How do I start writing TypeScript projects in Visual Studio? There's no option for it when I create a new project. I have Visual Studio 2012 installed along with the TypeScript add on
We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.
I just found the solution: Manual installation of the VS-Extension.
In some way, the VS-Extension is not getting installed. You can do it manually. There is a
If you are running an x86-based system, try to look at
Worked for me. Now I can create TypeScript projects and it is listed in the Visual Studio extension list.
Note that the newer versions of TypeScript dropped the folder
You can add TypeScript files to an existing project using the Add > New Item dialog.
You can also create a project of type HTML Application with TypeScript using the Add > New Project dialog. This project type is under Installed->(Templates)->Visual C#.
If these options are missing from Visual Studio, you should try re-installing the TypeScript Visual Studio plugin.
Followed the other answers but could not locate TypeScriptLanguageService.vsix after installing TypeScriptSetup.0.8.0.msi on Win7 64 w/ VS 2010.
To install on VS 2010, use 7zip to open the above msi and extract "TypeScriptLS.vsix_File", remove the trailing _File, and run as usual.
This gives a new TypeScript project template (but not a file template mysteriously), intellisense, code highlighting, etc.
I didn't have the project and ts file templates also, tried reinstalling it(just by running vsix file) that didn't help, so I 1. uninstalled(from the VS2012 manager) the extension 2. closed VS2012 and then installed it again and voila- the Project and file template magically appeared. Thank god it worked- I can start playing with the language without having to run transcompilation manually every time.
Installing typescript adds a new project type as well as adds a file type for existing projects. After installing typescript, you can try searching "typescript" in the new project window. It shows "HTML Application with TypeScript" to me.
Every .ts file typescript file will add a dependent .js file.
Hope this helps!
Old post, new suggestion:
I've spent a few hours on this issue on Win8/VS2012. After multiple install/reinstall (of Typescript plugin v 0.8.3), the one thing that worked, was to run VS2012 in Administrator mode and (re)install Web Essentials 2012. That did the trick for me and I got Typescript as it's own section in
What reminded me of the run in admin mode was the process to update documentation (if you want to install documentation locally) where it too had an annoying cryptic error. Running in admin mode was also the answer.
You don't have to run in admin mode all the time, just probably a good practice when updating the IDE itself (new plugins, etc.).
For version 0.9.1.1 I was able to make it work following the instructions here: http://typescript.codeplex.com/wikipage?title=Compile-on-Save.
Support for Typescript was just disabled on Web Essentials 2012 3.0: http://vswebessentials.com/changelog
Another tip - you need to install Visual Studio for Web. It will not work with just VS for Desktop. Also, you need to install the plugin after VS, so if you installed the plugin first, uninstall it then reinstall.

I've heard that John Linebaugh has a small, caliber specific manual for heavy 45colt ruger loads but I can't find it or how to get one. Any help would be apreciated.
Posted 22 March 2007 - 05:33 PM
Thanks SJ! I think the "manual" I've heard about is probably his writings on heavy 45 loads. I checked out that site and it was very informtive. He even had a 350gr load, but his favorites are the 310/320s so I think I'll order some and do some plankin'. No I didn't spell that wrong. Plinking is for automatic pistol rounds (50 AE exepted) and magnum level handgun cartridges under 40 caliber, once you get above that you are officialy "plankin'!" :lol:Thanks for your replies too guys. 4R you should have a peep at that site, it's got some cool info for the 45 colt shooter/handloader

Hi everybody. My name is Matt and I'm a gunaholic.I tried to tell myself that this would be the last one for a while and that I'd start spending more time and money on one of my project cars, but wouldn't you know it, yesterday one of the guys I work with tracks me down to tell me that his buddy won a rifle at a dinner and wants to sell it at a very reasonable price. I told him that I didn't need it but if he were to knock a little more of the price I'd take it off his hands. I'll just have to wait and see.
WOW another new gun ! you are on a roll I am so jealous...........

Find better use for UConn money
In January, Gov. Dannel P. Malloy unveiled his "Next Generation Connecticut" proposal, which would pour more than $2 billion into the University of Connecticut over the next 10 years. The goal is to expand research and development, and strengthen science, technology, engineering and math programs.
Gov. Malloy's course is ill-advised. Since 1995, the state has dumped nearly $2 billion into the university via the "UConn 2000" and "21st Century UConn" programs. However, UConn is unworthy of further state aid because of its notorious money woes. Rather than "Next Generation Connecticut," the state's focus should be on helping Connecticut residents attending UConn, the state universities, community colleges and the online Charter Oak State College.

I am currently working as a software engineer.I am also studying for a Masters degree.This means that I don't get any free time.I work 10 to 7 and when I go home I have to study.I don't even get any free time on weekends because I still have a lot of work to do on my Thesis.Sometimes I feel so frustrated that I don't want to do anything.This is really affecting my productivity.Please give me some suggestions.
I am experiencing the same situation. What made it worse is my master's supervisor is trying to make me quit from the job claiming my performance is not satisfying. However, I tried to come with creative solutions. First, I focused on the relationships on both sides. Good relationships, apart from they make things easier, help much to improve your performance and increase your enthusiasm. Make you wake up in the morning realizing that there is something good waiting for you. Second. Plan weekly, rather than daily or monthly, I agree here with The balance between rest and productivity. I use this technique for a couple of years and trust, it changes your life. Third, and most importantly, efficiency, do not spend an hour on task that you can finish in 30 minutes. finish in the 30 minutes with double effort and go mess around in the other 30 minutes. keep yourself refreshed.
It's time to bring in two absolutes: sleep and take a break. Yes, you have so many things to do, and this needs to be finished, and that needs to be worked out before tomorrow, and and and and.
But it's all a matter of priorities and you're letting urgent win from important.
Set a time to stop working in the evening and stick to it (and don't go to bed immediately, take at least 30 minutes to do some light household chores, have a drink, maybe pack your bag for the next day. TV might not be a good idea, but you can try).
Set a time for breaks and stick to it. At least one per day. Take the break regardless of the papers/screens that are still open on your desk. Make sure you enjoy the breaks - if you like walking, take a walk; if you like workouts, do that. Setting a time may be an absolute clock time or a measurable moment like 'having finished X'.
And you need your occasional half/all day break too. Do it.
Ignore the pro/con arguments in your head. Do it.
In addition to the other answers here, you could try and work with your employer's support, ie get them to allow you some time flexibility, or study time, or even a period of 4 day weeks (you'd probably have to accept a 4/5 salary as well) in order to gain back some time.
Many employers do offer study breaks (shorter than a sabbatical, but longer than a normal 2 week holiday)

PENN Neuroendocrine Tumor Cme Symposium: A CME-Certified Course
The Abramson Cancer Center of the University of Pennsylvania
Last Modified: July 26, 2011
Friday, September 9, 2011
7:30 AM — 8:00 AM Registration and Continental Breakfast
8:00 AM — 5:00 PM Educational Session
Download Conference PDF
University of Pennsylvania Biomedical Research Building II/III
421 Curie Boulevard
Philadelphia, PA
Course Directors:
Debbie L. Cohen, MD
David C. Metz, MD
This conference is designed for endocrinologists, internists, oncologists, gastroenterologists, geneticists, nephrologists, pathologists, radiologists, specialists in nuclear medicine, physician assistants, nurses, nurse practitioners and other allied health professionals.
Neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) consist of a relatively homogeneous group of tumors that are often well-differentiated and associated with an indolent clinical course. While considered to be rare, their incidence has been on the rise
(the prevalence of these tumors is quite large, >100,000 in the USA). These tumors develop from the neuroendocrine cells dispersed throughout the body and they are generally incurable in the setting of metastatic disease. Due to their ability to produce hormones, their clinical presentations can be rather dramatic and varied. Successful management requires an understanding of the disease process as a whole and a multi-modality approach with contributions from medical oncology, surgery, endocrinology, gastroenterology,
nephrology, pathology, interventional and diagnostic radiology, nuclear medicine and genetics.
This CME program has been designed to provide cutting edge information on all aspects of NET patient management.
Course Objectives
Upon completion of the program, learners should be able to:
- Identify the appropriate tests to diagnose pheochromocytoma and conduct the appropriate work-up
- Describe the genetic mutations associated with pheochromocytomas, paragangliomas and other neuroendocrine tumors and how these mutations affect prognosis and treatment options
- Diagnose, stage and treat patients with alimentary tract neuroendocrine tumors
- Review the interdisciplinary components of state-of-the-art management of patients with neuroendocrine tumors
For more information, please see the conference PDF.

40 Years Ago: Pete Townshend and Keith Moon Join Eric Clapton On Stage
From the "with friends like these" files, Ultimate Classic Rock tears a page from Eric Clapton's lengthy tour diary to look back on the night Keith Moon and Pete Townshend of the Who joined him on stage — and left Clapton with a toy ukulele broken over his head.
On tour behind the recently released '461 Ocean Boulevard,' Clapton and crew arrived in Atlanta on Aug. 1, 1974, for an evening at the city's Omni Coliseum. Ticketholders were treated to a set list that included 'Let It Grow,' 'Willie and the Hand Jive,' and 'Badge' — plus the surprise addition of Clapton's famous friends Moon and Townshend, who came out to add a little extra star power to 'Layla' and 'Baby, Don't You Do It.' Moon reportedly sang along during 'Little Queenie,' and when it was all over, Townshend is said to have smashed a plastic ukulele belonging to drummer 'Legs' Larry Smith over Clapton's noggin.
If Clapton was bothered, he didn't let it keep him from inviting the duo back the next night in Greensboro, announcing his first guest by telling the audience, "And tonight, for your pleasure or my pain, one of the two, the great Pete Townshend." Moon reportedly followed by forcing Smith out of his kit. Unfortunately, the trio didn't make a habit out of playing on stage, but below, you can watch a 1989 interview with Clapton and Townshend — no ukulele in sight:

Answered: Can we get a grid which got his column are autoresizing with their content?
I see with grid, we can do two setting.
Without forcefit, we need put a width on each column, then if the global size of each column is over than the grid width, we got a scrollbar, but if the column width sum is less than the grid width, we lost space.
So i tried put forcefit, this can allow to remove the bottom scrollbar, but in my case too many field are truncate.
So i was wondering how to get a grid which adapt like a classic table. Depends on his column content. Is it possible in extjs?
Or is it possible in extjs to get a grid with a bottom scrollbar which doesn't truncate any column and autowidth each column with his max content for each column ?

I am a thirty year old woman who has faced cancer twice in my lifetime. The first time I had Hodgkin's was stage 2B and the second Stage 4B.
Facing cancer from the age of 22-27 is tough. It takes away the(supposedly) best years of your life. It is difficult to hopefully meet someone and marry, not knowing whether or not you may never have children. As a young woman in the prime of her life, I grow fearful that I will never see my thirty-first birthday or have the joy of motherhood.
Sometimes, you feel like an outcast, like you have the word cancerwritten on your forehead and everyone knows that you are different. Life isdifferent for a cancer patient in remission. When you go to theoncologist, you never know what the results are going to be. It is kind oflike playing Russian roulette, you never know which one has the bullet.
I hope that I will be able to see the sunshine, smell the flowers,laugh with my loved ones, for a long time. But, if a higher power needs me, Iknow that the time spent here on this planet will be for me to educatepeople my age that we are not immortal and things can disappear with a blinkof an eye.
January 19,1999 is my fourth year in remission. I know I will make itto my fifth.
Keep the faith and good peace to all.

The Franklin Police Department continues to investigate a Bank Robbery. Police say just before 2:00 p.m. on Thursday, November 15, the Citizens First Bank at 1200 South Main Street in Franklin was robbed.
Police say the suspect entered the bank with a black bag, and armed with a handgun. He approached the tellers and demanded money. The suspect placed the money in the black bag and left though the front doors.
He fled the scene in a tan Honda with a TN license plate that was parked near the front doors. Police found the car abandoned, shortly after the robbery. It was determined it had previously been reported as stolen.
The suspect is described as a white male, approximately 5'10", 180 lbs, wearing sunglasses, a dark pullover, black ski mask, blue jeans, and blue tennis shoes.

My computer won't boot up the installation iso file from the CD. I've gone into bios and enabled boot from cd-rom. The system won't recognize that it can be boot from this file. I have windows xp. Trying to install 12.04.2. I have x86 architecture. I then changed the bios to only boot from cd-rom and it promts f1 to reboot (endless loop) or f2 to setup.
Either your BIOS does not recognize that CD, or the burn did not work right. I'd try again with another CD to make sure that the burn worked okay. If you have another computer, you could try to boot from that CD on that other computer. Also, if you have a 32bit computer, did you make sure you had the 32bit Ubuntu (opposed to 64bit)? Because your BIOS could not boot a 64bit version without the adapted hardware, obviously.
I have personally made the mistake of accidentally writing an iso file as a file to the disk. The iso file is designed to become a disk. If you made the same mistake, your computer will not be able to boot from the disk. I cannot recommend Ubuntu's page enough to help with this issue.
you can check the integrity of your download and/or your CD. have a look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM there are instructions for checking the iso file and cd. the method for checking the CD is a little bit complicated it seems, but you could try and checking the iso is very strait foreword, and might save you lots of trouble.

Proposed Florida Immigration Law Exempts Canadians, Western Europeans From Scrutiny
Florida is one of at least 20 states designing an immigration bill similar to Arizona's SB-1070, which requires police to check the immigration status of anyone they think might be in the country illegally. State Rep. William Snyder (R) introduced the legislation in August, and Rick Scott, the Tea Party-backed Republican candidate for governor, favors such a bill.
Snyder has denied criticisms that such legislation could be used to discriminate against Latinos, saying in a recent radio interview that "race, ethnicity, and national origin cannot be used in making arrests. It's immoral, illegal, and unconstitutional." However, the bill he introduced does appear to do just that — it exempts all Canadian and Western Europeans from extensive scrutiny. The exception, first reported by the Miami New Times, says a person will be "presumed to be legally in the United States" if he or she provides "a Canadian passport" or a passport from any "visa waiver country." Four Asian nations and all 32 Western European countries make up the visa waiver list.
So under the proposed law, Canadians and Western Europeans will simply be presumed to be here legally, and they are not required to document it. "That language makes it clear that police are targeting only a specific minority," Susana Barciela, policy director at the Florida Immigrant Advocacy Center, told the New Times.
After running ads during the Republican primary explicitly calling for an Arizona-style immigration law in Florida, Scott has been largely silent on immigration since the general election began. But last week, Scott said he would support Snyder's bill if it passed. At a Univision gubernatorial debate earlier this month, he reiterated his support for an Arizona-style law, but said that his support was on the condition that "none of our law enforcement is ever put in a position that they are even accused of any racial profiling." Watch it:
Either Scott is not aware of what's in the bill he's promised to support, or he doesn't find an exclusion for predominantly white countries to be "racial profiling."

I have a Cube Analog Disc 2012 bike, and recently discovered that I have no screws inserted in the bottle cage mounts. Is it possible for rust to form in this area? Also, is it possible for the water to enter inside the tube and develop rust on the inside (since there is no hole at the bottom of the frame, I believe water will remain inside until it clears off)?

It is possible for water or sweat to enter the frame, and for corrosion to build up. Any rust would be most likely to happen on the steel bolt (which is missing) rather than on the aluminum frame, but oxidization comes in many forms.
While this is unlikely to cause you any significant issues, it's an easy fix. Any M4 threaded allen bolt, between 1.5 and 2.5cm will fit just fine.
Stop by the hardware store or your LBS, and you'll be sorted in just a few minutes.
Your bike has aluminium frame, it can not suffer from rust. There is such thing as aluminium corrosion, but it is a very slow process, you bike will be fine for years.
But, of course, you better cover the holes. Cheap solution is a piece of tape, but you can either buy a bottle cage or any screws that fit there.

Let $M$ be a $\pi_*(MU)$-module. The Landweber exact functor theorem gives conditions for the functor that sends a space $X$ to $ MU(X) \otimes_{\pi_*(MU)} M$ to define a homology theory on spaces, which thus comes from a spectrum.
It'd be nice, though, if one could construct the spectrum directly, instead of going through the homology theory. For instance, it would be nice if one could construct an actual $MU$-module (possibly under further hypotheses) or an $MU$-algebra when $M$ is an algebra. Is there another version of the exact functor theorem that lets one do this?

Last Modified: January 15, 2015
Leukemia is a cancer of the blood or blood cells. There are several types of leukemia and these are classified by how quickly they progress and what cell they affect. In order to understand how leukemia affects the cells, it is helpful to first understand what normal blood cells do.
All of these products are formed in the bone marrow, a spongy area located in the center of bones. Larger bones have more bone marrow, and therefore produce more cells. The larger bones include the femur (top part of the leg or thigh), the hip bones, and parts of the rib cage. The bone marrow contains a small percentage of cells that are in development and are not yet mature. These cells are called blasts. Once the cell has matured, it moves out of the bone marrow and into the circulating blood. The body has mechanisms to know when more cells are needed and has the ability to produce them in an orderly fashion.
In the case of leukemia, one blood cell goes awry (in the majority of cases this cell is a white blood cell) and the body produces large numbers of this cell. When looked at under a microscope, these abnormally produced cells look different then the healthy cells and do not function properly. The body continues to produce these abnormal, non-functional cells, leaving little space for healthy cells. This imbalance of healthy and unhealthy cells is what causes the symptoms of leukemia.
Leukemias are classified by two factors, how quickly the disease develops and what cells are affected. The disease is either classified as acute or chronic, referring to how quickly it develops and progresses. In acute leukemia, the white blood cells multiple very rapidly and are very immature, and therefore cannot function properly (remember, immature cells are called blasts). The blood fills with blasts quickly, causing the patient to develop symptoms and seek medical attention.
In chronic leukemia, the blasts form more slowly, allowing the body to continue to produce functional cells, causing fewer symptoms for the patient. These cases are often diagnosed during a routine physical or blood work. Chronic leukemia may cause the spleen to become enlarged, which can be felt by the doctor during a physical, prompting further investigation.
The types are further divided by the type of white blood cell that is affected, lymphoid cells or myeloid cells. These types are called lymphocytic leukemia and myelogenous leukemia, respectively.
The types include:
Unfortunately, we do not know what causes most cases of leukemia. Several things have been identified as risk factors - that is, exposure to them puts a person at a higher risk of developing leukemia, but it is not a certainty that this exposure will lead to leukemia. These factors include exposure to high-energy radiation, like that released from a nuclear accident or bomb. Some genetic syndromes, such as Down's syndrome, put a person at higher risk. People who work with the chemical benzene over a long period of time also have a greater chance of getting leukemia. Some scientists feel that exposure to electromagnetic fields, like those that come from power lines, may put a person at higher risk, but this has not been proven. Prior treatment with certain types of chemotherapy and having a personal history of certain blood disorders such as myelodyplastic syndrome (MDS), are also risk factors. Finally, smoking cigarettes increases the risk of acute myelogenous leukemia because it is a source of exposure to benzene. It is important to realize that many patients with leukemia do not have any identifiable risk factors.
Because we do not know the exact cause, it is not possible to recommend ways to prevent leukemia. If possible, one should avoid smoking, exposure to radiation, and the chemical benzene.
Leukemia is not a cancer that we screen for because it is rather rare (accounting for 3% of all new cancer cases), and early detection does not improve survival in most cases. To determine if a person has leukemia, a blood count would be drawn by the doctor, which would show an abnormally low or high number of white blood cells in a person with the disease. Regular physicals by your healthcare provider are your best method of screening.
The blast cells are unable to perform their normal function of fighting infection, so patients may develop fevers or infections that won't go away. As the number of immature cells (blasts) increases, the normal cells are crowded out. This leads to low red blood cell counts and low platelet counts. A low red cell count is called anemia, which may cause the patient to feel tired or appear pale. A low platelet count affects blood clotting, causing the patient to bleed or bruise easily.
As mentioned before, acute leukemia tends to cause symptoms more rapidly than chronic leukemia. These patients tend to go to their healthcare provider because they feel sick. In chronic leukemia, symptoms may not appear for some time, and when they first appear, they may be mild. These cases are often found during a routine physical.
Some common symptoms include: fever, chills, weakness and fatigue, swollen or tender lymph nodes, liver or spleen, easy bleeding or bruising, swollen or bleeding gums, night sweats, weight loss, and bone or joint pain. In acute leukemia, the abnormal cells can accumulate in the brain or spinal cord, causing headaches, vomiting, confusion, or seizures.
In both acute and chronic leukemia, the healthcare provider asks about medical history and conducts a physical exam. During the exam, abnormalities such as enlarged spleen, liver or lymph nodes may be detected, prompting further investigation. A laboratory test called a complete blood count would find blast cells present in the blood, thus suggesting a diagnosis of leukemia. This test can reveal that the patient has leukemia, but further testing is required to determine the type.
To determine the type of leukemia, the healthcare provider takes a sample of the bone marrow. This is done by inserting a needle into a bone (usually the hip bone) and removing a sample of the marrow. These cells are examined under a microscope, allowing the physician to determine what cell is abnormal, and whether it is an acute or chronic leukemia. It may also be necessary to perform a lumbar puncture (spinal tap) to determine if leukemia cells have entered the nervous system. This decision is dependent on the type of leukemia and the patient's symptoms.
Treatment is dependent on the type of leukemia, and may differ dependent on the patient's age, health and extent of the disease. For specific treatments, look below for links to the National Cancer Institute's PDQ.
Leukemia is a complex disease, and with about 54,270 cases per year in the United States, it is relatively rare. The disease is slightly more common in males and is also more common in Caucasians than African-Americans. Due to the relative rarity of the disease, it is recommended that patients receive treatment at a medical center that is experienced in treating the disease. Acute leukemias need to be treated quickly. The goal of therapy is to induce a remission, which means there is no evidence of leukemic cells, and the body returns to normal. Once this is achieved, patients often receive further therapy to prevent a relapse (return of the disease), which is called consolidation therapy.
Chronic leukemias may not need to be treated right away, depending on the symptoms at diagnosis. It has been thought in the past that chronic leukemias could never be cured, but this thinking has changed with the development of new therapies.
Patients with acute leukemia are followed closely, with frequent monitoring of blood cell counts, to watch for relapse, after therapy has induced a remission. Patients who have a remission that lasts five years are generally considered cured. In chronic leukemia, blood counts may be monitored for years, with or without treatment, depending on the case.
There have been many promising advances in the treatment of leukemia over the past 40 years. In 1960, only 14% of all patients with leukemia were alive five years after diagnosis. This number increased to 35% in 1970, and is now about 46%. The death rate of children with all types of leukemia has decreased by 61% since the 1970s. Survival of children with acute lymphocytic leukemia, specifically, has increased from 53% to 82% during the same time period. These advances have been made possible by researchers dedicated to studying leukemia and clinical trials of innovative leukemia therapies.

|This sauce is one of my favorite ways to use an abundance of cherry tomatoes!
Every year when it's time to plant the garden, I have a bit of an argument with myself regarding how many cherry tomato plants to buy. I like cherry tomatoes well enough, but there are so many interesting varieties of regular tomatoes. Some years I think about eliminating cherry tomatoes altogether, but then I think about not being able to make this sauce.
This isn't my most informative post for Weekend Herb Blogging, since I've already written about basil, parsley, and oregano, but I've had this recipe in my archives for more than a year without a photo, and I really wanted to update it. I can't remember where I got the recipe, but I do know the original recipe didn't have sausage, so you could certainly leave it out. In this recipe, the tomatoes are cooked just long enough to start to soften and become really flavorful. It's spicy with hot pepper flakes and savory with parsley, oregano, and basil. It's the perfect sauce for hot spagetti, and a very quick dinner for those late summer nights when you want something good but don't feel like doing a lot of cooking.
Spicy Cherry Tomato Sauce for Pasta
(Makes enough sauce for 4 servings of pasta)
2-3 hot Turkey Italian Sausage links
(in Utah, I buy Jenno-O brand sausage)
3-4 cups cherry tomatoes, cut in half
1-2 T. minced fresh garlic (you can use minced garlic from a jar with good results)
1 tsp. or less dried red pepper flakes
(the kind you sprinkle on pizza)
1 - 2 tsp. dried oregano (or 2-3 tsp. fresh)
3 T. chopped fresh parsley (or more)
3 T. chopped fresh basil (or more)
4 - 5 T. extra virgin olive oil
Fresh grated Parmesan for serving
Add olive oil, red pepper flakes, garlic, oregano, and cherry tomatoes. Cook 3-4 minutes, until tomatoes are starting to soften. Add sausage, basil and parsley and cook 3-4 minutes more. Serve over hot linguini or spaghetti with lots of fresh Parmesan.

If I change the aperture for a particular photo, why don't I see a change in the brightness of the image in the viewfinder?
You will not see a change of brightness through the viewfinder as the aperture is only stopped down when the photo is taken. This allows the auto focus sensors to focus accurately as many cannot focus below certain apertures. It also provides more light for you to compose your shot with.
Many DSLRs have a "Depth-of-Field preview" button that stops the aperture down to what it will be when the photo is taken. You will notice a difference in the light and depth of field when this button is pressed but only if the chosen aperture is both smaller than the maximum of your lens and what your focus screen lets in. This can be anywhere between F/2 (measured) and F/3.8 (reported).
If your camera has an electronic viewfinder (DSLR or mirrorless) the brightness of the viewfinder is set independently of the brightness as exposed. Often these cameras have a setting buried in a menu somewhere to adjust to the screen's brightness to the actual exposure that the camera anticipates using.

WEIRTON - Some potential future civic leaders took their first steps toward serving the community this weekend with the kickoff of the 2013 class of Leadership Weirton.
The program, offered each year by the Weirton Area Chamber of Commerce, began Friday with a welcome dinner at Undo's and a SIMSOC exercise Saturday at the Weirton campus of West Virginia Northern Community College.
"This is the 21st year the chamber has sponsored Leadership Weirton," Chamber President Brenda Mull in welcoming the class Friday.

Relaying quotes from Douglas MacArthur, Dwight Eisenhower and many others, Mull explained there are a variety of opinions as to what leadership involves.
As part of Leadership Weirton, participants will take part in a series of sessions to learn about local government, health services, education, history and culture, and business and economic development.
Mull encouraged the class to take time during the next five months to spend time together, learn about each other and learn about themselves.
"In Leadership Weirton, you will become one and you'll work together," she said. "Put your best foot forward. Be really involved."
Members of this year's class and their sponsors are: MaryLee Ammon, of Hancock County Savings Bank; Lawrence DeRosa, of West Virginia Northern Community College; DeeAnn Greene-Marszalek, of Melaleuca The Wellness Company; Marisa Marino, of Mountaineer Casino, Racetrack and Resort; MaryLou Martire-Pittman, of Weirton Wal-Mart; Karen Mason, of Hancock County Senior Services; Jennifer McHenry, of Hancock County Savings Bank; Sarah Parsons, of Hancock County Schools; Renee Salkovick, of the City of Weirton; Alecia Sirk, of Top of West Virginia Convention and Visitors Bureau; Patricia Soplinski, of the Weirton Area Chamber of Commerce; P.J. Tokash, of Weirton Geriatric Center; and Danielle Welshans, of Fairfield Inn and Suites.

Cleaning is just a little easier with our Swivel-It Microfiber Floor Duster by Casabella. The microfiber cleaning head pivots 180° to reach hard to access places. The microfiber loops attract and hold dust (rather than spreading it around), without the use of chemicals. The wide cleaning surface reduces cleaning time.
Enter your zip code for product availability and pickup options at your nearest store or select a store by state.
Microfiber cleaning cloths are exceptionally efficient. The millions of tiny fibers in each strand attract, absorb and remove all kinds of dirt, dust and bacteria. Plus, microfiber naturally inhibits the spread of bacteria. Whereas traditional cotton cloths push around dirt and germs, microfiber traps it until washed.
It's also an environmentally friendly solution since it's reusable (rather than disposable) - and because it allows you to tackle many cleaning tasks without the need for harsh chemicals.
Microfiber allows you to clean larger surface areas before it has to be laundered. Once washed, it's renewed and ready to go again. To prolong it's effectiveness, do not use bleach or fabric softeners when laundering microfiber. Whenever possible, launder microfiber items by themselves, and never with towels or other items with a lot of lint. And never use high heat settings on microfiber.

In the Southern Hemisphere (Brazil, Australia, South Africa, etc.) in October they are heading into the summer. Do they say Mashiv HaRuach at this time of the year or do they say it from Pesach to Succos?

All of the discussion on this seems to go back to Shaalos Uteshuvos Toras Chaim (by R' Chaim Shabsi, 17th century, in response to a halachic query - the first known one, by the way - from the Jewish community in Brazil). He says that during the times when they need rain, if it's not during the Northern Hemisphere winter, they should just request it (i.e., say ותן טל ומטר, and I guess also משיב הרוח) in the blessing שומע תפלה; otherwise they should omit it altogether. In short, then, there might indeed never be a time when they say it.
Now: from Sukos to Pesach. I was in the southern hemisphere in the northern-hemisphere summer some years back, and as I recall they did not say mashiv haruach umorid hagashem (or hageshem for that matter); no further source, sorry.
"Mashiv haRuach" is not a seasonal request, so I would wonder about a printing error in those commentaries that put it in those terms.
"veSeein Tal uMatar" on the other hand is a seasonal request , and the timing used is specific to the region around Eretz Yisroel. So the question arises as to why do others start saying it at the same time (@ Dec 04). In fact, the ROSH among others , tried to change the starting time to be appropriate (sp?) to the region one is living. Obviously they lost the argument, what is not so obvious is why. It has been suggested that the Eretz Yisroel time was kept as a type of "Zecher l'Churban".

Recently, a Japanese Vogue spread for which Crystal Renn had taped her temples garnered a lot of controversy when a behind-the-scenes video showed the tape (which didn't appear in the final spread thanks to the magic of Photoshop). Given fashion spreads that glorify or reference blackface have become common in recent years, you could forgive fashion writers for concluding that Vogue had employed eye tape to make Renn look "more Asian." Indeed, that was my initial assumption. I brought the shoot up on the phone with Crystal yesterday,* and she surprised me with her explanation of the eye tape, and why she — not the makeup artist or the fashion editor — had requested it that day. Renn had a lot to say about race, transformation, the many editorial choices that go into the production of the imagery fashion trades in.
A warning: what follows is perhaps the world's longest published conversation about eye tape.
Jenna Sauers: So explain why your eyes were taped. And, uh, explain how, for one thing. Explain how they taped your eyes, because I'm still like, 'How does that not hurt?'
Crystal Renn: Oh no it doesn't at all. It's great. You just feel the character, because it's so not you — and in a way you become something else. It's kind of just the extra key of the transformation. And transformation is why I did it. Anna Dello Russo did not tell me to tape. No-one told me at the shoot to tape. It is something that I often do to add to the look of the character if I feel that the look makes sense, and often I suggest it. I have very heavy brows, and they're more curved than straight, and sometimes when you're doing a character it might require more of a straight brow. Which sounds like such a small detail, but it can completely transform the face. Lots of actresses do this, models do this — I don't know how willing models usually are to do it, or if other people suggest it, but I am willing, and I even bring [tape] it in my own kit.
It made sense for the makeup. When you're at a shoot, you sit down, and you hope — at least, in my career, I've made it a point to be part of the team, and that's what I like so much about modeling, because I really enjoy about the job — so I really try to be as involved as I can be with makeup, with hair, with the creative direction. I wanna know what's going on at all times and offer my own suggestions. You know, everyone comes in with kind of their expertise. Makeup knows what they're doing, but they have to know your face. Creative direction, they know what they want for the shoot. The photographer has to highlight who you are with the light. And I, the model, know my face in different lights. I know my face in different makeups. I know my body in clothes. I know what works. Because I've been doing this so long, and I take it very, very seriously. So something such as tape — yeah, that's not surprising on an everyday basis. Every day, that could happen. And just because we were shooting Japanese Vogue, that is not why we did the tape.
Jenna: So it's not about race — it's about your brow shape. Can you give some examples of other jobs that you've done with tape — are there famous pictures of you out there where you're wearing eye tape and I've just never noticed?
Crystal: Oh yeah! Yeah — tons. A perfect example, and an extreme case where I taped even more than usual was the French Vogue plastic surgery shoot. Where we were kind of even making fun of the whole fact that the entire face was completely done in a different way. That was a complete transformation, more than any shoot I've ever done.
Jenna: Yeah, you were using latex, and facial prosthetics, and all kinds of crazy stuff.
Crystal: Yeah. That was absolutely a job where I suggested tape, I thought it was fantastic — um, it just added to the character. And sure, that's an extreme case—
Jenna: What about more normal stuff? Are there other editorials that you've done that you can think of?
Crystal: Oh, yeah. I kind of feel bad naming them now that this kind of whole thing came out.
Jenna: But it's not a racial thing, you're saying. I mean, giving more examples — it just shows that apparently this is a totally common thing that I never knew about the industry.
Crystal: Well, there's quite a few. I'm trying to think, let's see. Okay: Vogue cover. I did the Mexican Vogue cover, right? That was taped.
Jenna: That was taped.
Crystal: Totally taped. Love that eye.
Jenna: I'm learning all your secrets!
Crystal: That eyeliner was so good, I had to tape. It just made it better. Anything like beauty [stories], eyeliner — it just accentuates the makeup.
Jenna: Did you tape for any of your shoots with, like, Glamour? I'm Googling your pictures now and staring at your eyebrows really intensely, you should maybe know.
Crystal: Glamour, no. Glamour loves a curved eyebrow. No, we didn't tape for Glamour. And they kind of like a more natural look anyway, so it's not kind of suitable for that. No, it tends to be when there's more makeup and drama. And the point is transformation. As a model — I mean, I can't speak for all models, I can go on assumptions based on what I've seen — my assumption is that most girls enjoy the job, but they do the job and they go home. For me, this is my job, this is my art, this is my life, this is my message. To transform is the greatest part of my work. It's the thing that makes me the happiest. And to be able to try to do as many looks as I can and to show as many faces as I can, it's exciting to me and I hope to excite people when I do it.
I've had moles painted on my face. I've had freckles painted on. I've been made lighter, I've been made tanner with makeup. It's exciting to me...It's not who I am, standing in front of the camera — something happens. I become something else. That's part of why this is a job, it's a performance. There's a whole team and tons of work that goes into 8-10 images that you see in an editorial...As a model, I have made it a big point to learn fashion references, which include different types of brows. And because I don't want to shave my brows off and have the makeup artist, or whoever, draw 'em on, we use things such as tape and makeup to fake it, basically. And to bring the look. Which might be a '20s brow. Or to take 'em away. I did a shoot with Tush magazine and we bleached my brows away. I didn't go home like that, we dyed them back. But tape is very much the same thing.
Jenna: But just to be clear: when you say it's about "transformation," you're not talking about specific racial transformation. This wasn't about making you look Asian?
Crystal: Oh, absolutely not. We didn't even think about that on the shoot. I'm the one who suggested it, and it didn't even cross my mind. It's something that I regularly ask makeup artists, you know, if it will bring something more to the character. Offer a different face.
Jenna: But not an Asian face.
Crystal: No.
Jenna: I think part of this is attributable to the difference between the images that fashion produces, and the reality behind them [that] is often very different.
Crystal: Even when I walk down the street, and the makeup's on, and everyone's done their work, I still don't look like that. Because there's incredible light, and things that you wouldn't even think of that go into it. I think that's hard for the public, sometimes they think that what they see is exactly what that girl is. And it's just not.
Jenna: In a way, fashion is too successful. It's too good at convincing people that what they see is, is real.
Crystal: Exactly. And I think part of the reason this controversy happened was because it was for Japanese Vogue. And people saw the taping of the eyes as resembling Japanese women.
Jenna: What do you think about other fashion shoots that have changed girls' races? You have to admit, I think, that people had that impression because blackface shoots have been happening for the past few years, where a magazine will take a white girl, paint her skin brown, and stick an afro wig on her. Karl Lagerfeld shot a video with a bunch of European models, including Freja [Beha Erichsen], and he taped their eyes — but with an express intention of making them appear to be Chinese, because the video was set in Shanghai in the 1920s. Fashion does sort of do this thing fairly frequently where it takes a white girl and tries to make it appear as though she is of a different race.
Crystal: Somebody who does this — picks the white girl, instead of picking the black girl, and then paints the white girl a darker color to make her look black. That person may be a racist. Or they may not.
Jenna: It certainly sends a pretty racist message.
Crystal: Yeah. Do I think we need to use more black girls within the industry? Absolutely, one hundred percent, yes. As the model, as somebody who thrives on the transformation, I am beyond thrilled to do stories where they change my gender, where they take me and make me something completely different....But the reason I am not 100% morally okay with [blackface shoots] — I would feel that I'm taking a job from one of them. I would feel that I'm taking a job from a black girl who deserved it. And who could do it more authentically than I could. I wouldn't want to send the message that I don't think black models should be absolutely everywhere in fashion. I think we should all be included within fashion. Whether it's size, whether it's race; I think that all different types of beauty should be in fashion.
I've gotten to a point where weight doesn't dictate what I'm doing, I just am, and I go with what happens. And that has made me appreciate different kinds of beauty much more than I used to.
Jenna: So, um, what kind of tape do you use? Can you buy it? Do you recommend this as an at-home kind of beauty trick?
Crystal: You know what, the at-home beauty trick I would say would be to braid right above your ears, one on each side, and then tie them back as tight as you can when you can see that your eyes have lifted. That's when you tie the braids together in like a little ponytail. And then you brush the hair over it. Is tape appropriate for walking around the street? Eh! [Laughs] It's gonna show. You don't have a retoucher there who's being thousands of dollars to deal with it. You know what, probably not. The braid is amazing. And it has the same effect. Might cause a headache, take a Tylenol.
Jenna: The braid's gotta hurt.
Crystal: Yeah, the braid hurts. That's why I choose tape. It's easier, less pain, less focus on the pain, and you get the job done.
Jenna: And you don't have to worry about what your eyes and eyebrows are doing.
Crystal: It controls an area that I can't do. I can still lift my brow, I can cause a curve. I can do certain things with my face, to lift certain areas such as under the chin, or knowing which direction for my face with the light. And knowing exactly how I look at every angle. Just like with any job, you have to be professional. When I go on a set, I can glance the light, I can see one shot, and know exactly how things are going to look. And through much effort and practice, I've gotten there. It really is just practice. It's not something that you just do on your first job.
Jenna: And it's just regular office tape?
Crystal: Oh, no, it's not that — they actually call them face tapes. You get it at a beauty supply store, they have them at Ricky's in New York City and that's often where the makeup artists go. I don't know how many models request it on their jobs, but I think makeup artists love that I'm willing.
Jenna: Well. This was fascinating. My eyes were never taped when I, um [modeled].
Crystal: Not ever?
Jenna: I didn't even know that this was a thing.
Crystal: I don't know, though. You kind of have taped eyes without having to tape. You kind of have the eyes that I tape for.
Jenna: That's very sweet of you to say! [Laughs] Well, this was actually really interesting. I would even say...eye-opening.
Crystal: [Laughs] It's funny, because each time I bring out the tape, I say, 'Well who else does it?' And they say so-and-so, and so-and-so. And I'll keep them nameless. But yeah, it's more common than you think.
Disclaimer: I met Crystal a couple years ago, when her book came out. We met when I interviewed her for this site. Since that time, we've become friends; for that reason, I generally do not to write about her, except occasionally when she makes the news and I make mention of it in the daily link roundup I am responsible for. It presents a conflict of interest, and it's not really seemly, or appropriate to our relationship, to write about her — and especially to blog about her, when so much of blogging is opinion. But yesterday, she was adamant that she wanted to talk about it for the record, I think because she felt like she had nothing to lose by explaining herself in this situation. I edited the interview for length, but I don't believe I made any editorial decisions to flatter her. Nonetheless, this disclosure is offered for your consideration. And now I will return to my usual Crystal Renn news-participation blackout.

Out of time constraints (my group can generally only meet for 3-4 hours every other week), as a GM I frequently find myself prematurely "killing" off monsters when it seems clear to me that the players have swung the battle to their advantage. To a certain extent this feels like a cheap move, and terribly obvious. Does this lessen the win for players? Having every enemy surrender or flee seems like it would be just as bad. What sorts of techniques do GMs employ when it just seems like combat has gone on long enough?

Consider other "Combat Outs"
Dave "The Game" Chalker has written pretty extensively on his blog about The Combat Out - alternative endings to combat encounters when the result is a forgone conclusion.
The Combat out is:
His examples:
I use the "summoner dies" pattern all the time. It makes the combat more interesting, especially when your players know you do it - they start to get all tactical about shortening the combat - and you, as DM, have to adapt. For example, make sure your summoner has cover (see My necromancer keeps dying (and can't raise himself)!)
F. Randall Farmer's answer is great. One thing that isn't addressed is the concept of 'prematurely "killing" off monsters'.
Let's take a close look at what this does:
Suggest a Trade
So here is my suggestion: Leave it up to the players. You are basically saying, "This is done, and is just cleanup", why not ask the players if they want to play it out? You could even turn this into a tactical choice: by putting a cost, say "2 healing surges from the group's total number of healing surges", the players get to decide if it is better to expend those healing surges and win instantly for sure, or risk fighting longer and possibly saving, or losing, more.
Either way, make it clear that the entire point of skipping the remaining battle is to get to the more interesting story or tactical elements (depending on your type of players), that by skipping you are trying to optimize the amount of enjoyable content in the session, as well as keep your pacing sane.
I disagree about not letting the enemies surrender/flee. If you do it right, it can be a good way to speed up combat without fiddling the dice. There's two main reasons that players may not want the monsters to surrender: Mechanics and Roleplaying.
Why players want to kill the monsters
Why the monsters surrender/flee
It's also important to explain to your players why the enemies are giving up. If the players think it's a tactical move to attack again later, they'll ruthlessly hunt down and slaughter them. If the foes are clearly terrified or are joyous at being released from the control of the BBEG, it's a lot easier for the PCs to accept. This will save time and make your sessions provide more plot/storyline.
"The goblins turn and run away" and "The goblins fling down their weapons and flee haphazardly, gibbering in terror" convey two very different impressions.
A key thing to note is that killing everything was definitely not the norm in the middle ages - the family/friends of the deceased would not be happy, and the companions of such bloodthirsty fellows would be shocked to see such things. In a fantasy game, suspension of real-world facts that hamper enjoyment is natural, but sometimes this can be useful to bring back.
I'm in much the same situation. I run a bi-weekly game of PF that lasts between 2 and 3 hours. I find that sometimes prematurely ending a long slog combat is necessary, and killing the enemies is usually the best way to do that. Options like fleeing and surrender often interfere with suspension of disbelief and can create more problems. Fleeing can cause a chase scene as the PCs seek to finish off their kill, and surrender can take up hours as the PC's interrogate their prisoner, decide what to do with it, and eventually turn it into a pet ... A story for another time
The trick to killing the enemies off quickly is to dress it up nicely for the players, with narrative. If you say:
the players will be justifiably disappointed. On the other hand if you say:
The point is to still give the players credit for the cleanup, and to make them awesome in their victory. They usually won't complain. It's also important to give them the rewards just as if they had played through killing the enemies. Players will spend hours killing sheep for 2xp...
Our gaming group also runs into fairly consistent time constraints. What we have done, that has pretty much resolved them, is basically doubled damage. We double the number of dice rolled for any attack. So a rogue that would normally be rolling 2d6+ dex +2d6 sneak attack is rolling 4d6 + dex + 4d6 sneak attack. The enemies' damage is doubled in the same way, but healing is NOT. Combat is more brutal, and shorter, but overall depletes the same amount of resources, only in half the time. Using tricksy combat outs is great, occasionally. If this is a consistent problem, you may want to consider this houserule to shorten encounter times and remove the need entirely.
You have some excellent answers on how to "wrap up" combat. I just want to take a step back here: the fundamental problem here is that the monsters are there to provide fun and that is not happening when combat becomes a grind.
I suggest you avoid the grind in the first place.
I highly recommend this classic anti-grind advice from Stalker0 on Enworld.
As a player in a similar circumstance (i.e. my group plays once every week or two for 3-4 hours) we find ourselves in that situation more often than not. I personally do not like the, they run away and we get loot/exp as I think it does lessen the victory. That said, there are definitely things that can be done to speed up game play. Our GM will occasionally have the monster with the most hit points left (assuming it is an intelligent being) try to do some task to bring about the end of the encounter instead of wasting player's time attacking and rolling dice, etc. This might mean he's trying to destroy some equipment or lift a gate or summon a portal or whatever else. This has two advantages. One the players know that targeting him is generally useless so we'll focus fire the remaining guys. Second, we save 10+ attacks worth of time in hit points. Plus turns go quicker as there are less things for the GM to do on his turn and less time is spent on the player's side with strategy. Lastly, he can usually incorporate that monster's action into the story for roleplaying purposes.

I am researching the past five year return for the securities in the top and bottom 10 percentile of the S&P 500 on date 5 years ago. I used Bloomberg to get this data. When I searched for the top 10 percent of stocks based on P/E ratio in the S&P 500 5 years ago, my searched returned 48 stocks. Why was it 48 instead of 50?
This is possible for many reasons; one of which was explained by John. Another reason could be what you used for your P/E multiple. If it was a direct field providing you the ratio, then there is a possibility that a couple of those stocks had a negative EPS that period. Bloomberg (and many similar data vendors) do not calculate a ratio if the denominator is negative. A workaround to this is to have the P/E calculated yourself by looking at Price and EPS individually.

Storm at sea – Flickr pic of the day
This photograph was taken in Kommetjie by our Cape Town. Live it. Love it. Flickr group member Frames-of-Mind.
"A good Atlantic swell rolled into Kommetjie last week and local surfers took to the waves. Long Beach in Kommetjie is a favourite destination for local surfers and surf-photographers alike. The crystal blue waters and incredible backdrop of Chapman's Peak and the Hout Bay mountains make for a stunning location," says the photographer.

For far too long we've been told that Electric Light Orchestra were insufferable '70s cheese, a bloated prog-rock monstrosity that valued production technique over real feeling and hovered near the top of the Reasons Punk Needed to Happen list. Truth is, there was a hell of a power-pop band beneath all those electronic strings and concept-record conceits, and even if Jeff Lynne's bid for Beatledom fell a bit short of that lofty goal, the songs that resulted in the interim -- "Don't Bring Me Down", "Mr. Blue Sky", "Do Ya", "Evil Woman" -- are deservedly iconic. Local cover band E.L.nO -- comprised of members of Accident Clearinghouse, Detroit, Billy Johnson's Roadshow and Manplanet -- might not be entirely straight-faced in their tribute, at least if their gigantic white-dude-afro wigs are any indication, but they embrace the utopian giddiness in their homage along with the Xanadu-scoring silliness. Blue Öyster Cult tribute Agents of Fortune open.

hindenhaag cheers for your help.
I have chosen to stitch first three panoramas and than make out of them a HDR in Photomatix. I'm getting 102 images from camera for one panorama. Doing this other way I would have to first make 34 hdr's and than one panorama. It's seems to be more time and work saving to do this my way, on other way stitching one panorama takes lot's of time with my laptop (it's horribly long time). I will try your work flow.
Are you talking about this hardware? http://www.promotesystems.com/produc...e-Control.html If that's allows take bracketing photos with mirror up through all sequence than it's for sure worth considering buying. Probably there is some more companies doing such devices, can you recommend any? My card is 30 mb/ps, looks like I will need to upgrade this if I buy this remote trigger.

WACO (January 4, 2013)--23-year-old Travis Bigham is continuing to recover two-and-a-half years after being seriously injured in a drunken driving accident in which he was the passenger.
Bigham will turn 24 years old this weekend.
After being in a coma, suffering severe brain injuries and a fractured hip, "Superman" (as his loved ones call him) will be leaving next week for Galveston where he will be spending the next six months at the Transitional Learning Center to receive intensive rehab for brain injury patients.
After a recent swallow study last month, Bigham is finally able to eat very small amounts of mashed potatoes and a few other puréed foods.
Despite his inability to talk, Bigham has been using a blog to share his story and wrote this message in a previous post: "I can do this!!! With the help of my family, the power of God, and my very own determination, will-power, and strength, I WILL do this!!! There is just no other way. Thank you for joining me on this journey. I have always loved Superman. My family tells me I am their Superman. I intend to live up to the title."
"The greatest blessing is the fact that he is so deliberate in wanting to make me smile and laugh with him. I've never in my entire life met someone that defines perseverance and determination like Travis," one family friend said.
A "Benefit Fund for Travis Bigham" has been set up at Extraco Banks on Hewitt Dr. to help with medical expenses.
A birthday celebration and good luck party will be held Sunday at the home of his aunt and uncle, Mindy and Troy, on Wentwood Circle in Hewitt.
The party is come and go from 1 p.m. until 3 p.m. and Superman is the theme.
For more information or directions, call Mindy at (254) 644-3797.

On June 9, 2012 the Dothan Police Department responded to a local hospital where a patient was seeking treatment for an assault shortly before 1:00 a.m. The victim, an adult female, received seven stab wounds during the incident. Investigators were called to the hospital where they learned the victim had been stabbed while at a residence in the 800 block of Wheat Street. According to the victim, she had been involved in an argument with Maurice Horn which escalated into a brief physical fight. Immediately after the physical altercation, the victim walked into the house where she was attacked by Horn who had armed himself with a pocket knife. The victim was treated and released for moderate injuries incurred during the attack. Police returned to the scene of the crime where they collected evidence but were unable to locate the suspect. Several hours later, the suspect was located on Beulah Street. The suspect fled from police and was apprehended by a police canine on East Stough Street. Horn was taken into custody bringing the case to a close.
•Maurice Tyeshon Horn, black male, 31 years of age, of Abbeville, Alabama was arrested and charged with Second Degree Assault with a $ 15,000 bond.
