Follow @ASUG365 for all the latest news from ASUG.
"…With the first pick in the 2012 NBA technology draft, the National Basketball Association selects SAP HANA, from Walldorf, Germany."
That is, of course, a satirical spin on the familiar phrase spoken by NBA Commissioner David Stern during the NBA's annual draft event. But the spirit of it is totally true: SAP announced on Wednesday that the National Basketball Association will be rolling out BusinessObjects software on top of its HANA platform to NBA.com so that fans can slice and dice "virtually unlimited amounts of official NBA statistical information."
"The NBA has so many rabid stats fans," says Michael Gliedman, the NBA's CIO, "and the stats page is one of the most heavily trafficked parts of NBA.com." What the NBA also has is a ton of data: more than 4.5 quadrillion segments of statistical data, at last count.
The analytical information fans will eventually be able to access should be as eye opening as a thunderous Kevin Durant dunk—historical hoops data seen only by the eyes of NBA employees and some media members in the past, Gliedman says. Stat junkies will eventually use SAP's BusinessObjects Explorer to tap into the analytics in real-time via NBA.com and on their smartphone, iPad or desktop.
Stats junkies such as NBA fan Jamie Oswald, for example, a BusinessObjects analyst and ASUG Volunteer, has been disappointed with tracking down historical NBA stats. "I've always been pretty frustrated at how hard it can be to find the information I'm looking for," Oswald writes, via email. "Trying to get [Michael] Jordan's rookie year scoring average compared to his career average can require three to five Google searches, hitting seven to 10 webpages, and not being entirely comfortable that the information you find is accurate."
Gliedman says the NBA had always wanted to make its vast volumes of accumulated basketball data more widely available, and ran a test project last year—giving online access to a hundred or so media people. "The feedback from that was tremendous," he says. "The media who used it were now able to do things [on their own with the data] that had required hand-holding before. Then we said: We need to push this out to the fans."
But the NBA knew it'd need some help with scaling out their system—transitioning from "not just one hundred media people, but to hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of people," Gliedman says. Enter SAP co-CEO Bill McDermott (who's a big basketball fan with some apparent connections to the NBA) and his star rookie: SAP HANA.
It didn't take long for Gliedman to see that HANA needed to be in the NBA's starting line-up: a demo, followed by a successful proof of concept with NBA data demonstrated the obvious conclusion. "Once we saw the tool and loaded [our] data in there and saw what it could do," he says, "there was not much selling to be done."
"Adding More Data, More Quickly Than Before"
Before the demo, the NBA was somewhat familiar with SAP: The NBA uses the Sybase ASE platform as the underpinning of all NBA statistics. Gliedman's responsibility for the league is an accumulation of 250 systems that supports the NBA's operations and "all technology initiatives relating to the collection, cataloging, storage, archiving and retrieval of NBA assets," according to the league.
The NBA's historical data and statistics are critical records that have been maintained with much care—the NBA does "tremendous amount of QC and QA on our statistics," Gliedman says. So the "cleanliness" of the data loaded into HANA won't be a concern. And that will enable the NBA to move even faster in "adding more ancillary data, more quickly than before," Gliedman points out, which will likely include such things as video box scores and connections to social media sites so fans care share their analysis and insights. (The NBA is using SAP Data Services to aid the transition to HANA, as well as BusinessObjects Business Intelligence software in-house.)
Ease of use, though, will be critical for the fans, who can expect this new functionality during the mid-point (somewhere around the All-Star Game, Gliedman says) of the 2012-2013 season.
SAP's Steve Lucas, EVP and general manager of database & technology (and die-hard Denver Nuggets fan, he says), assures that the combination of Explorer and HANA ("super simple easy to use tools" that "sit directly on top of HANA") is going to enable "unprecedented, unparalleled access to the league's historical data" for fans, he says. "This story is all about fan engagement."
ASUG Volunteer Oswald is excited by the prospects of the NBA and HANA deal. "If SAP does nothing but help get all the box-score stats history into a single, easy to search, easy to compare database, then I think they've won," he says. "If they can manage to put some of the advanced stats, then I think they've hit the next level. If they can pass all of that and allow people to predict how different players could work together on a team, given statistical strengths and weaknesses, allowing for player comparisons, and trending performance over time, then I think they'd actually have a shot to change a non-metaphorical game."
The NBA's BusinessObjects HANA project is underway, Gliedman reports, and he appears confident that HANA will be able to deliver. "SAP," he says, "understands that we're trying to build something groundbreaking and unprecedented with our fans."

Let me know what YOU think of it so far. I personally don't like it anymore... but I WILL finish it... :roll:
I haven't ever made this kind of thing before... so I think I did OK for my first time...
EDIT: It's also COMPLETELY my work. I used no reference for the pose, color, or anything. I sketched it on paper to begin with, then uploaded it, and made it a line-art (ruining the quality if you ask me), then colored it. I still have to do the mane.
I like it. I think it looks cool!

Travel to Le Puy
I am travelling to Le Puy from Geneva and would like to arrive by mid afternoon. Trains seem to arrive much later. Any suggestions of the best way to get to Le Puy?
Thank you.
The "mountain"
On the next to last day of the tour-de-France, of 2005, I saw a "House" on top of an "Ice cream cone shaped" mountain. It may be a monestary or a small castle but there was only room for it on top of this pinnacle. Does anyone know what I'm talking about and can give me more information about it. The tour this day ended in Le Puy En Velay so i assume it was in the vicinity if not in the city.
Thanks for any assistance.

After celebrating National Teacher Appreciation Week May 7-11, we need to show appreciation for all teachers across the United States.
Teachers work hard under a myriad of conditions, ranging from overcrowded classrooms to dealing with discipline problems, lack of classroom instructional materials and sometimes difficult parents and non-supportive administrators and supervisors.
Also, teachers strive to help each student reach their full potential, and that is not an easy task. Our teachers deserve the highest respect and need to be treated with the professionalism they deserve. They also need to be paid a fair and livable salary.
Let us salute our teachers every day and thank them for all they do for the students in our country.

We are blessed to be in a time when further experimentation (or accidents)
enable us to push the hardiness barrier for unknowns farther and farther.
There are a lot of neat things (mostly aroids and other versions of
perennials that we have here in the US) coming in from other countries that
simply have to be tested since their hardiness is unknown. But calla
lilies! I never would have thunk it. But I have been hearing reports of
some aroids being a LOT hardier than they were reputed to be, and people
push the barrier all the time!

Martial Arts and Fitness for ALL
Family Owned and Operated
5 Elements MMA and fitness collectively teach martial arts and fitness, and the lessons we teach are too valuable to allow anybody to fall behind. Being fit of body, mind and spirit should be available to all people regardless of age, gender, race, social status, or health and physical ability. That is the purpose of 5 Elements MMA and Fitness. We provide programs that give all people a chance to excel at being who they truly are inside and outside of the gym walls.
5 Elements takes 5 components to create 5 pieces of a whole; each element is unique on its own and works together in conjunction with the other elements to allow a plan to come together. The 5 Elements system is based off of a book called the Book of Five Rings by Musashi Miyamoto, an undefeated Samurai in the 1600s that explained 5 Elements in life using the 5 Elements, and the only way to understand is to read the book and experience the teachings in your own life. Much like in real life, we all have our own unique experience and response to everything around us, and we have found the most fundamental areas that we work on can be broken down into 5 Elements that an individual can work on. Once the individual is ready to move on and learn more those Elements branch off into another set of 5 Elements to work on other areas.

What about, in site.xml, making all top-level links tabs, and the contained links the navigation links? In this way the site can also have more levels of tabs, it just depends on the skin on how to show them. They may even not be represented as tabs in some skins. Tabs came before site.xml, so we didn't know this when creating that file. Maybe now the tiome is right to switch? -- Nicola Ken Barozzi email@example.com - verba volant, scripta manent - (discussions get forgotten, just code remains) ---------------------------------------------------------------------

After the first post which give an overview and explain how set-up a WAMS environment, I continue the discovery of WAMS World (sorry for the pun ). In this post, we will see how we can transform a video from a input format to another format. It's possible to generate multiple output format or to encrypt the video. But we will see it in a next posts.
First of all, we need to understand the different terms we will use in WAMS. In my example, I want to obtain this workflow :
1. create an asset : an asset is an entity which contains all informations on the video (metadata, …)
2. upload a file in blob storage and associate to the asset
3. apply a job on the asset. A job is composed by one or more tasks. A task is an action : eg: encoding with protection. To run the task, we use a MediaProcessor.
4. after the job completed, deliver the video via the Azure CDN.

Fabulous Homesite on the best fishing spots in the state of Idaho. This lot is very secluded & has nearly 1/4 mi of the Big Lost River in Mackay. Now is an opportune time to build & owner is willing to carry. Just minutes to town with Mackay's golf course not far. Views are awesome of the Lost River Range & there are many recreational opportunities nearby, not to mention the small town atmosphere.

Betty, I haven't had ants in the house for a long time. But I have a bed
that is full of them, eggs are apparent when I dig throughout.
Borax is supposed to be the answer. I remember peanut butter and borax, but
someone posted powdered sugar. Put the mixture in a plastic container with a
snap on lid that has a couple of ant size holes near the bottom. It is like a
giant ant trap, similar to the little ones that you can buy at the store. If
you have dogs then you might want to use a heavier container with a screw on
lid, keeping in mind other animals and their safety. N.

A quick take on the latest news in realignment affecting the Big East:
WHAT HAPPENED: Two bits of news came out today that delivered body blows to an already weak Big East conference. This morning, sources within the Big East basketball contingent told ESPN that the Catholic basketball schools may break off into their own league, dissolving the conference they once built. Later in the day, news came out that the Atlantic 10 would be willing to expand to cover the basketball schools interested in leaving. This comes on the heels of Louisville defecting to the ACC, and UConn and Cincinnati very publicly looking for life boats out of the Big East.
» What do you think of the Big East basketball schools possibly leaving?
ANALYSIS: Here are two takes on the news from The Juice Online's Nate Federman and Wesley Cheng.
Federman: An Atlantic 10/Big East marriage would produce excellent basketball
Once the dominoes started falling, this was probably inevitable. As a rationalist, this makes sense to me. As an adult who doesn't remember life before the Big East, this makes me sad and nostalgic. But as a college basketball fan, this makes me excited. Setting aside who's to blame (the Catholic schools then and now) and who the victims are (anyone who has to travel from Tampa to Boise in late November), I'd watch the crap out of a conference that featured the likes of Georgetown, Marquette, Villanova, and on-the-rise programs like Providence and St. John's, especially if they added a few additional basketball-only schools like Butler and/or Xavier. And if they were to join the A-10, it would make for one hell of a conference tournament. The Big East is doomed, but maybe euthanizing the conference is a more humane thing, than forcing people to stomach Providence vs. Tulane "Big Mondays" on ESPN.
» Related: Louisville leaving Big East to join ACC
Cheng: Quality of product still matters even with good geography
This is the first instance in realignment where adding a team for the sake of numbers and a larger media market came back to haunt the conference. In this case, I'm talking about Tulane. The Big East needed to react to losing Louisville, and the New Orleans market opened up another television opportunity. But Tulane was so bad in athletics, that it ended up scaring away the Big East schools. Tulane football had under 3,000 people at a game last year, and the basketball team will drag down the conference RPI significantly (see Depaul). This seemed to be the final straw for the Big East basketball schools. Perhaps this is a harbinger for things to come. Instead of just adding teams for geographical reasons, maybe conferences should also look at the quality of the team they're adding, too.

The Supervillain Archetype Test
Their result for The Supervillain Archetype Test ...
The Megalomaniac
Ambitious, Intelligent, Calculating
The Megalomaniac is the most prestigious of super-villain classes. If anyone is ever going to rule the world, it will probably be you.
Your main goal in life is power and domination, you have the tools to do it, and you know it. Megalomaniacs are intelligent and forceful, and they tend not to let their emotions cloud their judgment. Most of the time. They are usually found, or not found, working at the top of a huge structured organization, though many prefer to work by themselves.
The Megalomaniac has but one flaw, but its an invariably fatal one; arrogance. He knows that he can take over the world, and he isn't afraid to let you know, often elaborately and in great detail. They often do not foresee the fly in their ointment, because they do not want to admit that such a fly could exist.
Sample Megalomaniacs: Dr. Doom, Lex Luthor, Ras al'Ghul, Kang the Conqueror, Emperor Palpatine, Brain
Their Analysis (Vertical line = Average)
They scored 6% on Ambition, higher than 15% of your peers.
They scored 4% on Hatred, higher than 45% of your peers.
They scored 7% on Greed, higher than 29% of your peers.
They scored 12% on Insanity, higher than 91% of your peers.

Real Facebook Likes To Boost SEO
A growing number of online users are increasing the emphasis on their social pages than their site. This is excellent from a customer care and interaction point of view.
Earlier the entire SEO exercise would be to put the best mix of keyword-laden text, mutual links, and creative usage of heading text, a crafty SEO specialist might press a website up in the rankings. But now the focus is on your Facebook page, and you still need to get your brand or business in the top of the rankings.
So if you desire your Facebook page to rank higher in the SERPs (Social Engine results pages), right here are a few ideas that you can make use of to the max.
# 1 Publicize your brand or company name
The names of your Facebook page, custom URL, and customized tabs are of utmost significance. Search engines see these titles in Heading 1, meanings that they're heavily ranked by search engines. Craft the title of your page, tabs, and URL carefully, making certain they contain the name of your brand or business.
If you're the proud owner of Reena's store, but instead opt for "Fashion trendz," Reena's Store isn't going to rank extremely on the SERPs. Your brand or company name is how you're known and how you're discovered, so be consistent when labeling your page, URL, and tabs. And once you have actually named your page or chosen your vanity URL, commit to it.
For Example. Custom url (
www.goodnightchrome.com ) mentions brandname–
# 2 Get links from numerous sources
As is the case with conventional SEO, getting links to your Facebook page and customized tabs is extremely helpful. Hyperlinks are like recommendations. If one good friend suggests you dining at a particular dining establishment, you'll consider it. If a variety of your pals echo that suggestion, you'll be convinced.
If Google sees that your tabs and pages are being connected to by numerous sources, both on and off of Facebook, then your page and tabs must be necessary. But search engines likewise think about where the links are originating from. A link to a custom-made tab on your company page will certainly be weighted much more heavily if it's from a popular, recognized source.
You can consist of links to your Facebook page on your website header and footer to direct traffic.
# 3 Get the most out of the wall and buy real Facebook likes and custom tab material
More of your Facebook page is indexed by search engines than you might realize. For instance, your wall posts are indexed. But given that wall posts lose their significance in time, they aren't given much weight. Still, using your target words and phrases in your wall posts isn't a bad concept.
Your new custom-made tabs you fastidiously produced? Unwind, those are indexed too. And offered quite a bit more weight than wall posts. Keep in mind, well-earned Likes are a considerable ranking factor in any SERP, and structure Suches as is among the easiest and best things you can do for ranking Facebook material.
# 4 Do not hide from Online search engine
Google doesn't "Like" your page. It's a non-fan. So if you have actually got some vital content on your custom tabs concealed behind a fan gate, Google can't see it. And if Google can't see it, it can't be indexed.
While you might be inclined to construct these gates to produce a buzz about your page and drive up your fan count, thoroughly consider whether or not you want your content gated, due to the fact that it might be concealed from search engines.
# 5 Put SEO text in the right place
It may look like common sense, but search engines can't parse images, meanings that they can't inform if there's text inside an image. So don't put your SEO-rich text within an image that you contribute to a new custom welcome tab. It cannot be indexed there. Instead, put that text on the About and Information tabs.
But keep in mind that Facebook is a place for social connection and interaction, so do not overdo with SEO-rich text. Product that isn't social won't hold your fans' attention, and can even trigger abandonment.
# 6 Enhance your multimedia
Videos are the simplest type of multimedia to enhance due to the fact that the titles are greatly weighted. So ensure you're offering your videos excellent titles, both on Facebook and on websites like YouTube and Vimeo. Similarly, the images and logos you make use of on Facebook can be optimized by calling the files appropriately.
# 7 Manage and run your page well
Being a good community supervisor is simply as essential as an SEO campaign. The popular Facebook pages have high engagement due to the fact that those pages embrace the ideology of Facebook: they're interactive, engaging, and functional pages. Facebook, at its core, has to do with connecting with individuals, so don't compromise the interactivity of your page for the sake of SEO.

Russia's President Vladimir Putin says Snowden will have to stop leaking U.S. secrets if he wants to get asylum in Russia, but adds that Snowden has no plan to quit doing so.
What I don't understand is this trickle of information Snowden has. Is there some benefit to not releasing it all at once? My only thought is that it keeps it in the news, but I don't think that's doing any good at this point. Unless he stops giving up info, it looks like he might be screwed. He's a bit of a hot potato that countries seem to be throwing around at this point.

File Extension EMAIL
File extension EMAIL is used by Microsoft Outlook Express and is the format used to store email messages when exported. File extension EML and File extension MSG are also valid extensions for this type of file and generally the files are treated as plain text files although they can also contain macros and email attachments, and as such should be treated with caution. The specific MIME type for these files is message/rfc822. This email message format is a standard and open format and is described at length in RFC 822: Standard for ARPA Internet Text Messages available on-line (from http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc822 for example).
A number of high profile computer worms have used this file type to send copies of themselves across the net via email. This was one of the many methods that the famous W32/Nimda worm used, for example. An infection could be determined by the presence of several EML files spanning multiple folders. These messages took advantage of a vulnerability in the way mail clients display HTML emails via an Internet Explorer control in order to run an attached executable file embedded in the email file itself. If you receive a file with the extension EML or EMAIL you should always run a virus scan on it before opening it.
There are several email clients that can open this type of file, as well as dedicated mail file readers such as MSGViewer Pro from Encryptomatic which can open both MSG and EML files. They can also be viewed in Internet Explorer if the file extension is changed to MHT. Newer versions of Outlook and Outlook Express disable the opening of EML files by default due to the security risks associated with these files, so you may have to tweak the settings to get them to open.

The Agency Costs of Agency Capitalism: Activist Investors and the Revaluation of Governance Rights

ECGI - Law Working Paper No. 197
Columbia Law and Economics Working Paper No. 438
Rock Center for Corporate Governance at Stanford University Working Paper No. 130
Equity ownership in the United States no longer reflects the dispersed share ownership of the canonical Berle-Means firm. Instead, we observe the reconcentration of ownership in the hands of institutional investment intermediaries, which gives rise to what we call "the agency costs of agency capitalism." This ownership change has occurred because of (i) political decisions to privatize the provision of retirement savings and to require funding of such provision and (ii) capital market developments that favor investment intermediaries offering low cost diversified investment vehicles. A new set of agency costs arise because in addition to divergence between the interests of record owners and the firm's managers, there is divergence between the interests of record owners – the institutional investors – and the beneficial owners of those institutional stakes. The business model of key investment intermediaries like mutual funds, which focus on increasing assets under management through superior relative performance, undermines their incentive and competence to engage in active monitoring of portfolio company performance. Such investors will be "rationally reticent" – willing to respond to governance proposals but not to propose them. We posit that shareholder activists should be seen as playing a specialized capital market role of setting up intervention proposals for resolution by institutional investors. The effect is to potentiate institutional investor voice, to increase the value of the vote, and thereby to reduce the agency costs we have identified. We therefore argue against recent proposed regulatory changes that would undercut shareholder activists' economic incentives by making it harder to assemble a meaningful toe-hold position in a potential target.

Employers must become aware of the Guidance, as it not only explains the EEOC's understanding of the law and how it will seek to enforce it, but also attempts to expand the law to provide greatly enhanced protections to pregnant employees.
The Guidance
The Guidance covers the vast expanse of federal workplace laws touching on pregnancy and related conditions, including the Pregnancy Discrimination Act (PDA), the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act (GINA), the Affordable Care Act (ACA), the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), and Executive Order 13152, which prohibits discrimination in federal employment based on parental status. The Guidance is intended to provide a definitive document on the EEOC's position on pregnancy. Its refrain: pregnant employees are entitled to accommodation under both the PDA and the ADA.
The Guidance is composed of four sections addressing the PDA, ADA, other laws, and best practices, respectively. The sections covering the PDA and ADA describe the basic precepts of the laws and their application to pregnancy and related conditions, illustrated through examples. The third section briefly summarizes the other laws in the field, and the final section provides a bullet point list of the steps the EEOC recommends that employers take to comply with the EEOC's construction of the law.
The PDA and ADA sections advance several contentious positions regarding the accommodations required for pregnant individuals and the legal source of these accommodations. Drawing on the PDA's requirement that pregnant individuals be treated the same as others similar in their abilities or inabilities to work, and the EEOC's regulations implementing the ADA, which state that impairments arising from pregnancy may be eligible for accommodation, the Guidance concludes:
The Guidance takes the position that employers that provide health insurance must provide prescription contraceptives in health plans, states when coverage must be provided for fertility treatments unique to women, contends that GINA could be violated by an adverse employment action taken to avoid insurance costs arising from the genetic impairments of the employee's child, explains that lactation must be accommodated by employers, and clarifies what forms of parental leave policy are permissible.
Implications for Employers
The immediate impact of the Guidance will be more aggressive enforcement of the PDA and more ADA/PDA cross-over cases. The courts are likely to give judicial deference to the Guidance, so it will affect the direction of future case law. Several of the Guidance's assertions will substantially change employers' obligations if accepted by courts.
Earlier cases accepted the argument that employees receiving their accommodations under laws other than the PDA are not appropriate comparators for plaintiffs suing under the PDA. The EEOC's Guidance does not agree. Thus, accommodation may be under the PDA so long as accommodation is required for a comparator under the ADA, possibly even where the ADA comparator is merely hypothetical. The Guidance also disagrees with the permissibility of workplace policies that provide special treatment to injuries sustained in the workplace but deny those accommodations to pregnant women. A case that will be decided by the U.S. Supreme Court, Young v. United Parcel Services, Inc., will likely shed further light on these arguments.
While most of the Guidance focuses on expanding the rights of pregnant employees, it also provides employers with a few footholds for proving their compliance. Some of the examples of compliant behavior in the PDA and ADA sections may provide employers with arguments that their decisions are permissible, or at the least should not be the subject of EEOC actions against them. Either way, the Guidance does not carry the formal authority of regulations, so courts are free to reject portions of the Guidance.
Practical Steps to Respond
The EEOC provides a long list of Best Practices for compliance, and employers concerned about compliance should consider following at least some of these. The most important steps are:

Neenah's mayor and police chief tell Action 2 News that three police officers in the Neenah Police Department were placed on administrative leave Sunday morning, a day after a hostage situation led to an officer-involved shooting and a man's death. Mayor Dean Kaufert and Chief Kevin Wilkinson said that's common procedure after an officer-involved shooting.
The Winnebago County District Attorney's Office tells Action 2 News the man arrested for Saturday's hostage situation at Eagle Nation Cycles Neenah is Brian Flatoff. No further details were released on the arrest of the 45-year-old Flatoff or on when he will appear in court.
An attorney identified the man who was shot and died as Michael L. Funk. Attorney Cole White represented Funk in a lawsuit against the city of Neenah.
At 7 p.m. Saturday, Neenah Police Chief Kevin Wilkinson provided an update on the shooting and standoff situation, which began Saturday morning and lasted into the afternoon.
Police were called to the 200 block of Main Street at Eagle Nation Cycles at 8:56 a.m. Within 30 minutes, police learned that hostages inside the building were in immediate danger of being killed. Wilkinson estimated there were more than three, but less than ten hostages. Officers were shot at while attempting to enter the building to rescue the hostages, and one Neenah officer was hit. He was treated at a local hospital and was released a few hours later. Wilkinson said the gunfire struck his ballistic helmet, which ultimately saved his life.
Wilkinson said between 75-80 officers were on the scene.
A short time later, a man exited the building with a gun. Wilkinson said the man did not comply with officers' demands for him to drop the weapon and officers shot him. He later died at ThedaClark Hospital. Wilkinson says it's unclear whether he had been shot inside the business prior to walking out in front of police. Police say the man was not an initial suspect in the incident.
Attorney White said Funk wan an employee of the cycle shop, and had been held hostage.
As for the suspect, the Neenah Police Department's hostage negotiation team spent several hours negotiating with him. The hostages were freed and unharmed. Just after 1 p.m., the suspect surrendered and was taken into custody.
The Wisconsin Department of Justice – Division of Criminal Investigation will continue to investigate the incident, along with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF).
ATF is sending agents from Milwaukee to help with the investigation, which is routine in active shooter incidents, said Martin Siebenaler, a Divisions Operations Officer and acting public information officer with the ATF in St. Paul, Minn.
According to Siebenaler, federal agents will assist with tracing the firearm and a variety of other activities.
While local police are not releasing the names of victims or the suspects at this time, the chief had kind words to say about how the department managed a very serious situation.
"The Neenah police officers who were quickly on scene today are among the most highly-trained officers in the state in handling critical incidents, and I am very proud of the skill and character that our team demonstrated in the face of very difficult and dangerous circumstances. I also want to thank the citizens and our city council for supplying us with the necessary training and equipment to safely handle these kind of life-threatening incidents," said Chief Wilkinson.
Earlier Saturday, police held another press conference.
During the 1:30 p.m. press conference, Wilkinson announced that the scene was now secure.
"I can tell the citizens now that the scene has been made safe," he said.
Earlier, Neenah Police evacuated a number of homes and businesses in the area. Residents who lived within a 1/4 mile radius from Main and Doty Streets were told to shelter in place away from windows, in a basement if possible. The request came in response to the shooting. Police say a man walked into the store and fired a weapon.
Other agencies involved included: The Wisconsin State Patrol, Winnebago and Outagamie County Sheriff's Offices, Neenah Police, Town of Menasha Police, City of Menasha Police, the Fond du Lac Police Department, and the Appleton Police (SWAT Team).

Zoku will be located in the world's biggest and most creative cities, where they will be imbedded in, or near, the cool, interesting neighborhoods everyone's talking about. We'll be within cuddling distance of culture, entertainment, shops, entrepreneurship, start-ups, creative industry, etc. We'll always be easy to reach.
Zoku opened its first location in Amsterdam's city center, spring 2016. Backed by our Dutch private equity partners, Zoku plans a global rollout of hotels that we will run ourselves. As we're an ambitious bunch, we want to open at least five new locations with a total of around 750 Zoku Lofts as soon as possible to start with. Our aim is to create an offline social network of Zoku's. Do you think there should be a Zoku in your city? Do you have a specific building/location in mind? Tip us here!
As the first stage in our plan towards world domination, Zoku is focused on creative European cities (London, Paris, Berlin, Hamburg, Barcelona, Vienna, Copenhagen, etc.) before turning our attention to similar cities around the globe.
Zoku aims to create a global community of like-minded individuals and provide an offline environment in which they can thrive. While creating this network of Zokus around the world, we would love you to be our eyes and ears.
In order to become a global brand, we are constantly looking for the best locations in the best cities. And who better to tell us than the locals living in those cities.
If you submit a potential property that is perfect for Zoku, we believe that this is worth more than just a high-five. For this, we have set up a transparent reward system for everybody who wants the best for Zoku. Please get in touch if you think you could partner with us in possible development opportunities. As Zoku's aspirations of global expansion stretch way beyond European borders, suggestions outside of Europe are also welcome.
Please get in touch with us at: email@example.com
Are you a property owner or do you have a location in mind?
Our rollout details, wishlist & criteria
Zoku re-invents the apartment hotel. Guest-centric design, efficient use of space, and value innovation are Zoku's fundaments and together it's these fundaments what makes us special:
Zoku will establish and operate the hotels with our own team. With our strong focus on social structure and lifestyle, we are creating more relevance – and therefore value. Zoku's experienced development team is ready to evaluate, assess, co-develop and even support the development process. Because of the long-stay nature of the business model, Zoku is able to generate steady cash flows and yield attractive returns for property owners. Ready for some win-win?
At Zoku we are flexible and can work with the following types of projects:
We are open to closing fixed long-term lease contracts (ideally, with a variable component to align interests) or management agreements. We are also open to other options. Whatever the scenario, the hotels will be operated by Zoku's operational team.
Zoku is interested in co-development and/or co-investment and likes to work with local partners. Our team will be intensively involved throughout the development process to ensure that the hotels are delivered in compliance with our brand standards and ready to be wired into the city of choice.
A few essential elements we keep in mind when choosing a location:
The first Zoku is currently being opened in Amsterdam's city center, in the eastern part of the Canal District. The location is only minutes away from Rembrandt Square, Dam Square and Rijksmuseum.
Below are a few examples of our favorite cities that score high in international head offices, startup ecosystems, creative industries, innovation and international residents:
London • Berlin • Paris • Barcelona • Vienna • Hamburg • Copenhagen • Amsterdam (2nd)
Of course, this doesn't mean that other cities aren't on our radar. So please don't hesitate to upload your recommendations.
Amsterdam (2nd) • London • Barcelona • Berlin • Paris • Hamburg • Vienna • Copenhagen • Zurich • Frankfurt • Istanbul • New York • San Francisco • Los Angeles • Chicago • Capetown • New Delhi • Melbourne • Rio de Janeiro • Buenos Aires • Hong Kong • Shanghai • Tokyo
For the actual look and feel of the Loft, please check our gallery or click here. For all developers, investors, property owners or any other interested readers, please find our typical floor layout below.
Zoku is a flexible industrialized concept, allowing the unit to be integrated in buildings of different size. We have several types of units (also referred to as 'Zoku Lofts') with net surfaces of around 25m2. Typically, the Zoku 1 Loft is 5.10m by 5.10m; the Zoku 2 Loft is 3.60m by 7.20m. This means that the minimum grid size is 3.60m. Those sizes are minimum sizes and can be slightly adjusted to the actual building. Both room types have been designed to likely fit existing building structures and dimensions. The combination of two Zoku Loft types (and possible extension thereof) in one building allows for maximum use and minimum footprint.
For requesting further information or clarifications, please e-mail us at email@example.com.

text: Plants now hopes for witnesses in 2010 slaying By Zac Taylor December 18, 2012 CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- In light of a recent decision to absolve one man of accusations that he killed another man on the West Side in 2010, Kanawha County Prosecuting Attorney Mark Plants said Tuesday that he hopes more witnesses would come forward.Plants recently filed a motion asking Kanawha County Circuit Judge Carrie Webster to dismiss David Washington Kinney's murder charges. Kinney, 33, was accused of shooting and killing Jeremy Parsons on Virginia Street West in 2010.Webster granted the motion without prejudice, meaning Kinney could still be charged with the crime if new evidence emerges.The prosecutor said this week that after the judge refused to allow experts to testify about bullet casings that could have connected Kinney to the crime, and refused to allow security video that allegedly placed him at the scene, he had no choice but to ask the judge to dismiss the case. "Without those two pieces of evidence, I have no chance of prosecuting this case," he said. "As of now, there's absolutely nothing I can do."Plants, however, said that there might still be witnesses who would be willing to come forward and implicate Kinney. The witnesses that investigators have talked with so far have been uncooperative, Plants said.If new evidence surfaces, Plants said he could again present the case to a grand jury. Kinney's lawyer, Tim DiPiero, said that Kinney has maintained his innocence from the beginning and DiPiero derided prosecutors for telling media outlets that they still believed he was guilty of the crime."[Dismissing the case] was the right thing to do, as the state never had evidence to convict him," DiPiero said in a news release. "However, some of the comments coming from their office have been disappointing and prompt our response."In March, after State Police lab technicians spent months searching for mislabeled shell casings linked to the case, Webster agreed that the prosecutor's office committed "gross negligence" and refused to allow the state to submit the casings as evidence. Plants appealed the decision, and the state Supreme Court later ruled that prosecutors did not intentionally withhold the casings and said they could be used as evidence, according to previous reports.Webster, however, issued a second sanction that refused to allow an expert to testify about the bullets, essentially hamstringing the state's ability to link them to the Kinney, Plants said.The other key piece of evidence, security footage taken from an AutoZone on Virginia Street, reportedly showed Kinney's and Parsons' cars near each other at the time of the crime, Plants said.The judge would not allow a police officer to authenticate the video, according to Plants."It is what it is," he said. "The state's position is both of these pieces of evidence are absolutely admissible." On July 4, 2010, at about 4:40 p.m., Parsons, driving a green Cadillac, was gunned down at the intersection of Park Avenue and Virginia Street West. He was shot once in the head and twice in the arm, and crashed into a concrete wall across from the West Side Save-A-Lot, according to previous media reports.Parsons was originally from Detroit but had recently moved to the Poca area.Investigators believed Kinney shot Parsons because the two men were feuding over a woman, according to DiPiero.Police never found the 9 mm handgun believed to be the murder weapon. Kinney is an avid gun collector and had magazines from various guns in his home, DiPiero said."They just didn't have much," he said. "Their identification, description didn't match David, [there were] various descriptions of the vehicles involved. Basically they had no scientific evidence. In my opinion, the case never should have been indicted."Reach Zac Taylor at firstname.lastname@example.com or 304-348-5189.

Good story altough every time I think of Chris, I imagine him to look like that kid that went up against Goku in the juniors division tournament in Dragonball GT and by a fluke manage to beat him, but thats just me. Anyway can't wait for you to start the next story.

I see I'm not the only person who likes the idea of Ami and Miari no Trunks as a couple, and I enjoyed your story emensely but GET TO WORK ON THE THIRD ONE, NOW!

I adore this story, and I can't wait for more! I'm sure you're pretty much sick of my reviews, but what can I say...I don't really care. *giggles* update soon! I don't wanna wait until 2005. I want more NOW! I love Ami in this story (and all the time, frankly). You're an awesome author, and the battle scenes are amazing. I'm just waiting for an enemy to figure out that talking about Ami doesn't help them very much. Poor, stupid enemies. Loved it, and can't wait for the conclusion!

This was awesome! I enjoyed every second of it. And FINALLY Ami learns to fly was about time she did. Anywayz, I can't wait for the third fic to start. And that plane of yours sure won't kill you, since you still have the third fic to write. Have fun in Disneyworld!

Just one thing...I may be confusing this story with another but I thought Amy already knew how to fly and it was just the other senshi that didn't.
