Tag | v1.1.0
1.1.0rc2 Released
We are pleased to announce the availability of OWA 1.1.0rc2. This one took a while due to the integration of object caching and a new integration plugin for tracking Gallery2 (http://gallery.menalto.com) based sites. Quick summary of new or changed features in this release includes:
- Object Caching. OWA will now cache objects in an attempt to avoid hitting the database. This should speed up logging requests quite a bit.
- Gallery2 Integration. OWA can now be used to track Gallery2 based photo/media sites.
- Installs like a regular Gallery2 plugin
- Reports and admin interface are accessible via Gallery2's admin screens
- Tracks views of all albums, photos and other media items
- owa-data Folder. All OWA or user generated content is now housed in a single folder. logs/ directory has been relocated here as well.
- Lots of bug fixes:
- set timeout on fetching news from openwebanalytics.com
- Fixed a bug in click tracking in IE7 (thanks to Mark Kaplun)
- Fixed SVN issue with version not being set properly
- Updated PEAR::LOG
- Introduced jquery as an include for UI re-factoring that will come in the near future.
- fixed a bug where WordPress feed tracking was broken due to WP2.2.x
- re-factored mediawiki plugin to use factory method to init owa
- Standalone Installer now no longer requires that the initial admin user password by set via e-mail. Instead it can now be set on the final page of the installer.
- Updated browscap database
- Mediawiki plugin no longer logs admin users.
- Re-factored Error logging – brand new error logging and debug class.
- Re-factored configuration overrides – this release changes the way that configuration overrides work by introducing a new set of config-file based overrides that are now applied last. This should help in a number of situation where you can different instances of OWA to play different roles.
This release re-organizes things a bit so I recommend a clean install of the files. There are no database schema changes so you should just be able to delete everything in the OWA directory (except for your conf/owa-config.php file) and just copy the new files into the old directory. SVN users can simply "SVN switch" to the 1.1.0rc2 tag directory and then "SVN up" to the latest release.This is a release candidate so please be sure to report any bugs to the mailing lists (trac is still closed unfortunately).

Your 7-Step Plan for Curing Headaches and Migraines
Step 2: Track Your Pain
Pinpointing the triggers of a throbbing head isn't easy. That's why experts suggest keeping a pain journal for at least a month or two. Include the days and times your head hurts, but also jot down severity and how long the pain lasts, where you feel it, your stress level and any pain medications you are taking. And don't just note the major ones. "Every ache counts—even a mild one," says Audrey Halpern, M.D., director of Manhattan Headache and Neurology and clinical assistant professor of neurology at New York University School of Medicine. Share this diary with your doctor to help determine what factors are setting off your headaches or migraines.
Step 3: Watch Your Diet for Potential Triggers
Though certain foods like aged cheese or cured meats are often linked to migraines, experts say food is rarely the sole culprit. "Often, foods are triggers only when they are combined with other things: You're worried about layoffs at work, your parents keep asking when you're going to come visit, and your sick kid kept you up all night. You then had a hot dog at lunch, and now your head's killing you," says Dr. Halpern. Still, limit your consumption of potential offenders like caffeinated or artificially sweetened beverages, citrus fruits, sourdough breads, and foods high in additives, including those containing monosodium glutamate. You should also stick to a low-fat diet. Research suggests that cutting back on dietary fat significantly reduces the number and severity of migraines.
Step 4: Find Healthy Releases for Stress
Almost all the women—97%—who participated in a 2009 Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine study blamed stress for their tension headaches, which are brought on when muscles in your neck and scalp contract. (Sleeping in an awkward position and logging long hours in front of the computer are common culprits.) Not surprisingly, stress is also the cause of many migraines. Release tension and reduce head pain by incorporating relaxation exercises, yoga, deep breathing, and physical activity into your everyday routine.
Step 5: Get Help for Fluctuating Hormones
Women prone to migraines are more likely to have them during their menstrual periods than at any other time—and often the pain is particularly intense, says Elizabeth Loder, M.D., chief of the headache and pain division at the department of neurology at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston. Because sensitivity to falling estrogen levels is often to blame, taking oral contraceptives containing estrogen that stop your periods may help. If taking birth control pills doesn't improve symptoms or worsens your migraines, try 360 milligrams of magnesium daily starting on day 15 of your cycle and continuing until the onset of your period.
Step 6: Go Easy on Pain Pills
In some circumstances when you're using meds too often, headaches actually start to occur even more frequently; these are known as boomerang or rebound headaches. "When used in excess, either over-the-counter or prescription painkillers may interfere with pain regulators in the brain," explains Dr. Halpern. You'll need to stop the meds for a few weeks, which can be difficult, so talk to your doctor about substituting a different type of treatment or medication. The good news: 45% of participants in a recent study reported fewer headaches and migraines two months after reducing their reliance on pain pills.
Step 7: Catch Enough (but Not Too Many) Zzz's
If your head pounds after a late night or after you've slept in, you probably suffer from what's called weekend headaches. Nearly 60% of women with tension headaches who participated in a 2009 study said too little or too much sleep can leave them in agony. Migraine sufferers are equally susceptible, with fatigue considered a top trigger. "In people prone to headaches and migraines, the brain may respond to changes in sleep patterns by switching on pain centers," says Merle Diamond, M.D., associate director of the Diamond Headache Clinic in Chicago and a National Headache Foundation board member.
Oversleeping also throws your entire body clock off schedule: You're hungry because breakfast's delayed and you're going through caffeine withdrawal because you haven't had your morning coffee. You'll enjoy more pain-free weekends and vacation days by going to bed and getting up at the same time every day. And though it may be tempting to crawl into bed when your head pounds, that same study suggests this often backfires: Napping makes it more difficult to fall asleep at night, upping your chances of developing another headache. What you should aim for is seven hours (eight or nine is even better) of shut-eye every night.
Treatment for Tension Headaches or Mild Migraines
—Anti-inflammatories: OTC nonsteroidal anti-inflammatories (NSAIDs) like ibuprofen (Motrin) or naproxen sodium (Aleve) are considered the first line of treatment for head pain.
—Combination meds: The painkilling properties of acetaminophen and aspirin work best when combined with caffeine (try Excedrin Migraine). But be careful: Combo meds are more likely to cause rebound headaches.
—Antidepressants: Daily tricyclic antidepressants, such as Pamelor, prevent head pain by stabilizing the levels of serotonin in your brain.
You may need to test out several remedies before finding the most effective one.
Treatment for Severe Migraines
—Triptans: Take these prescription pain medications (Imitrex, Maxalt) at the first sign of a migraine to dull pain-processing signals to the brain. Triptans narrow heart arteries, so don't take them if you're at risk for heart disease.
—Anti-seizure meds: Taken daily, these preventive drugs (Topamax, Depakote) ward off migraines by soothing the central nervous system.
—Heart medications: Beta blockers and calcium-channel blockers relieve stress on the heart and blood vessels and have been shown to prevent migraines when taken daily.
You may need to test out several remedies before finding the most effective one.
Alternative Therapies for Headaches and Migraines
—Biofeedback: Studies suggest this relaxation technique can reduce headaches or migraines by up to 60%—or nearly 80% when you combine it with medications like beta blockers.
—Acupuncture: A review of 22 acupuncture studies found that headache and migraine sufferers treated with acupuncture had fewer headaches than those taking pain medications.
—Botox: About 75% of migraine sufferers in a University of California, San Francisco, study were migraine-free for four to six months after receiving Botox injections.
You may need to test out several remedies before finding the most effective one.

Was Mitt Romney 'one of the first' to endorse Marco Rubio?
The battle for Hispanic voters in the Republican primary is turning ugly, and U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio is trying to tamp down some of the rancor.
Rubio stepped in when Newt Gingrich went so far as to compare Republican rival Mitt Romney with -- prepare yourselves! -- Charlie Crist.
"We discovered last night that Mitt Romney has picked up Charlie Crist's campaign people," said Gingrich at a campaign stop in St. Petersburg on Jan. 24, 2012. "That sort of tells you everything you needed to know about this contest."
Gingrich's mention of Crist drew yelps and boos from the crowd at the Tick Tock Restaurant. Florida Republicans remember well that Crist left the party in 2010 to run as an independent for the U.S. Senate.
The race between Gingrich and Romney has been inflamed by Spanish-language radio ads, web ads on the Drudge Report website and news reports on the conservative website Newsmax that said Romney was using Crist's former campaign staff.
Rubio was concerned enough about the attacks that he released a statement the same day. (Rubio has said he will not endorse in the race.)
"Mitt Romney is no Charlie Crist," Rubio said. "Romney is a conservative, and he was one of the first national Republican leaders to endorse me. He came to Florida, campaigned hard for me and made a real difference in my race."
Rubio's comments caught our attention, because our memory was that Romney endorsed relatively late in the race for U.S. Senate. We decided to dig into the archives to see if Romney was in fact "one of the first national Republican leaders" to endorse Rubio.
To understand the full web of endorsements at work here, we'll go back to the Republican presidential primary of 2008. Romney, the former governor of Massachusetts, was then challenging U.S. Sen. John McCain and former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee for the nomination.
In that race, Rubio endorsed Huckabee relatively early, in 2007. (Rubio was then speaker of the Florida House.)
Crist, meanwhile, waited until just before the Florida primary in early 2008 to endorse McCain. McCain beat Romney in Florida and went on to win the nomination.
In 2009, Rubio was widely considered a long-shot against Crist for the Republican nomination for U.S. Senate. Party leadership got behind Crist early that year, while Rubio secured early endorsements from Huckabee and U.S. Sen. Jim DeMint, R-S.C., a tea party favorite.
Rubio built up his campaign through 2009. By spring of 2010, Rubio gained endorsements from former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani and U.S. Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla.
In March 2010, Romney was on book tour in Florida and was asked regularly about endorsing in the Crist-Rubio race. Romney said several times that he was undecided and generally didn't endorse in primaries.
By April, though, Crist's campaign was in serious trouble. Polls showed he would likely lose. Crist further angered Republicans with a veto of a bill limiting teachers tenure on April 15.
The news broke the next day that Romney was endorsing Rubio, and the official endorsement came April 19.
When he made his endorsement, Romney was certain enough of Rubio's position in the primary that he publicly urged Crist to stay in the Republican Party and accept a loss.
Rubio went on to a decisive victory over Crist and Democrat Kendrick Meek.
We contacted representatives for both Romney and Rubio about this fact-check. Rubio's staff said his comments spoke for themselves. The Romney campaign sent us the following statement:
"Sen. Marco Rubio is an outstanding advocate for fiscal responsibility and a principled voice for conservative values in the United States Senate. Gov. Romney was proud to support Senator Rubio in 2010 and honored to have campaigned with him across Florida."
Our ruling
Rubio said that Romney was "one of the first national Republican leaders to endorse me." Romney did endorse Rubio before Crist dropped out of the primary in 2010. But it was clear at the time that Rubio would have thumped Crist in a primary if Crist hadn't dropped out.
The main point of Rubio's comments was to lower the temperature in the Republican race. But it bears noting that Romney's endorsement of Rubio was something less than a pioneering stand. We rate Rubio's statement Half True.

If the federal government shutdown continues through the weekend, it will likely force the cancellation of the Marine Corps Marathon in Washington, D.C., according to race organizers.
"It just floors me that it's come to this," said Arlington runner Julie Gresens, who has been training for months.
Gresens, a nurse, said she has already paid her race fee and booked her flight and hotel for the 26.2-mile run around the nation's capital.
The marathon, which regularly features a field of 30,000 runners, is the fifth largest marathon in the country. The event, called "The People's Race" because it is open to any participant, is largely run on land managed by the National Parks Service, which is why it could be affected by the shutdown.
Event organizers announced Tuesday night that the race could be canceled. Gresens said she paid attention to the shutdown but did not consider it to be a threat to her scheduled run until the days crept closer to its scheduled day of Oct. 26.
"But I'm thinking, 'Surely, by the end of October, this will be resolved,' so I'm not feeling too happy today," she said.
A final decision on whether to run the race or not will be made Saturday, according to the Marine Corps Marathon's website.

A tabloid claims to have the first new photos of Tiger Woods in months, taken outside a Mississippi sex addiction treatment facility currently being staked out by a crush of paparazzi.
The cover of the upcoming National Enquirer features a grainy photo purportedly of Woods, who has been laying low since revelations he had a long string of extramarital affairs. The photo, which also appears on the Enquirer's sister publication, radaronline.com, shows Woods wearing shorts with a hoodie tied around his neck and clutching a large cup.
The Pine Grove Behavioral Health and Addiction Services facility, where Woods is reportedly being treated, heightened a fence around the clinic to keep the paparazzi from taking pictures, according to WDAM-7, the NBC facility in Hattiesburg, Miss.
Woods' life has been in meltdown mode since the early morning after Thanksgiving, when he crashed his SUV outside his Florida mansion. In the days that followed, a parade of women came forward saying they had had affairs with him and his wife has reportedly spoken to divorce lawyers since.
Woods won the Australian Masters Nov. 15, but hasn't played golf since. After the November incident, Woods admit to "infidelities" and announced he'd be taking a break from golf. He hasn't been seen in public since the crash, and many friends have said they haven't been able to reach him.
If the photos are really Woods, they would be the first of the golf star since he appeared at halftime of the Stanford-Cal football game Nov. 21 when he was inducted into Stanford's sports Hall of Fame. His agent, Mark Steinberg, declined comment to The Associated Press on the photos, and officials at the facility would neither confirm nor deny that Woods is being treated there.

Appearing as a panel member on Friday's Inside Washington on PBS, Politico's Roger Simon claimed to see racism in a campaign ad against President Obama which criticizes the President for granting waivers to some states to loosen work requirements for welfare recipients.
After host Gordon Peterson recalled that fellow panel member Charles Krauthammer had called the ad "accurate," Simon launched into race-baiting:
(Video can be found here.)
Maybe I'm being overly critical here, but I hear a dog whistle in that ad. Even though, in fact, more white people are on welfare than black people, that's not the public perception of welfare.
The Politico correspondent added:
And this ad seems to me to be saying, "A black President now is saying minorities don't have to work for their welfare checks, they just get it in the mail for sitting around watching TV." That's not the truth, but I think that's the dog whistle in this ad.

Halley's Comet blazes against the black sky in this 1986 image from the Giotto spacecraft, which flew just a few hundred miles from the famous traveler on March 13 of that year. Giotto was one of five craft -- from Europe, Japan, and the Soviet Union -- to fly past the comet that month, during Halley's most recent visit to the inner solar system. Giotto passed closer than any of the others and made the most detailed observations, including this image of the comet's icy nucleus and part of its surrounding coma and tail. Fresh material was being pumped into the coma and tail as some of Halley's surface vaporized, spewing gas and dust into space. [ESA]

Halley's Armada
One of the most anticipated events in the history of astronomy was the 1986 return of Halley's Comet. The comet had last visited the inner solar system in 1910. But the tools for studying it then were primitive compared to those of the 1980s, so astronomers were looking forward to a scientific bonanza.
That bonanza included observations by an armada of spacecraft. Five probes flew past the comet, coming as close as a few hundred miles to Halley's icy nucleus.
The first to arrive was the Soviet Union's Vega 1, which flew past Halley 25 years ago tomorrow. The craft had already dropped a lander and a balloon at Venus. They probed the planet's dense, toxic atmosphere. Vega 1 stayed a safe distance from Halley, though, passing thousands of miles from the nucleus.
Over the next four days, another Soviet probe and two Japanese missions also made distant flybys.
The star of the show, however, was a European mission called Giotto. It passed about 350 miles from Halley on March 13th, and made the most extensive measurements of the comet and its surrounding cloud of gas and dust.
In fact, the dust gave Giotto quite a pounding. Even though the probe carried a shield to protect it from solid particles, dust grains rammed into it at thousands of miles per hour. They knocked out its camera and damaged other instruments. Even so, Giotto helped give scientists their best look at a comet in history.

Yesterday (Saturday, October 22) I attended a one day workshop in Prescott, Arizona. This was organized by the Northern Arizona Genealogy Society (NAGS). What a lovely day. There were two sessions before lunch and two after lunch. During each time period we could choose from 7 sessions. What a great variety in a one way workshop.
And I can't forget to mention the lunch. Since two friends and I drove from Phoenix, the weather was cooler. So, the homemade beef stew, homemade bread and homemade cookies were greatly appreciated. I'd like to thank all of those great volunteers who provided a day of educational opportunities for all of us, whether we are beginning, intermediate or advanced researchers. Thank you.

The day started off very bright, and I was hopeful I'd be able to get some shots of the jumper on its own. But it was so much colder outside than I'd anticipated, and I definitely needed to keep the coat on! My hands got really numb. Hopefully I kept my composure enough, so I don't have a pained expression in the photos!

"What made you think we were going to fit your couch in our condo?" Eve asked Grant.
"Well Eve, I can explain."
"I told you before, your couch will not fit through the front door. It won't fit in the elevator either."
Grant sighed and rubbed his eyes, " It's just, he's been through everything with me. I could never leave him behind. He's my lucky charm and I'll curse my favourite sport's teams if I leave him."
Eve laughed, "Leaving 'him' will curse your sport's teams, huh? Do your buddies outside, below the patio think so? They're the ones who're having to get your couch or 'him' to the third floor balcony?"
"Errr. . .well, they know about Oscar," Grant mumbled.
"Well, Eve it's not my couch we've been moving, it's my pet elephant. He's gotten so big now, we had to haul him up through the patio door."
Eve's mouth gaped, "We're talking about the proverbial elephant in the room, your couch right? I don't see it up here."
"Look behind you," Grant muttered. Oscar the half-grown elephant trumpeted happily squealing behind Eve.
Grant's fiancée squealed for a different reason.

GOP tries to quell dissent on taxes
The growing number of GOP defectors on taxes is causing heartburn in Republican ranks and prompting fresh fears that the party is giving President Barack Obama crucial leverage in the fiscal cliff negotiations.
"I think it's not helpful on anything to negotiate in public," said Sen. Richard Shelby (R-Ala.), echoing the concerns of many in the party eager to tamp down internal dissension ahead of a high-stakes year-end deadline.
Story Continued Below
( Also on POLITICO: Obama 'pretty confident' GOP will yield on taxes)
Sen. Mike Crapo, an Idaho Republican who has supported revenue increases in the past, said he's intentionally keeping those thoughts to himself these days.
"Most of us are, as I am, holding back and saying, 'Let's wait and see what happens with the speaker and the president,'" Crapo said Tuesday. "That's the best approach right now."
Since the election, House Speaker John Boehner and other Republicans have gone to lengths to demonstrate they're willing to raise new revenue by closing loopholes or capping tax deductions. For now, that's as far out on a limb as anyone in the party should step, some prominent GOP lawmakers argue.
( PHOTOS: 12 Republicans resigned to higher taxes)
"It's now time to hear something from Democrats," said Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), who has long signaled willingness to raise tax revenues in a deficit deal. "I haven't heard one prominent Democrat come out with anything that they're willing to do, to make a statement about what we should do on entitlements. I think we should let them speak for a while."
The concerns come as the rabid anti-tax stance that has bonded Republicans for a generation is unraveling, giving way to messy factions of lawmakers who have very different prescriptions for averting the fast-approaching fiscal cliff.
On one side are Sens. Bob Corker of Tennessee, Tom Coburn of Oklahoma and others who say it's time to concede higher taxes on the top 2 percent of wage earners in order to secure deep spending cuts to entitlement programs like Medicare, a top prize for the GOP. On Tuesday, Sen. Susan Collins, a Maine moderate, joined Oklahoma Rep. Tom Cole's call for Congress to quickly pass an extension of tax cuts for those who earn less than $250,000, in line with the White House's position.
( See also: Boehner: Where are Obama's cuts?)
Privately, some top Republicans believe such comments are actually helpful — giving Boehner cover as he tries to reach a deal that includes new taxes without setting off a revolt among the rank and file.
The Republicans conceding ground on the tax issue aren't making any apologies.
"I wasn't out there on my own," Corker said Tuesday. "I think there are a number in our caucus that want to move beyond the revenue discussion to an entitlement reform discussion."

The gender pay gap, the difference between pay received between women and men, exists across the European Union. In the UK the gender pay gap is 10.2 per cent – not the worst in the EU but still far too high. The gap is widest in Austria, Cyprus, the Czech Republic, Germany and Slovakia and narrowest in Belgium, Italy, Malta and Slovenia, according to Eurostat.
Yesterday the European Parliament passed a report on equal pay for male and female workers for equal work or work of equal value. Despite having legislation on equal pay for over 50 years there is still a 16%-17% gender pay gap in the EU. All attempts to lessen and ultimately get rid of the pay gap between women and men are absolutely necessary, and this report is an important step.
In view of the lack of progress to date, MEPs urged the European Commission and member states to reinforce existing legislation with appropriate types of effective, proportionate and dissuasive sanctions for employers in breach of it. These sanctions should include penalties, administrative fines and disqualification from public benefits and subsidies.
It is not just that women are at a higher risk of falling into poverty. Statistics show that the gender gap is growing with age. There is also a gap when it comes to pensions and older women have a greater risk of falling into poverty than men do.
Even in sectors where women employees prevail, men tend to have higher salaries. Horizontal and vertical segregations of economic sectors are deeply rooted in the economies of all EU member states, but it has also much to do with culture and with society's approach to motherhood.
It is really striking is there are now more women who graduate, and statistics show that women who start their working careers are better paid than young men in the UK. The gap appears for the first time when women return to the labour market after their first maternal leave. It is time to change the approach to motherhood and evaluate parenthood in society.
Yesterday's report makes several concrete proposals, including:
- more transparency about the way salaries are negotiated and settled to prevent women receiving less than men
- the European Parliament should offer a "Women in Business Europe" prize to be awarded to employers
- employers to be required to carry out regular equal pay audits
- attention to part-time work where the gender pay gap is highest
- measures to ensure disadvantaged women and women with disabilities are not treated less favourably
- additional research on this issue to be carried out by the European Institute for Gender Equality as well as EU member states
- the European Commission to review and update existing legislation
- member states to behave in an exemplary manner regarding ending the gender pay gap and each to appoint an equal pay champion
You may be interested to know that British Tories voted against the paragraphs in the report outlining the first two of these recommendations.
Since the votes on these two paragraphs were recorded, I can tell you that the following Tories voted against both: Campbell-Bannerman, Chichester, Deva, Elles, Ford, Foster, Fox, Girling, Harbour, McClarkin, McIntyre, Stevenson, Swinburne, Tannock, Van Orden, Yannakoudakis. The leader of the ECR Martin Callanan voted against the second of these two paragraphs but did not appear to vote on the first.
All of the above abstained on the final vote to agree the report with the honourable exception of Marina Yannakoudakis who voted for it. Mr. Campbell-Bannerman, however, voted against.
If David Cameron is serious about gaining women's votes and promoting gender equality, he really should do something about his errant MEPs.

Forget the awards and performances from some of the biggest names in the music business. The biggest question hanging over the white carpet at the MTV Video Music Awards in Los Angeles was whether the nation -- and Taylor Swift -- can finally forgive Kanye West for his televised antics of one year ago.
The rapper is eager to prove he has changed his ways after he rushed the VMA stage last year and interrupted Swift's acceptance speech for Best Female Video. His misguided mission: to let the world know that Beyonce had deserved the award.
His world has been filled with Swift pain ever since.
West literally took the microphone away from the girl-next-door singer and began his now infamous televised interruption.
"Taylor, I'm really happy for you, and I'm gonna let you finish," West said as Swift looked on in shock. "But Beyonce had one of the best videos of all time."
The Kanye backlash was immediate and overwhelming. Even President Obama weighed in and called him "a jackass." Many of Taylor's legions of fans were even harsher.
The furor has continued unabated even through the week prior to this year's VMA's -- especially since the rapper and Swift will meet again at the scene of his crime.
Just for good measure, West took to his Twitter account last weekend and apologized to Swifts fans, and Swift herself -- again. It's an apology that's sure to continue through the award program.
"I'm sorry, Taylor,'" West Tweeted.
"She deserves my apology more than anyone," he added. "She had nothing to do with my issues with award shows. She had no idea what hit her. She just lil girl with dreams like the rest of us."
Beyond apologizing to Swift, West also sought to repair some of the extensive damage to his career and reputation the public fallout from the incident has caused.
"I became George Bush overnight," he wrote.
"How deep is the scar...I bled hard," West continued, referring to the fact that Lady Gaga refused to tour with him following the incident. "Canceled tour with the number one pop star in the world...closed the doors of my clothing office."
West has said he has even written a song for Swift as the ultimate musician's apology. The rapper is due to perform at the awards, but it is not clear if he will sing that song or how he will address the Swift fiasco of last year.
Presenters for the evening include Cher, Ellen DeGeneres, Katy Perry and the cast of "Jersey Shore."

Chemical Composition of Human
Hi! I am currently doing some deep research to try and figure out the EXACT values of each element found on the periodic table within the human body: basically, what is the human body made of? And I'm not looking at just a simple answer of "Oh it's mostly water and carbon", but more of an exact value like "1.5 mil carbon attoms, 1.2mil hydrogen atoms, 800k atons of iron, etc etc". Then what I would like to find out is if there is a place where i can find the same exact type values of different food items (the chemical composition of an apple, or a pear, etc), and the chemnical comositions of each nutrient (B12, A, C, Zinc, Iron, etc) per say single size, like 1mg, or 1ug.
I'm working on theories here myself and and would love any help that I can get! Thank you all!

CARTHAGE, N.C. - Just three players shy of completing two full rounds when the match was called via darkness, the No. 2 Georgia College & State University golf team stands atop the field at the Peach Belt Conference (PBC) Championship. The Bobcats are the only team at even par after two rounds at the par-72, 6,939-yard Little River Golf Club.
Georgia College had a 289 in round one, followed by a 287 round two, pacing the field at even par overall.
All five Bobcats have scored in the top-14, led by junior Pedro C. Lima (Sao Paulo, Brazil) at one under. Lima stands sixth with a consistent 71 and 72, carding eight birdies over the two rounds, never once on the same hole.
Sophomore All-PBC pick Joe Young (Cochran, Ga.) joins Lima in the top-10 at eighth, a one-over 73-72=145. Young recorded four birdies on the back nine in the two rounds today.
Classmate Billy Shida (Berkeley Lake, Ga.) completes the three Bobcats in the top-10 at 10th. Shida shaved three strokes off his first round 75 for a three-over 147. He brought himself to even par in round two with an eagle on the par-five 17th.
Junior All-PBC selection Niclas Johansson (Skanor, Sweden) and junior Francisco Bide (Buenos Aires, Argentina) are tied for 14th at four-over 148. They each took different directions to get there, as Johansson added eight strokes to his first round score of 70 in round two, and Bide had the best second round of the GCSU bunch at 71.
Johansson had seven holes under par in the first round, but eight over it in round two. Bide had just one hole over par in the front nine of round two to power his solid round.
The Bobcats have won the PBC Championship just once, that victory coming in 2000. No. 15 Clayton State University stands two strokes back, and No. 1 Columbus State University is another stroke behind the Lakers. After that, the field drops off to plus-11 Armstrong Atlantic State University.
Three players will complete their second round tomorrow, with the final round beginning shortly thereafter. Bobcat fans can follow the action with live stats available at http://www.golfstatresults.com/public/index.cfm?tournament_id=1494 .

Seattle Seahawks
Players have power on concussions
Pulling on his black velvet coat after last week's game against the Arizona Cardinals, Seattle Seahawks cornerback Walter Thurmond had little soreness.
He owed Arizona wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald for that.
Thurmond thanked Fitzgerald during the game after the All-Pro wide receiver pivoted into Thurmond for a crack-back block. Thurmond had his head turned, but Fitzgerald politely dipped his shoulder into him.
Fitzgerald later hit Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman with more force in a similar situation. The hit dumped Sherman on his behind and caused him to pat Fitzgerald on the head afterward. It was another clean, effective block from Fitzgerald on a player whose head was turned. He could have "blown him up," as the saying goes, yet chose not to.
The NFL's effort to educate about and limit concussions, while also managing perception, is eliciting different emotions around the league.
In the end, possible change rests with decisions from players – such as the ones made by Fitzgerald – more than any league action.
Some current and former players wondered if Fitzgerald, one of the league's most respected players, was being lazy or soft.
Seahawks coach Pete Carroll sent tape of the plays to the NFL because he was thrilled.
"I said something to Larry after the game about those two decisions that he made because I thought they were perfectly illustrating the new mentality and the right mentality," Carroll said. "With an iconic guy like that, I just thought it was really powerful."
Carroll said the understanding of head trauma in the NFL has "come a million miles."
"From the dark days when nobody would ever acknowledge it or talk about it, the players all would ignore it, the coaches would ignore it telling them to shake it off," Carroll said. "You'd see guys shaking their head like they're literally trying to shake it off, which is the worst thing you could do."
He made those statements the day after Sherman wrote a guest column for Sports Illustrated in which he explained two important things.
First, he played with a concussion in his rookie year with the Seahawks and hid it, writing he was "half-blind" for most of the game.
Second, he emphasized that the players, much more educated now on possible concussion effects, choose to play. They are willing risk-takers. It was a message directed at the league and anyone watching.
"For anybody in the outside world to think they have the answers, or they know what is right would be crossing the line," Sherman said. "To tell you the truth, I don't know where that line is. I'm not an expert; nobody knows where the line is. If you knew where the line was, then we'd draw it, wouldn't we? So I think guys will just continue to play the game at a high level and to keep playing as they see fit."
For Seahawks safety Kam Chancellor, that's not doing what Fitzgerald did.
Chancellor, a 6-foot-3, 232-pound wrecking ball, said he was surprised to see such action on an NFL field.
"If it was me, the way I play this game, I'm a physical guy," Chancellor said. "I'm going to try to lay you out. I'm not going to aim at your head, I'm going to hit you in the strike zone (points to the center of his chest), but I am going to try and lay you out."
In late August, the NFL agreed to pay $765 million to settle a lawsuit brought by more than 4,500 players and their families, largely based on accusations that the league concealed what it knew about subsequent damage from repeated blows to the head.
A recent book and documentary, "League of Denial," outlined many of these accusations.
There is a feeling that the way the league settled and now enforces rules against big hits exists because the NFL is doing reputation damage control as opposed to having a true concern about player safety.
"The NFL is not worried about concussions," Seahawks wide receiver Doug Baldwin said. "The NFL is worried about their pocketbooks. They would not have made any changes if the previous players didn't sue them.
"That's my 100 percent belief."
Former Seahawks linebacker Dave Wyman has multiple concerns about concussions, such as safety, how reaction could affect future participation in the game, and the league's handling of the issue.
"There's some dishonesty there (with the NFL)," Wyman said. "Of course it's about money. Of course it's about preserving their business and product. Money is a lot about what the players do, as well."
That goes back to Sherman's argument. The players understand there is risk — how much and why repeated blows to the head appear to derail some and not others is not fully understood yet — and they accept it.
Time will provide the only conclusive indicators for much of the discussion about head trauma in football. The science will improve, and how players choose to act in the future — in the manner Fitzgerald did or with the decleating ferocity that has led to Seahawks wide receiver Golden Tate being fined twice for big blocks — will show whether the game is evolving as Carroll thinks it is.
"It's taken all of this time until now to really see the game shift," Carroll said. "I think it's the last two or three years that it's really shifted, and the awareness, and guys understand. Guys like Kam Chancellor can be as physical and tough as anybody in football and make the right decisions and still hit guys. Make the plays that are necessary, and keep the game safe.
"It's a really exciting time. I would never think I'd be saying this from where I was because I was cheering for Chuck Cecil (a former NFL safety known for ferocious hits). I thought he was awesome. He was one of my favorite guys. I see the game different now."
If there is a common belief among players to whom The News Tribune spoke about concussions and their possible ramifications, it's that the decision should mostly remain with them. They have been educated by the league more thoroughly than in the past.
Team trainers also harp on the issue, though when someone wants to hide a bell-ringing on the field as Sherman did, the warnings become moot.
"We're trying to get rid of that mentality, even though it is tough ... play-through-everything mentality," Seahawks center Max Unger said. "You know when you have a concussion. It's pretty obvious. It's just kind of up to you. It always and forever will be on the player to determine how hard and how far he wants to push it."

"Do a Single Mother's Children Make Her Less Attractive" originally appeared on The Good Men Project and was reprinted with permission.
Once upon a time, I was on Twitter lamenting about not finding love. I was saying how I attract emotionally unavailable men. Out of nowhere, this dude that I have never interacted with comes along and replies:
"Children scare men."
It took me a moment to figure out what the hell he was talking about. I presumed he meant that the concept of having children was not desirable to men. But then my brain started playing around with the idea and I imagined my two kids dressed up in monster costumes standing in a dark hallway deliberately trying to block my sexy time.
That was pretty funny.
Though I was relatively certain what he meant by the scared children comment, I wanted to confirm that he was making a mass generalization before I retaliated. I asked him what he meant and he said that when a man finds out that a woman has children, he becomes afraid. I prodded him and wanted to know what he meant by "afraid."
This was seriously one of the weirdest interactions I'd ever had on Twitter.
I felt like he was making a lot of assumptions. Every man is scared of children? Children are not scary. They are fun and weird and sometimes they lose their teeth and get money for it. They love chocolate and ice cream and they say weird, funny stuff. Why would men be scared of children?
But then I realized that he was kind of right.
One time I joined a dating website for 24 hours. I was chatting with a nice guy. We spoke about our random jobs that we had in our three-decade adult lives, our pets, hobbies, and favorite movies. Then he found out that I had kids. He stopped replying to my texts and disappeared. I started to believe that weird Twitter guy was on to something.
I still don't know why some men are terrified of children, but I do know that it's lame.
Single moms want to have romance and some semblance of a sex life too. Why should the fact that I have children make me any less attractive?
I think that is discrimination and it's just plain ridiculous. I love my children and they also drive me crazy. But, they are a big part of my life. They come with this package that is Sarah Fader. So, if you love me, you love them.
You also love chocolate pudding pie. I've decided that you do.
Men, please stop judging women if they have children. Don't write off a woman as undateable just because she has two little shorties she lives with.
Those children are her universe and there is also room in it for you.
If she likes you.

We show you how to make any fuel tank EFI ready!
So you're sold on doing an EFI conversion, perhaps one of the easy self-learning systems profiled elsewhere in this issue. Pretty much any company marketing conversions will have you taken care of with everything needed from the engine to the fuel system upgrades, but what about the fuel tank?
While you can technically run an EFI system with any factory fuel tank, the problem is that older tanks, typically pre-1980s, don't feature any sort of baffling or sump; it's just a big open chamber for the fuel to slosh around in. Such is the case with the fuel tank in Project EcoNova, our '76 Nova project car and its LS3 E-Rod conversion. With the low pressure and flow associated with mechanical fuel pumps, that's not too much of a problem for daily driving situations. EFI pumps, however, flow much more fuel at around 10 times the pressure—something our Nova's E-Rod conversion would demand. If the tank is below half to a third full, just exiting a freeway ramp could be enough to create a fuel starvation issue that could damage the pump, or even the engine. If you're planning to do any sort of performance driving like autocross or open track (that's us!), forget about it, you absolutely need a baffle of some sort to keep fuel around the pump.
…the problem is that older tanks, typically pre-1980s, don't feature any sort of baffling or sump…
There are some great ready-to-go EFI-prepped tanks on the market, but they tend to be pricey, and model-specific applications will only be the usual suspects, Camaros and Mustangs and so on. So what do you do if you've got a project with no direct-fit option—such as a '76 Nova—and you'd rather avoid a universal fuel cell? No worries, we've got the solution. There's a quick, easy, and cheap way to prep just about any tank for EFI. Even with a killer pump like the new Aeromotive 340, we still came in around $350 total. Not bad at all considering we didn't reuse anything from the car, and we finished it off in a day. Better yet, all the work is on the top and inside the tank so it retains its stock looks, and with an in-tank pump there's no telltale whine either.
Note of Caution:
We recommend using a new reproduction tank that has never been filled with fuel of any kind for this mod. If you choose to reuse an old tank, do not attempt to cut or weld on it until it has been professionally cleansed and rendered inert. Some fuel tank or radiator resto shops can handle this, but ask first and tell them what you're planning to do. Don't try to clean it yourself, and don't trust advice on the Internet—old fuel tanks can, and do, explode!
No worries, we've got the solution. There's a quick, easy, and cheap way to prep just about any tank for EFI.

Landlords of the Manor
Some owners are taking on tenants to fill rooms, care for a pet or provide a little company; when a mansion becomes more like 'Melrose Place'
Lauren Duff, a 28-year-old accountant, lives in a Denver mansion she found on Craigslist.
"I took a gamble," says Ms. Duff, who signed the lease in 2009 with two roommates. She hit the jackpot: The listing was for a 1,900-square-foot, three-bedroom wing of an approximately 6,000-square-foot Mediterranean home that is on the National Register of Historic Places.

Now in Penguin Classics-a treasure trove of Jane Austen's novelsView our Austen-mania feature page here.
Few novelists have conveyed the subtleties and nuances of their own social milieu with the wit and insight of Jane Austen. Here in one volume are her seven great novels: "Sense and Sensibility," "Pride and Prejudice," "Mansfield Park," "Emma," "Northanger Abbey," "Persuasion," and "Lady Susan." Through her vivacious and spirited heroines and their circle, Austen vividly portrays English middle-class life as the eighteenth century came to a close and the nineteenth century began. Each of the novels is a love story and a story about marriage--marriage for love, for financial security, for social status. But they are not romances; ironic, comic, and wise, they are masterly evocations of the society Jane Austen observed. This beautiful volume covers the literary career of one of England's finest prose stylists of any century. A Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition with French flaps and luxurious packaging Features the definitive Penguin Classics texts recommended by the Jane Austen Society New introduction by bestselling author of "The Jane Austen Book Club" Karen Joy Fowler

Yesterday (Friday) was the first day of the CHA Craft Supershow in Orlando. When I arrived at the Orange County Convention Center shortly after 11am, an hour after the show's official opening time, I was greeted by this sight at the registration area:
I couldn't even get the whole crowd into the photo. What you can't see is the line that stretches from the far end of the registration area in the photo, all the way across the back of the registration area to where I am standing, and then about that same distance again across the lobby area. Attendees were reporting a 20-30 minute wait to pick up their pre-registered tickets.
CHA officials reported that 5,000 tickets were pre-sold for this weekend's show.
The vendor hall was not empty while all these people were stuck in line waiting to pick up their tickets, either. This is what it looked like inside the hall:
Quite simply, the place was wall-to-wall people the entire day. It was hard to move without bumping into someone. There was always a wait to checkout in booths, and waits for make-n-takes were lengthy. Every vendor I spoke to seemed thrilled about how their business was going on Friday. In some cases I saw signs that certain items had already sold out for some vendors.
At Papertrey Ink, a stamping company which usually only sells online, there was a line to even get into their booth to shop. They had their booth set up with a line coming in the door that snaked around the exterior wall before returning to the register at the exit. Customers essentially shopped as they were in line for the register. First thing in the morning, the line was a couple dozen people long just to get to the entrance of the booth to start shopping.
Make-n-takes were extremely popular and the waits were long despite them being offered in many booths for consumers to choose from. All the make-n-takes I saw were being offered at no charge. Consumers seemed to really being enjoying trying new things. I saw a lot of people having to have techniques explained to them, which meant they were trying something they hadn't done before. Some of the make-n-takes were quite involved (which accounted for some of the waits of course) but the result was that the consumer could take home a really inspiring project and really learn something in the process.
Unlike many consumer shows, which seem to actively discourage the presence of children, CHA made an effort to encourage consumers to bring their children with them to the Craft Supershow. It's never too early to start creating the next generation of craft consumers! There was a whole kids' crafting area set up on the show floor along with a bounce house for the littlest kids.
Kids weren't just getting busy in the area meant just for them, either. I saw kids taking part with real interest in make-n-takes all over the show floor. Hopefully this is a good sign for the future health of the crafts industry that a new generation of crafter is being nutured.
Misc notes from the CHA Craft Supershow:
- Several manufacturers (including Creative Imaginations and Nikki Sivils) were running make-n-takes and then had signs up to tell consumers what retailer booths at the show were selling the products that were being used.
- The crowd was very demographically diverse, especially compared to previous scrapbook shows that I have attended.
- Facts and figures: approximately 100 vendors and 5000 pre-sold tickets for the weekend

6 Hottest Pictures Of Flea Bites On Dogs
Sponsored link:
Hostility is among the primary factors that canines are euthanised or rehomed; a minimum of 30 % of all canines in rescue centers exist due to the occurrence of hostile practices in one type or one more. It is really uncommon to have a canine that is aggressing to have simply one kind of aggression; most dogs have more than one of the list below types of behaviour.
It would be prudent, prior to embarking on a program of aggressive behaviour adjustment, to eliminate any type of clinical factors for that practices, particularly if there is a sudden change in the 6 Hottest Pictures Of Flea Bites On Dogs character. Their are some fifty-odd various medical reasons a canine might be revealing hostile propensities, these variety from Discomfort to Thyroid Disorder, Epilepsy to Hypoglycaemia and also Diabetic issues.
The following is a listing of the most typical hostilities and also why they might be happening. This is just a part of the overall types. Since of the restrictions of space it could just be a short lived recommendation.
1. Worry/ Nervous Hostility (Interdog).
Frequently, this practices has its origins straight to the puppy's mom. Dog breeders that reproduce from afraid and also shy bitches will certainly typically make excuses regarding why you can not see the dam. If you do view a litter of young puppies and the mom is fearful, after that do not also think about purchasing the young puppy. It will certainly be practically a surety that the puppies will certainly acquire a few of the mom's characteristics, with both genetics and also socialisation, genetically the pups may inherit her timidity and also through the time they are with her will observe her fear and also do the same.
Scientific research study has actually revealed that also the puppies that are birthed to a strong and also steady mom that are after that placed with a bitch that is fearful, they will get some of the unstable habits from the fearful canine. Other reasons for this fear type of problem is when the puppy or adult dog is attacked by another dog, especially whilst on the lead, with no means of escape and limited from showing submissive body language to the attacker.
Lack of very early socialisation can likewise have an affect on this kind of practices, If the youthful puppy, particularly between 7 and also sixteen weeks, is not thoroughly hung out with both adult and pups alike, then they do not learn to "meet and greet". The complex body movement canines discover at this age is important to their later practices when coming close to unidentified canines. If they are not able to either carry out or comprehend the welcoming routines, after that they are right away seen with uncertainty by the coming close to canine, and also dispute might occur.
Exactly how can you inform if it is worry?
With worried and also are afraid hostile canines, you will certainly discover that they will certainly respond strongly to any type of canine, despite whether it is male or women. The practices is typically even worse if the canine is on the lead or is caught, particularly if near the proprietor, that supports the practices, (though unknowingly) by ending up being worried and also upset as the various other canine methods.
This materializes itself in a tightening up on the lead and also shoulders. Worried proprietors likewise evict a cloud of adrenaline that the canine quickly discovers, this triggers it to search for exactly what is triggering the issue. It views the canine coming close to and also responds appropriately. This kind of canine is likewise typically a barker, it will certainly lunge and also vituperate the coming close to canine however typically will not break unless all its choices have actually gone out. ie air travel or freeze and also nevertheless its risk displaying the various other canine has actually still obtained as well close.
This issue could typically be identified if somebody that is positive around canines (that the canine does unknown well) takes it out on the lead. It will certainly not obtain the exact same afraid vibes from the proprietor, for that reason the response to one more canines coming close to will certainly be much less extreme. It is a great way of discovering if your canine experiences worry hostility, as the practices will certainly either not be displayed or will certainly be much less noticable. The proprietor could after that utilize a desensitisation program for both the canine and also themselves.
2. Worry/ Worried Hostility (Inter-human).
Once more, this can be triggered with absence of very early socialisation, bad breeding and also in some cases absence of dealing with at a very early age, beginning as youthful as two weeks aged. Puppies that are not dealt with carefully and also typically by the dog breeder do not obtain a solid sensory and also tactile bond with human beings. This is typically the situation with young puppy farmed canines and also canines birthed to big dog breeders. This handling at such a very early age triggers a moderate tension feedback in the small puppy, which profits its capability to deal with numerous circumstances consisting of individuals and also canines in later life.
Worried and also are afraid aggressing is constantly protective in nature, in some cases it belongs to the sex of the individual. If the dog breeder was women, and also few men went to or dealt with the young puppies, after that the timidity and also worry might be even worse with guys. This specific issue like interdog violence, will certainly materialize itself primarily with people instead of groups.
You will certainly discover that the canine will certainly bark a great deal however will certainly be under a table or behind a sofa. The tail will certainly be down and also although it might appear overtly hostile, the canines equilibrium and also weight will certainly be on the back foot not over the front feet. This shows that the canine desires you to disappear and also is not at first attempting to attack or assault you. A progressive and also cautious intro to the stimulation that is triggering the worry with favorable support for tranquil practices is the method to conquer this kind of issue though the canine will seldom make an overall and also complete recuperation and also will certainly never ever be life and also spirit of the park and also welcoming celebrations.
3. Disappointment Hostility.
Research study has actually revealed that canines that are not enabled to communicate "typically" with individuals and also canines that leaned to display screens of bad mood and also practices that was overtly hostile are canines that are typically limited or limited from typical communications (communications with individuals, various other canines, and also the outdoors). The canine establishes an intense desire to get to all those points he wishes.
This wish could intensify right into getaway and also roaming practices, anxiety, attacking and also unwarranted assaults. It is typically noted in canines that are left bound in apartments, left in yards, or near a home window where they could view the important things they wish to communicate with, however could not reach them for that reason show unwarranted hostility. Somewhat, the hostility revealed to the postman is based upon disappointment. I have actually viewed canines assault their proprietor or a 2nd canine in the house since it could not reach the deliveryman.
Just like many assertive practices very early socialisations and also an understanding of exactly how canines discover and also interact are vital.
4. Sex-related hostility.
This kind of hostility is normally restricted to male canines. They will certainly install both individuals and also various other canines. Installing task routed to human beings might show an absence of chance for the canine to have fun with various other canines, or an over-attachment to individuals in very early life, installing on various other canines particularly if they at first attempt to place their going the various other canine's necks can be associated with place and also manage complicated practices. Castration and also practices adjustment could assist with this issue. Enabling the canine to mate might typically be suggested by the amateur canine professional, this typically makes the issue much even worse.
5 Territorial Hostility.
This might be to various other canines, individuals or both. Necessarily, territorial hostility ought to be routed towards students of the exact same types ie various other canines. Residential canines, nevertheless, appear to concern human beings here as conspecific, and also as a result might route territorial hostility towards us When canines show hostility to complete strangers just on the house building yard, home, or lawn, yet do not react strongly to complete strangers on buffer zone, after that territorial hostility is the most likely medical diagnosis. There are 2 main inspirations for territorial practices, command complicated practices ie supremacy or fear/anxiety. It might be even worse in a little area such as a vehicle compared to in an open location. Some canines such as this can be great in the house, however not so great in the yard.
The only solution to this issue is to deal with the dominant/territorial issue in a manner where a canine comprehends its placement with a practices adjustment program utilizing placement support methods. Keep in mind not to applaud for the cessation of bad practices instead applaud for that bad practices not occurring to begin with. Simply puts, state the canine lifts on someone and also you state "OFF" if the canines leave after that do not applaud as you will certainly be applauding for the unsuitable practices, which was the leaping.
6. Command Complex/ Leading Hostility.
Words leading is a dirty word in canine behavioral circles presently nevertheless if we comprehend words indicates placement and also is a lot more complex that simply hostility, after that to neglect this location of dispute would certainly be remiss. The preliminary method to various other canines is typically preventive and also includes numerous condition signals, like tail carriage held high and also rapidly relocating back and forth, basing on tiptoe and so on. If the various other canine sends, after that all is normally great, otherwise the battling can be incredibly loud and also sometimes extremely extreme. In both the work 2 instances, leading and also territorial hostility, I normally discover the canine will certainly draw extremely terribly on the lead. These canines could likewise show hostile propensity to family members this might result in an assault otherwise managed in their beginning. By dealing with a program that will certainly provide the canine a function and also a placement in life, practically a task and also instructing the canine to stroll on a loosened chain could in some cases get rid of the issue. The kind of program I would certainly utilize is the NILIF program, which means "Absolutely nothing in Life is Free", View my site under supremacy.
7. Chase or Predative hostility.
This can be routed at numerous points consisting of canines, felines, or anything that promotes a chase feedback. Squirrels are a preferred, as their fast jerky motions appear to promote also one of the most peaceful of canines. I view a great deal of predative chase hostility in for example Boundary Collies, particularly energizers like bikes, skateboards joggers and also vehicles.
Among the essential elements that differentiate predative hostility from various other types of hostility is that motion typically is the trigger. In the wild, this motion is in the type of running and also leave efforts of a little pets. Predative practices can be viewed in canines of any type of sex and also age.
Canines that reveal extreme passion and also end up being excited or nervous by the motion or sound of kids or various other animals ought to be carefully kept track of whatsoever times. Diagnosis is bad for this kind of hostility. Award operatinged obedience training could assist, nevertheless this is just any type of usage if the owner/trainer has the ability to continuously keep track of the canine whatsoever times.

OCEAN CITY – The Mayor and City Council was torn this week between spending funds available in this fiscal year's budget to purchase eight additional Tasers for the Ocean City Police Department (OCPD) or wait to prioritize expenditures when the budget picture clears.< ?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office">
OCPD Captain Gregory Guiton came before the council, with Mayor Rick Meehan, Council President Lloyd Martin and Councilman Joe Mitrecic out of town attending the National Hurricane Conference, to discuss the OCPD's request to purchase the additional Tasers at the cost of $11,400 out of FY 2013 budget.
Guiton explained on March 5 OCPD officials met with City Manager David Recor and Budget Manager Jennie Knapp to discuss the new fiscal year budget and the department's proposed expenditures. One of the proposed expenditures was to be for 22 additional Tasers to equip trained officers.
"We identified monies in this year's budget to move forward with a portion of those to reduce that proposed expenditure," Recor said. "This is not a grant. This is money out of an alternative line item in the police department's FY 13 General Fund budget."
It is known the upcoming budget will be faced with a significant shortfall and to reduce expenditures Recor and Knapp directed OCPD to request eight additional Tasers this week to equip eight trained officers without devices.
The purchase of the eight devices under the current FY 2013 budget will reduce the number of Tasers requested in FY 2014, as the department continues to outfit all officers serving in an operational capacity with this less lethal device. The department currently has 26 Tasers in service. The additional eight will allow the department to outfit 37 percent of the officers and first line supervisors serving in an operational role.
Councilwoman Margaret Pillas was concerned over the expenditure on the Tasers leading to an additional cost for the remaining 14 in the upcoming budget.
"I don't know how to think about this … I am going to have to take the advice of the police department hoping that I don't have to eliminate something down the road that is more important," she said.
However, Pillas chose to abstain from the vote to wait until the FY 2014 budget process is underway in a couple weeks to have a better perspective on proposed expenditures.
"We have some definite budget challenges coming up and from what I understand some substantial employee raises and so forth, so for me I am going to abstain as well because I would like to see the big picture before we spend any more money," Councilman Brent Ashley said, agreeing with Pillas.
Guiton pointed out if the purchase of additional Tasers are put off until the start of the next budget year, which is July 1, there will be trained officers left without Tasers on the streets this summer.
Councilman Dennis Dare asserted the Tasers end up saving money in the long run from decreasing the number of confrontations police officers have.
"It is probably hard to put a number on it, but we do look at the workman's comp claims and all the auxiliary costs from using physical force as opposed to these ECDs," Dare said. "It would be nice to outfit every police officer with it and this is a step towards that."
Council Secretary Mary Knight was also in favor of moving forward with the request despite her reservations when the program was first implemented.
"It does save money in workers compensation … and it also saves of course the safety of our officers, the safety of the perpetrator, we have the money I would think this is a very sound suggestion," she said.
With the assertion of Tasers saving the town money, Ashley asked for data that represented a direct correlation between the implementation of the Taser program and a drop in workman's compensation but the information was not handy at that time.
"Again, just as a reminder we are talking about $11,400 out of the FY13 budget," Recor said. "I think Capt. Guiton was right on the money when he indicated, if we delay this, particularly through the start of the FY 2014 budget we won't have these on the street in our season. I think it is a safe bet that our risk manager is going to say that we do not save $11,400 as a result of deploying eight additional Tasers. That said we are expecting an actual increase in our overall risk management workers compensation, what essentially operates as an internal service fund that is also included in the FY14 budget."
The council continued to go back and forth between the idea of approving the request to have the additional eight trained officers on the street this summer equipped with Tasers or waiting for more information on how the expenditure would impact the upcoming budget. In the end, the council was in consensus to postpone a decision until Monday night's legislative meeting when more information will be presented.
Last July, former Police Chief Bernadette DiPino presented an update on the OCPD Taser program that was implemented in February 2012. At that time, there have been 19 Taser displays in an effort to gain voluntary compliance.
