An Orange County Superior Court judge found enough evidence Thursday to move forward with a case against a Costa Mesa woman who was accused of lying to police during a murder investigation involving her then-fiance.
But prosecutors may still have a "hard time" proving that Rachel Buffett, 25, intentionally misled investigators to help Daniel Wozniak, 28, also of Costa Mesa, avoid getting caught, said Judge Kazuharu Makino.
Toward the end of the hours-long preliminary hearing, Makino questioned whether Buffett would lie to police to prevent Wozniak's conviction even after Wozniak told investigators that he killed their Costa Mesa neighbor and their neighbor's tutor.
Still, he said, after hearing testimony from three Costa Mesa police detectives who worked on the case, "I think the evidence is sufficient."
Buffett faces up to three felony charges of accessory after the fact for her alleged involvement following the murders of Samuel Herr, 26, of Costa Mesa, and Juri "Julie" Kibuishi, 23, of Irvine.
"Common sense is not too common," Buffett said after the proceedings. "The judge appeared to demonstrate common sense, but the legal process is tedious and my lawyer said this was to be expected. I'm sad to see the pain drawn out for the victims' families."
Buffett's family, as well as the families of Herr and Kibuishi, sat through the hearing, during which many of the grizzly details of the case were retold. Kibuishi's and Herr's parents sat together in the front row of the gallery, comforting each other.
"We're just relieved that it's going forward," Herr's father, Steve Herr, said.
Kibuishi's mother, June Kibuishi, said it was the first time she'd heard some of those details presented in court.
After more than two years, she said, the pain of losing her daughter is still fresh.
"It's like having your heart ripped out of your body," she said, gesturing to her chest.
Buffett is due back in court for an arraignment Dec. 26.

Emergence, Stability and Decay of Skyrmions in Chiral Magnets
Prof. Dr. Christian Pfleiderer, Physik-Department, Technische Universität München

Skyrmions are particle-like configurations of continuous fields named after the English particle physicist Tony Skyrme. Their existence has long been considered in nuclear matter, quantum Hall systems, liquid crystals, superfluid He and ultracold atoms. I will review the emergence, stability and decay of skyrmions as a novel generic property of chiral magnets, where they lead to an emergent electrodynamics with a wide range of practical consequences. Notably, the non-zero topological winding corresponds to precisely one quantum of emergent magnetic flux that mediates an extremely efficient coupling between the conduction electrons and the magnetic properties. In turn, the emergent flux leads to a topological Hall signal, spin transfer torques at ultra-low current densities and emergent electric fields. Additionally skyrmions are characterised by an exceptional stability, which cannot be simply suppressed under large hydrostatic pressures. In fact, one important decay mechanism identified recently are point defects, which may be viewed as quantized magnetic monopoles and antimonopoles, providing sources and sinks of one flux quantum of emergent magnetic flux, respectively.

Suits of armor, diamond rings and live rattlesnakes — all have made their way to the Unclaimed Baggage Center in Scottsboro, Ala., a store which sells items unclaimed airline luggage.
TrakDot, which launches at the end of March, aims to make sure your stuff doesn't. The $50 device, roughly the same size as a deck of cards, pinpoints its location using a GSM chip. Place it in a checked bag, and it sends updates on its whereabouts to your phone. (There's a one-time activation fee of $9, and annual service fees of $13.) Forthcoming apps allow you to set alerts if a bag moves beyond where you expect it to be, or to get fast notification when it hits the baggage carousel, says a spokesman for parent company GlobaTrac. "You don't have to stand there for two hours wondering if it's arrived," he says. The same FAA regulations that limit your smartphone use on the plane require TrakDot to automatically go into sleep mode once it hits a set altitude. So don't expect constant check-ins as the bag makes its way from say, New York to Las Vegas.
Frequent travelers may find it a small price for peace of mind, but the need for such precautions has lessened in recent years. Industrywide, Department of Transportation complaints regarding bags fell 7% from 2010 to 2011. Carriers mishandled 3.35 of every 1,000 passengers' bags, down from 3.49 in 2010, according to the Airline Quality Rating report from Wichita State University and Purdue University. Plus, most of those bags are only temporarily waylaid, and do get reunited with their owners.
Ironically, travelers owe much of the improved baggage handling to checked-bag fees, which cost a collective $3.4 billion last year. As AQR co-author Dean Headley, an associate professor of marketing at Wichita State University, told MarketWatch.com earlier this year, "If I paid $25 and my bag doesn't show up, I'm going to be a lot madder than if I didn't pay that bag fee."
Senior consumer reporter and "Deal of Day" columnist Kelli B. Grant travels to Las Vegas to find the best, the worst, and the most hyped gadgets at this year's Consumer Electronics Show. Join her as she roams the exhibit floor for three days, with dispatches here and on Twitter @kelligrant.

Does anyone have experience home schooling? Although we do not have children yet, I am planning on home schooling when the time comes. I am just trying to see what it is like and whether or not I can handle the responsibility. Also, is there anywhere one can see and check a particular curriculum?
Views: 230
You're starting investigations early! Home schooling is a mixed bag - I suppose there are pro's and con's to it. It is hard work, especially as they get older and increases with the number of kids you have. It's a big commitment to take on.
Yep, we're "crazy" homeschoolers of two boys. There are lots of places on the web to learn about homeschooling but if I can just recommend one site I'd suggest secularhomeschool.com. The forums are a great place to read what (secular) homeschoolers are talking about and there are links to a variety of secular curriculum/ed. materials. Don't get overwhelmed with curricula now (and curricula IS overwhelming), so much of it will be different by the time you have school aged kids. If you haven't already, I would start by learning about homeschooling styles.
It's hard, it's a lifestyle that you have to be willing to live, but it's also rewarding. IMO most responsible parents can handle the responsibility. Whether you succeed and stick with it, I think depends largely on what your expectations are and whether you can adjust your needs/expectations as needed to meet your children's needs.
It's also a commitment in terms of not being able to work and earn extra money - school is great for child care :)
We are crazy homeschoolers as well. I have 2 girls, 7 and 8 years.
It has been a few years now and I can't say I regret it at all. Initially I wanted to homeschool because I wanted my kids to love learning and was afraid that there was a pretty good chance that school system would try to quash that.
We unschool and that seems to be a great fit for us. The whole "freedom from religion" has just been an added bonus. Here is a little post that made a lot of sense to me;
* because the kids waiting at the bus stop down the road, laden with heavy backpacks, seemed so little
* because it didn't feel right for my children to be away from me more of their waking hours than they were with me
* because I'm a better mom at the beginning of the day than at the end of it
* because I believe my kids have inner genius, and I want to help them uncover it
* because no one is as committed to their success as I am
* because I want them to have freedom–and extra time in their day to play, to think, to imagine
* because I don't believe staring out the window longingly during a lesson deserves a punishment–instead, it deserves a break
* because children are not parts on a assembly line–they're individuals in need of unique nurturing
* because I am in the privileged place to consider making this choice
* because the investment I'm making in them will one day reap dividends in the fruit of their lives
* because I cling to that belief on the hard days when it seems I'm making no difference whatsoever
* because I think traveling 6-8 weeks of the years makes for better learning than a year at a desk
* because hearts, not minds, most need reaching at this delicate age–and who better to reach hearts than a mom?
* because I am learning just as much as they are, and that's fun
* because this choice has been the right one…for us
a passionate heart felt response :)

The 100 Moments of TSU Athletics presented by Taco Bell® series continues by remembering a first in women's basketball history.
During the 1981-82 season, Sharon Jarrett became the first female basketball player at any level to score 1,000 points during a career. She ended her career with 1,594 points and has the sixth highest shooting percentage in program history.
Jarrett set the school mark in 1980 when she scored 595 points during her sophomore season. She then broke her own record as a senior by 29 points. She accomplished the feat by becoming the first TSU player to average double-figures in every season.
Jarrett was also a proficient passer, tallying 376 assists during her career. She has since been passed by two players since leaving TSU, but she broke the old school mark by nearly 100 assists during her senior campaign.
Although not very tall, Jarrett made an impact on the defensive end of the floor by clogging up passing lanes. She even set the TSU record for career steals with 198 in 80 games played.
After her playing career ended in 1982, Jarrett played basketball overseas in Venezuela where she led the league with 33 points per game.
Jarrett returned to TSU in 1984 and became the school's third women's basketball coach. She coached the Tigers for two seasons and compiled a 23-27 record.
Jarrett was inducted into the Tennessee State Spots Hall of Fame in 2010.
The 100 Moments of TSU Athletics presented by Taco Bell® highlights some of the greatest moments in honor of Tennessee State's centennial celebration. A new moment will be released each weekday for a total of 100. These moments were chosen by the TSU 100 Moments committee, which consists of alums from various departments. TSU has so many great moments, not all can be represented in these 100.

It's tucked behind his waistband, in back. He came in intubated and we never rolled him to fully expose him (as we should have) before he went to CT scan. So we were surprised to see the gun on the CT scout film.ReplyDelete

Yet another reason to do scout films before sticking someone in a gigantic magnet.ReplyDelete
(I know, you said CT, but the image of this guy going into an MR scanner was scarier)
I would reprimand the CT techs if I were you or the radiologist in your practice. This is unacceptable.ReplyDelete
A very late response to Vijay: this should have been caught at least twice before he went to CT (once by the medics, once by the ED staff) so yelling at the CT staff would be substantially unfair.ReplyDelete

Don't know your Westeros from your elbow? A "Game of Thrones" map, built by a fan using Google Maps /quotes/zigman/30194416/delayed /quotes/nls/goog GOOG technology, aims to change that by letting people roam around the land from the hit TV series.
It's an interactive map, so you can zoom in and out for a closer look at Winterfell, King's Landing and the like. The whole of the Westeros continent and surroundings are shown, from The Land of Always Winter in the north, to the Red Waste in the east.
But there's more to it than that. A slider lets you set the map for a specific program episode or — for the more literary — a chapter from the "A Song of Ice and Fire" novels the show is based on. Now select Joffrey Baratheon, Jaime Lannister or any other character, to show exactly where they were at that point – or click through the episodes to track their journey. There's a host of other features — towns, domains, death sites — to explore, too.
It's a labor of love by Westeros.org member Carpediem, who started building it in 2012, basing it on earlier maps by fellow fans serMountainGoat and Tear.
"All together, this adds up to quite a lot of information on one map. That's where you all come in. I haven't even finished reading the books once through, so I'm sure I made a few mistakes," Carpediem said in an online post, asking for corrections and suggestions.
Of course, Time Warner's /quotes/zigman/528906/delayed /quotes/nls/twx TWX HBO show isn't anywhere near the end of its tale of medieval-style death and dominion yet, so the map is naturally not complete. Plus, the books are a bit sketchy on some geographic details, and the TV show differs significantly from its source novels sometimes. And for copyright reasons, its maker steered clear of the official George R. R. Martin map book.
But even so, a bit of Google-style knight errantry is a lot of fun, even for those who don't dream of Daenerys and dragons. Here's the link to the quartermaester.com map: Dive in.

iGotWork needed a new web page design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 45 designs submitted by 13 freelance designers.
I'll select THE BEST illustration image of the new front-page as THE WINNER.
Hi my name is Andreas. I represent Rendalen biobrensel, and their new web-page.
Biopellets is an efficient heating product, as a replacement for wood, electricity and oil for both the private- and business-market. The products are rated "class 1." in a scale from 1-3. This is the highest quality of pellets.
The pellets are made from the sawdust from Scots pine, or in other words: the business use the waste and turn it into first class energy source for heating.
Bio and eco, efficiency and quality are all keywords. Also that this is a product meant for all types of customers.
REQ #1: Create an illustration of a webpage design that resembles the one at http//www.lovastransport.no/ The same, but still new. Description below!
The designer of the chosen mockup must create the full web page-design, including:
- Final front-page design
- Specific product level design/general design
Warm colors!
Use the "menu-setup" and "news-feed" as a foundation when you menu-design for this page.
Create a new banner, and keep the elements layered. The image where the slideshow is today should have the same function as at lovastransport.no, but: DO NOT CREATE A SLIDESHOW FUNCTION; I only want a layered banner where there is room for changing the illustration image just like the one on lovastransport.no
The horisontal manu-bar should include four selections, spread over the bar, as in the lovastransport.no page. Create a highlight effect like the one on lovastransport.no. (When you putt he marker above the links.)
Three "buttons": "Rendalen Biobrensel AS, Rømskog Biobrensel AS, Samarbeidspartnere/utsalgssteder"
DO NOT create round symbols like they have on lovastransport.no and "Viktig – les dette" can be removed. In other words, the entire space there has no content and can made different.
Warm colors! This is a product made for heating in buildnings. Private and busines.
Keep it light and clean, remember, warmth!

Speaking of awards, we're also partnering with AdWeek this year to host an experience that aims to predict the award winners. The site will go live tomorrow morning, and we'll send out the link once it's live. There, you'll get a chance to vote for your favorite nominees as well, so that we can hear from all of you following the festival from home.
To end our week at Cannes, our VP of EMEA Marketing, Mark Phibbs, will join Razorfish and Converge on a panel to discuss the blurring lines between creativity, technology, and media on Wednesday, June 19th at 3 p.m.
Follow us @Adobe for the latest from the festival, and for those of you are here, we hope to get a chance to meet you!

In order to attract the man of your dreams, Best Value Made To Measure Suit in Kempton park it helps to dress in a way that honors your beautiful body. When I use the word "honor," I don't mean you should dress like a nun or hide yourself in an ankle-length skirt and a turtleneck.
But you should wear only clothes that make the best of your unique
shape. Too many fleshy women (and there are lots of men who prefer robust
females over skimpier lasses) are currently wandering the planet in
low-rise jeans and tank tops, Made To Measure Men's Suits which results in a phenomenon known as
"muffin top." In other words, they're walking around with a wedge of flab
over their waistbands. Not a good look.
Before you hop on whatever trend they're pushing in InStyle magazine,
ask yourself if the look works for you and your beautiful body. I once
read an interview with the actress Sela Ward, Made To Measure Suit Price in which she said she
chooses clothes to show off her amazing flat stomach but avoids items that expose her flabby thighs. You see, nobody's perfect!
"Wuthering Heights," I said.
"Really?" he asked. "I just finished Jane Eyre."
And so began a little romance.
Formal Dresses For Men
Still bewildered, I told my male friend B. this story years later. I
didn't understand why this Adonis chose Glow-in-the-Dark Terry over the
dark lovelies in bikinis.
"I understand completely," B. responded. "The beach was crawling with
girls in bikinis, and you presented something else. A little mystery."
"In a pair of Levis?"
"Yeah," he said. "The guy probably thought, this girl is different. I
want to talk to her."
Does this mean you should throw away your bikini? Heck, no, especially
if you look good in it. But the point is, be true to yourself. Dress to
make the very best of your unique and beautiful body.
You'll attract men who are looking for someone special for a change.
Best Value Made To Measure Suit in Kempton park ?
When looking at men's formal wear you need to follow some simple basic guidelines to get an instant classic look which
projects a sense of style.
Getting the right look with men's formal wear is not difficult, if you follow the image guidelines below.
Your suit
In men's formal wear let's start with choosing a formal suit.
1. Style
Changes, but you can't go wrong with a single-breasted, solid color suit in black, grey or navy blue and always remember a single-breasted suit will make you look slimmer and sleeker in appearance.
In men's formal wear a stylish suit can conjure up a number of images, all of them positive.
A suit can make you look powerful, mature, conservative, or sexy. Remember, most women love men in suits!
2. Fabrics and Patterns
Wool is always a safe option when buying a suit. It looks good and wears well.

Men's formal wear can really make a great impression if worn in the right way.
Formal Wear For Men
Men's wear in the 1920s is not very different from men's business attire today. A good suit, tie, hat, and shoes were all a man needed to dress in the day. Evening events were much more formal will full tuxedos even for a dinner party with friends.
To dress like a man from the 1920's you will need the following:
Suit- Suit jackets were usually single breasted, with minimal buttons, and had an overall loose appearance. Pants were held high on the waist with pleats at the top and cuffs at the bottom. In cool seasons suits were dark grey, blue or brown wile summer colors were white, ivory, pastels and occasionally pink (Gatsby wore a pink suit in novel The Great Gatsby.)
Hat- Men do not wear hats today as they did in the 1920s. Winter hats included the bowler, flat cap (also known as a cab driver hat), panama (felt), or its cousin the Fedora. Summer hats were made of straw, such as the straw Boater (aka Skimmer) or the Optimo Panama hat. Top hats were still used for formal wear.
Shoes- The final defining element of a man's dress was his shoes. Two toned spectator dress shoes were the most appropriate. Fringed tongues and wingtips on Oxfords and Brogues were seen frequently.

MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - Mexico has reached basic agreement with companies holding a chunk of broadcast spectrum that could boost competition in that country's telecommunications market, the Transport and Communications ministry said on Wednesday.
A ministry spokesman said "general" agreement had been reached, but there are details that still need to be worked out. A final accord is likely to be announced later this week or early next week, he added.
The government said last year it wanted to reclaim 68 licenses for the spectrum in the 2.5 gigahertz (GHz) band, 42 of which are held by media firm MVS Comunicaciones.
MVS could not immediately be reached for comment.
What percentage of the 190 megahertz (MHz) spectrum within the band would be reclaimed by the government had not been defined, the spokesman said. Mexican media reports have said the government would recover just over two thirds, but the spokesman said that was not yet settled.
The ministry spokesman said the plan was for those who have the spectrum to provide broadband services from 2015-2016.
The government decided to take back the spectrum after MVS and other companies failed to use it to develop high-speed networks, and was planning to resell it.
Mexico earlier this year passed a major reform to increase competition in phone and Internet services, which are dominated by Carlos Slim's America Movil, and in television, where Emilio Azcarraga's Televisa holds sway.
It includes provisions to "guarantee the optimal use of the 700 MHz and 2.5 GHz bands under the principles of universal, non-discriminatory, shared and continual usage."
The reform also includes provisions for a national broadband network, but details about it are still unclear.
Analysts have estimated that the 190 MHz in question would be enough to service three companies roughly the size of America Movil, Latin America's biggest phone company.

You've got to admit that this is pretty cool. A megaphone is set up in Time's Square, for passersby to say something nice and encouraging for others to hear.
The flipside of this could be a lot of fun too. They should hire Don Rickles to insult passersby. That could be "encouraging" for people to lose weight, dress more appropriately and/or stop acting so stupid in public.
Here's the youtube video of what's going on there.

Subaru has always kind of done its own thing. Their vehicles look a little different, they don't follow the same rules as everyone else, they have an enviable safety test record, and as a result Subaru has a pretty loyal following.
I recently tested a 2014 Subaru Forester 2.0XT Touring, and I'm back to see just how this unique small crossover SUV offering stacks up against the competition.
The 2014 Subaru Forester gets a complete overhaul from the previous edition, and the results are impressive. The look is definitely unique from its competitors, focusing not so much on sleekness and moreso on being utilitarian.
One of my favorite things about the look are the large windshield in front and back so you have an extra clear view of the road on all sides.
The vehicle gets a little larger, so the inside also gets a healthy revamp, and the boost in roominess will be appreciated by those shopping for a small crossover SUV who want decent leg room in the back plus cargo space when needed (the back seats fold down for a healthy-sized storage space).
There are good and bad elements to driving a 2014 Forester.
On the plus side, my test vehicle with its turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine was exceptionally punchy, getting up to speed faster than any other SUV I have driven in the recent past. The 250 horsepower it produced can take the credit for that.
If you go with lower trim levels, you'll get a 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine with about 170 horsepower -- a noticeable difference, but the price is much lower.
It also handled very well in all types of weather, another testament to Subaru's general position as a safety leader in the industry. I was never worried about what the weather was like when I was driving this car, as I knew it could handle it.
On the negative side of things, the ride can be called a bit stiff, and the handling is occasionally a bit jerky and less smooth than I've experienced on other small crossovers on the market.
Getting back to the plus side, all-wheel drive is standard -- something that not all vehicles in this segment can claim. This lends creedence to the Forester's claim as a vehicle capable of being both a grocery getter and a modest off-roader (thought I would probably go the Jeep route if I were a true off-roader type).
The fuel mileage on the 2014 Forester is greatly improved for 2014 due to the updated CVT transmision. The manual transmission, available on some trim levels, is now six-speed instead of five-speed and mpg numbers improve there too.
Official MPG numbers on my test vehicle were 23 city/28 highway and 25 combined -- and my experience generally reflected these numbers, which are competitive in this small crossover segment. On the base engine, numbers are even better at 24 mpg city/32 mpg highway and 27 mpg combined.
Subaru does a decent job keeping up with technology upgrades inside the vehicle, though the use of its in-car interface isn't quite as smooth as what other brands are currently offering.
But as usual the tech area where Subaru shines the most is safety.
The 2014 Forester has done superbly on safety tests across the board, and that's no surprise since this brand is generally associated with being one of the safest on the market. It's even done better than previous Forester models on some tests, so the redesign has had another positive effect.
The hallmark of the Subaru safety lineup is the optional Eyesight Driver-Assist System, which uses cameras to keep you safe in almost any situation that may come up on the road. it features pre-collision braking, adaptive cruise control (one of my favorite features, slowing down your car if someone jumps in front you while you are on cruise control), lane departure and lane sway warnings, and pre-collision throttle management. The cameras in this system are mounted on the sides of the rearview mirror to detect whatever might be in front of you and helps the car react as quickly as possible -- including braking for you.
As I mentioned before, the all-wheel drive helps a lot in slippery conditions, as does the very effective anti-lock braking system.
You get seven air bags standard, and the vehicle is designed to take any damage from an accident in its frame, not the passenger area.
In short, a lot of thought went into making this vehicle a very safe one to drive.
There are a variety of trim levels offered on the 2014 Subaru Forester: 2.5i, 2.5i Premium, 2.5i Limited and 2.5i Touring; plus 2.0XT Premium and 2.0XT Touring.
I had the top-level 2.0XT Touring vehicle, which has a base price of $32,995 and came to a total of $36,220 once it added the Option package -- which included the EyeSight system and keyless access and start.
Base models start as low as $21,995. Even on the base, you'll still get 17-inch steel wheels, power doors/windows, cruise control, Bluetooth connectivity, and an iPod/USB audio interface. Other features (rearview camera, heated seats, navigation, etc.) are included as you move up the ladder in terms of trim level.
While there are other small crossover SUVs on the market with an overall smoother ride, it's hard to argue with the fact that Subaru's Forester is probably the safest small SUV on the market. I love the visibility it provides, the overall performance even in bad weather and the standard all-wheel drive.
Combining the safety accolades with the the interior size improvements makes the Forester a strong option for families.
It's not meant to be the most beautiful ride on the market, and it's not pretending to be that.
This segment is crowded of course, and the Jeep Cherokee, Ford Escape, Mazda CX-5, Honda CR-V are among the other apealing offerings on the market. They are all worth a test drive, and potential customers will have to weigh the value of safety features vs. overall ride quality and see what is most important to them when deciding which small SUV works best for them.
Despite the competition being pretty stiff, Subaru has definitely improved its ability to compete in this segment with the 2014 redesign of its Forester, which takes the key successes of past Subarus and adds to them with new improvements.

FULLERTON – Police officers involved in use-of-force encounters that call for their conduct to be investigated will be forbidden from watching video or listening to audio recordings of the incidents prior to filing written reports.
The new mandate is among dozens of department-policy revisions posted Wednesday on the city's website and enacted since the July 2011 death of Kelly Thomas.
Three officers face criminal charges stemming from that fatal confrontation, which occurred when officers approached Thomas suspecting the mentally-ill transient of trying to open car doors in the Fullerton Transportation Center.
The policy revisions were ordered by Capt. Dan Hughes, the acting police chief, in response to 59 recommendations from an outside investigator hired to probe the incident and the department as a whole.
New regulations either revise policies or establish new ones, Hughes said.
The six officers at the scene with Thomas watched a video of the confrontation and composed their statements despite initial orders to stay at the scene and speak to investigators.
"We didn't have a clear-cut policy on what to do in these situations," Hughes said. "We never addressed a policy like that before."
Another new policy establishes guidelines for when foot pursuits are warranted: Unless the officer reasonably believes that certain circumstances exist, like there is a serious threat to someone, officers should consider alternatives.
One new policy establishes a Tactical Review Committee to investigate any use-of-force incidents that "results in very serious injury or death to another," said a document written by Hughes.
The committee essentially replaces the Use of Force Board, which had a sole function of determining whether force used in an incident violated department policy, Hughes said.
The Tactical Review Committee, said Hughes, will be used as a tool to limit the amount of force-related encounters. Trends might be discovered and new policies developed to reduce force.
"That is really what we are trying to get at," Hughes said.
Another recommendation calls for the formation of a Chief's Advisory Board, comprised of up to 20 people representing a variety of disciplines.
The board's goal "is to provide a forum for police-community interaction to address public safety and related issues in order to further enhance the quality of life in our community," said the Hughes document.
Other policies address how evidence is collected and stored, calling for increased safeguarding of money, narcotics and weapons.
The outside investigator, Michael Gennaco, began his probe in August 2011 and delivered his final report to the City Council in May. Hughes said many of the policy changes occurred before Gennaco's investigation was completed.

Buzz is high on the Indiana Pacers for the upcoming season. So it's only right that they — mainly Gerald Green — take their act above the ground to reflect such:
Generally when people use the term "above the rim," a visual of a full head above the rim is not what actually happens. This is something you expect to see on Space Jam, not in an empty gym where the rules of gravity are supposed to apply.
Between Green, Blake Griffin and That Guy in Miami, Mr. Calloway might have his work cut out for him this season.

American Diabetes Association, YMCA of the USA and American Medical Association Release New Cost Estimate on Federal Savings of the Medicare Diabetes Prevention Act
Alexandria, Virginia
February 24, 2014
New Report Finds More Than $1.3 Billion in Savings through Legislation
The American Diabetes Association and YMCA of the USA (Y-USA), in collaboration with the American Medical Association (AMA), released important new research today examining HR 962/S 452, the Medicare Diabetes Prevention Act (MDPA). The study, Estimated Federal Impact of the Medicare Diabetes Prevention Act, conducted by Avalere Health, was commissioned by the three organizations to identify the federal government savings or cost burden of the legislation using methods similar to those of the Congressional Budget Office (CBO). The research estimates the legislation would reduce federal spending by $1.3 billion over the 10-year budget window (2015-2024) and also reduce the incidence of diabetes among seniors.
"Coverage of diabetes prevention programs under Medicare will advance the fiscal health of our nation by reducing overall health care spending on diabetes," said John Anderson, MD, immediate past president, Medicine & Science, American Diabetes Association. "With the cost and prevalence of diabetes reaching unprecedented levels, there has never been a more critical time for Congress to support cost-effective, evidence-based programs that will improve the lives and health of America's seniors."
Currently, half of all Americans age 65 or older have prediabetes and are at risk for developing type 2 diabetes. The MDPA will create a new benefit to provide coverage of the National Diabetes Prevention Program (National DPP) under Medicare. Programs like the YMCA's Diabetes Prevention Program and National DPP programs administered by other community organizations would be among the certified, evidence-based prevention programs covered by the legislation. Over the 10-year period, the estimated savings of $1.3 billion from the MDPA reflects lower Medicare spending due to the reduced incidence of diabetes during this period, resulting in fewer beneficiaries requiring certain medical interventions and services associated with the disease. With estimated savings growing over time, the study found even greater savings could accrue when looking beyond 2024.
To arrive at the estimated federal savings, the study used conservative assumptions grounded in the published literature and real-world experiences drawn from existing diabetes prevention programs. Based on those conservative assumptions, the study estimates an annual enrollment rate as low as 3 to 5 percent which would result in five million Medicare beneficiaries becoming enrolled in a diabetes prevention program by 2024. The study also estimates a 37 percent reduction in the cumulative incidence rate of diabetes over 10 years, resulting in nearly one million fewer cases of diabetes among seniors by 2024.
"As one of the nation's largest providers of diabetes prevention programs under the National Diabetes Prevention Program, the Y believes ensuring program coverage for high-risk older adults will not only improve their health, but also help reduce the burden of diabetes on the health care system," said Neil Nicoll, president and CEO, YMCA of the USA. "Based on our experience, as well as National Institutes of Health research, seniors benefit from the program even more than the general population."
Diabetes, a serious and life-threatening disease, has reached epidemic proportions in the U.S. with nearly 26 million adults and children living with the disease. An additional 79 million have prediabetes, placing them at increased risk for developing type 2 diabetes. The estimated total cost of diagnosed diabetes has skyrocketed to $245 billion annually. The findings from the study estimate the MDPA can help reduce this overwhelming financial burden by decreasing Medicare spending through reduced rates of diabetes among at-risk beneficiaries participating in diabetes prevention programs.
"With nearly 50 percent of our country's seniors at risk for developing type 2 diabetes, it is critical for seniors to have access to diabetes prevention programs. That is why the American Medical Association has made diabetes prevention a key part of our mission to help improve the health of the nation," said Ardis Dee Hoven, MD, president, American Medical Association. "We urge Congress to include diabetes prevention programs under Medicare coverage to help improve health outcomes for seniors and tackle this public health crisis that continues to strain our nation's health care system."
Avalere Health, a strategic health care advisory company, has extensive knowledge and expertise in evaluating the federal impact of legislation and in analyzing the relationship between health costs, in this case those related to diabetes, and the role of prevention. Avalere researched the connection between diabetes prevention programs and health care spending, relying on studies published in peer-reviewed journals and data from the CBO, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). Avalere then used methods similar to those employed by the CBO to estimate how the MDPA could affect federal spending over the next 10 years.

What project is waiting to be done?
Winter's end and spring's onset brings to mind unfinished business, like the decluttering and organizing projects in the basement and garage, the bicycle inner tubes not yet patched, the books half read, the words left unsaid. It is easy to accumulate a lot of unfinished business in our sometimes too busy lives.
The nature of my profession—working with the aged and, to a lesser degree, disabled—sometimes leads me to reflect upon how long I'll have to take care of that unfinished business. We may be robust and healthy one day and then, because of an accident or sudden onset of a health problem, be severely limited in what we can do the next. Or, we may experience a slow and gradual decline, thinking that there will always be another day to finish what needs to be done.
For me, prioritizing unfinished business comes down to simple questions like, what is truly important in life? What have I been putting off for too long? What will simplify my life or make it more meaningful and worthwhile? Each of us answers these questions differently. The key is that right now is the best time to begin chipping away at our personal Everests, while we still have the sound mind and body to do so.

Cover for MELLBY Armchair
Step Melange Red Wine Trevira CS designed by Gabriel A/S
About the product
Cover for IKEA MELLBY armchair - Step Melange Red Wine. Red raises a room's energy level. It is a good choice when you want to stir up excitement, particularly at night.

Red has been shown to raise blood pressure, speed respiration and heart rate. It is usually considered too stimulating for bedrooms, but if you're only in the room after dark, you'll be seeing it mostly by lamplight, when the color will appear muted, rich, and elegant. Red, the most intense, pumps the adrenaline like no other hue. It is the most popular color choice among men in home decorating.
Please note this custom cover is tailored by CoverCouch to fit the IKEA MELLBY armchair model. Armchair is not included and is available at IKEA.

Unfortunately, the Sahara granite grey sample that we ordered never arrived. We DID however, receive the Sahara in Onyx. The fabric, texture and appearance, is coarser than I would have imagined it to be, sort of like a tough tweed. This is NOT a style we'll choose for the look we're hoping to achieve, but the Lido in granite grey, grey, and light grey, are all good possibilities. We also like the step melange and the boss style fabrics.

I ordered the wrong size cover the first time. Shipping to return it was going to be more than the cover cost so I kept it, and ordered another in the correct size. The cover is very well made. Dog hair brushes off easily. I have not tried to wash it yet, but very pleased with the the quality so far. Pay close attention to the sofa model when ordering!

This was actually something I noted on my home page. From as far back as I can remember, I always had had that doubt, that questioning about religious teachings. I remember being in Sunday school class, bored out of my mind listening to these stories and wondering why my family went to church every week. I was maybe 7 or 8 years old, and thinking "how do they really know this stuff happened, because it was such a long time ago". Thinking about it, my doubt probably started just because I was so bored and irritated, that I just didn't want to listen to their crap.
I would say there were two significant events that pushed me to full blown atheism. The first, and this is going to come as a shocker, was that my family left the Baptist church they were going to after one of the congregation members (I think he was 24 or 25) started having a relationship with my 14 year old sister (she is almost 7 years older than me). Whether he was a pedophile and actually had sex with her I still don't know till this day. No one was aware of what was going on until he talked her into running off with him to another state. My memory is that it took a couple of days for the police to catch up with him, but they eventually did in Virginia. After that, my family pretty much disconnected from the church for about 10 years. Looking back at it now, having the break with the church at that time allowed my already strong doubts to grow even stronger without challenge.
The second "event" was that I really grew to like reading. Not being your normal kid, I liked to read all kinds of stuff. I read the newspaper almost every day, and not just the comics. I kept up on all of the political stuff, read the letters to the editor, and the op-ed page. I liked to read mysteries, horror stories and science-fiction books. Probably my two biggest influences were reading books on mythology, and my all time favorite as a kid, Sherlock Holmes mysteries. I think reading books with the mythology allowed me to see the fallacy of gods, and reading Sherlock Holmes mysteries exposed me to a scientific process / logical way of thinking and analyzing things.
Actually I should say that there are three things that led me away from religion, with the third being sports. I started playing baseball in Little League and then played into high school. My step-dad was also big sports fan and got me into football and hockey too. With all that time devoted to playing, watching, or reading about sports, it kept me away from the religious stuff.
My mother did eventually start going to church again, but she switched to a Methodist church in a different town as we had moved a few years after the perv tried to run off with my sister. We had a couple of minor fights over me going to church, but I held my ground. Already being 16 or 17, my dad (step-dad) backed me up saying that I was old enough to decide if I wanted to go or not, and that was the end of that.
J'ai eu une éducation catholique en Australie et était un agnostique de l'âge de treize ans à compter quand j'ai refusé de participer à la messe. J'ai récemment rendu compte que je suis athée.
We are all born Atheists! it is then that the indoctrination starts... fortunately for me I was never indoctrinated. So I have always been an atheist. I remember having the God squad visit my school about age 6 preaching the fun of god (to appeal to little kids of course! and they say its not brainwashing...) I remember thinking it was a load of crap. and at about age 9 telling the head mistress (very christian) in front of the entire school (about 200 kids) that I wouldn't sing at the carol service because it was being held in a church!! Suffice to say my parents got a call to warn them I was a heathen and they just told her to get lost. lol. She never much liked me after that, but then, I never much liked her either ;-)
I was very fortunate to have avoided all the B/S.
When I discovered that Santa was just a story I took a leap of childhood logic and assumed that god and jeebus were also just stories. In the many years since then nothing has convinced me that childhood logic was wrong.
I have always been open about my Atheism and have never really got any shit over it. My wife, two daughters, brother, niece, nephew and 4 grand kids are also Atheist, as are most of my cousins (and my dog, I think).
I haven't always identified as an atheist, but since the first day in sunday school I never bought the crap they spoon feed you. So i was a skeptic since the beginning who claimed to be christian simply because i was to naive to understand i didn't have to be.
I was thinking of posting a similar discussion when this one popped up in the feed. As I started to read the comments, I then noticed the dates - this was started some time ago!
But yes, I have often felt that I was a little different because I was raised atheist, my mother being agnostic and my father being anti-religious. As noted a lot of atheists are ex-xtians. I often wonder if I am a fundamental atheist because of my upbringing as I am constant and staunch about my atheism. I have no room for movement for the religious, I absolutely disbelieve and even if a god or a religion was proven to be true, I would still not follow the teachings, in the same context that I know communism exists but I am not a communist.
I was thrown out of religious class at school every week, but this was the influence of my father. "Ask them where god stood when 'he' made the earth"! He taunted me and I went along. I was eventually banned from religious class and was the only one in the whole school that spent that time in the library - where I read astronomy books, ironically. But unlike you, I didn't have such a 'rough' childhood, we were rather average.
By simply joining this site, I have never been around so many atheists before, I was always the 'odd one out'.
Thanks for bringing this up. I can't remember a time, ever, when I fully believed although I was raised in a baptist household & attended church. There were many "what the heck" moments for me as a child. But the first moment I knew without a doubt this was a phony,self serving construct was age 11. In the small community where I lived, gossip and uninformed judgement ruined a couple's lives. It is too long a story to go into here but that was the moment when the last of the cloudy thoughts cleared.What I was being taught in sunday school was turned on it's head in real life by the same people that were teaching me. Of course over the years I have come to understand more and put it all in context. At the time though, I blamed the church because that was were I saw most of the gossip and condemnation take place. All of that love your fellow man, don't judge others and do unto others stuff disappeared in the gleeful destruction of this family's social existence in that community.
Don't know if this helped you any. I do think there are those of us who have never bought into the God idea and just went with the flow we were in until we were old enough to define our thoughts and beliefs for ourselves.It may have appeared to others that we were "Christian" even if that was not what was in our minds and hearts.
I remember thinking how ridiculous it seemed that people were claiming that a being had created everything and refused to sing the various "oh lord, you are so big" songs from a young age. I can't remember ever believing those lies.
I can remember sitting through Catholic CCD (Their religious training) and thinking.... Really, you guys believe this stuff? You know you are talking about magical people living in space right??
I've always been an Atheist. I wasn't raised in a religious home. We never went to church or any other religious activities and my parents always taught me to question things. I guess I was lucky in that way. They also didn't do the whole "Santa Clause" thing with me and my sister, and it didn't ruin Christmas at all. ;) I know that my father is not an Atheist though, I guess I would describe him as a Deist. Not sure about my mother or my grandparents.
I guess I've never really believed in god, but I've tried.
I grew up in the Netherlands, my mom was raised catholic but never believed in god, my dad who came from christian and muslim parents (grandpa had to convert to islam in order to marry grandma but converted back to christianity after they fled to Holland right after the war--they lived in Indonesia, has 'tried on' several religions (though my mom says, the only reason that my dad decided that we were -at one point- jehova's witnesses was to save money on birthday presents). My dad is no longer affiliated with any religion.
I was always free in what I wanted to believe. When I was 14 I was struggling with certain issues and life questions and thought to seek answers through religion. I had talks with the pastor of a local church, I got baptized, went to church summer camp, sang in the choir, distributed flyers, the whole shabam. I even suggested to my family to start praying for dinner (we never did that before) and they were so kind that they went along with it.
I think I spent maybe two years with that church but just I didn't find any answers that helped me in any way, didn't find the bible at all helpful and I couldn't connect with the church members who didn't seem overly interested in understanding their religion. We never talked about the bible or even god. In fact, I found most of them rather un spiritual and close minded. Though they had lots of opinions when I changed my look and went 'hardrock', (I just let my hair down and wore a leather jacket and dr martins, oh noo!) what a joke. I eventually said goodbye to the church and religion.
In hind side, the church summer camps were fun though, lots of partying, only one church service on Sunday for half an hour or so and hardly any talk about god. I appreciate that now, but when I was 14, I did want to talk about god.
Oh well.

According to a new survey conducted by NAFA Fleet Management Association, more than 76% of fleets have incorporated sustainability initiatives in the past 12 months. That's good news in a year that saw many fleets struggling to get past the recession.
The non-profit group surveyed approximately 200 fleet managers in July. Results indicated that 76.6% of corporate fleets have sustainability programs, up from 64.5% in last year's survey. That's a very positive trend.
Public service fleets are more aggressive, the survey reported, and use a larger variety of methods and alternative fuels than their corporate counterparts. Three-quarters of all service fleets use a mix of hybrid, alternative fuel, and other fuel-efficient vehicles in their fleets. There is also a trend to downsizing the engine, with more than one-third shifting to 4-cylinder vehicles.
Another positive trend: 17.5% reported they have made the move to use only hybrid vehicles.
Corporate fleets also are using a mix of hybrid and other fuel-efficient vehicles, with 59.2% reporting that is their approach. And 55.1% reported downsizing to 4-cylinder vehicles, with 36.7% using alternative-fueled vehicles.
Corporate fleets were also more interested in becoming carbon neutral, with 10% purchasing carbon offsets, twice the percentage of public service fleets.
One concern from the study, though, is the number of fleets not developing sustainability programs. In fact, 86% of corporate fleets and 70% of public service fleets that currently do not have a program indicated they have no intention of starting one. Why?
Fuel use also saw a variety among fleets, although 91% of corporate fleets report using E85 in their vehicles. No other fuel topped 10%. Public service fleets offered a little more variety, with 64.4% using E85 and 63.5% running vehicles on biodiesel.
Compressed natural gas is used by 33.7 of public service fleets and liquefied petroleum gas at 16.3%.
Public service fleets also reported their plans to add more vehicles with 66.4% planning to add light-duty hybrids, 57.9% adding E85-capable vehicles, 52.3% adding biodiesel, 44.9% implementing battery-electric vehicles, 32.7% adding plug-in hybrids and 29% adding heavy-duty hybrids.
Corporate fleets are mostly interested in adding light-duty hybrids, 63.8%, and E85, 53.2%.

The Mavericks Visit The GRAMMY Museum
GRAMMY-winning country/rock group the Mavericks recently participated in an installment of the GRAMMY Museum's An Evening With series. Before an intimate audience at the Museum's Clive Davis Theater, the group discussed their songwriting process, early musical influences and performing live, among other topics. The Mavericks also performed a brief acoustic set featuring songs from their recent EP, Suited Up And Ready, including "Born To Be Blue," "Come Unto Me" and "Back In Your Arms Again."
"You get one chance with an audience and that's it," said guitarist Eddie Perez. "There's nobody in this band that doesn't approach [performing live] without that philosophy. We absolutely invest of ourselves in it."
The Mavericks currently include Paul Deakin (drums), Raul Malo (lead vocals/guitars), Jerry Dale McFadden (keyboards), Eddie Perez (guitars), and Robert Reynolds (bass). The group found initial success with the release of their third album, 1994's What A Crying Shame, which reached No. 6 on Billboard's Country Albums chart. Their follow-up album, 1995's Music For All Occasions, featured "Here Comes The Rain," which earned the group their first GRAMMY for Best Country Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocals. In total, the Mavericks have earned six Top 40 songs on the Billboard Country Singles chart, including their highest-charting single, "All You Ever Do Is Bring Me Down" (No. 13, 1996). Their most recent GRAMMY nomination came in 1998 for for Best Country Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocals for "Dance The Night Away." In 2003 the Mavericks went on hiatus and Malo embarked on a solo career.
In 2011 the Mavericks announced plans to reunite. This year the group embarked on a U.S. tour and signed with Valory Music Company, an imprint of independent record label Big Machine Records. The Mavericks' most recent release, Suited Up And Ready, was released in May. The EP contains five songs written or co-written by Malo. The group currently has U.S. tour dates scheduled through January.

-- restructuredtext --
Blatter is a tiny tool for creating and publishing static web sites built from dynamic templates.
When developing your site, you can work locally on your own computer and view your work through a local web server Blatter provides. All of your URLs will work, relative and absolute. And if you choose to use dynamic templates for including common elements like headers and footers, (or for more advanced templating features), those templates will be rendered on the fly as you make changes and refine your work.
When you're satisfied with your changes, you can 'blat' the project out into a folder containing a purely static version of the site.
Static files like images and css are copied over, and all of the dynamic templates are rendered into a final static form. The finished product can then be uploaded to the live web site and published immediately.
Get started with blatter init:
$ blatter init --hello-world Blatting... Created directories static, templates, site, out Created blatter.ini Created hello world content. Try it out with 'blatter serve' and 'blatter blat'. Done.
The --hello-world creates a sample project for you. There's some static content (an image) and some templates:
$ ls * blatter.ini out: site: index.html static: images/ templates: base.html
Anything in 'site' will be rendered as a template and is available as a URL. Anything in 'static' is available as a URL too: the two directories are combined together.
The 'templates' directory will also be searched for templates but is not included in URLs. It's a handy place to keep template fragments and utilities that you want to use in published pages.
You can start a local web server:
$ blatter serve Blatter server starting for: http://localhost:8008/ * Running on http://localhost:8008/ * Restarting with reloader... ^Z
And if you fetch the / URL, blatter renders the template site/index.html and serves up the static/images/dot.png. You'd do it in a web browser, but here we'll show it in text:
$ curl http://localhost:8008/   <title>hello world!</title>
  blatter success!

Satisfied with that, blatter will publish the entire site, combining everything in static with a rendered version of everything in site:
$ blatter blat Merged static into out Generated 1 files in out $ ls out images/ index.html $ cat out/index.html   <title>hello world!</title>
  blatter success!

You can even send that directly to a remote server if you like:
$ blatter publish --destination=www.my.host:/var/www/mysite/htdocs/
blatter init will create a basic configuration for you in blatter.ini. Any of the directories can be changed to suit your tastes.
Custom Jinja filters can be also be imported. Say you have a filter called uppercase in a filters.py file that you'd like to use. To import the filter you would add the following to your blatter.ini file:
[filter.uppercase] name=uppercase function=filters.uppercase
The name option is the name that Jinja will use to refer to the filter in your templates. The function option is the full module path to the function you want to import as a filter.
Nested Sites and Chaining Blatters
If your site will reside somewhere other than / on the remote server, you can set the url_prefix configuration option to match the prefix on the remote server, for example '~jek/'.
Blatter can also manage multiple sites within a single virtual server. Say you have the following structure:
/* /products/blatter/* /products/squiznart/*
Each of these can be its own blatter project. Each of the products/... projects would set their url_prefix to match the desired final URL.
If a /products/... project needs to use resources from the root (/), such as /images/logo.png, the two projects can be linked together during development so that URLs will resolve in the built-in web server and you'll see all those shared images.
The only prerequisite for linking is that both blatter projects be available on the filesystem. To enable linking, configure the fallbacks for the project. If a URL can't be found in the project by normal means, each of the fallbacks will be tried in turn. If the fallbacks themselves have fallbacks, they're tried as well.
In the blatter.ini:
url_prefix=/products/blatter fallbacks=root_website [fallback.root_website] location=../root_website
Ignoring Files
Files can be ignored by creating a file named ignore in the same location as blatter.ini. The file should consist of one file/directory name per line. No wildcards are supported. The ignore applies recursively. For example, if you have an ignore file like:
then ALL of the following would be ignored:
/static/index.html /static/dir/index.html /site/index.html /site/dir/sub/dir/index.html
This feature should be considered extremely experimental. It works well for excluding a .hg or CVS directory if you keep your content under version control but probably isn't good for much else yet.

Dole CEO's Bel Air Estate Lists for $30 Million
By Katy McLaughlin
A Bel Air estate owned by Dole Foods Co. Chairman and Chief Executive David H. Murdock is asking $30 million, according to co-listing agent Jeff Hyland, president of Hilton & Hyland.
Mr. Murdock bought the approximately 12,400-square-foot, seven-bedroom, seven-bathroom house in 2001 for "about $11 million," said Mr. Hyland, who adds that Mr. Murdock is selling because he is interested in spending more time at a ranch he owns in California. Mr. Murdock declined to comment.
The house has a spiral staircase and a large sun room with a view of Los Angeles. The estate includes a guesthouse, tropical greenhouse, pool house and maid's quarters. "It's one of the finest American Colonial revival houses in Bel Air, built by the architect Gordon Kaufmann, who built the Doheny Mansion now owned by the city of Beverly Hills," said Mr. Hyland.
Mr. Murdock, whose biography is a rags-to-riches tale, acquired Dole privately in 2003, took the company public in 2009 and recently completed a merger taking it private again. Last year, he sold the Hawaiian island of Lanai to Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison for $300 million.
The listing is shared between Mr. Hyland and Rick Hilton of Hilton & Hyland, an affiliate of Christie's International Real Estate, and Karen Crystal and Nicki LaPorta of Sotheby's International Real Estate.

The recipes I share here on Food With Legs vary along a spectrum that runs from Old Favourites straight to What the Hell Experiments. This one happens to fall much closer to the latter end than the former. I was having friends over for dinner, had plans for rich and meaty pasta and main courses and wanted to start with a salad. I figured I could lay down an acid base and get everyone salivating for what was up next. And that's how the "probiotic salad" that combines both my wild-fermented dill pickles and spicy Sichuan sauerkraut was conceived.
I am being a bit tongue-in-cheek by using that word "probiotic" in the title. Yogurt companies have adopted it–along with belly-dancing models and stomach-shapes lines–to make a back-handed claim about their products' health benefits. The connection between live bacteria in food and the digestive health of those who eat hasn't been definitely established, but I'm willing place a tentative bet that it will pan out–especially when the probiotic food is cultured with more than just a yogurt companies patented strains of lactobacilli.

The U.S. General Services Administration selected Trump Organization, headed by Donald Trump, to redevelop the historic Old Post Office building in Washington, D.C. Trump plans to spend close to $200 million to turn the structure into a 250-room luxury hotel with a restaurant, spa and conference facilities.
A Trump executive said that the project has appeal because there hasn't been a new luxury hotel built in the city in years, and there is a lack of prime locations as well as a high cost of land for development.
In a related event, House lawmakers recently approved the Civilian Property Realignment Act,a measure that would make it easier for the federal government to sell underused or excess federal property to cut costs.
