Turnover of Landslide Maps in Tublay, 03 June 2014
The Landslide and Rainfall Monitoring Project of UP Baguio turned over landslide maps to the Barangay Councils and the Mayor's Office in Tublay on June 3, 2014. The maps resulted from an inventory carried out in 2012 and 2013. The said images will continue to be updated by the barangay councils in an effort to build the municipal database on landslide events.
In the photos are the recipients of the maps, the Project's team members, namely Alice Follosco and Rene Escalante Jr., and Ao Jaiyong, a Research Affiliate of the Cordillera Studies Center.

Having worked for numerous divisions around the country and being based just 30 minutes away, Eco2Solar were the natural choice to deliver the integrated PV systems which sit within the roof, replacing the roof tiles and providing an aesthetically pleasing array.
With the PV panels replacing the roof tiles, the developer was able to save money and weight on the displaced roof tiles, with the panels being tested to the same standards as a roof tile with a superior life expectancy.

This website was actually a suggestion of a past girlfriend. She was telling me that I was making all these prints, selling them via mail, and oftentimes sitting on them. She told me that I was wasting my potential and I should do something with all this stuff that I would eagerly create during my off time. Just like you, I have a day job that I absolutely hate. I'm a litigator by training, so that's what I do to pay the mortgage.
During the off season and the off hours, I pour out my soul into printmaking. Whether we're talking about portraits of people, flowers, animals, there's just something about the printmaking process that steers the internal artist in me. I don't mean to sound pretentious nor do I try to lay claim about something grandiose. No. To me, the definition of an artist is somebody who's just seeking to express himself or herself in a specific, tightly-defined form.
You have to understand that art has been redefined and repackaged throughout the years to such a degree that it really has lost its humanity. It really no longer connects on a truly human level. In fact, we live in a day and age where there is a tremendous temptation to push people towards some sort of official or acceptable interpretation of art. This is dangerous territory. There's really no other way to describe it.
If you are in a situation where people are insisting that you interpret artistic expression in only one certain official or acceptable way, there's something wrong with the picture. There's something profoundly broken about the whole interchange of artistic ideas. Art is supposed to be offensive. It's supposed to insult people. It's supposed to make them cry. It's supposed to dig deep, scar us, wound us, and otherwise remind us that we are able to feel strongly.
Unfortunately, we live in an age where trolling on social media as well as in real life has not only become familiar but also expected. At some level or other, we have become desensitized to emotional urgency and rawness that it's supposed to be an expected form of authenticity. In other words, it has become yet another decorative veneer or outer covering that rarely speaks of deep profound personal truths.
By peeling back a lot of that misconception about art, printmaking in general, my comics highlight what is real about my life as I live it in the here and now. My goal is for all these random eyeballs from all over the internet to see my corner of the woods and come up with their own interpretation that makes sense in their own particular set of circumstances. In other words, that's the way art is supposed to be.
There's no one-size-fits-all interpretation. There's no official dogma that you are supposed to walk away with. It's completely your own. And the fact that you are able to come up with these different emotional states is not only a testament to the evocative power of the art that you just looked at, felt or otherwise experienced, but it also speaks volumes about who you are, what your place is in the world, where you think you're going and what your definition of the good life is about. In other words, real art is both personal, public and political. You really can't separate these. They're different sides of the same coin.
It is my hope that monkeyropepress.com brings back all these realities and grips people's attention so they can be inspired to do their own art.

Sonuus i2M Musicport Review | Larry H.
This is one of the coolest things I've seen in a while. Sonuus's i2M Musicport instrument to computer interface converts monophonic musical pitch to MIDI messages. The Musicport is about the size of a USB key and contains a ¼-inch in-line jack on one end and a USB adapter on the other (jack-to-USB). It's designed for use with guitar and bass, but can be used with other instruments as well. In short, the Sonuus i2M records 16-bit, 44.1kHz (CD quality) and 48kHz (DVD quality) digital audio into your audio application or DAW of choice. The i2M's high impendence (Hi-Z) audio input circuit ensures that your tone won't degrade. With the i2M, you have the freedom to use any instrument as a MIDI instrument.
Okay, so how does it work? I used my trusty Fender Squire and connected the bass through the ¼-inch jack. The preamp captured the details of my playing – tonality, pitch, timbre, note velocity, vibrato, pitch bends, nuance – and sent it as MIDI data to the included Musicport software very quickly. There was a little bit of latency, as expected when pitch is converted to MIDI data, but the latency is really minimal. The output sound was pretty much on point without the need for pickups or special instruments. Strummed notes sounded strummed with no degradation. Slaps sounded like slap and picked notes sounded picked. And it fits right in your pocket! I'm really impressed by this thing.
The Sonuus i2M can be used for vocals as well if you have a ¼-inch microphone. I have a really, really inexpensive Radio Shack ¼-inch microphone, but I did use the i2M to capture vocals as well and ran them into the workstation software. I'm no singer, but I made an attempt at several vocal runs and I'll admit the i2M kept up with me pretty well. There were a few wrong notes and some spots that were missing, but that honestly could've been my lack of ability added to the fact that my microphone was one step above a toy. But for the most part, considering they were vocal runs, I think the i2M did it a good job reproducing the character of what I sang. The notes were mostly there. The feeling was definitely there, volume, velocity and timbre. It's just beautifully simple and one of those inexpensive tools that add color and personality to most any performance – live or studio.
The i2M's accompanying software is flexible and easy-to use. There are 6 zones, the equivalent of 6 tracks, within the software that can each be individually configured. If you're working with other musicians who have i2Ms, the software can receive up to 6 channels of MIDI data simultaneously, which is very cool because you can exchange data with other i2M users without having to add DAW software to the mix. If the latency is bothersome, you can use the ASIO drive to provide low latency audio so that you can hear what you do in real-time. The i2M is Mac and Windows compatible, though the ASIO driver is only available for Windows.
Notably, the software itself has continually improved since the product came to market and free updates are available to registered users and the i2M's internal software, Firmware, is upgradable. I've read that the i2M works with iPod touches, iPhones & iPads and it's compatible with applications that support audio and MIDI via the Camera Kit USB docking adaptor.
You can get the Sonuus i2m Musicport for around $150

Reluctance to examine patients limits pharmacists' clinical reasoning skills, according to research by Manchester University. The researchers asked 11 nurse and 10 pharmacist independent prescribers to think aloud about the management of clinical vignettes.
Nurse and pharmacist independent prescribers (generally working in hospital-based services) approached the clinical vignettes "holistically", the researchers found. Nurses, however, tended to describe interacting with patients and seven said that they would perform a physical examination.
Pharmacists were generally more focused on medical notes and laboratory results. Only two pharmacists, both nutrition specialists, said that they would perform a physical examination, either by looking at the patient or searching for certain signs related to their speciality.
Five pharmacists mentioned physical examination skills while thinking aloud, but they would not perform the examination. Pharmacists expected that other members of the multidisciplinary team would perform the examinations and document the results in the notes.
"Pharmacists' reluctance to examine patients is a limiting factor for their clinical reasoning skills compared with other prescribers, such as nurses and doctors," the study authors comment.
According to the GPhC, pharmacists should be taught relevant clinical examination skills during their independent prescribing programmes. Nurses, however, tend to be competent in clinical assessment, diagnosis and history-taking before starting such programmes.
The authors suggest that "this could explain why pharmacists report lacking confidence with such examinations" and say that "the professional culture of pharmacy" is one in which "pharmacists report being unused to physical contact with patients, viewing themselves as experts in medicines, not diagnoses".

Secret Wisdom
- Three Root Tantras of the Great Perfection
— by Christopher Wilkinson
This book contains translations of three Tantras on the Great Perfection, or Dzogchen.
A Tantra is a sacred, and often esoteric, work of literature. The Great Perfection is held by its followers to be the highest pathway in the Buddhist tradition.
The teachings these Tantras contain are considered so rare and precious that the first two, The Secret Wisdom of the Great Perfection (translated by Vairotsana) and Clarity Equal to the Limit , clearly declare themselves to be secret. The third Tantra, on the other hand, Vajrasattva of the Great Sky , insists that it must be taught to anyone who wishes to study it.
The Secret Wisdom of the Great Perfection in particular sets very definite limits on just who should be allowed to read it, and insists its distribution is to be limited, while The Great Sky of Vajrasattva demands that it be taught without limitation.
All of these works are considered 'Old Translations', and may date as far back as the 8th century of our era. They are retained in a compendium of manuscripts knows as The Hundred Thousand Tantras of the Old Ones , or rNying ma rgyud 'bum.
The importance of this literature for historians, linguists, those who focus on the History of Ideas, scholars and practitioners of Buddhism, specialists in classical literature, and those who focus on esoteric tradations cannot be overestimated. The works contained herein also give us a window into the condition of Indian, Chinese, and Silk Route concerns of the period in which the Tang Dynasty was at its height and during which the Tibetan Empire was still strong.

Production boost for Iona Energy at Huntington
Iona Energy Inc. has announced an operational update on its Huntington Oil Field located in the UK North Sea.
During February 2014, Iona produced on average 5,150 boepd as long periods of inclement weather previously experienced in the region subsided. Net to Iona, February's production levels represent an increase of 54% over the 2013 fourth quarter average and 84% over January 2014 volumes.
The month saw gross Huntington production peak at 34,420 boepd (6,041 boepd net to Iona) with a monthly average of 28,000 boepd (4,914 boepd net to Iona) resulting from minor delays to offloading due to weather. The Voyageur FPSO continues to perform well, having passed its Performance & Reliability Test on March 1st. To date, Huntington has offloaded 19 cargos and produced over 4 million barrels of oil equivalent with Iona's net share of production being above 0.7 million barrels of oil equivalent. The Huntington partnership continues to realize Brent prices above the year to date average of USD108.42/bbl, and gas prices in the UK remain robust above USD10.50/mcf.
The working interests in the Huntington field are E.ON E&P UK Ltd (25% Operator), Premier Oil plc (40%), Noreco Oil (UK) Limited (20%), and Iona (15%). In addition to the working interest, Iona holds a gross overriding royalty of 2.55% of the total Huntington production, payable from the other Huntington joint venture partners.

Founded by Pradeep Dadha in June 2015, the startup managed to bag $50 million in funding from a clutch of investors, including US-based investment firm OrbiMed and MAPE Advisory.
"We've had more than a 100 year experience in this business. Dadha & Co was one of the most trusted pharmacies till we merged with Sun Pharmaceuticals," says Pradeep Dadha, whose father S Mohanchand Dadha currently sits on the board of Sun Pharma.
Netmeds.com offers customers a range of more than 25,000 products everyday on their site, including OTC drugs and medical devices. "The value proposition we offer is that we cater to tier-2 and tier-3 cities and we are reaching pockets that have so far been out of the purview of brick and mortar stores. We use India Post and courier services like Blue Dart. Sometimes our own delivery boys for deliveries in and around Chennai. We are currently catering to more than 320 cities in India," says Dadha. Another selling point at Netmeds is the pricing. "Since we don't have the overhead costs of running a brick and mortar store, we are able to give good discounts to our customers.Sourcing has always been a strong point given our experience in this industry," says Dadha.
With regard to possible regulatory hurdles, Netmeds says it has a pharmacist vetting each order just as they do in normal stores, before the order is approved. "We deliver drugs only on prescription. Say we did not have in stock, what your doctor has prescribed for you, we cannot give you the generic version of that drug unless your doctor's prescription specifically says so," says Dadha.
And to ward off any possible complications, Netmeds has also taken a policy decision to not supply any habit-forming drugs. "If you wanted a sleeping tablet and even if you had a prescription for it, we still won't accept the order," says Dadha.
Netmeds is also planning to expand the number of warehouses and improve its logistics. "We are trying to reduce on the time taken for delivery to 24 hours from the three days it now takes us," says Bruce Schwack, cofounder, Netmeds.
For its investors, it was the man behind the company. "We invested primarily because of Pradeep. We were impressed with his domain understanding of pharma space and technology initiatives over the last 10-15 years. He has a penchant for growth and a strong entrepreneurial hunger," says M Ramprasad, chairman and co-founder, MAPE Advisory.

Joan Crawford Wasn't Nominated For A 'Baby Jane' Oscar, But She Stole The Awards Night Spotlight — VIDEO
I'm keeping track of all the things I've learned from Feud: Bette And Joan so far: Acting talent isn't hereditary, lounge wear was much cooler in the '60s, and Bette Davis and Joan Crawford never met a topic they couldn't have a knockdown drag-out fight over. As production is starting to wrap on Whatever Happened To Baby Jane? in the series, the actors are looking towards — and bickering about — industry reception. Who'll benefit the most from the picture? And which of them will win the Academy Award? Barring a tie, only one woman can. And it wasn't the woman Davis expected. Crawford didn't even get an Oscar nomination for Baby Jane, but she still walked away with a statue.
I love this story because it's a masterclass in how to be petty. No one has even pulled a pettier stunt than Joan Crawford at the 1963 Oscars. Here's what happened: Bette Davis was nominated for the Oscar for her performance as the demented ghost of a child star, Baby Jane, alongside Katherine Hepburn for Long Day's Journey Into Night, Geraldine Page for Sweet Bird Of Youth, Lee Remick for Days Of Wine And Roses, and Anne Bancroft for The Miracle Worker. Crawford was snubbed by the Academy. And this must have stung, especially since it was her idea to work with Davis on this project anyway.
But as you must have gathered by now from Feud, Crawford was not a woman to crawl away to lick her wounds after a defeat. Instead, she worked out a scheme to get her second triumphant Academy Awards moment, regardless of that pesky lack of a nomination. (She won the Best Actress Oscar in 1946 for Mildred Pierce.) According to The New York Post, Crawford wrote letters to Page and Bancroft. She knew they were both in New York, and kindly offered to accept the award on their behalf in the event that one of them won and was not able to attend the ceremony in Los Angeles.
Anne Bancroft won the Best Actress Oscar at the 1963 ceremony. Her proxy, Joan Crawford, accepted the award for her. Davis, I presume, was seething silently in the audience. Video of this moment thankfully exists. Please observe Crawford's complete lack of shame. (Bonus Vegas comedy by Frank Sinatra!)
But the fun didn't stop there. Photographers were on-hand later to capture the moment when Crawford brought Bancroft her Oscar directly to the Broadway theater where the latter was starring in Mother Courage And Her Children.
Though it appears on Feud that Davis thought Crawford capable of anything, her coup at the Oscars surprised even the nemesis who knew her best. According to Vulture, Davis spoke later of the moment that Crawford strolled onstage to collect Bancroft's award, saying, "I almost dropped dead! I was paralyzed with shock. To deliberately upstage me like that — her behavior was despicable."
The FX series examines the showbiz misogyny that fanned the flames of Davis and Crawford's bitter battle, and it's all very disturbing and sad. But there was an honesty about their blatant rivalry that's lost in the era of air-kissing and chats by the Mani Cam. What Joan Crawford did at the 1963 Oscars was transparently vicious, and she was fine with that.

Former Ormond Beach resident Morris Henderson reflects on growing up in the city's African American community.
Morris Henderson sat between rows of library books and reflected on growing up in Ormond Beach. He remembered figures from his past, several of whom are now featured in the book "Images of America: Ormond Beach," which he flipped through.
"We used to go to in his yard, sometimes we'd go without him knowing it," Henderson chuckled as he recalled living down the road from Essie Ramsey, a prominent community figure. "He had a big grape vine and a whole yard full of fruit. We would get his oranges and tangerines."
Henderson works as a librarian for the Ormond Beach Regional Library and puts together the displays for Black History Month. Though the library prominently displays national figures in African-American history, Henderson said there is quite a bit to learn in Ormond Beach.
Ramsey, who was known for being the caretaker at the Reynolds home on Halifax Drive and caddying for John Rockefeller, used to throw parties at the recreation center on Division Street. Henderson attended the parties and said everyone looked up to Ramsey.
"He was a figure to everybody in the community," Henderson said. "His wife used to make the best potato pies. We could buy them for 30 cents. He just looked after the community."
Henderson, who lived in Ormond Beach for about 40 years before moving to Maryland, attended St. John Missionary Baptist Church, where the Rev. Walter Wolfe preached. According to "Images of America: Ormond Beach," Wolfe was a devoted leader to his community. He and his wife, Bertha, celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary on July 30, 1998. Henderson attended that church for 25 years.
Minnie Wade was Henderson's second-grade teacher. "Images of America: Ormond Beach," states that she spent her life serving Ormond Beach, and that her volunteer affiliations were countless. Henderson remembers her as being one of the nicest teachers he and his friends ever had.
"She got us to go to church, even the ones who didn't want to go, like me, Henderson said. "She was just a nice figure in the community. She passed away three years ago."
Henderson said Officer Fred Powers was always at his house because Henderson's brother was in trouble all the time. In 1952, Powers joined the Ormond Beach Police Department where Henderson said he was the second black police officer in the city. According to "Images of America: Ormond Beach," Powers was the first officer to retire with 20 years of night-duty service. Henderson said dealing with the police was a lot different back then.
"Everything was nice back in the day," Henderson said. "This young generation is wild now but, back in the day, you could get in trouble, and one of the officers would see you and take you home and beat you. Then you'd get home, and your mom would beat you. Nowadays, you get shot if you do something like that. ... Back in the day, if you were 12 or 13, you were back in the house at 7 p.m."
Though now Henderson lives in Daytona Beach, he still spends quite a bit of time in Ormond. He said it's important to keep memories like his alive.
"It was an exciting time. If I could go back, I would. Keep the generation going. Keep the history going. Keep it going."

Brighton & Hove Albion defender Lewis Dunk says it will be a great experience to link up with England's record goalscorer Wayne Rooney this week.
Rooney will win his 120th and final cap in Thursday's friendly with the United States at Wembley - while Dunk hopes to make his Three Lions debut.
Dunk was an unused substitute for Nations League matches with Croatia and Spain last month and England now meet the United States in a friendly, before they host Croatia in the Nations League at Wembley on Sunday.
England players report for international duty today and on linking up with Rooney, Dunk said: "He's a legend of this country and deservedly so.
"It will be a great experience to be with players like him and there's other such good players there already.
"It can only help me and improve me training with those players. It will be a great experience."

I had so many problems with this phone!
Ever since I got this phone since 5 months ago, I have been having problems with it! The phone would shut itself off! I would almost never get the phone calls! I would have to restart my phone to get text messages from two days ago! Ugh...I called my service, they gave me, a new sims card, a new battery, and new phone (the same one)...and still! Id say do not buy this phone! And no it was not my service! It was a total waste of my time!
*Good camera quality
*Converter (inches to feet....etc etc)
*Text messages don't come in until i restart my phone
*Phone calls never came through
*Kept saying "Network rejected"
*Failed to open messages
*kept asking for PUK code (when i didn't do nothing to it!)
Not too bad
This is the first LG I've ever owned, I've always been a Nokia and Motorola user and I was n't too sure about trying LG.
-Very aesthetically pleasing, the gloss black gives it a very nice look.
-Great Reception (never had a dropped call in 3 months)
-Good sound clarity
-Works well with most Java applications
-Good battery life
-Easy to read display
-Speaker phone
-Only speaker is on the inner side of the clam shell so it muffles ringing and requires the phone to be open while using speaker phone
-Speaker Phone distorts unless it's turned on low
-The camera at 0.3mp at 640x480 leaves a lot to be desired but it pretty average.
-No flash on camera
-Small main screen
-Outside screen is black/white lcd with a background that has clouds on it. This is physically part of the LCD and can not be removed with out damaging the screen.
-Can't change speaker volume unless fully connected in a call, turning it up while the phone is ringing on an outgoing call does nothing.
-alarm clock will only ring as loud as the ring volume is set to so it's easy to sleep right through it if it's not turned all the way up.
-Glossy finish and screen are a magnet for finger prints.
Though I listed a lot of con's I still like the phone and am in no rush to get anything else.
AD reviews continues below...
Terrible phone
I have had this phone for about 6 months now, and for the past 5 and 1/2, I have been wishing for a different one.
Sleek, good looking phone
Color outside screen is nice
Large numbers for time/date
Vibrate is not very loud
Rings too quiet even on loudest setting
Battery life is horrible - less than 3 days on standby for me.
Menu is difficult to navigate
Text messaging system is annoying
Custom ringtones have to be incredibly short - I make my own ringtones, and can barely have anything longer than 10 seconds for a ring tone, which severely limits my options.
Overall, I will never own another LG. I'm going back to Nokia or Motorola.
Life SUCKS when you have LG
I have had the Cingular LG CG225 since May of 2006 and it has been absolutely horrible! I started with the LG C2000 and one day the speaker had some kind of malfunction that a person from Cingular told me was a Manufacturing error. I had it replaced through Cingular's Warranty exchange program for free. I got my next phone. It stopped recieving calls and making calls all together and text messages and would only show up when you restarted the phone. I was upset with cingular and demanded a new phone so they moved me to this phone, the LG CG225. The first one in less than a month started glitching the same way the second LG C2000 did, again not my fault. I had it replaced. This one has missed few calls and is very scratchy sounding but the Text Messaging Software lost all of it's working ability. I could not write a word. And I am a big texter.
Nice Looking phone
Good Camera
Easy Opperation
Soft Speaker
Breaks all the time, and if you are out of warranty you are screwed
Speaker broke while the phone was ringing.
Texting Software stopped working.
The only reason this phone got so high as a 0.5 is that SOMETIMES it was able to receive calls and make calls.
DO NOT buy this phone.
Looks Good, Less Gloss
It's hard to believe that this phone replaced the C2000. The CG225 is inferior in almost every possible way, from fit and finish to screen quality to call quality to battery life. Reminds me of when the Rabbit replaced the Beetle, for cryin' out loud.
First of all, as others have mentioned, the fingerprint issue is a big deal. Unless you're one of those schlubs who doesn't care about the way your stuff looks, steer clear of this thing. I found myself wiping it clean every time I touched it, which, in a word, drove me bugsh*t.
The screen looks like someone gave it the Vaseline treatment, so if you're into actually using your screen, forget about it. It'll give you a headache.
+ Looks slick
+ Good keypad
- Call quality is sub-standard
- Fingerprint magnet
- Screen quality lacks, uh, quality
- Somewhat heavy
There are better offerings out there from LG. If you're in the market for a cheap phone and don't want to sign a contract, try rounding up a C2000. It's a better device from top to bottom.
LG is the best [...]
very sleek phone stylish great camera will fit in most pockets
Ed. note: title edited
LG...Lame Game
well lets see. I had it for 2 days, then it pissed me off enough that i took it back. stupid stupid phone.lets make it easy.
-good reception
-style is HOTTT, all black is good for me.
-takes great pictures.
-you cant close it with speaker phone on, or it hangs up. which is bad because the backlight stays on, you cant turn it off, and it kills the batter insanely fast.
-you cant close it and take a pic. It looks like you could with the big screen.
-the outside screens background is CLOUDS. and you CANT change it.
-buttons. in class when ur trying to text and not get caught... the buttons are crapp so the make sound. bad. bad. bad.
-ringtones. ever watched the weather channel?
i think the share the same ringtones.
-its booooring. like all LG phones.
dis-including chocolate and new thin LG for cingular. not out yet. should be out in a few months :).
besides all that. its crappy.
if u have it and dont like it,
you can go to a cingular store
and "recycle" your phone.
the gave me 40$ for my sony T637 which is almost 5 yrs old...recycle it. even tho you want to THROW it.

Hyundai has revealed the first pictures of the BLUE-WILL, a plug-in hybrid concept car the automaker will reveal at the Seoul Motor Show on April 2nd, 2009. The car's parallel hybrid system features a 1.6-liter direct injection gasoline motor, a 100 kilowatt electric motor, a continuously variable transmission, and a lithium ion polymer battery pack.
The lithium ion polymer pack is the first use of the technology in a production car, according to Hyundai, and is situated next to the fuel tank underneath the rear seats to maximize storage space in the trunk. The car also has a panoramic roof which integrates dye-sensitized solar cells in order to regenerate the batteries without blocking the view. Various parts of the car will be made from recycled materials, including bioplastics, plants, and soft drink bottles and will also be bio-degradable.

Monday, June 13, 2011
With the City budget deadline looming, the City Council is pouring over the New York City's multi-billion dollar budget -- trying to find the hundreds of millions of dollars needed to prevent teachers layoffs and fire company closures. One area of city spending getting additional scrutiny is the hundreds of millions paid each year to settle lawsuits.
Last year, the city paid an historic $136 million to settle claims against the NYPD. More than 40 percent of those settlements stemmed from civil rights claims for things like excessive force and false arrest.
Brooklyn's East New York's 75th precinct is one of New York's poorest neighborhoods, but a crime fighting success story. Murders are down from 109 in 1990 to just 33 last year. But the precinct is also one of the most aggressive in the city when it comes to 'stop and frisks,' a controversial strategy that overwhelmingly impacts men of color living in high crime areas.
Richard McDowell, 30, said he was in his favorite bodega on Liberty Street back in the fall of 2009, getting some groceries and a beer.
"Two officers came inside, passed by two people in the store to come directly to me and ask me to step outside and I did -- had my hands up immediately," recalled McDowell. "I did not want to cause any problems or anything."
Once outside, McDowell said he was handcuffed.
"Now, I knew something was wrong because I hadn't done anything and I turned around and looked to them and said 'what was wrong, what are you doing?' and that is when everything went bad," said McDowell.
McDowell said the arrest soon flared into a scuffle. "They started hitting me in the abdomen area and in my chest. What had happened was one of the officers near these steps somehow fell down and hurt his ankle and immediately after that went down they called 'man down' on the radio as if i had shot somebody. They were still hitting me at the time and I was pinned from behind and being hit from all sides."
McDowell says he was beaten and maced. He was charged with assault, resisting arrest, possession of marijuana and consumption of alcohol. He was held for 48 hours in the precinct. McDowell said he has spent many if his 30 year out on the streets, --- his mother died of cancer when he was 13. He said he has a record for marijuana possession, but not for anything violent. And he claims on this day he did not have any pot on him.
"When the judge first saw me for arraignment he looked at my file and said he thought it was laughable," said McDowell. "The opposing counsel was so upset that he threw the file and than kicked the desk when they gave me release on my own recognizance."
McDowell was called before the Grand Jury twice and convinced the jurors that he was innocent. All charges against him were dismissed.
"That's the whole thing my record will tell you. If i am guilty of something and I am caught, i will plead guilty. But if I am innocent and I had nothing to do with it i will fight. I always will fight," vowed McDowell.
From Suspect to Plaintiff
And fight he is with a Federal civil rights law suit being brought against the City by attorney Leo Glickman, whose law firm specializes in cases like McDowell's. Glickman said McDowell's case is not isolated.
"It is the kind of incident that does not get reported in the newspaper but that happens every day. There is no response. There is no apology. Someone goes through the system and they are released or they are not indicted and they are supposed to go on with their lives," said Glickman. "Meanwhile, they have spent a few days in the system and live with the horror of the criminal justice system."
Glickman said his clients are usually poor people of color who are angry at how they were treated by the police and looking for redress. He says 99 percent of the claims he brings are settled out of court.
"And when we ask them what do they want to get out of this litigation, often the answer is 'I want the police officer to be fired' and we tell them 'That's not likely to be happen,'" said Glickman.
There is a structural reason for that. The city's Corporation Counsel handles all of the suits brought against the NYPD, but only regularly provides specific details to the NYPD on cases that are expected to settle for two hundred and fifty thousand dollars or more. That's only two percent of the cases that are filed. That means the majority of claims fly under the NYPD radar.
Cynthia Conti-Cook is an associate in Glickman's firm. She said she has identified police officers who repeatedly surface in Civil Rights settlements that don't make the newspaper. She says should require follow up.
"There's no note of how many law suits are in his [a police officer's] personnel file," Conti-Cook says. "There's no knowledge among his supervisors that he is a civil rights liability for the department."
Glickman said street policing policies can mean brisk business for his firm. They get 30 percent of the value of their clients' settlement.
"We represent clients quite often who have been stopped and frisked. You know they have spent 30 minutes in a sort of street detention and than they are just released and we might get seventy five hundred dollars for that," estimated Glickman.
Plaintiff Richard McDowell awaits his day in court or a settlement. He has moved to Portland, Maine, where he says the shelters are more humane and the attitude towards pot less punitive.
"You can be able to grow your six plants of your own and everything and they even sell you seeds,"said McDowell. He also says the prospects for day labor are better.
Closing the Loop
Legislation proposed by City Council Public Safety chair Peter Vallone would bring more transparency and accountability to the whole police tort claim process. Vallone's bill would require the City's lawyers disclose to the City Council specifics on all settlements reached on behalf of the NYPD including the officers and precincts involved.
According to statistics from City Comptroller John Liu's office, the cost of settling civil rights claims against the NYPD jumped by 15 percent in the last two years.
The NYPD wants to see more of these claims go to trial. They may get their wish. The City's Corporation Counsel hopes to hire 28 new lawyers to handle the civil rights claims. When there is no NYPD wrong doing the Department believes the out of court settlements undermines the public's trust in the department.
Getting Clues Whatever Their Source
UCLA Law Professor Joanna Schwartz has studied and written extensively on how the nation's local municipal police departments use the information contained in lawsuits brought against them. She says even unsuccessful claims can contain worthwhile clues that can improve police performance.
"The NYPD and most police departments around the country do not systematically gather information from law suits with an eye towards learning from those suits," said Schwartz. "They don't collect information about which officers were sued, what claims were alleged, what information was generated during the course of litigation, what the result of the case was, or how much was paid." said Schwartz.
Schwartz said even though taxpayers and insurance companies are paying out hundreds of millions annually to settle claims against local police, just a handful of jurisdictions mine the claims for lessons learned.
"There is not good data about how much is paid out in lawsuits each year, " said Schwartz. "You have to remember, there are 18,000 police departments across the country and so getting that kind of figure would be very hard. But if you do simple math, adding up the large departments, you have to think it is over half a billion dollars a year, that's my estimate." This huge sum is being paid out even as local governments lay off thousands of cops across the country to make up for state and Federal cuts in local aid.
Schwartz studied five departments that made it a point to study the information contained in lawsuits brought against them. Schwartz said the Los Angeles Sheriff's Department, and police departments in Seattle, Portland, Denver and Chicago "systematically gather and analyze information from lawsuits." Schwartz said the departments successfully use the data "to identify and correct personnel and policy failures," as well to double-check the integrity of their own internal investigations.
"A small case that is resolved for a small amount of money can be the source of department-wide policy change," said Schwartz. "Even if a case doesn't result in a large settlement, that policy change may very well prevent larger suits and larger mishaps down the road."

College football's opening weekend was beset by weather delays and it was no different last week for Florida Atlantic University and Miami, which had its game put on hold for more than an hour because of alleged lightning (we're still researching that story).
But one enterprising meteorologist decided to put together a spreadsheet to see what schools are most likely to experience game delays because of thunderstorms.
Alex Lamers, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Tallahassee, who worked on his football project on the side, said it was no shock that Florida schools topped his list.
"Unsurprisingly, the results show that some of the greatest lightning frequencies are near stadium locations in Florida," Lamers wrote on his blog Alex's Weather Notes. All seven of the FBS Florida universities were in the top 11 overall. Almost every spot in the state experiences at least 70 days of thunderstorms per year."
Lamers only looked at dates between September and November, and between noon and midnight – peak college football times.
Check out this interactive map Lamers put together:

James O'Keefe, the young videographer who caused an uproar last year by surreptitiously recording himself and an associate, posing as a pimp and prostitute, getting business advice from workers at Acorn, has given his first TV interview after his arrest at Senator Mary Landrieu's office in New Orleans last month.
In the interview, Mr. O'Keefe calls the episode, in which he was arrested along with three other politically connected young men, some of whom were wearing what seemed to be telephone-repair gear, a "misunderstanding."
Others suspect that they were trying to bug the senator's phones.
Mr. O'Keefe contends that they were intent on exposing Ms. Landrieu's supposed inability to respond to constituents' calls. Mr. O'Keefe kept insisting in the TV interview that voters were upset that Ms. Landrieu had received $300 million in exchange for her vote on the health care bill — what some conservatives are calling, inevitably, "the Louisiana purchase."
But, as various pundits, lawmakers and others have pointed out, the $300 million was in fact a proposed outlay for Medicaid in Louisiana in the wake of Hurricane Katrina, and not to line her pockets.
Andrew Breitbart, of Breitbart TV, who said he guided Mr. O'Keefe through the play-out of the Acorn uproar, is now questioning the length of time that Mr. O'Keefe was held in custody without seeing his lawyer. Mr. O'Keefe did not address that issue with Sean Hannity during the interview.

Mr.Kiruba Shankar, CEO of Business Blogging was recently inducted into IBM's MasterMind program which gives easy access to IBM's top brass as well as their latest technologies. He attended the Moblize Conference in Mumbai which showed IBM's latest innovations in the mobile space.Here is a small case excerpt of how IBM's innovation helped the Asian Paints.
Asian Paints Limited, India's largest paint company and is Asia's third largest paint company, operating in 65 countries. It has been used on over thousands of houses, factories and automobiles since its inception in 1942. Owing to its large distribution network, 600 sales personnel and 25,000 dealers, it faced challenges in keeping track of customer expectations such as registering, checking complaint status and filing reports. Lack of an automated system led Asian Paints to manage these operations manually that further resulted in time delays. Asian Paints also had a need to provide its call center agents a software that integrates productivity tools based on open source technology with traditional Microsoft Office applications. The software needed to be pocket and user friendly.
IBM India Software Lab (ISL) helped Asian Paints implement automated sales force software called MPower on palmtop computers using IBM Lotus Expeditor infrastructure. It helped the sales force to connect to data at the headquarters and execute tasks such as process sales order, check order status, check inventory in warehouse, take customer feedback and comments. It even made possible for sales managers to provide coaching online since information right from the start to the end of the deal is fed into the system. The software also let the salesperson to access and analyze the information on the move. To cater to the call center solutions, Asian Paints rolled out IBM Lotus Symphony software that integrated productivity tools based on open source technology with Microsoft Office applications at minimal cost.
The benefits of these methods were immense. The implemented automated process accelerated the sales process, increased customer satisfaction due to the ability to process feedback in real time, coach employees, monitor employees progress, easy work environment for call center agents, minimized training demands on new call center employees and lowered total cost of ownership.
In his weekly column at Financial Express, Kiruba writes about his experience on using Amazon Kindle…
It's been over three months that I've been living with an Amazon Kindle. For those of you contemplating investing in an Amazon Kindle, this review would come in mighty handy.
Amazon was one who practically created a market for eBook readers when they launched Kindle, very successfully way back in 2007. The first model was clunky but the technology was path breaking. The success of Kindle spawned an entire generation of rival products. In keeping with competition, the Kindle2 is a far improved product.
The biggest advantage for ebooks like Kindle is that they use the E-Ink technology that closely mimics the printed paper. You are almost tempted to touch the screen and feel the roughness of the paper!

... and after a long damp month, with much less sunshine than usual, we have finally hap a couple of dry days and today has been wonderfully sunny, if cold.
In fact cold seems to be dominating the forecast for the next week or so. The winter started mildly, but it seems to be dragging out with this late cold spell. There is little real movement in the garden and the hedgerows, so it seems the plants are going to be late starting this spring.
Having said that, the winter pansies (left) look well in the sunshine, and the rosemary (above) is covered in pale blue flowers.
There has been quite a bit of wind over the last couple of days which has helped to dry things up a it, and I was able to get out and give the grass its first mow of the season this afternoon - a little later than it often is on account of the very wet month we've had.

HCM CITY — The health sector should encourage full autonomy at public hospitals, including financial independence as well as autonomy in personnel recruitment and bids for medicine and equipment, Party Committee Secretary of HCM City, Đinh La Thăng, has said.
Hospitals with financial autonomy should be responsible for conducting bids for medicine and equipment, Thăng said at a meeting with leaders of the Ministry of Health on Sunday.
The city had seven public hospitals operating with financial autonomy, said Nguyễn Thị Ngọc Dung, rector of Phạm Ngọc Thạch University of Medicine.
Hospitals with financial autonomy should be allowed to conduct their own bids for medicine and equipment instead of waiting for centralised bidding, Dung said.
Many public hospitals ran out of supplies and equipment because of the long waiting time needed for centralised bidding, she said.
Thăng also asked the health sector to take proactive steps to use the State budget as well as capital from society to develop medical infrastructure and facilities.
"Social mobilisation in the health sector will help local residents enjoy better healthcare services," Thăng said.
Tăng Chí Thượng, deputy director of the city's Department of Health said that major hospitals such as the Oncology Hospital, the Paediatrics Hospital No.1, the Paediatrics Hospital No.2, Hospital for Traumatology and Orthopaedics and Gia Định Hospital were frequently overloaded.
To reduce overloading and improve quality of health services, projects to build new hospitals and medical facilities are under or waiting for construction.
The city's Paediatrics Hospital project in Bình Chánh District which is expected to be put into operation in September will help reduce overloading at Paediatrics Hospital No.1 and Paediatrics Hospital No. 2.
The second Oncology Hospital in the city's District 9 project is expected to be completed in 2018.
However, many projects have been delayed because of complications related to site clearance, investment procedures and investors' failure to begin their projects.
The Sài Gòn General Hospital, the new HCM City Hospital for Traumatology and Orthopaedics and general hospitals in Thủ Đức, Hóc Môn and Củ Chi districts are among the delayed projects.
The city's Party Committee Secretary has asked authorities to accelerate the construction process of new hospitals to reduce overloading at major hospitals.
Obstacles faced by private investors to develop projects in the medical sector should be addressed in a timely manner, he said.
He said new contractors should be chosen if projects run behind schedule.
The Government should offer favourable conditions to encourage public-private partnerships in the health sector, said Võ Đức Chiến, director of Nguyễn Tri Phương Hospital.
The social mobilisation policy would help generate resources from society to replace medical facilities which were built 40 years ago, Chiến said.
Private investors would build and operate hospitals for 20 to 30 years before transferring them to the Government, Chiến said.
The Government should also devise policies to ensure benefits for private investors, he added.
Many of the Government's recently issued policies had encouraged private investment in the healthcare sector, said Phan Văn Báu, director of the People's Hospital 115.
Many private hospitals with modern equipment were now operating at a moderate level due to a lack of patients, while public hospitals experience overcrowding with patients, Báu said.
The health sector should offer co-operation between public and private hospitals for links and referral of patients between State and private hospitals.
Minister of Health Nguyễn Thị Kim Tiến said the city should have breakthrough policies on resource mobilisation to attract private investment to the health sector.
"It is necessary to mobilise capital from various resources to develop medical infrastructure and increase the number of hospital beds, including public-private partnerships, socialised capital and ODA capital," Tiến said. — VNS

Or better titled I've just registered my DLL in the GAC, why does it not appear in Visual Studio's "Find Reference" dialog.
It's probably the first thing people notice after they've started using the GAC for the first time. You've managed to register your DLL and you've confirmed it is in the GAC, but it just won't appear in Visual Studio's "Add Reference" dialog box. As it turns out, for what were probably good reasons, the visual studio team decided to use the registery to hold the list of DLLs that appear in the "Add Reference" dialog box.
You have two options, the first is to manually edit the registry - adding your DLL to the following registery keys:
- [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\.NETFramework\AssemblyFolders]
- [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\.NETFramework\AssemblyFolders]
Another option is to install the Visual Studio extension MUSE.VSExtensions, which adds an extra option to the context sensitive menu when you right mouse click on "References". The exta option is "Add GAC Reference" which pops up a new dialog box listing all the items currently held in the GAC - no messing around in the registery each time you add something new to the GAC. It is worth noting that the search is case sensitive.
See Adding a DLL to the GAC in .NET 4.0 for more information on adding DLL's to the GAC in .NET 4.0 and differences between this and earlier versions of the framework.

The Last Work of Art on Earth
The Last Work of Art on Earth is an installation. It is part of 'A series of Dull and Meaningless Works of Art', a group of works that I started in March 2016 during a 15-months art research project called The Red Van.
- video one: main video shows me (the artist) talking about The Last Work of Art on Earth in my father's workshop in the village of Lugnez in Swiss Jura.
- Video two: shows a music & performance-based piece (should via headphones)
- Video three: displays the animated title of the work (The Last Work of Art on Earth).
- Balloon: refers to Ben Kinmont's work This isn't it during curated by_vienna 2016 at Unttld Contemporary, Vienna (http://www.unttld-contemporary.com/en/).
The Last Work of Art on Earth should not be taken too seriously. It is a satirical reflection on the general understanding and non-understanding of art and the entire art market (including artists, exhibitors & influencers). It poses the following questions:
- What is the role of the artists, the collectors, the exhibitors and the influencers?
- Where are they situated within the art market?
- What is an artwork?
Besides this, the work questions the seriousness & 'real' profundity of works of art as well as the very reasons why certain works of art reach popularity.
The presentation of The Last Work of Art on Earth is flexible & can be adapted to the available space.
