A Better Block is coming to Akron's North Hill neighborhood but not until next spring.
The innovative concept, which involves making temporary improvements to a city block to show the potential for revitalization, was discussed at Akron Councilman Jim Hurley's ward meeting last week. The meeting drew about 100 people who were intrigued by the idea and had lots of questions.
Jason Sagedy of the Akron Metropolitan Area Transportation Study (AMATS), one of the groups involved in the effort, said a decision was made after the meeting to delay doing the Better Block, which had been planned for October. He said this will give organizers and residents longer to plan the event.
"Not rushing to complete this in October will give us quite a bit more time to work with all of you to brainstorm, connect, plan, engage, and act," Sagedy said in an email this week. "We also think it will help us to learn a lot about what it takes to pull one of these projects off locally, and, consequently, will help us to create other successful Better Blocks throughout the city next year."To read more or comment...
Akron City Council passed a resolution this week supporting the proposed sales tax increase on the Nov. 4 ballot.
Council unanimously approved the resolution after hearing a pitch from Summit County Executive Russ Pry and Sheriff Steve Barry.
Pry told council the tax issue was changed to remove a proposal to use part of the money to fund a downtown arena and to cap the 0.25 percent tax hike at 10 years rather than making it permanent. He said the bulk of the proceeds would go to saftey expenses, including upgrades to the 911 radio system and increased staffing at the Summit County Jail.
If the proposal is defeated, Pry said changes will have to be made at the jail, including closing down part of the facility.To read more or comment...

When Akron Mayor Don Plusquellic referred to the late Ethel Chambers as a "pain in the neck" during Monday's Akron City Council meeting, he meant it in a good way.
Plusquellic was alluding, during a tribute to the community activist, to her tendency to hound him and other city leaders for improvements in her neighborhood or her latest project.
"I wish in this community we had a thousand Ethel Chambers," Plusquellic said of Mrs. Chambers, 89, who died last month. "It's a good pain to have. She helped make this community better."
Council members, who passed a resolution honoring Mrs. Chambers, joined Plusquellic in praising her for her years of service to the community. They also thanked her large family, several whom attended the meeting, for sharing her with the city. Mrs. Chambers faithfully attended Akron council meetings.To read more or comment...

Ohio Gov. John Kasich enjoys a solid lead over Cuyahoga County Executive Ed FitzGerald, his Democratic challenger, but the down-ticket races are more competive, according to a statewide poll by the Bliss Institute of Applied Politics at the University of Akron released this week.
Beacon Journal columnist Steve Hoffman analyzed the poll and found the races for attorney general, secretary of state and auditor may still be up for grabs in the Nov. 5 election, owing largely to a large number of undecided voters.
Some are predicting a second-straight GOP sweep of the statewide offices.
The Bliss Poll showed that turnout will have a big impact on the outcome of the statewide races, with Kasich and the other Republicans helped by a lower turnout. A higher turnout could help the Democrats.To read more or comment...

While it's still unclear who's running for Akron mayor next year, it looks like the Canton mayor's race will be contested.
Canton Treasurer Kim Perez plans to challenge Mayor William Healy II, the Canton Repository reported.
Both are Democrats. Healy has said he will seek another term.
Akron Mayor Don Plusquellic hasn't said yet if he will run again. He faced a Democratic challenge in his last election from Councilman Mike Williams, very similar to the potential Healy/Perez matchup. Plusquellic, already Akron's longest serving mayor, won handily.To read more or comment...

LONDON -- Chocolate sales have hit an all-time high, taking a bite out of global cocoa supplies and driving up confection prices, according to research firm Euromonitor International. The cost of one kilogram (about 2.2 lbs.) of chocolate in the U.S. is expected to spike to a record $12.25 this year, up 45% from 2007, the London-based market researcher reported.
Chocolate sales volume will rise 6.2% to a record $117 billion next year, Euromonitor estimates. Global sales of chocolate confectionery rose 1.4% in 2012 and will grow 2% this year and next, the research firm predicts.
Market analysts anticipate that cocoa bean supplies will fall short of demand this year for the first time since 2010. Dry weather in West Africa, where 70% of cocoa beans are produced, is expected to result in a smaller-than-average harvest.
Additionally, Americans and Europeans are buying more dark chocolate, which often requires more cocoa beans per ounce than milk chocolate. Brazil and other emerging markets are consuming more chocolate, too.
This year, total U.S. chocolate consumption is expected to rise for the first time since 2008, Euromonitor said. It anticipates demand will climb in Western Europe for the fourth straight year.
Dark chocolate will account for 20% of the U.S. market for chocolate, up from 18% in 2008, according to Euromonitor. Switzerland, one of the world's biggest chocolate-consuming nations, saw the share of dark chocolate jump to 30% from 22% over the same period.
U.S. cocoa prices soared to a one-year high last week, and market analysts say a sustained move by money managers into cocoa futures will result in even higher chocolate prices.

LONG BEACH -- Two people died this morning in a crash involving at least four cars on the north and southbound sides of the Long Beach (710) Freeway, in Long Beach, a California Highway Patrol officer said.
The massive accident, reported at about 3 a.m., shut down all lanes, northbound and southbound, on the Long Beach Freeway north of the San Diego (405) Freeway, said California Highway Patrol Officer Cheyenne Quesada.
Traffic was being diverted from both sides at Del Amo Boulevard, Quesada said.
Witnesses reported seeing a woman in one lane and another body on the opposite side, as if they had been ejected from vehicles, he said.
The vehicles were spread between Del Amo Boulevard and Willow Street, Quesada said, which made it difficult to determine whether there were two accidents or just one.
CHP dispatchers reported hearing more vehicles crash as the first reports were called in, he said.

Working with halos
Crystal Space supports three type of halo lights, nova halos, cross halos and flare halos. We deal with novas and cross halos only in this tutorial. The result will be something, like this:
Nova halos are ideal for you, when you want to render star-like lights or suns. You see this kind of halo light on the right side of the screenshot.
Nova halos have the following attributes:
Seed: The size of seed of the halo
Number of spokes: How many spokes are around the seed.
Roundness: The roundness of the halo.
Cross halos have the following attributes:
Cross: How "cross-like" is the light
Intensity: the intensity of the halo
The simple1 example class is a good starting point for us, the Halotest class is just an extension of this class. In our test application first we create a cross and a nova halo. We want to change the properties of the halos (cross, intensity, spokes, etc) runtime. So we need the following variables in the Halotest class:
int seed;
int num_spokes;
float roundness;
float intensity;
float cross;
Let's go to initialize this variables in the constructor:
Halotest::Halotest () {
SetApplicationName ("CrystalSpace.Halotest1"); //some starting value seed=5; num_spokes=50; roundness=0.5f; intensity=5.0f; cross=0.5f;
In the CreateRoom() function, we create the halos:
light = engine->CreateLight(0, csVector3(-3, 3, 0), 10, csColor(0.5, 0.5, 0.5), CS_LIGHT_DYNAMICTYPE_DYNAMIC);
light->CreateCrossHalo(5.0,0.5); ll->Add (light); crosslight=light;
light = engine->CreateLight(0, csVector3(3, 3, 0), 10, csColor(0.5, 0.5, 0.5),CS_LIGHT_DYNAMICTYPE_DYNAMIC); light->CreateNovaHalo(4,100,1.0); novalight=light; ll->Add (light);
Important note, that the type of the lights will be dynamic. Why? When the engie created the halos, we can't change runtime such properties, like number of spokes or roundness. But when we delete the light, and create a new one with the wished properties, we can simulate a runtime changing halo.
The next two function handle this:
void Halotest::CreateCrossHalo() { csRef<iLight> light; iLightList* ll = room->GetLights (); engine->RemoveLight(crosslight); light = engine->CreateLight(0, csVector3(-3, 3, 0), 10, csColor(0.5, 0.5, 0.5), CS_LIGHT_DYNAMICTYPE_DYNAMIC); light->CreateCrossHalo(intensity,cross);
ll->Add (light); crosslight=light;
/* When we regenerate our halos, first we delete the old halo light from the engine Next we create a new halo with the wished properties, and add to the engine.
- /
void Halotest::CreateNovaHalo() { csRef<iLight> light; iLightList* ll = room->GetLights (); engine->RemoveLight(novalight); light = engine->CreateLight(0, csVector3(3, 3, 0), 10, csColor(0.5, 0.5, 0.5), CS_LIGHT_DYNAMICTYPE_DYNAMIC); light->CreateNovaHalo(seed,num_spokes,roundness);
ll->Add (light); novalight=light;
Now we set up some key binding to change the wished properties:
For the cross halo:
a: decrease intensity
s: increase intensity
g: decrease cross
h: increase cross
For the nova halo:
w: decrease seed
e: increase seed
z: decrease spokes
e: increase spokes
1: decreasing roundness
2: decreasing roundness
//here ve step our halo related values. Try different stepping numbers to fine the code. if (code == 'a') { if(intensity>0.1f) { intensity-=0.1f; CreateCrossHalo(); } return true; }
if (code == 's') { intensity+=0.1f; CreateCrossHalo(); return true; }
if (code =='g') { cross-= 0.1f; CreateCrossHalo(); return true; }
//more key handling
So when the user presses a key, we regenereate the halo with the new values.
That's it. Try it. Here is another example shot after various key pressing:
That's it. Enjoy.

Ready Max Eyewear. These are safety glasses with earplugs attached to cords that extend and retract from the temple pieces. When the cords are out the plugs can be used in the normal manner. When the cords are retracted the plugs are pulled tight against the ends of the temple pieces. The goal is to insure that you always have both pieces of safety equipment. The product retails for about $10 and is available in multiple configurations. There's also a version of the plugs that retract into the back of a hardhat.
KP Support . This accessory turns any kneepads you own into a poor man's ProKnee (an expensive brand popular with flooring installers). A polycarbonate and metal piece rests on the wearer's boot, straps to his ankle, and clamps to the bottom edge of the kneepad (which you supply). It supports the kneepad vertically so it can be more loosely strapped than normal. The kneepad won't creep or creep and is just more comfortable to wear.
KP Support . Here's what the KP Support looks like without the pad. It comes in two sizes and is adjustable for height. The product was invented by a welder and Gilroy, Calif. and is made in that town. The inventor is looking for vendors to distribute the product—currently in limited production and available for purchase directly from the maker. The KP Support goes for about $50 a pair.
9 1/4-inch Triton Circ Saw. Triton is best known in this country for a distinctive orange plunge router but it makes more tools than that. Founded in Australia, the company is now owned by UK investors who hope to bring the full product line to the U.S. This is one of several Triton circular saws. The 9 1/4-inch blade seems unusual to us, but it's the standard in Australia, where framing lumber is a full 2 inches thick.
Triton Power Planer. This unusual configuration, a one-handed grip with no handle, will be familiar to those who have seen a 909 brand planer—a model that Tools of the Trade blogger Brian Way swears by. Triton bought the design from 909 (more on them later).
Triton Power Planer. Here's a look at the business end of the tool. It's a corded tool but the cord was cut off to make it easier to display at a tradeshow.
Triton Table Saw. This is a prototype of a saw Triton hopes to import to the U.S. It's a folding stand with a rectangular opening in the top. A saw or a router (attached to a panel) can be dropped into the opening. That you can use the same stand for two tools is kind of cool, but the fence is ridiculous because it needs to be locked separately at the front and back of the table. I'll be surprised if this saw is ever sold in the U.S.
Pulley-Man. This is one of the coolest things I saw at NHS, a drill-powered (you supply the drill) hoist with models capable of lifting 660 or 1,240 pounds. Made in Korea, it is not yet available in the U.S.; the manufacturer is trying to find vendors willing to pick it up. I hope they do because I'd like to have one of these things. The smaller model will sell for about $100. Click here to see a video of the hoist in action.
Arrow Brand Pneumatic Tools. Arrow, the stapler company, is expanding into pneumatic staplers and nail guns. These low cost tools are aimed at people who want something better than no-name guns but can't afford pro brands like Hitachi and Bostitch. There will be a 15-gauge nailer, 18-gauge pinner, 23-gauge pinner, and a T-50 pneumatic stapler. According to the manufacturer they will launch in June 2014.
Mahew Nail Remover. This $49 attachment drives nails out of boards. Shown here on a Husky pneumatic chisel, it can be attached to almost any brand. The nose fits over the fastener and drives it out with multiple blows. It doesn't drive them all the way out—just flush to the back of the board. Unlike the better-known Nail Kicker ($399) this does not drive fasteners all the way out; it drives them flush to the back of the board. It takes a pry bar or hammer to get them the rest of the way out. Click here to see it in action.
Sure Can. This new gas can allows you to dispense fuel without tipping the can. The spout swings down from the bottom and fuel will flow when a valve is pressed on top of the can. This product is currently undergoing testing for CARB compliance. A 2-gallon model will come out this summer and is expected to sell for $28. A 5-gallon model is planned for 2015.
909 20-volt Max Drill/Driver. You've probably never heard of the 909 brand. I hadn't until a carpenter I know mentioned how much he liked a power planer the company no longer makes. Once known for inexpensive blue OEM tools the company appears to be retooling to go upscale (brushless motors, high Ah batteries, etc.). The new models are red and pricier than before. This is a prototype of a 20-volt max brushless drill/driver scheduled for release this summer. Its most distinctive is a pressure sensitive touch switch (more on that in the following slide).
909 12-volt Max Brushless Drill/Driver. This tool has been out for a year but this is the first time I'd seen one in person. Like the tool in the previous slide, this one has a pressure sensitive touch switch; the upper portion is forward and the lower portion reverse. There isn't a separate forward/reverse switch. Unlike standard switches the touch switch doesn't move when you touch it; it senses how hard you are pushing (similar tech to the screen of a smartphone or tablet). The harder you push the faster the motor goes.
Wiha Terminator Bit. This impact driver bit is designed not to break. As with others of its type it is thinner in the middle, which allows it to flex at that location. What's different is that after hardening the entire piece, the manufacturer annealed (slightly softened) the middle section so there is more give there than usual. The red plastic sleeve is there to distinguish the Terminator from Wiha's standard bits. These bits are made in Germany and have been out for about a year.
Super Stackers. This painting accessory has been around for 15 years but was never heavily marketed. It was invented by a GC who saw painters struggling to finish multiple doors in limited space. Sold in pairs, these plastic pieces are temporarily screwed to the tops and bottoms of doors. Once painted, the doors can be stacked to dry. The Super Stackers space them apart and keep them from touching each other. This product is made in Montana and can be purchased directly from the manufacturer ($179 for 10 pairs; $100 for 5 pairs)
Gorilla Self Standing Bags. A trash bag is not really a tool but I had to show these because they are so unusual. Gorilla's Self-Standing Bags just came out. The bottom is more or less flat and has some pleats formed into it. If you open the bag, flatten the bottom, and roll the open edge back over itself correctly the bag will stand on its own. The bag you are seeing is empty; there is no internal support. You don't need me to tell you why this is a cool thing. The bags, though, are expensive—a box of 12 goes for about $13.
M1 Tapes. This brand of tape has been out for several years and is currently distributed by high-end retailers such as Woodcraft Supply. It was developed by a finish carpenter who suffers from dyslexia and has trouble dealing with numbers but is fine dealing with lengths. His solution was to give the tool a very strong lock and put a scribe piece on the bottom of the housing. When the dimension is set he can hook the end of a piece and mark the dimension with the scribe, or use the tape as if it were a tic stick and copy a length from one piece to another. I frequently use tic sticks because it's fast and accurate—and I'm not dyslexic.
M1 Tapes. This is the bottom side of the tape shown in the previous slide. The pointy yellow thing is a stainless steel scribe that aligns with the edge of the case above. If you set the tape to 12 inches there will be 12 inches between the hook and the point of the scribe. The 26' model goes for about $35.
Big Hose Clamp. Okay, so a hose clamp is not a tool. But would you be able to walk by this thing and NOT take a picture?
Pirit Heated Hose. Designed to be left outside and used in cold weather, this hose has three wires extruded into its walls. The wires function as heating elements. At one end they connect to an AC power plug and at the other to a thermostat that cycles on at 45 degrees and off at 50 degrees. The product has been tested to -42 degrees and has received multiple safety approvals—from UL, CSA, and others.
Pirit Heated Hose. This is a section through a Pirit Heated Hose. The wires you see are installed during the extrusion process. The hose was invented 5 or 6 years ago by a man in Vermont to water his wife's horses. Before the invention of this hose they had to carry water in buckets because their regular hoses would freeze.
Pirit Heated Hose Reel. This is a new product—a hose reel with a heated housing to prevent the hose from freezing. The hose itself is not heated and could not be left out for long periods of time in subfreezing weather. The hose into the real is not heated and would have to be protected. Unlike the heated hose, which can be used wherever power is present; this is designed for use at a single location.
Cardboard Man. This cardboard cut-out was at the booth for Bully Tools, a brand of long handled shovels, digging bars, and garden tools made in Steubenville, Ohio. The owner, whose picture Cardboard Man is holding, was making the point that his company's tools are 100% U.S. made. I'm not quite sure whose face that is on Cardboard Man; he reminds me of a villain I once saw in a Bruce Lee (or was it James Bond?) movie.

Angels reliever Sean Burnett was "doing fine," according to manager Mike Scioscia, after leaving camp Monday morning to rest a stiff back.
The Angels' bullpen already took a hit when Ryan Madson was forced to take a break in his throwing program. Madson signed with the Angels as a free agent after missing all of 2012 following Tommy John surgery but has been bothered by a stiff throwing elbow.
Madson projects to close if healthy but seems destined to begin the regular season on the disabled list. He resumed throwing from flat ground Monday but has no timetable to get back on a mound, Scioscia said.
Also ... Angels infielder Efren Navarro might be added to Team Mexico's roster for the World Baseball Classic, general manager Jerry Dipoto said. Navarro spent the 2012 season at Triple-A Salt Lake. ... Pitcher Fernando Cabrera, a non-roster invitee, is contemplating playing for Puerto Rico, Dipoto said, while shortstop Erick Aybar will play for the Dominican Republic.

Toronto, ON (SportsNetwork.com) - Pittsburgh's Sidney Crosby, Anaheim's Ryan Getzlaf and Philadelphia's Claude Giroux have been named finalists for the Ted Lindsay Award, presented annually to the NHL's top performer by the NHL Players' Association.
Crosby, who won this award last season, led the league with 104 points this season, registering at least one point in 60 of the 80 games he played. He scored 36 goals and led the league with 68 assists to capture his second Art Ross Trophy as the NHL's top scorer. The 26-year-old Nova Scotia native also won the Lindsay Award in 2007 and was also a finalist in 2010.
Getzlaf scored a career-high 31 goals and finished second in the NHL with 87 points to help Anaheim post the top record in the Western Conference. He also had a plus-28 rating, and his 14-game point streak was the longest in the NHL since the 2011-12 season. The 28-year-old Saskatchewan native is a finalist for the first time and would become the first Anaheim player to win the award.
Giroux is also a finalist for the first time after finishing third in the scoring race with 86 points. He matched a career best with 28 goals and had a great finish to the season with 79 points in his last 67 games to help the Flyers earn a playoff spot after a disastrous 3-9-0 start. A Flyer hasn't won the NHLPA's honor since Eric Lindros in 1995.
The Lindsay Award, voted on exclusively by the players, was renamed for the Hall of Fame forward who helped establish the NHL Players' Association. It was previously known as the Lester B. Pearson Award from 1970-71 through 2008-09.
This year's winner will be announced June 24 during the NHL's awards ceremony in Las Vegas.

Heidi Klum Saves Son + Nannies from Drowning (Everyone's Okay!)
Heidi Klum's Easter almost turned into a tragedy when her son and two nannies were swept out into the ocean in Hawaii. Heidi to the rescue!
-Lucia Peters
We all know how much Heidi Klum loves her holidays—but her Easter almost took a turn tragic turn.
Heidi spent Easter weekend vacationing in Hawaii on the island of Oahu with her family, including her three kids, eight-year-old Leni, seven-year-old Henry, six-year-old Johan, and three-year-old Lou. While they were all enjoying the sun and surf on Easter Sunday, Henry and two nannies were suddenly swept away in a large riptide. Talk about terrifying!

The 39-year-old model and her bodyguard boyfriend, Martin Kristen, leapt to the rescue, aiding in the trio's rescue and saving them from drowning. Said Heidi to Us Weekly about the incident, "We got pulled into the ocean by a big wave. Of course, as a mother, I was very scared for my child and everyone else in the water." She continued, "Henry is a strong swimmer and was able to swim back to land. We were able to get everyone out safely."
We're glad everyone is safe! It looks like they had a wonderful holiday in spite of the near-disaster; earlier in the day, Heidi Tweeted a picture of colorful Easter eggs dotting the shoreline. Would that we could all spend our Easters in a tropical paradise!

Kentucky and Utah Play to Scoreless Draw in Home Opener
Aug 25, 2013
LEXINGTON, Ky. - The University of Kentucky women's soccer team played to a 0-0 draw in the home opener of the 2013 UK Athletics season on Sunday afternoon after dominating the shots and corners in the match with the Utah Utes.
"Today went very poorly and it simply wasn't good enough," UK head coach Lipsitz said after the match. "We got dominated on 50/50 balls, and we didn't put in the work necessary to play good soccer,"
The Wildcats remain brilliant at home over the last two seasons, as Kentucky moves to 10-1-2 in the last 13 home games played at the UK Soccer Complex. In that span of games, UK has won games over two ranked teams, and played to a draw with No. 6 Texas A&M a season ago.
Kentucky had several chances in the first half, with its best chance coming in the fifth minute when freshman Zoe Swift got in behind the Utes' defense and had a 1v1 opportunity with the keeper from the top of the 18. After a few touches, Swift fired a rifle to the keeper's left paw, and it was saved and hung on to, preventing the goal.
Swift was one of three freshmen who comprised the top line for the Wildcats, as Kentucky started three freshmen up top in the match with Swift joining Laura Connor and Alex Carter in the starting 11.
"Zoe is obviously a very special player," Lipsitz said. "The thing that I like about Zoe, is that as good as she is, she is constantly coming and asking `What can I do better? Can I see film? Can I see this? Can I do that?' She was an amazing second half player for the Wake Forest match. It makes it easy for me to coach because she can be her own critic."
After no team could score in the match after the 90 minutes of regulation, the game moved to overtime, where Kentucky would outshoot the Utes 5-1 in the overtime sessions.
The Wildcats best chance in the extra session came from Kelli Hubly in the 94th minute. Hubly was making a far-side run down the left flank and had a ball played to her from the midfield in stride about 20 yards from goal. Hubly fired the shot, and it sailed high, resulting in a goal kick.
Hubly had another opportunity to punch through in the 103rd minute when she was served a ball in and volleyed it into the arms of Utes' goalkeeper Lindsey Luke, who played it out and cleared the chance.
The Wildcats draw pushed their season record to 0-1-1 on the year, with UK's next opportunity to pick up its first win of the season, coming on Friday night at 5:00 p.m. ET against in-state foe Eastern Kentucky at the UK Soccer Complex.

Samsung Electronics has announced that it is mass producing what it calls the most advanced DDR4 memory for enterprise servers in next-generation data centers.
With the introduction of these high-performance, high-density DDR4 modules, Samsung can better support the need for advanced DDR4 in rapidly expanding, large-scale data centers and other enterprise server applications, the vendor said.
Early market availability of the 4Gb DDR4 devices, which use 20nm-class process technology, will facilitate demand for 16-GB and 32GB memory modules. This compares to conventional DRAM of which 8GB modules using a 30nm-class process technology are still commonplace.
In next-generation enterprise servers, the use of higher speed DRAM raises system level performance and lowers overall power consumption significantly. By adopting DDR4 memory technology early, OEMs can minimize operational costs and maximize performance to provide more favorable returns on investments.
Production of Samsung's 20nm-class 4Gb DDR4 follows the introduction of 50nm-class 2Gb DDR3 in 2008, culminating in a full-fledged transition to DDR4 for large-scale data centers and other enterprise applications in just five years. The 4Gb-based DDR4 has the fastest DRAM data transmission rate of 2,667 megabits per second - a 1.25-fold increase over 20nm-class DDR3, while lowering power consumption by more than 30%, the vendor said.

COMPTON - Two men, including one who reportedly fired at deputies with an assault rifle during a vehicle chase in Compton, were in custody today, authorities said.
Two deputies were on patrol in Lynwood around 5:50 p.m. Tuesday when they heard a weapon being fired nearby, said Deputy Irys Alvarez of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Headquarters Bureau.
"They drove toward the sound and observed a gunshot victim lying on the street. Simultaneously, they saw the suspect vehicle speeding away," Alvarez said.
The two deputies summoned medical help for the man who had been shot and began chasing the suspect vehicle, she said.
"During the pursuit, the suspect in the passenger seat leaned out the car window and began to shoot at the pursuing deputies with an AK-47 type assault rifle," Alvarez said.
The passenger then leapt from the car and ran into the neighborhood and a short time later the car crashed near Santa Fe Avenue and Pine Street in Compton, where the driver was arrested, she said.
The passenger was taken into custody a short time later by deputies who had surrounded the area, Alvarez said, adding that an assault rifle was recovered.
The shooting victim, meanwhile, was hospitalized in stable condition with multiple gunshot wounds, Alvarez said.
"We are relieved that our deputies were not hit by gunfire," said Capt. Mike Parker of the Sheriff's Headquarters Bureau. "We thank them for their bravery and willingness to risk their lives to protect the public."

By Eric Stevick Herald Writer
MARYSVILLE — A Marysville couple whose daughter was killed by a falling ice chunk near the Big Four Ice Caves won't appeal a judge's ruling to dismiss their wrongful death lawsuit against the federal government.
Grace Tam, 11, died July 31, 2010, from internal injuries. She was struck by an "enormous, truck-sized piece of ice" while more than a dozen feet from a cave, according to the lawsuit.
Her parents, John Tam and Tamami Okauchi, let the 60-day appeal period elapse.
"It was never about the money," John Tam said. "We wanted to make it safer."
The ice caves are the most popular hiking attraction in the Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest, drawing thousands of visitors each year, particularly in the late summer. The caves are at the bottom of Big Four Mountain, and form in compressed, melting avalanche debris.
John Tam was preparing to take a family group photo when the ice chunk broke. Grace was sitting on a rock at least 18 feet in front of the caves when she was struck.
The family never went onto the ice or into the caves, Tam said.
A sign warning about the caves' danger was missing from the trail that day. Tam said his family would have kept a greater distance from the snow fields had there been a sign.
A similar warning sign was posted at the parking lot near the start of the trail.
It read: "Danger! The caves are extremely unstable! DO NOT enter or climb on them. On Aug. 2, 1998, one death and a serious injury occurred due to the ice caves collapsing. You have a responsibility for yourself and your loved ones."
A replacement sign had arrived the day before Grace died. Darrington District Forest Service officials told lawyers that the limited number of weekend staff were out working on forest trails and in campgrounds and not available to put up the replacement sign that weekend.
The sign was installed on Aug. 2, 2010, two days after Grace was killed.
Government lawyers argued that no federal law requires the Forest Service to replace safety signs on a certain schedule or where they must be posted.
Judge James Robart ruled in favor of the government's motion to dismiss the case.
Tam was disappointed with the ruling, but insisted that the goal all along was to spare others.
"My wife and I really do not want any money from any lawsuit at all," Tam said. "What we really want is to bring some sense (and) safety to the ice caves for it is an avalanche zone and the U.S. Forest Service knows about this. So why would they invite and continue to invite the public there?"
Tam still visits the base of the mountain to honor his daughter.
"Every time we've been there, we continue to see others wander out to the ice and inside the caves and that just breaks my heart," Tam said.
District ranger Peter Forbes said the Forest Service has been trying to have staff at the ice caves on busy summer weekends as well as maintaining warning signs.
He said he knows some people are going into the caves.
"That's a struggle that we face," he said. "It's just people, for whatever reason, they are just ignorant of the risk."
The Tams also have spent time trying to get improved cell phone coverage to the area. They couldn't get phone service in the mountains the day Grace died. She survived the initial impact but died about an hour later while help was being summoned, court papers said.
The Forest Service is trying to get emergency land-line phone service at Silverton. It would be about six miles from the caves.
"It's still a fair distance," Forbes said. "It's the first place where we can physically put it."
Instead of running up bills in lawyer fees, John Tam said his family will continue to donate money in their daughter's memory. Grace's dream was to open a shelter for mistreated animals.

attributed to Mother Teresa and appears on an engraving on
the home for children in Calcutta, India.
"I especially have enjoyed teaching the Charles Dickens text,"
Chafin said. "Dickens has the most name recognition from his
novels. But his poems are consistent with the focus of his novels.
Dickens is a champion of the weak, the outcast and the
Voice student Anna-Catherine Hook of Louisville, Ky., will sing
Robert Frost's "Stopping By Woods On A Snowy Evening."
"While working on my research, I found more musical settings of
this poem than any other poem I reviewed," Chafin said.
Rather than singing specific poetry written and later set to
music, the Lindsey Wilson Singers will craft their own tone-poems:
"Who Knows Where the Wind Blows," "The Forest," "Lightning" and
"The Storm Is Passing Over."
"Four words form the basis of our interpretation of nature:
wind, forest, lightning and storm," Chafin said.
The Lindsey Wilson choral ensembles will present "The Poets
Sing: Musical Settings of Distinguished Poems" 7 p.m. CT Monday,
Nov. 2, at Columbia Baptist Church. The concert is free and open to
the public. For more information, contact Associate Professor of
Music and Director of Choral Programs Gerald L. Chafin at

Advice needed to get back in the tree
Wanted to say that I missed my very first kill with a bow the other week and having troubles dealing with it. I have been a long time hunter and thought after 2 year of practice thought I would try the bow. Scoped out my location and came up with a game plan. Cut a small lane for identifying then I left a big section of tall weeds as a natural screen. Then I cut a wide section for the kill, followed by another screen of weeds before another small shooting lane. Behind me is a creek with a steep bank, followed by my 23 yards of woods that leads to a bean/corn field. So just as I planned a real nice shooter buck comes out of no where and is in my first cut and looking right at me, I wait for him to get in the screen area and stand up and draw. At this point 30 seconds has gone by and he has his full body into my shooting lane. I give a quick grunt noise to stop him and release the arrow. At this point I cannot believe that my plan has worked as designed, I have spent only 3 hours in the tree total! BUT... I stuck it right in the should bone and barely penetrated. Needless to say the deer is still running and counting it's lucky stars. Everyone keep telling me that it happens to every bow hunter but I cannot help but feel irresponsible for my poor shot. Any advice that can help me get back in the tree?
I feel your pain brother. I have been there before. The only thing i can say about that is a few years ago i was pretty much in the same scenario, wanting to shoot myself in the foot for wounding such a nice deer.. Three weeks after my poor shooting episode my brother-in-law killed the buck i had previously shot with my bow.Had the scar high in his shoulder to prove it. He was chasing a doe, so i assume he was doing ok. The only thing you can do, is hope the deer servives, learn from this, and become a better hunter for it. Good luck and stay after it.Apparently "i'm sorry" and "my bad" mean the same thing, except at a funeral.

Irresponsible would be if you don't feel that way. It is an accomplishment to get any deer with a bow. stick with it. lots of bow hunters will wait for the close leg to be forward to shoot. I don't and it is hard to do that if you have to stop the deer. IMHO the hardest two parts about bow hunting are getting them close which it sounds like you have handled. the other is making the perfict shots on deer like you do on a target. when they are close it is hard to keep from just letting fly. And remember that even pros make bad shots sometimes. heck what happened to you happens with gun hunters too as i am sure you know.

Also I only use slick tricks 1 inch because I know I will get through a shoulder. the doe I took this year was quarted at me hard. I went through the spine of the shoulder then through the shoulder blade its self. not saying tricks are the only head that will do that but that is why I use a smaller cut diameter head. get back out there and give em hell. you will be happy you did.

Hey all .........
Please don't bite my head off if this issue has been previously dealt with.
I am running BT5 through VMware
I have downloaded the drivers for my RTL8187B w/lan adapter.
I am a total Linux Noob and having problems installing my drivers.
Here is a copy of the "ReadMe.txt" Installation instructions:
[ I have added *'s next to stuff I need Simplified. ]
< Installation >
Runing the scripts can finish all operations of building up modules
from the source code and start the nic.
1. Build up the drivers from the source code
* How is this done in BT5? Terminal commands?
2. load the driver module to kernel and start up nic
Note: when "insmod: error inserting 'xxxx.ko': -1 File exists" comes out
after run ./wlan0up, please run ./wlan0down first, then it should
be ok.
< Set wireless lan MIBs >
This driver uses Wireless Extension as an interface allowing you to set
Wireless LAN specific parameters.
Current driver supports "iwlist" to show the device status of nic
iwlist wlan0 [parameters]
parameter explaination [parameters]
----------------------- -------------
Show available chan and freq freq / channel
Show and Scan BSS and IBSS scan[ning]
Show supported bit-rate rate / bit[rate]
Show Power Management mode power
For example:
iwlist wlan0 channel
iwlist wlan0 scan
iwlist wlan0 rate
iwlist wlan0 power
Driver also supports "iwconfig", manipulate driver private ioctls, to set
iwconfig wlan0 [parameters] [val]
parameter explaination [parameters] [val] constraints
----------------------- ------------- ------------------
Connect to AP by address ap [mac_addr]
Set the essid, join (I)BSS essid [essid]
Set operation mode mode {Managed|Ad-hoc}
Set keys and security mode key/enc[ryption] {N|open|restricted|off}
For example:
iwconfig wlan0 ap XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX
iwconfig wlan0 essid "ap_name"
iwconfig wlan0 mode Ad-hoc
iwconfig wlan0 mode essid "name" mode Ad-hoc
iwconfig wlan0 key 0123456789 [2] open
iwconfig wlan0 key off
iwconfig wlan0 key restricted [3] 0123456789
< Getting IP address >
After start up the nic, the network needs to obtain an IP address before
transmit/receive data.
This can be done by setting the static IP via "ifconfig wlan0 IP_ADDRESS"
command, or using DHCP.
If using DHCP, setting steps is as below:
(1)connect to an AP via "iwconfig" settings
iwconfig wlan0 essid [name] or
iwconfig wlan0 ap XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX
(2)run the script which run the dhclient
dhcpcd wlan0
(Some network admins require that you use the
hostname and domainname provided by the DHCP server.
In that case, use
dhcpcd -HD wlan0)
WPA_SUPPLICANT help the network to communicate under the protection of WPAPSK/WPA2PSK
(1)Unpack source code of WPA supplicant:
tar -zxvf wpa_supplicant-0.5.3.tar.gz
cd wpa_supplicant-0.5.3
(2)Create .config file:
cp defconfig .config
(3)Edit .config file, uncomment the following line:
(4)Build WPA supplicant:
If make error for lack of <include/md5.h>, install the openssl lib(two ways):
1. Install the openssl lib from corresponding installation disc:
Fedora Core 2/3/4/5/6/7(openssl-0.9.71x-xx),
Debian 3.1(libssl-dev), Suse 9.3/10.0/10.1(openssl_devl),
Gentoo(dev-libs/openssl), etc.
2. Download the openssl open source package from www.openssl.org, build and install it.
(5)Edit wpa_supplicant.conf to set up SSID and its passphrase.
For example, the following setting in "wpa1.conf" means SSID
to join is "BufAG54_Ch6" and its passphrase is "87654321".
pairwise=CCMP TKIP
group=CCMP TKIP WEP104 WEP40
Note: 1. proto=WPA for WPA, proto=RSN for WPA2.
2. If you want to connect an AP which works under WPA2 mixed mode, you'd better
use Realtek customed wpa_supplicant package.
(6)Execute WPA supplicant (Assume 8187B and related modules had been
./wpa_supplicant -D ipw -c wpa1.conf -i wlan0 &
To the point I am a Windows user and need to be spoon fed by a Linux
Expert who can help simplify my driver installation within BT5
Many Thanks

Shiva and Parvati (Uma-Mahesvara)
Unknown artist, Indian
Shiva and Parvati (Uma-Mahesvara), 10th-11th century
64 x 41 x 25.5 cm (25 3/16 x 16 1/8 x 10 1/16 inches)
Corporation Membership Fund 63.049
The Uma-Mahesvara is a depiction of the great Hindu god Shiva in an affectionate mode. He holds his wife Uma (also called Parvati) on his left knee, and Nandi, the bull that is the deity's 'vehicle,' rests below them. To Nandi's right is Ganesha, the couple's elephant-headed son, and to the left is their other son, Kartikeya. Shiva, the creator and destroyer, is portrayed here in the benign mode in which he grants blessings. Made for a temple exterior, perhaps as part of a frieze, this sculpture was meant to be viewed from the right and below as devotees circled the building. Beautifully fashioned and gracefully sensual, it conveys a sense of the complex sculptural programs of classic Hindu temples in India.

Measure the stair and purchase the railing
The design we chose slightly exceeds the building codes in many regions. We extended the railing beyond both the top and the bottom steps. While this isn't always possible, it allows you to grasp the railing sooner and hold on longer to maintain good balance. Before you go shopping for your rail, measure from the nosing of the top landing to the floor at the bottom of the stairs and add 2 ft. This is the length of rail material you'll need. You'll find code-approved handrail and the other materials you'll need at lumberyards and home centers. Hardwood rails like the oak rail we're using are more expensive. Pine and poplar rails cost less. In addition to the rail, you'll need handrail brackets, a package of two-part, 90-second epoxy, and about 4 ft. of 2x4. Buy enough brackets to install two at the top, one at the bottom and one every 48 in. between the top and the bottom.
Mark the studs and railing height
Start by finding and marking studs. In order to be safe, stair rails must be anchored securely to the wood framing behind the drywall or plaster. Here are a few tips for locating the studs. Start by inspecting the skirt board to see if you can detect a pattern of nails that may indicate studs. Then use a stud finder to verify the locations. Most studs are 16 in. on center, so once you find one, you can try measuring horizontally to locate the next one. When you find a stud, mark it with a strip of masking tape (Photo 1). We used blue tape for photo clarity, but easy-to-remove (low tack) masking tape would be a better choice to avoid damaging the paint or wallpaper. Mark every stud along the stairs plus one beyond the top and bottom risers. You'll decide later which ones to use. Studs aren't always where you want them. If no stud is available at the top, use metal toggle anchors to mount the bracket under the short horizontal section of rail. If the wall ends close to the top or bottom step, you won't be able to extend the rail. Instead simply return it to the wall.
In addition to finding the studs, you have to make marks at the top and bottom of the stairway to indicate the height of the rail above the stairs. To meet building code requirements, the rail should be mounted so that the top is 34 to 38 in. above the front edge of the stair nosings. We chose 36 in. Photo 2 shows how to find this point at the top of the stair. Repeat the process on the bottom step. Later you'll align the top of the rail with these marks and locate the rail brackets (Photo 7). Then you'll use the mark at the top to position the rail before you attach it to the brackets (Photo 7, close-up).
Cut the rail to length and fit the joint
The next step is to cut the rail and glue on the short horizontal section at the top. Since the rail runs parallel to the stairs, you can use the stair noses as a guide for cutting the rail to the right length and figuring the top angle (Photos 3 – 5).
Start by cutting a 45-degree angle on one end of the rail. This cut is for the short return to the wall. Rest the cut end on the floor and mark the top (Photo 3). Cut 16-degree angles on the rail and short horizontal sections. This is an approximate angle. You'll test the fit. Trim the cuts until you get a tight fit (Photos 4 and 5). Don't worry if you lose a little length on the rail. It'll just reduce the distance the rail extends at the bottom, which isn't critical. When you're satisfied with the fit, cut the short horizontal rail section to length with a 45-degree miter on the end. Make it long enough to extend a few inches past the next stud so you can add a handrail bracket under it.
Glue the joint with epoxy
Photo 6: Use epoxy to join the sections
Mix 90-second epoxy for 30 seconds, apply a thin layer to the end of both rail sections, and press and hold the pieces together for one minute until the epoxy starts to set. Carefully remove the protective masking tape after about five minutes. Let the epoxy harden for at least two hours.
The shallow angle makes it difficult to join the short and long rail sections with nails or screws. And dowels or other joining methods require a furniture maker's precision. So instead we'll show you a simple method to join the two with fast-setting epoxy. Cut 2x4s on edge at the same angle as the rail and join them with screws driven at an angle (Photo 6). Then support the rail sections with the 2x4s as you press and hold the joint together. With 90-second epoxy, you'll be able to hand-hold the joint together long enough for the epoxy to grab. Concentrate on keeping the profiles exactly lined up and pressing the rails tight together to eliminate gaps. Then leave the joint undisturbed for at least an hour. Overnight would be better, since the epoxy doesn't approach maximum strength for at least 24 hours.
To protect the wood from epoxy that may ooze out, wrap the rail ends with masking tape (Photo 6). Trim excess tape flush to the cut end with a sharp utility knife. Then carefully remove the tape after the epoxy has set for five minutes. The finished joint will probably require sanding to even up the edges. Do this after the epoxy hardens.
Position the brackets and mount the railing
Photos 7 and 8 show how to mark the underside of the handrail at the stud locations and how to use these marks to align and attach the rail brackets. Position and install two brackets first, one close to the top and one close to the bottom of the rail. Photo 9 shows how to locate the exact center of the studs. This is an important step because the rail brackets must be centered on the stud or one of the two top screws will miss the framing. Shift the bracket slightly if necessary to center it on the stud. If you shift the bracket, make sure to adjust the height to keep the top aligned with the mark (Photo 8). You may have to patch a few nail holes, but this beats having a bracket pull loose. Install the top and bottom brackets first and mount the rail to them (Photo 12). Then add the bracket under the short horizontal section. Finally, sight down the rail and straighten it before adding the intermediate brackets.
Be careful when you drive the screws included with the brackets. The heads will break off easily if you don't predrill pilot holes. If you're driving the screws with a drill, mount the bit in a magnetic bit holder to extend it away from the drill. This will give you more clearance for driving the angled screws.
Add the returns and finish up
With the rail mounted, it's easy to measure for and install the short pieces that return to the wall at the top and bottom of the rail (Photo 13). Measure from the long point of the 45-degree miter on the rail to the wall and add about 1/16 in. for a tight fit. Then cut the returns on your power miter saw. Cut them from longer pieces (at least 12 in.) to avoid getting your fingers too close to the blade. These returns are required by the building code, and for good reason. They eliminate the possibility that loose clothing or a purse strap could get hung up and cause a fall. Besides, they create a nice finished look on the ends of the rail. We attached the returns with wood glue and 4d finish nails, but you could also use the remaining 90-second epoxy. Once the rail is complete, you can take it off to paint or finish it by simply removing the screws from the U-shaped brackets. Since the screw holes are already drilled, it'll be easy to reinstall.

When a parent is in the military, it can be difficult for the entire family. Whether or not you make support payments, receive supports payments or do neither, the Oregon Child Support Program provides a range of free or low-cost services to support Oregon veterans and their families. The following is some important information for all parents who have served or are currently serving in the military.
Making sure that your child has access to your veterans' and other benefits
How veterans benefits may lower your child support payments
How the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act (SCRA) may affect your child support order
Other services offered by the Oregon Child Support Program
Who to Contact
Children of veterans are entitled to certain portion of their parents veterans benefits. However, if the father is a veteran but is not listed on the child's birth certificate, the child may not be able to access the legal and social benefits they are entitled to. If parents were unmarried and the father was deployed when your child was born, your child may not have access to all the rights and benefits to which they are entitled.
Establishing legal paternity will put the father's name on the child's birth certificate and allow the child access to all of their rights and benefits including the father's veterans benefits.
Free services are available to help qualifying parents through the process of establishing paternity for their child contact your local child support office or www.oregonpaternityproject.org for more information.
Veterans' benefits paid directly to your children count as a payment toward your child support obligation. This means a dollar-for-dollar credit toward your current obligation and any past due child support. Applying veteran's benefits can lower the amount of support that you pay out of pocket every month. Contact your case worker to make sure you are taking full advantage of your veterans' benefits.
There is no time limit on receiving this credit. If you believe that you have not been given adequate credit for past support, your child support case worker can help you start a "credit for veteran's benefits process." Credit can be given for lump sum payments.
Note, in order for your children to receive this benefit directly, you must identify them in the application process. Contact your County Veterans Services Officer to make sure that you and your children are receiving all of the available benefits.
The purpose of the SCRA is to postpone or suspend some of the civil obligations of military personnel to allow them to give full attention to their military duties. Such obligations may include:
Establishing a child support order
Modifying a child support order
The collection of past and/or present child support
If you are facing deployment contact your case worker to learn more about how the SCRA may affect your order.
Locating parents: Child Support has a variety of tools to help locate parents in Oregon and other states.
Establishing and modifying child support orders: Child support orders include both cash support and medical support coverage.
Collecting and distributing child support: Over $360 million is collected and distributed every year to ensure that children receive the support they need from both of their parents.
Enforcement: When a parent fails to pay his or her child support, steps will be taken to help single parents receive the support to which they are legally entitled.
