Jena 6 defendant out of jail

Tribune senior correspondent

Mychal Bell, the black teenager whose incarceration in a racially explosive case helped draw tens of thousands of civil rights protesters to the tiny Deep South town of Jena, La., last week, was released from jail on Thursday after more than nine months behind bars.

Bell, 17, one of six black teenagers charged with the beating of a white classmate at Jena High School last December, was freed after a local judge abruptly set a bond of $45,000, which a local bail-bonding firm quickly posted on Bell's behalf.

The youth's release capped a day of mounting political and judicial pressures in a case that has drawn condemnation from scores of national civil rights leaders concerned about perceived inequalities in the town's justice system.

"We still have mountains to climb, but at least this is closer to an even playing field," said Al Sharpton, who helped organize last week's protest and accompanied Bell as he walked out of jail. "He goes home because a lot of people left their home and stood up for him."

In Washington, the Congressional Black Caucus asked the U.S. Justice Department to investigate possible civil rights violations and prosecutorial misconduct in the Jena 6 case.

"This shocking case has focused national and international attention on what appears to be an unbelievable example of the separate and unequal justice that was once commonplace in the Deep South," the group of 43 lawmakers said in a letter to Acting Atty. Gen. Peter Keisler.

A Justice Department spokesman said investigations into the case were continuing but declined to comment further.

Walters: Jena spared 'disaster'

Meanwhile, the district attorney whose prosecution of the Jena 6 sparked the protest declared that only through the intervention of Jesus Christ was Jena spared from a "disaster" last week when more than 20,000 African-American demonstrators marched peacefully through the town.

"I firmly believe that had it not been for the direct intervention of the Lord Jesus Christ last Thursday, a disaster would have happened," LaSalle Parish District Atty. Reed Walters told a news conference.

When a black Jena pastor attending the news conference called it a "shame" that the prosecutor was crediting divine intervention for the orderly behavior of the demonstrators, Walters, who is white, said: "What I'm saying is, the Lord Jesus Christ put his influence on those people, and they responded accordingly."

The six-hour march Sept. 20 drew families from across the nation who rode buses for hours to protest perceived racial discrimination in the mostly white town of 3,000 people. The demonstration was non-violent; state and local authorities confirmed that they made no arrests and received no reports of property damage.

Walters insisted that he had treated all of the Jena 6 defendants "fairly and with dignity" but said he would not relent in his prosecution of the youths on charges of aggravated second-degree battery in the beating of Justin Barker, a 17-year-old white classmate.

The attack on Barker followed months of racial unrest in the town sparked after three white students hung nooses from a tree at the high school in an apparent warning aimed at black students not to try to sit beneath its shade. In a series of ensuing racial fights both on and off campus, white students who attacked black students were charged with misdemeanors or not at all, but the six black youths who jumped Barker and knocked him briefly unconscious were initially charged by Walters with attempted murder.

Bell was the first of the teenagers to go on trial. One of the remaining five has been charged as a juvenile, three others await trial as adults and one youth has yet to be arraigned.

Prosecution far from smooth

Walters said Thursday that he had not been swayed by the demonstrators or the national attention. But his prosecution of the case has not been smooth.

On the eve of Bell's trial in June, as national scrutiny mounted after a Tribune report about the case in May, Walters reduced the attempted-murder charges to aggravated second-degree battery and conspiracy. He won a conviction before an all-white jury after Bell's original court-appointed defense attorney called no witnesses and presented no defense.

But the appellate court vacated that conviction Sept. 14, ruling that both Walters and LaSalle Parish District Judge J.P. Mauffray had erred in allowing Bell to be prosecuted as an adult rather than as a juvenile.

Walters confirmed Thursday that he had decided not to go through with an appeal of the appellate decision and would instead refile the charges against Bell in juvenile court. That decision cleared the way for Bell's release on bond after Mauffray, who last week refused to set bail for Bell, quickly set the new bond hours before the appellate court was expected to rule on a defense request that Mauffray be compelled to release Bell.

Had he been convicted as an adult, Bell could have faced up to 15 years in prison. If convicted as a juvenile, he can be held until he turns 21.

Walters' decision not to press for Bell's prosecution as an adult followed an intervention by Louisiana Gov. Kathleen Blanco, who had declined for months to get directly involved in the Jena case.

On Wednesday, Blanco emerged from a meeting with Sharpton in Baton Rouge and said, "The juvenile court system is where this case belongs."

One of Bell's new defense attorneys, Robert Noel, said he was certain that political pressures were having an effect.

"The tide has been turning since we won that [reversal] on Sept. 14," Noel said. "I think Walters is under tremendous pressure. There's not a single district attorney in the state that doesn't want to see this whole thing go away. They are concerned about jury nullification in their own cases -- they don't want the system to be seen as so unfair that potential jurors are not going to be willing to vote guilty."

U. of I. chancellor to testify Monday before clout commission

Tribune staff reporters

University of Illinois Chancellor Richard Herman, who routinely overruled his admissions staff to admit clouted students, is set to testify Monday before a state commission investigating the school's admissions system.

Herman, who has overseen the state's most prestigious public campus since 2005, often served as an intermediary between the admissions office and powerful patrons seeking to get students in, internal records show. Requests from both university trustees and legislators went to the chancellor, and he met at least twice a year with the school's lobbyists to discuss applicants pushed by lawmakers.

In an interview in May, Herman defended the practice, saying: "We are a public institution and I think we have to answer to the state and that means those who support us."

Well-connected students had their own formal designation in the undergraduate admissions office -- they were known as "Category I" -- and also got special preference in graduate and some professional program admissions, the Chicago Tribune has reported as part of an ongoing investigation. The newspaper has obtained more than 5,000 pages of university documents related to the shadow admissions system, and Herman figured in many of the internal exchanges.

It's unknown how many of the applicants would have gotten in on their own merits, but a batch of documents released last week included an e-mail from Feb. 13, 2007, in which an admissions official described the effects of admitting 11 Category I students, as he had been told to do.

He said the candidates ranked lower than dozens of classmates at such schools as Loyola Academy and Benet Academy who were denied. A well-connected student from Glenbrook North High School jumped over 26 students with better records who were denied or wait-listed, he wrote. A Fenwick applicant got in when 14 higher-ranked classmates did not.

Herman on Monday likely will be asked to explain a 2006 exchange in which he forced the law school to admit an unqualified applicant backed by then- Gov. Rod Blagojevich while seeking a promise from the governor's go-between, university trustee Lawrence Eppley, that five law school graduates would get jobs.

"Straight from the G. My apologies," Herman wrote to then-law school dean Heidi Hurd, who didn't want to accept the applicant. "Larry has promised to work on jobs (5). What counts?"

Herman later that morning sent Eppley an e-mail requesting the jobs. "Larry, I am seeking your assistance in obtaining 5 government or law profession jobs for graduates of our Law School, upon their graduation in May and (potentially) preliminary to their passing the bar. With thanks in advance, Richard."

In another exchange with Hurd in 2005, the dean wrote that an applicant would "almost certainly be denied if the process unfolds as we predict."

Herman replied: "Please admit."

The law school admissions dean, Paul Pless, is expected to testify Monday. Hurd is scheduled to appear before the commission Wednesday.

Other documents released by the university last week show staff questioning the ethics of making exceptions for some applicants.

Jennifer Piercy, the admissions officer responsible for keeping track of Category I students, wrote one such e-mail to Keith Marshall, who oversees undergraduate admissions.

"I don't mean to be difficult," she wrote in May. "I just think we need to think about the process differently than in the past and work on creating/following existing policy to service these students instead of having a whole separate process."

Last month, Marshall testified to the state admissions panel that he expressed his concerns about the process to more senior administrators, but the chancellor had the final word.

"He has different interests he has to juggle," Marshall said.

Quinn's 7-member panel is expected to issue a report next month.

More funds for low-income health care in Cook County

Tribune reporter

Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle announced Thursday she’s boosting the county’s contribution to health care for low-income residents, a day before the county board is scheduled to vote on her 2012 budget.

Preckwinkle stood with a bipartisan group of commissioners to talk about the $2 million increase to the county’s independent health and hospital system. The amount would be split between dental services and primary health care in the suburbs.

“In today’s fragile economy, there are a growing number of suburban families who are stuck in between being eligible for public health insurance programs and having medical insurance,” said Commissioner Timothy Schneider, R-Streamwood. “This effort is a positive step toward making Cook County health care dollars available to all residents of Cook County.”

The money would come from the county’s planned expansion of a tax charged on purchases of titled property including cars and boats. County residents who buy those big-ticket items from private sellers, including on Craigslist or from a neighbor, now would owe a county tax on that purchase under Preckwinkle’s budget proposal. The tax will be 1 percent.

The increase would bump the county’s contribution to the health system’s budget up to $254 million. For months, Preckwinkle and her budget team pressured the system’s leaders to reduce their reliance on taxpayer money to help balance the $915 million health budget.

“With the financial realities of the day…it takes courageous leadership and farsighted, strategic thinking to invest in the health of our residents,” said Dr. Ramanathan Raju, the health system’s new chief executive officer.

Strong showings from rookie Damani Ralph and vets Chris Armas and Damarcus Beasley led the Fire to finish the season as MLS Eastern Conference Champions while also winning the honor of becoming the first MLS team to win both the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup and the MLS Supporters Shield in the same season. Unfortunately, the Fire couldn't pull off the big win in the championship game, losing 4-2 to the San Jose Earthquakes.

I want to make a tar file in a Linux Server using the Chilkat.Tar component. How to connect to Linux machine? There is nothing like ftp.host, ftp.user, frp.password etc.

You would create the TAR archive locally, and then upload it to your server via whichever protocol makes sense for you. If FTP is to be used for the upload, you could use Chilkat.Ftp2.

After losing two out of three to the Oakland A’s over the weekend the St. Louis Cardinals find themselves two games out of first place in the National League Central.  Both Friday night’s loss and yesterday’s loss featured poor pitching performances by Shelby Miller and Jake Westbrook respectively.  Friday night’s game also saw a dominating pitching performance by ageless wonder Bartolo Colon as he kept the Cardinals bats quiet throughout the game.  Saturday saw another outstanding pitching performance by Cardinals ace Adam Wainright and the Cardinals were able to get their bats back on track.  Yesterday’s game was winnable from start to finish and the Cardinals put up enough runs to do so but were not able to get the pitching they needed.

The Cardinals begin a three game series against the Angels in Anaheim on Tuesday.  The Angels have to be the biggest disappointment in baseball as they are desperate to buy a World Series championship title.  They have a humongous payroll having signed Albert Pujols and Josh Hamilton to huge long term contracts and neither one of them has even come close to living up to the price paid for them.  Pujols is unable to play in the field on a regular basis because of nagging foot and knee issues and is limited to DH duties most of the time while Hamilton has been in an unbelievable slump the entire year.  They have played better as of late and this could be an interesting series as the Cardinals have really been struggling against the AL West this year.

Over on the other side of this great state the Kansas City Royals are very slowly getting closer to the AL Central leading Detroit Tigers as the Royals find themselves only four games out of first place after taking two out of three from the Minnesota Twins.  The Royals next twenty games should determine their season as they will be playing teams with above .500 records.  They are still getting excellent pitching and their hitting has gotten better but still tends to be very inconsistent.

Matt Kenseth surged ahead of Jimmie Johnson in the closing seconds to win the rain delayed NASCAR Sprint Cup race in Sparta, KY yesterday.  Johnson had led throughout most of the 400 mile race before relinquishing the lead to Kenseth at the very end.  This is the fourth win for Kenseth this year.  NASCAR makes their annual July 4th weekend return to Daytona on Saturday night.

Wimbledon began the round of 16 for both the men and women today with many of the seeded players having already exited the tournament.  There are no American men in the round of 16 and Serena Williams may be the only American woman in the round of 16.

A new era in the history of Truman State Bulldogs athletics begins today as they are no officially members of the Great Lakes Valley Conference.  As I have stated before in this blog the GLVC is in my opinion a much better fit for Truman and gives them many geographic rivalries they didn’t have before.  As the MIAA continued to expand westward and to the south it became increasingly difficult for Truman to be competitive and for the Truman fan base to be able to follow their Bulldogs on the road.  Now that they are members of the GLVC Truman’s fans will find it much easier to follow the Bulldogs on the road and the road games will primarily be in locations with strong tied to Truman both from an alumni standpoint and from a current student standpoint.  Many of the Truman athletes will get the opportunity to compete in front of their hometown crowds which is something which rarely if ever happened in the MIAA.  The money save on travel alone will help Truman athletics tremendously in the long run as that money can be put back in the program and used for other things.  The move to the GLVC will benefit Truman on many different levels for many years to come and I applaud them for taking what had to be a difficult step after being in the same conference for over 100 years.

We’ll be back on Wednesday with out usual midweek blog.  This blog will also look ahead to the weekend’s sports action as there will be no blog on Friday.  We’ll be back on our normal schedule next week.  Thanks as always for checking out this blog and please take a moment to read the other excellent blogs on this site.

Have a terrific Monday!

Resurrecting this "antique" thread to see if there are more current views or suggestions. My wishes are simply that they be trustworthy, competent, and fair. Close to West Palm Beach would be nice. My needs are simply routine maintenance on a stock Cayman S, so using dealer mechanics would also work.

Not 100% but check into Autosport South. Could be open under a different name now. Kevin Wheeler and Louis Malone owned the shop, but they went to work for the Champion Racing team. I think I heard that Kevin reopend the old shop. I sent an email to a friend asking if he had any contact information for Kevin or any other shop down there.

Aynsley Vandenbroucke – 35 1/2

May 15-18, 2013

Wednesday thru Saturday at 8pm

In 35 1/2, three performers grapple with opposites, which aren’t really opposites. They play with dancing + thinking, writing + reading, analyzing + immersing, performing + being. They are organized by structure, uncreativity, pleasure, modesty, excess, and focus. Life enters in.

The experience of 35 1/2 will be deeply shaped by the contributions of Vandenbroucke’s performance and design collaborators, who were chosen for their own passions, and differences, in relation to intellectual adventuring and full bodied art-making.

Created by Aynsley Vandenbroucke in close collaboration with the performers. Performed by Lauren Grace Bakst, Vicky Shick, and Rebecca Warner. Music by Bobby Previte. Lighting by Nelson R. Downend, Jr. Costumes by Jenny Lai.

35 1/2 was made possible, in part, by an Emergency Grant from the Foundation for Contemporary Arts, Princeton University Faculty Research Grants, residencies at Yaddo, Mount Tremper Arts, Princeton, The Chocolate Factory, and by subsidized rehearsal space at CPR – Center for Performance Research with support from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.

More Authentic Chinese Food in Agoura Hills at Green Onion

Chandavkl | Aug 18, 2012 02:32 PM

It wasn't that long ago that Chowhounders were asking where the Chinese community in the Conejo Valley went to get their Chinese food fix and the answers were "Camarillo" and "Amgen's Cafeteria". However with several newer restaurants like Hot Wok, Szechwan Place and others clearly having a Chinese clientele, the options for Chinese food have greatly improved. The latest addition is Green Onion, which is also the most nondescript of all the eateries. It's located at 30651 Thousand Oaks Blvd., and I surely would have missed it if I didn't have the address. But this is the real deal, and a better option than Szechwan Place for those looking for less spicy dishes. I had the beef roll and the baked garlic fish fillet and both were quite good. Obviously not quite SGV in quality or pricing (probably 50 percent higher) but sure beats the cross-country drive. Warning: Order only from the Chinese Specials menu which is kept behind the counter.

Many a young Christian

Discussion in 'Literature and Poetry' started by Mark_18, Aug 7, 2009.

  1. Many a young Christian

    Many a young Christian
    this attitude have ye:
    I'm a child of God
    No one can touch me.

    Oh, must you then believe
    that God's ways are now yours?
    You've all wisdom; all heavenly favor;
    the right way, always, is yours?

    Must you drag to your level
    the sovereignty of the King?
    For your will be done, lest you
    suffer or lose anything?

    "I have righteousness", You claim.
    "Imparted from my Father."
    Practical imparting is a process Christian.
    To find and see your many sins, won't you bother?

    Great acts and great glory there are in your dreams.
    You make the cross sound... insufficient, it seams.

    You must show works to evidence your salvation you say.
    But works are by carrying that cross you've tossed away.

    Your pride is an abomination to God,
    self-atonement and self-worship, it's intended ends.
    Come down from those high places He says.
    The high hills wherein are leopards and lion's dens.

    Your Savior is meek and humble. Come down and
    with Him, be.
    'Tis not weak or foolish at all; here is divine knowledge, wisdom, and power
    that are His will and gift for thee.
  2. Just one question - did I use that very last word right... Would it be the...

  3. Ah of course. Thanks.
  4. Very nice Mark...you have talents from God that are a blessing, and I'm so glad you recognize that they should be used for the Lord.

    Blessings, Cheri:)

    To demonstrate his superiority over the three Kasyapa brothers, the Buddha performed a series of miracles at Uruvilva. In the most famous miracle, the Buddha subdues a fire-spitting serpent that had inhabited the sacred Fire Temple. The defeated snake is depicted hiding in the Buddha's alms bowl; the figures at left bring water to help extinguish the flames caused by the confrontation.

"The Artist" won three Golden Globes, including "best picture - musical or comedy," and "The Descendants" won two Golden Globes, including "best picture - drama." That was the big news coming out of Sunday night's awards presentation, which defined but did not substantially narrow the race for the Academy Awards next month.

Indeed, everything still seems up for grabs, especially with Martin Scorsese picking up a best director award for his 3D children's film, "Hugo." But then the Hollywood Foreign Press, which awards the Globes, has often been eccentric.

The big acting awards went to this year's Oscar frontrunners: Jean Dujardin, seeming as irrepressible as the fellow he played in "The Artist," accepted the best actor - musical or comedy prize and did a few dance steps, as his wife, actress Alexandra Lamy, recorded it all on her cell phone. Later, George Clooney won best actor - drama for "The Descendants."

Michelle Williams won best actress - musical or comedy for her lovely performance as Marilyn Monroe in "My Week With Marilyn" (even though it's neither a musical nor a comedy) and Meryl Streep won best actress - drama for her uncanny, brilliant work in "The Iron Lady." Months ago, even before their respective films came out, they were, on paper, the best actress favorites. They remain so going into the home stretch.

But this was a unique year for the Golden Globes, in that audiences tuned in as much for emcee Ricky Gervais as to see the stars or find out the winners. Yet despite the buildup and the anticipation generated by his behavior last year, in which he insulted everyone and ruffled the feathers of several presenters, Gervais was tame. At the start of the night, he asked the audience if they felt scared, as if taunting them with what he might say. But he soon showed that they had nothing to fear. Not only was he restrained, but on the few occasions he did let himself go, he wasn't particular funny.

At one point, he referred to Elton John as the "Queen of Pop" and introduced Madonna (who presented the foreign language award to Iran's "A Separation") by alluding to her old song, "Like a Virgin," then clearing his throat and rolling his eyes. In response, Madonna said, "If I'm still like a virgin, Ricky, then why don't you come over and do something about it? I haven't kissed a girl in a few years." In the context of both the night and Gervais' remark, it was like killing a fly with a nuclear bomb.

Midway into the show, it was clear what was happening: Gervais's name had been used to sell the show, but his under-use as emcee had been built into the program's design, perhaps as a way of guaranteeing top celebrity participation. Never doubt the power of Hollywood royalty protecting themselves. Hence, Gervais introduced few presenters and disappeared often, for up to 30 minutes at a time.

For Gervais, it was not quite a public neutering, but it was close enough - so perhaps it was no coincidence that there were an inordinate number of penis jokes being bandied about on Sunday. Clooney, in his acceptance, took time out to note Michael Fassbender's ability to play golf without a club, and Seth Rogen announced that he was trying to conceal a "massive erection" while standing next to Kate Beckinsale. There were more jokes like that, but those were the funny ones.

The Golden Globes are a strange, mostly public, but maintaining just the whiff and feeling of a party, so that the stars' public and private selves seem to overlap - and in ways that are uncomfortable. The humor has a touch of vulgarity, and so does the clothing, and for every healthy face there is at least one that looks seedy or lifted. Indeed, to watch the Globes on a high definition TV is a decent approximation of what it's like to meet these people in the flesh.

Sidney Poitier received the night's biggest ovation, when he announced Morgan Freeman as the winner of the Globes' Life Achievemet honor, the Cecil B. DeMille award.

Christopher Plummer won best supporting actor for his fine work in "Beginners" (which opened this year's San Francisco International Film Festival), and Octavia Spencer won best supporting actress for her work in "The Help," a surprise win against strong competition that included Berenice Bejo ("The Artist").

The Golden Globes also give television awards, lots of them: Kelsey Grammer was named best actor in a television drama for his performance as a powerful Chicago mayor in Starz's "Boss." Three actresses - Jessica Lange, Laura Dern and Kate Winslet - who had won previous Golden Globes for movie roles, won Sunday for their TV work. Lange won best supporting actress in a TV series for her role in FX's new "American Horror Story." Dern was named best actress in a TV comedy for her role in HBO's "Enlightened," while Winslet won best actress in a TV miniseries or movie for her portrayal of the title character in HBO's "Mildred Pierce."

Showtime's new "Homeland," in which Claire Danes plays a CIA agent investigating terrorist threats, won the Globe for best TV drama. PBS' "Downton Abbey" won for best TV miniseries or movie, beating out three nominees from HBO. Idris Elba, who plays the detective John Luther in BBC America's "Luther," won the Globe for best actor in a TV movie or miniseries.

Some of the state's larger auto insurers are raising rates statewide, citing losses and new liability limits implemented at the start of the year.

Many of the increases are the result, in part, of new minimum liability rules that require Texas drivers to carry polices that cover up to $30,000 per person for bodily injury, up to $60,000 for bodily injury per accident, and up to $25,000 for property damage per accident, said Mark Hanna of the Insurance Council of Texas, an industry trade group.

"Companies weren't allowed to change rates before the new requirements went into effect Jan. 1," he said, "so a lot of what you're seeing is companies adjusting rates to factor that in."

Jerry Johns, a spokesman for trade group Southwestern Insurance Information Service, also cited rising fees for hospital and physician services related to automobile accidents.

"The increases are going to be modest but necessary to pay for these increasing costs," he said.

The August Consumer Price Index report from the U.S. Department of Labor shows medical costs increased 3.3 percent over the previous year. That compares with an overall CPI increase of 3.8 percent.

Some policyholders, including many insured by State Farm, will see decreases, a sign that the auto insurance market remains competitive, Johns added. That means consumers can benefit from shopping around and asking about discounts, he said.

At least four insurers have implemented rate changes statewide this year:

Allstate hiked rates 3 percent for 350,000 customers in its Allstate Fire and Casualty unit. The increase, which will mean an additional $3 in average monthly premium, was the first increase in three years, Allstate spokesman Joe McCormick said.

USAA recently filed notice with state regulators of an auto rate hike averaging 8 percent statewide. It will apply to about 12 percent of its 611,000 Texas policyholders and adds about $7 a month to the average premium starting in December as policies renew, USAA spokesman Paul Berry said. The increase averages 8 percent in Harris County as well.

Farmers Insurance increased rates 3 percent rate in May for new customers and mid-July for renewals. The company did not provide a breakdown by county.

State Farm, the state's largest auto insurer, plans to raise rates upon renewal starting Oct. 3 for customers with its State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Co. Statewide, the company's average rates are not changing, but they will in some areas. For example, Harris County customers will see average changes range from a 1.9 percent decrease to a 0.2 percent increase.

"These changes will enhance State Farm's competitiveness on price and allow our policyholders' premiums to more accurately reflect their coverage types and claims experiences," said Kevin Davis, a spokesman for State Farm, which has about 3 million auto customers statewide.

Pampanga’s Best, Indeed!

I’m a sucker for food.  I love eating although it doesn’t quite show now because of the drastic diet and fitness regimen that I had to go through 2 years ago wherein I lost 50lbs in roughly 4 months (185lbs. down to 135lbs.)

It takes a substantial amount of effort to stay fit.  In fact, GETTING FIT and STAYING FIT are two different beasts altogether.  It’s harder to maintain weight than to lose weight, in my opinion.

But that doesn’t mean I don’t indulge in a lot good food every now and then.  I have to.  It keeps me sane.

That being said, just last week my wife and I were invited by good friend, Ferds Bondoy, and Electrolux Philippines to go on a food tour all around the province of Pampanga.  Yes.  Pampanga… a province known for their rich heritage of wonderful (and sometimes exotic) dishes.

Man arrested for multiple burglaries

Boca Raton, FL – On Friday, August 24, Boca Raton Police officers responded to a burglary to a residence that occurred to an apartment at 2929 South Ocean Boulevard.

Officers met with the resident who had just returned from vacation. The victim told officers that when she returned home, she discovered numerous items from inside her apartment were stolen and subsequently sold at a local antique shop. The victim and the antique shop employee were able to determine a friend of hers, Paul Rogers, had sold her belongings. The victim told officers she gave Rogers, whom she met about six weeks ago, a key to her apartment, in case of an emergency. Detectives confirmed with the antique store employee that Rogers was the person who sold him the victim’s belongings.

On Wednesday, August 29, detectives spoke with Rogers, who was in the Palm Beach County Jail on unrelated charges. Rogers admitted to entering the victim’s home while she was out of town. He also said he took and sold her belongings.

Detectives also linked Rogers to a burglary to a Mobil gas station that occurred on July 18. At about 2:00 a.m., officers found several windows of the gas station, located at 1 East Camino Real, smashed out. The scene was processed and several latent prints were recovered. One print was later identified as belonging to Paul Rogers. On Wednesday, August 29, detectives also asked Rogers about the burglary to the Mobil gas station. Rogers admitted to breaking into the gas station to obtain alcohol.

Detectives charged Rogers with one count of burglary for the Mobil gas station and burglary, grand theft, and dealing stolen property for the crime at 2929 S. Ocean Blvd.

Pictures Tank examples Library Cichlid Forum Photo Contest
Tanganyikan tank

Until recently my 55 gallon was used as a South American themed set up, with Angelfish as the main occupants. About a month ago I started reading about African Lake cichlids, I read various titles and decided that I'd like to give them a go. At first it was a toss up between Malawi and Tanganyika, and I spent many hours agonising over which to choose, then I came across some text concerning a fish called "Neolamprologus Multifasciatus" I was enthralled, here was a fish that spent its life in and around a snail shell!!!!! Well, that was it, I had to have this fish, so a Tanganyikan tank it was.

First of all I checked up on what sort of tank my fish would need, Well to cut a long story short ROCKS, ROCKS and more ROCKS (And snail shells of course!) I took a look round my local fish shop at the types of rock available and I was horrified at the prices, how could they charge this much!!! Well, I wasn't going to pay those prices so I took a trip to the seaside and began filling up buckets with pebbles and large rocks. I then had to clean them, so I "borrowed" a large stewing pot from my mothers kitchen and (after scrubbing the rocks with a wire brush) boiled them all, this took a LONG, LONG time,

While I was doing this I started to think of what to do with my existing fish, it was obvious that they would not be able to survive in my new set up!! I phoned my local shop and thankfully he agreed to 'take them off my hands" and give me a credit note, And as a bonus he also had the Tanganyikan's that I wanted (more about them later). I took out all my plants and discarded them (no room for them in this tank!!) Then my bogwood, I removed this and put it away safe in a cupboard (never know when it might come in handy) For my Fish I half filled a 5 gallon bucket with water from the tank and (using the two net method) proceeded to catch all the fish and place them in it, The only fish which I didn't place in the bucket was my Gold Nugget plec, I couldn't bear to part wit him, so I put him upstairs in my little amazon tank (with keyholes and various tetras).

Then I got to the fun bit, Putting the rocks into the tank, this was scary, one slip and bye bye tank!!! I piled all the sand from the back of the tank to the front of the tank and placed a row of LARGE rocks along the base (using polystyrene to cushion them) then I pushed the sand back and began stacking the smaller rocks on top of the "foundation" (foundations are useful because my shelldwellers like to dig, and this stops them from collapsing the rock pile). I built my rocks up to about a third the height of the tank and added my "escargot" snail shells all along the front, the more shells the better. Then I grabbed my bucket of fish and went off to do a bit of trading, I managed to get most of the fish on my list;

3 julidochromis regani

4 lamprologus brichardi

4 lamprologus leleupi

But the shelldwellers were going to have to wait (My LFS didn't stock them) I took my fish home and (after floating them in the bag for 10 minutes) added them to the tank. They all seemed to settle in quite well, so I turned the tank lights on and added a small feed of live brineshrimp. (they loved it) A couple of days later I heard about a pair of multis. which my Lfs had got hold of, So I went out and purchased them, However I was slightly worried about adding them to the tank as I had heard that any newcomers were immediately attacked!! So to counter this I rearranged the rockwork a bit to disorient the resident fish and left the lights off while I added them. When I released them from their bag the little fish shot straight down and in to one of the snail shells, they stayed here for a couple of days after which they got a little courage and started venturing out, They are feisty little fish and are well able to hold their own against the larger ones. Since then I have added 3 more multis all with no trouble and the tank seems to be doing well. (My first pair of Multis. have dug a large pit and are displaying courtship behaviour)

PS. You may be wondering why I haven't mentioned water chemistry, Well, as I live close to my Lfs our water has always been similar (neutral) and as the fish in his shop were doing fine, I saw no reason to change mine. (If it aint broke don't fix it)

However for a general guide, the pH of a Tanganyikan tank should be around 8-8.5

Thank you for sharing. I came across 2112jefferson too while treasure hunting. I was amazed at his inventory. If he is a picker that does not know a lot about guitars is hard to believe. I wonder if this is a large sell off of a private collection? I guess we will see, if more guitars keep getting posted. Regardless, definitely some nice stuff. Enjoy.

Thank you Noisemaker for your comment. There is definitely Gold in them thar hills. LOL Years ago, I found the Fiddle-edge resonator I now own, as a "buy it now" auction 2 o'clock in the morning, when I got up because I could not sleep. It was up for the amazing low price of $1200. I felt I had no choice but to buy. Sometimes when you find those treasures, it can be quite stressful too. Should I buy...should I let it go...Enjoy.

Thank you Noisemaker. I will share some info with you. I played about 25 to 30 hours over the week. I made slightly less than $20 per hour. I sold 10 CDs too. ($10 each) So, that is $600 to $700 for enjoying myself on vacation. This is about the same I make on the platforms of NYC. Not too shabby. People are usually generous. When shooting videos, many times the audience stays back. So it is not an accurate account of what really takes place. Enjoy.

Thank you Noisemaker for your comment. You think my performance was HOT? Boy, I think it was Wednesday, the temperature was super intense. It was so hot there was no one playing on the street that day. But I will take heat over rain anyday while I am on vacation. LOL Enjoy.

Last year, director Oren Moverman wowed audiences with his film The Messenger. Winner of quite a few awards and earning Oscar nominations for Best Original Screenplay and Best Supporting Actor, the film was seen as one of the best of 2009. Fortunately for Moverman, when you make a quality film people tend to want to work with you, and that's exactly what's happening now.

Variety is reporting that Steve Buscemi, Anne Heche, Cynthia Nixon, Sigourney Weaver and Robin Wright have all joined the cast of Rampart, Moverman's sophomore directing effort. Set to begin shooting on October 25th, Woody Harrelson stars in the film about the scandal in the Rampart Division of the L.A.P.D. in the 1990s in which officers were found to be stealing from the evidence lockers and framing gang members. A fictional account of the events, Harrelson plays an officer caught up in turpitude who has to clear his name. Ben Foster and Ice Cube are also currently attached.

The Messenger was a very small film (made for under $7 million) with an even smaller distribution (the film never made it into more than 50 theaters). With a cast like this, the film is bound to turn some heads. This will be one to look out for in late 2011.

Movie Review

  • Ali review
Ali was the greatest boxer of all time... or so they tell me. More than just the greatest boxer, he was perhaps one of the most dynamic and controversial sports figures in American history. However, unlike that commanding man, Michael Mann’s Ali sputters and falters, where Ali the man never would’ve.

Ali stars Will Smith in the story of the man himself. Ali really only covers a small portion of Cassius Clay/Ali’s life, in a period between winning his first heavy-weight championship, up until he regained it fighting George Foreman in the Don King promoted “Rumble in the Jungle.” Granted, this is probably the most turbulent and exciting era in the life of Ali, however it would seem to me there is much more to this particular boxing great than a scant ten years of struggle against the draft, racism, and Joe Fraser. The man has Parkinson’s for god’s sake! But Mann’s Ali will have none of that. Mann’s Muhammad is invincible, a hero, a god, unstoppable by disease or failure.

Perhaps this isn’t such a bad thing, since even as is, the film frequently drags on suffering through long lifeless sequences bereft of dialogue and instead replaced by catchy period specific tunes. Sure, Smith slams home with heretofore unknown acting talent, displaying an almost uncanny mastery of the real Ali’s mannerisms and speech patterns, but there’s never quite enough of it. Mann doesn’t let Smith talk enough. For the most part the film is a series of montages, interspersed with knockdown brawls and some delightfully entertaining banter between Ali and the brilliantly played Howard Cosell (Jon Voight).

It’s a lock that Will Smith is this film’s strength, but Mann seems totally unable to capitalize on it. You’d think a film called Ali would feature a lot of the boxer it’s named for, but the first half spends more time dancing around him than zeroing in on the inner man. It’s not until the film is halfway over that someone in the editing room woke up and realized we needed more than boxing and Malcolm X to legitimize the movie’s title. But even that reverie is short lived once Ali reaches Zaire, the movie once again lapsing into entertaining and irrelevant musical interludes.

Even though Smith, despite bulking up, still looks like a pretty light-weight version of Muhammad, and even though Mann seems totally incapable of truly capturing the character he’s supposed to be analyzing; a bit of Ali still shines through. His glory, his imperfections, his utter failure, all here in little pieces. The real losers here are the Nation of Islam, clearly depicted as villains for brainwashing Ali and stripping him of his money and his life.

The boxing to is brilliant. So well done that Mann doesn’t even bother with the “here comes a hero” musical score so common in modern sports film. While a bit of heroic trumpeting might have been nice, Smith’s heavyweight sparring does just fine on its own.

Ali wasn’t a smart man… most people would have figured out the Nation of Islam was only using them for their cash after they kicked them in the gutter the first time. But that’s ok, because Ali isn’t a particularly smart film. There are little flashes of true directorial brilliance, and consistently amazing acting from Will Smith, Jamie Foxx, and John Voight. But, where Muhammad floated like a butterfly and stung like a bee, Mann’s Ali trips on a chair, knocks over a case full of very expensive china, and then falls face first into a very large banana cream pie. Chevy Chase would be proud.

FX is going into promotion overdrive. And, to be fair, they are doing a pretty fantastic job of marketing their promising new Thursday night comedy line-up. Well, minus one key piece of the puzzle, or so we thought. While wrapped up in the tease released for two of the networks' best returning comedies - Louie and Wilfred - not to mention glimpses at the obviously much hyped new show starring Charlie Sheen, Anger Management - these four first looks at Russell Brand's Brand X sort of fell by the wayside.

Previously operating under the title Strangely Uplifting, Brand X is FX's first foray into late night original programming but by the looks of it, the series that focuses on the British comedian's off-kilter take on current events will be anything but a traditional late night talk show. He's got the monologuing part down pat but the rest of the usual scheduled programming that accompanies said shows - the skits, guests and/or musical acts - are not part of this project. Brand X is simply six, half-hour episodes of Russell Brand's musings in front of a live audience. Basically, a protracted comedy special. Take a look and be teased.

Practicing A Television Show

Benevolence & Joy

Porn In A Library

Revolution Against Us

The series looks to be shot in beautiful, high contrast black and white (unless that is just for the promos, but I don't believe that's the case), which is just another of the many ways that Brand X already comes across as very distinct from your average late-night fare. Also worth noticing, is the level of audience interaction which will apparently be a large portion of the program each week. I think Brand is an absolutely charming and funny fella, and even though I am not an admirer of his early work on British TV with MTV UK, he's been great in everything I've seen him in since Forgetting Sarah Marshall.

Brand X premieres on June 28 at 11 p.m. on FX. It stars Russell Brand.

What's in your food? Tech will tell!

What's in your food? Tech will tell!

Technology is empowering consumers with knowledge about what's really in the food we eat.

People are getting more interested in what they're eating, but reading a food label will tell you only so much. Some foods -- fresh fruits and vegetables, for example -- don't have ingredient labels.

In a perfect world, food labels would tell you unambiguously and transparently what's inside the package -- what you're really eating. Unfortunately, today's food labels tell only part of the story.

The truth is that there are some ingredients that food makers are not required to list on labels. In other cases, the wording is ambiguous to the point of being meaningless. For example, labels may say "natural color" or "vegetable oil" or "natural flavor." But they don't tell you whether that color comes from a flower or a beetle, or whether the oil is sunflower oil or palm oil (the latter a culprit in deforestation). And nobody knows what "natural flavor" means.

Even where food labels do provide data, it's difficult to put that data into context, or even understand what's being said. For example, if a label says 120mg of sodium per serving, is that too much?

The public's awareness of problems with food comes from a variety of sources. For example, some learned from the documentary Wine From Here that it's legal to add up to 200 specific ingredients to wine, including weird stuff like dimethyl dicarbonate, which chemically sterilizes the wine, or even fish bladders, without having to list them on the label. A bottle of wine can have dozens of strange substances while the label falsely lists "grapes" as the only ingredient.

As with so many things, a bounteous number of standard food ingredients are now manufactured in China, with limited oversight or knowledge about how those ingredients are sourced or made. Chinese food manufacturing is so problematic it has its own Wikipedia page.

Stories about food adulteration abound, from so-called "honey laundering" to counterfeit alcohol.

Demand for better food labeling resulted last week in a new law that requires food producers selling genetically modified organisms (GMO) to label the packaging with that information. The U.S. Department of Agriculture has two years to work out the details, but the outcome will be that GMO-containing food products will be labeled with either a verbal identification, a symbolic one or a QR code, with the food producer choosing which kind of identification to make.

This is great news for the beleaguered QR code, by the way. It's probably going to be a major way that GMO foods are labeled, which gives apps that support QR codes a new reason to exist.

One approach to tech that informs about food is to build massive databases of knowledge about foods and food products.

The Sage Project is an initiative by designer and developer Sam Slover. The idea is to create food ingredient labels in the cloud, which can be accessed on the web or via a mobile app (the web version is now live and the mobile apps are coming soon, according to Slover). (You can listen to my interview with Slover here.)

Sage gets food information mainly from the manufacturers. Interestingly, Slover said companies were initially reluctant to provide the information but recently have been clamoring to do so. Separately, the food industry is reportedly discovering that unless food companies provide ingredient information, the public will seek it out from more reliable sources offering more transparency.

Sage lists food types (for example, "mandarin oranges") and food products (such as Theo Chocolate's Organic Fair Trade Orange (70%) Dark Chocolate Bar) in its nearly 20,000-item food database.

When you search for an item, you get nutritional information, fitness information (for example, an estimate of how much exercise you would need to burn off the calories) and, crucially, personalization. For example, if you tell Sage upon signup that you're a vegan, following the paleo diet or don't want any GMOs, Sage will warn and inform you with every search.

When possible, Sage will also tell you the source of the food or ingredient.

Slover told me that the mobile apps will take advantage of bar and QR codes to automate product searches.

The company also intends to explore food testing so its ingredient database reflects what's actually in the products, rather than what the food makers claim or what the labels list.

Another option, an iOS and Android app called IPIIT, also uses the bar code to call up information about food products. You can personalize it by adding specific information about any allergies or dietary restrictions or preferences. By scanning the product, you get a green light if it's OK to eat. Nice!

Other companies offer similar apps, and they often are helpful. But what consumers really need is a way to directly detect or test what's in the food that's right in front of them.

Handheld scanners that detect food properties

A $199 product called the Nima is a handheld scanner that can detect gluten in food.

To use it, you put some of the food in question into a disposable capsule and place the capsule into the triangular Nima scanner. Within two minutes, you get a ruling on whether any gluten is present in the food.

Another scanner called Tellspec costs $499 and uses a laser to evaluate food ingredients. If you zap a food with Tellspec and wait about 30 seconds, you'll get an estimate of calories, carbohydrates, protein, fats, fiber and glycemic load. The associated app also tries to alert you to any known allergens it detected.

Yet another product called the SCiO, which the company calls the "world's first pocket molecular sensor," and which should ship in December, can theoretically perform a range of feats, from detecting nutrients in foods (and logging them for you in an app) to checking the amount of water in the leaves of your houseplants. The SCiO scanner will cost $249. In its current incarnation, the SCiO product isn't quite ready for the consumer public, but the company promises additional apps that will make it more useful for shoppers.

The trouble with scanners

This scanning technology is promising. Even the first generation of scanners now hitting the market can already provide some insights.

But the biggest problem with the scanners is that you can't scan most foods in their entirety. For example, you can detect the ingredients in, say, ice cream because all the ingredients are mixed together evenly. But you can't scan a sandwich or a chocolate chip cookie or a salad.

You also can't scan products that are inside packages; you can't scan the ice cream in the store without opening the lid, which is surely a shopping faux pas.

Clearly, the ultimate food consumer product would be a hybrid of everything I've mentioned in this column -- a food scanner and a bar code and QR code scanner backed by a massive, detailed database that combines data from food producers, crowdsourced data, and data from independent organizations that do testing on food products.

Until then, people will have to get by on their own, downloading or buying the apps or scanners they can and piecing together the truth about what's really in the food we eat.

Still, today's new technology is far better than yesterday's reliance on incomplete, ambiguous food labels.

For a commercial organisation, increasing the number of visitors to a website is seen as a good thing. It means consumers are visiting to browse and purchase goods and services, or to click on ads, driving revenue, profits and growth. But does the same dynamic apply to government websites?

Think about it a different way. Would we be impressed if a government boasted about printing additional paper forms to keep up with demand? Or that a government call centre was taking on more staff to service the volume of calls being received? Or that this year a bumper number of letters had been sent and received, requiring an expansion in government post rooms across the country?

These are generally indicators not of success, but of poor service design. They signal government transactions so complex, broken and exasperating that they necessitate multiple, often repeated, interactions between government and citizens. Every pound consumed by these pointless frictional overheads is another pound stolen from the frontline. And yet bizarrely we see governments boasting of how their websites are attracting increasing numbers of visitors - missing the very point of what public service design thinking should mean.

The ever-growing use of government websites is a possible indicator of public services that have merely substituted paper forms with their online doppelgangers - with the result that citizens and businesses end up forced online to fill in forms using a keyboard and mouse instead of a pen and paper. Yet the need for website interactions should be reducing dramatically as services are designed to be truly digital - not increasing.

The change of medium - from paper to websites - was only ever meant to be an interim cost-cutting phase, not a destination. No-one voluntarily wants to wrestle with a government form, whether it's online or on paper. In an ideal world, government services will be so well-designed they will become frictionless: citizens and businesses should only rarely need to go online, mainly to check on and maintain their personal data.

After 20-plus years spent in a Groundhog Day cycle of migrating and re-presenting existing forms and processes online, it's time for governments to reject this outdated 1990s web-centric theology and adopt a digital era one, promoting data-enabled service design. Sure, an online form may cost less than paper. But the significant benefits of digitising government don't come from putting services online as a paper-substitution exercise, but by fundamentally rethinking their design to make them seamless, invisible and efficient.

Take the UK's Real Time Information and Universal Credit. If they eventually deliver their original vision a whole skip load of Victorian HMRC and DWP forms and interactions will become obsolete, reducing the entirely unnecessary frictional processes currently massaged via websites, call centres and face-to-face meetings. Government websites should be challenged and where possible obsoleted in the same way as the paper they originally displaced.

The true benchmark of how well governments are genuinely moving into the digital age is not the growing use of online forms - but the eradication of the frictional, emotional and social costs associated with poorly designed services.

Help... baby Shower Ideas

Kat - posted on 05/11/2011 ( 1 mom has responded )

Hi, Im throwing a baby Shower for a friend, Found out today she is having a BOY, So any ideas for themes and games would be of a great Help.

Jessie - posted on 05/15/2011

When I threw a shower for a friend, I made a word search online (can't remember the website) with all baby items, i.e. "pacifier", "bottle", etc. The person to find all the words first won a prize. I also got a large box, taped it closed, then cut a hole in the side, just big enough to get your hand through. I put common baby items in it, like a pacifier, diaper, plastic keys, etc. You take one person at a time into another room, give them a certain amount of time (I did a minute) and see how many objects they can correctly identify just by feeling them. The one who guessed the most won a prize. My friend had a girl, but if she'd had a boy, I was going to do a jungle theme, with blues and greens.
Keri's idea is good too!!!

Keri - posted on 05/15/2011

A game that comes to mind: Buy a bunch of baby food, take the labels off (number each label and jar so you know what goes with what), and have everyone guess what's in the jars. The food goes to the mom.

I would check out this site or just google baby shower games/themes. It'll help more than I have.

My 6 year old son is in kindergarten in a small town. He went to 4K last year throught the same system. He has been bullied on the bus by 3 girls since last year coming home and complaining to me almost daily. I complained to the school repeatedly and found out months later that they were still having him sit by these girls on the bus. He eventually snapped one day and hit one of the girls and got kicked off the bus and sent home to me. None of the girls got in trouble and had they moved him or them on the bus none of this would have happened. Now this year he is having problems with the same girl, (who he is still next to on the bus) and he comes home even crying sometimes. The principal is the same as the last school and every time I talk to her she assures me she will look into it but that these are good girls. That may be but why are they allowed to bully my child. He has also been knocked down on the playground and kicked in the stomache and I never heard anything back about that either. Don't know what to do, I feel like the principal favors girls. My daughter got into some trouble on the bus (she is only 4) and I found that out at conferences not by the principal. I don't know what to do.

Barbara - posted on 11/21/2013

That principal has a boss. I think it is time to communicate to a much wider circle on this issue.
