PHOENIX (AP) - Jury selection is expected to wrap up Tuesday in the retrial of an Arizona man charged with killing nine people in 1991 at a Buddhist temple in metro Phoenix.
Lawyers are expected to make opening statements Wednesday in the Johnathan A. Doody's retrial.
Doody is accused of participating in the August 1991 slayings at the Wat Promkunaram temple in one of Arizona's most notorious murder cases.
He was convicted in 1993 and sentenced to 281 years in prison, but an appeals court threw out his conviction in 2011 after ruling that investigators improperly obtained his confession.
He was put on trial again in August, but a judge declared a mistrial Oct. 24 after jurors failed to reach a verdict.
Doody's lawyers have said their client is innocent.

Adobe, Nokia, Samsung, Jaguar Land Rover, BMW and more confirmed on the programme at the Image Sensors conference 2014
Smithers Apex has announced the 7th annual Image Sensors conference, returning to the Park Plaza Victoria Hotel, London from 18-20 March 2014.
Image Sensors 2014 organisers have released the full conference programme for 2014, consisting of a two day conference and an additional day of two pre-conference workshops.
Over 18 speakers have been confirmed to present over the two days, including Adobe, Nokia, Samsung, Jaguar Land Rover andBMW. The 2014 programme will feature end user insights and technical innovation from global image sensor experts. The peer-researched agenda will address current issues and opportunities facing the image sensor market, and will include five key sessions: Image Capture and Processing, Gesture Recognition, Global Shutter Sensors, Automotive Imaging and The Future of Digital Imaging.
Given extended coverage on the Image Sensors programme for 2014 is automotive imaging, bringing vision to vehicles of today and tomorrow. Attendees will hear exclusive papers from three OEMs – VW, BMW and Jaguar Land Rover as well as leading Tier 1 supplier Valeo, to give a detailed analysis of imaging in the automotive sector, and image sensor developer Melexis will present on the challenges facing sensor producers.
Speaking at Image Sensors is Dr JungChak Ahn from Samsung, Juha Alakarhu from Nokia, Prof Sylvain Paris of Abobe, and Lindsay Grant of ST Microelectronics, all with expert knowledge to share in the opening session on consumer imaging, focussed on the latest sensor innovations and image processing techniques.
Gesture recognition will be presented by pmdtechnologies and Texas Instruments who both have made significant steps in evolving this technology to the next level of user interface. Day 1's closing session discusses global shutters, with an evaluation of the different technology pathways led by Guy Meynants of CMOSIS, Dr Shoji Kawahito of Brookman Technology and Dr Manuel Innocent of ON Semiconductor.
The closing session on day two delves into tomorrow's technology, with a session on 'The Future of Image Sensors'. High-speed imaging, artificial retina, next generation broadcast imaging, plastic electronics, and hyperspectral imagers will all be expertly covered by speakers from Ritsumeikan University, Nara Institute, BBC R&D, ISORG, and IMEC respectively. The session culminates with a closing Keynote from Prof Peter Seitz, sharing his experiences and vision for the future of semiconductor photosensing.
A workshop on, 'A Million Images per Second and Beyond' led by Dr Renato Turchetta, Rutherford Appleton Laboratory and Dr Albert Theuwissen of Harvest Imaging poses the question, 'What on earth shall I do with all these pixels?'. Both sessions incorporate three hour interactive workshops with discussion time alongside presentation slides. The workshops have proven a popular addition to the Image Sensors conference in recent years.

Democratic Congressman David Price is weighing in on the controversy surrounding raises at the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services.
Earlier this year, a handful of staffers received raises in excess of $20,000 a year, at a time when teachers and other state employees are undergoing a pay freeze."Nobody would care about that story if teachers had not been given the shaft," Representative Price told WNCN on Wednesday. "But they have been and that's why it's a story and that's why the Governor and the General Assembly ought to take a lot of grief over it."On Wednesday, the liberal advocacy group ProgressNC delivered a petition with more than 19,000 signatures to DHHS Secretary Aldona Wos, calling on her to take back raises given as part of promotions to Communications Director Ricky Diaz and Chief Policy Advisor Matthew McKillip. Both men served on McCrory's campaign for governor last year and received raises of more than $20,000 a year in April, bumping both their salaries up to nearly $90,000 a year.Neither Wos or Diaz met with protestors. Katy Munger helped deliver those petitions."There is nothing a 24-year-old can bring to the table that is worth $85,000 or $87,500 a year," Munger said.
READ MORE: More raises at DHHS; McCrory memo ordered cutbacks
In June, Anthony Vellucci, the information technology director for the state's new Medicaid bill paying system called NC FAST (North Carolina Families Accessing Services Through Technology), also received a "retention adjustment" raise of $23,000 a year, bringing his annual salary to $168,000. The raise comes as a number of localities across the state have criticized the program, saying it's been anything but fast, leading to backlogs for some people trying to file claims.Those raises came just weeks after Governor McCrory issued a memo to state agencies urging them to limit salary increases because of huge Medicaid cost overruns. He did cite promotions as one exception.In an interview with WNCN last week, Governor McCrory defended some of those raises, saying the men were well-qualified, though he has not spoken out specifically about Vellucci's raise. WNCN has reached out to Diaz repeatedly for comment, but the station has not received a response.
Letter From a School PrincipalMeanwhile, an elementary school principal in Fayetteville is also weighing in. Peggy Raymes, Principal of Margaret Willis Elementary School wrote Governor McCrory concerned about those raises. She says teachers deserve better.The full letter is below:Dear Governor McCrory,I am the principal at Margaret Willis Elementary school in Cumberland County. I have a dedicated staff that has been working "on their own time" this summer to be ready for our boys and girls next week. They have not been paid to attend training or prepare classrooms during their " vacation." They do this because they are dedicated professionals who see the big picture, when it comes to the impact and the value of public education, on our future. I am concerned that the 2 young men referenced in this report have been awarded substantial pay increases because of their job performance. I am extremely discouraged that these 2 young men were given those pay increases when I have teachers in my building who have been working for 8 years, and are still only receiving a " 3rd year " teacher salary. I am struggling to understand what type of job performance constitutes a 37% salary increase, when the students at my school, (with a free and reduced lunch population of 80%), have made high academic growth for the past 5 years on our NC End of Grade tests. Would that type of job performance not warrant some type of salary increase? As a veteran educator with 30 years of experience, and as a Commissioner from Stedman, N.C. I would respectfully like to request the opportunity to sit down and talk with you, Governor; but what I would really like to happen, is for you and my legislators to come and spend one day at Margaret Willis Elementary School, or any public school in NC, for that matter. I believe that after that encounter you would be able to find alternative measures for balancing the state budget. I do not believe you are the kind of man who would sacrifice the future of the children of our state, but I do believe that you are listening to advisors who do not have a clear picture of the benefits of a sound and free public education; nor do they understand the impact their recent decisions are having on our schools, and ultimately the future of our state. So, my question, Governor McCrory….do we give 37% pay increases to young men who worked for your campaign, or do we pay the teachers in North Carolina a fair wage? I look forward to hearing from you.Respectfully,Peggy RaymesPrincipalMargaret Willis Elementary School

Advertising Service
You can use the Advertising Service to display banner ads in your applications. The Advertising Service uses a central web portal where you can add or remove ad networks, and adjust the percentage of ad requests that are sent to each ad network without having to change your application. You can also track ad performance metrics such as the reach, CTR (Click-Through Rate), eCPM (effective cost per thousand impressions), and earnings. To get more information about the Advertising Service, visit the Advertising Service page.
The Advertising Service supports various ad types that conform to the MMA guidelines for mobile ads. Ad networks and ad agencies can also create ads that are designed to integrate with BlackBerry Device Software. For more information about the MMA guidelines, visit the MMA Mobile Advertising Guidelines.
As you develop your application, you can post questions and find answers on the BlackBerry Advertising Service forum.
Signing up
To use the Advertising Service, you need to sign up for the service, and provide information about your organization and the application that you want to incorporate banner ads into. To sign up for the Advertising Service, visit the registration page.
After you sign up and BlackBerry approves your request, you will receive an email message with login information and a unique zone ID for your application. The Advertising Service uses the zone ID to identify your application and to track ad performance metrics.
The following diagram shows you the components that make up the Advertising Service:
- Ad networks
An ad network receives ad requests from your application through the Advertising Service mediation layer, evaluates the requests, and returns ads through the mediation layer that are suitable for the target audiences of the applications and the BlackBerry devices.
- Database
The database contains information about your application, preferences that you specify in the web portal, and statistics about the past performance of ad networks. The mediation layer can use the information in the database to determine the ad networks to send ad requests.
- Web portal
The web portal is a website where you can view statistics about the performance of the ads in your application, manage your participation with ad networks, and generate reports. The mediation layer can use the preferences that you specify in the web portal to determine the ad networks to send ad requests.
- Server-side API
The server-side API enables the components of the mediation layer to communicate with ad networks, devices, developers using the web portal, and the database. The server-side API receives ad requests from the applications on BlackBerry devices, directs the ad requests to the appropriate ad networks based on the statistics stored in the database, and returns the ads to the devices.
What can the Advertising Service offer?
- Simple implementation
You can use the Advertising Service to integrate ads into your application without having to write a lot of code. To display an ad, you create a QML or C++ file that defines the ad banner, including the size, position, and refresh rate of the banner. When your application displays the banner, the remote ad server sends ad content to your application automatically.
- Access to multiple ad networks from one location
You can use the Advertising Service to access multiple ad networks without having to negotiate agreements with each ad network.
- Intuitive ad selection
Statistics about the performance of ads in your application are updated in near real-time so that your application always receives high-performing ads that are relevant to the target audience of your application. The Advertising Service mediation layer can use the statistics to automatically send ad requests from your application to the ad networks with the highest performing ads.
If you want to take a more hands-on approach, in the Advertising Service web portal, you can specify your own preferences for how the mediation layer sends ad requests. You can allocate your ad inventory to the ad networks that provide the best CTR and fill rate, or you can allocate your ad inventory to ad networks manually.
After the mediation layer sends an ad request to an ad network, the ad network determines what ads to return to your application based on the past performance of ads in the ad placement (for example, CTR and fill rate).
- Trial zone ID to use for evaluation
A trial zone ID is a free account that you can use to test the performance of a banner ad in your application. You do not need to register with BlackBerry to obtain a trial zone ID. Using a trial zone ID can help you decide whether to register for a unique zone ID to earn money from the ads in your application.
The trial zone ID that you can use to test ad banners is 117145.
How does it work?
Here's what happens when a user clicks an ad banner in your app:
- The application sends an HTTP GET request that contains an ad request to the Advertising Service mediation layer. The ad request contains the unique zone ID for the ad placement (the zoneId parameter).
- The mediation layer receives the ad request, examines the past performance of the ad networks and the preferences that you specify in the web portal, and sends an HTTP GET request that contains the ad request to the appropriate ad network server.
- The ad network server receives the HTTP request, examines the past performance of ads in the application, identifies the target audience based on the information that's in the ad request, and returns the appropriate HTML ad to the mediation layer.
- The mediation layer returns the HTML ad to the application.
- The application displays the ad in a Banner control.
- The user views and clicks the ad.
- The application sends a request through the mediation layer to the ad network server to obtain a destination URL. The contents of the destination URL can vary depending on the type of action. For example, the destination URL can contain a website address.
- The ad network tracks the click and sends the destination URL back through the mediation layer to the application.
- The application performs the actions that are associated with the type of action (for example, opens a website).
Best practices
The way that you display ads in your application can have an effect on the performance of the ads. When incorporating ads into your app, consider the following guidelines:
- Place ads on the screens that have the highest amount of traffic for your application. For example, place an ad on a screen that appears when an application opens rather than on a screen that requires multiple clicks to navigate to.
- Place ads in prominent locations on your screens, such as the top or middle of the screen, depending on the design of your application.
- Avoid crowding ads with the rest of the content in your application. Ads should be clearly visible so that they are easier to interact with. Consider creating a separate ad screen or dialog box for the ad.
- Display an ad at a suitable moment. For example, don't display an ad when a game is playing. Display the ad before or after a game. For other types of apps, display an ad when the user moves from one screen to the next, or when the user completes a task in the app.
- Provide enough time for users to view the ad. Refresh ads every two or three minutes.
- Keep the ad visible when the user scrolls down the screen in your application.
- Follow the MMA guidelines to display ads at the appropriate size. For more information, visit the MMA Mobile Advertising Guidelines.

You know the story—the children in the nursery, Wendy, Michael, and John; the bell-voiced fairy Tinkerbell, complete with magical fairy dust; Peter himself, the boy who wouldn't grow up but who flew away to Neverland instead; and of course the nastiest, naughtiest pirate whose hand was ever eaten by a crocodile, the delightfully vile Captain Hook. The story has many a quirky charm that you, in the busy business of your grown-up life, may have forgotten: Nana, the all-knowing doggy-nurse; the way Mrs. Darling tidies up her children's minds, which is of course the "nightly custom of every good mother"; and author J.M. Barrie's sweetly skewed world in which fantasy and reality have never met more lovingly—even when Captain Hook is stealing kiddies from their beds or turning tail and fleeing from the big bad crocodile. There are dozens of editions of Peter Pan, which was originally a play in 1903. The one-hundredth anniversary edition illustrated by Michael Hague is a special treat, with lush full-page paintings and a truly inspiring rendition of crooky old Captain Hook.

Joseluis Marquez was sentenced to life in prison with parole on Friday for his murder conviction in the 2010 death of an Arizona State University student who was dragged by a car during a robbery.
Marquez was convicted of first-degree murder and robbery earlier this year in the death of 21-year-old Kyleigh Sousa.
Sousa's family asked the judge for Marquez to receive life in prison without parole, but only got their wish partially fulfilled. Marquez was sentenced to life with the possibility of parole after 25 years.
One after another, before the sentencing, Kyleigh Sousa's family told a judge how much she meant to them.
"My sister, my best friend, my peace of mind were stolen from me by Joseluis Marquez," said Michael Sousa.
They told a judge that they suffer every day without her.
"She died like an animal in the roadway in the parking lot of an IHOP restaurant without any family members by her side," said Kyleigh's mom, Karen Montenegro.
"You can't provide the death penalty however you can provide the alternative to allow him to rot in prison until it's his time to rot in hell," says Nick Montenegro, Kyleigh's stepdad.
"A life is a life, why should somebody who committed an act and take another life be entitled to live one after it? You know it's disappointing," said Bernie Sousa, brother of Kyleigh.
Sousa was outside a Tempe restaurant on May 26, 2010, when a man grabbed her purse, jumped into a rental car and took off.
She became entangled in her purse strap and was dragged about 30 feet before she fell to the asphalt and suffered severe injuries.
Sousa was kept on life support until her family arrived from the Toms River area of New Jersey.
Police say a witness identified Marquez as the driver. But Marquez's mom still thinks her son is innocent.
"My son is a loving caring person, he would never hurt nobody, he would give anything, he would take the shirt off his back for somebody," she said.
Marquez chose not to address court or apologize.

The staff were great and always responded quickly and cheerfully to our requests. We booked online through an NCL personal cruise consultant who was also very responsive, replying to each of my emails within 24 hours. No complaints about any of the staff before or during the cruise.
We met the senior staff at the CC meet and greet on the first day at sea, and they were very keen to assure us that we should let them know if we had a problem and not keep it to ourselves on the ship, only to vent later on the internet. That's fine insofar as it relates to problems that can be fixed on the spot, but of course some complaints relate to much wider systemic issues that are beyond the ability of the ship staff to fix. So I thought it a little disingenuous of them to bemoan the tendency of passengers to complain on the internet but not to them. Having said that, I did get the impression that if we had had an immediate problem on the ship, they would have done their best to fix it.
This brings me to the issue of the food. It ranged from mediocre to good. It was never great. We ate mostly in the specialty restaurants - I didn't like the look of the buffet at all, and our one meal at Versailles was by far the worst we encountered. It is unrealistic to expect a truly gourmet experience considering the numbers that have to be catered to and the cost we were paying.
I wasn't upset about having to pay extra for the nice food, because, really, the cruise is not expensive. You are paying from around $100 to $200 per person per night, and that includes accommodation, transport and entertainment. For that sort of money, the food is going to be basic. Another factor is the vast quantities of food on offer. Maybe if portions were smaller, or fewer courses offered (three courses for both lunch and dinner is a lot of food) then quality could improve. But I understand that other passengers have different priorities and presumably NCL knows its customer base pretty well.
Other things that others have complained about we just ignored - the bingo, the art sales, the shopping seminars ... there was no hard sell to attend any of these and we found it easy to filter out everything we weren't interested in.
I am very aware that much of what we liked about our experience on the ship was a direct result of being able to afford the suite and the specialty restaurants. I imagine it would be a different experience altogether if you were on a stricter budget. Overall though, I still thought the cruise was reasonable value. It is much cheaper than staying at a five star resort.
Our only sour note came after we got home and realised we had left some personal items in the cabin. I emailed NCL in the (probably) vain hope that they have some sort of system for returning lost property, and have not even had the courtesy of a response. NCL if you are reading this, and I think you must be, there is no point spending so much effort on customer relations during the cruise, only to ignore them once it is over. People do remember this sort of thing and yes, they will vent about it on the internet.

SPOKANE-- Smoke from regional wildfires continued to affect air quality in the Inland Northwest Monday.
Calm winds combined with above average temperatures have created stagnant conditions across our area trapping smoke across the Inland Northwest.
Spokane Regional Clear Air Agency reported moderate air quality around Spokane. Unusually sensitive people are encouraged to reduce prolonged and heavy exertion,
Spokane Clean Air declared a Stage 1 Impaired Air Quality Thursday. Stage 1 prohibits all outdoor burning and the use of fireplaces, non-EPA certified wood stoves and fireplace inserts. The ban includes all fire extinguisher training and fire fighting instruction fires.
Residents in Eastern Washington experienced air quality "unhealthy for sensitive groups" such as the elderly, very young children and people with breathing difficulties, heart disease or lung disease according to the Washington Department of Ecology.
The biggest health threat comes from the fine particles in smoke. These can cause burning eyes, runny nose, bronchitis and other illnesses. Smoky air also can aggravate heart and lung diseases, and even lead to death according to the Washington Department of Ecology.
Weather systems over the weekend in Eastern Washington caused some dispersion and didn't set off new wildfires, but transported some smoke from central Idaho wildfires further west into Washington.
Areas of North Idaho reported moderate air quality. Kootenai County, Silver Valley, Sandpoint, Bonners Ferry, and St. Maries all reporter moderate air quality. Unusually sensitive people were asked to reduce prolonged or heavy exertion outdoors.
No open outdoor burning was allowed by Idaho state air quality rule.
The stable and dry upper level high pressure ridge continued to dominate northern Idaho weather, little change in weather pattern was expected over the area Monday according to the Department of Environmental Quality. Concentrations of fine particulate remained elevated in most areas due to wildfire smoke.

A new report published by Green Cross Switzerland and the Blacksmith Institute claims that pollution is a major health concern, soon to be on par with malaria and tuberculosis.
Pollution problems and toxic substances are proven to endanger the health of almost 125 million people worldwide, said Nathalie Gysi, Executive Director of Green Cross Switzerland, in a press release.
The findings are based on data from 49 countries. Some of the world's most toxic pollution problems include battery recycling, described as the worst offender, followed by various industrial activities, like lead smelting, ore processing and chemical production.
The report makes a series of recommendations, such as allocating more resources to cleaning up polluted sites and implementing clean technologies in the industrial sector.
While the authors note their numbers are not "conclusive" they hope the study will outline the "potential scale" of the pollution problem.

Bring Childrens' Drawings To Life
You've probably come across companies that turn kids' drawings into stuffed toys or other products. They look fantastic and clearly they are professionals. Here are a few of my favorites including a few you can do yourself at home.
1. Duvet Cover Tutorial from A Thousand Words. Jen spent a long time sketching out her kid's drawings onto his duvet cover. A lot of energy and time but worth the investment.
2. DIY Stuffed Toy from a drawing on What I Made Today. Rachel shows you how to do this on our own in a two-part tutorial. It's involved but gratifying.
3. Pillow Tutorial using Fabric Crayons from Skip to my Lou. This one is a little easier.
4. Crayon Creatures is a website that turns your child's drawing into a sandstone sculpture. I'll bet you wouldn't otherwise find "hamster in a speedboat" (pictured above, #4) on store shelves.
5. Kidz Can Design provides a service that turns kids' art into jewelry. A nice gift for a mother!
There are also many websites all over the world that provide a drawing-to-stuffed toy service. The principle seems fun and it makes for a nice memento.

I made my kids "pocket pals" with my daughter's artwork (http://www.snugglebuguniversity.com/2013/03/pocket-pals.html) . It really wasn't that hard at all to print on fabric with an ink jet printer, especially using the printable fabric sheets that you can get at the craft stores. If the idea of running fabric through your printer scares you, you could always print on transfer paper (available at craft and fabric stores) and then transfer to fabric.
love these ideas

Herbert Smith sees PEP return to 2006-07 levels as turnover nudges up
Readers' comments (24)
That's pretty lame given over half of their partnership is now non-equity. Guess that means their real profit per partner is £420,000, which is faaaaaarrrrrrrr behind their peer firms. Or what used to be their peer firms!
Revenues up 3%.
Profits down 6%.
Internet surfing by London corporate partners up 50%.
Partner satisfaction with Jonathon Scott and David Willis down 75%.
Number of litigation partners who will be demanding more corporate heads on the chopping block up 100%!
Now now. Let's not get all snarky. This decline in profitability is all a part of the master plan. We're going to address the issue by bringing more partners into the ranks of management, writing numerous papers, hiring an outside consultant, opening more offices in far flung regions and socialising the issue so as to not damage our collegial culture. We're calling it Project Wishful Thinking.
Bloody good idea Willis! Let's make sure to raise it at the next GPM.
Right now I wish I was a partner at Linklaters. Sigh.
Oh sure. Report on our profits being down 6%. You missed the real story, which is that our collegiliality is up 6%!
I should have voted for Tim Parkes for senior partner. What was I thinking?!?
Partnership at Herbert Smith £840,000. Reading these comments, priceless!
I hope Freehills got a due diligence out in the merger agreement!
I suppose this means the minimum track from non-equity to equity will now be extended again from four years to five years.
Wow. PEP down almost 20% from when David Gold was at the helm. Bring back the Gold Standard!
Scotty did you even read the article? profits are down 7% not 6%
Kudos to the partners of Herbert Smith! This shows a real sense of social responsibility with the Herbert Smith partners taking a 7% pay cut and sharing some of the pain with all of the associates and support staff who have been made redundent. Partners at lesser firms would never be so willing to take this kind of pay cut. Good for you noble Herbies!
How long before they drop out of the silver circle?
This ridiculous castigation of a firm at the top of the Bronze Medallion group is pathetic.
Grow up. All of you.
To the first comment at 12:27 pm. I think is rather the other way around. Same profit divided into less equity partners gives a higher PEP.
Some of the commentary here is a bit hysterical. Herbert Smith is still one of the finest litigation shops in the world, with an excellent corporate and finance practice. The fact that its got the results it has, with such a poor deal environment (which effects everyone) shows the strength of its disputes group. Everyone needs to settle down and stop making irresponsible comments.
Hysterical. But true nonetheless.
The first post at 12:27 am is correct. If half of the firm partnership is non-equity then the real "profit per partner" is roughly half of their reported PEP - which is "profit per equity partner". One half of their reported profit per equity partner of £840,000 equals a profit per partner of £420,000. Firms use non-equity partners to hide the real profitability of the partnership as a whole.
For goodness sake you are all obsessed with profit and PEP levels. Are you capitalist robots? What happened to your real interests before you sacrificed them for the tedium of commercial law?

This one did not distinguish between handheld and hands-free devices — a major weakness.

September 25, 2007
Ontario, CA
Safariland®, part of the BAE Systems Products Group, announces today the introduction of the Rapid Light System (RLS™) for law enforcement, security personnel, and civilians that combines a gun-mounted light, and hand held flashlight into one integrated light system.
Safariland has earned a leadership position and an industry reputation for "Innovation Not Imitation™" for its holsters and equipment in the law enforcement, military and sporting good markets. With a research and development team comprised of veteran law enforcement officers and champion competitive shooters, Safariland utilizes this comprehensive industry knowledge to design, develop and manufacture some of the most innovative and highest quality products in the world.
"The concept and development of the RLS is revolutionary to this industry, yet it is an incredibly simple design," said Scott Carnahan, director of Marketing, Safariland. "RLS reduces the amount of equipment that law enforcement and tactical personnel must carry by providing a single product that addresses multiple situations with ease and flexibility. It is also a great tool for civilian use."
Offering maximum versatility and usability, the RLS system employs a single, ultra-bright flashlight and separate gun mount with a built-in clip. The flashlight mounts onto any weapon incorporating an integral rail or Picatinny rail system, including rifles and shotguns. Designed to mount in two quick and easy steps, the RLS slides onto a weapon's rail and "locks" into place, rapidly transitioning from standard flashlight for hand-held use to tactical illumination. The light can easily be removed from the mount and the belt clip secures easily to belts or garments, eliminating the need for additional equipment on an already full duty belt.
With ultra-bright LED technology, the RLS flashlight is bright enough to serve as an officer's primary light system, providing more than 50 hours of use with just three AAA batteries. The standard push button provides controllable on/off illumination of a target, minimizing loss of handgrip, sight picture and exposure.
The RLS mount can be purchased separately, allowing the user to attach their own compact flashlight. It can accommodate a variety of compact lights ranging from .97 inches to 1.06 inches in diameter.
The RLS Light/Mount System is available in black, with an MSRP of $125.00. RLS Mount Only has an MSRP of $45.00.

One of the toughest decisions that a lot of teens face is whether to have sex. Teens who decide to become sexually active must also take responsibility to stay protected from unplanned pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases (STDs).
In the United States, the teenage pregnancy rate is higher than in many other countries. Approximately 750,000 teen girls become pregnant every year and most of them don't intend to. In addition to preventing unplanned pregnancies, sexually active teens must protect themselves from STDs — which means that condoms must be used every time.
The most effective method of birth control is abstinence. The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) has said that sex education that includes information about both abstinence and birth control is the most effective way to keep down the rate of teen pregnancy.
As a parent, you play a key role in this education. It's important that your kids feel, from a young age, that they can come to you with a question about sexuality, no matter what it is. It helps if you treat sexuality as a natural part of development, not something dirty or embarrassing.
Providing the facts is vital, but it's also wise to give your kids a sense of where you stand. Teens, especially, may seem uninterested in your views on sex and birth control, or even your values in general, but they usually take in more than you think.
At times, kids may not feel comfortable approaching parents with questions about sexuality. That's OK. But it's important that they have a trusted adult — like a teacher, school counselor, school nurse, or doctor — to talk with about birth control and other issues related to sex.
Couples who do choose to have sex have many effective birth control methods to choose from. Check out the articles below to learn important facts about these different options. You may be surprised — some popular ones aren't as effective as many people think:

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WHAS11) -- A Louisville Metro Police Officer is on paid leave and facing criminal charges after an incident at a downtown Louisville nightclub. He is the latest in a string of LMPD officers to find themselves on the other side of the law.
The Prime Lounge in downtown Louisville is the latest place where a citizen has accused a police officer of assault.
A criminal summons was issued earlier this week against Officer Charles Wheeler, after a man accused Wheeler of striking him repeatedly, causing bruising and swelling to his face and a black eye. But he is far from the only LMPD officer under investigation.
Last week, a citation was issued charging officer David Graham with assault. He allegedly slapped a man in handcuffs and poked him in the throat several times.
In early September Officer Chauncey Carthan allegedly shot an unarmed man after pulling him over, while off duty.
And back in July, Joseph Pence, allegedly hit another man with his personal vehicle while off duty. Police reports say he had been drinking at the time.
"They have to set the standards. They're here to solve crimes and to protect us. Not go overboard like that and abuse their positions," said Louisville resident Rhonda Gardner.
Gardner believes incidents involving officers are not on the rise, she thinks they are just being reported more often.
"Now in this video age in the media age, everybody's got cell phones and camera. It's coming to people's attention more," said Gardner.
"There's a lot of people on the police force and overall, they do a great job and they are there to help and not harm anyone," said Louisville resident Greg Johnston.
An arraignment date has not yet been set for Wheeler.
During his career at LMPD, he has received four commendation and on reprimand, for missing court dates.

Philadelphia's Dr. Dog is the kind of band that can't seem to get enough of life on the road. Earlier this fall, during the first of two nights at the Fillmore on what is the band's second full tour in support of April's Shame, Shame (Anti), fans were treated to a lengthy, lively set of retro-minded indie-rock.

"How long do you plan on sitting down there?" said Damon Gough of Badly Drawn Boy as I stared up at him through my fifty millimeter lens perched on the steps of the stage. "Three songs," I replied, holding up the appropriate number of digits. Our conversation ended there. It was the first time a musician had interacted with me at a concert, and to be honest, it was slightly awkward.

After Steve Kawa, Mayor Gavin Newsom's chief of staff, started making noises about local hire's impact on folks who work at San Francisco Airport, since technically it's in Millbrae, I asked Sup. John Avalos, the legislation's chief sponsor, to clarify this point.
Again, the Board of Supervisors scheduled a vote to select a new mayor to succeed Gavin Newsom. Again, members of the public lined up for almost an hour to urge the board to do so and to suggest names and qualities they'd like to see in Room 200. And again, the board delayed the decision with no reason offered for why.Read more »
If billionaire yachtsman and Oracle CEO Larry Ellison rejects San Francisco's bid for the America's Cup, the whole ordeal might conclude with the kind of sappy ending that used to punctuate every episode of the sitcom Full House. The moral of the story would go something like this: It was never about the $1.2 billion in economic activity generated by the Cup, San Francisco, but something far more precious -- coming together as a "city family."

So SFUSD just decided to cut half of its school bus routes (including, I believe, one that my son sometimes takes to Aptos Middle School). I should be outraged -- but I'm not. Jerry Brown has made it clear that even if he raises taxes, it's going to be an ugly year for schools and everyone else, and I'd rather see cuts in transportation than in teachers and classes.Read more »
The ACLU is going back to court to demand that the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation quit stalling and hand over the remaining documents showing how the state has scrambled to procure a drug for executions.

Unemployed workers and community advocates hoping to secure Mayor Gavin Newsom's support for Sup. John Avalos' groundbreaking local hire legislation rallied at City Hall December 14 to meet with Newsom's chief of staff Steve Kawa. But Newsom and Kawa were said to be in intense negotiations over the Americas Cup bid. So, James Richards, founder of Aboriginal Blacks United, waited until Kawa could see him, along with Florence Kong of the Bayview-based Kwan Wo Ironworkers. Joshua Arce of the Brightline Defense Project, and a group of local residents.
"'Living in the city is so expensive," Kong observed. "It's not fair that a lot of local work is being done by workers from outside the city."
SCENE: The New California singer unleashes her talents on the Bay at last
Elise-Marie Franklin, a.k.a. Tiny Bones, breezes into Four Barrel Coffee in the Mission, turning several heads in her wake, and it's like, "Wow, dayum, star power!" (She declines a cup of slow-drip because, "I have so much natural energy, I'd probably explode." I can see that.)Read more »
Dear Andrea:
I have a weird question. I have been with my boyfriend for two years and our sex life was great until recently. But I have started to get really ticklish when he touches me, and it's putting us both off sex.

For those users who behave well on Youtube, the video sharing website(read: follow Youtube Community Guidelines and observe copyright rules), there is good news. Youtube has started to remove upload limits for such well behaved users , upload limits on Youtube earlier restricted uploaded videos to be of maximum 15 minutes.
Just click the "Upload" button at the top of the site to see if your account qualifies. And remember, if you're uploading a video that was previously rejected for being too long, go into "My Videos" and delete the old video before uploading it again.
If you are one of the lucky user, you will be able to upload videos of any time limit. There is literally no time limit and videos can even go into hours and hours. As per Youtube, this has been possible because of the advancements in Content-Id system, which is essentially advanced set of copyright policies and content management tools to give rights holders control of their content.
This launch has been made possible in part by the continued advances in our state-of-the-art Content ID system, as well as our other powerful tools for copyright owners. Over 1000 global partners use Content ID to manage their content on YouTube, including every major U.S. movie studio and music label. We remain as dedicated as ever to building and improving the most sophisticated technology in the world to help copyright owners protect their rights.
Video Uploads of more than 15 minutes were earlier allowed for Youtube Partners.
My personal take – This is an excellent move by Youtube. Allowing users to upload videos which are more than 15 minutes has always been a valid need. Now that it has finally arrived, shall we assume that costs of distributing videos is indeed coming down?
By the way, one of the best ways of distributing your videos is through TubeMogul.

Afterwards: May Wedderburn Cannan - an introduction
Page details
May Wedderburn Cannan - an introduction
Read background information. Note the active role Cannan played in the war effort and her experience in France as a VAD nurse.
Path details
This Pathway is to be used for revision purposes, predominantly. Whilst the over-arching theme is 'Afterwards,' several further themes ('Disillusionment,' 'Memoirs,' 'Sacrifice') emerge and pupils should be encouraged to explore these.
The main aim of the Pathway is to enable pupils to draw connections between works. This is especially useful for those sitting the AQA Unit 6 paper, 'Reading for Meaning.' They should also be encouraged to analyse literature of different forms (poetry & prose), focusing on how the pieces fit in to literary tradition / the canon.
The tasks relating to the various sources are listed within the 'Page Details' section of the page. Feel free to add to these where necessary.

10 U.S. Code § 581 - Selective retirement
(a) A regular warrant officer who holds a warrant officer grade above warrant officer, W–1, and whose name is not on a list of warrant officers recommended for promotion and who is eligible to retire under any provision of law may be considered for retirement by a selection board convened under section 573 (c) of this title. The Secretary concerned shall specify the maximum number of warrant officers that such a board may recommend for retirement.
(b) A warrant officer who is recommended for retirement under this section and whose retirement is approved by the Secretary concerned shall be retired, under any provision of law under which he is eligible to retire, on the date requested by him and approved by the Secretary concerned, which date shall be not later than the first day of the seventh calendar month beginning after the month in which the Secretary concerned approves the report of the board which recommended the officer for retirement.
(c) The retirement of a warrant officer pursuant to this section shall be considered to be an involuntary retirement for purposes of any other provision of law.
(1) The Secretary concerned shall prescribe regulations for the administration of this section. Such regulations shall require that when the Secretary concerned submits a list of regular warrant officers to a selection board convened under section 573 (c) of this title to consider regular warrant officers for selection for retirement under this section, the list shall include each warrant officer on the active-duty list in the same grade or same grade and competitive category whose position on the active-duty list is between that of the most junior regular warrant officer in that grade whose name is submitted to the board and that of the most senior regular warrant officer in that grade whose name is submitted to the board.
(2) Such regulations shall establish procedures to exclude from consideration by the board any warrant officer who has been approved for voluntary retirement, or who is to be mandatorily retired under any other provision of law, during the fiscal year in which the board is convened or during the following fiscal year. An officer not considered by a selection board convened under section 573 (c) of this title under such regulations because the officer has been approved for voluntary retirement shall be retired on the date approved for the retirement of such officer as of the convening date of such selection board unless the Secretary concerned approves a modification of such date in order to prevent a personal hardship for the officer or for other humanitarian reasons.
(e) The Secretary concerned may defer for not more than 90 days the retirement of an officer otherwise approved for early retirement under this section in order to prevent a personal hardship to the officer or for other humanitarian reasons. Any such deferral shall be made on a case-by-case basis considering the circumstances of the case of the particular officer concerned. The authority of the Secretary to grant such a deferral may not be delegated.

Happy Mondays are an English alternative rock band from Salford, Greater Manchester. Formed in 1980, the band's original line-up was Shaun Ryder on lead vocals, his brother Paul Ryder on bass, lead guitarist Mark Day, keyboardist Paul Davis, and drummer Gary Whelan. Mark "Bez" Berry later joined the band onstage during a live performance after befriending Shaun Ryder and served as a dancer/percussionist. Rowetta Satchell joined the band to provide backing vocals in the early 1990s.
