Feathers (PMZ105) is a dandy, dashing affair, outfitted with plumage that would make the handsomest bird of paradise green with envy. A grassy, intricately inked green and yellow dial peeks out from a sumptuous, overstuffed fan of dark apricot feathers. Red-orange minute, hour, and second hands amble fancifully around the hours of the day, pointing at different corners of the pillowy ring of plumes. With the scale and drama of catwalk haute couture, this enchanting, high-fashion work of art is posh, luxurious and as full of charms as a socialite making her debut. And with its captivating opulence, this piece is doubtless the belle of the ball.

BURLINGTON, Vt. – UMBC junior goalkeeper Lauren Kadet (Oakville, Ontario/St. Thomas Aquinas) matched a season-best with 10 saves in Thursday's America East matchup at Virtue Field, but for the second straight season, UMBC and Vermont ended in a draw after 110 minutes of action. Kadet picked up her third shutout of the season and the fifth of her career in the scoreless affair.
UMBC earns its fourth tie of the season – the second-straight campaign the Retrievers have had four overtime games – to move to 1-9-4 overall and 0-3-2 in America East play, while Vermont moves to 2-11-1 overall and 1-3-1 in conference.
Despite being outshot 8-0 in the first half, UMBC put the pressure on the Catamounts coming out of the break. Freshman forward Bria Bass (Springfield, Va.) nearly put the Retrievers out in front on a shot from 10 yards out in the 49th minute, but a UVM tip deflected the shot and gave UMBC the first corner kick of the afternoon. Minutes later, junior forward Stephanie Smith (Severna Park, Md./Archbishop Spalding) tested Vermont's freshman goalkeeper Ally Ramos, blasting a curling shot from just inside the box. Ramos made the diving save, her first of the contest, to keep the game scoreless.
The Catamounts weathered the storm, but the Retrievers went back on the offensive with under 10 minutes remaining in the contest, coming inches from taking the 1-0 advantage, as a centering pass from sophomore midfielder Lilly Rydon (Stirling, South Australia/Concordia College) made its way to freshman midfielder Preslie Quaranta (Baltimore, Md./Perry Hall). Quaranta turned and punched a shot to the left side of the net from six yards out, but Ramos was able to get her fingertips on it for one of her seven saves.
UMBC held a 10-2 advantage in corner kicks, with nine coming in the second half of play, including one with six seconds remaining in regulation, however, the Retrievers were unable to find the back of the net.
Vermont saw the first opportunity of overtime, as sophomore forward Bre Pletnik had a step on the Retriever defense and sent a shot from just inside the 18 yard box. Kadet extended to get a hand on the ball and was able to gather the rebound, for the first of three saves in the first overtime for the junior keeper.
Both teams continued to generate opportunities throughout the two overtimes, with the Catamounts registering four shots in the first overtime and UMBC combining for three shots during the extra periods.
"We need to put a total of 90 minutes together," head coach Leslie Wray said. "For the first half we were unable to connect the ball. The second half was much better, but we didn't capitalize on our opportunities. Now we have to turn around and start preparing for Stony Brook on Sunday."
UMBC returns home on Sunday, Oct. 14 to take on Stony Brook in its "Fight In Pink" contest. Kickoff is set for 1 p.m. at the Retriever Soccer Park. The Retrievers invite all fans to purchase a pink shirt from the team to show their support in the fight against breast cancer, with all proceeds going to the Susan G. Komen foundation.
Shirts are available for $8.00 prior to Sunday and can be purchased for $10.00 at the gate. A silent auction will also take place at halftime, where fans will have a chance to bid on shirts worn by their favorite Retriever players during pregame. For more information or to make a donation, contact head coach Leslie Wray at firstname.lastname@example.com.

First Colo. bills address gay rights, guns and unions
DENVER – Civil unions for same-sex couples, concealed firearms by school employees and proposals about unions are among the first bills introduced in the Colorado Legislature.
The civil unions bill introduced in the Senate Wednesday is likely to pass. It has a Republican co-sponsor in the House.
Democrats are expected to pitch gun-control measures, but so far it's Republicans who are introducing legislation to expand gun rights.
Republicans want to prohibit employers from requiring workers to belong to a union, and Democrats want to allow firefighters to have collective bargaining without approval from local governments.
Other bills address student truancy at schools, a proposed abortion ban, and tax credits wildfire mitigation.
One proposal requires the removal of non-citizens who are registered to vote in Colorado.
Start a dialogue, stay on topic and be civil.

Where will Colorado be headed in men's NCAA Tournament?
I'm on record as saying the Wednesday night victory by the Colorado's men's basketball team at Stanford has clinched a NCAA Tournament bid for the Buffaloes.
But where will Colorado (21-9, 10-7 Pac-12) be sent?
If, as nationally recognized "bracketologists" predict, the Buffs will be seeded above than the lowest four seeds and thus do not have to play in the "First Four" games in Dayton, Ohio, then it's anyone's guess.
In seeding the 68-team field, the NCAA Tournament selection committee tries to slot teams as near to the campus as possible. However, lower seeds (and right now Colorado is projected anywhere from a 9 to 11 seed) often must be sent to another part of the country.

As South Africa grapples with the very controversial Secrecy Bill, censorship is also a hot topic further abroad. And just like the Secrecy Bill, the US Stop Online Piracy Act could be disasterous for the work Greenpeace does. Below is a blog from Greenpeace's International Executive Director explaining why this is the case -- and what we can do to stop it.
In the history book of bad ideas, the concept of giving corporations the right to censor the Internet has to rank among the worst ever.But that's what the impact of two bills recently introduced in the US Congress would be if they, or anything like them, were enacted into law, and it's causing a righteous ruckus among free speech activists around the world.In solidarity with major sites like Wikipedia, Boing Boing, and Reddit, the Greenpeace International website will be dark for 12 hours on the 18th of January to protest these two bills specifically, and the idea of empowering internet censorship in general. If you don't know what SOPA and PIPA are, you should look them up. While touted as efforts to curtail film and music piracy, they have the potential to allow corporations to censor online activism as well.In a nutshell, these bills will enable corporations to effectively shut down websites that they believe are infringing their copyrights and trademarks. All they have to do is file notice (not prove to a court, but simply file notice) that their copyright has been infringed to a service provider, such as the one which registers the name greenpeace.org on the Internet, and that entity has 5 days to take action to end service to the site.If in fact there was no copyright infringement, the service provider is immune from lawsuit by Greenpeace for taking the site down or suspending any other services.In effect, the law says that copyright infringement is so great a crime that corporations can play judge and jury, presume guilt, and possibly infringe civil rights, free speech, and privacy in the defense of their interests.They can demand that search engines and social networking sites block access to the targeted site, and that payment services and advertisers cease doing business with the accused site. A previous provision, that internet service providers block access to the site through the domain name system, has for now been removed: a good thing, perhaps, but not if it means a better chance for the rest of the bill's draconian measures going through.So what's this got to do with online activism?Well, it so happens that trademark infringement is part of the bill as well — and that is an open invitation to corporate abuse of SOPA/PIPA to silence critics.At Greenpeace, we've managed to put some judo moves on some mighty corporations by leveraging their own advertising budgets against them. Whether it's spoofing VW's most expensive superbowl ad of all time, spreading the word about a spoof of the American Petroleum Institute's support for the Keystone XL tarsands pipeline, creating a Kit-Kat ad that illustrates the rainforest destruction inherent in palm-oil production, or putting up a look-alike Apple.com website to push for better e-waste policies, we've rigorously exercised our right to free speech in freely speaking out against corporate abuse of the environment, and won many a campaign victory doing so.We use corporations' own language, their own marketing, their own strength against them -- which is sometimes the only way that an entirely supporter-funded operation like ours can afford to put a spotlight on the negative side of their operations.Thing is, while court case after court case has agreed with us that parody is a protected form of free speech, the corporations at the pointy end of our parodies tend to disagree. Exxon/Esso took us to court in France over alleged copyright infringement of their logo when we launched a campaign against them:
Esso said we were in violation of their intellectual property rights. We said it was free speech. The court agreed with us, and in an historic decision, we won. But had that decision been left to Exxon/Esso, we would have been shut down.Nestle's Kit Kat brand famously failed when they attempted to have our spoof video featuring their brand -- and critical of their support for rainforest destruction -- removed from YouTube for trademark violation. Hundreds of our supporters reposted the video on other sites and their own Facebook profiles. Eventually, YouTube's lawyers intervened and the video was restored. Under SOPA, YouTube *itself* could have been shut down for hosting our Kit Kat video. Facebook could have gone dark for hosting supporter samizdat. Greenpeace.org would have gone dark worldwide. And Kit Kat owner Nestle never would have been compelled by our supporters and their customers to revise their policy on palm oil procurement, a move which has struck a major blow to an industry which is mowing down orang-utan habitat in Indonesia to plant palm trees.Which is why you need to oppose SOPA/PIPA. While the Obama administration has indicated they would veto any bill with some of the more draconian measures that have been considered, and SOPA itself has been "shelved indefinitely" we need to send a message, loud and clear, about how far we'll go to stop corporate censorship.If you are a US citizen, write your representative. If you live outside the US, sign this petition. If you want to do more, check out these suggestions from the Electronic Frontier Foundation.More than ever, the networked world is holding corporate interests accountable for their environmental and human rights abuses. Don't let people power be silenced. Stop corporate censorship of the Internet.

Popular otaku idol Shoko Nakagawa more commonly known as Shokotan broke down during the recording of her cameo role in the upcoming film Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods.
THis was funny to say the very least, but she is cute so who cares!
Isn't this that idol who ends up licking her cat and stuff? Why the world did she break down and start crying from seeing her? Is it like how someone would cry if they saw their favorite movie star?
Hmm, I am not feeling this new movie, but if she is in it, well....hmmm.
I wonder if the person with the gray shirt is a man or a woman because he talks and acts like a woman but that body's just like a man.

Has CU's Burks hit the proverbial freshman wall?
It seems to arrive each February like clockwork. College freshman basketball players, playing so many more games than they ever did in high school, seem to slip into a slump.
Colorado's Alec Burks may have fallen victim.
"I think that he is a little worn," Colorado coach Jeff Bzdelik said of his 6-foot-6 rookie guard.
Burks needed four free throws in the final 1:16 to reach double figures (11 points) on Saturday in the 75-72 home victory over Iowa State. He entered the game averaging almost 17 points per game.
Although he played 33 minutes, Burks attempted just six shots from the field, making three.
"He has played a lot of minutes," Bzdelik said afterward. "But if you look at his stats – four assists against only one turnover – it shows you what a great talent he is.''
Bzdelik said wearing down at this time of year isn't just about basketball.
"(It's also about) being a freshman in college with the studying involved," Bzdelik said. "Everything is different from high school. It is an adjustment, and he has done very well with it. He is doing everything right and that is a credit to him. We expect so much out of him, so we just need to keep it in perspective."
Burks also had an off night in the other game last week, managing just 13 points in a blowout loss at Missouri.
Of course Burks isn't about to say he is wearing down.
"It just wasn't my game," he said after the win over Iowa State. "I'm just happy we got the 'W.'''
Often freshmen are able to break out of their late-season slump. Colorado (13-15, 4-10 Big 12) hopes that's the case for Burks when the Buffs play at Nebraska (14-15, 2-12) Tuesday night.

After some searching, I came across Joachim Metz research on the ESE format and WDS as part of the libesedb project. Metz documents the ESE database structure, data obfuscation, and compression thoroughly. Consequently, I am not going to summarize all of his research but fully recommend you read it if interested.
The libesedb project contains two tools; esedbinfo and esedbexport. Esedbinfo provides detail about the structure of the ESE file and Esedbexport allows you to extract the tables for analysis. The following is an example of running Esedbexport on the WDS database (the default location is C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Search\Data\Applications\Windows\Windows.edb). It should be noted that the Windows Search (WSearch) service needs to be stopped to access this file on a live system.
The SystemIndex_0A table contains the bulk of useful information. The following is an example of the Outlook Welcome email obtained from the parsed table.
To the best of my knowledge, it is unknown how long indexed data is kept
In addition to the libesedb project, Joachim Metz also runs the libpff project. His research there provides a tremendous amount of insight into the PFF file structure and usefulness.
So what do you say? Is the Microsoft ESE file format a useful artifact for file forensics?
Happy Hunting!
Updated: September 09, 2011
Dave Hull was kind enough to post a comment and share some of his experiences with WDS and deleted files. This consequently got me to revisit my testing with a larger poking stick. After several hours I determined a few things about deleted emails and the affects on the WDS index.
First and foremost, I could not duplicate finding deleted emails in the index. I am unsure if my initial testing was flawed or if there is internal workings unknown to me. I did however note the following behavior when deleting emails.
When an email is sent to the Deleted Items folder in Outlook the "System_IsDeleted" is marked as True and the "System_ItemFolderPathDisplay" value is changed to reflect this new location. This comes as no surprise. This was the case with my initial testing and the example I gave of the Outlook Welcome Email.
Once the email is removed from the Deleted Items folder, the Index Record is removed very quickly. I confirmed this multiple times. This leaves a missing DocID in the table which is eventually re-used for another index record. This is very similar to the behavior of the NTFS Master File Table when a files/folders are deleted.
I re-read Joachim Metz's initial research and he does mention that the WDS index can contain deleted file information and content but was unsure how long this is kept. He also mentions a table called "SystemIndex_DeletedDocIds" which contains the deleted DocId's in Windows Vista and above. Unfortunately, the Esedbexport tool does not seem to extract this table as of yet.
All things considered, a very interesting experiment.

Latest Stories
All bets are off for the Christmas number one, according to a leading bookmaker which has suspended betting on the Military Wives taking the top spot.
Gareth Malone's choir, brought together on the BBC2 series, have released a single, Wherever You Are, inspired by letters to and from their soldier husbands which will raise money for forces' charities.
Ladbrokes closed the book on them when they were 1/20 favourites ahead of current chart-toppers Little Mix at 8/1.
Alex Donohue of Ladbrokes said: "As far as punters are concerned it's a done deal. The money says the Military Wives will deservedly get this year's Christmas number one."
The choir, who have been backed by figures such as Radio 2 presenter Chris Evans, performed at this year's Festival of Remembrance at the Royal Albert Hall and at the Strictly Come Dancing semi-finals.
Even Simon Cowell appears to be supporting the women ahead of the manufactured girl group.
The X Factor supremo tweeted: "Congrats to Little Mix & congrats to Military Wives. It's a great cause & a worthy Christmas No.1"
There was more bad news for the girlband when it was revealed their cover of Damien Rice's Cannonball had achieved the worst first week sales for an X Factor victor's winning song since 2004.
Figures show that despite the huge exposure of the group with more than 15 million viewers tuning in to watch The X Factor reach its climax, the track sold 210,000 copies in its first week.
That's less than half of 2010 winner Matt Cardle's first week tally of 439,000.

Dhumal says he will welcome decision of people
"Whatever people decide is good. It would be good if they support us, and good even if they don't. I will welcome the decision of people," he said when asked to react on the declining trends of his party's seat in the state.
Earlier when the trends showed that the BJP was leading in the state, Dhumal had voiced confidence of a victory in the polls.
"I am very confident (for a win)," he had said.
While Congress was leading on 29 seats, BJP after initial gains, slowed down to 23 seats in Himachal Pradesh's 68 member legislative assembly.
Asked whether BJP's performance declined due to factionalism in the party, Dhumal said, "I don't comment on issues related to the organisation in the media."

The Boston Athletic Association says it will accept 30,000 entrants for next year's Boston Marathon, the third largest field in the race's 119 year history.
The marathon had more than 38,700 entrants for the centennial run in 1996, and 36,000 this year, the first race since two pressure cooker bombs placed at the finish line killed three people and injured more than 260 in 2013.
From 2009 to 2013, the field size was 27,000.
The BAA, which runs the marathon, announced Thursday it will use the same process to register qualified runners as it has used the last three years, allowing the fastest qualifiers in their gender and age group to register first. Registration starts online only Sept. 8.
Next year's race is scheduled for April 20.

Corn and wheat closed sharply higher today after a huge outside-down day on Friday. July corn closed 16 ½ cents higher at $5.68, July soybeans 4 ¼ cents lower at $13.40, and July wheat 15 ½ cents higher at $6.27 ¾.
Export inspections were all in line with market expectations this morning except for soybeans which were slightly above the guesses. The outside markets were mixed with lower equities and a lower US Dollar. The grain market rally was associated with a drier forecast, firmer cash corn basis, as well as the fear of lowered crop conditions on the 3pm ratings report.
The crop conditions ended up improving slightly for corn with 2 percent moving from a good rating up to an excellent rating. The Reuters poll was calling for a 1 percent drop from the good-excellent categories, so this may be slightly negative for corn's price action tonight on the re-open. The first rating for soybeans came in at 65% good-excellent when the poll was estimating 69%. Winter wheat is 20% harvested which is much faster than the 5 year average pace of 3%.
The main driving force for grains is still the weather. Changes to the morning and midday models will continue to have large impacts on the prices. We also have Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke speaking to Congress on Thursday and many are projecting another round of quantitative easing coming up soon. If this is announced, or even just the fear of this being announced, we could see another drop in the dollar and a financial push back into "hard assets" like gold or other commodities. If you need to catch up on sales having scale up orders in is not a bad way to get positioned in case we see a rally. We have found heavy resistance in December corn at the 50 and 100 day moving averages over the past 6-8 months. Currently the 50 day moving average is at $5.32 and the 100 day is up at $5.48 ¾. These may be good target levels to have orders placed.

I made my images 600 x 400, and chose custom size, entered 600 x 400. I did try making the album smaller than the images, but no luck with that either.
So, do I need to make sure my images are always over 1000px when saved for web?...But they weren't that large in the first album...
Or is there some formula for determining how large to make the photos so one can figure out which album choice will display them? For instance, do they have to be at least 200px larger than the album dimension?
Maybe include some instructions about sizing photos before uploading them so it's possible to just click on the album size we want and it will work? (...and so some of us won't have to figure out query strings and custom URLs )
But for the time being; what size photos do I need for them to show up at the 640 x 480 (Or 600 x 400 if the custom size would be possible)?

A Galician Government Representative Meets KDE Translators
Last Saturday, a representative from the Galician Government in Spain met members of the Trasno project.
Six people came to the meeting from the Trasno team including Xavier García Feal, coordinator of the KDE galician language team, two other KDE translators, a couple of translators from Gnome and the author of the Galician ispell dictionaries.
The Adviser informed us that they are about to launch a forge site to host Galician free-software projects. The craze for on-line translation tools also arose when he noted that they were considering to set up a Rosetta like site for translations. This project will be closely related to Mancomun, another site recently launched motivated by the release of the first fully localised OpenOffice.org release.
The meeting had a friendly atmosphere, despite the recent frictions related to the OpenOffice translation.
We told the representative of the future plans and needs of the Trasno project. At the present time we are switching our web page to a wiki. To fullfill the desire of having a full desktop in the official Galician language, we urged the Councillor's adviser to improve the Galician Hunspell dictionary and to integrate this into KSpell. Additionally the attending translators noted the need for more volunteers. We expressed that we would prefer the government to evaluate Pootle as an online translation tool.
The Councillor's Adviser noted that the regional ministry was not considering creating a new Linux distribution nor to massively deploy any other distribution.
After the meeting KDE's team chatted for a time, exchanging thoughts. This was our first face to face meeting.
We shared a lot of similar ideas. Galicia has two official languages. Any deployment would demand both localisations. The Galician government has paid €120 000 for the localisation of OpenOffice.org. But they are now finding that there is still a lot of work to do and it will be very expensive. It would be cool, and a good sign, if the Trasno project could get a server with revision control and Pootle. With a "project liaison" we could get in sync with upstream repositories, while still being able to work off-line. We were also aware that we need more help.
EUR120,000 to translate OpenOffice.org, wow! I know it's always good to pay people properly, but that figure surprised me. I wonder whether it would be better for local governments to set-up web sites like Pootle and invite their constituents to contribute, then perhaps hire some people to finish the job if it goes slowly or there are gaps?
Very disappointed to see that nobody has started to translate ktuberling yet by the way ;-) (http://www.trasno.net/kde/)

Wrong choice as AFAIK they were not the "original upstream" translators.

By Albert Astals Cid at Fri, 2006/07/21 - 5:00am
Re: 120.000
on the other hand, the origional translators will probably keep translating as well, which means that this adds an additional party to the group of translators. but I would agree that it would have been nice if the origional translators had seen something of the money.
but I guess governments don't work that way. they probably just want this done, and this is the easiest way for them to get there.
but he! look at the bright side, at least we'll be getting a good translation.

about time too
It is difficult to understand that the Basque and Catalan regional governments in Spain are not much more involved in OpenSource. I remember the huge amount the Basque Government paid for Microsofts' Office localisation. If they used a fraction of that in open source we'd be much better off.
As to only Galician in a web page, well, if you speak Spanish well and you make an effort you can understand most of what's written in Galician. After all, we all had to study the Cantigas in school...

In the final minutes of his life, Odin Lloyd sent a series of texts to his sister. "Did you see who I was with?" said the first, at 3:07 a.m. June 17. "Who?" she finally replied.
FALL RIVER, Mass. — Former New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez, charged with murder for what prosecutors say was the execution-style killing of a friend near his house, was denied bail on Thursday.
Hernandez's lawyer argued that his celebrity status means even if he wanted to flee he couldn't and that the case against him is circumstantial.
"He wants to clear his name," lawyer James Sultan told the judge.
But Bristol County Assistant District Attorney Bill McCauley called the evidence in the June 17 slaying of Odin Lloyd overwhelming and said police had made discoveries Wednesday when they searched a condo Hernandez leased and a Hummer registered to him that was parked there.
A jogger found Lloyd's body in a remote area of an industrial park about a mile from Hernandez's home in North Attleborough 10 days ago. Lloyd was a semi-pro football player from Boston who was dating the sister of Hernandez's fiancee.
Prosecutors said Hernandez orchestrated the killing because Lloyd talked to the wrong people at a nightclub. Hernandez, a 2011 Pro Bowl selection who signed a five-year contract with the Patriots worth $40 million, could face life in prison if convicted.
In laying out more of the government's case Thursday, McCauley said prosecutors believe that the murder weapon was a .45-caliber Glock and that a gun Hernandez is seen holding on his home surveillance video, a weapon they haven't found, appears to be a Glock.
The prosecutor said that inside the Hummer investigators recovered an ammunition clip for .45-caliber bullets and that ammunition was found inside the condo. McCauley said a photograph had emerged online of Hernandez holding a Glock.
District Attorney Sam Sutter would not be specific when asked by reporters after the hearing when the photo was taken, saying only that the information would emerge with the continuing investigation.
Hernandez's lawyer said as far as he knew there was no eyewitness testimony and the prosecution had not given evidence that shows who shot Lloyd or whether there was a plan to kill him. He said Hernandez has no criminal record, owns a home and lives with his 8-month-old daughter and fiancee.
"Mr. Hernandez is not just a football player but is one of the best football players in the United States of America," Sultan said, adding, "He's young man who is extremely accomplished and hardworking in his chosen profession."
Hernandez appeared in court with his hands cuffed in front of him and occasionally looked at his fiancee during Thursday's bail hearing. She cried when Bristol Superior Court Judge Renee Dupuis denied the request, but Hernandez showed little emotion.
The judge said that it is rare for someone charged with first-degree murder to get bail and that Hernandez had the means to flee if he chose to do so. She acknowledged the prosecution's case was circumstantial but said it was "very, very strong" and called the scenario the prosecution described "cold-blooded."
The Patriots cut Hernandez shortly after police arrested him on Wednesday.
That day, authorities in Connecticut also made an arrest in connection with Lloyd's slaying. New Britain State's Attorney Brian Preleski said Thursday that investigators arrested 27-year-old Carlos Ortiz in Hernandez' hometown, Bristol, Conn., as part of the murder probe.
Authorities charged Ortiz as a fugitive from justice, and he agreed to be transferred to Massachusetts. Prison records show he was being held on $1.5 million bail at a Hartford, Conn., jail, but his public defender, Alfonzo Sirica, declined to comment about the case.
On Thursday night, Massachusetts state police said they were seeking another man, Ernest Wallace, in connection with Lloyd's killing. They issued an alert and wanted poster for Wallace, saying he was considered armed and dangerous, and sought the public's help in tracking down a silver or gray 2012 Chrysler 300 with Rhode Island license plates he was seen driving.
Earlier Thursday, residents of a condo complex in Franklin, a 20-minute drive from North Attleborough, described seeing a two-day police search of the unit that neighbors believed Hernandez was renting. Carol Bailey, who lives next door to the two-bedroom unit, said police removed items from the third-floor condo and asked her questions about its occupants. She said a new tenant of the unit told her in May that he was moving in with his cousin and she realized later that the second man was the Patriots player.
"I thought, 'This is Aaron Hernandez. He's renting a place here so he can have some peace and quiet,'" Bailey said Thursday.
She said she didn't see the two men often but Hernandez always had a hoodie pulled up when she saw him.
"I think all of us who recognized who it was didn't want to invade his privacy," she said.
Bailey said police towed a black Hummer with expired, temporary Ohio tags from the condo on Wednesday.
Complex resident Kathleen McKeown, whose front door is a few feet from the unit police searched, said there were things that struck her as strange even before that. She said someone had plugged an air freshener into a hallway wall outlet outside the unit and put a jar with fragrance sticks on the floor by the door, as if to mask an odor.
"I thought, 'Why would two guys be worried about the smell out in the hall?'" she said.
Authorities have said trouble that led to Lloyd's killing happened on June 14, when Lloyd went with Hernandez to a Boston nightclub.
"Apparently, Mr. Lloyd saw some people that he knew and began conversing with them," McCauley said Thursday. "The defendant took exception to that."
Previously, McCauley had said only that Hernandez had unspecified trouble with the people and that a few hours before the killing he told a friend he couldn't trust anyone anymore.
Prosecutors have said that on June 16 Hernandez and two unidentified friends picked up Lloyd from his Boston home in a rented silver Nissan Maxima, took him to a remote area of an industrial park and shot him five times.
Lloyd, in the minutes before his death, sent a series of texts to his sister, who had seen him get into the car.
"Did you see who I was with?" said the first, at 3:07 a.m. June 17.
"Who?" she finally replied.
"NFL," he texted back, then added: "Just so you know."
Prosecutors have said they used cellphone tower data, text messages and surveillance video, including video from the security system Hernandez installed inside his home, to reconstruct his movements that night.
NFL advises teams on signing Hernandez
The NFL told its teams Thursday in New York that any player contract they enter into with Hernandez before charges against him are resolved won't be approved without a hearing by Commissioner Roger Goodell.
The league said the hearing would be to decide if the former New England Patriots tight end should be suspended or face other action before a resolution of the charges is reached. It said no player contract with Hernandez would take effect before a hearing.
Hernandez was arrested Wednesday and charged with first-degree murder and weapons counts in the shooting death of a friend, Odin Lloyd. Hernandez was cut by the Patriots after the arrest and before his court appearance and is being held without bail.
Meanwhile, Puma announced Thursday that it has ended its relationship with Hernandez.
The sportswear company ended the two-year contract it agreed to in April with Hernandez, Puma spokesperson Katie Sheptyck said. She did not say how much it was worth.
Hernandez "was going to be involved with our men's training program" but had not started working with Puma and his role wasn't specifically defined, Sheptyck said. The agreement didn't involve product endorsements, she said.
Last Friday, five days before Hernandez was arrested, the company that makes Muscle Milk said it was ending its endorsement deal with him.
CytoSport, based in Benicia, Calif., said in a one-sentence statement that in light of the investigation involving Hernandez, it was terminating its endorsement contract with him effective immediately.
The company, which makes Muscle Milk and other nutritional supplements for athletes, did not disclose the value of the contract or what it called for Hernandez to do.

No Jon Embree staffers will be retained at Colorado
BOULDER — New Colorado Mike MacIntyre said Thursday he will not retain any of last year's coaching staff.
Some unnamed ex-Jon Embree staffers were in the mix for the last two openings but it appears they will be filled by the candidates McIntyre interviewed at last weekend's coaching convention in Nashville. He said he hopes to fill them by this weekend.
MacIntyre has brought six assistants from his staff at San Jose State, where they compiled an 11-2 record, the Spartans' best mark since 1940. He also hired receivers coach Troy Walters from North Carolina State which recently fired head coach Tom O'Brien after a 7-6 season.
Three assistants under Jon Embree appear to have landed jobs. Alabama, the two-time defending national champion, hired defensive coordinator Greg Brown as secondary coach; Pro Football Talk reported that offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy has accepted the Kansas City Chiefs' offer as running backs coach and receivers coach Bobby Kennedy, according to sources in Boulder, is close to getting hired for the same job at Iowa. Erik Campbell, after five season as the Hawkeyes' receivers coach, left the staff after a 4-8 season, their worst since 2000.
Ex-Buff staffers still apparently seeking jobs are quarterbacks coach Rip Scherer, passing game coordinator J.D. Brookhart, linebackers coach Brian Cabral, offensive line coach Steve Marshall, defensive line coaches Kanavis McGhee and Mike Tuiasosopo and head coach Jon Embree.

I have an Easter card that I'd like to share with you today. I made this one using the Easter Bear file from Marjorie Ann Designs. I've had this file in my stash since last year when it was given as a freebie in her FB group Free SVG's ~ Games & More ~ Marjorie Ann Designs. Not sure why I waited so long to use it because it pieces together nicely and he's cute as can be.
When putting my card together I decided to also pull another sketch from my stash to use. It's another one I've had for a while but haven't used until now. At first I wasn't sure if I like the colors and such but the more I look at the card the more I like it.
The stamped sentiment I used is from the Craftin Desert Divas stamp set Happy Thoughts.

How would you deal with this situation?
I did consider confronting him but decided this is his problem, also why validate the vibe he's throwing out? (By acting like it's bothering me).
A coworker advised to only make an effort if this is genuinely somebody I care about. I can't say that about this person because all there is is small talk and tv and movies discussions. I feel like if my conscience is clear that I didn't do or say anything to warrant this situation, then the other person is choosing to behave this way based on their own issues. Maybe I just need to suck it up and take it like a man.

Ryan Lochte on Friday morning challenged his swimming rival and friend Michael Phelps to a rematch during the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo.
Michael's mom Debbie Phelps likes the idea.
"That would be wonderful," she told Matt Lauer and Hoda Kotb on NBC's "Today" show.
Lochte's performance in the 200-meter individual medley on Thursday was disappointing. He led by a fraction in the first part of the race.
U.S. & World
"Something happened" in the middle of the race, Lochte said, and he just fell apart. He did not medal and came in fifth place.
"I think I used too much energy in the front half and that kind of hurt me towards the end. But, you know it happens," Lochte told Lauer.
Phelps scored the 200-meter individual medley Olympic gold, and just 38 minutes later he successfully made it into the 100 meter butterfly semifinal. Phelps set an Olympic record by winning four consecutive gold medals in swimming and 22 gold medals to date.
"I'm just living a dream come true," said Phelps.
Lochte leaves Rio as the second most decorated swimmer of all time, and says he needs a mental and physical break after Rio.
After Lochte's break, he will get back to training for the next Olympics.
Lochte says Phelps brings the best out of him and is an "inspiration."
"The rivalry that we created and that friendship... I'm definitely going to cherish it for the rest of my life," said Lochte.
"Michael, I'll see you in Tokyo."

A few weeks ago, I ditched my iPhone 4S for an HTC One, and now I think the difference between the world's most popular smartphone operating systems — Apple's iOS and Google's Android — can be explained with a metaphor about home decorating.
The iPhone is a mansion designed by experts with superb taste. It's beautifully laid out, and all the rooms, wiring and plumbing work together seamlessly. But once you move in, you can make only the tiniest of alterations.
The designers of Android, and companies like HTC, which modify that operating system in different ways, don't have the same skills. But you can trash just about every aesthetic choice they've made and renovate to your heart's content.
Big fan of "Breaking Bad"? Trick out your Android phone with "Breaking Bad" imagery, with icons from the periodic table, as featured in the opening of the TV show. Love Scrabble? Your phone can look just like a Scrabble board. An Android phone is endlessly customizable, down to the last pixel.
The problem is that creating the most striking and novel Android looks is a baffling chore, one that requires mastery of software that seems lifted from that Russian space capsule in "Gravity." Take a look at the many how-to tutorials on YouTube, where Android theme designers — or themers, as they are known — offer step-by-step instructions so you can replicate their handiwork. It's so confusing that it's hard to get to the part that's confusing.
But a new app, Themer, developed by MyColorScreen, a start-up in Irvine, Calif., hopes to bring Android customization to the masses. The idea is to cut out the inscrutable programs and endless tinkering needed to configure a stylish home screen. Users download Themer, which is free, and immediately have a library of smartphone themes, any of which can be installed with a single click of a button.
Hit "apply," and your phone could, for instance, have the In a Row theme, which is a column of white lettering against a black background, with fonts in the style of a hip restaurant menu. Or there's Dashboard, a one-stop information hub and control center. There is a Grand Theft Auto theme, a "Game of Thrones" theme, and even one that uncannily recreates the look of iOS 7, in case, for some reason, you want the iPhone look on your Android device.
To anyone who's ever tried the long-way route to installing such labor-intensive designs, Themer feels like a magic trick. Actually, the app took about 10 months of research and software programming by three partners — two from the investment world and one electrical engineer — who studied the Android market in search of a niche.
"We looked at a website for Android developers and there was a lot of talk about customization, and how the options that exist today are basically way too complicated," said Ashvin Dhingra, one of the partners, who previously worked at Citadel, the hedge fund. "We thought there was a big market for customization but it had to be simple."
The partners bought MyColorScreen.com, a website dedicated to Android themes, from a Thailand-based entrepreneur. It was, and remains, an online gallery for an international subculture of designers who dream up and create new looks for smartphones. The site is home to more than 50,000 themes, with names such as GOONOW!, Leaves and 5mal. (Hey, these people are artists, O.K.?) Some have a distinctly futuristic appearance, as if they were built for robots. Others are designed around a function, like reading Reddit.
The partners have deals with a handful of themers, to put some of their designs on the app; about 90 designs are available, with more added every week. The app takes all the complex coding that went into the fabrication of each of these gems and translates it to one dummy-proof instruction: Press here.
Mr. Dhingra and his partners plan to make money by cutting deals with companies that want to be on your home screen. Every theme comes with a set of preinstalled folders and Themer might eventually put Amazon, for instance, in a shopping folder, or Evernote in a productivity folder.
"Or you could have a company that wants to promote a movie or a concert and build a whole theme around it," Mr. Dhingra said. "We're going to strike partnerships with brands where it makes sense for our users and the brands."
Anticipating those profits, MyColorScreen pays themers about $50 per theme. That might seem like a pittance, but it's $50 more than most have been paid in the past.
In daily use, Themer is like a visit to a clothing store where you can try on whatever you like, leave for a few days, and then swap your picks for a new outfit. I used Colorlist, a theme by a Polish graphic designer who works under the name GaRyArTs; it consists of six brightly colored rectangles, stacked one on top of the other. Pressing each rectangle opens a different function — one for the camera, one for the phone, and so on. There are a collection of tiny white icons at the bottom, with links to YouTube and Dropbox and other frequently used programs.
Colorlist looks terrific, and so did a number of other themes I tried out. Each downloads quickly and smoothly, and Themer allows you to select, for instance, which weather app to use when you press the weather icon.
You can also select which type of icon to use with each theme. Unlike on iPhones — where the icons come in exactly one variety — there are scores of different icon packs available for sale (others are free) at the Play store, designed by a host of artists. Every taste is catered to. The Getaway pack, by a Dane known as Black Bear Blanc, is a homage to '70s car chase movies. ("Light yellow icons, with scratches, light leaks and coffee stains!" reads the designer's description.)
I prefer the Cardstock collection of icons blended with a smattering of Nox. They're elegantly crafted and easy on the eyes.
Themer, though, has some limitations. (Yes, once you get the bug, even an app that is all about customization seems as if it needs more options.) The lock screen — the screen you see when your phone first powers on — can't be configured by Themer, because the software does not have the capacity to change it. For now, the look of your lock screen won't bear any resemblance to the rest of a Themer-ed phone, which is like attaching the front end of a Ford Focus to a Jaguar. It's a bit off.
But Mr. Dhingra says that coming versions of Themer will tackle the lock screen issue. Which means the app could ultimately offer a wide variety of themes and the capacity to alter those themes to any specifications. The Apple approach — like the cookie-cutter approach to home design — will then seem even duller.

As Chevrolet's first V-8, rear-wheel-drive performance sedan since 1996, the new Chevrolet SS is designed to deliver performance on the street and on the track. It joins the all-new 2014 Corvette Stingray and revamped 2014 Camaro to broaden America's favorite performance brand.
The new SS benefits from the proven, race-tested, global rear-wheel drive architecture that is the foundation for the Camaro, Caprice Police Patrol Vehicle and Holden's VF Commodore.
It is powered by the LS3 Chevrolet V-8, delivering an SAE-certified 415 horsepower (310 kW) and 415 lb.-ft. of torque (563 Nm), and is matched with a six-speed automatic transmission that can be shifted manually using TAPshift paddles mounted on the steering wheel.
With an aggressive 3.27 final-drive ratio, the Chevrolet SS accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in about five seconds - making it one of the quickest sedans on the market. And to ensure it turns and stops as well as it accelerates; the Chevrolet SS also features a sport-tuned chassis, including:
MacPherson strut front and multi-link independent rear suspension geometry
Handling is also optimized with a nearly 50/50 weight distribution and a low center of gravity - attributes made possible in part by the aluminum hood and rear deck lid that are 30 percent lighter than traditional steel panels.
Aggressive design
The SS's good looks blend performance cues and premium details. Staggered front and rear wheels, which are pushed out to the corners, enhance the sporting, muscular stance of the SS. Up front, the aluminum hood features a subtle "power bulge" hinting at the capability of the engine underneath.
At the rear, the tapered, tear-drop shape contributes to improved aerodynamic performance. Premium cues include jewel-like chrome accents, standard high-intensity discharge headlamps and light-emitting diode daytime running lights.
Along the vehicle's sides, a character line extends from the hood to the trunk lid, helping create a classic wedge shape by further accentuating the planted appearance and muscular sheet metal. The vehicle tapers at the rear, with the C-pillar flowing into the deck lid - a design cue shared with other Chevrolet sedans.
Bright dual-exhaust tips put an exclamation mark on the rear design, while delivering the throaty note performance enthusiasts expect from their vehicle.
The Chevrolet SS is offered in five exterior colors: Silver Ice Metallic, Red Hot 2, Phantom Black, Heron White and Mystic Green Metallic.
Premium, spacious interior
The spacious interior of the SS will comfortably accommodate five adults, with 42.3 inches of front legroom (1,074 mm) and 39.7 inches (1,008 mm) of rear legroom. Leather seating surfaces are standard, as are eight-way power adjustable front bucket seats with additional side bolstering that hug the driver and front passenger in tight-handling situations.
The SS emblem is prominently stitched onto the soft-touch instrument panel which features two types of chrome finishes - a satin gloss and bright chrome. At night, the interior is illuminated by ice-blue ambient lighting.
An integrated center stack includes infotainment, climate and other vehicle controls, while the center console of the SS houses extra-large dual cup holders that can accommodate a wide range of container sizes. The cup holders are not separated, so the space can also be used for small item storage. Fold-out rear cup holders are also located at the base of the center rear seating position. In addition, all four doors contain cup holders. An electric park brake frees up additional space in the center console.
Two auxiliary power outlets allow concurrent charging of items such as mobile phones, tablets and portable satellite navigation devices. One is located inside the covered central storage console; the other outlet is conveniently accessible in the forward compartment at the base of the instrument panel, which is illuminated at night by ambient Ice Blue lighting.
A USB outlet is located on the vertical face of the covered storage console. The Chevrolet SS also offers a long list of standard technologies including:
Color, in-dashboard touch screen that supports Chevrolet MyLink and the standard GPS-based navigation system
MyLink details
Chevrolet's next-generation MyLink infotainment system is standard on the SS and is accessed via an eight-inch color touch screen.
In addition to icons covering everything from navigation to phone to music apps such as Pandora, Chevrolet's next-gen MyLink is designed to accommodate new features and enhancements and be highly customizable. It also represents Chevrolet's first use of natural language voice recognition that allows customers to safely place calls, enter destinations, browse media, play music and control other functions simply by telling the vehicle what to do.
The system can store up to 60 favorites, including radio stations (AM/FM/XM), contacts, destinations, music and other media. This feature is convenient for those who travel to the same destination regularly and want to save locations such as hotels and restaurants.
On its eight-inch screen, users can fling through lists, swipe and drag just as they would on a tablet. Users with compatible smartphones can pair them with MyLink using Bluetooth or a USB connection. This enables the ability to play passengers' music or other media through the vehicle.
Performance and driving experience
The 6.2L LS3 small-block V-8 is the power behind the SS's driving experience. It is SAE-certified at 415 horsepower (310 kW) and 415 lb.-ft. of torque (563 Nm) and paired with the Hydra-Matic 6L80 six-speed automatic with paddle-shift control. The engine's torque is channeled to the rear axle, which has a 3.27 ratio for a great feeling of performance. Engine oil and transmission coolers are standard.
A sport-tuned suspension complements the powertrain with handling prowess and driving refinement. The front suspension is a MacPherson-strut-based multi-link system with a direct-acting stabilizer bar. It features a forward-mounted steering rack and dual lower links with individual ball joints at the outer ends. A hydraulically damped bushing is used on the forward end of the tension link for improved ride isolation.
The rear suspension is a multi-link independent system with coil-over shock absorbers and decoupled stabilizer bar. It has high lateral stiffness for handling through three lateral ball joints per side with improved longitudinal compliance. A rubber isolated suspension frame isolates the body from road imperfections and drivetrain vibrations. The inclusion of more lightweight aluminum components, including the front steering knuckle and tension arms, delivers tremendous ride and handling characteristics.
Four-wheel disc brakes are standard and feature track-capable Brembo front brakes, with four-piston, two-piece aluminum front calipers and large, 14-inch (355 mm) two-piece front rotors. The aluminum front calipers provide increased stiffness to reduce fluid displacement and caliper deformation without adding weight. The result is an enhancement to braking feel and overall vehicle dynamics.
Electronic Brake Force Distribution optimizes control of rear brake pressure on all road surfaces and under all vehicle loading conditions. Electronic Brake Assist senses how hard and fast a driver hits the brake pedal and gives extra braking assistance, if required.
The Chevrolet SS's steering system employs a variable-assist electric power steering system (EPS) that saves fuel by drawing energy only when the wheels are turned. The variable-effort design provides lighter parking efforts at low speed and greater effort at higher speeds, for a more direct steering feel. The system is also calibrated to detect constant driver steering wheel load due to factors such as road camber and crosswind. The system will compensate to reduce steering effort to a more neutral level and lessen potential driver fatigue.
Chevrolet SS safety details
The all-new 2014 SS offers a comprehensive collection of standard safety features. It employs advanced technologies - including radar - to help avoid crashes. Visual and audible alerts, depending on the alert feature, help drivers identify potential crash situations. They are designed to identify potential threats with sufficient warning to give the driver time to react and make changes.
SS is also the first Chevrolet to offer Automatic Parking Assist, which provides hands-free parking help. This standard features uses an ultrasonic sensing system to detect the width and depth of either parallel or reverse right-angle parking spaces. While the driver controls the throttle, transmission and brake, Automatic Parking Assist controls the steering inputs necessary to park the vehicle.
The standard safety features on Chevrolet SS also include:
Forward collision alert - Camera technology detects a possible crash threat and alerts the driver, giving him or her time to stop and/or change course.
Six months of OnStar Directions and Connections service is standard on SS. OnStar is the global leading provider of connected safety, security and mobility solutions and advanced information technology.
OnStar's RemoteLink Mobile App allows smartphone users to control vehicle functions, access vehicle information and send directions directly to the vehicle. An opt-in service called FamilyLink allows subscribers to stay connected to loved ones by checking the location of their vehicle online or by signing up for vehicle location alerts.Â
