Apple Outrages Users By Automatically Installing U2's Album On Their Devices 607
from the do-not-want dept.
No matter how little bandwidth customers use, some of them will always be in the top 5%!
But the reason that say android is successful is probably not because of any specific patented technology it uses, rather it has a good enough user interface and google made it freely available for a while. The specific innovation behind android that led to its success is its open nature. None of microsoft's patents contribute to this.
TBH if microsoft have continuously failed to gain traction in the mobile phone market, I don't really see why its reasonable for them to tax the companies who've made a product people want to use.
SB16 was great but in the end, Creative exaggerated the benefits of their cards - to the extent of deception sometimes. And the drivers for some of the later models were somewhat dodgy so in the end its better that they're irrelevant now - they drove themselves into the ground.
This just sounds like an expert system which they've had since the 70s or 80s, combined with a bit of planning/scheduling which is something they've had since then as well!
You can't just mess with people's stuff like this, or potentially destroy a business. Fucking unbelievable that microsoft got a judge to permit this.
That's very interesting that they visited Cuba because the penalty for a US citizen travelling to Cuba is an administrative penalty of $50,000 with no judicial oversight. That means you get fined and there is no possibility of appeal. Internet access costs about £5 / hour in Cuba and something about £50-70 / month so its only really available in internet cafes.
Money is the root of all evil, and man needs roots.

"And to his left is your typical drunken, oafish police chief with his hat on crooked, most likely named Barney O�Blarney or Patrick O�Hallorahanfitzmichael or something like that."In every police precinct, you'll have several stereotypical types of cops. The most common of these will always be the O'Hara, the cop with the whimsical Irish accent who usually stands in the sidelines, offering recycled stereotypical quips about St. Patrick and the shores of Oireland. Truth in Television, as in New York, Boston and Chicago Irishmen were disproportionately represented in the police. This is the reason they called it the "Paddy Wagon",note . Around 1900, five-sixths of the NYPD was Irish. A large wave of Irish immigrants in the 19th century coincided with the time when major cities started establishing "professional" police forces, and police work was one of the few jobs open to Irish immigrants at the time. In Real Life, police forces offer many opportunities for recent immigrants, and they sign up, partly to protect their own people. Because early police work closely resembled thuggery, it was not a prestigious position, and because poorly paid police were vulnerable to corruption, the police were widely despised. It did not take long for the urban police and The Irish Mob to become partners. Mostly a Discredited Trope these days. Of course, Irish-American cops still show up frequently (noticeably in The Departed in which nearly all the cop characters are Boston Irish—and all of the criminals are part of The Irish Mob), but the just-off-the-boat accent and whimsy are long gone — except somewhat in Historical Fiction. In modern works, Irish-American officers might be following in the footsteps of several generations of police families and/or trying to live up to a parent who died in the line of duty. Compare Irish Priest, the other stereotypically Irish profession in American fiction.

In Spring 2014, Joel Tauber's video art students worked with David Finn's sculpture students to produce ambitious and exciting sculpture-video installations. They were presented in a large off campus space at 505 Baity Street in Winston-Salem, NC and celebrated in the event "Officially Underground" at the end of the semester.
The Student Art Exhibition is meant to showcase a strong group of students and work submitted said Paul Bright, director of the Charlotte and Philip Hanes Art Gallery and one of the judges. During the exhibition's opening reception, six students were awarded a $100 Hanes Gallery Award and pieces by additional student artists were selected more »
On March 27 2014, Assistant Professor Joel Tauber's video art students projected their work on the exterior walls of Campus Grounds at Wake Forest University. JOLT featured 2-channel video art projects and single channel experimental films.
We speak often about teacher-scholars at Wake Forest: people who artfully combine a love for educating and challenging students with a passion for academics and scholarship. There is no better example of the teacher-scholar ideal than Dr. Margaret "Peggy" Supplee Smith, the 2014 Medallion of Merit recipient.
Joel Tauber talked about his upcoming art installation and feature film, The Sharing Project, on WFDD radio with David Ford. Listen to the 4-minute story and the 19 minute story. And, check out the preview video and more at thesharingproject.net.
With his assassination fifty years ago, President Kennedy became the Cold War's most famous victim. Befitting the conflict's secret ruses and double agents, the assassination was, from the start, rife with proliferating conspiracy theories. It is in this context of interpretative fancy that we must consider two paintings featuring Jacqueline Kennedy created in the aftermath more »

Hello friends, I've missed you!
It has been a few long months since I've last written a post, and whether that's good or bad, it was a break that I needed. Since becoming pregnant in January (with our first!), I've had very little energy and motivation to keep this up. Moms know what I mean! Since May, I've gained much of my energy back, but it all went into renovating our home from top to bottom (literally!) Moms will tell you that's called "nesting". Some dads don't understand it. It's a natural instinct during pregnancy. After all, who doesn't want to bring a newborn into a perfect world?
Speaking of perfect, my husband and I have been working hard to create the perfect nursery for our unborn daughter. It's not quite finished yet, but let me give you a sneak peek of what has inspired this room:
For those of you who know me, I love cottage rooms and a bit of shabby chic too. I'm not into themes, so there's no Minnie Mouse in this bedroom. I like white and floral and of course, pink for a baby girl. A little bit of diamonds and frills doesn't hurt either.
Here are some details on the items you see:

Why Toyota is a smart yen play
The stock has sound fundamentals and the company has huge exposure to the currency through its exports.
Yes, the company raised its earnings forecast to a five-year high on Feb. 5. Toyota told analysts that it expects earnings of 860 billion yen ($9.3 billion) for the fiscal year that ends on March 10. And much of that profit comes from a swing from a strong (78 yen to the dollar in October 2012) to a weak yen (93.54 yen to the dollar on February 5, 2013.)
The strong yen cost Japan's automakers 3.68 trillion yen in the five years ended in March 2012, Credit Suisse estimates. The automakers will recoup about 1 trillion yen in the two fiscal years that end in March 2013 and 2014.
What's interesting to me is how extremely conservative Toyota was about the yen-dollar exchange rate in its earnings forecast. The company did indeed revise its forecast for the yen-dollar exchange rate from 79 yen to the dollar to . . . get ready . . . 81. Considering that the yen traded at 93.54 to the dollar Tuesday, I'd say Toyota's new forecast for company profit is already in the money. Toyota also forecast that the yen would fall to 105 to the euro. It's currently at 126 to the euro.
A cheaper yen will help Toyota sell more cars against Detroit, and Korean and European makers such as BMW. Toyota's share of the U.S. market has climbed for the last two months to the highest level since May 2012. In 2012, Toyota outsold both General Motors (GM) and Volkswagen and regained the global industry sales crown it lost to General Motors in 2011. Toyota expects to deliver 8.85 million units in the fiscal year that ends in March -- a forecast that it raised by 100,000 units Monday. For fiscal 2013, the company projects that it will deliver 9.91 million vehicles.
I think Toyota is one of the best ways to play the yen, combining as it does a stock with sound fundamentals and a company with huge yen exposure through its exports. I calculate a target price of $120 for the shares. I'm adding Toyota to my Jubak's Picks portfolio with this post.

US Representative Sue Myrick (NC-09) has always been one of the most vocal critics of illegal immigrants in this country. So it should not come as a surprise that last week she disagreed with Obama's speech on immigration.
This week's Mint Hill Times editorial calls for a practical solution to the immigration problem that is more akin to what Fox News founder Rupert Murdoch wants: Set up a program that will allow the current illegals some level of legal status, and then restructure immigration laws so that we never again have this problem. Who else is on board with this idea? In addition to Murdoch and Obama, Michael Bloomberg (and many other CEOS and Mayors), George W. Bush, Karl Rove, Trent Lott, Ken Mehlman, former chairman, Republican National Committee, and Republican strategist Michael Murphy. Continue reading

My research interests focus on explaining biodiversity and ecosystem change over geological timescales, using the records of ray-finned fishes (half of standing vertebrate biodiversity) and Paleozoic vertebrates (half of vertebrate evolutionary history). I compile new morphological and taxonomic databases, the latter contributed to the open Paleobiology Database. I use approaches from fields ranging between quantitative paleobiology, community ecology, biomechanics, systematics, phylogenetic comparative methods, taxonomic classification, geometric morphometrics and mathematical modeling. I operate at the species and global level and at local and geological timescales.
This research has already revealed the origins, and near-death, of the modern vertebrate fauna around the end-Devonian Hangenberg extinction (the source of "Romer's Gap" following the origin of tetrapods), laid out the mode and timing of vertebrate recovery from climactic and global events, tracked predator-prey dynamics over geological timescales, supported a new ecological model for adaptive radiations in which diet outweighs habitat, challenged patterns of divergence between major clades and expanded our knowledge of vertebrate evolutionary processes and biodiversity past and present.

Michael Lohan is fighting back at some pretty serious accusations made by his daughter Lindsay Lohan. Read below on what Michael had to say.
Lindsay Lohan took to her Twitter to blast her father and even stating that he threatened to kill ex-wife Dina when she wanted to leave the relationship.
Michael Lohan has been publicly arguing with his troubled daughter Lindsay, attempting to get her into counseling to end her prescription medication addiction.
Lindsay and mother Dina deny her drug use so Michael released desperate phone messages from his daughter to the media to prove he wasn't making it all up.
Lindsay had some very nasty things to say about her father on her Twitter page on Thursday.
She wrote, "He's a deadbeat dad. He's disgusting to do this. He doesn't deserve attention. He needs help…
"She (Dina) blames herself for staying (with) him for so long, I'd beg her not to leave (because) he always threatened to kill her if she did…after disappearing, then coming home after being gone for several days while cheating on my mother&abusing substances… I haven't had a real relationship (with) Michael Sr. in years. That is the truth."
But Michael isn't taking his daughter's accusations lightly and says Lindsay's floundering career is God's way of punishing her for her drug abuse.
Michael told the New York Post, "That's a lie. I guess Lindsay is on more drugs than I thought to say something like that… No wonder why God is taking her entire career away from her. Because she's forsaken everything He's given her and she's done nothing but misuse all the gifts she's given."

MILWAUKEE, WI (WSAU) Aaron Rodgers apologized to Packers' fans yesterday for the team's 38-to-10 loss to the Giants at New York last Sunday night. On his weekly Milwaukee radio show, the quarterback encouraged Packer Nation to quote, "stick with us" because the team's still in a good playoff position with five games left.
The 28-point margin of defeat was the biggest since Rodgers has been a starter – and it tied for the second-largest loss since Mike McCarthy became Green Bay's coach in 2006. Rodgers also said there was some validity to receiver Randall Cobb's remark that the Packers' "care level" was not present against the Giants. The quarterback said quote, "Each person has to look in the mirror after a game like that, and ask themselves how much heart they thought they played with."
Rodgers said he was personally prepared and focused. But he said the Giants' defense got to him for five sacks, and the Packer offense did not execute very well. He said the adjustments need to be made to correct the sack problem and quote, "We can't just drop back every time." Rodgers said the Packers need to incorporate more screens and running plays that give defenses a different look.

Deepwater Wind announced Tuesday that it has submitted final applications for the major state and federal permits it will need to build a five-turbine wind farm in Rhode Island state waters 3 miles from Block Island.
The applications, filed with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the U.S. Department of the Interior's Bureau of Ocean Energy Management and the Rhode Island Coastal Resources Management Council, include three years' worth of studies of the environmental impacts of the proposed wind farm.
If approved, the $300 million project could become the first offshore wind farm in the United States, vying for that status with the proposed Cape Wind project in waters off Cape Cod, Mass.
"The filing of our permit applications represents a significant milestone toward development of the groundbreaking Block Island Wind Farm," William Moore, chief executive officer of the Providence-based Deepwater, said in a news release.
The company said its studies of the impacts on birds, marine mammals, fish and the overall habitat indicate that "there are no environmental impediments to building and operating the wind farm and transmission cable in the designated locations." The site for the proposed wind farm was previously identified in the state's Ocean Special Area Management Plan as one suitable for an offshore wind farm.
The Block Island wind farm would be comprised of five 6-megawatt turbines that would generate 125,000 megawatt-hours each year once fully operational, enough to power 17,200 Rhode Island households, according to an announcement from the Army Corps. Undersea cables would transmit the power to Block Island as well as send excess power to the mainland at Narragansett. The mainland cable would also send power to Block Island when the turbines aren't producing power.
The Army Corps will be receiving public comment on the application until Nov. 19. Corps spokesman Tim Dugan said a public hearing will be scheduled if there is a request for one.
Laura Dwyer, spokeswoman for the CRMC, said the agency is still reviewing Deepwater's application to determine whether it is complete. Once it is deemed complete, a public notice will be issued and a public hearing scheduled.
Deepwater said it expects to obtain permits in 2013 and to have the turbines operating by 2014. The five-turbine wind farm is conceived as a demonstration project to lay the groundwork for larger wind farms the company hopes to build to serve New England, Long Island, metropolitan New York and New Jersey.
Mike Elliott, project manager for the Army Corps, said all the environmental studies done by the state and the company in preparation for the application have raised no major problems thus far with the proposal.
"This seems like it does have a shot at being the first offshore wind farm to be built in the U.S.," he said.
In a news release, the Army Corps said it has made a preliminary determination that the project is "not likely to adversely affect terrestrial and marine protected species." The U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service and the National Marine Fisheries Service are being consulted about threatened and endangered species, and the agencies' input will be considered in the final permit decision, the corps said.
The project will temporarily affect 16.6 acres of fish habitat during construction and less than an acre while the turbines are operating, according to the corps. Laying the cables will temporarily disturb about 47 acres and about 1.3 acres during operation.
The corps noted that the project has been located outside of important habitats such as eelgrass beds and hard bottom substrates.
The Corps' public notice, with more detailed information, can be viewed at: http://www.nae.usace.army.mil/Regulatory/Public%20Notices/.
Public comments on the application can be sent no later than Nov. 19 to: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, New England District, Regulatory Division (ATTN: Michael Elliott), 696 Virginia Road, Concord, MA 01742-2751.
Additional information is available from Permit Project Manager Michael Elliott at (978) 318-8131 or (800) 343-4789 or or by email to: firstname.lastname@example.com.

'Safe Routes to School' to fund sidewalk improvement projects
Gov. Steve Beshear and Mayor Jerry Abramson today presented $31,578 in federal Safe Routes to School funding to Rangeland Elementary School, in Jefferson County, for sidewalk improvement projects.
"This project will do much to address pressing safety concerns, but it will have another benefit—health," said Gov. Beshear. "As more and more children in America and in Kentucky struggle with weight and nutrition issues, it is increasingly important for us to encourage physical activity.
"I encourage parents to also take advantage of the route and get active. Children learn from us, and we must make a conscious effort to live a healthy lifestyle."
"Once again, Governor Beshear is placing a priority on our school children," said Louisville Mayor Jerry Abramson. "We appreciate his leadership to literally make their paths to education safer and better."
The project will fund the following renovations and expenses:
"Any funding to make improvements to our schools is always welcome," said Sen. Denise Harper Angel, of Louisville. "It is especially gratifying during these tough economic times for Rangeland Elementary to receive money to help with necessary renovations. Projects such as repaving, improving the pedestrian pathway, improving the sight lines near the play area, and adding bike racks will make our school a safer, more appealing place for our children to learn and grow socially."
"I am pleased that Rangeland Elementary is receiving this funding to make much needed safety improvements to various pedestrian pathways," said Speaker Pro Tem Larry Clark, of Louisville. "It is important that students have safe routes to get to and from school each day."
Safe Routes to School projects are designed to encourage students in kindergarten through eighth grade to walk or ride bicycles to school – getting exercise and reducing motor vehicle traffic at the same time. The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet administers the program in Kentucky.
Information about the Safe Routes program in Kentucky is available at http://www.saferoutes.ky.gov.

"My sister saved my life when I was just a baby," begins Jeanette Walls' second novel. "Here's what happened." As in the author's best-selling 2005 memoir, The Glass Castle, Walls knows how to start — and tell — a story. There are many other similarities between these two books. Both begin with a senseless, almost life-threatening act that transpires out of extreme parental negligence. Both chart the peripatetic, dysfunctional lifestyle of a family as they ricochet across the United States in hopes of finding something better. And both are told with a balanced, yet whimsical, voice of insight and awareness but with little blame toward the individuals who are clearly at fault.
That said, with this novel, Walls takes considerable steps to fictionalize her autobiographical material, inventing a world all her own with a distinct cast of characters. Instead of four siblings, two headstrong sisters, "Bean" (or Jean) and Liz Holladay, are at the center of The Silver Star. And instead of bouncing from one mining town to the next, the sisters take an unexpected cross-country trip from the small town of Lost Lake in Southern California to the rural hills of Byler, Va.
The reader is pulled into this narrative by the plucky, infectious first-person voice of Bean, who serves as our lucid guide. A close literary cousin of Scout in Harper Lee's classic To Kill a Mockingbird, Bean is innocent and spirited, always up for an adventure and often reluctant to point the finger at her mother as the source of the difficulties in her life.
Bean, who is 12, and her 15-year-old sister, Liz, live on their own in a cinder-block bungalow after their mother, Charlotte, unexpectedly disappears. Within a week's time, she sends along a letter, with $200, explaining that she needs a break from taking care of her two daughters and more time and energy to pursue her creative endeavors as a songwriter-singer-actress. ("Chins up and don't forget to floss!" Charlotte writes at the end of her letter.)
In the meantime, Bean and Liz subsist on frozen chicken potpies and dodge questions from teachers and other locals about their mother's whereabouts. When they realize their mother isn't returning anytime soon, the sisters decide to take a bus to Virginia, where their estranged relatives live.
In Byler, Liz and Bean discover their recluse, widowed uncle residing in the dilapidated family home called Mayfield surrounded by overgrown gardens and towering trees.
"We heard the scraping and sliding of bolts, and the door opened," writes Walls. "A man appeared holding a shotgun across his chest. He had rumpling graying hair, his hazel eyes were bloodshot, and he was wearing only a bathrobe and a pair of argyle socks." Uncle Tinsley, a crusty curmudgeon, takes the girls in, and soon they settle into a new, steadier version of life. Bean learns the truth about her father, who was killed at gunpoint after standing up for her mother's honor. He was also a decorated veteran of the Korean War, and Bean's aunt gives her his Silver Star.
Despite the mother's absence, all is seemingly well until Liz decides that they need jobs, so they can be more self-sufficient. After little success, they are hired by Mr. Maddox, the irascible foreman of the mill — Liz as his personal assistant and Bean to do random chores around the house. As the reader quickly learns, there's been a deep-seated feud between the Holladays and Mr. Maddox for many years. Further painful complications and trials ensue.
As in The Glass Castle, Walls is particularly strong with details that vividly portray her settings and characters. The novel is set during the Nixon '70s and Vietnam War, and the author adeptly evokes the tumultuous era in the narrative without letting it overwhelm the primary thread of Bean's coming-of-age adventures. As a reader, you never forget where you are.
At times, exposition about familial history is flatly dispatched in dialogue, but for the most part, Walls delivers an entertaining, authentic narrative that animates the power of sisterhood in the face of difficult circumstances.
In the end, Bean and her voice supply the lively pulse for this novel. As readers, we root for her at every turn — with hopes that she will find a different way of life, that she'll forge friendships at her new high school and that she and her sister will survive the trials of their traumatic childhoods.
The author writes toward the novel's conclusion: " 'Don't be afraid of your dark places,' Mom told Liz. 'If you can shine a light on them, you'll find treasure there.' " Once again, Walls shines a light.
S. Kirk Walsh reviewed this book for the San Francisco Chronicle.

Let us pray…
Grant unto thy Church, we beseech Thee, O merciful God, that She, being gathered together by the Holy Ghost, may be in no wise troubled by attack from her foes. O God, who by sin art offended and by penance pacified, mercifully regard the prayers of Thy people making supplication unto Thee,and turn away the scourges of Thine anger which we deserve for our sins. Almighty and Everlasting God, in whose Hand are the power and the government of every realm: look down upon and help the Christian people that the heathen nations who trust in the fierceness of their own might may be crushed by the power of thine Arm. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end. R. Amen.

Food For Thought
"The legalization of the termination of pregnancy is none other than the authorization given to an adult, with the approval of an established law, to take the lives of children yet unborn and thus incapable of defending themselves. It is difficult to imagine a more unjust situation, and it is very difficult to speak of obsession in a matter such as this, where we are dealing with a fundamental imperative of every good conscience — the defense of the right to life of an innocent and defenseless human being."
- St. John Paul II

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn (WSAU-Wheeler News) -- Late-game heroics helped top-ranked Minnesota topple Wisconsin in men's hockey yesterday, 4-3.
The back-and-forth game ended in a game-winning goal for the Golden Gophers with just 26 seconds left in the game. Both teams were scoreless on the power play (Minnesota 0-5, Wisconsin 0-1).
The Badgers are back in Madison to face Penn State on Friday and Saturday, the very first Big Ten game and series at home.

YAKIMA, WA - Dan Newhouse, a Sunnyside farmer, former Director of the Washington State Department of Agriculture and four-term Member of the Washington State House of Representatives, announced Thursday that he is a candidate for Congress representing Washington's Fourth District.
"Since Congressman Hastings announced his plans to retire, I have received countless calls from friends, neighbors and associates encouraging me to run. After considering the important issues facing our nation and the people of Central Washington and following an in-depth discussion with my family, I have decided to enter the race to be Central Washington's next member of Congress.
I know that serving in Congress won't be easy and will often be frustrating, but I feel I have a duty to engage in finding solutions.
As a legislator and as the director of a state agency, I was acutely aware that every penny spent came out of the pockets of the taxpayers. I have reduced agency budgets and adopted lean working principles. It is time for Washington, DC, to follow the same rules that apply to countless local governments and private businesses by being just as fiscally responsible.
ObamaCare is an example of how complex government mandates create uncertainty and destroy jobs. Because of ObamaCare, all across our nation employer-provided health care plans are being cancelled and people with individual plans are finding their premiums rising dramatically. I will work tirelessly to see that ObamaCare is repealed and replaced with a market based approach which takes government out of the doctor-patient relationship.
As a lifelong resident of the Yakima Valley, I believe that I am well equipped to bring a conservative Central Washington perspective to Congress. I understand the vital importance of water and our river systems to our economy and quality of life. Removing the dams and the renewable power benefits they provide would be catastrophic. Given the steady improvement in fish runs, we cannot allow this to happen. I will work in Congress to support efforts to better manage our water resources, including additional storage, so that sufficient water and power are available for communities, agriculture, and future development while still meeting our environmental responsibilities.
While government cannot be allowed to continue to grow unchecked, it must still fulfill its promises, whether it is to our veterans or to entire communities such as those surrounding the Hanford site. I understand the responsibility the federal government has to clean up Hanford. They made the mess and they have the responsibility to clean it up. As your Congressman I will keep the pressure on the Department of Energy to follow through with clean-up in a timely manner."
Dan has a Bachelor of Science degree in Agricultural Economics from Washington State University and is a graduate of the Washington Agriculture and Forestry Leadership Program. He is past president of both the Hop Growers of Washington and the Hop Growers of America. Dan was elected four times to the Washington State House of Representatives and served from 2003 to 2009 where he received numerous awards and recognitions as a pro-business legislator from organizations such as the National Federation of Independent Businesses and the Association of Washington Business. From 2009 to 2012 Dan served as Director of Washington State's Department of Agriculture helping promote the state's abundant agricultural resources and encouraging the next generation of family farms.
Dan and his wife Carol have two adult children, Jensena, Devon and his wife Halley. The Newhouse family operates a 600-acre farm near Sunnyside where they grow hops, tree fruit, grapes and alfalfa.

MADISON, Wis. (WSAU) -- A judge has quashed subpoenas and ordered the return of property to the targets of a secret campaign-finance investigation involving Gov. Scott Walker.
A Wall Street Journal report says Judge Gregory A. Peterson ruled Friday some of those subpoenas were improper. Peterson is overseeing the so-called John Doe investigation into Walker's campaign and more than two dozen conservative groups.
Peterson wrote they ``do not show probable cause that the moving parties committed any violations of the campaign finance laws.''
His opinion remains under seal but the Wall Street Journal obtained a copy. Judge Peterson said he could not comment on the case.

CHATTANOOGA, TN (WRCB) -- Courtney Birt, accused of killing 16-year old Lamunta Williams March 5, appeared in Judge Clarence Shattuck's courtroom Tuesday morning.In a packed courtroom, juvenile witnesses shared their recollections of events the day Birt is accused of killing Lamunta Williams.The first witness said she was with friends, and heard a shot ring out. There was a knock at the door and the suspect, Birt, walked into the house. She also said she knew Birt from the neighborhood.The witness continued to say that Williams was in school at Howard the morning of the shooting.The second witness said that they were at the house for about an hour, and that she tried to snatch the gun out of Birt's hand.She said she heard three shots.
A third witness took the stand, and said he thought Birt was "tipped off" to Williams' location. After the shooting, the witness said he talked to his "favorite" teacher about it.
CPD Officer Karl Fields III testified that Birt's girlfriend admitted to being in an altercation with Williams on Valentine's day.
The case has been bound over to the Grand Jury; Birt will remain in prison.
Bigom's sentence for the murder is life in prison; the additional four years is the abuse of a corpse.

WASHINGTON (AP) — New advice from a doctors' group says to think twice before choosing robotic surgery for a routine hysterectomy.
Thursday's statement from the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists says for most women, the best choice is for doctors to operate through the vagina — using standard tools instead of a robot.
Dr. James Breeden, president of the OB/GYN group, says aggressive marketing may mislead women into thinking the robotic surgery is better. But for routine hysterectomies, he says there is no evidence that robotic techniques improve women's outcomes over regular minimally invasive surgeries. And it's much pricier. A study found robotic surgery added at least $2,000 to the cost.
Breeden says the robot may have advantages for women with unusual and complex conditions, but research is needed to show that.
