The state's deer population is declining, according to findings provided by both the S.C. Department of Natural Resources (SCDNR) and a local naturalist. That may come as something of a surprise to some Kershaw County residents who say deer have been spotted more and more frequently in residential areas.
One of my favorite poems of all time is William Shakespeare's "That time of year thou may'st in me behold." It's one of Shakespeare's famous sonnets, one I studied in high school, undergraduate and graduate school. I've always loved it because it's not your typical love poem. It begins, "That time of year thou may'st in me behold/When yellow leaves, or none or few, do hang/Upon those boughs which shake against the cold."

A recent festival in Camden provided the mayor with the chance to recognize an arts organization. That organization, in turn, recognized a local patron of the arts.
Lugoff-Elgin Middle School (L-EMS) Principal Karen Bullard is the Kershaw County School District's (KCSD) Principal of the Year. A panel of school and district administrators voted to select her for the honor. Bullard began serving as L-EMS' principal in 2010 after serving as Camden High School's assistant principal. She and her husband are originally from Whiteville, N.C., and have two college-age daughters.
Members of Kershaw County Council attended the Kershaw County Board of School Trustees meeting Tuesday evening to hear a presentation on a possible joint economic development campus here.

This weekend I'm going to a bachelorette party. Actually, it's a combined bachelor/bachelorette party where both the bride and groom-to-be and their closest friends will be in attendance. I'm looking forward to it, but there's always a little bit of anxiety before taking part in an event such as that. I'm sure that's partly due to the Hangover movies and partly due to my own experiences in the past with bachelorette parties.
Earl Suttle, an author and motivational speaker with Leadership Success International, shared various ways leaders can improve the overall atmosphere in their workplace during a mentoring training/workshop hosted by the United Way of Kershaw County (UWKC) on Monday. Suttle's topic, "Enjoying Excellence: Becoming the greatest you can be," focused on creating "happiness in the workplace." He explained that a happier atmosphere provides employees with more energy and focus to complete their jobs. The training/workshop took place at the historic Robert Mills Courthouse.

I recently read an article online about ways to get your wardrobe ready for spring and the one thing it encouraged, above everything else, was organization. It suggested that the time between the end of winter and the beginning of spring was a very important time to evaluate what you need and what you don't when it comes to clothing.

Regardless of what type of data you're working with or what kind of application you're creating, you will undoubtedly need to work with strings. No matter how the data is stored, the end user always deals in human-readable text. As such, knowing how to work with strings is part of the essential knowledge that any .NET developer needs to make rich and compelling applications. In addition to showing you how to work with strings in the .NET Framework, this chapter will also introduce you to regular expressions. Also, Jeff Cogswell explains how to use regular expressions to simplify and enhance the power of your programmatic string searching, matching, and replacing.

1. Re: Tutorial on how to use POP-SHMally Jun 14, 2011 7:57 AM (in response to ally)
...a more basic question:
Is there any way to run my shared memory application, which uses fork to create processes, and shmget etc. to create shared memory between processes, directly on SCC?
Ideally I would just recompile this application and try running it across all of the SCC cores. I get the impression this isn't possible, but thought it would be worth double-checking!

I would suggest you start by looking at the main.c file in the small project you downloaded (popshm-20110126 tarball). It will compile into an excecutable called 'test', since it is basically a test used during POP-SHM implementation. What is of most interest for development, is the different outputs that give you the internal state of the library, and the memcpy interface.
To my knowledge, the only "real" use of this library so far is in RCKMPI.
You can use POP-SHM as a stand-alone solution. However, due to the higher latencies of the off chip memory, it may be desirable to use RCCE or the test and set registers for synchronization (you are also free to develop your own protocol as is the case in RCKMPI).
After you look at and build the main.c file from that tarball, I can help you with any questions regarding that file of the use in RCKMPI.

If you are using RCCE with POP-SHM, please be careful not to use the RCCE shared memory calls. They have hijacking knowledge embedded in them. I think, however, that, as Isaias explained, you can use a RCCE built with SHMADD or SHMADD_CACHEABLE. I had cautioned against that previously but after reading Isaias's post, I think now it is OK. The LUT mapping that occurs when RCCE is built that way should not affect how POP-SHM operates. I think a RCCE interface to POP-SHM is desirable, but does not yet exist ... you still can use RCCE with POP-SHM.
The popshm tar file on our SVN is not an implementation of POP-SHM but rather a simple example of using it ... a place to start. You should ensure that you load a Linux with POP-SHM enabled. You can check by logging onto a core and issuing cat /proc/meminfo |grep POP and you should see
POPSHM pages: 1
POPSHM page size: 16384 kB
POPSHM buffer size: 16384 kB
POPSHM base address: 0x10000000
This example shows one default POPSHM page. This default value comes from the binary file commandline.bin which is used when you build SCC Linux. Here is how that file looks when you look at it with bvi. You can change the value of popshmpages to 2 or 3. I don't think 4 is currently supported, but Isaias would know for sure. Note that this is the default value .... you can change the value dynamically with a POPSHM call as described in the POPSHM docs.

5. Re: Tutorial on how to use POP-SHMally Jun 20, 2011 9:16 AM (in response to compres)
Dear Isaías
I understand that to use POPSHM I need to boot a patched Linux on the SCC cores.
However, I cannot get this to work. I have checked out the MARC repository, and would like to boot "linux_dcm_02_23_11.obj" which is under "trunk/CustomSCCLinux" (please let me know if that's not the right version to be booting)
I have tried:
sccBoot -l 0..7 -g ~/marcrepository/trunk/CustomSCCLinux/linux_dcm_02_23_11.obj
but this gives an error:
ERROR: Please don't mix -l, -s and -g options... Aborting!
(I posted a separate discussion about this, as it appears to be a more genearl issue to do with sccBoot)
I then tried just to use -g:
sccBoot -g /home/ally/marcrepository/trunk/CustomSCCLinux/linux_dcm_02_23_11.obj
(the long path is exactly where this .obj file is on my system)
This leads to the following:
WARNING: Please provide valid obj-path (given path doesn't contain memory image)
Am I doing something wrong, or could it be that the .obj file in the repository is invalid?
Many thanks for any help

Hi Ted
It looks like I'm using sccKit 1.3.0 - when I try the command you recommended I get:
INFO: Welcome to sccBoot 1.3.0 (build date Aug 25 2010 - 15:55:06)
I'll look at installing sccKit 1.4.0. Do you know offhand if I can do this without root access to my datacenter?
8. Re: Tutorial on how to use POP-SHMally Jun 22, 2011 3:49 AM (in response to tedk)
It seems that to upgrade to 1.4.0 I need root access to my datacenter, which I don't have. Can you advise me as to whether that's correct? If so, is it essental to use 1.4.0?
9. Re: Tutorial on how to use POP-SHMtedk Jun 22, 2011 10:24 AM (in response to ally)
Yes, you need to be root to install 1.4.0. If you are using a Data Center system, we can do that for you.
We've been requiring approval from the PI for this. Why? 1.4.0 affects performance ... in a positive way. So if you are doing a series of performance runs, you don't want to change your baseline midstream.
Installation takes anywhere from 30 minutes to a day. It seems to depend on the quality of the hw eMAC ports. Majority of installations take about an hour and we schedule two hours unless it's one of the unfortunate cases.
It's more than software. If we enable one eMAC port we add another ethernet cable, two cables if we enable two ports.
I think the most efficient way to proceed is to create a Bugzilla under "Marc Administration Needed." And your PI (are you the PI?) sould send mail to SCC Research Proposals (but right now my email cannot even expand that folder; it used to be able to). If the PI could make a comment on the Bugzilla entry, we can forward it to the right place.
Is it essential to use 1.4.0 with POPSHM? I don't think so, but I've always used it with 1.4.0. We don't really have any remaining 1.3.0 internal systems to work with. Note also that 1.4.1 is about two weeks away. The sccGui for 1.4.1 has a POPSHM dropdown menu.
It's possible to run 1.4.0 without eMAC. Some users do, although honestly I think you should take advantage of the eMAC performance improvement.
10. Re: Tutorial on how to use POP-SHMally Jun 22, 2011 12:27 PM (in response to tedk)
Hey Ted
Thanks for the info about 1.4.0. I am the PI, but anyway as you'll have seen from our private emails, Augie is going to do the 1.4.0 install for me today.
11. Re: Tutorial on how to use POP-SHMally Jun 23, 2011 3:45 PM (in response to tedk)
Thanks to your help I have managed to get POP-SHM working for a simple program running on one core.
I now wish to move on to a multicore application, where I will synchronise between cores.
If I understand correctly what you have written above, is it right that the best thing is to write a non RCCE application, but to call into RCCE to do synchronization?
12. Re: Tutorial on how to use POP-SHMally Jun 23, 2011 4:00 PM (in response to ally)
Having looked a bit at RCCE, what I am planning is this:
Use RCCE to launch a bunch of executions on multiple cores, have the cores allocate some flags via the RCCE api, and then hit a barrier to make sure all flags are allocated.
From there on, I will not use RCCE at all, except to write to and read from flags. Am I correct that flag operations are atomic?
At the end of the application, the cores will hit a barrier and then free all the flags.
Does this sound along the right lines?
13. Re: Tutorial on how to use POP-SHMtedk Jun 23, 2011 4:24 PM (in response to ally)
You're breaking new ground here. Which is good.
Writing a RCCE application to do POPSHM is just fine. What I was trying to say was that the RCCE-specific shared memory calls use memory hijacking. Like RCCE_shmalloc(), etc. So I don't think you should use those when doing POPSHM. But the POPSHM calls should work.
What we'd like to do is rewrite the RCCE shared memory calls to know about POPSHM instead of memory hijacking. Hijacking was a hack that we used before POPSHM was available. We want to "unhackify" RCCE.
But no one has had the time to do that yet. We want to. If you want to become a RCCE contributor, the opportunity is here! Note that RCCE_init() modifies the LUT for memory hijacking. That modification should not affect POPSHM.
I'm not clear about what you mean by "not using RCCE." RCCE applications (they are linked with the RCCE library and have a RCCE_APP() call) are loaded through rccerun. Non-RCCE applications are loaded with pssh. rccerun is a script around pssh. It does some extra stuff ... like initialize the MPB, etc. If I were trying out POPSHM with the current RCCE I would write a RCCE application and be careful not to use the RCCE memory hijacking feature.
Then, I'd want the RCCE shared memory facility to use POPSHM when I got serious.
BTW, the best RCCE to use is from the trunk, not the tag. The only reason we haven't tagged a new RCCE release is because the emulator in the trunk is broken. The emulator was very useful when we did not have hardware but has since fallen behind in rev. Work focused on RCCE running on hardware. Some people still say the emualtor is useful ... it's easier to use a debugger with it, for example.
14. Re: Tutorial on how to use POP-SHMally Jun 24, 2011 11:16 AM (in response to tedk)
Hi Ted
Regarding becoming an RCCE contributor - perhaps! I'll see how I go first with the application I'd like acclerate :-)
I'm having trouble combining RCCE and POP-SHM due to duplicate symbols.
I wrote a very simple POP-SHM program for one core, which allocates locally arrays of 1024 integers, A and B, fills up array A with some data, then copies it to B via shared memory, and checks that B has the same data. So, essentially, I simulate:
memcpy(B, A, 1024*sizeof(int));
popshm_memcpy_put(0, A, 1024*sizeof(int));
popshm_memcpy_get(B, 0, 1024*sizeof(int));
This works just fine.
Now I am trying to do the following:
ME = RCC_ue();
if(0 == ME)
// My original program, using POP-SHM
In other words, as an initial sanity check, I just want to make sure I can use a load of cores with RCCE, and have just one of them (the one with ue == 0) run my original program. After this, I plan to try out inter-core synchroniztion using the RCCE API, and then eventually get on to the application I really care about.
The problem I am having is as follows. For my original program, just with POP-SHM, I found I had to link to both popshm.o and scc_api.o, which I compiled from popshm-20110126.tar. This was fine. Now, when I use RCCE as well, I clearly need to link in the RCCE libary - I'm doing this by linking to libRCCE_bigflags_nongory_nopwrmgmt.a, which I also compiled (and which works for the PINGPONG example in rcce/apps).
It seems that libRCCE_bigflags_nongory_nopwrmgmt.a and scc_api.o include a lot of common symbols, so I get linker errors:
/home/ally/marcrepository/trunk/rcce/bin/SCC_LINUX/libRCCE_bigflags_nongory_nopwrmgmt.a(SCC_API.o)(.text+0x0): In function `InitAPI':
: multiple definition of `InitAPI'
../popshm-20110126/scc_api.o(.text+0x0): first defined here
ld: Warning: size of symbol `InitAPI' changed from 159 in ../popshm-20110126/scc_api.o to 120 in /home/ally/marcrepository/trunk/rcce/bin/SCC_LINUX/libRCCE_bigflags_nongory_nopwrmgmt.a(SCC_API.o)
(and lots more similar ones)
Can you advise on this? E.g., could I just remove some of the implemenations of these functions from SCC_api.c? I hesitate to do so because the symbols have different sizes, as indicated in the above warning.
I attach the C file for my example program, for reference.

Valued at 2mil?
The radio broadcast says the diamonds were valued at 2 million. thats all fine and dandy until you start to realize, tony was told he was buying them at a 10% discount, and when your talking about millions, thats a big discount, so why didn't the broadcast say something like 2.2 million or the like?
Possible reasons:
- Tony was ripped off and actually bought them at full market value
- Someone (Tony, Evan, etc) took one or two of the diamonds
- Rockstar forgot the discount on the diamonds which they pointed out in the same episode (oops!)
Is The Homeless Man Scene Also In GTA:IV?
I'm sure i remember also seeing the scene with the homeless man finding the Diamonds in the garbage on GTA:IV, it was in one of those little side missions where theres a figure on the map. Am I right or am i imagining things?

Doesn't this diamond storyline sound very similar to guy ritchie's british gangster film Snatch In both stories A large bunch of characters get into contact with some Diamonds. it follows similar plotlines where many people come into contact with the diamond and either lose them or fight over them. it's very complicated but the diamonds are stolen by a thief GTA: The Chef SNATCH: Benecio Del Toro. the chase and the killing ends with a Large Screw Up happens GTA IV: A selfish gangster throws the diamonds onto a Bintruck and SNATCH: A dog eats the diamonds by mistake. these diamonds are eventually found by a poor character by chance and they become the new owner. GTA: Jerry Kapowitz SNATCH: Jason Staham and his best mate. does this sound familiar. to understand this comment you must watch Snatch and you will be able to understand the similarities. what do you think.Andrew nicholson 16:58, July 26, 2010 (UTC)

Published November 20, 2014
Defense Secretary Leon Panetta cautioned Wednesday against reaching early conclusions about the veracity of allegations against the top U.S. commander in Afghanistan, Gen. John Allen, who is under investigation for what Pentagon officials have said may be "inappropriate" correspondence with a Florida woman linked to the David Petraeus sex scandal.
At a news conference in Australia's Indian Ocean coastal city of Perth, Panetta sought to tamp down a wave of speculation about the nature of Allen's actions, which have added a new dimension to the Petraeus matter.
"No one should leap to any conclusions here," Panetta said in his first public comments on the matter when a reporter asked what Allen might have done wrong. Panetta declined to characterize Allen's actions in any way.
Panetta said he supports Allen, who has been in command in Kabul since July 2011. He took over that summer for Petraeus, who retired from the Army to head the CIA.
"He certainly has my continued confidence to lead our forces and to continue the fight," Panetta said.
The Pentagon chief declined to explain the nature of Allen's correspondence with Jill Kelley, the Florida socialite connected to the scandal that led to Petraeus' resignation last week as director of the CIA.
Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, who appeared with Panetta and their Australian counterparts at Wednesday's news conference, declined to comment on the Allen case except to suggest it has not harmed the war effort.
She said U.S. officials have discussed the matter with allied officials.
"There has been a lot of conversation, as you might expect, but no concern whatsoever being expressed to us because the mission has been set forth and it's being carried out," Clinton said.
Panetta announced Tuesday while flying to Australia that he had ordered the Defense Department's inspector general to investigate Allen based on material referred to the Pentagon on Sunday by the FBI. Pentagon officials said the material included at least 20,000 pages of Allen correspondence.
Allen told Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, that he is innocent of misconduct, according to Col. David Lapan, Dempsey's spokesman.
Lapan said Wednesday that Dempsey called Allen on Tuesday from Perth, where Dempsey attended meetings with Panetta. Dempsey has not commented publicly.
Panetta had also announced Tuesday that the Obama administration put on hold Allen's nomination to be the next commander of U.S. European Command and the top NATO general. Allen's Senate confirmation hearing was to have been held Thursday.
Panetta said in Perth that putting a hold on the nomination was the "prudent" thing to do.
Allen, who was in Washington when Panetta announced the investigation and has not yet returned to his headquarters in Kabul, has not publicly commented on the matter.

SUV Deals: January 2013
With harsh winter storms hitting all across the country, many shoppers are looking to purchase a new vehicle that can tackle inclement weather. We've listed some of the top SUV deals available on our favorite models this month to help buyers get a vehicle that's ready for the snow.
Chevrolet Tahoe
The full-size Chevrolet Tahoe is a great deal in January. That's especially true of remaining 2012 models, which are available with up to $3,000 cash back through the end of the month. While that offer doesn't apply to 2013 models, Chevrolet is also offering up to $1,750 back on the fuel-efficient Tahoe Hybrid in January. Shoppers interested in financing will also get a great deal on a 2012 Tahoe, as the SUV is available with zero percent interest for up to 72 months plus up to $1,000 cash back. Unfortunately, Chevrolet hasn't announced any finance deals for the Tahoe's latest model year.

Hyundai Tucson
The freshly redesigned Hyundai Tucson is a great deal for shoppers looking to finance their next SUV this month. That's because the automaker is offering 1.9 percent interest for up to 60 months on all 2012 models -- a figure that rises to just 2.9 percent for 72 months. Shoppers who would prefer a 2013 also get a great deal, as Hyundai is offering interest rates starting at 2.9 percent for 60 months or 3.9 percent for up to 72 months. Shoppers looking to lease a 2013 Tucson can do so for 36 months with nothing down and payments of just $309, while 2012 models start at $239 per month after $2,399 at signing.

Jeep Grand Cherokee
Deals on the midsize Jeep Grand Cherokee SUV are available this month whether shoppers are looking to lease, finance or pay cash. For cash buyers, the automaker is offering up to $500 back on 2013 models -- a figure that jumps to $1,500 for leftover 2012 inventories. Shoppers interested in financing the SUV can get interest rates as low as 1.9 percent for up to 36 months for a 2013 model or zero percent for a 2012. But the best deal might be for lease customers, as Jeep is offering a 36-month deal on the popular SUV for just $309 per month after $2,499 at lease signing.

Subaru Forester
With a new model on the way, Subaru is doing its best to clear out dealer inventory of the compact Subaru Forester crossover. That's great news for shoppers who don't mind the styling of today's model, since Subaru is offering a host of good deals on the 2012 and 2013 Forester. The best deal is a low interest rate of just zero percent, which even applies to 2013 models. Lease shoppers can also get a good deal on the 2013 Forester, as the automaker is offering a 42-month lease with payments at just $229 after $1,929 at lease signing.

Toyota is offering a good lease deal on the rarely discounted Toyota FJ Cruiser SUV this month. Shoppers interested in leasing the boldly styled SUV can do so by putting $2,999 down and paying just $369 per month for up to 36 months -- a good deal no doubt bolstered by the FJ's strong resale value. For shoppers who like the styling and off-road ability but need more space, Toyota is also offering a good deal on its larger 4Runner, touting payments of just $299 per month with the same down payment as the FJ Cruiser.

David Hall: In 1939, the Arkansas Centennial Commisssion was once again the sole distributor of their coins. Commemorative sales had slowed down as the commemorative coin collecting fad tappered off, so the Commission had low expectations and only 2100 three coin sets were struck. This made each of the 1939 Arkansas issues one of the lowest mintage United States commemoratives. The 1939 Arkansas sets were originally sold at $10 per set.
All three of the 1939 Arkansas half dollars are about of equal rarity. The 1939 is a little rarer than the other two, especially in MS65 condition. The average grade is MS63 to MS65, with few, if any, circulated examples known as most of the original 2100 coins minted were saved. In superb MS66 condition, the 1939 Arkansas is definitely rare. The typically encountered specimen usually has subdued but somewhat frosty luster. And of course many survivors are toned to some degree.

Moss helps A's down Angels
Anaheim, CA – Brandon Moss went 3-for-4 with one homer, one triple and five RBI to lead the Oakland Athletics to an 11-5 rout of the LA Angels of Anaheim on Wednesday.
Seth Smith added three hits, including a pair of doubles, and two RBI and John Jaso had two hits, one RBI and two runs scored for the A's, who have won seven straight.
"Obviously, I've hit some balls well," said Moss. "But no matter what it might look like, I've just had some hits that have found holes and broken bats and roll-overs that have gone through. Sometimes baseball's like that."
Tommy Milone (2-0) allowed four runs on seven hits while fanning five over five full frames to earn the win.
Howie Kendrick went 3-for-5 with two RBI, while Josh Hamilton, Mark Trumbo and Hank Conger added one RBI apiece for the Angels, losers in three straight.
Joe Blanton (0-2) was tagged for six runs on 10 hits over five-plus innings to absorb the loss.
"There were a couple of situations where I tried to put guys away," Blanton said. "I mean, I generally don't try to strike guys out. I try to make the defense work for me."
The A's took a 1-0 lead in the top of the first inning. Coco Crisp hit a leadoff single, stole second and moved to third on a Jaso ground out. Jed Lowrie followed with a ground out to score Crisp.
The Angels, though, tied the game in the home half. Alberto Callaspo singled then moved to third on an Albert Pujols double. Hamilton followed with a sacrifice fly to score Callaspo.
Oakland poured on three more in the third. Erick Sogard opened the frame with a single and moved to second on a fielding error by Hamilton. Crisp's ground out moved Sogard to third and Jaso plated him with a base hit to right field. Lowrie followed with a single to left-center field to put two on with two out and Moss followed with a triple down the right-field line to clear the bases.
The Angels answered in the bottom half when Pujols scored after Trumbo reached on an error.
Moss clubbed his second homer in as many games in the fifth to give the visitors a 5-2 lead, but Los Angeles added a pair of runs in the bottom of the inning to pull within 5-4.
Callaspo walked and Pujols laced a ground-rule double to left field to put runners at second and third. Milone struck out the next two hitters, but couldn't get out of the inning unscathed as Kendrick roped a two-run single to right-center field.
Oakland broke the game open with a five-run sixth. Mark Lowe issued a bases- loaded walk to Yoenis Cespedes, spelling the end of his night. Dane De La Rosa didn't fair much better though, as he walked the first batter he faced to force in a run. Smith and Josh Donaldson followed with back-to-back singles to cap the inning.
Moss' RBI single in the seventh gave Oakland an 11-4 lead, and Conger's base hit in the bottom of the eighth accounted for the final difference.
Game Notes
Donaldson had two hits ... Sogard went 2-for-5 and scored twice ... Oakland was 5-for-21 with runners in scoring position ... Pujols had four hits, including two doubles ... Angels outfielder Mike Trout went just 1-for-4 ... The Angels went 2-for-16 with runners in scoring position and left 13 runners on base.

FRANKFURT, Sept 30 (Reuters) - Microsoft's Windows
platform has reached a 9.2 percent share in the smartphone
operating system (OS) market in key European markets, driven by
Nokia's low and mid-range models, market research
firm Kantar said on Monday.
During the three months to August, the Windows Phone
platform reached a market share of over 10 percent for the first
time in France and Britain, with 10.8 percent and 12 percent
respectively, the researcher said.
Nokia, which earlier this month agreed to sell its mobile
phone handset business to Microsoft, is the main user of the
Windows platform and the driver behind the increase.
"Windows Phone's latest wave of growth is being driven by
Nokia's expansion into the low and mid-range market with the
Lumia 520 and 620 handsets," said Kantar analyst Dominic
"These models are hitting the sweet spot with 16 to 24
year-olds and 35 to 49 year-olds, two key groups that look for a
balance of price and functionality in their smartphone."
Google's Android, which runs on Samsung
and Sony smartphones among others, remained the leading
platform in key European markets, which include Britain,
Germany, France, Italy and Spain.
Android's market share increased to 70.1 percent from 68.8
percent in the same period last year. Apple's iOS was
the second-biggest platform with a 16.1-percent market share, 2
percentage points more than last year.
BlackBerry, which earlier this month agreed to go
private, saw its market share more than halved to 2.4 percent
from 5.8 percent.

TONIGHT: Citizens Awarded for Helping Catch Homicide Suspect
November 14th, 2012 by milwaukeepolice
It's not only police conduct that earns recognition – Milwaukee Police Chief Edward A. Flynn will be presenting a citizen award for Valorous Conduct to to three citizens who went over and above for their fellow man. The awards will be presented at the Milwaukee Police Merit Awards ceremony on Wednesday, November 14 at 6 p.m. at the Milwaukee Police Training Academy, 6680 N. Teutonia Ave.
This crime was newsworthy when it occurred, and the presentation is equally notable. Lance Corporal Allen-Minley will be joining the ceremony via video conferencing from Okinawa, Japan, where he is stationed. Also receiving this award in person are Ms. Kameelia Allen-Minley and Mr. Jeffrey Bass.
On September 2, 2012, prior to his deployment, Lcpl. Kumasi Allen-Minley, his sister, Kameelia Allen-Minley and their friend, Jeffrey Bass went to Reservoir Park to see the city lights. As Ms. Allen-Minley and Mr. Bass sat on a bench enjoying the view, Lcpl. Allen-Minley saw a man jogging toward them. He noticed that the man was cursing and did not appear to be in a normal state of mind. When the agitated man sat down on the bench, Lcpl. Allen-Minley saw that he had a knife. Fearing for their safety, he quietly told his sister and Mr. Bass to leave, while he stayed behind, engaging the man in conversation.
After a few minutes, he saw that Mr. Bass was clearing the park, so he went to help him. They approached a woman who was lying on the ground who appeared to be sleeping, but they quickly realized she was deceased. Lcpl. Allen-Minley told his sister and friend to go to the car, while he called 9-1-1. As he was leaving the park, he noticed that the man was behind him. The three got into their car, followed the man to a gas station and then to a bus stop. With the information they provided to the dispatcher, the suspect was taken into custody without incident. The courageous actions of Lcpl. Kumasi Allen-Minley, Ms. Kameelia Allen-Minley and Mr. Jeffrey Bass resulted in the arrest of a dangerous individual who was intent on harming others.
We are grateful for those citizens who don't hesitate to step in and help their fellow man.

Edward Leigh, the Tory MP, is calling for a change to the Equality Act to prevent a repeat of the case of a Christian housing trust manager who was demoted for airing his views on gay marriage on Facebook.
Adrian Smith, 55, was stripped of his managerial rank at the trust in Trafford, Greater Manchester, and had his salary almost halved after expressing the view that same-sex weddings in churches were "an equality too far".
The posting, amid a discussion thread on his personal Facebook page, echoed what was Government policy at the time but a colleague took offence, prompting his demotion.
And even though he won a legal challenge against his treatment, the High Court had no power to order his reinstatement.
Mr Leigh fears that teachers and other public servants could be punished and "treated as outcasts" for refusing to promote gay marriage if it becomes law later this year.
It follows legal advice by the human rights specialist Aidan O'Neill QC for the Coalition For Marriage, which campaigns against same-sex unions, concluding that teachers and hospital or prison chaplains would be among those affected.
The former trade minister, who served under Margaret Thatcher and John Major, is bringing forward a 10 minute rule bill in the House of Commons next week, which could open the way for an amendment to the Equality Act to protect such people.
It would classify "conscientious beliefs about the definition of marriage" as a "protected characteristic", alongside factors such as gender, race, age or disability.
The act makes it illegal to treat people unfairly because of such characteristics.
In his address next week Mr Leigh will accuse the Government, led by his own party, as "arrogant" and "out of touch" on the question of marriage.
"As Aidan O'Neill's legal opinion suggests, if the Government is successful in redefining marriage, then there are hundreds of thousands of teachers, parents, foster carers, or even hospital and army chaplains who could find themselves being disciplined for their beliefs, just as Adrian Smith was," he said.
"To think otherwise is out of touch with reality.
"If the Government is serious about protecting those who back the current definition of marriage from being marginalised for their beliefs then it must act immediately to change the Equality Act.
"If it does not then it will opens the door to Christians, Muslims, Jews - and anyone else with a conscientious objection - being disciplined, demoted, or even sacked for backing the current definition of marriage."
The Coalition is expected to publish its "Equal Marriage Bill" imminently complete with a so-called "quadruple lock" of measures to protect religious groups which do not wish to carry out same-sex ceremonies from being forced to.
But Mr Leigh voiced doubts that any safeguards could withstand a challenge at the European Court of Human Rights.
"The Government might think that any legislation it introduces is bomb proof, but the reality is the UK has a very poor record when tested in the European Courts," he said.
"According to the Equality and Human Rights Commission, during the period from 1966 - when the UK opted in to the jurisdiction of the ECHR - up to and including 2010, there were 443 judgments relating to the UK.
"In 271 of those cases the ECHR found that the UK had breached the Convention.
"Given the Government's poor track record of winning in Europe, it would be the height of arrogance to think any legislation will not end up before the European Court, where is stands a good chance of being ruled against."

20 Ways to Change a Classic Vitra Panton Chair
Would you mess with an icon? Twenty top Canadian designers were invited to redesign the classic Vitra Panton Chair. Their designs were auctioned off for charity and displayed at Toronto Interior Design Show 2011 (TIDS11). Throughout the fair, the debate raged: is this project inspiring, disappointing or sacrilegious?
Proceeds of the auction went to Casey House, the first free-standing HIV/AIDS hospice in Canada.

Subaru WRX and WRX STI Earn IIHS Top Safety Pick Ratings
- Subaru's new WRX and WRX STI earn IIHS Top Safety Pick scores
- Both models earned Good ratings in all five IIHS tests
- The 2015 WRX and WRX STI are on sale now
The 2015 Subaru WRX and WRX STI have earned Top Safety Pick designations from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). That's the latest from the nonprofit, which recently announced the ratings after crash-testing the newly redesigned high-performance Subaru models.
According to IIHS, the Top Safety Pick classification came after both the WRX and WRX STI earned the organization's top rating -- Good -- in all five of its tests. That even includes the new small front-overlap test, which has proven difficult for many compact cars. In the small overlap test, the subject car strikes a barrier -- meant to replicate a utility pole or tree -- on the driver's side at 40 miles per hour.
The WRX and STI's Top Safety Pick ratings will come as no surprise to many safety-conscious car shoppers, as the regular Subaru Impreza already earned the same stellar rating late last year. While the WRX and STI are heavily based on the Impreza, IIHS says the high-performance models are different enough to warrant separate crash tests.
In addition to their excellent performances in the small front-overlap test, the WRX and WRX STI also returned good scores in each of IIHS' other tests: moderate front overlap, side impact, roof strength and head restraints. Each test measures an entirely different part of the car's crashworthiness, from the risk of rollover damage to the potential for injury to a back-seat child in a side impact.
The excellent IIHS rating is yet another feather in the cap of Subaru's 268-horsepower WRX, which was revealed late last year at the Los Angeles Auto Show to major fanfare. Much to the excitement of car enthusiasts, an even sportier WRX STI debuted a few months later at the Detroit Auto Show, this time with a 305-hp engine. Both models are officially on sale now.
What it means to you: Although you may buy the 2015 Subaru WRX or WRX STI for performance, excellent crash-test scores are a key added benefit.

DOWNERS GROVE — DuPage County Sheriff's officials detonated what was believed to have been an unexploded mortar round — but proved to be a dud — in Downers Grove on Friday morning.
According to police, the individual was hosting a garage sale and was told by a patron that the device on display could be a live explosive.
The individual was en route to the Downers Grove police department when officers responded about 9:30 a.m. to the 6500 block of Fairview Avenue. They located the device in the car, confirmed it appeared to be a mortar shell, and called in the bomb squad. The mortar was removed and destroyed by the DuPage County Sheriff's Office Bomb Squad, and officials determined it was not a live explosive.
"The process resulted in a loud noise that could be heard throughout the area," a Downers Grove police press release stated. "Area residents were notified of this incident and every precaution was taken to ensure the safety of the public."

Annie Freeman is dead. She died of cancer at age 56 after rising from a teenage suicide attempt to live life on her own terms...dancing, she would say.

Lost in Space
More About:
A version of this article appears in the June 16 edition of Aviation Week & Space Technology.
GenCorp CEO Scott Seymour was in our offices the other day, advocating a strategy—I will not say a new strategy because there hasn't been one up to now—for the U.S. government's development and procurement of large liquid-fuel rocket engines. It might be an expensive solution to a problem that we don't have.
GenCorp swallowed up Pratt & Whitney Rocketdyne last year to become the exclusive U.S. engine supplier to the United Launch Alliance, under the Aerojet Rocketdyne brand. It is now proposing something unknown since the days of Apollo: a new U.S. government-sponsored liquid oxygen (LOX) and kerosene engine, called AR-1.
Seymour proposes that the government conduct a competition to select a new 250,000-lb.-thrust rocket, which then would be available for anyone providing launch services to NASA or the Air Force. The other qualified competitor would be SpaceX, which would need to design a new engine since its Merlin is too small and the in-development LOX-methane Raptor is too large.
The desire for a new engine contest is understandable, since GenCorp (and the government space program it supplies) is in a hole that the customer has been digging diligently for decades. In the early 1990s, as it became clear that the space shuttle was neither safe nor affordable, and with government spacecraft being launched by a triad of elderly rockets, the customer made a new plan.
The Pentagon would develop two new expendable rockets and NASA would build an X-plane demonstrator for a reusable launch vehicle. The government would use competing expendables under full-service launch contracts, while the X-plane would reduce risk for an industry-funded development program.
The reusable-launcher project cratered, thanks to unrealistic requirements. The Lockheed Martin X-33 demonstrator (see photo) was scrapped, unflown, in 2001. The Evolved Expendable Launch Vehicle yielded the Atlas V, with Russia's RD-180 engine, and the all-American LOX-hydrogen Delta IV, but the business model did not work as well and competitors had to be merged into a monopoly. Today, GenCorp's only homegrown, operational booster engine is the RS-68 on the Delta IV, which survives because it is the only launcher for big, secret military satellites.
The threat of a Russian embargo on the RD-180 is another problem of the government's own making. The original plan was to bring production in-country, but nobody wanted to pay to do it, partly because it would be expensive. As one Pratt & Whitney executive said as the deal was being put together: "The good news is that we're 20 years ahead of the Russians in gas turbines. The bad news is that we're 20 years behind them in rockets." If the RD-180 cannot be relied on, GenCorp and others argue, the U.S. has a national need for a new engine as a backup to the RS-68.
SpaceX, meanwhile, is using embargo fears to push its case, stalking the military market like a ravening wolf and offering both the low costs of kerosene and the proposed Falcon Heavy to replace Delta IV. One of Seymour's executives thought I was criticizing SpaceX when I called the Merlin "the world's best-built V-2 engine," but I wasn't. The KISS principle ("keep it simple, stupid") is most applicable to space launch.
SpaceX is advancing in all directions —a human-rated spacecraft, reusability and a million-pound-thrust LOX-methane motor—and despite normal setbacks, it has failed to fall on its face as many people believed it would.
Hence GenCorp's concern. But its solution runs counter to the total-launch-service model used by most of the industry, where the prime contractor selects or builds its motors. As SpaceX President Gwynne Shotwell said last week: "It would be very unusual for us to buy a critical piece of our strategy and our technology from somebody else." I think that she meant to say "are you out of your tiny mind?" but was trying to put it diplomatically.
Since Seymour expects a government-funded development program after a paper-and-components competition, too, the next question is: "What new technology is the government funding here?" High-chamber-pressure LOX-kerosene rockets may be new to U.S. industry, but not to the world.
If big U.S. government money is going to be spent on space launch, and if SpaceX can provide an "assured access" backup, why not spend it on reusability—the only strategy that promises dramatically lower costs. The X-33 did not fail, and the shuttle did not miss its economic goals by a parsec or two, because reusability is a bad idea: Lousy requirements did it for them both. A modern, intelligently sized two-stage reusable system is like G.K. Chesterton's view of Christianity: It "has not been tried and found wanting; it has been found difficult and not tried." It's time to change that.

|NewsUSA) – A new line of fruit-flavored protein-based drinks hopes to help seniors and those with dietary challenges meet their nutrition goals.
The makers of Isopure, a whey protein drink marketed to athletes and bodybuilders, realized that seniors, weight-loss surgery patients, and people receiving chemotherapy or radiation therapy were seeking out their products at health and nutrition stores. Recognizing that these customers' nutritional goals were different from those of fitness enthusiasts, the company created Isopure Plus — a line of clear, fruit-flavored,vitamin-fortified, protein-based nutrition and zero-carb drinks to help them meet these goals.
Under-nutrition or malnutrition is common among seniors and is often due to one or more factors, which include inadequate food intake; food choices that lead to dietary deficiencies; and illness that can cause increased nutrient requirements, increased nutrient loss, and poor nutrient absorption. Similarly, people receiving chemo, radiation, or anti-retroviral therapy may experience under- or malnutrition due to increased body stress from their illness and side effects of treatment. Nutritional drinks such as Isopure Plus can help these people get the protein, vitamins and calories they need to maintain proper nutrition.
In the past, nutritional drinks meant thick, gloppy milkshake-like formulations, usually in chocolate- or vanilla-based flavors. Many of these drinks contain ingredients that prove difficult for the lactose-intolerant and people with sensitive stomachs to drink regularly. By contrast, Isopure Plus is easy to drink, fruit-flavored and free from fat, gluten and lactose. It delivers 15 grams of protein and contains all eight essential amino acids plus vitamins in a single eight-ounce serving.
Another growing group, weight-loss surgery patients, are having difficulty getting proper nutrition as well, but need to avoid sugars and carbohydrates. Weight-loss surgery patients face a unique dietary challenge immediately following their procedure and must follow a strictly regimented liquid diet during their recovery. Getting adequate protein can be problematic for these people as many protein-rich foods can be difficult to digest during the early stages of recovery. Isopure Plus Zero Carb Protein Drink can provide these patients with the same benefits as Isopure Plus Nutritional Drink but without the calorie-packed sugars and carbohydrates.
The Isopure Plus line of drinks currently comes in two flavors — Alpine Punch and Grape Frost — and is available online and at GNC stores.

Anyone who has followed our columns knows that I am a huge believer in the power of technology to transform education and enable "leapfrog" progress for our children.
And unless you have been living under a rock, don't read newspapers, watch TV or think about what's happening in the world, one thing is abundantly clear to all - technology is as vital to education in the 21st Century as books and chalk boards were in the 19th and 20th centuries.
So the question is: How is South Carolina doing in integrating digital learning into our public schools? The report card is in and the answer truly is - good, bad and ugly.
A recent study by the Foundation for Excellence in Education is entitled Digital Learning Report Card 2012. It is just that, a report card of how each state is doing with tons of facts, figures, statistics, data and analysis to back it up.
And in case you are tempted to dismiss the study as some sort of biased sham perpetrated by some special partisan or corporate interest, don't - its credibility and bipartisan credentials are impeccable. The Foundation was started in 2008 by former Gov. Jeb Bush of Florida, and in 2010, with former West Virginia Gov. Bob Wise, they launched the Digital Learning Council to study what each state was doing and provide a yardstick to measure progress.
The mission and message of the Foundation as outlined by Gov. Bush could not be clearer or more important - "Education is our nation's great equalizer. Ensuring the next generation of Americans has an equal opportunity to achieve greatness is a central tenet of our education system…We have the tools at our hands, let's get the policy right. We don't have any second chances."
So, has South Carolina gotten the policy right? Again, it's good, bad and ugly.
First the good. When compared to other states in overall performance, we do well. In fact, South Carolina is ranked 9th among the 50 states. This overall ranking is based on detailed measurements of 10 different elements using 39 separate metrics. It's the single most important measure in the study and in it, we do well.
There are lots of reasons for this but one big reason is that in years past, the SC Educational Television system and its operations were the best in the nation. We created a very strong early foundation of integrating media and digital tools into the whole education process. We should all be very proud of what we did…back then.
Next, the bad. Although we are in the Top 10, our overall score is only 75 percent, or a letter grade of C. In some areas, we rank very high and get an A - quality content, assessment and accountability, and quality choices of digital providers. But in other important areas, we are a miserable failure with a D or F - student eligibility, adequate funding and infrastructure support.
As with so many other areas of education in the state - some places we're great, some we are terrible - and the overall results put us in the C or lower category.
And now, the truly ugly. The ugly part is that the state Legislature is doing nothing to take seriously the importance of digital education and is taking no steps to improve the current situation.
In 2011, there were only two significant pieces of digital learning legislation even introduced in the legislature; both of them failed to pass. In 2012, it was even worse; no significant bills were even introduced. For 2011-12 combined, we were the only state in the union that did not pass any significant digital learning legislation - none, nada, zippo.
As ironic as it seems, the best words of wisdom on what we must do on digital learning come from our distant past. In his second Annual Message to Congress - what we would today call his second State of the Union - Abraham Lincoln said, "It is not can any of us imagine better? But can we all do better?…The occasion is piled high with difficulty, and we must rise to the occasion. As our case is new, so we must think anew and act anew."
We as a state must heed Lincoln's words to be successful in the 21st Century.
It is vital that our state's political leaders "think and act anew."

I wrote about Irwin John Jonas a year ago in regards to D-Day. I have a new document I want to share relating to him.
As I mentioned then, he participated in the D-Day invasion and lost his life on 11 July 1944, almost 71 years ago, near Saint-Lô, France. He was part of the 38th Infantry Regiment then in the 2nd Infantry Division. They landed on Omaha Beach on the day after D-Day.
As you can see, this is the Application for his headstone giving his birth and death date. He is buried in Richmond, Cache, Utah.
While the death is tragic enough, the family still has to deal with the paperwork and other related issues with someone's death. We often forget about those incidental issues. Here is a copy of the document just to resolve the headstone issue. I assume the military had a quarry and set of stone masons just to take care of all these headstones, and then the shipping clerks to have them sent all over the nation.
Let's not just forget the sacrifice of those who died for our freedom, but also the family who sacrificed with the aftermath of such a sacrifice as well.
Sadly, the tombstone provided in this application has been seriously damaged by Richmond City. For which they have ignored my phone calls and requests for communication. Even more tragic, this was not the only marker I can see damaged by careless caretakers.

NEW YORK (AP) Chavaughn Lewis scored 19 points and Devin Price added 16 as Marist defeated Columbia 67-62 Saturday night in a game that featured 11 lead changes and was tied nine times.
Jay Bowie and T.J. Curry each hit two free throws in the final 10 seconds for the Red Foxes (1-2) after Brian Barbour's layup brought the Lions (2-1) within a point, 63-62.
Barbour scored 15 of his 19 points in the second half and made 10 of 10 from the free-throw line overall, including eight in the second half.
Columbia led 27-19 with 3:39 to go until halftime, but Marist scored the next eight points on 3-pointers by Isaiah Morton and Price and a jumper by Lewis. Neither team led by more than four the rest of the way until Curry's final free throw.
Mark Cisco added 12 points and Grant Mullins 11 for Columbia.
