My dear brothers and sisters in Christ,
Addiction continues to be a pervasive problem in America. Locally, we have seen the negative impact of alcohol and substance abuse on our parish families and communities. This is why I requested Catholic Charities and the Program for the Development of Human Potential (PDHP) to collaborate in developing a response to this problem. Together, these two diocesan agencies developed the Diocesan Alcohol and Substance Abuse Assistance Program which is now up and running. We are happy to report that since the program's inception, local parishioners have called and been connected to the resource they or their loved ones need in order to deal with problems of addiction.
They have been linked to a network of over 30 service providers that collectively offer a broad range of response to the different needs of individuals and families who suffer the effects of addiction. This service network includes programs from all over the city that specialize in various types of treatment as well as in particular populations: youth or adults, men or women, and some that offer services in multiple languages such as English and Spanish, Russian or Polish.
In order to access this network of reputable service providers, one only needs to place a confidential call to the Substance Abuse hotline: (800) 659-1603. The number has been regularly publicized in parish bulletins, and each time this is announced, a flurry of calls is received at the Catholic Charities Flatbush Addiction Treatment Center where the hotline number is based. People from our Diocese have called either to request information about Alcoholics Anonymous/Narcotics Anonymous (AA/NA) meetings, to inquire about how to recognize the signs of substance abuse in a loved one, or to request referrals to specific inpatient and outpatient treatment services. These referrals are made to the network of service providers that the Substance Abuse Program has done a great job of assembling. Calls have come from concerned family members as well as from caring parish staff. I urge anyone who has any concerns about addiction to make a confidential call to the Substance Abuse hotline. This may be the most important call you make! For more information about the Diocesan Alcohol and Substance Abuse Program, go to the Catholic Charities Web site: http://www.ccbq.org/.
September marks the 18th annual National Alcohol and Drug Addiction Recovery Month. We are reminded that recovery from alcohol and substance abuse in all its forms is possible. In connection with this, we will be united with two national events aimed at promoting the importance of recovery efforts: Recovery Sunday, a special day of prayer for those in recovery from addictive illnesses, and Family Day, when families are encouraged to share a meal together as a helpful deterrent to substance abuse and other destructive behavior. The Diocese of Brooklyn has designated September 23-24 as Recovery Sunday and Family Day respectively. Brochures and information about Recovery Sunday and Family Day have been mailed out to all the parishes.
Recovery Sunday marks the annual day of prayer for all those struggling with, and in recovery from, addictive illnesses. Addictions to alcohol, drugs, gambling and relationships are among those that require treatment and our prayers. The consequences of these untreated illnesses affect us in all areas of our lives.
Monday, September 24, is designated as Family Day, when families are encouraged to take the time to share a meal together and communicate with one another. Research shows that children who regularly eat together with their families are more likely to communicate openly and are less likely to smoke, drink, or use drugs.
I continue to be deeply concerned about the prevalence of addiction in our communities. Statistics tell us that half of all Americans have family histories of addictive illness, 18 million people struggle with alcoholism, six million with other drugs, and another six million people struggle with gambling.
The effects of addiction on family and community are far-reaching. The cost to individuals and society is incalculable. Violent and property crimes are frequently associated with alcohol and drug abuse. There is much suffering in families where a member abuses alcohol or drugs. We must remember, however, that addiction is an illness — an illness that is treatable! The person who is suffering from the illness of alcohol or substance abuse deserves our compassion, support and prayers.
To seek help with addictions in all forms is an exercise of "putting out into the deep." Join me in prayer for all who struggle with addictions of any kind so that the Lord may grant them the grace of recovery.

Masks have been in use for thousands of years to disguise, to entertain and to protect their wearer. For centuries, masks have been fixtures at costume balls and carnivals. It was a grand way to have a bit of fun without letting on who you were. Today, masks have even made their way onto fashion runways.
The single most common use of masks today is for protection against smog, germs and toxic gases. On that health note, there are electric anti-aging masks and even a cancer fashion mask--both of which you'll find below.
Masks come in different forms from imagined Photoshop varieties to extreme face painting and even the surgically enhanced "masks" that celebrities wear. All of them disguise how their wearer truly looks.

Dispelling audio myths, the cable lie

Re: Dispelling audio myths, the cable lie
I sold high-end audio and video systems for twenty-five years. Being able to play with different combinations of equipment is very instructive. Certain components go well together and sound terrific, others less so. In a basic but fine-sounding system comprising a $499 CD player, a $499 integrated amplifier and a $450 pair of speakers we took turns listening to very familiar music while a colleague substituted different interconnect cables. Each staff member chose his own favorite tracks for his turn in the listening chair. We compared only two interconnects at a time. Sometimes cable A was used first, followed by cable B. Other times cable B was in use first. In all cases the person changing the cables would go behind the equipment rack (located behind the listener!) and fiddle around for the same amount of time. Each piece of music was played for two minutes; the interconnect was then changed and the same music was again played for two minutes at the same volume setting.
Under these conditions, with familiar music I preferred the resulting sound from a particular interconnect on seven out of eight music selections. On one piece of music the results were both similarly enjoyable.
The next day, using the same exact system and interconnects, we played the same eight music selections again at the same volume setting. This time, instead of choosing a preference, we attempted to identify which interconnect cable was in use - cable A or cable B. Two of my colleagues correctly identified which cable was in use six out of eight times. Myself and one other guy got all eight correct.
Over time, similar comparisons were performed on higher performance systems. For the most part it was easier to choose a preference and to correctly identify which interconnect was in use on those higher performance systems than it was on the "basic" system.
Certain caveats may be applied to these listening sessions. They took place in a purpose-built listening room, lightly furnished, with very low ambient background noise. No electrical AC power filters of any kind were used. All of the components including the speakers were set up on low-resonance racks, stands, or spikes as appropriate. No visual or audible clues (or cues) were available to the listener. All of the system components and interconnects that we tested or compared had previously been in use for over one hundred hours.
Our early comparisons pitted the standard RCA cable supplied in the box with the CD player against four different aftermarket cables (one at a time, of course). The standard RCA cable was chosen as the "preferred" sound 6% of the time across all four listeners.
Later, using a high-performance system with all of the components from the same manufacturer, the interconnect cable supplied in the box with the CD player was chosen as the "preferred" sound 75% of the time across all four of us. On the remaining music selections it was felt to be equally pleasing to one particular aftermarket cable.
After numerous unhurried comparisons over several months I took home the interconnect that I felt was the best of the interconnects that I could afford with my employee discount. It replaced another good interconnect that had been in my home system for nearly two years. After a few minutes my girlfriend arrived home. She walked in and said "That sounds nice. What did you change?" I declined to tell her but offered to play her favorite CD. She made tea and then sat down to listen. Halfway through the first track she said the female vocals were "more natural". By the third track she pronounced it to be a definite improvement, saying that the four voices were more easily distinguished and more nuanced and that sibilance was more realistic. When I showed her that the new component was an interconnect cable that would cost me around $400 she said "Buy it. I thought you were going to say it was a new whiz-bang amplifier or something that cost thousands".
I could have saved months of listening if I'd just let the girlfriend listen for five minutes. And, hey, she makes a great cup of tea, too.

Selling Intensity
Selling Intensity
Was it enough to put in a bottom?
There are certain things we look for when markets are selling off. Generally I'm looking for a level of selling intensity to reach a level that suggests the market has to bounce the next day.
We did not reach that level. So I am still bearish here. But the next few days are going to be interesting. Why?
Well, Friday's a trading holiday for stocks, but not futures. In addition, it's the first Friday of the month, so we get the ever so critical Friday Jobs Report. The market is really interested in this data. No I know I've made a name for myself saying that the news doesn't matter - that's because what matters is how traders position their money and trade their money during the day.
It's what I spoke about in Chicago at the World Money Show. And if you haven't seen the presentation or some interviews from my trip there, feel free to visit the homepage, and scroll to the bottom. They're all there... www.stockbarometer.com
(Note we're running a special this week - if you sign up to the DSB this week, you'll also get access to Stock Trading Secrets my 14 day trading course - and my day trading book as a bonus.)
So, generally speaking, I'm not seeing enough fear in this market to suggest this is a bottom. But throw in the fact that we have a couple of Key Reversal Dates approaching, first being Monday and the next one coming in at the end of April. So - what I would normally say at this point in time to my clients (you) is that the next two days will determine the next month... i.e. if the Stock market bounces today into Monday, then I would be more bearish - versus the stock market tanking today, and putting in a more signifiant low next week - then I'd be more bullish.
Also remember the market works differently in different time frames. In addition to many intra day systems, there are daily and weekly systems that kick in based on certain end of week action (like our retirement system). So how we close this week could kick those systems in starting next week...
Here's a look at the global markets:
On the economic front, here is the schedule for this week. Pay close attention to the timing of the report and the potential for the markets to make short term reversals at those points.
On to the charts:
Stock Barometer Analysis
We remain in Sell Mode, looking for markets to move lower into 4/9. Our next date after that is 4/25. It's critical how the market moves in the next two days as to our longer term forecast.
The Stock Barometer is my proprietary market timing system. The direction, slope and level of the Stock Barometer determine our outlook. For example, if the barometer line is moving down, we are in Sell Mode. A Buy or Sell Signal is triggered when the indicator clearly changes direction. Trend and support can override the barometer signals.
Money Management & Stops
To trade this system, there are a few things you need to know and address
to control your risk:
• This system targets intermediate term moves, of which even in the best years, there are usually only up to 7 profitable intermediate term moves. The rest of the year will be consolidating moves where this system will experience small losses and gains that offset each other.
• This system will usually result in losing trades more than 50% of the time, even in our best years. The key is being positioned properly for longer term moves when they come.
• Therefore it is vitally important that you apply some form of money management to protect your capital.
• Trading a leveraged index fund will result in more risk, since you cannot set stops and you cannot get out intraday.
• Make sure you set your stops so that you can lose no more than 2% per trade (based on the QQQQ if you're trading leveraged funds and options with our trading service).
Potential Cycle Key Reversal Dates
2012 Potential Reversal Dates: 1/12, 1/27, 2/16, 2/23, 3/16, 4/9, 4/25. These dates have an accuracy of +/- 2 days. We publish dates up to 2 months in advance.
We see the markets moving lower into 4/9 and then higher into 4/25. That being said, we'll analyze the market at 4/9 to see if the market is setting up for a larger move lower into 4/25. You NEVER know what you're going to get.
Subscribers to our IRG Market Timing and Sentiment data service can see the performance of these forecast turn dates going back to 2003 and for the remainder of 2012.
My Additional timing work is based on numerous cycles and has resulted in the above potential reversal dates. These are not to be confused with the barometer signals or cycle times. However, due to their past accuracy I post the dates here.
2011 Potential Reversal Dates: 1/15, 1/29, 2/16, 3/10, 3/18, 4/6, 5/21, 5/31, 6/13, 6/24, 7/16, 8/1, 8/19, 9/4, 9/25, 10/21, 10/25, 11/25, 12/26.2010 Potential Reversal Dates: 1/19, 1/28, 3/2, 3/23, 4/7, 5/30, 6/10, 6/28, 7/10, 8/13, 9/7, 10/2, 10/27, 11/21, 12/19. 2009 Published Reversal Dates: 1/20, 2/11, 3/7, 3/15, 4/8, 4/16, 4/27, 5/7, 6/8, 7/2, 7/17, 9/14, 10/10, 10/24, 11/12, 11/30, 12/9, 12/21, 12/29. 2008 Potential Reversal Dates: 12/31, 1/11, 2/1, 2/13, 3/6, 4/5, 4/22, 5/23, 6/6, 6/27, 7/13, 9/2, 10/3, 10/22, 11/10, 12/11. 2007 Potential Reversal Dates: 1/10, 1/14, 1/27, 1/31, 2/3, 2/17, 3/10, 3/24, 4/21, 5/6, 6/15, 8/29, 10/19, 11/29, 12/13, 12/23, 12/31, 1/11/08. 2006 potential reversal dates: 1/16, 1/30, 2/25, 3/19, 4/8, 5/8, 5/19, 6/6(20), 7/24, 8/20, 8/29, 9/15, 10/11, 11/28. 2005 Potential reversal dates: 12/27, 1/25, 2/16, 3/4, 3/14, 3/29, 4/5, 4/19, 5/2, 6/3, 6/10, 7/13, 7/28, 8/12, 8/30-31, 9/22, 10/4, 11/15, 11/20, 12/16.
Timing Indicators
Use the following Timing/momentum indicators to assist in your trading of the QQQQ, GLD, USD, USO and TLT. They are tuned to deliver signals in line with the Stock Barometer and we use them only in determining our overall outlook for the market and for pinpointing market reversals. The level, direction, and position to the zero line are keys in these indicators. For example, direction determines mode and a buy signal 'above zero' is more bullish than a buy signal 'below zero'.
QQQ Timing Indicator (NASDAQ:QQQ)
The QQQQ Spread Indicator will yield its own buy and sell signals that may be different from the Stock Barometer. It's meant to give us an idea of the next turn in the market.
Gold Timing Indicator (ARCX:GLD)
Want to trade Gold? Use our signals with the Gold ETF AMEX:GLD. Gold gives us a general gage to the overall health of the US Economy and the markets.
US Dollar Index Timing Indicator (INDEX:DXY)
Want to trade the US Dollar? Use our signals with the Power Shares AMEX:UUP: US Dollar Index Bullish Fund and AMEX:UDN: US Dollar Index Bearish Fund.
Bonds Timing Indicator (AMEX:TLT)
Want to trade Bonds? Use our signals with Lehman?s 20 year ETF AMEX:TLT. The direction of bonds has an impact on the stock market. Normally, as bonds go down, stocks will go up and as bonds go up, stocks will go down.
OIL Timing Indicator (AMEX:USO)
Want to trade OIL? Use our signals with AMEX:USO, the OIL ETF. We look at the price of oil as its level and direction has an impact on the stock market.
Secondary Stock Market Timing Indicator
We maintain hundreds of popular and proprietary technical indicators that break down market internals, sentiment and money flow to give YOU unique insight into whether you should BUY or SELL the market. We feature at least one here each day in support of our current outlook.
As a subscriber to the Daily Stock Barometer System at the $50 level, you also get access to all our charts and research. Email firstname.lastname@example.com to upgrade your subscription.
Daily Stock Market Outlook
We remain in Sell Mode, looking for the markets to move lower into 4/9. The next couple of days are critical to whether this is a short term pullback or a deeper one.
As a quant guy, I maintain this data looking for timing signals and relationships between various asset classes. When relationships change, it generally creates an opportunity to exploit from a trading perspective. By the time you hear it on CNBC, it's usually too late (depending on who's doing the talking). So the numbers are facts - what you hear on CNBC is noise, your job as a trader is to eliminate the noise from your thinking - and trade solely on facts.
The above chart shows the Nasdaq new highs minus new lows - the relationship between these two data points is very telling. It's at a make or break level. But once the new lows take over - the number goes negative, that's very bearish. We're close to a bearish signal here - if the markets break down. And we're also close to a buy point, if the level holds. This indicator is in the middle, most indicators are more telling at extremes.
Here's another one to chew on:
The key here is if this relationship breaks down, we will enter a new market phase... A more bearish one. As the Qs become weaker than the SPY, volatility tends to pick up...
Here's our current positioning.
• Last Recommendation - 4/2 - Short the QQQ
• Status - Short QQQ
• Consideration - Maintain stop per money management above.
If you want to learn more about some of my models and indicators, I use my blog to cover them in more detail. If you're looking for more information, please visit our blog - I'll have updates and publish other articles there. http://investmentresearchgroup.com/Blog/

It's been a while since I posted, so hello all
I am currently working on a short film, using the Canon HV20 to shoot, and Sony Vegas Movie Studio Platinum 9.0 running on Vista to edit.
Now I have a very serious problem that is sort of the wrench that may prevent me from ever completing the movie. I got to a point where I have too much video edited I guess, and every time I render to wmv or avi or m2v or whatever format I choose, Sony Vegas causes the laptop to overheat, at which point 1 of 3 things happens each time I try to render.
1. Vegas simply crashes. It does not save, it does not stall or freeze, it just shuts down completely, and I have to reopen the file and pick up from where I left off.
2. I get an error message saying "An unexpected error has occurred. An exception has occurred". At this point I can either click on "Details" which is no help since the details are just numbers and symbols, or I click on the other button which shuts Vegas down.
3. I get another error message saying "The system is low on memory" and that also leads to Sony Vegas shutting down. It is impossible for me to have low system memory when the only thing running is Vegas and couple other folders and files are open.
Here are my laptop specs:
HP HDX18 Notebook PC
Intel Quadcore CPU 2.00 GHz
4 GB of DDR3 RAM
1 GB NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GT
64 bit Windows Vista O.S.
I purchased a very good cooling pad, with a 7inch fan that keeps the bottom of the laptop cooler than before. I rendered footage with the cooling pad in-place, and the rendering actually went a little further than before, but Vegas still crashed. Next step was to place the laptop and the cooling pad near an open window. Unfortunately not even the freezing Milwaukee weather was able to keep Vegas running. I could feel the laptop become very cold from the air blowing through the window, but Vegas still crashes. The last film I did I had used the same camera, but edited on a less advanced PC, an HP with Dual-Core processor and 3 GB of RAM, running on Vista too, and that laptop was able to render the footage without any problems.
Anyway, back to the Quadcore. Another problem is that playing back HD footage on Sony Vegas is very annoying as it is lagging and not playing all frames. The player just decides to skip frames as it cannot render them in time I guess. I tried lowering the playback resolution alot, down to the lowest Draft option, still skips alot of frames. Although when i keep playing that segment over and over and over and over again, I finally get a smooth enough playback, although you can see how this is a waste of time.
My laptop has no virus issues, has no other problems. I can render 40 or 50 minutes HD clips on Windows Movie Maker, but I cannot even render 1 minute of edited HD footage on Sony Vegas 9.
Does anyone know what i should do in this situation? Any help would be great. Thanks

Bajrangi Bhaijaan. Sometimes we do get the Hero we need.
As the parade of trailers before Bajrangi Bhaijaan amply demonstrated Bollywood is no longer making films for Heroes, honest-to-goodness capital "H" heroes. There are only a handful left in Bombay and not one under 40 with the strength to challenge the 3 Khans. I've written about this many times before but, to my mind, what separates a real Hero from just an actor is us, the audience. A Hero's career is a dialogue with the audience. Sometimes a Hero makes a film for us, sometimes he makes a film for himself, and sometimes he makes a film as a favor for a buddy. The point, whether or not a Hero intends to convey anything at all with his film choices, we, the audience, are going to see a linear progression. We see films sequentially, as they are released, one frame following the next.
Although the past is never past these days, with old mistakes lingering online like Raj & DK's globalized zombies, nobody can deny that Salman Khan has spent much of the last few years trying to put something good into the world. No matter what the "critical consensus" was on the quality of a film like Veer, it was clearly made with a lot of love and joy. The same with a film like Ready or Bodyguard, films intended to delight audiences, to provide a little hit of pleasure. Not everybody likes everything Salman has made over the course of his career but most of us can find at least one film to enjoy in his recent filmography. Because Salman is just that kind of Hero. He may not be the greatest actor who ever lived but he's a superb Hero and his on-screen image is subtle, supple, and flexible enough to handle almost any type of persona, infusing each character, no matter how cheeky they're written, with a sense of real goodness.
In Bajrangi Bhaijaan Salman is reunited with new Bollywood director Kabir Khan (Ek Tha Tiger) in a story from the great South Indian masala screenwriter K. V. Vijayendra Prasad (Baahubali, among others). And the result is pure filmi magic, a melding of the modern neo-Bollywood aesthetic with pure, unironic masala dil. The film follows a few thematic trends of the last few years but with a real Salman Khan spin. There's a bit of that Rajkumar Hirani message to beware religious dogma from PK but in Salman's hands, to Salman's audience, the message is warmer, and much less glib. (For all that I love Aamir, at times, watching PK felt like being lectured by one of those douchey Nu Atheists.) Bajrangi Bhaijaan also picks up a few threads of the type of "realism" one finds in films like, especially, Highway but the bleakness of that "realism" is softened by what seems to be Salman's driving message these days: Human beings are mostly good people. Being human means trusting other humans, no matter what race, creed, gender, or nationality. And although there are definitely elements of gender and religion at play in this film, it's the last one that is the most important to Bajrangi Bhaijaan.
Yes, this film is full of India vs. Pakistan and not just in cricket, although cricket does play a role. Our little leading lady, the adorable Harshaali Malhotra, plays Shahida, a six year old Pakistani girl named after the great Pakistani cricket player Shahid Afridi. The film begins in a gorgeous, mountainy part of Pakistan where Shahida and her family live a peaceful, rural life herding sheep. But Shahida cannot speak and her parents, at a complete loss for what to do about it, decide to bring her on pilgrimage to a holy place… in India. Shahida is accidentally left behind, across the border from her parents and everything she knows.
But Shahida is lucky; this isn't one of those ugly films in which a girl must be wary of sexual violence from every man she passes on the street. Our lost little lamb is able to turn to a man for help, to the best man of all, in fact: the earnest, simple, good Pavan Kumar Chaturvedi aka Bajrangi (Salman Khan). Bajrangi takes her in and promises to get her home--never wavering even when he realizes that "home" is across the border.
Pre-interval takes place in India and post-interval sends the unlikely duo into Pakistan, hunted by the Pakistani police, who are convinced that Bajrangi is an Indian spy. Thankfully the pair run into a local journalist, Chand Nawab (Nawazuddin Siddiqui), who finds their story so touching that he decides to help. Will Shahida ever get home? Are strangers just friends we haven't met? Will the tiny Harshaali Malhotra win over avowed child-hater Filmi Girl? (Spoiler alert: Yes, yes, and yes.)
Watching a film isn't going to solve all the world's problems but I think it's far better thing when our collective fantasies are about loving and trusting our neighbors rather than dishooming them into the next life.
The overriding feeling in Bajrangi Bhaijaan was one of gentleness but, circling back to Salman's Hero image, that gentleness was not weakness. It was powerful because we know Salman and his team could unleash a massive amount of force, sound effects, broad comedy, cameos, and items but have chosen to restrain themselves for this film to make a point, that Salman, that masala, that popular films can be this way, too. Kind and gentle. And we, the audience, can be trusted to understand and appreciate that.
And it was also really nice that the filmmakers trusted that we, the audience, didn't need to be hammered with the fact that violence against women exists for two hours to understand that the world can be dangerous. At a certain point it looks like little Shahida might be sold to a brothel and the horrified gasps of the woman sitting beside me at what might happen to Shahida were proof enough of that. Mixed in throughout the film were subtle reminders that the system, our democratic institutions are unkind. Police, as an institution, can't be trusted. The government throws red tape at you until you give up. Even the old generation has trouble seeing through the biases of their age. Although the specifics are South Asian, many of the messages rang true for me as an American, as well.
I especially enjoyed the cricket thread running through the film. We were never hit over the head with it but the idea that nationality is important only in the sense that it gives you somebody to cheer for at the World Cup. That nationality is no more important as an identity, in the grand scheme of things, than being a fan of the Washington Nationals baseball team. At the end of the day it's just a different set of team colors to paint on your cheek.
Lastly, I want to say a few words about the excellent cast and casting job of Bajrangi Bhaijaan. Salman's character is a naif. Pure-hearted and earnest. So, he needed supporting actors who could play off of this without seeming mean or going too broad. Kareena Kapoor and Nawazuddin Siddiqui were perfect foils for this Salman. Kareena's sharp wit kept the action moving in the first half and Nawaz's sly jokes kept the momentum going post-interval. In fact, Nawaz's introduction scene, in which his attempts to film a bit keep getting stepped on by passers by, got some genuine bellylaughs from all over the theater. And I particularly appreciated Kareena's utter lack of maternal warmth. Not every woman gushes over children. And it was delightful the way Kareena and Salman interacted with their tiny child co-stars (shoutout to the kid playing Kareena's little brother, who was cute as a button) as if they were tiny people instead of some rarified heaven-sent moppets.
Not only the main cast but the minor roles were filled with interesting faces. Meher Vij, as Shahida's mother, all rosy apple cheeks shining under her hijab. Khushaal Pawaar, as Nawaz's cameraman, had the perfect aura of gormless tech guy. The Pakistani border officer on his camel who couldn't believe anybody would be so dumb as to cross over from India. The wrestlers at Kareena's father's gym. The tubby police officer who got his handcuffs stolen. So many wonderful faces whose names I don't know and a few I do: the great character actors--gruff uncles Om Puri and Sharat Saxena and kindly auntie Kamlesh Gill.
Bajrangi Bhaijaan is a pleasant film, kind and gentle like the titular character. I'm glad I saw it and I hope its success will lead to other kind and gentle films. As Nawaz says towards the end of the second half, bad news and hatred are what sells… but maybe we want a chance to buy something nice once in a while, too.

GREAT review! The only thing I'd add is that I was delighted and surprised to learn that Nawazuddin's character is named after a real Pakistani reporter and that the whole intro scene at the station for Eid really happened. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=297eQBAfl0Q :D

Btw, you do know that the story of Bajrangi Bhaijan is written by KV Prasad, the father of SS Rajamouli, and who also penned the story of Baahubali ... don't you? :)

Using Djview4 worked for me too. Thank you.
Using Djview4 worked for me too. Thank you.
However, evince does not render some Djvu files properly. To use your method (printing the file as PDF), you may need to use a Djvu viewer other than evince. But yes, in principle, your method would work just fine, and it has the advantage of not requiring the installation of new software.
It remains to be seen if there's an alternative solution in which the text in a Djvu file is exported as text in a PDF file.
None of the methods here keep the underlying text in an OCR'd djvu when converting to a pdf. Anyone know how to do that?
http://wiki.envirowiki.info/ - the wiki resource for environmentalists and activists.
"This is the first age that's ever paid much attention to the future, which is a little ironic since we may not have one." - Arthur C. Clarke
I agree a simple utility hopefully with a GUI is really needed for this conversion
The only option was to leave out the "-j" JPEG encryption. However, the resulting PDF was more than 10 times as big...
בראשית ברא אלהים את השמים ואת הארץ׃
command line tool for djvu to pdf conversion
That works great does anyone know of a similar tool to convert chm files to pdf hopefully a graphical tool.
I did it in other way.
I just printed it to file twice by default Document Viewer.
For first time to .ps and after to .pdf.
P.S. .ps to .pdf conversion takes a lot of time.

Today, March 21st, workers at Bochum plant, Germany, will vote on Opel's restructuring plan aimed at cutting costs.
Since 1999, GM has lost $18 billion in Europe and agreed to continue production at the Bochum facility until 2016 and keep part of the plant open as a logistics and parts center, saving 1,200 jobs from the plant's total 3,000 jobs. If Bochum workers do not approve the turnaround plan, GM will stop production here after 2014.
This restructuring plan is part of GM's strategy to break-even in Europe by 2016, trimming costs and introducing 23 new Opel products, including the Cascada mid-size convertible, the Adam minicar and the Mokka compact crossover. Three GM German plants have already agreed with the restructuring plan, which guarantees jobs for more than 20,000 workers in Germany in exchange for a salary freeze through 2015.
GM also said that Bochum gearbox assembly will be reduced to two shifts, cutting 700 jobs, after it previously announced that the gearbox production would be ceased completely by the end of this year.
"I frankly don't know how it's going to go," said Steve Girsky, GM vice chairman and chairman of Opel's supervisory board. "If it fails, it may cost us more in the near-term but it may help us in the intermediate term because car production will end early."

Wegener's Granulomatosis
- Wegener's granulomatosis (WG) is a disease where your small and medium-sized blood vessels are inflamed (swollen). The cells lining these vessels may die, and granulomas (small lumps) may form inside the vessels. Granulomas may block the blood flow to other body organs and damage your organs and tissues. The exact cause of WG is unknown but a bacterial (germ) infection may be what starts the disease process. The inflammation and granulomas may lead to kidney failure, and could be life-threatening. WG may also cause lung problems making it hard for you to breathe. You may also have problems with your joints, skin, eyes, and heart.
- You may need to have a biopsy, blood and urine tests, and imaging tests to check your condition. Medicines may be needed to treat your WG. You may also need to have your blood treated with plasma exchange. Surgery to fix other problems caused by WG may also be needed. If your kidneys fail, they may need to be removed. You may need a kidney transplant to replace your damaged kidneys with a donor (another person) one. Having your condition treated may decrease your symptoms such as trouble breathing. Treatment may also slow the disease and prevent further damage to your kidneys and other body organs.
Take your medicine as directed.
Call your healthcare provider if you think your medicine is not helping or if you have side effects. Tell him if you are allergic to any medicine. Keep a list of the medicines, vitamins, and herbs you take. Include the amounts, and when and why you take them. Bring the list or the pill bottles to follow-up visits. Carry your medicine list with you in case of an emergency.
- Antibiotics: This medicine is given to fight or prevent infection caused by bacteria. This may also help prevent WG from coming back. Stopping antibiotics without your caregiver's OK may make the medicine unable to kill all of the germs. Never save antibiotics or take leftover antibiotics that were given to you for another illness.
- Antiemetic medicine: Antiemetic medicine may be given to calm your stomach and help control vomiting (throwing up).
- Immune globulins: This medicine is given as a shot or an IV infusion to make your immune system stronger. You may need immune globulins to treat or prevent an infection. It is also used when you have a chronic condition, such as lupus or arthritis. You may need many weeks of treatment. Each infusion can take from 2 to 5 hours.
- Immunosuppressive therapy: This medicine may be given to slow down your immune system. Your immune system may be seeing your normal cells as abnormal. This medicine may help prevent your immune system from harming your body.
- Steroids: Steroid medicine may be given to decrease inflammation, which is redness, pain, and swelling. Steroids may be given together with your immunosuppressive medicine. There are many different reasons to take steroids. This medicine can help a lot but may also have side effects. Be sure you understand why you need steroids. Do not stop taking these medicines without your caregiver's OK. Stopping on your own can cause a bad response.
Follow-up visit:
- Ask your caregiver when to return for a follow-up visit. Tell your caregiver about any new signs and symptoms you have. Tell your caregiver if you are having side effects from your medicines. The kind and amount of medicine you are taking may need to be changed. The goal is for the medicines to work well, while not causing you to have bad side effects. You and your caregiver will talk about how long you may need to take each of your medicines.
- You may need repeat chest x-rays and CT scans to check your lungs. Blood and urine tests may also be done to check how much medicine is in your blood, or how well it is working. You may need to have these tests more than once. Keep all appointments. Write down any questions you may have. This way you will remember to ask these questions during your next visit.
You may need to eat foods high in folic acid or take a folic acid supplement. Immunosuppressive medicines often decrease the amount of folic acid in your body. Ask your caregiver for information on foods high in folic acid and about taking supplements.
Drinking liquids:
Men 19 years old and older should drink about 3 liters of liquid each day (close to 13 eight-ounce cups). Women 19 years old and older should drink about 2.2 liters of liquid each day (close to 9 eight-ounce cups). Good choices for most people to drink include water, juice, and milk. If you are taking immunosuppressive medicine, you need to make sure you drink enough fluid. Ask your caregiver how much liquid you should drink each day.
Use lotion and petroleum jelly on your nose if it is dry and crusted. Nasal irrigation may also decrease dryness and crusting in your nose. These will help soothe and soften your dry nasal passages. Ask your caregiver for more information about these options.
It is never too late to quit smoking. Smoking harms your heart, lungs, and blood. You are more likely to have a heart attack, lung disease, and cancer if you smoke. You will help yourself and those around you by not smoking. Your risk of having bad effects from immunosuppressant medicine may increase if you smoke. Ask your caregiver for more information about how to stop smoking if you are having trouble quitting.
- You have a fever (high body temperature).
- You have blurry eyesight.
- You are urinating less than usual.
- You have red and swollen eyes.
- You have questions or concerns about your condition or treatment.
- You had surgery and pus is draining from your wound.
- You have blood in your urine.
- You have new hearing loss.
- You have new loss of vision.
- You have shortness of breath or trouble breathing all of a sudden.

Re: The Practical Benefits of the Relational Model

Yes that is the classical example but it does not show that transactions are *required*. I'm saying that problem is more flexibly solved by database design rather than by transactions. I guess I could concede that it makes database design more difficult, but I see that as a price that we need to pay to free us from some users abusing transactions. Moreover, I don't believe that a database is a complete description of a business problem unless the locking semantics are explicit, and following the information principle, explicit in the database (design) itself.
one of many possible db designs would be
STOCK (S StockSymbol, Price Money)
BUDGET(M Money)
BUDGET_LOCK(L Boolean, U User)
check(NOT (M <> M' AND L AND U <> USER()) )
check(NOT (L' AND NOT L AND U <> U') )
check(NOT (L' AND M <> M' AND L) )
check(NOT (L <> L' AND U <> USER()) )
STOCK (S StockSymbol, Price Money)
Using a single quote to indicate 'previous values' (and so breaking my own rule about modelling transition constraints as constraints on temporal (i.e. history holding) tables):
The first check ensures that if the budget lock is set, the budget can only be
altered by the user who set the lock.
The second check ensures that only the user who set the lock can unset it. The third checks that if the budget is changed, the lock must become unset. The final checks that when the lock is changed, U must record how changed the lock.
If the budget lock is unset, the budget can be altered by anyone.
Making locking an explicit part of the database design allows us to tweak the semantics as we wish. E.g. in the above there is no concept of sessions, so if a user has two connections open to the database and has a lock on the budget, they can update the budget from either connection. This cannot be done in the implemented internal locking schemes that I know of.

Then Dm asks her is she got some extra cloths b'coz they have to stay there tonight. Santu says yes malik I get that & already sanded that bag in the car. Then Dm says very nice.

Then they see here double door white colored boat. Boat's engine was in down floor. Top floor of boat was open there was only one room.
Then they both go in to the boot. After SANRAJ's came in captain make starts boat. SanRaj goes on the top floor of the boat. Santu doesn't see any one besides them in the boat. Then she asks Dm where every one u is said there is party but here is no one? Then Dm says her in getting her in his arms puts his both palm on her soft waist.

University police have new chief
UH has hired a new chief of police, who started Feb. 20.
"I am looking forward to working for this wonderful University with a very supportive staff," said Chief Ceaser Moore, a UH-Downtown graduate.
"I hope to make the Cougar community a safer place to work, live, study and visit."
Moore is a native Houstonian and started as a Houston police officer patrolling the streets surrounding UH in 1984.
He was later married at Wheeler Avenue Baptist Church across the street from the University.
"My dad is a UH grad, my oldest daughter is a UH grad and I am a UH-D grad," Moore said. "As you can see, I am tied to this area."
The new chief of police brought 27 years of Houston Police Department experience to the University police.
"I have a vast array of police experience — over 27 years," he said.
"I have several years of security experience as well. I bring passion, caring and respect to the position. I am excited and humbled by the opportunity. I will give the UH community my best."
Moore said he couldn't have been happier to start the new position.
"I thought the job at UH was perfect for me, that is why I applied," he said.
"This is the only policing job that I have ever applied for other than my Houston PD job. I have always had an affinity for academia and policing. As the police chief at UH, I am close to two things that I love."

U of H Chief??? You've got to be kidding me…U of H did not do their homework, for if they did they would have quickly found out that Moore had no respect amongst his peers or subordinates…Go ask the Houston Police officers that worked at North Division as to what kind of leader Ceaser Moore was..He had a horrible reputation and caused the entire division to almost mutiny against him and because of this he was removed from his command by Chief Hurtt and relegated to the property room because of numerous complaints against him..Then his family, including his mother show up at a HPD citywide crime meeting all wearing shirts that said "Justice for Junior" and attempted to confront Chief Hurtt. Truly unprecedented and outrageous behavior..He was an embarrassment to the department and destroyed morale wherever he went..Batten down the hatches U of H officers….
The officers at North Division did want to be told what to do. Ceaser Moore does not have a horrible reputation and you should be ashamed of yourself getting on this website trashing another HPD officers. Whatever happen to Blue pride.
These are some harsh comments, even for online commenting. I look forward to the excitement this will bring.
Believe me , he is an idiot.
Cool Hand Luke
U of H trustess….WTF..Moore's resume is stocked with lies and inaccuracies…a 30 yr veteran? A Lie…He says he "earned" his PhD (all but dissertation)"..Really??? Last time I checked your a candidate until you complete all requirements including your dissertation..This is Academic Fraud to the highest level and your allowing this clown to post such falsities????? A visiting instructor at the FBI National Academy..please…someone should have done their homework and I'll bet within 2 years U of H is entangled in a racial discrimination lawsuit..only a matter of time..I'm calling Wayne D on this BS…
andrew jackson
wow- it's refreshing to see some people on this website who seem to know some important information!
you should write for the paper!
Quannel X
All they would need to do is ask the several hundred officers who have worked for him or watched his career. Like the officer that wrote Moore's mother a traffic ticket, and how Moore had the ticket pulled, then filed an IAD complaint on the officer for being outside his area, which proved to be false. He was an embarrassment to HPD, now he will be an embarrassment to U of H.
Mr. Tibbs
this guy was one of the worst captains HPD had next to Mark Aguirre and now he's chief of police for U of H???? You've got to be kidding me…Always playing the race card and bullying those that didn't subscribe to his racial stereotyping….Go ask the family of slain Houston Police Officer Tim Abernathy how they felt about Captain Moore and his racial hateful ways…..He was banned from attending Officer Abernathy's funeral by the family, which was truly unprecedented. He was a disgraceful person who used his race to further his own agenda…I feel sorry for the U of H officers…Shame on u U of H trustees or whoever hired him…You'll be sorry down the road when the true Moore starts to show…
How do you find out who hired that guy ???
Wow,,,what truths and facts!!!!! Little Ceasar as everyone knows him by his napolean stature and had his desk sgt bitch retire who followed him from B&T to the great North Station and this is true, the Abernathy family did not want little ceasr to attend as they tried to run tim off from his admin job working for little itty bitty ceasar who wanted that job for his fellow black hating officer,,,so they really put the scews to tim to try and run him off…guess what ceaser, u r cursed from this day forward….u loser….:))) non military person…
Matt Dillon
What is truly incredible is that a University with the size and reputation as U of H would hire his bigot….Did they not do a background check and references on his past employment with HPD??? If so, they would have found out that Moore was despised among his officers as a racial hate monger and everyone within HPD knew of his ways and ALLOWED it to continue, until Chief Hurtt cast him down into the abyss..U of H regents had better check Moore's extra job permits for they may find out that he's moonlighting with the New Black Panther Party…
A-10 North
Wow!!!!, Little Ceasar Moore, the Malcom X, the Rodney King, The Jessie Jackson and the Quanell 10 look a likes, well, admissions, get set for a reduction of your white students because this is one white race hater and hispanic hater,,,,u non basketball player,,,,ohhh yes, when your white students and hispanics are harassed over a person of other color, ohhh yes, he has bragged about getting even with the evil hispanic white people..good for you, trustees, u have just delivered your death blow!!!! What were you thinking????? He is a friggin paraiah…a non-deserving officer who only worked in administrative jobs…..never worked the streets and then told the street officers how to do their jobs????? WTF????.
Well as a Captain he was suppose to tell you what to do. Just do your job and stop trashing Ceaser Moore. You make officer look like the idiots people think they are.
shaka zulu
You don't have to be white/hispanic to not like moore..he screwed over many black folks too with his ways. I'm suprised he lasted as long as he did within HPD…
Someone really needs to call this punk on the carpet for lying on his bio/resume…Check the facts U of H..He earned a PhD (All but dissertation)????? This is BS and fraud…A 30 yr veteran, now 27 yr veteran???..which is it?….This would get most folks fired for lying on their official resume..What a bad choice for your police department's image and the University…
While you are on here talking about his education how much education do you have? GED probably. Shame on you bashing another officer.
Disgruntled B&T
This midget can't ante up to the lowest hand in texas-hold-um…he is a fraud, never served his country because he is a scared beeotch who has never worked as a real police officer, only hiding behind momma's apron which is history as she did actually have shirts made saying"save junior!!!!! and this is your Chief????? OMG!!!! Well, b careful for what u wish because u b getting a rascist hating angry black man who tries and wants to be like Quanell 10 but lacks the looks and intelligence without Isiah Carey carrying him…what will Isiah report about now???
Some people chose to serve their country and some chose to go to college. Why are you haten on the college grads. Go get a degree then when can talk. You all keep calling him a rascist but if you read the blog nobodys talking race but you guys. Shame on you.
I bet $10000000 round/solid quarters that this fool gets EEOC knocking on his door before the end of the year.
Can't we all just get along????
"Diary of a Short Black Angry Police Chief Hating on Everybody" due to hit theaters soon! But U of H will see the movie first. He is a -$&&)(;42-4 to all races especially to them " Cracker Honkey Snow Bunny Caucasian White Police Officers also know as the PoPo
The greatest thing this person ever did was to retire from HPD…
If thats true then leave him alone.
I was at North when Moore did what he did to Tim and it was despicable and unforgiveable..SHame on u U of H for hiring this disgrace…
What happened?
Al Capone
Ceaser Moore left HPD the same way he spent his career there…Caring for no one other than himself and when the time came in the end to help another officer out, he did what he does best. Fuck'em…Shame on U of H for hiring this arrogant race baiter…
I'm wondering what the other Professors and PhD's at U of H are thinking about their new Police Chief whose telling everyone and the world that he has 'earned" a PhD, but never finished his other required work… wow!! talk about starting off with a bang..Way to go Chief Moore with setting the example of truthfulness and integrity, but then again, you never had it to begin with….
How many of the above posters are the same person?
Quannel x
There is no shortage of people that know about Moore and the stuff he has pulled.
I Know this person an I can't believe that the comments that are being said about this person are true. I believe that all these comments are coming from the same person, This person is a very angry soul with a heavy heart. I don't believe somebody could hate this hard. I will pray for you who ever you are to let go of that kind of hated. An I hope you are not a Houston Police Officer, if you are you need ( HELP ).
Obviously Barbara he has snowed you too. You work with this guy and you will see a true idiot who had an extreme distorted view or reality. I really thought the guy needed a mental evaluation. He never had any business being a police officer. He never was and HPD officer, he had a badge and a name tag but he was n e v e r a Houston Police Officer. Not only did he not know the Policy and Procedures of HPD, he didn't even know the Penal Code. Yes , Really, How do you become a captain if this were true, that is a good question. that has always been a big question, no one could ever figure out how he made sergeant, ghat is why there is always a questions of how secure the test questions are before the test. this is a very sad day for the University of Houston.
those comments are not posted by one person… I should know… I worked under C. Moore as well and the things they have to say are true… he was booted out of the north station… enjoy UH… hahahahahahaha…
Truth maker
@barbara , do the research, demand to know what university he receive his graduate work at, and go from there… Unless you were at HPD working for him, then you don't know his true colors.. It shouldnt take long to see them.. He is a racist…
Despite what people have to say whether right or wrong pertaining to Chief Ceasar Moore, …to be called out of your name never solves anything, it just stirs up strife….I will leave with this quote" Either write something worth reading or do something worth writing"!!
andrew jackson
called out of your name?
seems like these disgruntled cops are better journalists/investigators than our school/student newspaper if it's true that he lied on his resume.
i'd like to see the minutes from the trustee meetings where they went over hiring him. too bad they don't record the entire meetings and post them on the internet. would take all of 10 seconds, but transparency isn't the UH/Elitist way.
Truth maker
My last sentence sould have read as a question : is he a racist…
Look up the characteristics of a sociopath. That's what those of you at U of H have to look foward to. Little Caesar is a text-book sociopath. He is a hater, a liar, a coward and is despised at HPD by those of ALL races.
1983 Cougar
He is genuinely a poor choice as chief. His bad decision making will manifest very quickly. Current UHPD employees had better hang on as the ride until his departure will be rough. His hiring was a very bad decision.
sexual chocolate
barbara must be Moore's mother and Mary his sister…His only two friends in this world…Like truthmaker said..go do your homework within HPD and you'll find out that Moore was the Captain Bligh of this generation..UHPD will soon find out..Walk the plank beeoatches!
So tired
Good luck Uof H officers, use a recorder, and document everything.
the oracale
yea i feel sorry for the UH officers start applying somewhere else while you can
Mark my words, Watch the staff in the UH chiefs office, Within six months to a year, every white officer in that office will be gone. I feel so sorry for those officers at UH, what a shame.
Wow in about a year whoever did this hire is going to be saying I hope they don't fire me for this hire
Whoever did this needs to be fired !!!
HIs last act as a HPD Captain was to delay his retirement by 1 week.
All HPD promotions through the level of Captain are test and assessment center based and then done off a list. Then Captain Moore didn't like the person siting number one on the captains list so he delayed his retirement 1 week. In that week the Captains list expired and he intentionally screwed a person out of a hard worked for promotion because he didn't like them.
Scary to think about how he will handle promotions at UHPD where there are no civil service tests.
HPD Retired
Just another example of the class act moore is.
Why should he do you racist people a favor. Stop being so mean and maybe someone would be nice to you. You cant make someone retire just to help out your buddy. What exactly is delaying your retirement, after you get 20 years you can retire whenever you want. And stop saying he delayed his retirement you have no proof of that.
I wish the best for Chief Moore and the University of Houston.
Ceasar Moore was one of the most despised captains in the history of HPD. This is a true statement and can easily be verified by interviewing a random sample of the rank and file in any division he has ever commanded. The main reason for this is because of the despicable way he treats his subordinates. I believe this comes from a combination of paranoia and arrogance. I hope, for the sake of UH officers, that Moore has evolved into a better human being with the capacity for sincere compassion and respect for his new troops. If not, UH and its officers are in for a very rough ride.
HPD retired/UH alumni
Ok Dexter you said you are retired HPD right. Get a life you are retired and should have better things to do then sit around and bash one of your fellow officers in blue. You and I both know that you and the rest of the gang are upset because you just didnt want to do what you were told. Sometime we don't like the person in charge telling us what to do. Get over it! Uof H will be fine. Oh and by the way which UofH did you graduate from Downtown and it probably took you ten years. Have a nice life and stop bashing. You should be ashamed of your self.
Mr. Foxx, your meager attempt to denigrate my educational experience is exactly the kind of arrogance of which I speak. You either are Moore or are of the same self-important mindset. Until you and/or Moore have an apperception for the value and qualities of others, you're bound to keep repeating your mistakes of the past because of your inability to appreciate anything outside of yourself. Thank you Mr. Foxx for your response which serves to confirm my comments.
I totally agree that these negative comments about Chief Moore are either from the same person or the same clique who were never upwardly mobile in HPD and think they love this country more than others for no apparent reason other than they serve in the military or what not….if you love your country that much, you will make a full career of the military and never settle for HPD. He was HPD officer for 27 years, thereby serving his community. Stop hating and get on with your life.
I do not see anyone saying anything about hate, the comments I see are only folks stating facts. If you want to talk about hate, just watch moore, he is a very hateful persons, don't listen to him – watch him. Regarding his upward mobility at HPD, it was not because he was a good police officer, moore was never a police officer, someway -somehow he obtained the the test answers, this man is a very stupid individual. HPD suffered greatly because of him, he was as verg big embarrasment to HPD and the City of Houston and now UH is going to have to put up with his immaturity……………
Quannel xxxxxxx
Observer, what you are seeing is the result of years of screwing over people. You may not believe it, and who cares what you believe. He was despised at HPD. When an officer wrote his mother a ticket, he not only violated policy by having the ticket quashed, but retaliated against the officer by filing a formal IAD complaint against him. He got booted out of his patrol assignment and sent to the property room. Believe it or not. It may be hard for you to believe, but there are a great many people that were very glad to see him go, know him to be a raging racist, and feel pity for U of H. There are countless stories of his ineptitude. Time will tell whether U of H made a good choice. But I know that HPD is the better for Moore leaving.
CORRECTION: the word I meant to spell was "hear" (bad proof reading)
I didn't know much about Chief Moore, therefore I'm not qualified to make a comment about him. I am an officer at H.P.D., and I was an officer a U. of H. I'm continually impressed by the young men and women, who work at U.H.P.D. Some of them recently assisted me in getting three burglars in custody, and soon after, I assisted them in getting a suspect in custody. The university community can take pride in these officers, for they truly enhance the quality of the university's public image.
I wish your department well, in this time of transition. Whenever the university decides to seek out another Chief, let me recommend one of their former officers. She is a police administrator at Katy Police Department. She is one of the finest police officers that I've had the pleasure to work with, and I'll bet this opinion will be echoed, by anyone who has worked with her. Her name is Gay Dickerson. Have not seen her in some time, but I often here her spoken about in very high terms, in the police community. She has extensive investigative, administrative, and patrol experience. She's a born leader, who has always earned the respect of those, who work with her.
I'll end, by wishing for an outstanding year for the university, faculty, staff, fellow alumni, and police department !!!

i'm trying to be mature here, but gay dickerson sounds like one of the fake names i gave when making prank phone calls in my youth.
This is so sad. UH is the flagship University of Houston. Just think of the parents sending their kids to UH, thinking they are secure. Every officer at HPD knows the history of this guy. Even the cadets coming out of the academy have heard stories of this guy. This is a guy who almost didn't make it off the training program. When he was a Sgt. at N.East, his squad had the lowest production for the entire division, the academy staff had a party when he left there. Remember when he was in IAD he had an officer arrested for PI while in his own house? When he was In B&T he ran out most of the competent supervisors and investigators.
When he was the Captain in B&T he had his warant round up where all his investigators had to show up in uniform an run warrants. This was a staged "TV" media event. The officers sat around 2 hours and when no media showed up they took off with a bunch of old warrants, don't think a single person was found but it wasted an entire day , a thousand man hours wasted just for him to make a media event. FOR WHAT….. Idiot ! Then he had his B&T Lt's work on problem solving, yes he had them stop working on cases to go in the neighborhood , find some "problem" and come up with a solution to make the world a better place, now these were B&T Lt's. What an idiot, I guess he never heard of the Commuinity Sevices Division.
Did anyone ever figure out where he got those Texan's tickets from ?? I wonder if there is a story for Wayne D, there ? You know the University depends on donations for growth, wonder what the thought process of some of those donors is going to be the first time they meet moore. Can you just see it…….. They gave money to a bunch of idiots who hired this guy, We are suppose to be a symbol of higher learning and we hired "THIS". I want my money back! "Justice For Junior" did these folks never hear of this before they hired him, I would have loved to have been in the interview room with him. I am sure that before it was over that the reason he was sent to the Property Room was not because he was idiot but to be the leader in the cutting edge of technology is running "The Property Room". They sent him there to keep him away from the public, to keep him away from other officers and now UH has made him the Police Chief, I am feeling sick
I am very happy for Chief Moore. Haters will hate
All comments are very sad, but VERY TRUE. If you think you know him and his potential as a leader, you never worked for or with him. Someone else mentioned he is both paranoid and arrogant – that was an honest assessment obviously based upon personal experience / interaction with Moore. He is one who NEVER earned the respect of his peers or subordinates. He always thought people were out to get him because of the color of his skin. He NEVER saw that he EVER did anything wrong all the while treating his troops with the utmost DISRESPECT. His officers will soon learn that everything they have been doing has been done wrong. The success they have enjoyed was not deserved and that things must change immediately. He NEVER appreciated officers' hard work and dedication, but saw them all as incompetent and inferior.
His ways were not just from one assignment from within HPD, but from every assignment he ever had at any rank. A VERY divisive man. He may look like a great catch "on paper", but his attitude toward life and his subordinantes will soon shine forth and then all will realize he was an un-vetted man and a VERY WRONG choice for U of H chief of police. He never learned from any mistake – never even recognized he is capable of erring…. And the part about retiring a week later to prevent a lieutenant from filling his vacancy – TRUE…
Wow, a bunch of you need hobbies and therapy. You hated him at HPD and now that he's gone you're still not satisfied. I'll bet most of you negative posters ran from the streets or were the very broke 'you know what's' that only did the bare minimum. And if you've retired and are still spewing hatred you're even more pathetic. I'm just glad he's not as miserable as most of you. He was not the worst seen and I'm sure he's not the worst to be seen. There are plenty that are still active and who are just as worthless and useless as your hate filled posts and comments and as you were in your careers. Congratulations C Moore!
" I'll bet most of you negative posters ran from the streets or were the very broke 'you know what's' that only did the bare minimum." Now that sounds like it was written by a very intelligent individual, and yes that person somehow believes moore is a credible individual, but then again I must have been ( the very broke) ???
I'd like to know how many would say the very same about you – glass houses.

Well Ceasar, I mean Naysayer, if it makes you feel better to think that only a small group disliked you, then believe what you want to believe. I never worked for or with you, but have heard countless stories of your racism, paranoia, and stupidity. I congratulate you for duping U of H into hiring you. Regardless, HPD is better for you having left. Now maybe a deserving and competent person can take your spot.
"I never worked for or with you, but have heard countless stories of your racism, paranoia, and stupidity.". And there you have it folks. Like I said, get a life.
Wow… lots of folks sharing their opinions! God bless the first amendment. Everyone is entitled to their opinion – that includes me. With that said, I have worked for Captain/Chief Moore in two different assignments. I was not harassed, belittled, nor impeded in my job function at any time. I left a position I was very happy with to come work for him – no regrets. I don't know any of my employees who have ever come to me with a complaint about the man or the manager.
I am saddened that there would be so many negative comments in this profession regarded as a "brotherhood"… I did not post to start a controversy or flame war – just wanted to show that their are two sides to everything – and my experiences have not been the same as most listed here.
I am posting as myself and of my own volition. If anyone has any truly inflammatory reply for me, please… call or text me… my kids check in on my facebook account.
Best to all,
Jay Chase, Do remember that even Hitler and Mussolin had their supporters and folks that saw no wrong in what they did…It saddens me greatly that your one of them and you even have the nerve to place your name on your support for this tyrant…..Have you forgotten what he did at North Division and to Tim Abernathy and the events that preceeded death and funeral. .He dishonored the memory of this fallen officer and used race as a reason for why the officers family DIDN'T WANT HIM THERE!!!! I strongly suggest JAY CHASE that your go ask around…You obviously were heavily medicated when you worked for Moore…
Jay, I admire that you have the courage to put your opinion out there with attribution, I suspect you know that this opinion will be unpopular among your fellow officers. I struggle to understand how you could not see and experience the devastation this man caused to the morale of the dedicated hard-working officers of the North Division during his short tenure as its commander. You were there and had a front row seat as he turned a great working division into a demoralized, dysfunctional patrol division with his caustic and narcissistic leadership style in no time. I can understand that you may not know that this was his track record at the other divisions he commanded, but you were there when it happened at North.
How you honestly say that you've never heard or known of any of these complaints against moore??? You must have been completely out of touch with your troops and reality for you to not have heard or witnessed the despicable actions of this racist,..And you were there at North when all of his bullshit occurred..And your a Lt??? God help HPD
PD Vet
Jay, Jay, Jay. I've known you for about 15 years and your comments just totally boggle my mind! Ceaser's arrogance was only supposed by his unmitigated gall. It took me all of about 3 minutes of knowing him to realize that he is a racist through and through.
Just look at the last screwing he handed both the department as a whole and to KG as an individual. Knowing the current captain's list was fixing to die, he delayed his retirement by a week. He screwed the department by forcing the chief to be without a captain (at Northeast, no less) for at least 9 to 12 months or moving the lieutenant's test back about 6-8 months leaving many shifts without leadership. He screwed KG by denying him the open captain sport. Truly a d-bag move. But buddy, had KG been a brutha, you know he would have changed his retirement date.

Why would you say such a stupid comment, Jay? It's this "brotherhood" that you refer to that allows officers to run amok by officers NOT speaking up about wrongdoing.
I have to tell you, Jay. I'll never look at you the same again.
I admire you for speaking your opinion and not being a follower. Its sad that a brotherhood like the blue would do this to another in blue. Shame on you guys.
All of you officers on this site making these racist comments should be ashamed of yourself. You think the people at UofH reading these comments are agreeing with you, they are not. What they are saying is police officers are the idots that we thought they were. You all should be ashamed to bash another officer like this when they are moving on with their life. I hope you officers on this blog writing these negitative comments never leave here and go to another job. What goes around comes around. This guy is retired and moving on with his life. Maybe you all should not be so consumed with what Ceaser Moore is doing and go do something positive. You make HPD look bad with all this negativity. We all wear the blue or have worn the blue and if you have a problem with a fellow officers it should never leave this place. Show some repect, if you were taught any.
Bauer Alum
"We all wear the blue or have worn the blue and if you have a problem with a fellow officers it should never leave this place. "
While you may not have meant it this way, the public reads your comment as "never rat on a fellow boy in blue, no matter what he did."
This attitude is exactly why many in the public have a negative opinion and strong distrust of the police.
No that is not what I meant. If an officer does something against the law he should be punished and I'm not saying that we should stand behind someone that does something illegal. But all of these comments are about personality conflicts and officers should never air their dirty laundry in the public. All of these comments are racist and naming calling and one officer should never do that to another officer.
Fred Sanford
Hey Redd Foxx, You truly need to out of the bed with Moore and realize that folks, especially police officers don't forget how they were treated by others, especially when those others like Moore hurt so many people in his disgraced career and used race as a indicator or performance and assignments. Your feeble attempts of defending him only cast you in the same category with him…And arrogant race baiting narcissus…
I think you meant "get out of the bed" but anyways. I'm not in the bed with CHIEF Moore I would make these comments about any fellow officer. I have worked for a bunch of mean idots but I would never go to the website of that persons new job and bash them. I don't know you but if you are an officer and other officer did this to you I would say the same thing for you. You don't go on a public website for a persons new job and bash them. You wouldn't like if officer did that to you. It's just wrong Mr. Sanford.
kunta kinta
It sounds like Redd Foxx and Ceaser Moore are one of the same breed…Not all police officers are idiots Mr. Foxx, and their memories are very good. What they take to heart is the fact that another agency will have to endure what they went through and thats why they are vocal about it..Seems like when black leaders or racist and/or incompetent, your position is that we should all just give them a free pass and let bygones be bygones…Sorry my brutha..it doesnt work dat way….So in the mean time what you should do is some fact checking on all these comments..Until then, Peace out!!!!
Same breed, brutha! Ok now that sounds racist. I'm not a brutha by the way. But I'm not going to play the race card with you. You are right not all police officers are idiots only the ones that are blogging racist comments about a fellow officer who has retired and moved on. I'm pretty sure University of Houston did their homework during the hiring process. It seems like they picked who they wanted so you all have a nice life and grow up.
Justice for Jr..
Mr//Mrs. Foxx, Its very obvious that your the only supporter int this universe of disgraced CEASER MOORE and what I find extremely troubling is that you are completely ignoring the "Facts" about this individual's well knowm horrible reputation and work history along with his false educational resume (PhD???) Does it matter to you that he is lying on his official bio that U of H is putting out on his behalf and that he was one of the most "HATED" Captains in the history of HPD????
Go ask any HPD officer that worked for him during his tenure.. GO ASK SLAIN HPD OFFICER TIM ABERNATHYS FAMILY OF WHAT THEY THINK OF CEASER MOORE. GO ASK THE NORTH DIVISION OFFICERS WHAT THEY THOUGHT OF CEASER MOORE. GO ASK THE JUSTICE FOR JUNIOR COMMITTEE WHAT THEY THOUGHT OF CEASER MOORE, no dont do that…. I agree with Mr. Sanford that your wanting to give him a free pass …We all know that he shucked and jived, bamboolzed, cajoiled, and hood winked his way into his new gig as Chief of U of H…Very sad situation for those officers, for we all know what is getting ready to occur…
Renee Harford
I worked 3rd Ward with Ceaser when we were the old 16 District gang at Central Patrol. (Jack, Lisa, DeeDee, Danny, Ski etc)Those were some great times. Later in our careers, we crossed paths in Accident. Ceaser was not the same guy I knew from the streets, but he was always kind to me and we usually cracked jokes. I heard about some of the Ceaser rumors but I did not witness any of the bru-ha-ha. I'm with Jay on this one.
I worked with the UofH PD way back in the 80's and I have always had a fondness for those guys. I'm not pro/con on Ceaser but I do wish the best for UofH PD and I hope the new Chief does an outstanding job for Cougar High ! ooga ooga I'm a Cougar 🙂 (I thought he was a Rice Owls fan;)
William Meck
To the Universtiy police, Great job guys. That had to take some clever investigating.You most likely prevented a much more serious crime from occurring. Keep up the great work. Thank you.
