he grabbed her by her neck, pushed her into a wall and molested her again. She ran out the front door, but Gould caught her, grabbed her by the throat and face, and dragged her back into the home, where he threw her onto the couch and poked her in the eye, according to reports.
The woman said while they were on the couch, she bit Gould on his right arm and when he moved away, she went into a bedroom. She said he followed, yelling and bothering her, so she had sex with him so he would stop.
She told the inspector she couldn't call 911 because Gould had taken her cellphone.
A few hours later, the woman left the home and contacted deputies. She also applied for a restraining order against Gould.
Mongeluzzo noted in his report that the victim's eye was black and blue, and that broken blood vessels were visible.
Gould was taken into custody by a deputy not long after the woman's report was made.
Gould later told Mongeluzzo the woman jumped him and bit him on the cheek and right arm. He said when he attempted to push her away, his finger went into her eye. He admitted having sex with her and said he knew the reason she did so was to make him stop bothering her.
Gould was arrested and taken to the Marion County Jail.
Court records show he has been charged with several domestic violence and battery offenses, most of which were dropped, transferred to a different court or ended with pretrial diversion.
Contact Austin L. Miller at 867-4118 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

== Features of the Solid Network Manager ==
This tutorial assumes that you have read Introduction to Solid and are familiar with the Solid hardware framework. If you want to use any backends other than the fake backends provided in kdelibs, you will need to compile and install kdebase.
The Solid Network Manager provides many useful features that have, up until now, been missing from KDE. These include:
Note that there is a difference between the devices and the interfaces. The device is a representation of the device itself and all the things that normally are associated with a PCI/USB device such as: bus address, IRQ, etc. The interface is the name of the device e.g. 'eth0' which is used for commands like 'ifconfig.'
Our first program is going to be the most common use of the network manager, checking the network status of the system. This will be useful for programs like KMail which will be able to see if the computer has network connectivity. It would then be able to judge whether or not it should check for mail.
//get a reference to the network manager
Solid::NetworkManager &netmanager = Solid::NetworkManager::self();
//test to see if networking is enabled on the system if(netmanager.isNetworkingEnabled() ) {
kDebug() << "Networking is enabled. Feel free to go online!" << endl;
} else {
kDebug() << "Network not available." << endl;
As of 28DEC2006 there are no signals that report a change in the network status so polling is required.
It is no longer required for the user to figure out which device corresponds to a given interface as the NetworkManager has the ability to cross-reference a device to its interface name. This can be done with the following code:
//get a reference to the device manager
Solid::DeviceManager &manager = Solid::DeviceManager::self();
//get a network device Solid::DeviceList netlist = manager.findDevicesFromQuery(Solid::Capability::NetworkHw, QString());
//check to see if no network devices were found if(netlist.empty() ) {
kDebug() << "No network devices found!" << endl;
Solid::Device device = netlist[0]; Solid::NetworkHw *netdev = device.as<Solid::NetworkHw>(); //keep the program from crashing in the event that there's a bug in solid if(!netdev) {
kDebug() << "Device could not be converted. There is a bug." << endl; return 0;
kDebug() << "The iface of " << device.udi() << " is " << netdev->ifaceName() << endl;

Being the closest big U.S. city to the rich fishing waters of Alaska, the seafood in Seattle is exceptional. Salmon, halibut, and king crab are just a few of the delicious species that make their way from the bountiful north Pacific into the kitchens of the city's fine dining establishments. The shores of Washington yield some of the country's finest oysters and Washington state's productive farms provide high quality red and white meats, along with fresh organic produce.
Dining in Seattle is an incredibly rewarding culinary experience. From original and locally-sourced seafood spots like Matt's on the Market in Downtown and the Walrus and Carpenter in Ballard to the Pacific Northwest-inspired Art of the Table in Wallingford, there are a plethora of praiseworthy fine dining establishments throughout town. The city also excels at cuisine from further afield, with the soul food from Kingfish on Capitol Hill and Ethiopian at Chef Cafe in the Central District. It's also hard to beat some of the city's comfort food, like sandwiches from Paseo in Fremont or pho from the multitude of Vietnamese food purveyors in the city.
Whether it's choice Copper River salmon in an elegant waterfront restaurant or a hot dog with cream cheese and spicy peppers from a street vendor, eating in Seattle is an epicurean delight. The Seattle food scene is incredibly diverse and a lot of fun to explore. It is possible to locate almost any type of ethnic cuisine somewhere in town. It is also possible to find delicious eats from street-level all the way up to the best tablecloth and candlelight establishments. Seattle might not have the food reputation of New York or New Orleans, but that suits Seattleites just fine.

PARK CITY, Utah (Reuters) - While some athletes danced around Russia's anti-gay legislation on Monday American skiing great Bode Miller met the issue head on by calling next year's Sochi Winter Olympic hosts "ignorant."
Speaking at the United States Olympic Committee (USOC) media summit, the outspoken Miller was very clear on his view of a controversial Russian law which bans the spread of homosexual propaganda among minors.
"It is absolutely embarrassing that there are countries and people who are that intolerant, that ignorant, said Miller, who will be bidding for a place on his fifth U.S. Olympic team.
"But it's not the first time we've been dealing with human rights issues since there were humans."
Critics say the law bars all gay rights rallies and could be used to prosecute anyone voicing support for homosexuals while supporters say it will help protect children.
Earlier, six members of the U.S. figure skating team were also asked their thoughts on the law that has drawn worldwide condemnation and cast a shadow over the buildup to the February 7-23 Winter Games.
All of the figure skaters, with the exception of U.S. women's champion Ashley Wagner, danced around the delicate issue saying they were only athletes and leaving it up to the USOC and International Olympic Committee (IOC) to establish a position.
Miller, however, has seldom let anyone else speak for him and has never shied away from controversy during a skiing career that has made him one of the sport's most popular and successful athletes.
The five-time Olympic medallist, who once broke away from the U.S. ski federation to form his own team, also had a shot for the USOC and the IOC for not standing up for the values of tolerance and openness they preach in their charters.
"I think it's crappy that we don't have a better system dealing with that stuff," said Miller. "Asking an athlete to go somewhere and compete and be a representative of a philosophy and all the crap that goes along with it and then tell them they can't express their views or say what they believe I think is pretty hypocritical.
"If they let me make the rules I will switch it for you immediately, I can solve a lot of stuff really quickly but unfortunately no one has elected me or given me that kind of power.
"My main emotion when I hear about stuff like that is embarrassment. As a human being I think it is embarrassing."

The conviction of Liberia's former president, Charles Taylor, should send a clear message that the era of impunity for heads of state guilty of war crimes and crimes against humanity is over, said Professor Rosa Brooks of Georgetown University Law Center. On April 26 Taylor became the first African head of state convicted by an international tribunal for such offenses.
The verdict should be especially of interest, said Brooks, to current leaders such as Omar al-Bashir of Sudan, who is already under indictment, and others, like Bashar al-Assad of Syria, who may be facing prosecution in the future. "Bashir should be paying close attention to this, and he should be worried," said Brooks.
"It's good to see [Taylor] brought to justice," Brooks added. "He played an enormous role in perpetuating the conflict in Sierra Leone and Liberia. It was a particularly brutal conflict with atrocities, mutilation, use of coerced child soldiers, rape, you name it." She added, "It's quite clear that the conflict would not haven been as brutal or sustained had it not been for Taylor's willingness to supply weapons" to rebel forces in Sierra Leone. Taylor accepted what came to be known as "blood diamonds" in exchange for his support of Sierra Leone's Revolutionary United Front.
Taylor, 64, was convicted on all charges—five counts of crimes against humanity and six counts of war crimes—for aiding and abetting such offenses as murder, rape, conscripting child soldiers and sexual slavery during intertwined wars in Liberia and Sierra Leone. Taylor, who was president of Liberia from 1997 to 2003, supported and directed R.U.F. rebels in the 11-year civil war in neighboring Sierra Leone that killed more than 50,000 people. His sentence will be handed down on May 30.
Joe Turay, the head of Caritas Makeni, in Sierra Leone, said Taylor's conviction "is only part of the process."
"We mustn't forget the plight of the survivors of this horrific war who are still suffering: the orphans, the amputees, the displaced and the thousands who are still living with the mental trauma of the horror of the war," he said. "They are all in need of investment to support them to rebuild their shattered lives."
Brooks said Taylor's conviction was significant in a number of ways. The tribunal's decision, she said, "sends the message [that] the age in which you could say, 'I have immunity because I was acting as a head of state' is over." State leaders will no longer be allowed to flee into exile or relinquish office without being held responsible for their crimes. According to Brooks, the deterrent value of that precedent is worth the short-term dilemma it may create. Because of the Taylor decision, the international community will have one less carrot to offer when dealing with contemporary perpetrators of crimes against humanity. In the long run, however, said Brooks, "You want to have a system where current and future heads of state will think twice before they commit crimes against humanity."
The verdict was also important, said Brooks, because it demonstrated the effectiveness of the "hybrid court" in the Hague. Taylor was convicted by the U.N.-sponsored Special Tribunal for Sierra Leone, jointly composed of jurists from the international community as well as from Sierra Leone itself. The use of such a mixed tribunal, said Brooks, allows the victims of war crimes to take an active role in bringing perpetrators to justice and has a secondary effect of improving judicial capacity in the victimized state.

Japanese cops have announced they have filed charges of promoting drug dealing against Hiroyuki, the infamous founder of Japan's megaboard 2ch.net.
Police have announced they have filed charges of promoting the sale of narcotics against 36-year-old 2ch founder and former administrator Hiroyuki Nishimura.
The charges relate to a series of 2ch posts made in 2011 which police allege led to the sale of illegal drugs. Police say the board failed to delete the posts as they requested, and is therefore guilty of promoting their sale.
Whether merely failing to delete a handful of drug-related posts from the millions on 2ch at any time constitutes abetting the sale of illegal drugs looks likely to be the subject of a protracted trial or swiftly dropped charges, as it seems police would already have arrested him if they considered their chances of securing a conviction through evidence or "confession" good.
Hiroyuki himself has long since given up being directly involved in the board's administration (he instead directs an opaque array of Internet companies), but is widely reputed to continue pulling its strings – and is most probably the end recipient of bulk of the considerable revenues the site generates.
The administrators of 2ch are notorious for ignoring takedown requests and legal threats, although they do comply with at least some requests and police seem to have effected any number of arrests based on posts made to the board.
Despite this reluctance to comply with legal requests, Hiroyuki has however in recent years taken to using claims of copyright infringement to close down 2ch-based sites he disapproves of, and appears to enjoy plenty of legal counsel.
On 2ch itself there is no small suspicion that the police are hounding Hiroyuki for his refusal to put moderation of the board in the hands of Japan's notoriously incorruptible and tech-savvy cops:
"Serves him right!"
"They finally got him…"
"What? All this because he left the drugs board alone?"
"Poor Hiroyuki. And despite our cops being totally useless…"
"Since when does failing to delete a few online scribbles constitute abetting?"
"Funny that they didn't arrest any of the celebrities being paid to promote fraudulent auctions on their blogs of late."
"If they can arrest him for this, they can do mobile phone carriers and ISPs as well… it's messed up."
"This is extreme. I bet they end up dropping the charges."
"They don't lift a finger to stop most online crimes, and now this?"
"You might as well arrest the police for failing to impede the drug smugglers."
"Really suspect – you'd think the entire admin staff would be arrested, but they just go after him?"
"The cops basically just want to take out 2ch."
"Same as with Horiemon. They want to make an example of those who defy the authorities."
"Our cops just love trying to make examples of people who don't obey them in all respects, don't they? The same reasoning would have them arresting the leaders of half the infrastructure companies in the country, but they don't for some reason."
"Next up, Japanese police arrest the creators of Twitter."
"It's about time they held this guy to account, he obviously runs 2ch."

SAN DIEGO — The sexual harassment lawsuit that was at the center of the scandal that drove ex-Mayor Bob Filner from office has been settled out of court for $250,000, city officials announced Monday.
The deal settles all claims, including for attorney fees and damages, by Filner's onetime director of communications, City Atty. Jan Goldsmith said at a news conference.
The lawsuit, filed in July by attorney Gloria Allred on behalf of Irene McCormack Jackson, represented the first time a woman publicly accused Filner of harassment. Previous allegations had been made anonymously.

TEXOMA -- SPARK is a company that uses research and field-testing to improve physical education in schools nationwide such as Ben E. Franklin Elementary in Wichita Falls. Now, Texoma schools interested in an upgraded P.E. program have a chance to win it. For this Mom's Everyday Health segment, SPARK's Executive Director Paul Rosengard explains the how's and why's of this special competition.
"September is National Childhood Obesity Month and we're excited about that," said Rosengard. "We want to promote it so our partners got together with us to support physical activity and healthy eating in schools. And we came up with the idea of having this contest."
Rosengard adds that the childhood obesity issue and a lack of Physical Education funding in schools has inspired SPARK to sponsor the "Healthy School Makeover Contest" for schools K-12.
The goal of the contest, which runs now through October 31st is to spotlight how both the physical and mental wellness in students can be improved with better physical education and less junk food in kids diets...a statement Texas Health WNJ Clinical Dietician Kelly Hughes agrees with.
"It's a lot of empty calories," Hughes said about junk food. "It doesn't have a lot of benefit to them. It's usually high in sodium, high in sugar, high in saturated fat so it can really affect an individual's weight gain."
Schools, teams or individuals can enter a school in the healthy school makeover contest with a short video on why they need a "healthy school makeover" and how they'll commit to improving the students' healthy living. Videos will be posted online at http://bit.ly/HealthySchoolContest so the public can vote for the finalists and a winner will be chosen from a panel of judges. The prize is $45,000 worth of resources to help create that healthy school environment including curriculum for the teachers and training and equipment for the kids.
SPARK Executive Director Paul Rosengard says, "We really want to create a more inclusive environment and the new physical education does exactly that. So students are doing the same thing with the same piece of equipment all at the same time but rather instruction is differentiated. And with differentiated instruction, everybody can be successful and become more confident."
Visit www.healthyschoolmakeover.com for rules to submit your video before October 31st. Once the winning video is chosen, Hall of Fame golfer Annika Sorenstam will present the grand prize.
To find more information about the contest, you can also search SPARK Programs on Facebook. For more information on SPARK, visit http://www.sparkpe.org, email firstname.lastname@example.com or call 1-800-SPARK-PE. And for more information on School Specialty or their other partners, visit www.schoolspecialty.com.

If you're working on your 2012 tax return, you probably aren't in the mood to consider changes that await you next year.
If you're working on your 2012 tax return, you probably aren't in the mood to consider changes that await you next year.
Nonetheless, the Internal Revenue Service wants to hear from you now about something it's going to implement this year that could affect the return you file in 2014.
The agency recently announced a streamlined option for claiming a home office deduction. You have a chance to comment on this new option and your suggestions could help improve the change for tax year 2014 and later, the IRS says. The deadline for comment is, yes, April 15.
The IRS says that almost 3.4 million taxpayers claimed deductions for business use of a home in 2010, the most recent year for which data are available. But many people eligible for the deduction might not be doing so because it's too complicated to work out, according to the National Association for the Self-Employed.
A study by the association found that 42 percent of the organization's members who qualify for the deduction don't take it.
"They don't take the deduction because they fear if they take it and make a mistake, it will trigger an IRS audit," said Kristie Arslan, president and chief executive of the association.
Currently, if you qualify for the home office deduction, you have to fill out a 43-line form that requires calculations of allocated expenses, depreciation and carry-overs of unused deductions. Makes my head hurt just to think of it.
Sixty percent of the association members said if there were an option to take a standard home office deduction rather than itemizing, they would take it.
Under the new option, taxpayers can fill out a simpler form, but the deduction is capped at $1,500 per year based on $5 a square foot for up to 300 square feet.
The home office deduction is available for homeowners and renters. Arslan said if the space you dedicate qualifies, then all of the costs associated with maintaining that part of your home - mortgage interest, insurance, utilities, repairs, and depreciation - would be deductible. What's not changing is the requirement that a home office be used regularly and exclusively for business. And the key here is "regular and exclusive."
It's the exclusive part that can get folks in trouble. You have to dedicate a specific area of your home to conduct your business or trade or to meet with clients or customers.
To find out what qualifies as a deductible business expense, go to www.irs.gov. Then search for "Deducting Business Expenses" and scroll down to the section on "Business Use of Your Home." The deduction can be limited based on the income of your business or if your business is losing money. All this makes my head hurt even more. Thankfully, there's a short video on YouTube that also explains how to qualify for the deduction. Search for "home office deduction."
Contact Michelle Singletary, a personal finance columnist at The Washington Post, at firstname.lastname@example.com.
I have a personal interest in this change, since I have a dedicated space in my home for business work and I qualify for the deduction.
If you want to comment on the simplified home deduction option, you can email email@example.com. Put "Revenue Procedure 2013-13" in the subject line. Or you can mail your comments to the Internal Revenue Service, CC:PA:LPD:PR (Rev. Proc. 2013-13), Room 5203, P.O. Box 7604, Ben Franklin Station, Washington, DC 20044.
After reviewing historical home office deduction information, the IRS came up with the $1,500 figure, believing it would offer small businesses a practical alternative to the current, more complex calculation, a spokesman said. Arslan of the National Association for the Self-Employed said the group has endorsed the $1,500 as a trade-off for a less cumbersome process. "I think a lot of business owners would consider the standard deduction, considering what they would save in time or the money they would spend to hire someone to help them get the deduction," she said. Makes sense to me.

When it comes to Microsoft network service applications, like SharePoint, a pretty package and simple interface mask the complexity of what the software is really doing. Many SQL Server DBAs have been challenged and confounded by their responsibilities to SharePoint databases that seem to magically appear overnight. This article will take some of the sting out of administering SharePoint content databases in a SQL Server instance. First we'll take a quick peek at the schema of the mysterious Windows SharePoint Services (WSS) content database and identify some objects ripe for querying. Then we'll explore specific T-SQL queries that can be used to garner useful details about a SharePoint environment. Finally, we'll take a look at the potential dangers of altering the content database via SQL Server.
It's important to note that everything you're about to read goes against Microsoft best practices, and for good reason. Messing around with SharePoint databases directly in SQL Server can cause stability and security problems in SharePoint, as well as prevent successful troubleshooting and support when you need it from Microsoft. Carefully consider these risks before employing any of the outlined procedures in a production SharePoint environment. Remember, it's all fun and games until something (the server) gets hurt.
SharePoint's Content Database Schema
Of all the SharePoint databases in a WSS 3.0 or Microsoft Office SharePoint Server (MOSS) 2007 farm, the content database is by far the most volatile. In fact, the content database sees so much action its default recovery model (Full) makes its transaction log file a prime suspect when it comes to storage depletion. You would think a database that's so popular among routine SharePoint transactions would have a wealth of documentation written about it. However, that's not the case. In fact, because Microsoft recommends all interaction with SharePoint databases be conducted either through the SharePoint GUI or via programming against the SharePoint object model, there's little explanation of the content database's structure.
Identifying SharePoint's content databases in a SQL Server instance is fairly easy if the default database name of WSS_Content(\{GUID\}) was generated by SharePoint Central Administration. However, administrators can also create custom names for content databases, so you might need to peek inside a database to determine if it is, in fact, a SharePoint content database. So let's break things down a bit by starting with some user-defined tables that can be found in a SharePoint content database. Each table serves a particular purpose and several of them would seem to be related, yet few referential integrity connections exist. For example, the three most important tables concerning document libraries all have primary keys and indexes but no foreign key relationships with one another (see Figure 1).
Suffice it to say that the WSS content database doesn't use normalization to its advantage, which makes writing direct T-SQL queries into it a distinct challenge. Furthermore, most of the row data values are identification numbers (some object GUIDs, others internally generated), and although the columns containing these numbers make excellent reference choices for JOIN statements, the numbers themselves aren't easily recognizable to users.
So how do you determine which tables hold the information you need to get out of SharePoint? Relying on table names isn't the best method because some of the names are misleading. For instance, the AllDocVersions table appears to contain different versions of documents held in a library that has versioning enabled. However, the actual documents are binary large objects of the image data type held in the AllDocStreams table's Content column with a reference to the version ID number from the AllDocVersions table that corresponds to the current version of the document. Talk about confusing! Table 1 outlines some of the more useful tables in SharePoint's content database that might be ripe for querying.
It would seem from Table 1 that SharePoint fails to follow a tried and true Microsoft best practice in SQL Server: Composite primary keys should be created sparingly and only when absolutely necessary. This SQL Server best practice stems from the theory that composite primary keys lengthen the key values of the corresponding index, resulting in less efficient query optimization and disk utilization. However, since it would be inadvisable to alter the table structure of SharePoint's content database, we'll just have to assume the SharePoint product team had their reasons for violating SQL Server best practices and leave the indexes as they lay. Furthermore, the tables listed with an asterisk next to their name in Table 1 have dependent View objects of the same name without the "All" prefix. For example, the Docs view retrieves rows from the AllDocs table. These views retrieve the entire column set of all rows not marked for deletion. So querying the view instead of the underlying table would retrieve a smaller result set but you could be missing desired rows during a salvage operation. These views support the relational data integrity of rows marked for deletion while also making it possible to recover previously deleted items such as by using the Recycle Bin.
None of the table objects listed in Table 1 contain any foreign key constraints, and as you can see from the Primary Key columns, almost all of them contain duplicate data. The content database is highly denormalized, a condition that enhances OLAP processing. Performance indicators will show more efficiency during read operations than during write operations. Furthermore, the dependencies of these tables list a bevy of stored procedures and functions that SharePoint employs for error control and row manipulation. Any direct queries into these tables should be written so as to eliminate duplicate or unrelated row data in the result set.
Querying the Content Database
Now that we've seen a few tables that contain useful information about our SharePoint environment, let's take a look at writing T-SQL queries directly into them. Keep in mind that the same results could be obtained programmatically by writing .NET code against the SharePoint object model, but for SharePoint administrators or SQL Server DBAs a new Query window in SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) is sometimes quicker than tasking the developers in IT with a new project. Here are a just a few common scenarios that can be easily resolved by simple T-SQL queries.
Determining Which Site Template Was Used
In an existing SharePoint environment, it can often be difficult to determine which site templates were used to generate the sites, especially if administrators have customized the pages or added and deleted lists, libraries, and Web Parts. A quick query to the Webs table of the content database will reveal template and configuration information that can be translated by reading the appropriate XML file contained in SharePoint's "12 hive" (i.e., \%SystemDrive%\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\12 of the SharePoint server). This information will reveal the templates used for every site in the database. Although SharePoint's default behavior is to generate a separate content database for each web application, it's possible to span a single web application across multiple content databases or combine multiple web applications into a single content database. The following query reveals template information for all sites in the content database, regardless of web application assignment:
SELECT Title, WebTemplate, ProvisionConfig FROM \[dbo\].\[Webs\]
To determine the template of a particular site, use a WHERE clause to filter the site by Title, Description, or Site ID number, as the following command shows:
WHERE Title = SiteA
The Web Template ID number and Provision Configuration ID number returned by the query might not be recognizable at first. The more friendly text name of the template can be garnered from one of the web configuration XML files located in the 12 hive on the SharePoint server. For example, WSS 3.0 site templates are listed in the webtemp.xml file, while many of the MOSS 2007 templates are defined in the webtempsps.xml file. With some experience, you'll be able to identify the template by its ID and Configuration Option numbers and not need to read these XML files.
Collecting Column Definitions
Imagine a scenario in which you suspect various lists have columns that are too generous with their storage size and you need to quickly determine the construction of all columns from a particular list, library, or gallery to prove it. Visiting the properties of each column individually in the GUI is too time consuming, and writing code might be too complex. However, simply querying the AllLists table in the content database can reveal column information about any and all lists throughout your SharePoint environment. The AllLists table contains a row for each list, library, and gallery throughout the logical portion of SharePoint that uses the given content database. Of the many columns in this table, the tp_fields column (ntext data type) contains detailed information about all of the columns in that row's particular list, library, or gallery. You can use the following code to query the tp_fields column:
SELECT tp_fields FROM \[dbo\].\[AllLists\]
Figure 2 shows the output from this command laid out like an XML file, with a separate tag for each column divulging details such as column type, whether a value is required, size limit, and default assignment.
However, finding the column of interest can be a bit difficult if the same column name is used in more than one list. It's best, if possible, to isolate this query to a particular list, library, or gallery by using a WHERE clause to avoid misinformation. Also keep in mind that although the values in the tp_fields column look like XML, they are actually ntext strings, so if you need to extrapolate only one column's worth of information you'll need an expression such as substring().
Gathering Security Information
It might be valuable to know who is accessing the databases you support. Although SharePoint maintains its own security architecture, from an audit and logging perspective, it would be nice to quickly see the security principals and permission assignments SharePoint is using to grant access to the content database. For example, say you just want a quick and dirty list of all users who have access to the sites in SharePoint—not individual permission levels or anything, just a list of names. Executing the query
SELECT dbo.Webs.FullUrl, dbo.Webs.Title, dbo.UserInfo.tp_ID, dbo.UserInfo.tp_Title FROM dbo.UserInfo JOIN dbo.Webs ON dbo.UserInfo.tp_SiteID = dbo.Webs.SiteId
returns results similar to those shown in Figure 3.
There are many more queries that will retrieve information directly from SQL Server about your SharePoint environment. Once you become familiar with the tables from the content database listed in Table 1, you'll find all kinds of new ways to decipher the myriad of ID numbers throughout the rows to join descriptive titles from other tables and produce recognizable result sets.
A Word of Warning
The T-SQL statements we've looked at so far have all been relatively harmless.

The Case for Black With a Capital Bmore
Elma Lewis - 1975
Elma Lewis (1921-2004) is consiered my many to be a cultural icon. She created the Elma Lewis School of Fine Arts in 1950, the first of its kind in Boston for children and young adults of color. Ms. Lewis expanded the vision of the school in 1968 when she created the National Center of Afro American Artists (NCAAA).

Ten years before Woodstock, the festival of all music festivals had a humble start off the coast of Rhode Island. The goal was to celebrate the folk sounds that tell the stories of America, and over the years it became known as the historic Newport Folk Festival, a platform for icons like Bob Dylan, Johnny Cash and Janis Joplin to the masses.
More than five decades later, it's traveling to the West Coast.
Way Over Yonder, the California incarnation of the Newport Folk Festival presented by the same producers, is making its Los Angeles debut at the Santa Monica Pier on Oct. 5-6.
"The Newport Folk Festival is America's festival. It's the grand daddy of festivals and was the first one. The word festival wouldn't be used in the lexicon if it wasn't for the Newport Folk Festival," said Newport Folk producer Jay Sweet. "Now we want to bring that experience to California."
The idea came to Sweet after being approached year after year by fans to expand the Newport Folk Festival. The annual festival has been hosted at Fort Adams State Park, which has been regarded as a national treasure.
"Then 'sea to shining sea' jumped into my head," Sweet said. "We figured if we were going to go anywhere, it would have to be somewhere just as iconic. So when the opportunity came to have it on the historic Santa Monica Pier it just made perfect sense. If we were invited to come to some normal venue in L.A. it wouldn't have happened."
The two-day beachside festival features performances by Coner Oberst, best known as the frontman for Bright Eyes; singer/songwriter Neko Case; the Swedish folk duo, First Aid Kit; California folk star Brett Dennen and more.
"Newport is a world-renowned folk festival that brings acts from all over the place, but for Way Over Yonder we really had California in mind," Sweet said. "Brett lives in Venice down the street, Coner has a place in L.A., Aaron Embry and Neal Casal have more the California folk styling. So there there's a little splash of California in this festival, a festival that has deep roots on the other side of the country, that we think will really fit the venue."
In a time where "mega festivals" are all the rage, Dennen said he is excited to bring that folksy vibe Newport is known for to Los Angeles. The Northern California native, who splits his time between his mountain home and Venice beach house, performed at the Newport Folk Festival in 2009.
"I think we're lucky to be the freshman class of Way Over The Yonder," Dennen said of the inaugural lineup. "Nowadays, when people hear the word 'festival' they just think of the mega festivals like Bonnaroo and Coachella (Music & Arts Festival), Outside Lands and ACL (Austin City Limits), which are all fun and amazing — it's definitely where the party's at — but a lot of people don't remember that before those festivals, there were a lot smaller ones like Newport.
"This one started out as a folk festival where Bob Dylan and Joan Baez got their breaks, so this is a big deal to plenty of artists playing Way Over Yonder who want to start that same kind of legacy."
Dennen plans to perform new songs off his latest album, "Smoke and Mirrors," which is set to release Oct. 22.
"I put together this new band and we've been rehearsing and playing little shows here and there, but this is our first L.A. show," Dennen said. "The sound is a step back to some of my earlier albums and is more centered around acoustic guitar. It's very much about going back to my folk beginnings."
And much like Dennen bringing it back to his folksy roots, he hopes festival-goers will find that their love of the music made popular now by The Lumineers, Mumford & Sons, The Head and the Heart had its start with Newport.
"There's this trend in pop culture of this whole Southwestern shabby chic meets Western Americana … a lot of artists are dipping into that '70s country rock folk sound, and I think it's important for fans to known where that legacy comes from," Dennen said. "There is a legacy that Newport is helping carry on to the West Coast and if people want to get to that purity of it all, this is where it'll be at."

A. Ag. 349-350, the end of Clytaemestra's speech:
τὸ δ᾽ εὖ κρατοίη μὴ διχορρόπως ἰδεῖν·
πολλῶν γὰρ ἐσθλῶν τήν ὄνησιν εἱλόμην.
"But may the good prevail, unequivocally, for all to see! I choose to enjoy that, in preference to many other blessings." (Sommerstein, Loeb translation)
Problem 1)
Raeburn-Thomas (R-T) translates 349 similarly "But may the good prevail, not ambivalently in appereance."; Page likewise "Let the good prevail, in no doubtful fashion, (for men) to see."
I don't understand how ἰδεῖν can get this passive meaning, with τὸ δ᾽ εὖ being the subject, as it if were ἰδέσθαι.
Problem 2)
350 has two possible meanings, and scholars are divided. The one above is considered far-fetched by R-T, and they prefer "For many are the blessings of which I have chosen the enjoyment for myself".
About Loeb's interpretation (i.e. "I would rather have this than anything else"), Page says that "this interpretation absolutely requires τήνδ' for τήν." However, the Loeb text has τήν and they translate the text like this nevertheless.
Is this discrepance just be a mistake from Sommerstein/Loeb, or what is their reasoning? Could it be he considers τήν here a "Homeric" demostrative, as if it were ταύτην?

SEA Pledge Coastal Road Tour Update
The SEA Pledge team has reached the northern-most and deepest part of their coastal road show; Sodwana Bay!
While travelling along coastal South Africa to launch SEA Pledge and spread the word about COP 17, the SEA Pledge team was lucky enough to dive with the team of Adventure Mania along the beautiful Two Mile Reef, part of a World Heritage Site. The diversity of Sodwana's rich marine life served as a reminder of why SEA Pledge is so important and why the rest of South Africa needs to join together on December 3rd to tell the world why our coasts and oceans are so valuable to us.
This afternoon at 15h00, Dr. AJ Ribbink and the team presented to the local people and businesses of Sodwana at the Sodwana Bay Lodge Conference centre. Divers, surfers, sailors and more were encouraged to make December 3rd a day devoted to the things they love most; enjoying South Africa's oceans while helping others develop a love and respect for the marine environment.
From Sodwana Bay the SEA Pledge team will be heading back to Durban for an event at 19h00 on Wednesday, 26 October at the Durban Undersea Club. This will be the last stop in KwaZulu-Natal before moving on in the Honda hybrids to the Garden Route and Western Cape. Follow us on Facebook and Twitter to find out more details about the tour.

TORONTO (AP) — Canada's former ambassador to Iran, who protected Americans at great personal risk during the Iran hostage crisis of 1979, said Friday if "Argo" wins the Oscar for best picture there would be something wrong with director Ben Affleck if he didn't mention Canada.
Ken Taylor said he continues to feel slighted by a movie that he says makes Canada look like a meek observer to CIA heroics in the rescue of six U.S. citizens caught in the crisis. Taylor said if Affleck doesn't say something in his acceptance speech "then it's a further reflection" on him.
"I would hope he would," Taylor said. "But given the events of the last while I'm not necessarily anticipating anything."
Taylor kept the Americans hidden at the embassy in Tehran and facilitated the escape by getting passports and plane tickets for them. He became a hero in Canada and the United States after.
Affleck's CIA thriller "Argo" is widely expected to win the best-picture trophy on Sunday. Two other high-profile best-picture nominees this year, Kathryn Bigelow's "Zero Dark Thirty" and Steven Spielberg's "Lincoln," have also been criticized for their portrayal of some factual issues.
"In general it makes it seem like the Canadians were just along for the ride. The Canadians were brave. Period," Taylor said.
Affleck said he thought his issue with Taylor had been resolved.
"I admire Ken very much for his role in rescuing the six houseguests. I consider him a hero. In light of my many conversations as well as a change to an end card that Ken requested I am surprised that Ken continues to take issue with the film," he said in a statement. "I spoke to him recently when he asked me to narrate a documentary he is prominently featured in and yet he didn't mention any lingering concerns. I agreed to do it and I look forward to seeing Ken at the recording."
Taylor noted that former U.S. President Jimmy Carter appeared on CNN on Thursday night and said "90 percent of the contributions to the ideas and the consummation of the plan was Canadian," but the film "gives almost full credit to the American CIA."
"There would be no movie without the Canadians. We took the six in without being asked so it starts there," Taylor said. "And the fact that we got them out with some help from the CIA then that's where the story loses itself. I think Jimmy Carter has it about right, it was 90 percent Canada, 10 percent the CIA."
He said CIA agent Tony Mendez, played by Affleck in the film, was only in Iran for a day and a half.
The movie also makes no mention of John Sheardown, a deputy at the Canadian embassy who sheltered some of the Americans. Taylor said it was Sheardown who took the first call and agreed right away to take the Americans in. Sheardown recently died and his wife, Zena, called the movie disappointing.
Friends of Taylor were outraged last September when "Argo" debuted at the Toronto International Film Festival. The original postscript of the movie said that Taylor received 112 citations and awards for his work in freeing the hostages and suggested Taylor didn't deserve them because the movie ends with the CIA deciding to let Canada have the credit for helping the Americans escape.
Taylor called the postscript lines "disgraceful and insulting" and said it would have caused outrage in Canada if the lines were not changed. Affleck flew Taylor to Los Angeles after the Toronto debut and allowed him to insert a postscript that gave Canada some credit.
Taylor called it a good movie and said he's not rooting against it, but said it is far from accurate.
"He's a good director. It's got momentum. There's nothing much right from Day 1 I could do about the movie. I changed a line at the end because the caption at the end was disgraceful. It's like Tiananmen Square, you are sitting in front of a big tank," he said.

Hollis citizens speaking out against controversial gas pipelineBy April Guilmet
Union Leader Correspondent
April 23. 2014 11:18PM
HOLLIS — Ruth Herzog Pack seemed to sum up the feelings of the 200 or so residents at a heated two-hour discussion on a proposed expansion of a gas pipeline.
"I hope we can make this impossible, or at least so unprofitable that they take their pipeline elsewhere," she said.
During a brief public presentation Monday night, Kinder Morgan officials said the pipeline's final route has yet to be determined. However, the company representatives said its initial route would take the pipeline from New York toward Dracut and Pepperell, Mass., with lateral lines stretching into Nashua and Hollis and the main line stretching into Merrimack.
The end result of the proposed Northeast Expansion Project, also known as the Tennessee Gas Pipeline, would be an additional 250 miles of pipeline. Company spokesman Allen Fore said the expansion would generate $1 million in tax revenues for the state each year.
Fore said the project's intention is to address inadequate infrastructure in the region and the growing demand for natural gas energy.
"It makes sense for us to look at this right now," he said, noting that about 52 percent of New England was relying on natural gas last year.
If approved, pipeline construction would begin in spring 2017, though Fore said that many, many meetings and public discussions would take place before then.
Kinder Morgan is the largest transporter of natural gas in the United States, boasting some 70,000 miles of gas lines. The company is represented in 45 states across the country. Kinder Morgan already operates about 50 miles of pipeline in New Hampshire; the company paid $1.2 million to state and local taxing bodies last year.
Concerned about the project's implications, the Hollis Board of Selectmen announced last week that it had hired attorney Robert Ciandella of DTC Lawyers to counsel the town on the matter.
Some of the residents said Kinder Morgan surveyors had already approached them. Surveyors also contacted the Beaver Brook Association, town officials confirmed.
Irene Drive resident Craig Jones, whose property abuts Beaver Brook conservation land, said he wouldn't be granting permission to survey anytime soon.
"Clearly, we're going to fight this," Jones said. "So at what point should we start getting our lawyers involved?"
Carrie Kepnes, 37 W. Hollis Road, said the pipeline would potentially sweep right through her backyard, leading to the likely removal of many of her trees.
"They're doing this for their own financial interest," she said, generating loud applause. "Don't think they're just here to provide cheap gas for everybody."
Drew Kellner, president of the Beaver Brook Association's board of trustees, expressed concern over future preservation of the town's natural places.
He noted Kinder Morgan's prior history of laying pipelines through conservation sites in other states, where parts of the properties were acquired via eminent domain — something he fears could happen in Hollis.
"I'm not necessarily opposed to having a pipeline," Kellner told Kinder Morgan officials. "But you seem to be targeting conservation groups because it presents a high level of permit-ability. I have a huge problem with that."

VALLEY SPRINGS - Valley Springs residents turned out by the bus load Tuesday night to light candles in memory of Leila Fowler and offer what comfort they could to the family of the slain 8-year-old girl.
VALLEY SPRINGS - Valley Springs residents turned out by the bus load Tuesday night to light candles in memory of Leila Fowler and offer what comfort they could to the family of the slain 8-year-old girl.
Leila died Saturday of stab wounds inflicted during an attack at her Rippon Road home. Investigators searching for an intruder seen fleeing the home have yet to report a break in the case.
Leila was a third-grader at Jenny Lind Elementary School. Several thousand people packed the school's central plaza Tuesday night for a service in her honor.
The crowd was so large that many had to be bused in from a church parking lot a half-mile away. As they arrived, people picked up purple ribbons - it was reportedly Leila's favorite color - and walked to the far side of the school's athletic fields to tie the ribbons to a fence along Highway 26.
The message said "WE (heart) LEILA." After tying their ribbons, members of a youth group at Good Samaritan Community Covenant Church joined hands and prayed.
"As a community, we are one," said Raven Pasquinucci, 17, a member of the youth group.
Many at the vigil expressed wonder at the extent to which Valley Springs had united to face the grievous loss of a child. And though they were heartened that so many people came to support Leila's family, they said they were still in shock that it was necessary at all.
"This does not happen in our communities," said Pamela Smylie, Leila's third-grade teacher and one of the speakers during the vigil. "It happens on TV and in big cities."
Leila's father, Barney Fowler, her stepmother, Crystal Walters, and Leila's siblings stood a few feet away as Smylie told of how the girl had been a "wonderful student" and "a truly beautiful person outside and inside."
"Leila will never be forgotten," Smylie said. "She will be carried in my heart forever."
The Rev. Matt Nordahl of Burson Church told those at the vigil that Leila was "in the arms of our Lord."
He also prayed for the success of investigators, who despite three days of searching had yet to find the person responsible or to even identify a suspect.
The Calaveras County Sheriff's Office released no new information on the case Tuesday, although Sheriff Gary Kuntz did issue a statement thanking community residents for their support during the massive, and sometimes disruptive, search. That search is expected to continue today.
Meanwhile, police in Placerville on Tuesday said they had contacted Calaveras County sheriff's investigators to explore whether a man arrested after reportedly attempting to abduct a toddler Tuesday might be connected to Saturday's killing in Valley Springs.
Jason Wryrynen, 44, entered an apartment and tried to take a 15-month-old girl from her mother, The Sacramento Bee reported.
A Placerville police spokesman said the agency had no reason to believe Wryrynen was connected to the Valley Springs case except that Wryrynen resembles the vague suspect description given in Leila's killing.
Officials said a DNA sample had been collected from Wryrynen.

Just as we have proudly highlighted the teaching of Living the Gospel of Life and Faithful Citizenship, so we also echo the statements of individual bishops -- including the Bishop of Rome -- about the critical nature of the abortion issue in relation to politics.
Traveling the nation constantly, I have observed how grateful people are to hear these exhortations, and I pass that gratitude on to our bishops. At the same time, I have been disappointed by some commentators who, contrary to the bishops' documents, have tried to equate all the issues. The late Cardinal Joseph Bernardin never tolerated such a false equality. He argued rightly for linkage among the life issues, not for putting them all on the same footing.
A candidate's support for Roe vs. Wade, which has unleashed a policy of abortion on demand and destroyed over 34 million children, is far worse than his or her support for capital punishment. We oppose both. But Church teaching has never put both on an equal level.
The Priests for Life web site, www.priestsforlife.org, presents the full texts of Magisterium statements on abortion, as well as the lectures of Cardinal Bernardin on the proper understanding of the Consistent Ethic of Life.
On the following page are excerpts from some of the recent statements made by our Bishops. I urge everyone to read them carefully, especially during this critical time before the 2000 elections.
Fr. Frank Pavone is National Director of Priests for Life. He is a priest of the Archdiocese of New York, and was appointed to this position by the late Cardinal John O'Connor.
"Dear friends, let us commit all our forces to defending the value of the family and respect for human life from the moment of conception. … I ask all people of good will who believe in these values to join forces effectively so that the latter may prevail in daily life, in cultural trends and in the mass media, in political decisions and the laws of nations." --Pope John Paul II, Third World Meeting with Families, October 14, 2000
"A political leader… is an architect of society…without a respect for life, all things fall apart. Political leaders must carry in their own minds and hearts the defense of the right to life and offer it to the community. Without this defense of life, the political leader, instead of contributing to the construction of society, destroys it." -- His Eminence Alfonso Cardinal López-Trujillo, President of the Pontifical Council for the Family, Vatican City
"We are unconditionally pro-life, since respect for the right to life is necessary for a human being to be able to exercise any other human right." -- Cardinal William H. Keeler, Archbishop of Baltimore, Chairman, Pro-life Committee of the US Catholic Bishops, Bishop Joseph A. Fiorenza, Bishop of Galveston-Houston, President of the National Conference of Catholic Bishops/U.S. Catholic Conference
We, the Four Bishops of Massachusetts, … wish to underscore the absolute centrality of the first issue, the protection of human life. Support and promotion of abortion by any candidate is always wrong and can never be justified. We will never cease to denounce abortion and euthanasia and teach all Catholics that to support those positions is to support death over life. - +His Eminence, Bernard Cardinal Law, Archbishop of Boston, +Most Reverend Thomas Dupre, Bishop of Springfield, +Most Reverend Sean O'Malley, OFM Cap, Bishop of Fall River, +Most Reverend Daniel Reilly, Bishop of Worcester, October 2000
"Abortion is a decisive issue" tied to the United States upcoming elections. "…(P)overty can be dealt with progressively, (but) the death of a child is immediate". -- Cardinal Francis George, Archbishop of Chicago, October 2000
"It is impossible to advance human dignity by being "right" on issues like poverty and immigration, but wrong about the most fundamental issue of all -- the right to life." Archbishop Charles Chaput, OFM Cap., Archbishop of Denver, American and Catholic: thoughts on responsible citizenship, October 11, 2000
"The thousands of innocent pre-born babies killed every year by abortion constitute a greater evil than the execution of a few convicted felons by the state not only because of sheer number of deaths, but because of the gravity of the act itself. Therefore opposition to abortion must be a priority for Catholics who support the Church's teaching about the sacredness of all human life. -- Archbishop Elden Francis Curtiss, Archbishop of Omaha
"Many Catholic leaders both clerical and lay have urged that citizens not vote for anyone who does not have a strong pro-life position. I do not see how a disciple of the Lord could ignore the fundamental importance of public policy protecting human life…To support candidates who would continue or even expand the possibilities for more people to die by human choice is seriously wrong." -- Bishop John Myers, Bishop of Peoria, October 17, 2000
"Abortion is the issue this year and every year in every campaign. …The taking of innocent human life is so heinous, so horribly evil, and so absolutely opposite to the law of Almighty God that abortion must take precedence over every other issue. I repeat. It is the single most important issue confronting not only Catholics, but also the entire electorate." -- Most Reverend James C. Timlin, D.D., Bishop of Scranton, "The Ballot and the Right to Life" Fall 2000
I fail to understand how any Catholic can support a candidate who is outspokenly and unambiguously "pro-choice", who supports the idea that the child in the womb is the property of the mother to be disposed of at will, and will make appointments to the Supreme Court that will reinforce the tremendous error of Roe v. Wade."-- Bishop William Murphy, Auxiliary Bishop of Boston

SANTIAGO, Chile (AP) — A Chilean human rights lawyer is asking the courts to charge the father of one presidential candidate with the torture and murder of her rival's father in 1974.
Attorney Eduardo Contreras said Friday that charges are supported by two former military officers who confronted Gen. Fernando Matthei in court last month.
The retired general's daughter Evelyn Matthei is running for the center-right coalition against the victim's daughter, former President Michelle Bachelet, who represents the center-left in the Nov. 17 presidential election.
Both families have said that the elder Matthei had no direct involvement in the death of Gen. Alberto Bachelet, who was convicted by dictator Augusto Pinochet's military of being a traitor for not joining the coup.

AG says Canterbury woman killed by trooper was drunk, had drugs in her system
October 25. 2013 3:43PM
The woman shot to death by a state trooper follow a chase last month had a blood alcohol level more than twice the legal limit and drugs in her system, according to the autopsy report.
Wendy Lawrence, 45, of Canterbury, was shot to death by Trooper Chad Lavoie after leading police on a chase from Concord to Manchester. Lawrence was killed near the intersection of Kennard Road and Dave Street in Manchester in a shooting Attorney General Joseph Foster deemed justified.
The autopsy report confirmed Lawrence was struck by four shots with a wound to the chest being fatal. The report released Friday revealed Lawrence had a blood alcohol level of .182, the legal limit in New Hampshire is .08. Traces of marijuana, Oxycodone and Prozac also were found.
According to court records, Lawrence had a history of drunk driving offenses.
After an investigation of the circumstances of the shooting, Foster concluded it was reasonable for Trooper Lavoie to believe Lawrence would have run him down had he not opened fire.
