Guide to the Internal Revenue Service Decision-Making Process Under Section 501(c)(3) for Journalism and Publishing Non-Profit Organizations
Jeffrey P. Hermes
Berkman Center for Internet & Society
March 1, 2012
Berkman Center Research Publication No. 2012-8
Confusion about the IRS's processes and standards has led to criticism of the IRS as being arbitrary in its decision-making process and adverse to the journalism industry. But while there have been controversial decisions by the IRS in particular cases, it is critical to understand that the IRS's primary duty with respect to these applications is to protect the public fisc by ensuring that only organizations that meet criteria enacted by the United States Congress are granted a Section 501(c)(3) exemption. Although the IRS has some discretion in applying these criteria, it does not have the authority to recognize broad new categories of tax-exempt organizations, such as news outlets.
Until and unless there is action in Congress to facilitate tax exemptions for journalism non-profits, news organizations seeking 501(c)(3) status must learn how to structure their operations to meet the existing standards applied by the IRS. To that end, this guide is intended to provide practical information regarding the standards that the IRS applies in determining whether to grant federal tax-exempt status to a non-profit organization under Section 501(c)(3).

|[Harmony Wiki] Update of "Jitrino OPT/lock method" by Mikhail Fursov
|Thu, 08 May 2008 10:25:25 GMT
Dear Wiki user, You have subscribed to a wiki page or wiki category on "Harmony Wiki" for change notification. The following page has been changed by Mikhail Fursov: http://wiki.apache.org/harmony/Jitrino_OPT/lock_method New page: 'lock_method' action is used to lock the data associated with a method in VM. Due to the fact that the same method can be compiled or recompiled in different threads, JIT uses per-method locks to protect methods data during modifications. Examples of methods data: compiled version of the method, byte-code mapping information, unwind information, GC-map information, inline information. Warning: No Java code must be executed when JIT holds a native lock. This means that the whole compilation can be locked only when lazy resolution mode is used. If you turn lazy resolution mode off, its preferable to move 'lock_method' action to the end of the compilation pipeline and place it before the emitter action. Note that in this configuration parallel compilation of the same method consumes more memory and CPU resources because of multiple versions of IR created.

My mom was watching my almost 3 year old nephew. She was helping him get dressed and told him to make sure he put his underwear on right, so he could reach his binky when he needed to pee. (yes, my mom calls a penis a 'binky.')
He said 'that's not my binky, that's my dude! You suck on a binky. Nobody's gonna suck on my dude.'
Just thought that one was too funny not to share!

The long term goal of our research is to understand and manipulate immune surveillance pathways. The antigen processing mechanisms yields thousands of peptide/MHC class I complexes (pMHC I) on the cell surface as potential ligands for CD8 T cells. Contrary to text book models which often depict the final antigenic peptide being generated in the cytoplasm itself, recent findings have shown that antigen processing continues in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). The protease that trims antigenic precursors in the ER is called ERAAP (or ERAP1), for the ER aminopeptidase associated with antigen processing. In ERAAP-deficient mice, lack of peptide trimming in the ER disrupts the normal peptide repertoire presented by the classical (MHC Ia) and surprisingly, non-classical (MHC Ib) as well: many pMHC I go missing and concomitantly many novel, highly immunogenic pMHC I emerge on the surface of ERAAP-deficient cells. The loss and gain of unique peptides results in vigorous reciprocal immune responses in wild-type versus ERAAP-deficient mice. Here we propose to test the hypothesis that the novel peptides presented in ERAAP-deficient cells are structurally distinct because they represent unedited versions of normally trimmed peptides or those that were destroyed by ERAAP. We will determine the structure and origin of the unique immunogenic peptides by mass spectrometry and T-cell based assays. In addition, because polymorphisms in ERAP1 have been associated with autoimmune diseases (ankylosing spondylitis and psoriasis) we will test the hypothesis that the composition of the peptide repertoire is influenced not only by polymorphic MHC molecules themselves, but also by polymorphisms in ERAAP. We anticipate the results of this proposal to provide a deeper understanding of the antigen processing pathway and how the pathway can be manipulated to regulate immunogenicity.

As I have been merrily ripping my SACD personal collection, downloading DSD files, and creating huge libraries of great DSD music I have been fighting the beta vs VHS thing. Sony and Philips had created two very slightly different DSD containers, one called DSDIFF (aka DIFF or DFF) and one called DSF. The extraction tools (and the onset of various DSD download sites) have basically given us DSD fans a choice. I began ripping in DIFF but later moved to DSF due to the rumor/fact/theory/hope/ that it had slightly better metadata (tags) out of the box. However, since handling DSD has been a very new thing with software players the metadata support for either has been "spotty" at best. And forget about editing these poorly inconsistent tags. The best bet was to edit the proxy files (AIFF) that the Mac players like Pure music and A+ created. It gave one a sense of decent search capabilities within Apple Remote, even though the actual DSD files were still identified only by ugly filenames. Once iIinstalled a DSD-capable Linux MPD the same issue arose...poor tagging support (and no proxy faux tags), although shame on me I only first checked my DIFF files (see below). Note: Our own Jurgen aka Lintweaker, the author of the DSD capability in MPD, has better metadata support coming but not until the MPD gods approve the codes.
Then came plug ins like the SACD plugin for Foobar, and the ones for J River, to name two. I tried the Foobar one (not necessarily for playback but for tagging support) and found that it worked ok...as long as you stayed in Foobar. But Foobar's plug in, as per its co-author, Maxim, converts tags into UTF-16...and MPD does not yet support Unicode. Argh. His recommendation was to try J River as a possible tag solution.
Well, damn!! J River MC 17 is a godsend for the DSF format. It allows very simple yet comprehensive batch tagging, album art support (In J River) and great overall feel. As you can see below the same is not true for DIFF, but who cares!! I'm re-extracting all my DIFF stuff in DSF and not looking back. Furthermore, now that I moved all my DSF over for the MPD server to see (Auraliti's PK90USB) the basic tag support ain't bad at all; I can live with it now. And as long as your album names are recognizable (i.e don't use "DSD" or "SACD" suffixes in the album name) MPD will likely find the album art too. (Again, not for DIFF, only DSF).
Attachment 475
So, I'm going to give a big vote to DSF, and tell those DSD audio fans out there that the Windows-only J River is a very nice editing solution for tags. NOTE: I can't comment on its sonics (users seem to love it), as that is not what this experiment and post is about. I use primarliy Linux MPD, and also some Mac OSX for my music playback.

(Updated at 1:50 p.m.) A group of Columbia Pike civic association leaders are speaking out against what they say is an inadequate plan to enhance bus service along the busy corridor.
The Pike Presidents' Group
sent is sending a letter to Arlington County Board Chair Libby Garvey yesterday, saying that the county is not delivering on its promise to communities along the Pike to "provide services that are equivalent of the abandoned streetcar plan."
The letter was drafted in advance of a presentation by county staff on Arlington's 10-year Transit Development Plan and its plan for a "Premium Transit Network" along the Pike and through Pentagon City and Crystal City.
The county's plan "does not even come close," to providing transit service similar to the original streetcar plan, wrote the chair of the group, Adam Henderson.
"We ask that you uphold to your prior statements and instruct staff to honor the commitment to Pike… to achieve the Pike transit system we have all worked diligently to achieve," said Henderson.
The full letter, which we're now told was a draft and not the final version, is after the jump.

Next month the Arlington County Board will consider the county's final Transit Development Plan, which includes the post-streetcar plans for transit on Columbia Pike.
Just don't hold your breath for the aesthetically-pleasing "streetcar-like" buses mentioned occasionally by streetcar opponents before the project was cancelled.
The Transit Development Plan includes provisions for "premium bus service" along the Pike, but "premium" refers more to the usability and frequency of the bus service than the vehicle itself.
"The premium network would offer bus service that is fast, frequent, reliable and easy to use, with features including simplified bus routes, increased weekday and weekend service, and a new one-seat ride from Skyline to Pentagon City-Crystal City," said a county press release.
The plan does include a series of 23 enhanced bus stops along the Pike, with a price tag north of half a million dollars apiece, providing "near-level boarding, longer platforms, real-time bus arrival information and off-vehicle fare collection."
It will also call for larger, articulated buses on some heavily-used routes, but those will be operated by Metro and won't be put into service until Metro and the county can establish the infrastructure needed for such buses.
"Higher capacity (articulated) buses will be addressed in the 10-year Transit Development Plan," said Marti Reinfeld, Arlington's interim Transit Bureau Chief. "The routes that will need the additional capacity are Metro-operated; therefore, we are coordinating with Metro to include articulated buses in their fleet expansion plan and to address how an articulated fleet will be stored and maintained in Virginia."
(Here's more information on the articulated buses currently in use by Metro.)
"As maintenance and storage details for articulated buses are worked out, we will revise the TDP in an annual update, as needed," said Reinfeld.
"To be clear, no plans for any especially fancy ART buses or anything like that, besides the eventual possibility of articulated buses?" asked ARLnow.com.
"Correct," said a county spokesman.

Arlington County Board Chair Libby Garvey addressed transportation and affordable housing on Columbia Pike at her State of the County address Tuesday morning.
Garvey said the county needs to "fix the transportation" on the Pike, "not that it's too bad now." She referenced the Transit Development Plan for enhanced bus service on Columbia Pike, which the Board is expected to consider at its July meeting.
Garvey noted that there has been continued development along the Columbia Pike corridor. The cancellation of the streetcar project — Garvey led the charge against it — "hasn't affected people as much as some would suggest," she said.
Garvey also said the county needs to "slow down a bit" the pace of affordable housing development along Arlington's western end of Columbia Pike, to avoid an over-concentration of affordable housing in one place.
"It's great what we're doing, but I think we have to be aware that you don't want to concentrate it too much," she said.
That should be welcome news to the Coalition of Arlingtonians for Responsible Development (CARD), a particularly vocal civic group formed last year in opposition to what it views as a clustering of affordable housing on Columbia Pike. The group says it favors a more even geographic distribution of affordable housing throughout Arlington.
Some Developers Are Pessimistic About the Pike — "The mood is not good," Columbia Pike Revitalization Organization chairman John Murphy said of developers. "Some of them made big investments, big bets based on the county saying we're going to do the streetcar. They feel betrayed, they're not happy at all." [Bisnow]

Just over a year ago, the Arlington County Board voted to scuttle the county's controversial streetcar project.
The next day we conducted a poll, asking whether the County Board made the right decision. About 62 percent of 3,280 respondents said yes, while 38 percent said no.
Over the weekend, the Washington Post published an article entitled "How D.C. spent $200 million over a decade on a streetcar you still can't ride." The article details a decade-plus-long string of delays, questionable decisions and cost overruns.
Also published over the weekend on YouTube: "The D.C. Streetcar Song," a re-dubbed clip from the classic Simpsons monorail episode.
Meanwhile, Columbia Pike — for which the streetcar was to provide an enhanced transit experience — continues to be clogged by traffic and long lines of buses at rush hour. The Pike is continuing to develop, albeit slowly.
Given the continued bad news about the crash-prone and long-delayed D.C. streetcar — or a year of reflection on the current state of traffic and development on Columbia Pike — we're wondering whether any Arlington residents have changed their minds.
A year later, do you agree with the decision to cancel Arlington's streetcar project?
Fear not, Columbia Pike residents — a post-streetcar transit plan for the corridor is on track, county officials tell ARLnow.com.
Arlington County is formulating the Pike transit plan as part of its Transit Development Plan (TDP), a state-mandated, ten-year strategy for bus service in the county. The process is expected to conclude by May 2016.
The county will be holding a series of workshops on the TDP starting Tuesday, Oct. 27. Input from the public is "critical to the success of future bus service in Arlington," says the county's TDP webpage, which has the full schedule of all four workshops.
This winter, following months of community outreach, the county expects to release preliminary recommendations for transit service improvements. The county will then gather more community feedback and make more tweaks before the plan is presented to the County Board next spring.
Eric Balliet, a county spokesman, said that officials have already gathered input from 3,300 survey respondents. Via email:
We've made significant progress on preparing the TDP update since the consultant team came on board in July. The consultants have been compiling and analyzing a large array of data to evaluate how existing ART and Metrobus services in the County are performing, including on-time performance, ridership and productivity. The input received from over 3,300 survey respondents, as part of the first phase of TDP outreach conducted this spring, was also reviewed and incorporated into the service assessment.
We are coordinating with our regional partners including Fairfax County, City of Alexandria and the District of Columbia to obtain their input, as well as WMATA staff related to the evaluation of transit services on Columbia Pike and in Pentagon City and Crystal City. We remain on track to prepare the TDP update by May 2016, when it is due to the Virginia Department of Rail and Public Transportation.
Following the streetcar's cancellation last November, residents and business owners who were looking forward to the economic development the streetcar promised to bring to the Pike asked "what's next?" Streetcar opponents said enhanced bus service would take the place of the streetcar and provide many of the same benefits.
"People need to understand that we will get a bus rapid transit system going," County Board member Libby Garvey said on the day the streetcar was cancelled. "It will do everything the streetcar could and more. They're going to be just fine."
Nearly a year later, with little public discussion about transit save an online survey, some have expressed frustration that the Pike is still clogged with the usual buses and traffic, with no viable streetcar alternative in sight. A number of residents have even taken it upon themselves to propose exotic transit solutions, no matter how infeasible.
In May, County Board member John Vihstadt, who helped lead the charge against the streetcar, floated the idea of "Circulator-type buses" on the Pike. That was greeted with a collective groan from the pro-transit crowd at Greater Greater Washington.
"It's sad that in a couple years, Arlington's sense of itself and its national reputation for excellence, innovation, and forward thinking in transportation planning has degraded so much," wrote Richard Layman, in the comments.
Arlington County Board Chair Mary Hynes told the Arlington Chamber of Commerce today that the cancellation of Arlington's streetcar project was the toughest decision she made during 20 years in office — and she's still not sure of the long-term consequences.
Hynes, who's retiring at the end of the year, made the remarks during a question-and-answer session following her "State of the County" address.
"The hardest decision I had to make not just on the County Board but in 20 years of elected office was to discontinue the streetcar," said Hynes, who previously served on the School Board for 12 years.
"The reasons had to do with my belief and care for the community overall," Hynes explained. Given the strong opposition to the streetcar, "I really didn't believe there was enough bandwidth in our community to address these other pressing needs. Everything was being evaluated under this streetcar lens, not on its own merits. I was worried that we were going to miss other things that needed to be attended to if we continued to keep it alive."
Hynes still suggested that the streetcar was a sound plan to improve transportation on Columbia Pike.
"Let me just say for myself personally, if the plan that the Board adopted for Columbia Pike continues to build out, I don't have a whisper of a doubt that bus service will be insufficient in the long run," Hynes said. "But our community wasn't there, our community didn't understand it, and it was just coloring the conversation to an extent where we couldn't move forward."
Hynes said her second-toughest decision was on the 2012 update to the county's sign ordinance. The Board was considering more restrictive measures, including a ban on roofline signs on office buildings that was supported by Walter Tejada and Chris Zimmerman. Ultimately, Hynes sided with Board members Jay Fisette and Libby Garvey, plus county staff and the business community, in arguing that banning such signs would discourage businesses from locating in Arlington.
"I was the swing vote," she recounted. "I thought my job was to find the compromise."
During the speech, Hynes said Arlington is unlikely to experience the rapid economic growth of the early- and mid-aughts again, at least any time soon, due to economic pressures from federal government belt-tightening to regional competition with Fairfax County and the District.
"The reality is that those incredible ups that Arlington experienced will not be coming again," she said.
Hynes encouraged the business community and the next generation of Arlington leaders — she and Tejada are both retiring from the Board at the end of the year — to continue to honor Arlington's values of diversity and inclusiveness, make long-term investments in infrastructure like Metro, and build consensus for decisions through robust community processes involving residents and other stakeholders.
"I challenge each of you to be part of the solution," she said. "I look forward to watching it on TV."
At a forum last night, the candidates for Arlington County Board discussed ways to address the high amount of empty office space in Arlington while discussing how the county can be more attractive for businesses.
The eight candidates — six Democrats and two Independents — discussed transportation, commercial office vacancy and a diverse workforce during a candidate forum held by the Arlington Chamber of Commerce and Rosslyn Business Improvement District.
The empty space largely comes from the shrinking footprint of the federal government, the candidates agreed.
Arlington has to realize that it cannot rely on the federal government as an employer like it once could, Democrat Bruce Wiljanen said. He suggested that the next major business sector may be high technology companies.
"I'm really encouraged by things happening in Crystal City right now," Wiljanen said.
To fill the empty space, Arlington needs to do more to encourage businesses to move and stay here, the candidates said. It needs to be easier to open a business in Arlington, Democrats Andrew Schneider and Christian Dorsey said.
"I had a small business owner that said after a year of starting his business that he didn't have to start — both he and his wife work full-time jobs downtown — that he would have started his business in Falls Church," Schneider said.
Arlington needs to look at its regulatory processes and weed out what is unnecessary and harmful, Dorsey said. Having a business ombudsman is good — the county recently created the position — but it's just the first step.
Dorsey said that the county needs to rethink the way it helps entrepreneurs start and sustain new businesses. The permit processes need to be changed as well, he said.
"These are the things, little as they may seem, that give a community the character of a place where business is welcome and it is a good place to do business," said Dorsey.
Arlington also needs to foster a diverse workforce, candidates said.
Arlington needs to be attractive to both millennials and older workers, Democrat Katie Cristol said. This can be done through affordable housing, she said. Cristol, the youngest candidate in the race, lists affordable housing as one of her top issues.
A commitment to affordable housing is needed, Democrat Peter Fallon said. Arlington has a highly skilled workforce, but in order to keep it, there needs to be housing for Arlington's employees.
With a more diverse workforce comes a need for more diverse businesses. One area Dorsey listed was through grocery stores. If neighborhoods are more diverse there is a need for standard grocery stores like Giant or Safeway but also for ethnic grocery stores, he said.
James Lander also encouraged a focus on millennials in the new workforce. Lander, a Democrat who is the chair of the Arlington School Board, emphasized the need to focus on invest in community amenities, specifically schools. He also said the county should invest more resources into helping small businesses.
"We can't turn our back on investment," Lander said.
The candidates agreed that transportation is one of Arlington's best features, but also one that has area to improve.
"We have great people and we move them well," Cristol said.
The Metro has allowed Arlington to be easily accessible and allowed it to be attractive for businesses. Many of the candidates argued that it is necessary for the County Board to get its seat back on the Washington Metro Area Transit Authority Board. With a seat on the board, County Board members could advocate for more investment in Metro infrastructure.
Congestion on Columbia Pike also needs to be addressed, candidates said. The candidates had different views about the need for the streetcar system that was canceled last year, but all agreed it was time to move forward.
"We need to wake up from our post streetcar hangover," Dorsey said.
Fallon echoed Dorsey in saying that the County Board needs to start planning now for new transit options on Columbia Pike. Such plans need to be reasonable in scope, without requiring too much infrastructure, he said.
Cristol suggested enhanced bus service on Columbia Pike. The buses need to be able to move more fluidly, which could be accomplished with off vehicle payment system and/or doors at both ends, she said.
Wiljanen suggested that a mobile app for the bus may improve service. A real-time location app would help residents know when a bus was coming and, possibly, how many seats were on the bus.
(Updated at 3:10 p.m.) More than five months after the Arlington County Board canceled the Columbia Pike and Crystal City streetcar, the county is still a year away from any alternative plan.
"Transportation is complex," County Manager Barbara Donnellan told the Board yesterday in an update on the area's transit plans. "We really need to move forward in a deliberative way. We want a transit alternative very fast, but we're going to make sure that the community is involved in whatever we do in terms of coming up with an alternative."
Arlington Transportation Director Dennis Leach said the post-streetcar plan for Columbia Pike and Crystal City will likely mean more buses — buses that may be larger and fancier than those currently serving the corridors. While the county did previously study alternatives to streetcar, Leach said those plans need to be updated.
The future of transit in the area will be determined by the results of the county's upcoming Transit Development Plan, to be completed by spring 2016. The TDP will be submitted to the state to make the county's transit projects eligible for funding.
Top on the list of priorities, Leach told the Board, is building a facility for maintenance and storage for whatever buses the county decides to run on along the Pike.
"The facility issue is a really critical issue for Arlington, both for our existing ART service and for expanded service," Leach said. The under-construction ART bus facility on S. Eads Street "does not quite meet the storage need for our fleet that we anticipate having this year. For Northern Virginia, we have some really serious facility challenges. These facilities are really hard to site."
The county is already planning on expanding ART bus service — it's cheaper than the equivalent Metrobus service — and Donnellan has asked the Board for funding to increase service for the ART 41, 42, 43 and 45 lines by this summer.
The county continues to progress on its major Columbia Pike multimodal improvements project, the Columbia Pike transit station project and projects in Crystal City and Pentagon City, but a unified, enhanced transit plan is not coming until next year. In all, county staff says it will spend $200 million in the next on transit improvements to the Columbia Pike and Crystal City corridors over the next six years.
The TDP will encompass countywide transit projects, but Leach said staff's focus will be on the Pike and Crystal City.
Some County Board members used Leach's update on post-streetcar planning to rehash old arguments made by both sides before the streetcar's demise.
"People were told there would be another option that can be built faster and at a fraction of the cost, and it would be bus rapid transit," Board member Walter Tejada said to Leach, referencing streetcar opponents, specifically John Vihstadt and Libby Garvey. "I'm not hearing you say that those are being considered as alternatives right now."
Vihstadt responded by asking Donnellan if any developments had been cancelled or scaled back after the streetcar cancellation, to which Donnellan responded it was too early to tell –"I have not gotten any indication" that development was slowing, she said.
Fisette and Tejada went back and forth asking Leach to explain the federal definition of Bus Rapid Transit. According to the Federal Transit Administration, BRT is defined as 50 percent or more of a line using a dedicated lane during peak traffic periods. Columbia Pike is not feasible for a dedicated lane, but, theoretically, a combined Pike-Pentagon City-Crystal City-Potomac Yard line, using dedicated lanes in Crystal City, could meet the definition of BRT.
"I'm all about providing factual information to the community, not incorrect information that could unintentionally mislead," Tejada said.
Board Chair Mary Hynes and member Jay Fisette — the two members who changed their votes to join Garvey and Vihstadt in cancelling the streetcar last year — admonished both sides for hijacking the discussion.
"The last 45 minutes has been disappointing," Fisette said. "I don't like seeing us devolve into last year's competing facts. It's certainly not appealing. It's best that we, jointly, keep our eyes moving forward."
Garvey, meanwhile, said she wanted to see the transit planning proceed expeditiously.
"Now we have to do a whole countywide process before we can look at the Pike again, and I think that's not the intention," she said. "I understand it all has to go together, it's a good thing… The more I can hear a sense of urgency about moving forward the happier I will be and I think the happier our citizens will be."
Leach responded that county staff has a leg up in the planning process due to the "body of work" already in place. He said a contract is in place for the design of new transit stops — the cheaper successor to the infamous $1 million Columbia Pike "Super Stop" — but construction isn't likely until "early 2016."
Hynes said the study, which will join the community facilities study and Long Bridge Park aquatics center study, also announced yesterday, is important to keep the community reminded of the Board's effort.
"I don't want anyone listening today thinking that we are abandoning Columbia Pike," she said, citing the multimodal improvements and transit station projects and examples. "We need the community to understand that our commitment to those things is deep, is strong, is ongoing and it's funded."

It was a momentous year for Arlington, as demonstrated by the second of our three "Top Stories of 2014" posts.
Perhaps the biggest Arlington story of the year, in terms of local policy significance, came in at No. 6 on our list (which ranks the most-read articles of 2014). The year's only homicide in Arlington County also made this list.
Here are articles Nos. 6-10 on our countdown. (See Nos. 11-20 here.)
10. Eventide Restaurant Closes in Clarendon (16,098 views) — Whenever a restaurant opens or closes in Arlington, it's almost always a big story for us in terms of readership. Restaurants help to give neighborhoods character, serve as a gathering place and are a tangible part of the community. Losing a well-known and well-liked restaurant like Eventide hits home for many people. While this article had more readers, a follow-up article announcing Don Tito, Eventide's successor, received more comments.
9. Westover Deaths the Result of a Murder-Suicide, Police Say (19,553 views) — The sad story of 31-year-old Kristy Flowers, a Westover resident with a promising future, pulled on the heartstrings of many readers earlier this month. Police say Flowers was murdered by her live-in boyfriend, Ray Savoy, Jr., who then turned the gun on himself. They were a seemingly happy couple in photos posted to Facebook just weeks before the shooting, making the shooting ever more senseless.
8. Police Investigating Possible Homicide in Westover (20,191 views) — ARLnow.com was the first to report on the tragic crime that was also the focus of our No. 9 story. It originally came in on the scanner as two people found dead in an apartment. While it wasn't reported as a homicide over the air, we immediately sent a reporter to the scene. We waited for a source to confirm our suspicions before we published our report that police were investigating a possible murder-suicide.
7. Stabbing at Ballston Metro Station (20,508 views) — Any time you have a large number of police and fire department vehicles rush to a Metro station, it's going to get a lot of attention. We reported on this brutal stabbing after receiving numerous tips from readers. A witness report that was retweeted by @unsuckdcmetro also caught our attention: "Someone was just stabbed on inbound platform at Ballston. Blood all over the platform." We were able to get some initial information from Metro, then update the article with more details the next day.
6. Streetcar Project Canceled (23,411 views) — To say that this news was a surprise is an understatement. After many years of planning and a couple years of pitched controversy and political infighting, Arlington's ambitious half-billion-dollar streetcar project was nixed with one somber press conference and a quick vote.
We were told that morning (Nov. 18) that a "significant" announcement regarding the streetcar would be coming at noon. But even Arlington insiders were caught off-guard at the sudden reversal. ARLnow.com editor Scott Brodbeck and Sun Gazette editor Scott McCaffrey took bets on what the announcement would be — and both were wrong. The one person who saw this coming was local Democratic political strategist and blogger Ben Tribbett, who told ARLnow.com that "the streetcar is dead" just hours after the historic re-election of County Board member John Vihstadt.
Arlington TV, the county-run television channel, has released its annual year in review video.
This year's video is titled "Prosperity Through Change." It includes highlights such as the election of County Board member John Vihstadt, the launch of TandemNSI, the completion of the new Courthouse Road/Route 50 interchange, the opening of 400 new affordable housing units, the approval of major school renovations and the redesign of the county website, among other 2014 milestones.
"Through all this growth and change, we've maintained the very best characteristics of a small town," County Board Chair Jay Fisette says in the video. "Our community is strong, diverse, caring and incredibly civic-minded. Together we will build a promising future for the generations of Arlingtonians who will follow us, and we will remain the place that other communities look to for inspiration."
Fisette also talks about the surprise cancellation of the county's streetcar project.
"It was the most difficult decision I've ever had to make," Fisette says. "It was a realization that the support that had existed when these plans were developed was no longer there, to the point where it was immobilizing and distracting our community."

If you need to keep the millisecond accuracy, break down the timestamp into 3 fields: day, time, millisecond, and sort on 3 fields. This way each field has a much smaller number of distinct values and well occupy vastly less memory over time. I don't think there's much overhead in this approach either, because in most cases, the top-level field (day) will provide most of the sorting ability, and Lucene will only need to hit the time & millisecond fields less frequently for comparison. I believe Multisearcher does a merge sort of the 2 (or more) sub- searchers, so there is an overhead in using in versus a single searcher.

|Client/Server machines synchronization
|Fri, 28 Sep 2007 14:58:02 GMT
Dear all, Whenever the system clock of the host running ActiveMQ is a few minutes later than the client machines, the messages sent by the clients generate timeout exceptions. ActiveMQ seems to consider the incoming messages as already expired when they come in. Everything's fine when the clients are later than the server. Is it a configuration issue? Is it related to https://issues.apache.org/activemq/browse/AMQ-1160 ? Thanks in advance Rgds F. Environment Server: ActiveMQ 4.1.0 Client: via Lingo 1.3 Deployment: worldwide, would be very difficult to synchronize all machines -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Client-Server-machines-synchronization-tf4535027s2354.html#a12942158 Sent from the ActiveMQ - Dev mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Posted by ESPN.com's Bill Williamson
The agent for Kansas City running back Larry Johnson said late Sunday night that his client was simply trying to promote his own father and not to discredit Chiefs coach Todd Haley in a Twitter rant Sunday.
Shortly after the Chiefs were drubbed 37-7 at home to San Diego, Johnson posted on his twitter account that his father, the defensive line coach at Penn State, has better credentials than some NFL coaches. Johnson ran down his father's playing résumé. He compared him to Haley, who was a college golf player.
"I talked to Larry about it and he was focusing more on pumping up his father than anything else," agent Peter Schaffer said. "He wasn't trying to downgrade anyone … yes, everyone is frustrated after a loss like this but I wouldn't put too much into it."
Johnson had 49 yards on 16 carries in the Chiefs' defeat. Kansas City is 1-6. It has a bye next week.
UPDATE: The Twitter page referenced above has been made private.

Okay, all you advanced iris breeders,
This seedling has created a conundrum. 05-133-06: Beau Zam X Dresden Dancer. The cross was based on fall form. It doesn't appear that I got the fall form I was looking for.
I was not pleased with a plain white bloom with yellow beard. A nearly identical sibling has already been discarded; that one had no substance, no height, and none of the "pin tucks" around the edges that this one has. I was hoping for more interest in the beard... at least.
But, this one caught my attention before there was a stalk because the foliage is very wide, wide enough to stand out in my shoulder to shoulder seedling beds. Wide enough I took a picture of it and labeled the picture "BEEG foliage". I also noted the PBF, but that's just a notation.
When she bloomed, . o O (she's a bit of a tomboy, but "cleans up nice"), she stood head and shoulders taller than anyone else in the seedling bed, and she stayed erect even through a windstorm that had Total Recall laying down. That, of course, draws attention to the stalk.
So here are a few shots of the stalk. Two stalks, three year clump. One stalk has a pod held high at terminal, the other I broke off for the clean shot. The terminal and lowest branch were double socketed.
Something new I'm trying is measuring the "calibre" of the stalk at the base at the natual break off point, this one is 24/30ths of an inch, (I guess that's really 4/5ths.) Total Recall and Jesse's Song both measured the same 20/30ths or 2/3rds inch.
So the question is... would you save any seedling "just" for the sake of the stalk/ branching?

Britney Spears Negotiating $100 Million Vegas Deal
What a week Britney Spears has had! The entertainer said goodbye to 'The X Factor,' announced that she and fiance Jason Trawick have split and now it looks like she could be signing one of the biggest entertainment deals in Las Vegas history.
Britney has been in negotiations with Caesers Group properties to appear in a 'Celine' type show in Sin City that will reportedly eclipse what the French singer is earning.
Celine Dion is paid $100 million for 70 appearances per year in the extravagant stage production at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace. She did a previous 5-year stint in 'A New Day' before taking time off to have another baby. She hit the jackpot and delivered twins.
Those close to Britney's deal claim that the Spears camp is comfortable that all of their stipulations have been met and there's a pretty good chance she'll soon be scouting out a Vegas pad.
We can't help but wonder if this is part of the reason she and Trawick, a Hollywood agent, have decided to go their separate ways.

Desktop trends in 2013 according to LinuxQuestions
Off the Beat: Bruce Byfield's Blog
Every year, I like to take some time to look at LinuxQuestions' Member Choice Awards for trends. I don't believe the results are representative of all free software users by any means, but they are still one of the few indicators available, and this year they suggest some interesting trends on the desktop:
Some random examples:
- In 2012, MariaDB won less than 9% of the votes, while MySQL was way out ahead with 40%. This year, MariaDB jumped to 36%, while MySQL declined to 23% - a vote of non-confidence if there ever was one. Meanwhile, PostgreSQL remained steady or possibly declined slightly, with 24% in 2012, and 20% in 2013.
- The office suite category saw LibreOffice with 86% and OpenOffice with 10%. These figures are more or less unchanged since last year. Whatever market share OpenOffice might have on other platforms, Linux users are sticking with LibreOffice. They might be downloading OpenOffice to investigate it, but apparently they are not impressed enough to switch.
- Ubuntu edged out Slackware for best distribution, both taking about 24% of the vote. However, in the best desktop environment category, Unity had less than 5% -- about the same as in 2012. Apparently, this group of users appreciates Ubuntu but not Unity.
- Percentages for most desktop environments remained the same in 2013. In particular, if the poll has any accuracy, GNOME appears not to have won back users with its advanced testing or support for extensions.
- The major exception among desktop environments was KDE, which rose from 31% in 2012 to 36% in 2013. This is hardly a stampede, but it is a large enough difference to seem more than a chance variation. If it is a real difference, then KDE is starting to approach its pre-KDE 4.0 popularity again.
- One reason why the increase in KDE voters seems credible is that basic KDE applications are consistently in first or second place in their categories. For example, Dolphin dominated the file managers, and Konsole the terminal emulators. Similarly, among desktop text editors, Kate edged out Gedit (Vim, unsurprisingly, was more popular than both combined). These results go a long way to proving that KDE really is the most popular desktop environment.
- KDE's productivity software did significantly worse than its core applications. Although Amarok finished second to VLC in music players, Konqueror scored only 1% in the browser category, while Krita only managed 3% in graphic applications, compared to GIMP's 70%. Similarly, Calligra Suite squeezed out 4% among office suites, while KDE - Telepathy managed only 4% and Kopete 8% among messaging applications. These rankings probably have little to do with quality, since much of this productivity software is high quality, and Krita in particular is rapidly maturing. Rather, in some cases, the results may indicate a preference to cross-environment applications or else the sheer number of rival applications in some of the categories.
Few of these observations are startling, but they give some confirmation of my own informal observations. However, I admit to being surprised by the lack of change in GNOME's support, and expected KDE's popularity, like most other desktop environments', to have remained much the same as in 2012.
The biggest take-away? Among experienced users, the revolts against desktop environments are over. After a couple of years in which many users were shifting from desktop environment to desktop environment in search of one that pleased them, most seem to have made their choice -- and now seem little inclined to shift again.comments powered by Disqus

Mayhem # 1917025
About MeHi everyone, first of all, let me introduce myself. My name is Richard and I live in the Netherlands in the beautiful city centre of Gorinchem.
I have been away for 6 months due to a tragic situation that happened in my private life but I am trying to get back on my feet slowly and will pick up photography again.
I trust that photography will help me focus again.
Photography is not my main profession, so I will remain doing it in my spare time and will look for models who are interested in shooting with me mostly in the weekends.
I still travel a lot for my professional career, so there may as well be opportunities here, so watch my travel schedule if you are interested.
In the coming period I want to shift my focus to more natural light photography than I maybe did before, as I believe it creates great atmosphere.
So, I will be on MM more frequent and will have to see what the future will bring.
Thanks already,
Travel schedule:
